Boeing spaceship is back; mosquito lockdowns surprisingly questioned; Hunter pleads guilty; Trump sentencing schedule change; Georgia shooting update; DOJ declares war on influencers; more.
We also brought Grandpa (101 yo) home after his last visit to the ER... Be prepared for LOTS more work and concerns regarding his wellbeing. Prayers for the entire Childers household.
Agree Juju, parents leave us much too soon in most cases. Having Mr. Childers senior condition improving is a statement about our free medical system. Free as possible anyway.
I've taught public middle school for 14 years. Middle Schools should be outlawed, They are brutal. Too many kids of one age group trapped together. It's like a giant caged match.
I also went to a junior high school 7th - 9th grades. They switched to the middle school model when I moved up to 10th grade, so we brought the 9th graders with us. To sum up, my class was the top dog (9th graders) at the junior high and we were never freshmen at the high school!
In Florida, the switch to middle schools happened, I believe in the early 70s. I had an education class in which I was amazed to learn that my home county, Walton, was piloting a fabulous middle school Open Classrooms experiment and it was exciting and having wonderful results. They had actually taken down the classroom walls so students could navigate to whatever classes they wanted. They being so mature at that age and all. Unrestricted learning. What could possibly go wrong, Bill Ayers and Timothy Leary?
At some point I was back in Walton County, working alongside teachers at the middle school. The walls were back in place. I told them about how they had been spotlighted as a wonderful example of Open Classroom teaching at the University of Florida. I got a chorus of ‘It was a disaster and the stupidest idea ever to come out of academia.’
Coming off experimentation with LSD and liberal use of Mary Jane throughout the 60s, the number of idiots and idiotic notions put into practice in the early seventies rivals today. It’s just that the sexual perversions have now matured and metastasized, which makes the impact so much worse for children. But for everyone really.
And can’t anyone tell me, marijuana is harmless. I lost many brain cells to the evil weed. And, yeah, I know, people with stage four cancer need it so it must be legal and available to all. Whatever. I saw Dr.’s sons lose their way and end up with menial jobs because… ‘Who cares?’
Way to go Renea! If at possible I implore parents to get kids out of government schools. It looks like in this case the Georgia shooter was in a very poor family situation, almost impossible for any adolescent to survive. In this case it's like a pack of hyenas picking the weakest victim from the herd. Unfortunately today woke schools are just another dog in the pack.
We had elementary, junior high and high school but those divisions were pretty meaningless because my school was so small we were all in the same building 😆😛
Around 500 kids, total, in K - 12. My daughter's graduating class, in a relatively small city school, had around 120. So, yeah. But the divisions still felt pretty real. Junior high was when we started changing classrooms, which was awesome!
Ditto - and I can tell you from my friends who taught "middle school"--these are most difficult years in any kids' life...and to throw in the menage of Marxist dogma and LGBTQ nonsense--it's enough to make ANYONE 'anxious and mentally imbalanced'!!
Why did they 'create' middle schools in the first place? I know my sons' went there...and hated it--elementary and high school were fine and dandy--not 'middle school'. That's when my two sons experienced the most bullying.
Are you younger than 50? If so...I understand your mindset. I am 77 years young and when I 'matriculated" - Grades 1 - 6 were in "elementary school" and Grades 7 - 12 were in High School (one building) - the Junior High (7-9) were in different 'sectors' of the 'one building' location. We didn't 'intermingle' with the 'upper classes" - except "sometimes" in the "School Assemblies" which were held intermittently throughout the school year.
And I walked from my 6th grade class to the local YMCA for riflery class & practice. There were no school shootings as I recall (1961–3), though there was a presidential assassination, IIRC.
I wonder what has changed? Not the Second Amendment, not basic biology (XY, XX). But : no prayer in schools, divorce rates, single parent households, SSRIs, # of MK Ultra victims?
Why does the MSM focus on the things that haven’t changed and ignore the things that have changed???
Too many kids on prescribed drugs for one thing or another. Too much video games. Too little community service. Not enough religious education. Yada yada yada.
I went to church school grade 1-8. ("Kindergarten"was spent at home with my mother.) Then 9-12 at the faith based HS. No school shooting back then in the late 50s, early 60s.
When I entered 1st grade in 1963, grades were 1 through 12 were all one one campus. By 1970, the County had built a junior high school for grades 7 and 8 and a high school for grades 9 through 12. Junior high was brutal.
The local school where I live is crazy huge 😳 One single class level at the high school has 600-800 kids in it 😳 There are more kids at the high school than there were at my college!! There are two middle schools and they’re also big. I do think they try to mitigate that with certain smaller groupings of students followed throughout their years in the school by a group of teachers and admins but there is no way that with so many kids, a good number don’t fall through the cracks 😞 I personally am very opposed to these monster schools. They claim the objective is to streamline services and offer a wider variety of class options (as well as better sports teams but no one comes out and says that really). But I think it’s more about the superintendents getting paid bigger bucks and the sports aspect. I don’t think it serves the students very well at all, for the most part, save perhaps the most exceptional ones in academics or sports. But the rest lose more than they gain imo.
From a middle school counselor. To make the transition to HS easier. Not sure transition from 8th grade directly to 9th harmed me or any of my friends. Big change sure. Just did it, did what was expected of us. Adjusted to it.
I went to Elementary school from first grade (1966) through 4th grade (1970) and then went to Middle school for fifth & sixth grade. The new High school was built at that time with 7th & 8th graders having their own wing attached, so after Middle school, I began attending a high school. I believe that was the start of eliminating Junior High schools in my area.
Agree! Lots of the middle school angst and aggression could be ameliorated because with the bigger transition from elementary, those leaning towards bullying are in awe of being in high school with gasp, upper class-men. Not a teacher, so I could be wrong, but agree that middle school is a terrible time for our youth.
Actually I went to a school that was 1-7 then 8th graders went to another entirely separate school. We had 9-10 graders together and then an 11th-12th Senior High. Seems like lots of separations, but I don’t ever remember bullying or school shootings.
On a subject I know to be near and dear to you - I found this in my inbox very recently, not sure if you follow Steve Kirsch? But you will likely find it interesting (and maddening!):
When I started homeschooling my kids, a neighbor who teaches grades 6-12 art at a private Christian school told me that whatever I decided to do about homeschool going forward, to homeschool my daughter in middle school, especially 8th grade. She said "I don't know what happens to girls in 8th grade but they become demons. 6th grade, 7th grade, not too bad but 8th grade, they come back just hateful."
Focus on the Family, Dr. James Dobson said on many occasions, if you are going to homeschool your children, do it during the middle school years as that is the time when hormones are beginning to rage, and kids can be mean. Give your tweens the opportunity to build their character and to encourage them in their identity in Christ.
Parochial schools go from K to 8th grade. After that, high school. I attended one. I do not remember any issues with the classmates who I literally grew up with from 6 years old.
My three children attended a Catholic parochial school from K to 8th grade. It was the same school I attended years before. It's a sacrifice for parents to do.
Have things changed in the last 50 years? Yes, even in a Catholic parochial school. But still, it's not nearly as bad as the surrounding culture and the public schools. It's worth it.
I don’t remember seeing any of that in my experience, but I do know it is fairly common knowledge that girls self-esteem tends to plummet when they reach puberty. Of course, some people will overcompensate with unpleasant behavior. I think social media has brought out the worst in the young people. At one gym I belonged to, so many times I would see a young woman in the locker room with a cell phone standing in front of a long mirror, taking pictures of her butt. Undoubtedly to post on social media or at least send to a boyfriend. What amazes me is they were not even embarrassed to be doing this, with other people witnessing it. I was looking at a video of a popular New England band NRBQ performing at a club back in the late 70s or early 80s. What struck me was that the girls were so natural. They were wearing sweatshirts and jeans, not flaunting body parts, little or no make up, seemingly putting on no airs, just having a ball, and the boys were too .I am so glad I grew up back then.
Middle school is a time when kids emotional disconnection becomes more apparent and emotional connection is the most important thing they need at that age. When they don’t have support of the people (parents/family/friends/trusted authority figures) and it all dismantles, hopelessness is what happens and we then have the scenario of suicide, school shootings and mental health issues and also behavioral like bullying ect…that age is hard for most but life or death for those without a support system. This Colt did not have this. In any shape or form. His dad seemed to love him in his very misguided way but also had massive issues of his own. His own aunt said the kid was crying out for help and no one showed up. Not to mention the dad moved him away to alienate more. My son and all of his friends went thru a difficult middle school years, right smack in the pandemic. What he needed was to have someone in his camp, and I was there. Many 3 am conversations and much much more. And consistently and love- always. And it breaks my heart so many children do not have that. I don’t say that to pat my back, it was just being a parent. My parents were that to me too. But that is what our society lacks, and actively pushes good loving parenting away and undermines it. I think we will see much more of this until we can fix this cycle.
Mass advertising drives a lot of that drop in self-esteem because it tells them that they aren't as good in anyway as they could be if they used the advertised product.
I too am glad I grew up in the way back era. However, by 11th grade, I strongly suspected that we were not getting a rigorous education. That was when we first started reading the Greek tragedies, Shakespeare and Homer. Compared to what we were getting before then, a total waste.
And parents who can should get kids outside of the public schools and into rigorous study. Also, most home schooling needs to be upgraded.
Totally agree. Homeschoolers measure themselves by the standard of the institutional school paradigm and this is the wrong measuring stick. I homeschooled my two boys and started by rejecting the institutional model. If nothing else, trying to duplicate that model will produce burn-out for the parents, something that I heard parents complaining about constantly at homeschool conventions.
You confirm what little I have seen in the various home school curricula which themselves to look to be rather dumbed down. So in that way, I relate to what you are saying.
I know that any home school education has to fit the kid according to his or her capacity to learn, but I totally thought home schooling could be much, much more rigorous. As you say, they are using the wrong measuring stick. And please, let them stop mimicking the idiots in the public schools. Let's have excellence as the standard.
I had one motto when I was homeschooling my boys which I stole from the movie "Stand and Deliver": "Children will rise to the level of your expectations." Unfortunately, that usually meant the expectations were too low. Let that sink in.
I had one goal which I clearly communicated to my sons: "You are going to have the tools to do anything you want in life." It didn't matter to me if they wanted to be a janitor or the world's best physicist.
I had one model for the curriculum: The 3 Rs... Reading/wRiting/aRithmetic.
This curriculum is adaptable to the needs of any child and any environment. Except for the basic phonic skills and the basic 1-2-3s of math, this curriculum is NOT teacher intensive. Instead, it is a self-study program that only requires your supervision, just as if you are in college. It works.
Body-shamed, inhibited, and stigmatized into modesty and covering up without even realizing it. How Puritanical and repressed the older generations were. Liberation has had its' price but won't it all be great when progressively culminated into a sexual utopia of all genders and urges and desires?
Yea, the same neighbor also said something like "gee, let's take all those middle school kids with raging hormones and throw them all together in one place at one time because that's genius." I also read a book that said middle school is a weird place, boys look like they could be in elementary school and girls look like they could be in college.
Those years are just a hormonal hot mess. You are going from a child to an adult. Nothing you can do about it but hold on for the roller-coaster ride. As I told my 13 year old niece - "you are a caterpillar coming out as a 🦋 and the process is not particularly pretty but necessary. The best is yet to come."
I’ve seen this too, with my friends and their kids. Even in 7th grade 😕 Even if their kids aren’t changing that way, they are certainly affected by the other girls becoming nasty and hateful and vicious 😕
My daughter was absolutely horrible from about 12-15. At 12, it was like a light switch was flipped and she just got manipulative and mean. Mostly to me. I know it was her way of coping with the bitchy girls at school, and it really improved once she started high school. She’s 26 now and awesome, I thank the Lord for maturity regularly!
My boys mostly got impulsive and a little dumb during puberty, like ‘uhh I didn’t know that was going to happen.’ I remember thinking… the day you can see just 10 minutes into the future, everything is going to change. It did. But dang, puberty is hard.
I taught middle school for 20 years and have to say there are so many advantages to K-8 schools. In general, they foster a respect for life. When big kids interact with young children, they see the value and humanity in those young, innocent lives. By separating them it’s easier to gently mold a general disrespect for life and lead them to a place where “reproductive health” (aka killing babies) trumps that value. I really think it’s all part of the plan to destroy the family and make idols into gods.
There is another clear advantage in my experience…when big kids know little kids (with whom they have a connection and whom they value) are looking up to them, that position of role model often helps big kids mature into responsible citizens. They don’t want to let their little friends down. K-8 schools are just so much better.
Amen to this. If had to do it over, I would 100% homeschool grades 5-8 and possibly even take them internationally so they could experience other cultures. Ugh. Hindsight is 20-20.
I think schools need to have an across-the-board no bullying policy. Doesn’t matter if it is based on sexual orientation, religion, skin, color, different taste in clothes, etc. The school does not have to discuss why someone is being bullied , or issues involved , and just focus on the people doing it. Also, I would put money on it that that kid was on psychiatric drugs. The kid had already demonstrated that he was very disturbed, and even his mother has been in trouble with the law. Buying that kid an assault rifle was nuts. I am not against all guns, but this was common sense, which apparently his father did not possess. He was a tragedy, waiting to happen. But I am sick and tired of this cover-up of the effect of all the psychiatric drugs.
