Fight the good fight of faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called, and you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses. I charge you in the presence of God, who gives life to all things, and of Christ Jesus, who testified the good confession before Pontius Pilate, that you keep the commandment without stain or reproach until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ, which He will bring about at the proper time—He who is the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords, who alone has immortality and dwells in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen or can see. To Him be honor and eternal might! Amen.
This is a most splendid holding forth. It signals that Christian Faith is not a Faith the exists for the sole purpose of making our lives easy, safe, effortless. Out of being dashed against the Rock of Ages (inclusive of Adversity) for All Ages further signifies that there is a Supreme Imperium which compels us to choose between right and wrong, God's Laws or Man's Whims, or else do the bidding of Satan and thereby suffer the unhappy consequences.
Would that Man choose wisely that He not run to extinction.
This Satanic stuff is doing to deep six us miles under. The rest of the world looks at this stuff and is repulsed. I think that this egregious Satanic abortion has gone so far that it would take the Collective West a hundred years at least to recover. And then only if totally repented of.
I'm sort of there. My response to the ever-increasing evil is "whatever." By that, I DO NOT mean that I don't care and I am not doing what I can to fight the evil, but what ultimately happens to me, or anyone else, is not within my control. I have to trust God to bring me through it and make a choice not to worry.
I’m with you Anne. “The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and my salvation, my stronghold.” Psalm 18:2
Anne, thank you for this. There is sooo much that is out of our control. We can only control how we respond, as individuals. Thank you for this reminder!
The congregations of America need to start responding not only as individuals but a the church militant with their feet firmly planted in God's law and their heads fully covered with the helmet of salvation. It's time to pick up the sword of God and engage the enemy in our nation. This is going to require a "new generation" of church leadership as the existing leadership of the church has, by and large, been co-opted by the enemy along with the rest of the culture.
I don’t agree Anne. Patriots and the wise and awake must get busy and unite peacefully. Millions across the world detest the Deep State, and we must find a way to unite together and oppose our fate. Read Alexander Durgin’s book “The Great Awakening vs. The Great Reser.” It’s been banned but available at the publisher’s site for $4.95. The site is Arktos.com. Durgin pleads with us all to organize and spread the word about the Great Awakening.
I agree, Great Reflect, and I don't believe what I wrote is opposed to what you wrote. I'm not in favor of giving in, but I am having a hard time finding others who want to fight the evil. I seem to be among a group of people who are more interested in being comfortable. For me, it's a matter of coming to terms with the fact that things might get really bad. For instance, I used to worry about the government taking our money. Now I have accepted that they probably will at some point, so I am buying whatever I want or need, within reason, as well as donating to charities or individuals who need help. Since the terror attack in Israel I have decided I need to learn how to use a gun. My husband has been encouraging me to do so for a long time. I still don't really want to, but it seems prudent during this crazy time. We've certainly got thousands of terrorists in our own country and it's only a matter of time until they attack.
Thank you Jeff for the Michigan electors update and explanation. I believe the idea is to frighten anyone from questioning anything about the 2020 election or any going forward. As my wise pastor stated months ago, everything will be fought in court. Even if the case is ridiculous the state will bring charges knowing that most defendants do not have the wherewithal to fight a state who uses taxpayer money to prosecute their own taxpayers. What does a corrupt state government have to lose? Until these corrupt state AG’s are somehow held accountable, they will with impunity come up with these unproven charges and slow walk them while this state sinks into anarchy.
LAWFARE - Not that long ago this type of activity would be limited by budgetary constraints.
However that has gone by the boards as there are no longer any budgets. During covid all the blue states went "bankrupt" and were rewarded with the CARES ACT sending billion or trillion$ of printed Federal Reserve money to (shore up?) the blue states finances while the so called RED States were penalized? for running surpluses. When the law of Supply and demand is replaced with Modern Monetary "Theory" the result is the dissolution of Private Property and eventually Civilization...."Budgets?! WE DON'T NEED NO STINKIN' BUDGETS!
Excellent summary! You just wrote a whole book in one paragraph. The Great Divide continues to widen. The blue states are going broke and the Woke Bolshevik Federal Government will increasingly tax the productive red states to support the blue states. At some point, the red states will be forced to divorce themselves from the blue states and the Fed Gov't out of self-preservation. The Fed Gov't will "not allow" this.
They don’t care. They have control and they will not relinquish it. They now say the quiet part out loud. They made the laughable attempted kidnapping of Whitmer last almost 3 years before they acquitted all arrested, knowing that this was all planned by the FBI. There was video after the 2020 election showing election workers and certifiers being threatened. The harm was done, the videos disappeared, and our election process was totally destroyed.
I live in MI. we re-elected the evil witches. There are no longer fair elections in MI. Trump and John James won MI and it was stolen from them in the dead of night. Shame on the Dems for such behavior.
Hotbeds of corruption in Wayne, Oakland, Macomb, Genesee, and Ingham Counties. Throw in Washtenaw with the incubator known as the U of M and you have the current situation. It's shocking to think that that the Republicans controlled all three branches of Michigan government as recently as 2017. They launched their attack with Whitmer in 2018 and haven't looked back, particularly with the perpetually hapless Mi GOP track record of "own-goals", Like the herpes simplex, the democrat virus is now deeply rooted in Michigan's spinal ganglia. I don't see how Michigan makes its way back. It's sad because I still own a house there that I have no interest in visiting.
It’s said the process is the punishment. These frivolous lawsuits need harsher punishments. Dana might not care if she wins, but knows the process is emotionally tiring and expensive for these defendants.
She's been given the green light by being re-elected, and these shenanigans are to discourage decent electors from running again. Good strategy, but I sure hope some honest judges will see through them and give 'em he!!
You will only believe she was re-elected if you believe the 2020 election was not corrupted. She did not bring these charges until she was safely reinstalled in office. The Michigan Supreme Court went 5 Liberal judges to 2 conservatives in the last two elections. No one will give them he!! in this state.
I have started using a frequency healing device-QuantumHealingSystems.org...amazing healings are happening. We can be healed! We can live longer and happier. Frequency is the future of medicine, not another pill!
Freedom of speech also means freedom not to speak. I will not use a pronoun that does not fit born gender and no one can force me to open my mouth and use one. "This human" works fine for me if you're going to push it, but refusal to engage at all works better. The whole thing is insane.
I think those 5 members of the MI supreme court have zero common sense.
I'm not placating anyone. No neutrality from me. But just to be sure, how about some macho men grabbing the testicles of these weirdos (ala Crocodile Dundee) just to make sure?
Such bold, strong people these Alphabet Types are: Sent scuttling back into the woodwork by a friggin pronoun. They'll be low-hanging fruit when the wolverines eventually run thru the vineyards.
In the everyday, I'm thinking about a comeback like, "You don't have the right to disrupt my ordered thought process. I choose to keep order in my thoughts. If me keeping my thoughts ordered hurts your feelings, then I will be forced to discount you from my thoughts altogether." Then look past them or through them as if they aren't there, and for Pete's sake don't engage further.
Have NOT engaging (i.e., ignoring), NOT thinking about another, NOT permitting intrusion on one's being been codified as a hate crime?
