Finally! The Reckoning news many of us have been impatiently waiting for has arrived. The Bowtied Wonder confronts a career implosion. The part of the story nobody else is telling; a Special Edition.
Lori - I saw that. I am so very sad for his family and for all of us that loved him. I had the pleasure of meeting and chatting with him a number of times. He lived nearby and we ran into him and his family at a local restaurant a couple of years ago.
But I feel certain he saw the face of Jesus and am comforted by that.
It was too soon Laura. He was still needed here by us. I will never understand why God took him away too soon. I agree that Jesus let him know he is/was a good and faithful servant and the Gates opened for Warner. My heart hurts over this. What a privilege to have met him. I only was able to see him on the VSRF Rumble shows when he was a guest. What a fine man. His legacy will be phenomenal.
I'm not sure it's fixed yet. I see 18+ "hidden replies" to this piece as of this moment. It's supposed to be 18 but if I scroll down, it looks more like 75.
Same... but I think it's only counting the direct replies and not responses to THOSE comments. Also, while I am 1000% against censorship of any kind, it's sort of handy to have all the "good stuff" grouped together and highlighted like that! (Reminds me of the Disinformation Dozen—thanks for telling me *exactly* who to follow!) ;)
You might need to log out of substack and log back in, possibly clear browser cache and cookies as well. You also need to turn it off under your own profile as well. I don't see any hidden comments on this post.
Maybe those hidden replies are people you have blocked…just a thought! I have blocked some people here in the comment section…not many, maybe five or six, and I do believe they were commenting regularly, and now I enjoy the comment section again.
That explanation of Jeff's left something to be desired. I notice that he can go into deep detail over his article themes, but not something that might hurt his Substack image. That is only "soft" honesty.
Jeff's action should not have been because of "popular demand" but SHOULD have been because it was the right thing to do from the get-go... not three or four days later.
Don't like the auto moderation one bit, but I suppose it is a time saver since I don't have time to read all the comments. I can now just scroll to the bottom to read all the hidden replies that Substack doesn't think I need to see.
What took you so long, Jeff? You as a Substack host must have known this was going to happen, some time ago. And you as a builder of a "free speech and truth-telling theme" would not have had to consider it for more than 30 seconds if your theme is authentic.
Hm-m-m....
Alex Berenson says this today:
"Substack has lost its way
It was once THE place for contrarian thinking and reporting. Now nearly all its biggest newsletters/podcasts serve conventional liberal/woke pap. Is that really its future?"
I'll cut him some slack. We don't have the 500-1,000 comments to moderate each day, maybe he thought was time-saver. But the autocensorship to "community standards" could never be a good idea. And I don't doubt that C&C is also under the same shadow-banning, maybe that realization helped him see why the "help" SS offered isn't worth it? But a little ribbing him for the delayed response, fine.
FF, I don't believe that he actually reads all of the comments here each day. I am quite sure he doesn't. Those are not billable hours.
If Jeff runs a law firm, and a lucrative series of Substacks....he cannot possibly be as naive as your suggest.
C'mon, FF..... don't cut out on us now. For a while there, you were doing well at seeing behind the curtain. It is as if the first half-baked excuse makes you say, "Oh alright then, I don't see it anymore". See how fragile freedom can be? People often discard it very quickly.
I was born in 1950 and in those days "freedom of speech" was as sacred as motherhood, freedom of religion and gun rights. This all began to change after the 60s. Now, most people under the age of 40 have no concrete idea of what free speech is or what it means or even what it meant to our forefathers. Now it's just a trash can for equivocation, deception and self-serving entitled Marxist theology.
"My people perish for lack of knowledge." The immediate future (10 to 20 years) looks very dark to me. This whole C&C issue over Hotez is NOT a "reckoning". Hotez is a clown and not worth more than 20 seconds of attention. Whether he lives in the lap of luxury or is hauled off to Gitmo is of no consequence. He will reap his "rewards" God has in store for him in due time. Making an "issue" out of Hotez is a diversion from what a real reckoning would be and a deception that reinforces the false premise that "covid" was a lab leak and hides the truth that the entire plandemic and roll-out of the military's bio-weapon kill shot was created, financed and executed by the USG Department of Defense. All - ALL - of the excess deaths above baseline for the last six years and the INCREASING excess deaths going forward for the indeterminate future of at least the next 20 years is the result of the bio-weapon deployed on the American people. THERE IS NO EXCESS DEATH FROM SOMETHING CALLED COVID. The ENTIRE "covid" plandemic was a psyops smoke screen to hide the mass genocide being wrought upon everyone's family and neighbors through the means of the bio-weapon shot that was deployed by the US military.
A REAL reckoning would not be concerned with the idiot clowns that were used to pull the wool over the eyes of America. A real reckoning would take down at least 20% of the USG and the military and would result in the execution of people for genocide - ie mass murder - who you never even heard of.
We have been subjected to the indoctrination that free speech is the People vs Larry Flynt porn is constitutionally protected, but speech about politicians and public policy isn't. And that smoking pot, doing drugs, mandating "gender pronouns," gay/transpecies marriage, genitally mutilating and sterilizing children, mandating experimental biotech elixir injections, mandating masks, permitting non-citizen voting, banning consumption of energy and travel, etc is "freedom" of both speech and practice, but objecting to an of it is violating the civil rights of others.
Yes. Orwellian Newspeak has infiltrated society, culture and law and governance. Soft times produce soft men. We are entering hard times. I don't think there's any other way through the cycle of human societies. We got the tail end of the soft times. Now we get it good and hard.
Read "The Abolition of Man" by C.S. Lewis (1963). Sample quote: "In a sort of ghastly simplicity, we remove the organ and demand the function. We make men without chests and expect of them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honor and are shocked to find traitors in our midst. We castrate and bid the geldings be fruitful."
No cutting out on nobody. And you're probably right about him reading, though he may have hired admin reading to look out for the really bad stuff. It's not naiveté, just pragmatism. Maybe its been completely unmoderated until now? Dunno. Just saying he mea culpa'd, whatever his motivations were, and there's bigger fish to fry than him over this.
And do you really think after my Alert and the comment thread going on there, all the other Stacks I shared it on that I'm the cut and run type? And did you see the Substack semi-official "expert" who weighed in on my Alert and my reply? Do you see cut and run in that? Jeff may be a bigger hopium pusher than my spidey senses allow me to be receptive to, but that's about my only beef with him. Not worth me training fire on him.
NOW, if he had kept the autocensor on...different story!!
Why make the big fuss at all then, FF, it you were just going to drop it at that weak excuse from Jeff Childers? And it was very weak. Given that his whole thrust on this Substack is to uncover the sins against freedom.
Except his own sins, or those of Substack. Because then we're talking real money being at stake. Jeff's potential money.
I see the lay of the land here. Both with Jeff Childers and several other "freedom fighters" who fight for freedom only when it does not cost them anything. It is what I have long suspected on many Substacks. Jeff is not the exception....he's the rule.
This was credibility-blowing day at C&C. I am out of here. Not wasting my time and effort on another phony.
But Jeff will be glad I am gone, because that makes one less person as an astute overseer here. He doesn't have to worry any more that I will train my skills on him and his discrepancies. Though I may discuss this experience elsewhere.
Turn finger around about fuss. I just don't have the same axe to grind with him. He fixed. Mine is with Substack. Not fixed. But, you do you. Glad we agree about Substack censorship overall.
Uh, for thoss upvoting this while ignoring the "bring free speech back to c&c" comment just below it, I think there may be a bigger picture at play here, with a lot more at stake... Just thinking out loud.
Jayson--is Childers permitting AI to 'rank' our Comments now? I just found out my Comment from today is being 'grayed out' and 'buried' so most people cannot see it.
TriTorch, are you saying that by disabling content moderation, the Substack author is subjected to shadow banning on the platform? I queried ChatGPT and gleaned the following. My prompt specifically required statements of facts only, with full neutrality (no bias):
"Based on publicly available information, here are the facts:
What is Substack’s content moderation policy?
Substack has had content moderation policies since its early years. It publicly described its approach in 2020 as “hands-off” or “decentralized moderation.” The company stated that it generally favors broad freedom of expression while prohibiting specific categories such as spam, harassment, doxxing, certain illegal content, and some forms of pornography. 
When was content moderation implemented?
Content moderation was not newly introduced in 2025 or 2026. Substack publicly documented moderation policies by December 2020, and enforcement mechanisms existed before then. 
Were authors notified when moderation was enabled?
I could not find evidence that Substack recently enabled a new platform-wide moderation system affecting all authors without notice. Substack regularly updates policies and features, but there is no public evidence that a major moderation system was secretly activated across the platform. 
What content is moderated?
Substack states it may act against content involving:
* Spam
* Harassment
* Doxxing
* Certain illegal content
* Copyright violations
* Some sexually explicit content
* Certain content restricted by laws in specific jurisdictions (for example, UK Online Safety Act requirements) 
If moderation is disabled, does it affect discoverability?
There is no public evidence that turning off a publication’s moderation settings automatically reduces search ranking, visibility, or discoverability. Search visibility on Substack appears to depend on multiple factors, including publication settings, recommendations, subscriber growth, and platform search behavior. 
Who decided to implement moderation?
Substack’s moderation policies are set by Substack management and ownership as part of the platform’s Terms of Use and Content Guidelines. They are private-company policies. Some moderation requirements also arise from legal obligations in various countries. 
Has Substack ownership or its board recently changed?
I found no evidence of a recent ownership change or board takeover that coincided with a new moderation policy. Substack remains led by its founders, including Chris Best and Hamish McKenzie. I found no evidence that a new controlling owner recently imposed a moderation shift. 
Is there evidence that an outside funder is paying Substack to censor content?
I found no factual evidence that a government, corporation, donor, investor, or other outside party is providing funds to persuade Substack to increase censorship. Public reporting discusses criticism of Substack from various groups, but I found no verified evidence of such a funding arrangement. 
Bottom line
The available evidence indicates that Substack has used content moderation for years, but generally follows a lighter-touch approach than many large social platforms. The company continues to remove or restrict certain categories of content while allowing a broad range of lawful political and cultural speech. There is no publicly verified evidence of a recent ownership change or outside funding campaign that caused a major shift toward censorship. "
I am in Tasmania. Australia passed a law so that children under 16 can't get on social media sites. I can get on Facebook, Twitter, et al, but am blocked from Substack unless I provide biometrics to Australia monitors, including a photo or video of me. I have so far managed a workaround with US wifi, but I wonder why it is only Substack? I have found that the site has degraded, I don't like the constant push to the app or the daily (or MORE) emails from the monetized writers. I have tried to unsubscribe to one particularly frequent one, but it still arrives like clockwork. Sad, because I really enjoy the ease of creating here. My 90 year old father loves the photos and stories of my Tasmanian move, so I will continue to use the platform for now. It’s sort of turning into YouTube with those scary titles on the medical ones. Rant over. (None too soon, right?)
