El Mencho's done; HuffPost needs therapy for your patriotism; the NYT panics over Epstein; and Harvard says optimism is a longevity drug. I told you so.
Jimmy’s Seafood now has almost 350k followers and has offered free food for life to the players on this hockey team. I was on X yesterday and followed this story, and boy, did HuffPost realllllly make people mad.
There was a photo awhile back of the "editorial team" (I use that term ironically.)
The entire staff is made up of AWFL's. Affluent White Female Liberals. And they look it. I would bet that few of them have been outside the state, and none have ever suffered poverty or even physical issues. They are mostly young, blonde, and look like a sorority with a token non-whitey occasionally at the table.
What do you make of Alberta fleeing Canada after (allegedly) being fleeced by the rest of Canada? Is it true they are forced to be their brother's keeper?
Canada was confederated so upper and lower Canada (Ontario and Quebec) can parasitize western Canada and it’s resources. It’s been going on for a long time. Alberta cash keeps Canada functioning and in a way it is theft.
But expect Ottawa to use all means legally and otherwise to get the result they want.
During the Quebec referendum Ottawa moved all immigration judges to Quebec and minted thousands of “new” loyal Canadians just in time to pad the vote. And when the Quebec leader blamed immigrants he got blasted for racism but it turns out he was right.
I'm Albertan. We have no future inside Canada. Definitely no reason beyond fear to stay. And, yes, it's mostly AWFLs that are freaking out about the idea.
Canadians that are such sore losers (talking to you, Men’s and Ladies hockey) and boo other teams are probably all Liberals. I think it’s because they are bent…at the elbows.
We are in Florida at our timeshare for three weeks and there is very little wait time at restaurants. One of the locals said it is because the Canadians are boycotting Florida due to Trump’s policies. How ridiculous is that?
From where I stand, it looks like Canadians are quickly discovering that their other vacation spots are lacking a bit; Cuba, Venezuela and now Mexico. I know I know, bad USA, bad FL, Bad AZ - boycot... But who could really use some vitamin D these days along with a clean & safe vacation? Welcome back y'all eh!
You have NO IDEA! but Mexico is now off the list, Cuba is too. Where’s a Canadian elbows up idiot to vacay?? We went to Ft Lauderdale over Christmas.
Someone I compete with who is a former Afghan vet and retired police sold his FL condo as he “didn’t want to get shot by MAGA republicans” His EXACT words. I was busy at the time but he said it to my wife. I would have unloaded (figuratively) on him. He doesn’t like me anyway. We compete in a 2nd amendment sport and I beat him all the time, drives the idiot nuts. He watches the propaganda that is CDN media, I have no idea why
A good friend of mine who owns a landscaping business told me his wealthy clients are selling their FL properties. When he asked why they couldn’t give him an answer other than feelings. We are so brainwashed up here
Even our former “conservative “ Prime Minister said he would rather let Canada burn than become a US state.
Excuse me??? Hitler thought the same of the German people (sorry for the nazi byline but ……)
Don’t the long suffering citizens of Canada get a voice?
Canadians went to FL in 2025, but the Carney China-lover has them believing that America is a bigger threat than China or Russia, and these are Liberal voters!
Right. As Jeff was saying in this post—about optimism. Same thing with good humor. And yes, Jeff Childers—we do owe you a LOT for the optimism and excellent sense of humor you bring with your every post. At this rate, as long as you keep posting we may never die. ☺️
I watched the whole thing! Went to church Saturday night so I could. What a game! There is no way they can pigeon hole this. Proud to be an American was on full display. May the snowboarding medal detractors go home and keep quiet about their medals and shame in America, we ain’t having it…USA! USA! USA!
Deeply grateful to everyone for your prayers and provisions over the last couple of days, things are far better now, and I will endeavor to pay your extensive generosity forward. Here is a story for you, not too unlike the kindness I just experienced:
----
In 1983, our first little home burned to the ground while we watched helplessly in the snow. We lost everything—our wedding gifts, photos, textbooks, all of it. As I stood there in shock, a firefighter—soot-streaked, exhausted, and kind—took me in his arms and said, “This is the worst part. But from here, it gets better.” He later helped organize a fundraiser, delivered donated furniture, and made sure we had a place to stay—quietly, without ever taking credit. Years later, at his wake, dozens of us he had helped surrounded his wife and told her how her husband had saved more than homes—he’d saved hope. —Bethann Siviter, Edited by Bright Side
----
With room and board secured, I will be working on a very special article over the next few days focused on wells we all share of comradery, fellowship, and family, pulled from places of that divide us (intentionally or not), and which I think will imbue hope and restore faith in the power of love and kindness. See you then.
"Those who are filled with the love of Christ do not seek to force others to do better: they inspire others to do better." —Howard Hunter
I am thrilled that you were able to return to the C & C group after your hiatus (not intentional, I understand) because we missed you greatly!! Your clarion cries are heard--not just by 'us' but by our Creator God.
Trump DID prepare for the "blowback" of taking out this drug cartel boss. He had ICE target certain cities and certain criminal illegals who had been embedded in the US that were part of the cartel's syndicate, and he took them out so they could not be used HERE to retaliate.
Trump declared war on the drug cartels long ago. He knows who was really running them - the CIA and deep state criminal cabal. He was serious about actually stopping them, and stopping the deaths of Americans from their trafficking. He is also serious about ending the cartel's influence in AZ elections, stopping the rigging and theft.
Have you all been keeping track of ICE arrests and the kinds of horrific crimes these mostly Hispanic individuals commit? Why are so many Hispanics from Mexico, Central & South America so unbelievably evil? First, most of those arrested are probably involved with drugs or the drug trade to begin with. Drugs are referred to as sorcery and witchcraft in the Bible. But I also suspect it’s because of all the ancient blood that has historically been shed in those countries during their snake-worshipping ceremonies. Ophiolatry (snake-worship) is considered the oldest religion in history, and the human sacrifice and blood-letting it requires draws demons to the location and empowers those performing the rituals. Quetzalcoatl (Mexico), Coatlicue (Aztec), and Kukulkan (Mayan) are all serpent gods, revered in Hispanic culture even today. Many modern scholars put the number of victims killed during a single 4-day temple-dedication ceremony in 1487 at over 80,000. Now multiply that by thousands of years.
“You shall not bow down to them or serve them; for I, YHWH your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me.” – Exodus 20:5. In other words, if just a single generation engages in idolatry, it will negatively affect the family through the 3rd or 4th generation. But if each of those subsequent generations continues the idolatry, then the curse will never end. Any culture that practices human sacrifice will be infected with powerful demons, and the Democrat abortion and mutilation culture perfectly explains their evil insanity even today in America.
Just so everyone knows, the last part of the verse is SUPER important! “…punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the 3rd & 4th generation OF THOSE WHO HATE ME.” Ex.
20:5 *If we LOVE Him and we don’t sacrifice/abort our children or how down to these other gods (**LITTLE “g”!) their son will not be on us. It’s only
if we hate Him and show it by showing down to other gods and doing these things that show we hate Him.
I see how many Hispanics are being arrested by ICE. I’m not sure how many Hispanics are in America legally or by nature have become or been born as citizens… but my mother and her side of my family are of this group and sadly mostly dems but good caliber citizens vs criminals. So we need to remember that Mexico and it’s cartels are sending their criminals to do the dirty drug work on purpose. I have a heart left for my mother’s side, all in California and New Mexico, even if they have shunned me due to my C&C beliefs! I have only my Godfather Uncle who unfortunately has dementia now but was of sound political mind prior to that. But I have a lot of fond memories and appreciate my Mexican American side of my heritage, and needed to remind myself too.
If it makes you sick to your stomach and gets your head spinning, and you just puked in your mouth looking at young talented good old Americans winning Gold Medals in the Olympics best thing to do is pack a few bags. Head out to the nearest airport and pick your favorite communist country and fly, fly away.
A brownstone post today boils down the state of the current liberal cult (since 0bama) —they now are neo-fascist totalitarians. Read it—it fits. As a former Dem until 2021, I look in and see it clearly. The libs are still swimming in the big pot on the stove enjoying the hot water and getting more cooked by the day. Turn the flame up, please.
What about the free skier Eileen Gu? Trained in the US had a spot on the team and instead Eileen decided she could be mor e impactful skiing for the CCP. Eileen is a card carrying member of BLM and from what I can tell leftist. Why can’t we send Eileen back to CCP?
Didn’t I see Snoop Dog do a glowing interview with Eileen Gu at some point in television Olympic coverage? I just shook my head and turned tv off. Typical mainstream media behavior of extolling degenerates.
