Thune blames 'paid influencers' for SAVE Act woes; Hirono says married women can't vote. United Airlines faces the biggest religious freedom class action ever; Iran's new Ayatollah is MIA. More.
It's hard to understand anyone who would vote against the SAVE act.
Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, et. al, all warned that democracies lead to tyranny due to the uneducated electorate and Plato elaborated by using the metaphor of sailing a ship (do you want an incompetent captain and crew who have never sailed a ship to steer the ship?)
Plato also used the metaphor of the oligarch giving birth to the democrat who gave birth to the tyrant. So, the constitutional republic that was supposed to restrain democracy gave birth to a corporatocracy giving us too many industrial complexes.
Well, America isn't the America of my youth, ie, the America we all wish it still is. When nearly one-third of the US population are now aliens, ie, non-citizens, the SAVE Act is pretty close to a life or death issue for the Demonrat Party which is well on it's way to extinction.
Addendum: I feel compelled to add that the "writing is on the wall" for all to see who have eyes. Out of a total population of 330 million, aliens now account for about 105 million, half of which are illegal and the other half on visas. In 1970, white Christian Americans accounted for 90% of the population. Today, that number is less than 60% and falling. The reproduction rate of white Americans is below the replacement rate. The reproduction rate of the alien immigrants is prolly around 5 or 6 babies per wife and frequently, a man has multiple wives.
Just do the math. White America is headed for extinction or close to it. This is what I mean by "the writing is on the wall". (For non-Christians, that is a Biblical reference.)
I live in a state that has had ONLY mail ballots for decades. In that time period, Oregon has gone from a quirky but normal state to full batshit crazy.
More than one election has been settled with an amazing discovery of ballots in the middle of the night that magically had just enough Democrat votes to turn the election to the Democrats.
Mail in ballots result in compromised elections. Change my mind.
I used to live in Oregon. Oregon went to the mail-in ballots in 1987. The last Republican Governor for Oregon was from 1979-1987 (Vic Atyiyeh). Not a coincidence. I agree that mail-in ballots result in compromised elections.
You really don't even have to be critical to see how it's messed up Oregon. Just look at the box checking politicians, Kate Brown was the first openly LGBT Gov in Oregon. By the end of her term, Brown had the lowest approval ratings of any incumbent U.S. governor at that time. Do we really believe residents of OR then voted in Tina Kotek? "May I have some more sir, please?" Umm...no.
Mayoral election for Chicago, I think it was, was exactly the same: a left wing utterly useless mayor was replaced (rigged election imo) by another useless Democrat mayor, the only difference was that it was a guy!
California has been doing the same thing since Covid. That being said, CA has had rigged elections for a long time. I don’t remember when they stopped requiring ID, but it’s been decades, and then they gave illegals driver’s licenses. When you sign up for a DL, you have the option of registering to vote… on a screen…with zero proof of citizenship.
Exactly. Mass illegal immigration and Massive/wholesale mail in ballot fraud is stealing our country. The corrupt crime-ocrats (and by that I mean 99% of dems and all rinos) know their only chance to win is to load the election full of fake ballots (rinos do it during the primaries to get to the general, then some of them win and some of them lose to make it appear our elections are legit.) When illegals came across the border the first mission was to register them to vote in their final state for the federal elections with the ballot going to a drop house to be voted by a dem operative. And since there is no chain of custody and no requirement to show an ID to get a ballot, it becomes simple to steal an election.
How true, Sharon. We live in the NW corner of WA state. Moved here in 1988 and it was solid red, now, in the last decade, we have lost all our Republican leadership at the state and federal level, and we see no chance to ever turn things around. The leadership out of Olympia is getting crazier and crazier with their higher taxation and attacks on the family and parental rights. We are like a "voice crying in the wilderness...prepare ye the way of the Lord". He is the only one that can change hearts and minds.
We moved here in 1983, when things were fine in Washington. When they changed to all mail in ballots, we were too busy taking care of our little kids to pay much attention. Little did we know what a disaster that would turn out to be.
The same thing happens in Washington State. I cleary remember the 2004 Governor election. Dino Rossi (R) won the election over Christine Gregoire (D). Gregoire demanded a recount, Rossi won the second count. Gregoire demanded another count and lo and behold a box of ballots was found behind the break room refrigerator and they were all Gregoire votes and she wins the Governor race. Horse lucky!!! They clearly cheated Rossi.
My state is Bat$hit crazy as well. Sideshow Bob is actively doing everything he can to install an income tax against the wishes of the population and the State Constitution. I love my beautiful State, but the politicians that have held the Capitol for 4 decades have run it into the ground.
Ask Chris Dudley about losing an Oregon Governor race in the dark of night (2010). He's running again this year, primary in May. I'm getting the impression he now knows the election system is rigged. It would be nice if all primary candidates would address the issue.
For fellow Oregon time travelers, the tricks being played with the 4.3B transportation referendum is proof positive the left WILL manipulate whatever they need to to remain in office and keep their super majority.
Tapestrygarden, fellow disenchanted Oregonian here. I'm in complete agreement with you. "Mail in ballots result in compromised elections." No changing your or my minds. It is easy to see if one just looks for the truth. It's very apparent. I have done a lot of deep looking and there is no question about it! Oregon's election process is corrupt. Just look at Tom Fitton's work at Judicial Watch. He has brought legal suit two times in the last 2 years and exposed the corruption. It's very easy to see if you know where to look. And our state leadership just thumbs their nose at Justice and Truth. Infuriating beyond measure!
How can there be 800,000 inactive voters carried on voter rolls for years? That my friends, is votes in the leftist bank for the rainy day election where it looks like a conservative candidate will win.
Impossible to trust the outcome of any mail in election.
Thune, "C'mon man, no joke". Bring SAVE America to the floor!
The judge appointment scam has deprived Oregon citizens of honest judges for years. On top of that, judges are willfully ignorant of the election system, sustaining any objection made by the Secretary of State, reasonable or not.
My jaw just hit the floor. I didn't know ANY state was using ONLY mail in ballots for their elections. That is bat shit crazy alright and just ripe for fraud. Will that change with the SAVE act or only for Federal elections?
I grew up in eastern Oregon, left for college in 1974 and returned to Eastern Oregon in 2022. When I lived in Portland after college, it was actually quite a lovely city with a vibrant downtown and mayors that we’re not completely crazy. The city was run by business men who were probably socially liberal, but certainly fiscally conservative. The viral crazies chased away all the timber companies and many of the other businesses. The tech Bros how old are moved up from California in Oregon was ruined.
Portland is in a doom loop and will never recover. Eastern Oregon is a little better but we’re still stuck with the statewide elections it give us loons that like Tina Kotek.
I remember reading an article in Newsweek of one of those MSM 'rags' back around 2010 touting the vibrancy of Portland, OR and how the entire city could be safely navigated via BICYCLE (cars were welcome on a limited basis in some areas.) The article also mentioned how the city council and mayor over the previous decade had rejuvenated and redesigned Portland and had almost ERASED the homeless and vagrant issues. Either this article was a vapid LIE or a lot has changed in only 16 years.
Sadly the America of our youth was setting the stage we are dealing with today. The so called greatest generation, which includes my parents whom I love, were not as great as we like to think. For the most part their offspring are responsible for the events of the day.
It's disappointing because what we thought we had back in the day was really the calm before the storm; and it didn't have to be like this, but nobody stopped it when it could have been stopped.
The Greatest Generation label is an overworked label out of nowhere. Perhaps it was used to glorify WWII as validation of the political New World Order drive which was then being sought after?
The moms of that generation called 'the greatest' were real ladies and the men for the most part were manly and came with a code of ethics now sorely lacking. Men were men and women were still women, and all in a recognizable way. In this sense, these folks were 'great' compared to huge numbers of today's 'anything goes' population who seem to be lost fractured identity souls . However, the moms and dads of the so-called 'greatest' generation had no way of knowing what future was being engineered for them from on high by the wicked Dear Leader class, people like front man David Rockefeller. Walter Conkite surely was not going to let any dirty secrets out of the bag on the CBS Evening News. America was daily being betrayed for the whole of our dad's and mom's lives and they had no way of knowing the extent of it because 'news' was already all bottled up by the corporate press of the day.
But in present time, the younger generations, many of them want to be real men and woman again, and they long for sanity to return back to life. Such are my daily rays of sunshine.
In the 60's, God started to be removed from our culture. Prayer was removed from school. People were encouraged to be free to experiment so morality went out the door with the sexual revolution. The following decades were just a spiral into degeneracy. Now we are at a point where satanism is being boldly showcased in our culture. In state governments, schools, music, movies, etc. Conversely, many young people (Gen Z) are returning to the Church. There is a hunger for tradition, morality and God. Aslan is on the move and I pray that the younger generation will bring a resurgence of greatness to America. We need to turn to God, repent of our sins, otherwise it will be as God planned to do to the people of Ninevah. Praise be to God for He is good all the time. His mercy endures forever.
I’m inclined to go back to finish reading Tom Brokaw’s book, he wrote two, on the greatest generation. Met him in Big Sky, Mt, way back when. He may have invented that phrase. You know, they really were the best of Western civilization compared to what came after. Too many new things made ppl lazy after the fifties.
I think it’s the Rothschilds that we have to blame for the political climate and crises in society since then.
Then along came Gates, Epstein, etc., all wanting a share of the profits as shown in the recently released Epstein files. It’s mind blowing how much is revealed as shown in the X posts by @FatEmperor or Ivor Cummins
I am inclined to agree with you in an overall casting of your thoughts. Writing was of a fairly high standard well into the 1950's, especially with the then older writers. The upcoming new writers were mostly of no account. For example, we haven't had someone of T. S. Eliot's stature since mid the last century. Books like the Anglo-American Establishment were suppressed by, and in the case of Carroll Quigley by his own publisher who bought the publishing rights to the book from Quigley and then refused to publish the book. Present day cult classics like The Dispossessed Majority could not find a major publisher and certain books simply were not allowed to be distributed. I could go on and on because I knew some of these people personally. Eustace Mullins, for example, lived in my wife's home town of Staunton, Virginia ... and I ran into him a few times under different circumstances. Mullins had to self-publish through tiny publishing companies which had limited distribution. Simply stated, the control society is nothing new.
In fact, bad literature and art was promoted. Interesting stuff of a higher quality was suppressed. I saw all of this happen first hand in Manhattan first hand. The most stupid of stuff, like 'installations' were promoted. Piss Christ by Serrano was touted as revolutionary leading edge. A white background canvass painting with a thin stripe down the length was supposed to be some kind of super-genius statement. And I believe all the cultural dumbing down of standards was totally intentional.
I guess I am a stick stuck in the mud, and I don't cotton to hyperbola, exaggerated statements and bombast, and so I simply say that my father's and mom's generation were pretty solid. And life in the neighborhoods was pretty good, and that's even in that larger cities. And the neighborhoods were run by the moms. And if the moms didn't like something going on, the dads heard about it once they were home from work. And an orderly life was maintained without The Guberment stepping in.
I disagree, they were great, they worked hard, made babies (didn't murder them) and families and built the nation post WW2. If they failed anywhere, it was in trusting their elected officials, most of whom were and are deeply corrupt criminals with hidden agendas.
On a different subject and re: "Mojtaba Khamenei". He hasn't been seen, or heard from in several days. I believe he is iran's version of an autopen leader (like braindead retard biden) and the underlings and IRGC will be the ones actually running the show. So, if Israel and/or the US hits him (there are rumors he was wounded in the strike that killed daddy terrorist and wifey terrorist) it wont really mean anything to how the country is being run.
I agree, and the IRGC are ruthless theologically driven murderers. The Iranians are going to have to dig deep, find some courage and take them on. I think it is the Kurds who are beginning to engage from the North. That is a start but there are about 80 million iranians seemingly standing on the sidelines right now.
Correct, Sir! Because they all want the money and power derived from BP or whatever that company is called these days. Follow the money and it's history guys. Same ole song.....
I agree with most all of what you say, but have a very hard time assigning a "generation" as being more inclined to failure than another.
