America will lament the loss of Gabbard...she was a warrior with a pure heart!

Beckadee's avatar

I'm glad we have her for another 5 weeks! A lot can happen in Trump World 2.0!

william howard's avatar

at some point I hope Jeff lists her accomplishments as they are plentiful

Beckadee's avatar

We need to do that work ourselves IMO. Jeff has covered a lot of her stuff.

Ruth's avatar

Hurts for our loss as well as the threat to husband's health. I second Childers' hope that he has access to out-of-the-box thinking health care.

pretty-red, old guy's avatar

YES, like FenBen and other possibilities.

Sue Rosenthal's avatar

The C&C Army should send notes of encouragement and thanks, to share with her how grateful we are and any other heartfelt thoughts.

CaplT's avatar

On X:

@TulsiGabbard (personal) and @DNIGabbard

Karmy's avatar

If you have the contact info for doing so please share it as I think that’s a great idea.

Sue Rosenthal's avatar

I don't, but maybe another reader does. I will see what I can come up with later today.

Tulsi was a breath of fresh air. A clear thinker who always called it she saw it and was not afraid of the untruths bricks thrown her way. When a friend of mine early in 2020 asked me if there was any Democratic presidential candidate that I would vote for, I immediately answered Tulsi. How impossible it was for her to gain support and how she was sabotaged by the party leaders for being out of touch with their radical agenda literally forced her to,leave the party. Think how different those four Biden years would have been if it would have been a President Gabbard in charge.

Karmy's avatar

Good morning C&C!

Trust that God is in control, and He is directing your steps. Make decisions and move forward, not in fear, but with confidence in God and His guidance.

Pray for Tulsi’s husband Abraham and for her service in the intelligence community. I look forward to what God has planned next for us.

I am looking forward to phase two of the fraud indictments, the part where all the defendants testify that government officials, including Tm Walz, were in on the action through laundered kickbacks. There simply is no other explanation for how this fraud was allowed to occur at such a scale for such a long period of time. Politicians had nothing to gain by allowing this scam unless they were in on the action. Period.

Jpeach's avatar

Hopefully some lower level fraudsters will turn on upper level fraudsters, right up to Omar and Walz.

Debbie Wagner's avatar

Exactly what I am waiting for. It can’t come soon enough.

Then do Maine, NY, California, Pennsylvania…..

Build another prison if you have to.

Debbie Wagner's avatar

Agree! I don’t care if we have to hire 100,000 investigators and lawyers. This fraud and money laundering must be exposed at every level. I want all these people in jail!

St. Alia the Knife's avatar

and Washington (the State of)!!

Ray Bob's avatar

Personally ,I think we built enough prisons. and in this case. I would prefer to see Gallows constructed in public spaces of every state, and every one of these filthy, dirty, lying ,cheating ,stealing, pieces of garbage ,swinging at the end of a hangman's noose. Then we can start over

Debbie Wagner's avatar

Yes! An even better idea!

SD Scott's avatar

Or self-deport.

pretty-red, old guy's avatar

man, you and I think a LOT alike.

Bam.

I will second that one!

MOMinator's avatar

Illinois too!!

Beckadee's avatar

I saw where Ohio may be in the hot seat soon.

Debbie Wagner's avatar

I feel sure every state has this type of corruption. Go after them ALL!

Laura Kasner's avatar

I hope so Beckadee as I live in Ohio.

I’m less optimistic about that. I wonder what could overpower the fact that they have several hundred millions tucked away somewhere in offshore accounts. All of them. Would any crooked man or woman sing knowing they risk that?

Teresa Parmenter's avatar

But if they receive 41 year sentences that money is worthless to them. I pray that’s the case!

Daniel Hall's avatar

What does happen to that money. Can the govt claw it back or do the criminals relatives get the ill gotten gain?

Debbie Wagner's avatar

It’s either take the hit and go to jail or give up the information (emails,bank records, etc.) and secure a plea deal that allows them to go free. Most will gladly provide the evidence.

Juju's avatar

Unless they are told by their handlers to keep their traps shut until they have control over the judicial processes again, at which time they will be released.

Deb's avatar

It is utterly mind boggling how all of this was allowed to happen! The numbers/statistics speak for themselves! The increases in funding levels are unimaginable. There are way too many politicians that either do not care or turned a blind eye for this to happen. And this travesty has happened on the watch of the majority of people in congress! They truly need to be fired! They have no care or concern whatsoever for the everyday American taxpayer!

Debbie Wagner's avatar

The politicians did not ā€œturn a blind eyeā€. They were IN ON THE SCAM!