Fraulein, agree, Substack is going full tilt in the wrong direction and it is very disheartening. Thanks for looking out for your father and keeping him engaged with your adventures, doubless these efforts mean the world to him. Best to you and yours.
Thank you! Yes, the only down side - and it's a big one - is being so far away from family. I try to get home at least once a year, twice if there's a wedding, but jet lag is a PAIN. Oh, forgot the other big down side, no Constitutional protections. Who knew I would miss the right to bear arms and guaranteed free speech so much? ;) Thank goodness for C & C and his reader comment section. (In case you are wondering why I ended up here, Herr Zen is from NZ. Australia is our compromise location. At least they like Americans more than their Kiwi counterparts! )
Seems to be popping up in multiple places and where you might least expect it.... I challenged a Tucker Carlson post and have had what can only be called "Censorship" results on the information shared to debunk both his claims and various conspiracy theorists following his lead.
I know, kinda funny but I hope everyone will cursor down to Tri Torch's post on the Auto Censorship issue we are now facing on SS. Its a far more important issue than the cactus dick pic. Upvote Tri Torch's post now! Lets get the answer from Jeff Childers.
Also, Please consider removing (un-selecting) your upvote on McCarthy's comment so we can all push Tri's comment to the top.
Ah, Jenna. I can only see The Abominable Snowman from Santa Claus is Coming to Town when I see Hotez's photo. Thanks.! It is uncanny the resemblance. But the snow monster is redeemable and didn't go dragging around a giant prescription erection trying to jab everyone in sight.
All, Substack's new 'Auto-Moderation' censorship is still enabled on C&C so let's try to get Jeff's attention so he will disable it:
If you count yourself uninterested in some random "AI" algorithm first reading then capriciously concealing your and others' words here, upvote this post and reply to it with, "No Auto-Moderate", plus your reasons for why.
"Better a thousandfold abuse of free speech than denial of free speech. The abuse dies in a day; the denial slays the life of the people and entombs the hope of the race." —Charles Beadlaugh
We have always had the option to choose for ourselves who we don’t want to be exposed to, and each of us has a different standard level for making those choices for ourselves. I don’t like anyone making it for me, ai or not. No one-size-fits-all solution exists. It needs to be each individual’s choice.
The other day when I was scrolling through comments, I thought what happened to all the trolls? Did they move on? Oh yeah, I forgot I figured out how to block them! The start of my day has been much calmer. 😄
It still is! Each hidden comment has a button to 'unhide' sed comment. I see them and tap on them if I choose to, or have time to explore the rabbit hole further.
Yeah. Had to shut down a checking account and start anew recently. I have found it to be virtually impossible to speak with a human being at a business now. I gave up on one insurance company, ( I think an accident
policy that I’ve probably paid into for decades and can’t find the paperwork and don’t have a policy #), when I couldn’t get through the online gatekeeper or the phone # gatekeeper.
I actually wrote them a letter saying either a live human being fixes this, or the policy expires! I don’t care anymore.
Since every time I call a business #, I hear “We are experiencing an unusually high number of calls…” I have to assume I’m not the only one stymied by the merciless AI gatekeepers.
I spent ONE HOUR on the phone today trying to get a bank to fix its (still) broken money transfer credential verification issue that none of the techs I spoke to were aware of.
This was after spending 40 minutes on the same issue a weeks ago (and being promised it's been fixed). I literally had to hold another 15 minutes for a supervisor, who actually looked into it, unlike the gal who said, "We use a third party for that part, so we can't fix it."
My problem with all of the mandatory apps we have to use just to function is that they are developed by humans, and humans don't always get it right.
Who pays? The consumer who spends too much time clicking through phone menus to get to a "support" tech who doesn't know squat. I want my free time back!
I called my home bank because they merged and, without warning, went to a two tier verification system texting a one time code to the phone number on file when I opened the account ten years ago. I live in Tasmania now and had to cut that phone off. I called to update it - since I couldn't get in to website to update - and their AI, Jake (!?!?) just kept reading things off the web page when he wasn't texting my defunct phone with a code. I called back, same issue. The third time I called through, I craftily lied and said I couldn't get a deposit to go into my account. Instantly, human on the line. This has worked at other businesses. If it affects their bottom line, you sometimes get through. When I finally get a real human, I explain that I don't call unless its something I can't find on their web page, and having AI read the web page FAQ is less than helpful. Ugh.
Technology definitely does not save time or effort.
I could have added to my post that if you do get a human being and explain for the twelfth time what issue you’re having, they will probably say they can’t fix the issue, you have to go back to the mobile app that just failed you.
If they’re try to get rid of the elderly by having us all stroke out from frustration, they may succeed.
I keep finding myself back at the beginning. I used to be able to follow threads, back up to the first comment in the thread, and then continue on. Now I suddenly find myself shunted back to the first page with the 2 highlighted comments and the link to see all the rest of the comments. Totally frustrating. Anyone else having this problem?
Also, the like button only works sporadically and the back arrows don’t always work. What’s going on here?
It's been that way for me since the beginning. Especially if I click on a link. I don't have the app though bc my phone doesn't have enough memory for another app so just get the emails and then open in the duck browser.
Not really - I read TriTorch's Comment on how to turn "off" Self Moderate and did that on the Settings page of my Substack page (I believe I did originally subscribe as an Author prior to getting on the C & C Group - this was at least 4 1/2 years ago...so not quite sure about the details and timing.
Request an answer from you Jeff Childers. Certainly you do not approve of the new algorithmic auto censorship policy on SS and will "untoggle" it on C&C? Thank you.
I believe J. C. is too busy now to bother - so he's allowing the AI to do the 'job' for him as far as the Comments section is concerned--very disconcerting and it smacks on censorship--which is why I UNsub'ed from Facepoop after 12 years in 2021.
I don’t think he chose to do that purposefully. We think he is unaware that it rolled out active automatically and needs manual intervention to turn it off. Many authors will be unaware.
Yeah I’m guessing they sneaked it in and some (Berenson for example) noticed it more quickly than others. I think Jeff is pretty busy and may not pay a huge amount of attention to anything Substack beyond his writing and sometimes, the comments.
Well, I just counted all the "hidden" comments: as of now, 71 total. When SS say "17 hidden", it means 17 threads hidden.
Folks, Welcome to Amerika of the USSA. Trump is not a time machine. We are not going back to what we were..... This will continue to play out until the whole edifice collapses.
Well it’s not Trump’s fault. This type of infrastructure with social media was already built by the democrats and the deep state years ago. They are hanging on tight.
I don’t want a robot deciding what I should and shouldn’t read! I want to access to the thoughts of beautiful flawed humans, whether I agree or not. That’s what block is for!
I would prefer to see the "AI" algorithm "turned outward": "First remove the beam(s) from the eyes of our government overlords--which will occupy you for some years--before returning to this little idyll to worry yourself about motes."
In case you haven’t noticed, Flock Safety has contracted with law agencies to install AI powered cameras across the entire US. They are in our county at every entry and exit point. They are supposedly to capture license plates, but have the ability to do more, including object, vehicle, and facial recognition, behavior and crowd analysis, detect audio, and even potentially integrate with other devices. You can view the cameras at maps.deflock.org. These cameras can track you across the US. How creepy is that? They have constructed a digital prison around us. Please contact every public official you know and demand they cancel their contract and get rid of the Flock cameras. As Edward Snowden said, “Arguing that you don't care about privacy because you have nothing to hide is like arguing that you don't care about free speech because you have nothing to say.”
That is how they charge you pounds for traveling in certain places as well. I always though 'meh, they are keeping the congestion down around London'. That was 15 years ago. Yeah...no. Welcome to The Matrix.
Do you live in a Dem controlled city? Ironically, from what I’ve read online, the Dems are rejecting the cameras out of concern they will be used by ICE to find illegal immigrants or identify protestors.
That is why, queries must be carefully worded and specified as to using both Liberal and Conservative sources. Then, you query for a deeper dive and suggest STUDIES and DATA dating back to the previous Century id necessary.
I was with a group that discussed 'Water Issues', in my State, that is one of the ways to control production and insure SCARCITY for the people of the STATE, because with feared scarcity, we get hoarding of basic necessities like flour and TP. But I digress. So this group communicated via Face Book, so naturally as we grew in membership, intelligent researcher and gained retired Hydraulic Engineers, Ranchers, Farmers and even a few Politicians, we were naturally censored. Through that censorship, we became very creative about how we spelled certain BUZZ words that would set off the censors bots and get us put in FB Jail or unleash the cloak of shame, shadow banning.
An example of creative spelling, ....Klimate Ch4nj*.
Thanks for the like on my post re: ivermectin. And more importantly thanks for letting us know our comments are being hidden! That is absolutely horrifying! Apparently only those who create substack columns can hide comments or not, us lowly commenters don't have that privilege. This is against the 1st amendment of freedom of speech! Maybe a class action lawsuit is in order?
You can also set your own standards, as the writer of a blog. I just unchecked the auto-hide moderator and didn't even click on the WHAT I could hide button.
It's the new Substack censorship that Jeff has been happily going along with. Took him a long time to finally say No to it.
Jeff writes whatever sells at the time. And runs his Substack that way too. That is the truth of the matter. He is just like most other popular Substack hosts bringing in lucrative revenue from this. If the perspective changes in the Substack company, so will they. As it has. See the Alex Berenson article today.
At this time, there are 10 responses hidden. They are greyed-out, you can respond to them, but your response is greyed-out and hidden. Never noticed this before. Glanced through them, and they don't deserve to be hidden...
If Hilton and or Pratt are eliminated, California is lost. The DOJ, SCOTUS and the President must take action. Congress will never pass the Save Act. Fraudulent Elections = License to Loot and Destroy America.
By normal Californians', do you mean those of us born here before the Tech Boom ushed in Democrat voters from all over the world and the Eastern Seaboard States that once gave rise to the Country, but now just Grift in the name of "CARING"?
Completely agree, Steenroid. There’s something to be said for the natural consequences. As Jeff wrote the other day, maybe it’s time to stop trying to push the boulder uphill and let it careen downhill and destroy everything in its path. Maybe LA hasn’t hit rock bottom yet? Maybe CA in general hasn’t.
Not really. Everyone with half a brain will move out. And the rest of America will send its most profligate citizens to California. I say it's a win/win.
Not really? You move away from your grandkids, friends and neighbors, and a business that employs 100 people, as well as a 93 year old mother who couldn't take the move. We live in a Republican district, with a sheriff that fought for us during COVID. It IS hard to pack up and leave from our home we've lived in since 1983, when Republican George Deukmejian was governor . . . not that I haven't thought long and hard of it!
I understand, LHuff8, as I am in a similar situation. About four years ago we built a house in OK where we live part time. The house is there for us when the time comes though. The election fraud in the LA mayoral race is so egregious and brazenly obvious that I really hope lawsuits have been filed. We’ll see about the governor’s race.
