“Whether you’re a masochistic originalist, a long-suffering long-time reader, or a brand-new victim, thanks for being here to celebrate the New Year with us.”
Thank you, Jeff. C&C has been a lifeline to us readers.
Happy New Year. May 2025 usher in God’s will for our nation and the world.
It is not an exaggeration to say that this community is largely responsible for my staying sane during the Time of Covid and beyond. I am so thankful for our gracious host but also for the kind, thoughtful, feisty and caring commenters. May our tribe grow in 2025!
It’s a wonderful tribe, one that I am immensely lucky to have found, albeit much later than most here, and one that I’m proud to be a part of. We are a Childers family now and that is definitely a feeling I needed.
I am very new. Wish I had found you much earlier. It is immensely reassuring to find a calm, cool head in the midst of the terrible storms of insanity we have somehow endured without losing our own minds. (Although members of my family would argue that I misplaced mine somewhere after the 2020 election and January 6th). It has been a time I cannot compare to any in my long lifetime. The rot, criminality, corruption. The history of past events that we have been forced to see completely differently. The evil of past Presidential administrations. The grifting, grabbing, selling out of our Country. The berserk, evil transgender movement perpetrated on children, mentally ill, autistic, and just rebellious teen-agers. THE BORDER! It makes me crazy going over even a few of these. Thank you for putting everything in perspective. And thank you for being a Christian who always leans into God.
....perfect love casteth out fear. Had to recite this to self daily, at least, in dim days of '21-'23. Oddly(!) that need stopped in April -23, when I began to read the Bible from Genesis 1:1 straight through. At Acts now.
I am still in the Los Angeles area. A few people are waking up, but, goodness, the stupidity and people still living in the matrix is real. I see it every day. These poor people.
We moved to the Conejo valley last year. On my walk Monday I saw someone sitting outside at a park, playing checkers, wearing a mask. It’s much less crazy here than 25 miles south, but the crazy still exists.
I know! There are still so many people wearing masks! It is so DEEPLY SAD. We find that people are not aggressive about it anymore, but rather frightened to death, walking around brainwashed. An example of this tragic mindset was exhibited to us recently at our granchild's Christian school. A little girl, daughter of an ER physician, refuses to unmask. She is scared, and Mom - who persuaded her to NEVER unmask at school two years ago - now cannot convince her otherwise. Heartbreaking.
Yes, I was just at a restaurant this weekend and saw a father masked up along with his small daughter. It's a shame that these parents instill their own irrational fears upon the kids. And at a Trader Joes two days ago, a young cashier also still donning a mask. He's been so brainwashed that to breathe is to die.
Listening to 'LAist', LA's #1 NPR radio station, drives me insane sometimes.
They are still pushing all of the propaganda narratives.
They are still on the Covid story while every week they
try to introduce more fearmongering. We need to stay very afraid as we are assaulted by West Nile virus, Zika, RSV Flu Rona, Avian Monkeypox, chickens infecting cows, and killing cats with raw milk. Salmonella and E coli in all of our food. The Trump take over is going to doom the country. Anti-vaxxer conspiracy theorist RFK Jr. is going to outlaw vaccines and bring back Polio.
Nothing but gloom and doom in the upcoming dark Winter of severe illness and death for us unvaccinated heathens.
And the media publishes headlines stating that someone got polio and measles, knowing people won’t read the actual article that states the polio strain is from the vaccine. Keep ‘em scared so they are easily controlled.
It’s a little bit insane. Someone I know asked some others where they could find the clot shot to give to their 11 year old daughter last week. I told her I thought they’d gotten rid of it for kids. (If only.) She has a lot of immune issues. She’s setting her kid up for that. This pocket of LA is truly deep in the matrix.
I was stopped at a red light yesterday and looked over to see a man, masked, in his car, alone, windows up. My city has SO many hospitalized and dying from pneumonia and other respiratory infections. It took all I could do to not roll my window down and yell, “TAKE OFF THAT MASK!!!”
AMEN! I’ve been with Jeff since the early FB days. Depression would set in when he’d get suspended by Zuck 🤦🏻♀️ we made it through! BUT without this group I’m not sure I would have stayed sane. Here’s to 2025! I wish you all a very happy and healthy year. 🥂🥂
Jeff’s humor, godly focus, and the supporting cast has lifted the dark clouds on many a gloomy outlook for me these past few years. Heartfelt thanks to one and all. Looking forward to 1/20/25.
Amen! I am grateful, for good I have been living. Jeff and all the loving people here have certainly been a blessing we all should continue in the footsteps of, to maintain and make better, our God-given inalienable rights.
22 Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.
23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)
24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works.
Yep. I understand that on a "theoretical" basis, but that doesn't much help my pragmatical bastard side who wishes he could see something about God's will that looks appealing. So far it's still really shitty looking - as in Evil Incarnate.
All you need to do is REFLECT UPON the Year in Review Jeff just gave us, from beginning to end.... WHO could have brought about such tremendous VICTORY, and given us such Beauty from ashes, but God's Will...
In my native language, we have a saying that loosely translated says, "there's no bigger blind man than he who refuses to SEE...
Oh I agree Mom! I just am hoping that we here below will get our act together on the rest of what needs to be done. My Mom always said, "God helps those who help themselves".
The word of God - the way I understand is thee is a future and a great plan that is shaping up as promised... it’s good for those of us who believe- it’s our blessed hope! If you don’t love the Bible yet- my fav pastor is Gary hamrick cornerstone church in Leesburg Virginia - his online content is amazing and he helps make the Bible fun to study! I never thought I’d say that! I highly recommend him and if you love this group I think you will find him to be a great bridge into where the real hope lies!!! Sending you faith love hope and joy for 2025 ! Praise the Lord for where we are!!!
In my life, God's hand has often been clearly seen...difficult things have come together perfectly as an expert puzzle maker had done all the work! NO DOUBT God brought so many things about...
A form of expression to say that God orchestrates numerous events in my life that would have been nearly impossible for me to bring about one by one, let alone all of them together... Have you NEVER experienced this???
Masochistic original here- C&C was my literal Lifeline when I caught a bad case of omicron in Jan 2021 - living in a camper for the first time in my life, with my husband, we had fled Chicago and were waiting for our home to be built nearby in SWFL. Because of Jeff, I learned about early, off label treatments and was able to find Dr John Littell who gave me the protocol that kept me out of the hospital and away from the doctors at Lee Health - sheeple who were pressuring me to get jabbed and screaming at me that I was killing "children on respirators who are dying"- all lies. I'm not exaggerating that C&C saved my life and gave me the fortitude to say no to the jab and convince my husband to say no as well. Nothing but gratitude for Jeff and the C&C community! Cheers for a healthy and happy 2025!!
A well blended head filled with uncertainty and doubt in 2021, only to be fully righted by being introduced to Jeff and his C&C insight. So grateful beyond words. Thank you from the deepest part of my being.
I don't think anyone knows the difference between Yashuah and Yahweh. Yahweh is the Father. Yashuah is the Son. Yashuah said "My father is greater than I." In Christianity, they are used interchangeably since that is what Bibles do. So, I guess it doesn't matter much, however, I find it interesting that no one seems to know the difference. And, I never hear "Yahweh" in churches. I'm glad people here know it.
When Christians say "LORD", which one are they refering to? Yahweh or Yahshuah? In most cases it doesn't matter and Christian Bibles don't tell us. I use the SCRIPTURES and the BOOK OF YAHWEH. They both distinguish between the Father and the Son. When an uneducated or non-Christian says "LORD", I don't know if he means lord MOLECH, lord VISHNEU, lord INVECTA, etc. Names ARE important. I know a 7 year old who accepted "jesus" into their life and became demon possessed. Pastor Ken Thornberg has a special ministry of casting "jesus" out of people so they don't have to be demon possessed. Jesus is not the Son of God. Yashuah is. And, His name is spelled YAshuah, not YEshuah. "Yashuah" means "Yahweh brings salvation". YEshuah doesn't.
Happy and blessed 2025 to you too Janice. I so enjoy reading your posts of scripture. Our Lord blesses us all every day with hope. He offers us grace each and every day and we are all undeserving. May we all focus on Jesus Christ this New Year and thank him for the many blessing's He bestows upon us all. Thank you, again, Janice, for your posts. God Bless You!
Long suffering long term reader here. 🤔🤣 Happy New Year everyone! May the Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you. May the Lord turn His face towards you and give you peace. God bless you in 2025.
