The media spent a month saying the blockade failed— now they're proving it works; NYT stuns its own readers; America eyes China's other oil lifeline; Swalwell evicted from billionaire's mansion; more.
Why can’t the Times call our President “Mr President” or “President Trump” ? This insistence to refer to him only as Mr Trump is rather juvenile and sets a really bad example for our country. The Times is trash. There are better quality high school newspaper clubs.
He is Our President like it or not, unfortunately like old Joe even though he wasn’t really there doing anything, President Trump is helping our Country, the left hates that he is protecting Americans and our Nation, because the left hates America!
Recall in March Congress voted to keep all sexual allegations private by referring the bill to make it public back to the “ ethics committee.” The protection racket in Congress is horrific. How many others??
Oh, and why should an admitted sexual offender keep their pension? Strip it!!
Right you are Susan, from the very moment Hillary Clinton lost to President Trump in 2016, she set her attack dogs of the liberal media to daily denouncing anything, and everything that President Trump did or said.
This, we have had to endure for 10 years.
The TDS is now a "stage four" disease amongst the most devoted democrats.
The hatred they feel must make them unbearable to be around.
Caught that myself right away. Notice on Apple autocorrect you type President and Biden and Obama both come up and finishes the title, but NEVER President Trump, which again happened when I just typed President.
Those are perfect examples of how we are quietly fed propaganda by the spoon fed creation of these algorithms. I don't know what can be done about it other than to be aware of what you are reading; "just the facts, ma'am?" Or, is it all bullschitt? It's up to YOU to figure out. And that is why so many are so confused; at least those that are unable to think critically, that is.
"There are better quality High School newspaper clubs" could not agree more, personally I think a toddler with a box of crayons creates something more trustworthy than the New York Times has proven itself to be
Oh yeah, once you see this kind of thing you can't unsee it. "Former Fox News commentator", "right wing figure", "Serbian strongman" (that's a few years ago).
It's all subtle slights and framing for the very superficial. I recall a conservative older but very bright still woman I spoke to early in this administration who couldn't believe that a "Fox News anchor" was SECDEF (now SECWAR). She actually didn't know about his education or military experience. Of course the press was mostly concerned that he had a lack of deep institutional experience. In the words of one countercultural gadfly, hadn't "run a division of Raytheon".
It's the "elitist media's" method of a "put down" - but it really only makes the media look like the ineffective shills of the DEMONratic party (to anyone who has HALF a brain, that is!).
It’s a refusal to accept the results of an election like spoiled rotten children. It says to at least half its readers that their votes won’t ever count or matter to them. They disrespect the democratic republic and lose all those readers because of it. They won’t EVER return to the Times even with a democrat president. Shot themselves in the foot with their authoritarian antics.
Once it became crystal clear months ago that the democrat party was only supporting illegal aliens in sanctuary cities because they were complicit in enrolling these illegal aliens to vote for the Democrat party in our elections, a major portion of this country's voting electorate said to themselves, "Oh, hell no, there is no f'g way that I as a natural born citizen will allow any illegal alien to determine the course our elections."
Like President Trump has said, the Democrats cannot win an election without cheating.
It’s the same disrespect as Melania not being invited to be on the cover of vogue. Not that she cares, if they asked she’d hang up and have a good laugh 🤭
Google "New York Times" and "Mr. Biden" (or Mr. Obama or whatever) and it will give you plenty of examples. The articles themselves are mostly paywalled but the search will show you the links and excerpts in which the term is used.
They may use "President" for the first reference in an article, or when it's ambiguous (e.g. distinguishing Joe Biden from Hunter). But in general they will use "Mr.". I get that this sounds like something the Times would do as a petty gesture of disrespect for President Trump specifically, but in this case it's just their house style.
(Also, apparently the "Mr. Loaf" thing is apocryphal, but I hate to stop using it...)
I did that, and all my results showed a plethora of “President” before Obama and Biden names. They even used Vice President for Biden. Actually the “Mr.” was few and far between. I saw it only twice. They have a severe imbalance when compared to Trump.
The reason they refuse to say President Trump is the same reason I ALWAYS DO (it's about the message you're sending) and the same reason I always used a lower case "b" and no title "President" when referring to biden.
ONLY DIFFERENCE, I'M A PRIVATE CITIZEN AND THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE AN UNBIASED NATIONAL NEWS & INFORMATION RESOURCE...so their action just reflects how far they've fallen.
Not when they refer yo other presidents as president or former president. He's the only one they refer to as "Mr." I recall no "Mr Obama" or "Mr Bush" or "Mr Clinton" or even "Mr Biden", even now they tend to be referred to with the proper titles.
If that were true you’d have the same feelings that a president deserves the honor of using his title regardless if you like him or not. I mean people trip over themselves correcting others about referring to a secretary position as “Secretary” or a judge as “Justice …” etc. I think the President deserves the same honor if not more. Mr Trump is wholly UNacceptable.
“But when the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, then He will sit on His glorious throne. And all the nations will be gathered before Him; and He will separate them from one another, as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats; and He will put the sheep on His right, and the goats on the left.”
Thank you Janice. I believe that God uses people to achieve his ends.The conversion of Saul to Paul is evidence of this, and if one does not believe this, then they just do not believe in Jesus and what is said in the new and old testament. I believe that God is using President Trump for his ends, and that believers should pay attention to what is really going on in this world.
Poor goats, God made them too. The Bible is very hard on many animals calling them unclean yet God made them so how could anything God made ever be unclean? Heavy sigh.
Thank you for the link but I don't see it that way. Does not matter if ceremonial or morally unclean. Nothing God has made except for us is unclean and that was our fault. God is perfection and all He made was perfect, even us for a short time.
9 ...Peter went up on the roof to pray. 10 He became hungry and wanted something to eat, and while the meal was being prepared, he fell into a trance. 11 He saw heaven opened and something like a large sheet being let down to earth by its four corners. 12 It contained all kinds of four-footed animals, as well as reptiles and birds. 13 Then a voice told him, “Get up, Peter. Kill and eat.”
14 “Surely not, Lord!” Peter replied. “I have never eaten anything impure or unclean.”
15 The voice spoke to him a second time, “Do not call anything impure that God has made clean.”
Acts 10:9-16 (also recounted in Acts 11:4-10) re "clean" and "unclean" animals:
In this vision, the apostle Peter fell into a trance while praying on a rooftop in Joppa and saw "an object like a great sheet" descending with "all kinds of four-footed animals and crawling creatures of the earth and birds of the air." A voice commanded him, "Get up, Peter, kill and eat!" Peter initially refused because he had never eaten anything "unholy and unclean," but the voice replied, "What God has cleansed, no longer consider unholy." This event occurred three times before the sheet was taken back up to heaven. (source: Brave AI search engine)
Judeo-Christian?... I bet many don't know it is illegal to practice Christianity and preach Jesus in Israel. I've know this for over 40 years. Not much has changed in Israel since they crucified Him.
And his disciples were Jews (except perhaps one) as were the writers of both the old and new testaments. Christians were grafted into a Jewish tree with Jewish roots. :-)
Yes, an old ex-friend told me this years ago. She had family in Israel and just bringing up Christ's name enraged them. I asked many times why Jews do not believe He is the Messiah and she would get livid and literally her eyes turned black and she would refuse to engage. Needless to say, that friendship expired a long time ago now.
Your old friend didn’t know what they were talking about. Jews may believe that the Messiah is still coming, but saying Christ’s name does not enrage anyone.
She is Jewish and does know. I have seen this first hand with other Jews and in Temple which I attended several times and asked a Rabbi about it as well. Many don't want to know, hear or acknowledge Christ's name. And if they are so stupid that they are still waiting for the Messiah, no one can help them. Next. So take your ignorance and kindly shove it up your anus. Cheers!
Trump is the puppet of the banks. They post his memes.
All wars are bankers wars.
Venezuela and Iran do not belong to the club.Iran is outside the derivatives market.
Seen as a threat.