I would like to add that during the entire duration of our republic Bureaucracy has recursively built upon itself. The resulting level of complication(Gov. Employees, laws, regs, populism, and special interests) catalyzed crises as various stages of critical mass were reached. Just as the stock market spikes high and eventually dumps, the mess you see now is likely the culmination of critical mass causing catastrophic situations.
Boomers fought back. We marched, we protested, we circulated petitions, we demonstrated, we fought back.
The subsequent generations did NOTHING.
Did you stop the flouride, the autism-causing childrens vaxxines, the Chemtrailing, the 5(G), the deliberate dumbing-down of American children, the glyphosates?
No, you played video games. And did NOTHING.
The subsequent generations are THE reason the New World 0rder is unfolding exactly as planned and on schedule.
Yes, I've noticed Boomers being blamed for various diverse things recently. I guess we're an easy target for the young ones to lash out at. That's okay. Our shoulders are broad. We can bear it.
Saying "generation" is a generalization for a focal point.
It's easier to trust your government, until it's too late. As far as I know there has never been a government that should have been trusted. They are always corrupt; always. That was true throughout the 20th century too.
True. In the 50s and 60s America was still coasting on the inherited cultural capital of prior generations while the contemporary generation was basking in the "glory" of having been the "heroes" of the greatest forever-war in American history, the great war of WWI/II.
Yes, agree. Speaking for my long gone parents who might be considered to be decent working class people who worked hard to get to middle class. They had a firm idea that the march of history was inevitable and the way it had always been was the way it would always be. They assumed a continual march of constant incremental improvements that all sane people would support, just as they all saw all sane people pull together on the war efforts. They further always presumed any enemies would come from outside, never dreaming any could come from within, still less that anything they were doing would cause problems later on.
But the most important thing, to critically examine their leaders, went against the 'we're all in this together now' approach. And i think that thought didn't occur to them and perhaps others until after at least another decade of coasting from prior generations work as well as post-war euphoria.
Thankfully they had their final declines on the late nineties, just when things were starting to take a noticeable turn for the worse and by the first few years of the early '00's, they were gone without understanding how bad things were starting to get.
That assumption of things always improving, people always pulling together sensibly, and the most optimistic view possible of politicians has proved disastrous.
Yet, if they were here today, I doubt they would understand what happened. In their case, they just wanted to be left alone to live their lives and let smarter, fully trusted people handle the big stuff. They were not alone in those beliefs. A lesson that taking things for granted and insulating oneself from realities is a terrific way to have a nation slip through your fingers.
It will be a very long time until there is another generation in that position again.
So agree, but in fairness I look at the truths we have uncovered in the last six years and I can understand how so many missed what was happening. I remember thinking after the 2020 (s)election, as I was going down rabbit hole after rabbit hole, that I wished it was JUST about a stolen election. I’m thankful my parents never lived to see what was uncovered.
And the voter rolls are filled with ghost voters. There was a reason why so many nonprofits with the mission to register voters popped up the past fee decades. Black Fork Strategies was caught fraudulently registering voters in Ohio and Michigan.
You are always the "echo of my mind", Phil - danke for this post today. As for the 'death of the white people' - I keep thinking that SKIN COLOR should NEVER define the ethics or ethos of ANY population. After all, our Almighty Creator God - Yeshua - was an olive skinned human in His earthly ministry!! I have always formed opinions about anyone NOT based on their ethnicity or skin color - but on how they treat others and how they handle adversity in life (because, let's face it--LIFE IS HARD for most of us!).
It's not about color of skin. It's the culture I grew up in which was a high trust society. I want to live in a high trust society with a culture that promotes that.
You are quite correct about skin color. The American distinction is not about race. It's about culture and the moral underpinnings of that culture, ie, Christian morality. It's only coincidental that the "skin color" of the majority of America was white. This is illustrated by the fact that Black Americans which comprised about 10% of the population were of the same Christian culture. So "race" had nothing to do with it. This in spite of the fact that both the Marxist dialectic and the Zionist attacks upon Christian America have been based solely on race: the Marxist claiming that "white" people must be eliminated and the Zionist that counters every critique with claims of "Antisemitism" and "racism". Both of those ideologies are self-consciously racist and antithetical to Biblical morality... and explicitly so.
The immigrants of the 19th century came to America to become Americans. Most were white Europeans and Christian in faith. IE, they came to assimilate into the American culture because they admired what America stood for. The immigrants of the last 40 years since President Reagan began the VISA program of immigration, have come from alien cultures that are not based on Christian morality. This became especially acute with the open border invasion of aliens under the Marxist Biden regime. These people have NOT come to assimilate into American culture. Rather, they have come to conquer American culture and replace it with their own alien culture and in the process, replace us. A microcosm of this is the process of turning Minnesota into a new Somalia. This process can be seen most acutely in Ireland and Britain. They are being conquered.
We have to understand, this is a war. We have been invaded by a hostile, conquering culture. Sadly, I do not believe that 105 million aliens will be deported by the POTUS, not even the 50 million illegal aliens. Christian American culture, white and black, are most likely going to soon become a small minority in a culture that has become hostile to Christianity. I would guess within 10 years. Any effort to reverse that trend will be accompanied by civil violence. But I do not think that is going to happen. But what do I know - right? The reason for this is that the entire ruling class of America has become COMPLETELY corrupt as has been illustrated by the Epstein horrors.
Whatever happens, times are going to become very risky and planning with your extended family how to survive in such a war will become of upmost importance.
So much more to say but I must stop there.
One footnote: Judaism is a religion. Zionism is a political construct. Zionism is not a religion and it is NOT the same thing as Judaism. In fact, many Jews have been at war with Zionists for many decades. It is a Zionist psyops that insists that Jews are the same as Zionists. And it is a lie that is used to get America to fight their war and pay for it at the same time.
BRAVISSIMO, Phil - I'm C & P'ing your comment right now and sharing it with my friends and family. I believe the "great tribulation" will be starting within the next decade and Christians and TRUE Jewish adherents will be tortured and killed for their faith. Best for us who claim to be either one of those adherents prepare for the onslaught with dedication and intense, constant prayer and PUSHING BACK against the evil onslaught - each in our own manner!
Sorry dude but so much of what you say is so inaccurate.
You *are* correct in saying that Judaism is a religion.
BUT its not ONLY a religion, it’s ALSO a RACE. (IE, there are actual GENETIC tests for many different conditions that are highly correlated to those who are Jewish, IRRESPECTIVE of the religion they observe, or don’t observe as the case may be.)
And WTH you mean about “Zionist attacks on Christians” I have NO IDEA about, but the very devout Christian population where I live, I LOVE not the least reason is because they widely profess their love for Israel (for whatever reason. It matters not to me why.) I have heard of ZERO claims of “Zionists” being anti-Christian.
Sadly there are way too many Jews with suicidal empathy for their enemy; hence the election of Mamdani.
Correct. This is our only chance to get these people out of our country. I’d love to shut the border for ten years and not let anyone in. We will go the way of Europe if we don’t stop it.
Nope, creditable sources put the number at about 11 million not 50 million as you suggest. There are other problems with your post; run your text through any and all AI sources for a realistic, set of numbers.
Jeff, notwithstanding your generally positive take on things, objectivity sometimes requires airing out the ugly side of things; namely the logistical nightmare for many people to cough up a passport or birth certificate coupled to a driver’s license. As a repercussion, all citizens will eventually be forced into the ONE TRUE ID that the Fed would logically impose. It may be beneficial to examine the logistical challenge of requiring voter ID.
Perhaps the threat of steep criminal consequences would be sufficient to minimize voter fraud.
Tom, Your comment ended up on my thread, not Jeff's main thread. However, I can't help but respond. . .
-- If a citizen can't find his birth certificate he does not deserve to vote(incompetence, unreliability) because if he doesn't concern himself enough with his own birth papers how can we fellow citizens expect he is truly concerned with voting objectively.
-- If a citizen has no birth papers he is NOT a citizen in THIS country. THIS should be the law.
-- There SHOULD be some minimal base level of citizenship proof and the birth certificate ALWAYS has been in the past. It has also been the basis to obtain a passport, making it possible to legally return or enter this country again; and, it is the worldwide accepted proof of citizenship. A birth certificate also has been the standard to obtain a SS card. Sorry, you, me, every damn person needs a birth certificate to get by in this world for many important things-- accept the reality.
Possibly your last sentence is THE most out of touch with reality of all. Steep criminal consequences. . . really.
Consequences don't happen without first catching, prosecuting, and having laws that bite. This has NOT happened, is not LIKELY to happen, and it will only happen at the great expense of taxPAYERS paying for liberal attorneys' to defend these people.
372 of the representatives, took a break from squeaking epsteen epsteen epsteen to vote AGAINST revealing the million$ of taxpayer dollars spent on Congress sexual harassment claims.
You could well be correct and I certainly can't refute your historical citations but isn't it kind of OUR FAULT, We The People, who failed in each of our respective States, to restrain the Federal government?
Absolutely. We the People lost our way. We forgot that we are supposed to take care of ourselves. So, instead of wanting the government to protect us, as in our founding, we allowed for the government to take care of us. Bad idea!
We allowed this madness to happen - in 1913 with the 16th and 17th Amendments and the Federal Reserve Act. People were outraged during the Giled Age and created the progressive movement where the big government will take care of the people.
And, then in the 1930s, the depression era big government made it worse, and then in the 1960s, it turbo charged the idea of big government with the War on Poverty, and so on...
But, what if we examined the big federal government and checked off what agencies protect us v. what agencies take care of us, get rid of the "taking care of us" agencies and let the rich fund charities again, instead of the government: https://lizlasorte.substack.com/p/let-the-rich-fund-charity-again?r=76q58
I’d say our public academic institutions over the past 30-40 years didn’t properly teach our nation’s children, specifically so most of those children grew up expecting that it’s normal and proper for the government to take a bigger role in taking care of us. We were given a much different assembly diagram for our bikes of freedom, and it’s missing both the pedals and the brakes.
Most people don’t understand that it’s our fault, and weren’t given the right kind of education to be able to recognize that. Are they really guilty or were they misled down the wrong road?
I hear you. When I was about 7 or so, my Dad used to tell me "ignorance is no excuse." That's how I was brought up. A bit extreme for a child, but it's really the truth. No excuses.
That said, I graduated from Univ. of DE in 1989 with enough credits to be a history minor (and I was too ignorant to do the papework, thus I'm just an English major). But my point is, is that I took so much American history - because I loved it - but here's the real kicker: with all that early American history, I never learned about our founder Robert Yates (Brutus) - until not that long ago when reading the Anti-Federalist Papers out of curiosity.
Thing is - Brutus warned us of all the corruption we know today. But he got vaporized down the memory hole as an "Anti-Federalist."
Thanks for this post Liz. I've not heard of Robert Yates. Interesting that he disagreed with what they were doing at the Convention of 1787. That's my fears for the push for the Article V Convention. They will overstep their bounds and put in a worse Constitution.
Agreed. I used to think it was a good idea - but we have a socialist/commie running NYC!!!
Now, I think we should work on dismantling the federal government agencies that take care of us, and leave taking care of people to the states to deal with - if the people want that.
The government that gives us everything is the government that can take it all away.
But that's a big lift - ending SS and Medicare, Medicaid and all that.
I'll have to re-read my history (really, not being snarky...as much as I LOVE that) but I don't think the People created the progressive movement.
I like all the comments here about how America used to be, how we used to be more rooted in the Constitution and individual responsibility. However, to give our parent's generation a little slack, just a little, those pushing communism (let's not call it progressivism, leftism, whateverism...call it what it is) were and are deeply misguided. Deeply as in suicidally misguided.
And our parents did not push back on that. But to be fair, neither are we! The entire Dem Party is captive to that evil. Mamdummy is a lot of things, but above all else I suspect he is a "good Muslim". Meaning that his deepest desire is to see all of us dead! Sure, converted would be ok too, but in the dark heart of the Islamists, they want murder more than converts. I don't know their hearts...I'm just judging by their actions.
Our founders tried to make the constituion rock solid, but in 1913, 3/4 of the states voted for the 16th Amendment (income tax = big government), 17th Amendment (so dumbheads like Kamala Harris could not be a senator) but worst of all, perhaps is that Congress voted for the Federal Reserve Act that created the banking cartel we know today.
