The Times cheerleads Iran's civilian bombings as 'strategy' while calling one US accident a war crime; Florida voting bill, SAVE Act; the Ninth Circuit's most explicit, R-rated dissent ever; and more.
I only wish Thune and the Republicans were as determined, ruthless and calculating when doing what is good and right for America and Americans as the Democrats are when doing what is wrong, bad and evil for America and Americans!
I left the Senator another VM just now. “You have a choice. Remain a slime ball or become a hero. Require the talking filibuster. Pass the SAVE act.” Y’all call. 866-850-3855.
They do, just look at the many highly funded NGOs that are focused on destroying the US from within - we could abolish poverty and hunger!
Trump's POTUS campaigns have all been underfunded compared to his DNC opponents. It's fascinating - this last election he finally had more tech bros financially supporting him.
Hillary left him in the dust, financially. I'm still in shock that he beat the beast🤣
To suggest (not that you are doing so; this is a general, broad statement on my part) that the Republicans don't "play the game" as well as the Dems, or that they are "lazy" - is understatement.
There are some GOOD politicians out there. ("Good" defined as reasonable, honest, willing to seek truth and sharp enough to recognize it. Certainly more adjectives apply...)
Problem is, there are not ENOUGH "good" politicians.
Forget the Republicans, who are and have been useless for the last 80 years. The the ONLY consideration for doing anything at this stage of Trump's second term is winning the midterms. After holding or gaining we could have bombed anybody we liked. Now his entire presidency and legacy, and everything he's accomplished in every other area, depends on success in Iran.
At least Judgement Day will reveal Truth and impose Accountability. An alternate view of the events in Minab, given in this interview (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tKW17kQKRY), is worth considering -- it starts at 53:45 (w/poetry) and 55:33 (w/o poetry).
Jeff said "errant missile" with a double tap strike?
"Albert Pike had promised his Masonic allies in Europe that they would have three world wars to consolidate the world power of the Canaanites. We have now seen two of those world wars, and, as promised, the first world war was to set up a Communist regime, the second world war was to raise it to the status of a world power, and the third world war is planned to destroy both Communism and Christianity in a great orgy of annihilation. This coming war is intended to be the final death knell of the people of Shem; after its conclusion the Canaanites will reign unchallenged throughout the world."
Every once in a while, instead of simply accepting something is true I have this irrepressible tendency to find out if something is true. My therapist blames you....at least in part.
Florida Democrats ALL voting against proof of U.S. citizenship.....I mean, c'mon....Are you fence sitting constituent globulars getting it yet? We're not North Korea. This isn't exactly an earth shattering appeal.
Their concern about "out-of-state students in Florida who do not drive" is silly. How do they think those students enrolled in college? Maybe they had to have some form of ID, like a *birth certificate*!
I would think that “out-of-state students” by definition means they are not considered “residents” of the state, so are they even allowed to vote in the state’s elections anyway? I wouldn’t think so. The esteemed State Senator from Boca seems to be worried about a situation that likely doesn’t even exist.
Here in Georgia, students from out of state vote. In a huge college town like Athens, I have read that University of Georgia students who hail from other places in the state vote and help keep the local government very blue indeed.
I didn't understand that sentence, about out-of-state students. Why would someone who doesn't live in Florida be voting in a Florida election? If it's a general election, why wouldn't they use mail-in ballots. Sorry for being dense; I've had a long, rough week.
Join me on a journey to a shivering place brimming with warmpth, by Louisa May Alcott
Dear Merrys: I want to tell you about a New Year's breakfast which I had when I was a little girl. What do you think it was?
A slice of dry bread and an apple. This is how it happened, and it is a true story, every word.
As we came down to breakfast that morning, with very shiny faces and spandy clean aprons, we found father alone in the dining-room.
"Happy New Year, papa! Where is mother?" we cried.
"A little boy came begging and said they were starving at home, so your mother went to see and—ah, here she is."
As papa spoke, in came mamma, looking very cold, rather sad, and very much excited.
"Children, don't begin till you hear what I have to say," she cried; and we sat staring at her, with the breakfast untouched before us.
"Not far away from here, lies a poor woman with a little new-born baby. Six children are huddled into one bed to keep from freezing, for they have no fire. There is nothing to eat over there; and the oldest boy came here to tell me they were starving this bitter cold day. My little girls, will you give them your breakfast, as a New Year's gift?"
We sat silent a minute, and looked at the nice, hot porridge, creamy milk, and good bread and butter; for we were brought up like English children, and never drank tea or coffee, or ate anything but porridge for our breakfast.
"I wish we'd eaten it up," thought I, for I was rather a selfish child, and very hungry.
"I'm so glad you come before we began," said Nan, cheerfully.
"May I go and help carry it to the poor, little children?" asked Beth, who had the tenderest heart that ever beat under a pinafore.
"I can carry the lassy pot," said little May, proudly giving the thing she loved best.
"And I shall take all the porridge," I burst in, heartily ashamed of my first feeling.
"You shall put on your things and help me, and when we come back, we'll get something to eat," said mother, beginning to pile the bread and butter into a big basket.
We were soon ready, and the procession set out. First, papa, with a basket of wood on one arm and coal on the other; mamma next, with a bundle of warm things and the teapot; Nan and I carried a pail of hot porridge between us, and each a pitcher of milk; Beth brought some cold meat, May the "lassy pot," and her old hood and boots; and Betsey, the girl, brought up the rear with a bag of potatoes and some meal.
Fortunately it was early, and we went along back streets, so few people saw us, and no one laughed at the funny party.
What a poor, bare, miserable place it was, to be sure,—broken windows, no fire, ragged clothes, wailing baby, sick mother, and a pile of pale, hungry children cuddled under one quilt, trying to keep warm. How the big eyes stared and the blue lips smiled as we came in!
"Ah, mein Gott! it is the good angels that come to us!" cried the poor woman, with tears of joy.
"Funny angels, in woollen hoods and red mittens," said I; and they all laughed.
Then we fell to work, and in fifteen minutes, it really did seem as if fairies had been at work there. Papa made a splendid fire in the old fireplace and stopped up the broken window with his own hat and coat. Mamma set the shivering children round the fire, and wrapped the poor woman in warm things. Betsey and the rest of us spread the table, and fed the starving little ones.
"Das ist gute!" "Oh, nice!" "Der angel—Kinder!" cried the poor things as they ate and smiled and basked in the warm blaze. We had never been called "angel-children" before, and we thought it very charming, especially I who had often been told I was "a regular Sancho."
What fun it was! Papa, with a towel for an apron, fed the smallest child; mamma dressed the poor little new-born baby as tenderly as if it had been her own. Betsey gave the mother gruel and tea, and comforted her with assurance of better days for all. Nan, Lu, Beth, and May flew about among the seven children, talking and laughing and trying to understand their funny, broken English.
It was a very happy breakfast, though we didn't get any of it; and when we came away, leaving them all so comfortable, and promising to bring clothes and food by and by, I think we were not less uplifted and healed in spirit than any hungry little girls who ever gave away their breakfast, and contented themselves with a bit of dry bread and an apple on a New Year's day.

