Yes to no more clocks, calendars, and Zoom calls. A guy found out I was retired and said, āRetired people tell me theyāre now busier than ever." I had to admit, "Nope. I don't have that problem.ā God is good.
I think a lot of people are old enough to retire, but they canāt financially. More and more I hear them saying, āI have to work to have purpose in my life.ā āOr, retired people are busier than when they were working.ā
I think theyāre comforted by thinking that way. But itās so sad, because retirement is so wonderful.
I retired in 2021, my husband died in 2022, it's 2024 and I'm still figuring it all out day by day! But praise the Lord I am breathing and getting to read C&C every day! My heart breaks for those who still have to work at my age (70) and I give thanks to my Lord who meets my needs daily!
I'm retired and have so many projects going on. I love it. The only thing I miss about working is work friends. For an introvert, I was great at making work friends. I could interact as much or as little as I wanted, and then happily go back to my lair, alone.
From Calvin and Hobbes (Bill Watterson); āThereās never enough time to do all the nothing you want to do.ā I feel this way, when I finally turn in late at night.
From my earliest years, I was pried out of bed around 5:00 a.m. My folks were very devout Pentecostal church goers and we probably averaged 5 nights a week of being out late. Sometimes very late. (We never missed a revival or any sort of meeting within driving distance- no matter how old and prone to flat tires and engine failures our old vehicle might be.)
This sleep deprivation lasted almost my entire adult life, what with a household of four children and a child-like husband to care for, while maintaining a career
So, my great joy now is to sleep until I awake naturally. And have nothing planned.
I was lucky to have time to decompress after the rat race and just chill. Something between boredom and a nagging sense of purpose stirred me up to get out and about, but I found a lot of very, very good people. It's like catching a second wind and not needing to run so hard.
I know some people who can't afford to retired even though they are in their 70's. It is sad that this Harris-Biden economy has ruined retirement for so many people.
It is a blessing. In His goodness, God taught me the difference between wants and needs, woke me up to prepare for old age before it was too late, set me among good neighbors like you and our C&C peeps, and keeps pointing me to all kinds of interesting, up-lifting stuff to read and share. It is well with my soul. āI have learned to be content whatever the circumstancesā (Philippians 4:11).
Retired 11 years come November 23 and loving every moment. I have been so busy but some days I just sit, read my Bible, devote, fix husbandās breakfast and mine. Then sit again if I want. Clean a room. Thankful for what the Lord helps me to do to encourage others each morning with a Scripture verse and picture. Life is worth living!
Thank you, Mr. Childers, again for news worth reading! Iām still amazed how peaceful RNC was compared to what DNC is by your reports!
Good for you. But I've taken a different route. I love learning and being engaged. So I created a podcast that's led to a book series that's led to speaking engagements. It's a passion project that is near and dear to my heart. Whatever spins your wheels, DO IT! Life is short; live it.
Reasonable, your explanation is priceless! I'm retired and sometimes pretty busy but almost always I can still find time to take a nap or walk the dog or sit in the evening and read "Jeff." Like Freebird said, It's the freedom to be busy if I want to be.
Iām not retired and Saturdays are usually my shopping day.
Anytime before 10 am is great, whoever picks the music they play gets two thumbs up, I can get anyone to talk with me, no one is in a bad mood and the lines are super short at the registers.
I get to church very early. By the time I leave at noon, I'm always starving. I decided to go to HEB after one dayāno parking place. I left and had a peanut butter sandwich. I will never make that mistake again š
Lately, since covid, I'll order what I need online and let them bring it to my car. Spending less that way too. I do like to go in however when getting my produce and fresh stuff.
Now I can dedicate myself to collecting and posting political memes with no fear of getting fired. This is a great luxury and I'm enjoying it immensely, especially because the SF Bay Area is so intolerant of any dissent from the TV narrative.
Thank you for that great post! I always get a kick out of people who think Trump is still āOrange man badā. She got a taste of her own medicine when she lost her job!
Check out āJuliaā on Max, āShÅgunā also on Max, āBad Sistersā (HILARIOUS!) on Apple TV, for a change of pace. Also, if you are into wine, āDrops of Godā.
The funniest party last night at the DNC was when some speaker was belittling Trump for saying that the United States was no longer respected in the world. I'm mean, we are talking about mumbling bumbling Biden, Cackle Voice, Anthony Blinken, Janet Yellow, Lloyd Austin, Grandma Garland, a while cast of idiot clown performers. Now, strangely Putin and Modi ... and even Xi, these are taken by the world at large as being articulate, well-education and highly respected for competence.
As a retired person who no longer subscribes to any MSM for critical (?) information (sarcasm), I have come to rely on C & C to tell me what day it is! I may need to go back to my medication dispenser for this reminder!
When a patient is being assessed for possible altered mental status in the ER, the first questions are typically, "Who are you?" "Where are you?" and "What's today's date?" I'm in trouble for that last one.
I donāt think Iām paying to read the Gateway Pundit! But, my right hand definitely doesnāt always know what my brain had it do later than yesterday š
Kennedy to address the nation tomorrow. Kennedy and Childrenās Health Defense also now can go forward with the lawsuit against Biden administration for censorship.
Kennedy is expected to drop out and endorse Trump. Trump has said he will certainly consider putting RFK Jr. into a cabinet position. Robert Barnes thinks that is the reason the betting markets have switched to favor Trump, more so than the disaster of the DNC.
Did Trump say a "cabinet" position or a position in his administration? There's a difference, and I hope it's the latter. Kennedy is still a far-left liberal.
I respectfully disagree. Remember, some of the far left things youāve heard were stated when he was perceived as a threat to some of Trumpās votes he does not want to cut up children, he does not want to abolish fossil fuels, He is anti-war machine, and is a constitutional and free speech absolutist. If you are referring to the fact that he is pro-choice, perhaps that is why you think of him as far left. I know that is a huge issue to so many people. But the amount of lives he could save all over the world if he could throw a monkey wrench and bio weapons and gain of function research, as well as getting to the bottom of the poisoning of our people with toxic food, pesticides, and drugs, is hard to even quantify. Remember, one of the biggest problems with the jabs is and fertility, reduced sperm, count, and motility, spontaneous abortions, still births and premature births. Kennedy could help put a stop to that not to mention the fact that turbo Is rising like crazy. And dementia and autism. We spent three times as much on āhealthcareā as we do on the military budget. They are also going to try to pull more pandemics on us. Kennedy is invaluable on all of these issues. He has a deep understanding of the science, and the ability to clearly communicate it. That is why corporate media hates him so much.
Medicineās goose is deeply browned, and RFKJr may be the only way to save what little meat is eatable. A (decidedly leftist) news blog (Medscape) dared run the piece on Kory and Marik, and I was happy to see so many truth tellers come out of the woodwork. Sprinkled of course with the occasional, āwow, thereās a lot of quackadoodles on Medscape today.ā
At least 20-1 against them loosing their certification.
Doctors need to band together and leave the allopathic medicine paradigm and all of its Big Pharma controlled medical boards behind.
All of the good medical practitioners that actually heal people have their licenses to practice medicine revoked. Everyone should seek out treatments outside of the Big Pharma drug pushing treadmill that so many people are stuck on.
Loosing (loose) is a great word if aptly used. Loosing an arrow is one example. I wouldn't consider it stupid to misspell lose as it is something of an aberration. We don't pronounce close as "klooz", for example. English is a melange of languages and interesting to study. Even close is pronounced differently depending on the context!
Like you, I also believed in the US Gov for decades, and mostly regarded the CIA taking out RFK as conspiracy theory. Your info, if all facts are true, shows so MUCH circumstantial evidence the CIA has their dirty hands in deep-- contaminating the US political system and wrecking our country.
You do not implicate the WEF but it is hard to imagine it is the CIA, alone.
Had an email exchange with a friend this morning, and told him "[A]s the instant substitution of Kamala (who no one voted for) indicates, the Deepstate's got this and we need not worry our little heads about it."
I do not trust RFK Jr. Remember invitees to his birthday party were required to be covid jabbed to attend. When challenged on this, he blamed his wife! But did not change her policy on the required jabs. I'll never trust him.
A marriage has a different set of dance steps and conditions that apply. Some people, I'm thinking of his wife are governed by their fears and perceived responsibilities.
I can just say, those dance steps can be difficult to master but necessary for the harmony of the relationship.
Im moving toward ethical anarchism more rapidly. no idea if I'll vote at all. consider the government just a branch of the mafia. that said, nobody is going to be perfect. Frederick Douglass ā 'I would unite with anybody to do right and with nobody to do wrong.'
Good point. If we rise above factions and personality cults, weāll tap into specific talents and passions and direct them to where theyāll best serve the nation. In the right role, RFKJr could be amazing. Maybe he could dice up HHS, FTC, and DOE and return power to the states. If heās a statesman, heāll love working himself out a job.
If we move above factions we have a chance to survive the globalist agenda - they who purposefully and skillfully manufacture factions. sad to see us leaping into their trap
Anyone who supports global warming, or cooling, or climate change or anything else these evil people want to call it cannot be taken seriously. It is a created crisis to change global wealth and power, FULL STOP. The idea that any "scientist" TM can say they have a clue on what is going on with climate on a massive planet, rotating on a weather causing tilted axis, with a sun and moon which has profound impact on it's weather, while it is also traveling around the sun on an annual 550 MILLION MILE trip through the cosmos, and has been doing this for millions and millions of years with all matter of naturally occurring climate change has been smoking way too much weed, hash, cocaine, LSD, sniffing their chemical concoctions, etc etc. These "scientists" TM are like pollsters, liars paid to sell a narrative supporting an agenda.
Climate change has been clearly and soundly debunked more times than brandon has had his depends changed (that's a lot) and kakala has nauseatingly cackled and yet, for power and money, the corrupt criminals will never give it up. And a small number of loud mouth indoctrinated loons support the insanity.
Our world's climate changes profoundly over a 100 degrees in a year in many places in the world and yet these buffoons are going to tell us a 2 degree change in a 100 years will kill off humanity. Insanity and its why fools like AOC and that dimwit delusional child greta "How dare you" thunberg are allowed to "lead" the charge.
environmental issues - clean water, air, healthy soil, healthy food - are where he's at with environmental issues, not on CO2 mania. It could be good to listen to recent interviews with him.
Think of this way: Children's Health Defense makes Kennedy the enemy of Big Pharma, Big Ag, Big Food, Big Tech, Big Med, Big Banks, and the other Big whatevers that I'm too lazy to think about.
Kennedy would fit in perfectly with the Trump administration based on the enemies list.
But Kathy, is he the only one who could do that? Isn't there a principled Republican--like maybe one of our Red State AGs--who could do just as well without RFK's baggage?
"as well as getting to the bottom of the poisoning of our people with toxic food, pesticides, and drugs, is hard to even quantify.

Long Video on Tucker a night or two ago as he hosted the Means (Calley & Casey, Stanford MD grads) who roasted the entire Medical/Food/Pharma Industrial Complexes. Worth a listen if you're so inclined.
He's really not. He was, but judging by his words he's no longer. I listened to his interview with Elon Musk a year ago or so and honestly he sounded to the right of Trump. At any rate, we do know he's solid on medical tyranny and deep state\CIA issues. His view of gay marriage albeit wrong has no bearing on what he would be tasked with doing in a Trump admin.
My personal feelings aside, and likewise my distaste of ātwo daddyāsā childrenās books, how can those of us on the freedom side continue to want discriminate against gays having the legal protections of marriage? ( /r. I know what the Bible says). Going out on a shaky limb here, but thereās a pretty good chance that āweā may have contributed to at least some of the gender issues with āourā hormone disrupters. And might I add that gays have served honorably in our military for decades, well before this politicization of gender.
No reason for gays to marry. They cannot produce children and already had the option of legalizing their financial and social contract via civil unions.
Yes. Marriage is a sacrament. The union of a man and woman to procreate and bring children into the world. Gay āmarriageā mocks the sacrament which was the entire point. I was for civil unions which was the way to handle it but no they had to go all the way.
I disagree. Marriage is a spiritual union designed by God and it is the inseparable joining of two souls so that the man and wife become one. This spiritual union actually has nothing to do with government or law other than that the governing authority should be respectful of Godās design and recognize marriage as such. Marriage between a man and a woman is, however, so profitable to a nation/culture/society that many nations protect and promote it through legal incentives/moral disincentives.
20The man gave names to all the livestock, to the birds of the air, and to every beast of the field. But for Adam no suitable helper was found.
21So the LORD God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep, and while he slept, He took one of the manās ribs and closed up the area with flesh. 22And from the rib that the LORD God had taken from the man, He made a woman and brought her to him. 23And the man said:
āThis is now bone of my bones
and flesh of my flesh;
she shall be called āwoman,ā
for out of man she was taken.ā
24For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.
Iām glad you asked! Note, if one does not believe that the Bible is the Word of God, in written, infallible, and perfectly preserved form, then any arguments from it are perhaps not particularly convincing. Likewise, if one is happy to consume some modern paraphrases that claim to be āThe Bibleā but are simply muddy waters, one may not even be able to find these following verses or word studies.
But in the King James Bible,
Genesis 1:27 āSo God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.ā
Genesis 2:20-25 (Fla mom kindly shared); vv. 23-24 being particularly salient to this conversation: āAnd Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.ā
If you go to a Bible app and enter marriageā (I use the KJB so I canāt vouch for how this shows up in modern translations) into the search bar, you can see a host of verses that describe or prescribe the pattern of marriage that God has set forth. Levitical law describes in detail what is acceptable and not acceptable related to marriage - adultery was a crime worthy of death. (For anyone balking at this, to be fair, ALL sin is crime worthy of death: Romans 6:23 āFor the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.ā God assigned a heavy earthly price to pay for adultery, due, I believe, to its extreme detriment to the health of families, religious communities and nations. We can see clearly today what happens when you accept a little immoralityā¦then you are expected to celebrate itā¦then it consumes you and your childrenā¦)
For our dispensation in particular, I see Godās instruction through Paul, in 1 Corinthians 7:2 āā¦to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.ā
I Timothy 5:9 describes a widow worthy of being supported by the church as āhaving been the wife of one manā, I Timothy 3:2-5, 8-12 says bishops and deacons should be āhusbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well.ā It seems a simple inference to see that marriage has a hierarchy and a purpose - husbands leading in their homes, and wives loving their husbands and children and obeying their husbands (Titus 2:4-5; āThat they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, to be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.ā)
For women chafing under the instruction to obey your husband - our culture will put you under obedience to any random dude at the workplace but you chafe at the idea of ONLY having to obey your own husband? I think it is an incredible delight to have ONLY one earthly boss and he is the man who sacrificially loves, serves and provides for his family. Best boss ever.
But I digress, a bit. I hope this helped answer your question, or offer a starting place for your research, Bryan. I have to chase down dinner for my kids (thankfully not literally!) so I may not see future responses but thanks for the question, I appreciate your engagement.
No, I am sorry, but all of that verbiage does not address my question.
Firstly, it starts with an inconsistency. In Genesis 1, a man and a woman are created at once. In Genesis 2, we get the crazy story of Eve being created from Adam's stolen rib.
In any case, husbands and wives are mentioned but it is not defined how they were married.
Lastly, how does your god feel about polygamy?
'King David had at least eight wives. His first two wives were Ahinoam and Abigail, whom he married before he became king of Judah. His next four wives were Maakah, Haggith, Abital, and Eglah, whom he married while he reigned in Hebron for seven and a half years. His most famous wife was Bathsheba, whom he married after he moved his capital to Jerusalem. Each of his wives bore him sons, except for Bathsheba who bore him four sons.'
A man will never be the "husband " of another man. No matter what SCOTUS (incorrectly) states in Obergefell. It should be overturned on the same basis as Roe.
Corruption of marriage is found throughout the Holy Bible which is a historical document. The original couple Adam and Eve were the ideal, but over time, natural man/woman became enemies to God. They were tempted to leave the presence of God and live on their own. Just like today, many feel they donāt need spirituality, faith, or an understanding of the purpose of life to be happy. Or is it they are prideful? Seeking truth through God is not easy, but worthwhile because it is strengthening and ennobling. How unfortunate that we have lost dignity in our society.
It is almost like this god is not omnipotent, omnipresent, and all knowing if puny insignificant humans can just live blissful lives doing as they please pretending this great deity is nonexistent.
Fred, I agree with you, our food supply and the products we use are full of hormone disruptors and cancer causing agents. And gays have been in the military for many years, but may I point out thereās a huge difference between openly trans and gay, and DEI hires and promotions, for example, into our federal government that have made a mockery of gay people.
Being gay in the military is really not the issue. The military on the surface is honorable, but I hate that they use war for profit and our men/women as fodder. There is another very dark side that does secret operations/experiments on it's own and others. We know of a few like Paperclip, but there are operations that do horrific things to children and train them to do horrific things too all for research and spiritual satanic purposes in the high ranks of the military.
If we knew how sinister the world's leadership (and entertainment industries) probably from the beginning, is/was, we would not be able to comprehend or handle it.
2 Corinthians 4:4 In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.
IMHO, we can do nothing but pray and trust God. When it is time, God will give us the ability and knowledge we need. It really seems we are in the end times so we must guard our hearts and minds until sin is wiped from the earth.
You know that verse that men will pray for death and will not find it? Death is not the worst that can happen and God tells us to set our minds on higher things. God bless.
"The Constitution isn't a suicide pact," said George Will once, back in the day. Yes, let's pretend that all of human history has been wrong, but we're right, and see how things go. No; that's how we got here. They can have medical and general power of attorney, they can inherit, they can co-own, they can live together, whatever; but they're not married. They had all of the above, sans the 'marriage' status, before the terrible Obergefell Supreme Court opinion, but it wasn't enough, because it's never enough, until our faces are rubbed off in it and we're not allowed to express *our* opinions.
No he didnāt. He said there should be limits but heās a medical freedom absolutist so that is tricky issue for him. He wants government out of ALL medical decisions.
JFK Jr did say that live on camera. That he supported legal abortion "through the 9th month." That it was "entirely the woman's decision."
After a HUGE public outrage in the days that followed, he "changed his mind." What's to say he won't "change his mind" again once he gets political power? He's not to be trusted. Either you have the moral sense NOT to kill a full-term baby or you don't. It shouldn't take public outrage for him to develop a moral compass at the age of 70.
You're correct. But you've got it backwards - he walked back his statement that abortion should be illegal after viability, and moved to a no restriction position.
To be fair, that was when he was still running for the Democratic nomination, but that's not much of a defense.
I really like RFK, but just propensity to reverse himself is not a great recommendation.
Just trying to call balls and strikes here. Major problem with candidates who "misspeak" and walk it back in the face of pressure.
I always welcome being corrected. But I believe RFK Jr's "whip-lashy" changes of mind and "misspeaking" are even more frequent than you realize.
It's absolutely true that he flip-flopped on abortion from illegality after viability to a "no restriction" policy after pressure from a DEI interviewer. However, within the week, after mounting disgust and outrage from the public, he flip-flopped again. It I find the video, I'll share it.
By the way, I am also a proponent of the Latin Mass. And someone who is thoroughly disillusioned with the nonsense coming out of the Vatican and its anti-Catholic figurehead.
Has he walked back this quote from 2019 stating (in the inverse) that he is FOR mandating medical interventions if . . . " "I donāt think we should be MANDATING MEDICAL INTERVENTIONS for unwilling Americans UNLESS we know precisely that that vaccine is going to end up helping them rather than hurting them." RFK Jr. Oct. 21, 2019
JFK Jr did say that live on camera. That he supported legal abortion "through the 9th month." That it was "entirely the woman's decision."

