That’s ok Jeff, I was fully on board that today is Monday. It sure feels like it! Thanks ever so much for all you do to further the truth and educating all of us 😁👍🏼
Whew, I was very confused. I checked my calendar, several times and even double checked the date/day with my daughter. Then, I thought Jeff must be playing up how the day after Christmas feels like a Monday?
Me, too. Took all week of checking the calendar and events to get it set in my head that Christmas wasn’t on Friday. I have no idea why. Even had trouble figuring out after Christmas sales weren’t on Saturday. But. My brain actually worked when I read Monday. But I was so tired, I just didn’t care. 🤣
I have been screwed up on the day of the week during this holiday season. And your typo on day/date made me think I had lost my mind! I'm glad to see that this happens to all of us!
I WISH I could hit a hundred heart ♥️ buttons for this! We have Chen trails every clear and sunny day now (N Carolina) and then smeary haze, smeary clouds, and cloud cover unless a wind blows the mass away or it comes down as rain. I would so like for this spraying to STOP!
WOW!
God bless Ron DeSantis for ordering it full stop over Florida skies!
If only CA would ban them. We’ve had record rainfalls this week. (Whatever record means anymore. It’s all hype.) That being said, in So Cal on Tuesday, I observed no less than 10 chemtrails, and that was the hour I was swimming. Who knows how much more spraying they did.
It was crazy the number a few days before Christmas. My husband was looking at the weather app today and now it just shows the next 10 days as rain. Today, of course, it shows it overcast, but it’s already started sprinkling.
Yes,I have noticed some recently in central florida. But it’s SO MUCH BETTER than it was a year ago when the skies were thick with them. Thank you, Gov. DeSantis!
Does anyone know if there has been any progress on discovering why MAHA doesn't do anything about this? It really puzzles me that it's allowed to go on with no one in power with Trump's administration getting to the bottom of it.
My guess is they are being allowed to use up their chemical stock... We've only had 3 days of no chemtrails this December in Kansas, which is a lot more trails than previous months.
How the heck are they getting away with this. I read on a substack (forgot which one as read so many) that they have found aluminum in the chemtrails and we are breathing that in...
p.s. I lied (not on purpose though). I remember it was a Tucker Interview about 2 months back with someone who has been taking this on for a few years now and is shut down by media so few have heard of him.
This is true. I have a lot of pictures of them. I have sent some to Gov DeSantis web site. These sightings are increasing. The Wink Weather folks made some lame excuse of some named clouds. Sorry don't believe it. I'm glad you guys are seeing this as well.
Agreed. I have pics too and actually saw orange clouds with odd shapes so as I would say to the Wink Weather folks, " Don't piss on my leg and tell me its raining."
I have to disagree… Although I still see them occasionally, the skies are much more beautiful deep blue. I’m more regular basis. So I’ll take it. It’s definitely an improvement, although I think some still squeak through.
Michigan has more cloudy days in the winter months, but they seem determined to ruin every, clear sky day here. Sitting in another ice storm, something unheard of 40 years ago here.
Hopefully I can muster enough breath to blow out the multitude of candles on my birthday cake this year, and getting a Republican governor for us in PA is my only wish!
In Louisville, spraying X's and lines is constant. It is a valley and we are sicker living here than anywhere we've ever lived. Can't spraying citizens be counted as an act of war?
There are still chemtrails happening unfortunately but there is a chemtrail hotline for Floridians to call to report.There was a great Hurricane season this year; HURRICANE DONALD!!!! Booyah!
These entities want to take the place of God and command everything. They will case floods, famines, storms, illness in people and animals and ruin the soil. When I see these clouds and the planes that are spewing this crap, I ask God to turn it to water so as not to harm the beautiful earth He created and not allow them to block the Sun we need and to make the clouds vanish. They have no right to destroy what God has wrought.
I know that Florida banned chemtrails. However we've had a lot of vapor trails of sores pop up all over Fort Myers the last several months. I'm not sure what that is about.
For God, who said, “Light shall shine out of darkness,” is the One who has shone in our hearts to give the Light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.