The rabble rousers and squeaky wheels viewed on Television and the Socials is primarily in the larger Cities and in commuter choke points like the Bay Bridge or Downtown LA. The Republican voters live in the suburbs or in the country, where they either keep their heads down or have land.
Most Republican voters prefer to go about their lives and work undisturbed. Many homeschool or send their children to private schools with the Indian Kids! (kids who parents are from India, not the reservation or the Casino owning kind).
They already sent their worst actors to California! We were invaded in the late 1960's by the Flower Children and Serial Killers. Then in late 1970's by the Boat people, watch your cats and dogs carefully. And boys no longer need apply for jobs distributing the local paper! Those now go to the immigrant du jour! In the 1980's we were invaded with Tech Workers who got rich quick and began voting Democrat to assuage their new found guilt! The 1990's saw the second wave of Chinese and European Tech workers and the flood gates open for the H1B Visas for a mass invasion of Indians! Which culminated in entire neighborhoods, then cities, then School Districts becoming 95% Asian! I kid you not!
Last year I found out that my SF Bay Area School District now gives 2 'FREE' lunches per week to all students! The kids who were touting this wonder were the children of a Google Engineer, who drives a Tesla and owns 2 homes! I kid you not! I think all of America should be appalled, because this money is likely a GRIFT of the FEDERAL SNAP program. California does have a clear track record robbing other States to further their agenda!
Everyone here in Cali that voted for Hilton if they succeed in taking him out should write him in in Nov. There's no way I'm voting for a Democrat. If enough of us do that, let's see if they would even bother to count Hilton votes.
I read that Councilwoman Whatshername, the one allegedly ahead of Pratt, got 24% of the first 64% of ballots, but then 40% of the next 25% or something like that. We're talking 100s of thousands of ballots in each tranche. "Late surge by Progressives" is the reason given...BS!
Statistically more likely to win the Powerball 489 times in a row or get a coherent statement from Joe Biden or Kamala Harris.
Those "late surges" by progressives are 100% predictable in all three Left Coast states elections. The uniparty (democrat) status of CA, OR, and WA are black holes that will continue to rot in their neo-marxist cauldrons of graft and ineptitude as long as they are the ones counting the votes.
As I have said many times before, Congress is broken! There are very few who will even stand up and try to do something about the fraud. The majority are spineless and self-seeking. All they care about is their pension and any kick backs that might come their way. I believe that we, the American people need to inundate our leaders until they are so tired of hearing from us that they will give an attempt to right this ship. In Luke 18:1-8, we are given a parable of an unrighteous judge and a widow. The widow kept going to the judge for legal protection. The judge finally relented he said that although he did not fear God nor respect man, he would give the widow protection so that she would not wear him out. I believe that is what the citizenry may need to do??????
Unqualified pension + medical benefits for life for a few years' "service" under zero performance supervision is attractive. But for those who fail to perform their duties, there is little recourse.
We were told in the drops that we needed to watch California for election fraud evidence. I think they’re tracking the fraud there, but mainly it’s a wake up call for the normies. Sometimes you can’t just tell the people, you have to show them.
California is a state in this United States Union! WHY should the Left Marxists be left to destroy this state and dump all the citizenry (that can escape) on the other 49?! STOP THE CHEATING! Have a ONE day election! NO online voting (there are people from Pakistan voting online! In a California election! Fact!) there is no accountability!
REQUIRED verified ID to vote!
And surely an algorithm can detect if a vote has been placed so it cannot be done twice!
With all the tech we have today? STOP THE CHEATING!
The mail in ballots and ballot harvesting are the issue. They go to phony addresses or places where people no longer live and the harvesters pick them up and they get voted.
It’s all about the mail in ballots. That’s the issue. Not ID. That’s where the steal comes from. Same day in person elections are the only way the Dem’s can’t cheat.
Nick Shirley found a 126-year old (DOB 01/01/1900) who'd voted in numerous CA elections. This is proof the system has no oversight. How many more are there?
No! In California, it is the Democrat Party! They have total control over nearly every Government office in the State, down to and including the School Districts! Truly, they have managed by hook and often by crook to slide their people in. Sometimes they have people run in traditionally Republican Districts, pretending to be Conservatives, but when in office, they vote with the Dem's.
George Soros dumped money into DEI, soft on crime, so called "Justice" candidates for District Attorney positions in our major cities and also backed ballot initiatives created more crime and made our jails a revolving door and demoralized our Law Enforcement officers!
These are Global Initiatives, backed by Foreign ( illegal) money, designed to turn destroy and gain control of our vast natural resources and bleed the taxpayer dry while buying up land for pennies on the dollar!
"The architects and contrivers of the economic inequalities and instabilities existing on this country are the leaders and owners of the major political parties. They will not move to improve them."
Cuomo was never prosecuted for his nursing home manslaughter.
Baric and Hotez, same. Others, same.
Yes, I get it, it takes time, but time is not something we have. If we lose the midterms, this all gets memory holed. Trump will have higher priorities, like defending against new impeachments. Would the four RINOs who just voted against SAVE vote for Trump's conviction? I would not put it past them.
If five lawyers take 3 years to put together a case, can 50 lawyers do it in 3 months? I appreciate that math may not work quite that way, but it's been 6 years now since the reveal of this crime against humanity.
I do not have your patience, Jeff, or your optimism, confidence that a "Reckoning" is underway.
Not surprising at all! These four senators are the most known of quanities:
McConnell - leaving in January, and hates Trump
Tillis - same
Murkowsky - always been a problem, somehow AK keeps electing her.
Collins - Maine should be expected to have a Dem senator but she is able to survive in that blue place against all odds. She gets a pass to vote against Rs as needed.
The Four "F"ers. That is what I call them. Who in their right mind does not want legal, safe, honest and citizen verified voting. They disgust me. We the people want it and they are telling us, the ones who pay their benes, salaries to "F" ourselves. They piss me off to no end. They hate America and that pisses me off even more. When they all drop dead and hopefully I am still alive, I will add them to the list of graves I am pissing on.
Gates is both nauseating and dangerous… I simply cannot listen to him or watch him. I don’t get his whole thing.. only possibility is that he has become pure evil and then of course thinks he’s God. As a side note I was unable to like your comment. Others seemed to work…will keep investigating. I believe Gates is on trial in The Netherlands or some such place.. not holding my breath.
Exactly, Mrs. RW. Apparently there’s $600 million(!)appropriated to GAVI for 2025 and 2026 in the US budget. The only bright spot is that the money has not been released as of yet. Not sure why, but some people are fighting its release I hope.
I did that once…my friend laughed and told me to get ready to receive it. God answered with many subsequent opportunities to use His gift of patience. Still with me! 😂
One thing I’ve been thinking is how some criticism makes losing the midterms the end-all be-all … and I do get it - they will make changes that converts our system to match CA and we would never be able to vote our way out of it. But they DO have to have the executive branch too and they won’t after midterms.
However, there is still a possibility that they get control and we take it back two years later regardless of their corrupt efforts. Maybe we need the circus to become that much more obnoxious, obvious, and painful to wake the rest of the people up and then 2028 goes to the Republicans again.
All I’m trying to say is we need to vote midterms like it is the end of it all, but not lose our head or hope if we lose.
Lose House: no hope of any legislation and mainly very high likelihood of impeachment (without removal), sucking much attention and energy away from Trump Admin
Lose Senate: no good judges or Cabinet officials will be able to get approved. Big problem if a SC vacancy comes up.
Either would be bad, but not as bad as if a D gets president in 28. Especially if they/them has the House and Senate.
I agree with your frustration. But what’s different is they had the full help of the opposing party, the prosecutors. DOJ, judges, et al. In that kind of supporting environment lacking real opposition things move fast.
We have a different set of circumstances, where every step and breath gets a motion filed or a lawsuit. We have nothing but opposition from the opposing party as well as quite a few of our own. They cannot prosecute the way they should be able to because of corrupt judiciary. When you have to build the case differently to outsmart such forces, it takes a lot longer. A LOT.
Jeff, Please tell us what is up with these random blurred comments!?! Can I say, I am aghast that we're going to be censored here after everything we've been through since 2020! Ugh! I hated the forced switch over from Gmail to Substack but never said anything just because... I could edit my comments there but on SS, I've not yet figured out how.... Is this something you can do nothing about so we're stuck with this new censoring? Please address this crapola! If we're going this route here, are we headed to X, as they don't mess with us...
We must continue to pray daily for President Trump, his family and the entire administration. If SCOTUS ruling on the ballots in the MS case is settled this month like predicted and it's in our favor, all hell will break loose. Do they declare the CA primary unconstitutional? God Bless America!
Interesting Beckadee. Don’t other states, besides CA and DC allow counting of ballots received after election day? Aren’t there seven of them or something similar? Yes, CA would have to change its rules but potentially only for federal elections? It wouldn’t be retroactive though would it? It will be interesting to read this one. Jeff will analyze this for us when it comes out, thankfully.
California allows the longest time to certify of any state or territory. When I looked last year when special election, it was 30 days after Election Day (ED). Recently I read something I haven’t verified saying that a new law whittled that period to 15 days…
So:
limitless no-guard-rails mail-in ballots;
unlimited ballot harvesting;
voter rolls from which individuals are rarely removed;
accept ballots postmarked by ED for a full 7 days after ED;
no voter OD required at any stage of the process;
motor+voter registration not matched between SoS and DMV; and,
15 or 30 days to certify the slowest counting in the western world (state public schools graduate illiterate students).
Pretty good blueprint for the steal.
Add this: non-functional opposition in the form of GOP.
I can definitely attest to no id requirements as I am registered to vote in CA and anyone can walk into a polling place and vote. There used to be assignments but not anymore. Apparently the state of WA allows ballots to be counted nine days after election day. New York allows seven days like CA.
Having worked most of my 4 careers where I was the only woman in the room on the level I was, I can tell you that "men who can't keep their pants zipped" is a huge problem. (Yes, there are also women with it, but if you go to a Domestic violence case, odds are the woman is the victim)
The race is not necessarily won by the swift nor the fight to the strong, but that's the way to bet.
A guy in our neighborhood tried to break up with his predator (seriously) girlfriend in January. Nice guy. Seriously wounded vet. Older, lonely...she found him and I'm guessing brought a viagra dispenser to dispense the things like Tick tacs. He wanted to break up. She staged a DV (domestic violence) - even the police knew it was phony, but the laws favored her. She stayed living in his house for 6 months. Just got evicted by the Sheriff Dept. They had 4 guys there because they wanted a ton of witnesses. WHAT did this cost him in money and grief? His son in law a PO told him to keep his pants zipped. I will remind him of that when he gets back into his home. (She is a full blown mental case).
If our officials could "keep their pants zipped," then the opposition wouldn't have anything on them and they could do their jobs.
Those who live honorably don't have to worry about such things. Those who are not honorable are generally easy targets once someone who is in the "I don't care" club goes after them.
