Iran's new 'Supreme Leader' is the old one's son; IRGC makes political blunder; Lloyd's of London just blinked; and Trump is now holding all legislation hostage for voter ID; plus much more.
Yes Childers connects so many dots his posts have become Rohrshak tests. Every single thing in Iran was planned, plotted, calculated, prayed over, and executed to an accuracy of a light-element's atomic radius. I'm thinking nothing larger than hydrogen or helium here. Nothing went wrong, is going wrong, or will ever go wrong. Now all we have to do is send enough canon fodder in to subdue 92 million people. And no chance whatsoever that anyone else will get involved, so we're all safe here. Joe Biden himself told me, just the other day,, that none of the 20 million invaders he brought in is an Iranian terrorist, so we're completely safe. I hear the Iranians are throwing rose petals at the missiles, to thank Trump and Bibi for killing them and destroying their country.
I can't wait until the midterms. America loves wars. Like our buddies the Chinese said last week, we're addicted to war. $40 trillion national debt and counting.
Honestly, 71 years old and have seen this same crap 6-7 times before. It's always, always, always "different this time" yet it always turns out the same, namely very badly for us. We allegedly destroyed their nuke capability last summer, according to the exaggerator-in-chief. Iran must have some amazing engineers to rebuild so quickly.
So, Mr. Trump, why not just a few more bunker-busters?
My current default position on just about everything is disbelief. Everyone is lying to us, almost all the time. I wish I understood this 50 years ago but whatever. Pay attention: When I say EVERYBODY I mean EVERY-fucking-BODY. EVERYONE.
I'm not accusing Jeff, but he's a lawyer and like us a Trump fan, so he uses his considerable skills in twisting and tweaking facts to fit today's to-do list. If Trump has a sex change operation it will be "4D chess to fool the democrats": if he shits himself tonight it will be to "ward off the Curse of the Manky Ayatollah."
Another point, regarding the extra special post: The more complicated an explanation, the more likely it's BS.
Joining the good dog pile to say “Thank you, Jeff” as well. You truly have a gift of taking complex topics and making them understandable. It can be overwhelming trying to parse all the complexity in our current timeline and see behind the noise generated to the truth. Your bonus post yesterday was a masterful lesson in how to do that. God bless you.
Sort of. 🤣 There were still a couple. They couldn’t see the forest through the trees.
I love that we could still read comments even if we couldn’t reply.
And THAT gave us some food for thought: several of the naysayers here (that like to criticize Jeff’s views (and ours,) while refusing to apply equal critique to the opposing views,) spread tunnel vision leftist talking points or anti-Israel slop in overdrive, (because some dialogue about Israel is understandable and thoughtful discussion should happen among us, but these people are off the deep end in deranged territory,) well I noticed many hold actual full priced subscriptions, and feign to “love you Jeff, but…”, yet none felt the urge to comment yesterday ? 🤔 That was catnip for them if ever any article was! Yet crickets. But then they go full speed in comments M-Sa. That tells me intent. Except for a couple, they are too scared to tread the loyal waters of paid subscribers, and they know most of us can’t read those comments so why bother. It is as if their true aim is to pick off the weaker minded from the unpaid. A person true to their stance would have commented yesterday, but a deceptive one with ulterior motives would wait until today. Bad faith readers and subscribers. Not paid opposition, but paying opposition …
I've been here since the blog started when Jeff was the only ray of hope in a world gone mad. Disagreeing with a war started for a foreign country that sees us as cattle and spits on Christians is not being a "bot" or a "hater". It's difficult to confront the reality that the man we elected has in many ways betrayed us, but running from it will only make the reckoning that much more difficult. He campaigned on literally the exact opposite. He said it was the sick neocons who would start a war with Iran. Now his foreign policy may as well be carried out by Lindsay Graham. He campaigned on bringing justice to the Epstein class and now calls it a hoax and says we need to move on. His DOJ refuses to even investigate anyone. We're being outdone by the UK of all places. The place that arrests people for flying their country's own flag has made more Epstein arrests than us. It's okay to be optimistic, but we have to at least be realistic. The first six months felt like nothing but wins, since then it's felt like nothing but losses. Can you all at least acknowledge we have a lot of real complaints with how things are going?
Given some of your blanket statements that have long since been ironed out and you haven’t noticed, I can acknowledge that you have very shallow views that refuse to look wider and deeper behind his decisions. That you also refuse to acknowledge there are other perspectives that disprove yours, and they are just as equally viable. That you refuse to critique and criticize views like your own, like the left, AND our actual enemies in equal fashion, failing to put that same distrust and skepticism into their analyses as you do ours. Who blindly believes their reporting and perspectives then accuses us of blind faith. That impatience is at the root of your opinions. That lack of appreciation for our extremely corrupt judiciary and what this administration faces because of that escapes you. That undermining the base’s confidence seems to be the only reason. No, I can’t acknowledge you have very real complaints because you don’t listen, and appear to want to pull people only in one direction and criticize those who call you out on it as not allowing dissenting opinions.
We certainly do. Just not the way you guys like to do it. You forget that truth always rises to the surface in free speech communities, and that includes true intentions.
My man, you have not addressed a single thing I've actually said in substance, you yourself are the one making a giant blanket statement here. Who is blindly believing anything? What are you talking about? I don't listen to what? You haven't actually addressed anything I've said. You just say it's all fake and it's all leftwing talking points. You don't think the lack of arrests is a real complaint? You don't think criticizing this war is a real complaint? Who am I blindly trusting? What are my intentions? Did Trump campaign on going to war with Iran? Did he campaign on calling the files a hoax? You can contend that he has grand plan we're not privy to, but there's literally 0 proof for any of it. The skeptics are crazy for simply taking Trump at his word when he calls it a hoax and says we need to move on? Undermining the base's confidence? My dude I voted for this guy THREE TIMES! I cannot even begin to explain how much mental energy I have put in for the last decade defending him. I have lost friends over it. And for what?
It's you who is making blanket statements, simply refusing to believe that any criticism can be real and that we're all malevolent actors with nefarious intent. Meanwhile, you cannot address a single thing I've said.
Having just noted the bit about the foreign country that ‘sees us as cattle and spits on Christians’ and noting that you don’t even have the courage to say Israel, as you accuse with such nasty slander; yeah, I see you.
This is the last I have to say. I completely agree with Cousin Joe Dan from Intellectual Froglegs.
“I'm not arguing with a member of the Anti-Jew mob. I'll just say the opinion of people who possess a hatred for an entire race of people means very little to me. Whether it's Jews, blacks, Mexican, Japanese... don't matter.
Similar to TDS. The fact that we're just beginning the second of Trump's 4 year term just shows how irrational and ignorant you are.
And actually I'm a damn proud zionist... Because I 1000% believe Israel has a right to exist in their homeland. But it's typical of you guys to barge in with your pre-rehearsed hostile comments rather than attempt at discussion.”
Only read your first sentence and thought “I don’t have to address a single thing you argued because Jeff already has, every day! You’re just not listening. I won’t play these games of trying to make all of us re-explain things he JUST explained. 🙄”
“I don't listen to what?” Jeff’s reasoned and well researched analyses.
“You don't think the lack of arrests is a real complaint?” No
“You don't think criticizing this war is a real complaint?” Not while our troops are engaged
“Who am I blindly trusting?” Whoever you’re listening to. I think you just commented again and listed a few 🤣
“What are my intentions?” To divide. Certainly not to stand together and support our president as he tries to save this country.
“Did Trump campaign on going to war with Iran?” Yes, at every rally he said he would NOT hesitate to bomb Iran if it were necessary but he would try everything he could to avoid it. He did.
“Did he campaign on calling the files a hoax?” The hoax was not the files but how the democrats were trying to USE the files. You’re stuck in faulty talking points.
“You can contend that he has grand plan we're not privy to, but there's literally 0 proof for any of it.” There’s a LOT of proof. Read Data Republicans deep dive analysis. Listen The Prometheus Action. It’s all there. People like you who seek to divide don’t want to hear any opposing viewpoint.
“The skeptics are crazy for simply taking Trump at his word when he calls it a hoax and says we need to move on?” Strawman
“Undermining the base's confidence?” Absolutely
“My dude I voted for this guy THREE TIMES!” Highly doubt it, but if you did you allowed yourself to be easily snowed and picked off by enemies that are dividing us from within with lies.
“I cannot even begin to explain how much mental energy I have put in for the last decade defending him. I have lost friends over it. And for what?” Bull***
“It's you who is making blanket statements, simply refusing to believe that any criticism can be real and that we're all malevolent actors with nefarious intent.” If it walks like a duck …
“Meanwhile, you cannot address a single thing I've said.” Jeff already did. Why do we have to repeat him? 🤔
Exactly my man, you are completely unable to actually defend your ideas. You refuse to actually address anything I've said, because you can't. "You won't blindly agree with Jeff so you're not worth talking to!" that is your argument. Bravo.