My eyes are teary too! I am sitting in a ballet studio watching 2 of my grandchildren in their ballet class. I am babysitting because their mama just gave birth to her 6th child. The story about the needy family helped by the Alcott family really helped me realize how blessed my grandchildren are. Grandpa and I will need to figure out a way our grandchildren might be able to help a needy family!
Right? It’s one of the greatest gifts you can ever give to your child, that selfless experience to remember the rest of their lives. It’s the one tool that molds the character like no other. If you truly love your children/grandchildren, you want to give them the greatest gifts in life, right? No wonder your mind is immediately wondering how you can find a way for them to help a needy family. That’s how much you love them. ❤️
Thank you for this wonderful story. Just what I needed to hear. Just heart wrenching to see the next several lines of comments. I will sing praises to the Lord instead of continuing with all the rest of the thread.
Six years ago today began the covid death alarm in my neck of the woods. Our annual church fish fry was canceled at noon on this date. Pounds of thawing fish and staples for putting on this dinner had to be thrown out or given away. It was the start of the journey that brought me here, though it would be a year later. On the 16th, the restaurants in my state were shut down. Churches were closed, schools closed, and workers sent home. Days later we were on full lockdown/shelter-in-place. The evil of the scamdemic was unleashed. I will never forget!
I think people want to forget because they now realize they were intentionally panicked into hysterical reactions. In short, they are embarrassed and would just as soon forget, or try to…..
I was following the novel virus in Nov 2019...in April 2020, my governor mandated that leaving the state meant that you would have to quarantine for 10 days....That was it for me...Returned to my monthly MD-MA trips...The first time I left the state, I wondered whether there would be cops stopping cars coming and going....no....there was a designer virus with a targeted victim but everything else was a psyop for which most American failed terribly....indicative that there are too many people who are too trusting and too dependent on others to do their thinking for them.
I will never forget how terrified I was when driving an hour and a half to visit my grandkids (we didn’t stop) and passing all the STAY HOME STAY SAFE and DON’T KILL GRANDMA highway signs and Very few other cars. I was afraid we’d be thrown into a camp!! I UTTERLY LOATHE THESE PEOPLE
When in MA, around Thanksgiving, I had to his my car in their garage. The local police were going around and knocking on doors of houses with what they thought were too many cars…the fine was $500 a person…some people blacked over garage windows….It was nazi Germany like….
NYC - my home from age 20 to 59 - announced the implementation of 'measures' on March 12, 2020, start the upcoming week.
In the space of 36 hours I had given away 99% of all my possessions and on the morning of Saturday the 14th I found myself at JFK boarding a 12 nonstop flight to Honolulu.
I have never looked back.
P.S. At this moment in my personal history I had already spent a year living a slow-burn mid-life transition to the unknown.
The insane bureaucrats did the heavy lifting for me.
Every story, from men invading a women-only spa to not questioning why a young girl’s school would be at a navy base and open during war, are signs of the deep-state-creeps.
Their immorality and hate for females is alway one of their calling cards.
I can believe that because the deep state is known by their actions. This group might be in every country and by the actions of Israel, and the US, I’d say they were in both.
Chaos, depravity, injustice, enslaving the populace with through money and radical religions are their calling cards.
I look past any division they try to foist on us and go straight to their actions.
Says the person who supports every war that comes their way. You have nothing to stand on as someone who supported the iraq disaster. Sit down and try listening for once.
Even Yeshua called people like you “Vipers. Hypocrites’.
Your particular pet demon is one that just loves planting seeds.
Like the idiots who plant Bradford Pear trees.
They don’t bother to find out where they’re from or how harmful/poisonous they are, how bad the blooms smell and how invasive they are.
Those beautiful trees come from Asia, where many, many invasive species come from.
Those beautiful trees smell putrid when in bloom.
These trees are infertile.
These trees can cause REAL pear trees to cease bearing fruit.
i.e. they too become infertile.
And it can be just one drop of pollen from bird poop (you) or from a bees wings into a pear farm full of pear trees miles and miles away and can devastate the entire crop.
“They are just so beautiful!”
They build roots deep underground and pop up another tree, acres away.
I compare people like you to the snake in the garden who said “He didn’t really say that you would actually die, did He?”
And the seed of that snake was planted in the woman, and here we are.
Your entity enjoys, as do all these entities, using you to attempt to destroy good things, good thoughts. Destroy Hope.
I can well imaging you grinning in your easy chair when you drop one of your seeds, while Zero almost has a stroke when he drops his pile-0-poop, stinking up the entire place.
Both of you are controlled opposition, held in the claws of some ‘thing’…..’same thing’?
"ordering" - sure, whatever. I think its far past time these people who supported the iraq disaster shut up and try listening to those of us who got it right.
You’re a zero Johnny. Your Islamist pedophilic religion is satanic. And you deserve everything that’s coming your way.
We all do.
But I do hope that you will repent .
I read a report , one that you will hate because you love to hate so much. Not an ounce of joy, never can a truth escape your hatred. What a sad, pitiful way to live.
I did find this post very interesting and informative. My default is always the spiritual.
There is sacred masculinity which honors and protects women & children and toxic masculinity which takes what it wants.
If we look at the native Americans raising of men, they taught self sacrifice to gain strength. A vision quest to activate the internal.
Ceremonies at the correct time to activate rights of passage into a masculine adult world. This came with responsibilities that were clear in the tribe.
Today we have only entitlement. At a certain age, you’re entitled to drive, to smoke, to drink. I don’t see the same self sacrifice and responsibility toward the tribe happening in our society.
I don’t see the clear cut responsibilities of the sacred masculinity, only rights of passage into toxic masculinity perpetuated by our colleges.
We have a spiritual problem in our culture, and I don’t mean religion, I mean, inner guidance from our intuition, our soul.
Character is not revered in our culture. Yeah it’s the thing that will save us.
It turns out that the DeepState are the British monarchy and their pedophilic ‘elites. They have been looting our treasury since 1913. President Trump is cutting ties with them.
Johnny Zero Is an Islamist who is inbred with a deep hatred of everything ‘Israel/Jew’. You will notice his mantra is ALWAYS accusing Israel or Jews.
Look at a world map and ask yourself, why? Israel is only 8 miles wide at some points. It is actually smaller than New Hampshire. It is surrounded by an ocean filled with Muslims that want to destroy her.
His hatred comes from ancient times. These entities breed this hater into their children from birth.
Bard is another.
I cannot take anything they say as being true, as they are taught to lie from birth. Their propaganda is nasty.
We need to call the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruling in the Olympus Spa v. Armstrong case what it actually is: misogyny. Pure and simple. With a little racism and religious bigotry thrown in for good measure. That sicko just wanted to make those women look at his private parts, and our courts ruled that he gets his perverted way. Would be a real shame if something happened to him. Come the revolution ....
Funny how they can’t figure it out when you don’t see women fighting to get into men’s spaces. It’s lust and wanting to see naked women plain and simple.
Not only that, but the sick pleasure of forcing a woman who is uncomfortable to have to get close to that genitalia to do their job. It’s absolutely sick.
So my first reaction would be to point & laugh. Ridicule and derision would be my weapons of choice. But then that might trigger his delicate sensibilities and he could get violent....that's when the hot paraffin wax would be my last line of defense.....😡😡😡
What if we could have a law requiring mentally ill men to surgically remove all evidence of their “maleness” before they are allowed access to female spaces? That would separate the pervs from the sickos pretty quickly. Require them to knife up or shut up!
Before getting further down in the reading I burst out laughing about the immediate hypocritical irony in Judge Mc-owns-himself, writing about vulgarity etc, slapping Judge Van-Dick’s obviously large pointed argument. Fortunately he inserted the length of the argument below which blew Mc-owns-himself argument right in his face... Sorry couldn't help myself
WA is clearly targeting small business owners. The underpinning to this case is that we have bureaucracy punishing everyone. Notice this is all through fines imposed by agencies. There are countless abuses of all sorts designed to punish people making home improvements or opening up businesses and it is getting worse. Now if you hire someone to babysit for more than 4 hours a month, you will need a written contract and are responsible for fair workplace practices.
It is I suppose misogeny, but it is also so much more.It is intended to vex and humiliate--that is the point. It is, one might say, the built-in feature.
Lydia… yes to “come the revolution”… one truly justified revolution for me would be a plan in that spa dressing room… “C’mon girls, hold’m down, arms, legs and sit on him… got my lidocaine, surgical scissors and sutures… he wants to pretend he’s a woman, let’s take’m off…”
My oldest sister had a lumpectomy yesterday as a result of her mammogram showing Stage 1 breast cancer. My other sister got breast cancer in 2022, and had one breast removed. My brother got esophageal cancer in 2024, went through chemo and is now cancer-free. All three were vaxxed and boosted. No family history of cancer. Neither parent had cancer. But it's probably just a coincidence. My other sister and I are the only two out of seven siblings who didn't take the jab. No regrets.
Jeanne, there has been some great info being shared re cancer treatments, such as ivermectin, fenbendazole & apricot kernels (you can get those off Amazon- in whole or capsule form). 2nd Smartest Guy has info on those.
They tend to set the mammograms & ultrasounds to too-high levels that can cause cancer themselves. High ultrasounds can also damage developing fetuses. Just fyi A Midwestern Doctor has some great info on that.
Not that simple. Plus, if anyone truly listened to him, he called Ivermectin and HCQ a vaccine, as well as all but spelling it out that no one should want to be put on a ventilator. Only since the plandemic has anti vaxxing perhaps become a majority position. People would have gone nuts if he said anything against jabs. And for the umpteenth time, would you have preferred 5 years of lockdowns, and then still get (almost if not all the real deal hot shots) jabs, or what he did. There was no "never mind, let's just go back to the way it was " option.
Trump should have sued pharma for breach of contract....the contract must have called for a safe and effective vaccine...both of which were not fulfilled by pharma....but remember the times....among other things, it was released from Wuhan (imho) when it was to get rid of Trump....otherwise they would have continued to work on its lethality,..
Everyone has such a simplistic view of how to legally lock up people in a country with individual rights...That said, Trump is a nice guy and needs a brutal hatchet man but even that person will be stymied by the disloyalists in the threatened deep state....Why are there no leaks in Trump 2.0? Because everything is compartmented to just loyalists....the rest of the entrenched staff works in the dark...
We know exactly how the Times got those pictures...Iranian propagandists know which news outlets around the world gobble that stuff up without pausing to confirm details and they waste no time using them to further their agenda. On the other hand, the Times' business model is not news, it's to pander to its base, and it will continue to do so until someone in the WH has a D behind his/her/their name...it's no big mystery.
Why is it never a trans-male (a woman without a swinging dick) that is initiating these legal shit shows inside a clown car with a bunch of woke judges?
Why? Because transgenderism is a mental disorder of men that allows the pedophile man access to little girls. That is it. End of discussion.
Have read that the "trans" phenomena is often a result of of a person (or influential persons around him) not willing to admit he/she is homosexual. Easier to pretend he/she is just the other sex?
True or not, it is a mental disorder which oddly enough mostly resolves itself after adolescence (much like the previous plague of anorexia) and anecdotally at least, largely targets kids "on the spectrum".
The one to show that brain damage is the true cause is the one where a mid40s man decided he was a woman, so transed himself, then declared he was a lesbian to stay true to his wife. The mental juggling taking place there..... unbelievable. I just don't understand why the wife would stay, unless it is somehow contagious.
Jeff, I am no fan of the NYT, and their coverage is what it is.....obviously pure, unadulterated "news" isn't on the menu, and has not been for a long time, if it ever was. Having said that, the larger, more obvious point, is that the deaths of the school girls, and the hundreds of thousands of other civilian deaths in the Middle East in the last few decades, are all the result of American meddling in countries that simply aren't our problem, whether we are engaging in "decapitation", full blown regime change, or "building democracy". The end result is ALWAYS the same: massive death and destruction of the country/culture/people we are "helping", thousands of American casualties whether death, wounded or PTSD, and immense cost to the US taxpayers, and an exponential increase in terrorism. That is why I, and tens of millions of good, hard-working patriotic American citizens, many veterans like myself, voted for TRUMP: remember the NO NEW WARS???? So yes, you can quibble about the wording of the NYT article, but the fact is that their blood is on our (and Israel's) hands, this was 100% unavoidable and unnecessary , this is 100% a war of choice, serving no American national security interest, and the only beneficiary is Israel. Trump/Rubio et al. have destroyed the MAGA coalition either through sheer stupidity, hubris, or some nefarious intentions I don’t even want to get into. The net result will be that the Republicans will be wiped out in the mid-terms, and the (perhaps) last-best chance to reclaim this country lost.
I beg to differ. Had we done nothing Iran most definitely would have done something and then you’d have a war far messier with millions more casualties. We would have been blamed for our complacency in light of the intelligence had we done nothing. Aren’t our problem? Iran was EVERYBODY’S problem but there were only two countries with the power and strength to stop them.
This hasn’t fractured MAGA the way you think it has, the way you wish it would.
“Trump/Rubio et al. have destroyed the MAGA coalition either through sheer stupidity, hubris, or some nefarious intentions I don’t even want to get into.” Nobody who voted for Trump believes this or would talk like this. God you guys are soooo obvious as your words give you away.
Do you work for The NY Times? You seem to use the same exact same strategies to undermine this presidency. I bet you’ve got an expert in your pocket …
And you must watch MSNBC/CNN to believe your crap. 🤷🏼♀️ … time will tell as it always does. Truth ALWAYS rises to the surface no matter how much b.s. is being stirred into the pot
Read the room, JuJu. Once in a while, get out of the echo chamber, and simply listen before you stamp your feet and scream. What I’m “reporting” is from family, friends, acquaintances, the bars I frequent, and the street. There is close to ZERO support for this war. Many will tolerate it. Many will grumble, but soldier on. Many actively, vocally oppose it. I’m in Michigan. It’s a purple state. It will swing back blue in November. Trump & Co. have lost most of the Arab, all of the Moslem, many of the Catholics, 30-40% of the veterans, much of the Hispanic, and much of the young “Charlie Kirk” vote. Most of them (like me) will not go out to vote D in November, but will either stay home, or vote 3d party. The Republicans will be wiped out in November absent a massive change in attitude that I don’t see coming so long as Kutcher, Witkoff, Wiles, Rubio et al. remain in the administration and keep doing what they are doing. Yes, I did vote for Trump, twice, but would never consider voting for him again. We got rug-pulled. My sister, who votes every 20 years, voted for Trump in 2024, because 1) Kamala was worse 2) No new wars (her husband is VietNam USMC veteran and was in horrible situations, 3) transparency on the pedophiles(Epstein). Kamala was and is and always will be a shit show, but Trump has failed us in most other ways. We got a closed border (good) and Bobby Kennedy (good, but he is hamstringed by Trump And Wiles). Fauci is still free, Big Pharma is still running free at the White House, tens of billions of dollars are being spent defending Israel and creating more terrorists by unprovoked, indiscriminate attacks, etc.
I’m having the same exact experience as you BUT seeing overwhelming support for the war and the administration. Hmmmm - you want others here to believe you’re the majority? Wholly untrue, a psyop.
“Read the room”? You mean the one that is being flooded by ill-informed propagandists? Who see Jeff’s influence as a threat and so feel a need to desperately counteract it? The one with the reading problem is you.
We have ALL seen the same arguments on both sides of this issue and just as many of us decided your opinions and views are the weakest and the most misleading. I don’t need to sit here and counterpoint everything you say in a detailed list. Smart people here already know enough to disagree with you and I don’t have to publicly win a debate with you since I’m not trying to pull people away from a particular opinion they have formed the way you guys are.
Obviously the New York Times is a propaganda rag that hates Trump and will paint every action in the worst possible light. So what? That doesn't negate the fact that the US/Israel started this, attacked a sovereign nation, and massively screwed up. The longer the US takes in coming clean and apologizing the worse this becomes.
This girl's school bombing is poison for multiple reasons. First off, it reinforces the notion that this entire attack was incredibly reckless and poorly planned. Second, the administration's equivocating and conflicting answers makes it look untrustworthy. But most important, it makes the US look no better than Israel, i.e. we'll just kill whoever gets in our way. Attempting to explain it away through technicalities just makes things worse.
We elected Trump specifically NOT to do this. He said no new wars and we (foolishly in hindsight) believed him. Yes he is still far better than what we would have gotten from Kamala, but the level of betrayal is real. The other day Trump stated, "Jared Kushner told me Iran was going to attack us." Are you freaking kidding me? Hopefully he didn't start this war based on the word of his corrupt, obviously conflicted, Jewish son in law. Hopefully he was just squirming and looking to blame someone for this looming fiasco.
Every day this goes on the worse it gets for the US. While I appreciate Jeff Childers eternal optimism, not everything is 5-D chess, sometimes Trump just royally screws up. A good percentage of Trumps base are furious, and I can guarantee pretty much no one who voted for Kamala will vote GOP because of this. Unless things change quickly, November will be a wipe out with the GOP losing 50 seats. Voters will stay home, and who can blame them? On a signature promise "NO NEW WARS" they were betrayed. Even worse they were betrayed on behalf of a foreign country.
“A good percentage of Trumps base are furious,” the only ones I see are the ones that let the leftist propaganda sway them, being more critical of the administration than the faulty reporting they are being fed. Weak minds and all that …
Trump ALWAYS said he’d bomb Iran if it became necessary. Every. Stinking. Rally. You just heard what you wanted to hear when he said No New Wars and chose to ignore everything else he said about the military. He has not gone back on his word.
And Iran is not a new war and it’s been going on endlessly for decades. He’s ending it. Not starting it. That’s a messy engagement and why so many weaklings before him avoided it and opted to drop YOUR tax dollars into the laps of terrorist. And open our borders to their sleeper cells. God forbid you look at it from that angle.
Trump said No New Wars and meant it, but he ALSO was VERY clear that if one were ever necessary it would be handled differently than all the clowns that came before him. It wouldn’t become endless. We would win. Decisively. And we are.
I’m tired of fools like you trying to undermine the truth of the matter. Trump isn’t splitting MAGA, YOU are.
Juju - while I appreciate your comments, you are the one splitting hairs. Trump campaigned on "no new wars" and we took him at his word. There was no asterisk with fine print that said "unless I change my mind and start a war but supposedly do it differently from Bush".
You are correct in that Trump has long stated his opposition to Iran getting nuclear weapons (something they have somehow been two months away from for thirty years). But that doesn't give him carte blanche to start a new war when he specifically campaigned against it. If he had campaigned on a bombing campaign with Israel he probably would not have won. My 18 and 21 year old sons both voted for Trump because they believed him when he said he would not do this. They are hardly alone.
And despite all the sunshine that's being pumped up people's butts, things are not going well. The regime is still in power and the Iranian people did not rise up as expected. The US is quickly running out of both munitions and defensive weapons. Oil is at $95/barrel and the Strait of Hormuz is closed. The stock market is down about 5% as people realize this may cause a sever recession. Trump is trying to get Iran to negotiate using Oman as an intermediary, but the regime has told him to go pound sand. They know time is on their side.
We've long traded amicable comments yet today your comment toward me is openly hostile, accusing me (some unknown guy typing on a keyboard) of "splitting MAGA". I wish I had that kind of power. I'd suggest your emotional reaction stems from cognitive dissonance in trying to reconcile Trump's actions with his promises.
My comment is typed with disappointment in someone I have often agreed with over the past two years. This is a hill I will die on. I will call out those actively trying to split our party and trusting the propaganda MORE than our own administration. It’s sickening.
To understand what is happening and where this is going, we must truly understand the "religious" goals of Netanyahu and his merry band of Zionists. Furthermore, and this is important, we must understand the religious belief of the Shia Islamic population of Iran and I don't see anyone doing that except for Armstrong. What we are fed by the press and the USG is ALL propaganda by definition as it is in any war. What we are TOLD by our own countrymen who are Zionists is also not to be trusted. This is a religious war.
QUESTION: Do you think that Netanyahu has deliberately dragged Trump into his war? It has been his life’s mission to destroy Iran, whom he sees as the Amalek of 1 Samuel 15:2-3!
RB
ANSWER: I believe that the Neocons have cleverly created the FIRST war where we are NOT in charge. Netanyahu is a diehard Neocon, who hung out with Irving Kristol in Philadelphia, who was the godfather of the Neocon movement. To me, this is a serious RED FLAG!!!!!
...If Netanyahu believes that genocide is the command of God, that is NOT in the self-interest of the United States. He knows you cannot accomplish regime change from the air. This is the very first time when we are in a partnership with another country who is really calling the shots here where the interests of Netanyahu are by no means the same national interest of the United States.
.....Killing the Ayatollah on day one was a clear message that there is to be no peace with Iran. This is all about the total destruction of the Islamic Republic.
Trump has been implying the use of nuclear weapons. On FEBRUARY 28, 2026 POST-STRIKE, Trump said:
“We have capabilities Iran cannot imagine. If they retaliate, there will be nothing left.”
Here is my concern. Israel has nukes and already believes that they must utterly destroy the Islamic Republic.
....We are by no means in charge of this war. Netanyahu would love nothing more than to see Trump commit American ground troops. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt on March 8th refused to rule out ground troops or a military draft. The Neocons know Trump well. They know he does not like to lose so dragging him into this war was their brilliant strategy to ensure that he will see this until the end.
End Times Armageddon
To the Shia Muslims, this is a battle against the devil. Netanyahu has ensured killing the Ayatollah has invoked their end times views just as he has done the same. This appears to be a religious war that does not look good. It does not appear to be over quickly either.
With all due respect, while you say this action is "serving no American national security interest," others refer to it as a necessary military interdiction...necessary because a country with oft stated hostile intentions continues to arm itself with the very weapons necessary to carry out its threats.
I would suggest that it comes down to whether one chooses to believe Iran's clearly stated intentions, or whether one chooses to assume that it's all bluster and that there's nothing to worry about.
When has Iran attacked us? Proxy groups have attacked US interests in the region, but we have had multiple wars there for decades now - what should we expect? Our CIA also supports and props up its own terrorist groups throughout the region. We can't have it both ways.
When has Iran attacked us??????? Check this out........Johnny:
November 1979-January 1981: Iranian students — with the backing of Tehran — take 66 Americans hostage at the U.S. Embassy in Tehran.
April 1983: A suicide car bombing kills 63 people, including 17 Americans, at the U.S. Embassy in Beirut. The Iran-backed terrorist group Islamic Jihad, a precursor and early branch of Hezbollah (not to be confused with Palestinian Islamic Jihad), claims responsibility.