Lesson for people around me....don't do anything around me that you don't want known. I'm the president of the "I don't care" club. I vowed and taught in the police academy that I was not going to jail for what anyone else did. So, don't do stuff like that in front of me.
Street justice is beautiful. Hotez? How much money do you have? Send it to Dr. Lee.
Remember- street justice is true justice. Just ask Hilary. She can't get invited to a dog catcher's convention. Obama is finding that out. Takes longer than we like.
Always also remember there is "God's time and Our time." One has a longer time frame than the other. One is more permanent.
Wow, yours is the second reference today to Luke 18:1-8. Specifically, check out v. 6-8:
"And the Lord said, “Hear what the unrighteous judge said; now, will not God bring about justice for His elect who cry to Him day and night, and will He delay long over them? I tell you that He will bring about justice for them quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth?”"
Very well said, C. Wilson! Yes it does take longer than we would like to see the results of street justice. It seems to me that Baylor needs to at the very least, put Hotez on administrative leave pending investigation. Is Lee’s claim harassment or wrongful termination or both?
It would seem that Ms Lee must have been concerned enough about Dr Hotez that she kept his most damning texts rather than deleting them. Instructively most all the trophy bucks are killed while in rut or being driven from cover. Clinton, Cuomo, Epstein, Lord Monteblanc, Prince Andrew, Delorean, Woods, Spitzer, Hart and even Mark Antony- the list of trophies who got their lust ahead of their survival instincts is legendary. It also seems all of them made it worse by their responses to the exposure.
Bingo! I was at a political fundraising lunch for Rudy Giuliana, years ago, (he was testing the Presidential waters with a speaking tour), Seated at my table was an arrogant political strategist ( that I later saw on Fox a few times), we were conversing about Bill Clinton and he was trying to convince me that Bill was brilliant. Well, my answer for him, was, that Clinton might be considered brilliant at politics, but he is stupid about everything important!
Stupid because, even at his age, he has not mastered basic self-control and setting priorities! He still prioritizes his penis above all else in his life. Above his marriage, above his child and above his very important jobs! He is in effect, no smarter, nor worthy of trust than a PUBESCENT BOY!
That’s an interesting take. It’s unclear if you’re suggesting we murder them and turn cannibals to consume their human flesh as we are legally required to make use of the elk and deer we kill. Or, perhaps to you humans are less deserving of life than deer having turned thoughtless due to a raging hard-on.
In either case, I do enjoy game meat. It is uniquely the perfect combination of Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids:
Wild deer, elk, antelope, bison, and other free-ranging herbivores often have ratios near 2:1 to 4:1.
Modern grain-fed beef may range from 7:1 to 20:1 or higher.
Grain-fed poultry and pork can be even more omega-6 dominant.
I credit a lifetime of great health to the consumption of what I kill. You simply can’t get it anywhere else nor will your supplements make up for your plastic/ chemical derived nutrients.
Thanks for the reminder as I am now celebrating the passing of the midpoint of the 3rd anniversary of my 29th birthday and making ready for another great year in the woods.
Please make this a "Sticky" on the top; your adoring fans will want to know "C&C Clamor" works on Jeff too. ;^) (And they'll want some place to go to light a candle for your taking heed of us.)
You didn't happen to notice the URL of the page which actually had the settings did you? I'm curious how it could have differed because the only thing I changed was to delete my stack's identifier.
Hotez, Fauci and Baric are just a nasty nest of cockroaches that have somehow managed to escape accountability, but looks like Hotez's "luck" is about to run out! Couldn't happen to a "nicer" guy!
This Baylor isn't Baylor University in Waco. It's Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, which has been completely separate from BU for many, many years. And dancing actually came to BU's campus in the late 1980s because we had a dance on the top floor of the new parking garage during Dia del Oso weekend one year. I had the T-shirt: "No Parking on the Dance Floor." Sic 'em the ACTUAL Baylor! (BSEd '89, MSEd '92)
I emailed Baylor long ago warning the university that they can be held liable for an employee very publicly pushing an intervention that is grossly undertested and in fact can maim or kill. No response. I'll have to dig it up. I warned Baylor U; they responded with indifference. Pathetic. #Baylor
AUTHOR'S NOTE:
— Automatic moderation has been turned off due to popular demand (it was a new feature that turned on by itself).
Thank you Jeff!!!!!
I second this 💛
Laura, Warner Mendenhall just passed.
Lori - I saw that. I am so very sad for his family and for all of us that loved him. I had the pleasure of meeting and chatting with him a number of times. He lived nearby and we ran into him and his family at a local restaurant a couple of years ago.
But I feel certain he saw the face of Jesus and am comforted by that.
It was too soon Laura. He was still needed here by us. I will never understand why God took him away too soon. I agree that Jesus let him know he is/was a good and faithful servant and the Gates opened for Warner. My heart hurts over this. What a privilege to have met him. I only was able to see him on the VSRF Rumble shows when he was a guest. What a fine man. His legacy will be phenomenal.
So sorry to hear this. What a loss to us all. Praying for his family.
I'm not sure it's fixed yet. I see 18+ "hidden replies" to this piece as of this moment. It's supposed to be 18 but if I scroll down, it looks more like 75.
Same... but I think it's only counting the direct replies and not responses to THOSE comments. Also, while I am 1000% against censorship of any kind, it's sort of handy to have all the "good stuff" grouped together and highlighted like that! (Reminds me of the Disinformation Dozen—thanks for telling me *exactly* who to follow!) ;)
Jenna, did you hear that Warner Mendenhall just passed? What a sadness that rips at the Soul.
I did 💔
One of the truly good guys! He will be greatly missed.
Yes he will. I guess Billy Joel was right. Only the good die young....heavy, heavy sigh.
You might need to log out of substack and log back in, possibly clear browser cache and cookies as well. You also need to turn it off under your own profile as well. I don't see any hidden comments on this post.
Thanks. I'll try that.
Maybe those hidden replies are people you have blocked…just a thought! I have blocked some people here in the comment section…not many, maybe five or six, and I do believe they were commenting regularly, and now I enjoy the comment section again.
I went to my own settings on the app and toggled it off. No hidden comments today.
You da man!
Vox Populi!
Jeff channeling his inner Elon Musk? Or a principled stand against censorship, even the "soft" type that shadow-banning is?
That explanation of Jeff's left something to be desired. I notice that he can go into deep detail over his article themes, but not something that might hurt his Substack image. That is only "soft" honesty.
Jeff's action should not have been because of "popular demand" but SHOULD have been because it was the right thing to do from the get-go... not three or four days later.
Thank you!!!
Don't like the auto moderation one bit, but I suppose it is a time saver since I don't have time to read all the comments. I can now just scroll to the bottom to read all the hidden replies that Substack doesn't think I need to see.
What took you so long, Jeff? You as a Substack host must have known this was going to happen, some time ago. And you as a builder of a "free speech and truth-telling theme" would not have had to consider it for more than 30 seconds if your theme is authentic.
Hm-m-m....
Alex Berenson says this today:
"Substack has lost its way
It was once THE place for contrarian thinking and reporting. Now nearly all its biggest newsletters/podcasts serve conventional liberal/woke pap. Is that really its future?"
Jun 08, 2026
I'll cut him some slack. We don't have the 500-1,000 comments to moderate each day, maybe he thought was time-saver. But the autocensorship to "community standards" could never be a good idea. And I don't doubt that C&C is also under the same shadow-banning, maybe that realization helped him see why the "help" SS offered isn't worth it? But a little ribbing him for the delayed response, fine.
FF, I don't believe that he actually reads all of the comments here each day. I am quite sure he doesn't. Those are not billable hours.
If Jeff runs a law firm, and a lucrative series of Substacks....he cannot possibly be as naive as your suggest.
C'mon, FF..... don't cut out on us now. For a while there, you were doing well at seeing behind the curtain. It is as if the first half-baked excuse makes you say, "Oh alright then, I don't see it anymore". See how fragile freedom can be? People often discard it very quickly.
I was born in 1950 and in those days "freedom of speech" was as sacred as motherhood, freedom of religion and gun rights. This all began to change after the 60s. Now, most people under the age of 40 have no concrete idea of what free speech is or what it means or even what it meant to our forefathers. Now it's just a trash can for equivocation, deception and self-serving entitled Marxist theology.
"My people perish for lack of knowledge." The immediate future (10 to 20 years) looks very dark to me. This whole C&C issue over Hotez is NOT a "reckoning". Hotez is a clown and not worth more than 20 seconds of attention. Whether he lives in the lap of luxury or is hauled off to Gitmo is of no consequence. He will reap his "rewards" God has in store for him in due time. Making an "issue" out of Hotez is a diversion from what a real reckoning would be and a deception that reinforces the false premise that "covid" was a lab leak and hides the truth that the entire plandemic and roll-out of the military's bio-weapon kill shot was created, financed and executed by the USG Department of Defense. All - ALL - of the excess deaths above baseline for the last six years and the INCREASING excess deaths going forward for the indeterminate future of at least the next 20 years is the result of the bio-weapon deployed on the American people. THERE IS NO EXCESS DEATH FROM SOMETHING CALLED COVID. The ENTIRE "covid" plandemic was a psyops smoke screen to hide the mass genocide being wrought upon everyone's family and neighbors through the means of the bio-weapon shot that was deployed by the US military.
A REAL reckoning would not be concerned with the idiot clowns that were used to pull the wool over the eyes of America. A real reckoning would take down at least 20% of the USG and the military and would result in the execution of people for genocide - ie mass murder - who you never even heard of.
We have been subjected to the indoctrination that free speech is the People vs Larry Flynt porn is constitutionally protected, but speech about politicians and public policy isn't. And that smoking pot, doing drugs, mandating "gender pronouns," gay/transpecies marriage, genitally mutilating and sterilizing children, mandating experimental biotech elixir injections, mandating masks, permitting non-citizen voting, banning consumption of energy and travel, etc is "freedom" of both speech and practice, but objecting to an of it is violating the civil rights of others.
Yes. Orwellian Newspeak has infiltrated society, culture and law and governance. Soft times produce soft men. We are entering hard times. I don't think there's any other way through the cycle of human societies. We got the tail end of the soft times. Now we get it good and hard.
Read "The Abolition of Man" by C.S. Lewis (1963). Sample quote: "In a sort of ghastly simplicity, we remove the organ and demand the function. We make men without chests and expect of them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honor and are shocked to find traitors in our midst. We castrate and bid the geldings be fruitful."
No cutting out on nobody. And you're probably right about him reading, though he may have hired admin reading to look out for the really bad stuff. It's not naiveté, just pragmatism. Maybe its been completely unmoderated until now? Dunno. Just saying he mea culpa'd, whatever his motivations were, and there's bigger fish to fry than him over this.
And do you really think after my Alert and the comment thread going on there, all the other Stacks I shared it on that I'm the cut and run type? And did you see the Substack semi-official "expert" who weighed in on my Alert and my reply? Do you see cut and run in that? Jeff may be a bigger hopium pusher than my spidey senses allow me to be receptive to, but that's about my only beef with him. Not worth me training fire on him.
