Seven Democrat midterm headaches Bloomberg buried in plain sight; ActBlue's lawyers all skipped town; WaPo blames phones for empty cribs; NYT thinks the Founders missed a spot; more.
Add the genius of the Spencer Pratt campaign to the list of the Democrats polycrisis. The Pratt campaign provides the blueprint for cutting through the Democrats’s propaganda in an entertaining and impactful way.
His ads are good, but, it's sad that most voters make their decision on who to vote for from ads they have seen, rather than locating a candidate's actual policy recommendations.
Trump ran on closing the border and deporting illegal aliens. Pratt is running on cleaning up the streets of homeless and drug addicts. His ads make that point loud and clear and it's killing the Dems.
And sometimes you have to go with what works for the masses. Yes, sad they don’t pay attention to candidates policies, but in this instance they are clearly seeing what Pratt’s policies are.
But his ads do discuss policy, just not in the traditional way. At first, I, too, was embarrassed that we had been reduced to such nonsense, and then I realized that such nonsense was necessary to break the spell. And we have. I am not hearing any whining that he is attacking Bass because she is female and Black. It is all about the real problem and people seem ready to hear it. And he has followed up with interviews that show him as someone who has planned policies. I was at the LA airport the other day. It was unbelievable chaos. That we think we can host the Olympics is just ludicrous.
Sadly, between the lack of education and people's lack of focus, the 'average' video viewer has an attention span of about 3 minutes and that is if the subject is interesting or entertaining to them. Three minutes - that's all you get to snag & keep their attention. (My husband's firearms channel analytics brought this to our attention. He worked hard to get his videos down to close to 3 minute reviews after that, though some remained longer due to the importance of the subject.) You have to get their attention, make it amusing enough for them to recall & subscribe and set your points into stone in that time.
Spencer Pratt is taking advantage of the curiosity of the press, by using new tactics (such as power washing his flyer info into sidewalks using a stencil) to get them talking about it. This also points out the filth he is talking about cleaning up. His little cartoon videos are shareworthy and funny so they get shared. The more the press covers these unusual tactics, the more FREE advertising he gets. LOL! It is a solid plan and hopefully showcases the out of the box thinking he might employ to get jobs done.
I am no better. I realized that it takes me months to get through a book. i can't believe decades ago I snuck novels in under textbooks to read in class. I am completely dumbed down. I do appreciate the long podcasts. For some reason, I can listen to 90 minutes of philosophy. I just wish I could read 90 minutes of philosophy.
Sadly most people receive education about world events and candidates via osmosis of snippets that rise above everyday items … coworkers talking about a local or national tragedy is how they learn about what is in the zeitgeist, word of mouth is still possibly most influential source of info but 30 second ads must be a close second and ads like Spencer Pratts must score very very high on that list. Brilliant stuff … I think he is not yet in the lead but moving up significantly… I think he will get it in the end … the democrats machine looks like a very old dinosaur compared to those snappy AI ads set to pop favorites. The cost of production must be near zero … bold and affective!
I agree 100% Mary Ann. No ads, just campaign. Politicians in the past would hop on trains and speak from the caboose in the towns. We now have all types of media to hear directly what their views are without leaving your armchair. Also have REAL debates, and lots of them, not scripted shows which is what "debates" are currently. Have citizens ask the questions.
The problem with getting a debate is that after Pratt humiliated his opponents in the first one with plain, everyday speech, they dropped out and refused to do the next. 🤣 Pratt would gladly debate any of them any where, any time. But they are hiding in Biden’s basement. (Oxymoron…I think I’ll start to refer to our basement as the biden)
It's called "Marketing", but I digress... it's my opinion that most voters make their choice based on a candidate's political affiliation... to actually pay attention to a candidate's policy recommendations would be too much work for the average voter.
Ugh you are so black pilled Bard. I agree the past few decades produced a morphed uniparty that trudged forward in lockstep to achieve the mighty objective of BUSINESS AS USUAL. They all got rich together but now you see the sledgehammer has been thrown and the wrecking balls are swinging through the halls of politics. It is GLORIOUS. Change is afoot. A uniparty cannot act against itself like this. I see there are darker interpretations like a set up or consolidation or my black pill favorite … we are living in a simulation. But I am not a defeatist or a pessimist… I am an optimist and I choose to interpret the face value of what I am observing until there is compelling evidence to du otherwise.
Uni-party with Factions then. Dem Party having a Dem-Socialist surge, similar to their Hamas-supporters in 2024. Colorado "dark money" billionaire Phil Anschutz owns Coachella, gives to LGBTs, his son-in-law Mike Bennet now running for governor and getting Bloomberg bucks, was helped made Senator by his pop-in-law, yet Dem dark $$$ media and billionaires back to bitching about him attacking democracy with Citizen Initiatives that must be stopped.
Well, turnaround is fair play! Spencer knows that the LA Elite don't want their homes burnt down. Fire is good to the Climate Clinging Elites of California when it happens in the Central Sierra (2020, 23,24,25) where the work-a-day people have their homes, but it is bad when it threatens the Elite's vacation home in Tahoe (2025) and their mansion on the California Riviera (2025)!
That’s if you leave the odds up to secular mathematics. I claimed second Chronicles 20 before the election in 2024 and by the time it happened I knew Trump was going to win because it was God‘s plan.
I’m doing the same in terms of Pratt’s election.
He said his political model is Jesus Christ. God knows he’s got a man here who will give him glory so of course God will give him victory.
I don't know about that J, People all over the country have been talking about how they plan to visit CA just long enough to cast a vote for Spencer, since no voter ID is required. James Wood hilariously pointed this out on an X post. Entertaining as all get out!! They are freaking out over it now. LOL!!!
From what I’ve read polymarket is totally manipulated by big money using algorithms to control the outcome. A very small percentage of the players win all the money.
I wish Republicans would run this type of ad, mocking the stupidity and cupidity of Democrats, every single year, the year around. People who won't read, anything, may still be awakened by such measures.
Suggestion: Since California doesn't require ID, if you are a conservative in LA for early voting, take a few hours and drop a vote for Pratt and Hilton. It is against California law to ask to see ID to vote
PS - Impeachment has moved into the hall of fame of words with now power anymore like Nazi, racist, and fascist.
Oh they have their donors, like Soros & Neville Singh, but they are only allowed to donate so much per person. That's why they used the ActBlue scam to rig donations repeatedly in elderly people's names. Some elderly person on a fixed income who may have given $5 one time, suddenly has a record of donating 32k every year. I sure hope they put the screws to them and also charge them with identity theft.
Kamala-lala-ding-dong spent over $2 Billon dollars just throwing it away in the few months she was their appointed candidate. And left them $20 million in debt. Funny thing is - every interview she paid for, DJT was then entitled to an interview spot for the same time duration, so he watched her spend, saved his money and still got the interviews he wanted. Free advertising - All her interviews were a boon to him, not only for the $ spent, but every time she opened her mouth, more stupid fell out that he then ridiculed her about.
I remember that ad. Just need to add a little Scott Pressler PERSISTENCE to such campaigns, and never let up. Too bad she stopped once the election was over. And make sure they get seen by the people who will be voting.
I looked her up - she lost big in 2020, but ran in a different district in 2024, where she still lost, but by a smaller margin. She does do a podcast and seems to appear in support of some conservative candidates.
This ad, very like Pratt's ads, didn't work in Baltimore. I'm hopeful that Pratt will have more success, but I wouldn't be surprised if Bass wins anyway.
Yes, I remember this ad even though I don't live anywhere near there! Sad. Although I think the zeitgeist is changing - her ad ran in 2020 when too many people were brainwashed. (and too many still are, but not like back then)
Seems like Baltimore is a lost city, full of black hostages. Unbeatable corrupt political machine, until a decent governor or DOJ can do something to clean it up.
I am in a suburb of Kansas City, which is doing it's best to become much like Baltimore. 50 years of D machine rule, and as conditions continue to deteriorate, the D faithful bail to the suburbs where they vote for the same party and policies that led them to flee in the first place. Our suburb has flipped from solid red to purplish blue in the last decade in local elections. Trump still won (53%) in 2024, but sadly, most conservatives stay home in April (local) elections. Things may be starting to tip as many are now dismayed at the results and antics of a D majority school board and city council.
Same here in CO. I'm in suburb of Denver and it's a sea of blue. Even the side of the red appears to be nothing but RINO. I want to puke every time I see "been there, raked that in" M. Bennett on the TV for govenor.
Get involved with as many like minded people as possible and go door to door, leaving pamphlets or a flyer! Scott Pressler has had tremendous success doing this. Are you able to vote for Rick Brattin? He is a wonderful conservative that with re-districting we won’t be able to vote for him anymore!
That was a great ad, but they're very different situations, I think. She didn't have the same pre-election visibility he did, and the racial-ethnic make-up of the two cities is very different. The Democrat lock on 90+% of black votes doesn't matter in LA, where black voters have largely been replaced.
I have no idea how much general circulation those ads get. Sure, Pratt supporters share them with other Pratt supporters, but are they getting outside the normie bubble and penetrating the lefty bubble? If not, they probably aren’t going to move the needle on Election Day.
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction so that we will be able to comfort those who are in any affliction with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.
The reason the Executive Branch has gained power is because the Legislative Brach is a total worthless group. The Senate in particular is totally bought and paid for by outside interests
The Senate also thinks of itself as a club with lifetime membership. Prime examples: the recent temper tantrum over Cassidy and Cornyn; the refusal to pass the SAVE America Act; temper tantrum over the $1.776B fund to compensate lawfare victims, etc. etc.
While protesting the compensation fund, Senators are making sure tax oayers give them $500,000 for each line of communication subpoenad during Arctic Frost!
I can fix that. Give this a try. I’m going to go out on a limb here and suggest the “fix” is actually simpler than you might think . How? separate spending from funding. Elected politicians can and should propose spending BUT ONLY citizen taxpayers should APPROVE FUNDING . I.E. distribute decision making across the entire taxpayer population . This will tend to put a hard stop to fraud and waste if given the help of DOGE. Every taxpayer must assign their tax dollars for or NOT for each spending bill proposed. Make a bill obtuse and unintelligible? No problem. Just say “no you can’t use my tax dollars for that.” Bills that taxpayers agree to fund get annual audits and review ie can the government continue to use my tax dollars for this? The result: Budgets then shrink or swell based on performance and the will of THOSE who actually fund the government. If everyone with skin in the game (ie taxpayers) did this, graft and political manipulation would approach zero. Nothing focuses the mind, sharpening the senses more than having one’s own hard work stolen and misused. And nothing would do more to unite Democrats and Republicans than everyone getting the governance they want TO THE EXTENT THEY WERE WILLING TO PAY FOR IT. Note: non-contributing citizens and non-citizens ARE NOT allowed in this assignment. Why? Because they get their say when they vote for or lobby their representatives who propose the spending. But if they aren’t actually paying taxes for government services, then they shouldn’t get to fund the government! This is the step change needed in our constitution! And would do a great deal more to secure our God given rights than all the pontificating party politics or all the social media complaining or all the useless dumb ass protesting.
To implement: All voters registered with copies of their actual birth certificate shown to Fed. Employees(not state), approved as "real", allowed to register on the voting website. If they fail to vote 3 times in a row, they are UN-registered; try again. If they aren't smart enough to use a website and vote on simple items, They should not be voting anyway. DOGE supervised, annually weeded for fraud.
We all must consider thinking out of the box to turn the USA around:
-- your idea, perfect example,
-- with over 3000 counties in the USA, legislation meant for across the country application should be trialed in 5 or 10 random counties and monitored. Only after 1 to 5 years of monitoring should any big Law(Obamacare, the Big Beautiful Bill as examples) go for presidential signature.
-- no emergency bills allowed without extreme voter participation(using your idea)
Arrogance to say what you say. Voting has not based on a website. That is one of the reasons we are where we are. Insulting..since when to you get to judge and decide on who votes or doesn't...if you are a legal citizen of the United States of America , you qualify.
Excuse me..smartness has nothing to do with not wanting to use a web site..that is an individual decision..the internet could be a very good thing but it has been captured and is now if not always a tool of satan.
I like your idea Barbara, but how would such voting work? Would citizens vote on every Bill? How do you protect against the loudest activists with the most time on their hands from running the show?
Maybe require a quorum of 2/3 of all tax paying citizens are needed to approve any spending? Not 2/3 of those voting, 2/3 of all of them! Low turnout? Too bad. Can't get to 2/3 because there are so few things that many of us agree on? Too bad.
So, some details to worry about...but I like it!
