Two federal indictments, fourteen thousand SNAP recipients in Maseratis, the petrodollar dying in less than a week, and a Google co-founder switching teams—just for starters. Massive good-news roundup
Elaine - indeed! But what isn’t cool and is incredibly sad is that our brothers no longer speak to us. They still believe all the lies - or they are too proud to admit they were duped. 😢
Thanks! Not a problem! We all post comments and then can't find them - the day is so full anyway! I posted a long one on the Lithium ore in NC - maybe I'll go find it and copy and paste tomorrow earlier in the day - no one will read it and it was important stuff - NC Governor posted a video stating that if a “natural” disaster “just happened” to destroy homes in the Appalachian area they would request the people not build back but let their property resort back to the state for “green space!” Three days later “geoengineered Hurricane Helene hit; reservoir waters were released on saturated and flooded areas and the whole place was decimated!
We had heard there was lithium but that fact was very downplayed.
Anyhoo - I may post again tomorrow!
I like thay you posted a “Happy Birthday to me!” post! Cute!
Mine was the 19th - knew I liked you for more reasons than the good / thoughtful posts! 😁
My brother's Bday is tomorrow (my older brother passed in 2022 - 63 years old. Sigh.
I did see the comment about the lithium, but I was also wondering if the mines were other places in Appalachia since it covers a big area. I guess we’ll have to wait and see but it’s definitely good to be aware and keep an eye on things!
I totally didn’t expect my post to turn into this huge thread!! 🤪😆 I am actually really touched that so many people responded to me with their kind wishes ❤️ I just was tickled by the wonderfully positive and uplifting post Jeff wrote that happened to be on my birthday! I had no plan to monopolize the comment section yesterday 😆 But it was fun to see how many others have April birthdays too!! A belated happy birthday to you also!! 🎂🎉 I am sorry about your brother, it is so sad when they are gone too soon 😞💔
Yes! The thread conversation was really touching! It was an unexpected gift for you! God does lovely things like that just because He loves His children! (we like to give good gifts - He is the ultimate GIFT Giver!)
Your conversation didn't dominate - it became a fellowship thread which blessed many! 😍
Especially with all this winning reported from our intrepid Attorney-in-Chief.
I am NOT getting tired of winning and am salivating at the prospect of criminals like comey, actblue Fraudsters, SPLCracist/fraudsters and so many more heading to indictments and jail cells.
86 that, bitch comey.
Oh, if you want more good news, then please also checkout The Huckabee Post with its well sourced news feed (and great humor/snark too):
All great news! Except for the Comey bit. I’m a 1st Amendment absolutist and that seashell case isn’t going to stick. That DOJ case is exhibit A, of “punishment is the process” and ‘red meat’ to emotionally driven folks on the right. Trump should find real evidence of malfeasance w/ Comey like has apparently been found for Fauci # 2, rather than trying to use James as proxy dot-connector to Cole Allen.
Well Matt, while we generally agree, I will tell you that you can't be an absolutist. You can't yell fire in a theater. Comey being in law enforcement (allegedly as I believe he acted a criminal more than law enforcer, seeing himself above the law)) at the highest level, yelled fire in a theater, as a fireman. He knew better, in his TDS state he posted it, realizing his mistake, he deleted the post, now he should get to pay the piper.
BTW, I do believe this is part of the comey, clapper, brennan, obama takedown, all connected.
Yes, Dan. It has to do with the Russia, Russia, Russia setup! A conspiracy against an elected gov. The shell display—Comey just couldn't stop himself, his ego convincing him that there was no risk, he was above it all: "Absolute power corrupts absolutely." We shall see—
Amen, much more coming for all of those treasonous criminals. They swore oaths to tge Constitution and then violated it in every conceivable way, to the point the country is damn near civil war.
Yeah, I'm just seeing the Comey case as weak sauce. The merits of '86 47' is not designed to 'win' the case but instead to occupy the airways. Perhaps this is warm up for something else.
Comey also knows exactly what those numbers mean, and IMO making the display and taking a photo and posting it implies malicious intent of riling up Trumps’s opposition. Other democrats were also doing the same thing, like Maxine Waters and Kathie Griffith.
The final nail though was actually deleting it even though there were already screen shots.
Well, posting a photo of numbers on the sea shore isn’t breaking any law that I’m aware of. To convict Comey, the DOJ will have to show that this picture was a “true threat” to Trump. It’s disgusting he posted that to Instagram, then took it down the same day. I’m still waiting for official report on what motivated Thomas Matthew Crooks to shoot Trump in the face. If Comey had something to do with that then we’re talking. Either Trump wants to bury the Crooks story because it isn’t politically helpful, or he’s holding it in reserve for just the right time. Which possibility do you think it is?
When hurricane Helene devastated NC, I saw discussion on the lithium deposits in the hills and Kamala Harris' husband owning land there and the stall to allow people to rebuild so land could be cheaply purchased, similar to Maui and CA. Make the people.move on. Has there been any more discussion on this? Or was it all theory?
I am too. However, I see 2 things that could be occurring. Either Comey is a "double agent" and they have to make it appear that way (He did help sway the 2016 election when he said he was looking at the Clinton emails)
Or, he really is a bad guy and was sending a message to the deep state to kill Trump.
There is a reason they are going after Comey and not Madonna who wanted to blow up the White House or the red headed comedian that posted a photo of Trump severed head. In my view, they did the same thing Comey did, but if Comey's was an order, then that is a different story.
Comey didn't have to 'order' anything. He was head of the FBI, America's premier law enforcement agency. A mere hint from him was all that would be needed to persuade weak-minded individuals to act. Madonna and Griffin were never in positions of authority like Comey. I will never be convinced that Comey wasn't encouraging someone, anyone, to 86 the president of the US. That, my friend, borders on treason.
Me thinks this is evidence that both sides can find sympathetic grand jury's. Looks from the video like Tulsi is being a good soldier and carrying water for the boss. I used to work in restaurants and 86 meant we were out of a particular food item. In Comey's case, 86 can be argued it meant to remove Trump from office by the 25th Amendment, and not by assassination. I'm a 3x Trump voter and just try my best to use critical thinking in this age of social media.
I have used that term for decades as a result of my restaurant work. So Of course I see your point, and at first thought that was what Comey meant - simply to get rid of “that guy.” It’s too much of a stretch for me, given his history, to think that he meant via the 25A.
I also see your point about free speech. I wonder how the “yelling fire in a crowded theater” argument might hold up. Or maybe free speech will not be argued by the prosecution, who knows.
What is notable about what TG says is that it is well known among those in the criminal underworld use that lingo for ensuring the end of life for a perceived enemy or traitor. She goes on to point out that there is no credible way he wouldn’t know this given his long experience with that criminal world. And clearly the grand jury thought something was terribly wrong with his efforts and we don’t know what evidence they saw.
I have watched Tulsi since before she left the Dems. If she didn’t believe what she said, she would have found a way not to be saying what she said in public. That said, loyalty to the CoC is paramount in any administration and this team displays it publicly, smartly. It does ruffle my feathers a bit, but then I have worked (and failed) in highly politicized environments so I get it.
At any rate, I am thrilled Comey has to defend himself and spend a lot of money to do so, after the way he turned so many lives upside down with his treachery.
Exactly FH! We can speculate all day about whether or not he will actually have to spend any time in jail, kind of a waste of time really( the speculation , not the potential jail time).What we can comment on and be happy about is that he has to spend his time, and money, combined with most likely some stress for him and his family over this grand jury indictment.
Our friend on X @theVivaFrei has an interesting analysis of Comey’s legal problems and provides context others have missed. Frei explains:
People are either unaware of, or ignoring the context of Comey’s Instagram post. It was not a “one-off”. It was actually the second in a series of three posts, all of which were connected, self-referential, and clearly deliberately so.
Post 1: Comey at the beach, reading his new book, FDR Drive (image attached).
Post 2: 8647 in shells.
Post 3: The summary of his new book which he is reading in Post 1. That summary:
“Garcia believes Buchanan went far beyond the protection of the first amendment when *he singled out his enemies by name* and *suggested “something should be done” about them*. His fans have obliged, killing or grievously, injuring some of his foes.”
Comey is telling you exactly what he is doing.
Reading his book. Singling out his enemies by name (as close as he can get) - 47 for Trump.
Suggesting “something should be done about them” - 86 for kill or eliminate.
And “his fans have obliged” from his book description that he posted.
This analysis also explains why the indictment seeks forfeiture of “property, real or personal, which constitutes or is derived from proceeds traceable to the said offense.” DOJ apparently believes Comey’s coded message “took a page out of his new book,” and promoted its sales.
No Right, however UNalienable, can be used as an excuse to trespass upon the Rights of another.
Our 51 State Constitution often make this more clear that the Constitution of our federation of States. One example:
California Constitution - Article I, Section 2 (a):
"Every person may freely speak, write and publish his or her sentiments on all subjects, being responsible for the abuse of this right. A law may not restrain or abridge liberty of speech or press. "
In these United States, since the founding, the exercise of "freedom of speech" never covered libel, slander, public profanity or obscenity, nor incitement to violence.
Similarly ,the 2nd Amendment does not allow one to brandish a weapon at someone, nor to use it to infringe upon anyone else's Rights.
Hope this helps clear up an increasingly common misunderstanding.
Mike H used to write it, his son has taken over for him since Mike became Ambassador to Israel. In this case, its a good thing the apple didn't fall far from the tree.
Happy Birthday to all my fellow bull headed Taurus peeps! Mine is on Friday! Quick little story: I was born in Venezuela many many years ago and my birthday fell on May 1st, International Workers Day. In Venezuela, like in many countries, that meant military parades, etc. I was 6 before I found out the parades weren’t for my birthday! My dad was quite the jokester!
(For those who don’t know here’s the definition “A Third Culture Kid is defined as a person who has spent a significant part of their developmental years in a culture different from their parents' culture or their passport country.”)
Born on May 21, on the cusp of Taurus and Gemini, I always considered myself more Taurus; but I’m told that’s not correct. So I just tell people that the influence of the Taurus bull and the Gemini twins, just makes me twice as bull-headed as others.
My grandson turned four the first year that I was awarded custody of him. His birthday is July 4th, so I took him to see the fireworks. A few minutes after they started, he looked up at me with a huge smile and said, "Thank you, Granny, thank you!" He thought I had arranged them just for his birthday! It was so sweet. And he is still as sweet, and 14 this year! Egads! 😆
Sweet story, I love it and yep, your dad was pretty special. On May Day we made paper cones with handles, filled them with flowers and hung them on our neighbor's door knobs. It was fun!
I agree. A few years ago I delivered Easter treats to a few of mom and dad’s neighbors in their retirement community. I wish I had taken more. It was a last minute thing.
Mom was actually born on Easter. Maybe that was the tradeoff for also being born on April Fools day, lol!
And I saw another angel flying in midheaven, having an eternal gospel to preach to those who live on the earth, and to every nation and tribe and tongue and people; and he said with a loud voice, “Fear God, and give Him glory, because the hour of His judgment has come; worship Him who made the heaven and the earth and sea and springs of waters.”
And remember Benjamin Franklin's famous quote, "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."
And they WONT HAVE EITHER. FREEDOM IS SCARY, DEAL WITH IT.
We follow this civil rights lawyer guy on YouTube tube. He mostly reports on local issues in W.Va.. some of these cops are just freaks. And I support the blue. I guess hiring and training techniques in that state leave a bit to be desired. Yikes.
I heard Trump was entertaining the notion of changing ICE officers official name of NICE. Just so that the media would be compelled to call them NICE officers. That would be truly quintessential Trump. Aww, c'mon, its funny...
Sigh. Bet you consider Trump supporters as somehow intellectually challenged? I chose to follow Yeshua and accept the Judeo-christiandoctrine teachings in the Hebrew Bible. That necessarily implies I reject any doctrine that contradicts my belief. I most definitely support any/all ppl chosing a path that works best for them. We dont have to agree.
It's their hypocrisy that really sets me off. They actually virtue-signal how they support the American slaughtering of little Iranian girls in the name of God!
I can agree with you, Phil, that these "loving Christians" are some of the most insulting and nasty people I have met on any Substack. They delight in attacking others here, often with foul language. They blow their own cover.
Christians they are not. They just usurp that term. Then twist it.
ALL prophecy has not been fulfilled but is being fulfilled during these days. IF all had been fulfilled, we would not be in this spiritual war we are in. The destroyer would be bound and YESHUA would be in charge for the thousand years..the destroyer let free for a time and the books open and all will be judged. GOD is fulfilling HIS promises of exposing things done in the dark to the light which is truth. Let HIM do HIS works. Give HIM the honor, praise, glory and gratitude HE so rightly deserves. Put HIM first and live like HE has given us instruction to live.
A father in Minab, Iran received a phone call from his daughter’s school on the morning of February 28. There had been an explosion. His daughter was alive. “Come get her.” Before he could reach her, the school was hit again. She was killed.
The principal of Shajareh Tayyebeh Elementary School had moved surviving children into a prayer room after the first strike collapsed the roof. She called parents. “Come now.” The second strike hit the prayer room. According to the mayor of Minab and Iran’s Ministry of Education, a third strike followed.
168 people died. Children. Teachers. Four parents who came to pick up their kids. The school was painted bright blue and pink with sports fields drawn on the asphalt. It was visually, unmistakably, a school.
The U.S. military did this. Not allegedly. Not according to Iranian state media. According to The New York Times, The Washington Post, NPR, CBC, BBC Verify, Bellingcat, Amnesty International, and Human Rights Watch. According to the Pentagon’s own internal investigation. According to footage showing a U.S. Tomahawk cruise missile striking the site. Tomahawks are used exclusively by U.S. forces in this conflict.

Prof. Seyed M. Marandi: “It’s not just murdering little girls at school and blaming the Iranians. What Trump did was: he tried to say that Iran fired Tomahawk missiles at their own school. And Western media didn’t care. They don’t care. And these are the same lies that we hear about Iran for the last 47 years.”