Whip out phone with camera. I would think verbal assault (destined to come at some point against the person of ordered thought doing the phone videoing and not responding or engaging - even to the most vile onslaught; remember, the job at hand is to get the hate on video) could be a chargeable offense. At the very least, the video could be posted publicly on the web. It's not like the person of ordered thought is fabricating facts/”facts” and would be liable for slander. The hate might get the post canceled, violating terms of service and all that, but where's the hate coming from?
Just trying to think of ways to remove their influence from personal discourse, one sad, bent-on-manipulating-to-their-twisted-sense-of-satisfaction, mental case at a time. What have I missed in regard to this proposed tactic? Where could it backfire?
Maybe if we all started using pronoun-less language as in Jeff's example: "John told me John is going to get John's car fixed as soon as John has the time to do it." Seems like this would eventually drive the nuts crazy.
I’m a nurse and I just use a name or sweetie or darling, etc. I won’t do it. I do think those who want be called they/their have multiple personalities, so in a way it is right!!! I feel so so sorry for them, that they are so confused, conflicted, and unstable is sad. My heart breaks for them. I just love on all my patients, pray, and give them into God’s keeping!
I know C&C is full of believers. I read Jeff's blog EVERY morning and have for about 2+ years. If you have time today, pray for me as today is election day here in Louisiana. I'm in a race with 4 other republicans, up against an establishment candidate. I am the only candidate endorsed by the Freedom Caucus. Its been an experience for sure. I'm confident that most of you would agree with my anti-woke, pro oil & gas, anti-lockdown, anti-mandate anti-green new deal platform. We are blessed to live in America!!! Thank you
Thank you for asking! Just looked at your website--you make me wish I lived in Loozy-ana (as my mother always pronounced it, spending her first married years there at an army camp). Praying for God's hand over your campaign. May His will be done. And having said those few words to/with Him, I realized that your very campaign web-page shows how fast the tide is turning--that you dare to be so clear, so out-spoken, on conservative positions. I have never before seen such. Thank you!
I will pray for you Hollis! Thank you for putting yourself in the line of fire to protect and represent conservative, Constitutional values. I’ll be watching...and praying!
Congratulations Paul Hollis for winning over 75% of the vote for this victory! Answered prayers for you. Keep up the good fight. May He who is greater always be your guide.
Oh my! I just came on to these comments to see if there was any news--prayed for his campaign through the night as well. Thanks for alerting us with this wonderful message!--Edit--Oops--wrong Hollis. Paul Hollis is not Hollis Day who requested our prayer.
With Soros shuttering offices and cutting staff, perhaps one might be able to find a good deal on leftover pallets of bricks that never made it to various downtown areas.
I am wary of him cutting staff. It seems consistent with all major banks closing 3,000 branches nationwide this past WEEK. He knows what's coming and is just saving the last bits of wasted money. Something is coming.
I think this Soros thing is part of the Apex Rulers having ordered a major pivot, a walking back at things. This was unexpected by me as to shuttering down, but I am not totally surprised either. And so many people are climbing all over themselves to reposition themselves in the new coming and in progress walk back. Jeffery Sachs, Mr. Sustainability and WEF contributor now seen talking another totally different talk in places like the Duran Channel on YouTube, Odessey, Rumble.
I fear that they the Apex Financial Power (the Hidden Hand) are merely shooting for Woke-lite marketed as a saner 'conservative' posturing. Many people will fall for this. And things may well improve in daily life, but the All Seeing Eye of the Terror State will not disappear. It will only put on a new mask of disguise.
This goes along with the British Prime Minister's recent "ad" walking back some of their woke programs. Minute 48:45 of The Highwire https://thehighwire.com/watch/
I would like to think Newsome is turning his attention to saner policies, but methinks these were simply to garner more positivity from his opponents, knowing each and every one of these vetoes would be overridden by the legislature:(
People who move the kind of money around that Soros has will do things to move it around that we don't understand. He has so much money it has become meaningless to him. Maybe he cares more about power at this point.
The next phase of his scheme may be to put his money into assets that he believes will be useful to him, while he watches the world devolve into chaos.
Jeff, 💯% agree. I told my friend a couple days ago this has to be a trap. In so many ways. They planned this so well, they knew what they were doing and the response from Israel and the world.
It even seems now that the Ukraine money drain was a way to reroute dollars to Hamas. Iran is behind it all with the assistance of the Muslim Brotherhood’s Obummer. It’s all becoming more apparent to me.
I thought it was a trap and complete surprise attack for the Israelis until I watched this body language analysis by Bombard of a speech by their leader.
Ohhhh...I feel it was coordinated with inside Israeli govt somehow. Or. Compromised.but I find it hard to believe that it was such a surprise. I think for some lower levels it was. And with a trapping and baiting. If we assume a go t at the top will not throw people under the bus than we have learned nothing.
Yup, gov'ts willing to throw their own people under a bus... Who signed up lustily to be guinea pigs for Pfraudzer, a corp stock tanking steadily since mid-December 2023? Who got margin calls after gambling on stock options? Whose turbo cancer and sterilization rates are seeing light of day?
People of Israel were/are not happy with Bibi, neutering their Supreme Court and trying to change their constitution (not to mention being Pfizer's guinea pigs). There were major protests against him planned for last weekend. Now, he's installed an emergency govt and has emergency powers. I hear 80% of Israelis think their govt was either incompetent or complicit in allowing the attack. I think it's a play to regain their waning support.
Thank you, Jeff, for the history lesson on pronouns. As a (former) English teacher I was unaware of this. The part of this pronoun nonsense that’s never made sense to me, other than not being grammatically correct, is we don’t address someone directly by their “preferred pronoun.” It’s only when speaking OF them. For example, I wouldn’t say to Maddie who now goes by Matt, “Hey, he” or “Excuse me, they.” 🤦🏼♀️
As one grammarian to another, I would point out that English is poverty-stricken in the matter of pronouns. Only 3 cases, 3 persons, singular and plural. Italian and Latin have a lot (confusingly lot) more--so much more information is 'encoded' in their pronouns.
The Spanish word for non-binary is either 'no binario' or 'no binaria.' I love that because while it's still nonsense, at least it acknowledges the reality of biological sex! The Latin word homo refers to the species, and includes men and women. Whereas vir refers to a male/man and femina a female/woman. English doesn't have that distinction.
How about Man and Mankind, both female and male inclusive. And then a man or male (not female). And then woman, female (not male). I think that is how it worked and very well ... until the Cretins started tearing everything.
And then there were boy and girls, and we from onset of birth and on through all of school and thereafter, always knew who the boys were and who the girls were. And then the Cretins stepped and ever since it's been an ungodly mess of chaos.
Glad I can speak German which has declensions for masculine, feminine, neuter and plural. I whip out the neuter one a lot when I am expected to read the minds of the pronoun cultists. They want me to use their pronouns of illogical choice? I wap 'em with a reply in German! "Was sagst du?" [What are you (familiar form, not formal) saying?] usually gives them a nice mental shock, a pause forcing them to engage their brains. You want to pay crazy grammar games? I'm in for the win!
This is undeniably true. And Greek such as was the New Testament used is said to be a very precise language. And yet English is one of the most descriptive of languages in use today if properly learned.
Diagramming language structure is what we once did. We learned parts of speech, clauses, phrasings and all sort of things about verbs. It was all for the sake of clarity of mind by orderly coherent speech. But now this is not studied ... and all is a Tower of Babel. It is all meant to keep our minds in a perpetual state of confusion. But the downside, is that the confusion invariably destroys the civilization. And then we pay the price in spades.
