“C&C’s comments section is one of the best on Substack.”
I’ve been reflecting on this from yesterday’s post. I truly believe of all the Substacks - Jeff Childer’s C&C posts AND the comments are overwhelmingly informative. I’ve learned so much from the C&C army.
This Substack is the one thing I read religiously. I no longer watch the news and rely on THIS Substack’s daily roundup and comments to inform me.
I’m grateful to you, Jeff, as I’m sure the rest of the C&C army is for this Substack. I never thought I’d want to read an attorney’s POV, but you’ve help interpret so much for us the past 3 years. It’s been invaluable.
Thank you from a very grateful fellow Floridian!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️
I feel exactly the same way. If I only have a few minutes, Jeff’s Substack is the one I read and the one I will share to friends as well. The summary and wicked humor all wrapped up in a tidy package, love it. Plus I like the comments and comraderie of the C & C army. Feels like a community.
Yes, yes, yes, - had that with my eggs this morning while reading. There is no better comfort food than peanut butter and jam (spicy red pepper jelly for me) and toasted real sour dough bread. Yummy!!!
Yes but at 6 am to have such hard Belly laughs that take the energy I got from sleeping last night is making me want to go back to bed! Jeff is an amazing writer!!
I feel absolutely the same way. Not only have I learned about podcasts and important studies from the C and C army, I also found out about some things that have had a direct impact on my life, like breast thermography and AlgaeCal supplements. Thank you, Jeff, because you've attracted a large army of intelligent, informed citizens through your wonderful daily posts.
Just do you know, thermogram did NOT find my cancer. I had invasive lobular. And it is very hard to detect. I would not rely on thermogram alone. Ultrasound would be wise to add.
It's not possible to like💗 this comment enough. With that said, I have sent C&C's newsletter to many family and friends, but to my surprise (and frustration) it has gained little traction. I deduced that many people don't want to be informed, and also lack a sense of humor. Lawyers' should thank Jeff for bringing newfound respect to their profession. P.S. I'm a Californian...don't be fooled by the press as there are many [many] conservative-minded people still here fighting the good fight.
Speaking of respect, I was just reflecting this morning how much I used to trust and respect medical professionals, and now I’m taking advice from lawyers, who I never trusted or respected in the past. It’s almost comical.
Conservative Californian right here. Yep, there are a lot more of us than people think.
I have also shared C&C with many friends and family. Most have joined in, but a few refuse to even acknowledge anything outside the MSM narrative. You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make them drink.
I totally agree - this is the only one I read every day and it's the only one where I read the comments and I too have learned a lot from the C&C Army members. It's an awesome community. Have an awesome day, Cheers!
I completely agree! I read C & C every day. Jeff is my only news source these days because I love the dash of humor and any other news source makes me depressed. Thank you, Jeff!
Randi, I wholeheartedly agree. My cable connection failed yesterday, but with Coffee and Covid I think I'll be fine without it. May have to watch golf on my phine, though.
This column and the comments have done much to improve my outlook on life. Plus, I love getting suggestions for TV shows to watch. One of our favorites was the Jeff recommendation, “Goliath” on Amazon. Season 1 was excellent, season 2 and 3 were difficult to watch but we had to watch them all to get to the best . . . Season 4. It was AWESOME! The language is perfectly awful but the story is riveting. We also watched “Rabbit Hole” as suggested in several comments. I almost had a heart attack during every episode but it was really good!
Everything RandiG said and more. I sometimes get behind and will delete all emails but not Coffee & COVID until I read them. Thank you so much Jeff for your wonderful explanations and your point of view on all the news! Keep up the great work!
And are y’all pushing a pro Ukrainian propaganda point? It’s a mess that she ever have begun. Someone said it was avoidable by one sentence; no NATO for Ukraine
Nato would mean peace. Notice how Russia has invaded Georgia, Moldova, and Ukraine but not Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia, 4 nations they claim still belong to Russia as colonies.
Had Ukraine been in nato there would be no war because Russia can't handle Nato. They can't even handle Ukraine right now.
Fact of the matter is Russia expected a short war and the west to simply roll over and accept it. They even declared Victory on day 2 of the war on February 26th, 2022.
Don't beleive us, check the facts. Russia lost their flagship to Ukrainian missiles in april of 2022. They have been struggling and finally took bakhmut and soledar after 10 months of fighting. That's not something that happens to a first rate military like Jeff and others claim.
And right now the offensive that Jeff said wouldn't happen is currently happening and making good gains and driving Russia back.
You are the biggest retard on here. You are so stupid that you don't even realize that the CIA and MI6 WANT the Ukraine proxy war. Seriously, are this incredibly stupid, or do you have some money on the grift?
So if Xi put troops, missiles, tanks, and bio-weapons labs across the border in Mexico Sloppy Joe would do nothing...mm-k.
(Actually Joe B would probably build the bases for Xi, but that's bc he is a degenerate scumbag traitor).
The key is to review the uncensored sources of information. US/NATO were entirely unprepared because for 30 years they have executed a counterinsurgency strategy and capability. Instead of an actual battlefield adversary they faced only roadside bombs, goat herders with flintlocks, and homemade missiles from Hezbollah.
And I'd note that even in those cases, the goat herders and Hezbollah won.
Add that to the fact that their job is to prolong and lose wars, not win them and go home. That would be a complete disaster for their P/Ls. Kind of like pharma making you healthy: a catastrophe.
So I'm forced to endure the thought of my father spinning in his grave, with my hard earned dollars going to fund soldiers with actual swastikas on their arms. He was Dutch, wrote an anti-Nazi play, and ended up in a Nazi prison. But I suppose you'll deny that our "ally" is nothing but a bunch of Banderites?
All to protect the infinitely corrupt wannabe dictator in the White House and his financial crimes. A man who hates America and everything she stands for.
BTW what you find in the uncensored information stories are war crimes so horrific as to be almost unrepeatable here. Children, body parts, and UN NGOs. Hey and there's an app where you can buy whichever form of torture of captured Russian soldiers you want. So sorry, ANY defense of this evil is abhorrent. We need PEACE, which means we need TRUMP.
My youngest is fighting her own mini-war with the jab-pushers on church youth choir and missions tour this week. (In San Francisco, which I know has turned itself into an huge missions field, but I think an idiotic place to take a church youth group.) Our welcoming-and-affirming-to-all church apparently draws the line at the great unjabbed. She’s being excluded from a performance at a hospital that required proof of vax from every singer and from several missions sites. No stigmatization there! I told her to just think ahead to the day 5 to 20 years from now when she still has her fertility, hasn’t died from a stroke, and probably won’t have anything to do with most of those blue Kool-Aid drinkers anymore, but I’d appreciate your prayers this week too as she learns a big lesson about the way this world works.
Time to give the boot to a church that would go anywhere that vax is required and exclude their own members who didn’t jab???? I would question them! They are ok with this? 🤔 And all of their youth and members going are all vaxxed? 🤔 Is your daughter standing alone in this? If so, it says enough about them too eh?
Oh, that day is coming — she wants to finish out senior year at the church she grew up in with her friends, which I understand. It has changed a lot since we joined 25 years ago, as has Dallas. Her wanting to be there is the only reason my husband and I haven’t left yet. Re: standing alone, not completely— I was told there would be a “handful” of others she could “hang out” with during the hospital performance. She’s literally the best singer in that choir, so they’re all missing out by excluding her.
I understand that. Being that you’ve gone there for so long…I would suggest letting the leadership/Pastor know why you are leaving the church when you do so. 🤷♀️ These woke pastors need to hear how badly they missed the truth. It does no good to just stop going. They need to be face to face with the truth. IMHO.
I do hope your daughter manages to have a good experience with her friends.
I have come to see these types of situations as- God is moving your daughter away from these people and influences… and maybe if you frame it this way… she can see it as a personal blessing in her life. God has something else in store for your child.
We had this experience at our church recently. My middle school son refused to be confirmed. I was very upset by this, all my other kids were confirmed there, our extended family is all there… well during the pandemic our church became a ‘reconciling church’ - all in on the whole LGBTQ agenda… now I am very grateful that this influence is not in my child’s face, him being indoctrinated -through the church
There are numerous Bible passages that condemn causing division within the church body (as opposed to calling out clear sinful behavior). Assuming it's a biblical church how can a pastor justify dividing the body into vaccinated and unvaccinated? What is his biblical authority for doing so particularly in light of the Bible's clear prohibition on doing this?
If the pastor cannot justify his actions with unambiguous scripture (compared to saying something nebulous like it's what Jesus would have wanted) then I would think that's a pretty clear sign that it's time to move on. The signs are everywhere, we need to be firmly grounded in God's Word and attending churches that uncompromisingly adhere to it.
Pastors cannot implement things that violate God's Word because it makes them feel good, they do not have that authority. I'd give him a chance to explain himself but if it doesn't pass the test of scripture then it's time to separate the wheat from the chaff.
Good advice Jeff. End times and the apostate church, read all about it. Test as the Bereans did. If I may, work on a relationship with Jesus, then find a church that re-enforces that relationship.
I'll add one more bit of advice for everyone. Purchase Bibles, the paper kind. I prefer New King Jimmy. Once AI starts re writing scripture all truth will be lost.
Indeed. Even if the pastor genuinely and seriously believes someone is wrong and that the jabs are a good thing, there are verses clearly saying to accommodate to the "weaker" (as he sees it) brother, whose conscience does not allow them to partake (originally, of "idol meat"; today, of vaccines).
I can understand that. My husband and I watched our youngest son's high school graduation on a Friday and moved out of Oregon at 7 o'clock the next morning. We practically sang all the way across the country.
we left a denomination we went to for over 30 years because they made a hard left turn. We never regretted leaving. In fact, we found a terrific, Bible-based church north of Dallas that is a 2 Timothy 3:16-17 church. My only regret is that we didn't leave sooner.
This occurred to me while reading this thread - what if - she's strengthening relationships on this trip- ans then when she leaves the church - she encourages others to do the same? God can absolutely use her (and you too of course!) to lead others out of that confused church. ❤️
Please try to re-think some of this. Like ... what comes first. Glorification of God or our worldly wants? Does the end [singing] justify the means [staying in a Woke or semi-Woke Church]? And then this the example set that it is okay to 'cut corners' on matters of principle. Thus, it's not simply a matter of what 'they're all missing out on by excluding her'. It is more what you are missing out by staying stuck in the mud of bad compromise.
We have all been there where you are with things like this. Most of us have done things we are not very proud of, to say the least. And it appears to be impossible to get through life without having made bad decisions that one later regrets. And it is double, triple hard to make the hard decision trusting the Lord that better things are yet to come after having made the right difficult choice.
I wish I could have said this in a better way, but as it is ... I am not sufficient enough to do so.
I see where you’re coming from and if it were just me, I would have left long ago. But after everything my child’s generation has had taken from them in the name of “even one life,” I’m not willing to alienate her by forcing her to leave or skip choir tour. She’s a minor, is aware of the choice she’s making, and is s already paying a price as it is, for choices other adults in her life, including myself, are making.
I totally get it, but maybe she would be better off not being indoctrinated by a church that bows to the enemy. I don’t know exactly where you live, but Pastor Dustin Bates of Church 1132 in Dallas area is on the board of our church here in SoCal. He actually preached at our church a few weeks ago and brought an awesome message about The Battle Beyond the Battle, when Elisha’s servant could only see in the natural and couldn’t see the armies of heaven. Our church Oceans, only closed for a short while and never closed again and have been meeting in tents ever since our governor became Dictator Newsom. The church has exploded ever since and last month we had the largest water baptism in US history. Having the pastors who aren’t afraid of man has made a huge difference in my life.
We left a church we had been going to for 10 years...2.5 years ago. My daughter was 15.
I understand you're wanting her to get to finish with her friends...but it's clear that the church and its influences are NOT on the sane page as you and your daughter. And you may want to reconsider the exposure to that v. Getting to have fun. Pray on it!
You would hypothetically separate her from the church if you had to move for a job right? Her morale and being influenced by people who don't share your values is much more important than a job, but not worth separation?
Momming/ dad-ing is hard these days, being a teen is even harder. Praying that no matter your decision that protection from these influences is given ! 🙏
This situation is also teaching your daughter to stand strong in her beliefs (a very hard thing for a teenager to do). Sounds like it's building her backbone! And showing her that standing up for the right thing isn't always easy and sometimes comes with sacrifices. She's also a good example for others!
I’d rather not say, but it has become one of the best-known “welcoming and affirming” churches in the area -- lots of media coverage for various reasons.
It’s hard enough for us as adults to stand against the pressures of this weaponized empathy being thrust upon us, which is a form of psychological warfare. It’s 10x harder for young people, while their character and integrity is still being developed.
All of us as parents or adult role models need to stand strong against the propaganda for our own sake but much more for the sake of future generations.
Wow, I and a strong, two arms full load of mRNA rejecting Christians who live here in SF would be thrilled to sing with her outside the hospital(s) she's visiting. Only problem is organizing that on the spur of the moment, but our hearts and the Holy Spirit are with her on her tour, and may the Lord somehow intervene in this upside down, exclusive ban of her participation. It is embarrassing to say the very least.
Well, the hospital does set the rules, but it still seems odd that any place for missions work would require that sort of proof otherwise. However, it _is_ CA so .... But really, why would any church in TX be pushing this on their mission trips or at least not publishing those requirements up front so people can choose not to go? We were just up in OKC for our mission work, cleaning up after the tornadoes and singing - no masks, even at nursing homes (though there was a sign on one door that was just ignored by almost everyone). We toured a rehab hospital as well - no masks required, let alone experimental injections.
I get wanting to stay at the church you grew up with, but man - that's just crazy stuff, especially for a TX church.
Sadly, too many CA refugees in TX I suppose. Can't fathom why people move away from s-hole places to escape and then push the same policies that made their escape necessary from their last address. See the same thing here where our formerly solid red suburb is being infiltrated by the refugees from s-hole KC and have turned it purple on a good day. Of course I am constantly nagging my conservative friends whose activism extends to complaining on FB to get more involved, but bitching is easier.
Yes, we get a lot of wealthy, lefty Cali refugees or employees of CA companies that have moved here (Tesla, Toyota). The dynamic is exactly as you describe.
And they come in with CA real estate values $ and jack up the housing prices wherever they move. My sister and hubby are lonely conservatives in So Cal and I wonder if CA real estate prices are going to stay propped up long enough that when they retire in ~3 years they will be able to sell at the crazy values that still seems to be holding up at this point. Have not decided if they will stay or move, but they have friends who are happy with their exodus to TX.
