NYT claims America lost the war; NATO chief thanks Trump on CNN; DOJ investigates LA schools post-Mirabelli; Dr. Oz revokes fraud doc's billing; fertility hits record low. More.
He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or epochs which the Father has fixed by His own authority; but you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth.”
It does pertain to today’s post. Jeff talked about oil. Oil is a symbol of the Holy Spirit. Janice talked about the Holy Spirit. Jeff mentioned Israel which encompasses the land of old which included Judea and the 2 capital cities of Jerusalem and Samaria, Janice mentioned these also. Janice mentioned ‘times and epochs’, Jeff spoke about the NY ‘Times’ and I think Janice was also alluding to the Epoch Times headline from today ‘Fragile ceasefire enters 2nd day as Israel attacks Lebanon, Iran alleges truce violations’.
The times and epochs in the Word refer to the ‘Appointed Feasts of the Lord’, beginning with Passover. Yeshua fulfilled the first 4 in His lifetime. We are now waiting for the last 3 (in the fall) to be fulfilled.
Jeff often likes Janice’s Bible verses so you might want to just scroll on. Many of us have been long time readers and look forward to reading Janice’s daily verses. Many times her posts correspond to what Jeff News talks about.
Yes, she reads the posts. Yes, we like starting with the Word of God. Yes, you can just scroll on and ignore if Bible verses offend you. And, yes, I believe that Mr. Childers approves of Janice’s posts.
I consider it part of daily C a d C. I didn’t mean as Jeff wrote it, or pays for it. But he obviously allows it, as it appears as the first comment always.
I love scripture added when appropriate! But is it ethical to get on someone else’s blog & broadcast your own business?
I honestly don’t mind her posting scripture. But could she thoughtfully read C&C & then come up with a scriptural commentary of why she agrees or disagrees? Not just have a pre written post that she piggybacks on C&C. Maybe think about making it scripturally relevant to the present day post?
Had you been a long time reader you would know that Jeff used to always like and comment on Janice’s verses back when he was smaller potatoes. I honestly don’t know where the man finds the time but she’s been here way longer than I and I’ve been here five years. There is no hijacking going on only community which is sorely lacking in many new “readers” of this blog.
a rule I picked up from a Katharine Hepburn flick.
it helps to ask questions before emptying a shotgun into someone, literally or rhetorically.
Amanda is a longtime reader and staunch supporter of this stack. to assume otherwise and attack her on a false assumption, is not only unseemly but betrays ignorance of the sundamental rules of civil discourse.
Isn't "posting your own opinion" one of the primary reasons these blogposts exist in the first place? Imagine if Jeff posted every day, but didn't allow any comments.
And anyway, by the implication of your first question, YOU just did something unethical.
Amanda is not wrecking my morning. I have also wondered why the scripture is not related to the subject of Jeff's essay. I wouldn't say it's unethical, it's just not the usual way of doing things. Comments on a post should be related to the subject of the post
Oh my goodness! Leave this alone! There is nothing wrong with posting scripture! If the author of this blog, Jeff, was unhappy I believe he would have addressed this issue a long time ago. So apparently if he does not have an issue, if you do, go somewhere else for your daily news!
Who are you to judge when it is or isn’t appropriate? Who made you the morality police here? You’re hijacking comments in the same way you’re accusing her of. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I don’t see you tying in your disapproval of Janice with anything Jeff posted. Lololol
She's not disapproving of Janice, she's making a valid point, which is that Janice's scriptures are not tied to Jeff's subject. I understand that Jeff had a blog in the past that encouraged discussion of Scripture, but this is a column on politics and the workings of government.
You know I've only been here for a little while and always surprised to see Janice's scripture comments not associated with the subject. I get passed them and all others related to get to the actual comments of the post du jour. Is it annoying? Yes somewhat but the posts from Jeff are great and worth this little detour.
Why don't YOU read the post, then come up with a scripture that ties into points made within? Nobody is stopping you. Certainly would be a better expense of energy than criticizing Janice.
In his spare time? Jeff has a life and, I think, a job. Monitoring and responding to or acting on several hundred comments each and every day would be a full-time job.
Well, she got 151 likes, which I've never had, and more than you've gotten today, so Jeff's followers clearly like her posts, and I don't think she has any need for suggestions or criticisms - many people clearly enjoy her posts, and if she's been doing this for 5 years, good chance that Jeff doesn't mind either.
I am glad to be able to relax now knowing you don't "mind" her posting scripture. I rack my brain but can't come up with how quoting scripture is broadcasting one's business.
I agree Amanda....but, she can post whatever she wants, but we can choose if we wish to read them, or scroll past to read comments that pertain to Jeff's post.
Scrolling through hundreds of comments to find the pertinent ones is incredibly time-consuming and confusing. A comment that is not relevant to the post is clutter, even if it is scripture. Also, each of Janice's scripture quotes usually inspires others to quote scripture. More clutter. Why make it hard for people to stay focused on Jeff's funny, informative posts when Christians have so many other ways to access scripture?
Hey Janice, I am a Christian but I am confused why you have the need to post your post on Mr. Childers post? I also don’t see that you have read or commented on his post.
I am wondering if you have any thoughts about the New York Times & his comment “The credibility gap between the New York Times and reality is getting wider than the Strait of Hormuz.” Don’t mean to sound mean, good news of the Word is great! But, why not read his post that you post on your own scripture post? It feels like hijacking to me. I am sure I will get angry nasty comments. But I am truly asking…do you even read Coffee & Covid?
Amen! 🙏🏻. Having read Janice’s health trials and tribulations on her own Substack, I am stunned at the depth of her faith. We should all aspire to that level of not only devotion, but of her efforts to spread the Lord’s word.
I love her posts and we are surely in need of the reminder to have courage in this time of uncertainty in our world. Jeff makes me laugh out loud every day, keeping me sane with a sense of humor and Janice reminds me that we are in good hands after all. Keep the faith.
I'm a past nuclear fizzasst too and I'm here to say, don't you tell anyone what I know better AND don't make me have to prove it. I have a depluma! ... And a log in my...
Nope. Been here for several years. Actually, being unvaccinated & finding C&C in the early part of covid gay me great hope! It was a very difficult time for me standing my ground & C&C helped reinforce I was doing what was right for me.
I read C&C daily. Just like I read scripture. I just don’t understand why she doesn’t comment on C&C daily posts that pertain to what he spends 5 hours writing. You will see that I comment on a regular basis on many people’s comments. I am just asking questions. I am not asking her to stop. I just want to know if she readsC&C or participates in the public discourse?
Yeah but it's NOT "Jeff's scribblings" they're going off on, it's Janice's daily scriptures....was asked a simple question that started a flurry of "who do you think you are" posts! lol...jeeze
Amanda, Do you even read Coffee and Covid? If you have to start your comment with "I am a Christian but..." I'm thinking you may be missing a big point of C&C.
Amanda’s point is right on point. The comments section exists to comment on Jeff’s article. Some folks excuse and rationalize her misbehavior by claiming her content is so valuable and liked that it excuses her brazen and narcissistic conduct. She has no shame.
“Her misbehavior” 🤣🤣🤣 So you’re the self proclaimed morality police? Lolololol Narcissism is flaming in your comment, dearie. Don’t walk past a mirror or you will see your projection.
I disagree. The comments section doesn't ONLY EXIST to comment on Jeff's articles. It is a community forum where commenters support each other, as well as share their reactions to the article.
There is no shame in sharing the Word of God here.
Her content IS valuable, because it is GOD'S CONTENT she is sharing.
Well this is anew take. The comments section created by an author isn’t intended for the authors purposes but exists for anyone to use however they so choose. It’s now a community forum . Sounds just like the antifa anarchists view of private property . Do you realize how absurd you sound?
Well, if it's the author's purposes and invitation for his commenters to be a community and give feedback to each other as well as to him, then it's not a new take. Jeff has given us the freedom to use his comment section in this way.
However, YOUR comment has nothing to do with Jeff's post either, so you are in fact guilty of the exact crime you accuse Janice of. Seems mighty brazen and narcissistic to me.
Absolutely i read C&C! Every day. I even repost for others to hopefully start following him. I am asking a real question. Does she read C&C? I love reading all the comments. I don’t see her commenting on Mr. Childers posts. She just posts her post.
Also, I am a born again Christian that loves the Lord & following his path for over 50 years.
I understand that other discussions happen off of Mr Childers posts. I love to be part of them. But most of the discussions happen because of something he has written. He spends 5 hours for each post & I really appreciate his work. Again, my question is does Janice read & comment on C&C or just use it for posting her own work?
Yes. She does. So do thousands and thousands of others who never even come here to comment. Your harsh judgement of her is more a reveal of the truth of who you are than anything you claim.
Christ beams with pride at Janice’s obedience and faithfulness to spread his good news and truth. A born again Christian would understand that.
We have never heard of you before and prefer it that way. Take your nasty and negative self and go bother an ex husband if anyone was ever willing to marry you in the first place. Jealous hag who is envious of happy Souls and enjoying scripture. Go to BlueSky or any libtard column to get your kicks. You need an enema and an exorcism.
You can block the person, not the individual post. Their comments on the current post won’t disappear, FYI. And I’ve found it takes time for the “block” (you can also mute them) feature to work. But worth the effort. Go to the person’s profile and click the three dots (…) to the upper right to find those options.
No, I did not know that. That's great. (And it's another reason why he doesn't have time to monitor hundreds of comments on his posts every day.) But I don't see how that addresses the point raised by Amanda. He himself does not (that I have seen) insert scripture into his posts about politics and news.
Janice is a daily voice for all of us here to remind us that we must not lose hope for we have Jesus. This is not confusing at all and if you are a Christian as you say you are (have my doubts), then you would understand that uplifting verses from the Bible are food for the Soul, wanted and needed. Our Janice provides that. I am not a good Christian like Janice is so I will tell you to shut your piehole or go elsewhere since her posts vex you so much that you actually had to make a comment about it.
I didn't know that there was an inappropriate time to share God's Word! These words of encouragement have no agenda other than to share the love of God to a lost and hurting world. And is God's Word only to spoken or shared within the four walls of the church? I think not!!! Very sad!
I see Janice's posts as "priming the pump " for the rest of the comments so that the living water of God's word can flow through us and over us. And it's kind of like saying grace, I suppose... Blessing the meal--all the comments and insights that we're about to dive into. 🙏🏼🥩🍖🍗🥓❤️🔥
Lori, I was reading the comments to my hubs, and your comment here made me laugh. Also, please don’t compare your walk with the Lord with anyone else’s, just with the word. 🙏❤️
You are more dear than words can express Janice. You walk the walk and talk the talk while I trip during my walk and babble during my talk. I call it as I see it. I have a lot of catching up and maturing to do in order to have God smile at me as much as he smiles at you! Thank you for your kind words nonetheless!
Janice has shared a daily verse here for at least six years. Most days they even tie nicely with the subject of the day but not always. This is a Christian, family friendly, and mostly conservative newsletter that has many long time readers and supporters (including Janice) who enjoy and appreciate her contribution and form a community of like minded optimists who prefer their news with humor, optimism and humility, to include the word of God. It’s not for everyone but it hurts no one, to include you. If you’re not interested just don’t read it. I don’t always read them but will never complain that they are there as they are evidence that Janice, a truly nice Christian woman, is still among us and doing alright which makes my day.
As stated above, I am just wondering if she just piggybacking posts or does she read his posts & participate in commenting on other posts. I apologize for offending you. I am truly just trying to understand. I too have read her posts at times. I just appreciate Mr. Childers posts & read before I make comments.
As a (retired) conservative pastor, I agree with your comment/question of JP... it doesn't seem relevant to the current topics or conversation in this thread...
So as a "conservative psstor" you don't think scripture, GOD'S word, has revealence in today's world. Glad you are not "active" any longer. Paraphrase..they will teach a form of YESHUA'S teachings and a form of the Great I AM's words but not the truth . HMMMM
As a retired pastor, then, you must certainly remember that the 50 days between passover and pentecost was a difficult time for the disciples. We are in that time now, and it is not inappropriate to remind us of the blessings that await us.
@Lori- like our former pastor who told me our granddaughter had no right to be born because her parents weren't married. If only he could see her now (he's dead so it doesn't matter); 26, married with a house and two babies, working on her second Masters degree. Yeah. A real screw up in life.
Long timers know there has long been a race to be first to comment. For Janice she is often first. I dont know her reasons but that may enlighten some. as i recall she posts then reads the post……
RevMike, (and many others) if the author of the blog, Jeff, hasn't stipulated he want's comments only relating to his post, then off topic posts are acceptible. It is easy to block posters that you don't want to see. Look for the three dots ( ...) at the end of the post on the right.
Perhaps you folks that are unhappy should spend more time learning the culture of this blog before challenging it. Saying "Who is this person is. I've never heard of her." reflects a need to do just that.
Funny, the few times Jeff mentioned the Comments section it was his invitation to comment on his theories. I don’t recall him saying just use my comments section for whatever purpose you desire.
Amanda truth is what cc is all about! If you are a Christian….the Word is the ultimate Truth - as much as I love Jeffs words and posts and have been here since almost the beginning… Janice’s posts from the Word give us all far more truth than Jeff’s - we have been here for optimism and hope -conventional blog and army this is not!! Please study Ephesians if you can’t see her critical relevance here 💪🙏🏻
We all have a faith system that we follow .. maybe that’s the government system perhaps it’s Buddhism - you are either with the Lord Jesus or you are not- which is of the opposite side. You can place your faith in Jesus and see Him as the ultimate truth and authority or choose a false one outside of that. There is only one truth - whether our humanism likes that answer or not
Isn't interesting that you stated "If you are a Christian...the Word is the ultimate Truth". May I ask what if you are not a Christian; what is the truth?
I don't take offense to Janices posts, I skip past them and focus on today's C&C content! Sometimes it take a bit of scrolling, I just happened to catch this comment by Jamie.
That is the question, isn’t it? If you’re not a Christian where do you get your truth? What is your plumb line? Mere men. Who selfishly only care about themselves, their own glory and their own wealth and priviledge.
The Bible is a plumb line. Look up how and why carpenters use a plumb line to build a house, and note what happens when they don’t use one. That’s the perfect analogy for building a life without a plumb line.
In an ocean of chatty men all trying to make truth for others that match their feewings and comfort, the Word of God cuts through all that confusion and gives us sound logic and reasoning and truth to rely on, a benchmark from which to sound off of.
You can choose to follow ungodly wisdom found in the secular world, but you can’t complain at the end of the line when it leads you over a cliff to something you never would have wanted.
The worst that can happen by my choosing to follow the truth in God’s Word is I live a good life putting others before myself, and at least go into whatever thereafter there is with a less selfish spirit.
But if the Bible is indeed the Word of God, the worst that can happen for not choosing it as my truth is literal eternal damnation. Geez, that makes it something worthy of being damn sure about first when choosing where to get my truth.
It’s a logical argument I apply to a nonbeliever who argues that there’s no proof the Bible is God’s actual Word (not true … there is … but for purposes of argument,) so how can one know what theology or philosophy to follow? How can they be blamed for not choosing God? What’s there to lose? This logic is for those who feel they have nothing to lose by not choosing God, not realizing they have an eternity to lose.
It is not the logic I use for myself because I have researched all the evidence and chose God, which took me a step further and allowed me to actually feel and interact with the Holy Spirit. I can never deny what I have experienced, I choose God because he is real, and Jesus was indeed His son and did defeat death. Knowing that, I can rely on everything the Bible says as being the absolute Truth, the Word of God.
Moral codes can be had my anyone, Christian or not, based on their “morals”. Satanists have a moral codes, they are just not ones I would consider very moral at all. So when I want to know what morals are indeed virtuous, I look to the Bible. When it conflicts with my feelings, I change my thinking so my feelings align with God’s because I choose Him over the ramblings of man.
If a person does not attend a church, it is still possible to be a good person who follows Christian principles. I'm hearing a lot of outrage from the professed Christians here directed at people who are not Christian enough in THEIR opinion. And they call others judgmental and narcissistic.
And as a dark soul who hates God and Jesus, it would grate on you so much you would feel a need to complain about its presence and try to silence it. The demons reveal themselves.
Well... comments of whatever kind don't "hijack" anything. Everyone is free to ignore anything they don't appreciate... as are you. You - however - want to "police" the forum under the guise of "I'm doing it for the good of the forum." Sound familiar???
Janice brings us the word of God every morning, and for many of us it's a blessing. For those who question it, well, you're free to continue scrolling.
I was thinking yesterday I may have to give up reading the comments maybe beyond Janices daily scripture. But I did want to say that while waiting for CNC today until my day blew up I figured out how to do this!
⬅️ 😂 # changed my circle. I don’t even know what it’s called lol
Ah it seems like the demons have infested C&C complaining about any reference to Jesus, God or the Bible. They claim in the first words that they are Christian yet do not want to hear about Christ. Hmmm. They all have their little narratives that are very familiar. Don’t acknowledge the demons. That’s what they want. Engagement. If they were true Christians they would turn the other cheek and move on instead of criticizing. By their fruits you shall know them.
Wow!! I am being called a demon for asking questions? I pray for you. I am so sorry that I offended you. God bless you. I am praying for you to be blessed by our Lord Jesus Christ.
Amanda, I also wonder about that every day as I READ C&C, slowly, savoring it.
I'm sincerely happy to see sharing of Scripture, but since I don't know JanIce, as the individual God created, I skip it. I lkke to know a bit anout mh sources id all. Maybe we are not her audience, though...
I think of communication and receptivity and "time and place." When I'm praying and reading God's Word, I set aside earthly cares. So personally, I ignore Janice's daily choice of transcription.
I love the Lord, and His Word is a lamp unto my feet. I do not think your question is rude or out-of-bounds, it is simply honest.✌🏻
“But what does it matter? The important thing is that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached. And because of this I rejoice.”
Christ is risen! The King of Glory lives in us. It is His endless mercy that gives me life and the precious knowledge that He loves me with an Everlasting Love.
Thank you. I savor scripture too and also love C&C with my morning coffee. For awhile I kept trying to understand how her scripture tied into his daily post. Many times it does. I just realized she wrote it ahead of time so she isn’t commenting on his post.
At least she isn't doing self free advertising for her own sub stack or web site or even her book and there's no news more important or worth shouting than the GOSPEL GOOD NEWS. Better than Jeff. Thankfully these two are both encouraging and supportive of one another. Best days are when everyone piles on with Praise to God Alone.
Bread cats are when swype changes words after you've seen they were as you thought they were.
Love you Janice! These trolls are servants of the dark Lord trying to silence you and using manipulative reasoning to do it. Don’t stop! Quote harder and louder every day!! We are here for you and thankful for you.