Bar none, middle school was flat out the most awful, treacherous, insidious part of growing up ever inflicted on our human population. I have two girls who are 4 years apart. Just when I was recovering from the 1st daughter, I had to go through it again. My hair turned white, I had constant diarrhea from the stress, and I re-lived my own middle school trauma through second hand PTSD, although this time it was MUCH worse with iphones and social media. Because, sure, let's add a live emotional grenade to the whole thing and really shake things up. Thank you Alison for your comment LOL - I feel vindicated!
When I was teaching high school, I covered at a middle school once. ONCE. It reaffirmed my conviction that children that age should be kept in cages until puberty has run its course.
It's probably good that I left the profession, I admit.
I taught middle school for 21 years. Then I transferred to high school to finish my career. I honestly don’t believe that I could teach in a public school environment today… at least not in a big city. Kudos to you. Hang in there. 🙏
My friend also taught middle school for many years before having her children. She said she’d never send her kids to a public school and decided to homeschool them. Funny enough, I met her at a homeschool function and found out her husband worked for Newsome and they were VERY liberal. I guess seeing the terrible conditions red pilled her. Unfortunately, not on all social issues, but I think it was still a win.
I wholeheartedly concur! I've taught Sunday school for 43 yrs. 4th and 5th grade. I teach them The Word. I also tell them what they're heading into..... a mind field! Stand firm on what you've learned. Love Jesus, love your fellow man. Pray on your knees. When things start to go awry waste no time in running to your parents, grandparents, minister, youth leader, Sunday school teacher; the ones who represent love, calm, and care. You are never, ever alone! I am always available.
Our eldest daughter was pushed out the emergency exit of the school bus during a hastily called fire alarm drill. She suffered a broken leg. This was in the early 90s. I was not called until a parent snitched and let me know she was injured. They carried her to class... "she's faking it!" The second I heard, I drove over to retrieve her. The PE coach carried her to my car. I was already taking my 90 yr old grandmother from the nursing home to ortho for sever hip pain... daughter patiently waited. After dropping my grandmother off at the nursing home, my ex-hubby and I took her to her ortho visit. We left with a large cast and crutches... My dad was the auditor for the School Board. He reported the incident and included the hospital bill. They paid but refused to address the students who caused the problem. That ruined my perception of safety in middle school.
That's similar to our local district's model. We have the early education school (preK and K), Primary (1-3) Intermediate (4-6), Jr. High (7-8) and High School (9-12). One really nice feature is all the school are on one campus so it is more like a community.
From what I have observed children today are reaching physical maturity earlier (hormones in food?) but emotionally maturing later (if at all). I think part of the problem is the lack of rigor in schools. There is virtually no discipline leading to feral children roaming the halls and all manor of poor treatment of others. There are many school models throughout the globe which can be observed and measured as to outcomes and perhaps some of those things integrated into our system. Funds following the student and failing teachers being fired would be a good start. Of course, it all starts at home so lowering the divorce rate and having one parent stay home would also help. My two cents (along with a lot of my property tax money).
I am really starting to question graded education altogether. I don't think it is effective in its current iteration if it ever was. I would do so many things differently were I raising my kids today. So many things.
I agree with the pacing comment. I also think we truly need to return to teaching the basics and not worry about social engineering all the time. Expose young children to really good stories. Start there. Develop their ability to picture things in their minds through really descriptive writing. Inevitably, kids who read a lot become really good writers almost by osmosis. After literacy (and adjacently, the physical act of writing - not keyboarding), focus on numeracy. Go back to memorizing times tables and the like. Yes, kids need to understand the underlying mathematical concepts, but don't tell them there are different "right answers" for things like 2+2. Further, don't inject social-emotional learning in any lesson. None at all. It is a distraction and only reinforces an emotional vulnerability in kids (obviously there may instances when a child displays real signs of distress and that is a different thing, but asking kids every thirty minutes, "how do you feel?" - and yes, that is happening in schools - is counterproductive and I would argue harmful).
My father was responsible for my learning to count change and memorizing the multiplication tables, the latter being a waste of time with a calculator in every smart phone. What is social-emotional learning? Is that another term for neuro-linguistic programming?
Good luck getting kids to make change nowadays. They literally can't do it. It's depressing.
SEL (social emotional learning) is a fairly new, but ubiquitous teaching method implemented in many schools (both private and public) which focuses on constantly assessing students' emotional well-being in response to whatever is being taught. My neighbor, a 7th grade health teacher, is required to assess her students' emotional status every 30 minutes to make sure everyone is handling instruction okay. I think the intention is to help students recognize and deal with their emotions, but in actuality it is ironically creating more anxiety and undermining students' confidence. Abigail Shrier writes about it in her new book.
You might like John Taylor Gatto’s book, “The Underground History of American Education “, if you can find a copy. I think much of his writing can be found online. He taught in the Public Schools in NYC and won a Golden Apple Award. At his acceptance speech, he apologized for all the children he hurt over the years and quit teaching. Here’s some of his quotes:
I don't thinks it's middle school, per se. It's the constant subtle push of lgbt, anti-God, bogus science that screws them up. School is for learning to read & think, not learn alternative lifestyles, porn, or lies about our history & science. School used to teach arts, science, history, literature, social graces, but no longer. It's all sports, & taking STAAR tests or whatever ridiculous test the dept of Ed concocts. We read 25 classic books a year in English my junior & senior years. my grandkids read maybe 3 contemporary books, in three years of school, nothing classical. I remember reading Kafka's Metamorphosis short story to them when they were in high school & they were mesmerized by it, wondered why they never read it in any of their classes.
Lightning kills 6,000 to 24,000 people per year worldwide. Shouldn't the World Health Organization and governments Force lockdowns every time a storm blows through? I mean if it's their job to protect us from natural disasters? And don't get me started on tornadoes and hurricanes.
In order to have a "strong grasp on strategies" one must first strategize. And Strategy 101 dictates that you perform a cost-benefit analysis of every possible course of action.
If Strategy 101 had been performed in 2020 exactly 9,999 out of 10,000 possible courses of action would have shown that the cost of every single action they took would exceed the benefit they produced. In the one instance where the course of action resulted in a greater benefit than cost it was the strategy to break and destroy the world economy, lower the standard of living for 98% of mankind, punish, indoctrinate and eradicate notions of individual freedom and autonomy away and depopulate what they say is an overpopulated world. With that as a strategic goal the "benefit" outweighed the cost.
We should quarantine B.Gates Inside the building with all his genetically modified mosquitoes. 🦟
Seriously Mr. Childers, WHO gave him the right and Why is that he can play with this weapons and then deployed on our back yard in South Florida and Tx. Does Mr. DeSantis have no power to say nope….
I exspecially appreciate that our Founders were not so very deeply entrenched in correct spellings and written formulaic language. One may write or rite a journal passage or a legal document and not be considered unlearned or sloppy. I suppose etiquette also defines the proper order and placement of silver ware or silverware as does properly written modern English. Truely or truly i do not appreciate when 'are' and 'our', or 'your' and 'you're' are used interchangeably, or someone speaking says 'posta instead of 'supposed to', or pry instead of 'probably'. In a good faith effort I shall endeavor to initiate a lightening of my ill-spelled words or may lightning strike me down. If i am squeamish about pus am i a puss or just a fraidy cat? Haitian BBQ coming to a town near you.
Rite a journal passage! 😂 All brilliant, and you prolly agree that creative spelling is a funny gift. The thought counts, it’s funny, and it's hard to resist passing judgement and judgment.
Every time we let the dog out, he returns with mosquito "riders" on his coat... We decided to install a ZAPPER inside the house to get rid of those riders...
Right now half of Idaho has been on fire and people living in clouds of smoke for nearly two months. Nothing about it on the news, and smoke causes reactive airway disease if people don't stay indoors and away from it. People don't know that. Why is there no campaign for awareness of staying out of smoke?
I wonder if Vonu is actually my hyper-critical, cranky, agnostic older brother (?)....I love the guy but even more truly enjoy watching his buttons get pushed by all of the lesser-thans. Intelligent, witty, acridly biting and above the rest.. .quite similarly how Vonu seems to come across to many on the C & C Substack commentary. You Rock Vonu...keep it up!
Regarding mosquitoes: why don’t they just start spraying again like they do in Florida? They stopped spraying in the mid Atlantic area, and now we have mosquitoes all day and all the way till November.
The spraying is to poison everything inclusing the people. They want the mosquitoes, that's why they keep dumping them across the country in the 100's of thousands. They say its because they're modified to kill the mosquitoes that carry malaria, dengue fever, etc. Right👌
Trillion-dollar deficits and mass illegal immigration, and the fed is preoccupied with mosquitos. Give me liberty or give me DDT and Deet or some sage, basil, and mint to plant around my house.
I can’t recommend enough that you all get on the Tucker Carlson podcasts. Tucker and company are doing a 16 city tour in support of Trump and saving the Nation. He was in Phoenix, AZ first and featured Russell Brand. I knew little of Brand but how interesting he was. His conversion to Christianity and how deeply he has gone. Yesterday he was in L.A. and had Vivek Ramaswamy on. So very good. This man needs to be president someday. RFK Jr is a special guest also. This tour is so uplifting. It doesn’t hide the bad but makes clear, it ain’t over, until it’s over.
Watched the segment with Vivek and RFK. Outstanding. Have to say that RFK seems extremely worried, as we all are. Initially, he told his supporters that if they did not live in a swing state that could harm Trump in anyway., that they could vote for him. now he is telling us to vote for Trump no matter what state we are in. He says we need a large victory in the popular vote as well as the electoral college. I think that this is smart and necessary.
Everyone concerned about election and cheating needs to go to
Omega4America
On Substack and also the Internet website. The best strategy to counter the cheating is about to be revealed and it’s not too late. Stay in touch with this website and Substack.
Since RFKJr really has no possibility of winning, I'm glad he is telling his supporters to vote for Trump no matter what. I would love to see him in the Trump admin. in some sort of health policy capacity. What a great addition to the team that would be.
Listen to his interview of Darryl Cooper if you want to get a red pill light / baby steps awakening of what really happened in WWII. Elon Musk recommended it, and got vilified for it before he deleted his recommendation post.
Oh, wow. They actually got Elon to delete his endorsement of the podcast? That's crazy. It was a great episode and Darryl Cooper knew going in he was touching the third rail by questioning the mythos of WWII. I think he makes some interesting arguments and I am really looking forward to the long-form podcast. I've listened to several of his series and they are all deeply researched, thoughtful and thorough. If people haven't listened before, I say start with the series he did on Jim Jones and Jonestown. A fascinating look at the cult leader, the community he built the environment in which it all took place. DC is very good at "setting the table" so to speak and providing context to historical events. The lazy smears the past few days have been more emotion than reason.
He is very accurate from all I have been able to collaborate from other trusted sources . By full flavor, I mean NO sacred cows, meaning you better be open to anything. I can assure you most people on this site aren't ready for this yet. You have been warned.
As far as Jonestown goes, I knew the real deal over a decade ago. It was a CIA operation, financed by Michael Hinkley's father (yes, that Hinckley) . He was a close friend of 41, and believe it or not, had dinner with him the night before 41 pulled off his attempted assignation of Reagan. When the US rep announced he was going to visit Guyana to investigate, the CIA panicked, and shut it down "with extreme prejudice". The kool aid was cover. The cult members were given a choice. Instead of the classic "silver or lead " choice, they were given the "kool aid or lead " choice.
EDIT - Just started checking out some of his articles. I think you are correct that his site is very provocative. I may have to consume in small doses mostly because the foundation of my long-held historical world view is crumbling around me lately.
When you can't question things, like origin of covid, or the holocaust, or the science behind vaccines (topics that get banned on Facebook, or are illegal to dispute in many countries) - then you know you're being subverted and subjugated.
The fact Elon had to delete a point just saying 'interesting podcast' shows how powerful they are to hold on to the grift.
You nailed it. the more vehement TPTB are about forbidding you to question something, the more assured you can be that the opposite is true. You should follow Mike King too. I trust no one implicitly, with the possible exception of Bix Weir and Andy Schectman, so always make up your own mind after careful consideration.
Try again. Sachs knows more than anyone else about the financial attacks on Russia. He was in the center of efforts to do the opposite. Which would have made a very different world.
He has an earlier interview with Sachs which is easier to listen to, about the cold war. I listened to the the latest one yesterday and Sachs speech seemed very jerky and disjointed, hard to listen to.
I watched all of those and thought they were excellent. You should go back and listen to Tucker’s interview of Russell Brand and you will get even more details. I thought Russell Brand’s prayer was very deep and wise.
I will re listen to Russell Brand. With his British accent and he speaks quickly, you really have to pay attention. But his prayer at the end was so very good.
I dont think I made it to the end. Brand was too difficult to keep up with. Dr Carson was just the opposite. My bf and I both fell asleep during that one. :)
Ben’s not as fun as Ramaswamy and Brand. But he’s a very good man, solid on policy, and deliberately slow seems like a good quality in a brain surgeon.