They had no incentive to allow such massive fraud unless they also profited. I want to know who ALL the conspirators were and I want them ALL held accountable. And I want assets seized and all the money returned to the taxpayers.

PonyBoy's avatar

I want Debbie Wagner in charge of finding prison space for all the politicians involved.

Debbie Wagner's avatar

Hahaha! I would like nothing better! Let’s just say it wouldn’t be a glorified country club. It might include busting a few rocks every day. Or maybe a relocation to Siberia.

Juju's avatar

How much was funneled back to them in small donations via ActBlue?

Debbie Wagner's avatar

Even those donations were phony laundered money. The corruption is so massive. We can’t even imagine.

Dan (100% All in MAGA)'s avatar

Bingo! From that dipshit walz right on down, and including non-American cretin Omar. Lets pray the DOJ goes after them voraciously, investigates, prosecutes, and imprisons them. Lets not forget Omars sudden increase of 30 million dollars which just as suddenly decreased upon being found out.

PonyBoy's avatar

It's attributable to Democrat dementia.

They've all forgotten that they are human.

Lori's avatar

Were they ever?

Rob's avatar

This is a "follow the money" moment, kickbacks would not surprise me as there was plenty of stolen money to go around.

Karmy's avatar

I recently read that that’s why Walz was picked as VP for Kamala. Because of this fraud program that benefited the Democrats.

Debbie Wagner's avatar

Yes. He came with nearly unlimited funding from taxpayer supplied cash.

william howard's avatar

more than the indictments is a new game plan to make sure no more

Linda's avatar

I agree. But it’s also true that if those who are now engaging in fraud are sent to prison and/or deported as the case may be, it would have to be a deterrent to others who might try to get away with it. There must have been a kind of assurance that they would get away with it - Probably from higher-ups who cooperated. But if they are all put away…. Surely some would be the wiser and not attempt it.

Mary Suddath's avatar

Paul and Hillary do look alike in a truly jarring way.

Only Jeff would notice that and now I will never be able to unsee it.🤣

Guy White's avatar

Aagh! My eyes! My eyes!

Sir Paul would NOT look good in a pantsuit. Just saying. But Hillary would look great in an orange one.

Anthony S Burkett's avatar

For certain people, orange would be the new black! ;)

I hadn't seen any recent pictures of McCartney. I knew he was getting up there, but WHEW he looks rough! I'm just sayin' if I had his $ I'd 'get some work done' if I was planning any TV appearances. (I'm really not in a position to throw stones; I'm 71 and look like 10 miles of bad road.)

I Do Try To Be Positive, Though Sometimes It’s A Struggle.

When things are going right, the family is happy, work is going well, we’re getting good breaks, we know God is in control, He is on the throne, He’s directing our steps. But having faith doesn’t exempt us from difficulties. The storms of life come to every person. Someone walks out of our life, we lose someone to an illness, business slows. In the difficult times it’s easy to ask, God where are you? How could you let this happen to me? We have to keep our faith.

The same God that is in control in the good times is just as in control in the tough times. God will not allow a storm unless He has a Devine purpose for it. We see these storms as negative, but sometimes God will direct the winds of the storm to blow you to where He wants you to go. God knows how to shift the winds so instead of blowing you backwards it blows you forward, where you not only come out better and stronger, but that storm will move you to a place of greater blessing, greater influence.

A lot of people say they have faith but in the tough times they fall apart. Their not going to be happy until the storm is over. We should use our faith to believe that when the winds stop blowing we will be exactly where God wants us to be.

The apostle Paul had been arrested and appealed his case to the emperor. As he was getting on the boat to go to see Caesar he told the captain and crew it’s not a good time to sail, there’s a storm. They put Paul onboard and headed out to sea. Not long after that they ran into the storm. For 14 days they forged through the raging seas, there was no sunlight it was completely dark. The crew began throwing equipment overboard to try to stay afloat. Eventually the wind became so strong and the waves so big they could not control the ship any longer. The crew took down the sails and let the wind blow the ship wherever the storm wanted it to go.

There comes a point when you’ve done everything that you can, you prayed, you believed, you stood in faith, now you have to relinquish control. Let the storm take you where God wants you to go. Say God I trust You, where You take me is where I’m supposed to be. At one point the crew went up to Paul and admitted they should have listened to him and not sailed.

