Fluoride: the highly toxic industrial waste product that needed a home, so they sold it to hapless municipalities who then dumped it in the tap water. Sounds like a sound business solution from the dark triads that run the corporations. Have fun in hell guys.
Speaking of hell, this goes out to all you wretched warmongers in Washington rattling your sabers to spark WWIII just before the changing of the guard:
You smug faced crowds with kindling eye
Who cheer when soldier lads march by
Sneak home and pray you’ll never know
The hell where youth and laughter go
— Siegfried Sassoon, Suicide in the Trenches

You fasten all the triggers for the others to fire
Then you set back and watch while the death count gets higher
You hide in your mansion while the young people's blood
Flows out of their bodies and is buried in the mud
Let me ask you one question is your money that good?
Will it buy you forgiveness? Do you think that it could?
I think you will find, when your death takes its toll
All the money you made will never buy back your soul

The tragedy of war is that the young men and women die fighting each other - rather than their true enemies back home in their capitals. —Edward Abbey
Awesome poetry! We must keep the growing anti war sentiment alive. No war unless directly attacked. Unfortunately, a direct attack these days could likely be a False Flag, like 9/11. We live In perilous times.
The single most disappointing thing to me about the Mlilenials and Gen X generations , and the current Z ones, is there has not been one single anti war protest . Ukraine, Somalia, Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya, need I go on?. Not. One. Not one single protest song. Not one single protest movie. WTF happened to rebellious youth? Spoiler alert, you little douche bags. If you agree with the Man, you aren't a rebel. Global warming, Ukraine, mandates, masks, woke, DEI. Idiots. Cowards.
Speaking of "protest" where is the outcry for the lack of help for the people in Western North Carolina?? Tennessee? It gets COLD up there. These people do not have a place to live other than tents..not heated. I suggest that as the Biltmore is open that as many people as can fit,quiet a large number, be moved into it. They will be warm, not sleeping on the ground in tents..will have bathroom facilities and put of the rain and snow. Absolutely shameful that Biden admission had the gaul to send more money overseas and not help NC and TN. Not to mention the housing that has been given to the illegals, money, credit cards, phones, free health care, free airline tickets, etc etc etc. Pray for these people. Yes. I know Florida was damaged but it is not freeze A cold there.
Maybe the people who lived the Viet Nam War (WW 2 witnesses are mostly gone, same with the Korean War), should start the protests and get the conversation going.
Not buying it. They are in their '70's, and many have residual issues and damage . How 'bout these sorry losers start carrying some water themselves, and stop looking for someone else to take the first bullet. I'm sick and tired of all of the people who are afraid to stick their head above the parapet. Too many of the people I've forwarded truth articles and podcasts to for 18 years who never. acknowledge anything I send so they will have plausible deniability if the thought police show up at their door. I like the color yellow , but not for the same reasons these people do.
Many young people today have been pansy-fied. They're soft, self absorbed to the point of almost useless. I've noticed, as I shop, that many of them never speak, never look me in the eye. It's like they're afraid.
This was an offshoot of the radical feminism that vilified "toxic" masculinity. And the parenting mindset of the baby boom generation protecting their kids from their own shadows.
Mommy and Daddy won't let them go, lest they get a boo-boo. They don't respect their mommy and daddy, let alone the country they reside in, they've never had to do without or do as told, therefore they don't fear having to do anything against their will now.
They always have been the party of war, the party of racism and misogyny, abortion. The party that started and funded the KKK, Jim Crow Laws. The party that now finds Antifa, BLM, CRT, mutilation of children. Always.
Aren't the Republicans also a party of war? Haven't they sent billions to Israel to continue their war in Gaza? But that's not really a war; it's a slaughter, a mass genocide of civilians.
Who's war? Started by terrorists slaughtering innocent people. Terrorists who hide weapons and soldiers in and around hospitals and schools. Obviously those terrorists don't care about the lives of those in the area they are hiding. Aren't there still hostages, at least one American? But blame Republicans because Israel is fighting back.
You have NO idea what is really going on. Don't you even ask yourself why ICC issued an arrest warrant for Netanyahu? It's for the mass murder of innocent civilians. How are old men, women, and children, without any weapons, a threat to Israel? Yet IDF has murdered up to 200,000 or more of these innocents. I'm not talking about Hamas soldiers. No, innocent civilians. Go read some real news besides whatever biased FAKE news you read. You won't find real news about this on C&C.
I met a WWI veteran (that's not a typo - he was in the First World War) who said that he was the only one who had a Bible on the ship of men headed to the front lines in Europe. He quickly became very popular. He was quite an amazing man. If I recall correctly, he was over 100 years old at the time I met him. He still lived in his own home. His military occupation was to carry artillery to the front lines in a horse drawn wagon. The life expectancy for his MO was very short but God protected him. At the time I met him, he was still participating in Bible study.
I really wish I could remember his name. His daughter was so sweet. She would prepare meals for him to keep in his freezer so he could continue to live independently. I am so thankful for the times I have been able to meet such incredible people.
My first marriage eons ago was performed by a wwi veteran, a chaplain then, and our senior pastor at the time. I’m pretty sure he was close that age when he married us.
We went there ~20 year ago. Very sobering. Huge granite monoliths lined up side by side , with names on both sides. Brits fired artillery non stop for a week, but since the Germans were hunkered down deep in their bunkers, it did nothing. First day over the top, 20K Brits were mowed down. Day 1. Months to go. And BTW, there was a second Battle of the Somme later.
Did you know that Mexico fluoridates its table salt-my guess is because people don’t drink the tap water. I even saw a bag of sea salt that had fluoride added 😱
Read the back of any toothpaste package and they call it a poison to be remedied, if too much is swallowed, by contacting your local poison control center immediately.
See thats the thing: they ALWAYS tell us what they are doing in the small print so they can mitigate bad karma. “Well, we did tell them, it’s their fault for not doing their due diligence.” Goes their warped thinking.
The only issue with RO filtration systems, for every gallon of clean water it uses a few gallons in the filtration process. That is as they say, ‘water down the drain’ that you have paid for. (Unless you’re on a well I suppose.)
We solved that problem by running a small water line through the garage, into a 100 gallon water storage tank (which we got at a farm supply place) that’s on outside wall of the garage. The tank is elevated on a stand we had fabricated by a local welder. We put a spigot on the tank with an overflow valve on the top. We have a long hose connected to the spigot.
When the tank gets full, the overflow valve drips and we just run the hose to outlying shrubs and trees in our yard use that water. The water is gravity fed and the tank empties out.
So no water is wasted.
We live in a large metro city in SoCA, not a rural property.
So the filtering of our well water to make it palatable and safe is now a priority. But I live in Florida, so I guess the fluoride point is moot. But I still find it an easing of concern to be using the aquifer water made safe. No one can poison that.
Do you add any minerals back into your water? We have an RO system, and I go back-and-forth about whether my diet covers all the minerals the system took out.
Just like Vitamin D - look at your supplement ingredient - Cholecalciferol is a poison. Google it. Highly toxic. Same ingredient as is in rat poison. Do NOT take my word for it. Look it up yourself!
This is an interesting article on toothpaste & care. I use the recommended toothpaste Himalaya & really like it. If it can reduce the teeth cleaning experience, I’m all for it. The info on xlylitol was especially interesting. I use the xclear nosespray that also contains it. https://deeprootsathome.com/can-xylitol-help-you-skip-dental-cleanings/
The tea plant takes fluoride up into its leaves. Evidently, tea also has a lot of oxalic acid and there's a later story of a man who drank so much it destroyed his kidneys.
Yeah, I am a tea drinker. I'd be very happy to have no fluoride in my water since some is already in my tea.
Japanese tea produced in Japan has the lowest amount of fluoride. White tea has negligible amounts, green tea more. Black tea from anywhere and teas from China have the highest amounts of fluoride because the tea plant absorbs fluoride from the air. Japanese eat tons of seaweed, which is full of natural iodine and mitigates the extra fluoride ingested by tea. Best to get a good fluoride and chlorine filter for your water, drink only tea produced in Japan (Ito-En is a good brand), eat seaweed (you can get it in supplement form), and take a drop or two of Lugol's potassium iodide every day. Also, don't eat commercially produced bread; they put bromide in it (instead of iodine as in the old days) which blocks iodine uptake to your thyroid. IMHO, these are the reasons in the US that lead to obesity, on top of the impact on one's IQ. And there's no need to buy toothpaste: brush your teeth with with a pinch of baking soda and real sea salt. You can add a sprinkle of xylitol on that, too, for good dental health and taste, if you like. Thank you, Dr. Ladapo!
King Arthur has always made a point of its flour being "never bromated". Course, being subject to glyphosate for hurrying the harvest is another matter.
I buy flour from a small company out of Minnesota called Sunrise Flour Mill. Their wheat is a heritage wheat that is grown without pesticides, non-gmo, etc. They don't bromate it. It's ground by a mill from the 30s. Around 2011 I stopped being able to eat commercial flour. Thought I had suddenly became gluten intolerant. Fast forward to a few years ago, I found this company. It was founded by someone who had the some of the same health issues as I did. Realized he could go to Europe and eat all the bread he wanted. He started looking into how wheat is produced here and wanted a healthier alternative. I use their flour to make everything from scratch and I have to issues. If I accidentally eat something commercially baked I get so sick.
Probably why so many on Thyroid meds!! Like me!! I hate this crap! I love bread! O have cut down but geez j in breed to buy a bread machine!! My hands just won’t knees anymore!! I’m so thankful we are all still even alive after what we learn!!
I have been using einkorn, and just finished a bag of spelt. Both have less gluten than hard red wheat, and so want less kneading. I never considered self or husband to have any gluten issues, but I note that when I bake biscuits with either of these, eating several biscuits results in a very comfortable tummy, rather than a heavy, stuffed feeling.
Also--I took courage in hand at end of December, and every two months cut back another 10% of levothyroxine. At this point I am taking just 1/2 tablet twice a week. Curiously, while noting no discouraging side effects, I find I have energy that I last had 30 years ago. None of the signs of "hypothyroidism" apply.
Also--someone on Substack (Remnant MD or A Mid-Western Dr most likely) that over time, Pharma narrows the window for being hypo or hyper whatever. So more people fit into the group. = more drugs sold.
Also on thyroid meds for yrs but switched to Armor yrs ago. Functional medicine dr just suggested daily Iodoral to up some thyroid level (i forget) and possibly get me off ridiculous thyroid meds completely. Maybe discuss with your dr. Good luck!
After the tsunami > Fukushima meltdown in 2011 and knowing ocean currents are quite the dynamic circulatory system, in the northern hemisphere from Asia toward Alaska, south along the N American west coast toward the equator and west back toward Asia - in the southern hemisphere the direction is reversed, "counter clockwise" circulation; not sure about the rumored reversal of circulation in flushing toilets🤷♀️- I figured it best to find another source of seaweed than that of the circulating waters of the Pacific despite that harvesters and distributors from Pacific waters anywhere, Asia or Americas, claimed their findings that their products were tested and safe. I didn't invest in a Geiger counter to verify. Not worth it. My plan was/is avoidance.
For anyone interested, a seaweed source from the American near North Atlantic: https://seaveg.com/ They have the real deal (many varieties) dehydrated, from full leaf to flakes to powdered, and also a couple of encapsulated supplements.
Never had health issues leading me to seek out seaweed, still don't, just naturally gravitated toward it as a food, inspired by Asian cuisine, especially the island nations - surrounded by water! The more I learned about this food source, the greater my gratitude to God and angels for inspiring me to follow their whispers.
Threadwinner for suggesting baking soda for brushing teeth.
Pro tip: you don't need to add salt.
It can't be beaten. Dentists don't want you to know this because it eats into their projected revenue based on all those twice-yearly cleanings and treatments for gum disease.
Yes! My husband & his family lived in West Texas for a few years where naturally occurring fluoride (different from what is added to water elsewhere) was plentiful in the water. None of them had cavities until very late in life. It did cause slight discoloration of their teeth, but cavities, gingivitis, etc, did not affect any of them.
That would fit, the father of propaganda likely knew his manipulation tactics would be even more potent over a dumbed down populace with calcified pineal glands. If true, That psychopath thought of everything.
Seriously. That's all they can do, since they can't feel anything, all the life force goes to the maniacal mental power. A good documentary on Bernays and mind control of the masses is Century of the Self on YT.
On the Highwire awhile back, Jeffrey Jaxen interviewed the main attorney on the anti-fluoride case. He goes into the history and as I recall this was largely the work of one man who knew better but lied. I can't remember the details at this point but it was a good interview and well worth a listen.
I did not know that. Also interesting that bread conditioners lower iodine levels which affects the Thyroid Gland. And bread is at the base of the food pyramid. It seems our "Health" Department is anything but for health
I keep this link handy to show people who only watch legacy media. It is an incredible interview and describes how THEY KNEW it would cause harm and they did it anyway and buried it.
Advertising and propaganda techniques are "lesser magick," clothed as "social science." Add to these techniques the use of chemicals, and it's sorcery. Witchcraft. These things were taught by the angels who sinned, referenced by Peter and Jude.
Those who know the Truth and follow Christ Jesus and do not fear death, can now testify to those who fear death, and oppress. Soon enough, that testimony will be against them and not to them.
This is what i meant Tom, your comments are among the best.
Speaking of lesser magic, to anyone interested, predictive programming in movies, news, and television are also forms of this known as ‘revelation of the method’. This technique softens up the target to accept what is coming with less resistance than they would otherwise. If interested in this subject, watch the following (quite) unsettling 4min video, then check the description for 20+ more examples:
I have tried to educate people on predictive programming and receive the "are you INSANE" look! I had someone tell me that he knows the truth and would not be manipulated. He's a big fan of Harry Potter.
SO many examples of predictive programming that goes back to the advent of TV. Hollywood has "influenced" the masses to do all kinds of things. Hair styles, clothes, fast food, alcohol consumption, Big Pharma, aliens, pandemics, adultery, murderers getting away with murder! Even in the 50's families only had one, maybe two children. Remember when parents slept in separate twin beds? Not no more! More recently, kids in movies are dropping f-bombs to their parents who do NOTHING in response!
That and many other toxins we find in our daily products. Great business model ain't it!? It will be interesting to see how this all plays out - an admin with Kennedy in it, who wants clean air and water, with others who think we need no regulations. Look at what these companies have already done to poison us when we supposedly have regulations that are "burdensome."
People don’t think, that the crux of it. Daddy gov says it’s good and daddy gov would never lie so its good. QED
The bigger the government grows the less people feel they are responsible for their own lives. This fresh convenience frees up more time to watch and be manipulated further by their idiot box television on how great daddy gov is.
True that! I have a personal beef with fluoride because as a child, though sub-clinical, I was fluoride injured. It's worst effect is on the brain. I made sure to raise my two babies with no exposure to fluoride and as a result they are both "at the top of the class" mentally. I have no doubts that the massive fluoride contamination of our youth has effectively degraded the mental abilities of today's American children and young adults.
