C&C special: Trump vs. Musk goes Jurassic; AI school stuns with top scores; Karine’s diversity shield drops; Ukraine caught fibbing; tariffs win; youth strokes still “a mystery;” and lots more.
One of my favorite stories. In fact, years ago I wrote a post about Josiah and reposted on my stack more recently. It’s called “The Beating of Drums.” It does not have a paywall.
From that post - "RFK Jr. must be removed from office immediately, before he can cause further damage!" Agreed, but it will never happen. Not as long as Susie Wiles runs the show.
A nothing burger right now. Lots of red flags with the trump term so far. This was the biggest. Market possibly happy the trump/elon news is out, as the market does not like uncertainty.
God is good! I needed a verse to share with one of my kids caught up in a difficult situation, and your post was the first comment. Thank you Janice, and thank you Lord. It’s just what was needed.
And as a side note, the NASB is in my opinion, the most accurate and beautiful translation ever undertaken. It made me very happy to see it acknowledged as the source of your shared scriptures. 👍🏻😊
Regarding Trump and Musk…I think it’s ironic that two men simultaneously got their periods during pride month 🤦♀️. Give it a week. They’ll be besties again soon.
I believe it is all orchestrated. Timing is too perfect. Both are very smart men and know when to present a scheduled shitshow to the media to have them wag their tails and play Fetch with the ball both men are throwing. However, contrary to Jeff's statement that Trump no longer needs Musk, I do not agree. One never knows what the future holds and Musk is a vital resource when the chips are down.
Especially with Musk throwing off the Epstein comment. They want the Dems to want the Epstein information released, too! I think they have maneuvered for bipartisan desire to release the Epstein lists/files/videos, etc.
I think you are correct! If Trump was on the list, it would have been brought out when he was in his first term. Both Trump and Elon love this country… they are not going to do anything that will hurt the American people.
Because a lot more Democrats in all walks of life but especially celebrities and politicians are in the E-files and they haven't wanted the files released. This way, they're now demanding the release if there's any chance DJT is in them. Played right into the right's hands.
I don’t. I understand the desire to perceive it this way. I did for most of yesterday, even hoped for it. But then common sense overpowered my emotional desires. I haven’t yet seen Trump and this party outright lie and deceive their supporters. They spend time exposing that on the left. What would this look like if months from now we hear, “yeah, that was staged, but look what we revealed, look at what was accomplished from that stunt…” That would basically mean the ends justify the means, and that is not what MAGA embraces. That would also mean that we can never, ever trust anything they do or say ever again. I just don’t believe they would risk their credibility that way, by lying so blatantly to the public.
So that means it was organic. Now, will they use that? Of course.
I believe something lies beneath and that it served to detract the dems once again for them to look another way for a reason not yet known. Time will tell.
Do not discount how the left will react, even becoming Musk-avites again. This could help not only Tesla but Starlink becoming a major fix in the Air Traffic Controller system.
In an off topic but possibly a related isssue, SpaceX would be critical in mining the moon and or Mars!
I don't know about plasma, but supposedly the Chinese have a base on the dark side of the moon, that they will be using to mine Helium Three, which is supposedly useful in powering AI, and other things.
Well if you get rid of NASA you get rid of the biggest user of Helium in the world. Let that marinate. Not trying to be mean either. Think about why would they be the biggest user?
What I mean is that we are at the Finish Line of having any catastrophes or Wars anymore!!! President Trump is a President who does not believe in Wars. All of our Men & Women will be coming home. We will still have the best Military ever!! What was stolen from us will be given back. All of the tax money we should have never been charged, all the money that we paid for anything we shouldn’t have ever been charged for will be coming back to you. Look up Nesara on Yandex. Yandex is a platform you have to download to get any information! Any!! We will be debt free, we will be never wanting for another thing! It’s all about Humanity right now. What can you do for Humanity that would make our Country better? Think of a plan. Where your heart is. What bothers you about an area of life that you could make better.
It is going to come down to us in each Town making our own rules. I’m already thinking of who I would want to be with on a Team. I’m disabled but my Heart is with the Children and the Elderly! Both have been inhumanly treated!!!
If you download Yandex as your google and take Google away. Use Yandex as much as you can. Then look up things about the Sun and Moon. YouTube is allowing a whole lot more now again. But the Sun has a Patent. Tons of information coming out now because President Trump has control of the whole Country right now except the the ones who he has been friends with like Putin, XiXi, Mexico, Turkey, Saudi. Plus we have BRICS. It stands for Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa. Look up that words. All about Gold/Silver and our new money system. The Dollar is done. We just haven’t switched yet. But it’s all about Peace and Humanity now.
2. Plasma is one of the four (agreed, not three) states of matter, other than solid, liquid, or gas.
If I allowed myself, which I won't, the time to delve into the possibility that the moon is plasma, I would fail to eat and waste away, except for my cats interrupting me, lol. Not going there today anyway. But I won't discourage anyone else from going there.
3. As far as the money bit, I have been waiting for gold to hit a high and then watch Trump have the US stockpile revalued, but since I'm living on the 2025 version of a "widow's mite"-size income, I will be a spectator (not a gold owner) watching to see if the national debt is wiped out, and beneficial (for the American people) projects are forthcoming, or if once again, the US spends everything and more on stuff like going to Mars and AI, while us peasants are entertained to death.
3. Also, who knows what surprises will happen before the mid-terms to address those enemies in the camp we are also watching the Trump admin contend with.
4. God knows the perfect timing to contain us, bless us, teach us, console us, build us up, and take us home.
Well Anita that debt was paid for when President Trump won his first term. First he had to fix the constitution because the deep state changed it in 1871 so he changed the constitution made it back to the way it’s supposed to be and paid all the debt off. He also was in connection with the US postmaster of the whole United States. I can’t think of his name right now, but yeah that happened a long time ago.
I agree Juju. I follow Eric Metaxas and I loved what he had to say. He said that Elon is an unstable genius and Trump is a stable genius. But God’s hand is on Trump to lead this nation and we can put our trust in God.
It’s evident that Elon Musk is unstable, his behavior is quirky and erratic. He does weird stuff on a regular basis like carrying his five year old son around on his shoulders, taking him into the Oval Ofiice and showing up with a black eye that he got from that kid. This is not normal parenting folks.
I hope and pray that this will blow over without harm to the nation or to either of them, and that Jeff’s scenario of it being a win-win plays out well.
I agree that it doesn’t matter whether it’s real or not but I also don’t think it’s a win. It’s tarnishing both of them because they look like babies and not leaders. This is one of the reasons Trump lost support before. He’s the President of the United States. He should be above tantrums. I’m also disappointed in Elon. He’s always been for the people. This doesn’t help anyone.
Yes, you're right. So not exactly the same as what was just passed with the Moderna stuff. thanks for pointing that out .
I was having trouble editing my longish post.... so anyone interested can read the very recent substack from solarireport.substack.com . regarding the deep concerns about recent vax policies :
An Open Letter to HHS Secretary Kennedy and FDA Commissioner Marty Makary: Deliver on MAHA Agenda
yes, not happy about this IT IS NOT MAHA. I posted my two cents on Dan Scavino's feed today. I will continue to post it. Make no dang sense. RFK agreed to no more mRNA without placebo-controlled trials. We already know how toxic the mRNA is - what are they thinking? I am thinking that DARPA already had a new contract signed sealed and delivered when Biden rushed out the funs before the end of his Presidency., the money and the mfg. started before Trump took office., not sure though on how fast the lines work.
