Outrage and more outrage; deep-state swamp keeps on draining; bloated public health agencies muzzled; to recess or not to recess; Laken Riley Act changes the immigration game; fake news; more.
Posting this up here where it can be seen: I’m only about 1/2 of the way through the comments (refreshing my screen constantly adds another hundred to what I already passed) and I’ve laughed more today than I have in a long time. The wit of this crowd is so enjoyable. ❤️❤️ And you all have the BEST satire. Thanks for starting my day off with hope. All of you 🥰
I’ve recently been reading the comment section on Ken Klipperstein’s stack and it’s full of mean, derogatory insults, mostly aimed at conservatives. I’m sooo glad for the folks on this site. Polite, informative discourse! Thank you all. 🙏
I’ve noticed they have come out of the woodwork on X this past week by the thousands like pre-election levels and they are trying really hard to spread fear and lies about Trump and what is happening in almost every post. They are excessively insulting.
As far as recollection serves, this is the second time in my life that I have come across this excellent word, both times today. The first was from Brad's substack.
I don't think we did. I don't think we chose a lot of stupid things. When the counting goes on and on and one day you wake up and a prop that didn't pass the day after election day is now suddenly barely passing and it's one no sane person wants, you know it's a sham. But no one can afford to request a recount (it costs money, more than most people can afford) so what can you do? Start at the ground level right now for the next election and try to make it different. It's all I have.
For the record it's "couldn't care less". The implication is the level of caring has reached zero. If one "could care less" then the meter on the caring gauge is not yet resting on the limiting peg.
Yesterday I saw these on X, I was hoping Jeff would comment; maybe tomorrow.
"BREAKING: Chip Roy calls for Liz Cheney, Dr. Fauci and Mark Milley to immediately testify before Congress to determine why they were pardoned." If it happens and they are held in contempt of Congress or lie under oath the pardon won't help them.
"BREAKING: Vladimir Putin is reportedly seeking to have Anthony Fauci EXTRADITED to Russia to face COVID-era ‘Crimes Against Humanity’ Charges as part of a Deal to end the War in Ukraine."
If true I suspect it would be related to US Bio-labs in Ukraine. I hope both are true!
This could be part of Trump negotiations for ending the war in Ukraine - “he got pardoned here, but you are welcome to him” 😅
Even if not, Russia and the world have legit grievances with Fauci. I would consider him living out his life in a Siberian prison a level of justice. He would rue the day Biden pardoned him.
Did I not see awhile back that the Russian general who was accumulating the evidence of the US bio-labs in Ukraine was "mysteriously" murdered?
My observation: no one is yet getting anywhere near exposing the conspiracy of the plandemic and anyone who does gets killed by the military/intelligence/pharma complex death squads.
Juan O Savin said he was trying to track down who was trying to re fresh the HE and tritium components of several tactical nuclear weapons from 1994 that went missing during the transfer from the Ukraine back to Russia.
the nuclear material will keep for decades, but the HE and tritium degrades much more quickly, and must be replaces if the bomb is going to stay viable. It's not just the material, but expertise to do it. Hence the investigation by the assassinated Russian general (as it was their bomb, and signature if it were used) trying to track down the few countries who have the ability to do this ie. us, China , Britain, France, Israel.
Well, if that could be revealed. Yes. Hang Fauci high. I don’t care where. The Ukraine war revolved around Putin’s concerns about our bio labs near his borders. Makes sense now Putin may want to get his hands on the NIH cockroach. Thanks for that connection.
They used Sputnik, which was with the same technique as China's I think. But Putin was on board with all the measures so I would be surprised it he suddenly would try to hold anybody to account, if he didn't give push back before.
FauxQi is the root of the whole debacle. He funded the Wuhan lab work. Without the virus, there would have been no need for any type of (alleged) vaxxes.
They were allegedly working on bio weapons that specifically targeted ethnic Russians. I remember seeing the adverts on Telegram from several biolabs requesting Russian and only Russian blood donations. This is not news.
Bravo Mr. Milei, for speaking truth to the powerful WEF. Trans ideology strips identity from children just when they are discovering who they are. This is because, like morality, they’re cutting all moorings and anchors of self, leaving the next generation bereft of any point of reference or framing for their nature and purpose. This is yet another seismic shift in their development which accommodates transforming them into anything ghastly the powers that shouldn’t be desire.
For everyone else who are not naive impressionable children going along with this mind pestilence: those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities. <--- We are here. Let's hope Trump's bombshell EOs can reverse this slide into total ruin.
Well said. My only grandchild. Sterilized and mutilated by 16. Doesn’t consider himself any particular gender now. Going through many challenges because I believe he was vaccine injured. This is child sacrifice. Satanic. I had a true “Come to Jesus” moment on that. I was confused and He opened my eyes to what this really is. I couldn’t sleep for a long time. I live far away and never consulted.
Such heartbreak Janet. =( The waves of propaganda are tsunamis these days. Everything will surely be judged in that light.
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children. -Hosea 4:6
Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. -Luke 23:34
Tri, thanks for clarifying. This is a horrific situation and it is just incomprehensible that this can happen. It’s like a giant robot machine that takes innocent children and destroys their bodies for a lifetime of sickness. The machine uses parents, teachers, doctors, nurses, counselors, TV, media, the whole society to push children into the assembly line.
Weaponized empathy. It's so much easier to control feelings than it is to control facts. Take the time to watch this, they've destroyed the foundations of truth create an atmosphere where predators reign supreme while being lauded: https://old.bitchute.com/video/mcTxxZDbSjtr [4:47mins]
All moorings to morals, common sense, critical thinking, and discipline have been severed in the name of virtue signaling predatory idiocy. It turns out that the school system has always been a back door to destroying everything, they've just been smart enough to wait long enough for most to trust it before springing their trap. And by the time everyone figures it out it's too late. Should satan's patience and planning ever be underestimated?
How? (I feel like a broken record….) Following the money, i.e. greed, continues to answer many of the problems that plague us. It seems that there is a large medical industry built around this transitioning of children that is subsidized by those that have the philosophical underpinnings that TriTorch mentions below. The why for so many, though is simply the money.
There really are no words to express how I truly feel, but I am so sorry for you and your grandchild. I too believe vaccines are wreaking havoc not only on our children’s immune systems, but also their hormones. I keep praying for Kennedy’s confirmation as Director of HHS!
That's absolutely evil and cruel what was done to your grandchild. I can't even imagine the pain you feel. I'm so very sorry Janet. May your grandchild reach out to Jesus and find love and salvation.
The parents deliberately kept you in the dark, probably understanding you would push back & possibly talk sense into your grandson. Continue to pray for him, be honest in communication with him & provide support when / if he one day understands what he has done. Blessings 🙏
Off topic here, I want to thank everyone who donated through Laura's give send go for the stove. I can't put into words how grateful I am and I have a nearly impossible time reading the comments because I keep sobbing (I cry when I'm happy, too.) I have to walk away till I stop crying then come back and try to read again till I can't see from crying.
It's so rare when I can't find the words to say, but I am just amazed, grateful, humbled and so many other things that I can't find words for. Thank you, thank you, thank you. New stove is in the works and I am so happy. Thank you. ❤❤❤
Jeff always says our multipliers will make us feel great. But none made me feel as great as multiplying YOU FW! One of our own members who didn’t even ask for help. We are the hands and feet of The Lord. You have not been forgotten. 💜
I’ve loved the concept of multipliers since joining the C&C family. Jeff’s right, you feel good about contributing and it was especially heartwarming to help out a fellow C&Cer! My contribution wasn’t much as we’re retired and on a fixed income, but it’s a privilege to be part of this generous, wonderful community. It made us all happy to help in a time of need. God bless you with a bright future!
