Off topic but wanted to share…my response to a post about No Kings Day (makes my blood boil!).
{Edited for typos}
It’s not organic if it’s planned nationally.
It’s not organic when I receive text messages DAILY to fund and feed college students who wish to attend.
It’s not organic when attendees wear the same T-shirts and wave their same glossy printed signs and carry the same expensive banners.
It’s not organic when congress chooses to continue the government shutdown and the suffering of Americans for this rally.
It’s not organic. It’s planned. It’s intentional. It’s well funded.
And who are you protesting exactly? THE PEACEMAKER. The guy who settled EIGHT WARS in EIGHT MONTHS, brought PEACE TO THE MIDDLE EAST, BROUGHT THE HOSTAGES HOME, REDUCED CRIME IN DC AND MEMPHIS, and CLOSED THE BORDER IN ONE DAY.
And who DIDN’T you protest? The party who FORCED DEADLY SHOTS ON US CITIZENS, LOCKED THEM IN THEIR HOMES, CENSORED MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS AND RUINED THEIR CAREERS, CENSORED SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS, AND LITERALLY INSTALLED A PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE WITHOUT A PRIMARY.
So, tell me. WHO’s the FASCIST?
Have fun at your make-believe protest protesting your make-believe fascist (who is DEFINITELY NOT HITLER…after all, he freed the Jews AND Palestine).
I’ll be celebrating safer streets, a healthy economy, affordable energy, and my birthday ☺️.
During the last “No Kings” protest I drove past hundreds aging white Boomers holding signs (some upside down). It was a pathetic gathering. I felt like meandering through the protesters with a “Get a Job” sign.
I'm a boomer, and I too cringe when boomers get all the blame. Unfortunately, I believe that many members of the boomer generation, especially those who consider themselves "educated," ARE a big part of the problem. In my personal experience, they refuse to let even a small ray of light penetrate their delusions (for fear, I suspect, that if they discover that one of their sacred beliefs is based on a lie, their whole political identities may be undermined). For example, many of my former friends still believe in the Russiagate hoax; the most they'll concede is that they've read articles from "both sides" and don't know who is right. When I ask whether they have read the documents Tulsi declassified and released demonstrating that Russiagate was a fraud perpetrated by the Dems and deep state, they say they don't know what I'm talking about out. When I offer to send a link to the docs, they say they're not interested. It's hard to give up the delusion that one is smarter than and more enlightened than the unwashed masses.
There used to be a saying something like "Someone can be intelligent without being smart.” That probably refers to "book smart" vs. "street smart".
The smartness (or wisdom) part of the equation involves good old common sense, sound judgment, and the ability to apply knowledge effectively in real life. Intelligence would be the ability to read and learn facts, but I would argue that a great many who have ostensibly done that still aren't very smart. I would say being smart means you can use critical thinking, whereas it sure seems like a lot of seemingly intelligent people have less than zero critical thinking skills.
Sad to say, I'm describing all but one of my former "friends." All of them are active or retired lawyers and judges, i.e, people who have analytical skills and should know better. All consumers of legacy media.
I seriously doubt my sister would pretend to read articles "from both sides". But I don't know, because we rarely speak, and then if I call her to let her know I'm thinking about her. I think her daughter has blocked my phone number, probably because I got her a Bible for a wedding gift.
Does she have any kids or ever been married?!? These are the women that are pissed off that they swallowed the lie that a cubicle career was better than a loving spouse, children and grandchildren. These women are the lonely bitter losers at life and can’t stand the rest of us!!
It's not a political delusion. If they are "educated" (sic) they probably have gotten into "liberated" sexual beliefs and behaviour, including contraception, vasectomies, abortions and support for Planned Parenthood, etc. That's the rough stuff, where it's hard to admit what was a mistake.
I'm a boomer - most of my friends are brain dead and listen to MSM - but at least they don't castigate me for my push backs and affinity for alternative medical treatments and protocols. I've lost a few friends - one a long time friend (and that hurt for about 18 months--I've left her to the Creator for His working in her heart and mind).
National Guard troops are usually "most times civvies" and only go to "camp"' once a year for I believe 2 weeks of 'training'. So they don't have the "physical training" daily that full-time military troops do. TX has a great many Hispanics in their state - and for some unknown to me anyway reason, I see more overweight people in that ethnic group than I do Western European progenitored citizens. Could be the tacos and beans in their diet--too many carbs--who knows...I surely don't. I've lost 15 lbs the past 6 months religiously following "intermittant fasting" - and I espouse it to anyone who has persistent weight issues. I've "fought the battle of the bulge" most of my adult life - and not to blame my parentage--but both my parents were obese--they didn't start out that way--but by the time I was in grade school both of them had about 60 extra pounds on their bodies--and my father even more than that (and I favor my Dad's side of the family). I started "blossoming" after my first pregnancy and would sporadically go on "crash diets" and then regain every pound I had lost in less than a year. I feel GREAT doing the "intermittent fasting" - I'm on a 15/9 schedule (15 hours of no eating and sparse water intake and 9 hours during which I eat my 2 meals of the day).
Americans are probably the most obese nation of all - I see it whenever I travel (which I haven't done recently--but I doubt it's changed very much). We should get on the bandwagon and STARVE THE FAT CELLS AND FEED THE "THIN CELLS". I understand a great many people in the USA follow the "Keto Plan" to lose poundage and also the "Mediterranean Eating Plan" - both of these have sound medical methodology behind them. Our POTUS lost 22 lbs between his first and second terms - I can see it in the way he carries himself and how his clothing fit him. Congrats to DJT to losing some of the bulk and taking care of his 'temple'. We need him to STAY HEALTHY for at least the next 3 years!!
I love intermittent fasting and have followed that for a long time. I usually manage a 16 hour fast from early dinner to somewhat late breakfast. No lunch, small dinner. It works!
I started the fasting when I got Dr Williams fantastic newsletters. He basically espoused no breakfast beyond tea or black coffee. Then eat yournormal lunch and dinner. It is a sound approach and I do it 6 days a week, I have a hearty breakfast on Saturdays but usually skip lunch for healthy snack. You’ll see improvements in lipid profiles and blood glucose as well.
“Educated, white and privileged boomers” who you see out on the street corners carrying those lame pre printed signs from NoKings.org or Indivisible.org, in the Blue cities and towns across the USA. 😳🤦🏼♀️
And if you ask them if they wouldn’t mind ‘hosting’ a “poor down on their luck illegal migrant” or their families just till they “got back on their feet” they flip out.
Oh and I would love to go to one of these ‘protests’ and do a ‘‘random casual study’ on how many of these people at these ‘protests’ got the EUA mRNA C*v*D ‘vaxxines’ and ‘boosters’!😉😝💉🦠
Anti-boomer hate is a psyop, an internet trend carefully cultivated and disseminated. And they get it from both sides of the spectrum. It's just fashionable to blame them for things that were institutionalized by government and law, by culture and economics. The bottom line is that younger generations as well as the bankster class are eying their fairly acquired wealth. Killing them off didn't go according to plan so now it's time to make them wish they were dead.
I’m an aging white boomer but, my brain is still in tact and I have a job. These protesters had one too many boosters, CNN is their Go To Channel and Social Security doesn’t quite pay the bills.
I'm a boomer myself. The purple haired protesting boomers we see today are the same idiots I thought were young idiots back in the 1960s. I wanted nothing to do with them and most people my age thought the same thing.
Here in Florida they literally filled a bus of nursing home residents, and brought them out to sit in their wheelchairs on street corners holding signs. It was rather disgusting.
There were early birder toads on the Wicasset bridge last Saturday. I made sure to give any of the losers who held their signs up to me and smiled as I inched by a hearty thumbs down as I looked them in the eye.
Thanks for that update! Decided we won’t be going up to close up until the 23rd, but perhaps some of the same losers will be present (and accountable?). Inched by. Yes, the Wiscasset bridge.
they did get a job, holding signs to support an idiotic cause at the expense of their country. I hope others don't forget the damage these people have caused.
It seems that's the real reason for the reboot. Not enough of the younguns even bothered to participate. I can tell you what working class voters all over America will be doing this Saturday - watching college football.
College football is still great! But, I'm continually surprised that people still pay to see the NFL, after all their many traitorous actions over the past decade.
It seems to be several billionaires club members and their "foundations" (Soros, Buffett, Neville Roy Singham, Rockefeller Brothers Fund, the Ford Foundation & others) I would not be surprised to find that mucho moola of taxpayer dollars where funneled that way under Biden and Obama, (O'Biden). Would bet SPLC is also neck deep in that mess too. Wonder if the Clinton Foundation supplies any financing?
The FUN part will be - now that DJT has listed Antifa as domestic terrorists, anyone proven to be funding them can have ALL their assets frozen/and/or confiscated! I will dance on the day that happens! Hey, let's pay the deficit down with THAT money!!!
Wonder if it could include anyone who paid bail money for those arrested (like Kamala arranged for BLM). I can also hope they find Stacy Abrams on that funding list. It still infuriates me that O'Biden gave her 2 BILLION of our tax dollars!!
I live in a smallish Northern California foothills town that used to be extremely conservative, but which over the last 25 years has been invaded by substantial numbers of wealthy coastal California elites. They have definitely turned our area purple, but for the most part, politics is pretty low key here and you don't notice any extremes.
However, on the previous No Kings day I happened across a gathering at an intersection near the store I was going to, and was rather shocked to see that MOST of the people were from the boomer era (i.e. they were young in the 1960s) with white hair, old and bent over, and a few with walkers. There were a few younger ones too, I saw a 20-something girl with a sign stating an obscenity against Stephen Miller.
I couldn't believe the protesters (maybe about 75 of them) and it was almost laughable. I had to conclude they were the leftie protesters from the 60's who never got smart, never matured politically, and were just as dumb as they were in the 60s.
I have to laugh though. The undemocrats and their financiers planned all this to meet up and pressure the Republicans to cave. No pay for the military, continued government shutdown and the Gaza "genocide." No Kings protest was to be the crowning moment. Instead - military is getting paid, hostages are home, Gaza ending, Trump is winning and the world sees it. And no one cares about the government shutdown or their dumb No Kings protest. MAGA & TAW! 👍😁
The brilliant "DataRepublican (small r)" over on X is all over this. She has a thread covering the funding sources for No Kings in detail. Here's the opening post:
"THREAD: Meet the Organizers Behind No Kings protest: Indivisible’s Leah Greenberg & Ezra Levin 🇺🇸
This week, the movement that started with a Google Doc... Indivisible... is back in the streets. ✊ Founded by former congressional staffers Leah Greenberg and Ezra Levin and funded by George Soros' Open Society network, Indivisible has grown from a viral guide into one of the most powerful grassroots networks in the U.S.
Now, they’re leading NoKings, a nationwide push to remind America that democracy means no one is above the law. 👑❌
This thread dives into who Greenberg and Levin are, how Indivisible rose to prominence, and what’s really behind the “No Kings” movement."
Bill Kristol [spelling corrected] said there would be full page color ads in newspapers across the country this week. He didn't say how much he was contributing to the cost, nor who else might be funding it.
They’re probably not expecting to reach or influence many people for their cause. But similar to Big pHarma advertising, this is a great way to ensure that mainstream media says the right things and doesn’t investigate or criticize the leftist radicals who are lining MSM’s pockets.
The ones here in the KC area are funded by a group called Indivisible.