Seriously Phil. My mom had my teeth given flouride treatment several times. But I make sure my kids toothpaste has zero flouride and I haven’t even taken her to the dentist!!!!
When buying my bottled water (I know, silly me) for my Keurig (more horror) I noticed gallon jugs of "Nursery Water" with FLUORIDE ADDED for your babies & kiddos! 😞😞😞
If only the anti war movement of the 70s had been this articulately intelligent. The best they could come up with was ‘MAKE LOVE NOT WAR’. But alas, they actually knew nothing of love or war.
Journalist Christopher Bryson claims in his new book “The Fluoride Deception” that the post-war campaign to fluoridate drinking water was less a public health innovation than a public relations ploy sponsored by industrial users of fluoride–including the government’s nuclear weapons program.[includes transcript]
Hailed as a harmless chemical that would prevent tooth decay, new evidence shows how fluoride could be linked to serious health problems.
Fluoridation was first advanced in the US at the end of the second World War. Proponents argued that fluoride in water and toothpaste would help to protect teeth and prevent decay. Over the following decades, fluoride was added to public water supplies across the country.
While the benefits of fluoridation have been held to be unquestionable, accumulating evidence points to a frightening prospect: that fluoride may have serious adverse health effects, including infant mortality, congenital defects and IQ.
Now a new book, titled “The Fluoride Deception” by Christopher Bryson examines the background of the fluoridation debate. According to Bryson, research challenging fluoride’s safety was either suppressed or not conducted in the first place. He says fluoridation is a triumph not of medical science but of US government spin.
I keep thinking don’t these people and their families drink water too?? I mean they are OK with poisoning there own kids?! Same for chem trail pilots. 😡
They probably don't drink the water. King Charles ensures the pedigree of all his food and if I recall correctly, the places it is sourced from are those where chemtrails are not being sprayed.
Not sure about the Pilots as that is one that really irritates me. During March/April of COVID, the skies were beautifully clear with puffy white clouds. Typically, these type of agents are arrogant and the security clearance helps then think they know more than the next guy. Plus, you can't 'see' the tangible effects of the damage they are wreaking because it is a slow burn of the soil health and all our food 'looks' good.
But the chem trails blow upon the prevailing winds. I do not think there is anywhere to grow stuff that is not untouched by these. Man cannot control as much as they want us to believe...
I 'heard' that the pilots of those planes are plucked from the military. They are the ones with issues, no families etc. And they only fly for 18 months then they are sent away with a nice pension and probably an NDA+. Now if there was some way DOGE and 47 could make null and void all the NDA's between government and citizens? I don't think there is anything about those in the Constitution. Fair Game!
Grr, well that would make sense. Probably problem pilots who didn't cut the mustard. I sure hope there are no 'safe keeping' for these CRIMINALS! I have hope but I have also seen things never change.
What I don’t understand is how they got away with it for so many years. One of the foundational tenets of medicine is the right to informed consent. Your doctor can’t give you a drug without informing you of its potential dangers. Or he sure the hell shouldn’t, because you could have his license. Likewise, fluoride is a prescription-only drug that municipalities all over the country have been adding to the water supply without the informed consent of their constituents. How could this legally have been possible? Last I looked, there were no physicians on my local municipality prescribing the drug to be added to municipal water, and certainly not offering informed consent to the constituents who drink that water. Seems to me, there ought to be a lot of bureaucrats either in jail, or paying through the nose for what they’ve done…
THERE YOU ARE, T.T. - SO GLAD to see you posting on C & C "army blog" once again--the battle belongs to the LORD JESUS CHRIST and we are his LOYAL 'SOLDIERS'!!
Perhaps that is the point. There’s always something in play killing the young men in the western world. Got to keep that group under control with weakness, disability/illness and death.
The war was planned- it will give Trump an opening to do something bad, and also keep his cover and get Americans on board with it. Same old nonsense.
Fluoride is in all the food irrigated with fluoridated water and every bottle of water on the shelf since they do nothing to get it out. The only water without fluoride is RO (reverse osmosis) and distilled and distilled is questionable since distillation is a costly process. Everything edible made in the US that contains water, has fluoride in it. It's ubiquitous.....rather like glyphosate, which is found in 75+% of rain water on the planet.
Not true. There are many bottled waters that do not have fluoride, but you need to go on th internet to see which ones,. They also list the test results
I am very much aware of that. Time and space won't allow for listing all of the literally thousands of things the khazarian mafia has put into our food, air , and water to deliberately poison us.
Wonderful commentary of hell on earth and who owns it. Many accept the four elements of fire, earth, air and water but too few recognize the fifth, the soul (or spirit).
Thank you Anita--I use the 3 dots very often to correct my comments--hadn't noticed the reporting (Tattling?) option but have just now used it for Kimberly/Janice/whoever.
I realized something this morning about why God allowed the events and suffering of the past four years, when Americans have faced confusion, frustration, and heartbreak as our nation navigated unprecedented challenges. It can be hard to understand why God allows such hardships, but perhaps there is a greater purpose at work (Romans 8:28) —one that points us toward renewal, accountability, and hope for the future.
What if these struggles were meant to reveal the moral and spiritual crossroads we face as a country? The challenges have shown us the depth of our need for reflection and change. We’ve seen how corruption and bureaucracy can stifle justice, how divisive tactics can harm unity, and how drifting away from foundational values can lead to instability. These eye-opening experiences have served as a wake-up call—a call to action, a call to faith, and a call to return to the principles of truth, justice, and freedom.
If these years of hardship had not occurred, would we have truly seen the urgency to stand up for what matters? Perhaps God allowed this season to strengthen our resolve, to bring us closer to Him, and to remind us that no matter how dark the times, redemption is always possible. As painful as it may be, it is often through adversity that we are shaped and refined.
Now, more than ever, Americans are engaging in important conversations about faith, freedom, and justice. People are stepping forward to protect the values of life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness for future generations. This isn’t just about political change—it’s about a deeper awakening, one that challenges us to build a society rooted in integrity, compassion, and faith.
The good news is this: it is not too late to make a difference. Together, we can restore hope, renew our commitment to what is right, and move forward with unity and courage. Let us take this opportunity to reaffirm our reliance on Christ, to stand for the truth, and to rebuild a nation that reflects the ideals of its founding—a nation where justice, faith, and freedom reign.
Our struggles do not define us; our response to them does. And with faith, we can trust that God’s plan will lead us to a brighter, stronger future.
I’m sure I would not have seen it. I then opened my eyes and ears and allowed God to give me the information I needed. The more I saw of truth, the more truth our merciful God gave me. A closed mind, certain of their righteousness, will not open that door.
Yep! And then you realize God is sovereign and Joe Biden being president was part of His plan. Once I internalized that, It was easier for me to accept the stolen election of 2020.
I have held thoughts along the same line: that had the Democrats--and their globalist allies or handlers--- not STOLEN the 2020 election, we would never have realized how utterly evil they are. Yes, I use "utterly evil' on purpose. And Mr. Trump would have wasted his term fighting them.
“ I suggest to you that it is because God loves us that he gives us the gift of suffering. Pain is God's megaphone to rouse a deaf world. You see, we are like blocks of stone out of which the Sculptor carves the forms of men. The blows of his chisel, which hurt us so much are what make us perfect.”
Renea, I've been thinking about studying Judges. I'm going to try Stephen Armstrong's study in the Verse-by-Verse app, which is phenomenal by the way. Thank you!
Thanks for that reference, I’m reading the Bible from beginning to end (only my second time doing this). I’m on Deuteronomy now, and will be to Judges in the not too distant future.
I listened to his Revelation study during the summer to prepare for the Revelation bible study that BSF is presently facilitating. Gathered much insight...
Oh cool! When I study, I usually read a chapter one day and then read the commentary the next and write down notes if I feel less to. I have almost the who set of j Vernon McGee's commentaries. I don't always agree with him but he does a good job. I am only to chapter 6 right now. It has been a few years since I studied judges. Probably closer to 10 years yikes.
Susie, you have an amazing way with birds. I totally agree. If we had not suffered, these last four years peoples eyes would not have been opened and their hearts would not have been opened. God has a purpose. Have faith.
I truly pity any children conceived in that union. They will be proudly aborted, or if allowed to live, gleefully transed, or poisoned and indoctrinated with leftist lies in a woke bubble. At best they will be nothing more than an accessory to narcissistic parents.
And they have this to hold over his head for four years. Not at all happy about that. Do you think that corrupt piece of human excrement did this because he woke up? No, there are other plans afoot.
Pure cringe is right! This pic in your piece YB says it all about the white dudes for Harris ,or in this case Harris sycophants : “The body language in her profile photo is astounding - have you ever seen the groom holding the flowers while being held by the bride?”
Will he be disbarred at some point? I keep thinking that guy needs to be held accountable somehow. Judges are not expect from the law either and what he did to Trump was shameful and he ignored the law and twisted it to fit his agenda. I’m waiting for accountability for all these criminals but can we hold him accountable too? Otherwise he waits 4 years and then decides to send Trump to prison. How do we stop THAT?!
"Elected representatives come and go, performatively figure-skating across a peaceful frozen lake, while all the real business of government frantically transacts in the churning, sunless waters concealed below the icy surface."
The Lord Jesus is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, would be smart to follow Him closely!
“Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war. His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. He had a name written that no one knew except Himself. He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. And the armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses. Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.”
Both Ed's and Janice's posts this morning are obviously in sync with the Holy Spirit and apropos to the subject of my comments concerning the possibilities of WWIII.
Phill WW3 it’s called Armageddon, it will happen when Israel gets sorrounded by nations that will back up Satan’s manifesting power called “The antichrist”. I don’t mean not to be concerned about the latest coming from Ukraine, but to pray shooting missiles of interceding prayers against the evil in those nations!
But get ready Jesus is coming first for His bride!
MARANATHA!!!! This is NOT the second coming, because He will not step down on earth, He will call His bride from the clouds (like electromagnetism, we will be pull up, if the Spirit of God is in you).
And each person is one day closer to eternity with each day that passes. 2 Corinthians 6:2...Behold, now is “the acceptable time,” behold, now is “the day of salvation”—
My response was simply indicating that each person has a limited number of days without regard to any other circumstances. No one knows which day will be his last. The question each person must ask is, "Am I prepared for eternity? Will I stand in judgment or will I stand in Christ's righteousness?"
That's one of those things that I personally think about a lot. I have come to the conclusion it will be a long and painful road but in the end," Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven". One either believes in the Word or one doesn't. ❤️🙏 So to me, praying for peace is not futile, it's praying for the fulfillment of
Hmm, I understood it being the last Gentile since we are in the time of the Gentiles and then it returns to the day of the Jewish. The 7 years. I will relook. :)
There is a very interesting history to the Rapture doctrine. First, it was never espoused or even mentioned in the early first-century Church—those who personally KNEW and followed the Primary Source “Document” of the Faith (Jesus). Nor did the Church ever espouse or mention this doctrine for the next 18 CENTURIES. The Rapture doctrine was invented in the 1830s by a man of questionable character named John Nelson Darby, who was a wealthy Irish aristocrat and the leader of a cult called “The Exclusive Brethren,” a cult which in turn gave rise to one of the most notorious figures of modern history, Freemason and black magic occultist Aleister Crowley. John Nelson Darby published an English “translation” of the Bible which is full of occult language, and which in turn gave rise to Cyrus Scofield’s “translation,” also full of occult language and bearing one of the most important Freemason symbols on its very cover, the Point Within a Circle. Darby was also the inventor of the false doctrine of Dispensationalism, and a mean-spirited, verbally abusive bully of other church leaders who dared to disagree with him. As Jesus said in Matthew 7:18, “A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.”
Thank you! On numerous occasions, I have addressed this 'doctrine' directly from the Text relying mostly on what Jesus said in the Gospels but it always seems to fall on deaf ears. The dispensational indoctrination prevents people from considering the plain meaning of His words or, really, any other interpretation other than the "system" of interpretation they have been taught their whole life.
To extend your comment a bit further, I would ask, why is it that today's church has no impact in today's culture or society? It is because the church, following Crowley, Darby and Scofield, has withdrawn from society in the belief that "the world belongs to Satan" and as a result the church is no longer leaven to the society nor is the church salt to society? And this is exactly the condition we find the church in today. If anyone wants to understand how America got to where we are today, let them begin with the fact that for nearly 200 years the church has abandon her duty to be leaven and salt in society by prophetically speaking God's Law to society. Instead, the church sits in their pews each Sunday listening to how Satan rules the world and listening to titillating sermons about the end of the world and their escape via The Rapture. What did the Lord say about salt that has lost it's flavor?
I think it’s because Christians have been taught that they don’t need to follow YHWH’s commandments in the Torah. If you don’t follow God’s commandments, then you behave just like the rest of the world. There are billions of good people in the world who aren’t Christians, but they have a good moral code and they don’t murder, they don’t lie or steal, they don’t commit adultery, and they love their neighbors. You don’t have to be a Christian to do those things, so if that’s what Christians think sets them apart from the world, they are sorely mistaken. In that regard, there is no difference between Christians and the rest of the world.
God implores us to be holy, set apart for a sanctified purpose. Christians aren’t set apart. They look, sound, eat and act pretty much like everybody else. That’s why they have no impact on culture or society. They can talk about Jesus until they’re blue in the face, but if they act and live like everybody else, nobody will notice that they’re different.
But if they obeyed the Torah, they would look WAY different to the world. They would not do things the way the world does them. They would not be getting tattoos, vaccines, blood transfusions or organ transplants. They would not be having pre-marital sex or any kind of sex outside of marriage. They would dress modestly. They would celebrate the Feasts of YHWH and not the pagan holidays celebrated by the world. They wouldn’t be eating pork, shellfish, shark meat, catfish or rabbit meat. They would not be eating out at restaurants, unless the restaurant specifically serves kosher food, because it is impossible to know whether restaurants are using completely kosher ingredients. They wouldn’t be sending their children to public schools or universities, because the teaching of children is specifically reserved to parents and not pagans. And they probably wouldn’t have televisions in their homes, and their children would not have access to cell phones or social media.
If Christians lived like THAT, they would probably get more curiosity, notice and respect from the world, much like the respect that the Amish and Quakers get.
When it comes to “reaching” the world, Christians like to quote Paul’s saying that he was, “all things to all people,” but the majority of us aren’t like Paul. And we’re not like the Apostles either. They were specifically commanded by Jesus to go out into the world and make disciples of all nations. Yet very few of them actually left their home territory to take the Gospel to the Gentiles. It was mostly just Paul, Barnabas, Phillip, and Peter a little. Why didn’t the others go out into the world to be missionaries? I would imagine it’s because they had families. They had children. Once you have children, your first God-given priority is raising them, protecting them, and teaching them the ways of God. They are to be your first converts and disciples of Jesus.
