Bret Stephens (whoever the hell he is), and all like him, needs to be Cancelled, Non-Person'd, erased expunged, disappeared, intelligentsia-cided, and vanquished as fully as were Carthaginians, Olmecs, Neandertals, Druids, NAZIs, or whatever other term one wants to exert toward intentionally and purposefully making EXTINCT, a group of persons whose funded philosophies and professional efforts have been to oppose the rising force of Civilization and (true) progress.

What these malicious self-appointed mouthpieces of Progressive Authoritarian Elitism and tyranny meant for Trump, MAGA, Conservatives, Traditional communities, Normal persons, and modern Western Culture's institutions should NOW be used to firmly inexorably unapologetically and mercilessly be used to CRUSH them, pulverize them and their hateful ideas and influences. Let them fully reap and own what THEY have sown and it should be resolved to make no amends and build no bridges with them...how can one reach across the aisle, compromise, collaborate and compromise with such as these.

Some of the biggest news items of the last day or so have related to the Jan 6 fedsurrection.

The biggest one that jumped out at me related to the scaffolding. Apparently it was put up at 6AM. No one at the capitol thought to take it down, and the FBI has been curiously incurious about who put it up. There is video of it being erected. Something tells me that the phone records of who was at the location at 6AM will not be available.

And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon, and this man was righteous and devout, waiting for the comfort of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him. And it had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord’s Christ. And he came in the Spirit into the temple, and when the parents brought in the child Jesus to carry out for Him the custom of the Law, then he took Him into his arms and blessed God, and said,

“Now Master, You are releasing Your slave in peace,

According to Your word.

For my eyes have seen Your salvation,

Which You prepared in the presence of all peoples,

A Light for revelation to the Gentiles,

And for the glory of Your people Israel.”

Democrats blame Republicans for school shootings because we steadfastly believe Americans have the right to gun ownership. They have been blaming us for years every time there’s a shooting.

Have Democrats even considered when our society started in a dramatic decline? I’m not sure many Republicans have thought about it either. How many shootings were there when we had traditional values and American families made due with less?

Our decline started with the decimation of our cultural institutions like marriage and family. Democrats started pushing women into the workforce and children into daycare. Some of the children were only babies. These children were not raised in a loving and nurturing environment. A daycare employee will absolutely not feel the love for a child that its mother feels.

People say they “need” two incomes to survive in today’s world. I disagree. Make do with less material wealth and invest in the wealth of familial love.

Be a one car family with a landline phone. Have a smaller home with a carport. Live like people used to live in the 1950’s. I think most were happier then with less. We are suffering as a nation because we have lost touch with our traditional values.

This is from a FB post several years ago:

“In 1990, Dr. Harris Coulter predicted a wave of violence in our schools. It's sad and shocking... but so very important. Please read this and share it!

The book 'Vaccination, Social Violence and Criminality' by Harris Coulter, Ph.D., was published in 1990. It was one of the most powerful books ever written on the subject of vaccination damage and in it he predicated a wave of violence in our schools.

The mechanism that he discussed was brain damage known to be caused by vaccination: sub-acute encephalo-meningitis. This condition was known to cause inflammation of the base of the brain and to affect personality and behavior.

Dr. Coulter, one of America's premiere medical historians, did extensive research to show that encephalitis was an acknowledged medical reaction to nearly all vaccinations. A very mild form of this could cause serious personality distortions and disorders. A review of the "epidemics" of infectious encephalitis which swept America and Europe in the 1920s reveals that those who survived such a condition would suffer from various conditions which we recognize today but were exceedingly rare at that time:

These conditions include ADD, ADHD, autism, Asperger's syndrome, allergies, anorexia, bulimia, impulsive violence, stuttering, mental retardation, dyslexia, sudden infant death syndrome (Crib death), processing disorders, the inability to feel empathy (seen in autism spectrum disorders but also in criminal behavior), bed-wetting, Tourette's, seizures, sexual identity disorders and many others. These conditions, it must be repeated, seemed to come out of nowhere and rarely occurred in those times.

Coulter seemed especially concerned about the violence emanating from such diseased brains. His evaluation of prisoners revealed that a surprisingly high number suffered from various neurological disorders such as tics, stuttering, dyslexia and other conditions that were reflective of nervous system problems.