I’ve watched both, the Russell Brand one yesterday while I was cleaning a client’s house, earbud in. I laughed out loud many times with some of the things Brand said. He can be cleverly funny and engaging.
Yet on the other hand, his testimony was equally engaging and I teared up with emotion.
He is such a testimony of God’s redemptive power! I remember thinking … Russell Brand is speaking LOGIC… !? Now it’s just tears of joy! And he is hysterical!
I was up from Texas among Minnesotans some years back. They asked silly questions about Texas, and I casually used the term “Yankees.” I don't know why they took it personally. Now my guard is up around Minnesota Yankees.
Even a deaf spirit obeys the voice of Jesus Christ!
Now when Jesus saw that a crowd was rapidly gathering, He rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, “You mute and deaf spirit, I command you, come out of him and do not enter him again.” And after crying out and throwing him into terrible convulsions, it came out; and the boy became so much like a corpse that most of them said, “He is dead!” But Jesus took him by the hand and raised him; and he stood up.
I have read it so many times, but this morning it jumped out at me that the spirit was deaf and still obeyed Jesus. Such power in that voice and presence.
I think that Putin is mocking us because we have become a complete circus of clowns. He knows that Kamala is a clown. Whatever else one could or might say about Putin, one thing he is not, and that is a stupid or unperceptive man.
Absolutely. Wanting to support her solely because of her laugh? 🤣 He’s taking a page out of the Musk playbook. Mock your adversaries, beat them at their own games.
Her very real, infectious JOY is such a great contrast to Angry Vengeful Evil of Trump-MAGA Republicans.... so the Media and TimMouthy WalzNutz tell us
I remember he said something like a sarcastic dig about Biden too when he got in. Something about his age situation, but I don't remember it. Russian humor is dry and sarcastic.
Mosquito lockdown?? Is someone yanking my giggle chain? Just what in the hell are they putting in the water in the NE corridor of the U.S.? Run fast. Run far. As a side note: The mosquitos are so big in Maine that you can see them coming from quite a distance and they sound like Blackhawk helicopters. It's the black flies that'll tear you up. Insidious little turds. Makes picking blueberries a hellish adventure.
Perhaps they missed the point that much of the upper U.S. will soon be knee deep in snow and below freezing weather. Mosquitoes are not known to enjoy snow…🤦♀️
Unfortunately, we are not yanking your chain. MA and VT have indeed recently instituted curfews at night over mosquitoes. I'll give them a little credit this time for being able to identify that mosquitoes are more active at night, thus the nightly curfews. At least that's better than randomly deciding that bars have to close at 11pm to prevent the spread of Covid, because, well, just because they said so.
If you live in those areas, slap on some bug repellent if you want, stock up on ivermectin in case Billy Boob ever does release something nasty , and get out there and enjoy your life! Do not comply.
I’d imagine the Gates GMO mosquitoes released messed with the ecosystem. Add to that the chemical sprays and we have another DDT lesson we should have learned from.
Up to 775,992,000 bacteria-infected mosquitoes could be released in Maui every week for the next 20 years, according to Hawaii Unites, an environmental advocacy group that last month lost its bid to require the state to conduct an environmental impact statement before allowing the controversial project to proceed.
According to the group’s lawsuit, the state did not perform a sufficient environmental impact study prior to the launch of the project.
Malaria used to be a problem in the United States but mosquitoes were eliminated. I'm wondering if that will become an issue now that we have a population of people crossing our border with malaria in their blood.
Eric, 2 popular yearly events were recently cancelled in Burlington, VT since the "Health" Dept is stating people should remain indoors from 6pm-6am because of the threat of mosquitoes carrying whatever causes EEE. All this based on 3 cases in NE 2 recovered, I death of an already severely ill person (and as with alleged "COVID" I question if it was EEE.) How about I'll take my chances? It's a slippery slope allowing govt to dictate your personal choices. I contacted one of the organizers, no response yet. My guess is he'll just parrot the "Health" Dept's suggestions.
Wouldn't it be better if they just invested a little in free bug repellent or Skin So Soft for all attendees? Health Dept. employees have turned into weathermen...they sensationalized every little storm to feed their ego and keep themselves relevant.
Gads, I watch a Swedish YouTuber named Jonna Jinton who lives in the gorgeous arctic circle, but the summer mosquitoes look like absolute hell. I never would have put Sweden + Mosquitoes together, but it looks worse than any Carolina Pocosin I’ve ever been berry-picking in.
Prior to 2014 Putin seemed to think Russia and the USA could engage in plus sum exchanges. Maidan coup convinced him otherwise. No more good will because America has become Russia’s enemy. Putin now wishes ill upon America. Therefore he endorses Kali-ma! Shakhti Devi!! - oops! I meant Kamala - knowing that another four year Democrat administration will devastate the USA even better than a nuclear first strike.
Exactly what I thought. And I’m pretty sure the corrupt media knows this too or why accuse Conservatives for recent Russian interference? More deflect and project.
Best laugh today: “We eat U.S. D.O.J. indictments for breakfast. With lots of sour cream, usually.” 🤣🤣 Love your snark Jeff. Really great summary today.
… “You Americans are so gullible. No, you won't accept communism outright, but we'll keep feeding you small doses of socialism until you'll finally wake up and find you already have communism. We won't have to fight you. We'll so weaken your economy until you'll fall like overripe fruit into our hands.” Nikita Khrushchev…. Putin picked “the finisher”…
If you ignore the political posturing and look at this purely logically from Russia and US being competitors, of course Russia wants Kumallover & Putz versus Trump. It is simple, why would you want strong competent leadership heading up your competition? That's a no-brainer and not exactly a glowing endorsement...
Or optics if Putin “Our sworn enemy” is For Kamala shouldn’t we be against her? 🤔 I can imagine some brainless supporters of her questioning this. Maybe further waking some people up?
Putin is smart. The US is not his enemy. Our govt is. He knows that.
He wants Harris because he knows he can run circles around her. I also think his endorsement of her is tongue-in-cheek.
Methinks he holds back a LOT, and things with him will cool down if DJT gets into office.
I actually have a ton of respect for Putin. He loves his country, just as Trump loves his. But i will be drawn and quartered if I admit that publicly. We have all been indoctrinated from day 1 to hate Russia.
“We cannot expect the Americans to jump from capitalism to communism, but we can assist their elected leaders in giving Americans small doses of socialism, until they suddenly awake to find they have communism." -- Nikita Khrushchev
Russia under Vlad has shifted like most countries to a more corporate model. China, Vietnam as well. They're all enjoying improving GDPs and general happiness with these systems, so pretty commendable.
Russia is notable having Vlad run the place for over 2 decades... over that time Russia has outpaced Germany for economic output.
I would add the liberals want us to believe Russia is something it isn't. It isn't marxist communism, which is what the liberals are, or they'd be welcoming Russia into their NWO. Russia is far more conservative now, but the liberals want us to buy their bullshit about NATO v Russia, etc etc. Its all about them keeping power, dominating the world and subjecting all of us to their will.
Reminder of my own indoctrination: As a young Lieutenant in the Army, I was certain the big red bear was an existential threat to the west, its what I'd been taught. And I stood in the Fulda gap ready to defend to my death with tens of thousands of other Americans - and NATO - kinda. But then Reagan and Glasnost (sp) occurred and the communist USSR dissolved. Capitalism and Conservativism got a foothold. The liberal socialist west is not at all happy about that and so now, they want us to believe Russia is still about the big bad red bear. I don't believe that. I'm not saying Russia is perfect, but look at the USA now, fully under the global marxists thumb. We continue to suffer under massive propaganda and gaslighting efforts of the lying, cheating liberals.
I'm willing to hear counter point if someone wants to convey it?
From the globalists’ vile perspective Russia did something even worse than moving towards capitalism: she has once again embraced her Judeo-Christian system of faith and morals. Therefore no LGBT+ mafia demands, no gender-bending for children and no repudiation of patriotic sentiment.
Roger, what am I missing here? It's completely legal (Federally) to purchase a fully automatic "assault rifle" like a pre-1986 M16 provided one complies with existing regulations contained in the NFA (National Firearms Act), completes an extensive background check, gets ATF approval, and pays a $200 licensing fee. States have added additional restrictions and prohibitions.
That reminds me that a little while ago I read about a shooting where teenagers (minors, I think 14 years old but not completely sure) used a fully automatic weapon. Completely illegal and yet… they still had it 😕
May not have been fully automatic RL. There are now triggers available which can make it appear that a weapon is firing fully automatic when in fact it is not. A really good example is Rare Breed Triggers Forced Reset Trigger. See it here: https://rarebreedtriggers.com/ It is currently in litigation, unsurprisingly because of the ATF, DOJ, and all the other criminals in the Resident's un-elected administration.
There are others known as binary triggers which closely simulate full auto.
FTR, unless you are being over run, or reconning by fire, full auto is not a good method for bringing effective fire. It is far better to conserve ammunition by selecting semi-auto and making every shot count. In that regard, get a good scope, Trijicon makes a great scope called the Advanced Combat Optic Gunsight or ACOG and its variants/replacements. The ACOG is engineered specifically for the ballistics of the 55 grain, 5.56 mm ammunition. If you own an AR, you deserve to also own an ACOG, if you seriously want to put rounds on target, out to give or take 800 meters.
Many do not understand, and some don't want to understand that AR stands for Armalite Rifle, the creator of the M16. It does not mean, nor did it ever mean Assault Rifle. In fact, in Army lexicon, the M16 and variants are described as "small arms".
And yet others want to use the fake name in their unconstitutional quest to disarm us.
I’m all for my legal constitutional right to purchase and use any legally sold weapon in the USA. But come on! Only Elmer Fudd needs a semi-auto to kill a dear, or a squirrel for that matter.
And the political drama goes on to keep us distracted from the actual threat that is looming over us. Afraid to look up? Your life depends on having the courage to look. This video is the most important video I've even seen. And it is alarming. Remember, to be forewarned is to be forearmed.
Everyone should listen to this interview with Doug Casey and Michael Yon. I recommend watching it in the morning or at least not before bed.
Michael Yon has been spot on with his reporting, and given his background and experience, is someone to listen too. Thx for posting this. Will watch later this morning.
Yes, Michael Yon will wake you up if nothing else will. First saw him on the HighWire and watched a shocking segment complete with videos of the untapped river of humans coming in, including many military age, Chinese men, as well as men coming from Venezuela, affiliated with Hezbulla (probably spelled that wrong) and not a lot of people that actually look like families. The Chinese camps in Central America are highly guarded, and Michael and his party were not allowed to get too close to the camp or speak to the people. On one occasion he got close, and they pretended to be Korean. Michael happens to speak a bit of those languages and called them on their lie. They just laughed darkly. He details some of the NGO’s and government organizations and countries who are funding all of this, including the US, Canada, and Israel. There is no doubt they are hoping that with our declining birth rate and the invasion of huge numbers of immigrants, that we will atomize and lose our country and our constitution.
Thanks for the warning to not watch before bed.😀 This video is a fresh reminder of what we are facing. I'm grateful for 3 things in light of this invasion: 1) Having a strong spiritual foundation and faith that no matter what happens, God is holding my hand. 2) I am several years already into seniorhood; therefore, I don't have this to face in the way young people do who are just starting out in life (I truly feel compassion for them). 3) I live in Florida, which seems the best place to be under these circumstances. Thank you for all your enlightening comments and posts. God bless us all!
"Zones and areas have already been allocated to certain areas of the United States. These concentrated areas will be used to allow UN funded migrant gangs to be taken over. Eventually leading to UN troops and FEMA regions. This is all part of the plan. Order out of chaos or "Ordo ab Chao, as the Masonic motto so elegantly puts it."
Seriously frightening though… both Yon and Carroll provide startling proof “replacement theory” is not a conspiracy theory… it’s an all out global operation with the US government complicity… and it’s getting frightening all too real…
Given his background and the fact that he is bringing his opinion based on actual, real world "boots on the ground" observations, one has to take Yon seriously as an authoritative source. Yesterday, Childers gave us his "theory" about the immigration issue. I rarely disagree with Childers observations but I found myself diametrically at odds with his theory.
I believe this is the "sell" narrative that the deep state is pushing to cover their motivations and plans for what they are doing. This is NOT immigration - illegal or otherwise! This is an invasion - planned, financed and organized by the deep state who is using the Marxist Regime to accomplish. I can't say that strongly enough. Folks, this is an actual invasion of massive numbers of single military aged men who are being paid by our Gov't though their NGOs. The latest estimates are 50 million illegals are now in our backyard.
Bear in mind, that the majority of these men are Muslims from the Subcontinent. Islam is a militaristic faith based on force or violence. Their belief is that anyone who is not of their faith must be exterminated. I am not exaggerating. You cannot assume they have the same let's-get-along mindset that we have. These men come from war torn countries (in large part thanks to the USG empire) and they are hardened men. They bear only animosity towards Americans and American culture. We are about to reap what we have been sowing since 1860 with our forever wars.