And notice how poor her performance was! Instead of focusing on what she was there for, she decided to trash our country and complain. Result…going home without a medal!
Coffee &Covid IS my daily dose of mental health check. I am grateful for this community. You have kept me from despair and from feeling alone. My faith in The Lord is strong. Thank you all. God bless you all. USA! USA! 🙏✝️❤️😄🥰🎉
Love to you from a sister in Christ, Annie. I pray that the Lord is gracious to you and that His face shines on you! Isn’t it incredible the level of connection that two people can share when they have never even met? Be blessed!!!
All of us true believers in Jesus Christ ARE family! And we will be together with Him and each other forever! Isn’t that just too wonderful for words??
SO true! I greatly appreciate the daily optimistic angle & coverage of even dismal topics. I never miss a day; C&C is one of my most valuable expenditures
Play by the goalie (whom I won’t name because I can’t remember how to spell it) was PHENOMENAL. I don’t think I’ve seen better, and I’ve seen some good goalies. His ability to maintain the ninja moves throughout the game, especially the 3rd period, was one for the ages. I need to know if he’s on anti anxiety meds because I needed some watching him.
Connor Hellebuyck! And while Michigan has little to brag about any longer, Connor is a Michigan boy! (Our termed, communist governor did manage to make it to the Olympics after being in Munich to further the Cause. Thank you Gretchen).
Actually, the Hughes family lives in Michigan as well. Jack was born in Florida, grew up in the Toronto area, then the family moved to Michigan, allegedly.
I don’t know about anyone else, but I was riding a high all day yesterday after that hockey game. It’s as good as the 1980 win. Just beautiful. And hockey players are truly the salt of the earth. Ten thumbs up.
I loved yesterday’s triumph, but nothing will compare to the 1980, Miracle on Ice. Going against the Red Machine of the Soviets, professionals going against amateur, (mostly American college players), was so sweet in victory. Since the advent of pro’s in all the Olympic sports, watching a bunch of pro athletes decide another medal is necessary in their life just has always rubbed me wrong. Now, no one remembers when the Olympics was about amateurs competing. While, it was well done competition, these guys will be back on their pro teams next week with their Canadian counterparts. The best part was Jack Hughes spitting teeth out and literally saying, “Hold my Beer”.
So were the Russians, technically. They were all in the army and doing nothing but practicing hockey all day, but since they weren’t technically being paid to play hockey they were ‘amateurs.’
I remember the things about amateurs! When did that change take place? Such a monumental decision and I wonder what the story is behind it … money of course but was there more?
Best thing about the HuffPost tweets is “Jimmy’s Famous Seafood” ratio of them into oblivion with their response on X - 190,000 likes vs. HuffPost’s measly 1500. 🤣. https://x.com/jimmysseafood/status/2025663262864376146
It’s incredible to go from one presidential administration that opens the border wide. Allows the Mexican drug cartels to take the border over. Lets pounds of deadly fentanyl flow freely into the country killing tens of thousands of our young every year. Allows child trafficking, the cartels to make millions bringing illegals into America. Biden created his own cartel by coercing and forcing citizens to be injected with dangerous DNA changing chemical injections. Biden’s massive cartel, Bid Pharma and the medical establishment, put the Mexican cartel to shame in size money and killing people.
Then there’s Trump who takes out the cartels and their leaders. Closes the border down. Does his best to stop the flow of drugs over the border into America. Tried his best to use tariffs to stop China from poisoning our kids and create fair trade. But as usual the commy’s just can’t handle it. They have to try and stop him at every turn, every step of the way. They just can’t stand a president that fights for America.
El Mencho has assumed room temperature… with a nod to the Great El Rushbo.
The USA men’s and women’s hockey teams dominate in a bitter rivalry in very poetic fashion with historic wins. And don’t worry young man, we’ll get those teeth fixed, better than ever, such as the world has never seen.
And Alysa Liu single-handedly revived my long-dormant interest in US Figure Skating this past week. She is an American original, her flawless performance was perfectly joyful, and that photo of her with the American flag says it all.
I am very proud of what my fellow Americans accomplished this week. God bless you all — looking forward to the SOTU address even more now!
I think there will be many offers to do the restorative work for free. Just think if the pub! “Smile by Dr.___ and staff” with an autographed photo. 😁❤️
Debra I live in both Tapalpa, Jalisco and Manzanillo. We were on our way to Guadalajara Sunday morning and were stopped at the cuota--san Marcos (after Colima, before CD Guzman). Had to wait over 2 hours. Then they reopened the road back to Colima. We went there and stayed with friends, This morning returning to Manzanillo we saw several burned up semi's that had been blocking the road buring yesterday. They had all been moved sufficiently to creep through. But El Mencho was killed in Tapalpa. very close to our house.
Hi Dara, we are in Jalisco/Cabo Corrientes. There are two torched busses blocking Carretera 200 south of Vallarta. We are stuck until who knows when 😂. Our little town lost two OXXO's, a small Kiosko and part of the gas station and the small bank where people can pick up their social security checks. It takes a long time to repair things, as I am sure you are aware. My heart goes out to these people who have built their lives around these businesses. Saludos.
Wow. Lots of destruction. I noticed today driving that the small towns were much more affected than larger ones. Likely same damage but shows differently in small towns. El Mencho dies so close to my mountain home—we will wait a few weeks and. Heck with folks who live there before we return. Our neighborhood is small and serine. Certainly don’t need that kind of thing there!
Buenas tardes, Dara. Our town is small too. Why do "they" hurt their own countrymen for something the town folks had no control over?
Today all the shops and schools were closed. Only the little tiendas de aborrotes were open and the larger mercado.
My husband went to town and said there was only one tortilla shop open and the line for tortillas went around a block or two. What was so strange was yesterday afternoon after the chaos---no dogs barking, no Ranchero music, no roosters crowing and no tropical birds singing or flying around. No wind. No sounds. No animals, no music. But this morning it was back to normal at 6 AM 😂.
The road north of us, just south of Boca, is still blocked. But someone said the National Guard is the cleanup committee and they are starting to work on it. Those guys and women are amazing!
hi. Why the smaller towns seem to get the brunt of it? I think each town has a small group of cartel members. All towns have some. SO when they are told to do damage--they do so in or newar their pwn towns. So it becomes more visible in the small towns. But the destruction is not really much different than the protests in the US where they destroy shopping areas, cars, buildings, etc. So very sad that so many people are angry and have gone atray for God.
I totally agree. Our town is fairly "quiet" because of the cartel presence.
My friends in the US texted, frightened for us. But we had to reply, "Antifa, Hamas, ICE protesters are different?"
My friend from Taiwan even contacted us and ask if we were safe. I had to laugh because China is practicing naval military exercises all around her "home" 🤣. Again, it is nice to chat with you. God knows. He who sits in the heavens laughs.
That must have been frightening to have that man killed in your neighborhood. Shocking for the community. So many uncertainties. Something like that is remembered for a long time. Do you think so too?
Debra, my friends, one who is 83 years old, all said that this experience was the first time in their lives that something like this occured--nation wide. But living in ground zero brought a more 'real' aspect to it! I will likely go up their next week for a day if I am told things have calmed down. But it certainly put Tapalpa on the map!
I agree with you that your little town is now on the map. I could only think of Talpa. I didn't know there is a Tapalpa. I think it is interesting what your friends said about these current events. The "signs of the times"---wars and rumors of wars, increases lawlessness. We live in amazing but strange times. PS Thank you for the conversation :)
Phillip, Since I do not frequent (at all) all inclusive places, I would say that they are safe, but getting to them might have been an issue. But now--after tings have calmed down, I do not believe it is dangerous to go to an airport and to an all inclusive place. I do not feel it is dangerous for us to dtravel by car to other towns, either--once things cam down, which they have already somewhat.
For what it is worth, Johnson was the only representative that stood up for the silenced jab injured. He is featured a number of times in this gripping film.
Same! I found it later than y’all, but since I did I haven’t missed a day in 24 months. I’ve followed several podcasts and news agencies, but they are sporadic. Only Jeff is my can’t miss news report of the day. ❤️
I would never vaca or step foot in mexico. it is 3rd world. Why spend American money in a place that has so many cartels that brings in drugs to the US? Pick another country that is safe.
Sounds a little nutty (but better than funding genocide)...
Why don't we invade Mexico and take all lands down to Durango (and all of the Baja)?
Would make for a FAR smaller border to control... eviscerate the cartels... and give Trump and Kushner some beachfront property to develop without murdering 300,000+ innocents!

