Jeff Childers is a glass half-full kind of guy which is appreciated, nobody likes a sad-sack Eeyore. But we need to be clear-eyed about this, the MAGA agenda is in deep trouble.

The elections were a disaster and a wake-up call. Trump was roundly booed at a football game last weekend. He went on Laura Ingraham yesterday and said we had to admit 500,000 Chinese or half the universities would fail, and doing so was the MAGA agenda. He claimed the economy was great and he didn’t know what people were talking about when saying it isn’t.

Right now we have a coordinated effort from Conservative Inc to take out Tucker, JD Vance, and anyone else who isn’t sufficiently a pro-Israel sycophant. They responded to Charlie Kirk’s death not by demanding Antifa be destroyed, but by initiating a purity purge within the party. Defiantly non-Christians like Ben Shapiro are now telling us who we are, and who we aren’t, allowed to listen to. Trump has said nothing. Antifa went violently nuts at a TPUSA event in Berkeley last night, we get radio silence from the White House.

As the base, we need to make clear we will not tolerate this. Trump is turning into a delusional Boomer (apparently soaking up Fox News slop 24/7) right before our eyes. The man who nine months ago seemed to have learned so much from his first term, is now reverting to that form. This started with the Epstein cover up and has snowballed from there. Yes we love Trump but we do so because he stands for America (and Americans) first. This isn’t a cult of personality, If he fails to put America first then that support stops.

That loss of support is already happening, which is why the elections were such a wipe-out. Young people can’t buy homes and the Administration's response was a proposal for 50 year mortgages. Absolutely delusional and incredibly tone deaf. More debt? Insanity. Trump needs to course correct now or Republicans will lose the midterms in a landslide and the last two years of Trump will be nothing but lawfare and impeachments.

There have been a few positive signs after the election, but that Laura Ingraham interview yesterday was nuts and left me really concerned. Laura looked like she couldn’t believe what she was hearing. I pray he doesn’t believe what he said because if he does he (and we) are cooked.

Make your voice heard. We love Trump because he puts us first, but it’s not unconditional.

Edit: Holy moly, I posted this and went to work. Came home to 256 likes and 465 replies, including one each from the master Jeff Childers himself. The double whammy.

Scanning the replies I see them ranging from people sharing my concerns to others calling me a cross between Benedict Arnold and a leftist pretender. Lol. People calling each other names and questioning motives. What an ugly mess and a pretty good indicator of the state of the MAGA agenda, thus making my point. People weren't behaving like this in March.

Perception is reality, and the ONLY thing that matters is results not good intentions. The Republicans got spanked in the recent election hard. If that happens in 2026 then Trump 2.0 is over as a Democrat congress will use every tool imaginable to destroy his administration. Subpoenas, impeachments, tribunals, you name it. They want blood.

My comments were fact-based and pretty hard to refute, I didn't make anything up. That election result wasn't an illusion but a harsh reality. And right now that is the most important data point.

VDH has quite a different take which is more inline with Jeff's - good things don't get reported by the media for the most part but that doesn't mean they aren't happening - the media survives on controversy and loves democrats - no matter that democrats created the problems in the first place - Buyden runs inflation to 9+%,invites tens of million illegals, but Trump is criticized for not getting it under control in 10 mos.

Note how the doomers flood your positive comment.This financed flooding the boards with Doomers, while ignoring all the real gains and battles being fought is quite planned, with some victims of the mind set in their wake chiming in. (If you don't want to be called a "usefull Idiot", consider to think a lot more deeply about the issues and note the victories,) The attempt to undermine Trump is real and well financed. Destruction and color revolution is the one thing they do very well. While their view of Trump is very wrong, consider they offer no replacement. Destroy Trump and we will be back to square one with a socialist vengeance.

Many general complaints, none noting the many many contrary indications and Trump victories that are stopping and deporting illegals, arresting organized crime and women caught in sex trafficking, changes to the H1B visa program, a great deal of investment in the US, dependent on Trump victories against the deep state attorneys, the appropriate targeting of international criminal cartels deeply attached to foreign governments, and multiple faceted efforts to true the vote being viciously fought by the deep state. Concerning the Middle East nations understand that a significant portion of them have rejected the ideal of Islam as practiced for centuries, quite frankly they want business and international business, and capitalism. They know the destruction of Islmaists, just as Putin knows the failures of the Soviet Union. Our host Jeff C must be deeply concerned to see the wave of posters, always first to comment, and receive quick upvotes, hijack a thread, attack Israel and Jews as the cause of all the world's problems, even attack Jeff C just as they attacked Robert Malone and many other honorables. Please dive deep into the issues yourself and consider the massive global organizations as well as the entrenched deep state that Trump is fighting. They are now exerting a last gasp to undermine Trump and make certain he never happens again.

But not being able to articulate even one. You are disagreeing with winning, which is what Trump's administration and agenda is doing for all of us.

