Is Trump reading Coffee & Covid? You decide; Trump shakes down the globe for America; Epstein leaks turn grotesque; Woody Allen resurfaces; and a Florida grand jury may be nearing RussiaGate indictmen
Just in case President Trump IS reading C&C, Good Morning, Mr. President! And welcome to the sanctuary of sanity built by the one and only Mr. Jeff Childers. We are THRILLED that you are here. Take off your shoes and sit a spell. Let me get you a 🥤and a 🍔. Cheers to you, Mr. President!
And Jeff, even if he isn’t, the fact that you’re tracking with or just ahead of the Whitehouse (and WAY ahead of MSM) is incredibly impressive. You have been my first thing in the morning go to for news and information and a smile for four years. I don’t see that changing any time soon ❤️.
It’s also possible that the person who types his posts or one of his staff reads C&C and so that places their (and Mr Childer’s,) thinking on Mr President’s radar?
Very, very likely that Leavitt is the "instigator" in this 'coincidental coalition between C & C and Trump 2.0!! Has anyone here seen the supposed Trump statement where he's "salivating" over Leavitt's physical 'attributes'? If he DID say those things--SO WHAT! If he didn't--then it's just more "media propaganda' incited by the snoops agencies to color Trump as a 'pedo' POTUS! Disgusting rats that they are!!
I wonder how much of our country's 'policies' are created by the various snoops agencies rather than by elected officials?
I don’t believe for a minute that President Trump said that. He respects her as he respects all his staff. Please don’t repeat gossip or fake news particularly on C&C.
I never heard that gossip about a statement regarding Ms. Leavitt from President Trump until you mentioned it which is why I suggested you not repeat it. By bringing it up you at least perpetuated the gossip. Personally I make it my policy not to repeat anything unless I know it’s verified.
I thought you were talking about Jeff’s staff at first and I was wondering what I’d missed... I always thought he only had Michelle for beta reading, lol.
Coffee&Covid is frequently cross-posted at The Conservative Tree House, a site well known in DC silos and where there are many high level "eyes on" daily, among which is reportedly DNI Director Gabbard, for example.
It's highly likely the same readership is true of C&C.
There's no doubt in my mind that Jeff Childers is on all the right radar.
The BEST comment section on any substack I follow, hands down. So many smart people who really want to understand what’s going on, not just spout talking points.
I agree. So much so that I am intimidated from posting many comments myself for fear of seeming so much less erudite than most of the commenters here. My forte is grammar, not so much clever writing. Sadly, being a great editor is now a despised occupation as the world has fallen into the trap of dumbing down and indoctrination.
Jeff has uncommon insight and an amazing ability to connect seemingly-unrelated facts. Also, he’s a great writer and often hilarious. I’m a little sad that he’s becoming so popular, but also.... I totally understand. He’s a gem.
The more people who read C&C the more informed they become. Jeff is always able to connect the dots and consolidate more information in one place than anything else I read. I make a point of reading C&C every day so I can get a good take on everything that's happened. It wouldn't surprise me at all if President Trump has discovered C&C and reads it.
Absolutely! We have many friends who remain clueless in regard to the covid scam, vaccines, and everything else in our culture because they are either captured by MSM or Fox which is just a shade better. The MSM folks actually want to live in Lala land completely oblivious that dots even exist. The Fox folks see the dots but are incapable of connecting them.
So we desperately need to share the enlightenment that comes by being a C&C reader!
It’s my lunch break every day. I often quote his articles and direct my friends to subscribe to it.
As I was composing a comment on yesterday’s post, my fingers also strayed to Taylor Swift. (“She can’t sing”) A friend who’s a photographer loves her and comments on her excellent videos. I think her “shine“ is created by smoke and mirrors—as is the case with artists with mediocre talent. Their 15 minutes of fame.
I’d say further that this is the caché of liberal/progressive/leftist thought processes. Pick a topic that’s taboo, like race, and use it as a weapon of shame. Then promote anyone and everyone that matches that topic to show how “with it” (compliant with the narrative) one can be. Use the approved language, of course. Like Steven Colbert—when he only makes jokes by regurgitating liberal talking points and complain about “the other side,” he fizzles out. Years of the same “shtick” is annoying. Further, when the liberal talking points are just lies, and reality begins to reveal the lies, then the audience leaves.
I’ve said for several years that liberal/progressives/leftists make up only about 25-30% of the US population. That’s not enough to create a liberal wave 🌊 without needing to exaggerate and coerce the rest of the population. In other words, base one’s stories on lies. 🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥
“Swindlers and scoundrels talk out of both sides of their mouths. They wink at each other, they shuffle their feet, they cross their fingers behind their backs. Their perverse minds are always cooking up something nasty, always stirring up trouble. Catastrophe is just around the corner for them, a total wreck, their lives ruined beyond repair.”
I’m delighted he has become so popular! As soon as I discovered Coffee & Covid early on I forwarded it to my “Wisdom Warriors” group in my community as well as to my husband, my sisters and extended family! His column is the best way to get “news” and well researched information. Thank you Jeff! You are a great patriot!
I too like the wit he uses to explain technical legal terms. Warning, if you do drink coffee while reading his posts, you will snort coffee out your nose at least once. Everyone can attest to that!
And in his popularity, all the misinformation attacks coming from people who "voted for Trump three times" but suddenly and inexplicably now can't stand him....
Don’t believe it for a second. We can be displeased about “this or that,” but we voted for him based on the deplorable condition of our government and country. Being irritated wouldn’t change anyone’s mind.
That’s the tell; “I voted for him 3 times.” So that’s supposed to give them the credibility to tell us what an awful job Trump’s doing. Funny how they mirror the Demonrat talking points.
WS, Exactly! One of the other ladies in here had an excellent point the other day… One of them made the 3 vote proclamation, She immediately called him out and stated, “I voted for him 6 times”. He responded how could that be? He was only in three elections, thinking he had really nailed her with a gotcha. Her response, yeah I voted for him 6 times, 3 Primary Votes and 3 General Election votes. He slimmed off like a NY Times snake and I haven’t seen him since.
I thought it was you, but I didn't want to wrongly attribute it!! You did good!
I think the other thing is that anyone who would claim they voted for the President 3 times, and now, after all the great work he has done to keep his promises and restore OUR of, by, and for the people Constitutional Republic would now claim they no longer support him is 100% proof you are talking to a Dem or RINO infiltrator.
For those of us who have been here for a while, more people (like a ton more) mean for a more diffuse comment section. Which is great, but it was also fun to have longer conversations with a few people back in the day. Wouldn’t want to change it back, Jeff deserves every sub he’s got.
Yeah, Valerie, l agree with you again. I thought about the fact that the comment section is getting to be unmanageable for me timewise but just decided not to say it.
We are with you on that feeling, Jeff is OUR only real parameter for Real News.
Mr. Trump is definitely getting the briefing on C&C which is a great thermometer for the Truth felling of the majority of the people of this beautiful country.
Jeff, you are way too important for this country regardless of how you will perceive yourself.
You did started a huge movement the they that you won the lawsuit against Alachua County.
You guided all of us through the hardest days in our lives and promises us of something that we weren’t sure that would ever happen….”JUSTICE”.
You saved many lives explaining what the jab was and why we should consider taking it.
We will always be grateful for your courage and sacrifice.
Carlos, I 100% agree. Jeff is the only "News" I read every single day and has been for the last 4 years. I am so thankful a friend forwarded Jeff's Substack on to me in 2021. I have since passed him on to many others.
Our President is a Diet Coke guy. He has a red button on his desk which he presses when he needs a new one! :) Maybe Jeff should rename to Coffee & Covid & Coke haha! I am quite sure one of the president's staffers reads, why wouldn't they? Jeff has all the angles and behind the scenes news and stories...I really do not know how on earth he does it! SO thankful for you Jeff. God bless you!
I dunno…my hubs is a Dr. Pepper dude…my mother finally broke down and keeps some in the house when he visits 🤣. But just in case, Mr. President, this cuppa Joe’s for you ☕️.
Sure sounds like the Times is setting the stage for the release of damning videos of people that need to go in the Democrat party and some from the GOP or of conservative ilk that are too influential to let them hang around. The first task will be to analyze each video to determine whether it is AI generated which it likely will be and this needs to be done quickly before the public accepts a video image as real and then tunes out the retractions coming later on.