Its banks use Sharia-compliant contracts — profit-sharing (musharakah), cost-plus financing (murabaha), and leasing (ijara) — instead of charging or paying interest
I was interested to learn today that the meme was previously published by someone else, and also that Obama as Christ was a sculpture displayed in Chicago yrs ago without much negative press. All in the eye of the beholder. I agreed with JC’s polite critiques, and look what happened.
Don’t take Trump literally, but take him seriously.
The difference between President Trump’s supporters and non-supporters is that his supporters take him seriously, but not literally. Those on the other side take him literally, but not seriously.
I also appreciated and followed Jeff’s example of politely disagreeing without indignant provoking of others viewpoints. My husband shared a much better depiction of what some other lady had posted on insta portraying a pictorial response of pretty much the same thing the original memes author must have requested. It shows Christ BEHIND a kneeling president who is laying hands in a healing, praying posture. Much more tastefully done. Unfortunately, I can’t figure out how to put pictures in comments! But thank you for your example, Jeff. A new way for me to turn down the rhetoric and try to be more Christ-like. Appreciate the perspective.
I finally realized today I could follow Jeff on Truth Social. There you can make a post and include a photo, meme, or link to a video, as a response to one of Jeff's posts, or included in one of your own and tag him.
The original poster of the meme described Trump, not as Jesus, but as a healer - and if you look closely, the bottom half of the image is covered in sketches of medical personnel, doctors and nurses. Trump truly did believe (and know) that it was a meme of him as a doctor/healer.
Well, as much as I despise Obama, the difference is he didn't have the statue installed. That said, I think the uproar over that Trump post was ridiculous, but it's pretty much the way of social media now. Outrage first, logic second.
I could it incredibly interesting that all the offered ppl were Protestants or not religious affiliated and the least offered group was the Catholics who instantly recognized the robe and sash color. 🤔 AND APPLAUDED IT!!
On my phone, via the app, if I select the three dots next to my own post I get an edit option. But they didn’t always have that. It was in one of their updates last fall. Make sure you update the app.
Although the recent update this month is AWFUL with how it organizes a Substack’s posts, and it used to jump to wherever I left off if I backed out of an article before finishing it. Now it pops me back to the top. 🙄 Why do they insist on fixing what wasn’t broken and breaking it?
According to the Bible, we Christians err in our imagining of what Jesus will look like when we see Him. Rarely do we see an image that is accurate to the text. Remember, even Mary did not recognize Him till He said her name. In Revelation John describes a figure that overwhelms him and makes him fall at the feet of Jesus "as dead." Jesus had to comfort John and tell him to "Fear not; I am the first and the last: I am he that lives, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive forevermore: Amen; and have the keys of She’ol and of death. "
Check out a website on you tube called 'Promethean Updates". They have a pretty good handle on Trump's master plan. You may be pleased and surprised. I see that you are a child of the 60's... me too!
For some reason I find myself thinking about the Civil War. Winfield Scott's cutting off of foreign support via blockades, which was dubbed by hostile news papers: "project Anaconda". Also U.S. Grant. His successful use of sieges, creative ways around, bull dog tenacity, attacking where least expected, deleting of strategic supply chain hubs and orchestration of the entire northern army to attack at multiple points at once. It may be that we do not know the plan but we can recognize the pattern of a plan when we see it.
I never heard that he had said that. I contacted Trey Gowdy in 2012 and even sent him a copy of my lawsuit, with receipts showing that Obama was using a stolen number. I contacted another dozen Congressmen at the same time and never heard a word from any of them.
Shaking my head in frustration. The behavior of our “representatives” is discouraging and sad. Praying for better ones after the midterms, but not counting on it. Still, God is in control and I trust Him above all.
Regarding the Trump meme, I think between his issue with the Pope....and Trump's response to the MSM yesterday of being a "doctor like the Red Cross"....he's killing 2 birds with 1 stone. He's jabbing at the Pope, while exposing the Red Cross....who's been involved in $$$ laundering forever. And who is supposedly taking "humanitarian aid" into Iran right now? Yep, you guessed it...the Red Cross. Timing is everything!
Well I’m Protestant and I didn’t miss the presidents true intent. But I did notice there were more Catholics saying the same things as me yesterday than Protestants. Really interesting.
The whole Trump meme incident was blown out of proportion. As usual, the media and those with TDS jumped on it as negative and blasphemous, when it had other purposes, one of which was to counter the hatred of the Cardinals who badmouthed Trump on 60 Minutes for closing the border and stopping their human trafficking through Catholic Charities. Trump's post made sure that the conversation was started.
And it looks like the Strait of Malacca is also on the agenda. It's between Indonesia and Malaysia and is the chokepoint for 80% of oil to China.
“UK Will Not Join U.S. Blockade of Strait of Hormuz, [UK Prime Minister] Starmer Says” (NYT 04/13/26).
04/14/26: How could the British Navy possibly join ANY blockade?! The ONE ship available in their now-midget sized “Navy” recently left port, broke down, and slunk back into port for “repairs.”
Remember when, a few years ago, the UK was guffawing that Russia’s ONE aircraft carrier on its way to the Mediterranean had to have a baby-sitting tender and tugboat trailing behind it because the A/C was a floating maintenance disaster?
Imagine Starmer as a U.S. President. Biden would have been an improvement.
Starmer always make me think of the Pillsbury Doughboy. Its like he has no bones or muscles in his face. No spine either, unless he is supporting Muslims and attacking the free speech rights of citizens.
I usually refrain from criticizing people's appearances, but Starmer is so tepid and despicable in not protecting his own people that I must share:
Every time I see him I am reminded of an anthropology course I took long ago, where the Prof. had lived and done fieldwork in Zambia. He was trying to describe some African sexual beliefs (they are many and variable, from what I recall) and the one he mentioned was a belief that men who were not thin had a "buildup of sexual fluids" and were to generally be disdained or at least not taken seriously. He recounted the difficulties of a "ruddy stocky rugby-player type of Englishman" in the locale, who constantly was viewed through this lens and a bit puzzled by it.
I have almost never seen a picture of Starmer without these anecdotes coming to mind...
04/14/26: My condolences. On the flip side, someone here today praised Kansas City. Many years ago, I read a memoir by a French author who during WWII had to flee France (one step of the Nazis, who wanted his ass in a sling). His year in Kansas City as a visiting professor, he reported, was one of the best experiences he'd ever had. 400 pages and that's what I remember from the book (aside from a few other things).
I don't think someone who a week earlier drops F bombs and threatens 90 million people with death should get the benefit of the doubt on his jesus tweet. He did that to himself.
HOW on Earth do ANY of us know that Jesus Christ didn't drop F-bombs and threaten destruction?
?????
He OFFENDED the 'F' out of the masses of DEAD ASLEEP people ... to WAKE them out of their STUPOR ... They hated him so much for it that they KILLED him.
Because Jesus is God and speech is sacred.That kind of language has never been acceptable in society until fairly recently, and still not by all. In the 60s and 70s, I NEVER heard that word out of the mouth of any of my extended family or their contemporaries, EVER. I did hear it in high school among us teens.
1.) It is the ANTITHESIS of His Teaching that He is MORE God than you or me.
2.) "acceptable in society" ??? ... A SOCIETY that intentionally destroys Mother Earth? That intentionally poisons its own people? A 'society' that divvies up our Lord's Sons and Daughters into countless castes of superiority and inferiority? ... I have little more than disdain for it. And I wager ditto for Trump. THAT'S his POINT.
3.) Language is "sacred"? No. INTENTIONS are sacred ... or not.
ditto for Trump? You mean the Trump who is busy littering the world with bombs, death and destruction? The Trump that increased production of cancerous glyphosate? The Trump behind the big mRNA push?
When has Trump ever had the benefit of doubt from those that hate him? Never. I do think he would serve himself and his country better if he just didn't post to social media at all, or at least have someone sanitize his posts before they go out. That will never happen, of course.
I had a super busy day yesterday and did not even read C&C or get on socials till late last night. Interestingly, the news I heard while flipping stations in my car all day never brought it up, although I may have missed it. But total sh*t storm on FB especially by some of his more staunch supporters. sigh. Still better than Kamala. Although definitely in poor taste.