I wouldn't say he's far left at all, unless you think being pro-choice, which he is reluctantly, far-left. The DNC has been persecuting him because he has more integrity in his little finger than they do as an entire organization. He has never attacked or insulted anyone - including harris or trump - personally. Most of the time he seems to me like the only adult in the room. And I trust his wanting what's best for the country. If that means supporting Trump, than good for him - and for Trump. I'd love to see him head up the HHS or - hahaha - the CIA.
I, too believe Kennedy is far left. I watched an interview he did where he stated his position on a lot of issues and found him to be too far left for my liking. I cannot remember who he interviewed with and I really wish I could find it. Just like Cackle Harris, I feel like heās trying to appear more moderate in order to appeal to more voters. Thatās just my opinion, though.
He was interviewed on Epoch Times and his positions were far left and if you go to his campaign website, those positions are spelled out. Definitely left of center and the only common ground I probably share is anti-vaccination. I did appreciate his Documentary: "The Real Anthony Fauci." (The system kept changing to anti-tax rather than vax.)
He is full-on about making corporate polluters pay to clean up their messes. A clean environment is his priority. He has been vocally AGAINST obsessing about carbon emissionsāthe central focus of the climate change fear-mongers. He believes in ending all government subsidies to industries (including fossil fuels) so that market forces alone dictate the costs/prices of energy, etc.. He's a radical capitalist, not a Leftist.
Yes, that was years ago. He changes his views and stances based on new information. He believes polluters are the biggest environmental hazard and he is wholly against technocratic climate change "solutions" embodied by anti-liberty autocrats like the WEF.
I donāt trust him and donāt want him in a position where he can damage our country any further or throw a monkey wrench into Trumpās administration. We had enough issues the first term.
Actually it seems a bit more murky than that... "members of the Kennedy campaign" confirmed to WaPo and others that he was trying to meet with Kamala to make a deal, but then the next day he posted a tweet denying that he was ever considering it.
Could be "his campaign" did it without asking him first. Or "members of the campaign" who wanted to undermine him. Or perhaps he really did for his own reasons, but denied after backlash. I sure don't know the guy to be able to say!
And if he doesnāt choose to drop out and endorse Trump, has he created more of a āTrump-like, but because of lofty principles must continue on, so vote for me because of the nobleness of my sacrificeā perception?
If itās true that Trump has teased a position in his administration and R.F.K., Jr. is out there saying heās been promised a cabinet position, thatās very problematic. If R.F.K., Jr. is negotiating, offering his voters in exchange for a cabinet position and Trump doesnāt trust him for that and says, no, what then?
What if it is a matter of how to most damage Trump; as an inside obstacle or a vote splitter?
The drama has been created. Everyone is watching and waiting.
I don't know for sure. He said something on CNN recently. Probably a position in his administration. Barnes thinks Kennedy would be interested in heading up Health and Human Services which would make sense. People have also mentioned AG but that makes no sense to me, except as a tribute to Jr.'s father.
As AG he could go after ALL the corruption, in and out of government. Think of all the crony corporatism that has sabotaged the American dream and our health and wellbeing. He could go after corporations AND the three-letter agencies that are corrupting our system.
Anyone who knows anything about RFK Jr. knows of his skepticismāone might say antipathy, evenātowards the intelligence community. Let's be serious.
Do you believe everything you hear? Why wouldnāt he seek to create that perception if indeed he is a plant?
Why did he record his phone conversation with DJT, then leak it, then deny knowing how it got leaked?
Anyone can say anything. Itās their actions that count.
I hope his announcement tomorrow is not a disappointment in which he declares that for the future good of government, he needs to push through with creating a third party.
WS, Sundance's 'proof' that RFK talked to Kamala about a Cabinet position is . . . the WaPo. Sourced to a couple of people in the Kennedy campaign, but Nicole Shanahan said the Dems had put ringers into their campaign staff. And sometimes I think that Sundance is Q for people who can somehow read his lengthy tomes every day. He seems to claim to be the only person who knows a lot of semi-hidden esoteric information and how to link it all together into, I don't know, his material.
Iāve read his lengthy tomes since the beginning of the Obama campaign back in 2007. Iāve seen him call out people that no one else was noticing and seen him be correct over and over again. (Mike Pence, for a more recent example, but it has happened multiple times. I think he has a very superior understanding of how government is working now and how the dots are connected.
He does analysis, not ādrive by reportingā. It takes more effort to follow him, but I find it well worth the effort. And by and by that seemingly semi-hidden esoteric information becomes quite clear.
That is my experience and perception in regards to Sundance.
Here are some other sources to the story; Fox News among them and the N.Y. Post. There were many, many other links, but I got tired of copying them. (Sorry, they didnāt copy as links from my Notes, but they should be easy to find. I use Duck, Duck, Go.)

Similar, I find SD to be generally pretty perceptive - if perhaps a bit prone to attributing motivations, and not hedging his opinions at all such that the result often comes off rather "black-pilly" (I don't think that's his intention per se, just that he seems like more a "facts don't care about your feelings" kind of guy).
So his takes on the observable effects are good (Kennedy running takes votes away from trump), but his takes on the motives might warrant a grain of salt (Kennedy doing it on purpose to hurt Trump / benefit the IC / whatever).
I'm paying close attention to thiis matter and never heard Trump say "cabinet" position. But that is what RFK Jr was peddling in exchange for his endorsement.
Kennedy demonstrated a lot of courage in writing "The Real Anthony Fauci" and telling the truth about our corrupt public "health care" and their bed partners in Pharma. He exposed them all and the proof it was 100% facts and truth is that not one damn person sued him. I'd be all in on him if he would abandon abortion and turn 100% pro life. But without that, it bothers me he would lead a "public health" agency.
I think if he was given very strict marching orders with clear left and right limits and reporting requirements, he has insider knowledge which could really help clean out the deep disaster people like the human cockroach Fauci and the walking crime against humanity bill gates have brought down on the world.
I don't understand what you are saying. 6 days ago, after WaPo claimed this, he refuted that he was asking for a cabinet position, but asked for a meeting for another reason. Now, one can believe WaPo or RFK JR as they wish, but to claim he did ask for a posittion when it is a he said, she said situation is not accurate. If you want to believe that, it is your right, but it's not a proven fact.
"That's fake news. I didn't ask Kamala Harris for a Cabinet position but I've reached out to all the candidates. I've met with some," Kennedy told guests during his "TikTok Town Hall" live-streamed event.
Any person with a personal agenda/vendetta can become single-issue focused and lose sight of the broader mission. RFK Jr, if he is in Trumpās Cabinet, will need to get out from behind the microscope.
Not cabinet, admin. I think he should be Trump's Chief of Staff. Trump needs people around him who are serious people to keep him in line. JD Vance and RFK are serious men. Trump keeps going off the reservation into silliness, like that whole thing with "I'm prettier than Kamala".
He's trying to bring levity to an otherwise terrible, scary potential outcome. It's not silly. It's the need to laugh at the total stupidity and debauchery that is the current dnc.
Trump needs no "keeping him in line" - he needs staff which will provide honest, legitimate, alternate courses of action on key issues - he will make the right decision. What he doesn't need is more deep state operatives and I think he learned that lesson well in his first term. If you think he needs to be kept in line, you've been watching too much MSDNC.
Hearing anyone talk about having a one on one with Trump, he always wants to hear their opinion on topics, doesnāt matter who they are. I think thatās a good quality.
Read my comment again Dan. "Trump needs no "keeping him in line" - he needs staff which will provide honest, legitimate, alternate courses of action on key issues...". This is precisely what I was saying. Staff providing what you list would be keeping him in line and on mission and message.
No FGB what you said was "keeping him in line". If you've ever been a leader then you know that is far, far different from having a staff which provides recommendations, alternative courses of action, and then ACTS PROMPTLY and DECISIVELY based on the bosses decision. Keeping him in line means he is unable to make sound decisions, kinda like Brandon, Kakala, Obama and all the others run by the global corporate marxists. As you can see from his 2016 to 2020 successes, he ran things remarkably well, and accomplished many many great things for the Citizens and the Country, in spite of having a "staff" of deep state operatives which sought to undermine him at every turn, Pence being one of the many scumbags. You may not like his messaging, I thought it was spot on and exposed the deep state and the government wide corruption for the first time so that the people could see what the hell "our" government has been doing to us.
They stole 2020 from us, they stole 2022 from us and now they are set to steal 2024, Trump is really our only hope to turn it around, and he will, if we can overcome their treasonous election manipulation.
Somebody needs to rein in the FDA and the USDA with respect to both Pharma and food freedom. RFK Jr. has been concerned for years about the dangers of vaccines to children and was against the Covid vax. I think he would be wasted as chief of staff.
Precisely correct, Willing! Everything he has done has been to expose their abuse of the American People, the true Sovereigns of the country. He will return our sovereignty. I'm not certain but perhaps FGB3 is a never trumper trying to undermine Trump and us.
Everyone is entitled to an opinion. Yours is, "What you consider āsillinessā is very strategically done. President Trump does not need helpers to keep him in line". So Will what are YOUR credentials? I mean really! How self-righteous!
I am able to have admiration for someone who has accomplished what Donald Trump has accomplished in his lifetime. He is a giant of a man. What is wrong with you that you canāt appreciate that level of greatness?
I know I donāt have the credentials to give advice to anyone with that level of success.
There is nothing "wrong with me" Will. I never said anything about Trump's greatness or lack of greatness. These are all things you are manufacturing. You are being very defensive over nothing. His success prior to being president is not at issue.
I will say that I find him not being as serious as he should be right now. This country is in serious trouble. Sometimes I see him as not exhibiting constancy of awareness of this situation. Trump just cannot resist the temptation, many times, to be careful of his words and actions. And this is just who he is.
That is why I say he needs some folks around him who can balance out his tendencies to lose track of what needs to be said and done. He didn't have that in his first administration. He had villains around him.
I can point out one instance in which he just could not keep his eye on the ball. That was when Sidney Powell, Mike Flynn and Patrick Byrne were so worried about Trump not getting good advice on the election steal, that they "crashed" the White House one night in December 2020. They laid out what he ought to do and he liked that, and then the next thing you know he didn't follow thru on it.
This was all part of the plan. But, the real race starts today as Jeff said! She just screwed herself by accepting the nomination last night. Something about the Delegates.
Absolutely unbelievable the comments of vax defenders. I was going to reply to the first one I read and realized it was a usless waste of time, there are so many and they are so brainwashed and propagandized.
Thanks a lot! I don't normally comment on X but I saw some stupid replies and OF COURSE couldn't keep my fingers shut. Luckily I will never see their replies!
Seems like it. Same with RFK. People judge both of them by views held years ago yet don't hold that same standard regarding Trump's past views. People who aren't zombies (most Democrats) change (become more conservative) as we get older. Many don't! Some do
Vaxx-washing; Not a single Vaxx-hesitant Biden Voter would have taken a shot in 2020 or after as they wouldn't trust a Trump Vaccine... BUT, the Day after Biden was coronated by media as winning the Election, and the narrative shifted 180 degrees, THEY ALL WANTED to be the FIRST to get the Virus-stopping safe and effective Shots..so much so that the Dem Media was decrying the "Vaxx deserts" of communities of color suffering from the SHORTAGE of avail. jab juice, and how Unfair it was that all the White Liberal Suburban Moms, their 10 year olds, their embryos, and Grandmas were getting all the recommended doses without hinderance while CoVid was killing thousands of Blacks, Hispanics, Native Americans, and Migrants in the shadows due to systemic institutional racism ( Not Biden's nor Democrats' FAULT ).
Oh those wonderful shots and boosters...that keep on working.
I was at the doctor's office today for quarterly blood work. I overheard the nurses talking. and apparently, just about the entire staff, most doctors as well, recently had covid.
My doctor said that they have been extremely busy with sick people...Yes, it is going around again (south Florida) and being that it is here to stay, Big Pharm will keep tricking and scaring the sheep into getting those boosters.
Aww, come on... Don't you know there's a new and improved vaccine available now for the most recent variants? Don't be the last on your block to get one - they're all the rage!
Itās crazy isnāt it? Canāt they think for themselves? I understand why the people in power shifted the narrative since it was all about gaining more power and money.
It's as if the Big (p)HARMyA-Political-Military-Media-Depopulation-Profiteering Complex was immediately ushered in to seamlessly, smoothly assure Harris-Biden and ALL Dumbocrats that the "Trump" Vaxxes HAD TO go out with their full throated approval and without hesitation to ensure Operations were unhindered and without a hiccup or adverse reaction. They then labelled all the Election Denying MAGA Nuts as being Vaxxiphobic and anti-science and a threat to both democracy and normalcy and everyone else's health and safety. Could've easily named it: Operation 180-Max-Vaxx
I am sort of surprised that she got the shots because I thought she had a vax injured child....maybe my information was bad--not surprising as I really didn't read much about her other than she supported CHD. Maybe her reason is her own injury...
The discussion is about how having Rober Kennedy Jr endorse him and be on Trumps staff would significantly help the vote. Rand Paul, though an excellent Dr, wouldn't have that benefit.
The discussion I responded to was about Shanahan and she is not qualified as assistant HHS. And Trump isn't giving RFK jr anything before the election. He will consider it. Period. I think there is a place for him but not a cabinet position. People tend to get ahead of their horse.
Itās better to watch on Tuckercarlsonnetwork because there will be less commercials and no blacked out censoring bits, which they do a lot in the YouTube version.
Actually No! I havenāt paid a dime and I watch most of his longer interviews with ease. He has some specials that maybe only subscribers get, and some are early released to subscribers first, and then available to everyone a few days later. The kinds like these are too important to keep behind a paywall. Heās gracious. And he is doing fine. Whenever I am able to financially support him I will out of gratitude. I just select from his drop down menu āsee allā and then they are listed by most recent. In two months Iāve only ever come across one that I wanted to see that was for subscribers only.
Can I just say how thankful I am that you are monitoring the DNC for us? A (conservative) neighbor asked me the other day if Iād been watching it - he felt like he needed to, to keep abreast of news - and I was so pleased to be able to say I was up to date on it but hadnāt had to endure a second of it first hand š
Why would any conservative in their right mind watch it (aside from Jeff Childers doing it as a public service)? We all know they are liars and mostly degenerates, why would anyone subject themselves to this? What good can come from it?
Human beings are a strange lot in that they intentionally torture themselves with things that make them miserable rather than just turn it off. I will never forget I was on business travel when the Newtown shooting happened. I heard it on the news in the car on the way to the airport. Of course it was horrible, but it wasn't happening to me, it was a thousand miles away, and there was absolutely nothing I could do about it. So I said a short prayer, changed the channel, and enjoyed music for the rest of the hour drive.
When I got to the airport I met my boss there. The first words out of his mouth were about the shooting. He said how he was desperate for news about it and was constantly searching around the news station on the entire drive trying to find more information. He made himself miserable for an hour over something completely out of his control.
IMO, this is the difference between believing God is in control versus feeling like a helpless peon in the universe. People who feel helpless are desperate for any information they can cling to and make themselves miserable in the process.
Don't do this too yourself. There's no need to watch the Dems lie to be "informed". We know their character and that they will try every dirty trick to steal it. Unless it's your job to counter them, focus on what you can control and enjoy life.
āFinally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.ā
I wasn't thinking about that verse but it's fantastic.
One of the benefits of attending a strongly biblical church (thirty years for me) is that you can't help but being brainwashed (but in a good way) over time. The Bible calls it the renewing of one's mind (Romans 12). After a while there's an inherent sense of biblical vs. non-biblical behavior. One doesn't need to search for a verse to understand how to react to things as it becomes one's nature.
And of course being open to be led by the Holy Spirit is key. But one has to know the Bible to understand if something is truly of the Lord. The Holy Spirit is the author of the Bible and He doesn't contradict Himself. So if one is questioning if something is of the Lord, but it contradicts scripture, it's an easy call.
Yes to all of that! All kinds of rot can sneak up and pollute our minds, so we need to be intentional. āLet the message of Christ dwell among you richlyā (Colossians 3:16). Otherwise, garbage in, garbage out.
Thatās my favorite Bible verse. I quoted it last night at dinner with friends. Every time I quote it to someone they ask me to repeat it. Itās so gorgeous! šāļøāØ But I prefer the KJV - most authentic to original manuscript.
It definitely ranks up in the top 10 of my favorites. The reason I quoted this one in response to Jeff Cās comment, is because itās the one which always pops into my mind when the news of the day or events of the world start to weigh heavily in my heart and mind. Then God reminds me through this verse to redirect my focus. Isnāt it beautiful? āļøš
I have a beautiful vintage print of a young girl in a meadow, looking pensively at a flower in her hand with this same (slightly modified) saying underneath the print. I see it every day. With all the craziness and fear mongering going on in the world itās a great reminder to reflect on the good in life. Fear, anxiety and angst are killers. They will not only shorten your life, but will make it miserable too.
You shouldn't be watching the local news, or any news for that matter, it is propaganda. It's not meant to inform you but to either 1) increase ratings through sensationalism (if it bleeds it leads) or 2) persuade you to behave in a certain manner, usually against your own interests. Neither is good for you, emotionally or spiritually.
We already saw one miracle when God spared Donald Trump's life. I wouldn't be at all surprised if there are more.
Nancy! It was simply stomach turning appalling. Like some mad clown reality TV show were all the clowns are deranged three year olds acting out. And these people believe this Commie New Utopia crap coming out of their mouths!
The real horror is that the 'other party' is only marginally better, that is ... if 1776 is the gold standard.
Jeff C: at 71, I have pondered this very issue for my entire adult life. I cannot get my head wrapped around it to this day, but you have summed it up beautifully and succinctly. Thanks for sharing.
So on target, Jeff C. Bad news may be unavoidable, but intentionally looking for dirty water to put in our gas tanks will always damage performance. āSet your minds on things above, not on earthly thingsā (Colossians 3:2).
So true! Catholics have a prayer called the Surrender Novena. Once I discovered that prayer I donāt worry about anything. God is in control as you said and I canāt do anything to change it so why worry. I trust in Jesus, surrender myself to Him and let Him take care of things. Itās liberating!
Jeff C, I haven't convinced you to run for political office, but I wish there were a way for your hard-earned wisdom and advice to reach a wider audience.
And we know the Enemy of our souls comes to steal, kill and destroy. If he can rob us of our joy by lying to us that we "need to be informed" which leads us down a rabbit hole of negativity, he wins.
I watched it ... as much as I could stomach. And then abandoned ship just before it went under ... or was that at the beginning. I forget.
So, the value is this. Most of the time I am totally removed from their ads, their Fake Media, their web pages, sites, etc. ... and so every once and awhile a dose of seeing how bad it really is ... is a 'bring home' reality check of where we are. And it is much, much worse than I viscerally feel it on any given day. Worst of all, these people are True Believers ... and you would have to use TNT or nukes to dislodge them from their belief system. And to some greater or less degree, this observation applies to most of the electorate as well as a huge swath of that 'other party'.
The Confederacy won the war! But it must have the Dunces.
Well ... there is the hint in my comment that watching just a wee smidgeon of the DNC Dancing Prancing SS damn near did me in, particularly as to any hope whatsoever of a recovery to health barring total collapse. The only bright side dark side is that this stuff eventually burns itself out (the bright side), but often at the cost of tens of millions dead and a lot of human emotion suffocation (the dark cost). And yes, at this point, I'd move to Russia for relief in a hot second if I was in better health.
But wait! All is not lost. DeWife turned seventy today. And there is eating out today at a prime eatery. And I'll have my exotic and eccentric special for dinner ... fried onion rings and French onion soup, and then down to The Gelato Store for some mint chocolate chip gellato. And it is so good that it doesn't matter one wit whether one spells gelato gellato with one or two 'els' ... or even two 'tees'. Or is that 'trees'? (After three cups of coffee I get very confused!)
I share your gratitude to Mr. Childers, Esq. for diving on this grenade to save his platoon. The whole thing is an exercise in bizarre demagoguery.
Parenthetically, I managed to stumble upon an article this morning from The Daily Mail excerpting Michigan Attorney General and militant lesbian Dana Nessel's challenge to republicans and the conservative Supreme Court justices to prey the wedding ring from her "cold, dead, gay hand." This is the climate the DNC is actively creating. Yet, even the most staunch reactionaries could not care less about gay marriage.
Watching Nessel in full fascist "Mussolini on the Balcony" mode serves as yet another reminder of why I am glad that my wife and I pulled up stakes and left Michigan for good.
Loving and committed relationship perhaps but a Fake Marriage; why would anyone pull off her ring? like forcing a clown to not wear makeup and big shoes. Wear men's clothes and dye your hair while you're at it Dana the Man-a.
For me personally that ship has sailed. If gay people wish to enjoy the fruits and detriments of wedded bliss, more power to them. I'm more disturbed by the overtly hateful rhetoric (as evidenced by Dana Nessel), the cavalcade of dysfunctional politicians (also evidenced by Dana Nessel) and washed-up celebrities being rolled out to support the DNC's cause, and the harsh reality that there is still a significant number of people out there who share these beliefs.
The truth is that the God of the Bible is anti-queer, anti-alphabet sodomite. And nobody wants to deal with that because you know ... for reason of a fake 'tolerance' being glorified as virtue over that which is tributary of God. Not even the would-be allegedly Christian pastorate in the main wants to say openly, loud and clear that sodomy is anathema.
Christians need to get it through their heads that the Lord who now sits on the His throne in heaven ruling over all is an Intolerant God who will hold all societies accountable to His Law. But Satan does his best as a squatter to convince us otherwise. Read Psalm 2.
Eric Metaxas talks about this in his recent book, Religionless Christianity. Metaxas' thesis derives from his study of the writings of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, who appealed to Christians not to āpracticeā their faith but to live it.
My best guess from long observation is that God is not really, really real in any vivid sense in the minds of most Christians. Maybe part real. Maybe part abstraction. Maybe somewhat of an deus ex machina spewing out goodies, benefits, uplifting 'feel goods' ... like a bubble gum machine gone mad awry.
For example! How many folks, and that's if they had the wit to figure it out in the first place, would forgo a profit of 7x or 8x so far over the past five to years in BitCoin for reason of it being a violation of the 9th Commandment ... not to mention other injunctions against the same elsewhere? And with huge multiples of profit down the road yet to appear? Now that is a real tough decision to have to make.
For most Christians sitting in Fake Churches, their god is their comfort physical, their comfort emotional, and add in the twin gods of wealth and of the blind eye, both cauterizing of an hope to wise judgment? And why is this? Because it is very, very uncomfortable to turn pages in Foxe's Book of Martyrs and then put on a happy face. I ought to know because, and as afore mentioned elsewhere, I like gelato mint chocolate chip. And the omnipresent danger in gelato mint chip and other such seductive persuasions as may be thrown across one's pathway is that they can easily trend towards the unthinking habitual and the overriding. It is far easier to pretend the world is what it isn't.
Humanity walks a tightrope every day and knows it not.
Has not life in America been an extraordinary surreal adventure from childhood in the 1950s unto this day in the 21st Century. I could have never guessed at it afore hand.
I also think on our fathers, all of them ... both the fairly well educated and the not so well educated. None had the clue as to the world they lived in excepting outward appearances. Had they only known, they (many of them) would be aghast.
Hating the supposedly hateful is motivating to the Progressive policy makers and the voters they preach this crap to as they escalate societal changes and redefinitions to criminalize and shame those who oppose them and their vision for humanity
A friend just shared https://x.com/CortesSteve/status/1826226313847329187 "The DNC is more secure than America's border." (He attempted to bring a friend from Venezuela in w/ him but "you need an ID and you need credentials to get in ....")
You are confirming that I made the correct decision to not replace my last television after it was stolen in 1987. Biden and Clinton should set up croaking contests.
Thereās not enough ginger in the world to stave off the vomit inducing nausea I would experience watching that real time. Thank you Jeff for saving me from the torment of the DNC.
Shouldn't DopeRah have been bitching about all the FAT Shaming she endured too??? Didn't she have semi-safe and legal abortion when a teen? Did she become sterile as a result? Last i recall she was extolling the lockdown and crying for Health Equity Justice for the Globe of underserved during the Televised Locked Up Apart-In it Together Event
Okra! That made me LOL! She fat-shamed herself repeatedly over the years with her lose weight quick schemes and personal chefs she probably cheated on at the local Giordanoās.
I think her life's love man-partner Winston, or Cheston, or Carleton or whatever is her monogamous steady. How very archaic and unsharing of them, but the Dems have a Big Tent Party in terms of Sexual and relational tastes.
Command Sgt. Major Coach Walz strikes me as a Spanky and Our Gang Mussolini in a baggy, medal-encrusted tunic and a sideways baseball cap. He walks, talks, and chews gum, but none at the same time.
'Thursday was āThorās Dayā, named after the Norse god of thunder and lightning and is the Old Norse equivalent to Jupiter. Thor is often depicted holding a giant hammer and during the 10th and 11th centuries when Christians tried to convert the Scandinavians, many wore emblems of Thorās hammer as a symbol of defiance against the new religion.'
Along with my crazy 83 year old atheist brotheršš¤£š
He kept saying he had to get tickets for Comic-Con and I thought he was saying āCommie-Conšš¤£šš¤£š. Then his head went š¤Æš”. So much fun!
My essay on why only Trump/Vance plus RFK Jr/Shanahan uniting, can win, and save our country. Everyone, if you agree, please get this to the Principals before Friday.
Her substack is very readable, if long. However, when she interviews people, I find it difficult to listen all the way through b/c of the near-constant interrupting. It may be clarifying but it's also very disruptive.
She doesnāt conduct the interview. Alex Jones in interviewing her. So of course if done well she will be doing most of the talking in such an interview. Itās quite good. I hope you watch it sometime today.