About that Bill Gates $1 bill signed "I was wrong"... Do you remember the movie "Trading Places" with Eddie Murphy and Dan Akroyd? The Duke Brothers as Well Street kingpins bet $1 that a petty street criminal, Murphy, could do the job that Ivy League blue blood, Dan Akroyd, was doing heading up a family business division.
The bet was Nature vs. Nurture. Does our blood, our genetics determine our outcome or our experiences? This is Eugenics. And Epstein was an avid eugenicist. He fancied himself a modern-day Genghis Khan, destined to seed the future human race.
The Bill Gates angle fits in many ways. The $1 "I was wrong" inscription means more than it seems. It was a Duke Brothers bet about something eugenics related.
You have absolutely no idea what the bet was about. It could have been whether Bill preferred the 16 year old blond Norwegian sex slave over the 14 year old Spanish one...or anything.
Trading Places, the movie, was very successful and profitable and is an icon of events in 1983, later in 1987 stock crash. The irony and message of the framed dollar bet, gambling, tied in with stock market manipulation and psychotic behavior as learned or inherited compliments Epstein and Gate’s foray into genetics and money laundering. I doubt it had anything to do with sex, but as an inside joke between them. Gates and Epstein’s rag to riches story epitomizes the use of psychotic predator behavior for them and some of those in the world’s leadership class.
That is how the Rothschilds took over the Bank England after Waterloo. Their coconut wireless was better than anyone else's, so after they knew Napoleon lost, they sold everything. Everybody followed them to the bottom. Then the Rothschilds bought up the stocks they wanted for pennies on the pound.
Just a minor correction, Roland; the Rothschilds STARTED the bank of England, and the bank of France, and the bank of Austria, and the bank of Italy, and the bank of Germany.
… and these were simply their first five banks
… you were right about the rest of it though
… interesting note: Soros got all his money by using the bank of England to screw the people out of their money
I read somewhere that Jeff Epstein was hired at the young age of 21 in ‘74 to teach math at an elite school in New York that was headed by AG Billy Barr’s daddy, where eventually, he was introduced to the CEO of Bear Stearns, by said CEO’s young daughter, who was one of Jeff’s ‘students’. Jeffrey was fired from the school and then hired by that CEO to work at Bear Stearns in ‘76
Another interesting connection to the movie Trading Places that is relevant for our times. The producer Aaron Russo. Who made a few other films (in addition to being connected to many Hollywood types and musicians), an important one being "From Freedom to Fascism", 2005:
It will blow you away with 20/20 hindsight. In it he exposed how evil our government really is. He died of...cancer...two years after its release. Of course that's a coincidence.?. The first half of it was the film he started to make, looking into tax law legitimacy. But once he got filming it took him to the content in the second half. Which is where just how evil it is.
There's even a clip of Sen. Biden grilling John Roberts at his confirmation hearing about the constitutionality of ID chipping us. That whole Palintir, Neuralink Big Tech agenda, AI Data Center as infrastructure stuff.
Note: following the advice about not paying taxes is hazardous to one's freedom. As many who watched it back then found out. I'm sure our host Jeff Childers will vouch for that.
I stopped filing income tax forms in 2004 when I was employed by a major oil company. As a single person filer I raised the number of dependents to offset some of what was being deducted. Several years went by then I started getting nasty notes from the IRS. They evidently did an audit and sent me an invoice which I paid, then another followed, which I paid. Still I did not file. Finally they contacted the company’s HR department and had them reduce my withholding status to zero dependents to maximize the amount withheld and forbid any changes the number of dependents in an effort to make me file in order to get my money back. Still I did not file. So what I did is maximize my 401K withholding contributions to reduce the amount available to tax which netted a nice stash to add to an accepted offer for an early retirement bonus in 2012. Figured me not working there any more I could at least cut off their revenue stream. Suppose I cut off my nose too despite myself, but then that’s the price of ridding oneself of parasites. Went on to manage an RV park for 10 years that a friend owned that made him a millionaire when it was sold. I received my fair share of the proceeds when the deal closed. Finally I am retired and still don’t file a return no matter how many government programs are offered for free money or benefits in order to entice a filing or submit a copy of one to qualify.
Current count says 36 people think more about my idea than your 3. When "no idea" = 12x your idea. The numbers themselves invalidate you. Your very existence. I dunno, those who suffer from having both small brain and small peepee sometimes are better off taking the easy way out of life. But, at present, you'd have to go to Canada for your MAiD.
Also wrong about that. It was not sarcasm, it was telling you you're clueless and also making a joke.
You originally responded:
[I actually have a pretty good idea. And presented it. Just because you don't like an idea doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Take your dismissive belligerence and shove it where the sun don't shine AT.]
Just because you imagine a fairy castle in the clouds doesn't make it real.
Was just trying to give a dumbfuck asshole the benefit of the doubt. Nope. Quite certainly a dumbfuck asshole. One in every crowd. Here's a bag of dicks for you to eat.
That's what the New Mexico ranch was set up for. Harvested eggs there, many reports from the young girls about being in dream state when felt it happening, surreal. But then learning it was real.
And not just to make in vitro Epstein babies this way. Was done for the wealthy, powerful elite.
@Based- I made Don, Jr. laugh once on Twitter- back when I was on it- and he actually commented and said he was going to use the phrase I used from now on. That was fun.
re: "And Trump has done it by himself." Good morning Mr President and Jeff, from sunny Arizona. If Jeff is not a senior adviser in the White House, he damn sure should be.
Yes, the President has done it by himself and with his imminently capable team! As most of us have from the beginning (not including the Portlanders and never-Trumper RINOs who periodically show up and need to get their spankings from Jeff and the rest of us), we must continue to pray for and support the President's initiatives 100%. He is indeed keeping his promises and Making America Great Again. We are blessed.
I think our dear President surrounded himself with a brilliant team during his four years in the desert and devised a brilliant and deliberate strategy that we see being deployed with disciplined precision. No happenstance. No luck. No knee jerk reactions. Jeff’s insights have been spot on and I have enjoyed every single minute of this new administration.
Reminds me a bit of the life of Moses: adopted Egyptian prince trying to save his people & driven into exile. Then the reprieve in the wilderness. Then a renewed & unstoppable (darn near supernatural) mandate to “Let my people go!”
In God's time, the time between the crucifixion of Christ and the preparation and restoration of President Trump is a blink of the eye. Its interesting, the same type of corrupt bureaucrats who murdered Jesus also attempted to murder Trump. God had other plans. Im not saying that Trump is the second coming of Jesus, Im saying that God put Trump in place to find accountability for the same evil who murdered Jesus and several generations later stole the Country HE created to help overcome evil. Far-fetched? Not in this believer's mind.
Jeff Childers > Rush Limbaugh. I’ve believed this since my first week of discovering the newsletter. All of Rush’s deep insight but with the addition of a litigator’s eye/perspective, trial experience, and brilliant humor as a free bonus.
It was such an encouragement to me when it seemed like so many people were all in on the Covid measures to find Jeff and the C&C community, where people were seeing through all the lies! It helped give me hope and strengthened my resolve.
Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law. Do this, knowing the time, that it is already the hour for you to awaken from sleep; for now salvation is nearer to us than when we believed. The night is almost gone, and the day is near. Therefore let us lay aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light.
It amazes me that after multiple readings of verses, passages, chapters, and books in the Bible over many years, a treasure like this leaps off the page and causes my spirit to soar.
My church is in the book of Romans now! Chapter 11 this week. Only take 15 years to get through the Bible. Check us out online. Athey Creek Church. We had a huge crusade last weekend. Was fantastic
I’m so glad to see this! I’ve been tuning in to Athey Creek since a friend in ID was watching when I stayed with her for a visit. Love and hugs from the Peoples Republic of Washington State❤️
My son and his family went on Saturday night and asked if my husband and I wanted to go with them on Sunday night. It was wonderful watching my grandkids worship !
I just emailed a friend yesterday about the fact that Christians need to wake up to the seriousness of the situation we are in. We had been discussing AI and its possible dangers. It may be a tool for good in some situations, but I believe it is more dangerous than we can imagine. I refuse to engage with it. Technology is never benign. Just my two cents.
"...The night is almost gone, and the day is near. Therefore let us lay aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light..."
I do believe Paul's words meant something very specific to those whom he was addressing at that point of time in history just as Jesus meant something very specific to those who listened to and heeded His warnings about what was to come. Thus "The night is almost gone, and the day is near."