NOW, if he had kept the autocensor on...different story!!
Why make the big fuss at all then, FF, it you were just going to drop it at that weak excuse from Jeff Childers? And it was very weak. Given that his whole thrust on this Substack is to uncover the sins against freedom.
Except his own sins, or those of Substack. Because then we're talking real money being at stake. Jeff's potential money.
I see the lay of the land here. Both with Jeff Childers and several other "freedom fighters" who fight for freedom only when it does not cost them anything. It is what I have long suspected on many Substacks. Jeff is not the exception....he's the rule.
This was credibility-blowing day at C&C. I am out of here. Not wasting my time and effort on another phony.
But Jeff will be glad I am gone, because that makes one less person as an astute overseer here. He doesn't have to worry any more that I will train my skills on him and his discrepancies. Though I may discuss this experience elsewhere.
If you don’t like the way Jeff handles his substack then leave and start your own! I think he does an excellent job and does it every day!
Turn finger around about fuss. I just don't have the same axe to grind with him. He fixed. Mine is with Substack. Not fixed. But, you do you. Glad we agree about Substack censorship overall.
Troll.
Thank you. I hope more Substack authors make it a point to let their readers know they've turned that loathsome "feature" off.
Right answer, Thanks Jeff!
Jeff, Warner Mendenhall just passed. I don't know if you knew yet. The IMA just posted his passing a few moments ago.
*nominates Jeff for a Pulitzer for cactus photo alone*
I laughed out loud at that pic!
Was it a pic....or a prick?
A phactus?
Oh! that's clever
Oh that's good. And he's a little prick too!
Oh, that comment pricks pride.
It's a pic....about a Prick.
Ok it’s just too fun in here. Lolol
Agreed. Unsure how I'm supposed to walk away from this now to work a few hours. The comments here? #priceless
A pic... of a Prick's...prick?
A pic of a Prick's prickly prick!
ICK!
Goes without saying. 🙈
Well... both I assume.
To All-😂🤣😂🤣😂
BOTH!
A little of both!
A prickly prick

Uh, for thoss upvoting this while ignoring the "bring free speech back to c&c" comment just below it, I think there may be a bigger picture at play here, with a lot more at stake... Just thinking out loud.
Jayson--is Childers permitting AI to 'rank' our Comments now? I just found out my Comment from today is being 'grayed out' and 'buried' so most people cannot see it.

Substack is changing in all the wrong ways, we cannot go along with it.
TriTorch, are you saying that by disabling content moderation, the Substack author is subjected to shadow banning on the platform? I queried ChatGPT and gleaned the following. My prompt specifically required statements of facts only, with full neutrality (no bias):
"Based on publicly available information, here are the facts:
What is Substack’s content moderation policy?
Substack has had content moderation policies since its early years. It publicly described its approach in 2020 as “hands-off” or “decentralized moderation.” The company stated that it generally favors broad freedom of expression while prohibiting specific categories such as spam, harassment, doxxing, certain illegal content, and some forms of pornography. 
When was content moderation implemented?
Content moderation was not newly introduced in 2025 or 2026. Substack publicly documented moderation policies by December 2020, and enforcement mechanisms existed before then. 
Were authors notified when moderation was enabled?
I could not find evidence that Substack recently enabled a new platform-wide moderation system affecting all authors without notice. Substack regularly updates policies and features, but there is no public evidence that a major moderation system was secretly activated across the platform. 
What content is moderated?
Substack states it may act against content involving:
* Spam
* Harassment
* Doxxing
* Certain illegal content
* Copyright violations
* Some sexually explicit content
* Certain content restricted by laws in specific jurisdictions (for example, UK Online Safety Act requirements) 
If moderation is disabled, does it affect discoverability?
There is no public evidence that turning off a publication’s moderation settings automatically reduces search ranking, visibility, or discoverability. Search visibility on Substack appears to depend on multiple factors, including publication settings, recommendations, subscriber growth, and platform search behavior. 
Who decided to implement moderation?
Substack’s moderation policies are set by Substack management and ownership as part of the platform’s Terms of Use and Content Guidelines. They are private-company policies. Some moderation requirements also arise from legal obligations in various countries. 
Has Substack ownership or its board recently changed?
I found no evidence of a recent ownership change or board takeover that coincided with a new moderation policy. Substack remains led by its founders, including Chris Best and Hamish McKenzie. I found no evidence that a new controlling owner recently imposed a moderation shift. 
Is there evidence that an outside funder is paying Substack to censor content?
I found no factual evidence that a government, corporation, donor, investor, or other outside party is providing funds to persuade Substack to increase censorship. Public reporting discusses criticism of Substack from various groups, but I found no verified evidence of such a funding arrangement. 
Bottom line
The available evidence indicates that Substack has used content moderation for years, but generally follows a lighter-touch approach than many large social platforms. The company continues to remove or restrict certain categories of content while allowing a broad range of lawful political and cultural speech. There is no publicly verified evidence of a recent ownership change or outside funding campaign that caused a major shift toward censorship. "
And this one isn’t yet! It’s up with the rest to see. The ai crawler hasn’t found it yet 🤣
I am in Tasmania. Australia passed a law so that children under 16 can't get on social media sites. I can get on Facebook, Twitter, et al, but am blocked from Substack unless I provide biometrics to Australia monitors, including a photo or video of me. I have so far managed a workaround with US wifi, but I wonder why it is only Substack? I have found that the site has degraded, I don't like the constant push to the app or the daily (or MORE) emails from the monetized writers. I have tried to unsubscribe to one particularly frequent one, but it still arrives like clockwork. Sad, because I really enjoy the ease of creating here. My 90 year old father loves the photos and stories of my Tasmanian move, so I will continue to use the platform for now. It’s sort of turning into YouTube with those scary titles on the medical ones. Rant over. (None too soon, right?)
Fraulein, agree, Substack is going full tilt in the wrong direction and it is very disheartening. Thanks for looking out for your father and keeping him engaged with your adventures, doubless these efforts mean the world to him. Best to you and yours.
Thank you! Yes, the only down side - and it's a big one - is being so far away from family. I try to get home at least once a year, twice if there's a wedding, but jet lag is a PAIN. Oh, forgot the other big down side, no Constitutional protections. Who knew I would miss the right to bear arms and guaranteed free speech so much? ;) Thank goodness for C & C and his reader comment section. (In case you are wondering why I ended up here, Herr Zen is from NZ. Australia is our compromise location. At least they like Americans more than their Kiwi counterparts! )
about 3-4 days ago this weird feature appeared, not in other substacks I’ve seen though. WTH?
I first noticed that I was unable to "like" comments. Then I noticed the rest
Seems to be popping up in multiple places and where you might least expect it.... I challenged a Tucker Carlson post and have had what can only be called "Censorship" results on the information shared to debunk both his claims and various conspiracy theorists following his lead.
Could be all comments generating from AI factory.
I spit my coffee out on “bloated arachnid”. I can never look at him the same again it was such a perfect descriptor 😆🤣
But then I got the cactus bonus. 🤣🤣🤣
He got me on "poorly groomed garden gnome." 😛
and: . . ."his Achiles' groin" to finish it off. :)
It was the perfect happy ending.
It’s hidden as Sensitive Content on Truth! 🤣🤣🤣 I was afraid to see 🫣 Wondered if he’d been hacked! LOL
I know, kinda funny but I hope everyone will cursor down to Tri Torch's post on the Auto Censorship issue we are now facing on SS. Its a far more important issue than the cactus dick pic. Upvote Tri Torch's post now! Lets get the answer from Jeff Childers.
Also, Please consider removing (un-selecting) your upvote on McCarthy's comment so we can all push Tri's comment to the top.
It certainly explains why Ms. Lee turned Hotez down!
I liked the “Achilles’ groin” turn of phrase. Also prize-worthy!
BINGO! Jeff is the MASTER of 'Paint By Word' pictures! No brush required!
Almost spit out my coffee.
Ah, Jenna. I can only see The Abominable Snowman from Santa Claus is Coming to Town when I see Hotez's photo. Thanks.! It is uncanny the resemblance. But the snow monster is redeemable and didn't go dragging around a giant prescription erection trying to jab everyone in sight.
LingOL that's one of my faves, too! In case anyone else would like to enjoy: https://jennasside.rocks/p/the-deadly-rise-of-science

I can’t stop laughing at that picture. 😆😆😆 You nailed it two years ago!!
Hahaha! It's the teeth that really make the striking likeness.
I had a cruel algebra teacher in high school named Mr Beers that looked exactly like the Heat Miser.
That's awesome, Jenna! 😁
"P-Ho" !!!
😉🩷😂
Too funny!!!! 🤣😆
Yes, Bumbles bounce! 😆 I don’t think Hotezes do 😛
Bumbles bounce?…..we may have watched the same Christmas specials during the holidays 🤣
That sounds like a distinct possibility 😁
You mean the “French stickler”?
ba-dum shhhh
Achilles groin… Need he say more?😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
All of these cocktus jokes… cactus… cactus jokes…. Y’all…. Hysterical. It’s why this is the BEST Substack
It's like middle school again here. 😂😂😂😝
That was a spit take! Oh my!
Right??? That PICTURE!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣
R-Rated!!
🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵
All, Substack's new 'Auto-Moderation' censorship is still enabled on C&C so let's try to get Jeff's attention so he will disable it:
If you count yourself uninterested in some random "AI" algorithm first reading then capriciously concealing your and others' words here, upvote this post and reply to it with, "No Auto-Moderate", plus your reasons for why.

We have always had the option to choose for ourselves who we don’t want to be exposed to, and each of us has a different standard level for making those choices for ourselves. I don’t like anyone making it for me, ai or not. No one-size-fits-all solution exists. It needs to be each individual’s choice.
The other day when I was scrolling through comments, I thought what happened to all the trolls? Did they move on? Oh yeah, I forgot I figured out how to block them! The start of my day has been much calmer. 😄
Same!
😎
Amen
It still is! Each hidden comment has a button to 'unhide' sed comment. I see them and tap on them if I choose to, or have time to explore the rabbit hole further.
I agree, well said!
Yep. I’ve suspected I’ve been shadow banned for quite some time.
I was the third comment here and it’s hidden
I’ve updated the settings on my stack
Not only hidden, for the first time Ever, I cannot "Like" certain posts/replies. Very odd.
Everything is odd these days
Yeah. Had to shut down a checking account and start anew recently. I have found it to be virtually impossible to speak with a human being at a business now. I gave up on one insurance company, ( I think an accident
policy that I’ve probably paid into for decades and can’t find the paperwork and don’t have a policy #), when I couldn’t get through the online gatekeeper or the phone # gatekeeper.
I actually wrote them a letter saying either a live human being fixes this, or the policy expires! I don’t care anymore.
