Trump’s “Disclosure Day” order rocks the world; Hegseth axes military double standards; Times dodges Trump’s third-term bait; tariff frenzy builds before Liberation Day; and much more.
🤣 I was prepared for an April Fools, but the idea of a Department of Men in Black, along with that awesome logo, was so delightful that I’m a little depressed it’s not true.
I agree, I was sooooo excited and thought what a col logo and name, so Trumpian. In the year 2025, I can believe this could happen, sometimes I think Elon could be a friendly ET 😎
Jeff's April Fool was excellent! I hope it doesn't suck too much of the air out of the other two sections of today's daily dose of truth.
The piece on eliminating two physical standards in DOD is more important than most people realize - if you are at all concerned with DOD's ability to defend the country. Most of you know I served 34 years in Army. The two physical standards has ALWAYS been a tremendous issue for people whose concern is whether we have a combat force, which can be deployed and dominant in any condition, anywhere in the world and against forces which might be all male. So, first to the ladies who will read this, I think you have a much higher calling than to be fooled into believing serving in the military gives you equality. It does not. But it does degrade you, and the force's ability to close with and kill the enemy. The idea that lower standards gives women equality is bullshit, it simply makes them easier to kill or be captured, brutalized, raped by enemy forces. I am also certain the hidden agenda of those pushing women in to this space was to weaken the DOD and reduce men from doing what they MUST for their women. It's just a fact, I saw it in units I led which had men and women in them. The women slowed the unit down in all phases of physical readiness. Physical readiness is a key fact of combat readiness - if you have reduced fitness you have a unit less capable of bringing destruction on the bad guys. Combat is hardly a place for men, it is no place for women. If Sec Hegseth's order keeps women out of combat branches, then we will have a tougher, more ready combat force. Period. Full Stop.
On tariffs, Jeff did a magnificent job explaining the real purposes. Access to our massive market and our equal access to theirs. The other is bringing manufacturing, stolen from the US by the globalists, back to the US and in key industries vital to our country's well being and to good, high paying jobs for Americans. Yes, there will be a small adjustment period, and the cretins will, inevitably, howl and carry on, you see it in all the other chats where they are already whining about "why prices haven't come down and won't come down". Forever divisive, one must realize this is their purpose.
Don't take their nonsense, let POTUS cook!
We will all be in a much healthier country in all aspects, living in our country's golden age. Fire back at the haters whenever or wherever you read or hear their divisive lies.
Thank you for this spectacularly informed and articulate comment. I salute you for your service and for your courage to speak truth in love! I feel protected and valued by your statement, not undervalued or disrespected! I hope other women (and men) will receive this wisdom.
As a man, I will always put women on the pedestal they deserve to be on, always ready to love and protect. I am glad you saw my comments for what I intended them to be and for the experience I can share.
I can’t send a big enough ‘heart’ (like) for your spelling out, without degrading women, the need for readiness in the face of combat without the idiotic DEI standards. Those came from the pit of hell. Designed to destroy America. Thank you, now, and for your service sir.
Thank you for stating this so well. I am curious to know if any other country on Earth allows women in their combat units. I believe the Israeli army does. But what about China and Russia? As a woman, I have always considered the idea of women in combat as insane. The so-called Women's movement has done much damage to our Society. It was definitely satanic inspiration that was at it's core. We may be able to recover from the damage, but it will require much introspection and a willingness to admit our Society took the wrong path.
Thank you, Quiltlady! Sorry, for some reason my message got posted without my complete thoughts. And then I got distracted.
So here it is in full:
The idea that women should be in combat is indeed, insane!
Proof of the satanical connection in the Chinese Communist Party, they put women in combat roles - and remember - this is a country under tyrannical dictatorship of over 1.2 Billion people.
Proof that we have been lied to for decades about Russia, they do NOT put women in combat roles. Hopefully, every one is waking up and realizing that Russia (not the previous USSR) is a threat to the NWO global communists, not us.
You are right, spot on, about the introspection and willingness it will take to admit we took the wrong path. And there will be 30%, who are in the legion of evil who will continue to fight every step of the way.
Thank you for your service Dan! I agree, as a woman, I recognize I am not physically equal to a man in strength but God made our bodies for specific reasons. If one wants equality, the rules have to be the same for all.
I think the people that would disagree are essentially evil, unbelieving in the perfect roles and goals God worked out for us, in order to work in harmony, love and respect for each other. I think men are starting to realize how they have failed women... women in turn should give men the opportunity - and support - to reach the heights expected of them... and they should not fall into the trap evil has laid for both men and women.
Those who can think that the battlefield is a place for women have to be evil. To think that is somewhere a woman wants or needs to be goes against everything inside us that makes us feminine.
Absolutely 100%! As a woman, I have been arguing your points about women in combat for a long time. My husband is a Vietnam vet and he can’t imagine women having been in the combat situations he was in. It would have been a distraction from the standpoint that men are generally protective of women, and having to worry about a woman in combat in war would have been very bad for their mission. There are many positions within the military that women can do and do well, but combat is not one of them. Physical standards are physical standards, and there should be only one standard. There are men who don’t meet the standard as well. Your points about trade and tariffs are well stated and a great explanation that I’m going to borrow when I next talk to my lefty brother.
Even the women back in world war 2 were keeping the home, praying for their men, for their safe return. Helping other women. Some, probably ones without kids, we’re helping to make ammo, and other supplies that were needed and being sent to our men. Much to learn from history, so to not repeat the bad.
Hmm, God recording HIS-Story, to guide us, encourage us, protect us and send proof of His Ultimate Love. His Son, also laying down His life.
Even ‘cultural’ Christianity was evident back then, as when the constitution was written. A moral compass, code. Back when sense was common. More people had it, and our country thrived.
Your points are spot on CMCM. Thank you. And to your husband, I say I honor you Brother, I know you won't accept your title of Hero, but, you having seen combat in Vietnam, I guarantee you earned it.
The thing that makes me really happy is that Trump, by the GRACE of God, is there and has picked the Cabinet we need, instead of the deep state that infiltrated via Pence, Barr, Comey, etc.
Lutnick is great! Thanks for sharing. I saw Bessent interviewed by Hannity, it was very good.
We are blessed to have leaders like Lutnick, Bessent, Patel, Hegseth, Bondi and so many more, working for Trump and therefore us and the USA.
Thanks, Dan, for articulating just some of the reasons women don’t belong in our military. This is yet another example of something that was once common sense.
I agree. No matter what, a woman’s body will never be like a man’s. A man’s body is made for stamina and strength and can do the things that need to get done and not think about it and just do it. They are made for battle and protection when needed.
A woman’s body is graceful and made to hold and nurture life. Our strength is mentally: in enduring and loving and seeing and creating beauty where we are. I know all women are not going to agree, nor are we all exactly this, but we feel it inside even if it isn’t outside. I can see where women slow down the men in battle. We just were not made for it, no matter how much we try to convince ourselves.
The standards for men, 34 push-ups in two minutes, seem low. I am a 59-year-old woman who works out, and I can do that. (I can't do a pull-up!) Am I wrong? Should the requirements be more rigorous?
In terms of standards, if you are in the field in combat, like my husband was in Vietnam, on more than one occasion he had to be able to carry a man who was fallen or injured out of danger. I don’t care what kind of shape women might be in physically, I doubt many if any could do something like that. Women have less upper body strength than men do, and that’s a physical thing.
No, you are not wrong. That's excellent you are able to do 34! Don't worry most women are incapable of pull-ups, they simply do not have the muscle strength necessary.
Each service has their own Physical Readiness requirements. I can speak for the Army - when I was in the Army. Back then, there were three events, the Pushup, the Situp, and the Two Mile Run. IN order to score the max you needed 69 pushups in 2 minutes. I would do the max back then. There was also a 2 mile run with a max of 11:30. My best time in the 2 mile run was 12:08 - which is about 6 minute miles, not fast but not slow either. There was also a sit-up requirement with essentially the same requirements of the pushup event which I also maxed (70 max if I remember correctly.) Minimum scores for a man 17 to 21 years of age was 40 push-ups and 40 sit-ups and run the two miles in 17 minutes 55 seconds to pass. A woman the same age must do 16 push-ups, 27 sit-ups and run the course in 22 minutes 14 seconds. Back then there was no such idea as DEI - it was meritocracy, period. If you maxed all three events, you scored 300, men in superb physical condition could exceed 300 - there was always 2 or 3 capable of greater than 300 - the gym rats. If you did the minimum, you scored 60 on all three events and a minimum passing score of 180. You had to score 60 pts in each event in order to pass the APRT but you would also be branded as a "pogue" or "Rear Echelon Mother F'er" or "REMF". As an officer, it was a potential "career-ender" if you didn't score at least 250. Meeting the "minimums" meant you were not "Officer material". I will caveat that by saying I served in Combat and Combat Support units, never in Combat Service Support units.
But you must understand, the physical readiness standards have been lowered by those who want DEI requirements to falsely "equalize" men and women. And they have changed the APRT many times. The current iteration is now called the "Army Combat Fitness Test". You can read about it here if you are interested as I can offer you no insights: https://www.army.mil/acft/
There are a lot of fat boys (and girls) in the Army now thanks to at least 4 years of poor leadership. Sec Hegseth needs to return real fitness standards and get them all on the fat boys/girls program, they either need to get fit or "chaptered" which is to say get removed from the Army or barred from re-enlistment. Physical and Mental Fitness is too damned important to mission success in the Army.
Dan, I was on an Air Force base today, and every time I go there, I am appalled how out of shape, and I mean way out of shape, the airman are. This is a SpecOps base and you would expect them to be in the best shape. I noticed in the Navy when we changed the working uniform to the current one, it left a lot of room to carry added weight. With the addition of changing physical standards, it has been a down hill spiral. When I was still on active duty, I took pride in maxing out my PRT, and I would challenging my troops to compete with me. I retired at 46 so if I could do it, my 25 years olds would do it too.
Yeah, I see the same on the Army post near by. That's what 4 years of no standards has created. Sec Hegseth has his work cut out for him. I'd start with taping every Soldier, Marine, Sailor and Airmen. Everyone not in standard immediately goes on the fat boys/girls program with a limited, predetermined time to get fit. If they don't meet the standard, barred to re-enlistment and remove from the military. Same goes for all the crazy hairdo's and beards. Let's be clear, you don't get to wear a beard, why? Because you cannot seal your gas mask, period, full stop. Discipline starts with uniform standards established and maintained. The two criminals, Austin and Milley and the woke sob's, did much destruction, it will not get fixed overnight but it must get fixed.
Nonsense. It's time for women to woman-up and do their fair share. For years the military has been comprised of a tiny 10 percent share of women and an embarrassingly large 90 percent men. That's enough freeloading from the distaff side to last for a few centuries.
Women have been granted all the rights and privileges of men, such as voting, working in the office, etc. while being protected from the military draft, harsh criticism, and pretty much anything that disturbs their emotions. That time needs to end, and since women have demonstrated superior ability to men in pretty much all physical and intellectual endeavors its time for us to move to an ALL FEMALE MILTARY!
May the Russians and Chinese quail in fear before the ROAR of American women!!!
Oh, you are sharp! Is that a compliment or an insult? Are you saying the Bee folks don't regularly oxygenate their brains?
The truth is that you can considerably shorten the debate over women in the military with a couple of key facts: If you look at the Presidential Fitness test full data tables (the test given in PE class to all American students for many years), you'll see that the average performance of an adult (17+ year old woman) is slightly below that of a 12 year old boy in virtually all fitness tasks (except perhaps the flexibility tests). The test has included at various times situps, pushups, pullups, shuttle run, 50 yard sprint, mile run, 600 yard run, and broad jump. Over time it has moved away from strength/explosiveness and more toward the endurance tests.
It makes as much sense to put women in the military as it does to fill the trenches with 12 year old boys.
And not just the physical aspect. The idea of killing something, and unimaginably humans, is usually incredibly abhorrent to a woman. We are life-bringers, not takers. I can’t even squash a bug without feeling sorrow for snuffing it’s life shorter than it would have been.
From NY! NY is the worst of the worst, even worse than CA in my estimate. I mean look at the current crop of demented fools, Hochul, James, Mosely, Ocasio, Nadler... the list is long at Fed, State, and City levels. Inevitably some of them are going to also grow gills and swim across the Hudson to flop into NJ and revert to being the Oxygen Thieves they already were in NY.
Oh, I must add, NY is the same group of evil scum who also murdered the innocent squirrel and his raccoon buddy while also strongly encouraging and assisting the murder of precious and innocent human baby after innocent human baby after innocent human baby. Incarnate evil.