When thinking of a "user name" i typed the letter "A" ... then i paused for a second .... Doggonit if a few seconds later I was prompted by some AI to "choose a longer name".
I definitely think some variety of advisors around Trump are reading Coffee and Covid! You’re shaping history here and we’ve able to be a small part of it as the C&C army! 👏
It's kind of hard to get things done in congress when you are literally one of like 3 people who have morals and ethics. Don't belittle people who are actually decent and are trying to represent their constituents rather than the donor class.
I live in KY and voters are turning on Massie. He is coming off like John McStain. He appears to think he’s more intelligent than anyone else, and he stinks.
Jeff, your prose is positively brilliant. And I thought *I* was a writer:
"Even more exciting, we can rationally expect the large new investments to cluster in friendly red states, where permitting, taxes, and politics are all aligned. The anti-growth blue states, meanwhile, are likely to watch from the sidelines— hobbled by climate compliance mandates, union entanglements, bureaucratic bloat, and the irresistible compulsion to slap ESG strings on every shovelful of dirt."
I think the "proof" that President Trump reads your Coffee & Covid is that you both made the EXACT same error calling it "Bud Lite" .... whereas the correct way is Bud Light ! Only Miller uses the "Lite" spelling ..... just saying ......
I was thinking that recently too! Only in real life it’s far more nerve-wracking than a movie because the outcome isn’t known and can potentially be catastrophic. The movie will come to an acceptable conclusion in approx 2 hours.
Being famous, powerful, socially well connected and rich beyond belief doesn't make you elite....it makes you a dirtbag....potentially. Holier than thou complex, ego, boredom, mutant values, distorted view of reality, unmitigated and unchecked lust, etc...a recipe for monumental disaster. Epstein, Diddy, and those of similar ilk, are seriously whack.
Woody and his daughter (wife) were invited to a dinner without food? and then ALWAYS went back each time for the spectacle of Epstein and his revolving guest-list of interesting types, coaching Jeffery and his staff to be a better host in regard to type and quality and quantity of FOOD being provided to those at the table. So clearly sharing Conversations and "connections" were the main aim of this Predator's Castle, so very seductive that The Allens were eager and frequent guests. I still don't see any direct extortion or blackmailing going on...where's the "Do THIS or else" results that came out of any of this? It appears more of a Perverts' Clique Club of Congeniality where all the sordid and salacious gathered excitedly for affirmation, approval and reinforcement of reprobate living and influence over their own spheres of life and human interactions away from their Coven of debauched exploitative and frequent forays of the various compliant teen "brides" within the lecher's lair. I suppose the Lex Wexler $80 million property transferred to his close pal Jeff E. may be an example of "pay up or else".
You are assuming that the FOOD at these dinners was the actual thing Woody was talking about.
I think its possible that Woody Allen was actually critiquing something entirely different, and using descriptions of the comestibles as something of a code.
Re-reading the note with a mind to sexual-deviant appetites for indulgences (Catered Chinese buffet and getting in line to help one's self), appetizers first-then main dish, flowers arranged in middle of table, then the odd terminology of "Normal, Civil, dining" as to paste these terms upon a shared group-experience that is the furthest thing from what they were participating in. You're on to them by reading between his lines, Astute, EXCELLENT work Dolce!
perhaps GROOMED from an early age to explore and unleash unrestrained erotic urges and reap the rewards of being willingly used by insatiable powerful men/women, and then, to in turn leverage, exploit, and use young people in like manner when opportunities are created, and foster a continuance of such outlook, behavior, and titillating taboo lifestyle.
That’s what popped into my mind, Sweet. Like the performance dinner by Marina Abramovic at LA’s MOCA Gala in 2009, where they brought a naked “woman” out on a table and started slicing her up for dessert, starting at her crotch. I kid you not. You won’t believe this story and photos: https://observer.com/2011/11/losing-our-appetites-marina-abramovics-moca-gala/#slide1
no specific mentions of extravagant sweet sticky desserts, of biting into un-ripened fruit, undercooked rare morsels of meat, slurping savory sauces, raw juicy oysters requiring forcing open of the shells? The House Favorite, the Chef's Surprise, the Nightly Specials....Woody is apparently quite enamored with the "meals" and those serving them, and is enjoying poking at Jeff E.'s odd hospitality and sinister method of hosting guests in the birthday letter.
Once again this is all theater to cover for the shenanigans going on in the Beltway. Geezer Chuck Grasley and another GOP senator from Utah put a hold on several of Trump’s treasury nominees. They want the “Green greed” left in the OBBB. They want to keep solar and wind subsidies in place. Did they ask the people of Iowa and Utah if that is what they want?
Valdimir Putins secret 22 year old daughter is rich and spoiled to the max and has now publicly lashed out at him. Not a smart move if you ask Me. new York post had the story yesterday
Not wanting to sound like an old fogie (spelling?), I tried not to complain about the crap digital music and the movies with all the same plot, fearing I would be a "good old days" old person, but you, Counsel filled in the missing piece. We have been stagnant since the late 70's. Let us hope this is the beginning of the ice breaking.
My early 60's husband and I are both rock/metal fans and go to a lot of live shows. Have read/heard/seen a fair amount of commentary in the rock press, bloggers, etc, regarding new music and the relative lack of 'must see' bands in the last 20 years. In all fairness, some of this is likely attributable to all of the digital channels making every genre known to man available at the touch of a button vs our options: saving babysitting money to go to the record store to buy the latest hot albums and calling the radio station to request our favorite song. Lots more choices out there. Just as there are lots of channels on TV so not those shows that 'everyone' watched - like Dallas, Seinfeld, All in the Family, etc. But name a rock act that formed in the last 20 years that sells out auditoriums. Jelly Roll, maybe. MOST of the newer bands are not memorable. My hubby likes some of them but I am mostly 'meh'. Maybe I am just 'old' but for most of the A list band concerts we go to they are pretty much an all ages show - it's not all grey hairs in the audience.
But this then takes me to unity - the things we could all gather and commiserate about are becoming few and far between. Went to a neighborhood barbecue a few weeks ago and most of the people were younger than us. A lot of popular culture stuff was lost to me and small talk around commonalities was a struggle. Oh there's the weather, funny stuff the kids said or did, or the new restaurant in town but seemed like there were more topics either off limits (politics, news, religion, etc) in a mixed crowd than there were topics either relevant to a large number of people or acceptable to chat about casually. Of course there were the 'I know someone who has cancer...' conversations. (that hubby gave me the 'don't go there' look)
Yes! Went down that rabbit hole a few years ago. Of course a lot of those acts pre-date me. I was HS class of '83. But does make you wonder if we have not been 'programmed' to follow some of the more popular acts of the day. Never got into the Doors and some of those other bands from the Canyon though.
I think it explains why the supposed ‘rebels’ (baby boomers) against tradition are in fact the most compliant to the government: the ‘rebellion’ was a govt psy op!
Let's not forget Canadian company ClearChannel bought up the majority of American local radio stations and then shut them down to create a monopoly of streaming radio which we now are saturated with.
I long for the sixties when I was a teen. Overall, that was the high point of American culture. It's been nothing but a slide downhill ever since. To get a feel for it, all one has to do is review the movies of the sixties compared to the trash produced since.
It was actually the last dregs of our culture, still looking & sounding pretty decent even in decay! The moment before an evil agenda began to squeeze the life out of us in earnest!
It was also the time of the last nationwide revival that we have seen.
The high point of our culture was in fact reached several hundred years ago: art music literature architecture etc have all descended gradually from the mid second millennium since Christ - trailing the drift away from sound theology imo.
In terms you are talking about, I agree. My comment was from a more provincial perspective. The church's drift away from sound theology is profound and today's American church has no idea of how far they have drifted.
As a child of the ‘60’s, I share your nostalgia, Phil! Little did we know what lay in store - nor recognize from whence we’d already fallen.
My parents, grandparents, neighbors & schoolteachers, doctors, shopkeepers, friends were all overwhelmingly Christian. My church was a genuine multigenerational extended family. The love of God was the fabric of society!
The lure of the modern, post WWII technology & styles had its charm - but we were still blessed by tradition.
We had no notion of the twisted experiment we would soon undergo!
“You can have all this world - give me Jesus!” Anything good in this life is surely drawn from His veins.