I suspect that while much good news will continue to unfold, the coming year of 2025 will also bring surprises so shocking and unpredictable that we'll be left standing stunned, with jaws agape.
I think even Jeff Childers will struggle to find the words to analyze and describe them.
Buckle up, babies. Don't get too comfortable and don't take anything for granted.
I have mixed feelings about it, but for the time being will defer to President Trump on the matter.
I will say, though, just the name of paul ryan gets my danger alert hackles up. And while I do have questions about the current speaker, I give mighty thanks he's not ryan or pelosi. He doesn't come close to their levels of toxicity and treachery.
I like your term paul ryan lite. I sure hope it ultimately proves undeserved, though. Internecine is deadly, as we've seen in the past. We simply cannot afford it again. We have to find a better way.
Its most likely because we dont have weeks to fight over speaker. The election is to be certified 3 days later on jan 6, and then only 2 weeks til the current admin is out and the new installed. If the election isnt certified because they cant get a speaker elected (thereby stalling all other items) jan 20 could come w no pres/vp to take over, leaving grassley as acting pres til the jam gets unclogged. Its not a perfect solution to keep johnson but it is the most expedient to getting trump into office.
Trump needs to hit the ground running - another Speaker fight would distract from other pressing issues. Besides, a more conservative speaker cannot yet get the votes.
I was miffed at the Trump endorsement. Heck, I was miffed when Johnson got voted in!
All I can figure and hope for is that there’s a long game, something afoot once Trump is sworn in. And I wouldn’t be surprised if Matt Gaetz is part of the plan.
I want to slip in here an appeal for all of us to place the hurricane victims at the forefront of our minds as this year ends. I feel they should have had a more prominent position in the year-end summary. Many are still suffering in the cold as they wait for the new administration to have the true power to help them. If I were in their shoes I would feel forgotten as the Trump story overshadows my suffering. I understand why it has, but we all have the power to keep them front page news no matter the day. God Bless and keep safe those who are freezing in the cold with their children, and fighting to stay hopeful. I pray 2025 returns to them tenfold all that they lost.
Thank you for remembering my neighbors to the west. If not for the myriad of individuals and organizations stepping up in a big way, the situation would be much worse. Even so, it will take years to recover. It is shameful that the Biden administration chose to ignore their needs.
Anne, we’ve not forgotten. Our church has mission teams in parts of Western NC and a new mission couple just moved there to help. I know it seems small in contrast to the enormity of devastation, but haven’t forgotten you. Psalm 121
We are thankful for every person who has helped. Our church has sent several teams and has more trips scheduled. Unfortunately, my health won't allow me to go right now, I'm scheduled for knee replacement surgery in a couple of weeks. My Facebook newsfeed has been filled with posts about the help people are receiving and it's wonderful to see it!
I live on the Crystal Coast of NC, and my church has sent teams and supplies; and they're going again the second week in January. Like you, my health (and my age) won't allow me to go with them. I don't know that my heart could stand it. I was born in Appalachia, Virginia, and though I didn't grow up there, our family visited my grandparents in Big Stone Gap every summer. I still have have many relatives there. There is a heartstring attachment; I cried every day for the first week after it happened. My heart was broken. My heart still aches to see the devastation, and even moreso, the continuing aftermath. My nephew and his family were living in an RV in Ashe County and barely escaped being washed away in the flooding river that ran through their campground. I am encouraged, also, by the videos of the good things that are happening, and I share them on my feed, as well as the videos showing how desperately even more help is needed. It is my hope and prayer that the Trump Administration will step up to the plate and provide to these Americans the relief that they need and deserve.
Amen, Granny. My husband and I were able to help locally by making follow up calls to people who reported missing persons or persons in need. Thousands of calls were made. Neither my husband nor I talked to anyone who had received bad news, but others did. I loved celebrating with those whose friends or loved ones had been found safe.
I agree Juju, it makes me sad and angry to think of the enormous waste of our government, while we have Americans sleeping in a cold tent. SO many wrongs have not been made right yet, and I pray they will be soon!
Thank you for continuing to keep our area in your thoughts and prayers! The devastation to the area in terms of human lives and buildings/land/property is still impossible to imagine. So very many saints have come to the area to volunteer their time and resources, yet there are many areas that look as ravaged as they did the day of the hurricane. It is unfathomable that the government has allowed so much to be left undone and uncared for. Hopefully, Trump's administration will bring in much-needed resources.
Jeff-Thanks for your legal acumen, clear thinking through the lens of scripture and sanity, and the daily perspectives on what’s going on in our amazing, crazy US. It’s been a year like no other and I’m grateful to be on the other side of side of it.
Happy New Year and here’s to praying for 2025 and all it has to bring🎉.
Jeff, thank you so much for all of your hard work and dedication to Coffee and Covid! I started following you back in late summer of 2021 when I was searching for a way to avoid having to be jabbed for my job. (I'm a nurse) Thanks to your expert advice, and lovely sarcasm, I was able to request and successfully receive a religious exemption. Since then, I have not missed a day of your humorous and incredibly insightful writing, and our little family made the move to Florida. I definitely read and listen to news sources with a new ability to call out the bull crap. I really appreciate your ability to rein in the hysteria and to point people to the maker and creator of all things. I look forward to 2025 along with you!! Thanks again, Jeff!!
Did anyone else hear about the underwater volcano off the coast of Washington state that’s supposed to erupt imminently? Wonder what global warming psyop they’ll stick that one to. 🙄👀
Edited to add link to article, and to correct Washington to Oregon.
Doesn’t quite explain Hurricane Helene making an abrupt north west turn and wiping out WNC. And Northern Lights being seen in Florida and Texas…Too many strange weather patterns…
SO many strange weather patterns!! Just drove through the worst storms EVER from Texas back home to GA Friday & Saturday. Perhaps geo engineering is to blame ? The constant spraying of toxic chemicals into our atmosphere?
So frustrating in SoCal. Fog through the winter when it wasn't before and virtually every day ruined by trails.
That was the only blessing from covid was the spraying stopped for a month plus and I saw nature as God intended it. There were puffy clouds just like you see in renaissance paintings.
That “beautiful “ storm had tornadoes that killed people in Texas and left families homeless. THIS is what happens when men manipulate Mother Nature. Same thing happened in WNC .
Strange new fog in NE Florida. The constant dumping of chemicals / heavy metals into our atmosphere. Electro magnetic waves to move ‘weather’ around. We will pay a high price I think
40 States (including mine) are reporting that strange fog. It happened after days of spraying, and it looked like a heavy snow falling on night cams. It also smelled like chlorine. NASA has a patent for “Smart Dust”, aerosolized synthetic fog with particles that burrow into the lungs “and executes various Pathological Missions.”
Was just reading about the strange fogs this morning after seeing the post by Hustl on YouTube. We cannot see the mountains here in Arizona due to the haze, but that is pretty normal for this time of year due to wildfires, lack of rain, and smog from the LA harbor floating this way. But the visible particulates floating in the air (shown in that video) on the east coast and Europe do not look normal to me at all.
Are you talking about Kevin Costner and his bleating support for Liz Cheney and how she will go down in history as important as our founding fathers? Or did you mean the National Park with portals to hell?
It’s so easy, expected actually, to be a lib in Hollywood and Montana and Wyoming. They’ve made their millions, they can afford to be libs. Elite, pompous a-holes.
My understanding is that Yellowstone could erupt and take out a huge portion of the US.
I have been watching the earthquakes on the fault lines for a while now, as my mom lives in Redding. There is a whole lotta shakin' going on. More than normal by FAR since I became a hardcore earthquake watcher.
SE MO, down by the bootheel, is home to the New Madrid fault that produced some of the biggest recorded earthquakes in the US in 1811-12, estimate 7.5 -8.2. There have been some small quakes there this year, but 'the experts' are not expecting the Big One. Who knows!? It's a pretty sparsely populated area, but a big one could impact St. Louis and Memphis.
I read some books that had first hand accounts from that time. It was a fascinating history of that area pre-earthquake and post earthquake and eye-witness accounts from the earthquake itself. I cannot imagine the destruction today if an earthquake that big rocked that fault line.
Living and growing up in the KC area, we learned about it in school and local media dredges up stories on it from time to time. There was a series of small quakes earlier this month.