Maybe you should watch links first before commenting?? Title for interview āNaomi Wolf Issues Emergency Warning To Trump Regarding Ongoing Deep State Coupā
Well see thatās where you show your true colors. Youāre only here to stir s*t. I just happened to have sent my college son that link last week so it was easy to grab from his text message stream to post. It was precisely relevant to answering what you would bill as an honest question, and I treated it as such. But now you show you really donāt want to understand anything, you just want to throw rocks at spokes.
I gave you the respect, you just showed you are incapable of reciprocating. Iāll be on my way now, you have ā¦ well whatever kind of day someone like you has.
You mean, like he did, for the most part, the first time around? We were all here then, Vonu; we can't be fooled into thinking he didn't. Most politicians forget they ever said such things, whereas, though he was my last choice of Republican candidates in 2016, I became an enthusiastic supporter - no new wars, progress in the existing ones, Abraham Accords, moved the Embassy to Jerusalem (not an issue I had followed or cared about, but he was the first in a long line who promised that to actually do it), reasonably conservative Supreme Court Justices (the list he put out in 2016 helped me to vote for him, and their presence has resulted in some critically important decisions), did build some decent wall against amazing opposition, good border policy resulting in what Border Patrol personnel have called the most secure border in their lifetimes, removed four (if I recall correctly) regulations for every new one. Off the top of my head; not complete, I'm sure. Cue the insult from Vonu:
@LW, Respectfully, this @V--- provocateur can extract valuable energy you could expend productively elsewhere? Might raise hackles but, in the spirit of Naomi Wolf's advice don't take the bait? Preserve your sanity -? 2Ā¢
šLove it, thank you. I may have myself given the benefit of the doubt for one post too many LOL But I knew sane minds like yours would see it all clearly.
Hang in there. Easy to miss the signs if you have no direct experience with crazy makers. Maybe you do? Maybe you know there is no reasoning with them: it's impossible. Their existence depends on creating conflict. It can be subtle at first to the inexperienced, which is where benefit of the doubt creeps in. Yeaaah, well, you started to see the devolution. You're a veteran now! Not engaging/walking away is the best way to stay centered and preserve sanity. Other, higher "callings" await. š
She had a great conversation with Peter Navarro recently supposedly talking about his new book but she kind of hijacked the interview. Bless him Peter N let her take the conversation in the campaign messaging direction.
he was genuinely interested in trying to understand from a male brain that womenās issues need to be spoken about differently. It woke me up about the approaches we should use. truth is on conservative and libertarian side we do ourselves a disfavor by not using that kind of messaging.
Maybe it's not a big deal, but I think Wolf might have her facts wrong. She calls Shanahan a "tech founder." My understanding is she married a Silicon Valley hedge fund guy, cheated on him, and divorced him in a year. Then she married Brin (Google co-founder), divorced him in three years and is living off the $100 million in the pre-nup. Now she's shacking up with one of the early Bitcoin people. I'd have my reservations about her scruples.
Understood. It takes some listening and effort to believe in her legitimacy. Look at Jeffās comment on herā¦heās very favorable.
And yes sheās a tech founderā¦how sheās met and been around all those folks. Probably doesnāt matterā¦but if you wanted some links to interviews with her, could provide..lmk.
Btw, just received the announcement that RFK Jr will be addressing the nation tomorrow at 11 AM PT from Phoenix AZ.
"...If they do join forces, the last reason I believe this alliance will be unstoppable, does have to do with personal qualities. President Trump, whatever you may think of him, is a brave man. July 13 2024 revealed that more starkly than ever. RFK Jr is a brave man. Just to step outside to attend an event every day, given his familyās history and the dearth of Secret Service engineered by the murderous Biden regime, takes unbelievable personal courage. RFK Jr has already shown he will face almost any attack in order to do the right things for public health, for liberty, for our country.
And whatever you may think of the other side ā they are not personally brave people. With a show of real moral and grassroots force, from this alliance, they will crumple.
āFor we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.ā Ephesians 6:12. "
Iām excited about the RFK Jr endorsement! For one, I think it affirms many peopleās sense that RFK, while politically and ideologically liberal, is also a man of principle and, like you said, for the reasons you stated, exceedingly brave. He also knows the deep state. Like, seeing the whites of their eyes kind of know - but isnāt one of them. One of the ruling elite, perhaps. But he still hates those who killed his dad and uncle and (probably) nephew/niece-in-law. I think he could have a net positive effect both on the election and on our nation in a support role.
I just hope he stays alive to make his endorsement, and of course well beyond.
I agree with Tim. Israel controls our Congress (three minutes of thunderous applause when Bibi entered Congress a few weeks ago, followed by 58 standing ovations from both sides of the aisleā¦ Who gets that?).
Best we can hope for is Trump wonāt accede to š®š± demands, but his recent acceptance of $100M from Miriam Adelson ā which purportedly is based on Israel being allowed to annex the West Bank) is deeply disturbing.
Let's just agree that he would be less viable (generally as a political candidate) if he alienated AIPAC, their supporters and donors. I don't like it either, but to deny the reality isn't helpful either.
In her Substack, she notes that RFK/Shanahan pulls votes from Harris/Walz. Why would we believe that those votes wonāt go back to Harris/Walz? Iām not 100% convinced that the endorsement of Trump/Vance would be enough to sway those votes that way. One of the reasons people like RFK/Shanahan is because of medical freedom, but another reason is because they didnāt like the choice of a Trump/Biden matchup again. Now that Biden has dropped out, Harris is the fresh face they were looking for, even though her policies would decimate the middle class. These are the same people who voted āblue no matter whoā in 2020 because they have zero standards on who should run this country as long as they had a āDā next to their name.
I think Nicole Shanahan expressed concern that they pull more votes from Trump, hence the decision between forming a new party or pulling out of the race and supporting Trump, to prevent a Kamala/Walz win. It appears they think they could throw the race to K/W if they don't pull out.
That's where I'm at. I'm sick of playing their game and voting for the lesser of 2 evils. The lesser is getting darker and darker as time goes on, and I'm at the point that my conscience will not let me vote for either side - each supporting evils I find abhorrent. Is there not a single politician who truly loves America and its people? Most of all, I grieve about all the foreign wars our politicians give so generously to with our taxes, wars that destroy countries and kill thousands and thousands of innocents.
I have come to the conclusion that my single vote will never make any difference so why worry about it? So I have decided not to worry about it and just relax and enjoy the show. I am nothing more than a fan at a baseball game enjoying yelling at the umpire. At some point unknown, the country will reach a watershed and the herd will be triggered. When that herd moves, everyone standing in their way will perish. Until the Empire collapses, the game goes on and then suddenly - BAM.
I'm not being a defeatist. I'm just trying to appreciate the view the King of kings has from His throne knowing that He sets all the rules and consequences which He metes out in His time. But I do like to throw out a few prophetic warnings from His Law.
I love this response and your stance. It's the absolute best place to be to keep in mind that God is in charge and it's all His play. Thank you for writing this. God Bless!

I am somewhat of the same mind. However, the voting in massive numbers in 2020 did more to expose The Fraud than anything I did or could do while an official in the Constitution Party. So, voting did have some value after all, ironies of ironies.
I read this article by the amazing Naomi Wolf yesterday and I got chills-whole body chills-just imagining the possibility! I agree that this is how we win and prevent the complete takeover of America. I felt hope spring anew in my heart; c&c definitely take a moment to read this one today as well.
Naomi certainly laid out a vision for sure. The GOP needs a culture shift, a make-over of sorts, and with the right messaging could be a formidable force in getting the right people in office for years to come.
On that note, Iām fired up to get my not-so-exciting day started on the right foot. Onward and upward!
I've admired RFK Jr for a long time as my son suffered severe adverse reactions as a toddler from vaccines. He was one of the few brave enough to state the truth back then, but his seemingly knee-jerk support of left-wing causes (climate change for example) made me suspicious.
Nicole Shanahan has really impressed me though. I bought the caricature of her being a Laurie David type (i.e. a froot loop leftist who happened to marry a rich guy) but now admit I was completely wrong. She is extremely smart and level-headed, and very well spoken. But most important, she truly understands what we are up against. I first noticed this when she put out a tweet listing what the problems the world faced. Most of them were standard populist talking points with one exception. I don't recall exactly the context, but one of the points was being ruled by sociopathic pedophiles (or something to that effect).
I immediately became a fan and became more impressed as I listened to her interviews. Not only RFK, but she belongs in a Trump administration too.
āThere are different kinds of giftsā (1 Corinthians 12:4). Shanahan might make a good SBA director. Wolf would make a terrific policy advisor or press secretary. On-board everybody with a useful talent. Just don't put RFKJr in charge of the EPA unless his sole purpose is to dismantle it.
WE NEED an RFK Jr.-Haley Anti-Authoritarian Tour in key Districts nationwide to support Rep and Non-Democratic Socialist candidates; promote turn out of Independent and Freedom Coalition (Non-Trump) Voters and cause 2-5% of Dems to rethink just how BAD Harris-Biden have been and that 4 more years of that is not worth the risks. Colorainbow has 2 or 3 key Congressional elections and could use something like this due to our state's Trumpophobia
Trump would have had become more likely to keep campaign promises than he appears to have become, given that he has been trotting out new reasons for failing to prosecute Hillary, to earn my vote, ever.
That's my complaint across the board. Lots of words but, in the end, no prosecutions for crimes. Words are cheap. This corruption will not end until there are actual prosecutions that result in severe penalties, including Treason.
Treason is defined in the Constitution at Article 3, Section 3, as consisting "only in levying War against (the United States), or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort."
All members of the American military take an oath to "support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; (and to) bear true faith and allegiance to the same."
When the military is committed to foreign actions without a declaration of war by Congress, as required by Article 1, Section 8, Paragraph 11 of the Constitution, that is a violation of the Constitution, arguably the action of domestic enemies.
When a member of the military participates in an unconstitutional foreign military deployment, s/he violates both the Constitution and his/her oath to "support and defend" it, giving "aid and comfort" to it's "domestic enemies," committing treason by the definition given by the Constitution.
Thank you President Trump for stating the obvious and for promising to deal with those responsible, August 26, 2021 was one of the worst days in US military history yet no one has been held accountable. Thank you. Never forget the beloved people they took from so many families.

