Surely our griefs He Himself bore,

And our sorrows He carried;

Yet we ourselves esteemed Him stricken,

Smitten of God, and afflicted.

But He was pierced through for our transgressions,

He was crushed for our iniquities;

The chastening for our well-being fell upon Him,

And by His scourging we are healed.

All of us like sheep have gone astray,

Each of us has turned to his own way;

But the Lord has caused the iniquity of us all

To fall on Him . . .

As a result of the anguish of His soul,

He will see it and be satisfied;

By His knowledge the Righteous One,

My Servant, will justify the many,

As He will bear their iniquities.

— Isaiah 53:4-6, 11 NASB1995

Blessed Good Friday and joyous Resurrection Day, Jeff and C&C army.

If good, why do I yield to that suggestion

Whose horrid image doth unfix my hair

And make my seated heart knock at my ribs,

Against the use of nature? Present fears

Are less than horrible imaginings.

My thought, whose murder yet is but fantastical,

Shakes so my single state of man

That function is smothered in surmise,

And nothing is but what is not.

ā€œHave among yourselves the same attitude that is also yours in Christ Jesus, Who, though he was in the form of God, did not regard equality with God something to be grasped. Rather, he emptied himself, taking the form of a slave, coming in human likeness; and found human in appearance, he humbled himself, becoming obedient to death, even death on a cross. Because of this, God greatly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bend, of those in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."

Thank you for posting this scripture on this blessed day. It is very humbling to give full consideration that Christ died for my sins and what in physical and mental detail he bore for my iniquity. My prayers for forgiveness are and will be with renewed reverence and gratefulness. I feel compassion for Israel in end times when they see his marks of crucifixion. The grief! Pray for them today and all people who have not come to Him.

And so it's called "Good Friday" not sad Friday, or horrific Friday...but why??? Because the God of the Universe, The Mighty One of Israel, the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End, Lover of my soul and yours... laid down His life and counted it all joy to purchase us back with His Precious Blood. My Redeemer loves me so much, He suffered and died for me so that I could enjoy everlasting life with Him... and THAT is why is called Good Friday!!!

I read today that ā€œGoodā€ was translated from the word, ā€œHolyā€. The Friday of Jesus Crucifixion was considered a ā€œholyā€ day for centuries. To me, this makes sense, why we would call it Good or Great Friday, instead of Black Friday, which to my modern sensibities would be more appropriate. A ā€œholyā€ day because Good Friday was only part of what happened. Good Friday was the beginning, Resurrection Sunday was the end, (and the new beginning).

I like Good.... When I was a child, maybe 10 or 11, I thought about Jesus' horrific death on the cross and felt a tremendous sadness. At the same time, I had a strong conviction that it MUST happen that way. There was NO other way. It made for my salvation and yours. For many, many, many people saved. Now, it reminds me of the 6 days of Creation when, at the end of each day, God declares it is Good. The work that He has done for us, it is very Good!!!

We need to distinguish true Marxist/Communist/Socialist/Leftists from classic liberal Democrats. Also, Teddy Kennedy is not RFK Jr any more than my leftist sister is me.

I think one point is to vote for RFK Jr to beat Joe Biden in the primaries — RFK would be far better for our country than JRB and Kamala Harris. Then, RFK and whatever Republican wins the R primary could duke it out in the general.

Remember, Trump still boasts that he practically invented the Covid shots much as Al Gore claimed to have invented the Internet :-) So no man (or woman, assuming we know what a woman is) will be perfect.

Also note that many people (including myself) have changed their minds and hearts during this hideous CovidEra and its revelations. I’ve personally learned more than I ever expected about so much! I hope my honesty and integrity were unwavering, but my mind definitely changed as I opened it to new information and critical thinking.

So we should look at the totality of what a candidate did in the pre-Covid past as well as in the CovidEra and beyond. A change of heart and mind may be OK, especially if it shows a logical progression from ignorance to enlightenment.

Many liberal Democrats have become conservatives or are marooned politically because of what they learned during the eye-opening CovidEra. Examples include some great doctors: Paul Marik, Pierre Kory, Del Bigtree, Robert Malone, Peter McCullough.