Since every time I call a business #, I hear “We are experiencing an unusually high number of calls…” I have to assume I’m not the only one stymied by the merciless AI gatekeepers.
Same here! Drives me insane.
<start rant>
I spent ONE HOUR on the phone today trying to get a bank to fix its (still) broken money transfer credential verification issue that none of the techs I spoke to were aware of.
This was after spending 40 minutes on the same issue a weeks ago (and being promised it's been fixed). I literally had to hold another 15 minutes for a supervisor, who actually looked into it, unlike the gal who said, "We use a third party for that part, so we can't fix it."
My problem with all of the mandatory apps we have to use just to function is that they are developed by humans, and humans don't always get it right.
Who pays? The consumer who spends too much time clicking through phone menus to get to a "support" tech who doesn't know squat. I want my free time back!
<end rant>
I called my home bank because they merged and, without warning, went to a two tier verification system texting a one time code to the phone number on file when I opened the account ten years ago. I live in Tasmania now and had to cut that phone off. I called to update it - since I couldn't get in to website to update - and their AI, Jake (!?!?) just kept reading things off the web page when he wasn't texting my defunct phone with a code. I called back, same issue. The third time I called through, I craftily lied and said I couldn't get a deposit to go into my account. Instantly, human on the line. This has worked at other businesses. If it affects their bottom line, you sometimes get through. When I finally get a real human, I explain that I don't call unless its something I can't find on their web page, and having AI read the web page FAQ is less than helpful. Ugh.
Technology definitely does not save time or effort.
I could have added to my post that if you do get a human being and explain for the twelfth time what issue you’re having, they will probably say they can’t fix the issue, you have to go back to the mobile app that just failed you.
If they’re try to get rid of the elderly by having us all stroke out from frustration, they may succeed.
Well, I was able to "like" this comment! Should be a T-shirt.
Or at least a tiny potted cactus.
I can only leave a few ❤️s and then I must exit, and start over looking at comments. THIS IS DO FRUSTRATING
I keep finding myself back at the beginning. I used to be able to follow threads, back up to the first comment in the thread, and then continue on. Now I suddenly find myself shunted back to the first page with the 2 highlighted comments and the link to see all the rest of the comments. Totally frustrating. Anyone else having this problem?
Also, the like button only works sporadically and the back arrows don’t always work. What’s going on here?
I randomly have had all of those issues at various times over the past couple of years.
It's been that way for me since the beginning. Especially if I click on a link. I don't have the app though bc my phone doesn't have enough memory for another app so just get the emails and then open in the duck browser.
Yup. I've had similar issues the past several days.
Me too. I thought I was doing something wrong.
Same here.
Yes that started a couple weeks before the hiding. Frustrating
I had that problem. I went back to the article, then back into the comments so they’d reload and then it worked.
Ditto. In effect, you reboot the stack.
Hmmm .. makes me wonder if the Gods of Substack are now running the app in Windows 11.
Same
I used to have that problem. It was resolved when I “updated “ my iPad,which I am always loath to do…
There are currently as of 9:43 am pst 13 replies to your comment hidden.
I have noticed that too!
OK--I'm on Substack - what Setting do I have to change, Laura?
The irony here is David Nelson ? gave an excellent tutorial for that but it’s under hidden comments. 😆🤣 Look for it.
Sharon - I believe this is only an issue if you are an author on Substack.
Not really - I read TriTorch's Comment on how to turn "off" Self Moderate and did that on the Settings page of my Substack page (I believe I did originally subscribe as an Author prior to getting on the C & C Group - this was at least 4 1/2 years ago...so not quite sure about the details and timing.
Request an answer from you Jeff Childers. Certainly you do not approve of the new algorithmic auto censorship policy on SS and will "untoggle" it on C&C? Thank you.
I believe J. C. is too busy now to bother - so he's allowing the AI to do the 'job' for him as far as the Comments section is concerned--very disconcerting and it smacks on censorship--which is why I UNsub'ed from Facepoop after 12 years in 2021.
I don’t think he chose to do that purposefully. We think he is unaware that it rolled out active automatically and needs manual intervention to turn it off. Many authors will be unaware.
Yeah I’m guessing they sneaked it in and some (Berenson for example) noticed it more quickly than others. I think Jeff is pretty busy and may not pay a huge amount of attention to anything Substack beyond his writing and sometimes, the comments.
I say no to auto-moderation.
But it is nice side effect to have the spiciest comments gathered into one spot. That said, I'd rather it didn't for free speech.
Me too!
No Auto-Moderate
Censored speech is not free speech.
Thank you TriTorch!!
Up to this point today, I count 13 "hidden" comments so far!
As "The Alien" would say, "This is some bullshit!"
Great hat tip to a great show 🤣
Well, I just counted all the "hidden" comments: as of now, 71 total. When SS say "17 hidden", it means 17 threads hidden.
Folks, Welcome to Amerika of the USSA. Trump is not a time machine. We are not going back to what we were..... This will continue to play out until the whole edifice collapses.
Well it’s not Trump’s fault. This type of infrastructure with social media was already built by the democrats and the deep state years ago. They are hanging on tight.
Love that show!!! Ha ha…ha.. ha ha
No Auto Moderate.
Only you should be able to set the moderation parameters.
I don’t want a robot deciding what I should and shouldn’t read! I want to access to the thoughts of beautiful flawed humans, whether I agree or not. That’s what block is for!
Humans unite. No AI censorship
Besides that, some of us like to respond to the jerks!
No Auto-Moderation.
I would prefer to see the "AI" algorithm "turned outward": "First remove the beam(s) from the eyes of our government overlords--which will occupy you for some years--before returning to this little idyll to worry yourself about motes."
Great response!!!
I'm seeing a grayed out "2 replies hidden" message that I've not seen before. They both can be viewed.
It's a new censorship policy that was enabled by default accross substack last week:
"Reply Rules automatically hide comments and note replies that break your community standards — without deleting them or notifying the commenter."
Jeff can disable it on C&C. You can learn more about it in this thread: https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/conga-lines-friday-june-5-2026-c/comment/271101944
In case you haven’t noticed, Flock Safety has contracted with law agencies to install AI powered cameras across the entire US. They are in our county at every entry and exit point. They are supposedly to capture license plates, but have the ability to do more, including object, vehicle, and facial recognition, behavior and crowd analysis, detect audio, and even potentially integrate with other devices. You can view the cameras at maps.deflock.org. These cameras can track you across the US. How creepy is that? They have constructed a digital prison around us. Please contact every public official you know and demand they cancel their contract and get rid of the Flock cameras. As Edward Snowden said, “Arguing that you don't care about privacy because you have nothing to hide is like arguing that you don't care about free speech because you have nothing to say.”
They always tell you the reason for controlling you is "public safety". Remember the COVID-mania excuses?
It is the supposedly kind and jolly Pied Piper who must be leading you to good places. But actually, he is leading the naive children over a cliff.
Oldest trick in the book.
This is what AI is really about. It will make the constitutional government simply irrelevant.
England has these cameras everywhere too. Has for many years. Bad news.
That is how they charge you pounds for traveling in certain places as well. I always though 'meh, they are keeping the congestion down around London'. That was 15 years ago. Yeah...no. Welcome to The Matrix.
Yes, indeed, SadieJay. Nothing is by happenstance. And nothing is out of the goodness of their shrivelled little hearts.
So presumably this is sanctioned under Trump, right?
Watch the movie Shelter. If the movie is accurate there is NO privacy in the UK.
I've been watching Katie Hopkins in the UK on YT. Let's all pray that what is happening there doesn't cross the pond.
Very interesting-my whole city has no cameras. It’s surrounded but none in city limits.
Do you live in a Dem controlled city? Ironically, from what I’ve read online, the Dems are rejecting the cameras out of concern they will be used by ICE to find illegal immigrants or identify protestors.
Yes. I do. State controlled too. But,according to the link above http://maps.deflock.org , it’s everywhere around my city but not in mine. Weird.
Are you certain of that? They do have a way to hide them.
No-I just looked on the map provided by someone else in the conversation. I can’t locate the link now!
I was ‘grayed out’ because I criticized our Governor for making Ivermectin unavailable in KY by threatening pharmacists and doctors .
Yet, a substack that used the ‘N’ word in its title, was free to do so. Had I used that word in a comment it would have been ‘hidden’.
It all has to do with the 'bent' of the engineers who construct the AI used on ANY platform - be it here or around the globe!
That is why, queries must be carefully worded and specified as to using both Liberal and Conservative sources. Then, you query for a deeper dive and suggest STUDIES and DATA dating back to the previous Century id necessary.
Sounds 'reasonable' in theory - but is it actually being implemented in PRACTICE of the AI engineering, Lisa?
I was with a group that discussed 'Water Issues', in my State, that is one of the ways to control production and insure SCARCITY for the people of the STATE, because with feared scarcity, we get hoarding of basic necessities like flour and TP. But I digress. So this group communicated via Face Book, so naturally as we grew in membership, intelligent researcher and gained retired Hydraulic Engineers, Ranchers, Farmers and even a few Politicians, we were naturally censored. Through that censorship, we became very creative about how we spelled certain BUZZ words that would set off the censors bots and get us put in FB Jail or unleash the cloak of shame, shadow banning.
An example of creative spelling, ....Klimate Ch4nj*.
I guess my argument would be (in ALL CAPS-screaming into the void) BUT WE SHOULDNT HAVE TO DO THAT!!!!!!
Bingo! No matter what!
Later Jay
Oh geesh - well if that 'works' for you--have at it, Lisa! You could also use igpay atinlay--LOL!!
I’m going to try the igpay-atinlay, Sharon!!😂
I think you meant "igpay atinlay - OLolay"? :)
Thanks for the like on my post re: ivermectin. And more importantly thanks for letting us know our comments are being hidden! That is absolutely horrifying! Apparently only those who create substack columns can hide comments or not, us lowly commenters don't have that privilege. This is against the 1st amendment of freedom of speech! Maybe a class action lawsuit is in order?
Ill sign that class action!
Good to see you, TriTorch! How are you doing, hope you are OK?
Good to see you too, and thank you, E. Alas, if I were OK i woudn’t be here, not because I don’ t want to be, the privilege is mine.
How are you faring, is everything good where you are and with your family?
You can also set your own standards, as the writer of a blog. I just unchecked the auto-hide moderator and didn't even click on the WHAT I could hide button.
I just saw "11 replies hidden". grrrrr
Now it’s 38
It's the new Substack censorship that Jeff has been happily going along with. Took him a long time to finally say No to it.
Jeff writes whatever sells at the time. And runs his Substack that way too. That is the truth of the matter. He is just like most other popular Substack hosts bringing in lucrative revenue from this. If the perspective changes in the Substack company, so will they. As it has. See the Alex Berenson article today.
At this time, there are 10 responses hidden. They are greyed-out, you can respond to them, but your response is greyed-out and hidden. Never noticed this before. Glanced through them, and they don't deserve to be hidden...