Understand, "invasion" is war. Plain and simple. Just because no one is shooting at you, yet, does not mean we are not DOMESTICALLY at war. This war will soon go kinetic. We all have to come to grips with that in our minds. If we do not, then, as Yon says, we will freeze and that will get all of us killed. Self-imposed denial is what got the Christians and Jews killed in Nazi Germany and it is what got the naive Russians killed in the Bolshevik's revolution and gulags.
We ALL mentally want to impose "normalcy bias" upon our observations. It is a natural mental defense mechanism. Overpower it with your intelligence. Childers theory is a misdirect. Nothing the deep state does is for the purpose of prospering our country! Bottom line, their only goal is power through destruction and enslavement. For our children and grandchildren, we have to be cognitively independent. And spiritually, we have to be armed with the REALITY of God's Providence. Arm you mind with Psalm 2 and Psalm 91. Start there and then tackle this reality head-on!
"Yesterday, Childers gave us his "theory" about the immigration issue. I rarely disagree with Childers observations but I found myself diametrically at odds with his theory."
I had the same reaction. Childers' theory is the 'limited hangout' IMHO.
To be honest, if Childers came out and said something like I said, he would probably be attacked and put his substack in jeopardy. I think it is "interesting" that Childers postulated his post as "only a theory" and then invited everyone to give their opinion. Food for thought... "Wise as serpents..." comes to mind.
… why else would NYC arm the city with hazmat gear, tactical military vehicles, National Guard military personnel if not prepping for martial law … they might use the excuse potential riots if Trump is jailed, but his sentencing date was moved to Nov 12… I’m puzzled by Jeffs benign reporting when James O’Keefe has held nothing back reporting about the illegals in Denver ~even~ being given the green light to “FIRE ON POLICE OFFICERS” with proof documents… as reported by Seth Holehouse Man in America in yesterdays podcast. This is not a time to soft peddle this treasonous danger to every citizen invasion… thank you Political Phil for refocusing on the urgent need to be prepared for MASSIVE civil unrest… Aurora in every city is the game plan… 🙏🙏🙏🙏
They've charged the latest school shooter's parent as an accomplice.
Yet they never do that with the many more shootings that happen in the ghetto schools, even as many of these kids are younger, making the parent even more a part of the crime.
I agree. This is another issue Democrats will only consider one solution - take all the guns. But if they were really serious about addressing the whole of the issue, they should be open to looking at all factors.
I would like to see statistics on that, not saying that they don’t happen, but I hear a lot more about fights and maybe knifings in ghetto schools than shootings, mass or otherwise. It seems like that is mostly a suburban problem. Which would square with the psych meds and gender confusion anger issues. Is the press/media just ignoring the inner city school shootings, or do they actually happen less often? I can see either being true.
I think more of their shootings happen outside of the school and in the neighborhood streets. But I agree with you that suburban school shootings reflect a mental health neglect issue, and what attention mental health is getting is being done the wrong way.
Just watch a couple episodes of "First 48" to get a taste of how the shootings are going down and who's doing them. About one in every 25 episodes, maybe fewer, is about a white person perpetrating a crime, and it's usually against another white person. The overwhelming number is black people in white or black people.
A heartbreaking ep recently involved a 16-year old black male who, in one day, perpetrated burglary, robbery, rape, AND murder, all on 5-7 white people. He was eventually sentenced to life for 20 felonies
I remember when they charged the parents in Michigan with crimes some lawyers raised the uncomfortable question about holding parents in the inner cities responsible for gang shootings (and there we know there are several underage kids killing people usually as some form of gang initiation). I guess the one difference is the parents (or more likely the single mom) doesn't usually provide the weapon as the father in Georgia apparently did. Anyway, I do think this is another slippery slope on which many people could slip.
Yikes. Yes, that is bad. He really appeared completely broken when he appeared in court. I honestly can't imagine being ANY of the parents involved in a school shooting incident - it is just too terrible to contemplate.
It's a trend in the news right now. Michigan shooter parents found guilty and now this dad. They're building their color army to get the public to pressure gun owners.
I am beginning my 3rd worst day ever at my failing fathers bedside. He has been on Hospice for 6 weeks. It is a most horrible experience. A don’t believe the nurse expects him to survive the weekend. Heaven awaits him and we are glad for that! I can’t take much more stress and not sleeping. Thankful for enough manna to get through each day.
Prayers for your Dad, you and your family. There is nothing worse than watching someone you love the most struggling to make the transition from this life to the next, while the rest of the world goes on around you as if nothing has changed. I pray that Jesus will open his arms and receive your Father into his loving embrace and that the Holy Spirit will comfort those who love him who are left behind.to navigate life without him.🙏💔
Wonderful news about your dad!! ❤️❤️❤️🙏
Amen
best news of the week, honestly
I concur wholeheartedly and wish his continued recovery and good health!
Amen
We also brought Grandpa (101 yo) home after his last visit to the ER... Be prepared for LOTS more work and concerns regarding his wellbeing. Prayers for the entire Childers household.
Agree Juju, parents leave us much too soon in most cases. Having Mr. Childers senior condition improving is a statement about our free medical system. Free as possible anyway.
I've taught public middle school for 14 years. Middle Schools should be outlawed, They are brutal. Too many kids of one age group trapped together. It's like a giant caged match.
When I went to school about 100 years ago, we just had grade school (1-8) and then high school (9-12).
50 some years ago I was in Junior High School (grades 7 to 9). That went out with the Dodo Bird.
Me too. Nice spending 9th grade as a senior instead of a freshman.
I also went to a junior high school 7th - 9th grades. They switched to the middle school model when I moved up to 10th grade, so we brought the 9th graders with us. To sum up, my class was the top dog (9th graders) at the junior high and we were never freshmen at the high school!
Mrs. "the Knife"
In Florida, the switch to middle schools happened, I believe in the early 70s. I had an education class in which I was amazed to learn that my home county, Walton, was piloting a fabulous middle school Open Classrooms experiment and it was exciting and having wonderful results. They had actually taken down the classroom walls so students could navigate to whatever classes they wanted. They being so mature at that age and all. Unrestricted learning. What could possibly go wrong, Bill Ayers and Timothy Leary?
At some point I was back in Walton County, working alongside teachers at the middle school. The walls were back in place. I told them about how they had been spotlighted as a wonderful example of Open Classroom teaching at the University of Florida. I got a chorus of ‘It was a disaster and the stupidest idea ever to come out of academia.’
Coming off experimentation with LSD and liberal use of Mary Jane throughout the 60s, the number of idiots and idiotic notions put into practice in the early seventies rivals today. It’s just that the sexual perversions have now matured and metastasized, which makes the impact so much worse for children. But for everyone really.
And can’t anyone tell me, marijuana is harmless. I lost many brain cells to the evil weed. And, yeah, I know, people with stage four cancer need it so it must be legal and available to all. Whatever. I saw Dr.’s sons lose their way and end up with menial jobs because… ‘Who cares?’
Exact same experience for me growing up in NJ!
Exactly.
Right. I went to junior high, 7-9. But then I chose to home educate my kids so that is my opinion of public schools
Way to go Renea! If at possible I implore parents to get kids out of government schools. It looks like in this case the Georgia shooter was in a very poor family situation, almost impossible for any adolescent to survive. In this case it's like a pack of hyenas picking the weakest victim from the herd. Unfortunately today woke schools are just another dog in the pack.
We had elementary, junior high and high school but those divisions were pretty meaningless because my school was so small we were all in the same building 😆😛
Love this! I think kids would do better with this model of schooling. Like, perhaps, home school co-ops?
Mrs. "the Knife"
Around 500 kids, total, in K - 12. My daughter's graduating class, in a relatively small city school, had around 120. So, yeah. But the divisions still felt pretty real. Junior high was when we started changing classrooms, which was awesome!
You must have gone to my school. Heck, there were only 18 in my graduating class.
They were only a skip, hop, and a jump away from each other? But skipping was not allowed?😉
Ditto - and I can tell you from my friends who taught "middle school"--these are most difficult years in any kids' life...and to throw in the menage of Marxist dogma and LGBTQ nonsense--it's enough to make ANYONE 'anxious and mentally imbalanced'!!
Why did they 'create' middle schools in the first place? I know my sons' went there...and hated it--elementary and high school were fine and dandy--not 'middle school'. That's when my two sons experienced the most bullying.
6th - 8th graders have no business being in a school with 12th graders.
Are you younger than 50? If so...I understand your mindset. I am 77 years young and when I 'matriculated" - Grades 1 - 6 were in "elementary school" and Grades 7 - 12 were in High School (one building) - the Junior High (7-9) were in different 'sectors' of the 'one building' location. We didn't 'intermingle' with the 'upper classes" - except "sometimes" in the "School Assemblies" which were held intermittently throughout the school year.
Every state, county and or city can be different
Not that both of those weren’t a social challenge …
Yes, it was a huge change to go from grade 8 to 9.
It was an eye opener going from Top Dog in the 8th grade to having a bottom locker at the far end of the school my freshman year.
I never see anyone being stuck with a bottom locker on TV or the movies.
Me too Kathleen! Catholic school for 12 years!😂I’ve been wearing a uniform my entire life (retired now)!
We were 1-6, 7-12.
We went to something called "junior high" for grades 7, 8 and 9. This was during 1959-1962.
And I walked from my 6th grade class to the local YMCA for riflery class & practice. There were no school shootings as I recall (1961–3), though there was a presidential assassination, IIRC.
I wonder what has changed? Not the Second Amendment, not basic biology (XY, XX). But : no prayer in schools, divorce rates, single parent households, SSRIs, # of MK Ultra victims?
Why does the MSM focus on the things that haven’t changed and ignore the things that have changed???
I think I'd add that almost every kid now lives in their room with a cell phone. Parents are outnumbered there. A pity.
Too many kids on prescribed drugs for one thing or another. Too much video games. Too little community service. Not enough religious education. Yada yada yada.
I went to church school grade 1-8. ("Kindergarten"was spent at home with my mother.) Then 9-12 at the faith based HS. No school shooting back then in the late 50s, early 60s.
What has changed? CIA practices which were once used only outside the country are now routinely used within the country.
Look deep into some of this stuff ... and it is not what people think it is. Deception is now commonplace.
Those facts are classed as unmentionables.
And beyond. I went to a 7-9 Jr High in the mid-70's.
Same. Early 80s.
We had Junior high at 7 and 8th grades. Around the same time. My grandkid had 6,7 and 8 as jr high ending in 2020.
When I entered 1st grade in 1963, grades were 1 through 12 were all one one campus. By 1970, the County had built a junior high school for grades 7 and 8 and a high school for grades 9 through 12. Junior high was brutal.
Where my grandkid was given a phone and trans grooming began.
That is how ours operated as well. And in that small community, it still does.
Not sure the reasoning why education went to a middle school model.
Does anyone know the reason?
Probably crowd control.
The local school where I live is crazy huge 😳 One single class level at the high school has 600-800 kids in it 😳 There are more kids at the high school than there were at my college!! There are two middle schools and they’re also big. I do think they try to mitigate that with certain smaller groupings of students followed throughout their years in the school by a group of teachers and admins but there is no way that with so many kids, a good number don’t fall through the cracks 😞 I personally am very opposed to these monster schools. They claim the objective is to streamline services and offer a wider variety of class options (as well as better sports teams but no one comes out and says that really). But I think it’s more about the superintendents getting paid bigger bucks and the sports aspect. I don’t think it serves the students very well at all, for the most part, save perhaps the most exceptional ones in academics or sports. But the rest lose more than they gain imo.
Large suburb of Houston has one school just for grade 9. I like the principle of easing the transition to HS.
From a middle school counselor. To make the transition to HS easier. Not sure transition from 8th grade directly to 9th harmed me or any of my friends. Big change sure. Just did it, did what was expected of us. Adjusted to it.
Thanks for the explanation.
Not really. That's a good question.
https://www.newworldencyclopedia.org/entry/Middle_school
some history here..oh, look, it was the brainchild of an ivy-leaguer and an unelected committee!
Thanks for the link.
That wasn't long after all the students shared one classroom and one teacher.
I went to Elementary school from first grade (1966) through 4th grade (1970) and then went to Middle school for fifth & sixth grade. The new High school was built at that time with 7th & 8th graders having their own wing attached, so after Middle school, I began attending a high school. I believe that was the start of eliminating Junior High schools in my area.
My little country school, back when the dinosaurs left their tracks, was grades 1-9.
Then off to town on the school bus for high school. And the high school was on a campus that included grades 1-12 in their different areas.
Agree! Lots of the middle school angst and aggression could be ameliorated because with the bigger transition from elementary, those leaning towards bullying are in awe of being in high school with gasp, upper class-men. Not a teacher, so I could be wrong, but agree that middle school is a terrible time for our youth.
Same. It worked well.
Actually I went to a school that was 1-7 then 8th graders went to another entirely separate school. We had 9-10 graders together and then an 11th-12th Senior High. Seems like lots of separations, but I don’t ever remember bullying or school shootings.
So...you served in WWI ??
No, smart ass.
That’s ok , I was gonna say I went to school with methuselah. 😁
I think we went to the same finishing school.
🤣
Hope you know I'm only joking around, Kathleen.