DIscernment is vital in assessing the overwhemling amount of information we are being fed. Rather than jumping on every tidbit, really think before spreading statements that have little ground. It's interesting to observe how threads are so easily influenced by the next line someone contributes to the feed. We must realize wading through the MSM material is a challenge and we may never fully know what stories are true or false. Dark journalism is key and must be supported at all costs if we are to receive honest reporting. I support the candidacy of RFK Jr. and Donald Trump as they both have much to bring to the table.

Really important post! I support his candidacy without necessarily supporting his presidency because so many people I know still think that if the continuing atrocity of vaccines were really happening it would be in the "news". They cannot silence Kennedy if he is a candidate, but what you are saying is utterly true. Think of the military grade psyop the globe has been subjected to over these last three years. Those freaks are now going to turn that firepower, with its control of magazines, social media, academic and medical journals, paid shills, influencers, televsion, radio, a lot of congress, etc, on Kennedy as he threatens Big Ag, Big Bio-Medical Industrial Complex, Big Finance, Big Energy, the WEF, all the secret society agendas, the supposed green agenda (Amazon now blares that "every day is Earth Day" give me a freaking break with a little climate friendly icon of an hour glass with wings when probably Bezos' packaging is destroying all our virgin forests). He will be the target and locus of all of those interests so expect him to be accused of every single inflammatory issue at all political levels and all dimensions. What we all want, I would think, is for his voice to be heard because, now, as Bob Dylan sings, "the executioner's face is always well hidden." and we're all on a greased slide to CBDC, digital ID, forced vax, forced lack of cars, stoves, 15 minute cities ruled over by men in dresses. It will be a super tornado and California forest fire at the same time, in terms of misinformation, and it will go on relentlessly. We need to be awake to that.

They are sort of like the Dershowitz (Alan) and his wife in that he and his wife had happy liberal lives, well loved by their well insulated liberal haven of liberalness then he went and defended Trump. Once. Then he started defending the constitution. He said his wife said "enough already". Why? Because in this day and age if you veer even slightly off the dogmatic path, you get pushed from your society. They have been married probably forever. RFK Jr and that weird looking creature he is married to have but a few years under their belt. Some storms pop the rudder straight off and they get dashed upon the rocks. Others can rig something up to get them to port. Hope RFK Jr and his silly thing can make it to port. I hate to see any marriage die. Most any. Him running for president wont win them back their friends - unless it looks like he will win. There is an old song by Jimmie Cox called..." nobody knows you.". That is RFK, Jr. right now.

He's a good honest man - there's no way it could be true. I would never believe it. I may not agree with him on everything but he says what he means - like Trump. So one can make an educated and informed decision. He's not reading what other people write and lying about everything to subvert the system and telling people what they want to hear. He's open, transparent and fights for individual medical freedom. he's not an aXXhole politician who will say whatever it takes to get elected and take bribes and partake in payoffs. Therefore, he's already better than 75% of elected officials and 99% of Dem's. So in theory, I would vote for him but never ever against Trump or Desantis or Youngkin or Kari Lake or any MAGA candidate. However, I would LOVE to see him run, win the nomination and put his party to shame with his honesty and integrity and anti-vaxx campaign. I would def contribute. GO RFK JR!

He has however angered his own family with his anti vax opinions which incidentally are looking more and more like fact… the real science. His anti vax work and his children’s health coalition are extremely impressive. It’s the abortion stance and climate change that I would like to hear him explain.

Within ONE week, I learned from church friends about 5 sudden deaths, all friends or family of those reporting. One was a high school age girl. The others: a 50 year old man died in his sleep, a 57 year old woman sat down to watch a movie at home and died, a 60 year old man died suddenly of a heart attack, and a 30 something year old man died suddenly of a heart attack. We have a friend, fully vaxxed and boosted, who was diagnosed with diabetes, then almost immediately with aggressive pancreatic cancer. Her prognosis is extremely poor. One of our pastors who was vaxxed, has been unable to work since early January. He has been repeatedly sick and is said to have autoimmune issues. A close friend was severely injured after a booster last May and has, so far, been unable to return to her family's ministry in Central America. It looks as if they are going to have to close down the ministry. I could go on and on. How are so many still blind? Is it willful blindness or just stupidity?