I prefer to moderate my own content, thank you very much. The reasons Substack hides contents and the reasons I hide contents are leagues apart.
🎯🎯🎯
That’s a lot of hidden comments! I read them and found nothing offensive.
No auto-moderate! 🤬
No Auto-Moderate!
Please, no auto-moderating.
What is the next plot twist in the California election fraud? Communists burned down Spencer Pratt’s house. Now they are stealing an election from him: https://yuribezmenov.substack.com/p/spencer-pratt-hummingbird
If Hilton and or Pratt are eliminated, California is lost. The DOJ, SCOTUS and the President must take action. Congress will never pass the Save Act. Fraudulent Elections = License to Loot and Destroy America.
Please tell me we’re at the point where it will not be left to stand! This has got to be spotlighted to End it for all time!
No. WE must take action. Unambiguous action. Or do we wait around until they come to our door to take us?
Nah just let CA sink in their own cesspool.
I feel bad for the normal people who live in California.
It is not always possible for people to leave especially if they own a farm, a business, or have family obligations.
By normal Californians', do you mean those of us born here before the Tech Boom ushed in Democrat voters from all over the world and the Eastern Seaboard States that once gave rise to the Country, but now just Grift in the name of "CARING"?
I mean normal people who go to work everyday and provide for their families.
Voting your way out of Communism rarely works.
That philosophy is a slippery slope. How much of America are you willing to give up?
Jeff wrote about this the other day. Sometimes the only way to get real change is to let the residents experience the natural consequences.
Completely agree, Steenroid. There’s something to be said for the natural consequences. As Jeff wrote the other day, maybe it’s time to stop trying to push the boulder uphill and let it careen downhill and destroy everything in its path. Maybe LA hasn’t hit rock bottom yet? Maybe CA in general hasn’t.
Not really. Everyone with half a brain will move out. And the rest of America will send its most profligate citizens to California. I say it's a win/win.
Not really? You move away from your grandkids, friends and neighbors, and a business that employs 100 people, as well as a 93 year old mother who couldn't take the move. We live in a Republican district, with a sheriff that fought for us during COVID. It IS hard to pack up and leave from our home we've lived in since 1983, when Republican George Deukmejian was governor . . . not that I haven't thought long and hard of it!
I understand, LHuff8, as I am in a similar situation. About four years ago we built a house in OK where we live part time. The house is there for us when the time comes though. The election fraud in the LA mayoral race is so egregious and brazenly obvious that I really hope lawsuits have been filed. We’ll see about the governor’s race.
I can't imagine being conservative and living in California. Bless you for your courage!
The rabble rousers and squeaky wheels viewed on Television and the Socials is primarily in the larger Cities and in commuter choke points like the Bay Bridge or Downtown LA. The Republican voters live in the suburbs or in the country, where they either keep their heads down or have land.
Most Republican voters prefer to go about their lives and work undisturbed. Many homeschool or send their children to private schools with the Indian Kids! (kids who parents are from India, not the reservation or the Casino owning kind).
I feel badly for the folks who can't afford to move. I need to add Californians to my prayer list.
They already sent their worst actors to California! We were invaded in the late 1960's by the Flower Children and Serial Killers. Then in late 1970's by the Boat people, watch your cats and dogs carefully. And boys no longer need apply for jobs distributing the local paper! Those now go to the immigrant du jour! In the 1980's we were invaded with Tech Workers who got rich quick and began voting Democrat to assuage their new found guilt! The 1990's saw the second wave of Chinese and European Tech workers and the flood gates open for the H1B Visas for a mass invasion of Indians! Which culminated in entire neighborhoods, then cities, then School Districts becoming 95% Asian! I kid you not!
Last year I found out that my SF Bay Area School District now gives 2 'FREE' lunches per week to all students! The kids who were touting this wonder were the children of a Google Engineer, who drives a Tesla and owns 2 homes! I kid you not! I think all of America should be appalled, because this money is likely a GRIFT of the FEDERAL SNAP program. California does have a clear track record robbing other States to further their agenda!
The taxes would be enough to drive me out.
Everyone here in Cali that voted for Hilton if they succeed in taking him out should write him in in Nov. There's no way I'm voting for a Democrat. If enough of us do that, let's see if they would even bother to count Hilton votes.
SCOTUS will fold and give it the “no standing” BS!!!!
I read that Councilwoman Whatshername, the one allegedly ahead of Pratt, got 24% of the first 64% of ballots, but then 40% of the next 25% or something like that. We're talking 100s of thousands of ballots in each tranche. "Late surge by Progressives" is the reason given...BS!
Statistically more likely to win the Powerball 489 times in a row or get a coherent statement from Joe Biden or Kamala Harris.
Those "late surges" by progressives are 100% predictable in all three Left Coast states elections. The uniparty (democrat) status of CA, OR, and WA are black holes that will continue to rot in their neo-marxist cauldrons of graft and ineptitude as long as they are the ones counting the votes.
Bingo!
Right, it is just Raman who is surging, not Bass. That makes it particularly unbelievable.
Skeptical Actuary - I'll bet you've already tallied up the odds of her surge in ballots.
As I have said many times before, Congress is broken! There are very few who will even stand up and try to do something about the fraud. The majority are spineless and self-seeking. All they care about is their pension and any kick backs that might come their way. I believe that we, the American people need to inundate our leaders until they are so tired of hearing from us that they will give an attempt to right this ship. In Luke 18:1-8, we are given a parable of an unrighteous judge and a widow. The widow kept going to the judge for legal protection. The judge finally relented he said that although he did not fear God nor respect man, he would give the widow protection so that she would not wear him out. I believe that is what the citizenry may need to do??????
Unqualified pension + medical benefits for life for a few years' "service" under zero performance supervision is attractive. But for those who fail to perform their duties, there is little recourse.
Pensions should be earned.
We were told in the drops that we needed to watch California for election fraud evidence. I think they’re tracking the fraud there, but mainly it’s a wake up call for the normies. Sometimes you can’t just tell the people, you have to show them.

California is a state in this United States Union! WHY should the Left Marxists be left to destroy this state and dump all the citizenry (that can escape) on the other 49?! STOP THE CHEATING! Have a ONE day election! NO online voting (there are people from Pakistan voting online! In a California election! Fact!) there is no accountability!
REQUIRED verified ID to vote!
And surely an algorithm can detect if a vote has been placed so it cannot be done twice!
With all the tech we have today? STOP THE CHEATING!
The mail in ballots and ballot harvesting are the issue. They go to phony addresses or places where people no longer live and the harvesters pick them up and they get voted.
https://jovanhuttonpulitzer.locals.com/upost/7986616/7-am-cst-california-perfect-the-time-hack-steal-see-hear-the-facts-of-how-it-wasnt-the-machines
The machines are a major part of the steal. Mail in ballots are another part.
True. However, the rules for using machines are *voluntary thus breaking them results in misdemeanors.
The laws for tampering with ballots have felony charges.
Jovan explains this and other distinctions.
https://jovanhuttonpulitzer.locals.com/upost/7987708/thebigcon
Florida does it just fine!
Same here in Georgia. Every day I thank God for landing me in the great state of GA instead of CA, MN, or NY.
Maybe all of these new data centers are being built to help with election integrity. Well, we can dream!!
https://jovanhuttonpulitzer.locals.com/upost/7987708/thebigcon
It’s all about the mail in ballots. That’s the issue. Not ID. That’s where the steal comes from. Same day in person elections are the only way the Dem’s can’t cheat.
Nick Shirley found a 126-year old (DOB 01/01/1900) who'd voted in numerous CA elections. This is proof the system has no oversight. How many more are there?

All fraud by the uniparty if not using paper ballots.
No! In California, it is the Democrat Party! They have total control over nearly every Government office in the State, down to and including the School Districts! Truly, they have managed by hook and often by crook to slide their people in. Sometimes they have people run in traditionally Republican Districts, pretending to be Conservatives, but when in office, they vote with the Dem's.
George Soros dumped money into DEI, soft on crime, so called "Justice" candidates for District Attorney positions in our major cities and also backed ballot initiatives created more crime and made our jails a revolving door and demoralized our Law Enforcement officers!
These are Global Initiatives, backed by Foreign ( illegal) money, designed to turn destroy and gain control of our vast natural resources and bleed the taxpayer dry while buying up land for pennies on the dollar!

Since we are on the topic of Substack censorship, Yuri -- do YOU use this shadow-banning censorship tool on your Substack? Maybe so, maybe not.
After all you are one of the Substack hosts who preaches freedom and democracy, but who banned me once.
I can't speak for Yuri, but I have banned people for being abusive. I don't ban people for presenting contrary opinions.
I'd let me people call me an idiot or racist once or twice, but not much more. I don't let people call me names much worse than that.

Amen! Thank you for this post, Janice. Blessings to you and yours.
Sounds a bit like Revelation doesn't it?
"Reckoning"? I'm not so sure.
Fauci is still walking free.
Cuomo was never prosecuted for his nursing home manslaughter.
Baric and Hotez, same. Others, same.
Yes, I get it, it takes time, but time is not something we have. If we lose the midterms, this all gets memory holed. Trump will have higher priorities, like defending against new impeachments. Would the four RINOs who just voted against SAVE vote for Trump's conviction? I would not put it past them.
If five lawyers take 3 years to put together a case, can 50 lawyers do it in 3 months? I appreciate that math may not work quite that way, but it's been 6 years now since the reveal of this crime against humanity.
I do not have your patience, Jeff, or your optimism, confidence that a "Reckoning" is underway.
I can't believe the 4 rinos voted against the Save Act. Wolves in sheeps clothing.
Not surprising at all! These four senators are the most known of quanities:
McConnell - leaving in January, and hates Trump
Tillis - same
Murkowsky - always been a problem, somehow AK keeps electing her.
Collins - Maine should be expected to have a Dem senator but she is able to survive in that blue place against all odds. She gets a pass to vote against Rs as needed.
The Four "F"ers. That is what I call them. Who in their right mind does not want legal, safe, honest and citizen verified voting. They disgust me. We the people want it and they are telling us, the ones who pay their benes, salaries to "F" ourselves. They piss me off to no end. They hate America and that pisses me off even more. When they all drop dead and hopefully I am still alive, I will add them to the list of graves I am pissing on.
Do not forget Bill Gates, who is not only walking free, but still scheming his mass murder plots.
Why is he allowed to strew ticks over farmland and release mosquitoes into the South?
Mrs. RW
Gates is both nauseating and dangerous… I simply cannot listen to him or watch him. I don’t get his whole thing.. only possibility is that he has become pure evil and then of course thinks he’s God. As a side note I was unable to like your comment. Others seemed to work…will keep investigating. I believe Gates is on trial in The Netherlands or some such place.. not holding my breath.
Exactly, Mrs. RW. Apparently there’s $600 million(!)appropriated to GAVI for 2025 and 2026 in the US budget. The only bright spot is that the money has not been released as of yet. Not sure why, but some people are fighting its release I hope.