Hi Jayne! This apparently has been the case for years and years.
The writing in America was pretty good up into and throughout the nineteen-fifties, even though the subversives were already at work. With the nineteen-sixties, and thereafter, the cry of trajectory has been 'excelsior and ever downwards'. You can see it in sentence construction as well as truncated, diminished vocabulary. It's almost like linguists met in the Hotel Trieste, submerged themselves seven miles down into the depths of the deep blue ... and then blew themselves up.
And this is strange. A number of years ago read something about how elite preparatory schools were urging that pupils were to learn to write and talk with simple words and simple sentence construction because this would allow for them to speak better to the masses by speaking to them on their level. And maybe there is something to this ... something like a brotherhood of the collective of dumbing down as a kind of tenet of Woke Idealism. Okay! Sounds rather 'out there' strangely bizarre! And yet if you look at almost any old line American family, each successive generation seems more stupid and licentiously degenerate than the previous. The abandonment in the schools and in higher learning centers of standards has led directly to the rise of Clown World in the upper echelons, both old line and nouveaux.
Remember that there will be a total eclipse 4/8/24 visible in the US. I saw the one in '17 and it blew me away. I have every intention of seeing the one in April, but it's cloudy in Ohio today so I won't see the one today. Luckily I saw one in in May of '94, I think. Make plans to see the April one. You won't regret it. Path of totality in April: https://www.timeanddate.com/eclipse/map/2024-april-8
Laughably, our NE Ohio city will be one of the best viewing areas for the total eclipse in April. It’s laughable because it is never sunny in our area unless it is June July Or august. All of this hullabaloo and it will amount to nothing because of the perpetual cloud cover.
I get it. Central Ohio is about the same, especially in the spring. West Ohio will be in the path of totality but I intend to travel anywhere I need to because Ohio clouds. Last time I wound up in TN.
Supposedly, the Ravenna Arsenal was placed there specifically because the Russkies' satellites wouldn't be able to penetrate the near perpetual cloud cover.
Was a Portage county resident through the 80's. Moved there from FL in '78 - one week before the blizzard.
It’s very strange here, we’re right in the path in Central Oregon, but its overcast. It’s now 9:41 and I have no birds at my feeders. We usually have doves, quail, songbirds and varmint chipmunks.
It does seem like it got darker a few minutes ago.
I remember the ‘17 eclipse. Someone gave my husband a few pairs of the sunglasses to watch it. As of 11:20AM, It’s overcast here in N.E. Florida. Our eclipse window is 11:50-2:57PM.
I would think that someone could have a blast with the pronoun thing. Go into court with ridiculous pronouns and make the judge and lawyers use them. Then change them every hour.
(Or whatever one could do making full use of the ruling the way it is written.)
Yes, I have been saying if I have to have pronouns, mine are I/me/mine for years!!
Sad part is, when I say this, I just get those same blank looks from the woke as I got when I was naked faced in a store and they were masked, during the mandates. Breaks their brains.
Jeff wrote: "In other words, he’s a doer, not a talker. His acceptance was described as “a speech without frills or sweeping ideological vision, marking a distinct change in tone from the left-leaning government that Luxon’s party ousted.”"
This put my guard up - a doer for whom?
He spent 18 years at Unilever and then was somehow qualified to go run an airline. This guy smells like a globalist cabal doer. He was "placed" at New Zealand airlines.
He also supported the NZ “no jab, no pay” policy for sanctioning welfare beneficiaries who do not vaccinate their children
In addition, it is reported: "In February 2021, it was revealed that while Luxon was CEO of Air New Zealand, its contracting business unit Gas Turbines was assisting Royal Saudi Navy vessels, despite them blocking essential supplies like water, food and medical assistance from Yemen. Luxon claimed to "have no recollection of it" and that "it might've post-dated my time" – the latter claim being disputed by his successor Greg Foran. It was met with criticism from Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern and the Green Party's human rights spokesperson Golriz Ghahraman.[20] Luxon later admitted it "was a mistake" that Air New Zealand did not have a process whereby its chief executive would be told about all military contracts.[21]"
Indeed. Sure, he's better on economic policy than Labour (even a newborn baby would be) but was exactly the same as Jacinda when it came to vax mandates etc. Totally onboard with all that. Never questioned any of it or sought to hear the 'feral' Wellington protesters side of the story. Until he proves otherwise I regard him as another WEF stooge.
I believe he is another stooge and the people in NZ will not be much better off than we were with Ardern. Not much will change for the better. He does not speak out against the lies of climate change with more and more draconian rules being put in place that will bankrupt the farmers who are the life blood of the NZ economy.
I like that side of him but he was far too vocal supporting the vax mandates and speaking against the Wellington protesters. Yet to be convinced he's not a total WEF head who will go all out authoritarian if it suits Klaus.
Well I got that his business experience meant he had spent time in the 'real world' but Jeff mentioning deodorant and ice cream - vs the more generic 'consumer products sales' I thought, wow that's an odd combination! But given the wokeness of too many corporations these days I am starting to thing business experience is not the feather in the cap of candidates it used to be.
Festivus is a classic Seinfeld episode and had me smiling immediately at the beginning of your blog!! The airing of grievances is needed at times so George and his Dad were on to something! Haha! Regarding my smile, I’ve felt sad all week over all the innocents that have died. We so desperately need light in this dark time and we get that light from Jesus and also our family, friends, community, comedy,sports, exercise, good food and your amazing blog Jeff. Thank you!
And woe is me---I never saw even one episode of that show. In fact, for a long time I didn't even know what was being referred to by mention of "seinfeld". Lower case intentional.
I'm no longer a TV person but Seinfeld was a fav of mine. One of my favorite episodes was Eileen and Jerry at the airport car rental desk. His reservation had been overlooked and they didn't have a car for him. He then began a long rant about the definition of a "reservation". 🤣
The gender identity of a member of the public is a part of their individual identity, regardless of whether others agree or approve.” I'm old fashion and still struggle to understand this stuff. So, if I'm required to honor / use pronouns mine would be My Superior. so every time they address me they have to say , My Superior. Do I have this right? or how about? Jesus Saves'
@Gregg Keyes Exactly. Found out yesterday that my daughter is going to a wedding where the maid of honor is “non-binary,” so “it” has decided to be called the “Duke of honor.” If my eyes roll any harder I’ll be able to see my brain 🤦🏻♀️
Unbelievable. Sounds like that "it" is trying to hijack the attention in the wedding party, which should be on the bride and groom. Disgusting behavior.
FourWinds it’s all about attention, isn’t it? These people must have some serious childhood trauma (either imagined or real) to always be demanding attention like a toddler.
Exactly. I know a girl who started this crap in college. At home, she was her parents’ little princess. Their only daughter whom they loved.
She owned big brothers, but they were just her servants. The toll her parents paid to finally get their girl.
She went off to university where she was just another freshman cog in the machine. By October her freshman year, she was a “he” and taking testosterone shots.
It’s shameful that the adults in her life enabled and encouraged this. Now, she’s almost 28 years old and physically destroyed.
Oooh I was at a wedding when a gay couple got engaged on the dance floor in the middle of the reception. I thought it was tacky and taking away from the bride and groom. Do that nonsense somewhere else.