Do not support war crimes, Lisa. You're better than that. We all are. 🙏🏻
Why are you triggered... do YOU support the intentional targeting of the Iranian girl's school? And his unprovoked and illegal war on Iran? You are not stupid enough to believe that Iran was weeks away from building a nuke... are you?
And... Do you support Trump's praise and funding of Israel's genocide in Gaza and Lebanon? Some est 600,000 innocents murdered?
But genocide! What a bunch of things less than men. Not sure what you are, but manly doesn’t work to describe either if you fops. Faggoty is closer. You both sound like 12 years ago old schoolgirls. What Islam did to Israel, on 7 October, they should have plowed the whole fucking mess into the sea. They didn’t, but they should have. And Hamas, they are all Hamas. Women and children first. 600 k innocents killed? You fucking make up numbers some dope told you? You do realize there wasn’t one innocent In Gaza. Not even the children are innocent after three years of age. I’ll laugh when both of you fops are getting butt fucked by some Islamic pig you invite into your home.
Well one thing is sure -- that no man knows the hour or the day of the messiah's return. We live with expectancy, keeping our lamps filled and living each day with the knowledge that the Lord is in charge.
Neener - Someone told me it’s a bot (perhaps from the UK with its spelling of behaviour.) It needs to correct its English, however - it should be “no difference”, not “no different.” Not sure how those work. LOL
Boo. Whoever you are, “A”, know this: you WILL stand before the judgment seat of Christ one day, you WILL bow the knee to Him, and you WILL confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, whether you want to or not. Philippians 2:9-11, the Word of GOD.
Margot, whoever you are, I have tried several times to explain reality to you, but you seldom take off your judgmental cultist blinkers and think about it.
I suspect it is more likely that God is going to have to have a little talk with you in the afterlife, Margot, than with me. He does not like your behaviour or attitudes. The attacks on other people by you and your fellow cultists really ticks him off. This is the antithesis of Christ-like behaviour.
Shape up! You never seem to learn. You just come back virtue-signaling once again, as cover.
Margot, God is watching you, Be very careful. Open your eyes and become a decent person. Stop your self-righteous con-artistry. Many of us have had enough of it here.
You are no different than the WOKE-folk, or the followers of various religious cults. Frankly, with most of these groups, their minds were fried. And they have the Margot-like audacity to shake their fingers at normal persons.
Margot, go take a time-out and REALLY think about your unacceptable behaviour, and how you are going to improve. Leave the cult, for starters.
neener replied to your comment on ☕️ HAPPENINGS ☙ Wednesday, April 29, 2026 ☙ C&C NEWS 🦠.
Everybody has one, but that doesn't mean you have to BE one. We all know now what the A. stands for!
REPLY
Now what a kindly loving Christian response that was, my friend. You are simply proving that this herd camped on this Substack is not really practicing Christianity, but cult-ism. I notice how quick you all are to attack anyone who does not go along with your groupthink narrative 100%. The claws certainly come out. No different in your behaviour than the WOKE.
Wow, what a thread. This guy or gal is a shit stirrer. I'm beginning to think he is an AI bot designed solely to degrade a forum. The fact that "it" immediately attacked Janice demonstrates it's tactic. Otherwise, there is no logical reason to attack Janice's comment.
Edit: I spoke too quickly. Apparently, A. is a woman. From the sound of her comments, most likely a PhD or some other high level of education. As is typical of PhDs, she exhibits a narcissistic superiority and fails utterly to even understand how she comes across. Finally, and this is also typical, she exhibits a active disdain for the Christian faith. For people like that, it is their mission in life to ridicule Christianity at every opportunity. Thus the reply to Janice.
Bot or PhD, it doesn't much matter. Simply ignoring it is the only proper response.
Never claimed to be much of a Christian, certainly not democratic in any form. But to attack Janice,you throw about insults meant to enrage, then act holier than thou when someone like myself, who has no time for democratic bullshit, calls you out on it. What a disgusting waste of humanity, that was given to you.
Glad you admit the obvious -- that neither are you a Christian nor democratic. And you are not much of a decent person either. In fact, you displayed zero decency in this rant of yours.
So I am not allowed to state the truth here against what the cultists are saying? I never see you question them when they spout inanities. Or when they attack others for failing to agree with them. What kind of person are you, Alan?
Me....acting holier than thou? I think you mean the Holy Poseurs on this site. You are really sure that Janice is godly simply because she cuts and pastes Scripture quotes daily here, in order to sell her book? She behaves like a lot of fraudsters I know of. This is a common con-artistry trick. Are you so naive you do not spot it? This is a general news site. Why is she posting this material daily? We can all look it up ourselves if we are interested, Frankly, I do not trust Janice's motives. But she counts on the fact that most people will fall for the Scripture-lady routine.
Now run along and examine your conscience, Alan. You have been quite a bad boy here today. You need to apologize and repent.
Almost every comment you make contains abuse. It gets VERY old.
Yesterday's blog also contained MANY comments on how to block abusive comments. Those who need to learn how to block abusive commenters should go back and re-read the instructions.
No, you are wrong. Most comments I make contain generous and valuable information about the answers from my field which will assist in bringing society back to normal. Though perhaps your reading comprehension is low.
And you have the gall to try to stop this by defaming me? I will report you if you continue harassing me here, Which is all you seem to know how to do. I have seen no posts of value from you or your sort. You use this as a chit-chat forum and to encourage your vacuous groupthink. As your own profile says: "Nothing important".
Be careful how you proceed. Do not attack me again. Fair warning.
You shure like stirring chit. It appears you are always looking for a bone to chew on. "Almost every comment you make contains abuse" : truth said by a commenter. And they always contain a big judgement on people and on their intrinsic value.
And all that « name dropping » you do is so annoying. And the constant lecturing of us poor ill-informed souls. And then you throw in all your "impressive" credentials, as if it makes what you say more true.
It does not.
You have opinions and bits of usefull infos, you don’t have the absolute truth. But you pretend you do and this is not even comical.
Many people here have degrees too, you know, and much life experience, but they do not need to brag about it. And most on this « curious substack » have very interesting things to share with this community.
If you don’t like what you read here, why don’t you just stay away? Why do you persist? May be you are really a BOT instructed with nefarious goals.
Or stay humble if you can and speak with your heart.
That was a whole load of projection from you, my friend. I sense you are very envious. I only had to read your profile and the pseudonym you give yourself to realize what your game is. As in:
"Ph.D., I read people who search for the truth and try to enlighten us during this difficult time. Life and Love will prevail."
That was a lot of vague nonsense. Where is all that Light and Love you promise? Not here....
And you boast at the drop of a hat. It's what you are all about. You are just ticked-off that I can actually discuss and debate at the highest levels. Though I rarely see you doing anything but making catty remarks about others. You offer little or nothing worthwhile here. And you are in a rage because some of us do! You need to learn to control yourself. Some good therapy might assist you there.
Name-dropping? You should know references from name-dropping, unless you are a phony Ph.D. Which I rather suspect. Because you give no evidence of being able to discuss the deeper issues at that level. But you insult others with aplomb! You are more like the religious extremist cult group members here.
You know, that is exactly what we need to be asking you. I will repeat. If you don’t like what you read here, why don’t you just stay away? Why do you persist?
Just back away slowly, J. No one will miss you. You do not contribute anything worthwhile. We won't even notice, Though you will lose your forum for making your chronic insults I realize. Maybe you use this site for therapy, instead of a punching bag. H-m-m? Try a good gym. Or Primal Scream Therapy. We are not here for you to take out your problems on.
You are an embittered person, seemingly filled with hatred for your fellow human beings. I sincerely pity you. I wish you the love you need to heal your heart.
Surprised that Sergey Brin's ex-wife, Nichole Shanahan isn't mentioned. She was also a solid liberal until her son was vaccine-injured. Her investigation into vaccine safety triggered a complete re-evaluation of her beliefs, and contributed to her divorce from Sergey. She had a great interview on Beth Stuckey's podcast where she states that she has also moved from abortion advocate to much more pro-life.
WOW JUST WOW ON THAT. I am in tears listening to how babies are killed in the womb. Gill made that horrible woman so uncomfortable she would not look at him and kept chanting the same sentence. Those seeking abortions via informed consent must be told how their baby will be killed. It is a horror story.
I fully agree... and the mass murderers that committed their appalling genocide in Gaza and Lebanon, including those who supported and funded it... are so vile and evil.
Those that started an unprovoked and illegal war on Iran, with so many thousands more innocent lives destroyed... ditto.
Genocide is defined as trying to wipe out an entire people group. It's not happening in Gaza or Lebanon.
While I don't necessarily agree with President Trump's actions in Iran, it is in fact legal under US law. Between their official stance of wanting to destroy the US, and their stockpiles of enriched Uranium, I think a decent case can be made that action was warranted.
Now, why don't you talk about the real genocides of the Armenians, the Jews and the Tutsis of Rwanda?
And talk about the historical wars the killed millions of people.
I will be blocking you after today, so when you don't see me respond anymore, it will be because I don't see you. I'm too busy tilting at windmills on X to deal with it here too.
In Minnesota full term abortions are allowed & allegedly these still living babies are not given palliative care. I don’t have the stomach to do a deeper dive into this murderous barbaric crime against humanity to confirm the allegations. Especially after listening to Brenden Gill disclosing the procedures.
Abortions are horrific and barbaric in the least but full-term abortions reach a level of evil personified I would not be surprised if actual, biblical demons were the ones performing them. As a supposedly civilized, 1st world country the USA should ban them as crimes against humanity.
Isn't it amazing how the ACTUALS beat the NARRATIVES over the head with ball peen hammers?
How the REALITY and Truths of the Matter vs the ILLUSION and parroted talking points clears one's vision?
NO ONE can walk away from that particular Senate hearing citing "reproductive health" measures when it comes to the liberal salivation of abortion up to birth, and then even after!
Remember when [they] had free abortions and snippings in rolling "clinic mobiles" outside a conservative event? And Jackasses actually used them!!
It was outside the DNC Convention, while they were proclaiming a “A season of joy” while they had a vasectomy clinic and an abortion clinic parked right outside as Kameltoe Harris was inside, drunk as a skunk trying to ‘gin up’ the joy.
Not sure if you’re aware how to make corrections. But you can go to the three dots under your post and an edit button should pop up and you can change the word to democrat.
Yes, Unwoke in Idaho, I recently saw that clip. I enjoy watching Brandon Gill. He asks excellent questions and his demeanor is so calm and matter of fact. To me, that has so much more impact than the ridiculous Congress members that yell.
Her daughter is injured. Plus Nicole herself suffered a vaccine injury and nearly died during a late stage pregnancy miscarriage while she was running for VP with Bobby Kennedy.
Was baptized after that.
A very good interview.
She was also podcasting on Youtube. Hosted some interesting people. Abruptly stopped about 5 months ago. Not sure why.
Why any woman would have willingly taken any vaccine or pseudo-vaccine during pregnancy is beyond me. I wouldn't even drink coffee in pregnancy. The results of drugs on the fetus are well known.
The sooner they can injure a child, the easier it is to distract the vaxxers that the vaccines are the problem. That’s why there is such a push for the hep b vaccine to be given at birth.
I never trusted every doctor. I did my own homework first. Because I know that medical mistakes are rampant. And it is not the doctor who pays the price if it happens.
It simply went against all common sense to take a drug (untested) during pregnancy! Too many people lost their minds.
And that is not even getting into the harm caused by women who drink during pregnancy and whose babies are born with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. Which is rampant is some places.
I gave up my favorite food, potatoes, during my second pregnancy, since I read that potato blight caused birth defects, and I had no idea how to recognize potato blight.
She has been a huge boon to the pro life movement, and to antivax. I don't know what is up with her. Praying she is ok. Maybe all the prayer warriors in C&C can add her to our morning prayers. Lift her up. We all need to support people like her. Praying is a great way to get that started.
OK, here is something I am going to mention, seeing as we are talking about injuries to children. Even unintended injuries.
Not many people know about the human Attachment System of the brain, and that properly activating that Attachment System by the mother or caregiver in infancy and early childhood is crucial to the child's wellbeing. Unsuccessful Attachment can follow them for life.
I am not referring to the recent internet craze of figuring out your "Attachment style". Like you talk about your zodiac sign. Just a lot of silliness there.
I am talking about real Attachment issues. From the John Bowlby Theory of the 60s.
I will add that it is Attachment loss in the first three years, due to either abuse/neglect, or separation of mother and child, or Attachment loss in an otherwise very caring mother -- that can lead to such adult issues as addiction or the Cluster-B Personality Disorders. Depending on the resilience of the child and/or healing experiences afterwards.
In the 90s and early 2000s, there was a spate of adoptions by Americans of children in the orphanages of former Eastern Communist countries. Everyone seemed to believe that plenty of love in a real family would do the trick in healing these children of their prior neglect.
Not necessarily so. A number of them already had RAD -- Reactive Attachment Disorders -- due to early separation from the mother combined with neglect in these orphanages.
In other words, a whole group of potential pathological Narcissists and Psychopaths were introduced to society in these poor children. They certainly did not ask for these troubles. But unfortunately for the children and the adoptive parents, this is what happens too often under those circumstances. When there is serious Attachment System loss.
I will not leave it there without mentioning Therapeutic Parenting. Which was developed by both Daniel Hughes (PACE Program) and Terry Levy (ATTACH Organization).
Miracles might still be performed by parents willing and able to use these specific methods in raising these troubled children.
Do they? Could be. I have never looked into this condition in dogs. Though once upon a time I had the MOST anxious terrier imaginable. And I always wondered if they took her away from her mother too early.
Nature builds in very important processes to the mother-child bond.
Agreed, but she was running for vice president of the United States at one point and was very vocal about a lot of things in the tech industry and now nothing
It is good that such extremists finally awaken (often when they hit rock bottom), and we should hope that many more extremists on both the far-leftwing and far-rightwing awaken.
However, I tend to trust the always-balanced individuals far more than I trust the recent converts, who did not see the light until they were forced.
Frequently they just use this attention-getting tactic to launch a new and dramatic podcast or Substack. It pulls in the punters. I would believe them more if they were humble about it. When they are not, I smell a rat.
I recall that Michael Shellenberger used this "I am a Convert!!" routine to launch his media career. I paid annual fees for his Substack. Two weeks later, he banned me and kept the money. Because I disagreed with him once. He was a nasty sort. Now, I would not trust him as far as I could throw him. Manipulative type. Gives you what he thinks you want to hear, then you must reflect it back to him. Or else.
Yes, Comey is a human weasel, maybe worse. And I just read that a judge in NC has ordered the US Marshalls to arrest him. Actually find and arrest him. Then there is still the big RICO case in FL in his future. It's finally happening.
And if nothing else, as Jeff says, "the process is the punishment" ... and this time the 'process' has been fully crafted to deliver ever more concrete results.
He should, just to give the Left some of their own medicine but of course he won’t. We at least try to do things the way they should be done. I will never get over Peter Navarro being arrested and shackled at the airport. It was absolutely disgusting behavior by the Biden administration - just one example of so many.
You can’t boil the ocean at one time, you boil it at a bucket at a time. They also need to get some quick prosecutions and low hanging fruit will bare some good results and quiet the naysayers.
About Comey and doubts about his credibility regarding what those first two numbers mean, Tulsi does a great job sharing her view, last year, in this short clip that Amuse posted on X yesterday
Not so sure if that lithium vein is good news for Appalachians. Its been well known for a long time now, it wasn’t just discovered. Too bad the App mountain people live on it. They will need to get them to move and give up their land to mine the lithium. Maybe a once in a millenium hurricane causing utter devastation would drive them off their land. Seems like that was tried once.
How about, instead of automatically assuming the worst thing will happen, we think for a minute that technology may have progressed to a point where there won’t be massive disruption of residents? Look how fracking has changed the oil business. I don’t know anything, but it’s definitely a possibility.
And even if they can find a way I pray their families get royalties for ever bit mined. They DO own the land, so … like those who find oil on their lands
"Living near fracking sites causes significant health, environmental, and quality-of-life harms to neighbors, including respiratory issues (coughing, wheezing), cancer risks, birth defects, and psychological stress. Local communities face air pollution from chemicals like benzene, intense noise, vibrations, and traffic, alongside potential groundwater contamination.
University of Colorado Anschutz
Key Harms to Neighbors
Health Issues: Residents near fracking sites report increased incidences of headaches, nausea, nosebleeds, asthma, and skin rashes. Studies show an increased risk of preterm birth and low birth weight in infants born to mothers living near wells, which are leading causes of infant death.
Air and Water Contamination: Hazardous air pollutants (benzene, formaldehyde) and diesel emissions from trucks, equipment, and flaring degrade air quality. Leaking wells or improper waste disposal can contaminate local well water.
Noise and Vibration: Around-the-clock drilling operations, heavy truck traffic, and machinery create constant noise and vibrations, disrupting sleep and reducing quality of life.
Community and Social Disruption: Increased traffic, damage to roads, light pollution, and strain on local resources (hospitals, schools) are common.
Property and Financial Risks: Homes with private water wells located near fracking sites can experience a decrease in property value. Some landowners may face challenges with mortgages due to split-estate scenarios.
Nice idea, but human nature is unchanged over a millennium. Greed and evil will make their run at taking the land. Already have the first time, if you ask me.
All over the country and in Canada, people and organizations with money manipulate laws to take land cheap. Sinner or later, they try.
YES! There were theories circulating that the floods were allowed to happen and the disaster response was so pathetic just BECAUSE they want to displace these people in order to get to the lithium. Not to mention the environmental disaster that lithium mines can produce. Definitely not excited about the prospects for people whose land is going to be destroyed. I am a solid fiscal conservative, but also a tree hugger of sorts and not a huge fan of this.
You think Joey wanted to be able to mine the lithium? Since when has any democrat wanted to exploit mineral resources as opposed to locking them in the ground forever.
Sibelco is an international mining company operating in the small town of Spruce Pine, Mitchell County, NC that is also a major employer in the area. The company buys up large tracts of land and strips the land of lithium, quartz, feldspar, and uraninite. I’ve been told the spent bottom sedimentation contains a large amount of fluoride and forever chemicals. There is concern chemicals used in the operations can poison waterways and water sources. Plus, the sound of the heavy equipment from the operation is noise pollution to nearby land owners. These are large scale operations that can quickly devalue your property if they start mining nearby.
There’s lithium in the desert in Nevada, and future mining was shut down, maybe even before it started due to a wildflower. Not sure what the status is.
I recently read that a new kind of battery is being developed for electric cars that is much superior to what exists now, and it apparently uses silver. The technology would work in other batteries, too. Seems like it would be expensive.
It's doubled in the last year. I hear there's not enough to cover futures contracts and the ownership rights of those who didn't take physical delivery of their investments.
Same worries here. It’s definitely there, just not sure it’s going to be a good thing for Appalachians. First, can we mine it safely, second can the locals still live there safely and third can it be done without trashing the whole area?
While I don’t consider myself a tree hugging greenie, I am definitely a cautious adult who wants us to be good stewards of the land and communities.
And now having typed that, I expect that Trump has a plan for that too. 🙏🏻🤔
Mining and extracting lithium is pretty dirty business. I would imagine the people will have to get out of the way of that business. Hopefully, they get paid really well to be forced out. I don't know if Trump has a plan but the mining companies sure do.
Areas in north Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina were hit by Helene, some areas harder than others. The Appalachians stretch from central Alabama all the way to Maine... Not sure where the exact area is they are zeroing in on. There was a great deal of talk about large amounts of mineral deposits in the areas in NC hit hardest by Helene during that catastrophe. Would not be the least surprised to find out it was planned....
Nope, they lived in tents all winter. Truck loads of donations coming in daily, volunteers rebuilding roads and bridges. Eric Church building them new houses
Kind of came to say the same thing. Hurricane Helene which took that mysterious left turn to head straight north into the heart of the southern North Carolina mountains causing immense devastation, was immediately proposed to be geo engineered to get land cheap for developers of guess what….lithium, that was well known by many. Over a year and a half now.
They’ve known about this vein of lithium for years. After the horrific floods in WNC, the land grab was on, just like after the Palisades fire. Corporations swooped in and started buying up property. I just hope that this doesn’t go sideways. Unfortunately, I have very little trust in the state governments to not let this get out of hand.
There's a theory hurricane Helene was intended to clean out the rabble so big corps could waltz in and scoop the land up for bargain basement prices. That happened to a degree but Appalachian rabble are a stubborn breed, so now it looks like the "new" announcement indicates they have a new plan. I won't be surprised if an eminent domain attempt is on the horizon.
You people! Every silver lining has a dark cloud, right? This take on a positive news story says more about you and your cramped, conspiratorial world view than the actual news.
I’m sure when the racist pedophilic senilities handlers moved those people off their land and beyond slow walked help to the hurricane victims, they weren’t thinking about getting the lithium out, but instead locking it up as federal land forever.
I thought the same John. Many of these folk and their families have lived there for generations. It will be tricky. Plus all the flora and fauna that is likely disrupted. It's a blessing and a curse.
If it is their land, think how wealthy they become. Let them buy up some of those repo luxury cars and maybe a foreclosed home once the Fed takes it from the fraudsters.
More than one person has wondered whether any Hurricane Helene re-directing was aimed at the Appalachian lithium mine areas to clear out the inhabitants.
Remember, kids, if you attack DOCTOR Fauci, you are attacking science; and and as we now know you are also attacking one of the biggest frauds in our history.
"Comey enthusiastically told an NPR interviewer that the book’s central themes were free speech and “what happens when someone’s words incite violence.” The protagonist, federal prosecutor Nora Carleton, investigates whether the podcaster can be held criminally accountable for violence committed by his followers."
I'll have to read Comey's book after I finish "If I Did It" by Orenthal James Simpson.
He just wrote a book about his own party. The Demoncrats. So, I guess they need to be held criminally accountable for inciting violence and assassinations.
The SNAP abuse is simple but clear proof the need to take a chainsaw to the federal government. The question is no longer " are some people not doing their job". It is " Is ANYONE doing their job?"
I sit here amazed at that story. It took three years for our son to be approved for social security disability benefits. Every day I thank God for that help in the cost of supporting him as it drained our entire savings taking care of him, but the monthly aid is not that much, ($1300/mo,) and they keep back $200/month for Medicare even though he remains covered by my husband’s insurance. They told us he qualified for SNAP benefits too, and that we would be behaving financially foolish if we didn’t take the benefits. On one hand I understood the financial wisdom of that, because it’s still a tiny drain on our own resources, and we WOULD like to save for him somehow for the days we are no longer here, but I never took the aid because he lives with his parents and we ARE able to supplement his aid and afford food for him. It didn’t feel right to use SNAP when there are people out there in his position with less resources and no one to help. So we chose to pass on it. It was a difficult choice, maybe not a smart one to those more wealthy than we are, but it just didn’t feel right. Now if there were an additional benefit for clothing or medical that didn’t cost money out of his check we might use something like that. But this is specifically for food, and we are able to share our food.
I can’t get my head around owning a Porsche and using SNAP. I mean, my son’s car is an old entry-level Audi, but it was purchased long ago before he became fully disabled. The government allows him one car, and it is the only asset he owns to this day, depreciating as the clock ticks. (I think the book value on my son’s Audi is $12,000. 🤣) So I can see how there are circumstances where someone might own a nice car and need aid, BUT - not one worth $100,000 or more! We would have sold THAT and downgraded to one that costs around $25,000 tops. But still people see “Audi” and imagine luxury (he took good care of it so it is nice looking.)
So yeah, there may be cases where you can’t judge the book by the cover, but not THAT many cases, or with such expensive vehicles!
Juju, THESE LUXURY CARS are the sign you've needed to behold: Take the legal benefit, and set aside whatever savings it allows. Take it before it is stolen.
You can bet "the govern-ment" is not going to suddenly grow a heart of care for your son after you are gone. Do your best. God sees. May He bless you and your family.
Long ago, Joe Sobran (R.I.P.) suggested a revolutionary voting reform to require voters in government elections demonstrate they were NOT receiving benefits from the government holding the election, on simple conflict of interest principles.
He went on to add that "It will also speed up the election process considerably since me and the other guy not receiving any benefits could cast our votes pretty quick."
My father was firmly in your camp, as were his dad and grand-dad. However, he gradually came to the conclusion that "THEY are DETERMINED to WASTE it however they may, and I will at least spend it more WISELY than they are, so he lined up and signed up for every legal benefit he was entitled to.
YOU will spend it more wisely than they have been. Please.
Alright. I added it to my “To-Do” list to look into it again, but contacting them for ANYthing is a months-long trial chamber of horrors. Lol
It would be nice to save more of his money for his future. As it is he pretty much goes through his entire monthly check and can’t save anything. This would help with that. I worry about his future.
I don’t like that he loses $200/mo for Medicare either when he is covered under my husband’s insurance since he is fully disabled. I’ve been meaning to call and cancel that because it’s $2400/year we could place in savings for him. But last week he ended up with emergency surgery to have his appendix out. I wonder if his out of pocket 20% under my husband’s insurance would have exceeded $2400? I must admit it feels good knowing that the entire thing is paid for complete. We don’t have co-insurance for ourselves so always have medical bills we owe. So this is nice.
We settled on Medigap insurance to cover the 80% [80%!!!, I must have been sleep-walking: That IS 20%] that Medicare doesn't pay. And we DO have an annual deductible, but the cost to buy "insurance" that includes that costs more than the deductible itself. We decided to eat it.
I suspect Medicare's $200/mo for duplicate (non-)coverage is in the way of clawing back anywhere they can to try to keep it solvent. Yes, yes, by all means, do whatever you can to leave as large a legacy for him as you can. Turning that $12,000 auto into a Roth mutual fund IRA might be a way to go. but #i'mnomarketseer
I'm sure there are tens of thousands of stories from decent hardworking people like you who are , or at least should be enraged at this and all the other medicaid , covid, and DEI fraud/ theft. My dad as a WWII vet took 2 years and a job offer to get permissions to emigrate to the US. A departed friend who had progressive degenerative MS took over 2 years to get disability approved. I qualified but never took Unemployment benefits. And yet these bolshevik satanist monsters are still leaving people like you, and vets, memory holed while they let proven criminals milk the system we are paying for every day. Way past time for a reckoning.
Yes the average monthly benefit that illegal aliens get is twice what my legal citizen son gets. And they didn’t have to go through three years of torturous, anxiety ridden red tape to get it, but maybe a couple days at most. It’s quite anger inducing.
Then those who the system paid handsomely with endless nonstop government income in return for their votes and loyalty. It’s all hard to accept, and why we just put our heads down and say “I trust you Lord Jesus, to take care of my needs today as you do the sparrow.”
And …. vote for those that want to end the imbalance and grift.
That’s funny. I think most people think of the Audi S7 or S8 when they see an Audi. And they ARE beautifully made. They forget there are A3s and A4s 🤣 that are just a step above an Acura. Lol
But they didn’t shed a tear for ALL the tens of THOUSANDS (probably way more,) of people who lost their jobs or military positions because they refused to be jabbed. They all faced the same circumstances, but even worse became social outcasts because of their choices. But noooo, THESE six or seven people are meant to pull at our heartstrings??
You certainly get around, Yuri. But I'm afraid you are going to have to duke it out with Janice Powell for top position via upvotes on this site. Her tool is to use cut-and-paste Scripture quotes. She's selling her book, you are selling your Substack. But she has a herd of religious extremists behind her here. They all act as one hive-mind. As these groups always do.
I am a balanced Christian, Carolyn. I have known balanced Christians all my life. But this group knocked me over -- what is this strange behaviour and these odd attitudes?
This is not Christianity, Notice the way these herd members attack anyone who does not mimic their groupthink narrative. They are just like the WOKE in that way.
This is cult-ism. But most cult members cannot see this, until their eyes are finally opened. Sometimes never.
Jeff, you want your wifi fixed? Switch to Elon’s Starlink. Never goes down. We’ve been thru some nasty Spring storms in the Midwest and I never lost my wifi. Just saying. (This is not a paid political announcement. No funds were exchanged in the making of this post. No animals harmed, either)
I am located in Chinada. Can't say "live in" as being here right now is more of a survive to tell the tale of sorta thing.
Anyhoo, I also have StarLink, which was buried under 3' of snow at one point, blown on by what I would almost categorize as downdrafts, hailed on, and severely tested by a series of weather events that I'm SURE were normal (*insert massive eye roll here), and never lost it once. The only time it does not work, is when there is no power.
Thinkin' this 'power thing' will soon be rectified as well, but hey, what the hell do I know.
PS. LOVED the No animals harmed part in the ( )'s. 😂
I STRONGLY believe that President Trump has YUGE plans for "Canada," which will have the impact of...remember that togued REEEEEE screamer "NOOOOOOOOOO" cuz Orange Man Bad won - on the libtard retards here.
Note to self: add ear plugs on grocery list...
Also, the carnie just imposed a $500,000.00 EXIT tax on anyone wanting to leave "Canada." Since most of the citizenry are scraping to save for no name food anything, some may consider this a potential hostage situation!! PLUS, [they] gave themselves the power to turn off "anyone of interest's" internet, so there's that too.
We'll see what happens with that tax. The whole country needs to respond by closing out their bank accounts and keeping their money out of government controlled banks.
Another opportunity for Trump to cause Carnie's panties to twist!
Offer Canadians FREE bank accounts so their money is not at the mercy of that retarded communist who hates white Canadians.
Look at the cast of deviants that have filled the office of FBI director and Attorney General over the past 4 administrations, Clinton’s 2 terms which had FBI director Bill Sessions who was fired for ethical lapses, and Attorney General Janet Reno who oversaw 86 deaths at Waco Texas including 20 children. The follow up for FBI director Sessions was Louise Freeh who took part in Ruby Ridge and the Waco siege.
Then we had Obama with FBI director Robert Mueller and finished with James Comey, who Obama called uniquely qualified. Of coarse Obamas Attorney General was Eric Operation Fast And Furious Holder who gave guns to the Mexican drug cartels which were used to kill American border patrol. Oh yah he was found in contempt of Congress in 2012 for failing to produce documents related to the case after they were subpoenaed. Of coarse nothing happened to him.
Then we had Biden with Merrick Garland as Attorney General and Christopher Wray as FBI director. Handcuffs and Shackles Garland after crying during his confirmation hearing, saying he wanted to be the best Attorney General ever and wanted to pay America back for taking his family in, arrested and jailed thousands of protesters. He put political opponents in handcuffs and shackles, even stripped searched Peter Navarro, despicable. Of coarse Christopher Wray constantly lied under oath. He also took part in the Arctic Frost hoax and the infiltration of the FBI into the January 6th protest, what a POS!
All of these people should have been convicted with long jail sentences if not life in prison for the destruction of peoples lives and the killing of citizens in the wake of their “public service”. With Comey I can’t see how he could be convicted for his sea shell threat, of coarse I don’t know all the evidence, but they have him “six ways to Sunday” for lying under oath, stealing Chuck Schumers line about the deep state. Comey’s another scumbag that destroyed people’s lives and their families while completely knowing they were innocent, it seems to be a requirement for these positions. I don’t have much faith though that he’ll ever see the inside of a prison cell. J.Goodrich
But Janet Reno’s mother built the family home in Florida with her own hands, using a pick and a shovel. My dad and his friends built my parents' first home from the ground up, without ever touching a pick or shovel, so I've always wondered about Mrs. Reno's methodology.
She’s dead now, right? Scripture says it’s a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. I’m sure she would have preferred a prison sentence.
It seems so, based on all the different doubles that are trying to fill in for her. But she didn't take her money with her. My dad used to say: "You'll never see a hearse pulling a U-Haul."
They shouldn’t have a problem with lying under oath. They have his testimony and his emails contradicting what he said under oath. The other big plus is it’s not in DC!
There are specific laws against threatening the life of the president that the first amendment does not protect. I think that is how they are going after him. He is in clear violation. They don’t have to prove first amendment burden of “intent,” they have to show he broke the OTHER laws.
Could be Florida. Taxpayers have been noting the fine automobiles that the ‘poor and disadvantaged’ were climbing into in the parking lot since the food stamp days. Our concerns led to the EBT cards so we wouldn’t know who was eating on our dime.
Jeff, you’re right. This single C&C has the most amazing and wonderful news! Bless you for not only being a great news source but also for putting so many great puzzle pieces together to help us see the whole picture! 🎵 🎶 “I can see clearly now, the rain is gone
Jeff should stick to the facts. Unless he knows exactly what wine Dr. Morens was comped for selling out, he does not know it was " a below average bottle of wine". if he finds out, I can help make that conclusion , as I have been an avid wino for 50 years.
Dr. Morens and his boss Fauci both belong in jail. That dirty cop James Comey certainly belongs in jail. And so do all those Minnesota scammers riding in their Maserati’s and Lamborghinis to redeem their food stamps.
I take it back – not jail, they all belong in prison! Justice!
Trump seems to know what some would call - in esoteric teachings - the Law of Image.
In plastering his name, his image on everything, as he facilitates, sometimes obnoxiously, his family's business endeavors, and as he actively encourages his offspring to take full LEGALLY PERMISSIBLE ways to benefit from privileged relationships, Trump lays the groundwork for an enduring legend:
Graced with a wife beyond reproach, a one in a million beauty, staggeringly poised and grounded, with his youngest son prophesized in a book published 130 years ago, and even the surname itself: "Trump", how could his story not be more epic, more biblical?
As we know, all of this ring dang do is smearingly ascribed to vanity, egotism, self-dealing, megalomania, etc, but there's another piece of the puzzle that some of us are beginning to complete, namely, Trump is intentionally deploying the power of IMAGE, a power originated in ancient Egypt.
And, if used effectively, from pure thoughts, it can be a power influencing generations to come
(We've all been unknowingly using “image” in our lives, but without understanding the principle, our results have are helter-skelter.)
The image Trump is creating is of a leader beyond any known stature in history. He has the means to create that image; he doesn't care about what people think 'egotism' is.
(“Ego" ... as pop-psychology a term ... meaning a million different things to a million different people: We should all look in the mirror on that mark.)
Our limited imagination precludes seeing 'freedom from ego' on Trump's level. But we can certainly cultivate it in ourselves.
Trump is living for - setting things up for - generations to come. Truth will see through the hot takes, now, and forever.