I want Dominion to lawsuit Jasmine Crockofsh-t like they did Trump Team and the Pillow pusher. Perception rules US media-tabloid coverage and polls while pushing the moronic middle to ebb and flow between MAGA and Marx. Debating facts is fine but the voters in our pop-culture driven democracy do need more than dry data. They need messaging (propaganda as Obama-Biden-Harris acknowledged). Trump can simply use the term "windfall profiteering!" to message getting meat prices down, even as a booming demand or other factors are calmly, rationally explained to the rest of us. The "No Kings!" message smack in the midst of October election season was brilliant! NO FACTS required! My local CO paper editor fact-checked the Fk out of my opinion piece and then changed it with false numbers among other commie-tricks. Did he/him/his bother to fact check accusations of Trump's FASCISM and Monarchism????

For one thing Israel can fight for itself. NO MORE MONEY TO THEM. It's fair for Christian Americans to fight for Our country and not (((theirs))).

Almost all of these people complaining about Trump losing focus are long time posters here, including me.

People now are getting concerned he's more focused on listening to his 'greatest ally' advocates (i.e. bombing Iran) and not domestic issues like massive deportations of 3rd worlders.

Trump 1.0 lost the House. His poll numbers are weakening. He's strong with the Kosher Conservative crowd (boomers) but is losing the young crowd. Will he lose the House again?

The dissent is not just on this blog. Have you seen the other covid blogs? MAHA seems to have collapsed.

You completely ignore the realities and speak in simplistic terms that the real world is not. Trump bombed Iran because the Islamists, the "First Saturday then Sunday" crowd of barbaric Jihadist, are an enemy to Jews, Christians Buddhists etc, as proved by hundreds of years of history and millions of Mosques lectures, and hundreds of millions killed, and tens of thousands of churches of every kind burned to the ground. Trump at the same time got all the ME nations to support the attempted cease fire in the war with Hamas. Zero, as in nobody else has come close to this, and they ignore his bombing of Iran. Think about it. There is a significant group of wealthy Arabs that wants capitalism, not 16th century barbaric Jihad.

As to the Doomers on other blogs, yes, I have seen it from the beginning, and noted the pattern, just like this thread, a quick early group of posts attempting to hijack the post and undermine Trump, with like supportive comments often in the vain of, " I have always supported Trump but.... And no, most are not long time commentors.You may be one caught up in the wake of gloom, but like the issue above, you ignore the important details, and ignore Jeff Cs post on these matters, and all rational contrary views.

Someone - might have been Mark Levin? - recently reassured Republicans that the money was going to Israel but it had to be spent on American military contractors. Talk about quiet part out loud!

Money taken from us via taxes or inflation is being laundered through Israel and going into the coffers of large corporations (killing lots of civilians on the way). And that's not a recent phenomenon: this particular pathway was enshrined by the Obama administration.

As others have mentioned, the Zoomers who are very conservative have a word they use for when the administration floats something stupid: Chimp out. There was somebody connected to high ups in the White House a few months ago who said it's good to 'chimp out' and to keep doing it when needed as the WH actually listens. So to not 'chimp out' you're doing the country a disservice. The WH needs to hear from the people who voted for them, loudly.

mspring's avatar

Reading through the first several comments, and digesting Jeff's blog, I am struck at how apparently nobody seems to understand inflation. Inflation is a RATE. If inflation could be reduced to zero, all it would do is stop PRICES from going up! It would not reduce prices a penny. We got to the PRICES we are stuck with by Biden's 5+% inflation rate, caused itself by boneheaded laws like the Antiinflation act, et al, and (as Jeff correctly noted, printing gobs of money). President Trump has successfully reduced Biden's inflation RATE from north of 8% to around 2% depending how it is counted without plunging us into a recession by taking a host of not obviously related actions. (In 6 months, by the way) That is a TREMENDOUS accomplishment! But reducing or even stopping the rate of increase won't universally reduce prices. Some other action must be taken to actually reduce prices, in fact one action we don't want is DEFLATION, where all prices fall, because that will be catastrophic for our nation. Each cost must be attacked individually, and that is exactly what Trump is doing. Sometimes by promoting, sometimes by punishing, sometimes in short term, sometimes long term. It is actually pretty amazing how much of "all government" he is using, and how overall successful he's been! Some prices are going down across all industries because petroleum/fuel is going down, because Trump opened up opportunities for that industry. Egg prices are down in part because we no longer cull massive flocks for fear of influenza. An associated anecdote: here in MI, egg prices didn't drop as fast as other states, because our bone headed governor (with help from Dem legislature) decided chickens can no longer be kept in cages. That actually drove up prices as growers scrambled to meet the new law. Prices are now dropping as they have figured out how to meet the letter of the law and still make money. Chickens are not roaming the farmer's front yard, eating grubs, bugs, etc that makes the best eggs, still raised inside, still fed same food, etc. But they meet a stupid new law that doesn't magically make their short existence better in any recognizable to chickens way. So we should stop getting sidetracked by fake media scare tactics, as Jeff says: Let the man work.