Aww FourWinds, so happy we could help out in your time of need!! We appreciate you and are very glad things are looking up for you now!! ❤️ God bless you!! 🙏
No, not yet, but there are most definitely enough funds for it. :) There's a small delay in getting funds to me (this is a very normal process and I completely understand it) and that is fine because I am dealing with a lot with my dad. The very good news is I have picked a stove out that is exactly what I need and it is getting ordered as soon as everything clears. I am so happy! :)
I think President Trump should demonstrate to FORMER President Biden that he he has no bad feeling toward the Biden family. To prove it, President Trump will personally assign them the same Secret Service team that was assigned to the Trump rally in Butler PA this past July.
Not to mention “pardoning himself”. DJT was trolling the advisors, the real president and the Guardian leapt to his defense. How can anyone prosecute a vegetable?
I like your point and don't mean to be contrary, but I think the problem with that lies in the fact that if that dirty bunch had not been working for the bidens, the Butler shooting would not have happened.
I was listening to Trump's short Inauguration speech again this morning and it occurred to me as I watched Pedo Biden sitting there hanging his head in shame that being forced to listen to Trump's speech is the most fitting punishment he will ever endure. Trump's speech literally covered Joe in shame and he will be remembered as such. As for Kamala, she was totally irrelevant!
I commented too, it appeared they all had to sit there for that short time and get slapped across the face over and over and over again during Trumps inaugural speech. It was delicious l!
no doubt he got millions for pardoning the 3 Chinese spies - so that is some comfort for him - let's hope Comer stays on the hunt to find out if the big guy got a huge pay day for those pardons
She looked like she had shopped at Ross or Marshalls clearance rack. It would have been fine for most of us, but for someone w her pocket book and all our tax $$ stashed in some special fund somewhere - seems like she could have picked something a step up from grandma-going-to-potluck outfit.
Was floored there was not a dress-code for an event like this. How the sweatshorts&hoodie and the see-through bustier just made it through the door is a disappointing. Can they claim ignorance? Intentional disrespect for a solemn historic ceremony? It’s not like they couldn’t afford to do a little better than that.
I must be the only one that wasn’t delighted in Biden having to endure the speech, because I was busy enjoying the fact that Kamala, Obama, the Clinton’s, and Bush’s had to. Joe was a tool, a puppet, a senile man being abused. But them?!?! I loved the look on their faces with each slap.
Agreed. I remember seeing in Wikileaks photos of the identical pizza bracelets that he and Obama wore … I think Obama gifted him one. Let’s not forget that Barry ordered $30k “hot dogs” to the White House, that members of his service detail have said he had “hot dogs” at the White House at all hours and frequently….We know who they are… Can someone please expose it …. Pizzagate not a conspiracy theory…
I doubt he’s capable of shame but At least he was embarrassed. And I’m glad all of us got to watch him suffer through that speech. He deserves much worse.
I enjoyed watching the left’s faces. They were truly speechless.
I noticed EVERYONE who walked past Hillary did not acknowledge her. Specifically, Obama looked down and said nothing. There must be A LOT of deep stuff going on in ‘Happy Land’ that we couldn’t even fathom.
The other thing that struck me was Bill, Hillary, Bush Jr and Trump are ALL the same age - 78. Trump looks the best of all of them and he’s been through the worst!
At least the Bushs held hands walking in while the Clintons did not and looked liked they hated each other. Crazy!
Conduct yourselves with wisdom toward outsiders, making the most of the opportunity. Let your speech always be with grace, as though seasoned with salt, so that you will know how you should respond to each person.
Had to comment before reading that Nicole Shanahan was on Megyn Kelly's show yesterday and was dropping some major truth bombs. She even brought up cloud seeding and geoengineering to which MK said, "I've never heard of this. We need to have another episode where you expand on the topic." I know this issue is primary for many C&C readers. She also talked about mRNA vaccine shedding and called for a worldwide moratorium on mRNA technology. MK has a big audience which is growing all the time, so it's good these topics are getting more exposure.
I find it laughable that Megyn Kelly has not heard of geoengineering! And to state that fact on national television.....geez!
And, I HIGHLY doubt a moratorium on mRNA technology will EVER happen, especially not after the $500B investment to establish Stargate. Larry Ellison is SO excited about advancing mRNA technology he's giddy!!! The link below is only a 16min video from 2 days ago. Fast forward to 10:45, he actually expresses how excited he is!
Well, she _could_ just be playing the "well, it's okay that you the audience never heard of it before now if _I'm_ just hearing of it" card. Permission to investigate further as opposed to coming off as "well, everyone should know that" which tends to shut people down.
If she didn't actually work for Fox News, I could understand that. However, Fox News has been reporting on geoengineering since at least 2015.
A simple search for "Fox News AND geoengineering reporting" brings up many links. I didn't read them so I don't know if they support or deny it.....but they've reported on it. But....maybe MK doesn't watch Fox News.......ROFL.
You look to be correct about mRNA tech. The whole subject matter about the plandemic conspiracy is YET to be touched. The bio-weapon shot is the ONE subject matter Trump has yet to touch. This subject appears to be the one aspect of the transhumanist agenda that is fanatically guarded. I hope I am wrong but so far....?
I truly believe people like Megyn don't know about this stuff because until very recently it was seen as "tin-foil hat" conspiracy. Kelly is much more open to listening to alternative views in the post-Covid world. Until reading comments here on C&C I had never heard of geoengineering or cloud seeding. It simply never came up in any discussions. As we say over and over, Covid opened eyes is so many ways.
And just for grins, here's a podcast interview, 1 day ago, of Karen Kingston talking about Stargate and AI and mRNA. I've only watched the first 20 minutes, but it sounds like she's not a fan.
"Shanahan pointed out that many engineers and pharmacological researchers working on the development of the mRNA tech are overlooking a fundamental truth about human biology: it can’t be programmed the way a computer system can.
“They think that you can program the human body as you program an AI system, as you program a computer system. And the trouble with that mentality is that nature…there’s an element to it that when you interject something like the mRNA vaccine, there’s a huge amount of stochastic randomness that can occur,” she noted.
“AI is a computer system. Human health is not,” she added.
Shanahan also criticized the fact that mRNA vaccine tech was at the forefront of Trump’s Stargate announcement given AI could be deployed in many other ways that directly benefit the U.S. economy.
“There’s so many that could have been shared in yesterday’s conference that are really excellent uses of AI,” she said. “I heard a few that were kind of out there and if deployed too quickly could lead to an extinction event. So I think we need to be careful.”
Good point. The whole medical paradigm is bankrupt because they view the human body as a machine that can be manipulated rather than an ecology where everything is related.
She also interviewed Sasha Stone right after Nicole and I was thrilled to see that. Sasha is one of my favorite Substacks of all time (tied with C&C and lovely Jenna’s Side). It was great to see a Substack author get exposure like that and she shared a bit of her history from being a hardline leftie to supporting Trump, and why. Of course nothing shares her story better than her own Substacks.
That may be true, but her influence is clearly growing and she is offering spoonfuls of previously forbidden knowledge to alot of normies. I don't think we should scoff at it.
I told my friend about cloud seeding last summer and they found it unbelievable. Literally, the next week, Good Morning America reported on it. I can't wait to tell them about targeted individuals and DEWs. Cloud seeding is childs play in comparison.
One need only look at a color coded map of the voting districts where the vast majority of these so-called civil servants live: blue, blue, blue! Non-partisan is one of those terms that has gone the way of the dodo bird. Zero credibility, just like the words 'expert', 'safe and effective' and 'public health'.
This is why I have always suggested that these agencies be scattered around the country into small cities and away from the big blue liberal cities. You will get better employees in the smaller cities and the quality of life is better.