According to Influence Watch:
Established by left-of-center activists Ezra Levin and Leah Greenberg in December 2016, Indivisible was originally organized as a movement along the lines of the conservative Tea Party opposition to President Barack Obama’s administration. To that end, Levin and Greenberg’s first project was a 26-page political organizing manual entitled “A Practical Guide for Resisting the Trump Agenda.” The manual highlighted the best methods to “beat back” President Donald Trump and the Republican majority in the U.S. House of Representatives. Since that original document was distributed, the movement has evolved into an effort to disrupt civil discourse and “sustain a powerful progressive movement.” https://www.influencewatch.org/non-profit/the-indivisible-project-indivisible/
I was at a R Women's convention out of town all day at the last one, and this one I am taking my 87 YO mom to her class reunion in a small town that does not have a protest scheduled on the map last I checked. So guess I will miss out again. The last one in my suburb (from pictures on social media and a few friends who meandered through to check it out) was a mix of boomers and a bunch of D party folks with voter registration tents and flyers for various causes.
I believe Indivisible is a Soros funded organization. Data Republican did a deep dive a while ago I think? 🤔 She’s done so many I might be mis-crediting her. Lol
We have a bunch of these lefties infiltrating MO - the second picture numbers seem really low. In MO alone, there is one group who has organized to fight the re-districting in our state. According to what I have read, since the new map did not have a super-majority, it can be overturned via initiative petition. The group raised just under a million dollars in 10 days and (paid) signature gatherers are everywhere from fall festivals to grocery store parking lots. The group is mostly funded by dark money PACs, who are funded by other dark money groups, who are funded by others, and on and on. Not easy to unearth the trail. One, Global Impact Social Welfare Fund, contributed $500K to the effort as well as $100K on an effort to defeat a pro-life measure that will be on the ballot next November. I have not had time to dig any deeper but suffice it to say, we have a target on our back in MO. The left has a document called Win the Midwest showing planning to flood the zone with money and community organizers.
I would argue it's not. Yes, Trump won by increasing margins in each of the last 3 elections. People paint Trump on hay bales, fly Trump flags and hang banners on fences in the rural areas. But they also voted for medicaid expansion, legal abortion, legal pot, min wage increases and paid sick leave. My mom's big extended family was lots of 'blue dog' working class Democrats. Those still living, and their kids, have flipped to Trump in pretty big numbers. Strong supporters of 2A, the military, the police and proud to be Americans. But they also like their gov programs, have seen their small towns hallowed out by manufacturing going overseas, drugs, and farms increasingly corporate and automated with few job prospects. Gov buildings in many towns are the nicest most well-maintained buildings, and the job security & benefits of those jobs are coveted. They distrust big government, by and large, but all too willing to cash the checks. It's complicated. Fiscal conservatives are a much rarer breed, and D's run as R's in some places and get elected. So the super majority in the legislatures is weak and ineffectual most of the time.
Indivisible.org has made inroads out in Commifornia as well. This summer there was a ‘standing’ protest by Indivisible every Friday evening from 5-6pm on a street corner near downtown Napa, CA. It mostly consisted of bunch of older, white, privileged, lefty ‘geezers’ waving lame ass signs and chanting BS slogans. On June 14th they co-mingled with No Kings.org and paraded through the streets of downtown Napa, again waving their lame ass signs and chanting incomprehensible slogans.
The signature "protest area" in our metro area is a park with an iconic fountain just east of probably the most famous part of KC - the Country Club Plaza https://missourilegends.com/2024/12/20/country-club-plaza-lights/ It was one of the first shopping districts developed in the 1920's to accommodate growing automobile usage and it used to be THE place to take a date or an out of town guest, with unique upscale shops and restaurants. Until the left got involved. Protests spill over from the park to the Plaza itself, big ones like BLM blocking traffic and running paying customers off. Gangs of teens vandalize and harass patrons in the summer months. Much of the luster has worn off, it's a shadow of what it was 20 years ago, although a new owner is working to effect some changes and push enforcement of laws again. But it's not uncommon to see groups at the fountain protesting one thing or another, but not sure who, if anyone really pays attention. No Kings will be there on Saturday, but betting it will be same crowd as your Napa peeps. A lot of sound and fury signifying nothing.
Actually go on the NoKings.org and Indivisible.org websites. They list who allegedly ‘supports’ them. Some of the ‘usual suspects’, and also quite a few ‘wealthy family foundations’, that you may or may not have heard of them. There’s quite the array of ‘supporters’ but they lean to the Progressive politics, Democrat, woke side of the spectrum.
(I hate to use the word liberal as it applies to these groups or people, because IMO there is nothing ‘liberal’ about them, as in the ‘definition’ of what we think of as ‘old school liberal’.)
NoKings.org and Indivisible.org are ongoing entities. You should check out their websites. It’s slick marketing under the guise of “community activism”.
Ironically, on Monday, Trump looked like the King of the World with dozens of world leaders fawning and posing for pictures. It was even reported that Macron, Starmer, and Carney were fighting over who would be the first to kiss the cuff of the King's trousers.
Yes indeed. The phrase "fan girling fan girls" came to mind when I saw those three, who had done everything in their puny power to derail the agreement. I especially liked seeing the death grip applied to Macron.
That was an epic moment... made KS look really really small, and the outpouring from Brits on social media was epic. I love the way Trump said it was nice of him to make it with about 20 minutes notice...
I had to laugh about Starmer and the weird look on his face. He looked really really constipated or something. I think he was realizing how irrelevant he is.
Losers who will participate in this astro-turf, paid for with your taxes via uniparty government funded NGO's, march of hate are simply evil, unbalanced (mentally ill) anarchist troublemakers who cannot stand that President Trump is winning on everything and destroying their planned and purposeful destruction of the USA. That they hate President Trump for bringing peace and prosperity EVERYWHERE, and hate us for supporting him, says everything you need to know.
Nard is correct, they will be paid to attend and act outraged - they will be led by "professional" protesters. Ignore them, let them have their phony protest - unless they attempt to harm you or others. If blood must be spilled, let it be theirs. Enough is fucking enough. Don't go looking for a fight but if it shows up at your doorstep or car door, defend yourself, do not be a victim.
None of it is organic. I hope you can open this X link. I've been following her for quite awhile. She's quite the sleuth when it comes to digging into the bowels of these organized, maze-like "events." Many of the involved organizations receive gov't money (our tax $'s!). I think cutting off the head of USAID has helped but unfortunately, I think there are many very wealthy people donating big $'s. Many of the people behind the scenes are former state dept people. I'll bet there are foreign players as well.
There's a federal investigation going on right now about this very issue (part of it surrounding Antifa as well) and I really hope it goes somewhere and something is done about it.
Yes, my wife has received the "donate to feed a college student" at No Kings. I saw on the rabid TDS Linkdin, a post by someone stating that they should invoke the 25th amendment on Trump because of some speech he made and I asked where the hell were you when we had a brain damaged president the previous 4 years who couldn't answer a question without a prompter. NOW these people have suddenly found their voices.
For now I hope the No King rally’s continue. My in laws (82 yo and 76yo) are finally going outside and getting some fresh air after locking themselves up in their house since 2020. Other than that they only leave for dr appointments and more booster shots.
Bring Eric Trump’s new book “Under Siege.” If you’re getting strange looks for having a book, you’ll get the waiting room to yourself if you bring that book. 😁
I'm reading "Fool's Gold" right now, which is about the corruption of Gavin Newsom, Nancy Pelosi, Kamala Harris and Adam Schiff, to the detriment of California. It's a well researched book.
Being a lifelong resident of Commiefornia, thanks for the recommendation on the book. I've seen first hand all the damage these grifters have done to this once great state.
I learned from a substack author named MellowKat that a senate bill was passed to allocate money to the governors office. That money is paying for the Chinese to contract through a Canadian company to conduct aerial surveys for gold in California.
Tragic, as the broken concentration of 2 minute sound bites, and hyperactive video games has broken the ability of many to actually study disparate sides to any issue. Opinions are formed and reinforced by mindless droning.
A “Book” is a string of posts one right after the other, by a single person, organized in such a way that when taken together as a whole they convey an idea or a story or some information. The beauty to a “Book “ is that other people can’t trash it and make you feel like a fool before you’re completely done stringing all the posts together. Posters wrote “Books” a long time ago in the age before we all carried a TV flashlight heart monitor alarm clock super computer tape recorder telephone pedometer camera location tracker with us every waking minute.
Having driven on the DC Beltway, I exuberantly provide you with my congratulations! The flowers smell amazing.....the sky is clear......the coffee tastes like Juan Valdez JUST picked and roasted the beans! You must feel like you're in Nervana!!!!
Former Series 7 here ( general securities registered rep) .Insider trading is quite illegal. A'int no way she ( NP) should be allowed to trade given her position. What a pos for abusing her 'position'. Give me a fn break! Really?
I LOVE this post! Great timing! Eternal message! Thank you! ❤️
Our church is making a purposeful effort to memorize Scripture. Currently we are memorizing Psalm 91.
God's Word is powerful! That is why I love reading your posts EVERY day, Janice!
I enjoy reading C&C (Jeff's calling which he does with excellence!) and then seeing your posts in the comment section - God's powerful and timeless Word!
I memorized Psalm 91 years ago when I was nearly electrocuted! It was only by a series of “coincidences” that I survived. I had climbed high on a dead pine tree to cut the top off so as to avoid a 12,000 volt power line. Then I would be able to safely cut the entire tree down. (I was doing this as a favor for my neighbor.)
But instead of safely removing the top of the tree, a gust of wind caused it to lay across the power lines. What ensued was pure chaos - huge sparks, buzzing in my ears, fire , and the nearby transformer blowing up!
What I learned:
The only difference between coincidence and Providence is ignorance.
Amen, Janice! I have been praying much for the salvation of President Trump, and his wife and family. I especially pray for Jared and Ivanka Kushner, that the Lord would open their eyes and reveal that Jesus Christ, the true Messiah, has already come and they would turn to Him and live!
Psalm 80:19 Restore us ,O LORD, God of Hosts! Let your face shine, that we may be saved. This is my women’s Bible study memory verse for this week. God has perfect timing and I pray this for our nation, for Israel , for Gaza and the world. Most of all for those twenty souls that were released yesterday, may God restore them as only He can.
President Trump has already expressed his belief and faith in Jesus Christ. “What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him? If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, and one of you says to them, ‘Go in peace, be warmed and filled,’ without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that? So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead. But someone will say, ‘You have faith and I have works.’ Show me your faith apart from your works, and I will show you my faith by my works…” James 2:14-26.
“No one born of God makes a practice of sinning, for God's seed abides in him; and he cannot keep on sinning, because he has been born of God. By this it is evident who are the CHILDREN OF GOD, and who are the CHILDREN OF THE DEVIL: whoever does not PRACTICE righteousness is not of God, nor is the one who does not love his brother.” 1 John 3:9-10
I think he finds it awkward to be questioned about his salvation; his response was basically "I'm not good enough for heaven" which is essentially humility. Prayer for his salvation (and that of all our leaders) is always a good thing.
And sometimes Trump is also not particularly eloquent in his off the cuff remarks so it’s not always clear what his real meaning is. But God knows his heart!
1 Timothy 2:3-6 NASB95 — This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself as a ransom for all, the testimony given at the proper time.
The Scott Adams story brought me to tears. I'm so glad he was "all in" back then, and has made it to this point in America where he can celebrate. He, and we, ARE on the right side of history.
I also miss Rush so much! My favorite memories of his broadcast are hearing him profess faith in the Lord Jesus Christ over the airwaves, for all the world to hear! I look forward to meeting him in glory.
He said he risked his health to stay behind Trump. In the spring he announced he had very aggressive stage four prostate cancer the day after Biden made the same announcement, and that he expected to pass from this world sometime this past summer.