Is Alex Jones a leftist? Is Robert Barnes a leftist? Is Owen Schroyer a leftist? is MTG a leftist? Is Massie a leftist? Is everyone who disagrees with you and has even the most mildest criticism a secret leftist trying to undermine the base? Or is it more likely that maybe, just maybe, when the guy you elected starts doing the exact opposite of what he campaigned on, that there is going to be backlash?
Wow. 🤣🤣🤣 Some may be leftists and didn’t know it. Most though allowed an anti-Israel campaign to work on their minds and are ravenously dividing us from within.
There are many of us that don’t have the hours in the day to argue in detail what others already have. We read both sides thoughtfully, I’m an Alex Jones and Tucker fan, so I’ve listened to them the past three years almost daily. But I also listen to others in our party that disagree. I sit here and try to decide what is more sound and logical. I come to conclusions and picked a side.
You want me to explain wHy. I don’t have to. I don’t get paid to sit at a computer all day and articulate perspectives in hyper-detailed ways to overcome your surfacey, narrative that you chose to believe. Other people already have, and quite well. I choose to point to their arguments. Jeff is one of them.
Just because I choose to not repeat their very detailed analyses in comments to you does NOT mean I have blind faith, and you don’t. It’s odd that you judge the amount of effort each of us put into arguing with you as proof of anything.
I read and listened to both sides. I disagree with you, vehemently! I’m not seeking to peel you away from your delusions, so I don’t need to argue any of it. If you want sound arguments to support my beliefs, read Coffee & Covid. Doh!
MC ... this as to Jones, Barnes et alia needed being said. But I fear it is the old case of 'in one ear and out the other' as to the one it was directed towards. Some people just think that they are geniuses but are in fact so far out of their depth as to be the three blind mice all rolled into one.
This Iran thing works on multiple levels with the levels being interactive both short terms and longer term. It is so complex that simple comments, two headed either/or commenting is just out of the question as to doing the situation justice.
@MC(Jew hater)The sowing of doubt and discord seems to be your aim. Are you an honest player or an agitator? How do we know how long you’ve been here or why you’re here?
This is the internet. Anyone can claim anything. Did you vote for Trump 2 or 3 times, but never will again?
I couldn’t be more pleased with President Trump myself. I can wait for plans to fully develop and come to fruition.
Yes Jeff, so appreciated the post yesterday! I wish you had tiered subscription options, your paid options are beyond my budget. I’ve sent gifts a few times, but would be totally open to subscribing if you had other options.
Yes, Terri, I agree! I am so very thankful I have the privilege of reading C & C Monday through Saturday. That is a gracious and generous gift from Jeff to all of us here in the C & C family. I am not able to afford the monthly fee either, yet know full well that a "workman is worthy of his hire", and what Jeff provides for us is far more valuable than any monthly subscription fee could ever cover. Thank you, Jeff!
To add to the helpful post yesterday, here is a link to Data Republican’s recent analysis, which dropped last night and looks to concur. She dug deep, very deep into the data. It’s long and very detailed, but worth your time when you have it:
Now I want to spend the rest of my life loving one woman, building a faithful marriage, raising a strong and beautiful family, praying for people who hate me, forgiving when it’s hard, staying far away from gossip and bitterness, and finding my peace in Jesus.
If that’s brainwashing, I’m grateful for it." —Chad Logan
Thank you, Jayson, for always leading us to "The Cross" - where ALL humanity is equal...in its need for salvation through Yeshua's ultimate sacrificial death on Calvary Hill's cross!
Good words, TT. Catherine Austin Fitts says that’s refusing to “feed the tapeworm.” Staying alert in this world while keeping our eyes, minds, and hearts fixed on Jesus is a challenge. Praise God, we can do all things through Him. He strengthens us.
The Catholic Gospel reading for this week and the next 2 weeks of this Lenten season, focuses in on the transforming power of Christ.
Samaritan woman at well. From no faith to faith.
Healing of the blind. From no sight, to sight.
Lazerus. From death to life.
May we all be encouraged by our God. Nobody is too far gone. All are free to accept His gift of redemption. If anyone has slipped on something given up for Lent, don’t sweat it. Just try again. That is what our God is all about.
I wanted to thank Jeff for his brilliant post yesterday about what is REALLY happening in Iran, and how the hit on the refinery was not a mistake, but part of the plan. I also really enjoyed reading all the comments. Thanks Jeff.
Yes, it was an outstanding explanation. Everyone should understand that President Trump is fundamentally changing the world order in the most profound ways while also restoring America to it's Constitution and of, by and for the people. This is critical work that has been ignored for decades while the corrupt criminals in and out of government have stolen our country. IT IS NOT EASY and THERE is RISK involved! Would everyone prefer that we continue on the path of the death of the USA or LET THE MAN WORK??
LET THE MAN WORK and SUPPORT HIS EFFORTS 100%. The corrupt of the world are not just going to roll over and play dead, they are pushing back and they are pushing back hard. We need to have our President's back!
I'm quite surprised at the lack of nuance in these threads. Oil prices are skyrocketing, which is a disaster for global markets and economies. Insurance doesn't open the strait. The Iranians do. They have hit various refineries in the area as well. Those countries in the gulf are all largely dependent upon food imports as well, which also, are not getting in unless Iran lets them in. This is an utter disaster in the making.
They only nearly doubled in a week. This is just getting started.....and yeah, record high oil prices also coincided with 2008 crash. Our markets were already in trouble signaling a downturn before this idiotic war game commenced. Its all going to be grossly exacerbated due to this.
It doesn't matter where the school was located. It shows that whomever is pulling the trigger doesn't think twice about killing children. What kind of shitty intelligence is the US relying on if they can't tell the difference between a school and a military target? Stop justifying this horrible event. At a minimum, Hegseth should publicly admit the mistake and apologize about killing children. Is the US this callous? We know it is and it hurts to admit.
The US is no better than Israel. Let's not forget the flattening of Gaza happened with the help of the US. Draw your own conclusion. No matter who's in change, D or R, our government consists of insatiable warmongers.
"Yesterday, President Trump made the obvious point. If our soldiers are risking their lives in the Gulf, then the least Americans can do is tolerate a buck more on the price of gas for a few weeks."
Jeff, how about we don't put our soldiers in a situation where they have to risk their lives in yet another made-up conflict by our careless leaders? The media propaganda is working really hard parroting the "short-term pain" non-sense. Just stop, it's not working anymore.
I am reminded of (IIRCC) Golda Meir’s statement about the Middle East, ‘There will be peace in the Middle East when the Palestinians learn to love their children more than they hate the Israelis.’
Maybe the NYT can be trusted when they are able to love the USA more than they hate Donald Trump.
Well, you got me there. There is that Pulitzer Prize for that guy in the 1930s who covered for Stalin’s Holodomor in Ukraine. I had almost forgotten about that. They have always been an anti American commie rag.
I'd say the reverse is also true: ‘There will be peace in the Middle East when the Israelis learn to love their children more than they hate the Palestinians.’
How many Arabs (or any or no religion) live freely in Israel? (Palestinian used to be a term applied to Jews living in the British Mandate, only in the 1960’s with the Soviets backing Yassir Arafat was the term applied to Arabs unwilling to live peacefully in Israel.) Thus a term used to sow hate and division @ a time when the Soviets were using the Muslim Arab rejection of the 1948 partition.
I don’t know what your point is. The ‘Palestinians’ are inhabiting the exact location that the Philistines did. They call themselves ‘Philisti’ and have decided to serve the same demons as did the Philistine. Same demons as Islamists.
The Iranians are not Arabs either. They’re Persians.(did you even know that?) And yet, most are Islamists.

Dear Lord,
We believers bless you and thank you for carrying all our burdens upon your strong shoulders. The burden of our sin, the weight of our guilt, and the infinite debt we could not pay—all are lifted from our souls and borne by you. Thank you for delivering us from sin, guilt, and death. Thank you for wielding justice to your enemies. And thank you that through Christ’s blood, we are your enemies no longer.
He did teach love but he also had a lot to say about messing around and finding out.
Sometimes love looks like disciplining your kids, if for no other reason than to make them good, enjoyable citizens. Sometimes love looks like harming enemies so that the good guys can have a better life.
I'm trying to imagine the previous administration attempting to navigate through all this. I can almost hear high heeled pumps prancing around in the situation room combined with the reassuring sounds of quasi-male skirts rustling from the office fans, while an argument ensues about who forgot to bring the pink highlighters.
They wouldn’t be navigating this because this wouldn’t be happening at all…Iran would continue building its nukes while Kamala would calmly sip (guzzle?) her wine while looking to the heavens and saying (slurring?) to her high-heeled bearded health secretary, “look at the pretty balloon! Do you think it was made in China?”
These nukes they have been days away from having for 40 years, Nard? Those nukes? Or the ones we just "totally obliterated" over the summer? You guys are laughable.
