Hey, Jeff, in answer to your comment yesterday about “thanks to those of us who have hung around since the beginning” I would like to say “Thanks from the bottom of my heart for your commentary throughout the last four years. I subscribed very early on, went paid shortly after, and have never regretted it. I literally look forward to every day’s C&C, and when it comes, other things have to wait while I get updated…” thanks a billion for all your hard work.

I do have a question for you too. I’m from Wisconsin, and we are having a statewide vote about amendments to our constitution because of election integrity issues, and that vote is to be on April 2nd. I was curious if you would be willing to review the proposed amendments to the constitution and see what you think; and also, if they are the right options, it would be great to see a reminder to our Wisconsin C&Cer’s to get out and vote for those.

ALL C & C ers who have local elections next week need to get out and VOTE! And call or text 10 friends to vote. There are a million and one things to be disgusted about but there is not much most of us can do about those things to move the needle. But many of our local races over the years are decided by 100 votes or less. The precincts that Biden won in 2020 are also those with the highest April turnout - the left votes, conservatives are checked out. I don't think my municipality is unique. Local has been 100% of my focus this last month. We have a chance at a conservative majority on our school board for the first time in nearly a decade. Not harboring any illusions that the State Board and DOE are not the REAL problem in education, but looking forward to handing the hateful leftist trolls a LOSS on April 2nd.

Fantastic! Most people don't realize that local elections greatly affect their day-to-day life.

Well, many did learn that lesson during covid - but people's memories are short, I guess. Our local team supporting conservatives had a LOT more volunteers stepping up in 2021 and 2022 as people were mad - but last year and this year it has been much harder to get people to show up for door knocking dates, campaign events and having to reach out one on one to get people to sign up for election day. I get the 'busy' excuse. Sigh. We are all busy but if we all do a little it adds up to a lot!

And if you do vote, they’ll commit fraud to win anyway.

Sadly Amused_Traveler you hit the nail on the head. The left cannot win on ideas or debates, they must cheat. The left (media) then convinces the citizenry that they are out of step with the times, which is a lie. Being discouraged, more and more honest hard working concerned patriots simply drop out of the system, they can never win so voting becomes an exercise in futility. Since the Trump candidacy of '16 and the steal of '20 many of these patriots became re-invigorated active voters. The left's response was numbers, massive numbers of 'new' voters. After all, that is all the left needs, bodies that can be assigned a ballot, voted in the 'right' way and presto, continued leftist ideology and election wins. None of this would be possible without a complicit judiciary in my opinion. The checks and balances our founders gave us is seriously broken.

We're the final check and balance. We forget that, or recoil from the sacrifice necessary to honor that obligation to Liberty for our descendants.

I wish your local school board election success. Our county managed to flip conservative at the last major election. Because of this, I have been actively tuned in to the monthly meetings. The best part is watching while disgruntled citizens get their 3 minutes to add their opinions to the board while adding to the official record. The same people attend every month and voice the exact same complaints. One man from many counties away and another an escapee from a cemetery barely manage to contain their rage as they lob personal insults to board members. The same 3 women (ex school teachers) try to shock, marginalize and shame the board. Some actual students get up there too but are the most respectful of all. It’s a quite a demonstration of the commitment they have to the sickness of liberalism. I commend the school board for maintaining straight faces and for remaining professional throughout the proceeding.

Sincerely hope you are afforded the opportunity to marvel at this spectacle!

Check out a new company called citizen portal that will upload public board meetings that are already being recorded. This company was started to create full transparency in what is going on at the local and national level. It’s an opportunity to make an impact on transparency and accountability by creating awareness. Find out how to Upload your local meetings.

Our local city elections were canceled due to no challengers. They were canceled 4 yrs ago for the same reason. It's a small, rural, conservative town but no one wants to get involved in local politics. Only the wealthy, generational people participate. Two years ago, there were challengers but those people made ZERO effort to actually win - not even putting any signs out, much less talking to people. It was SO STRANGE! I worked the election and people were asking us - "Who are they? I didn't even know someone else was running." In a city of 2700 registered voters, after 2 weeks of early voting (wk 1 - 8a to 5p; wk 2 -7a to 7p) and 7a to 7p on Election Day, we had all of 137 people show up to vote. But check out the local FB page and they're all over moaning and griping about something "the city" has done or plans to do. 😫

I too have been with Jeff since the summer of 2020 but am too poor to pay. I pray a lot though for him, his family and all of us on C&C who have the heart and soul to love one another and faith to believe we follow the God of the impossible! We are in an impossible age so we need the hand of God more than ever!