Here's my reform idea: have US Senators elected by two groups in each State. Group 1 is the 50% of the population living in the most populous counties (Blue Cities!). Group 2 is everyone else (rural). Overnight, you'd have a 50-50 R-D Senate...if there were no other preferences. But you have all the Red States that would send two conservatives. So, I suspect the Senate would be something like 65-35 conservative to blue hairs.
Yes Greg the mechanics will take an Elon Musk to solve. But we, here in Monroe County Kentucky are going to experiment with a modified version using membership YouTube for deciding Fiscal Court spending. Every voter becomes a member. Every issue gets its own YouTube video. Comments are encouraged live and then open for 7 days afterward. Every voter (who participates) gets a thumbs up or thumbs down vote. It’s a right step in shifting responsibility for OUR tax dollars onto OUR shoulders and encourages intelligent participation. If it works, some more sophisticated version might be adopted nation wide.
I commend you, Barbara, for your out of the box thinking. Perhaps you might consider running in a local election. We need people like you in government.
Love the ideas, I really do. But anything digital can be sabotaged and corrupted quite easily. Those of us who have programmed computers know there really is no security on the internet. Look how easily they can boost X-posts with likes and views using bots.
I love the ideas but there has to be a manual and secure way to cast those votes, truly secure from corruptability.
Juju, every month of every year for over 60 years I have gotten a 100% accurate phone bill with all the numbers I have called and the cost to me per call. If the phone company can deliver that, SOMEONE can deliver an accurate and secure vote on budget proposals.
Yeah but corrupting our phone bills would have been easy if it in any way threatened the power in government. As it is it’s no threats to anyone but our own pocketbook. 😆
But I get what you mean. Yes we have the ability to use tech to accurately tabulate, we just don’t have a way to protect it from sabotage and infiltration. All digital data is capable of being corrupted.
Greg Montana is a red state but I’m not confident that we could send 2 conservatives. We have RINOS running as Republicans and I’m concerned that he might get elected. He did damage in the legislature now he’s running for Senator. I’m praying he does not win.
I have friends in Montana, The Elderly mother is conservative but both the Boomer daughters vote for Democrats. They identify as inclusive and caring, and the elder daughter had lived in many countries. They tend to believe the old rhetoric of what a Republican voter is. Lol
Good idea Barbara, maybe? However the whole purpose of the House is to do just this. Representative government. Your approach would be nearly impossible to implement. An easier approach would be (and one that was utilized at our founding), would be that people who don’t pay taxes, 1/2 the country, do not get representation. Which means that most of the people in the big cities don’t get represented, which means there are even fewer democrat districts. Census would have to be done more frequently, every 4 years, to count people that strive to make more money so they can productive and pay taxes and be represented. Those who don’t want to suck off the government t..t anymore. This way people have skin in the game and those who don’t pay taxes now will understand better the importance of limiting government.
Thank you Tom for even considering it. My two cents. Representative government was a great idea until it stopped being representative and was captured by hardened political parties. Vast numbers of us , regardless of our party affiliation, agree on certain issues that NEITHER party is representing FOR EXAMPLE the Save America Act. I’m going to suggest that collecting this data would be no harder than correctly billing me for my phone calls which happens every month. It just takes WANTING to do it which absolutely NO politician will as it removes their control, their lobbies, their back room corruption, their manipulation, and their fraud.
Agreed. In all of 2025, Congress gave Trump only one bill: the Big Beautiful Bill. The Senate has refused to let Trump make any recess appointments by staying in session even when they are away on their holidays.
“Total publicly identifiable provisions struck or forced into revision across both Trump terms: more than 75. Total fiscal value of struck provisions on Medicaid alone: more than $500 billion. Total times the Republican Senate majority has overruled the Parlamentarian: one. Total times the Republican Senate Majority Leader has fired her, in the 14 years she has been gutting Republican legislation: zero.
I've often wondered if we shouldn't repeal the 17th and return the states to having a voice in Congress. Because it was ratified during the Progressive Era (the founding era of Government by Experts, I'm not sure the 17th was a good idea. After all, it's far easier to shape the opinions (by which I mean propagandize) of the public than it might be to propagandize the views of state governments.
Mary Ann, the 17th absolutely wasn't a good idea, and not were the other "gifts" left us by the regressive "Progressives:"
the 16th (income tax), 17th, 18th (Prohibition), 19th (women voting, and yes, I said that), the Firearms Control Act of 1934, and the statutory cap on the number of Representatives.
I used to disagree, but now looking back at my own voting record prior to having children, and it was emotionally influenced by the Feminist movement in magazines, Hollywood and University! I voted for Feinstein (not a big regret), and Barbara Boxer for CA, Senate, during the "Year of the Woman" campaign. Boxer, like Pelosi were carpet baggers from the East Coast and anointed by the Machine. At least Feinstein was local and rose through the SF route and was level headed during the Aides Epidemic.
Once I married and had children, I saw the brainwashing and ego centered lifestyle of Feminism as an arm of the Nanny State and death culture. I make far better decisions when I have something of value, children and property, to protect and to lose.
I think we need to return to the original idea that property owners have the right to vote. This way, the people who have the direct responsibility for funding the Schools and services, pay the larger share of the taxes, have the say in how tax dollars are spent and who represents them!
Sorry but just because you and others voted “the wrong way” shouldn’t negate mine and others’ right to vote. I have voted conservative all of my life, as have pretty much all of the women in my family. If we are all considered citizens then we should have the rights of citizens. I am not sure why someone like Joe Biden or Alex Pretti should have the right to vote but I wouldn’t. With the only difference being that they have male reproductive equipment and I don’t. And you could extend that to other groups too—a certain ethnic or racial group doesn’t vote the way you’d like them to? Take away their right to vote! It’s a slippery slope. Instead (and I would argue that this has been happening), we need to do a better job persuading women and other groups that our values and platforms and ideas are better.
Also it’s not like we had fewer problems when only men voted. There was a ton of corruption and there were poor decisions made then, too.
So are Representatives, because of the regressive "Progressive" statutory limit on the number of Representatives, contra the design in the Constitution. With each House district having 750,000 people instead of the constitutional minimum of 30,000 (and intended maximum of 50,000), campaigns are so expensive that power resides with the big donors, consultants, etc. It's a similar problem in the Senate, due to the 17th Amendment, forcing expensive statewide campaigns.
Add in that Congress really doesn't want to take accountability for much. They've delegated their authority to the judiciary and executive branches for many years now. Where we _should_ have checks and balances, we've lost a lot of that.
Americans are not buying what the democrats are selling. Their soft nudging, trying to coerce their Marxist agenda has turned into hard in your face leftist tyranny and people have caught on to their obvious insanity. With candidates like Graham Platner, you know the guy with a Nazi SS tattoo on his chest, a self proclaimed Nazi Communist, or Texas House candidate Maureen Galindo you can see how frightening the democrats party has become. I realize Platner would be the perfect commandant for Galinda’s concentration camp but unfortunately for these two, evan with the endorsement of Bernie Sanders and Chuck Schumer, both of Jewish decent, Americans are just not into Hitlerism no matter how much they project their totalitarian Naziism onto Trump. The democrat party and the democrat leaders are just plain sick in the head. All of this as America has to suffer through another crazy leftist, democrat pushed assassination attempt on the president of the United States. J.Goodrich
Although Americans have to be careful not to go to the opposite extreme, which ends up being just as bad.
Speaking here of parlor tricks and control strategies, there is a controller game of DIVIDE AND CONQUER. In which the controllers surreptitiously promote two opposing extremes in a given society, and then let them tear one another apart. That way, the two opposing groups do the destroying of society themselves. While the controllers sit back and smirk.
I think of the American Civil War here. Or warfare between major clans in the 17th century Highlands of Scotland. Or the Catholic/Protestant wars in Northern Ireland, My bet is that none of these warfare mind-sets were organic....but promoted (by the same men behind the curtain, pulling the lever).
I will specifically point out the modern warfare of the WOKE-folk/Democrats against the Fundamentalist Trump supporters. They could easily destroy one another, and society with it.
After a few months of reading this Substack intermittently, I would say that the religious fundamentalists are very proud because they believe they are the good guys, standing up against the bad guys.
The WOKE-folk have the same belief.
Seems to me like just another DIVIDE and CONQUER scheme -- where the powers-that-be first established the extremist leftwing WOKE group, and then (of course!) they grew the far rightwing religious fundamentalist group. So these opposing groups could destroy one another. Saves the powers-that-be the trouble of doing it themselves.
So WHAT is the most beneficial path? That would be moving to the middle-ground and living there without either version of extremism. Called Homeostasis, or the Middle Way, or the Golden Mean.
Contrary to popular opinion, going further and further into one ideology or set of beliefs simply makes you fall off the cliff eventually. It does not prove that you are BETTER due to your extremism.
The biggest human challenge is not to be extreme, but to be balanced.
So I am afraid that neither the WOKE-folk nor the religious fundamentalists are making the grade here. They are both doing it wrong. Although they are both convinced they are doing it right. And furthermore, they think that the greater they live an extreme, the better they will show the world they are!
That is the delusion on both extreme sides. Which is precisely what the controllers planned. It plays right into their hands.
I can see this playing out, especially with the assassination of Kirk. I also saw this in the Covid Plandemic, though the Right did not take the Black Lives Matter bait and take up marching and Arms. The narrative the MSM used to discibe the young men defending businesses was a giant tell, as was the way the Congress and Media worked together to convince the general public that Trump was a dictator and would not leave D.C. Lol, The number of people who bought that trick was astonishing!
WHO, exactly, established Christian religious fundamentalism? WHAT is the history of that idea?? Or is it simply that your parents raised you as a fundamentalist, and you never really gave much thought to where this movement originated -- apart from the fact that a lot of people thump the Bible and claim that their own interpretation is the CORRECT one?
And so the herds form, under various power-grabbers. And I think the biggest power-grabbers of them all are probably the ones who arranged the whole WOKE/Fundamentalist set-up.
Sorry for shaking up your Substack underpinnings, Jeff, but it had to be done.
I agree! But the damn GOPe is SO wishy-washy that I doubt the current crowd would elect a majority leader like Dave McCormick of PA or Ashley Moody of FL. Or godforbid, the BEST one would be Mike Lee of UT. All the rest are DEEPLY SUSPECT. 😡
Quigley! Haven’t heard that name in forever! Thank you for the reminder! I just talked about the Anglo American establishment yesterday as well trying that to Memorial day and the propaganda that has ensured over society: https://unorthodoxy.substack.com/p/short-thoughts-may-25-memorial-day
The two important Carroll Quigley books are due for a re-read right about now: "The Anglo American Establishment" (1949) and "Tragedy and Hope" (1966).
There are claims that Quigley was documenting and describing the 2000-year-old British Network (of Globalists). And the games they play. Though the author was one of them himself.
Another marker -- former Deputy PM of Canada, Chrystia Freeland, has become the new CEO of the Rhodes Trust in England (while she also works for Zelensky of the Ukraine). The Rhodes Trust of Cecil Rhodes, South African diamond magnate, who established the system of Rhodes Scholars to infiltrate Anglosphere institutions on behalf of the British Network.
The importation and resettlement of tens of millions within "Anglo-Protestant" societies achieves their elitist aims far more than some culturally-racially stratified, Apartheid colonial system that was an interim policy i suppose (?).
Freeland's appointment to the Rhodes Trust was public news. And by learning about the history of the British Network, it becomes clear why that post is important to them. Freeland herself makes no secret of being a Globalist. She would not have gone from Deputy PM of Canada down to running an insignificant NGO. The point here being that the Rhodes Trust is not insignificant.
With traitors like Thune (who prefer to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory) thwarting the SAVE Act, there is probably still lots of opportunity for cheating & fraud in the midterms.
On a positive note, people from all over the country say (tongue in cheek) they plan to show up in LA to vote for Pratt, saying, “what are they gonna do, ask for ID?” 😂
One thing I notice is than republicans tend to vote out our radicals and are starting to do a better job of ousting those that are ‘retired in place’ that aren’t moving the party’s agenda forward (like Cornyn… if you’re in TX go vote today!)
The Democrats, however, seem to be terrified of their party radicals and kowtow to them. The normie libs have now seen it and are refusing to support the party financially, even if they agree with the platform. It’s an interesting thing to watch.
I went this morning and voted for Paxton, Bo French, Mayes Middleton, and Tom Smith. I want the Bush era ended. My only concern is open primaries here in TX allow Democrats to vote GOP ticket. Our state legislature is responsible for this, as it’s ran by a RINO who lets Dems control even tho in the minority.
I used to love CA when it was still sane in the 1960s-1970s & even attended college in San Diego for a period. But as many beautiful places as there still are, I refuse to spend a dime in CA & haven’t been there in years.