Agreed. And every single one in that room, including Comrade Kamala, that watched it happen. My blood boils every day when I put on my bracelet of the names of the 13 we lost that day. Never forget it.
Immediately impeached for treason along with Schumer. We must stop pretending we can play nice with wicked people and expect to get things done with only half of one federal branch.
Thank you for listing their names! Never forget them. Dear C&C friends, please print and post where we all can remember and pray for their families daily, and for justice for those in the administration, not just Biden, to be marked for this and brought to justice.
Every single time I see a post about this debacle, I post their names of the 13 young adults who were murdered, and our govt stayed silent. I never want people to forget.
Texas A&M honors its fallen students and alumni with a candlelight vigil where each person's name is spoken and a family member or friend replies, "Here."
We do this to remember them, and to remind us all that they are each still here with us in spirit.
The tradition is called Aggie Muster. We gladly share it with you.
Guessing most Minnesotans would disagree that Walz respects his neighborsā personal choices; I seem to recall he didnāt show much respect for their choices to breathe or not take the poison during Covidmania. Of course, communists donāt even think thereās such a thing as personal choice, soā¦ Still donāt understand why the GOP is not hammering on this more and showing the news clips from the past 4 years.
Colorainbow Governor Polis was on National TV claiming he was pro-choice Libertarian on Vaxxing even as he had a Mandate on State Employees in force...media lets them have it both ways, it's not lying, flip-flopping, or hypocrisy, it's "Adeptness, Reading the Room, changing with the Science", or whatever bullshit excuse. Polis also put infected elderly into senior living centers like Walz and Cuomo and other Eldercide-minded Dem Governors
The two major political parties constitute a bipartisan dictatorship that is anchored by a shared guaranteed ballot access arrangement where both function as a controlled opposition for each other while preventing third parties from getting on the ballot to compete with both of them.
Completely off topic, but your boat metaphor reminded me: our family watched the 2023 movie "Boys in the Boat." I highly recommend it. I know many may be weary given it was released within the last year and given that it was directed by George Clooney of all people, but it is the dramatization of the 1936 University of Washington crew team's journey to the Olympics. Honestly - not a single woke message in the whole thing. Just straight up inspirational story telling.
As we walked out of the theater when we watched it the first time, a complete stranger to my hubby & me, gushed "Oh wow!! This was great!! But have you read the book!?" We replied that we hadn't. I'm certain, as your friend mentioned, the book is even better. š
Similarly, if you havenāt read the book āSeabiscuitā - and I LOVE the movie, well, the book is an 11 out of 10! š
re: "Of course, communists donāt even think thereās such a thing as personal choice". Sure they do. Killing babies in the womb & choosing one's gender. Really important "rights" that help their agenda to destroy the fabric of Western Civilization.
Yes, I am, and Iām aware China changed it after 35 years ā but not because they recognized the legitimacy of individualsā personal choices. I agree with you, the policy ended because it no longer supports the āgreater goodā as the communist rulers define it. The greater-good idea is what allowed such an atrocious policy to take hold in the first place, and I can see it happening in the West or anywhere that people just blithely accept Marxist ideas without recognizing the implications.
Are you referring to the one child policy in China? China actually changed the policy in 2015. But China is in the East. I wouldn't call it part of Western Civilization, although the West has definitely had an impact on Chinese civilization and culture, especially in recent years. Communism has never been about freedom. About personal choice. Unless it serves the greater Cause.
Agree times infinityā¦ also like the commie cackler, tampon tim used lawfare against innocent people who disagreed with him using his inhumane covid policies. That should be debate talking points for Trump when Kamala claims she is for law and order, and he is a ācriminal.ā Commie Kamala has a history of using lawfare against innocent people in California (in addition to the FJB administration), for example (canāt remember his name) the guy who exposed planned parenthood seeking baby parts, and many more.
There was plenty in my state, and i think the GOP was (and is) way less likely to interfere at the federal level with the states and localities opening things up. I also think they would have eased restrictions sooner at the federal level and not coddled the covidians still clinging to their masks and demanding every man/woman/child be injected in order to participate in public life. Neither party was blameless, but I believe we all fare better when the people in charge at least believe there is such a thing as private life, personal choice, and personal responsibility, and that we and our children donāt belong to the state. That is the opposite of most Demsā worldview.
Your comment reminded me of the tests teachers used to hand out and clearly told the students to read the instructions and the first instruction was to sign your name and turn your paper in without completing the questions. š
law school was there (Democrat) and sent Vivek a picture of a guy with a Vivek 2024 hat on, signs, and apparently a sign listing Kamalaās failures as VP.
Elon did an instant presidential instant poll on X yesterday. Over 4 million responses. 75% Trump . 25% Harris. Musk has a very diverse following. I donāt think MAGA has X bots to respond.
Wow. Kind of funny though all the bikers at Sturgis boycotted the Budweiser tent because of the Bud light thing. Little did they know they should have been boycotting their own bikes. George Carlin did a skit about the āpussification of the american male in the form of Harley Davidson theme restaurantsā in one of his standups. You can find it on the web Iām sure. If he was only still alive to see this oneā¦
This is EXACTLY right.. they have no plan except 'I'm not Trump"
"Fake conservative David Brooks, whoās already endorsed the Cackler, was frustrated by the lack of substance at the Convention, warning āDemocrats are making a big mistake by not talking more about how to create a growing economy, which is the No. 1 issue on votersā minds.ā David noted, as I have, that āthis was another night when they seemed to have nothing to say about it.ā
Luc, they have nothing to say since there is no plan or platform beyond LGBTQwhatever, "racism", DEI, emotional responses, and "everything will be great when Trump is gone." When I ask people what the Democratic platform is, they can't say!
They can always refuse to take deductions or volunteer to pay extra taxes! No law against that! š¬ But of course, they wonāt. Because itās all about virtue signaling and they will always do everything they can to pay as little as possible.
And consider how & when the Obamas acquired their billions. How many properties do they own now, since he left office? I imaging FJB shared some of his take with his former (current) boss.
šTo follow up on Jeffās point āFinally, sometimes a little truth breaks out in the most unexpected places,ā the militarydotcom newsletter I receive daily had this headline today: āRetired Marine General Found Dead at Twentynine Palms Died of Natural Causes, Autopsy Shows,ā HOWEVER, it went on to report these pieces of info:
ā¢After not checking out of his room at the hotelās usual time, 11am, staff entered and found him. Paramedics were called to the scene, no resuscitation efforts were made, and having been on base for a CoC Ceremony the day before, he was pronounced dead at the scene, 1:39pm on June 29th.
ā¢āThe San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department coroner, found that a blood clot, also known as a deep vein thrombosis, in Mullen's left leg dislodged and traveled to his lungs, blocking the left and right sides of his pulmonary arteries, a condition also known as a pulmonary embolism.ā
ā¢ āThe report, which included a document titled "coroner investigation," noted that Mullen's bags were packed and organized "as if he was leaving the premises."ā
ā¢ āThe autopsy noted that Mullen did not have a diagnosed medical history, but had been to a doctor prior to his death due to "some lung issues" and a bad cough, the report said, citing his next of kin. The doctor cleared him but prescribed an inhaler after "he had been unable to breathe properly," the autopsy said.ā
This is so sad. We were told many would die 3-5 years. We are at 3.5 years now. Four of my son's classmates with whom he graduated now have no father. All died in the past 3 years and were late 40's-early 50's. He had about 250 in his graduating class. Three HA and 1 from cancer within 4 days of diagnosis.

I'm retired. Every day is Saturday.
Yes to no more clocks, calendars, and Zoom calls. A guy found out I was retired and said, āRetired people tell me theyāre now busier than ever." I had to admit, "Nope. I don't have that problem.ā God is good.
I always say Iām as busy as I want to be. š
It just takes us longer to do stuff.
This is most definitely the truth š
I think a lot of people are old enough to retire, but they canāt financially. More and more I hear them saying, āI have to work to have purpose in my life.ā āOr, retired people are busier than when they were working.ā
I think theyāre comforted by thinking that way. But itās so sad, because retirement is so wonderful.
I retired in 2021, my husband died in 2022, it's 2024 and I'm still figuring it all out day by day! But praise the Lord I am breathing and getting to read C&C every day! My heart breaks for those who still have to work at my age (70) and I give thanks to my Lord who meets my needs daily!
I'm retired and have so many projects going on. I love it. The only thing I miss about working is work friends. For an introvert, I was great at making work friends. I could interact as much or as little as I wanted, and then happily go back to my lair, alone.
Been retired 20 years. I always say, I have nothing to do and all day to do it. š
From Calvin and Hobbes (Bill Watterson); āThereās never enough time to do all the nothing you want to do.ā I feel this way, when I finally turn in late at night.
From my earliest years, I was pried out of bed around 5:00 a.m. My folks were very devout Pentecostal church goers and we probably averaged 5 nights a week of being out late. Sometimes very late. (We never missed a revival or any sort of meeting within driving distance- no matter how old and prone to flat tires and engine failures our old vehicle might be.)
This sleep deprivation lasted almost my entire adult life, what with a household of four children and a child-like husband to care for, while maintaining a career
So, my great joy now is to sleep until I awake naturally. And have nothing planned.
"child-like husband"....I have one of those....lol
Kind of makes me wish there was a "dislike" / "sadface" button to express my disapproval on behalf of husbands everywhere.
Guys, don't be a burden on your wives! š±
And wives, be ye not burdens on your husbands : )
You've earned your joy and great that you share it. Thank you.
Some say, āI did nothing today, and it took all day to do it.ā
I was lucky to have time to decompress after the rat race and just chill. Something between boredom and a nagging sense of purpose stirred me up to get out and about, but I found a lot of very, very good people. It's like catching a second wind and not needing to run so hard.
I know some people who can't afford to retired even though they are in their 70's. It is sad that this Harris-Biden economy has ruined retirement for so many people.
God forbid she wins!
It has ruined so many lives. On Nextdoor, people are begging for help.
It is a blessing. In His goodness, God taught me the difference between wants and needs, woke me up to prepare for old age before it was too late, set me among good neighbors like you and our C&C peeps, and keeps pointing me to all kinds of interesting, up-lifting stuff to read and share. It is well with my soul. āI have learned to be content whatever the circumstancesā (Philippians 4:11).
I choose my "yes's" and "no's" very wisely now! Praise the Lord for that!
Retired 11 years come November 23 and loving every moment. I have been so busy but some days I just sit, read my Bible, devote, fix husbandās breakfast and mine. Then sit again if I want. Clean a room. Thankful for what the Lord helps me to do to encourage others each morning with a Scripture verse and picture. Life is worth living!
Thank you, Mr. Childers, again for news worth reading! Iām still amazed how peaceful RNC was compared to what DNC is by your reports!
Good for you. But I've taken a different route. I love learning and being engaged. So I created a podcast that's led to a book series that's led to speaking engagements. It's a passion project that is near and dear to my heart. Whatever spins your wheels, DO IT! Life is short; live it.
Amen!
Reasonable, your explanation is priceless! I'm retired and sometimes pretty busy but almost always I can still find time to take a nap or walk the dog or sit in the evening and read "Jeff." Like Freebird said, It's the freedom to be busy if I want to be.
Willing Spirit's comment reminded me that one of the best things in life is sleeping until I'm done.
God is so good to this retired guy, that He has placed before me as many hours of volunteer work as I can handle every week.
Me too. One rule for Saturdayāstay away from the grocery stores.
And Costco or Sam's Club.
ššš Fact! Tim Walz needs to visit a real war zone on a Saturday in Costco!
I will add when college students return to campus. Restocking Target, Costco, Samās takes a week.
I walked into a Home Depot and wondered why all these people weren't working! Then I realized it was Saturday....š¤£š¤£š¤£
Yes, indeed. I always grocery shop on the weekdays. Fewer people and the shelves are better stocked.
And Sunday! Amen.
Too peopley š¤£
Peopling is exhausting!!!
But Saturday nite is great at the groceria!
Oh, dear God, yes! Everywhere, really.
Iām not retired and Saturdays are usually my shopping day.
Anytime before 10 am is great, whoever picks the music they play gets two thumbs up, I can get anyone to talk with me, no one is in a bad mood and the lines are super short at the registers.
Same way on Sunday, after Church. (SC)
I get to church very early. By the time I leave at noon, I'm always starving. I decided to go to HEB after one dayāno parking place. I left and had a peanut butter sandwich. I will never make that mistake again š
My HEB is about 15 miles down the highway and a once-a-week highlight whether I need anything or not = : )
Lately, since covid, I'll order what I need online and let them bring it to my car. Spending less that way too. I do like to go in however when getting my produce and fresh stuff.
I would spend way less money by not going in. Why would a household of one need a gallon of olive oil? ššš
I could use a gallon of olive oil in about four months by myself.
Well, you still have to compare, don't you?
I retired a bit early after a run of good luck.
Now I can dedicate myself to collecting and posting political memes with no fear of getting fired. This is a great luxury and I'm enjoying it immensely, especially because the SF Bay Area is so intolerant of any dissent from the TV narrative.

At least we have C&C to know what day it is
I have a hard time caring what day it is š
It's a good feeling, for sure.

Nobody likes a braggart !!! :)
Your (retirement) time will come, LOL....
God I hope so. I daydream about being retired every day.
Me too!
This is exactly what my Dad says!
No, 6 Saturdays and a Sunday. Letās keep God where he belongs.

With DNC this week, it feels like Friday already, doesnāt it?š

How about Halloween and Witches Brew? A Freak of the Week contest?
I thought that was the DNC
You are right.
The funniest party last night at the DNC was when some speaker was belittling Trump for saying that the United States was no longer respected in the world. I'm mean, we are talking about mumbling bumbling Biden, Cackle Voice, Anthony Blinken, Janet Yellow, Lloyd Austin, Grandma Garland, a while cast of idiot clown performers. Now, strangely Putin and Modi ... and even Xi, these are taken by the world at large as being articulate, well-education and highly respected for competence.
As a retired person who no longer subscribes to any MSM for critical (?) information (sarcasm), I have come to rely on C & C to tell me what day it is! I may need to go back to my medication dispenser for this reminder!
When a patient is being assessed for possible altered mental status in the ER, the first questions are typically, "Who are you?" "Where are you?" and "What's today's date?" I'm in trouble for that last one.
I would have to say, āDo you have an Alexa? I ask her every day.ā

