Let us not fret because of evildoers, nor be envious toward those who do wrong. Remind us that they will wither quickly like the grass and fade like the green herb. Let us trust in you and do good, to dwell in the land and cultivate faithfulness.
May we commit our way to you, Lord, and trust in you. As we are faithful, we believe you will bring forth our righteousness as the light and our judgment as the noonday.
Lord, help us rest in you and wait patiently for you. Do not let us fret because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who carries out wicked schemes. Help us cease from anger and forsake wrath. Remind us that fretting leads only to evildoing and evildoers will be punished.
Thank you for your word that reminds us that those who wait for you will inherit the land and delight in abundant prosperity.
Thank you that the salvation of the righteous is from you and that you are our strength in times of trouble. You help us and deliver us. You deliver us from the wicked and save us because we take refuge in you.
Amen.
(Adapted from Psalms 37:1-3, 5-9, 39-40 NASB)
(KJV) 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Oh! I'm serious, Andras. I'm as serious as a heart attack.
Yes, of course there has been evil committed before Operation Epic Furry. What a childlike tangent/red herring.

The man you murdered and can't stop crowing about had a long-standing fatwa barring Iran from attaining a nuke. Iran's nuke program, we are told, was "obliterated" just eight months ago. Negotiations were fruitful and ongoing when the unconstitutional illegal aggressive war was launched (like a snake).
Agree, "Sweet Word for today!" We definitely need to not fret over evil and keep faith in the Lord strong, yet the need to discern and oppose evil must not be forgotten, even though it often goes unwritten (2Th 2:11-12). Our nation needs to repent in-mass for its role in intentionally killing innocents* and pray in-mass for divine intervention to help us stop this evil.
* (eg, school girls in Iran, US soldiers forced to fight unprovoked/unjustified war, etc)
Both Psalm 37 as well as 73 need to be read frequently. Both are great reminders that God is at work in our lives and in this world, even when we can't see it. Even when it looks like evil is winning.
ALWAYS, ALWAYS remind us of what Almighty YAHWEH has to say about the finaglings of our evil doing power potentates. It puts everything in its proper, Godly perspective, Janice.
Phil - AI (Grok) said blame hasn’t been established. You’re right! It’s horrible when innocent children are killed. It was horrible when 3,000 people were killed on 9/11. How about all the children killed by illicit drugs brought in by the drug cartels? How about children who have been raped and killed from illegal fiends welcomed into this country during the last administration? How about all the babies killed by abortion? Does any of that bother you? Do yourself a favor and quit listening to the mainstream media and read more of Jeff…. and maybe pick up a Bible. This world is a mess. It was ALL foretold 2,000 years ago. There IS a Cure. You just need to get to know Him.
Judge Andrew Napolitano: Time magazine reports that more than a thousand civilians
have been killed in Iran. [One] thousand in the US/Israeli bombings.
Pepe Escobar: We still don't have definitive numbers coming from Iran. For instance, you remember the Epstein syndicate ritualistic murder of that elementary girl school in southern Iran?
Judge Andrew Napolitano: Yes.
Pepe Escobar: In the beginning we have 60, 80 and then 110. Now it's between 160-180 and some numbers are over 200.
Judge Andrew Napolitano: Yeah. Yeah. It's really one of the worst things imaginable that they would have attacked a school of little girls. I guess there's no way of knowing if that was a US attack or an Israeli attack.
Pepe Escobar: Probably an Israeli. Of course, he says that no, we don't bomb schools. We don't know. They're capable of everything. But this is the Israeli modest operandi because they did this in Gaza over and over again. Hospitals, schools. So, so this was 100% an Israeli operation and it was a warning to Iranian civil society. “This is what we can do to you.” They wanted to intimidate Iranian society already on Day One. And now that they are even more frustrated because they cannot find all those launchers and especially those underground missile cities - there are more than 20 maybe even as many as 30 scattered all across Iran and they cannot find them - so what are they doing? They are unleashing their revenge on the civilian population of Tehran. That's the explanation for bombing civilian neighborhoods in Tehran now on a de facto carpet bombing.

Again, dear Lord, please give those in this relatively safe hemisphere insight and wisdom to discern all evil - foreign and domestic. 🙏🏻
Don’t talk to me, you have a problem with the Jewish people and I don’t agree .Escobar? Jewhater The IDF does NOT want to take lives of innocent civilians……
Can you give it a rest, dude?! The Iranians did that themselves. And, no, I'm not going to "cite my sources." It's called personal due diligence. Otherwise, you're just another useless troll. Especially here.
Uhhh ... that's not how research works, Granny. Those of us legitimately seeking the truth gladly share sources to inform others during debate and ongoing research. And, in fact, "And, no, I'm not going to 'cite my sources.' It's called personal due diligence." is undoubtedly the very worst source of all! "I know that we are ALWAYS the good guys. Trust me." 🙄
-----
Blind devotion of "Israelis don't/didn't bomb hospitals and schools (notwithstanding all the evidence)" when, actually, Israel recently regularly bombed dozens of hospitals and schools in Gaza as standard m.o. is counter-productive to the point of being silly.
-----
"Especially here"? What does that mean?
Jeff welcomes free speech and valid debate lest this just be a zombie echo chamber waving red pom-poms while we plunge waist-deep into war.
Truth needn't be protected, Granny. Truth will outmuscle all other claims and only be stronger for it.
Yes, Ellison and Walz should both be arrested. Will they?...doubtful. Honestly, I'm not sure what kind of heinous activity someone in upper management has to commit to actually suffer any meaningful consequences. Murder, maybe...in front of 50 witnesses and caught on a dozen cell phone cameras?? Perhaps several referees eyeballing the act using slow motion instant replay?? I wouldn't place a bet even under those circumstances. Well, I’ve seen this movie: Another inquiry, another investigation, lots of yelling, various displays of embarrassing histrionics, a myriad of dodgy answers, a teflon indictment and reality show contract waiting in the wings. Can't we skip the circus and go right to the lightning round? Are Gates, Fauci, et al still touring the globe unfettered? Obama? Pelosi? Cue The Muppet Show intro music.
I will take the win that Crockett is out! That shut her putrid mouth real quick. Kicked her arse. Down the drain she goes. Great Day, good times! Ding Dong the witch is dead.
James Taliarico is the ultimate White non-supremacist, Christian Anti-Nationalist, Social-gospel Progressive who scolds Traditionalist Christians to stay out of politics and keep their hateful radical extremist faith to themselves even as he seeks a Senate position. He's the Tim Walz kind of Christian who idealizes a Communist Christ and demands a wall of separation for Thee but not for he.
Talarico went on Rogan and basically said the Bible is pro-abortion and other false teachings to appeal to a wider base. Rogan has mentioned that he stopped drinking and is going to church, but churches are full of false teachers. This worries me more than Crocket. I’m sure she could be smart, but she saw power in what the gaggle of 8, or whatever they call themselves, were doing. Whereas Talarico is ok going on Rogan and late night shows with his “moderate Christian” talk to play nice. A serpent in disguise is still a serpent, just scarier because you never see the true face.
I know nothing about him, other than what I just read, but my first thought was that I don’t see how any TRUE Christian can be a member of the Democrat party.
He seems worse than Beto O'Rourke and about as honest. A political climber in the Dem Party with his calm smiley Faith messaging fakery. He's the acceptable christian--you know, like if we had a Commie State-sponsored church overseen by the Bolshevik masters--he'd be the eager archbishop doing the bidding for the Revolution while steering his flock and savagely butchering any who stray. A CoVid 19 Christian, publicly double masked & whispering, distancing, and happy to close down places of worship and pay them to convert to vaxxination centers.
Are Dems sidelining their most outspoken minority candidates via primary as they did their pro-Hamas ones 2 years ago? Yes, also in Colorado the Progressive Dem Machine replaced a Black Denver mayor with one of the slickest white privileged guys ever, and now the Gay Jewish Gov. wants white Mike Bennett to succeed him (or perhaps another Jewish white guy-- our hyper-AG). DEI my eye.
Same here. I was recently in the deep south over Mardi Gras. A white 69yr old couple from Michigan sat down next to my husband and I during the Mardi Gras parade. They both completely melted down when one of the early floats was flying Confederate flags. For the entire rest of the parade, I had to listen to him lecture me on the history of Mardi Gras and how it stemmed from White Privilege and he should know because he was the head of their Catholic Church's social justice committee! (Is that really a thing?) He went on and on and on about the immigrants and civil vs. criminal crimes. Totally ruined our entire trip there - we have a sour taste from just that one interaction. (Orange Beach, AL) I have so many things I wish I had said to him - One would be what you just stated 'I don't see how any TRUE Christian can be a member of the Democrat party.'
Tallarico states that God supports abortion. That humans have the last say of whether to keep life or not, using the Virgin Mary as an example. I know - how does that makes sense? He’s basically putting man above God. He also states that a Jesus is binary. Neither man nor woman or anything in between(!).
There are plenty of videos of him speaking. He is really off the wire. He tries to clothe his words in Christianity but the more he talks the more he reveals he is a “A true wolf in sheep’s clothing”!
I agree but they are. The Democrats had 13 awful propositions on the ballot (abortion, open borders, red flag laws etc) MArch 3rd. In my county, all but legalizing weed(86%) were accepted by over 95% of D voters.
But of course the Democrat establishment would get behind him and throw Jasmine under the bus - they know he has a better chance of amassing support in a red state if he can convince the Christian base he’s a moderate and on their side. Jasmine definitely already failed miserably at that. Since winning is all they care about, they will sacrifice their own and install a phony that can succeed. Let’s just hope Texas has been paying attention, and those who haven’t wake up.
But I’m concerned it might not be that easy. The Sunday after Kirk’s assassination I was in TX helping my son get situated. I was assured most churches in TX were going to be having memorial services to soothe our wounded souls. I could pick any church I was told. So we picked one in South Austin that looked to be aligned with the doctrine of Acts and was a bit larger. While driving there just before arriving a long line was on the right heading to another large church. I wondered if that would have been a better choice. Once at the church we chose I sat there in a pool of tears for an hour, not because of a moving message in support of Charlie, but because of the cold, lifeless, emotionally-empty room around me, and a message trying to console the liberals!!! And slap them on the hand for not being more caring. They needed a wake-up call, not a slap on the hand!
Fast forward to last month when my son informed me he went to that other church after watching a video replay of their service after Charlie died. I think we were meant to swerve over to the right and attend that one and I didn’t follow my gut. He says they were very much leading their flock biblically. ❤️
So the story of two churches a few blocks apart. TX is a toss up if you are near Austin. The congregation I experienced will easily embrace Tallarico. He is just their kind of Christian!
Juju, all us Texans know that the entire city of Austin is a toss up! I live less than an hour away in the next county, which thankfully, is one of the most conservative counties. No one I know goes to Austin any more. It’s been a long standing progressive woke stain on Texas politics for years, not to mention that liberal DA’s and judges have made it a dangerous place to live much less visit!
"The 'Bible scholar' who gives sermons on the campaign trail spoke in public, often, for over a decade, in the voice of a distinctly secular technocrat. Then his ambitions pointed toward a statewide election, and he became a thin parody of a deeply confused tent show revivalist."
"Trying on his new Christian character in 2021, Talarico spoke on the floor of the Texas House to denounce that state’s successful effort to ban transgender competitors from girl’s sports."
"This man is strange, and he’s playacting. I don’t read minds, and I have no idea what James Talarico actually believes. But I’m certain (on considerable evidence) that his self-presentation is a calculated performance, and that there was a moment in his life when he decided to switch on the Jesus stuff for the cameras. Maybe he’s playing up some real faith that he used to play down, but there is a moment in his past when he made a choice about public themes that he had not previously made."
"Here’s the thing that sets my teeth on edge: There’s no way there aren’t journalists in Texas who don’t remember that Talarico came up as a secular technocrat who had little or nothing to say about religion, and there’s no way some of the people who are currently pretending to cover him as a Bible scholar weren’t more or less in the room when he decided to switch on the new character. They could just read their own newspapers, for crying out loud, going back less than a decade.
Fake politics needs fake media. The falsehood is deeply layered."
They all lie. Kristin MacDonald Rivet in Michigan campaigned as Catholic, mother of 6. She was never questioned on any of the Catholic tenets, and if she was pro abortion. Of course she is. Michigan seems to be the state promoting white, soccer mom look alikes, but Progressive to the hilt, to run for every office. Men need not apply.
When I read Christian, moderate Democrat, I thought you can no longer consider yourself a Christian if you are also a Democrat. Those two are no longer compatible.
He was run as a purposely vanilla democrat to beat Jazzy, who the dems know is horrible. It was reported at FOX that when one of the main networks late night shows wanted to have Talarico on as a guest, republicans yelled wait! We get equal time! -blowing up the idea, they only wanted to showcase Talarico as an option to Jazzy and it backfired 😂
I wish she had won. She would be much easier to beat in the general election than Talarico. I suspect the Dems are jettisoning their more radical members in order to hang on to power. They finally figured out they went too far.
Yes, seeing this in our local elections. The D's are running on practical issues and NO mention of DEI, LGBTQ or any of the other wedge issues. Does not mean squat as they are still all in on those things but they have moved their MESSAGING to the center. And they will fool too many low information voters in April. Hope I am wrong.
Donna, I hope they are watching Virginia, where the Dems got their wish. The cry of "Affordability" has tuned into taxing & regulating, then taxing again, everything they can.
True that, but she equates to nothing. Just another one of the mealy-mouthed lowlifes festering around the mainstream sump pumps who, in reality, are magnificently unimportant. Sideshow fodder. A squawking turd on her best day. See: AOC
But I am tired of letting them get in, do damage, grift the system, and then slither off. Yes, very happy she's out, but would also like to see her ruined! And I mean ruined in every way that matters! Same for so many more of them...on both sides of the aisle.
Speaking of which, that's a quaint anachronism, the aisle that supposedly divides the Houses of Congress. It's all Uni-Party! The only real aisle is between us and them!
Lol. Where was Obama? They kept quiet. If these black liberals really think Crockett lost due to racism, as she claimed, stick it to the Democrats and don't vote for that faux Christian Tallarico. Lol put your vote where your mouth is..... And don't vote Democrat in protest…..this is gonna be comical and I'm here for it.
@Valerie, I had such high hopes for Crenshaw when he was first running and then elected. He was conservative, a decorated military vet, and still had a sense of humor, see his reponse to the nasty Saturday Night Live skit about his missing eye. And then he drank the Covid kool-aid and everything went downhill from there. I was hoping he would be forced out, and I am happy to hear that happened!
Crocket is just one of the flying monkeys. The witch and her hoven are still on the loose. Too many to count. A “Ring in the Mount Doom” moment is in the waiting. Though I don’t anticipate being here, See the Rapture, the world might have to wait until the 2nd Coming.
Replaced by some other asshole, democrat or republican.
They're all beneath contempt.
The meteor that hits the Capitol during a presidential address to a joint session only has to be around the size of a garbage can (God, are you listening?). But even that won't solve our problems, as dozens of assholes stand behind the current crop, eager to show their devotion to the great Liberal and Conservative causes we all hold dear.
They will happen before the midterms. As our host has written, federal prosecutions take time: evidence gathered, secret grand juries empaneled. All this talk of fraud, appointing Vance, Oz’s statements, and the rest are not empty talk. Trump is setting the stage and building suspense. There’s also an investigation into ActBlue money laundering.
I see the coming indictments as a certainty, because they’d be a perfect move for Trump. He can expose massive fraud and paint the Democrats as the party that *claims* to be helping the needy, but actually helps scammers and foreigners while lining their own pockets. How could Democrats win the midterms while drowning in that series of scandals? (Election fraud won’t work this time, with too many eyes on the process.)
I wish someone would point out that all this fraud is only possible when people assume that it is the government's responsibility to "take care" of everyone.
I know that yanking away all the financial support at once would cause serious problems, but there should be a plan to gradually decrease the dependence of such a large sector of the population on government funding.
My theory is that Trump and his team are thinking big and long-term. The welfare fraud investigations aren’t just about saving money and making Democrats look bad. They’re about creating public support for reforming the entire system.
In our justice system, you have to be charged, then tried, then sentenced, then serve. All along the way the political machines can sabotage the process. Compromised law enforcement, brought prosecutors, crooked judges. And if someone of import DOES find themselves in a cell, well they get multiple chances to run the scam-ridden process again. If none of that works, then there's always a Presidential pardon. And Bob's your uncle, they're free.
This is the reason judging 'enforcement' by counting prison cells is folly. Better to focus on removal from office (and sometimes power) + lightening their bank accounts. That sting lasts longer.
I get it, plat. It's a justice system “of a kind.” 😉😁 On that score - since I gave up following this type of news closely - has anybody's bank account been seriously impacted in the negative?
I too have given up following too closely, I am 80% focused on local but still pop onto X from time to time and of course read C&C but have quit sucking myself into rabbit holes that just leave me frustrated and discouraged. Just like 'the poor', the corrupt will always be with us. It's just a matter of trying to not let that number get too large.
Guilty as charged: Time after time I found myself getting sucked in to BS headlines: “Gates indicted!”……Fauci prosecuted!” and assorted other meaningless tripe. I’ve come to the conclusion that NOTHING is going to happen to the Covid perps inhabiting high places. Makes me ill, but I'm learning to let it all go.
There's a prince in the UK. Walz in MN is going nowhere. CA/NY governors might be getting uncomfortable soon. Bannon's grift is coming to an end. Several bad politicians aren't any longer (or won;t be soon). I'm not saying it's perfect but it's a start.
The Blob will sacrifice some nonessential evil-doers but the only way Walz or Ellison go to jail is if they go off script, if they admit anything (even ignorance).
You realize of course that what was seen in Minnesota was just the tip of the iceberg -- in Minneapolis, and even more so in Minnesota or the US generally. There are HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS of such schemes in every state, every federal department, everywhere.
A thousand courts could not hear all these cases in our lifetimes. Kind of like giving every illegal "due" process, where the modifier changes with each new regime and each new opposition group.
And that's just the street-level malfeasance.
A nation doesn't get $40 trillion in debt by watching anything closely, much less its finances, or putting the fear of God into crooks. And wait as the 100s of trillions in unfunded goodies come due.
Accept the fact that we've lost control of virtually everything, and prepare in whatever way suits you for the coming reckoning. It's coming.
The amount of fraud and corruption is truly staggering….beyond comprehension, really. With “money” being just a man-made construct (backed by nothing….keyboard strokes supported by the ether, every imaginable wrongdoing is on the table.
I totally totally agree. !! WTF. I just cannot believe all this slow paced bs until all of us get tired of it all and move on to some other issue that we start hoping something will happen but nothing does. White wash .. all of it.
All true, but we need to understand that there are ten times more criminals that need to be prosecuted than there are honest prosecutors. It is a losing battle, particularly when the uniparty prevents the selection and hiring of those we need to do the job. This is why the president choose to focus DOJ and FBI actions on the safety of the people.
The people speaking to Walz pointed to the massive fraud & said he was either involved or incompetent. But he wasn’t put on the spot. He more or less sat & listened, that’s all.
It just seemed like another talking shop.
Billions of $$ of fraud. Meh. Doesn’t seem like the DOJ cares about Walz & Ellison’s part in it.
And Ms Omar? Anyone think the investigation into HER overnight fortune will result in prosecution?
It’s not clear to me why the Dems will prosecute conservatives even if they need to invent crimes - but the Reps turn a blind eye to HUGE crimes by Dems.