It’s really surreal. We live near Chicago. In 2022 our oldest son went missing and was found 2000 miles away in Santa Monica, CA … living in his socks on the street. (He had a mental breakdown with schizophrenia…) He was shot at twice. One time the bullet literally bounced off of him and it was a real bullet, not one of those rubber bullets. Nobody can tell me our prayers don’t work and Angels aren’t intervening on our behalf. Angels surrounded my son while out there until we could find him.
The three weeks I spent desperately looking for him shocked me by what I witnessed. The last time I had been in CA was first in 1984, Huntington Beach and Venice Beach both, then again in 1988 LA and San Fran. Beautiful. Fun. Energetic. Clean. Bright. Sunny. The difference between then and 2022 was unreal, and believe me Venice Beach had its crazies in the 80s too, but it still was clean and somewhat normal. But this was different. I came back and reported how every block between Venice Beach and LA was littered with homeless make-shift shelters and tents. They used anything and everything to create a roof and walls. Everyone was drugged up and crawling around. Homeless didn’t want your money, they wanted a free hit off you. They took tents, clothes, and blankets that I offered, but tossed aside any food. Food was rotting on the ground everywhere. I got pictures of it all. It was really hard for people to believe me when I came back and tried to explain what it was like out there, who I met on the street, how the police function and interact with family members like me, what charitable services try to help and how. Here we are in 2026 and now everyone knows I was not exaggerating one bit. I thank God profusely every day my son is now safe and didn’t spend another week in that hellhole.
Bless you for telling the people of Chicago what is coming there way! I am so pleased that you were able to find and retrieve your son. Today it might be impossible with all the government activist and paid warriors working to keep these poor drug addled souls on the streets and stoned out of their minds!
I personally advocate to turn old military bases into Health and wellness treatment centers with Skills building, like trades, money management strategies and Nutrition and cooking classes! These people, if Citizens of the USA, should be uplifted and saved by Government policy and tax dollars, then returned into society with honest, marketable skills and a clean mind and body!
I get tears watching this beautiful video of Roy Orbison’s “California Blue.” America is capable of so much that is good. Right now I can’t decide whether we’re entering a fourth turning into a golden age of America, or the denouement to the end times.
Jeff failed to call out (as did the MSM) the true cause of the 1st world global fertility crisis. It isn’t smartphones, although that device does deliver anxiety about the future which makes some less inclined to bring new babies into the world. But the #1 cause is the skyrocketing price of house and childcare, which fuels a feeling of economic insecurity. We all are now starting to experience the benefits of the Big Beautiful Bill. To reverse fertility trends, we will eventually need a Big Beautiful Cut in spending and debt to GDP % ratio. Kids not being able to afford homes now until they are 40 is a rot and crumbling of our foundation. And too many on the Right are afraid to openly talk about this, and how to remedy it, because the ‘win’ takes time. And our attention spans are small. This is why I think the next big crisis will be Occupy Wall Street 2.0. It will unite younger generations vs. older generations and cross traditional party lines.
People need to have faith that God will make it work.
I got married in 1973. Everyone was talking about how expensive everything was. We were supposed to run out of oil by 1990.
We had 3 babies before we owned a home. We rented an old farm house in the country and were happy. We lived frugally, saved money and built a 4 bedroom, 3 and a half bath house. Not fancy, but got the job done.
I wouldn’t trade the treasure of my big fun family for anything.
There’s never a good time to marry, have children, build a house.
If one waits for the good time to do those things, one will miss the opportunities God provides as the needs arise.
One has to step out in faith and let God do what he does.
I'm with you! While it is a complicated issue, it seems to me that far too many folk are drinking the "you need all these things!" Cool aid, and having blown their budgets on all that and have (they think because they are told) nothing left for housing, so they don't look. That is compounded by the fact that they are sold the bill of goods that they must have a new house with 21st century bling in a prime neighborhood. You can find good serviceable houses most anywhere (except perhaps blue cities). They won't be big, won't have fancy appliances, pool, maybe no garage no paved drive, no sidewalk. Might be on a well and septic. Might be fixer uppers. But you pay a fraction, and you have a house! Place to start on the "rest of life"! We've had 2 houses in last 50 yrs. Both serviceable, liveable, but improved over the years to comfortable. But my dad taught me "if you want something, save and buy it, or make it yourself." So I did both.
I tend to agree with you, as I place my daily trust in our Lord. I am pointing out a very recent uptick in the age of 1st time home buyers. In the 50's and 60's, average age to buy 1st home was 'late 20's'. In 1970's and all the way up until 2022, the average 1st time home buyer was 'early to mid 30's'. But 2024 saw average age go to 38, and 2025 it went to 40. This recent 'spike' in age to buy is what I'm highlighting.
Yes, helicopter parenting has stunted some from taking flight earlier. I was a free range kid growing up in 70’s/80’s and left home for military then college at early age.
We should also not ignore the elephant in the room; abortion. For an infertile world, there sure have been a lot of them. Babies terminated in the womb by the hundreds of millions are certainly going to have a negative impact on birthrates.
It would appear that there are plenty of conceptions; but a dearth of follow throughs.
There were no smart phones in the late 80's when I was working with low income preschoolers' and was beginning to rethink wanting children. Then I chose to change jobs to working with children from Middle Class families and realized that divorce, out of wedlock births, a lack of education, skills/Trade are key choices that lead to lower incomes and poor relationships, etc.
EMF is the main driver for infertility and illness of all kinds, the second would be poisons, like Glyphosates into our foods & water supply; third microplastics.
Since the clot shots were injected into so many, on top of years of CDC mandated vaxxes esp on the young, the fall out is more apparent. Also seems to be the biggest early driver of dementia/Alzheimer's. You can do all the vaccine studies you want, but until all environmental factors are included, there will be no true conclusion showing a forward path to safety and health.
Economic insecurity is a different catalyst. People have been having children they can not afford forever. But, yes, 100% all spending needs to be cut to be LESS than income, with all overage put towards our debt. No matter how many programs & pet projects have to be cut.
There's another "fundraising woe" confronting the Democrats, one not mentioned here. The party's twisted face these days is that of a screaming, ranting lunatic, a fool in denial of both historical and biological reality. Fortunately for the future of our nation, the percentage of the population in alignment with that class of beliefs is small, and arguably is shrinking.
You mean everyone should behave and act in kindness and goodness and maybe say nothing at all if you can't say anything nice? You mean get along in the sandbox?
Seth Keshel thinks there are four keys to Trump winning the Midterms. One is the outcome of the Iran operation. The sooner the resolution the better, and it hinges on the people of Iran taking their country back from within. Here's his assessment from yesterday:
The biggest problem is the people having the necessary weapons to fight back. They don’t. They definitely have the will and the spirit. But without weapons they are sitting ducks, as 40,000 discovered earlier this year. 😞
The sources I read don’t say this outright, frequently reference that the universe of those who know what’s happening on the ground is exceedingly small. And that the ground is being prepared.
When the story is finally told, I will not be surprised to learn that the special ops from supportive countries have been on the ground the entire time, helping the people in ways we don’t imagine.
Not so long ago, Iran International reported an IRGC official was stabbed to death at one of their checkpoints. Given the danger to civilians being on the streets, this was a bold move.
There’s more to the story than meets the eye. I suspect a lot of what we hear and see is misdirection. Prayers up!!!
It is delusional to think that Iranians will "take back" their country in order to hand it over to the country that caused most of their problems in the first place.
From the overthrow of their elected government in 1953, to the US-instigated Iran-Iraq war of the 80s, to the widespread suffering caused by the decades of sanctions, to the vicious attack during negotiations on Feb. 28th, and ongoing.
How delusional do you have to be to look at that history and confidently prescribe to the citizens of Iran that you now want them to overthrow their government and let the US back in?
It's actually kind of funny, considering that a lot of people spend a lot of time ridiculing the idiocy of Democrat delusions.
I forgot, although Iranians have not, the shootdown of Iran Air Flight 655 was en route to Dubai from Bandar Abbas, Iran, carrying 274 passengers (including 66 children) and 16 crew members. Everyone on it died.
The US gave the captain of the ship that shot them down a Legion of Merit medal.
I’m not sure the Iranian people have it in them to accomplish this. I think they all have adapted to the general suffering over years of sanctions and attacks from Israel, along with a fractionalized leadership structure throughout the IRGC which makes it hard to find specific targets, both for us and the Iranian people.
The Kurds definitely have other reasons for fighting and I doubt it has anything to do with a free and independent Iran. I sincerely believe we should just pull out of the Middle East and let them settle their own affairs. We don’t rely on Middle East oil anymore, why are we so invested in any of this? The original idea that everyone is using is that Iran will acquire a nuclear weapon and use it immediately. I think this is a false narrative because they’ve had over 40 years to do it. I don’t think they would nuke Israel because they must know Israel has plenty of nukes and Iranians will be destroyed if they nuke anyone. Mutually Assured Destruction as always. Meanwhile we’re still supporting Ukraine which is truly dragging the world into a nuclear war.
I agree with you on Ukraine! The Military Industrial Complex that Eisenhower warned about decided we needed to view Russia as an Enemy in perpetuity in order to fill their contracts with UN and taxpayer money!
Iran is more complicated. Now that the USA has a say in the running of Venezuela, and are in talks with China and Cuba, business deals with the Saudi's and the UAE has dropped out of OPEC, Iran is less effective and has lost their place in the lucrative Black Market of embargoed oil.
Like it or not, the Global Economy is not going away. We could play the isolationist game, but we will never be able to put the Evil Genie back in the Bottle. The Greedy have already had a taste of foreign blood and deem it a market they don't want to give up.
Some of us know people in Israel who l have to constantly run to the bomb shelters due to incoming Hezbollah/IRGC funded rockets being launched from Lebanon. I also, knew a Lebanese family living in America because Lebanon had been taken over Christian persecutors.
So, there are many sides to these tumultuous land and resource battles that go on for Decades and Centuries. The premise of British Elites using the might of the American Military to enforce their interests, would explain why Britain willingly allowed their Military to all but disappear.
Jeff, about social media and declining birth rates, I want to offer a small but meaningful tidbit of information. I live next to a thriving Amish community that has no media whatsoever, even the books are curated. For families with wives between the ages of 18 to 48, the average number of children per family is a whopping 9.5. Nine and a half kids per mother !!! 😱Granted, the lack of screens is just one factor. Then there is home grown food, raw milk, plenty of sunshine and hard work. An aversion to modern technology including fake medicine like the near religious worship of vaccines is also probably in their favor. And a devotion to God and family values might also help. Community life where everyone works toward the good of all and there is NO dog eat dog climb up the whatever ladder is probably another factor. Finally, rural farm life makes child rearing incredibly cheap. Have one or 12 … they don’t even notice the cost. Not so with English city folk. The cause of infertility is outline right here! You can’t prove me wrong. I’m holding the birth certificate receipts 😆😆😆
Don't be a gullible dumb a*s. Socialism typically relies on government power to enforce economic equality. The Amish actively avoid the state, refusing government welfare, Social Security, and unemployment benefits.
Amish families own their own farms, homes, and businesses. They participate heavily in the free market by producing goods (like furniture and quilts) to sell to non-Amish consumers for profit.
When disaster strikes or a family member is sick, the community steps in with unpaid labor and financial support. However, this is voluntary Christian charity, NOT government-mandated wealth redistribution or state ownership.
Their lifestyle—guided by their traditional church rules, or Ordnung—is rooted in Anabaptist Christian faith, not political ideology.
That's why I mentioned 'profit'. When a government goes socialist, that involves profit-seekers, sometimes by destroying them. As long as they exist, however, or as long as the profit motive exists anywhere in the vicinity, they exert a force analogous to an "anchor to windward" on the polity, a force that eventually slows an economy to a crawl and dooms the effort.
Contrast this with situations where profit is NOT an objective: convents and monasteries are easy examples; the Amish are another -- they live a communal life largely disconnected from the commercial world. In such environments, socialism, even communism, will work.
Add the profit motive to the mix, and it all goes to hell in a handbasket. Even the USSR couldn't pull it off. They ran The Great Socialist Experiment in near-laboratory conditions for 70+ years, and in the end they all went out dirty, wet, cold, and hungry.
Can socialism work? In the right environment, yes. Can it work in what we think of as "normal" environments? Not a chance.
I must agree face effing your phones IS one of the causes of lower fertility. The first time I saw how disruptive smart phones are was 20 years ago at an outdoor cafe in Munich. Near us was a young couple on what seemed to be a first date. While he stared at her awkwardly, I never saw her put her phone down. That has now become SoP. That said, there are certainly others, like the steadily declining sperm count deliberately engineered into our food and environment for decades. Woke is another, where so many women believe they no longer need a man. Publicly shaming "toxic masculinity" is another, so men say screw it, why bother chasing tail if all I get is humiliated most of the time. Add in Gate's infamous declaration at a conference that with effective use of vaccines, they can decrease the population by 10 %.