On a subject I know to be near and dear to you - I found this in my inbox very recently, not sure if you follow Steve Kirsch? But you will likely find it interesting (and maddening!):

When I started homeschooling my kids, a neighbor who teaches grades 6-12 art at a private Christian school told me that whatever I decided to do about homeschool going forward, to homeschool my daughter in middle school, especially 8th grade. She said "I don't know what happens to girls in 8th grade but they become demons. 6th grade, 7th grade, not too bad but 8th grade, they come back just hateful."
Focus on the Family, Dr. James Dobson said on many occasions, if you are going to homeschool your children, do it during the middle school years as that is the time when hormones are beginning to rage, and kids can be mean. Give your tweens the opportunity to build their character and to encourage them in their identity in Christ.
Parochial schools go from K to 8th grade. After that, high school. I attended one. I do not remember any issues with the classmates who I literally grew up with from 6 years old.
I went to a Catholic school from grades 1-8.
Those nuns put the fear of God into us...even more so than being in the military.
And never ever , while kneeling, could your butt rest on the pew
I miss those nuns!
I do too. Nuns from 1st grade thru 12th. Learned so very much from those ladies.
I agree.
My three children attended a Catholic parochial school from K to 8th grade. It was the same school I attended years before. It's a sacrifice for parents to do.
Have things changed in the last 50 years? Yes, even in a Catholic parochial school. But still, it's not nearly as bad as the surrounding culture and the public schools. It's worth it.
I loved James Dobson. A man of wisdom for sure!
I don’t remember seeing any of that in my experience, but I do know it is fairly common knowledge that girls self-esteem tends to plummet when they reach puberty. Of course, some people will overcompensate with unpleasant behavior. I think social media has brought out the worst in the young people. At one gym I belonged to, so many times I would see a young woman in the locker room with a cell phone standing in front of a long mirror, taking pictures of her butt. Undoubtedly to post on social media or at least send to a boyfriend. What amazes me is they were not even embarrassed to be doing this, with other people witnessing it. I was looking at a video of a popular New England band NRBQ performing at a club back in the late 70s or early 80s. What struck me was that the girls were so natural. They were wearing sweatshirts and jeans, not flaunting body parts, little or no make up, seemingly putting on no airs, just having a ball, and the boys were too .I am so glad I grew up back then.
Middle school is a time when kids emotional disconnection becomes more apparent and emotional connection is the most important thing they need at that age. When they don’t have support of the people (parents/family/friends/trusted authority figures) and it all dismantles, hopelessness is what happens and we then have the scenario of suicide, school shootings and mental health issues and also behavioral like bullying ect…that age is hard for most but life or death for those without a support system. This Colt did not have this. In any shape or form. His dad seemed to love him in his very misguided way but also had massive issues of his own. His own aunt said the kid was crying out for help and no one showed up. Not to mention the dad moved him away to alienate more. My son and all of his friends went thru a difficult middle school years, right smack in the pandemic. What he needed was to have someone in his camp, and I was there. Many 3 am conversations and much much more. And consistently and love- always. And it breaks my heart so many children do not have that. I don’t say that to pat my back, it was just being a parent. My parents were that to me too. But that is what our society lacks, and actively pushes good loving parenting away and undermines it. I think we will see much more of this until we can fix this cycle.
Mass advertising drives a lot of that drop in self-esteem because it tells them that they aren't as good in anyway as they could be if they used the advertised product.
Weak parenting is also a major cause, the primary cause IMO, of self-esteem problems.
Those with poor self-esteem should be teaching it to their children?
I too am glad I grew up in the way back era. However, by 11th grade, I strongly suspected that we were not getting a rigorous education. That was when we first started reading the Greek tragedies, Shakespeare and Homer. Compared to what we were getting before then, a total waste.
And parents who can should get kids outside of the public schools and into rigorous study. Also, most home schooling needs to be upgraded.
Totally agree. Homeschoolers measure themselves by the standard of the institutional school paradigm and this is the wrong measuring stick. I homeschooled my two boys and started by rejecting the institutional model. If nothing else, trying to duplicate that model will produce burn-out for the parents, something that I heard parents complaining about constantly at homeschool conventions.
You confirm what little I have seen in the various home school curricula which themselves to look to be rather dumbed down. So in that way, I relate to what you are saying.
I know that any home school education has to fit the kid according to his or her capacity to learn, but I totally thought home schooling could be much, much more rigorous. As you say, they are using the wrong measuring stick. And please, let them stop mimicking the idiots in the public schools. Let's have excellence as the standard.
I had one motto when I was homeschooling my boys which I stole from the movie "Stand and Deliver": "Children will rise to the level of your expectations." Unfortunately, that usually meant the expectations were too low. Let that sink in.
I had one goal which I clearly communicated to my sons: "You are going to have the tools to do anything you want in life." It didn't matter to me if they wanted to be a janitor or the world's best physicist.
I had one model for the curriculum: The 3 Rs... Reading/wRiting/aRithmetic.
IMO, the only curriculum that measures up is The Robinson Curriculum with the Saxon Math books: https://www.robinsoncurriculum.com/rc/homeschool-curriculum-excellence/
This curriculum is adaptable to the needs of any child and any environment. Except for the basic phonic skills and the basic 1-2-3s of math, this curriculum is NOT teacher intensive. Instead, it is a self-study program that only requires your supervision, just as if you are in college. It works.
Body-shamed, inhibited, and stigmatized into modesty and covering up without even realizing it. How Puritanical and repressed the older generations were. Liberation has had its' price but won't it all be great when progressively culminated into a sexual utopia of all genders and urges and desires?
Love satire.
All children become demonic in puberty, especially if it is blocked.
Yea, the same neighbor also said something like "gee, let's take all those middle school kids with raging hormones and throw them all together in one place at one time because that's genius." I also read a book that said middle school is a weird place, boys look like they could be in elementary school and girls look like they could be in college.
Girls have always led boys in maturation until their mid 20s if they aren't already mothers.
Children are born sinners.
And they never grow out of it.
Those years are just a hormonal hot mess. You are going from a child to an adult. Nothing you can do about it but hold on for the roller-coaster ride. As I told my 13 year old niece - "you are a caterpillar coming out as a 🦋 and the process is not particularly pretty but necessary. The best is yet to come."
lol, that was ME. I was such a hot mess for 3 yrs, don't know how my parents put up with me!
Seriously a school teacher couldn’t figure out why 8th grade girls changed and became demons…clearly not the health teacher lol
The best health teacher is an experienced public health RN.
I’ve seen this too, with my friends and their kids. Even in 7th grade 😕 Even if their kids aren’t changing that way, they are certainly affected by the other girls becoming nasty and hateful and vicious 😕
My daughter was absolutely horrible from about 12-15. At 12, it was like a light switch was flipped and she just got manipulative and mean. Mostly to me. I know it was her way of coping with the bitchy girls at school, and it really improved once she started high school. She’s 26 now and awesome, I thank the Lord for maturity regularly!
My boys mostly got impulsive and a little dumb during puberty, like ‘uhh I didn’t know that was going to happen.’ I remember thinking… the day you can see just 10 minutes into the future, everything is going to change. It did. But dang, puberty is hard.
I taught middle school for 20 years and have to say there are so many advantages to K-8 schools. In general, they foster a respect for life. When big kids interact with young children, they see the value and humanity in those young, innocent lives. By separating them it’s easier to gently mold a general disrespect for life and lead them to a place where “reproductive health” (aka killing babies) trumps that value. I really think it’s all part of the plan to destroy the family and make idols into gods.
There is another clear advantage in my experience…when big kids know little kids (with whom they have a connection and whom they value) are looking up to them, that position of role model often helps big kids mature into responsible citizens. They don’t want to let their little friends down. K-8 schools are just so much better.
Excellent points, all!!
Amen to this. If had to do it over, I would 100% homeschool grades 5-8 and possibly even take them internationally so they could experience other cultures. Ugh. Hindsight is 20-20.
I would too. Hindsight…😞
Homeschool and never vaccinate . . . If only we could do it all over again
I think schools need to have an across-the-board no bullying policy. Doesn’t matter if it is based on sexual orientation, religion, skin, color, different taste in clothes, etc. The school does not have to discuss why someone is being bullied , or issues involved , and just focus on the people doing it. Also, I would put money on it that that kid was on psychiatric drugs. The kid had already demonstrated that he was very disturbed, and even his mother has been in trouble with the law. Buying that kid an assault rifle was nuts. I am not against all guns, but this was common sense, which apparently his father did not possess. He was a tragedy, waiting to happen. But I am sick and tired of this cover-up of the effect of all the psychiatric drugs.
Schools already have no-bullying policies, obviously.
Kind of like how Chicago already has restrictive gun control.
Bar none, middle school was flat out the most awful, treacherous, insidious part of growing up ever inflicted on our human population. I have two girls who are 4 years apart. Just when I was recovering from the 1st daughter, I had to go through it again. My hair turned white, I had constant diarrhea from the stress, and I re-lived my own middle school trauma through second hand PTSD, although this time it was MUCH worse with iphones and social media. Because, sure, let's add a live emotional grenade to the whole thing and really shake things up. Thank you Alison for your comment LOL - I feel vindicated!
When I was teaching high school, I covered at a middle school once. ONCE. It reaffirmed my conviction that children that age should be kept in cages until puberty has run its course.
It's probably good that I left the profession, I admit.
Our kids and now grandkids are at private Christian school. It’s better on all fronts. It’s a sacrifice but good to see how God provides the funds.
I taught middle school for 21 years. Then I transferred to high school to finish my career. I honestly don’t believe that I could teach in a public school environment today… at least not in a big city. Kudos to you. Hang in there. 🙏
My friend also taught middle school for many years before having her children. She said she’d never send her kids to a public school and decided to homeschool them. Funny enough, I met her at a homeschool function and found out her husband worked for Newsome and they were VERY liberal. I guess seeing the terrible conditions red pilled her. Unfortunately, not on all social issues, but I think it was still a win.
Interesting, it’s always funny to me how some people fail to connect the dots.
I wholeheartedly concur! I've taught Sunday school for 43 yrs. 4th and 5th grade. I teach them The Word. I also tell them what they're heading into..... a mind field! Stand firm on what you've learned. Love Jesus, love your fellow man. Pray on your knees. When things start to go awry waste no time in running to your parents, grandparents, minister, youth leader, Sunday school teacher; the ones who represent love, calm, and care. You are never, ever alone! I am always available.
Our eldest daughter was pushed out the emergency exit of the school bus during a hastily called fire alarm drill. She suffered a broken leg. This was in the early 90s. I was not called until a parent snitched and let me know she was injured. They carried her to class... "she's faking it!" The second I heard, I drove over to retrieve her. The PE coach carried her to my car. I was already taking my 90 yr old grandmother from the nursing home to ortho for sever hip pain... daughter patiently waited. After dropping my grandmother off at the nursing home, my ex-hubby and I took her to her ortho visit. We left with a large cast and crutches... My dad was the auditor for the School Board. He reported the incident and included the hospital bill. They paid but refused to address the students who caused the problem. That ruined my perception of safety in middle school.
Where I live there are 5th and 6th grade campuses and 7th and 8th grade campuses. Not perfect, but an improvement. It keeps the schools smaller.
That's similar to our local district's model. We have the early education school (preK and K), Primary (1-3) Intermediate (4-6), Jr. High (7-8) and High School (9-12). One really nice feature is all the school are on one campus so it is more like a community.
That sounds fantastic! I live in Houston so our schools and school districts are enormous
(6+ million in the metro area), what I posted above is about as good as I gets for public schools here.
From what I have observed children today are reaching physical maturity earlier (hormones in food?) but emotionally maturing later (if at all). I think part of the problem is the lack of rigor in schools. There is virtually no discipline leading to feral children roaming the halls and all manor of poor treatment of others. There are many school models throughout the globe which can be observed and measured as to outcomes and perhaps some of those things integrated into our system. Funds following the student and failing teachers being fired would be a good start. Of course, it all starts at home so lowering the divorce rate and having one parent stay home would also help. My two cents (along with a lot of my property tax money).
You make a great case for homeschooling.
What should students do instead of attending middle school?
Which kind of K-12 schools don't trap kids of one age group together?
What is needed is to diagnose the mentally ill trans and get them help before they start shooting.
Trouble is, the people who claim to be "helping" more often than not just facilitate the delusion.
Helpers are usually the causation, in the act of job preservation.
I always thought dentists were silly for sending you home with a toothpaste and a toothbrush instead of a bag of taffy.
I am really starting to question graded education altogether. I don't think it is effective in its current iteration if it ever was. I would do so many things differently were I raising my kids today. So many things.
All effective schooling is based on self-pacing. Those who lead the pack should be allowed to move on instead of being trapped with underachievers.
I agree with the pacing comment. I also think we truly need to return to teaching the basics and not worry about social engineering all the time. Expose young children to really good stories. Start there. Develop their ability to picture things in their minds through really descriptive writing. Inevitably, kids who read a lot become really good writers almost by osmosis. After literacy (and adjacently, the physical act of writing - not keyboarding), focus on numeracy. Go back to memorizing times tables and the like. Yes, kids need to understand the underlying mathematical concepts, but don't tell them there are different "right answers" for things like 2+2. Further, don't inject social-emotional learning in any lesson. None at all. It is a distraction and only reinforces an emotional vulnerability in kids (obviously there may instances when a child displays real signs of distress and that is a different thing, but asking kids every thirty minutes, "how do you feel?" - and yes, that is happening in schools - is counterproductive and I would argue harmful).