I agree he does need Musk in that it drove a lot of support for Trump but I also believe that Musk will return if its needed. I side with orchestrated.
This is my hunch too. And just a hunch. And I agree with today's C & C analysis because it not only gets both men off the hook but it also frees up both in being unencumbered by self-reinforcing distractions. Trump does not need upstaging in the White House. And Musk has companies to run. It's a perfect resolution. Maybe too perfect?
I also think that Trump and Putin are behind the scenes coordinating. And what is going on with Russia and the United States with regard to Iran so far seconds the motion. Just think about it. Both Trump and Putin want the war to end, to normalize relations and get business deals done. What is in the way of this? Idiot Clown Globalists acting out in the UK, EU and the United States. And the worse they act out, the easier for both Russia and the US to blame the recalcitrants for getting what they deserve by digging in their pathetic warmongering heels. See! It not Trump's fault that 'they' would not listen and sign a peace deal when the terms were actually the best 'they' could get.
The Commie Globalist are really not very smart people!
Yeah, the Trump-Musk thing strikes me as distraction. Look around for the smaller stories they don't want you noticing. Could have to do with the decade AI block on States rights in the BBB? Or possibly the increasing likely hood of banks failing from commercial real estate investment crash. Please recall the banks have a "bail-IN" fund now - that is YOUR money in all accounts.
Along with the Globalist controlled CIA, which is lobbing more crap from Ukraine at Russia. And Graham & company fiddling in Ukraine before it burns to the ground.
Trump had better pull the US from NATO; more than one reason for that, including the fact that EU & UK are quickly becoming part of the Caliphate. And Canada becoming part of the CCP is NOT going to be good for US.
He'd do well to end the CIA, but then, where do the agents go?
Yes, Lindsy and Bloomenthal each spent 400,000 each for two days in Ukraine? Reportedly, President Trump did not know they were going there? Then two days later Zelensky hits Russia and the Crimea bridge?
Yours is a fair question. And on the surface your thinking makes logical sense. But then again, there are the other factional players political to be considered, and to be considered with respect to their political supporters and contextually given that there is a 'to the death/all or nothing' civil war which is both somewhat covert and also by other means raging throughout the Collective West. And then there are the optics, the conditioning of political atmospherics that must be undertaken with careful preparation and implementation.
Putin's political position is pretty secure in that the Russian Federation is winning the war and dominating the entire theater and with immense Russian home support of the war effort. Trump's position is more precarious. Trump has to play every one of his cards just right. Trump has to do so in a way that he can walk away from a Globalist war not of his making and pin the tail on the donkey (his Globalist Perpetual War enemies). And everyone sees that the Crazy Clown Leaders are the bad cause and the blame. So far, Trump is playing it square straight up right, even though the noise and fury would suggest otherwise. And one tip off as to what is going, what Trump is up against is Blumenthal and Graham showing up in Kiev together (Globalist warmongering Uni-Party showing up doing their same still NeoCon vaudevillian routine). In short, Trump has a lot of political ground plowing and seeding to do before HE CAN walk away from this mess with political justification and satisfaction one his side.
This is getting long. So I'll end that the preponderance of intersecting self-interest favor Trump and Putin getting something done because they want the the same thing. They both want a normalization of relations and to get one with business and security issues favorable to both the United States and the Russian Federation. What is in the way are the petulant clown teenagers. And when in a confrontation between parent figures, the unruly dumb teenagers usually don't have a prayer.
Yesterday's C & C on Trump vs Musk was brilliant. And a key observation was that 'it does not matter whether the confrontation was real or just theater" ... it is still a win-win-win outcomes. This is an example, a brilliant example, of taking the analysis way beyond surface appearances. And it goes without saying that analysis of the political kind always is subject to revision when and as new developments present.
I think it's staged and is a deflection on what's happening. Between the KJP scandal - she's mediocre and a dei hire and now a traitor, and this "fighting" between trump and musk, I almost felt sorry for the libbies. How do they react? What are they to think and how to behave? I said almost. I have no sympathy for them.
The libs were throwing out popcorn memes in our faces with glee all day yesterday on X - but they still don’t understand us. 🤣 We already had our own popcorn popped. Lol
NEVER feel sorry for the libbies! Even almost. They do not, nor ever had, any sympathy for what they put President Trump through with all of their antics. Evil!!
Trump vs Musk? Gimme a break, they are still "besties". It was a complete psyop exactly as Childers explained.
One other thing... Trump, in his earlier life - way earlier, like every other horn-dog in NYC... was chasing and being chased by women. He and Epstein were in the same orbit for awhile. They needed to get that out there and get everything in proper time and context. I love how liberals rue the normal behavior between men and women (including the few normal liberals who still prefer sex between a man and a woman) while telling us gay sex, the perversion of men and women, the mental illness of "transgenders" is all a-ok and we are demanded to accept all of it as normal.
I know what he might have done on TV (did he?) in 2020 after the mask mandates...he would have shown up wearing as many masks as possible just as he showed up on TV wearing all the awareness ribbons showing how absurd the virtue signalling was and is.
In a similar fashion, if Rush was on social media...he would have had so many circles and badges around his profile picture it would completely obscure the picture.
Oh good Lord above WS. You are really going to quote TGP concerning criminal, lying POS Chris Cuomo (if his mouth is moving he is lying) and expect anyone to give it an iota of merit?
Trump and Musk are trolling the lying media and all the fools with TDS who believe the lying bastards and bastettes (bitches?) Musk put a lot on the line (everything?) to help get Trump across the finish line, Trump is loyal if nothing else... and he loves trolling idiots. Trump and Musk are having some fun.
Time will tell. My 2 cents says the Epstein attack was beyond the pale and Musk isn’t getting back in unless Trump has some very, very specific use for him.
Again WS, this notion that this is news, that everyone and his brother didn't already know Trump and epstein were in the same - wealthy - orbit chasing pussy is ridiculous. I don't think Trump went to the island. Why go? He was getting pussy galore in NYC and anywhere else he went. I think this was again, just a psyop to put it out to low information voters and minimize any damage in order to finally release the fucking files (no pun intended) so we can confirm all the other scumbags like prince andrew (vermin like bill gates? john roberts? etc) who were dipping into youths... epstein was whoring the girls no doubt, and I'm pretty sure they were okay with the exchange of goods... except that maybe they were too young to legally proffer the exchange and no one is going to admit they were whoring, especially the young women, because that is a crime.
This is Musk 2.0! Not the real Musk. So all of this is to wake people up. Gosh it’s so hard for you guys to see it. It’s Bafoonary in its finest! President Trump HAS IT ALL. Don’t try to read more into this stuff. Enjoy it! I’ve been laughing for years at all the 17’s we see in the news. Or 45-47. They are all clues to let you know everything is done! Completed ✔️! Fine’. I promise. We have switched from off the Fed already. It’s the news guys. They lie to you. Shut it down! Forever! They use the media to spread their lies. That’s how we were captured when we were born! Born into this Matrix that the deep state has put us in. We are getting out!! OUT!! This is not our Home.
