Iran lost its own mines. Swalwell lost control of an exploding narrative. The WSJ lost the real cause of our health crisis. A terrific judicial appointment should delight MAHA. And more.
A Saturday Note of Hope which seems to be the daily theme here at C&C, Thank You Jeff!
Hebrews 6:19 (NIV) states: "We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure."
As we know an anchor is something that holds a boat in place. Once the captain gets to his destination he puts the anchor down, this way he won’t drift and end up in places he doesn’t want to be. When the boat is anchored it may move a little bit, with the waves, the winds, a storm may come, but the captain is not worried he can relax, he knows the anchor is down.
So what’s going to keep our soul in the right place? What’s going to help you to move beyond your problems? To reach your goals? It’s when you anchor your soul to hope. That means no matter what you face, no matter how big the difficulty, no matter how long it’s taking, you know God is on the throne. You know His plans for you are for the good, that He’s bigger than any challenge you face. When your anchored to this hope nothing moves you, the winds, the waves, the storms that may come, your not worried the anchor is down.
No matter what you go through, a lose, a bad medical report, a job that falls through, many would throw in the towel. When your emotions are being pulled towards discouragement or bitterness but something is holding you back, you can’t explain it. Deep down inside you hear a voice saying everything is going to be alright, God has beauty for these ashes, that’s the anchor of hope. When you’re anchored to hope God will make things happen that you could never make happen.
There will always be something trying to convince us to pull up your anchor. Delays, disappointments, bad breaks. In the tough times when life doesn’t seem fair, when your prayers haven’t yet been answered, when resolve is taking longer than you thought, you have to make sure you keep your anchor down. If you pull it up you will drift into bitterness, discouragement self pity. When you’re anchored to hope it’s like you’re tied to it. You can’t drift. You may have some negative thoughts, thoughts of doubt, you may think this is never going to work out, but that’s when your faith will kick in. No, I know the answer is on the way. Every time those negative thoughts come, trying to pull you away, your anchor keeps you stable. As for me and my house we will serve the lord.
The question at this point in history is do you have your anchor down. Have you kept this hope? Do you have this expectancy that you will accomplish your dreams, that your family will be restored or that our country will get back on track? The enemy would like nothing more than for you to pull up your anchor and drift into hopelessness, not expecting anything good. The scripture says faith is the substance of things hoped for. You can’t have faith if you don’t first have hope.
One time David had a lot coming against him. He was down and discouraged. He felt overwhelmed by life. He’d given up on his dreams and things got worse and worse. He finally said to himself “why are you cast down oh my soul, hope in the Lord”. He recognized he let his circumstances convince him to pull up his anchor. He said in effect I’m going to put my anchor back down, I’m going to hope in the Lord.
You may not have any reason to be hopeful, but we need to do like David and hope in the Lord. Don’t put your hope in your circumstances, they may not turn out the way you thought. Don’t put your hope in people, they may let you down. Don’t put your hope in your career, things may change. Put your hope in the Lord, in the God who put worlds into existence. When you have your hope in him the scripture says in the end you will never be disappointed.
These days filled with turbulence and a political party that is AGAIN plotting to divide this country and burn it to the ground, we must stay anchored to hope and know they will again fail. I know that many of us, especially myself from time to time, need to be reminded we are all blessed to live here in America.
And if that all fails, see your local big pharma trained Dr......get pilled up, and stay current on all your jabs... because your 60" television told you to. That pretty much explains at least 80 to 90% of church goers.
Did you mean to indicate "less than" with your > symbol? That one means "greater than", which might express your opinion. Personally, I think the < symbol is more accurate. But I'm an optimist.
It's sadly true that many who go to church, do not actually understand or accept the faith that the Church exists to teach - and that some so-called "churches" have no real connection to the gospel at all. But try to see it as an opportunity rather than a problem - these people at least are on-board with the idea of "church", they just need to be taught what the Gospel really is! (Not that all of them will accept it, but they will at least know what it is they are rejecting, and perhaps stop pretending to believe in a faith they don't hold.)
Thank you once again JG for solid, Scripture-based wisdom. Since being born again, I have always retained this anchor of faith and hope through some of the worst trials anyone could experience. And yet I know we are all grappling with something straining at our anchor chain. God seems to remind me again and again that “nothing stays the same for very long.” That includes the good times and the bad. But to ride out the waves and storms with unwavering confidence in the One who loves us is the best thing we can do. (See Isaiah 40: 28-31) And anytime I need a dose of affirming hope, David’s Psalms are a great place to start.
Yes, Jesus is our anchor and scripture is our truth! Remember that always when the days are confusing and spreading lies about our faith. The 5 Solas: Sola Scriptura (Scripture alone), Sola Fide (faith alone), Sola Gratia (grace alone), Solus Christus (Christ alone), and Soli Deo Gloria (glory to God alone). From the Protestant Reformation, but good for all of us.
Thank you, James, for a wonderfully uplifting comment! It illustrates how our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ is the tent under which we all huddle and take cover from the slings & arrows of our adversaries (the Dhimmicrats & other such scoundrels)...Huzzah, indeed!
And may I ask Mr Childers for clarification on "kick dancing"? Is that the Drag Queen version of the "Can-Can"? It would go along with Fang Fang, would it not? Or, Swalwell is getting Canned-Canned...🤷🏼🤷🏼🤷🏼
Thanks CStone, I went through the comments earlier and started driving. I finally stopped and caught “thrown”. Not sure how I missed that??? Thanks CStone I finally fixed it!!
What a sweet relief that we can ALWAYS rest in the arms of our sweet Savior, knowing that He ALWAYS has our best interest at heart. Thank you, Jesus! And thank you, Mr. Goodrich for your pearls of wisdom!
We often ask God to change the situation we are in.
Consider that God has put us there to change us.
Tomorrow is Divine Mercy Sunday.
Eternal God, in whom mercy is endless, and the treasury of compassion inexhaustible, look kindly upon us, and increase your mercy in us, that in difficult moments, we might not despair, nor become despondent, but with great confidence, submit ourselves to Your holy will, which is Love and Mercy itself. Amen.
I liked James' analogy of keeping our anchor during stormy times...
As I found out recently, back in late September of 1975, my wife wrote the following in one of her journals:
" I love only God – in Him are all good things – these I love, but through Him.
Where are your songs of joy, of gladness, children of God – where are your glad hearts?
The Lord is like the cool breeze which makes all creatures glad on a hot summer's day. He sings a song of joy to us, He whispers in our ears: Come my children, let us dance, to the halls of the King we shall go. Tall trees make its walls, a cool river is its floor – yes, this is the palace of the Lord. We shall dance on the silver waters and the voice of God will sing: My loves, look up and see the sun, your brother, He comes to join your joy – And the rays of the sun dance on the river of life – the tall green trees sway in the whispering breeze – and the children of God are glad.
The Lord Jesus told of an approaching storm in which the tree would stand firm despite the swirling waters and the heavy, dark winds. "Its fruits will cling to it and the storm shall be of no avail against it." Even now rays of sunlight occasionally pierce the gray clouds that hover over me.
He says for me not to fear, that the Lord God, Jesus Christ is with me. He said I shall hear the silver bell of truth pealing, always, tolling the death knoll for some, and the resurrection for others.
But must I tell you that all I wish for is to live in Jesus Christ in peace?"
Thanks James! I needed to hear that again even though I'm anchored I get afraid of the wind and waves. Thank God that He sustains us even when we are afeared. He will not allow us to sink being His reach. Sing then over again to me The wonderful Words of Life. Let me more of His beauty see The wonderful Word of Life. Word of Life and beauty teach me faith and duty. Beautiful Words wonderful Words wonderful Words of Life.
I love this!❤️. Let go, Let God! I struggled for many many years to get the home I wanted and had worked so hard for. It faced one horrible situation after another. Finally… finally… I gave it up. I let go. I literally gave it away. And God put me in a much more beautiful house I bought sight unseen, on top of a beautiful hill, in the middle of a wonderful community of people where peace and love abounds. Our happiness and salvation is linked only to Him and his son, Jesus Christ! All the rest is just distraction.
Just reading this today, Sunday, when I really needed it. I've held tightly to God's promises for nearly a year, with God's peace that surpasses understanding. But the last two weeks have been an immense struggle for me - I started feeling quite hopeless - indeed, the enemy was calling me to pull up my anchor. God's had me focusing on Deut 28:1-14, studying one verse for a few days each. Today that study led me to Gen 49:25... More promises of blessing.
Your post was just the perspective I needed to remind myself of the anchor. Thank you!
And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in real knowledge and all discernment, so that you may approve the things that are excellent, in order to be sincere and blameless until the day of Christ; having been filled with the fruit of righteousness which comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.
Did anybody else see the video where a reporter went out into a crowd of liberals and asked, "Since Trump in trying to protect the Strait of Hormuz, do you think he should also protect the gays of Hormuz?" and some of them hilariously came unglued over Trump's policy then ranted about the inequity in only protecting the straight of Hormuz.
JUST watched this, and after picking up my dropped jaw, cleaning up the spewed coffee from everywhere, calming the upside down cat who sprung to the ceiling when I did so, and wiping the flow of laughter tears from my face, I realized, "these retards actually VOTE and are the incoming generation of congress, teachers, law officers, and the general personnel running of a country!"
The bigger WTF is knowing that each and every one of them actually have a mini supercomputer in their hands at all times, LOADED with all kinds of info, but never actually use it for anything other than TDS posits!
Thanxs for sharing this.
Coffee, coffee spatter, and 😮 all in one decision.
True. My daughter teaches 6th grade science, and she prepared a big bunch of interesting information about the moon launch and her kids not only didn't seem to know it had happened, they didn't care and most weren't especially interested. I remember the moon launch in 1969 and how excited everyone was and it was all over the news, and everyone, kids and adults alike, were watching it with great excitement.
We were a more cohesive society back in 1969. There were only 3 major networks.
The majority of morning coffee pot conversations began with “Did you see Carson last night?”
The Artemis space flight was all over the news, but there are hundreds, if not thousands of other items to watch via streaming that garner people’s attention. And don’t forget video games and the ubiquitous social media. Our society is terribly fragmented, much to my and others’ disappointment. Americans seem to be losing their common identity.
I frequently discuss this situation with my friends.
BTW, I’m 69 and was exited about the moon launch along with the rest of America.
Interesting (and saddening) that when people have a greater access to information than ever before, they are less informed than people were before the internet.
Agree. Their life fulfilling mission will be either to glom off someone with a well paying job or work in an office where their memos will be deleted at the next layoff and they will be forgotten.
you've not sat in on a public school classroom lately, have you? Most "occupants" in those classrooms can't even tell you the name o the capitol city in their own state. Many o their progenitors don't even know whether they are male or phemale Used to be a regular at the local contra dances, but since hey don't even remember their own gender and now call the dances by larks and robins, (I don't even know which means which....) I quit going. I decline to associate with people who are that iggerunt......
Back in the 1920’s, the New York City public school system was awash with immigrant children from Ireland, Sicily and the Balkans (that is the new kingdom of Yugoslavia). The classrooms were reportedly chaos from the detritus of these immigrants who sought a better life.
These children somehow managed to defeat fascism during WW2. I expect no less from the present generation of ignoramuses. When they file their first federal income tax return, they will know that all they learned in high school was crap, to quote Paul Simon in his song Kodachrome.
Says the guys who are yet again being totally duped by Trump. Stupid is as stupid does. Trump is destroying the country. Literally, and you can't even see it because you have been convinced he's playing 10D chess. He's quite possibly being blackmailed by israel/mossad as I don't know how else to explain him throwing his base under the bus with this idiotic war.
Are you proud of the trump family grift? The bidens must be jealous. Maybe Jeff Childers is getting payments from salem media? It would help to explain the mindless propaganda around his wartime writings:
Why don't you try adding something to the conversation rather than slinging insults at people you don't agree with - because you can't defend or refute my statements. You are the washed up one.
Love that. I always see Jesus’ frankness as offensive to the Christians of today. I read every word he ever spoke multiple times by the time I was 12. Maybe that’s why I developed into such a frank personality?
“Grace doesn’t mean avoiding conflict. Respect doesn’t mean staying quiet in the face of hypocrisy. Sometimes love looks like healing someone, and sometimes it looks like asking a question so piercing it forces the other person to see the truth.” I’ll admit I need to get better at identifying the questions that pierce rather than laying down the truth like I do. Lol
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but in the jihadism movement involving Muslims, they are destine to glory and praise to Allah when they die as martyrs. Trump is definitely being sarcastic when he says this.
Yes, true, but imho, saying this was also obnoxious and provoking. Personally, I have always disliked this side of his personality. Just being objective. I like other aspects though. We are all complex creatures, some more than others.
I think that’s what we quietly like about him. He says out loud the things we think silently. Sometimes he goes too far, agreed, but for too long we were the “nice guys” and that’s why we are in the mess we are in. IMO
I agree Angela but I have grown to accept Trumpie and his wild-ass remarks as:
"hey, that is just Trump being Trump" . . . I refused to vote for him in 2016-- but always since-- because of his insults to the other 15 Repubs in the primaries.
Voted in protest for Cruz, or was it Little Marco?!
As much as I personally find it entertaining and satisfying, trolling all Muslims like that (including the ones who are currently allied with us for the purposes of Iran war) is probably not a great look for the POTUS.
Aldi sells halal meat. That's meat slaughtered according to Islamic practices and sacrificed to Allah. Christians should not eat meat sacrificed to the devil.