Yup! My fully vaxxed & boosted brother in law died recently of clogged arteries and failed kidneys. But he was 71 and a lifelong diabetic so his death is automatically assumed to be from his diabetes. And I’m sure it played a part. But so did the shots! So many deaths in people over 50 not being connected due to other health factors. You can not see that for which you do not look.

I live in a small foothills area with a lot of over 60's. I also read the obits, but the large number of sudden deaths in the 30s , 40s and 50s has been shocking. We still have a lot of older people dying at very old ages as they always have, so they've obviously survived covid lunacy. But the younger ones....

I heartily wish our leftist friends would stop throwing the term ā€œfascistā€ at everyone until they’ve spent five minutes looking up what it means. Government intervention with and control of industry, just for the sake of argument let’s say pharma and the media, is a lot closer to what is actually happening with the Biden Administration than with a bunch of legislators in Tennessee tossing ill-mannered colleagues to the curb, but no matter. They will persist in their ignorance.

Our school board elections were Tuesday. Worked very hard for 3 common-sense conservatives candidates who were put through h*ll the last few months by the name callers: -'book banners'- for wanting to remove porn from the school libraries

'transphobes' - for standing against boys in girl's sports and bathrooms

'homophobes' - for not speaking up for LGBT xyz whatever the letters are kids

'science deniers' - for saying they would never have voted to mask kids

and 'insurrectionist' for the candidate who was in DC on Jan 6 (but not the capitol building)

The vote was close, but only one of the 3 won. Two leftists with an agenda to continue the DEI marxist rhetoric won with an endorsement by the NEA (teachers VOTE), constantly saying they would support 'all students' and other virtue signaling BS. They were more effective at getting out the vote I guess, and very effective at making labels stick. Heard 'book banners' all the -ists, and insurrectionist while door knocking, outside the polls, and on social medial all season long. And you couldn't talk sense to people. Sad and discouraged, as I thought I lived in a red city, but evidently conservatives are too lazy to even show up to vote. 14% turnout.

Yes, we have a slew of Monday morning quarterbacks, saying our slate was 'weak candidates'. All 3 were everyday people, 2 with school age kids and one grandfather, who had never run for office, and before covid, never even paid attention to politics, who stepped up and said 'enough'. So, no, they were not scripted by PR professionals. No, they did not have huge war chests. Yes, they made a misstep or 2 saying things the left chopped into soundbites and spread all over social media (one said covid was a bad cold and people should have had more Vit D and C) BUT on the other hand, people love to bitch about 'professional politicians' who don't say anything their consultants hasn't approved, and skirt answering questions, and put out a fake veneer of respectability. The leftist candidates were coached, scripted and had piles of money from outside our city, and ran as moderates. but their minions and donors did all the bashing.

And yet MINORS can check this book out of the school library?! You can't make this stuff up.

Great idea, but the problem is, at the door, you typically have about 30 seconds to make your pitch before they tune you out and shut the door in your face or agree with you. I am a yakker, and do sometimes get into debates with people, and every once in a while, they are actually good conversations, but that too is a double edged sword. When you have a team of people out there and one of us is a yakker, I get left behind and then have to hunt everyone else down. Plus its a numbers game, long convos at every door means you don't hit that many doors. So I try to strike a middle ground. One relatively wealthy donor toyed with the idea of mailing out one of the books to his neighborhood, but just settled for a hand signed letter instead.

Jackson County/Kansas City suburb. Yes, MO has gone from a swing state to a red state. BUT we have issues. One, D's run as R's for the legislature as we don't have party registration/closed primaries. And then good legislation gets killed. Two, R's are complacent and don't fight back or pay attention. The Elks lodge had drag queen story hour in a red county next to ours (Johnson County) and only a dozen people showed up to protest. Deep red Cass County (whose county commissioner banned covid restrictions) just elected 3 lefties to the school board. (non partisan election so most probably had no idea who they were voting for).