I'd be lying to say that men aren't, by their fundamental nature, "horn dogs". If we weren't, we'd never find time to engage in creating more humans. (hmmm, lets see, I can play golf with the boys or have sex... well, the sex can wait, I need to birdie at least 5 holes today!!)
The problem is that in today's world, women have been indoctrinated to believe that sex is the end all of everything - they can even murder their own babies in the womb. And because of that, they have taken to giving up their most precious bodies for short term self gratification instead of understanding they can have everything, if they would only wait until marriage and develop a strong emotional bond with a good man (instead of one that simply wants to get in their panties...) but sadly, that perfect paradigm has been completely unraveled by evil in today's culture.
I hope so! I’m particularly sad about this since I loved the joy on Elon’s face when he was with Trump. He seemed to look at Trump as a father figure. Elon lost a lot while helping this country pull back from the brink of disaster. I’m not sure Trump could have done it without him. I’ll continue to pray for Elon and for their relationship.
If Musk migrates to and aligns with the Democrats, than Musk is Deep State. His wealth was built on Government contracts and the support of the CCP (Tesla). Hopefully, Trump and Musk make up. Trump doesn’t need a War with Musk. He’s got enough Wars to solve.
Whew! Thanks Jeff for your take on the titan conflict. It was a train wreck I couldn’t bear to watch yesterday and felt quite sick about it. I read a few really dismal stories and then stopped. Thanks for putting a positive spin on this. I certainly hope all is not lost as many were fond of saying. And thank you for pointing out the other positive things that went unnoticed in all the smoke.
Guys do this. My sons would complain about a problem with a friend. I would get all ‘spun up’ about it, then, while I am still steamed, they and their friend are chillin’. Now my granddaughters otoh…😳
I only ever “hear” all the worlds indeed a stage (and then we are merely players) in Geddy’s insanely high (but mighty) screech. Limelight is one of my favs.
Of course we can trust those A/i teachers to teach the children well or maybe indoctrinate them better than the humans ever could?
..."Why so many people are having strokes in their 20s, 30s and 40s: ‘We’ve never had patients so young’.”...this has hit home for the first time. One of my wife's grandchildren was in the prison system (MI) for a few years during covid. Of course she had to get the mRNA injections. How many? At least the first two.
At age 26, female, she has had two stroke episodes this week and is in the hospital for further testing. The doctors are saying it's a neuropathy problem or maybe a spinal fluid infection. This is too young of an age to be having a stroke. But you gotta know the elephant in the room will be ignored as the experts doctors remain expertly baffled.
Homeschool kids get their work done in a few hours too. It’s called doing actual school curriculum without all the crap garbage stuff thrown in there. Much like colleges requiring dance and bowling to get a computer science degree 🙄. Tailor education specifically for what is to be learned and let the rest go - then you have time for other stuff and graduate early as actual student who learned real educational material. Not hard if you stop letting teachers unions and politicians dictate everything.
AI - nope 👎🏻
Not every kid learns the same. Some can do online learning well and thrive and some just can’t and need a human to ask questions and problem solve.
As for the teachers - weed them out! Keep the good ones and fire the bad ones.
My son finished his first year of teaching last week. He turned out to be one of the phenomenal people ones (we never had him pegged as a teacher and we ate those words!) who the kids really loved! He is a student favorite because he treats them with respect, listens, requires respect and requires integrity. He has high school kids coming to him to talk about real life issues, the ones without friends come to his room during lunch where he welcomes them even though it means he doesn’t have time to eat, he goes above and beyond to any of them struggling and needing extra help and for a while he tutored them in different subjects than what he is a teacher for because their other teachers were not teaching them or helping them. He never bad mouthed said teachers either. And to ones who came to complain about other teachers he said he is not the person to come do that to and he won’t be their complaint box. He is creative in his teaching styles and makes it fun for them. I could go on and on. Biased? Maybe. Or maybe he’s just the kind of teacher I would want teaching my kids. Not AI.
Can’t like this enough. I am very suspicious of AI teaching kids. I’m a fan of homeschooling (though I know it’s not a via option for some folks). I love that your son has become one of the great teachers. May his tribe increase!
Ah Sunny—would that we could clone your son for every classroom in this country of ours. God bless him and his parents! His empathy, integrity, and genuine care for the students cannot be taught. You planted those seeds from the start. Standing O! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I actually think AI teaching when done honestly will drastically improve the learning opportunities available for the three types of preferred learning that don't fit the mainstream model. Will be far easier to have an AI determine which style is effective for each student and favor or isolate to that method.
Many, many kids get into trouble because the system sorts them into the "dumb" or problem groups only because they don't learn the standard way.
BTW, have you ever watched a teacher try to create engaging lessons for a new curriculum or style of teaching? AI has the ability to help the good ones create them in hours or days instead of months.
As usual, find the experts that can use the tool to create the customized implementations that meet your requirements. The only issue with AI will be finding a school you should trust.
No AI in schools. Very bad idea. I am so sorry to hear about your wife's grandchild who has had 2 strokes at 26. This is evil incarnate by these damn jabs and their satantic makers. WE NEED to tell the docs its the jabs until they listen. Beat it into their eardrums. We have to fight for what we know the cause is and make these coward docs listen. I truly hope she heals and please beg her never to take another jab of any kind ever.
Certainly, I consider it to be on the table as possible reasons.
Here is my question: for those getting strokes at a young age, is the "omission" of their vaccination status intentional, or do they simply not see a possible connection?
If you listen to any doctor-patient interview about new symptoms. The first question they ask is usually what medications they are on, and any changes in diet. So to ask that and to deny that an injected substance could have anything to do with it is absurd.
They are all part of the Industrial Medical Complex and some are part of the globalist agenda of depop. Most so called docs today are not docs, they are drug pushers and degenerates. And they no nothing about nutrition. They support Big Harma and get kickbacks.
I do think that very much like school in general, there is the illusion of consensus that acts like guardrails for the medical community. No one questions much of anything, definitely not virology and vaccinology. These are pillars of The Science™. Anyone who colors outside the lines is vilified and discredited and de-labcoated (defrocked).
Many wouldn't know it, but there have been outliers to a lot of things we take for granted. Some of them indeed are ridiculous, like flat-earthers. Just this past week on X, someone made the false equivalency argument of comparing peanut butter allergies to vaccines and claiming that those refusing vaccines would be tantamount to (my hyperbole here) hugging someone with peanut allergies after eating a peanut butter sandwich.
And I thought to myself, ironically, what if vaccines cause food allergies. And there are theories that this is something that could be true. I would like to know if there is a statistical correlation between vaccine status and food allergies.
very true but many of these docs had their licenses revoked and board certifications taken away and need to find other ways to support themselves. I find AMD's offerings are wonderful. Curederm for example. Never heard of it. Used for skin cancer. My dermatologists never told me about it. I am using it now, all natural and it is truly a wonder. I am telling everyone about it and learned about it from AMD.
I do think that is quite possible as we know jabs cause autism. Much research has proven this already. Shedding from the covid jab is real too. Best to ditch all jabs. Read the books Vax Facts and Turtles All the Way Down. You will never believe the indocrination we have been subjected to around jabs ever again.