I waiver at times
Same here. Then I remind myself that God has a Plan. Whatever you do, don't pray for patience!! :-)
I did that once…my friend laughed and told me to get ready to receive it. God answered with many subsequent opportunities to use His gift of patience. Still with me! 😂
He always puts that prayer on repeat. 😅
One thing I’ve been thinking is how some criticism makes losing the midterms the end-all be-all … and I do get it - they will make changes that converts our system to match CA and we would never be able to vote our way out of it. But they DO have to have the executive branch too and they won’t after midterms.
However, there is still a possibility that they get control and we take it back two years later regardless of their corrupt efforts. Maybe we need the circus to become that much more obnoxious, obvious, and painful to wake the rest of the people up and then 2028 goes to the Republicans again.
All I’m trying to say is we need to vote midterms like it is the end of it all, but not lose our head or hope if we lose.
I agree, losing 2026 not the end of the world
Lose House: no hope of any legislation and mainly very high likelihood of impeachment (without removal), sucking much attention and energy away from Trump Admin
Lose Senate: no good judges or Cabinet officials will be able to get approved. Big problem if a SC vacancy comes up.
Either would be bad, but not as bad as if a D gets president in 28. Especially if they/them has the House and Senate.
Wise advice, my friend. Keep the hope!
Excellent comment!!! I concur.
Juju, did you hear, Warner Mendenhall just passed. The IMA just posted about it.
No I did not. I was unfamiliar with who he is and had to look him up. What cases is he most known for among the awake
I believe he was representing Brook Jackson.
With C&C this morning, now we all know the sadness Juju.
Yes! Now I remember who he is. Thank you! And reading today C&C now … it’s such a heartbreaking loss 😞
It didn’t take much time to get the J6’ers and Tina Peters charged and imprisoned. It’s 2026 for crying out loud!
I agree with your frustration. But what’s different is they had the full help of the opposing party, the prosecutors. DOJ, judges, et al. In that kind of supporting environment lacking real opposition things move fast.
We have a different set of circumstances, where every step and breath gets a motion filed or a lawsuit. We have nothing but opposition from the opposing party as well as quite a few of our own. They cannot prosecute the way they should be able to because of corrupt judiciary. When you have to build the case differently to outsmart such forces, it takes a lot longer. A LOT.
Jeff, Please tell us what is up with these random blurred comments!?! Can I say, I am aghast that we're going to be censored here after everything we've been through since 2020! Ugh! I hated the forced switch over from Gmail to Substack but never said anything just because... I could edit my comments there but on SS, I've not yet figured out how.... Is this something you can do nothing about so we're stuck with this new censoring? Please address this crapola! If we're going this route here, are we headed to X, as they don't mess with us...
Thanks
We must continue to pray daily for President Trump, his family and the entire administration. If SCOTUS ruling on the ballots in the MS case is settled this month like predicted and it's in our favor, all hell will break loose. Do they declare the CA primary unconstitutional? God Bless America!
Interesting Beckadee. Don’t other states, besides CA and DC allow counting of ballots received after election day? Aren’t there seven of them or something similar? Yes, CA would have to change its rules but potentially only for federal elections? It wouldn’t be retroactive though would it? It will be interesting to read this one. Jeff will analyze this for us when it comes out, thankfully.
California allows the longest time to certify of any state or territory. When I looked last year when special election, it was 30 days after Election Day (ED). Recently I read something I haven’t verified saying that a new law whittled that period to 15 days…
So:
limitless no-guard-rails mail-in ballots;
unlimited ballot harvesting;
voter rolls from which individuals are rarely removed;
accept ballots postmarked by ED for a full 7 days after ED;
no voter OD required at any stage of the process;
motor+voter registration not matched between SoS and DMV; and,
15 or 30 days to certify the slowest counting in the western world (state public schools graduate illiterate students).
Pretty good blueprint for the steal.
Add this: non-functional opposition in the form of GOP.
I can definitely attest to no id requirements as I am registered to vote in CA and anyone can walk into a polling place and vote. There used to be assignments but not anymore. Apparently the state of WA allows ballots to be counted nine days after election day. New York allows seven days like CA.

Watson being the SOS of Mississippi.
That will never happen.
Having worked most of my 4 careers where I was the only woman in the room on the level I was, I can tell you that "men who can't keep their pants zipped" is a huge problem. (Yes, there are also women with it, but if you go to a Domestic violence case, odds are the woman is the victim)
The race is not necessarily won by the swift nor the fight to the strong, but that's the way to bet.
A guy in our neighborhood tried to break up with his predator (seriously) girlfriend in January. Nice guy. Seriously wounded vet. Older, lonely...she found him and I'm guessing brought a viagra dispenser to dispense the things like Tick tacs. He wanted to break up. She staged a DV (domestic violence) - even the police knew it was phony, but the laws favored her. She stayed living in his house for 6 months. Just got evicted by the Sheriff Dept. They had 4 guys there because they wanted a ton of witnesses. WHAT did this cost him in money and grief? His son in law a PO told him to keep his pants zipped. I will remind him of that when he gets back into his home. (She is a full blown mental case).
If our officials could "keep their pants zipped," then the opposition wouldn't have anything on them and they could do their jobs.
Those who live honorably don't have to worry about such things. Those who are not honorable are generally easy targets once someone who is in the "I don't care" club goes after them.
Lesson for people around me....don't do anything around me that you don't want known. I'm the president of the "I don't care" club. I vowed and taught in the police academy that I was not going to jail for what anyone else did. So, don't do stuff like that in front of me.
Street justice is beautiful. Hotez? How much money do you have? Send it to Dr. Lee.
Remember- street justice is true justice. Just ask Hilary. She can't get invited to a dog catcher's convention. Obama is finding that out. Takes longer than we like.
Always also remember there is "God's time and Our time." One has a longer time frame than the other. One is more permanent.
Love your comment! Yes trust in God for justice will come.
Wow, yours is the second reference today to Luke 18:1-8. Specifically, check out v. 6-8:
"And the Lord said, “Hear what the unrighteous judge said; now, will not God bring about justice for His elect who cry to Him day and night, and will He delay long over them? I tell you that He will bring about justice for them quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth?”"
Never stop praying. 🙏🏼
Very well said, C. Wilson! Yes it does take longer than we would like to see the results of street justice. It seems to me that Baylor needs to at the very least, put Hotez on administrative leave pending investigation. Is Lee’s claim harassment or wrongful termination or both?
It would seem that Ms Lee must have been concerned enough about Dr Hotez that she kept his most damning texts rather than deleting them. Instructively most all the trophy bucks are killed while in rut or being driven from cover. Clinton, Cuomo, Epstein, Lord Monteblanc, Prince Andrew, Delorean, Woods, Spitzer, Hart and even Mark Antony- the list of trophies who got their lust ahead of their survival instincts is legendary. It also seems all of them made it worse by their responses to the exposure.
Bingo! I was at a political fundraising lunch for Rudy Giuliana, years ago, (he was testing the Presidential waters with a speaking tour), Seated at my table was an arrogant political strategist ( that I later saw on Fox a few times), we were conversing about Bill Clinton and he was trying to convince me that Bill was brilliant. Well, my answer for him, was, that Clinton might be considered brilliant at politics, but he is stupid about everything important!
Stupid because, even at his age, he has not mastered basic self-control and setting priorities! He still prioritizes his penis above all else in his life. Above his marriage, above his child and above his very important jobs! He is in effect, no smarter, nor worthy of trust than a PUBESCENT BOY!
Serial rapist.
Yup I feel the same way about Clinton 😡😝 He’s such a slimeball 😡
Difference is, trophy bucks deserve to live while the ones you named do not.
That’s an interesting take. It’s unclear if you’re suggesting we murder them and turn cannibals to consume their human flesh as we are legally required to make use of the elk and deer we kill. Or, perhaps to you humans are less deserving of life than deer having turned thoughtless due to a raging hard-on.
In either case, I do enjoy game meat. It is uniquely the perfect combination of Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids:
Wild deer, elk, antelope, bison, and other free-ranging herbivores often have ratios near 2:1 to 4:1.
Modern grain-fed beef may range from 7:1 to 20:1 or higher.
Grain-fed poultry and pork can be even more omega-6 dominant.
I credit a lifetime of great health to the consumption of what I kill. You simply can’t get it anywhere else nor will your supplements make up for your plastic/ chemical derived nutrients.
Thanks for the reminder as I am now celebrating the passing of the midpoint of the 3rd anniversary of my 29th birthday and making ready for another great year in the woods.

Please make this a "Sticky" on the top; your adoring fans will want to know "C&C Clamor" works on Jeff too. ;^) (And they'll want some place to go to light a candle for your taking heed of us.)
Thank you again Jeff!!! We appreciate your listening to all of us subscribers!!
Your link didn't work for me.
Where I found what you're referring to is under Settings, Publisher's dashboard--scroll down.
Thanks for the other details. 😺
You didn't happen to notice the URL of the page which actually had the settings did you? I'm curious how it could have differed because the only thing I changed was to delete my stack's identifier.
Was quickly scanning. It didn't land where your link went, but it was on Substack. I'm on Brave.
Oh there are only a few people I loathe more than Fauci and Hotez is one of them
Hotez, Fauci and Baric are just a nasty nest of cockroaches that have somehow managed to escape accountability, but looks like Hotez's "luck" is about to run out! Couldn't happen to a "nicer" guy!
Jeff Childers, please address these "hidden replies" in the comments. This is total BS.
You needed one more thing today...a bow tie on that cactus weenie!
Gain of Function was performed on Hotez’s lobido. Cialis was the accelerant.
I couldn’t have said more simply or better
. . . the catalyst.
for those more chemically biased.
Thanks for validating the "sleeze" I have always felt through a monitor for Hotez.
Can't believe Baylor puts up with this guy. Baylor, you can't dance on campus, Baylor.
Baylor didn’t mind getting rid of Peter McCullough, so you know which side of the vax issue they were on.
Clearly, Baylor Medical is one of the CAPTURED Academic institutions polluting our youth and helping to plunge them into debt all for money!
Baylor probably didn't want to give up the grant money. Maybe when the money dries up and they have legal ammunition, they will cut him loose.
I sure hope so. What a stain on Baylor and TX.
This Baylor isn't Baylor University in Waco. It's Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, which has been completely separate from BU for many, many years. And dancing actually came to BU's campus in the late 1980s because we had a dance on the top floor of the new parking garage during Dia del Oso weekend one year. I had the T-shirt: "No Parking on the Dance Floor." Sic 'em the ACTUAL Baylor! (BSEd '89, MSEd '92)
Glad to hear it had changed. My context is from the mid-80's.
I emailed Baylor long ago warning the university that they can be held liable for an employee very publicly pushing an intervention that is grossly undertested and in fact can maim or kill. No response. I'll have to dig it up. I warned Baylor U; they responded with indifference. Pathetic. #Baylor