My father was responsible for my learning to count change and memorizing the multiplication tables, the latter being a waste of time with a calculator in every smart phone. What is social-emotional learning? Is that another term for neuro-linguistic programming?
Good luck getting kids to make change nowadays. They literally can't do it. It's depressing.
SEL (social emotional learning) is a fairly new, but ubiquitous teaching method implemented in many schools (both private and public) which focuses on constantly assessing students' emotional well-being in response to whatever is being taught. My neighbor, a 7th grade health teacher, is required to assess her students' emotional status every 30 minutes to make sure everyone is handling instruction okay. I think the intention is to help students recognize and deal with their emotions, but in actuality it is ironically creating more anxiety and undermining students' confidence. Abigail Shrier writes about it in her new book.
You might like John Taylor Gatto’s book, “The Underground History of American Education “, if you can find a copy. I think much of his writing can be found online. He taught in the Public Schools in NYC and won a Golden Apple Award. At his acceptance speech, he apologized for all the children he hurt over the years and quit teaching. Here’s some of his quotes:
https://www.azquotes.com/author/5389-John_Taylor_Gatto#google_vignette
In my opinion, schools are a successful social experiment for our government.
Thanks for the recommendation, Joanne!
John Taylor Gatto is really good!
Those Gatto quotes are pure wisdom!
I think one room school houses were far more effective in many ways.
Totally. Unstructured education is a big thing.
We should all be working on the Parallel (alternate) Economy (society). Schooling would entirely revamped.
I don't thinks it's middle school, per se. It's the constant subtle push of lgbt, anti-God, bogus science that screws them up. School is for learning to read & think, not learn alternative lifestyles, porn, or lies about our history & science. School used to teach arts, science, history, literature, social graces, but no longer. It's all sports, & taking STAAR tests or whatever ridiculous test the dept of Ed concocts. We read 25 classic books a year in English my junior & senior years. my grandkids read maybe 3 contemporary books, in three years of school, nothing classical. I remember reading Kafka's Metamorphosis short story to them when they were in high school & they were mesmerized by it, wondered why they never read it in any of their classes.
Lightning kills 6,000 to 24,000 people per year worldwide. Shouldn't the World Health Organization and governments Force lockdowns every time a storm blows through? I mean if it's their job to protect us from natural disasters? And don't get me started on tornadoes and hurricanes.
Oh man don’t give them any ideas!! 😩
In order to have a "strong grasp on strategies" one must first strategize. And Strategy 101 dictates that you perform a cost-benefit analysis of every possible course of action.
If Strategy 101 had been performed in 2020 exactly 9,999 out of 10,000 possible courses of action would have shown that the cost of every single action they took would exceed the benefit they produced. In the one instance where the course of action resulted in a greater benefit than cost it was the strategy to break and destroy the world economy, lower the standard of living for 98% of mankind, punish, indoctrinate and eradicate notions of individual freedom and autonomy away and depopulate what they say is an overpopulated world. With that as a strategic goal the "benefit" outweighed the cost.
no shit
Just ban lightning. Tedros probably believes God owes him something.
We should quarantine B.Gates Inside the building with all his genetically modified mosquitoes. 🦟
Seriously Mr. Childers, WHO gave him the right and Why is that he can play with this weapons and then deployed on our back yard in South Florida and Tx. Does Mr. DeSantis have no power to say nope….
And Fauci with the beagles
In this world money creates rights
No He owes Bill Ghate$
🤣😆
Next they will try lockdowns with tick infestations giving folks lymes disease or better yet frogs giving us warts! 😅
Kindly cite the source for your wide range of lightning deaths.
Just look it up on your trollbot search engine, Google
I guess you are ignorant about the ones that don't use Google.
Sorry, bot, no bites today
hahaha, agree!
death by lightening, or death during lightening?
Death with white lightnin'. Also in Michael Jackson's case...death after lightening
What is lightening?
A feeling a pregnant woman gets when the baby drops = lightening 🤭
Vonu doesn't believe in dictionaries. Watch for his unique definitions of "ad hominem" and "American Founders" and "Christian" and "pariah."
Vonu doesn't believe in a LOT of things... like doing his own research
You should know since you never use one.
It doesn't come from the sky like lightning does.
Getting your hair bleached
No point in it since my hair is very light blond.
that was esp. for you, thanks
I exspecially appreciate that our Founders were not so very deeply entrenched in correct spellings and written formulaic language. One may write or rite a journal passage or a legal document and not be considered unlearned or sloppy. I suppose etiquette also defines the proper order and placement of silver ware or silverware as does properly written modern English. Truely or truly i do not appreciate when 'are' and 'our', or 'your' and 'you're' are used interchangeably, or someone speaking says 'posta instead of 'supposed to', or pry instead of 'probably'. In a good faith effort I shall endeavor to initiate a lightening of my ill-spelled words or may lightning strike me down. If i am squeamish about pus am i a puss or just a fraidy cat? Haitian BBQ coming to a town near you.
Rite a journal passage! 😂 All brilliant, and you prolly agree that creative spelling is a funny gift. The thought counts, it’s funny, and it's hard to resist passing judgement and judgment.
The founders were more interested in meaning than spelling, leaving those of us who don't read for comprehension to flail in ignorance.
The interweb ... Where all Truth Resides.
I thought that was God, Pastor.
LOL
You must be one of the demented who find things more hysterical as they become more important to take seriously.
What?? An ad hominem attack from Vonu!?! Inconceivable!
🤣🤣🤣
oh good grief perhaps I read this wrong... I was just laughing at the absurdity of it all but I do take it very seriously. Sorry Vonu
Don't apologize to the troll, Vonu. It's most likely a bot anyways
Volusia county Florida, lightening strike capitol of the world. We just had a fifty thousand strike night. Yeah.
Every time we let the dog out, he returns with mosquito "riders" on his coat... We decided to install a ZAPPER inside the house to get rid of those riders...
Right now half of Idaho has been on fire and people living in clouds of smoke for nearly two months. Nothing about it on the news, and smoke causes reactive airway disease if people don't stay indoors and away from it. People don't know that. Why is there no campaign for awareness of staying out of smoke?
One would that a man of the cloth would advise praying over bureaucratization.
Why would we expect those who manage corrupt pandemics to do better with things they have zero control over?
What?? ANOTHER ad hominem attack from Vonu!?! Inconceivable!
🤣🤣🤣
Ummm ... Sarcasm Much?
Sarcasm is the primary purpose of religion.
AND a new definition from Mirriam Vonu Webster!
I wonder if Vonu is actually my hyper-critical, cranky, agnostic older brother (?)....I love the guy but even more truly enjoy watching his buttons get pushed by all of the lesser-thans. Intelligent, witty, acridly biting and above the rest.. .quite similarly how Vonu seems to come across to many on the C & C Substack commentary. You Rock Vonu...keep it up!
That would be impossible since I never had a brother.
Is Marriam anything like Merriam-Webster?
Marriam? Read closely for typos, and try reading beyond the dictionary cover. 🤣
I can't be bothered with the likes of such discussions on a day like this. I spend Sundays praying to Godgle.
Regarding mosquitoes: why don’t they just start spraying again like they do in Florida? They stopped spraying in the mid Atlantic area, and now we have mosquitoes all day and all the way till November.
The spraying is to poison everything inclusing the people. They want the mosquitoes, that's why they keep dumping them across the country in the 100's of thousands. They say its because they're modified to kill the mosquitoes that carry malaria, dengue fever, etc. Right👌
Trillion-dollar deficits and mass illegal immigration, and the fed is preoccupied with mosquitos. Give me liberty or give me DDT and Deet or some sage, basil, and mint to plant around my house.
Yes, everyone needs to read up on this. Kris Newby's book, Bitten, makes it pretty clear.....
I can’t recommend enough that you all get on the Tucker Carlson podcasts. Tucker and company are doing a 16 city tour in support of Trump and saving the Nation. He was in Phoenix, AZ first and featured Russell Brand. I knew little of Brand but how interesting he was. His conversion to Christianity and how deeply he has gone. Yesterday he was in L.A. and had Vivek Ramaswamy on. So very good. This man needs to be president someday. RFK Jr is a special guest also. This tour is so uplifting. It doesn’t hide the bad but makes clear, it ain’t over, until it’s over.
Watched the segment with Vivek and RFK. Outstanding. Have to say that RFK seems extremely worried, as we all are. Initially, he told his supporters that if they did not live in a swing state that could harm Trump in anyway., that they could vote for him. now he is telling us to vote for Trump no matter what state we are in. He says we need a large victory in the popular vote as well as the electoral college. I think that this is smart and necessary.
He knows Dems cheat; both on the front end & the final counting.
That’s the part that disturbs me greatly.
Fair process from registration to final count - I’m confident of a Trump landslide.
We had a trump landslide in 2020. See how that worked out?
Yes am sure he’s aware how his own uncle became President. Thanks Mayor Daley!!
Good to hear that! Popular vote may matter if no one gets to 270EVs.
Everyone concerned about election and cheating needs to go to
Omega4America
On Substack and also the Internet website. The best strategy to counter the cheating is about to be revealed and it’s not too late. Stay in touch with this website and Substack.
Since RFKJr really has no possibility of winning, I'm glad he is telling his supporters to vote for Trump no matter what. I would love to see him in the Trump admin. in some sort of health policy capacity. What a great addition to the team that would be.
Tucker’s interview with Mike Benz was a major re-education on how the Government really works. I call it “Blob 101”. You can catch it on Rumble.
He’s has Benz on twice in the last few months, both excellent .
I listened and learned the arrest of Pavel Durov and Telegram was not at all what it seemed. Fascinating stuff.
Benz is so intelligent, articulate, and fearless. His X account may just be enough to get one myself.
I worry for his safety.
He better have a food tester and private security.
Yeah, an awesome interview.
Listen to his interview of Darryl Cooper if you want to get a red pill light / baby steps awakening of what really happened in WWII. Elon Musk recommended it, and got vilified for it before he deleted his recommendation post.
Oh, wow. They actually got Elon to delete his endorsement of the podcast? That's crazy. It was a great episode and Darryl Cooper knew going in he was touching the third rail by questioning the mythos of WWII. I think he makes some interesting arguments and I am really looking forward to the long-form podcast. I've listened to several of his series and they are all deeply researched, thoughtful and thorough. If people haven't listened before, I say start with the series he did on Jim Jones and Jonestown. A fascinating look at the cult leader, the community he built the environment in which it all took place. DC is very good at "setting the table" so to speak and providing context to historical events. The lazy smears the past few days have been more emotion than reason.
If you want a full flavored WWII , and much more red pill, sign up for Mike King's daily drops, and buy his books too.
info@realnewsandhistory.com
He is very accurate from all I have been able to collaborate from other trusted sources . By full flavor, I mean NO sacred cows, meaning you better be open to anything. I can assure you most people on this site aren't ready for this yet. You have been warned.
As far as Jonestown goes, I knew the real deal over a decade ago. It was a CIA operation, financed by Michael Hinkley's father (yes, that Hinckley) . He was a close friend of 41, and believe it or not, had dinner with him the night before 41 pulled off his attempted assignation of Reagan. When the US rep announced he was going to visit Guyana to investigate, the CIA panicked, and shut it down "with extreme prejudice". The kool aid was cover. The cult members were given a choice. Instead of the classic "silver or lead " choice, they were given the "kool aid or lead " choice.
Interesting! Thanks, Roland.
EDIT - Just started checking out some of his articles. I think you are correct that his site is very provocative. I may have to consume in small doses mostly because the foundation of my long-held historical world view is crumbling around me lately.
Excellent point.
When you can't question things, like origin of covid, or the holocaust, or the science behind vaccines (topics that get banned on Facebook, or are illegal to dispute in many countries) - then you know you're being subverted and subjugated.
The fact Elon had to delete a point just saying 'interesting podcast' shows how powerful they are to hold on to the grift.
You nailed it. the more vehement TPTB are about forbidding you to question something, the more assured you can be that the opposite is true. You should follow Mike King too. I trust no one implicitly, with the possible exception of Bix Weir and Andy Schectman, so always make up your own mind after careful consideration.
I liked the Daryl Cooper one very much. The one I have liked the least of recent was Jeffrey Sachs. I couldn’t get all the way through it.
Try again. Sachs knows more than anyone else about the financial attacks on Russia. He was in the center of efforts to do the opposite. Which would have made a very different world.
He has an earlier interview with Sachs which is easier to listen to, about the cold war. I listened to the the latest one yesterday and Sachs speech seemed very jerky and disjointed, hard to listen to.
I watched all of those and thought they were excellent. You should go back and listen to Tucker’s interview of Russell Brand and you will get even more details. I thought Russell Brand’s prayer was very deep and wise.
I will re listen to Russell Brand. With his British accent and he speaks quickly, you really have to pay attention. But his prayer at the end was so very good.