Totally agree Lori. Also a good one to read is Dissolving Illusions by Suzanne Humphries, MD and Roman Bystrianyk. Another good source of information is to go to The National Vaccine Information Center website.
I've heard "turtles all the way down" mentioned. I subscribe to "Lies are Unbekoming" on Substack and they have talked about that book, and there are many others. I downloaded a couple of books and papers from the 1800's that were against the virus/vaccine narrative from it was first conceived. To hear about the smallpox vaccine/inoculation alone is a big eye-opener.
I’ve fired 6 doctors over the past 4 years because when they recommend Statins or shots I figure they don’t bother to do research. I give them the lecture on how bad these medical poisons are and walk out. Hopefully I’ve left them with something to think about.
Good for you, someone with balls (excuse the language). Way past time. I hope you leave a forever impression for them to perform due diligence and don't follow like lemmings bc the AMA/CDC/NIH/FDA says it is only one way. Praying more will come forward like you to speak about what is happening in the Medical Industrial Complex.
Too many people are afraid of the cancel culture. I have stopped holding my tongue. I can’t remember who said it, but smolder woman chided the “hurt feelings” group by saying there are NO safe spaces. Hurt Feelings are a consequence of living
I agree 100%. I could care less about cancel culture. I am not intimidated and am no snowflake. When the shit hits the fan, I will survive, the cancel culture numbnuts will not.
If people want fully supervised, well-educated, self-reliant, inquisitive kids, homeschool. It takes only a couple hours a day and you can spend the rest of the day having fun.
My daughter, at age 31 and in perfect health, suffered a stroke in 2018 prior to the COVID shots. Of course the doctors were baffled as to the cause. I’ve always wondered if the Gardasil vaccine, which she received, had something to do with it.
My husband has speculated that Elon might be on medication for depression which could be causing these outbursts. Many medications will have an impact on mood/personality. Elon has done many good things and I hate to see people turning on him so quickly. He has been under tremendous stress with death threats, cars being destroyed amongst other pressures.
A part of me wondered if that might have been part of the reason that Trump went silent last night. Maybe he ordered a wellness check on Elon. It’s a possibility. For all of his bluster, Trump has a really big heart and may have been really concerned for his friend.
I sure wish they both had someone who filtered their tweets or would take their phones away when tempted to make ugly posts like that. It just seemed to have gone a bit overboard even if it was supposed to be staged. If they can’t use some self-control as world leaders, could they please hire a “mommy” to hold their iPhone.
I noticed earlier that Elon hasn’t posted. Maybe someone is helping him. I hope so, because I think he will look back on this episode one day and feel badly about his posts. We all make mistakes and have regrets.
I agree with you. This has been a long, arduous ordeal and most people would not be able to sustain the level of crazy he's endured. I hope he will now have that chance to go back to what he truly enjoys and one day look back and be able to reflect on all of the good he tried (and accomplished) for the nation. For now, like Jeff said, I hope Musk will be able to refocus on his real love: Mars (though I really wish he would focus on the depths of the earth for more fun stuff that actually lives).
Agreed. Something had to crack eventually in this pressure cooker situation- who else could survive this? But I remember that he and his gf Canadian musician "Grimes", mother of their son X - when they hosted SNL together- they both had a literal mental breakdown after the experience- she worse than he. Being on the spectrum like he is, is no joke. They don't process stress the same way, even positive stressors. Whether it's a calculated fight or not, I'm just having so much mental fatigue!
Elon is "on the spectrum" as they say. My 39 year old son is also similar, and he can react to things in a very overblown way like Musk has done. It blows over, but he often has trouble controlling his stronger than necessary reactions when something emotional is involved. I would also add that Elon is undoubtedly under enormous stress (much of it self imposed). I've seen that my son gets more volatile in his reactions when under stress.
Yes, seen stuff on X hurling accusations about all kinds of drug use. Who knows!? Other than both men operate on a different plane that most of us average Joes - I sometimes feel overwhelmed just trying to run my small biz, take care of my mom and maintain my household affairs, including all the weeds popping up in my gardens after a week of rain - can't imagine the stress of running literal empires that these 2 guys manage on a daily basis. I guess being an average Joe (Jane, lol) isn't all bad....
Donna in MO, lately I’ve been thinking about how all these ultra rich people never have to do mundane task like grocery shopping, cooking, laundry, weeding the garden etc which leaves so much time to concentrate on their jobs and fun activities. I’m content but boy wouldn’t it be nice 😊
True, but then you have to supervise all these people who do all your chores for you. Kind of like when the kids were home and we'd give them chores to do and all the bitching, moaning and correcting them for the poor job they did the first time was a job in and of itself, LOL.
I've read that he has Aspergers Syndrome and it's responsible for much of his unusual behaviors. I'd say, overall he's doing really well and we all just need to adapt to his behavior or ignore it.
Elon did say in an interview during the height of the Tesla massacres that he was really struggling with why people were doing it and why he had so, so many death threats. I also believe he's either self-medicating or on a powerful anti-depressant.
Yep other than my daily dose of C&C I have more or less checked out lately, aside from local issues. Call me when something real actually happens.
There is some good news on my local front - a big name D who had his eye on the County Exec spot next year just imploded, arrested on domestic battery charges. Granted there is a pack of jackals circling to take his spot but still nice to see justice served once in a while.
I've pretty much checked out, as well. However, something doesn't smell right in the Manny situation. The body language of the wife in the "missing + concern" statement did not ring true. (Don't put anything past Frank White!).
Well yes the inside scoop is the D party is pissed at him for cooperating with Sean Smith (one of the 2 R's on the legislature, although Jeanie is worthless and will be primaried if she runs next year) to try and derail Frank White. Manny has a day job working in some kind of consultant role for unions and they helped finance the Recall Frank White effort. So no doubt this is payback. Although I have also heard he has anger issues and so do not doubt he assaulted his wife. Too often such guys get by with bad behavior due to their insider status.
Although the Shawnee location of the alleged incident is curious. They are supposed to live in their districts and wonder if she had not tossed him out and he was living with his dad in Shawnee? And I am confused about the 'custody' issue as if they are still married at this point, not sure how she can be 'awarded custody' if there has not been a formal divorce yet. No fan of Manny, think he is a climber and an opportunist - he did next to nothing when the property tax debacle hit other than host a couple of town halls, whereas Sean worked his butt off helping people with appeals, the senior tax credit,. etc.
Thanks for the info. I wondered about the Shawnee address, as well. Plenty of dirty politics in KCMO. I appreciate and support Sean... He's about the only conservative we have in Jackson County. BTW, I received my property tax assessment in the mail yesterday. It delivered what was promised. For me, it will be a small tax reduction, but every dollar counts. Thanks again!
Well my friend Susan Culpepper is going to announce a run in the county legislature in the 5th district for 2026 soon, she is a real conservative. Many years on the Blue Springs CC. Not sure what Sean is going to do yet, he is up in 2026 too. I knocked a ton of doors for him against Cleaver last year but it was a horrid loss, can't beat Freedom Inc. Our assessment notice came today and our value went down!? Go figure. Not going to complain, like you said, every dollar counts! Our tax bill went up by $1200 in 23.