Well they moved a couple of USDA offices to Kansas City MO toward the end of Trump's term, although I read that about 40% of the employees refused to move and quit. KC is already a blue island in a red state and not that excited about even more liberals moving here. It's a great idea in theory - real estate prices here are a fraction of DC's so it saves the taxpayers money. But move hundreds of liberals into some smallish town like say, Lincoln, Nebraska and you are importing a problem - Trump lost Lancaster county 47 to 51% - one of only 2 counties that went blue in Nebraska. due to the university and state gov located there. Point is, despite being red lots of Midwest counties are teetering due to liberals fleeing the mess they have made of bigger cities and bringing their policies to the places they move to. Conservatives in these areas tend to be complacent until they wake up and find a drag queen show at their local library, a big tax increase for social programs, or a solar farm being built in their back yards. By then, it's an uphill battle to displace them in local governments.
Warning: local matters, and complacency is dangerous!
You make good points and I am sympathetic with you. I worked in D.C. and the high concentration of Democrats in U.S. government service is damaging and disheartening. Although we had a dozen active field offices around the country, necessarily near large airports, what I was thinking of were the several smaller offices that we had in places like Pittsburg KS, Jeffersonville IN, and Hagerstown MD. Ever heard of them? Yeah, me neither. No hints of a single problem from any of them either.
By the way, I lived in a Kansas City suburb for a couple of years shortly after entering the job market, and my wife has midwestern roots (Illinois and Iowa). I'm encouraged that about 40% of those transferring employees quit. That's what these agencies need: new ideas and energy.
Living in D.C. and the suburbs if stifling, and talk about the leftist ideology turning the vote in an area, Virginia would be a red State if half of the democrats who work in and around the D.C. area but live in the Virginia Counties next to D.C. were not there.
IRS has a big office in KC as well, and I have a staunch Conservative friend who works there. Sole support for herself and disabled son and too close to retirement to quit but said this week at work has been h*ll. Liked a lot of her co-workers and they didn't talk politics at work and turns out nearly all of them have severe TDS and she now dreads going into work each day. They have been 'in person', not working from home for some time now. We also have a big 'federal building' in downtown KC, no idea what they do there and there are also a GSA regional building here. So I guess no wonder KC is so blue, lol. I too am in the suburbs of KC, was a nice red enclave for decades that is turning more purple all the time due to KC refugees fleeing the high crime, high taxes and bad schools. Sigh. We are organized and fighting but too many people didn't pay attention til Covid came along.
And yeah, know Pittsburg KS well - my son graduated from Pittsburg State, it's actually a pretty conservative university, at least in the College of Technology and very reasonable in cost - they give in state tuition to students from any MO counties that border the state of KS + a lot of scholarships. Said his only woke professor was in a technical writing class.
“Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.”
Yeah. We ain't outa the woods by a long chalk. "Golden Age" my ass! Trump's actions are certainly better than another stick in the eye. But he's still WRONG on some of the big problems. The Big Storm is still coming.
I am so sick of the federal (and state, but taking on federal would be a good start!) bureaucracy!!!! It’s so slow, inefficient, cumbersome, expensive and often works against the citizens of this country instead of for them. I really want to see it dismantled!! And yes I just had a very frustrating and negative experience with it this very morning!! Positive changes can’t come soon enough!!!
We have been CONDITIONED over decades to believe the federal govt cannot move quickly. So we wait and wait and wait, term after term and see no movement on issues of national importance.
And then in walks Trump! His very pace shows us it is all LIES! LIARS!!! Liars!! If the govt can never get anything done then WHY CAN TRUMP GET IT DONE SO FAST?! Because he cares…..they didn’t and don’t. It only has moved fast when it’s something THEY wanted. Ukraine got money quickly and regularly!!! Why?!!! Because that’s what the power wanted. Screw the citizens and what they want.
Where else can you get the experience of waiting in line for 3 hours to be greeted by a bureaucrat who's sense of equity is treating everyone with equal contempt as a sign of their own fair mindedness?!!
RL, this is long, but it's a perfect example of what you're saying and it shows how dangerously defiant and vicious a blue state government can be.
It's so brazen it almost defies belief.
We need help here. Please pray for washington.
"Urgent - Parental Rights Law is Under Attack in Olympia
EDUCATE
Half a million Washington State citizens signed the parents' rights initiative 2081 which became law - and now it's about to be gutted by "changes" proposed by Olympia
Proposed House Bill 1296 - is NOT promoting a safe and supportive public education system
Instead, the proposed rewrite of the Parental Rights Law eliminates a parents’ ability:
To see their child’s Medical or health records, or records of any mental health counseling
To receive notification when any medical service or medications are given to their child or if their health insurance is impacted
To receive notice if their child is involved in a crime
To receive notice and be able to opt their child out of instruction on topics associated with comprehensive sexual education that may be taught in settings other than health class
The proposed so-called corrections add "protections" for:
A teacher or administrator to keep a secret file on your child
Students to use the bathroom, locker room, and shower based on their self-selected "gender"
Students to participate in sports that align with their "gender identity"
ORGANIZE
Right now there are only 1122 people opposing this bill - that is not enough!
We must continue to advance a wide-spread collective response to promote preserving the Parental Rights Law - as written.
ACTIVATE
Now is the time to contact your two State Representatives and your State Senator and ask each of them to...
"Please support the Parental Rights Law - as written"
Click Here to Find your District Representatives and Senators - Please contact them Today!
PS - One Washington is finalizing plans to air several television commercials to address the crucial topic of protecting children and parental rights - please join the effort to protect Parents' Rights by contacting your elected representatives today!
Praying for all parents there who oppose the changes! Might as well just give your kids up to state run homes at birth if they can do stuff like this 😕
I was thinking while reading Jeff's info about the delays that I, too, am SICK of this nonsense. I know part of it is checks and balances and whatnot but paralyzing government from being able to perform basic functions and duties is ridiculous in the 21st century.
"The new category, Schedule F, would apply only to federal employees in “confidential, policy-determining, policy-making, or policy-advocating” positions. Agencies must identify those politically-sensitive positions —positions, not employees— and reclassify those positions as Schedule F."
Right?? No one who is supposed to be *working for the citizens of this country* should have any additional privileges compared to citizens (except for special cases like secret service protection for a limited number of people for example). But Congress not having to participate in Obamacare and some workers not being subject to mandates or at will employment when everyone else is, that’s wrong.
Why will anyone already at the top rung of the un-fireable regular schedule accept a promotion to a Schedule F position and thereafter be at risk of firing, just to earn a few more dollars?
Exactly. Why go from ‘tenured’ to ‘at will’ for a few more bucks? They may have to actually work… reminds me of lazy teachers who play videos during class so they can sleep in the back of the classroom.
Right, but what sometimes happens in government work is people are high-pressured to do something unethical, unsafe, or even illegal. With civil service protections they can say no and they're not likely to be fired. Their situation will be more precarious under Schedule F.
I love that Mrs. Vindman is upset her husband didn’t receive a pardon. I guess she didn’t realize that “useful idiots” like her husband are always the first to be lined up when they outlive their usefulness.
Biden (well the posse behind him) didn’t forget him. It was purposeful. They strategically prepared for who would and wouldn’t get one and when. “They” were (as Biden…) quoted as saying about Jack Smith “he screwed up for us, and doesn’t deserve it” or something to that effect. They are punishing their own. Fear is their motivator.
Jeff, respectfully; pros and cons (not pro's and con's). Same for plural NGOs (not NGO's) and dates (1960s not 1960's). Saying it here because apostrophe misuse is epidemic and drives us grammar police crazy.
Hey, didn't we already have an Apostrophe-gate a little while ago? With FJB's staff trying to do a little damage-control on his comment about Trump's supporters and garbage?
Apostrophe abuse: its a serious problem. Weve got to avoid that trap. 😉
Joanie Higgs, you are right about the ‘s. The crazy spell checks on our technology computers and phones change it every time! I have to go back and fix and the there comes a red line! I spelled it wrong and I know I didn’t! Someone needs to get up to speed and fix! That will give them something to do besides work on mRNA jabs. Dr. Makis has a protocol. It does work.
And we are supposed to believe they can develop individual cancer cures, when autocorrect does not work properly and the dictionary it uses is sadly incomplete.