Add in also the fact that FINDING someone who didn’t inject themselves with poison makes it difficult to even find a spouse that CAN procreate. We worried for our son these past years. It was extremely difficult to find a woman who wasn’t brainwashed. I will report that he did find someone with untainted blood, had an amazing God centered wedding last year, and we are now expecting our first grandchild. A grandson 🙌. It’s possible. But it’s more rare these days. God said to be fruitful and multiply at the beginning of mankind. The devil has perverted that ever since. So thankful our son and daughter in law practiced self control and approached their relationship from a biblical standard. And, they waited to procreate until after being married. Now we are celebrating!!!!
Excellent point I missed. I know even being well past procreation age, I would not want to date anyone who was jabbed due to all too real shedding. So happy your son's story had a happy ending. I donate to Safeblood / Blessed by His Blood, and ran into the "we don't want any blood transfusions" last week during my wife's reverse shoulder replacement. Had to explain it to 4 different people, and sign waivers.
Thank you. We are so excited!! That’s another one we’ve talked about! Blood transfusions. Gone are the days of trusting anyone’s blood. Wow. Good job on your part!!! Nothing is simple anymore.
You do not have to donate to be a member. It only works for a planned operation, as time is needed to find donors, donate, and send the blood. Best I have seen so far, and I know it works because I donated once. I looked for 2 years before someone on C&C posted this site and I investigated.
This looks great! I was looking through the FAQ and -do I understand correctly that they test the blood for MRNA but can’t determine yet if a covid injection specifically was had?
Correct. It is more an honor system backed up by as many "tells" as they can garner. Like organic food and wild caught fish, there are no guarantees. At least they are trying, which the Red Cross is doing the opposite.
It. Is. Amazing! The moment they shared the news life changed. We are so excited to see him face to face. Already seeing his personality come out in his movements and busy times of day. It is so fun! 🤩 We told our son and daughter in law they will probably have to schedule time on the calendar to see their son! 😂
But I don't think they need to be religious fundamentalists to be non-WOKE. They can stop in the middle-ground between the WOKE extreme and the fundamentalist extreme. American society was full of middle-ground people back in the 50s. That era produced the Baby Boom.
We are middle ground. I believe in a higher power, and strive to live my life in a way that is both responsible and does not seek to injure others. My relationship with that higher power is mine and is not preached in every third sentence, but accepting of those who feel the need to do so. Just know that if your child tells my child they will go to a fiery death if they don't join your group, I look at you as I do the radical Left, telling me that boys can be girls. The Fire and Brimstone is not appealing, no matter the side it.
Exactly, Lisa. There is a whole lot of middle-ground without having to enter the danger-zones of either extreme. Being more and more extremely WOKE does not make a person more virtuously progressive. Neither does being more and more virtuously fundamentalist in religion make a person more moral/holy. Both groups have a big blindspot there.
YES! There is Fire and Brimstone at both the far-rightwing and the far-leftwing. This is preached in both cases in order to induce fear, which then leads to control by the fear-preachers. Just as inducing fear was meant to lead to control by those who were the fear-inducers in COVID-mania. Same scam all around.
The authorities on both extreme sides want your soul and your subservience. Beat them by refusing to fall into the traps of either-side extremism. Reach for the middle ground of Homeostasis (someone here once told me they thought being in the middle meant being wishy-washy about your faith......which was a total misinterpretation of this principle).
I would like to have seen a graph that showed diminishing fertility rates on an even basis. This graph went from 1984 to 1992 to 2019. The first interval is 8 years while the second is 27 years! That seems deceptive to me. So we have 3.1% shift in 8 years and 7.2% shift in more than three times that period. I’m not saying the decline isn’t concerning, but fancy graphs need to be read carefully. Furthermore, with all the sexual perversions being pushed, abortion being glorified in the media, and the “fear for the future” bias screamed at us, no wonder the rates have declined. I foresee a greater and greater turning to God, which will naturally reverse the trend. Those having babies tend to be believers.
My niece is getting married this summer. Her and her fiancé both Christians don’t want children. They are both in their late 20’s. His Mom told him he would never find a Christian woman who didn’t want kids. He did 🫤
When I married my wife, she did not want children, and our daughter frequently threw that in her face. She did not even want to get married. Fiercely independent, but no feminist. I had to bribe her with a honeymoon my parents paid for, and agree not to tell our friends we weren't just living together anymore. For a year, no one figured it out. Needless to say, no wedding presents from anyone but immediate family.
I would say "covered" as a now environmental factor, because you cannot avoid it. Remember the rollout of5 G towers was considered essential during the scamdemic.
Don't forget the slop of "doing your part to stop the overpopulation of the earth to preserve it's limited resources" badge of honor. Now the libs are turning on Chrisitians who have babies with sneering condemnation. I know many youngeters who won't have kids due to state of the world and overpopulation.
Agree with you rolandttg, and what was it all about with those Georgia Guidestones (I think that is what they were called) for the depopulation of the earth. Then the Guidestones got blown up… by who? And why?
Recently read someone thought Ted Turner put them up. White Hats took them down with a DEW, laser or microwave. The why should be obvious. Not going to let this happen was the clear message.
Did everyone notice how donations to Democrats dropped dramatically when USAID was shut down and could no longer deliver to their NGOs? USAID filled the trough for that party, and now the faucet has been turned off.
If speed of takedown is any measure, Trump 2.0 knew USAID was the head of the financial snake. As Jeff points out, the fall of Actblue is dramatic too.
These Libtards deserve the moniker. They are apparently oblivious to the fact that their actions run totally opposite to their stated policies. Take their hatred for Monarchies... After nationwide "NO KINGS" marches (funded by a Libtard billionaire) these clowns stood like barking and clapping sea lions, unilaterally giving the King of England a standing ovation during his visit to Congress. Stupid is as stupid does...
Wow- great post today! Feeling optimistic for midterms— ☺️
The phones in the bedroom are a real problem. My husband & I are guilty of this ourselves. I’ve been seeing Reels promoting landline type holders for your cell phones. The idea is that when you are done with your phone you “hang it up” on the wall by placing it in a little holder. This could be in the kitchen, laundry room etc.. anything but the bedroom! And, yes, that means buying a regular alarm clock —- gasp! 😂 can’t wait to see my hubbys face when I announce this household change at the dinner table!
I have a phone charging station in the living room and a clock radio.
Anytime I travel or go to a hotel and the phone is by the bed, I'm clicking right before I shut my eyes and immediately again first thing in the morning. It is almost impossible to resist when it is right there.
Add the genius of the Spencer Pratt campaign to the list of the Democrats polycrisis. The Pratt campaign provides the blueprint for cutting through the Democrats’s propaganda in an entertaining and impactful way.
Those ads are the BEST!!!!!
His ads are good, but, it's sad that most voters make their decision on who to vote for from ads they have seen, rather than locating a candidate's actual policy recommendations.
Trump ran on closing the border and deporting illegal aliens. Pratt is running on cleaning up the streets of homeless and drug addicts. His ads make that point loud and clear and it's killing the Dems.
And sometimes you have to go with what works for the masses. Yes, sad they don’t pay attention to candidates policies, but in this instance they are clearly seeing what Pratt’s policies are.
But his ads do discuss policy, just not in the traditional way. At first, I, too, was embarrassed that we had been reduced to such nonsense, and then I realized that such nonsense was necessary to break the spell. And we have. I am not hearing any whining that he is attacking Bass because she is female and Black. It is all about the real problem and people seem ready to hear it. And he has followed up with interviews that show him as someone who has planned policies. I was at the LA airport the other day. It was unbelievable chaos. That we think we can host the Olympics is just ludicrous.
Sadly, between the lack of education and people's lack of focus, the 'average' video viewer has an attention span of about 3 minutes and that is if the subject is interesting or entertaining to them. Three minutes - that's all you get to snag & keep their attention. (My husband's firearms channel analytics brought this to our attention. He worked hard to get his videos down to close to 3 minute reviews after that, though some remained longer due to the importance of the subject.) You have to get their attention, make it amusing enough for them to recall & subscribe and set your points into stone in that time.
Spencer Pratt is taking advantage of the curiosity of the press, by using new tactics (such as power washing his flyer info into sidewalks using a stencil) to get them talking about it. This also points out the filth he is talking about cleaning up. His little cartoon videos are shareworthy and funny so they get shared. The more the press covers these unusual tactics, the more FREE advertising he gets. LOL! It is a solid plan and hopefully showcases the out of the box thinking he might employ to get jobs done.
I am no better. I realized that it takes me months to get through a book. i can't believe decades ago I snuck novels in under textbooks to read in class. I am completely dumbed down. I do appreciate the long podcasts. For some reason, I can listen to 90 minutes of philosophy. I just wish I could read 90 minutes of philosophy.
Sadly most people receive education about world events and candidates via osmosis of snippets that rise above everyday items … coworkers talking about a local or national tragedy is how they learn about what is in the zeitgeist, word of mouth is still possibly most influential source of info but 30 second ads must be a close second and ads like Spencer Pratts must score very very high on that list. Brilliant stuff … I think he is not yet in the lead but moving up significantly… I think he will get it in the end … the democrats machine looks like a very old dinosaur compared to those snappy AI ads set to pop favorites. The cost of production must be near zero … bold and affective!
It represents the deterioration of the level of education for the majority of the electorate.
Currently, we live in a cartoon society.
I agree 100% Mary Ann. No ads, just campaign. Politicians in the past would hop on trains and speak from the caboose in the towns. We now have all types of media to hear directly what their views are without leaving your armchair. Also have REAL debates, and lots of them, not scripted shows which is what "debates" are currently. Have citizens ask the questions.
The problem with getting a debate is that after Pratt humiliated his opponents in the first one with plain, everyday speech, they dropped out and refused to do the next. 🤣 Pratt would gladly debate any of them any where, any time. But they are hiding in Biden’s basement. (Oxymoron…I think I’ll start to refer to our basement as the biden)
The Biden. Kind of sounds like an outhouse.... "I'll be out reading in the Biden for a bit".
Just the chuckle I needed before bed 😆 After I turn off the lights in the biden.
The electorate had more core values and the media wasn't as decayed.
It's called "Marketing", but I digress... it's my opinion that most voters make their choice based on a candidate's political affiliation... to actually pay attention to a candidate's policy recommendations would be too much work for the average voter.
Pratt's ads do a really good job of conveying his policy positions.
To brainwash about there being two parties.
Ugh you are so black pilled Bard. I agree the past few decades produced a morphed uniparty that trudged forward in lockstep to achieve the mighty objective of BUSINESS AS USUAL. They all got rich together but now you see the sledgehammer has been thrown and the wrecking balls are swinging through the halls of politics. It is GLORIOUS. Change is afoot. A uniparty cannot act against itself like this. I see there are darker interpretations like a set up or consolidation or my black pill favorite … we are living in a simulation. But I am not a defeatist or a pessimist… I am an optimist and I choose to interpret the face value of what I am observing until there is compelling evidence to du otherwise.
Many did that during Covid.
Question everything like your life depends on it, keep up the optimism as you do it.
Uni-party with Factions then. Dem Party having a Dem-Socialist surge, similar to their Hamas-supporters in 2024. Colorado "dark money" billionaire Phil Anschutz owns Coachella, gives to LGBTs, his son-in-law Mike Bennet now running for governor and getting Bloomberg bucks, was helped made Senator by his pop-in-law, yet Dem dark $$$ media and billionaires back to bitching about him attacking democracy with Citizen Initiatives that must be stopped.
A sense of humor is a great advantage over the sourpuss Democrats.
Well he’s taking a page out of the Democrat playbook Rules for Radicals. He’s playing by their rules.
RULE 3: “Whenever possible, go outside the expertise of the enemy.”
RULE 4: “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.”
RULE 5: “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.”
RULE 6: “A good tactic is one your people enjoy.”
RULE 8: “Keep the pressure on. Never let up.”
Well, turnaround is fair play! Spencer knows that the LA Elite don't want their homes burnt down. Fire is good to the Climate Clinging Elites of California when it happens in the Central Sierra (2020, 23,24,25) where the work-a-day people have their homes, but it is bad when it threatens the Elite's vacation home in Tahoe (2025) and their mansion on the California Riviera (2025)!
I had never heard of Spencer until the ads came out. Now I am a fan!
Great ads but what is the likelyhood it all goes for naught? High is my guess because the communist cheat machine will nullify him.