My mother was from southern MO and we traveled to visit her family from our home here in Florida 1-2 times a year. There have been earthquakes while we were there, none too strong though. But as a kid once I learned about the one that happened in 1812 it freaked me out. From then on I was paranoid going over the Mississippi in Memphis thinking that the big one might hit again just as we're crossing that bridge. Heck, I'm nearly 50 and I still think about it when we travel that way LOL
I've been paranoid when I get stuck in traffic on a bridge ever since that Minneapolis bridge collapsed during rush hour in 2007. Especially if there are a lot of semi's in the mix. Before that, always assumed that hey, we're the US, stuff like that doesn't happen here....And that Cairo bridge crossing from KY into IL (and the whole town of Cairo) seems sketchy as hell too. Glad I don't live around there and only have to go on it when we're traveling.
It's the Juan de Fuca plate off the Northwest coast of USA that subducts under our continental plate. It that thing cracks, it will release hell all along the San Andreas fault.
More than normal on the 2 Tectonic plates off the coast of California and small shakings around Mt. Lassen. Yes, more than normal by FAR. I am not talking about for all time. By FAR..as in by as far as I have been watching them in my 50 years of being interested in what goes on with the faults that run under my house. I did not mean literally, as from the beginning of time until now.
Apparently it erupted last in 2015 and I don’t remember hearing anything about it, so it must be small. But still, with Trump in the white house you know they’ll raise whatever distraction they can.
Given the serious subduction going on off the Washington coast and it's overdue status for eruption it only make sense to pay attention to anything with the potential to trigger an event.
Well it erupted in 2015 and I lived here then and it didn't cause any issues for anyone. And they're saying that when it erupts again, possibly by the end of 2025, we essentially won't even notice, just like last time.
Thank you for sharing. I didn't dive into Hunga volcano type but wonder if the "experts" are correct that there is nothing to see here due to the type of volcano.
Click on the link above and read the Daily Mail's post. This particular volcano erupted about 10 years ago too. "Fortunately, eruptions from Axial pose little threat to people and infrastructure on the West Coast. "
It occurs to me that perhaps a new moniker is in order for C&C going into the New Year. Perhaps drop the Covid reference all together in favor of Coffee & Childers…what say ye?!?
Dr Mercola has an excellent article about that today. And yes, the crazies are giddy with glee to enslave us, once again, with their horrendous masks, distancing and poison jabs. I perceive many of the cultists falling in line. I lost faith in the majority of Americans, recognizing the lunacy, with the last pandemic.
I said this a few times on yesterday's post, but you are not kidding. You have to watch Leanna Wen on Face the Nation to appreciate the desire of these people to torture us again.
Every time I turn around the Epoch Times has a new headline about how bird flu is killing someone or towns. I’ve learned to disregard most of what epoch times “reports” besides always being a few days behind the story -they push a lot of fear click bait headlines. 🙄 I just roll my eyes at all the bird flu crap. I won’t be surprised one bit if it hits just before the inauguration. On the other hand, I think these headlines are meant to test the public’s temperature on whether or not we will bite whatever bait they throw our way. So we’ll see.
I will give Epoch Times some grace as I think they earned it with their reporting on the 2020 post election and covid which was miles ahead of their mainstream colleagues.
That’s why I’ve stuck with them and kept looking at their stuff. I did appreciate their stuff a few years ago. But since then, I keep wondering if they got infiltrated because they just aren’t the same anymore.
Here in Canada they are asking the dairy farmers to use the PCR test on their milk to determine if there is bird flu present in the milk. So far they have pushed back at this, however I believe they will make it mandatory in the new year. Bovaire has also been approved for use in Canada for dairy cattle. The fight is far from over.
Big uproar in Australia at the moment over the Bovaer. Lots of people boycotting two of our 3 main grocery chains due to this disgusting contamination of our beef.
But the media are reassuring us that the FDA has approved it! Ha! They don’t even understand what a red flag that is.
Plus the fun part of the plandemic is yet to come. We'll be watching the fallout from covid - I'm looking forward many more lawsuits, DOGE firings as they get geared up, and even hopefully some people in jail.
The suggestion of a title change gets floated periodically, but usually falls flat. Although I like your Coffee and Childers moniker, those of us long time readers also see the value in keeping Covid in the picture, as a reminder of why it started and how far we’ve come. And as Jeff said this morning, it’s not unusual to see people wearing a mask, and sadly a large percentage of the population is still falling for the “get vaccinated” messaging, be it for covid or flu shot. Big Harma is still an immensely powerful force, and until we see significant signs of its fall, like no more commercials on TV, the fight is far from over. I’m still praying that RFK will be confirmed, and THEN that battles may truly be won and not just talked about. We have a long road ahead, and remembering what and why we’re fighting is critical.
“Covid” will mean so many things for a very, VERY long time. It’s becoming its own figure of speech in just one word. It’s powerful. It will take decades for that word to not hold deep meaning.
However, Coffee, Covid, and Cookies would be fun! 🤣 Low Carb Cookies of course! (I’ve become somewhat of a savant in making those … and they are delicious.)
Juju says: “ “Covid” will mean so many things for a very, VERY long time. It’s becoming its own figure of speech in just one word. It’s powerful. It will take decades for that word to not hold deep meaning.”
I agree with you Juju, and we should never forget the all the evils that one word, Covid, represents and the destruction it brought upon the world - intentionally by evil people without a trace of humanity in them.
No, the fun part is yet to come. We'll be watching the fallout from covid - I'm looking forward many more lawsuits, DOGE firings as they get geared up, and even hopefully some people in jail.
Only half way through and have spit out my coffee three times…Ryan E Coyote, “would have gotten away with it, too,” and the spring lamb? Oh my gosh too darn cute. Thanks for the memories (so far), Jeff, especially the memories of Saturday morning cartoons…when they were actually funny and taught important life lessons 💗. Happy New and Jubilant New Year to One and ALL!
Yep. They were the best. Old cartoons were so more than just laughs and giggles; they snuck in classical music, like sneaking broccoli into mac and cheese or peas into mashed potatoes, and introduced us to timeless humor, moral lessons, and a sprinkle of social commentary (sans the woke variety). The beloved characters embodied virtues such as honesty and bravery, proving that even animated rabbits could teach us a thing or two about ethics. They provided imaginative worlds that fueled creativity, and the artistic talent behind them inspired future animators. Plus, they were a great excuse for family bonding on lazy Saturday mornings. So, hats off to those animated gems that made us laugh, think, and maybe even dream a little bigger. And hats off to Jeff, for these important reminders! 🐰🎶📚
Agree w/ all, Nard! I loved those old cartoons & they were still playing when my boys were growing so I made sure they were part of their lives as well. I absolutely loathe everything that’s come since!
Right? I bought old videos for my kids to watch when they were growing up (that tells you how old I am!). I think Disney’s Codfish Ball was among their favorites (how far Disney has fallen truly breaks my heart…).
I believe you deserve to be independent journalist of 2024 (of course also 2020,2021,2022,and 2023)
Your legal expertise helped us all understand so much of what we were fighting against and gave us HOPE. Your wit kept us from taking everything so seriously and also made us LAUGH daily 😂.
Your wisdom was always so powerful. I feel BLESSED to have experienced such insight from your work.
May God Bless you and your family and May God Bless 2025. May we all draw closer to the Lord and feel His presence in our lives.
I live in one of the reddest states but even here most people fell for the COVID scam hook, line and sinker. Even my own dad, who got the first jab but didn’t live to get the second follow-up shot. In 2020-2021 I was part of a homeschool group and we all drove 30 minutes to a small rural church that would allow us to have our co-op day without wearing masks. That group and the C&C blog gave me courage to stand up to the craziness. Sometimes we just need to know that we are not alone. So thank you, Jeff and thank you, C&C family! Praying blessings for you all in 2025!
Thank you for highlighting the dangers of Ozempic. I was one of those who should have known better but got taken in by the PR. The result was a year of pain and I am one of the lucky ones!
“Whether you’re a masochistic originalist, a long-suffering long-time reader, or a brand-new victim, thanks for being here to celebrate the New Year with us.”
Thank you, Jeff. C&C has been a lifeline to us readers.
Happy New Year. May 2025 usher in God’s will for our nation and the world.
It is not an exaggeration to say that this community is largely responsible for my staying sane during the Time of Covid and beyond. I am so thankful for our gracious host but also for the kind, thoughtful, feisty and caring commenters. May our tribe grow in 2025!
It’s a wonderful tribe, one that I am immensely lucky to have found, albeit much later than most here, and one that I’m proud to be a part of. We are a Childers family now and that is definitely a feeling I needed.