Nothing President Trump does, no can of worms opened, is wasted in the big picture. What is in poor taste is what the sodomites in the Vatican are doing to the beautiful Catholic faith.
True. Long suffering Catholic; say I am more of an adherent to the Catholic FAITH more than to the Catholic CHURCH. Interestingly, though, our church was meeting in temporary quarters due to a mold issue and was completely renovated to a very traditional interior with pews, kneelers, etc. Seeing lots of young families, since the re-open, some with women wearing the old school veils and dresses (vs the more casually dressed, me included) and some with 5 or more kids in tow. Does give me a little bit of hope for the future.
as a teenager semi forced to attend these bizarre rituals of drinking blood and flesh eating always wondered in the large family fathers actually believed the nonsense. Used to look them squarely in the eyes.
Conclusion was that they were in a trance like state devoid of reason.
How wonderful to hear that the renovation went in the traditional direction. Young families are thirsty for the reverence that was removed by the modernists. I'm so grateful to God for our reverent Priest who has instituted Latin responses in the Liturgy along with sacred music and the bells and smells of incense. Mass is so reverent now that you can feel Jesus among us. I feel sorry for those who don't have the reverence in their Masses. They don't know what they are missing. Praise be to God!
Did Swallow-well resign to protect his congressional pension? If sat I, he needs to be impeached expo facto (like they did with Trump), convicted and then pension revoked! Taxpayers don’t need to pay this scumbag for the next 30+ years.
Also, who exposed his daliences? The obvious choice is the person who has benefited most: Katie Porter.
If he used his campaign funds for prostitutes, not only will he lose his pension he could face jail time. I heard they are looking at his campaign fund disbursements now…
To TiredCitizen’s comment “ They all "retire" to keep their gold standard health insurance.”
Elected office should NEVER be a career, and deserves no retirement or health insurance benefits, sucking dry from the well of the taxpayers. It was not the intentions of the founders to be a career. A political office holder was intended to serve for a limited time and then go back home.
Only an idiot would think 47 was comparing himself to Jesus, and Starmer is as soft as wet toilet paper.
1] Democrat Accountability = sitting on Swalwell rape allegations and sharing unsolicited penis pics info for 13+ years. Can't make this stuff up. lol. If that’s accountability by your standards…
2] Flashback: Obama Encourages Illegal Immigrants To Vote
And Stamer saying, "... to keep the straits open, not shut,” adding redundantly, “it is vital that we get the strait open and fully open.” WE, he says with a strait (no misspelling) face; you have got to be kidding. That's rich coming from someone who has done nothing as an ally to help nor is able to open it on his own as Pres Trump invited Europe to do so Starmer can suck it.
Swalwell when in jail will be learing (no misspelling) to swallow well. He deserves all he gets. Scumbag.
I thought I read that Gonzales wants to retire, not resign. There's a big difference: If he retires, he gets a pension and health insurance for life. Let's hope it's a forced resignation and he has to fend for himself. You know- like we mere mortals have to.
As far as Democrats and Republicans duking it out civilly: I had lunch a couple of weeks ago with a dear, dear friend who happens to suffer from TDS. She is a retired speech therapist so we were talking about language processing. I mentioned Senator John Fetterman and explained how he relies on his laptop to process questions asked of him and how he is able to respond without aid.
My Democrat friend had no idea who he was. None. She said she doesn't watch the news so she had no clue. Which brings me to my point: How can you have a civil discussion about politics when you are engaged with someone so uninformed she doesn't even know who a prominent senator FROM HER OWN PARTY is? Well, prominent to the Republicans because- face it- he's secretly one of us.
Interesting. I’ve noticed similar from Democrat friends and family - they just seem to vote for whoever big blue brother tells them to. Don’t keep up on current issues and are just a bunch of TDS sheep. Sad.
@Cee- I have a feeling she gets her info from her only a child, a daughter who lives and teaches (and is head of DEI at her school) in Fairfax County, VA. That should tell you everything.
I have a family member who uses the “ I don’t watch the news anymore.” line to not have to engage in any real discussion of anything she would be challenged on. It is sad excuse and lazy for someone as a Christian should be doing their best to be steward of the blessings of liberty and an inspired constitution. I really appreciated JD Vance saying a few days ago that if you disagree that is when you should be speaking up more and communicating w our administration.
@ Lori- like when she said ICE is going into schools and taking kids away? That her daughter's school had a drill on what to do if ICE shows up? And the look on her face when I told her ICE wasn't going into schools, that they were going after known criminals? Like that? (insert eye roll here (________).
The meme was strategic. It gave Trump the opening to bring up the Red Cross, one of the biggest human trafficking organizations in history. A seed was planted. IMHO.
Idk how bad it is out in central/ western ks but here by the mighty MO river it’s been brutal the last week or more and one of the worst windy nights I’ve experienced in a long while.
Wisconsinite transplanted to MO. I love the down to earth people (similar to WI) but can’t stand the humidity! We live in a conservative area south of KC.
I saw the storms that hit in NE Kansas last evening. They stayed north of me as they went east. But today I'm in the area of expected severe weather later. I'll tune into Ryan Hall, he's the best.
What is with the weather?! Storms in mid USA plains swirling like someone put it in a blender!
Here east coast side we have "glazed" (hazy) skies every day - yuk! No rain though - our creeks and rivers are quite low before the summer heat begins. And we have "fire hazard" warnings every day. Sure wish the sky sprayers would STOP! 😕
And here in mid and northern Michigan, wave upon wave of thunderstorms for the last 3 weeks with heavy rains. The northern lower is getting especially hard hit. Another huge round of thunderstorms went through last night. Unbelievable lightning, and heavy rainfall, but not the thunder normally associated with so much lightning. Heavy March snowstorms up there are now rapidly melting and with all the torrential rains, several large damns up there are in danger of being breached. If the damns are wiped out, several huge lake’s water levels would plummet and it would be catastrophic for the summer lake home owners and tourist industry. Haven’t seen anything like this in my 70+ years. My suspicions are highly raised.
Concerning Congressmen leaving - where is Ethics committee on Ilhan Omar, and others - Thankful for all the criminal activity getting to people through X- Thanks to Elon
Said this to my husband the minute they announced his decision to leave Congress on Fox. “What about Ilhan!? If they are all suddenly so filled with the spirit of ridding filth and crimes from Congress …”
Yes, Laura S! Apparently she recently tried to get $1 million added to a bill in a Congessional committee for some kind of treatment center in her district. When it was investigated, it was determined to be fraudulent and the earmark was removed. How many times does this have to happen before she’s removed, disciplined, suspended or something?
Foreign spy status (when investigated, prosecuted and proven) is treasonous. Perhaps even some jail time involved. But that wasn’t considered 6-ish years ago when the girlfriend Fang Fang was in the picture. It’s only now, with more stories (unverified, uninvestigated) that are convenient and sordid enough, that he is booted out of a campaign and a job. The public has a short memory, so he’ll be back this way.
Lori, at the press conference today with one of the victims and her lawyer, Lisa Bloom, they said three more women have contacted Bloom, so the number could now be up to eight victims.
Gingrich, Vitter, and Sanford (all Republicans) — extramarital affairs, pause on political career, then a comeback. When the affair is framed as personal failure, politicians have a chance to resurrect their careers. When it has a twinge of corruption, that resurrection becomes trickier to manage.
It is both a personal and professional failure. Don't care how it is "framed". All must be booted permanently and if there is corruption involved, jail works. Dems are the most depraved. Read the Epstein files.
I think Pope Leo’s and Trump’s squabble is just a bigger problem with the Catholic Church in general. I grew up Catholic and I can’t help but see the Pope’s latest statements regarding God not answering the prayers of those who go to war as heretical. It’s in direct contradiction of the Bible and historical Catholic teachings. It does give credence to Sedevacantists and their beliefs that all the Pope’s since the Second Vatican Council have been heretical. I haven’t worked all the way back through each Pope yet but the heresy is clear with Francis and Leo. That would mean the Catholic Church has been missing a spiritual leader for decades, before I was born. It’s a bigger problem than Catholics recognize.