Joanie, thanks for pointing this out. I'm sure Jeff wants to use them correctly. I have recently written "J6'ers", and was not sure if that was right. Probably not. The one that irks me is its versus it's. Some people always get them backwards.
Thanks, Dave and yes, J6ers without the mark, although it's probably not a real 'word' and looks weird. J6-ers, perhaps? ha ha.
I know what you mean about its and it's... a bit of a mind bender because it is inherently possessive, so should have one, but since it needs to be distinguished from the contraction (it is, it's) maybe that's why we don't use it there...
I use this technique Geezermann. I learned it in the public schools back in the 70's. Back then we had more time for grammar because we weren't being taught about gender ideology theory and other perverted creepy nonsense.
Ok, since we're at it and things have me more hopeful than I've been in decades, would it be possible for Mr. Trump to issue an EO punishing people who write "loose" when they meant "lose?"
Recently the most misspelled word has been lead when it should be led. Otherwise excellent writers are oblivious, and I can’t understand the carelessness. 😵💫
Joanie 👍 I noticed that my spellcheck ALWAYS autocorrupts ALL of those to have an apostrophe every single time! And I can’t figure out why. I spend more time (finger typing) correcting their errors and making new ones becoming frantic because I just want to post and move on. 🤣 Autocorrupt helps me about as much as it hurts me so it’s no better turning it off but this one drives me nuts.
And let’s discuss how the “u” “i” and “o” button placement next to each other destroys communications when not using a keyboard. Qwerty is engrained in my mind but it was made for manual typing, not digital keyboards. The sheer number of words that change meaning when just one of those letters is replaced with the other is unreal.
I give Jeff the benefit of the doubt, since he has limited time to write and doesn’t always have time to thoroughly proofread, but yes, that drives me bonkers as well 😩
That he graciously liked your comment says it all.
The boy's a southern gentleman and a fine legal mind. If anyone knows the value and potentially crucial potentials of clear and correct writing, it's Jeff.
Meanwhile, to add my 2 cents to an already long thread, there's also the insidious and growing menace of using I instead of me. It's a menace, I tell you! lol 'The rainstorm ruined John and I's hike.'
Like me, everyone from the south knows the correct form is 'I's goin' on a hike!'
-“By banning their external communications, the Trump Administration is sending a clear, humiliating internal message: We’re in charge now. For the agencies’ arrogant whitecoats accustomed to wielding massive “expert” influence with virtually no oversight or accountability, it’s like being sent back to kindergarten. A strict kindergarten. Remedial kindergarten.
No talking without raising your hand!”
This made me grin, they must be soooo angry and frustrated!! They can get a little taste of their own medicine (no pun intended 😆) for once!! They tried to silence us with “misinformation” and “disinformation” labels as well as social media censorship but now *they’re* the ones being shut up 😆😁

me too
Things are reaching a point here every day that I've had to bump up to three cups of coffee to get thru it.
Anyone else?
They don't even understand what she's saying.
Just a bunch of anoetic automatons.
As far as recollection serves, this is the second time in my life that I have come across this excellent word, both times today. The first was from Brad's substack.
I got it from gato about a year ago
Km the troll. Go away!
Kim is back and she brought her friend Tammy with her.
I was just gonna send up the warning rocket about Tammy. Thanks.
I read somewhere that Shifty Schiff is behind this.
I'm sure. BTW, I think you spelled a word wrong. It should have 2 t's, not an f and a t.
🤣
🤣🤣🤣
Such a disgrace that California morons elected Schiff to the Senate. He should be in jail.
I don't think we did. I don't think we chose a lot of stupid things. When the counting goes on and on and one day you wake up and a prop that didn't pass the day after election day is now suddenly barely passing and it's one no sane person wants, you know it's a sham. But no one can afford to request a recount (it costs money, more than most people can afford) so what can you do? Start at the ground level right now for the next election and try to make it different. It's all I have.
Ditto in Washington State. We had all mail elections before they were 'cool'.
🎯
But of course.
Wouldn't surprise me a bit. You could smell his fear THROUGH the TV re: Jan 6 Committee during the confirmation hearings so far. He's a snake.
pardoned for no crime
Oh surely not!!!
snrrrrrk
For the record it's "couldn't care less". The implication is the level of caring has reached zero. If one "could care less" then the meter on the caring gauge is not yet resting on the limiting peg.
Of course
Yesterday I saw these on X, I was hoping Jeff would comment; maybe tomorrow.
"BREAKING: Chip Roy calls for Liz Cheney, Dr. Fauci and Mark Milley to immediately testify before Congress to determine why they were pardoned." If it happens and they are held in contempt of Congress or lie under oath the pardon won't help them.
"BREAKING: Vladimir Putin is reportedly seeking to have Anthony Fauci EXTRADITED to Russia to face COVID-era ‘Crimes Against Humanity’ Charges as part of a Deal to end the War in Ukraine."
If true I suspect it would be related to US Bio-labs in Ukraine. I hope both are true!
This could be part of Trump negotiations for ending the war in Ukraine - “he got pardoned here, but you are welcome to him” 😅
Even if not, Russia and the world have legit grievances with Fauci. I would consider him living out his life in a Siberian prison a level of justice. He would rue the day Biden pardoned him.
“That’s a nice pardon you got there…..care to tell us why you got it? I’m not asking……”
I was hoping Jeff would mention that about Fauci. Sure, maybe we can't get him because of the pardon, but why not hand him off to Russia?
I’ll help him pack.
Make sure it’s summer clothing only.
The frozen tundra is really warm.
It’s global warming dontcha know 😬😆
I noticed our taxes are making it cooler.
So, I guess throwing money on a fire works…….
Did I not see awhile back that the Russian general who was accumulating the evidence of the US bio-labs in Ukraine was "mysteriously" murdered?
My observation: no one is yet getting anywhere near exposing the conspiracy of the plandemic and anyone who does gets killed by the military/intelligence/pharma complex death squads.
A reasonable conclusion. It’s not like there hasn’t been precedent.
Juan O Savin said he was trying to track down who was trying to re fresh the HE and tritium components of several tactical nuclear weapons from 1994 that went missing during the transfer from the Ukraine back to Russia.
HE? Helium = He. I thought they were H (Hydrogen) bombs.
I'll admit that after awhile I did stop paying attention to what they were making bombs with. As a child, it just gets to be too much to know.
High Explosives. A conventional explosion is required to detonate the nuclear explosion
Ooohhh! I did not know that...or if I did, I had forgotten all about it. Thank-you!
the nuclear material will keep for decades, but the HE and tritium degrades much more quickly, and must be replaces if the bomb is going to stay viable. It's not just the material, but expertise to do it. Hence the investigation by the assassinated Russian general (as it was their bomb, and signature if it were used) trying to track down the few countries who have the ability to do this ie. us, China , Britain, France, Israel.
Drag Gates into that as well.
Please!
Ooh those are encouraging developments!! It would be amazing if Fauci were to be sent to Russia to stand trial!
Did Russia use mRNA jabs? I read they had their own (Sputnik?) so I’m not sure Putin has any pull in this. Or would want to.
As far as I know we have no idea what was happening in those bio-labs, but Putin might know.
Well, if that could be revealed. Yes. Hang Fauci high. I don’t care where. The Ukraine war revolved around Putin’s concerns about our bio labs near his borders. Makes sense now Putin may want to get his hands on the NIH cockroach. Thanks for that connection.
They used Sputnik, which was with the same technique as China's I think. But Putin was on board with all the measures so I would be surprised it he suddenly would try to hold anybody to account, if he didn't give push back before.
FauxQi is the root of the whole debacle. He funded the Wuhan lab work. Without the virus, there would have been no need for any type of (alleged) vaxxes.
They were allegedly working on bio weapons that specifically targeted ethnic Russians. I remember seeing the adverts on Telegram from several biolabs requesting Russian and only Russian blood donations. This is not news.