Oh, dear Johnny-O, Iran had GOBS OF fissile material—weeks to a few months to produce bomb‑grade uranium—which means it was uber close to building a bomb. One of the mushroom cloud variety. And, according to Aljazeera, had the U.S. NOT bombed Iran (TWICE!), Iran already had the ability to enrich to weapons‑grade on very short notice and was probably only weeks to a few months away from having enough material for a bomb if it chose to sprint. So.
Should we have waited? Given them time to build a bomb like North Korea? Another nuke in the hands of another madman, holding the world hostage while Kamala enjoyed her wine and charcuterie whilst mumbling and stumbling around the White House?
The best part of all this is the fact that there is still to this day a post on the official White House website declaring that Iran's nuclear program has been totally obliterated and that reports to the contrary are "fake news". And yet.......
The pure idiocy/lunacy would be amusing if it were not so dangerous. All these folks here who think they were so smart in waking up to the covid psyop......walk willingly right into this one.
already had the ability to enrich to weapons‑grade on very short notice and was probably only weeks to a few months away from having enough material for a bomb if it chose to sprint.
Dont like nuclear bombs? They would have them by now.
They’d be sitting there repeating in interviews, “Don’t” as if that’s all the effort they need to make.
They would have captured ALL free speech and enforced an Iran-worthy monopoly over the narrative. They most definitely would have taken us to war but it would NOT have looked like what Trump is doing. It would be huge, lonnnng, messy, and they’d be making sure to pad their pockets and their friends’ pockets by scooping a cut off the top of every expenditure. They’d be sending hundreds of thousands of troops into Iran and using the draft to do so IF dropping more money on the situation didn’t work. Inflation would be at 12%, and they’d blame the war for it all while virtue signaling the sacrifices the little guys have to make while they sacrifice nothing.
Or, there would be no war because they would have sold what remains of America’s soul to China.
🤦♀️ And her recent brilliant and insensitive words at Jesse Jackson's memorial service taking a few swipes at Trump? The thought of her at the helm is enough to cause a new syndrome. Harris Forever Stress Rash Syndrome
Meanwhile, Lindsay Graham has gone full retard. This guy is going to end up getting thousands of our finest service members killed. Can somebody please get rid of this lunatic?
Also, he’s #2 to Grassley on Judiciary. I believe DJT knows he has to keep Lady G on good terms in case he ends up running the process for confirmation of judges.
Tolerating and campaigning are very different things. And if memory serves, Graham has a MAGA challenger, but Trump is backing the neocon. Read the writing on the wall folks.
He has several very excellent wiseman traits of which perseverance and patience are two. Art of the deal. And don't forget to talk nice about them when you aren't pummeling them with insults and truth. Say Thank you often.
I don't think the POTUS has the power to expel senators from Congress. If DT can get some of what he needs from him, best to keep an eye on him. Is there a viable candidate to primary him?
Gets what he needs: as #2 on Judiciary Committee, he would advance to replace Grassley when that seat open. We see the damage done by the leftist judges. Confirming this POTUS picks is all-important.
I think nobody that matters listens to Lindsay bloviate anymore. But whatever his mental illness (spent too much time in traitor McShame’s shadow) he reliably votes conservative and that is very valuable. I believe that’s why he’s tolerated.
A decade and a half ago or so we had the Tea Party Revolution and brought in several new people, who immediately stabbed conservatives in the back.
Maybe he's playing a part of a movie plan we don't have? With the Trumpsters 4D chess moves nothing makes sense until it does. Jeff showed us that with his Sunday post. Now things make a little more sense.
Meghan McCain mentioned this yesterday on X. She was pleading for someone in the Trump admin to get him off the air. That he was scaring the 💩 out of people. It's probably the first time I've ever agreed with her.
As soon as I found out that Miss Linda was taking credit for talking President Trump into the attack on Iran, I got a sick feeling in my stomach...the man oozes pure evil and I do not know why DJT listens to anything he says!
And, why the MSM continues to publish his statements. He's only one of a hundred Senators. Maybe print what a few others say? Or even do some investigative reporting and report a summary concensus?? Nah, too hard...
It isn't even necessary. MAGA doesn't want war, especially for another country (Israel). It isn't why Trump was elected. Candace Owens, Tucker, Meghan Kelly, Charlie Kirk (if were alive) are all pushing back hard on this war. There is a split in MAGA.
Why does even FOX refuse to air the bomb threat by a Muslim on the plane going from TN to FL requiring an emergency landing?
Why does FOX ignore most news that conflicts with the MSM narrative until it’s too loud on X?
Why does FOX still highlight the opinions of the “experts” within the uniparty?
I like nighttime news anchors on Fox because they let a lot of truth slip through, especially Jesse Watters and Gutfeld, but the overall focus of coverage is still controlled by the network’s CEOs and the RINOs. They haven’t fully cleaned house yet.
I know, and they aren’t my only source of news - but I refuse to listen to the truly captured leftist media so when I want to hear what’s being broadcast to the general public I choose Fox. And lately I’ve been disappointed in them after several months of fair reporting and sound reasoning being allowed on their shows.
Did you actually watch what you posted? He basically said in the interview with Maria, nearly exactly what Jeff Childers said in his Sunday post. Perhaps you can go watch it too.
While Im not a fan of Lindsey Graham, he is right on what he said.
HOORAY, J. C. - even though you're still experiencing DST "jet lag" - your Monday C & C was right on target. DANKE SCHOEN for yesterday's "Sunday Special" as well!! I NEVER trust any other "news nuances" EXCEPT FOR YOURS!!!
You hit the proverbial 'ugly nail' on its head with that comment about comparing the "New Supreme Clerical Ruler of Iran with "Prince Zohran Mamdani" now 'leading' NYC governance. WHAT A CROCK - and....every time I see these "power potentates" around the globe that don "large hats", I remember George Carlin's shtick in his stand-up comedy routines about the "preachers with large hats". I always appreciated George's humor - even though some of it was rather raunchy. He was an astute "observer of human nature" - in all of its foibles and fantasies.
Again...THANK YOU, J. C., for your dedication to keeping your C & C loyal 'army' truthfully informed about the finaglings of world governance - the only way you can - with truth, clarity and METEORIC METAPHORS!!
I got the notification of yesterday's post and assumed I couldn't read it. So when I did see that I could read it, I was thrilled. And then when I read it I was triple, quadruple, infinitely thrilled! Honestly, I'm not sure what I would do without C & C. The way Jeff opens up things that other news outlets (even conservative ones) don't cover is so enlightening. It is so fun to see the bigger picture, and (at least a little) understand the grand strategies that are taking place.
I think the problem with the IDs ( could be wrong) is that they are using people as a voter base that don’t have IDs. The demented in retirement homes may not have a driver’s license and a passport. Also people on the streets that couldn’t tell you what city they are in, plus have lost their ID in their trash heap tents. Voter ID would eliminate pet voting and the dead people vote as well.
@Kapoore- all those residents have IDs or they wouldn't have healthcare to pay for those institutions. You make a good point about those on the streets but most don't vote anyway. As far as those who the Dems claim can't get ID: he said what I've been saying for years- they sure had ID when it came to getting social services benefits.
“Schumer’s argument that requiring someone to show a driver’s license to vote in a federal election is Jim Crow 2.0 is rooted in the racist idea propagated by progressive pollsters and institutions that up to 20% of black people lack photo identification.”
In feminized, leg-crossing, jazz-hands, Gavin Newsom’s dumpster fire state, the officials are busy verifying the IDs of signatories of a ballot initiative asking voters to require voterID for state elections. Democrats are hopeful they can disqualify enough signers to disqualify the ballot initiative.
In Democrat land, the Babylon Bee articles write themselves.
Schumer basically said that if Trump won't sign legislation because the Dems are refusing to vote for the Save Act, then the Dems will refuse to vote for the Save Act.
Rather than happy talk, can we discuss what’s going on in Iran with some clear-eyed objectivity? I enjoy Jeff Childers writing (he is good at it) but do we really need twenty odd paragraphs about if the new Ayatollah’s selection was legitimate? He is in power and that is all that matters.
We are getting almost zero independent information from the region and that’s no accident. After a week the info blackout really is remarkable, particularly compared to what we saw from previous Mideast wars. Doesn’t that seem strange to anyone? Obviously the blackout is intentional and facilitated by the US and Israeli military using AI in widescale internet censorship.
It seems pretty obvious in hindsight, Trump got fed a bunch of happy horsesh#t from the warmongers about how this would be a cakewalk and the regime would quickly collapse. The Iranian people would rise up and take charge. IRGC leaders would be strung up on lampposts. Of course none of that actually happened or we would have heard about it, that would not have been censored. The regime survives and has hunkered down for the long haul.
Yes the regime had been severely crippled along with its military capability. But it didn’t collapse and is very likely being fed intelligence by Russia (and maybe China). It will continue firing missiles timed and aimed for maximum havoc. The Strait of Hormuz will de-facto remain closed for the foreseeable future, as tanker crewmen will not be willing to risk their lives. This isn’t just about insurance but the likelihood of being killed doing their jobs.