Yep--that's exactly what they do. Do you know what Obamanation was before he came out of NOWHERE to be the DEM candidate in 2008? He was an NEIGHBORHOOD ORGANIZER and "activist for human rights" in Chicago. The people with power and wealth in the progressive camp of the DEM party had "groomed" Obama for YEARS before they "released" him to the public eye. I've seen photos of him from the mid 1990's and he was scruffy looking with really bad teeth and NOT married. "Michelle" - you can't find any photos of "her" from that time period--only in the early 2000's. Transformation from one sex to another takes YEARS of hormones and surgery and "counseling".

You are doing good work. Most peeps in my area are in fact, Indifferent, and just want "Regular Life" back, whatever that means to them. I keep trying to educate peeps on what is really happening, but most don't want to put out any real effort.

I think that engaging them with questions, inductively inquiring their positions on topics, is the way to start.

I can sense your energy, and I know how urgent the issues upon us are.

I'm in CA, and I can tell you from my conversations with peeps, there are a TON of peeps that were former Dem's that are really truly middle of the road politically, but are seeing how Wacked/Crazy the left has become. That is a good sign here. I am a good example as I never really understood politics, but have read furiously over the last 3-4 years and am now caught up.

I credit an interview of Dave Rubin, Brett Weinstein, Jordan Peterson, and was it Douglas Murray? that created an interest for me to learn more, as they seemed Intelligent and balanced.

A lot of people say politics is boring, ugly, corrupt, etc. Easy button to not engage I guess. I grew up in a political household. I was 7 when Roe went down and my parents had us out there marching around planned parenthood. My late dad was an 'old school' D and very involved , remember going door to door with him in grade school. We talked politics at the dinner table. I left the D reservation in the 80's., although still supported a few D's here and there up until the Obama years when the party took a hard left turn. My dad was starting to see the light before he passed in 2014. It's just in my blood I guess, have always been involved but most of my friends just don't 'get it'. Have a new tribe since covid but lots of people new to all this, and new folks make lots of rookie mistakes. But we are all learning and need to quit bickering over tactics and unite under one big strategy grounded on the things we can all agree on. And that's locally, regionally, and nationally. Thank you for stepping up and getting educated!! My sister is in So Cal and a lonely conservative. She dipped her toe in the water back in 2020 and got involved with the Trump campaign but has since thrown up her hands due to ballot harvesting.

I messaged her and told her to vote for Athena Brattin, but no idea if she did.

Yes, met Athena several times and hope she stays in the fight, she is impressive and her hubby is a pretty good state senator too. One of our losing candidate's wives called me yesterday asking how she could get involved in school choice movement. I reached out to someone I thought was with Concerned Women of America's local chapter as I thought they advocated for that. This person said she resigned in March, needed a break from politics for a while. (It can burn you out) BUT she said they do not support 'dollars follow student' because with federal dollars come federal strings. If the dollars are Fed, they will want to come in and regulate, monitor or restrict private schools and home schools. I have several homeschooling friends who are against school choice as they want to be left alone. Something to think about anyway. MO's current limited school choice is a 'scholarship' and so I think that avoids the Fed issue.

There are 2 election boards - Kansas City, and the rest of Jackson county. Conservatives win in JaCo but lose as KC has a bigger population and cancels out JaCo votes. Freedom Inc and the D machine run KC like the mafia. Conservatives made a valiant effort at inroads on the KC council and were mostly trounced on Tuesday.

Yes, the heat is enormous, and having run for City Council (and lost) back in 2018, it does consume your life.

Lots of ways to get involved besides running for office.

All elected officials have emails and phone numbers and most have social media accounts. The left is very active in all of the above. Conservatives, eh, not so much. There is a small active group of us but not nearly enough and not sure how to motivate them. The usual excuses: jobs, family, etc. We all have those too. Priorities!