I’m a nurse and we literally had a Haitian patient who’s legal first name was” His Majesty.” Imagine the looks when we addressed him in the waiting area.😂
Yesterday I opened a mailing from Mutual of Omaha, offering me a "Don't Wait! ...next month you can breathe a little easier!" supplemental cancer coverage policy. Pointing out that 'over 1.9 million new cancer cases are expected to be diagnosed in 2023 alone (American Cancer [continuation/encouragement] Society, Cancer Facts & Figures, 2023". Could it be the shots?
This is an attempt by the health insurance company to get cancer coverage out from under your comprehensive and catastrophic health insurance policy which would normally cover any claims like this. The companies know that a HUGE wave of cancer claims are coming and in fact are already seeing it. They have to find a way to sell a lot more policies or dramatically raise existing premiums to cover the claims they know are coming from vax induced cancer. Same for life insurance companies.
There are two groups on FascistBook that I am aware of and the increase of young people since 2021 with advanced cancer at first diagnosis is noticeable. A young woman recently died after giving birth just two weeks prior. Dr. Makis from Canada was on The Highwire not long ago discussing the Turbo cancers. He is on Substack.
Very much too bad that he blocks people from reading /commenting if they have not paid to subscribe. I wonder how many of us are paying for a number of subscriptions, but reading many more?
2nd Smartest Guy on substack has been posting a lot of studies about Ivermectin, Febendazole and Doxycycline and their anti-cancer properties, many can be used in tandem with traditional treatments.
Anyone with prostate cancer, please look up Doorless Carp on Substack and PectaSol. It’s modified citrus pectin, no downside and it has tremendous ability to lower PSA numbers- Doorless breaks down the numbers and Big Pharma won’t touch it because they can’t make money from it!
I don't trust Soros and I especially don't trust his son. The fact that he's closing offices doesn't mean anything. He's up to something and it can't be good. Nothing he does is good.
"An eight-year-old boy from Israel has tragically died of a heart attack, three years after appearing in a government-sponsored video that promoted the COVID vaccine for children. Yonatan Moshe Erlichman suffering cardiac arrest while taking a bath. The child was taken to Hadassah Hospital in Mount Scopus in serious condition but died a few days later on September 28."
How many more children will dies because their parents gave them the shot. I'm in MI and I hear radio/TV ads put out by our governor Witchmer telling parents to "vaccinate" their children 6 months and older. This is genocide!
Fight the good fight of faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called, and you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses. I charge you in the presence of God, who gives life to all things, and of Christ Jesus, who testified the good confession before Pontius Pilate, that you keep the commandment without stain or reproach until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ, which He will bring about at the proper time—He who is the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords, who alone has immortality and dwells in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen or can see. To Him be honor and eternal might! Amen.
— 1 Timothy 6:12-16 LSB
Amen...clinging to the Rock in this tempest-tossed world. 💚🕊️💚
“I have learned to kiss the wave that throws me against the Rock of Ages.” —Charles Spurgeon
This is a most splendid holding forth. It signals that Christian Faith is not a Faith the exists for the sole purpose of making our lives easy, safe, effortless. Out of being dashed against the Rock of Ages (inclusive of Adversity) for All Ages further signifies that there is a Supreme Imperium which compels us to choose between right and wrong, God's Laws or Man's Whims, or else do the bidding of Satan and thereby suffer the unhappy consequences.
Would that Man choose wisely that He not run to extinction.
Yes. The moral equivalency of Satan is very prevalent in our age and many are sucked in, believing it is the way of peace.
This Satanic stuff is doing to deep six us miles under. The rest of the world looks at this stuff and is repulsed. I think that this egregious Satanic abortion has gone so far that it would take the Collective West a hundred years at least to recover. And then only if totally repented of.
Sadly too much of the rest of the world is likewise guilty of abortions.
I did see this bright spot of news.

Psalm 137:9 says, “Happy is the one who seizes your infants and dashes them against the rocks”?
PS: I’m not quite there yet.
I'm sort of there. My response to the ever-increasing evil is "whatever." By that, I DO NOT mean that I don't care and I am not doing what I can to fight the evil, but what ultimately happens to me, or anyone else, is not within my control. I have to trust God to bring me through it and make a choice not to worry.
I’m with you Anne. “The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and my salvation, my stronghold.” Psalm 18:2
Anne, thank you for this. There is sooo much that is out of our control. We can only control how we respond, as individuals. Thank you for this reminder!
The congregations of America need to start responding not only as individuals but a the church militant with their feet firmly planted in God's law and their heads fully covered with the helmet of salvation. It's time to pick up the sword of God and engage the enemy in our nation. This is going to require a "new generation" of church leadership as the existing leadership of the church has, by and large, been co-opted by the enemy along with the rest of the culture.
Just to be clear, I love the Rock. The wave? Not so much.
I don’t agree Anne. Patriots and the wise and awake must get busy and unite peacefully. Millions across the world detest the Deep State, and we must find a way to unite together and oppose our fate. Read Alexander Durgin’s book “The Great Awakening vs. The Great Reser.” It’s been banned but available at the publisher’s site for $4.95. The site is Arktos.com. Durgin pleads with us all to organize and spread the word about the Great Awakening.
I agree, Great Reflect, and I don't believe what I wrote is opposed to what you wrote. I'm not in favor of giving in, but I am having a hard time finding others who want to fight the evil. I seem to be among a group of people who are more interested in being comfortable. For me, it's a matter of coming to terms with the fact that things might get really bad. For instance, I used to worry about the government taking our money. Now I have accepted that they probably will at some point, so I am buying whatever I want or need, within reason, as well as donating to charities or individuals who need help. Since the terror attack in Israel I have decided I need to learn how to use a gun. My husband has been encouraging me to do so for a long time. I still don't really want to, but it seems prudent during this crazy time. We've certainly got thousands of terrorists in our own country and it's only a matter of time until they attack.
Oh, that’s beautiful 💕. Hide me the cleft of the Rock!

Dang. First Covid and now we have to deal with Covis! When will it end...:)
Well it caint be any worse than Schlong Covid…!
Yup it was bad. After extensive testing they found the remedy: Long Grovid
Ohmygoodness! Thanks for that one! 🤣🤣🫣🤣🤣
Thank you Jeff for the Michigan electors update and explanation. I believe the idea is to frighten anyone from questioning anything about the 2020 election or any going forward. As my wise pastor stated months ago, everything will be fought in court. Even if the case is ridiculous the state will bring charges knowing that most defendants do not have the wherewithal to fight a state who uses taxpayer money to prosecute their own taxpayers. What does a corrupt state government have to lose? Until these corrupt state AG’s are somehow held accountable, they will with impunity come up with these unproven charges and slow walk them while this state sinks into anarchy.
LAWFARE - Not that long ago this type of activity would be limited by budgetary constraints.
However that has gone by the boards as there are no longer any budgets. During covid all the blue states went "bankrupt" and were rewarded with the CARES ACT sending billion or trillion$ of printed Federal Reserve money to (shore up?) the blue states finances while the so called RED States were penalized? for running surpluses. When the law of Supply and demand is replaced with Modern Monetary "Theory" the result is the dissolution of Private Property and eventually Civilization...."Budgets?! WE DON'T NEED NO STINKIN' BUDGETS!