You all would be surprised at the number of social conservatives who still live in the SoCal. Honestly, we're busy adding to our numbers by speaking truth to anyone who will listen. Just yesterday a friend got in a conversation with the gas meter reader...who left excited to have found a kindred spirit. Don't discount us. We're here and we haven't rolled over. ;)
Yes, they found some Trump rallies to attend, and there are pockets of sanity in San Bernadino county where they live. But she volunteered for the recall Newsom campaign only to see it ballot harvested into oblivion. Says if a R is ahead on election night, they always end up 'finding' more votes to defeat them days later. Our system is not perfect in MO but our elections are certified before CA even finishes counting. Local elections all counts are usually 100% of precincts reporting by the 10 PM news.
Yes. I’ve sent her articles for her back pocket about how the CDC and CMS aren’t even requiring it FOR CLINICAL STAFF anymore. And of course the one Jeff linked to last week about the 50K Cleveland Clinic employees who were more likely to get the ‘vid if boosted.
And some of the missions sites. It is something you’re more likely to see in CA than many other states, and I think the church should have recognized and planned better for the difficulties choosing CA for tour would present for youth and their families.
I would never let my child go to San Fransicko! I was “fired” (forced retirement) 2 years ago from The City. I refused the testing/jab after 23 years, and my bf after 17 years! I’m a 3rd generation SFer.
SF IS SODDAM AND GOMORRAH! Her angels protected her! Let her know she is in very good company with many! ✝️✝️✝️💕
I can sort of understand the church rules before we all knew the jabs were ineffective and unsafe. But now?! 2021 called and wants its misinformation back.
Yes, and I’m supposed to sacrifice my child’s health and life to support your virtue-signaling and appease your irrational fears of catching a cold? No thanks!
Send her over to Hyde St Pier national park - my daughter is volunteering on restoring the historic sailing ships with a crew of Sea scouts - no vaccines required!
Only CV jabs. Not one single question about more relevant health issues, especially while being housed in college dorms, like meningitis and pneumonia vax, or hepatitis status. Or mono — which her assigned roommate who’s giving her a hard time actually has!
I'll jump in again. With the massive influx of 3rd world immigrants covid is the least of the diseases to watch for. TB and polio are on the uptick. Lice, cholera, measles. I will only go to a hospital for a traumatic injury, and getting staff may kill me anyway. It sounds like your daughter will stay away from STD's, good job mom, but as Jeff mentioned, stay away from the SF festivals. I can only guess that these diseases are the penalty for the life style we are living.
There's someone on the planet who still thinks that the vaccines work? And against variants that no longer exist ? Would having taken the original 2 shots against the ancestral & Delta variants that haven't been around for 1-1/2 years be acceptable - even though now they are outlawed ? They've lived in the world, caught Covid six times, take 2 shots and 3 boosters and ....... come to what conclusion exactly ?
Oh man, Laguna Honda is a snake pit. Decades ago I took a nursing assistant course through a community college in SF, and we did a rotation there. We were told we couldn't say anything or speak out when the nurses were punching the patients. I can't imagine that it's any better now. I remember a nurse who was supposed to be wearing isolation PPE to come into a room, and she winked and just lifted up her plastic apron, no doubt spreading whatever infectious disease the patient had. Can't remember now lol.
How long before someone digs up a Hotez/Epstein connection? He sports all the hallmarks of a Creepasarus. Violating positions of trust seems to fill alot of pages of the playbook with these whack jobs. Pediatrician?!....Run fast, run far! Put unwavering trust in establishment officials at your own peril.
Something really doesn't make sense with him. They could not have picked a less-photogenic individual, the guy is a mess. He's physically unhealthy, dresses like a slob, and can't be bothered to groom himself. Yet this is who the media, the medical establishment, and academia held up as a wise leader that we aren't allowed to question?
I don't usually think too much about people's appearances, not everyone was born attractive after all. However, being a slob is different. There are basic steps anyone can easily take to make themselves *presentable* that cost almost nothing except a little time. Seriously, the rest of us have to look at him, he's all over the TV, yet he still can't be bothered? It's like mowing the lawn. You may not care what your lawn looks like but at least do it for your neighbors who have to look at it.
People who can't be bothered to make themselves look presentable are telling us they don't care what others think. It's a sign of arrogance and self-centeredness in my experience, which puts them in the untrustworthy column until proven otherwise.
Hell, Fetterman recently stood on a public stage with POTUS wearing shorts and a hoodie. I think your mistake is giving too much credit to the left. Have you taken a good look lately at the lefties in charge? They're all mostly very unattractive people.
There's a difference between ugliness that's an accident of birth and just being a slob. Fetterman may not be the most attractive guy but he looks infinitely better in a suit and tie than he does in his hobo attire. Yet he chooses to dress that way.
The most likely explanation is that he dresses that way out of his contempt for others. And he's been doing it long before his recent stroke.
Yes the fact that he did it before his stroke is telling. After a stroke sometimes people have difficulty with everyday actions like getting dressed and certain types of clothing are just easier to put on, so I might’ve given him a pass on it. But clearly he already didn’t care about his presentation well before that happened.
He should NEVER have been appointed senator! PA has no representation in the Senate. (What-about-Bob Casey is as useless as a glass hammer and always has been!)
My friends and I were just talking about this the other day, regarding a lot of people's inclination to just look sloppy. Seeing things from people going to WalMart in their pajamas, to what passes for church attire, we were lamenting that it just looks like people don't care. I suppose part of it is that we all grew up in the 80's, where John Malloy's 'Dress for Success' was pounded into our heads as gospel by our HS and college teachers. I am not super crazy, but in the last few years I have been to several client meetings where I am hitting some middle ground between business casual and formal and my (younger mostly) clients show up in sweats and a tshirt, or maybe a step up from that. So I dunno, I will continue to try to look presentable in public save a trip to the hardware store in the middle of a weekend project, but I do wonder if this increased casualness actually is saying something or if I am just an old snob.
It's funny as I attend Calvary Chapel which is famous for it's "come as you are" environment. However, that doesn't mean come to church dressed as a slob. It means that Jesus will meet you wherever you are, if you reach out to Him no matter your circumstances He will be there for you. You don't need a shower, shave, and a suit to call His name.
However, after being a Christian for a while going to church unshaven in flip-flops and cargo shorts is just tacky IMO. It's a sign of respect that we make ourselves look presentable to God just as we do to others. That doesn't mean buying thousand of dollars in clothes, but being washed, groomed, and dressed appropriately. It's a sign of spiritual maturity and growth, and recognizing one is in the presence of a holy God (key word being holy).
Like you I always make myself look presentable when going out, the exception being a run to the auto parts store when I'm in the middle of a repair. As to showing up in a meeting in sweats and a t-shirt, the idea is unthinkable to me. Whether these kids realize it or not, people will notice it and draw conclusions from it. And unless they are stellar at their jobs it will affect their career advancement as people's impression will be that they are not serious people. Running a business is a serious enterprise, and if people give the impression that they don't care it's noticed.
American society use to be quite formal in dress, in all social strata. Now from Walmart to church, it's gotten beyond relaxed. I think it is a reflection on the culture. For example, the Latin culture still maintains a very smart appearance. I've seen mothers grocery shopping with kids in tow and she is dressed very smartly. However, that is changing here in the states. I also see some European cultures where the people still dress very smartly and attractively. We've become very sloppy.
We are lacking in self discipline ehich was something hammered into folks many decades ago: Waiting and sitting for dinner with family; less snacking and less food; standing straight with good posture; sitting properly, dressing nicely to do something outside the house, etc...remember your grandparents! Proper pride and self respect.
Well yes, our church is pretty much come as you are but did have a pastor a few years ago who would persist with 'gentle reminders' that you are coming to the house of God and that some level of decorum should reflect that. Not expensive to look nice at all. I am actually a thrift store shopper for some things, started when my kids were growing like weeds and money was tight and have just gotten hooked. The store supports a boot camp to help transition homeless families to self sufficiency so I can pick up a bargain and feel good about how I spend my money, usually just pay with cash and leave a tip.
When our boys were young, they grew out of their clothes on what seemed like a daily basis. I was able to clothe them in places like Old Navy for +/- $20 per outfit and still have them look completely presentable.
The New Standard is that there are No Standards. The mirror image is that the New Normal is The Abnormal. The New Law is Lawlessness. Woke Marxism turns everything upside down.
I think you're onto something here. It actually plays into the "stay at home" order from the COVID regime. Once people started wearing their sweats to work from home, I think maybe this laissez-faire attitude about grooming became more "normal" when the world started opening up again. I know that this trend did start before the Lock Down, but I think it got reinforced. Maybe it's part of the whole plan of devolution? 🤔
Lack of Standards, lack of law, devolution and destruction ... it is an across the board conscious strategy decades old now ... and so that 'they' can 'build back better' with their Marxist Wokeness.
I discovered the below quote more than ten years ago from Michael Ledeen whom I describe as being a Neocon theorist. And it was quite a shock that national leaders, advisors could be saying things like this. Right or Left, it does not matter. 'They' of the Uniparty Establishment are all playing the same game, only from different angles of attack.
Notice the words in the first sentence 'both with our own society and abroad'. This tells you that we inside the countries of the West are also the enemies of Woke Marxist Globalism/NWO Tyranny. We and our families have been under continuous assault for a very long time. You can find Ledeen with a search. He is listed in Wikipedia.
Michael Ledeen:
“Creative destruction is our middle name, both with our own society and abroad. We tear down the old order every day, from business to science, literature, art, architecture, and the cinema to politics and the law. Our enemies have always hated this whirlwind of energy and creativity, which menaces their traditions (whatever they may be) and shames them for their inability to keep pace. Seeing America undo traditional societies, they fear us, for they do not wish to be undone. They cannot feel secure so long as we are there, for our very existence—our existence, not our politics—threatens their legitimacy. They must attack us in order to survive, just as we must destroy them to advance our historic mission.
Behind all the anti-American venom from the secular radicals in Baghdad, the religious fanatics in Tehran, the minority regime in Damascus, and the multicultural kleptomaniacs in the Palestinian Authority is the knowledge that they are hated by their own people. Their power rests on terror, recently directed against us, but always first and foremost, against their own citizens. Given the chance to express themselves freely, the Iraqis, Iranian, Syrian, Lebanese, and Palestinian people would oust their current oppressors. Properly waged, our revolutionary war will give them a chance.” (Cited Source: Cultural Insurrections, Kevin MacDonald, chapter on ‘Neoconservative Portraits’, p.185; the footnote reads Ledeen 2002; the bibliography expands this reference to: Ledeen 2002 War on the Terror Masters: Why it happened, Where we are now, Why We’ll Win.

Wow I read this, then watched Tucker's episode 5. Damn, you 2 are on the same wavelength! ICYMI:
What we’re watching…is the total inversion of virtue What was once considered admirable, is now derided as stupid, or racist: achievement, intelligence, honesty, self-control, humility - those are features of the OLD America. Those were yesterday’s virtues, they are gone. In their place, all that we considered contemptable and repulsive, we are told to worship that now.
Pride goes before the fall... If you really care about others and yourself, you dress the part. I recall the days of going Christmas shopping at Phipps Plaza in Atlanta (where we had family) in the 80's and EVERYONE was dressed to the 9s. Then, back home to Gainesville, where 50% (on a good day) were dressed appropriately. Silly me, I really liked it.
No, I think it says, they don’t care what people think or feel. Self centered & lack of pride in themselves. Trying to hide lack of pride , & trying to convince the world that we are wrong.
I’m thinking through this, don’t quite have it developed: the “evil” seems to be redefining pride, personal responsibility and appearance. Seems we are supposed to support the lowest common denominator which drags us all into the gutter…
I’ve noticed that too and while on the one hand I appreciate that we’ve gotten away from having to put on lipstick and a dress to go to the grocery store, lest you be harshly judged, I think it’s gone way too far in the other direction, personally. I have always liked to look and feel put together and presentable and don’t judge those who prefer more casual dress (except when it’s clearly inappropriate, I mean come on, you can make a little bit of an effort for a job interview, a funeral, or something like that). But I feel like it’s definitely gotten to be extreme, where people really just don’t care and even flaunt their slovenliness. I continue to dress up and because I like it but also because in many situations, it gives me an advantage. At work events I try to look very polished and I think that affects people’s perception in a positive way. I remember when even going to a somewhat casual restaurant, everyone dressed nicely. I kind of miss that now tbh 😕
Showing my age but I can recall that people dressed up for airplane trips prior to deregulation. I was a child of an employee so it was mandated for us but most everyone did.
At my eldest's recent graduation, I was one of maybe a dozen parents that had a button down shirt and slacks on... but for full disclosure was probably the first time I wore one since a funeral years ago. Haven't done the slovenly look since the grunge era, and that was just "stick it to the man" rebelliousness.
Yes! My brother applied for a job with Delta airlines in the summer after high school. They flew him to Miami for the interview but when he walked in they sent him back on the next plane... He didn't wear a tie! He had on khakis, leather loafers and a white short sleeve button up shirt, tucked in and a new leather belt. No tie. My mother was furious... he needed that job and had decided against her wishes, that he "dress for success" and wear that tie. I had to catch a flight out of New Orleans with my date after a fancy dinner party. We boarded with our dinner party clothes still on. They thought we were VIPs and had us sit in First Class... I'll never forget that treat! We kept telling them we didn't work for the airlines but his tuxedo and my formal weren't enough to settle their minds... Lol. I still dress nice to fly and have raised our girls to do the same. Our eldest flew a direct flight from Madrid to Miami in First Class returning home from school abroad after a semester, because she was "dressed up." Her classmates missed out.
Same. Honestly I feel more confident when I am presentable, and think people do tend to take you more seriously when you are not looking like you came straight from the laundry heap in the corner of the bedroom. But have to toss in a story a sales trainer 'business friend' told me. She used to sell cars, and an older gentlemen, in raggedy overalls and 3 days of stubble came in to look at new trucks. She was the newest salesperson on the floor and all the senior sales people blew him off. He bought 4 trucks that day, wrote a check. Turns out he had a very profitable farming operation. So there's that. But I don't own a pair of overalls, lol. And can't write a check for one truck, let alone 4.
“Honestly I feel more confident when I am presentable, and think people do tend to take you more seriously when you are not looking like you came straight from the laundry heap in the corner of the bedroom.”
That sentence expresses exactly what I feel too.
And while I myself would prefer dressing up, I wouldn’t dream of mistreating or blowing someone off because of the way they are dressed. Like you said, not only do you never know who they are, but just on principle you shouldn’t treat someone worse because they don’t have nice clothes. Now based on their behavior, well that’s.a whole different story.