That’s if you leave the odds up to secular mathematics. I claimed second Chronicles 20 before the election in 2024 and by the time it happened I knew Trump was going to win because it was God‘s plan.
I’m doing the same in terms of Pratt’s election.
He said his political model is Jesus Christ. God knows he’s got a man here who will give him glory so of course God will give him victory.
And so we pray for Spencer and Californication.
Bones, it is not always so simple to determine God’s will for the future but you make a decent case. I am praying about all of this
Jovan Hutton Pulitzer is our man for election integrity. Check him out!
Thank you, Bones!!!
🙏🙏🙏 everyday!
YES! ... and AMEN!
I don't know about that J, People all over the country have been talking about how they plan to visit CA just long enough to cast a vote for Spencer, since no voter ID is required. James Wood hilariously pointed this out on an X post. Entertaining as all get out!! They are freaking out over it now. LOL!!!
https://x.com/RealJamesWoods/status/2056592157142814730
Turnabout, as they say. Brilliant!
Where have you seen evidence of that? Great if it happens
Don't know what anyone will actually do it, but since CA has no ID voter laws it has been repeatedly been mentioned since James Woods brought it up.
https://x.com/RealJamesWoods/status/2056592157142814730
Oh I’m sure the deep state has funneled money to the polymarket to distort reality
From what I’ve read polymarket is totally manipulated by big money using algorithms to control the outcome. A very small percentage of the players win all the money.
Where have you read this? I’d love a link to see the article(s)
I think Blue No Matter Who will carry the day again, and PolyMarket probably has this one right.
I wish Republicans would run this type of ad, mocking the stupidity and cupidity of Democrats, every single year, the year around. People who won't read, anything, may still be awakened by such measures.
Pratt is the man.
Suggestion: Since California doesn't require ID, if you are a conservative in LA for early voting, take a few hours and drop a vote for Pratt and Hilton. It is against California law to ask to see ID to vote
PS - Impeachment has moved into the hall of fame of words with now power anymore like Nazi, racist, and fascist.
VOTE TODAY TEXAS
Jenna McCarthy covered this hilariously in her stack, and also embedded his latest ad and several of his greatest hits. Great stuff!
https://jennasside.rocks/p/the-entire-internet-threatens-to
Don't cheat. But don't squander your vote, either.
Need to take issue with the idea that the DNC has less money, right this minute, than the GOP.
The Dems, for all practical purposes, have all the money in the world, or at least all of the money they need / want.
The only real constraint on their funding is how fast campaign funds can be effectively spent. ($billion / month, Kamala?).
It’s all squirreled away via NGOs, foundations, non-profits, fraud, money-laundering, Act-Blue, Soros-types, et cetera.
Remember the $20B+ EPA slush fund? . . . the one that was found.
The Dems have the money (mostly public); they just need to work on their spending machine.
Oh they have their donors, like Soros & Neville Singh, but they are only allowed to donate so much per person. That's why they used the ActBlue scam to rig donations repeatedly in elderly people's names. Some elderly person on a fixed income who may have given $5 one time, suddenly has a record of donating 32k every year. I sure hope they put the screws to them and also charge them with identity theft.
Kamala-lala-ding-dong spent over $2 Billon dollars just throwing it away in the few months she was their appointed candidate. And left them $20 million in debt. Funny thing is - every interview she paid for, DJT was then entitled to an interview spot for the same time duration, so he watched her spend, saved his money and still got the interviews he wanted. Free advertising - All her interviews were a boon to him, not only for the $ spent, but every time she opened her mouth, more stupid fell out that he then ridiculed her about.

I remember that ad. Just need to add a little Scott Pressler PERSISTENCE to such campaigns, and never let up. Too bad she stopped once the election was over. And make sure they get seen by the people who will be voting.
I looked her up - she lost big in 2020, but ran in a different district in 2024, where she still lost, but by a smaller margin. She does do a podcast and seems to appear in support of some conservative candidates.
This ad, very like Pratt's ads, didn't work in Baltimore. I'm hopeful that Pratt will have more success, but I wouldn't be surprised if Bass wins anyway.
He’s using ridicule against Bass and Newsom which is appreciated more by the people.
Yes, I remember this ad even though I don't live anywhere near there! Sad. Although I think the zeitgeist is changing - her ad ran in 2020 when too many people were brainwashed. (and too many still are, but not like back then)
Seems like Baltimore is a lost city, full of black hostages. Unbeatable corrupt political machine, until a decent governor or DOJ can do something to clean it up.
I am in a suburb of Kansas City, which is doing it's best to become much like Baltimore. 50 years of D machine rule, and as conditions continue to deteriorate, the D faithful bail to the suburbs where they vote for the same party and policies that led them to flee in the first place. Our suburb has flipped from solid red to purplish blue in the last decade in local elections. Trump still won (53%) in 2024, but sadly, most conservatives stay home in April (local) elections. Things may be starting to tip as many are now dismayed at the results and antics of a D majority school board and city council.
Same here in CO. I'm in suburb of Denver and it's a sea of blue. Even the side of the red appears to be nothing but RINO. I want to puke every time I see "been there, raked that in" M. Bennett on the TV for govenor.
Get involved with as many like minded people as possible and go door to door, leaving pamphlets or a flyer! Scott Pressler has had tremendous success doing this. Are you able to vote for Rick Brattin? He is a wonderful conservative that with re-districting we won’t be able to vote for him anymore!
Like Cook (Crook) County Chicago!!
Sounds like a movie title: "Black Hostages of Baltimore"
I agree that things might’ve changed enough for it to be successful now.
Well, when cheating is their method, who can win but the cheaters?
She was ahead of her time. That commercial would work today
Ridicule works wonders against obvious evil
That was a great ad, but they're very different situations, I think. She didn't have the same pre-election visibility he did, and the racial-ethnic make-up of the two cities is very different. The Democrat lock on 90+% of black votes doesn't matter in LA, where black voters have largely been replaced.
Yes, I agree, plus a lot of people are really angry with how the fires and the homeless situation have been mishandled.
I have only seen those annoying texts pop up on my phone, they get deleted and reported as spam without reading, just like all of them.
I have no idea how much general circulation those ads get. Sure, Pratt supporters share them with other Pratt supporters, but are they getting outside the normie bubble and penetrating the lefty bubble? If not, they probably aren’t going to move the needle on Election Day.

Good morning, Janice! Thank you for this verse, a good reminder to share the mercies we have received with others. God bless you!
Go away.
The reason the Executive Branch has gained power is because the Legislative Brach is a total worthless group. The Senate in particular is totally bought and paid for by outside interests
The Senate also thinks of itself as a club with lifetime membership. Prime examples: the recent temper tantrum over Cassidy and Cornyn; the refusal to pass the SAVE America Act; temper tantrum over the $1.776B fund to compensate lawfare victims, etc. etc.
It is a lifetime commitment to getting rich off the taxpayer and doing very little if any work.
Sounds like politics and public employment in general. :(
While protesting the compensation fund, Senators are making sure tax oayers give them $500,000 for each line of communication subpoenad during Arctic Frost!
But they were ok having a compensation fund to address sexual harassment claims. Hypocrites.
Right?? 😡
Speaking of a 'club with lifetime membership', did everyone see Massie is running for the Senate in KY now?
🤣🤣🤣Unless it’s a totally corrupted election he doesn’t have a chance unless KY voters are that stupid!
Israel will probably allow him to be a state senator as he cannot cause them any accountability for their war crimes from that insignificant spot.
I can fix that. Give this a try. I’m going to go out on a limb here and suggest the “fix” is actually simpler than you might think . How? separate spending from funding. Elected politicians can and should propose spending BUT ONLY citizen taxpayers should APPROVE FUNDING . I.E. distribute decision making across the entire taxpayer population . This will tend to put a hard stop to fraud and waste if given the help of DOGE. Every taxpayer must assign their tax dollars for or NOT for each spending bill proposed. Make a bill obtuse and unintelligible? No problem. Just say “no you can’t use my tax dollars for that.” Bills that taxpayers agree to fund get annual audits and review ie can the government continue to use my tax dollars for this? The result: Budgets then shrink or swell based on performance and the will of THOSE who actually fund the government. If everyone with skin in the game (ie taxpayers) did this, graft and political manipulation would approach zero. Nothing focuses the mind, sharpening the senses more than having one’s own hard work stolen and misused. And nothing would do more to unite Democrats and Republicans than everyone getting the governance they want TO THE EXTENT THEY WERE WILLING TO PAY FOR IT. Note: non-contributing citizens and non-citizens ARE NOT allowed in this assignment. Why? Because they get their say when they vote for or lobby their representatives who propose the spending. But if they aren’t actually paying taxes for government services, then they shouldn’t get to fund the government! This is the step change needed in our constitution! And would do a great deal more to secure our God given rights than all the pontificating party politics or all the social media complaining or all the useless dumb ass protesting.
100% correct Barbara.
To implement: All voters registered with copies of their actual birth certificate shown to Fed. Employees(not state), approved as "real", allowed to register on the voting website. If they fail to vote 3 times in a row, they are UN-registered; try again. If they aren't smart enough to use a website and vote on simple items, They should not be voting anyway. DOGE supervised, annually weeded for fraud.
THANK YOU for even entertaining this idea. !! By the way, I always look for your comments on Substack 😍
We all must consider thinking out of the box to turn the USA around:
-- your idea, perfect example,
-- with over 3000 counties in the USA, legislation meant for across the country application should be trialed in 5 or 10 random counties and monitored. Only after 1 to 5 years of monitoring should any big Law(Obamacare, the Big Beautiful Bill as examples) go for presidential signature.
-- no emergency bills allowed without extreme voter participation(using your idea)
and on and on.
I’m confident that collectively the taxpayers in this country could figure out a system solution that would work!!
Arrogance to say what you say. Voting has not based on a website. That is one of the reasons we are where we are. Insulting..since when to you get to judge and decide on who votes or doesn't...if you are a legal citizen of the United States of America , you qualify.
Just relax Carolyn. They are spitballing ideas. We can’t get offended so easily otherwise we’d be democrats. Keep an open mind.
I'm glad Karmy said "Relax". . . as a GUY, I can't say that and get away with it.
Maybe you should re-read my post, not sure YOU got it.
Excuse me..smartness has nothing to do with not wanting to use a web site..that is an individual decision..the internet could be a very good thing but it has been captured and is now if not always a tool of satan.
I like your idea Barbara, but how would such voting work? Would citizens vote on every Bill? How do you protect against the loudest activists with the most time on their hands from running the show?
Maybe require a quorum of 2/3 of all tax paying citizens are needed to approve any spending? Not 2/3 of those voting, 2/3 of all of them! Low turnout? Too bad. Can't get to 2/3 because there are so few things that many of us agree on? Too bad.
So, some details to worry about...but I like it!
Here's my reform idea: have US Senators elected by two groups in each State. Group 1 is the 50% of the population living in the most populous counties (Blue Cities!). Group 2 is everyone else (rural). Overnight, you'd have a 50-50 R-D Senate...if there were no other preferences. But you have all the Red States that would send two conservatives. So, I suspect the Senate would be something like 65-35 conservative to blue hairs.
Yes Greg the mechanics will take an Elon Musk to solve. But we, here in Monroe County Kentucky are going to experiment with a modified version using membership YouTube for deciding Fiscal Court spending. Every voter becomes a member. Every issue gets its own YouTube video. Comments are encouraged live and then open for 7 days afterward. Every voter (who participates) gets a thumbs up or thumbs down vote. It’s a right step in shifting responsibility for OUR tax dollars onto OUR shoulders and encourages intelligent participation. If it works, some more sophisticated version might be adopted nation wide.
I commend you, Barbara, for your out of the box thinking. Perhaps you might consider running in a local election. We need people like you in government.
Love the ideas, I really do. But anything digital can be sabotaged and corrupted quite easily. Those of us who have programmed computers know there really is no security on the internet. Look how easily they can boost X-posts with likes and views using bots.
I love the ideas but there has to be a manual and secure way to cast those votes, truly secure from corruptability.
Right, that will take bigger brains and security skills than I have! But it’s not impossible so we shouldn’t let that difficulty stand in our way.
Juju, every month of every year for over 60 years I have gotten a 100% accurate phone bill with all the numbers I have called and the cost to me per call. If the phone company can deliver that, SOMEONE can deliver an accurate and secure vote on budget proposals.
Yeah but corrupting our phone bills would have been easy if it in any way threatened the power in government. As it is it’s no threats to anyone but our own pocketbook. 😆
But I get what you mean. Yes we have the ability to use tech to accurately tabulate, we just don’t have a way to protect it from sabotage and infiltration. All digital data is capable of being corrupted.