We know he was fully jabbed (so in that sense he was always 💯 Trump, even when he was wrong). His large influence no doubt caused others to do the same 💉💉💉(even though he said he never recommended it since he’s not a doctor).
Now he’s miraculously cured. Good for him. May he have many more years.
His cancer isn’t gone, but he has found some treatments that are more effective. He is going on Pluvicto soon as well. Hopefully it will be beneficial. I wish he had been diagnosed before it metastasized, but this is the best option now.
I started crying when he did and I couldn’t stop. At one point he was trying to hold it in so much that his entire neck became red and you can see a blip in the video where he stopped, no doubt to take a break and collect himself, but his neck was still red upon returning so he didn’t break long. I lost it. I felt everything he was feeling. That’s a GREAT communicator.
I have been ALL IN since 2015. Then I personally was all out with 90% of my personal family, friends, co-workers and acquaintances since. Well, maybe just 50% until China virus in 2020 then it went 90%. 😉
When I was in the Army in the early 1980s there was a height and weight *requirement* to be in the military. Being young and healthy, it was possible to eat 2 big macs, a large order of FF, a Filet-O-Fish, AND a quarter pounder with cheese in one sitting (I don't eat *any* fast food now, and do NOT recommend it... the food is different than it used to be in the 1980s... sorry, that's a fact) and not gain weight from fat because we were required to run 4 miles (2 was the standard, but our post commander upped the standard) and do 40 pushups and 40 sit-ups minimum. PT was every single day. I never saw any soldier who was overweight in 4 years. I am embarrassed by pictures like the one here. Good grief!
These are national guard troops. Guys that do things like operate power plants and such. Granted,they too should be held to a high standard, but expecting 30 to. 50 year old men to volunteer their lives, and remain in peak form, whilst having the family commitments they probably have, and doing it for nothing, is a little much. If I wasn’t caring for my bride, and seventy years old, I’d be with them. I’m surprised no one else defended them.
(Air) National Guard here, I see your point in the lifestyle and professional differences from active duty troops. But the Guard is an all volunteer organization. Those guys made a conscientious decision to serve and did not maintain standards.
It’s one thing to be 10 lbs extra because you have a civilian career occupying most of your time. Those troops were easily +30 lbs from the maximum limit and it wasn’t muscle.
Both of you made really good points with these two comments. I’m glad you each took the time to share your points of view here. I forgot that National Guard doesn’t have the advantage of actually living 24/7 on a base immersed with the supports that make it easier to remain fit, and they do have extra challenges and stressors because of that. But I also agree that they need to maintain a character that devotes to physical self discipline if they are going to be fully effective in their volunteer roles, or step aside.
To be fair, our food system is such crap that it's actually difficult for many people to lose and maintain weight. The knowledge needed to do so is not widespread.
I’m a Texan. I defended them. I just haven’t had time to be on Substack until this evening. Just posted. I watched Abbott post them to the Border time and again where they had to deal with Biden’s gang cutting apart (literally) the border defenses the Texas Guard set up. They had to defend the border when their own national government was tearing their efforts. GO TEXAS !
I was in, in the early 70’s. We had to weight in every week. I was always in trouble because a woman wasn’t supposed to be muscular, so it took me out of the women’s weight range.
Yes, PT every day plus marching. I was always in Drill Sergeant so it was different. Plus the food was horrific.
Man, I remember those days. I would go to Popeyes and get a six piece and two biscuits. Then go across the street and get a quart of stag beer at the store and be in heaven. All for less than $6 in 1980 when I was in college.
you touched on something I think a shocking number of people still dont realize. The fast food of the 60s to around the mid 80s is different than now. McDs, for example, adds significant amounts more refined sugar to their burger patties than they did 40 years ago. Shakes are made with different ingredients, fries cooked in seed oils, more filler in McNuggets, etc etc. That applies to many fast food places.
When I first started college in the fall of 1967, for lunch I would often buy a MacDonalds cheeseburger (19 cents) and a small fries (23 cents). That cheeseburger was more or less the size of that tiny junior one you see now (don't know what they call it). There weren't any of the bigger burgers at all then, just a hamburger and a cheese burger. The fries were quite small. A coke was probably 10 ounces. AND....you just didn't see morbidly obese people then.
Colorado Dem vet-impeacher Congressdude from Aurora, Jason Crow running his mouth about how Trump presided over 70,000 Palestinian deaths, then forced to admit most of that happened under his mostly mentally fit, healthy enough-ish Commander in Chief JR Biden.
Best meme out there yesterday was a photo of Trump in Israel with "Hitler" brings peace to the middle east. That's Trumps karma - throw something negative at him and he turns it into a positive rhyme. Obama's undeserved Nobel Prize and that Jujitsu Trump Karma is playing out in another long line of TAW.
Hey, I'll be honest, if Kamchatkamala-Walznutz had done a similar deal i'd be emphasizing 1) the 2,000 released killer-terrorists 2) also noting that nutjob mainstream Dem-Hamas protesters would still be mostly bullying US Jewish college kids and complaining Palestine was sold out to save 20 worthless Jews. I'd also be on her as- over Ukraine and not negotiating with Russia. But SHE WOULD be lauded as the Global Leader of the Year and Peace Prize recipient no matter her level of insobriety. And Jascum Crow would be tooting her horn like the dishonest jackass he is, Thanks for your service Jason, now sit down and shut the F-ck Up.
Jeff, buddy — the Wolf’s still watching from the ridge. Some of us aren’t ready to worship Trump just yet, but credit where it’s due — your reporting cuts sharper than most out there. You’ve got the humor, the rhythm, and that rare clarity that slices through the noise. The Letitia James breakdown was brutal and brilliant, and your read on the peace deal was tight — fair, even if the Wolf still keeps one eyebrow raised.
You’ve built one of the few news spots left that feels human — a mix of wit, grit, and plain talk that doesn’t drip with corporate perfume. I may not share your full enthusiasm for the orange knight, but I’ll raise a mug to your consistency and courage. Keep calling it like you see it — that’s the path that still smells like freedom.
We don’t worship Trump. We worship the God who put him in the right place at the right time with the right leadership qualities and the balls to get things done.
@JO Respectfully, please try to look at news from the ground i.e. The Israel Guys, Yishai Fleisher, etc. Israel is usually defending herself, and the world states that Israel broke the cease fire; when the truth is Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis, etc either fired rockets or were the aggressor - hence broke the cease fire first.
Israel is not only fighting a physical war, they are fighting a media war and the biggest/longest religious/Spiritual war. God commanded King Saul to conquer the Philistines, David beheaded their champion - Goliath, but Saul never conquered the Philistines of Gaza. And here we are today, some 2975 years later.
The world would not tolerate Israel finishing God's command, to conquer and eliminate evil in Gaza - The Philistines.
So Blessed are the Peacemakers.
Matthew 5:9 AMP
[9] “Blessed [spiritually calm with life-joy in God’s favor] are the makers and maintainers of peace, for they will [express His character and] be called the sons of God. [Heb 12:14]
Oh please. Most jews especially in Israel don't follow GOD'S laws nor do they believe in HIM. They claim to be under the Talmud instead of the Leviticus laws GOD handed down. Most who live in Israel originated from the Ukraine region from an Ottoman sect who changed their names to Rothschild. They ARE NOT people of the covenant. That covenant with GOD was originally with Abram and his descendants. Then with Jacob/Israel, a person not a state or country, and his descendants BUT the people of the country Israel did not keep their part of the covenant/contract so it was null and voided.
Please study history. That is not correct. Usually Hamas pokes the bear. They’ve done it for decades. And then Israel blamed for their response. Where has all the Palestinian aid gone over the years? It’s their choice not to improve their lot.
These are the dual reasons people that were deeply troubled by the genocide aren't celebrating. There are years of evidence indicating that this event is merely a ceasefire.
I feel for Scott adams. My husband and I opted out of the covid scam early although I was a little late for the Trump train - had TDS through his first term but have made a full recovery. We also lost friends and family, although not jobs, because of our failure to comply. At the time I didn't know that friends of 40 years would turn on me because of vaccine status and political views but even knowing what I know now I would still make those decisions.
Welcome to the club. I didn't have TDS; I was ambiguous towards him, but voted for him because I knew Hillary was bad news. I've been unsure about Trump as he seemed to be cozying up to the idea of digital currency, Real ID, mRNA. Then a few years ago, I realized he is part of taking down a global drug, weapons, child Trafficking, sex slave operation and they are using 5G warefare. I'm all in now.
My best friend for about 40 years, treats me with indifference most of the time. What has really been hard is her oldest son, who I took care of for many years, hasn’t spoken to me in eight years. Our youngest son and his family are still very much a part of my life, but it is just not quite the same. Regardless, we have to stand for truth.
@Judith Praying for you. My best friend from college and my best man at my HETEROSEXUAL wedding turned after 42 years! Sad. Fortunately, slowly starting to find common ground on social media. 🙏
Question: Do you think the jury will convict? Remember, the jury rules regardless of what the law or the judge says. We have the final word. ............................................................
Tucker:
Dad Charged With Killing Daughter’s Alleged Rapist Runs for Sheriff
Police arrested Arkansas man Aaron Spencer last year after he shot a man preying on his 14-year-old daughter. He opened fire on 67-year-old Michael Fosler after discovering him alone in a car with his missing child. Fosler died.
Now awaiting trial, Spencer is saying the legal system “failed” him by charging him with murder and is running to become his county’s next sheriff. He launched his campaign on Saturday.
“I’m the father who acted to protect his daughter when the system failed,” he said in his announcement video. “This campaign isn’t about me; it’s about every parent, every neighbor, every family who deserves to feel safe in their homes and in their community,” he continued.
I think it was shown that Penny did _not_ actually kill the man - he was still breathing when the police showed up but nobody wanted to do the necessary rescue techniques or something. But yes - there needs to be some exception for "actually doing the job LEO should have been doing (or judges)".
I think we're going to see more and more vigilantism until something truly changes with the justice system. I have a family member in law enforcement, and he says it's not just the cops not doing anything, it's a whole trail of prosecuters who are making deals, judges who want to avoid going to trial (because trials are expensive, time-consuming, etc), and also social-justice corrupted judges that make lousy judgments. Not to mention the whole concept of innocent-until-proven guilty makes things complicated. Remember, they all need evidence to press charges. Even if everyone in a community knows that someone is a drug dealer or a bad guy, including the cops, they can't arrest or charge him just because we all know "he's a bad guy". They actually need an evidence trail that will stand up to scrutiny on paper. All of this adds up to a situation in which the victim often goes without justice.
The main things: Get rid of judges with woke or diversity leanings (Justice should always be blind), and reduce the number of plea bargains and people let out on probation. Nobody who does violent crime should be released on probation. Also, bring back work requirements, picking up trash, deputy on horseback with shotgun. Make doing time such a literal pain that no one wants to do it.
On a side note, I actually appreciate the "pedo-trapping" vigilante stuff that is going on, where some dude poses as a minor online and then beats the crap out of the pedophile when he shows up to the meet. The pedo is only getting what he deserves.
MissyCoyote, I read a book, big thick book, about 20 years ago about that very subject: vigilantyism. It was called "Unintended Consequences" and was a fictional story of the development of gun culture in the U.S. When the Govmnt started illegally persecuting gun owners, they took the law into their own hands. Nefarious people started dying and nobody could do any thing about it.
This reminds me of the dad who shot his friend, a pedo DA or judge (can’t remember), when he found his daughter’s number in the pedo’s contacts. The guy ran a brothel through his office.