Replying here above the trolling to point out that it is mostly trolling. Subtle, but it is what it is. Act accordingly (mute/block seems an effective tool).
Again we see the double-standard against Christians.
The Word is always the absolute most relevant truth. Jeff’s optimism hope and blog wouldn’t be here at all without that Fact! If u r inspired by Jeff and his words and truth pursuit you can thank the Bible for that - seek it too!! God bless🙏🏻
We ALL are in desperate need of Truth & that Truth comes from the BIBLE. I for one & dare I say hundreds of us C&C faithfuls are in complete & full support of Janice - Words Beyond Me We ♥️you Janice & that you keep us pointed towards Jesus.
"Albert Pike had promised his Masonic allies in Europe that they would have three world wars to consolidate the world power of the Canaanites. We have now seen two of those world wars, and, as promised, the first world war was to set up a Communist regime, the second world war was to raise it to the status of a world power, and the third world war is planned to destroy both Communism and Christianity in a great orgy of annihilation. This coming war is intended to be the final death knell of the people of Shem; after its conclusion the Canaanites will reign unchallenged throughout the world."
You know how many people comment here SOLELY to promote their own stack? And they actually provide links to their stacks, sometimes several in a single comment. If you're going to criticize Janice than I would expect those people to receive harsher criticisms. Otherwise you're singling Janice out, which is odd.
Please stop spamming the comment section every day with bible verses that have absolutely NOTHING to do with the article. I pray you get over your narcissism
Well aren't you an ahole trying to harsh our mellow. Won't work. You are an instrument of demons and there is no place for you here. We will shun you to keep your negativity and evil intentions away. Best you find the good book and start reading. Fill your Soul (if it is at all redeemable at this point) with the goodness and love of God. Then perhaps good people will be willing to be around you or entertain your comments. Next.
Please stop spamming the comment section with your complaints. Will you? No? Then you will be blocked. See how that works? We don’t police each other by scolding, we block to remove that which offends us.
I get deeply offended by some commenters and I can block them to keep from having them ruin my comment experience.
Over the past 6 years there has definitely been lines drawn to either willingly take in podcasts or posts or the opposite, disconnect from them. The key is truth, conservative people long for the truth. We know without the truth the wrongs will not be made right, we will see no change. Even with the facts being brought out, people may have been driven from their jobs, but still no one has paid the price, no one has been brought to justice.
When someone automatically goes to name calling or saying maybe this show is not for you, or the tried and true “you’re a nazi”, “you’re a racist”, or “you’re a fascist”, I immediately look at that person with a critical eye, and think they have lost the argument. In most cases, at that point, I just turn them off for good.
In the type of system we live in, a republic, it’s our responsibility to question and be critical, to not believe everything they say, especially after all the lies we’ve been told. It’s become so in your face that government and people of wealth and power could care less about thousands, hundreds of thousands or even millions of people becoming sick or worse dying, you’d have to be a mushroom not to see it. They are open about their distain for us, their elite persona that the middle class and the poor are their worthless pawns.
People like myself want to listen or read others that are genuine, truthful and have integrity. In these times a good gauge is when we see people that were willing to put their necks on the chopping block to tell you the truth in a story, chances are there’s something there. All of the Covid “conspiracy theories” turned out to be true, and we knew it. The people like yourself Jeff that stepped forward to protect peoples rights even at the risk of harming your own career are people we can count on. I question all people that had no discernment about this. Maybe it’s the money, maybe it was the prestigious job, I don’t know, maybe they are just evil. What I do know is my appetite for news, entertainment and who I spend my time listening to is based on people I believe are truthful and genuine.
Covid should have taught everyone to not take for granted what the mainstream is putting on the table. Just look at the viewership of liberal cable news networks and newspapers, they are dying on their poisoned lying vine. The real reason the Soviet Union fell was that the large majority of Russians stopped believing all the governments lies. Personally I’m sick and tired of being constantly lied to. J.Goodrich
We also have to be careful not to project all our mistrust and anger onto this president and wrongly assume he is lying to us just because all who came before him did. I see people swinging between extremes. Yes question things, but be careful being convinced someone is lying simply because you’re so angry with prior administrations for doing so. That anger is blinding people and they are refusing to look at “results” and instead trying to represent everything Trump says as a lie.
and speaking of COVID, Jeff forgot to mention that the jabs are also a leading reason people are not able to have kids - my niece (fully jabbed) has had 4 miscarriages
You told why you want the truth when you stated that you are conservative. Leftists like being lied to. This is an indisputable fact. After years of proof that the media just makes up lies to tell us, they still take it as gospel. It isn't new, the democrats intentionally exploit the vacuous stupidity of their voters. This is from google's gemini when asked about "gruber on obamacare":
AI Overview
Jonathan Gruber, an MIT economist, was a key technical consultant and modeling expert for the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare), often referred to as one of its architects, who became the center of a major controversy in 2014 following the release of videos where he made disparaging remarks about the American voter and discussed strategies for passing the law.
Controversial Remarks and "Gruber-gate" (2014)
"Stupidity of the American Voter": In various 2013–2014 speeches, Gruber suggested that the "stupidity of the American voter" and a "lack of transparency" were critical to passing the ACA.
Intentional Deceit/Strategy: He remarked that the law was deliberately written in a "tortured" way to ensure the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) would not score the individual mandate as a tax, which he argued was necessary for passage.
Exploiting Lack of Understanding: He stated that healthy people paying in to support sick people would not have passed if it were made explicit, suggesting the bill’s complexity was designed to hide this, and that the "Cadillac tax" on high-end plans passed because voters did not understand it.
Can we through anger or disgust get a better world to live in? We are individually responsible for how we conduct ourselves. We can’t control what the world around us does. We can only do what is in our power to do.
Like the AA prayer says, God grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the Courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference.
The Bible says there was a Fall and since then the Father of lies has been the master of this world. We, who worship the one true God, are insurrectionists, who through the power of the Holy Spirit fight in our own little corners. Some are given much larger territories for which to fight. But always there is the fight. We were never promised a Rose Garden in this fallen world, just assistance in the fight.
The apostle (St. Paul) said “ I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.”. Philippians 4:12
Feeling angry and depressed about the conditions of this world is a waste of time and energy, which is just what the enemy wants. Don’t give it to him.
We have eight children. We decided before we were married (34 years ago) that we would take however many children God wanted us to have. My mother-in-law would tell us, "The future belongs to the fertile." When people made the (expected) snide comments (you know what causes that right?), we would throw that line of hers at them, then add our own: "And we're into world domination!" 😁
One time I was in a grocery store and saw a young-ish woman and two little boys. The boys were 2-3 yrs and both seated in the cart. I asked “Are these your boys?” and her face turned grey as she said “yes” to me. I remarked about how cute and sweet they seemed, complimenting her. Her face brightened and I asked her why she was initially concerned at my question. She said many people berate her for having her children!!! I was literally shocked and reassured her I wasnt in that ‘tribe’ and expressed how sorry I was and then again how beautiful her kids were. I think I was in California at the time. So gross that people would express that negativity to a woman while with her own kids!!!
Stay in a good Bible teaching, believing church community and avail yourself of all it has to offer and you will avoid being exposed to all that ugliness.
I raised four excellent children that way and I have 15 grandchildren, who are thriving on this formula in spite of this crazy world.
Good for you! My boyfriend’s parents came from large families and he has 28 first cousins. I have one. My uncle just passed, childless. My brother has no children. My ex-husband’s brother had no children. So many branches of the family tree ending in stubs. 😫. I have two sons and I just hope I live long enough to see them married and with families of their own.
My late husband and I had 2 children. We wanted more but God knew our life’s story and we only had 2, I had 1 miscarriage at 13 weeks. My wonderful husband died at age 47 of a very rare disease. At that point we had one in college, and the younger just starting his senior year in high school. On my income as a RN it would’ve been difficult to put 2 more through college without the primary income of my husband. I finally understood why we didn’t have more children…God knew how our life would unfold. He is good, all the time.
I went into marriage with the same attitude. I thought my spouse shared it, but after our 4th his father had implanted enough fear in him that he got himself fixed.
The happiest years of my life were having and raising those babies.
The first one is for learning, all that follow are pure joy. The older ones entertain and help raise the younger ones. I have a beautiful family and we are expecting the 15th of my grandchildren in June. We have so much fun, when we all get together and enjoy sharing regularly all the triumphs and we lean on each other in times of trial.
My husband and I also said we'd leave our family size up to God. We have 7 children, aged 7 to 19. It hasn't been easy, but it was definitely worth it, and I would do it again. And so far, the teenagers seem to have good common sense about things.
Psalms 127: 3-5 Children are the heritage of the Lord and the fruit of the womb is His reward. As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man, so are the children of the youth. HAPPY is the man who has his quiver full of them! They shall NOT be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies at the gate.
*I think the people who spoke at the gates of cities were considered to be honorable and discerning, and thus were relied upon to negotiate (say, whether strangers should be allowed to come into the city) and they were also granted the power to determine whether fighting was needed. So…
The HPV vaccine has probably played a large part in the decline in fertility. There was a study that showed women who had at least one HPV shot were only 60% at likely to have given birth as women who had not gotten a shot. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29889622/
John Leake, affiliated with Dr. Peter McCullough, has been writing hit pieces regarding Trump’s handling of the war for days.
I commented with a link to C&C, saying C&C has a far better assessment of the situation than Leake’s and to please read back several days for a better overall view.
Dr. McCullough liked my comment.
I must admit to having a fangirl moment. I have the utmost respect for Dr. McCullough.
John should go back to medical reporting. He's better at that and has a much clearer view with medical. His overall bias (TDS shows itself) reveals itself clearly in his political writing.
Just like Jeff should go back to covid reporting. He is way in over his head on geopolitics. Anyone who supported the iraq war should be sitting back and listening right now, not cheering us into another disaster.
Lol! Robert Malone ‘liked’ a comment I had posted and ya I did the same and fanned girled 😂 when I was in an elevator with Robert Malone and Corey Pierre I just stood there. Didn’t say a work. My husband was shocked 😂by my silence
I have commented too but never gotten a like(!) from Dr McC. but then, I really tell it "like it is". . . with examples and facts that neither John or Dr McC. appreciate much, I suppose. I allowed my subscription to lapse. . . just got fed up with the unrelenting TDS they both have exuded lately.
Well, I miss you over there. I was abt to hit ‘unsubscribe’ but decided to woo the other seemingly exasperated ones over here to the LIGHT RIGHT side. We have candy! No, we have hope and better insight, and a fearless leader who somehow reads 59 papers a day or who really knows his way around AI.
I plan to hang around as long as I can stand it— and hopefully Dr. McCullough and Leake will become more hopeful as well.
Maybe you guys should read the room. It is becoming increasingly hard to find people who support this monumental mistake in Iran. You are in a small minority. We don't have TDS - you guys are being willfully ignorant.
Panicking over each individual action is absurd. Sometimes his decisions do not make immediate sense to me. But, do I go hog wild whining & crying that the sky is falling? No. Watching to see the overall plan take shape and then seeing connections that appeared only once the full hand is dealt is educational. This is why TAW.
I called this from the get go - boots on the ground, mission creep, deaths of soldiers, and a lot of taxpayer money to be wasted. I've been proven right. We have gained nothing and lost a lot through this idiotic action. That could change of course, but the outlook is not good....
Who knows how real this "war" even is? What they show us of "bombings" etc seem CGI or AI and I just can't bring myself to believe even half of it. Standing on the rug is always a choice, I choose not to.
KC & the Sunshine, Patti and Monterey - "FanGirl" here too! Being stuck in an elevator with the Medical FREEDOM WARRIORS/HEROES below would be WONDERFUL so we could give them BIG HUGS and THANK THEM personally for their COURAGEOUS, SACRIFICIAL, COMPASSIONATE, BRILLIANT efforts during the past 6 years!
Hmmm… That had not occurred to me— although that would mean he has a commenter aboard, using his name? And he is affiliated with Leake, who lists him at the bottom of the page.
Trump could save a litter of puppies and a litter of kittens from a burning building and completely put out the fire himself with a bucket, but nothing will ever be enough for the left or the MSM. Their TDS is what drives them. It's all emotion, zero facts with those people.
Yes, it’s rampant on X. Podcasters like Tucker, Owens, M. Kelly to name just a few, go out of their way to blame everything on Israel. Just listen to Tucker Carlson’s take on the book of Esther. Completely dishonest reading. It’s a short book, I’ve read it multiple times & was floored at his effort to use it to blame Jews for genocide. Also, there’s lots of money to be made as a hateful, lying mouthpiece on social media. Sadly, so many look at the world & want to fix blame for everything wrong on a particular group - opening up their hearts & minds to hate. And clueless to it all.
I agree. It helped me greatly to find Jonathan Cahn and his commentary in this “phenomenon”. I have great respect for Jonathan.
It’s disheartening to hear Tucker and Megan speak about this, and as for Candace, it seems she has gone around the bend. It’s a shame because her videos on vaccines are spot on. I hate to think people are
tossing the baby with the bath water, yet Candace is increasingly soaking herself in nasty bath water these days.
Not when tiny Israel (the size of New Jersey) is being constantly bombarded with rockets and missiles, grabbing their children and running to shelters and safe rooms multiple times a day. They are in a life or death fight for existence. Who criticizes at such a time?
04/09/26: This is RIDICULOUS. No one can "infiltrate" a stack. Whomever you have in mind is RIGHT OUT IN THE OPEN just like everyone else. They are employing their First Amendment rights. Just the way you and I are. If you don't like what you see, block the sender. Compounding paranoia is self-defeating. Arrest yours before its too late.
I've had to take the unfortunate action of blocking those profiles. Used to be different here in the comments, but has slid towards being more X like and I avoid X at all costs.
The more readers here block these manipulative commenters the more they will be screeching in an empty field with no one to listen to them. That’s the BEST consequence for their insanity and deceitfulness.
I have friends who have anti-Jew fever. These are intelligent people but the 'cabal' and the Ashkenazi and Sephardic discussion on who is a real Jews is bizarre and spooky. I push back when I hear Israel shouldn't exist asking how can they reconcile this with their relatives taking land from the Native Americans in the 1700s?
I’m studying Joshua RN and it’s right in there where his gave this portion of land to the Jews, and it’s also right there— talking abt where Josh messed up and how we wound up still having these… infidels among them and why the middle east is so screwy.
God has given them the land and it will only thrive under their care.
Mark Twain found it to be a barren wasteland in the late 1800s.
The Zionist brought back Jews and they made it bloom as prophesied by Isaiah. Then the Arabs saw, were consumed with jealousy and demanded it be given to them.
In 2005, Gaza was a green and thriving place. In response to the horrid Oslo Accords, the Israeli government agreed to remove all Jews and turn it over to Arabs. (For that I will criticize the Israeli government of that day. They have their own history of times of idiotic Leftists’ rule; and their own traitors within)
The Arabs in Gaza proceeded to wreck all the Jews had created and dig tunnels and amass military equipment to prepare to attack and kill all the neighboring Jews. Only now is anything green appearing in Gaza again.
And here we are, following the barbaric massacre of October 7.
I love the analogy example of a story that if Trump got out of a boat and walked across water to save someone from drowning. The next day the headlines would read, “Trump can’t swim.”
It is not emotion Cynthia. Emotion is at least honest. What we see from MSM & globalists is delusion and plotting - when they ALL have the same damn message; clips can be played of different voices repeating the same damn script. We finally saw it in the open during convid when we all had so much time on our hands and were not distracted by our daily grind. https://youtu.be/ksb3KD6DfSI?si=GYvVo4BKN_rMX27y
The leftists, indoctrinated & deluded (they are very good at deluding themselves) those listening on the level below the pundits refuse to see the puppeteer pulling the strings of his puppets they adore. You could show them and they will refuse to see it. We tend to dismiss them as we see them as uninformed and misguided. They are the ones who react with emotion. They have been trained to react with emotion and have not been taught to think critically. They are dangerous; they are irrational, fanatical, some are deranged; those are the ones trying to ram law officers with vehicles and taking shots. They are legion - and they do react off delusion, anger and hate.
04/09/26: True. He Gets Zero Credit. Elsewhere, “BRICS. BRICS is making a new digital payment system. BRICS is adding more member countries. BRICS is having another swanky conference and the U.S. isn’t invited…”
China is too busy sh*t*ng BRICS to pay much attention to anything else lately, although they have Godzilla-stomped on Panama’s ships (“That isn’t getting any results! Time to open another can of ‘Wuhan Whoopie!”).
Gardasil shots, given to teens, also cause infertility.
Seeing lots of “unexplained infertility” currently diagnosed. Covid shots were never implicitly tested for fertility but 80% of pregnant women in the trials lost their babies.
I’m seeing many young couples trying to get and remain pregnant right now. They are desperate for a baby.
Well, considering the unemployment rate among young people is horrifying and a record number of them are living at home with their parents, you can't blame them for not having babies. All the jobs are still be taken by foreigners -- both legal and illegal. Until that's fixed, optimism will be low and the birth-rate even lower. Just the facts.
My son and his fiancé together make about $95k a year. The rent on their modest apartment is $2300. They have no debt and live frugally. This year, after they get married in June, they are moving to Florida. My son’s job is remote. Hers is replaceable. They are moving to try to find a place where they can afford to raise a family. WA state has failed them.
I’m stuck here. My career is WA law specific. I have a serious disability and WA is a rare area where specialists are located. I am devastated to lose my kids. But they have to be able to thrive.
I'm sorry you are stuck there. My wife and I sold off everything and retired in 2024 and moved away. I still have a son there who is also "job stuck", but he and his wife have no kids, so they are in no hurry to leave.
At least the scenery is nice. And the blue hang tag ensures I can get a nice parking spot at the visitor center, though I try to leave those open for folks who struggle more than I currently do. My job can be done remotely if need be. A couple of my key care givers may be irreplaceable in other places. When I moved here in 2003 I had no idea this was a hot spot for specialists in my genetic disorder. It still took 16 years to find them.
That’s a great thought. But Florida and I do not do well together. The heat literally scrambles my brain. Part of my disability is a very wonky autonomic system with a side of what is going on with your brain chemistry?! I went to HS in Fort Myers and College in St. Pete. Then I went to Upstate SC then Puget Sound. I might have to move to Dutch Harbor, AK next.
I am forlorn to hear this. It will be difficult to not be near the kids:{. You will just have to take a lot of trips and earn frequent flyer miles! All the best to you Emily.
Blessings on their marriage and moving to Florida. Hope they have conservative values and not awful liberal views. Florida is red and they plan to keep it that way.