Republican AGs need to get in the game and start punishing their political opponents using those same tools.
Indeed. Where are our AGs? They need to get engaged.
Excellent summary! You just wrote a whole book in one paragraph. The Great Divide continues to widen. The blue states are going broke and the Woke Bolshevik Federal Government will increasingly tax the productive red states to support the blue states. At some point, the red states will be forced to divorce themselves from the blue states and the Fed Gov't out of self-preservation. The Fed Gov't will "not allow" this.
Nailed it!
That Dana is the gift that keeps on giving. She needs a shirt that says “Self-Inflicted”.
They don’t care. They have control and they will not relinquish it. They now say the quiet part out loud. They made the laughable attempted kidnapping of Whitmer last almost 3 years before they acquitted all arrested, knowing that this was all planned by the FBI. There was video after the 2020 election showing election workers and certifiers being threatened. The harm was done, the videos disappeared, and our election process was totally destroyed.
I live in MI. we re-elected the evil witches. There are no longer fair elections in MI. Trump and John James won MI and it was stolen from them in the dead of night. Shame on the Dems for such behavior.
Hotbeds of corruption in Wayne, Oakland, Macomb, Genesee, and Ingham Counties. Throw in Washtenaw with the incubator known as the U of M and you have the current situation. It's shocking to think that that the Republicans controlled all three branches of Michigan government as recently as 2017. They launched their attack with Whitmer in 2018 and haven't looked back, particularly with the perpetually hapless Mi GOP track record of "own-goals", Like the herpes simplex, the democrat virus is now deeply rooted in Michigan's spinal ganglia. I don't see how Michigan makes its way back. It's sad because I still own a house there that I have no interest in visiting.
You seem to imply that there are fair elections elsewhere. Where? They are not Democrats but DEMONcrats
Illinois found to be the WORST STATE for jerry manderiing. Who didn't know!?! We have districtS that like like snakes all over the state. 👺
It’s said the process is the punishment. These frivolous lawsuits need harsher punishments. Dana might not care if she wins, but knows the process is emotionally tiring and expensive for these defendants.
She's been given the green light by being re-elected, and these shenanigans are to discourage decent electors from running again. Good strategy, but I sure hope some honest judges will see through them and give 'em he!!
You will only believe she was re-elected if you believe the 2020 election was not corrupted. She did not bring these charges until she was safely reinstalled in office. The Michigan Supreme Court went 5 Liberal judges to 2 conservatives in the last two elections. No one will give them he!! in this state.
In other countries frivolous lawsuits are punishable
Loser pays all court costs. Both sides can deploy costly lawfare.
See Illinois gun registration case.
Oh, they have ALOT to lose. Maybe some of us won't live long enough to see it in this life but they WILL lose.
I have started using a frequency healing device-QuantumHealingSystems.org...amazing healings are happening. We can be healed! We can live longer and happier. Frequency is the future of medicine, not another pill!

Another shillbot. Pay it no nevermind
But Jaci isn’t a bot. She’s a regular commenter. 🤔
That was my thought. So, now I'm wondering if our profile here can be hijacked and used by a 'shillbot', whatever that is??? Jeez!
Is she real? She's subscribed to 27 substacks. 🤷♀️
Not really. We have been brainwashed by BigPharma for generations. We have totally lost the concept of true healing.
not all of us.
Do I get free boosters for life with my purchase? Be gone, troll. Your underpass is lonely without you.
Also, it's about making sure people are too scared to question anything in future elections.
Yes it’s very sad - these electors are everyday people and don’t have deep pockets to defend themselves.
Freedom of speech also means freedom not to speak. I will not use a pronoun that does not fit born gender and no one can force me to open my mouth and use one. "This human" works fine for me if you're going to push it, but refusal to engage at all works better. The whole thing is insane.
I think those 5 members of the MI supreme court have zero common sense.
I like "this human" as a replacement for pronouns. It simultaneously avoids giving in to the insanity while mocking the nonsense.
I'm not placating anyone. No neutrality from me. But just to be sure, how about some macho men grabbing the testicles of these weirdos (ala Crocodile Dundee) just to make sure?
But what about the Furries???? 😅🤣😂😆🤪
Use "this animal."
But what about those that identify as non-human? They might be offended... wow

Such bold, strong people these Alphabet Types are: Sent scuttling back into the woodwork by a friggin pronoun. They'll be low-hanging fruit when the wolverines eventually run thru the vineyards.
🙌
This Was AWESOME!!!!
This is fabulous.
In the everyday, I'm thinking about a comeback like, "You don't have the right to disrupt my ordered thought process. I choose to keep order in my thoughts. If me keeping my thoughts ordered hurts your feelings, then I will be forced to discount you from my thoughts altogether." Then look past them or through them as if they aren't there, and for Pete's sake don't engage further.
Have NOT engaging (i.e., ignoring), NOT thinking about another, NOT permitting intrusion on one's being been codified as a hate crime?
Whip out phone with camera. I would think verbal assault (destined to come at some point against the person of ordered thought doing the phone videoing and not responding or engaging - even to the most vile onslaught; remember, the job at hand is to get the hate on video) could be a chargeable offense. At the very least, the video could be posted publicly on the web. It's not like the person of ordered thought is fabricating facts/”facts” and would be liable for slander. The hate might get the post canceled, violating terms of service and all that, but where's the hate coming from?
Just trying to think of ways to remove their influence from personal discourse, one sad, bent-on-manipulating-to-their-twisted-sense-of-satisfaction, mental case at a time. What have I missed in regard to this proposed tactic? Where could it backfire?
It is amazing how low the bar is to become a MI Supreme Court justice!
Maybe if we all started using pronoun-less language as in Jeff's example: "John told me John is going to get John's car fixed as soon as John has the time to do it." Seems like this would eventually drive the nuts crazy.
or, use the Star Trek phrase: carbon based lifeform
Many are "carb-based lifeforms."
😆😆
This is the way.
I’m a nurse and I just use a name or sweetie or darling, etc. I won’t do it. I do think those who want be called they/their have multiple personalities, so in a way it is right!!! I feel so so sorry for them, that they are so confused, conflicted, and unstable is sad. My heart breaks for them. I just love on all my patients, pray, and give them into God’s keeping!
"Common sense" is a contradiction in terms. These people are self-consciously pushing a specific agenda.
Corrupting the language of a country to be overtaken is a Marxist tool. Don't play along.
💯
I know C&C is full of believers. I read Jeff's blog EVERY morning and have for about 2+ years. If you have time today, pray for me as today is election day here in Louisiana. I'm in a race with 4 other republicans, up against an establishment candidate. I am the only candidate endorsed by the Freedom Caucus. Its been an experience for sure. I'm confident that most of you would agree with my anti-woke, pro oil & gas, anti-lockdown, anti-mandate anti-green new deal platform. We are blessed to live in America!!! Thank you
www.hollisforhouse.com
Thank you for asking! Just looked at your website--you make me wish I lived in Loozy-ana (as my mother always pronounced it, spending her first married years there at an army camp). Praying for God's hand over your campaign. May His will be done. And having said those few words to/with Him, I realized that your very campaign web-page shows how fast the tide is turning--that you dare to be so clear, so out-spoken, on conservative positions. I have never before seen such. Thank you!
Saying a prayer for you, and thank you for stepping up!