Yes when Peanut was killed that was a low point in the history of mankind. And of course I was being somewhat facetious about where the candidates come from because I figured it was spillage from the sewers of NYC !
Me too, I was flabbergasted and so excited at the same time. UFO files should be released anyway as I am sure Area 51 has a bunch of secrets that would love to see the light of day. I have always belived in UFOs for the main reason that if humans are the best we have, we are in trouble. I hope there are beings that have their act together better than we do! That was a great April Fools joke though!
I actually thought, "That does not look like a logo the US gov't would use," and yet I continued reading, sucked into the trap. I can't believe I fell for that! LOL.
I had just woken, was still fuzzy headed and had completely forgotten it was 1 Apr. I hadn't even had my coffee before starting in on C&C. I took the bait, hook, line, and sinker. Especially with all the other great things POTUS has already done and is continuing to do!
Yeah, caught me off guard as well, mainly because I had not yet had my coffee or anything to eat (fasting labs this morning), and had been following a number of other sources on UFOs recently, and a whole lot of wishful thinking. Who knows - maybe it’ll come true tomorrow! 👽😂🤣😂
All I had on my mind was coffee, taking out the dog for her morning constitutional and my mom’s 91st birthday! That’s plenty of April Fooling for me, so I fell for it hook line and sinker!
I had completely forgotten about the date, but was saying to myself ‘this feels like a joke” and “Trump is really playing this up” and then I read Jeff’s “hahah I can keep this up” line and the date!!! Super fun!!
It had the ring of truth! I was believing it right up to Jeff’s disclosure. But then I believed the piece on NPR years ago (before I gave up on NPR) about maple trees in New England that exploded unless they were tapped for syrup. So.
Second paragraph. End of second paragraph, that is. I think I was absently reading to the end of the second paragraph while my brain was comprehending the logo of the Men In Black agency...and then the big DUH! arrived.
1st sentence. The UFO files aren't at the Pentagon.... they are in the black files of the CIA. and probably at Lockheed... in a crypto deep freeze server.
C&C, here is a fascinating (and very alarming) examination of our calendar, why it was bastardized to make no sense, and what it is hiding about today: could April Fool’s Day - a day centered around trickery & deceit - actually be the most holy day of the year? What else could be expected in satan’s kingdom?
Did you know that you're missing a month of your life every year?
By DemonEraser
We're supposed to have thirteen months of twenty eight days, exactly, plus one day that represents the renewal.
-Girls periods are every twenty eight days
-The ocean tides every twenty eight days,
-The moon cycle as every twenty eight days.
-[Pregnancy is measured in 28 day intervals]
Why do you think it's called a month? Because the original name was derived from the moon cycle which was called a “moonth” - every twenty eight days.And I'm sure you've heard of the idea that we live on back of some cosmic turtle floating in outer space and let's because turtles actually keep a calendar of this on their back. Most turtles have thirteen sections in the middle with twenty eight days around the rim:
The native Americans figured it out and used the turtle as a calendar. The bible even says in Job 12 7—10 that all creation knows that god made it.
But why has the world distorted god's perfect calendar and where did the thirteenth month go? Well what does sept mean?
-Sept, September sept is 7
-Oct, October, oct is 8
-Nov-ember? Novem? nov is 9
-December, decem, December means 10
…but I thought December was the twelfth month? Well let's think about the first month what is April mean?
-April is where we get the word Aprillis (or aperio in Latin) which means to appear or to open. Yeah April is the first month—it’s to open.
-May is actually named after a demon or god Maia (a Nephilim).
-June is named after Junius, a god as well.
-July was renamed after Julius Caesar. It was originally Quatilis which means four [this claim could not be validated —tri]
-And August was originally renamed after Augustus Caesar but it was originally Quintilis, and which means five.
And Julius Caesar was originally the one who renamed the start of the whole calendar to confuse you
-And the missing month, the thing y'all are missing til now: Sextilis - I know it's weird - but it means six.
-September is now 7
-October is now 8
-November’s 9
-December’s 10
-January is named after god Janis.
-February is named after the god Februus.
-And march is named after another god - or demon - Mars. The god of war who ends things.
And what's that famous Shakespeare quote, “Beware the Ides of March”? Oh yeah here's Shakespeare manipulating our language again: The Ides of march was originally related to a timeline meaning celebration… Celebration for the new year.
So why’d they change it? So our yearly calendar was supposed to start in April and end in March. We we're supposed to have thirteen months of twenty eight days which is:
13 x 28 = 364
Plus the one day which represents renewal to make it three hundred sixty five. That day also represents resurrection.
Now what day did Jesus die?It's actually April 3rd AD33, that a lot of historians assume. But what do you wanna bet the calendar been shifted a few days and it was probably closer to April 1st, hence the name April Fools Day—because you're a fool for believing a calendar that makes absolutely no sense and not recognizing the day that Jesus died for humanity.
That's why they call it April Fool’s Day and demons celebrate April Fool’s Day because the world has forgotten the day that your Lord died for you. All of this calendar shifting—they did it so that you cannot honor God's feast and holidays. They did it to confuse you.I mean God specifically says, “keep my days”. He says, “keep the sabbath”, that's part of his command. God wants you to honor his holidays. And more interestingly, in the Book of Jubilees, Chapter Six Verse Thirty-Seven, it states:
“For this reason the years come upon them when they will disturb (the order), and make an abominable (day) the day of testimony, and an unclean day a feast day, and they will confound all the days, the holy with the unclean and the unclean with the holy: for they will go wrong as to the months and sabbaths and feasts and jubilees.”And what day even is the sabbath?See many people think sabbath is Sunday but it's actually supposed to be Saturday because it was called sa day.They even still call it sabbath day in Russia but it was derived from sabbath day that's where the original term came from not Saturn day which was later evolved into worship of Saturn.
13 by 28 sure makes more sense. The current world calendar is confusing but I can’t see how to get out of it alive. Is it an example of conforming to “the pattern of this world”? I suppose so.
Not as of yet, Cstone. Is that the same on mentioned here:
Jubilees 6:38: For this reason I command and testify to you that you may testify to them; for after your death your children will disturb them, so that they will not make the year three hundred and sixty four days only, and for this reason they will go wrong as to the New Moons and seasons and Shabbaths and feasts, and they will eat all kinds of blood with all kinds of flesh.
I think that’s talking about the Julian and Gregorian calendars, which have certainly mislead the nations.
They come from the Qumran area, the Dead Sea Scrolls. The Zadok priests refused to follow ‘oral’ tradition, so under threat of death, they fled to Alexandria, Egypt.
They Pharisees had switched to following the calendar of the nations, which was strictly lunar. The Zadok priests refused to follow their calendar.
We have just started studying the differences in the calendars, even though we have been talking about them for around 15 years.
So much to learn and so little time.
(Off topic)
I just don’t understand why people think people are trying to become Judah-ised, when you are simply going back to the original source to understand the meaning in the context of the culture and the times in which it was written.
And they think that we just throw away the old, not realizing that when you do, you are trashing the very plan of Salvation that brought Him and that they are actually tossing HIM out with the bath water.
Even John chapter one tells us:
“In the beginning was the Word (Dvar Hashem), and the Word was WITH Hashem, and the Dvar Hashem was nothing less, by nature, than Elohim!!
In the beginning this Dvar Hashem was with Hashem.
All things through Him came to be, and without Him came to be not one thing which came into being. In Him was Chayim (Life)and the Chayim was the Ohr (Light) of the Bnei Adam. (An aside….ohr is the light that separated the light from the darkness in Genesis ch 1, vs 3 day 1)
So. If we discard the OT, can we then murder, be adulterers, theives, worship many gods, hate our neighbor?
Why is nothing simple, succint and clear? What have humans been doing all these years messing up and confusing everything. What a species. God really should have paused on the 5th day.
Never heard this word before so thank you for adding to my knowledge base! I do not believe all of it is due to this however. I believe mankind is just plain stupid most of the time.
I gotta say, it does strike me as intuitively making much more sense. It has the proper rhythmic feel. The world works in cycles and patterns - something I've come to appreciate more and more the older I get. The current calendar in use has no rhythmic sense to it.
I have been wondering why we don't use the moon cycles for our own monthly timing, because there's a lot of wisdom in following design. Hmmm, very interesting!
Too many of us women were sold on the idea that tracking natural cycles was oppressive and that we needed to manipulate them artificially to be “free”. Look at what that did for us.
Fascinating, but I’m retired and usually don’t know what day it is, much less the month. As long as the world keeps turning, giving me 365ish days of 24 hours, I’m good—no matter what the months are called. This is the day the Lord has made. I will rejoice and be glad in it!!!
Carlos - Did you see the new crescent moon Sunday evening? The sighting of it confirmed the first day of the month, Abib, in this case the first day of the new year, after an intercalary 13th month this year.
“He shall speak words against the Most High, and shall wear out the saints of the Most High, and shall think to change the times and the law; and they shall be given into his hand for a time, times, and half a time.” Daniel 7:25. I don’t know about you, but reading about ancient calendars sure wears me out! 😅
That's so interesting!! I wonder if you have ever looked into the Zodiac (which Christians are taught to trip over themselves fleeing from)? I'm reading a book right now called The Witness of the Stars by E.W. Bullinger that posits the constellations actually point to Jesus Christ and are the means by which God told ancient humanity of His great Plan. I also have a book called The Astronomy of the Bible by E. Walter Maunder (early 20c) who was a few years after Bullinger (late 19 c) that I haven't read yet, but which looks also very interesting.
If you're interested, astral theology is a thing and Dr. Michael Heiser has a very interesting short video on Youtube about Jesus birth and Revelation 12. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1X9zIFeGMH0. I really enjoy his podcast, Naked Bible. He brings in fascinating scholars and has a way of explaining difficult texts so average people understand. He is a Hebrew/Semitics and Ancient Near East Scholar.
Makes perfect sense. Leave it to man energized by the spirit of anti-Christ to think they know a better way. As long as it deceives the masses. Sounds oddly familiar and more all the time.
Thank you for all of the info. I stumbled on the turtle calendar last year and it resonated with me immediately. I did some research (not nearly as much as you) and found that April should be the beginning of the year... which makes sense as it coincides with spring and rebirth/renewal.
Did you know there was a proposal to bring back a 13 month calendar by some American business men? It was in the 1920s or 1930s if I remember correctly.
The month of Nisan begins on the New Moon nearest to the Spring Equinox (the day when there is approximately 12 hours of sunlight and 12 hours of darkness). 14 days later would be the night Jesus was killed and 3 days after that the morning he was resurrected.
This year (2018) the Spring Equinox fell on March 20th, so the nearest New Moon was March 17th. That is the start of Nisan. So 14 days later was Saturday March 31st. This corresponds to the night Jesus was killed. 3 days later, Tuesday April 3rd would correspond to the morning he was resurrected.
The dates change from year to year and the date Jesus was resurrected almost never actually coincides with Easter Sunday. But the formula for calculating these dates always remains the same. So each year it is possible to know far in advance."
It's important to note that Jesus Christ fulfilled the law. One who is in Christ, who abides in Him is fulfilling all the ceremonial aspects. Paraphrasing Paul, one man esteems one day, another esteems them all equally; one should be convinced in his own heart. Those who would Judaicise the Church are making a mistake, but there is nothing wrong with acknowledging the various feast days, in that this may give clues as to when unfulfilled prophecy will take place.
I'm not under the law, I'm under Christ. When tempted, I repent (turn) to Him, and by His Spirit, I am able to obey. It's not my works. It's Christ in me.
In the same way, if I am in Christ, the Passover is fulfilled every day. The same with every other sacrifice. Every day that I abide in faith in Him, and rest in Him, the sabbath is fulfilled.
Your example implies that I can fulfill something in someone else. I cannot.
Christ can fulfill these things, and did. He finished it on the cross. This is why I am not doing works of the law when I obey His commandments. It's His Spirit that's doing all the heavy lifting. My part is to turn to Him. Thus, I can only ever give Him credit; all my works are like filthy rags. If I try to obey "under my own steam," I invariably fail.
This is not something I do perfectly, it's something I have to learn. As an example: "Be anxious for nothing." I find myself being anxious far too often. When I realize it, I repent (turn) to Him and away from my doubt. It's an artifact of the times when I find that I have been paying attention to my flesh (e.g., fight or flight) and not walking in the Faith that my life is hidden in Christ.