Huff Post made a negative comment on X about it and Jimmy’s Seafood in Maryland told them to FO. They gave the men and women’s teams free crab cakes for life. https://x.com/jimmysseafood/status/2025695986883129437?s=46&t=HrjIVpMY-LOd752yqNAprA
Jimmy’s Seafood now has almost 350k followers and has offered free food for life to the players on this hockey team. I was on X yesterday and followed this story, and boy, did HuffPost realllllly make people mad.
Like all MSM, HuffPost huffs and puffs and blows their OWN house
down! 😂😂😂
Like Chomsky.
Yeah, when I followed them they had 151k.
Smart dude
Huff is a sad rag, not long for this world.
There was a photo awhile back of the "editorial team" (I use that term ironically.)

I would bet that few of them have been outside the state, and none have ever suffered poverty or even physical issues. They are mostly young, blonde, and look like a sorority with a token non-whitey occasionally at the table.
And most importantly, most haven't been laid in years.
what kind of heroism that would require!
Masochism.
Another possible reason for optimism
Just a wan peep in the swirling toilet of the Left now.
WEF influenced publication
I didn't even know they WERE still a sad rag. Thought they had long ago shuffled off this mortal coil.
The Po Huff?
Jimmy’s in B’More a legend
Now that’s my kind of place!
I heard Canada's silver medal is a bronze medal after taxes.
Unfortunately the loss kinda sums up the state of the “post national nation ”
Congrats team USA. May your anthem never be booed again