In today's legal environment with Marxist judges and liberal-washed juries, justice goes wanting. Point is, most people and most juries don't understand that they are the final arbiter of justice with the power to totally ignore any instruction from the judge and to disregard any law they deem unjust. They are the final gatekeepers of justice and liberty. But most people don't know the power they have as a jury.
This: "The move infuriated Democrats, who are now sullenly trying to decide whether suing the Administration to block military pay would be a winning or losing political look."
I’ve recently started listening to Scott Adam’s daily podcast after taking a few years off. I love listening to him talk about Trump and Scott laughs out loud at how Trump manipulates and trolls his political enemies. It’s such a pleasure to hear someone laugh, we don’t laugh enough anymore. I tune in just to listen to him laugh. It’s also very poignant to listen to Scott describe his health journey. He doesn’t talk too much about his health, sometimes alluding to a treatment that seems to be working or a treatment that has stopped working. He’s very intelligent and worth listening to. Tune in to hear him laugh- it’ll brighten your day.
Norman didn't coin the term--it's been around for a very long time (Proverbs says "A merry heart doeth good like a medicine")--but he did write a book about the power of laughter in the midst of illness, called Anatomy of an Illness: As Perceived by the Patient. It was one of the first popular take-charge-of-your-own-health books back in 2005, in which he explained how he had to take his crippling affliction, ankylosing spondylitis, into his own hands and work with his accommodating doctor to forge a treatment. He found that a solid period of laughter after watching movies that really made him guffaw gave him hours of relief from pain. "Laughter truly IS the best medicine," he said. This book had a tremendous effect on me, such that I even remember the name of his malady!
I too think it's a 5D chess move, but because I can't play 1D chess, I can't figure it all out. LOL What I've learned is that everything Trump does is intentional and designed to confound the Enemy.
Read in DJT’s voice: “The memo was a mistake. A YUGE mistake. I’ll never get another shot of any kind, much less the covid shot. Fauci, that evil cockroach… He’s an evil cockroach. He lied. The evil cockroach lied. People died on account of his lies. The entire vaccine industry is a house of cards. Bobby’s about to torch the house of cards, with that evil cockroach, Fauci, inside.”
Nor can I. I’m a words girl. Forgot to get into the numbers line when God was assembling brains. I do well to win at tic tac toe a respectable number of times.
I’d hope so but since nobody knows, the fact that they said it WAS the flu AND covid may cause some people on the fence to line up for another one. That bothers me.
I hope RFK smacked him
upside the head with a 6-pack of diet coke, either way. I really
You must’ve missed it when he recently told the world that he was beginning to think he was duped, lied to, and perhaps Operation Warp Speed wasn’t the miracle he was told that it was.
He questioned the shots. This was days before he announced the POSSIBLE connection to Tylenol and autism, when he also told parents to space out the DTaP if
Oooo! Have you seen the Del Bigtree movie yet? A buried study comparing vaccinated and unvaccinated children has finally come to light—and the results are shattering the vaccine narrative.
Featured in Del Bigtree’s new film An Inconvenient Study, this long-suppressed data reveals what public health agencies have refused to examine for decades: vaccinated children suffer dramatically higher rates of chronic illness.
Gonna need more Ozempic, get to know your current fat a** military, they want their dresses/lipstick back, the Biggest Loser (Generals Edition) and more no more fat woke military generals memes!
Dems hate oligarchs (like Pritzker hates buffets), he wears a mask & opposes RFK Jr. (coz he's serious about his health) and more Governor JB Pritzker memes (+Poll: Who would win an eating contest?)!
Off topic but wanted to share…my response to a post about No Kings Day (makes my blood boil!).
{Edited for typos}
It’s not organic if it’s planned nationally.
It’s not organic when I receive text messages DAILY to fund and feed college students who wish to attend.
It’s not organic when attendees wear the same T-shirts and wave their same glossy printed signs and carry the same expensive banners.
It’s not organic when congress chooses to continue the government shutdown and the suffering of Americans for this rally.
It’s not organic. It’s planned. It’s intentional. It’s well funded.
And who are you protesting exactly? THE PEACEMAKER. The guy who settled EIGHT WARS in EIGHT MONTHS, brought PEACE TO THE MIDDLE EAST, BROUGHT THE HOSTAGES HOME, REDUCED CRIME IN DC AND MEMPHIS, and CLOSED THE BORDER IN ONE DAY.
And who DIDN’T you protest? The party who FORCED DEADLY SHOTS ON US CITIZENS, LOCKED THEM IN THEIR HOMES, CENSORED MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS AND RUINED THEIR CAREERS, CENSORED SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS, AND LITERALLY INSTALLED A PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE WITHOUT A PRIMARY.
So, tell me. WHO’s the FASCIST?
Have fun at your make-believe protest protesting your make-believe fascist (who is DEFINITELY NOT HITLER…after all, he freed the Jews AND Palestine).
I’ll be celebrating safer streets, a healthy economy, affordable energy, and my birthday ☺️.

During the last “No Kings” protest I drove past hundreds aging white Boomers holding signs (some upside down). It was a pathetic gathering. I felt like meandering through the protesters with a “Get a Job” sign.
I am so grateful that I am a healthy aging Boomer. I am disgusted by those folks
Yes this! Stop blaming Boomers! There are plenty of us who started the Tea Party in ‘12 that got DJT elected in the first place!!
I'm a boomer, and I too cringe when boomers get all the blame. Unfortunately, I believe that many members of the boomer generation, especially those who consider themselves "educated," ARE a big part of the problem. In my personal experience, they refuse to let even a small ray of light penetrate their delusions (for fear, I suspect, that if they discover that one of their sacred beliefs is based on a lie, their whole political identities may be undermined). For example, many of my former friends still believe in the Russiagate hoax; the most they'll concede is that they've read articles from "both sides" and don't know who is right. When I ask whether they have read the documents Tulsi declassified and released demonstrating that Russiagate was a fraud perpetrated by the Dems and deep state, they say they don't know what I'm talking about out. When I offer to send a link to the docs, they say they're not interested. It's hard to give up the delusion that one is smarter than and more enlightened than the unwashed masses.
Intelligence, education and knowledge does not necessarily result with a person exercising wisdom, discernment and prudence.
Especially because many of today's advanced degrees are technocratic. MBA's, Masters in Computer Science, etc Not really _education_, per se.
There used to be a saying something like "Someone can be intelligent without being smart.” That probably refers to "book smart" vs. "street smart".
The smartness (or wisdom) part of the equation involves good old common sense, sound judgment, and the ability to apply knowledge effectively in real life. Intelligence would be the ability to read and learn facts, but I would argue that a great many who have ostensibly done that still aren't very smart. I would say being smart means you can use critical thinking, whereas it sure seems like a lot of seemingly intelligent people have less than zero critical thinking skills.
You're literally describing my sister.
Sad to say, I'm describing all but one of my former "friends." All of them are active or retired lawyers and judges, i.e, people who have analytical skills and should know better. All consumers of legacy media.
I seriously doubt my sister would pretend to read articles "from both sides". But I don't know, because we rarely speak, and then if I call her to let her know I'm thinking about her. I think her daughter has blocked my phone number, probably because I got her a Bible for a wedding gift.
Does she have any kids or ever been married?!? These are the women that are pissed off that they swallowed the lie that a cubicle career was better than a loving spouse, children and grandchildren. These women are the lonely bitter losers at life and can’t stand the rest of us!!
And my brother
. . . and my oldest brother.
It's not a political delusion. If they are "educated" (sic) they probably have gotten into "liberated" sexual beliefs and behaviour, including contraception, vasectomies, abortions and support for Planned Parenthood, etc. That's the rough stuff, where it's hard to admit what was a mistake.
Completely agree! I think they’re the most firmly entrenched because many believe the Democrat party is the same now as when Kennedy was elected.
I'm a boomer - most of my friends are brain dead and listen to MSM - but at least they don't castigate me for my push backs and affinity for alternative medical treatments and protocols. I've lost a few friends - one a long time friend (and that hurt for about 18 months--I've left her to the Creator for His working in her heart and mind).
National Guard troops are usually "most times civvies" and only go to "camp"' once a year for I believe 2 weeks of 'training'. So they don't have the "physical training" daily that full-time military troops do. TX has a great many Hispanics in their state - and for some unknown to me anyway reason, I see more overweight people in that ethnic group than I do Western European progenitored citizens. Could be the tacos and beans in their diet--too many carbs--who knows...I surely don't. I've lost 15 lbs the past 6 months religiously following "intermittant fasting" - and I espouse it to anyone who has persistent weight issues. I've "fought the battle of the bulge" most of my adult life - and not to blame my parentage--but both my parents were obese--they didn't start out that way--but by the time I was in grade school both of them had about 60 extra pounds on their bodies--and my father even more than that (and I favor my Dad's side of the family). I started "blossoming" after my first pregnancy and would sporadically go on "crash diets" and then regain every pound I had lost in less than a year. I feel GREAT doing the "intermittent fasting" - I'm on a 15/9 schedule (15 hours of no eating and sparse water intake and 9 hours during which I eat my 2 meals of the day).
Americans are probably the most obese nation of all - I see it whenever I travel (which I haven't done recently--but I doubt it's changed very much). We should get on the bandwagon and STARVE THE FAT CELLS AND FEED THE "THIN CELLS". I understand a great many people in the USA follow the "Keto Plan" to lose poundage and also the "Mediterranean Eating Plan" - both of these have sound medical methodology behind them. Our POTUS lost 22 lbs between his first and second terms - I can see it in the way he carries himself and how his clothing fit him. Congrats to DJT to losing some of the bulk and taking care of his 'temple'. We need him to STAY HEALTHY for at least the next 3 years!!
I love intermittent fasting and have followed that for a long time. I usually manage a 16 hour fast from early dinner to somewhat late breakfast. No lunch, small dinner. It works!
I started the fasting when I got Dr Williams fantastic newsletters. He basically espoused no breakfast beyond tea or black coffee. Then eat yournormal lunch and dinner. It is a sound approach and I do it 6 days a week, I have a hearty breakfast on Saturdays but usually skip lunch for healthy snack. You’ll see improvements in lipid profiles and blood glucose as well.
Yes! Insulin resistance is our enemy!! Intermittent fasting is our friend.
And so is bad gut health. Do you know about Dr. William Davis? He wrote the books about leaky gut and wheat belly.
“Educated, white and privileged boomers” who you see out on the street corners carrying those lame pre printed signs from NoKings.org or Indivisible.org, in the Blue cities and towns across the USA. 😳🤦🏼♀️
And if you ask them if they wouldn’t mind ‘hosting’ a “poor down on their luck illegal migrant” or their families just till they “got back on their feet” they flip out.
Oh and I would love to go to one of these ‘protests’ and do a ‘‘random casual study’ on how many of these people at these ‘protests’ got the EUA mRNA C*v*D ‘vaxxines’ and ‘boosters’!😉😝💉🦠
It is not blaming Boomers. It is correctly suggest who makes up the
"No Kings" group. Wonderful to realize that there are plenty in that age category who are Patriots.
Might be a good idea to come up with a catchy name to consolidate pushback.
All Kings? Kings We Are? King Party?
Brilliant, All Kings is inclusive, like that one!
No commies.
😅
All Kings Matter
Anti-boomer hate is a psyop, an internet trend carefully cultivated and disseminated. And they get it from both sides of the spectrum. It's just fashionable to blame them for things that were institutionalized by government and law, by culture and economics. The bottom line is that younger generations as well as the bankster class are eying their fairly acquired wealth. Killing them off didn't go according to plan so now it's time to make them wish they were dead.