What if the Earth is a giant clock? The term “face of the Earth” or “face of the whole Earth” is found dozens of times in the Scriptures. What part of a sphere is its face? “And God said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the FACE OF ALL THE EARTH, and every tree with seed in its fruit. You shall have them for food,” Genesis 1:29. “In your days, have you commanded the morning or assigned the dawn its place, that it might spread to the ends of the earth and shake the wicked out of it? The earth takes shape like CLAY UNDER A SEAL; its hills stand out like the folds of a garment,” Job 39:12-14. “It is he who sits above the CIRCLE OF THE EARTH, and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers; who stretches out the heavens like a curtain, and SPREADS THEM LIKE A TENT to dwell in,” Isaiah 40:22. PS: Most people spread their tents over a flat surface…
I've read a number of books on the history of the calendar and there's another explanation for what you've explained above.
Prior to Julius Caesar, the Roman calendar had 10 months, with December being the last one. In order to bring the Roman calendar in line with the Egyptian one, Julius Caesar inserted a month named after himself - July. In hobnobbing with Cleopatra, Caesar noted that the Egyptian calendar was better at tracking the phases of the moon, the flooding of the Nile delta and the planting season. Thus, he made a practical adjustment of inserting a month. He didn't rename a month called Quatilis.
When Julius Caesar died, Augustus Caesar's hubris caused him to insert het another month into the calendar - the month of August. If Julius could have a month of his own, so could Augustus was the vainglorious ruler's reasoning. Thus, the months associated with numbers (September (7), October (8), etc.) were pushed two months ahead.
As far as April Fool's Day, the Council of Trent forced the adoption of the Gregorian Calendar, which moved the start of the year from April 1 to January 1. Since news traveled slowly in 1582, people living in the countryside and other remote places weren't aware January 1 was now the start of the year. These people became the butt of jokes and were called April Fools.
It's my understanding that those months already existed, with the names of Quinctilis and Sextillis; that their name change was done, under Augustus' authority, by way of honoring his great uncle--and the Senate seems to have said, "in for a penny, in for a pound"--let's honor our current first citizen at the same time.
I am a moderately fit 60-year-old woman, yet I could easily qualify to enter the police academy in Texas because they adjust the standards for sex and age. Would a criminal run at a slower pace trying to escape from me just because I am an older woman?
Most men, especially these days, couldn't meet the qualifications either. I have not heard a lot of whining about that. Standards are called that for a reason.
One standard. That’s it. Whether it’s college admissions, military fitness, or any other standard. We need hard, objective metrics, not squishy subjective goals or quotas.
Lol. It's not just Texas. We watch several real-life cop type shows and they're filmed in several cities throughout the country. My hubby is a retired cop and he's constantly amazed at how many overweight and physically unfit cops there are.
Texas does have a standard of “command presence,” which is a maximum weight circumference in order to not appear too out of shape, and there are separate standards for men and women, but it doesn't vary by height, which seems like an oversight to me.
No, you simply are BEST QUALIFIED to apprehend the 60-ish year old female ALLEGED criminals. Social Justice Equitability Policing where cops and crooks look and act alike.
Similar to what the LA FireChick stated... You all want someone to cuff you who look like you do... we come a long way from days of old white hetero guys doin the first responder work for the more diverser communities of modern America
If I had sons, I wouldn’t want them to join a military that allowed less fit women to fight alongside. Not only would my son have to fight the battle, he would have to carry the larger load, cover the women’s weaknesses and not be confident of being removed from danger if injured.
When my son joined in 2019 he was appalled at the relaxed standard for the women. And that was under Trump. Then they got worse under biden! He went through Basic and the guys that couldn’t cut it were released. The women had a lower standard and got waivers all over the place. The guys were so mad.
And I don't think the part about the Times wanting them to die is too far-fetched. The VA is a scam and our vets do not get the proper respect and treatment they deserve. I saw this video last night on tiktok (posted by a former Marine) saying as much.
The VA is another organization that needs to be rebuilt from scratch. Their systems are terribly outdated and, of course, don't integrate with any other systems. My brother Dave, who owns a software company, once told me (years ago) that the VA paid $10,000,000 for a software project that Dave's company could have done for < $100,000.
A male criminal would definitely run slower if pursued by a female officer. He would want to be caught. He would want to be put in handcuffs. He would want to be strip searched. He would want to be...er, never mind.
Coffee & Covid will be ending very soon, as Jeff will be joining Trump's team as his chief legal strategist. It's been a great run, but bigger things are afoot.
Neil - that's a cruel April Fool's joke - we would need to clone Jeff so he could keep up our daily dose. Pretty sure, though, Jeff would be able to be Trump's chief legal strategist AND continue to serve up our daily C&C.
One thing we need to do imo is re-draw how we determine who should be included in the census. This is, at base, why the D's are in favor of the invasion of illegals The census does not only count U.S. citizens.
It counts every person living in the country on Census Day, including undocumented immigrants and green card holders, where they usually live and sleep.
This one reform will take care of the disadvantage conservatives have in winning congressional seats. I think that one move alone will level the field....and sanity can return.
This has to be addressed immediately by the administration.
We have lived in the country for 35 years and have never been contacted in any form, by the Census bureau. I have had to fill out some Ag Dept census forms so my critters have been counted.
The sad thing is, this is nothing new. I just wrapped up reading a Teddy Roosevelt biography by David McCullough. In the late 1800's, America endured the same divisiveness, corruption, and redrawing of the lines to get more votes - not to mention many other perfect parallels to politics today.
You are lucky. Apparently, the Census Bureau has other census work that they do. One is pestering average citizens to tell them how many hours citizens worked in a given week , if any sick time was taken or vacations time. For this the census worker calls Joe Citizen monthly for a year. They pry into your life and ask questions that are none of their business. I objected to this intrusion and was harassed for days: mailings, phone calls and personal visits. Finally after they substantiated their claims that this was a legitimate action, I gave in and agreed to give them the info. Then the worker tells me I can use pseudonyms for members of my household. So I can lie? I completed my year long sentence of harassment, only to have the Census Bureau call me again, looking for someone else. When I told them they had the wrong number, they started sending letters to that person to my address. It is like a pesky gnat that won't go away...
We are only required to tell them the number of people living there. When they morphed into gathering all that other nonsense, I don't know. I only provide one answer, a number. They don't need to know how many toilets I have in the house, for the love of all good things!
I'm 68, retired Navy. I've filled out exactly ONE census form in my entire life. Been at the same address 25+ yrs. Have never received one at my address.
I'm nipping at your heels, hitting 68 in September. I never had to register for the draft, the only thing Ford did that I really liked, so maybe they think our age bracket isn't worth counting.
didn't Dems push for "statistical sampling" too so all of the underhoused transients get proper advocacy and representation (overly so) by the MOST Conniving and Wickedly Opportunistic amongst us? Maybe they should count the dead, the historically displaced, AND the aborted in "their" Districts just to show their inclusiveness in viewing marginalized humanity
I am a hobby genealogist. Old censuses are illuminating. Various censuses listed in addition to where the person was born and where each parent was born, language spoken, male or female, color (white or black or mulatto) whether person could read or write, whether they went to school, occupation, whether they were citizens/naturalized, whether they were prohibited from voting, whether they were insane or an idiot or deaf, and other characteristics varying with each census since 1850. So everyone was included, but not necessarily allowed to vote. Obviously women could not vote before 1920 but they were in the census.
Genealogists looking at old censuses are why I agreed to answer the long questionnaire when a census worker showed up in 2020. Masked, of course, which was stupid because we were outside.
Anyway, the first question was how I identified, male, female, or other?
I stared at her and said "You know that question blows the whole purpose of the census, right?"
I was falling right along for it until I came to the picture of the logo. Too funny!!!!!😂😂😂😂😂. I want that hat. Or a T-shirt. If you put it in your merch, I will buy it.
Hey, Curtis, I’m not a Q person (whatever that is) & I have always wondered if Zuckerberg was a robot or a hybrid. He is very robotic in his behavior, especially when in congressional hearings. BTW, Beth, I have never claimed to be sane. My name is Abby Normal.
Masses of Americans are fleeing blue states in favor of red ones. The trend has defined the past half-decade.
California is the poster child for this, but we see examples nationwide. Minnesota is one. Andrew Isker’s roots there are nearly as deep as anyone’s. His family has lived in the same North Star State town for six generations, and he never planned to leave. Then Tim Walz happened.
Walz’s liberal policies, including his advancement of the war on Christianity, made Isker realize he had to get out. He couldn’t bear the thought of raising a family under that kind of leadership. Why would he subject his children to that?
Now free and living in Tennessee, Isker is working to create a refuge for Christians: a place where they build a new and real community based on faith and freedom. It’s worth learning about.
Isker joined today’s Tucker Carlson Show to detail this revolutionary project, why Christian nationalism isn’t what the media says, what’s so confusing about atheism, and more.
Andrew Isker tells Tucker:
“Christians need to band together to leave places where they have no protection whatsoever… If [Christianity] comes back, the kind of Christianity that sees Jesus in the Gospels and sees a man that is on a mission and is totally courageous… if that kind of Christianity makes a comeback, then that’s an America that has a future.”
Sometimes you need to regroup, though. I am not advocating for a cult - a la Waco or Branch Davidians - but more a community sharing common values more akin to the Amish. I haven't watched the Isker interview but maybe he is talking about a Benedict Option.
So we protected our children from public school so they could build their faith go out into the world and shine the Light in this wicked world, not built a tower to keep us tied in. That's all been done before and all you have to do is go to any church ANY REAL CHURCH or any Christian organization or colony of do gooders and you'll quickly find that it cAINT be Heaven because you are n't There. Very immature of him and those who believe in him. 😫
Pelayo Clans began forming during Covid when Christians realized they were under attack. Neighbors would gather to offer their skills and services to each other and to be ready when persecution hits.
It is based on the rebellion of King Pelayo against the Arabs
"In the context of today’s world, where Christian values are under constant assault from secular forces and internationalist ideologies, the story of King Pelayo serves as a powerful example of Christian resistance and resilience. Just as Pelayo and his followers refused to submit to the Moors, so too must Christians today resist the forces that seek to undermine their faith and way of life."
Colorado's MILQUETOAST Republican Party stumbles along...more moderation and bipartisanship needed to appeal to the Moronic Mushy Middle Under-thinking and Unafilliated Fool Voters whose only concern is their selfish daily issues. While the Ruling DemoCult Party simply panders to this group and plots Societal Statewide Authoritarianism with Token Bi-Partisanship (NON-PARTISAN) as the ends of their means, knowing the IDIOTS will never see or believe it is happening. Benevolent Bolshevism in Action.
I believe our Lord called it being “lukewarm” and something about being “spewed out of His mouth.” 🤢🤮
Isn’t there a saying that says, “if you don’t stand for something, you’ll fall for anything?” I feel like this is what that “mushy middle ground” is all about.
The Republicans in this nation need to pour some concrete into their spinal cords! 🔥🔥🔥
just watched this. great interview! I hope only the "normal" flee from blue states as I don't want their crap woke agenda oozing out in my red state. I thought of the movie The Village when he mentioned a refuge where real community can live in harmony.
I thought this was the April Fools. 3 pullups is a joke. I just looked it up on the Marines website and it is legit for minimum initial standards. Forget the women's standards, we need to reinstitute PE class in grade school!
The school where I work (nurse) does the Presidential Physical Fitness test & the boys (boys school) hotly compete! All have to run a mile too. (might be part of it?)
I felt like 83 today. We hiked in the desert yesterday, lots of rocks and big steps up, went down the easy way! Lol
The reward was a beautiful cold spring at the top though! (We’re in So Cal for another 5 days 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻). Beats Central Oregon in the winter, still snowing there.
I absolutely agree. Our son is in Army basic training right now as required before he can report to OCS and of the 40+ in his platoon only about 15 could meet the minimum requirements (which means achieving a score of 360 out of a possible 600) while only he and one other gentlemen scored above 540 with the others struggling to break out of the mid 400s. None of the women could meet even the minimum requirements the first time around. They will give them two more tries but since they are not giving them a lot of PT time one wonders how they will improve. PE should definitely return to schools. It could definitely improve so many problems with our youth. Even moderate exercise is so helpful. And last I checked the only thing enemies give you if you are not fit is imprisonment and or possible death. Why would we want to fill our Army with substandard warriors?
Part of our homeschool PE was running 5K’s and doing sprint triathlon stuff… That’ll get you in shape! 👍🏽😰😁 BTW, The sprint triathlon stuff looks really good on a college résumé. Fun stuff! 😁😁😁
Great idea! And so good for them! One day they will thank you. We live out in the country so I used to make my kids walk with me around the orchards everyday and then help with all the outdoor chores, I didn’t even think about making them do something that would help their college applications (it was a time when few colleges would even look at them and I lacked the foresight) I appreciate your heads up planning - way to go! Homeschooling was a fabulous time. Our youngest is now mid twenties with a masters and entering the Army. It went by all too soon!