Oil is already over a $100 a barrel, briefly hitting $118 on the spot market last night. Oil runs the economy, and the economy is showing cracks. The market was down over 1% on Friday and is opening down big again today. People are realizing this war will be severely disruptive and won’t end quickly. If this is still going on by the end of Summer the GOP will be destroyed in November. Rightly so BTW, as it will be seen as an almost unimaginable betrayal by Trump.
All of the wrong people (like Pence and Pompeo) who hated Trump a month ago are now praising him. Doesn’t that give anyone pause? Trump gambled his entire presidency on the desires of people who hate him, have allegiance to a foreign country, or harbor some end times religious fanatic death wish. This is not a Tim Lahaye novel but real life.
God help us and pray that PDJT realizes he was grossly misled. He can declare victory and end this today, having achieved significant military objectives. This regime change stuff is insane and will destroy the rest of his presidency.
I think it is safe to say, you supported those moronic wars, but yet, we should listen to your guidance and support this one now too. Great track record.
I just read her OSINT (funny acronym!) Analysis, and it reads well, shows how much of this operation was set up months ago, how the various precedents came together to initiate it, and how well it is going. One particular new data point was Iran's "mosaic defense" every province has a semi independent military command, pre- enabled and directed, which makes it much more difficult to overcome the whole. This explains their attacks on their muslim neighbor states. It also indicates the trajectory of the war, as we systematically take out all 31 of them from our completely controlled airspace. It will take some time, but will get done, i expect.
And Trump was very aware of their structure coming into this. He didn’t blindly follow neocons into this situation unaware of how deeply the levels of Iran’s regime go.
Oh so they would have justification according to your interpretation then to bomb hotels and airports in Germany and Japan too, since we have troops in those places?
We will see how this US/Israel war against Iran plays out. I suspect Jeff C's take will age far better than Mr. Childer's analyses.
Somewhat on a side note about the Ayatollah's son succeeding him, one could do a comparison article about George H. W. Bush and his son, George W. Bush.
"Carpet bombed". You are seriously going to go with the precision assault against IRGC and Islamist government officials that have been raping, murdering and mowing down the Persian people in the streets? That have been calling for Death to the USA for 47 years?
The Ayatollah was an Islamist. Islamists are not only an enemy of the West, but their own neighborhood. Iran's Islamist regime funded death and destruction. He should have been eliminated decades ago. His son is not a legitimate choice, and is another Islamist, just with less lunatic credentials and more foreign investments. He will need to be removed, and all Mullahs following him until a non-theocratic regime can form. Why is it you naysayers always want parity? Do you WANT to see the US carpet bombed? Do you want DJT killed?
This period of the ongoing conflict has the highest degree of censorship and mis/dis/this-information in modern history. Add to that, various parties are heavily invested in their agendas such that delusional thinking in the face of compelling evidence is the new normal.
I could type for another hour but who has time…..oh thanks for the idea RJ, maybe I should start my own stack….I mean the frikkin platform seems to want me to!
Please do. We're all going to hang on your every word.
In the meantime, consider that "censorship" is arising from the most central of sources to prevent people like Ilhan Omar from spilling the beans to her co-religionists. Hot takes and fog of war axioms inevitably confuse points along the way.
I think you’re partially correct. I think that there are emerging sectors within the regime that want to eliminate this guy and his supporters. What better way than to name him the boss and let the IDF take him out.
Jeff, thank you so much for yesterday’s bonus post - I really appreciated it.
Yes! I’d go so far to say it was one of his best posts ever. It connected so many dots. I shared it with my dad and he thought so too!
Loved the dot connecting!
Maybe we need to organize a gift donation to JC to share our thanks for those who cant afford the regular donation??
Why don't we just bomb those who are unable to pay and take over their countries? They deserve it after all.
What the heck?
Maybe he should lower his prices so that us bottom 50% can participate.
Yes Childers connects so many dots his posts have become Rohrshak tests. Every single thing in Iran was planned, plotted, calculated, prayed over, and executed to an accuracy of a light-element's atomic radius. I'm thinking nothing larger than hydrogen or helium here. Nothing went wrong, is going wrong, or will ever go wrong. Now all we have to do is send enough canon fodder in to subdue 92 million people. And no chance whatsoever that anyone else will get involved, so we're all safe here. Joe Biden himself told me, just the other day,, that none of the 20 million invaders he brought in is an Iranian terrorist, so we're completely safe. I hear the Iranians are throwing rose petals at the missiles, to thank Trump and Bibi for killing them and destroying their country.
I can't wait until the midterms. America loves wars. Like our buddies the Chinese said last week, we're addicted to war. $40 trillion national debt and counting.
You are, like, the King of Sarcasm! Well done!
Honestly, 71 years old and have seen this same crap 6-7 times before. It's always, always, always "different this time" yet it always turns out the same, namely very badly for us. We allegedly destroyed their nuke capability last summer, according to the exaggerator-in-chief. Iran must have some amazing engineers to rebuild so quickly.
So, Mr. Trump, why not just a few more bunker-busters?
My current default position on just about everything is disbelief. Everyone is lying to us, almost all the time. I wish I understood this 50 years ago but whatever. Pay attention: When I say EVERYBODY I mean EVERY-fucking-BODY. EVERYONE.
I'm not accusing Jeff, but he's a lawyer and like us a Trump fan, so he uses his considerable skills in twisting and tweaking facts to fit today's to-do list. If Trump has a sex change operation it will be "4D chess to fool the democrats": if he shits himself tonight it will be to "ward off the Curse of the Manky Ayatollah."
Another point, regarding the extra special post: The more complicated an explanation, the more likely it's BS.
Just saying.
Yes! Unexpected and very welcomed read.
Joining the good dog pile to say “Thank you, Jeff” as well. You truly have a gift of taking complex topics and making them understandable. It can be overwhelming trying to parse all the complexity in our current timeline and see behind the noise generated to the truth. Your bonus post yesterday was a masterful lesson in how to do that. God bless you.
My mother was so excited to receive it…it gave her much peace and relief. MANY THANKS💗🙏‼️
Yes I love how it explained every single thing, down to which fork Khameni's son uses to wipe his ass.
I mean to scratch the barnacles off his ass. Nobody wipes his ass with a fork.
❤️
Ditto. And because only paid subscribers could comment we were free of the bots & haters for one day. 🙌🏻
Sort of. 🤣 There were still a couple. They couldn’t see the forest through the trees.
I love that we could still read comments even if we couldn’t reply.
And THAT gave us some food for thought: several of the naysayers here (that like to criticize Jeff’s views (and ours,) while refusing to apply equal critique to the opposing views,) spread tunnel vision leftist talking points or anti-Israel slop in overdrive, (because some dialogue about Israel is understandable and thoughtful discussion should happen among us, but these people are off the deep end in deranged territory,) well I noticed many hold actual full priced subscriptions, and feign to “love you Jeff, but…”, yet none felt the urge to comment yesterday ? 🤔 That was catnip for them if ever any article was! Yet crickets. But then they go full speed in comments M-Sa. That tells me intent. Except for a couple, they are too scared to tread the loyal waters of paid subscribers, and they know most of us can’t read those comments so why bother. It is as if their true aim is to pick off the weaker minded from the unpaid. A person true to their stance would have commented yesterday, but a deceptive one with ulterior motives would wait until today. Bad faith readers and subscribers. Not paid opposition, but paying opposition …
Very well said JuJu
Good observations.
I've been here since the blog started when Jeff was the only ray of hope in a world gone mad. Disagreeing with a war started for a foreign country that sees us as cattle and spits on Christians is not being a "bot" or a "hater". It's difficult to confront the reality that the man we elected has in many ways betrayed us, but running from it will only make the reckoning that much more difficult. He campaigned on literally the exact opposite. He said it was the sick neocons who would start a war with Iran. Now his foreign policy may as well be carried out by Lindsay Graham. He campaigned on bringing justice to the Epstein class and now calls it a hoax and says we need to move on. His DOJ refuses to even investigate anyone. We're being outdone by the UK of all places. The place that arrests people for flying their country's own flag has made more Epstein arrests than us. It's okay to be optimistic, but we have to at least be realistic. The first six months felt like nothing but wins, since then it's felt like nothing but losses. Can you all at least acknowledge we have a lot of real complaints with how things are going?
Given some of your blanket statements that have long since been ironed out and you haven’t noticed, I can acknowledge that you have very shallow views that refuse to look wider and deeper behind his decisions. That you also refuse to acknowledge there are other perspectives that disprove yours, and they are just as equally viable. That you refuse to critique and criticize views like your own, like the left, AND our actual enemies in equal fashion, failing to put that same distrust and skepticism into their analyses as you do ours. Who blindly believes their reporting and perspectives then accuses us of blind faith. That impatience is at the root of your opinions. That lack of appreciation for our extremely corrupt judiciary and what this administration faces because of that escapes you. That undermining the base’s confidence seems to be the only reason. No, I can’t acknowledge you have very real complaints because you don’t listen, and appear to want to pull people only in one direction and criticize those who call you out on it as not allowing dissenting opinions.