Instead, Christians do most things exactly like the pagans do. It’s no wonder society disdains us, or worse, pays us no mind at all.
There is no Biblical precedent for God’s faithful being removed from danger, only protected from it. Noah and his family were protected in the Ark while the oceans raged. Daniel was protected from the lions in the lion’s den. The Hebrew children were protected from the flames in the fiery furnace. Lot and his family were escorted out of Sodom by angels. Jonah was protected from the storm by being swallowed by a whale. The faithful are always protected while the wicked are taken out. It’s never the faithful who are taken out and the wicked who remain. Even in Jesus’ parable of the wheat and tares, it is the tares that get bundled up and burned while the wheat remains.
The entire rapture narrative collapses when you look at scripture. This rapture event supposedly encompasses the entirety of the body of Christ on earth. The closest analogy I can think of is God's deliverance of the entire population of Israelites from Eygpt. The parallels are obvious. As you said, they were "protected" and the wicked that pursued them were destroyed. We are never taken out of life. We are required to go through it and build something better on the other side but only after learning the hard lesson of repentance from believing in false gods and accepting God's Word/Law as the only standard of life. When Moses broke the tablet of the Ten Words, he demonstrated the lawlessness of the people and their need for repentance. Only the next generation were allowed to enter the promise land.
But even aside from these obvious examples, the dispensational system discounts the meaning of Christ's Ascension to His throne and the establishment of His kingdom over the earth disinheriting Satan of his dominion which was ceded to him by the First Adam in the Fall. What a travesty of doctrinal interpretation and an affront to our Savior and King. This is analogous to the Israelites building an idol to Baal rather than exercising faith in God who was leading them as their King and Deliverer.
The dispensational system of interpretation cannot be reconciled with Scripture and their rationalizations are so convoluted no one can understand it. Their explanations always resort to referencing headlines to current events. The commitment of Christians who have been raised in this theology for several generations is based on an emotionalism that transcends the plain logic of Scripture, most especially the statements by Jesus in the Gospels. It is analogous to trying to red pill Americans who have always had faith in the MSM, the political establishment and the efficacy of the medical establishment. It is very hard ground. And I suppose the rapture is a much easier way out than the prospect of working to disciple the nations to Christ's law/word. That's too much work.
Spot on! I didn’t pursue the line of Scripture in my original comment because Christians have heard it before and they simply take the word of their pastor in the pulpit as to its meaning. But most people have no clue about the nefarious history surrounding the false rapture doctrine. So you have to plant seeds in their heads to cause them to look twice at what they believe, and hopefully they will become like the Bereans and “search(ed) the Scriptures daily, (to see) whether those things were so.” Much like Biblical cosmology…😉
Nobody is celebrating; Prayer without ceasing is a command not a choice, and the fact that we know about the future through the lenses of God’s word is not to cross my arms and wait for it but participate actively in the unfolding prophecy’s we are witnessing right now. Blessings
Let the good news keep rolling in!!! At this time of Thanksgiving, we are thankful for Jeff, his family, and the C &. C army. Be encouraged and celebrate the wins!!
Florida's Surgeons General truly is a super star!!! Ahead of the curve! Brilliant! Desantis too, for appointing him! And I love to remind my elected officials in Boston, and at the state house here in Massachusetts, at every opportunity, that Dr. Joseph Ladapo went to Harvard medical school, and then went back and got his Masters in Public Health at Harvard. I just love to remind them of that!! When I pass his opinions along to them. 🙌💫♥️
Dr. Lapado is a hero. I wish he were chosen for a position in Trump's cabinet. He is not owned by the "Pharmaceutical Industrial Complex" and he is courageous in his opposition to their regime. I want to see someone who isn't wishy-washy about medical freedom in a position of influence.
This is trending on X, everyone is very upset about this lady with the scary eyebrows who likes masks. Everyone wants Ben or Ladapo. Trump must be aware of this trending
Yesterday I confessed to being ridiculously giddy about the potential state of our union and Trump’s strategic stacking of the appointments deck…seemingly 15 steps ahead of EVERYONE ALL OF THE TIME. I stand by that. And, like yesterday, I STILL cannot WAIT to see what tomorrow will bring. And I can’t wait to see the dynamic duo DOGE the dysfunctional degenerates running our country…and watching McMahon dismantle the depraved Department of Education will be a delight. It’s an exciting time to be alive!
This was such an inspiring piece to read from El Gato. Praying all his bold predictions come to pass. It certainly gave me a great deal of encouragement and glee.
Nard, I’m as giddy as you, with the exception of Trump’s pick of Dr. Janette Nesheiwat for Surgeon General. I’ve listened to her on FOX and she is too much in line with what the government health agencies claim are best for us, and refers to their sham studies as gospel. Although she does not adhere to mandates which is hopeful.
Well, I'm praying the government health agencies' claims change, and she will have something great to be in line with.
If Surgeon General is a "PR" job as some suggest, then she needs great "gospel" to promote. Hopefully, she will become a solid convert herself, and we'll live to see it.
"over the course of time, the overwhelmed (if not outright lazy) politicians delegated more and more management responsibility to unelected, partisan bureaucrats, assembling in the process a massive, biased federal bureaucracy that has become an anti-democratic shadow government. Elected representatives come and go, performatively figure-skating across a peaceful frozen lake, while all the real business of government frantically transacts in the churning, sunless waters concealed below the icy surface." Wow. Beautiful description of hell.
"Whenever a particular politician stops skating and tries to peer into a crack in the ice, the pallid finger of the deep state emerges from the frozen waters and pokes them in the eye." Hadn't gotten to this part. 🤣
to disrupt the seemingly perpetual ice or the denizens populating the stagnant waters below will be viewed as destroying the harmonious ecosystem or what is and should always be. To roll back the Progressive Bureaucratic State will be seen by most as an attack upon America itself, or Revolutionary extremism. Those with a larger view of life, liberty, governance, and humanity's options see it as a failed experiment that has constrained and controlled and limited freedoms for the benefit of a clique and to the detriment of the rest of us.
A great book about the massive US govt admin state is titled “Over Ruled” by Neil Gorsuch. Published this year. All the lawfare against trump has been happening for years against individuals and states. We have to cut the thumbs and toes off the leviathan admin state
One of the things that makes our side so ineffective is their almost autistic-like unidimensional thinking. They don't comprehend that good is better than bad, even if it's not perfect. They don't get that things don't change instantly but incrementally. Rather than be happy that X is infinitely more free than the old Twitter, and played a huge role in Trump's election, the whine and obsess over perceived slights.
Note how they never put out reasoned arguments explaining their concerns, but just drop these low-IQ condescending snarks that accomplish nothing. Can you imagine having a face to face conversation with someone like this? They take zero pleasure in small (or even large) victories but just bitch about how it's not perfect. It's rooted in a sense of ingratitude, entitlement, and self-pity. All emotional poison.
I'm thrilled Elon is on our side and grateful for it as I understand how devastating it would be if he was on the other side. The guy isn't perfect but he's brilliant and a visionary, but more importantly he's willing to risk what he has for something he believes in. I'll take those types of people on my side any day.
🎯🎯🎯. He single handedly preserved our freedom of speech, at great financial and personal cost. Without Musk, we would not be looking forward (🙏🏻🤞🙏🏻🤞) to a Trump presidency, or to the awakening of masses to the horrors of the Covid shots.
Or, as a poster pointer out above, perhaps this free speech illusion is for his own ends to build towards his AI and transhumanism dystopia. Certainly a possibility.
But what, exactly, does Elon believe in? Yesterday, in response to the Time cover with his "checklist", he tweeted - "I am trying to make life multiplanetary to maximize the probable lifespan of consciousness. Some of the items below are needed for that." That IS his endgame - to maximize the probably lifespan of consciousness. Not mankind, not our species, not humans - consciousness. He's clearly tranhumanist and views our physical bodies as meat sacks. I have been trying to square this with his buying of Twitter. My working hypothesis is that he is gathering all of the Twitter data to feed into his LLM, and also as part of this archiving of consciousness. He realizes that freedom of speech is necessary to get the most authentic model, the best data - it's simply the optimal environment. As long as our short term goals align, he's an ally. But there is going to be a tipping point and if he's amassed enough power, it's not going to matter what us useless eater's think.
Yes, and you've probably said some nutty stuff in your life too.
At this point the overriding issue is free speech vs. controlled speech. Without free speech we can't even discuss the stuff you mention above is a good idea or not. Without free speech those in power will simply do what they want and crush those who oppose them. Without free speech people are jailed and/or destroyed for questioning things like forced vaccination, lockdowns, flooding the country will illegal aliens, endless wars, and looting the treasury to send it overseas.
We came dangerously close that just a few short years ago. Elon spent $42B of his own money to make X a place that allows and fosters free speech. He did that because he believes in it as it was a terrible deal from a financial perspective. No it's not perfect, but it's light-years better than what it was. And it undoubtedly played a huge roll in the election as it counteracted the corporate media's lies.
Elon also went all in for Trump when he knew he would be financially destroyed and likely imprisoned if Trump lost. It was a huge gamble, it would have been far safer and easier to stay neutral but he didn't. He stuck his neck way out because he believed the country needed to change and this was probably the last opportunity to do so.
This is exactly what I mean with so many people on our side. They obsess over minutia out of their own insignificance, ingratitude, and self-pity and completely miss the big picture. None of these whiners have 1% of Elon's vision and fortitude. And I'm not crazy about the guy as I work for a big competitor of his. But I recognize what he did for the country and am grateful he's on our side.
You don't know he is on our side. Why is this difficult to comprehend? Or do you have a personal relationship with him and actually know this? Has it occured to you that this could all be orchestrated in order to get people who are resistant to Musks transhumanism agenda to slow walk forward with it? Again, , not claiming I'm right, but it amazes me how much blind faith people put in billionaires who five minutes ago were your enemies.
How do you know that Elon is on "our side" exactly? You don't. It's that simple.
Last time I checked, our "side" is supposedly against AI and transhumanism, something Musk says is "inevitable." He also is heavily vested in dangerous mRNA tech (curevac). Satellites covering the entire planet for total surveillance and potentially ushering in a biometric state......UBI once his robots take all of our jobs.....I could go on, but we've been there before.
You can call us all stupid whiney babies, but in the end, none of us know his true intentions, but I do know there are more than enough red flags that I'm not going to claim he is on "our side." Perhaps he is the lesser evil, but the jury is still out on that one.
AI is already everywhere, so he was correct that it is “inevitable.” We just need to “unwoke” the software. As for as transhumanusm, application of these technologies is indeed inevitable. It’s the “responsible
application” that’s in question.
So far, he has shown me nothing alarming. Who could not want our brain or spinal cord injured vets, or regular patients to improve?
All the latest picks sound good, they used common sense and weren't mandating the vaccine, so they believe in personal choice.
As for Ladapo, leave him where is here in FL. We still need him just how we need DeSantis.
I rather have RFK get the position, someone who is has experience fighting pharma and everything else he's done throughout his long political career. He MUST get the cabinet position.
I'm a federal employee. After being threatened with get the jab or lose my job for more than a year, here I am again most likely getting fired. I am tired of the lies about federal employees. I worked from home long before covid hit and I do have to go into the office to work. It is a perk of the job much like the amount of vacation time you can earn based on your employer benefits. We earn less than the private sector so other benefits make up for a lower salary. But these blanket statements of federal employees are lazy, people wishing for us to get fired, and people just generally not caring about us is upsetting. Federal employee salaries are such a small part of the budget that even if DOGE fires 75% of employees (probably less than 75%?), it will be a very small savings. The terrible federal employees are the focus in the news constantly instead of gov't overspending. People are rooting for us to get fired. Sad! Remember how people felt when you were threatened to get the jab or get fired? I agree there are too many employees and cuts should be made but I've been a dedicated employee for over 15 years so it sucks people are excited about us potentially getting fired. Look at the remainder of federal expenditures and frivolous spending. That is where the cuts will reap far greater benefits but 75% of employees as if we are the sole reason ? Have some compassion for those dedicated employees who will lose their jobs. We are human too.
Well, I agree civil servants like you exist. But I'd also argue that the 80/20 rule applies that most are just not valuable or efficient. Why that is flows into your other observation.
The true waste is in the over regulation of all govt contracts and projects. Every requirement in a contract requires money and time to prove you met it. And the number of requirements has grown at least 10X in my career.
Example: the original contract to build the rockets that launched astronauts to the moon were under 20 pages, self contained. The contract for the shuttle launch vehicle was more than 400 pages and contained hundreds of other reference documents.
SpaceX had to file suit to bid on space station resupply contracts because they didn't have the history and staffing related to programs like ISO 9000. They won the lawsuit on the basis that most of the "requirements" that disqualified them from bidding had nothing to do with the mission requirements.
SpaceX's bid then won the contract at less then 30% cost of the other huge corporations. And they are demonstratedly far superior at executing the contract at that price.
Congress and agencies add waste that then has to be implemented, tracked, proven to get paid, and enforced.
Right. The waste isn't in employee salaries, it's in appropriations? To ultimately fund bloated contracts awarded unsurprisingly to friends? And then "tracked, proven to get paid and enforced," along with other - as Musk/Ramaswamy have pointed out - redundancy/ies across agencies? A simplification to be sure, but pointing out it's less about the employees themselves. And undoubtedly there's a +/- Pareto distribution among workers. There typically is. It's more like a law of human nature than theory.
I know a wonderful federal employee IRL (in real life). This person is one of the few conservatives in their long-time ranks too. You're right that we need to be more thoughtful about this topic. I think the 'rub' for many, including myself, is what we perceive to be fabulous benefits, vacation time, and pensions - when so much of that has disappeared or been greatly diminished in the private sector. People are angry about that, as well as what seems to be a lack of accountability from the top. I briefly interned at a federal agency and was told they tried to spend their budget every year so as not to have it cut. The incentives seem 'off'. DC office buildings (taxpayers footing the bill) sitting mostly empty is one example. But anyway, I take your point and want you to know there are people out there who care.
Thank you. I work in a small office and it is mostly full every day. We are field agents so we are on location doing our work (not in the office) and yes we also work from home. I agree on the budget. I've had to fly out of state for work when there are agents in that state that could do work. That is a waste of taxpayer money. I also agree that they try to spend the budget so they get the same amount the next year. Our benefits are not that fabulous. They are competitive but not fabulous. Many businesses allow work from home due to covid. When I hired in with the gov't, I took a substantial pay cut. We make a decent salary but less than the private sector. We often don't get a COLA increase or the increase is a percent or two - again, less than the private sector. Bonuses? Bonuses, if any, are small. It's not that glorious but I do like my job. I think I voted myself out of a job. Lol
You’ll be better off away from there. I worked for the Fed out of college and the benefits were great. But when I got married and moved, I went to work in a real community bank.