I will pray for you Hollis! Thank you for putting yourself in the line of fire to protect and represent conservative, Constitutional values. I’ll be watching...and praying!
Best of luck Mr. Day.
praying
Prayed!
Praying for victory!!!! 🙏🙏🙏
Congratulations Paul Hollis for winning over 75% of the vote for this victory! Answered prayers for you. Keep up the good fight. May He who is greater always be your guide.
Oh my! I just came on to these comments to see if there was any news--prayed for his campaign through the night as well. Thanks for alerting us with this wonderful message!--Edit--Oops--wrong Hollis. Paul Hollis is not Hollis Day who requested our prayer.
Good luck to you, Sir. Definitely in my 🙏 and also went to your Twitter “X” page and RT some post in support. 🍀
How did it go? I can't actually find the result on this internet thing.
I came in 3rd...so no run off for me. It was fun. I'm supporting the other outsider in the race to beat the establishment candidate.
With Soros shuttering offices and cutting staff, perhaps one might be able to find a good deal on leftover pallets of bricks that never made it to various downtown areas.
I do need to build a wall. 😄
That is solid thinking
"Balaclavas and truncheons, half-off, today only!"
😂🤣😂
I am wary of him cutting staff. It seems consistent with all major banks closing 3,000 branches nationwide this past WEEK. He knows what's coming and is just saving the last bits of wasted money. Something is coming.
I think this Soros thing is part of the Apex Rulers having ordered a major pivot, a walking back at things. This was unexpected by me as to shuttering down, but I am not totally surprised either. And so many people are climbing all over themselves to reposition themselves in the new coming and in progress walk back. Jeffery Sachs, Mr. Sustainability and WEF contributor now seen talking another totally different talk in places like the Duran Channel on YouTube, Odessey, Rumble.
I fear that they the Apex Financial Power (the Hidden Hand) are merely shooting for Woke-lite marketed as a saner 'conservative' posturing. Many people will fall for this. And things may well improve in daily life, but the All Seeing Eye of the Terror State will not disappear. It will only put on a new mask of disguise.
This goes along with the British Prime Minister's recent "ad" walking back some of their woke programs. Minute 48:45 of The Highwire https://thehighwire.com/watch/
And Newsome vetting 100 woke agenda bills in California. 🤔
I would like to think Newsome is turning his attention to saner policies, but methinks these were simply to garner more positivity from his opponents, knowing each and every one of these vetoes would be overridden by the legislature:(
I'm almost willing to bet that he'll replace Biden in the upcoming 2024 election...if we have one.
People who move the kind of money around that Soros has will do things to move it around that we don't understand. He has so much money it has become meaningless to him. Maybe he cares more about power at this point.
The next phase of his scheme may be to put his money into assets that he believes will be useful to him, while he watches the world devolve into chaos.
Saving the $$ for elections. It doesn’t take a lot of people to pay a lot of money to buy elections.
Jeff, 💯% agree. I told my friend a couple days ago this has to be a trap. In so many ways. They planned this so well, they knew what they were doing and the response from Israel and the world.
Agreed, it just doesn’t feel right
It even seems now that the Ukraine money drain was a way to reroute dollars to Hamas. Iran is behind it all with the assistance of the Muslim Brotherhood’s Obummer. It’s all becoming more apparent to me.
It's a war of 75 years. Who's blocking peace?
By trap, do you mean when the Israelis get to the ground action in Gaza?
Yes...but also the bigger picture. Hamas knew what the trigger would be, they knew how the world would react to any responses from Israel.
I thought it was a trap and complete surprise attack for the Israelis until I watched this body language analysis by Bombard of a speech by their leader.
https://www.bitchute.com/video/pYPabQBIedtu/
Ohhhh...I feel it was coordinated with inside Israeli govt somehow. Or. Compromised.but I find it hard to believe that it was such a surprise. I think for some lower levels it was. And with a trapping and baiting. If we assume a go t at the top will not throw people under the bus than we have learned nothing.
Yup, gov'ts willing to throw their own people under a bus... Who signed up lustily to be guinea pigs for Pfraudzer, a corp stock tanking steadily since mid-December 2023? Who got margin calls after gambling on stock options? Whose turbo cancer and sterilization rates are seeing light of day?
Learned a new word today. "Semibankirschina"
https://www.aier.org/article/why-pfizer-and-moderna-are-suddenly-charging-500-percent-more-for-covid-shots/
https://russiapedia.rt.com/of-russian-origin/semibankirschina/
People of Israel were/are not happy with Bibi, neutering their Supreme Court and trying to change their constitution (not to mention being Pfizer's guinea pigs). There were major protests against him planned for last weekend. Now, he's installed an emergency govt and has emergency powers. I hear 80% of Israelis think their govt was either incompetent or complicit in allowing the attack. I think it's a play to regain their waning support.
As you can see I am a great back seat driver😏
Thank you, Jeff, for the history lesson on pronouns. As a (former) English teacher I was unaware of this. The part of this pronoun nonsense that’s never made sense to me, other than not being grammatically correct, is we don’t address someone directly by their “preferred pronoun.” It’s only when speaking OF them. For example, I wouldn’t say to Maddie who now goes by Matt, “Hey, he” or “Excuse me, they.” 🤦🏼♀️
As one grammarian to another, I would point out that English is poverty-stricken in the matter of pronouns. Only 3 cases, 3 persons, singular and plural. Italian and Latin have a lot (confusingly lot) more--so much more information is 'encoded' in their pronouns.
The Spanish word for non-binary is either 'no binario' or 'no binaria.' I love that because while it's still nonsense, at least it acknowledges the reality of biological sex! The Latin word homo refers to the species, and includes men and women. Whereas vir refers to a male/man and femina a female/woman. English doesn't have that distinction.
How about Man and Mankind, both female and male inclusive. And then a man or male (not female). And then woman, female (not male). I think that is how it worked and very well ... until the Cretins started tearing everything.
And then there were boy and girls, and we from onset of birth and on through all of school and thereafter, always knew who the boys were and who the girls were. And then the Cretins stepped and ever since it's been an ungodly mess of chaos.
Side note but I love the meme I saw a few years ago with: Fe male—the original Iron Man 😁😆
Lots of different word for "love" too.
Glad I can speak German which has declensions for masculine, feminine, neuter and plural. I whip out the neuter one a lot when I am expected to read the minds of the pronoun cultists. They want me to use their pronouns of illogical choice? I wap 'em with a reply in German! "Was sagst du?" [What are you (familiar form, not formal) saying?] usually gives them a nice mental shock, a pause forcing them to engage their brains. You want to pay crazy grammar games? I'm in for the win!
This is undeniably true. And Greek such as was the New Testament used is said to be a very precise language. And yet English is one of the most descriptive of languages in use today if properly learned.
Diagramming language structure is what we once did. We learned parts of speech, clauses, phrasings and all sort of things about verbs. It was all for the sake of clarity of mind by orderly coherent speech. But now this is not studied ... and all is a Tower of Babel. It is all meant to keep our minds in a perpetual state of confusion. But the downside, is that the confusion invariably destroys the civilization. And then we pay the price in spades.
I've been told if you want to write a book these days you ought to write it to 9th grade grammar if you want it to sell well!
Hi Jayne! This apparently has been the case for years and years.