Covid red pilled them and all of their friends. In hyper blue WA all the Gen Z I know vote red. They ‘graduated’ in 2020 with no prom and no graduation. And no prospects. My 24 year old son can count more dead classmates than ones who’ve successfully launched.
I wish them well. Live in FL. It’s not cheap, but way better than blue states (no state income tax, no inheritance tax, a growing movement to eliminate property tax on primary residence). One of my son’s lives with his wife in NYC (job req). Their rent is over $4k a month for a small 1br, taxes are insane, and they refuse to start a family there. Hoping they are able to move here before long!
Time was people didn’t run the numbers to see if they could get married and have kids. People had faith that God would provide. I was number 8 in my family. We would be considered dirt poor by much of the world and if my folks lived like people live today, I certainly wouldn’t be here. And I’m glad to here for 75 years now.
I understand what you’re saying. I’ve got grandchildren navigating today’s waters. But at some point, people need to resist these chains and just ‘step out in faith’ that if they make the leap, God will catch them.
My kids are Christian, a choice they made for themselves as adults. My son grew up in a faith based household but is a bull headed guy. He cannot be coerced or cajoled into anything. He and his buddies called BS on covid before the propaganda machine was even out of the gate. He watches, thinks, judges and makes choices. When he asked his dad to buy him a Bible like the one we use at home, his dad and I both cried for joy and thanked the Lord.
They aren’t living high. Ok fourth floor walk up apartment in a lower middle class neighborhood. Thrift stores. Food made from scratch at home. Shared car. Good income and struggling mightily.
They yearn for authenticity. They want a traditional family. She wants to be stay at home and homeschool. They can’t do that on the left coast.
I would feel the same way they do. Why work so hard when you can go elsewhere and afford to eat out here and there and have a better
life. We have family who used to live in Cali. His salary was around $15,000/mo but their rent on a teeny home, gas, food, etc. made it all disappear. They wanted to save to buy a house and have kids without having to have the wife’s income, so they moved here.
I have a cousin in NYC. She has her dream job with EsPN or something— but can only afford rent because of some weird subsidy. She would love
to ditch having g roommates at her age but she can’t— if she stays.
I confess I don’t know how these things work, but I wonder if cutting down on governmental fraud would help retain/grow Social Security’s coffers?🤷🏻♀️
From what I understand, SS used to be self-supporting. They invested our money wisely, and we got it back upon our retirement. Then (supposedly the dems, but I suspect the repubs, too), they saw hoh much $ was in the coffers and decided they just couldn't leave their grubby hands off of it.
I am hopeful that somewhere in the next couple of years, Trump and friends will figure out how to make it solvent again.
SS was sufficient providing there were enough working contributors to every SS receipient. As we now live longer the ratio is far from sufficient.
GROK estimates it takes 22-23 workers to cover each SS receipient.
Congress 'borrowed' from the SSI trust fund which resulted in taxpayers repaying those 'IOUs'. It is a kind of Ponzi scheme where those paying in today fund those receiving the benefits.
I didn’t say it isn’t elsewhere; however, so far it is predominantly in “social uplift” & I don’t believe that’s a government function anyway. And defense IS a government function.
I think teaching a person to fish is better than giving a fish. I’m not big on social programs TBH they’re extremely abused. The very ones needing it are not the ones receiving it. As evidence by…. All around us! Also NO skin in the game. It doesn’t ever work out. Am I against helping? NO but it’s gotta be different. No I do not have the answer but what is happening is not working
There are studies that show that churches and non-profit donations go up as taxes go down. They need to leave the donations to us. But again, tax money is so easy for them to steal.
The answer, Patti, is in scripture, which Janice Powell aka Words Beyond Me, has posted probably the exact ones during these past years, which is that this is the Church’s responsibility, not the World/government’s. If your church is not doing these things, look further for one that does or be the “teacher of fishing.” I could quote scripture but I would be accidentally “hijacking this substack” and I would not want to do that. I am a rules following personality.
And you are right. What we have is not working nor planned to work as presented to We The People.
Have you noticed that many programs of social uplift are frauds? Who did the Learing Center help? But AWFLs just love to hide behind virtue signaling fig leaves.🙄
The comment I was responding to was about Social Security, which is a self-funded project now under severe attack, not about learing centers or fish provision.
But the highest cost in the budget, after the Pentagon, is for the Wall Street bailouts, and for the interest on past debts for war and bailouts.
If you'd rather pay a banker for his third mansion than pay retired people living expenses, I don't know what to say.
A nation spending trillions of dollars on supposed ‘social uplift’ that actually creates a corrupt and decadent populace, approached and achieved spiritual doom sometime ago, that now we have to fix.
I once saw pictures, video of civil rights leaders taking mules and wagons to the sites of space exploration back in the day to protest expenditures on the space program and demand it be used for social programs instead.
Good point. I also wonder if getting people off disability who aren’t truly disabled would help. I’m not an expert but I’ve come across a few cases in my work to make me think that this might be another huge pile of fraud that needs to be checked out.
It was disappointing that Congress wouldn’t go along with not taxing Social Security in the Big Beautiful Bill. But I was greatly helped by the extra deduction given to seniors. I paid a lot less this year.
like chicken soup - can't hurt but I have seen reports of hundreds of millions going to illegals and other fraudsters so the answer to you question is a big yes
They can’t tell you what a woman is. They believe they were born in the “wrong body”, yet they desperately desire to obtain woman parts — or man parts, and a different body.
I think it would be easier to give them hormones that match the body parts with which they arrived.
And if you can’t tell us what a woman is, how do you know that having woman bits will make you feel whole?
Jeff, will you please cover the status of restoration of Religious Exemption in states like NY and CA? To best describe the perspective of my question, I am in CT and wrote the following letter to a working committee looking at this issue in my state:
Dear Director Bush and Members of the Religious Liberty Commission,
I hope this letter finds each of you well. My family lives in Connecticut where our right to Religious exemption cut off our youngest child from the schools his four older siblings attend. While they were grandfathered with existing REs, Felix was shut out of public and private schools in Connecticut and even most camps and after school style care.
If he were a shy retiring child, this would be no problem. I have been happy to homeschool him and we completed his kindergarten and 1st grade years here at home together. He has learned to read (my pride and joy!) and followed an online math curriculum to keep abreast of our local schools. We are part of a homeschool science “pod” and he takes French and piano lessons. By the grace of God, we have gotten by well. I am so grateful that my husband and I can afford to make the choices we have to protect and educate our son. I have a dear friend who was forced, for financial reasons, to vaccinate her little boy so he can attend school. In my mind, that is barbaric, a failure of every public institution involved.
Sadly, although I have been able to provide a good education for him, Felix has a dream to ride the school bus to school and be part of a classroom with a lot of students his age and a “real” teacher.
It has been no small heartbreak navigating this wish as we dodged school buses on the road (the sight of children his age getting on or off school buses is very unsettling for felix) while I fielded his questions about when he can go to school like his sisters and brother.
He has been so confused trying to sort out if he isn’t old enough or maybe not tall enough or … could there be something else lacking about himself? I hear his thoughts through his carefully formulated questions and do my best to distract him with happier things. Many times, after driving his sister to school we see a bus ahead on the road … those times, I dart into a lane to park at the dead end, and try to not cry while we wait for the coast to clear.
I have never shared with him the true reason why he cannot go, that I will not allow anyone to inject his arms with vials of things i know are poisonous and ethically wrong. I would sooner take him to be slapped across the face by a stranger or to have vials suctioned OUT of him than allow a vaccine to be injected into him.
Yes, some very sad moments have come to Felix and I from the careless act of ct legislators. I am not bitter. I think I understand what they were trying to do but I also see how misguided they were in their assumptions regarding vaccines and the impact of their decision on Connecticut families.
We are prepared to homeschool for however many years are necessary but … the work of your group gives me hope! I have had hope before, various court cases that have failed and rumors that float around in the homeschool and medical freedom communities. I have written many letters and attended rallies and prayed diligently.
I am not counting on your ability to change things for Felix but I cannot help but hope. And with that hope, I write to you now. Please, with whatever resources in your power, fight to restore religious exemptions in the state of Connecticut.
I am always available to you to share my experiences and thoughts.
"I have a dear friend who was forced, for financial reasons, to vaccinate her little boy so he can attend school. In my mind, that is barbaric, a failure of every public institution involved." That is such an eloquent statement. Again, the poor suffer the beliefs forced down from above. Dr. Christina Park (molecular biologist)testified the highly educated weren't getting the vaxxed because they understood the risks and the poor don't because they know they don't understand the risks. It was an interesting proposition. She also believes males of African heritage are more likely to be harmed by vaxxes against diseases that weren't organic to the continent. It is an interesting hypothesis and makes sense.
The concept that the poor don't understand the risks is incredibly arrogant and dismissive.
Even the poorest people in this country have access to the internet, which is exactly where those of us "highly educated" get our information.
In fact, I am fairly sure that you would find vaxx uptake was highest in those with more education/higher income/high status, since loss of that status would have been much more devastating and influential to those people. It's the same reason why those high status folks tend to swallow the Current Narrative™; going against the prevailing establishment thought regimentation is much riskier for them.
this wasn't my comment but her opinion. (It is actually Dr. Parks- my mistake.) I am fairly educated but I don't understand complex medical jargon. Someone who is a trained scientist might but not the average person. This was her testimony where I found the city council very dismissive of her. Go into 6:50 https://youtu.be/hIjDV1Np9qQ?si=t4LaA0oCypuP4zyy
Tell him the truth. Why allow him to keep thinking there is something wrong with him?
I'm 57, and my bf will not marry me. I have gone over every reason possible, and have determined there is something wrong with me. Am I too short? Too outspoken? Not pretty enough? Everything is MY fault about this, even though he insists it isn't. He wont tell me, so the easiest course is to blame myself: i'm just not good enough to be his wife.
If *I* am doing this as a 57-yr-old, what do you think lying to your son is doing to him and his future? You're being silly/ridiculous/selfish imo.
Your child is much safer at home. I homeschooled my two all the way through. We did co-op classes and attended a church with many homeschooling families. Go on lots of fun field trips and remind him that it's so much more fun to go to the zoo, the library or other fun places any time you want instead of having to sit in a classroom all day long. Tell him there are a lot of mean kids in school and find other homeschooling families. Read the book "Onto the Yellow School Bus and Through the Gates of Hell." You will never again have a sad moment about him not being in that toxic environment. There are so many ways to make homeschooling fun. I consider it the best thing you can ever do for your children. We had a lifestyle of learning. I never replicated a school environment, I just found ways to nurture their love of learning instead of killing it like most schools do. Most people called what we did "unschooling." My 30-somethingyo children are both very smart and fun people who still enjoy being around their parents. 😉
I agree. Explain it to your son. He’s smart enough to understand. Relieve him of thinking there is something wrong with him. Let him know there is so much wonderful about him that you will not let anyone harm him.
Jeff, while I still read C&C every single day, I unfortunately usually have to skip the comments. Are commenters reading the posts? Many are such black pilled downers . There were always a few, but now the comment section is overrun with NYT narrative.
I used to love the comments and went through it religiously and clicked every link. So informative and civilized. Sad.
You are vile, and you should be spending your time on that vile site that you frequently refer people to as if it were authoritative. You're just here to cause trouble.
Most are paid Bots sent to sites like this that report truths rather than lies.
Sites like Coffee and Covid attract many, many people seeking reality news and when the lower political party in this country finds out about it, they flood these paid "bone heads" to come here are create division amongst us sane folks.
It sucks of course that these "bone heads" lack their supposed humanity and resort to lying for a living.
Times are hard and these "bone heads" clearly aren't qualified for any real job that requires a brain.
There is a block feature, and many of us have started using it. *I* use it not for when somebody disagrees, but disagrees with name calling (means they already lost their argument, as they have nothing else to stand on) or spews leftists talking points.
Use the block feature, and within days, the comments will be more enjoyable.
I wasn’t gf to block cuz it is important to get other viewpoints but abiding dude just got too vulgar - he actually scared me so I am exercising discretion
You do realize we can get other viewpoints almost ANYWHERE else? Nobody can win with the argument “bUt yoU nEeD oThEr viEwPoiNts!” or “eChO cHaMbeR naZi!” I won’t be guilted into having to read the trolls here. We have an ocean of media to go to when we want an alternative view. It’s everywhere. There is no echo chamber for the right. 🙄 This isn’t the only place to get alternative views. But this IS one of the only places to celebrate and marvel with others that support this administration. I will continue to block because this month the comment section has returned to being enjoyable for me after dozens of blocks. It’s refreshing and uplifting once again.
With all the doomsday commenters on every other site and news programs, we deserve a place to go to feel optimism and hope and have a piece of sanity. That’s what they hate and why they come here. It’s a huuuuge park in media and we have a small sliver of grass to enjoy, but they can’t have that! They have to come and rain on our parade. Sick people.
The block function is not offered under the 3 dots ..... I only get the option to "collapse" the comment. Cannot block the commenter and all of their comments.
However, most of the old timer trolls will only comment on their favorite anti-Trump narratives (EPSTEEEEEEIIIIN!! Joos control everything!! Vaxx betrayal!!!) without reference to the day's post.
Newer ones occasionally start by commenting on the current topic, but always devolve into hating Trump and/or Israel.
It's boring. Their points are ALWAYS "I voted for him 3 times but know I know Orange Man Bad". Why they choose to express this on what is unapologetically a pro-Trump substack is a mystery.
Since they are almost invariably in strident fact-free attack mode, the chances of converting any other reader to their point of view is virtually nil. I presume it is so they can go back to their primary social media and brag about how they destroyed those cretin Magats over on C&C. Or perhaps it's to convince themselves that they are the intellectual superiors of 71 million fellow Americans, in spite of their 102 I.Q.
I’d love it if he had comments for subscribers and non-subscribers. Sundays are delightful in comparison to the daily comments during the week. I do try to read them daily and simply skim over and ignore many of them. I still find reasonable viewpoints, links, and good information shared, too. In a sense reading the awful ones also helps ‘see’ the other side, so to say, so they aren’t invaluable, they are just annoying and nauseating at times.
It would be helpful if the subscription price were reasonable. And honestly, if Jeff lowered the price, he could very well acquire enough new subscribers to make it worthwhile for him.
I find it worth every penny! I know it seems like a lot but when you consider all the time he spends writing this daily blog, and how much I get from reading it and the comments, I will gladly pay for a subscription for him.
I like to see the comments by the subscribers during the week too though. Ever since I started to use the block feature I finally can see them all again, and quickly too!
You are so right! A lot of people comment now before reading the post and often with either long posts or black pilled diatribes. I’ve blocked the worst offenders and my comment section is better for it.
I’m here for the discussion, not blanket agreement. The people that just lob a grenade into the comments out of context are the ones I have no time for.
Many obviously don’t read the posts. They just come here to try and divide and conquer. Some of them everyday, for years now. Do you know how to block them?
I want to thank the US leftist politicians and media and Christian purity spiral handwavers for calling DJT out of his mind and existentially crazy over his Easter tweet. Since Trump’s own countrymen believed he would raze Iran, it very likely convinced the Iranians of the same thing.
He used their own style of language to talk to them. And they blinked.
Trump's latest tweets were disgusting. I don't care if it was a negotiating technique or 10-D chess. Threatening to destroy an entire civilization--including civilians-- is beneath our country. We are becoming that which we are trying to fight: a country that will threaten to destroy you if you don't let them do what they want. So how are we more moral than Iran or Russia when we do that? And our weakness is further on display as we have no control over the behavior of "our greatest ally," whom we totally support with our taxpayer dollars.
Trump is not talking about murdering people. He is talking about reverting Iran to the Stone age until they learn to behave. I got his point. Trump and Israel have been very cautious to minimize civilian casualties.
Somebody believes that destroying a civilization equals the elimination of the people that are part of that civilization. That someone is what I like to call an non-linker.
like I said, minimal casualties and anyhow the graves did not match Iranian claims of student deaths and it was located on a military base, a clear violation of war standards. You are wrong and in the wrong place dude.
You tell me about moral when Jihadists come to rape and murder your daughter while you watch and then tell you that you are next bc you are infidels. You tell me about moral highground when ISIS beheaded 21 Christians in Libya and tape it to show the world.
LONG LIVE TRUMP TWEETS and go take your holier than thou bullshit elsewhere.
Iran is an evil regime, to be sure, but it's not the only one in the world. China is probably more evil and is definitely more of a danger to the US. And all of our intelligence agencies said that Iran was not an imminent threat to our country. Our foreign affairs plans, which were released earlier in the year, said the government was going to pivot from the Mideast and put all of our attention on China. Also, the way the war has been waged, it's obvious that the war planners had no idea what they were doing. So many experts on this region said that what has happened absolutely should have been anticipated.
The strategy is similar to Gulf war. Bomb the military until resistance is minimal. However Trump has spared the electrical grid until now. During Iraq the allies took out 90% of Iraq's electrical grid. Trump is using a strategy that conserves American soldier's lives. During Gulf war only 20 American deaths occurred because of Norman Schwarzkopf's strategy. There were 750,000 allied troops involved in that effort. Good odds. When the ground invastion commenced the Iraq soldiers were so sleep deprived and worn out they retreated fast. Trump has learned from history.
All of our intelligence agencies did NOT say that. It was equally mixed feedback. And finally ending the war with Iran DOES focus on the China problem. 🙄 sheesh, get off MSNOW
The US has 700+ military facilities scattered around the world, terrorizing countries if they don't behave as told. The US imposes mandatory DEI, LBGQTXYZ trash on them and bleeds their treasuries, but Iran is the real threat to the world; is that correct?
No, the ends never justify the means. Sometimes we choose to do something evil to prevent another evil, but we should never forget that our choice is evil. And we need to ask God for forgiveness.
But did he DO it? And what was the precise threat? Attacking the infrastructure that makes them civilized, NOT killing the people. His threat was justified.
and I come along and kill him, I’m 100% certain God, her parents, the girl being raped, my friends and family and probably even Whoopie Goldberg (well, maybe not her) would be A-OK with it and applaud my efforts.
I think it's wrong for the president to use profanity and rude hand gestures, and there is no need for it. But people who complain about Trump's aggressiveness and decisiveness do not understand world politics at all. Diplomacy only works if all parties are civilized. Radical Islam is something else. Diplomacy for those countries is simply a delaying tactic—they can tease agreement and compliance or outright lie, so their civilized opponents are wasting their time while the bad guys are doing the bad things that they have no intention of stopping. Radical Islam is so completely foreign to those of us who live by Judaeo-Christian rules, we can't even comprehend the reality of it. But we have to get to the point where we do understand that sometimes violence and threats are the only way to make a difference.