December 1983: Hezbollah operatives drive an explosives-filled dump truck through the gates of the U.S. Embassy in Kuwait City. No Americans are harmed.
March 1984: Terrorists kidnap CIA station chief William Buckley in Beirut, subsequently torturing and ultimately killing him in 1985. Islamic Jihad claims responsibility.
December 1984: Hezbollah terrorists hijack Kuwait Airways Flight 221 on its way from Kuwait to Pakistan and divert it to Tehran, killing two American officials from the U.S. Agency for International Development.
June 1985: Hezbollah terrorists hijack TWA Flight 847 en route from Athens to Rome and kill a U.S. Navy diver.
July 1989: Hezbollah operatives kill U.S. Marine Corps Col. William Higgins after kidnapping him the previous year while on a United Nations peacekeeping mission in southern Lebanon.
April 1995: An explosives-laden van crashes into a bus near Kfar Darom in the Gaza Strip, killing one American and seven Israelis. Palestinian Islamic Jihad claims responsibility.
August 1995: A Hamas suicide bomber blows up a bus in the Ramat Eshkol neighborhood of Jerusalem, killing an American and three other passengers and wounding more than 100.
February 1996: A Hamas suicide bomber blows up a Jerusalem bus, killing three Americans and wounding three other Americans. A total of 26 people die in the attack.
March 1996: A suicide bomber blows up the Dizengoff shopping center in Tel Aviv, wounding two Americans. Twenty people die and 75 others are injured in the attack. Both Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad claim responsibility.
May 1996: Gunmen kill an American-Israeli dual citizen in the community of Beit El in the West Bank. Another U.S. citizen and three Israelis are wounded. No group claims responsibility, but Israel suspects Hamas or Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
June 1996: A truck carrying 5,000 pounds of explosives blows up the Khobar Towers, a U.S. Air Force housing complex in the Saudi Arabian town of Khobar. Nineteen Americans die and some 500 people are injured. The Iran-backed Hezbollah Al Hijaz, a terrorist group in Saudi Arabia, is deemed responsible.