Yes, my father in law and dad were both very similar men - both blue collar salt of the earth guys who scrimped and saved and worked hard their whole lives. Both great men, both had very comfortable retirements due to the fruits of their labor. My father in law only wore a suit once in a very great while and bitched about wearing it the whole time, he hated dressing up, jeans and overalls were his uniform. My dad on the other hand, loved dressing up, he wore full suit and tie to church every Sunday and just about any occasion even when he was 'over dressed'. So yeah, book by its cover and all that. Miss them both, regardless of what they wore!
The Walmart pajamas are not quite as disgusting as are the lard-locked beltless men and women with the top half of their butt cracks proudly sparkling, for all to see and enjoy.
I don’t care what others think of me, but I won’t even take my dog out front to potty looking like I just got out of bed and didn’t bother to brush my hair. It’s just common decency.
I saw the clip of him on Joe Rogan's podcast saying he's a junk food aholic, fast food, no vitamins (his wife is working on it for him???) and Joe tells him he's crazy for the line of work he's in and we should follow you for health advice? 😳
What I find amazing is that the world tells us we are not allowed to draw conclusions about others based on how they conduct or present themselves. That doing so is somehow heartless or bigoted. Yet God gave us a sense of perception and judgement for good reason.
My highest priority after God is protecting my family. If we are in a public place and I sense something is "off" we leave. I don't stand around waiting for mayhem to break loose because leaving might seem judgmental. Yet the world has conditioned us to do exactly this.
Is no different when deciding if someone deserves our trust, particularly when it comes to the well-being of our family.
The Gift of Fear! They are trying to silence it. I feel it when I look at the ‘festival’ picture. I know it’s wrong for that to be public. ( I do not care what consenting adults do it private). My gut reacts and I will listen. Call me any name you want. This is why they want the kids, so they can silence their gift of fear.
It's on my reading list, just wish he had called it something different, perhaps "the gift of discernment". Probably wouldn't sell as many books but far more accurate IMO. There's nothing fearful about evaluating your surroundings and acting in your family's best interests.
Overly long, but a recommended read, especially for females and smaller folks of both (BOTH) genders. There is much to be said for author de Becker's approach to heightened awareness of one's immediate environment, and the cues that enter it.
Remember when Ovomit had a crew of those lab coats lined up in the Rose Garden to push his nasty healthcare? Dollars to donuts, not one of them was an actual doctor😣
Would like to think that it would be quite difficult to get away with being a "waffling whore" ...... but one cannot be that naive. The game has changed too much, the field is overrun with sheep who all too willingly follow anyone who steps forward and suggests "I am the Science".
Don't ever trust Rep. Dan Crenshaw. He is a proven RINO and a disappointment to whoever believed in him. The hill for him to die on should be our wide open borders which is letting in terrorists, murderers and children sex traffickers.
And whoop-de-do: It only took Durham six years to write a report about a lie we all recognized from the start. He is another greedy b***ard who stayed on the payroll for six years to tell us what we already knew.
IDK, but advertising your injury, affliction or whatever you want to call it, is begging for pity. Brian Mast, Rep from Florida is another example of that. He walks around wearing Bermuda shorts calling attention to his prosthetic legs. That’s the first thing you see when you look at them. It’s like painting your hair green, pleading before the Supreme Court Justices and expect to be taken seriously.
--The Milgram Experiment: Milgram found that 65% of his subjects were willing to give apparently harmful electric shocks—up to 450 volts—to a pitifully protesting victim, simply because a scientific, *lab coated* authority commanded them to.
--Observation: The man with an autistic child is telling everyone to inject vaccines into our children, while refusing to debate RFKjr, who presented data and information linking child vaccines to a rise in autism.
--I’m surprised he doesn’t have a stethoscope around his neck.
My 10 year old daughter is autistic and I’m filled with regret over listening to and believing the medical establishment. Regret is painful. It sucks.
Having said that, her life has been a beautiful example of God’s forgiveness. We work very hard together so that she can overcome many of her challenges related to autism.
I came to understand early on, that the ‘experts’ that were sent to help her, even those with good intentions, didn’t actually help but were harmful to her. Early intervention, ABA therapy, was not helpful. One such ‘expert’ even suggested keeping her in a locked room alone with the therapist while she cried for me. Um, NO.
I saw this further travesty getting ready to unfold, and so I did my own research.
If there are any parents of an autistic child on this thread, Relationship Development Intervention (RDI) which is a parent led therapy, (not implemented by therapists) has helped my daughter immensely. I also have homeschooled her with a Christian curriculum since the first grade.
She’s now doing similar work as her neurotypical peers.
My daughter will always have challenges though. But I’ve learned (the hard way) that her dad and I were always and are now her best teachers and protectors. The professionals don’t actually care about her future honestly.
God offers not only eternal salvation but redemption here on earth. I have shed many tears over the very thought of God and His forgiveness and redeeming love for me. The work and the love I have put into my little girl’s life, along with God’s loving and righteous hand on her, has given me hope for her future. He’s working miracles still!
I'm completely in agreement with you! God is here! We went the medical route with one daughter who had profound ADHD and "comorbidities." She was bullied mercilessly by teachers, other parents other children, and family... it was hell! We tried about every kind of med out there to little relief. I had two elderly parents and an elderly aunt I was caring for, along with 2 older daughters we were raising at the time. Then my eldest (of the three young ones), was diagnosed with leukemia, and that sent the ADHD addled child into depression mode so severe we were forced to pull her out of private school. She ended up at the child development center where her doctors and therapists taught her... She attended homeschool, 4 different private schools, and her senior year in high school, the tutor bill was double the monthly tuition. We had too many therapists to count, (but I know the number) a neuro-pediatric psychiatrist, then pediatric psychiatrist with 5 board certifications...they all pushed every new big pHARMa drug. We delayed treatment most of the time. Then the diagnoses began to mount up. She spent a 3 dayer in rehab after one med caused serious suicide ideation and boy did that open our eyes! My parents and aunt passed away as she finished high school. She had one thing that really kept her from falling away... God. He gave her the most beautiful voice, an effervescent personality with the most incredible heaping helping of empathy ever witnessed... She could figure people out so fast... Never ever did I doubt God had a plan! We were told to "try to keep her on her meds until she's 25, her brain may wake up..." So that was the "aim." She was getting around with her singing and enjoying life after 23yrs...then, unbeknownst to us, she stopped all of her meds, cold turkey. She'd always been told she could not. Well, she did. Then six weeks later she told us she, "felt life was not to be lived in a cloud..." and she freed herself from that prison. We experienced many terrible events when meds were not taken when she was much younger, but somehow it was the right time for her when she stopped. Today she's earning her way, doing fantastic and preaching to folks she meets about the downside of medications for ADHD and the "stuff that goes with it." It's all about diet, exercise, self care and loving on everyone she meets. An incredibly sweet young lady who lived inside the worst of storms! She was born in 1994. Our maternal niece and our paternal nephew, one month prior. The niece, total agenesis of the corpus collossum. The nephew, high functioning aspergers. Don't think for a second I didn't wonder what was sprayed in the air or sprayed on food along the Eastern Seaboard during our pregnancies! But, my faith grew exponentially. We made lots of mistakes but God's grace covers a multitude of sin and mistakes! We endured because He endures. My husband's lack of trust in a holy plan had him convinced we'd be raising her the rest of our lives in our home, on our dime. I never stopped believing my God had her life covered. He has more than provided! Providential care for His children! You are a very blessed mother!
And now when I see "Maggie Think of Me" I will do so with amazement! You are very special and God bless you for all you have done and I'm sure there will be more.
How very sweet of you, brother! Thank you. I cannot take any credit, if not for Jesus' incredible, indivisible, indestructable, infallible love, I'd have given up. I look back in stunned humility. The "Maggie Think of Me" is in honor of the goodness of God for our "Maggie." She sings, "Think of Me" from Phantom of the Opera with such ease, with such a glorious voice, I have a hard time believing she's ours! He gave me the desire and the opportunity to live on my knees in humble obedience. Caring for 3 elderly adults along with our 4 girls was not easy. Mere months before my eldest was diagnosed with leukemia, my husband lost his ability to operate and it ended his career in the practice of medicine due to his disability insurance rules. Redirection means being able to pick everyone back up, dist off, and keep pushing forward. Our pastor in our early years had preached on Satan's tactics one Sunday. One of the things he said that stuck with me was, "Satan doesn't go after the unbelievers! No, he goes after those who are in the midst of the battle for their faith, those that cling to the Rock. He is relentlessly trying to find a way in, to break that bond. If Satan isn't fighting for you, you aren't living in Him!" I know that to be true. The fight was at every turn. We perservered. God was faithful throughout the fiercest battles, the sleepless nights, the endless days, the depression, the chemo, the ADHD, the anxiety, and the victories. He was immovable! He never failed. He hid is in the Cleft of His Rock.
I only recently found out about a wonderful psychologist named Roger McFillin. He did a podcast with Allie Beth Stuckey, and my daughter, who struggles with anxiety, asked me to listen to it with her. He's great--a libertarian who is fighting against the narrative of mental "illness." https://www.drmcfillin.com/
I've just been listening to his interview with Dr. Chuck Ruby, author of Smoke and Mirrors: How You Are Being Fooled About Mental Illness - An Insider's Warning to Consumers. Jeff is right about the pandemic. I started out being skeptical of COVID, and it has led me to truth in so many areas that I would not otherwise have considered.
Thank you for your kind words and sharing your story Maggie! 🙏🏻
Wow... Your family has been through it all! Your daughter sounds like an amazing young woman. God doesn’t keep us from troubles, but He goes before us, never lets go of those of us who belong to Him! You sound like an amazing mom. God has also blessed you through your trials. 💗💗💗
Maggie Think of Me, thank your for sharing. Sadly, I think it’s the childhood v- schedule that definitely could of contributed to your daughter’s diagnosis. I think it depends on your zip code. They have crafty ways after reading Turtles allThe way Down of cleverly dispersing lot numbers to various regions throughout your county. So that’s how they get away it having only a small portion have adverse reactions. It’s literally playing Russian roulette what goes in the arm. This is my theory any way. Can’t prove nothing. But I can look at both of my children and their issues and their shot schedules and tie things together. Back then I didn’t know any better and trusted the Pediatrician. So many common health issues are basically caused by all these harmful adjacents they use.
God is so good and healing when we consult Him 1st!
I agree with that accessment. We told our pediatrician we didn't feel comfortable giving her vaccines on their schedule. She was one of many who had a strange cry after a combo DPT I think (I should remember!), and he spoke up and said, no more for her. I had to fight with every pediatrician after that. When she was 11 they started pushing Guardisil (spel?). I was adamant! "NO!" Every one of her doctors pushed it on us! When my husband accompanied me, they would push him. But, I fought tooth and nail and told her to fight it as well. We stopped all vaccines for her. When Covid came she already knew it wasn't going into her am in vax form. And she lost a high paying job because she refused! They accepted her religious exemption then started changing her hours and schedule. Did everything they could to break her, hoping she'd give in. Nope! They had her meet with HR six weeks after that and fired her. She could have sued them. (Jeff helped us get the religious exemption letters she needed). But, she decided to walk away because she was able to find another job and then something finally came along. If I knew then, what I know now, there would have been no vaccines for any of our daughters. None of my brother's children were vaxxed. Never sick. Then his grandchildren and the great grandbabies, not one have been vaxxed and they're as healthy as horses!
Thank you for the reply! I wish I would of have woken up sooner. My oldest was injured by the HPV. That’s is what led me on the journey and why I taken the time to learn about it all. It did prepare us for the last 3 years of C-vd mania!
We are standing here today healthy because of God’s Grace and being able to discern and look at what will help the body verses hurt!
God bless you Steph. Your little girl is blessed to have a mom like you looking after her best interests. I believe parents are the best teachers and protectors. Do you think her autism is related to vaccines? Thank you for sharing this story; you have been an inspiration to me today.
I can’t know for sure that it was the vaccines. But I suspect based on her steady regression in her intellectual and emotional ability into 22 months, after most of the infant/toddler vaccines were given to her. She went from being very interactive, knowing all the animal sounds and belly laughing to a stoic and sort of ‘spaced out’ disposition.
The pediatrician gave us a standard form at 18 or 20 months that asked if our daughter answered to her own name. I answered no. The pedi passively told us with a shoulder shrug that it’s possible our daughter is on the spectrum and abruptly left the room after giving us a referral to a specialist.
After perfect hearing test results, the pediatric neurologist confirmed the autism diagnosis. It was a roller coaster ride for 4 years after that. We are just now hitting our stride with the perfect balance of therapy led by us, and homeschool. She also attends a Christian school for extracurricular activities and socialization. She is thriving and loves her family and the Lord. ♥️
She has taught me so much about life. God is good!
If only we all had known the truth about vaccines prior to Covid. I’m a retired RN with 32 years of experience and have been shocked at all I’ve learned recently. One of my good friends had a beautiful baby boy and I was there at the delivery. Around 18 months she started noticing some delays that were odd compared to her first child and shortly afterwards was diagnosed with autism as well. God is faithful and so kind and loving with whatever we face in this fallen world and I admire how you’ve handled the situation. I’ll remember you and your family in my prayers.
You are fighting daily for her, and she is blessed for it. 🩷 I wanted to ask, though, have you ever looked into homeopathy? We love homeopathy and have used it for our family, almost exclusively, for about 15 years. Healing autism is just one of the many amazing things it can do. @theautismhomeopath on Instagram would be a great place to start, if you want to look into it.
This absolutely warmed my heart! Truly an example of how the Lord walks with us through the trials of life. You and your daughter are more Christlike because of this experience. It’s like Romans 8:28 come to life. Thank you so much for sharing.
I have a 1-year-old granddaughter and am trying to gracefully present my daughter (her mother) with the evidence and dangers that have been revealed in childhood vaccines. The CDC and the medical professionals have such a stranglehold on the narrative. I just pray that she will listen and that my granddaughter doesn’t become a statistic.
Yup, it's trappings no different than ceremonial garb. The whole doctor/patient relationship is like a priesthood. The diploma, AMA certificate, the state licensing certificate all displayed on the wall showing they are member of the priesthood. You call them by title, they call you by first name. If you decline to follow their direction, you are "non compliant" as if their direction is mandatory.
Seinfeld had a great bit about how whenever you go to the doctor, the first thing they do is make you sit there with no pants on, as if it's a humiliation ritual. After that, anyone who walks in wearing pants automatically seems competent. Pants always beats no pants.