I am very new. Wish I had found you much earlier. It is immensely reassuring to find a calm, cool head in the midst of the terrible storms of insanity we have somehow endured without losing our own minds. (Although members of my family would argue that I misplaced mine somewhere after the 2020 election and January 6th). It has been a time I cannot compare to any in my long lifetime. The rot, criminality, corruption. The history of past events that we have been forced to see completely differently. The evil of past Presidential administrations. The grifting, grabbing, selling out of our Country. The berserk, evil transgender movement perpetrated on children, mentally ill, autistic, and just rebellious teen-agers. THE BORDER! It makes me crazy going over even a few of these. Thank you for putting everything in perspective. And thank you for being a Christian who always leans into God.
I saw this posted on X earlier today:
“Worry is worshiping your problem. Praying is surrendering your problem.”
After reading what you wrote, it occurred to me that Jeff’s unique presentation, along with the other commenters here help me keep this in mind.
Happy New Year to you all, and may 2025 bring mostly pleasant news.
Piling on:
Worry is worshiping your problem,
Hate is trusting evil.
Praying is surrendering your problem,
Love is trusting God.
....perfect love casteth out fear. Had to recite this to self daily, at least, in dim days of '21-'23. Oddly(!) that need stopped in April -23, when I began to read the Bible from Genesis 1:1 straight through. At Acts now.
Dear Mary
Bless you for your comment, sister.
The Year of Our Lord 2024
1 Now Israel may say, and that truly,
if that the Lord had not our cause maintained;
if that the Lord had not our right sustained,
when cruel men against us furiously
rose up in wrath, to make of us their prey;
2 Then certainly they had devoured us all,
and swallowed quick, for aught that we could deem;
such was their rage, as we might well esteem.
And as fierce floods before them all things drown,
so had they brought our soul to death quite down.
3 The raging streams, with their proud swelling waves,
had then our soul o'erwhelmèd in the deep.
But blest be God, who doth us safely keep,
and hath not given us for a living prey
unto their teeth, and bloody cruelty.
4 Even as a bird out of the fowler's snare
escapes away, so is our soul set free:
broke are their nets, and thus escapèd we.
Therefore our help is in the Lord's great name,
who heaven and earth by his great power did frame.
Psalm 124
God Bless
May it ever be thus; blessed be the WORD of the LORD GOD JEHOVAH JIREH!!
Excellent summary!
Those of us who "found" C & C blog echo your sentiments - to the "nth degree", Mary!
Amen to that Juju!
Stop your grift! This oft repeated comment is a scam. Stay away!
Mary is a fraud who needs to be permanently blocked.
Mary, Tara, Kim all spambots.
Get off this thread, you bots.
@Juju- I can guarantee I'm newer than you.
I'm new here, too, Juju. Great to be part of such an erudite community.
I gotta' second this one too!
There you go again, rhyming...
Stop that rhyming now, I mean it!

Same. I was in Los Angeles late 2021 when I found C&C, and it pulled me through the dark days of vaccine cards and continuous lockdowns.
Thank you, Jeff!
I am still in the Los Angeles area. A few people are waking up, but, goodness, the stupidity and people still living in the matrix is real. I see it every day. These poor people.
We moved to the Conejo valley last year. On my walk Monday I saw someone sitting outside at a park, playing checkers, wearing a mask. It’s much less crazy here than 25 miles south, but the crazy still exists.
Nothing...absolutely nothing rivals the stupidity of mask-wearers. They're so stupid that they don't know how stupid they look.
And they will fight you to the death to keep those oxygen stealing, brain cell killing masks on.
I watched two people riding bikes with no one near them wearing masks on Sunday.
I know! There are still so many people wearing masks! It is so DEEPLY SAD. We find that people are not aggressive about it anymore, but rather frightened to death, walking around brainwashed. An example of this tragic mindset was exhibited to us recently at our granchild's Christian school. A little girl, daughter of an ER physician, refuses to unmask. She is scared, and Mom - who persuaded her to NEVER unmask at school two years ago - now cannot convince her otherwise. Heartbreaking.
Yes, I was just at a restaurant this weekend and saw a father masked up along with his small daughter. It's a shame that these parents instill their own irrational fears upon the kids. And at a Trader Joes two days ago, a young cashier also still donning a mask. He's been so brainwashed that to breathe is to die.
Child abuse.
By the way, Matt Biondi lives in that area. He swims with the local masters team there. I only know because I participate in a masters meet there.
Listening to 'LAist', LA's #1 NPR radio station, drives me insane sometimes.
They are still pushing all of the propaganda narratives.
They are still on the Covid story while every week they
try to introduce more fearmongering. We need to stay very afraid as we are assaulted by West Nile virus, Zika, RSV Flu Rona, Avian Monkeypox, chickens infecting cows, and killing cats with raw milk. Salmonella and E coli in all of our food. The Trump take over is going to doom the country. Anti-vaxxer conspiracy theorist RFK Jr. is going to outlaw vaccines and bring back Polio.
Nothing but gloom and doom in the upcoming dark Winter of severe illness and death for us unvaccinated heathens.
And the media publishes headlines stating that someone got polio and measles, knowing people won’t read the actual article that states the polio strain is from the vaccine. Keep ‘em scared so they are easily controlled.
It a symbol of a person's submission to the government.
Remember when it was a sign you were a criminal.
Yes, and proud of it!
Mee too...it's amazing
It’s a little bit insane. Someone I know asked some others where they could find the clot shot to give to their 11 year old daughter last week. I told her I thought they’d gotten rid of it for kids. (If only.) She has a lot of immune issues. She’s setting her kid up for that. This pocket of LA is truly deep in the matrix.
Best reply, "Why? I thought you loved your daughter."
I was stopped at a red light yesterday and looked over to see a man, masked, in his car, alone, windows up. My city has SO many hospitalized and dying from pneumonia and other respiratory infections. It took all I could do to not roll my window down and yell, “TAKE OFF THAT MASK!!!”
AMEN! I’ve been with Jeff since the early FB days. Depression would set in when he’d get suspended by Zuck 🤦🏻♀️ we made it through! BUT without this group I’m not sure I would have stayed sane. Here’s to 2025! I wish you all a very happy and healthy year. 🥂🥂
Jeff’s humor, godly focus, and the supporting cast has lifted the dark clouds on many a gloomy outlook for me these past few years. Heartfelt thanks to one and all. Looking forward to 1/20/25.
I found him the last couple of months that he was on FB. I’m so grateful that I did. What a difference he made for my sanity.
I'll second that! Blessings C&C tribe🇺🇲🇺🇲❤️🤍💙
Hey, you beat me to it.
Excellent comment NAB! Blessings to all in the New Year!
We need to do a cruise or some type of family reunion !! It would be great
💯‼️💯‼️💯‼️
100% agree! Sanity was kept during insane times. 🤓
I couldn’t agree more
Truly!
I feel the same way!
Ditto this!
You can be sure God’s will will be done. Amen🙏

1 Now Israel may say, and that truly,
if that the Lord had not our cause maintained;
if that the Lord had not our right sustained,
when cruel men against us furiously
rose up in wrath, to make of us their prey;
2 Then certainly they had devoured us all,
and swallowed quick, for aught that we could deem;
such was their rage, as we might well esteem.
And as fierce floods before them all things drown,
so had they brought our soul to death quite down.
3 The raging streams, with their proud swelling waves,
had then our soul o'erwhelmèd in the deep.
But blest be God, who doth us safely keep,
and hath not given us for a living prey
unto their teeth, and bloody cruelty.
4 Even as a bird out of the fowler's snare
escapes away, so is our soul set free:
broke are their nets, and thus escapèd we.
Therefore our help is in the Lord's great name,
who heaven and earth by his great power did frame.
Psalm 124
God Bless
Amen! I am grateful, for good I have been living. Jeff and all the loving people here have certainly been a blessing we all should continue in the footsteps of, to maintain and make better, our God-given inalienable rights.
Amen sister.
Thankyou for your reply.
22 Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.
23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)
24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works.
Hebrews 10
God Bless
Yep. I understand that on a "theoretical" basis, but that doesn't much help my pragmatical bastard side who wishes he could see something about God's will that looks appealing. So far it's still really shitty looking - as in Evil Incarnate.
All you need to do is REFLECT UPON the Year in Review Jeff just gave us, from beginning to end.... WHO could have brought about such tremendous VICTORY, and given us such Beauty from ashes, but God's Will...
In my native language, we have a saying that loosely translated says, "there's no bigger blind man than he who refuses to SEE...
Oh I agree Mom! I just am hoping that we here below will get our act together on the rest of what needs to be done. My Mom always said, "God helps those who help themselves".