You MUST go to the SOURCE.....Johnny! Like a cancer.
No New Wars? You think this is a “New War?” I don’t think anyone on this feed is excited about this. But there are those that know we are rooting out evil. I was told many years ago, that the ones responsible for moving out negative energies are those that know how to and are capable of it. Do we stand by and let this hostile regime constantly fund terrorism, attack Christianity, target western civilization because we are supposed to play nice? If we are doing such a bad thing, why are not the nations surrounding Iran, all Muslim nations, not banding together and rising up against the United States? You do not think they are in on it and encouraged this nation to help them remove the evil that was living next door to them? Do we not all want peace? If there is a bully in the playground, will he stop with a smile thrown his way and a kind gesture? Sometimes a sock to the jaw is what is needed. Iran has been bullying us and its’ people far too long. It was time for the smack down.
Well, if we are so keen on “rooting out evil”, we might start with the close associates of Trump, and Biden, and Clinton who have credibly been accused of horrific crimes in just the little bit of the unredacted Epstein papers we have been allowed to see. Instead we get coverup after coverup after coverup, then go bomb Iran because they are “bad”. Really?
Our bases have been destroyed. Any new aid (missiles and defense systems) we are bringing in are going to Israel - not to protect those other countries Iran attacked, making it clear, we are there solely for Israel. How many of those countries will be inviting the US back to rebuild their bases?
Trump has changed the geopolitical landscape - and not in a way he wanted. This is what you get when you appoint and listen to maniacal zionists.
Our government supports multiple tyrannical regimes in the gulf region. One's that are abhorrant to women's rights, ones who regularly and violently put down civilian protests, etc. But for some reason, Iran is the big boogie man and we are friends with these other countries. Weird, I know.
Nope. You don't see fanatic Islam as a poison and they would kill all of us. They have been evil since the Old Testament. There are always casualties and it is heartbreaking but that is war. I am MAGA and stand behind the decision and will never change my mind. Whatever happens is the way it is destined to be based on the New Testament and the book of Revelation. So be it. I leave the Lord in charge.
Thanks Joe. It's the way I see it as well. It was a stupid move by Trump at the wrong time. I know, as Jeff has stated, it hurts China as well with rising oil prices for them and loss or sales for their weapons. But it's going raise our debt significantly as we borrow even more from the Fed to fund all this.(all wars are banker's wars) I feel Israel may have had a significant influence in starting this war but Trump could have said no. He didn't and despite him saying it's all done(mission accomplished), I gotta bad feeling it's going to be going on for a long time(again). Remember that line from the Godfather III, "Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in." We're in it AGAIN.
I normally despise vulgar language, but in this case, I agree! I will go so far as to say God bless that judge for his boldness in illustrating the truth of the matter!
Same!! I like the way he framed it—you people are getting all bent out of shape with just the WORDS, imagine having the actual physical representation of those words!!
Spot on. It's similar to those who appear before a School Board meeting and through either words or actions attempt to make board members uncomfortable - if the "adults" are feeling ill at ease - just imagine how those who have to suffer through the actual activity (whether young girls or adult women) must feel.
The Judge's words are a message BEYOND mere language.
It's a reminder of just how powerful words can be - WELL DONE, Your Honor!
Remember those "mystery drones?" that flew over the US? Remember 9-11 and how our govt attacked us? History rhymes. Don't be surprised if "iranian" drones start attacking us, getting ppl so emotional with US lives lost - that we reinstitute the draft.
And no one is talking about the 2 drones stolen from a military base in KY a couple of months ago. Saw the images of the culprits yesterday. Seems particularly sus.
The headlines and predictive programming is everywhere in the media. 9-11 was a coordinated attack, which takes time to put in place. Let's hope it doesn't happen. False flags do happen however all of the time, do they not?
I hear from my right wing echo chamber that they happen all the time but I don't know that to be fact.
Talking with some buddies of mine (right wing Christian) about how our side (right) now lies as much as the left (X, Instagram, Alternative media like Alex Jones, Fuentes, Owens, etc) how can we know what's true? I don't live in Iran so am not sure of anything. We're pulling way back from the above mentioned sources and just letting God take care of the future.
The oracle was once asked to name the wisest man in Greece, and replied that Socrates, the Athenian philosopher, was truly wisest. Socrates was later told of the oracle's prophesy. "Since the gods proclaim me the wisest, I must believe it," he declared. "But if it is true, it must be because I alone, of all the Greeks, realize that I know nothing."
And that's my issue here with this Stack - it's very pro-Trump, and doesn't look at Israel or the technocrats running things (was pro-Musk)....we need a holistic viewpoint.
If you look at all the evidence and testimony ("pull the building") from 9-11 you will come to the same conclusion, that is was a false flag.
God wants us to use our mind, and ask our heart what is true, it's critical we do so now more than ever, before our children suffer a fate due to bankers wanting their war. Every war is a banker's war.
Good morning! It's Friday! YAY.... I watched your podcast with Mike Rowe yesterday, Jeff. Fantastic. I think I heard Michelle laughing in the background a couple of time. Well done!
I only wish Thune and the Republicans were as determined, ruthless and calculating when doing what is good and right for America and Americans as the Democrats are when doing what is wrong, bad and evil for America and Americans!
I left the Senator another VM just now. “You have a choice. Remain a slime ball or become a hero. Require the talking filibuster. Pass the SAVE act.” Y’all call. 866-850-3855.
I’m going to jump in here and post numbers to call Thune’s office in SD. This was posted by the great Scott Presler.

I sent him a similar email, pointing out his frequent requests for funding and telling him that there was no chance he would get a contribution if the
SAVE America Act is not passed and the DHS is not promptly reopened.
I'd venture that the folks who control the Democrats have bigger wallets than the folks who lease the GOP.
Those wallets are full of our tax dollars. So ALL of us are unwillingly funding the destruction of America.
They do, just look at the many highly funded NGOs that are focused on destroying the US from within - we could abolish poverty and hunger!
Trump's POTUS campaigns have all been underfunded compared to his DNC opponents. It's fascinating - this last election he finally had more tech bros financially supporting him.
Hillary left him in the dust, financially. I'm still in shock that he beat the beast🤣
The story of Gideon comes to mind when I consider the seeming imbalance of financial resources between progressive and conservative causes.
https://www.gotquestions.org/life-Gideon.html
Seems to me I recently saw an article about how the GOP coffers are full to overflowing and Dems are hurting, badly.
That may be the party itself. Not the NGO’s.
True, but I'm not sure the NGO system is that healthy anymore.
To suggest (not that you are doing so; this is a general, broad statement on my part) that the Republicans don't "play the game" as well as the Dems, or that they are "lazy" - is understatement.
There are some GOOD politicians out there. ("Good" defined as reasonable, honest, willing to seek truth and sharp enough to recognize it. Certainly more adjectives apply...)
Problem is, there are not ENOUGH "good" politicians.
That is why they are called "conservatives".....
Forget the Republicans, who are and have been useless for the last 80 years. The the ONLY consideration for doing anything at this stage of Trump's second term is winning the midterms. After holding or gaining we could have bombed anybody we liked. Now his entire presidency and legacy, and everything he's accomplished in every other area, depends on success in Iran.

For the ways of a man are before the eyes of Yahweh,

At least Judgement Day will reveal Truth and impose Accountability. An alternate view of the events in Minab, given in this interview (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tKW17kQKRY), is worth considering -- it starts at 53:45 (w/poetry) and 55:33 (w/o poetry).
Jeff said "errant missile" with a double tap strike?
"Albert Pike had promised his Masonic allies in Europe that they would have three world wars to consolidate the world power of the Canaanites. We have now seen two of those world wars, and, as promised, the first world war was to set up a Communist regime, the second world war was to raise it to the status of a world power, and the third world war is planned to destroy both Communism and Christianity in a great orgy of annihilation. This coming war is intended to be the final death knell of the people of Shem; after its conclusion the Canaanites will reign unchallenged throughout the world."

Every once in a while, instead of simply accepting something is true I have this irrepressible tendency to find out if something is true. My therapist blames you....at least in part.
Florida Democrats ALL voting against proof of U.S. citizenship.....I mean, c'mon....Are you fence sitting constituent globulars getting it yet? We're not North Korea. This isn't exactly an earth shattering appeal.
What a great name for a spa: The Twig and Berry.
Their concern about "out-of-state students in Florida who do not drive" is silly. How do they think those students enrolled in college? Maybe they had to have some form of ID, like a *birth certificate*!
I would think that “out-of-state students” by definition means they are not considered “residents” of the state, so are they even allowed to vote in the state’s elections anyway? I wouldn’t think so. The esteemed State Senator from Boca seems to be worried about a situation that likely doesn’t even exist.
👏🏻🎯
THIS!
Here in Georgia, students from out of state vote. In a huge college town like Athens, I have read that University of Georgia students who hail from other places in the state vote and help keep the local government very blue indeed.
I didn't understand that sentence, about out-of-state students. Why would someone who doesn't live in Florida be voting in a Florida election? If it's a general election, why wouldn't they use mail-in ballots. Sorry for being dense; I've had a long, rough week.
Most, if not all states, offer an ID that the driver licensing organization issues that is simply an ID, without the driving privilege.
How dare you suggest such a thing! Do you realize the effort that takes? PLEASE!