So then, about eating food sacrificed to idols: We know that “An idol is nothing at all in the world” and that “There is no God but one.” For even if there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as indeed there are many “gods” and many “lords”), yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we live; and there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we live. But not everyone possesses this knowledge. Some people are still so accustomed to idols that when they eat sacrificial food they think of it as having been sacrificed to a god, and since their conscience is weak, it is defiled. But food does not bring us near to God; we are no worse if we do not eat, and no better if we do. ~ 1 Corinthians 8:4-8
If your conscience is weak, don't eat. If it isn't, enjoy the steak (without deliberately offending your brothers and sisters in Christ).
It really surprises me how short people memories are. Even more “diplomatic” presidents did things and said things to send messages to opposition like Bush Sr’s intentional pejorative pronunciation of Sadam (Hussein). Or Reagan’s breaks in protocol to show America’s leadership like refusing to bow before England’s Queen. (Didn’t Nancy refuse to curtsy as well?).
I didn’t vote for Trump to be my pastor, family counselor, nor emotional support president. We had to have someone tough as nails to START tackling our countries many, many problems. God bless him and protect him as he works. He won’t make every decision I think he should make but I am not sitting in that Oval Office with tons of weighty information to navigate. It has to be so frustrating making strides forward just to have constant set backs and opposition at every turn.
yup. When I read that line the 1st time I was somewhat disgusted with him. But then, knowing his track record I had to stop and think... and concluded that he is thanking the chimera-god phoey idol they all worship because that pigment in their imagination is directing them to be so insane and irrational....... keep it up, he says.
I see it as a way to remind everyone that there is ONE Almighty God, and whether a person calls Him Allah or something else, He is the God of EVERYONE. That being the case, it lays bare the ridiculous Muslim view that "others" are the enemy, and that killing all the non-Muslims is NOT glorifying God.
His message to the good guys among them. But wait. Have any of them complained about Iran and its wicked performances? Like condemning its heretical behavior?
R u kidding ! Katie Porter was their darling from the start. She a bigger Bit.. than Hiliary and do not underestimate the dem cheating machines in California. This is terrible news. She will be worse than Spamberger. Women in power are hellacious. Katie “off with their heads “ Porter.
Does anyone here have morals and ethics? People sure like to spout off bible verses and out the other side of their mouth wish death to others around the globe.
I point out that a poster makes a comment (which is completely fair) about Katie Porter's behavior, and I liken it to Trump's behavior - which is also completely fair. I'm not the one who claimed I've never apologized to anyone. That is psychopathy.
Oh really? Did he say this? This is the first claim of this type I've ever heard. Do you have evidence, or is it mental gymanstics you need to complete in order to defend such a gross human?
As I said in a post earlier, there are some aspects of his personality I have always disliked, (bullying, insulting)but others I kind of like (can be very likeable and even leadership at times). We are all complex creatures, some more than others. Trump is definitely quite a complex personality. He comes from a cutthroat real estate background.
How many real New Yorkers have you spent much time with? Trump is classic to that upbringing. I've known some. Much like he is. Get used to it. Stereotyping? Yup.. becaise i works.
LOL Tio..I AM one!!! Born in Manhattan and raised in Brooklyn, and then back to Manhattan. Yes he is very NY. I said, I like him and don't like him..even back in the day. That has nothing to do with my approval of his job as President. You don't need to defend him. I am quite objective in that I can give praise where it is due. Sadly many people cannot. I see it at work and social groups all the time. They don't like someone so they don't praise anything.
Fuck you you piece of shit. You love your leaders that bomb schools full of girls? You love your leaders that cover for Epstein class? You are the one with questionable motives, not I.
It seems like good news if they chuck Swalwell and nominate Porter. Like Clinton and Harris, she's not very likeable to the average voter. Even some Democrats can probably detect that she is a horrible human being and think that's a bad thing (many more are sympatico with horrible and think that's a wonderful qualification). There may be just enough sane people and unmotivated Dems for Hilton to slide in to governor.
Or California will just elect the worst possible person like usual. Tough to go wrong with that prediction.
Well yeah that's pretty much a given, though at least when it comes to statewide races, Im not sure the dems need "fortification" to get the numbers. There are a healthy majority of suicidal nuts statewide.
Well my conservative sister lives in the San Bernardino area and says it's pretty conservative, but that if an R in a state race is ahead on election night, that they will keep finding ballots until the D wins. She has started getting more involved politically, and is frustrated by election integrity issues.
“…throbbing problem…Viagra is wearing off…Swallow-well…stiffened their resolve…engorged…pictures of Dick Nixon…Politico whipped out the settlement…firmest defender…performance failures [Viagra, anyone?]…”
As a recipient of many Dick Nixon photos in my younger years, I just have to ask - why do men think that women would find such photos attractive? 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️. I like a nice voice, broad shoulders, a sense of humor and a good smile, and honestly the only thing I care about “down there” is that you can beat a Vienna sausage. Good grief!
Clean nails and cared-for teeth, they don’t have to be Hollywood but brushed. Dirty raggy nails and yellow gappy teeth, off you go. I know this is harsh but it is what it is.
After (very important) personal hygiene, someone just generally kind and easy going floats my boat. Not too concerned about good looks, hair, muscle or anything else superficial, looks fade but personality and integrity remains. Take note and take heart fellas, women are simpler than you think!
It was always cleanliness and smell for me. If someone looks clean, can even be good looking, but smells like old pastrami, no thanks. Pheromones for the win!
Pervs like him have never gotten over the discovery of their own penis as a five-year-old. And the irony is that they are the probably the ones who eventually "suffer" erectile dysfunction (we can only hope).
I’m almost scared to say it but this has never happened to me and I couldn’t be more grateful for that!! Man how full of yourself do you have to be to send this kind of picture?? 😝
Honestly I think it was the cell phone camera that led to all this. When I was newly divorced and dating online (Match.com or similar), I ended up with enough of them to fill a coffee table book. I used to think about published it as "The Cock Tails Book". It's just nasty and the pictures are never as flattering as the sender thinks they are. Although a girlfriend did send me one of a guy friend of hers who was a tattoo artist ... that was interesting!
And that growth on his face. He probably thinks its 'sexy', but with his coloring it just looks dirty. Back on the farm, my g'ma would have said, "he looks like he's been rootin' on the old sow (momma pig) to get his face that dirty".
Sorry, but when you heard that all your young life, it sticks.
Nobody does penile humor like our esteemed Mr Jeff 😁. I also nearly spit out my coffee at the Dick Nixon reference. What it is with these predators? Perhaps the (hopefully) soon-to-be ex-candidate can link up with the likewise-disgraced Anthony Weiner for a podcast about why sending women pictures of your schwanzstucker is a bad idea.
Same here! Why are women this stupid? If your boss has already proven himself to be a groping pervert, why on earth would you get drunk with him around? Inexcusable on Swallwell’s part regardless, but women need to be more on guard.
I was a freshman in high school when I witnessed drunk girls doing things they'd have never done sober. That was enough for me to swear off alcohol til my 40s.
Negative Nellies are infesting the comments these days. The simplest and surest way to scrub satan's minions out of one's mind is to say GET LOST, YOU DON'T BELONG HERE. So even if they try to stick around and sow anger and chaos, they will not succeed in their mission if they get no feedback.
You click on the commenter’s name, that should take you to their page. Up on the top right, you should see three dots. If you click on that, it should give you several options, one of which is “block.” As far as I am concerned, they can have their own black pilled, complaining, doom and gloom echo chamber here, but I want no part in it.
You’re very welcome! I tried to be nice for too long and tolerated all of these people but last week I decided I’d had enough of the constant negativity and condescending self importance so I blocked all of the posters who added nothing to my perspective or enjoyment of the comment section. It’s so much better now! Like in the old days 🙂
Yes the bad actors show up from time to time. I got into a conversation with one a few years ago on Fox News and they revealed the had Ankylosing Spondylitis which is a very painful back disease and limits mobility. My Uncle had it. So this troll spends his days attacking posters as his entertainment. I felt sorry for him but at the same time wished he could find something more productive to do with his life.
Folks, If you have a desire to live out as many years on Earth as God intended, stop, that's right I said stop going to the doctor and Never go in a hospital.
If you absolutely must go to a doctor, tell him what I told mine immediately after the experimental injections began in late 2020, early 2021, tell the doctor, "Doc, after the failure of your industry to inform the public about the multitude of serious adverse effects from the Covid injections, I am not only injection hesitant, I am also "testing" hesitant."
If you insist on giving your doctor your blood for testing every year, be very prepared for a diagnosis you "weren't" prepared for.
Always keep in mind that most doctors now work for corporations and corporations are in the business of pushing pharmaceuticals, procedures, and lots and lots of "tests."
Be very, very aware of how one diagnosis can change the trajectory of you entire life.
That's it.
Like Scully and Muller famously said, "Trust no one."
Sad, but true! I've been ghosting my regular MD's since I was diagnosed with cancer. I have enough stress without engaging in arguments about how poor their treatment options are. I got this disease from my bad life choices, and I'll fix it or die trying. Conventional treatments virtually guarantee a miserable end of life, financial ruin, and little hope of a cure.
I know somebody who has stage 4 lung cancer, metasticisized (sp?) To his lymph nodes and liver. He is doing his own protocol and now the cancer in his liver and lymph nodes is gone, and his lung cancer reduced by 85%.
If you are interested in knowing his protocol, let me know and I will get you in touch with him.
Sure, I'll take a look at it. I have a protocol in place, but not enough time has gone by to really judge its effectiveness. Several new elements have been added over the past few months, as I've started seeing an integrative practitioner in a neighboring state. It has held off metastasis for a year, and I may have turned a corner on tumor size as well.
"Many have asked what Brad has been doing. He completely changed his lifestyle and nutrition: no sugar, gluten, dairy, seed oils, or processed foods, keeping carbs under 10 grams a day, and practicing intermittent fasting with an 8am–4pm eating window. Alongside immunotherapy, Brad has added high-dose vitamin C IV therapy, hyperbaric oxygen chamber, Hocatt, sauna, RIFE machine, Biomat, red light therapy, AO scans, chiropractor, acupuncture, sauna, and a very intentional supplement and medication protocol, including ivermectin, fenbendazole, methylene blue, and roughly 15 other supplements. This level of commitment is time-consuming, expensive, demanding, and ongoing. Please feel free to reach out if you would like more details to help you or someone you love."
Prayers are always welcome, thanks! I've been researching this relentlessly for almost 2 years, but I never think I know it all. I have some great sources on-line as well as a new MD who knows a lot about all this, so I feel pretty well armed.
You got that right. Today's medicine is an industrial, for-profit model based on medicines that are mostly derived from petroleum products... wait for it... pioneered by the Rockefeller family post American Civil War. Check out a book called "Rockefeller Medicine Men" for the full story. I have been finding that AYURVEDA, the ancient medical system of India/Nepal/Tibet works way better than anything the A.M.A. and big pharma can come up with.
Absolutely stay away from our medical establishment unless you’re involuntarily taken by ambulance. My Asian friend always says it takes 100 days for the body to heal itself. No doctor is going to change those facts barring medical emergencies.
Really pretty and sunny today by me. Cool but not cold. Clear skies. Sitting on my patio right now watching the puppy attack everything it finds in the grass. 😆
80's here in NC - was sunny and clear, but a little haze building up (did they spray again? Probably! It seems the powers that be can't stand a sunny clear day!) I'm going hiking before the day gets away!
Woo-hoo! The woods and hills are beautiful this time of year!
The DOJ should have waited until after the primary. It would’ve been great if it were down to Swalwell and one of the Republicans and then Swalwell got kicked out.
Nancy read the tea leaves and jumped into action. If the Dems had backed him like they did before, they would have been screwed. They realized it and they acted quickly.
Guess what caused the 30 hour fire in the laundry that took the largest US carrier in the fleet out of commission for days? The Green ozone system that replaced the tried and true steam system. And the Brass so proudly touted. Oops. But we were so green for ~1% of all the power the ship consumes.
From the article- "But when it comes to ships like our carriers, submarines, and about 10 other large warships and support vessels whose prime movers are steam turbines, the ozone-based systems are a big, expensive step backward in pretty much every area, including the environment. This is the case because our ships’ high-pressure steam turbines naturally produce relatively low-pressure waste steam that can either be recondensed by using cold ocean water or used to heat water for a ship’s laundry and provide heat for the ship’s clothes dryers. In other words, this is nearly free energy. In contrast, the ozone-based laundry is 100 percent reliant on electricity from the ship’s generators. Thus, steam-reliant laundries are much more energy efficient or “green” than ozone-reliant ones. "
And the llc who sold them the 4,500 acres is a big local real estate company- Robert's Brothers. Not sure where you are but this area is right in the Mobile-Tensaw River Delta also referred to as America's Amazon.
We never had a reason for it since those aren’t OUR primary waterways. Why would we waste money making minesweepers? That’s the job of those who live in that region.
Why do we feel we need to lead the way in clearing the mines? Let the countries that need the Strait spend their resources clearing the mines - and charge Iran for the cost of clearing the mines they've lost track of
“I would love to know what encrypted messaging platform the Democrats use to send out the signal to attack the leading Democrat candidate. Those chat logs would sure be fun to browse.”
Oddly enough, Q told us that they used video game chat logs to communicate in the past. Now, the dems/deep state comms are cut off and being monitored. That’s why you see them scrambling all the time.
I would love to see data comparing those on 1 or more daily prescription drug vs those on none and life expectancy. Some might attribute it to “those not taking meds are healthy, which is why they don’t need them” but I think that “those who are on fewer or no meds are healthier because they don’t take daily meds”
I’m a walking billboard for the truth of this. 30 years on prescriptions left me in terrible health with oodles of conditions and problems, now starting my fifth year free of all of them and it’s a night a day difference. The only thing I struggle with is the side effects one left me with, osteoporosis. But everything else disappeared. I’ve lived on both sides of the fence and can report that routine prescriptions make you less healthy.