In his book, Coulter discussed America's youngest serial killer, a young teen in the late 1800s whose mother stated it was the smallpox shot that changed her child's personality and turned him violent. Coulter's book also included a chilling interview with the notorious serial killer Ted Bundy who discussed his uncontrollable urge to kill. Bundy, a psychology major, repeatedly said his was not a personality disorder but a neurological disorder with uncontrollable impulses in his brain.

Remember, this was well before the Columbine shootings, before school violence was even a serious problem. Coulter predicted that an expanded vaccination program would reap even more violence.

The victims of these vaccines have brain damage and are often prescribed psychiatric medications that have been linked to suicide and homicide. We don't yet know enough details about the Connecticut killer, but we do know that most people responsible for school killings were on such medication.

How many more such acts of violence and murder must occur before we ask the question, "What is making these children murderously violent?" That should be our primary focus, not gun laws, poor parenting, and more secure schools.

Are these acts of violence caused by people with vaccination-induced damaged brains? The evidence for this conclusion is compelling. Our refusal to objectively investigate this only ensures continued tragedies of this nature.”

Yes. I’ve read this book.

And what I can say is affected children are much more volatile today…

primary symptoms of Autism include … lack of empathy, lack of social connection, poor impulse control, poor emotional regulation and lack of overall emotional understanding, and obsessive compulsive tendencies

That’s a terrible combination - and is part of what we are seeing today …

If they evaluated the characteristics of school shooters over the last 10 years….

I believe you’d start to see a very clear pattern of behaviors that are quite consistent

And we know some kids with autism… their deficits have been caused by vaccines

So you have a much higher percent of kids today (over vaccinated, and over medicated) who are neurodiverse and vulnerable to these type of criminal and impulsive acts

I just had this conversation with my kids last night

The schools are in the middle of a serious campaign

Convincing all the school age kids- the problem is guns in this country And we should disarm America.

And what I told my kids was…. Guns do not pick themselves up and start shooting people…

A person with an addled mind shoots people….

They are actively brainwashing our kids in schools… that America should be disarmed because of all these tragic and horrible school shootings

And there’s never a single constructive conversation about mental health

Or a hard look at the root cause of what’s making children act this way….

Bobby Kennedy knows what’s going on in children’s health today and I pray… we can see progress in saving children’s brains today

Because it really has been the destruction of children’s brains for decades now.

And this is the horrific result

Does anyone have information on RhoGam shots? I saw a video a few years ago regarding harms of vaccines. A lot of the doctors and scientists in the video were European. Can’t remember the title of the video. In the first 15 min., I believe, two male scientists stated they found out that RhoGam shots contained thimerisal, which they never knew about before. I received at least 4 of these shots as my blood type is O rh negative. I have 3 children whose blood type is O positive. I received the first two after giving birth to my first two children, sons. I was given the other two during m pregnancy with my daughter and after giving birth. All three were breastfed babies, so I’m sure something was transferred to them. My kids do have a variety of asthma, allergies, ADHD, anxiety, depression, autism spectrum, bipolar. They were all born 1988 and after and also sadly got all CDC recommended shots as I had no clue about harms back then. May sons also were on antibiotics for acne when they were teenagers. Ugh! I didn’t know how bad those could be for your gut biome then either. The allopathic medical industry has really screwed us over. I wish more doctors any scientists would talk about this RhoGam injection, the ingredients, and harms it can cause. Would love to hear more about antibiotics given for acne also and the harms they cause.

Susan L.'s avatar

I identify with much of where you are. My children were also born 1988 and after. I am A neg blood type, and gratefully, all children were Rh neg, as well, so did not receive RhoGam. They also received all the scheduled vaccines and quite a few antibiotics for severe ear infections as well as a brief round for acne. We had a “gut” feeling about those, and did not do long courses. The children do not seem to have a lot of health or neurological problems, so I think you may be onto something about the RhoGam. My allopathic eyes have also been opened in recent years with my own cancer….have pursued alternative to standard of care..and achieving good results after 7 years of working on it. This type of cancer in recurrence (which mine is) can be ugly and aggressive and is definitely now under control (actually NED) with integrative practices…standard of care would have killed me years ago. My prayer is that we are looking at a new era of transparency in health care….and informed consent for all products and procedures promoted by the medical industry.