Well, we as fallen humans are full of every sort of sin and perversion right? Some have chosen to claw at the edges of acceptability in society and I suppose that is where society pushes back or lies down. don;t discount the persuasiveness of the power of suggestion. everyone, like it or not, will believe in something. The choice is not really varied. It is Good (God) or Evil (Sin in fallen world).

Now, I write the following for anyone else reading. It is well known to you!

God didn't create mistakes. Everyone has a purpose (we don't have to understand it). But ours is a fallen world. God set out the parameters for man and man was given free will and opted to violate them. Life is not without consequence. We in the fallen world (satan's domain for now)is full of those with unregenerate heart, loving sin and in some cases, having evil thoughts constantly! Luckily God has provided us a remedy to the death in sin (the consequence of choices), His Holy, once and for all sacrifice of His son Christ, who died on the cross for the sins of everyone and 3 days later defeated sin and death by rising from the dead to ascend to heaven and the right hand of God. Trans people, adulterers, liars, thieves, evil minded (all of us!)... all are called to repentance (turning away) for our sins and belief in our one and only savior (Christ) saving us from ultimate and permanent death and separation from our creator God. Hallelujah!

Angela there was not one pastor who chose to speak last night. Not one. But lay people did. I agree, there is plenty to say in the next breath! We are a nation full of silent christians. May it be no more!

I’m simply saying that the pulpit needs to denounce that behavior loudly and assertively. There are a few churches that have taken that stance but that example is not followed everywhere.

We passed through Utah recently. Spent a night in Provo and went to a popular hamburger place near BYU and I couldn't help but notice how wholesome and happy college students and high school kids alike who crammed the place looked. I felt like I was looking at something out of the '90s. You just wouldn't see normal looking kids like that in a lot of places on the West Coast.It was fascinating

YES! Everyone who votes in these 'non-partisan' elections needs to scrutinize their candidates very closely. The left has mastered the 'run as a moderate' stance and then once elected, make a sharp left turn. Lots of handwringing in our local media about how non-partisan elections have become too partisan. I say, bring it. Make candidates show their colors in advance. Of course they can still lie. We don't have party registration in MO, but we have some legislators trying to pass registration and closed primaries so D's can't vote for weak Rs in the primaries and run as R's as easily. But a lot of my friends are against it as they think registering as an R means their ballot won't get counted.

UT has closed primaries. It seems to work. There are a lot of D's who would vote in the primaries as an R trying to get the liberal candidate in. But here we have Mitt Romney. I am trying to keep it clean so I will let the name just lie there and stink up the CnC comment section.

I hope MO retains a conservative nature. You have a good Atty Gen tho. That will keep a lot of wolves from breaching the fence.

Is Mitt in his last, and only, term? I can't imagine Utah conservative sending him back to the Senate. What's the talk on the ground there about him?

Well. It is complicated here in Utah. Yes, Mormons (who run the joint) are conservative, but are globalists and minders (generally speaking. Very generally). Mitt Romney is a rich Mormon who most conservatives hate. Do the Mormon leaders? I dunno. We also have the issue of MANY new people coming to our state from CA and CO (mostly, as far as I can tell) who fled their state for a variety of reasons, but instead of embracing conservatism (because the proof is in the puddin), they write love letters to Romney and vow to register as R's and vote for the down lo lib running as a R. At least that is the state of affairs in my area of Utah. Salt Lake City is Liberalville. Also known as a hell hole.

Well that's unfortunate.

We were just last week going through Utah on a national parks trip, which was super enjoyable. Stopped one night in Provo on the way home, because I always wanted to see that City and BYU, etc. Enjoyed it. We ate at a popular burger joint near BYU and I was amazed at how sane and happy looking the teens and college age people looked who had crammed into the place.