Juju—a friend with severely brittle bones (broke her foot stepping off a curb) stopped her soft drink habit (did her own research) and is defying the odds in rebuilding her bones at almost 70. If her PCP knew this info, he did not share it.
"A regular soft drink habit, particularly cola, is linked to lower bone mineral density (BMD) and higher fracture risk in women, largely due to ingredients like phosphoric acid and caffeine interfering with calcium balance. High sugar content can increase calcium loss through urine, while soda often replaces essential, calcium-rich drinks in a diet"
Well I hated soft drinks my entire life. I was that kid in the 70s that had to have water at birthday parties. I even hated pizza. 🤣🤣 The other mothers thought I was so strange
My osteo was a side effect of PPIs throwing my calcium out of whack so badly it cause three of my parathyroids to become tumorous and shut the fourth one down. I lived like that for 6-8 years and it did its damage on my bones.
I had same issue. I used Moringa capsules. Make them using good powder. Also Arnica oil mixed with a carrier oil. I use Apricot oil Took care of mine. Very occasional flare ups. Good Luck.
I switched to a low carb diet and completely cut ALL processed food from my life, both restaurant food and store bought. I cleaned out our pantry and all fridges freezer. Threw away one large box of cr**y food and donated one large box of high carb foods that wouldn’t be considered poison. I make most everything homemade now, or try to. 80-90% of my diet is now meat. I get my carbs from high fiber fresh foods.
I started to walk 3 miles a day 5x/week
I experienced the energy of my 20s by the fourth month and it’s never stopped since. I haven’t needed a midday nap in four years except for when I had “Covid”.
I was able to go off almost all the meds I had relied upon in under a 6 month period. I lost 65 lbs after 18 months. I’m starting year 5 now and never looked back.
I have this unexplained itch on my arms that they’ve never been able to identify a root cause of for over 35 years, so at times I DO take hydroxyzine or another histamine blocker for my sanity to get some relief. And on occasion for acne break thru I might have to do a course of doxycycline, but when I’m eating closer to a carnivore diet I have less need. But that’s it. I don’t even use Advil or Tylenol anymore.
I’m certain the primary factor was changing my diet. Walking would be the second. Great opportunity to listen to a good podcast!
Juju you may want to consult with a homeopath about that itch. Homeopathy deals with symptoms and there is probably a remedy that can help with that. It may be a leftover side effect of previous meds and there are ways to detox.
Also I found this product a while back, it’s amazing at calming irritated skin (unless you are allergic to shellfish I’m guessing, because of the active ingredients):
It does take strength, but … ONLY in the beginning. (And I guess again if you ever fall off, it takes a couple months to climb back on.) But that’s it. Long term will power is magically given to you by the diet itself between month three and four, so you really only need to be strong for the first few months. That’s it! The diet changes something in your body and in your brain. You start to see food as fuel only. Your tastebuds return to appropriate human diet standards.
When I try to encourage others, I try to describe what happened inside of me. I was sick of being sick. I was sick of the experts making me sicker, and I had nothing to lose. I cleared my entire household of anything that might tempt me to not stick to the new way of eating. If the junk wasn’t there it couldn’t be an option and couldn’t sabotage my efforts. I’d have to learn to use the approved foods.
I also dug deep down for the anger, anger that so many people don’t care how badly they hurt another life so long as they get wealthy. They don’t care if your quality of life is destroyed by their product. Out of sight out of mind. Never again would I ever let another human being decide what goes into my body or my mouth. They couldn’t tie me down and force feed me so I actually had all the power.
And … if I told you that the ice cream pint you’re about to eat, that filet of fish, that box of Cheetos had rat poisoning in it, it wouldn’t matter how delicious it tasted you wouldn’t ever let it past your lips. That’s because you KNOW rat poison is bad and you would KNOW it was in the food. Well, what IS in our food supply IS poison to our bodies and to our cellular structure and metabolism. It is worse than rat poison. It really is. Once I realized that, will power/strength was easy. Still today my mouth stays shut tight around most foods others ravenously devour and moan in pleasure over. I no longer crave. And I make some delicious things of my own now that I enjoy.
Oh, and I can taste a grain of sugar in ANYTHING now. 😂 I had a single bite of my son’s Olive Garden leftovers of chicken fettuccine, and oh my goodness it tasted SO SWEET!!! Yuck! They put sugar in everything!!! It didn’t taste as good as my memory. My homemade Alfredo sauce is to die for and my son loves it, so he noticed too.
But I'm sure something was very hard for you to stop consuming too.
If we would allow ourselves to _realize_ what's in our *food,* we'd really try harder. But not fully realizing, is part of the 'Mind Haze' they have put us under. -sigh-
I'm aware and trying. Getting stuff out of the house is the way to go.
Thank you for doing what you are doing, and letting others realize that it _can_ be done.
If you have a garden you may consider growing calendula. It’s an annual plant but has such pretty flowers that have medicinal properties for skin. It has anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antioxidant, and wound-healing properties. I make an herbal oil and salve and it’s a good healing herb.
So I read about that a few months ago and bought a spray-on of it. Kind of expensive but I was desperate. I used it each day on my arms for a couple weeks, (and face too because I have a really weird condition where if my skin has even the slightest abrasion it refuses to heal, even after weeks.) It really didn’t do anything for either. 🫤
I’m 63 no meds. If you suggest a med I will find a better way. Unfortunately because the system IS RIGGED my better way will cost me more thus by design I am running out of options to pursue my better way. It’s wrong every which way. It’s completely out of hands of consumer unless you are independently wealthy
I don’t by the numbers based framework that makes the better way seem necessary. Good food, exercise, fresh air and sunshine and skip the frequent checking of numbers.
That was marketed years ago as "preventative" care; turned out to be a way to distribute more pills. All the blood tests and numbers were part of the scheme. And insurance would "pay" for it!
Like it was free, and they and their employers weren’t paying through the nose for it! And with Obamacare, insurance companies are subsidized, which drives up prices further, as subsidies always do.
Insurance is supposed to protect one from large, relativity rare events. The current system is just a costly subscription service.
Last time I went to a physician was January 2020. I will never go again unless they transport me against my will unconscious.
Dumped our health insurance a little over four years ago when we realized that we had been paying in several hundred dollars per month for years on end *and never once reached our annual deductible.* Health insurance is the biggest scam of the modern world.
Completely free of all prescriptions I’d rather die than go back on one.
If you saw my post yesterday about my wife being “disagreeable” because she refused Specialists’s referrals at her recent doctor’s appointment, they absolutely don’t want to ever treat me.
PS: wife just told me her PCP put two blatantly false statements in her med record from that visit: (1) that she refused a mammogram even though she has a family history of breast cancer (she told her the opposite - *NO* history.
I would agree, but, there are circumstances! I was already older than those of you quoting ages when, spontaneously, I started suffering absence seizures (aka Petit Mal seizures). I'm told you normally 'grow out of' these by the age of 16. I just 'freeze' and am totally oblivious to their occurrence, unless told by someone (including my Neurologist on one visit!)
So, I'm on two different meds now, for life. Have never heard any suggestion of an alternative treatment. So.
Sometimes there are emergencies that require the system- but we should have a choice about insurance or medicare or private- and not be forced to pay into a corrupt system. I fell a year ago off 3” step- multiple injuries including dislocated shoulder and broke proximal humerus ORIF surgery screw/plate. 5 months postop all my providers are private pay because they actually help me- because system is such a scam I am essentially paying double this new year- for insurance don’t use and for the care that is helping. If we weren’t charged grossly inflated prices and negotiated cash pay discounts like other businesses that would be preferable to insurance scam/illness industry. People think one catastrophe means they need the insurance but if you had ALL THE PREMIUMS AND DEDUCTIBLES YOU ALREADY PAID FOR NOTHING -you could pay for care yourself!!
And ER and hospital stay was nightmare!! Sucked to have to engage. Don’t get me started on home health aides that I needed for 10 nights and had to pay for OOP (“you should have bought a chair because this one us too uncomfortable for me to sleep in” [while supposed to be helping/watching ME] and another one- although part of agency job description wouldn’t vacuum around my bed to pick up crumbs unless I had “a bonnet to cover my hair [weave] because dust will get in my hair” - 2nd one I dismissed but refused to leave unless I called the agency while she was standing there so I told her don’t make me call police because you refuse to leave my home!! 🤦♀️ I was a nurse. It’s insanity.
Very small sample size, but I've never encountered anyone 60+ yrs old that was healthy that had not shunned the pill dispensary system. The dozen or so people I've known that reached 90+ all CONSCIOUSLY avoided the entire system and stayed active until the end. Including my 100 y.o. grandma.
Just ask hospice nurses how often patients referred for end of life care and thus switching to comfort only meds like pain meds improve after all the other crap they are taking are stopped….no more heart meds, and cholesterol meds, and psych meds, and, and, and. Take them from 20 pills a day to two for pain and they get better.
I noted on another Substack, that Karen Bandy and The Imaginary Hobgoblin were making derogatory comments about Janice and her posts along with general insults for some of the rest on C&C. Very disheartening indeed. I pray she did not read those comments and that is why we are not seeing her post.
That’s really gross to go to another Substack and smear another one and its readers. How low can they go? They get blocked here and run crying to another?
I did read her yesterday but I didn’t spend much time in the comments. I had to start blocking some accounts both on hers as well as Simulation Commander’s. I disagree with both those authors on occasion but I really love and respect both of them, and we agree on more than we disagree on. They are both always amiable and open to differing opinions in a respectful way. But the narrative trolls that are here are now descending on their Substacks too, because they can’t let any space be disease free. They really are a virus. I don’t see us invading all their spaces to push our views and expose them to what they might not be hearing. As far as I’m concerned that’s a personal responsibility. It’s not my job to make sure they all hear alternative views. It’s their job to seek that out on their own.
But that’s not how these clowns operate. They believe they are on some Holy quest to inform us all, thinking we don’t go anywhere else and only live here, because how can we think the way that we do otherwise? That’s really their logic. 🤣
See it here locally too. Just had our local elections (in MO they are always first Tue in April) and as usual, FB was a cesspool. Every conservative lost, and our so called purple city is now D controlled. Mostly due to low turnout by independents and conservatives coupled with massive get out the vote efforts by teacher, fire and police unions who all endorsed the D's, even though technically, local races are 'non-partisan'. But the left invades every FB group and candidate page, even the private groups (with fake profiles) and then harasses every commenter. Kick them out, and they still have spies who screenshot everything and give them to share everywhere. Some post 30-40 comments a day, guess they don't have jobs or a life. Oh there are a few who punch back, but it's a massive waste of time. Every comment on a hateful post just bumps it up and makes it more visible. Sad thing is, not every candidate has the required thick skin, and most wither and disappear or if they win, they are one and done, as the harassment is just not worth it. One conservative school board member had to put her kids in private school, due to harassment. Even businesses that display conservative candidate banners get threatened or even vandalized. It's ugly. All of this talk of D's being on the ropes is completely off base in our little corner.
So I JUST read an article from Torrence Stephens. He links to them here in comments sometimes. I thought it was a good article. I went to the comment section and The Imaginary Hobgobilin was there posting just awful, nasty things about this community, under replies it had nothing to do with. He was trying to fit it in anywhere he could. I was shocked by the lies and complete misrepresentation as if it were fact. Really it was just his “feelings.” Karen Bandy was there too going back and forth with him. Not as bad and at least she gave Jeff credit for having good insights, still - it was sad to see that kind of gossip behind the backs of everyone here.
So that’s TWO substacks where they are defaming this author and this crowd.
I was disappointed to see how Torrence responded. It wasn’t fair either. He said he simply comes in, plops down his link and gets the heck out of here. Why? Why if you hate us so much are you marketing to us???? His views appear to be in sync with Jeff. I unposted my repost of his stack. I can’t support someone that is that unfair and encourages such nasty gossip.
Agreed! Thanks Y'all for pointing out known trouble makers in the posts! (when I see these names mentioned - I will block them!)
I saw this happening on C&C several weeks ago, but it's good to know what to do about (and now how to do it! (Whoever posted the "How-to" to block someone - thank you! I'm a bit on the low side of the Tecno IQ! 😁)
Juju, my error, it was on Torrance's stack, not Jennas. I read so many and got it confused. Yes, I was very saddened to see this conversation take place. I enjoy Torrance and his stack too and perhaps he was just trying to stay on the fringe of that conversation and wanted to be more neutral than the other 2. These things will happen and we will just carry on and enjoy Janice and the posts by all the other wonderful people here. Have a peaceful wkend Juju!
Black coffee... CoVid free please. Politically conversing with my friend over a cold draft beer yesterday as the Masters finished and space capsule was in re-entry and splashdown mode. An eavesdropping Jersey girl (Late 50s) was pleasant enough initially, but lost her mind when i mentioned Bobby K. Jr. Then it was all "crazy" "anti-vaccine", "not even a scientist", "I don't believe you", "Are you emblematic of the people in this community?" then an abrupt finish with "I came here to watch the Masters not get into a political debate". A horrible and Nasty Alpha-woman with no man at her side who went into attack mode (at Happy Hour) then auto shut-down. A typical Coloradan who's from elsewhere and has done their part in elevating DemoCult control in CO.
The contortions on people’s faces that appear when they realize you are pro Trump administration is unbelievable. Part of the woke mined virus, they have completely lost their marbles.