Yes, moral decay and decimation of the traditional family are big factors, but I blame screens and pharma even more. I am in the grocery store in the middle of the day and see a mom with 2 in the shopping cart, both immersed in screens. I wanted to knock those things out of the kids' hands and say "what are you DOING?!" to the mom. Yet if you post such things on social media and get called 'judgey' but these poor kids looked like zombies. I worked part time when ours were little and they did go to daycare, but we were adamant that screen time be limited to an hour a day on weekdays and 2 hours a day on weekends. Yeah they cheated at friends houses and such, and we let the rules slide on a weekend here and there when we had a home improvement project underway. But bottom line, we let our kids be bored.

Eh, lifetime employment also sucked people into dead end jobs for fear of losing their pensions. I do agree that over time workplace loyalty has gone the way of the dodo bird, and that job security is no longer a given, but it's due to the rapid pace of change vs your veiled reference to the 'greedy corporations' argument. 46% of people work either as a solo business or for an employer with less than 500 employees. We have choices. We are responsible for making and keeping ourselves marketable vs saying the company owes us something due to the fact we have been there X number of years. I've been self-employed for 24 years, something that would have been impossible in my parent's generation.

“In 1967, 49 percent of mothers were stay-at-home mothers. That proportion steadily dropped through the decades until 1999, when only 23 percent of moms stayed at home. Since 1999, the percentage of mothers who stayed at home began to increase again, rising by 6 points to 29 percent in 2012. The researchers note that recent declines in the labor force participation rate and rising immigration were likely factors in the increase of the stay-at-home rate. They also indicate that the rise in the proportion of mothers who stayed at home will not likely continue because most mothers surveyed would like to work part-time or full-time.”

I also disagree with your boot 🥾 licking comment. It’s employees changing jobs to transition to upwardly 💰 jobs that creates most of the job turnover. Not corporations firing people that don’t kiss 💋 a$$. I know many people that have had the same job for years. Good employees aren’t that easy to come by and I think most business people realize that fact.

I believe most employers are happy to keep employees that are loyal to the company and work hard.

Lastly, I don’t think all of our problems are due to the disintegration of the family and the rise of fatherless, illegitimate children. I agree with some of the other commenters that vaccines have harmed ourselves and our children.

Our conversation is over.

Fable: DON'T ARGUE WITH “DONKEYS”

The donkey said to the tiger: - "The grass is blue".

The tiger replied: - "No, the grass is green."

The discussion heated up, and the two decided to submit to arbitration, and for this they went before the lion, the King of the Jungle.

Already before reaching the forest clearing, where the lion was sitting on his throne, the donkey began to shout:

- "His Highness, is it true that the grass is blue?".

The lion replied: - "True, the grass is blue."

The donkey hurried and continued: - "The tiger disagrees with me and contradicts and annoys me, please punish him."

The king then declared: - "The tiger will be punished with 5 years of silence."

The donkey jumped cheerfully and went on his way, content and repeating: - "The Grass Is Blue"

The tiger accepted his punishment, but sentencing before he asked the lion: - "Your Majesty, why have you punished me?, after all, the grass is green."

The lion replied: - "In fact, the grass is green."

The tiger asked: - "So why are you punishing me?".

The lion replied: - "That has nothing to do with the question of whether the grass is blue or green.

The punishment is because it is not possible for a brave and intelligent creature like you to waste time arguing with a donkey, and on top of that come and bother me with that question."

The worst waste of time is arguing with the fool and fanatic who does not care about truth or reality, but only the victory of his beliefs and illusions. Never waste time on arguments that don't make sense...

There are people who, no matter how much evidence and evidence we present to them, are not in the capacity to understand, and others are blinded by ego, hatred and resentment, and all they want is to be right even if they are not.

When ignorance screams, intelligence is silent. Your peace and quiet are worth more. ❤️

Here's an interview with the assassinated Russian general, Igor Kirillov.

"In August 2023, Kirillov outlined how the US and Big Pharma “rule the world” by “manufacturing biological crises”.

He also discussed how all of this evidence has been submitted to the UN many times, and gets vetoed every time by the US, because the US cannot refute the documentation.