We certainly do. Just not the way you guys like to do it. You forget that truth always rises to the surface in free speech communities, and that includes true intentions.
My man, you have not addressed a single thing I've actually said in substance, you yourself are the one making a giant blanket statement here. Who is blindly believing anything? What are you talking about? I don't listen to what? You haven't actually addressed anything I've said. You just say it's all fake and it's all leftwing talking points. You don't think the lack of arrests is a real complaint? You don't think criticizing this war is a real complaint? Who am I blindly trusting? What are my intentions? Did Trump campaign on going to war with Iran? Did he campaign on calling the files a hoax? You can contend that he has grand plan we're not privy to, but there's literally 0 proof for any of it. The skeptics are crazy for simply taking Trump at his word when he calls it a hoax and says we need to move on? Undermining the base's confidence? My dude I voted for this guy THREE TIMES! I cannot even begin to explain how much mental energy I have put in for the last decade defending him. I have lost friends over it. And for what?
It's you who is making blanket statements, simply refusing to believe that any criticism can be real and that we're all malevolent actors with nefarious intent. Meanwhile, you cannot address a single thing I've said.
Having just noted the bit about the foreign country that ‘sees us as cattle and spits on Christians’ and noting that you don’t even have the courage to say Israel, as you accuse with such nasty slander; yeah, I see you.
This is the last I have to say. I completely agree with Cousin Joe Dan from Intellectual Froglegs.
“I'm not arguing with a member of the Anti-Jew mob. I'll just say the opinion of people who possess a hatred for an entire race of people means very little to me. Whether it's Jews, blacks, Mexican, Japanese... don't matter.
Similar to TDS. The fact that we're just beginning the second of Trump's 4 year term just shows how irrational and ignorant you are.
And actually I'm a damn proud zionist... Because I 1000% believe Israel has a right to exist in their homeland. But it's typical of you guys to barge in with your pre-rehearsed hostile comments rather than attempt at discussion.”
Only read your first sentence and thought “I don’t have to address a single thing you argued because Jeff already has, every day! You’re just not listening. I won’t play these games of trying to make all of us re-explain things he JUST explained. 🙄”
“Who is blindly believing anything?” You are
“I don't listen to what?” Jeff’s reasoned and well researched analyses.
“You don't think the lack of arrests is a real complaint?” No
“You don't think criticizing this war is a real complaint?” Not while our troops are engaged
“Who am I blindly trusting?” Whoever you’re listening to. I think you just commented again and listed a few 🤣
“What are my intentions?” To divide. Certainly not to stand together and support our president as he tries to save this country.
“Did Trump campaign on going to war with Iran?” Yes, at every rally he said he would NOT hesitate to bomb Iran if it were necessary but he would try everything he could to avoid it. He did.
“Did he campaign on calling the files a hoax?” The hoax was not the files but how the democrats were trying to USE the files. You’re stuck in faulty talking points.
“You can contend that he has grand plan we're not privy to, but there's literally 0 proof for any of it.” There’s a LOT of proof. Read Data Republicans deep dive analysis. Listen The Prometheus Action. It’s all there. People like you who seek to divide don’t want to hear any opposing viewpoint.
“The skeptics are crazy for simply taking Trump at his word when he calls it a hoax and says we need to move on?” Strawman
“Undermining the base's confidence?” Absolutely
“My dude I voted for this guy THREE TIMES!” Highly doubt it, but if you did you allowed yourself to be easily snowed and picked off by enemies that are dividing us from within with lies.
“I cannot even begin to explain how much mental energy I have put in for the last decade defending him. I have lost friends over it. And for what?” Bull***
“It's you who is making blanket statements, simply refusing to believe that any criticism can be real and that we're all malevolent actors with nefarious intent.” If it walks like a duck …
“Meanwhile, you cannot address a single thing I've said.” Jeff already did. Why do we have to repeat him? 🤔
Exactly my man, you are completely unable to actually defend your ideas. You refuse to actually address anything I've said, because you can't. "You won't blindly agree with Jeff so you're not worth talking to!" that is your argument. Bravo.
Is Alex Jones a leftist? Is Robert Barnes a leftist? Is Owen Schroyer a leftist? is MTG a leftist? Is Massie a leftist? Is everyone who disagrees with you and has even the most mildest criticism a secret leftist trying to undermine the base? Or is it more likely that maybe, just maybe, when the guy you elected starts doing the exact opposite of what he campaigned on, that there is going to be backlash?
Wow. 🤣🤣🤣 Some may be leftists and didn’t know it. Most though allowed an anti-Israel campaign to work on their minds and are ravenously dividing us from within.
There are many of us that don’t have the hours in the day to argue in detail what others already have. We read both sides thoughtfully, I’m an Alex Jones and Tucker fan, so I’ve listened to them the past three years almost daily. But I also listen to others in our party that disagree. I sit here and try to decide what is more sound and logical. I come to conclusions and picked a side.
You want me to explain wHy. I don’t have to. I don’t get paid to sit at a computer all day and articulate perspectives in hyper-detailed ways to overcome your surfacey, narrative that you chose to believe. Other people already have, and quite well. I choose to point to their arguments. Jeff is one of them.
Just because I choose to not repeat their very detailed analyses in comments to you does NOT mean I have blind faith, and you don’t. It’s odd that you judge the amount of effort each of us put into arguing with you as proof of anything.
I read and listened to both sides. I disagree with you, vehemently! I’m not seeking to peel you away from your delusions, so I don’t need to argue any of it. If you want sound arguments to support my beliefs, read Coffee & Covid. Doh!
I’m so repulsed by the “iT’s tHe jOoS’ fAuLt” crowd. But logic will not persuade them out of it.
@MC(Jew hater) Perhaps. There certainly is suspect behavior.
In no way do I see Trump doing the opposite of what he campaigned on.
If people oppose him at every turn, what does that say about them?
MC ... this as to Jones, Barnes et alia needed being said. But I fear it is the old case of 'in one ear and out the other' as to the one it was directed towards. Some people just think that they are geniuses but are in fact so far out of their depth as to be the three blind mice all rolled into one.
This Iran thing works on multiple levels with the levels being interactive both short terms and longer term. It is so complex that simple comments, two headed either/or commenting is just out of the question as to doing the situation justice.
Very well said JuJu
@MC(Jew hater)The sowing of doubt and discord seems to be your aim. Are you an honest player or an agitator? How do we know how long you’ve been here or why you’re here?
This is the internet. Anyone can claim anything. Did you vote for Trump 2 or 3 times, but never will again?
I couldn’t be more pleased with President Trump myself. I can wait for plans to fully develop and come to fruition.

Why I love Sunday posts! But apparently Soros has paid for some subscriptions. There was at least one working it.
Yes. Yeahhhh I noticed that.
Think again.
Sounds anti semantic
Thank you, Jeff! The bonus Sunday post was full of so much needed information to connect the dots. God bless you and the work you do for all of us!
Yes Jeff, so appreciated the post yesterday! I wish you had tiered subscription options, your paid options are beyond my budget. I’ve sent gifts a few times, but would be totally open to subscribing if you had other options.
Yes, Terri, I agree! I am so very thankful I have the privilege of reading C & C Monday through Saturday. That is a gracious and generous gift from Jeff to all of us here in the C & C family. I am not able to afford the monthly fee either, yet know full well that a "workman is worthy of his hire", and what Jeff provides for us is far more valuable than any monthly subscription fee could ever cover. Thank you, Jeff!
I have a recurring donation at a level that works for me. It doesn't give me access to his Sunday posts, but that's okay.
Same!
I second that!
To add to the helpful post yesterday, here is a link to Data Republican’s recent analysis, which dropped last night and looks to concur. She dug deep, very deep into the data. It’s long and very detailed, but worth your time when you have it:

Can you post the link to Data Republican's analysis please? I didn't think she would show up in a 60minutes piece?
Ooops wrong link! I’ll correct my post. This is the correct one:

Sorry!!!
I guess I didn't read far enough down in the comments. I just posted about this! lol
Yes, I read that too. Very interesting and informative.
The last 2 day of Jeff posts have been SO eye opening. Well done sir!
Ditto this!
I did too. And I shared it. Thank you.
You took the words…;)))
Yes! Thank you! It was excellent, as always!

"You’re right. Christianity brainwashed me.
Now I want to spend the rest of my life loving one woman, building a faithful marriage, raising a strong and beautiful family, praying for people who hate me, forgiving when it’s hard, staying far away from gossip and bitterness, and finding my peace in Jesus.