Note: Son-in-law about to have surgery shortly to clean up finger and set arm. Thank you for praying.
His name means "YA" brings SALVATION. "YA" is an abbreviation for His Father's name which is YAHVEH, spelled YOD HEY VAV HEY. That is who Yashuah prays to. Yahveh is in your Christian Bible as "My God and your God". I believe Yashuah is quoted to have said that. YAHVEH is YASHUAH's God, also mine.
Thank you so much! The surgery went well, but this evening he has been throwing up, probably a pain med reaction. My daughter is exhausted and he is miserable. Thank you for praying for them.
There is a thing here in America that has been around since our founding, American ruggedness. Most of our freedoms stem from generations that were oppressed by tyranny. The Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution specifically our Bill of Rights were written by people that knew government was inherently corrupt. These rights were put in place to keep power with the citizen and remove power from government. Even with this knowledge, and all of the safeties written into our founding documents, even with all of the corruptions we have had to live through, all of the injustices where the rich get away with abhorrent crimes, America I would argue is still the greatest place on earth to live. We generally have the best life, it’s the best place to raise a family. My generation had it better than my parent’s generation. My parents generation had it better than my grandparents generation. When I hear leftists say how bad America is I get truly pissed off, because there is no better place on earth to live, their desire is to corrupt the young. England? France? Germany? Canada? Australia? China? Russia? Take any other country and I’ll show you a slippery slope that has fallen into authoritarianism. Yes we certainly have our problems, but we still are better off than the rest of the world. I’ve heard America is the people, your friends, your neighbors, your family, all of us. Don’t let these leftist talk the young into thinking America is bad or evil, they are liars. J.Goodrich
“We are a nation that has a government—not the other way around. And this makes us special among the nations of the Earth. Our Government has no power except that granted it by the people. It is time to check and reverse the growth of government which shows signs of having grown beyond the consent of the governed.” —Reagan
“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.” —Reagan
"But, Jefferson worried that the people - and the argument goes back to Thucydides and Aristotle - are easily misled. He also stressed, passionately and repeatedly, that it was essential for the people to understand the risks and benefits of government, to educate themselves, and to involve themselves in the political process. Without that, he said, the wolves will take over." —Carl Sagan
"The price good men pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men." —Plato
"It is easy to take liberty for granted, when you have never had it taken from you." —Cheney
"If you're not ready to die for it, take the word 'freedom' out of your vocabulary." —Malcolm X
The bombing in Nigeria is not about protecting Christians, but I accept the pretext. It’s about preserving the oil underfoot that it doesn’t fall into enemy / competitor hands. The Nigerian Christians live in the south of that nation and that’s where the Texas tea is.
Pushing out Maduro from Venezuela is also, not about drug runners and combating Socialism. But I accept the pretext. It’s also about preserving that oil underfoot for the West, and not our competitors.
Greenland is also in this bucket, with access to resource riches of the Arctic. The administration just doesn’t have the same level of boogie man to muster up (yet) in the Dutch. But I’ll wait.
Do you not ‘see’ the underlying connection between all 3 areas of Trump foreign policy interest? Don’t forget also that east Ukraine also holds many natural resources riches, including rare earth minerals.
Although maybe be to a degree, true! I find it hypocritical of Scott Adams to say this when he relied upon the general public to read his cartoon and make him so successful! Some things are better left not said, even though you might believe it in your heart of hearts.
sorry. It's at least MOST. How many wore masks from the outset till the end? How many took jabs that supposedly took less than a year for multiple companies to develop, when all other vaccines took at least 7 years. ? Almost all.? There's your answer.
I never wore a mask except for a few flights where the flt attendants were like Nazis. I never took a single jab. Some of us are blessed with the gift of discernment but there are a lot of sheep.
I like that better, because I maybe quite intelligent in one area but be totally a moron when it comes to carpentry. My husband points out my deficiencies without uttering a word of criticism.
Here is the biggest problem I see. Legislators and judges have taken to writing and enforcing laws which ignore, obfuscate, or undermine our (Citizen) Constitutional power over them. Most people in America have not caught on to this, they actually believe the legislators and judges are eagerly and actively protecting our Constitutional power over them. They are NOT and it is important for people to wake up and realize that ominous and ongoing threat to our sovereignty over them.
Anyone paying any attention knows you are 100% correct, Dan. It’s kindda like those folks who think that doctors hold the keys to health and who willingly pop every pill they’re prescribed!
So many are not paying attention!!! I talk to people daily that have no clue on current events. People in my own family. They will say it’s just too much. I’m sure my face turns fire engine red
Yes, I cannot believe District Judges are so arrogant they are interfering in the running of the country! They are appointed, not elected, and the Supreme Court should give them a good slap so they stay in their lane, which is their DISTRICT.
Sherry, not only arrogant but deeply corrupt, and protected by the equally rotten and corrupt BAR system.
What we have to figure out is how to get deeply lazy, do nothing citizens involved in first understanding the problem and then doing something about it because it is their responsibility as a Citizen who cares about their sovereignty over government. You see all the time, people getting fighting mad about a referee's call on a football game, but tell the same people the government has completely usurped their power over them and they don't have time for that.
We can also deploy the 2A solution, and it may eventually get to that. I'm becoming more and more convinced it is the only way we get our power over them back. A lot is riding on how much the Trump administration is doing and can get done against a legislative and judiciary which both oppose Trump's efforts.
Technically the legislative branch writes the laws, the executive branch enforces those laws and the judicial branch interprets and evaluates those laws to assure they comply with the constitution. I do agree that for at least a hundred years there has been approval of federal overreach and that has indeed disempowered the American citizen. And the American states. But a lot of that is being reversed by the modern SCOTUS. PTL. Vote smart and vote all the way down the ballot.
Technically, you are correct, but in actual operation it does not work that way, and it does not work that way at every level of government - although President Trump and his admin is doing damn near everything they can to restore our power.
We also need a legitimate system to vote. The programmable machines and mail in ballots have stolen our legitimate election system from us.... and I want to be clear, it was done intentionally.
Ultimately, it is going to come down to the Citizens deciding to fight to maintain our control of government. There is a concerted and ongoing effort to keep us fighting with each other instead of fighting corrupt government who is determined to make us their subjects.
I agree about the elections. If you have not done so already check out Elizabeth nickson's piece(s) earlier this month on her Absurdistan Substack about Smartmatic and the source code buried in most, if not all, digital voting systems. That is what makes the mystery ballots so effective and why the evidence of election fraud was nearly impossible to prove in 2020.
I mostly disagree with your assessment of the judicial system though. Most civil lawsuits are brought between private parties go address allegations of wrongdoing by a n other or others. They are usually to recover damages, recover property or obtain injunctive relief. Suits to dispute the constitutionality of a law can be civil but challenges to constitutionality occur in criminal too. Constitutional challenges can be to federal or state constitutions and to federal or state laws. The nature of the challenge determines the jurisdiction - the authority of a court to act. Lastly we are absolutely IMO seeing
extreme judicial overreach in many of these federal district court opinions hamstringing the Trump administration. To the degree that some appellate courts considered to be reliably liberal are overturning the decisions. And the Supreme Court has issued many opinions validating the Trump
Admimistrations actions. For the most part the ones it has not were rejected for the REASON the action was taken leaving the Administration free to pursue the action under another theory. Additionally I feel certain that, as Jeff says, all of the Administration's "lawfare" is by design - to force clarification of the powers of the three branches of government but also to for e Congress to act.
Lynne, I have forwarded Elizabeth's and Lara Logan's interview far and wide. Have you seen the Logan interview? If not, watch it here, much of what Elizabeth wrote about came from Logan's interview. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gA9OCusr64A
Sorry, I still disagree with you on the civil system because it relies on judges who dont base their decisions on the law in far too many instances, if not all. And it is 1000 times worse when you (a Citizen) bring a civil suit against government.
Corrupt government employees and our "Representatives" need to go to jail, and you wont get them in jail with civil lawsuits. This is what I am concerned about, not people bringing lawsuits against each other.
I did not listen to all of the interview Lara Logan shared, but it confirms what I have gleaned from several sources: Venezuela has a truckload of billions of dollars, they control all elections (fraud) and they are the top narcoterrorist country. That is why the US military attack is imminent, and all will be addressed before the midterms. Thank you for that link, Dan!
Good for you on sharing the Nickson and Logan material. I have not watched Logan as I prefer writing. But I will make an exception on your recommendation. If election integrity can be restored, admittedly a big if, I think accountability will be restored. After a that is how it is supposed to work - you get elected and do a bad job you do not get re-elected. We also need to make sure government/civics is taught to the youth.
Interesting, Eruca. I voted to recall Newsom and am still on the rolls, as did my husband and son. Not sure what happened to your registration but hopefully you’ve been reinstated.
The Founding Fathers certainly knew the people's penchant for corruption and tried to get ahead of it but failed in one critical aspect. There are no penalties written in to the Constitution and Bill of Rights. They believed that enshrining language like "Congress shall make no law..." was sufficient prohibition. No one who writes and passes an unconstitutional bill is even censured (whatever that amounts to), let alone fired, fined, disbarred, or imprisoned. The "do something disease" flourishes without consequence for the activists. I don't know how this changes, but it should.
Partly probably because they all play in the same sand box and there is no accountability because at some point someone else will need a get out of jail free card so they aren’t hard on each other like they really should be. All bought and paid for.
It starts with a lawsuit brought by a concerned citizen to challenge the constitutionality of the law. That is the way the system is designed. The accountability should happen on election day. The fact that it all too often does not is either on We the People or a defective election process.
I disagree, civil lawsuits accomplish little if anything at all and corrupt judges may find you responsible for paying fines and attorney fees too (and don't forget you have to pay your rotten attorney's fees too), not only to repel you from ever bringing a lawsuit again but also anyone else who might consider it. State Judges will blow your civil lawsuit away, dismissing it for whatever reason they can dream up, then you have to decide to take it to the appellate, who will do the same thing, find a way to throw out the constitutional challenge. Next is the State Supreme Court, yet another level in the State system who will find any and every reason to dismiss or not take the Constitutional case. Why do I know this, because I have fought, and won - barely - in their deeply corrupt system. Civil lawsuits will simply not get us the justice we deserve.
What do I suggest as the far better alternative? File a criminal complaint instead of a civil complaint! Maybe with the state law enforcement - but they are less likely to do the right thing. Better to file the criminal complaint with the FBI - especially now that President Trump, Pam Bondi, and Kash Patel are running the show - I wouldn't have been able to say that while we suffered under ovomit and the corrupt and criminal regime of the biden autopen.
I'm working on developing a criminal complaint against my rotten to the core County government. I want them to go to jail for violating our Constitutional laws. I will keep everyone updated as I work through this process. If the local FBI doesn't do their job, I will take it up the chain of command. I really think this is how we bring them back under control by getting the FBI to investigate, a Fed District Attorney to bring it before a federal grand jury, a federal indictment for violating constitutional law, and a prison sentence. Once they understand we are not going to tolerate them ignoring our Constitutional power over them, they will stop violating and we can reassert control of them
Yes, we should remove them at the ballot box, how has that worked for us lately, especially with the s_Election system THEY have purposefully implemented against us, without our permission, so they can stay in power. THAT is the other thing we must fix, restoring a verifiable election system which expresses the will of the people, instead of the will of those in power over us.
Power to you, Dan, and I pray for your success. Also, the center of election fraud in Venezuela is about to be upturned with the onrush of the US military to relieve the narco terrorists and cartels of their riches and their control of Smartmatic and all other election fraud machines, manipulations, and machinations. It’s all there and Trump knows it.
Hi Marsha, I think you are right about Venezuela - it is a corrupt haven for world-wide bad conduct including election theft in 72 nations - that number coming from the Logan Interview.
It sounds as if you are bitter about a personal courthouse experience. Do you think all judges are corrupt and all lawyers are rotten?
So civil lawsuits are between private parties. Usually they are brought by one party against an other or others to address some alleged wrong. They usually are for money damages but can be for the recovery of property or to obtain an injunction to prohibit an act or acts. They can indeed be excessively expensive.
Suits can be brought to challenge the constitutionality of a law, rule or regulation. Challenges of constitutionality can relate to the federal or state constitutions, or both, and to the applicability of either to state laws or to the applicability of the federal constitution to federal laws. Often challenges to constitutionality arise in the criminal context as lack of constitutionality is raised when someone is charged with violating the questioned law. The nature of the law challenged in a civil action determines which court has jurisdiction, or authority to act, and the appellate procedure followed thereafter. Some claims must be exhausted in state court before consideration in the federal system. Some are federal.in nature from the outset.