Essentially, Kirillov found the paper trail proving that the US government, along with NGOs and oligarchs, created C19, and used it to generate trillions in profit for pharmaceutical companies via vaccine production, as well as advancing government overreach via emergency powers."

Yes, I was following Clandestine before Russia entered Ukraine, and it was not long afterward that he posted the clear evidence of the US bioweapons labs and locations.

As the contrived third world war gears up: This goes out to all the warmongers on c(r)apitol (s)hill and the beaten and broken soldiers who have experienced first-hand-hell because of them:

I've seen my buddies ambushed on the left and on the right

And their youthful bodies riddled by the bullets of the night

Where all the rules are broken and the only law is might

With our sweat we took the bunkers, with our tears we took the pain.

With our blood we took the mountains & then gave them back again.

Still, all of us are soldiers - we're too busy to complain.

When I reach my final campground in that land beyond the sun

And the great commander asks me, "Did you fight or did you run?"

I'll stand both straight and tall stripped of medals, rank and gun

"Sir, I followed all my orders and I did the best I could

It's hard to judge the enemy and hard to tell the good

Yet there's not a man among us who would not have understood

We took the jungle village exactly like they said

We responded to their rifle fire with everything we had

And when the smoke had cleared away a 100 souls lay dead

Sir, the soldier that's alive is the only one who can fight

There's no other way to wage a war when the only one in sight

That you're sure is not an enemy, is your buddy on your right

When all the wars are over and the battle's finally won

Count me only as a soldier who never left his gun

With the right to serve my country as the only prize I've won"

As we go marching on —C Company Feat Terry Nelson, Battle Hymn of Lt. Calley

When all the wars are over and i'm nothing but a ghost

Count me only as a soldier who never left his post

With the right to serve my country as my one and only boast —tri

Please send me your prayers C&C, they are desperately needed. You are in mine and my best goes out to all of you. Merry Christmas

Jeff, I have a suggestion for you, which I’ll come on to once I set the stage.  I live opposite a world class golf course in the UK.  At the end of August this year, the club hosted a significant ladies tournament, the Curtis Cup, which pitches a team from the UK and Ireland against the best from the US.  As part of the opening ceremony, the national anthems were played and it was the first time I’d heard the Star Spangled Banner for maybe a couple of decades.  Looking out of my kitchen window and seeing the current and veteran US team proudly placing their hands on their hearts brought a tear to my eye as I remembered what the tune represented to me, the great country the US used to be. 

Growing up, I remember the friendship the country had offered the UK, the generosity and warmth of all the Americans I had met through many visits.  You regained your swagger after Vietnam and Nixon and that allowed you to win the Cold War.  You were winners, superstars who gave us ‘I Love LA’ and ‘Born in USA’.  I think the tear was for the realisation of the loss of that country and the hope that maybe, a Trump victory would bring it back.  That HOPE was important to me and fostered almost exclusively from reading your stack.

The epochal event that was Trump’s victory is still settling in, and while I think it will beckon a golden era for the US, I’m only slightly hopeful that the tsunami that Don and Elon create when they unleash America will ripple over to UK shores.  My biggest hope is that we can ditch net zero as soon as possible.

So, my suggestion.  Time has moved on, and your Substack name Coffee and Covid seems a little out of date – we haven’t had a suddenly and unexpectedly update for a long time.  How about from 20th January, you rename it Coffee and Hope?

Thank you for all you do Jeff, yours is my favourite read on Substack, all the best to you, your family and all your readers, and may God bless America.

Dave

Young men have been dying suddenly in our town. The only reason it shows is that the “unexpected” deaths are happening to well-known young businessmen. To me, that means many young men unknown to me also likely are dying suddenly.

My mom’s doctor said today that the entire medical community now knows that we were “completely and unquestionably” lied to about Covid and the vaccines by the government and agencies that were supposed to protect us. Covid is not over, and never should be. As at Dachau, a “Never Again” memorial should be constructed in a highly visible place.

He’s playing each week and they show him on tv all the time (on purpose I’m sure 🙄). So, not dead, and recovered fully it appears. We look like idiots for all of our claims.

I’m not getting sucked into a Pelosi theory now. Who knows what the hell they are hiding? I’m sure they hid the truth of Hamlin and now they’re hiding the truth of Pelosi and we’ll never actually know the truth of what it is.