Join me on a journey to a shivering place brimming with warmpth, by Louisa May Alcott
Dear Merrys: I want to tell you about a New Year's breakfast which I had when I was a little girl. What do you think it was?
A slice of dry bread and an apple. This is how it happened, and it is a true story, every word.
As we came down to breakfast that morning, with very shiny faces and spandy clean aprons, we found father alone in the dining-room.
"Happy New Year, papa! Where is mother?" we cried.
"A little boy came begging and said they were starving at home, so your mother went to see and—ah, here she is."
As papa spoke, in came mamma, looking very cold, rather sad, and very much excited.
"Children, don't begin till you hear what I have to say," she cried; and we sat staring at her, with the breakfast untouched before us.
"Not far away from here, lies a poor woman with a little new-born baby. Six children are huddled into one bed to keep from freezing, for they have no fire. There is nothing to eat over there; and the oldest boy came here to tell me they were starving this bitter cold day. My little girls, will you give them your breakfast, as a New Year's gift?"
We sat silent a minute, and looked at the nice, hot porridge, creamy milk, and good bread and butter; for we were brought up like English children, and never drank tea or coffee, or ate anything but porridge for our breakfast.
"I wish we'd eaten it up," thought I, for I was rather a selfish child, and very hungry.
"I'm so glad you come before we began," said Nan, cheerfully.
"May I go and help carry it to the poor, little children?" asked Beth, who had the tenderest heart that ever beat under a pinafore.
"I can carry the lassy pot," said little May, proudly giving the thing she loved best.
"And I shall take all the porridge," I burst in, heartily ashamed of my first feeling.
"You shall put on your things and help me, and when we come back, we'll get something to eat," said mother, beginning to pile the bread and butter into a big basket.
We were soon ready, and the procession set out. First, papa, with a basket of wood on one arm and coal on the other; mamma next, with a bundle of warm things and the teapot; Nan and I carried a pail of hot porridge between us, and each a pitcher of milk; Beth brought some cold meat, May the "lassy pot," and her old hood and boots; and Betsey, the girl, brought up the rear with a bag of potatoes and some meal.
Fortunately it was early, and we went along back streets, so few people saw us, and no one laughed at the funny party.
What a poor, bare, miserable place it was, to be sure,—broken windows, no fire, ragged clothes, wailing baby, sick mother, and a pile of pale, hungry children cuddled under one quilt, trying to keep warm. How the big eyes stared and the blue lips smiled as we came in!
"Ah, mein Gott! it is the good angels that come to us!" cried the poor woman, with tears of joy.
"Funny angels, in woollen hoods and red mittens," said I; and they all laughed.
Then we fell to work, and in fifteen minutes, it really did seem as if fairies had been at work there. Papa made a splendid fire in the old fireplace and stopped up the broken window with his own hat and coat. Mamma set the shivering children round the fire, and wrapped the poor woman in warm things. Betsey and the rest of us spread the table, and fed the starving little ones.
"Das ist gute!" "Oh, nice!" "Der angel—Kinder!" cried the poor things as they ate and smiled and basked in the warm blaze. We had never been called "angel-children" before, and we thought it very charming, especially I who had often been told I was "a regular Sancho."
What fun it was! Papa, with a towel for an apron, fed the smallest child; mamma dressed the poor little new-born baby as tenderly as if it had been her own. Betsey gave the mother gruel and tea, and comforted her with assurance of better days for all. Nan, Lu, Beth, and May flew about among the seven children, talking and laughing and trying to understand their funny, broken English.
It was a very happy breakfast, though we didn't get any of it; and when we came away, leaving them all so comfortable, and promising to bring clothes and food by and by, I think we were not less uplifted and healed in spirit than any hungry little girls who ever gave away their breakfast, and contented themselves with a bit of dry bread and an apple on a New Year's day.

“You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love.” – Galatians 5:13
Thank you. These are stories of Biblical equal..selfless service without no reward but heavenly joy.
Is any reward greater, RJ?
Darn it Tri. 😭😭😭 You got me again. Can’t even see through my tears to type this reply properly. I hope there’s no typos …
My eyes are teary too! I am sitting in a ballet studio watching 2 of my grandchildren in their ballet class. I am babysitting because their mama just gave birth to her 6th child. The story about the needy family helped by the Alcott family really helped me realize how blessed my grandchildren are. Grandpa and I will need to figure out a way our grandchildren might be able to help a needy family!
Right? It’s one of the greatest gifts you can ever give to your child, that selfless experience to remember the rest of their lives. It’s the one tool that molds the character like no other. If you truly love your children/grandchildren, you want to give them the greatest gifts in life, right? No wonder your mind is immediately wondering how you can find a way for them to help a needy family. That’s how much you love them. ❤️
Keep it together Juju =)

We read this excerpt in one of our English books for homeschool last year 😊
Awesome! Can i send my son to this school?
No it’s a one student school lol 😆
=)

Thank you for this wonderful story. Just what I needed to hear. Just heart wrenching to see the next several lines of comments. I will sing praises to the Lord instead of continuing with all the rest of the thread.
Thank you, as always, awesome!
Six years ago today began the covid death alarm in my neck of the woods. Our annual church fish fry was canceled at noon on this date. Pounds of thawing fish and staples for putting on this dinner had to be thrown out or given away. It was the start of the journey that brought me here, though it would be a year later. On the 16th, the restaurants in my state were shut down. Churches were closed, schools closed, and workers sent home. Days later we were on full lockdown/shelter-in-place. The evil of the scamdemic was unleashed. I will never forget!
So much trauma from the dystopian covid measures.
We must never forget KJ
It seems like so much of the country has selective amnesia to the dystopian covid mitigation techniques that were used against us.
I think people want to forget because they now realize they were intentionally panicked into hysterical reactions. In short, they are embarrassed and would just as soon forget, or try to…..
The element of surprise existed.
This was the most successful government and military psyops ever.
Hard to forget the 6 friends I lost in 3 years and none of them died from covid.
Two of them I know for sure took the original shots and the boosters.
My best friend took the vax (against my advice), got turbo cancer in 2023 and died January 2025. I miss her so, so much.
💔💔💔💔💔💔
I have not forgotten and will never forgive. My rage is like it was on Day 1 of this sacrilege against the human race.
Too many have seemingly CHOSEN to forget - this occurs to me DAILY.
Doomed to repeat? I hope not, but fear so.
Who controls the propaganda with 24/7 crisis programming by the billionaire media?
Yes but, those closures and mandates also led to Coffee & Covid. Be optimistic and thankful for that!
Very true!!
I was following the novel virus in Nov 2019...in April 2020, my governor mandated that leaving the state meant that you would have to quarantine for 10 days....That was it for me...Returned to my monthly MD-MA trips...The first time I left the state, I wondered whether there would be cops stopping cars coming and going....no....there was a designer virus with a targeted victim but everything else was a psyop for which most American failed terribly....indicative that there are too many people who are too trusting and too dependent on others to do their thinking for them.
And still are
I will never forget how terrified I was when driving an hour and a half to visit my grandkids (we didn’t stop) and passing all the STAY HOME STAY SAFE and DON’T KILL GRANDMA highway signs and Very few other cars. I was afraid we’d be thrown into a camp!! I UTTERLY LOATHE THESE PEOPLE
When in MA, around Thanksgiving, I had to his my car in their garage. The local police were going around and knocking on doors of houses with what they thought were too many cars…the fine was $500 a person…some people blacked over garage windows….It was nazi Germany like….
😱
I traveled a great deal during the peak of pandemic. Europe, Hawaii, and Mexico. Almost zero problem to do so.
Never forget.
Like who did 9/11?
Above the law.
"Lock er up"
NYC - my home from age 20 to 59 - announced the implementation of 'measures' on March 12, 2020, start the upcoming week.
In the space of 36 hours I had given away 99% of all my possessions and on the morning of Saturday the 14th I found myself at JFK boarding a 12 nonstop flight to Honolulu.
I have never looked back.
P.S. At this moment in my personal history I had already spent a year living a slow-burn mid-life transition to the unknown.
The insane bureaucrats did the heavy lifting for me.
Every story, from men invading a women-only spa to not questioning why a young girl’s school would be at a navy base and open during war, are signs of the deep-state-creeps.
Their immorality and hate for females is alway one of their calling cards.
‘By their fruits you will know them.’
Robin, were you aware that Israel built their IDF command quarters with deep bunkers right smack dab in the middle of a civilian neighborhood?
I can believe that because the deep state is known by their actions. This group might be in every country and by the actions of Israel, and the US, I’d say they were in both.
Chaos, depravity, injustice, enslaving the populace with through money and radical religions are their calling cards.
I look past any division they try to foist on us and go straight to their actions.
Correct. It is the Inquisitors who are evil, not their victims. Yet everyone speaking Hebrew or wearing a kippah gets condemned.
Have you been to Israel? Do you know how small the place is?
Yes.
People so stupid that they come here and tell Jeff to stop.
Says the person who supports every war that comes their way. You have nothing to stand on as someone who supported the iraq disaster. Sit down and try listening for once.
Ooh look at Big Johnny O ordering people around 🙄
Who call people stupid?
Name calling not Christian.
Even Yeshua called people like you “Vipers. Hypocrites’.
Your particular pet demon is one that just loves planting seeds.
Like the idiots who plant Bradford Pear trees.
They don’t bother to find out where they’re from or how harmful/poisonous they are, how bad the blooms smell and how invasive they are.
Those beautiful trees come from Asia, where many, many invasive species come from.
Those beautiful trees smell putrid when in bloom.
These trees are infertile.
These trees can cause REAL pear trees to cease bearing fruit.
i.e. they too become infertile.
And it can be just one drop of pollen from bird poop (you) or from a bees wings into a pear farm full of pear trees miles and miles away and can devastate the entire crop.
“They are just so beautiful!”
They build roots deep underground and pop up another tree, acres away.
I compare people like you to the snake in the garden who said “He didn’t really say that you would actually die, did He?”
And the seed of that snake was planted in the woman, and here we are.
Your entity enjoys, as do all these entities, using you to attempt to destroy good things, good thoughts. Destroy Hope.
I can well imaging you grinning in your easy chair when you drop one of your seeds, while Zero almost has a stroke when he drops his pile-0-poop, stinking up the entire place.
Both of you are controlled opposition, held in the claws of some ‘thing’…..’same thing’?
Islam? British ‘elite’? The Swamp?
Who is controlling you?
Why are you replying to me? I didn’t call anyone names.
"ordering" - sure, whatever. I think its far past time these people who supported the iraq disaster shut up and try listening to those of us who got it right.
You’re a zero Johnny. Your Islamist pedophilic religion is satanic. And you deserve everything that’s coming your way.
We all do.
But I do hope that you will repent .
I read a report , one that you will hate because you love to hate so much. Not an ounce of joy, never can a truth escape your hatred. What a sad, pitiful way to live.
Anyway…..
Here goes;

great 'share' CStone - y'all should give this a read. This is NOT the first such story I have heard.......won't be the last, either, I should think.
Thank you for that CStone!
What do you really feel?
There you go again. If you use the imperative form, it is giving an order, by definition 🤷♀️ So the quotation marks are unnecessary.
🎯
We are using the same Palentir technology targeting Palestine children.
Very precise. The school is noted on the map. Mistake or not, only Senator Kennedy apologised. Proud to be an American?
Ahhhh….
You ARE a Muslim.
We had figured as much about Zero,but we’re still wondering about you.
Now we know.
This is a great read…

I did find this post very interesting and informative. My default is always the spiritual.
There is sacred masculinity which honors and protects women & children and toxic masculinity which takes what it wants.
If we look at the native Americans raising of men, they taught self sacrifice to gain strength. A vision quest to activate the internal.
Ceremonies at the correct time to activate rights of passage into a masculine adult world. This came with responsibilities that were clear in the tribe.
Today we have only entitlement. At a certain age, you’re entitled to drive, to smoke, to drink. I don’t see the same self sacrifice and responsibility toward the tribe happening in our society.
I don’t see the clear cut responsibilities of the sacred masculinity, only rights of passage into toxic masculinity perpetuated by our colleges.
We have a spiritual problem in our culture, and I don’t mean religion, I mean, inner guidance from our intuition, our soul.
Character is not revered in our culture. Yeah it’s the thing that will save us.
It turns out that the DeepState are the British monarchy and their pedophilic ‘elites. They have been looting our treasury since 1913. President Trump is cutting ties with them.