Here’s your lie: “Threatening to destroy an entire civilization--including civilians--“.
It was NEVER including civilians. That was claimed by the democrats and media. What makes a society of people civilized? It’s infrastructure with transportation, bridges, utilities, etc. Destroy those things and you destroy the “civilization”, NOT the people. And ask ANY Iranian not beholden to the IRGC and every one of them would prefer to lose ALL the infrastructure and return to the “stone ages” rather than remain under a regime that will shoot them in the head or hang their children in the town square for daring to protest their government. You would too. Take the authoritarian antics of the COVID era here in America and multiply the severity by 1,000 and you STILL won’t be able to relate to what they endure every day.
This is why they keep sending messages “please don’t stop bombing”. Without their own weapons they cannot defeat the regime. They need help.
So who do you root for? Ultimately you are rooting for a terrorist regime and it’s disgusting.
I understand why you would think that but it’s fundamentally untrue. People still have babies in the most extreme and sad situations here and around the world.
People really need to understand the value of babies, and the importance of raising future generations, and stop outsourcing the most valuable thing we have to crazy criminals who want to destroy their minds and ability to be free humans.
If you look at history, very many extraordinary human beings have been born into what you would likely consider extreme and sad, very miserable conditions. And they survived and have enriched the lives of many generations of humanity.
In contrast, the spoiled, deluded ‘survivors of abortion, because they were wanted’ generation we deal with today are a sad comment on humanity in far too many cases.
With all due respect, you, madam, are the problem. No joy. No happiness. Just preach, preach, preach. Lecture, lecture, lecture. The ultimate killjoy. And some kind of -ist.
😂 haha. Barefoot in my kitchen, surrounded by amazing sweet kids, who are being nourished by homemade bread and chatting cheerfully with each other…the sweet and salty smell of traditional Boston baked beans slowly cooking in my oven wafting through the air…
Open windows, subtle and fresh spring breeze tickling our cheeks…
Which may be true for you and I hope it is. But your smugness and condescension regarding others speaks volumes. And again, happy people make babies, even if it just the momentary happiness of a sexual union that lapses into the sadness and criminality you use to judge others.
Impeachments now known to be caused by the treasonous acts of Obama, Brennan, Clapper, Comey, Mueller, Wray, McCabe, Strok, et al.
25th amendment charges discussed with cabinet members by his own Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein in Trump’s first year in office-2017.
4 arrests and 91 charges brought by Norm Eisen and orchestrated with Biden and AG Merrick Garland with all but a few overturned on appeal as preposterous.
The elite Socialists with Sustainable Climate, Population, and Finance characteristics tried for 10 long years to destroy Trump reputationally, familiarly, financially, and 3 times physically, simply because Trump endangered their systematic destruction of America’s powerful industrial base, Judeo-Christian values and traditions, and financial solvency.
In short, they had gradually and fundamentally transformed America from a government of, by, and for the people, into a resource to be extracted by a totalitarian technocracy representing what Lincoln called a Divine Right of Kings vs the Common Right of Humanity.
We know Trump is not among the Divine Right of Kings for the simple reason that the elites pride themselves on being cost efficient and results oriented and they have been neither trying to destroy Trump.
If Trump were one of them he would not be trying to deconstruct their Socialism with Sustainable Climate, Population, and Finance agenda but would be making money off it and enjoying life hidden in the background with the rest of the global 1%.
God help me that I’m actually agreeing with the New York Times. The United States is and has lost trust of the world and certainly a large majority of its citizens. The fact that they will do and say anything to support Israel, which is a millstone around our necks and refused to stand up to that murderous regime and the ongoing land grabs. It’s absolutely ridiculous. Jeff, I love you to bits but the ongoing gaslighting should reflect just a trace of reality. If we lose midterm, elections, and future presidential elections, it is because we did not stand up and speak up when this government lied and committed soldiers to a cause for Israel.
Do you think Jews are perfect? If not, is pointing out their imperfections considered "jewhate"? If I'm not mistaken the NYT is owned by jewish people, is critiquing that publication "jewhate"?
I suspected you had no intelligent comment to make, you rarely seem to actually make one. As far as I can tell your consistency is your only admirable trait.
Jeff way back in the day when I trusted every word you said I think you’re absolutely right. Focus on local local local. There’s a little we can do to influence this worthless administration. We just have to focus on our local communities, families, and friends and do the best we can.
Local often gets over ruled by county that often gets over ruled by state that often gets over ruled by federal. It is important to vote at all levels even if you believe in only a UniParty. Some candidates offer better policies than others.
I understand the frustraion but one sure way to ensure your vote does not count, don't vote!
I never used to understand that sentiment about just staying home. But I now think I actually understand it. It’s such a profound feeling of betrayal, loss of hope and futility.
When a leader like Trump, for which so many conservatives had such high hopes for... openly and brazenly BETRAYS them by giving his loyalty to another country, one that commits genocide, land thefts and massive political corruption (via both bribery and extortion/blackmail) and actually goes to WAR against one of that country's enemies, unprovoked and illegally... and against the wishes of around 80% of his constituents...
...a profound feeling of betrayal, loss of hope and futility is only natural... and that applies equally to those who pathetically support that duplicitous, lying traitor.
When you have the choice of Trump vs. Harris, staying home starts to look more attractive. I still voted last time for what I hoped would be the lesser of two evils.
The USS Liberty incident was an attack on a United States Navy technical research ship (a spy ship), USS Liberty, by Israeli Air Force jet fighter aircraft and Israeli Navy motor torpedo boats, on 8 June 1967,
Reasonable persons accept that the attack on the USS Liberty was an accident during the heat of war. It was a ship on a CIA mission in an area that it had said it wasn’t in and was mistaken for an Egyptian vessel.
What I find appalling is the tale of the MS St. Louis during the time of the Holocaust. Hundreds of Jews escaped Germany on a ship, and made it to a U.S. port, only to be denied entry. They were returned to Germany to be murdered by the Nazis.
More recently, Candace took up the issue of Israel’s supposed “intentional” attack on the USS Liberty in June 1967. The Israel Guys explain clearly that the calumny of the IDF attack on the USS Liberty back in June 1967 is very indicative of everything that Candace is doing to malign the State of Israel. The evidence that Israel thought it was a US ship is not strong. It was almost definitely a mistaken attack, and it was a terrible incident that will always be a stain on the amazingly successful Six Day War in Israel.
But the anti-Israel line is to always look at the anti-Israel angle on matters that can be interpreted in both ways. For example, did the Israeli pilots see the American flag on the American ship? It is not clear.
…But perhaps the most incriminating piece of evidence against what Candace argues is that Arthur Goldberg, the US Ambassador to the UN, made it clear to the entire UN, 2 days before the attack, that there are no US vessels anywhere in the area of the war….
The “evil Zionists” are not the source of evil in the world. Actually, Israel is perhaps the greatest source of blessing in the world.
I think we have respect form the people that are worth having respect from - what the NYT is referring to is the EU and frankly they are not worth getting respect from
Did you forget that according to Iran, Israel is only the little satan. WE (these United States) are the BIG SATAN. The mullahs and company HATE us more than they do Israel.
And most of the Jewish Israelis are middle east in origin -- Misrahi rather than Sephardic or Ashkimenasic. Many already lived in what is now Israel but many of them lived for generations in the other ME countries but were kicked out and now live in Israel. Israel on the other hand never kicked out its Arabs.
It's funny, everyone focuses on Iran while at the same time Texas, and much of the US is being invaded by Hindus, Muslims and Chinese. Trump seems ok with that. I guess he and his cronies can't grift off the taxpayers by actually fighting for the US.

He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or epochs which the Father has fixed by His own authority; but you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth.”
— Acts 1:7-8 NAS95
✝️✝️✝️✝️
Janice, please keep posting your Bible quotes. I look forward to reading them each day. 💖
That’s not my point. My point is why doesn’t she make comments that pertain to Mr. Childers post? Does she even read his post?
It does pertain to today’s post. Jeff talked about oil. Oil is a symbol of the Holy Spirit. Janice talked about the Holy Spirit. Jeff mentioned Israel which encompasses the land of old which included Judea and the 2 capital cities of Jerusalem and Samaria, Janice mentioned these also. Janice mentioned ‘times and epochs’, Jeff spoke about the NY ‘Times’ and I think Janice was also alluding to the Epoch Times headline from today ‘Fragile ceasefire enters 2nd day as Israel attacks Lebanon, Iran alleges truce violations’.
Well done 🙏🏽
Bravo!
The times and epochs in the Word refer to the ‘Appointed Feasts of the Lord’, beginning with Passover. Yeshua fulfilled the first 4 in His lifetime. We are now waiting for the last 3 (in the fall) to be fulfilled.
You new here? It’s always the new ones that attack Janice. 🙄
Valerie, I was going to say the same thing.
Btw,’ Amanda’ (I doubt that’s real) we had someone like you come in here before and say the EXACT SAME THINGS, but under a different moniker.
We are NOT interested.
Why do you resent the Word of the Living God?
We like her post, you can skip it . Or silence her comments for you only.
Thank you Janice!
Have a blessed day!
Jeff often likes Janice’s Bible verses so you might want to just scroll on. Many of us have been long time readers and look forward to reading Janice’s daily verses. Many times her posts correspond to what Jeff News talks about.
Yes, she reads the posts. Yes, we like starting with the Word of God. Yes, you can just scroll on and ignore if Bible verses offend you. And, yes, I believe that Mr. Childers approves of Janice’s posts.
Also, Jeff is a Sunday School teacher, so he loves the Word.
godspeed Amanda.
Janice …I look forward to your biblical quote each day. I think I am not alone. It is a nice part of Jeff’s daily output
Where has Jeff stated that he pays for her to post her material? Her material is not “Jeff’s daily output”. She just uses his site to make it so.
I consider it part of daily C a d C. I didn’t mean as Jeff wrote it, or pays for it. But he obviously allows it, as it appears as the first comment always.
Janice's Scripture passages appears quite often as the "top" comment (top as opposed to newest), because it has been upvoted more than other posts.
Good to know. I had never noticed that pecking order. It is obviously well liked though. People would have complained.
And apparently if anyone who felt the same way had complained, they would have been shouted down and insulted. So.
Blocking you now. You’re an evil soul. I will enjoy not reading your judgemental, narcissistic, “why aren’t you as good as me” posts.
I did as well. What a negative nanny
And aren't you being judgmental and uncharitable? I didn't get any hint of "why aren't you as good as me" or narcissism from Amanda's comments.
Our Lord sends us all out, in the world, to spread the Good News of salvation. ❤️
I love scripture added when appropriate! But is it ethical to get on someone else’s blog & broadcast your own business?
I honestly don’t mind her posting scripture. But could she thoughtfully read C&C & then come up with a scriptural commentary of why she agrees or disagrees? Not just have a pre written post that she piggybacks on C&C. Maybe think about making it scripturally relevant to the present day post?
Had you been a long time reader you would know that Jeff used to always like and comment on Janice’s verses back when he was smaller potatoes. I honestly don’t know where the man finds the time but she’s been here way longer than I and I’ve been here five years. There is no hijacking going on only community which is sorely lacking in many new “readers” of this blog.
never assume.
????
a rule I picked up from a Katharine Hepburn flick.
it helps to ask questions before emptying a shotgun into someone, literally or rhetorically.
Amanda is a longtime reader and staunch supporter of this stack. to assume otherwise and attack her on a false assumption, is not only unseemly but betrays ignorance of the sundamental rules of civil discourse.
Is it ethical to get on someone’s blogpost and post your own opinion?
Is it ethical to attack someone who is encouraging others?
Stop wrecking everyone’s morning.
Isn't "posting your own opinion" one of the primary reasons these blogposts exist in the first place? Imagine if Jeff posted every day, but didn't allow any comments.
And anyway, by the implication of your first question, YOU just did something unethical.
Amanda is not wrecking my morning. I have also wondered why the scripture is not related to the subject of Jeff's essay. I wouldn't say it's unethical, it's just not the usual way of doing things. Comments on a post should be related to the subject of the post
Should is a funny word used to tell someone else how to behave.
It's a matter of logic.
Oh my goodness! Leave this alone! There is nothing wrong with posting scripture! If the author of this blog, Jeff, was unhappy I believe he would have addressed this issue a long time ago. So apparently if he does not have an issue, if you do, go somewhere else for your daily news!
Who are you to judge when it is or isn’t appropriate? Who made you the morality police here? You’re hijacking comments in the same way you’re accusing her of. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I don’t see you tying in your disapproval of Janice with anything Jeff posted. Lololol
She's not disapproving of Janice, she's making a valid point, which is that Janice's scriptures are not tied to Jeff's subject. I understand that Jeff had a blog in the past that encouraged discussion of Scripture, but this is a column on politics and the workings of government.
You know I've only been here for a little while and always surprised to see Janice's scripture comments not associated with the subject. I get passed them and all others related to get to the actual comments of the post du jour. Is it annoying? Yes somewhat but the posts from Jeff are great and worth this little detour.
Let him decide.
You can wonder in silence, or silence Janice for you only .
Why don't YOU read the post, then come up with a scripture that ties into points made within? Nobody is stopping you. Certainly would be a better expense of energy than criticizing Janice.
Really Amanda? Don’t read it. If Jeff has issues with her post, he will address them.
In his spare time? Jeff has a life and, I think, a job. Monitoring and responding to or acting on several hundred comments each and every day would be a full-time job.
Well, she got 151 likes, which I've never had, and more than you've gotten today, so Jeff's followers clearly like her posts, and I don't think she has any need for suggestions or criticisms - many people clearly enjoy her posts, and if she's been doing this for 5 years, good chance that Jeff doesn't mind either.
I am glad to be able to relax now knowing you don't "mind" her posting scripture. I rack my brain but can't come up with how quoting scripture is broadcasting one's business.
I agree Amanda....but, she can post whatever she wants, but we can choose if we wish to read them, or scroll past to read comments that pertain to Jeff's post.
Scrolling through hundreds of comments to find the pertinent ones is incredibly time-consuming and confusing. A comment that is not relevant to the post is clutter, even if it is scripture. Also, each of Janice's scripture quotes usually inspires others to quote scripture. More clutter. Why make it hard for people to stay focused on Jeff's funny, informative posts when Christians have so many other ways to access scripture?
Who are you to tell her what or how to comment?
Good point. 👍🏼
The demons are very stirred up today. Ignore the attacks Janice.
Many times, even after my own Bible study in the mornings, you have posted the exact Scripture that I needed.
It is NEVER inappropriate to share His Word. His Word will never return to Him void, but will accomplish whatever He was sent to accomplish.
Hey Janice, I am a Christian but I am confused why you have the need to post your post on Mr. Childers post? I also don’t see that you have read or commented on his post.
I am wondering if you have any thoughts about the New York Times & his comment “The credibility gap between the New York Times and reality is getting wider than the Strait of Hormuz.” Don’t mean to sound mean, good news of the Word is great! But, why not read his post that you post on your own scripture post? It feels like hijacking to me. I am sure I will get angry nasty comments. But I am truly asking…do you even read Coffee & Covid?
You must be new here. We love Janice. Her words bring a smile to my face after Jeff’s wonderful posts. You can always skip and move on.
I actually come to the comments first to calibrate my spirit with His word before reading. I love her
Amen! 🙏🏻. Having read Janice’s health trials and tribulations on her own Substack, I am stunned at the depth of her faith. We should all aspire to that level of not only devotion, but of her efforts to spread the Lord’s word.
@Cee- Janice is a much better person than I am.
I doubt that!!
Ah. There it is. Mystery solved.
I love her posts and we are surely in need of the reminder to have courage in this time of uncertainty in our world. Jeff makes me laugh out loud every day, keeping me sane with a sense of humor and Janice reminds me that we are in good hands after all. Keep the faith.
I'm a past nuclear fizzasst too and I'm here to say, don't you tell anyone what I know better AND don't make me have to prove it. I have a depluma! ... And a log in my...
You have a way with words.
😬 I love it.
Not sure I understand your point here, RJ?
I think he is referring to when Jesus told people to take the log out if their own eye before trying to remove the speck in someone else's eye.
Matthew 7:5 and Luke 6:42
It's your perogative to read her daily scriptures, and mine to skip over them and move on....it's nice that her words make you smile
Nope. Been here for several years. Actually, being unvaccinated & finding C&C in the early part of covid gay me great hope! It was a very difficult time for me standing my ground & C&C helped reinforce I was doing what was right for me.
I read C&C daily. Just like I read scripture. I just don’t understand why she doesn’t comment on C&C daily posts that pertain to what he spends 5 hours writing. You will see that I comment on a regular basis on many people’s comments. I am just asking questions. I am not asking her to stop. I just want to know if she readsC&C or participates in the public discourse?
folks round these parts love to rise up in righteous defense of Childers scribblings -- whether he needs it or don't.
Yeah but it's NOT "Jeff's scribblings" they're going off on, it's Janice's daily scriptures....was asked a simple question that started a flurry of "who do you think you are" posts! lol...jeeze
Amanda, Do you even read Coffee and Covid? If you have to start your comment with "I am a Christian but..." I'm thinking you may be missing a big point of C&C.
Amanda’s point is right on point. The comments section exists to comment on Jeff’s article. Some folks excuse and rationalize her misbehavior by claiming her content is so valuable and liked that it excuses her brazen and narcissistic conduct. She has no shame.
“Her misbehavior” 🤣🤣🤣 So you’re the self proclaimed morality police? Lolololol Narcissism is flaming in your comment, dearie. Don’t walk past a mirror or you will see your projection.
I disagree. The comments section doesn't ONLY EXIST to comment on Jeff's articles. It is a community forum where commenters support each other, as well as share their reactions to the article.
There is no shame in sharing the Word of God here.
Her content IS valuable, because it is GOD'S CONTENT she is sharing.
🙏🏽
Well this is anew take. The comments section created by an author isn’t intended for the authors purposes but exists for anyone to use however they so choose. It’s now a community forum . Sounds just like the antifa anarchists view of private property . Do you realize how absurd you sound?
Well, if it's the author's purposes and invitation for his commenters to be a community and give feedback to each other as well as to him, then it's not a new take. Jeff has given us the freedom to use his comment section in this way.
So.
Except Jeff is not a tyrant. He’s cool like that.
So since this is his house, why fuss about what he likes inside of it?
You need Jesus. ( I’m speaking to C Boyd)
@C. Boyd- Misbehavior? I have NEVER seen Jeff dismiss her daily comments. Maybe it's because he realizes it gives others hope, albeit quietly.