Ya, Russell was one of those guys I kinda liked when he was a lib, but I really like him as a conservative. He's more grounded and sage.
He's brilliant, and speaks so well without notes or anything, but yes, he's difficult to keep up with. I've been loving him for a LONG time
I dont think I made it to the end. Brand was too difficult to keep up with. Dr Carson was just the opposite. My bf and I both fell asleep during that one. :)
I loved every minute of Dr. Carson. Huge admirer of this good man.
Ben’s not as fun as Ramaswamy and Brand. But he’s a very good man, solid on policy, and deliberately slow seems like a good quality in a brain surgeon.
I’ve watched both, the Russell Brand one yesterday while I was cleaning a client’s house, earbud in. I laughed out loud many times with some of the things Brand said. He can be cleverly funny and engaging.
Yet on the other hand, his testimony was equally engaging and I teared up with emotion.
I loved the interview with R. Brand. Had no idea he had accepted Christ and had been baptized. His prayer at the end was fab.
I’ve got it in the queue to watch next! Just finished the Tucker, Vivek, RFKJr episode. Fantastic!!
He is such a testimony of God’s redemptive power! I remember thinking … Russell Brand is speaking LOGIC… !? Now it’s just tears of joy! And he is hysterical!
The accent doesn’t hurt either, must be my Monty Python upbringing that makes the comedy funnier 😂
Wife got us tickets to Tucker's Tulsa show this coming Wednesday.
Dan Bongino is appearing with TC, so that's sub-optimal (I can't stand Yankees) but I'm still looking forward to it.
Whoah! Bongino’s a Yankee?! My guard is up now.
I was up from Texas among Minnesotans some years back. They asked silly questions about Texas, and I casually used the term “Yankees.” I don't know why they took it personally. Now my guard is up around Minnesota Yankees.
Even a deaf spirit obeys the voice of Jesus Christ!
Now when Jesus saw that a crowd was rapidly gathering, He rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, “You mute and deaf spirit, I command you, come out of him and do not enter him again.” And after crying out and throwing him into terrible convulsions, it came out; and the boy became so much like a corpse that most of them said, “He is dead!” But Jesus took him by the hand and raised him; and he stood up.
— Mark 9:25-27 LSB
Thus proving we need to speak the Gospel truth even to Democrats.
Meanwhile, wouldn’t it be nice if they were mute.
LOL
Tsk tsk, Janice. And bwahaha!
I know, I know.
Hey, God is not always "nice" either.
BUT He's always JUST
I just read this yesterday!
I have read it so many times, but this morning it jumped out at me that the spirit was deaf and still obeyed Jesus. Such power in that voice and presence.
I think that Putin is mocking us because we have become a complete circus of clowns. He knows that Kamala is a clown. Whatever else one could or might say about Putin, one thing he is not, and that is a stupid or unperceptive man.
Absolutely. Wanting to support her solely because of her laugh? 🤣 He’s taking a page out of the Musk playbook. Mock your adversaries, beat them at their own games.
I think Jeff Childers has said simply to mock them as well. Putin did just that commenting on her laugh.
Best troll EVER!
Her very real, infectious JOY is such a great contrast to Angry Vengeful Evil of Trump-MAGA Republicans.... so the Media and TimMouthy WalzNutz tell us
I see Kamala's laugh the same as I saw Hillary's laugh: evil and demonic. Hillary laughed at Ghaddafi in the throes of a gruesome death. Evil.
Kamala probably laughs at the 'delight' of abortion as we know that she supports actual infanticide. Evil.
Then look at a woman like Tulsi Gabbard and note the difference. She is serious and logical and smart.
Just a look at their faces & demeanor is a mirror of the souls. My opinion
💯
I wonder.....how he didn't burst out laughing when he said that.
I remember he said something like a sarcastic dig about Biden too when he got in. Something about his age situation, but I don't remember it. Russian humor is dry and sarcastic.
A Biden sandwich; 2 dried up pieces of white bread with a slice of baloney between.
(Actually a heaping pile of Bullshit). Just like Joe Biden, Everything that KowMala touches turns to SH-T. Everything.
He kind of did if you watch and listen and speak Russian…
Because he was career KGB?
Completely agree.
Putin is against everything she bows to…because she doesn’t stand for anything. She serves her master.
He’s just dibbling around with the lefties for his own amusement.
Lol! Left getting freaked out:
https://www.rt.com/news/603617-white-house-responds-putin-backing-harris/
I’m pretty sure Mr. Putin is scared to death of John Kirby 🤣
When I heard his endorsement of her, the thought ran through my mind that maybe his endorsement would enrage the Left and they wouldn’t vote for her.
When it comes down to it, I think it’s easier to deal with a leader one may not like but garners respect, rather than dealing with an idiot.
Yes...Putin's a genius! He knows a bad "leader" when he sees one and he's just messing with the Dems. I love it!!!
Lol! They are freaking out!

Mosquito lockdown?? Is someone yanking my giggle chain? Just what in the hell are they putting in the water in the NE corridor of the U.S.? Run fast. Run far. As a side note: The mosquitos are so big in Maine that you can see them coming from quite a distance and they sound like Blackhawk helicopters. It's the black flies that'll tear you up. Insidious little turds. Makes picking blueberries a hellish adventure.
Perhaps they missed the point that much of the upper U.S. will soon be knee deep in snow and below freezing weather. Mosquitoes are not known to enjoy snow…🤦♀️
Gor-Tex Entomology now be offered at the University of Massachusetts. That 'splains it.
😂
Billy Bob with the man boobs GMO mosquitoes.
Billy Boobs?...Yeah, I know....Life's a gamble....I'll take my chances. The NE seems to be the first to dip their toe in Weird Lake.
Guess no one thought about what could possibly go wrong with GMO mosquitoes.
Or...maybe they did...and that was their plan.
💥🛎🛎🛎🎯👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Some of their towns were the first to 'voluntarily quarantine' at the beginning of the scamdemic.
Unfortunately, we are not yanking your chain. MA and VT have indeed recently instituted curfews at night over mosquitoes. I'll give them a little credit this time for being able to identify that mosquitoes are more active at night, thus the nightly curfews. At least that's better than randomly deciding that bars have to close at 11pm to prevent the spread of Covid, because, well, just because they said so.
If you live in those areas, slap on some bug repellent if you want, stock up on ivermectin in case Billy Boob ever does release something nasty , and get out there and enjoy your life! Do not comply.
DO NOT COMPLY.
I’d imagine the Gates GMO mosquitoes released messed with the ecosystem. Add to that the chemical sprays and we have another DDT lesson we should have learned from.
https://www.khon2.com/local-news/why-millions-of-mosquitos-could-be-released-on-maui/ but another article on Telegram says this is not a good thing… wonder why it isn’t coming up when I search for it, even Duck Duck Go? Maui ‘Ground Zero’ for Release of Billions of Biopesticide Lab-Altered Mosquitoes
Up to 775,992,000 bacteria-infected mosquitoes could be released in Maui every week for the next 20 years, according to Hawaii Unites, an environmental advocacy group that last month lost its bid to require the state to conduct an environmental impact statement before allowing the controversial project to proceed.
According to the group’s lawsuit, the state did not perform a sufficient environmental impact study prior to the launch of the project.
https://worldcouncilforhealth.substack.com/p/maui-ground-zero-for-release-of-billions
What could possibly be wrong with this one?? Any politicians still own property there or did they sell off before this started???
Malaria used to be a problem in the United States but mosquitoes were eliminated. I'm wondering if that will become an issue now that we have a population of people crossing our border with malaria in their blood.
Add chiggers and no-see-ems to the list.
Eric, 2 popular yearly events were recently cancelled in Burlington, VT since the "Health" Dept is stating people should remain indoors from 6pm-6am because of the threat of mosquitoes carrying whatever causes EEE. All this based on 3 cases in NE 2 recovered, I death of an already severely ill person (and as with alleged "COVID" I question if it was EEE.) How about I'll take my chances? It's a slippery slope allowing govt to dictate your personal choices. I contacted one of the organizers, no response yet. My guess is he'll just parrot the "Health" Dept's suggestions.
Wouldn't it be better if they just invested a little in free bug repellent or Skin So Soft for all attendees? Health Dept. employees have turned into weathermen...they sensationalized every little storm to feed their ego and keep themselves relevant.
Same in Alaska. Mosquitoes are the state bird 😄
That description of the mosquitos in the NE reminds me of Jumanji. 😉
Yeah, but you have those delicious blueberries! Envious!
Gads, I watch a Swedish YouTuber named Jonna Jinton who lives in the gorgeous arctic circle, but the summer mosquitoes look like absolute hell. I never would have put Sweden + Mosquitoes together, but it looks worse than any Carolina Pocosin I’ve ever been berry-picking in.
Prior to 2014 Putin seemed to think Russia and the USA could engage in plus sum exchanges. Maidan coup convinced him otherwise. No more good will because America has become Russia’s enemy. Putin now wishes ill upon America. Therefore he endorses Kali-ma! Shakhti Devi!! - oops! I meant Kamala - knowing that another four year Democrat administration will devastate the USA even better than a nuclear first strike.
Exactly what I thought. And I’m pretty sure the corrupt media knows this too or why accuse Conservatives for recent Russian interference? More deflect and project.
Best laugh today: “We eat U.S. D.O.J. indictments for breakfast. With lots of sour cream, usually.” 🤣🤣 Love your snark Jeff. Really great summary today.
Jeff usually owns the joke and he didn’t today. Wasn’t sure if russia did say that!
I thought when he mentioned ketchup, that was his admission that this was not a quote from him
Sour cream goes with caviar and borscht.
… “You Americans are so gullible. No, you won't accept communism outright, but we'll keep feeding you small doses of socialism until you'll finally wake up and find you already have communism. We won't have to fight you. We'll so weaken your economy until you'll fall like overripe fruit into our hands.” Nikita Khrushchev…. Putin picked “the finisher”…
If you ignore the political posturing and look at this purely logically from Russia and US being competitors, of course Russia wants Kumallover & Putz versus Trump. It is simple, why would you want strong competent leadership heading up your competition? That's a no-brainer and not exactly a glowing endorsement...
Or optics if Putin “Our sworn enemy” is For Kamala shouldn’t we be against her? 🤔 I can imagine some brainless supporters of her questioning this. Maybe further waking some people up?
Same thought. It's a strategy. But what do I know?
Don’t believe everything the news media tells you… he doesn’t support her.
Putin is smart. The US is not his enemy. Our govt is. He knows that.
He wants Harris because he knows he can run circles around her. I also think his endorsement of her is tongue-in-cheek.
Methinks he holds back a LOT, and things with him will cool down if DJT gets into office.
I actually have a ton of respect for Putin. He loves his country, just as Trump loves his. But i will be drawn and quartered if I admit that publicly. We have all been indoctrinated from day 1 to hate Russia.
AGREE!
True.
Khrushchev was probably his hero :
“We cannot expect the Americans to jump from capitalism to communism, but we can assist their elected leaders in giving Americans small doses of socialism, until they suddenly awake to find they have communism." -- Nikita Khrushchev
Russia under Vlad has shifted like most countries to a more corporate model. China, Vietnam as well. They're all enjoying improving GDPs and general happiness with these systems, so pretty commendable.
Russia is notable having Vlad run the place for over 2 decades... over that time Russia has outpaced Germany for economic output.
Surely Putin says this in jest. 😂
I’m sure he would be first to welcome an end to this proxy war.
Putin has anything to do with Maidan, a function of CIA-controlled Ukrainian deceit?
Thats pretty good analysis Sean.
Thank you!
I would add the liberals want us to believe Russia is something it isn't. It isn't marxist communism, which is what the liberals are, or they'd be welcoming Russia into their NWO. Russia is far more conservative now, but the liberals want us to buy their bullshit about NATO v Russia, etc etc. Its all about them keeping power, dominating the world and subjecting all of us to their will.
Reminder of my own indoctrination: As a young Lieutenant in the Army, I was certain the big red bear was an existential threat to the west, its what I'd been taught. And I stood in the Fulda gap ready to defend to my death with tens of thousands of other Americans - and NATO - kinda. But then Reagan and Glasnost (sp) occurred and the communist USSR dissolved. Capitalism and Conservativism got a foothold. The liberal socialist west is not at all happy about that and so now, they want us to believe Russia is still about the big bad red bear. I don't believe that. I'm not saying Russia is perfect, but look at the USA now, fully under the global marxists thumb. We continue to suffer under massive propaganda and gaslighting efforts of the lying, cheating liberals.
I'm willing to hear counter point if someone wants to convey it?
From the globalists’ vile perspective Russia did something even worse than moving towards capitalism: she has once again embraced her Judeo-Christian system of faith and morals. Therefore no LGBT+ mafia demands, no gender-bending for children and no repudiation of patriotic sentiment.
Yes.
Fulda Gap!
Did you "work" there too?
No. I had friends stationed there. Their unit has a15 minute survivability rating if Wasaw pact attacked.
Yep.
And we will become the communist nation
or more simply - one communist supporting another

Great news that your pops is coming home! I will continue to lift him and the Childers family in prayer that His will be done.