The atmosphere is far superior as far as work ethic goes. At the Fed, everyone slacked the same amount. It was kind of a team slacking. It was really a fake environment, not at all like the business world, even though it didn’t feel like it at the time. The real world is just superior to the bureaucratic world.
Carrie, I think you may be underestimating how much Mr. Musk (and we) are depending on folks like you to be the sound and solid wood in the soon to be pruned limbs of government.
Yes, if your management is worth its salt (?) they'll recognize where pruning would be most effective. Your ilk would not be top of the list. Been there, but not in government. So has my millennial daughter during covid. She was a piece of the skeleton crew to keep the medium sized business afloat. (I did something right raising the kid! Phew.)
Carrie, same with public school teacher's yearly budgets. We were encouraged to spend every dime. Many years I would have been fine spending a fraction of the money I was given. A much saner approach would have been a budget based on need.
Not all private sector jobs get COLA increases or bonuses. It’s very dependent on the sector and profits. My husband had many years without a pay increase or bonus because of market conditions.
Yes, the “we have to spend this money so our budget isn’t cut” is absolutely true in all sectors, even private. You should have heard the screaming when we were told every department had to cut spending 10%. Zero negative results; barely noticed.
Look at Twitter/X after Musk took it over. What did he cut? Close to 75% of a bloated workforce? Seems 'X' is doing just fine.
Same thing needs to happen in the Federal Government. If anything, the Gov't is even more bloated probably.
There are many fine people in Gov't service, just as in any profession. I can sympathize with their experiences. But as with any business, it comes down to shareholder value. The Federal Gov't is severely light on shareholder value at the moment. Time to trim and slim.
Hard for those directly impacted. Good for the business (the US) in the long run.
So, if that means shedding departments and divisions, slimming down operations, time to do it. Commiserations to Carrie and others that may be potentially impacted by cleaning house and essentially making Gov't employment more similar to the free market economy.
Aunt worked for the census bureau for like 40 years. She was a top-notch worker and human being so I know there are good federal employees of which I'm sure you are one. Of course there are whole departments that could be shut down and and probably bloat on the ones that are needed.
I hear you. Kind of feel the same about how people talk about trans. The children lured into this need outright sympathy and support. This is the big reason I voted for Trump. The Child trans ideology is the important one. I don’t give a rats patootie what trans adults do, frankly. I have family experience with the child transgender evil. Maybe I’m too sensitive. 🤷🏼♀️
I agree. It is pure evil. The kids are being indoctrinated by their teachers and the constant push of LGBTQ via TV shows, commercials, music, etc. I've been a Trump supporter since he came down the escalator in 2015. I fear I voted myself out of a job, unfortunately. I'm glad Trump will put an end to the woke culture that has destroyed our country and youth.
The LGBTQ started years before 2015. Southpark had a show about it in 2005 and I have a friend who started her 9 year old on hormones and transitioned him with surgery when he turned 18 in California. "She" is now 26
If you feel that your job is essential then maybe you will not lose your job. Also, keep in mind that the Trump administration will be generating more jobs in the US. Have your resume updated and be ready to secure an even better job.
Carrie not all private sector jobs are what you imagine. It took me roughly 30 years to make 2.5x my starting salary and after 36 years my salary amounts to rightly$1.50 a year. I get 4 hours of sick leave a year and that is limited into my vacation time which is earned at about 3 hours a pay period. And my benefits are roughly 6x what they cost when I started. Pretty much industry wide standard as pay is based on years in the job vs merit.
The problem I see is that government union jobs have a distinct advantage... That is the government isn't expected to make a profit to stay in business and they negotiate with other people's money( tax payers). And instead of doing more with less, which has been the mantra of private sector nearly my whole career, the government just increases the budget and hires more people.
Every business has deadwood. That's why merit and measurable accomplishment should be the standard.Perhaps the salaries saved by pruning the useless should be redistributed to the
That’s the thing though. Everyone believes they have value (a normal human need/feeling) and should be kept on. I don’t doubt your assertion that you’re conscientious and not a slacker. I am sure there are many out there like you. The issue is, does our government really NEED to perform all of these functions? Do we need this many people working? For me it’s not so much about the perks or so-called laziness but more about, should the government be responsible for doing this work? I personally think it shouldn’t be, in a great many cases. And if we take all of the small cuts together, they will add up. Also the government will have less power because it won’t control so much. I’m sorry that there is a possibility your job may be one targeted and sympathize with your situation. But if we start thinking this way, we’ll never cut anything because there are always at least some people who are decent and trying their best who will be negatively affected by the changes.
And I definitely hope you are one of those retained, but if not, I hope you find a different amazing job where you can use your skills and where they’ll appreciate you! Also kudos to you for refusing the shots and for sticking to your principles! I truly admire that!
I have a couple of relatives and a really close friend who retired from ‘government service’. And no, federal workers are NOT paid less than in the private sector. They retired with HIGH pensions and benefits that the private sector can only dream of having, in addition to being offered the best insurance money can buy…..and for life!!!
One friend turned in her notice to retire and was told “If you work two more weeks you’ll get an extra $1,000/ month! She was already going to pension out after 20 years, at the same that my husband gets after 55 years in the private sectors, sans the RollsRoyce of insurance packets. And all she had to put in was 20 years + 2 weeks!!
From my experience, I took a significant pay cut to work for the gov't. In my former job, I got bonuses and now that employer is giving out much bigger bonuses than when I worked there. Insurance would be comparable. I'm glad your relatives had better experiences than I but I do not believe that is accurate of today's federal employees. There is a difference between CSRS and FERS retirement. I will not be getting the retirement plan or the RollsRoyce insurance plans your relatives got.
I agree! My husband was fired for not complying. Now he has a federal job and is a remote worker. He is hardworking and never abuses his work at home privilege. However we Will Not be moving to Philadelphia. I don’t know what will happen but I believe the pyramid of Govt employees has been inverted to Top heavy and my hope it that the top will be cut down to size and the workers will not be the focus.
I'm sorry your husband was fired. Yes, too many at the top and think many of them will be let go especially if they cut as many employees as they say. I have to account for my work time at home and say what I do each day whether at home or in the field or office. Our time is monitored by our time sheets so it's not like we just spend 8 hours at home unaccounted for. Interesting times for sure and I hope your husband is able to keep his job.
Thank you, yes he has to do that too and I believe many are on the up and up, but I know not all and those are the ones who need to be cut. Hopefully it will be fair and not like everything else :')
Fluoride: the highly toxic industrial waste product that needed a home, so they sold it to hapless municipalities who then dumped it in the tap water. Sounds like a sound business solution from the dark triads that run the corporations. Have fun in hell guys.
Speaking of hell, this goes out to all you wretched warmongers in Washington rattling your sabers to spark WWIII just before the changing of the guard:
You smug faced crowds with kindling eye
Who cheer when soldier lads march by
Sneak home and pray you’ll never know
The hell where youth and laughter go

You fasten all the triggers for the others to fire
Then you set back and watch while the death count gets higher
You hide in your mansion while the young people's blood
Flows out of their bodies and is buried in the mud

Will it buy you forgiveness? Do you think that it could?
I think you will find, when your death takes its toll
All the money you made will never buy back your soul

Awesome poetry! We must keep the growing anti war sentiment alive. No war unless directly attacked. Unfortunately, a direct attack these days could likely be a False Flag, like 9/11. We live In perilous times.
The single most disappointing thing to me about the Mlilenials and Gen X generations , and the current Z ones, is there has not been one single anti war protest . Ukraine, Somalia, Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya, need I go on?. Not. One. Not one single protest song. Not one single protest movie. WTF happened to rebellious youth? Spoiler alert, you little douche bags. If you agree with the Man, you aren't a rebel. Global warming, Ukraine, mandates, masks, woke, DEI. Idiots. Cowards.
Speaking of "protest" where is the outcry for the lack of help for the people in Western North Carolina?? Tennessee? It gets COLD up there. These people do not have a place to live other than tents..not heated. I suggest that as the Biltmore is open that as many people as can fit,quiet a large number, be moved into it. They will be warm, not sleeping on the ground in tents..will have bathroom facilities and put of the rain and snow. Absolutely shameful that Biden admission had the gaul to send more money overseas and not help NC and TN. Not to mention the housing that has been given to the illegals, money, credit cards, phones, free health care, free airline tickets, etc etc etc. Pray for these people. Yes. I know Florida was damaged but it is not freeze A cold there.
Lahiana. Palestine PA. They are consistent in not giving a shit about Americans while feeding the money laundering capital of the world.
they have zero fear of having to go.
That's it exactly. The all-volunteer forces are a post-Vietnam invention.
Mass Psychosis. They have eyes but cannot see.
Maybe the people who lived the Viet Nam War (WW 2 witnesses are mostly gone, same with the Korean War), should start the protests and get the conversation going.
Not buying it. They are in their '70's, and many have residual issues and damage . How 'bout these sorry losers start carrying some water themselves, and stop looking for someone else to take the first bullet. I'm sick and tired of all of the people who are afraid to stick their head above the parapet. Too many of the people I've forwarded truth articles and podcasts to for 18 years who never. acknowledge anything I send so they will have plausible deniability if the thought police show up at their door. I like the color yellow , but not for the same reasons these people do.
Many young people today have been pansy-fied. They're soft, self absorbed to the point of almost useless. I've noticed, as I shop, that many of them never speak, never look me in the eye. It's like they're afraid.
This was an offshoot of the radical feminism that vilified "toxic" masculinity. And the parenting mindset of the baby boom generation protecting their kids from their own shadows.
Mommy and Daddy won't let them go, lest they get a boo-boo. They don't respect their mommy and daddy, let alone the country they reside in, they've never had to do without or do as told, therefore they don't fear having to do anything against their will now.
Please forewarn readers of incoming rants ;-)
Can you believe the Dems are the party of war now? SMDH. No protests in the streets, on the Golden Gate Bridge, nada, nothing.
They always have been the party of war, the party of racism and misogyny, abortion. The party that started and funded the KKK, Jim Crow Laws. The party that now finds Antifa, BLM, CRT, mutilation of children. Always.
Aren't the Republicans also a party of war? Haven't they sent billions to Israel to continue their war in Gaza? But that's not really a war; it's a slaughter, a mass genocide of civilians.
Who's war? Started by terrorists slaughtering innocent people. Terrorists who hide weapons and soldiers in and around hospitals and schools. Obviously those terrorists don't care about the lives of those in the area they are hiding. Aren't there still hostages, at least one American? But blame Republicans because Israel is fighting back.
You have NO idea what is really going on. Don't you even ask yourself why ICC issued an arrest warrant for Netanyahu? It's for the mass murder of innocent civilians. How are old men, women, and children, without any weapons, a threat to Israel? Yet IDF has murdered up to 200,000 or more of these innocents. I'm not talking about Hamas soldiers. No, innocent civilians. Go read some real news besides whatever biased FAKE news you read. You won't find real news about this on C&C.
Are you saying that Israel started the war? Or that the people slaughtered by hamas had weapons and were threatening hamas?
Or that hamas doesn't hide weapons near those innocent civilians? Please share your sources, I'd like to read more about it.
The Dems are the party of death and destruction.
in that case attack those who engineered the false flag. with laughter, mockery, song, op-eds. never guns which is exactly what they are hoping for.

I met a WWI veteran (that's not a typo - he was in the First World War) who said that he was the only one who had a Bible on the ship of men headed to the front lines in Europe. He quickly became very popular. He was quite an amazing man. If I recall correctly, he was over 100 years old at the time I met him. He still lived in his own home. His military occupation was to carry artillery to the front lines in a horse drawn wagon. The life expectancy for his MO was very short but God protected him. At the time I met him, he was still participating in Bible study.
Incredible story for an incredible veteran, thank you Robin, wow. I will restack this
I really wish I could remember his name. His daughter was so sweet. She would prepare meals for him to keep in his freezer so he could continue to live independently. I am so thankful for the times I have been able to meet such incredible people.
How amazing. Great example for other children to live by. :)
You remember his heart, and that’s more important than his name. Thank you for sharing. ❤️

My Grandfather shipped from NY harbor to France in October 1918.
Fortunately, the war ended 2-3 weeks after he arrived at a French field hospital.
My first marriage eons ago was performed by a wwi veteran, a chaplain then, and our senior pastor at the time. I’m pretty sure he was close that age when he married us.
Amazing. Reminds me of the consciencious objector who went to war and saved many men. Hacksaw Ridge?
Both of my English grandparents fought in WWI.
What an incredible heritage!
Now that's a veteran you can REALLY thank for his service!
By the way J.R.R. Tolkien was a veteran of the First World War. At the Somme IIRC.
We went there ~20 year ago. Very sobering. Huge granite monoliths lined up side by side , with names on both sides. Brits fired artillery non stop for a week, but since the Germans were hunkered down deep in their bunkers, it did nothing. First day over the top, 20K Brits were mowed down. Day 1. Months to go. And BTW, there was a second Battle of the Somme later.
Yeah Hahaha.....the fear of God will find you somehow.
Good start for a Saturday morning. Danka
Amen. May GOD have mercy on us all.
He HAS! INDEED HE HAS! 🙌🏼🙌🏼
May He and He has.
I’m stealing this! If I did bumper stickers I would display this.
Good one.
Did you know that Mexico fluoridates its table salt-my guess is because people don’t drink the tap water. I even saw a bag of sea salt that had fluoride added 😱
Did not know that, wow.
Read the back of any toothpaste package and they call it a poison to be remedied, if too much is swallowed, by contacting your local poison control center immediately.
See thats the thing: they ALWAYS tell us what they are doing in the small print so they can mitigate bad karma. “Well, we did tell them, it’s their fault for not doing their due diligence.” Goes their warped thinking.
What the big print giveth
The small print taketh away.
I filter my tapwater and I use fluoride-free toothpaste.
Just fyi, filtering does not remove fluoride, only RO does.
you can buy special flouride filters, even for your shower.
Some filters remove fluoride but it takes looking intentionally for one that does. We own one.
We recently installed a reverse osmosis system. Was cheaper & easier than I thought. Nice no to go through the bottled water like, well water🙂
The only issue with RO filtration systems, for every gallon of clean water it uses a few gallons in the filtration process. That is as they say, ‘water down the drain’ that you have paid for. (Unless you’re on a well I suppose.)
We solved that problem by running a small water line through the garage, into a 100 gallon water storage tank (which we got at a farm supply place) that’s on outside wall of the garage. The tank is elevated on a stand we had fabricated by a local welder. We put a spigot on the tank with an overflow valve on the top. We have a long hose connected to the spigot.
When the tank gets full, the overflow valve drips and we just run the hose to outlying shrubs and trees in our yard use that water. The water is gravity fed and the tank empties out.
So no water is wasted.
We live in a large metro city in SoCA, not a rural property.
It can be done.
Florida law removes fluoride.