Talarico is not a “Christian moderate” but a wolf in sheep’s clothing. He said, God is non binary, the Bible endorses abortion especially for trans women, and wants tax payer funding for sexually confused teenagers. He also said our borders should be like our front porch, wide open and welcoming. Jeff, take a closer look at this guy and the heresy he is preaching.
He may end up worse than crockett would have been. Guy is insane to speak of the Bible and God that way. Another sicko has entered the political theater.
Thanks for posting this about Talarico. I came to the comments to say the same thing. He might be even more dangerous with his progressive, fake Christianity.

I guess he’s never read the bible at all. There are only a thousand verses talking abt l God making make and female, and how important it is to procreate, and all the things.
Ken Paxton needs to win the GOP run-off for us to hold the seat in TX. Cornyn is very unpopular and this seat could go blue if it is against Cornyn. Byt hey...Dan one-eyed-McCain lost his primary which is awesome

A moderate Christian Democrat is the same as a lukewarm pro-abortion apostate. Odds are instead of a bigmouth idiot, Crockett, Texas could have a silent serpent slithering throughout the halls of the US Capitol; seeking whom he may devour.
Yup, Talarico is a Christian in the same manner that the Episcopalian trans bishop wearing a rainbow vestment is a Christian. That is, Christ commanded us to be "vaguely nice" to everyone and never offend them, rather than the difficult stuff about truth, moral absolutes, ordered love, and kindness towards others.
It's a false gospel teaching that "kindness" means telling people what they want to hear and rolling over like a doormat when others violate our boundaries (personal or political). It's emotional manipulation that cherry-picks two verses, "turn the other cheek" and "judge not lest you be judged", twists them wildly out of context, and creates a false theology that ignores the other 31 thousand verses.
Hopefully this gets called out and he doesn't get away with cloaking himself in Christianity.
I have a cousin who is a pastor, I guess that's what they call them, with three adult children. The oldest, a daughter converted to Islam and married a muslim Middle Easterner. Another daughter is in a mixed race relationship and I'm not sure what's up with the son.
It's none of my business what they do but from my vantage they all strike me as very confused people. At least his mother is no longer living, although she might have embraced it too. Things ain't as they used to be.
In my experience, pastors who truthfully teach the bible, live by it's precepts, and exercise biblical love for their spouse and children, almost always end up having great kids. They may stray for a bit in early adulthood but come back to the truth. In fact I can't think of a single example in my life where that wasn't the case.
The stereotype of the "preacher's daughter" results when the pastor is a moralizing hypocrite who doesn't practice what he preaches. Or he lectures on the law without the love, i.e. not teaching Biblical Christianity but a perversion of what the Bible says.
Two of my cousins in my children's generation are married to Muslim men. One has an infant son. Fortunately, these men are not "practicing" Muslims, but I am aware that the situation could change at any time. Interesting times ahead.
It may have had. Ithing to do with the "pastor," although many churches and pastors are lost and don't even know what they're preaching. It's 2026 and many are still celebrating pagan holidays like christmas (nimrods birthday) and easter. There's a lot of confusion. Moral confusion, sexual confusion, gender confusion. The author of confusion is of course satan.
I guess it means different things to different people. Knowing the family I suspect it's an effort to demonstrate their idea of compassion. I could be wrong, no matter, my opinion isn't included in how they live; that's as it should be.

"Here’s the thing that sets my teeth on edge: There’s no way there aren’t journalists in Texas who don’t remember that Talarico came up as a secular technocrat who had little or nothing to say about religion, and there’s no way some of the people who are currently pretending to cover him as a Bible scholar weren’t more or less in the room when he decided to switch on the new character. They could just read their own newspapers, for crying out loud, going back less than a decade.
Fake politics needs fake media. The falsehood is deeply layered."
All right fans, we are in the bottom of the ninth ending ,Bases Loaded ,two outs. The Christian contrarian steps up to the plate. It'a fastball straight down the middle. the Christian contrarian steps up, swings, connects ,Grand Slam home run, you can tell that one goodbye. Way to knock it out of the park well done
I just saw this on X, posted by Andrew Kolvet, reposted by Robert Barnes
"Just spoke with Steve Toth who defeated Dan Crenshaw in TX-02 Republican primary last night. He's served with Dem. Senate nominee James Talarico in the Texas House, and held NOTHING back:
"I served with James Talarico from 2019 to today. This guy is as evil as they come. There is a darkness to this man's life. If you doubt that there is a wickedness and evil and a demonic presence in the world, you only have to look at James Talarico. He's an awful, awful person."
I am one of the stupid, barely-middle-class people who barely make it by in the world. BUT, i make it by JUST enough to be awake to what's going on. And i am ticked off that EVERY year, I am basically audited via my tax returns, but our govt is NEVER audited. I have to acct for every dime I make or spend, but our govt gets a free pass to EVERYthing. And there isnt a damn thing I can do about it.
Yeah. I can vote. Whipty doo. I am one small vote in a sea of other people more stupid than I am.
I think this every time more fraud is uncovered! The US has defaulted on the social contract she has made with her people! When any petty criminal who is willing to defraud the government is able to do so with seeming immunity as long as the politicians palms are greased while the hard-working, rule-following American is fined because he tried trade through the monstrosity of the US tax code on his own and didn’t properly withhold tax on his side business; when violent criminals are released with no bail and little to no jail time, but a man on a subway acts to protect fellow passengers and is prosecuted; when property that is bought and paid off long ago is confiscated to pay a tax bill; I could go on all day. The US has defaulted on the social contract. Who will hold her accountable?