Greg Montana is a red state but I’m not confident that we could send 2 conservatives. We have RINOS running as Republicans and I’m concerned that he might get elected. He did damage in the legislature now he’s running for Senator. I’m praying he does not win.
I have friends in Montana, The Elderly mother is conservative but both the Boomer daughters vote for Democrats. They identify as inclusive and caring, and the elder daughter had lived in many countries. They tend to believe the old rhetoric of what a Republican voter is. Lol
This will only work after the SAVE Act is passed. Voter rolls have to be cleaned up and ID required.
Good idea Barbara, maybe? However the whole purpose of the House is to do just this. Representative government. Your approach would be nearly impossible to implement. An easier approach would be (and one that was utilized at our founding), would be that people who don’t pay taxes, 1/2 the country, do not get representation. Which means that most of the people in the big cities don’t get represented, which means there are even fewer democrat districts. Census would have to be done more frequently, every 4 years, to count people that strive to make more money so they can productive and pay taxes and be represented. Those who don’t want to suck off the government t..t anymore. This way people have skin in the game and those who don’t pay taxes now will understand better the importance of limiting government.
Thank you Tom for even considering it. My two cents. Representative government was a great idea until it stopped being representative and was captured by hardened political parties. Vast numbers of us , regardless of our party affiliation, agree on certain issues that NEITHER party is representing FOR EXAMPLE the Save America Act. I’m going to suggest that collecting this data would be no harder than correctly billing me for my phone calls which happens every month. It just takes WANTING to do it which absolutely NO politician will as it removes their control, their lobbies, their back room corruption, their manipulation, and their fraud.
Love this idea
Agreed. In all of 2025, Congress gave Trump only one bill: the Big Beautiful Bill. The Senate has refused to let Trump make any recess appointments by staying in session even when they are away on their holidays.
That’s a rule that needs to change. If they are away they cannot still be in session. Period
And even with this one big bill they allowed the Parliamentarian to block key sections, such as PP defunding. 🤬🤬🤬
“Total publicly identifiable provisions struck or forced into revision across both Trump terms: more than 75. Total fiscal value of struck provisions on Medicaid alone: more than $500 billion. Total times the Republican Senate majority has overruled the Parlamentarian: one. Total times the Republican Senate Majority Leader has fired her, in the 14 years she has been gutting Republican legislation: zero.
Wow! that certainly sounds more like a Uni-party in the Senate.
Arguably due to the ridiculous 17th Amendment that caused the Senate to be a mini-me House.
I've often wondered if we shouldn't repeal the 17th and return the states to having a voice in Congress. Because it was ratified during the Progressive Era (the founding era of Government by Experts, I'm not sure the 17th was a good idea. After all, it's far easier to shape the opinions (by which I mean propagandize) of the public than it might be to propagandize the views of state governments.
Mary Ann, the 17th absolutely wasn't a good idea, and not were the other "gifts" left us by the regressive "Progressives:"
the 16th (income tax), 17th, 18th (Prohibition), 19th (women voting, and yes, I said that), the Firearms Control Act of 1934, and the statutory cap on the number of Representatives.
https://thirty-thousand.org/
Disagree with women voting being a bad idea but agree with the rest.
I used to disagree, but now looking back at my own voting record prior to having children, and it was emotionally influenced by the Feminist movement in magazines, Hollywood and University! I voted for Feinstein (not a big regret), and Barbara Boxer for CA, Senate, during the "Year of the Woman" campaign. Boxer, like Pelosi were carpet baggers from the East Coast and anointed by the Machine. At least Feinstein was local and rose through the SF route and was level headed during the Aides Epidemic.
Once I married and had children, I saw the brainwashing and ego centered lifestyle of Feminism as an arm of the Nanny State and death culture. I make far better decisions when I have something of value, children and property, to protect and to lose.
I think we need to return to the original idea that property owners have the right to vote. This way, the people who have the direct responsibility for funding the Schools and services, pay the larger share of the taxes, have the say in how tax dollars are spent and who represents them!
Sorry but just because you and others voted “the wrong way” shouldn’t negate mine and others’ right to vote. I have voted conservative all of my life, as have pretty much all of the women in my family. If we are all considered citizens then we should have the rights of citizens. I am not sure why someone like Joe Biden or Alex Pretti should have the right to vote but I wouldn’t. With the only difference being that they have male reproductive equipment and I don’t. And you could extend that to other groups too—a certain ethnic or racial group doesn’t vote the way you’d like them to? Take away their right to vote! It’s a slippery slope. Instead (and I would argue that this has been happening), we need to do a better job persuading women and other groups that our values and platforms and ideas are better.
Also it’s not like we had fewer problems when only men voted. There was a ton of corruption and there were poor decisions made then, too.
So are Representatives, because of the regressive "Progressive" statutory limit on the number of Representatives, contra the design in the Constitution. With each House district having 750,000 people instead of the constitutional minimum of 30,000 (and intended maximum of 50,000), campaigns are so expensive that power resides with the big donors, consultants, etc. It's a similar problem in the Senate, due to the 17th Amendment, forcing expensive statewide campaigns.
https://thirty-thousand.org/
Add in that Congress really doesn't want to take accountability for much. They've delegated their authority to the judiciary and executive branches for many years now. Where we _should_ have checks and balances, we've lost a lot of that.
💯
Americans are not buying what the democrats are selling. Their soft nudging, trying to coerce their Marxist agenda has turned into hard in your face leftist tyranny and people have caught on to their obvious insanity. With candidates like Graham Platner, you know the guy with a Nazi SS tattoo on his chest, a self proclaimed Nazi Communist, or Texas House candidate Maureen Galindo you can see how frightening the democrats party has become. I realize Platner would be the perfect commandant for Galinda’s concentration camp but unfortunately for these two, evan with the endorsement of Bernie Sanders and Chuck Schumer, both of Jewish decent, Americans are just not into Hitlerism no matter how much they project their totalitarian Naziism onto Trump. The democrat party and the democrat leaders are just plain sick in the head. All of this as America has to suffer through another crazy leftist, democrat pushed assassination attempt on the president of the United States. J.Goodrich
Although Americans have to be careful not to go to the opposite extreme, which ends up being just as bad.
Speaking here of parlor tricks and control strategies, there is a controller game of DIVIDE AND CONQUER. In which the controllers surreptitiously promote two opposing extremes in a given society, and then let them tear one another apart. That way, the two opposing groups do the destroying of society themselves. While the controllers sit back and smirk.
I think of the American Civil War here. Or warfare between major clans in the 17th century Highlands of Scotland. Or the Catholic/Protestant wars in Northern Ireland, My bet is that none of these warfare mind-sets were organic....but promoted (by the same men behind the curtain, pulling the lever).
I will specifically point out the modern warfare of the WOKE-folk/Democrats against the Fundamentalist Trump supporters. They could easily destroy one another, and society with it.
Was that the plan?
After a few months of reading this Substack intermittently, I would say that the religious fundamentalists are very proud because they believe they are the good guys, standing up against the bad guys.
The WOKE-folk have the same belief.
Seems to me like just another DIVIDE and CONQUER scheme -- where the powers-that-be first established the extremist leftwing WOKE group, and then (of course!) they grew the far rightwing religious fundamentalist group. So these opposing groups could destroy one another. Saves the powers-that-be the trouble of doing it themselves.
So WHAT is the most beneficial path? That would be moving to the middle-ground and living there without either version of extremism. Called Homeostasis, or the Middle Way, or the Golden Mean.
Contrary to popular opinion, going further and further into one ideology or set of beliefs simply makes you fall off the cliff eventually. It does not prove that you are BETTER due to your extremism.
The biggest human challenge is not to be extreme, but to be balanced.
So I am afraid that neither the WOKE-folk nor the religious fundamentalists are making the grade here. They are both doing it wrong. Although they are both convinced they are doing it right. And furthermore, they think that the greater they live an extreme, the better they will show the world they are!
That is the delusion on both extreme sides. Which is precisely what the controllers planned. It plays right into their hands.
I can see this playing out, especially with the assassination of Kirk. I also saw this in the Covid Plandemic, though the Right did not take the Black Lives Matter bait and take up marching and Arms. The narrative the MSM used to discibe the young men defending businesses was a giant tell, as was the way the Congress and Media worked together to convince the general public that Trump was a dictator and would not leave D.C. Lol, The number of people who bought that trick was astonishing!
WHO, exactly, established Christian religious fundamentalism? WHAT is the history of that idea?? Or is it simply that your parents raised you as a fundamentalist, and you never really gave much thought to where this movement originated -- apart from the fact that a lot of people thump the Bible and claim that their own interpretation is the CORRECT one?
And so the herds form, under various power-grabbers. And I think the biggest power-grabbers of them all are probably the ones who arranged the whole WOKE/Fundamentalist set-up.
Sorry for shaking up your Substack underpinnings, Jeff, but it had to be done.
Ever notice that Trump is not particularly religious himself, but that his supporters are usually the merry band of religious fundamentalists?
When the smoke clears and the dust settles in Iran and new final middle east grows into
a vision of the New Frontier of peace and prosper from still extracting oils from earth.....
As always,
"Were it not for some Devine perfection and the final moments....
Nothing would ever get done on Earth".
The Republicans may have more money, but given the dummies who run the RNC, I have no faith that they will spend it wisely.
These "dummies" are what I call: The Ruling Class of Society. They influence where all the money goes and what policies get focused on. The illusion of democracy: https://unorthodoxy.substack.com/p/the-ruling-class-of-the-united-states
And that’s why MAGA is picking them off, one by one. Hopefully Cornin’s turn is today!
I’m hoping that people get involved and contact their senators to call a vote for a new senate leader. Get Thune away from the levers of power.
I agree! But the damn GOPe is SO wishy-washy that I doubt the current crowd would elect a majority leader like Dave McCormick of PA or Ashley Moody of FL. Or godforbid, the BEST one would be Mike Lee of UT. All the rest are DEEPLY SUSPECT. 😡
I did my part! I HATE THAT SOB! Horrible, lies to get elected, then enriches himself and works with Thune and other RINO's to slow-kill the republic.
Harvard-trained historian Carroll Quigley spelled it out in his 1949 book, "The Anglo American Establishment".
Quigley! Haven’t heard that name in forever! Thank you for the reminder! I just talked about the Anglo American establishment yesterday as well trying that to Memorial day and the propaganda that has ensured over society: https://unorthodoxy.substack.com/p/short-thoughts-may-25-memorial-day
Thank you for your service.
Tunnels to Towers is just a recruitment NGO$.
I will have a read of that, Franklin.
The two important Carroll Quigley books are due for a re-read right about now: "The Anglo American Establishment" (1949) and "Tragedy and Hope" (1966).
There are claims that Quigley was documenting and describing the 2000-year-old British Network (of Globalists). And the games they play. Though the author was one of them himself.
Another marker -- former Deputy PM of Canada, Chrystia Freeland, has become the new CEO of the Rhodes Trust in England (while she also works for Zelensky of the Ukraine). The Rhodes Trust of Cecil Rhodes, South African diamond magnate, who established the system of Rhodes Scholars to infiltrate Anglosphere institutions on behalf of the British Network.
Our leaders are groomed there like Clinton.
Read Tragedy and Hope
Choose another title
You can get lost in the detail
Mullins World Order is nicely in you face.
The Quigley books are massive. Joseph Plummer does a decent modern summary of "Tragedy and Hope".
The importation and resettlement of tens of millions within "Anglo-Protestant" societies achieves their elitist aims far more than some culturally-racially stratified, Apartheid colonial system that was an interim policy i suppose (?).
But they do not want too many "elite". Or they would cease to be an elite class. They want many servants/puppets available too.
To breakdown all national borders.
Pray tell.
Freeland's appointment to the Rhodes Trust was public news. And by learning about the history of the British Network, it becomes clear why that post is important to them. Freeland herself makes no secret of being a Globalist. She would not have gone from Deputy PM of Canada down to running an insignificant NGO. The point here being that the Rhodes Trust is not insignificant.
Anyone who thinks its the Democrats, or the Liberals, or the Left, needs to hurry up and take the red pill.

True! Fortunately lots of the $ is NOT in RNC’s control. I think that TRUMP actually might control the largest pile of $. I’m glad!
The RNC is pathetic in Maricopa county, Arizona.
Please don't pile your comments for the whole into and under the heading of someone else's post that isn't related your topic. Thank you.
With traitors like Thune (who prefer to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory) thwarting the SAVE Act, there is probably still lots of opportunity for cheating & fraud in the midterms.
On a positive note, people from all over the country say (tongue in cheek) they plan to show up in LA to vote for Pratt, saying, “what are they gonna do, ask for ID?” 😂
One thing I notice is than republicans tend to vote out our radicals and are starting to do a better job of ousting those that are ‘retired in place’ that aren’t moving the party’s agenda forward (like Cornyn… if you’re in TX go vote today!)