I mean when I learn someone is pro-lib, anti-Trump, I don’t get all hateful with them. I might have a look or two of pity on my face for them, but I still am kind and treat them with respect.
Initially she wasn't in TDS mode, but the Kennedy thing triggered her progressive parasitic brain worm apparently. The CoVid vaxxines are still a point of highly emotional contention. At least Trump's moved on from his "saving millions of lives with miracle vaxxines" nonsense, his ego still firmly believes that, but he understands that doesn't sell to anyone. The trusting and fearful were easily Duped during CoVid. The rest of us were powerless to intervene. No reason to be nasty and hateful with each other as we're all commoners in the eyes of the Power Players running things.
i strongly mentioned just how political the Democrats made the issue right out of the first test-dose and then how they did a 180 on it with full media support. This Jersey girl never contracted CoVid--so either she has the top-level blood type that resists such a bio-weapon-pathogen, or was so mildly touched she didn't notice. Yet credit extended to the vaxxines was implied.
Big Pharma was somehow miraculously and coincidentally BLESSED by the 3 month delay of vaxxine rollout to the public that was so very well timed with the Biden-Harris 3am Ballot Dump into 7 or so key precincts under the watchful eyes of Democrat County Clerks. Had the Election Rigging push failed, 90+% of Americans simply would NOT have taken a Vaccine. Trump's Pharma-salesmanship would NOT have worked in 2021-23 any more than it worked for his campaign in 2024. The Media would have had to attack the vaxxines and blame Trump for fear, deaths, vaxx-injuries, and all things CoVid. Pharma would have not made windfall deals globally, and the depopulaters would have been stymied. So just how in-on Biden's 2020 DeepState Cheat were the DeepState owned and operated vaxx makers?
Yeah, a good friend, and the Only Liberal friend I still have (because he actually walks the walk) asked to change the subject because he hates what RFK Jr. has done to the "Gold Standard" CDC.
I have a golfing buddy who has TDS. His wife has TDS from the "Pussygate". Anyway I told him "Can't we all just get along?". He's an old democrat from the JFK era. Can't we normies just meet in the middle and cut the acrimony??
Jake—I have a lib friend who refers to conservatives as ‘magats’ which I thought beneath her. Evidently, I was mistaken. It has become her favorite way to refer to people who disagree with her.
I quipped "Maybe one crazy guy in charge every 40 years or so might help offset the entrenched Agencies FULL of crazy people working on behalf of Big Pharma". All she said was "He hasn't fixed anything, he's just there for his ego and is a wrecking ball". I don't know specifics, i just know what the powerful status quo pulled on us all with LIES and OSHA mandated jabs and VAERS... at a minimum, untrustworthy hateful scum deserve a wrecking ball.
I have known him 55 years. I was the best man at his first wedding, to a black woman. They adopted 2 black babies from drug addict mothers. Both have been problem children, one a lot. He is an anthropologist who has been to Africa dozens of times for research, but also helping people. He is in more of our daughter's baby and infant photos than anyone but family. He has been very supportive since I told him if our daughters' suicide. I respect him as much or more than any conservative friends I have.
TDS is one thing but the Covid jab issue is ballistic. They will never back down on that one because the idea that they’ve been poisoning themselves with shot after toxic shot is completely unacceptable. They absolutely have to be right and will lay on the hostility and accusations to prove that they are because commonsense conversation and statement of fact will suggest otherwise.
ah, WP, sounds like you had an encounter with the Western Colorado Blue-winged Harpy. They used to be much less populous, but due to spreading delusion and refusal to embrace reality, along with migration from expensive California, their population seems to be growing in other areas, along with their general unhappiness.
The quick deployment of gaseous emanations may help slow their vocal attacks before they become physical.
Fight fire with fire - if they sling BS then they deserve farts aimed at them.
Perhaps you should have informed this nutjob, that she was likely committing the crime of assault.
"Assault is a legal term—both a crime and a tort—defined as an intentional act that causes another person to experience reasonable apprehension of imminent harmful or offensive contact."
"...Stay optimistic. It could be the dawn of a golden era of health, and it’s starting right here, in the country scraping the bottom of the health statistics barrel."
I don't know how he does it. Jeff has a perplexing way of turning bad news into good news with no one noticing. It's a conundrum. I know there is a word for it... I just can't think of it.
Good morning from gently-raining Lakewood, WA....right next to JBLM, Fort Lewis & McChord AFB....May our troops stay strong & vigilant, and may we citizens strive to do the same! 🫡🫡🫡🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
A Saturday Note of Hope which seems to be the daily theme here at C&C, Thank You Jeff!
Hebrews 6:19 (NIV) states: "We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure."
As we know an anchor is something that holds a boat in place. Once the captain gets to his destination he puts the anchor down, this way he won’t drift and end up in places he doesn’t want to be. When the boat is anchored it may move a little bit, with the waves, the winds, a storm may come, but the captain is not worried he can relax, he knows the anchor is down.
So what’s going to keep our soul in the right place? What’s going to help you to move beyond your problems? To reach your goals? It’s when you anchor your soul to hope. That means no matter what you face, no matter how big the difficulty, no matter how long it’s taking, you know God is on the throne. You know His plans for you are for the good, that He’s bigger than any challenge you face. When your anchored to this hope nothing moves you, the winds, the waves, the storms that may come, your not worried the anchor is down.
No matter what you go through, a lose, a bad medical report, a job that falls through, many would throw in the towel. When your emotions are being pulled towards discouragement or bitterness but something is holding you back, you can’t explain it. Deep down inside you hear a voice saying everything is going to be alright, God has beauty for these ashes, that’s the anchor of hope. When you’re anchored to hope God will make things happen that you could never make happen.
There will always be something trying to convince us to pull up your anchor. Delays, disappointments, bad breaks. In the tough times when life doesn’t seem fair, when your prayers haven’t yet been answered, when resolve is taking longer than you thought, you have to make sure you keep your anchor down. If you pull it up you will drift into bitterness, discouragement self pity. When you’re anchored to hope it’s like you’re tied to it. You can’t drift. You may have some negative thoughts, thoughts of doubt, you may think this is never going to work out, but that’s when your faith will kick in. No, I know the answer is on the way. Every time those negative thoughts come, trying to pull you away, your anchor keeps you stable. As for me and my house we will serve the lord.
The question at this point in history is do you have your anchor down. Have you kept this hope? Do you have this expectancy that you will accomplish your dreams, that your family will be restored or that our country will get back on track? The enemy would like nothing more than for you to pull up your anchor and drift into hopelessness, not expecting anything good. The scripture says faith is the substance of things hoped for. You can’t have faith if you don’t first have hope.
One time David had a lot coming against him. He was down and discouraged. He felt overwhelmed by life. He’d given up on his dreams and things got worse and worse. He finally said to himself “why are you cast down oh my soul, hope in the Lord”. He recognized he let his circumstances convince him to pull up his anchor. He said in effect I’m going to put my anchor back down, I’m going to hope in the Lord.
You may not have any reason to be hopeful, but we need to do like David and hope in the Lord. Don’t put your hope in your circumstances, they may not turn out the way you thought. Don’t put your hope in people, they may let you down. Don’t put your hope in your career, things may change. Put your hope in the Lord, in the God who put worlds into existence. When you have your hope in him the scripture says in the end you will never be disappointed.
These days filled with turbulence and a political party that is AGAIN plotting to divide this country and burn it to the ground, we must stay anchored to hope and know they will again fail. I know that many of us, especially myself from time to time, need to be reminded we are all blessed to live here in America.
Happy Saturday! Have a blessed weekend.
Proverbs 3:5-6”Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.”
And if that all fails, see your local big pharma trained Dr......get pilled up, and stay current on all your jabs... because your 60" television told you to. That pretty much explains at least 80 to 90% of church goers.
don't know wha planet YOU occupy, but that describes >10% o "churchgoers" I know. We're working on the rest......
Did you mean to indicate "less than" with your > symbol? That one means "greater than", which might express your opinion. Personally, I think the < symbol is more accurate. But I'm an optimist.
It's sadly true that many who go to church, do not actually understand or accept the faith that the Church exists to teach - and that some so-called "churches" have no real connection to the gospel at all. But try to see it as an opportunity rather than a problem - these people at least are on-board with the idea of "church", they just need to be taught what the Gospel really is! (Not that all of them will accept it, but they will at least know what it is they are rejecting, and perhaps stop pretending to believe in a faith they don't hold.)
Thank you once again JG for solid, Scripture-based wisdom. Since being born again, I have always retained this anchor of faith and hope through some of the worst trials anyone could experience. And yet I know we are all grappling with something straining at our anchor chain. God seems to remind me again and again that “nothing stays the same for very long.” That includes the good times and the bad. But to ride out the waves and storms with unwavering confidence in the One who loves us is the best thing we can do. (See Isaiah 40: 28-31) And anytime I need a dose of affirming hope, David’s Psalms are a great place to start.
Yes, Jesus is our anchor and scripture is our truth! Remember that always when the days are confusing and spreading lies about our faith. The 5 Solas: Sola Scriptura (Scripture alone), Sola Fide (faith alone), Sola Gratia (grace alone), Solus Christus (Christ alone), and Soli Deo Gloria (glory to God alone). From the Protestant Reformation, but good for all of us.
Indeed, well stated! 🙏
Thank you, James, for a wonderfully uplifting comment! It illustrates how our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ is the tent under which we all huddle and take cover from the slings & arrows of our adversaries (the Dhimmicrats & other such scoundrels)...Huzzah, indeed!
And may I ask Mr Childers for clarification on "kick dancing"? Is that the Drag Queen version of the "Can-Can"? It would go along with Fang Fang, would it not? Or, Swalwell is getting Canned-Canned...🤷🏼🤷🏼🤷🏼
Have a blessed weekend...🙏🏼😇👑💖
Thank You Susan!!
Shabbat Shalom!!!
Happy Sabbath!
Your column is very encouraging, intentionally so. Thank you. I needed this.
Feelings can change on a dime, but His Faithfulness never changes.
Now:
(Housekeeping because of spellcheck. “you know God is on the Throne.”)
Shabbat Shalom to you, CStone! A very Happy Sabbath to you also.
Thanks CStone, I went through the comments earlier and started driving. I finally stopped and caught “thrown”. Not sure how I missed that??? Thanks CStone I finally fixed it!!
AMEN & AMEN!
What a sweet relief that we can ALWAYS rest in the arms of our sweet Savior, knowing that He ALWAYS has our best interest at heart. Thank you, Jesus! And thank you, Mr. Goodrich for your pearls of wisdom!
Good morning C&C.
We often ask God to change the situation we are in.
Consider that God has put us there to change us.
Tomorrow is Divine Mercy Sunday.
Eternal God, in whom mercy is endless, and the treasury of compassion inexhaustible, look kindly upon us, and increase your mercy in us, that in difficult moments, we might not despair, nor become despondent, but with great confidence, submit ourselves to Your holy will, which is Love and Mercy itself. Amen.
Jesus I trust in You! Take care of everything.
I liked James' analogy of keeping our anchor during stormy times...
As I found out recently, back in late September of 1975, my wife wrote the following in one of her journals:
" I love only God – in Him are all good things – these I love, but through Him.
Where are your songs of joy, of gladness, children of God – where are your glad hearts?
The Lord is like the cool breeze which makes all creatures glad on a hot summer's day. He sings a song of joy to us, He whispers in our ears: Come my children, let us dance, to the halls of the King we shall go. Tall trees make its walls, a cool river is its floor – yes, this is the palace of the Lord. We shall dance on the silver waters and the voice of God will sing: My loves, look up and see the sun, your brother, He comes to join your joy – And the rays of the sun dance on the river of life – the tall green trees sway in the whispering breeze – and the children of God are glad.
The Lord Jesus told of an approaching storm in which the tree would stand firm despite the swirling waters and the heavy, dark winds. "Its fruits will cling to it and the storm shall be of no avail against it." Even now rays of sunlight occasionally pierce the gray clouds that hover over me.
He says for me not to fear, that the Lord God, Jesus Christ is with me. He said I shall hear the silver bell of truth pealing, always, tolling the death knoll for some, and the resurrection for others.
But must I tell you that all I wish for is to live in Jesus Christ in peace?"
Divine Mercy, indeed! 🥰 ⛪️ 🙏
Beautiful 💕🙏🏼
Thanks James! I needed to hear that again even though I'm anchored I get afraid of the wind and waves. Thank God that He sustains us even when we are afeared. He will not allow us to sink being His reach. Sing then over again to me The wonderful Words of Life. Let me more of His beauty see The wonderful Word of Life. Word of Life and beauty teach me faith and duty. Beautiful Words wonderful Words wonderful Words of Life.
Ain't got time to preach. Just gonna leave this here.

I LOVE this anchor/hope metaphor!!! Thank you! Happy Saturday to YOU!
Amen to all that!!! Great post James, thank you!!
and. . . I will second that one, RL.
again, this week, I may not be showing up tomorrow. . . been there!
Thank you Father Goodrich.
Thank You Red!!😊
Thank You RL
go up one. . .
Ha!
Bravo James!
I love this!❤️. Let go, Let God! I struggled for many many years to get the home I wanted and had worked so hard for. It faced one horrible situation after another. Finally… finally… I gave it up. I let go. I literally gave it away. And God put me in a much more beautiful house I bought sight unseen, on top of a beautiful hill, in the middle of a wonderful community of people where peace and love abounds. Our happiness and salvation is linked only to Him and his son, Jesus Christ! All the rest is just distraction.
Thank You Barbara Lee, I hope you are doing well!