Someone I knew as a kid once said: "we grew up at the best of times (70s), in the best of places (suburbs of Chicago where we could run free), and we had the best of parents. (Jack and Lorrie Knox for me).
"Let us hope this is the beginning of the ice breaking."
Needed : One ice pick and a wooden mallet ! Also long tube which through critical thinking can be inserted , while sucking out the entitlement and mental/physical laziness of the facebook addicted generation(s) .
and the final touch ...... a good dose of heart and soul
All the "cool people" read Coffee and Covid. The coolest ones subscribe and assist in compensating you for your hard work. I would like to encourage those who aren't yet subscribers to do so. If not by subscription, then just a one time contribution. Every little bit helps.
I say this on here often, but you can send Jeff a monthly set amount through one of his links at the bottom of his posts even if the full amount of a subscription is too much of a challenge for you. I do this, and unfortunately still can’t read Sunday, but I’m fine with that. Jeff deserves to get paid for what he produces.
Jeff is amazingly generous with his content. How many other writers produce six days a week for free and allow comments from unpaid subscribers as well?
1Timothy 5:18 A workman is worthy of his hire. the phrase highlights the principle of supporting those who are actively involved in ministry or service. It emphasizes the responsibility of the community to provide for those who are working on their behalf.
I think, of all people, Jeff would understand that some of us have 4 kids in private parochial school and what that does to disposable income......like some kind of reverse child tax karma credit.
It would be great if he would like this comment to assuage my Catholic guilt. Alas, dreams.
What you are doing for your four children is a treasure beyond measure. Jeff would certainly understand and encourage that use of money first and foremost. Our three were blessed with this opportunity and our sacrifice. Top notch kids well developed with moral bearings and high standards and aspirations. Money well spent!
Valerie you can subscribe for one month only, pay the $50 and have access to archive too, plus get your 4 Sundays. Then cancel. So Jeff gets compensation and you get something extra too. I do this from time to time. I did sign up for 2 full years as well but sometimes I feel guilty spending that much rather than saving for my kids.
The Sundays are extra good. I signed up for one year paid in full like $500, and cancelled at 11 months so it wouldn’t auto renew, and I was surprised I was actually refunded for that last Month and cancelled instantly. So I’m pretty sure you can cancel anytime, maybe even with the month by month at $50.
I pledged $11.00 a month ….+ the bank service cost! I so enjoy Jeff’s learned & succinct analysis, just cannot pay mucho dollars ! Thanks so much for allowing me to discount your talent.
Just in case President Trump IS reading C&C, Good Morning, Mr. President! And welcome to the sanctuary of sanity built by the one and only Mr. Jeff Childers. We are THRILLED that you are here. Take off your shoes and sit a spell. Let me get you a 🥤and a 🍔. Cheers to you, Mr. President!
And Jeff, even if he isn’t, the fact that you’re tracking with or just ahead of the Whitehouse (and WAY ahead of MSM) is incredibly impressive. You have been my first thing in the morning go to for news and information and a smile for four years. I don’t see that changing any time soon ❤️.
🤣🤣 love it!
It’s also possible that the person who types his posts or one of his staff reads C&C and so that places their (and Mr Childer’s,) thinking on Mr President’s radar?
I believe Karoline Leavitt reads C&C the minute she gets into the White House. "Nuff said.
Me too.
Bet they consider Jeff’s analysis every day.
If they don’t, they SHOULD.
I wish they would take the covid jab issue under advisement then if they are reading it.
Me too, Lori
Very, very likely that Leavitt is the "instigator" in this 'coincidental coalition between C & C and Trump 2.0!! Has anyone here seen the supposed Trump statement where he's "salivating" over Leavitt's physical 'attributes'? If he DID say those things--SO WHAT! If he didn't--then it's just more "media propaganda' incited by the snoops agencies to color Trump as a 'pedo' POTUS! Disgusting rats that they are!!
I wonder how much of our country's 'policies' are created by the various snoops agencies rather than by elected officials?
Anyone care to venture an opinion?
I don’t believe for a minute that President Trump said that. He respects her as he respects all his staff. Please don’t repeat gossip or fake news particularly on C&C.
Julie- I was curious as to whether or not anyone was buying into the nasty gossip - I referred to it--I did NOT repeat it!
I never heard that gossip about a statement regarding Ms. Leavitt from President Trump until you mentioned it which is why I suggested you not repeat it. By bringing it up you at least perpetuated the gossip. Personally I make it my policy not to repeat anything unless I know it’s verified.
Certainly Clarice Feldman from American Thinker reads is as she quotes C&C almost every Sunday in her excellent piece there
I thought you were talking about Jeff’s staff at first and I was wondering what I’d missed... I always thought he only had Michelle for beta reading, lol.
I think Michelle is also one helluva good researcher too!
In the podcast with a pastor he said he has one assistant
His office assistant Suzette (if I remember correctly), I am guessing.
Gotcha, I think I meant to go back and listen but didn’t.
🤣😂 me too.
It kinda looks like someone from the New York Times might be reading it too
…Or as Astragale said; “If they don’t, they SHOULD.”
Coffee&Covid is frequently cross-posted at The Conservative Tree House, a site well known in DC silos and where there are many high level "eyes on" daily, among which is reportedly DNI Director Gabbard, for example.
It's highly likely the same readership is true of C&C.
There's no doubt in my mind that Jeff Childers is on all the right radar.
A warm Welcome to the Trump Team! Jeff Childers nails it every morning. C&C Comments are a great way to “Read the Room”.
The BEST comment section on any substack I follow, hands down. So many smart people who really want to understand what’s going on, not just spout talking points.
Agree! And entertaining too! 😁
Very!
Yes, I have never participated in comments on social media, until C&C!!!
Yes. The very best.
I agree. So much so that I am intimidated from posting many comments myself for fear of seeming so much less erudite than most of the commenters here. My forte is grammar, not so much clever writing. Sadly, being a great editor is now a despised occupation as the world has fallen into the trap of dumbing down and indoctrination.
I hope you post more Ruthann 222! This is not a judgy group, we like ideas, and they don’t have to be perfectly stated.
Also, I also love grammar and lament that it seems to be going by the wayside.
Thanks! It’s good to know there are still a few of us left!
Jeff has uncommon insight and an amazing ability to connect seemingly-unrelated facts. Also, he’s a great writer and often hilarious. I’m a little sad that he’s becoming so popular, but also.... I totally understand. He’s a gem.
The more people who read C&C the more informed they become. Jeff is always able to connect the dots and consolidate more information in one place than anything else I read. I make a point of reading C&C every day so I can get a good take on everything that's happened. It wouldn't surprise me at all if President Trump has discovered C&C and reads it.
My hubs was always giving me the “news” the next day. Now he starts with, “You probably already know this…”
Absolutely! We have many friends who remain clueless in regard to the covid scam, vaccines, and everything else in our culture because they are either captured by MSM or Fox which is just a shade better. The MSM folks actually want to live in Lala land completely oblivious that dots even exist. The Fox folks see the dots but are incapable of connecting them.
So we desperately need to share the enlightenment that comes by being a C&C reader!
It’s my lunch break every day. I often quote his articles and direct my friends to subscribe to it.
As I was composing a comment on yesterday’s post, my fingers also strayed to Taylor Swift. (“She can’t sing”) A friend who’s a photographer loves her and comments on her excellent videos. I think her “shine“ is created by smoke and mirrors—as is the case with artists with mediocre talent. Their 15 minutes of fame.
I’d say further that this is the caché of liberal/progressive/leftist thought processes. Pick a topic that’s taboo, like race, and use it as a weapon of shame. Then promote anyone and everyone that matches that topic to show how “with it” (compliant with the narrative) one can be. Use the approved language, of course. Like Steven Colbert—when he only makes jokes by regurgitating liberal talking points and complain about “the other side,” he fizzles out. Years of the same “shtick” is annoying. Further, when the liberal talking points are just lies, and reality begins to reveal the lies, then the audience leaves.
I’ve said for several years that liberal/progressives/leftists make up only about 25-30% of the US population. That’s not enough to create a liberal wave 🌊 without needing to exaggerate and coerce the rest of the population. In other words, base one’s stories on lies. 🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥
“Swindlers and scoundrels talk out of both sides of their mouths. They wink at each other, they shuffle their feet, they cross their fingers behind their backs. Their perverse minds are always cooking up something nasty, always stirring up trouble. Catastrophe is just around the corner for them, a total wreck, their lives ruined beyond repair.”