Kennedy to address the nation tomorrow. Kennedy and Childrenās Health Defense also now can go forward with the lawsuit against Biden administration for censorship.
Kennedy is expected to drop out and endorse Trump. Trump has said he will certainly consider putting RFK Jr. into a cabinet position. Robert Barnes thinks that is the reason the betting markets have switched to favor Trump, more so than the disaster of the DNC.
Did Trump say a "cabinet" position or a position in his administration? There's a difference, and I hope it's the latter. Kennedy is still a far-left liberal.
I respectfully disagree. Remember, some of the far left things youāve heard were stated when he was perceived as a threat to some of Trumpās votes he does not want to cut up children, he does not want to abolish fossil fuels, He is anti-war machine, and is a constitutional and free speech absolutist. If you are referring to the fact that he is pro-choice, perhaps that is why you think of him as far left. I know that is a huge issue to so many people. But the amount of lives he could save all over the world if he could throw a monkey wrench and bio weapons and gain of function research, as well as getting to the bottom of the poisoning of our people with toxic food, pesticides, and drugs, is hard to even quantify. Remember, one of the biggest problems with the jabs is and fertility, reduced sperm, count, and motility, spontaneous abortions, still births and premature births. Kennedy could help put a stop to that not to mention the fact that turbo Is rising like crazy. And dementia and autism. We spent three times as much on āhealthcareā as we do on the military budget. They are also going to try to pull more pandemics on us. Kennedy is invaluable on all of these issues. He has a deep understanding of the science, and the ability to clearly communicate it. That is why corporate media hates him so much.
Yes I would be THRILLED to have him at the helm of HHS and to be able to bring in others from CHD to back him up!! Very exciting times!!!
Medicineās goose is deeply browned, and RFKJr may be the only way to save what little meat is eatable. A (decidedly leftist) news blog (Medscape) dared run the piece on Kory and Marik, and I was happy to see so many truth tellers come out of the woodwork. Sprinkled of course with the occasional, āwow, thereās a lot of quackadoodles on Medscape today.ā
At least 20-1 against them loosing their certification.
Doctors need to band together and leave the allopathic medicine paradigm and all of its Big Pharma controlled medical boards behind.
All of the good medical practitioners that actually heal people have their licenses to practice medicine revoked. Everyone should seek out treatments outside of the Big Pharma drug pushing treadmill that so many people are stuck on.
Iām a huge fan of the FARMacy, and eschew big pHARMa
Same here. I have not taken even an aspirin in 20 years.
I have never had a prescription for a drug.
*losing, not "loosing." (sic)
Losing rhymes with "boozing," which is what I do when people misspell "lose."
Bottoms up!
Retired to my home bar - refreshed my Mule, and listening to America's "History - Greatest Hits" on my turntable.
(I know, I know - their lyrics are almost as stupid as folks who's can't spell "lose.")
Life's good, but imma hafta start reading C&C later in the afternoon. It's unseemly for a man with my gravitas to be drinking so early. Lol
Loosing (loose) is a great word if aptly used. Loosing an arrow is one example. I wouldn't consider it stupid to misspell lose as it is something of an aberration. We don't pronounce close as "klooz", for example. English is a melange of languages and interesting to study. Even close is pronounced differently depending on the context!
"Hey denty!"
"Hey denty!"
I see what you did they're. š
Fred, I read your bio and info on CIA.
Like you, I also believed in the US Gov for decades, and mostly regarded the CIA taking out RFK as conspiracy theory. Your info, if all facts are true, shows so MUCH circumstantial evidence the CIA has their dirty hands in deep-- contaminating the US political system and wrecking our country.
You do not implicate the WEF but it is hard to imagine it is the CIA, alone.
Thanks for the comment.
Had an email exchange with a friend this morning, and told him "[A]s the instant substitution of Kamala (who no one voted for) indicates, the Deepstate's got this and we need not worry our little heads about it."
He's been far left on environmental issues for years. As far as I know, he's never denied that he believes in global warming. Keep him out of the EPA.
pretty singlehandedly cleaned up the hudson and has fought for clean air and water (and food and medications) that's what bothers you?
No. It's his stance on global warming.
Perhaps he's moderated a little bit since, but this was unfortunate:
https://theweek.com/speedreads/445746/robert-f-kennedy-jr-wants-law-punish-global-warming-skeptics
I do not trust RFK Jr. Remember invitees to his birthday party were required to be covid jabbed to attend. When challenged on this, he blamed his wife! But did not change her policy on the required jabs. I'll never trust him.
Doesn't surprise me. Wife is an actress. Hollywood. Ugh.
oh for heaven's sake.
Jabbed or they were asked to test. He didnāt take it.
Source?
Kennedy himself, defending his wife's decision which supposedly conflicted with his own stance on covid jabs. How do you trust someone Iike that?
A marriage has a different set of dance steps and conditions that apply. Some people, I'm thinking of his wife are governed by their fears and perceived responsibilities.
I can just say, those dance steps can be difficult to master but necessary for the harmony of the relationship.
that's from 2015. dont know about you but I've changed a LOT since then. current stance

Im moving toward ethical anarchism more rapidly. no idea if I'll vote at all. consider the government just a branch of the mafia. that said, nobody is going to be perfect. Frederick Douglass ā 'I would unite with anybody to do right and with nobody to do wrong.'
āEthical Anarchismā? Be careful what you wish for. Whose ethics?
mine.
Well, for my sake, I hope theyāre at least somewhat similar to mine.
Good point. If we rise above factions and personality cults, weāll tap into specific talents and passions and direct them to where theyāll best serve the nation. In the right role, RFKJr could be amazing. Maybe he could dice up HHS, FTC, and DOE and return power to the states. If heās a statesman, heāll love working himself out a job.
If we move above factions we have a chance to survive the globalist agenda - they who purposefully and skillfully manufacture factions. sad to see us leaping into their trap
Anyone who supports global warming, or cooling, or climate change or anything else these evil people want to call it cannot be taken seriously. It is a created crisis to change global wealth and power, FULL STOP. The idea that any "scientist" TM can say they have a clue on what is going on with climate on a massive planet, rotating on a weather causing tilted axis, with a sun and moon which has profound impact on it's weather, while it is also traveling around the sun on an annual 550 MILLION MILE trip through the cosmos, and has been doing this for millions and millions of years with all matter of naturally occurring climate change has been smoking way too much weed, hash, cocaine, LSD, sniffing their chemical concoctions, etc etc. These "scientists" TM are like pollsters, liars paid to sell a narrative supporting an agenda.
Climate change has been clearly and soundly debunked more times than brandon has had his depends changed (that's a lot) and kakala has nauseatingly cackled and yet, for power and money, the corrupt criminals will never give it up. And a small number of loud mouth indoctrinated loons support the insanity.
Our world's climate changes profoundly over a 100 degrees in a year in many places in the world and yet these buffoons are going to tell us a 2 degree change in a 100 years will kill off humanity. Insanity and its why fools like AOC and that dimwit delusional child greta "How dare you" thunberg are allowed to "lead" the charge.
environmental issues - clean water, air, healthy soil, healthy food - are where he's at with environmental issues, not on CO2 mania. It could be good to listen to recent interviews with him.
RFK jr has fought against dams. You like electricity and irrigation for crops? He flip flops on abortion and says āmore choices fewer abortions,ā whatever that means? He is for racial reparations which is unconstitutional. How about his anti-fracking agenda: https://www.foxbusiness.com/politics/rfk-jr-says-ban-fracking-10-point-plan-tackle-plastics-pollution
Good to hear that!
Think of this way: Children's Health Defense makes Kennedy the enemy of Big Pharma, Big Ag, Big Food, Big Tech, Big Med, Big Banks, and the other Big whatevers that I'm too lazy to think about.
Kennedy would fit in perfectly with the Trump administration based on the enemies list.
Doctors might be the most important issue, because now they are literally killing us, taking our lives with their tyranny.
RFK šš»is way out in front on that issue!šš»
But Kathy, is he the only one who could do that? Isn't there a principled Republican--like maybe one of our Red State AGs--who could do just as well without RFK's baggage?
Excellent point, T Kosse.
Here is the latest pandemic they're already pushing . FOOD !

You have forgotten RFK Jr's far left climate agenda.
How do you define far left climate agenda? and would love to see your sources.
This is called trolling. Or perhaps worse: willful ignorance of information in the public domain.
Protecting our planet from corporate pollution is actually a good thing.
"as well as getting to the bottom of the poisoning of our people with toxic food, pesticides, and drugs, is hard to even quantify. Remember, one of the biggest problems with the jabs is and fertility, reduced sperm, count, and motility, spontaneous abortions, still births and premature births. Kennedy could help put a stop to that not to mention the fact that turbo Is rising like crazy. "
Long Video on Tucker a night or two ago as he hosted the Means (Calley & Casey, Stanford MD grads) who roasted the entire Medical/Food/Pharma Industrial Complexes. Worth a listen if you're so inclined.

"How Big Pharma Keeps You Sick"
He's really not. He was, but judging by his words he's no longer. I listened to his interview with Elon Musk a year ago or so and honestly he sounded to the right of Trump. At any rate, we do know he's solid on medical tyranny and deep state\CIA issues. His view of gay marriage albeit wrong has no bearing on what he would be tasked with doing in a Trump admin.
My personal feelings aside, and likewise my distaste of ātwo daddyāsā childrenās books, how can those of us on the freedom side continue to want discriminate against gays having the legal protections of marriage? ( /r. I know what the Bible says). Going out on a shaky limb here, but thereās a pretty good chance that āweā may have contributed to at least some of the gender issues with āourā hormone disrupters. And might I add that gays have served honorably in our military for decades, well before this politicization of gender.
No reason for gays to marry. They cannot produce children and already had the option of legalizing their financial and social contract via civil unions.
Yes. Marriage is a sacrament. The union of a man and woman to procreate and bring children into the world. Gay āmarriageā mocks the sacrament which was the entire point. I was for civil unions which was the way to handle it but no they had to go all the way.
And it happened just like that, I remember.
Many heterosexual couples never have children.
Marriage is a legal contract between two people.
It has everything to do with the state, and nothing to do with religion.
There are many legal and property rights reasons for people to want
to be married.
I disagree. Marriage is a spiritual union designed by God and it is the inseparable joining of two souls so that the man and wife become one. This spiritual union actually has nothing to do with government or law other than that the governing authority should be respectful of Godās design and recognize marriage as such. Marriage between a man and a woman is, however, so profitable to a nation/culture/society that many nations protect and promote it through legal incentives/moral disincentives.
Where have you seen this god's design for marriage outlined?
Bryan, Genesis 2:20-24
20The man gave names to all the livestock, to the birds of the air, and to every beast of the field. But for Adam no suitable helper was found.
21So the LORD God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep, and while he slept, He took one of the manās ribs and closed up the area with flesh. 22And from the rib that the LORD God had taken from the man, He made a woman and brought her to him. 23And the man said:
āThis is now bone of my bones
and flesh of my flesh;
she shall be called āwoman,ā
for out of man she was taken.ā
24For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.
How is marriage defined in that passage?
Bryan,
Iām glad you asked! Note, if one does not believe that the Bible is the Word of God, in written, infallible, and perfectly preserved form, then any arguments from it are perhaps not particularly convincing. Likewise, if one is happy to consume some modern paraphrases that claim to be āThe Bibleā but are simply muddy waters, one may not even be able to find these following verses or word studies.
But in the King James Bible,
Genesis 1:27 āSo God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.ā
Genesis 2:20-25 (Fla mom kindly shared); vv. 23-24 being particularly salient to this conversation: āAnd Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.ā
If you go to a Bible app and enter marriageā (I use the KJB so I canāt vouch for how this shows up in modern translations) into the search bar, you can see a host of verses that describe or prescribe the pattern of marriage that God has set forth. Levitical law describes in detail what is acceptable and not acceptable related to marriage - adultery was a crime worthy of death. (For anyone balking at this, to be fair, ALL sin is crime worthy of death: Romans 6:23 āFor the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.ā God assigned a heavy earthly price to pay for adultery, due, I believe, to its extreme detriment to the health of families, religious communities and nations. We can see clearly today what happens when you accept a little immoralityā¦then you are expected to celebrate itā¦then it consumes you and your childrenā¦)
For our dispensation in particular, I see Godās instruction through Paul, in 1 Corinthians 7:2 āā¦to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.ā
I Timothy 5:9 describes a widow worthy of being supported by the church as āhaving been the wife of one manā, I Timothy 3:2-5, 8-12 says bishops and deacons should be āhusbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well.ā It seems a simple inference to see that marriage has a hierarchy and a purpose - husbands leading in their homes, and wives loving their husbands and children and obeying their husbands (Titus 2:4-5; āThat they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, to be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.ā)
For women chafing under the instruction to obey your husband - our culture will put you under obedience to any random dude at the workplace but you chafe at the idea of ONLY having to obey your own husband? I think it is an incredible delight to have ONLY one earthly boss and he is the man who sacrificially loves, serves and provides for his family. Best boss ever.
But I digress, a bit. I hope this helped answer your question, or offer a starting place for your research, Bryan. I have to chase down dinner for my kids (thankfully not literally!) so I may not see future responses but thanks for the question, I appreciate your engagement.
No, I am sorry, but all of that verbiage does not address my question.
Firstly, it starts with an inconsistency. In Genesis 1, a man and a woman are created at once. In Genesis 2, we get the crazy story of Eve being created from Adam's stolen rib.
In any case, husbands and wives are mentioned but it is not defined how they were married.
Lastly, how does your god feel about polygamy?
'King David had at least eight wives. His first two wives were Ahinoam and Abigail, whom he married before he became king of Judah. His next four wives were Maakah, Haggith, Abital, and Eglah, whom he married while he reigned in Hebron for seven and a half years. His most famous wife was Bathsheba, whom he married after he moved his capital to Jerusalem. Each of his wives bore him sons, except for Bathsheba who bore him four sons.'
And those same property property rights are protected by civil unions. Marriage is exclusively between a man and a woman.
By what authority?
Can you cite a definition of 'marriage' from your bible.
From my reading, a marriage in the bible amounts to a suitor
and the girl's father negotiating a purchase price.
This would obviously be considered misogynistic by modern values.
A man will never be the "husband " of another man. No matter what SCOTUS (incorrectly) states in Obergefell. It should be overturned on the same basis as Roe.
Why?
Corruption of marriage is found throughout the Holy Bible which is a historical document. The original couple Adam and Eve were the ideal, but over time, natural man/woman became enemies to God. They were tempted to leave the presence of God and live on their own. Just like today, many feel they donāt need spirituality, faith, or an understanding of the purpose of life to be happy. Or is it they are prideful? Seeking truth through God is not easy, but worthwhile because it is strengthening and ennobling. How unfortunate that we have lost dignity in our society.
It is almost like this god is not omnipotent, omnipresent, and all knowing if puny insignificant humans can just live blissful lives doing as they please pretending this great deity is nonexistent.
Fred, I agree with you, our food supply and the products we use are full of hormone disruptors and cancer causing agents. And gays have been in the military for many years, but may I point out thereās a huge difference between openly trans and gay, and DEI hires and promotions, for example, into our federal government that have made a mockery of gay people.
Being gay in the military is really not the issue. The military on the surface is honorable, but I hate that they use war for profit and our men/women as fodder. There is another very dark side that does secret operations/experiments on it's own and others. We know of a few like Paperclip, but there are operations that do horrific things to children and train them to do horrific things too all for research and spiritual satanic purposes in the high ranks of the military.
If we knew how sinister the world's leadership (and entertainment industries) probably from the beginning, is/was, we would not be able to comprehend or handle it.
2 Corinthians 4:4 In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.
Absolutely stunning quotation!
Thanks. We can only put bandaids on the evil.
IMHO, we can do nothing but pray and trust God. When it is time, God will give us the ability and knowledge we need. It really seems we are in the end times so we must guard our hearts and minds until sin is wiped from the earth.
You know that verse that men will pray for death and will not find it? Death is not the worst that can happen and God tells us to set our minds on higher things. God bless.
Because homosex is a disgusting and unmentionable perversion that was illegal throughout human history until 5 seconds ago and should be again.
"The Constitution isn't a suicide pact," said George Will once, back in the day. Yes, let's pretend that all of human history has been wrong, but we're right, and see how things go. No; that's how we got here. They can have medical and general power of attorney, they can inherit, they can co-own, they can live together, whatever; but they're not married. They had all of the above, sans the 'marriage' status, before the terrible Obergefell Supreme Court opinion, but it wasn't enough, because it's never enough, until our faces are rubbed off in it and we're not allowed to express *our* opinions.
He recently said he supports abortion through the ninth month. I hate that about him. š
No he didnāt. He said there should be limits but heās a medical freedom absolutist so that is tricky issue for him. He wants government out of ALL medical decisions.
JFK Jr did say that live on camera. That he supported legal abortion "through the 9th month." That it was "entirely the woman's decision."
After a HUGE public outrage in the days that followed, he "changed his mind." What's to say he won't "change his mind" again once he gets political power? He's not to be trusted. Either you have the moral sense NOT to kill a full-term baby or you don't. It shouldn't take public outrage for him to develop a moral compass at the age of 70.
You're correct. But you've got it backwards - he walked back his statement that abortion should be illegal after viability, and moved to a no restriction position.
To be fair, that was when he was still running for the Democratic nomination, but that's not much of a defense.
I really like RFK, but just propensity to reverse himself is not a great recommendation.
Just trying to call balls and strikes here. Major problem with candidates who "misspeak" and walk it back in the face of pressure.
I always welcome being corrected. But I believe RFK Jr's "whip-lashy" changes of mind and "misspeaking" are even more frequent than you realize.
It's absolutely true that he flip-flopped on abortion from illegality after viability to a "no restriction" policy after pressure from a DEI interviewer. However, within the week, after mounting disgust and outrage from the public, he flip-flopped again. It I find the video, I'll share it.
By the way, I am also a proponent of the Latin Mass. And someone who is thoroughly disillusioned with the nonsense coming out of the Vatican and its anti-Catholic figurehead.
It's hard to describe how completely demoralizing politics is.
I've turned from that to loving the Mass more and more, though, at the same time watching the antipope and the V2 sect with increasing alarm.
Stay confessed my friend.
Thanks for the comment.
Has he walked back this quote from 2019 stating (in the inverse) that he is FOR mandating medical interventions if . . . " "I donāt think we should be MANDATING MEDICAL INTERVENTIONS for unwilling Americans UNLESS we know precisely that that vaccine is going to end up helping them rather than hurting them." RFK Jr. Oct. 21, 2019
JFK Jr did say that live on camera. That he supported legal abortion "through the 9th month." That it was "entirely the woman's decision."