C. Boyd, do pay attention at all to how many commenters thank Janice for her posts?
That hardly justifies what Amanda and others have pointed out.
I see who the wannabe rule makers are. Here's looking at you. 😝
However, YOUR comment has nothing to do with Jeff's post either, so you are in fact guilty of the exact crime you accuse Janice of. Seems mighty brazen and narcissistic to me.
How can you bear to live with your hypocrisy? //
P.S. learn to scroll.
Misbehavior?
Posting Scripture?
You ain’t seen nothing yet.
O Brother!! What a ridiculous comment.
Absolutely i read C&C! Every day. I even repost for others to hopefully start following him. I am asking a real question. Does she read C&C? I love reading all the comments. I don’t see her commenting on Mr. Childers posts. She just posts her post.
Also, I am a born again Christian that loves the Lord & following his path for over 50 years.
I understand that other discussions happen off of Mr Childers posts. I love to be part of them. But most of the discussions happen because of something he has written. He spends 5 hours for each post & I really appreciate his work. Again, my question is does Janice read & comment on C&C or just use it for posting her own work?
Yes. She does. So do thousands and thousands of others who never even come here to comment. Your harsh judgement of her is more a reveal of the truth of who you are than anything you claim.
Christ beams with pride at Janice’s obedience and faithfulness to spread his good news and truth. A born again Christian would understand that.
I never heard of this Janice person before.
Then you have not been around long. She’s been here since the beginning and is loved.
It’s disgusting to attack another reader the way these posters are for the reasons that they are.
We have never heard of you before and prefer it that way. Take your nasty and negative self and go bother an ex husband if anyone was ever willing to marry you in the first place. Jealous hag who is envious of happy Souls and enjoying scripture. Go to BlueSky or any libtard column to get your kicks. You need an enema and an exorcism.
lol
You can block anyone on Substack. If Janice bothers you that much, that would be my advice. Problem solved.
You can't block someone's comment on a post other than your own.
You can block the person, not the individual post. Their comments on the current post won’t disappear, FYI. And I’ve found it takes time for the “block” (you can also mute them) feature to work. But worth the effort. Go to the person’s profile and click the three dots (…) to the upper right to find those options.
@Amanda- see my reply to C. Boyd.
But is Christianity a big point of C&C? Wouldn't it be called CC & C if that were a big point?
Jeff is a Sunday School teacher.
Did you not know that?
No, I did not know that. That's great. (And it's another reason why he doesn't have time to monitor hundreds of comments on his posts every day.) But I don't see how that addresses the point raised by Amanda. He himself does not (that I have seen) insert scripture into his posts about politics and news.
Janice’s posts are approved and appreciated by Jeff Childers. If you don’t wish to read them, scroll on by.
This.
Again, just asking questions if she actually reads before posting?
that's between Amanda and her god.
None of your business, is it?
Janice is a daily voice for all of us here to remind us that we must not lose hope for we have Jesus. This is not confusing at all and if you are a Christian as you say you are (have my doubts), then you would understand that uplifting verses from the Bible are food for the Soul, wanted and needed. Our Janice provides that. I am not a good Christian like Janice is so I will tell you to shut your piehole or go elsewhere since her posts vex you so much that you actually had to make a comment about it.
I didn't know that there was an inappropriate time to share God's Word! These words of encouragement have no agenda other than to share the love of God to a lost and hurting world. And is God's Word only to spoken or shared within the four walls of the church? I think not!!! Very sad!
I see Janice's posts as "priming the pump " for the rest of the comments so that the living water of God's word can flow through us and over us. And it's kind of like saying grace, I suppose... Blessing the meal--all the comments and insights that we're about to dive into. 🙏🏼🥩🍖🍗🥓❤️🔥
Spot on. 👍🏻
Well said, Lori!
Lori, I was reading the comments to my hubs, and your comment here made me laugh. Also, please don’t compare your walk with the Lord with anyone else’s, just with the word. 🙏❤️
You are more dear than words can express Janice. You walk the walk and talk the talk while I trip during my walk and babble during my talk. I call it as I see it. I have a lot of catching up and maturing to do in order to have God smile at me as much as he smiles at you! Thank you for your kind words nonetheless!
I have a feeling that God smiles at you a lot!
Not enough though Jamison. I must do better. Work in progress!
Lori is hilarious!
😂😂😂
Janice has shared a daily verse here for at least six years. Most days they even tie nicely with the subject of the day but not always. This is a Christian, family friendly, and mostly conservative newsletter that has many long time readers and supporters (including Janice) who enjoy and appreciate her contribution and form a community of like minded optimists who prefer their news with humor, optimism and humility, to include the word of God. It’s not for everyone but it hurts no one, to include you. If you’re not interested just don’t read it. I don’t always read them but will never complain that they are there as they are evidence that Janice, a truly nice Christian woman, is still among us and doing alright which makes my day.
Excellent comment!
As stated above, I am just wondering if she just piggybacking posts or does she read his posts & participate in commenting on other posts. I apologize for offending you. I am truly just trying to understand. I too have read her posts at times. I just appreciate Mr. Childers posts & read before I make comments.
Did you not read what @Irunthis1 literally just stated?
"Most days they [Janice's comments/scriptures] even tie nicely with the subject of the day but not always."
It is obvious to most of us that Janice clearly reads Jeff's posts prior to leaving her comment. Because it makes sense with the article.
Well said. Exactly how I feel.
It is NEVER inappropriate to post the Word of God. True Christians are thrilled to see Scripture shared publicly.
As a (retired) conservative pastor, I agree with your comment/question of JP... it doesn't seem relevant to the current topics or conversation in this thread...
If you think that God’s word is not relevant to what we are seeing in the world, God help you.
SD Scott - AGREED!
What we are seeing in the world, yes. Jeff's funny, almost unique commentary on what we are seeing, no.
So as a "conservative psstor" you don't think scripture, GOD'S word, has revealence in today's world. Glad you are not "active" any longer. Paraphrase..they will teach a form of YESHUA'S teachings and a form of the Great I AM's words but not the truth . HMMMM
Got that RIGHT!
As a retired pastor, then, you must certainly remember that the 50 days between passover and pentecost was a difficult time for the disciples. We are in that time now, and it is not inappropriate to remind us of the blessings that await us.
You are no pastor I want to be a part of. You are a sham.
False prophets lead people away from God
Perhaps the comments from detractors is God revealing the false prophets in the stack.
@Lori- like our former pastor who told me our granddaughter had no right to be born because her parents weren't married. If only he could see her now (he's dead so it doesn't matter); 26, married with a house and two babies, working on her second Masters degree. Yeah. A real screw up in life.
How very unChristian of you to insult him just because he agrees with a rational point that is not your point.
Long timers know there has long been a race to be first to comment. For Janice she is often first. I dont know her reasons but that may enlighten some. as i recall she posts then reads the post……
And many of us appreciate Janice’s post with the living word to fill our minds and hearts.
@(former) Rev- aren't we supposed to evangelize wherever we go?
RevMike, (and many others) if the author of the blog, Jeff, hasn't stipulated he want's comments only relating to his post, then off topic posts are acceptible. It is easy to block posters that you don't want to see. Look for the three dots ( ...) at the end of the post on the right.
Perhaps you folks that are unhappy should spend more time learning the culture of this blog before challenging it. Saying "Who is this person is. I've never heard of her." reflects a need to do just that.
Funny, the few times Jeff mentioned the Comments section it was his invitation to comment on his theories. I don’t recall him saying just use my comments section for whatever purpose you desire.
I'm afraid that's why there are so many empty pews and fewer churches.
Yep. empty pews are because of empty hearts
Sigh. There’s always that one who has to jump in and pee in the pool. Today that’s you, Amanda.
Amanda truth is what cc is all about! If you are a Christian….the Word is the ultimate Truth - as much as I love Jeffs words and posts and have been here since almost the beginning… Janice’s posts from the Word give us all far more truth than Jeff’s - we have been here for optimism and hope -conventional blog and army this is not!! Please study Ephesians if you can’t see her critical relevance here 💪🙏🏻
We all have a faith system that we follow .. maybe that’s the government system perhaps it’s Buddhism - you are either with the Lord Jesus or you are not- which is of the opposite side. You can place your faith in Jesus and see Him as the ultimate truth and authority or choose a false one outside of that. There is only one truth - whether our humanism likes that answer or not
Isn't interesting that you stated "If you are a Christian...the Word is the ultimate Truth". May I ask what if you are not a Christian; what is the truth?
I don't take offense to Janices posts, I skip past them and focus on today's C&C content! Sometimes it take a bit of scrolling, I just happened to catch this comment by Jamie.
That is the question, isn’t it? If you’re not a Christian where do you get your truth? What is your plumb line? Mere men. Who selfishly only care about themselves, their own glory and their own wealth and priviledge.
The Bible is a plumb line. Look up how and why carpenters use a plumb line to build a house, and note what happens when they don’t use one. That’s the perfect analogy for building a life without a plumb line.
In an ocean of chatty men all trying to make truth for others that match their feewings and comfort, the Word of God cuts through all that confusion and gives us sound logic and reasoning and truth to rely on, a benchmark from which to sound off of.
You can choose to follow ungodly wisdom found in the secular world, but you can’t complain at the end of the line when it leads you over a cliff to something you never would have wanted.
The worst that can happen by my choosing to follow the truth in God’s Word is I live a good life putting others before myself, and at least go into whatever thereafter there is with a less selfish spirit.
But if the Bible is indeed the Word of God, the worst that can happen for not choosing it as my truth is literal eternal damnation. Geez, that makes it something worthy of being damn sure about first when choosing where to get my truth.
Your final paragraph is a bit like Pascal's wager but I suspect you have more faith than that.
Do you think that a man or woman has to be Christian to have moral code?
It’s a logical argument I apply to a nonbeliever who argues that there’s no proof the Bible is God’s actual Word (not true … there is … but for purposes of argument,) so how can one know what theology or philosophy to follow? How can they be blamed for not choosing God? What’s there to lose? This logic is for those who feel they have nothing to lose by not choosing God, not realizing they have an eternity to lose.
It is not the logic I use for myself because I have researched all the evidence and chose God, which took me a step further and allowed me to actually feel and interact with the Holy Spirit. I can never deny what I have experienced, I choose God because he is real, and Jesus was indeed His son and did defeat death. Knowing that, I can rely on everything the Bible says as being the absolute Truth, the Word of God.
Moral codes can be had my anyone, Christian or not, based on their “morals”. Satanists have a moral codes, they are just not ones I would consider very moral at all. So when I want to know what morals are indeed virtuous, I look to the Bible. When it conflicts with my feelings, I change my thinking so my feelings align with God’s because I choose Him over the ramblings of man.
If a person does not attend a church, it is still possible to be a good person who follows Christian principles. I'm hearing a lot of outrage from the professed Christians here directed at people who are not Christian enough in THEIR opinion. And they call others judgmental and narcissistic.
Hey Amanda, did you ever consider Jeff approves, even likes, having The Word at the top of comments on his substack?
He has indicated as much many a time, by "liking" Janice's posts, at times when he doesn't like any other posts on a particular day.
I've seen over the years that C&C readers like them, and like Janice, too, very much.
As a Christian, I love seeing The Word of God in C&C comments. It adds perspective in a world in turmoil.
And as a dark soul who hates God and Jesus, it would grate on you so much you would feel a need to complain about its presence and try to silence it. The demons reveal themselves.
Well... comments of whatever kind don't "hijack" anything. Everyone is free to ignore anything they don't appreciate... as are you. You - however - want to "police" the forum under the guise of "I'm doing it for the good of the forum." Sound familiar???
We had someone come on here before, saying the exact same thing. They didn’t last long.
Nope. That’s not what I am doing.
folks can get ornery mighty fast. don't pay em no heed.
Janice brings us the word of God every morning, and for many of us it's a blessing. For those who question it, well, you're free to continue scrolling.
I was thinking yesterday I may have to give up reading the comments maybe beyond Janices daily scripture. But I did want to say that while waiting for CNC today until my day blew up I figured out how to do this!
⬅️ 😂 # changed my circle. I don’t even know what it’s called lol
Avatar! 🤣👍
Ah it seems like the demons have infested C&C complaining about any reference to Jesus, God or the Bible. They claim in the first words that they are Christian yet do not want to hear about Christ. Hmmm. They all have their little narratives that are very familiar. Don’t acknowledge the demons. That’s what they want. Engagement. If they were true Christians they would turn the other cheek and move on instead of criticizing. By their fruits you shall know them.
Wow!! I am being called a demon for asking questions? I pray for you. I am so sorry that I offended you. God bless you. I am praying for you to be blessed by our Lord Jesus Christ.
Amanda, I also wonder about that every day as I READ C&C, slowly, savoring it.
I'm sincerely happy to see sharing of Scripture, but since I don't know JanIce, as the individual God created, I skip it. I lkke to know a bit anout mh sources id all. Maybe we are not her audience, though...
I think of communication and receptivity and "time and place." When I'm praying and reading God's Word, I set aside earthly cares. So personally, I ignore Janice's daily choice of transcription.
I love the Lord, and His Word is a lamp unto my feet. I do not think your question is rude or out-of-bounds, it is simply honest.✌🏻
And for some of us, it is exactly what we needed to hear on that particular day, because of what we’re going through.
Claim all you want to, to live His Word, but are offended by HIM (HE IS THE WORD made flesh) when HE pops up unexpectedly, it makes one wonder why.
Then I, like Juju, remember how offensive the Word is to those who are walking the wide path.
Hey. Don't taze me, bruh!
Philippians 1:18
“But what does it matter? The important thing is that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached. And because of this I rejoice.”
Christ is risen! The King of Glory lives in us. It is His endless mercy that gives me life and the precious knowledge that He loves me with an Everlasting Love.
Thank you. I savor scripture too and also love C&C with my morning coffee. For awhile I kept trying to understand how her scripture tied into his daily post. Many times it does. I just realized she wrote it ahead of time so she isn’t commenting on his post.
LOL.
🤣go move to a different column, please. ☕️🧁✝️
At least she isn't doing self free advertising for her own sub stack or web site or even her book and there's no news more important or worth shouting than the GOSPEL GOOD NEWS. Better than Jeff. Thankfully these two are both encouraging and supportive of one another. Best days are when everyone piles on with Praise to God Alone.
Bread cats are when swype changes words after you've seen they were as you thought they were.
Bad days are when... 😛
Janice, thank you for the Word of God, that is always relevant.
God is not done working in our world, and He is the basis of our hope!
Without God’s intervention in current events, nothing in this world matters at all.
Amen.
Love you Janice! These trolls are servants of the dark Lord trying to silence you and using manipulative reasoning to do it. Don’t stop! Quote harder and louder every day!! We are here for you and thankful for you.
Damn straight on that Juju!
Keep posting! I enjoy them and also enjoy seeing the ‘family’ posting💕
Replying here above the trolling to point out that it is mostly trolling. Subtle, but it is what it is. Act accordingly (mute/block seems an effective tool).
Again we see the double-standard against Christians.
Love the quotes by Janice personally.
The Word is always the absolute most relevant truth. Jeff’s optimism hope and blog wouldn’t be here at all without that Fact! If u r inspired by Jeff and his words and truth pursuit you can thank the Bible for that - seek it too!! God bless🙏🏻
We ALL are in desperate need of Truth & that Truth comes from the BIBLE. I for one & dare I say hundreds of us C&C faithfuls are in complete & full support of Janice - Words Beyond Me We ♥️you Janice & that you keep us pointed towards Jesus.
"Albert Pike had promised his Masonic allies in Europe that they would have three world wars to consolidate the world power of the Canaanites. We have now seen two of those world wars, and, as promised, the first world war was to set up a Communist regime, the second world war was to raise it to the status of a world power, and the third world war is planned to destroy both Communism and Christianity in a great orgy of annihilation. This coming war is intended to be the final death knell of the people of Shem; after its conclusion the Canaanites will reign unchallenged throughout the world."
Eustace Mullins
The Curse of Canaan
Canaanites indeed. This clip is one of MANY, stating the true nature, goals, and hopes, of the EE Ashkenazi.

Their access to capital and very strategic organizational skills are impressive, if not alarming.
And for the naive. She’s 100% promoting her own substack with these posts. Which is wrong and not very Christian of her
You know how many people comment here SOLELY to promote their own stack? And they actually provide links to their stacks, sometimes several in a single comment. If you're going to criticize Janice than I would expect those people to receive harsher criticisms. Otherwise you're singling Janice out, which is odd.
Please stop spamming the comment section every day with bible verses that have absolutely NOTHING to do with the article. I pray you get over your narcissism
Well aren't you an ahole trying to harsh our mellow. Won't work. You are an instrument of demons and there is no place for you here. We will shun you to keep your negativity and evil intentions away. Best you find the good book and start reading. Fill your Soul (if it is at all redeemable at this point) with the goodness and love of God. Then perhaps good people will be willing to be around you or entertain your comments. Next.
Please stop spamming the comment section with your complaints. Will you? No? Then you will be blocked. See how that works? We don’t police each other by scolding, we block to remove that which offends us.
I get deeply offended by some commenters and I can block them to keep from having them ruin my comment experience.
Try it. Please. Start with me. 🤣🤣🤣
As i scroll by thus skirmish, I've seen your name more than any other, Juju.
Nobody is stopping you from blocking me, but instead you choose to complain. 🤣
Janice holds a special place in my heart. I will fiercely defend her as often as I see fit.
No block. It was simply an observation.
“By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” 🕊
It was more than an observation since it was unnecessary to point out, and because others have commented just as much as I have
Over the past 6 years there has definitely been lines drawn to either willingly take in podcasts or posts or the opposite, disconnect from them. The key is truth, conservative people long for the truth. We know without the truth the wrongs will not be made right, we will see no change. Even with the facts being brought out, people may have been driven from their jobs, but still no one has paid the price, no one has been brought to justice.
When someone automatically goes to name calling or saying maybe this show is not for you, or the tried and true “you’re a nazi”, “you’re a racist”, or “you’re a fascist”, I immediately look at that person with a critical eye, and think they have lost the argument. In most cases, at that point, I just turn them off for good.
In the type of system we live in, a republic, it’s our responsibility to question and be critical, to not believe everything they say, especially after all the lies we’ve been told. It’s become so in your face that government and people of wealth and power could care less about thousands, hundreds of thousands or even millions of people becoming sick or worse dying, you’d have to be a mushroom not to see it. They are open about their distain for us, their elite persona that the middle class and the poor are their worthless pawns.