Proverbs 6:12-15 MSG
I’m delighted he has become so popular! As soon as I discovered Coffee & Covid early on I forwarded it to my “Wisdom Warriors” group in my community as well as to my husband, my sisters and extended family! His column is the best way to get “news” and well researched information. Thank you Jeff! You are a great patriot!
I too like the wit he uses to explain technical legal terms. Warning, if you do drink coffee while reading his posts, you will snort coffee out your nose at least once. Everyone can attest to that!
He needs to be more widely read! Would be good if people all over America & beyond were regular readers.
Lot more useful than people being hypnotized by liberal media.
Subscribers, too, not just readers.
what's next - Fox news contributor
Fox news is just controlled opposition… 🤨
Not unless Fox improves exponentially.
And in his popularity, all the misinformation attacks coming from people who "voted for Trump three times" but suddenly and inexplicably now can't stand him....
Don’t believe it for a second. We can be displeased about “this or that,” but we voted for him based on the deplorable condition of our government and country. Being irritated wouldn’t change anyone’s mind.
Oh I don't believe it for a second. They are simply disingenuous, contemptuous attempts to "get inside the wire" and breed discontent among us.
yep, you got it "Fred". . . Ha!
Agree
Old El Rushbo trained us to recognize these folks as Seminar Callers.
I so miss Rush, a true legend and Patriot. Taken from us way too soon.
Wearing one of his 'Club Gitmo' shirts right now.
Warming up for the high profile personalities that will call the island home.
That’s the tell; “I voted for him 3 times.” So that’s supposed to give them the credibility to tell us what an awful job Trump’s doing. Funny how they mirror the Demonrat talking points.
WS, Exactly! One of the other ladies in here had an excellent point the other day… One of them made the 3 vote proclamation, She immediately called him out and stated, “I voted for him 6 times”. He responded how could that be? He was only in three elections, thinking he had really nailed her with a gotcha. Her response, yeah I voted for him 6 times, 3 Primary Votes and 3 General Election votes. He slimmed off like a NY Times snake and I haven’t seen him since.
That lady was me, Dan! Glad you liked that exchange.
I thought it was you, but I didn't want to wrongly attribute it!! You did good!
I think the other thing is that anyone who would claim they voted for the President 3 times, and now, after all the great work he has done to keep his promises and restore OUR of, by, and for the people Constitutional Republic would now claim they no longer support him is 100% proof you are talking to a Dem or RINO infiltrator.
Yep, you hit it Valerie.
I believe his attornel-prowess leverage Jeff's discernment and wisdom beyond anything MSM ventures.
I agree with your comment on Jeff’s insight and ability, Valerie
… although I’m a little sad that there are not tens of millions of subscribers to C&C
For those of us who have been here for a while, more people (like a ton more) mean for a more diffuse comment section. Which is great, but it was also fun to have longer conversations with a few people back in the day. Wouldn’t want to change it back, Jeff deserves every sub he’s got.
Yeah, Valerie, l agree with you again. I thought about the fact that the comment section is getting to be unmanageable for me timewise but just decided not to say it.
Agree.
The subscribers are growing, however. More of my contacts continue to subscribe and I'm sure I'm not alone.
This exactly Valerie
Good morning Mr President. Good morning Counselor. 😁😁
good one RJ.
We are with you on that feeling, Jeff is OUR only real parameter for Real News.
Mr. Trump is definitely getting the briefing on C&C which is a great thermometer for the Truth felling of the majority of the people of this beautiful country.
Jeff, you are way too important for this country regardless of how you will perceive yourself.
You did started a huge movement the they that you won the lawsuit against Alachua County.
You guided all of us through the hardest days in our lives and promises us of something that we weren’t sure that would ever happen….”JUSTICE”.
You saved many lives explaining what the jab was and why we should consider taking it.
We will always be grateful for your courage and sacrifice.
BIG THANKS 🙏
You saved many lives explaining what the jab was and why we should consider “NOT” taking it.
Carlos, I 100% agree. Jeff is the only "News" I read every single day and has been for the last 4 years. I am so thankful a friend forwarded Jeff's Substack on to me in 2021. I have since passed him on to many others.
💯
Maybe Mr. President would prefer a cuppa coffee since it’s morning and this IS COFFEE & Covid! Haha!!
Our President is a Diet Coke guy. He has a red button on his desk which he presses when he needs a new one! :) Maybe Jeff should rename to Coffee & Covid & Coke haha! I am quite sure one of the president's staffers reads, why wouldn't they? Jeff has all the angles and behind the scenes news and stories...I really do not know how on earth he does it! SO thankful for you Jeff. God bless you!
Is it possible that this is a soft leak that Jeff might secretly be a DJT policy advisor??
I would approve of that message. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!
I dunno…my hubs is a Dr. Pepper dude…my mother finally broke down and keeps some in the house when he visits 🤣. But just in case, Mr. President, this cuppa Joe’s for you ☕️.
Sure sounds like the Times is setting the stage for the release of damning videos of people that need to go in the Democrat party and some from the GOP or of conservative ilk that are too influential to let them hang around. The first task will be to analyze each video to determine whether it is AI generated which it likely will be and this needs to be done quickly before the public accepts a video image as real and then tunes out the retractions coming later on.
About that Bill Gates $1 bill signed "I was wrong"... Do you remember the movie "Trading Places" with Eddie Murphy and Dan Akroyd? The Duke Brothers as Well Street kingpins bet $1 that a petty street criminal, Murphy, could do the job that Ivy League blue blood, Dan Akroyd, was doing heading up a family business division.
The bet was Nature vs. Nurture. Does our blood, our genetics determine our outcome or our experiences? This is Eugenics. And Epstein was an avid eugenicist. He fancied himself a modern-day Genghis Khan, destined to seed the future human race.
The Bill Gates angle fits in many ways. The $1 "I was wrong" inscription means more than it seems. It was a Duke Brothers bet about something eugenics related.
https://freedomfox.substack.com/p/foxes-study-mouse-behaviors
You have absolutely no idea what the bet was about. It could have been whether Bill preferred the 16 year old blond Norwegian sex slave over the 14 year old Spanish one...or anything.
Anything Gates was involved with was evil and deadly. We know that for sure.
Trading Places, the movie, was very successful and profitable and is an icon of events in 1983, later in 1987 stock crash. The irony and message of the framed dollar bet, gambling, tied in with stock market manipulation and psychotic behavior as learned or inherited compliments Epstein and Gate’s foray into genetics and money laundering. I doubt it had anything to do with sex, but as an inside joke between them. Gates and Epstein’s rag to riches story epitomizes the use of psychotic predator behavior for them and some of those in the world’s leadership class.
That is how the Rothschilds took over the Bank England after Waterloo. Their coconut wireless was better than anyone else's, so after they knew Napoleon lost, they sold everything. Everybody followed them to the bottom. Then the Rothschilds bought up the stocks they wanted for pennies on the pound.
Just a minor correction, Roland; the Rothschilds STARTED the bank of England, and the bank of France, and the bank of Austria, and the bank of Italy, and the bank of Germany.
… and these were simply their first five banks
… you were right about the rest of it though
… interesting note: Soros got all his money by using the bank of England to screw the people out of their money
…just like the rothschilds did, go figure!
Yep, familiar with that part of history. Interesting how John Astor went down with Titanic too. 🤭
I read somewhere that Jeff Epstein was hired at the young age of 21 in ‘74 to teach math at an elite school in New York that was headed by AG Billy Barr’s daddy, where eventually, he was introduced to the CEO of Bear Stearns, by said CEO’s young daughter, who was one of Jeff’s ‘students’. Jeffrey was fired from the school and then hired by that CEO to work at Bear Stearns in ‘76
…go figure
You are well informed.
I'm thinking you might be a Treeper*, JD.

Another interesting connection to the movie Trading Places that is relevant for our times. The producer Aaron Russo. Who made a few other films (in addition to being connected to many Hollywood types and musicians), an important one being "From Freedom to Fascism", 2005:
https://archive.org/details/fromfreedomtofascismrusso
It will blow you away with 20/20 hindsight. In it he exposed how evil our government really is. He died of...cancer...two years after its release. Of course that's a coincidence.?. The first half of it was the film he started to make, looking into tax law legitimacy. But once he got filming it took him to the content in the second half. Which is where just how evil it is.