We are blessed to witness this. No one alive today will ever see it again, nor will many, many following generations. That’s if we’re not coming up on the end; which only God knows.
Jeffery, Yes, and same with all the gold - painted and real, as in his gold elevator, and all the gold detailing in his office. Gold = high value. Those images work on people unconsciously via association.
So you're saying Trump is free from ego? He's so far above us average people that we can't imagine his self-lessness? Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you are saying.
Clem may be referring to this part “ Our limited imagination precludes seeing 'freedom from ego' on Trump's level. But we can certainly cultivate it in ourselves.”
I don't see Trump being free from ego one iota. The guy takes revenge on anyone that makes any comments about him. He takes it all VERY personally. They need a separate room to store his ego in. He's about as far from a spiritual master as you can get. His presence here on this planet appears to be as a disrupter, which is fine by me but please, can we stop with the descriptions of him as the next Jesus? His job is to tear apart the old entrenched system. It remains to be seen what he replaces it with.
I highly suspect that Jesus Christ's behavior, his delivery appeared extremely bombastic - and certainly inflammatory - to those without 'eyes to see'.
To begin with, I am a devout follower of Jesus Christ.
That said ...
WOULDN'T Jesus Christ WANT ten thousand Men and Women to live and SERVE at HIS level?
Or do we believe He just floats above us and thru us dispensing His superiority?
My understanding is that He ardently wants us to rise to His level ... NOW ... and not just ii some 'afterworld' or other.
In fact, He says so explicitly:
“Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever believes in me will do the works that I do, and will do greater ones than these, because I am going to the Father (John 14:12)
If last week's Jesus meme is stuck in your craw, well that's another story.
I don't recall criticizing Jesus. I am just saying Trump is NOT the second coming and demonstrates non of the qualities you state Jesus wants us to rise to. The meme was just plain silly.
Happy Birthday to me!! 🥳😁 Love seeing all of this good news today!! 😊
Happy, happy birthday. Mine was 2 weeks ago.
Mine and my sissy’s was a week ago. Happy BD Running Logic and Dr. Linda!
A belated happy birthday to you and your sister!! 🎉
Twins?
Yes! We have older twin brothers and my twin has twin grands (all fraternal).
That is so cool!!
Elaine - indeed! But what isn’t cool and is incredibly sad is that our brothers no longer speak to us. They still believe all the lies - or they are too proud to admit they were duped. 😢
"hella cool". Laura.....sorry to hear about the Bros. - lots of sad family crapola, these daze :(
Thank you OTJ - indeed there is. 😢
How awesome happy birthday to all💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞
whoa!
very cool Laura.
Happy Belated B’day to you & your Sis as well. It’s a pleasure to interact with you.