Just reading this today, Sunday, when I really needed it. I've held tightly to God's promises for nearly a year, with God's peace that surpasses understanding. But the last two weeks have been an immense struggle for me - I started feeling quite hopeless - indeed, the enemy was calling me to pull up my anchor. God's had me focusing on Deut 28:1-14, studying one verse for a few days each. Today that study led me to Gen 49:25... More promises of blessing.
Your post was just the perspective I needed to remind myself of the anchor. Thank you!
Thanks LDR, I glad and hoped it helped!
Lovely and well spoken. Thanks. We hold on to our hope.

And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in real knowledge and all discernment, so that you may approve the things that are excellent, in order to be sincere and blameless until the day of Christ; having been filled with the fruit of righteousness which comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

Thank you, Janice, for feeding us our daily bread. I really appreciate reading your posts every morning.
Thank you for telling me that.
There you are! We were a little worried.
I’ve been setting up my booth for a book fair on this beautiful sunny Oklahoma day!
That is great news, Janice! Thank you all the scripture yuh share and God bless your time at the book fair!!
Thank you! It was a fun day, but I am now officially exhausted. 🥱
Your book blesses me every morning
I am so glad. God is good!
Love your book! I ordered one for myself and 2 for best buds. So accessible and uplifting.🙏🏻💚
Thank you for that kind encouragement! To God be the glory!
Janice, can I joyfully conclude that your recovery from your proceedure is going reasonably well? (Praying to that end.)
John, thank you for asking. I am doing ok.
Yay!
Thank you James! I really need this today. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
"more in real knowledge and all discernment".
Paul is special. No internet media propaganda then..
Did anybody else see the video where a reporter went out into a crowd of liberals and asked, "Since Trump in trying to protect the Strait of Hormuz, do you think he should also protect the gays of Hormuz?" and some of them hilariously came unglued over Trump's policy then ranted about the inequity in only protecting the straight of Hormuz.
Saw it. Hilarious and terrifying at the same time. People who are that ignorant and self-righteous get to vote.

JUST watched this, and after picking up my dropped jaw, cleaning up the spewed coffee from everywhere, calming the upside down cat who sprung to the ceiling when I did so, and wiping the flow of laughter tears from my face, I realized, "these retards actually VOTE and are the incoming generation of congress, teachers, law officers, and the general personnel running of a country!"
The bigger WTF is knowing that each and every one of them actually have a mini supercomputer in their hands at all times, LOADED with all kinds of info, but never actually use it for anything other than TDS posits!
Thanxs for sharing this.
Coffee, coffee spatter, and 😮 all in one decision.
😂😂🤣
*Tips hat
Much Love
Public school has destroyed curiosity.
True. My daughter teaches 6th grade science, and she prepared a big bunch of interesting information about the moon launch and her kids not only didn't seem to know it had happened, they didn't care and most weren't especially interested. I remember the moon launch in 1969 and how excited everyone was and it was all over the news, and everyone, kids and adults alike, were watching it with great excitement.
We were a more cohesive society back in 1969. There were only 3 major networks.
The majority of morning coffee pot conversations began with “Did you see Carson last night?”
The Artemis space flight was all over the news, but there are hundreds, if not thousands of other items to watch via streaming that garner people’s attention. And don’t forget video games and the ubiquitous social media. Our society is terribly fragmented, much to my and others’ disappointment. Americans seem to be losing their common identity.
I frequently discuss this situation with my friends.
BTW, I’m 69 and was exited about the moon launch along with the rest of America.
And that is deliberate. Look at what public education has done to, say, the people who voted in New York's mayoral election.
Much has I'm afraid.
DD, thanks for descrbing your reaction, which was appropriate. LOL! Almost did that myself, but no cat.😉
Glad you enjoyed it Friend.😊
Interesting (and saddening) that when people have a greater access to information than ever before, they are less informed than people were before the internet.
But fortunately for America's future, most of those folks do not breed.
oooh good point. Whew.
Agree. Their life fulfilling mission will be either to glom off someone with a well paying job or work in an office where their memos will be deleted at the next layoff and they will be forgotten.
What cracks me up is how the interviewer (just barely) manages to keep a straight face while the misanthrope keeps digging her own hole.
…and the end, we can turn it into ‘Fire Island’ 🤣
To quote Sheriff Jim from Blazing Saddles— “These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know... morons.”
HA, now THAT is . . . perfect!
(. . . "perfect". . . apparently the most common reply from waitresses these days every time I tell them which item I would like to order.
And when you thank them for good service, they reply, "Of course".
🤣🤦♀️🤣🤦♀️‼️
And some law schools will give then law degrees.
That is hilarious!!!!!!
Shows just how stupid they really are.
I am speechless. Who in today’s world would not know that the Straits of Hormuz is a geographical reference??! Floored. Just. FLOORED!
you've not sat in on a public school classroom lately, have you? Most "occupants" in those classrooms can't even tell you the name o the capitol city in their own state. Many o their progenitors don't even know whether they are male or phemale Used to be a regular at the local contra dances, but since hey don't even remember their own gender and now call the dances by larks and robins, (I don't even know which means which....) I quit going. I decline to associate with people who are that iggerunt......
Back in the 1920’s, the New York City public school system was awash with immigrant children from Ireland, Sicily and the Balkans (that is the new kingdom of Yugoslavia). The classrooms were reportedly chaos from the detritus of these immigrants who sought a better life.
These children somehow managed to defeat fascism during WW2. I expect no less from the present generation of ignoramuses. When they file their first federal income tax return, they will know that all they learned in high school was crap, to quote Paul Simon in his song Kodachrome.
It would be so funny, except for it showing how ignorant so many Americans are. That was done on purpose by the teachers union
M. Patrick, the video is hllarious, more so than just hearing the words. Thanks for posting
That can only be beat by Jesse Watter's boy Friday(oh, I mean boy JOHNNY!)
He can make the kids(20 somethings) sing like larks. . . some make this lib look like a savant.
Specially, the ones he picks in downtown NYC.
HEEEERRRRRE'S Johnny!
I daily prayers starts with gratitude and then for the Lord to
bless me with wisdom protection and peace. Maybe this gal should be praying for some of that wisdom, just saying.
Yea I heard about that. I literally do not have words…
It was priceless!
Did anyone see, in un-hilarious news, that Trump has again threatened Iran, with a possible attack over the weekend? Bibi is getting his way again.
How’s your indoctrination of 7th graders coming along? I hope they laugh at you as hard as I do.
sorry, can't help it. . . stolen from Fabes55 above:
To quote Sheriff Jim from Blazing Saddles— “These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know... morons.”
Says the guys who are yet again being totally duped by Trump. Stupid is as stupid does. Trump is destroying the country. Literally, and you can't even see it because you have been convinced he's playing 10D chess. He's quite possibly being blackmailed by israel/mossad as I don't know how else to explain him throwing his base under the bus with this idiotic war.
You're washed up here johnny.
Everyone knows you are a hater and a divider.
Leave Jeff's site and go to Common Dreams.
They'll love your hate there.
Are you proud of the trump family grift? The bidens must be jealous. Maybe Jeff Childers is getting payments from salem media? It would help to explain the mindless propaganda around his wartime writings:
https://x.com/furkangozukara/status/2042930392265560493
Why don't you try adding something to the conversation rather than slinging insults at people you don't agree with - because you can't defend or refute my statements. You are the washed up one.
https://x.com/furkangozukara/status/2042930392265560493?s=46&t=0CgyWB-cPsN2o2AlY94YiA
Oh wow, didn't know this. Not surprised, sadly. More grift......
I have to laugh every time President Trump says, "Praise be to Allah," after telling the world how Iran has screwed up...again....🤣😂🤣😂
It makes so many huff & puff and get all red in the face, doesn't it? Can't they see the sarcasm in that? I think it's hilarious.
Yes! I think DJT is mocking their demonic false religion.
Hahaha, yep, that sounds like Trump, a demon mocker. That's funny!!!
without a doubt!
Sadly I believe that Muhammed was visited by a demon pretending to be an angel. How it spread like wildfire is beyond me.
Violent conquest.
Jesus mocked the hypocrites. Christians should remember that before we get all red-faced and hand-wavy when we mere mortals do the same.
https://relevantmagazine.com/faith/4-times-jesus-used-sarcasm-to-make-a-point/
Love that. I always see Jesus’ frankness as offensive to the Christians of today. I read every word he ever spoke multiple times by the time I was 12. Maybe that’s why I developed into such a frank personality?
“Grace doesn’t mean avoiding conflict. Respect doesn’t mean staying quiet in the face of hypocrisy. Sometimes love looks like healing someone, and sometimes it looks like asking a question so piercing it forces the other person to see the truth.” I’ll admit I need to get better at identifying the questions that pierce rather than laying down the truth like I do. Lol
yep, we ALL do!
For sure!! Well said!
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but in the jihadism movement involving Muslims, they are destine to glory and praise to Allah when they die as martyrs. Trump is definitely being sarcastic when he says this.
Yes, true, but imho, saying this was also obnoxious and provoking. Personally, I have always disliked this side of his personality. Just being objective. I like other aspects though. We are all complex creatures, some more than others.
I think that’s what we quietly like about him. He says out loud the things we think silently. Sometimes he goes too far, agreed, but for too long we were the “nice guys” and that’s why we are in the mess we are in. IMO
I agree Angela but I have grown to accept Trumpie and his wild-ass remarks as:
"hey, that is just Trump being Trump" . . . I refused to vote for him in 2016-- but always since-- because of his insults to the other 15 Repubs in the primaries.
Voted in protest for Cruz, or was it Little Marco?!
Compared to the 2021 withdrawal from Afghanistan?
As much as I personally find it entertaining and satisfying, trolling all Muslims like that (including the ones who are currently allied with us for the purposes of Iran war) is probably not a great look for the POTUS.
I dont think he cares. No matter what he does, it isnt a good look for his haters. So now, he just has fun with it.
Yeah I don’t think it matters either, he could say anything and whatever he said would be criticized. So he just says what he wants.
in a nutshell, I think you hit it.
Muslims believe the only way they can be certain they will go to heaven is to die as a martyr.
It's a recent "innovation" among some Muslims that suicide bombers count as martyrs.
At least that's my understanding.
*destined, not “destine”
I first read it as Praise be to Aldi. But then I read it again.
I shop at Aldi. And I love it! So I'm happy to spread the good news of Aldi 😂🤣
🤣 coughing fit with laughter
The good news of Aldi, I’ve been spreading it since 2006 🤣🤣🤣
🤣
Food for thought, eh? 🤣
Oh my gosh, you guys!!! I am laughing so hard at this thread!! 😂😂😂
LOL
Aldi sells halal meat. That's meat slaughtered according to Islamic practices and sacrificed to Allah. Christians should not eat meat sacrificed to the devil.
So then, about eating food sacrificed to idols: We know that “An idol is nothing at all in the world” and that “There is no God but one.” For even if there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as indeed there are many “gods” and many “lords”), yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we live; and there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we live. But not everyone possesses this knowledge. Some people are still so accustomed to idols that when they eat sacrificial food they think of it as having been sacrificed to a god, and since their conscience is weak, it is defiled. But food does not bring us near to God; we are no worse if we do not eat, and no better if we do. ~ 1 Corinthians 8:4-8
If your conscience is weak, don't eat. If it isn't, enjoy the steak (without deliberately offending your brothers and sisters in Christ).
You left out verse 9 -13.
Read the last sentence, love.
🤣🤣🤣
For those interested, Aldi is short of Albrecht Discount, a German store opened in 1946 by brothers Karl and Theo Albrecht.
That’s hilarious. Every time I hear that now I am going to think of your comment. 😂
Some people might think it's a lidl funny.
🤣
Almost as good as Moses' plagues on Egypt using their own gods against them.
Speaking of Moses and the plagues; you might enjoy this piece on the hardening of Iran.
Iran’s Hardened Heart
https://pulseofisrael.com/2026/03/22/iran-biblical/
It really surprises me how short people memories are. Even more “diplomatic” presidents did things and said things to send messages to opposition like Bush Sr’s intentional pejorative pronunciation of Sadam (Hussein). Or Reagan’s breaks in protocol to show America’s leadership like refusing to bow before England’s Queen. (Didn’t Nancy refuse to curtsy as well?).
I didn’t vote for Trump to be my pastor, family counselor, nor emotional support president. We had to have someone tough as nails to START tackling our countries many, many problems. God bless him and protect him as he works. He won’t make every decision I think he should make but I am not sitting in that Oval Office with tons of weighty information to navigate. It has to be so frustrating making strides forward just to have constant set backs and opposition at every turn.
Well said MnmMom!
💯!! Well said!
Yes. He is signaling to Muslims that the Iranian regime has lost the mandate of heaven.
Or perhaps Allah is sleeping? 😂😉
Or taking a potty break?
Or they are about to meet him so “praise!”
Christians in the Middle East also call God ' Allah'.
Only because that's Arabic for God.
Maybe I should call the Muslim God Ba'al. Or would that be dead naming him? 🤔
“Dead naming him” 🤣🤣🤣
Yes, it's the Arabic word for "God".
Does Mr. Trump know that, though?
yup. When I read that line the 1st time I was somewhat disgusted with him. But then, knowing his track record I had to stop and think... and concluded that he is thanking the chimera-god phoey idol they all worship because that pigment in their imagination is directing them to be so insane and irrational....... keep it up, he says.
When they say allah ackbar - in Hebrew they are saying Allah the rodent. Hahaha...
Me too!
I see it as a way to remind everyone that there is ONE Almighty God, and whether a person calls Him Allah or something else, He is the God of EVERYONE. That being the case, it lays bare the ridiculous Muslim view that "others" are the enemy, and that killing all the non-Muslims is NOT glorifying God.