We've dug ourselves so deep into this hellhole of government that we view a only a few inches up as "conservativism" when really it's a mile. We can get there eventually if we keep at it, but shouldn't fool ourselves (or be fooled) into thinking that flexing government power is the way out of this mess.

How To Lower Prices: De.Reg.U.Lation.

Get government out of they way of innovation, manufacture and distribution of products and services. Allow for more competition. Get rid of BS regulatory favoritism of certain privileged business models over disfavored ones. You know, the big businesses that lobby to pass bureaucratic regulations that only corporate attorneys, HR departments, insurance reporting, etc can afford, that small businesses can't afford the cost of compliance with. The whole "barriers to entry" scheme system that only the biggest few who drafted the rules can comply with.

Remember when AT&T and the Baby Bells were broken up? Countless small business telcom providers sprung up, competition was fierce, prices went down. Well, consolidation, anti-trust waivers, the entire march to big, central control virtual monopolies now dominate every single industry in the US. Allow small farmers and ranchers, meat processors, etc to enter the market, current "safety" regulations have consolidated it down to a handful. Eliminate the "vaccine" mandates on livestock and poultry - that are not free - and all of the other costs compelled by government mandates and regulations that are passed on to consumers. AND are UNSAFE!

Remove barriers to entry, over-regulated, over-mandated "safety" requirements. US autos are unnecessarily expensive with all of the "safety" features that are built in. You can buy the same Chevy, Toyota, BMW in Latin America at half the price, looks the same, drives the same, same reliability, but without the US-only mandated "safety" features. You think they have fewer fatalities from equipment failure? Maybe driving laws and customs are too permissive, causing more deaths, but the Latin American autos are safe to drive, don't need the expensive redundant "safety" features. Same concept applies all consumer products.

THAT's how you solve the affordability crisis without causing inflation or even raising wages. Innovation, small business entrepreneurship, these are the tickets to affordability and economic prosperity.

Keep in mind that Trump is several moves ahead of his detractors. He had to make a deal with Big Pharma or they would not have onshored their drug factories. Big Pharma onshoring drug making is essential to the security of America. It also brings good paying jobs, increases tax base and provides tangible assets on American Soil in case the drug companies get sued in the future. I don't like Trump cozying up to Big Pharma either but what he did was understandable the best of a bad situation.

I had a dear friend who was almost like a second mother to me. She was diagnosed with cancer. She took one "treatment" and said, "no more". She went to a Naturopath. He tweaked her diet and gave her some supplements. The cancer went away. She lived to be 102. She passed away, surrounded by her large family, a few years ago.

There are alternatives to Big Medicine. I suggest that everyone find a good Naturopath in your area and get to know them. Medical Insurance sometimes covers them.

The best Naturopaths don't bill insurance. They typically don't cost much per visit. They have their own tests and can recommend food and supplements that will help you get healthy and stay that way.

There will be more good news coming out regarding indictments of guys like Brennan and his ilk, and more sunlight to shine on where all the money has been going to help sway the independents (which are now +-40% of the electorate) as well as shutting down some of the anti-ICE activities.

I'll post this once. I have , and am, been very scheptical of late of much, sometimes most of what Benjamin Fulford posts. However, as the comments here attest, it is getting more and more difficult to deny something is very amiss with the Trump agenda, and he says it is not Trump. That the real Trump has not been seen since the June summit in Canada. That the Trump we are seeing is 5 foot 7, not 6 foot 3, and chubbier. And a Black Hat Trump double. It is absolutely beyond doubt we are seeing body doubles, or clones possibly, instead of world leaders everywhere we look. I mean can anyone with a straight face tell me the real Pelosi suddenly looks 30 years younger, or Putins' ears keep changing, that Hilary's height and age keeps changing, that Trump shrunk 6 inches? Fulford posted multiple public photos of Erica Kirk, and they were all different. Don't believe me. Do your own research, but holy cow, it is pretty blatant if you take off the beer goggles.

The cover-up of the Epstein files, and then the cover-up of Charlie's public execution, caused millions of his supporters to lose faith. Renegging on the Epstein promise was bad enough, but it has been downright insulting what they've asked us to believe with the CK cover-up. The 30-06 WW2 rifle could blow the head off a moose, but we are supposed to believe Charlie's neck was sooooo strong, that not only was his head still intact (and there was almost no blood) but there was no exit wound. They think they can convince us that some 120 lb guy who's in a relationship with a tranny/furry was the 'shooter' (to engender a renewed hatred toward the left/Antifa) is going to work?

Well, sadly, it seems it has for the Fox News listening mainstream conservative normies. But some of us learned to have a healthy distrust of ANYTHING that our govt says, and that does not go away just because 'our side' is now in power. The Covid plandemic gave some of us plenty of extra time to look into the inconsistencies around tons of these events -- JFK, 9/11, to name just two.

For Charlie's execution, no credible medical or Medical Examiner's report; no ambulance on the site even though he spent millions on security each year (and any event of that nature requires an ambulance be on site). Not going to the closest hospital, but instead, going to one further away that had a lower level trauma care. It goes on, and on, and on. But, we found the shooter!!! After just 33 hours!!