Johnny Zero Is an Islamist who is inbred with a deep hatred of everything ‘Israel/Jew’. You will notice his mantra is ALWAYS accusing Israel or Jews.
Look at a world map and ask yourself, why? Israel is only 8 miles wide at some points. It is actually smaller than New Hampshire. It is surrounded by an ocean filled with Muslims that want to destroy her.
His hatred comes from ancient times. These entities breed this hater into their children from birth.
Bard is another.
I cannot take anything they say as being true, as they are taught to lie from birth. Their propaganda is nasty.
Just beware.
And by their fruits we will destroy them.
We need to call the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruling in the Olympus Spa v. Armstrong case what it actually is: misogyny. Pure and simple. With a little racism and religious bigotry thrown in for good measure. That sicko just wanted to make those women look at his private parts, and our courts ruled that he gets his perverted way. Would be a real shame if something happened to him. Come the revolution ....
I wonder if the "Swinging Dicks Dissent" will be studied in law schools? 😂
Exhibit D.
Oh my 🤣😆
Funny how they can’t figure it out when you don’t see women fighting to get into men’s spaces. It’s lust and wanting to see naked women plain and simple.
Also domination
Beat me to it...it's power....
Yup, exactly 😡
yes, they get off on this stuff.
Yes, like dogs humping. The cure for that is quite easy, especially compared to the ancient way. Couple of snips…
Not only that, but the sick pleasure of forcing a woman who is uncomfortable to have to get close to that genitalia to do their job. It’s absolutely sick.
Or delight in the corrupting of young teen girls.
Last night, all night long, a woman was knocking at my door. Finally, I had to get up and let her out!
So my first reaction would be to point & laugh. Ridicule and derision would be my weapons of choice. But then that might trigger his delicate sensibilities and he could get violent....that's when the hot paraffin wax would be my last line of defense.....😡😡😡
Bring out the hedge clippers.
What if we could have a law requiring mentally ill men to surgically remove all evidence of their “maleness” before they are allowed access to female spaces? That would separate the pervs from the sickos pretty quickly. Require them to knife up or shut up!
yes, his swinging twig and berries should be forcefully removed without anesthesia. Then he/she/it can fit in.
Before getting further down in the reading I burst out laughing about the immediate hypocritical irony in Judge Mc-owns-himself, writing about vulgarity etc, slapping Judge Van-Dick’s obviously large pointed argument. Fortunately he inserted the length of the argument below which blew Mc-owns-himself argument right in his face... Sorry couldn't help myself
WA is clearly targeting small business owners. The underpinning to this case is that we have bureaucracy punishing everyone. Notice this is all through fines imposed by agencies. There are countless abuses of all sorts designed to punish people making home improvements or opening up businesses and it is getting worse. Now if you hire someone to babysit for more than 4 hours a month, you will need a written contract and are responsible for fair workplace practices.
See, for example, this: https://www.dwt.com/blogs/employment-labor-and-benefits/2026/03/washington-state-new-domestic-workers-law-2027.
It is I suppose misogeny, but it is also so much more.It is intended to vex and humiliate--that is the point. It is, one might say, the built-in feature.
You'd think that with all the businesses evacuating Washington, they might want to keep a few. Apparently not!
Maybe in 20 or 25 years, Washington State will simply be turned into a National Park and Seattle will just be the Welcoming Center.
It’s egregious on so many levels! Thanks for pointing out the small business aspect of it!
Lydia… yes to “come the revolution”… one truly justified revolution for me would be a plan in that spa dressing room… “C’mon girls, hold’m down, arms, legs and sit on him… got my lidocaine, surgical scissors and sutures… he wants to pretend he’s a woman, let’s take’m off…”
Oh…. Yes…. I… would….
Sounds like the same pronoun wholeness to divide with imaginary hobgoblins.
Not a real story.
Enjoyed the Mike Rowe podcast
Yes, Jeff on Mike Rowe was terrific!
My oldest sister had a lumpectomy yesterday as a result of her mammogram showing Stage 1 breast cancer. My other sister got breast cancer in 2022, and had one breast removed. My brother got esophageal cancer in 2024, went through chemo and is now cancer-free. All three were vaxxed and boosted. No family history of cancer. Neither parent had cancer. But it's probably just a coincidence. My other sister and I are the only two out of seven siblings who didn't take the jab. No regrets.
Jeanne, there has been some great info being shared re cancer treatments, such as ivermectin, fenbendazole & apricot kernels (you can get those off Amazon- in whole or capsule form). 2nd Smartest Guy has info on those.
They tend to set the mammograms & ultrasounds to too-high levels that can cause cancer themselves. High ultrasounds can also damage developing fetuses. Just fyi A Midwestern Doctor has some great info on that.
Mammograms are the main cause. Fear follows.
Go to a $urgeon?
He wants to cut.
Big money in each chemo treatment. 20K?
Unless you don't happen to believe in coincidences.
Sending prayers to your family Jeanne that they all stay healthy and recover from their health struggles.
Oh wow 😞 Sorry to hear about all of those cancer cases in your family. So many similar stories in the past few years 😞
Dr. Michael Yeadon says jabs wreck havoc on immune and reproductive systems, by design.
https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/former-pfizer-vice-president-covid-shots-were-designed-to-cause-injury-reduce-fertility/
Trump still has not disavowed the covid DeathVax.
Not that simple. Plus, if anyone truly listened to him, he called Ivermectin and HCQ a vaccine, as well as all but spelling it out that no one should want to be put on a ventilator. Only since the plandemic has anti vaxxing perhaps become a majority position. People would have gone nuts if he said anything against jabs. And for the umpteenth time, would you have preferred 5 years of lockdowns, and then still get (almost if not all the real deal hot shots) jabs, or what he did. There was no "never mind, let's just go back to the way it was " option.
After I had side effects from the pneumonia vaccine, I decided never to take another shot again.
include clo2 in that list of treatments that been proven effective and safe. no pun intended. those treatments were and still are effective
"Safe and effective"?
Would never take any commercial product
Learned my lesson.
Trump should have sued pharma for breach of contract....the contract must have called for a safe and effective vaccine...both of which were not fulfilled by pharma....but remember the times....among other things, it was released from Wuhan (imho) when it was to get rid of Trump....otherwise they would have continued to work on its lethality,..
The drug trust controls Trump.
He should "Lock er up".
Who has he locked up yet?
Everyone has such a simplistic view of how to legally lock up people in a country with individual rights...That said, Trump is a nice guy and needs a brutal hatchet man but even that person will be stymied by the disloyalists in the threatened deep state....Why are there no leaks in Trump 2.0? Because everything is compartmented to just loyalists....the rest of the entrenched staff works in the dark...
We should all write or call the White House and swamp him with this. It is the only part that disappoints me about our Pres.
He is surrounded by people who do not tell him the truth.
Who picked his cabinet?
Who bought them.
I suppose too many voters reside in the category of those who SUPPORT the damned thing, eh ?!
Pisses me off, gotta say.
Shocking..what we knew all along
Sherry Tenpenny, Sucharit Bhakdi, Joseph Mercola, etc all paid a price to warn us.
And Dr Madej
So many bold voices!
Simone Gold and her brave group. Stella Emanuel, Pierre Kory,
Many inserted by the deep state..
"If they want heroes, we give them heroes."
Albert Pike
Freemasons.
Kory was the official person who determined the imaginary death of George Floyd.
Book deal followed