People like myself want to listen or read others that are genuine, truthful and have integrity. In these times a good gauge is when we see people that were willing to put their necks on the chopping block to tell you the truth in a story, chances are there’s something there. All of the Covid “conspiracy theories” turned out to be true, and we knew it. The people like yourself Jeff that stepped forward to protect peoples rights even at the risk of harming your own career are people we can count on. I question all people that had no discernment about this. Maybe it’s the money, maybe it was the prestigious job, I don’t know, maybe they are just evil. What I do know is my appetite for news, entertainment and who I spend my time listening to is based on people I believe are truthful and genuine.
Covid should have taught everyone to not take for granted what the mainstream is putting on the table. Just look at the viewership of liberal cable news networks and newspapers, they are dying on their poisoned lying vine. The real reason the Soviet Union fell was that the large majority of Russians stopped believing all the governments lies. Personally I’m sick and tired of being constantly lied to. J.Goodrich
We also have to be careful not to project all our mistrust and anger onto this president and wrongly assume he is lying to us just because all who came before him did. I see people swinging between extremes. Yes question things, but be careful being convinced someone is lying simply because you’re so angry with prior administrations for doing so. That anger is blinding people and they are refusing to look at “results” and instead trying to represent everything Trump says as a lie.
@Juju- yes. It's ok to be wary but Trump has a pretty good track record.
Yeah, numbers don’t lie and neither do results. That’s why they jump on all the “what ifs” of his rhetoric. They can’t argue the results.
and speaking of COVID, Jeff forgot to mention that the jabs are also a leading reason people are not able to have kids - my niece (fully jabbed) has had 4 miscarriages
So sorry for your niece & family.
Oh gosh, how heartbreaking!
That’s immediately what I thought of.
You told why you want the truth when you stated that you are conservative. Leftists like being lied to. This is an indisputable fact. After years of proof that the media just makes up lies to tell us, they still take it as gospel. It isn't new, the democrats intentionally exploit the vacuous stupidity of their voters. This is from google's gemini when asked about "gruber on obamacare":
AI Overview
Jonathan Gruber, an MIT economist, was a key technical consultant and modeling expert for the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare), often referred to as one of its architects, who became the center of a major controversy in 2014 following the release of videos where he made disparaging remarks about the American voter and discussed strategies for passing the law.
Controversial Remarks and "Gruber-gate" (2014)
"Stupidity of the American Voter": In various 2013–2014 speeches, Gruber suggested that the "stupidity of the American voter" and a "lack of transparency" were critical to passing the ACA.
Intentional Deceit/Strategy: He remarked that the law was deliberately written in a "tortured" way to ensure the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) would not score the individual mandate as a tax, which he argued was necessary for passage.
Exploiting Lack of Understanding: He stated that healthy people paying in to support sick people would not have passed if it were made explicit, suggesting the bill’s complexity was designed to hide this, and that the "Cadillac tax" on high-end plans passed because voters did not understand it.
I remember those speeches.

Yes thank you for posting
Can we through anger or disgust get a better world to live in? We are individually responsible for how we conduct ourselves. We can’t control what the world around us does. We can only do what is in our power to do.
Like the AA prayer says, God grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the Courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference.
The Bible says there was a Fall and since then the Father of lies has been the master of this world. We, who worship the one true God, are insurrectionists, who through the power of the Holy Spirit fight in our own little corners. Some are given much larger territories for which to fight. But always there is the fight. We were never promised a Rose Garden in this fallen world, just assistance in the fight.
The apostle (St. Paul) said “ I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.”. Philippians 4:12
Feeling angry and depressed about the conditions of this world is a waste of time and energy, which is just what the enemy wants. Don’t give it to him.
This reminds me of the famous quote in the movie “Bridge of Spies” . When Tom Hanks asks the Russian Spy if he is worried … he replies “Will it help?”
You can worry.
Or you can trust
God.
You can't do both.
I needed both of these things today. Thank you
We have eight children. We decided before we were married (34 years ago) that we would take however many children God wanted us to have. My mother-in-law would tell us, "The future belongs to the fertile." When people made the (expected) snide comments (you know what causes that right?), we would throw that line of hers at them, then add our own: "And we're into world domination!" 😁
One time I was in a grocery store and saw a young-ish woman and two little boys. The boys were 2-3 yrs and both seated in the cart. I asked “Are these your boys?” and her face turned grey as she said “yes” to me. I remarked about how cute and sweet they seemed, complimenting her. Her face brightened and I asked her why she was initially concerned at my question. She said many people berate her for having her children!!! I was literally shocked and reassured her I wasnt in that ‘tribe’ and expressed how sorry I was and then again how beautiful her kids were. I think I was in California at the time. So gross that people would express that negativity to a woman while with her own kids!!!
Rebecca, it's a sad reality. Good on ya for countering that reality and supporting ghis young mom. 😇
@Rebecca- Substack needs emojis like Facebook has. Mine would be a shocked face. Unreal.
Can't you just use the ones from your keyboard?
A very sad state of affairs... I'm sure it's much worse now, with the pro-trans and pro-abortion, euthanasia people.
Stay in a good Bible teaching, believing church community and avail yourself of all it has to offer and you will avoid being exposed to all that ugliness.
I raised four excellent children that way and I have 15 grandchildren, who are thriving on this formula in spite of this crazy world.
The refuge in God is real, and Praise God for it!
Your quiver is full!!!! What a blessing children and grandchildren are!!
shayne, I’m not sure those are even ‘people’. I call them ‘entities’, as they seem very
UNhuman to me.
Good for you! My boyfriend’s parents came from large families and he has 28 first cousins. I have one. My uncle just passed, childless. My brother has no children. My ex-husband’s brother had no children. So many branches of the family tree ending in stubs. 😫. I have two sons and I just hope I live long enough to see them married and with families of their own.
My late husband and I had 2 children. We wanted more but God knew our life’s story and we only had 2, I had 1 miscarriage at 13 weeks. My wonderful husband died at age 47 of a very rare disease. At that point we had one in college, and the younger just starting his senior year in high school. On my income as a RN it would’ve been difficult to put 2 more through college without the primary income of my husband. I finally understood why we didn’t have more children…God knew how our life would unfold. He is good, all the time.
I went into marriage with the same attitude. I thought my spouse shared it, but after our 4th his father had implanted enough fear in him that he got himself fixed.
The happiest years of my life were having and raising those babies.
The first one is for learning, all that follow are pure joy. The older ones entertain and help raise the younger ones. I have a beautiful family and we are expecting the 15th of my grandchildren in June. We have so much fun, when we all get together and enjoy sharing regularly all the triumphs and we lean on each other in times of trial.
We’re like our own prayer circle!
My husband and I also said we'd leave our family size up to God. We have 7 children, aged 7 to 19. It hasn't been easy, but it was definitely worth it, and I would do it again. And so far, the teenagers seem to have good common sense about things.
Muslims certainly know this.
We need to recall the happiness of a full quiver.
This is the Word of God!
Psalms 127: 3-5 Children are the heritage of the Lord and the fruit of the womb is His reward. As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man, so are the children of the youth. HAPPY is the man who has his quiver full of them! They shall NOT be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies at the gate.
*I think the people who spoke at the gates of cities were considered to be honorable and discerning, and thus were relied upon to negotiate (say, whether strangers should be allowed to come into the city) and they were also granted the power to determine whether fighting was needed. So…
Omgosh I love this 🤣👍
Love it
World domination 😂 I’ve heard the comment ‘you know how that happens’ but never thought as snide but funny. I hope I never offended anyone.
Boom!
The HPV vaccine has probably played a large part in the decline in fertility. There was a study that showed women who had at least one HPV shot were only 60% at likely to have given birth as women who had not gotten a shot. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29889622/
It was retracted for political reasons.

I love it!!!!
John Leake, affiliated with Dr. Peter McCullough, has been writing hit pieces regarding Trump’s handling of the war for days.
I commented with a link to C&C, saying C&C has a far better assessment of the situation than Leake’s and to please read back several days for a better overall view.
Dr. McCullough liked my comment.
I must admit to having a fangirl moment. I have the utmost respect for Dr. McCullough.
Hopefully, he reads C&C!
I read the same and think John Leake has had it right all along. His analyses are very astute.
John should go back to medical reporting. He's better at that and has a much clearer view with medical. His overall bias (TDS shows itself) reveals itself clearly in his political writing.
Just like Jeff should go back to covid reporting. He is way in over his head on geopolitics. Anyone who supported the iraq war should be sitting back and listening right now, not cheering us into another disaster.
Lol! Robert Malone ‘liked’ a comment I had posted and ya I did the same and fanned girled 😂 when I was in an elevator with Robert Malone and Corey Pierre I just stood there. Didn’t say a work. My husband was shocked 😂by my silence
I have commented too but never gotten a like(!) from Dr McC. but then, I really tell it "like it is". . . with examples and facts that neither John or Dr McC. appreciate much, I suppose. I allowed my subscription to lapse. . . just got fed up with the unrelenting TDS they both have exuded lately.
Well, I miss you over there. I was abt to hit ‘unsubscribe’ but decided to woo the other seemingly exasperated ones over here to the LIGHT RIGHT side. We have candy! No, we have hope and better insight, and a fearless leader who somehow reads 59 papers a day or who really knows his way around AI.
I plan to hang around as long as I can stand it— and hopefully Dr. McCullough and Leake will become more hopeful as well.
Maybe you guys should read the room. It is becoming increasingly hard to find people who support this monumental mistake in Iran. You are in a small minority. We don't have TDS - you guys are being willfully ignorant.
Panicking over each individual action is absurd. Sometimes his decisions do not make immediate sense to me. But, do I go hog wild whining & crying that the sky is falling? No. Watching to see the overall plan take shape and then seeing connections that appeared only once the full hand is dealt is educational. This is why TAW.
You might want give it a try sometime.
I called this from the get go - boots on the ground, mission creep, deaths of soldiers, and a lot of taxpayer money to be wasted. I've been proven right. We have gained nothing and lost a lot through this idiotic action. That could change of course, but the outlook is not good....
You wish, loser!
Who knows how real this "war" even is? What they show us of "bombings" etc seem CGI or AI and I just can't bring myself to believe even half of it. Standing on the rug is always a choice, I choose not to.
KC & the Sunshine, Patti and Monterey - "FanGirl" here too! Being stuck in an elevator with the Medical FREEDOM WARRIORS/HEROES below would be WONDERFUL so we could give them BIG HUGS and THANK THEM personally for their COURAGEOUS, SACRIFICIAL, COMPASSIONATE, BRILLIANT efforts during the past 6 years!

pass out— 😂 I’d be downright giddy— except Leake truly is bugging me lately. Otherwise, seriously, I’d swoon like a
southern belle.
KC & the Sunshine - 😂
I'll give HUGS for you...then help you up!
KC - I got a like too the other day from Peter. I went to his profile. It showed very few subs. So I’m not sure if that is truly Peter.
Hmmm… That had not occurred to me— although that would mean he has a commenter aboard, using his name? And he is affiliated with Leake, who lists him at the bottom of the page.
Hmmm…
Dr. McCullough recently liked one of my tweets, too. Fan girling with you!
OK, well that tears it!
he only "likes" da laiiiidddies!
😂😂
😂
Trump could save a litter of puppies and a litter of kittens from a burning building and completely put out the fire himself with a bucket, but nothing will ever be enough for the left or the MSM. Their TDS is what drives them. It's all emotion, zero facts with those people.
It's not just the Left. Several commenters here are infected with a sickening variant of TDS that has a disturbing anti-Jew basis.
Yes, it’s rampant on X. Podcasters like Tucker, Owens, M. Kelly to name just a few, go out of their way to blame everything on Israel. Just listen to Tucker Carlson’s take on the book of Esther. Completely dishonest reading. It’s a short book, I’ve read it multiple times & was floored at his effort to use it to blame Jews for genocide. Also, there’s lots of money to be made as a hateful, lying mouthpiece on social media. Sadly, so many look at the world & want to fix blame for everything wrong on a particular group - opening up their hearts & minds to hate. And clueless to it all.
I agree. It helped me greatly to find Jonathan Cahn and his commentary in this “phenomenon”. I have great respect for Jonathan.
It’s disheartening to hear Tucker and Megan speak about this, and as for Candace, it seems she has gone around the bend. It’s a shame because her videos on vaccines are spot on. I hate to think people are
tossing the baby with the bath water, yet Candace is increasingly soaking herself in nasty bath water these days.
Well said, D. At least we still have Mike Rowe 😉
I love Mike Rowe!!!
It’s discouraging, but also keep in mind being anti-semitic is different than criticizing Israel.
Not when tiny Israel (the size of New Jersey) is being constantly bombarded with rockets and missiles, grabbing their children and running to shelters and safe rooms multiple times a day. They are in a life or death fight for existence. Who criticizes at such a time?
I know who.
Those are, often, just leftists who have infiltrated this stack.
Almost always.
04/09/26: This is RIDICULOUS. No one can "infiltrate" a stack. Whomever you have in mind is RIGHT OUT IN THE OPEN just like everyone else. They are employing their First Amendment rights. Just the way you and I are. If you don't like what you see, block the sender. Compounding paranoia is self-defeating. Arrest yours before its too late.
Wrong. They come here under pseudonyms, to stir up hatred for ANYthing good.
I've had to take the unfortunate action of blocking those profiles. Used to be different here in the comments, but has slid towards being more X like and I avoid X at all costs.
The more readers here block these manipulative commenters the more they will be screeching in an empty field with no one to listen to them. That’s the BEST consequence for their insanity and deceitfulness.
I have friends who have anti-Jew fever. These are intelligent people but the 'cabal' and the Ashkenazi and Sephardic discussion on who is a real Jews is bizarre and spooky. I push back when I hear Israel shouldn't exist asking how can they reconcile this with their relatives taking land from the Native Americans in the 1700s?
I’m studying Joshua RN and it’s right in there where his gave this portion of land to the Jews, and it’s also right there— talking abt where Josh messed up and how we wound up still having these… infidels among them and why the middle east is so screwy.
God has given them the land and it will only thrive under their care.
Mark Twain found it to be a barren wasteland in the late 1800s.
The Zionist brought back Jews and they made it bloom as prophesied by Isaiah. Then the Arabs saw, were consumed with jealousy and demanded it be given to them.
In 2005, Gaza was a green and thriving place. In response to the horrid Oslo Accords, the Israeli government agreed to remove all Jews and turn it over to Arabs. (For that I will criticize the Israeli government of that day. They have their own history of times of idiotic Leftists’ rule; and their own traitors within)
The Arabs in Gaza proceeded to wreck all the Jews had created and dig tunnels and amass military equipment to prepare to attack and kill all the neighboring Jews. Only now is anything green appearing in Gaza again.
And here we are, following the barbaric massacre of October 7.
I think you would enjoy the book “Prophecies For The Era of Muslim Terror” by Rabbi Menachim Kohen.
He is not (as far as I know) a believer in Yeshua, but
man-o-man is this book right on the money.
Lol yes indeed
Absolutely. Thank you for pointing this out.
They’re trolls, here hoping to divide and conquer.
I love the analogy example of a story that if Trump got out of a boat and walked across water to save someone from drowning. The next day the headlines would read, “Trump can’t swim.”
It is not emotion Cynthia. Emotion is at least honest. What we see from MSM & globalists is delusion and plotting - when they ALL have the same damn message; clips can be played of different voices repeating the same damn script. We finally saw it in the open during convid when we all had so much time on our hands and were not distracted by our daily grind. https://youtu.be/ksb3KD6DfSI?si=GYvVo4BKN_rMX27y
The leftists, indoctrinated & deluded (they are very good at deluding themselves) those listening on the level below the pundits refuse to see the puppeteer pulling the strings of his puppets they adore. You could show them and they will refuse to see it. We tend to dismiss them as we see them as uninformed and misguided. They are the ones who react with emotion. They have been trained to react with emotion and have not been taught to think critically. They are dangerous; they are irrational, fanatical, some are deranged; those are the ones trying to ram law officers with vehicles and taking shots. They are legion - and they do react off delusion, anger and hate.
04/09/26: True. He Gets Zero Credit. Elsewhere, “BRICS. BRICS is making a new digital payment system. BRICS is adding more member countries. BRICS is having another swanky conference and the U.S. isn’t invited…”
China is too busy sh*t*ng BRICS to pay much attention to anything else lately, although they have Godzilla-stomped on Panama’s ships (“That isn’t getting any results! Time to open another can of ‘Wuhan Whoopie!”).
Well said, C
AMEN!
He would be accused of wasting water for not putting out the fire fast enough.
Re: replacement birth rates. The Covid vaxx rendered many men and women sterile, and many had miscarriages. That was intentional.
Gardasil shots, given to teens, also cause infertility.
Seeing lots of “unexplained infertility” currently diagnosed. Covid shots were never implicitly tested for fertility but 80% of pregnant women in the trials lost their babies.
I’m seeing many young couples trying to get and remain pregnant right now. They are desperate for a baby.
One of the worst jabs out there. Just say NO.
It disturbs me that the CDC is still recommending the jab... would've thought (hoped!) RFK would have put a kibosh to that by now.
I believe this. Of course, the “experts” don’t understand why all these things keep happening.
Definition of an expert: Always certain; seldom correct.
More to the point here, they are lying.
Also, the fear of "purebloods" hooking up with the vaxxed and future complications isn't helping either.
That’s exactly what I was thinking.
I was sad to see Jeff never mentioned the detrimental effects of the covid shot or the HPV vaccine on fertility and live births.
I believe he did, but of course, I can’t say when.
He has.
Intentional it was.
NATO and the UN are relics of WWII and should go the way of the dinosaurs.
My objection is they have endless meetings until the cirisis is over and then send in peacekeepers. Much too slow to react.
My objection is that Europe does not hold up their end of the bargain. It’s all on US.
I would rather have dinosaurs here than those 2 entities.
Well, considering the unemployment rate among young people is horrifying and a record number of them are living at home with their parents, you can't blame them for not having babies. All the jobs are still be taken by foreigners -- both legal and illegal. Until that's fixed, optimism will be low and the birth-rate even lower. Just the facts.
My son and his fiancé together make about $95k a year. The rent on their modest apartment is $2300. They have no debt and live frugally. This year, after they get married in June, they are moving to Florida. My son’s job is remote. Hers is replaceable. They are moving to try to find a place where they can afford to raise a family. WA state has failed them.
WA state is failing for sure! Good for them cutting bait and going. I’m out also end of summer
I’m stuck here. My career is WA law specific. I have a serious disability and WA is a rare area where specialists are located. I am devastated to lose my kids. But they have to be able to thrive.