I agree that for the last few decades, at least, we have witnessed judicial overreach, what many refer to as activist judges. At the federsl.level, and to an extent the state level as well, this is empowered by federal overreach. When the federal government controls the minutiae of our everyday lives it is to be expected and has certainly culminated in what you describe - the federal district court judges hamstringing the Trump Administration. Some of that activity has been so egregious that even reliably liberal appellate courts are reversing the lower courts. The Supreme Court has been very supportive of Trump Administration actions and policies; even when thry have ruled against the Administration it has been because of the REASON relied on which leaves the Administration free to alter its reason. Like Jeff Childer's I believe the Trump Administration "lawfare" is carefully calculated to force clarification of the powers of the legislative, executive, and judicial branches. And more importantly to force Congress back to work to perform its only real mandate - pass legislation for the benefit of the citizens of the nation within the framework of the US Constitution. IMO it is a brilliantly conceived and deployed strategy that may well claw back considerable power to the states and individuals. If I am right it will all be the result of the judicial system.
Most (not all, but MOST) state superior court, appellate court, and Supreme court judges are corrupt, especially when it comes to enforcing Constitutional laws which would limit their power over us. And when it might limit government power over us.
No, not bitter, just see the situation for what it is, and the civil side is a disaster for the American people. We still see, and saw, how civil judges dismissed election lawsuits everywhere, always on standing, never on merit, and their interpretations on standing were stretched to say the least - especially in Arizona - where we no longer have elections - we have s_Elections which are upheld by the corrupt judiciary. So bringing a civil lawsuit for violations of constitutional law and election law, is like shooting yourself in the foot, or the head. Better to go to the Criminal route for getting meaningful action on criminal behavior by government.
Too many people believe the judges have the final say in all things, and government in the Executive and Legislative branches at Fed and State are responsible for allowing this to become the reality we suffer under.
Judicial over reach? No! Blatantly corrupt rulings which terribly undermine our Constitutional power over them and the rest of government.
You failed to mention if you work in the civil side of the law... a judge? a lawyer?
FYI, if power is returned, it wont be because of the Judiciary, it will be because of Trump (and his team) and his unending energy and willingness to fight for the American people.
There is a trend in that direction. During my legal lifetime originally some expenses were taxable as "costs" for some types of suits. But it is expanding both by statute and caselaw. I think as a way to punish "vexacious litigants" who file lots of lawsuits and to discourage frivolous suits that are not supported by solid evidence.
Actually, there are penalties throughout US and State code. But its a matter of making the criminal complaint and having the commitment and wherewithal to see it through. But they don't want us to consider that, instead we are told to take our complaints to the civil system where they bend us over and violate us and our constitutional power over them, repeatedly. The civil system is a fraud against us, to undermine us.
Penalties for what exactly? I know public oppression and corruption are criminal conduct. But you started this with a comment about holding those who pass unconstitutional laws accountable. So I do not understand your position.
For violating Constitutional laws, for violating statutes. Not just those who pass unconstitutional statutes but also those who use the obfuscating statutes to pass more legislation - like a new tax district - which increases our taxes and gives them more power over us. So much of this is happening at County, City, township, and school board levels of "government".
The civil system does not work for us, in these worst situations where they are absolutely violating laws which give us supreme power over them. Which is why we must get them into the criminal side.
Question, are you a lawyer who practices on the civil side? Lawyers get rich on the civil side and they (the vast majority, not withstanding there are a very few who will make the constitutional fight) do everything they can to ignore and/or undermine our Constitutional power.
Apologies for the incomplete reply. Sometimes I see a reply to something I said but cannot link to it for awhile. Yes I am a lawyer and I have done civil and criminal, primarily criminal. I am unfamiliar with any statute anywhere which makes it a crime to pass a law that is unconstitutional. First any individual legislator just introduces a bill. The legislature as a whole passes it. And the governor or president signs it into law. Second, criminal conduct, with few exceptions (driving under the influence for example) requires proof of intent to do the illegal act and that would be impossible to establish in this scenario.
There are problems with state courts but I think it is more about ineptitude than corruption. My formerly deep red county has been.overrun by blue state refugees that "vote blue no matter who" and they elected a series of total buffoons. I am not exaggerating. It is why I retired. And let me tell you AI is not going to help. The scenario you describe will be the fact in the future because AI is by design a go along with the flow type of thing. The young lawyers see nothing wrong with that because the law requires that you follow precedent. But the way new caselaw is made is by that astute lawyer who knows the precedents but can cobble them together to form a new argument. That is being wholly lost in the digital legal world.
I agree wholeheartedly that the 2020 election fraud was mishandled. I too was infuriated by the standing argument. Every US citizen should have had standing to challenge every federal election because we were all damaged by it. But in all honesty nobody really had the evidence anyway. We had reasonable suspicion with the strange counts, suddenly appearing ballots, and the numbers just did not add up. But the only person I am aware of that had meaningful proof was Tina Peters in Colorado. And Lord knows she has paid a heavy price. Colorado has seriously mistreated her. But I do not think most people understand that at this point in time election law is one of the only areas of law that is exclusively state controlled. There are some federal laws but mostly regarding campaign funding. Each state controls the mechanics of elections from when and where to the ballot to the choice of machinery to registration of voters. Peters had the goods to establish the machinery was manipulated. Colorado imprisoned her for it.
Lynne, they certainly have more goods on nationwide election fraud now, and they know the operations were run out of Caracas, a big part of the impending attack there by US military personnel.
Hi Lynne, okay, now that I understand you are a representative of the BAR, I can treat you as the hostile witness that you are... I say that only half jokingly and because you have been civil during this discussion - of course we know that is how lawyers disarm their clients.... What do you get with a million lawyers at the bottom of the ocean? A small, but good start. It is a mostly reprehensible "profession" of con artists and criminals, most of whom conspire together against the people they supposedly represent and all of whom think they know better than everyone else about EVERYTHING. There were a lot of people, real, legitimate experts who had meaningful proof - I provided a 57 page detailed analysis to my county and state of how they were using ES&S Election equipment and mail in ballots to manipulate our elections. They never refuted one word in the document - at any level - they simply black holed it, I presume to push me to filing a civil lawsuit they would easily dismiss - without reviewing the evidence - as they did all over AZ and the country. One of my corrupt county officials, who claimed to be a constitutional conservative did acknowledge it and that it was extremely detailed and demonstrated serious flaws which would enable mass election fraud. Of course he didn't do a damn thing with it, not wanting to put his own carcass on the line, and because in reality, he is a RINO - a wolf in sheep's clothing. RINOs, as you probably know are worst than actual Democrats because of their dishonest and duplicitous behavior - although not quite as bad as lawyers...
States run elections only because the people do not realize that each county has the power to run elections as they see fit, but they don't do it because they are a part of the election manipulation system built to make us their subjects.
So, with all of that said, is, or is not, the US Constitution and the State Constitution you live in the supreme law of the land upon which any statutes created must be in full conformance? I will wait for your answer before I develop this further.
When, blacks in our Government cry out about "racism" (you know who they are), My question is why? black people in the USA have it better here than any other place on the entire planet
You sound like me arguing with the idiot leftists from other countries on LinkedIn! I had a Canadian telling me how great their healthcare system is, so I’ve been replying with links to them sending folks to MAID for euthanasia because either their treatments aren’t available there … 🤪
CeeMcG, here's one From Global National: Canadian Vet Requests Wheel Chair Lift, Offered Medically Assisted Suicide Instead: https://old.bitchute.com/video/BXYlwXHTPOvm [36 seconds]
Be sure to include the MAID activity book: If she chooses this option, her grand-kids will be given a 'Medical Assistance in Dying' (MAID) booklet to explain to them why she is choosing to kill herself, while subliminally encouraging them to do the same: https://kidsgrief.ca/local/staticpage/pdf/ACTIVITIYBOOK.pdf
TriTorch, Thank you for the link to Canada’s MAID activity book for children. Definitely intending to subliminally normalize the suggested activity. Note in the text that ‘the person has to request MAID . . . and they then meet with two or three members of their healthcare team’, which are termed MAID assessors. Realized I was transliterating that term into MAID assassins. The mind works in mysterious ways, jumping to what I would call accuracy, eh?
"...The bottom line is that a courageous, muscular Christianity is back at the helm..."
For this to be more than political theater playing to the MAGA base in anticipation of the midterm election, we need to see a revival in America's churches. We need to see a "Black Robe Regiment" of young pastors preaching a "courageous, muscular Christianity" who declare that "Christ is the Lord' without any apologies. The pastors that have been "leading" the American church from the back of the cultural bus need to be replaced.
The first human being that the Gospel was revealed to was a 14 yr old girl from a backwater town called Nazareth. How upside down and amazing is that?
Mary responded first with ‘Healthy Doubt’: “How will this be for I am a virgin?” (Luke 1:34)
She then responded with Humility: “Behold, I am the servant of the Lord, let it be to me according to your word (Luke 1:38)
Then finally, Mary replied with Wonder:” My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for he has looked on the humble estate of his servant. For behold, from now on all generations will call me blessed; for he who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is his name. And his mercy is for those who fear him from generation to generation. He has shown strength with his arm; he has scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts; he has brought down the mighty from their thrones and exalted those of humble estate; he has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he has sent away empty. He has helped his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy, as he spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to his offspring forever.” (Luke 1:46-55).
This is ‘Mary’s Song’.
My hope is that the ‘muscular Christianity’ remembers fully its roots, and joins Mary in her chorus, celebrating the ‘Mystery of Faith’
And let us all do our part in keeping America the best and most free country in the world! We especially need our men to be the defenders and protectors of our nation, our communities and our families!
Julie Ann, My brother came to my house last night to celebrate Christmas. This helped to write my comment today. My father grew up in the depression and volunteered to go fight in WW2. While there he was shot twice, one time in the hand. The third time however he was shot through his back and came out through his chest. This was during the Battle of the Bulge. He was put on the side of the road there in Germany. He told me he could hear GI’s saying that’s Goodrich he’s going to die. He said when he took a breath he could feel the blood gurgling from the hole in his back. I think this is why I am so angry that Europe is where it’s at today. The sacrifice my father gave to the Europeans is lost to this bullshit authoritarianism they have allowed to take over there. My father was sent to England where a surgeon removed a lung and saved his life amazingly. My father’s sacrifice turned into my families sacrifice when he died when I was only 20. So last night my brother and I were discussing how disheartened it is as to what’s happened there in Europe. As they do everywhere the socialist left has destroyed Europe, and so many of us have payed a severe price for what?
James, your dad is a hero. He sacrificed so much, endured pain and much physical difficulty due to his brave service to our country. I can understand why you and your brother are disheartened; so am I but you must be incredibly proud of the man he was. What an example he must have been to your family! My mom had 4 of her 6 brothers serving in WWII at the same time but all in different branches. Her mom died when they were all very young but she said her dad cried every day wondering if his sons were dead or alive. What a great generation! Thank you for sharing that story.
Yep, I love America. We saw during Covid only the beautiful USA didn't bow down to the medical tyranny. Former Western civilization safe havens like Canada and Australia had camps and pastor arrests
As 2025 and its Christmas fades into the rear view, blessings to Jeff and this army into this new year and all that follow.
“Nowadays people know the price of everything and the value of nothing.” —Oscar Wilde
The Faded, Blue Blanket, by Fred Bauer
The most frightened shepherd that night was little Ladius, just ten. He cowered behind his three older brothers when the brilliant star lit the hillside. And when the angel appeared, he hid behind a huge rock.
Yet after Ladius heard the glad news, fear left him, and he limped back to his brothers who were planning to set out for Bethlehem.
“Who will tend the sheep?” asked Samuel, the oldest at sixteen. Ladius, leaning against his shepherd’s crook to support a crippled foot, volunteered:
“I’d only slow you down. Let me stay with the sheep.” He bit his lower lip as he talked. The brothers weakly protested, then made plans to go.
“We must each take a gift,” said Samuel. One brother chose his flint to start a fire for the Christ Child. Another picked meadow lilies to make a garland for the King. Samuel decided on his most precious possession, his golden ring.
“Here, take my blanket to Him,” said Ladius. It was badly worn—faded with patches.
“No, Ladius,” said Samuel tenderly. “The blanket is too tattered to give even a beggar—let alone a King. Besides, you will need it tonight.”
The brothers departed, leaving Ladius alone by the fire. He laid his head upon the blanket and buried his face in his hands. Tears forced their way between his fingers, but soon the hush of night soothed the boy’s heartbreak. The world in silent stillness lay…..
“Are you coming Ladius?” called a voice. Standing nearby was the same angel who had brought the news. “You wanted to see the Child, didn’t you?”
“Yes,” nodded Ladius, “but I must stay here.”
“My name is Gabriel,” said the angel. “Your sheep will be watched. Take my hand—and bring your blanket. The Child will need it.”
Suddenly, Ladius was outside a stable. Kneeling by a manger were his brothers. Ladius started to call out, but the angel lifted a finger to his lips.
“Please give me your gift,” Gabriel whispered. The angel took the blanket and quietly covered the Baby. But the cover was no longer faded. Now it glistened like dew in the brilliance of a new day.
Returning, Gabriel squeezed Ladius’ hand. “Your gift was the best because you gave all that you had…”
“Wake up, Ladius, wake up.” The boy rubbed his eyes and tried to shield them from the glaring sun. Hovering over him was Samuel.
“Did you find Him?” asked Ladius.
“Yes,” smiled Samuel, “but first tell me why you were sleeping without your blanket.”
Ladius looked about wonderingly. The faded, blue blanket was nowhere to be found—then or thereafter.