Docs testifying for and against the c man date bill in the state legislature... the ones pushing FOR man dates (opposed to the bill) all showed up with white coats. The ones opposed to man dates all showed up without. It was truly revolting.
Anyone who wears a white lab coat in a setting other than where it’s required is suspect to me. My reaction is like my dog’s when it sees a trash can/dustbin on the sidewalk/pavement.
He's a cartoon character like Nye with the bow ties. Talk about a simulation and cast of characters they've developed over years for the cameras, including Bezos, Gates and others.
The pictures I've been seeing of Hotez have been really bothering me with a sense of familiarity, and I finally realized why ... he looks just like Dr Casper Darling from "Control"! Round glasses, bow tie, lab coat, messy hair, etc ... he just needs a vest and a coffee mug!
I once worked for weight loss company and was required to wear a lab coat and a stethoscope around my neck. You know...for credibility. They even taught me to draw blood. I was a college student at the the time. Studying COMMUNICATIONS. I quit a couple of months in...it felt unethical to my 20 year old self. I guess Dr. H has lost touch with his 20 year old self :/.
Exactly! I don’t either. Poll numbers are garbage and I get tired of people citing poll numbers as a metric to anything. Did we learn nothing from 2016? As soon as tptb give us numbers to anything we should know the opposite is true.
'Democrats accused Republicans of “attacking transgender youth” .'
There are no naturally occuring "transgender youth". Certainly there is a small group of people who have gender dysphoria. But the vast majority of what the Left calls "trans" are created through the mental and physical abuse euphemustically called affirmation, inflicted on vulnerable youths by parents, teachers, and medical professionals.
That's quite possibly a factor (I follow Malone and read it today) but it doesn't account for the recent and massive spike in "trans kids" seen primarily in Western nations.
Daskalakis says the Biden administration’s goals are to “support peoples’ joy” as opposed to stigmatizing them as “risky.” OH?? Like Grandma getting to see the grandkids??? Like family getting to visit loved ones in the in the hospital?? That kind of "joy" ??
They were certainly willing to stomp on all kinds of joy in the COVID lockdowns. I guess the only kind of joy they consider necessary is sexual deviancy.
There are some days when the developments are too massive for me to keep up with. But, Jeff, I don’t know HOW you do it, but you keep me up. Do you ever sleep???? I, too, read your C&C post every day. And I pray for you. Thank you from a Delaware fan…trying hard to relocate to Santa Rosa County, Florida!!
Thanks!!! Where do you live? We bought land in Pace last year. Trying to get a barn built!!! Thanks to “the White House resident” and his fabulous policies, we have lost some of our funding!! 🫣🙄😬. So we are figuring it out!!! But we are going to get there!!! ♥️
We live in the Gulf Breeze area, which is rapidly increasing in population - no doubt in large part due to the same issues you describe. The Pace area is experiencing the same thing, but I believe you’re on the right track and wish you all the best in your endeavors to establish a new life in this area.
Thanks!! We are excited. An adult daughter is joining us. She is an experienced speech pathologist and has been doing some research and networking needed for eventual employment there. 🙂
I am confident that it will prove to be a blessing to all of you and, through you, to others... The more freedom, truth-loving, principled individuals in this area and State, the better. If we can be of any assistance to you once you’re here, we’d be pleased to do so.
The easiest and quickest way to put a stop to this Trans lunacy is to remove the involvement of Private Insurance or Medicare. By going to a cash transaction, the parents of these children would actually have to evaluate the costs versus (currently just reaping) the benefit. Even a minimal search of pre & post transitioning costs finds them to be well above the ability to pay for the average American (hence why it’s such a good business for the “Industry”). No need to restrict anything, just make it an option for those who can afford to go their own way (much like cosmetic surgery, except for years of follow up hormones and complications related surgeries- all paid for out of pocket).
That's exactly what I said. Or...make it so that all "trans" surgeries have to be given by institutions on a pro bono basis. Let's see how enthusiastic they are about free affirmation.
That's the tricky part. The overlords will see to it that these are paid for by insurance & medicaid/medicare so the rest of us are funding this madness that only enriches them and further hurts , indebts the middle class.
But there must be restrictions!! We're talking about children! That's the most horrible part. They're jumping past the cross sex hormones, testosterone, drugs, etc and right in with the knives! They're cutting girls breasts off at 13 years of age! They castrating these children, then permanently scarring their limbs to fashion sexual organs! ENOUGH! They now allow abortion up to the point of birth and sex "change" therapy to start earlier and earlier. The MDs doing these surgeries are ghouls!! Why are insurance companies using our hard earned money to pay for these destructive surgeries? Where will we end up? We'll destroy children. It is mind boggling.
I think that milley, Allen, Graham, Pelosi, nuland and all the neo con hawks should be sent to Ukraine to make up for the lost Ukrainian military members. They can use all their collective "expertise " with the troll zelensky to lead the offensive against Russia. Sure to be a victory. At least we will win if Russia takes them all out with a well placed missile.
The JRE with RFK Jr was the highlight of my week. And then the complete idiotic move by Hotez to tweet about it being misinformation?!!! He has to be a complete narcissist to think he wouldn’t be vilified. The responses have been the shovel and pitchfork retaliation of our current day. The truth is setting us free! Wheeee!
I’m an hour into the RFKJ interview and I’m savoring every word! I love his story about how he became involved in vaccines. Being an expert in mercury from his River Keepers work, he knew Offit (?) was lying about the type of mercury in vaccines. Wish I was a fly in the wall when that conversation happened!
I have a solution to the doctors receiving pharma money. Those who take $ from pharma can be sued for vaccine injury. I like your idea of out-incentivizing them, but pharma will always outspend us. Putting liability on kick-back docs would force them to stop taking the money.
But RICO has historically been for direct financial gain of a doctor receiving a kickback after writing many Rx’s or getting paid for a speaking engagements by a pharmaceutical company to promote the opioid they overprescribe? Has it been applied to vaccines? This feels a little different bc the doctors are trying to increase overall vaccine uptake. They may or may not be the administrator of the vaccine. I’m not an attorney, but maybe Jeff could explain why RICO isn’t currently used in the case of vaccines. I also wonder if vaccines aren’t seen as harmful in the same way an addictive drug like an opioid is accepted as dangerous & addictive (although, I see many similarities).
If someone wants to trot out RICO, they should start at NIH,NIAH and the CDC. These agencies are setting health policy for our country and mandating treatments that they own the patents on! How is that legal. Good health policy? Follow the money.
“C&C’s comments section is one of the best on Substack.”
I’ve been reflecting on this from yesterday’s post. I truly believe of all the Substacks - Jeff Childer’s C&C posts AND the comments are overwhelmingly informative. I’ve learned so much from the C&C army.
This Substack is the one thing I read religiously. I no longer watch the news and rely on THIS Substack’s daily roundup and comments to inform me.
I’m grateful to you, Jeff, as I’m sure the rest of the C&C army is for this Substack. I never thought I’d want to read an attorney’s POV, but you’ve help interpret so much for us the past 3 years. It’s been invaluable.
Thank you from a very grateful fellow Floridian!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️
I feel exactly the same way. If I only have a few minutes, Jeff’s Substack is the one I read and the one I will share to friends as well. The summary and wicked humor all wrapped up in a tidy package, love it. Plus I like the comments and comraderie of the C & C army. Feels like a community.
And a slice of humor to boot!
'A slice' strikes as a skimpy euphemism! 😁
ETA 'Tis more of a structural mesh holding the whole together 🤸
Like peanut butter and choke cherry jam on a slice of toasted sour dough bread!
Fixed it. Hahahaha
Yes, yes, yes, - had that with my eggs this morning while reading. There is no better comfort food than peanut butter and jam (spicy red pepper jelly for me) and toasted real sour dough bread. Yummy!!!
I like life on the Wild side with over easy Eggs /avocado/and salsa.
The sour dough with PB/CCJ/ is almost a dessert. (Hint...eat your carbs last)
My nutritional tip o the day.
Maple syrup snivels neglected in cobwebbed corner 😭
Mmm chokecherry jam 😍 Don’t hear about that very often!
Helps when you have the tree and the grandmother.
She's great 👍
That’s awesome! Kinda jealous 😁
Yes but at 6 am to have such hard Belly laughs that take the energy I got from sleeping last night is making me want to go back to bed! Jeff is an amazing writer!!
Good thing Jeff doesn't post his findings at 3 am. You'd become a night owl.
I rely on the C&C and Pirate Wires combo to guide me through the tempestuous whitewater of daily news 😊
Thanks, another excellent to read.
I've never heard of pirate wires. Is that a substack, a website, a podcast?
All of these things 😏 A product(s) of exquisite author collective; be sure to check it out --> piratewires.com 👌
Please provide link to pirate wires!
My pleasure 😊 --> piratewires.com 🔥
It appears to be a substack. I went there and sampled the latest article. Thoughtful and nuanced, but I'm not sure I can buy into it.
"I took the shot, twice, and consider its underlying technology to be an exciting technological breakthrough..."
I reflexively don't trust anyone who says he took the jabs without the statement being immediately followed by unequivocal regret and mea culpa.
Strict purity tests narrow the epistemic horizons immensely—to our own detriment, nobody else's 😏
PS Did you miss podcasts there? 😲
Thank you!
I feel absolutely the same way. Not only have I learned about podcasts and important studies from the C and C army, I also found out about some things that have had a direct impact on my life, like breast thermography and AlgaeCal supplements. Thank you, Jeff, because you've attracted a large army of intelligent, informed citizens through your wonderful daily posts.
Now I too know about thermography. Thank you!
Just do you know, thermogram did NOT find my cancer. I had invasive lobular. And it is very hard to detect. I would not rely on thermogram alone. Ultrasound would be wise to add.
Thank you! What's your opinion on mammograms?
It's not possible to like💗 this comment enough. With that said, I have sent C&C's newsletter to many family and friends, but to my surprise (and frustration) it has gained little traction. I deduced that many people don't want to be informed, and also lack a sense of humor. Lawyers' should thank Jeff for bringing newfound respect to their profession. P.S. I'm a Californian...don't be fooled by the press as there are many [many] conservative-minded people still here fighting the good fight.
Speaking of respect, I was just reflecting this morning how much I used to trust and respect medical professionals, and now I’m taking advice from lawyers, who I never trusted or respected in the past. It’s almost comical.
Conservative Californian right here. Yep, there are a lot more of us than people think.
I have also shared C&C with many friends and family. Most have joined in, but a few refuse to even acknowledge anything outside the MSM narrative. You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make them drink.
Same way in Illinois, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and even western New York. All kinds of people fighting the good fight.
I totally agree - this is the only one I read every day and it's the only one where I read the comments and I too have learned a lot from the C&C Army members. It's an awesome community. Have an awesome day, Cheers!
I completely agree! I read C & C every day. Jeff is my only news source these days because I love the dash of humor and any other news source makes me depressed. Thank you, Jeff!
Randi, I wholeheartedly agree. My cable connection failed yesterday, but with Coffee and Covid I think I'll be fine without it. May have to watch golf on my phine, though.
That was a phoney typo...
This column and the comments have done much to improve my outlook on life. Plus, I love getting suggestions for TV shows to watch. One of our favorites was the Jeff recommendation, “Goliath” on Amazon. Season 1 was excellent, season 2 and 3 were difficult to watch but we had to watch them all to get to the best . . . Season 4. It was AWESOME! The language is perfectly awful but the story is riveting. We also watched “Rabbit Hole” as suggested in several comments. I almost had a heart attack during every episode but it was really good!
I agree completely! Jeff reports and I inderstand! Since Tucker was fired I have been left with doing WORDSCAPE
Elaine, I’ve been watching reruns of Ally McBeal, Mary Tyler Moore, Quantum Leap and West Wing. I hate watching the news now. It’s all propaganda. 🤬
Everything RandiG said and more. I sometimes get behind and will delete all emails but not Coffee & COVID until I read them. Thank you so much Jeff for your wonderful explanations and your point of view on all the news! Keep up the great work!
Same!! Agree on my source for reliable updates.✔️
Wholeheartedly agree!!!

Here's a short report on the latest on the Ukraine counteroffensive. Maybe we can help Mr. Childers tell a bit of truth:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZsddvZVwEc0&t=2s
Jeff is more interested in pushing a pro-Russian propaganda point.
Mr. Childers wrote about others and said they were not being intellectually honest.
Not sure why he insists on going further and further to be a Putinoid lackey. Sad.
And are y’all pushing a pro Ukrainian propaganda point? It’s a mess that she ever have begun. Someone said it was avoidable by one sentence; no NATO for Ukraine
Nato would mean peace. Notice how Russia has invaded Georgia, Moldova, and Ukraine but not Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia, 4 nations they claim still belong to Russia as colonies.
Had Ukraine been in nato there would be no war because Russia can't handle Nato. They can't even handle Ukraine right now.
Fact of the matter is Russia expected a short war and the west to simply roll over and accept it. They even declared Victory on day 2 of the war on February 26th, 2022.
Don't beleive us, check the facts. Russia lost their flagship to Ukrainian missiles in april of 2022. They have been struggling and finally took bakhmut and soledar after 10 months of fighting. That's not something that happens to a first rate military like Jeff and others claim.
And right now the offensive that Jeff said wouldn't happen is currently happening and making good gains and driving Russia back.
You are the biggest retard on here. You are so stupid that you don't even realize that the CIA and MI6 WANT the Ukraine proxy war. Seriously, are this incredibly stupid, or do you have some money on the grift?
The only propaganda you cited here SusanMc is Putin's. It's a shame so many fall for it.
You actually believe that Putin invaded Ukraine because he thought some day it might submit an application for NATO?
SMH. The latest reason is that Ukraine invaded Russia and Putin had no choice. Try to keep up.
So if Xi put troops, missiles, tanks, and bio-weapons labs across the border in Mexico Sloppy Joe would do nothing...mm-k.
(Actually Joe B would probably build the bases for Xi, but that's bc he is a degenerate scumbag traitor).
The key is to review the uncensored sources of information. US/NATO were entirely unprepared because for 30 years they have executed a counterinsurgency strategy and capability. Instead of an actual battlefield adversary they faced only roadside bombs, goat herders with flintlocks, and homemade missiles from Hezbollah.
And I'd note that even in those cases, the goat herders and Hezbollah won.
Add that to the fact that their job is to prolong and lose wars, not win them and go home. That would be a complete disaster for their P/Ls. Kind of like pharma making you healthy: a catastrophe.