Will Alberta also encompass Idaho north and N Dakota? Let’s go, and help Alberta.
I'm Albertan. We have no future inside Canada. Definitely no reason beyond fear to stay. And, yes, it's mostly AWFLs that are freaking out about the idea.
I'm American and we want to get rid of Minnesota. How about them for youse guys?
Lol. As long as Alberta separates, Canada can have them. Perfect fit.
Thank you, dear northern neighbor! Come on down and join us anytime!
Canadians that are such sore losers (talking to you, Men’s and Ladies hockey) and boo other teams are probably all Liberals. I think it’s because they are bent…at the elbows.
Thank you for your gracious sportsmanship. 🥰
Thank you!
We are in Florida at our timeshare for three weeks and there is very little wait time at restaurants. One of the locals said it is because the Canadians are boycotting Florida due to Trump’s policies. How ridiculous is that?
same people are boycotting Arizona. We are very happy about that. More room for the good folks from the rest of the flyover states.
Ha ha they were all in Mexico. I was in Puerto Vallarta last week and it was filled with Canadians.
That's great news. But would be a shame if any were to get caught in the recent crossfire, eh?
Likewise on the Riviera Maya!
Mental illness is real.
From where I stand, it looks like Canadians are quickly discovering that their other vacation spots are lacking a bit; Cuba, Venezuela and now Mexico. I know I know, bad USA, bad FL, Bad AZ - boycot... But who could really use some vitamin D these days along with a clean & safe vacation? Welcome back y'all eh!
You have NO IDEA! but Mexico is now off the list, Cuba is too. Where’s a Canadian elbows up idiot to vacay?? We went to Ft Lauderdale over Christmas.
Someone I compete with who is a former Afghan vet and retired police sold his FL condo as he “didn’t want to get shot by MAGA republicans” His EXACT words.