The writing in America was pretty good up into and throughout the nineteen-fifties, even though the subversives were already at work. With the nineteen-sixties, and thereafter, the cry of trajectory has been 'excelsior and ever downwards'. You can see it in sentence construction as well as truncated, diminished vocabulary. It's almost like linguists met in the Hotel Trieste, submerged themselves seven miles down into the depths of the deep blue ... and then blew themselves up.
And this is strange. A number of years ago read something about how elite preparatory schools were urging that pupils were to learn to write and talk with simple words and simple sentence construction because this would allow for them to speak better to the masses by speaking to them on their level. And maybe there is something to this ... something like a brotherhood of the collective of dumbing down as a kind of tenet of Woke Idealism. Okay! Sounds rather 'out there' strangely bizarre! And yet if you look at almost any old line American family, each successive generation seems more stupid and licentiously degenerate than the previous. The abandonment in the schools and in higher learning centers of standards has led directly to the rise of Clown World in the upper echelons, both old line and nouveaux.
That high of an age level!
Right? I thought the target reading level was 4th grade. Maybe that's just journalism. Books appeal to a higher 9th grade level. 🙄
Remember that there will be a total eclipse 4/8/24 visible in the US. I saw the one in '17 and it blew me away. I have every intention of seeing the one in April, but it's cloudy in Ohio today so I won't see the one today. Luckily I saw one in in May of '94, I think. Make plans to see the April one. You won't regret it. Path of totality in April: https://www.timeanddate.com/eclipse/map/2024-april-8
Laughably, our NE Ohio city will be one of the best viewing areas for the total eclipse in April. It’s laughable because it is never sunny in our area unless it is June July Or august. All of this hullabaloo and it will amount to nothing because of the perpetual cloud cover.
I get it. Central Ohio is about the same, especially in the spring. West Ohio will be in the path of totality but I intend to travel anywhere I need to because Ohio clouds. Last time I wound up in TN.
Supposedly, the Ravenna Arsenal was placed there specifically because the Russkies' satellites wouldn't be able to penetrate the near perpetual cloud cover.
Was a Portage county resident through the 80's. Moved there from FL in '78 - one week before the blizzard.
It’s very strange here, we’re right in the path in Central Oregon, but its overcast. It’s now 9:41 and I have no birds at my feeders. We usually have doves, quail, songbirds and varmint chipmunks.
It does seem like it got darker a few minutes ago.
You had an eclipse up there 4-5 years ago.
Yes we did, it was a big deal! Lots of visitors to our area.
It was pretty cool.
We had one in Portland when we were kids. We had special glasses but not like the modern ones.
I remember the ‘17 eclipse. Someone gave my husband a few pairs of the sunglasses to watch it. As of 11:20AM, It’s overcast here in N.E. Florida. Our eclipse window is 11:50-2:57PM.
“said the defendants have been “brainwashed” by President Trump.”
If President Trump is that powerful, he should be back in office.
Yea, why didn’t he brainwash enough people to be re-elected or over turn the electorates... clowns
Pretty astounding how much power they think Trump has!!
El Rushbo often remarked that Trump lived rent-free in many libs' heads.
Supply and demand for the win.
With that much empty space available, the rent drops to zero!
😆
Honestly, it’s mind boggling to me
😂
I would think that someone could have a blast with the pronoun thing. Go into court with ridiculous pronouns and make the judge and lawyers use them. Then change them every hour.
(Or whatever one could do making full use of the ruling the way it is written.)
One could insist that their pronouns are “your honor” and/or “innocent”. This could be fun!
Oh, I would definitely choose your honor. That would be beyond hilarious.
I’d spell it yer onher just to make it more fun.
Exactly!
Your honor
Your highness
Innocent (I like that!)
He who must not be named
A friend of mine also suggested him/he just to really mess with people’s brains
At the very least someone could come up with a fantastic “who’s on first” comedy routine based on the ruling
It does seem to me that the court is trying to rule against the first amendment.
Stella Morabito has made a great suggestion.
https://thefederalist.com/2022/08/25/pronoun-police-are-playing-an-unfunny-game-of-hus-on-first/
Yes!!!
I/me/mine would be amazing
Or “I feel at one with all of humanity, so my pronouns are “we/us”
Imagine the complete confusion in the courtroom.
Yes, I have been saying if I have to have pronouns, mine are I/me/mine for years!!
Sad part is, when I say this, I just get those same blank looks from the woke as I got when I was naked faced in a store and they were masked, during the mandates. Breaks their brains.
Ha! good for you.
(love the name of your Substack! are you on Nostr?)
Thanks, no, SS my only soc media--too much as it is!
I/me
Love it!
"who has sold deodorant and ice-cream"....I KNOW there has to be a joke in there somewhere, I guess I have not had enough coffee yet.
Fine as long as one does not confuse a drumstick with a rollon
😆😆
Jeff wrote: "In other words, he’s a doer, not a talker. His acceptance was described as “a speech without frills or sweeping ideological vision, marking a distinct change in tone from the left-leaning government that Luxon’s party ousted.”"
This put my guard up - a doer for whom?
He spent 18 years at Unilever and then was somehow qualified to go run an airline. This guy smells like a globalist cabal doer. He was "placed" at New Zealand airlines.
He also supported the NZ “no jab, no pay” policy for sanctioning welfare beneficiaries who do not vaccinate their children
https://www.apumone.com/christopher-luxon-net-worth/
In addition, it is reported: "In February 2021, it was revealed that while Luxon was CEO of Air New Zealand, its contracting business unit Gas Turbines was assisting Royal Saudi Navy vessels, despite them blocking essential supplies like water, food and medical assistance from Yemen. Luxon claimed to "have no recollection of it" and that "it might've post-dated my time" – the latter claim being disputed by his successor Greg Foran. It was met with criticism from Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern and the Green Party's human rights spokesperson Golriz Ghahraman.[20] Luxon later admitted it "was a mistake" that Air New Zealand did not have a process whereby its chief executive would be told about all military contracts.[21]"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Luxon
We need to be careful here in thinking this guy is the real deal. Time will tell.
Indeed. Sure, he's better on economic policy than Labour (even a newborn baby would be) but was exactly the same as Jacinda when it came to vax mandates etc. Totally onboard with all that. Never questioned any of it or sought to hear the 'feral' Wellington protesters side of the story. Until he proves otherwise I regard him as another WEF stooge.
I believe he is another stooge and the people in NZ will not be much better off than we were with Ardern. Not much will change for the better. He does not speak out against the lies of climate change with more and more draconian rules being put in place that will bankrupt the farmers who are the life blood of the NZ economy.
I took it to mean a fellow with his feet on the ground, not too proud to be involved in what people really value.
I like that side of him but he was far too vocal supporting the vax mandates and speaking against the Wellington protesters. Yet to be convinced he's not a total WEF head who will go all out authoritarian if it suits Klaus.
Thank you for the local take!
Well I got that his business experience meant he had spent time in the 'real world' but Jeff mentioning deodorant and ice cream - vs the more generic 'consumer products sales' I thought, wow that's an odd combination! But given the wokeness of too many corporations these days I am starting to thing business experience is not the feather in the cap of candidates it used to be.
Festivus is a classic Seinfeld episode and had me smiling immediately at the beginning of your blog!! The airing of grievances is needed at times so George and his Dad were on to something! Haha! Regarding my smile, I’ve felt sad all week over all the innocents that have died. We so desperately need light in this dark time and we get that light from Jesus and also our family, friends, community, comedy,sports, exercise, good food and your amazing blog Jeff. Thank you!