There's even a clip of Sen. Biden grilling John Roberts at his confirmation hearing about the constitutionality of ID chipping us. That whole Palintir, Neuralink Big Tech agenda, AI Data Center as infrastructure stuff.
Note: following the advice about not paying taxes is hazardous to one's freedom. As many who watched it back then found out. I'm sure our host Jeff Childers will vouch for that.
I stopped filing income tax forms in 2004 when I was employed by a major oil company. As a single person filer I raised the number of dependents to offset some of what was being deducted. Several years went by then I started getting nasty notes from the IRS. They evidently did an audit and sent me an invoice which I paid, then another followed, which I paid. Still I did not file. Finally they contacted the company’s HR department and had them reduce my withholding status to zero dependents to maximize the amount withheld and forbid any changes the number of dependents in an effort to make me file in order to get my money back. Still I did not file. So what I did is maximize my 401K withholding contributions to reduce the amount available to tax which netted a nice stash to add to an accepted offer for an early retirement bonus in 2012. Figured me not working there any more I could at least cut off their revenue stream. Suppose I cut off my nose too despite myself, but then that’s the price of ridding oneself of parasites. Went on to manage an RV park for 10 years that a friend owned that made him a millionaire when it was sold. I received my fair share of the proceeds when the deal closed. Finally I am retired and still don’t file a return no matter how many government programs are offered for free money or benefits in order to entice a filing or submit a copy of one to qualify.
I am familiar with Mr. Russo’s work and his conversation with a Rockefeller.
Current count says 36 people think more about my idea than your 3. When "no idea" = 12x your idea. The numbers themselves invalidate you. Your very existence. I dunno, those who suffer from having both small brain and small peepee sometimes are better off taking the easy way out of life. But, at present, you'd have to go to Canada for your MAiD.
Had to reread, your sarcasm font was missing.
Your idea fits under my idea nicely. Nobody said eugenicists aren't discriminating...they kinda are by definition.
Also wrong about that. It was not sarcasm, it was telling you you're clueless and also making a joke.
You originally responded:
[I actually have a pretty good idea. And presented it. Just because you don't like an idea doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Take your dismissive belligerence and shove it where the sun don't shine AT.]
Just because you imagine a fairy castle in the clouds doesn't make it real.
Was just trying to give a dumbfuck asshole the benefit of the doubt. Nope. Quite certainly a dumbfuck asshole. One in every crowd. Here's a bag of dicks for you to eat.
Subpoena Bill Gates...
I’m curious. I’ve never really looked into Epstein’s life, but if he wanted to seed future humanity, he would have needed to produce offspring, right?
I believe he did through sperm donations
Figures…
That's what the New Mexico ranch was set up for. Harvested eggs there, many reports from the young girls about being in dream state when felt it happening, surreal. But then learning it was real.
And not just to make in vitro Epstein babies this way. Was done for the wealthy, powerful elite.
Pretty sure Trump Jr. is a C&C reader.
@Based- I made Don, Jr. laugh once on Twitter- back when I was on it- and he actually commented and said he was going to use the phrase I used from now on. That was fun.
Well you can't just spill that and not tell us what the phrase was haha
@Monterey- HAHAHA! He was talking about something being 'close enough'. I told him "close enough is only good in horseshoes and hand grenades."
My brother used to say that!! 🥰
@Running- might be a WNY thing!
I think Jr. just looks at the pictures and watches the clips.
But Eric would read, digest and pass info along!
His daughter, Kai Trump, has a great youtube channel. She's very composed and obviously raised well. Credit to her folks.
All the Trump family is remarkably stable. Very impressed.
re: "And Trump has done it by himself." Good morning Mr President and Jeff, from sunny Arizona. If Jeff is not a senior adviser in the White House, he damn sure should be.
Yes, the President has done it by himself and with his imminently capable team! As most of us have from the beginning (not including the Portlanders and never-Trumper RINOs who periodically show up and need to get their spankings from Jeff and the rest of us), we must continue to pray for and support the President's initiatives 100%. He is indeed keeping his promises and Making America Great Again. We are blessed.
I think our dear President surrounded himself with a brilliant team during his four years in the desert and devised a brilliant and deliberate strategy that we see being deployed with disciplined precision. No happenstance. No luck. No knee jerk reactions. Jeff’s insights have been spot on and I have enjoyed every single minute of this new administration.
Reminds me a bit of the life of Moses: adopted Egyptian prince trying to save his people & driven into exile. Then the reprieve in the wilderness. Then a renewed & unstoppable (darn near supernatural) mandate to “Let my people go!”
I like the comparison, I have always believed President Trump was developed by God for decades and is an instrument of God's Perfect Will.
It goes back generations & spans several countries, in fact: his parents, grandparents, great grandparents & what they endured & overcame.
In God's time, the time between the crucifixion of Christ and the preparation and restoration of President Trump is a blink of the eye. Its interesting, the same type of corrupt bureaucrats who murdered Jesus also attempted to murder Trump. God had other plans. Im not saying that Trump is the second coming of Jesus, Im saying that God put Trump in place to find accountability for the same evil who murdered Jesus and several generations later stole the Country HE created to help overcome evil. Far-fetched? Not in this believer's mind.
Yes, Amen!
Jeff Childers > Rush Limbaugh. I’ve believed this since my first week of discovering the newsletter. All of Rush’s deep insight but with the addition of a litigator’s eye/perspective, trial experience, and brilliant humor as a free bonus.
* Go Jeff!
Agree.
I will second that.
Wow! Yes, we’ve been with Jeff and Coffee & Covid almost since it’s inception as well! We could almost say that C&C saved our marriage! 🥰🤣
C&C saved my sanity.
It was such an encouragement to me when it seemed like so many people were all in on the Covid measures to find Jeff and the C&C community, where people were seeing through all the lies! It helped give me hope and strengthened my resolve.
Jeff helped DH and I save our jobs!
He's reading it if he knows what's good for him. 😁
Well-said!
DJT is not only a master builder/developer he's a famously successful businessman. Can you imagine him NOT reading C&C??
I would like to see C & C syndicated in all of America’s daily newspapers!
1000% with you Nard… well framed. We’ve been with Jeff as you have since the C days and with President Trump since the “You’re Fired!” days at least.
✝️✝️✝️
Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law. Do this, knowing the time, that it is already the hour for you to awaken from sleep; for now salvation is nearer to us than when we believed. The night is almost gone, and the day is near. Therefore let us lay aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light.
— Romans 13:10-12 NAS95
✝️✝️✝️
It amazes me that after multiple readings of verses, passages, chapters, and books in the Bible over many years, a treasure like this leaps off the page and causes my spirit to soar.
Seriously amazing.
His word is living and active! 🙌
That sentence you highlighted (the night is almost gone…) affects me differently when it stands alone.
I so love His word.
Me too!
Thank you Janice ! I hope you know God sees and knows you are carrying His words in many dark places!! 🔥💜🌿🙏🦋🙌👑🙌☺️💥
“The day is near …”
Awaiting God’s intervention in our world fostering hope and an urgency to repent and live according to His law.
Amen. Thank you, Janice!
“The night is almost gone, and the day is near.” Hallelujah!!
My church is in the book of Romans now! Chapter 11 this week. Only take 15 years to get through the Bible. Check us out online. Athey Creek Church. We had a huge crusade last weekend. Was fantastic
I’m so glad to see this! I’ve been tuning in to Athey Creek since a friend in ID was watching when I stayed with her for a visit. Love and hugs from the Peoples Republic of Washington State❤️
I was there! It was an awesome Crusade!
Which night? I was lucky to see both nights plus volunteer
My son and his family went on Saturday night and asked if my husband and I wanted to go with them on Sunday night. It was wonderful watching my grandkids worship !
You're fortunate to have Pastor Brett! I listen to him often. Solid, timely teaching!
Waiting with great anticipation! Come Lord Jesus, come!
I just emailed a friend yesterday about the fact that Christians need to wake up to the seriousness of the situation we are in. We had been discussing AI and its possible dangers. It may be a tool for good in some situations, but I believe it is more dangerous than we can imagine. I refuse to engage with it. Technology is never benign. Just my two cents.
And it says something very specific to us now if we have ears to hear and eyes to see!
"...The night is almost gone, and the day is near. Therefore let us lay aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light..."