We compete in a 2nd amendment sport and I beat him all the time, drives the idiot nuts. He watches the propaganda that is CDN media, I have no idea why
Sad to hear of a vet with that kind of derangement. Be gentle with him...
Good! Us Americans would like the opportunity to buy condos in that area at a reasonable price. Hope more foreigners sell!
A good friend of mine who owns a landscaping business told me his wealthy clients are selling their FL properties. When he asked why they couldn’t give him an answer other than feelings. We are so brainwashed up here
Even our former “conservative “ Prime Minister said he would rather let Canada burn than become a US state.
Excuse me??? Hitler thought the same of the German people (sorry for the nazi byline but ……)
Don’t the long suffering citizens of Canada get a voice?
Canadian media is a repetition of CNN, MSNBC, and CBS…all shallow lefties, propagandists, and brainwashers for the Canadian Liberal sheep.
Well they must be coming from somewhere else...https://991wqik.iheart.com/featured/florida-news/content/2026-02-22-florida-tourism-breaks-records-again-with-143-million-visitors-in-2025/

News story; Florida man arrested for trying to baptise alligator in Waffle House with pitcher of iced tea.
Canadians went to FL in 2025, but the Carney China-lover has them believing that America is a bigger threat than China or Russia, and these are Liberal voters!
Because Orange Man Bad!
Bless their hearts… 😑
Canadians are having a little tantrum. Usually they are quite polite. 🤔
I live in FL and there is the usual snow bird traffic here in my area.
Let them.
......it's those damned tariffs.
😆😆
No, Mr. Carney has decided to give the medal to Canada's Indigenous tribes because it was probably stolen from them 😂
😂😂😂 Yeah, and if you try to give it to a trucker against mandates, they seize the medal and give it to a charity of THEIR choice.
Ryan, you make laugh so hard….
That added another year to my lifetime. Thank you 🙏
Right. As Jeff was saying in this post—about optimism. Same thing with good humor. And yes, Jeff Childers—we do owe you a LOT for the optimism and excellent sense of humor you bring with your every post. At this rate, as long as you keep posting we may never die. ☺️

Smiled from ear to ear hearing him say that! USA! USA!

I LOVE MY COUNTRY. I'M SO PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN!
I do not need a special win to say this, nor a patriot moment. Sure we are far from perfect, but then again who is perfect? Only Jesus!!!
This land still allows me to pursue LIFE, LIBERTY of thought & faith, which makes me HAPPY.
I AM BLESSED BEYOND WORDS
Amen, praise the Lord!!! He’s so good to us.
The Canadians had many cheaters. Jack Hughes stayed 100% focused despite having his teeth knocked out, most likely deliberately.
And on my mother's birthday! Happy birthday mom - sure wish you were still here with us!
I'm happy about USA hockey. But I'm mad too.
Another assassination attempt on. 47 and barely a blip in the news. This is problematic.

Trump DID prepare for the "blowback" of taking out this drug cartel boss. He had ICE target certain cities and certain criminal illegals who had been embedded in the US that were part of the cartel's syndicate, and he took them out so they could not be used HERE to retaliate.
Trump declared war on the drug cartels long ago. He knows who was really running them - the CIA and deep state criminal cabal. He was serious about actually stopping them, and stopping the deaths of Americans from their trafficking.

Hobbs needs to be gone. From office, at the very least, the country if at all possible.

Any culture that practices human sacrifice will be infected with powerful demons, and the Democrat abortion and mutilation culture perfectly explains their evil insanity even today in America.
Just so everyone knows, the last part of the verse is SUPER important! “…punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the 3rd & 4th generation OF THOSE WHO HATE ME.” Ex.
20:5 *If we LOVE Him and we don’t sacrifice/abort our children or how down to these other gods (**LITTLE “g”!) their son will not be on us. It’s only
if we hate Him and show it by showing down to other gods and doing these things that show we hate Him.
I see how many Hispanics are being arrested by ICE. I’m not sure how many Hispanics are in America legally or by nature have become or been born as citizens… but my mother and her side of my family are of this group and sadly mostly dems but good caliber citizens vs criminals. So we need to remember that Mexico and it’s cartels are sending their criminals to do the dirty drug work on purpose. I have a heart left for my mother’s side, all in California and New Mexico, even if they have shunned me due to my C&C beliefs! I have only my Godfather Uncle who unfortunately has dementia now but was of sound political mind prior to that. But I have a lot of fond memories and appreciate my Mexican American side of my heritage, and needed to remind myself too.
Everyone has that right. Nothing wrong with that. RebeccaGrrrl.
Thanks MarshaLouise. Appreciated.
Because they are cartel plants, not Maryland dads.
Dots!
The cartel's influence is far more widespread than maggot hobb's AZ.
Yes... CIA involved too. And the zio-pig Ratcliffe, controlled by scumbag Wiles... is NOT the guy to clean it up.

Not just AZ.

