Your reply breaks down after the use of the word "Lord" in this context. But then the left increasingly violent, hateful, and unhinged is made perfectly clear by your sentence stringing. Are you related to Harris?
Prior wholesale acquisitions and subsequent control narratives are partially to blame for getting us to this point. Why on earth could you think that it is so great for others to come in and do the same thing (buy up all the media). This is all about controlling the narrative.
Maybe I missed something, if so, please correct me. I'm willing to listen.
I was confused because I thought Bard was referring to Jeff, not Bezos. Bezos is neither conservative nor liberal. He’ll be whatever insures he keeps his billions/empire.
I would think Bezos' primary concern was his Amazon empire. Being too radical left might jeopardize his success if he antagonized too many of his dominant moderate customers who just might refuse to buy from him. Business first.
This is how most businesses run. I live in a very left leaning city. I know a lot of business owners who are much more conservative than what most of the residents here realize. However, they keep their conservative (moderate) views to themselves because they want their businesses to thrive. I don’t know how Bezos leans, but, you are right, his first concern will be his business interests.
Incredible? I don't know how anyone with understanding of human psychology could be truly surprised by it, much less incredulous of it. It's disappointing, it's frustrating, it's saddening, even maddening ~ but incredible? If only.
I learn a lot from the comments. I also just read this:
The Union Jack gets its name from the combination of the term "Union," which represents the unification of England, Scotland, and Ireland, and "Jack," which refers to a small flag flown from the bow of a ship. The flag was officially called the Union Jack when used at sea around 1674, while it was referred to as the Union Flag on land.
The flag consists of the red cross of Saint George, edged in white, superimposed on the red saltire of Saint Patrick, also edged in white, superimposed on the saltire of Saint Andrew. Wales is not represented in the flag by Wales's patron saint, Saint David, because the flag was designed while Wales was part of the Kingdom of England. The origins of the flag date to the earlier flag of Great Britain which was established in 1606 by a proclamation of King James VI and I of Scotland and England.
Absolutely correct. And when it's raised on land it's "staff" and when it's raised on a ship it's "mast". I'm always astonished when news readers get this wrong 😂😂😂😂
"That is because . . . " I doubt that's the cause. Like many deluded Americans, lots of Brits hate any form of national pride, which a national flag exemplifies.
That's too bad. The flags of Aussie and NZ, which have a wee nod to the Union flag, are currently having a renaissance due to the fuckery of their leaders.
Oh no, the UK is banning its own citizens from flying the England flag….but a Palestinian, Israeli, Ukrainian, or just about any other country is perfectly acceptable.
Don't think that can't happen here. Dearborn Michigan is a good example. Ilhan Omar's district in Minnesota. I would remind everyone to remember what a Muslim leader in the U.K. said recently, and I heard him say it myself: "We are not here to assimilate. We are here to take over." Never forget that.
Very much aware of Dearborn and the sirens. MI also has Gretchen.
The difference from the UK is that Americans have the Second Amendment. Abbot in Tx has stopped a major Mussie develoment. We the People ain't having it.
My apologies, this question went to the wrong post. What I was questioning for source was this statement: "Oh no, the UK is banning its own citizens from flying the England flag….but a Palestinian, Israeli, Ukrainian, or just about any other country is perfectly acceptable."
Can you provide a recent example? I'm unaware of anyone being arrested, much less imprisoned for the sole crime of flag burning, unless it's a rainbow flag of some sort, of course.
I don't know how to add a screen shot here so you'll have to do a quick search yourself. 4 days ago President Trump said anyone caught burning an American flag will be immediately arrested and given a one year prison term.
It would be great if every American Flag was impregnated with a noxious substance that works like tear gas when over 400°F, burned ravenously like magnesium, and smelled like mouse piss.
I'm aware of what the President said. The President saying something doesn't make it so. I did a Grok search and Grok couldn't find any examples in the past five years of anyone being arrested or prosecuted for the sole act of burning an American flag. Don't be so silly, Presidents of both parties say a lot of things. Fortunately, for all his skills of persuasion and ability to move the Overton window, this President still believes in and follows the Constitution, of which the 1st Amendment remains a critical component.
Are you honestly that dense?? You worship an AI interface thinking it credible. Did it occur that the interface cannot be better than the information "it" is programmed with?? Reread a half dozen times before you further emBAREASS yourself.
I don't know what to say if your entire takeaway is that I "worship" an AI. If you have better information, you could respond to my initial request, which was to provide a recent example of someone being arrested for the sole crime of flag burning.
Is that so? Where has it been prosecuted? Or has his "law making" been so effective that there has not been a single flag burning since he "made a law". I know that you are a very smart person merely by the fact you are reading this column, so I'm trying to be reasonable here, but the President can't just "make laws". Yes, he can issue Executive Orders, but by and large they do not have the effect of "law", and they certainly do not supersede the Constitution. He sent a moral and political message is all he did, and yet some people are acting like you're suddenly going to get taken down by SWAT if you walk out onto your front lawn and burn a flag.
I'm not sure if it's genuine naivete, or intentional, but it's a ridiculous straw man conversation to be having.
That is incorrect. Burning the US flag is protected by the 1st Amendment. Any violence or incitement to violence associated with flag burning is not protected speech. There is a line that is not negligible.
DJT just enacted the law, One year in jail for American flag desecration. He is not playing. Like petulant children they demand sources for their own ignorance.
Readers are unaware of what has occurred and is occuring in their homeland.
Likely still reading the fake news echo chamber for information.
JC like countless other content providers reiterate the "virus" storyline. One day they will
have a sobering appointment with the mirror. Once the "virus" fraud is exposed.
There really is lethal testing, and "treatment" for the fearful.
The Medical Cartel, over 99% of licensees, currently enjoy far less confidence than any juncture in modern history due to Covidiocy.
For the details Mike Stone's Sub brings the well organized receipts. For those thinking the Medical degree is the only source for truth: Drs. Kaufman and Yeadon are two prominent physicians exposing the entire "virus" fraud.
All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work.
Sometimes you hear someone going through a difficult time say, “all I have left is prayer…” Your post is a reminder that prayer and being in the word should be your number one thing, and not a last resort. You should still engage in all the actions needed to solve a problem or get through something painful and difficult, but prayer is helpful at all times.
Amen! The power we have access to through prayer should cause us to make it the top priority and first go-to. There is a reason He tells us to pray continually. (Preaching to myself here.) God bless, Carrie.
I was just thinking about prayer maybe two minutes ago, and these passages came to mind:
1 Peter 4:7
"The end of all things is at hand; therefore be self-controlled and sober-minded for the sake of your prayers."
James 5:16
"Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working."
Our obedience, by turning to Christ from temptation, makes us more effective! (More choir preaching here, but we're to preach the Gospel to all of creation!)
We tell our kids they can learn the easy way or the hard. Unfortunately because we are busted vessels and most not too wise, God uses heat to drive us to our knees.
I remember Charles Swindoll saying (to the best of my memory!) “People say, ‘All I can do is pray. All I can do is pray. Do you mean that ALL I CAN DO is ask the Creator of the Universe to help me with my problem?!”
Yes! This is true on a personal level as well. I was just reading about King Asa and him inquiring of others (prophets, physicians) but not the Lord. God is offended when we don't seek Him for answers. Why would we not?
Excellent point! That reminds me of an old story of a ship caught at sea in a terrible storm. The captain tells his passengers, “All we can do now is pray,” to which a woman replies, “Oh Captain, surely it isn’t as bad as THAT??!!”
"The law of the Lord is perfect, restoring the soul... The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever..." Psalm 19:7-9
I still get corrected by people who insist that we are not to fear the Lord, that God is only "love". Such have no use for "the law of the Lord". America is in need of spiritual guidance but has rejected wisdom and the American church has lost her prophetic voice of speaking God's law to all of society preferring instead to have her ears tickled by "prophetic" speculations of a fanciful "end times" thus removing all responsibility for the church to be the prophetic voice in the culture condemning unrighteousness as Jesus, the Apostles and the OT Prophets did. It is for this reason Jesus and the OT Prophets were put to death, for preaching the righteousness of the Lord and His Law.
America cannot/will not be saved through politics. In order for revival and reformation to come to America, the American church will have to reclaim her role as prophet in society. Until that happens, our culture will continue to languish and our children will perish unprotected as they have perished for the last 50+ years. Reformation begins in the church: the body of Christ. Until then there will be no true revival. The fear of the Lord is clean and the Law of the Lord restores the soul. The American church must pick up the Sword of the Lord and once again do battle with Satan just as the Church did in early America...
"'Twas Grace that taught my heart to fear; and Grace my fears relieved..." John Newton "Amazing Grace" 1772
I think this is another good reference verse for what you are speaking about.
2 Corinthians 7:9 "I now rejoice, not that you were made sorrowful, but that you were made sorrowful to the point of repentance; for you were made sorrowful according to the will of God, so that you might not suffer loss in anything through us. 10 For the sorrow that is according to the will of God produces a repentance without regret, leading to salvation, but the sorrow of the world produces death. 11 For behold what earnestness this very thing, this godly sorrow, has produced in you: what vindication of yourselves, what indignation, what fear, what longing, what zeal, what avenging of wrong! In everything you demonstrated yourselves to be innocent in the matter. "
Also, we are not to focus on speculations about the end times, we are merely to "be ready." Matthew 24:44 44 For this reason you also must be ready; for the Son of Man is coming at an hour when you do not think He will.
Considering the audience whom Jesus was addressing in Matt 24, there is much to consider in His statement. The coming of the Son of Man is a reference to Him coming in judgement. He was literally telling His followers what they should expect.
Amen. Well said. People who tell you that have never read the scriptures. 'The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.' 'Righteousness and justice are the foundations of His throne. This is what the Sovereign Lord, the Holy One of Israel says: 'In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength. But you would have none of it.'
..by EACH one who claims to follow GOD and the WAY, to humble ourselves, confess our sins, repent will a sincere heart, seek GOD and HIS laws, put GOD first in HIS right place, stop worshipping other idols be it ego/self, money, material things, sports personalities, movie stars, preachers, etc, careers. TGEN HE WILL HEAL OUR LANDS. Each of us are responsible for our actions. Each of us are responsible for where we are today as a country. We the people have allowed it. GOD is fulfilling HIS promises of exposing things done in the dark to the light which is truth.
Just to point out a simple, but often overlooked fact, when that verse was written, referring to “all scripture”, it was not talking about the New Testament because there was no New Testament yet. It only refers to the Old Testament, the ‘scriptures’ that Jesus talked about. In fact, everything that’s included in the book that we call the New Testament today was written before there was ever even a New Testament. So when Paul refers to “all scripture”, he is not talking about the New Testament.
Yes, thank you for the reminder and correction Jeremiah. When that was written it was referring to the OT. Interesting how much people leave out the OT nowadays in light of that fact!!!
This is true. But not all scripture is a model for behavior. Much of it is a history or instruction of how NOT to behave. All of it needs to be read in the context of the whole.
Even Our Lord and Savior's words were sometimes hyperbole to make a bigger point. Are we really supposed to hate our mother and father (Luke 14:26)? Rather, we are supposed to love Christ more than our mother and father. Are we really supposed to keep a vow made to God to sacrifice our daughter if He grants us our wish (Judges 11:31)? Rather, we are not supposed to make such a vow, ever.
For those who have been given eyes to see, ears to hear, and hearts to obey. The Holy Spirit leads us into all Truth!
The Lord is well aware of how we use metaphor, allegory, idioms, and so forth. He has better command of all those literary devices than we can imagine. So we read with humility, knowing that if anyone considers himself wise, he must become a fool so that he can then become wise.
Context is vital. That is where ALL comes in. Once the Holy Spirit dwells in us He guides us as we read, if we read… when we cherry pick or cite out of context that is not the guidance of the Spirit.
You have to read scripture before and after to get a true picture of what is being conveyed. Cherry picking a verse and trying to determine the true meaning is useless.
There are times when a single verse out of context is exactly the right message on a particular day for a particular individual. But to anchor one's whole belief on cherry picked passages, or to select them as a rebuke to a social or political foe, is spiritual folly.
An interesting point of clarity: The “Scripture” referred to by Paul in that passage is the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament), not the New Testament, which didn’t exist yet. While I suspect Paul had a bit of an ego, still I doubt he ever considered his letters to be Scripture. Jesus himself points us to the OT: “If you had believed Moses, you would believe Me, for he wrote of Me.” John 5:46
Wowser Janice, you actually can compose a sentence. Its the interpretation you need help with... Let us trust that you be infused with knowledge and some converts to Wisdom.
I read the Free Press summary most mornings while waiting on C&C to drop. It is not-right leaning in the least. It does seem to try to offer a more middle of the road and definitely non-woke POV, but IMHO it’s still pretty liberal in what stories it chooses to cover. Its big separation from the MSM is that it’s supportive of Israel.
In fact, the comment section is awesome because of how often the FP editors are called out with anti-Trump bias, and the big stories that it’s just somehow forgotten to cover. The comments are a highlight of my morning (and I’ve noticed a few of their regular commenters migrate over here).
I have little hope for a sea change at CBS, but I’m open to being surprised. I hope it happens.
Exactly. I unsubscribed from the Free Press due to its far left wing bent and snooty, believe me or else attitude. She is no different than establishment media.
The difference is she doesn’t suppress opposing opinions. I do think she’s more open to other viewpoints also, even though she’s still left of center on a lot of issues.
Oh, but she (Bari and TFP) does suppress opinions .... in the comments section. If you post an opinion not liked by the gatekeepers, you will be suspended from commenting for days and even weeks at a time with no specific explanation.