And, the Progressive era followed the Gilded Age. Why is that?
All of the comments and observations in this thread are part of the truth. As Biblical history illustrates, the underlying truth to this whole thread is that civil government always ends up becoming the enemy of the people. Why? Because as Richard Maybury said, "Power corrupts the morals and the judgement." The political earthquake that fractured the constitutional bedrock of our former republic was the Lincoln war of 1861 which was subsequently lionized by the Lincoln Memorial temple of worship, the greatest war president in American history. From that point forward, the USG has forever been on a quest for more and more centralized power over the people. And the rest is history, albiet aided and abetted by the centuries old British banking empire who twice failed to conquer by force the rebellious Americans in 1775 and 1812.
Yes, we expected them to represent us but they raped, pillaged and burned us instead. And they irreconcilably divided us, intentionally. And they built election theft into our election system, making it a s_election system allowing them to stay in power forever.
Bullshit. In previous corrupt "administrations", I'd wholeheartedly agree but not with Trump, who has rebuilt the American military to protect the country, maintain our sovereignty (unlike the last 5 or 6 corrupt "presidents) and when necessary conduct operations (like Venezuela and Iran) to rid us of those who cause chaos around the world. He is not "bypassing the Constitution, that is a ridiculous statement to make given the War Powers Act gives him the authority to act, was passed by Congress and not struck down by the SCOTUS. It is active law, previously used by every president.
So glad to see a woman posting about Plato and Aristotle and your summation in paragraph 2!
I was recently informed that at least one university refuses to teach Plato because of his views on women. This is like refusing water in the desert because one finds the vessel blemished. Karl Popper's view of Plato in his seminal book The Open Society and Its Enemies distorted Plato's views to a ridiculous level. Unfortunately, Popper's belief that destroying nation states would liberate "men" has been the inverse.
Corporations began as extensions of royal power, with military, not democratic, hierarchies. Are they actually constitutional or threats to the sovereignty of the Republic? Capitalism can exist without them, but ESG isn’t a solution. Is individual accountability, which is veiled by the corporate mantle, what capitalism needs to be responsible instead of plundering?
Jeff interview has been released for Mike Rowe’s podcast this morning… nice surprise when I checked Spotify earlier. Nice birthday gift, Jeff! Hope you have a great day!
Ooh I’m all giddy. I don’t use Spotify for podcasts ever, but I have the app on my iPhone logged into my younger son’s account for days we want music by the pool. Imagine my squeal when I clicked on the link and it opened right up, and it’s playable!
Oh dear, as if I need ANOTHER outlet to take me down more rabbit holes. I believe this opens Pandora’s box and I’ll be surfing other podcasts on Spotify now 😆
You don't need a subscription for spotify either. I use it for music and it's awesome. It even makes playlists for you from your music saved in your library. Free.
I’m 1 hour 20 mins in, I still have 52 mins left. It’s soooo good. Makes me love him all the more. It also makes sense now why so many new people are here trying to dismantle the core of C&C and their influence.
I didn’t put one because people listen on different apps, but Mike Rowe’s podcast is called ‘The Way I Heard it’. They probably all work if you search by his name, too.
I started that one but I don’t think I finished, sometimes I have to stop to do something and forget to go back and finish. I’ll go back to that one. I LOVE Gavin de Becker. Definitely listened to that one and gave his book ‘The Gift of Fear’ to my daughter and DIL.
And without becoming weak in faith he [Abraham] contemplated his own body, now as good as dead since he was about a hundred years old, and the deadness of Sarah’s womb; yet, with respect to the promise of God, he did not waver in unbelief but grew strong in faith, giving glory to God, and being fully assured that what God had promised, He was able also to do. Therefore it was also counted to him as righteousness. Now not for his sake only was it written that it was counted to him, but for our sake also, to whom it will be counted, as those who believe upon Him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead, He who was delivered over on account of our transgressions, and was raised on account of our justification.
Im wondering why there is a shift now in who is precluded from voting from “people of color” & raaaaacism to women…by the party that LOVES to humiliate & disenfranchise women, not only by being unable to define one, but by allowing men in women’s sports & spaces.
Maybe it’s because of Democrats’ most recent blunders while speaking to black audiences - Gavin Newsom, and most recently Joe Biden at Jessie Jackson’s funeral. Time to steer the ship in another direction.
It is interesting single-digit IQ Mazie Hirono was apparently the first to put out a PSA on the subject.
I was musing this morning about the irony that the ones screaming loudest about “the patriarchy” are also the ones making people think that women are too irrational and emotionally driven to be allowed to vote and making an argument for the return of the patriarchal system 😑
Did you see that commercial that came out right before the 2024 elections about how women who supported Kamala were in danger from their husbands and had to keep their vote secret, but Kamala saw them and was encouraging them to be strong?
I thought I was going to bust a lung laughing at the ad, because in what effin' universe has an AWFL EVER had an issue having to keep her political beliefs on the downlow? In fact, it's 100% the opposite every single time - liberal women are so nasty about it that it's easier to stay silent around them then risk her wrath for speaking up. And they wonder why we overwhelmingly voted for toxic masculinity in 2024. 🤣
You can also bust a lung that any competent, confident woman would give a shit about what their husband thinks of their vote! And that goes for either side of the aisle
But, but , but.....What about the poor trans woman who shows up to vote, and because her driver's license indicates that she is a man but her dress, high heels, make-up, and hair CLEARLY indicates that she is a WOMAN, her right to vote might be infringed upon!
I so affirm this. “Post is a little shorter today.” Jeff, some people take their birthdays off. Don’t burn yourself out. Yes, we all look for your wisdom daily, but we wish you health and strength for this task every day, so please feel free to REST once in awhile. I wish you many more happy birthdays, friend.
Some 40+ years ago, without internet mind you, I was a green 20-year-old when I got married. I was somehow able to figure out how to change my name on my drivers license and social security card. I even managed to change my name at college so that my diploma has my married name too. I didn’t realize I was such a genius — and without even a YouTube video or Google to show me how! 🤓👰♀️
Hard to believe there are still open court cases concerning "comply or starve" forced vaccination protocols, i.e., forced medical procedures. See also: forced bodily intrusions. Nevermind that these wonder shots can maim or kill you. How much more evidence needs to be brought to the table? This has to be settled in court?! Truly mind boggling. I shake my head in utter disbelief. The covid/vaxx perps sure knew what they were doing. Played us like a knock-off Stradavarius.
How about this: “Good morning everyone. For the good of the company, there's been a new set of protocols put in place, one of which is all female employees must sleep with the boss. Those with ideological or religious “complications” will be escorted off property. Refusal will result in your immediate termination.” Well, that would just be ridiculous.
We personally know a minor league player who was forced out even though they had slated him to be moving up. We know because we were his host home. But he refused the jab. Along with 3 others and lo and behold all 3 of them got let go the same exact day. I text him the other day about this law suit and told him he should get a civil suit started with the other minor leaguers who got discriminated against and had their dream of playing major league stolen from them. There’s a lot of them.
In 2021 we also hosted a college player in the summer Valley League, who along with all of the others were doing extra to try and get a shot at the Bigs. He also was not jabbed, and had to test every week. He was smart enough to never get jabbed, but ended up with Tommy John surgery. None of his family jabbed. . He was able to talk his girlfriend at the time into not getting the jab, but her family considered her a pariah. Don't think he ever got drafted, but we stay in touch. Very religious, and quite a family. His father or his grandfather are in Haiti 365 running the huge warehouse food bank they founded, even when TSHTF. He said the Haitians absolutely despise the Clintons.
Yes. On Children's Defense Network site. 3-6 X higher incidence of Allergies, Autoimmune System Diseases, Asthma, and Neurological issues in vaccinated children . 18K child study by Ford Health in MI
The push continues in medicine, students are required to get the COVID shots for clinical rotations. All the "systems" still continually push COVID boosters. Stupid security theater type masking protocols.
clearly a violation of the Nuremberg protocols and the government's own rules about "experimental" medications - should be a slam dunk for the plaintiffs and I hope the punitive award is staggering to United and a lesson to every other business
Yeah…we've all witnessed plenty of slam dunk moments that bounced unceremoniously off the rim. This place is a lunatic asylum. Fauci, Gates et al still making the rounds sailing off the wake of their most recent contrived maim and murder spree.
I used a similar analogy when people would make the stupid argument about forced mask wearing, saying that private businesses “can do what they want.” No, they can’t. There are many limits to what private businesses are allowed to do. Forcing customers or employees to submit to a medical intervention (and no, masks are not “part of a dress code” as some people maintained 🙄 but a medical device) should not ever be within the rights of any private business or government office.
Right?? Especially since with coronaviruses as far as I know, the most effective way of making it spread is through the symptoms (coughing or sneezing).
One of the few "constants" I've been able to identify behind all the drama on the political stage is the fact that every aspect of the Depopulation Agenda is still operational and unimpeded by the Trump regime. The crowning piece of this Agenda is the military's slow-kill bio-weapon injection that is STILL supported by Trump.
It's interesting to behold. Some topics - immigration, for example - are easily distinguishable, but so many other massively important topics get drawn out or totally pushed aside by both sides. I use “both” in the loosest of terms.
“Yesterday, midwit Democrat Senator Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii) posted a selfie arguing against the SAVE America Act that was so ridiculous and moronic that I briefly lost confidence in our constitutional system of government itself. Her argument —and I wish I were making this up— was that married women won’t be able to navigate an ID requirement to vote.”
One google search reveals how “complicated” it is for married women to get the “required documents” needed to register to vote.
I called the county clerk’s office, an hour from where I live now, and requested copy of my first marriage certificate (from 49 years ago). It cost $16.50 to have them certify and mail to me the same day. It was so hard!!
Hawaii is heavily influenced by Chinese psyops. Like the Borg, China's long term goal (and that's the only way they think) is to simply assimilate Hawaii as the population is displaced by Chinese immigrants.
Any woman who got herself an official ID with her married name on it already went through this "I am who I was and here's who I am" exercise to get that ID in the first place. If you're lucky, you put those documents someplace safe to use whenever you needed multiple points of identification for a driver's license or a passport or a job or whatever, in which case you already have what you need. If not, you got it once, you can get it again.
If it’s that complicated, then clearly Hirono is in a job that is way beyond her capabilities. She should immediately resign before she hurts herself and others.
Yep. But name changes are a little more difficult. A marriage just requires a marriage certificate. Legal name changes are a little more Complex. My husband legally changed his name years ago. And we did have to jump through some hoops in order to get him a passport lol. But surprise surprise. He has a passport.
God bless those United Airlines employees, I hope they successfully sue UA into oblivion. But either way it's heartening (pun intended), to know that over 2000 professionals were smart enough to save their lives, and ultimately their livelihoods by refusing the myocarditis cancerous death juice, so win or loose they actually won. If I had an airline I'd be recruiting those folks hard...
I was put through a similar ordeal in the summer of 21 when I was forced to get an RA or face termination. The company I worked for gave me accommodations for 90 days at a time (illegal); wouldn't let me in a room with more than 3 other employees (why not 2 or 4?); wouldn't let me see customers (I did anyway). They ended up cancelling the vax requirement in Apr 2022. People here also got fired for not getting vaxxed. One woman was pregnant at the time and her doctor said to wait until she gave birth. The company didn't care and fired her anyway.
Similarly, I worked for the US Forest Service, upon the 2021 mandate requested a RA which was NEVER processed or even looked at, fought it and joined the lawsuit by Feds for Medical Freedom which got the federal injunction in 2022, filed an EEO which was dismissed by the USDA/FS after which I retired to end the nonstop intimidation and harassment which they had no intention of stopping, but formally filed with EEOC which is still pending now 5 years later but still being requested to dismiss by the CURRENT USDA/FS as of 2025, also was required to mask and test per the retribution and coercion at the time... I fully expect the EEOC to eventually dismiss the case per their track record, and there was not enough USDA employees willing to join and pay for a class action to seek justice... Bitter moral and otherwise injuries after 35 years of firefighting protecting people and property, but I'm alive today and my principles remain intact so thank God for that.