I wanted to thank Jeff for the most excellent commentary on the stories he covered in Tuesday's C&C, especially the breakdown of the successful transition that has happened in Venezuela, and the end of the transitioning in CA schools.
Iran and Venezuela are totally different. Iran has a 25M all-volunteer paramilitary militia (with estimated 600K ready for immediate call-up) called the Basij which may come out of the woodwork when the bombing ceases. This group was tip of the spear of civilian protester killings so they know what’s up for them if they ‘lose’. The Basiji are ideological and a bit crazy. I think this is why Trump isn’t ruling out boots in the ground. Also, the 80M Persians aren’t going to allow the other 8M to 10M Kurdish Iranians rule over them. Most Persians also, have been conditioned since birth to not like Israel. So, if Mossad helps opposition they need to stay in the shadows. Otherwise the Persian opposition receiving that help run risk of being cast as ‘Jew-lovers’. Persians don’t want to be the Ayatollah’s b*tch, nor do they want to be the same of Israel. Civil war may break out in Iran. Hopefully it doesn’t. Because if it does, get ready for more refugees to the EU.
Excuse me, they are called Iranians - from the word/people of the Aryan race. Persia was the word Europeans used for them.
Only about 33% of Iran is Shia Muslim, the rest are a mix of Christian, Zoroastrian, a few Sunni Muslim or other (which includes the Kurds). Not sure heavily arming the Kurds is a great idea.
They need to figure out the government THEY want, not what they are forced into. From the protests I've seen, looks like they would favor a Constitutional Monarchy, with Prince Pahlavi (he's represented as the lion on their new/old flags) as the head. It's going to be up to them to keep it once they get it. Enough Gulf nations have plenty to money and may willingly help them to keep from having more fruitcakes leading their neighboring country.
Keep in mind, Iran used to have the most free and Western style government in the Middle East, with wonderful universities and Western style dress.
Meanwhile watch for China and/or Russia to stir things up if they can. Having all that Iranian oil has been wonderful for them.
Did you know how much the Bibles have been altered. Jehovah, God's name should be in it over 7,000 times. The king james was the most obvious. He said it's his version, after banning the Geneva Bible.
The tetragrammaton, YHWH, was substituted with the word "LORD" by the translators. It's easy to re-introduce it. It is pronounced Yahweh. The word jehovah was also a mis-transliteration. The letter J did not exist in the Hebrew. It began to be used in 1524, hence its use in the KJV. The name James is from the Hebrew Yaa'kov, or Jacob.
I know God recognizes me calling to him with all the other names, and He knows why we use them, but I came across an interesting and informative blog a couple years ago that looked at what the real name of God is and why we use all the variations that we do. I now LOVE to use Yahweh, or YHWH, knowing THIS is His real name used by no other. There are many kinds of Lord’s, and gods, and saviors, but there is only one YHWH.
If you listen to Michael Rood, a Jew and a believer in Yeshua, he says no one alive today knows exactly how to pronounce the ineffable Name, but he has concluded that it is YehoVah.
I’m certain that I do not know for sure. His Name was, out of an abundance of caution, not spoken for centuries. Which makes me wonder…..
The Most High was not unaware that this would or did happen, but it was allowed.
Why?
Was it mercy?
Because He has already said
“Do NOT take My Name in vain!”
With the way that people use the word ‘god’ and ‘Jesus Christ’ as a cuss word, was He protecting those who do so from His divine wrath by allowing His Name to be forgotten? Is He truly that merciful and loving? Not wanting ANY to perish? I think He Is!!!!
It’s only in the last 100 years, more or less, that the Hebrew language has been restored.
Anyway. It seems His Mercy has hidden His Name until ‘such a time as this” and perhaps we shall all soon know how to pronounce His Wonderful Name.
In the meantime, I am so very thankful that He allows me to call Him Father.
Avinu Malkeinu (“Our Father, Our King”). What a wonderful Father. What a glorious King!
They've been altered, not translated. Wheres the book of enoch? It's pronounced yehovah, it was intentionally spelled with a j for english, another intentional mistranslation. He was still a tyrant, a politician who changed the Bible, mostly out of his hatred for the puritans but they've all been altered, with intent.
Lisa, we have been studying the Bible from the original Hebrew for almost 20 years. Our teacher has been studying it for 30 years.
There is no perfect translation. But I am friends with those who have been studying the Word from Hebrew and have even learned to speak and read the language.
ALL have concluded that the KJV, even with its faults, is as good as it gets for most of us.
The meaning, if read prayerfully, will be shown to us.
I know an awful lot of people who know nothing about Hebrew and are looking up words to get the original meaning. And it is changing lives.
What a time to be alive and able to study in such a way!
So much to be thankful for. And so thankful that Yehovah can and does move hearts and minds even through translations.
I am learning to never discourage people from reading the Word in their ‘heart’ language. My heart language is English and He has taught me well from the English translations.
Be blessed by what we have in front of us. He has already factored in our lack of knowledge and understanding as well as my stupidity, lol.
Every believer should have a Greek/Hebrew concordance. It really helps your understanding of the scriptures.
We were gifted one years ago, published by Holman. It’s wonderful! Our is for the NASB translation, but They did a KJV back in 1979. Available upon Amazon. Here’s a link if anyone is interested:
Lisa - you say there are no good translations. Now what? We can’t know the Word of God unless we know Hebrew and Greek? I asked an unbelieving friend, with your mindset on translations to select a version so we can do a Bible study. He chose a Latin version??? He and others like him aren’t serious about “God hath said”.
You can start with any translation, and it can open up worlds to you. One thing to note, however, is that when you read a translation (which I still do - in fact I will often look at more than one translation if I am unsure of what it is saying - I have maybe 20 different translations available on my shelf, but normally do not look at more than a few of them at a time, some of which may also have additional explanatory notes), you are looking at the one meaning that the translator has chosen. However, most Hebrew words have more than one meaning, and often the words can be broken down into parts that will give additional insight into what is being said. Further, the Bible is the Living Word of God, which means that even when you think you know what a particular verse is saying, when you look at it next year, you may well see something else that you had not seen before. I am not putting any particular translation down, just pointing out that what Steveo said is correct, but that the issue goes beyond just the name(s) of YHWH.
Venezuela is only a link in the Trotskyite drug trust.
"Thus the Drug Trust, while maintaining the Stalinist Communist Government in Russia, simultaneously maintained a Communist back up regime in the United States, the Trotskyite Movement, in case the Stalinist regime should fall."
Every bad thing that has happened to Iran since the end of WW2, the wars, the dictators, the oppression, the invasions, the Mullahs, has all been orchestrated and manipulated by City of London, using their private military force, the U.S.
All because Iran kicked British Petroleum out of Iranian oil fields after WW2. So City of London, the financial headquarters of the Evil, had the U.S. overthrow that Iranian government and gave Iraq everything it needed to invade Iran. Forcing decades of war and oppression onto the Iranian people.
British Petroleum is coming for Iranian oil. And when the Iranians started building weapons, Trump imposed sanctions on them.
And when they persisted Trump bombed them.
Larry Johnson did a good outline titled:
"Iran Does Not Hate Americans… But it Has Legitimate Reasons to Do So"
In the 1970's, my father worked in the oilfields overseas, and my mother was living in Tehran to be near him when he was on leave. I spent the summer of 1978 in Tehran with my mother. It is one of my most cherished memories. The country was clean, beautiful, and prosperous. The women on the streets looked like they had just come from Paris. Everyone seemed content and happy. Oil money was flowing into the country, and from what I could see, everyone was benefitting. When the Shah was overthrown shortly thereafter, I remember thinking, "What are these people thinking?!". Years later, I was speaking to an Iranian man who had fled to the U.S., and I asked him WHAT they were thinking. He told me the people had made a terrible mistake, and that he had been part of it. He hated the corruption of the Shah's government, and yearned for a more religious and rightious government, but what he got was worse. And now I wonder whether re-instating the Palavi's is a good idea or not.
That is a very shallow read on what's happening right now - although it makes sense in the larger historical perspective of awfulness inflicted on the Iranian people, I don't think "Trump bombed them" captures the current situation at all. This quick, decisive military action is preventing a major, protracted war from occurring....y'know, the very thing that the baddies want to promote and keep fueling. Israel doesn't want this, nor do all the neocon warhawks back home.
That is enough to indicate we are on the path to regional peace and stability for the first time in most of our lifetimes.
Critical, if Iran's oil output is interrupted in any significant way, I see US boots on the ground to help it continue to flow. Iran is top 3 oil reserves in the world and global economy suffers in short/medium term if it goes offline.
From the moment we wake, it can be easy to get focused on what is wrong in our life and in our world. What we don’t have or how big our problems are. We can get so busy and so stressed we can lose focus on the gift of today. If we’re not careful we can take for granted our family our friends our health or our opportunities. We can easily lose sight of all the good things in our life. We can lose the right perspective.
Being unhappy and miserable with one’s life is a choice we make as is being happy. They say a grateful heart has no room for discouragement. We need to learn to appreciate and be grateful for what we have.
When I was a kid my Uncle Ben used to take me to work with him. He had a great way about him, he was kind, talented, I looked so forward to getting in his van knowing I was learning and at the end of the day I’d get 20 dollars. My Uncle Ben introduced me to many different trades, plumbing, heating, electric, carpentry, painting.
Years went by and I had gone to college, worked a couple of jobs and I then opened my small business. Every now and then my Uncle Ben would come to work with me and help me out, cutting lumber, wiring additions, sometime just picking up. Eventually he had grown old, his back and his body were hurting him and I would go and see him to see how he was doing.
One day I went to his house and was complaining how stressed I was. I couldn’t keep up with all of the jobs and the customers calls and at the same time try to keep my family happy, it seemed no matter how hard I worked it was never enough. I told him I just wanted to get through this part of my life, I was frustrated, it was a very stressful time.
My uncle looked at me and said “I wish I could be in your shoes. I would do anything to get up off this bed, drive to get a coffee and be able to do a hard days work. Life seems to have passed me by, and so quickly. If I could go back to where you are right now I’d give up everything I have”. He said to me “don’t be so willing to wish this time of your life away”. So many times we see the burden, and look past all the blessings in our life.
I left his house that day and realized how lucky I was just to be able to get up out of bed, open my eyes and see, smell the coffee brewing, do a hard days work. This for so many isn’t ordinary at all. Just look at how blessed we all are. We live in the greatest country in the history of the world. We have opportunities here others will never have. We all should be grateful for all that we have and all that we are able to do. God has blessed us all, our burden here in America is not to lose it. It’s all about our perspective of this life.
That day my Uncle Ben gave me new positive outlook on things. I realized how lucky I really was to be able to do my job, have a home and be able to take care of it. Have a wife that cares about me, have family and friends. With all the stresses in life it can be easy to lose focus on all of the blessings God has placed in our lives. J.Goodrich
"Look unto JESUS, the Author and Finisher (perfector!) of my faith, Who for the JOY set before Him, endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God!
(Hebrews 12:2)!
For me! For you! For whomsoever believes in Him - that we not perish by have everlasting life!
(I have had a tough week emotionally - caring for the elderly is hard!)
Thank you for lifting my spirit so I can make the choice to look up to my Savior and God! 🙏🏼😊
Always be grateful for what GOD has given you instead of being ungrateful for what you have been given. HE knows what HE is doing. No, not now, maybe and yes are HIS answers. HE sees things we don't along with the consequences of us getting our way when it's not the best thing.
Jeff, James Talarico is no moderate. He’s a hardcore leftist with a soft voice and also is a stone cold heretic when comes to the Bible. He claims the Bible doesn’t say anything about sodomy, marriage or abortion. The young, strong, Dallas pastor Josh Howerton has been sounding the alarm on him for a while now. I urge people to look up his podcast and see how he refutes everything he says. I pray people don’t fall for his lies. He will be tough to beat because our 2 Republican senate candidates aren’t great and republicans down here are having a hard time getting behind either. I voted for Paxton but they will come after him hard in a general election. Either way we can’t let Texas fall to this guy and we can’t say he’s a moderate.
"The 'Bible scholar' who gives sermons on the campaign trail spoke in public, often, for over a decade, in the voice of a distinctly secular technocrat. Then his ambitions pointed toward a statewide election, and he became a thin parody of a deeply confused tent show revivalist."
"Trying on his new Christian character in 2021, Talarico spoke on the floor of the Texas House to denounce that state’s successful effort to ban transgender competitors from girl’s sports."
"This man is strange, and he’s playacting. I don’t read minds, and I have no idea what James Talarico actually believes. But I’m certain (on considerable evidence) that his self-presentation is a calculated performance, and that there was a moment in his life when he decided to switch on the Jesus stuff for the cameras. Maybe he’s playing up some real faith that he used to play down, but there is a moment in his past when he made a choice about public themes that he had not previously made."
"Here’s the thing that sets my teeth on edge: There’s no way there aren’t journalists in Texas who don’t remember that Talarico came up as a secular technocrat who had little or nothing to say about religion, and there’s no way some of the people who are currently pretending to cover him as a Bible scholar weren’t more or less in the room when he decided to switch on the new character. They could just read their own newspapers, for crying out loud, going back less than a decade.
Fake politics needs fake media. The falsehood is deeply layered."
I hear this all the time from Libertarians, I know, if the third candidate running for the Republican side didn’t pull in enough votes to be in the run off, they won’t vote at all. That’ll show the Leftists. SMH.
I like everything I have heard about Paxton. Not being from Texas, I have no say, but why would they come after him hard? It sounds like he was targeted by corrupt people from both sides in his tenure as AG.
He’s done a great job as Ag, but he cheated on his wife and there was a big corruption scandal down here involving him but he was acquitted by our senate. The libs will use that against him when they’re pushing their soft spoken choirboy James. I still think he would probably win but it will be close I’m afraid.
I remember Paxton doing an interview with Tucker, not long after Tucker left to do his own podcast. Paxton talked about the whole corruption scandal and how it was his own GOP party that was trying to get rid of him, mainly because he was going after “sleeping dogs” they wanted left laying. I can’t remember if he talked about the infidelity, but it seems like he did. From that interview, I liked him tremendously, and thought Trump might pick him for his AG. The Dems playbook never really changes, we just have to see it blue states to blue states.
We are getting more taxes too right below ya in Oregon. Their solution is tax the peasants to death. Our gas is about to go up everything’s about to go up oh and possibly we’re about to not be allowed to raise cattle or get rid of rodents PETA is funding a law to get passed which will destroy what is left of Oregons dying economy.Things are just jolly here on the blue West huh? We are looking to moving depends on the November election honestly…it keeps getting worse we have family in Texas we are looking there or Idaho.
William! I feel the same about Oklahoma. We have our problems too, though. Our governor Stitt started out good, but went downhill ,and the front runners for the next one are not good. Also we are stuck with Lankford for awhile longer.
Colorado is the same with Dems tripping over themselves sponsoring all manner of Fundamental Transformational Legislavetion. For those of us in BLUE STATES, it is as if Harris and Walz won the election AND the Trump Boogeyman is alive and well to scapegoat and "Resist" incessantly in the Democult War on Normalcy. Our State GOP has further fragmented with each new Executive Committee formed this past decade, but the Highest State in the nation that will soon be RED (RED LIGHT that is when Dems legalize Prostitution for the entire state).
sorry, Legislavetion, or the "Annual or Bi-Annual Statutory work produced by dubious members of a democratically elected, Legislavetive body to enact legal regulations and compliance upon those they seek to exploit and exert control."
It's crazy that these politicians just keep shooting themselves in the feet again and again until they are stumps and that still doesn't change their thinking that perhaps they aren't following the best course of action. True ideologues.
No plan to stay? Quick like VZ? I doubt this very much due to our entanglement with Israel. Do you think the Zionists won't demand we stay in the fight with Israel? You think Israel will drop this fight? Unlikely for us to walk away anytime soon but I pray my skepticism is proven wrong. Israel is not our friend. They only use us.
You mean like an exit tax? That's possible when there's no opposition in place to temper their ambitions. Don't forget that they're going to require energy audits before you could sell your home (I read that yesterday but IDK if that has gone through yet or is in the works.)
Don’t get enamored of Talarico. His two favorite words are “Christian nationalism” he learned growing up in a church whose pastor spent the last 40 years preaching progressive beliefs like pro-abortion. Talarico wears his faith on his sleeve while bashing other Christians who disagree with him. Same Dem messages, just a different wrapper.