I like you, cannot afford the $500 per year and have been reading for three years. I wish there was a lower tier paid subscription option. Until your comment today I had no idea non-paying subscribers could even comment since I have never even been able to even like a comment.

Prayer and action is what is needed. We must vote even if it feels useless because each legal vote IS not only our duty to perform, it CAN make a difference!

You are missing Sunday’s issue if you are non paying. Like you, I don’t pay to read… I think it is very generous of Jeff and those who do pay. It allows Jeff to write every day. By doing a tier paying means that we start paying … I am quite happy with the way it is.

I think someone said that substack doesn't allow for different tiers, only for "paid" or "not paid". And Jeff wanted to make it so that only people who can REALLY afford to pay, will pay, so that's why the price. So for the same reason, I don't pay either... cheers to Jeff for making most of his posts free for everyone.

Since Democrats say vote no to both amendments, I take that as a great reason to vote yes.

WI - from Peter Bernegger TG channel

668,720 dead registered voters on the new Wisconsin voter registration list obtained from the Wis. Election Commission. Actives: 3,436,987. Inactives: 4,117,138. Those two added: 7,554,125 for ALL registered voters for the state of Wisconsin. Adult population: 4,663,743. Meaning there are more registered voters in our state than adults living here. Plus, the voter registration list is extremely inaccurate, proven by runs we've done through my TITAN system and Fractal Programming I have access to. And the Inactives can (and are) flipped to Active with a couple of mouse clicks. Or, say, a preloaded USB thumb drive could be used to flip 35,000 in a matter of seconds, then back again. Or move the Inactives to a new jurisdiction, flip them to Active status, and vote them. We see it all the time in Wisconsin elections. Meagan Wolfe, the squatter, is a corrupt lying person - here is another real example: she'll scream all day long: 'We have to preserve the voter history; we can't delete or separate the inactives from the Actives.' Showing how dumb she is (or corrupt she is), first, the "Inactives" can be cheaply stored at the Wis. Historical Society. Secondly, when a voter moves, their entire voting history is assigned to the new address. Whereby one could move and not vote at the new location, yet the voting history would show all ballots were cast from that new address - when, in fact, all were cast from the old address. More like hiding voting history squatter Wolfe. She is lying to us all on this point. And the six election commissioners think all of this is funny - no lie - they actually laugh about it all. You can see them laughing about it as they are recorded on TV, found in the archives of Wisconsin Live Eye service. Several of them are attorneys, so we have licensed attorneys sitting on an election commission laughing about all the above. Guess we're the suckers.

A friend was asked to check out our Fulton Co. voting registers. I think she found only like 12 out of the first 40 homes even existed! She was on google maps and all over the place. She found burned down homes, addresses that didn’t exist, places where the literal median in the road had a fake street number as though it was a residence, a dog house with a number—- you name it! She was floored.

That's exactly what they are doing. I wonder how successful it will be this time around as their are numerous people around the country with a magnifying glass [the kind Jeff used to examine Kates videos- haha] keeping an eye on this.

The question is; what is being done about it. Watching a shoplifter steal and doing nothing does not prevent the crime. Perhaps trying to get a real conservative elected secretary of state and then holding their feet to the fire would work. Our previous (supposedly republican) secretary of state was informed of the bloated voter rolls and did nothing. Dereliction of duty exists in both parties.

Thank you Beckadee for using you gift of analytics to prove what has been happening to Americas voting voice for a long time. Why else would the left, through media and policy, attempt to stop all counter opinion, investigation, and open books to get to the truth? Because the truth will prove the lie.

@Beckadee Fractal computing is the solution! I wish Elon would boost Omega4america so more voters could see how powerful it is—and how screwed we are without it 😬

Just be aware they absolutely can and do change votes in the machines, Saw the documentary with the producers the other day and it explains so well how it is done. I had seen bits and pieces but never seen it all put together. People are going to have to work at the local level to get them removed.Everyone needs to see this. It is longish FYI. The premise is that we are all slaves because since votes are manipulated we are not really free.

Thanks for your support!!! I was a very heavy smoker from 16 until age 23 or 24. You could smoke everywhere in those days-- college classrooms! Planes! Restaurants! Offices! I didn't smoke again for about 40 years til I had a bf who smoked. Now I keep to 5-8 per day. I think I'm entitled to that after all those non-smoking years. Anyway, I'm not trying to live forever anymore. Light up and enjoy!