Correct. There have been several commentators have been suspended for ideas that were deemed unacceptable.
I subscribed for 2+ years starting in 2022, there was a distinct editorial drift leftward in that time frame. Bari ( and her spouse Nellie) is firmly of the left progressive culture. She prefers to maintain status with these contemporaries, providing some semblance of tolerance but not acceptance of milder conservative ideas.
I do not expect any great change in the CBS newsroom or a more objective presentation of the issues. Undoubtedly ( as per TFP precedent) Israel will be presented in an unrelenting positive light.
It went more and more left as she brought in new editors. Oily and Chuckie for example. Those two are dyed in the wool TDS obsessed lefties. That's when I made the concious decision to not renew when my time is up.
Yes. I too was a subscriber. When Douglas Murray left, I was out. I had noticed a continual drift to the left. In the beginning I thought it was much more balanced. Not sure what she will bring to CBS. Her views do seem right of theirs, but I won’t be watching anyway. Must be at least 20+ years since I watched network news.
Thanks for the report. Can you confirm my suspicion that, in addition to that, TFP joined all Legacy and (almost) all conservative platforms in refusing to cover the Widespread Covidvax Harms Story? I.e., no stories with numerical estimates, none with interviews of prominent Covidvax dissidents, not even any pieces which featured specific challenges of their findings?
I guess it’s been a while since I’ve read them, it used to seem like they allowed a variety of opinions. Sad to see she is a hypocrite about that now 😕
The left wing bent is because Weiss is left wing, but she does have writers with more conservative views. There's also no fabrication or outright lying in the writing, and I have been able to challenge ideas with my comments.
She's heavily pro-Israel as is this administration. All of this is a massive pro-Israel PR push both online and in corporate media. Frankly the most disturbing aspect of the Trump admin.
If you mean by "pro-Israel" that she believes in the right of the one Jewish state on the planet to exist along with the many Muslim and Christian states, then I would also be "pro-Israel."
Anyone not critical of what Israel has been doing for two years now must be considered pro-genocide at this point in time. There is no justification as a reaction from 2 years to the day for the slaughter to be as it has and continue for as long as it has. Don't wish to get into a back and forth but I will note that anyone who overlooks or denies the fact that Israel's total lack of defense for several hours at the most extremely surveilled border on the planet is in any way happenstance is simply not attending to the reality of that day. Yes, it was their "9/11", which normies will eat up in terms of "unprovoked attack," when in fact, the double meaning (or true meaning in my book) was that it was a false flag so that they could carry out this genocide just as the U.S. needed the pretense to invade and overthrow several countries.
For there to be a genocide, there must be a genocide. Deaths due to war are not "genocide." If there was truly an attempt to wipe out the population entirely (a genocide), it seems self-preservation and a desire to protect one's children and families would lead Hamas to lay down arms and agree to any terms. As far as the lack of defense, it's easier for people to believe in a false flag operation than accept that the men in charge were grossly incompetent. The same fantasy revolved around 9/11, but it was really due to gross incompetence and arrogance. The young female IDF on the border had observed unusual activity and reported it up the chain, but the males in charge had the irrational and emotional reaction of assuming the information was due to overactive, female imagination.
I agree that we shouldn’t be too excited about the Bari Weiss/CBS development. Bari’s wife, Nellie Bowles, wrote a hit piece on Jordan Peterson. An apology is in order for that steaming pile of garbage “journalism”.
It was especially fun to read TFP comments section after 10/7 when “classical liberals” and “clear thinkers” went all in for making Gaza a parking lot.
TFP is not a free speech publication. Lipstick on the mainstream media pig.
Sanity was not present or prepared when the assault on language occurred, which resulted in nonsensical terms like “wife/husband” for same sex partners.
We should’ve fought back harder at the time. For now, I will go with “spouse” only. And even that, I will use quotes or air quotes.
Stabilizing to what? Cohabitants that don’t want to discover the presence of strange new paramours in their homes? So inconvenient, and non-scriptural.
Society. The family is the primary social unit. You can look to scripture, which is not a terrible idea, or you can look to philosophy or even history to see what types of relationships have built successful societies in the past. Also, monogamy is hard work, if you take it seriously. You don’t just quit without good reason which builds character—patience, humility, putting some of your wants aside to meet someone else’s needs, etc. It’s an excellent thing and everyone should aspire towards it.
yep, Bari told Rogan that Tulsi was an "Assad toady," and when he asked her what that meant, she admitted that she didn't know what "toady" meant. Bari is a neocon who seemingly adopts the neocon narrative with ease, but I'm not aware that she would censor the speech of those with whom she disagrees. She worked with Matt Taibbi and Michael Schellenberger on the Twitter files, and according to Matt, was the journalist who knew to ask Musk for access to the files that eventually led to their discovery of the methods by which the Biden admin pressured Twitter to censor dissidents' speech. So, she has done some good things. I subscribed to the Free Press for the first year or two, but eventually couldn't stomach her seemingly uncritical support for empire militarism and Zionism. I also seem to recall her making fun of people who were vaccine hesitant early on (if I recall correctly, this was around Thanksgiving 2021.). None of us gets everything right all the time.
I wonder what Tulsi thinks about the destruction of Syria under the ISIS/al Qaeda leader al Julani.
If I recall correctly, she is vehemently anti-jihadist. But now we have a jihadist, who trimmed his beard and put on a suit, being feted by world leaders, even though his head choppers are killing Christians, Allawites, and Druze. It must really piss her off.
Speaking of Jordan Peterson, he and his daughter, her baby, have been going through some strange and serious health issues and his daughter asked for prayer, as she believes these are demonic attacks. 😢🙏😢
I agree. I am not counting on BW to give all sides equal time. No matter who is in charge, MSM , across the board, is untrustworthy and driven by money, greed, and power. We are manipulated just as much by what they don't say as much as what they do. Check out the stories they choose to cover and what stories they ignore. Bibi paying posters $7000 per pro-Israel propoganda post on Tik Tok etc. to the tune of nearly a million dollars now. The Dems spying on Republican congressmen making Watergate look like kindergarten... and on and on and on. BW via Free Press has thrown us a bone now and again. I will give her that. But that is not nearly enough.
You would think after what she went through and how she saw the fanatic libtards act, she would lean more right of center at least. I am still very cautious about her.
True. I was thinking that too. I think in general getting older and especially having kids tends to make people more conservative but not always. Alex Berenson seems like he’s had a more genuine and less fickle conversion even though he sometimes still reacts like a liberal. Old habits and all that…
Anyone else notice of the laundry list of supposedly Conservative/right-leaning new figures in the media that Jeff Childers posted, only two openly call themselves Christian? Tucker and Matt Walsh. Plus maybe an honorable mention for Tim Pool.
So out of about a dozen names listed, less than a quarter represent the beliefs of typical Americans. So who do they represent? Bari Weiss, Larry Ellison, Ben Shapiro, PragerU, Dave Rubin, Jordan Peterson. Hmmm. All non-Christians and all decidedly pro-Israel zealots.
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. Don't fall for this, none of these people are MAGA, they don't share our Christian beliefs, and they are not our friends.
I think it is absolutely possible and even essential to have political allies who don't share our Christian beliefs. I would happily stand with my Sikh neighbors in the fight to get transgender indoctrination out of public schools, for example. I don't require everyone I'm cooperative with to be a Christian before I can be their friend. I'm pretty sure Jesus didn't operate that way himself (requiring people to acknowledge him as Lord before he ate with them). As far as being "MAGA," I disagree that Shapiro and Peterson aren't for making America Great Again. I can't speak to the rest of the names you accuse because I don't follow them closely enough to know their position.
Allies yes, those driving opinion no. Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life, no one shall come to the Father except through Me" (John 14:16). That's pretty exclusive, He didn't follow it with, "but if they happen to share some political beliefs that's cool too".
Either people believe John 14:16 or they don't. If you believe it then it should form the basis for every aspect of your life. One should not be forming values on morality, theology, family, philosophy, governance, or anything else for that matter based on the opinions of people that reject the core of our beliefs.
It's one thing to ally with non-Christians to accomplish a task. It's another thing entirely to allow them to influence our beliefs. The Bible is pretty clear on this. The fact that Christians have completely lost sight of this essential truth is a big reason the country has degenerated over the last sixty years.
The topic was freedom of speech and a counter-revolution against the suppression of it by legacy media, not "forming values...based on the opinions of people that reject the core of our beliefs." More than half of today's C&C centered around the fight against suppression of speech. This has nothing to do with allowing Bari Weiss or any other non-Christian to influence our beliefs. And while I appreciate you attempting to advocate for the Holy Spirit by bringing up John 14:16, I have no idea how that connects with recognizing that there's a seismic shift occurring against legacy media.
Two things can be true at the same time. Christ is King, and free speech is something to be fought for, with any allies willing to fight for it.
I was specifically talking about how Christians form their beliefs and values which I made clear in my comment. And as much as you are trying to separate things "secular" (i.e. free speech) from things "spiritual", there is in reality no such distinction. If we call ourselves Christians then every belief we have is rooted in our spiritualty. We don't get to have our secular lives segregated from our spiritual lives, that is a lie of the enemy. It is used very effectively to tempt us into sin.
Allies yes (on occasion), influence no.
Edit to note that all of these non-Christians I mention above (including Weiss) are trying to *influence* us, i.e. alter and shape our values. That's the entire purpose of a media organization. We should not be listening to them even if we happen to agree with them on some issues.
That’s a jump to another topic, a spiritual life and a theoretical segregated secular one. You actually are now suggesting that we really can not ally with non Christians in a political battle because their core beliefs may be separate from ours and we might be “tempted into sin” by exposure to them.
Tangentially but related: Would you ever read Aristotle? I’m genuinely curious.
I get what Jeff C is saying but it’s deeply flawed. It removes grace and the ability of free will as to whether you choose to be influenced by something or not. It assumes you will automatically soak up every belief you run across and take it as your own belief. It also discounts the incredible wisdom non-Christians can bring to the table as well. If you are strong in your beliefs you should now worry if someone speaking is a Christian or not.
Don't be absurd. I'm not some 20 year old naive fool. At this point in my life discernment is not a skill I lack, nor is compliance a trait I possess. But you do you, isolate yourself and be proud of your ineffectiveness.
I know Dennis Prager is hugely influential on the Right and I get it, but do you know he sees nothing wrong with pornography within the context of marriage? Once I found that out, I just couldn't look at him the same.
Dennis Prager grew up as an orthodox Jew and knows the bible, including the New Testament better than most Christians. He is totally accepting of Christians and his synagogue has a significant number of Christians as members who attend regularly. I may not agree with everything he says but I have no reservations about his commitment to seeing God's kingdom established on this earth.
NAB— I have not paid much attention to Dennis Prager and now I will avoid him completely. Rhetorical question: how does one keep pornography within the context of marriage? Giving it any context is exactly how Satan gets a toe-hold.
Oh I noticed. It has to be one of the most galling, backwards ass opinions Jeff has ever had. Bari Weiss is deeply entrenched in the left. "But she's a free speech hero!" - OH PLEASE. She's as hard left as all of them. "But she won't suppress your free speech guys! She's one of us! She's one of us!" Something not good is going on over at the C&C office.
These minority media conglomerate 'thought leaders' represent the Zionism First control the United States in all areas of endeavor, cultural, political, economic and government. As far as US sovereignty goes, this crowd is the enemy within in that have disenfranchised the most of us. They are the ones for open borders and the whole wretched Woke Choo-Choo Train.
I was not shocked AT ALL that Ron Johnson was on that surveillance list given the fact that he kicked off the whole Covid vaccination damage with Maddy de Gary and others and was able to help give visibility to the grassroots organizations that were begging for help and accountability. Also, I want to take a moment for those of you in Florida to share with you a STOP GEOENGINEERING rally in St Augustine, Naples and Orlando on October 18- and if anyone knows Byron Donald's personally or our other representatives in the state, please pass this along and share with everyone. The spraying of our skies has not stopped, people are getting really sick, this is a nefarious defense program and being done worldwide. The legislation to stop spraying the skies in Florida has had absolutely no effect. https://x.com/suepearfl/status/1975313690887917943?s=46
Yes, agree with your observations, Valerie. Read such in order to check what’s happening out there in wokeville. Have been observing Bari Weiss’ Free Press substack (reconstituted from Common Sense) and find it to be just-not-as-liberal/rigid as most, giving me hope of at least a portion of the population amenable to conversation. Conversation - having such now can get a liberal/woke ostracized from the pack and ‘pecked to death’ online and hounded from employment - by their own. Go figure.
thats the thing, she was never their own. she appears to have reason and critical thinking skills but she should have gone more right witnessing what the left is capable of. I still do not trust her very much. Being very cautious.
I was an early sign up to her Substack but it was too liberal for me in spite of her pro Israel stance. I soon cancelled. I think Jeff’s excitement here is a bit over blown
Given what's coming down the pike concerning the vaccine, is it even possible for the legacy media to report the news fairly without offending their largest revenue source, Big Pharma?
You can change the ship's captain, but you can't change the sea the ship must travel on.
Bari Weiss was handed this huge paycheck and post for one reason: she’s a highly paid shill for the Zionist regime. She will be censoring any negative views on Israel and on our highly dysfunctional relationship with that country.
Same reason Larry Ellison just got control of TicTok. He paid big bucks to begin the censorship campaign.
And same reason Netanyahu is doling out big bucks to get young ‘influencers’ to go after any posts that are negative about what’s going in Gaza or calling attention to the planned next stage of their/our war with Iran.
Hilarious to see the comments some of these ‘influencers’ are receiving when they pot these attack responses.