And my Dad always said "God helps those who help themselves, but God help those who get caught helping themselves" LOL 😂😜
Love your saying! Similar: "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder."
And, "What YOU see is what YOU get."
Amen sister

The word of God - the way I understand is thee is a future and a great plan that is shaping up as promised... it’s good for those of us who believe- it’s our blessed hope! If you don’t love the Bible yet- my fav pastor is Gary hamrick cornerstone church in Leesburg Virginia - his online content is amazing and he helps make the Bible fun to study! I never thought I’d say that! I highly recommend him and if you love this group I think you will find him to be a great bridge into where the real hope lies!!! Sending you faith love hope and joy for 2025 ! Praise the Lord for where we are!!!
@ Calvary Chapel Chino Hills, CA
Pastor Jack Hibbs teaches the word of God boldly and unashamedly...
Book by book, chapter by chapter...
Yes, Praise the Lord all you His saints!
Bless the Lord, O my soul;
And all that is within me, bless His holy name!
Bless the Lord, O my soul,
And forget not all His benefits:
Who forgives all your iniquities,
Who heals all your diseases,
Who redeems your life from destruction,
Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies,
Who satisfies your mouth with good things,
So that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
The Lord executes righteousness
and justice for all the oppressed.
He revealed his ways to Moses,
his deeds to the people of Israel.
The Lord is compassionate and gracious,
slow to anger and abounding in faithful love.
He will not always accuse us
or be angry forever.
He has not dealt with us as our sins deserve
or repaid us according to our iniquities.
For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
so great is his faithful love toward those who fear him.
As far as the east is from the west,
so far has he removed our transgressions from us.
As a father has compassion on his children,
so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him.
For he knows what we are made of,
remembering that we are dust.
As for man, his days are like grass —
he blooms like a flower of the field;
when the wind passes over it, it vanishes,
and its place is no longer known.
But from eternity to eternity
the Lord’s faithful love is toward those who fear him,
and his righteousness toward the grandchildren
of those who keep his covenant,
who remember to observe his precepts.
The Lord has established his throne in heaven,
and his kingdom rules over all.
Bless the Lord, all his angels of great strength,
who do his word, obedient to his command.
Bless the Lord, all his armies,
his servants who do his will.
Bless the Lord, all his works
in all the places where he rules.
My soul, bless the Lord!
Psalm 103
Thankyou sister
The Lord works in mysterious ways,
ways that are indistinguishable from
what we would expect if there were no gods at all.
In my life, God's hand has often been clearly seen...difficult things have come together perfectly as an expert puzzle maker had done all the work! NO DOUBT God brought so many things about...
When and where were you able to view 'God's hand'?
A form of expression to say that God orchestrates numerous events in my life that would have been nearly impossible for me to bring about one by one, let alone all of them together... Have you NEVER experienced this???
Which is akin to the saying, "God allows what God does not intend".
God's intentions always seem to align perfectly with a believer's intentions.
How does anyone know what God wants?
Read His Word, and discover what God wants....
Whoops, that's dangerous talk to call God those two words.
Monterey, among all the words on this page, which two words are you referring to??
Masochistic original here- C&C was my literal Lifeline when I caught a bad case of omicron in Jan 2021 - living in a camper for the first time in my life, with my husband, we had fled Chicago and were waiting for our home to be built nearby in SWFL. Because of Jeff, I learned about early, off label treatments and was able to find Dr John Littell who gave me the protocol that kept me out of the hospital and away from the doctors at Lee Health - sheeple who were pressuring me to get jabbed and screaming at me that I was killing "children on respirators who are dying"- all lies. I'm not exaggerating that C&C saved my life and gave me the fortitude to say no to the jab and convince my husband to say no as well. Nothing but gratitude for Jeff and the C&C community! Cheers for a healthy and happy 2025!!
So glad you found C&C and Dr Littell!! Happy New Year, Verve!!
So glad to have met you in real life RunningLogic! Another C&C bonus!! Happy New Year!
Me too!! That was so wonderful!! 😍 Indeed a great C&C bonus!!
Say hello to Ft. Myers for me!
Beautiful! These heartfelt words will continue to make ripples beyond our understanding. May you have a blessed happy and healthy good year!
Amen! Well said thanks and Happy New Year all 🥳
I agree. Thank you Jeff for being the lifeline for me for the past two years ❤️
A must read every single day! So thankful for you Jeff! God bless! ❤️
Yes, thank you, Jeff! C&C really is a lifeline!
A well blended head filled with uncertainty and doubt in 2021, only to be fully righted by being introduced to Jeff and his C&C insight. So grateful beyond words. Thank you from the deepest part of my being.
Well said Pamela!
2024, for me at least, has been a call to repentance. And...I am so grateful for my all Coffee&Covid friends.
Praying we believers don’t waste this mercy.
Amen!
and, I will second that one.
"masochistic originalist" - wha' dat?
Amen to this!
Perfect comment!
Happy New Year to you, Jeff & all C&Cer's!
Yes, this!! I heartily agree with this post!!
The angel of Yahweh encamps around those who fear Him,
And rescues them.
O taste and see that Yahweh is good;
How blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him!
Oh, fear Yahweh, you His saints;
For there is no want to those who fear Him.
— Psalm 34:7-9 LSB
Happy and blessed 2025 to all of you. May we all focus on the Lord and His work as He walks us toward heaven.
May Almighty Yahweh bless America and protect us from evil in 2025.
I'm impressed that you and Janice know His name.
Many here know the name of the LORD...
It's NOT a secret...
I don't think anyone knows the difference between Yashuah and Yahweh. Yahweh is the Father. Yashuah is the Son. Yashuah said "My father is greater than I." In Christianity, they are used interchangeably since that is what Bibles do. So, I guess it doesn't matter much, however, I find it interesting that no one seems to know the difference. And, I never hear "Yahweh" in churches. I'm glad people here know it.
Many here know the difference, but we use the English just like we say father rather than abba to our own dads.
I disagree. Lots know the difference in the names. Yeshuah was human.
When Christians say "LORD", which one are they refering to? Yahweh or Yahshuah? In most cases it doesn't matter and Christian Bibles don't tell us. I use the SCRIPTURES and the BOOK OF YAHWEH. They both distinguish between the Father and the Son. When an uneducated or non-Christian says "LORD", I don't know if he means lord MOLECH, lord VISHNEU, lord INVECTA, etc. Names ARE important. I know a 7 year old who accepted "jesus" into their life and became demon possessed. Pastor Ken Thornberg has a special ministry of casting "jesus" out of people so they don't have to be demon possessed. Jesus is not the Son of God. Yashuah is. And, His name is spelled YAshuah, not YEshuah. "Yashuah" means "Yahweh brings salvation". YEshuah doesn't.
Happy and blessed 2025 to you too Janice. I so enjoy reading your posts of scripture. Our Lord blesses us all every day with hope. He offers us grace each and every day and we are all undeserving. May we all focus on Jesus Christ this New Year and thank him for the many blessing's He bestows upon us all. Thank you, again, Janice, for your posts. God Bless You!
Amen. And thank you!
Exactly!!!
Yes Janice and thank you! 💟✝️
Thank you Janice. 🩷
ANEN!!!

Long suffering long term reader here. 🤔🤣 Happy New Year everyone! May the Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you. May the Lord turn His face towards you and give you peace. God bless you in 2025.
My favorite Bible passage. Our church sings it after our Wednesday Bible teaching.
Athey Creek? Brett sings that often
Athey Creek by any chance???
🙌
Non suffering, long term reader, family was rescued from Covid calamity by Jeff’s inspiring words and all the “family” comments ❤️
Amen and Amen 🙏
Right back to you! X100!
Jeff - Happy New Year to you and your family.
Thank you for providing us with prose that makes us laugh, makes us grateful and gives us hope.
God bless you.
Yes! Giving us the latest info with a sense of humor and sarcasm is right up my alley. Appreciate all your hard work.
Happy New Year everyone!
Ditto sissy. ♥️Where would we be without Jeff ? The best of everything in a Substack author.
Thankyou for your work too, Laura.

I suspect that while much good news will continue to unfold, the coming year of 2025 will also bring surprises so shocking and unpredictable that we'll be left standing stunned, with jaws agape.
I think even Jeff Childers will struggle to find the words to analyze and describe them.
Buckle up, babies. Don't get too comfortable and don't take anything for granted.
💯. Now is not only a time to celebrate, but a time to reject complacency and carry on well armed for whatever nonsense comes next!
Agreed.