Yea Covid didn’t get us all!!
I’m an aging white boomer but, my brain is still in tact and I have a job. These protesters had one too many boosters, CNN is their Go To Channel and Social Security doesn’t quite pay the bills.
I say 'boost up' if you feel the need. Let God sort it out!
Me too! I’m an aging Boomer on the Right side of history. Thanking Jesus for allowing DJT to be our president for “such a time as this”.
Amen fellow boomer girl.
Right in there with you, along with my boomer friends, only a very few of whom are liberal.
Me too.
Regardless of age, the disgust is appropriate.
Derangement Syndrome ages poorly, can be fatal.
I'm a boomer myself. The purple haired protesting boomers we see today are the same idiots I thought were young idiots back in the 1960s. I wanted nothing to do with them and most people my age thought the same thing.
They are bored and probably getting paid. Worthless.
Here in Florida they literally filled a bus of nursing home residents, and brought them out to sit in their wheelchairs on street corners holding signs. It was rather disgusting.
The nursing home should be sued for elder abuse.
Yes! This would be a good pushback.
Unbelievable, yet believable
How much did $$$ did they get?
I don’t know. But when I saw it, I was appalled. It would be interesting to find out who paid, and what. There was more than a few.
Nothing says passionate support of the movement quite like holding the sign upside down.
😂😂😂
There were early birder toads on the Wicasset bridge last Saturday. I made sure to give any of the losers who held their signs up to me and smiled as I inched by a hearty thumbs down as I looked them in the eye.
The nekid die-in in Portlandia? LMAO!! Saw some photos of that one.
No, I do not ever, ever want to borrow your bike.
Thanks for that update! Decided we won’t be going up to close up until the 23rd, but perhaps some of the same losers will be present (and accountable?). Inched by. Yes, the Wiscasset bridge.
😆
It’s just the same boomer BLM crowd reprogrammed for No Kings.
I think they get paid. Many are rent a mobs.
Believe it's a company/Organization call Indivisible??
Yes, that's who organizes, funds, busses them in and stages them here.
Maybe. But I know it’s under the heading, rent a mob.
I would bet dollars to donuts they have a job. At least a side gig as paid protesters. It is the only thing that makes sense to me.
ha ha, that was their job. Someone paid them, gave them lunch and bussed them back to their senior centers.
They promptly forgot they went and were forgotten. Until the next time an immobile mob is needed.
they did get a job, holding signs to support an idiotic cause at the expense of their country. I hope others don't forget the damage these people have caused.
It seems that's the real reason for the reboot. Not enough of the younguns even bothered to participate. I can tell you what working class voters all over America will be doing this Saturday - watching college football.
College football is still great! But, I'm continually surprised that people still pay to see the NFL, after all their many traitorous actions over the past decade.
It's part of their regional culture. I'm southern. I was disgusted at what Coach Saban did in 2020, but I'm still an Alabama fan. Roll Tide ;)
Let’s get the ringleaders arrested, now. These are most likely antifa paid actors. Who is paying them. Why don’t we know this yet? Odd.
Watch Glen Beck on who funds antifa.
It seems to be several billionaires club members and their "foundations" (Soros, Buffett, Neville Roy Singham, Rockefeller Brothers Fund, the Ford Foundation & others) I would not be surprised to find that mucho moola of taxpayer dollars where funneled that way under Biden and Obama, (O'Biden). Would bet SPLC is also neck deep in that mess too. Wonder if the Clinton Foundation supplies any financing?
The FUN part will be - now that DJT has listed Antifa as domestic terrorists, anyone proven to be funding them can have ALL their assets frozen/and/or confiscated! I will dance on the day that happens! Hey, let's pay the deficit down with THAT money!!!
Wonder if it could include anyone who paid bail money for those arrested (like Kamala arranged for BLM). I can also hope they find Stacy Abrams on that funding list. It still infuriates me that O'Biden gave her 2 BILLION of our tax dollars!!
https://www.city-journal.org/article/a-slush-fund-for-radical-protesters
I live in a smallish Northern California foothills town that used to be extremely conservative, but which over the last 25 years has been invaded by substantial numbers of wealthy coastal California elites. They have definitely turned our area purple, but for the most part, politics is pretty low key here and you don't notice any extremes.
However, on the previous No Kings day I happened across a gathering at an intersection near the store I was going to, and was rather shocked to see that MOST of the people were from the boomer era (i.e. they were young in the 1960s) with white hair, old and bent over, and a few with walkers. There were a few younger ones too, I saw a 20-something girl with a sign stating an obscenity against Stephen Miller.
I couldn't believe the protesters (maybe about 75 of them) and it was almost laughable. I had to conclude they were the leftie protesters from the 60's who never got smart, never matured politically, and were just as dumb as they were in the 60s.
That is their job. Probably got a hundred bucks to hold a sign.
Didn't you mean get (another ) jab?
I have to laugh though. The undemocrats and their financiers planned all this to meet up and pressure the Republicans to cave. No pay for the military, continued government shutdown and the Gaza "genocide." No Kings protest was to be the crowning moment. Instead - military is getting paid, hostages are home, Gaza ending, Trump is winning and the world sees it. And no one cares about the government shutdown or their dumb No Kings protest. MAGA & TAW! 👍😁
I like "undemocrats"...nice!
Hey I think I see a new word forming in there: TAWMAGA!
Kinda like Tawanda from Fried Green Tomatoes movie!
“In Fried Green Tomatoes, "Towanda" is a battle cry created by the character Idgie Threadgoode.”
Trump Derangment substacks are coordinating no kings. Many are astroturfed. Wonder who funds them…
Have you considered "Crowds on Demand" in CA?
Watched a young journalist questioning some "protesters" after much coercion one admitted to getting paid $70,000/year...organic and peaceful my *ss!!
Taxable income. Follow the returns…
Grifters.
WOW!!! 😮 I thought it was part time work…. Silly me
That is the question…I trust we’ll have an answer soon. Perhaps the Condé Nast Oligarchs you wrote about today 😉?
The brilliant "DataRepublican (small r)" over on X is all over this. She has a thread covering the funding sources for No Kings in detail. Here's the opening post:
"THREAD: Meet the Organizers Behind No Kings protest: Indivisible’s Leah Greenberg & Ezra Levin 🇺🇸
This week, the movement that started with a Google Doc... Indivisible... is back in the streets. ✊ Founded by former congressional staffers Leah Greenberg and Ezra Levin and funded by George Soros' Open Society network, Indivisible has grown from a viral guide into one of the most powerful grassroots networks in the U.S.
Now, they’re leading NoKings, a nationwide push to remind America that democracy means no one is above the law. 👑❌
This thread dives into who Greenberg and Levin are, how Indivisible rose to prominence, and what’s really behind the “No Kings” movement."
Soros group has to be investigated. Their agenda is insurrection.
But there are so many pols on his payroll that don’t want the gravy train to stop. Soros’ pockets are very crowded.
They circle the bowl. Asset forfeiture is on the horizon.
Treason has consequences.
Love DataRepublican!!! 🤩
Bill Kristol [spelling corrected] said there would be full page color ads in newspapers across the country this week. He didn't say how much he was contributing to the cost, nor who else might be funding it.
Ads in newspapers? Now that’s gonna reach a lot of people.
Can you buy a newspaper with EBT?
Probably no one’s ever tried🤣😂🤣
😂
😂🤣😂
Sounds like Ole Bill’s a day late and a dollar short! Here’s praying that’s a common level of intellect for much of the ‘movement’.
Dementia handles it for the old folks.
Is that Billy the comedian or Bill Kristol the POS?
POS
The POS
Bill crystal is a joke. He needs to go away already.
They’re probably not expecting to reach or influence many people for their cause. But similar to Big pHarma advertising, this is a great way to ensure that mainstream media says the right things and doesn’t investigate or criticize the leftist radicals who are lining MSM’s pockets.
The ones here in the KC area are funded by a group called Indivisible.
According to Influence Watch:
Established by left-of-center activists Ezra Levin and Leah Greenberg in December 2016, Indivisible was originally organized as a movement along the lines of the conservative Tea Party opposition to President Barack Obama’s administration. To that end, Levin and Greenberg’s first project was a 26-page political organizing manual entitled “A Practical Guide for Resisting the Trump Agenda.” The manual highlighted the best methods to “beat back” President Donald Trump and the Republican majority in the U.S. House of Representatives. Since that original document was distributed, the movement has evolved into an effort to disrupt civil discourse and “sustain a powerful progressive movement.” https://www.influencewatch.org/non-profit/the-indivisible-project-indivisible/
I was at a R Women's convention out of town all day at the last one, and this one I am taking my 87 YO mom to her class reunion in a small town that does not have a protest scheduled on the map last I checked. So guess I will miss out again. The last one in my suburb (from pictures on social media and a few friends who meandered through to check it out) was a mix of boomers and a bunch of D party folks with voter registration tents and flyers for various causes.
I believe Indivisible is a Soros funded organization. Data Republican did a deep dive a while ago I think? 🤔 She’s done so many I might be mis-crediting her. Lol
here are more- click on the second picture
https://x.com/seamusbruner/status/1975988508373200986
We have a bunch of these lefties infiltrating MO - the second picture numbers seem really low. In MO alone, there is one group who has organized to fight the re-districting in our state. According to what I have read, since the new map did not have a super-majority, it can be overturned via initiative petition. The group raised just under a million dollars in 10 days and (paid) signature gatherers are everywhere from fall festivals to grocery store parking lots. The group is mostly funded by dark money PACs, who are funded by other dark money groups, who are funded by others, and on and on. Not easy to unearth the trail. One, Global Impact Social Welfare Fund, contributed $500K to the effort as well as $100K on an effort to defeat a pro-life measure that will be on the ballot next November. I have not had time to dig any deeper but suffice it to say, we have a target on our back in MO. The left has a document called Win the Midwest showing planning to flood the zone with money and community organizers.
I wanted to show the names of the orgs that maybe hadn’t been highlighted yet, not so much the numbers.
Because Mo. is such a solidly red state they're on y'all like white on rice.
The same thing happened here. It's all but destroyed the county.
Fight, fight, fight!
I would argue it's not. Yes, Trump won by increasing margins in each of the last 3 elections. People paint Trump on hay bales, fly Trump flags and hang banners on fences in the rural areas. But they also voted for medicaid expansion, legal abortion, legal pot, min wage increases and paid sick leave. My mom's big extended family was lots of 'blue dog' working class Democrats. Those still living, and their kids, have flipped to Trump in pretty big numbers. Strong supporters of 2A, the military, the police and proud to be Americans. But they also like their gov programs, have seen their small towns hallowed out by manufacturing going overseas, drugs, and farms increasingly corporate and automated with few job prospects. Gov buildings in many towns are the nicest most well-maintained buildings, and the job security & benefits of those jobs are coveted. They distrust big government, by and large, but all too willing to cash the checks. It's complicated. Fiscal conservatives are a much rarer breed, and D's run as R's in some places and get elected. So the super majority in the legislatures is weak and ineffectual most of the time.
So can anyone tell me why soon very many people with jewish last names are always involved?? Just like the government. Just asking for a friend
Indivisible.org has made inroads out in Commifornia as well. This summer there was a ‘standing’ protest by Indivisible every Friday evening from 5-6pm on a street corner near downtown Napa, CA. It mostly consisted of bunch of older, white, privileged, lefty ‘geezers’ waving lame ass signs and chanting BS slogans. On June 14th they co-mingled with No Kings.org and paraded through the streets of downtown Napa, again waving their lame ass signs and chanting incomprehensible slogans.