$7 THOUSAND !!!! … this is reported to be the amount these influencers are being paid for each post they make.
I would say everything besides support for Israel is window dressing at the FP. Bari was a breath of fresh air in 2020 (a leftist who was against censorship and was even part of the Twitter Files). However, they are in NO way a balanced news organization, and now that Ellison is consolidating his power with CBS, Tik Tok, The FP etc. it may not be all free speech and good times.
I also listen to Bryan Wright of the Wright Report. He used to be called the President daily brief. He has been talking for years about the Chinese invasion during the biden years. Now they are certified truckers in our country. Scary.
They used to be mostly free and I read it quite frequently to get a different viewpoint but as she has built up her subscriber base, most are now paywalled, as you noted.
And I canceled shortly after I noticed that and tired of the far left points of view dominating almost every publication. It was not fairly balanced. Had she remained balanced and presented both sides I would have remained a subscriber. She didn’t.
I never paid for a subscription but in the early days I sometimes enjoyed reading her perspective. But yes as time went on and her TDS kept rearing its ugly head, that really put me off 😕
Imagine if all that cbs got out of hiring her is that maybe, a few people might tune in if stops the lies of omission, the flat out lies, and the hyperbolic crap that spews from all newsrooms on a minute by minute basis. Imagine being the first “ main stream” media group to actually be honest? That is a sea change of gargantuan proportions.
THANK YOU! I read the Free Press for a hot minute and, just wasn't impressed. And, not foe nothing- and this will likely not be a popular opinion- she seems to be, um, very Isreal focused. CBS will be interesting moving forward.
Off topic: please send prayers to our Canadian neighbors today when the sentencing comes down for Chris and Tamera… our gratitude for those Canadian Truckers lighting the flame of freedom in the early days cannot be forgotten. These two amazing people have paid a price that for the Grace of God we barely escaped last November. God Bless both of them and all Canadians. Prayers from the USA. 🙏 🇺🇸🇨🇦🙏
Update: 🚨BREAKING: Justice Heather Perkins-McVey sentences trucker organizer Chris Barber.
18 months conditional sentence, concurrent 3 month sentence for counselling disobedience of a court order. To be served in the community. Keep the peace, etc.
No info yet on Tamara!
2nd update: Good news: no additional jail time for Tamara Lich or Chris Barber.
Bad news: onerous house arrest provisions.
The real punishment was the longest mischief trial in Canadian history.
Total political vendetta by Doug Ford’s prosecutors.
Overall, better than hoped for and yet still an obscene outcome. They’re both basically back in covid lockdown 😠
Thank you for this update. I knew the sentencing was coming, but had lost track of the calendar. Those Truckers really were the difference in breaking the spell of Covid.
Canada’s (in)justice system is fully exposed. A peaceful protest against the tyrannical abuse of power led to a “mischief” charge with a potential 7-8 year prison term. Those who illegally misused the “emergency powers” apparently control the legal system.
Is he with him now? The judge just recessed the sentencing until noon… perhaps awaiting instructions from the PM? 🤷♀️ fyi watching live updates from rebel news on X
My concern about David and Larry Ellison and Bari Weiss is not whether they are “liberal” or “conservative” but that they are Zionist and put defending Israel before the best interest of our country. I cancelled my subscription to Free Press because of dishonest coverage of Israel. There is a clear effort by billionaire Zionists to take over and censor US media—not in the defense of honest reporting but to gaslight Americans about Israel. Larry Ellison is also behind digital ID efforts and has bankrolled this effort in the UK. This would put all our information in that ID and allow for us to be completely controlled. We must oppose these efforts to control our lives!
I hope Mr. Childers looks into this a little more. They also took over TikTok in order to influence the younger Americans. Israeli operatives are in full panic mode now that Americans are starting to see the outsized influence they've had over our own government, and are turning against it. This is what prompted the media takeover. This is not a win for free speech, not in the slightest.
As much as I like Jeff, he has a blind spot when it comes to Israel and Zionists. He just doesn’t see what more of us are noticing. I don’t like leftists or Zionists controlling our speech or gaslighting us.
Several of my personal friends and one relative, readers of Coffee and Covid, have mentioned this glaring 'blind spot'. And the defect is really overarching because Israel First and Zionism First is a subversion of sovereignty. These people have hijacked us and made us forlorn of government.
I really don't think that these people have a right to use the US Treasury as their personal piggy bank for their pet projects.
Sylvia, both points you made are what will make it 1984 on earth. I hope it doesn't come to that because the book did not have a happy ending.
We are being distracted by the little good they let us win and horrible FF events so we do not look at the real danger of digital ID and the NWO power biding their time till maybe 2030?
However, God says their plans will fail and after all the ridiculously fake politics revealed the last 5 years, there is nothing left to trust but Jesus. Personally after realizing science and history are mostly lies, I accepted I will never find out the truth, and came to the conclusion that I don't need to know the truth since I know what we have isn't.
Evil has always been this way and only God can end it.
Dawn—there is great wisdom in your words. We may never find the truth but we must keep searching. There is a machine building that seeks total control. We must unite to defeat the machine.
We must not give up and unite to fight evil but we cannot end evil while it exists. It just comes back in another form, from every direction.
Only God can fix it at the right time and I look forward to it but it will probably get worse.
It is spiritual battle and they, the evil people, want to destroy us spiritually and recruit more spiritually dead people to do their bidding. If people didn't go along with evil, they wouldn't have power.
Philippians 4:8
Finally, 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.
Right. NO ONE gets the kind of payout Bari just got for her 175K subscriber ezine unless there is a clear expectation on what the agenda will be going forward. And we know what that is.
And I even doubt she really had 175K paid subscribers, based on the fact that even today, after she posts something on X she can’t get more than a few thousand views after 24 hours.
Because I unsubscribed to Free Press I did not keep up. I am amazed to learn that despite the claim of 175,000 paid subscribers the site had very few views! The link you provided claimed a payoff to Weiss for her past and future pro-Zionist propaganda. Makes you wonder if this could be true! Thank you for this information.
How is supporting Israel against the best interests of the country? First of all the scriptures say that those who bless them are blessed and cursed are those who curse them. Secondly, we are all looking to see the return of the Messiah. As one of my clients said to me, when He comes, we can ask him- have you been here before?
I am not a biblical scholar but I am familiar with this issue. You are referring to Genesis 12:3? Why should this be interpreted to demand support for Israel? Hasn’t the Abrahamic Covenant been fulfilled in Christ and subsumed in the New Covenant?
IDK how supporting israel is our best interest and kinda sounds like a threat. We send a lot of money there and have a lot of dual citizens in government so loyalty is divided. It does not look good.
The scriptures do say that but in the OT before Jesus so who are God's people now?
Aren't we who believe Jesus? Those who deny him are anti christ so only those who believe in God's Son are His people.
Never forget Rush Limbaugh. He was the undoubted creator of conservative talk radio when there was nothing on air except liberal nonsense. He always said he lived in “Realville.” I miss him so much! His three hours of snark and common sense flew by. I don’t know of anyone else who could rivet my attention that long.
Buck and Clay, while seemingly nice guys, can't come close to filling those hours as skillfully and entertainingly as Rush did. I miss him more and more as each year passes.
Sean Hannity's success puzzles me. He often has good guests but he doesn't let them talk much. He's all abut "me, me, me, I think this, I know that, blah blah blah" and then he'll basically ask the guests if they agree with what he just said and before long he interrupts the guests again. He's tiring to watch. And I like Buck and Clay well enough, but they aren't exceptional and I found them an odd choice to replace Rush, who was essentially irreplaceable.
I couldn't agree with you more. Hannity has been nails on a chalkboard for me for decades. He does just talk about himself and always talks over his guests. "I used to work in construction... I washed dishes at a restaurant... I shared a bathroom with 4 sisters" or whatever...2+ decades of this monotonous tone deaf crap- it's an insult to conservative Americans. He is the most boring, one dimensional voice on tv and radio today- I have no clue how he has stayed on air this long. Rant over- I'm just irritated at how dumbed down and propagandized we've become over the years. It's a real fight to find the truth. Thankfully C&C has become my Rush replacement.
My husband and I started a business in 1989 and we did a lot of driving most days in the process of doing our business. At that time Rush just had a local show in Sacramento (way back before he went national) and that's when we began listening to him in the car as we drove around all day. He really helped our younger selves define our opinions about everything political and cultural. His insights and sharp humor were second to none.
Ohhh you were one of the Rush originals in Sacramento!! How cool- did you go to his Rush Tour to Excellence? I think he only did a couple of them. He really did help my younger self to define my opinions on so many things - allowed me to learn to be a real critical thinker- not a "ditto head" in the sense of the word that liberals tried to define us.
No, never went to the the Rush Tour. But he always gave me so much to think about. People who criticized but never listened to him had no idea about the brilliance of what he said. When my kids were young they were listening to Rush because we had his show on all the time, and both my son and daughter grew up to be solidly conservative, and I know Rush had something to do with that. Rush is sorely missed by so many of us.
Larry Ellison may call himself a conservative, but he's definitely not on the right side of the equation.
He's been pushing digital ID for 25 years, and is a major funder of The Blair Foundation in the UK. They are the architects of the digital ID that Starmer announced a couple of weeks ago. I find it depressing that a guy who thinks that the Chinese model is wonderful is buying up media. It's not good news at all.
We get so excited at the label "conservative" that often we don't pay attention to what is actually happening.
The goal is to avoid the digital-ID surveillance nightmare that seems to be fast approaching. Any politicians or figures who are enabling that are not our friends.
From the comments, there seems to be a lot of eyes wide open on people like Ellison.
In the bigger picture, we badly need to disconnect from an internationalism controlled by a transnational super-agency of which Israel is a major front office. We the dispossessed majority are in real need of a believable home rule. At bottom, the issues are sovereignty and Liberty.
Anything involving Blair is going to be centralizing power for globalist technocracy. He's also a war criminal. Avoid like the plague, or TB. Oh wait...
All due respect to Mr. Childers, I think he's missing the elephant in the room on this one, and should dig a little more into Bari Weiss's background. CBS and TikTok are now under the control of a foreign country which does not have the best interests of the US at heart, and whose leaders have stated openly that their most pressing need right now is to propagandize the American youth.
I hear they now describe Weiss as a conservative. Go figure.
From sex to lying about giving healthcare to illegal immigrants, corporate liberal media mouthpieces continue to exhibit the symptomology of Foot-and-mouth disease.
Weiss is a liberal in Conservative clothing. She and her TFP staff claim to be neutral, but their TDS is evident and their reporting leans heavily left…evidenced more in what they fail to report than what they actually report (I cancelled my subscription last year for that reason). But good on her for cashing in on the American dream. I, for one, hold no hopes for CBS stepping up to fair and balanced reporting, or for TFP. What will they have to offer now that all things TFP will be available on CBS for free🤷♀️? I suppose time will tell…
Too bad you’all can’t separate your distaste for Woke-progressive-ism from the hate of all things liberal. Two different things. Woke-progressive-ism has infected liberalism, but it’s not necessarily axiomatic.
Woke-progressive-ism essentially is a suspension of free speech. That certainly is what “hate speech” is, from their point of view. But it’s actually possible to be liberal and also believe in free speech, believe it or not.
It’s the hypocrisy that I can’t separate myself from. Progressivism is very different than classical liberalism. And in it’s true sense, I consider myself a classical liberal. Bari Weiss is no classical liberal.
Classical liberalism is a whole different animal. Liberal, as the word's used in the US, usually suggests more government intervention to make sure not too many people fall through the cracks. Some people just aren't that able, but don't deserve to starve, is basically it. So, liberals support things like the civil rights movement, national health care, etc. Which doesn't automatically equate to believing in suspension of free speech, although recently it seemed like it.
Nope. It is exactly the opposite of more government intervention. You are confusing Classical liberalism with modern liberalism, which tends to support more government intervention and the promotion social welfare.
Classical liberalism was foundational to the American Revolution and influenced by early democratic institutions. Classical liberalism is a political and economic philosophy that emphasizes individual liberty, limited government, and free markets. It originated in the 17th and 18th centuries, drawing heavily on Enlightenment thinkers like John Locke, Adam Smith, and Montesquieu. Hence the term “CLASSICAL.”
The core principles of Classical Liberalism include individual freedom, limited government, the rule of law (meaning laws should apply equally to all and protect civil liberties), free markets, and private property (meaning ownership rights are central to personal autonomy and economic development). Healthcare and welfare are not among its tenants.
Bari is NOT a Classical Liberal as she claims. She is a MODERN liberal which is also much different than a “progressive” liberal.
I am not talking about classical liberalism, you’re the one who brought that in. I am referring to liberalism as it’s commonly viewed in the US. Classical liberalism would be something John Stuart Mill supported, but has little to do with this thread.
I watched that Rogan clip. That's the first time I've seen BW speak about anything in an interview setting, and frankly, I didn't find her to be at all impressive. Quite the opposite.
Bari Weiss is a snake in the grass. She bashed Tulsi on Joe Rogan and couldn’t explain why. Ellison senior is gaining too much power IMO. He seems to love the surveillance state…scary.
Barry is a player but he's not smart enough to set up and run this whole corrupt enterprise. Something above him prepared and worked a long range plan. It's so big and confusing on purpose. Tip of the iceberg is an apt term.
In that list of senators is one US Representative: Mike Kelly of Pennsylvania. Mr. Kelly's district includes Butler, PA, and he was at the rally on July 13, in the VIP section. Where was the VIP section? Exactly between the shooter and President Trump. And I do mean exactly. The bullets were flying about 4 feet over his head, and not more than one or two feet to one side or the other. Coincidence? Maybe, but it's a pretty big coincidence.