Sounds like a rumor.
Could be. Definitely wait and see on this one.
#1 Lord! I hope that's true about Putin and fauxqi.
#2 Oh! Chip Roy! I hope that's true, too!
Wouldn't THAT be JUSTICE! to hand Fraudcci over to the Russians....
I hope the family and friends of Laken Riley find some peace in the passing of the bill in her name.
I don’t imagine anyone could find peace in that situation. So sad.
My thoughts exactly. I would be more unsettled.
🥲
Bravo Mr. Milei, for speaking truth to the powerful WEF. Trans ideology strips identity from children just when they are discovering who they are. This is because, like morality, they’re cutting all moorings and anchors of self, leaving the next generation bereft of any point of reference or framing for their nature and purpose. This is yet another seismic shift in their development which accommodates transforming them into anything ghastly the powers that shouldn’t be desire.
For everyone else who are not naive impressionable children going along with this mind pestilence: those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities. <--- We are here. Let's hope Trump's bombshell EOs can reverse this slide into total ruin.
Well said. My only grandchild. Sterilized and mutilated by 16. Doesn’t consider himself any particular gender now. Going through many challenges because I believe he was vaccine injured. This is child sacrifice. Satanic. I had a true “Come to Jesus” moment on that. I was confused and He opened my eyes to what this really is. I couldn’t sleep for a long time. I live far away and never consulted.
Such heartbreak Janet. =( The waves of propaganda are tsunamis these days. Everything will surely be judged in that light.
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children. -Hosea 4:6
Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. -Luke 23:34
Know not what they do???? Wrong!
Many know exactly what they are doing and they do it with intent and malice.
I am speaking of Janet’s children who did this to her grand daughter LamedVav
Tri, thanks for clarifying. This is a horrific situation and it is just incomprehensible that this can happen. It’s like a giant robot machine that takes innocent children and destroys their bodies for a lifetime of sickness. The machine uses parents, teachers, doctors, nurses, counselors, TV, media, the whole society to push children into the assembly line.
How can so many participate in this?
Weaponized empathy. It's so much easier to control feelings than it is to control facts. Take the time to watch this, they've destroyed the foundations of truth create an atmosphere where predators reign supreme while being lauded: https://old.bitchute.com/video/mcTxxZDbSjtr [4:47mins]
All moorings to morals, common sense, critical thinking, and discipline have been severed in the name of virtue signaling predatory idiocy. It turns out that the school system has always been a back door to destroying everything, they've just been smart enough to wait long enough for most to trust it before springing their trap. And by the time everyone figures it out it's too late. Should satan's patience and planning ever be underestimated?
https://tritorch.com/degradation/!CommonCoreELASocialJusticeActivismIndoctrination.mp4
How? (I feel like a broken record….) Following the money, i.e. greed, continues to answer many of the problems that plague us. It seems that there is a large medical industry built around this transitioning of children that is subsidized by those that have the philosophical underpinnings that TriTorch mentions below. The why for so many, though is simply the money.
There really are no words to express how I truly feel, but I am so sorry for you and your grandchild. I too believe vaccines are wreaking havoc not only on our children’s immune systems, but also their hormones. I keep praying for Kennedy’s confirmation as Director of HHS!
This genocidal tragedy is (and the hundreds? thousands?) like it is beyond words. Add my little prayers for you and your grandson to the mix.
And just think , Trump just opened the floodgates for even more mrna vaccines. Pray.
We need a death penalty for this.
Yes, we do, Phil. Janet, I am so sorry, and I wish that this remedy could be applied to your grandchild’s “enablers“ – damagers.
I am so sorry, Janet. 😥❤️
Prayers for you and your grandchild, Janet. Like covid, some of these "developments" are causing many people to reconnect with their spiritual life.
That's absolutely evil and cruel what was done to your grandchild. I can't even imagine the pain you feel. I'm so very sorry Janet. May your grandchild reach out to Jesus and find love and salvation.
The parents deliberately kept you in the dark, probably understanding you would push back & possibly talk sense into your grandson. Continue to pray for him, be honest in communication with him & provide support when / if he one day understands what he has done. Blessings 🙏
So sorry to hear this Janet. A true tragedy. I pray for all those traumatized by this evil practice.
😢so very sorry.
I'm hugging you in my heart.
Janet, as a grandmother myself my heart breaks for you.😢
Janet, my heart breaks for these children and for those who tried to protect them, but we’re not heard.
There’s gonna be hell to pay.
I'm so heartbroken for you, Janet.
This is truly heart wrenching and it must be stopped. I’m so sorry, Janet.😞
"Trans ideology strips identity from children just when they are discovering who they are."
Brilliant and succint, Tri...
As always, TT, you have nailed ALL THAT! Three Flames for Tri Torch!! 🔥🏆🔥🏆🔥
Thanks Susan! =)
Off topic here, I want to thank everyone who donated through Laura's give send go for the stove. I can't put into words how grateful I am and I have a nearly impossible time reading the comments because I keep sobbing (I cry when I'm happy, too.) I have to walk away till I stop crying then come back and try to read again till I can't see from crying.
It's so rare when I can't find the words to say, but I am just amazed, grateful, humbled and so many other things that I can't find words for. Thank you, thank you, thank you. New stove is in the works and I am so happy. Thank you. ❤❤❤
Jeff always says our multipliers will make us feel great. But none made me feel as great as multiplying YOU FW! One of our own members who didn’t even ask for help. We are the hands and feet of The Lord. You have not been forgotten. 💜
Beautiful comment, Sunnydaze
I second your comment Sunnydaze!! 🙂
Unlike the government, your C & C family comes through. ❤️
😄 We are NOT from the government and we are here to help.
🎯🎯🎯
*Actually* help, not just pretend to! 😁
Comment of the day!!!
Amen ❤
oxoxoxoxoxo
We got you covered here at C&C.
Happy cooking!
I’ve loved the concept of multipliers since joining the C&C family. Jeff’s right, you feel good about contributing and it was especially heartwarming to help out a fellow C&Cer! My contribution wasn’t much as we’re retired and on a fixed income, but it’s a privilege to be part of this generous, wonderful community. It made us all happy to help in a time of need. God bless you with a bright future!
FourWinds - I know that I can speak for all of us C&Cers. You are very welcome!
I missed the GSG. Saw comments about it yesterday. Is she good to go?
Yes Beckadee. Many donated. 🥰
I cry happy tears too! Thankful for the invitation to help😊 It's a blessing to be able to give.
I'm weeping as well.
Aww FourWinds, so happy we could help out in your time of need!! We appreciate you and are very glad things are looking up for you now!! ❤️ God bless you!! 🙏
You're welcome. I hope it was enough with some extra, as well!!
To fix the shower too!!
YES, that will definitely be happening as well!
Yay!!! 😍
Yay! So happy for your future baking joy!
You got your new stove? Great, that's amazing. I am so pleased. It wonderful to hear from you
No, not yet, but there are most definitely enough funds for it. :) There's a small delay in getting funds to me (this is a very normal process and I completely understand it) and that is fine because I am dealing with a lot with my dad. The very good news is I have picked a stove out that is exactly what I need and it is getting ordered as soon as everything clears. I am so happy! :)
I think President Trump should demonstrate to FORMER President Biden that he he has no bad feeling toward the Biden family. To prove it, President Trump will personally assign them the same Secret Service team that was assigned to the Trump rally in Butler PA this past July.
You win the internet today!!!
LOL
That is perfect. But they will always need to check their schedule first in case the First Lady has something else scheduled.
Not to mention “pardoning himself”. DJT was trolling the advisors, the real president and the Guardian leapt to his defense. How can anyone prosecute a vegetable?
I like your point and don't mean to be contrary, but I think the problem with that lies in the fact that if that dirty bunch had not been working for the bidens, the Butler shooting would not have happened.
Sean Curran has been officially announced as the new head of the Secret Service. But Biden can have the rest of them.