Wow. I hoped someone would have started a class action, but reading this it probably would have ended the same way. I retired in Jul 22; but not before taking my 6 week sabbatical at the end.
Just think what would have happened if even 40-50% of their employees would have refused. That happened to Smuckers with their floor workers in their plant. They quickly reversed the mandate, but stood firm on the mandate office worker - most of whom were working from home! And some were fired for it including their private pilot and mechanic.
I have no idea who you are (hiding behind a stupid avatar) or why you made that comment.
You could have easily done a simple search to find this statement from Fox Business:
"Unvaccinated United Airlines employees who were placed on unpaid leave due to the company’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate reported being restricted from accessing certain company benefits, including their 401(k) retirement accounts, according to legal complaints and testimony from employees."
My apologies Kathleen - that post was in total error it wasn’t supposed to even be a reply - I tried to correct it but big thumb hit the post button. I spent a lot of time trying to find it to delete it, in all sorts of ways, obviously unsuccessfully.
You are most definitely not a troll!!!
I am frustrated by some newer commenters who constantly post assertions with no receipts, always implying that this commenting community is somehow not informed with “real information.” I am inclined to think those commenters are not in good faith, IOW, planted to rile things up. Gotta remember the information war.
Cannot wait for discovery. United played seriously dirty. Like the way they sent POSTCARDS to be sure the spouse, who might not realize their pilot / flight attendant spouse was trying to avoid the jab. Some spouses read the postcards and pressured to stop the solidarity with other employees and just get the damnjab. It worked in some cases. Wonder how many of those pressuring spouses are now widows.
John Thune is spineless. Except when it comes to being against doing the right thing, then he has a stubborn spine.
These senatewhores are so worthless. Even the ones who want to do the right thing don’t want to depose the very jerk that stands in the way of them doing the right thing.
He is disgusting and worthless. He certainly doesn't represent his constituents. Way too many in the Senate who believe they are the sole arbiter of policy, the people be damned.
I've said here before that I'd been calling, emailing, and bugging as much as possible about the SAVE Act.
No one in his office picks up the phone. No one is checking the answering machine. No one is calling or emailing back.
And then I see that he is labeling someone like me as a "paid influencer" for wanting to protect my vote by making sure it isn't offset by manufactured votes?
Pretty much every DC so called representative office is the same. IF the phone is even answered by a person, it’s a low level minion who likely ash cans the message. They don’t care about you for the 21 Months or the five years 9 months of the time. They only “care” the few months before an election and even then they don’t really “care”.
That's one of my big worries about all of these MAGA candidates winning their primaries; I support them, but I also pray that they don't become the swamp creatures they're running to fight.
I remember the push for him as senate leader against … who was it, Rick Scott? And most of MAGA wanted Scott and were furious when the establishment ignored us and delegated Thune to that role. We need to dish out some “I told ya so” noogies.
While there is reasonable suspicion that Thune is still alive, it is not as certain that he and most of his colleagues in the Senate are represented by something other than cardboard cutouts.
Also…I think Thune is angry that X has so much power, and reveals the truth of things. They can’t control the narrative anymore and it infuriates him because he doesn’t know how to navigate truthful waters where sunlight hits everything.
Not sure why this was not covered. FBI seizes ballots in Maricopa County. Over 200K ballots with signature mismatch. Out of state ballots. Blank ballots mixed with filled out ballots. Hey, but other than that, probably the most secure election ever.
By the time they get the investigation completed, given likely lawfare against it... all the scumbags that got in via FRAUD will have completed their terms.
Our DOJ with corrupt, lying Kash, Blondi and Blanche is FUBAR. Wiles is as bad or worse. Trump seems to be slipping into dementia, his rants grow more goofy by the day. His war on Iran for Israel is a total mess, despite the ongoing propaganda.
I’m sure you get your information straight from the Almighty, Zero. That’s why you’re so damn smart😂🤣😂🤣😂
Surprised you showed up today since there wasn’t anything in Jeff’s post to dump on Trump about. Good for you going the extra mile; above and beyond the call of duty or doody.
Don, Don, Don…. Your cook is your problem. Properly prepared, as Mrs. Childers’ version certainly is, the end-result will be as fluffy as a goose down pillow, as light as the air in Mazie Hirono's head, and as rich as a four-term congressman.
The SAVE Act is one thing our current crop of RINOs can't abide - common sense. Not only is it perfectly constitutional, not only is it the runaway favorite of all the people, it fortifies the backbone of the republic - that one man (person) has one vote, and by that power the republic is governed.
John Thune is still beholden to the donors, lobbyists, and power mongers that infest politics today. The only improvement made by replacing the Murder Turtle with Thune was that he probably wouldn't stroke out or fall on a weekly basis.
My first husband died and 6 years later, I got married again. According to Hirono, does that make me twice as stupid? WHAT kind of people does this woman represent? Who voted for this idiot?
I think the island culture of niceness towards their elders is keeping her there. Our maybe threats to anybody who runs, because I'm sure she is VERY controllable, and that's how people pulling the strings want their representatives.
It's hard to understand anyone who would vote against the SAVE act.
Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, et. al, all warned that democracies lead to tyranny due to the uneducated electorate and Plato elaborated by using the metaphor of sailing a ship (do you want an incompetent captain and crew who have never sailed a ship to steer the ship?)
Plato also used the metaphor of the oligarch giving birth to the democrat who gave birth to the tyrant. So, the constitutional republic that was supposed to restrain democracy gave birth to a corporatocracy giving us too many industrial complexes.
Well, America isn't the America of my youth, ie, the America we all wish it still is. When nearly one-third of the US population are now aliens, ie, non-citizens, the SAVE Act is pretty close to a life or death issue for the Demonrat Party which is well on it's way to extinction.
Addendum: I feel compelled to add that the "writing is on the wall" for all to see who have eyes. Out of a total population of 330 million, aliens now account for about 105 million, half of which are illegal and the other half on visas. In 1970, white Christian Americans accounted for 90% of the population. Today, that number is less than 60% and falling. The reproduction rate of white Americans is below the replacement rate. The reproduction rate of the alien immigrants is prolly around 5 or 6 babies per wife and frequently, a man has multiple wives.
Just do the math. White America is headed for extinction or close to it. This is what I mean by "the writing is on the wall". (For non-Christians, that is a Biblical reference.)
Yes, the SAVE Act interferes with mail in ballot box stuffing which got uncle Joe into office.
I live in a state that has had ONLY mail ballots for decades. In that time period, Oregon has gone from a quirky but normal state to full batshit crazy.
More than one election has been settled with an amazing discovery of ballots in the middle of the night that magically had just enough Democrat votes to turn the election to the Democrats.
Mail in ballots result in compromised elections. Change my mind.
I used to live in Oregon. Oregon went to the mail-in ballots in 1987. The last Republican Governor for Oregon was from 1979-1987 (Vic Atyiyeh). Not a coincidence. I agree that mail-in ballots result in compromised elections.
You really don't even have to be critical to see how it's messed up Oregon. Just look at the box checking politicians, Kate Brown was the first openly LGBT Gov in Oregon. By the end of her term, Brown had the lowest approval ratings of any incumbent U.S. governor at that time. Do we really believe residents of OR then voted in Tina Kotek? "May I have some more sir, please?" Umm...no.
Mayoral election for Chicago, I think it was, was exactly the same: a left wing utterly useless mayor was replaced (rigged election imo) by another useless Democrat mayor, the only difference was that it was a guy!
Lesbian Democrat (MA) Governor Maura Healey is close on her heels.
California has been doing the same thing since Covid. That being said, CA has had rigged elections for a long time. I don’t remember when they stopped requiring ID, but it’s been decades, and then they gave illegals driver’s licenses. When you sign up for a DL, you have the option of registering to vote… on a screen…with zero proof of citizenship.
Yeah, no voter fraud here…
Exactly. Mass illegal immigration and Massive/wholesale mail in ballot fraud is stealing our country. The corrupt crime-ocrats (and by that I mean 99% of dems and all rinos) know their only chance to win is to load the election full of fake ballots (rinos do it during the primaries to get to the general, then some of them win and some of them lose to make it appear our elections are legit.) When illegals came across the border the first mission was to register them to vote in their final state for the federal elections with the ballot going to a drop house to be voted by a dem operative. And since there is no chain of custody and no requirement to show an ID to get a ballot, it becomes simple to steal an election.
Dan, EXACTLY!
Same is true here in Washington. All the elections seem rigged to me.
How true, Sharon. We live in the NW corner of WA state. Moved here in 1988 and it was solid red, now, in the last decade, we have lost all our Republican leadership at the state and federal level, and we see no chance to ever turn things around. The leadership out of Olympia is getting crazier and crazier with their higher taxation and attacks on the family and parental rights. We are like a "voice crying in the wilderness...prepare ye the way of the Lord". He is the only one that can change hearts and minds.
We moved here in 1983, when things were fine in Washington. When they changed to all mail in ballots, we were too busy taking care of our little kids to pay much attention. Little did we know what a disaster that would turn out to be.
It seems you may be right!
The same thing happens in Washington State. I cleary remember the 2004 Governor election. Dino Rossi (R) won the election over Christine Gregoire (D). Gregoire demanded a recount, Rossi won the second count. Gregoire demanded another count and lo and behold a box of ballots was found behind the break room refrigerator and they were all Gregoire votes and she wins the Governor race. Horse lucky!!! They clearly cheated Rossi.
My state is Bat$hit crazy as well. Sideshow Bob is actively doing everything he can to install an income tax against the wishes of the population and the State Constitution. I love my beautiful State, but the politicians that have held the Capitol for 4 decades have run it into the ground.
You said it so well! We grieve over what has happened here!
Ask Chris Dudley about losing an Oregon Governor race in the dark of night (2010). He's running again this year, primary in May. I'm getting the impression he now knows the election system is rigged. It would be nice if all primary candidates would address the issue.
For fellow Oregon time travelers, the tricks being played with the 4.3B transportation referendum is proof positive the left WILL manipulate whatever they need to to remain in office and keep their super majority.
💯 on the money! This selection was very revealing/ disgusting. I’m afraid that we may have to move soon as the crazy in Olympia is coming unglued.
Tapestrygarden, fellow disenchanted Oregonian here. I'm in complete agreement with you. "Mail in ballots result in compromised elections." No changing your or my minds. It is easy to see if one just looks for the truth. It's very apparent. I have done a lot of deep looking and there is no question about it! Oregon's election process is corrupt. Just look at Tom Fitton's work at Judicial Watch. He has brought legal suit two times in the last 2 years and exposed the corruption. It's very easy to see if you know where to look. And our state leadership just thumbs their nose at Justice and Truth. Infuriating beyond measure!
How can there be 800,000 inactive voters carried on voter rolls for years? That my friends, is votes in the leftist bank for the rainy day election where it looks like a conservative candidate will win.
Impossible to trust the outcome of any mail in election.
Thune, "C'mon man, no joke". Bring SAVE America to the floor!
Yes, too right! Normie: "but it can't have been rigged, judges have thrown the cases out"
The judge appointment scam has deprived Oregon citizens of honest judges for years. On top of that, judges are willfully ignorant of the election system, sustaining any objection made by the Secretary of State, reasonable or not.
Living here in Oregon with ya! What a mess.
My jaw just hit the floor. I didn't know ANY state was using ONLY mail in ballots for their elections. That is bat shit crazy alright and just ripe for fraud. Will that change with the SAVE act or only for Federal elections?
SPOT ON, Tapestry! How long have you lived in the "Land of Portlanders"?
I grew up in eastern Oregon, left for college in 1974 and returned to Eastern Oregon in 2022. When I lived in Portland after college, it was actually quite a lovely city with a vibrant downtown and mayors that we’re not completely crazy. The city was run by business men who were probably socially liberal, but certainly fiscally conservative. The viral crazies chased away all the timber companies and many of the other businesses. The tech Bros how old are moved up from California in Oregon was ruined.
Portland is in a doom loop and will never recover. Eastern Oregon is a little better but we’re still stuck with the statewide elections it give us loons that like Tina Kotek.