Happy belated birthday to you Dr Linda. May God also bless you with His Mercy. 🕊️
Hope you had a great day!
I did!!
Me too Linda. Happy belated Bday!🎂
Mine too! 🎉
A belated happy birthday to you too! 😊 I still need to respond to your kind post on homeschooling but haven’t had time to go back and find it 😞
Thanks! Not a problem! We all post comments and then can't find them - the day is so full anyway! I posted a long one on the Lithium ore in NC - maybe I'll go find it and copy and paste tomorrow earlier in the day - no one will read it and it was important stuff - NC Governor posted a video stating that if a “natural” disaster “just happened” to destroy homes in the Appalachian area they would request the people not build back but let their property resort back to the state for “green space!” Three days later “geoengineered Hurricane Helene hit; reservoir waters were released on saturated and flooded areas and the whole place was decimated!
We had heard there was lithium but that fact was very downplayed.
Anyhoo - I may post again tomorrow!
I like thay you posted a “Happy Birthday to me!” post! Cute!
Mine was the 19th - knew I liked you for more reasons than the good / thoughtful posts! 😁
My brother's Bday is tomorrow (my older brother passed in 2022 - 63 years old. Sigh.
Have a great evening!
I did see the comment about the lithium, but I was also wondering if the mines were other places in Appalachia since it covers a big area. I guess we’ll have to wait and see but it’s definitely good to be aware and keep an eye on things!
I totally didn’t expect my post to turn into this huge thread!! 🤪😆 I am actually really touched that so many people responded to me with their kind wishes ❤️ I just was tickled by the wonderfully positive and uplifting post Jeff wrote that happened to be on my birthday! I had no plan to monopolize the comment section yesterday 😆 But it was fun to see how many others have April birthdays too!! A belated happy birthday to you also!! 🎂🎉 I am sorry about your brother, it is so sad when they are gone too soon 😞💔
Yes! The thread conversation was really touching! It was an unexpected gift for you! God does lovely things like that just because He loves His children! (we like to give good gifts - He is the ultimate GIFT Giver!)
Your conversation didn't dominate - it became a fellowship thread which blessed many! 😍
Belated birthday wishes....
: )
Happy Birthday RL. IT'S A GREAT DAY!
Especially with all this winning reported from our intrepid Attorney-in-Chief.
I am NOT getting tired of winning and am salivating at the prospect of criminals like comey, actblue Fraudsters, SPLCracist/fraudsters and so many more heading to indictments and jail cells.
86 that, bitch comey.

All great news! Except for the Comey bit. I’m a 1st Amendment absolutist and that seashell case isn’t going to stick. That DOJ case is exhibit A, of “punishment is the process” and ‘red meat’ to emotionally driven folks on the right. Trump should find real evidence of malfeasance w/ Comey like has apparently been found for Fauci # 2, rather than trying to use James as proxy dot-connector to Cole Allen.
Well Matt, while we generally agree, I will tell you that you can't be an absolutist. You can't yell fire in a theater. Comey being in law enforcement (allegedly as I believe he acted a criminal more than law enforcer, seeing himself above the law)) at the highest level, yelled fire in a theater, as a fireman. He knew better, in his TDS state he posted it, realizing his mistake, he deleted the post, now he should get to pay the piper.
BTW, I do believe this is part of the comey, clapper, brennan, obama takedown, all connected.
Yes, Dan. It has to do with the Russia, Russia, Russia setup! A conspiracy against an elected gov. The shell display—Comey just couldn't stop himself, his ego convincing him that there was no risk, he was above it all: "Absolute power corrupts absolutely." We shall see—
Amen, much more coming for all of those treasonous criminals. They swore oaths to tge Constitution and then violated it in every conceivable way, to the point the country is damn near civil war.
Yeah, I'm just seeing the Comey case as weak sauce. The merits of '86 47' is not designed to 'win' the case but instead to occupy the airways. Perhaps this is warm up for something else.
Its a message to all of them. Judgemet day is coming. Where is his case being prosecuted and what will the jury see which you and I haven't.
This is just the beginning of comey's trouble. The motherfucker thought he was above the law, in fact thought he was the law.
Comey also knows exactly what those numbers mean, and IMO making the display and taking a photo and posting it implies malicious intent of riling up Trumps’s opposition. Other democrats were also doing the same thing, like Maxine Waters and Kathie Griffith.
The final nail though was actually deleting it even though there were already screen shots.
Well, posting a photo of numbers on the sea shore isn’t breaking any law that I’m aware of. To convict Comey, the DOJ will have to show that this picture was a “true threat” to Trump. It’s disgusting he posted that to Instagram, then took it down the same day. I’m still waiting for official report on what motivated Thomas Matthew Crooks to shoot Trump in the face. If Comey had something to do with that then we’re talking. Either Trump wants to bury the Crooks story because it isn’t politically helpful, or he’s holding it in reserve for just the right time. Which possibility do you think it is?
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Hope you are correct!
When hurricane Helene devastated NC, I saw discussion on the lithium deposits in the hills and Kamala Harris' husband owning land there and the stall to allow people to rebuild so land could be cheaply purchased, similar to Maui and CA. Make the people.move on. Has there been any more discussion on this? Or was it all theory?
I am too. However, I see 2 things that could be occurring. Either Comey is a "double agent" and they have to make it appear that way (He did help sway the 2016 election when he said he was looking at the Clinton emails)
Or, he really is a bad guy and was sending a message to the deep state to kill Trump.
There is a reason they are going after Comey and not Madonna who wanted to blow up the White House or the red headed comedian that posted a photo of Trump severed head. In my view, they did the same thing Comey did, but if Comey's was an order, then that is a different story.
Comey didn't have to 'order' anything. He was head of the FBI, America's premier law enforcement agency. A mere hint from him was all that would be needed to persuade weak-minded individuals to act. Madonna and Griffin were never in positions of authority like Comey. I will never be convinced that Comey wasn't encouraging someone, anyone, to 86 the president of the US. That, my friend, borders on treason.
Linked video of Tulsi’s take right after it happened. I got to it via Amuse X account, posted yesterday, linked by commenter on another platform.
Dunno what the judge or lawyers will do; but apparently the people who served on the grand jury were convinced of enough evidence to indict.
https://youtu.be/H0sgeb6n8hc
Me thinks this is evidence that both sides can find sympathetic grand jury's. Looks from the video like Tulsi is being a good soldier and carrying water for the boss. I used to work in restaurants and 86 meant we were out of a particular food item. In Comey's case, 86 can be argued it meant to remove Trump from office by the 25th Amendment, and not by assassination. I'm a 3x Trump voter and just try my best to use critical thinking in this age of social media.
I have used that term for decades as a result of my restaurant work. So Of course I see your point, and at first thought that was what Comey meant - simply to get rid of “that guy.” It’s too much of a stretch for me, given his history, to think that he meant via the 25A.
I also see your point about free speech. I wonder how the “yelling fire in a crowded theater” argument might hold up. Or maybe free speech will not be argued by the prosecution, who knows.
What is notable about what TG says is that it is well known among those in the criminal underworld use that lingo for ensuring the end of life for a perceived enemy or traitor. She goes on to point out that there is no credible way he wouldn’t know this given his long experience with that criminal world. And clearly the grand jury thought something was terribly wrong with his efforts and we don’t know what evidence they saw.
I have watched Tulsi since before she left the Dems. If she didn’t believe what she said, she would have found a way not to be saying what she said in public. That said, loyalty to the CoC is paramount in any administration and this team displays it publicly, smartly. It does ruffle my feathers a bit, but then I have worked (and failed) in highly politicized environments so I get it.
At any rate, I am thrilled Comey has to defend himself and spend a lot of money to do so, after the way he turned so many lives upside down with his treachery.
Exactly FH! We can speculate all day about whether or not he will actually have to spend any time in jail, kind of a waste of time really( the speculation , not the potential jail time).What we can comment on and be happy about is that he has to spend his time, and money, combined with most likely some stress for him and his family over this grand jury indictment.
Our friend on X @theVivaFrei has an interesting analysis of Comey’s legal problems and provides context others have missed. Frei explains:
People are either unaware of, or ignoring the context of Comey’s Instagram post. It was not a “one-off”. It was actually the second in a series of three posts, all of which were connected, self-referential, and clearly deliberately so.
Post 1: Comey at the beach, reading his new book, FDR Drive (image attached).
Post 2: 8647 in shells.
Post 3: The summary of his new book which he is reading in Post 1. That summary:
“Garcia believes Buchanan went far beyond the protection of the first amendment when *he singled out his enemies by name* and *suggested “something should be done” about them*. His fans have obliged, killing or grievously, injuring some of his foes.”
Comey is telling you exactly what he is doing.
Reading his book. Singling out his enemies by name (as close as he can get) - 47 for Trump.
Suggesting “something should be done about them” - 86 for kill or eliminate.
And “his fans have obliged” from his book description that he posted.
This analysis also explains why the indictment seeks forfeiture of “property, real or personal, which constitutes or is derived from proceeds traceable to the said offense.” DOJ apparently believes Comey’s coded message “took a page out of his new book,” and promoted its sales.
Actually this is a nothing burger. Comey is dyslexic. He was really wishing America a happy birthday back in 68( 7468). The Newsom defense
No Right, however UNalienable, can be used as an excuse to trespass upon the Rights of another.
Our 51 State Constitution often make this more clear that the Constitution of our federation of States. One example:
California Constitution - Article I, Section 2 (a):
"Every person may freely speak, write and publish his or her sentiments on all subjects, being responsible for the abuse of this right. A law may not restrain or abridge liberty of speech or press. "
In these United States, since the founding, the exercise of "freedom of speech" never covered libel, slander, public profanity or obscenity, nor incitement to violence.
Similarly ,the 2nd Amendment does not allow one to brandish a weapon at someone, nor to use it to infringe upon anyone else's Rights.
Hope this helps clear up an increasingly common misunderstanding.