Another interesting angle is Robert Mueller. At a later point in his "investigation" my husband and I were thinking he looked strangely like he might have dementia, he seemed as checked out mentally and only vaguely aware as Biden did, and we wondered about his mental state. This makes the whole thing look like another Biden type situation in which someone is "installed" in a position that they don't really have....not in control so others behind the scenes can pull all the strings. And yes, probably Barry.
I guess you don't find it interesting that Weiss calls herself an "ultra-zionist", and has 100,000 paid subscribers for the substack, but rarely 7,000 views. Bibi runs CBS news. That is the story.
As I read about Biden’s weaponized FBI tactics in order to maintain absolute power and influence the 2024 elections, I’m surprised Senator McConnell was not on that surveillance list. Uhm??? The Biden name will go down as the most corrupt dangerous greedy dirty family in our lifetimes. And may we never forget that!!
I hardly think Lindsey Graham, Marsha Blackburn, and Josh Hawley are diehard conservatives. All betrayed Trump on J6, and all know what was going on and what is going on. I would give some a pass such as Tommy Tuberville and Ron Johnson, and others I know nothing about. They could all have been surveilled and that used to manipulate some, but it seems an interesting list to say the least.
Excuse me:Josh Hawley stepped forward on January 6. One of the few. Check the facts. Then the people walked right into the trap set by Pelosi et al to create the fake insurrection. And due process was stymied.
She has a poor voting record. She went on and on about Tik Tok all the while Biden was weaponizing various agencies against Trump and us. She has done virtually nothing for TN. I’ve called numerous times about our dangerous Interstates which are federally funded, no answers. She was a McConnellite, but at least he helped out KY tremendously. She’s just a talking head on the media , but changes her mind like the wind blows on issues. She is not very well liked here in TN.
The Bidens SHOULD go down as the most corrupt dangerous greedy dirty family in our lifetimes. But I am not holding my breath. "Washington" always gets off. Look at Hillary. Look at Fauci. The Bushes did a lot of damage, too.
"Angela Chao: Shipping billionaire intoxicated when she drowned in Tesla, police report shows: A toxicology test found she had a blood alcohol concentration level of 0.233g per 100ml. The legal limit in Texas is 0.08g per 100ml."
Though I would venture to say the whole woke agenda started during his presidency. He was basically a lefty liberal who fought his wife to become more centrist to get elected. Thankfully, she was unable (or unwilling) to follow his example and lost
I agree, but prefer we call it Zionist or Israeli, which is distinct from Jewish. I love my fellow citizens who are Jewish and hope they do not receive backlash for what the country of Israel is doing to our country.
We can’t get an actual number, because every time any Congress person tries to get legislation introduced that would require sitting members of Congress to reveal whether they have dual citizenship, it gets shut down. It can’t even get out of committee!! Ask Thomas Massie!!
It is reported that over 100 members of Congress are flying Israeli flags in their government furnished offices — offices paid for by we, the taxpayers!!
I am opposed to dual citizenship for the same reason I am opposed to polygamy. Displaying another country’s flag in any government office should be illegal, IMO. And so should serving in a foreign country’s military.
This is one of the 4 initiatives Tucker put forth last week on his important podcast:
Israel involves the United States in foreign wars. Israel causes American blood to be shed. Israel's proxy lobby robs us of sovereignty. Israel grifts from the US Treasury. Israel persecutes Christians. And Israel shot up the USS Liberty. Israel sucks our life blood out of us. Israel gives us nothing in return except misery. We could also go into all the spying, the attacks on property, the operations of Mossad and all the Epstein/Mossad blackmailing ... all conducted on US soil.
Zionism is anti-Semitic secular ideology, a Marxist variant and therefore hostile to all of what Americans should be for.
fanatics deserve backlash. many Jewish people do not back what BB is doing to Gaza. And I am sure God does not approve of genocide either. the Israeli govt needs to check itself. If the people in govt had faith in God, they know He plans to preserve them until the end of time so no need for genocide.
It’s frightening, how popular Jew hatred is becoming. Like Nazi Germany is resurrecting. And it wasn’t just Germany back then either. The rest of the world turned a blind eye on what Hitler was doing. The United States refused entry to a shipload of Jewish refugees (the MS St. Louis) and they returned to Hitler’s Germany to die.
Click on this Zen’s icon and I think you will be shocked at the raw hatred you see there.
I attended a private school as a kid and I remember a lovely girl, I had no idea she was Jewish. She was just a friend. She invited me to her birthday party along with other girls, and I was utterly enraptured with her home, her family, and their food and prayers. Her parents and grandparents were so kind. I've never forgotten her. I was fortunate, my parents never indoctrinated us to think ill of other people. (I did have a quick look at the icon. Hate destroys the hater.)
You’re sick. May you never awaken in a Twilight Zone episode crammed into a cattle car with your loved ones (standing room only) without food or water (which is just as well as there are no toileting facilities) and jostled for hours of utter wretched misery to a death camp (immediate, or after some time of inhuman labor and starvation).
Then when your people who survived this horror miraculously get their ancestral homeland returned (in stingy part by a hateful collection of nation rulers), you immediately get viciously attacked by powerful Arab nations, determined to finish the job that Hitler was interrupted doing.
And after you miraculously succeed in defeating these Arabs, you continue to have to fight off these attacks and the hatred of the world for the next 80 years to the present day.
Your hatred is a demonic sickness shared by far too many and you disgust me.
Did you get paid $7,000 to post pro-Zio/juice social media defenses? If it was so bad, then why are they doing the same thing to Palestinians? Your diatribe doesn't work on gnoticers because gnoticers do their research. Cat's not going back in this bag.
I wonder why 🤔 Probably for no reason at all. Cat's already outta the bag on jews, hon. And I'll never stop, its literally my lineage to call them out.
America must be the only country where you can burn the flag but be imprisoned for doing a burnout on a pride flag painted on asphalt.
Yet another insanity that, if pondered for too long, causes an excruciating headache from banging one’s head against the wall.
Janice 🤣
Always wondered why the Word's were beyoind you.
Suggest wearing a helmet before banging.
It does appear there are 84 closet "bangers" out there
Hmmm maybe a discount for a group helmet order?
Head Banging must be the latest contagion, as there are now 108 "bangers"
Still thinking the discount helmet order is the way forward.
Though on second thought that may be "beyond" the bangers...
😂
Incredible how the Lord's contribution to Substack by a media monopolist can spin a story for narrow coverage of slave masters.
I spent 50 years in journalism and consider myself reasonably intelligent, and I have no idea what you just said there.
Good to know I'm not the only one to feel that way, David!
I am SO GLAD you said that! It made my eyes cross trying to understand it!
My time is much too valuable, Kenpowomam, to spend more than a moment contemplating if there was meaning in what Bard wrote.
But God bless free speech.
MSM brought to you by Covid.
Enough said.
Same purchasers had to shutdown Tiktok.
awareness is not intelligence.
The least "educated" took the shot. Even Orwell knew that the "itelligentsia" are the easiest to brainwash.
Nonsense. Now back to your Victory Gin, you proles.
The Lottery and sports with the Victory gin and latest mass shootings
No Bard you also have that backwards.
Intelligence is birthed by awareness.
Many PhD took "it" so that is also untrue.
Read it again
He said, “ Incredible how the Lord's contribution to Substack by a media monopolist can spin a story for narrow coverage of slave masters.”
Oh. Thanks, John. I like the way you put it.
Whew! It's not just me! 😏
Ah 50 years includes word smithery. JC delivers on a daily basis.
The comment section equilibrates the progress as its mostly a dumb fest.
neither does anyone else...
I read the words but my brain lost the train and went off tracks.
Your brain did not compute the incomprehensible...
Your reply breaks down after the use of the word "Lord" in this context. But then the left increasingly violent, hateful, and unhinged is made perfectly clear by your sentence stringing. Are you related to Harris?
It's tough to decipher, but Bard is correct.
Prior wholesale acquisitions and subsequent control narratives are partially to blame for getting us to this point. Why on earth could you think that it is so great for others to come in and do the same thing (buy up all the media). This is all about controlling the narrative.
Maybe I missed something, if so, please correct me. I'm willing to listen.
Later Jay
I was confused because I thought Bard was referring to Jeff, not Bezos. Bezos is neither conservative nor liberal. He’ll be whatever insures he keeps his billions/empire.
I would think Bezos' primary concern was his Amazon empire. Being too radical left might jeopardize his success if he antagonized too many of his dominant moderate customers who just might refuse to buy from him. Business first.
This is how most businesses run. I live in a very left leaning city. I know a lot of business owners who are much more conservative than what most of the residents here realize. However, they keep their conservative (moderate) views to themselves because they want their businesses to thrive. I don’t know how Bezos leans, but, you are right, his first concern will be his business interests.
Guess they had to do it not to be inti-same-addict.
Bard is now inventing word believing that a valuable contribution...
It's a valuable cryptic tool not to trigger AI or hurt a feeling.
riddle man
Incredible? I don't know how anyone with understanding of human psychology could be truly surprised by it, much less incredulous of it. It's disappointing, it's frustrating, it's saddening, even maddening ~ but incredible? If only.
Ask your doctor if your mass media controlled by a foreign country Is right for you
No - UK deems displaying the UK flag to be "hate speech."
I'm rolling my eyes at you.
Never watch or watched Netflix
I learn a lot from the comments. I also just read this:
The Union Jack gets its name from the combination of the term "Union," which represents the unification of England, Scotland, and Ireland, and "Jack," which refers to a small flag flown from the bow of a ship. The flag was officially called the Union Jack when used at sea around 1674, while it was referred to as the Union Flag on land.
The flag consists of the red cross of Saint George, edged in white, superimposed on the red saltire of Saint Patrick, also edged in white, superimposed on the saltire of Saint Andrew. Wales is not represented in the flag by Wales's patron saint, Saint David, because the flag was designed while Wales was part of the Kingdom of England. The origins of the flag date to the earlier flag of Great Britain which was established in 1606 by a proclamation of King James VI and I of Scotland and England.
And here is a short YT vid about it:
https://youtu.be/n-nF2ITFUAM?si=8scvDjDTI-gss9ll
Technically the flag should only be called the 'Union Jack' when flown on a ship. On land it is the 'Union Flag'...
Absolutely correct. And when it's raised on land it's "staff" and when it's raised on a ship it's "mast". I'm always astonished when news readers get this wrong 😂😂😂😂
"That is because . . . " I doubt that's the cause. Like many deluded Americans, lots of Brits hate any form of national pride, which a national flag exemplifies.
That's too bad. The flags of Aussie and NZ, which have a wee nod to the Union flag, are currently having a renaissance due to the fuckery of their leaders.
Oh no, the UK is banning its own citizens from flying the England flag….but a Palestinian, Israeli, Ukrainian, or just about any other country is perfectly acceptable.
The UK is now Muslim central. However we are not in the UK.
Don't think that can't happen here. Dearborn Michigan is a good example. Ilhan Omar's district in Minnesota. I would remind everyone to remember what a Muslim leader in the U.K. said recently, and I heard him say it myself: "We are not here to assimilate. We are here to take over." Never forget that.
Very much aware of Dearborn and the sirens. MI also has Gretchen.
The difference from the UK is that Americans have the Second Amendment. Abbot in Tx has stopped a major Mussie develoment. We the People ain't having it.
Yeah? Where did you read this?
My girfriend in England told us this was happening there throughout the UK.
It’s pretty much everywhere. Videos, etc
My apologies, this question went to the wrong post. What I was questioning for source was this statement: "Oh no, the UK is banning its own citizens from flying the England flag….but a Palestinian, Israeli, Ukrainian, or just about any other country is perfectly acceptable."
Interesting that you do not know this, better check in with better sources of info,
and soon.
No worries, I responded to the wrong post. The mess in Dearborn is an axiomatic example of problems with the military advance of Islam.
I hear you can go to jail now for burning an American flag.
Can you provide a recent example? I'm unaware of anyone being arrested, much less imprisoned for the sole crime of flag burning, unless it's a rainbow flag of some sort, of course.
I don't know how to add a screen shot here so you'll have to do a quick search yourself. 4 days ago President Trump said anyone caught burning an American flag will be immediately arrested and given a one year prison term.
It would be great if every American Flag was impregnated with a noxious substance that works like tear gas when over 400°F, burned ravenously like magnesium, and smelled like mouse piss.
OK, not illegal to burn, but hey, . . . go ahead!
great idea! ought to get traction
I'm aware of what the President said. The President saying something doesn't make it so. I did a Grok search and Grok couldn't find any examples in the past five years of anyone being arrested or prosecuted for the sole act of burning an American flag. Don't be so silly, Presidents of both parties say a lot of things. Fortunately, for all his skills of persuasion and ability to move the Overton window, this President still believes in and follows the Constitution, of which the 1st Amendment remains a critical component.
Are you honestly that dense?? You worship an AI interface thinking it credible. Did it occur that the interface cannot be better than the information "it" is programmed with?? Reread a half dozen times before you further emBAREASS yourself.
I don't know what to say if your entire takeaway is that I "worship" an AI. If you have better information, you could respond to my initial request, which was to provide a recent example of someone being arrested for the sole crime of flag burning.
He made it a law. 🤷♀️
Is that so? Where has it been prosecuted? Or has his "law making" been so effective that there has not been a single flag burning since he "made a law". I know that you are a very smart person merely by the fact you are reading this column, so I'm trying to be reasonable here, but the President can't just "make laws". Yes, he can issue Executive Orders, but by and large they do not have the effect of "law", and they certainly do not supersede the Constitution. He sent a moral and political message is all he did, and yet some people are acting like you're suddenly going to get taken down by SWAT if you walk out onto your front lawn and burn a flag.