I remember reading an article in Newsweek of one of those MSM 'rags' back around 2010 touting the vibrancy of Portland, OR and how the entire city could be safely navigated via BICYCLE (cars were welcome on a limited basis in some areas.) The article also mentioned how the city council and mayor over the previous decade had rejuvenated and redesigned Portland and had almost ERASED the homeless and vagrant issues. Either this article was a vapid LIE or a lot has changed in only 16 years.
That’s how Al Frankin became us senator 🤔
Same in Northern CA 😡
Sadly the America of our youth was setting the stage we are dealing with today. The so called greatest generation, which includes my parents whom I love, were not as great as we like to think. For the most part their offspring are responsible for the events of the day.
It's disappointing because what we thought we had back in the day was really the calm before the storm; and it didn't have to be like this, but nobody stopped it when it could have been stopped.
Hard times build strong men.
Strong men build good times.
Good times build weak men.
Weak men build hard times.
never gets old.
The Greatest Generation label is an overworked label out of nowhere. Perhaps it was used to glorify WWII as validation of the political New World Order drive which was then being sought after?
The moms of that generation called 'the greatest' were real ladies and the men for the most part were manly and came with a code of ethics now sorely lacking. Men were men and women were still women, and all in a recognizable way. In this sense, these folks were 'great' compared to huge numbers of today's 'anything goes' population who seem to be lost fractured identity souls . However, the moms and dads of the so-called 'greatest' generation had no way of knowing what future was being engineered for them from on high by the wicked Dear Leader class, people like front man David Rockefeller. Walter Conkite surely was not going to let any dirty secrets out of the bag on the CBS Evening News. America was daily being betrayed for the whole of our dad's and mom's lives and they had no way of knowing the extent of it because 'news' was already all bottled up by the corporate press of the day.
But in present time, the younger generations, many of them want to be real men and woman again, and they long for sanity to return back to life. Such are my daily rays of sunshine.
In the 60's, God started to be removed from our culture. Prayer was removed from school. People were encouraged to be free to experiment so morality went out the door with the sexual revolution. The following decades were just a spiral into degeneracy. Now we are at a point where satanism is being boldly showcased in our culture. In state governments, schools, music, movies, etc. Conversely, many young people (Gen Z) are returning to the Church. There is a hunger for tradition, morality and God. Aslan is on the move and I pray that the younger generation will bring a resurgence of greatness to America. We need to turn to God, repent of our sins, otherwise it will be as God planned to do to the people of Ninevah. Praise be to God for He is good all the time. His mercy endures forever.
A while back, I had to look up the “offensive prayer” that triggered Engel v. Vitale (1962).
It was this: "Almighty God, we acknowledge our dependence upon Thee, and we beg Thy blessings upon us, our parents, our teachers, and our country."
And now, teachers and social workers in CA, et. al., are not ALLOWED to tell parents that their child wants to commit self-harm (gender issues)!
I hope Gen Z pulls us out of this mess!
Indeed, “Aslan is on the move”…CSL.
Marxism and the 'any goes crowd' just gets to psycho-sick to stomach, even for the upcoming generations, many of them. And God bless them.
Agree, well done.
The label became popular when Tom Brokaw wrote a book with that as the title.
Thanks ... I would not have known that.
I’m inclined to go back to finish reading Tom Brokaw’s book, he wrote two, on the greatest generation. Met him in Big Sky, Mt, way back when. He may have invented that phrase. You know, they really were the best of Western civilization compared to what came after. Too many new things made ppl lazy after the fifties.
I think it’s the Rothschilds that we have to blame for the political climate and crises in society since then.
Then along came Gates, Epstein, etc., all wanting a share of the profits as shown in the recently released Epstein files. It’s mind blowing how much is revealed as shown in the X posts by @FatEmperor or Ivor Cummins
Hi Marsha Louise ...
I am inclined to agree with you in an overall casting of your thoughts. Writing was of a fairly high standard well into the 1950's, especially with the then older writers. The upcoming new writers were mostly of no account. For example, we haven't had someone of T. S. Eliot's stature since mid the last century. Books like the Anglo-American Establishment were suppressed by, and in the case of Carroll Quigley by his own publisher who bought the publishing rights to the book from Quigley and then refused to publish the book. Present day cult classics like The Dispossessed Majority could not find a major publisher and certain books simply were not allowed to be distributed. I could go on and on because I knew some of these people personally. Eustace Mullins, for example, lived in my wife's home town of Staunton, Virginia ... and I ran into him a few times under different circumstances. Mullins had to self-publish through tiny publishing companies which had limited distribution. Simply stated, the control society is nothing new.
In fact, bad literature and art was promoted. Interesting stuff of a higher quality was suppressed. I saw all of this happen first hand in Manhattan first hand. The most stupid of stuff, like 'installations' were promoted. Piss Christ by Serrano was touted as revolutionary leading edge. A white background canvass painting with a thin stripe down the length was supposed to be some kind of super-genius statement. And I believe all the cultural dumbing down of standards was totally intentional.
I guess I am a stick stuck in the mud, and I don't cotton to hyperbola, exaggerated statements and bombast, and so I simply say that my father's and mom's generation were pretty solid. And life in the neighborhoods was pretty good, and that's even in that larger cities. And the neighborhoods were run by the moms. And if the moms didn't like something going on, the dads heard about it once they were home from work. And an orderly life was maintained without The Guberment stepping in.
Nice to hear from you and God speed,
Dave
One comment I would add to these good ones is this biblical truth from the book of Ecclesiastes 1:9:
That which has been is what will be,
That which is done is what will be done,
And there is nothing new under the sun.
Each generation has good and evil because of the curse of SIN!
Thank God, He has made a way to redeem His creation and mankind made in His image - with the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ! Amen!
Amen
I disagree, they were great, they worked hard, made babies (didn't murder them) and families and built the nation post WW2. If they failed anywhere, it was in trusting their elected officials, most of whom were and are deeply corrupt criminals with hidden agendas.
On a different subject and re: "Mojtaba Khamenei". He hasn't been seen, or heard from in several days. I believe he is iran's version of an autopen leader (like braindead retard biden) and the underlings and IRGC will be the ones actually running the show. So, if Israel and/or the US hits him (there are rumors he was wounded in the strike that killed daddy terrorist and wifey terrorist) it wont really mean anything to how the country is being run.
IRGC structure is probably running everything there.
The big question is where are those protesters and their leadership? Obviously, they fear the IRGC.
I agree, and the IRGC are ruthless theologically driven murderers. The Iranians are going to have to dig deep, find some courage and take them on. I think it is the Kurds who are beginning to engage from the North. That is a start but there are about 80 million iranians seemingly standing on the sidelines right now.
You mean like Cabbage?!
Correct, Sir! Because they all want the money and power derived from BP or whatever that company is called these days. Follow the money and it's history guys. Same ole song.....
Later Jay
The last part of your second sentence is what I'm speaking of.
I agree with most all of what you say, but have a very hard time assigning a "generation" as being more inclined to failure than another.
I would like to add that during the entire duration of our republic Bureaucracy has recursively built upon itself. The resulting level of complication(Gov. Employees, laws, regs, populism, and special interests) catalyzed crises as various stages of critical mass were reached. Just as the stock market spikes high and eventually dumps, the mess you see now is likely the culmination of critical mass causing catastrophic situations.
I assign this mess to entropy.
I love when newbies blame the Boomers.
Boomers fought back. We marched, we protested, we circulated petitions, we demonstrated, we fought back.
The subsequent generations did NOTHING.
Did you stop the flouride, the autism-causing childrens vaxxines, the Chemtrailing, the 5(G), the deliberate dumbing-down of American children, the glyphosates?
No, you played video games. And did NOTHING.
The subsequent generations are THE reason the New World 0rder is unfolding exactly as planned and on schedule.
You did nothing.
That's because they all got participation trophies for just showing up. They didn't have to try at all.
Yes, I've noticed Boomers being blamed for various diverse things recently. I guess we're an easy target for the young ones to lash out at. That's okay. Our shoulders are broad. We can bear it.
Good points.
Saying "generation" is a generalization for a focal point.
It's easier to trust your government, until it's too late. As far as I know there has never been a government that should have been trusted. They are always corrupt; always. That was true throughout the 20th century too.
Man's nature is corrupt. That's what got us into this situation in the first place with Adam and Eve.
True. In the 50s and 60s America was still coasting on the inherited cultural capital of prior generations while the contemporary generation was basking in the "glory" of having been the "heroes" of the greatest forever-war in American history, the great war of WWI/II.
Yes, agree. Speaking for my long gone parents who might be considered to be decent working class people who worked hard to get to middle class. They had a firm idea that the march of history was inevitable and the way it had always been was the way it would always be. They assumed a continual march of constant incremental improvements that all sane people would support, just as they all saw all sane people pull together on the war efforts. They further always presumed any enemies would come from outside, never dreaming any could come from within, still less that anything they were doing would cause problems later on.
But the most important thing, to critically examine their leaders, went against the 'we're all in this together now' approach. And i think that thought didn't occur to them and perhaps others until after at least another decade of coasting from prior generations work as well as post-war euphoria.
Thankfully they had their final declines on the late nineties, just when things were starting to take a noticeable turn for the worse and by the first few years of the early '00's, they were gone without understanding how bad things were starting to get.
That assumption of things always improving, people always pulling together sensibly, and the most optimistic view possible of politicians has proved disastrous.
Yet, if they were here today, I doubt they would understand what happened. In their case, they just wanted to be left alone to live their lives and let smarter, fully trusted people handle the big stuff. They were not alone in those beliefs. A lesson that taking things for granted and insulating oneself from realities is a terrific way to have a nation slip through your fingers.
It will be a very long time until there is another generation in that position again.
So agree, but in fairness I look at the truths we have uncovered in the last six years and I can understand how so many missed what was happening. I remember thinking after the 2020 (s)election, as I was going down rabbit hole after rabbit hole, that I wished it was JUST about a stolen election. I’m thankful my parents never lived to see what was uncovered.
Ditto.
The ethics/culture of the "Greates Generation" has evaporated.
And coming out of FDR's contrived depression created a type of euphoria which took their eye off the events occurring in the shadows.
You should try reading a good American history book.
Oh dude, I am so reminded of the Frank Zappa quote. Ignore the problem. You will feel better and the problem will get worse.
Sometimes it just has to go that way.
Fiat, Yes! Perfect. So very much our human nature. Thanks.
Bingo!

And the voter rolls are filled with ghost voters. There was a reason why so many nonprofits with the mission to register voters popped up the past fee decades. Black Fork Strategies was caught fraudulently registering voters in Ohio and Michigan.
You are always the "echo of my mind", Phil - danke for this post today. As for the 'death of the white people' - I keep thinking that SKIN COLOR should NEVER define the ethics or ethos of ANY population. After all, our Almighty Creator God - Yeshua - was an olive skinned human in His earthly ministry!! I have always formed opinions about anyone NOT based on their ethnicity or skin color - but on how they treat others and how they handle adversity in life (because, let's face it--LIFE IS HARD for most of us!).
Anyway...thanks Phil for a 'spot on' post today.
It's not about color of skin. It's the culture I grew up in which was a high trust society. I want to live in a high trust society with a culture that promotes that.
Spot on.
Thanks for the compliment Sharon.
You are quite correct about skin color. The American distinction is not about race. It's about culture and the moral underpinnings of that culture, ie, Christian morality. It's only coincidental that the "skin color" of the majority of America was white. This is illustrated by the fact that Black Americans which comprised about 10% of the population were of the same Christian culture. So "race" had nothing to do with it. This in spite of the fact that both the Marxist dialectic and the Zionist attacks upon Christian America have been based solely on race: the Marxist claiming that "white" people must be eliminated and the Zionist that counters every critique with claims of "Antisemitism" and "racism". Both of those ideologies are self-consciously racist and antithetical to Biblical morality... and explicitly so.
The immigrants of the 19th century came to America to become Americans. Most were white Europeans and Christian in faith. IE, they came to assimilate into the American culture because they admired what America stood for. The immigrants of the last 40 years since President Reagan began the VISA program of immigration, have come from alien cultures that are not based on Christian morality. This became especially acute with the open border invasion of aliens under the Marxist Biden regime. These people have NOT come to assimilate into American culture. Rather, they have come to conquer American culture and replace it with their own alien culture and in the process, replace us. A microcosm of this is the process of turning Minnesota into a new Somalia. This process can be seen most acutely in Ireland and Britain. They are being conquered.