And woe is me---I never saw even one episode of that show. In fact, for a long time I didn't even know what was being referred to by mention of "seinfeld". Lower case intentional.
It’s never too late to start...it’s on every night! Haha!! They are short episodes and make your smile!!
Such a great sitcom!
I'm no longer a TV person but Seinfeld was a fav of mine. One of my favorite episodes was Eileen and Jerry at the airport car rental desk. His reservation had been overlooked and they didn't have a car for him. He then began a long rant about the definition of a "reservation". 🤣
Isn't that a racist word now?
Only if it has ‘Indian’ in front of it, car reservation is still ok!
Actually I’m just making that up, I wouldn’t be surprised at all if reservation was added to the racist list. Overpasses and Trees are racist now!!
I have no idea. I refuse to keep up with that nonsense.
I was traveling with 2 of my kids a few years ago.
We were stuck behind the car rental counter because the attendant wasn't sure I had a reservation, although I had the confirmation.
While she was in the back speaking with someone, I pulled up this clip to show my kids.
At least we could laugh!
Hahahaha I don’t think I’ve seen that one but I can just picture it!!!
Yes- Agee & it might be time to watch a few Seinfield episodes this week too!
Bring on the feats of strength!
The gender identity of a member of the public is a part of their individual identity, regardless of whether others agree or approve.” I'm old fashion and still struggle to understand this stuff. So, if I'm required to honor / use pronouns mine would be My Superior. so every time they address me they have to say , My Superior. Do I have this right? or how about? Jesus Saves'
@Gregg Keyes Exactly. Found out yesterday that my daughter is going to a wedding where the maid of honor is “non-binary,” so “it” has decided to be called the “Duke of honor.” If my eyes roll any harder I’ll be able to see my brain 🤦🏻♀️
Unbelievable. Sounds like that "it" is trying to hijack the attention in the wedding party, which should be on the bride and groom. Disgusting behavior.
Yes self-centered narcissism tries to force others to bend to their every whim.
FourWinds it’s all about attention, isn’t it? These people must have some serious childhood trauma (either imagined or real) to always be demanding attention like a toddler.
Exactly. I know a girl who started this crap in college. At home, she was her parents’ little princess. Their only daughter whom they loved.
She owned big brothers, but they were just her servants. The toll her parents paid to finally get their girl.
She went off to university where she was just another freshman cog in the machine. By October her freshman year, she was a “he” and taking testosterone shots.
It’s shameful that the adults in her life enabled and encouraged this. Now, she’s almost 28 years old and physically destroyed.
That trauma may refer to lack of discipline.....
Oooh I was at a wedding when a gay couple got engaged on the dance floor in the middle of the reception. I thought it was tacky and taking away from the bride and groom. Do that nonsense somewhere else.
"If my eyes roll any harder I’ll be able to see my brain 🤦🏻♀️"...love that analogy!
You’re daughter should go as the Duke of Earl🤪
How about the Duke of Hazard?
Here what confuses me: if you call yourself “Duke” isn’t that binary? Wouldn’t nonbinary be Maid/Duke?
I had the same thought. Maybe she could combine the two. The Make of honor. As in SHE makes up her own reality and asks everyone to play along.
That does seem to be the rule these days.
Duchess/Duke
You are right. It was early. : )
Blaaa hah ha ha! It needs to get a life.
It is perfect as it can mean just about anything! Great way to cancel!
“Dukey”.
Any moron who pulls that crap will be told my pronoun is "Your Royal Highness", and don't forget it.
I've mandated that going forward I may be addressed as either "Your Grace" or "My Liege".
I'm going with "F--k/Biden"
Elon's "Prosecute/Fauci" was pretty good too.
This is sponsored by “FJB Coffee”. “Good til the last gaffe”.🤪
I am opting for Empress-or
I've heard the "I'm too old for this stuff" response. I say "I'm too logical for it."
From now on, I want to be addressed as "Your Majesty"
I’m a nurse and we literally had a Haitian patient who’s legal first name was” His Majesty.” Imagine the looks when we addressed him in the waiting area.😂
🤣
Good ones. 👍

Yesterday I opened a mailing from Mutual of Omaha, offering me a "Don't Wait! ...next month you can breathe a little easier!" supplemental cancer coverage policy. Pointing out that 'over 1.9 million new cancer cases are expected to be diagnosed in 2023 alone (American Cancer [continuation/encouragement] Society, Cancer Facts & Figures, 2023". Could it be the shots?
This is an attempt by the health insurance company to get cancer coverage out from under your comprehensive and catastrophic health insurance policy which would normally cover any claims like this. The companies know that a HUGE wave of cancer claims are coming and in fact are already seeing it. They have to find a way to sell a lot more policies or dramatically raise existing premiums to cover the claims they know are coming from vax induced cancer. Same for life insurance companies.
Obvi.
Next we’ll see these insurance agents out front of stores alongside the vax guy, “get your vax today! …and insurance for tomorrow!” ☠️💉
And daily eraser sized ivermectin gel.
Mine is apple flavored
What is this gel Jaci?
There are two groups on FascistBook that I am aware of and the increase of young people since 2021 with advanced cancer at first diagnosis is noticeable. A young woman recently died after giving birth just two weeks prior. Dr. Makis from Canada was on The Highwire not long ago discussing the Turbo cancers. He is on Substack.
This is happening in ALL age groups. The slaughter continues.
Very much too bad that he blocks people from reading /commenting if they have not paid to subscribe. I wonder how many of us are paying for a number of subscriptions, but reading many more?
Interesting that there are no new posts since the end of August.
2nd Smartest Guy on substack has been posting a lot of studies about Ivermectin, Febendazole and Doxycycline and their anti-cancer properties, many can be used in tandem with traditional treatments.
Anyone with prostate cancer, please look up Doorless Carp on Substack and PectaSol. It’s modified citrus pectin, no downside and it has tremendous ability to lower PSA numbers- Doorless breaks down the numbers and Big Pharma won’t touch it because they can’t make money from it!
Hmm---should I look into my jam-making?
I don't trust Soros and I especially don't trust his son. The fact that he's closing offices doesn't mean anything. He's up to something and it can't be good. Nothing he does is good.
I concur … it reads more like a head fake to me.
They are buying up Poland's media. https://youtu.be/6FC0xuj3NIA?si=x-U2BdeM6TEWpQaQ
Did you see Tucker’s interview with a Polish leader? The guy is awesome. Makes one want to immigrate to Poland!
I wonder if that has anything to do with Tucker’s recent interview with Poland’s head of state. It sure was excellent.
Very sad. Another child dies of heart attack:
"An eight-year-old boy from Israel has tragically died of a heart attack, three years after appearing in a government-sponsored video that promoted the COVID vaccine for children. Yonatan Moshe Erlichman suffering cardiac arrest while taking a bath. The child was taken to Hadassah Hospital in Mount Scopus in serious condition but died a few days later on September 28."
How many more children will dies because their parents gave them the shot. I'm in MI and I hear radio/TV ads put out by our governor Witchmer telling parents to "vaccinate" their children 6 months and older. This is genocide!
That’s the second bath tub cardiac arrest I’ve heard of in a child. So tragic!