So the filtering of our well water to make it palatable and safe is now a priority. But I live in Florida, so I guess the fluoride point is moot. But I still find it an easing of concern to be using the aquifer water made safe. No one can poison that.
Where do you buy it and is it more expensive?
All health food stores carry it. I buy Xyli White with xylitol by NOW. Look up xylitol....it's great stuff.
Haven't used fluoride in decades, not even at the dentist.
Warning: xylitol is toxic to dogs!!!!
Try Hello toothpaste. Flouride free, nice and minty.
I have a tube of Hello toothpaste. It has fluoride.
Dr Bronners, Tom's of Maine etc
Toms of Maine uses sodium
lauryl sulfates in its toothpastes. It’s a known carcinogen. SLS is in a lot of body care products! Another reason to ‘Read the Labels’!
I think Toms just had a big recall.

Fluoride blocks iodine. Fluoride lowers intelligence. Fluoride is a waste product of the aluminum industry. Fluoride is not a nutrient of any kind.
I bought a water distiller from Walmart for under $100. Five years ago and I just distill all my water.
Do you add any minerals back into your water? We have an RO system, and I go back-and-forth about whether my diet covers all the minerals the system took out.
That. ‘What the big print giveth, the small print take to away’. 😂🤣
https://health.howstuffworks.com/wellness/oral-care/kids/what-if-child-eats-fluoride-toothpaste.htm
This article…. Full of contradictions
What the big print giveth,
The small print taketh away.
Love it. Quite true.
Only it does the opposite: it doubles the bad karma.
No such thing as karma.
Just like Vitamin D - look at your supplement ingredient - Cholecalciferol is a poison. Google it. Highly toxic. Same ingredient as is in rat poison. Do NOT take my word for it. Look it up yourself!
This is an interesting article on toothpaste & care. I use the recommended toothpaste Himalaya & really like it. If it can reduce the teeth cleaning experience, I’m all for it. The info on xlylitol was especially interesting. I use the xclear nosespray that also contains it. https://deeprootsathome.com/can-xylitol-help-you-skip-dental-cleanings/
Sadly, and ridiculously, most standard table salt also contains sugar. Read the label. More insanity!
Iodized salt is what you want to use.
Not Morton’s. Dextrose, not glucose, but still…
Dextrose is sugar.
If your dentist prescribes special fluoride toothpaste, one of the instructions is "do not swallow"
There is fluoride found in nature which may be different.
Not really. There's this story:
https://www.yahoo.com/news/too-much-tea-causes-unusual-bone-disease-222359924.html
The tea plant takes fluoride up into its leaves. Evidently, tea also has a lot of oxalic acid and there's a later story of a man who drank so much it destroyed his kidneys.
Yeah, I am a tea drinker. I'd be very happy to have no fluoride in my water since some is already in my tea.
Japanese tea produced in Japan has the lowest amount of fluoride. White tea has negligible amounts, green tea more. Black tea from anywhere and teas from China have the highest amounts of fluoride because the tea plant absorbs fluoride from the air. Japanese eat tons of seaweed, which is full of natural iodine and mitigates the extra fluoride ingested by tea. Best to get a good fluoride and chlorine filter for your water, drink only tea produced in Japan (Ito-En is a good brand), eat seaweed (you can get it in supplement form), and take a drop or two of Lugol's potassium iodide every day. Also, don't eat commercially produced bread; they put bromide in it (instead of iodine as in the old days) which blocks iodine uptake to your thyroid. IMHO, these are the reasons in the US that lead to obesity, on top of the impact on one's IQ. And there's no need to buy toothpaste: brush your teeth with with a pinch of baking soda and real sea salt. You can add a sprinkle of xylitol on that, too, for good dental health and taste, if you like. Thank you, Dr. Ladapo!
King Arthur has always made a point of its flour being "never bromated". Course, being subject to glyphosate for hurrying the harvest is another matter.
I buy flour from a small company out of Minnesota called Sunrise Flour Mill. Their wheat is a heritage wheat that is grown without pesticides, non-gmo, etc. They don't bromate it. It's ground by a mill from the 30s. Around 2011 I stopped being able to eat commercial flour. Thought I had suddenly became gluten intolerant. Fast forward to a few years ago, I found this company. It was founded by someone who had the some of the same health issues as I did. Realized he could go to Europe and eat all the bread he wanted. He started looking into how wheat is produced here and wanted a healthier alternative. I use their flour to make everything from scratch and I have to issues. If I accidentally eat something commercially baked I get so sick.
Probably why so many on Thyroid meds!! Like me!! I hate this crap! I love bread! O have cut down but geez j in breed to buy a bread machine!! My hands just won’t knees anymore!! I’m so thankful we are all still even alive after what we learn!!
I have been using einkorn, and just finished a bag of spelt. Both have less gluten than hard red wheat, and so want less kneading. I never considered self or husband to have any gluten issues, but I note that when I bake biscuits with either of these, eating several biscuits results in a very comfortable tummy, rather than a heavy, stuffed feeling.
Also--I took courage in hand at end of December, and every two months cut back another 10% of levothyroxine. At this point I am taking just 1/2 tablet twice a week. Curiously, while noting no discouraging side effects, I find I have energy that I last had 30 years ago. None of the signs of "hypothyroidism" apply.
Also--someone on Substack (Remnant MD or A Mid-Western Dr most likely) that over time, Pharma narrows the window for being hypo or hyper whatever. So more people fit into the group. = more drugs sold.
Susan, there are lots of NO—KNEAD bread recipes on you-tube. JUST STIR IT.
It’s incredibly easy to make your own bread. You just have to do it the day before so that it can have time to rise.
Always very delicious with a big pat of butter !
Susan, you should be eating only organically grown unbleached flours.
That'll do the trick.
Also on thyroid meds for yrs but switched to Armor yrs ago. Functional medicine dr just suggested daily Iodoral to up some thyroid level (i forget) and possibly get me off ridiculous thyroid meds completely. Maybe discuss with your dr. Good luck!
I hadn't known that tea could absorb fluoride through the air but yes, it does:
https://www.maxapress.com/article/doi/10.48130/bpr-0024-0010
You should try to make sure that you get seaweed from clean waters.

To add another layer:
After the tsunami > Fukushima meltdown in 2011 and knowing ocean currents are quite the dynamic circulatory system, in the northern hemisphere from Asia toward Alaska, south along the N American west coast toward the equator and west back toward Asia - in the southern hemisphere the direction is reversed, "counter clockwise" circulation; not sure about the rumored reversal of circulation in flushing toilets🤷♀️- I figured it best to find another source of seaweed than that of the circulating waters of the Pacific despite that harvesters and distributors from Pacific waters anywhere, Asia or Americas, claimed their findings that their products were tested and safe. I didn't invest in a Geiger counter to verify. Not worth it. My plan was/is avoidance.
For anyone interested, a seaweed source from the American near North Atlantic: https://seaveg.com/ They have the real deal (many varieties) dehydrated, from full leaf to flakes to powdered, and also a couple of encapsulated supplements.
Never had health issues leading me to seek out seaweed, still don't, just naturally gravitated toward it as a food, inspired by Asian cuisine, especially the island nations - surrounded by water! The more I learned about this food source, the greater my gratitude to God and angels for inspiring me to follow their whispers.
Threadwinner for suggesting baking soda for brushing teeth.
Pro tip: you don't need to add salt.
It can't be beaten. Dentists don't want you to know this because it eats into their projected revenue based on all those twice-yearly cleanings and treatments for gum disease.
I can barely stand the taste though. Tastes better with a little salt.
Celtic salt has minerals, so may be good for brushing teeth. I use spring water to brush my teeth.
As I recall (check out yourself of course) White tea has low fluoride concentrations.
White tea - low fluoride AND no flavor!
Tannins in the tea can also make a person anemic.
Yes! My husband & his family lived in West Texas for a few years where naturally occurring fluoride (different from what is added to water elsewhere) was plentiful in the water. None of them had cavities until very late in life. It did cause slight discoloration of their teeth, but cavities, gingivitis, etc, did not affect any of them.
Wasn't the idea to dump fluoride on the populace, instead of going to toxic waste dumps, that of Eddie Bernays?
That would fit, the father of propaganda likely knew his manipulation tactics would be even more potent over a dumbed down populace with calcified pineal glands. If true, That psychopath thought of everything.
Seriously. That's all they can do, since they can't feel anything, all the life force goes to the maniacal mental power. A good documentary on Bernays and mind control of the masses is Century of the Self on YT.
On the Highwire awhile back, Jeffrey Jaxen interviewed the main attorney on the anti-fluoride case. He goes into the history and as I recall this was largely the work of one man who knew better but lied. I can't remember the details at this point but it was a good interview and well worth a listen.
Thank you Mimi for sharing - it's appalling.. Apparently eating lots of iodine-rich foods will help flush the fluoride out.
I did not know that. Also interesting that bread conditioners lower iodine levels which affects the Thyroid Gland. And bread is at the base of the food pyramid. It seems our "Health" Department is anything but for health
I keep this link handy to show people who only watch legacy media. It is an incredible interview and describes how THEY KNEW it would cause harm and they did it anyway and buried it.
https://rumble.com/v5l74ye-expert-attorney-exposes-decades-of-fluoride-harms.html
McDonalds admitted they knew they had badly burned at least 750 ppl before they were sued.
But they made more money by overheating it to prevent refills. So ....
Yes, that's the interview I was referring to. It's also available at The Highwire website.
Advertising and propaganda techniques are "lesser magick," clothed as "social science." Add to these techniques the use of chemicals, and it's sorcery. Witchcraft. These things were taught by the angels who sinned, referenced by Peter and Jude.
Those who know the Truth and follow Christ Jesus and do not fear death, can now testify to those who fear death, and oppress. Soon enough, that testimony will be against them and not to them.
There will be no excuses before a Holy God.
Hear hear!
This is what i meant Tom, your comments are among the best.
Speaking of lesser magic, to anyone interested, predictive programming in movies, news, and television are also forms of this known as ‘revelation of the method’. This technique softens up the target to accept what is coming with less resistance than they would otherwise. If interested in this subject, watch the following (quite) unsettling 4min video, then check the description for 20+ more examples:
Smart Mark Zombies - 5G Predictive Programming in 2018 Children's Netflix Cartoon Stretch Armstrong: https://old.bitchute.com/video/YBcjtl5s2HRG
Once you can see it clearly, This stuff is incredibly fascinating, and eventually sticks out like a sore thumb (our society is saturated with it)
OMG!!! This is EVIL beyond the pale!!!!
I have tried to educate people on predictive programming and receive the "are you INSANE" look! I had someone tell me that he knows the truth and would not be manipulated. He's a big fan of Harry Potter.
SO many examples of predictive programming that goes back to the advent of TV. Hollywood has "influenced" the masses to do all kinds of things. Hair styles, clothes, fast food, alcohol consumption, Big Pharma, aliens, pandemics, adultery, murderers getting away with murder! Even in the 50's families only had one, maybe two children. Remember when parents slept in separate twin beds? Not no more! More recently, kids in movies are dropping f-bombs to their parents who do NOTHING in response!
Geez, I have to go do something fun now.
In separate twin beds? Can you be serious? I thought that was just in The Dick van Dyke Show, because of the ’60s censorship…
The feeling is mutual! You're always on point, TriTorch!
Ephesians 5:11 (ESV)
"Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them."
That and many other toxins we find in our daily products. Great business model ain't it!? It will be interesting to see how this all plays out - an admin with Kennedy in it, who wants clean air and water, with others who think we need no regulations. Look at what these companies have already done to poison us when we supposedly have regulations that are "burdensome."
Amen. Let the old men & women advocating for war fight their own battles. That might shut them up.
Fluoride is a NEUROTOXIN. What do you think is happening when you give that to your children?
People don’t think, that the crux of it. Daddy gov says it’s good and daddy gov would never lie so its good. QED
The bigger the government grows the less people feel they are responsible for their own lives. This fresh convenience frees up more time to watch and be manipulated further by their idiot box television on how great daddy gov is.
Big Gov = Less research more R&R to these sheep
Its a vicious cycle.
True that! I have a personal beef with fluoride because as a child, though sub-clinical, I was fluoride injured. It's worst effect is on the brain. I made sure to raise my two babies with no exposure to fluoride and as a result they are both "at the top of the class" mentally. I have no doubts that the massive fluoride contamination of our youth has effectively degraded the mental abilities of today's American children and young adults.
Seriously Phil. My mom had my teeth given flouride treatment several times. But I make sure my kids toothpaste has zero flouride and I haven’t even taken her to the dentist!!!!
When buying my bottled water (I know, silly me) for my Keurig (more horror) I noticed gallon jugs of "Nursery Water" with FLUORIDE ADDED for your babies & kiddos! 😞😞😞
Most bottled water has (unlabeled) found added. Need to go on the internet to find out which ones
If only the anti war movement of the 70s had been this articulately intelligent. The best they could come up with was ‘MAKE LOVE NOT WAR’. But alas, they actually knew nothing of love or war.
When you say ‘they’ sold fluoride to municipalities - who exactly are ‘they’? I truly want to know who it is.
Good question Cathleen. Here is some information:
Journalist Christopher Bryson claims in his new book “The Fluoride Deception” that the post-war campaign to fluoridate drinking water was less a public health innovation than a public relations ploy sponsored by industrial users of fluoride–including the government’s nuclear weapons program.[includes transcript]
Hailed as a harmless chemical that would prevent tooth decay, new evidence shows how fluoride could be linked to serious health problems.
Fluoridation was first advanced in the US at the end of the second World War. Proponents argued that fluoride in water and toothpaste would help to protect teeth and prevent decay. Over the following decades, fluoride was added to public water supplies across the country.
While the benefits of fluoridation have been held to be unquestionable, accumulating evidence points to a frightening prospect: that fluoride may have serious adverse health effects, including infant mortality, congenital defects and IQ.
Now a new book, titled “The Fluoride Deception” by Christopher Bryson examines the background of the fluoridation debate. According to Bryson, research challenging fluoride’s safety was either suppressed or not conducted in the first place. He says fluoridation is a triumph not of medical science but of US government spin.

Grab that thread and keep pulling and you will find your answer.
I keep thinking don’t these people and their families drink water too?? I mean they are OK with poisoning there own kids?! Same for chem trail pilots. 😡
They probably don't drink the water. King Charles ensures the pedigree of all his food and if I recall correctly, the places it is sourced from are those where chemtrails are not being sprayed.
Not sure about the Pilots as that is one that really irritates me. During March/April of COVID, the skies were beautifully clear with puffy white clouds. Typically, these type of agents are arrogant and the security clearance helps then think they know more than the next guy. Plus, you can't 'see' the tangible effects of the damage they are wreaking because it is a slow burn of the soil health and all our food 'looks' good.