Oh, we realize it. Believe me, we realize it! And we KNOW Catholic charities was involved in human smuggling. It’s horrifying. Follow Arch Bishop Vigano - Bergolio ex communicated him for speaking the truth !!!
Why can’t the Times call our President “Mr President” or “President Trump” ? This insistence to refer to him only as Mr Trump is rather juvenile and sets a really bad example for our country. The Times is trash. There are better quality high school newspaper clubs.
REALLY though, that is their subtle way of saying he is NOT really a president.
I believe it IS just that simple. . .
He’s certainly more president than their Biden was! If they want to get technical with legitimacy, they’ll lose that dogfight in seconds.
Exactly. Biden was an infirm geriatric hiding in the basement. Nuff said.
25th Amendment alrighty.
Yep! A simply subtle and passive aggressive way to show they're mental midgets. 😂
So they’re saying he’s a king??
Love it!
TDS reveals itself in spades.
Now they’re saying he’s Jesus too!!
Yup, the Once and Future. He'll come back in the future when America's need is greatest.
Lago means lake, I think. It all fits! ;)
Excalibur
He is Our President like it or not, unfortunately like old Joe even though he wasn’t really there doing anything, President Trump is helping our Country, the left hates that he is protecting Americans and our Nation, because the left hates America!
No Class
Oh, lots of class. Just all LOW. 😉
SUBTLE? I think not.
Recall in March Congress voted to keep all sexual allegations private by referring the bill to make it public back to the “ ethics committee.” The protection racket in Congress is horrific. How many others??
Oh, and why should an admitted sexual offender keep their pension? Strip it!!
The Times is not a reputable organization. They show this in all of their reporting. It is mostly propaganda that they spit out.
It’s all mind games! Unfortunately we see it works on those TDS leaning negative Nancy’s.
Right you are Susan, from the very moment Hillary Clinton lost to President Trump in 2016, she set her attack dogs of the liberal media to daily denouncing anything, and everything that President Trump did or said.
This, we have had to endure for 10 years.
The TDS is now a "stage four" disease amongst the most devoted democrats.
The hatred they feel must make them unbearable to be around.
Caught that myself right away. Notice on Apple autocorrect you type President and Biden and Obama both come up and finishes the title, but NEVER President Trump, which again happened when I just typed President.
Ha! Duck Duck Go gave me President GARFIELD!!
Those are perfect examples of how we are quietly fed propaganda by the spoon fed creation of these algorithms. I don't know what can be done about it other than to be aware of what you are reading; "just the facts, ma'am?" Or, is it all bullschitt? It's up to YOU to figure out. And that is why so many are so confused; at least those that are unable to think critically, that is.
And why i am skeptical of AI - garbage in, garbage out.
Not surprised
"There are better quality High School newspaper clubs" could not agree more, personally I think a toddler with a box of crayons creates something more trustworthy than the New York Times has proven itself to be
Well, that's because it's most likely that a toddler's mind has yet to be infiltrated by Marxist/Communist ideology!
Oh yeah, once you see this kind of thing you can't unsee it. "Former Fox News commentator", "right wing figure", "Serbian strongman" (that's a few years ago).
It's all subtle slights and framing for the very superficial. I recall a conservative older but very bright still woman I spoke to early in this administration who couldn't believe that a "Fox News anchor" was SECDEF (now SECWAR). She actually didn't know about his education or military experience. Of course the press was mostly concerned that he had a lack of deep institutional experience. In the words of one countercultural gadfly, hadn't "run a division of Raytheon".
Amen
Their TDS is showing. It's disgraceful.
It's the "elitist media's" method of a "put down" - but it really only makes the media look like the ineffective shills of the DEMONratic party (to anyone who has HALF a brain, that is!).
It’s a refusal to accept the results of an election like spoiled rotten children. It says to at least half its readers that their votes won’t ever count or matter to them. They disrespect the democratic republic and lose all those readers because of it. They won’t EVER return to the Times even with a democrat president. Shot themselves in the foot with their authoritarian antics.
Once it became crystal clear months ago that the democrat party was only supporting illegal aliens in sanctuary cities because they were complicit in enrolling these illegal aliens to vote for the Democrat party in our elections, a major portion of this country's voting electorate said to themselves, "Oh, hell no, there is no f'g way that I as a natural born citizen will allow any illegal alien to determine the course our elections."
Like President Trump has said, the Democrats cannot win an election without cheating.
Encouraging illegal aliens to vote is CHEATING.
It’s the same disrespect as Melania not being invited to be on the cover of vogue. Not that she cares, if they asked she’d hang up and have a good laugh 🤭
Your viewpoint is way too 'kind' to the media, - but it's very circumspect, Juju.
NYT style book, to be fair it's not specific to President Trump.
They've even referred to the rock star Meat Loaf as "Mr. Loaf".
Show me where they regularly referred to all past presidents this way during their precedency and after …
Google "New York Times" and "Mr. Biden" (or Mr. Obama or whatever) and it will give you plenty of examples. The articles themselves are mostly paywalled but the search will show you the links and excerpts in which the term is used.
https://www.google.com/search?q=%22new+york+times%22+%22mr.+biden%22
They may use "President" for the first reference in an article, or when it's ambiguous (e.g. distinguishing Joe Biden from Hunter). But in general they will use "Mr.". I get that this sounds like something the Times would do as a petty gesture of disrespect for President Trump specifically, but in this case it's just their house style.
(Also, apparently the "Mr. Loaf" thing is apocryphal, but I hate to stop using it...)
I did that, and all my results showed a plethora of “President” before Obama and Biden names. They even used Vice President for Biden. Actually the “Mr.” was few and far between. I saw it only twice. They have a severe imbalance when compared to Trump.
Omg that’s funny
The reason they refuse to say President Trump is the same reason I ALWAYS DO (it's about the message you're sending) and the same reason I always used a lower case "b" and no title "President" when referring to biden.
ONLY DIFFERENCE, I'M A PRIVATE CITIZEN AND THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE AN UNBIASED NATIONAL NEWS & INFORMATION RESOURCE...so their action just reflects how far they've fallen.
Really good point
They didn’t call him President during his first administration either! Very childish and passive-aggressive.
I often go with POTUS in an attempt to avoid the infection and detraction of TDS.
Mr. Trump is acceptable.
Not when they refer yo other presidents as president or former president. He's the only one they refer to as "Mr." I recall no "Mr Obama" or "Mr Bush" or "Mr Clinton" or even "Mr Biden", even now they tend to be referred to with the proper titles.
I think I will start referring to all previous presidents as MR
Sometimes even omit the “former.”
No. It’s not. But thank you for showing yourself.
A Trump supporter voted for him three times.
Would vote for him a fourth time.
Of course you are 🤣 Nice disclaimer.
If that were true you’d have the same feelings that a president deserves the honor of using his title regardless if you like him or not. I mean people trip over themselves correcting others about referring to a secretary position as “Secretary” or a judge as “Justice …” etc. I think the President deserves the same honor if not more. Mr Trump is wholly UNacceptable.
Hate has a way of changing one's respect for another's position.
Hate kills.
Yep, and it eventually flows both ways.
Opinions vary; you are entitled to yours.
Mr. Trump is better than Big Orange turd, narcissist, pedophile, felon, or the 100 other TDS afflicted terms bandied around by the leftist morons.
True
So many lying liars here.
Let's hope that The Times is creating their own demise with all these shenanigans.

“But when the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, then He will sit on His glorious throne. And all the nations will be gathered before Him; and He will separate them from one another, as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats; and He will put the sheep on His right, and the goats on the left.”
— Jesus, Matthew 25:31-33 LSB

Thank you Janice. I believe that God uses people to achieve his ends.The conversion of Saul to Paul is evidence of this, and if one does not believe this, then they just do not believe in Jesus and what is said in the new and old testament. I believe that God is using President Trump for his ends, and that believers should pay attention to what is really going on in this world.