PERFECT!!!!!
😆
🙌
I was listening to Trump's short Inauguration speech again this morning and it occurred to me as I watched Pedo Biden sitting there hanging his head in shame that being forced to listen to Trump's speech is the most fitting punishment he will ever endure. Trump's speech literally covered Joe in shame and he will be remembered as such. As for Kamala, she was totally irrelevant!
Hmmm I thought Joe was taking a nap myself….did that trick a few times in church when I was young 😂I don’t think Joe has shame in his repertoire
Is he even cognizant enough to recognize any shame? He's just a narcissistic pedophile with dementia.
Hubs always says he’s just checking for pinholes. 🤔
I commented too, it appeared they all had to sit there for that short time and get slapped across the face over and over and over again during Trumps inaugural speech. It was delicious l!
no doubt he got millions for pardoning the 3 Chinese spies - so that is some comfort for him - let's hope Comer stays on the hunt to find out if the big guy got a huge pay day for those pardons
While I'd love to even consider that O'Biden was "hanging his head in shame," I suspect he was just looking at the lunch menu he was holding.
Dozing.
I did catch him looking at his watch shortly after Trump began speaking.
Checking ice cream flavors.😁
"As for Kamala, she was totally irrelevant!" Heck, she couldn't even get coverage about that horrible sixties zippered outfit she was wearing!
She looked like she had shopped at Ross or Marshalls clearance rack. It would have been fine for most of us, but for someone w her pocket book and all our tax $$ stashed in some special fund somewhere - seems like she could have picked something a step up from grandma-going-to-potluck outfit.
Was floored there was not a dress-code for an event like this. How the sweatshorts&hoodie and the see-through bustier just made it through the door is a disappointing. Can they claim ignorance? Intentional disrespect for a solemn historic ceremony? It’s not like they couldn’t afford to do a little better than that.
Money doesn't by class.
Ms Harris cares less about her wardrobe than what’s in her glass I’m thinking. Probably has tied a few on over the last several weeks, months, etc.
So right. She was always just a cutout.
Like the faint buzz of a mosquito in the swamp.
“I used to be a contendah!”
I doubt he heard a word. He was sleeping off in lala land
I must be the only one that wasn’t delighted in Biden having to endure the speech, because I was busy enjoying the fact that Kamala, Obama, the Clinton’s, and Bush’s had to. Joe was a tool, a puppet, a senile man being abused. But them?!?! I loved the look on their faces with each slap.
I don't by any means disagree, but I do think you're being too easy on Joe.
Joe's a straight up narcissistic sociopath, and has been for many decades.
He's a monumentally traitorous thief who molests girls, including his own daughter, and turns good dogs into very bad dogs.
I will never give him the benefit of any doubt or feel for him even the smallest trace of empathy.
Agreed. I remember seeing in Wikileaks photos of the identical pizza bracelets that he and Obama wore … I think Obama gifted him one. Let’s not forget that Barry ordered $30k “hot dogs” to the White House, that members of his service detail have said he had “hot dogs” at the White House at all hours and frequently….We know who they are… Can someone please expose it …. Pizzagate not a conspiracy theory…
No, I don't think there's anything theoretical about it, either. There's just too much out there to ignore.
Yes... so apropos!
I doubt he’s capable of shame but At least he was embarrassed. And I’m glad all of us got to watch him suffer through that speech. He deserves much worse.
Too bad he didn't understand half of it.
Oh he understands, alright.
He's just a sociopath who doesn't care.
Phil,
I enjoyed watching the left’s faces. They were truly speechless.
I noticed EVERYONE who walked past Hillary did not acknowledge her. Specifically, Obama looked down and said nothing. There must be A LOT of deep stuff going on in ‘Happy Land’ that we couldn’t even fathom.
The other thing that struck me was Bill, Hillary, Bush Jr and Trump are ALL the same age - 78. Trump looks the best of all of them and he’s been through the worst!
At least the Bushs held hands walking in while the Clintons did not and looked liked they hated each other. Crazy!
The Left are very good at hating each other. Basically, they are narcissists.
I think Biden knows exactly what he’s done and enjoys every bit of it. He has not a drop of innocence in him.
Irrelevant yet somehow dangerous : (
You sure he wasn't asleep?
Conduct yourselves with wisdom toward outsiders, making the most of the opportunity. Let your speech always be with grace, as though seasoned with salt, so that you will know how you should respond to each person.
— Colossians 4:5-6 NAS
Thanks Janice. From Mystic Heart yesterday:
Our deeds are the medicine
by which the world heals itself.
It's not size and quantity that matter.
Only one small, good deed
and everything could fall into place.
Which deed will that be?
It could be anyone.
Whatever you can do,
do it believing that
this is the one to tip the scales.

What seeds are you planting today?
Had to comment before reading that Nicole Shanahan was on Megyn Kelly's show yesterday and was dropping some major truth bombs. She even brought up cloud seeding and geoengineering to which MK said, "I've never heard of this. We need to have another episode where you expand on the topic." I know this issue is primary for many C&C readers. She also talked about mRNA vaccine shedding and called for a worldwide moratorium on mRNA technology. MK has a big audience which is growing all the time, so it's good these topics are getting more exposure.
I find it laughable that Megyn Kelly has not heard of geoengineering! And to state that fact on national television.....geez!
And, I HIGHLY doubt a moratorium on mRNA technology will EVER happen, especially not after the $500B investment to establish Stargate. Larry Ellison is SO excited about advancing mRNA technology he's giddy!!! The link below is only a 16min video from 2 days ago. Fast forward to 10:45, he actually expresses how excited he is!
https://rumble.com/v6chw54-globalist-crime-syndicate-transhumanist-technocracy-marches-on-mrna-cancer-.html
Well, she _could_ just be playing the "well, it's okay that you the audience never heard of it before now if _I'm_ just hearing of it" card. Permission to investigate further as opposed to coming off as "well, everyone should know that" which tends to shut people down.
If she didn't actually work for Fox News, I could understand that. However, Fox News has been reporting on geoengineering since at least 2015.
A simple search for "Fox News AND geoengineering reporting" brings up many links. I didn't read them so I don't know if they support or deny it.....but they've reported on it. But....maybe MK doesn't watch Fox News.......ROFL.
You look to be correct about mRNA tech. The whole subject matter about the plandemic conspiracy is YET to be touched. The bio-weapon shot is the ONE subject matter Trump has yet to touch. This subject appears to be the one aspect of the transhumanist agenda that is fanatically guarded. I hope I am wrong but so far....?
We need to keep pushing against mRNA. He may not ever admit he was wrong, but he needs to stop allowing it.
The bio-weapon shot is the ONE subject matter Trump has yet to ADMIT to doing, you mean. And he's wrong on Ukraine too.
I truly believe people like Megyn don't know about this stuff because until very recently it was seen as "tin-foil hat" conspiracy. Kelly is much more open to listening to alternative views in the post-Covid world. Until reading comments here on C&C I had never heard of geoengineering or cloud seeding. It simply never came up in any discussions. As we say over and over, Covid opened eyes is so many ways.
And just for grins, here's a podcast interview, 1 day ago, of Karen Kingston talking about Stargate and AI and mRNA. I've only watched the first 20 minutes, but it sounds like she's not a fan.
https://rumble.com/v6cchdg-stargate-and-ai-mrna-dystopian-hell-karen-kingston.html
I only saw this article from Vigilant News: c
"Shanahan pointed out that many engineers and pharmacological researchers working on the development of the mRNA tech are overlooking a fundamental truth about human biology: it can’t be programmed the way a computer system can.
“They think that you can program the human body as you program an AI system, as you program a computer system. And the trouble with that mentality is that nature…there’s an element to it that when you interject something like the mRNA vaccine, there’s a huge amount of stochastic randomness that can occur,” she noted.
“AI is a computer system. Human health is not,” she added.