I always recommend staying pleasant, friendly, kind and quietly lethal.
"Quietly lethal" I like that!
Was saying exactly the same as I read your comment!
Eloquently said!
Boom! 💥
I like your style!
When do the t-shirts come out?
😁
I would love to walk behind Jesus bathing in the scent of Nard wafting from his cloak. All strength through Him.
Had to read it twice! Commas are good, commas are our friends...
Amen!
I would be happily shocked if "Paul Ryan Lite" Mike Johnson was replaced as speaker with a true Trump-supporting Conservative.
I have mixed feelings about it, but for the time being will defer to President Trump on the matter.
I will say, though, just the name of paul ryan gets my danger alert hackles up. And while I do have questions about the current speaker, I give mighty thanks he's not ryan or pelosi. He doesn't come close to their levels of toxicity and treachery.
I like your term paul ryan lite. I sure hope it ultimately proves undeserved, though. Internecine is deadly, as we've seen in the past. We simply cannot afford it again. We have to find a better way.
DJT has already endorsed him. It's this sort of shit that makes me wonder about Trump.
Its most likely because we dont have weeks to fight over speaker. The election is to be certified 3 days later on jan 6, and then only 2 weeks til the current admin is out and the new installed. If the election isnt certified because they cant get a speaker elected (thereby stalling all other items) jan 20 could come w no pres/vp to take over, leaving grassley as acting pres til the jam gets unclogged. Its not a perfect solution to keep johnson but it is the most expedient to getting trump into office.
Your thinking is very cogent. It has helped me make sense out of Trump's methods.
Nice and tidy, but just for once I want to see the hammer come down.
Trump needs to hit the ground running - another Speaker fight would distract from other pressing issues. Besides, a more conservative speaker cannot yet get the votes.
Got it!
Re: hitting the ground, saw Steve Bannon with what's her name (M. Kelly) and he said Trump has 6 months.
If you’re “wonder about Trump”, that means you’re a critical thinker, as you should be.
Stop wondering and dump the copium. Trumpism is a lie.
https://open.substack.com/pub/forbiddentexts/p/against-vibes-against-cope-against
the Demoncrats lie about everything. Trump only lies about a few things. You have to take what you can get.
I never choose evil over evil. Trump is evil.
But don't you know, you should always choose the lesser of two weevils?
I was miffed at the Trump endorsement. Heck, I was miffed when Johnson got voted in!
All I can figure and hope for is that there’s a long game, something afoot once Trump is sworn in. And I wouldn’t be surprised if Matt Gaetz is part of the plan.
Don't hold your breath. Look who is the Senate majority leader
Amen. There's a place for optimism but we should not hang onto it like it is some done deal. The November election was the Beginning only.
And we're dealing with rabidly corrupt cornered rats.
It's no time for distractions.
I totally agree. 2024 just set the stage for perhaps the most momentous year the world has ever seen
The most monentous year since AD 32, that is.
This is but the calm before the storm. Enjoy the day!
Yes, do keep hanging on, you just described life on planet earth...
Agreed
I hope all of the C&C family have a safe, healthy, and blessed 2025.
I am glad we made it through 2024, together.
You too Dave ☺️
I want to slip in here an appeal for all of us to place the hurricane victims at the forefront of our minds as this year ends. I feel they should have had a more prominent position in the year-end summary. Many are still suffering in the cold as they wait for the new administration to have the true power to help them. If I were in their shoes I would feel forgotten as the Trump story overshadows my suffering. I understand why it has, but we all have the power to keep them front page news no matter the day. God Bless and keep safe those who are freezing in the cold with their children, and fighting to stay hopeful. I pray 2025 returns to them tenfold all that they lost.
Thank you for remembering my neighbors to the west. If not for the myriad of individuals and organizations stepping up in a big way, the situation would be much worse. Even so, it will take years to recover. It is shameful that the Biden administration chose to ignore their needs.
Anne, we’ve not forgotten. Our church has mission teams in parts of Western NC and a new mission couple just moved there to help. I know it seems small in contrast to the enormity of devastation, but haven’t forgotten you. Psalm 121
We are thankful for every person who has helped. Our church has sent several teams and has more trips scheduled. Unfortunately, my health won't allow me to go right now, I'm scheduled for knee replacement surgery in a couple of weeks. My Facebook newsfeed has been filled with posts about the help people are receiving and it's wonderful to see it!
I live on the Crystal Coast of NC, and my church has sent teams and supplies; and they're going again the second week in January. Like you, my health (and my age) won't allow me to go with them. I don't know that my heart could stand it. I was born in Appalachia, Virginia, and though I didn't grow up there, our family visited my grandparents in Big Stone Gap every summer. I still have have many relatives there. There is a heartstring attachment; I cried every day for the first week after it happened. My heart was broken. My heart still aches to see the devastation, and even moreso, the continuing aftermath. My nephew and his family were living in an RV in Ashe County and barely escaped being washed away in the flooding river that ran through their campground. I am encouraged, also, by the videos of the good things that are happening, and I share them on my feed, as well as the videos showing how desperately even more help is needed. It is my hope and prayer that the Trump Administration will step up to the plate and provide to these Americans the relief that they need and deserve.
Amen, Granny. My husband and I were able to help locally by making follow up calls to people who reported missing persons or persons in need. Thousands of calls were made. Neither my husband nor I talked to anyone who had received bad news, but others did. I loved celebrating with those whose friends or loved ones had been found safe.
It didn't ignore their needs - it gave them a middle finger, while "blessing" the invading aliens with largesse.
It's absolutely maddening, FGB3! That and the billions still going to Ukraine!
And Trump is now the next one sending those billions...
Trump is now sending billions to Ukraine??
Here’s a heartwarming hopeful update of how Amish have not forgotten them.
https://x.com/collinrugg/status/1874127277333618911?s=46
Beautiful!
I agree Juju, it makes me sad and angry to think of the enormous waste of our government, while we have Americans sleeping in a cold tent. SO many wrongs have not been made right yet, and I pray they will be soon!
It was, and is, just right in your face! It's like those "ceremonies" at the Paris Olympics. Just out front and Devil may care.
So sad. I appreciate and bless all who have volunteered and given.
And if this is indeed a Jubilee year, may all their debts be forgiven.
Thank you for continuing to keep our area in your thoughts and prayers! The devastation to the area in terms of human lives and buildings/land/property is still impossible to imagine. So very many saints have come to the area to volunteer their time and resources, yet there are many areas that look as ravaged as they did the day of the hurricane. It is unfathomable that the government has allowed so much to be left undone and uncared for. Hopefully, Trump's administration will bring in much-needed resources.
I hear new rain has washed away the temporay bridges.
This, among many other things, is what prompted my comment above.
Me too Dave
Thank you Jeff for your insights, perspectives and humor throughout 2024. Wishing you and all of the C&C family a blessed 2025❤️
Jeff-Thanks for your legal acumen, clear thinking through the lens of scripture and sanity, and the daily perspectives on what’s going on in our amazing, crazy US. It’s been a year like no other and I’m grateful to be on the other side of side of it.
Happy New Year and here’s to praying for 2025 and all it has to bring🎉.
Jeff, thank you so much for all of your hard work and dedication to Coffee and Covid! I started following you back in late summer of 2021 when I was searching for a way to avoid having to be jabbed for my job. (I'm a nurse) Thanks to your expert advice, and lovely sarcasm, I was able to request and successfully receive a religious exemption. Since then, I have not missed a day of your humorous and incredibly insightful writing, and our little family made the move to Florida. I definitely read and listen to news sources with a new ability to call out the bull crap. I really appreciate your ability to rein in the hysteria and to point people to the maker and creator of all things. I look forward to 2025 along with you!! Thanks again, Jeff!!
Beautiful said. Thank you 🙏
Did anyone else hear about the underwater volcano off the coast of Washington state that’s supposed to erupt imminently? Wonder what global warming psyop they’ll stick that one to. 🙄👀
Edited to add link to article, and to correct Washington to Oregon.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-14237183/underwater-volcano-west-coast-erupt-2025.html
They won’t mention it, just like they don’t talk about hungatonga. It pretty much puts the whole man made climate change narrative in the toilet.
Doesn’t quite explain Hurricane Helene making an abrupt north west turn and wiping out WNC. And Northern Lights being seen in Florida and Texas…Too many strange weather patterns…
Man keeps trying to be God
SO many strange weather patterns!! Just drove through the worst storms EVER from Texas back home to GA Friday & Saturday. Perhaps geo engineering is to blame ? The constant spraying of toxic chemicals into our atmosphere?