Poor goats, God made them too. The Bible is very hard on many animals calling them unclean yet God made them so how could anything God made ever be unclean? Heavy sigh.
Ceremonially unclean is different from morally unclean. This article might help to understand:
https://strangertheology.substack.com/p/leviticus-and-the-fear-of-never-being?utm_source=publication-search
Thank you for the link but I don't see it that way. Does not matter if ceremonial or morally unclean. Nothing God has made except for us is unclean and that was our fault. God is perfection and all He made was perfect, even us for a short time.
Peter's vision, Acts 10:9-16
9 ...Peter went up on the roof to pray. 10 He became hungry and wanted something to eat, and while the meal was being prepared, he fell into a trance. 11 He saw heaven opened and something like a large sheet being let down to earth by its four corners. 12 It contained all kinds of four-footed animals, as well as reptiles and birds. 13 Then a voice told him, “Get up, Peter. Kill and eat.”
14 “Surely not, Lord!” Peter replied. “I have never eaten anything impure or unclean.”
15 The voice spoke to him a second time, “Do not call anything impure that God has made clean.”
Indeed, there is nothing God made that is unclean! Thanks for the verses!
Muzzie pigs don’t believe in God.
I have a regular Texan pig and he's not very devout either
Acts 10:9-16 (also recounted in Acts 11:4-10) re "clean" and "unclean" animals:
In this vision, the apostle Peter fell into a trance while praying on a rooftop in Joppa and saw "an object like a great sheet" descending with "all kinds of four-footed animals and crawling creatures of the earth and birds of the air." A voice commanded him, "Get up, Peter, kill and eat!" Peter initially refused because he had never eaten anything "unholy and unclean," but the voice replied, "What God has cleansed, no longer consider unholy." This event occurred three times before the sheet was taken back up to heaven. (source: Brave AI search engine)
Thanks Roger but Barbls above already posted. Good to know nothing is unclean that God has made except for us and that is bc we FAFOed ourselves.
He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on the left? Liberals are The Left, must be goats. 😂
Ironic, huh. The sheep are the righteous, and the goats are the unrighteous.
Judeo-Christian?... I bet many don't know it is illegal to practice Christianity and preach Jesus in Israel. I've know this for over 40 years. Not much has changed in Israel since they crucified Him.
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/K_rcDW3W5Yo
Utter BS. https://legalclarity.org/is-preaching-jesus-against-the-law-in-israel/
I’m so tired of people looking for things that support their bias, and then posting those sites as fact.
Judeo-Christianity is itself blasphemous. An oxymoron if you will.
Except that Jesus died as a Jew. Without Judaism, there is no such thing as Christianity. Interesting, that.
And his disciples were Jews (except perhaps one) as were the writers of both the old and new testaments. Christians were grafted into a Jewish tree with Jewish roots. :-)
Check Roman’s 11:11 from Paul.
Precisely ... that's the Reformed view.
Yeah, that really doesn't track.
Yes, an old ex-friend told me this years ago. She had family in Israel and just bringing up Christ's name enraged them. I asked many times why Jews do not believe He is the Messiah and she would get livid and literally her eyes turned black and she would refuse to engage. Needless to say, that friendship expired a long time ago now.
Your old friend didn’t know what they were talking about. Jews may believe that the Messiah is still coming, but saying Christ’s name does not enrage anyone.
She is Jewish and does know. I have seen this first hand with other Jews and in Temple which I attended several times and asked a Rabbi about it as well. Many don't want to know, hear or acknowledge Christ's name. And if they are so stupid that they are still waiting for the Messiah, no one can help them. Next. So take your ignorance and kindly shove it up your anus. Cheers!
No. Israel is not Finland.

Deep breath, enjoy this scripture. ✅ thank you.
Yes.
I appreciate your even handed, rational discussion.
I had a similar discussion with multiple people yesterday.
I cannot pretend to know what the President is thinking or his plan. However, I know he has a plan.
That's what we need to keep in mind, there IS a plan, and there has been for quite some time.
Trump is the puppet of the banks. They post his memes.
All wars are bankers wars.
Venezuela and Iran do not belong to the club.Iran is outside the derivatives market.
Seen as a threat.
Its banks use Sharia-compliant contracts — profit-sharing (musharakah), cost-plus financing (murabaha), and leasing (ijara) — instead of charging or paying interest
also did not join the WTO and is not a member of the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), leaving Iran "...outside the long regulatory arm of the central bankers’ central bank..." - https://beeley.substack.com/p/iran-is-not-an-integrated-part-of
Boom!
Yes, since at least the 1980's!
I was interested to learn today that the meme was previously published by someone else, and also that Obama as Christ was a sculpture displayed in Chicago yrs ago without much negative press. All in the eye of the beholder. I agreed with JC’s polite critiques, and look what happened.
Don’t take Trump literally, but take him seriously.
The difference between President Trump’s supporters and non-supporters is that his supporters take him seriously, but not literally. Those on the other side take him literally, but not seriously.
Well put.
Gonna steal that and post it elsewherel
I also appreciated and followed Jeff’s example of politely disagreeing without indignant provoking of others viewpoints. My husband shared a much better depiction of what some other lady had posted on insta portraying a pictorial response of pretty much the same thing the original memes author must have requested. It shows Christ BEHIND a kneeling president who is laying hands in a healing, praying posture. Much more tastefully done. Unfortunately, I can’t figure out how to put pictures in comments! But thank you for your example, Jeff. A new way for me to turn down the rhetoric and try to be more Christ-like. Appreciate the perspective.
I finally realized today I could follow Jeff on Truth Social. There you can make a post and include a photo, meme, or link to a video, as a response to one of Jeff's posts, or included in one of your own and tag him.
What is the group name on Truth Social? I can’t find him under coffee & covid or his name… is it under groups?
https://truthsocial.com/@jchilders98/posts/116403389030384437
WHAA-AATT???!! Good news!
Indignant provoking ? How is anyone magically supposed to know those viewpoints in advace?? Sure we can have more tasteful depictions,
but nothing burgers are still nothing burgers.
Can you copy and paste a link?
https://truthsocial.com/@jchilders98/posts/116403389030384437
The original poster of the meme described Trump, not as Jesus, but as a healer - and if you look closely, the bottom half of the image is covered in sketches of medical personnel, doctors and nurses. Trump truly did believe (and know) that it was a meme of him as a doctor/healer.
As you mention Holly, that was the intention.
What is interesting is the disproportional sophomoric response.
For any interested the word Doctor literally means teacher.
DJT is masterful.
You are confusing people with the facts, the ones that did not result in bunched undies. Righteous Indignation is about right.
Well, as much as I despise Obama, the difference is he didn't have the statue installed. That said, I think the uproar over that Trump post was ridiculous, but it's pretty much the way of social media now. Outrage first, logic second.
Imagine if we had Kamala. There is no way she could orchestrate any of the deals Pres Trump has made. I just love our Pres.
She would be trying to close The Strait of Vermouth.🙊
🤣🤣🤣 coffee spit achieved! Winner!
Or rather, trying to open it and take a sip!
Clever!
JW, LOL. You win Post Of The Day
The Straight of Vermouth ! Good one!
LOL!
Lol!!! JW that’s the funniest post I have read all day! Thanks for the laugh 😂
NONE of the democrats could. Not a single one of them. We need to remember that when it comes time to vote again.
She wouldn’t even know where those countries are.
I don’t think she could clearly explain any deals she made…but she would use lots of words trying.
I could it incredibly interesting that all the offered ppl were Protestants or not religious affiliated and the least offered group was the Catholics who instantly recognized the robe and sash color. 🤔 AND APPLAUDED IT!!
Spell check changes my type SERIOUSLY!
"I THOUGHT IT... The mist offended group of ppl were...least offended..."
“most” offended 🤣🤣
Oh my gosh you have NO idea how many times I have typos like this and then create more in my edit/correction. 🤣🤣🤣
You are not alone. Hee hee❤️
Me too, even though I check before posting. I often have to use the "edit" button for corrections.