It definitely has sped by… 😳 I have graduated five and have one more to go. It has been a tough time, but a fabulous time! Great job mama! 😁👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I definitely tip my hat to you beginning homeschoolers… Y’all took heat, so that the rest of us could have an easier time. A profound thank you is directed your way.
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽😊
Homeschooling has definitely grown… Our homeschool group had about 30 families in it when we began 25 years ago… Now we have over 100 families. I’ve also noticed the growth of many other homeschool groups in our area. I also know many families who go out solo w/o a cover. 😁😁😁
I would encourage you to use your hard earned wisdom and experience for the younger mothers, who are just beginning to contemplate homeschooling for the future of THEIR children as well… We are the veterans, we need to pay it forward by giving knowledge and especially encouragement to them. 🥰😁😁😁
When I see how other countries handle homeschooling, 😳😬😱 we are truly blessed here in the good old USA… 🇺🇸🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽💖
Congratulations to you! Sounds like such a joy filled journey!!
I have and do help as many moms as I can as I see more and more in our church making the decision. It is truly a blessed experience and so uplifting watching so many join the home educating movement. I am now even privileged to help one of our daughters and some of her friends. I am grateful to be able to do it.
And yes, we are very blessed here in the USA. I have several friends in Austria and there schooling laws were actually established by Hitler and never abolished so near impossible for them to truly homeschool. Same in Italy and who knows where else. Sadly even some US states are trying to make it harder and harder. We were fortunate, believe it or not, here In commifornia as it was so easy to do even three decades ago. I have no idea about now, but we were blessed then with no obstacles to entry. Even those of us who did it on our own as co-ops and or groups were not really established.
I appreciate your moniker. I pray God continues to bless us as a nation, especially as we appear to finally be returning to Him!
Prayers for you and your family. And thank you for helping new younger moms. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
The last time I did some push ups, several months ago, I hit 20, that was enough to experience the thrill of the rubber-arm buzz for a couple of minutes. 5 pull-ups are my limit but I'm trying to remember to get in the daily habit of just hanging without the pull-up, it's harder than you might expect but they say it's good for you. I can go about 30 seconds now but would like to get to 90 seconds, or at least 67 seconds for the number of my years.
Any young man has the capability to do 50 push ups in a row. All it takes is 2-3 weeks of training.
I was doing 100 in a row during wrestling season when I was 8. By the time i was in high-school I could do 300. Even the heavy weight guys could easily rip off 50 in a row.
Im 53 and only play tennis and I was just able to do 41 in a row in perfect form...and i haven't done a push up in 15 years.
But i may not be able to get out of bed for 3 days after doing the push ups today...;)
I agree! There’s a big difference in how hard a push-up is depending on form. I used to be able to do around 60 pushups in my workouts. Straight line, chest almost to floor, and all the way up. I would do sets of 16 slowly, in between other arm work and cardio.
A colleague of mine decided to show off a bit and did push ups, but he didn’t go all the way up and down. His range of movement was very quick and small, but he got a lot in quickly.
Also, tricep push-ups are much more difficult than standard ones.
Try carrying your weapon, ammo, flak, helmet, pack, water, rations, radio just on a patrol in 115-degree temps, then imagine an enemy that gets a vote in what happens next...
I would submit that not just anyone can do it and yes it does certainly help win battles, not just the summer and winter Olympics. The military needs to be in peak condition, period. No compromises, no exception.
Thank God for President Trump and Secy Pete Hegseth to get our fighting force back to where it was and will be again.
Marines are the only one that I would not worry about the initial standard. Drill Instructors in bootcamp will have them in the best shape of their lives by the time they leave there. I went into Aviation Officer Candidate School (AOCS) having my last cigarette that morning. I came out in the best shape ever. I have been working out my whole life between sports and the gym. My mom said that I should have paid my drill instructor!!!
Right! Those standards are a joke even for males! My granddaughter just got married to a young man who is special forces, she sent us a little video of their daily activities which included a short clip showing her husband doing 3 pull ups in 3 seconds! Granted, special forces are “Special”, but what the heck?!
As an early riser (we live in Utah), I wait to read C&C aloud to my husband, but for some inexplicable reason, I decided to "cheat" and read it as soon as it arrived in my IN box.
Now I don't know if I can keep a straight face when I read Jeff's opening salvo to my hubby!
Say what you will about Trump, the man is a walking, talking wild card. That's why I got more than a few sentences in before I realized it's April Fool's Day. But these days, you never know.
How far did everyone get before they said to themselves, "Wait! What's the date today?"
🤣 I was prepared for an April Fools, but the idea of a Department of Men in Black, along with that awesome logo, was so delightful that I’m a little depressed it’s not true.
I agree, I was sooooo excited and thought what a col logo and name, so Trumpian. In the year 2025, I can believe this could happen, sometimes I think Elon could be a friendly ET 😎
Im convinced of it.
Jeff's April Fool was excellent! I hope it doesn't suck too much of the air out of the other two sections of today's daily dose of truth.
The piece on eliminating two physical standards in DOD is more important than most people realize - if you are at all concerned with DOD's ability to defend the country. Most of you know I served 34 years in Army. The two physical standards has ALWAYS been a tremendous issue for people whose concern is whether we have a combat force, which can be deployed and dominant in any condition, anywhere in the world and against forces which might be all male. So, first to the ladies who will read this, I think you have a much higher calling than to be fooled into believing serving in the military gives you equality. It does not. But it does degrade you, and the force's ability to close with and kill the enemy. The idea that lower standards gives women equality is bullshit, it simply makes them easier to kill or be captured, brutalized, raped by enemy forces. I am also certain the hidden agenda of those pushing women in to this space was to weaken the DOD and reduce men from doing what they MUST for their women. It's just a fact, I saw it in units I led which had men and women in them. The women slowed the unit down in all phases of physical readiness. Physical readiness is a key fact of combat readiness - if you have reduced fitness you have a unit less capable of bringing destruction on the bad guys. Combat is hardly a place for men, it is no place for women. If Sec Hegseth's order keeps women out of combat branches, then we will have a tougher, more ready combat force. Period. Full Stop.
On tariffs, Jeff did a magnificent job explaining the real purposes. Access to our massive market and our equal access to theirs. The other is bringing manufacturing, stolen from the US by the globalists, back to the US and in key industries vital to our country's well being and to good, high paying jobs for Americans. Yes, there will be a small adjustment period, and the cretins will, inevitably, howl and carry on, you see it in all the other chats where they are already whining about "why prices haven't come down and won't come down". Forever divisive, one must realize this is their purpose.
Don't take their nonsense, let POTUS cook!
We will all be in a much healthier country in all aspects, living in our country's golden age. Fire back at the haters whenever or wherever you read or hear their divisive lies.
Thank you for this spectacularly informed and articulate comment. I salute you for your service and for your courage to speak truth in love! I feel protected and valued by your statement, not undervalued or disrespected! I hope other women (and men) will receive this wisdom.
As a man, I will always put women on the pedestal they deserve to be on, always ready to love and protect. I am glad you saw my comments for what I intended them to be and for the experience I can share.
Thank you Allison.
I can’t send a big enough ‘heart’ (like) for your spelling out, without degrading women, the need for readiness in the face of combat without the idiotic DEI standards. Those came from the pit of hell. Designed to destroy America. Thank you, now, and for your service sir.
Thank you Debi, for getting it!
Thank you for stating this so well. I am curious to know if any other country on Earth allows women in their combat units. I believe the Israeli army does. But what about China and Russia? As a woman, I have always considered the idea of women in combat as insane. The so-called Women's movement has done much damage to our Society. It was definitely satanic inspiration that was at it's core. We may be able to recover from the damage, but it will require much introspection and a willingness to admit our Society took the wrong path.
Thank you, Quiltlady! Sorry, for some reason my message got posted without my complete thoughts. And then I got distracted.
So here it is in full:
The idea that women should be in combat is indeed, insane!
Proof of the satanical connection in the Chinese Communist Party, they put women in combat roles - and remember - this is a country under tyrannical dictatorship of over 1.2 Billion people.
Proof that we have been lied to for decades about Russia, they do NOT put women in combat roles. Hopefully, every one is waking up and realizing that Russia (not the previous USSR) is a threat to the NWO global communists, not us.
You are right, spot on, about the introspection and willingness it will take to admit we took the wrong path. And there will be 30%, who are in the legion of evil who will continue to fight every step of the way.
Amazing comments, Dan. All of them! Thank you for enlightening us.
Thank you for your service Dan! I agree, as a woman, I recognize I am not physically equal to a man in strength but God made our bodies for specific reasons. If one wants equality, the rules have to be the same for all.
Thank you Karmy.
I think the people that would disagree are essentially evil, unbelieving in the perfect roles and goals God worked out for us, in order to work in harmony, love and respect for each other. I think men are starting to realize how they have failed women... women in turn should give men the opportunity - and support - to reach the heights expected of them... and they should not fall into the trap evil has laid for both men and women.
Absolutely agree with this sentiment and the lengthier one you posted above. Lots of wisdom and true masculinity on display - God bless you.
I bless you Julie, for understanding the awesome role women, in their beautiful femininity, bring to the long term health and well-being of humanity.
Those who can think that the battlefield is a place for women have to be evil. To think that is somewhere a woman wants or needs to be goes against everything inside us that makes us feminine.
Absolutely 100%! As a woman, I have been arguing your points about women in combat for a long time. My husband is a Vietnam vet and he can’t imagine women having been in the combat situations he was in. It would have been a distraction from the standpoint that men are generally protective of women, and having to worry about a woman in combat in war would have been very bad for their mission. There are many positions within the military that women can do and do well, but combat is not one of them. Physical standards are physical standards, and there should be only one standard. There are men who don’t meet the standard as well. Your points about trade and tariffs are well stated and a great explanation that I’m going to borrow when I next talk to my lefty brother.
Even the women back in world war 2 were keeping the home, praying for their men, for their safe return. Helping other women. Some, probably ones without kids, we’re helping to make ammo, and other supplies that were needed and being sent to our men. Much to learn from history, so to not repeat the bad.
Hmm, God recording HIS-Story, to guide us, encourage us, protect us and send proof of His Ultimate Love. His Son, also laying down His life.
Even ‘cultural’ Christianity was evident back then, as when the constitution was written. A moral compass, code. Back when sense was common. More people had it, and our country thrived.
And knitting! Don’t forget all the knitting that went on for the troops! 🧶
Yes they did!! And we’re soo good at it. My mother could darn a hole in a sock and you barely could see it, and didn’t feel it. Lost talent.
Excellent, Thank you Debi.
Your points are spot on CMCM. Thank you. And to your husband, I say I honor you Brother, I know you won't accept your title of Hero, but, you having seen combat in Vietnam, I guarantee you earned it.
Dan (LS&D), Thank you for that explanation! I completely agree!
Dan: Excellent post from start to finish. Women in combat never made sense to me. It seemed to be a set up for failure.
I stumbled on an All In in DC interview of Howard Lutnick. He explains the tarriffs, among many other aspects of Trump’s admin. Very entertaining!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=182ckTL2KBAM
There is another All In interview with Scott Bessent. His info is more ‘economically technical’ but still a good interview.
Thank you MaryAnn.
The thing that makes me really happy is that Trump, by the GRACE of God, is there and has picked the Cabinet we need, instead of the deep state that infiltrated via Pence, Barr, Comey, etc.
Lutnick is great! Thanks for sharing. I saw Bessent interviewed by Hannity, it was very good.
We are blessed to have leaders like Lutnick, Bessent, Patel, Hegseth, Bondi and so many more, working for Trump and therefore us and the USA.
Thanks, Dan, for articulating just some of the reasons women don’t belong in our military. This is yet another example of something that was once common sense.
Well stated and summarized, Dan.
Thanks for your service 🫡 and for your excellent opinion piece. You da man, Dan!
Dan, I'm with you all the way...until your last sentence. No need to hate - it is so much better to simply laugh!
Its okay Leo, I run to the sound of gunfire. Whether that sound is actual gunfire or hateful people doing destruction.
I agree. No matter what, a woman’s body will never be like a man’s. A man’s body is made for stamina and strength and can do the things that need to get done and not think about it and just do it. They are made for battle and protection when needed.
A woman’s body is graceful and made to hold and nurture life. Our strength is mentally: in enduring and loving and seeing and creating beauty where we are. I know all women are not going to agree, nor are we all exactly this, but we feel it inside even if it isn’t outside. I can see where women slow down the men in battle. We just were not made for it, no matter how much we try to convince ourselves.