I love it that stories like this are shared so readily, and appreciated so much, by the C&C community. It’s a family really, in the sense of “Ohana” from Hawaiian culture. It’s why I spend time each day beyond Mr. Jeff’s brilliant commentary to mine the depths of wisdom and insight, humor and encouragement here in the comments by names that have become as familiar as good friends over the years. God bless you all, may your Christmas joys continue to blossom as we soon trade this momentous year for the next one. Laus Deo
Good morning Jeff and beloved C&Cers. Happy day after Christmas. Hoping you all had a wonderful holiday with family and friends. Let's all look forward to 2026 with daily prayers for our President and "most" of the swamp creatures. Love love love you Jeff and your daily stack of yummy goodies.
The Times claiming that “Government officials have traditionally steered clear of such overtly religious language" just proves how worthless they are as a source of true information.
They should spend the next year actually reading the copious documented references to God, the Bible, and religion by governmental officials from the entire history of our nation, not just the past few decades, during which bad actors sought to stamp out any Christian influence and language
“I never cease to be amazed at how effective the system is at getting people who deeply agree on 90% of things to fixate on the superficial 10% they disagree on and perpetually fight each other over it rather than tolerating their differences of opinion and working together to fix the 90% that deeply affects the quality of their lives.”
I love that quote. The system is designed to throw sand in the gears of a healthy society, keeping the right amount of tension and conflict to effect a slow-motion subversion of our culture. I enjoyed a holiday celebration that ended up being free of partisan rancor. I think the system is breaking down
It does feel like a Monday. Lol. Sorry Jeff, we still have to finish this week before starting next. We can chalk it up to maybe you had more than your share of eggnog.
@Delightful- I got an eggnog latte at Starbucks the other day. I couldn't finish it so I put it in the fridge. I had a post-op dr appt the next morning at the ungodly hour of 8:20 so when I got home I poured the latte into a mug, warmed it in the microwave, and then added a splash of Maker's Mark Bourbon to make up for the early morning dr appt. So I made it 5:00 at 9:30 am.
You guys nailed my thoughts - I saw the heading before my coffee and was thinking - do I have Covid? 🤔 After a few sips of coffee I sorted it out. Well, moving forward - Happy New Year!
My wife and I had Christmas dinner alone this year, due to my untimely beastly cold that would have contributed embarrassing and unwanted coughing/sneezing/nose blowing fits to the otherwise enthusiastic celebration.
But, here's another Christmas Miracle. We live in the bluest city in Kansas. Saying "Merry Christmas" is silently verboten here in Lawerence. To ward off further despair from missing the annual Christmas Dinner, we went for a walk. The weather was unseasonably warm, 60+ degrees. As we walked, we encountered a young boy (I'm guessing 10 years old) riding his new bike, probably for the first time. He was wearing what looked like pajamas and a shiny new helmet. He smiled and said, "Merry Christmas" as he passed.
A bit further along we met a young woman wearing shorts. I smiled and said "shorts?" She laughed and said, "Absolutely, Merry Christmas".
Then a 3rd encounter, we met two young jogging men who gave a us a breathless "Merry Christmas" as they breezed past.
We couldn't have been given a better Christmas gift...a miracle indeed!
I do too. Merry Christmas with a smile to the flight attendant as I left the plane. She replied Happy Holidays with a grin. We’re all in this together.
America is the land of opportunity for individuals who are motivated.
A fifteen-year-old boy in my town started a lawn-mowing service when he was fourteen, mostly for friends and acquaintances of his folks. But his great work, absolute reliability, and moderate prices increased his client base through word of mouth. This now fifteen-year-old boy has a pickup truck, closed trailer, and riding mower he purchased with his own earnings. If a lawn customer has dogs, he added poop removal for a fee to his services. He added snow removal to his services.
A twin-home HOA neighborhood was pretty mad at the exorbitant prices they were being charged by the developer for snow removal. Word-of-mouth directed them to this boy, who now has purchased a plow for the front of his truck, and which is generating even more income for him.
I needed my lawn mower to have an oil change and general tune-up; he came and got it and returned it the same day, with new spark plugs, sharpened blades, completely cleaned, and far better than I had anticipated.
All of this is self-motivated with the approval of his parents. But their involvement is only with helping him navigate the legal aspects of his business. It is 100% his own drive and work that will have him buying his first house when he's eighteen years old.
PS: He is a Midwestern born and bred fifth generation USAmerican boy.
It always amazes me that these stories about self motivated, successful "kids" find their way in with jaw dropping aplomb! I am 73, retired at 63, left the sh*t hole of L.A after 63 years. It all started with a push mower. God bless this self starter, help him by referring customers.
Love to hear great stories just like this! My boss was an Iowa boy and became so successful in every endeavor he tried and all the while retained the happy, positive and friendly demeanor of an Iowa boy! He has since passed and I miss him very much!
In our state, there is no legal age requirement to own a truck. He can own all of that equipment. A 14-year-old would need an adult to register and insure the vehicles in their name.
14-year-olds are allowed to have a restricted driver's license here, and 16-year-olds can have a full, unrestricted driver's license.
We are not in want of your take on anything as we are all in the Christmas Spirit and indeed wish to continue this and your tone is offensive and filled with hubris. Please go elsewhere with your opining and bad mojo.
Annnnd, all this negative crap is precisely why stories like this are so rare. Build in some fear of laws, taxes and failure and you can pretty much stop anyone in their road to success. I think this is called communism. I hope the kids succeeds to the point that he rents out his garden shed to you while you navigate your %26 Mastercard balance in your retirement. GET OFF!
And Elon's discovered "Magic Money Machines" were another reason Trump torpedoed most of DOGE.
The Fed is again massively printing money, continuing the debasement of the dollar... but Elon's "machines" are spewing it out in huge numbers... which have never been counted in the already appalling money supply numbers.
Will Elon again take over DOGE, with NO restrictions? Doubt it.
A DOGE DOD audit could crater the dollar and the financial system... remember Rumsfeld's missing TRILLIONS... never found and quickly quashed by Israel's 911 attacks? How many more TRILLIONS have been "lost"??
We're going into "debt" way too fast for legitimate buyers of US debt to buy it. The buyers are being created out of thin air. I'd say it's been that way for something like 15 to 20 years.
It's a little different from the "magic money machines" because with the magic money money machines (basically electronic printing presses) there was no debt created to have to pay interest on.
With these bogus buyers of debt, interest is paid to - who? It could be the CIA. Could be NGOs. Could be anybody connected.
Well... it could be BS, but China and Japan both used to buy a ton or our trashy debt... I think they have both backed off... China is selling and probably buying gold with the proceeds... not sure about the Saudis...
Now, it is my understanding that the FED is the "buyer of last resort"... I think they now hold over a trillion... but who knows?
Regardless... I think a collapse is already in the cards... just a lot closer... gold and silver might be telling the tale of woe...
They are all buying gold and silver now, and when the military hits Caracas we shall find where and why about the trillions of dollars gone missing, along with cartels and election fraud…the answers are all there.
Pete Hegseth predicts they’ll be able to pass the audit in 2028! Sounds like he’s not even going to try for years 2026 & 2027! He should be fired! And Trump should be pissed, but of course he’s not!
Maybe I give too much grace but he was working with crap! I’d say if he passes an audit by 2027 I’d be happy. Gotta make sense of the non sense. Trying to give grace
I am amused at the thought that his people could instantly uncover all the kinks and foibles in an entity as large and multifaceted as the Department of War, formerly Defense.
Giving a pass to government officials who can’t or won’t do their job is partly how we got to $38T in debt and the inflation and debasement of the dollar that followed it.
Was the coughing in the background the variety like *cough, cough - just saying* or from illness?
Advice to avoid the latter: reduce sugar consumption and increase vitamin C consumption to several thousand milligrams per day (get pure ascorbic acid powder to avoid sugar and fillers; it's also much cheaper than gummies or fizzy drinks).
EDIT: OOPS! I originally typed several thousand 'grams' instead of 'milligrams'. Don't do that! 😂