I do believe Paul's words meant something very specific to those whom he was addressing at that point of time in history just as Jesus meant something very specific to those who listened to and heeded His warnings about what was to come. Thus "The night is almost gone, and the day is near."
Put on the Armour of light!❤️
Yes 🙌 Amen 🙏
I am constantly sending C&C information to my Senators. I have suggested that they have someone in their staff read and report.
I think members of The Five read, as well💗.
Gutfeld!
I'm guessing Dana and Jesse too!
Well, hope so.
Now that is an excellent idea. TN elected officials all need to read C&C. On it!!
Senators will read nothing unless prodded by a contribution or two.
Probably but I have got to try. It’s low effort on my part
Hope it eventually bears fruit.
That would assume that they are literate. Never assume anything.
It me never assumption.
Some of the women I forward it to say they can’t read because it hurts their eyes . Shrug 🤷♀️
Wow. That’s great. You are doing your part. Thank you
Great idea! I never thought of that! Georgia senators Congress etc will be getting them from me! 🦋💥🙌👑🙌💜🔥🙏🙏🙏

You don't need a driver's license to buy liquor. A state ID or passport will work. And many of us here are old enough that we need neither.
😃
😅🤣😂
Tri...I'm a dummy, teeth and skeleton?
I definitely think some variety of advisors around Trump are reading Coffee and Covid! You’re shaping history here and we’ve able to be a small part of it as the C&C army! 👏
Patriots in the Trump administration are definitely reading substacks. I know quite a few. Welcome to anon poster occupied government ;)
Maybe some of those can steer Trump away from going after Thomas Massie.
Massie is all blow and no show, so there’s that.
It's kind of hard to get things done in congress when you are literally one of like 3 people who have morals and ethics. Don't belittle people who are actually decent and are trying to represent their constituents rather than the donor class.
But sometimes you have to compromise. I get that he doesn’t want to but his MO is throw the baby out with the bathwater. That doesn’t help
You say that, but when push comes to shove, he votes with the rest. He’s fooled you.
That’s patently false, as proven by voting against the idiotically named big beautiful bill
Siding with the Dems as usual.
What? He often has not voted with the rest. In particular on the subject that got us all here -covid - he did not vote with the RINOs.
I live in KY and voters are turning on Massie. He is coming off like John McStain. He appears to think he’s more intelligent than anyone else, and he stinks.
Ugh - this makes me sad to read.
He seems to me the only decent person in the place
Jasmine, I agree.
Typical libertarian.
You’re right. Massie is a libertarian. And there’s not a thin dime of difference between a libertarian and a demonicRAT.
He had me fooled for a few months, but no more.
This kind of partisanship blinds us.
He votes against bs. He voted against Republican bs and he votes against Dem bs.
Libertarians are to the right of the right and the left of the left. They’re definitely not democrats. !
Thanks Yuri, good to know!
That is good news!
Are any of these anon posters seen in this comments section? That would be awesome!
Yeah, I think Trump did get it from C&C because you both spelled Light (i.e., Lite) wrong in Bud Light. 😉
Yes! I caught that too! It was a bit weird. I went back to make sure I had it spelled right in my comment 😂
One can hope that someone in Trumps camp is reading all this!!! 🙌
Right, Bud does spell it that way, Miller spells it Lite!! Never noticed before, but I never drank Bud....Miller Lite is my "go to"!
Which reminds me of the time a judge let off a dad who provided Miller Lite to his underage son’s party, because, after all, it wasn’t ‘real’ beer!
🤣
Miller makes “Lite” beer (tastes great! Less filling!) Mom & Dad owned a bar & grill during my formative years 🍻😋
The light at the end of the funnel...
Light at the end of the yard-glass! It's a tradition when you turn 21 😉
I will accept the challenge, as soon as I turn 21...
Or empty can
DJT’s did say lite. 🤷♀️
It’s Bud Light 😉
Yep, and it should be Light, right?
There are no coincidences, maybe Donald and Edward are the same?
Jeff, your prose is positively brilliant. And I thought *I* was a writer:
"Even more exciting, we can rationally expect the large new investments to cluster in friendly red states, where permitting, taxes, and politics are all aligned. The anti-growth blue states, meanwhile, are likely to watch from the sidelines— hobbled by climate compliance mandates, union entanglements, bureaucratic bloat, and the irresistible compulsion to slap ESG strings on every shovelful of dirt."
Thank you so much for these daily works of art!
Oh this just gets more fun!
I HOPE Trump reads C&C, I know a LOT of people are doing so, I see quotes all over the net that I know where they came from.
Keep up the great work Mr Childers, you are influencing the world by your words, and doing it beautifully :D
I think the "proof" that President Trump reads your Coffee & Covid is that you both made the EXACT same error calling it "Bud Lite" .... whereas the correct way is Bud Light ! Only Miller uses the "Lite" spelling ..... just saying ......
Good catch!
They both spelled it wrong on purpose!!!!
yeah, maybe that was Trump tipping his hat!
Love the closing reference to Tom Clancy’s now classic Hunt for Red October - we are truly living in epic - and epochal - times!
I was thinking the same. All those movies I watched snd books I read; I am now living.
I was thinking that recently too! Only in real life it’s far more nerve-wracking than a movie because the outcome isn’t known and can potentially be catastrophic. The movie will come to an acceptable conclusion in approx 2 hours.
Let’s skip the one with Ebola…
Agree and so true
After listening to Rainbow Six via Audio Book CDs, I am amazed that more people don't bring up that book as a harbinger of All Things COVID.
I will look it up
And let’s not forget it’s plot. Trump deployed two nuclear submarines near Russia. Things are heating up.
Being famous, powerful, socially well connected and rich beyond belief doesn't make you elite....it makes you a dirtbag....potentially. Holier than thou complex, ego, boredom, mutant values, distorted view of reality, unmitigated and unchecked lust, etc...a recipe for monumental disaster. Epstein, Diddy, and those of similar ilk, are seriously whack.
Woody and his daughter (wife) were invited to a dinner without food? and then ALWAYS went back each time for the spectacle of Epstein and his revolving guest-list of interesting types, coaching Jeffery and his staff to be a better host in regard to type and quality and quantity of FOOD being provided to those at the table. So clearly sharing Conversations and "connections" were the main aim of this Predator's Castle, so very seductive that The Allens were eager and frequent guests. I still don't see any direct extortion or blackmailing going on...where's the "Do THIS or else" results that came out of any of this? It appears more of a Perverts' Clique Club of Congeniality where all the sordid and salacious gathered excitedly for affirmation, approval and reinforcement of reprobate living and influence over their own spheres of life and human interactions away from their Coven of debauched exploitative and frequent forays of the various compliant teen "brides" within the lecher's lair. I suppose the Lex Wexler $80 million property transferred to his close pal Jeff E. may be an example of "pay up or else".
You are assuming that the FOOD at these dinners was the actual thing Woody was talking about.
I think its possible that Woody Allen was actually critiquing something entirely different, and using descriptions of the comestibles as something of a code.
Re-reading the note with a mind to sexual-deviant appetites for indulgences (Catered Chinese buffet and getting in line to help one's self), appetizers first-then main dish, flowers arranged in middle of table, then the odd terminology of "Normal, Civil, dining" as to paste these terms upon a shared group-experience that is the furthest thing from what they were participating in. You're on to them by reading between his lines, Astute, EXCELLENT work Dolce!
That actually makes way more sense.
True to form - pizzagate, anyone? Bride of Dracula - Soon Yi would know!
perhaps GROOMED from an early age to explore and unleash unrestrained erotic urges and reap the rewards of being willingly used by insatiable powerful men/women, and then, to in turn leverage, exploit, and use young people in like manner when opportunities are created, and foster a continuance of such outlook, behavior, and titillating taboo lifestyle.
That’s what popped into my mind, Sweet. Like the performance dinner by Marina Abramovic at LA’s MOCA Gala in 2009, where they brought a naked “woman” out on a table and started slicing her up for dessert, starting at her crotch. I kid you not. You won’t believe this story and photos: https://observer.com/2011/11/losing-our-appetites-marina-abramovics-moca-gala/#slide1
😳😳😳
Oh that would definitely make sense!
no specific mentions of extravagant sweet sticky desserts, of biting into un-ripened fruit, undercooked rare morsels of meat, slurping savory sauces, raw juicy oysters requiring forcing open of the shells? The House Favorite, the Chef's Surprise, the Nightly Specials....Woody is apparently quite enamored with the "meals" and those serving them, and is enjoying poking at Jeff E.'s odd hospitality and sinister method of hosting guests in the birthday letter.