🤬😡😠🤬😡😠🤬😡😠
But the chem trails blow upon the prevailing winds. I do not think there is anywhere to grow stuff that is not untouched by these. Man cannot control as much as they want us to believe...
King Charles has cancer anyhow.
So they say
I read HRC always travelled with her own food
Wow. That could also be because most people would like to off her! ;)
I 'heard' that the pilots of those planes are plucked from the military. They are the ones with issues, no families etc. And they only fly for 18 months then they are sent away with a nice pension and probably an NDA+. Now if there was some way DOGE and 47 could make null and void all the NDA's between government and citizens? I don't think there is anything about those in the Constitution. Fair Game!
Grr, well that would make sense. Probably problem pilots who didn't cut the mustard. I sure hope there are no 'safe keeping' for these CRIMINALS! I have hope but I have also seen things never change.
That need for a campaign to prevent tooth decay couldn't possibly be related to increased sugar consumption.....
What I don’t understand is how they got away with it for so many years. One of the foundational tenets of medicine is the right to informed consent. Your doctor can’t give you a drug without informing you of its potential dangers. Or he sure the hell shouldn’t, because you could have his license. Likewise, fluoride is a prescription-only drug that municipalities all over the country have been adding to the water supply without the informed consent of their constituents. How could this legally have been possible? Last I looked, there were no physicians on my local municipality prescribing the drug to be added to municipal water, and certainly not offering informed consent to the constituents who drink that water. Seems to me, there ought to be a lot of bureaucrats either in jail, or paying through the nose for what they’ve done…
THERE YOU ARE, T.T. - SO GLAD to see you posting on C & C "army blog" once again--the battle belongs to the LORD JESUS CHRIST and we are his LOYAL 'SOLDIERS'!!
SHALOM, friends!!
Thanks Sharon, good to be back soldiering on in Christ's name!
War is evil -unless it is personal self-defense.
Great quotes. Sassoon wrote some powerful books. As Mohammad Ali said when he refused to be drafted., 'Those Viet Cong never did nothing to me".
Perhaps that is the point. There’s always something in play killing the young men in the western world. Got to keep that group under control with weakness, disability/illness and death.
The war was planned- it will give Trump an opening to do something bad, and also keep his cover and get Americans on board with it. Same old nonsense.
Fluoride is in all the food irrigated with fluoridated water and every bottle of water on the shelf since they do nothing to get it out. The only water without fluoride is RO (reverse osmosis) and distilled and distilled is questionable since distillation is a costly process. Everything edible made in the US that contains water, has fluoride in it. It's ubiquitous.....rather like glyphosate, which is found in 75+% of rain water on the planet.
Not true. There are many bottled waters that do not have fluoride, but you need to go on th internet to see which ones,. They also list the test results
Do those non-fluoride bottled waters also have no plastic in them?
That is an entirely different question, with an obvious answer
Fluoride and plastic have in common the pesky question of health.
I am very much aware of that. Time and space won't allow for listing all of the literally thousands of things the khazarian mafia has put into our food, air , and water to deliberately poison us.
On point.

Wonderful commentary of hell on earth and who owns it. Many accept the four elements of fire, earth, air and water but too few recognize the fifth, the soul (or spirit).
Behold, the eye of Yahweh is on those who fear Him,
On those who wait for His lovingkindness,
To deliver their soul from death
And to keep them alive in famine.
Our soul is patient for Yahweh;
He is our help and our shield.
For our heart is glad in Him,
Because we trust in His holy name.
Let Your lovingkindness, O Yahweh, be upon us,
As we wait for You.
— Psalm 33:18-22 LSB
I'm thankful that the commenter "Peace" took the time to tell me how to report spam. lol
Those three little dots to the right...
I love clicking on them and typing in the word "spam" and sending my report in.
Notice how they change the name, it’s always a woman’s name, singular, and they copy all our best people? Janice, right under our Janice. Nice.
So clever. I almost fell for it. 😂
I did the same.
I always report it too. But they don’t seem to get removed.
Info used and reported.
thank you for that info
Thank you Anita--I use the 3 dots very often to correct my comments--hadn't noticed the reporting (Tattling?) option but have just now used it for Kimberly/Janice/whoever.
I do wish they'd change the name to "tattle" - that sounds much more satisfying than "report" :)
Oh PLEASE... sheese!
Good grief! You’re a useless bot! Go away.
I realized something this morning about why God allowed the events and suffering of the past four years, when Americans have faced confusion, frustration, and heartbreak as our nation navigated unprecedented challenges. It can be hard to understand why God allows such hardships, but perhaps there is a greater purpose at work (Romans 8:28) —one that points us toward renewal, accountability, and hope for the future.
What if these struggles were meant to reveal the moral and spiritual crossroads we face as a country? The challenges have shown us the depth of our need for reflection and change. We’ve seen how corruption and bureaucracy can stifle justice, how divisive tactics can harm unity, and how drifting away from foundational values can lead to instability. These eye-opening experiences have served as a wake-up call—a call to action, a call to faith, and a call to return to the principles of truth, justice, and freedom.
If these years of hardship had not occurred, would we have truly seen the urgency to stand up for what matters? Perhaps God allowed this season to strengthen our resolve, to bring us closer to Him, and to remind us that no matter how dark the times, redemption is always possible. As painful as it may be, it is often through adversity that we are shaped and refined.
Now, more than ever, Americans are engaging in important conversations about faith, freedom, and justice. People are stepping forward to protect the values of life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness for future generations. This isn’t just about political change—it’s about a deeper awakening, one that challenges us to build a society rooted in integrity, compassion, and faith.
The good news is this: it is not too late to make a difference. Together, we can restore hope, renew our commitment to what is right, and move forward with unity and courage. Let us take this opportunity to reaffirm our reliance on Christ, to stand for the truth, and to rebuild a nation that reflects the ideals of its founding—a nation where justice, faith, and freedom reign.
Our struggles do not define us; our response to them does. And with faith, we can trust that God’s plan will lead us to a brighter, stronger future.
I’m sure I would not have seen it. I then opened my eyes and ears and allowed God to give me the information I needed. The more I saw of truth, the more truth our merciful God gave me. A closed mind, certain of their righteousness, will not open that door.
Psalm 119:71 It is good for me that I was afflicted, That I may learn Your statutes.
Many have pointed this out. Mike Lindell is fond of saying, "If it hadn't gotten this bad, we wouldn't have known how bad it was."
Yep! And then you realize God is sovereign and Joe Biden being president was part of His plan. Once I internalized that, It was easier for me to accept the stolen election of 2020.
I have held thoughts along the same line: that had the Democrats--and their globalist allies or handlers--- not STOLEN the 2020 election, we would never have realized how utterly evil they are. Yes, I use "utterly evil' on purpose. And Mr. Trump would have wasted his term fighting them.
The COVID experience revealed the rot & created a clarion call.
This is true.
I agree
This has been the plan that was laid out, as told by some of the people I follow.
💯‼️💯‼️💯‼️
I still would prefer to see executions for treason. Unfortunately I don’t have too much of a forgiving heart any longer. Just being honest.
I don’t agree with executions, in the plural, but I think just one very meaningful and symbolic one with long prison sentences for his followers.
Ok maybe two because I can’t decide between Gates and Fauci 😆
Treason is treason. Death to follow.
Mark Milley
BOTH are traitors and MASS MURDERERS.... let them HANG!!!
Exactly. I am feeling pretty grateful today. :)
“ I suggest to you that it is because God loves us that he gives us the gift of suffering. Pain is God's megaphone to rouse a deaf world. You see, we are like blocks of stone out of which the Sculptor carves the forms of men. The blows of his chisel, which hurt us so much are what make us perfect.”
C. S. Lewis
Wow!
God showed us what was wrong and what we were (and still are) called on to do. That he gave us this chance is another example of His love for us.
MERCY MERCY MERCY ... SWEET UNDESERVING MERCY!
As I read through the book of judges I get it. It is a big circle
And Exodus too!
Renea, I've been thinking about studying Judges. I'm going to try Stephen Armstrong's study in the Verse-by-Verse app, which is phenomenal by the way. Thank you!
Thanks for that reference, I’m reading the Bible from beginning to end (only my second time doing this). I’m on Deuteronomy now, and will be to Judges in the not too distant future.
Debra was a MOST interesting woman... I'd love to have a long conversation with her in heaven one day...
I listened to his Revelation study during the summer to prepare for the Revelation bible study that BSF is presently facilitating. Gathered much insight...
Oh cool! When I study, I usually read a chapter one day and then read the commentary the next and write down notes if I feel less to. I have almost the who set of j Vernon McGee's commentaries. I don't always agree with him but he does a good job. I am only to chapter 6 right now. It has been a few years since I studied judges. Probably closer to 10 years yikes.
This!
You can’t recognize the light until you’ve lived in darkness. Likewise, you’ll never know joy until you’ve experienced profound despair…
Yes! My friends and I believe these last four years have been used to wake us up.
So spot on! 🎯
In the context of an eternal soul, the infinitesimally short duration of corporeal suffering is nothing. At least that's how I think of it...
Susie, you have an amazing way with birds. I totally agree. If we had not suffered, these last four years peoples eyes would not have been opened and their hearts would not have been opened. God has a purpose. Have faith.
Beautifully said! 🛐✝️💟
Judge Merchan conducted a show trial in a kangaroo court. Never forget his daughter Loren raked in millions consulting for Kamala and many Democrat campaigns. Her wedding photos are pure cringe: https://yuribezmenov.substack.com/p/how-to-conduct-a-show-trial-merchan
She looks like a man.
Dylan's brother?
EXACTLY! Right down to the smirking smile...
I truly pity any children conceived in that union. They will be proudly aborted, or if allowed to live, gleefully transed, or poisoned and indoctrinated with leftist lies in a woke bubble. At best they will be nothing more than an accessory to narcissistic parents.
The groom holding the flowers… 🤮 and why do they have surprised face in every selfie?
It's like they grew up in a photo booth.
The wedding pic looks like a proof of life pic for the groom. That pose? I think it is signaling a bunch of stuff.
Hey buddy I see you got my DM, thanks for reading it. Anything you can do to raise awareness will be very helpful 👍
Jim Jordan went after Garland on this matter during the hearing ( Tues?Weds? ). Garland, of course, kept trying to skate away; Jordan kept attacking.
And they have this to hold over his head for four years. Not at all happy about that. Do you think that corrupt piece of human excrement did this because he woke up? No, there are other plans afoot.
This is a great link, Yuri. I love the panel of photos of leaders who have had their political opponents arrested. Priceless.
Pure cringe is right! This pic in your piece YB says it all about the white dudes for Harris ,or in this case Harris sycophants : “The body language in her profile photo is astounding - have you ever seen the groom holding the flowers while being held by the bride?”
Will he be disbarred at some point? I keep thinking that guy needs to be held accountable somehow. Judges are not expect from the law either and what he did to Trump was shameful and he ignored the law and twisted it to fit his agenda. I’m waiting for accountability for all these criminals but can we hold him accountable too? Otherwise he waits 4 years and then decides to send Trump to prison. How do we stop THAT?!
Exactly!!!!
"Elected representatives come and go, performatively figure-skating across a peaceful frozen lake, while all the real business of government frantically transacts in the churning, sunless waters concealed below the icy surface."
A beautifully written piece of prose.
Unfortunately, some elected officials don't go! Pelosi, Schumer, Biden, McConnell, etc, etc
Term limits!!!
YES!!
Absolutely!
But wear goggles if you decide to look down there!
Completely agree, that section has been rolling around in my subconscious since I read it.
The Lord Jesus is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, would be smart to follow Him closely!
“Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war. His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. He had a name written that no one knew except Himself. He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. And the armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses. Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.”
Revelation 19:11-16 NKJV
https://bible.com/bible/114/rev.19.12-16.NKJV
Both Ed's and Janice's posts this morning are obviously in sync with the Holy Spirit and apropos to the subject of my comments concerning the possibilities of WWIII.
Phill WW3 it’s called Armageddon, it will happen when Israel gets sorrounded by nations that will back up Satan’s manifesting power called “The antichrist”. I don’t mean not to be concerned about the latest coming from Ukraine, but to pray shooting missiles of interceding prayers against the evil in those nations!
But get ready Jesus is coming first for His bride!
MARANATHA!!!! This is NOT the second coming, because He will not step down on earth, He will call His bride from the clouds (like electromagnetism, we will be pull up, if the Spirit of God is in you).
Get ready JESUS IS COMING.
I can hardly wait! Our redemption is indeed drawing closer! Come, Lord Jesus!
And each person is one day closer to eternity with each day that passes. 2 Corinthians 6:2...Behold, now is “the acceptable time,” behold, now is “the day of salvation”—
So... since everyone here is happily anticipating "Armageddon", I guess that means we should not be praying for peace?
My response was simply indicating that each person has a limited number of days without regard to any other circumstances. No one knows which day will be his last. The question each person must ask is, "Am I prepared for eternity? Will I stand in judgment or will I stand in Christ's righteousness?"
That's one of those things that I personally think about a lot. I have come to the conclusion it will be a long and painful road but in the end," Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven". One either believes in the Word or one doesn't. ❤️🙏 So to me, praying for peace is not futile, it's praying for the fulfillment of
prophecy sooner rather than later.
Praying for the day the last Gentile comes to Jesus!
Dr. Art Wolinsky is praying for the day the last Jew comes to Jesus. He believes that is requisite to the Second Coming.
Hmm, I understood it being the last Gentile since we are in the time of the Gentiles and then it returns to the day of the Jewish. The 7 years. I will relook. :)
There is a very interesting history to the Rapture doctrine. First, it was never espoused or even mentioned in the early first-century Church—those who personally KNEW and followed the Primary Source “Document” of the Faith (Jesus). Nor did the Church ever espouse or mention this doctrine for the next 18 CENTURIES. The Rapture doctrine was invented in the 1830s by a man of questionable character named John Nelson Darby, who was a wealthy Irish aristocrat and the leader of a cult called “The Exclusive Brethren,” a cult which in turn gave rise to one of the most notorious figures of modern history, Freemason and black magic occultist Aleister Crowley. John Nelson Darby published an English “translation” of the Bible which is full of occult language, and which in turn gave rise to Cyrus Scofield’s “translation,” also full of occult language and bearing one of the most important Freemason symbols on its very cover, the Point Within a Circle. Darby was also the inventor of the false doctrine of Dispensationalism, and a mean-spirited, verbally abusive bully of other church leaders who dared to disagree with him. As Jesus said in Matthew 7:18, “A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.”