We have to understand, this is a war. We have been invaded by a hostile, conquering culture. Sadly, I do not believe that 105 million aliens will be deported by the POTUS, not even the 50 million illegal aliens. Christian American culture, white and black, are most likely going to soon become a small minority in a culture that has become hostile to Christianity. I would guess within 10 years. Any effort to reverse that trend will be accompanied by civil violence. But I do not think that is going to happen. But what do I know - right? The reason for this is that the entire ruling class of America has become COMPLETELY corrupt as has been illustrated by the Epstein horrors.
Whatever happens, times are going to become very risky and planning with your extended family how to survive in such a war will become of upmost importance.
So much more to say but I must stop there.
One footnote: Judaism is a religion. Zionism is a political construct. Zionism is not a religion and it is NOT the same thing as Judaism. In fact, many Jews have been at war with Zionists for many decades. It is a Zionist psyops that insists that Jews are the same as Zionists. And it is a lie that is used to get America to fight their war and pay for it at the same time.
BRAVISSIMO, Phil - I'm C & P'ing your comment right now and sharing it with my friends and family. I believe the "great tribulation" will be starting within the next decade and Christians and TRUE Jewish adherents will be tortured and killed for their faith. Best for us who claim to be either one of those adherents prepare for the onslaught with dedication and intense, constant prayer and PUSHING BACK against the evil onslaught - each in our own manner!
SHALOM, Phil!
Sorry dude but so much of what you say is so inaccurate.
You *are* correct in saying that Judaism is a religion.
BUT its not ONLY a religion, it’s ALSO a RACE. (IE, there are actual GENETIC tests for many different conditions that are highly correlated to those who are Jewish, IRRESPECTIVE of the religion they observe, or don’t observe as the case may be.)
And WTH you mean about “Zionist attacks on Christians” I have NO IDEA about, but the very devout Christian population where I live, I LOVE not the least reason is because they widely profess their love for Israel (for whatever reason. It matters not to me why.) I have heard of ZERO claims of “Zionists” being anti-Christian.
Sadly there are way too many Jews with suicidal empathy for their enemy; hence the election of Mamdani.
Correct. This is our only chance to get these people out of our country. I’d love to shut the border for ten years and not let anyone in. We will go the way of Europe if we don’t stop it.
Nope, creditable sources put the number at about 11 million not 50 million as you suggest. There are other problems with your post; run your text through any and all AI sources for a realistic, set of numbers.
"Creditable"... Meaning official Gov't estimates which are sooo believable.
I would keep hammering "Somalia requires proof of citizenship ."
I believe you answered the question of who would vote against the SAVE act; the Uneducated Electorate. A college degree does not always mean educated!
There's a big difference between educated and intelligent.
Conservative - LOL, yes...it usually depends on who agrees with me!
and, in fact, no intent to flame anyone here(!), but those piled higher and deeper are perhaps most at risk, as many cannot see the forest.
Yes…they don’t break rank…freethinking not allowed.
They got educated wrongly. They know a lot that isn’t True; to paraphrase Reagan.
Jeff, notwithstanding your generally positive take on things, objectivity sometimes requires airing out the ugly side of things; namely the logistical nightmare for many people to cough up a passport or birth certificate coupled to a driver’s license. As a repercussion, all citizens will eventually be forced into the ONE TRUE ID that the Fed would logically impose. It may be beneficial to examine the logistical challenge of requiring voter ID.
Perhaps the threat of steep criminal consequences would be sufficient to minimize voter fraud.
Tom, Your comment ended up on my thread, not Jeff's main thread. However, I can't help but respond. . .
-- If a citizen can't find his birth certificate he does not deserve to vote(incompetence, unreliability) because if he doesn't concern himself enough with his own birth papers how can we fellow citizens expect he is truly concerned with voting objectively.
-- If a citizen has no birth papers he is NOT a citizen in THIS country. THIS should be the law.
-- There SHOULD be some minimal base level of citizenship proof and the birth certificate ALWAYS has been in the past. It has also been the basis to obtain a passport, making it possible to legally return or enter this country again; and, it is the worldwide accepted proof of citizenship. A birth certificate also has been the standard to obtain a SS card. Sorry, you, me, every damn person needs a birth certificate to get by in this world for many important things-- accept the reality.
Possibly your last sentence is THE most out of touch with reality of all. Steep criminal consequences. . . really.
Consequences don't happen without first catching, prosecuting, and having laws that bite. This has NOT happened, is not LIKELY to happen, and it will only happen at the great expense of taxPAYERS paying for liberal attorneys' to defend these people.
Merely indoctrinated.
Especially these days.
Well said. There is a lot to think about in your comment. Thanks
🙏
372 of the representatives, took a break from squeaking epsteen epsteen epsteen to vote AGAINST revealing the million$ of taxpayer dollars spent on Congress sexual harassment claims.
You could well be correct and I certainly can't refute your historical citations but isn't it kind of OUR FAULT, We The People, who failed in each of our respective States, to restrain the Federal government?
Absolutely. We the People lost our way. We forgot that we are supposed to take care of ourselves. So, instead of wanting the government to protect us, as in our founding, we allowed for the government to take care of us. Bad idea!
We allowed this madness to happen - in 1913 with the 16th and 17th Amendments and the Federal Reserve Act. People were outraged during the Giled Age and created the progressive movement where the big government will take care of the people.
And, then in the 1930s, the depression era big government made it worse, and then in the 1960s, it turbo charged the idea of big government with the War on Poverty, and so on...
But, what if we examined the big federal government and checked off what agencies protect us v. what agencies take care of us, get rid of the "taking care of us" agencies and let the rich fund charities again, instead of the government: https://lizlasorte.substack.com/p/let-the-rich-fund-charity-again?r=76q58
I’d say our public academic institutions over the past 30-40 years didn’t properly teach our nation’s children, specifically so most of those children grew up expecting that it’s normal and proper for the government to take a bigger role in taking care of us. We were given a much different assembly diagram for our bikes of freedom, and it’s missing both the pedals and the brakes.
Most people don’t understand that it’s our fault, and weren’t given the right kind of education to be able to recognize that. Are they really guilty or were they misled down the wrong road?
I hear you. When I was about 7 or so, my Dad used to tell me "ignorance is no excuse." That's how I was brought up. A bit extreme for a child, but it's really the truth. No excuses.
That said, I graduated from Univ. of DE in 1989 with enough credits to be a history minor (and I was too ignorant to do the papework, thus I'm just an English major). But my point is, is that I took so much American history - because I loved it - but here's the real kicker: with all that early American history, I never learned about our founder Robert Yates (Brutus) - until not that long ago when reading the Anti-Federalist Papers out of curiosity.
Thing is - Brutus warned us of all the corruption we know today. But he got vaporized down the memory hole as an "Anti-Federalist."
Brutus was right about everything: https://lizlasorte.substack.com/p/brutus-was-right-about-everything?r=76q58
Thanks for this post Liz. I've not heard of Robert Yates. Interesting that he disagreed with what they were doing at the Convention of 1787. That's my fears for the push for the Article V Convention. They will overstep their bounds and put in a worse Constitution.
Agreed. I used to think it was a good idea - but we have a socialist/commie running NYC!!!
Now, I think we should work on dismantling the federal government agencies that take care of us, and leave taking care of people to the states to deal with - if the people want that.
The government that gives us everything is the government that can take it all away.
But that's a big lift - ending SS and Medicare, Medicaid and all that.
Interesting! Thanks Liz.
Yes, it is interesting! They say history is written by the victors and that's certainly true in our history.
Either way, we have a huge challenge.
You are correct up to the point you say ".... we weren't given ....".
I'll have to re-read my history (really, not being snarky...as much as I LOVE that) but I don't think the People created the progressive movement.
I like all the comments here about how America used to be, how we used to be more rooted in the Constitution and individual responsibility. However, to give our parent's generation a little slack, just a little, those pushing communism (let's not call it progressivism, leftism, whateverism...call it what it is) were and are deeply misguided. Deeply as in suicidally misguided.
And our parents did not push back on that. But to be fair, neither are we! The entire Dem Party is captive to that evil. Mamdummy is a lot of things, but above all else I suspect he is a "good Muslim". Meaning that his deepest desire is to see all of us dead! Sure, converted would be ok too, but in the dark heart of the Islamists, they want murder more than converts. I don't know their hearts...I'm just judging by their actions.
Our founders tried to make the constituion rock solid, but in 1913, 3/4 of the states voted for the 16th Amendment (income tax = big government), 17th Amendment (so dumbheads like Kamala Harris could not be a senator) but worst of all, perhaps is that Congress voted for the Federal Reserve Act that created the banking cartel we know today.
And, the Progressive era followed the Gilded Age. Why is that?
All of the comments and observations in this thread are part of the truth. As Biblical history illustrates, the underlying truth to this whole thread is that civil government always ends up becoming the enemy of the people. Why? Because as Richard Maybury said, "Power corrupts the morals and the judgement." The political earthquake that fractured the constitutional bedrock of our former republic was the Lincoln war of 1861 which was subsequently lionized by the Lincoln Memorial temple of worship, the greatest war president in American history. From that point forward, the USG has forever been on a quest for more and more centralized power over the people. And the rest is history, albiet aided and abetted by the centuries old British banking empire who twice failed to conquer by force the rebellious Americans in 1775 and 1812.
Yes, we expected them to represent us but they raped, pillaged and burned us instead. And they irreconcilably divided us, intentionally. And they built election theft into our election system, making it a s_election system allowing them to stay in power forever.
Yes, but in America ‘they’ is ‘us’. Anyone can get involved and have an impact in our political system.
I’m not suggesting it’s remotely easy for citizens to retain our liberty and individual power and rights but it’s not impossible.
The military complex is real and it will use whatever construct it needs to, to accomplish its mission of war, even if that means bypassing the constitution of the founding fathers: https://unorthodoxy.substack.com/p/stop-calling-it-the-iran-war-start
Bullshit. In previous corrupt "administrations", I'd wholeheartedly agree but not with Trump, who has rebuilt the American military to protect the country, maintain our sovereignty (unlike the last 5 or 6 corrupt "presidents) and when necessary conduct operations (like Venezuela and Iran) to rid us of those who cause chaos around the world. He is not "bypassing the Constitution, that is a ridiculous statement to make given the War Powers Act gives him the authority to act, was passed by Congress and not struck down by the SCOTUS. It is active law, previously used by every president.

So glad to see a woman posting about Plato and Aristotle and your summation in paragraph 2!
I was recently informed that at least one university refuses to teach Plato because of his views on women. This is like refusing water in the desert because one finds the vessel blemished. Karl Popper's view of Plato in his seminal book The Open Society and Its Enemies distorted Plato's views to a ridiculous level. Unfortunately, Popper's belief that destroying nation states would liberate "men" has been the inverse.
Nothing hard about it, Democrats can only win via vote fraud, the SAVE Act will curtail that severely, thus a No vote. Simple. They are scum.
Corporations began as extensions of royal power, with military, not democratic, hierarchies. Are they actually constitutional or threats to the sovereignty of the Republic? Capitalism can exist without them, but ESG isn’t a solution. Is individual accountability, which is veiled by the corporate mantle, what capitalism needs to be responsible instead of plundering?
They are voting against it because they get voted in by illegal and dead voters.
It is not that hard. They are opposed to give PDJT a win. They want to lose so PDJT will be impeachable and impotent.
Excellent comment.

Jeff interview has been released for Mike Rowe’s podcast this morning… nice surprise when I checked Spotify earlier. Nice birthday gift, Jeff! Hope you have a great day!
Happy birthday, Jeff! Looking forward to the interview 💕
I’ve listened to the first half, it’s over 2 hours. I’ve learned some things. 👀
Happy birthday! Thank you for keeping us sane. It’s a great life mission.