The Democrats, however, seem to be terrified of their party radicals and kowtow to them. The normie libs have now seen it and are refusing to support the party financially, even if they agree with the platform. It’s an interesting thing to watch.
I went this morning and voted for Paxton, Bo French, Mayes Middleton, and Tom Smith. I want the Bush era ended. My only concern is open primaries here in TX allow Democrats to vote GOP ticket. Our state legislature is responsible for this, as it’s ran by a RINO who lets Dems control even tho in the minority.
Agree, Valerie. Supposedly Paxton has a real chance to oust that decrepit barnacle.
I voted early and just reminded my husband to make sure he gets over to vote today.
What platform? You have to have one first for people to support or not support.
I would go to L.A. just to vote for Platt, but the thought of being in California is enough to convince me to stay in PA.
I used to love CA when it was still sane in the 1960s-1970s & even attended college in San Diego for a period. But as many beautiful places as there still are, I refuse to spend a dime in CA & haven’t been there in years.
It’s really surreal. We live near Chicago. In 2022 our oldest son went missing and was found 2000 miles away in Santa Monica, CA … living in his socks on the street. (He had a mental breakdown with schizophrenia…) He was shot at twice. One time the bullet literally bounced off of him and it was a real bullet, not one of those rubber bullets. Nobody can tell me our prayers don’t work and Angels aren’t intervening on our behalf. Angels surrounded my son while out there until we could find him.
The three weeks I spent desperately looking for him shocked me by what I witnessed. The last time I had been in CA was first in 1984, Huntington Beach and Venice Beach both, then again in 1988 LA and San Fran. Beautiful. Fun. Energetic. Clean. Bright. Sunny. The difference between then and 2022 was unreal, and believe me Venice Beach had its crazies in the 80s too, but it still was clean and somewhat normal. But this was different. I came back and reported how every block between Venice Beach and LA was littered with homeless make-shift shelters and tents. They used anything and everything to create a roof and walls. Everyone was drugged up and crawling around. Homeless didn’t want your money, they wanted a free hit off you. They took tents, clothes, and blankets that I offered, but tossed aside any food. Food was rotting on the ground everywhere. I got pictures of it all. It was really hard for people to believe me when I came back and tried to explain what it was like out there, who I met on the street, how the police function and interact with family members like me, what charitable services try to help and how. Here we are in 2026 and now everyone knows I was not exaggerating one bit. I thank God profusely every day my son is now safe and didn’t spend another week in that hellhole.
Bless you for telling the people of Chicago what is coming there way! I am so pleased that you were able to find and retrieve your son. Today it might be impossible with all the government activist and paid warriors working to keep these poor drug addled souls on the streets and stoned out of their minds!
I personally advocate to turn old military bases into Health and wellness treatment centers with Skills building, like trades, money management strategies and Nutrition and cooking classes! These people, if Citizens of the USA, should be uplifted and saved by Government policy and tax dollars, then returned into society with honest, marketable skills and a clean mind and body!
I get tears watching this beautiful video of Roy Orbison’s “California Blue.” America is capable of so much that is good. Right now I can’t decide whether we’re entering a fourth turning into a golden age of America, or the denouement to the end times.

Me too, but I’m too cheap. I’d vote in every precinct, too.
Jeff, if you call out media hypocrisy every time you see it...you won't have time for anything else.
I say call out bs everytime you see it. Don’t let nothin’ slide!
I was going to say the same thing!
Jeff failed to call out (as did the MSM) the true cause of the 1st world global fertility crisis. It isn’t smartphones, although that device does deliver anxiety about the future which makes some less inclined to bring new babies into the world. But the #1 cause is the skyrocketing price of house and childcare, which fuels a feeling of economic insecurity. We all are now starting to experience the benefits of the Big Beautiful Bill. To reverse fertility trends, we will eventually need a Big Beautiful Cut in spending and debt to GDP % ratio. Kids not being able to afford homes now until they are 40 is a rot and crumbling of our foundation. And too many on the Right are afraid to openly talk about this, and how to remedy it, because the ‘win’ takes time. And our attention spans are small. This is why I think the next big crisis will be Occupy Wall Street 2.0. It will unite younger generations vs. older generations and cross traditional party lines.
People need to have faith that God will make it work.
I got married in 1973. Everyone was talking about how expensive everything was. We were supposed to run out of oil by 1990.
We had 3 babies before we owned a home. We rented an old farm house in the country and were happy. We lived frugally, saved money and built a 4 bedroom, 3 and a half bath house. Not fancy, but got the job done.
I wouldn’t trade the treasure of my big fun family for anything.
There’s never a good time to marry, have children, build a house.
If one waits for the good time to do those things, one will miss the opportunities God provides as the needs arise.
One has to step out in faith and let God do what he does.
I'm with you! While it is a complicated issue, it seems to me that far too many folk are drinking the "you need all these things!" Cool aid, and having blown their budgets on all that and have (they think because they are told) nothing left for housing, so they don't look. That is compounded by the fact that they are sold the bill of goods that they must have a new house with 21st century bling in a prime neighborhood. You can find good serviceable houses most anywhere (except perhaps blue cities). They won't be big, won't have fancy appliances, pool, maybe no garage no paved drive, no sidewalk. Might be on a well and septic. Might be fixer uppers. But you pay a fraction, and you have a house! Place to start on the "rest of life"! We've had 2 houses in last 50 yrs. Both serviceable, liveable, but improved over the years to comfortable. But my dad taught me "if you want something, save and buy it, or make it yourself." So I did both.
I tend to agree with you, as I place my daily trust in our Lord. I am pointing out a very recent uptick in the age of 1st time home buyers. In the 50's and 60's, average age to buy 1st home was 'late 20's'. In 1970's and all the way up until 2022, the average 1st time home buyer was 'early to mid 30's'. But 2024 saw average age go to 38, and 2025 it went to 40. This recent 'spike' in age to buy is what I'm highlighting.
I understand. But there’s also an uptick in the age when people consider themselves grown up enough to move out of their parents’ home.
People are taking a long time to grow up these days.
Look at a high school yearbook from the 50’s and the seniors look like they’re 30+ years old.
Today they look like adolescents.
People are taking a long time to acquire life skills.
Yes, helicopter parenting has stunted some from taking flight earlier. I was a free range kid growing up in 70’s/80’s and left home for military then college at early age.
We should also not ignore the elephant in the room; abortion. For an infertile world, there sure have been a lot of them. Babies terminated in the womb by the hundreds of millions are certainly going to have a negative impact on birthrates.
It would appear that there are plenty of conceptions; but a dearth of follow throughs.
There were no smart phones in the late 80's when I was working with low income preschoolers' and was beginning to rethink wanting children. Then I chose to change jobs to working with children from Middle Class families and realized that divorce, out of wedlock births, a lack of education, skills/Trade are key choices that lead to lower incomes and poor relationships, etc.
EMF is the main driver for infertility and illness of all kinds, the second would be poisons, like Glyphosates into our foods & water supply; third microplastics.
Since the clot shots were injected into so many, on top of years of CDC mandated vaxxes esp on the young, the fall out is more apparent. Also seems to be the biggest early driver of dementia/Alzheimer's. You can do all the vaccine studies you want, but until all environmental factors are included, there will be no true conclusion showing a forward path to safety and health.

Economic insecurity is a different catalyst. People have been having children they can not afford forever. But, yes, 100% all spending needs to be cut to be LESS than income, with all overage put towards our debt. No matter how many programs & pet projects have to be cut.
Fortunately, for us, Jeff gives excellent examples which allows us to learn and decipher the double standard speak on out own!
There's another "fundraising woe" confronting the Democrats, one not mentioned here. The party's twisted face these days is that of a screaming, ranting lunatic, a fool in denial of both historical and biological reality. Fortunately for the future of our nation, the percentage of the population in alignment with that class of beliefs is small, and arguably is shrinking.
Normal may just be the new cool of 2026.
You mean everyone should behave and act in kindness and goodness and maybe say nothing at all if you can't say anything nice? You mean get along in the sandbox?
Sadly, Liberal progressives will not go for it.
over the years I have concluded that somewhere between 15 and 25% of Americans is that which you depict. I pray you ARE correct that it is shrinking.
"...like those evil flying monkeys dressed up as elevator attendants in The Wizard of Oz."
Jeff, always noticing something I missed in plain sight.
the image generated by that phrase is . . . just plain funny.
Right?? 🤣😆
Made me laugh too - he was right on the money with the description ! 😂
Right down to the pillbox hats they wore!
Fez.
🤣 their little hats
Seth Keshel thinks there are four keys to Trump winning the Midterms. One is the outcome of the Iran operation. The sooner the resolution the better, and it hinges on the people of Iran taking their country back from within. Here's his assessment from yesterday:
https://skeshel.substack.com/p/the-iranian-peace-deal-is-essential?r=1657tz&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email
They need a MIPA movement (Make Iran Persian Again).
The biggest problem is the people having the necessary weapons to fight back. They don’t. They definitely have the will and the spirit. But without weapons they are sitting ducks, as 40,000 discovered earlier this year. 😞
The sources I read don’t say this outright, frequently reference that the universe of those who know what’s happening on the ground is exceedingly small. And that the ground is being prepared.
When the story is finally told, I will not be surprised to learn that the special ops from supportive countries have been on the ground the entire time, helping the people in ways we don’t imagine.
Not so long ago, Iran International reported an IRGC official was stabbed to death at one of their checkpoints. Given the danger to civilians being on the streets, this was a bold move.
There’s more to the story than meets the eye. I suspect a lot of what we hear and see is misdirection. Prayers up!!!
As the Jewish population of Europe discovered in the 1930's! As California and Illinois, Oregon, Washington and Canada are discovering today!
It is delusional to think that Iranians will "take back" their country in order to hand it over to the country that caused most of their problems in the first place.
From the overthrow of their elected government in 1953, to the US-instigated Iran-Iraq war of the 80s, to the widespread suffering caused by the decades of sanctions, to the vicious attack during negotiations on Feb. 28th, and ongoing.
How delusional do you have to be to look at that history and confidently prescribe to the citizens of Iran that you now want them to overthrow their government and let the US back in?
It's actually kind of funny, considering that a lot of people spend a lot of time ridiculing the idiocy of Democrat delusions.
Mrs. RW
Actually, I read that it was Britain using our CIA to further the agenda of the Globalists and the company now re-named British Petroleum.
Yes, it was the Brits who controlled Iran before the coup, but the US managed to get control after.
But the US and Brits work together a lot, as we can see from the Epstein files, and of course, Russiagate.
I agree with you that it is actually the globalists in both countries, furthering the agenda of our ruling overlords.
Mrs. RW
I forgot, although Iranians have not, the shootdown of Iran Air Flight 655 was en route to Dubai from Bandar Abbas, Iran, carrying 274 passengers (including 66 children) and 16 crew members. Everyone on it died.
The US gave the captain of the ship that shot them down a Legion of Merit medal.
Iranians were not happy about that.
Mrs. RW
I’m not sure the Iranian people have it in them to accomplish this. I think they all have adapted to the general suffering over years of sanctions and attacks from Israel, along with a fractionalized leadership structure throughout the IRGC which makes it hard to find specific targets, both for us and the Iranian people.
They have destroyed 7 IRGC buildings using whatever they can to do so. They are risking their lives to fight them.
Are you sure it was native Iranians? In today’s world of high tech information, how do we know it wasn’t CIA backed operatives such as the Kurds?
Even if it was Kurds, they were still risking their lives 🤦♀️
Mercenaries risk their lives for the money.
As seen in the streets of LA, Minnesota and Potlandia.
The video showed Iranians with an Iranian speaker reporting this to a journalist.
The Kurds definitely have other reasons for fighting and I doubt it has anything to do with a free and independent Iran. I sincerely believe we should just pull out of the Middle East and let them settle their own affairs. We don’t rely on Middle East oil anymore, why are we so invested in any of this? The original idea that everyone is using is that Iran will acquire a nuclear weapon and use it immediately. I think this is a false narrative because they’ve had over 40 years to do it. I don’t think they would nuke Israel because they must know Israel has plenty of nukes and Iranians will be destroyed if they nuke anyone. Mutually Assured Destruction as always. Meanwhile we’re still supporting Ukraine which is truly dragging the world into a nuclear war.
I agree with you on Ukraine! The Military Industrial Complex that Eisenhower warned about decided we needed to view Russia as an Enemy in perpetuity in order to fill their contracts with UN and taxpayer money!