The signature "protest area" in our metro area is a park with an iconic fountain just east of probably the most famous part of KC - the Country Club Plaza https://missourilegends.com/2024/12/20/country-club-plaza-lights/ It was one of the first shopping districts developed in the 1920's to accommodate growing automobile usage and it used to be THE place to take a date or an out of town guest, with unique upscale shops and restaurants. Until the left got involved. Protests spill over from the park to the Plaza itself, big ones like BLM blocking traffic and running paying customers off. Gangs of teens vandalize and harass patrons in the summer months. Much of the luster has worn off, it's a shadow of what it was 20 years ago, although a new owner is working to effect some changes and push enforcement of laws again. But it's not uncommon to see groups at the fountain protesting one thing or another, but not sure who, if anyone really pays attention. No Kings will be there on Saturday, but betting it will be same crowd as your Napa peeps. A lot of sound and fury signifying nothing.
Yes, these are the key words “a lot of sound and fury signifying nothing”!
The USAID money supply has supposedly been cut off so evidently it's coming from elsewhere.b
Many are the tributaries that dark money flows. However at this late date, they are terrified... Hence the panic, hence the escalation of "events"
Praying, praying, praying that they have very good reason for panic!
No upper limit to prayer. Good reasons surround us.
Look not to the fake news echo chamber.
Amen!

So "NOT" shocking:
https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1977747923619488058.html
Soros NGOs
They have nothing else.
I read somewhere it's an organization called Indivisible??
Yep.
that is being "investigated" AntiFa is now an official terrorist org.
Rounding up these goons is ripping them out by the roots, while defunding
the enterprise. Soros org. also being investigated.
They are failing "hugely"
Actually go on the NoKings.org and Indivisible.org websites. They list who allegedly ‘supports’ them. Some of the ‘usual suspects’, and also quite a few ‘wealthy family foundations’, that you may or may not have heard of them. There’s quite the array of ‘supporters’ but they lean to the Progressive politics, Democrat, woke side of the spectrum.
(I hate to use the word liberal as it applies to these groups or people, because IMO there is nothing ‘liberal’ about them, as in the ‘definition’ of what we think of as ‘old school liberal’.)
Is "No Kings" an ongoing thing? Or just that one-time event?
NoKings.org and Indivisible.org are ongoing entities. You should check out their websites. It’s slick marketing under the guise of “community activism”.
Data Republican had a great thread on X yesterday about the funding for this. Yes, George Soros and Open Society.
In the words of Gomer Pyle…Surprise, Surprise, Surprise! (Ok…that dates me!)
Shazam!!
That would be suuuuuuuprise suuuuuuuprize suuuuuuuuprise 😜
I love your "date me"! 😆 can you say it in Gomer? Miss that guy! Those were happy days.
Never forget the Sargaent's girlfriend's name. Bunny. Our daughter's middle name.
🤣
I used to be able to do a pretty good impersonation of that, but I’m out of practice since no one would know who it was anymore…
Citizen’s arrest! Citizen’s arrest!
Well, golly…dates me, too.
Jamison, can you send the link to the post? The XCretins deleted my account but I can still see posts. Thanks.

Happy Birthday! Wishing you nothing but best best to come for a very long life with many more birthdays to come!
Thank you☺️‼️
Happy Birthday. I find you a delightful addition to this addition to C&C
☺️
I second Mike’s comment! 😍
A very happy birthday to you Nard!! 🙏❤️
Happy Wonderful Birthday ! 🎉🥳
🤗
Happy Birthday Nard! 🎂
Ditto! 🎉
Happy Happy Happy Birthday, Nard! 💥💐🎂🧁🍦🎁🎁✨️
Ironically, on Monday, Trump looked like the King of the World with dozens of world leaders fawning and posing for pictures. It was even reported that Macron, Starmer, and Carney were fighting over who would be the first to kiss the cuff of the King's trousers.
Yes indeed. The phrase "fan girling fan girls" came to mind when I saw those three, who had done everything in their puny power to derail the agreement. I especially liked seeing the death grip applied to Macron.
Starmer, humiliated in the face of the whole world. Eesh! Perhaps the Grand Schemer intended this to get KS out of No. 10. Soon.
That was an epic moment... made KS look really really small, and the outpouring from Brits on social media was epic. I love the way Trump said it was nice of him to make it with about 20 minutes notice...
I love how Trump just lets things slip out at the most appropriate moment… lol 😂
Exactly, he is masterful, his timing incredible.
Recently read: We do not deserve him
Tend to agree
Trump has no f’s to give where those losers are concerned.
And that's one of the truly GREAT things about DJT!
I had to laugh about Starmer and the weird look on his face. He looked really really constipated or something. I think he was realizing how irrelevant he is.
Putin predicted this.
Well said Nard.
Losers who will participate in this astro-turf, paid for with your taxes via uniparty government funded NGO's, march of hate are simply evil, unbalanced (mentally ill) anarchist troublemakers who cannot stand that President Trump is winning on everything and destroying their planned and purposeful destruction of the USA. That they hate President Trump for bringing peace and prosperity EVERYWHERE, and hate us for supporting him, says everything you need to know.
Nard is correct, they will be paid to attend and act outraged - they will be led by "professional" protesters. Ignore them, let them have their phony protest - unless they attempt to harm you or others. If blood must be spilled, let it be theirs. Enough is fucking enough. Don't go looking for a fight but if it shows up at your doorstep or car door, defend yourself, do not be a victim.
Let's not forget the other tax payer funded "march of hate". The democrat march to the Napa Valley vineyards, spas and restaurants.
They have been outed, loyalist Demtards will not be amused.
When was that?
💗💯
—“ That they hate President Trump for bringing peace and prosperity EVERYWHERE, and hate us for supporting him, says everything you need to know.”
🎯🎯🎯
Are these so-called protests actually a "Color Revolution"??
Well said!! and they are losing, "bigly"
None of it is organic. I hope you can open this X link. I've been following her for quite awhile. She's quite the sleuth when it comes to digging into the bowels of these organized, maze-like "events." Many of the involved organizations receive gov't money (our tax $'s!). I think cutting off the head of USAID has helped but unfortunately, I think there are many very wealthy people donating big $'s. Many of the people behind the scenes are former state dept people. I'll bet there are foreign players as well.
There's a federal investigation going on right now about this very issue (part of it surrounding Antifa as well) and I really hope it goes somewhere and something is done about it.
https://x.com/DataRepublican/status/1977747923619488058?t=rO3oZL1Mk1MSY1xml8psPA&s=19
Love Data Republican!
Great post!
Data republican is AWESOME! I think we all agree on that!
Cutting off USAID was a big help. Unfortunately, it seems almost every department of our government has these "giveaways" , such as the EPA’s grant programs mentioned here - about 2/3 of the way down - https://www.city-journal.org/article/a-slush-fund-for-radical-protesters
Yes, my wife has received the "donate to feed a college student" at No Kings. I saw on the rabid TDS Linkdin, a post by someone stating that they should invoke the 25th amendment on Trump because of some speech he made and I asked where the hell were you when we had a brain damaged president the previous 4 years who couldn't answer a question without a prompter. NOW these people have suddenly found their voices.
But he was “sharp as a tack” 🙄🙄🙄
Obama 'marionette' ( obviously)!
Feels pretty good to have proper 'leadership' ( at last).
Happy Birthday, Nard, and may there be many happy returns of this day!
For now I hope the No King rally’s continue. My in laws (82 yo and 76yo) are finally going outside and getting some fresh air after locking themselves up in their house since 2020. Other than that they only leave for dr appointments and more booster shots.
😂😭
🤣🤣🤣
And as BFM would say, “user name checks out” 😆😁
Brilliant commentary Nard! Maybe we should send it to our family member who is shamefully passing out flyers for the protest in Detroit.
I would be honored…
Happy birthday, Nard!!!
Thank you! 👍👏
Happy Birthday!
Well said!!!!!!
Well done
I’ve been impacted by the Government Shutdown. Traffic on the DC Beltway is much lighter. I’m arriving too early for appointments.
Suggestion: bring a book 😉
Bring Eric Trump’s new book “Under Siege.” If you’re getting strange looks for having a book, you’ll get the waiting room to yourself if you bring that book. 😁
I'm reading "Fool's Gold" right now, which is about the corruption of Gavin Newsom, Nancy Pelosi, Kamala Harris and Adam Schiff, to the detriment of California. It's a well researched book.
Being a lifelong resident of Commiefornia, thanks for the recommendation on the book. I've seen first hand all the damage these grifters have done to this once great state.
I learned from a substack author named MellowKat that a senate bill was passed to allocate money to the governors office. That money is paying for the Chinese to contract through a Canadian company to conduct aerial surveys for gold in California.
It must be a hefty book because with just the 4 you mentioned, the corruption is massive.
Who's the author?
Susan Crabtree and Jedd McFatter
Thank you
Senator John Kennedy is releasing a book called “How to test negative for stupid”. Given all his funny one liners, bet it will be a hoot to read…
It *IS* dense. But not thick. 285 pages. Several of the chapters have over 100 sources. One has almost 200 references.
Or “Vaccines Amen” by Aaron Siri!
🤣😆
I bring a book to every appointment. I get strange looks 🤪
I usually bring RFK Jr’s book.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
What is "book?"
That is funny! Sadly 😞
Tragic, as the broken concentration of 2 minute sound bites, and hyperactive video games has broken the ability of many to actually study disparate sides to any issue. Opinions are formed and reinforced by mindless droning.
A “Book” is a string of posts one right after the other, by a single person, organized in such a way that when taken together as a whole they convey an idea or a story or some information. The beauty to a “Book “ is that other people can’t trash it and make you feel like a fool before you’re completely done stringing all the posts together. Posters wrote “Books” a long time ago in the age before we all carried a TV flashlight heart monitor alarm clock super computer tape recorder telephone pedometer camera location tracker with us every waking minute.
I’ve been reading Alex Marlow‘s (Breitbart editor-in-chief) new book “Breaking the Law.” Great insight on the lawfare used by the last administration.
Having driven on the DC Beltway, I exuberantly provide you with my congratulations! The flowers smell amazing.....the sky is clear......the coffee tastes like Juan Valdez JUST picked and roasted the beans! You must feel like you're in Nervana!!!!
Pugs, and especially the puppies, rule the kingdom
I KNOW!!!!! It's a THING! 😍
I KNOW!!!!! It's a THING! 😍
Cool, there is a silver lining, maybe platinum
I keep hoping the silver lining is that people recognize how utterly non-essential most of the government is.
Cancel pay for the house and senate
Cancel their brokerage accounts
Former Series 7 here ( general securities registered rep) .Insider trading is quite illegal. A'int no way she ( NP) should be allowed to trade given her position. What a pos for abusing her 'position'. Give me a fn break! Really?
It may be illegal, but it's rampant.
Same!!
I wonder if the heavy traffic will return after all this or did they get let go?
😂
I love this...
So ironically clever.
😂👍
LOL.
And it's GLORIOUS, right?!? 🥳

This is for President Trump and anyone else who is confused about how to get to heaven:
For the wages of sin is death, but the gracious gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
— Romans 6:23
But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
— Romans 5:8
[T]hat if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved[.]
— Romans 10:9
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
— 1 John 1:9
These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life.
— 1 John 5:13

✝️✝️✝️
I LOVE this post! Great timing! Eternal message! Thank you! ❤️
Our church is making a purposeful effort to memorize Scripture. Currently we are memorizing Psalm 91.
God's Word is powerful! That is why I love reading your posts EVERY day, Janice!