I'm not sure if it's genuine naivete, or intentional, but it's a ridiculous straw man conversation to be having.
@Christine- yes, and I don't agree with that.
I don't either. Definitely wrong direction. 🙃
But if the flag is nylon you are likely breaking some pollution rule.
We all need to (re)watch Arlo Guthrie's film "Alice's Restaurant" to see what can happen for littering.
That is incorrect. Burning the US flag is protected by the 1st Amendment. Any violence or incitement to violence associated with flag burning is not protected speech. There is a line that is not negligible.
DJT just enacted the law, One year in jail for American flag desecration. He is not playing. Like petulant children they demand sources for their own ignorance.
Readers are unaware of what has occurred and is occuring in their homeland.
Likely still reading the fake news echo chamber for information.
JC like countless other content providers reiterate the "virus" storyline. One day they will
have a sobering appointment with the mirror. Once the "virus" fraud is exposed.
There really is lethal testing, and "treatment" for the fearful.
The Medical Cartel, over 99% of licensees, currently enjoy far less confidence than any juncture in modern history due to Covidiocy.
For the details Mike Stone's Sub brings the well organized receipts. For those thinking the Medical degree is the only source for truth: Drs. Kaufman and Yeadon are two prominent physicians exposing the entire "virus" fraud.
The Bible is crystal clear on the abominatin of homosexuality.
Those words are not "beyond" anyone.
Removing the "pride" crosswalks in Fl, is a major step in the right direction.
The fake news echo chamber continues to circle the bowl.
Soon there may be a real dearth of fake news to report.
CBS marches toward destruction. Witness and expect the final flush.

All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work.
— 2 Timothy 3:16-17 NAS95

Sometimes you hear someone going through a difficult time say, “all I have left is prayer…” Your post is a reminder that prayer and being in the word should be your number one thing, and not a last resort. You should still engage in all the actions needed to solve a problem or get through something painful and difficult, but prayer is helpful at all times.
Amen! The power we have access to through prayer should cause us to make it the top priority and first go-to. There is a reason He tells us to pray continually. (Preaching to myself here.) God bless, Carrie.
I was just thinking about prayer maybe two minutes ago, and these passages came to mind:
1 Peter 4:7
"The end of all things is at hand; therefore be self-controlled and sober-minded for the sake of your prayers."
James 5:16
"Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working."
Our obedience, by turning to Christ from temptation, makes us more effective! (More choir preaching here, but we're to preach the Gospel to all of creation!)
We tell our kids they can learn the easy way or the hard. Unfortunately because we are busted vessels and most not too wise, God uses heat to drive us to our knees.
Agree with the preaching to myself first part😉
The word is Edify. We are to edify one another.
Ponder that if its not "beyond you"
I remember Charles Swindoll saying (to the best of my memory!) “People say, ‘All I can do is pray. All I can do is pray. Do you mean that ALL I CAN DO is ask the Creator of the Universe to help me with my problem?!”
Calling all Canadians to please pray with me today for the Lich & Barber (Convoy leaders) verdict and many more issues. 🙏🙏
NotaBot—US citizen here praying alongside you. 🙏🙏🙏
Much appreciated! ❤️
I’ve always loved the wit and wisdom of Charles Swindoll.
Amen, Carrie! I confess that I often forget to pray FIRST.
Yes! This is true on a personal level as well. I was just reading about King Asa and him inquiring of others (prophets, physicians) but not the Lord. God is offended when we don't seek Him for answers. Why would we not?
Excellent point! That reminds me of an old story of a ship caught at sea in a terrible storm. The captain tells his passengers, “All we can do now is pray,” to which a woman replies, “Oh Captain, surely it isn’t as bad as THAT??!!”
Exactly. Prayer should be first.
Psalm 19
7The law of the Lord is perfect, restoring the soul;
The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.
8 The precepts of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart;
The commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes.
9 The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever;
The judgments of the Lord are true; they are righteous altogether.
10 They are more desirable than gold, yes, than much fine gold;
Sweeter also than honey and the drippings of the honeycomb.
11 Moreover, by them Your servant is warned;
In keeping them there is great reward.
"The law of the Lord is perfect, restoring the soul... The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever..." Psalm 19:7-9
I still get corrected by people who insist that we are not to fear the Lord, that God is only "love". Such have no use for "the law of the Lord". America is in need of spiritual guidance but has rejected wisdom and the American church has lost her prophetic voice of speaking God's law to all of society preferring instead to have her ears tickled by "prophetic" speculations of a fanciful "end times" thus removing all responsibility for the church to be the prophetic voice in the culture condemning unrighteousness as Jesus, the Apostles and the OT Prophets did. It is for this reason Jesus and the OT Prophets were put to death, for preaching the righteousness of the Lord and His Law.
America cannot/will not be saved through politics. In order for revival and reformation to come to America, the American church will have to reclaim her role as prophet in society. Until that happens, our culture will continue to languish and our children will perish unprotected as they have perished for the last 50+ years. Reformation begins in the church: the body of Christ. Until then there will be no true revival. The fear of the Lord is clean and the Law of the Lord restores the soul. The American church must pick up the Sword of the Lord and once again do battle with Satan just as the Church did in early America...
"'Twas Grace that taught my heart to fear; and Grace my fears relieved..." John Newton "Amazing Grace" 1772
I think this is another good reference verse for what you are speaking about.
2 Corinthians 7:9 "I now rejoice, not that you were made sorrowful, but that you were made sorrowful to the point of repentance; for you were made sorrowful according to the will of God, so that you might not suffer loss in anything through us. 10 For the sorrow that is according to the will of God produces a repentance without regret, leading to salvation, but the sorrow of the world produces death. 11 For behold what earnestness this very thing, this godly sorrow, has produced in you: what vindication of yourselves, what indignation, what fear, what longing, what zeal, what avenging of wrong! In everything you demonstrated yourselves to be innocent in the matter. "
Also, we are not to focus on speculations about the end times, we are merely to "be ready." Matthew 24:44 44 For this reason you also must be ready; for the Son of Man is coming at an hour when you do not think He will.
Considering the audience whom Jesus was addressing in Matt 24, there is much to consider in His statement. The coming of the Son of Man is a reference to Him coming in judgement. He was literally telling His followers what they should expect.
Amen. Well said. People who tell you that have never read the scriptures. 'The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.' 'Righteousness and justice are the foundations of His throne. This is what the Sovereign Lord, the Holy One of Israel says: 'In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength. But you would have none of it.'
GOD tells us how to heal our lands
..by EACH one who claims to follow GOD and the WAY, to humble ourselves, confess our sins, repent will a sincere heart, seek GOD and HIS laws, put GOD first in HIS right place, stop worshipping other idols be it ego/self, money, material things, sports personalities, movie stars, preachers, etc, careers. TGEN HE WILL HEAL OUR LANDS. Each of us are responsible for our actions. Each of us are responsible for where we are today as a country. We the people have allowed it. GOD is fulfilling HIS promises of exposing things done in the dark to the light which is truth.
well said... brings to mind a book called The Awe of God - the astounding way a healthy fear of GOD transforms your life. It's on my reading list

Lovely passage, Robin.
I have missed seeing your posts everyday. Some days I can get here. Some days I can’t.
Just to point out a simple, but often overlooked fact, when that verse was written, referring to “all scripture”, it was not talking about the New Testament because there was no New Testament yet. It only refers to the Old Testament, the ‘scriptures’ that Jesus talked about. In fact, everything that’s included in the book that we call the New Testament today was written before there was ever even a New Testament. So when Paul refers to “all scripture”, he is not talking about the New Testament.
Yes, thank you for the reminder and correction Jeremiah. When that was written it was referring to the OT. Interesting how much people leave out the OT nowadays in light of that fact!!!
This is true. But not all scripture is a model for behavior. Much of it is a history or instruction of how NOT to behave. All of it needs to be read in the context of the whole.
Even Our Lord and Savior's words were sometimes hyperbole to make a bigger point. Are we really supposed to hate our mother and father (Luke 14:26)? Rather, we are supposed to love Christ more than our mother and father. Are we really supposed to keep a vow made to God to sacrifice our daughter if He grants us our wish (Judges 11:31)? Rather, we are not supposed to make such a vow, ever.
For those who have been given eyes to see, ears to hear, and hearts to obey. The Holy Spirit leads us into all Truth!
The Lord is well aware of how we use metaphor, allegory, idioms, and so forth. He has better command of all those literary devices than we can imagine. So we read with humility, knowing that if anyone considers himself wise, he must become a fool so that he can then become wise.
Well said, Tom.
Context is vital. That is where ALL comes in. Once the Holy Spirit dwells in us He guides us as we read, if we read… when we cherry pick or cite out of context that is not the guidance of the Spirit.
So true. Context!!
Yes... if thine eye offend thee pluck it out! - a good incentive to REALLY make sure you aren't looking at things that you shouldn't... 👍
You have to read scripture before and after to get a true picture of what is being conveyed. Cherry picking a verse and trying to determine the true meaning is useless.
There are times when a single verse out of context is exactly the right message on a particular day for a particular individual. But to anchor one's whole belief on cherry picked passages, or to select them as a rebuke to a social or political foe, is spiritual folly.
ALL Scripture… not the parts I like, not the parts that don’t offend, not the easy ones, not just NT and not just OT. ALL of Gods word. 🙌
Amen sister…did you enjoy the ice cream?
Why yes, yes I did. Even though I didn’t have any more chocolate to put on it. 😃
May it ever be READ!!
This scripture is a MUST MEMORIZE for every Christian.
An interesting point of clarity: The “Scripture” referred to by Paul in that passage is the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament), not the New Testament, which didn’t exist yet. While I suspect Paul had a bit of an ego, still I doubt he ever considered his letters to be Scripture. Jesus himself points us to the OT: “If you had believed Moses, you would believe Me, for he wrote of Me.” John 5:46

Wowser Janice, you actually can compose a sentence. Its the interpretation you need help with... Let us trust that you be infused with knowledge and some converts to Wisdom.
Discernment is asking alot.
I read the Free Press summary most mornings while waiting on C&C to drop. It is not-right leaning in the least. It does seem to try to offer a more middle of the road and definitely non-woke POV, but IMHO it’s still pretty liberal in what stories it chooses to cover. Its big separation from the MSM is that it’s supportive of Israel.
In fact, the comment section is awesome because of how often the FP editors are called out with anti-Trump bias, and the big stories that it’s just somehow forgotten to cover. The comments are a highlight of my morning (and I’ve noticed a few of their regular commenters migrate over here).
I have little hope for a sea change at CBS, but I’m open to being surprised. I hope it happens.
Exactly. I unsubscribed from the Free Press due to its far left wing bent and snooty, believe me or else attitude. She is no different than establishment media.
The difference is she doesn’t suppress opposing opinions. I do think she’s more open to other viewpoints also, even though she’s still left of center on a lot of issues.
Oh, but she (Bari and TFP) does suppress opinions .... in the comments section. If you post an opinion not liked by the gatekeepers, you will be suspended from commenting for days and even weeks at a time with no specific explanation.
Correct. There have been several commentators have been suspended for ideas that were deemed unacceptable.
I subscribed for 2+ years starting in 2022, there was a distinct editorial drift leftward in that time frame. Bari ( and her spouse Nellie) is firmly of the left progressive culture. She prefers to maintain status with these contemporaries, providing some semblance of tolerance but not acceptance of milder conservative ideas.
I do not expect any great change in the CBS newsroom or a more objective presentation of the issues. Undoubtedly ( as per TFP precedent) Israel will be presented in an unrelenting positive light.
It went more and more left as she brought in new editors. Oily and Chuckie for example. Those two are dyed in the wool TDS obsessed lefties. That's when I made the concious decision to not renew when my time is up.
Yes. I too was a subscriber. When Douglas Murray left, I was out. I had noticed a continual drift to the left. In the beginning I thought it was much more balanced. Not sure what she will bring to CBS. Her views do seem right of theirs, but I won’t be watching anyway. Must be at least 20+ years since I watched network news.
I recall your thoughtful comments and reasoned comments. Good to hear from you!
Thanks for the report. Can you confirm my suspicion that, in addition to that, TFP joined all Legacy and (almost) all conservative platforms in refusing to cover the Widespread Covidvax Harms Story? I.e., no stories with numerical estimates, none with interviews of prominent Covidvax dissidents, not even any pieces which featured specific challenges of their findings?
Free Kevin! 😉
For sure! Not Kevin Durant spent considerable time in the penalty box!
😂
I guess it’s been a while since I’ve read them, it used to seem like they allowed a variety of opinions. Sad to see she is a hypocrite about that now 😕
power corrupts
Exactly 😕
I've been pretty harsh in some of my comments and never been suspended.
I unsubscribed too for some of Jackie’s reasons above; however, I agree that she’s more open to other viewpoints, so that brings a bit of hope.
... in a limited hangout sort of way, I guess.
The left wing bent is because Weiss is left wing, but she does have writers with more conservative views. There's also no fabrication or outright lying in the writing, and I have been able to challenge ideas with my comments.
She's heavily pro-Israel as is this administration. All of this is a massive pro-Israel PR push both online and in corporate media. Frankly the most disturbing aspect of the Trump admin.
Exactly! I can't believe Jeff missed on how Israel owns all our media now. This is horrifying!

If you mean by "pro-Israel" that she believes in the right of the one Jewish state on the planet to exist along with the many Muslim and Christian states, then I would also be "pro-Israel."