I wish Ms Culpepper luck. We need good conservative voices. I supported $ Sean, and would again. Cleaver is worthless.
There are a lot of dog walkers in my HOA. I spend hours talking with fellow female seniors. It is amazing how many still believe everything they hear on the local news.😵💫 If I can open one person's eyes, it is worth the effort.
And yes, keep talking!!! Although my 86 YO mom is the same, lifelong D who can't see that the party left her and watches CNN. Did get her to vote for Teresa Galvin, but refused to vote for Sean. She is in assisted living and doesn't drive so pays $0 property tax so didn't appreciate all his work helping seniors.
I don't get it - my team and I covered probably 2/3rds of Raytown at the doors - and it was overwhelmingly positive - a few said they were registering to vote for the first time. Only a handful of unhinged lefties, although only 1 in 4 or 5 actually open their doors when you knock. Also covered parts of Indep, Blue Springs and LS. Sean couldn't get the big donors to pony up as Cook Political Report had handicapped the race at -11 points, and evidently the big $ reads that. I thought, he'll get close and then run again in '26 and get the $$. NOPE. Also knocked a bunch of doors for Teresa Galvin in '22 - Waldo, Brookside, in addition to eastern Jack. Waldo and Brookside a waste of time - people asking if she was MAGA and her stance on abortion - even though those issues have nothing to do with Jackson County. Same results - Frank White walked away with it. She's pretty much pivoted to spending a lot of time in FL with her grandkids. I will think long and hard before I spend a lot of time supporting a county wide race next year. Patterson is my rep and he terms out as does Keri Ingle so will probably focus on state races next year. Ingle is already raising money to run for Cierpiot's SD 8 seat as he terms out too, so D's will be bringing their A game. She is odious but popular, unfortunately. LS is turning purple. And abortion will be on the ballot again as HJR 73 passed, and that will motivate D turnout, sadly.
My Rep (D36) is Anthony Ealy. He was not my choice. But, for a D, he's not bad. He is friendly, always shows up outside my polling place and sends out an excellent weekly email.
It's tough being a conservative in a blue district... But, not as vicious as when I lived in CA, NM and VA!
You can thank those who manipulated down ballot races to erase any substantial increase in winning the house and senate. That's one way to slow things down. Plus there are a lot of money-grubbing elected leaders who despise the ability of Trump to turn off war-based donations. I'm guessing the USAID tap ran very deep to water a LOT of organized conflicts both domestically and abroad.
I’m not a Dr., however I believe I could prescribe a cure for your illness. It’s only slightly painful if you don’t overexpose yourself to the procedure. It involves looking at our new Canadian government ( I suggest maybe covering one eye) for maybe 10-15 minutes. This should bring relief to your malady.
My wife noted to me homeschoolers have had one in one adaptive education tailored to a student with the rest of the day to such activities for some time now. It works well and is efficient and students thrive.
We homeschooled our children for 8 years. Their school day began at 9am and ended at noon. The rest of the day they were outside being feral. We used P.A.C.E. out of Florida.
Teach a kid to educate themselves, and they will learn for life.
The problem with much of school is they don't teach you how to fish. Sure, you were taught to do a research paper, at least I was back in the eighties, but it didn't inspire me to want to go out and independently research and do things. In fact, the whole ordeal felt very artificial.
I was given a list of topics from which to pick, but wished I had gotten to choose. Imagine a kid given a choice what to write about...what to research, what to seek out. School tends to stifle that inclination.
"Teach a kid to educate themselves, and they will learn for life."
Bam! Hit the nail on the head. As one who "homeschooled" both my boys all the way through high school, I can say that is exactly right. Except for the early phonic skills and the basic math skills, my boys were completely self-taught using the curriculum I supplied which took them all the way through calculus and college level physics by the time they finished 12th grade.
I always told my boys that I didn't care what career path they took, janitor or physicist, but they were going to have the skills to do ANYTHING they wanted.
The goal of most homeschoolers I know is to get the kids to love to learn. I’ve heard so many amazing stories of homeschool kids doing fantastic things
One of the greatest gifts my teacher parents gave/imparted to me was to learn to be a self-learner. And then be one. I spent time regularly in libraries, beginning with parttime jobs, until Google came along. Now, it's my lifeline to knowledge since I'm retired and don't get out much. You just have to know how to word search and what sources are credible. The more you practice, the better you get at it.
Have you noticed any change in the Google results as of late? My theory is that Google is giving bad results to highlight the reliance on the "AI overview," which puts an intermediary between us and deciding what sources are credible.
Yes, when I am looking up news or science/medical stuff, you definitely have to look at page 2, 3, 4 of the search results, because the usual corporate media darlings are listed first.
Excellent observation. "Alpha School" sounded very much like Home Schooling programs I have read about. Perhaps AI education tools will be the next resource available to home scholling parents. I would be interested in knowing if available alternative K-12 sylibi such as the Ron Paul Institute's or Hillsdale College's provide equivalent or better outcomes than Alpha School's. Lastly, intimate knowledge of the large language model used for the Alpha School's AI sylibus is critical to insuring the curriculum reflects a "world view" acceptable to parents.
The Reckoning can't come soon enough for me. Just this week, an 18 year old young man told my husband he is scheduled for a stress test due to continuing heart problems which began right after his covid injection about 2 years ago. He was mandated to take the shot in order to play basketball.
I'm totally freaking out but waiting the signal from...God. 😶 having been with the Counselor, small c 😁, since very early 20, it was really hard to listen to how so many churches were deceived. What a threshing!!
"The two mens’ ugly public divorce —which I will argue was also critically necessary— is the third phase."
I suspect that the Trump-Musk 'divorce' is scripted theater for popular consumption. This is playing out much like the public display of disaffection when Zelenskyy visited the White House. The added layer is watching the DNC braintrust flirting with inviting Elon back into the DNC camp and the Faux News crowd doing the play-by-play. Elon is the consummate politician.
Neither Shakespeare nor Orwell could have scripted this farce any better.
As a veteran homeschooler, (34 years, 11 children all now college graduates) the “new” way of education with AI is the way we’ve been doing it for years! A few hours of core academics then lots of time to explore other interests!
As one who also "homeschooled" my boys all the way through high school, I can attest the same. The AI school model is going to absolutely BREAK the institutional, one-size-fits all school model that teaches to the lowest common denominator. State (public) education is Dead-Man-Walking.
That ‘lowest common denominator’ always angered me. My kids were often bored or helping others learn because they grasped concepts quickly but had to stay with the group. I wonder what they could have accomplished from an AI curriculum focused on their learning. 😳😖
You remind me of a very good movie called "Stand and Deliver" that was a motivator for me for home schooling. In the movie the protagonist tells the school administration, "The children will rise to the level of your expectations." The implication was that the school was preventing the students from excelling because their expectations for the students was too low. Happens ALL the time.
For the LORD of hosts will have a day of reckoning
Against everyone who is proud and lofty
And against everyone who is lifted up,
That he may be abased.
. . .
The pride of man will be humbled
And the loftiness of men will be abased;
And the LORD alone will be exalted in that day[.]
— Isaiah 2:12, 17a NAS
What a perfect Biblical passage, Janice! Thank you.
The Lord led me to it through a search on the word “exalted.”
I’m going to copy you and search “reckoning”.