Got a link Valerie?
https://open.spotify.com/episode/16n2QNiA9k62YUiYB6Ah3i?si=5d6b31b8c0c543c4
Ooh I’m all giddy. I don’t use Spotify for podcasts ever, but I have the app on my iPhone logged into my younger son’s account for days we want music by the pool. Imagine my squeal when I clicked on the link and it opened right up, and it’s playable!
Oh dear, as if I need ANOTHER outlet to take me down more rabbit holes. I believe this opens Pandora’s box and I’ll be surfing other podcasts on Spotify now 😆
Juju, just listen to him on your iphone podcast app, no need for spotify.
I don’t need a subscription or anything for that? I thought it was like their books app where most things were behind a paywall …
You don't need a subscription for spotify either. I use it for music and it's awesome. It even makes playlists for you from your music saved in your library. Free.
Podcasts are generally free. At least the ones I listen to.
Thanks!
https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/474-jeff-childers-coffee-covid/id1087110764?i=1000754438418
Thanks. Just finished listening. Great interview.
I’m 1 hour 20 mins in, I still have 52 mins left. It’s soooo good. Makes me love him all the more. It also makes sense now why so many new people are here trying to dismantle the core of C&C and their influence.
Thank you Janice for the Apple Podcasts link!! I don’t have Spotify and didn’t really want to get it.
Me neither.
It wasn't that long ago that I had to ask what Spotify was. 🤣
Thanks!
Thank you for this link Janice. 🙂
I didn’t put one because people listen on different apps, but Mike Rowe’s podcast is called ‘The Way I Heard it’. They probably all work if you search by his name, too.
Valerie - did you listen to Mike Rowe's interview of Del Bigtree from a few weeks ago?
https://rumble.com/v732648-what-del-bigtree-did-after-doctors-withheld-vaccine-study-results-462-the-w.html?e9s=src_v1_s%2Csrc_v1_s_o&sci=55ba16ab-8e45-41e0-9cce-c66acfcecfeb
They talked about Del's film, An Inconvenient Study and Mike's comment has been included in Del's promotion of it:
"It's the smoking gun you knew was out there." Mike Rowe
So clearly, Mike is now an ex-vaxxer like me. Mike also got the Covid shots.
He did another great interview with Gavin de Becker:
https://rumble.com/v716hfe-you-wont-believe-whats-really-in-vaccines-gavin-de-becker-456-the-way-i-hea.html?e9s=src_v1_s%2Csrc_v1_s_o&sci=55ba16ab-8e45-41e0-9cce-c66acfcecfeb
I highly recommend that interview with Gavin as well and also Gavin's book, Forbidden Facts.
I started that one but I don’t think I finished, sometimes I have to stop to do something and forget to go back and finish. I’ll go back to that one. I LOVE Gavin de Becker. Definitely listened to that one and gave his book ‘The Gift of Fear’ to my daughter and DIL.
Not on YouTube yet but is on Apple Podcast
I just downloaded on Apple Podcast so I can listen while driving through no-cell zones today.
03/10/26: Happy Birthday, Jeff --- and me!
My birthday present to you (all of you): Comedy …
“In Sioux Falls, S.D. … North Dakota State … punched its NCAA Tournament ticket with a 700-62 victory over North Dakota” (NYP Sports 03/09/26 3CW).
North Dakota’s defense next year will be even better.
(Typo. NDS won 70-62.)
😂😂
And a BIG welcome to Mike Rowe, if he did indeed subscribe!!! We also enjoy Mike Rowe's podcasts and videos!
Does anyone else wonder if he’s a commenter here, and what his handle might be? 🤯
Does make you wonder.....
Can't wait!!!
Thanks for the heads up, Valerie! Happy Birthday 🎉!

And without becoming weak in faith he [Abraham] contemplated his own body, now as good as dead since he was about a hundred years old, and the deadness of Sarah’s womb; yet, with respect to the promise of God, he did not waver in unbelief but grew strong in faith, giving glory to God, and being fully assured that what God had promised, He was able also to do. Therefore it was also counted to him as righteousness. Now not for his sake only was it written that it was counted to him, but for our sake also, to whom it will be counted, as those who believe upon Him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead, He who was delivered over on account of our transgressions, and was raised on account of our justification.
— Romans 4:19-25 LSB
✝️✝️✝️
Abraham:
*Did not waver
*Grew strong in faith
*Gave glory to God
*Believed God was able to fulfill His promises
Jesus:
*Delivered over for our transgressions
*Raised for our justification
Im wondering why there is a shift now in who is precluded from voting from “people of color” & raaaaacism to women…by the party that LOVES to humiliate & disenfranchise women, not only by being unable to define one, but by allowing men in women’s sports & spaces.
Maybe it’s because of Democrats’ most recent blunders while speaking to black audiences - Gavin Newsom, and most recently Joe Biden at Jessie Jackson’s funeral. Time to steer the ship in another direction.
It is interesting single-digit IQ Mazie Hirono was apparently the first to put out a PSA on the subject.
Mazie is trying to get attention so she can run for President in 2028. She realizes she will be considered too old to run in 2032.
Lord help us
She’s probably dumber than Kneepads Harris, if that’s possible. Maybe that will be the ticket!
03/10/26: Never mind Iran. Gear up the Pentagon for "Operation Stash Her Away In The Funny Farm."
That’s a joke, right?
Did you laugh, I hope?
Er, yes if that was directed at me, FH.
It wasn’t, it was to Crash about Hirono.
Because AWFLs are pretty much their biggest voting block at this point.
I was musing this morning about the irony that the ones screaming loudest about “the patriarchy” are also the ones making people think that women are too irrational and emotionally driven to be allowed to vote and making an argument for the return of the patriarchal system 😑
Did you see that commercial that came out right before the 2024 elections about how women who supported Kamala were in danger from their husbands and had to keep their vote secret, but Kamala saw them and was encouraging them to be strong?
I thought I was going to bust a lung laughing at the ad, because in what effin' universe has an AWFL EVER had an issue having to keep her political beliefs on the downlow? In fact, it's 100% the opposite every single time - liberal women are so nasty about it that it's easier to stay silent around them then risk her wrath for speaking up. And they wonder why we overwhelmingly voted for toxic masculinity in 2024. 🤣
You can also bust a lung that any competent, confident woman would give a shit about what their husband thinks of their vote! And that goes for either side of the aisle
😆 Well it’s not the first time they’ve presented hysterical “arguments” that make no sense 😛 🙄
Nailed it!
But, but , but.....What about the poor trans woman who shows up to vote, and because her driver's license indicates that she is a man but her dress, high heels, make-up, and hair CLEARLY indicates that she is a WOMAN, her right to vote might be infringed upon!
Good. Mentally ill people should not vote.
As Michael Savage noted years ago, "Liberalism is a mental disorder."
Don't threaten me with a good time.
I don't think transvestites would be blocked from voting 🤔
She can't be speaking of democrats because they are neither women nor do they get married 😂
They are a hybrid man/woman species that, thankfully, has no desire to procreate. They authored their own extinction.
Birthday Blessings all day long to you Jeff Childers. The C&C family love , trust & appreciate you Most especially these days ♥️🤍💙
I so affirm this. “Post is a little shorter today.” Jeff, some people take their birthdays off. Don’t burn yourself out. Yes, we all look for your wisdom daily, but we wish you health and strength for this task every day, so please feel free to REST once in awhile. I wish you many more happy birthdays, friend.
Love your comment here Sissy.
Happy birthday Jeff!
Concur!!🎉
You know, if you are dumb enough not to be able to fill out paperwork for a name change maybe you shouldn’t vote.
I loathe these politicians.
Some 40+ years ago, without internet mind you, I was a green 20-year-old when I got married. I was somehow able to figure out how to change my name on my drivers license and social security card. I even managed to change my name at college so that my diploma has my married name too. I didn’t realize I was such a genius — and without even a YouTube video or Google to show me how! 🤓👰♀️
🤣😆😁
Exactly.
I absolutely kept track of and know where our marriage certificate is. Easy to copy and use whenever necessary. It's not hard.
Same
Same!
: )
Well said! ROTFLOL!!!!
Hard to believe there are still open court cases concerning "comply or starve" forced vaccination protocols, i.e., forced medical procedures. See also: forced bodily intrusions. Nevermind that these wonder shots can maim or kill you. How much more evidence needs to be brought to the table? This has to be settled in court?! Truly mind boggling. I shake my head in utter disbelief. The covid/vaxx perps sure knew what they were doing. Played us like a knock-off Stradavarius.
How about this: “Good morning everyone. For the good of the company, there's been a new set of protocols put in place, one of which is all female employees must sleep with the boss. Those with ideological or religious “complications” will be escorted off property. Refusal will result in your immediate termination.” Well, that would just be ridiculous.

Yeah, I saw that. Not in the least bit surprising. I doubt it'll ever hit mainstream.
We personally know a minor league player who was forced out even though they had slated him to be moving up. We know because we were his host home. But he refused the jab. Along with 3 others and lo and behold all 3 of them got let go the same exact day. I text him the other day about this law suit and told him he should get a civil suit started with the other minor leaguers who got discriminated against and had their dream of playing major league stolen from them. There’s a lot of them.
In 2021 we also hosted a college player in the summer Valley League, who along with all of the others were doing extra to try and get a shot at the Bigs. He also was not jabbed, and had to test every week. He was smart enough to never get jabbed, but ended up with Tommy John surgery. None of his family jabbed. . He was able to talk his girlfriend at the time into not getting the jab, but her family considered her a pariah. Don't think he ever got drafted, but we stay in touch. Very religious, and quite a family. His father or his grandfather are in Haiti 365 running the huge warehouse food bank they founded, even when TSHTF. He said the Haitians absolutely despise the Clintons.
Oh yes!! He definitely should!! Maybe Jeff can recommend an attorney?
I forgot to mention I sent this article to him
I saw that too!
And I wonder, where is Dr. Mengele, I mean Fauci, lately?
Fauci is in the box with Schrödinger’s cat.
If only.
Wowing them on tour with more - not in the least bit suspicious - spot on predictions.

yes
Not "termination"; "indefinite suspension without pay"... 😁
my bad. 😁
The push continues in medicine, students are required to get the COVID shots for clinical rotations. All the "systems" still continually push COVID boosters. Stupid security theater type masking protocols.
clearly a violation of the Nuremberg protocols and the government's own rules about "experimental" medications - should be a slam dunk for the plaintiffs and I hope the punitive award is staggering to United and a lesson to every other business
Yeah…we've all witnessed plenty of slam dunk moments that bounced unceremoniously off the rim. This place is a lunatic asylum. Fauci, Gates et al still making the rounds sailing off the wake of their most recent contrived maim and murder spree.
I used a similar analogy when people would make the stupid argument about forced mask wearing, saying that private businesses “can do what they want.” No, they can’t. There are many limits to what private businesses are allowed to do. Forcing customers or employees to submit to a medical intervention (and no, masks are not “part of a dress code” as some people maintained 🙄 but a medical device) should not ever be within the rights of any private business or government office.
But, but, but…..everyone was asymptomatic. 🙄 The biggest line of horse doo-doo of modern times.
Right?? Especially since with coronaviruses as far as I know, the most effective way of making it spread is through the symptoms (coughing or sneezing).
Exactly.
Or, pregnancy and child rearing interferes with your commitment to the workplace. Mandatory sterilization for all.
Explain to me the difference. I'll wait.
At this stage of the game I'm giving up on trying to make sense of anything that's out of my control. It's a sure path to insanity.
With Trumps beautiful vaccine which killed, I mean, "saved millions".
One of the few "constants" I've been able to identify behind all the drama on the political stage is the fact that every aspect of the Depopulation Agenda is still operational and unimpeded by the Trump regime. The crowning piece of this Agenda is the military's slow-kill bio-weapon injection that is STILL supported by Trump.
A great big beautiful uniparty.
That is another "constant" that never seems to go away thanks in large part to the RINOs, ie, Republican NeoCons who are sold out to the MIC.
It's interesting to behold. Some topics - immigration, for example - are easily distinguishable, but so many other massively important topics get drawn out or totally pushed aside by both sides. I use “both” in the loosest of terms.
The 4D chess player was "fooled" - didn't you know?
Controlled by the Illuminati.