That is not true.
I do too.
And that was in reaction to the leftist Democratic pushback to his earlier statement that he thought abortion should be illegal at viability.
Nonetheless, I'm voting for RFK, even after he withdraws because he's the only one calling out the Deepstate and opposing Big pHarma.
We need Kennedy to head Health and Human Services! I don't care what his other positions are.. they are irrelevant for the HHS role.
The current joker has to go.
I wouldn't say he's far left at all, unless you think being pro-choice, which he is reluctantly, far-left. The DNC has been persecuting him because he has more integrity in his little finger than they do as an entire organization. He has never attacked or insulted anyone - including harris or trump - personally. Most of the time he seems to me like the only adult in the room. And I trust his wanting what's best for the country. If that means supporting Trump, than good for him - and for Trump. I'd love to see him head up the HHS or - hahaha - the CIA.
I, too believe Kennedy is far left. I watched an interview he did where he stated his position on a lot of issues and found him to be too far left for my liking. I cannot remember who he interviewed with and I really wish I could find it. Just like Cackle Harris, I feel like heās trying to appear more moderate in order to appeal to more voters. Thatās just my opinion, though.
He was interviewed on Epoch Times and his positions were far left and if you go to his campaign website, those positions are spelled out. Definitely left of center and the only common ground I probably share is anti-vaccination. I did appreciate his Documentary: "The Real Anthony Fauci." (The system kept changing to anti-tax rather than vax.)
Anti-vax is what we want. He shouldn't head up the EPA because he's been pushing global warming for decades.
He is full-on about making corporate polluters pay to clean up their messes. A clean environment is his priority. He has been vocally AGAINST obsessing about carbon emissionsāthe central focus of the climate change fear-mongers. He believes in ending all government subsidies to industries (including fossil fuels) so that market forces alone dictate the costs/prices of energy, etc.. He's a radical capitalist, not a Leftist.
He was quite radical years ago. Maybe not now:
https://theweek.com/speedreads/445746/robert-f-kennedy-jr-wants-law-punish-global-warming-skeptics
Yes, that was years ago. He changes his views and stances based on new information. He believes polluters are the biggest environmental hazard and he is wholly against technocratic climate change "solutions" embodied by anti-liberty autocrats like the WEF.
Changes based on new information is one thing. Changes because of running for office and needing to create a perception are another.
Time will tell.
At least RFK Jr has positions and articulates them!
Unlike the Cackler and the Coach.
I donāt trust him and donāt want him in a position where he can damage our country any further or throw a monkey wrench into Trumpās administration. We had enough issues the first term.
Far left, yet probably dropping out and endorsing Trump? How does that square?
He offered his endorsement to KAMALA for a spot in her cabinet FIRST. She turned him down. That's how it "squares."
Now that is a lie. He never offered to endorse Kamala and immediately called it out as a lie.
Don't lie about people you don't like. I HATE that phony Trump, but I would never stoop so law as to lie about him.
Actually it seems a bit more murky than that... "members of the Kennedy campaign" confirmed to WaPo and others that he was trying to meet with Kamala to make a deal, but then the next day he posted a tweet denying that he was ever considering it.
Source: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/08/14/rfk-jr-kamala-harris-cabinet-trump/
As much as I've read about RFK and his intractable hatred of the Deepstate that assassinated his father, I doubt this story deeply.
But who knows? Could be.
Could be "his campaign" did it without asking him first. Or "members of the campaign" who wanted to undermine him. Or perhaps he really did for his own reasons, but denied after backlash. I sure don't know the guy to be able to say!
And if he doesnāt choose to drop out and endorse Trump, has he created more of a āTrump-like, but because of lofty principles must continue on, so vote for me because of the nobleness of my sacrificeā perception?
If itās true that Trump has teased a position in his administration and R.F.K., Jr. is out there saying heās been promised a cabinet position, thatās very problematic. If R.F.K., Jr. is negotiating, offering his voters in exchange for a cabinet position and Trump doesnāt trust him for that and says, no, what then?
What if it is a matter of how to most damage Trump; as an inside obstacle or a vote splitter?
The drama has been created. Everyone is watching and waiting.
I agree with you, Wendy.
I don't know for sure. He said something on CNN recently. Probably a position in his administration. Barnes thinks Kennedy would be interested in heading up Health and Human Services which would make sense. People have also mentioned AG but that makes no sense to me, except as a tribute to Jr.'s father.
Ken Paxton should be AG.
Karmy,
ā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļø
As AG he could go after ALL the corruption, in and out of government. Think of all the crony corporatism that has sabotaged the American dream and our health and wellbeing. He could go after corporations AND the three-letter agencies that are corrupting our system.
Unless heās an IC plant, whose task would be to sabotage and obfuscate, always with plausible deniability.
https://www.lifesitenews.com/opinion/is-rfk-jr-working-for-us-intelligence-to-pull-support-away-from-donald-trump/?utm_source=most_recent&utm_campaign=usa
Anyone who knows anything about RFK Jr. knows of his skepticismāone might say antipathy, evenātowards the intelligence community. Let's be serious.
Do you believe everything you hear? Why wouldnāt he seek to create that perception if indeed he is a plant?
Why did he record his phone conversation with DJT, then leak it, then deny knowing how it got leaked?
Anyone can say anything. Itās their actions that count.
I hope his announcement tomorrow is not a disappointment in which he declares that for the future good of government, he needs to push through with creating a third party.
I really hope not.
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2024/08/15/robert-kennedy-jr-today-denies-what-robert-kennedy-jr-said-yesterday/
I've been following him for two decades, so I'm well acquainted with how he talks and how he walks. The "intelligence plant" is preposterous.
I disagree. I may be wrong, but itās unlikely š
Time and actions will tell.
WS, Sundance's 'proof' that RFK talked to Kamala about a Cabinet position is . . . the WaPo. Sourced to a couple of people in the Kennedy campaign, but Nicole Shanahan said the Dems had put ringers into their campaign staff. And sometimes I think that Sundance is Q for people who can somehow read his lengthy tomes every day. He seems to claim to be the only person who knows a lot of semi-hidden esoteric information and how to link it all together into, I don't know, his material.
Iāve read his lengthy tomes since the beginning of the Obama campaign back in 2007. Iāve seen him call out people that no one else was noticing and seen him be correct over and over again. (Mike Pence, for a more recent example, but it has happened multiple times. I think he has a very superior understanding of how government is working now and how the dots are connected.
He does analysis, not ādrive by reportingā. It takes more effort to follow him, but I find it well worth the effort. And by and by that seemingly semi-hidden esoteric information becomes quite clear.
That is my experience and perception in regards to Sundance.
I did like some of what he said about who was funding DeSantis.
Here are some other sources to the story; Fox News among them and the N.Y. Post. There were many, many other links, but I got tired of copying them. (Sorry, they didnāt copy as links from my Notes, but they should be easy to find. I use Duck, Duck, Go.)

Similar, I find SD to be generally pretty perceptive - if perhaps a bit prone to attributing motivations, and not hedging his opinions at all such that the result often comes off rather "black-pilly" (I don't think that's his intention per se, just that he seems like more a "facts don't care about your feelings" kind of guy).
So his takes on the observable effects are good (Kennedy running takes votes away from trump), but his takes on the motives might warrant a grain of salt (Kennedy doing it on purpose to hurt Trump / benefit the IC / whatever).
that's a stretch.
Even the AG has to win lawsuits. Takes time.
Of course. But it takes an AG willing to file the suits in the first place. Most aren't. He would.
I think AG Paxton of Texas would make a much better choice as AG of the USA.
I'm paying close attention to thiis matter and never heard Trump say "cabinet" position. But that is what RFK Jr was peddling in exchange for his endorsement.
Kennedy demonstrated a lot of courage in writing "The Real Anthony Fauci" and telling the truth about our corrupt public "health care" and their bed partners in Pharma. He exposed them all and the proof it was 100% facts and truth is that not one damn person sued him. I'd be all in on him if he would abandon abortion and turn 100% pro life. But without that, it bothers me he would lead a "public health" agency.
I think if he was given very strict marching orders with clear left and right limits and reporting requirements, he has insider knowledge which could really help clean out the deep disaster people like the human cockroach Fauci and the walking crime against humanity bill gates have brought down on the world.
True statement ... and maybe not anything anymore to lose? Like him or not, Robert Kennedy has been a visible voice on some very important stuff.
I don't understand what you are saying. 6 days ago, after WaPo claimed this, he refuted that he was asking for a cabinet position, but asked for a meeting for another reason. Now, one can believe WaPo or RFK JR as they wish, but to claim he did ask for a posittion when it is a he said, she said situation is not accurate. If you want to believe that, it is your right, but it's not a proven fact.
"That's fake news. I didn't ask Kamala Harris for a Cabinet position but I've reached out to all the candidates. I've met with some," Kennedy told guests during his "TikTok Town Hall" live-streamed event.
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/rfk-denies-report-he-asked-position-harris-cabinet
Any person with a personal agenda/vendetta can become single-issue focused and lose sight of the broader mission. RFK Jr, if he is in Trumpās Cabinet, will need to get out from behind the microscope.
Not cabinet, admin. I think he should be Trump's Chief of Staff. Trump needs people around him who are serious people to keep him in line. JD Vance and RFK are serious men. Trump keeps going off the reservation into silliness, like that whole thing with "I'm prettier than Kamala".
He's trying to bring levity to an otherwise terrible, scary potential outcome. It's not silly. It's the need to laugh at the total stupidity and debauchery that is the current dnc.
You need to Laugh.
Trump needs no "keeping him in line" - he needs staff which will provide honest, legitimate, alternate courses of action on key issues - he will make the right decision. What he doesn't need is more deep state operatives and I think he learned that lesson well in his first term. If you think he needs to be kept in line, you've been watching too much MSDNC.
Amen to that!
Hearing anyone talk about having a one on one with Trump, he always wants to hear their opinion on topics, doesnāt matter who they are. I think thatās a good quality.
Read my comment again Dan. "Trump needs no "keeping him in line" - he needs staff which will provide honest, legitimate, alternate courses of action on key issues...". This is precisely what I was saying. Staff providing what you list would be keeping him in line and on mission and message.
No FGB what you said was "keeping him in line". If you've ever been a leader then you know that is far, far different from having a staff which provides recommendations, alternative courses of action, and then ACTS PROMPTLY and DECISIVELY based on the bosses decision. Keeping him in line means he is unable to make sound decisions, kinda like Brandon, Kakala, Obama and all the others run by the global corporate marxists. As you can see from his 2016 to 2020 successes, he ran things remarkably well, and accomplished many many great things for the Citizens and the Country, in spite of having a "staff" of deep state operatives which sought to undermine him at every turn, Pence being one of the many scumbags. You may not like his messaging, I thought it was spot on and exposed the deep state and the government wide corruption for the first time so that the people could see what the hell "our" government has been doing to us.
They stole 2020 from us, they stole 2022 from us and now they are set to steal 2024, Trump is really our only hope to turn it around, and he will, if we can overcome their treasonous election manipulation.
Somebody needs to rein in the FDA and the USDA with respect to both Pharma and food freedom. RFK Jr. has been concerned for years about the dangers of vaccines to children and was against the Covid vax. I think he would be wasted as chief of staff.
What you consider āsillinessā is very strategically done. President Trump does not need helpers to keep him in line.
Are you seriously in a position to offer advice? What are your credentials?
Precisely correct, Willing! Everything he has done has been to expose their abuse of the American People, the true Sovereigns of the country. He will return our sovereignty. I'm not certain but perhaps FGB3 is a never trumper trying to undermine Trump and us.
Everyone is entitled to an opinion. Yours is, "What you consider āsillinessā is very strategically done. President Trump does not need helpers to keep him in line". So Will what are YOUR credentials? I mean really! How self-righteous!
I am able to have admiration for someone who has accomplished what Donald Trump has accomplished in his lifetime. He is a giant of a man. What is wrong with you that you canāt appreciate that level of greatness?
I know I donāt have the credentials to give advice to anyone with that level of success.
There is nothing "wrong with me" Will. I never said anything about Trump's greatness or lack of greatness. These are all things you are manufacturing. You are being very defensive over nothing. His success prior to being president is not at issue.
I will say that I find him not being as serious as he should be right now. This country is in serious trouble. Sometimes I see him as not exhibiting constancy of awareness of this situation. Trump just cannot resist the temptation, many times, to be careful of his words and actions. And this is just who he is.
That is why I say he needs some folks around him who can balance out his tendencies to lose track of what needs to be said and done. He didn't have that in his first administration. He had villains around him.
I can point out one instance in which he just could not keep his eye on the ball. That was when Sidney Powell, Mike Flynn and Patrick Byrne were so worried about Trump not getting good advice on the election steal, that they "crashed" the White House one night in December 2020. They laid out what he ought to do and he liked that, and then the next thing you know he didn't follow thru on it.
Go here and read about it Willing. I think it will change your opinion and you'll see what I've been trying to say. Here's the link: https://wentworthreport.com/2021/02/10/patrick-byrne-how-trump-lost-the-white-house-fateful-decision-day/ ... and that's my last word on this tempest in a tea cup.
It aināt that simple! But do letās be done.
I think he should have Musk in a position to create efficiency in governed like he's doing at X. Not sure it's a cabinet position, but...
Listen to this and follow him.

You have to listen to this! Pause and read all pages. The end is the Best with Trumps buddy Steve.

Maybe Trump would give RFK Jr. a cabinet position that Harris refused to.

This was all part of the plan. But, the real race starts today as Jeff said! She just screwed herself by accepting the nomination last night. Something about the Delegates.
"One of us took 3 doses of the Moderna mRNA vaccine, and the other did not. Guess who?
Here is the devastating reality: it is not a safe vaccine, and must be recalled immediately. Many people are suffering who took it."

Look at all the vax defenders replying to her tweet. It's terrible to see how many people out there are still brainwashed.
Absolutely unbelievable the comments of vax defenders. I was going to reply to the first one I read and realized it was a usless waste of time, there are so many and they are so brainwashed and propagandized.
Some of them are probably paid shills or bots.
You will know how many are brainwashed on November 6
Thanks a lot! I don't normally comment on X but I saw some stupid replies and OF COURSE couldn't keep my fingers shut. Luckily I will never see their replies!
Fingers shut. Lol. Love that
Yes! Same problem here.
me too! LIKE
Lmbo!! Thatās so funny!!
Has she taken the red pill?
Seems like it. Same with RFK. People judge both of them by views held years ago yet don't hold that same standard regarding Trump's past views. People who aren't zombies (most Democrats) change (become more conservative) as we get older. Many don't! Some do
To see current views, go to his campaign website. I wouldn't consider him conservative on anything but vax.
Vaxx-washing; Not a single Vaxx-hesitant Biden Voter would have taken a shot in 2020 or after as they wouldn't trust a Trump Vaccine... BUT, the Day after Biden was coronated by media as winning the Election, and the narrative shifted 180 degrees, THEY ALL WANTED to be the FIRST to get the Virus-stopping safe and effective Shots..so much so that the Dem Media was decrying the "Vaxx deserts" of communities of color suffering from the SHORTAGE of avail. jab juice, and how Unfair it was that all the White Liberal Suburban Moms, their 10 year olds, their embryos, and Grandmas were getting all the recommended doses without hinderance while CoVid was killing thousands of Blacks, Hispanics, Native Americans, and Migrants in the shadows due to systemic institutional racism ( Not Biden's nor Democrats' FAULT ).
Oh those wonderful shots and boosters...that keep on working.
I was at the doctor's office today for quarterly blood work. I overheard the nurses talking. and apparently, just about the entire staff, most doctors as well, recently had covid.
My doctor said that they have been extremely busy with sick people...Yes, it is going around again (south Florida) and being that it is here to stay, Big Pharm will keep tricking and scaring the sheep into getting those boosters.
Aww, come on... Don't you know there's a new and improved vaccine available now for the most recent variants? Don't be the last on your block to get one - they're all the rage!
https://abc7ne.ws/3yNt9Jk
Hahaha..the gift they will keep on giving, another covid vaccine! And on and on and on it will go!
WP William,
Itās crazy isnāt it? Canāt they think for themselves? I understand why the people in power shifted the narrative since it was all about gaining more power and money.
It's as if the Big (p)HARMyA-Political-Military-Media-Depopulation-Profiteering Complex was immediately ushered in to seamlessly, smoothly assure Harris-Biden and ALL Dumbocrats that the "Trump" Vaxxes HAD TO go out with their full throated approval and without hesitation to ensure Operations were unhindered and without a hiccup or adverse reaction. They then labelled all the Election Denying MAGA Nuts as being Vaxxiphobic and anti-science and a threat to both democracy and normalcy and everyone else's health and safety. Could've easily named it: Operation 180-Max-Vaxx
Right on. Many people here have certainly changed over the past 4 years.
You mean 'are' zombies right?
Oh yes totally.
I am sort of surprised that she got the shots because I thought she had a vax injured child....maybe my information was bad--not surprising as I really didn't read much about her other than she supported CHD. Maybe her reason is her own injury...
I took it that Nicole took the shots and tshirt guy did not.
Even he isnāt wearing his tin foil hat, that is a GREAT t-shirt
Wow. Maybe she could be assistant director of HHS.
Why not Rand Paul? At least he's a doctor.
The discussion is about how having Rober Kennedy Jr endorse him and be on Trumps staff would significantly help the vote. Rand Paul, though an excellent Dr, wouldn't have that benefit.
The discussion I responded to was about Shanahan and she is not qualified as assistant HHS. And Trump isn't giving RFK jr anything before the election. He will consider it. Period. I think there is a place for him but not a cabinet position. People tend to get ahead of their horse.
I think her best use would be to harness AI and keep it used for good, and not totalitarian control. She is an expert in this field.
This Tucker interview is eye-opening. We need RFK on health issues especially child vaccines which are poisoning them,
https://youtu.be/mUH4Co2wE-I?si=-RRHQfjKwsIF0na7
Itās better to watch on Tuckercarlsonnetwork because there will be less commercials and no blacked out censoring bits, which they do a lot in the YouTube version.
https://tuckercarlson.com/tucker-show-casey-calley-means
You have to pay to watch on his channel
Actually No! I havenāt paid a dime and I watch most of his longer interviews with ease. He has some specials that maybe only subscribers get, and some are early released to subscribers first, and then available to everyone a few days later. The kinds like these are too important to keep behind a paywall. Heās gracious. And he is doing fine. Whenever I am able to financially support him I will out of gratitude. I just select from his drop down menu āsee allā and then they are listed by most recent. In two months Iāve only ever come across one that I wanted to see that was for subscribers only.
Thanks for the info! That was a great interview and Iād like to watch it again sans commercials.
I donāt agree with everything they talked about, but in a two hour interview that was only maybe 2%.
I disagree with my husband more than that, but still love and respect him, too š
Hope JFKj does form a coalition with Trump,
The Democrat crime syndicate MUST be stopped.
Can I just say how thankful I am that you are monitoring the DNC for us? A (conservative) neighbor asked me the other day if Iād been watching it - he felt like he needed to, to keep abreast of news - and I was so pleased to be able to say I was up to date on it but hadnāt had to endure a second of it first hand š
Why would any conservative in their right mind watch it (aside from Jeff Childers doing it as a public service)? We all know they are liars and mostly degenerates, why would anyone subject themselves to this? What good can come from it?
Human beings are a strange lot in that they intentionally torture themselves with things that make them miserable rather than just turn it off. I will never forget I was on business travel when the Newtown shooting happened. I heard it on the news in the car on the way to the airport. Of course it was horrible, but it wasn't happening to me, it was a thousand miles away, and there was absolutely nothing I could do about it. So I said a short prayer, changed the channel, and enjoyed music for the rest of the hour drive.
When I got to the airport I met my boss there. The first words out of his mouth were about the shooting. He said how he was desperate for news about it and was constantly searching around the news station on the entire drive trying to find more information. He made himself miserable for an hour over something completely out of his control.
IMO, this is the difference between believing God is in control versus feeling like a helpless peon in the universe. People who feel helpless are desperate for any information they can cling to and make themselves miserable in the process.
Don't do this too yourself. There's no need to watch the Dems lie to be "informed". We know their character and that they will try every dirty trick to steal it. Unless it's your job to counter them, focus on what you can control and enjoy life.
Edit: typos
Wise comment - you must have read thisā¦
āFinally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.ā
āāPhilippiansā¬ ā4ā¬:ā8ā¬ āESVā¬ā¬
Think about these things - that bears repeating.
I wasn't thinking about that verse but it's fantastic.
One of the benefits of attending a strongly biblical church (thirty years for me) is that you can't help but being brainwashed (but in a good way) over time. The Bible calls it the renewing of one's mind (Romans 12). After a while there's an inherent sense of biblical vs. non-biblical behavior. One doesn't need to search for a verse to understand how to react to things as it becomes one's nature.
And of course being open to be led by the Holy Spirit is key. But one has to know the Bible to understand if something is truly of the Lord. The Holy Spirit is the author of the Bible and He doesn't contradict Himself. So if one is questioning if something is of the Lord, but it contradicts scripture, it's an easy call.
Yes to all of that! All kinds of rot can sneak up and pollute our minds, so we need to be intentional. āLet the message of Christ dwell among you richlyā (Colossians 3:16). Otherwise, garbage in, garbage out.
Exactly. And the Word is living and will prompt and quicken the heart when danger is near.
ā¤ļøš
Thatās my favorite Bible verse. I quoted it last night at dinner with friends. Every time I quote it to someone they ask me to repeat it. Itās so gorgeous! šāļøāØ But I prefer the KJV - most authentic to original manuscript.
It definitely ranks up in the top 10 of my favorites. The reason I quoted this one in response to Jeff Cās comment, is because itās the one which always pops into my mind when the news of the day or events of the world start to weigh heavily in my heart and mind. Then God reminds me through this verse to redirect my focus. Isnāt it beautiful? āļøš
Freebird,
I have a beautiful vintage print of a young girl in a meadow, looking pensively at a flower in her hand with this same (slightly modified) saying underneath the print. I see it every day. With all the craziness and fear mongering going on in the world itās a great reminder to reflect on the good in life. Fear, anxiety and angst are killers. They will not only shorten your life, but will make it miserable too.
We badly need those lovely (and daily) reminders! ā¤ļø
āFor God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.ā II Timothy 1:7. Amen.
I just canāt stomach it. Just seeing the lies on the local news channels is enough to make me š¤¢. Praying for a miracle for šŗšø
You shouldn't be watching the local news, or any news for that matter, it is propaganda. It's not meant to inform you but to either 1) increase ratings through sensationalism (if it bleeds it leads) or 2) persuade you to behave in a certain manner, usually against your own interests. Neither is good for you, emotionally or spiritually.
We already saw one miracle when God spared Donald Trump's life. I wouldn't be at all surprised if there are more.
And when the Democrats - Hillary conceded in 2016. If Trump hadn't won in 2016, we wouldn't even be having this conversation.
Nancy! It was simply stomach turning appalling. Like some mad clown reality TV show were all the clowns are deranged three year olds acting out. And these people believe this Commie New Utopia crap coming out of their mouths!
The real horror is that the 'other party' is only marginally better, that is ... if 1776 is the gold standard.
Jeff C: at 71, I have pondered this very issue for my entire adult life. I cannot get my head wrapped around it to this day, but you have summed it up beautifully and succinctly. Thanks for sharing.
So on target, Jeff C. Bad news may be unavoidable, but intentionally looking for dirty water to put in our gas tanks will always damage performance. āSet your minds on things above, not on earthly thingsā (Colossians 3:2).
So true! Catholics have a prayer called the Surrender Novena. Once I discovered that prayer I donāt worry about anything. God is in control as you said and I canāt do anything to change it so why worry. I trust in Jesus, surrender myself to Him and let Him take care of things. Itās liberating!
https://catholicnovenaapp.com/novenas/surrender-novena/
Amen
š¤- "Like" (sub for inoperable button)
Jeff C, I haven't convinced you to run for political office, but I wish there were a way for your hard-earned wisdom and advice to reach a wider audience.
And we know the Enemy of our souls comes to steal, kill and destroy. If he can rob us of our joy by lying to us that we "need to be informed" which leads us down a rabbit hole of negativity, he wins.
Jeff C: Hear! Hear! šš»šš»šš»
I rely on conservative media to do the footwork.
Iām just here for the sound bites and high(low) lights.
Good sleep and low cortisol levels are more important to me lol!
I watched Louder with Crowders live stream of the DNC. I'll be watching ot again tonight too.
https://mugclub.rumble.com/
We are watching some of it to "know your enemy". Ugh.
I watched it ... as much as I could stomach. And then abandoned ship just before it went under ... or was that at the beginning. I forget.
So, the value is this. Most of the time I am totally removed from their ads, their Fake Media, their web pages, sites, etc. ... and so every once and awhile a dose of seeing how bad it really is ... is a 'bring home' reality check of where we are. And it is much, much worse than I viscerally feel it on any given day. Worst of all, these people are True Believers ... and you would have to use TNT or nukes to dislodge them from their belief system. And to some greater or less degree, this observation applies to most of the electorate as well as a huge swath of that 'other party'.