Ok, I did and the first one has me laughing at God’s sense of humor! 2 Kings 22- the ORIGINAL DOGE, just as little
8 year old, JUST and UPRIGHT King Josiah is tearing all the idols down and building a … (wait for it…)WALL! 😝💕
LOL love this! God’s sense of humor is the best.
I’m also a fan of Psalm 37:13 “The Lord laughs at [the wicked], for He sees that their own day [of defeat] is coming.” (AMPC)
One of my favorite stories. In fact, years ago I wrote a post about Josiah and reposted on my stack more recently. It’s called “The Beating of Drums.” It does not have a paywall.
🤣👍
The other "e" word would be "ego".
Interesting post from the Breggins today. Wonderful God-centered people.

From that post - "RFK Jr. must be removed from office immediately, before he can cause further damage!" Agreed, but it will never happen. Not as long as Susie Wiles runs the show.
Amen.
HALLELUJAH! This is perfect (of course!) 😄👏🏼✝️🙏🏼💟
GOD WINS ALWAYS!
This could trigger a sell off on Wall St.
In which case I'll be shopping, again , just as I did in March and April.
Ironically, at least for moment. Market way up today. …supposedly on jobs report. I always look for the BS headline.
A nothing burger right now. Lots of red flags with the trump term so far. This was the biggest. Market possibly happy the trump/elon news is out, as the market does not like uncertainty.
Dow up today
Does not seem to be happening today! But still early!
Speculators gotta manipulate.
Which is why I don't jump in an out on this roller coaster market.
God is good! I needed a verse to share with one of my kids caught up in a difficult situation, and your post was the first comment. Thank you Janice, and thank you Lord. It’s just what was needed.
And as a side note, the NASB is in my opinion, the most accurate and beautiful translation ever undertaken. It made me very happy to see it acknowledged as the source of your shared scriptures. 👍🏻😊
Amen, Amen!
The day of reckoning was the day our Lord was crucified. The Judge of all was judged for all.
2 Corinthians 5:19
Where sin abounds, grace much more...all will be well. 1 Timothy 4:10
As always, the Abrahamo-Platonists demand sniveling and abasement. Anything else is 'pride' and very bad.
Regarding Trump and Musk…I think it’s ironic that two men simultaneously got their periods during pride month 🤦♀️. Give it a week. They’ll be besties again soon.
I believe it is all orchestrated. Timing is too perfect. Both are very smart men and know when to present a scheduled shitshow to the media to have them wag their tails and play Fetch with the ball both men are throwing. However, contrary to Jeff's statement that Trump no longer needs Musk, I do not agree. One never knows what the future holds and Musk is a vital resource when the chips are down.
Especially with Musk throwing off the Epstein comment. They want the Dems to want the Epstein information released, too! I think they have maneuvered for bipartisan desire to release the Epstein lists/files/videos, etc.
We all know that if Trump was on that list, the Deep State would’ve used it by now and he’d be gone.
I think you are correct! If Trump was on the list, it would have been brought out when he was in his first term. Both Trump and Elon love this country… they are not going to do anything that will hurt the American people.
Bingo.
If Trump was in that report it would gave been on the street years ago.
Yes, we all know that, but those with TDS can’t fathom that Trump is probably the cleanest politician in DC.
I was going to post the same thought. Those 2 planned this tiff to have the libtards demand the Epstein files. It’s so rich 🤣
Tiny B, why?
They can release the files if they want to.
They already promised they would.
Why would they need Democrats to demand release?
They’re in power; they won the election…
That's an interesting angle.
Carol, I don’t understand this line of thinking.
Trump, Bondi, Patel & Bongino have the power to release the files.
They don’t need Democrats’ permission or support to do this.
They can just do it. As they promised they would.
Because a lot more Democrats in all walks of life but especially celebrities and politicians are in the E-files and they haven't wanted the files released. This way, they're now demanding the release if there's any chance DJT is in them. Played right into the right's hands.
Haha, Lori, one of my dear husband’s favorite sayings is “don’t chase the stick”!
I don’t. I understand the desire to perceive it this way. I did for most of yesterday, even hoped for it. But then common sense overpowered my emotional desires. I haven’t yet seen Trump and this party outright lie and deceive their supporters. They spend time exposing that on the left. What would this look like if months from now we hear, “yeah, that was staged, but look what we revealed, look at what was accomplished from that stunt…” That would basically mean the ends justify the means, and that is not what MAGA embraces. That would also mean that we can never, ever trust anything they do or say ever again. I just don’t believe they would risk their credibility that way, by lying so blatantly to the public.
So that means it was organic. Now, will they use that? Of course.
I believe something lies beneath and that it served to detract the dems once again for them to look another way for a reason not yet known. Time will tell.
Do not discount how the left will react, even becoming Musk-avites again. This could help not only Tesla but Starlink becoming a major fix in the Air Traffic Controller system.
In an off topic but possibly a related isssue, SpaceX would be critical in mining the moon and or Mars!
Better do it before the Chinese. They are mucking about up there, so....
Later Jay
Jeff you can’t Mine Plasma. That’s what the Moon is. And believe it or not, Mars is on the other side of the Ice Wall. Look at old Maps.
I don't know about plasma, but supposedly the Chinese have a base on the dark side of the moon, that they will be using to mine Helium Three, which is supposedly useful in powering AI, and other things.
Well if you get rid of NASA you get rid of the biggest user of Helium in the world. Let that marinate. Not trying to be mean either. Think about why would they be the biggest user?
I’m so interested to hear what you mean! Intriguing! Thanks
What I mean is that we are at the Finish Line of having any catastrophes or Wars anymore!!! President Trump is a President who does not believe in Wars. All of our Men & Women will be coming home. We will still have the best Military ever!! What was stolen from us will be given back. All of the tax money we should have never been charged, all the money that we paid for anything we shouldn’t have ever been charged for will be coming back to you. Look up Nesara on Yandex. Yandex is a platform you have to download to get any information! Any!! We will be debt free, we will be never wanting for another thing! It’s all about Humanity right now. What can you do for Humanity that would make our Country better? Think of a plan. Where your heart is. What bothers you about an area of life that you could make better.
It is going to come down to us in each Town making our own rules. I’m already thinking of who I would want to be with on a Team. I’m disabled but my Heart is with the Children and the Elderly! Both have been inhumanly treated!!!
I'm still stuck on the moon is made of plasma... lol
If you download Yandex as your google and take Google away. Use Yandex as much as you can. Then look up things about the Sun and Moon. YouTube is allowing a whole lot more now again. But the Sun has a Patent. Tons of information coming out now because President Trump has control of the whole Country right now except the the ones who he has been friends with like Putin, XiXi, Mexico, Turkey, Saudi. Plus we have BRICS. It stands for Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa. Look up that words. All about Gold/Silver and our new money system. The Dollar is done. We just haven’t switched yet. But it’s all about Peace and Humanity now.
1. don't use Google already.
2. Plasma is one of the four (agreed, not three) states of matter, other than solid, liquid, or gas.
If I allowed myself, which I won't, the time to delve into the possibility that the moon is plasma, I would fail to eat and waste away, except for my cats interrupting me, lol. Not going there today anyway. But I won't discourage anyone else from going there.