I'm sorry you are stuck there. My wife and I sold off everything and retired in 2024 and moved away. I still have a son there who is also "job stuck", but he and his wife have no kids, so they are in no hurry to leave.
At least the scenery is nice. And the blue hang tag ensures I can get a nice parking spot at the visitor center, though I try to leave those open for folks who struggle more than I currently do. My job can be done remotely if need be. A couple of my key care givers may be irreplaceable in other places. When I moved here in 2003 I had no idea this was a hot spot for specialists in my genetic disorder. It still took 16 years to find them.
Emily, Jeff is a lawyer in Florida. You should reach out to him and see if there is work for you here so you can move too.
That’s a great thought. But Florida and I do not do well together. The heat literally scrambles my brain. Part of my disability is a very wonky autonomic system with a side of what is going on with your brain chemistry?! I went to HS in Fort Myers and College in St. Pete. Then I went to Upstate SC then Puget Sound. I might have to move to Dutch Harbor, AK next.
I am forlorn to hear this. It will be difficult to not be near the kids:{. You will just have to take a lot of trips and earn frequent flyer miles! All the best to you Emily.
Good luck with the move and your new home!
Blessings on their marriage and moving to Florida. Hope they have conservative values and not awful liberal views. Florida is red and they plan to keep it that way.
Covid red pilled them and all of their friends. In hyper blue WA all the Gen Z I know vote red. They ‘graduated’ in 2020 with no prom and no graduation. And no prospects. My 24 year old son can count more dead classmates than ones who’ve successfully launched.
Good that their eyes are opened but how unimitably sad about the loss of so many of their friends.
All deaths of despair, except the kid that crossed the RR cross bucks because he was late to work. I grieve for their families.
The leftist death cult casts long shadows. The leftist economy destroys hope. My kids are trying to reclaim it.
I wish them well. Live in FL. It’s not cheap, but way better than blue states (no state income tax, no inheritance tax, a growing movement to eliminate property tax on primary residence). One of my son’s lives with his wife in NYC (job req). Their rent is over $4k a month for a small 1br, taxes are insane, and they refuse to start a family there. Hoping they are able to move here before long!
Good luck to them! 🙏🏻
Time was people didn’t run the numbers to see if they could get married and have kids. People had faith that God would provide. I was number 8 in my family. We would be considered dirt poor by much of the world and if my folks lived like people live today, I certainly wouldn’t be here. And I’m glad to here for 75 years now.
I understand what you’re saying. I’ve got grandchildren navigating today’s waters. But at some point, people need to resist these chains and just ‘step out in faith’ that if they make the leap, God will catch them.
My kids are Christian, a choice they made for themselves as adults. My son grew up in a faith based household but is a bull headed guy. He cannot be coerced or cajoled into anything. He and his buddies called BS on covid before the propaganda machine was even out of the gate. He watches, thinks, judges and makes choices. When he asked his dad to buy him a Bible like the one we use at home, his dad and I both cried for joy and thanked the Lord.
They aren’t living high. Ok fourth floor walk up apartment in a lower middle class neighborhood. Thrift stores. Food made from scratch at home. Shared car. Good income and struggling mightily.
They yearn for authenticity. They want a traditional family. She wants to be stay at home and homeschool. They can’t do that on the left coast.
I would feel the same way they do. Why work so hard when you can go elsewhere and afford to eat out here and there and have a better
life. We have family who used to live in Cali. His salary was around $15,000/mo but their rent on a teeny home, gas, food, etc. made it all disappear. They wanted to save to buy a house and have kids without having to have the wife’s income, so they moved here.
I have a cousin in NYC. She has her dream job with EsPN or something— but can only afford rent because of some weird subsidy. She would love
to ditch having g roommates at her age but she can’t— if she stays.
The covid jab has sunk fertility as well.
Nonetheless, we are told to be fruitful and multiply, and that happy is the man with a quiver full of kids.
Sometimes there have to be ‘leaps of faith’. Satan is happy to imprison us with fear.
I confess I don’t know how these things work, but I wonder if cutting down on governmental fraud would help retain/grow Social Security’s coffers?🤷🏻♀️
From what I understand, SS used to be self-supporting. They invested our money wisely, and we got it back upon our retirement. Then (supposedly the dems, but I suspect the repubs, too), they saw hoh much $ was in the coffers and decided they just couldn't leave their grubby hands off of it.
I am hopeful that somewhere in the next couple of years, Trump and friends will figure out how to make it solvent again.
SS was sufficient providing there were enough working contributors to every SS receipient. As we now live longer the ratio is far from sufficient.
GROK estimates it takes 22-23 workers to cover each SS receipient.
Congress 'borrowed' from the SSI trust fund which resulted in taxpayers repaying those 'IOUs'. It is a kind of Ponzi scheme where those paying in today fund those receiving the benefits.
Some can’t resist stealing from big pots of money.
Yeahhhh, SS used to be invested wisely, not sure it is today. Senator Ron Johnson from WI did some questioning on that topic…
See the clip. It was from before Spring break for our hard working elected officials. ( or hardly working). I think this is it….
https://rumble.com/v77keeg-budget-committee-hearing-social-security-a-discussion-on-the-facts-and-the-.html
It should be a priority.
Paging defence budget.
No $1.5 TRILLION extra (on top of the $1 trillion already approved for DOD) for Trump's warmongering, to benefit ONLY Israel?
You are no patriot, bard!! ;-)
Indeed. The original defence budget keeps increasing.
Kegbreath said we need another billion "to kill bad guys".
He must mean Social Security recipients Dude.
“A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual doom.”
― Martin Luther King Jr.
Mrs. RW
A nation that continues year after year to spend more money than it has is approaching financial doom. Just sayin’.
Besides that, when did social uplift become the job of the government?
Bingo. I want no part of the govt push to socially uplift me. No way.
We’re about to find out where the worst of the nationwide fraud is, but so far it seems to be predominantly in “social uplift” programs….
Nevermind about the pentagon - and the fact that Trump wants to increase the budget by a whopping 50%.
I didn’t say it isn’t elsewhere; however, so far it is predominantly in “social uplift” & I don’t believe that’s a government function anyway. And defense IS a government function.
Or assisting ILLEGALS in ANY way with ANY benefits...
Or financially supporting other countries (we are functionally bankrupt)
I think teaching a person to fish is better than giving a fish. I’m not big on social programs TBH they’re extremely abused. The very ones needing it are not the ones receiving it. As evidence by…. All around us! Also NO skin in the game. It doesn’t ever work out. Am I against helping? NO but it’s gotta be different. No I do not have the answer but what is happening is not working
There are studies that show that churches and non-profit donations go up as taxes go down. They need to leave the donations to us. But again, tax money is so easy for them to steal.
Make people receiving unemployment work for it!
The answer, Patti, is in scripture, which Janice Powell aka Words Beyond Me, has posted probably the exact ones during these past years, which is that this is the Church’s responsibility, not the World/government’s. If your church is not doing these things, look further for one that does or be the “teacher of fishing.” I could quote scripture but I would be accidentally “hijacking this substack” and I would not want to do that. I am a rules following personality.
And you are right. What we have is not working nor planned to work as presented to We The People.
Have you noticed that many programs of social uplift are frauds? Who did the Learing Center help? But AWFLs just love to hide behind virtue signaling fig leaves.🙄
The comment I was responding to was about Social Security, which is a self-funded project now under severe attack, not about learing centers or fish provision.
But the highest cost in the budget, after the Pentagon, is for the Wall Street bailouts, and for the interest on past debts for war and bailouts.
If you'd rather pay a banker for his third mansion than pay retired people living expenses, I don't know what to say.
Oh, wait...I do. We have reached spiritual death.
Mrs. RW
A nation spending trillions of dollars on supposed ‘social uplift’ that actually creates a corrupt and decadent populace, approached and achieved spiritual doom sometime ago, that now we have to fix.
I once saw pictures, video of civil rights leaders taking mules and wagons to the sites of space exploration back in the day to protest expenditures on the space program and demand it be used for social programs instead.
I think that’s what happened.
Good point. I also wonder if getting people off disability who aren’t truly disabled would help. I’m not an expert but I’ve come across a few cases in my work to make me think that this might be another huge pile of fraud that needs to be checked out.
I feel sure this is on President Trump’s mind.
It was disappointing that Congress wouldn’t go along with not taxing Social Security in the Big Beautiful Bill. But I was greatly helped by the extra deduction given to seniors. I paid a lot less this year.
like chicken soup - can't hurt but I have seen reports of hundreds of millions going to illegals and other fraudsters so the answer to you question is a big yes
What moron came up with the term "trans rights?" They already have the same rights as everyone else.
Apparently, that's not enough.
It’s not enough. They want privileged rights that supersede other people’s rights. They want their fetishes to be given special status.
They can’t tell you what a woman is. They believe they were born in the “wrong body”, yet they desperately desire to obtain woman parts — or man parts, and a different body.
I think it would be easier to give them hormones that match the body parts with which they arrived.
And if you can’t tell us what a woman is, how do you know that having woman bits will make you feel whole?
It’s a pickle. No pun intended. 🥒
It's all from the pit of hell...
Jeff, will you please cover the status of restoration of Religious Exemption in states like NY and CA? To best describe the perspective of my question, I am in CT and wrote the following letter to a working committee looking at this issue in my state:
Dear Director Bush and Members of the Religious Liberty Commission,
I hope this letter finds each of you well. My family lives in Connecticut where our right to Religious exemption cut off our youngest child from the schools his four older siblings attend. While they were grandfathered with existing REs, Felix was shut out of public and private schools in Connecticut and even most camps and after school style care.
If he were a shy retiring child, this would be no problem. I have been happy to homeschool him and we completed his kindergarten and 1st grade years here at home together. He has learned to read (my pride and joy!) and followed an online math curriculum to keep abreast of our local schools. We are part of a homeschool science “pod” and he takes French and piano lessons. By the grace of God, we have gotten by well. I am so grateful that my husband and I can afford to make the choices we have to protect and educate our son. I have a dear friend who was forced, for financial reasons, to vaccinate her little boy so he can attend school. In my mind, that is barbaric, a failure of every public institution involved.
Sadly, although I have been able to provide a good education for him, Felix has a dream to ride the school bus to school and be part of a classroom with a lot of students his age and a “real” teacher.
It has been no small heartbreak navigating this wish as we dodged school buses on the road (the sight of children his age getting on or off school buses is very unsettling for felix) while I fielded his questions about when he can go to school like his sisters and brother.
He has been so confused trying to sort out if he isn’t old enough or maybe not tall enough or … could there be something else lacking about himself? I hear his thoughts through his carefully formulated questions and do my best to distract him with happier things. Many times, after driving his sister to school we see a bus ahead on the road … those times, I dart into a lane to park at the dead end, and try to not cry while we wait for the coast to clear.
I have never shared with him the true reason why he cannot go, that I will not allow anyone to inject his arms with vials of things i know are poisonous and ethically wrong. I would sooner take him to be slapped across the face by a stranger or to have vials suctioned OUT of him than allow a vaccine to be injected into him.
Yes, some very sad moments have come to Felix and I from the careless act of ct legislators. I am not bitter. I think I understand what they were trying to do but I also see how misguided they were in their assumptions regarding vaccines and the impact of their decision on Connecticut families.
We are prepared to homeschool for however many years are necessary but … the work of your group gives me hope! I have had hope before, various court cases that have failed and rumors that float around in the homeschool and medical freedom communities. I have written many letters and attended rallies and prayed diligently.
I am not counting on your ability to change things for Felix but I cannot help but hope. And with that hope, I write to you now. Please, with whatever resources in your power, fight to restore religious exemptions in the state of Connecticut.
I am always available to you to share my experiences and thoughts.

"I have a dear friend who was forced, for financial reasons, to vaccinate her little boy so he can attend school. In my mind, that is barbaric, a failure of every public institution involved." That is such an eloquent statement. Again, the poor suffer the beliefs forced down from above. Dr. Christina Park (molecular biologist)testified the highly educated weren't getting the vaxxed because they understood the risks and the poor don't because they know they don't understand the risks. It was an interesting proposition. She also believes males of African heritage are more likely to be harmed by vaxxes against diseases that weren't organic to the continent. It is an interesting hypothesis and makes sense.
The concept that the poor don't understand the risks is incredibly arrogant and dismissive.
Even the poorest people in this country have access to the internet, which is exactly where those of us "highly educated" get our information.
In fact, I am fairly sure that you would find vaxx uptake was highest in those with more education/higher income/high status, since loss of that status would have been much more devastating and influential to those people. It's the same reason why those high status folks tend to swallow the Current Narrative™; going against the prevailing establishment thought regimentation is much riskier for them.
this wasn't my comment but her opinion. (It is actually Dr. Parks- my mistake.) I am fairly educated but I don't understand complex medical jargon. Someone who is a trained scientist might but not the average person. This was her testimony where I found the city council very dismissive of her. Go into 6:50 https://youtu.be/hIjDV1Np9qQ?si=t4LaA0oCypuP4zyy
Tell him the truth. Why allow him to keep thinking there is something wrong with him?
I'm 57, and my bf will not marry me. I have gone over every reason possible, and have determined there is something wrong with me. Am I too short? Too outspoken? Not pretty enough? Everything is MY fault about this, even though he insists it isn't. He wont tell me, so the easiest course is to blame myself: i'm just not good enough to be his wife.
If *I* am doing this as a 57-yr-old, what do you think lying to your son is doing to him and his future? You're being silly/ridiculous/selfish imo.
No offence, but has it not occurred to you that he is simply asshoe?
Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free? sort of guy.
If you want to be married and he doesn't....you really should look elsewhere for a marriage partner. No matter what age you are.
There is much more to the story, but that is definitely in my mind.
Glad to hear that. Don't sell yourself short.
St Rose in Newtown does not require vax. I know unvaxed kids that go there.
Your child is much safer at home. I homeschooled my two all the way through. We did co-op classes and attended a church with many homeschooling families. Go on lots of fun field trips and remind him that it's so much more fun to go to the zoo, the library or other fun places any time you want instead of having to sit in a classroom all day long. Tell him there are a lot of mean kids in school and find other homeschooling families. Read the book "Onto the Yellow School Bus and Through the Gates of Hell." You will never again have a sad moment about him not being in that toxic environment. There are so many ways to make homeschooling fun. I consider it the best thing you can ever do for your children. We had a lifestyle of learning. I never replicated a school environment, I just found ways to nurture their love of learning instead of killing it like most schools do. Most people called what we did "unschooling." My 30-somethingyo children are both very smart and fun people who still enjoy being around their parents. 😉
So well written ❤️🙏
I agree. Explain it to your son. He’s smart enough to understand. Relieve him of thinking there is something wrong with him. Let him know there is so much wonderful about him that you will not let anyone harm him.
And CA. all over!
Bravo!
Jeff, while I still read C&C every single day, I unfortunately usually have to skip the comments. Are commenters reading the posts? Many are such black pilled downers . There were always a few, but now the comment section is overrun with NYT narrative.
I used to love the comments and went through it religiously and clicked every link. So informative and civilized. Sad.
The termites have entered the structure of the building
We are getting out the termite tents!
lol
But they are getting exterminated!
Yes, Louie Farrakhan correctly referred to jews as "termites".
Zionist "christians" are just as vile.
You are vile, and you should be spending your time on that vile site that you frequently refer people to as if it were authoritative. You're just here to cause trouble.
Which site is that, Fatso?
And it seems that YOU are pretty good at spouting your poisons at anyone you disagree with...
Why not stuff that big mouth with donuts, and keep your massive ignorance and hate under cover?
"Fatso." What are you, five? Well, Nanny nanny booboo to you.
Are you saying that you are NOT an hysterical, obese, lying porker with hairy pits and hams, and repellent BO?
Most are paid Bots sent to sites like this that report truths rather than lies.
Sites like Coffee and Covid attract many, many people seeking reality news and when the lower political party in this country finds out about it, they flood these paid "bone heads" to come here are create division amongst us sane folks.
It sucks of course that these "bone heads" lack their supposed humanity and resort to lying for a living.
Times are hard and these "bone heads" clearly aren't qualified for any real job that requires a brain.
Say a prayer for them.
It’s quite easy to block them when they reveal their true intents. Then the comments are enjoyable again!
Great idea!!! I may do exactly that!!!
You say a prayer for them PonyBoy. I won't.
Speading hate is their job Lori.
Don't let them influence you in that direction.
They don't influence me at all. I avoid evil as the Bible tells me to.
I pray they will be short lived.
Praying for another's destruction is hate.
Not a choice the Bible would endorse.
If it makes you feel better, I hope their time of coming to this site will be short lived.
But there is that one Psalm we used to pray during the time of Obama’s darkness…I wish I could remember now…
There is a block feature, and many of us have started using it. *I* use it not for when somebody disagrees, but disagrees with name calling (means they already lost their argument, as they have nothing else to stand on) or spews leftists talking points.
Use the block feature, and within days, the comments will be more enjoyable.
I wasn’t gf to block cuz it is important to get other viewpoints but abiding dude just got too vulgar - he actually scared me so I am exercising discretion
You do realize we can get other viewpoints almost ANYWHERE else? Nobody can win with the argument “bUt yoU nEeD oThEr viEwPoiNts!” or “eChO cHaMbeR naZi!” I won’t be guilted into having to read the trolls here. We have an ocean of media to go to when we want an alternative view. It’s everywhere. There is no echo chamber for the right. 🙄 This isn’t the only place to get alternative views. But this IS one of the only places to celebrate and marvel with others that support this administration. I will continue to block because this month the comment section has returned to being enjoyable for me after dozens of blocks. It’s refreshing and uplifting once again.
With all the doomsday commenters on every other site and news programs, we deserve a place to go to feel optimism and hope and have a piece of sanity. That’s what they hate and why they come here. It’s a huuuuge park in media and we have a small sliver of grass to enjoy, but they can’t have that! They have to come and rain on our parade. Sick people.
So eloquently said! Thanks
Great points!
The block function is not offered under the 3 dots ..... I only get the option to "collapse" the comment. Cannot block the commenter and all of their comments.
Tap on their avatar. It takes you to their profile. Then tap the three dots at the top. There you have the option to block their nonsense.
I actually like when the comments have disagreements. Gives me more to think about.🙂
If the comments are substantive, sure.
However, most of the old timer trolls will only comment on their favorite anti-Trump narratives (EPSTEEEEEEIIIIN!! Joos control everything!! Vaxx betrayal!!!) without reference to the day's post.
Newer ones occasionally start by commenting on the current topic, but always devolve into hating Trump and/or Israel.
It's boring. Their points are ALWAYS "I voted for him 3 times but know I know Orange Man Bad". Why they choose to express this on what is unapologetically a pro-Trump substack is a mystery.