Anyone not critical of what Israel has been doing for two years now must be considered pro-genocide at this point in time. There is no justification as a reaction from 2 years to the day for the slaughter to be as it has and continue for as long as it has. Don't wish to get into a back and forth but I will note that anyone who overlooks or denies the fact that Israel's total lack of defense for several hours at the most extremely surveilled border on the planet is in any way happenstance is simply not attending to the reality of that day. Yes, it was their "9/11", which normies will eat up in terms of "unprovoked attack," when in fact, the double meaning (or true meaning in my book) was that it was a false flag so that they could carry out this genocide just as the U.S. needed the pretense to invade and overthrow several countries.
For there to be a genocide, there must be a genocide. Deaths due to war are not "genocide." If there was truly an attempt to wipe out the population entirely (a genocide), it seems self-preservation and a desire to protect one's children and families would lead Hamas to lay down arms and agree to any terms. As far as the lack of defense, it's easier for people to believe in a false flag operation than accept that the men in charge were grossly incompetent. The same fantasy revolved around 9/11, but it was really due to gross incompetence and arrogance. The young female IDF on the border had observed unusual activity and reported it up the chain, but the males in charge had the irrational and emotional reaction of assuming the information was due to overactive, female imagination.
Maybe worse. First they came for establishment media. I said nothing. Then alternative media.
Then Tik Tok.
Then X
same leftist ideas minus the most vicious authoritarianism
I agree that we shouldn’t be too excited about the Bari Weiss/CBS development. Bari’s wife, Nellie Bowles, wrote a hit piece on Jordan Peterson. An apology is in order for that steaming pile of garbage “journalism”.
It was especially fun to read TFP comments section after 10/7 when “classical liberals” and “clear thinkers” went all in for making Gaza a parking lot.
TFP is not a free speech publication. Lipstick on the mainstream media pig.
I will not participate in the delusion that Bari has a wife. Words have meaning, even words like "marriage" and "wife" and "husband".
Agreed. Their "marriage" is just as valid as the Kavanaugh would-be assassin now claiming to be a woman.
Fair enough. Partner? Spouse? In any case, I think monogamy is stabilizing and should generally be encouraged.
Sanity was not present or prepared when the assault on language occurred, which resulted in nonsensical terms like “wife/husband” for same sex partners.
We should’ve fought back harder at the time. For now, I will go with “spouse” only. And even that, I will use quotes or air quotes.
I prefer the word, partner...
Stabilizing to what? Cohabitants that don’t want to discover the presence of strange new paramours in their homes? So inconvenient, and non-scriptural.
Society. The family is the primary social unit. You can look to scripture, which is not a terrible idea, or you can look to philosophy or even history to see what types of relationships have built successful societies in the past. Also, monogamy is hard work, if you take it seriously. You don’t just quit without good reason which builds character—patience, humility, putting some of your wants aside to meet someone else’s needs, etc. It’s an excellent thing and everyone should aspire towards it.
Idealized but not realized. In one study, only 9% of gay men were monogamous. Source: http://advindicate.com/articles/3022
Ever see Rogan call her out for her Tulsi smears? It's worth the few minutes:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xpurFfcSNfU
yep, Bari told Rogan that Tulsi was an "Assad toady," and when he asked her what that meant, she admitted that she didn't know what "toady" meant. Bari is a neocon who seemingly adopts the neocon narrative with ease, but I'm not aware that she would censor the speech of those with whom she disagrees. She worked with Matt Taibbi and Michael Schellenberger on the Twitter files, and according to Matt, was the journalist who knew to ask Musk for access to the files that eventually led to their discovery of the methods by which the Biden admin pressured Twitter to censor dissidents' speech. So, she has done some good things. I subscribed to the Free Press for the first year or two, but eventually couldn't stomach her seemingly uncritical support for empire militarism and Zionism. I also seem to recall her making fun of people who were vaccine hesitant early on (if I recall correctly, this was around Thanksgiving 2021.). None of us gets everything right all the time.
I wonder what Tulsi thinks about the destruction of Syria under the ISIS/al Qaeda leader al Julani.
If I recall correctly, she is vehemently anti-jihadist. But now we have a jihadist, who trimmed his beard and put on a suit, being feted by world leaders, even though his head choppers are killing Christians, Allawites, and Druze. It must really piss her off.
Mrs. RW
Assad was fine.
That’s yet another reason I unsubscribed. I was a bit late to the party and saw the clip for the first time at the beginning of this year…
See above. Paid shill.
Absolutely!
Don’t forget Weiss’ attack on Tulsi Gabbard on Joe Rogan’s podcasts. To his credit he set her straight - he’s a Tulsi fan & respects her immensely.
Speaking of Jordan Peterson, he and his daughter, her baby, have been going through some strange and serious health issues and his daughter asked for prayer, as she believes these are demonic attacks. 😢🙏😢

I agree. I am not counting on BW to give all sides equal time. No matter who is in charge, MSM , across the board, is untrustworthy and driven by money, greed, and power. We are manipulated just as much by what they don't say as much as what they do. Check out the stories they choose to cover and what stories they ignore. Bibi paying posters $7000 per pro-Israel propoganda post on Tik Tok etc. to the tune of nearly a million dollars now. The Dems spying on Republican congressmen making Watergate look like kindergarten... and on and on and on. BW via Free Press has thrown us a bone now and again. I will give her that. But that is not nearly enough.
You would think after what she went through and how she saw the fanatic libtards act, she would lean more right of center at least. I am still very cautious about her.
I don't trust her.
A liberal in "Independent" clothing. I read her early in her startup but left because I didn't get anything out of it.
I would be happy with the change if she was just more "center"
She’s still a New York City liberal. At least she is pro free speech though. That’s a very important thing.
at least she is for now....that could change.
True. I was thinking that too. I think in general getting older and especially having kids tends to make people more conservative but not always. Alex Berenson seems like he’s had a more genuine and less fickle conversion even though he sometimes still reacts like a liberal. Old habits and all that…
Small steps. An improvement. None of us will be impacted but she is an amazing improvement over what has been.
Full Gaza Coverage no doubt.
Anyone else notice of the laundry list of supposedly Conservative/right-leaning new figures in the media that Jeff Childers posted, only two openly call themselves Christian? Tucker and Matt Walsh. Plus maybe an honorable mention for Tim Pool.
So out of about a dozen names listed, less than a quarter represent the beliefs of typical Americans. So who do they represent? Bari Weiss, Larry Ellison, Ben Shapiro, PragerU, Dave Rubin, Jordan Peterson. Hmmm. All non-Christians and all decidedly pro-Israel zealots.
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. Don't fall for this, none of these people are MAGA, they don't share our Christian beliefs, and they are not our friends.
I think it is absolutely possible and even essential to have political allies who don't share our Christian beliefs. I would happily stand with my Sikh neighbors in the fight to get transgender indoctrination out of public schools, for example. I don't require everyone I'm cooperative with to be a Christian before I can be their friend. I'm pretty sure Jesus didn't operate that way himself (requiring people to acknowledge him as Lord before he ate with them). As far as being "MAGA," I disagree that Shapiro and Peterson aren't for making America Great Again. I can't speak to the rest of the names you accuse because I don't follow them closely enough to know their position.
Allies yes, those driving opinion no. Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life, no one shall come to the Father except through Me" (John 14:16). That's pretty exclusive, He didn't follow it with, "but if they happen to share some political beliefs that's cool too".
Either people believe John 14:16 or they don't. If you believe it then it should form the basis for every aspect of your life. One should not be forming values on morality, theology, family, philosophy, governance, or anything else for that matter based on the opinions of people that reject the core of our beliefs.
It's one thing to ally with non-Christians to accomplish a task. It's another thing entirely to allow them to influence our beliefs. The Bible is pretty clear on this. The fact that Christians have completely lost sight of this essential truth is a big reason the country has degenerated over the last sixty years.
Edit: fixed typo
The topic was freedom of speech and a counter-revolution against the suppression of it by legacy media, not "forming values...based on the opinions of people that reject the core of our beliefs." More than half of today's C&C centered around the fight against suppression of speech. This has nothing to do with allowing Bari Weiss or any other non-Christian to influence our beliefs. And while I appreciate you attempting to advocate for the Holy Spirit by bringing up John 14:16, I have no idea how that connects with recognizing that there's a seismic shift occurring against legacy media.
Two things can be true at the same time. Christ is King, and free speech is something to be fought for, with any allies willing to fight for it.
I was specifically talking about how Christians form their beliefs and values which I made clear in my comment. And as much as you are trying to separate things "secular" (i.e. free speech) from things "spiritual", there is in reality no such distinction. If we call ourselves Christians then every belief we have is rooted in our spiritualty. We don't get to have our secular lives segregated from our spiritual lives, that is a lie of the enemy. It is used very effectively to tempt us into sin.
Allies yes (on occasion), influence no.
Edit to note that all of these non-Christians I mention above (including Weiss) are trying to *influence* us, i.e. alter and shape our values. That's the entire purpose of a media organization. We should not be listening to them even if we happen to agree with them on some issues.
That’s a jump to another topic, a spiritual life and a theoretical segregated secular one. You actually are now suggesting that we really can not ally with non Christians in a political battle because their core beliefs may be separate from ours and we might be “tempted into sin” by exposure to them.
Tangentially but related: Would you ever read Aristotle? I’m genuinely curious.
I get what Jeff C is saying but it’s deeply flawed. It removes grace and the ability of free will as to whether you choose to be influenced by something or not. It assumes you will automatically soak up every belief you run across and take it as your own belief. It also discounts the incredible wisdom non-Christians can bring to the table as well. If you are strong in your beliefs you should now worry if someone speaking is a Christian or not.
Amen essay
These aren't your "political allies", they're your new masters.
Don't be absurd. I'm not some 20 year old naive fool. At this point in my life discernment is not a skill I lack, nor is compliance a trait I possess. But you do you, isolate yourself and be proud of your ineffectiveness.
I know Dennis Prager is hugely influential on the Right and I get it, but do you know he sees nothing wrong with pornography within the context of marriage? Once I found that out, I just couldn't look at him the same.
https://firstthings.com/dennis-pragers-troubling-defense-of-pornography/
Dennis Prager grew up as an orthodox Jew and knows the bible, including the New Testament better than most Christians. He is totally accepting of Christians and his synagogue has a significant number of Christians as members who attend regularly. I may not agree with everything he says but I have no reservations about his commitment to seeing God's kingdom established on this earth.
Yes. Exactly. Which is why his views on pornography really surprised me.
😳 Now I know why something about him was a bit creepy...
NAB— I have not paid much attention to Dennis Prager and now I will avoid him completely. Rhetorical question: how does one keep pornography within the context of marriage? Giving it any context is exactly how Satan gets a toe-hold.
He has been married 3 times and divorced twice. Humm!
Like Trump?
Trump was only divorced once 🙄
Edit: nope twice, I forgot about Marla
Didn't he divorce Ivanka and Marla? Marla was a short one during his midlife crisis. Melania was a great recovery!
divorced twice...so far. (Simpsons meme)
Oh I noticed. It has to be one of the most galling, backwards ass opinions Jeff has ever had. Bari Weiss is deeply entrenched in the left. "But she's a free speech hero!" - OH PLEASE. She's as hard left as all of them. "But she won't suppress your free speech guys! She's one of us! She's one of us!" Something not good is going on over at the C&C office.
Exactly what I thought.
These minority media conglomerate 'thought leaders' represent the Zionism First control the United States in all areas of endeavor, cultural, political, economic and government. As far as US sovereignty goes, this crowd is the enemy within in that have disenfranchised the most of us. They are the ones for open borders and the whole wretched Woke Choo-Choo Train.
Spot on. Will be interesting to see how TFP disrupts CBS and MSM. Here is are a few polls on how readers think the merger will go: https://yuribezmenov.substack.com/p/the-free-press-paramount-cbs-acquisition-polls
The one thing we can be sure of is that CBS will now support US involvement in every overseas war that Israel wants us in.
I was not shocked AT ALL that Ron Johnson was on that surveillance list given the fact that he kicked off the whole Covid vaccination damage with Maddy de Gary and others and was able to help give visibility to the grassroots organizations that were begging for help and accountability. Also, I want to take a moment for those of you in Florida to share with you a STOP GEOENGINEERING rally in St Augustine, Naples and Orlando on October 18- and if anyone knows Byron Donald's personally or our other representatives in the state, please pass this along and share with everyone. The spraying of our skies has not stopped, people are getting really sick, this is a nefarious defense program and being done worldwide. The legislation to stop spraying the skies in Florida has had absolutely no effect. https://x.com/suepearfl/status/1975313690887917943?s=46
I'm actually surprised that the list wasn't much much longer. What about those in the House?
Yes, agree with your observations, Valerie. Read such in order to check what’s happening out there in wokeville. Have been observing Bari Weiss’ Free Press substack (reconstituted from Common Sense) and find it to be just-not-as-liberal/rigid as most, giving me hope of at least a portion of the population amenable to conversation. Conversation - having such now can get a liberal/woke ostracized from the pack and ‘pecked to death’ online and hounded from employment - by their own. Go figure.
thats the thing, she was never their own. she appears to have reason and critical thinking skills but she should have gone more right witnessing what the left is capable of. I still do not trust her very much. Being very cautious.
Yes, we must be discerning. Wise words, Lori.
I was an early sign up to her Substack but it was too liberal for me in spite of her pro Israel stance. I soon cancelled. I think Jeff’s excitement here is a bit over blown
The only thing that gives some hope is the absolute freak out taking place on platforms like Blue Sky.
Yes, I think that’s very telling. The fact that they are so scared of her is encouraging to me.
Given what's coming down the pike concerning the vaccine, is it even possible for the legacy media to report the news fairly without offending their largest revenue source, Big Pharma?