I agree with the points you make but would add that I believe the straw that is breaking the proverbial camel's back is the FBI's cover up of who murdered Charlie Kirk. Virtually no thinking person believes that Tyler Robinson, if he was involved, acted alone. As long as the Trump administration continues to block a comprehensive investigation, including an inquiry into whether one or more foreign actors were involved, MAGA is over. People want some truth for a change. That's not a right or left issue, as lying hypocrite Ben Shapiro would have us believe. Trump will need to "man up" and allow some sunlight in if he hopes to save his presidency.

Thank you for your input here on HRT. Hormone therapies have come light years from the old Premarin days. Today, natural, bio-identical hormones are used and they are a Godsend. Sadly, they are insanely expensive and not covered by insurance.

It infuriates me that most women are denied this life changing therapy because of the expense and the lies about its safety. Certainly, insurance cannot cover everything, but HRT should be considered for coverage well before glp-1s, viagra, abortions or “sex change”surgeries.

HRT may not be for everyone, but at least more women would have a choice in their long term health if they knew of the benefits and could afford it.

Very good point about the affordability issue. Another thing to add to the list of our defective health care and insurance system.

When a person is having 14 hot flashes a day, not sleeping at night, suffering from joint pain and neuropathies, it's going to take a hell of a lot more than saying, "well, it's natural - learn to live with it." (And yes, I did every non-HRT option I could EXCEPT to start taking a triad of pills including gabapentin, low-dose SSRIs and NSAIDs to address the symptoms). Forget that. I started a low-dose estradiol patch and my hot flashes disappeared within 4 days (I kept a journal, so I know) and haven't returned in 3 years. I no longer feel like an 80 year old woman and I sleep 7-8 hours every night without getting up or without staring at the ceiling all night. Again, each person makes her own decision, but the quality of life issues outweighed the risks in my own case. And that's not even accounting for the protective effects of HRT.

One of the first forms of treatment for breast cancer was high-dose estrogen. I think one of the issues with oral contraceptives is due to the lack of the pregnancy and the failure of women to go through the entire hormonal process of pregnancy and then lactation. There's also an altering of the normal hormone fluctuation in a menstruating women which also makes them vulnerable to breast cancer. Further HRT (in the form of both estrogen and progesterone replacement) is not at levels from when a women was in her prime reproductive years.

My mother took it for about 18 years and got breast cancer at 64. The recommended dosage is uniform for all women. Stupid, since Mom was 4'11 and weighed about 101 lbs. She started getting benign lumps determined via multiple lumpectomies until one was malignant. Never was discontinuation of hrt recommended, nor any dosage reduction. She is a statistic that hrt causes cancer. DO NOT TAKE PHARMACEUTICAL JUNK.

Bioidendical hormones dosages are not uniform for all women. Mine are compounded specifically for me based on blood tests which measure levels of estrogen, progesterone and testosterone. My doctor specializes in women’s health and has studied both synthetic (which he does not recommend) and bioidentical hormones. He’s been treating women with BHRTs for many years and has never had even one patient with estrogen induced cancer. BHRTs are life changing for me and millions of other women. Before hormone replacement my quality of life was in the gutter. My bone density, heart, sleep, mood, mental health, weight, muscle tone all improved dramatically.

Thank you all for your input. My point is not using pharmaceutical JUNK. It was pulled from the menopause protocol, of course after Mom got the cancer, didn't know there is a new "formula" from the pharmaceutical companies. If bioidentical hormones are customized and you are getting results, great, but I prefer varieties of exercise 5x a week, and keeping my weight down with limited alcohol and sweets. Maybe quality melatonin and/or magnesium to help you sleep?

I was on bio identical hormones for years. Sorry, but I disagree. They come with their own side effects. I had sleep problems, weight gain, mood swings. The only thing that really was helpful was getting rid of hot flashes. After 10 years I stopped taking them. Not to mention that using a compound pharmacy is very expensive. And my compound pharmacy went DEI. Which meant i no longer trusted the people they hired. I wouldn't touch synthetic pharma pills with a ten foot pole.

Bioidendical hormones have the same molecular structure as those produced in the human body, while synthetic hormones have a different structure, even if they are designed to have similar effects. Synthetic hormones are often derived from animal sources, whereas bioidentical hormones are manufactured in a lab using plant sources like yams, but are structurally identical to human hormones.

This difference in chemical structure can affect how they are processed by the body.

JD Vance. He's a Millennial and he reads the room well probably from coming from a poor working class background. The only issue he will face running in 2028 if Trump goes Boomer is distancing himself from an administration he would need to separate himself from without seeming disloyal to the base. Ironically a similar problem Harris faced, although Harris is a braindead idiot and Vance is quite smart so I'd give him better odds.

Unfortunately, Kirk was a good candidate as well to carry the torch which is part of why he is dead is my guess. I think Vance is a bigger assassination target than Trump to be honest. Kill the future of the party and you're in. It worked with Charlie Kirk. I fear they are now emboldened.