Climate change IS man playing God !
💯💯💯
So frustrating in SoCal. Fog through the winter when it wasn't before and virtually every day ruined by trails.
That was the only blessing from covid was the spraying stopped for a month plus and I saw nature as God intended it. There were puffy clouds just like you see in renaissance paintings.
It's telling that NOAA has security clearances.
Ahhhh....PUFFY CLOUDS......I SO miss them!!!!
Wasn't there an ad some time ago warning us not to mess with Mother Nature? Here it is. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gDkiq5jD5Hc
It was a beautiful storm if nothing else.
That “beautiful “ storm had tornadoes that killed people in Texas and left families homeless. THIS is what happens when men manipulate Mother Nature. Same thing happened in WNC .
And always failing miserably..
🎯
Strange new fog in NE Florida. The constant dumping of chemicals / heavy metals into our atmosphere. Electro magnetic waves to move ‘weather’ around. We will pay a high price I think
40 States (including mine) are reporting that strange fog. It happened after days of spraying, and it looked like a heavy snow falling on night cams. It also smelled like chlorine. NASA has a patent for “Smart Dust”, aerosolized synthetic fog with particles that burrow into the lungs “and executes various Pathological Missions.”
Was just reading about the strange fogs this morning after seeing the post by Hustl on YouTube. We cannot see the mountains here in Arizona due to the haze, but that is pretty normal for this time of year due to wildfires, lack of rain, and smog from the LA harbor floating this way. But the visible particulates floating in the air (shown in that video) on the east coast and Europe do not look normal to me at all.
…created by government.
I am SO hoping that RFK Jr. will STOP this crap.....just like he said in a 20 second video I watched......of him SAYING it.! Please, on day ONE!!!!
They never mention how much CO2 Yellowstone releases each year.
Are you talking about Kevin Costner and his bleating support for Liz Cheney and how she will go down in history as important as our founding fathers? Or did you mean the National Park with portals to hell?
It’s so easy, expected actually, to be a lib in Hollywood and Montana and Wyoming. They’ve made their millions, they can afford to be libs. Elite, pompous a-holes.
My understanding is that Yellowstone could erupt and take out a huge portion of the US.
It's funny because the ruggedness of the pioneers who lived in rough places is co-opted by people who think they can buy ruggedness with money.
It's a foreign idea, to split firewood like one's life depends on it.
The BTUs available in a single hundred dollar bill are laughably miniscule.
Hadn't heard that about Costner. That's hilarious.
oh Splatt!

Lets not forget about Heinrich events and all the context they provide.
Context and nuance is the enemy of a foe that depends on Alinsky rule13
The very same Alinsky who dedicated his book to Lucifer.
and there are lots of other things that put the entire narrative in the toilet for anyone interested in taking a look
I have been watching the earthquakes on the fault lines for a while now, as my mom lives in Redding. There is a whole lotta shakin' going on. More than normal by FAR since I became a hardcore earthquake watcher.
SE MO, down by the bootheel, is home to the New Madrid fault that produced some of the biggest recorded earthquakes in the US in 1811-12, estimate 7.5 -8.2. There have been some small quakes there this year, but 'the experts' are not expecting the Big One. Who knows!? It's a pretty sparsely populated area, but a big one could impact St. Louis and Memphis.
I read some books that had first hand accounts from that time. It was a fascinating history of that area pre-earthquake and post earthquake and eye-witness accounts from the earthquake itself. I cannot imagine the destruction today if an earthquake that big rocked that fault line.
If I recall, Sam Clemens wrote about the effect that quake had on Mississippi River steamboat traffic.
Living and growing up in the KC area, we learned about it in school and local media dredges up stories on it from time to time. There was a series of small quakes earlier this month.
My mother was from southern MO and we traveled to visit her family from our home here in Florida 1-2 times a year. There have been earthquakes while we were there, none too strong though. But as a kid once I learned about the one that happened in 1812 it freaked me out. From then on I was paranoid going over the Mississippi in Memphis thinking that the big one might hit again just as we're crossing that bridge. Heck, I'm nearly 50 and I still think about it when we travel that way LOL
I've always had a fear of crossing bridges.
I've been paranoid when I get stuck in traffic on a bridge ever since that Minneapolis bridge collapsed during rush hour in 2007. Especially if there are a lot of semi's in the mix. Before that, always assumed that hey, we're the US, stuff like that doesn't happen here....And that Cairo bridge crossing from KY into IL (and the whole town of Cairo) seems sketchy as hell too. Glad I don't live around there and only have to go on it when we're traveling.
SadieJay - "More than normal by FAR." ?? Best take a bit longer look back thru geologic history - Earth has always had earthquakes...
It's the Juan de Fuca plate off the Northwest coast of USA that subducts under our continental plate. It that thing cracks, it will release hell all along the San Andreas fault.
More than normal on the 2 Tectonic plates off the coast of California and small shakings around Mt. Lassen. Yes, more than normal by FAR. I am not talking about for all time. By FAR..as in by as far as I have been watching them in my 50 years of being interested in what goes on with the faults that run under my house. I did not mean literally, as from the beginning of time until now.
Oregon, I believe, not Washington.
You’re probably right.
You’re right, I looked again. It’s Oregon.
I live in Portland, haven't heard about this but now I'm going get as much info as I can, thanks!
Apparently it erupted last in 2015 and I don’t remember hearing anything about it, so it must be small. But still, with Trump in the white house you know they’ll raise whatever distraction they can.
Size is not the thing it is a shield volcano and they are very kind and sweet.
Close enough……
You betcha.
Given the serious subduction going on off the Washington coast and it's overdue status for eruption it only make sense to pay attention to anything with the potential to trigger an event.
Very interesting. Where did you learn about it?
I hadn't heard this, but I'm sure I'm not the only washingtonian here who'd like to know more about it and see a link.
It was a blurb on the Naked Emperor substack this morning. Let me see if I can find a link.
Well it erupted in 2015 and I lived here then and it didn't cause any issues for anyone. And they're saying that when it erupts again, possibly by the end of 2025, we essentially won't even notice, just like last time.
Here you go, it was a Daily Mail link…
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-14237183/underwater-volcano-west-coast-erupt-2025.html
It sucks to have to go to resources outside of the US for news updates.
One of the reasons I follow that substack… it’s out of the UK.
Thank you for sharing. I didn't dive into Hunga volcano type but wonder if the "experts" are correct that there is nothing to see here due to the type of volcano.
We. Shall. See.
Oregon. Plus it's a shield volcano so little threat to people or infrastructure.
Excellent. Thanks, Valerie.
No I haven't
Click on the link above and read the Daily Mail's post. This particular volcano erupted about 10 years ago too. "Fortunately, eruptions from Axial pose little threat to people and infrastructure on the West Coast. "
…as long as it doesn’t ‘trigger’ Yellowstone! That is one scary thought.
“That's largely because it is a shield volcano, which generally do not have very explosive eruptions.
What's more, the seismic activity around it is too minimal to cause a tsunami or a major earthquake.” I think it will be minor
It occurs to me that perhaps a new moniker is in order for C&C going into the New Year. Perhaps drop the Covid reference all together in favor of Coffee & Childers…what say ye?!?
Nah...the crazies are pushing bird flu...same playbook as covid.
Dr Mercola has an excellent article about that today. And yes, the crazies are giddy with glee to enslave us, once again, with their horrendous masks, distancing and poison jabs. I perceive many of the cultists falling in line. I lost faith in the majority of Americans, recognizing the lunacy, with the last pandemic.
I said this a few times on yesterday's post, but you are not kidding. You have to watch Leanna Wen on Face the Nation to appreciate the desire of these people to torture us again.
Don't forget, she used to be in charge of Planned Parenthood.
So...she is used to murder.
I saw that interview w Lena Wan and thought it was an AI created joke! i cannot believe folks fall for her nonsense!!
Speaking of Wen, she has a sus background. This may explain why she is always front and center:
https://x.com/JeremyRyanSlate/status/1873444556894851397?t=KyzwzvWgUOaouMSd_O_wNQ&s=19
The "Forest Gump" of the medical industry is so accurate!
P.S. Great thread, by the way. The clip of her from Boston after the Boston Marathon bombing is just creepy. There is something deeply off about her.
Just like Malone is the Zelig....
I'll take your word for it.