What gangs are associated with this cartel?
Senate & Congress
Nicely said!
Fascinating, thank you!
If it makes you sick to your stomach and gets your head spinning, and you just puked in your mouth looking at young talented good old Americans winning Gold Medals in the Olympics best thing to do is pack a few bags. Head out to the nearest airport and pick your favorite communist country and fly, fly away.
These are what real men look and act like. Congrats to US Hockey for their stunning win and love of America!
Don't forget, the women's team won as well - without a single make believe-woman on the team.
Yep - they play with pucks - no balls necessary.🙏🏼
😆😆
I'm triggered. Lol 😂 😉
YES!!
We all know liberalism is a mental illness. I live in a blue libbie area and they are all messed up. I got no sympathy for them.
A brownstone post today boils down the state of the current liberal cult (since 0bama) —they now are neo-fascist totalitarians. Read it—it fits. As a former Dem until 2021, I look in and see it clearly. The libs are still swimming in the big pot on the stove enjoying the hot water and getting more cooked by the day. Turn the flame up, please.
Do you have a link Janet?
Annie, I cannot imagine living with one of them. They are so very DISTURBED. I wish you strength and peace as you go.
In Canada, they can’t hide any more. You can spot a Liberal a mile away from their bent up elbows. 😂😂😂
Ditto
What about the free skier Eileen Gu? Trained in the US had a spot on the team and instead Eileen decided she could be mor e impactful skiing for the CCP. Eileen is a card carrying member of BLM and from what I can tell leftist. Why can’t we send Eileen back to CCP?
Contrast with Alysa Liu!
She should be deported along with her lunatic liberal pal.
Read she’s been given 23 million bucks by China.
She is for sale to the highest bidder—even one that would sooner kill her and her family than allow freedom. Her lessons are beginning.
Good thing she came through for them or she may have been “disappeared”. Whoever was advising her is evil.
Didn’t I see Snoop Dog do a glowing interview with Eileen Gu at some point in television Olympic coverage? I just shook my head and turned tv off. Typical mainstream media behavior of extolling degenerates.
I wouldn't watch or listen to Snoop dog crap with your eyes or ears
And notice how poor her performance was! Instead of focusing on what she was there for, she decided to trash our country and complain. Result…going home without a medal!
I'm disgusted with Eileen Gu. She should definitely try living in China for awhile to see how much she likes it.
She should be refused entry at customs. Having received so much money from the CCP. It should be seen as a national security threat.
Deport to China… 😡
She got paid multi 7 figure money to skate for the CCP
Short on cash for a ticket? Rent a UHaul and migrate your sorry tush to Mamdani-Land.
And never come back!

Coffee &Covid IS my daily dose of mental health check. I am grateful for this community. You have kept me from despair and from feeling alone. My faith in The Lord is strong. Thank you all. God bless you all. USA! USA! 🙏✝️❤️😄🥰🎉
You’re not alone Annie. There are “7,000 who haven’t bowed to Baal.” There are over 2 billion Christians. And the Lord is always with you. 🙏🙏❤️
Love to you from a sister in Christ, Annie. I pray that the Lord is gracious to you and that His face shines on you! Isn’t it incredible the level of connection that two people can share when they have never even met? Be blessed!!!
All of us true believers in Jesus Christ ARE family! And we will be together with Him and each other forever! Isn’t that just too wonderful for words??
I feel the same way!
Oh, how lovely, Annie, and you’re so right! What a wonderful inspirational crowd.
Happy Monday!!! Finally Jeff has arrived!!
SO true! I greatly appreciate the daily optimistic angle & coverage of even dismal topics. I never miss a day; C&C is one of my most valuable expenditures
Indeed a long wait--but we were able to finish shoveling the driveway first! (7-8")
Relief. Thought something was wrong.
YES! HOORAY!!!🎉 🥳
Congrats to the U.S. men ‘s hockey gold!
From a Canadian to boot!
It is so amazing that they were able to pull off a win!! 🤩
The goalie had a lot to do with that!
Play by the goalie (whom I won’t name because I can’t remember how to spell it) was PHENOMENAL. I don’t think I’ve seen better, and I’ve seen some good goalies. His ability to maintain the ninja moves throughout the game, especially the 3rd period, was one for the ages. I need to know if he’s on anti anxiety meds because I needed some watching him.
41 Saves!!!! Take that Canada!!!!
More shots on goal by the Cdn team…however you look at it..!
Connor Hellebuyck! And while Michigan has little to brag about any longer, Connor is a Michigan boy! (Our termed, communist governor did manage to make it to the Olympics after being in Munich to further the Cause. Thank you Gretchen).
Actually, the Hughes family lives in Michigan as well. Jack was born in Florida, grew up in the Toronto area, then the family moved to Michigan, allegedly.
Goalie was phenomenal but have always loved that Hockey is the ultimate Team Game.
He was amazing!
As one announcer said, “either team could have got that bounce”, but I think God set his eyes on Jack!
And from another Canadian. 😊

Touching the curling stone
Good one. 👍
Not to make this PG 13, but I believe the official term is 'stroking the stone'...not joking (well, kind of ;~) )
Erik, you just couldn’t resist. . . . 😂

Ouch!