No wonder I'm not filthy rich. When living in New York and California, I forgot to hire myself as my own home health care aide. "Silly rabbit, Trix are for kids!"
"race-baiting, foul-mouthed Jasmine “Croquet” Crockett lost her primary in the Senate race to a Christian, moderate, Democrat Wonderbread white guy."
Except... the Christian, moderate, Democrat Wonderbread white guy is not a moderate, and isn't a Christian. He wasn't a Christian throughout his entire life of left-wing/progressive activism - there is no mention of anything related to religion at all - until very very recently.
Nor is he a moderate - he just "sounds" more moderate, which, when there is Jasmine Crockett standing next to you, is not so difficult. Which of his positions, exactly, are actually moderate?
So I wouldn't celebrate just yet - Crockett would have made a far easier opponent to defeat in November.
I’ll bet you at least some of California’s “hospice” agencies are also dabbling in the illicit drug (morphine) trade. I know from personal experience that hospice agencies literally ship morphine directly to the patient’s homes, do not require a signature upon delivery, do not monitor the use of the drug in the home, and do not require the return of the remaining morphine upon the patient’s death (euthanasia). How the heck does a Schedule II drug escape any controls in California by a licensed healthcare agency?
That's crazy. In my comment above yours I was saying how I worked for a home health agency. We had a special container to dispose of unused drugs (esp narcotics and benzos) in. And it was filled with some chemical concoction so once the drugs were in there they weren't coming back out. But this was an office that followed the rules, I'm assuming many do not and have no oversight somehow.
Not in California, at least, and not the agency that handled my dad’s euthanasia. And that was a reputable agency that is still in business and has been for decades.
✝️✝️✝️
Lord,
Let us not fret because of evildoers, nor be envious toward those who do wrong. Remind us that they will wither quickly like the grass and fade like the green herb. Let us trust in you and do good, to dwell in the land and cultivate faithfulness.
May we commit our way to you, Lord, and trust in you. As we are faithful, we believe you will bring forth our righteousness as the light and our judgment as the noonday.
Lord, help us rest in you and wait patiently for you. Do not let us fret because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who carries out wicked schemes. Help us cease from anger and forsake wrath. Remind us that fretting leads only to evildoing and evildoers will be punished.
Thank you for your word that reminds us that those who wait for you will inherit the land and delight in abundant prosperity.
Thank you that the salvation of the righteous is from you and that you are our strength in times of trouble. You help us and deliver us. You deliver us from the wicked and save us because we take refuge in you.
Amen.
(Adapted from Psalms 37:1-3, 5-9, 39-40 NASB)
✝️✝️✝️
(KJV) 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Amen.
Isn't that the truth!
And, dear Lord, please grant us discernment so that we may identify those wicked souls in high places that blow girls' schools to smithereens. 🙏🏻
As the Allies did in WWII? Or as the Arabs did on 9-11? Or as the ayatollahs of Iran were aspiring to do with their nukes?
Be specific, if you want to be taken seriously.
Lol Still believes 9/11 was ISIS. SMH
Oh! I'm serious, Andras. I'm as serious as a heart attack.
Yes, of course there has been evil committed before Operation Epic Furry. What a childlike tangent/red herring.
[3 Manhattan skyscrapers were pulverized into a fine white dust by 2 airliners 1 Tuesday? Ya think? 🙄 Wanna buy a bridge?]
-----
The man you murdered and can't stop crowing about had a long-standing fatwa barring Iran from attaining a nuke. Iran's nuke program, we are told, was "obliterated" just eight months ago. Negotiations were fruitful and ongoing when the unconstitutional illegal aggressive war was launched (like a snake).
Is that serious enough for you?
You mean the recent Iranian mishap where they accidentally hit their own school? That was most likely just incompetence.
Wrong.

May God help us discern evil - both foreign and domestic. 🙏🏻
You mean the Demonrats?
Sweet Word for today! Taste and see that the Lord is good!
Agree, "Sweet Word for today!" We definitely need to not fret over evil and keep faith in the Lord strong, yet the need to discern and oppose evil must not be forgotten, even though it often goes unwritten (2Th 2:11-12). Our nation needs to repent in-mass for its role in intentionally killing innocents* and pray in-mass for divine intervention to help us stop this evil.
* (eg, school girls in Iran, US soldiers forced to fight unprovoked/unjustified war, etc)
I have posted a version of this before but felt it was time to share again.
Both Psalm 37 as well as 73 need to be read frequently. Both are great reminders that God is at work in our lives and in this world, even when we can't see it. Even when it looks like evil is winning.
He sees all, and His power transcends all. So comforting!
Indeed. And He despises hypocrisy. 🙏🏻
Ah yes - repetition of RIGHTEOUSNESS is always welcome, Janice!
Amen, Janice. Now more than ever! Thank you!
ALWAYS, ALWAYS remind us of what Almighty YAHWEH has to say about the finaglings of our evil doing power potentates. It puts everything in its proper, Godly perspective, Janice.
SHALOM, sister in Yeshua!
A hearty Amen!
Amen
Because He lives so shall we also! Praise and glory to the King of Israel 🇮🇱 who leads us in all Righteousness and Peace ☮️🙏💥😺🇮🇱🇺🇸✝️
Because He lives so shall we also ... but not those little girls at the school? Are you sure?
Phil - AI (Grok) said blame hasn’t been established. You’re right! It’s horrible when innocent children are killed. It was horrible when 3,000 people were killed on 9/11. How about all the children killed by illicit drugs brought in by the drug cartels? How about children who have been raped and killed from illegal fiends welcomed into this country during the last administration? How about all the babies killed by abortion? Does any of that bother you? Do yourself a favor and quit listening to the mainstream media and read more of Jeff…. and maybe pick up a Bible. This world is a mess. It was ALL foretold 2,000 years ago. There IS a Cure. You just need to get to know Him.
It was an Iranian drone/bomb that killed those poor children-not U.S. or 🇮🇱🇺🇸💥🙀
Are you sure, Dawn? Please provide your source.

FYI - Geopolitical analyst superstar Pepe Escobar reports much differently today.
-----
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=52fuSTSN7J4&t=23m32s
Judge Andrew Napolitano: Time magazine reports that more than a thousand civilians
have been killed in Iran. [One] thousand in the US/Israeli bombings.
Pepe Escobar: We still don't have definitive numbers coming from Iran. For instance, you remember the Epstein syndicate ritualistic murder of that elementary girl school in southern Iran?
Judge Andrew Napolitano: Yes.
Pepe Escobar: In the beginning we have 60, 80 and then 110. Now it's between 160-180 and some numbers are over 200.
Judge Andrew Napolitano: Yeah. Yeah. It's really one of the worst things imaginable that they would have attacked a school of little girls. I guess there's no way of knowing if that was a US attack or an Israeli attack.
Pepe Escobar: Probably an Israeli. Of course, he says that no, we don't bomb schools. We don't know. They're capable of everything. But this is the Israeli modest operandi because they did this in Gaza over and over again. Hospitals, schools. So, so this was 100% an Israeli operation and it was a warning to Iranian civil society. “This is what we can do to you.” They wanted to intimidate Iranian society already on Day One. And now that they are even more frustrated because they cannot find all those launchers and especially those underground missile cities - there are more than 20 maybe even as many as 30 scattered all across Iran and they cannot find them - so what are they doing? They are unleashing their revenge on the civilian population of Tehran. That's the explanation for bombing civilian neighborhoods in Tehran now on a de facto carpet bombing.

Again, dear Lord, please give those in this relatively safe hemisphere insight and wisdom to discern all evil - foreign and domestic. 🙏🏻
Beautiful words!
Thank you for our daily dose of The Word , Janice! 😊
Amen!
Don’t talk to me, you have a problem with the Jewish people and I don’t agree .Escobar? Jewhater The IDF does NOT want to take lives of innocent civilians……
Really needed this today. The Lord bless you and guide you always in what He lays on your heart to share with us here from His word.
Thank you!
Dear Lord. Please know that us righteous ones do not side with the evildoers that blow a girls' school to Your kingdom come in our name. Amen. 🙏🏻
Can you give it a rest, dude?! The Iranians did that themselves. And, no, I'm not going to "cite my sources." It's called personal due diligence. Otherwise, you're just another useless troll. Especially here.
Uhhh ... that's not how research works, Granny. Those of us legitimately seeking the truth gladly share sources to inform others during debate and ongoing research. And, in fact, "And, no, I'm not going to 'cite my sources.' It's called personal due diligence." is undoubtedly the very worst source of all! "I know that we are ALWAYS the good guys. Trust me." 🙄
-----
Blind devotion of "Israelis don't/didn't bomb hospitals and schools (notwithstanding all the evidence)" when, actually, Israel recently regularly bombed dozens of hospitals and schools in Gaza as standard m.o. is counter-productive to the point of being silly.