3. As far as the money bit, I have been waiting for gold to hit a high and then watch Trump have the US stockpile revalued, but since I'm living on the 2025 version of a "widow's mite"-size income, I will be a spectator (not a gold owner) watching to see if the national debt is wiped out, and beneficial (for the American people) projects are forthcoming, or if once again, the US spends everything and more on stuff like going to Mars and AI, while us peasants are entertained to death.
3. Also, who knows what surprises will happen before the mid-terms to address those enemies in the camp we are also watching the Trump admin contend with.
4. God knows the perfect timing to contain us, bless us, teach us, console us, build us up, and take us home.
That's what I'm counting on.
Well Anita that debt was paid for when President Trump won his first term. First he had to fix the constitution because the deep state changed it in 1871 so he changed the constitution made it back to the way it’s supposed to be and paid all the debt off. He also was in connection with the US postmaster of the whole United States. I can’t think of his name right now, but yeah that happened a long time ago.
I agree Juju. I follow Eric Metaxas and I loved what he had to say. He said that Elon is an unstable genius and Trump is a stable genius. But God’s hand is on Trump to lead this nation and we can put our trust in God.
It’s evident that Elon Musk is unstable, his behavior is quirky and erratic. He does weird stuff on a regular basis like carrying his five year old son around on his shoulders, taking him into the Oval Ofiice and showing up with a black eye that he got from that kid. This is not normal parenting folks.
I hope and pray that this will blow over without harm to the nation or to either of them, and that Jeff’s scenario of it being a win-win plays out well.
What's wrong with carrying his son on his shoulders?
I agree that it doesn’t matter whether it’s real or not but I also don’t think it’s a win. It’s tarnishing both of them because they look like babies and not leaders. This is one of the reasons Trump lost support before. He’s the President of the United States. He should be above tantrums. I’m also disappointed in Elon. He’s always been for the people. This doesn’t help anyone.
That whole thing is a distraction that’s it!!! Don’t read so much into it.
@alongername: your link is from September 2023
Yes, you're right. So not exactly the same as what was just passed with the Moderna stuff. thanks for pointing that out .
I was having trouble editing my longish post.... so anyone interested can read the very recent substack from solarireport.substack.com . regarding the deep concerns about recent vax policies :
An Open Letter to HHS Secretary Kennedy and FDA Commissioner Marty Makary: Deliver on MAHA Agenda
it's too late for me to rewrite my post (somewhere in the comments) .
basically I am calling out the smoke and mirrors used to distract from one of the top promised missions of change . That of MAHA .
THIS...... is what is going on : https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/fda-takes-action-updated-mrna-covid-19-vaccines-better-protect-against-currently-circulating
yes, not happy about this IT IS NOT MAHA. I posted my two cents on Dan Scavino's feed today. I will continue to post it. Make no dang sense. RFK agreed to no more mRNA without placebo-controlled trials. We already know how toxic the mRNA is - what are they thinking? I am thinking that DARPA already had a new contract signed sealed and delivered when Biden rushed out the funs before the end of his Presidency., the money and the mfg. started before Trump took office., not sure though on how fast the lines work.
An Open Letter to HHS Secretary Kennedy and FDA Commissioner Marty Makary: Deliver on MAHA Agenda

I agree he does need Musk in that it drove a lot of support for Trump but I also believe that Musk will return if its needed. I side with orchestrated.
This is my hunch too. And just a hunch. And I agree with today's C & C analysis because it not only gets both men off the hook but it also frees up both in being unencumbered by self-reinforcing distractions. Trump does not need upstaging in the White House. And Musk has companies to run. It's a perfect resolution. Maybe too perfect?
I also think that Trump and Putin are behind the scenes coordinating. And what is going on with Russia and the United States with regard to Iran so far seconds the motion. Just think about it. Both Trump and Putin want the war to end, to normalize relations and get business deals done. What is in the way of this? Idiot Clown Globalists acting out in the UK, EU and the United States. And the worse they act out, the easier for both Russia and the US to blame the recalcitrants for getting what they deserve by digging in their pathetic warmongering heels. See! It not Trump's fault that 'they' would not listen and sign a peace deal when the terms were actually the best 'they' could get.
The Commie Globalist are really not very smart people!
Yeah, the Trump-Musk thing strikes me as distraction. Look around for the smaller stories they don't want you noticing. Could have to do with the decade AI block on States rights in the BBB? Or possibly the increasing likely hood of banks failing from commercial real estate investment crash. Please recall the banks have a "bail-IN" fund now - that is YOUR money in all accounts.
Along with the Globalist controlled CIA, which is lobbing more crap from Ukraine at Russia. And Graham & company fiddling in Ukraine before it burns to the ground.
Trump had better pull the US from NATO; more than one reason for that, including the fact that EU & UK are quickly becoming part of the Caliphate. And Canada becoming part of the CCP is NOT going to be good for US.
He'd do well to end the CIA, but then, where do the agents go?
Yes, Lindsy and Bloomenthal each spent 400,000 each for two days in Ukraine? Reportedly, President Trump did not know they were going there? Then two days later Zelensky hits Russia and the Crimea bridge?
Indeed!
DaveR,
Surely if Trump & Putin really want a deal, they’d just make one? Fait accompli.
Putin would withdraw from Ukraine & stop fighting - for whatever he could get in return. Ukraine staying out of Nato, some trade deal with America…
Couldn’t they just by-pass Macron, Von der Leyen & Starmer?
Yours is a fair question. And on the surface your thinking makes logical sense. But then again, there are the other factional players political to be considered, and to be considered with respect to their political supporters and contextually given that there is a 'to the death/all or nothing' civil war which is both somewhat covert and also by other means raging throughout the Collective West. And then there are the optics, the conditioning of political atmospherics that must be undertaken with careful preparation and implementation.
Putin's political position is pretty secure in that the Russian Federation is winning the war and dominating the entire theater and with immense Russian home support of the war effort. Trump's position is more precarious. Trump has to play every one of his cards just right. Trump has to do so in a way that he can walk away from a Globalist war not of his making and pin the tail on the donkey (his Globalist Perpetual War enemies). And everyone sees that the Crazy Clown Leaders are the bad cause and the blame. So far, Trump is playing it square straight up right, even though the noise and fury would suggest otherwise. And one tip off as to what is going, what Trump is up against is Blumenthal and Graham showing up in Kiev together (Globalist warmongering Uni-Party showing up doing their same still NeoCon vaudevillian routine). In short, Trump has a lot of political ground plowing and seeding to do before HE CAN walk away from this mess with political justification and satisfaction one his side.
This is getting long. So I'll end that the preponderance of intersecting self-interest favor Trump and Putin getting something done because they want the the same thing. They both want a normalization of relations and to get one with business and security issues favorable to both the United States and the Russian Federation. What is in the way are the petulant clown teenagers. And when in a confrontation between parent figures, the unruly dumb teenagers usually don't have a prayer.
Yesterday's C & C on Trump vs Musk was brilliant. And a key observation was that 'it does not matter whether the confrontation was real or just theater" ... it is still a win-win-win outcomes. This is an example, a brilliant example, of taking the analysis way beyond surface appearances. And it goes without saying that analysis of the political kind always is subject to revision when and as new developments present.
Great question!