His message to the good guys among them. But wait. Have any of them complained about Iran and its wicked performances? Like condemning its heretical behavior?
R u kidding ! Katie Porter was their darling from the start. She a bigger Bit.. than Hiliary and do not underestimate the dem cheating machines in California. This is terrible news. She will be worse than Spamberger. Women in power are hellacious. Katie “off with their heads “ Porter.
I watched her berate and cuss her staffer. Horrible woman. Seems to be someone who believes they’re always right about everything.
You mean like our president, who has never apologized to anyone? Great personalities. Maybe they should work together.
Another slow day at Langley?
Does anyone here have morals and ethics? People sure like to spout off bible verses and out the other side of their mouth wish death to others around the globe.
I point out that a poster makes a comment (which is completely fair) about Katie Porter's behavior, and I liken it to Trump's behavior - which is also completely fair. I'm not the one who claimed I've never apologized to anyone. That is psychopathy.
No JO. Obviously you are the voice of ethics. LOL.
Keep speaking truth to Fox News watchers, Johnny.
Yes, his last Truth post lambasting some of his top supporters who likely placed a big part is him getting elected, is a great example.
That is sarcasm, nut job.
Oh really? Did he say this? This is the first claim of this type I've ever heard. Do you have evidence, or is it mental gymanstics you need to complete in order to defend such a gross human?
How many times can you “like” yourself on here? At least once I know, but maybe Johnny has learned a new trick.
As I said in a post earlier, there are some aspects of his personality I have always disliked, (bullying, insulting)but others I kind of like (can be very likeable and even leadership at times). We are all complex creatures, some more than others. Trump is definitely quite a complex personality. He comes from a cutthroat real estate background.
How many real New Yorkers have you spent much time with? Trump is classic to that upbringing. I've known some. Much like he is. Get used to it. Stereotyping? Yup.. becaise i works.
LOL Tio..I AM one!!! Born in Manhattan and raised in Brooklyn, and then back to Manhattan. Yes he is very NY. I said, I like him and don't like him..even back in the day. That has nothing to do with my approval of his job as President. You don't need to defend him. I am quite objective in that I can give praise where it is due. Sadly many people cannot. I see it at work and social groups all the time. They don't like someone so they don't praise anything.
So did the background in real estate lead to his psychopathy, or was it his psychopathy that lead him into real estate?
So, Johnny=O, do you beat your wife daily? Or only weekly?
Fuck you you piece of shit. You love your leaders that bomb schools full of girls? You love your leaders that cover for Epstein class? You are the one with questionable motives, not I.
You are losingcredibility with me, lol. He is definitelynot a psychopath.
HE isnt even a sociopath but probably is a narcissist tp some degree and also a bully.
You need to clear your heart from hate so you can be a better judge of character.
People are complex. Many have different sides to their personality.
Objectivity is a good thing but one cannot attain it unless their hearts are right or they discipline themselves to be that way.
Psychopaths are okay with bombing schools full of girls in my opinion.
Have to agree she is horrible but will probably win just like the low IQ retard Deb Haaland in NM. They love their bitches in the Demtoid party.
It seems like good news if they chuck Swalwell and nominate Porter. Like Clinton and Harris, she's not very likeable to the average voter. Even some Democrats can probably detect that she is a horrible human being and think that's a bad thing (many more are sympatico with horrible and think that's a wonderful qualification). There may be just enough sane people and unmotivated Dems for Hilton to slide in to governor.
Or California will just elect the worst possible person like usual. Tough to go wrong with that prediction.
Or they will just keep 'counting' votes until they have enough to win.
Well yeah that's pretty much a given, though at least when it comes to statewide races, Im not sure the dems need "fortification" to get the numbers. There are a healthy majority of suicidal nuts statewide.
Well my conservative sister lives in the San Bernardino area and says it's pretty conservative, but that if an R in a state race is ahead on election night, that they will keep finding ballots until the D wins. She has started getting more involved politically, and is frustrated by election integrity issues.
Some women and some men in power are hellacious.
“…throbbing problem…Viagra is wearing off…Swallow-well…stiffened their resolve…engorged…pictures of Dick Nixon…Politico whipped out the settlement…firmest defender…performance failures [Viagra, anyone?]…”
My pen is envy-ous of your wordplay!
I see what you did there... thanks for your penetrating insight!
LOL
As a recipient of many Dick Nixon photos in my younger years, I just have to ask - why do men think that women would find such photos attractive? 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️. I like a nice voice, broad shoulders, a sense of humor and a good smile, and honestly the only thing I care about “down there” is that you can beat a Vienna sausage. Good grief!
Clean nails and cared-for teeth, they don’t have to be Hollywood but brushed. Dirty raggy nails and yellow gappy teeth, off you go. I know this is harsh but it is what it is.
I’m a forearm gal. Something about a rolled up flannel shirt……
Oh yesssss ....
OMG so true! I say if what you can see is not clean and well kept then what you can’t see if definitely not clean! Hands and teeth 100%
After (very important) personal hygiene, someone just generally kind and easy going floats my boat. Not too concerned about good looks, hair, muscle or anything else superficial, looks fade but personality and integrity remains. Take note and take heart fellas, women are simpler than you think!
Agreed! Kindness and integrity. Work ethic. Yep.
It was always cleanliness and smell for me. If someone looks clean, can even be good looking, but smells like old pastrami, no thanks. Pheromones for the win!
“Like old pastrami” 🤣🤣🤣 but also 😝
It’s hard to get a good grip on a Vienna sausage though.
Merry... LOL... you people are cracking me up. Pleas stop. I can't handle it.🤣😂
I can’t handle IT either!!! 🥴
😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
But not too hard (no pun intended) for ... ahem ... deep throat activities. (Yes, I know from experience, sadly).
🤮
Pervs like him have never gotten over the discovery of their own penis as a five-year-old. And the irony is that they are the probably the ones who eventually "suffer" erectile dysfunction (we can only hope).
TMI- lol
I’m almost scared to say it but this has never happened to me and I couldn’t be more grateful for that!! Man how full of yourself do you have to be to send this kind of picture?? 😝
Honestly I think it was the cell phone camera that led to all this. When I was newly divorced and dating online (Match.com or similar), I ended up with enough of them to fill a coffee table book. I used to think about published it as "The Cock Tails Book". It's just nasty and the pictures are never as flattering as the sender thinks they are. Although a girlfriend did send me one of a guy friend of hers who was a tattoo artist ... that was interesting!
🤣🤣🤣
The coffee table book idea and the title have me ROTFL 🤣🤣🤣
🤣😂🤣
😂😂😂
Exactly.
I’ve wondered that myself!
What hubris to send women pics of your phallus. Swallowwell grosses me out. Gives me a visceral urge to vomit.
And that growth on his face. He probably thinks its 'sexy', but with his coloring it just looks dirty. Back on the farm, my g'ma would have said, "he looks like he's been rootin' on the old sow (momma pig) to get his face that dirty".
Sorry, but when you heard that all your young life, it sticks.
He's been trying to root alright, lol!
For sure
Nobody does penile humor like our esteemed Mr Jeff 😁. I also nearly spit out my coffee at the Dick Nixon reference. What it is with these predators? Perhaps the (hopefully) soon-to-be ex-candidate can link up with the likewise-disgraced Anthony Weiner for a podcast about why sending women pictures of your schwanzstucker is a bad idea.
Now we know where a big chunk of the Congressional hush fund for sex pervs went.
The one that got me was the #MeToo person claiming she was too drunk to consent. Yikes!
Same here! Why are women this stupid? If your boss has already proven himself to be a groping pervert, why on earth would you get drunk with him around? Inexcusable on Swallwell’s part regardless, but women need to be more on guard.
It's insanity derived from years and years of indoctrination on "sexual freedom" and all the lies that go with it. Sad.
I was a freshman in high school when I witnessed drunk girls doing things they'd have never done sober. That was enough for me to swear off alcohol til my 40s.
I had the same exact response. Why would you go anywhere with someone like that!
I was confused about the Dick Nixon commenting considering that it was LBJ who was known for showing off his penis.
Sending pictures of his Lyndon was probably too obscure a reference, but more historically accurate.
Just the name, I’m guessing.
Well, his last name is Johnson, after all!😏
Don’t forget the trouser snake.
Yes, my face hurt from grinning by the time I finished the segment. Karma can be delicious, eh?
😂🤣😂
Negative Nellies are infesting the comments these days. The simplest and surest way to scrub satan's minions out of one's mind is to say GET LOST, YOU DON'T BELONG HERE. So even if they try to stick around and sow anger and chaos, they will not succeed in their mission if they get no feedback.
DO NOT FEED THE TROLLS
I blocked them a few days ago! Much nicer here now!
It is ☺️ I get to see and enjoy so many more of you all now ❤️
Yes!!! I agree!
How does one block them? I know how to mute a thread, but not block an individual.
You click on the commenter’s name, that should take you to their page. Up on the top right, you should see three dots. If you click on that, it should give you several options, one of which is “block.” As far as I am concerned, they can have their own black pilled, complaining, doom and gloom echo chamber here, but I want no part in it.
Thanks for the tip. No more Johnny-O!!!
You’re very welcome! I tried to be nice for too long and tolerated all of these people but last week I decided I’d had enough of the constant negativity and condescending self importance so I blocked all of the posters who added nothing to my perspective or enjoyment of the comment section. It’s so much better now! Like in the old days 🙂
Yes the bad actors show up from time to time. I got into a conversation with one a few years ago on Fox News and they revealed the had Ankylosing Spondylitis which is a very painful back disease and limits mobility. My Uncle had it. So this troll spends his days attacking posters as his entertainment. I felt sorry for him but at the same time wished he could find something more productive to do with his life.
Oh wow that’s sad 😞
💥👍💥❣️
Folks, If you have a desire to live out as many years on Earth as God intended, stop, that's right I said stop going to the doctor and Never go in a hospital.
If you absolutely must go to a doctor, tell him what I told mine immediately after the experimental injections began in late 2020, early 2021, tell the doctor, "Doc, after the failure of your industry to inform the public about the multitude of serious adverse effects from the Covid injections, I am not only injection hesitant, I am also "testing" hesitant."
If you insist on giving your doctor your blood for testing every year, be very prepared for a diagnosis you "weren't" prepared for.
Always keep in mind that most doctors now work for corporations and corporations are in the business of pushing pharmaceuticals, procedures, and lots and lots of "tests."
Be very, very aware of how one diagnosis can change the trajectory of you entire life.
That's it.
Like Scully and Muller famously said, "Trust no one."
Sad, but true! I've been ghosting my regular MD's since I was diagnosed with cancer. I have enough stress without engaging in arguments about how poor their treatment options are. I got this disease from my bad life choices, and I'll fix it or die trying. Conventional treatments virtually guarantee a miserable end of life, financial ruin, and little hope of a cure.
I know somebody who has stage 4 lung cancer, metasticisized (sp?) To his lymph nodes and liver. He is doing his own protocol and now the cancer in his liver and lymph nodes is gone, and his lung cancer reduced by 85%.
If you are interested in knowing his protocol, let me know and I will get you in touch with him.
Sure, I'll take a look at it. I have a protocol in place, but not enough time has gone by to really judge its effectiveness. Several new elements have been added over the past few months, as I've started seeing an integrative practitioner in a neighboring state. It has held off metastasis for a year, and I may have turned a corner on tumor size as well.
"Many have asked what Brad has been doing. He completely changed his lifestyle and nutrition: no sugar, gluten, dairy, seed oils, or processed foods, keeping carbs under 10 grams a day, and practicing intermittent fasting with an 8am–4pm eating window. Alongside immunotherapy, Brad has added high-dose vitamin C IV therapy, hyperbaric oxygen chamber, Hocatt, sauna, RIFE machine, Biomat, red light therapy, AO scans, chiropractor, acupuncture, sauna, and a very intentional supplement and medication protocol, including ivermectin, fenbendazole, methylene blue, and roughly 15 other supplements. This level of commitment is time-consuming, expensive, demanding, and ongoing. Please feel free to reach out if you would like more details to help you or someone you love."
I will go ahead and post his protocol here (so others can read it), but his wife doesnt give specifics. You'll have to contact him about that part.
I would like to know. My cousin has just been diagnosed with cancer in multiple locations.
I sent you a message. :)
FM, I'll add you to my prayer list for healing. <3 I hope you are up on the latest alternative protocols. See Kelly's comment.
Prayers are always welcome, thanks! I've been researching this relentlessly for almost 2 years, but I never think I know it all. I have some great sources on-line as well as a new MD who knows a lot about all this, so I feel pretty well armed.
You got that right. Today's medicine is an industrial, for-profit model based on medicines that are mostly derived from petroleum products... wait for it... pioneered by the Rockefeller family post American Civil War. Check out a book called "Rockefeller Medicine Men" for the full story. I have been finding that AYURVEDA, the ancient medical system of India/Nepal/Tibet works way better than anything the A.M.A. and big pharma can come up with.
Homeopathy is also another natural healing method that oddly enough Rockefeller used for his personal health. It’s been around for over 200 years.
yep, and avoid the cholesterol test(s) like the plague.
I didn't trust them BEFORE they assisted with the bioweapons attack. Now, they're lucky if I don't slap them in the face as my form of "Hello."
Absolutely stay away from our medical establishment unless you’re involuntarily taken by ambulance. My Asian friend always says it takes 100 days for the body to heal itself. No doctor is going to change those facts barring medical emergencies.
Correction: Like Scully and Mulder famously said, "Trust no one."
Especially in the corporate medical industry.
I hope everyone has a terrific day.