Iran is more complicated. Now that the USA has a say in the running of Venezuela, and are in talks with China and Cuba, business deals with the Saudi's and the UAE has dropped out of OPEC, Iran is less effective and has lost their place in the lucrative Black Market of embargoed oil.
Like it or not, the Global Economy is not going away. We could play the isolationist game, but we will never be able to put the Evil Genie back in the Bottle. The Greedy have already had a taste of foreign blood and deem it a market they don't want to give up.
Some of us know people in Israel who l have to constantly run to the bomb shelters due to incoming Hezbollah/IRGC funded rockets being launched from Lebanon. I also, knew a Lebanese family living in America because Lebanon had been taken over Christian persecutors.
So, there are many sides to these tumultuous land and resource battles that go on for Decades and Centuries. The premise of British Elites using the might of the American Military to enforce their interests, would explain why Britain willingly allowed their Military to all but disappear.
All the more reason to cease U.S. military operations anywhere other than the Western hemisphere.
Jeff, about social media and declining birth rates, I want to offer a small but meaningful tidbit of information. I live next to a thriving Amish community that has no media whatsoever, even the books are curated. For families with wives between the ages of 18 to 48, the average number of children per family is a whopping 9.5. Nine and a half kids per mother !!! 😱Granted, the lack of screens is just one factor. Then there is home grown food, raw milk, plenty of sunshine and hard work. An aversion to modern technology including fake medicine like the near religious worship of vaccines is also probably in their favor. And a devotion to God and family values might also help. Community life where everyone works toward the good of all and there is NO dog eat dog climb up the whatever ladder is probably another factor. Finally, rural farm life makes child rearing incredibly cheap. Have one or 12 … they don’t even notice the cost. Not so with English city folk. The cause of infertility is outline right here! You can’t prove me wrong. I’m holding the birth certificate receipts 😆😆😆
Amish don’t believe in nor use birth control.
Agree.
See? Socialism works… where profit is a secondary consideration. 😉
Don't be a gullible dumb a*s. Socialism typically relies on government power to enforce economic equality. The Amish actively avoid the state, refusing government welfare, Social Security, and unemployment benefits.
Amish families own their own farms, homes, and businesses. They participate heavily in the free market by producing goods (like furniture and quilts) to sell to non-Amish consumers for profit.
When disaster strikes or a family member is sick, the community steps in with unpaid labor and financial support. However, this is voluntary Christian charity, NOT government-mandated wealth redistribution or state ownership.
Their lifestyle—guided by their traditional church rules, or Ordnung—is rooted in Anabaptist Christian faith, not political ideology.
That's why I mentioned 'profit'. When a government goes socialist, that involves profit-seekers, sometimes by destroying them. As long as they exist, however, or as long as the profit motive exists anywhere in the vicinity, they exert a force analogous to an "anchor to windward" on the polity, a force that eventually slows an economy to a crawl and dooms the effort.
Contrast this with situations where profit is NOT an objective: convents and monasteries are easy examples; the Amish are another -- they live a communal life largely disconnected from the commercial world. In such environments, socialism, even communism, will work.
Add the profit motive to the mix, and it all goes to hell in a handbasket. Even the USSR couldn't pull it off. They ran The Great Socialist Experiment in near-laboratory conditions for 70+ years, and in the end they all went out dirty, wet, cold, and hungry.
Can socialism work? In the right environment, yes. Can it work in what we think of as "normal" environments? Not a chance.
I must agree face effing your phones IS one of the causes of lower fertility. The first time I saw how disruptive smart phones are was 20 years ago at an outdoor cafe in Munich. Near us was a young couple on what seemed to be a first date. While he stared at her awkwardly, I never saw her put her phone down. That has now become SoP. That said, there are certainly others, like the steadily declining sperm count deliberately engineered into our food and environment for decades. Woke is another, where so many women believe they no longer need a man. Publicly shaming "toxic masculinity" is another, so men say screw it, why bother chasing tail if all I get is humiliated most of the time. Add in Gate's infamous declaration at a conference that with effective use of vaccines, they can decrease the population by 10 %.
It has all been planned, of that I am certain.
Add in also the fact that FINDING someone who didn’t inject themselves with poison makes it difficult to even find a spouse that CAN procreate. We worried for our son these past years. It was extremely difficult to find a woman who wasn’t brainwashed. I will report that he did find someone with untainted blood, had an amazing God centered wedding last year, and we are now expecting our first grandchild. A grandson 🙌. It’s possible. But it’s more rare these days. God said to be fruitful and multiply at the beginning of mankind. The devil has perverted that ever since. So thankful our son and daughter in law practiced self control and approached their relationship from a biblical standard. And, they waited to procreate until after being married. Now we are celebrating!!!!
Excellent point I missed. I know even being well past procreation age, I would not want to date anyone who was jabbed due to all too real shedding. So happy your son's story had a happy ending. I donate to Safeblood / Blessed by His Blood, and ran into the "we don't want any blood transfusions" last week during my wife's reverse shoulder replacement. Had to explain it to 4 different people, and sign waivers.
Thank you. We are so excited!! That’s another one we’ve talked about! Blood transfusions. Gone are the days of trusting anyone’s blood. Wow. Good job on your part!!! Nothing is simple anymore.
https://www.blessedbyhisblood.com/apply/
You do not have to donate to be a member. It only works for a planned operation, as time is needed to find donors, donate, and send the blood. Best I have seen so far, and I know it works because I donated once. I looked for 2 years before someone on C&C posted this site and I investigated.
Thank you for reposting.
This looks great! I was looking through the FAQ and -do I understand correctly that they test the blood for MRNA but can’t determine yet if a covid injection specifically was had?
Correct. It is more an honor system backed up by as many "tells" as they can garner. Like organic food and wild caught fish, there are no guarantees. At least they are trying, which the Red Cross is doing the opposite.
Beautiful! Congratulations! My youngest just got engaged!
Congratulations!!!
Congratulations Granny! Just wait, you are going to fall in love like you never have before!
It. Is. Amazing! The moment they shared the news life changed. We are so excited to see him face to face. Already seeing his personality come out in his movements and busy times of day. It is so fun! 🤩 We told our son and daughter in law they will probably have to schedule time on the calendar to see their son! 😂
Congratulations Sunnydaze!
Thank you! 😊
Congratulations!
But I don't think they need to be religious fundamentalists to be non-WOKE. They can stop in the middle-ground between the WOKE extreme and the fundamentalist extreme. American society was full of middle-ground people back in the 50s. That era produced the Baby Boom.
We are middle ground. I believe in a higher power, and strive to live my life in a way that is both responsible and does not seek to injure others. My relationship with that higher power is mine and is not preached in every third sentence, but accepting of those who feel the need to do so. Just know that if your child tells my child they will go to a fiery death if they don't join your group, I look at you as I do the radical Left, telling me that boys can be girls. The Fire and Brimstone is not appealing, no matter the side it.
Exactly, Lisa. There is a whole lot of middle-ground without having to enter the danger-zones of either extreme. Being more and more extremely WOKE does not make a person more virtuously progressive. Neither does being more and more virtuously fundamentalist in religion make a person more moral/holy. Both groups have a big blindspot there.
YES! There is Fire and Brimstone at both the far-rightwing and the far-leftwing. This is preached in both cases in order to induce fear, which then leads to control by the fear-preachers. Just as inducing fear was meant to lead to control by those who were the fear-inducers in COVID-mania. Same scam all around.
The authorities on both extreme sides want your soul and your subservience. Beat them by refusing to fall into the traps of either-side extremism. Reach for the middle ground of Homeostasis (someone here once told me they thought being in the middle meant being wishy-washy about your faith......which was a total misinterpretation of this principle).
I would like to have seen a graph that showed diminishing fertility rates on an even basis. This graph went from 1984 to 1992 to 2019. The first interval is 8 years while the second is 27 years! That seems deceptive to me. So we have 3.1% shift in 8 years and 7.2% shift in more than three times that period. I’m not saying the decline isn’t concerning, but fancy graphs need to be read carefully. Furthermore, with all the sexual perversions being pushed, abortion being glorified in the media, and the “fear for the future” bias screamed at us, no wonder the rates have declined. I foresee a greater and greater turning to God, which will naturally reverse the trend. Those having babies tend to be believers.
Good points!
Also pushing the idea that having children is too expensive and too hard, so why even bother 😕
My niece is getting married this summer. Her and her fiancé both Christians don’t want children. They are both in their late 20’s. His Mom told him he would never find a Christian woman who didn’t want kids. He did 🫤
They could change their mind. Keep praying. 🙏
Yes I agree. A lot can change in a few years.
When I married my wife, she did not want children, and our daughter frequently threw that in her face. She did not even want to get married. Fiercely independent, but no feminist. I had to bribe her with a honeymoon my parents paid for, and agree not to tell our friends we weren't just living together anymore. For a year, no one figured it out. Needless to say, no wedding presents from anyone but immediate family.
One of my daughters started with that opinion. Now she’s married and talking about having children.
Plus, WiFi? 4-5G as a factor?
I would say "covered" as a now environmental factor, because you cannot avoid it. Remember the rollout of5 G towers was considered essential during the scamdemic.
I have wondered.
Don't forget the slop of "doing your part to stop the overpopulation of the earth to preserve it's limited resources" badge of honor. Now the libs are turning on Chrisitians who have babies with sneering condemnation. I know many youngeters who won't have kids due to state of the world and overpopulation.
Doesn't seem to bother them when muslims or hispanics have basketball teams of babies.
Who is planning this, I’d like to know.
The usual suspects. The globalists have not even hidden their depopulation agenda for decades.
Agree with you rolandttg, and what was it all about with those Georgia Guidestones (I think that is what they were called) for the depopulation of the earth. Then the Guidestones got blown up… by who? And why?
Recently read someone thought Ted Turner put them up. White Hats took them down with a DEW, laser or microwave. The why should be obvious. Not going to let this happen was the clear message.
The Globalists of the British Network. They have been around in one form of another since the Fall of Rome 2000 years ago.
I am certain of it too. I smelled a rat back in my girlhood, when the obnoxious illogical, ideology of feminism was being pushed so vehemently.
They never got me!
But neither am I the other type of extremist - religious fundamentalist.
Did everyone notice how donations to Democrats dropped dramatically when USAID was shut down and could no longer deliver to their NGOs? USAID filled the trough for that party, and now the faucet has been turned off.
If speed of takedown is any measure, Trump 2.0 knew USAID was the head of the financial snake. As Jeff points out, the fall of Actblue is dramatic too.
https://judiciary.house.gov/media/press-releases/new-report-reveals-illicit-foreign-donations-and-mass-resignations-actblue
It sure is. Good. The faster it hurts them, the better.
But has it been turned off? There are lawsuits and some judges halted the shut off of funds.
But I don’t believe the money is being moved.
These Libtards deserve the moniker. They are apparently oblivious to the fact that their actions run totally opposite to their stated policies. Take their hatred for Monarchies... After nationwide "NO KINGS" marches (funded by a Libtard billionaire) these clowns stood like barking and clapping sea lions, unilaterally giving the King of England a standing ovation during his visit to Congress. Stupid is as stupid does...
Good Morning everyone!
Yes, it is a good morning here.
Glad to hear it, Dave
Happy drizzly Tuesday morning all! ☔️Had over 3.5” in the last few days….
Check your sump pumps!
We need rain! We got two downpours for abt 15 minutes yesterday - the ground soaked it up like a dry sponge.... And still looks dusty!
🙏🏻☔️💦
Lucky you ! We haven’t had rain in weeks and are experiencing a severe drought in Savannah.
I’d send it your way if I could… gonna start growing 🍄🟫🍄🍄🟫
Good morning Shayne!
Truthfully, I have to say back to you, good afternoon, Karmy. 🤣 It's been a full day.
Wow- great post today! Feeling optimistic for midterms— ☺️
The phones in the bedroom are a real problem. My husband & I are guilty of this ourselves. I’ve been seeing Reels promoting landline type holders for your cell phones. The idea is that when you are done with your phone you “hang it up” on the wall by placing it in a little holder. This could be in the kitchen, laundry room etc.. anything but the bedroom! And, yes, that means buying a regular alarm clock —- gasp! 😂 can’t wait to see my hubbys face when I announce this household change at the dinner table!
Maybe introduce the idea dressed in a negligée.
😆 That would probably increase the effectiveness 😛
🤣
I’ve read where having phones in the bedroom affect sleep
Patterns due to EMF.
Exactly. If you want to stay healthy - remove the phone from the bedroom.
I have a phone charging station in the living room and a clock radio.
Anytime I travel or go to a hotel and the phone is by the bed, I'm clicking right before I shut my eyes and immediately again first thing in the morning. It is almost impossible to resist when it is right there.