Happy Birthday to all my fellow bull headed Taurus peeps! Mine is on Friday! Quick little story: I was born in Venezuela many many years ago and my birthday fell on May 1st, International Workers Day. In Venezuela, like in many countries, that meant military parades, etc. I was 6 before I found out the parades weren’t for my birthday! My dad was quite the jokester!
JudyC, that is so cool! I was born in Japan, back in the middle of the last century, in a MASH.
Another “third culture kid”!
(For those who don’t know here’s the definition “A Third Culture Kid is defined as a person who has spent a significant part of their developmental years in a culture different from their parents' culture or their passport country.”)
Lolol. Happy early birthday. My wife's birthday is may 1st as well!
And I thought all the Easter hoopla was for me when I was 3!! 😀🙄
Glad to know I’m not the only gullible one!
😆
Yes Tauruses are the best stubborn determined people 😁 An early happy birthday to you!! Lol about the parades, too funny!!
Born on May 21, on the cusp of Taurus and Gemini, I always considered myself more Taurus; but I’m told that’s not correct. So I just tell people that the influence of the Taurus bull and the Gemini twins, just makes me twice as bull-headed as others.
I love that! 😆😁
My grandson turned four the first year that I was awarded custody of him. His birthday is July 4th, so I took him to see the fireworks. A few minutes after they started, he looked up at me with a huge smile and said, "Thank you, Granny, thank you!" He thought I had arranged them just for his birthday! It was so sweet. And he is still as sweet, and 14 this year! Egads! 😆
What a sweet story!
Aww 😍
That is too sweet 😍
I’m sharing a very big one, it’s ‘uge as The Donald would say, with mom on Mother’s Day this year again!
My fav grandma’s was the 5th, and other grandpa the 3rd. Busy time back then, lots of Tauruses.
Family reunions must have been FUN, kindda like herding cats! 😂
Happy pre Birthday!
Sweet story, I love it and yep, your dad was pretty special. On May Day we made paper cones with handles, filled them with flowers and hung them on our neighbor's door knobs. It was fun!
What a lovely thing to do! We need to bring that type of thing back!
I agree. A few years ago I delivered Easter treats to a few of mom and dad’s neighbors in their retirement community. I wish I had taken more. It was a last minute thing.
Mom was actually born on Easter. Maybe that was the tradeoff for also being born on April Fools day, lol!
What an incredibly sweet gesture! You’ll probably never know what that meant to those people. Sometimes the smallest things mean the world to others.
So fun, good birthday to you !! 🙌🎉 it’s like Jeff knew lol 😉 Enjoy your birthday run !
Thank you! 😊 Already got back from my run a while ago, best way to start my day 😊
And yes I appreciate Jeff’s inadvertent birthday present lol 😁
Happy happy birthday 😘🎂🎉‼️
Thank you!! 😊
Happy birthday, my C&C friend!
Thank you Valerie! 😊
Oh, to be 37 again, you young pup!...;)

Thank you so much Ryan!! Always appreciate your posts! 😊
Yeah I’m a little bit past 37 technically but I don’t feel much older than that so… 😁

That means July is a very busy month! Maybe more "procreation" goes on in July! People are on vacation!
🤭😆
Definitely a Happy Birthday to you!!
I sing loudly and toss rose petals and will happily cut and serve your cake even if I don't care to eat it :D

And I saw another angel flying in midheaven, having an eternal gospel to preach to those who live on the earth, and to every nation and tribe and tongue and people; and he said with a loud voice, “Fear God, and give Him glory, because the hour of His judgment has come; worship Him who made the heaven and the earth and sea and springs of waters.”
— Revelation 14:6-7 NAS95
✝️✝️✝️
And remember Benjamin Franklin's famous quote, "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."
And they WONT HAVE EITHER. FREEDOM IS SCARY, DEAL WITH IT.
We follow this civil rights lawyer guy on YouTube tube. He mostly reports on local issues in W.Va.. some of these cops are just freaks. And I support the blue. I guess hiring and training techniques in that state leave a bit to be desired. Yikes.
I heard Trump was entertaining the notion of changing ICE officers official name of NICE. Just so that the media would be compelled to call them NICE officers. That would be truly quintessential Trump. Aww, c'mon, its funny...
Thank you Janice, remember don't feed the trolls. Thank you for your daily scriptures.
Dianna - "Ain't nobody got time for dat!" 😂
And it is my pleasure to share the scriptures!
Is it "trolling" to point out that God opposes triple-tapping a girls school, Dianna?
Seems like a lot of "christians" here can get snarky, if not vicious when their mythology is countered...
IF they read Biglino's "The Naked Bible"... they would realize that they have built their spiritual foundation on a bed of sand.
But doubtful any WOULD read it... ignorance is bliss, for them.
Sigh. Bet you consider Trump supporters as somehow intellectually challenged? I chose to follow Yeshua and accept the Judeo-christiandoctrine teachings in the Hebrew Bible. That necessarily implies I reject any doctrine that contradicts my belief. I most definitely support any/all ppl chosing a path that works best for them. We dont have to agree.
Sounds anti semantic
It's their hypocrisy that really sets me off. They actually virtue-signal how they support the American slaughtering of little Iranian girls in the name of God!
I can agree with you, Phil, that these "loving Christians" are some of the most insulting and nasty people I have met on any Substack. They delight in attacking others here, often with foul language. They blow their own cover.
Christians they are not. They just usurp that term. Then twist it.
Oh, glorious day! (That will be!)
Amen!
Since you quote Revelations are you aware of the "Preterist" view?
https://www.revelationrevolution.org/
ALL prophecy has not been fulfilled but is being fulfilled during these days. IF all had been fulfilled, we would not be in this spiritual war we are in. The destroyer would be bound and YESHUA would be in charge for the thousand years..the destroyer let free for a time and the books open and all will be judged. GOD is fulfilling HIS promises of exposing things done in the dark to the light which is truth. Let HIM do HIS works. Give HIM the honor, praise, glory and gratitude HE so rightly deserves. Put HIM first and live like HE has given us instruction to live.
What if it's not prophecy but a plan? A human plan.
Like the Federal Reserve Act?
"all will be judged" - even those that support the triple-tapping of a elementary girls school.
Lisa, I'm trying to awaken the cult of personality who have sold their souls to triple-tap a girls school (for shame!).

The U.S. Triple Tapped The Iranian Elementary School.
The U.S. military hit an elementary school three times in succession. A human would have seen the children after the first strike. The AI didn’t look.
https://volitionmaximus.substack.com/p/the-us-triple-tapped-the-iranian
A father in Minab, Iran received a phone call from his daughter’s school on the morning of February 28. There had been an explosion. His daughter was alive. “Come get her.” Before he could reach her, the school was hit again. She was killed.
The principal of Shajareh Tayyebeh Elementary School had moved surviving children into a prayer room after the first strike collapsed the roof. She called parents. “Come now.” The second strike hit the prayer room. According to the mayor of Minab and Iran’s Ministry of Education, a third strike followed.
168 people died. Children. Teachers. Four parents who came to pick up their kids. The school was painted bright blue and pink with sports fields drawn on the asphalt. It was visually, unmistakably, a school.
The U.S. military did this. Not allegedly. Not according to Iranian state media. According to The New York Times, The Washington Post, NPR, CBC, BBC Verify, Bellingcat, Amnesty International, and Human Rights Watch. According to the Pentagon’s own internal investigation. According to footage showing a U.S. Tomahawk cruise missile striking the site. Tomahawks are used exclusively by U.S. forces in this conflict.

Prof. Seyed M. Marandi: “It’s not just murdering little girls at school and blaming the Iranians. What Trump did was: he tried to say that Iran fired Tomahawk missiles at their own school. And Western media didn’t care. They don’t care. And these are the same lies that we hear about Iran for the last 47 years.”

Do not support war crimes, Lisa. You're better than that. We all are. 🙏🏻
Why are you triggered... do YOU support the intentional targeting of the Iranian girl's school? And his unprovoked and illegal war on Iran? You are not stupid enough to believe that Iran was weeks away from building a nuke... are you?
And... Do you support Trump's praise and funding of Israel's genocide in Gaza and Lebanon? Some est 600,000 innocents murdered?
But genocide! What a bunch of things less than men. Not sure what you are, but manly doesn’t work to describe either if you fops. Faggoty is closer. You both sound like 12 years ago old schoolgirls. What Islam did to Israel, on 7 October, they should have plowed the whole fucking mess into the sea. They didn’t, but they should have. And Hamas, they are all Hamas. Women and children first. 600 k innocents killed? You fucking make up numbers some dope told you? You do realize there wasn’t one innocent In Gaza. Not even the children are innocent after three years of age. I’ll laugh when both of you fops are getting butt fucked by some Islamic pig you invite into your home.
Sounds like Sharia law.
Well one thing is sure -- that no man knows the hour or the day of the messiah's return. We live with expectancy, keeping our lamps filled and living each day with the knowledge that the Lord is in charge.
Maybe you haven't noticed watching Fox News
Who watches tv news,of any stripe?
Only watch to see the BS being pushed and only limited amounts or I puke.
I’m a preterest ! What peace ! What joy in knowing !
I hope you are a “partial preterist”; Jesus has not yet returned, but He will!
What form of transportation?
Hi Janice,
How's today's book-flogging and virtue-signaling going?
Everybody has one, but that doesn't mean you have to BE one. We all know now what the A. stands for!
Neener - Someone told me it’s a bot (perhaps from the UK with its spelling of behaviour.) It needs to correct its English, however - it should be “no difference”, not “no different.” Not sure how those work. LOL
🤣🤣😊
Boo. Whoever you are, “A”, know this: you WILL stand before the judgment seat of Christ one day, you WILL bow the knee to Him, and you WILL confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, whether you want to or not. Philippians 2:9-11, the Word of GOD.
"Judge not" went out the window, eh, hypocrite?
Margot, whoever you are, I have tried several times to explain reality to you, but you seldom take off your judgmental cultist blinkers and think about it.
I suspect it is more likely that God is going to have to have a little talk with you in the afterlife, Margot, than with me. He does not like your behaviour or attitudes. The attacks on other people by you and your fellow cultists really ticks him off. This is the antithesis of Christ-like behaviour.
Shape up! You never seem to learn. You just come back virtue-signaling once again, as cover.
The true Gospel is offensive. I am praying for you, if you are even a real person. God knows.
Margot, God is watching you, Be very careful. Open your eyes and become a decent person. Stop your self-righteous con-artistry. Many of us have had enough of it here.
You are no different than the WOKE-folk, or the followers of various religious cults. Frankly, with most of these groups, their minds were fried. And they have the Margot-like audacity to shake their fingers at normal persons.
Margot, go take a time-out and REALLY think about your unacceptable behaviour, and how you are going to improve. Leave the cult, for starters.