100%. I could not say it better. Thank you.
The standards for men, 34 push-ups in two minutes, seem low. I am a 59-year-old woman who works out, and I can do that. (I can't do a pull-up!) Am I wrong? Should the requirements be more rigorous?
In terms of standards, if you are in the field in combat, like my husband was in Vietnam, on more than one occasion he had to be able to carry a man who was fallen or injured out of danger. I don’t care what kind of shape women might be in physically, I doubt many if any could do something like that. Women have less upper body strength than men do, and that’s a physical thing.
Hi K,
No, you are not wrong. That's excellent you are able to do 34! Don't worry most women are incapable of pull-ups, they simply do not have the muscle strength necessary.
Each service has their own Physical Readiness requirements. I can speak for the Army - when I was in the Army. Back then, there were three events, the Pushup, the Situp, and the Two Mile Run. IN order to score the max you needed 69 pushups in 2 minutes. I would do the max back then. There was also a 2 mile run with a max of 11:30. My best time in the 2 mile run was 12:08 - which is about 6 minute miles, not fast but not slow either. There was also a sit-up requirement with essentially the same requirements of the pushup event which I also maxed (70 max if I remember correctly.) Minimum scores for a man 17 to 21 years of age was 40 push-ups and 40 sit-ups and run the two miles in 17 minutes 55 seconds to pass. A woman the same age must do 16 push-ups, 27 sit-ups and run the course in 22 minutes 14 seconds. Back then there was no such idea as DEI - it was meritocracy, period. If you maxed all three events, you scored 300, men in superb physical condition could exceed 300 - there was always 2 or 3 capable of greater than 300 - the gym rats. If you did the minimum, you scored 60 on all three events and a minimum passing score of 180. You had to score 60 pts in each event in order to pass the APRT but you would also be branded as a "pogue" or "Rear Echelon Mother F'er" or "REMF". As an officer, it was a potential "career-ender" if you didn't score at least 250. Meeting the "minimums" meant you were not "Officer material". I will caveat that by saying I served in Combat and Combat Support units, never in Combat Service Support units.
But you must understand, the physical readiness standards have been lowered by those who want DEI requirements to falsely "equalize" men and women. And they have changed the APRT many times. The current iteration is now called the "Army Combat Fitness Test". You can read about it here if you are interested as I can offer you no insights: https://www.army.mil/acft/
There are a lot of fat boys (and girls) in the Army now thanks to at least 4 years of poor leadership. Sec Hegseth needs to return real fitness standards and get them all on the fat boys/girls program, they either need to get fit or "chaptered" which is to say get removed from the Army or barred from re-enlistment. Physical and Mental Fitness is too damned important to mission success in the Army.
I hope that helps.
Dan, I was on an Air Force base today, and every time I go there, I am appalled how out of shape, and I mean way out of shape, the airman are. This is a SpecOps base and you would expect them to be in the best shape. I noticed in the Navy when we changed the working uniform to the current one, it left a lot of room to carry added weight. With the addition of changing physical standards, it has been a down hill spiral. When I was still on active duty, I took pride in maxing out my PRT, and I would challenging my troops to compete with me. I retired at 46 so if I could do it, my 25 years olds would do it too.
Yeah, I see the same on the Army post near by. That's what 4 years of no standards has created. Sec Hegseth has his work cut out for him. I'd start with taping every Soldier, Marine, Sailor and Airmen. Everyone not in standard immediately goes on the fat boys/girls program with a limited, predetermined time to get fit. If they don't meet the standard, barred to re-enlistment and remove from the military. Same goes for all the crazy hairdo's and beards. Let's be clear, you don't get to wear a beard, why? Because you cannot seal your gas mask, period, full stop. Discipline starts with uniform standards established and maintained. The two criminals, Austin and Milley and the woke sob's, did much destruction, it will not get fixed overnight but it must get fixed.
Biological realities are real. Time folks stopped pretending.
Nonsense. It's time for women to woman-up and do their fair share. For years the military has been comprised of a tiny 10 percent share of women and an embarrassingly large 90 percent men. That's enough freeloading from the distaff side to last for a few centuries.
Women have been granted all the rights and privileges of men, such as voting, working in the office, etc. while being protected from the military draft, harsh criticism, and pretty much anything that disturbs their emotions. That time needs to end, and since women have demonstrated superior ability to men in pretty much all physical and intellectual endeavors its time for us to move to an ALL FEMALE MILTARY!
May the Russians and Chinese quail in fear before the ROAR of American women!!!
I'm going to go with the idea that your ridiculous post is Babylon Bee style sarcasm.
It has to be, as any person who is regularly oxygenating their brain could never come up with this and expect anyone to take it seriously.
Oh, you are sharp! Is that a compliment or an insult? Are you saying the Bee folks don't regularly oxygenate their brains?
The truth is that you can considerably shorten the debate over women in the military with a couple of key facts: If you look at the Presidential Fitness test full data tables (the test given in PE class to all American students for many years), you'll see that the average performance of an adult (17+ year old woman) is slightly below that of a 12 year old boy in virtually all fitness tasks (except perhaps the flexibility tests). The test has included at various times situps, pushups, pullups, shuttle run, 50 yard sprint, mile run, 600 yard run, and broad jump. Over time it has moved away from strength/explosiveness and more toward the endurance tests.
It makes as much sense to put women in the military as it does to fill the trenches with 12 year old boys.
And not just the physical aspect. The idea of killing something, and unimaginably humans, is usually incredibly abhorrent to a woman. We are life-bringers, not takers. I can’t even squash a bug without feeling sorrow for snuffing it’s life shorter than it would have been.
Agree. When I see videos of the Chinese Army marching in perfect unison I never see a woman in their ranks.
I have an April FOOL - Cory Booker.
He’s a Year-Round Fool 😉
Understatement. Remember when he pulled the fake girlfriend Rosie for election.
Where does NJ get these candidates?
From NY! NY is the worst of the worst, even worse than CA in my estimate. I mean look at the current crop of demented fools, Hochul, James, Mosely, Ocasio, Nadler... the list is long at Fed, State, and City levels. Inevitably some of them are going to also grow gills and swim across the Hudson to flop into NJ and revert to being the Oxygen Thieves they already were in NY.
Oh, I must add, NY is the same group of evil scum who also murdered the innocent squirrel and his raccoon buddy while also strongly encouraging and assisting the murder of precious and innocent human baby after innocent human baby after innocent human baby. Incarnate evil.
Yes when Peanut was killed that was a low point in the history of mankind. And of course I was being somewhat facetious about where the candidates come from because I figured it was spillage from the sewers of NYC !
DEI, BLM, NAACP and BFD.
Really...
He spoke for 7hrs on the Senate floor, for no apparent reason, aside from barking about Trump and Elon...
Most do not realize he HAD to do it, the baboon cage at the zoo was closed for cleaning!
I will say one thing positive. He did not have blue hair or septum ring.
Every time he runs he gets a new fake girlfriend!😊
Seven hours of saying absolutely nothing. Booker is really good at that!
LOL LOL LOL
Someone should refresh Mr Booker's memory... The Huma - Wiener laptop!
... and "private" basement servers.
Even the aliens are MAGA 😂
Black MAGA!!! 🤣👽
Me too, I was flabbergasted and so excited at the same time. UFO files should be released anyway as I am sure Area 51 has a bunch of secrets that would love to see the light of day. I have always belived in UFOs for the main reason that if humans are the best we have, we are in trouble. I hope there are beings that have their act together better than we do! That was a great April Fools joke though!
Same here!!
Beware of the MSM journalists, they are really Ball Chinians. 🤣
Totally wanted it to be true, yes, indeedy!
Dunno ... I kinda like the little green man with the red cap.
It was the “we have the best aliens. Tremendous aliens” quote that got me 😂 a troll if I ever heard one!
We have to enjoy President Trump to the utmost. There will never be another!
And there never was anyone like him before, either!
P.T. Barnum.
Aliens like you’ve never seen before! 🥸🙃😆
Nobody's ever seen anything like our aliens!😁
Hahaha!! 😂 Trump forever!!
It was just missing the MAGA logo.
Make Aliens Great Again? MAGA?
Perfection! 🤣👽
That logo is going to be used in Twitter very soon.
The original Men in Black was a short from 1934 starring The Three Stooges. It's 18 minutes of orchestrated chaos. It's the Trump admin on steroids?
Me too 👽
That is sweet....we will be seeing that around for a while Eh?
I was hoping not to see an April fools day joke.... That was a fun logo
Ditto. That could work. :)
I actually thought, "That does not look like a logo the US gov't would use," and yet I continued reading, sucked into the trap. I can't believe I fell for that! LOL.
These days it seems like, with Trump in office, NOTHING is unimaginable... all to say: yes, I fell for it, laughing all the way!
Me too. It's kinda scary to be so gullible. But you're right. In the days of craziness and absurdity, nothing seems too weird.
I had just woken, was still fuzzy headed and had completely forgotten it was 1 Apr. I hadn't even had my coffee before starting in on C&C. I took the bait, hook, line, and sinker. Especially with all the other great things POTUS has already done and is continuing to do!
Well done Jeff!
I took it too and was ever so bummed to learn it was a joke.
Yeah, caught me off guard as well, mainly because I had not yet had my coffee or anything to eat (fasting labs this morning), and had been following a number of other sources on UFOs recently, and a whole lot of wishful thinking. Who knows - maybe it’ll come true tomorrow! 👽😂🤣😂
Same!
All I had on my mind was coffee, taking out the dog for her morning constitutional and my mom’s 91st birthday! That’s plenty of April Fooling for me, so I fell for it hook line and sinker!
Me too!
Can I use that excuse for myself??
I had completely forgotten about the date, but was saying to myself ‘this feels like a joke” and “Trump is really playing this up” and then I read Jeff’s “hahah I can keep this up” line and the date!!! Super fun!!
I was thinking it was Trump’s April Fool’s Day joke not Jeff’s lol 😆
Same! It was well played.
Me, too!
Jeff — you totally had me!!!! Was even checking my calendar for what I’m doing Thursday night 🤣🤣
I can’t think of another time I was so fooled (and I even did a quick check of the news sites before I got on this)!
Well done!
It had the ring of truth! I was believing it right up to Jeff’s disclosure. But then I believed the piece on NPR years ago (before I gave up on NPR) about maple trees in New England that exploded unless they were tapped for syrup. So.
Lol exploding maple trees 😂😆
Confession is good for the soul😂
I’m telling you, the exploding maple tree piece was one convincing story when first listened to cold, and forgetting it was April 1.
https://www.npr.org/2005/04/01/4571982/april-fools-new-england-suffers-maple-woes
holy crapp. I'm dyin'
so, this is official:
https://youtu.be/iiW6UyyAPdk
I put the pic on my FB. 😂🛸
ME TOO! and the whole article practically! my poor friends.
Pretty much most of the way. Wasn’t thinking what day it was.
When he didn’t say, It’s Tues., April 1. He never skips the date. My
cadence was thrown off— so I back tracked, and BOOM!
Great catch!
Second paragraph. End of second paragraph, that is. I think I was absently reading to the end of the second paragraph while my brain was comprehending the logo of the Men In Black agency...and then the big DUH! arrived.
1st sentence. The UFO files aren't at the Pentagon.... they are in the black files of the CIA. and probably at Lockheed... in a crypto deep freeze server.
Nah they’re probably in Biden’s garage at Area 51 where his green body was revived many moons ago.
Nice!
I fell, hook, line and sinker! 😂😂
I got to the “We have tremendous aliens” quote and started laughing out loud, imagining liberal heads exploding. I so wish that quote was true!
me too!
A little TOO far, much to my own embarrassment - lol.
I got as far as the MIB division. 😂
All the way to the end! That was a great illustration of Poe's law
This far.
Here is another kind of political disclosure:
C&C, here is a fascinating (and very alarming) examination of our calendar, why it was bastardized to make no sense, and what it is hiding about today: could April Fool’s Day - a day centered around trickery & deceit - actually be the most holy day of the year? What else could be expected in satan’s kingdom?
Did you know that you're missing a month of your life every year?
By DemonEraser
We're supposed to have thirteen months of twenty eight days, exactly, plus one day that represents the renewal.
-Girls periods are every twenty eight days
-The ocean tides every twenty eight days,
-The moon cycle as every twenty eight days.
-[Pregnancy is measured in 28 day intervals]
Why do you think it's called a month? Because the original name was derived from the moon cycle which was called a “moonth” - every twenty eight days.And I'm sure you've heard of the idea that we live on back of some cosmic turtle floating in outer space and let's because turtles actually keep a calendar of this on their back. Most turtles have thirteen sections in the middle with twenty eight days around the rim:
https://tritorch.com/degradation/TeslaResonanceTransition/Calendar13MonthsOnTurtlesBack.png [image]
The native Americans figured it out and used the turtle as a calendar. The bible even says in Job 12 7—10 that all creation knows that god made it.