Thank you sir for the work you do. My hope is that more and more people see through the charade and vote the only way that turn this ship around.
Perfectly said, Greg!
I find it funny that the Putin’s compliment of Harris is her laughter…you just know he is laughing inside at how ridiculous she is.
He's trolling the US? He's just laughing at what a joke it has all become..
I just made a meme with Putin and the 2 Cheney's endorsing Kamala.
Jeff, why use the term "assault rifle"? You play right in to the Left's hands doing so. I'll chall it up to a temporary brain cramp on your side.
Unless multiple bullets are fired from a single trigger pull, it’s NOT AN ASSAULT WEAPON.
You’re absolutely right Sherlock. I wish people would get this right…
Furthermore, there are NO legal assault rifles (per your definition) in civilian hands.
Dems please note that you cannot "ban sales" of an item that IS NOT LEGALLY SOLD to civilians.
Roger, what am I missing here? It's completely legal (Federally) to purchase a fully automatic "assault rifle" like a pre-1986 M16 provided one complies with existing regulations contained in the NFA (National Firearms Act), completes an extensive background check, gets ATF approval, and pays a $200 licensing fee. States have added additional restrictions and prohibitions.
That is news to me.
That reminds me that a little while ago I read about a shooting where teenagers (minors, I think 14 years old but not completely sure) used a fully automatic weapon. Completely illegal and yet… they still had it 😕
Glock switch.
May not have been fully automatic RL. There are now triggers available which can make it appear that a weapon is firing fully automatic when in fact it is not. A really good example is Rare Breed Triggers Forced Reset Trigger. See it here: https://rarebreedtriggers.com/ It is currently in litigation, unsurprisingly because of the ATF, DOJ, and all the other criminals in the Resident's un-elected administration.
There are others known as binary triggers which closely simulate full auto.
FTR, unless you are being over run, or reconning by fire, full auto is not a good method for bringing effective fire. It is far better to conserve ammunition by selecting semi-auto and making every shot count. In that regard, get a good scope, Trijicon makes a great scope called the Advanced Combat Optic Gunsight or ACOG and its variants/replacements. The ACOG is engineered specifically for the ballistics of the 55 grain, 5.56 mm ammunition. If you own an AR, you deserve to also own an ACOG, if you seriously want to put rounds on target, out to give or take 800 meters.
Another really cool thing about the ACOG. It is called the "Jesus scope" because on each scope there is a verse from the bible directly cast into the molding. Read about it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trijicon_biblical_verses_controversy
Many do not understand, and some don't want to understand that AR stands for Armalite Rifle, the creator of the M16. It does not mean, nor did it ever mean Assault Rifle. In fact, in Army lexicon, the M16 and variants are described as "small arms".
And yet others want to use the fake name in their unconstitutional quest to disarm us.
Correct. It's an AR-15, the most common rifle platform for hunting and home defense. And no, AR is not "assault rifle," but Armalite Rifles. 🙄
Yes and also skepticism that it could be used for hunting.
I’m all for my legal constitutional right to purchase and use any legally sold weapon in the USA. But come on! Only Elmer Fudd needs a semi-auto to kill a dear, or a squirrel for that matter.
Semi-automatic simply means it fires one shot for each trigger pull. Almost every pistol, rifle, and shotgun sold is a semi-auto.
I own several semi-automatic pistols, multiple semi-automatic rifles, and a semi-auto shotgun.
There's nothing unusual about semi-auto firearms.
And as a teen, I hunted squirrels with a semi-auto.22
And the political drama goes on to keep us distracted from the actual threat that is looming over us. Afraid to look up? Your life depends on having the courage to look. This video is the most important video I've even seen. And it is alarming. Remember, to be forewarned is to be forearmed.
Everyone should listen to this interview with Doug Casey and Michael Yon. I recommend watching it in the morning or at least not before bed.
https://www.youtube.com/live/v2H0PQRq7pw
Michael Yon has been spot on with his reporting, and given his background and experience, is someone to listen too. Thx for posting this. Will watch later this morning.
… yes… both Micheal Yon and JJ Carroll have been sounding the alarms… Seth Holehouse “Man in America” has been covering this catastrophe… his latest from yesterday: https://www.youtube.com/live/zGuVnCcaEPs?si=eexMF_O7_DF15R0g
Yes, Michael Yon will wake you up if nothing else will. First saw him on the HighWire and watched a shocking segment complete with videos of the untapped river of humans coming in, including many military age, Chinese men, as well as men coming from Venezuela, affiliated with Hezbulla (probably spelled that wrong) and not a lot of people that actually look like families. The Chinese camps in Central America are highly guarded, and Michael and his party were not allowed to get too close to the camp or speak to the people. On one occasion he got close, and they pretended to be Korean. Michael happens to speak a bit of those languages and called them on their lie. They just laughed darkly. He details some of the NGO’s and government organizations and countries who are funding all of this, including the US, Canada, and Israel. There is no doubt they are hoping that with our declining birth rate and the invasion of huge numbers of immigrants, that we will atomize and lose our country and our constitution.
You also have weirdo Mayorkas and his close ties [on the board] of HIAS.
Exactly. Divide and conquer.
🎯
Thanks for posting. Michael Yon has been warning us, and it seems like people are asleep.
Yes…
Thanks for the warning to not watch before bed.😀 This video is a fresh reminder of what we are facing. I'm grateful for 3 things in light of this invasion: 1) Having a strong spiritual foundation and faith that no matter what happens, God is holding my hand. 2) I am several years already into seniorhood; therefore, I don't have this to face in the way young people do who are just starting out in life (I truly feel compassion for them). 3) I live in Florida, which seems the best place to be under these circumstances. Thank you for all your enlightening comments and posts. God bless us all!
Number 1 is definitely #1.
Absolutely! If someone doesn't have that, they don't have anything of substance. If they do have it, nothing else matters in reality.
Yes this is a great interview packed with useful info.
In light of Yon's interview, this map becomes highly relevant:
https://cis.org/Map-Sanctuary-Cities-Counties-and-States
"Zones and areas have already been allocated to certain areas of the United States. These concentrated areas will be used to allow UN funded migrant gangs to be taken over. Eventually leading to UN troops and FEMA regions. This is all part of the plan. Order out of chaos or "Ordo ab Chao, as the Masonic motto so elegantly puts it."

Also, highly relevant is this predictive map produced by Martin Armstrong........

🎯😖
Seriously frightening though… both Yon and Carroll provide startling proof “replacement theory” is not a conspiracy theory… it’s an all out global operation with the US government complicity… and it’s getting frightening all too real…
Given his background and the fact that he is bringing his opinion based on actual, real world "boots on the ground" observations, one has to take Yon seriously as an authoritative source. Yesterday, Childers gave us his "theory" about the immigration issue. I rarely disagree with Childers observations but I found myself diametrically at odds with his theory.
https://open.substack.com/pub/coffeeandcovid/p/puzzles-friday-september-6-2024-c?r=u78oh&utm_campaign=comment-list-share-cta&utm_medium=web&comments=true&commentId=68045691
I believe this is the "sell" narrative that the deep state is pushing to cover their motivations and plans for what they are doing. This is NOT immigration - illegal or otherwise! This is an invasion - planned, financed and organized by the deep state who is using the Marxist Regime to accomplish. I can't say that strongly enough. Folks, this is an actual invasion of massive numbers of single military aged men who are being paid by our Gov't though their NGOs. The latest estimates are 50 million illegals are now in our backyard.
Bear in mind, that the majority of these men are Muslims from the Subcontinent. Islam is a militaristic faith based on force or violence. Their belief is that anyone who is not of their faith must be exterminated. I am not exaggerating. You cannot assume they have the same let's-get-along mindset that we have. These men come from war torn countries (in large part thanks to the USG empire) and they are hardened men. They bear only animosity towards Americans and American culture. We are about to reap what we have been sowing since 1860 with our forever wars.
Understand, "invasion" is war. Plain and simple. Just because no one is shooting at you, yet, does not mean we are not DOMESTICALLY at war. This war will soon go kinetic. We all have to come to grips with that in our minds. If we do not, then, as Yon says, we will freeze and that will get all of us killed. Self-imposed denial is what got the Christians and Jews killed in Nazi Germany and it is what got the naive Russians killed in the Bolshevik's revolution and gulags.
We ALL mentally want to impose "normalcy bias" upon our observations. It is a natural mental defense mechanism. Overpower it with your intelligence. Childers theory is a misdirect. Nothing the deep state does is for the purpose of prospering our country! Bottom line, their only goal is power through destruction and enslavement. For our children and grandchildren, we have to be cognitively independent. And spiritually, we have to be armed with the REALITY of God's Providence. Arm you mind with Psalm 2 and Psalm 91. Start there and then tackle this reality head-on!
"Yesterday, Childers gave us his "theory" about the immigration issue. I rarely disagree with Childers observations but I found myself diametrically at odds with his theory."
I had the same reaction. Childers' theory is the 'limited hangout' IMHO.
To be honest, if Childers came out and said something like I said, he would probably be attacked and put his substack in jeopardy. I think it is "interesting" that Childers postulated his post as "only a theory" and then invited everyone to give their opinion. Food for thought... "Wise as serpents..." comes to mind.
… why else would NYC arm the city with hazmat gear, tactical military vehicles, National Guard military personnel if not prepping for martial law … they might use the excuse potential riots if Trump is jailed, but his sentencing date was moved to Nov 12… I’m puzzled by Jeffs benign reporting when James O’Keefe has held nothing back reporting about the illegals in Denver ~even~ being given the green light to “FIRE ON POLICE OFFICERS” with proof documents… as reported by Seth Holehouse Man in America in yesterdays podcast. This is not a time to soft peddle this treasonous danger to every citizen invasion… thank you Political Phil for refocusing on the urgent need to be prepared for MASSIVE civil unrest… Aurora in every city is the game plan… 🙏🙏🙏🙏

They've charged the latest school shooter's parent as an accomplice.
Yet they never do that with the many more shootings that happen in the ghetto schools, even as many of these kids are younger, making the parent even more a part of the crime.
The psychiatrists prescribing those dangerous drugs should be considered accomplices.
I agree. This is another issue Democrats will only consider one solution - take all the guns. But if they were really serious about addressing the whole of the issue, they should be open to looking at all factors.
I would like to see statistics on that, not saying that they don’t happen, but I hear a lot more about fights and maybe knifings in ghetto schools than shootings, mass or otherwise. It seems like that is mostly a suburban problem. Which would square with the psych meds and gender confusion anger issues. Is the press/media just ignoring the inner city school shootings, or do they actually happen less often? I can see either being true.
I think the inner city schools use metal detectors more than suburban schools.
Yes true. Good point.
I think more of their shootings happen outside of the school and in the neighborhood streets. But I agree with you that suburban school shootings reflect a mental health neglect issue, and what attention mental health is getting is being done the wrong way.
Yes I agree about more shootings happening outside schools and on the streets. That’s been my impression at least.
Just watch a couple episodes of "First 48" to get a taste of how the shootings are going down and who's doing them. About one in every 25 episodes, maybe fewer, is about a white person perpetrating a crime, and it's usually against another white person. The overwhelming number is black people in white or black people.
A heartbreaking ep recently involved a 16-year old black male who, in one day, perpetrated burglary, robbery, rape, AND murder, all on 5-7 white people. He was eventually sentenced to life for 20 felonies
We must never forghetto.
I remember when they charged the parents in Michigan with crimes some lawyers raised the uncomfortable question about holding parents in the inner cities responsible for gang shootings (and there we know there are several underage kids killing people usually as some form of gang initiation). I guess the one difference is the parents (or more likely the single mom) doesn't usually provide the weapon as the father in Georgia apparently did. Anyway, I do think this is another slippery slope on which many people could slip.
The Georgia dad was specifically warned and specifically promised to keep guns secured and that the son only had supervised access. So.
Yikes. Yes, that is bad. He really appeared completely broken when he appeared in court. I honestly can't imagine being ANY of the parents involved in a school shooting incident - it is just too terrible to contemplate.
It's a trend in the news right now. Michigan shooter parents found guilty and now this dad. They're building their color army to get the public to pressure gun owners.
« landing can also be an important part of the whole commercial flying process. »
I LOVE Jeff’s dry humor!
Glad to hear about your Dad! 🙏🏻
I am beginning my 3rd worst day ever at my failing fathers bedside. He has been on Hospice for 6 weeks. It is a most horrible experience. A don’t believe the nurse expects him to survive the weekend. Heaven awaits him and we are glad for that! I can’t take much more stress and not sleeping. Thankful for enough manna to get through each day.
Praying for you and your dad and your whole family 🙏 May He give you strength and peace.
Prayers for your Dad, you and your family. There is nothing worse than watching someone you love the most struggling to make the transition from this life to the next, while the rest of the world goes on around you as if nothing has changed. I pray that Jesus will open his arms and receive your Father into his loving embrace and that the Holy Spirit will comfort those who love him who are left behind.to navigate life without him.🙏💔
And take care of yourself while you endure this difficult time. Praying for health and comfort. 🙏🏻
Prayers to you.
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
Prayers for you all!