Well ... there is the hint in my comment that watching just a wee smidgeon of the DNC Dancing Prancing SS damn near did me in, particularly as to any hope whatsoever of a recovery to health barring total collapse. The only bright side dark side is that this stuff eventually burns itself out (the bright side), but often at the cost of tens of millions dead and a lot of human emotion suffocation (the dark cost). And yes, at this point, I'd move to Russia for relief in a hot second if I was in better health.
But wait! All is not lost. DeWife turned seventy today. And there is eating out today at a prime eatery. And I'll have my exotic and eccentric special for dinner ... fried onion rings and French onion soup, and then down to The Gelato Store for some mint chocolate chip gellato. And it is so good that it doesn't matter one wit whether one spells gelato gellato with one or two 'els' ... or even two 'tees'. Or is that 'trees'? (After three cups of coffee I get very confused!)
LOL
I share your gratitude to Mr. Childers, Esq. for diving on this grenade to save his platoon. The whole thing is an exercise in bizarre demagoguery.
Parenthetically, I managed to stumble upon an article this morning from The Daily Mail excerpting Michigan Attorney General and militant lesbian Dana Nessel's challenge to republicans and the conservative Supreme Court justices to prey the wedding ring from her "cold, dead, gay hand." This is the climate the DNC is actively creating. Yet, even the most staunch reactionaries could not care less about gay marriage.
Watching Nessel in full fascist "Mussolini on the Balcony" mode serves as yet another reminder of why I am glad that my wife and I pulled up stakes and left Michigan for good.
Loving and committed relationship perhaps but a Fake Marriage; why would anyone pull off her ring? like forcing a clown to not wear makeup and big shoes. Wear men's clothes and dye your hair while you're at it Dana the Man-a.
For me personally that ship has sailed. If gay people wish to enjoy the fruits and detriments of wedded bliss, more power to them. I'm more disturbed by the overtly hateful rhetoric (as evidenced by Dana Nessel), the cavalcade of dysfunctional politicians (also evidenced by Dana Nessel) and washed-up celebrities being rolled out to support the DNC's cause, and the harsh reality that there is still a significant number of people out there who share these beliefs.
The truth is that the God of the Bible is anti-queer, anti-alphabet sodomite. And nobody wants to deal with that because you know ... for reason of a fake 'tolerance' being glorified as virtue over that which is tributary of God. Not even the would-be allegedly Christian pastorate in the main wants to say openly, loud and clear that sodomy is anathema.
Christians need to get it through their heads that the Lord who now sits on the His throne in heaven ruling over all is an Intolerant God who will hold all societies accountable to His Law. But Satan does his best as a squatter to convince us otherwise. Read Psalm 2.
Eric Metaxas talks about this in his recent book, Religionless Christianity. Metaxas' thesis derives from his study of the writings of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, who appealed to Christians not to āpracticeā their faith but to live it.
Maybe only the Elect?
My best guess from long observation is that God is not really, really real in any vivid sense in the minds of most Christians. Maybe part real. Maybe part abstraction. Maybe somewhat of an deus ex machina spewing out goodies, benefits, uplifting 'feel goods' ... like a bubble gum machine gone mad awry.
For example! How many folks, and that's if they had the wit to figure it out in the first place, would forgo a profit of 7x or 8x so far over the past five to years in BitCoin for reason of it being a violation of the 9th Commandment ... not to mention other injunctions against the same elsewhere? And with huge multiples of profit down the road yet to appear? Now that is a real tough decision to have to make.
For most Christians sitting in Fake Churches, their god is their comfort physical, their comfort emotional, and add in the twin gods of wealth and of the blind eye, both cauterizing of an hope to wise judgment? And why is this? Because it is very, very uncomfortable to turn pages in Foxe's Book of Martyrs and then put on a happy face. I ought to know because, and as afore mentioned elsewhere, I like gelato mint chocolate chip. And the omnipresent danger in gelato mint chip and other such seductive persuasions as may be thrown across one's pathway is that they can easily trend towards the unthinking habitual and the overriding. It is far easier to pretend the world is what it isn't.
Humanity walks a tightrope every day and knows it not.
You do sum up American Christianity.
Has not life in America been an extraordinary surreal adventure from childhood in the 1950s unto this day in the 21st Century. I could have never guessed at it afore hand.
I also think on our fathers, all of them ... both the fairly well educated and the not so well educated. None had the clue as to the world they lived in excepting outward appearances. Had they only known, they (many of them) would be aghast.
Phil, Psalm 2. Good to review it. Thanks for the encouragement.

Hating the supposedly hateful is motivating to the Progressive policy makers and the voters they preach this crap to as they escalate societal changes and redefinitions to criminalize and shame those who oppose them and their vision for humanity
And it is a 'hate' which turns what God hates on its head. And this counterfeit 'hate' they legislate muzzle-like into color of law.

It was actually pretty funny to watch Cortez "sincerely" seeking to bring the migrant in. Used logic on them but they would have none of it.
Yes! I have tuned in every night, and I think 5 minutes is as long as I could stand listening to all the garbage spewing out of the speaker's mouths.

It was only worth five minutes after it won over all the other "choices" on television?
I was being generous with the 5 minutes. The night Bill Clinton spoke I listened to about 2 min and had to turn it off. Made me gag.
You are confirming that I made the correct decision to not replace my last television after it was stolen in 1987. Biden and Clinton should set up croaking contests.
Thereās not enough ginger in the world to stave off the vomit inducing nausea I would experience watching that real time. Thank you Jeff for saving me from the torment of the DNC.
If I had to watch that spectacle, it would have made me toss up my dinner.

My essay on why only Trump/Vance plus RFK Jr/Shanahan uniting, can win, and save our country. Everyone, if you agree, please get this to the Principals before Friday.
https://naomiwolf.substack.com/p/trumpvance-rfk-jrshanahan
Great essay
Jeffā¦the Trump campaign should hire Naomi. Sheād probably do it for free! Who can get the msg to the right place to make this happen?
What could she do for Trump that he'd want her to do?
She can honestly advise him better on how to speak during speeches. Watch her give fantastic feedback during her recent interview with Alex Jones. https://x.com/realalexjones/status/1823085161509970286?s=46
Her substack is very readable, if long. However, when she interviews people, I find it difficult to listen all the way through b/c of the near-constant interrupting. It may be clarifying but it's also very disruptive.
She doesnāt conduct the interview. Alex Jones in interviewing her. So of course if done well she will be doing most of the talking in such an interview. Itās quite good. I hope you watch it sometime today.

I wrote, "when she interviews people". One example: Were NYC COVID 2020 Deaths False? (rumble.com) November 2023
Where in the hour-long show does she do that?
Maybe you should watch links first before commenting?? Title for interview āNaomi Wolf Issues Emergency Warning To Trump Regarding Ongoing Deep State Coupā
I'm not going to waste an hour watching anything for what it took you less than a minute to type a reference to.
Well see thatās where you show your true colors. Youāre only here to stir s*t. I just happened to have sent my college son that link last week so it was easy to grab from his text message stream to post. It was precisely relevant to answering what you would bill as an honest question, and I treated it as such. But now you show you really donāt want to understand anything, you just want to throw rocks at spokes.
I gave you the respect, you just showed you are incapable of reciprocating. Iāll be on my way now, you have ā¦ well whatever kind of day someone like you has.
Bingo! Thatās Vonušš¤£š
Ditto! But is it Vonu or Voodoo?
100!
Consider yourself duly ignored for ad hominem.
Oh! Did someone commit a crime?
She can cure his spasmodic dysphonia?
You said Trump, not RFKJr.
Could she make Trump keep his campaign promises?
You mean, like he did, for the most part, the first time around? We were all here then, Vonu; we can't be fooled into thinking he didn't. Most politicians forget they ever said such things, whereas, though he was my last choice of Republican candidates in 2016, I became an enthusiastic supporter - no new wars, progress in the existing ones, Abraham Accords, moved the Embassy to Jerusalem (not an issue I had followed or cared about, but he was the first in a long line who promised that to actually do it), reasonably conservative Supreme Court Justices (the list he put out in 2016 helped me to vote for him, and their presence has resulted in some critically important decisions), did build some decent wall against amazing opposition, good border policy resulting in what Border Patrol personnel have called the most secure border in their lifetimes, removed four (if I recall correctly) regulations for every new one. Off the top of my head; not complete, I'm sure. Cue the insult from Vonu:
The only progress in an undeclared, unconstitutional war is to prosecute all who participate in it for misprision of the felony of treason.
Probably no more than any other politician, but is that really relevant at this point in time?

@LW, Respectfully, this @V--- provocateur can extract valuable energy you could expend productively elsewhere? Might raise hackles but, in the spirit of Naomi Wolf's advice don't take the bait? Preserve your sanity -? 2Ā¢
šLove it, thank you. I may have myself given the benefit of the doubt for one post too many LOL But I knew sane minds like yours would see it all clearly.
Hang in there. Easy to miss the signs if you have no direct experience with crazy makers. Maybe you do? Maybe you know there is no reasoning with them: it's impossible. Their existence depends on creating conflict. It can be subtle at first to the inexperienced, which is where benefit of the doubt creeps in. Yeaaah, well, you started to see the devolution. You're a veteran now! Not engaging/walking away is the best way to stay centered and preserve sanity. Other, higher "callings" await. š
What essay?
On x link in Lara Trump and Jack Poso.
She had a great conversation with Peter Navarro recently supposedly talking about his new book but she kind of hijacked the interview. Bless him Peter N let her take the conversation in the campaign messaging direction.
he was genuinely interested in trying to understand from a male brain that womenās issues need to be spoken about differently. It woke me up about the approaches we should use. truth is on conservative and libertarian side we do ourselves a disfavor by not using that kind of messaging.
Maybe it's not a big deal, but I think Wolf might have her facts wrong. She calls Shanahan a "tech founder." My understanding is she married a Silicon Valley hedge fund guy, cheated on him, and divorced him in a year. Then she married Brin (Google co-founder), divorced him in three years and is living off the $100 million in the pre-nup. Now she's shacking up with one of the early Bitcoin people. I'd have my reservations about her scruples.
Understood. It takes some listening and effort to believe in her legitimacy. Look at Jeffās comment on herā¦heās very favorable.
And yes sheās a tech founderā¦how sheās met and been around all those folks. Probably doesnāt matterā¦but if you wanted some links to interviews with her, could provide..lmk.
Btw, just received the announcement that RFK Jr will be addressing the nation tomorrow at 11 AM PT from Phoenix AZ.
And just about everything else, as well.
An essay NOT to be missed....
"...If they do join forces, the last reason I believe this alliance will be unstoppable, does have to do with personal qualities. President Trump, whatever you may think of him, is a brave man. July 13 2024 revealed that more starkly than ever. RFK Jr is a brave man. Just to step outside to attend an event every day, given his familyās history and the dearth of Secret Service engineered by the murderous Biden regime, takes unbelievable personal courage. RFK Jr has already shown he will face almost any attack in order to do the right things for public health, for liberty, for our country.
And whatever you may think of the other side ā they are not personally brave people. With a show of real moral and grassroots force, from this alliance, they will crumple.
āFor we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.ā Ephesians 6:12. "
Iām excited about the RFK Jr endorsement! For one, I think it affirms many peopleās sense that RFK, while politically and ideologically liberal, is also a man of principle and, like you said, for the reasons you stated, exceedingly brave. He also knows the deep state. Like, seeing the whites of their eyes kind of know - but isnāt one of them. One of the ruling elite, perhaps. But he still hates those who killed his dad and uncle and (probably) nephew/niece-in-law. I think he could have a net positive effect both on the election and on our nation in a support role.
I just hope he stays alive to make his endorsement, and of course well beyond.
Why does he support the Zionist genocide in Gaza if he isn't part of the Deep State?
I agree with Tim. Israel controls our Congress (three minutes of thunderous applause when Bibi entered Congress a few weeks ago, followed by 58 standing ovations from both sides of the aisleā¦ Who gets that?).
Best we can hope for is Trump wonāt accede to š®š± demands, but his recent acceptance of $100M from Miriam Adelson ā which purportedly is based on Israel being allowed to annex the West Bank) is deeply disturbing.
It's abhorrent, and I wouldn't do it, but it seems likely that it's necessary to be a viable candidate in America currently.
His lack of viability has nothing to do with his blind support of world terrorism.
Let's just agree that he would be less viable (generally as a political candidate) if he alienated AIPAC, their supporters and donors. I don't like it either, but to deny the reality isn't helpful either.
Kentucky Congressman Thomas Massie recently outed AIPAC on a Tucker Carlson interview, and his wife mysteriously died a week later.
Anyone who has ever received a penny from AIPAC should be charged with conspiracy to violate the Foreign Agents Registration Act.
In her Substack, she notes that RFK/Shanahan pulls votes from Harris/Walz. Why would we believe that those votes wonāt go back to Harris/Walz? Iām not 100% convinced that the endorsement of Trump/Vance would be enough to sway those votes that way. One of the reasons people like RFK/Shanahan is because of medical freedom, but another reason is because they didnāt like the choice of a Trump/Biden matchup again. Now that Biden has dropped out, Harris is the fresh face they were looking for, even though her policies would decimate the middle class. These are the same people who voted āblue no matter whoā in 2020 because they have zero standards on who should run this country as long as they had a āDā next to their name.
I think Nicole Shanahan expressed concern that they pull more votes from Trump, hence the decision between forming a new party or pulling out of the race and supporting Trump, to prevent a Kamala/Walz win. It appears they think they could throw the race to K/W if they don't pull out.
Harris is no fresh face. She's been in our faces for a decade (or more in CA).
I'm not happy with anyone. What with no Patrick Henrys or Geo. Washingtons ... not even one stinkin' Ben Franklin!
But I reckon you say it right even so.
Yeah, me either. There are no "God fearing" men in politics... and only a few in the pulpits.
As I quoted in another comment I posted here, there may be only one solution: "The only way to win is not to play."
That's where I'm at. I'm sick of playing their game and voting for the lesser of 2 evils. The lesser is getting darker and darker as time goes on, and I'm at the point that my conscience will not let me vote for either side - each supporting evils I find abhorrent. Is there not a single politician who truly loves America and its people? Most of all, I grieve about all the foreign wars our politicians give so generously to with our taxes, wars that destroy countries and kill thousands and thousands of innocents.
I have come to the conclusion that my single vote will never make any difference so why worry about it? So I have decided not to worry about it and just relax and enjoy the show. I am nothing more than a fan at a baseball game enjoying yelling at the umpire. At some point unknown, the country will reach a watershed and the herd will be triggered. When that herd moves, everyone standing in their way will perish. Until the Empire collapses, the game goes on and then suddenly - BAM.
I'm not being a defeatist. I'm just trying to appreciate the view the King of kings has from His throne knowing that He sets all the rules and consequences which He metes out in His time. But I do like to throw out a few prophetic warnings from His Law.
I love this response and your stance. It's the absolute best place to be to keep in mind that God is in charge and it's all His play. Thank you for writing this. God Bless!