So I'm forced to endure the thought of my father spinning in his grave, with my hard earned dollars going to fund soldiers with actual swastikas on their arms. He was Dutch, wrote an anti-Nazi play, and ended up in a Nazi prison. But I suppose you'll deny that our "ally" is nothing but a bunch of Banderites?
All to protect the infinitely corrupt wannabe dictator in the White House and his financial crimes. A man who hates America and everything she stands for.
BTW what you find in the uncensored information stories are war crimes so horrific as to be almost unrepeatable here. Children, body parts, and UN NGOs. Hey and there's an app where you can buy whichever form of torture of captured Russian soldiers you want. So sorry, ANY defense of this evil is abhorrent. We need PEACE, which means we need TRUMP.
SKADIKDUECH
How's it going, Ukraine traitor douche? How's it feel to know you're killing thousands because Biden is a traitor? Got any eightballs to sell?
Same, though I'm not lucky enough to be a Floridian!
My youngest is fighting her own mini-war with the jab-pushers on church youth choir and missions tour this week. (In San Francisco, which I know has turned itself into an huge missions field, but I think an idiotic place to take a church youth group.) Our welcoming-and-affirming-to-all church apparently draws the line at the great unjabbed. She’s being excluded from a performance at a hospital that required proof of vax from every singer and from several missions sites. No stigmatization there! I told her to just think ahead to the day 5 to 20 years from now when she still has her fertility, hasn’t died from a stroke, and probably won’t have anything to do with most of those blue Kool-Aid drinkers anymore, but I’d appreciate your prayers this week too as she learns a big lesson about the way this world works.
Time to give the boot to a church that would go anywhere that vax is required and exclude their own members who didn’t jab???? I would question them! They are ok with this? 🤔 And all of their youth and members going are all vaxxed? 🤔 Is your daughter standing alone in this? If so, it says enough about them too eh?
Oh, that day is coming — she wants to finish out senior year at the church she grew up in with her friends, which I understand. It has changed a lot since we joined 25 years ago, as has Dallas. Her wanting to be there is the only reason my husband and I haven’t left yet. Re: standing alone, not completely— I was told there would be a “handful” of others she could “hang out” with during the hospital performance. She’s literally the best singer in that choir, so they’re all missing out by excluding her.
I understand that. Being that you’ve gone there for so long…I would suggest letting the leadership/Pastor know why you are leaving the church when you do so. 🤷♀️ These woke pastors need to hear how badly they missed the truth. It does no good to just stop going. They need to be face to face with the truth. IMHO.
I do hope your daughter manages to have a good experience with her friends.
Thank you. 💖 That is exactly what I plan to do.
I have come to see these types of situations as- God is moving your daughter away from these people and influences… and maybe if you frame it this way… she can see it as a personal blessing in her life. God has something else in store for your child.
We had this experience at our church recently. My middle school son refused to be confirmed. I was very upset by this, all my other kids were confirmed there, our extended family is all there… well during the pandemic our church became a ‘reconciling church’ - all in on the whole LGBTQ agenda… now I am very grateful that this influence is not in my child’s face, him being indoctrinated -through the church
There are numerous Bible passages that condemn causing division within the church body (as opposed to calling out clear sinful behavior). Assuming it's a biblical church how can a pastor justify dividing the body into vaccinated and unvaccinated? What is his biblical authority for doing so particularly in light of the Bible's clear prohibition on doing this?
If the pastor cannot justify his actions with unambiguous scripture (compared to saying something nebulous like it's what Jesus would have wanted) then I would think that's a pretty clear sign that it's time to move on. The signs are everywhere, we need to be firmly grounded in God's Word and attending churches that uncompromisingly adhere to it.
Pastors cannot implement things that violate God's Word because it makes them feel good, they do not have that authority. I'd give him a chance to explain himself but if it doesn't pass the test of scripture then it's time to separate the wheat from the chaff.
Good advice Jeff. End times and the apostate church, read all about it. Test as the Bereans did. If I may, work on a relationship with Jesus, then find a church that re-enforces that relationship.
I'll add one more bit of advice for everyone. Purchase Bibles, the paper kind. I prefer New King Jimmy. Once AI starts re writing scripture all truth will be lost.
Sorry for the hijack Mr. C
The road to Hell is paved with the skulls of erring priests, with bishops as their signposts” – ST. JOHN CHRYSOSTOM.
Indeed. Even if the pastor genuinely and seriously believes someone is wrong and that the jabs are a good thing, there are verses clearly saying to accommodate to the "weaker" (as he sees it) brother, whose conscience does not allow them to partake (originally, of "idol meat"; today, of vaccines).
I can understand that. My husband and I watched our youngest son's high school graduation on a Friday and moved out of Oregon at 7 o'clock the next morning. We practically sang all the way across the country.
😂 😂 I remember that feeling! 🙌 🙌 What state did you land in, if you care to answer? Florida for us.
Tennessee. We love it. Florida was on the list, though!
👏 👏 Love Tennessee too! Congratulations!! What part of Oregon? We were in the Valley between Salem and Portland. Couldn’t wait to get out.
We left New Jersey 5 years ago and made it to South Carolina. Love it here.
Oh, how wonderful that there are "others!"
Strong Teens are REAL!!! 🎉
💖
we left a denomination we went to for over 30 years because they made a hard left turn. We never regretted leaving. In fact, we found a terrific, Bible-based church north of Dallas that is a 2 Timothy 3:16-17 church. My only regret is that we didn't leave sooner.
This occurred to me while reading this thread - what if - she's strengthening relationships on this trip- ans then when she leaves the church - she encourages others to do the same? God can absolutely use her (and you too of course!) to lead others out of that confused church. ❤️
Please try to re-think some of this. Like ... what comes first. Glorification of God or our worldly wants? Does the end [singing] justify the means [staying in a Woke or semi-Woke Church]? And then this the example set that it is okay to 'cut corners' on matters of principle. Thus, it's not simply a matter of what 'they're all missing out on by excluding her'. It is more what you are missing out by staying stuck in the mud of bad compromise.
We have all been there where you are with things like this. Most of us have done things we are not very proud of, to say the least. And it appears to be impossible to get through life without having made bad decisions that one later regrets. And it is double, triple hard to make the hard decision trusting the Lord that better things are yet to come after having made the right difficult choice.
I wish I could have said this in a better way, but as it is ... I am not sufficient enough to do so.
I see where you’re coming from and if it were just me, I would have left long ago. But after everything my child’s generation has had taken from them in the name of “even one life,” I’m not willing to alienate her by forcing her to leave or skip choir tour. She’s a minor, is aware of the choice she’s making, and is s already paying a price as it is, for choices other adults in her life, including myself, are making.
You're an awesome mom.
My best wishes to you all. It is a difficult time to be living in ... and with thanks for the reply.
You said it perfectly and I agree.
I totally get it, but maybe she would be better off not being indoctrinated by a church that bows to the enemy. I don’t know exactly where you live, but Pastor Dustin Bates of Church 1132 in Dallas area is on the board of our church here in SoCal. He actually preached at our church a few weeks ago and brought an awesome message about The Battle Beyond the Battle, when Elisha’s servant could only see in the natural and couldn’t see the armies of heaven. Our church Oceans, only closed for a short while and never closed again and have been meeting in tents ever since our governor became Dictator Newsom. The church has exploded ever since and last month we had the largest water baptism in US history. Having the pastors who aren’t afraid of man has made a huge difference in my life.
We left a church we had been going to for 10 years...2.5 years ago. My daughter was 15.
I understand you're wanting her to get to finish with her friends...but it's clear that the church and its influences are NOT on the sane page as you and your daughter. And you may want to reconsider the exposure to that v. Getting to have fun. Pray on it!
You would hypothetically separate her from the church if you had to move for a job right? Her morale and being influenced by people who don't share your values is much more important than a job, but not worth separation?
Momming/ dad-ing is hard these days, being a teen is even harder. Praying that no matter your decision that protection from these influences is given ! 🙏
This situation is also teaching your daughter to stand strong in her beliefs (a very hard thing for a teenager to do). Sounds like it's building her backbone! And showing her that standing up for the right thing isn't always easy and sometimes comes with sacrifices. She's also a good example for others!
I agree to all that too. 🤗
Which church is it in Dallas? I’d like to know!
I’d rather not say, but it has become one of the best-known “welcoming and affirming” churches in the area -- lots of media coverage for various reasons.
Thinking daughter needs to run away from that craziness! Churches are showing their true agendas...
Thinking daughter might be formulating another way that we haven't thought about.
Your daughter is blessed with a wise mother!
It’s hard enough for us as adults to stand against the pressures of this weaponized empathy being thrust upon us, which is a form of psychological warfare. It’s 10x harder for young people, while their character and integrity is still being developed.
All of us as parents or adult role models need to stand strong against the propaganda for our own sake but much more for the sake of future generations.
God bless you and your family!
“weaponized empathy”. What an accurate description.
Weaponized empathy,,,,,I’m adding that to the lexicon.
Yes that is a great phrase, very apt!!
You do sound like a great mom.
Thank you. I thank God for choosing me to be mom. 💖
There's a new church in town. Watch CHURCH OF THE PANDEMIC MIND. https://turfseer.substack.com/p/church-of-the-pandemic-mind
Big prayers! Tell her to stay strong & know there are plenty of hospitals outside of San Fransisco that will happily accept her !
Wow, I and a strong, two arms full load of mRNA rejecting Christians who live here in SF would be thrilled to sing with her outside the hospital(s) she's visiting. Only problem is organizing that on the spur of the moment, but our hearts and the Holy Spirit are with her on her tour, and may the Lord somehow intervene in this upside down, exclusive ban of her participation. It is embarrassing to say the very least.
Thank you. 💖
Well, the hospital does set the rules, but it still seems odd that any place for missions work would require that sort of proof otherwise. However, it _is_ CA so .... But really, why would any church in TX be pushing this on their mission trips or at least not publishing those requirements up front so people can choose not to go? We were just up in OKC for our mission work, cleaning up after the tornadoes and singing - no masks, even at nursing homes (though there was a sign on one door that was just ignored by almost everyone). We toured a rehab hospital as well - no masks required, let alone experimental injections.
I get wanting to stay at the church you grew up with, but man - that's just crazy stuff, especially for a TX church.
Sadly, too many CA refugees in TX I suppose. Can't fathom why people move away from s-hole places to escape and then push the same policies that made their escape necessary from their last address. See the same thing here where our formerly solid red suburb is being infiltrated by the refugees from s-hole KC and have turned it purple on a good day. Of course I am constantly nagging my conservative friends whose activism extends to complaining on FB to get more involved, but bitching is easier.
Yes, we get a lot of wealthy, lefty Cali refugees or employees of CA companies that have moved here (Tesla, Toyota). The dynamic is exactly as you describe.
And they come in with CA real estate values $ and jack up the housing prices wherever they move. My sister and hubby are lonely conservatives in So Cal and I wonder if CA real estate prices are going to stay propped up long enough that when they retire in ~3 years they will be able to sell at the crazy values that still seems to be holding up at this point. Have not decided if they will stay or move, but they have friends who are happy with their exodus to TX.
You all would be surprised at the number of social conservatives who still live in the SoCal. Honestly, we're busy adding to our numbers by speaking truth to anyone who will listen. Just yesterday a friend got in a conversation with the gas meter reader...who left excited to have found a kindred spirit. Don't discount us. We're here and we haven't rolled over. ;)
Bless you all — that is a hard place to be.
That is so encouraging!!
Yes, they found some Trump rallies to attend, and there are pockets of sanity in San Bernadino county where they live. But she volunteered for the recall Newsom campaign only to see it ballot harvested into oblivion. Says if a R is ahead on election night, they always end up 'finding' more votes to defeat them days later. Our system is not perfect in MO but our elections are certified before CA even finishes counting. Local elections all counts are usually 100% of precincts reporting by the 10 PM news.
That’s how VT has become socialist. Wealthy NJ, CT and NY progressives moving there- ruining it for the native VTers.
I’m still in California…I visit my daughter in Boise and think the same thing!!!
Why did they leave ? 🤦♀️
Could not agree more!
Wow still? Unbelievable.
Yes. I’ve sent her articles for her back pocket about how the CDC and CMS aren’t even requiring it FOR CLINICAL STAFF anymore. And of course the one Jeff linked to last week about the 50K Cleveland Clinic employees who were more likely to get the ‘vid if boosted.
California, says it all
Its not California per se. Its the hospital
And some of the missions sites. It is something you’re more likely to see in CA than many other states, and I think the church should have recognized and planned better for the difficulties choosing CA for tour would present for youth and their families.
$5 MILLION DOLLAR MAN. A denizen of San Francisco demands reparations for slavery. Listen to Turfseer’s latest hit song. https://turfseer.substack.com/p/5-million-dollar-man
That church is compromised. What would Jesus do? Not what they are doing to your daughter.
Amen to that!
I would never let my child go to San Fransicko! I was “fired” (forced retirement) 2 years ago from The City. I refused the testing/jab after 23 years, and my bf after 17 years! I’m a 3rd generation SFer.
SF IS SODDAM AND GOMORRAH! Her angels protected her! Let her know she is in very good company with many! ✝️✝️✝️💕
I can sort of understand the church rules before we all knew the jabs were ineffective and unsafe. But now?! 2021 called and wants its misinformation back.
Yes, and I’m supposed to sacrifice my child’s health and life to support your virtue-signaling and appease your irrational fears of catching a cold? No thanks!
Well said!! Spot on.
There are still organizations doing this?
Leave that “church” and never give them more of your time or money.
That is the plan.
Send her over to Hyde St Pier national park - my daughter is volunteering on restoring the historic sailing ships with a crew of Sea scouts - no vaccines required!
Wow, that’s wonderful!
I pray she stays strong. Is this for COVID jabs or all jabs? I wonder if the SF hospitals and authorities are making these rules for visitors?
Only CV jabs. Not one single question about more relevant health issues, especially while being housed in college dorms, like meningitis and pneumonia vax, or hepatitis status. Or mono — which her assigned roommate who’s giving her a hard time actually has!
I'll jump in again. With the massive influx of 3rd world immigrants covid is the least of the diseases to watch for. TB and polio are on the uptick. Lice, cholera, measles. I will only go to a hospital for a traumatic injury, and getting staff may kill me anyway. It sounds like your daughter will stay away from STD's, good job mom, but as Jeff mentioned, stay away from the SF festivals. I can only guess that these diseases are the penalty for the life style we are living.