Since they are almost invariably in strident fact-free attack mode, the chances of converting any other reader to their point of view is virtually nil. I presume it is so they can go back to their primary social media and brag about how they destroyed those cretin Magats over on C&C. Or perhaps it's to convince themselves that they are the intellectual superiors of 71 million fellow Americans, in spite of their 102 I.Q.
Preach it!
Bam!
LB, disagreements - civil disagreements - are always good but IMO, that’s not what we are saying.
Well, it’ll certainly let you in what the Leftists’ Talking Points of the day are.
Just in case you didn’t get a chance to read the NYT, or watch MS NOW.
As I stated in another comment here, I've had to take the unfortunate action of blocking those profiles.
How do you do that?
You have to click on their profile first and from there you will find the 3 dots to the right. That is where you will find block as an option.
You have to click on the commenter’s name and pull up their page. Then go to the upper right and click on the 3 dots there, one option is to block.
Sadly, I’ve noticed the same - not just what is said but also how it is said!
I’d love it if he had comments for subscribers and non-subscribers. Sundays are delightful in comparison to the daily comments during the week. I do try to read them daily and simply skim over and ignore many of them. I still find reasonable viewpoints, links, and good information shared, too. In a sense reading the awful ones also helps ‘see’ the other side, so to say, so they aren’t invaluable, they are just annoying and nauseating at times.
It would be helpful if the subscription price were reasonable. And honestly, if Jeff lowered the price, he could very well acquire enough new subscribers to make it worthwhile for him.
I find it worth every penny! I know it seems like a lot but when you consider all the time he spends writing this daily blog, and how much I get from reading it and the comments, I will gladly pay for a subscription for him.
I like to see the comments by the subscribers during the week too though. Ever since I started to use the block feature I finally can see them all again, and quickly too!
Today’s comments are especially disturbing.
You are so right! A lot of people comment now before reading the post and often with either long posts or black pilled diatribes. I’ve blocked the worst offenders and my comment section is better for it.
I’m here for the discussion, not blanket agreement. The people that just lob a grenade into the comments out of context are the ones I have no time for.
Block the ones you don’t enjoy. It’s the 3 little
dots in the upper corner on their page.
Your angst seems to come from others that post truth instead of BS and spin.
Are these from black pilled downers?
https://larrycjohnson.substack.com/p/trump-got-played-by-israel-and-the?
https://meaninginhistory.substack.com/p/whats-actually-going-on-2?
Many obviously don’t read the posts. They just come here to try and divide and conquer. Some of them everyday, for years now. Do you know how to block them?
That can be very refreshing.
I want to thank the US leftist politicians and media and Christian purity spiral handwavers for calling DJT out of his mind and existentially crazy over his Easter tweet. Since Trump’s own countrymen believed he would raze Iran, it very likely convinced the Iranians of the same thing.
He used their own style of language to talk to them. And they blinked.
Trump's latest tweets were disgusting. I don't care if it was a negotiating technique or 10-D chess. Threatening to destroy an entire civilization--including civilians-- is beneath our country. We are becoming that which we are trying to fight: a country that will threaten to destroy you if you don't let them do what they want. So how are we more moral than Iran or Russia when we do that? And our weakness is further on display as we have no control over the behavior of "our greatest ally," whom we totally support with our taxpayer dollars.
Trump is not talking about murdering people. He is talking about reverting Iran to the Stone age until they learn to behave. I got his point. Trump and Israel have been very cautious to minimize civilian casualties.
Somebody believes that destroying a civilization equals the elimination of the people that are part of that civilization. That someone is what I like to call an non-linker.
"Trump and Israel have been very cautious to minimize civilian casualties."
Sycophancy is one thing... but that statement proves that you are an uninformed imbecile.
You missed the early double-tap (intentional) bombings of the 2 elementary schools, which murdered hundreds of little girls?
Civilians have been targeted by both, from the beginnings of the unprovoked and illegal war.
like I said, minimal casualties and anyhow the graves did not match Iranian claims of student deaths and it was located on a military base, a clear violation of war standards. You are wrong and in the wrong place dude.
Are you really THAT stupid?
Yes, I may move on... fan-boy morons like you give me gas.
You were born full of gas. And you are willfully ignorant.
You tell me about moral when Jihadists come to rape and murder your daughter while you watch and then tell you that you are next bc you are infidels. You tell me about moral highground when ISIS beheaded 21 Christians in Libya and tape it to show the world.
LONG LIVE TRUMP TWEETS and go take your holier than thou bullshit elsewhere.
I would like to hear what you have to say about Iran, please, and its half-century war on the world.
Iran is an evil regime, to be sure, but it's not the only one in the world. China is probably more evil and is definitely more of a danger to the US. And all of our intelligence agencies said that Iran was not an imminent threat to our country. Our foreign affairs plans, which were released earlier in the year, said the government was going to pivot from the Mideast and put all of our attention on China. Also, the way the war has been waged, it's obvious that the war planners had no idea what they were doing. So many experts on this region said that what has happened absolutely should have been anticipated.
Do you grasp the concept that Iran is vital to China, as was Venezuela, and that Trump is degrading CHINA's hold?
This was never a war simply to snuff out the mullahs, but a move in a larger game to ease China off the board of world domination.
That this conflict IS ABOUT CHINA?
The strategy is similar to Gulf war. Bomb the military until resistance is minimal. However Trump has spared the electrical grid until now. During Iraq the allies took out 90% of Iraq's electrical grid. Trump is using a strategy that conserves American soldier's lives. During Gulf war only 20 American deaths occurred because of Norman Schwarzkopf's strategy. There were 750,000 allied troops involved in that effort. Good odds. When the ground invastion commenced the Iraq soldiers were so sleep deprived and worn out they retreated fast. Trump has learned from history.
All of our intelligence agencies did NOT say that. It was equally mixed feedback. And finally ending the war with Iran DOES focus on the China problem. 🙄 sheesh, get off MSNOW
The US has 700+ military facilities scattered around the world, terrorizing countries if they don't behave as told. The US imposes mandatory DEI, LBGQTXYZ trash on them and bleeds their treasuries, but Iran is the real threat to the world; is that correct?
Everyone loves to scream that Iran wants us all dead, but they never question what we did to create that hatred.
@Nicki- we are infidels who refuse to convert to Islamist extremism. That's what we did. It's been going on for centuries.
Then I guess the answer is to be worse than they are, because we are the good guys.
@Nicki- OR we could continue to be ourselves and not try to shoot nukes at people whose religion is different than ours.
Do the ends ever justify the means? Not supporting the tweet, but seems it was effective.
No, the ends never justify the means. Sometimes we choose to do something evil to prevent another evil, but we should never forget that our choice is evil. And we need to ask God for forgiveness.
But did he DO it? And what was the precise threat? Attacking the infrastructure that makes them civilized, NOT killing the people. His threat was justified.
Idk… If someone is raping a girl
and I come along and kill him, I’m 100% certain God, her parents, the girl being raped, my friends and family and probably even Whoopie Goldberg (well, maybe not her) would be A-OK with it and applaud my efforts.
Time will tell. But Trump seems progressively more and more unhinged.
Definitely not the view from where I’m standing. Just looks that way to you because of the camp you’re in.
I think it's wrong for the president to use profanity and rude hand gestures, and there is no need for it. But people who complain about Trump's aggressiveness and decisiveness do not understand world politics at all. Diplomacy only works if all parties are civilized. Radical Islam is something else. Diplomacy for those countries is simply a delaying tactic—they can tease agreement and compliance or outright lie, so their civilized opponents are wasting their time while the bad guys are doing the bad things that they have no intention of stopping. Radical Islam is so completely foreign to those of us who live by Judaeo-Christian rules, we can't even comprehend the reality of it. But we have to get to the point where we do understand that sometimes violence and threats are the only way to make a difference.
Here’s your lie: “Threatening to destroy an entire civilization--including civilians--“.
It was NEVER including civilians. That was claimed by the democrats and media. What makes a society of people civilized? It’s infrastructure with transportation, bridges, utilities, etc. Destroy those things and you destroy the “civilization”, NOT the people. And ask ANY Iranian not beholden to the IRGC and every one of them would prefer to lose ALL the infrastructure and return to the “stone ages” rather than remain under a regime that will shoot them in the head or hang their children in the town square for daring to protest their government. You would too. Take the authoritarian antics of the COVID era here in America and multiply the severity by 1,000 and you STILL won’t be able to relate to what they endure every day.
This is why they keep sending messages “please don’t stop bombing”. Without their own weapons they cannot defeat the regime. They need help.
So who do you root for? Ultimately you are rooting for a terrorist regime and it’s disgusting.
Loved his tweet! Tweet on Mr. Pres!
Who blinked?
Agreed Barbls!!!!
Persian F bombs?
Culture is well mannered.
Happy people make babies. That's the way it works.
I understand why you would think that but it’s fundamentally untrue. People still have babies in the most extreme and sad situations here and around the world.
People really need to understand the value of babies, and the importance of raising future generations, and stop outsourcing the most valuable thing we have to crazy criminals who want to destroy their minds and ability to be free humans.
If you look at history, very many extraordinary human beings have been born into what you would likely consider extreme and sad, very miserable conditions. And they survived and have enriched the lives of many generations of humanity.
In contrast, the spoiled, deluded ‘survivors of abortion, because they were wanted’ generation we deal with today are a sad comment on humanity in far too many cases.
It is the story of Christ, is it not?
Yes!
With all due respect, you, madam, are the problem. No joy. No happiness. Just preach, preach, preach. Lecture, lecture, lecture. The ultimate killjoy. And some kind of -ist.
😂 haha. Barefoot in my kitchen, surrounded by amazing sweet kids, who are being nourished by homemade bread and chatting cheerfully with each other…the sweet and salty smell of traditional Boston baked beans slowly cooking in my oven wafting through the air…
Open windows, subtle and fresh spring breeze tickling our cheeks…
We are so miserable today.
😂
I love it! Working for people you love and who love you, instead of slaving for uncaring corporate bosses just to supposedly feel fulfilled.
At least the feminist said that’s how women would feel if they left hearth and home for a chance to use the ‘executive washroom’.
Now, a few decades later, most women feel they have no choice but to help bring home the bacon.
Women need to break free from those chains the feminists forged!
Which may be true for you and I hope it is. But your smugness and condescension regarding others speaks volumes. And again, happy people make babies, even if it just the momentary happiness of a sexual union that lapses into the sadness and criminality you use to judge others.
I despise preaching, lecturing -ist of all varieties!
My motto is “I choose happy!”. It’s always a choice.
Boom!
Impeachments now known to be caused by the treasonous acts of Obama, Brennan, Clapper, Comey, Mueller, Wray, McCabe, Strok, et al.
25th amendment charges discussed with cabinet members by his own Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein in Trump’s first year in office-2017.
4 arrests and 91 charges brought by Norm Eisen and orchestrated with Biden and AG Merrick Garland with all but a few overturned on appeal as preposterous.
The elite Socialists with Sustainable Climate, Population, and Finance characteristics tried for 10 long years to destroy Trump reputationally, familiarly, financially, and 3 times physically, simply because Trump endangered their systematic destruction of America’s powerful industrial base, Judeo-Christian values and traditions, and financial solvency.
In short, they had gradually and fundamentally transformed America from a government of, by, and for the people, into a resource to be extracted by a totalitarian technocracy representing what Lincoln called a Divine Right of Kings vs the Common Right of Humanity.
We know Trump is not among the Divine Right of Kings for the simple reason that the elites pride themselves on being cost efficient and results oriented and they have been neither trying to destroy Trump.
If Trump were one of them he would not be trying to deconstruct their Socialism with Sustainable Climate, Population, and Finance agenda but would be making money off it and enjoying life hidden in the background with the rest of the global 1%.
Time to buy his Bitcoin?
Or enjoy a stay at one of his luxurious hotels or play a round at one of his spectacular golf courses?
God help me that I’m actually agreeing with the New York Times. The United States is and has lost trust of the world and certainly a large majority of its citizens. The fact that they will do and say anything to support Israel, which is a millstone around our necks and refused to stand up to that murderous regime and the ongoing land grabs. It’s absolutely ridiculous. Jeff, I love you to bits but the ongoing gaslighting should reflect just a trace of reality. If we lose midterm, elections, and future presidential elections, it is because we did not stand up and speak up when this government lied and committed soldiers to a cause for Israel.
" ...do and say anything to support Israel, which is a millstone around our necks./.."
Don't even bother to read the rest. Is it possible for these commenter to say ANYTHING that doesn't reflect their Jewhate?
Comment after comment that is negative about Trump almost invariably contains the notion of evil Israel. It makes me wonder about demonic influence.
Do not conflate jews with israel
One doesn't exist without the other.
That’s simply not true.
That is simply the absolute truth.
Pretty sure Jews existed prior to the nation of Israel’s creation in 1948.
Are you even slightly serious?
Do you think Jews are perfect? If not, is pointing out their imperfections considered "jewhate"? If I'm not mistaken the NYT is owned by jewish people, is critiquing that publication "jewhate"?
If you think jews are perfect, forget I asked.
Reductio ad absurdum
You should at least admit it.
I suspected you had no intelligent comment to make, you rarely seem to actually make one. As far as I can tell your consistency is your only admirable trait.
Does consistently being an asshat like Dolce = admirable? I would challenge that.
I'm a soft hearted guy, I often feel sorry for people who swill propaganda, unaware. They do make interesting case-studies too.
You are correct. Israel is a demonic influence.
Your hatred is palpable.
Seriously? Projecting much? Take a breath and pray.
Seriously, do you pray? Who or what do you pray to?
You're nuts.
Jeff way back in the day when I trusted every word you said I think you’re absolutely right. Focus on local local local. There’s a little we can do to influence this worthless administration. We just have to focus on our local communities, families, and friends and do the best we can.
Local often gets over ruled by county that often gets over ruled by state that often gets over ruled by federal. It is important to vote at all levels even if you believe in only a UniParty. Some candidates offer better policies than others.
I understand the frustraion but one sure way to ensure your vote does not count, don't vote!
Shhh! I hope she doesn’t vote! I guarantee she was a Kamala/Walz vote last time.
Go for it, girl!
I do all that, and cheer on the present administration in Washington.
Maybe there’s a ‘No Kings’ protest you can hook up with again soon.
In Jacksonville, city of a million +, hundreds turned out for the last one.😆
Well…if we lose midterms it’s cuz we all stayed home cuz Thune refused to pass SAVE. Why bother voting anymore
I never used to understand that sentiment about just staying home. But I now think I actually understand it. It’s such a profound feeling of betrayal, loss of hope and futility.
And you think you'll feel BETTER when you watch the Dems take control?
Knife, nose. face... some assembly required.
When a leader like Trump, for which so many conservatives had such high hopes for... openly and brazenly BETRAYS them by giving his loyalty to another country, one that commits genocide, land thefts and massive political corruption (via both bribery and extortion/blackmail) and actually goes to WAR against one of that country's enemies, unprovoked and illegally... and against the wishes of around 80% of his constituents...
...a profound feeling of betrayal, loss of hope and futility is only natural... and that applies equally to those who pathetically support that duplicitous, lying traitor.
Poor baby😢. Boo, hoo, hoo…Kamala lost and now the Ayatollah is dead and Iran is on the ropes…how sad your life must be…
When you have the choice of Trump vs. Harris, staying home starts to look more attractive. I still voted last time for what I hoped would be the lesser of two evils.
You voted for Kamala and you just can’t get over the butt hurt😆
Voting is hopium.
There is only one party.
Why don’t you just say you hope Democrats take the midterms?
That would be a lot more honest.
Israel is a "murderous regime"?? Since when?
King David Hotel bombing
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_David_Hotel_bombing
The USS Liberty incident was an attack on a United States Navy technical research ship (a spy ship), USS Liberty, by Israeli Air Force jet fighter aircraft and Israeli Navy motor torpedo boats, on 8 June 1967,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Liberty_incident
Reasonable persons accept that the attack on the USS Liberty was an accident during the heat of war. It was a ship on a CIA mission in an area that it had said it wasn’t in and was mistaken for an Egyptian vessel.
What I find appalling is the tale of the MS St. Louis during the time of the Holocaust. Hundreds of Jews escaped Germany on a ship, and made it to a U.S. port, only to be denied entry. They were returned to Germany to be murdered by the Nazis.
https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/voyage-of-the-st-louis
More about the U.S.S.Liberty.
USS Liberty June 1967
More recently, Candace took up the issue of Israel’s supposed “intentional” attack on the USS Liberty in June 1967. The Israel Guys explain clearly that the calumny of the IDF attack on the USS Liberty back in June 1967 is very indicative of everything that Candace is doing to malign the State of Israel. The evidence that Israel thought it was a US ship is not strong. It was almost definitely a mistaken attack, and it was a terrible incident that will always be a stain on the amazingly successful Six Day War in Israel.
But the anti-Israel line is to always look at the anti-Israel angle on matters that can be interpreted in both ways. For example, did the Israeli pilots see the American flag on the American ship? It is not clear.
…But perhaps the most incriminating piece of evidence against what Candace argues is that Arthur Goldberg, the US Ambassador to the UN, made it clear to the entire UN, 2 days before the attack, that there are no US vessels anywhere in the area of the war….
The “evil Zionists” are not the source of evil in the world. Actually, Israel is perhaps the greatest source of blessing in the world.
I think we have respect form the people that are worth having respect from - what the NYT is referring to is the EU and frankly they are not worth getting respect from
Did you forget that according to Iran, Israel is only the little satan. WE (these United States) are the BIG SATAN. The mullahs and company HATE us more than they do Israel.
And most of the Jewish Israelis are middle east in origin -- Misrahi rather than Sephardic or Ashkimenasic. Many already lived in what is now Israel but many of them lived for generations in the other ME countries but were kicked out and now live in Israel. Israel on the other hand never kicked out its Arabs.
Lisa, R. doesn’t Israel even allow Arabs to be elected into their government? They don’t kick out the Arabs is correct.
Is that justification for invading them?
It's funny, everyone focuses on Iran while at the same time Texas, and much of the US is being invaded by Hindus, Muslims and Chinese. Trump seems ok with that. I guess he and his cronies can't grift off the taxpayers by actually fighting for the US.
You are seriously and sadly misinformed. God bless your soul.
"Everything before the 'but' is a lie."
At this point. Can’t really say that they’re wrong except maybe Israel is the bigger Satan but it’s hard to tell.
Bravo!
You show that you have discernment and intellect... which is not always welcomed here, in Trump/Israel Sycophancy Central.