Thank you! On numerous occasions, I have addressed this 'doctrine' directly from the Text relying mostly on what Jesus said in the Gospels but it always seems to fall on deaf ears. The dispensational indoctrination prevents people from considering the plain meaning of His words or, really, any other interpretation other than the "system" of interpretation they have been taught their whole life.
https://open.substack.com/pub/coffeeandcovid/p/doge-opoly-saturday-november-23-2024?r=u78oh&utm_campaign=comment-list-share-cta&utm_medium=web&comments=true&commentId=78551338
To extend your comment a bit further, I would ask, why is it that today's church has no impact in today's culture or society? It is because the church, following Crowley, Darby and Scofield, has withdrawn from society in the belief that "the world belongs to Satan" and as a result the church is no longer leaven to the society nor is the church salt to society? And this is exactly the condition we find the church in today. If anyone wants to understand how America got to where we are today, let them begin with the fact that for nearly 200 years the church has abandon her duty to be leaven and salt in society by prophetically speaking God's Law to society. Instead, the church sits in their pews each Sunday listening to how Satan rules the world and listening to titillating sermons about the end of the world and their escape via The Rapture. What did the Lord say about salt that has lost it's flavor?
I think it’s because Christians have been taught that they don’t need to follow YHWH’s commandments in the Torah. If you don’t follow God’s commandments, then you behave just like the rest of the world. There are billions of good people in the world who aren’t Christians, but they have a good moral code and they don’t murder, they don’t lie or steal, they don’t commit adultery, and they love their neighbors. You don’t have to be a Christian to do those things, so if that’s what Christians think sets them apart from the world, they are sorely mistaken. In that regard, there is no difference between Christians and the rest of the world.
God implores us to be holy, set apart for a sanctified purpose. Christians aren’t set apart. They look, sound, eat and act pretty much like everybody else. That’s why they have no impact on culture or society. They can talk about Jesus until they’re blue in the face, but if they act and live like everybody else, nobody will notice that they’re different.
But if they obeyed the Torah, they would look WAY different to the world. They would not do things the way the world does them. They would not be getting tattoos, vaccines, blood transfusions or organ transplants. They would not be having pre-marital sex or any kind of sex outside of marriage. They would dress modestly. They would celebrate the Feasts of YHWH and not the pagan holidays celebrated by the world. They wouldn’t be eating pork, shellfish, shark meat, catfish or rabbit meat. They would not be eating out at restaurants, unless the restaurant specifically serves kosher food, because it is impossible to know whether restaurants are using completely kosher ingredients. They wouldn’t be sending their children to public schools or universities, because the teaching of children is specifically reserved to parents and not pagans. And they probably wouldn’t have televisions in their homes, and their children would not have access to cell phones or social media.
If Christians lived like THAT, they would probably get more curiosity, notice and respect from the world, much like the respect that the Amish and Quakers get.
When it comes to “reaching” the world, Christians like to quote Paul’s saying that he was, “all things to all people,” but the majority of us aren’t like Paul. And we’re not like the Apostles either. They were specifically commanded by Jesus to go out into the world and make disciples of all nations. Yet very few of them actually left their home territory to take the Gospel to the Gentiles. It was mostly just Paul, Barnabas, Phillip, and Peter a little. Why didn’t the others go out into the world to be missionaries? I would imagine it’s because they had families. They had children. Once you have children, your first God-given priority is raising them, protecting them, and teaching them the ways of God. They are to be your first converts and disciples of Jesus.
Instead, Christians do most things exactly like the pagans do. It’s no wonder society disdains us, or worse, pays us no mind at all.
"Beam me up Scottie!" Sorry, I couldn't resist. It is funny though cause I never got that sense from the Gospels.
There is no Biblical precedent for God’s faithful being removed from danger, only protected from it. Noah and his family were protected in the Ark while the oceans raged. Daniel was protected from the lions in the lion’s den. The Hebrew children were protected from the flames in the fiery furnace. Lot and his family were escorted out of Sodom by angels. Jonah was protected from the storm by being swallowed by a whale. The faithful are always protected while the wicked are taken out. It’s never the faithful who are taken out and the wicked who remain. Even in Jesus’ parable of the wheat and tares, it is the tares that get bundled up and burned while the wheat remains.
The entire rapture narrative collapses when you look at scripture. This rapture event supposedly encompasses the entirety of the body of Christ on earth. The closest analogy I can think of is God's deliverance of the entire population of Israelites from Eygpt. The parallels are obvious. As you said, they were "protected" and the wicked that pursued them were destroyed. We are never taken out of life. We are required to go through it and build something better on the other side but only after learning the hard lesson of repentance from believing in false gods and accepting God's Word/Law as the only standard of life. When Moses broke the tablet of the Ten Words, he demonstrated the lawlessness of the people and their need for repentance. Only the next generation were allowed to enter the promise land.
But even aside from these obvious examples, the dispensational system discounts the meaning of Christ's Ascension to His throne and the establishment of His kingdom over the earth disinheriting Satan of his dominion which was ceded to him by the First Adam in the Fall. What a travesty of doctrinal interpretation and an affront to our Savior and King. This is analogous to the Israelites building an idol to Baal rather than exercising faith in God who was leading them as their King and Deliverer.
The dispensational system of interpretation cannot be reconciled with Scripture and their rationalizations are so convoluted no one can understand it. Their explanations always resort to referencing headlines to current events. The commitment of Christians who have been raised in this theology for several generations is based on an emotionalism that transcends the plain logic of Scripture, most especially the statements by Jesus in the Gospels. It is analogous to trying to red pill Americans who have always had faith in the MSM, the political establishment and the efficacy of the medical establishment. It is very hard ground. And I suppose the rapture is a much easier way out than the prospect of working to disciple the nations to Christ's law/word. That's too much work.
Spot on! I didn’t pursue the line of Scripture in my original comment because Christians have heard it before and they simply take the word of their pastor in the pulpit as to its meaning. But most people have no clue about the nefarious history surrounding the false rapture doctrine. So you have to plant seeds in their heads to cause them to look twice at what they believe, and hopefully they will become like the Bereans and “search(ed) the Scriptures daily, (to see) whether those things were so.” Much like Biblical cosmology…😉
Yes, the rapture. The Latin origin (rapturo) means "snatch away" or "catch away," which is quite comforting.
Amen🙏
So... since everyone here is happily anticipating "Armageddon", I guess that means we should not be praying for peace?
Nobody is celebrating; Prayer without ceasing is a command not a choice, and the fact that we know about the future through the lenses of God’s word is not to cross my arms and wait for it but participate actively in the unfolding prophecy’s we are witnessing right now. Blessings
"We know...the future"... you see, there is that assertion I have a bit of trouble with.
He's coming!.....in 10,000 years. Lol
Post mil partial preterism > pre mil dispensationalism
But if Jesus does come back next Thursday, I'm all about it. Maranatha!
Amen! There will be no stopping His divine justice then!!
What a wonderful summary of God, His power and importance.
Amen
Let the good news keep rolling in!!! At this time of Thanksgiving, we are thankful for Jeff, his family, and the C &. C army. Be encouraged and celebrate the wins!!
I would love to have an opportunity to speak to Elon Musk. Not sure how to make that happen 😊
Florida's Surgeons General truly is a super star!!! Ahead of the curve! Brilliant! Desantis too, for appointing him! And I love to remind my elected officials in Boston, and at the state house here in Massachusetts, at every opportunity, that Dr. Joseph Ladapo went to Harvard medical school, and then went back and got his Masters in Public Health at Harvard. I just love to remind them of that!! When I pass his opinions along to them. 🙌💫♥️
Dr. Lapado is a hero. I wish he were chosen for a position in Trump's cabinet. He is not owned by the "Pharmaceutical Industrial Complex" and he is courageous in his opposition to their regime. I want to see someone who isn't wishy-washy about medical freedom in a position of influence.
And he's far better than the SG that Trump just picked. She was a masker/vaxxer advocate even pretty recently.
This is trending on X, everyone is very upset about this lady with the scary eyebrows who likes masks. Everyone wants Ben or Ladapo. Trump must be aware of this trending
Yesterday I confessed to being ridiculously giddy about the potential state of our union and Trump’s strategic stacking of the appointments deck…seemingly 15 steps ahead of EVERYONE ALL OF THE TIME. I stand by that. And, like yesterday, I STILL cannot WAIT to see what tomorrow will bring. And I can’t wait to see the dynamic duo DOGE the dysfunctional degenerates running our country…and watching McMahon dismantle the depraved Department of Education will be a delight. It’s an exciting time to be alive!
"DOGE BALL"!
Nice one! I'm keeping that.
@Jeff and readers, I believe y'all are going to love this additional perspective on the types of people Trump is choosing!
https://boriquagato.substack.com/p/dear-washington-dc
About D C. They don't know what's coming!
This was such an inspiring piece to read from El Gato. Praying all his bold predictions come to pass. It certainly gave me a great deal of encouragement and glee.
Nard, I’m as giddy as you, with the exception of Trump’s pick of Dr. Janette Nesheiwat for Surgeon General. I’ve listened to her on FOX and she is too much in line with what the government health agencies claim are best for us, and refers to their sham studies as gospel. Although she does not adhere to mandates which is hopeful.
Well, I'm praying the government health agencies' claims change, and she will have something great to be in line with.
If Surgeon General is a "PR" job as some suggest, then she needs great "gospel" to promote. Hopefully, she will become a solid convert herself, and we'll live to see it.
Praying.
🙏🏼
Yep. She's never met a shot that she disagreed with.
Really not much different than Fauci himself.
"over the course of time, the overwhelmed (if not outright lazy) politicians delegated more and more management responsibility to unelected, partisan bureaucrats, assembling in the process a massive, biased federal bureaucracy that has become an anti-democratic shadow government. Elected representatives come and go, performatively figure-skating across a peaceful frozen lake, while all the real business of government frantically transacts in the churning, sunless waters concealed below the icy surface." Wow. Beautiful description of hell.
"Whenever a particular politician stops skating and tries to peer into a crack in the ice, the pallid finger of the deep state emerges from the frozen waters and pokes them in the eye." Hadn't gotten to this part. 🤣
That was brilliant and hilarious 😂
This is good simple way to remember to tell others. I love metaphors. They help me remember. The job of metaphor. Jeff does this extremely well.
Jeff's metaphors spring from the computer screen like a startled palmetto bug that was caught bypassing parental filters.
😆
Or Atlas Shrugged…which, I suppose, amounts to the same thing.
to disrupt the seemingly perpetual ice or the denizens populating the stagnant waters below will be viewed as destroying the harmonious ecosystem or what is and should always be. To roll back the Progressive Bureaucratic State will be seen by most as an attack upon America itself, or Revolutionary extremism. Those with a larger view of life, liberty, governance, and humanity's options see it as a failed experiment that has constrained and controlled and limited freedoms for the benefit of a clique and to the detriment of the rest of us.
A great book about the massive US govt admin state is titled “Over Ruled” by Neil Gorsuch. Published this year. All the lawfare against trump has been happening for years against individuals and states. We have to cut the thumbs and toes off the leviathan admin state
Yes. I have other body parts in mind though.
Yes. Start there. Weed whacker right in the...
Or as Javier Milei of Argentina indicated ...use a chain saw.
the horribly infected parts that are not salvageable
What's Fauci done running the NIH for decades?
America got sicker under his watch.
That was his goal.
he HAD to be good at something !
Genocide.
Yeah ! he ROCKS that, don't he ?
Long may he swing....
May he burn in Hell forever.
AIDS?
He the Father of Aids, is he not, BFM ?!
what an a-hole he is.
He got richer as we got sicker.
Been getting sicker since the sixties!
Astronomically sicker, he betrayed a great opportunity to help people!
Not just America got sicker; he managed to get the entire world sicker, not to mention deader.
Sicker and deader! He is evil!
💯 by design though. NOT by incompetence.
Is Elon about to buy MSNBC?
🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞The DOGE Network
"This week, we bring you news about the total dismembering of the Dept of Education"
"another brick in the wall" , "leave those kids ALONE!"
I CANNOT WAIT!!
😂
Can't you see it ? " The most up-to-date government closings and reconfigurations, as well as Job Search Help for those 'displaced' "
A daily segment on the ridiculous waste of taxpayer money and then taking a chainsaw to it... there could be a running tally on the costs they cut
I hear Milei of Argentina has a chainsaw available, for just such tasks.
If not, he and others have done a masterful job in trolling MSNBC on X. Don Jr. says he will host a program there dressed as Rachel Maddow.
If he buys it, I propose the new name to be XMSNBC. The X would do double duty as in X platform and EX as in divorced from a toxic platform.
MXNBC fully integrated into X. Sounds like a great move to me.
It's a single network. Deep state still owns all the others.
Unless you're referring to social media, where twitter is magnitudes smaller than Facebook.
No monopoly detected.
One of the things that makes our side so ineffective is their almost autistic-like unidimensional thinking. They don't comprehend that good is better than bad, even if it's not perfect. They don't get that things don't change instantly but incrementally. Rather than be happy that X is infinitely more free than the old Twitter, and played a huge role in Trump's election, the whine and obsess over perceived slights.
Note how they never put out reasoned arguments explaining their concerns, but just drop these low-IQ condescending snarks that accomplish nothing. Can you imagine having a face to face conversation with someone like this? They take zero pleasure in small (or even large) victories but just bitch about how it's not perfect. It's rooted in a sense of ingratitude, entitlement, and self-pity. All emotional poison.
I'm thrilled Elon is on our side and grateful for it as I understand how devastating it would be if he was on the other side. The guy isn't perfect but he's brilliant and a visionary, but more importantly he's willing to risk what he has for something he believes in. I'll take those types of people on my side any day.
🎯🎯🎯. He single handedly preserved our freedom of speech, at great financial and personal cost. Without Musk, we would not be looking forward (🙏🏻🤞🙏🏻🤞) to a Trump presidency, or to the awakening of masses to the horrors of the Covid shots.
Or, as a poster pointer out above, perhaps this free speech illusion is for his own ends to build towards his AI and transhumanism dystopia. Certainly a possibility.
But what, exactly, does Elon believe in? Yesterday, in response to the Time cover with his "checklist", he tweeted - "I am trying to make life multiplanetary to maximize the probable lifespan of consciousness. Some of the items below are needed for that." That IS his endgame - to maximize the probably lifespan of consciousness. Not mankind, not our species, not humans - consciousness. He's clearly tranhumanist and views our physical bodies as meat sacks. I have been trying to square this with his buying of Twitter. My working hypothesis is that he is gathering all of the Twitter data to feed into his LLM, and also as part of this archiving of consciousness. He realizes that freedom of speech is necessary to get the most authentic model, the best data - it's simply the optimal environment. As long as our short term goals align, he's an ally. But there is going to be a tipping point and if he's amassed enough power, it's not going to matter what us useless eater's think.
Yes, and you've probably said some nutty stuff in your life too.
At this point the overriding issue is free speech vs. controlled speech. Without free speech we can't even discuss the stuff you mention above is a good idea or not. Without free speech those in power will simply do what they want and crush those who oppose them. Without free speech people are jailed and/or destroyed for questioning things like forced vaccination, lockdowns, flooding the country will illegal aliens, endless wars, and looting the treasury to send it overseas.