There's someone on the planet who still thinks that the vaccines work? And against variants that no longer exist ? Would having taken the original 2 shots against the ancestral & Delta variants that haven't been around for 1-1/2 years be acceptable - even though now they are outlawed ? They've lived in the world, caught Covid six times, take 2 shots and 3 boosters and ....... come to what conclusion exactly ?
Yes, my daughter had to quit rotc in college. This is their battle.
What? There are still places mandating the vax? What hospital?
Laguna Honda
Oh man, Laguna Honda is a snake pit. Decades ago I took a nursing assistant course through a community college in SF, and we did a rotation there. We were told we couldn't say anything or speak out when the nurses were punching the patients. I can't imagine that it's any better now. I remember a nurse who was supposed to be wearing isolation PPE to come into a room, and she winked and just lifted up her plastic apron, no doubt spreading whatever infectious disease the patient had. Can't remember now lol.
That is horrible. Those patients certainly need a message of love and hope, but they won’t be receiving it from my child this time around.
Let me take a wild guess. This church is Evangelical Lutheran and interprets Galatians 3:28 as endorsing homosexuality.
How long before someone digs up a Hotez/Epstein connection? He sports all the hallmarks of a Creepasarus. Violating positions of trust seems to fill alot of pages of the playbook with these whack jobs. Pediatrician?!....Run fast, run far! Put unwavering trust in establishment officials at your own peril.
Something really doesn't make sense with him. They could not have picked a less-photogenic individual, the guy is a mess. He's physically unhealthy, dresses like a slob, and can't be bothered to groom himself. Yet this is who the media, the medical establishment, and academia held up as a wise leader that we aren't allowed to question?
I don't usually think too much about people's appearances, not everyone was born attractive after all. However, being a slob is different. There are basic steps anyone can easily take to make themselves *presentable* that cost almost nothing except a little time. Seriously, the rest of us have to look at him, he's all over the TV, yet he still can't be bothered? It's like mowing the lawn. You may not care what your lawn looks like but at least do it for your neighbors who have to look at it.
People who can't be bothered to make themselves look presentable are telling us they don't care what others think. It's a sign of arrogance and self-centeredness in my experience, which puts them in the untrustworthy column until proven otherwise.
Hell, Fetterman recently stood on a public stage with POTUS wearing shorts and a hoodie. I think your mistake is giving too much credit to the left. Have you taken a good look lately at the lefties in charge? They're all mostly very unattractive people.
The collage of “health ministers” is quite revealing....
It's like a freakin' Monty Python revival meeting ..........
Ministry of Sickly Waddles
😆
There's a difference between ugliness that's an accident of birth and just being a slob. Fetterman may not be the most attractive guy but he looks infinitely better in a suit and tie than he does in his hobo attire. Yet he chooses to dress that way.
The most likely explanation is that he dresses that way out of his contempt for others. And he's been doing it long before his recent stroke.
Yes the fact that he did it before his stroke is telling. After a stroke sometimes people have difficulty with everyday actions like getting dressed and certain types of clothing are just easier to put on, so I might’ve given him a pass on it. But clearly he already didn’t care about his presentation well before that happened.
He should NEVER have been appointed senator! PA has no representation in the Senate. (What-about-Bob Casey is as useless as a glass hammer and always has been!)
Agree.
As stated above.
And nasty.
My friends and I were just talking about this the other day, regarding a lot of people's inclination to just look sloppy. Seeing things from people going to WalMart in their pajamas, to what passes for church attire, we were lamenting that it just looks like people don't care. I suppose part of it is that we all grew up in the 80's, where John Malloy's 'Dress for Success' was pounded into our heads as gospel by our HS and college teachers. I am not super crazy, but in the last few years I have been to several client meetings where I am hitting some middle ground between business casual and formal and my (younger mostly) clients show up in sweats and a tshirt, or maybe a step up from that. So I dunno, I will continue to try to look presentable in public save a trip to the hardware store in the middle of a weekend project, but I do wonder if this increased casualness actually is saying something or if I am just an old snob.
It's funny as I attend Calvary Chapel which is famous for it's "come as you are" environment. However, that doesn't mean come to church dressed as a slob. It means that Jesus will meet you wherever you are, if you reach out to Him no matter your circumstances He will be there for you. You don't need a shower, shave, and a suit to call His name.
However, after being a Christian for a while going to church unshaven in flip-flops and cargo shorts is just tacky IMO. It's a sign of respect that we make ourselves look presentable to God just as we do to others. That doesn't mean buying thousand of dollars in clothes, but being washed, groomed, and dressed appropriately. It's a sign of spiritual maturity and growth, and recognizing one is in the presence of a holy God (key word being holy).
Like you I always make myself look presentable when going out, the exception being a run to the auto parts store when I'm in the middle of a repair. As to showing up in a meeting in sweats and a t-shirt, the idea is unthinkable to me. Whether these kids realize it or not, people will notice it and draw conclusions from it. And unless they are stellar at their jobs it will affect their career advancement as people's impression will be that they are not serious people. Running a business is a serious enterprise, and if people give the impression that they don't care it's noticed.
American society use to be quite formal in dress, in all social strata. Now from Walmart to church, it's gotten beyond relaxed. I think it is a reflection on the culture. For example, the Latin culture still maintains a very smart appearance. I've seen mothers grocery shopping with kids in tow and she is dressed very smartly. However, that is changing here in the states. I also see some European cultures where the people still dress very smartly and attractively. We've become very sloppy.
We are lacking in self discipline ehich was something hammered into folks many decades ago: Waiting and sitting for dinner with family; less snacking and less food; standing straight with good posture; sitting properly, dressing nicely to do something outside the house, etc...remember your grandparents! Proper pride and self respect.
I agree.
Well yes, our church is pretty much come as you are but did have a pastor a few years ago who would persist with 'gentle reminders' that you are coming to the house of God and that some level of decorum should reflect that. Not expensive to look nice at all. I am actually a thrift store shopper for some things, started when my kids were growing like weeds and money was tight and have just gotten hooked. The store supports a boot camp to help transition homeless families to self sufficiency so I can pick up a bargain and feel good about how I spend my money, usually just pay with cash and leave a tip.
When our boys were young, they grew out of their clothes on what seemed like a daily basis. I was able to clothe them in places like Old Navy for +/- $20 per outfit and still have them look completely presentable.
Three peculiar words spring to mind: Sam Bankman-Fried 😉
It would also seem to imply that Hotez feels so absolutely secure in his position.
No additional effort is necessary.
The New Standard is that there are No Standards. The mirror image is that the New Normal is The Abnormal. The New Law is Lawlessness. Woke Marxism turns everything upside down.
Creative Destruction is their middle name.
I think you're onto something here. It actually plays into the "stay at home" order from the COVID regime. Once people started wearing their sweats to work from home, I think maybe this laissez-faire attitude about grooming became more "normal" when the world started opening up again. I know that this trend did start before the Lock Down, but I think it got reinforced. Maybe it's part of the whole plan of devolution? 🤔
Lack of Standards, lack of law, devolution and destruction ... it is an across the board conscious strategy decades old now ... and so that 'they' can 'build back better' with their Marxist Wokeness.
I discovered the below quote more than ten years ago from Michael Ledeen whom I describe as being a Neocon theorist. And it was quite a shock that national leaders, advisors could be saying things like this. Right or Left, it does not matter. 'They' of the Uniparty Establishment are all playing the same game, only from different angles of attack.
Notice the words in the first sentence 'both with our own society and abroad'. This tells you that we inside the countries of the West are also the enemies of Woke Marxist Globalism/NWO Tyranny. We and our families have been under continuous assault for a very long time. You can find Ledeen with a search. He is listed in Wikipedia.
Michael Ledeen:
“Creative destruction is our middle name, both with our own society and abroad. We tear down the old order every day, from business to science, literature, art, architecture, and the cinema to politics and the law. Our enemies have always hated this whirlwind of energy and creativity, which menaces their traditions (whatever they may be) and shames them for their inability to keep pace. Seeing America undo traditional societies, they fear us, for they do not wish to be undone. They cannot feel secure so long as we are there, for our very existence—our existence, not our politics—threatens their legitimacy. They must attack us in order to survive, just as we must destroy them to advance our historic mission.
Behind all the anti-American venom from the secular radicals in Baghdad, the religious fanatics in Tehran, the minority regime in Damascus, and the multicultural kleptomaniacs in the Palestinian Authority is the knowledge that they are hated by their own people. Their power rests on terror, recently directed against us, but always first and foremost, against their own citizens. Given the chance to express themselves freely, the Iraqis, Iranian, Syrian, Lebanese, and Palestinian people would oust their current oppressors. Properly waged, our revolutionary war will give them a chance.” (Cited Source: Cultural Insurrections, Kevin MacDonald, chapter on ‘Neoconservative Portraits’, p.185; the footnote reads Ledeen 2002; the bibliography expands this reference to: Ledeen 2002 War on the Terror Masters: Why it happened, Where we are now, Why We’ll Win. New York, St. Martin’s Press)
Wow I read this, then watched Tucker's episode 5. Damn, you 2 are on the same wavelength! ICYMI:
What we’re watching…is the total inversion of virtue What was once considered admirable, is now derided as stupid, or racist: achievement, intelligence, honesty, self-control, humility - those are features of the OLD America. Those were yesterday’s virtues, they are gone. In their place, all that we considered contemptable and repulsive, we are told to worship that now.
You might make someone “feel” bad if you dress nicer. 🙄😝
And it would be two bad if both me and De Wife were dressed nice at the same time!
(Poor De Wife! She what she has to put up with!)
If you have real pride in yourself and care about yourself, you don't let yourself go. Libbies hate themselves.
Pride goes before the fall... If you really care about others and yourself, you dress the part. I recall the days of going Christmas shopping at Phipps Plaza in Atlanta (where we had family) in the 80's and EVERYONE was dressed to the 9s. Then, back home to Gainesville, where 50% (on a good day) were dressed appropriately. Silly me, I really liked it.
No, I think it says, they don’t care what people think or feel. Self centered & lack of pride in themselves. Trying to hide lack of pride , & trying to convince the world that we are wrong.
I’m thinking through this, don’t quite have it developed: the “evil” seems to be redefining pride, personal responsibility and appearance. Seems we are supposed to support the lowest common denominator which drags us all into the gutter…
Agreed. It's no longer, "Do your best". It's "You don't need to bother".
I’ve noticed that too and while on the one hand I appreciate that we’ve gotten away from having to put on lipstick and a dress to go to the grocery store, lest you be harshly judged, I think it’s gone way too far in the other direction, personally. I have always liked to look and feel put together and presentable and don’t judge those who prefer more casual dress (except when it’s clearly inappropriate, I mean come on, you can make a little bit of an effort for a job interview, a funeral, or something like that). But I feel like it’s definitely gotten to be extreme, where people really just don’t care and even flaunt their slovenliness. I continue to dress up and because I like it but also because in many situations, it gives me an advantage. At work events I try to look very polished and I think that affects people’s perception in a positive way. I remember when even going to a somewhat casual restaurant, everyone dressed nicely. I kind of miss that now tbh 😕
Showing my age but I can recall that people dressed up for airplane trips prior to deregulation. I was a child of an employee so it was mandated for us but most everyone did.
At my eldest's recent graduation, I was one of maybe a dozen parents that had a button down shirt and slacks on... but for full disclosure was probably the first time I wore one since a funeral years ago. Haven't done the slovenly look since the grunge era, and that was just "stick it to the man" rebelliousness.
Yes! I remember the dressing up to fly era too!
Yes! My brother applied for a job with Delta airlines in the summer after high school. They flew him to Miami for the interview but when he walked in they sent him back on the next plane... He didn't wear a tie! He had on khakis, leather loafers and a white short sleeve button up shirt, tucked in and a new leather belt. No tie. My mother was furious... he needed that job and had decided against her wishes, that he "dress for success" and wear that tie. I had to catch a flight out of New Orleans with my date after a fancy dinner party. We boarded with our dinner party clothes still on. They thought we were VIPs and had us sit in First Class... I'll never forget that treat! We kept telling them we didn't work for the airlines but his tuxedo and my formal weren't enough to settle their minds... Lol. I still dress nice to fly and have raised our girls to do the same. Our eldest flew a direct flight from Madrid to Miami in First Class returning home from school abroad after a semester, because she was "dressed up." Her classmates missed out.
Those are great stories! I agree, you have a better chance of being treated extra nicely when you dress well.
Same. Honestly I feel more confident when I am presentable, and think people do tend to take you more seriously when you are not looking like you came straight from the laundry heap in the corner of the bedroom. But have to toss in a story a sales trainer 'business friend' told me. She used to sell cars, and an older gentlemen, in raggedy overalls and 3 days of stubble came in to look at new trucks. She was the newest salesperson on the floor and all the senior sales people blew him off. He bought 4 trucks that day, wrote a check. Turns out he had a very profitable farming operation. So there's that. But I don't own a pair of overalls, lol. And can't write a check for one truck, let alone 4.
“Honestly I feel more confident when I am presentable, and think people do tend to take you more seriously when you are not looking like you came straight from the laundry heap in the corner of the bedroom.”
That sentence expresses exactly what I feel too.
And while I myself would prefer dressing up, I wouldn’t dream of mistreating or blowing someone off because of the way they are dressed. Like you said, not only do you never know who they are, but just on principle you shouldn’t treat someone worse because they don’t have nice clothes. Now based on their behavior, well that’s.a whole different story.
Yes, my father in law and dad were both very similar men - both blue collar salt of the earth guys who scrimped and saved and worked hard their whole lives. Both great men, both had very comfortable retirements due to the fruits of their labor. My father in law only wore a suit once in a very great while and bitched about wearing it the whole time, he hated dressing up, jeans and overalls were his uniform. My dad on the other hand, loved dressing up, he wore full suit and tie to church every Sunday and just about any occasion even when he was 'over dressed'. So yeah, book by its cover and all that. Miss them both, regardless of what they wore!
Or the bra-less women who clearly need support and the stretched to the max "yoga" pants
The Walmart pajamas are not quite as disgusting as are the lard-locked beltless men and women with the top half of their butt cracks proudly sparkling, for all to see and enjoy.
Bless you, I say!
Libbies don't like attractive people. They cannot identify with them.
Those with natural physical beauty need not play social victim cards. Thus progressives cannot define their intersectionality, and resent them.
Not all of us past “libbies” thought that. Just sayin.
Good. 🙂
Yep
That’s not true--cuz there are so many good looking libs. Look at RFK Jr. And most of Hollywood. The Hollywood crowd pays a lot to look attractive.