Dave, I dont have an "edit" choice in the 3-dots (...)
I did read that the depiction was supposed to be the pope, not Jesus… is that why the least offended group was Catholics? Not getting that…
it is impossible to figure out the offended, they themselves
don't know
ugh…just stop
I guess you must have meant "offended"!! You may consider an edit. . . uh,
TWICE!
I use my phone and there's no edit option. 😭
On my phone, via the app, if I select the three dots next to my own post I get an edit option. But they didn’t always have that. It was in one of their updates last fall. Make sure you update the app.
Although the recent update this month is AWFUL with how it organizes a Substack’s posts, and it used to jump to wherever I left off if I backed out of an article before finishing it. Now it pops me back to the top. 🙄 Why do they insist on fixing what wasn’t broken and breaking it?
Job security. It ain't broke ... they fix it ... now it IS broke ... they re-fix it. Each operation earns a paycheck.
It's the law of unintended consequences. You make one change and it affects other things. 😂
for a more in depth and objective review here is Victor Hanson's summary at American Greatness -
https://amgreatness.com/2026/04/14/iran-a-longer-view/
He’s awesome! My husband’s not so distant cousin. Been following him for a while.
A friend just recommended him.
He always has a great post. Been reading him for years.
As a political commentator he is reasonable, thorough, and well informed.
As good a source as exists.
According to the Bible, we Christians err in our imagining of what Jesus will look like when we see Him. Rarely do we see an image that is accurate to the text. Remember, even Mary did not recognize Him till He said her name. In Revelation John describes a figure that overwhelms him and makes him fall at the feet of Jesus "as dead." Jesus had to comfort John and tell him to "Fear not; I am the first and the last: I am he that lives, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive forevermore: Amen; and have the keys of She’ol and of death. "
that is a tell, could be any person in the flesh...
Check out a website on you tube called 'Promethean Updates". They have a pretty good handle on Trump's master plan. You may be pleased and surprised. I see that you are a child of the 60's... me too!
https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=promethean+updates
Yes regarding child of the 60’s. I am am old Hippie.
: )
you could not have mentioned a better source
For some reason I find myself thinking about the Civil War. Winfield Scott's cutting off of foreign support via blockades, which was dubbed by hostile news papers: "project Anaconda". Also U.S. Grant. His successful use of sieges, creative ways around, bull dog tenacity, attacking where least expected, deleting of strategic supply chain hubs and orchestration of the entire northern army to attack at multiple points at once. It may be that we do not know the plan but we can recognize the pattern of a plan when we see it.
How many people knew about Swalwell and did nothing? How many people heard about Obama's phony Social Security number and did nothing?
@Susan- On Sunday night in America, Trey Gowdy said it was an open secret; that everybody knew about it.
I never heard that he had said that. I contacted Trey Gowdy in 2012 and even sent him a copy of my lawsuit, with receipts showing that Obama was using a stolen number. I contacted another dozen Congressmen at the same time and never heard a word from any of them.
How about pelosi’s severe alcoholism? Been known for forty years. Still drunk by 1100, and never once brought up.
Shaking my head in frustration. The behavior of our “representatives” is discouraging and sad. Praying for better ones after the midterms, but not counting on it. Still, God is in control and I trust Him above all.
Many to most are grifting criminals with massive wealth accumulation.
They consistently vote down any legislation curtailing their insider trading.
@Susan- my bad. I didn't make my comment clear. He was talking about Swalwell.
The Swamp is deep and wide... They knew
Regarding the Trump meme, I think between his issue with the Pope....and Trump's response to the MSM yesterday of being a "doctor like the Red Cross"....he's killing 2 birds with 1 stone. He's jabbing at the Pope, while exposing the Red Cross....who's been involved in $$$ laundering forever. And who is supposedly taking "humanitarian aid" into Iran right now? Yep, you guessed it...the Red Cross. Timing is everything!
I used to support the Red Cross. Now I send donations directly to local churches in the area if I feel moved to help during a natural disaster.
I agree though I also still support Franklin Graham's Samaritan's Purse. They show up and help. Lots of volunteers.
Consider supportring Samaritan's Purse also for disaster relief. Franklin Graham's organization.
Smart move- Red Cross and most big name charities are corrupt
Yes ever since their Haiti disaster showed their perfidy.
Yes but how few see that? Only his supporters. Not all the ones who need to be!
The Catholics ALL got it! The Protestants missed it!
Well I’m Protestant and I didn’t miss the presidents true intent. But I did notice there were more Catholics saying the same things as me yesterday than Protestants. Really interesting.
This isn't a catholic vs protestant issue. Sorry.
I didn't but whatever.
Created with WW l to launder money to the Trotskyites.
Same game now with the drug trust.
Can Blackrock be far behind on the rebuild?
How is what he said exposing the red cross?
The whole Trump meme incident was blown out of proportion. As usual, the media and those with TDS jumped on it as negative and blasphemous, when it had other purposes, one of which was to counter the hatred of the Cardinals who badmouthed Trump on 60 Minutes for closing the border and stopping their human trafficking through Catholic Charities. Trump's post made sure that the conversation was started.
And it looks like the Strait of Malacca is also on the agenda. It's between Indonesia and Malaysia and is the chokepoint for 80% of oil to China.
“UK Will Not Join U.S. Blockade of Strait of Hormuz, [UK Prime Minister] Starmer Says” (NYT 04/13/26).
04/14/26: How could the British Navy possibly join ANY blockade?! The ONE ship available in their now-midget sized “Navy” recently left port, broke down, and slunk back into port for “repairs.”
Remember when, a few years ago, the UK was guffawing that Russia’s ONE aircraft carrier on its way to the Mediterranean had to have a baby-sitting tender and tugboat trailing behind it because the A/C was a floating maintenance disaster?
Imagine Starmer as a U.S. President. Biden would have been an improvement.
Starmer always make me think of the Pillsbury Doughboy. Its like he has no bones or muscles in his face. No spine either, unless he is supporting Muslims and attacking the free speech rights of citizens.
I usually refrain from criticizing people's appearances, but Starmer is so tepid and despicable in not protecting his own people that I must share:
Every time I see him I am reminded of an anthropology course I took long ago, where the Prof. had lived and done fieldwork in Zambia. He was trying to describe some African sexual beliefs (they are many and variable, from what I recall) and the one he mentioned was a belief that men who were not thin had a "buildup of sexual fluids" and were to generally be disdained or at least not taken seriously. He recounted the difficulties of a "ruddy stocky rugby-player type of Englishman" in the locale, who constantly was viewed through this lens and a bit puzzled by it.
I have almost never seen a picture of Starmer without these anecdotes coming to mind...
Yes, I get it. He appears to me to be totally devoid of masculinity. I've seen some lesbians who look like they have more testosterone.
04/14/26: EUREKA! We have finally solved the puzzle: He's the best camouflaged lesbian in London (will this be on the test?).
that is because they do
04/14/26: My condolences. On the flip side, someone here today praised Kansas City. Many years ago, I read a memoir by a French author who during WWII had to flee France (one step of the Nazis, who wanted his ass in a sling). His year in Kansas City as a visiting professor, he reported, was one of the best experiences he'd ever had. 400 pages and that's what I remember from the book (aside from a few other things).
Clark Kent?
04/14/26: Perfect for Madama Tussaud's window display, "Useful Idiot" (Times Square). You wouldn't even need to buy the wax, he comes pre-waxed!
Looks like he got hit in the face with a frying pan.
Wishful thinking …
Permanent imprint.
04/14/26: That poor frying pan!
Why are 450 million Europeans being asked
To defend and help 350 million Americans?
Why are Americans being asked to pay for and defend Europeans?
Who also demanded 450 million Europeans defend 350 million Americans between 2001-2026?
NATO still has missions in Iraq and Afghanistan until 2021.
This admin attempted to defend Hungary and orban. Why?
because Hungary is the only European nation saying no to the illegal invasions...
One hopes that policy will continue, now that Orban is gone.
Why not?