"Especially here"? What does that mean?
Jeff welcomes free speech and valid debate lest this just be a zombie echo chamber waving red pom-poms while we plunge waist-deep into war.
Truth needn't be protected, Granny. Truth will outmuscle all other claims and only be stronger for it.
And for any who want their eyes opened about "Christianity"
Read Biglino's "The Naked Bible".
Don't let your craven FEAR prevent it.
lol
Yes, Ellison and Walz should both be arrested. Will they?...doubtful. Honestly, I'm not sure what kind of heinous activity someone in upper management has to commit to actually suffer any meaningful consequences. Murder, maybe...in front of 50 witnesses and caught on a dozen cell phone cameras?? Perhaps several referees eyeballing the act using slow motion instant replay?? I wouldn't place a bet even under those circumstances. Well, I’ve seen this movie: Another inquiry, another investigation, lots of yelling, various displays of embarrassing histrionics, a myriad of dodgy answers, a teflon indictment and reality show contract waiting in the wings. Can't we skip the circus and go right to the lightning round? Are Gates, Fauci, et al still touring the globe unfettered? Obama? Pelosi? Cue The Muppet Show intro music.
I will take the win that Crockett is out! That shut her putrid mouth real quick. Kicked her arse. Down the drain she goes. Great Day, good times! Ding Dong the witch is dead.
James Taliarico is the ultimate White non-supremacist, Christian Anti-Nationalist, Social-gospel Progressive who scolds Traditionalist Christians to stay out of politics and keep their hateful radical extremist faith to themselves even as he seeks a Senate position. He's the Tim Walz kind of Christian who idealizes a Communist Christ and demands a wall of separation for Thee but not for he.
Talarico went on Rogan and basically said the Bible is pro-abortion and other false teachings to appeal to a wider base. Rogan has mentioned that he stopped drinking and is going to church, but churches are full of false teachers. This worries me more than Crocket. I’m sure she could be smart, but she saw power in what the gaggle of 8, or whatever they call themselves, were doing. Whereas Talarico is ok going on Rogan and late night shows with his “moderate Christian” talk to play nice. A serpent in disguise is still a serpent, just scarier because you never see the true face.
Yes ma'am. Down in Texas we shoot snakes. Metaphorically of course.
I know nothing about him, other than what I just read, but my first thought was that I don’t see how any TRUE Christian can be a member of the Democrat party.
He seems worse than Beto O'Rourke and about as honest. A political climber in the Dem Party with his calm smiley Faith messaging fakery. He's the acceptable christian--you know, like if we had a Commie State-sponsored church overseen by the Bolshevik masters--he'd be the eager archbishop doing the bidding for the Revolution while steering his flock and savagely butchering any who stray. A CoVid 19 Christian, publicly double masked & whispering, distancing, and happy to close down places of worship and pay them to convert to vaxxination centers.
Are Dems sidelining their most outspoken minority candidates via primary as they did their pro-Hamas ones 2 years ago? Yes, also in Colorado the Progressive Dem Machine replaced a Black Denver mayor with one of the slickest white privileged guys ever, and now the Gay Jewish Gov. wants white Mike Bennett to succeed him (or perhaps another Jewish white guy-- our hyper-AG). DEI my eye.
just ask the Pope. He was OK with Biden receiving communion, despite his stance on abortion, etc
Same here. I was recently in the deep south over Mardi Gras. A white 69yr old couple from Michigan sat down next to my husband and I during the Mardi Gras parade. They both completely melted down when one of the early floats was flying Confederate flags. For the entire rest of the parade, I had to listen to him lecture me on the history of Mardi Gras and how it stemmed from White Privilege and he should know because he was the head of their Catholic Church's social justice committee! (Is that really a thing?) He went on and on and on about the immigrants and civil vs. criminal crimes. Totally ruined our entire trip there - we have a sour taste from just that one interaction. (Orange Beach, AL) I have so many things I wish I had said to him - One would be what you just stated 'I don't see how any TRUE Christian can be a member of the Democrat party.'
Tallarico states that God supports abortion. That humans have the last say of whether to keep life or not, using the Virgin Mary as an example. I know - how does that makes sense? He’s basically putting man above God. He also states that a Jesus is binary. Neither man nor woman or anything in between(!).
There are plenty of videos of him speaking. He is really off the wire. He tries to clothe his words in Christianity but the more he talks the more he reveals he is a “A true wolf in sheep’s clothing”!
I agree but they are. The Democrats had 13 awful propositions on the ballot (abortion, open borders, red flag laws etc) MArch 3rd. In my county, all but legalizing weed(86%) were accepted by over 95% of D voters.
I agree completely
He misquotes the Bible ALL the time
But of course the Democrat establishment would get behind him and throw Jasmine under the bus - they know he has a better chance of amassing support in a red state if he can convince the Christian base he’s a moderate and on their side. Jasmine definitely already failed miserably at that. Since winning is all they care about, they will sacrifice their own and install a phony that can succeed. Let’s just hope Texas has been paying attention, and those who haven’t wake up.
But I’m concerned it might not be that easy. The Sunday after Kirk’s assassination I was in TX helping my son get situated. I was assured most churches in TX were going to be having memorial services to soothe our wounded souls. I could pick any church I was told. So we picked one in South Austin that looked to be aligned with the doctrine of Acts and was a bit larger. While driving there just before arriving a long line was on the right heading to another large church. I wondered if that would have been a better choice. Once at the church we chose I sat there in a pool of tears for an hour, not because of a moving message in support of Charlie, but because of the cold, lifeless, emotionally-empty room around me, and a message trying to console the liberals!!! And slap them on the hand for not being more caring. They needed a wake-up call, not a slap on the hand!
Fast forward to last month when my son informed me he went to that other church after watching a video replay of their service after Charlie died. I think we were meant to swerve over to the right and attend that one and I didn’t follow my gut. He says they were very much leading their flock biblically. ❤️
So the story of two churches a few blocks apart. TX is a toss up if you are near Austin. The congregation I experienced will easily embrace Tallarico. He is just their kind of Christian!
Juju, all us Texans know that the entire city of Austin is a toss up! I live less than an hour away in the next county, which thankfully, is one of the most conservative counties. No one I know goes to Austin any more. It’s been a long standing progressive woke stain on Texas politics for years, not to mention that liberal DA’s and judges have made it a dangerous place to live much less visit!
Finding an orthodox Christian church in Austin is a near-impossibility.
"The 'Bible scholar' who gives sermons on the campaign trail spoke in public, often, for over a decade, in the voice of a distinctly secular technocrat. Then his ambitions pointed toward a statewide election, and he became a thin parody of a deeply confused tent show revivalist."
"Trying on his new Christian character in 2021, Talarico spoke on the floor of the Texas House to denounce that state’s successful effort to ban transgender competitors from girl’s sports."
"This man is strange, and he’s playacting. I don’t read minds, and I have no idea what James Talarico actually believes. But I’m certain (on considerable evidence) that his self-presentation is a calculated performance, and that there was a moment in his life when he decided to switch on the Jesus stuff for the cameras. Maybe he’s playing up some real faith that he used to play down, but there is a moment in his past when he made a choice about public themes that he had not previously made."
"Here’s the thing that sets my teeth on edge: There’s no way there aren’t journalists in Texas who don’t remember that Talarico came up as a secular technocrat who had little or nothing to say about religion, and there’s no way some of the people who are currently pretending to cover him as a Bible scholar weren’t more or less in the room when he decided to switch on the new character. They could just read their own newspapers, for crying out loud, going back less than a decade.
Fake politics needs fake media. The falsehood is deeply layered."