Really pretty and sunny today by me. Cool but not cold. Clear skies. Sitting on my patio right now watching the puppy attack everything it finds in the grass. 😆
Blue sky, temperate April day in Michigan and not a damned chemtrail to be found for a change.
That sounds heavenly
If heaven is as God tells us, puppies and green grass will be there for me ❤️
One of my favorite depictions of Heaven is at the end of the Chronicles of Narnia. Read it to my children multiple times.
Oh yes!!! I love that too 😍❤️
80's here in NC - was sunny and clear, but a little haze building up (did they spray again? Probably! It seems the powers that be can't stand a sunny clear day!) I'm going hiking before the day gets away!
Woo-hoo! The woods and hills are beautiful this time of year!
Juju, that's on my list of a fun time.😃
That *does* sound heavenly. Congrats!
Same to you, Doc!
You too, Dr Linda!
It’s a beautiful mild day in NE Florida!
We are having bipolar weather in Mid-Missouri. I think the contrail / chem trail companies are angry with us for trying to claim our skies back.
🥴
You too, Dr Linda
The DOJ should have waited until after the primary. It would’ve been great if it were down to Swalwell and one of the Republicans and then Swalwell got kicked out.
Nancy read the tea leaves and jumped into action. If the Dems had backed him like they did before, they would have been screwed. They realized it and they acted quickly.
I want her tea leaves…and her portfolio.
She can keep the tea, I just want the portfolio.
Sounds about right - bet that’s how this all happened …
That’s what I was thinking
Guess what caused the 30 hour fire in the laundry that took the largest US carrier in the fleet out of commission for days? The Green ozone system that replaced the tried and true steam system. And the Brass so proudly touted. Oops. But we were so green for ~1% of all the power the ship consumes.
https://www.theepochtimes.com/opinion/navys-green-laundry-initiative-weakened-a-15-billion-carrier-6008912?
From the article- "But when it comes to ships like our carriers, submarines, and about 10 other large warships and support vessels whose prime movers are steam turbines, the ozone-based systems are a big, expensive step backward in pretty much every area, including the environment. This is the case because our ships’ high-pressure steam turbines naturally produce relatively low-pressure waste steam that can either be recondensed by using cold ocean water or used to heat water for a ship’s laundry and provide heat for the ship’s clothes dryers. In other words, this is nearly free energy. In contrast, the ozone-based laundry is 100 percent reliant on electricity from the ship’s generators. Thus, steam-reliant laundries are much more energy efficient or “green” than ozone-reliant ones. "
Thanks for sharing this rolandttg.
And those of us being surrounded by solar panel complexes, (I refuse to call them farms or parks), we know the same but are powerless to stop them.
Yep, there is one they are trying to put in Baldwin county AL.
Beckadee, be sure to print stories like this one for them- they can preserve river areas instead of taking over farms - https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20200803-the-solar-canals-revolutionising-indias-renewable-energy
Yep. This is the company trying to do it. https://www.siliconranch.com/projects/
And the llc who sold them the 4,500 acres is a big local real estate company- Robert's Brothers. Not sure where you are but this area is right in the Mobile-Tensaw River Delta also referred to as America's Amazon.
Here's a documentary on it. https://youtu.be/8j9coyJeB4Q?
I edited to add a better quality video. Enjoy
Originally from B'ham but spent lots of time down that way over the years. In AZ now.
“the U.S. military lacks robust mine removal capabilities.” Robust! Uh huh...
In plain English, "We don't have shit!"
We never had a reason for it since those aren’t OUR primary waterways. Why would we waste money making minesweepers? That’s the job of those who live in that region.
The UK has 24. I don't know how many work though..
Maybe we do and maybe we don’t. The point is that we are taking our sweet time about it
We have 4 older Avenger class minesweepers...transitioning to another type of minesweeper.
Why do we feel we need to lead the way in clearing the mines? Let the countries that need the Strait spend their resources clearing the mines - and charge Iran for the cost of clearing the mines they've lost track of
Because the longer the strait is closed the greater the worldwide economic damage, the greater the political damage and the more
it helps the Democrats goal of turn the US into a communist hellhole.
LOLOL
Ooops!
Figures.
Why am I not surprised… 😕
“I would love to know what encrypted messaging platform the Democrats use to send out the signal to attack the leading Democrat candidate. Those chat logs would sure be fun to browse.”
Oddly enough, Q told us that they used video game chat logs to communicate in the past. Now, the dems/deep state comms are cut off and being monitored. That’s why you see them scrambling all the time.
They also used the "Draft" in emails with a plethora of "recipients" who can pop on in there to get the message before it ISN'T sent.
Thanks. I was pretty sure the Trump Team is monitoring them. Legally of course.
Hence, the renewal of FISA
QAnonsense. Trust the psyop!
You’ve obviously never read the drops.
Q? Can’t believe people follow this stuff…total psyop.
You’ve obviously never read the drops.
I would love to see data comparing those on 1 or more daily prescription drug vs those on none and life expectancy. Some might attribute it to “those not taking meds are healthy, which is why they don’t need them” but I think that “those who are on fewer or no meds are healthier because they don’t take daily meds”
I’m a walking billboard for the truth of this. 30 years on prescriptions left me in terrible health with oodles of conditions and problems, now starting my fifth year free of all of them and it’s a night a day difference. The only thing I struggle with is the side effects one left me with, osteoporosis. But everything else disappeared. I’ve lived on both sides of the fence and can report that routine prescriptions make you less healthy.
Juju—a friend with severely brittle bones (broke her foot stepping off a curb) stopped her soft drink habit (did her own research) and is defying the odds in rebuilding her bones at almost 70. If her PCP knew this info, he did not share it.
Wow! That's fantastic news!
Just looked it up -
"A regular soft drink habit, particularly cola, is linked to lower bone mineral density (BMD) and higher fracture risk in women, largely due to ingredients like phosphoric acid and caffeine interfering with calcium balance. High sugar content can increase calcium loss through urine, while soda often replaces essential, calcium-rich drinks in a diet"
Well I hated soft drinks my entire life. I was that kid in the 70s that had to have water at birthday parties. I even hated pizza. 🤣🤣 The other mothers thought I was so strange
My osteo was a side effect of PPIs throwing my calcium out of whack so badly it cause three of my parathyroids to become tumorous and shut the fourth one down. I lived like that for 6-8 years and it did its damage on my bones.
I had same issue. I used Moringa capsules. Make them using good powder. Also Arnica oil mixed with a carrier oil. I use Apricot oil Took care of mine. Very occasional flare ups. Good Luck.
For Osteoporosis I mean.
Thank you!!!! Screenshot that. I get such good referrals in this community. ❤️
I am so happy for you! Would you share how you became free, please?
I switched to a low carb diet and completely cut ALL processed food from my life, both restaurant food and store bought. I cleaned out our pantry and all fridges freezer. Threw away one large box of cr**y food and donated one large box of high carb foods that wouldn’t be considered poison. I make most everything homemade now, or try to. 80-90% of my diet is now meat. I get my carbs from high fiber fresh foods.
I started to walk 3 miles a day 5x/week
I experienced the energy of my 20s by the fourth month and it’s never stopped since. I haven’t needed a midday nap in four years except for when I had “Covid”.
I was able to go off almost all the meds I had relied upon in under a 6 month period. I lost 65 lbs after 18 months. I’m starting year 5 now and never looked back.
I have this unexplained itch on my arms that they’ve never been able to identify a root cause of for over 35 years, so at times I DO take hydroxyzine or another histamine blocker for my sanity to get some relief. And on occasion for acne break thru I might have to do a course of doxycycline, but when I’m eating closer to a carnivore diet I have less need. But that’s it. I don’t even use Advil or Tylenol anymore.
I’m certain the primary factor was changing my diet. Walking would be the second. Great opportunity to listen to a good podcast!
Juju you may want to consult with a homeopath about that itch. Homeopathy deals with symptoms and there is probably a remedy that can help with that. It may be a leftover side effect of previous meds and there are ways to detox.
Also I found this product a while back, it’s amazing at calming irritated skin (unless you are allergic to shellfish I’m guessing, because of the active ingredients):
https://www.marinskincare.com
Thank you RL! I just ordered it as well!
Thank you. For itching?
You. Are. Killing. It.
Will probably take up kickboxing for your 100th bday.
🤣 I wish. If it weren’t for my weak bones I would!!!
Check out Dr. Vonda Wright who has lots of information on building up bones.
Thank you........ You were/are very brave. So many _know_ how to take back our health. But not that many are strong enough, to do it.
It does take strength, but … ONLY in the beginning. (And I guess again if you ever fall off, it takes a couple months to climb back on.) But that’s it. Long term will power is magically given to you by the diet itself between month three and four, so you really only need to be strong for the first few months. That’s it! The diet changes something in your body and in your brain. You start to see food as fuel only. Your tastebuds return to appropriate human diet standards.
When I try to encourage others, I try to describe what happened inside of me. I was sick of being sick. I was sick of the experts making me sicker, and I had nothing to lose. I cleared my entire household of anything that might tempt me to not stick to the new way of eating. If the junk wasn’t there it couldn’t be an option and couldn’t sabotage my efforts. I’d have to learn to use the approved foods.
I also dug deep down for the anger, anger that so many people don’t care how badly they hurt another life so long as they get wealthy. They don’t care if your quality of life is destroyed by their product. Out of sight out of mind. Never again would I ever let another human being decide what goes into my body or my mouth. They couldn’t tie me down and force feed me so I actually had all the power.
And … if I told you that the ice cream pint you’re about to eat, that filet of fish, that box of Cheetos had rat poisoning in it, it wouldn’t matter how delicious it tasted you wouldn’t ever let it past your lips. That’s because you KNOW rat poison is bad and you would KNOW it was in the food. Well, what IS in our food supply IS poison to our bodies and to our cellular structure and metabolism. It is worse than rat poison. It really is. Once I realized that, will power/strength was easy. Still today my mouth stays shut tight around most foods others ravenously devour and moan in pleasure over. I no longer crave. And I make some delicious things of my own now that I enjoy.
Oh, and I can taste a grain of sugar in ANYTHING now. 😂 I had a single bite of my son’s Olive Garden leftovers of chicken fettuccine, and oh my goodness it tasted SO SWEET!!! Yuck! They put sugar in everything!!! It didn’t taste as good as my memory. My homemade Alfredo sauce is to die for and my son loves it, so he noticed too.
Sugar... Sweetness... I'm Addicted.... -sigh-
But I'm sure something was very hard for you to stop consuming too.
If we would allow ourselves to _realize_ what's in our *food,* we'd really try harder. But not fully realizing, is part of the 'Mind Haze' they have put us under. -sigh-
I'm aware and trying. Getting stuff out of the house is the way to go.
Thank you for doing what you are doing, and letting others realize that it _can_ be done.
Hugs, Nana
If you have a garden you may consider growing calendula. It’s an annual plant but has such pretty flowers that have medicinal properties for skin. It has anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antioxidant, and wound-healing properties. I make an herbal oil and salve and it’s a good healing herb.
https://chestnutherbs.com/uses-and-benefits-of-calendula/
Thanks for that link!
I just read that chlorine dioxide has taken away itches, eczema, etc. perhaps worth a shot.
So I read about that a few months ago and bought a spray-on of it. Kind of expensive but I was desperate. I used it each day on my arms for a couple weeks, (and face too because I have a really weird condition where if my skin has even the slightest abrasion it refuses to heal, even after weeks.) It really didn’t do anything for either. 🫤
My doc is one of those who will help get their patients OFF medications. You might ask if yours is willing to work with you.
That’s a great idea.
I’m so accustomed to the banality of evil in our PHARMA sales … I mean MEDICAL profession … that I hadn’t considered simply enlisting their help.
I’m 63 no meds. If you suggest a med I will find a better way. Unfortunately because the system IS RIGGED my better way will cost me more thus by design I am running out of options to pursue my better way. It’s wrong every which way. It’s completely out of hands of consumer unless you are independently wealthy
I don’t by the numbers based framework that makes the better way seem necessary. Good food, exercise, fresh air and sunshine and skip the frequent checking of numbers.
Especially: "skip the frequent checking of numbers"
I find it quite amusing that people need a test or doctor to tell them they are sick.
That was marketed years ago as "preventative" care; turned out to be a way to distribute more pills. All the blood tests and numbers were part of the scheme. And insurance would "pay" for it!
And a lot of people love to say "insurance covers it" like they are gaming the system or something silly.
Like it was free, and they and their employers weren’t paying through the nose for it! And with Obamacare, insurance companies are subsidized, which drives up prices further, as subsidies always do.
Insurance is supposed to protect one from large, relativity rare events. The current system is just a costly subscription service.
"Numbers" designed to corral you... and I do mean designed.
Exactly. It IS by design
*buy :-/
I’m also 63. Married to an RN.
Last time I went to a physician was January 2020. I will never go again unless they transport me against my will unconscious.
Dumped our health insurance a little over four years ago when we realized that we had been paying in several hundred dollars per month for years on end *and never once reached our annual deductible.* Health insurance is the biggest scam of the modern world.
Completely free of all prescriptions I’d rather die than go back on one.
If you saw my post yesterday about my wife being “disagreeable” because she refused Specialists’s referrals at her recent doctor’s appointment, they absolutely don’t want to ever treat me.
PS: wife just told me her PCP put two blatantly false statements in her med record from that visit: (1) that she refused a mammogram even though she has a family history of breast cancer (she told her the opposite - *NO* history.
This is me. We will die. We don't want to die or die without help which is what powers the money hungry system. I'm in stage 4 elderly.
Ha! I’m at Stage 4 Boomer Asshole myself. No filter whatsoever.