The latest debate is whether we have an immune "system" or how it works. Created to push the jab.
We know exactly how the Times got those pictures...Iranian propagandists know which news outlets around the world gobble that stuff up without pausing to confirm details and they waste no time using them to further their agenda. On the other hand, the Times' business model is not news, it's to pander to its base, and it will continue to do so until someone in the WH has a D behind his/her/their name...it's no big mystery.
Why is it never a trans-male (a woman without a swinging dick) that is initiating these legal shit shows inside a clown car with a bunch of woke judges?
Why? Because transgenderism is a mental disorder of men that allows the pedophile man access to little girls. That is it. End of discussion.
Have read that the "trans" phenomena is often a result of of a person (or influential persons around him) not willing to admit he/she is homosexual. Easier to pretend he/she is just the other sex?
True or not, it is a mental disorder which oddly enough mostly resolves itself after adolescence (much like the previous plague of anorexia) and anecdotally at least, largely targets kids "on the spectrum".
The one to show that brain damage is the true cause is the one where a mid40s man decided he was a woman, so transed himself, then declared he was a lesbian to stay true to his wife. The mental juggling taking place there..... unbelievable. I just don't understand why the wife would stay, unless it is somehow contagious.
The whole story just made me say wtf?
exactly, pedos.
Jeff, I am no fan of the NYT, and their coverage is what it is.....obviously pure, unadulterated "news" isn't on the menu, and has not been for a long time, if it ever was. Having said that, the larger, more obvious point, is that the deaths of the school girls, and the hundreds of thousands of other civilian deaths in the Middle East in the last few decades, are all the result of American meddling in countries that simply aren't our problem, whether we are engaging in "decapitation", full blown regime change, or "building democracy". The end result is ALWAYS the same: massive death and destruction of the country/culture/people we are "helping", thousands of American casualties whether death, wounded or PTSD, and immense cost to the US taxpayers, and an exponential increase in terrorism. That is why I, and tens of millions of good, hard-working patriotic American citizens, many veterans like myself, voted for TRUMP: remember the NO NEW WARS???? So yes, you can quibble about the wording of the NYT article, but the fact is that their blood is on our (and Israel's) hands, this was 100% unavoidable and unnecessary , this is 100% a war of choice, serving no American national security interest, and the only beneficiary is Israel. Trump/Rubio et al. have destroyed the MAGA coalition either through sheer stupidity, hubris, or some nefarious intentions I don’t even want to get into. The net result will be that the Republicans will be wiped out in the mid-terms, and the (perhaps) last-best chance to reclaim this country lost.
I beg to differ. Had we done nothing Iran most definitely would have done something and then you’d have a war far messier with millions more casualties. We would have been blamed for our complacency in light of the intelligence had we done nothing. Aren’t our problem? Iran was EVERYBODY’S problem but there were only two countries with the power and strength to stop them.
This hasn’t fractured MAGA the way you think it has, the way you wish it would.
“Trump/Rubio et al. have destroyed the MAGA coalition either through sheer stupidity, hubris, or some nefarious intentions I don’t even want to get into.” Nobody who voted for Trump believes this or would talk like this. God you guys are soooo obvious as your words give you away.
Do you work for The NY Times? You seem to use the same exact same strategies to undermine this presidency. I bet you’ve got an expert in your pocket …
Good lord. You must watch Fox News to believe that crap.
And you must watch MSNBC/CNN to believe your crap. 🤷🏼♀️ … time will tell as it always does. Truth ALWAYS rises to the surface no matter how much b.s. is being stirred into the pot
Boom Juju!
Read the room, JuJu. Once in a while, get out of the echo chamber, and simply listen before you stamp your feet and scream. What I’m “reporting” is from family, friends, acquaintances, the bars I frequent, and the street. There is close to ZERO support for this war. Many will tolerate it. Many will grumble, but soldier on. Many actively, vocally oppose it. I’m in Michigan. It’s a purple state. It will swing back blue in November. Trump & Co. have lost most of the Arab, all of the Moslem, many of the Catholics, 30-40% of the veterans, much of the Hispanic, and much of the young “Charlie Kirk” vote. Most of them (like me) will not go out to vote D in November, but will either stay home, or vote 3d party. The Republicans will be wiped out in November absent a massive change in attitude that I don’t see coming so long as Kutcher, Witkoff, Wiles, Rubio et al. remain in the administration and keep doing what they are doing. Yes, I did vote for Trump, twice, but would never consider voting for him again. We got rug-pulled. My sister, who votes every 20 years, voted for Trump in 2024, because 1) Kamala was worse 2) No new wars (her husband is VietNam USMC veteran and was in horrible situations, 3) transparency on the pedophiles(Epstein). Kamala was and is and always will be a shit show, but Trump has failed us in most other ways. We got a closed border (good) and Bobby Kennedy (good, but he is hamstringed by Trump And Wiles). Fauci is still free, Big Pharma is still running free at the White House, tens of billions of dollars are being spent defending Israel and creating more terrorists by unprovoked, indiscriminate attacks, etc.
I’m having the same exact experience as you BUT seeing overwhelming support for the war and the administration. Hmmmm - you want others here to believe you’re the majority? Wholly untrue, a psyop.
“Read the room”? You mean the one that is being flooded by ill-informed propagandists? Who see Jeff’s influence as a threat and so feel a need to desperately counteract it? The one with the reading problem is you.
We have ALL seen the same arguments on both sides of this issue and just as many of us decided your opinions and views are the weakest and the most misleading. I don’t need to sit here and counterpoint everything you say in a detailed list. Smart people here already know enough to disagree with you and I don’t have to publicly win a debate with you since I’m not trying to pull people away from a particular opinion they have formed the way you guys are.
Enjoy swimming in your blue.
Well said and every word of it true.
Obviously the New York Times is a propaganda rag that hates Trump and will paint every action in the worst possible light. So what? That doesn't negate the fact that the US/Israel started this, attacked a sovereign nation, and massively screwed up. The longer the US takes in coming clean and apologizing the worse this becomes.
This girl's school bombing is poison for multiple reasons. First off, it reinforces the notion that this entire attack was incredibly reckless and poorly planned. Second, the administration's equivocating and conflicting answers makes it look untrustworthy. But most important, it makes the US look no better than Israel, i.e. we'll just kill whoever gets in our way. Attempting to explain it away through technicalities just makes things worse.
We elected Trump specifically NOT to do this. He said no new wars and we (foolishly in hindsight) believed him. Yes he is still far better than what we would have gotten from Kamala, but the level of betrayal is real. The other day Trump stated, "Jared Kushner told me Iran was going to attack us." Are you freaking kidding me? Hopefully he didn't start this war based on the word of his corrupt, obviously conflicted, Jewish son in law. Hopefully he was just squirming and looking to blame someone for this looming fiasco.
Every day this goes on the worse it gets for the US. While I appreciate Jeff Childers eternal optimism, not everything is 5-D chess, sometimes Trump just royally screws up. A good percentage of Trumps base are furious, and I can guarantee pretty much no one who voted for Kamala will vote GOP because of this. Unless things change quickly, November will be a wipe out with the GOP losing 50 seats. Voters will stay home, and who can blame them? On a signature promise "NO NEW WARS" they were betrayed. Even worse they were betrayed on behalf of a foreign country.
“A good percentage of Trumps base are furious,” the only ones I see are the ones that let the leftist propaganda sway them, being more critical of the administration than the faulty reporting they are being fed. Weak minds and all that …
Trump ALWAYS said he’d bomb Iran if it became necessary. Every. Stinking. Rally. You just heard what you wanted to hear when he said No New Wars and chose to ignore everything else he said about the military. He has not gone back on his word.
And Iran is not a new war and it’s been going on endlessly for decades. He’s ending it. Not starting it. That’s a messy engagement and why so many weaklings before him avoided it and opted to drop YOUR tax dollars into the laps of terrorist. And open our borders to their sleeper cells. God forbid you look at it from that angle.
Trump said No New Wars and meant it, but he ALSO was VERY clear that if one were ever necessary it would be handled differently than all the clowns that came before him. It wouldn’t become endless. We would win. Decisively. And we are.
I’m tired of fools like you trying to undermine the truth of the matter. Trump isn’t splitting MAGA, YOU are.
Juju - while I appreciate your comments, you are the one splitting hairs. Trump campaigned on "no new wars" and we took him at his word. There was no asterisk with fine print that said "unless I change my mind and start a war but supposedly do it differently from Bush".
You are correct in that Trump has long stated his opposition to Iran getting nuclear weapons (something they have somehow been two months away from for thirty years). But that doesn't give him carte blanche to start a new war when he specifically campaigned against it. If he had campaigned on a bombing campaign with Israel he probably would not have won. My 18 and 21 year old sons both voted for Trump because they believed him when he said he would not do this. They are hardly alone.
And despite all the sunshine that's being pumped up people's butts, things are not going well. The regime is still in power and the Iranian people did not rise up as expected. The US is quickly running out of both munitions and defensive weapons. Oil is at $95/barrel and the Strait of Hormuz is closed. The stock market is down about 5% as people realize this may cause a sever recession. Trump is trying to get Iran to negotiate using Oman as an intermediary, but the regime has told him to go pound sand. They know time is on their side.
We've long traded amicable comments yet today your comment toward me is openly hostile, accusing me (some unknown guy typing on a keyboard) of "splitting MAGA". I wish I had that kind of power. I'd suggest your emotional reaction stems from cognitive dissonance in trying to reconcile Trump's actions with his promises.
It’s been less than two weeks 🙄🤦🏼♀️
My comment is typed with disappointment in someone I have often agreed with over the past two years. This is a hill I will die on. I will call out those actively trying to split our party and trusting the propaganda MORE than our own administration. It’s sickening.
I guess it remains to be seen if it ends decisively and quickly. One can hope.
To understand what is happening and where this is going, we must truly understand the "religious" goals of Netanyahu and his merry band of Zionists. Furthermore, and this is important, we must understand the religious belief of the Shia Islamic population of Iran and I don't see anyone doing that except for Armstrong. What we are fed by the press and the USG is ALL propaganda by definition as it is in any war. What we are TOLD by our own countrymen who are Zionists is also not to be trusted. This is a religious war.
............................................................................................................
End Times & Sharing Power
QUESTION: Do you think that Netanyahu has deliberately dragged Trump into his war? It has been his life’s mission to destroy Iran, whom he sees as the Amalek of 1 Samuel 15:2-3!
RB
ANSWER: I believe that the Neocons have cleverly created the FIRST war where we are NOT in charge. Netanyahu is a diehard Neocon, who hung out with Irving Kristol in Philadelphia, who was the godfather of the Neocon movement. To me, this is a serious RED FLAG!!!!!
...If Netanyahu believes that genocide is the command of God, that is NOT in the self-interest of the United States. He knows you cannot accomplish regime change from the air. This is the very first time when we are in a partnership with another country who is really calling the shots here where the interests of Netanyahu are by no means the same national interest of the United States.
.....Killing the Ayatollah on day one was a clear message that there is to be no peace with Iran. This is all about the total destruction of the Islamic Republic.
Trump has been implying the use of nuclear weapons. On FEBRUARY 28, 2026 POST-STRIKE, Trump said:
“We have capabilities Iran cannot imagine. If they retaliate, there will be nothing left.”
Here is my concern. Israel has nukes and already believes that they must utterly destroy the Islamic Republic.
....We are by no means in charge of this war. Netanyahu would love nothing more than to see Trump commit American ground troops. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt on March 8th refused to rule out ground troops or a military draft. The Neocons know Trump well. They know he does not like to lose so dragging him into this war was their brilliant strategy to ensure that he will see this until the end.
End Times Armageddon
To the Shia Muslims, this is a battle against the devil. Netanyahu has ensured killing the Ayatollah has invoked their end times views just as he has done the same. This appears to be a religious war that does not look good. It does not appear to be over quickly either.
https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/world-news/wef/end-times-sharing-power/
With all due respect, while you say this action is "serving no American national security interest," others refer to it as a necessary military interdiction...necessary because a country with oft stated hostile intentions continues to arm itself with the very weapons necessary to carry out its threats.
I would suggest that it comes down to whether one chooses to believe Iran's clearly stated intentions, or whether one chooses to assume that it's all bluster and that there's nothing to worry about.
When has Iran attacked us? Proxy groups have attacked US interests in the region, but we have had multiple wars there for decades now - what should we expect? Our CIA also supports and props up its own terrorist groups throughout the region. We can't have it both ways.
I no longer believe any of the crap. As far as I am concerned it is Israel or our own government.
Or?
When has Iran attacked us??????? Check this out........Johnny:
November 1979-January 1981: Iranian students — with the backing of Tehran — take 66 Americans hostage at the U.S. Embassy in Tehran.
April 1983: A suicide car bombing kills 63 people, including 17 Americans, at the U.S. Embassy in Beirut. The Iran-backed terrorist group Islamic Jihad, a precursor and early branch of Hezbollah (not to be confused with Palestinian Islamic Jihad), claims responsibility.
October 1983: Operatives of the Iran-backed Hezbollah drive a truck bomb at a Marine compound in Beirut, killing 220 U.S. Marines and 21 other service personnel.
December 1983: Hezbollah operatives drive an explosives-filled dump truck through the gates of the U.S. Embassy in Kuwait City. No Americans are harmed.
March 1984: Terrorists kidnap CIA station chief William Buckley in Beirut, subsequently torturing and ultimately killing him in 1985. Islamic Jihad claims responsibility.
December 1984: Hezbollah terrorists hijack Kuwait Airways Flight 221 on its way from Kuwait to Pakistan and divert it to Tehran, killing two American officials from the U.S. Agency for International Development.
June 1985: Hezbollah terrorists hijack TWA Flight 847 en route from Athens to Rome and kill a U.S. Navy diver.
July 1989: Hezbollah operatives kill U.S. Marine Corps Col. William Higgins after kidnapping him the previous year while on a United Nations peacekeeping mission in southern Lebanon.
April 1995: An explosives-laden van crashes into a bus near Kfar Darom in the Gaza Strip, killing one American and seven Israelis. Palestinian Islamic Jihad claims responsibility.
August 1995: A Hamas suicide bomber blows up a bus in the Ramat Eshkol neighborhood of Jerusalem, killing an American and three other passengers and wounding more than 100.
February 1996: A Hamas suicide bomber blows up a Jerusalem bus, killing three Americans and wounding three other Americans. A total of 26 people die in the attack.
March 1996: A suicide bomber blows up the Dizengoff shopping center in Tel Aviv, wounding two Americans. Twenty people die and 75 others are injured in the attack. Both Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad claim responsibility.
May 1996: Gunmen kill an American-Israeli dual citizen in the community of Beit El in the West Bank. Another U.S. citizen and three Israelis are wounded. No group claims responsibility, but Israel suspects Hamas or Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
June 1996: A truck carrying 5,000 pounds of explosives blows up the Khobar Towers, a U.S. Air Force housing complex in the Saudi Arabian town of Khobar. Nineteen Americans die and some 500 people are injured. The Iran-backed Hezbollah Al Hijaz, a terrorist group in Saudi Arabia, is deemed responsible.
September 1997: Three Hamas suicide bombers blow themselves up at the Ben Yehuda shopping mall in Jerusalem, killing a U.S.-Israeli dual citizen and wounding seven other American citizens. Four other people die and nearly 200 are wounded in the attack.
August 1998: With the assistance of Hezbollah, al Qaeda suicide bombers almost simultaneously blow up the U.S. Embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, killing 224 people, including 12 Americans, and wounding thousands. According to the 9/11 Commission Report, al Qaeda developed “the tactical expertise for such attacks months earlier, when some of its operatives — top military committee members and several operatives who were involved with the Kenya cell among them — were sent to Hezbollah training camps in Lebanon.”
August 2001: A Hamas suicide bomber blows up the Sbarro pizzeria in Jerusalem, killing a U.S.-Israeli dual citizen and two other Americans. A total of 15 people die in the attack.
September 11, 2001: While the 9/11 Commission Report concludes that Iran had no foreknowledge of al Qaeda’s attacks on the World Trade Center, the report indicates that Tehran facilitated the travel of some of the terrorists. “In sum,” the report notes, “there is strong evidence that Iran facilitated the transit of al Qaeda members into and out of Afghanistan before 9/11, and that some of these were future 9/11 hijackers.”