He’s almost AI-like he’s so bland. Wait….
They all lie. Kristin MacDonald Rivet in Michigan campaigned as Catholic, mother of 6. She was never questioned on any of the Catholic tenets, and if she was pro abortion. Of course she is. Michigan seems to be the state promoting white, soccer mom look alikes, but Progressive to the hilt, to run for every office. Men need not apply.
Chris Bray for the win! One of my other favorite stopping places on substack. 👍🏻
If that is true about Tallarico, he’s in for a very painful eternity. The Bible warns us about those false teachers.
When I read Christian, moderate Democrat, I thought you can no longer consider yourself a Christian if you are also a Democrat. Those two are no longer compatible.
Absolutely agree. No member of the Democratic Party will ever get my vote!
He was run as a purposely vanilla democrat to beat Jazzy, who the dems know is horrible. It was reported at FOX that when one of the main networks late night shows wanted to have Talarico on as a guest, republicans yelled wait! We get equal time! -blowing up the idea, they only wanted to showcase Talarico as an option to Jazzy and it backfired 😂
https://chrisbray.substack.com/p/it-puts-the-lotion-on-its-skin-james
Great article, love Chris Bray!
@William- yup
AGREE BUTTON!!!!!
I wish she had won. She would be much easier to beat in the general election than Talarico. I suspect the Dems are jettisoning their more radical members in order to hang on to power. They finally figured out they went too far.
Yes, seeing this in our local elections. The D's are running on practical issues and NO mention of DEI, LGBTQ or any of the other wedge issues. Does not mean squat as they are still all in on those things but they have moved their MESSAGING to the center. And they will fool too many low information voters in April. Hope I am wrong.
Donna, I hope they are watching Virginia, where the Dems got their wish. The cry of "Affordability" has tuned into taxing & regulating, then taxing again, everything they can.
I am afraid you are not wrong.
Yes, Dems are scum...
But the GOP has betrayed all real conservatives... especially the insane Orange Caligula, who serves only genocidal Israel.
They will keep one or two as tokens for IG and TicTok. And the rest are road kill.
^^^ THIS ^^^
An analysis so accurate that Double Mc oughta send the RNC an invoice.
*blushing*
He is NOT a Christian. He’s a wolf. Do not be deceived.
Absolutely. And the RNC needs to hammer that before the midterms.
True that, but she equates to nothing. Just another one of the mealy-mouthed lowlifes festering around the mainstream sump pumps who, in reality, are magnificently unimportant. Sideshow fodder. A squawking turd on her best day. See: AOC
But I am tired of letting them get in, do damage, grift the system, and then slither off. Yes, very happy she's out, but would also like to see her ruined! And I mean ruined in every way that matters! Same for so many more of them...on both sides of the aisle.
Speaking of which, that's a quaint anachronism, the aisle that supposedly divides the Houses of Congress. It's all Uni-Party! The only real aisle is between us and them!
LOL squawking turd. What a picture!
True... but don't leave out the squawking turds Cruz, Graham, Cotton,and Trump's lying scumbag Cabinet members...
Honestly, AD….I can't keep up with this who's who of perpetual nonsense. My RAM is at its max. 😁
I'm having a really hard time wiping the huge smile off my face after reading she lost the primary! 😃😅🤣🤣🤣
I suggest reading Laverne Spicer’s post on X today regarding Jazzy. Not for the faint of heart or those easily offended. I thoroughly enjoyed it. 😉
Laverne never disappoints! 🤣 That was hilarious.
Lol. Where was Obama? They kept quiet. If these black liberals really think Crockett lost due to racism, as she claimed, stick it to the Democrats and don't vote for that faux Christian Tallarico. Lol put your vote where your mouth is..... And don't vote Democrat in protest…..this is gonna be comical and I'm here for it.
And One eyed McCain and Caveman I’m not an ape man. Triple play in my home state.
I came here to say the same thing about Crenshaw. Buh-bye!
@Valerie, I had such high hopes for Crenshaw when he was first running and then elected. He was conservative, a decorated military vet, and still had a sense of humor, see his reponse to the nasty Saturday Night Live skit about his missing eye. And then he drank the Covid kool-aid and everything went downhill from there. I was hoping he would be forced out, and I am happy to hear that happened!
Crocket is just one of the flying monkeys. The witch and her hoven are still on the loose. Too many to count. A “Ring in the Mount Doom” moment is in the waiting. Though I don’t anticipate being here, See the Rapture, the world might have to wait until the 2nd Coming.
Replaced by some other asshole, democrat or republican.
They're all beneath contempt.
The meteor that hits the Capitol during a presidential address to a joint session only has to be around the size of a garbage can (God, are you listening?). But even that won't solve our problems, as dozens of assholes stand behind the current crop, eager to show their devotion to the great Liberal and Conservative causes we all hold dear.
2 witches at one time come January!
Ding dong one more witch is dead. Many more to go.
...and Clintons. Just deny, deny, deny. Nuttin' happens.
I don't know why but I have a feeling their days are numbered.
Old age will get 'em first.
They are already old. We need to see the explosion in real time!
Unfortunately. Gah!!
Didn’t Bill look awful! I was embarrassed for him. Old Letcher.
.
I had a good laugh as he paged through the pretty pictures and his black lady lawyer tried to get him to stop! He was nearly giggling!
Lots of deals being made with our “3D chess player”.
Psst and never will.
100%. Where are the indictments? Where are the convictions?
They will happen before the midterms. As our host has written, federal prosecutions take time: evidence gathered, secret grand juries empaneled. All this talk of fraud, appointing Vance, Oz’s statements, and the rest are not empty talk. Trump is setting the stage and building suspense. There’s also an investigation into ActBlue money laundering.
I see the coming indictments as a certainty, because they’d be a perfect move for Trump. He can expose massive fraud and paint the Democrats as the party that *claims* to be helping the needy, but actually helps scammers and foreigners while lining their own pockets. How could Democrats win the midterms while drowning in that series of scandals? (Election fraud won’t work this time, with too many eyes on the process.)
I wish someone would point out that all this fraud is only possible when people assume that it is the government's responsibility to "take care" of everyone.
I know that yanking away all the financial support at once would cause serious problems, but there should be a plan to gradually decrease the dependence of such a large sector of the population on government funding.
My theory is that Trump and his team are thinking big and long-term. The welfare fraud investigations aren’t just about saving money and making Democrats look bad. They’re about creating public support for reforming the entire system.
I say YANK the plug and move along. Make EVERYONE reapply with absolutely stringent requirements.
Wake up. They'll prosecute the poor 3rd world raghead schemers but the real criminals will go free, as they always do.
How about you take a nap until the midterms.....all this winning is obviously overloading your negative circuitry.
You have the critical thinking of a retarded poodle.
Don’t underestimate Trump’s ambition.
In our justice system, you have to be charged, then tried, then sentenced, then serve. All along the way the political machines can sabotage the process. Compromised law enforcement, brought prosecutors, crooked judges. And if someone of import DOES find themselves in a cell, well they get multiple chances to run the scam-ridden process again. If none of that works, then there's always a Presidential pardon. And Bob's your uncle, they're free.
This is the reason judging 'enforcement' by counting prison cells is folly. Better to focus on removal from office (and sometimes power) + lightening their bank accounts. That sting lasts longer.
Just my 2 cents.
I get it, plat. It's a justice system “of a kind.” 😉😁 On that score - since I gave up following this type of news closely - has anybody's bank account been seriously impacted in the negative?
I too have given up following too closely, I am 80% focused on local but still pop onto X from time to time and of course read C&C but have quit sucking myself into rabbit holes that just leave me frustrated and discouraged. Just like 'the poor', the corrupt will always be with us. It's just a matter of trying to not let that number get too large.
Guilty as charged: Time after time I found myself getting sucked in to BS headlines: “Gates indicted!”……Fauci prosecuted!” and assorted other meaningless tripe. I’ve come to the conclusion that NOTHING is going to happen to the Covid perps inhabiting high places. Makes me ill, but I'm learning to let it all go.
There's a prince in the UK. Walz in MN is going nowhere. CA/NY governors might be getting uncomfortable soon. Bannon's grift is coming to an end. Several bad politicians aren't any longer (or won;t be soon). I'm not saying it's perfect but it's a start.
Just waiting for someone to be arrested from the Epstein files
Remember, they got Capone via tax evasion. Whatever works.
Yes, that too. Also doubtful….at least in the upper echelons.
the Epstein files have brought many down, even one arrest. Unfortunately that was overseas, the Royal, Formerly Known as Prince Andrew
The Blob will sacrifice some nonessential evil-doers but the only way Walz or Ellison go to jail is if they go off script, if they admit anything (even ignorance).
You realize of course that what was seen in Minnesota was just the tip of the iceberg -- in Minneapolis, and even more so in Minnesota or the US generally. There are HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS of such schemes in every state, every federal department, everywhere.
A thousand courts could not hear all these cases in our lifetimes. Kind of like giving every illegal "due" process, where the modifier changes with each new regime and each new opposition group.
And that's just the street-level malfeasance.
A nation doesn't get $40 trillion in debt by watching anything closely, much less its finances, or putting the fear of God into crooks. And wait as the 100s of trillions in unfunded goodies come due.
Accept the fact that we've lost control of virtually everything, and prepare in whatever way suits you for the coming reckoning. It's coming.
The amount of fraud and corruption is truly staggering….beyond comprehension, really. With “money” being just a man-made construct (backed by nothing….keyboard strokes supported by the ether, every imaginable wrongdoing is on the table.
I hear more Benny Hill...
That'll do. 😁
I totally totally agree. !! WTF. I just cannot believe all this slow paced bs until all of us get tired of it all and move on to some other issue that we start hoping something will happen but nothing does. White wash .. all of it.
SPOT ON !!! Yawn, rinse and repeat nauseam.......
Later Jay
You made me smile. Too cool for school;-)
All true, but we need to understand that there are ten times more criminals that need to be prosecuted than there are honest prosecutors. It is a losing battle, particularly when the uniparty prevents the selection and hiring of those we need to do the job. This is why the president choose to focus DOJ and FBI actions on the safety of the people.
Yep.
The people speaking to Walz pointed to the massive fraud & said he was either involved or incompetent. But he wasn’t put on the spot. He more or less sat & listened, that’s all.
It just seemed like another talking shop.
Billions of $$ of fraud. Meh. Doesn’t seem like the DOJ cares about Walz & Ellison’s part in it.
And Ms Omar? Anyone think the investigation into HER overnight fortune will result in prosecution?
It’s not clear to me why the Dems will prosecute conservatives even if they need to invent crimes - but the Reps turn a blind eye to HUGE crimes by Dems.
At least Rep Anna Paulina Luna called for criminal charges. So, maybe…there’s that.
It’s disheartening that elites just don’t pay for their crimes in this world. I guess our only concession will be knowing God will deal them
Sad but true.
I’m not responsible for other people’s thoughts. This is my opinion….my take. No one has to agree.
No bitch!
This is a real human Exposing your Fucking nazi medical propaganda!
Don't like the truth?
Fucking Commie PIG!
I hope you and your family die taking this shit!

Talarico is not a “Christian moderate” but a wolf in sheep’s clothing. He said, God is non binary, the Bible endorses abortion especially for trans women, and wants tax payer funding for sexually confused teenagers. He also said our borders should be like our front porch, wide open and welcoming. Jeff, take a closer look at this guy and the heresy he is preaching.
He may end up worse than crockett would have been. Guy is insane to speak of the Bible and God that way. Another sicko has entered the political theater.
I think Jazzy would have been easier to beat in November.
Yeah, it seems he can operate under the radar. He already (briefly, we hope) fooled Jeff.
Thanks for posting this about Talarico. I came to the comments to say the same thing. He might be even more dangerous with his progressive, fake Christianity.

Sounds like at some point he rejected God and the demons poured into his soul.
Yeah… he said Jesus was non-binary.
I guess he’s never read the bible at all. There are only a thousand verses talking abt l God making make and female, and how important it is to procreate, and all the things.
Can a trans woman even “need” an abortion?
Forget WHAT is a WOMAN? What is a trans woman?
Asking for a friend.
It depends on what the meaning of the word is, is. Or the meaning of trans woman, whatever fits 😑
lately we have been inundated with commercials for a prostate cancer drug "that is not recommended for women"! Wondering if they mean trans women?
🤢🤮🤢
1000% agree on Talarico. He calls Christians, Christian nationalist, he twists scripture and he speaks with a forked tongue.
Yeah part of the Republicans $$$ when be used in ads to point this out. Trust me that won’t fly in Texas. Another Beto bites the dust.
He’s as worse than Crockett. At least with her you knew the low IQ person you were getting. Even if was an act to get on CNN or PMS Now.
https://chrisbray.substack.com/p/it-puts-the-lotion-on-its-skin-james
A demon……there seems to be an awful lot of that.
Ken Paxton needs to win the GOP run-off for us to hold the seat in TX. Cornyn is very unpopular and this seat could go blue if it is against Cornyn. Byt hey...Dan one-eyed-McCain lost his primary which is awesome
Think about it, though. As flawed as he is, people still prefer him over Jasmine's gigantic, flapping yapper 😂
I tried to find something to like about Jasmine, but all I found were a few nice suits and pretty wigs.
Wait…” abortion…for trans women?” They’re biologically incapable of pregnancy. What am I missing?
But wasn’t it a ‘primary’ that he won? Won’t he be running in the general election against a Republican?
I think Jeff’s post was to simply say, Jasmin lost twice…….in the primary AND there’s no longer a seat for her to occupy.
He’s Beto with a Divinity degree.
No bitch!

Boom!!! He is a demonic deceiver!
I concur— as much as I typically trust Jeff’s instincts and extensive research over my own.
A moderate Christian Democrat is the same as a lukewarm pro-abortion apostate. Odds are instead of a bigmouth idiot, Crockett, Texas could have a silent serpent slithering throughout the halls of the US Capitol; seeking whom he may devour.
Yup, Talarico is a Christian in the same manner that the Episcopalian trans bishop wearing a rainbow vestment is a Christian. That is, Christ commanded us to be "vaguely nice" to everyone and never offend them, rather than the difficult stuff about truth, moral absolutes, ordered love, and kindness towards others.
It's a false gospel teaching that "kindness" means telling people what they want to hear and rolling over like a doormat when others violate our boundaries (personal or political). It's emotional manipulation that cherry-picks two verses, "turn the other cheek" and "judge not lest you be judged", twists them wildly out of context, and creates a false theology that ignores the other 31 thousand verses.
Hopefully this gets called out and he doesn't get away with cloaking himself in Christianity.
I have a cousin who is a pastor, I guess that's what they call them, with three adult children. The oldest, a daughter converted to Islam and married a muslim Middle Easterner. Another daughter is in a mixed race relationship and I'm not sure what's up with the son.
It's none of my business what they do but from my vantage they all strike me as very confused people. At least his mother is no longer living, although she might have embraced it too. Things ain't as they used to be.
In my experience, pastors who truthfully teach the bible, live by it's precepts, and exercise biblical love for their spouse and children, almost always end up having great kids. They may stray for a bit in early adulthood but come back to the truth. In fact I can't think of a single example in my life where that wasn't the case.
The stereotype of the "preacher's daughter" results when the pastor is a moralizing hypocrite who doesn't practice what he preaches. Or he lectures on the law without the love, i.e. not teaching Biblical Christianity but a perversion of what the Bible says.
Two of my cousins in my children's generation are married to Muslim men. One has an infant son. Fortunately, these men are not "practicing" Muslims, but I am aware that the situation could change at any time. Interesting times ahead.
I think our society passed the last exit ramp some time ago.
It may have had. Ithing to do with the "pastor," although many churches and pastors are lost and don't even know what they're preaching. It's 2026 and many are still celebrating pagan holidays like christmas (nimrods birthday) and easter. There's a lot of confusion. Moral confusion, sexual confusion, gender confusion. The author of confusion is of course satan.
So, the daughter being in a mixed-race relationship means what, exactly?
I guess it means different things to different people. Knowing the family I suspect it's an effort to demonstrate their idea of compassion. I could be wrong, no matter, my opinion isn't included in how they live; that's as it should be.
"Race" means nothing, so mixed-race means even less.
Well said!

He also said God is non-binary.
Oh WOW! He needs a REAL come to Jesus moment.

Also right pronouns important.
I saw one in the Bible
Yeah, well I saw in the bible when "they/them" are used as pronouns. It ain't anything good.
All right fans, we are in the bottom of the ninth ending ,Bases Loaded ,two outs. The Christian contrarian steps up to the plate. It'a fastball straight down the middle. the Christian contrarian steps up, swings, connects ,Grand Slam home run, you can tell that one goodbye. Way to knock it out of the park well done

"I served with James Talarico from 2019 to today. This guy is as evil as they come. There is a darkness to this man's life. If you doubt that there is a wickedness and evil and a demonic presence in the world, you only have to look at James Talarico. He's an awful, awful person."