Keeping their "elbows up"
Sorry. True, but not appropriate.
I don’t know about anyone else, but I was riding a high all day yesterday after that hockey game. It’s as good as the 1980 win. Just beautiful. And hockey players are truly the salt of the earth. Ten thumbs up.
I loved yesterday’s triumph, but nothing will compare to the 1980, Miracle on Ice. Going against the Red Machine of the Soviets, professionals going against amateur, (mostly American college players), was so sweet in victory. Since the advent of pro’s in all the Olympic sports, watching a bunch of pro athletes decide another medal is necessary in their life just has always rubbed me wrong. Now, no one remembers when the Olympics was about amateurs competing. While, it was well done competition, these guys will be back on their pro teams next week with their Canadian counterparts. The best part was Jack Hughes spitting teeth out and literally saying, “Hold my Beer”.
Oh I remember when the Olympics were all amateurs. There for nothing but love of the sport, many of them still are.
Well, the American teams were all amateurs.
So were the Russians, technically. They were all in the army and doing nothing but practicing hockey all day, but since they weren’t technically being paid to play hockey they were ‘amateurs.’
I just saw a clip of a sports podcast and they were saying in the movie Miracle there was a guy cut just before the game named Jack Hughes! 😳
You are correct. It is Hughes. I knew I wrote down the wrong name yesterday, but I was too lazy to correct it. Keeping me on my toes, I appreciate it!
I didn’t notice that. 😆 I just thought it was crazy at the name. Jack Hughes was in the movie. if you mention that I may have missed it.
I remember the things about amateurs! When did that change take place? Such a monumental decision and I wonder what the story is behind it … money of course but was there more?
When we finally got tired of losing to Eastern bloc.
I didn’t even watch it but the accounts describing the game and the players’ reactions brought tears to my eyes!!
I still tear up thinking back to 1980.
Me too! I watched the Miracle documentary on Netflix last night. That win made a huge impact on me.
Best thing about the HuffPost tweets is “Jimmy’s Famous Seafood” ratio of them into oblivion with their response on X - 190,000 likes vs. HuffPost’s measly 1500. 🤣. https://x.com/jimmysseafood/status/2025663262864376146
Video about the back story on Jimmy's Famous Seafood restaurant.
Greek immigrant.
American success story.
They also kept other restaurants and bars afloat in Baltimore when the governor shut everything down during covid.