Well since they are obviously low IQ retards it’s easy to understand. Poor Europeans maybe a wall would help like the one around the Vatican.
clueless comment, howz about their total dependence on mid east oil?
04/14/26: "Because shut up."
Who are opposed to murder and genocide
I don't think someone who a week earlier drops F bombs and threatens 90 million people with death should get the benefit of the doubt on his jesus tweet. He did that to himself.
HOW on Earth do ANY of us know that Jesus Christ didn't drop F-bombs and threaten destruction?
?????
He OFFENDED the 'F' out of the masses of DEAD ASLEEP people ... to WAKE them out of their STUPOR ... They hated him so much for it that they KILLED him.
Nicety nice Christians really annoy me. They don’t want to make waves, while Jesus created a tsunami.
Because Jesus is God and speech is sacred.That kind of language has never been acceptable in society until fairly recently, and still not by all. In the 60s and 70s, I NEVER heard that word out of the mouth of any of my extended family or their contemporaries, EVER. I did hear it in high school among us teens.
1.) It is the ANTITHESIS of His Teaching that He is MORE God than you or me.
2.) "acceptable in society" ??? ... A SOCIETY that intentionally destroys Mother Earth? That intentionally poisons its own people? A 'society' that divvies up our Lord's Sons and Daughters into countless castes of superiority and inferiority? ... I have little more than disdain for it. And I wager ditto for Trump. THAT'S his POINT.
3.) Language is "sacred"? No. INTENTIONS are sacred ... or not.
What are you talking about?!?
ditto for Trump? You mean the Trump who is busy littering the world with bombs, death and destruction? The Trump that increased production of cancerous glyphosate? The Trump behind the big mRNA push?
c'mon man
He overturned the table in their temple as they were followers of "the law"
they also defiled the temple as he demonstrated
The question of why he was so enraged begs a close look as some have done.
one of the few times you've made a coherent and useful comment
Very judgemental.
What would Christ say about casting the first stone.
Ooof..spot on.
The F bombs garnished the desired attention... He was not joking.
When has Trump ever had the benefit of doubt from those that hate him? Never. I do think he would serve himself and his country better if he just didn't post to social media at all, or at least have someone sanitize his posts before they go out. That will never happen, of course.
I had a super busy day yesterday and did not even read C&C or get on socials till late last night. Interestingly, the news I heard while flipping stations in my car all day never brought it up, although I may have missed it. But total sh*t storm on FB especially by some of his more staunch supporters. sigh. Still better than Kamala. Although definitely in poor taste.
Nothing President Trump does, no can of worms opened, is wasted in the big picture. What is in poor taste is what the sodomites in the Vatican are doing to the beautiful Catholic faith.
This guy says it great!
https://x.com/MJTruthUltra/status/2043705694663172508?s=20
True. Long suffering Catholic; say I am more of an adherent to the Catholic FAITH more than to the Catholic CHURCH. Interestingly, though, our church was meeting in temporary quarters due to a mold issue and was completely renovated to a very traditional interior with pews, kneelers, etc. Seeing lots of young families, since the re-open, some with women wearing the old school veils and dresses (vs the more casually dressed, me included) and some with 5 or more kids in tow. Does give me a little bit of hope for the future.
I pray your cause for hope grows and grows! Catholics want to bring their children up in the Faith. And it is a rich and powerful Faith.
as a teenager semi forced to attend these bizarre rituals of drinking blood and flesh eating always wondered in the large family fathers actually believed the nonsense. Used to look them squarely in the eyes.
Conclusion was that they were in a trance like state devoid of reason.
How wonderful to hear that the renovation went in the traditional direction. Young families are thirsty for the reverence that was removed by the modernists. I'm so grateful to God for our reverent Priest who has instituted Latin responses in the Liturgy along with sacred music and the bells and smells of incense. Mass is so reverent now that you can feel Jesus among us. I feel sorry for those who don't have the reverence in their Masses. They don't know what they are missing. Praise be to God!
expose the Vatican, not sure anything Catholic is redeemable as it has
always been woefully corrupt
there are stupid people, they do in fact congregate
Normies cannot believe their church "fathers" are woefully corrupt pedophiles.
As you point of we are not out of Staights just yet...
“At the time of blogging, shocked and sullen Times readers had left only two comments on the story. They don’t know what to say.”
That’s because nobody gave them the approved narrative yet …
Exactly!
Juju you are on it! Every day! Love your posts!
Did Swallow-well resign to protect his congressional pension? If sat I, he needs to be impeached expo facto (like they did with Trump), convicted and then pension revoked! Taxpayers don’t need to pay this scumbag for the next 30+ years.
Also, who exposed his daliences? The obvious choice is the person who has benefited most: Katie Porter.
She may be looking at her own comeuppance... may hit her like a truck 😉
Let us pray!
If he used his campaign funds for prostitutes, not only will he lose his pension he could face jail time. I heard they are looking at his campaign fund disbursements now…
He's been paying his illegal nanny out of his campaign funds.
They all "retire" to keep their gold standard health insurance.
To TiredCitizen’s comment “ They all "retire" to keep their gold standard health insurance.”
Elected office should NEVER be a career, and deserves no retirement or health insurance benefits, sucking dry from the well of the taxpayers. It was not the intentions of the founders to be a career. A political office holder was intended to serve for a limited time and then go back home.
They all look at it as an avenue to becoming a multi-millionaire.
I’m not disagreeing with you. I made a true comment. Our government is hopelessly corrupt on all sides.
TiredCitizen I wasn’t disagreeing with you either. I understood your comment as a true statement.
Only an idiot would think 47 was comparing himself to Jesus, and Starmer is as soft as wet toilet paper.

And Stamer saying, "... to keep the straits open, not shut,” adding redundantly, “it is vital that we get the strait open and fully open.” WE, he says with a strait (no misspelling) face; you have got to be kidding. That's rich coming from someone who has done nothing as an ally to help nor is able to open it on his own as Pres Trump invited Europe to do so Starmer can suck it.
Swalwell when in jail will be learing (no misspelling) to swallow well. He deserves all he gets. Scumbag.
Obama the abomination. Nuff said.

Isn’t Starmer the brown residue on wet toilet paper?

I thought I read that Gonzales wants to retire, not resign. There's a big difference: If he retires, he gets a pension and health insurance for life. Let's hope it's a forced resignation and he has to fend for himself. You know- like we mere mortals have to.
As far as Democrats and Republicans duking it out civilly: I had lunch a couple of weeks ago with a dear, dear friend who happens to suffer from TDS. She is a retired speech therapist so we were talking about language processing. I mentioned Senator John Fetterman and explained how he relies on his laptop to process questions asked of him and how he is able to respond without aid.
My Democrat friend had no idea who he was. None. She said she doesn't watch the news so she had no clue. Which brings me to my point: How can you have a civil discussion about politics when you are engaged with someone so uninformed she doesn't even know who a prominent senator FROM HER OWN PARTY is? Well, prominent to the Republicans because- face it- he's secretly one of us.
Interesting. I’ve noticed similar from Democrat friends and family - they just seem to vote for whoever big blue brother tells them to. Don’t keep up on current issues and are just a bunch of TDS sheep. Sad.
@Cee- I have a feeling she gets her info from her only a child, a daughter who lives and teaches (and is head of DEI at her school) in Fairfax County, VA. That should tell you everything.
Oy Vey, that says it all. Libturd women are the absolute worst.
Oy vey.
🙄
Absolutely. The poison gets around.
Don't insult sheep please. They have more acumen than any democrat.
😂🐑😂
How does she have TDS if she is so uninformed and does not watch the news?
@Lori- oh...she hates him because she's told to hate him.
I have a family member who uses the “ I don’t watch the news anymore.” line to not have to engage in any real discussion of anything she would be challenged on. It is sad excuse and lazy for someone as a Christian should be doing their best to be steward of the blessings of liberty and an inspired constitution. I really appreciated JD Vance saying a few days ago that if you disagree that is when you should be speaking up more and communicating w our administration.