Can’t believe I’ve become so much like my WW2 veteran Dad. Lol
My goal at this point is not to prolong my life really- just to maintain quality of life that keeps me out of system
Me too at 62.
I would agree, but, there are circumstances! I was already older than those of you quoting ages when, spontaneously, I started suffering absence seizures (aka Petit Mal seizures). I'm told you normally 'grow out of' these by the age of 16. I just 'freeze' and am totally oblivious to their occurrence, unless told by someone (including my Neurologist on one visit!)
So, I'm on two different meds now, for life. Have never heard any suggestion of an alternative treatment. So.
Sometimes there are emergencies that require the system- but we should have a choice about insurance or medicare or private- and not be forced to pay into a corrupt system. I fell a year ago off 3” step- multiple injuries including dislocated shoulder and broke proximal humerus ORIF surgery screw/plate. 5 months postop all my providers are private pay because they actually help me- because system is such a scam I am essentially paying double this new year- for insurance don’t use and for the care that is helping. If we weren’t charged grossly inflated prices and negotiated cash pay discounts like other businesses that would be preferable to insurance scam/illness industry. People think one catastrophe means they need the insurance but if you had ALL THE PREMIUMS AND DEDUCTIBLES YOU ALREADY PAID FOR NOTHING -you could pay for care yourself!!
Believe me, I totally agree.
And ER and hospital stay was nightmare!! Sucked to have to engage. Don’t get me started on home health aides that I needed for 10 nights and had to pay for OOP (“you should have bought a chair because this one us too uncomfortable for me to sleep in” [while supposed to be helping/watching ME] and another one- although part of agency job description wouldn’t vacuum around my bed to pick up crumbs unless I had “a bonnet to cover my hair [weave] because dust will get in my hair” - 2nd one I dismissed but refused to leave unless I called the agency while she was standing there so I told her don’t make me call police because you refuse to leave my home!! 🤦♀️ I was a nurse. It’s insanity.
Hope you counted the silverware. (Not that those people would ever work that hard for a buck.)
Very small sample size, but I've never encountered anyone 60+ yrs old that was healthy that had not shunned the pill dispensary system. The dozen or so people I've known that reached 90+ all CONSCIOUSLY avoided the entire system and stayed active until the end. Including my 100 y.o. grandma.
Just ask hospice nurses how often patients referred for end of life care and thus switching to comfort only meds like pain meds improve after all the other crap they are taking are stopped….no more heart meds, and cholesterol meds, and psych meds, and, and, and. Take them from 20 pills a day to two for pain and they get better.
Good morning!😃☀️
Good morning! Where’s Janice? Need her scripture verses! Goes great with morning coffee!
I noted on another Substack, that Karen Bandy and The Imaginary Hobgoblin were making derogatory comments about Janice and her posts along with general insults for some of the rest on C&C. Very disheartening indeed. I pray she did not read those comments and that is why we are not seeing her post.
That’s really gross to go to another Substack and smear another one and its readers. How low can they go? They get blocked here and run crying to another?
Middle school behavior.
It was on Jenna's SS yesterday Juju. I am surprised you did not see it. They had made multiple comments between the two.
I did read her yesterday but I didn’t spend much time in the comments. I had to start blocking some accounts both on hers as well as Simulation Commander’s. I disagree with both those authors on occasion but I really love and respect both of them, and we agree on more than we disagree on. They are both always amiable and open to differing opinions in a respectful way. But the narrative trolls that are here are now descending on their Substacks too, because they can’t let any space be disease free. They really are a virus. I don’t see us invading all their spaces to push our views and expose them to what they might not be hearing. As far as I’m concerned that’s a personal responsibility. It’s not my job to make sure they all hear alternative views. It’s their job to seek that out on their own.
But that’s not how these clowns operate. They believe they are on some Holy quest to inform us all, thinking we don’t go anywhere else and only live here, because how can we think the way that we do otherwise? That’s really their logic. 🤣
Don't interact with Trolls. Like a candle needs oxygen... Cut off oxygen and candle goes out.... Stop interacting with Trolls and their fun ends.
See it here locally too. Just had our local elections (in MO they are always first Tue in April) and as usual, FB was a cesspool. Every conservative lost, and our so called purple city is now D controlled. Mostly due to low turnout by independents and conservatives coupled with massive get out the vote efforts by teacher, fire and police unions who all endorsed the D's, even though technically, local races are 'non-partisan'. But the left invades every FB group and candidate page, even the private groups (with fake profiles) and then harasses every commenter. Kick them out, and they still have spies who screenshot everything and give them to share everywhere. Some post 30-40 comments a day, guess they don't have jobs or a life. Oh there are a few who punch back, but it's a massive waste of time. Every comment on a hateful post just bumps it up and makes it more visible. Sad thing is, not every candidate has the required thick skin, and most wither and disappear or if they win, they are one and done, as the harassment is just not worth it. One conservative school board member had to put her kids in private school, due to harassment. Even businesses that display conservative candidate banners get threatened or even vandalized. It's ugly. All of this talk of D's being on the ropes is completely off base in our little corner.
So I JUST read an article from Torrence Stephens. He links to them here in comments sometimes. I thought it was a good article. I went to the comment section and The Imaginary Hobgobilin was there posting just awful, nasty things about this community, under replies it had nothing to do with. He was trying to fit it in anywhere he could. I was shocked by the lies and complete misrepresentation as if it were fact. Really it was just his “feelings.” Karen Bandy was there too going back and forth with him. Not as bad and at least she gave Jeff credit for having good insights, still - it was sad to see that kind of gossip behind the backs of everyone here.
So that’s TWO substacks where they are defaming this author and this crowd.
I was disappointed to see how Torrence responded. It wasn’t fair either. He said he simply comes in, plops down his link and gets the heck out of here. Why? Why if you hate us so much are you marketing to us???? His views appear to be in sync with Jeff. I unposted my repost of his stack. I can’t support someone that is that unfair and encourages such nasty gossip.
Agreed! Thanks Y'all for pointing out known trouble makers in the posts! (when I see these names mentioned - I will block them!)
I saw this happening on C&C several weeks ago, but it's good to know what to do about (and now how to do it! (Whoever posted the "How-to" to block someone - thank you! I'm a bit on the low side of the Tecno IQ! 😁)
Juju, my error, it was on Torrance's stack, not Jennas. I read so many and got it confused. Yes, I was very saddened to see this conversation take place. I enjoy Torrance and his stack too and perhaps he was just trying to stay on the fringe of that conversation and wanted to be more neutral than the other 2. These things will happen and we will just carry on and enjoy Janice and the posts by all the other wonderful people here. Have a peaceful wkend Juju!
Well that’s really quite petty! What is it with people? Live and let live!
Good to know Lori. Fancy going onto another stack and shit-talking about Janice and C&C. They must be Democrats 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Don't interact with Trolls. Like a candle needs oxygen... Cut off oxygen and candle goes out.... Stop interacting with Trolls and their fun ends.
She posted here. Not first as usual, but inspiring as usual.
Janice posted earlier.
Morning Donna! 💃☕️
Black coffee... CoVid free please. Politically conversing with my friend over a cold draft beer yesterday as the Masters finished and space capsule was in re-entry and splashdown mode. An eavesdropping Jersey girl (Late 50s) was pleasant enough initially, but lost her mind when i mentioned Bobby K. Jr. Then it was all "crazy" "anti-vaccine", "not even a scientist", "I don't believe you", "Are you emblematic of the people in this community?" then an abrupt finish with "I came here to watch the Masters not get into a political debate". A horrible and Nasty Alpha-woman with no man at her side who went into attack mode (at Happy Hour) then auto shut-down. A typical Coloradan who's from elsewhere and has done their part in elevating DemoCult control in CO.
The contortions on people’s faces that appear when they realize you are pro Trump administration is unbelievable. Part of the woke mined virus, they have completely lost their marbles.
I mean when I learn someone is pro-lib, anti-Trump, I don’t get all hateful with them. I might have a look or two of pity on my face for them, but I still am kind and treat them with respect.
Initially she wasn't in TDS mode, but the Kennedy thing triggered her progressive parasitic brain worm apparently. The CoVid vaxxines are still a point of highly emotional contention. At least Trump's moved on from his "saving millions of lives with miracle vaxxines" nonsense, his ego still firmly believes that, but he understands that doesn't sell to anyone. The trusting and fearful were easily Duped during CoVid. The rest of us were powerless to intervene. No reason to be nasty and hateful with each other as we're all commoners in the eyes of the Power Players running things.
"triggered her progressive parasitic brain worm apparently" LMAO!!!!
Right?! That was a good one! 😁
It's funny that the TDS sufferers have amnesia about how they would never take a "Trump vaccine".
i strongly mentioned just how political the Democrats made the issue right out of the first test-dose and then how they did a 180 on it with full media support. This Jersey girl never contracted CoVid--so either she has the top-level blood type that resists such a bio-weapon-pathogen, or was so mildly touched she didn't notice. Yet credit extended to the vaxxines was implied.
Big Pharma was somehow miraculously and coincidentally BLESSED by the 3 month delay of vaxxine rollout to the public that was so very well timed with the Biden-Harris 3am Ballot Dump into 7 or so key precincts under the watchful eyes of Democrat County Clerks. Had the Election Rigging push failed, 90+% of Americans simply would NOT have taken a Vaccine. Trump's Pharma-salesmanship would NOT have worked in 2021-23 any more than it worked for his campaign in 2024. The Media would have had to attack the vaxxines and blame Trump for fear, deaths, vaxx-injuries, and all things CoVid. Pharma would have not made windfall deals globally, and the depopulaters would have been stymied. So just how in-on Biden's 2020 DeepState Cheat were the DeepState owned and operated vaxx makers?
It's really amusing. How they wig out and then run away.
Like my daughter. Although she lives 6 hours away, so just hangs up.
Sorry to hear that about your daughter.
Oh I'm just Much harder than my older brothers. That's both my brothers. They hang up.
Yeah, a good friend, and the Only Liberal friend I still have (because he actually walks the walk) asked to change the subject because he hates what RFK Jr. has done to the "Gold Standard" CDC.
I have a golfing buddy who has TDS. His wife has TDS from the "Pussygate". Anyway I told him "Can't we all just get along?". He's an old democrat from the JFK era. Can't we normies just meet in the middle and cut the acrimony??
He flipped me off.
He is the loser, not you.
Trump wasn’t wrong about the looseness of women on the make.
Jake—I have a lib friend who refers to conservatives as ‘magats’ which I thought beneath her. Evidently, I was mistaken. It has become her favorite way to refer to people who disagree with her.
They really have a lot of displaced hate. They are not happy people.
Are you still golfing with that libturd? Hope not.
I like "libturd". Permission to use it, Lori 🤣🤣
I quipped "Maybe one crazy guy in charge every 40 years or so might help offset the entrenched Agencies FULL of crazy people working on behalf of Big Pharma". All she said was "He hasn't fixed anything, he's just there for his ego and is a wrecking ball". I don't know specifics, i just know what the powerful status quo pulled on us all with LIES and OSHA mandated jabs and VAERS... at a minimum, untrustworthy hateful scum deserve a wrecking ball.
They are good at memorizing their One scripted sentence. Any retort after that is .. shut up. 😂
“We can’t discuss this anymore” 😑🙄 That’s when you know they have run out of talking points.
I think he means the 14 C gold plated standard, that rubs off over time 🤣😂
And that covers up the ugly cheap metal underneath and fools people into thinking it’s real gold 😑
Can't believe you are still his friend.
I have known him 55 years. I was the best man at his first wedding, to a black woman. They adopted 2 black babies from drug addict mothers. Both have been problem children, one a lot. He is an anthropologist who has been to Africa dozens of times for research, but also helping people. He is in more of our daughter's baby and infant photos than anyone but family. He has been very supportive since I told him if our daughters' suicide. I respect him as much or more than any conservative friends I have.
Better you than me Roland.
Blessings to you and the family as always.
Women seem to be the worst on this, WP.
TDS is one thing but the Covid jab issue is ballistic. They will never back down on that one because the idea that they’ve been poisoning themselves with shot after toxic shot is completely unacceptable. They absolutely have to be right and will lay on the hostility and accusations to prove that they are because commonsense conversation and statement of fact will suggest otherwise.
ah, WP, sounds like you had an encounter with the Western Colorado Blue-winged Harpy. They used to be much less populous, but due to spreading delusion and refusal to embrace reality, along with migration from expensive California, their population seems to be growing in other areas, along with their general unhappiness.
The quick deployment of gaseous emanations may help slow their vocal attacks before they become physical.
Fight fire with fire - if they sling BS then they deserve farts aimed at them.
—“the Western Colorado Blue-winged Harpy. “
🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
Perhaps you should have informed this nutjob, that she was likely committing the crime of assault.
"Assault is a legal term—both a crime and a tort—defined as an intentional act that causes another person to experience reasonable apprehension of imminent harmful or offensive contact."
Yeah...quite a few of those around.
Good morning!
"...Stay optimistic. It could be the dawn of a golden era of health, and it’s starting right here, in the country scraping the bottom of the health statistics barrel."
I don't know how he does it. Jeff has a perplexing way of turning bad news into good news with no one noticing. It's a conundrum. I know there is a word for it... I just can't think of it.
Brilliance.
"Optimism helps us persevere"
Lemonade maker?
She'll be right, mate 😉
Good morning from gently-raining Lakewood, WA....right next to JBLM, Fort Lewis & McChord AFB....May our troops stay strong & vigilant, and may we citizens strive to do the same! 🫡🫡🫡🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Good morning, Susan, from the gateway to the Cascades. Raining here, too. ☺️