My doctor explained to me that the problem with old synthetic hormones is that they were taken orally. Estrogen works best when used subcutaneously (pellets) or on the skin (creams and patches).

Just like last time, there are a bunch of people who ALWAYS see the worst in every single situation.

You are the people, who, when Trump decided to run again, hemmed and hawed and tried to find a better candidate.

What Jeff tries, and doesn't succeed in doing, to tell you guys is this.....TAW. Be patient. Wait the man out. He has been in office for less than a YEAR....and has accomplished so much. If I was Trump and had to listen to the naysayers all the time, I would be raging. He handles it much better.

Lest y'all forget, Trump's WORST quality is his inability to always clearly communicate the plan fully. He pops off...and I might say it's intentional sometimes....and he trolls. It can be hard to tell when he's kidding and when he's serious. Is this on purpose to keep people on their heels? I don't know...but I am happy with what he's accomplished so far.

And yes, he hasn't done EVERYTHING....because he's not damned perfect and never will be. He will FAIL at things. This is inevitable, but the things he has taken a true interest in are going in the right direction.

The Epstein files mean NOTHING. NOTHING is ever going to happen with them. They are rich powerful people and nothing is going to happen....and yet....Prince Andrew got canned, an ambassador got canned. Maybe they are working on the files in their own way.

I am not an overly optimistic person. I didn't want Trump to run again....I thought he would get spanked. I haven't always trusted his plans....some seem stupid to me....but somehow, someway, if you give them time, they mostly seem to be what the doctor ordered.

If his base is constantly bitching and moaning because he's not batting 1000 where every other R batted a cool 190, how does that even help? He's here for 3 more years. Maybe, just maybe shut up a little and let the man work.

The 50 yr mortgage thing is stupid, I'll give you that, but you don't HAVE to pay on it for 50 yrs. You can use it to get your foot in the door, pay extra when you can, refinance after a couple of years......does ANYONE have ANY imagination anymore???

I just feel like he's not quite connected to his base they way he has been for the past 10 years.

I agree. I also take umbrage with the statement that "the jobs market is good."

We need DJT and those losers in Congress ON IT. And no this isn't due to AI--that's an easy cope for greedy CEOs to engage in massive restructuring. I work in an industry RIDDLED with "immigrants" and offshoring...this affects every sector and every job, blue and white collar. GET ON IT!!!

Many general complaints, none noting the many many contrary indications and Trump victories that are stopping and deporting illegals, arresting organized crime and women caught in sex trafficking, changes to the H1B visa program, a great deal of investment in the US, dependent on Trump victories against the deep state attorneys, the appropriate targeting of international criminal cartels deeply attached to foreign governments, and multiple faceted efforts to true the vote being viciously fought by the deep state. Concerning the Middle East nations understand that a significant portion of them have rejected the ideal of Islam as practiced for centuries, quite frankly they want business and international business, and capitalism. They know the destruction of Islmaists, just as Putin knows the failures of the Soviet Union.

I have been saying this for some time. Anyone who thinks we can coast is naive and dangerous. The booing at a game was a real wake up call. One would think that many in the stands were men with testosterone and not the silly boomers who protest no kings. I've always been pro Israel's existence but not the cash flow that goes with it. As someone said, is it really a country if we have to fund its existence? And Israelis can be very nasty about the US denigrating the hand that feeds it. That said, the rise of Nick Fuentes is alarming. Like Mondami his theories are rooted in the ignorance of history.

Amen! Worst moments of this presidency were when Trump reneged on his promise to release the Epstein files, and then when he couldn’t stop “our greatest ally” from waging an unprovoked attack on Iran (which we then had to go in and clean up, at great peril to ourselves, and to the world).

And now, by all indications, Trump and Hegseth are about to start a war with Venezuela.

I didn’t vote for this (and I’m not getting into the whole Stargate AI endless surveillance announcement he made the day after he was sworn in).

A little while ago, at 11:00 a.m. on the 11th day of the 11th month I prayed that we would have no more wars. I’m a boomer, and the sad fact is all the wars in my lifetime, and all the dead boys and wounded soldiers did not need to happen.

Pray for Peace.

Young people — and especially young formerly MAGA males — are pulling away from this presidency in droves. They are on to things and we need to give them much more credit than they are getting. This is their country that they will be inheriting, and they are tired of all the lies and the endless wars that only benefit the internationalists and atheists.

I agree with your points but would add that IMO Charlie Kirk's public assassination and the obvious federal cover up following it constitute the proverbial straw that is breaking the camel's bank. It's delusional to think that Tyler Robinson, if he was involved, acted alone, and the fabulous narrative the FBI concocted does not convince anyone who is paying attention. I attended a large medical freedom conference this weekend. I didn't talk with all 1000 attendees, but I did socialize with a lot of peopIe, and I'm here to tell you that everyone I talked to doubts the FBI story. If the Trump admin allows an honest, thorough investigation to occur and is transparent about where it leads, I believe there is a chance to bring together concerned people from what was formerly called the left and right. However, if they continue to pretend that a lone gunman who lived with a furry transperson killed Charlie, and rule out the possibility that one or more foreign actors were involved, iMO MAGA is over. And finally, IMO, lying, hypocrite Ben Shapiro is absolutely the worst person to serve as a spokesperson for any cause.