C&C, a new friend, Arieh, sent me this this morning, it is incredible:

Here's another 'news byte' on the now very active online "debate" about "Laminin and The Cross" symbolism! https://greekcitytimes.com/2026/03/08/cross-shaped-laminin-protein-science-faith/
Thank you, Jayson, for always leading us to "The Cross" - where ALL humanity is equal...in its need for salvation through Yeshua's ultimate sacrificial death on Calvary Hill's cross!
Good stuff Sharon, thank you. How remarkable all of this is. Reminds me of this: https://old.bitchute.com/video/qtDj4De4uqXn [4:08mins] from the COVID era.

Hahaha.
Good words, TT. Catherine Austin Fitts says that’s refusing to “feed the tapeworm.” Staying alert in this world while keeping our eyes, minds, and hearts fixed on Jesus is a challenge. Praise God, we can do all things through Him. He strengthens us.
Welcome to wisdom.

May we all be encouraged by our God. Nobody is too far gone. All are free to accept His gift of redemption. If anyone has slipped on something given up for Lent, don’t sweat it. Just try again. That is what our God is all about.
I wanted to thank Jeff for his brilliant post yesterday about what is REALLY happening in Iran, and how the hit on the refinery was not a mistake, but part of the plan. I also really enjoyed reading all the comments. Thanks Jeff.
Yes, it was an outstanding explanation. Everyone should understand that President Trump is fundamentally changing the world order in the most profound ways while also restoring America to it's Constitution and of, by and for the people. This is critical work that has been ignored for decades while the corrupt criminals in and out of government have stolen our country. IT IS NOT EASY and THERE is RISK involved! Would everyone prefer that we continue on the path of the death of the USA or LET THE MAN WORK??
LET THE MAN WORK and SUPPORT HIS EFFORTS 100%. The corrupt of the world are not just going to roll over and play dead, they are pushing back and they are pushing back hard. We need to have our President's back!
Well said Dan.
I second that!
bUt wE aRe juSt aSkiNg quEstiOnS!
Yep, questions from clowns with the intention of undermining support for the President's great efforts for our country.
I'm quite surprised at the lack of nuance in these threads. Oil prices are skyrocketing, which is a disaster for global markets and economies. Insurance doesn't open the strait. The Iranians do. They have hit various refineries in the area as well. Those countries in the gulf are all largely dependent upon food imports as well, which also, are not getting in unless Iran lets them in. This is an utter disaster in the making.
Oil prices are nowhere near historical highs, which were not a global disaster then or now.
They only nearly doubled in a week. This is just getting started.....and yeah, record high oil prices also coincided with 2008 crash. Our markets were already in trouble signaling a downturn before this idiotic war game commenced. Its all going to be grossly exacerbated due to this.
Zero, zero, zero…
Not to mention natural gas.....
Zero brain cells left…
Zero strikes again.
And the girls school.
The one conveniently placed right next door to a militarty facility? That girls' school?
It doesn't matter where the school was located. It shows that whomever is pulling the trigger doesn't think twice about killing children. What kind of shitty intelligence is the US relying on if they can't tell the difference between a school and a military target? Stop justifying this horrible event. At a minimum, Hegseth should publicly admit the mistake and apologize about killing children. Is the US this callous? We know it is and it hurts to admit.
The US is no better than Israel. Let's not forget the flattening of Gaza happened with the help of the US. Draw your own conclusion. No matter who's in change, D or R, our government consists of insatiable warmongers.
"Yesterday, President Trump made the obvious point. If our soldiers are risking their lives in the Gulf, then the least Americans can do is tolerate a buck more on the price of gas for a few weeks."
Jeff, how about we don't put our soldiers in a situation where they have to risk their lives in yet another made-up conflict by our careless leaders? The media propaganda is working really hard parroting the "short-term pain" non-sense. Just stop, it's not working anymore.
US not happy.
Now all oil depots are fair target
U.S. very happy.
You Brits? Not so much
I am reminded of (IIRCC) Golda Meir’s statement about the Middle East, ‘There will be peace in the Middle East when the Palestinians learn to love their children more than they hate the Israelis.’
Maybe the NYT can be trusted when they are able to love the USA more than they hate Donald Trump.
Maybe Mayor Mamdani has the NYT editorial staff by the short hairs, ya think?
The NYT has been anti-America and a propaganda rag since before Mamdani was born.
Well, you got me there. There is that Pulitzer Prize for that guy in the 1930s who covered for Stalin’s Holodomor in Ukraine. I had almost forgotten about that. They have always been an anti American commie rag.
Yes. Thanks for that truth! They didn't even have to love others... Oh wait....
I'd say the reverse is also true: ‘There will be peace in the Middle East when the Israelis learn to love their children more than they hate the Palestinians.’
And you would be wrong , Navyo.
To clarify: my point was it's mutual. Israelis and Palestinians have been indoctrinated to hate each other since childhood.
How many Arabs (or any or no religion) live freely in Israel? (Palestinian used to be a term applied to Jews living in the British Mandate, only in the 1960’s with the Soviets backing Yassir Arafat was the term applied to Arabs unwilling to live peacefully in Israel.) Thus a term used to sow hate and division @ a time when the Soviets were using the Muslim Arab rejection of the 1948 partition.
The Palestinians(Philistines) havre never loved their own children.
Mossad entering chat.
Acting like you’re ‘English’ but are really a Muslim propagandist.
Phililstines were not Arabs...
I don’t know what your point is. The ‘Palestinians’ are inhabiting the exact location that the Philistines did. They call themselves ‘Philisti’ and have decided to serve the same demons as did the Philistine. Same demons as Islamists.
The Iranians are not Arabs either. They’re Persians.(did you even know that?) And yet, most are Islamists.
Another absurdity. Comments like that just translate to "There will be peace in the M.E. when the Muslims make Israel a smoking ruin."
Borrowed from Cousin Joe Dan of Intellectual Froglegs

At least you had the courage to say Israel.
"When the Arabs love their children...."
Exactly. When they stop strapping bombs to their own.
Great quote. Mamdani and the other childless demonstrate this in their own way.

Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears our burden,
The God who is our salvation. Selah.
God is to us a God of deliverances;
And to GOD the Lord belong escapes from death.
Surely God will shatter the head of His enemies,
The hairy crown of him who goes on in his guilty deeds.

✝️✝️✝️
Dear Lord,
We believers bless you and thank you for carrying all our burdens upon your strong shoulders. The burden of our sin, the weight of our guilt, and the infinite debt we could not pay—all are lifted from our souls and borne by you. Thank you for delivering us from sin, guilt, and death. Thank you for wielding justice to your enemies. And thank you that through Christ’s blood, we are your enemies no longer.
In Jesus’ name,
Amen.
Amen!
"Surely God will shatter the head of His enemies."?
Christ taught love.
He did teach love but he also had a lot to say about messing around and finding out.
Sometimes love looks like disciplining your kids, if for no other reason than to make them good, enjoyable citizens. Sometimes love looks like harming enemies so that the good guys can have a better life.
Show the New Testament passage. Love everyone as I have loved you may be anti semantic?
Love everyone as I have loved you is in no way *antisemitic.
Christ taught love. And repentance. And obedience. To His Father's law.
Justice is love.
I'm trying to imagine the previous administration attempting to navigate through all this. I can almost hear high heeled pumps prancing around in the situation room combined with the reassuring sounds of quasi-male skirts rustling from the office fans, while an argument ensues about who forgot to bring the pink highlighters.
They wouldn’t be navigating this because this wouldn’t be happening at all…Iran would continue building its nukes while Kamala would calmly sip (guzzle?) her wine while looking to the heavens and saying (slurring?) to her high-heeled bearded health secretary, “look at the pretty balloon! Do you think it was made in China?”
These nukes they have been days away from having for 40 years, Nard? Those nukes? Or the ones we just "totally obliterated" over the summer? You guys are laughable.
Oh, dear Johnny-O, Iran had GOBS OF fissile material—weeks to a few months to produce bomb‑grade uranium—which means it was uber close to building a bomb. One of the mushroom cloud variety. And, according to Aljazeera, had the U.S. NOT bombed Iran (TWICE!), Iran already had the ability to enrich to weapons‑grade on very short notice and was probably only weeks to a few months away from having enough material for a bomb if it chose to sprint. So.
Should we have waited? Given them time to build a bomb like North Korea? Another nuke in the hands of another madman, holding the world hostage while Kamala enjoyed her wine and charcuterie whilst mumbling and stumbling around the White House?
No. Thank. You.

Again, genius, they've been days away for 40+ years. Connect the dots, if you are so intelligent.
The best part of all this is the fact that there is still to this day a post on the official White House website declaring that Iran's nuclear program has been totally obliterated and that reports to the contrary are "fake news". And yet.......
The pure idiocy/lunacy would be amusing if it were not so dangerous. All these folks here who think they were so smart in waking up to the covid psyop......walk willingly right into this one.
Zero, zero, zero…can’t learn. Just a bot.
already had the ability to enrich to weapons‑grade on very short notice and was probably only weeks to a few months away from having enough material for a bomb if it chose to sprint.