But why has the world distorted god's perfect calendar and where did the thirteenth month go? Well what does sept mean?
-Sept, September sept is 7
-Oct, October, oct is 8
-Nov-ember? Novem? nov is 9
-December, decem, December means 10
…but I thought December was the twelfth month? Well let's think about the first month what is April mean?
-April is where we get the word Aprillis (or aperio in Latin) which means to appear or to open. Yeah April is the first month—it’s to open.
-May is actually named after a demon or god Maia (a Nephilim).
-June is named after Junius, a god as well.
-July was renamed after Julius Caesar. It was originally Quatilis which means four [this claim could not be validated —tri]
-And August was originally renamed after Augustus Caesar but it was originally Quintilis, and which means five.
And Julius Caesar was originally the one who renamed the start of the whole calendar to confuse you
-And the missing month, the thing y'all are missing til now: Sextilis - I know it's weird - but it means six.
-September is now 7
-October is now 8
-November’s 9
-December’s 10
-January is named after god Janis.
-February is named after the god Februus.
-And march is named after another god - or demon - Mars. The god of war who ends things.
And what's that famous Shakespeare quote, “Beware the Ides of March”? Oh yeah here's Shakespeare manipulating our language again: The Ides of march was originally related to a timeline meaning celebration… Celebration for the new year.
So why’d they change it? So our yearly calendar was supposed to start in April and end in March. We we're supposed to have thirteen months of twenty eight days which is:
13 x 28 = 364
Plus the one day which represents renewal to make it three hundred sixty five. That day also represents resurrection.
Now what day did Jesus die?It's actually April 3rd AD33, that a lot of historians assume. But what do you wanna bet the calendar been shifted a few days and it was probably closer to April 1st, hence the name April Fools Day—because you're a fool for believing a calendar that makes absolutely no sense and not recognizing the day that Jesus died for humanity.
That's why they call it April Fool’s Day and demons celebrate April Fool’s Day because the world has forgotten the day that your Lord died for you. All of this calendar shifting—they did it so that you cannot honor God's feast and holidays. They did it to confuse you.I mean God specifically says, “keep my days”. He says, “keep the sabbath”, that's part of his command. God wants you to honor his holidays. And more interestingly, in the Book of Jubilees, Chapter Six Verse Thirty-Seven, it states:
“For this reason the years come upon them when they will disturb (the order), and make an abominable (day) the day of testimony, and an unclean day a feast day, and they will confound all the days, the holy with the unclean and the unclean with the holy: for they will go wrong as to the months and sabbaths and feasts and jubilees.”And what day even is the sabbath?See many people think sabbath is Sunday but it's actually supposed to be Saturday because it was called sa day.They even still call it sabbath day in Russia but it was derived from sabbath day that's where the original term came from not Saturn day which was later evolved into worship of Saturn.
Excerpt from: https://old.bitchute.com/video/TMm0tStIdrW5 [4mins]
Thanks for writing this. Fascinating
13 by 28 sure makes more sense. The current world calendar is confusing but I can’t see how to get out of it alive. Is it an example of conforming to “the pattern of this world”? I suppose so.
Here is a draft article a collaborator and i are working on (it is still very much under construction), but it has more information:
https://tritorch.substack.com/p/c4c77fa9-dd99-4f71-bb4c-62638ffba4a9
And here is another extremely fascinating video on the wrecked calendar plus more:
The Gregorian Calendar is Designed to Put Us Out Of Sync With Nature, Here is the True 13 Month Year
https://old.bitchute.com/video/MnIJf32A1KMr [6mins]
Have you ever studied the Zadok/Essene calendar?
Not as of yet, Cstone. Is that the same on mentioned here:
Jubilees 6:38: For this reason I command and testify to you that you may testify to them; for after your death your children will disturb them, so that they will not make the year three hundred and sixty four days only, and for this reason they will go wrong as to the New Moons and seasons and Shabbaths and feasts, and they will eat all kinds of blood with all kinds of flesh.
No.
I think that’s talking about the Julian and Gregorian calendars, which have certainly mislead the nations.
They come from the Qumran area, the Dead Sea Scrolls. The Zadok priests refused to follow ‘oral’ tradition, so under threat of death, they fled to Alexandria, Egypt.
They Pharisees had switched to following the calendar of the nations, which was strictly lunar. The Zadok priests refused to follow their calendar.
We have just started studying the differences in the calendars, even though we have been talking about them for around 15 years.
So much to learn and so little time.
(Off topic)
I just don’t understand why people think people are trying to become Judah-ised, when you are simply going back to the original source to understand the meaning in the context of the culture and the times in which it was written.
And they think that we just throw away the old, not realizing that when you do, you are trashing the very plan of Salvation that brought Him and that they are actually tossing HIM out with the bath water.
Even John chapter one tells us:
“In the beginning was the Word (Dvar Hashem), and the Word was WITH Hashem, and the Dvar Hashem was nothing less, by nature, than Elohim!!
In the beginning this Dvar Hashem was with Hashem.
All things through Him came to be, and without Him came to be not one thing which came into being. In Him was Chayim (Life)and the Chayim was the Ohr (Light) of the Bnei Adam. (An aside….ohr is the light that separated the light from the darkness in Genesis ch 1, vs 3 day 1)
So. If we discard the OT, can we then murder, be adulterers, theives, worship many gods, hate our neighbor?
Why is nothing simple, succint and clear? What have humans been doing all these years messing up and confusing everything. What a species. God really should have paused on the 5th day.
Disobedience, from the ‘get-go’.
Talk about misinformation! Fake New?
It started in the Garden……..
In the beginnning CNN’s ‘experts’ told us that the Creator didn’t truly say that “We would all REALLY die!!”
That’s how it all started.
LOL... indeed that is where it started. Well said.
It's called concupiscence
Never heard this word before so thank you for adding to my knowledge base! I do not believe all of it is due to this however. I believe mankind is just plain stupid most of the time.
Whoa... do I really want to know that word?
I gotta say, it does strike me as intuitively making much more sense. It has the proper rhythmic feel. The world works in cycles and patterns - something I've come to appreciate more and more the older I get. The current calendar in use has no rhythmic sense to it.
I have been wondering why we don't use the moon cycles for our own monthly timing, because there's a lot of wisdom in following design. Hmmm, very interesting!
Too many of us women were sold on the idea that tracking natural cycles was oppressive and that we needed to manipulate them artificially to be “free”. Look at what that did for us.
Interesting. I'm still trying to figure out how all of that relates to me🧐
I'm glad to see I'm not the only person to ask himself, "How does this relate to Politico Phil?" I wonder if we will ever get an answer. 😎
Oh, Phil has the answer; guaranteed.....
Later Jay
I just need time to get around to it. So many threads, so little "time".
Here ya go, Phil. Now you have the chance to say you finally got "around to it": https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/1014749987/extremely-rare-a-round-tuit-coin
Seriously? OMG....LOL. You guys are good!
You are a living witness! AHHHHHHH.......
And here you just thought you are a "Casual Observer"......No No No....
Stop the planet! I want off!
Musk is going to Mars
It might be a one way ride however. ☝️👽☝️
I’m recalculating my age. With one more month/year I am years younger. I just know it!😁
If that works, it'll be adopted for sure!
Fascinating, but I’m retired and usually don’t know what day it is, much less the month. As long as the world keeps turning, giving me 365ish days of 24 hours, I’m good—no matter what the months are called. This is the day the Lord has made. I will rejoice and be glad in it!!!
Exactly! We have 6 Saturdays & one Sunday. What more do we need.?
YAH has commanded us to follow HIS Calendar and HIS Feast.
It is the only Lunar Calendar and it is marked by the Hi Holy days.
When you fallow The Torah Portion of every Shabbat is like you are reading a screen play.
Shabbat starts at sunset on Friday and ends on Saturday sunset.
When you fallow the Gregorian Calendar you will notice that everything is out of place.
Sometimes it marks resurrection before crucification. Etc.
Yashua fulfilled the first three Hi Holy days in perfect time, so He will fulfill the last ones in perfect order and time.
You can get one and compared with your regular calendar and see the difference.
By the way; The first day of the religious calendar was this last Shabbat from Saturday sunset to Sunday sunset
1th Nissan
Remember that The Lord commanded us to remember this day.
Why, Torah reading for that day Numbers 28:1~3
https://www.chabad.org/calendar/view/day.asp?hdate=1/1&mode=j
You can watch and listen to the Torah portion with easy to understand explanations at
esm.us and also get a beautiful calendar.
Blessed be the one that knows the times and the seasons, because you are children of light. Amen. 🙏
Carlos - Did you see the new crescent moon Sunday evening? The sighting of it confirmed the first day of the month, Abib, in this case the first day of the new year, after an intercalary 13th month this year.
The Biblical
calendar is both lunar AND solar.
The ‘world’s calendar is solar.
The Muslim calendar is lunar.
But our Lord’s calendar is both, as he gave them both for signs and seasons (His appointed Feast Days)
“He shall speak words against the Most High, and shall wear out the saints of the Most High, and shall think to change the times and the law; and they shall be given into his hand for a time, times, and half a time.” Daniel 7:25. I don’t know about you, but reading about ancient calendars sure wears me out! 😅
Interesting. It applies to the Northern Hemisphere. In the Southern Hemisphere spring is September 1st.
Man TT...that was cool!
"Coincidences Or Major Master Plan?"
Or what?
My Mom's Bday was April 1 1920
"All Fool's Day".
A family favorite! Hahaha
My Dad’s Bday was April 1, 1916. One year I iced and put candles on a foam cake for him.
The real April fools day joke, was to see if someone tried to eat it.......
That's so interesting!! I wonder if you have ever looked into the Zodiac (which Christians are taught to trip over themselves fleeing from)? I'm reading a book right now called The Witness of the Stars by E.W. Bullinger that posits the constellations actually point to Jesus Christ and are the means by which God told ancient humanity of His great Plan. I also have a book called The Astronomy of the Bible by E. Walter Maunder (early 20c) who was a few years after Bullinger (late 19 c) that I haven't read yet, but which looks also very interesting.
The 3 Wise Men following The Star were Astrologers.
If you're interested, astral theology is a thing and Dr. Michael Heiser has a very interesting short video on Youtube about Jesus birth and Revelation 12. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1X9zIFeGMH0. I really enjoy his podcast, Naked Bible. He brings in fascinating scholars and has a way of explaining difficult texts so average people understand. He is a Hebrew/Semitics and Ancient Near East Scholar.
Dr. Heiser certainly did talk about some fascinating things!
Makes perfect sense. Leave it to man energized by the spirit of anti-Christ to think they know a better way. As long as it deceives the masses. Sounds oddly familiar and more all the time.
Thank you for all of the info. I stumbled on the turtle calendar last year and it resonated with me immediately. I did some research (not nearly as much as you) and found that April should be the beginning of the year... which makes sense as it coincides with spring and rebirth/renewal.
Did you know there was a proposal to bring back a 13 month calendar by some American business men? It was in the 1920s or 1930s if I remember correctly.
Indeed, here are some artifacts from that era:
https://tritorch.com/degradation/TeslaResonanceTransition/CalendarProposedEveryMonthLikeFebruaryLeagueOfNations1931.png
https://tritorch.com/degradation/TeslaResonanceTransition/CalendarCommitteeMeetsToDiscussAdvantagesOf13MonthCalendarAcademyOfSciencesOctober1928.png
https://tritorch.com/degradation/TeslaResonanceTransition/CalendarMostAmericansFavor13MonthCalendarHenryLStimsonSecretaryOfState1931.png
So the real April 1st should be April 21st and so forth to tie it into Jesus' resurrection?
Actually I found this after a bit of digging:
"
The month of Nisan begins on the New Moon nearest to the Spring Equinox (the day when there is approximately 12 hours of sunlight and 12 hours of darkness). 14 days later would be the night Jesus was killed and 3 days after that the morning he was resurrected.
This year (2018) the Spring Equinox fell on March 20th, so the nearest New Moon was March 17th. That is the start of Nisan. So 14 days later was Saturday March 31st. This corresponds to the night Jesus was killed. 3 days later, Tuesday April 3rd would correspond to the morning he was resurrected.
The dates change from year to year and the date Jesus was resurrected almost never actually coincides with Easter Sunday. But the formula for calculating these dates always remains the same. So each year it is possible to know far in advance."