The way to thank our veterans, and any future veterans, is to end all foreign wars. The only wars we should be fighting are attacks on our homeland. But, alas, our government (both parties) continue to weaken the homeland. They are intent on starting a civil war. It's the Hegelian approach: problem, reaction, solution.

It worked for the Covid plandemic. Create a fake virus, and soon enough, the public will be terrified and DEMAND government action, including a never-tried-before "vaccine". Soon enough, the civil unrest will grow to the point that the public will demand the government 'do more'. More surveillance, lockdowns, suspension of civil liberties, etc.

Of all groups, this group here (who found each other because we had a clear sense of something is very, very wrong in 2020) is falling for the same play all over again.

All indications is Trump will be starting a war with Venezuela, to divert our attention. Sincerely hope I'm wrong...

Meanwhile, thanks to our veterans. And let's honor them by committing to not supporting any foreign military engagements or wars.

Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends.

— John 15:13 NAS95

When I look upon the flag

I think of liberty

Of lives lain down in sacrifice

To make a nation free.

▫️

Then I look upon the flag

And think how can it be

That I could be so blessed

That someone died for me.

▫️

Again I look upon the flag

And tears come to my eyes

As I think of all the freedoms lost

And hear our soldiers’ cries.

▫️

For what, they ask, do we risk it all—

So a nation can trample our blood?

No! We serve, we die, to stem the tide

Of oppression roaring as a flood.

▫️

Look upon the flag, my people,

And see the freedom there

Remember what our nation was

And fall to your knees in prayer.

▫️

May God Most High restore this land

And bring us back to Him

And may our flag humbly wave

As a banner of freedom again.

I will go out of my way to thank a vet if they have a ball cap or something else that tells me who they are. I make an extra effort if I see a Viet Nam vet. They were treated so poorly coming home.

I know it's not the same, that you didn't fight in battle, but you DID agree to put your life on the line. That, to me, is a sacrifice. Not everyone is willing to take that duty, that risk.

That's what Veteran's Day is about, for me. It's not that you're not worthy enough, it is that you were blessed not to be in a conflict. But you sure were trained to be ready, if the need arose. So, you count.

I have an ex-brother-in-law, who is so messed up from Vietnam. He's smart, he protects women, and there's no person I'd rather want by my side in a fight. His PTSD is absolutely horrific. You were given a different deal of cards, but you signed up!

The suicide rate for veterans is the same whether or not deployed. There is something tough about training for war, hardening oneself to kill.

So, thank you for your sacrifice, and living worthy of others who gave their life, their limbs, their minds.

Keep in mind that the CIA infiltrates (thank you, Allen Dulles for all the Nazi support) all meaningful activities.

"For some time I have been disturbed by the way the CIA has been diverted from its original assignment. It has become an operational and at times a policy-making arm of the government” and that it had become a government all of its own and all secret. They don’t have to account to anybody." - Harry S. Truman

“Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had men's views confided to me privately. Some of the biggest men in the United States, in the field of commerce and manufacture, are afraid of something.

Female here. I used to work in a very non-traditional, heavily male-dominated job that required some physical labor. Men have upper-body strength that women will never have because of the biological muscle/ fat ratio. It's biology.

Yet many of my female co-workers were proto girl-boss types who would proclaim from the mountaintop, "I can do anything a man can do." They could not. Their attitudes really annoyed their male co-workers, and actually worked against them when they needed help.

The funny thing was that the men would admit they solved problems using brute force [aka "lifting"], while the females on the crew would find a much easier way to do a specific task because they couldn't use brute force.

I was a deep tissue massage therapist who specialized in injuries for years, and one thing I heard from a lot of the guys were variants on "I can't DO anything if I can't use my muscles!" They had learned no other way to do things, because they always had the strength, when they lost it, they were totally lost, they had no fallback techniques.

I make sure the young men I hire now are taught how to do it other ways as well as just "use your muscles" because one of these years they will need the skill of looking at things differently to figure out how to get things done. And I make sure they know WHY I'm telling them this stuff.

I am also a female who worked in extremely physical, non-traditional roles. You are correct on the differences, but many men and women have a view of women as invalids and also think bicep size is directly proportional to intelligence. It also varies by whether or not the task is male coded or female coded. Then there are some men (and their women) who think everything is solved by brute force. For instance, when I worked as a waitress (female coded) at a diner in my young adult days, we had to bus our own tables. I routinely had 30lbs of dirty dishes in a tub that I had to carry to the kitchen while trying not to fall on greased floors. Never once had a male offer to take the bus tray. On the other hand, I was using an 8lb grinder on rust in the back of a pickup (male coded) and several males passed by and each one asked if I could handle that grinder. I should have told them it was really a bus tray full of dirty dishes. Three years ago, I bought a diesel buggy (Gator). The salesman looked at me dubiously and asked if I was sure as the diesel didn't have power steering. I went ahead with the purchase and was expecting what used to happen in the 70's when the car power steering went out. It was a little extra work, but he must think women are paralyzed. When I need help, I ask for it or accept it when offered. If I don't need help, then I don't need help.