I don’t care what others think of me, but I won’t even take my dog out front to potty looking like I just got out of bed and didn’t bother to brush my hair. It’s just common decency.
That’s because your mamma raised you right.
Common Decency is in extremely low supply 😢
My guess is they're going for the nerdy genius look. So over the top smart but not good with day to day stuff like basic grooming (think Doc Brown).
After all, you don't want him to look like he's got $35 mil stashed away. It's a good sales pitch to the sheep.
He is a cartoon character. That is the draw.
Yes! A caricature of a scholarly persona. He failed.
I saw the clip of him on Joe Rogan's podcast saying he's a junk food aholic, fast food, no vitamins (his wife is working on it for him???) and Joe tells him he's crazy for the line of work he's in and we should follow you for health advice? 😳
He just laughed about it.
Meh, he is just your typical absent minded professor type guy. They don't hafta follow the social norms, ya' know. 🙄
That's the whole point, we follow the norms out of consideration for others. He apparently has none.
You really can tell a book by it's cover.
That cover says pedophile to me. I would walk back out the door with my child if he was the doctor.
Well it’s my arrogance and love of self over the masses that kept me unjabbed 🤣
True Jeff C…and that’s probably the least of his flaws but it’s a great visible and obvious clue to his character.
What I find amazing is that the world tells us we are not allowed to draw conclusions about others based on how they conduct or present themselves. That doing so is somehow heartless or bigoted. Yet God gave us a sense of perception and judgement for good reason.
My highest priority after God is protecting my family. If we are in a public place and I sense something is "off" we leave. I don't stand around waiting for mayhem to break loose because leaving might seem judgmental. Yet the world has conditioned us to do exactly this.
Is no different when deciding if someone deserves our trust, particularly when it comes to the well-being of our family.
The Gift of Fear! They are trying to silence it. I feel it when I look at the ‘festival’ picture. I know it’s wrong for that to be public. ( I do not care what consenting adults do it private). My gut reacts and I will listen. Call me any name you want. This is why they want the kids, so they can silence their gift of fear.
It's on my reading list, just wish he had called it something different, perhaps "the gift of discernment". Probably wouldn't sell as many books but far more accurate IMO. There's nothing fearful about evaluating your surroundings and acting in your family's best interests.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Gift_of_Fear
Overly long, but a recommended read, especially for females and smaller folks of both (BOTH) genders. There is much to be said for author de Becker's approach to heightened awareness of one's immediate environment, and the cues that enter it.
It's absolutely a sign on narcissistic tendencies as well. Hotez SCREAMS narcissist.
Maybe Hotez is evil BECAUSE he’s short, fat and ugly. Revenge of the nerds?
height doesn't have anything to do with character. Audie Murphy was 5-3.
Biden is over 6 foot and he's a turd.
Slime loving Losers are all they have to work with.
Every time I see Peter Hotez, I think it's a Roald Dahl caricature - but then realize NOPE.
Hippy thinking never bathe and do your own thing...
Hotez is right up there with Bill nye the science guy. A fraud and a turd of a human being.
Yep. Both have the lame lab jacket and dopie bowtie grift going. And massive lefty science propaganda.
The ONLY purpose of the lab jacket is to project authority. I prefer the docs who don't wear one.
Remember when Ovomit had a crew of those lab coats lined up in the Rose Garden to push his nasty healthcare? Dollars to donuts, not one of them was an actual doctor😣
And Hotez must be a gnome. Did you notice he was about 5 inches shorter than Fauci in the picture of them side by side? And Fauci is a toad.
That's an insult to toads!
You're right, Nancy. I a[ologize to all toaddom.
🥰
Hey I like bow ties.
It’s like rainbows. Lefties ruined them too.
Yep
So the moral of the story is.... never trust a man in a bowtie?
Pedoatrician
Another ingenious new term, to add to the lexicon. Thanks!
No doubt.
Imagine having to take your kid to Children's Hospital and he walks in the room, "Hello, I'm Dr. Hotez, I'll be treating your child..."
Ahhhh! Run away ! I've had nightmares less scary.
My thoughts too!
Would like to think that it would be quite difficult to get away with being a "waffling whore" ...... but one cannot be that naive. The game has changed too much, the field is overrun with sheep who all too willingly follow anyone who steps forward and suggests "I am the Science".
Ignoramasauruses, all.
And he’s on staff at my alma mater--Baylor! I cannot believe it. Actually, I can. And it just makes me so mad.
Don't ever trust Rep. Dan Crenshaw. He is a proven RINO and a disappointment to whoever believed in him. The hill for him to die on should be our wide open borders which is letting in terrorists, murderers and children sex traffickers.
And whoop-de-do: It only took Durham six years to write a report about a lie we all recognized from the start. He is another greedy b***ard who stayed on the payroll for six years to tell us what we already knew.
Alex Stein calls him "Eye-patch McCain"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GuMRJS0cSvE
I love Alex Stein 99...he's awesome!
He lost his mother to Run-death-is-near that was given to her at Baylor hospital, against the family's instructions. They were suing the hospital. https://thelibertydaily.substack.com/p/a-different-side-of-alex-stein-they
Good one.
Crenshaw is a sell out RINO.
Yes, Crenshaw, trying to resurrect some credibility with a very easy issue to get supporters for.
IDK, but advertising your injury, affliction or whatever you want to call it, is begging for pity. Brian Mast, Rep from Florida is another example of that. He walks around wearing Bermuda shorts calling attention to his prosthetic legs. That’s the first thing you see when you look at them. It’s like painting your hair green, pleading before the Supreme Court Justices and expect to be taken seriously.
How do you not "advertise" missing an eye? It's not exactly something you can hide under clothing.
They have prosthetic eyes. Unless, of course he is not a candidate for one. Still, it’s the first thing you see.
Ben Swann @BenSwann_ Does anyone else find it odd that Peter Hotez is wearing a lab coat for an interview from his home office?

some comments:
--The Milgram Experiment: Milgram found that 65% of his subjects were willing to give apparently harmful electric shocks—up to 450 volts—to a pitifully protesting victim, simply because a scientific, *lab coated* authority commanded them to.
--Observation: The man with an autistic child is telling everyone to inject vaccines into our children, while refusing to debate RFKjr, who presented data and information linking child vaccines to a rise in autism.
--I’m surprised he doesn’t have a stethoscope around his neck.
My 10 year old daughter is autistic and I’m filled with regret over listening to and believing the medical establishment. Regret is painful. It sucks.
Having said that, her life has been a beautiful example of God’s forgiveness. We work very hard together so that she can overcome many of her challenges related to autism.
I came to understand early on, that the ‘experts’ that were sent to help her, even those with good intentions, didn’t actually help but were harmful to her. Early intervention, ABA therapy, was not helpful. One such ‘expert’ even suggested keeping her in a locked room alone with the therapist while she cried for me. Um, NO.
I saw this further travesty getting ready to unfold, and so I did my own research.
If there are any parents of an autistic child on this thread, Relationship Development Intervention (RDI) which is a parent led therapy, (not implemented by therapists) has helped my daughter immensely. I also have homeschooled her with a Christian curriculum since the first grade.
She’s now doing similar work as her neurotypical peers.
My daughter will always have challenges though. But I’ve learned (the hard way) that her dad and I were always and are now her best teachers and protectors. The professionals don’t actually care about her future honestly.
God offers not only eternal salvation but redemption here on earth. I have shed many tears over the very thought of God and His forgiveness and redeeming love for me. The work and the love I have put into my little girl’s life, along with God’s loving and righteous hand on her, has given me hope for her future. He’s working miracles still!
I'm completely in agreement with you! God is here! We went the medical route with one daughter who had profound ADHD and "comorbidities." She was bullied mercilessly by teachers, other parents other children, and family... it was hell! We tried about every kind of med out there to little relief. I had two elderly parents and an elderly aunt I was caring for, along with 2 older daughters we were raising at the time. Then my eldest (of the three young ones), was diagnosed with leukemia, and that sent the ADHD addled child into depression mode so severe we were forced to pull her out of private school. She ended up at the child development center where her doctors and therapists taught her... She attended homeschool, 4 different private schools, and her senior year in high school, the tutor bill was double the monthly tuition. We had too many therapists to count, (but I know the number) a neuro-pediatric psychiatrist, then pediatric psychiatrist with 5 board certifications...they all pushed every new big pHARMa drug. We delayed treatment most of the time. Then the diagnoses began to mount up. She spent a 3 dayer in rehab after one med caused serious suicide ideation and boy did that open our eyes! My parents and aunt passed away as she finished high school. She had one thing that really kept her from falling away... God. He gave her the most beautiful voice, an effervescent personality with the most incredible heaping helping of empathy ever witnessed... She could figure people out so fast... Never ever did I doubt God had a plan! We were told to "try to keep her on her meds until she's 25, her brain may wake up..." So that was the "aim." She was getting around with her singing and enjoying life after 23yrs...then, unbeknownst to us, she stopped all of her meds, cold turkey. She'd always been told she could not. Well, she did. Then six weeks later she told us she, "felt life was not to be lived in a cloud..." and she freed herself from that prison. We experienced many terrible events when meds were not taken when she was much younger, but somehow it was the right time for her when she stopped. Today she's earning her way, doing fantastic and preaching to folks she meets about the downside of medications for ADHD and the "stuff that goes with it." It's all about diet, exercise, self care and loving on everyone she meets. An incredibly sweet young lady who lived inside the worst of storms! She was born in 1994. Our maternal niece and our paternal nephew, one month prior. The niece, total agenesis of the corpus collossum. The nephew, high functioning aspergers. Don't think for a second I didn't wonder what was sprayed in the air or sprayed on food along the Eastern Seaboard during our pregnancies! But, my faith grew exponentially. We made lots of mistakes but God's grace covers a multitude of sin and mistakes! We endured because He endures. My husband's lack of trust in a holy plan had him convinced we'd be raising her the rest of our lives in our home, on our dime. I never stopped believing my God had her life covered. He has more than provided! Providential care for His children! You are a very blessed mother!
And now when I see "Maggie Think of Me" I will do so with amazement! You are very special and God bless you for all you have done and I'm sure there will be more.
How very sweet of you, brother! Thank you. I cannot take any credit, if not for Jesus' incredible, indivisible, indestructable, infallible love, I'd have given up. I look back in stunned humility. The "Maggie Think of Me" is in honor of the goodness of God for our "Maggie." She sings, "Think of Me" from Phantom of the Opera with such ease, with such a glorious voice, I have a hard time believing she's ours! He gave me the desire and the opportunity to live on my knees in humble obedience. Caring for 3 elderly adults along with our 4 girls was not easy. Mere months before my eldest was diagnosed with leukemia, my husband lost his ability to operate and it ended his career in the practice of medicine due to his disability insurance rules. Redirection means being able to pick everyone back up, dist off, and keep pushing forward. Our pastor in our early years had preached on Satan's tactics one Sunday. One of the things he said that stuck with me was, "Satan doesn't go after the unbelievers! No, he goes after those who are in the midst of the battle for their faith, those that cling to the Rock. He is relentlessly trying to find a way in, to break that bond. If Satan isn't fighting for you, you aren't living in Him!" I know that to be true. The fight was at every turn. We perservered. God was faithful throughout the fiercest battles, the sleepless nights, the endless days, the depression, the chemo, the ADHD, the anxiety, and the victories. He was immovable! He never failed. He hid is in the Cleft of His Rock.
Praise God for your testimony!
Thank you, brother! Giving all the glory to God!
Well said, I completely agree!
Yes!
I only recently found out about a wonderful psychologist named Roger McFillin. He did a podcast with Allie Beth Stuckey, and my daughter, who struggles with anxiety, asked me to listen to it with her. He's great--a libertarian who is fighting against the narrative of mental "illness." https://www.drmcfillin.com/
I've just been listening to his interview with Dr. Chuck Ruby, author of Smoke and Mirrors: How You Are Being Fooled About Mental Illness - An Insider's Warning to Consumers. Jeff is right about the pandemic. I started out being skeptical of COVID, and it has led me to truth in so many areas that I would not otherwise have considered.
Amen! Waking up the sleeping dragon. My daughter wants nothing to do with the medical establishment now and neither do I.
Thank you for your kind words and sharing your story Maggie! 🙏🏻
Wow... Your family has been through it all! Your daughter sounds like an amazing young woman. God doesn’t keep us from troubles, but He goes before us, never lets go of those of us who belong to Him! You sound like an amazing mom. God has also blessed you through your trials. 💗💗💗
Maggie Think of Me, thank your for sharing. Sadly, I think it’s the childhood v- schedule that definitely could of contributed to your daughter’s diagnosis. I think it depends on your zip code. They have crafty ways after reading Turtles allThe way Down of cleverly dispersing lot numbers to various regions throughout your county. So that’s how they get away it having only a small portion have adverse reactions. It’s literally playing Russian roulette what goes in the arm. This is my theory any way. Can’t prove nothing. But I can look at both of my children and their issues and their shot schedules and tie things together. Back then I didn’t know any better and trusted the Pediatrician. So many common health issues are basically caused by all these harmful adjacents they use.
God is so good and healing when we consult Him 1st!
I agree with that accessment. We told our pediatrician we didn't feel comfortable giving her vaccines on their schedule. She was one of many who had a strange cry after a combo DPT I think (I should remember!), and he spoke up and said, no more for her. I had to fight with every pediatrician after that. When she was 11 they started pushing Guardisil (spel?). I was adamant! "NO!" Every one of her doctors pushed it on us! When my husband accompanied me, they would push him. But, I fought tooth and nail and told her to fight it as well. We stopped all vaccines for her. When Covid came she already knew it wasn't going into her am in vax form. And she lost a high paying job because she refused! They accepted her religious exemption then started changing her hours and schedule. Did everything they could to break her, hoping she'd give in. Nope! They had her meet with HR six weeks after that and fired her. She could have sued them. (Jeff helped us get the religious exemption letters she needed). But, she decided to walk away because she was able to find another job and then something finally came along. If I knew then, what I know now, there would have been no vaccines for any of our daughters. None of my brother's children were vaxxed. Never sick. Then his grandchildren and the great grandbabies, not one have been vaxxed and they're as healthy as horses!
Thank you for the reply! I wish I would of have woken up sooner. My oldest was injured by the HPV. That’s is what led me on the journey and why I taken the time to learn about it all. It did prepare us for the last 3 years of C-vd mania!
We are standing here today healthy because of God’s Grace and being able to discern and look at what will help the body verses hurt!
Yes! The best we can do!