Now what a kindly loving Christian response that was, my friend. You are simply proving that this herd camped on this Substack is not really practicing Christianity, but cult-ism. I notice how quick you all are to attack anyone who does not go along with your groupthink narrative 100%. The claws certainly come out. No different in your behaviour than the WOKE.
You started it,dickhead.
Wow, what a thread. This guy or gal is a shit stirrer. I'm beginning to think he is an AI bot designed solely to degrade a forum. The fact that "it" immediately attacked Janice demonstrates it's tactic. Otherwise, there is no logical reason to attack Janice's comment.
Edit: I spoke too quickly. Apparently, A. is a woman. From the sound of her comments, most likely a PhD or some other high level of education. As is typical of PhDs, she exhibits a narcissistic superiority and fails utterly to even understand how she comes across. Finally, and this is also typical, she exhibits a active disdain for the Christian faith. For people like that, it is their mission in life to ridicule Christianity at every opportunity. Thus the reply to Janice.
Bot or PhD, it doesn't much matter. Simply ignoring it is the only proper response.
What a lovely democratic and Christian reply, Alan dear. You just proved my point.
Thanks for that.
Never claimed to be much of a Christian, certainly not democratic in any form. But to attack Janice,you throw about insults meant to enrage, then act holier than thou when someone like myself, who has no time for democratic bullshit, calls you out on it. What a disgusting waste of humanity, that was given to you.
Glad you admit the obvious -- that neither are you a Christian nor democratic. And you are not much of a decent person either. In fact, you displayed zero decency in this rant of yours.
So I am not allowed to state the truth here against what the cultists are saying? I never see you question them when they spout inanities. Or when they attack others for failing to agree with them. What kind of person are you, Alan?
Me....acting holier than thou? I think you mean the Holy Poseurs on this site. You are really sure that Janice is godly simply because she cuts and pastes Scripture quotes daily here, in order to sell her book? She behaves like a lot of fraudsters I know of. This is a common con-artistry trick. Are you so naive you do not spot it? This is a general news site. Why is she posting this material daily? We can all look it up ourselves if we are interested, Frankly, I do not trust Janice's motives. But she counts on the fact that most people will fall for the Scripture-lady routine.
Now run along and examine your conscience, Alan. You have been quite a bad boy here today. You need to apologize and repent.
No, Anita. A balanced normal family is not cult-like.
How do you define a family vs a cult?
I deleted my comment. I could go up there and edit it to say something else, but I won't.
I don't like you enough to argue with you.
Best not to feed the troll!
I do not like your sort either. I find them contemptuous. And con-artists. Real nasty.
I replied to you in yesterday's blog.
Almost every comment you make contains abuse. It gets VERY old.
Yesterday's blog also contained MANY comments on how to block abusive comments. Those who need to learn how to block abusive commenters should go back and re-read the instructions.
No, you are wrong. Most comments I make contain generous and valuable information about the answers from my field which will assist in bringing society back to normal. Though perhaps your reading comprehension is low.
And you have the gall to try to stop this by defaming me? I will report you if you continue harassing me here, Which is all you seem to know how to do. I have seen no posts of value from you or your sort. You use this as a chit-chat forum and to encourage your vacuous groupthink. As your own profile says: "Nothing important".
Be careful how you proceed. Do not attack me again. Fair warning.
lol. What an arrogant faggot.
"Fair warning"??? Get real!
Oh, it's you again. Who only ever sends out foul diatribes.
I'll let you shoot yourself in the foot. You always do.
Miss A
You shure like stirring chit. It appears you are always looking for a bone to chew on. "Almost every comment you make contains abuse" : truth said by a commenter. And they always contain a big judgement on people and on their intrinsic value.
And all that « name dropping » you do is so annoying. And the constant lecturing of us poor ill-informed souls. And then you throw in all your "impressive" credentials, as if it makes what you say more true.
It does not.
You have opinions and bits of usefull infos, you don’t have the absolute truth. But you pretend you do and this is not even comical.
Many people here have degrees too, you know, and much life experience, but they do not need to brag about it. And most on this « curious substack » have very interesting things to share with this community.
If you don’t like what you read here, why don’t you just stay away? Why do you persist? May be you are really a BOT instructed with nefarious goals.
Or stay humble if you can and speak with your heart.
Or naturally all should ignore you.
That was a whole load of projection from you, my friend. I sense you are very envious. I only had to read your profile and the pseudonym you give yourself to realize what your game is. As in:
"Ph.D., I read people who search for the truth and try to enlighten us during this difficult time. Life and Love will prevail."
That was a lot of vague nonsense. Where is all that Light and Love you promise? Not here....
And you boast at the drop of a hat. It's what you are all about. You are just ticked-off that I can actually discuss and debate at the highest levels. Though I rarely see you doing anything but making catty remarks about others. You offer little or nothing worthwhile here. And you are in a rage because some of us do! You need to learn to control yourself. Some good therapy might assist you there.
Name-dropping? You should know references from name-dropping, unless you are a phony Ph.D. Which I rather suspect. Because you give no evidence of being able to discuss the deeper issues at that level. But you insult others with aplomb! You are more like the religious extremist cult group members here.
Meow, meow, meeeeow......says phony pompous J.
Too funny! "You shure like stirring chit." (sic)
Your writing needs improvement, btw.
I will repeat. If you don’t like what you read here, why don’t you just stay away?
Why do you persist?
Why this malice and negative judgments that everybody can see in your comments?
I am very sorry for you and wish you the best.
End of this conversation (if there ever was one).
You know, that is exactly what we need to be asking you. I will repeat. If you don’t like what you read here, why don’t you just stay away? Why do you persist?
Just back away slowly, J. No one will miss you. You do not contribute anything worthwhile. We won't even notice, Though you will lose your forum for making your chronic insults I realize. Maybe you use this site for therapy, instead of a punching bag. H-m-m? Try a good gym. Or Primal Scream Therapy. We are not here for you to take out your problems on.
I will miss J in veritatis!
There is SOMEONE, however, that I will NOT miss.....after blocking ensues.
You are an embittered person, seemingly filled with hatred for your fellow human beings. I sincerely pity you. I wish you the love you need to heal your heart.
Surprised that Sergey Brin's ex-wife, Nichole Shanahan isn't mentioned. She was also a solid liberal until her son was vaccine-injured. Her investigation into vaccine safety triggered a complete re-evaluation of her beliefs, and contributed to her divorce from Sergey. She had a great interview on Beth Stuckey's podcast where she states that she has also moved from abortion advocate to much more pro-life.
Have you seen Brendan Gill put an abortion, excuse me, reproductive health advocate on the spit?
https://x.com/CforCatholics/status/2049200018293411996?
WOW JUST WOW ON THAT. I am in tears listening to how babies are killed in the womb. Gill made that horrible woman so uncomfortable she would not look at him and kept chanting the same sentence. Those seeking abortions via informed consent must be told how their baby will be killed. It is a horror story.
I cried too.
The demons within just replay their talking points, but I think we saw a tiny sliver of conscience slip through the gnarled claws sunk into her brain.
I hope so Janice.
I’m sorry I heard that. 😭 How do these murderers live with themselves!?!
I listened to it and was physically sick at hearing what I already knew. And it bothered her not! Evil has no conscience.
It’s honestly 🤯
Follow the money, find the ethics.
I fully agree... and the mass murderers that committed their appalling genocide in Gaza and Lebanon, including those who supported and funded it... are so vile and evil.
Those that started an unprovoked and illegal war on Iran, with so many thousands more innocent lives destroyed... ditto.
Agree?
Genocide is defined as trying to wipe out an entire people group. It's not happening in Gaza or Lebanon.
While I don't necessarily agree with President Trump's actions in Iran, it is in fact legal under US law. Between their official stance of wanting to destroy the US, and their stockpiles of enriched Uranium, I think a decent case can be made that action was warranted.
Now, why don't you talk about the real genocides of the Armenians, the Jews and the Tutsis of Rwanda?
And talk about the historical wars the killed millions of people.
I will be blocking you after today, so when you don't see me respond anymore, it will be because I don't see you. I'm too busy tilting at windmills on X to deal with it here too.
In Minnesota full term abortions are allowed & allegedly these still living babies are not given palliative care. I don’t have the stomach to do a deeper dive into this murderous barbaric crime against humanity to confirm the allegations. Especially after listening to Brenden Gill disclosing the procedures.
Fetal tissue sales is a lucrative business. It's the same with organ donation from "brain dead" patients.
Abortions are horrific and barbaric in the least but full-term abortions reach a level of evil personified I would not be surprised if actual, biblical demons were the ones performing them. As a supposedly civilized, 1st world country the USA should ban them as crimes against humanity.
This is where they likely
get the newer aborted fetal cells that are in each vaccine.
Body parts are cheap in Gaza.
Isn't it amazing how the ACTUALS beat the NARRATIVES over the head with ball peen hammers?
How the REALITY and Truths of the Matter vs the ILLUSION and parroted talking points clears one's vision?
NO ONE can walk away from that particular Senate hearing citing "reproductive health" measures when it comes to the liberal salivation of abortion up to birth, and then even after!
Remember when [they] had free abortions and snippings in rolling "clinic mobiles" outside a conservative event? And Jackasses actually used them!!
1. How FAR humanity has fallen from humanity
OR
2. How deeply the brainwashing actually went
Either way, make mental asylums great again!
DD for Truth???
You said “outside a conservative event”.
It was outside the DNC Convention, while they were proclaiming a “A season of joy” while they had a vasectomy clinic and an abortion clinic parked right outside as Kameltoe Harris was inside, drunk as a skunk trying to ‘gin up’ the joy.
Remember?
My bad. I KNEW it was an event, couldn't remember exactly which one. Thank you for the correction.
Much Love Friend
You’re welcome.
Not sure if you’re aware how to make corrections. But you can go to the three dots under your post and an edit button should pop up and you can change the word to democrat.
Yes, Unwoke in Idaho, I recently saw that clip. I enjoy watching Brandon Gill. He asks excellent questions and his demeanor is so calm and matter of fact. To me, that has so much more impact than the ridiculous Congress members that yell.
Her daughter is injured. Plus Nicole herself suffered a vaccine injury and nearly died during a late stage pregnancy miscarriage while she was running for VP with Bobby Kennedy.
Was baptized after that.
A very good interview.
She was also podcasting on Youtube. Hosted some interesting people. Abruptly stopped about 5 months ago. Not sure why.

Why any woman would have willingly taken any vaccine or pseudo-vaccine during pregnancy is beyond me. I wouldn't even drink coffee in pregnancy. The results of drugs on the fetus are well known.
Because they trust their doctors and doctors started pushing vaccines during pregnancy a good decade ago.
The sooner they can injure a child, the easier it is to distract the vaxxers that the vaccines are the problem. That’s why there is such a push for the hep b vaccine to be given at birth.
Oh, 100%. You also have to refuse the Vitamin K shot. I wish I had known that.
Is it possible to do that?
I never trusted every doctor. I did my own homework first. Because I know that medical mistakes are rampant. And it is not the doctor who pays the price if it happens.
It simply went against all common sense to take a drug (untested) during pregnancy! Too many people lost their minds.
I never did either, but many people do. Even when they see the harm caused, they often deny it.
And that is not even getting into the harm caused by women who drink during pregnancy and whose babies are born with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. Which is rampant is some places.
I gave up my favorite food, potatoes, during my second pregnancy, since I read that potato blight caused birth defects, and I had no idea how to recognize potato blight.
It was tough. I also gave up coffee.
Mrs. RW
I watched every bite or drink that went into my mouth during my pregnancies. I even made certain my pre-natal vitamins did not exceed the limits.
You are building a life! That seemed to me the minimal effort I should be making.
Potato blight is the excuse for starving a population.
An earlier Globalist horror.
She hasn’t been heard from (online) since October 2025. Not one post
She has been a huge boon to the pro life movement, and to antivax. I don't know what is up with her. Praying she is ok. Maybe all the prayer warriors in C&C can add her to our morning prayers. Lift her up. We all need to support people like her. Praying is a great way to get that started.
I did just that! I am sure she can use our prayers! God will fight for her!
OK, here is something I am going to mention, seeing as we are talking about injuries to children. Even unintended injuries.
Not many people know about the human Attachment System of the brain, and that properly activating that Attachment System by the mother or caregiver in infancy and early childhood is crucial to the child's wellbeing. Unsuccessful Attachment can follow them for life.
I am not referring to the recent internet craze of figuring out your "Attachment style". Like you talk about your zodiac sign. Just a lot of silliness there.
I am talking about real Attachment issues. From the John Bowlby Theory of the 60s.
I will add that it is Attachment loss in the first three years, due to either abuse/neglect, or separation of mother and child, or Attachment loss in an otherwise very caring mother -- that can lead to such adult issues as addiction or the Cluster-B Personality Disorders. Depending on the resilience of the child and/or healing experiences afterwards.
In the 90s and early 2000s, there was a spate of adoptions by Americans of children in the orphanages of former Eastern Communist countries. Everyone seemed to believe that plenty of love in a real family would do the trick in healing these children of their prior neglect.
Not necessarily so. A number of them already had RAD -- Reactive Attachment Disorders -- due to early separation from the mother combined with neglect in these orphanages.
In other words, a whole group of potential pathological Narcissists and Psychopaths were introduced to society in these poor children. They certainly did not ask for these troubles. But unfortunately for the children and the adoptive parents, this is what happens too often under those circumstances. When there is serious Attachment System loss.
I will not leave it there without mentioning Therapeutic Parenting. Which was developed by both Daniel Hughes (PACE Program) and Terry Levy (ATTACH Organization).
Miracles might still be performed by parents willing and able to use these specific methods in raising these troubled children.
Dogs have that too.
Do they? Could be. I have never looked into this condition in dogs. Though once upon a time I had the MOST anxious terrier imaginable. And I always wondered if they took her away from her mother too early.
Nature builds in very important processes to the mother-child bond.
Thanks, I didn't know that bit...
I think there's a shift for a lot of reasons, but mainly because the only thing that has gotten worse during Trump’s 2nd term is the Lefts behavior.
It's hard to miss.
What's the Left?
Divide and Conquer is the term.
A shift? What kind of shift?
Foreign relations have cratered badly under Trump... far worse than Vegetable Joey's.
Unless you support Trump's funding and cheering on Israel's genocide in Gaza and Lebanon...
OR... his unprovoked and illegal war on Iran.

Nicole Shanahan hasn’t posted anything on Twitter since October 25, it’s like she just disappeared
But it is not mandatory to post anywhere on social media. Millions of people never do.
Agreed, but she was running for vice president of the United States at one point and was very vocal about a lot of things in the tech industry and now nothing
And she was vaccine injured so it makes us wonder about her health.
😞
It is good that such extremists finally awaken (often when they hit rock bottom), and we should hope that many more extremists on both the far-leftwing and far-rightwing awaken.
However, I tend to trust the always-balanced individuals far more than I trust the recent converts, who did not see the light until they were forced.
Frequently they just use this attention-getting tactic to launch a new and dramatic podcast or Substack. It pulls in the punters. I would believe them more if they were humble about it. When they are not, I smell a rat.
I recall that Michael Shellenberger used this "I am a Convert!!" routine to launch his media career. I paid annual fees for his Substack. Two weeks later, he banned me and kept the money. Because I disagreed with him once. He was a nasty sort. Now, I would not trust him as far as I could throw him. Manipulative type. Gives you what he thinks you want to hear, then you must reflect it back to him. Or else.
One reason may be that she was the former running mate and economic powerhouse
behind RFK in his short attempt at the Presidentcy.
Yes, Comey is a human weasel, maybe worse. And I just read that a judge in NC has ordered the US Marshalls to arrest him. Actually find and arrest him. Then there is still the big RICO case in FL in his future. It's finally happening.
I suspect Comey will be hit with multiple indictments. His legal team will run out of resources to defend and buy justice.
And if nothing else, as Jeff says, "the process is the punishment" ... and this time the 'process' has been fully crafted to deliver ever more concrete results.
That was exactly my thought. Do to him what he did to Trump.
Hillary should pick up the tab. He did her a solid.
Did you ever see this video about that?

Hadn't seen that one!! LOLOLOLOLOL I especially like the laugh.
Describe first.
It's a song based on Clinton and Comey's words.
Mrs. RW
I surely hope so.
and no matter the outcome - as the leftists love to say when conservatives are snared in the left wing judiciary - the process is the punishment
I hope this bankrupts and breaks Comey.
I doubt he will have much trouble raising legal funds, being such a high-profile figure. I hope his problems go much deeper than running out of money.
Saying Comey is a human weasel is an insult to weasels.
Will he get the pre-dawn SWAT raid treatment Biden’s DOJ inflicted on innocent and cooperative conservatives?
He should, just to give the Left some of their own medicine but of course he won’t. We at least try to do things the way they should be done. I will never get over Peter Navarro being arrested and shackled at the airport. It was absolutely disgusting behavior by the Biden administration - just one example of so many.
Roger Stone comes to mind.
Absolutely, Margot. That was so outrageous.
yes it is. weasels rock!
I was repeating Jeff's description, lol.
I will be interested to find out who is paying for Comey's legal defense.
It'd better not be my laundered tax money.
good one Lydia.
Who knew that sea shells would be a WMD?
This is the best that DOJ can do?
Paging Gislane Maxwell. Her testimony will be more "Shell" Shocking.