I’m sorry. This won’t be a great post.

I’m wondering if I’m the only one seeing what I’m seeing.

During covid we all rose up against big pharma and the shots.

We woke up, right?

All those chemicals and toxins. Every time someone collapsed our “side” talked about the shots being responsible and we couldn’t show enough clips of it.

Now…..

Guy collapses right in front of Trump during the big weight loss drug giveaway……....silence 🦗

Did anybody on the conservative side wonder if it was his shots? Was he taking the weight loss pills?

Did anyone see the irony of that?? Where’s all the clips to warn people?

Nope.

Cheap drugs for everyone instead. (Trained seals clap on cue).

Why were all the execs smiling about lowering the cost of their drugs?

That didn’t make sense.

What were they promised in the deal with Trump?

Ohhhh I see now.

Trump/RFK Jr promised to hand over all the women of America in return. Got it. Not MAHA like we were manipulated to think. Now it’s cheap fat loss drugs AND cancer causing HRT for all the women in the nation!

NOW I know why they were smiling. They didn’t take a financial hit…they hit the jackpot!!!!

HRT doesn’t cause cancer and heart attacks or strokes in women??? They lied to you for 20 years??? But NOW you can trust US. Big pHarma has been the victim with HRT. Do you see it?

Shots during covid bad…shots during Trump/Rfk goooood.

We just increased their profits at your expense….and it helped our portfolio too. So.

Don’t even get me started on the $2k checks for the lower class (screw the middle class that paid all the taxes and worked all the jobs to create tariff money).

Screw paying down the national debt. Sounds like a payoff just like covid checks. Don’t worry about what we’re doing TO you - just go cash your govt handout checks….but only some of you. Tisk. Tisk.

I see what they’re doing.

Does anyone else see it?

They’re keeping us placated on one thing while shoving the knife in deeper.

Anyone wanna know what came of the big Gates reveal that climate change was a scam?

Nothing.

More chemtrails anyone?

Why hasn’t Trump/Rfk stopped them? Isn’t Trump the guy that makes stuff happen FAST? Why only certain things fast? The biggest MAHA thing should be what is dropping on every single American and our food supply farm land -from the air -against our will and yet nothing?

Anyone? Beuhler? Anyone?

And we are realizing that a huge percentage (some say 40% ) of cancer may be primarily driven by metabolic dysfunction. This does not mean that you need to be falling into the category of type one or type two diabetes. Before you reach the type two threshold, many people have higher and higher circulating amounts of insulin, which causes insulin resistance. Your blood sugar readings on blood test may look fine for quite a while. Eventually, you cross the line to type two diabetes. Blood sugar control is HUGE both in preventing cancer, and treating cancer. Cancer grows on glucose for its energy supply to grow and spread. There is a very good supplement called Berberine which can be purchased at any health, food store, or Amazon. It helps level out blood sugar. And of course, try to eliminate added sugar and refined carbohydrates from your diet.

Amen. I've slowed my comments as I don't want to sound like a constant complainer. When I'd note the glacial pace of MAHA (hey we swapped HFCS with sugar in Coke!), people would say to shut up AND BE PATIENT. 4D chess!

But we're approaching a year into the term and I fear the majority of voices here will simply go along and not put up much of a fight.

I will continue to pray.

I’ve slowed mine too. That most likely is my last post. I decided to take the plunge against what I’m witnessing and use the critical thinking skills I gained over the past decade. What I said might not be popular but it is what is happening. I’m over the whole 3D and 4D chess crap. I still love Jeff’s analysis but it took a huge hit when he went silent/nothing to see here about the dude who collapsed. It blew my mind the “right” was silent. It didn’t advance their agenda it appears. Then one thing after another gets worse and worse. I always maintained I would speak out even if it was trump I was outing. I’ve never been a MAGA cultist. I vote for policies and support policies. I can’t support what he’s doing. It’s time to buckle up. It’s gonna get way worse.

Please don't make this your last post. I do hope that Jeff will show a bit more critical approach to MAGA's missteps.

I started losing faith when the Gaza stuff started. Jeff mentioned a post by Israel military that they were going to bomb a certain hospital there (muh terrorists in basement). Then they actually leveled it (with hundreds of people inside). Then Jeff claimed it Israel did not even though days earlier he directly quoted them saying they would do that exact thing. So weird!

I’ve shy’d away from posting/commenting here for the past year. Maybe I’m just in a different place. I noticed you weren’t around much either. I’m grateful Jeff helped me develop more critical thinking skills….I just couldn’t stay silent today on the heels of all the pHarma cash and deals flying around. I guess I blew a gasket. I had to state it. Either Harma is evil or not. There isn’t an in between. One shot is bad but one shot is ok. Even if their motives are to kill us as we’ve all stated on here for the past five years?