I enjoy reading C&C (Jeff's calling which he does with excellence!) and then seeing your posts in the comment section - God's powerful and timeless Word!
You bless me! 🙏🏽🇺🇸❤️
I memorized Psalm 91 years ago when I was nearly electrocuted! It was only by a series of “coincidences” that I survived. I had climbed high on a dead pine tree to cut the top off so as to avoid a 12,000 volt power line. Then I would be able to safely cut the entire tree down. (I was doing this as a favor for my neighbor.)
But instead of safely removing the top of the tree, a gust of wind caused it to lay across the power lines. What ensued was pure chaos - huge sparks, buzzing in my ears, fire , and the nearby transformer blowing up!
What I learned:
The only difference between coincidence and Providence is ignorance.
Well Rick, God certainly had other plans for you! All thanks be to God for His mercy.
Also, there are no coincidences…
My mom always said, “If it’s odd, it’s God.”
Reminds me of my former hub bringing down the overhead line to our house in a diy tree trimming. I can still see that wire sparking…😱
Amen, Janice! I have been praying much for the salvation of President Trump, and his wife and family. I especially pray for Jared and Ivanka Kushner, that the Lord would open their eyes and reveal that Jesus Christ, the true Messiah, has already come and they would turn to Him and live!
I loved all of the references to God in Trump’s speech at the Knesset!
Thank you for always finding the perfect verses! I am grateful!
The Gospel in a nutshell! Thanks Janice!
Psalm 80:19 Restore us ,O LORD, God of Hosts! Let your face shine, that we may be saved. This is my women’s Bible study memory verse for this week. God has perfect timing and I pray this for our nation, for Israel , for Gaza and the world. Most of all for those twenty souls that were released yesterday, may God restore them as only He can.
President Trump has already expressed his belief and faith in Jesus Christ. “What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him? If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, and one of you says to them, ‘Go in peace, be warmed and filled,’ without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that? So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead. But someone will say, ‘You have faith and I have works.’ Show me your faith apart from your works, and I will show you my faith by my works…” James 2:14-26.
“No one born of God makes a practice of sinning, for God's seed abides in him; and he cannot keep on sinning, because he has been born of God. By this it is evident who are the CHILDREN OF GOD, and who are the CHILDREN OF THE DEVIL: whoever does not PRACTICE righteousness is not of God, nor is the one who does not love his brother.” 1 John 3:9-10
I am disturbed by this recent comment from him:
https://notthebee.com/article/president-trump-spoke-again-about-christianity-and-heaven-in-a-candid-conversation-on-his-way-to-israel-and-itll-break-your-heart?from_social=twitter
I think he finds it awkward to be questioned about his salvation; his response was basically "I'm not good enough for heaven" which is essentially humility. Prayer for his salvation (and that of all our leaders) is always a good thing.
And sometimes Trump is also not particularly eloquent in his off the cuff remarks so it’s not always clear what his real meaning is. But God knows his heart!
“This Holy Week, Melania and I join in prayer with Christians celebrating the crucifixion and resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ—the living Son of God who conquered death, freed us from sin, and unlocked the gates of Heaven for all of humanity.” https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/2025/04/presidential-message-on-holy-week-2025/
That disturbed me too Janice. 1John 5:13 as you quoted says we can know! Praying he will come to that full knowledge ,
1 Timothy 2:3-6 NASB95 — This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself as a ransom for all, the testimony given at the proper time.

1 John 5:13 was the verse I gave on X to him and any reading …. so that you may KNOW that you have eternal life. Not so that you can HOPE to have it
Amen 🙏
President Trump needs someone to tell him that he’s done a lot more good than the thief on the cross next to Jesus that Jesus promised paradise.
But help him understand that salvation is not based on works. It is by grace alone.
I hope you sent this to Him.
I figure he reads Jeff. 😏👏🏻
Just to be safe, find a way to send it directly to him
Thank you Janice. As always. 💞
The Scott Adams story brought me to tears. I'm so glad he was "all in" back then, and has made it to this point in America where he can celebrate. He, and we, ARE on the right side of history.
Agree Dave, and the clip stirred memories of Rush, who was "all in" way back then "on the right side of history" and truth!
Rush would be so proud. We do miss him.
I also miss Rush so much! My favorite memories of his broadcast are hearing him profess faith in the Lord Jesus Christ over the airwaves, for all the world to hear! I look forward to meeting him in glory.
He said he risked his health to stay behind Trump. In the spring he announced he had very aggressive stage four prostate cancer the day after Biden made the same announcement, and that he expected to pass from this world sometime this past summer.
We know he was fully jabbed (so in that sense he was always 💯 Trump, even when he was wrong). His large influence no doubt caused others to do the same 💉💉💉(even though he said he never recommended it since he’s not a doctor).
Now he’s miraculously cured. Good for him. May he have many more years.
His cancer is gone? Going back to watch the clip now…
His cancer isn’t gone, but he has found some treatments that are more effective. He is going on Pluvicto soon as well. Hopefully it will be beneficial. I wish he had been diagnosed before it metastasized, but this is the best option now.
Nope he started ADT. His has metastasized to the bones. The ADT shrunk them and alleviated his pain. More in this interview with Zuby.
https://youtu.be/jdMkqWASCFI?si=LRPck5Tezvwp9r1t
I started crying when he did and I couldn’t stop. At one point he was trying to hold it in so much that his entire neck became red and you can see a blip in the video where he stopped, no doubt to take a break and collect himself, but his neck was still red upon returning so he didn’t break long. I lost it. I felt everything he was feeling. That’s a GREAT communicator.
Yea I need to go buy some Dilbert stuff
My husband has the same response,
I have been ALL IN since 2015. Then I personally was all out with 90% of my personal family, friends, co-workers and acquaintances since. Well, maybe just 50% until China virus in 2020 then it went 90%. 😉
Here is his interview with Zuby a few days ago.
https://youtu.be/jdMkqWASCFI?si=LRPck5Tezvwp9r1t
When I was in the Army in the early 1980s there was a height and weight *requirement* to be in the military. Being young and healthy, it was possible to eat 2 big macs, a large order of FF, a Filet-O-Fish, AND a quarter pounder with cheese in one sitting (I don't eat *any* fast food now, and do NOT recommend it... the food is different than it used to be in the 1980s... sorry, that's a fact) and not gain weight from fat because we were required to run 4 miles (2 was the standard, but our post commander upped the standard) and do 40 pushups and 40 sit-ups minimum. PT was every single day. I never saw any soldier who was overweight in 4 years. I am embarrassed by pictures like the one here. Good grief!
These are national guard troops. Guys that do things like operate power plants and such. Granted,they too should be held to a high standard, but expecting 30 to. 50 year old men to volunteer their lives, and remain in peak form, whilst having the family commitments they probably have, and doing it for nothing, is a little much. If I wasn’t caring for my bride, and seventy years old, I’d be with them. I’m surprised no one else defended them.
(Air) National Guard here, I see your point in the lifestyle and professional differences from active duty troops. But the Guard is an all volunteer organization. Those guys made a conscientious decision to serve and did not maintain standards.
It’s one thing to be 10 lbs extra because you have a civilian career occupying most of your time. Those troops were easily +30 lbs from the maximum limit and it wasn’t muscle.
Both of you made really good points with these two comments. I’m glad you each took the time to share your points of view here. I forgot that National Guard doesn’t have the advantage of actually living 24/7 on a base immersed with the supports that make it easier to remain fit, and they do have extra challenges and stressors because of that. But I also agree that they need to maintain a character that devotes to physical self discipline if they are going to be fully effective in their volunteer roles, or step aside.
Agree. It’s nice to see these kinds of exchanges here again!
True. But that lacks of compliance has been tolerated, if not encouraged, for many years now.
To be fair, our food system is such crap that it's actually difficult for many people to lose and maintain weight. The knowledge needed to do so is not widespread.
What do you mean for nothing??They are paid and have benefits.
A stipend isn’t paid. Please. They’re pretty much volunteers.
I’m a Texan. I defended them. I just haven’t had time to be on Substack until this evening. Just posted. I watched Abbott post them to the Border time and again where they had to deal with Biden’s gang cutting apart (literally) the border defenses the Texas Guard set up. They had to defend the border when their own national government was tearing their efforts. GO TEXAS !
I was in, in the early 70’s. We had to weight in every week. I was always in trouble because a woman wasn’t supposed to be muscular, so it took me out of the women’s weight range.
Yes, PT every day plus marching. I was always in Drill Sergeant so it was different. Plus the food was horrific.
The food was different. The potatoes were cooked in animal fat.
Probably a lot fewer added chemicals, too.
And they were real potatoes without flour all over them
Thank you for your service!
Man, I remember those days. I would go to Popeyes and get a six piece and two biscuits. Then go across the street and get a quart of stag beer at the store and be in heaven. All for less than $6 in 1980 when I was in college.
you touched on something I think a shocking number of people still dont realize. The fast food of the 60s to around the mid 80s is different than now. McDs, for example, adds significant amounts more refined sugar to their burger patties than they did 40 years ago. Shakes are made with different ingredients, fries cooked in seed oils, more filler in McNuggets, etc etc. That applies to many fast food places.
When I first started college in the fall of 1967, for lunch I would often buy a MacDonalds cheeseburger (19 cents) and a small fries (23 cents). That cheeseburger was more or less the size of that tiny junior one you see now (don't know what they call it). There weren't any of the bigger burgers at all then, just a hamburger and a cheese burger. The fries were quite small. A coke was probably 10 ounces. AND....you just didn't see morbidly obese people then.
“And to think, President Trump —a lowly garbage truck rider, a fascist, and a McDonald’s drive-thru worker— finally figured out the formula.”
🤣
His resume is endless. 🙌🏻
Right?? 🤣😆 That part was awesome 😁
Colorado Dem vet-impeacher Congressdude from Aurora, Jason Crow running his mouth about how Trump presided over 70,000 Palestinian deaths, then forced to admit most of that happened under his mostly mentally fit, healthy enough-ish Commander in Chief JR Biden.
Kinda like kids in cages…
Or that, according to Blinken, Trump simply finished what Biden had started. 🙄
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Biden starting anything useful or productive or beneficial to anyone but himself and his cronies??? 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂🙄🙄🙄 Please. Blinken is such a moron 🙄
Well, Blinken had a piece of paper with the header "Peace Plan". The rest of the paper was blank. So DJTfilled that part in.
I heard someone say Harris and Biden's little plan did not include the return of any of the hostages.
Best meme out there yesterday was a photo of Trump in Israel with "Hitler" brings peace to the middle east. That's Trumps karma - throw something negative at him and he turns it into a positive rhyme. Obama's undeserved Nobel Prize and that Jujitsu Trump Karma is playing out in another long line of TAW.
I’m fairly new to this Substack and don’t want to feel dumb but could someone please tell me what TAW means?
Trump Always Wins✊🏼🇺🇸
Thanks Carol😊
Trump Always Wins
Hey, I'll be honest, if Kamchatkamala-Walznutz had done a similar deal i'd be emphasizing 1) the 2,000 released killer-terrorists 2) also noting that nutjob mainstream Dem-Hamas protesters would still be mostly bullying US Jewish college kids and complaining Palestine was sold out to save 20 worthless Jews. I'd also be on her as- over Ukraine and not negotiating with Russia. But SHE WOULD be lauded as the Global Leader of the Year and Peace Prize recipient no matter her level of insobriety. And Jascum Crow would be tooting her horn like the dishonest jackass he is, Thanks for your service Jason, now sit down and shut the F-ck Up.
It’s always good to see these people eat Crow!
Aurora is heavily infested.