Good point.
Asking for a friend… with all the fraud found , we the people want to know, if we the tax payers that funded the fraud , get our money 💰 back ?
And if so, can we charge daily interest and penalties like the IRS does?
Can we threaten to seize their assets?
Yes!! I mean really this would happen young of us in these cases! I mean really. !! Do it.
Can they do that w RICO charges?
I am one of the stupid, barely-middle-class people who barely make it by in the world. BUT, i make it by JUST enough to be awake to what's going on. And i am ticked off that EVERY year, I am basically audited via my tax returns, but our govt is NEVER audited. I have to acct for every dime I make or spend, but our govt gets a free pass to EVERYthing. And there isnt a damn thing I can do about it.
Yeah. I can vote. Whipty doo. I am one small vote in a sea of other people more stupid than I am.
Ok. Done ranting. It doesnt do any good. :p
I think this every time more fraud is uncovered! The US has defaulted on the social contract she has made with her people! When any petty criminal who is willing to defraud the government is able to do so with seeming immunity as long as the politicians palms are greased while the hard-working, rule-following American is fined because he tried trade through the monstrosity of the US tax code on his own and didn’t properly withhold tax on his side business; when violent criminals are released with no bail and little to no jail time, but a man on a subway acts to protect fellow passengers and is prosecuted; when property that is bought and paid off long ago is confiscated to pay a tax bill; I could go on all day. The US has defaulted on the social contract. Who will hold her accountable?
I agree with your rant. 100%
My thoughts exactly! Show me the money!
The first thing a dying wounded soldier has to have is the bleeding stopped.
Jeff, can taxpayers file a class action lawsuit against the IRS or the governors and non elected people who let the grift continue?
Ps …. the friend wants to know why this comment doesn’t have over 1000 likes 🥲
It will. It’s early. Lol
Nah, the money is in Somalia and the offshore bank accounts of rich democrats, never to be seen again.
Or at least a decent cost of living increase on SS?!?!
That would be a no. There is no justice, other thsn for those in competition with the government.

I wanted to thank Jeff for the most excellent commentary on the stories he covered in Tuesday's C&C, especially the breakdown of the successful transition that has happened in Venezuela, and the end of the transitioning in CA schools.
Dave, did you see that James is ordering hospitals in NY to start transgender programs again? She is such a scumbag.
Would this put her in the fast lane to being sued when these kids realize they were misselled.
How can James force to provide procedures against AMA guidance?
@Barbara- it's just guidance, not a mandate.
Iran and Venezuela are totally different. Iran has a 25M all-volunteer paramilitary militia (with estimated 600K ready for immediate call-up) called the Basij which may come out of the woodwork when the bombing ceases. This group was tip of the spear of civilian protester killings so they know what’s up for them if they ‘lose’. The Basiji are ideological and a bit crazy. I think this is why Trump isn’t ruling out boots in the ground. Also, the 80M Persians aren’t going to allow the other 8M to 10M Kurdish Iranians rule over them. Most Persians also, have been conditioned since birth to not like Israel. So, if Mossad helps opposition they need to stay in the shadows. Otherwise the Persian opposition receiving that help run risk of being cast as ‘Jew-lovers’. Persians don’t want to be the Ayatollah’s b*tch, nor do they want to be the same of Israel. Civil war may break out in Iran. Hopefully it doesn’t. Because if it does, get ready for more refugees to the EU.
Excuse me, they are called Iranians - from the word/people of the Aryan race. Persia was the word Europeans used for them.
Only about 33% of Iran is Shia Muslim, the rest are a mix of Christian, Zoroastrian, a few Sunni Muslim or other (which includes the Kurds). Not sure heavily arming the Kurds is a great idea.
They need to figure out the government THEY want, not what they are forced into. From the protests I've seen, looks like they would favor a Constitutional Monarchy, with Prince Pahlavi (he's represented as the lion on their new/old flags) as the head. It's going to be up to them to keep it once they get it. Enough Gulf nations have plenty to money and may willingly help them to keep from having more fruitcakes leading their neighboring country.
Keep in mind, Iran used to have the most free and Western style government in the Middle East, with wonderful universities and Western style dress.
Meanwhile watch for China and/or Russia to stir things up if they can. Having all that Iranian oil has been wonderful for them.
Did you know how much the Bibles have been altered. Jehovah, God's name should be in it over 7,000 times. The king james was the most obvious. He said it's his version, after banning the Geneva Bible.
The tetragrammaton, YHWH, was substituted with the word "LORD" by the translators. It's easy to re-introduce it. It is pronounced Yahweh. The word jehovah was also a mis-transliteration. The letter J did not exist in the Hebrew. It began to be used in 1524, hence its use in the KJV. The name James is from the Hebrew Yaa'kov, or Jacob.
Bingo.
I know God recognizes me calling to him with all the other names, and He knows why we use them, but I came across an interesting and informative blog a couple years ago that looked at what the real name of God is and why we use all the variations that we do. I now LOVE to use Yahweh, or YHWH, knowing THIS is His real name used by no other. There are many kinds of Lord’s, and gods, and saviors, but there is only one YHWH.
Yes, bless you.
If you listen to Michael Rood, a Jew and a believer in Yeshua, he says no one alive today knows exactly how to pronounce the ineffable Name, but he has concluded that it is YehoVah.
I’m certain that I do not know for sure. His Name was, out of an abundance of caution, not spoken for centuries. Which makes me wonder…..
The Most High was not unaware that this would or did happen, but it was allowed.
Why?
Was it mercy?
Because He has already said
“Do NOT take My Name in vain!”
With the way that people use the word ‘god’ and ‘Jesus Christ’ as a cuss word, was He protecting those who do so from His divine wrath by allowing His Name to be forgotten? Is He truly that merciful and loving? Not wanting ANY to perish? I think He Is!!!!
It’s only in the last 100 years, more or less, that the Hebrew language has been restored.
Anyway. It seems His Mercy has hidden His Name until ‘such a time as this” and perhaps we shall all soon know how to pronounce His Wonderful Name.
In the meantime, I am so very thankful that He allows me to call Him Father.
Avinu Malkeinu (“Our Father, Our King”). What a wonderful Father. What a glorious King!
They've been altered, not translated. Wheres the book of enoch? It's pronounced yehovah, it was intentionally spelled with a j for english, another intentional mistranslation. He was still a tyrant, a politician who changed the Bible, mostly out of his hatred for the puritans but they've all been altered, with intent.
None of these things change the truth of the Gospel. Gods has protected and preserved His Word for all these centuries. (Edited for spelling)
Steveo - i have been studying Biblical Hebrew for several years now and have concluded that there is no good translation.
Lisa, we have been studying the Bible from the original Hebrew for almost 20 years. Our teacher has been studying it for 30 years.
There is no perfect translation. But I am friends with those who have been studying the Word from Hebrew and have even learned to speak and read the language.
ALL have concluded that the KJV, even with its faults, is as good as it gets for most of us.
The meaning, if read prayerfully, will be shown to us.
I know an awful lot of people who know nothing about Hebrew and are looking up words to get the original meaning. And it is changing lives.
What a time to be alive and able to study in such a way!
So much to be thankful for. And so thankful that Yehovah can and does move hearts and minds even through translations.
I am learning to never discourage people from reading the Word in their ‘heart’ language. My heart language is English and He has taught me well from the English translations.
Be blessed by what we have in front of us. He has already factored in our lack of knowledge and understanding as well as my stupidity, lol.
I grew up, 65+ years ago with the KJV,and that is still my last resort when I am drawn to interpolate between more 'up-to-date' translations!
Every believer should have a Greek/Hebrew concordance. It really helps your understanding of the scriptures.
We were gifted one years ago, published by Holman. It’s wonderful! Our is for the NASB translation, but They did a KJV back in 1979. Available upon Amazon. Here’s a link if anyone is interested:
https://a.co/d/0cdQA8KU
Lisa - you say there are no good translations. Now what? We can’t know the Word of God unless we know Hebrew and Greek? I asked an unbelieving friend, with your mindset on translations to select a version so we can do a Bible study. He chose a Latin version??? He and others like him aren’t serious about “God hath said”.
You can start with any translation, and it can open up worlds to you. One thing to note, however, is that when you read a translation (which I still do - in fact I will often look at more than one translation if I am unsure of what it is saying - I have maybe 20 different translations available on my shelf, but normally do not look at more than a few of them at a time, some of which may also have additional explanatory notes), you are looking at the one meaning that the translator has chosen. However, most Hebrew words have more than one meaning, and often the words can be broken down into parts that will give additional insight into what is being said. Further, the Bible is the Living Word of God, which means that even when you think you know what a particular verse is saying, when you look at it next year, you may well see something else that you had not seen before. I am not putting any particular translation down, just pointing out that what Steveo said is correct, but that the issue goes beyond just the name(s) of YHWH.

Every bad thing that has happened to Iran since the end of WW2, the wars, the dictators, the oppression, the invasions, the Mullahs, has all been orchestrated and manipulated by City of London, using their private military force, the U.S.
All because Iran kicked British Petroleum out of Iranian oil fields after WW2. So City of London, the financial headquarters of the Evil, had the U.S. overthrow that Iranian government and gave Iraq everything it needed to invade Iran. Forcing decades of war and oppression onto the Iranian people.
British Petroleum is coming for Iranian oil. And when the Iranians started building weapons, Trump imposed sanctions on them.
And when they persisted Trump bombed them.
Larry Johnson did a good outline titled:
"Iran Does Not Hate Americans… But it Has Legitimate Reasons to Do So"
https://larrycjohnson.substack.com/p/iran-does-not-hate-americans-but?
And Greg Reese explains the ‘Why?’:
https://gregreese.substack.com/p/blowback-of-piracy?utm_source=podcast-email&publication_id=706779&post_id=189573404&utm_campaign=email-play-on-substack&utm_content=watch_now_gif&r=pqirh&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email
In the 1970's, my father worked in the oilfields overseas, and my mother was living in Tehran to be near him when he was on leave. I spent the summer of 1978 in Tehran with my mother. It is one of my most cherished memories. The country was clean, beautiful, and prosperous. The women on the streets looked like they had just come from Paris. Everyone seemed content and happy. Oil money was flowing into the country, and from what I could see, everyone was benefitting. When the Shah was overthrown shortly thereafter, I remember thinking, "What are these people thinking?!". Years later, I was speaking to an Iranian man who had fled to the U.S., and I asked him WHAT they were thinking. He told me the people had made a terrible mistake, and that he had been part of it. He hated the corruption of the Shah's government, and yearned for a more religious and rightious government, but what he got was worse. And now I wonder whether re-instating the Palavi's is a good idea or not.
That is a very shallow read on what's happening right now - although it makes sense in the larger historical perspective of awfulness inflicted on the Iranian people, I don't think "Trump bombed them" captures the current situation at all. This quick, decisive military action is preventing a major, protracted war from occurring....y'know, the very thing that the baddies want to promote and keep fueling. Israel doesn't want this, nor do all the neocon warhawks back home.
That is enough to indicate we are on the path to regional peace and stability for the first time in most of our lifetimes.
What a laughable, insane load of horsecrap.
"regional peace and stability"
Yes, so that British Petroleum can take Iran's oil fields under the protection of City of London's private military attack dogs, the U.S.
Take the red pill.
Critical, if Iran's oil output is interrupted in any significant way, I see US boots on the ground to help it continue to flow. Iran is top 3 oil reserves in the world and global economy suffers in short/medium term if it goes offline.
You really need to learn to read.wtf?