OK, then why are the Epstein, 911 and JFK files still suppressed?

Not so sure if that lithium vein is good news for Appalachians. Its been well known for a long time now, it wasn’t just discovered. Too bad the App mountain people live on it. They will need to get them to move and give up their land to mine the lithium. Maybe a once in a millenium hurricane causing utter devastation would drive them off their land. Seems like that was tried once.
How about, instead of automatically assuming the worst thing will happen, we think for a minute that technology may have progressed to a point where there won’t be massive disruption of residents? Look how fracking has changed the oil business. I don’t know anything, but it’s definitely a possibility.
From your comment to Gods ears. 🙏🏻😘
And even if they can find a way I pray their families get royalties for ever bit mined. They DO own the land, so … like those who find oil on their lands
Absolutely
Amen!!
"Living near fracking sites causes significant health, environmental, and quality-of-life harms to neighbors, including respiratory issues (coughing, wheezing), cancer risks, birth defects, and psychological stress. Local communities face air pollution from chemicals like benzene, intense noise, vibrations, and traffic, alongside potential groundwater contamination.
University of Colorado Anschutz
Key Harms to Neighbors
Health Issues: Residents near fracking sites report increased incidences of headaches, nausea, nosebleeds, asthma, and skin rashes. Studies show an increased risk of preterm birth and low birth weight in infants born to mothers living near wells, which are leading causes of infant death.
Air and Water Contamination: Hazardous air pollutants (benzene, formaldehyde) and diesel emissions from trucks, equipment, and flaring degrade air quality. Leaking wells or improper waste disposal can contaminate local well water.
Noise and Vibration: Around-the-clock drilling operations, heavy truck traffic, and machinery create constant noise and vibrations, disrupting sleep and reducing quality of life.
Community and Social Disruption: Increased traffic, damage to roads, light pollution, and strain on local resources (hospitals, schools) are common.
Property and Financial Risks: Homes with private water wells located near fracking sites can experience a decrease in property value. Some landowners may face challenges with mortgages due to split-estate scenarios.
AI
Mrs. RW
Didn't something like that happen there with coal?
Mountain top removal, for sure. It destroys families and wildlife, as well as mountains. Regular coal mining is worst for the miners.
And anyone downstream of tailings.
Mrs. RW
optimism, such a good look Valerie!
Studies show that optimistic people live longer and healthier. Turns out negativity is bad for your health. Who knew? (All the optimistic knew).
I have heard this too! But then the Dems should all be pushing up daisies so not sure now, lol.
Do you not realize how much fracking destroys the lives and water of the residents nearby?
You should probably look that up.
Mrs. RW
Oh, woe is us! Nothing good can possibly happen! And you still believe Iran is winning?
I hope you’re correct, Valerie! I would imagine they’ll be able to extract at least some of the Li.
Nice idea, but human nature is unchanged over a millennium. Greed and evil will make their run at taking the land. Already have the first time, if you ask me.
All over the country and in Canada, people and organizations with money manipulate laws to take land cheap. Sinner or later, they try.
YES! There were theories circulating that the floods were allowed to happen and the disaster response was so pathetic just BECAUSE they want to displace these people in order to get to the lithium. Not to mention the environmental disaster that lithium mines can produce. Definitely not excited about the prospects for people whose land is going to be destroyed. I am a solid fiscal conservative, but also a tree hugger of sorts and not a huge fan of this.
Yeah, not to mention there are a lot of us folks that do not want a lithium battery Bomb in our car that could potentially explode in our garage.
I'll stick with a good ole petroleum version car.
I tended to think this way until I saw the map that shows the specific areas. They are all in the upper areas of PA, NJ, Connecticut, etc.

There goes my comment on wealthy displaced Appalacians. Thanks for the line.
I made the error of only looking at the visual. In the print, it mentions more located in the Carolinas.
Oh. You would rather we keep sending billions to China and Chile than do something for the people in Appalachia because trees.
What a world view you have.
Different strokes, and all that. Would you want to live next to a mining operation?
Red herring question. You have no idea what that means.
You think Joey wanted to be able to mine the lithium? Since when has any democrat wanted to exploit mineral resources as opposed to locking them in the ground forever.
Sibelco is an international mining company operating in the small town of Spruce Pine, Mitchell County, NC that is also a major employer in the area. The company buys up large tracts of land and strips the land of lithium, quartz, feldspar, and uraninite. I’ve been told the spent bottom sedimentation contains a large amount of fluoride and forever chemicals. There is concern chemicals used in the operations can poison waterways and water sources. Plus, the sound of the heavy equipment from the operation is noise pollution to nearby land owners. These are large scale operations that can quickly devalue your property if they start mining nearby.
I looked it up. It's a Belgian corporation.
So the US is opening land and water up to Chile and Belgium and calling it a "win".
Mrs. RW
Both the Trump and Biden Crime Cartels know how to make a BIG load of bucks off of betrayal.
There’s lithium in the desert in Nevada, and future mining was shut down, maybe even before it started due to a wildflower. Not sure what the status is.
I recently read that a new kind of battery is being developed for electric cars that is much superior to what exists now, and it apparently uses silver. The technology would work in other batteries, too. Seems like it would be expensive.
No wonder the price of silver is going up.
It's doubled in the last year. I hear there's not enough to cover futures contracts and the ownership rights of those who didn't take physical delivery of their investments.
I do see your point, Donna in MO.
Same worries here. It’s definitely there, just not sure it’s going to be a good thing for Appalachians. First, can we mine it safely, second can the locals still live there safely and third can it be done without trashing the whole area?
While I don’t consider myself a tree hugging greenie, I am definitely a cautious adult who wants us to be good stewards of the land and communities.
And now having typed that, I expect that Trump has a plan for that too. 🙏🏻🤔
Mining and extracting lithium is pretty dirty business. I would imagine the people will have to get out of the way of that business. Hopefully, they get paid really well to be forced out. I don't know if Trump has a plan but the mining companies sure do.
Areas in north Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina were hit by Helene, some areas harder than others. The Appalachians stretch from central Alabama all the way to Maine... Not sure where the exact area is they are zeroing in on. There was a great deal of talk about large amounts of mineral deposits in the areas in NC hit hardest by Helene during that catastrophe. Would not be the least surprised to find out it was planned....
Haven't most Appalachians already been displaced from that area by that catastrophic flooding from Helena in 2022?
Nope, they lived in tents all winter. Truck loads of donations coming in daily, volunteers rebuilding roads and bridges. Eric Church building them new houses
Apparently the Amish are still there building houses!
Kind of came to say the same thing. Hurricane Helene which took that mysterious left turn to head straight north into the heart of the southern North Carolina mountains causing immense devastation, was immediately proposed to be geo engineered to get land cheap for developers of guess what….lithium, that was well known by many. Over a year and a half now.
LMWC… Yes, I was prepared to add the same on the Helena damage of 2022… https://jimjordanreport.substack.com/p/is-the-dod-attempting-a-land-grab
OUTSTANDING POST TODAY (note to Jeff… every day is!!!!… but today is over the top and on fire!!!)
They’ve known about this vein of lithium for years. After the horrific floods in WNC, the land grab was on, just like after the Palisades fire. Corporations swooped in and started buying up property. I just hope that this doesn’t go sideways. Unfortunately, I have very little trust in the state governments to not let this get out of hand.
I read that Doug Emhoff (kamalatoe Harris’ husband) is trying to get resident kicked out so he can mine the minerals there.
There's a theory hurricane Helene was intended to clean out the rabble so big corps could waltz in and scoop the land up for bargain basement prices. That happened to a degree but Appalachian rabble are a stubborn breed, so now it looks like the "new" announcement indicates they have a new plan. I won't be surprised if an eminent domain attempt is on the horizon.
You people! Every silver lining has a dark cloud, right? This take on a positive news story says more about you and your cramped, conspiratorial world view than the actual news.
Here's some truth for you...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jedIOg0mzY
I’m sure when the racist pedophilic senilities handlers moved those people off their land and beyond slow walked help to the hurricane victims, they weren’t thinking about getting the lithium out, but instead locking it up as federal land forever.
Never say never. TAW
I read that Doug Emhoff (kamalatoe Harris’ husband) is trying to get resident kicked out so he can mine the minerals there.
My first thought as well.
I thought the same John. Many of these folk and their families have lived there for generations. It will be tricky. Plus all the flora and fauna that is likely disrupted. It's a blessing and a curse.
you mean kinda like Jed Clampett and HIS oil.
How about they already have new ways to access that mineral that doesn’t involve two mile holes inthe earth. So…
Yes, weren't most of the people in that area already forced to move after that Helena flooding in 2022 destroyed that area?
If it is their land, think how wealthy they become. Let them buy up some of those repo luxury cars and maybe a foreclosed home once the Fed takes it from the fraudsters.
More than one person has wondered whether any Hurricane Helene re-directing was aimed at the Appalachian lithium mine areas to clear out the inhabitants.
Exactly. It did just that.
Covid is a bioweapon created by Dr. Ralph Baric at UNC Chapel Hill.
It was shipped off to China when Obama put a moratorium on the dangerous gain-of-function research.
Funded by Fauci and NIH.
The US are the baddies.
Not ALL of US! JUST THE CHEATERS.
I meant the US government.
Still VERY true today.
Indeed, let’s not put all of the rest of us in the same basket as those horrible people!
You mean the REAL deplorable basket? :-)
Absolutely, ma’am. I blame the deep state, that does seem to emanate from the mostly Marxist side of the aisle. But the evil is palpable.
Boom! There has to be a way to Fauci to punish him somehow getting around the pardon. May an Act of God intervene to help us find that way.
Remember, kids, if you attack DOCTOR Fauci, you are attacking science; and and as we now know you are also attacking one of the biggest frauds in our history.

"Comey enthusiastically told an NPR interviewer that the book’s central themes were free speech and “what happens when someone’s words incite violence.” The protagonist, federal prosecutor Nora Carleton, investigates whether the podcaster can be held criminally accountable for violence committed by his followers."
I'll have to read Comey's book after I finish "If I Did It" by Orenthal James Simpson.
He just wrote a book about his own party. The Demoncrats. So, I guess they need to be held criminally accountable for inciting violence and assassinations.
Well done!
😂😂😂😂😂
The SNAP abuse is simple but clear proof the need to take a chainsaw to the federal government. The question is no longer " are some people not doing their job". It is " Is ANYONE doing their job?"
And the other question is, why are we even paying taxes?? 😡
Now that is a great question, RL
We pay taxes to keep pedo cannibal perverts who want to enslave us employed 🤡
When Trump said the country was "dead" before his second election, it wasn't hyperbole
I sit here amazed at that story. It took three years for our son to be approved for social security disability benefits. Every day I thank God for that help in the cost of supporting him as it drained our entire savings taking care of him, but the monthly aid is not that much, ($1300/mo,) and they keep back $200/month for Medicare even though he remains covered by my husband’s insurance. They told us he qualified for SNAP benefits too, and that we would be behaving financially foolish if we didn’t take the benefits. On one hand I understood the financial wisdom of that, because it’s still a tiny drain on our own resources, and we WOULD like to save for him somehow for the days we are no longer here, but I never took the aid because he lives with his parents and we ARE able to supplement his aid and afford food for him. It didn’t feel right to use SNAP when there are people out there in his position with less resources and no one to help. So we chose to pass on it. It was a difficult choice, maybe not a smart one to those more wealthy than we are, but it just didn’t feel right. Now if there were an additional benefit for clothing or medical that didn’t cost money out of his check we might use something like that. But this is specifically for food, and we are able to share our food.
I can’t get my head around owning a Porsche and using SNAP. I mean, my son’s car is an old entry-level Audi, but it was purchased long ago before he became fully disabled. The government allows him one car, and it is the only asset he owns to this day, depreciating as the clock ticks. (I think the book value on my son’s Audi is $12,000. 🤣) So I can see how there are circumstances where someone might own a nice car and need aid, BUT - not one worth $100,000 or more! We would have sold THAT and downgraded to one that costs around $25,000 tops. But still people see “Audi” and imagine luxury (he took good care of it so it is nice looking.)
So yeah, there may be cases where you can’t judge the book by the cover, but not THAT many cases, or with such expensive vehicles!
Juju, THESE LUXURY CARS are the sign you've needed to behold: Take the legal benefit, and set aside whatever savings it allows. Take it before it is stolen.
You can bet "the govern-ment" is not going to suddenly grow a heart of care for your son after you are gone. Do your best. God sees. May He bless you and your family.
Or send us a thank you card for being courteous stewards of the public piggy bank. 🤣
Long ago, Joe Sobran (R.I.P.) suggested a revolutionary voting reform to require voters in government elections demonstrate they were NOT receiving benefits from the government holding the election, on simple conflict of interest principles.
He went on to add that "It will also speed up the election process considerably since me and the other guy not receiving any benefits could cast our votes pretty quick."
My father was firmly in your camp, as were his dad and grand-dad. However, he gradually came to the conclusion that "THEY are DETERMINED to WASTE it however they may, and I will at least spend it more WISELY than they are, so he lined up and signed up for every legal benefit he was entitled to.
YOU will spend it more wisely than they have been. Please.
Alright. I added it to my “To-Do” list to look into it again, but contacting them for ANYthing is a months-long trial chamber of horrors. Lol
It would be nice to save more of his money for his future. As it is he pretty much goes through his entire monthly check and can’t save anything. This would help with that. I worry about his future.
I don’t like that he loses $200/mo for Medicare either when he is covered under my husband’s insurance since he is fully disabled. I’ve been meaning to call and cancel that because it’s $2400/year we could place in savings for him. But last week he ended up with emergency surgery to have his appendix out. I wonder if his out of pocket 20% under my husband’s insurance would have exceeded $2400? I must admit it feels good knowing that the entire thing is paid for complete. We don’t have co-insurance for ourselves so always have medical bills we owe. So this is nice.
Still chewing that one over …
We settled on Medigap insurance to cover the 80% [80%!!!, I must have been sleep-walking: That IS 20%] that Medicare doesn't pay. And we DO have an annual deductible, but the cost to buy "insurance" that includes that costs more than the deductible itself. We decided to eat it.
I suspect Medicare's $200/mo for duplicate (non-)coverage is in the way of clawing back anywhere they can to try to keep it solvent. Yes, yes, by all means, do whatever you can to leave as large a legacy for him as you can. Turning that $12,000 auto into a Roth mutual fund IRA might be a way to go. but #i'mnomarketseer
I'm sure there are tens of thousands of stories from decent hardworking people like you who are , or at least should be enraged at this and all the other medicaid , covid, and DEI fraud/ theft. My dad as a WWII vet took 2 years and a job offer to get permissions to emigrate to the US. A departed friend who had progressive degenerative MS took over 2 years to get disability approved. I qualified but never took Unemployment benefits. And yet these bolshevik satanist monsters are still leaving people like you, and vets, memory holed while they let proven criminals milk the system we are paying for every day. Way past time for a reckoning.
Yes the average monthly benefit that illegal aliens get is twice what my legal citizen son gets. And they didn’t have to go through three years of torturous, anxiety ridden red tape to get it, but maybe a couple days at most. It’s quite anger inducing.
Then those who the system paid handsomely with endless nonstop government income in return for their votes and loyalty. It’s all hard to accept, and why we just put our heads down and say “I trust you Lord Jesus, to take care of my needs today as you do the sparrow.”
And …. vote for those that want to end the imbalance and grift.
💯
May God bless you and your son.
I don't think of Audi as a luxury car. Of course I don't think of most Teslas as luxury cars either.
That’s funny. I think most people think of the Audi S7 or S8 when they see an Audi. And they ARE beautifully made. They forget there are A3s and A4s 🤣 that are just a step above an Acura. Lol
More good news. Unemployed USAID schadenfreude. Laid off commissars whine to the NYT while cringe flexing on LinkedIn: https://yuribezmenov.substack.com/p/unemployed-usaid-linkedin-flexing
I can’t believe how much these people got paid for what they did!! 😡
Kind of like some SNAP recipients. 😳
Right??
My son said he saw a Porsche in line at a food bank.
That doesn’t surprise me one bit 😡
But they didn’t shed a tear for ALL the tens of THOUSANDS (probably way more,) of people who lost their jobs or military positions because they refused to be jabbed. They all faced the same circumstances, but even worse became social outcasts because of their choices. But noooo, THESE six or seven people are meant to pull at our heartstrings??
Right????😡
Welcome to the real world USAID milquetoasts.
Yes. That story was so gratifying.
You certainly get around, Yuri. But I'm afraid you are going to have to duke it out with Janice Powell for top position via upvotes on this site. Her tool is to use cut-and-paste Scripture quotes. She's selling her book, you are selling your Substack. But she has a herd of religious extremists behind her here. They all act as one hive-mind. As these groups always do.
Best of luck!
No religious extremist just regular GOD believing and YESHUA followers.
I am a balanced Christian, Carolyn. I have known balanced Christians all my life. But this group knocked me over -- what is this strange behaviour and these odd attitudes?
This is not Christianity, Notice the way these herd members attack anyone who does not mimic their groupthink narrative. They are just like the WOKE in that way.
This is cult-ism. But most cult members cannot see this, until their eyes are finally opened. Sometimes never.
Such an ugly comment. Go away.
Jeff, you want your wifi fixed? Switch to Elon’s Starlink. Never goes down. We’ve been thru some nasty Spring storms in the Midwest and I never lost my wifi. Just saying. (This is not a paid political announcement. No funds were exchanged in the making of this post. No animals harmed, either)
I am located in Chinada. Can't say "live in" as being here right now is more of a survive to tell the tale of sorta thing.
Anyhoo, I also have StarLink, which was buried under 3' of snow at one point, blown on by what I would almost categorize as downdrafts, hailed on, and severely tested by a series of weather events that I'm SURE were normal (*insert massive eye roll here), and never lost it once. The only time it does not work, is when there is no power.
Thinkin' this 'power thing' will soon be rectified as well, but hey, what the hell do I know.
PS. LOVED the No animals harmed part in the ( )'s. 😂
My condolences for living in Chinada.
I wish it were easier for Canadians to shelter in the US as refugees 😂
Trump should offer Canadians temporary protected status to escape the tyranny and oppression from the buffoons in Carney's party 🫱🏼🫲🏽
There are so many hardworking families trying to leave that country. We could use hard workers who contribute over foreign freeloaders.
Wouldn’t it be great if we could swap our libtards for their patriots? Our country would be so wonderful again.
I STRONGLY believe that President Trump has YUGE plans for "Canada," which will have the impact of...remember that togued REEEEEE screamer "NOOOOOOOOOO" cuz Orange Man Bad won - on the libtard retards here.
Note to self: add ear plugs on grocery list...
Also, the carnie just imposed a $500,000.00 EXIT tax on anyone wanting to leave "Canada." Since most of the citizenry are scraping to save for no name food anything, some may consider this a potential hostage situation!! PLUS, [they] gave themselves the power to turn off "anyone of interest's" internet, so there's that too.