God bless you Steph. Your little girl is blessed to have a mom like you looking after her best interests. I believe parents are the best teachers and protectors. Do you think her autism is related to vaccines? Thank you for sharing this story; you have been an inspiration to me today.
Hi Julie, thank you for your kind words! 🙏🏻💗
I can’t know for sure that it was the vaccines. But I suspect based on her steady regression in her intellectual and emotional ability into 22 months, after most of the infant/toddler vaccines were given to her. She went from being very interactive, knowing all the animal sounds and belly laughing to a stoic and sort of ‘spaced out’ disposition.
The pediatrician gave us a standard form at 18 or 20 months that asked if our daughter answered to her own name. I answered no. The pedi passively told us with a shoulder shrug that it’s possible our daughter is on the spectrum and abruptly left the room after giving us a referral to a specialist.
After perfect hearing test results, the pediatric neurologist confirmed the autism diagnosis. It was a roller coaster ride for 4 years after that. We are just now hitting our stride with the perfect balance of therapy led by us, and homeschool. She also attends a Christian school for extracurricular activities and socialization. She is thriving and loves her family and the Lord. ♥️
She has taught me so much about life. God is good!
He is faithful. Great job mom and dad!
If only we all had known the truth about vaccines prior to Covid. I’m a retired RN with 32 years of experience and have been shocked at all I’ve learned recently. One of my good friends had a beautiful baby boy and I was there at the delivery. Around 18 months she started noticing some delays that were odd compared to her first child and shortly afterwards was diagnosed with autism as well. God is faithful and so kind and loving with whatever we face in this fallen world and I admire how you’ve handled the situation. I’ll remember you and your family in my prayers.
I found your post very moving—the work you have done and the way you have framed these challenges is very admirable. God bless you and your family!
Thank you! 🙏🏻
God bless you.
You are fighting daily for her, and she is blessed for it. 🩷 I wanted to ask, though, have you ever looked into homeopathy? We love homeopathy and have used it for our family, almost exclusively, for about 15 years. Healing autism is just one of the many amazing things it can do. @theautismhomeopath on Instagram would be a great place to start, if you want to look into it.
Beautifully said, Steph. 💕
This absolutely warmed my heart! Truly an example of how the Lord walks with us through the trials of life. You and your daughter are more Christlike because of this experience. It’s like Romans 8:28 come to life. Thank you so much for sharing.
I have a 1-year-old granddaughter and am trying to gracefully present my daughter (her mother) with the evidence and dangers that have been revealed in childhood vaccines. The CDC and the medical professionals have such a stranglehold on the narrative. I just pray that she will listen and that my granddaughter doesn’t become a statistic.
The only purpose of a lab coat is to project authority. Seriously.
Yup, it's trappings no different than ceremonial garb. The whole doctor/patient relationship is like a priesthood. The diploma, AMA certificate, the state licensing certificate all displayed on the wall showing they are member of the priesthood. You call them by title, they call you by first name. If you decline to follow their direction, you are "non compliant" as if their direction is mandatory.
Seinfeld had a great bit about how whenever you go to the doctor, the first thing they do is make you sit there with no pants on, as if it's a humiliation ritual. After that, anyone who walks in wearing pants automatically seems competent. Pants always beats no pants.
And Elaine's medical record as a "non-compliant" patient followed her from one doctor to another. Very damning!
So many great observations about life and human nature on those shows!
We often quote the pants always beats no pants in our house.
Docs testifying for and against the c man date bill in the state legislature... the ones pushing FOR man dates (opposed to the bill) all showed up with white coats. The ones opposed to man dates all showed up without. It was truly revolting.
Ugh 😑
The lab coat helps us identify the Pharisees in the room quicker.
Part of his costume.
All those sponsorship insignia. Like a race car driver. Probably a big Pfizer logo on the back.
He is the defination of creepy, weird scientist. And that is being kind...
Fauci liked to wear his lab coat everywhere too. Probably still wearing it now.
Probably wears it in the shower and to bed also 😆
Hotez is the Paul Krugman of medical doctors. He needs to be stroking a cat while wearing the lab coat.
Anyone who wears a white lab coat in a setting other than where it’s required is suspect to me. My reaction is like my dog’s when it sees a trash can/dustbin on the sidewalk/pavement.
Agreed. The same with doctors who use their title in a non-professional setting.
Ha! Query: When is a lab coat required? Isn't the answer never?
He's a cartoon character like Nye with the bow ties. Talk about a simulation and cast of characters they've developed over years for the cameras, including Bezos, Gates and others.
WHOA! Seriously? Hotez has an autistic son? OK... that's too spooky to be true, right?
Edit: daughter- that may be the most frightening karmic correlation I have ever read. No wonder he won’t debate & reco’s all the vaxxes all the time.
Daughter. He wrote a pro-vaccine book using her as an emotional prop.
He brags about taking her out for sugary fast food. He’s a nutritional disaster.
Wow that’s disgusting 😳
Good observation! And I guess for Mr. Lab Coat it is all about the money and God, family, morals, being a decent human being, let it all be damned.
For some of us, this level of depravity is hard to process.
Makes him look so official and legit and oddly even weirder.
The pictures I've been seeing of Hotez have been really bothering me with a sense of familiarity, and I finally realized why ... he looks just like Dr Casper Darling from "Control"! Round glasses, bow tie, lab coat, messy hair, etc ... he just needs a vest and a coffee mug!
My blood pressure rises with a white coat in the room!
I once worked for weight loss company and was required to wear a lab coat and a stethoscope around my neck. You know...for credibility. They even taught me to draw blood. I was a college student at the the time. Studying COMMUNICATIONS. I quit a couple of months in...it felt unethical to my 20 year old self. I guess Dr. H has lost touch with his 20 year old self :/.
Lots of Hotez comments already...lol.
"Peter Hotez is an unkempt gasbag decorated with a ridiculous bowtie, without which he would look remarkably like a serial killer."
Let's be honest. If he looks like a serial killer, that's because he is one. And so is any doctor who pushed the vaxx.
It wouldn't be lack of a bowtie, but reading his curriculum vitae, that would make him look like a serial killer.
If humanity is still around in 50 years, people will be getting cancelled for having their picture taken in a lab coat at college halloween parties.
With the face he is making someone ought to paste it onto a picture of someone on the can.....
Nailed it! 🥰
$29.5 million at the box office? 🤦🏼♀️
That’s $29.5 million too much!
Makes you wonder if that is even correct. I don't trust numbers as tptb lie all the time.
Exactly! I don’t either. Poll numbers are garbage and I get tired of people citing poll numbers as a metric to anything. Did we learn nothing from 2016? As soon as tptb give us numbers to anything we should know the opposite is true.
I think their jab numbers are garbage, too. I have a feeling far fewer folks were punctured overall.
Just wait till the Biden administration requires the movie to be part of some core curriculum/condition of funding.
😂 😂 I’m laughing because it could happen!!! That’s the clown world we live in. 🤦🏼♀️ Another reason to pull kids out of govt schools!!!!
Yep. If I saw a headline like that, I would just shrug now.
The commercials are a complete turn off. I always mute and avert my eyes. It’s on some streaming apps CONTINUOUSLY (until it dies)
'Democrats accused Republicans of “attacking transgender youth” .'
There are no naturally occuring "transgender youth". Certainly there is a small group of people who have gender dysphoria. But the vast majority of what the Left calls "trans" are created through the mental and physical abuse euphemustically called affirmation, inflicted on vulnerable youths by parents, teachers, and medical professionals.
I remember growing up there were boys who were on the “wimpy” side and girls on the “tough” side.
At no point, ever, ever, did it cross our child minds that they were not boys and girls.
That insanity is pushed by sick adults on children.
Sick adults.
Unless something chemical is changing their chemistry …
https://rwmalonemd.substack.com/p/kennedy-is-right-atrazine-and-gender
That's quite possibly a factor (I follow Malone and read it today) but it doesn't account for the recent and massive spike in "trans kids" seen primarily in Western nations.
1) social contagion among minors
2) adult induced dysphoria formation in minors
You and Paul are both correct!
And by the way. I say this from first hand experience dealing with trans in our family. Sadly
“Peter Hotez is an unkempt gasbag decorated with a ridiculous bowtie, without which he would look remarkably like a serial killer.”
I absolutely agree. He is the most of unhealthy looking of the minions. I would run from him as if I was being chased by the devil.
He appears to be using the same hair stylist as Boris Johnson, who apparently uses a balloon as a comb.
😂😂😂
😆🤣
Oh my word, hilarious!!! 🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣
He looks like he needs a bath! 🛁🧼
That serial killer comment made me spit my tea out.
he is a Columbo wannabe.
Daskalakis says the Biden administration’s goals are to “support peoples’ joy” as opposed to stigmatizing them as “risky.” OH?? Like Grandma getting to see the grandkids??? Like family getting to visit loved ones in the in the hospital?? That kind of "joy" ??
Joy is easier to spell than depravity.
If Biden and the rest of our nation's Permanent Federal Bureaucracy would just GTFU of our lives, we would be closer to experiencing "joy".
Is this the same "trans joy" that the White House lawn flasher was living?
Good point! “What some see as risky, others see as a fun Friday visit with grandma.”
They were certainly willing to stomp on all kinds of joy in the COVID lockdowns. I guess the only kind of joy they consider necessary is sexual deviancy.
Joy of the perpetrators not the victims. ..

There are some days when the developments are too massive for me to keep up with. But, Jeff, I don’t know HOW you do it, but you keep me up. Do you ever sleep???? I, too, read your C&C post every day. And I pray for you. Thank you from a Delaware fan…trying hard to relocate to Santa Rosa County, Florida!!
My wife and I live in Santa Rosa County, Susan, and we highly recommend you make that move as soon as you can! God bless!
Thanks!!! Where do you live? We bought land in Pace last year. Trying to get a barn built!!! Thanks to “the White House resident” and his fabulous policies, we have lost some of our funding!! 🫣🙄😬. So we are figuring it out!!! But we are going to get there!!! ♥️
We live in the Gulf Breeze area, which is rapidly increasing in population - no doubt in large part due to the same issues you describe. The Pace area is experiencing the same thing, but I believe you’re on the right track and wish you all the best in your endeavors to establish a new life in this area.
Thanks!! We are excited. An adult daughter is joining us. She is an experienced speech pathologist and has been doing some research and networking needed for eventual employment there. 🙂
I am confident that it will prove to be a blessing to all of you and, through you, to others... The more freedom, truth-loving, principled individuals in this area and State, the better. If we can be of any assistance to you once you’re here, we’d be pleased to do so.
Thank you!!! That is so kind of you to offer!!
The easiest and quickest way to put a stop to this Trans lunacy is to remove the involvement of Private Insurance or Medicare. By going to a cash transaction, the parents of these children would actually have to evaluate the costs versus (currently just reaping) the benefit. Even a minimal search of pre & post transitioning costs finds them to be well above the ability to pay for the average American (hence why it’s such a good business for the “Industry”). No need to restrict anything, just make it an option for those who can afford to go their own way (much like cosmetic surgery, except for years of follow up hormones and complications related surgeries- all paid for out of pocket).
In dealing with this I was shocked to learn insurance companies pay for this.
Follow the money.
YOU and I pay for this, in form of higher premiums.
Just as we pay for the new urban "retail reparations" programs endorsed by leftist DAs, in form of higher property & loss premiums.
Just as we pay for those worthy virtuous and subsidized purchasers of electric cars, in form of higher income taxes.
Many of them want Medicaid to pay for the surgeries. Always someone else has to pay.
That's exactly what I said. Or...make it so that all "trans" surgeries have to be given by institutions on a pro bono basis. Let's see how enthusiastic they are about free affirmation.
And then maybe my premiums won't have to double each year to pay for these abominations.
Right????
That's the tricky part. The overlords will see to it that these are paid for by insurance & medicaid/medicare so the rest of us are funding this madness that only enriches them and further hurts , indebts the middle class.
But there must be restrictions!! We're talking about children! That's the most horrible part. They're jumping past the cross sex hormones, testosterone, drugs, etc and right in with the knives! They're cutting girls breasts off at 13 years of age! They castrating these children, then permanently scarring their limbs to fashion sexual organs! ENOUGH! They now allow abortion up to the point of birth and sex "change" therapy to start earlier and earlier. The MDs doing these surgeries are ghouls!! Why are insurance companies using our hard earned money to pay for these destructive surgeries? Where will we end up? We'll destroy children. It is mind boggling.
In the aforementioned Disney movie would it be fair to characterize the relationship of the Fire and Water characters as “steamy?”
Omg🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Funny not funny. Lol
I think that milley, Allen, Graham, Pelosi, nuland and all the neo con hawks should be sent to Ukraine to make up for the lost Ukrainian military members. They can use all their collective "expertise " with the troll zelensky to lead the offensive against Russia. Sure to be a victory. At least we will win if Russia takes them all out with a well placed missile.
So far Ukraine is winning the war. What happened to 3 days to kyiv?
The same thing that happened to "two weeks to flatten the curve"...money.
Bingo.
The JRE with RFK Jr was the highlight of my week. And then the complete idiotic move by Hotez to tweet about it being misinformation?!!! He has to be a complete narcissist to think he wouldn’t be vilified. The responses have been the shovel and pitchfork retaliation of our current day. The truth is setting us free! Wheeee!
I’m an hour into the RFKJ interview and I’m savoring every word! I love his story about how he became involved in vaccines. Being an expert in mercury from his River Keepers work, he knew Offit (?) was lying about the type of mercury in vaccines. Wish I was a fly in the wall when that conversation happened!
I have a solution to the doctors receiving pharma money. Those who take $ from pharma can be sued for vaccine injury. I like your idea of out-incentivizing them, but pharma will always outspend us. Putting liability on kick-back docs would force them to stop taking the money.
The law in place for these crooks is called
RICO.
But RICO has historically been for direct financial gain of a doctor receiving a kickback after writing many Rx’s or getting paid for a speaking engagements by a pharmaceutical company to promote the opioid they overprescribe? Has it been applied to vaccines? This feels a little different bc the doctors are trying to increase overall vaccine uptake. They may or may not be the administrator of the vaccine. I’m not an attorney, but maybe Jeff could explain why RICO isn’t currently used in the case of vaccines. I also wonder if vaccines aren’t seen as harmful in the same way an addictive drug like an opioid is accepted as dangerous & addictive (although, I see many similarities).
If someone wants to trot out RICO, they should start at NIH,NIAH and the CDC. These agencies are setting health policy for our country and mandating treatments that they own the patents on! How is that legal. Good health policy? Follow the money.

Ooh I like that idea!!