A Grateful American
From the moment we wake, it can be easy to get focused on what is wrong in our life and in our world. What we don’t have or how big our problems are. We can get so busy and so stressed we can lose focus on the gift of today. If we’re not careful we can take for granted our family our friends our health or our opportunities. We can easily lose sight of all the good things in our life. We can lose the right perspective.
Being unhappy and miserable with one’s life is a choice we make as is being happy. They say a grateful heart has no room for discouragement. We need to learn to appreciate and be grateful for what we have.
When I was a kid my Uncle Ben used to take me to work with him. He had a great way about him, he was kind, talented, I looked so forward to getting in his van knowing I was learning and at the end of the day I’d get 20 dollars. My Uncle Ben introduced me to many different trades, plumbing, heating, electric, carpentry, painting.
Years went by and I had gone to college, worked a couple of jobs and I then opened my small business. Every now and then my Uncle Ben would come to work with me and help me out, cutting lumber, wiring additions, sometime just picking up. Eventually he had grown old, his back and his body were hurting him and I would go and see him to see how he was doing.
One day I went to his house and was complaining how stressed I was. I couldn’t keep up with all of the jobs and the customers calls and at the same time try to keep my family happy, it seemed no matter how hard I worked it was never enough. I told him I just wanted to get through this part of my life, I was frustrated, it was a very stressful time.
My uncle looked at me and said “I wish I could be in your shoes. I would do anything to get up off this bed, drive to get a coffee and be able to do a hard days work. Life seems to have passed me by, and so quickly. If I could go back to where you are right now I’d give up everything I have”. He said to me “don’t be so willing to wish this time of your life away”. So many times we see the burden, and look past all the blessings in our life.
I left his house that day and realized how lucky I was just to be able to get up out of bed, open my eyes and see, smell the coffee brewing, do a hard days work. This for so many isn’t ordinary at all. Just look at how blessed we all are. We live in the greatest country in the history of the world. We have opportunities here others will never have. We all should be grateful for all that we have and all that we are able to do. God has blessed us all, our burden here in America is not to lose it. It’s all about our perspective of this life.
That day my Uncle Ben gave me new positive outlook on things. I realized how lucky I really was to be able to do my job, have a home and be able to take care of it. Have a wife that cares about me, have family and friends. With all the stresses in life it can be easy to lose focus on all of the blessings God has placed in our lives. J.Goodrich
Love that, James!
I needed this today.
My focus needs to shift!
So I Choose at this moment to:
"Look unto JESUS, the Author and Finisher (perfector!) of my faith, Who for the JOY set before Him, endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God!
(Hebrews 12:2)!
For me! For you! For whomsoever believes in Him - that we not perish by have everlasting life!
(I have had a tough week emotionally - caring for the elderly is hard!)
Thank you for lifting my spirit so I can make the choice to look up to my Savior and God! 🙏🏼😊
I needed it also VelvetStitching. I think a lot of us do.
Sending hugs to you and prayers for strength!! 🙏🙏🙏
Always be grateful for what GOD has given you instead of being ungrateful for what you have been given. HE knows what HE is doing. No, not now, maybe and yes are HIS answers. HE sees things we don't along with the consequences of us getting our way when it's not the best thing.
VERY WELL SAID ! Thanks for your restatement of the value of faith and family.
I love it! Every opportunity! I am joining you in being thankful and grateful to GOD right now. Thank you for reminding me.
Beautifully told. Thank you for sharing. I need this today, too.
It made me think of an old hymn we used to sing years ago. Here are the lyrics:
When upon life’s billows you are tempest tossed,
When you are discouraged, thinking all is lost,
Count your many blessings name them one by one,
And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.
Chorus:
Count your blessings, name them one by one;
Count your blessings, see what God hath done;
Count your blessings, name them one by one,
And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.
2
Are you ever burdened with a load of care?
Does the cross seem heavy you are called to bear?
Count your many blessings, every doubt will fly,
And you will be singing as the days go by.
3
When you look at others with their lands and gold,
Think that Christ has promised you His wealth untold.
Count your many blessings, money cannot buy
Your reward in heaven, nor your Lord on high.
4
So amid the conflict, whether great or small,
Do not be discouraged, God is over all;
Count your many blessings, angels will attend,
Help and comfort give you to your journey’s end.
I hope churches get back to the old hymns again.
Beautiful NanaW!
Glad you enjoyed it. I often have the old hymns pop in my head these days. Glad we got exposed to the rich history of church music years ago.
Where is God, from Revealing Jesus Substack
The man whispered, “God, speak to me.”
And a meadowlark sang. But the man did not hear.
So the man yelled, “God, speak to me!”
Thunder rolled across the sky. But the man did not listen.
The man looked around and said, “God, let me see you.”
A star shone brightly. But he noticed it not.
And the man shouted, “God, show me a miracle.”
And a life was born. But the man was unaware.
So, the man cried out in despair, “Touch me, God, and let me know that you are here!”
Whereupon God reached down and touched the man.
But the man brushed the butterfly away and walked on.
To find God you only need the right kind of eyes, the right kind of ears, and the right kind of attitude.
Jeff, James Talarico is no moderate. He’s a hardcore leftist with a soft voice and also is a stone cold heretic when comes to the Bible. He claims the Bible doesn’t say anything about sodomy, marriage or abortion. The young, strong, Dallas pastor Josh Howerton has been sounding the alarm on him for a while now. I urge people to look up his podcast and see how he refutes everything he says. I pray people don’t fall for his lies. He will be tough to beat because our 2 Republican senate candidates aren’t great and republicans down here are having a hard time getting behind either. I voted for Paxton but they will come after him hard in a general election. Either way we can’t let Texas fall to this guy and we can’t say he’s a moderate.

I like everything I have heard about Paxton. Not being from Texas, I have no say, but why would they come after him hard? It sounds like he was targeted by corrupt people from both sides in his tenure as AG.
He’s done a great job as Ag, but he cheated on his wife and there was a big corruption scandal down here involving him but he was acquitted by our senate. The libs will use that against him when they’re pushing their soft spoken choirboy James. I still think he would probably win but it will be close I’m afraid.
I remember Paxton doing an interview with Tucker, not long after Tucker left to do his own podcast. Paxton talked about the whole corruption scandal and how it was his own GOP party that was trying to get rid of him, mainly because he was going after “sleeping dogs” they wanted left laying. I can’t remember if he talked about the infidelity, but it seems like he did. From that interview, I liked him tremendously, and thought Trump might pick him for his AG. The Dems playbook never really changes, we just have to see it blue states to blue states.
Washington state just implemented a 35% death tax on top of bent the highest sales tax rate in all the states.
Guess who will be moving out before they die? Or even get a sniffle. 🤧
We are getting more taxes too right below ya in Oregon. Their solution is tax the peasants to death. Our gas is about to go up everything’s about to go up oh and possibly we’re about to not be allowed to raise cattle or get rid of rodents PETA is funding a law to get passed which will destroy what is left of Oregons dying economy.Things are just jolly here on the blue West huh? We are looking to moving depends on the November election honestly…it keeps getting worse we have family in Texas we are looking there or Idaho.
Texas. Idaho is over run and not the idyllic refuge it once was.
Still some room in rural Texas, which is about 99% red. I wouldn't live anywhere else in the country. Praise God I'm here!
William! I feel the same about Oklahoma. We have our problems too, though. Our governor Stitt started out good, but went downhill ,and the front runners for the next one are not good. Also we are stuck with Lankford for awhile longer.
Hard to believe they are trying to shove that bill down our throats.
Can you give me a link to that? I’m in Washington state and can’t keep up with all the new thievery afoot this session.
Colorado is the same with Dems tripping over themselves sponsoring all manner of Fundamental Transformational Legislavetion. For those of us in BLUE STATES, it is as if Harris and Walz won the election AND the Trump Boogeyman is alive and well to scapegoat and "Resist" incessantly in the Democult War on Normalcy. Our State GOP has further fragmented with each new Executive Committee formed this past decade, but the Highest State in the nation that will soon be RED (RED LIGHT that is when Dems legalize Prostitution for the entire state).
I like that word Legislaveation - I think I will try it out up here in Canada!
sorry, Legislavetion, or the "Annual or Bi-Annual Statutory work produced by dubious members of a democratically elected, Legislavetive body to enact legal regulations and compliance upon those they seek to exploit and exert control."
Washington state just implemented a 35% death tax on top of being the highest sales tax rate in all the states.

It's crazy that these politicians just keep shooting themselves in the feet again and again until they are stumps and that still doesn't change their thinking that perhaps they aren't following the best course of action. True ideologues.
How is it paid if you are dead?
It comes out of what we want to leave our children and the scholarships we’ve set up.

No plan to stay? Quick like VZ? I doubt this very much due to our entanglement with Israel. Do you think the Zionists won't demand we stay in the fight with Israel? You think Israel will drop this fight? Unlikely for us to walk away anytime soon but I pray my skepticism is proven wrong. Israel is not our friend. They only use us.
This is monopolistic Democrats at work. The problem is, they act like people can't move elsewhere.
Maybe they plan on stopping it.
You mean like an exit tax? That's possible when there's no opposition in place to temper their ambitions. Don't forget that they're going to require energy audits before you could sell your home (I read that yesterday but IDK if that has gone through yet or is in the works.)
Shhhh. 🤫Maybe they haven’t thought of an exit tax yet.
Don’t get enamored of Talarico. His two favorite words are “Christian nationalism” he learned growing up in a church whose pastor spent the last 40 years preaching progressive beliefs like pro-abortion. Talarico wears his faith on his sleeve while bashing other Christians who disagree with him. Same Dem messages, just a different wrapper.
"The 'Bible scholar' who gives sermons on the campaign trail spoke in public, often, for over a decade, in the voice of a distinctly secular technocrat. Then his ambitions pointed toward a statewide election, and he became a thin parody of a deeply confused tent show revivalist."
"Trying on his new Christian character in 2021, Talarico spoke on the floor of the Texas House to denounce that state’s successful effort to ban transgender competitors from girl’s sports."
"This man is strange, and he’s playacting. I don’t read minds, and I have no idea what James Talarico actually believes. But I’m certain (on considerable evidence) that his self-presentation is a calculated performance, and that there was a moment in his life when he decided to switch on the Jesus stuff for the cameras. Maybe he’s playing up some real faith that he used to play down, but there is a moment in his past when he made a choice about public themes that he had not previously made."
"Here’s the thing that sets my teeth on edge: There’s no way there aren’t journalists in Texas who don’t remember that Talarico came up as a secular technocrat who had little or nothing to say about religion, and there’s no way some of the people who are currently pretending to cover him as a Bible scholar weren’t more or less in the room when he decided to switch on the new character. They could just read their own newspapers, for crying out loud, going back less than a decade.
Fake politics needs fake media. The falsehood is deeply layered."

He is CREEPY! Like an automation; maybe he's one of the new robots? Programed and everything.
Who is Talarico’s pastor?

One hopes Dr. Oz will preempt the warm collectivist fraud likely now blooming in Mamdani Village.
@Rodger- there's a shite ton more to NY than just the city. Our taxes are ridiculous because of the Lear Jet of Medicaid program.
Good Wednesday morning
Good morning Barbara
Wow. That was fast.
Just happened to be holding my iPad when the notification came in
I was petting the kitten, who was standing on my phone.
I was embroiled in El Gato’s post this morning. There so much going on . . . again
@Linda- I haven't read it yet.
🤣🤣🤣
Janice,
Beautiful prayer this morning.
Thank you!
You live in occupied territory…😂
Good morning!
No wonder I'm not filthy rich. When living in New York and California, I forgot to hire myself as my own home health care aide. "Silly rabbit, Trix are for kids!"
"race-baiting, foul-mouthed Jasmine “Croquet” Crockett lost her primary in the Senate race to a Christian, moderate, Democrat Wonderbread white guy."
Except... the Christian, moderate, Democrat Wonderbread white guy is not a moderate, and isn't a Christian. He wasn't a Christian throughout his entire life of left-wing/progressive activism - there is no mention of anything related to religion at all - until very very recently.
Nor is he a moderate - he just "sounds" more moderate, which, when there is Jasmine Crockett standing next to you, is not so difficult. Which of his positions, exactly, are actually moderate?
So I wouldn't celebrate just yet - Crockett would have made a far easier opponent to defeat in November.
I’ll bet you at least some of California’s “hospice” agencies are also dabbling in the illicit drug (morphine) trade. I know from personal experience that hospice agencies literally ship morphine directly to the patient’s homes, do not require a signature upon delivery, do not monitor the use of the drug in the home, and do not require the return of the remaining morphine upon the patient’s death (euthanasia). How the heck does a Schedule II drug escape any controls in California by a licensed healthcare agency?
That's crazy. In my comment above yours I was saying how I worked for a home health agency. We had a special container to dispose of unused drugs (esp narcotics and benzos) in. And it was filled with some chemical concoction so once the drugs were in there they weren't coming back out. But this was an office that followed the rules, I'm assuming many do not and have no oversight somehow.
Not in California, at least, and not the agency that handled my dad’s euthanasia. And that was a reputable agency that is still in business and has been for decades.
From what Dr Oz said, LA County alone has more "hospice" agencies than the entire rest of the Nation. Nah, nothing going on there....