That’s awesome, thank you for sharing this!
It’s incredible to go from one presidential administration that opens the border wide. Allows the Mexican drug cartels to take the border over. Lets pounds of deadly fentanyl flow freely into the country killing tens of thousands of our young every year. Allows child trafficking, the cartels to make millions bringing illegals into America. Biden created his own cartel by coercing and forcing citizens to be injected with dangerous DNA changing chemical injections. Biden’s massive cartel, Bid Pharma and the medical establishment, put the Mexican cartel to shame in size money and killing people.
Then there’s Trump who takes out the cartels and their leaders. Closes the border down. Does his best to stop the flow of drugs over the border into America. Tried his best to use tariffs to stop China from poisoning our kids and create fair trade. But as usual the commy’s just can’t handle it. They have to try and stop him at every turn, every step of the way. They just can’t stand a president that fights for America.
We can't love Trump enough or be grateful enough for all he has accomplished. MAGA!
El Mencho has assumed room temperature… with a nod to the Great El Rushbo.
The USA men’s and women’s hockey teams dominate in a bitter rivalry in very poetic fashion with historic wins. And don’t worry young man, we’ll get those teeth fixed, better than ever, such as the world has never seen.
And Alysa Liu single-handedly revived my long-dormant interest in US Figure Skating this past week. She is an American original, her flawless performance was perfectly joyful, and that photo of her with the American flag says it all.
I am very proud of what my fellow Americans accomplished this week. God bless you all — looking forward to the SOTU address even more now!
The hockey teams are invited to the SOTU address. Trump said they will be intro’d. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Don't you think the teeth should be replaced with gold teeth? Very fitting, I think:)
At $5,000. an ounce..... Ouch!!! 😂😂😂😂😂
I think there will be many offers to do the restorative work for free. Just think if the pub! “Smile by Dr.___ and staff” with an autographed photo. 😁❤️
Maybe Kash could provide some cash for the teeth?! He seems to be a big hockey fan:)
I was thinking same think 'zacly.
Yes! That was my first thought.
Ditto!
We live here. Costco was not burned down. They just set on fire a bunch of cars surrounding it.
Debra I live in both Tapalpa, Jalisco and Manzanillo. We were on our way to Guadalajara Sunday morning and were stopped at the cuota--san Marcos (after Colima, before CD Guzman). Had to wait over 2 hours. Then they reopened the road back to Colima. We went there and stayed with friends, This morning returning to Manzanillo we saw several burned up semi's that had been blocking the road buring yesterday. They had all been moved sufficiently to creep through. But El Mencho was killed in Tapalpa. very close to our house.
Hi Dara, we are in Jalisco/Cabo Corrientes. There are two torched busses blocking Carretera 200 south of Vallarta. We are stuck until who knows when 😂. Our little town lost two OXXO's, a small Kiosko and part of the gas station and the small bank where people can pick up their social security checks. It takes a long time to repair things, as I am sure you are aware. My heart goes out to these people who have built their lives around these businesses. Saludos.
Wow. Lots of destruction. I noticed today driving that the small towns were much more affected than larger ones. Likely same damage but shows differently in small towns. El Mencho dies so close to my mountain home—we will wait a few weeks and. Heck with folks who live there before we return. Our neighborhood is small and serine. Certainly don’t need that kind of thing there!
Buenas tardes, Dara. Our town is small too. Why do "they" hurt their own countrymen for something the town folks had no control over?
Today all the shops and schools were closed. Only the little tiendas de aborrotes were open and the larger mercado.
My husband went to town and said there was only one tortilla shop open and the line for tortillas went around a block or two. What was so strange was yesterday afternoon after the chaos---no dogs barking, no Ranchero music, no roosters crowing and no tropical birds singing or flying around. No wind. No sounds. No animals, no music. But this morning it was back to normal at 6 AM 😂.
The road north of us, just south of Boca, is still blocked. But someone said the National Guard is the cleanup committee and they are starting to work on it. Those guys and women are amazing!
hi. Why the smaller towns seem to get the brunt of it? I think each town has a small group of cartel members. All towns have some. SO when they are told to do damage--they do so in or newar their pwn towns. So it becomes more visible in the small towns. But the destruction is not really much different than the protests in the US where they destroy shopping areas, cars, buildings, etc. So very sad that so many people are angry and have gone atray for God.
I totally agree. Our town is fairly "quiet" because of the cartel presence.
My friends in the US texted, frightened for us. But we had to reply, "Antifa, Hamas, ICE protesters are different?"
My friend from Taiwan even contacted us and ask if we were safe. I had to laugh because China is practicing naval military exercises all around her "home" 🤣. Again, it is nice to chat with you. God knows. He who sits in the heavens laughs.
Hola again Dara,
That must have been frightening to have that man killed in your neighborhood. Shocking for the community. So many uncertainties. Something like that is remembered for a long time. Do you think so too?
Debra, my friends, one who is 83 years old, all said that this experience was the first time in their lives that something like this occured--nation wide. But living in ground zero brought a more 'real' aspect to it! I will likely go up their next week for a day if I am told things have calmed down. But it certainly put Tapalpa on the map!
I agree with you that your little town is now on the map. I could only think of Talpa. I didn't know there is a Tapalpa. I think it is interesting what your friends said about these current events. The "signs of the times"---wars and rumors of wars, increases lawlessness. We live in amazing but strange times. PS Thank you for the conversation :)
Stay safe.
So what's your insider opinion of traveling to an all-inclusive property in Cancun? Be Well, Be Blessed, Phillip
Hi Philip. So sorry---I dont have an opinion. I have never been there.
Phillip, Since I do not frequent (at all) all inclusive places, I would say that they are safe, but getting to them might have been an issue. But now--after tings have calmed down, I do not believe it is dangerous to go to an airport and to an all inclusive place. I do not feel it is dangerous for us to dtravel by car to other towns, either--once things cam down, which they have already somewhat.
Live in Mexico? Ugh.
Oh that’s way better.
So what's your insider opinion of traveling to an all-inclusive property in Cancun?
Be Well, Be Blessed, Phillip
I’m optimistic that Bill Gates and his cohorts will be taken down and that our Senate leader Thune will start doing his job 😄
And i am optimistic that McConnell will stop being senile long enough to get the SAVE act through.
🤞🏻
We should do a gofundme for Thune to have a spine implant. Or cojones. Either one. The guy is such a limp Richard.
Seeing Bill Gates taken down would make me so Optimistic! I wonder where he’s hiding 🫣
Now that is REAL optimism. Maybe your screen name should be Dr.Pangloss 😉
True. Thune and Judas Johnson are scum... controlled by powerful anti-America groups.
For what it is worth, Johnson was the only representative that stood up for the silenced jab injured. He is featured a number of times in this gripping film.
https://followthesilenced.com
Could be... overall, he is, IMO, a BIG disappointment.
Oh, please be right.
Maybe the tourists in Mexico went because they were OPTIMISTIC about their chances there…😅
Seriously though I’m sure being in PV right now is extremely stressful and hope civilians and tourists aren’t hurt.
Meanwhile up here, love how C&C has kept us upbeat for the past five or six years! This is the only news roundup I’ve kept up with that long!
Same! I found it later than y’all, but since I did I haven’t missed a day in 24 months. I’ve followed several podcasts and news agencies, but they are sporadic. Only Jeff is my can’t miss news report of the day. ❤️
I found it around the same time, Juju. I really could have used it in 2020.
I would never vaca or step foot in mexico. it is 3rd world. Why spend American money in a place that has so many cartels that brings in drugs to the US? Pick another country that is safe.
Sounds a little nutty (but better than funding genocide)...
Why don't we invade Mexico and take all lands down to Durango (and all of the Baja)?
Would make for a FAR smaller border to control... eviscerate the cartels... and give Trump and Kushner some beachfront property to develop without murdering 300,000+ innocents!
Same here!