Doctor's Best: Doctor's Best offers a non-GMO, high-potency vitamin C supplement called High Potency Vitamin C with Rose Hips. This product is also free from common allergens and is third-party certified for purity and potency.
I think you meant several grams per day, or several thousand milligrams. Linus Pauling is said to have consumed 10-20 grams of vitamin C daily. Let bowel tolerance be your guide. Merry Christmas!
I personally take 12 grams per day as a maintenance dose (split up into 3 doses of 4 grams each — morning, midday, and evening), and have taken up to 40 grams per day when sick.
We cautiously consume 2 grams of C a day, more if threatened by illness, but no illness since before 2021. And no vax, lots of Vitamin D3 + K2, up to 20 000 IUs per day. Keeping very well.
and you can try gargling with MMS or taking it orally. Margaret Anna Alice just did a wonderful post on how she healed her Mom using MMS when the docs wanted to use very harsh and dangerous meds instead for her Mom's cough d/t Lady Windemere Syndrome. Dr Pierre Kory guided her on this as well!
aka Miracle Mineral Solution. There is also CDS aka Chlorine Dioxide Solution.
A Midwestern Doctor, Pierre Kory and Curious Outlier have written extensively about these as has Jim Humble. You can use internally, externally for wounds and as oral rinse. Some are also using in their pets. Of course MSM and CDC and all the Covid liars say it is bad. Don't listen to them.
It's blocked in the UK. Two of yours and one of Abiding Dude's. Have to use a VPN. Except when replies are notified in my Email app, where I can read them! Which makes it all even more pointless.
I am not even IN the U.K., EU or Australia and I am being censored by Substack!!!!! Three times they ask my age and I click and nothing happens. Jeff, please look into this! See Tonya’s original message above, for me, there is that ‘submit age’ message. I am not happy that some EU bureaucrat, un-elected and un-accountable can decide what ADULTS around the world can and cannot see, read or hear. Substack needs to take a HARD look at their newly implemented policies before they lose readership. Mis/disinformation is a U.N., WEF and EU construct and those words mean nothing. WHO is to tell me what is true or not? Certainly not the EU Commission. Most people know how to draw their OWN conclusions and don’t need some biased people behind the curtain controlling whether or not I can even see content.
ERRATA
— It's been a while since I got the day/date wrong. I blame sunspots. It's not "Monday." Fixed 🤦♂️
That’s ok Jeff, I was fully on board that today is Monday. It sure feels like it! Thanks ever so much for all you do to further the truth and educating all of us 😁👍🏼
I am mostly retired. As the saying goes, I have 6 Saturdays and a Sunday every week.
P.S. love your handle, The Shepherd knows...
6 Saturdays and a Sunday …. My routine also and I love it!!! 😆
Ditto over here in Wesley Chapel,it feels like a Monday!!🤣
Me too!!! I did not even notice the date or day. Thank you for keeping a positive attitude to keep us going. Belated Merry Christmas!!!
I’m always a day behind so the week is longer. Yay! At my age the longer all the weeks are is very awesome. 🎉
I’m so confused I didn’t even notice! 😂
Me too. Lol
Same!
Whew, I was very confused. I checked my calendar, several times and even double checked the date/day with my daughter. Then, I thought Jeff must be playing up how the day after Christmas feels like a Monday?
Me too I checked my calendar
That’s ok. Name the president.
OK: 'Douche-bag Auto-pen Pedo Grifter'
Lol
It sure feels like Monday. I have been confused all week about what day it is. Wednesday felt like Friday!
Me, too. Took all week of checking the calendar and events to get it set in my head that Christmas wasn’t on Friday. I have no idea why. Even had trouble figuring out after Christmas sales weren’t on Saturday. But. My brain actually worked when I read Monday. But I was so tired, I just didn’t care. 🤣
😀
If you say it is Monday then it’s Monday!
Figured that out right away, thanks for the correction.
I have been screwed up on the day of the week during this holiday season. And your typo on day/date made me think I had lost my mind! I'm glad to see that this happens to all of us!
It’s felt like Monday all day… until the workday ended and it totally feels like a Friday- - - Thank God!
Florida bans chemtrails and there’s no major hurricanes. Hummh?
I WISH I could hit a hundred heart ♥️ buttons for this! We have Chen trails every clear and sunny day now (N Carolina) and then smeary haze, smeary clouds, and cloud cover unless a wind blows the mass away or it comes down as rain. I would so like for this spraying to STOP!
WOW!
God bless Ron DeSantis for ordering it full stop over Florida skies!
California too!!
If only CA would ban them. We’ve had record rainfalls this week. (Whatever record means anymore. It’s all hype.) That being said, in So Cal on Tuesday, I observed no less than 10 chemtrails, and that was the hour I was swimming. Who knows how much more spraying they did.
I'm in Los Angeles and I posted photos of the trails the day before the heavy rain, there were more than I've ever seen in one day.
It was crazy the number a few days before Christmas. My husband was looking at the weather app today and now it just shows the next 10 days as rain. Today, of course, it shows it overcast, but it’s already started sprinkling.
I’m in the LA area, too.
IIRC you’re in the same region I am, and I have noticed same…this once clear sky rural area is often hazy, with what I imagine are chem trails.
This really should be RFK's next priority, now that big harma's forced-vax of children has been mostly defanged.
There are a lot of vaccines still mandated on children if they want to attend public schools. 70+ shots still mandatory. So not quite de-fanged.
Kansas too
where is Zeldin when he is needed and the offense is so obvious
Michigan too!
Oklahoma too. Sickening. Headaches and sneezing.
Oregon too☹️
Michigan too
They are everywhere here too. At home in NW VA, and this week at VA Beach. did not even let up Christmas Day
VA too 😤
I’ve been seeing chem trails again over S. Central Florida!!! Back again after being banned byDeSantis!! Zephyrhills, Fl. to be precise!
Moved from Florida back to Utah, where we have a sky full of chem trails every day! Bless our Cox sucker governor!
They may have “banned” them but it hasn’t stopped them from creating them on the daily.
Yes, the state ban and the federal/military continuation are two different power levels.
Yes,I have noticed some recently in central florida. But it’s SO MUCH BETTER than it was a year ago when the skies were thick with them. Thank you, Gov. DeSantis!
Does anyone know if there has been any progress on discovering why MAHA doesn't do anything about this? It really puzzles me that it's allowed to go on with no one in power with Trump's administration getting to the bottom of it.
My guess is they are being allowed to use up their chemical stock... We've only had 3 days of no chemtrails this December in Kansas, which is a lot more trails than previous months.
HEAVY chemtrail spraying over Tucson... last week or so, excepting a rain storm recently...
Where's Bobby???
Yes, Dane Wigington was on Tucker Carlson......check GeoengineeringWatch.org
https://tuckercarlson.com/tucker-show-dane-wigington
I wonder why the Trump team is sitting on their hands on this??
Bobby said it was DARPA.
How the heck are they getting away with this. I read on a substack (forgot which one as read so many) that they have found aluminum in the chemtrails and we are breathing that in...
p.s. I lied (not on purpose though). I remember it was a Tucker Interview about 2 months back with someone who has been taking this on for a few years now and is shut down by media so few have heard of him.
Would not be a shock at all... but does not Trump have enough power to stop this madness?
Or the junior varsity wimp Hegseth?
Are they at least investigating what types of poisons are being sprayed onto our citizens and crops? (Doubt it)
Yeah. He's supposed to be dealing with this.
There is not but one entity that can make this happen. The military.
The military could be behind it.
This is true. I have a lot of pictures of them. I have sent some to Gov DeSantis web site. These sightings are increasing. The Wink Weather folks made some lame excuse of some named clouds. Sorry don't believe it. I'm glad you guys are seeing this as well.
Agreed. I have pics too and actually saw orange clouds with odd shapes so as I would say to the Wink Weather folks, " Don't piss on my leg and tell me its raining."
I miss WINK news! Clearly you are a resident of SWFL.
Agreed. There was a brief pause but they are back,
I have to disagree… Although I still see them occasionally, the skies are much more beautiful deep blue. I’m more regular basis. So I’ll take it. It’s definitely an improvement, although I think some still squeak through.
Michigan has more cloudy days in the winter months, but they seem determined to ruin every, clear sky day here. Sitting in another ice storm, something unheard of 40 years ago here.
Chemical ice nucleation. https://geoengineeringwatch.org/?s=chemical+ice+nucleation
We are originally from Michigan. I always say a rainy day in Florida is better than a sunny day in Michigan ☺️
I don’t know what area of Florida you live in but in Sarasota on the gulf side they are heavy daily. By afternoon it’s overcast every day.
I have pictures but we can’t share here.
i heard you can through the Notes feature
Up here in Pennsylvania some days look like someone is playing Tic-Tac-Toe in our clouds.
This could certainly be an effective way to spread Flu and other diseases.
Pennsylvania could use a Governor like Florida has.
Every state needs a Governor DeSantis!
Hopefully I can muster enough breath to blow out the multitude of candles on my birthday cake this year, and getting a Republican governor for us in PA is my only wish!
We all could use a Governor like DeSantis!
Couldn’t we all???! 🫤
In Louisville, spraying X's and lines is constant. It is a valley and we are sicker living here than anywhere we've ever lived. Can't spraying citizens be counted as an act of war?
Yeah, and that EU "flu" is sure spreading.
Another conspiracy theory debunked….climate manipulation. Thank GOD.
There are still chemtrails happening unfortunately but there is a chemtrail hotline for Floridians to call to report.There was a great Hurricane season this year; HURRICANE DONALD!!!! Booyah!
Hurricane Donald! What a great title for 2025! Good one 😄
A hurricane that we welcome and want to see batter bad scenery!
Reinette does a substack on the chemtrails and has evidence https://reinettesenumsfoghornexpress.substack.com/p/sos-swarm-webinar-geoengineering?utm_source=profile&utm_medium=reader2
Thank you for this SH! Going to watch it now:}.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_1sfionscY
nasty!
These entities want to take the place of God and command everything. They will case floods, famines, storms, illness in people and animals and ruin the soil. When I see these clouds and the planes that are spewing this crap, I ask God to turn it to water so as not to harm the beautiful earth He created and not allow them to block the Sun we need and to make the clouds vanish. They have no right to destroy what God has wrought.
Probably just a coincidence.🤔
Like overdose deaths going down while drug boats are blowing up...
Who’da thunk??
That is laughable BS.
Hurricanes died suddenly.
I guess they got vaxxed.
😂
I know that Florida banned chemtrails. However we've had a lot of vapor trails of sores pop up all over Fort Myers the last several months. I'm not sure what that is about.
I hope Floridians report them to their hotline. We need other states to take up this cause so Florida needs to be successful in this ban.
Florida's law can't stop physics.
I hope Floridians report any they see to their hotline. We need other states to take up this cause so Florida needs to be successful in this ban.
Vermont and New Hampshire are both all in on the chemtrails.
Intawesting!
My first thought too
That's was exactly my first thought also...🤔
Yep not on the Baja either. Hum. It’s been awhile, like a few yrs, since I saw whatever they are called in the skies. Correlation?