Shanahan also criticized the fact that mRNA vaccine tech was at the forefront of Trump’s Stargate announcement given AI could be deployed in many other ways that directly benefit the U.S. economy.
“There’s so many that could have been shared in yesterday’s conference that are really excellent uses of AI,” she said. “I heard a few that were kind of out there and if deployed too quickly could lead to an extinction event. So I think we need to be careful.”
Good point. The whole medical paradigm is bankrupt because they view the human body as a machine that can be manipulated rather than an ecology where everything is related.
100%
She also interviewed Sasha Stone right after Nicole and I was thrilled to see that. Sasha is one of my favorite Substacks of all time (tied with C&C and lovely Jenna’s Side). It was great to see a Substack author get exposure like that and she shared a bit of her history from being a hardline leftie to supporting Trump, and why. Of course nothing shares her story better than her own Substacks.
I love Sasha Stone too! Another one of my best finds on substack.
MK also interviewed Sasha Stone in the same show. A link to the show is in Sasha's post here: https://open.substack.com/pub/sashastone/p/megyn-kelly-interviews-me?
MK has been slow to see a lot of things.
That may be true, but her influence is clearly growing and she is offering spoonfuls of previously forbidden knowledge to alot of normies. I don't think we should scoff at it.
I think her show is good and like that she’s evolving. She’s so smart, and getting more bold. I listen to her podcast daily.
I told my friend about cloud seeding last summer and they found it unbelievable. Literally, the next week, Good Morning America reported on it. I can't wait to tell them about targeted individuals and DEWs. Cloud seeding is childs play in comparison.
One need only look at a color coded map of the voting districts where the vast majority of these so-called civil servants live: blue, blue, blue! Non-partisan is one of those terms that has gone the way of the dodo bird. Zero credibility, just like the words 'expert', 'safe and effective' and 'public health'.
🎯🎯🎯
This is why I have always suggested that these agencies be scattered around the country into small cities and away from the big blue liberal cities. You will get better employees in the smaller cities and the quality of life is better.
Well they moved a couple of USDA offices to Kansas City MO toward the end of Trump's term, although I read that about 40% of the employees refused to move and quit. KC is already a blue island in a red state and not that excited about even more liberals moving here. It's a great idea in theory - real estate prices here are a fraction of DC's so it saves the taxpayers money. But move hundreds of liberals into some smallish town like say, Lincoln, Nebraska and you are importing a problem - Trump lost Lancaster county 47 to 51% - one of only 2 counties that went blue in Nebraska. due to the university and state gov located there. Point is, despite being red lots of Midwest counties are teetering due to liberals fleeing the mess they have made of bigger cities and bringing their policies to the places they move to. Conservatives in these areas tend to be complacent until they wake up and find a drag queen show at their local library, a big tax increase for social programs, or a solar farm being built in their back yards. By then, it's an uphill battle to displace them in local governments.
Warning: local matters, and complacency is dangerous!
You make good points and I am sympathetic with you. I worked in D.C. and the high concentration of Democrats in U.S. government service is damaging and disheartening. Although we had a dozen active field offices around the country, necessarily near large airports, what I was thinking of were the several smaller offices that we had in places like Pittsburg KS, Jeffersonville IN, and Hagerstown MD. Ever heard of them? Yeah, me neither. No hints of a single problem from any of them either.
By the way, I lived in a Kansas City suburb for a couple of years shortly after entering the job market, and my wife has midwestern roots (Illinois and Iowa). I'm encouraged that about 40% of those transferring employees quit. That's what these agencies need: new ideas and energy.
Living in D.C. and the suburbs if stifling, and talk about the leftist ideology turning the vote in an area, Virginia would be a red State if half of the democrats who work in and around the D.C. area but live in the Virginia Counties next to D.C. were not there.
IRS has a big office in KC as well, and I have a staunch Conservative friend who works there. Sole support for herself and disabled son and too close to retirement to quit but said this week at work has been h*ll. Liked a lot of her co-workers and they didn't talk politics at work and turns out nearly all of them have severe TDS and she now dreads going into work each day. They have been 'in person', not working from home for some time now. We also have a big 'federal building' in downtown KC, no idea what they do there and there are also a GSA regional building here. So I guess no wonder KC is so blue, lol. I too am in the suburbs of KC, was a nice red enclave for decades that is turning more purple all the time due to KC refugees fleeing the high crime, high taxes and bad schools. Sigh. We are organized and fighting but too many people didn't pay attention til Covid came along.
And yeah, know Pittsburg KS well - my son graduated from Pittsburg State, it's actually a pretty conservative university, at least in the College of Technology and very reasonable in cost - they give in state tuition to students from any MO counties that border the state of KS + a lot of scholarships. Said his only woke professor was in a technical writing class.

Yeah. We ain't outa the woods by a long chalk. "Golden Age" my ass! Trump's actions are certainly better than another stick in the eye. But he's still WRONG on some of the big problems. The Big Storm is still coming.
Yes.
I am so sick of the federal (and state, but taking on federal would be a good start!) bureaucracy!!!! It’s so slow, inefficient, cumbersome, expensive and often works against the citizens of this country instead of for them. I really want to see it dismantled!! And yes I just had a very frustrating and negative experience with it this very morning!! Positive changes can’t come soon enough!!!
We have been CONDITIONED over decades to believe the federal govt cannot move quickly. So we wait and wait and wait, term after term and see no movement on issues of national importance.
And then in walks Trump! His very pace shows us it is all LIES! LIARS!!! Liars!! If the govt can never get anything done then WHY CAN TRUMP GET IT DONE SO FAST?! Because he cares…..they didn’t and don’t. It only has moved fast when it’s something THEY wanted. Ukraine got money quickly and regularly!!! Why?!!! Because that’s what the power wanted. Screw the citizens and what they want.
Bingo!!!
Yep, gov't can move as fast as it wants when it wants to, look at what the goobermint managed to do during Covid.
What?
Where else can you get the experience of waiting in line for 3 hours to be greeted by a bureaucrat who's sense of equity is treating everyone with equal contempt as a sign of their own fair mindedness?!!
I know, it’s such a privilege isn’t it 😑
RL, this is long, but it's a perfect example of what you're saying and it shows how dangerously defiant and vicious a blue state government can be.
It's so brazen it almost defies belief.
We need help here. Please pray for washington.
"Urgent - Parental Rights Law is Under Attack in Olympia
EDUCATE
Half a million Washington State citizens signed the parents' rights initiative 2081 which became law - and now it's about to be gutted by "changes" proposed by Olympia
Proposed House Bill 1296 - is NOT promoting a safe and supportive public education system
Instead, the proposed rewrite of the Parental Rights Law eliminates a parents’ ability:
To see their child’s Medical or health records, or records of any mental health counseling
To receive notification when any medical service or medications are given to their child or if their health insurance is impacted
To receive notice if their child is involved in a crime
To receive notice and be able to opt their child out of instruction on topics associated with comprehensive sexual education that may be taught in settings other than health class
The proposed so-called corrections add "protections" for:
A teacher or administrator to keep a secret file on your child
Students to use the bathroom, locker room, and shower based on their self-selected "gender"
Students to participate in sports that align with their "gender identity"
ORGANIZE
Right now there are only 1122 people opposing this bill - that is not enough!
We must continue to advance a wide-spread collective response to promote preserving the Parental Rights Law - as written.
ACTIVATE
Now is the time to contact your two State Representatives and your State Senator and ask each of them to...
"Please support the Parental Rights Law - as written"

Praying for all parents there who oppose the changes! Might as well just give your kids up to state run homes at birth if they can do stuff like this 😕
Thank you.
It's also a major disfranchisement of all washington voters who helped pass this legislation.
They're spitting in our faces, after we've already defeated them through the legal process.
These are some seriously evil people.
Agree 😕
Seattle and Olympia seem to be quickly becoming the new Portland.