Every time I turn around the Epoch Times has a new headline about how bird flu is killing someone or towns. I’ve learned to disregard most of what epoch times “reports” besides always being a few days behind the story -they push a lot of fear click bait headlines. 🙄 I just roll my eyes at all the bird flu crap. I won’t be surprised one bit if it hits just before the inauguration. On the other hand, I think these headlines are meant to test the public’s temperature on whether or not we will bite whatever bait they throw our way. So we’ll see.
I will give Epoch Times some grace as I think they earned it with their reporting on the 2020 post election and covid which was miles ahead of their mainstream colleagues.
That’s why I’ve stuck with them and kept looking at their stuff. I did appreciate their stuff a few years ago. But since then, I keep wondering if they got infiltrated because they just aren’t the same anymore.
I canceled my subscription to The Epoch Times, for the reasons you stated and others.
Good to read up on the bird flu BS…

Here in Canada they are asking the dairy farmers to use the PCR test on their milk to determine if there is bird flu present in the milk. So far they have pushed back at this, however I believe they will make it mandatory in the new year. Bovaire has also been approved for use in Canada for dairy cattle. The fight is far from over.
That makes me FURIOUS. We will #BoycottCanadaBovair
Bovaer
Big uproar in Australia at the moment over the Bovaer. Lots of people boycotting two of our 3 main grocery chains due to this disgusting contamination of our beef.
But the media are reassuring us that the FDA has approved it! Ha! They don’t even understand what a red flag that is.
#FightFightFIGHT
It won’t work this time. Blue States will try to use the Playbook but, too many are now awake.
Praying. Hope you are correct
Coffee and Ivermectin?
Proud horse paste user here
👎
I will not comply!
Coffee & Coughing. :)
“Coffee & Cruds” 😂 to encompass anything else coming down the pike?
So, you'd like "Coffee & Bird flu?"
No, it should be kept "Coffee & Covid" so we don't forget what they did to us.
No please! We need the reminder as they memory hole it.
Plus the fun part of the plandemic is yet to come. We'll be watching the fallout from covid - I'm looking forward many more lawsuits, DOGE firings as they get geared up, and even hopefully some people in jail.
I’m going to have to go with Chocolate and Childers. 😆
Nice! Coffee, Chocolate and Childers would work for me too!
Chocolate & Childers has my vote!😂
👎
The suggestion of a title change gets floated periodically, but usually falls flat. Although I like your Coffee and Childers moniker, those of us long time readers also see the value in keeping Covid in the picture, as a reminder of why it started and how far we’ve come. And as Jeff said this morning, it’s not unusual to see people wearing a mask, and sadly a large percentage of the population is still falling for the “get vaccinated” messaging, be it for covid or flu shot. Big Harma is still an immensely powerful force, and until we see significant signs of its fall, like no more commercials on TV, the fight is far from over. I’m still praying that RFK will be confirmed, and THEN that battles may truly be won and not just talked about. We have a long road ahead, and remembering what and why we’re fighting is critical.
“Covid” will mean so many things for a very, VERY long time. It’s becoming its own figure of speech in just one word. It’s powerful. It will take decades for that word to not hold deep meaning.
However, Coffee, Covid, and Cookies would be fun! 🤣 Low Carb Cookies of course! (I’ve become somewhat of a savant in making those … and they are delicious.)
Juju says: “ “Covid” will mean so many things for a very, VERY long time. It’s becoming its own figure of speech in just one word. It’s powerful. It will take decades for that word to not hold deep meaning.”
I agree with you Juju, and we should never forget the all the evils that one word, Covid, represents and the destruction it brought upon the world - intentionally by evil people without a trace of humanity in them.
Try low carb french almond cake. https://www.sweetashoney.co/keto-almond-cake/
Wonderful response…thanks!
Coffee, Covid, & Common Sense?
This was/ is going to be my response to the next time I am told I have to mask: " I can't as I have CS."
Stealing that one...
Cheers from Canuckistan, aka the 51st State... 😉
#MapleSyrupMaga
🇨🇦❤️🇺🇲
Maybe Coffee and Common Sense? Jeff is a gift!
I will never forget when they overplayed their hand and think no one else should.
Masks came off. Motives became clear. Never forget for me.
Coffee & Covid forever!
Nah, we need to stick with our roots and never forget!!! I say the title needs to always remain Coffee and Covid!
No, the fun part is yet to come. We'll be watching the fallout from covid - I'm looking forward many more lawsuits, DOGE firings as they get geared up, and even hopefully some people in jail.
Nope. Been there and done that. We need to remember why this started and the name is also well known.
Coffee and Clarity, Coffee and Community, Coffee and Constitution
Coffee and Circuses.
Never forget!! Keep it Coffee and Covid!
All that is needed is for good men to forget the past which led us here
Coffee & Covititis. . . . Sort of a catch-all description of any new bug weapon they launch at us.
Unfortunately, we have not left the 'Covidian Era' yet.
People are still getting 'Covid' boosters and wearing masks.
People still test for Covid, and they think they have it
whenever they catch a cold.
There may be many aware people on Substack,
but just over in Facebookland there is still a large
segment of the population that has not transitioned
to 'Narrative 2.0' yet. We still have a lot of work to do
to bring everyone into Team Reality.

Only half way through and have spit out my coffee three times…Ryan E Coyote, “would have gotten away with it, too,” and the spring lamb? Oh my gosh too darn cute. Thanks for the memories (so far), Jeff, especially the memories of Saturday morning cartoons…when they were actually funny and taught important life lessons 💗. Happy New and Jubilant New Year to One and ALL!
The spring lamb picture had me LOL so loud it woke my son. 🤣 so well placed I’m still giggling.
The "springing" lamb, yep. So astute.
I really hope he's not on Ozempic or facsimile though. Trump, X and lil x need him.
Same. This was exceptional in a long list of exceptional posts.
In addition to being funny & teaching important lessons, the old ones (Merry Melodies?) included actual cultured, symphonic music!
Yep. They were the best. Old cartoons were so more than just laughs and giggles; they snuck in classical music, like sneaking broccoli into mac and cheese or peas into mashed potatoes, and introduced us to timeless humor, moral lessons, and a sprinkle of social commentary (sans the woke variety). The beloved characters embodied virtues such as honesty and bravery, proving that even animated rabbits could teach us a thing or two about ethics. They provided imaginative worlds that fueled creativity, and the artistic talent behind them inspired future animators. Plus, they were a great excuse for family bonding on lazy Saturday mornings. So, hats off to those animated gems that made us laugh, think, and maybe even dream a little bigger. And hats off to Jeff, for these important reminders! 🐰🎶📚
Agree w/ all, Nard! I loved those old cartoons & they were still playing when my boys were growing so I made sure they were part of their lives as well. I absolutely loathe everything that’s come since!
Right? I bought old videos for my kids to watch when they were growing up (that tells you how old I am!). I think Disney’s Codfish Ball was among their favorites (how far Disney has fallen truly breaks my heart…).
We had all of the old Disney movies too. Fantasia was another wonderful classical music movie to expose kids covertly
Subtlety, what a concept!
Jeff - you are a light in the darkness - thanks for your amazing writing! All the best in 2025.
Jeff
I believe you deserve to be independent journalist of 2024 (of course also 2020,2021,2022,and 2023)
Your legal expertise helped us all understand so much of what we were fighting against and gave us HOPE. Your wit kept us from taking everything so seriously and also made us LAUGH daily 😂.
Your wisdom was always so powerful. I feel BLESSED to have experienced such insight from your work.
May God Bless you and your family and May God Bless 2025. May we all draw closer to the Lord and feel His presence in our lives.
Why didn't he deserve to be independent journalist of 2023?
Thanks for pointing that out to me
YW.
Lol. Oops. A mis type
🤗 Glad that's all it was.
I live in one of the reddest states but even here most people fell for the COVID scam hook, line and sinker. Even my own dad, who got the first jab but didn’t live to get the second follow-up shot. In 2020-2021 I was part of a homeschool group and we all drove 30 minutes to a small rural church that would allow us to have our co-op day without wearing masks. That group and the C&C blog gave me courage to stand up to the craziness. Sometimes we just need to know that we are not alone. So thank you, Jeff and thank you, C&C family! Praying blessings for you all in 2025!
Thank you for highlighting the dangers of Ozempic. I was one of those who should have known better but got taken in by the PR. The result was a year of pain and I am one of the lucky ones!

I’m glad you’re feeling better, Corrin.
Thanks for the link, I found that a very illuminating story. Congratulations on making it out of the woods a little wiser!
Thanks. It was a very long year!
I’m glad you’re on the road to recovery Corrin!