TriTorch, you might find this interesting:
https://dsscalendar.org/
It's important to note that Jesus Christ fulfilled the law. One who is in Christ, who abides in Him is fulfilling all the ceremonial aspects. Paraphrasing Paul, one man esteems one day, another esteems them all equally; one should be convinced in his own heart. Those who would Judaicise the Church are making a mistake, but there is nothing wrong with acknowledging the various feast days, in that this may give clues as to when unfulfilled prophecy will take place.
If you fulfill your marriage vows, does they mean your children do not have to fulfill theirs?
I'm not under the law, I'm under Christ. When tempted, I repent (turn) to Him, and by His Spirit, I am able to obey. It's not my works. It's Christ in me.
In the same way, if I am in Christ, the Passover is fulfilled every day. The same with every other sacrifice. Every day that I abide in faith in Him, and rest in Him, the sabbath is fulfilled.
Your example implies that I can fulfill something in someone else. I cannot.
Christ can fulfill these things, and did. He finished it on the cross. This is why I am not doing works of the law when I obey His commandments. It's His Spirit that's doing all the heavy lifting. My part is to turn to Him. Thus, I can only ever give Him credit; all my works are like filthy rags. If I try to obey "under my own steam," I invariably fail.
This is not something I do perfectly, it's something I have to learn. As an example: "Be anxious for nothing." I find myself being anxious far too often. When I realize it, I repent (turn) to Him and away from my doubt. It's an artifact of the times when I find that I have been paying attention to my flesh (e.g., fight or flight) and not walking in the Faith that my life is hidden in Christ.
What if the Earth is a giant clock? The term “face of the Earth” or “face of the whole Earth” is found dozens of times in the Scriptures. What part of a sphere is its face? “And God said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the FACE OF ALL THE EARTH, and every tree with seed in its fruit. You shall have them for food,” Genesis 1:29. “In your days, have you commanded the morning or assigned the dawn its place, that it might spread to the ends of the earth and shake the wicked out of it? The earth takes shape like CLAY UNDER A SEAL; its hills stand out like the folds of a garment,” Job 39:12-14. “It is he who sits above the CIRCLE OF THE EARTH, and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers; who stretches out the heavens like a curtain, and SPREADS THEM LIKE A TENT to dwell in,” Isaiah 40:22. PS: Most people spread their tents over a flat surface…
I've read a number of books on the history of the calendar and there's another explanation for what you've explained above.
Prior to Julius Caesar, the Roman calendar had 10 months, with December being the last one. In order to bring the Roman calendar in line with the Egyptian one, Julius Caesar inserted a month named after himself - July. In hobnobbing with Cleopatra, Caesar noted that the Egyptian calendar was better at tracking the phases of the moon, the flooding of the Nile delta and the planting season. Thus, he made a practical adjustment of inserting a month. He didn't rename a month called Quatilis.
When Julius Caesar died, Augustus Caesar's hubris caused him to insert het another month into the calendar - the month of August. If Julius could have a month of his own, so could Augustus was the vainglorious ruler's reasoning. Thus, the months associated with numbers (September (7), October (8), etc.) were pushed two months ahead.
As far as April Fool's Day, the Council of Trent forced the adoption of the Gregorian Calendar, which moved the start of the year from April 1 to January 1. Since news traveled slowly in 1582, people living in the countryside and other remote places weren't aware January 1 was now the start of the year. These people became the butt of jokes and were called April Fools.
It's my understanding that those months already existed, with the names of Quinctilis and Sextillis; that their name change was done, under Augustus' authority, by way of honoring his great uncle--and the Senate seems to have said, "in for a penny, in for a pound"--let's honor our current first citizen at the same time.
Nice work, Tri!
Thanks for posting this. I wondered about this but didn’t have all the story behind it.
Re: The "easy test for gals"
I am a moderately fit 60-year-old woman, yet I could easily qualify to enter the police academy in Texas because they adjust the standards for sex and age. Would a criminal run at a slower pace trying to escape from me just because I am an older woman?
Most men, especially these days, couldn't meet the qualifications either. I have not heard a lot of whining about that. Standards are called that for a reason.
Just like the lower health standards for pilots after the shot rollout.
Yes, that was appalling... and IMO... criminal.
One standard. That’s it. Whether it’s college admissions, military fitness, or any other standard. We need hard, objective metrics, not squishy subjective goals or quotas.
Lol. It's not just Texas. We watch several real-life cop type shows and they're filmed in several cities throughout the country. My hubby is a retired cop and he's constantly amazed at how many overweight and physically unfit cops there are.
Texas does have a standard of “command presence,” which is a maximum weight circumference in order to not appear too out of shape, and there are separate standards for men and women, but it doesn't vary by height, which seems like an oversight to me.
FEMALES – 38 INCHES
MALES – 43 INCHES

Similar to what the LA FireChick stated... You all want someone to cuff you who look like you do... we come a long way from days of old white hetero guys doin the first responder work for the more diverser communities of modern America
Reminds me of the old show Murder She Wrote, where they had 70 year old Angela Lansbury's character chasing down young criminals in the street.
And the way she would scold people...owch
Let’s turn it around on them and start saying that those who favor the special standards for women want more women to DIE 😑
If I had sons, I wouldn’t want them to join a military that allowed less fit women to fight alongside. Not only would my son have to fight the battle, he would have to carry the larger load, cover the women’s weaknesses and not be confident of being removed from danger if injured.
Yeah that makes sense. Maybe partly why recruitment numbers have been better under Trump?
When my son joined in 2019 he was appalled at the relaxed standard for the women. And that was under Trump. Then they got worse under biden! He went through Basic and the guys that couldn’t cut it were released. The women had a lower standard and got waivers all over the place. The guys were so mad.
I don’t blame them!
And I don't think the part about the Times wanting them to die is too far-fetched. The VA is a scam and our vets do not get the proper respect and treatment they deserve. I saw this video last night on tiktok (posted by a former Marine) saying as much.
https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP82EMwVk/
The VA is another organization that needs to be rebuilt from scratch. Their systems are terribly outdated and, of course, don't integrate with any other systems. My brother Dave, who owns a software company, once told me (years ago) that the VA paid $10,000,000 for a software project that Dave's company could have done for < $100,000.
Same. I’m 57 and could definitely get a handful of full pushups out of myself even though that’s not something I specifically train.
A male criminal would definitely run slower if pursued by a female officer. He would want to be caught. He would want to be put in handcuffs. He would want to be strip searched. He would want to be...er, never mind.
Coffee & Covid will be ending very soon, as Jeff will be joining Trump's team as his chief legal strategist. It's been a great run, but bigger things are afoot.
;-)
Good news, Trump needs him more than we do.
You don’t mean that … mean.
Of course I was being sarcastic. We cannot let Jeff go.
Have suggested to husband that J Childers Esq will be in DC in the '28-32 term.
Neil - that's a cruel April Fool's joke - we would need to clone Jeff so he could keep up our daily dose. Pretty sure, though, Jeff would be able to be Trump's chief legal strategist AND continue to serve up our daily C&C.
Wisconsin and Florida need to vote! Trump needs stronger house majorities to execute the MAGA agenda.
One thing we need to do imo is re-draw how we determine who should be included in the census. This is, at base, why the D's are in favor of the invasion of illegals The census does not only count U.S. citizens.
It counts every person living in the country on Census Day, including undocumented immigrants and green card holders, where they usually live and sleep.
This one reform will take care of the disadvantage conservatives have in winning congressional seats. I think that one move alone will level the field....and sanity can return.
This has to be addressed immediately by the administration.
We have lived in the country for 35 years and have never been contacted in any form, by the Census bureau. I have had to fill out some Ag Dept census forms so my critters have been counted.
I got so sick and tired of this that I quit. Regulations and red tape to die by.
The sad thing is, this is nothing new. I just wrapped up reading a Teddy Roosevelt biography by David McCullough. In the late 1800's, America endured the same divisiveness, corruption, and redrawing of the lines to get more votes - not to mention many other perfect parallels to politics today.
And, back then, the NYT was red, red, red.
You are lucky. Apparently, the Census Bureau has other census work that they do. One is pestering average citizens to tell them how many hours citizens worked in a given week , if any sick time was taken or vacations time. For this the census worker calls Joe Citizen monthly for a year. They pry into your life and ask questions that are none of their business. I objected to this intrusion and was harassed for days: mailings, phone calls and personal visits. Finally after they substantiated their claims that this was a legitimate action, I gave in and agreed to give them the info. Then the worker tells me I can use pseudonyms for members of my household. So I can lie? I completed my year long sentence of harassment, only to have the Census Bureau call me again, looking for someone else. When I told them they had the wrong number, they started sending letters to that person to my address. It is like a pesky gnat that won't go away...
We are only required to tell them the number of people living there. When they morphed into gathering all that other nonsense, I don't know. I only provide one answer, a number. They don't need to know how many toilets I have in the house, for the love of all good things!
Like all government, it grows like a malignant cancer.
8 of my critters are wolves, maybe that's why we don't hear from them ..... .
I'm 68, retired Navy. I've filled out exactly ONE census form in my entire life. Been at the same address 25+ yrs. Have never received one at my address.
I'm nipping at your heels, hitting 68 in September. I never had to register for the draft, the only thing Ford did that I really liked, so maybe they think our age bracket isn't worth counting.
I've never filled one out...because I've never received anything to fill out..and I'm 53!
How the heck is the count even accurate.
So we're not the only ones!
didn't Dems push for "statistical sampling" too so all of the underhoused transients get proper advocacy and representation (overly so) by the MOST Conniving and Wickedly Opportunistic amongst us? Maybe they should count the dead, the historically displaced, AND the aborted in "their" Districts just to show their inclusiveness in viewing marginalized humanity
Yes. The question is why did Republicans allow this to happen?
Good point.
Because they are really RINOs, or wolves and sheep's clothing
"Who will look out for People of Room Temperature? Think of the Differently Inanimate!"
Just bring back the category of non citizen that the idiots stripped off a fairly recent Census.
I am a hobby genealogist. Old censuses are illuminating. Various censuses listed in addition to where the person was born and where each parent was born, language spoken, male or female, color (white or black or mulatto) whether person could read or write, whether they went to school, occupation, whether they were citizens/naturalized, whether they were prohibited from voting, whether they were insane or an idiot or deaf, and other characteristics varying with each census since 1850. So everyone was included, but not necessarily allowed to vote. Obviously women could not vote before 1920 but they were in the census.
Genealogists looking at old censuses are why I agreed to answer the long questionnaire when a census worker showed up in 2020. Masked, of course, which was stupid because we were outside.
Anyway, the first question was how I identified, male, female, or other?
I stared at her and said "You know that question blows the whole purpose of the census, right?"
She sheepishly agreed, but those were her orders.
In Prince William County, Virginia immigrants are stuffed in houses. They don't rent out rooms, they rent out sofas.
And if they don’t speak English don’t include them.
Especially now, since English has become our national language
Mr Childers, you never cease to crack me up. That Logo!!! 😂😂😂
I was falling right along for it until I came to the picture of the logo. Too funny!!!!!😂😂😂😂😂. I want that hat. Or a T-shirt. If you put it in your merch, I will buy it.
Free the files!
I also like the DOGE--Democrats Officially Getting Exposed shirt that I saw on a clip--but those available for purchase are not as powerfully printed.
Only $15 on Amazon!

So will I!!
Okay Jeff, you got me. I was ready to make some comments about aliens, and possibly Elon being one. Yep, I fell for it.
Looking forward to Liberation Day tomorrow.
Dave,
How about Mark Zuckerberg? He has the strangest eyes 👀 He gives me the willies.
There are a lot of (Q) people who think Zuck is a robot....
Hey, Curtis, I’m not a Q person (whatever that is) & I have always wondered if Zuckerberg was a robot or a hybrid. He is very robotic in his behavior, especially when in congressional hearings. BTW, Beth, I have never claimed to be sane. My name is Abby Normal.
No they don't. Maybe fake Q people, but not any sane person
Same here! 😱
🙌🏼
I totally bought the alien story. What a world we live in that its plausible
I think the Joke may be that it IS TRUE-ish, and that we're really FOOLs to NOT believe it and then laugh afterward, Release The Elvis FILES now too!
But they're the same files . . .
So true !
I was reading it to my husband and halfway thru I said, is this a joke? And I love the little guy with the red hat!

Masses of Americans are fleeing blue states in favor of red ones. The trend has defined the past half-decade.
California is the poster child for this, but we see examples nationwide. Minnesota is one. Andrew Isker’s roots there are nearly as deep as anyone’s. His family has lived in the same North Star State town for six generations, and he never planned to leave. Then Tim Walz happened.