Imagine walking around like that everyday in the TDS fog. I give you credit for having such a friend. I could never have one like that.
@Lori- there has been an invisible barrier between us lately. We did lunch to affirm our friendship.
Good to hear it Kittynana! I am sure the negativity is daunting to deal with however when the TDS is unleashed.
@ Lori- like when she said ICE is going into schools and taking kids away? That her daughter's school had a drill on what to do if ICE shows up? And the look on her face when I told her ICE wasn't going into schools, that they were going after known criminals? Like that? (insert eye roll here (________).
The meme was strategic. It gave Trump the opening to bring up the Red Cross, one of the biggest human trafficking organizations in history. A seed was planted. IMHO.
Red Cross is a horrible org.
They were exposed during Pizzagate. They are horrid.
Horrid indeed.
I never heard that, and I did follow Pizzagate. Do you have a link?
Mrs. RW
No. Sorry. I don't save links and it was over a decade ago. People have to do their own research and form their own opinions.
I have heard bad things about the Red Cross. I already don't support them.
I've just never heard any link to Pizzagate before, and any links you saw have probably been thoroughly scrubbed from the internet.
Unless it's them trafficking kids from war zones, which I can believe.
Mrs. RW
Sorry, but there are plenty of receipts re red cross. This was just dumb, all around dumb.
Spoken by the poster thing for dumb.
In the linked article he said “we support” the Red Cross.
Believe what you want. But there were photos of Red Cross boxes being trafficked full cash.
Good Morning. It's windy in Kansas....🤣😂🤣 I know, it's a given...
Not to bad in Missouri. Maybe it’s headed our way.
I lived in KC for 7 years and still have relatives there (husbands side) - Missouri is a lovely state!
Good day to you!
Ozark Mountain Hillbilly right here. 🙌🏻Oklahoma transplant 40 years ago.
I love the Ozarks, Janice.
It was a beautiful place to grow up. Hills and trees and so many rocks we had to pick up, especially when we were in trouble. 😃
Morning! It’s sunny and heating up in VA 😅🌞
Idk how bad it is out in central/ western ks but here by the mighty MO river it’s been brutal the last week or more and one of the worst windy nights I’ve experienced in a long while.
Probably, Dr Linda... I'm less than an hour from KC.
Wisconsinite transplanted to MO. I love the down to earth people (similar to WI) but can’t stand the humidity! We live in a conservative area south of KC.
I am a Californian to Madison to Missouri transplant. I’ve been here almost 40 years.
Yes, the humidity can be tough. I served in the Army, stationed in Alabama for three years. That was super tough.
Good memories of Kansas / Junction City / 9th Divarty.
JC is about an hour west of me. Great place. And Fort Riley has the best museum.
That's where the phoney Spanish flu was manufactured due to new radio technology of WWl.
Same here in West Texas.
I saw the storms that hit in NE Kansas last evening. They stayed north of me as they went east. But today I'm in the area of expected severe weather later. I'll tune into Ryan Hall, he's the best.
What is with the weather?! Storms in mid USA plains swirling like someone put it in a blender!
Here east coast side we have "glazed" (hazy) skies every day - yuk! No rain though - our creeks and rivers are quite low before the summer heat begins. And we have "fire hazard" warnings every day. Sure wish the sky sprayers would STOP! 😕
I suspect is it a combo of cloud seeding, chemtrails and stratospheric aerosol injection.
Yeah, there are more days here now when the sky starts out blue but by evening it's murky, milky and makes me furious.
Don't forget Hunga Tonga . . . which Jeff reported on nearly 3 years ago. NASA noted it would affect the weather for a decade.

That big storm yesterday just missed us. It scuttled Osage County, looked like it was heading to Lawrence. The lightning was awesome.
Love your state - have family out that way! Have a lovely (wind blown) day!
Not here in Minnesnowta.
I burned brush for four hours, had 30 ft high flames. . . no forest fires yet.
And here in mid and northern Michigan, wave upon wave of thunderstorms for the last 3 weeks with heavy rains. The northern lower is getting especially hard hit. Another huge round of thunderstorms went through last night. Unbelievable lightning, and heavy rainfall, but not the thunder normally associated with so much lightning. Heavy March snowstorms up there are now rapidly melting and with all the torrential rains, several large damns up there are in danger of being breached. If the damns are wiped out, several huge lake’s water levels would plummet and it would be catastrophic for the summer lake home owners and tourist industry. Haven’t seen anything like this in my 70+ years. My suspicions are highly raised.
That's scary 😂
Concerning Congressmen leaving - where is Ethics committee on Ilhan Omar, and others - Thankful for all the criminal activity getting to people through X- Thanks to Elon
Said this to my husband the minute they announced his decision to leave Congress on Fox. “What about Ilhan!? If they are all suddenly so filled with the spirit of ridding filth and crimes from Congress …”
Let us pray!
YES! and that rabid Indian from Michigan too. . . not even to mention Pelosi!
Yes, Laura S! Apparently she recently tried to get $1 million added to a bill in a Congessional committee for some kind of treatment center in her district. When it was investigated, it was determined to be fraudulent and the earmark was removed. How many times does this have to happen before she’s removed, disciplined, suspended or something?
Starmer and King Charles should be thrilled about the blockade. It will help in their Net Zero goal.
04/14/26: They're two of the biggest Net Zeros on the planet.
You hit the nail on the head!!!
Spy vs extramarital affairs. The latter is unacceptable behavior for Congress. 🤔
It's such a mind worm that the D' rats support and punish same behaviors. It's called "eating your own".
RATS have skewed priorities.
Paging Epstein files.
You imbeciles still think trump has something to hide in the Epstein files. How could one be that stupid?
You still talking about the Epstein files?
It is unacceptable for any married person.
Foreign spy status (when investigated, prosecuted and proven) is treasonous. Perhaps even some jail time involved. But that wasn’t considered 6-ish years ago when the girlfriend Fang Fang was in the picture. It’s only now, with more stories (unverified, uninvestigated) that are convenient and sordid enough, that he is booted out of a campaign and a job. The public has a short memory, so he’ll be back this way.
He is a dirtbag and all will be proved. 5 women coming forward already. I don't have a short memory at all. I won't forget.
Lori, at the press conference today with one of the victims and her lawyer, Lisa Bloom, they said three more women have contacted Bloom, so the number could now be up to eight victims.
Gingrich, Vitter, and Sanford (all Republicans) — extramarital affairs, pause on political career, then a comeback. When the affair is framed as personal failure, politicians have a chance to resurrect their careers. When it has a twinge of corruption, that resurrection becomes trickier to manage.
It is both a personal and professional failure. Don't care how it is "framed". All must be booted permanently and if there is corruption involved, jail works. Dems are the most depraved. Read the Epstein files.
I think Pope Leo’s and Trump’s squabble is just a bigger problem with the Catholic Church in general. I grew up Catholic and I can’t help but see the Pope’s latest statements regarding God not answering the prayers of those who go to war as heretical. It’s in direct contradiction of the Bible and historical Catholic teachings. It does give credence to Sedevacantists and their beliefs that all the Pope’s since the Second Vatican Council have been heretical. I haven’t worked all the way back through each Pope yet but the heresy is clear with Francis and Leo. That would mean the Catholic Church has been missing a spiritual leader for decades, before I was born. It’s a bigger problem than Catholics recognize.
Oh, we realize it. Believe me, we realize it! And we KNOW Catholic charities was involved in human smuggling. It’s horrifying. Follow Arch Bishop Vigano - Bergolio ex communicated him for speaking the truth !!!
@Joe- I'm a former Catholic. I left for a reason. More than one, actually.
Good for you.
The OT was all about war. Pope needs to go back and read it.
No, it isn't.
There is enough war and prayer to God during those wars that he answered though to disprove Pope Leo’s claim. That’s the crux of the problem.
But that's been the catholic church for centuries.
Yes...
1 Samuel 18:7 (NKJV) 7 So the women sang as they danced, and said:
“Saul has slain his thousands,
And David his ten thousands.”
... and David was 'a man after God's own heart '