“Yesterday, midwit Democrat Senator Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii) posted a selfie arguing against the SAVE America Act that was so ridiculous and moronic that I briefly lost confidence in our constitutional system of government itself. Her argument —and I wish I were making this up— was that married women won’t be able to navigate an ID requirement to vote.”
One google search reveals how “complicated” it is for married women to get the “required documents” needed to register to vote.
Show up in person to the vital records dept.
Send in a request via USPS.
Order on line.
Cost? $1.25
It’s. So. Hard.
I called the county clerk’s office, an hour from where I live now, and requested copy of my first marriage certificate (from 49 years ago). It cost $16.50 to have them certify and mail to me the same day. It was so hard!!
03/10/26: What's the definition of an "optimist"?
Someone who goes down to City Hall once a year to see if his marriage license has expired.
Well when you are as retarded as Mazie ( IQ 10’points under a Somalian) it’s extremely difficult. It’s even taxing to wipe after the bathroom.
Hawaiian politics drive me absolutely crazy.
It's the leftist of the Left Coast!
With the Third World thrown in.
Hawaii is heavily influenced by Chinese psyops. Like the Borg, China's long term goal (and that's the only way they think) is to simply assimilate Hawaii as the population is displaced by Chinese immigrants.
And think about all the poor POC folks who are unable to get to the DMV office because it's just too hard....
Or who don’t know how to use the internet or have data limits on their cell phone if they even own one 😑
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3JGmKHrWKMQ
I've seen that, but had to watch it again. 😆
I never get tired of it! 😆😁 I’ve watched it several times since I first discovered this clip, and it just doesn’t get old 😁
Any woman who got herself an official ID with her married name on it already went through this "I am who I was and here's who I am" exercise to get that ID in the first place. If you're lucky, you put those documents someplace safe to use whenever you needed multiple points of identification for a driver's license or a passport or a job or whatever, in which case you already have what you need. If not, you got it once, you can get it again.
My birth certificate and my marriage license has always been locked in a fire-proof safe with our auto titles, home title, mortgage docs, etc.
If it’s that complicated, then clearly Hirono is in a job that is way beyond her capabilities. She should immediately resign before she hurts herself and others.
Also if a man happens to change his name for whatever reason, wouldn’t he have to go through the same steps?
Yep. But name changes are a little more difficult. A marriage just requires a marriage certificate. Legal name changes are a little more Complex. My husband legally changed his name years ago. And we did have to jump through some hoops in order to get him a passport lol. But surprise surprise. He has a passport.
God bless those United Airlines employees, I hope they successfully sue UA into oblivion. But either way it's heartening (pun intended), to know that over 2000 professionals were smart enough to save their lives, and ultimately their livelihoods by refusing the myocarditis cancerous death juice, so win or loose they actually won. If I had an airline I'd be recruiting those folks hard...
I was put through a similar ordeal in the summer of 21 when I was forced to get an RA or face termination. The company I worked for gave me accommodations for 90 days at a time (illegal); wouldn't let me in a room with more than 3 other employees (why not 2 or 4?); wouldn't let me see customers (I did anyway). They ended up cancelling the vax requirement in Apr 2022. People here also got fired for not getting vaxxed. One woman was pregnant at the time and her doctor said to wait until she gave birth. The company didn't care and fired her anyway.
Similarly, I worked for the US Forest Service, upon the 2021 mandate requested a RA which was NEVER processed or even looked at, fought it and joined the lawsuit by Feds for Medical Freedom which got the federal injunction in 2022, filed an EEO which was dismissed by the USDA/FS after which I retired to end the nonstop intimidation and harassment which they had no intention of stopping, but formally filed with EEOC which is still pending now 5 years later but still being requested to dismiss by the CURRENT USDA/FS as of 2025, also was required to mask and test per the retribution and coercion at the time... I fully expect the EEOC to eventually dismiss the case per their track record, and there was not enough USDA employees willing to join and pay for a class action to seek justice... Bitter moral and otherwise injuries after 35 years of firefighting protecting people and property, but I'm alive today and my principles remain intact so thank God for that.
Wow. I hoped someone would have started a class action, but reading this it probably would have ended the same way. I retired in Jul 22; but not before taking my 6 week sabbatical at the end.
Just think what would have happened if even 40-50% of their employees would have refused. That happened to Smuckers with their floor workers in their plant. They quickly reversed the mandate, but stood firm on the mandate office worker - most of whom were working from home! And some were fired for it including their private pilot and mechanic.
I read that the unjabbed United employees were prevented from accessing their retirement accounts to help them survive during the covid punishment.
Don’t feed the trolls.
I have no idea who you are (hiding behind a stupid avatar) or why you made that comment.
You could have easily done a simple search to find this statement from Fox Business:
"Unvaccinated United Airlines employees who were placed on unpaid leave due to the company’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate reported being restricted from accessing certain company benefits, including their 401(k) retirement accounts, according to legal complaints and testimony from employees."
My apologies Kathleen - that post was in total error it wasn’t supposed to even be a reply - I tried to correct it but big thumb hit the post button. I spent a lot of time trying to find it to delete it, in all sorts of ways, obviously unsuccessfully.
You are most definitely not a troll!!!
I am frustrated by some newer commenters who constantly post assertions with no receipts, always implying that this commenting community is somehow not informed with “real information.” I am inclined to think those commenters are not in good faith, IOW, planted to rile things up. Gotta remember the information war.
Again, please forgive my big thumb!
Less likely to have a spontaneous cardiac event.
Indeed. They would be the healthiest employees to have
Cannot wait for discovery. United played seriously dirty. Like the way they sent POSTCARDS to be sure the spouse, who might not realize their pilot / flight attendant spouse was trying to avoid the jab. Some spouses read the postcards and pressured to stop the solidarity with other employees and just get the damnjab. It worked in some cases. Wonder how many of those pressuring spouses are now widows.
Honestly, I hope they take all United’s money and put them out of business. Elon will buy the planes and make a better company
John Thune is spineless. Except when it comes to being against doing the right thing, then he has a stubborn spine.
These senatewhores are so worthless. Even the ones who want to do the right thing don’t want to depose the very jerk that stands in the way of them doing the right thing.
He is disgusting and worthless. He certainly doesn't represent his constituents. Way too many in the Senate who believe they are the sole arbiter of policy, the people be damned.
I wonder how much his bank account(s) increased!
You know who else is disgusting and worthless? The Epstein criminal cabal who still walk freely.
I've said here before that I'd been calling, emailing, and bugging as much as possible about the SAVE Act.
No one in his office picks up the phone. No one is checking the answering machine. No one is calling or emailing back.
And then I see that he is labeling someone like me as a "paid influencer" for wanting to protect my vote by making sure it isn't offset by manufactured votes?
I'm cranky. I'll just leave it at that.
Pretty much every DC so called representative office is the same. IF the phone is even answered by a person, it’s a low level minion who likely ash cans the message. They don’t care about you for the 21 Months or the five years 9 months of the time. They only “care” the few months before an election and even then they don’t really “care”.
That's one of my big worries about all of these MAGA candidates winning their primaries; I support them, but I also pray that they don't become the swamp creatures they're running to fight.
I’m cranky right there with you, about this!!
I remember the push for him as senate leader against … who was it, Rick Scott? And most of MAGA wanted Scott and were furious when the establishment ignored us and delegated Thune to that role. We need to dish out some “I told ya so” noogies.
Me giggling at the mental image of all of those Congress critters getting noogies 🤣😂
Apparently it used to be that senators can be recalled by their states. I would like to see this return.
While there is reasonable suspicion that Thune is still alive, it is not as certain that he and most of his colleagues in the Senate are represented by something other than cardboard cutouts.
Call his office and pester them. Tell him you're not a paid influencer.
Also…I think Thune is angry that X has so much power, and reveals the truth of things. They can’t control the narrative anymore and it infuriates him because he doesn’t know how to navigate truthful waters where sunlight hits everything.
🎯
He is many things but spinless is not one of them. He simply represents someone other than the people who voted him into office.
Dear Jeff Childers, my favorite birthday greeting, given to me by my best friend years ago:
Happy Stinkin’ Birthday!!! 🤩
THANK YOU SO MUCH for writing such excellent posts to encourage and enlighten all of us. We love you!!!
☝️This…
Ditto!!!
Not sure why this was not covered. FBI seizes ballots in Maricopa County. Over 200K ballots with signature mismatch. Out of state ballots. Blank ballots mixed with filled out ballots. Hey, but other than that, probably the most secure election ever.
https://justthenews.com/politics-policy/elections/monfbi-secretly-seizes-election-records-arizonas-largest-county-voting
Kari Lake won twice !
I would LOVE to see Hobbs in handcuffs. And behind bars.
I wonder why they waited so long to do this?
By the time they get the investigation completed, given likely lawfare against it... all the scumbags that got in via FRAUD will have completed their terms.
Our DOJ with corrupt, lying Kash, Blondi and Blanche is FUBAR. Wiles is as bad or worse. Trump seems to be slipping into dementia, his rants grow more goofy by the day. His war on Iran for Israel is a total mess, despite the ongoing propaganda.
Really Johnny? You think those of us on here watch television? lol
You expect to see that on the letter channels?
The letter channels you all listen to and believe for your war propaganda, yes those channels.
I'm sure you wouldn't find more than a tiny handful here watch network TV at all, much less their "news".
And please don't default to the "all old people watch the letters" trope; tisn't so.
Right?? I love the assumptions that are constantly being made 🙄
I’m sure you get your information straight from the Almighty, Zero. That’s why you’re so damn smart😂🤣😂🤣😂
Surprised you showed up today since there wasn’t anything in Jeff’s post to dump on Trump about. Good for you going the extra mile; above and beyond the call of duty or doody.
Too groggy to notice peanut butter pie? Suggest you proceed directly to the nearest Urgent Care. STAT!
03/10/26: As of this date, we have broken 13 forks, 10 knives, and a chainsaw belt on that dang stuff. But what beautiful stucco it makes!
Don, Don, Don…. Your cook is your problem. Properly prepared, as Mrs. Childers’ version certainly is, the end-result will be as fluffy as a goose down pillow, as light as the air in Mazie Hirono's head, and as rich as a four-term congressman.
—“as fluffy as a goose down pillow, as light as the air in Mazie Hirono's head, and as rich as a four-term congressman.”
👏👏👏
Those similes rival Jeff’s!! 🤩😁
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’ve never heard of peanut butter pie. Sounds good though.
Recipe ingredients example (one of many variants):
▢12 ounces cream cheese, softened
▢1 1/4 cups creamy peanut butter
▢1 1/4 cups powdered sugar
▢1 1/4 cups heavy whipping cream
▢1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
▢Topping Ideas: mini Reese’s peanut butter cups, chocolate and peanut butter chips
▢Oreo Crust:
▢30 Oreo cookies
▢6 Tablespoons butter, melted
Yep that’s the recipe I use
I think it's a southern thing
Is that what I’ve been eating on my spoon? My pie comes in a jar
Oh, it is delicious!
The loyal commentariat awaits a recipe. I suspect there is some knowledge here.
I have a great recipe if interested
Happy birthday Jeff! Thanks for sharing your day with us with your wonderful blog…Coffee and Covid! 🎂
The SAVE Act is one thing our current crop of RINOs can't abide - common sense. Not only is it perfectly constitutional, not only is it the runaway favorite of all the people, it fortifies the backbone of the republic - that one man (person) has one vote, and by that power the republic is governed.
John Thune is still beholden to the donors, lobbyists, and power mongers that infest politics today. The only improvement made by replacing the Murder Turtle with Thune was that he probably wouldn't stroke out or fall on a weekly basis.
Thune has been there a long time. Too slick by half. I almost miss Cocaine Mitch.
Remember. We have him to thank for blocking that bloodless Reichsminister Merrick Garland.
My first husband died and 6 years later, I got married again. According to Hirono, does that make me twice as stupid? WHAT kind of people does this woman represent? Who voted for this idiot?
I think the island culture of niceness towards their elders is keeping her there. Our maybe threats to anybody who runs, because I'm sure she is VERY controllable, and that's how people pulling the strings want their representatives.
🤣