You can change the ship's captain, but you can't change the sea the ship must travel on.
Well said!
Bari Weiss was handed this huge paycheck and post for one reason: she’s a highly paid shill for the Zionist regime. She will be censoring any negative views on Israel and on our highly dysfunctional relationship with that country.
Same reason Larry Ellison just got control of TicTok. He paid big bucks to begin the censorship campaign.
And same reason Netanyahu is doling out big bucks to get young ‘influencers’ to go after any posts that are negative about what’s going in Gaza or calling attention to the planned next stage of their/our war with Iran.
Hilarious to see the comments some of these ‘influencers’ are receiving when they pot these attack responses.
$7 THOUSAND !!!! … this is reported to be the amount these influencers are being paid for each post they make.
I wish people would research EVERYTHING Israel related that has been going on these past 5 decades. I have a lot of questions…
I would say everything besides support for Israel is window dressing at the FP. Bari was a breath of fresh air in 2020 (a leftist who was against censorship and was even part of the Twitter Files). However, they are in NO way a balanced news organization, and now that Ellison is consolidating his power with CBS, Tik Tok, The FP etc. it may not be all free speech and good times.
I also listen to Bryan Wright of the Wright Report. He used to be called the President daily brief. He has been talking for years about the Chinese invasion during the biden years. Now they are certified truckers in our country. Scary.
Interesting, thanks. I was not aware of her Substack prior to this from Jeff.
Most of their articles are paywalled, but the digest thing in the morning isn’t.
They used to be mostly free and I read it quite frequently to get a different viewpoint but as she has built up her subscriber base, most are now paywalled, as you noted.
And I canceled shortly after I noticed that and tired of the far left points of view dominating almost every publication. It was not fairly balanced. Had she remained balanced and presented both sides I would have remained a subscriber. She didn’t.
I never paid for a subscription but in the early days I sometimes enjoyed reading her perspective. But yes as time went on and her TDS kept rearing its ugly head, that really put me off 😕
No longer The "Free" Press.
Apparently not 😕
It's extremely liberal/woke.
I gather that now, I had not read her before. But she did endure a lot of backlash from her co-workers at the NYT it seems.
Goes to show how fanatical the NY Times was (and continues to be).
Agree 100%
Imagine if all that cbs got out of hiring her is that maybe, a few people might tune in if stops the lies of omission, the flat out lies, and the hyperbolic crap that spews from all newsrooms on a minute by minute basis. Imagine being the first “ main stream” media group to actually be honest? That is a sea change of gargantuan proportions.
THANK YOU! I read the Free Press for a hot minute and, just wasn't impressed. And, not foe nothing- and this will likely not be a popular opinion- she seems to be, um, very Isreal focused. CBS will be interesting moving forward.
Off topic: please send prayers to our Canadian neighbors today when the sentencing comes down for Chris and Tamera… our gratitude for those Canadian Truckers lighting the flame of freedom in the early days cannot be forgotten. These two amazing people have paid a price that for the Grace of God we barely escaped last November. God Bless both of them and all Canadians. Prayers from the USA. 🙏 🇺🇸🇨🇦🙏
https://www.rebelnews.com/live_updates_freedom_convoy_organizer_tamara_lich_faces_sentencing_in_ottawa
Update: 🚨BREAKING: Justice Heather Perkins-McVey sentences trucker organizer Chris Barber.
18 months conditional sentence, concurrent 3 month sentence for counselling disobedience of a court order. To be served in the community. Keep the peace, etc.
No info yet on Tamara!
2nd update: Good news: no additional jail time for Tamara Lich or Chris Barber.
Bad news: onerous house arrest provisions.
The real punishment was the longest mischief trial in Canadian history.
Total political vendetta by Doug Ford’s prosecutors.
Overall, better than hoped for and yet still an obscene outcome. They’re both basically back in covid lockdown 😠
Thank you all for your prayers!
Thank you for this update. I knew the sentencing was coming, but had lost track of the calendar. Those Truckers really were the difference in breaking the spell of Covid.
Canada’s (in)justice system is fully exposed. A peaceful protest against the tyrannical abuse of power led to a “mischief” charge with a potential 7-8 year prison term. Those who illegally misused the “emergency powers” apparently control the legal system.
The Trumpster has a meeting and lunch with the Canadian Prime Minister today. Wonder what will come out of that??
Is he with him now? The judge just recessed the sentencing until noon… perhaps awaiting instructions from the PM? 🤷♀️ fyi watching live updates from rebel news on X

My concern about David and Larry Ellison and Bari Weiss is not whether they are “liberal” or “conservative” but that they are Zionist and put defending Israel before the best interest of our country. I cancelled my subscription to Free Press because of dishonest coverage of Israel. There is a clear effort by billionaire Zionists to take over and censor US media—not in the defense of honest reporting but to gaslight Americans about Israel. Larry Ellison is also behind digital ID efforts and has bankrolled this effort in the UK. This would put all our information in that ID and allow for us to be completely controlled. We must oppose these efforts to control our lives!
Yes (and I'm relieved to see so many comments like this one on C&C!)
This is a power play and is definitely not a win for freedom of speech.
I hope Mr. Childers looks into this a little more. They also took over TikTok in order to influence the younger Americans. Israeli operatives are in full panic mode now that Americans are starting to see the outsized influence they've had over our own government, and are turning against it. This is what prompted the media takeover. This is not a win for free speech, not in the slightest.
As much as I like Jeff, he has a blind spot when it comes to Israel and Zionists. He just doesn’t see what more of us are noticing. I don’t like leftists or Zionists controlling our speech or gaslighting us.
Several of my personal friends and one relative, readers of Coffee and Covid, have mentioned this glaring 'blind spot'. And the defect is really overarching because Israel First and Zionism First is a subversion of sovereignty. These people have hijacked us and made us forlorn of government.
I really don't think that these people have a right to use the US Treasury as their personal piggy bank for their pet projects.
Sylvia, both points you made are what will make it 1984 on earth. I hope it doesn't come to that because the book did not have a happy ending.
We are being distracted by the little good they let us win and horrible FF events so we do not look at the real danger of digital ID and the NWO power biding their time till maybe 2030?
However, God says their plans will fail and after all the ridiculously fake politics revealed the last 5 years, there is nothing left to trust but Jesus. Personally after realizing science and history are mostly lies, I accepted I will never find out the truth, and came to the conclusion that I don't need to know the truth since I know what we have isn't.
Evil has always been this way and only God can end it.
Jesus-the way, the truth, and the life!
Dawn—there is great wisdom in your words. We may never find the truth but we must keep searching. There is a machine building that seeks total control. We must unite to defeat the machine.
We must not give up and unite to fight evil but we cannot end evil while it exists. It just comes back in another form, from every direction.
Only God can fix it at the right time and I look forward to it but it will probably get worse.
It is spiritual battle and they, the evil people, want to destroy us spiritually and recruit more spiritually dead people to do their bidding. If people didn't go along with evil, they wouldn't have power.
Philippians 4:8
Finally, 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.
Yes unity and the pursuit of excellence—with compassion and integrity. We are in a spiritual battle. A battle to remain human.
agreed.
Does anyone know what Jeff meant in his prologue on where he went so wrong on something ... he didn't say what though.
some sort of update (of a computer system, or the substack platform or something)
💯
Right. NO ONE gets the kind of payout Bari just got for her 175K subscriber ezine unless there is a clear expectation on what the agenda will be going forward. And we know what that is.
And I even doubt she really had 175K paid subscribers, based on the fact that even today, after she posts something on X she can’t get more than a few thousand views after 24 hours.
https://x.com/libertylockpod/status/1975235678997750196?s=46
Because I unsubscribed to Free Press I did not keep up. I am amazed to learn that despite the claim of 175,000 paid subscribers the site had very few views! The link you provided claimed a payoff to Weiss for her past and future pro-Zionist propaganda. Makes you wonder if this could be true! Thank you for this information.
How is supporting Israel against the best interests of the country? First of all the scriptures say that those who bless them are blessed and cursed are those who curse them. Secondly, we are all looking to see the return of the Messiah. As one of my clients said to me, when He comes, we can ask him- have you been here before?
I am not a biblical scholar but I am familiar with this issue. You are referring to Genesis 12:3? Why should this be interpreted to demand support for Israel? Hasn’t the Abrahamic Covenant been fulfilled in Christ and subsumed in the New Covenant?
Lisa—the Israel of the Bible, God’s Israel, is not the Israel (politically/geographically/spiritually) of today.
IDK how supporting israel is our best interest and kinda sounds like a threat. We send a lot of money there and have a lot of dual citizens in government so loyalty is divided. It does not look good.
The scriptures do say that but in the OT before Jesus so who are God's people now?
Aren't we who believe Jesus? Those who deny him are anti christ so only those who believe in God's Son are His people.
IDS is just as bad as TDS.
Never forget Rush Limbaugh. He was the undoubted creator of conservative talk radio when there was nothing on air except liberal nonsense. He always said he lived in “Realville.” I miss him so much! His three hours of snark and common sense flew by. I don’t know of anyone else who could rivet my attention that long.
Insightful and riveting and entertaining.
Buck and Clay, while seemingly nice guys, can't come close to filling those hours as skillfully and entertainingly as Rush did. I miss him more and more as each year passes.
Buck and Clay are a huge disappointment- a further dumbing down of our intellect. Honestly on the same level as Sean Hannity who is just the dumbest.
Sean Hannity's success puzzles me. He often has good guests but he doesn't let them talk much. He's all abut "me, me, me, I think this, I know that, blah blah blah" and then he'll basically ask the guests if they agree with what he just said and before long he interrupts the guests again. He's tiring to watch. And I like Buck and Clay well enough, but they aren't exceptional and I found them an odd choice to replace Rush, who was essentially irreplaceable.
I couldn't agree with you more. Hannity has been nails on a chalkboard for me for decades. He does just talk about himself and always talks over his guests. "I used to work in construction... I washed dishes at a restaurant... I shared a bathroom with 4 sisters" or whatever...2+ decades of this monotonous tone deaf crap- it's an insult to conservative Americans. He is the most boring, one dimensional voice on tv and radio today- I have no clue how he has stayed on air this long. Rant over- I'm just irritated at how dumbed down and propagandized we've become over the years. It's a real fight to find the truth. Thankfully C&C has become my Rush replacement.
Hannity has that slime Lindsay Graham on too much...and that's weird.
Hannity is unwatchable…..always! And a huge Trump ass-kisser! (I love DJT)
They screwed up when they didn't pick Todd Herman to replace those hours Rush used to fill.
Listened to him for 29 years and I'm not ashamed to say it. He was like a father figure for me.
My husband and I started a business in 1989 and we did a lot of driving most days in the process of doing our business. At that time Rush just had a local show in Sacramento (way back before he went national) and that's when we began listening to him in the car as we drove around all day. He really helped our younger selves define our opinions about everything political and cultural. His insights and sharp humor were second to none.
Ohhh you were one of the Rush originals in Sacramento!! How cool- did you go to his Rush Tour to Excellence? I think he only did a couple of them. He really did help my younger self to define my opinions on so many things - allowed me to learn to be a real critical thinker- not a "ditto head" in the sense of the word that liberals tried to define us.
No, never went to the the Rush Tour. But he always gave me so much to think about. People who criticized but never listened to him had no idea about the brilliance of what he said. When my kids were young they were listening to Rush because we had his show on all the time, and both my son and daughter grew up to be solidly conservative, and I know Rush had something to do with that. Rush is sorely missed by so many of us.
Rush’s “snark” was never mean-spirited though! The Golden EIB mic was the best🎙️📻🇺🇸❤️🩹
I feel the same.
Larry Ellison may call himself a conservative, but he's definitely not on the right side of the equation.
He's been pushing digital ID for 25 years, and is a major funder of The Blair Foundation in the UK. They are the architects of the digital ID that Starmer announced a couple of weeks ago. I find it depressing that a guy who thinks that the Chinese model is wonderful is buying up media. It's not good news at all.
Yes, exactly.
We get so excited at the label "conservative" that often we don't pay attention to what is actually happening.
The goal is to avoid the digital-ID surveillance nightmare that seems to be fast approaching. Any politicians or figures who are enabling that are not our friends.
Blair is a deeply, deeply troubling figure on the world stage. We should give him exactly zero respect or deference or trust.
Exactly.
From the comments, there seems to be a lot of eyes wide open on people like Ellison.
In the bigger picture, we badly need to disconnect from an internationalism controlled by a transnational super-agency of which Israel is a major front office. We the dispossessed majority are in real need of a believable home rule. At bottom, the issues are sovereignty and Liberty.
Anything involving Blair is going to be centralizing power for globalist technocracy. He's also a war criminal. Avoid like the plague, or TB. Oh wait...
Fear not my little children, says The Lord but if you do…
“Whenever I am afraid, I will trust in You. In God (I will praise His word), In God I have put my trust; I will not fear. What can flesh do to me?”
Psalms 56:3-4
I love this!
Great reminder, thank you!!
Thank you.
All due respect to Mr. Childers, I think he's missing the elephant in the room on this one, and should dig a little more into Bari Weiss's background. CBS and TikTok are now under the control of a foreign country which does not have the best interests of the US at heart, and whose leaders have stated openly that their most pressing need right now is to propagandize the American youth.
TikTok on anyone's phone is sucking up all the other data on the phone.
Including banking details.
And Ellison was standing right there when Operation Stargate was unveiled.
With all due respect The Elephant in the room was missed... but that is... How is there zero mention of Oct. 7th ON Oct. 7th ???
I hear they now describe Weiss as a conservative. Go figure.