The ship ended up hitting a sandbar and broke apart. They all swam to the small island of Malta. On that small island the chiefs father was extremely sick, Paul prayed for him and he was healed. One by one they brought other ill people to Paul, he prayed and they were healed. Paul ended up sharing his faith and the whole island came to know the lord. God used the winds of that storm to push Paul to people in need. The storm may have been meant for your harm but God knows how to direct the winds to take you to a place where you can be a blessing to someone else in need.

On the way out of the storm don’t be surprised if you have interruptions, inconveniences, not what you had planned. As you reach out to others in need, as you help the fallen, as you encourage those that are down, as you become a friend to the lonely that’s when your breakthrough will come. Pray one for another so you will be healed. One of the tests we all have to pass is being good to someone else in the midst of our storm. Happy Saturday! Hope you all have a blessed Memorial Day Weekend. J.Goodrich

Deb's avatar

AMEN! Thank you for your post!

mspring's avatar

Excellent post! In addition, I find it fascinating how insulated most of us are when we ask for God's help, then get frustrated when it isn't provided immediately. I suppose it is sort of a "butterfly effect" thought, but i think about the fact that millions of us are asking for help of various types all over the world at every moment. Many conflict with others' requests and all will have "unintended consewuences". Yet somehow our Creator deals with each one. (Yes, No, or Not Yet). And He does this inside space and time. Think of how many things have to fall in place, get adjusted, start/stop all over for just my requests to be dealt with. He is bigger than we can comprehend, and can do anything he chooses but chooses to follow the rules he created in his relations with us.

Thank you! So true! I have been in a stressful situation and have many decisions to make and much advice. I am waiting for Gods perfect timing (against some professional advice) and I know it will have the best outcome. But that said, it is hard. Your words were very encouraging to me. šŸ’Ÿ

Thank you for sharing this. Your comments always speak volumes.

Larry Schweikart's avatar

When the MN anti-fraud offensive began a year ago, I noticed that almost every federal cabinet-level agency was involved: DoEd going after the school fraud; HHS going after the health care fraud; the IRS for obvious reasons; Small Business Administration for business fraud; Dept of Transportation for the high speed rail to nowhere; obviously DoJ. About the only part of the government NOT investigating MN was the Department of War. Perhaps they have other plans for MN. At any rate, I said at the time, MN was a dry run for the big enchilada, Kollyfornia. I believe that. I think the feds are taking notes on how best to carry out these investigations and indictments and that Gruesome and his ilk are next in line.

Donna in MO's avatar

Actually the Feeding our Future case investigation started in the Biden era, FBI opened the case in 2021, conviction was in March 2025. Maddening how long it takes for the wheels of justice to turn.

Larry Schweikart's avatar

That's the point

All sorts of investigations "started" in the Rutabaga administration with the purpose of covering up and protrcting, in this case Tampon Timmy.

Rightly So's avatar

Precisely! Once the Biden Regime realized that the criminals who built this fraud machine were Democrats (or supporters of) they quickly worked to shut it (the investigations) down; quietly ignoring the same while holding their hands out for "their cut."

Ryan Gardner's avatar

Im asking everyone for prayers to free me from my dark thoughts everyday of wishing something bad to befall Pencil Neck Schiff.

Roger Beal's avatar

Will you accept imprecatory prayers to AMPLIFY your "dark thoughts"?

Ryan Gardner's avatar

LOLOLOL. I can always count on you Roger to give me a good belly laugh

Lori's avatar

I will accept them Roger. Mine are aimed at Fauci.

Mary Ann Caton's avatar

You have mine, Ryan. I am sorry. I get it though.

I have to backtrack my thoughts regarding some of these folks throughout the day.

I'm only praying that your dark thoughts....come true.

Juju's avatar

His recent post about Tulsi left me fuming. He’s not a pencil neck, he’s a turd on a stick

Anthony S Burkett's avatar

Sorry, Ryan... I can't help you there!... I can only say that you really would feel better about yourself if you knew my thoughts... :)

Lori's avatar

You are not alone, You know how I feel about fauci. I am not sure I will pray for that Ryan and the reason is, I don't want any of us to forget or become passive about the wrongs done to citizens and those that caused physical and mental harm, inciting violence and causing death. Time tends to have us become complacent as we go on with our lives. The sins are too deep and too wide and I want to remember and I want those dark thoughts to be aimed at those that deserve them. You are a very good man for wanting help and asking for it. I do apologize for failing you this time.

Anthony S Burkett's avatar

"I do apologize for failing you this time."... Such is the cross we carry!

Marilyn's avatar

Dear Ryan, heap coals upon his head….pray mightily from them who caused these awful things. Jesus died for them as well. (I know, that took a long time for me to accept that. ) But, don’t let those dark thoughts poison you. I’ve had to wrestle with the very thing you are dealing with. Thank God I’m not God. God is the almighty.