I am somewhat of the same mind. However, the voting in massive numbers in 2020 did more to expose The Fraud than anything I did or could do while an official in the Constitution Party. So, voting did have some value after all, ironies of ironies.
Perfectly stated. I agree!
Amen.
I read this article by the amazing Naomi Wolf yesterday and I got chills-whole body chills-just imagining the possibility! I agree that this is how we win and prevent the complete takeover of America. I felt hope spring anew in my heart; c&c definitely take a moment to read this one today as well.
Naomi certainly laid out a vision for sure. The GOP needs a culture shift, a make-over of sorts, and with the right messaging could be a formidable force in getting the right people in office for years to come.
On that note, Iām fired up to get my not-so-exciting day started on the right foot. Onward and upward!
Which one was it?
https://naomiwolf.substack.com/p/trumpvance-rfk-jrshanahan - referenced in the comment string - excellent essay
Thank you
I've admired RFK Jr for a long time as my son suffered severe adverse reactions as a toddler from vaccines. He was one of the few brave enough to state the truth back then, but his seemingly knee-jerk support of left-wing causes (climate change for example) made me suspicious.
Nicole Shanahan has really impressed me though. I bought the caricature of her being a Laurie David type (i.e. a froot loop leftist who happened to marry a rich guy) but now admit I was completely wrong. She is extremely smart and level-headed, and very well spoken. But most important, she truly understands what we are up against. I first noticed this when she put out a tweet listing what the problems the world faced. Most of them were standard populist talking points with one exception. I don't recall exactly the context, but one of the points was being ruled by sociopathic pedophiles (or something to that effect).
I immediately became a fan and became more impressed as I listened to her interviews. Not only RFK, but she belongs in a Trump administration too.
āThere are different kinds of giftsā (1 Corinthians 12:4). Shanahan might make a good SBA director. Wolf would make a terrific policy advisor or press secretary. On-board everybody with a useful talent. Just don't put RFKJr in charge of the EPA unless his sole purpose is to dismantle it.
Someone at her level of social engagement might know something about that first hand by just looking around. And hearing rummers.
It would be a coalition not a marriage so RFKJR endorsement would be awesome.
RFKJR could do so much to undo what Fauci and all have done on the health side. And there would be no mandates.
That would mess up WEF plans big timeā¦ they all should up their security.
I go where Kennedy goes! I trust that man šÆšÆšÆ šŗšøšŗšøšŗšø
A must, read the truth now, pray and be counted
WE NEED an RFK Jr.-Haley Anti-Authoritarian Tour in key Districts nationwide to support Rep and Non-Democratic Socialist candidates; promote turn out of Independent and Freedom Coalition (Non-Trump) Voters and cause 2-5% of Dems to rethink just how BAD Harris-Biden have been and that 4 more years of that is not worth the risks. Colorainbow has 2 or 3 key Congressional elections and could use something like this due to our state's Trumpophobia
Trump would have had become more likely to keep campaign promises than he appears to have become, given that he has been trotting out new reasons for failing to prosecute Hillary, to earn my vote, ever.
That's my complaint across the board. Lots of words but, in the end, no prosecutions for crimes. Words are cheap. This corruption will not end until there are actual prosecutions that result in severe penalties, including Treason.
Treason is defined in the Constitution at Article 3, Section 3, as consisting "only in levying War against (the United States), or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort."
All members of the American military take an oath to "support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; (and to) bear true faith and allegiance to the same."
When the military is committed to foreign actions without a declaration of war by Congress, as required by Article 1, Section 8, Paragraph 11 of the Constitution, that is a violation of the Constitution, arguably the action of domestic enemies.
When a member of the military participates in an unconstitutional foreign military deployment, s/he violates both the Constitution and his/her oath to "support and defend" it, giving "aid and comfort" to it's "domestic enemies," committing treason by the definition given by the Constitution.
So easy to say.
Thank you President Trump for stating the obvious and for promising to deal with those responsible, August 26, 2021 was one of the worst days in US military history yet no one has been held accountable. Thank you. Never forget the beloved people they took from so many families.

Thank you for listing their names. They deserve to be honored and remembered š¢š
Biden should have been removed from office that day.
Agreed. And every single one in that room, including Comrade Kamala, that watched it happen. My blood boils every day when I put on my bracelet of the names of the 13 we lost that day. Never forget it.
Immediately impeached for treason along with Schumer. We must stop pretending we can play nice with wicked people and expect to get things done with only half of one federal branch.
Thank you for listing their names! Never forget them. Dear C&C friends, please print and post where we all can remember and pray for their families daily, and for justice for those in the administration, not just Biden, to be marked for this and brought to justice.
Every single time I see a post about this debacle, I post their names of the 13 young adults who were murdered, and our govt stayed silent. I never want people to forget.

Guessing most Minnesotans would disagree that Walz respects his neighborsā personal choices; I seem to recall he didnāt show much respect for their choices to breathe or not take the poison during Covidmania. Of course, communists donāt even think thereās such a thing as personal choice, soā¦ Still donāt understand why the GOP is not hammering on this more and showing the news clips from the past 4 years.
Or to keep their business open, or not wear a mask, or celebrate holidays with familyā¦
Or setting up "snitch lines" so neighbors could report on each other during Covid. But sure, he's a "mind your own business" kind of guy. Blech.
Colorainbow Governor Polis was on National TV claiming he was pro-choice Libertarian on Vaxxing even as he had a Mandate on State Employees in force...media lets them have it both ways, it's not lying, flip-flopping, or hypocrisy, it's "Adeptness, Reading the Room, changing with the Science", or whatever bullshit excuse. Polis also put infected elderly into senior living centers like Walz and Cuomo and other Eldercide-minded Dem Governors
Such a fake. Such a jerk.
They don't want their behavior during that time called into question, so they're trying to memory hole the whole debacle.
Theyād be better off to face those questions instead of leaving them to he answered by the opposition.
Agreed. They would be confronted with their hypocrisy.
Thatās easy - because the GOP/RNC agrees w the DemonRats
The two major political parties constitute a bipartisan dictatorship that is anchored by a shared guaranteed ballot access arrangement where both function as a controlled opposition for each other while preventing third parties from getting on the ballot to compete with both of them.
Certainly many in the GOP/RNC agree(d).
Because the GOP is in the same boat....just on different oars!
Completely off topic, but your boat metaphor reminded me: our family watched the 2023 movie "Boys in the Boat." I highly recommend it. I know many may be weary given it was released within the last year and given that it was directed by George Clooney of all people, but it is the dramatization of the 1936 University of Washington crew team's journey to the Olympics. Honestly - not a single woke message in the whole thing. Just straight up inspirational story telling.
Thanks for an honest review from a voice that I trust!
My all time favorite movie about Olympics is āChariots of Fireā, truly a classic.
My family describes this movie as "the movie 'Miracle' (about the 1980 hockey team) but for rowing." And yes, I have to re-watch "Chariots of Fire"!
āMiracleā - Love that movie, too!!
Oh my, I will never forget watching Team USA in Lake Placid. Ah-mazing.
That sounds like a really cool movie!
It's well-done, wholesome and inspirational. How often do you see that these days?
Highly recommend watching it. You will not be disappointed! š
My friend says there is a book which she says is SO MUCH better (and she liked the movie - but the book gives more details).
As we walked out of the theater when we watched it the first time, a complete stranger to my hubby & me, gushed "Oh wow!! This was great!! But have you read the book!?" We replied that we hadn't. I'm certain, as your friend mentioned, the book is even better. š
Similarly, if you havenāt read the book āSeabiscuitā - and I LOVE the movie, well, the book is an 11 out of 10! š
Truth. I read the book. Much deeper and more character development. The movie is good after reading the book.
š¤£ Nice metaphor.
re: "Of course, communists donāt even think thereās such a thing as personal choice". Sure they do. Killing babies in the womb & choosing one's gender. Really important "rights" that help their agenda to destroy the fabric of Western Civilization.
So ultimately still not personalā¦ as evidenced by the one-child policy.
Yes, I am, and Iām aware China changed it after 35 years ā but not because they recognized the legitimacy of individualsā personal choices. I agree with you, the policy ended because it no longer supports the āgreater goodā as the communist rulers define it. The greater-good idea is what allowed such an atrocious policy to take hold in the first place, and I can see it happening in the West or anywhere that people just blithely accept Marxist ideas without recognizing the implications.
Are you referring to the one child policy in China? China actually changed the policy in 2015. But China is in the East. I wouldn't call it part of Western Civilization, although the West has definitely had an impact on Chinese civilization and culture, especially in recent years. Communism has never been about freedom. About personal choice. Unless it serves the greater Cause.
Agree times infinityā¦ also like the commie cackler, tampon tim used lawfare against innocent people who disagreed with him using his inhumane covid policies. That should be debate talking points for Trump when Kamala claims she is for law and order, and he is a ācriminal.ā Commie Kamala has a history of using lawfare against innocent people in California (in addition to the FJB administration), for example (canāt remember his name) the guy who exposed planned parenthood seeking baby parts, and many more.
Nah, lots of ppl from MN, especially city folk, still think c19 is something they should justifiably fear.
As a result they are not upset about mandates, masks, shut downs etcā¦
Itās not like they exactly stood up to them at the time. I donāt recall much pushback from the GOP on the lockdowns and then the mandates.
There was plenty in my state, and i think the GOP was (and is) way less likely to interfere at the federal level with the states and localities opening things up. I also think they would have eased restrictions sooner at the federal level and not coddled the covidians still clinging to their masks and demanding every man/woman/child be injected in order to participate in public life. Neither party was blameless, but I believe we all fare better when the people in charge at least believe there is such a thing as private life, personal choice, and personal responsibility, and that we and our children donāt belong to the state. That is the opposite of most Demsā worldview.
So.....Walz was blaming others (unvaxxed) for his problems?š
On the Ruthless podcast this morning, Vivek Ramaswamy said heād be at the DNC tonight, so another āconservative mole.ā
Matt Walsh was there too I saw.
That was hilarious, him lurking in the background with his hat on.
Just saw Jeff mentioned that today, I hadnāt read that part before posting, clearly š¬
Your comment reminded me of the tests teachers used to hand out and clearly told the students to read the instructions and the first instruction was to sign your name and turn your paper in without completing the questions. š
Mike Lindell was there too. He shaved his mustache to go "undercover"... LOL!
Lindell asking that nitwit Harry Sisson if he got his vasectomy yet was pretty funny.
Thatās awesome
Interesting
He also said that a friend of his from
law school was there (Democrat) and sent Vivek a picture of a guy with a Vivek 2024 hat on, signs, and apparently a sign listing Kamalaās failures as VP.
A list of Harris' successes would be shorter than her failures.
Add 'stashless Mike Lindell
https://x.com/VigilantFox/status/1826467386926522509?t=Jh6I2wV2oP4IbKvc1g8lpg&s=19
Good to see Lindell still fighting back. I think he said, "I'm so glad your mommy didn't abort you. I'm praying for you." š¤£
You've never gone to a game to see the other side stumble?
I havenāt, no, but o appreciate those who are doing it now. Iām sure there were plenty at the RNC also.
I can't imagine wanting to go to either of them since I can't stand listening to boring politics on the radio.
Same.
The Democrats quarterback is at her best when sheās not playing. Now that is priceless.
Elon did an instant presidential instant poll on X yesterday. Over 4 million responses. 75% Trump . 25% Harris. Musk has a very diverse following. I donāt think MAGA has X bots to respond.
Yes
37M democrats
34M swing
32M republicans
So Iād say thatās a much more reliable poll than anyone else has done.
The major riots seem to have vanished before they ever got started in Chicago. Ds can protect stuff when they really want to.
Yeah no defunding the police when it serves THEIR interests!! š
NO NO I heard this morning they were "mostly peaceful" SHEESH
They built a great wall, well staffed with renta-cops.

Wow. Kind of funny though all the bikers at Sturgis boycotted the Budweiser tent because of the Bud light thing. Little did they know they should have been boycotting their own bikes. George Carlin did a skit about the āpussification of the american male in the form of Harley Davidson theme restaurantsā in one of his standups. You can find it on the web Iām sure. If he was only still alive to see this oneā¦

You know it! LOL
I would not be surprised if Robby Starbuck continues a long term campaign against them if they step out of line again.
Too late! Still boycotting!
This is EXACTLY right.. they have no plan except 'I'm not Trump"
"Fake conservative David Brooks, whoās already endorsed the Cackler, was frustrated by the lack of substance at the Convention, warning āDemocrats are making a big mistake by not talking more about how to create a growing economy, which is the No. 1 issue on votersā minds.ā David noted, as I have, that āthis was another night when they seemed to have nothing to say about it.ā
Luc, they have nothing to say since there is no plan or platform beyond LGBTQwhatever, "racism", DEI, emotional responses, and "everything will be great when Trump is gone." When I ask people what the Democratic platform is, they can't say!
"everything will be great when Trump is gone."
=
"'Surely, none of you wishes to see Jones back?'" Squealer, Animal Farm..
TikTok influencers, Oprah and the Obamas...that should tell us all we need to know about the substance of Ms Harris and her platform!
IF Harris wants to tax Billionaires more then there are two for sure. Why don't they volunteer their billions to help us all? HMMM
I'm sure there will be a carve out for politicians and cronies.
They can always refuse to take deductions or volunteer to pay extra taxes! No law against that! š¬ But of course, they wonāt. Because itās all about virtue signaling and they will always do everything they can to pay as little as possible.
And consider how & when the Obamas acquired their billions. How many properties do they own now, since he left office? I imaging FJB shared some of his take with his former (current) boss.
šTo follow up on Jeffās point āFinally, sometimes a little truth breaks out in the most unexpected places,ā the militarydotcom newsletter I receive daily had this headline today: āRetired Marine General Found Dead at Twentynine Palms Died of Natural Causes, Autopsy Shows,ā HOWEVER, it went on to report these pieces of info:
ā¢After not checking out of his room at the hotelās usual time, 11am, staff entered and found him. Paramedics were called to the scene, no resuscitation efforts were made, and having been on base for a CoC Ceremony the day before, he was pronounced dead at the scene, 1:39pm on June 29th.
ā¢āThe San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department coroner, found that a blood clot, also known as a deep vein thrombosis, in Mullen's left leg dislodged and traveled to his lungs, blocking the left and right sides of his pulmonary arteries, a condition also known as a pulmonary embolism.ā
ā¢ āThe report, which included a document titled "coroner investigation," noted that Mullen's bags were packed and organized "as if he was leaving the premises."ā
ā¢ āThe autopsy noted that Mullen did not have a diagnosed medical history, but had been to a doctor prior to his death due to "some lung issues" and a bad cough, the report said, citing his next of kin. The doctor cleared him but prescribed an inhaler after "he had been unable to breathe properly," the autopsy said.ā
https://www.military.com/daily-news/2024/08/21/retired-marine-general-found-dead-twentynine-palms-died-of-natural-causes-autopsy-shows.html
It was nicknamed the clot shot within weeks of being introduced. If I, a no one from Missouri, knew that, the powers that be knew it too.
Oh wow š But ABV according to themā¦ š
This is so sad. We were told many would die 3-5 years. We are at 3.5 years now. Four of my son's classmates with whom he graduated now have no father. All died in the past 3 years and were late 40's-early 50's. He had about 250 in his graduating class. Three HA and 1 from cancer within 4 days of diagnosis.
š
Natural causes just means not murder, not suicide, and not accidental (like drowning).