Jeff, buddy — the Wolf’s still watching from the ridge. Some of us aren’t ready to worship Trump just yet, but credit where it’s due — your reporting cuts sharper than most out there. You’ve got the humor, the rhythm, and that rare clarity that slices through the noise. The Letitia James breakdown was brutal and brilliant, and your read on the peace deal was tight — fair, even if the Wolf still keeps one eyebrow raised.
You’ve built one of the few news spots left that feels human — a mix of wit, grit, and plain talk that doesn’t drip with corporate perfume. I may not share your full enthusiasm for the orange knight, but I’ll raise a mug to your consistency and courage. Keep calling it like you see it — that’s the path that still smells like freedom.
We don’t worship Trump. We worship the God who put him in the right place at the right time with the right leadership qualities and the balls to get things done.
I and I’m sure many others agree wholeheartedly with your statement.
Israel has never honored a ceasefire. The conflict with Iran isn't over. Yet most here are claiming peace in the middle east.
@JO Respectfully, please try to look at news from the ground i.e. The Israel Guys, Yishai Fleisher, etc. Israel is usually defending herself, and the world states that Israel broke the cease fire; when the truth is Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis, etc either fired rockets or were the aggressor - hence broke the cease fire first.
Israel is not only fighting a physical war, they are fighting a media war and the biggest/longest religious/Spiritual war. God commanded King Saul to conquer the Philistines, David beheaded their champion - Goliath, but Saul never conquered the Philistines of Gaza. And here we are today, some 2975 years later.
The world would not tolerate Israel finishing God's command, to conquer and eliminate evil in Gaza - The Philistines.
So Blessed are the Peacemakers.
Matthew 5:9 AMP
[9] “Blessed [spiritually calm with life-joy in God’s favor] are the makers and maintainers of peace, for they will [express His character and] be called the sons of God. [Heb 12:14]

Shalom Shalom
Amen and AMEN!
Be Well, Be Blessed,

Oh please. Most jews especially in Israel don't follow GOD'S laws nor do they believe in HIM. They claim to be under the Talmud instead of the Leviticus laws GOD handed down. Most who live in Israel originated from the Ukraine region from an Ottoman sect who changed their names to Rothschild. They ARE NOT people of the covenant. That covenant with GOD was originally with Abram and his descendants. Then with Jacob/Israel, a person not a state or country, and his descendants BUT the people of the country Israel did not keep their part of the covenant/contract so it was null and voided.
I respect you for your opinion and narrative. I see differently, a revival, from the people I interact. Shalom Shalom
I believe you are correct Johnny-O... I see an entire nation with its pants on fire. Liar Liar
Please study history. That is not correct. Usually Hamas pokes the bear. They’ve done it for decades. And then Israel blamed for their response. Where has all the Palestinian aid gone over the years? It’s their choice not to improve their lot.
These are the dual reasons people that were deeply troubled by the genocide aren't celebrating. There are years of evidence indicating that this event is merely a ceasefire.
Well said.
None of us worship Trump. We appreciate him. That’s completely different.
I’m strongly with you on your comment
I feel for Scott adams. My husband and I opted out of the covid scam early although I was a little late for the Trump train - had TDS through his first term but have made a full recovery. We also lost friends and family, although not jobs, because of our failure to comply. At the time I didn't know that friends of 40 years would turn on me because of vaccine status and political views but even knowing what I know now I would still make those decisions.
Welcome to the club. I didn't have TDS; I was ambiguous towards him, but voted for him because I knew Hillary was bad news. I've been unsure about Trump as he seemed to be cozying up to the idea of digital currency, Real ID, mRNA. Then a few years ago, I realized he is part of taking down a global drug, weapons, child Trafficking, sex slave operation and they are using 5G warefare. I'm all in now.
My best friend for about 40 years, treats me with indifference most of the time. What has really been hard is her oldest son, who I took care of for many years, hasn’t spoken to me in eight years. Our youngest son and his family are still very much a part of my life, but it is just not quite the same. Regardless, we have to stand for truth.
@Judith Praying for you. My best friend from college and my best man at my HETEROSEXUAL wedding turned after 42 years! Sad. Fortunately, slowly starting to find common ground on social media. 🙏
Question: Do you think the jury will convict? Remember, the jury rules regardless of what the law or the judge says. We have the final word. ............................................................

Dad Charged With Killing Daughter’s Alleged Rapist Runs for Sheriff
Police arrested Arkansas man Aaron Spencer last year after he shot a man preying on his 14-year-old daughter. He opened fire on 67-year-old Michael Fosler after discovering him alone in a car with his missing child. Fosler died.
Now awaiting trial, Spencer is saying the legal system “failed” him by charging him with murder and is running to become his county’s next sheriff. He launched his campaign on Saturday.
“I’m the father who acted to protect his daughter when the system failed,” he said in his announcement video. “This campaign isn’t about me; it’s about every parent, every neighbor, every family who deserves to feel safe in their homes and in their community,” he continued.
Spencer’s trial is set to begin in January.

This is a result of dereliction of duty - vigilante justice. Daniel Penny kills a man, saves many in the process. The laws need to change…
I think it was shown that Penny did _not_ actually kill the man - he was still breathing when the police showed up but nobody wanted to do the necessary rescue techniques or something. But yes - there needs to be some exception for "actually doing the job LEO should have been doing (or judges)".
Yup
I think we're going to see more and more vigilantism until something truly changes with the justice system. I have a family member in law enforcement, and he says it's not just the cops not doing anything, it's a whole trail of prosecuters who are making deals, judges who want to avoid going to trial (because trials are expensive, time-consuming, etc), and also social-justice corrupted judges that make lousy judgments. Not to mention the whole concept of innocent-until-proven guilty makes things complicated. Remember, they all need evidence to press charges. Even if everyone in a community knows that someone is a drug dealer or a bad guy, including the cops, they can't arrest or charge him just because we all know "he's a bad guy". They actually need an evidence trail that will stand up to scrutiny on paper. All of this adds up to a situation in which the victim often goes without justice.
The main things: Get rid of judges with woke or diversity leanings (Justice should always be blind), and reduce the number of plea bargains and people let out on probation. Nobody who does violent crime should be released on probation. Also, bring back work requirements, picking up trash, deputy on horseback with shotgun. Make doing time such a literal pain that no one wants to do it.
On a side note, I actually appreciate the "pedo-trapping" vigilante stuff that is going on, where some dude poses as a minor online and then beats the crap out of the pedophile when he shows up to the meet. The pedo is only getting what he deserves.
MissyCoyote, I read a book, big thick book, about 20 years ago about that very subject: vigilantyism. It was called "Unintended Consequences" and was a fictional story of the development of gun culture in the U.S. When the Govmnt started illegally persecuting gun owners, they took the law into their own hands. Nefarious people started dying and nobody could do any thing about it.
Will we get there?
Keep the second amendment.
Good job, Aaron Spencer. I hope you win sheriff and I hope the jury acquits you. That would be justice.
He's got my vote!!
This reminds me of the dad who shot his friend, a pedo DA or judge (can’t remember), when he found his daughter’s number in the pedo’s contacts. The guy ran a brothel through his office.
How did the system fail? Based on the info here it seems if there was any failure it would be the father's. I assume there is much more to the story.
In today's legal environment with Marxist judges and liberal-washed juries, justice goes wanting. Point is, most people and most juries don't understand that they are the final arbiter of justice with the power to totally ignore any instruction from the judge and to disregard any law they deem unjust. They are the final gatekeepers of justice and liberty. But most people don't know the power they have as a jury.

LOL!
Somehow they will find a way 🤣

I’ve recently started listening to Scott Adam’s daily podcast after taking a few years off. I love listening to him talk about Trump and Scott laughs out loud at how Trump manipulates and trolls his political enemies. It’s such a pleasure to hear someone laugh, we don’t laugh enough anymore. I tune in just to listen to him laugh. It’s also very poignant to listen to Scott describe his health journey. He doesn’t talk too much about his health, sometimes alluding to a treatment that seems to be working or a treatment that has stopped working. He’s very intelligent and worth listening to. Tune in to hear him laugh- it’ll brighten your day.
I believe it was Norman Cousins back in the '70s coined the term, "Laughter is the Best Medicine"
Norman didn't coin the term--it's been around for a very long time (Proverbs says "A merry heart doeth good like a medicine")--but he did write a book about the power of laughter in the midst of illness, called Anatomy of an Illness: As Perceived by the Patient. It was one of the first popular take-charge-of-your-own-health books back in 2005, in which he explained how he had to take his crippling affliction, ankylosing spondylitis, into his own hands and work with his accommodating doctor to forge a treatment. He found that a solid period of laughter after watching movies that really made him guffaw gave him hours of relief from pain. "Laughter truly IS the best medicine," he said. This book had a tremendous effect on me, such that I even remember the name of his malady!
Prostate cancer’s no fun, believe me…
Praying 🙏 Wisdom for Health; Faith in JESUS for Healing! Shalom Shalom Amen and AMEN!
He just did a podcast with Zuby and talked about his health. Worth a listen.
Love all this, Jeff!
I’m just dying to hear your take on whether our great president took the stupid flu jab and the “stupider” covid jab.
I have ONE theory of how it could actually be a 5D chess move, but I’m still waiting for your take.
I too think it's a 5D chess move, but because I can't play 1D chess, I can't figure it all out. LOL What I've learned is that everything Trump does is intentional and designed to confound the Enemy.
Fantasy:
Read in DJT’s voice: “The memo was a mistake. A YUGE mistake. I’ll never get another shot of any kind, much less the covid shot. Fauci, that evil cockroach… He’s an evil cockroach. He lied. The evil cockroach lied. People died on account of his lies. The entire vaccine industry is a house of cards. Bobby’s about to torch the house of cards, with that evil cockroach, Fauci, inside.”
Nor can I. I’m a words girl. Forgot to get into the numbers line when God was assembling brains. I do well to win at tic tac toe a respectable number of times.
I was wondering about that as well. Another head shaker
I felt it was done just to take an arrow out of their quiver. It’s another thing that the opposition can’t point a finger at…
Dave on X22 talked about that. He thinks the “vaccine” might have been something like hydroxychloroquine.
I’d hope so but since nobody knows, the fact that they said it WAS the flu AND covid may cause some people on the fence to line up for another one. That bothers me.
I hope RFK smacked him
upside the head with a 6-pack of diet coke, either way. I really
do.
Juat when I thought he was starting to get it…
Either a 5D chess move or they are laughing in your face. Hmmmmm
Did he ever post that on TS, or was it just in the “doctor” report?
I don’t have TS but I saw it on Karoline Leavitt’s page and someplace else that seemed pretty legit.
He likes vaccines! He tells us every day! Why can’t people just accept it?
You must’ve missed it when he recently told the world that he was beginning to think he was duped, lied to, and perhaps Operation Warp Speed wasn’t the miracle he was told that it was.
He questioned the shots. This was days before he announced the POSSIBLE connection to Tylenol and autism, when he also told parents to space out the DTaP if
possible.
I seen it. He says and does inconsistent things all of the time.
Oooo! Have you seen the Del Bigtree movie yet? A buried study comparing vaccinated and unvaccinated children has finally come to light—and the results are shattering the vaccine narrative.
Featured in Del Bigtree’s new film An Inconvenient Study, this long-suppressed data reveals what public health agencies have refused to examine for decades: vaccinated children suffer dramatically higher rates of chronic illness.

Thank you!
Read up on that fat pig, and there’s a lot to learn, and it explains a lot.
He's a stoooopid, relentless, piggish nepo baby. And those are his good qualities!