Walz’s liberal policies, including his advancement of the war on Christianity, made Isker realize he had to get out. He couldn’t bear the thought of raising a family under that kind of leadership. Why would he subject his children to that?
Now free and living in Tennessee, Isker is working to create a refuge for Christians: a place where they build a new and real community based on faith and freedom. It’s worth learning about.
Isker joined today’s Tucker Carlson Show to detail this revolutionary project, why Christian nationalism isn’t what the media says, what’s so confusing about atheism, and more.
Andrew Isker tells Tucker:
“Christians need to band together to leave places where they have no protection whatsoever… If [Christianity] comes back, the kind of Christianity that sees Jesus in the Gospels and sees a man that is on a mission and is totally courageous… if that kind of Christianity makes a comeback, then that’s an America that has a future.”
“Christians need to band together to leave places where they have no protection whatsoever" Who then will be the salt....
Sometimes you need to regroup, though. I am not advocating for a cult - a la Waco or Branch Davidians - but more a community sharing common values more akin to the Amish. I haven't watched the Isker interview but maybe he is talking about a Benedict Option.
It's a rare thing that a person would advocate for a cult. But often that's the path separatists lead to.
A COWARD's "SOLUTION"...screw the world, i'll look out for ME and hunker in my bunker
Definitely a risk, for sure.
So we protected our children from public school so they could build their faith go out into the world and shine the Light in this wicked world, not built a tower to keep us tied in. That's all been done before and all you have to do is go to any church ANY REAL CHURCH or any Christian organization or colony of do gooders and you'll quickly find that it cAINT be Heaven because you are n't There. Very immature of him and those who believe in him. 😫
Yep. I was thinking this is how cults begin.
Well, Lot's wife turned to salt when she looked back.
Pelayo Clans began forming during Covid when Christians realized they were under attack. Neighbors would gather to offer their skills and services to each other and to be ready when persecution hits.
It is based on the rebellion of King Pelayo against the Arabs
https://nemosnewsnetwork.com/king-pelayo-a-symbol-of-resistance-and-inspiration-for-christian-nationalists/
Good article; thanks for sharing.
"In the context of today’s world, where Christian values are under constant assault from secular forces and internationalist ideologies, the story of King Pelayo serves as a powerful example of Christian resistance and resilience. Just as Pelayo and his followers refused to submit to the Moors, so too must Christians today resist the forces that seek to undermine their faith and way of life."
The Christians Engaged non-profit is doing good work in this area. https://christiansengaged.org/
Colorado's MILQUETOAST Republican Party stumbles along...more moderation and bipartisanship needed to appeal to the Moronic Mushy Middle Under-thinking and Unafilliated Fool Voters whose only concern is their selfish daily issues. While the Ruling DemoCult Party simply panders to this group and plots Societal Statewide Authoritarianism with Token Bi-Partisanship (NON-PARTISAN) as the ends of their means, knowing the IDIOTS will never see or believe it is happening. Benevolent Bolshevism in Action.
I believe our Lord called it being “lukewarm” and something about being “spewed out of His mouth.” 🤢🤮
Isn’t there a saying that says, “if you don’t stand for something, you’ll fall for anything?” I feel like this is what that “mushy middle ground” is all about.
The Republicans in this nation need to pour some concrete into their spinal cords! 🔥🔥🔥
Question: do the blue states have natural resources that the globalists want *
It’s a good piece.
just watched this. great interview! I hope only the "normal" flee from blue states as I don't want their crap woke agenda oozing out in my red state. I thought of the movie The Village when he mentioned a refuge where real community can live in harmony.
"male Marines must do 3 pull-ups or 34 push-ups in two minutes"
Im sorry if a young man can't pump out 50 push ups in a row I don't want them defending my family.
If that's the case I'd rather do the fighting.
I thought this was the April Fools. 3 pullups is a joke. I just looked it up on the Marines website and it is legit for minimum initial standards. Forget the women's standards, we need to reinstitute PE class in grade school!
In grade school we had the Presidential Physical Fitness tests, put in place by JFK. I remember it well. Maybe his nephew can reinstate the program.
The school where I work (nurse) does the Presidential Physical Fitness test & the boys (boys school) hotly compete! All have to run a mile too. (might be part of it?)
Yes. We need to reinstate Reagans physical fitness test!
Do you mean John Kennedy‘s physical fitness?
Reagan had a competition where you got patches for achieving x amount of this or that...or who was the fastest, etc.etc.
I thinks he may have just expanded on Kennedys original initiative.
But I'm a child of the 70's and early 80's...so I may have just thought it was Reagan.
Yep, I earned those patches of which you speak. It was always a challenge and very fun!
You’re a young pup Ryan!
53!...sometimes I feel 83 tho
I felt like 83 today. We hiked in the desert yesterday, lots of rocks and big steps up, went down the easy way! Lol
The reward was a beautiful cold spring at the top though! (We’re in So Cal for another 5 days 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻). Beats Central Oregon in the winter, still snowing there.
Oh my. So jealous!
It’s the Boomer place to be. Start saving up for an RV!
We are contemporaries. I will never blame you for thinking that Reagan was all and all was Reagan. 🤣
I absolutely agree. Our son is in Army basic training right now as required before he can report to OCS and of the 40+ in his platoon only about 15 could meet the minimum requirements (which means achieving a score of 360 out of a possible 600) while only he and one other gentlemen scored above 540 with the others struggling to break out of the mid 400s. None of the women could meet even the minimum requirements the first time around. They will give them two more tries but since they are not giving them a lot of PT time one wonders how they will improve. PE should definitely return to schools. It could definitely improve so many problems with our youth. Even moderate exercise is so helpful. And last I checked the only thing enemies give you if you are not fit is imprisonment and or possible death. Why would we want to fill our Army with substandard warriors?
Part of our homeschool PE was running 5K’s and doing sprint triathlon stuff… That’ll get you in shape! 👍🏽😰😁 BTW, The sprint triathlon stuff looks really good on a college résumé. Fun stuff! 😁😁😁
Great idea! And so good for them! One day they will thank you. We live out in the country so I used to make my kids walk with me around the orchards everyday and then help with all the outdoor chores, I didn’t even think about making them do something that would help their college applications (it was a time when few colleges would even look at them and I lacked the foresight) I appreciate your heads up planning - way to go! Homeschooling was a fabulous time. Our youngest is now mid twenties with a masters and entering the Army. It went by all too soon!
It definitely has sped by… 😳 I have graduated five and have one more to go. It has been a tough time, but a fabulous time! Great job mama! 😁👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I definitely tip my hat to you beginning homeschoolers… Y’all took heat, so that the rest of us could have an easier time. A profound thank you is directed your way.
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽😊
Homeschooling has definitely grown… Our homeschool group had about 30 families in it when we began 25 years ago… Now we have over 100 families. I’ve also noticed the growth of many other homeschool groups in our area. I also know many families who go out solo w/o a cover. 😁😁😁
I would encourage you to use your hard earned wisdom and experience for the younger mothers, who are just beginning to contemplate homeschooling for the future of THEIR children as well… We are the veterans, we need to pay it forward by giving knowledge and especially encouragement to them. 🥰😁😁😁
When I see how other countries handle homeschooling, 😳😬😱 we are truly blessed here in the good old USA… 🇺🇸🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽💖
Congratulations to you! Sounds like such a joy filled journey!!
I have and do help as many moms as I can as I see more and more in our church making the decision. It is truly a blessed experience and so uplifting watching so many join the home educating movement. I am now even privileged to help one of our daughters and some of her friends. I am grateful to be able to do it.
And yes, we are very blessed here in the USA. I have several friends in Austria and there schooling laws were actually established by Hitler and never abolished so near impossible for them to truly homeschool. Same in Italy and who knows where else. Sadly even some US states are trying to make it harder and harder. We were fortunate, believe it or not, here In commifornia as it was so easy to do even three decades ago. I have no idea about now, but we were blessed then with no obstacles to entry. Even those of us who did it on our own as co-ops and or groups were not really established.
I appreciate your moniker. I pray God continues to bless us as a nation, especially as we appear to finally be returning to Him!
Prayers for you and your family. And thank you for helping new younger moms. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I know, even an old guy like me can still do that. I wouldn't enjoy it but I can do it. 🤠
I did 41. Just to see how many i could do at 53.
That was 7 hours ago...now i can barely lift my arms above shoulder level.
The last time I did some push ups, several months ago, I hit 20, that was enough to experience the thrill of the rubber-arm buzz for a couple of minutes. 5 pull-ups are my limit but I'm trying to remember to get in the daily habit of just hanging without the pull-up, it's harder than you might expect but they say it's good for you. I can go about 30 seconds now but would like to get to 90 seconds, or at least 67 seconds for the number of my years.
Lolol! You're funny
As my father liked to remind me, when it comes to being funny, looks aren't everything ...! 👁👁
Such a sad state of affairs if this is the example.
The 9th Circuit has BLOCKED President Trump from discharging transgender troops even AFTER they’ve been medically disqualified https://www.reuters.com/world/us/appeals-court-wont-delay-block-us-militarys-transgender-ban-2025-04-01/
unbelievable. they need to go especially if medically disqualified. they put others in danger.
The 9th circuit rarely fails to muck things up.
While I was at Pensacola I happened upon a Marine in the gym with a counter going for some sort of push-up record. He was passing 5000 as I walked by!
50 pushups in a row is not easy. Yes, I can bob my head 50-times, but solid form down up isn't easy.
Any young man has the capability to do 50 push ups in a row. All it takes is 2-3 weeks of training.
I was doing 100 in a row during wrestling season when I was 8. By the time i was in high-school I could do 300. Even the heavy weight guys could easily rip off 50 in a row.
Im 53 and only play tennis and I was just able to do 41 in a row in perfect form...and i haven't done a push up in 15 years.
But i may not be able to get out of bed for 3 days after doing the push ups today...;)
LOL!! Right with you Ryan!
Unknown,
I agree! There’s a big difference in how hard a push-up is depending on form. I used to be able to do around 60 pushups in my workouts. Straight line, chest almost to floor, and all the way up. I would do sets of 16 slowly, in between other arm work and cardio.
A colleague of mine decided to show off a bit and did push ups, but he didn’t go all the way up and down. His range of movement was very quick and small, but he got a lot in quickly.
Also, tricep push-ups are much more difficult than standard ones.
Anatomically, a woman doesn't have as far to go for chest on floor. That puts her at an advantage. Possibly the only one (two).
Those are some tough "requirements." They won't help us in war, but they'll help us win the summer and winter olympics.
Try carrying your weapon, ammo, flak, helmet, pack, water, rations, radio just on a patrol in 115-degree temps, then imagine an enemy that gets a vote in what happens next...
I would submit that not just anyone can do it and yes it does certainly help win battles, not just the summer and winter Olympics. The military needs to be in peak condition, period. No compromises, no exception.
Thank God for President Trump and Secy Pete Hegseth to get our fighting force back to where it was and will be again.
Amen!!!
Of course physical fitness helps in war.
Marines are the only one that I would not worry about the initial standard. Drill Instructors in bootcamp will have them in the best shape of their lives by the time they leave there. I went into Aviation Officer Candidate School (AOCS) having my last cigarette that morning. I came out in the best shape ever. I have been working out my whole life between sports and the gym. My mom said that I should have paid my drill instructor!!!
Right! Those standards are a joke even for males! My granddaughter just got married to a young man who is special forces, she sent us a little video of their daily activities which included a short clip showing her husband doing 3 pull ups in 3 seconds! Granted, special forces are “Special”, but what the heck?!
Anthony Fauci arrested!
He was he was found spray painting a swastica on Elon's CyberTruck. Busted!
Make a great episode on THE BEE.
Best April Fool's Day joke ever! LOL! Thank you Jeff Childers, needed a good laugh in these insane times!
As an early riser (we live in Utah), I wait to read C&C aloud to my husband, but for some inexplicable reason, I decided to "cheat" and read it as soon as it arrived in my IN box.
Now I don't know if I can keep a straight face when I read Jeff's opening salvo to my hubby!
You are unfaithful! Repent. And read aloud ASAP.
🤣😍
Say what you will about Trump, the man is a walking, talking wild card. That's why I got more than a few sentences in before I realized it's April Fool's Day. But these days, you never know.
You son of a gun!!!! I am not even finished reading your substack but i had to pause and write this comment - you had me going!!!!
When the history of Trump 47's term is written, it should be called the "Look! Squirrel!" Administration.
100%! The cat and the laser pointer is just a perfect encapsulation.
Love it!!! Say that to my dogs and they take off running. My youngest has 5 squirrel kills so far ...