(I often pray-God, please bless them with whatever they need to get to heaven.) Then here is the hard part, let go of it. Unless of course it is your station in life to prosecute. Mine isn’t. My station is to pray for our enemies.

Beckadee's avatar

I haven't heard much about Schiff lately. He still around?

🌱NardšŸ™'s avatar

Lori's avatar

I wonder if the repurposed drugs may help Abraham. Tulsi should try to get in touch with Dr. Kory, Marik or A Midwestern Doctor as well just to see what else could be able to help him. Prayers for the family.

Anthony S Burkett's avatar

DMSO, ClO2 and H2O2 would be good places to start... Leave no stone unturned!

Lori's avatar

ivermec and fenben as well.

Juju's avatar

Everything should be tried, and for an appropriate amount of time without giving up prematurely, like after just one month.

Lori's avatar

Absolutely Juju. That and an abundance of prayer for God can cure Abraham; we all know this.

Whenever I read about a rare form of cancer in a younger person, I have the same recurring thought.

Jeffrey N. Gratton's avatar

Call me sexist if you like.

Tulsi, Pam, and Kristi ALL shined thru in ways that men can't.

Inspirational characters to be sure.

But I suspect their forays into the rough and tumble world - because they are women - exacts a degree of physical/emotional toll that GENERALLY men are more 'girded' for.

Thatbsaid, there are exceptions to every rule.

Curtis's avatar

As I recall, Trump once said something like; "A man can generally do a better job than a woman, (SEXIST!), but the right woman can do the job better than ten men..." (crickets...)

Karen Bandy's avatar

It’s true, men and women are different, thank goodness.

mspring's avatar

A great observation! I suspect Pres Trump selected women for their positions in part because he knew how media/left/regular people would react to a female in the position and the issues vs a man. I also suspect that when He tapped them, he informed them of the strategy, and perhaps about how long they would have. The man worked with both sexes in business, real estate, construction, media/entertainment, observed how folk react, and used that knowledge.

Lori's avatar

Yes, men have girded loins!

Lori's avatar

Another question on why such bad things happen to good people. Why could this not have happened to Fauci, Gates, Baric and the list goes on. Infuriating.

Terminate and prosecute all, ALL the fraud committed by recipients of our government's largesse, and I betcha America's deficit will shrink to a total of about $250.

And yes, "Sir" Paul McCartney does look a lot like The Hillaroid. Scary ... and sad.

Sherry 1's avatar

There also should be DOGE people assigned to design rock hard guardrails AGAINST fraud to ensure people can’t ā€˜game’ the social programs. One place to start is to remove NGO’s completely from the money handling arena.

Richard Whitney's avatar

I agree that all programs committing fraud should be shut down.

The biggest one, though, was the TARP program, which handed out hundreds of billions to banksters and Wall Street grifters.

If you look at a graph of our public debt, it skyrockets after 2008, when their fraud collapsed Wall Street and the government stepped in to bail them out, and put the bill on the public debt.

Mrs. RW

Richard Whitney's avatar

I looked it up. The TARP Act expired, but now they have a different grift going on.

From AI:

''To keep the financial system stable, the U.S. government relies on a permanent, highly active infrastructure run by the Federal Reserve and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). Rather than passing one-off legislative bailouts like TARP, the government utilizes automated backstops, regulatory adjustments, and massive daily financial plumbing to protect Wall Street and the banking sector.''

Thank you for clarifying the Kennedy’s PREP Act announcement! I wasn’t worried in the least because good grief, LET THE MAN WORK, but it is so annoying to see purported MAGA and MAHA followers be so fickle.

Kennedy has proved his bona fides for DECADES. He doesn’t strike me as a man who loses his courage or values less than 18 months in office.

It’s not that I think Kennedy (or Trump, or any one in his admin for that matter!) is perfect, but they are the best we have EVER had fighting for us at the highest level and agree with every single point or not, I think we should get out of our own way and let them do the hard dirty work to save America!šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡ø

Matt L.'s avatar

The overreaction to Kennedy is an indication of cult behavior. And I’m not trying to disparage the MAHA movement in any way by saying so (I support MAHA!). But, there are MAHA people w/ X accounts that embrace too black/white thinking and comportment. And this makes the movement look at times, unhinged to the normies we walk amongst. Jeff having to fall all over himself in explaining this (and asking not to be cancelled) indicates some of these same cultish-MAHA people are part of the C&C Army.