Your description of Mormons also explains why our financial advisor, who happens to be mormon, didn't react negatively when I mentioned the w e f. I thought that was strange. Now I guess it makes sense. šŸ˜’

I really like living in my area of Utah. People are nice, it is clean and well planned out with lots of parks (national, state, local) and plenty of things to do if you are an outdoors person and enjoy athletic pursuits. Tons of things for families. It is very family oriented. A non Mormon teen might find it difficult I suspect. They get serious about dating (since marriage minded) and if you are not a Mormon, you are not an option. Generally speaking ; ). Masking did not last long here in the general public, but most everyone jabbed. Because... the church is globalist and they decreed jab. Not all of them. I know some awesome rogues. If you are at all considering Utah as a place to live, try a trip thru S. Utah. We could use some more conservative minded ppl.

That's where we were--southeast Utah (Moab, etc) for the National Parks all clustered down there (Arches, Canyonlands, Capitol Reef, etc). We have always enjoyed our travels thru Utah, though we were amazed being there the last week of March how incredibly changeable the weather was! Got caught in a whiteout blizzard in Canyonlands that was over in a couple hours and we were hiking there with all the views, etc. soon after! Oops, just noticed that b/c I'm using a family member's computer that the handle/name is not mine, but this is Monterey on someone else's computer/account. :-)

You should check out some flash flood videos from summer of 22 canyonlands and Moab. Whew.

Besides the stunningly witty and sarcastic humor crammed into every C&C post, I have grown to appreciate the overall birds-eye view of news and commentary. You deserve a medal for wading through all of the muck and mire of leftist/deep state insanity to bring your readers the latest. I stopped partaking of state-affiliated propaganda in 2020, so I appreciate your round-ups! So, something occurred to me last night that I wanted to run by you. I have noticed the alarming increase in leftist/"progressive" insanity overall - because let's face it, did any of us think three years ago that such a huge percentage of the world population could all become unhinged at the same time? So, I wonder, could the lunacy have ANTHING to do with a certain chemical cocktail that was (in many cases) repeatedly injected into people's arms to stave off fear of catching a mostly mild flu? Could that be a possible causative link to the mass psychosis we see everywhere today?? Just wondering....

Only commenting on the reference to Weimar made by Celayne Jones made in reference to the Roman Empire. Both the latter and the former "imploded" from within. One of a republic's or a nation's or a city's sure signs of demise is the normalization of sexual pervasion. This ran rife through Berlin during Weimar, wrecking the city and making it almost completely unsafe.

I have heard from others who know far more than I on the topic of Germany that one of the first things you-know-who did was to take a "flamethrower" (channeling Al Pacino in "Scent of a Woman") to Berlin. He ordered the burning of all the garbage "books" and the cleaning up of all the prostitution, etc.

Same reason they put on other mandates ten days or so after an announcement of such. Remember? Everyone has to wear a mask starting in two weeks.

Because there is no emergency!!

But there is a need to control the population and make them do what they want. To flex their muscles and say -I made them put their masks on or get the jab on the date I specified. I am in control!! The peasants do as they are told!

Jeff: There is a shortage of forensic pathologists. For six years, Brown County, WI shipped bodies to Madison for autopsies. In 2022, they finally hired a local medical examiner who handles autopsies for THREE counties. The coroners are making stuff up to clear the backlog. My dad had a jab 8 days before he died. Yeah, he was 85 and he had a heart condition. Two days before he died I took him to the doc for a routine physical. BP was 120/76. The death certificate said he died from hypertension and atherosclerosis. Obviously, no autopsy was done to determine this. It’s a best guess. If he had looked at my dad’s medical records, he would’ve known hypertension was not an issue.

They don't have the benefit of reading Coffee and Covid.

But if you read behind the lines, it doesn't seem like they are lying about the cause of death. (Caveat: I am not a medical professional)

According to Google: "ischemic" means "some part of your body isn't getting enough blood, so it's not getting enough oxygen."

And "atherosclerotic" means "the build-up of fats, cholesterol, and other substances in and on the artery walls."

So "Ischemic Heart Disease and Atherosclerotic Coronary Artery Disease" means "lack of oxygen to the heart because of build-up of substances in the arteries."

And if the jabs cause clots, and clots block arteries, then it's right there, behind all the technical medical jargon.