Interesting times.
Thanxs for your response, always appreciated.😊
MUCH Love
We'll see what happens with that tax. The whole country needs to respond by closing out their bank accounts and keeping their money out of government controlled banks.
Another opportunity for Trump to cause Carnie's panties to twist!
Offer Canadians FREE bank accounts so their money is not at the mercy of that retarded communist who hates white Canadians.
I’d love to see him troll Carnie by offering Canadians asylum 😁
I think there’s a Starlink special this month.
Look at the cast of deviants that have filled the office of FBI director and Attorney General over the past 4 administrations, Clinton’s 2 terms which had FBI director Bill Sessions who was fired for ethical lapses, and Attorney General Janet Reno who oversaw 86 deaths at Waco Texas including 20 children. The follow up for FBI director Sessions was Louise Freeh who took part in Ruby Ridge and the Waco siege.
Then we had Obama with FBI director Robert Mueller and finished with James Comey, who Obama called uniquely qualified. Of coarse Obamas Attorney General was Eric Operation Fast And Furious Holder who gave guns to the Mexican drug cartels which were used to kill American border patrol. Oh yah he was found in contempt of Congress in 2012 for failing to produce documents related to the case after they were subpoenaed. Of coarse nothing happened to him.
Then we had Biden with Merrick Garland as Attorney General and Christopher Wray as FBI director. Handcuffs and Shackles Garland after crying during his confirmation hearing, saying he wanted to be the best Attorney General ever and wanted to pay America back for taking his family in, arrested and jailed thousands of protesters. He put political opponents in handcuffs and shackles, even stripped searched Peter Navarro, despicable. Of coarse Christopher Wray constantly lied under oath. He also took part in the Arctic Frost hoax and the infiltration of the FBI into the January 6th protest, what a POS!
All of these people should have been convicted with long jail sentences if not life in prison for the destruction of peoples lives and the killing of citizens in the wake of their “public service”. With Comey I can’t see how he could be convicted for his sea shell threat, of coarse I don’t know all the evidence, but they have him “six ways to Sunday” for lying under oath, stealing Chuck Schumers line about the deep state. Comey’s another scumbag that destroyed people’s lives and their families while completely knowing they were innocent, it seems to be a requirement for these positions. I don’t have much faith though that he’ll ever see the inside of a prison cell. J.Goodrich
James: It is just so nauseating how criminals get away with their crimes.
Thanks , James Goodrich, for putting it all together! Justice please!
But Janet Reno’s mother built the family home in Florida with her own hands, using a pick and a shovel. My dad and his friends built my parents' first home from the ground up, without ever touching a pick or shovel, so I've always wondered about Mrs. Reno's methodology.
She’s dead now, right? Scripture says it’s a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. I’m sure she would have preferred a prison sentence.
It seems so, based on all the different doubles that are trying to fill in for her. But she didn't take her money with her. My dad used to say: "You'll never see a hearse pulling a U-Haul."
Well perhaps they can get comey bc he did not use speech, the oral word to say 86 47. He formed it in the sand. Not sure that is covered in A1.
They shouldn’t have a problem with lying under oath. They have his testimony and his emails contradicting what he said under oath. The other big plus is it’s not in DC!
YES!
There are specific laws against threatening the life of the president that the first amendment does not protect. I think that is how they are going after him. He is in clear violation. They don’t have to prove first amendment burden of “intent,” they have to show he broke the OTHER laws.
Go back farther than that
I am beyond curious…what red state has all the snap recipients driving fancy cars?
And if it’s like that in a red state, the ,ind boggles thinking about a blue state. Especially a large blue state.
I am in Texas, although red we have some fraud problems as well especially with H1B1 visas
I read elsewhere it is my state of Georgia 😬
In my blue state I assumed they were all drug dealers. Probly same. Also Foreigners attending University.
Could be Florida. Taxpayers have been noting the fine automobiles that the ‘poor and disadvantaged’ were climbing into in the parking lot since the food stamp days. Our concerns led to the EBT cards so we wouldn’t know who was eating on our dime.
They identified red states because the blue states didn't allow DOGE to access their SNAP recipients and auto registrations... that is coming.
Can’t wait! Has to be off the charts! No wonder we have had a huge national debt.
I bet it is Florida. There are a lot of fraudsters there unfortunately.
Jeff, you’re right. This single C&C has the most amazing and wonderful news! Bless you for not only being a great news source but also for putting so many great puzzle pieces together to help us see the whole picture! 🎵 🎶 “I can see clearly now, the rain is gone
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-shiny day
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-shiny day”
Right on Jan Hollerback…
My “Covid era” song… TOMORROW
🎶 The sun will come out Tomorrow , Bet your bottom dollar That tomorrow There'll be sun!
Just thinking about Tomorrow Clears away the cobwebs, And the sorrow 'Til there's none!
When I'm stuck in a day That's gray, And lonely, I just stick out my chin And Grin, And Say, ….
Oh The sun will come out Tomorrow … So ya gotta hang on 'Til tomorrow …Come what may … read your C&C…Tomorrow! Tomorrow! I love ya Tomorrow!
You're always a day away …
When I'm stuck in a day That's gray, And lonely, I just stick out my chin And Grin, And Say, 🎶 Oh Tomorrow! Tomorrow! I love ya Tomorrow!
You're always A day A way!
I woke up singing the Halleluia Chorus.
"The future's bright... the future's orange (man 🍊 🤣)"
... to quote an old UK cell phone plan provider 😁
@Jan-Thanks for the ear worm! 😆👍 Love that one
Bless you, I could hear the voice, but forget it was Johnny Nash!
Jeff should stick to the facts. Unless he knows exactly what wine Dr. Morens was comped for selling out, he does not know it was " a below average bottle of wine". if he finds out, I can help make that conclusion , as I have been an avid wino for 50 years.
Except, by definition, Jeff is a Commentator, not a reporter. I read this for his serious AND comedic perception of the news.
Except Jeff, like Rush used to do as a commentator, publishes more news that the alphabets cover, with a blanket, to smother that news.
🤣
I love your offer of help for that 😁
Dr. Morens deserves a refrigerated, red box wine.
Noted that weak assumption as well... I'm guessing they can afford the good stuff.
Reeeporshing for duty, shirr 🫡
🤣😅😁
Dr. Morens and his boss Fauci both belong in jail. That dirty cop James Comey certainly belongs in jail. And so do all those Minnesota scammers riding in their Maserati’s and Lamborghinis to redeem their food stamps.
I take it back – not jail, they all belong in prison! Justice!
Actually this is TREASONO US!
they deserve more than just prison.
Trump seems to know what some would call - in esoteric teachings - the Law of Image.
In plastering his name, his image on everything, as he facilitates, sometimes obnoxiously, his family's business endeavors, and as he actively encourages his offspring to take full LEGALLY PERMISSIBLE ways to benefit from privileged relationships, Trump lays the groundwork for an enduring legend:
Graced with a wife beyond reproach, a one in a million beauty, staggeringly poised and grounded, with his youngest son prophesized in a book published 130 years ago, and even the surname itself: "Trump", how could his story not be more epic, more biblical?
As we know, all of this ring dang do is smearingly ascribed to vanity, egotism, self-dealing, megalomania, etc, but there's another piece of the puzzle that some of us are beginning to complete, namely, Trump is intentionally deploying the power of IMAGE, a power originated in ancient Egypt.
And, if used effectively, from pure thoughts, it can be a power influencing generations to come
(We've all been unknowingly using “image” in our lives, but without understanding the principle, our results have are helter-skelter.)
The image Trump is creating is of a leader beyond any known stature in history. He has the means to create that image; he doesn't care about what people think 'egotism' is.
(“Ego" ... as pop-psychology a term ... meaning a million different things to a million different people: We should all look in the mirror on that mark.)
Our limited imagination precludes seeing 'freedom from ego' on Trump's level. But we can certainly cultivate it in ourselves.
Trump is living for - setting things up for - generations to come. Truth will see through the hot takes, now, and forever.

We are blessed to witness this. No one alive today will ever see it again, nor will many, many following generations. That’s if we’re not coming up on the end; which only God knows.
Amen.
Interesting.
Boy, the Trump worship is strong with you. Better be careful with that.
You should change your ID to “tiring citizen”, it would be more apt. *yawn*
Jeffery, Yes, and same with all the gold - painted and real, as in his gold elevator, and all the gold detailing in his office. Gold = high value. Those images work on people unconsciously via association.
Agreed …
IF he's doing this intentionally, I believe it's the power of image:
He's aiming at how America will see itself many generations to come.
Pax Trumpiana
So you're saying Trump is free from ego? He's so far above us average people that we can't imagine his self-lessness? Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you are saying.
I did not get that take from what Jeffrey wrote.
Clem may be referring to this part “ Our limited imagination precludes seeing 'freedom from ego' on Trump's level. But we can certainly cultivate it in ourselves.”
I don't see Trump being free from ego one iota. The guy takes revenge on anyone that makes any comments about him. He takes it all VERY personally. They need a separate room to store his ego in. He's about as far from a spiritual master as you can get. His presence here on this planet appears to be as a disrupter, which is fine by me but please, can we stop with the descriptions of him as the next Jesus? His job is to tear apart the old entrenched system. It remains to be seen what he replaces it with.
I highly suspect that Jesus Christ's behavior, his delivery appeared extremely bombastic - and certainly inflammatory - to those without 'eyes to see'.
Dismantling sacred cows is only for the corageous
I'm all for the dismantling the sacred cows but Jesus, he ain't.
To begin with, I am a devout follower of Jesus Christ.
That said ...
WOULDN'T Jesus Christ WANT ten thousand Men and Women to live and SERVE at HIS level?
Or do we believe He just floats above us and thru us dispensing His superiority?
My understanding is that He ardently wants us to rise to His level ... NOW ... and not just ii some 'afterworld' or other.
In fact, He says so explicitly:
“Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever believes in me will do the works that I do, and will do greater ones than these, because I am going to the Father (John 14:12)
If last week's Jesus meme is stuck in your craw, well that's another story.
I don't recall criticizing Jesus. I am just saying Trump is NOT the second coming and demonstrates non of the qualities you state Jesus wants us to rise to. The meme was just plain silly.