Dont like nuclear bombs? They would have them by now.
Zero fires…and misses!
They’d be sitting there repeating in interviews, “Don’t” as if that’s all the effort they need to make.
They would have captured ALL free speech and enforced an Iran-worthy monopoly over the narrative. They most definitely would have taken us to war but it would NOT have looked like what Trump is doing. It would be huge, lonnnng, messy, and they’d be making sure to pad their pockets and their friends’ pockets by scooping a cut off the top of every expenditure. They’d be sending hundreds of thousands of troops into Iran and using the draft to do so IF dropping more money on the situation didn’t work. Inflation would be at 12%, and they’d blame the war for it all while virtue signaling the sacrifices the little guys have to make while they sacrifice nothing.
Or, there would be no war because they would have sold what remains of America’s soul to China.
I’m so glad this president is addressing Iran.
🤦♀️ And her recent brilliant and insensitive words at Jesse Jackson's memorial service taking a few swipes at Trump? The thought of her at the helm is enough to cause a new syndrome. Harris Forever Stress Rash Syndrome
Jesse’s son was appalled at the political takeover of his father’s funeral by the
Democrats. This after he had explicitly asked that it not happen!!!
Classless idiots!

There is only the Neocon party.
Biden's was a zero-to-one dimensional administration powered by DEI. Trump is...Trump!
Meanwhile, Lindsay Graham has gone full retard. This guy is going to end up getting thousands of our finest service members killed. Can somebody please get rid of this lunatic?
https://x.com/shadowofezra/status/2030658640902762773?s=46
Plug that wretched warmonger into the front line immediately.
Let his be the only boots on the ground.
I love Trump as much as the next person but how does he tolerate this guy?
Keep your friends close and your enemies closer?
One can hope.
Also, he’s #2 to Grassley on Judiciary. I believe DJT knows he has to keep Lady G on good terms in case he ends up running the process for confirmation of judges.
As we have seen, pretty important.
Lady G, haha.
And keep Bibi close too?
Yes. And rightly so. 🙄
As long as Graham keeps getting elected, Trump gets to tolerate him. One of the few downsides of a representative Republic.
Tolerating and campaigning are very different things. And if memory serves, Graham has a MAGA challenger, but Trump is backing the neocon. Read the writing on the wall folks.
Lots of us in SC are planning to vote against Graham in the primary but so many people are low information voters and only know his name...
Lessons were learned in the Tea Party Revolution. New people were put in and several promptly proceeded to stab conservatives in the back.
m&m...Do they think he is a cracker you can only get at Trader Joe's?! 😀😉
He has several very excellent wiseman traits of which perseverance and patience are two. Art of the deal. And don't forget to talk nice about them when you aren't pummeling them with insults and truth. Say Thank you often.
And "doing an amazing/fantastic job!"
I don't think tolerate is the right word. Trump is campaigning for the guy.
Epstein file contains both.
It's a big club.
That’s unreal.
I don't think the POTUS has the power to expel senators from Congress. If DT can get some of what he needs from him, best to keep an eye on him. Is there a viable candidate to primary him?
Gets what he needs: as #2 on Judiciary Committee, he would advance to replace Grassley when that seat open. We see the damage done by the leftist judges. Confirming this POTUS picks is all-important.
That’s just one angle. Am sure there are others.
Same divided government that Jeff notes on Iran.
I think nobody that matters listens to Lindsay bloviate anymore. But whatever his mental illness (spent too much time in traitor McShame’s shadow) he reliably votes conservative and that is very valuable. I believe that’s why he’s tolerated.
A decade and a half ago or so we had the Tea Party Revolution and brought in several new people, who immediately stabbed conservatives in the back.
That was a hard lesson.
Maybe he's playing a part of a movie plan we don't have? With the Trumpsters 4D chess moves nothing makes sense until it does. Jeff showed us that with his Sunday post. Now things make a little more sense.
Meghan McCain mentioned this yesterday on X. She was pleading for someone in the Trump admin to get him off the air. That he was scaring the 💩 out of people. It's probably the first time I've ever agreed with her.
And yet he learned at her daddy’s knee and her family’s wealth came from wars🧐
I guess she’s trying to make amends or something…or take any position that she thinks will take down Trump.
As soon as I found out that Miss Linda was taking credit for talking President Trump into the attack on Iran, I got a sick feeling in my stomach...the man oozes pure evil and I do not know why DJT listens to anything he says!
I don't think he does..that is just Graham thinking and saying he is more than he is...which is a nothing burger.
And, why the MSM continues to publish his statements. He's only one of a hundred Senators. Maybe print what a few others say? Or even do some investigative reporting and report a summary concensus?? Nah, too hard...
MSM continues to highlight Graham precisely because they know MAGA does not like him. It’s an attempt to cause division within maga.
It isn't even necessary. MAGA doesn't want war, especially for another country (Israel). It isn't why Trump was elected. Candace Owens, Tucker, Meghan Kelly, Charlie Kirk (if were alive) are all pushing back hard on this war. There is a split in MAGA.
Megyn Kelly, Candace Owen, Tucker / all are using & perverting Charlie Kirk’s message. Full context is necessary.
Zero is not MAGA.
Why does even FOX refuse to air the bomb threat by a Muslim on the plane going from TN to FL requiring an emergency landing?
Why does FOX ignore most news that conflicts with the MSM narrative until it’s too loud on X?
Why does FOX still highlight the opinions of the “experts” within the uniparty?
I like nighttime news anchors on Fox because they let a lot of truth slip through, especially Jesse Watters and Gutfeld, but the overall focus of coverage is still controlled by the network’s CEOs and the RINOs. They haven’t fully cleaned house yet.
Really, Juju, who cares what Fox does?
We have Substack. We don't need Fox.
I know, and they aren’t my only source of news - but I refuse to listen to the truly captured leftist media so when I want to hear what’s being broadcast to the general public I choose Fox. And lately I’ve been disappointed in them after several months of fair reporting and sound reasoning being allowed on their shows.
Exactly
It’s up to the voters of South Carolina to rid us of that corrupt loser Lindsay Graham. He’s a snake.
@Evans- I've been saying for a couple of years now that that guy is a weasel.
Did you actually watch what you posted? He basically said in the interview with Maria, nearly exactly what Jeff Childers said in his Sunday post. Perhaps you can go watch it too.
While Im not a fan of Lindsey Graham, he is right on what he said.
Jeff, I want to thank you for yesterday's C&C. It was a terrific read. You're the best!
HOORAY, J. C. - even though you're still experiencing DST "jet lag" - your Monday C & C was right on target. DANKE SCHOEN for yesterday's "Sunday Special" as well!! I NEVER trust any other "news nuances" EXCEPT FOR YOURS!!!
You hit the proverbial 'ugly nail' on its head with that comment about comparing the "New Supreme Clerical Ruler of Iran with "Prince Zohran Mamdani" now 'leading' NYC governance. WHAT A CROCK - and....every time I see these "power potentates" around the globe that don "large hats", I remember George Carlin's shtick in his stand-up comedy routines about the "preachers with large hats". I always appreciated George's humor - even though some of it was rather raunchy. He was an astute "observer of human nature" - in all of its foibles and fantasies.
Again...THANK YOU, J. C., for your dedication to keeping your C & C loyal 'army' truthfully informed about the finaglings of world governance - the only way you can - with truth, clarity and METEORIC METAPHORS!!
JEHOVAH JIREH - He HAS, He DOES, He WILL!
I got the notification of yesterday's post and assumed I couldn't read it. So when I did see that I could read it, I was thrilled. And then when I read it I was triple, quadruple, infinitely thrilled! Honestly, I'm not sure what I would do without C & C. The way Jeff opens up things that other news outlets (even conservative ones) don't cover is so enlightening. It is so fun to see the bigger picture, and (at least a little) understand the grand strategies that are taking place.
I think the problem with the IDs ( could be wrong) is that they are using people as a voter base that don’t have IDs. The demented in retirement homes may not have a driver’s license and a passport. Also people on the streets that couldn’t tell you what city they are in, plus have lost their ID in their trash heap tents. Voter ID would eliminate pet voting and the dead people vote as well.
There are videos out there of Chucky demanding voter IDs and sounding just like a Trump supporter, a decade or so ago. I’ll see if I can find it.
Just as we have all seen the videos of Clintons and Obama calling for deportation of illegals and closing the borders!
I think I saw a video from 1996 in which he demanded voter IDs.
@Kapoore- all those residents have IDs or they wouldn't have healthcare to pay for those institutions. You make a good point about those on the streets but most don't vote anyway. As far as those who the Dems claim can't get ID: he said what I've been saying for years- they sure had ID when it came to getting social services benefits.
Line of the day: Kind of like Zohran Mamdani, except better armed.
Ellen; "Fake and Gay" was mine, glad to see it making a comeback!
Kind of like Joe Biden's bag man Hunter.