Thank you for that listing Austin.
Iran has never attacked another country?
We can too have it both ways.

Necessary military interdiction? Is that in the constitution? Same for Hamas?
No New Wars? You think this is a “New War?” I don’t think anyone on this feed is excited about this. But there are those that know we are rooting out evil. I was told many years ago, that the ones responsible for moving out negative energies are those that know how to and are capable of it. Do we stand by and let this hostile regime constantly fund terrorism, attack Christianity, target western civilization because we are supposed to play nice? If we are doing such a bad thing, why are not the nations surrounding Iran, all Muslim nations, not banding together and rising up against the United States? You do not think they are in on it and encouraged this nation to help them remove the evil that was living next door to them? Do we not all want peace? If there is a bully in the playground, will he stop with a smile thrown his way and a kind gesture? Sometimes a sock to the jaw is what is needed. Iran has been bullying us and its’ people far too long. It was time for the smack down.
No new wars except Epic Epstein Fury.
Well, if we are so keen on “rooting out evil”, we might start with the close associates of Trump, and Biden, and Clinton who have credibly been accused of horrific crimes in just the little bit of the unredacted Epstein papers we have been allowed to see. Instead we get coverup after coverup after coverup, then go bomb Iran because they are “bad”. Really?
Our bases have been destroyed. Any new aid (missiles and defense systems) we are bringing in are going to Israel - not to protect those other countries Iran attacked, making it clear, we are there solely for Israel. How many of those countries will be inviting the US back to rebuild their bases?
Trump has changed the geopolitical landscape - and not in a way he wanted. This is what you get when you appoint and listen to maniacal zionists.
Nothing good can come from supporting these evil people.
Our government supports multiple tyrannical regimes in the gulf region. One's that are abhorrant to women's rights, ones who regularly and violently put down civilian protests, etc. But for some reason, Iran is the big boogie man and we are friends with these other countries. Weird, I know.
I'm sure you'll be happier when Sharia Law covers the planet......because THAT is what we all get if this continues. Read the dogma.
And you think Zionists are bad????
Nope. You don't see fanatic Islam as a poison and they would kill all of us. They have been evil since the Old Testament. There are always casualties and it is heartbreaking but that is war. I am MAGA and stand behind the decision and will never change my mind. Whatever happens is the way it is destined to be based on the New Testament and the book of Revelation. So be it. I leave the Lord in charge.
Mohammed came after the Old Testament.
Islam wasn’t around in the Old Testament…..
Thanks Joe. It's the way I see it as well. It was a stupid move by Trump at the wrong time. I know, as Jeff has stated, it hurts China as well with rising oil prices for them and loss or sales for their weapons. But it's going raise our debt significantly as we borrow even more from the Fed to fund all this.(all wars are banker's wars) I feel Israel may have had a significant influence in starting this war but Trump could have said no. He didn't and despite him saying it's all done(mission accomplished), I gotta bad feeling it's going to be going on for a long time(again). Remember that line from the Godfather III, "Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in." We're in it AGAIN.
I agree with a great deal of your post.
However, making statements including "100%" of anything are intrinsically weak.
This is not mathematics we're discussing.
sometimes you have to fight fire with fire, or vulgar with vulgar
I normally despise vulgar language, but in this case, I agree! I will go so far as to say God bless that judge for his boldness in illustrating the truth of the matter!
Same!! I like the way he framed it—you people are getting all bent out of shape with just the WORDS, imagine having the actual physical representation of those words!!
Spot on. It's similar to those who appear before a School Board meeting and through either words or actions attempt to make board members uncomfortable - if the "adults" are feeling ill at ease - just imagine how those who have to suffer through the actual activity (whether young girls or adult women) must feel.
The Judge's words are a message BEYOND mere language.
It's a reminder of just how powerful words can be - WELL DONE, Your Honor!
Bent out of shape: Peyronie's disease...
Judge VanDyke is brilliant.
it's the magic of plainly saying what the other person means, but prefers not to articulate
Remember those "mystery drones?" that flew over the US? Remember 9-11 and how our govt attacked us? History rhymes. Don't be surprised if "iranian" drones start attacking us, getting ppl so emotional with US lives lost - that we reinstitute the draft.
One word: Palantir:
https://romanshapoval.substack.com/p/drones-and-the-us-space-force
And no one is talking about the 2 drones stolen from a military base in KY a couple of months ago. Saw the images of the culprits yesterday. Seems particularly sus.
Do you have a link to that Jeanne? Thank you - yes definitely sus.
Swarthy?
Remember that "Chinese" Spy Balloon? According to a 4 Year Old Guardian Article it Belongs to the US: https://old.bitchute.com/video/7ICJdxvMF0ZL [1min]
Translation: Israeli false flag. Rinse wash repeat
Then why haven't those drones attacked already?
The headlines and predictive programming is everywhere in the media. 9-11 was a coordinated attack, which takes time to put in place. Let's hope it doesn't happen. False flags do happen however all of the time, do they not?
I hear from my right wing echo chamber that they happen all the time but I don't know that to be fact.
Talking with some buddies of mine (right wing Christian) about how our side (right) now lies as much as the left (X, Instagram, Alternative media like Alex Jones, Fuentes, Owens, etc) how can we know what's true? I don't live in Iran so am not sure of anything. We're pulling way back from the above mentioned sources and just letting God take care of the future.
"I am not sure of anything" could not be more true. Anyone who thinks otherwise is very naive.
The oracle was once asked to name the wisest man in Greece, and replied that Socrates, the Athenian philosopher, was truly wisest. Socrates was later told of the oracle's prophesy. "Since the gods proclaim me the wisest, I must believe it," he declared. "But if it is true, it must be because I alone, of all the Greeks, realize that I know nothing."
And that's my issue here with this Stack - it's very pro-Trump, and doesn't look at Israel or the technocrats running things (was pro-Musk)....we need a holistic viewpoint.
If you look at all the evidence and testimony ("pull the building") from 9-11 you will come to the same conclusion, that is was a false flag.
God wants us to use our mind, and ask our heart what is true, it's critical we do so now more than ever, before our children suffer a fate due to bankers wanting their war. Every war is a banker's war.
Good morning! It's Friday! YAY.... I watched your podcast with Mike Rowe yesterday, Jeff. Fantastic. I think I heard Michelle laughing in the background a couple of time. Well done!