What we need is for a west coast state with salt water ports to get their heads screwed back on right.
Between the 3 of them, California, Oregon and Washington are massive barriers to the better part of the West.
Oregon has had Vote by Mail since the 90's. We're trying to vote out this atrocity in our next election....
Once again this is all theater to cover for the shenanigans going on in the Beltway. Geezer Chuck Grasley and another GOP senator from Utah put a hold on several of Trump’s treasury nominees. They want the “Green greed” left in the OBBB. They want to keep solar and wind subsidies in place. Did they ask the people of Iowa and Utah if that is what they want?
No. They never ask. Rubbing their fingers for the money in it for them.
Valdimir Putins secret 22 year old daughter is rich and spoiled to the max and has now publicly lashed out at him. Not a smart move if you ask Me. new York post had the story yesterday
Wealth just lets you be terrified in comfortable surroundings.
Not wanting to sound like an old fogie (spelling?), I tried not to complain about the crap digital music and the movies with all the same plot, fearing I would be a "good old days" old person, but you, Counsel filled in the missing piece. We have been stagnant since the late 70's. Let us hope this is the beginning of the ice breaking.
My early 60's husband and I are both rock/metal fans and go to a lot of live shows. Have read/heard/seen a fair amount of commentary in the rock press, bloggers, etc, regarding new music and the relative lack of 'must see' bands in the last 20 years. In all fairness, some of this is likely attributable to all of the digital channels making every genre known to man available at the touch of a button vs our options: saving babysitting money to go to the record store to buy the latest hot albums and calling the radio station to request our favorite song. Lots more choices out there. Just as there are lots of channels on TV so not those shows that 'everyone' watched - like Dallas, Seinfeld, All in the Family, etc. But name a rock act that formed in the last 20 years that sells out auditoriums. Jelly Roll, maybe. MOST of the newer bands are not memorable. My hubby likes some of them but I am mostly 'meh'. Maybe I am just 'old' but for most of the A list band concerts we go to they are pretty much an all ages show - it's not all grey hairs in the audience.
But this then takes me to unity - the things we could all gather and commiserate about are becoming few and far between. Went to a neighborhood barbecue a few weeks ago and most of the people were younger than us. A lot of popular culture stuff was lost to me and small talk around commonalities was a struggle. Oh there's the weather, funny stuff the kids said or did, or the new restaurant in town but seemed like there were more topics either off limits (politics, news, religion, etc) in a mixed crowd than there were topics either relevant to a large number of people or acceptable to chat about casually. Of course there were the 'I know someone who has cancer...' conversations. (that hubby gave me the 'don't go there' look)
Did you read Laurel Canyon - or Chaos - about CIA & LSD instigating the hippy movement & early rock? Staggering!
Yes! Went down that rabbit hole a few years ago. Of course a lot of those acts pre-date me. I was HS class of '83. But does make you wonder if we have not been 'programmed' to follow some of the more popular acts of the day. Never got into the Doors and some of those other bands from the Canyon though.
I think it explains why the supposed ‘rebels’ (baby boomers) against tradition are in fact the most compliant to the government: the ‘rebellion’ was a govt psy op!
scratched the surface myself but never deeply dove. Interesting stuff
Read Laurel Canyon but couldn’t finish library digital Chaos before it expired. May have to buy the book so I can read at my pace and highlight.
Let's not forget Canadian company ClearChannel bought up the majority of American local radio stations and then shut them down to create a monopoly of streaming radio which we now are saturated with.
Complain away. How else will the younger ones realize that their culture is missing something?
Play some Santana?lol

Send me back to the 70's, my teenage years.
I long for the sixties when I was a teen. Overall, that was the high point of American culture. It's been nothing but a slide downhill ever since. To get a feel for it, all one has to do is review the movies of the sixties compared to the trash produced since.
I would add the seventies.
exactly.
It was actually the last dregs of our culture, still looking & sounding pretty decent even in decay! The moment before an evil agenda began to squeeze the life out of us in earnest!
It was also the time of the last nationwide revival that we have seen.
The high point of our culture was in fact reached several hundred years ago: art music literature architecture etc have all descended gradually from the mid second millennium since Christ - trailing the drift away from sound theology imo.
In terms you are talking about, I agree. My comment was from a more provincial perspective. The church's drift away from sound theology is profound and today's American church has no idea of how far they have drifted.
As a child of the ‘60’s, I share your nostalgia, Phil! Little did we know what lay in store - nor recognize from whence we’d already fallen.
My parents, grandparents, neighbors & schoolteachers, doctors, shopkeepers, friends were all overwhelmingly Christian. My church was a genuine multigenerational extended family. The love of God was the fabric of society!
The lure of the modern, post WWII technology & styles had its charm - but we were still blessed by tradition.
We had no notion of the twisted experiment we would soon undergo!
“You can have all this world - give me Jesus!” Anything good in this life is surely drawn from His veins.
I look forward to a fabulous reunion in heaven.
Someone I knew as a kid once said: "we grew up at the best of times (70s), in the best of places (suburbs of Chicago where we could run free), and we had the best of parents. (Jack and Lorrie Knox for me).
"Let us hope this is the beginning of the ice breaking."
Needed : One ice pick and a wooden mallet ! Also long tube which through critical thinking can be inserted , while sucking out the entitlement and mental/physical laziness of the facebook addicted generation(s) .
and the final touch ...... a good dose of heart and soul
amen
Jeff, with your stellar reputation I wouldn’t be at all surprised if C&C was required reading in the White House.
Re: “influence, or just convergence, what do you think?” - I think it’s “a God thing”!!
Praise our sovereign triune God, who is moving ALL of history to His appointed conclusion. How exciting to be living through it!
Amen!
Exciting & hair-raising: to be witnessing how spiritually gutted, shallow & depraved we become absent a nationwide awareness of Christ. 😢
All the "cool people" read Coffee and Covid. The coolest ones subscribe and assist in compensating you for your hard work. I would like to encourage those who aren't yet subscribers to do so. If not by subscription, then just a one time contribution. Every little bit helps.
I say this on here often, but you can send Jeff a monthly set amount through one of his links at the bottom of his posts even if the full amount of a subscription is too much of a challenge for you. I do this, and unfortunately still can’t read Sunday, but I’m fine with that. Jeff deserves to get paid for what he produces.
Jeff is amazingly generous with his content. How many other writers produce six days a week for free and allow comments from unpaid subscribers as well?
1Timothy 5:18 A workman is worthy of his hire. the phrase highlights the principle of supporting those who are actively involved in ministry or service. It emphasizes the responsibility of the community to provide for those who are working on their behalf.
I think, of all people, Jeff would understand that some of us have 4 kids in private parochial school and what that does to disposable income......like some kind of reverse child tax karma credit.
It would be great if he would like this comment to assuage my Catholic guilt. Alas, dreams.
I suspect Jeff is doing fine. No need for guilt.
Guilt and Conscience are a blessing. Internal barometer when we are over our skis in life.
Some of us just have more sensitive instruments. Like it courses through our veins.
It does bother me in waves honestly. Then "SQUIRREL" and on to the next bill.
What you are doing for your four children is a treasure beyond measure. Jeff would certainly understand and encourage that use of money first and foremost. Our three were blessed with this opportunity and our sacrifice. Top notch kids well developed with moral bearings and high standards and aspirations. Money well spent!
Valerie you can subscribe for one month only, pay the $50 and have access to archive too, plus get your 4 Sundays. Then cancel. So Jeff gets compensation and you get something extra too. I do this from time to time. I did sign up for 2 full years as well but sometimes I feel guilty spending that much rather than saving for my kids.
That’s an interesting idea.
The Sundays are extra good. I signed up for one year paid in full like $500, and cancelled at 11 months so it wouldn’t auto renew, and I was surprised I was actually refunded for that last Month and cancelled instantly. So I’m pretty sure you can cancel anytime, maybe even with the month by month at $50.
I pledged $11.00 a month ….+ the bank service cost! I so enjoy Jeff’s learned & succinct analysis, just cannot pay mucho dollars ! Thanks so much for allowing me to discount your talent.