At least he is trying to balance the NYC budget on those who pay no taxes.
FIRST! I feel like I won lotto! :D
And no gambling required =)
Well done Kitkat!
“Schumer’s argument that requiring someone to show a driver’s license to vote in a federal election is Jim Crow 2.0 is rooted in the racist idea propagated by progressive pollsters and institutions that up to 20% of black people lack photo identification.”
In feminized, leg-crossing, jazz-hands, Gavin Newsom’s dumpster fire state, the officials are busy verifying the IDs of signatories of a ballot initiative asking voters to require voterID for state elections. Democrats are hopeful they can disqualify enough signers to disqualify the ballot initiative.
In Democrat land, the Babylon Bee articles write themselves.
Schumer basically said that if Trump won't sign legislation because the Dems are refusing to vote for the Save Act, then the Dems will refuse to vote for the Save Act.
What a threat! What percentage of Dems were even considering voting for the SAVE Act? Fetterman?
Exactly!
Yeah. Just him. 🤣
Rather than happy talk, can we discuss what’s going on in Iran with some clear-eyed objectivity? I enjoy Jeff Childers writing (he is good at it) but do we really need twenty odd paragraphs about if the new Ayatollah’s selection was legitimate? He is in power and that is all that matters.
We are getting almost zero independent information from the region and that’s no accident. After a week the info blackout really is remarkable, particularly compared to what we saw from previous Mideast wars. Doesn’t that seem strange to anyone? Obviously the blackout is intentional and facilitated by the US and Israeli military using AI in widescale internet censorship.
It seems pretty obvious in hindsight, Trump got fed a bunch of happy horsesh#t from the warmongers about how this would be a cakewalk and the regime would quickly collapse. The Iranian people would rise up and take charge. IRGC leaders would be strung up on lampposts. Of course none of that actually happened or we would have heard about it, that would not have been censored. The regime survives and has hunkered down for the long haul.
Yes the regime had been severely crippled along with its military capability. But it didn’t collapse and is very likely being fed intelligence by Russia (and maybe China). It will continue firing missiles timed and aimed for maximum havoc. The Strait of Hormuz will de-facto remain closed for the foreseeable future, as tanker crewmen will not be willing to risk their lives. This isn’t just about insurance but the likelihood of being killed doing their jobs.
Oil is already over a $100 a barrel, briefly hitting $118 on the spot market last night. Oil runs the economy, and the economy is showing cracks. The market was down over 1% on Friday and is opening down big again today. People are realizing this war will be severely disruptive and won’t end quickly. If this is still going on by the end of Summer the GOP will be destroyed in November. Rightly so BTW, as it will be seen as an almost unimaginable betrayal by Trump.
All of the wrong people (like Pence and Pompeo) who hated Trump a month ago are now praising him. Doesn’t that give anyone pause? Trump gambled his entire presidency on the desires of people who hate him, have allegiance to a foreign country, or harbor some end times religious fanatic death wish. This is not a Tim Lahaye novel but real life.
God help us and pray that PDJT realizes he was grossly misled. He can declare victory and end this today, having achieved significant military objectives. This regime change stuff is insane and will destroy the rest of his presidency.
I hate to tell you but your post will not age well.
Like you know the future 🙄
About as much as you guys do 🤣🤣
I am Carnac the Magnificent
I tried to read your comments with an open mind but I couldn't get past your assertion that Trump is taking advice from Pence, Pompeo, and Graham. 🤔
It seems more like they are trying to seem relevant than anything else.
Bingo.
🎯
Trump is keeping them relevant. He's campaigning for Graham against a maga opponent.
Yeah, like DJT is just going to throw all his gains out the window and do something completely reckless and foolish. I think not.
Your post simply rearranges the deck chairs.
Who cares if the pernicious club of psyco-journalists and psycho-diplomats is intentionally befogged by censorship of the current Iran situation?
They wouldn't do justice to any form of Truth if they were hit over the head by 2x4
Jeffrey, did you support the Iraq and Afghanistan wars too?
I SUPPORT a new chapter in human thinking.
For me ... 99% of punditry takes us away from how we can REALLY serve the Universe.
How do I define 'punditry' ?
It's people reading stuff that they (we) are not directly living and then making pronouncements.
It's words, words, words.
It's the monkey brain IMAGINING it's godlike
You didn't answer my question.
And you blew by my point
That's not dialog
You want my attention?
Then have the courtesy to build on what I said ... not ignore it
What is your point? What is the new chapter in human thinking? Another endless war in the Middle East?
I think it is safe to say, you supported those moronic wars, but yet, we should listen to your guidance and support this one now too. Great track record.
They never do.
Not fully independent but pulled (and pirated) from multiple sources:
https://datarepublican.substack.com/p/data-analysis-of-the-state-of-the
I just read her OSINT (funny acronym!) Analysis, and it reads well, shows how much of this operation was set up months ago, how the various precedents came together to initiate it, and how well it is going. One particular new data point was Iran's "mosaic defense" every province has a semi independent military command, pre- enabled and directed, which makes it much more difficult to overcome the whole. This explains their attacks on their muslim neighbor states. It also indicates the trajectory of the war, as we systematically take out all 31 of them from our completely controlled airspace. It will take some time, but will get done, i expect.
And Trump was very aware of their structure coming into this. He didn’t blindly follow neocons into this situation unaware of how deeply the levels of Iran’s regime go.
They attacked US assets in those states.
Hotels in Dubai and commercial airports are US assets?
When us troops are there, I guess they consider them to be.
Oh so they would have justification according to your interpretation then to bomb hotels and airports in Germany and Japan too, since we have troops in those places?
Get your own substack column and hurry before everyone who agrees with you starts one. 👋🏽
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I was eating a cracker when I read that and am now choking. Tears. 🤣 Thank you for the belly laugh
Yes! I’m sure someone will appreciate the (ahem) clear eyed objectivity.
They don’t get their own substack because they would have no followers.
We will see how this US/Israel war against Iran plays out. I suspect Jeff C's take will age far better than Mr. Childer's analyses.
Somewhat on a side note about the Ayatollah's son succeeding him, one could do a comparison article about George H. W. Bush and his son, George W. Bush.
Incorrect. Nowhere close to comparable. Khamenei the younger was not elected, as a glaring difference.
I mean true, it's not comparable. The US wasn't being carpet bombed and W's father and most of his extended family wasn't murdered in their own home.
"Carpet bombed". You are seriously going to go with the precision assault against IRGC and Islamist government officials that have been raping, murdering and mowing down the Persian people in the streets? That have been calling for Death to the USA for 47 years?
The Ayatollah was an Islamist. Islamists are not only an enemy of the West, but their own neighborhood. Iran's Islamist regime funded death and destruction. He should have been eliminated decades ago. His son is not a legitimate choice, and is another Islamist, just with less lunatic credentials and more foreign investments. He will need to be removed, and all Mullahs following him until a non-theocratic regime can form. Why is it you naysayers always want parity? Do you WANT to see the US carpet bombed? Do you want DJT killed?
NOT OUR PROBLEM
@Jeff C- Doesn't matter how he was voted in. He's target practice now.
So we just keep killing everyone until the Iranians love us? Do you people seriously believe this?
“…Do you people…”
I rest my case
I thought Trump was against hate speech.
As soon as they find the cavern he's hiding in...
🎯
This period of the ongoing conflict has the highest degree of censorship and mis/dis/this-information in modern history. Add to that, various parties are heavily invested in their agendas such that delusional thinking in the face of compelling evidence is the new normal.
I could type for another hour but who has time…..oh thanks for the idea RJ, maybe I should start my own stack….I mean the frikkin platform seems to want me to!
Please do. We're all going to hang on your every word.
In the meantime, consider that "censorship" is arising from the most central of sources to prevent people like Ilhan Omar from spilling the beans to her co-religionists. Hot takes and fog of war axioms inevitably confuse points along the way.
No idea what you are talking about. “Please do”? GFYS
Start your own stack, your insufferable fool and completely disrespectful coward. Apparently you can't remember what you proposed in your own entry.
Ok class, here is the point where we make an assessment : Do we employ the IGNORE/MUTE/BLOCK feature because of spewing vitriol ….
"He is in power and that is all that matters".
You completely missed the point Jeff C.
@Jeff C. You sure have a lot of concerns about this president. Not the first issue you thought would be the end of him as I recall.
I’m betting the under that Mojtaba Khamenei assumes room temperature before 3/31/26.
Polymarket at 31% this happens.
I think I know what you are alluding to—- and I agree.
Mojtaba was selected because he is the most expendable. Questions are who does the expending, how and when?
Yeah, does the IRCG expend him and then just take over the country 101%?
Reading DataRepublican's stack today enlightened me on the purposely fractured nature of the IRCG command structure.
I think you’re partially correct. I think that there are emerging sectors within the regime that want to eliminate this guy and his supporters. What better way than to name him the boss and let the IDF take him out.