Back to the trans wars, school violence and unstable children with guns-- while I have not kept records it appears to me that a vast majority of the biological boys who have taken up weapons and murdered their school mates, teachers, and others have been either on pharmaceutical "anti-depressants" and other prescribed brain chemistry altering drugs, or gender confused, or both.

In my very personal opinion the damaged child is the weapon, not the gun. If an unstable and murderous young man wants to kill people there are many ways to go about it.

Yes, military assault weapons are convenient and deadly, but shouldn't we be looking at WHY so many of our kids are so profoundly and so horribly damaged, emotionally, mentally and spiritually???

I ask you to deeply consider the behavior of someone very ill and very toxic. Full of chemicals which may destabilize the mind, and can turn any ordinary person's into a suicidal time bomb or a suddenly lethal spouse.

All of the strong psychological drugs are associated with these events, and while pharma says they are "rare," well that's what they always say, right?

And, while this may not be common knowledge, today's vaccines contain Primitive Human DNA from the aborted cell lines and tissue used to culture them on. As it is Human DNA the baby's body doesn't clear it well, and "insertional mutagenisis" can occur where it combines with the DNA of the child. Think about this. If a boy gets the DNA from a girl, it is reasonable given the science and the blood volume of the child that this could create gender confusion, especially as the United States is insanely "jab happy" and gives theses injections at absolutely mad rates.

And of course there are all the nasty endocrine disrupters and estrogen mimicking chemicals laced throughout our food, our water, the plastics we rely on, etc., etc., etc., not to mention the pressure put on the hormonal system of a youth on "puberty blockers!"

Our society is insane indeed if it will torture our kids chemically and biologically TO THE POINT WHERE THEY DO NOT KNOW IF THEY ARE BOYS OR GIRLS.

I pray for all Americans to wake the f' up, start digging, and really "grok" that pharma and the chemical companies are likely at the bottom of this witches hell brew, and start DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT!

I was involved in advocacy for children with chronic illnesses for over 10 years. I agree entirely. We have the sickest generations of kids the world’s ever seen. Bobby Kennedy has been asking why for decades now… when no one else could bother to care.

I’d add to your excellent list above… the epi-genetics of medications that the parents have taken too… as possible exposures passed on to their offspring.

For example, there’s a large number of women who have been on acutaine … who then went on to have babies with autism. This is not even something the drug companies are considering in safety trials … the possible effect on babies born to people have been on this drug many years prior. Or women who wore contact lenses when saline solutions contained Thimerosal, a preservative commonly found in soft contact lens solutions. We live in a sea of constant toxins.

Thank you, Truthseeker for bringing up a VERY important fact I left out- the dangerous and damaging drugs given to the pregnant mothers, during pregnancy and even the ones she has been exposed to before pregnancy, which often are sequestered in her body and "off-loaded" into the first child at high levels.

This is uncommon knowledge but it is real also.

We are paying a very high price for our drug and chemical delusions. They are not safe. They are not beneficial and the more we steep ourselves and our children in them the worse it will be for human health.

YES, we need to look into why. Years ago I read that most shooters were on SSRIs, which are not even approved for children. But I think we need to look beyond that.... why are they on SSRIs? Does a teacher or parent just want the kid to sit down and shut up, or are they depressed? If so, why are they depressed? Home life? Parents who can't be bothered to spend time with the kid? Eating a steady diet of processed crap? No physical activity? Social media? All of the things you mentioned, such as water, plastic, etc.? A combination of all of the above? Until we look at what is driving the depression of kids and work on fixing this, nothing will change.

My oldest son owns and operates a company with long-standing relationships with county coroner's, in several states. At the onset if the plandemic, many, if not most revealed to him, that they were being instructed/pressured by state health departments to list cause of death as cv19 in their reports. At that time, states were incentivised by Big pharma and the feds. It is probable that, the same pressure is being applied with regard to jab deaths. Many medical examiners are under the same influence, as well.

Mercks $4.85 billion for Vioxx payout. These also included criminal charges. Yet, they’re still out there making pharmaceuticals that they know kill people!!