Note: Son-in-law about to have surgery shortly to clean up finger and set arm. Thank you for praying.
The power evidenced in this Christmas hymn reveals by contrast the paucity of any sense of holiness left in our culture.

Thank you for sharing Cell if Women singing my favourite Christmas Carol.
Thought I might share this second favourite of mine:

Thank you…a lovely Christmas hymn! I had not heard it before.
Thank you, Phil!
His holy name is Yashuah, spelled YOD YEY VAV SHIN EYEN.
And His Name means SALVATION.
“Forgive them, Father, for they know not what they do.”
What mercy.
Unfathomable love.
Forgive me Father, I know not what I do.
His name means "YA" brings SALVATION. "YA" is an abbreviation for His Father's name which is YAHVEH, spelled YOD HEY VAV HEY. That is who Yashuah prays to. Yahveh is in your Christian Bible as "My God and your God". I believe Yashuah is quoted to have said that. YAHVEH is YASHUAH's God, also mine.
Pray the Lord guides the surgeon’s hands . 🙏
Praying now! Thanks for the reminder.
Praying for your son in law
Praying 🙏 Wisdom for Health; Faith in JESUS for Healing! Shalom Shalom Amen and AMEN!
Sending prayers for perfect surgery and complete and speedy recovery
Prayers for God to guide the surgeon's hands for the best possible outcome and for a quick smooth recovery 🙏
Thank you so much! The surgery went well, but this evening he has been throwing up, probably a pain med reaction. My daughter is exhausted and he is miserable. Thank you for praying for them.
I will pray for relief of the nausea and vomiting. I hope he has zofran. 🙏🙏🙏
It's usually a reaction to anesthesia.
I suggested that . . . I wish they would have gotten some. Thanks again.
Phenergan also works well.
You're welcome 🙏
You're welcome 🙏I am grateful that we can talk about prayer 🙏
Praying!! 🙏 Keep us posted!
There is a thing here in America that has been around since our founding, American ruggedness. Most of our freedoms stem from generations that were oppressed by tyranny. The Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution specifically our Bill of Rights were written by people that knew government was inherently corrupt. These rights were put in place to keep power with the citizen and remove power from government. Even with this knowledge, and all of the safeties written into our founding documents, even with all of the corruptions we have had to live through, all of the injustices where the rich get away with abhorrent crimes, America I would argue is still the greatest place on earth to live. We generally have the best life, it’s the best place to raise a family. My generation had it better than my parent’s generation. My parents generation had it better than my grandparents generation. When I hear leftists say how bad America is I get truly pissed off, because there is no better place on earth to live, their desire is to corrupt the young. England? France? Germany? Canada? Australia? China? Russia? Take any other country and I’ll show you a slippery slope that has fallen into authoritarianism. Yes we certainly have our problems, but we still are better off than the rest of the world. I’ve heard America is the people, your friends, your neighbors, your family, all of us. Don’t let these leftist talk the young into thinking America is bad or evil, they are liars. J.Goodrich
“We are a nation that has a government—not the other way around. And this makes us special among the nations of the Earth. Our Government has no power except that granted it by the people. It is time to check and reverse the growth of government which shows signs of having grown beyond the consent of the governed.” —Reagan
“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.” —Reagan
"But, Jefferson worried that the people - and the argument goes back to Thucydides and Aristotle - are easily misled. He also stressed, passionately and repeatedly, that it was essential for the people to understand the risks and benefits of government, to educate themselves, and to involve themselves in the political process. Without that, he said, the wolves will take over." —Carl Sagan
"The price good men pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men." —Plato
"It is easy to take liberty for granted, when you have never had it taken from you." —Cheney
"If you're not ready to die for it, take the word 'freedom' out of your vocabulary." —Malcolm X
"never underestimate the stupidity of the general public: -Scott Adams
I strongly disagree with that. It is the embodiment of negativity and hopelessness.
The bombing in Nigeria is not about protecting Christians, but I accept the pretext. It’s about preserving the oil underfoot that it doesn’t fall into enemy / competitor hands. The Nigerian Christians live in the south of that nation and that’s where the Texas tea is.
Pushing out Maduro from Venezuela is also, not about drug runners and combating Socialism. But I accept the pretext. It’s also about preserving that oil underfoot for the West, and not our competitors.
Greenland is also in this bucket, with access to resource riches of the Arctic. The administration just doesn’t have the same level of boogie man to muster up (yet) in the Dutch. But I’ll wait.
You're sure about that, are you?
Just connecting dots, as Jeff tries to do 🤷
Do you not ‘see’ the underlying connection between all 3 areas of Trump foreign policy interest? Don’t forget also that east Ukraine also holds many natural resources riches, including rare earth minerals.
Although maybe be to a degree, true! I find it hypocritical of Scott Adams to say this when he relied upon the general public to read his cartoon and make him so successful! Some things are better left not said, even though you might believe it in your heart of hearts.
You have a good point. However, I believe this is what he meant to say;
‘Never under estimate the stupidly of SOME of the General public.’
sorry. It's at least MOST. How many wore masks from the outset till the end? How many took jabs that supposedly took less than a year for multiple companies to develop, when all other vaccines took at least 7 years. ? Almost all.? There's your answer.
I never wore a mask except for a few flights where the flt attendants were like Nazis. I never took a single jab. Some of us are blessed with the gift of discernment but there are a lot of sheep.
Absolutely correct.
I like that better, because I maybe quite intelligent in one area but be totally a moron when it comes to carpentry. My husband points out my deficiencies without uttering a word of criticism.
My hubby would jump on my error faster than when Granny shouted ‘BINGO!’ too early and embarrassed us all.😬
Do believe some things are better not said because of hurt feelings? Because you can hurt your income? Curious as to why?
Thank you for sharing!
Here is the biggest problem I see. Legislators and judges have taken to writing and enforcing laws which ignore, obfuscate, or undermine our (Citizen) Constitutional power over them. Most people in America have not caught on to this, they actually believe the legislators and judges are eagerly and actively protecting our Constitutional power over them. They are NOT and it is important for people to wake up and realize that ominous and ongoing threat to our sovereignty over them.
Anyone paying any attention knows you are 100% correct, Dan. It’s kindda like those folks who think that doctors hold the keys to health and who willingly pop every pill they’re prescribed!
So many are not paying attention!!! I talk to people daily that have no clue on current events. People in my own family. They will say it’s just too much. I’m sure my face turns fire engine red
Yes! The lethargy of the Citizens is what is allowing government to stomp our Constitutional power over them.
They say they do not pay attention to politics. I say if you are not at the table, you are on the menu!
…contributing to their own demise! I, for one, will go down kicking and screaming, if I am to be defeated!
when they pry your gun from your cold dead hand?
Agreed!
I’m gonna use this- THANKS
I get that as well.
Yes, I cannot believe District Judges are so arrogant they are interfering in the running of the country! They are appointed, not elected, and the Supreme Court should give them a good slap so they stay in their lane, which is their DISTRICT.
Sherry, not only arrogant but deeply corrupt, and protected by the equally rotten and corrupt BAR system.
What we have to figure out is how to get deeply lazy, do nothing citizens involved in first understanding the problem and then doing something about it because it is their responsibility as a Citizen who cares about their sovereignty over government. You see all the time, people getting fighting mad about a referee's call on a football game, but tell the same people the government has completely usurped their power over them and they don't have time for that.
We can also deploy the 2A solution, and it may eventually get to that. I'm becoming more and more convinced it is the only way we get our power over them back. A lot is riding on how much the Trump administration is doing and can get done against a legislative and judiciary which both oppose Trump's efforts.
Yep! Firm enough slap to send them right off the Bench.
Technically the legislative branch writes the laws, the executive branch enforces those laws and the judicial branch interprets and evaluates those laws to assure they comply with the constitution. I do agree that for at least a hundred years there has been approval of federal overreach and that has indeed disempowered the American citizen. And the American states. But a lot of that is being reversed by the modern SCOTUS. PTL. Vote smart and vote all the way down the ballot.
Technically, you are correct, but in actual operation it does not work that way, and it does not work that way at every level of government - although President Trump and his admin is doing damn near everything they can to restore our power.
We also need a legitimate system to vote. The programmable machines and mail in ballots have stolen our legitimate election system from us.... and I want to be clear, it was done intentionally.
Ultimately, it is going to come down to the Citizens deciding to fight to maintain our control of government. There is a concerted and ongoing effort to keep us fighting with each other instead of fighting corrupt government who is determined to make us their subjects.
Dan, you are directly over target. Release the bombs.
I agree about the elections. If you have not done so already check out Elizabeth nickson's piece(s) earlier this month on her Absurdistan Substack about Smartmatic and the source code buried in most, if not all, digital voting systems. That is what makes the mystery ballots so effective and why the evidence of election fraud was nearly impossible to prove in 2020.
I mostly disagree with your assessment of the judicial system though. Most civil lawsuits are brought between private parties go address allegations of wrongdoing by a n other or others. They are usually to recover damages, recover property or obtain injunctive relief. Suits to dispute the constitutionality of a law can be civil but challenges to constitutionality occur in criminal too. Constitutional challenges can be to federal or state constitutions and to federal or state laws. The nature of the challenge determines the jurisdiction - the authority of a court to act. Lastly we are absolutely IMO seeing
extreme judicial overreach in many of these federal district court opinions hamstringing the Trump administration. To the degree that some appellate courts considered to be reliably liberal are overturning the decisions. And the Supreme Court has issued many opinions validating the Trump
Admimistrations actions. For the most part the ones it has not were rejected for the REASON the action was taken leaving the Administration free to pursue the action under another theory. Additionally I feel certain that, as Jeff says, all of the Administration's "lawfare" is by design - to force clarification of the powers of the three branches of government but also to for e Congress to act.
Lynne, I have forwarded Elizabeth's and Lara Logan's interview far and wide. Have you seen the Logan interview? If not, watch it here, much of what Elizabeth wrote about came from Logan's interview. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gA9OCusr64A
Sorry, I still disagree with you on the civil system because it relies on judges who dont base their decisions on the law in far too many instances, if not all. And it is 1000 times worse when you (a Citizen) bring a civil suit against government.
Corrupt government employees and our "Representatives" need to go to jail, and you wont get them in jail with civil lawsuits. This is what I am concerned about, not people bringing lawsuits against each other.
I did not listen to all of the interview Lara Logan shared, but it confirms what I have gleaned from several sources: Venezuela has a truckload of billions of dollars, they control all elections (fraud) and they are the top narcoterrorist country. That is why the US military attack is imminent, and all will be addressed before the midterms. Thank you for that link, Dan!
Good for you on sharing the Nickson and Logan material. I have not watched Logan as I prefer writing. But I will make an exception on your recommendation. If election integrity can be restored, admittedly a big if, I think accountability will be restored. After a that is how it is supposed to work - you get elected and do a bad job you do not get re-elected. We also need to make sure government/civics is taught to the youth.
You can also get disenfranchised if you vote incorrectly. I got kicked off the rolls after I voted to recall governor Nuisance in CA.
Interesting, Eruca. I voted to recall Newsom and am still on the rolls, as did my husband and son. Not sure what happened to your registration but hopefully you’ve been reinstated.
Yikes. I still believe that recall election was full of fraud. Newscum is poison.
Agreed, they are number one, with legacy media as number two.
The Founding Fathers certainly knew the people's penchant for corruption and tried to get ahead of it but failed in one critical aspect. There are no penalties written in to the Constitution and Bill of Rights. They believed that enshrining language like "Congress shall make no law..." was sufficient prohibition. No one who writes and passes an unconstitutional bill is even censured (whatever that amounts to), let alone fired, fined, disbarred, or imprisoned. The "do something disease" flourishes without consequence for the activists. I don't know how this changes, but it should.
Partly probably because they all play in the same sand box and there is no accountability because at some point someone else will need a get out of jail free card so they aren’t hard on each other like they really should be. All bought and paid for.
It starts with a lawsuit brought by a concerned citizen to challenge the constitutionality of the law. That is the way the system is designed. The accountability should happen on election day. The fact that it all too often does not is either on We the People or a defective election process.
I disagree, civil lawsuits accomplish little if anything at all and corrupt judges may find you responsible for paying fines and attorney fees too (and don't forget you have to pay your rotten attorney's fees too), not only to repel you from ever bringing a lawsuit again but also anyone else who might consider it. State Judges will blow your civil lawsuit away, dismissing it for whatever reason they can dream up, then you have to decide to take it to the appellate, who will do the same thing, find a way to throw out the constitutional challenge. Next is the State Supreme Court, yet another level in the State system who will find any and every reason to dismiss or not take the Constitutional case. Why do I know this, because I have fought, and won - barely - in their deeply corrupt system. Civil lawsuits will simply not get us the justice we deserve.
What do I suggest as the far better alternative? File a criminal complaint instead of a civil complaint! Maybe with the state law enforcement - but they are less likely to do the right thing. Better to file the criminal complaint with the FBI - especially now that President Trump, Pam Bondi, and Kash Patel are running the show - I wouldn't have been able to say that while we suffered under ovomit and the corrupt and criminal regime of the biden autopen.
I'm working on developing a criminal complaint against my rotten to the core County government. I want them to go to jail for violating our Constitutional laws. I will keep everyone updated as I work through this process. If the local FBI doesn't do their job, I will take it up the chain of command. I really think this is how we bring them back under control by getting the FBI to investigate, a Fed District Attorney to bring it before a federal grand jury, a federal indictment for violating constitutional law, and a prison sentence. Once they understand we are not going to tolerate them ignoring our Constitutional power over them, they will stop violating and we can reassert control of them
Yes, we should remove them at the ballot box, how has that worked for us lately, especially with the s_Election system THEY have purposefully implemented against us, without our permission, so they can stay in power. THAT is the other thing we must fix, restoring a verifiable election system which expresses the will of the people, instead of the will of those in power over us.
Dan bringing the truths this morning. I have liked more of your posts today than ever before. Lol 👍
Hey Juju, we may get into it over cars... lol, but we have the same beautiful conservative values and I love you for it.
Right back at ya ❤️❤️
Power to you, Dan, and I pray for your success. Also, the center of election fraud in Venezuela is about to be upturned with the onrush of the US military to relieve the narco terrorists and cartels of their riches and their control of Smartmatic and all other election fraud machines, manipulations, and machinations. It’s all there and Trump knows it.
Hi Marsha, I think you are right about Venezuela - it is a corrupt haven for world-wide bad conduct including election theft in 72 nations - that number coming from the Logan Interview.
It sounds as if you are bitter about a personal courthouse experience. Do you think all judges are corrupt and all lawyers are rotten?
So civil lawsuits are between private parties. Usually they are brought by one party against an other or others to address some alleged wrong. They usually are for money damages but can be for the recovery of property or to obtain an injunction to prohibit an act or acts. They can indeed be excessively expensive.
Suits can be brought to challenge the constitutionality of a law, rule or regulation. Challenges of constitutionality can relate to the federal or state constitutions, or both, and to the applicability of either to state laws or to the applicability of the federal constitution to federal laws. Often challenges to constitutionality arise in the criminal context as lack of constitutionality is raised when someone is charged with violating the questioned law. The nature of the law challenged in a civil action determines which court has jurisdiction, or authority to act, and the appellate procedure followed thereafter. Some claims must be exhausted in state court before consideration in the federal system. Some are federal.in nature from the outset.
I agree that for the last few decades, at least, we have witnessed judicial overreach, what many refer to as activist judges. At the federsl.level, and to an extent the state level as well, this is empowered by federal overreach. When the federal government controls the minutiae of our everyday lives it is to be expected and has certainly culminated in what you describe - the federal district court judges hamstringing the Trump Administration. Some of that activity has been so egregious that even reliably liberal appellate courts are reversing the lower courts. The Supreme Court has been very supportive of Trump Administration actions and policies; even when thry have ruled against the Administration it has been because of the REASON relied on which leaves the Administration free to alter its reason. Like Jeff Childer's I believe the Trump Administration "lawfare" is carefully calculated to force clarification of the powers of the legislative, executive, and judicial branches. And more importantly to force Congress back to work to perform its only real mandate - pass legislation for the benefit of the citizens of the nation within the framework of the US Constitution. IMO it is a brilliantly conceived and deployed strategy that may well claw back considerable power to the states and individuals. If I am right it will all be the result of the judicial system.
Most (not all, but MOST) state superior court, appellate court, and Supreme court judges are corrupt, especially when it comes to enforcing Constitutional laws which would limit their power over us. And when it might limit government power over us.
No, not bitter, just see the situation for what it is, and the civil side is a disaster for the American people. We still see, and saw, how civil judges dismissed election lawsuits everywhere, always on standing, never on merit, and their interpretations on standing were stretched to say the least - especially in Arizona - where we no longer have elections - we have s_Elections which are upheld by the corrupt judiciary. So bringing a civil lawsuit for violations of constitutional law and election law, is like shooting yourself in the foot, or the head. Better to go to the Criminal route for getting meaningful action on criminal behavior by government.
Too many people believe the judges have the final say in all things, and government in the Executive and Legislative branches at Fed and State are responsible for allowing this to become the reality we suffer under.
Judicial over reach? No! Blatantly corrupt rulings which terribly undermine our Constitutional power over them and the rest of government.
You failed to mention if you work in the civil side of the law... a judge? a lawyer?
FYI, if power is returned, it wont be because of the Judiciary, it will be because of Trump (and his team) and his unending energy and willingness to fight for the American people.
How does the government pay to defend itself from lawsuits brought against it?
The government has legions of lawyers at its disposal. All of which is paid for by the taxpayers.
I wonder if unsuccessful plaintiffs are forced to pay all costs?
They sure as hell should be...
There is a trend in that direction. During my legal lifetime originally some expenses were taxable as "costs" for some types of suits. But it is expanding both by statute and caselaw. I think as a way to punish "vexacious litigants" who file lots of lawsuits and to discourage frivolous suits that are not supported by solid evidence.
Yes! They use taxpayer moneys they have stolen from us through unlawful taxation like property taxes and tax districts unlawfully forced on us.
Actually, there are penalties throughout US and State code. But its a matter of making the criminal complaint and having the commitment and wherewithal to see it through. But they don't want us to consider that, instead we are told to take our complaints to the civil system where they bend us over and violate us and our constitutional power over them, repeatedly. The civil system is a fraud against us, to undermine us.
Penalties for what exactly? I know public oppression and corruption are criminal conduct. But you started this with a comment about holding those who pass unconstitutional laws accountable. So I do not understand your position.
For violating Constitutional laws, for violating statutes. Not just those who pass unconstitutional statutes but also those who use the obfuscating statutes to pass more legislation - like a new tax district - which increases our taxes and gives them more power over us. So much of this is happening at County, City, township, and school board levels of "government".
The civil system does not work for us, in these worst situations where they are absolutely violating laws which give us supreme power over them. Which is why we must get them into the criminal side.
Question, are you a lawyer who practices on the civil side? Lawyers get rich on the civil side and they (the vast majority, not withstanding there are a very few who will make the constitutional fight) do everything they can to ignore and/or undermine our Constitutional power.
Apologies for the incomplete reply. Sometimes I see a reply to something I said but cannot link to it for awhile. Yes I am a lawyer and I have done civil and criminal, primarily criminal. I am unfamiliar with any statute anywhere which makes it a crime to pass a law that is unconstitutional. First any individual legislator just introduces a bill. The legislature as a whole passes it. And the governor or president signs it into law. Second, criminal conduct, with few exceptions (driving under the influence for example) requires proof of intent to do the illegal act and that would be impossible to establish in this scenario.
There are problems with state courts but I think it is more about ineptitude than corruption. My formerly deep red county has been.overrun by blue state refugees that "vote blue no matter who" and they elected a series of total buffoons. I am not exaggerating. It is why I retired. And let me tell you AI is not going to help. The scenario you describe will be the fact in the future because AI is by design a go along with the flow type of thing. The young lawyers see nothing wrong with that because the law requires that you follow precedent. But the way new caselaw is made is by that astute lawyer who knows the precedents but can cobble them together to form a new argument. That is being wholly lost in the digital legal world.
I agree wholeheartedly that the 2020 election fraud was mishandled. I too was infuriated by the standing argument. Every US citizen should have had standing to challenge every federal election because we were all damaged by it. But in all honesty nobody really had the evidence anyway. We had reasonable suspicion with the strange counts, suddenly appearing ballots, and the numbers just did not add up. But the only person I am aware of that had meaningful proof was Tina Peters in Colorado. And Lord knows she has paid a heavy price. Colorado has seriously mistreated her. But I do not think most people understand that at this point in time election law is one of the only areas of law that is exclusively state controlled. There are some federal laws but mostly regarding campaign funding. Each state controls the mechanics of elections from when and where to the ballot to the choice of machinery to registration of voters. Peters had the goods to establish the machinery was manipulated. Colorado imprisoned her for it.
Lynne, they certainly have more goods on nationwide election fraud now, and they know the operations were run out of Caracas, a big part of the impending attack there by US military personnel.
Hi Lynne, okay, now that I understand you are a representative of the BAR, I can treat you as the hostile witness that you are... I say that only half jokingly and because you have been civil during this discussion - of course we know that is how lawyers disarm their clients.... What do you get with a million lawyers at the bottom of the ocean? A small, but good start. It is a mostly reprehensible "profession" of con artists and criminals, most of whom conspire together against the people they supposedly represent and all of whom think they know better than everyone else about EVERYTHING. There were a lot of people, real, legitimate experts who had meaningful proof - I provided a 57 page detailed analysis to my county and state of how they were using ES&S Election equipment and mail in ballots to manipulate our elections. They never refuted one word in the document - at any level - they simply black holed it, I presume to push me to filing a civil lawsuit they would easily dismiss - without reviewing the evidence - as they did all over AZ and the country. One of my corrupt county officials, who claimed to be a constitutional conservative did acknowledge it and that it was extremely detailed and demonstrated serious flaws which would enable mass election fraud. Of course he didn't do a damn thing with it, not wanting to put his own carcass on the line, and because in reality, he is a RINO - a wolf in sheep's clothing. RINOs, as you probably know are worst than actual Democrats because of their dishonest and duplicitous behavior - although not quite as bad as lawyers...
States run elections only because the people do not realize that each county has the power to run elections as they see fit, but they don't do it because they are a part of the election manipulation system built to make us their subjects.
So, with all of that said, is, or is not, the US Constitution and the State Constitution you live in the supreme law of the land upon which any statutes created must be in full conformance? I will wait for your answer before I develop this further.
When, blacks in our Government cry out about "racism" (you know who they are), My question is why? black people in the USA have it better here than any other place on the entire planet
Too bad the USA does not do better by their presence.
Race grifting is a huge industry.
You sound like me arguing with the idiot leftists from other countries on LinkedIn! I had a Canadian telling me how great their healthcare system is, so I’ve been replying with links to them sending folks to MAID for euthanasia because either their treatments aren’t available there … 🤪
CeeMcG, here's one From Global National: Canadian Vet Requests Wheel Chair Lift, Offered Medically Assisted Suicide Instead: https://old.bitchute.com/video/BXYlwXHTPOvm [36 seconds]
Be sure to include the MAID activity book: If she chooses this option, her grand-kids will be given a 'Medical Assistance in Dying' (MAID) booklet to explain to them why she is choosing to kill herself, while subliminally encouraging them to do the same: https://kidsgrief.ca/local/staticpage/pdf/ACTIVITIYBOOK.pdf
TriTorch, Thank you for the link to Canada’s MAID activity book for children. Definitely intending to subliminally normalize the suggested activity. Note in the text that ‘the person has to request MAID . . . and they then meet with two or three members of their healthcare team’, which are termed MAID assessors. Realized I was transliterating that term into MAID assassins. The mind works in mysterious ways, jumping to what I would call accuracy, eh?
Nice, your mind works a step ahead webstermill
Oh my God. A coloring book? 🤦🏼♀️. Thank you, TriTorch! Will keep this in my links for future reference! Hope you had a Merry Christmas!