We came dangerously close that just a few short years ago. Elon spent $42B of his own money to make X a place that allows and fosters free speech. He did that because he believes in it as it was a terrible deal from a financial perspective. No it's not perfect, but it's light-years better than what it was. And it undoubtedly played a huge roll in the election as it counteracted the corporate media's lies.
Elon also went all in for Trump when he knew he would be financially destroyed and likely imprisoned if Trump lost. It was a huge gamble, it would have been far safer and easier to stay neutral but he didn't. He stuck his neck way out because he believed the country needed to change and this was probably the last opportunity to do so.
This is exactly what I mean with so many people on our side. They obsess over minutia out of their own insignificance, ingratitude, and self-pity and completely miss the big picture. None of these whiners have 1% of Elon's vision and fortitude. And I'm not crazy about the guy as I work for a big competitor of his. But I recognize what he did for the country and am grateful he's on our side.
Eeyorism and ignorance abound.
As Ayn Rand said, some people will do anything to avoid thinking for themselves.
You don't know he is on our side. Why is this difficult to comprehend? Or do you have a personal relationship with him and actually know this? Has it occured to you that this could all be orchestrated in order to get people who are resistant to Musks transhumanism agenda to slow walk forward with it? Again, , not claiming I'm right, but it amazes me how much blind faith people put in billionaires who five minutes ago were your enemies.
BUT it will matter to God.
I belong to Him, and if any transhumanists have a problem with me, they will have to take it up with Him, to go through Him.
If you believe in God, then we are human meat sacks. lol
His biometric Twitter data is going to a shady Israeli firm.
We must look at the endgame. The endgame is transhumanism. Musk is part of the puzzle to get there. I hope we are wrong....
Did you see that the first Neura-link BS has been approved for trial? . And...I do not get him either. Or his agenda. You could be absolutely correct.
https://americanfaith.com/neuralink-approved-for-first-international-brain-chip-trial/
Neuralink is great for disabled people.
Of course there's nefarious uses as well.
How do you know that Elon is on "our side" exactly? You don't. It's that simple.
Last time I checked, our "side" is supposedly against AI and transhumanism, something Musk says is "inevitable." He also is heavily vested in dangerous mRNA tech (curevac). Satellites covering the entire planet for total surveillance and potentially ushering in a biometric state......UBI once his robots take all of our jobs.....I could go on, but we've been there before.
You can call us all stupid whiney babies, but in the end, none of us know his true intentions, but I do know there are more than enough red flags that I'm not going to claim he is on "our side." Perhaps he is the lesser evil, but the jury is still out on that one.
I’m good with his brain helping to undermine the bureaucratic state. After that?
AI is already everywhere, so he was correct that it is “inevitable.” We just need to “unwoke” the software. As for as transhumanusm, application of these technologies is indeed inevitable. It’s the “responsible
application” that’s in question.
So far, he has shown me nothing alarming. Who could not want our brain or spinal cord injured vets, or regular patients to improve?
Yes yes, it's going to have good applications which is how it will be sold to and accepted by people.
Is humans are in control of it, so to say it is inevitable or out of our control is mind trickery.
It doesn’t matter. He’s just a man. Celebrate the good actions. No one is trying to get you to worship him.
Yes! Please see my comment. I'm very concerned.
Some things are speed boats and can turn on a dime. Others are barges and take much longer to turn.
I think it would be fantastic!
“Remember, the deep state works for the President, our Nation’s chief executive officer.”
I thought the President, at most in the past 15-20 years worked for the Deep State. I am clearly confused
Try the last 100 years actually.
Agreed.
All the latest picks sound good, they used common sense and weren't mandating the vaccine, so they believe in personal choice.
As for Ladapo, leave him where is here in FL. We still need him just how we need DeSantis.
I rather have RFK get the position, someone who is has experience fighting pharma and everything else he's done throughout his long political career. He MUST get the cabinet position.
I'm a federal employee. After being threatened with get the jab or lose my job for more than a year, here I am again most likely getting fired. I am tired of the lies about federal employees. I worked from home long before covid hit and I do have to go into the office to work. It is a perk of the job much like the amount of vacation time you can earn based on your employer benefits. We earn less than the private sector so other benefits make up for a lower salary. But these blanket statements of federal employees are lazy, people wishing for us to get fired, and people just generally not caring about us is upsetting. Federal employee salaries are such a small part of the budget that even if DOGE fires 75% of employees (probably less than 75%?), it will be a very small savings. The terrible federal employees are the focus in the news constantly instead of gov't overspending. People are rooting for us to get fired. Sad! Remember how people felt when you were threatened to get the jab or get fired? I agree there are too many employees and cuts should be made but I've been a dedicated employee for over 15 years so it sucks people are excited about us potentially getting fired. Look at the remainder of federal expenditures and frivolous spending. That is where the cuts will reap far greater benefits but 75% of employees as if we are the sole reason ? Have some compassion for those dedicated employees who will lose their jobs. We are human too.
Well, I agree civil servants like you exist. But I'd also argue that the 80/20 rule applies that most are just not valuable or efficient. Why that is flows into your other observation.
The true waste is in the over regulation of all govt contracts and projects. Every requirement in a contract requires money and time to prove you met it. And the number of requirements has grown at least 10X in my career.
Example: the original contract to build the rockets that launched astronauts to the moon were under 20 pages, self contained. The contract for the shuttle launch vehicle was more than 400 pages and contained hundreds of other reference documents.
SpaceX had to file suit to bid on space station resupply contracts because they didn't have the history and staffing related to programs like ISO 9000. They won the lawsuit on the basis that most of the "requirements" that disqualified them from bidding had nothing to do with the mission requirements.
SpaceX's bid then won the contract at less then 30% cost of the other huge corporations. And they are demonstratedly far superior at executing the contract at that price.
Congress and agencies add waste that then has to be implemented, tracked, proven to get paid, and enforced.
The policy side of DOGE addresses that.

There aren't to enough upvotes on the entire internet to do justice to this fine post.
Thank you for it and for your service!
Right. The waste isn't in employee salaries, it's in appropriations? To ultimately fund bloated contracts awarded unsurprisingly to friends? And then "tracked, proven to get paid and enforced," along with other - as Musk/Ramaswamy have pointed out - redundancy/ies across agencies? A simplification to be sure, but pointing out it's less about the employees themselves. And undoubtedly there's a +/- Pareto distribution among workers. There typically is. It's more like a law of human nature than theory.
I know a wonderful federal employee IRL (in real life). This person is one of the few conservatives in their long-time ranks too. You're right that we need to be more thoughtful about this topic. I think the 'rub' for many, including myself, is what we perceive to be fabulous benefits, vacation time, and pensions - when so much of that has disappeared or been greatly diminished in the private sector. People are angry about that, as well as what seems to be a lack of accountability from the top. I briefly interned at a federal agency and was told they tried to spend their budget every year so as not to have it cut. The incentives seem 'off'. DC office buildings (taxpayers footing the bill) sitting mostly empty is one example. But anyway, I take your point and want you to know there are people out there who care.
Thank you. I work in a small office and it is mostly full every day. We are field agents so we are on location doing our work (not in the office) and yes we also work from home. I agree on the budget. I've had to fly out of state for work when there are agents in that state that could do work. That is a waste of taxpayer money. I also agree that they try to spend the budget so they get the same amount the next year. Our benefits are not that fabulous. They are competitive but not fabulous. Many businesses allow work from home due to covid. When I hired in with the gov't, I took a substantial pay cut. We make a decent salary but less than the private sector. We often don't get a COLA increase or the increase is a percent or two - again, less than the private sector. Bonuses? Bonuses, if any, are small. It's not that glorious but I do like my job. I think I voted myself out of a job. Lol
You’ll be better off away from there. I worked for the Fed out of college and the benefits were great. But when I got married and moved, I went to work in a real community bank.
The atmosphere is far superior as far as work ethic goes. At the Fed, everyone slacked the same amount. It was kind of a team slacking. It was really a fake environment, not at all like the business world, even though it didn’t feel like it at the time. The real world is just superior to the bureaucratic world.
I'd like to think that I will be better off but if they cut 75%, 2 million employees will be competing for jobs. Lol
Carrie, I think you may be underestimating how much Mr. Musk (and we) are depending on folks like you to be the sound and solid wood in the soon to be pruned limbs of government.
Yes, if your management is worth its salt (?) they'll recognize where pruning would be most effective. Your ilk would not be top of the list. Been there, but not in government. So has my millennial daughter during covid. She was a piece of the skeleton crew to keep the medium sized business afloat. (I did something right raising the kid! Phew.)
That is such a nice thing to say!
Carrie, same with public school teacher's yearly budgets. We were encouraged to spend every dime. Many years I would have been fine spending a fraction of the money I was given. A much saner approach would have been a budget based on need.
100% agree!
Not all private sector jobs get COLA increases or bonuses. It’s very dependent on the sector and profits. My husband had many years without a pay increase or bonus because of market conditions.
Agree.
Yes, the “we have to spend this money so our budget isn’t cut” is absolutely true in all sectors, even private. You should have heard the screaming when we were told every department had to cut spending 10%. Zero negative results; barely noticed.
Look at Twitter/X after Musk took it over. What did he cut? Close to 75% of a bloated workforce? Seems 'X' is doing just fine.
Same thing needs to happen in the Federal Government. If anything, the Gov't is even more bloated probably.
There are many fine people in Gov't service, just as in any profession. I can sympathize with their experiences. But as with any business, it comes down to shareholder value. The Federal Gov't is severely light on shareholder value at the moment. Time to trim and slim.
Hard for those directly impacted. Good for the business (the US) in the long run.
So, if that means shedding departments and divisions, slimming down operations, time to do it. Commiserations to Carrie and others that may be potentially impacted by cleaning house and essentially making Gov't employment more similar to the free market economy.
Aunt worked for the census bureau for like 40 years. She was a top-notch worker and human being so I know there are good federal employees of which I'm sure you are one. Of course there are whole departments that could be shut down and and probably bloat on the ones that are needed.
Agree. My department has been hiring a lot of people and I'm like why? We don't need more people.
I hear you. Kind of feel the same about how people talk about trans. The children lured into this need outright sympathy and support. This is the big reason I voted for Trump. The Child trans ideology is the important one. I don’t give a rats patootie what trans adults do, frankly. I have family experience with the child transgender evil. Maybe I’m too sensitive. 🤷🏼♀️
I agree. It is pure evil. The kids are being indoctrinated by their teachers and the constant push of LGBTQ via TV shows, commercials, music, etc. I've been a Trump supporter since he came down the escalator in 2015. I fear I voted myself out of a job, unfortunately. I'm glad Trump will put an end to the woke culture that has destroyed our country and youth.
The LGBTQ started years before 2015. Southpark had a show about it in 2005 and I have a friend who started her 9 year old on hormones and transitioned him with surgery when he turned 18 in California. "She" is now 26
yes, since before 2015 but heavily pushed 2020-2024.
If you feel that your job is essential then maybe you will not lose your job. Also, keep in mind that the Trump administration will be generating more jobs in the US. Have your resume updated and be ready to secure an even better job.
Carrie not all private sector jobs are what you imagine. It took me roughly 30 years to make 2.5x my starting salary and after 36 years my salary amounts to rightly$1.50 a year. I get 4 hours of sick leave a year and that is limited into my vacation time which is earned at about 3 hours a pay period. And my benefits are roughly 6x what they cost when I started. Pretty much industry wide standard as pay is based on years in the job vs merit.
The problem I see is that government union jobs have a distinct advantage... That is the government isn't expected to make a profit to stay in business and they negotiate with other people's money( tax payers). And instead of doing more with less, which has been the mantra of private sector nearly my whole career, the government just increases the budget and hires more people.
Every business has deadwood. That's why merit and measurable accomplishment should be the standard.Perhaps the salaries saved by pruning the useless should be redistributed to the
productive.
Great points.
Understood. I'm speaking from my experiences. I was in the automotive industry before this.
That’s the thing though. Everyone believes they have value (a normal human need/feeling) and should be kept on. I don’t doubt your assertion that you’re conscientious and not a slacker. I am sure there are many out there like you. The issue is, does our government really NEED to perform all of these functions? Do we need this many people working? For me it’s not so much about the perks or so-called laziness but more about, should the government be responsible for doing this work? I personally think it shouldn’t be, in a great many cases. And if we take all of the small cuts together, they will add up. Also the government will have less power because it won’t control so much. I’m sorry that there is a possibility your job may be one targeted and sympathize with your situation. But if we start thinking this way, we’ll never cut anything because there are always at least some people who are decent and trying their best who will be negatively affected by the changes.
Some KNOW they are slackers :) LOL
Yeah an ex friend’s sister comes to mind… 😒
Good points. Thanks for the reminder.
And I definitely hope you are one of those retained, but if not, I hope you find a different amazing job where you can use your skills and where they’ll appreciate you! Also kudos to you for refusing the shots and for sticking to your principles! I truly admire that!
Thank you :)

Ugh *out there* not out tiger 🙄 Wish I could edit in the app 🙄
Going to have to edit this later because now that I’ve posted, of course I see a ton of typos 🙄
I have a couple of relatives and a really close friend who retired from ‘government service’. And no, federal workers are NOT paid less than in the private sector. They retired with HIGH pensions and benefits that the private sector can only dream of having, in addition to being offered the best insurance money can buy…..and for life!!!
One friend turned in her notice to retire and was told “If you work two more weeks you’ll get an extra $1,000/ month! She was already going to pension out after 20 years, at the same that my husband gets after 55 years in the private sectors, sans the RollsRoyce of insurance packets. And all she had to put in was 20 years + 2 weeks!!
From my experience, I took a significant pay cut to work for the gov't. In my former job, I got bonuses and now that employer is giving out much bigger bonuses than when I worked there. Insurance would be comparable. I'm glad your relatives had better experiences than I but I do not believe that is accurate of today's federal employees. There is a difference between CSRS and FERS retirement. I will not be getting the retirement plan or the RollsRoyce insurance plans your relatives got.
I agree! My husband was fired for not complying. Now he has a federal job and is a remote worker. He is hardworking and never abuses his work at home privilege. However we Will Not be moving to Philadelphia. I don’t know what will happen but I believe the pyramid of Govt employees has been inverted to Top heavy and my hope it that the top will be cut down to size and the workers will not be the focus.
I'm sorry your husband was fired. Yes, too many at the top and think many of them will be let go especially if they cut as many employees as they say. I have to account for my work time at home and say what I do each day whether at home or in the field or office. Our time is monitored by our time sheets so it's not like we just spend 8 hours at home unaccounted for. Interesting times for sure and I hope your husband is able to keep his job.
Thank you, yes he has to do that too and I believe many are on the up and up, but I know not all and those are the ones who need to be cut. Hopefully it will be fair and not like everything else :')
Here's hoping they are fair and for your husband to keep his job :)
Not you, just the managers.