I was thinking while reading Jeff's info about the delays that I, too, am SICK of this nonsense. I know part of it is checks and balances and whatnot but paralyzing government from being able to perform basic functions and duties is ridiculous in the 21st century.
Why doesn't this apply to ALL Federal workers?
"The new category, Schedule F, would apply only to federal employees in “confidential, policy-determining, policy-making, or policy-advocating” positions. Agencies must identify those politically-sensitive positions —positions, not employees— and reclassify those positions as Schedule F."
My question exactly. Why do ANY get treated differently than the citizens do??
Right?? No one who is supposed to be *working for the citizens of this country* should have any additional privileges compared to citizens (except for special cases like secret service protection for a limited number of people for example). But Congress not having to participate in Obamacare and some workers not being subject to mandates or at will employment when everyone else is, that’s wrong.
Have to start someplace. Next step is to do away with federal employment unions and change everything to merit based.
Why will anyone already at the top rung of the un-fireable regular schedule accept a promotion to a Schedule F position and thereafter be at risk of firing, just to earn a few more dollars?
Exactly. Why go from ‘tenured’ to ‘at will’ for a few more bucks? They may have to actually work… reminds me of lazy teachers who play videos during class so they can sleep in the back of the classroom.
Right, but what sometimes happens in government work is people are high-pressured to do something unethical, unsafe, or even illegal. With civil service protections they can say no and they're not likely to be fired. Their situation will be more precarious under Schedule F.
I love that Mrs. Vindman is upset her husband didn’t receive a pardon. I guess she didn’t realize that “useful idiots” like her husband are always the first to be lined up when they outlive their usefulness.
She should be worried. Fatty can be recalled to active duty and face charges under the UCMJ.
The first executed for treason. May Americans get used to the idea.
Oh, how rich that would be ... Take that, you Ukrainian mole!! ⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡
I want him sent to Ukraine!
Thank her for bringing him back to our attention 😂 oh yeah, Byedone forgot him … we won’t.
Biden (well the posse behind him) didn’t forget him. It was purposeful. They strategically prepared for who would and wouldn’t get one and when. “They” were (as Biden…) quoted as saying about Jack Smith “he screwed up for us, and doesn’t deserve it” or something to that effect. They are punishing their own. Fear is their motivator.
100% !!
Should’ve studied their communist history
Jeff, respectfully; pros and cons (not pro's and con's). Same for plural NGOs (not NGO's) and dates (1960s not 1960's). Saying it here because apostrophe misuse is epidemic and drives us grammar police crazy.
Mom, is that you???? 🤠
And I love my Mom for her kind and gentle and right corrections. ❤️🤣
Especially the ones delivered with a knuckle rap!
Exactly! As a child I hated it but as an old geezer I treasure it.
Tell that to my children. Please.
🤣 ... yeah!
yes not slang yeah
Best response for the grammar police! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
🎯 🤣
🤣🤣
lolololol
Hey, didn't we already have an Apostrophe-gate a little while ago? With FJB's staff trying to do a little damage-control on his comment about Trump's supporters and garbage?
Apostrophe abuse: its a serious problem. Weve got to avoid that trap. 😉
Is there a shortage of apostrophes? If so the price will go through the roof! 💰
Nope, no shortage's of apostrophe's here in the Golden Age's:)
Joanie Higgs, you are right about the ‘s. The crazy spell checks on our technology computers and phones change it every time! I have to go back and fix and the there comes a red line! I spelled it wrong and I know I didn’t! Someone needs to get up to speed and fix! That will give them something to do besides work on mRNA jabs. Dr. Makis has a protocol. It does work.
Ugh I know, it’s so annoying when something is supposedly “corrected” to make it incorrect! 🙄😡
And we are supposed to believe they can develop individual cancer cures, when autocorrect does not work properly and the dictionary it uses is sadly incomplete.
THREADWINNER!!!
Joanie, thanks for pointing this out. I'm sure Jeff wants to use them correctly. I have recently written "J6'ers", and was not sure if that was right. Probably not. The one that irks me is its versus it's. Some people always get them backwards.
Thanks, Dave and yes, J6ers without the mark, although it's probably not a real 'word' and looks weird. J6-ers, perhaps? ha ha.
I know what you mean about its and it's... a bit of a mind bender because it is inherently possessive, so should have one, but since it needs to be distinguished from the contraction (it is, it's) maybe that's why we don't use it there...
My simple way to decide - if I write it's it must also make sense to say it is, otherwise it's its, lol
🎯 perfect problem-solver
I use this technique Geezermann. I learned it in the public schools back in the 70's. Back then we had more time for grammar because we weren't being taught about gender ideology theory and other perverted creepy nonsense.
Goes with his, and to some extent hers, theirs, ours which also don’t take apostrophes.
That's brilliant. Best memory trick ever for the apostrophe conundrum!
Right you are!
Hadn't thought of that...
hmmm. OK, so would J6's or J6'rs be legal? apostrophe indicates missing letters, right, so. . . ??
JSixers. There, FIFY.
Ok, since we're at it and things have me more hopeful than I've been in decades, would it be possible for Mr. Trump to issue an EO punishing people who write "loose" when they meant "lose?"
Dear Lord in Heaven, let it be so!!!
Recently the most misspelled word has been lead when it should be led. Otherwise excellent writers are oblivious, and I can’t understand the carelessness. 😵💫
Joanie 👍 I noticed that my spellcheck ALWAYS autocorrupts ALL of those to have an apostrophe every single time! And I can’t figure out why. I spend more time (finger typing) correcting their errors and making new ones becoming frantic because I just want to post and move on. 🤣 Autocorrupt helps me about as much as it hurts me so it’s no better turning it off but this one drives me nuts.
And let’s discuss how the “u” “i” and “o” button placement next to each other destroys communications when not using a keyboard. Qwerty is engrained in my mind but it was made for manual typing, not digital keyboards. The sheer number of words that change meaning when just one of those letters is replaced with the other is unreal.
So true... and your word "autocorrupt" is brilliant!
🤣 took my phone a while to accept it as a correct spelling to autocorrect. Lmao
I give Jeff the benefit of the doubt, since he has limited time to write and doesn’t always have time to thoroughly proofread, but yes, that drives me bonkers as well 😩
I know. I'm an insect criticizing an elephant, but I know Jeff has the grace to take it as the constructive tip it's meant to be.
That he graciously liked your comment says it all.
The boy's a southern gentleman and a fine legal mind. If anyone knows the value and potentially crucial potentials of clear and correct writing, it's Jeff.
Meanwhile, to add my 2 cents to an already long thread, there's also the insidious and growing menace of using I instead of me. It's a menace, I tell you! lol 'The rainstorm ruined John and I's hike.'
Like me, everyone from the south knows the correct form is 'I's goin' on a hike!'
Just now seeing this. Yes about Jeff!
“John and I’s hike” is hilarious, as is your southern form… love it!
LOL!
So is semicolon misuse.
Of this: I wholeheartedly agree.
🤣 jk I realize that’s improper use don’t shame me. Lol
Yes. Yes. Yes. A THOUSAND TIMES YES!!!!!
Sister Mary (fill in the blank) with the pointer on your knuckles 🤣🤣🤣
I have to wonder.....Is it an effect of predictive text?
Not grammar police, just caring grammarians wishing to slow the downhill slide.
Thank you.
-“By banning their external communications, the Trump Administration is sending a clear, humiliating internal message: We’re in charge now. For the agencies’ arrogant whitecoats accustomed to wielding massive “expert” influence with virtually no oversight or accountability, it’s like being sent back to kindergarten. A strict kindergarten. Remedial kindergarten.
No talking without raising your hand!”
This made me grin, they must be soooo angry and frustrated!! They can get a little taste of their own medicine (no pun intended 😆) for once!! They tried to silence us with “misinformation” and “disinformation” labels as well as social media censorship but now *they’re* the ones being shut up 😆😁
That made me laugh out loud but I have a strange sense of humor... so....