"...The bottom line is that a courageous, muscular Christianity is back at the helm..."
For this to be more than political theater playing to the MAGA base in anticipation of the midterm election, we need to see a revival in America's churches. We need to see a "Black Robe Regiment" of young pastors preaching a "courageous, muscular Christianity" who declare that "Christ is the Lord' without any apologies. The pastors that have been "leading" the American church from the back of the cultural bus need to be replaced.
The first human being that the Gospel was revealed to was a 14 yr old girl from a backwater town called Nazareth. How upside down and amazing is that?
Mary responded first with ‘Healthy Doubt’: “How will this be for I am a virgin?” (Luke 1:34)
She then responded with Humility: “Behold, I am the servant of the Lord, let it be to me according to your word (Luke 1:38)
Then finally, Mary replied with Wonder:” My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for he has looked on the humble estate of his servant. For behold, from now on all generations will call me blessed; for he who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is his name. And his mercy is for those who fear him from generation to generation. He has shown strength with his arm; he has scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts; he has brought down the mighty from their thrones and exalted those of humble estate; he has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he has sent away empty. He has helped his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy, as he spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to his offspring forever.” (Luke 1:46-55).
This is ‘Mary’s Song’.
My hope is that the ‘muscular Christianity’ remembers fully its roots, and joins Mary in her chorus, celebrating the ‘Mystery of Faith’
And let us all do our part in keeping America the best and most free country in the world! We especially need our men to be the defenders and protectors of our nation, our communities and our families!
Julie Ann, My brother came to my house last night to celebrate Christmas. This helped to write my comment today. My father grew up in the depression and volunteered to go fight in WW2. While there he was shot twice, one time in the hand. The third time however he was shot through his back and came out through his chest. This was during the Battle of the Bulge. He was put on the side of the road there in Germany. He told me he could hear GI’s saying that’s Goodrich he’s going to die. He said when he took a breath he could feel the blood gurgling from the hole in his back. I think this is why I am so angry that Europe is where it’s at today. The sacrifice my father gave to the Europeans is lost to this bullshit authoritarianism they have allowed to take over there. My father was sent to England where a surgeon removed a lung and saved his life amazingly. My father’s sacrifice turned into my families sacrifice when he died when I was only 20. So last night my brother and I were discussing how disheartened it is as to what’s happened there in Europe. As they do everywhere the socialist left has destroyed Europe, and so many of us have payed a severe price for what?
James, your dad is a hero. He sacrificed so much, endured pain and much physical difficulty due to his brave service to our country. I can understand why you and your brother are disheartened; so am I but you must be incredibly proud of the man he was. What an example he must have been to your family! My mom had 4 of her 6 brothers serving in WWII at the same time but all in different branches. Her mom died when they were all very young but she said her dad cried every day wondering if his sons were dead or alive. What a great generation! Thank you for sharing that story.
Thank You Julie Ann B
Amen to that, James!
Agreed!
Yep, I love America. We saw during Covid only the beautiful USA didn't bow down to the medical tyranny. Former Western civilization safe havens like Canada and Australia had camps and pastor arrests
God bless the USA!
As 2025 and its Christmas fades into the rear view, blessings to Jeff and this army into this new year and all that follow.
“Nowadays people know the price of everything and the value of nothing.” —Oscar Wilde
The Faded, Blue Blanket, by Fred Bauer
The most frightened shepherd that night was little Ladius, just ten. He cowered behind his three older brothers when the brilliant star lit the hillside. And when the angel appeared, he hid behind a huge rock.
Yet after Ladius heard the glad news, fear left him, and he limped back to his brothers who were planning to set out for Bethlehem.
“Who will tend the sheep?” asked Samuel, the oldest at sixteen. Ladius, leaning against his shepherd’s crook to support a crippled foot, volunteered:
“I’d only slow you down. Let me stay with the sheep.” He bit his lower lip as he talked. The brothers weakly protested, then made plans to go.
“We must each take a gift,” said Samuel. One brother chose his flint to start a fire for the Christ Child. Another picked meadow lilies to make a garland for the King. Samuel decided on his most precious possession, his golden ring.
“Here, take my blanket to Him,” said Ladius. It was badly worn—faded with patches.
“No, Ladius,” said Samuel tenderly. “The blanket is too tattered to give even a beggar—let alone a King. Besides, you will need it tonight.”
The brothers departed, leaving Ladius alone by the fire. He laid his head upon the blanket and buried his face in his hands. Tears forced their way between his fingers, but soon the hush of night soothed the boy’s heartbreak. The world in silent stillness lay…..
“Are you coming Ladius?” called a voice. Standing nearby was the same angel who had brought the news. “You wanted to see the Child, didn’t you?”
“Yes,” nodded Ladius, “but I must stay here.”
“My name is Gabriel,” said the angel. “Your sheep will be watched. Take my hand—and bring your blanket. The Child will need it.”
Suddenly, Ladius was outside a stable. Kneeling by a manger were his brothers. Ladius started to call out, but the angel lifted a finger to his lips.
“Please give me your gift,” Gabriel whispered. The angel took the blanket and quietly covered the Baby. But the cover was no longer faded. Now it glistened like dew in the brilliance of a new day.
Returning, Gabriel squeezed Ladius’ hand. “Your gift was the best because you gave all that you had…”
“Wake up, Ladius, wake up.” The boy rubbed his eyes and tried to shield them from the glaring sun. Hovering over him was Samuel.
“Did you find Him?” asked Ladius.
“Yes,” smiled Samuel, “but first tell me why you were sleeping without your blanket.”
Ladius looked about wonderingly. The faded, blue blanket was nowhere to be found—then or thereafter.

Thank you for the real substance of Christmas story. Tears.
I love it that stories like this are shared so readily, and appreciated so much, by the C&C community. It’s a family really, in the sense of “Ohana” from Hawaiian culture. It’s why I spend time each day beyond Mr. Jeff’s brilliant commentary to mine the depths of wisdom and insight, humor and encouragement here in the comments by names that have become as familiar as good friends over the years. God bless you all, may your Christmas joys continue to blossom as we soon trade this momentous year for the next one. Laus Deo
God bless you too Guy White!!
Yes! Give all that you have. God is so good all the time. We are so blessed. Thank you for this very important message 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Same reason "The Little Drummer Boy" is my favorite Christmas son. "I played by best for Him."
Thank you!
You really need to stop making me cry so much with your replies ❤️❤️❤️😉🥲
Nicely shared! Thank you.
“During the difficult years, we carefully preserved optimism here in C&C, against tall odds.”
This. Thank you, Jeff.
I also picked this quote.
Good morning Jeff and beloved C&Cers. Happy day after Christmas. Hoping you all had a wonderful holiday with family and friends. Let's all look forward to 2026 with daily prayers for our President and "most" of the swamp creatures. Love love love you Jeff and your daily stack of yummy goodies.

Wow. Among the many things I didn't have on my Bingo card for 2025: Nicki Minaj speaking out publicly for persecuted Christians in Nigeria!
So based! I can't decide her best song between 'Did it on them' (2011) or 'Stupid Hoe' (2012).
The Times claiming that “Government officials have traditionally steered clear of such overtly religious language" just proves how worthless they are as a source of true information.
They should spend the next year actually reading the copious documented references to God, the Bible, and religion by governmental officials from the entire history of our nation, not just the past few decades, during which bad actors sought to stamp out any Christian influence and language
“Unburdened by what has been” = communism.
And in order to become unburndened you must first destroy and build back, and oh boy, are they destroying:

Can't "own nothing and be happy" about it if you still own something...
"Own nothing and be happy," not in Christ Jesus, but instead in the systems that men have devised. Sarcasm, in case it isn't obvious.
They want us to make progressivism our sabbath.
And: Nihilism our faith. Wickedness our creed. Hell our destiny.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religion
Progressives have NEVER steered clear of religion. They only ever espouse religion, the religion of those who reject Christ Jesus as Messiah.
This is more twisting of language for the purpose of furthering deception.
“Traditionally” if you are only talking about the last twenty years or so and ignore the entire rest of American history 🙄

“I never cease to be amazed at how effective the system is at getting people who deeply agree on 90% of things to fixate on the superficial 10% they disagree on and perpetually fight each other over it rather than tolerating their differences of opinion and working together to fix the 90% that deeply affects the quality of their lives.”