Most of us here are truly America First (I go with that instead of MAGA these days, because the latter seems to be more Trump focused, and I have no allegiance to any politician, only principles and ideas). I am a big fan of Jeff's. I appreciate his upbeat positivity. We need that. But we have to see the problems, too.

There's a certain subject that this stack avoids like the plague.

The 'peace deal' was a joke. IDF forces were shooting at civilians the days leading up to the 'deal' and have not really let up. The moment for me was when the IDF forces attacked the only Catholic Church in Gaza, Holy Family, and blew off the cross at the top of the church. They immediately said it was a mistake, but yet the tank that launched the grenade was only 20 meters away (if memory serves) and it was a direct aim. Not much discussion about these topics here.

He did not talk about it because he was sick. He addressed it, yes and I acknowledged that. I have never told him once what to report on.

Yes, I see some of it. I am not sure about all you mention. HRT does cause strokes, heart attacks etc and I posted yesterday on TruthSocial to Kennedy the HRT drop of blackbox warning was a BIG MISTAKE. Had 9 chemtrails and saw 3 planes overhead dumping them all over the skies yesterday. Called the Chemtrail Hotline to complain twice. The sky literally turned gray. Posted on MTG TruthSocial post to keep on all of them to stop the chemtrails. Watch the Tucker interview with Dane Wigington posted yesterday about chemtrails. DOD and Lockheed Martin behind them dropping poisons on us. Our own country trying to cull us-what else is new. The interview was a HUGE eye opener. Thanks for the post Sunnydaze!

But I never stopped speaking truth during coofid and I won’t stop now. I’m seeing more clearly that no one is coming to save us. Jesus already did. It will get worse. I was just “hoping” for a brief minute in time where my unborn grandkids could get some breathing room. I don’t think they will. But Jesus is still on the throne. Again, thank you for your encouragement on a really disheartening day.

First - thank you to all of our veterans for your service.

Seems some of that wage/affordability thing could be addressed by killing off vast amounts of H1-B visas that are going out to people to fill jobs that aren't particularly special, removing illegal aliens from the country, and revising the SNAP benefits down to something more common sense like "you don't get chips/pop/treats - just the stuff you need to live". The insanity following people "finally" getting their food stamps reloaded ... multiple carts filled with expensive junk food. Ugh.

I know the meat-packing thing has gotten a lot of attention from the smaller ranchers. They are required by federal law to use the big companies to sell and that takes extra time/money. Revising that will help, though there's still an overall beef shortage that will take some time to address - partly because cows don't grow quite as quickly as chickens.

rolandttg's avatar

There are basically only 4 meat packers in the US. The arcane rules of the FDA make small local meatpackers financially impractical in most cases. This is the real source of the problem. As usual, the profits go to the middle man, not the farmer, not the retailer . Fix this.

I’m against welfare, but if SNAP must exist, limit it to food grown here in the U.S. better yet, give a snap bonus if food is bought directly from local farmers/farmers markets. (And yes, inner city people have access. Brooklyn has an awesome farmers market every Sunday at Prospect Park for example).

BeadleBlog's avatar

Snap/EBT is a money pit, including the banks making large profits administering the program. I believe we should have SANP/EBT distribution centers where those receiving the benefits pick up their groceries, or delivery service where needed. They have menus to choose from but there's no garbage "food" but there are many dried beans, decent meat, veggies, oatmeal (no cold cereal), etc.

As a non-combat veteran I am grateful for the opportunities that serving in the Navy has afforded me. However, it is time to distinguish between vets like myself and those who faced combat because their sacrifice has been so much greater than our own. Next time you see your Congressman, will you propose a separate US holiday called “Veterans of Combat” day in order to focus on the price paid by this particular group of vets in terms of PTSD and physical maiming that deprives them of the full American experience that they sacrificed themselves for so that we might enjoy it.

M. Patrick McCrary's avatar

The combat vet has had other people shooting at him and had to shoot at other human beings, all of which leads to a much higher incidence of PTSD, (formerly known as Shell Shock and Battle Fatigue), plus. horrific maimings from explosions, torture, etc.

Myself and everyone I know would rather rip the band-aid off and immediately STOP ALL foreign visas AND get rid of all illegals aggressively, coupled with fines/jail time for those that keep hiring from those 2 pools. We'd rather deal with the fallout, which WOULD hurt, but it only would for a little while. We Americans are of sturdy stock and would fill that void fast. Only other thing they'd have to do is put on some 100% tariffs on offshoring and with all that being done we'd be set in regards to regular Americans finally being able to afford something.

I largely agree with the sentiment but I believe there are only about 1.2 million legal temp visa holders currently. There are also up to 8 million undocumented illegal workers.

I’d rather recruit the best and brightest few from around the world who want to come and contribute and assimilate. Nick Saban didn’t win 6 Championships at Alabama by letting anyone who wanted to on the team. He got 15-20 of the best athletes from around the country each year. We need that model!