From sex to lying about giving healthcare to illegal immigrants, corporate liberal media mouthpieces continue to exhibit the symptomology of Foot-and-mouth disease.
https://torrancestephensphd.substack.com/p/you-cannot-take-these-folks-seriously
You Cannot Take These Cats Seriously.
Weiss is a liberal in Conservative clothing. She and her TFP staff claim to be neutral, but their TDS is evident and their reporting leans heavily left…evidenced more in what they fail to report than what they actually report (I cancelled my subscription last year for that reason). But good on her for cashing in on the American dream. I, for one, hold no hopes for CBS stepping up to fair and balanced reporting, or for TFP. What will they have to offer now that all things TFP will be available on CBS for free🤷♀️? I suppose time will tell…
True. Her TDS is what made me laugh at how ridiculous someone would have to be to describe her as conservative. She isn't even close to being a RINO.
i am highly suspect of her. my gut tells me something is amiss. just like it told me not to take the covid jab. i always listen to my instincts.
Money talks. People who listen aren't to be trusted.
CBS will need to be sued into bankruptcy liquidation. You can add, CBS, NBC, NY Times, CNN and MSDNC.
Like you, I also cancelled my sub about a year ago. TFP's articles came across as wordy and oft-times pointless, in best old-skool liberal fashion.
I used to enjoy the TGIF that Nellie wrote but then she had to remind you weekly that she was gay & Bari was her “wife.” Not sure why that was news.
I think when homosexuals do that, they are trying to convince themselves that it’s OK. Their consciences may be whispering that it’s not.
Too bad you’all can’t separate your distaste for Woke-progressive-ism from the hate of all things liberal. Two different things. Woke-progressive-ism has infected liberalism, but it’s not necessarily axiomatic.
Woke-progressive-ism essentially is a suspension of free speech. That certainly is what “hate speech” is, from their point of view. But it’s actually possible to be liberal and also believe in free speech, believe it or not.
It’s the hypocrisy that I can’t separate myself from. Progressivism is very different than classical liberalism. And in it’s true sense, I consider myself a classical liberal. Bari Weiss is no classical liberal.
Classical liberalism is a whole different animal. Liberal, as the word's used in the US, usually suggests more government intervention to make sure not too many people fall through the cracks. Some people just aren't that able, but don't deserve to starve, is basically it. So, liberals support things like the civil rights movement, national health care, etc. Which doesn't automatically equate to believing in suspension of free speech, although recently it seemed like it.
Nope. It is exactly the opposite of more government intervention. You are confusing Classical liberalism with modern liberalism, which tends to support more government intervention and the promotion social welfare.
Classical liberalism was foundational to the American Revolution and influenced by early democratic institutions. Classical liberalism is a political and economic philosophy that emphasizes individual liberty, limited government, and free markets. It originated in the 17th and 18th centuries, drawing heavily on Enlightenment thinkers like John Locke, Adam Smith, and Montesquieu. Hence the term “CLASSICAL.”
The core principles of Classical Liberalism include individual freedom, limited government, the rule of law (meaning laws should apply equally to all and protect civil liberties), free markets, and private property (meaning ownership rights are central to personal autonomy and economic development). Healthcare and welfare are not among its tenants.
Bari is NOT a Classical Liberal as she claims. She is a MODERN liberal which is also much different than a “progressive” liberal.
I am not talking about classical liberalism, you’re the one who brought that in. I am referring to liberalism as it’s commonly viewed in the US. Classical liberalism would be something John Stuart Mill supported, but has little to do with this thread.
Yes. Dear husband and I were just talking about Camille Paglia.
A case in point!
What is Camille Paglia up to these days anyway?
I made almost this same comment!
I saw a clip of BW on the Joe Rogan podcast in which she was defaming Tulsi Gabbard. She cannot stand Tulsi. Calls her a "toady for Assad."
I watched that Rogan clip. That's the first time I've seen BW speak about anything in an interview setting, and frankly, I didn't find her to be at all impressive. Quite the opposite.
She is not to be trusted
Bari Weiss is a snake in the grass. She bashed Tulsi on Joe Rogan and couldn’t explain why. Ellison senior is gaining too much power IMO. He seems to love the surveillance state…scary.
Jack Smith is the tip of the iceberg. All roads of Arctic Frost will eventually lead to Barry Soetoro.
Barry is a player but he's not smart enough to set up and run this whole corrupt enterprise. Something above him prepared and worked a long range plan. It's so big and confusing on purpose. Tip of the iceberg is an apt term.
It's almost as if the one running the show was a liar and a murderer from the very beginning . . .
Edit: And that one is already defeated, he's just trying to commit as many fouls as possible before the clock runs out.
Evil is as evil does.
Exactly. Big cabal. Like Biden, Barry was a puppet. Who's pulling the strings?
In that list of senators is one US Representative: Mike Kelly of Pennsylvania. Mr. Kelly's district includes Butler, PA, and he was at the rally on July 13, in the VIP section. Where was the VIP section? Exactly between the shooter and President Trump. And I do mean exactly. The bullets were flying about 4 feet over his head, and not more than one or two feet to one side or the other. Coincidence? Maybe, but it's a pretty big coincidence.
These days, anything's possible.
Another interesting angle is Robert Mueller. At a later point in his "investigation" my husband and I were thinking he looked strangely like he might have dementia, he seemed as checked out mentally and only vaguely aware as Biden did, and we wondered about his mental state. This makes the whole thing look like another Biden type situation in which someone is "installed" in a position that they don't really have....not in control so others behind the scenes can pull all the strings. And yes, probably Barry.
I guess you don't find it interesting that Weiss calls herself an "ultra-zionist", and has 100,000 paid subscribers for the substack, but rarely 7,000 views. Bibi runs CBS news. That is the story.
As I read about Biden’s weaponized FBI tactics in order to maintain absolute power and influence the 2024 elections, I’m surprised Senator McConnell was not on that surveillance list. Uhm??? The Biden name will go down as the most corrupt dangerous greedy dirty family in our lifetimes. And may we never forget that!!
Good point. Probably a good indication of Republican traitors are the names that were not on the list.
I hardly think Lindsey Graham, Marsha Blackburn, and Josh Hawley are diehard conservatives. All betrayed Trump on J6, and all know what was going on and what is going on. I would give some a pass such as Tommy Tuberville and Ron Johnson, and others I know nothing about. They could all have been surveilled and that used to manipulate some, but it seems an interesting list to say the least.
Excuse me:Josh Hawley stepped forward on January 6. One of the few. Check the facts. Then the people walked right into the trap set by Pelosi et al to create the fake insurrection. And due process was stymied.
Reading about Arctic Frost brought Chuckie Scummer’s “six ways from Sunday” comment to mind.
I live in TN, Blackburn is not well liked by most of us conservatives!! Unfortunately she has the campaign money to get elected to Governor here!!
Why don’t you like her?
She has a poor voting record. She went on and on about Tik Tok all the while Biden was weaponizing various agencies against Trump and us. She has done virtually nothing for TN. I’ve called numerous times about our dangerous Interstates which are federally funded, no answers. She was a McConnellite, but at least he helped out KY tremendously. She’s just a talking head on the media , but changes her mind like the wind blows on issues. She is not very well liked here in TN.
I appreciate hearing from someone who has a front row seat. TY
The Bidens SHOULD go down as the most corrupt dangerous greedy dirty family in our lifetimes. But I am not holding my breath. "Washington" always gets off. Look at Hillary. Look at Fauci. The Bushes did a lot of damage, too.
McConnell is compromised & cooperates with the left
Mitch is CCP's puppet.
Via his influential Chinese wife Elaine Chao.
...and the dead sister-in-law who backed the Tesla into the lake and drowned.
I hadn't heard. Found this:
"Angela Chao: Shipping billionaire intoxicated when she drowned in Tesla, police report shows: A toxicology test found she had a blood alcohol concentration level of 0.233g per 100ml. The legal limit in Texas is 0.08g per 100ml."
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-68622898
Yep, 3 times the legal limit.
In my opinion, the current democrat party would have kicked out JFK, RFK, and MLK. They were too logical for the current crop
And Bill Clinton, too.
Though I would venture to say the whole woke agenda started during his presidency. He was basically a lefty liberal who fought his wife to become more centrist to get elected. Thankfully, she was unable (or unwilling) to follow his example and lost
They did kick out RFK, Jr. So.....yeah.
Mrs. RW
Are we still going to be naive about Jewish influence in our media? It doesn't matter what cover/disguise it comes under. Be wary, fellow gnoticers!
I agree, but prefer we call it Zionist or Israeli, which is distinct from Jewish. I love my fellow citizens who are Jewish and hope they do not receive backlash for what the country of Israel is doing to our country.
What precisely is Israel doing to the mighty US? Sounds hyperbolic and rather “it’s the Jews’ fault” to me (Canadian).
Many in US Congress have duo citizenship with Israel. Why?
“Many” is very precise. 😀
We can’t get an actual number, because every time any Congress person tries to get legislation introduced that would require sitting members of Congress to reveal whether they have dual citizenship, it gets shut down. It can’t even get out of committee!! Ask Thomas Massie!!
It is reported that over 100 members of Congress are flying Israeli flags in their government furnished offices — offices paid for by we, the taxpayers!!
I am opposed to dual citizenship for the same reason I am opposed to polygamy. Displaying another country’s flag in any government office should be illegal, IMO. And so should serving in a foreign country’s military.
This is one of the 4 initiatives Tucker put forth last week on his important podcast:
https://www.youtube.com/live/1pDRbwI4R0I?si=6faE6IRR8DlbFZJa
Booyah!
So are you opposed to people like Ilhan Omar who acknowledges that she only serves in order to help Somalia? Or is that okay?
This country is full of people with dual and triple citizenships. 😂😂
Israel involves the United States in foreign wars. Israel causes American blood to be shed. Israel's proxy lobby robs us of sovereignty. Israel grifts from the US Treasury. Israel persecutes Christians. And Israel shot up the USS Liberty. Israel sucks our life blood out of us. Israel gives us nothing in return except misery. We could also go into all the spying, the attacks on property, the operations of Mossad and all the Epstein/Mossad blackmailing ... all conducted on US soil.
Zionism is anti-Semitic secular ideology, a Marxist variant and therefore hostile to all of what Americans should be for.
And your proof for all these statements?
How about the Gaza genocide going on? Do you also require proof of that?
Watch Tucker episode with Jeffrey Sachs on what Israel is doing to the US.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1pDRbwI4R0I
fanatics deserve backlash. many Jewish people do not back what BB is doing to Gaza. And I am sure God does not approve of genocide either. the Israeli govt needs to check itself. If the people in govt had faith in God, they know He plans to preserve them until the end of time so no need for genocide.
“Genocide”? Maybe stop getting your news from Hamas.
yes genocide. you daft?
@Amos- Sure you love your fellow Jewish citizens…long as they behave the way you want them to and don’t get too uppity?
Sure you love pretzel logic, as long as it always leads you to racism.
You know what’s in your heart.
Meh 😏
Dang! The antisemitism list for this site is getting really long.
I have begun to think the same.
It’s frightening, how popular Jew hatred is becoming. Like Nazi Germany is resurrecting. And it wasn’t just Germany back then either. The rest of the world turned a blind eye on what Hitler was doing. The United States refused entry to a shipload of Jewish refugees (the MS St. Louis) and they returned to Hitler’s Germany to die.
Click on this Zen’s icon and I think you will be shocked at the raw hatred you see there.
These people say Nazis were good and Jews evil.
I attended a private school as a kid and I remember a lovely girl, I had no idea she was Jewish. She was just a friend. She invited me to her birthday party along with other girls, and I was utterly enraptured with her home, her family, and their food and prayers. Her parents and grandparents were so kind. I've never forgotten her. I was fortunate, my parents never indoctrinated us to think ill of other people. (I did have a quick look at the icon. Hate destroys the hater.)
🎉 Hallelujah
You’re sick. May you never awaken in a Twilight Zone episode crammed into a cattle car with your loved ones (standing room only) without food or water (which is just as well as there are no toileting facilities) and jostled for hours of utter wretched misery to a death camp (immediate, or after some time of inhuman labor and starvation).
Then when your people who survived this horror miraculously get their ancestral homeland returned (in stingy part by a hateful collection of nation rulers), you immediately get viciously attacked by powerful Arab nations, determined to finish the job that Hitler was interrupted doing.
And after you miraculously succeed in defeating these Arabs, you continue to have to fight off these attacks and the hatred of the world for the next 80 years to the present day.
Your hatred is a demonic sickness shared by far too many and you disgust me.
Well said!
Did you get paid $7,000 to post pro-Zio/juice social media defenses? If it was so bad, then why are they doing the same thing to Palestinians? Your diatribe doesn't work on gnoticers because gnoticers do their research. Cat's not going back in this bag.
Why that amount? Is that the going George Soros rate for posting Jew hatred on here?
I work only with God’s promise to bless those who support Israel
You are busy earning his curse and maybe $7,000 from Soros et al.
I don’t know what a gnoticer is supposed to be. But you’re full of sh*t liars.
😂😭 Aw, buddy its OK! Take a chill pill, i’m starting to feel bad for you.
P S. Also, have you actually READ the Bible? Even the Communist Scofield version is blatantly so called “anti-Semitic” thru and thru 🤷
Exactly.
Jew hating is as old as time. Check yourself.
I wonder why 🤔 Probably for no reason at all. Cat's already outta the bag on jews, hon. And I'll never stop, its literally my lineage to call them out.
Why point out the sliver in someone else’s eye while ignoring the log in your own? Hatred is the fruit of minds that reject truth.
😭😂