I love that quote. The system is designed to throw sand in the gears of a healthy society, keeping the right amount of tension and conflict to effect a slow-motion subversion of our culture. I enjoyed a holiday celebration that ended up being free of partisan rancor. I think the system is breaking down
The rest of the article, citing examples, was quite salient.
Monday?
It does feel like a Monday. Lol. Sorry Jeff, we still have to finish this week before starting next. We can chalk it up to maybe you had more than your share of eggnog.
I had to check my calendar….. today is Friday, right?????
It’s always Monday somewhere.
And it's 5:00 somewhere. They might balance out, if you squint real hard as you look at it.
@Delightful- I got an eggnog latte at Starbucks the other day. I couldn't finish it so I put it in the fridge. I had a post-op dr appt the next morning at the ungodly hour of 8:20 so when I got home I poured the latte into a mug, warmed it in the microwave, and then added a splash of Maker's Mark Bourbon to make up for the early morning dr appt. So I made it 5:00 at 9:30 am.
😆😆🤣
When you work 12 hour shifts 7 days a week, everyday is Monday!
I’m sorry LES.
Feels like it😄☕️🍪
It does!
You guys nailed my thoughts - I saw the heading before my coffee and was thinking - do I have Covid? 🤔 After a few sips of coffee I sorted it out. Well, moving forward - Happy New Year!
Time travel
Perhaps what they caught was a case of the mondays!
Mondaypox.
Overhang...
Lol. Freudian slip? 🤔 If I was working today, it would definitely feel like the mother of all Mondays. 😆
I thought I had too much eggnog! I was waiting for someone to say it was Friday before I did
Feels like Monday.
monday monday; can't trust that day; it sneaks in on friday sometimes
We need to remember, you can take a person out of the third world but you can't take the third world out of a person.
A lot of the time that's true. Joseph Ladapo is a great counterexample.
My wife and I had Christmas dinner alone this year, due to my untimely beastly cold that would have contributed embarrassing and unwanted coughing/sneezing/nose blowing fits to the otherwise enthusiastic celebration.
But, here's another Christmas Miracle. We live in the bluest city in Kansas. Saying "Merry Christmas" is silently verboten here in Lawerence. To ward off further despair from missing the annual Christmas Dinner, we went for a walk. The weather was unseasonably warm, 60+ degrees. As we walked, we encountered a young boy (I'm guessing 10 years old) riding his new bike, probably for the first time. He was wearing what looked like pajamas and a shiny new helmet. He smiled and said, "Merry Christmas" as he passed.
A bit further along we met a young woman wearing shorts. I smiled and said "shorts?" She laughed and said, "Absolutely, Merry Christmas".
Then a 3rd encounter, we met two young jogging men who gave a us a breathless "Merry Christmas" as they breezed past.
We couldn't have been given a better Christmas gift...a miracle indeed!
Moral of the story: never believe the media, trust the boots on the ground ❤️🙏
Here in Northern CA I’ve been say Merry Christmas to most everyone I see - most reply “Happy Holidays” but hasn’t stopped or slowed me at all!
I do too. Merry Christmas with a smile to the flight attendant as I left the plane. She replied Happy Holidays with a grin. We’re all in this together.
They're correcting you.
America is the land of opportunity for individuals who are motivated.
A fifteen-year-old boy in my town started a lawn-mowing service when he was fourteen, mostly for friends and acquaintances of his folks. But his great work, absolute reliability, and moderate prices increased his client base through word of mouth. This now fifteen-year-old boy has a pickup truck, closed trailer, and riding mower he purchased with his own earnings. If a lawn customer has dogs, he added poop removal for a fee to his services. He added snow removal to his services.
A twin-home HOA neighborhood was pretty mad at the exorbitant prices they were being charged by the developer for snow removal. Word-of-mouth directed them to this boy, who now has purchased a plow for the front of his truck, and which is generating even more income for him.
I needed my lawn mower to have an oil change and general tune-up; he came and got it and returned it the same day, with new spark plugs, sharpened blades, completely cleaned, and far better than I had anticipated.
All of this is self-motivated with the approval of his parents. But their involvement is only with helping him navigate the legal aspects of his business. It is 100% his own drive and work that will have him buying his first house when he's eighteen years old.
PS: He is a Midwestern born and bred fifth generation USAmerican boy.
It always amazes me that these stories about self motivated, successful "kids" find their way in with jaw dropping aplomb! I am 73, retired at 63, left the sh*t hole of L.A after 63 years. It all started with a push mower. God bless this self starter, help him by referring customers.
Love to hear great stories just like this! My boss was an Iowa boy and became so successful in every endeavor he tried and all the while retained the happy, positive and friendly demeanor of an Iowa boy! He has since passed and I miss him very much!
He does not work for his parents.
In our state, there is no legal age requirement to own a truck. He can own all of that equipment. A 14-year-old would need an adult to register and insure the vehicles in their name.
14-year-olds are allowed to have a restricted driver's license here, and 16-year-olds can have a full, unrestricted driver's license.
The drivers license is restricted. The ownership is not.
You seem pretty unsupportive of youthful motivation.
What state do you live in or operate out of? Are all state laws the same?
We are not in want of your take on anything as we are all in the Christmas Spirit and indeed wish to continue this and your tone is offensive and filled with hubris. Please go elsewhere with your opining and bad mojo.
Annnnd, all this negative crap is precisely why stories like this are so rare. Build in some fear of laws, taxes and failure and you can pretty much stop anyone in their road to success. I think this is called communism. I hope the kids succeeds to the point that he rents out his garden shed to you while you navigate your %26 Mastercard balance in your retirement. GET OFF!
Wow, I can picture you hunched over your keyboard pounding out your Trieste for communism. How pitiful for you.
Wow, between your gigantic intellect and my spell checker, You have been crowned the winner. Cover your keyboard before you celebrate.
"Bah, humbug."
I hope 2026 finds the Trump admin pushing DOGE again.
Seemed to fizzle hard once Elon mentioned audits of the military.
And Elon's discovered "Magic Money Machines" were another reason Trump torpedoed most of DOGE.
The Fed is again massively printing money, continuing the debasement of the dollar... but Elon's "machines" are spewing it out in huge numbers... which have never been counted in the already appalling money supply numbers.
Will Elon again take over DOGE, with NO restrictions? Doubt it.
A DOGE DOD audit could crater the dollar and the financial system... remember Rumsfeld's missing TRILLIONS... never found and quickly quashed by Israel's 911 attacks? How many more TRILLIONS have been "lost"??
We're going into "debt" way too fast for legitimate buyers of US debt to buy it. The buyers are being created out of thin air. I'd say it's been that way for something like 15 to 20 years.
It's a little different from the "magic money machines" because with the magic money money machines (basically electronic printing presses) there was no debt created to have to pay interest on.
With these bogus buyers of debt, interest is paid to - who? It could be the CIA. Could be NGOs. Could be anybody connected.
Well... it could be BS, but China and Japan both used to buy a ton or our trashy debt... I think they have both backed off... China is selling and probably buying gold with the proceeds... not sure about the Saudis...
Now, it is my understanding that the FED is the "buyer of last resort"... I think they now hold over a trillion... but who knows?
Regardless... I think a collapse is already in the cards... just a lot closer... gold and silver might be telling the tale of woe...
They are all buying gold and silver now, and when the military hits Caracas we shall find where and why about the trillions of dollars gone missing, along with cartels and election fraud…the answers are all there.
And when Elon said DJT was in the Epstein files.
Well DJT is in some of the Epstein files - and they pretty much show he wasn't a "client".
Elon did more or less apologize for saying that.
A lot of stress that led to the "breakup" was over Musk's pick for heading NASA getting refused. He's now in as the head.
Pete Hegseth predicts they’ll be able to pass the audit in 2028! Sounds like he’s not even going to try for years 2026 & 2027! He should be fired! And Trump should be pissed, but of course he’s not!
Maybe I give too much grace but he was working with crap! I’d say if he passes an audit by 2027 I’d be happy. Gotta make sense of the non sense. Trying to give grace
Working with crap? He’s got his people in place. If they’re not corrupt thieves then they should be able to pass an audit.
I am amused at the thought that his people could instantly uncover all the kinks and foibles in an entity as large and multifaceted as the Department of War, formerly Defense.
Giving a pass to government officials who can’t or won’t do their job is partly how we got to $38T in debt and the inflation and debasement of the dollar that followed it.
Hegseth is a baby faced bitch who focuses way too much on optics vs doing what’s right. He’s made some good choices but not everything is about pt
It makes one wonder why Trump was associating with known pediphiles and lying about flying on epstein’s plane.
You don’t make that kind of accusation without having some solid proof.
Was the coughing in the background the variety like *cough, cough - just saying* or from illness?
Advice to avoid the latter: reduce sugar consumption and increase vitamin C consumption to several thousand milligrams per day (get pure ascorbic acid powder to avoid sugar and fillers; it's also much cheaper than gummies or fizzy drinks).
EDIT: OOPS! I originally typed several thousand 'grams' instead of 'milligrams'. Don't do that! 😂
Ascorbic acid is made from GMO corn. Hard pass on that. Find Vit C that is made from fruits/vegs or rose hips. This is a great old video by Dr berg.

Not all ascorbic acid is made from GMO corn, but yes, that is something to watch out for.

Good point... I just found the info on AI... could be wrong.
I think some common additives in supplements are problematic too... Silicon Dioxide for one...

many indicate non-GMO... but.. But are they all truthful?
Food-sourced organic vitamin C might be the best way to go... but.. are they really organic?? Jeeze!
I think you meant several grams per day, or several thousand milligrams. Linus Pauling is said to have consumed 10-20 grams of vitamin C daily. Let bowel tolerance be your guide. Merry Christmas!
Yes, I just caught that. Thanks.
I personally take 12 grams per day as a maintenance dose (split up into 3 doses of 4 grams each — morning, midday, and evening), and have taken up to 40 grams per day when sick.
That’s a lot!
Theo Farmer takes 60 g a day!
Theo Farmer here on Substack has good info about the whys and hows of Vitamin C supplementation.
https://theofarmer.substack.com/p/becoming-homo-sapiens-ascorbicus
We cautiously consume 2 grams of C a day, more if threatened by illness, but no illness since before 2021. And no vax, lots of Vitamin D3 + K2, up to 20 000 IUs per day. Keeping very well.
and you can try gargling with MMS or taking it orally. Margaret Anna Alice just did a wonderful post on how she healed her Mom using MMS when the docs wanted to use very harsh and dangerous meds instead for her Mom's cough d/t Lady Windemere Syndrome. Dr Pierre Kory guided her on this as well!
MMS???
aka Miracle Mineral Solution. There is also CDS aka Chlorine Dioxide Solution.
A Midwestern Doctor, Pierre Kory and Curious Outlier have written extensively about these as has Jim Humble. You can use internally, externally for wounds and as oral rinse. Some are also using in their pets. Of course MSM and CDC and all the Covid liars say it is bad. Don't listen to them.
Bravo!!
I prefer the more well-tolerated form, CDS... but MMS is great too.
Hi AD!
Wishing you merry days and a Happy New Year!
Hi, Lori!!
Had a nice Xmas dinner with friends... looking forward (with appropriate trepidation) to '26.
I sure would like to get hammered on good blanco tequila New Years Eve... but getting too old for that anymore... dang!
I hope you are well and happy.
Have a few sips of that smooth blanco tequila and enjoy on NY Eve and enjoy!
Plus no hangover and that is a win win!
I really meant to say CDS, sorry.
;-)
Your comment is blocked by Substack, Lori.
I can read it...
I can read it too so I don't think it is blocked Navyo????
It's blocked in the UK. Two of yours and one of Abiding Dude's. Have to use a VPN. Except when replies are notified in my Email app, where I can read them! Which makes it all even more pointless.
I am so sorry about this. The UK has run mad. And I hope substack is not censoring as that would defeat the purpose of its existence.
I think it's a legal thing. Substack has to comply with UK/EU law.
And your comment on Vit C is banned by Substack in the UK as 'Age-restricted content' !!
I am not even IN the U.K., EU or Australia and I am being censored by Substack!!!!! Three times they ask my age and I click and nothing happens. Jeff, please look into this! See Tonya’s original message above, for me, there is that ‘submit age’ message. I am not happy that some EU bureaucrat, un-elected and un-accountable can decide what ADULTS around the world can and cannot see, read or hear. Substack needs to take a HARD look at their newly implemented policies before they lose readership. Mis/disinformation is a U.N., WEF and EU construct and those words mean nothing. WHO is to tell me what is true or not? Certainly not the EU Commission. Most people know how to draw their OWN conclusions and don’t need some biased people behind the curtain controlling whether or not I can even see content.
You can see the comment if you use a VPN. Windscribe is free.
I had posts on Facebook about vitamin C removed or suppressed in 2020
IMHO...The UK and most of NATO are now our obvious ENEMIES.
Russia would make a FAR better and stronger ally.
Of course…can’t help anybody stay alive.