Or daver, the really smart ones just haven't crack the whip yet. I don't mean to be a doggy downer but, it's foretold....
Later Jay
I too believe it is planned theater another MAGA moment🇺🇲
My first thought was that it is all political theater.
I agree, it’s just too “perfect.”
I think it's staged and is a deflection on what's happening. Between the KJP scandal - she's mediocre and a dei hire and now a traitor, and this "fighting" between trump and musk, I almost felt sorry for the libbies. How do they react? What are they to think and how to behave? I said almost. I have no sympathy for them.
I can’t pop enough popcorn…
Popcorn futures are up! 😉
The libs were throwing out popcorn memes in our faces with glee all day yesterday on X - but they still don’t understand us. 🤣 We already had our own popcorn popped. Lol
Ugh, why did we have to get such a popcorn worthy event during my 36 hour fast!
My corn popper is running at Rose Law Firm speed, and can't keep up.
Meanwhile, retirement age rises and the economy grows worse: https://unorthodoxy.substack.com/p/they-want-you-watching-elon-and-trump
Good grief…
NEVER feel sorry for the libbies! Even almost. They do not, nor ever had, any sympathy for what they put President Trump through with all of their antics. Evil!!
Never. No none ever
Trump vs Musk? Gimme a break, they are still "besties". It was a complete psyop exactly as Childers explained.
One other thing... Trump, in his earlier life - way earlier, like every other horn-dog in NYC... was chasing and being chased by women. He and Epstein were in the same orbit for awhile. They needed to get that out there and get everything in proper time and context. I love how liberals rue the normal behavior between men and women (including the few normal liberals who still prefer sex between a man and a woman) while telling us gay sex, the perversion of men and women, the mental illness of "transgenders" is all a-ok and we are demanded to accept all of it as normal.
Of course WE have known that for years now, but the uninformed from Portland, or Rio Linda, don’t.
Love the Rio Linda reference! I still miss El Rushbo! Can you imagine what he would have had to say about the world today?
Mrs. "the Knife"
Was just about to say the same thing! 😃👏 He would have had a lot to say!
Rush coined many phrases that we should keep in our hearts and minds. I use 'low information voters' in referring to democrat voters quite often.
I often find myself wondering what Rush would have said... there are times when I know exactly what he would have said.
I know what he might have done on TV (did he?) in 2020 after the mask mandates...he would have shown up wearing as many masks as possible just as he showed up on TV wearing all the awareness ribbons showing how absurd the virtue signalling was and is.
In a similar fashion, if Rush was on social media...he would have had so many circles and badges around his profile picture it would completely obscure the picture.
I disagree. Trump is done with Musk forever, except maybe for a defamation lawsuit.
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/06/chris-cuomo-has-bombshell-theory-why-trump-is/
Oh good Lord above WS. You are really going to quote TGP concerning criminal, lying POS Chris Cuomo (if his mouth is moving he is lying) and expect anyone to give it an iota of merit?
Trump and Musk are trolling the lying media and all the fools with TDS who believe the lying bastards and bastettes (bitches?) Musk put a lot on the line (everything?) to help get Trump across the finish line, Trump is loyal if nothing else... and he loves trolling idiots. Trump and Musk are having some fun.
Time will tell. My 2 cents says the Epstein attack was beyond the pale and Musk isn’t getting back in unless Trump has some very, very specific use for him.
Again WS, this notion that this is news, that everyone and his brother didn't already know Trump and epstein were in the same - wealthy - orbit chasing pussy is ridiculous. I don't think Trump went to the island. Why go? He was getting pussy galore in NYC and anywhere else he went. I think this was again, just a psyop to put it out to low information voters and minimize any damage in order to finally release the fucking files (no pun intended) so we can confirm all the other scumbags like prince andrew (vermin like bill gates? john roberts? etc) who were dipping into youths... epstein was whoring the girls no doubt, and I'm pretty sure they were okay with the exchange of goods... except that maybe they were too young to legally proffer the exchange and no one is going to admit they were whoring, especially the young women, because that is a crime.
This is Musk 2.0! Not the real Musk. So all of this is to wake people up. Gosh it’s so hard for you guys to see it. It’s Bafoonary in its finest! President Trump HAS IT ALL. Don’t try to read more into this stuff. Enjoy it! I’ve been laughing for years at all the 17’s we see in the news. Or 45-47. They are all clues to let you know everything is done! Completed ✔️! Fine’. I promise. We have switched from off the Fed already. It’s the news guys. They lie to you. Shut it down! Forever! They use the media to spread their lies. That’s how we were captured when we were born! Born into this Matrix that the deep state has put us in. We are getting out!! OUT!! This is not our Home.
Okey dokey, but FYI, I shut down from the lamestream media a long time before Sarah Palin gave it that nickname even. They are not influencing me.
Awesome!!! It doesn’t take long to see how indoctrinated we were.
Agreed. This isn’t 7D chess, it’s too major egos being stepped on
Dan—“Horn dog” took me back to the day. 😂
I'd be lying to say that men aren't, by their fundamental nature, "horn dogs". If we weren't, we'd never find time to engage in creating more humans. (hmmm, lets see, I can play golf with the boys or have sex... well, the sex can wait, I need to birdie at least 5 holes today!!)
The problem is that in today's world, women have been indoctrinated to believe that sex is the end all of everything - they can even murder their own babies in the womb. And because of that, they have taken to giving up their most precious bodies for short term self gratification instead of understanding they can have everything, if they would only wait until marriage and develop a strong emotional bond with a good man (instead of one that simply wants to get in their panties...) but sadly, that perfect paradigm has been completely unraveled by evil in today's culture.
I hope so! I’m particularly sad about this since I loved the joy on Elon’s face when he was with Trump. He seemed to look at Trump as a father figure. Elon lost a lot while helping this country pull back from the brink of disaster. I’m not sure Trump could have done it without him. I’ll continue to pray for Elon and for their relationship.
Ditto.I feel like an adult kid whose much loved parents are fighting and threatening divorce. I will be sad until they kiss and make up.
It's all KayFabe.
Agree, Dave. That was my immediate response. I do love Jeff’s analysis that it doesn’t really matter.
Well…they are both WWF fans…and look who’s running the DOE!
Exactly.
I don’t believe Musk is any WWF fan. He just got to go out with the boys and look like a regular guy, while he was on the Trump team.
I wouldn’t look to see him in social spaces on his own.
Ah, I should have gotten up earlier today...you beat me to it! Kayfabe to the MAX!
If Musk migrates to and aligns with the Democrats, than Musk is Deep State. His wealth was built on Government contracts and the support of the CCP (Tesla). Hopefully, Trump and Musk make up. Trump doesn’t need a War with Musk. He’s got enough Wars to solve.
I agree with you time will tell if Musk is deepstate
Fox said they were having a phone call today to talk.
Now Trump says he is not talking to him. The bromance spat continues!
LOLOL!! Yes!
I ignored it…whatever it is (real or staged), God will use it for good.
Hahaha.
They’re supposed to be ‘making up’ today.
Whew! Thanks Jeff for your take on the titan conflict. It was a train wreck I couldn’t bear to watch yesterday and felt quite sick about it. I read a few really dismal stories and then stopped. Thanks for putting a positive spin on this. I certainly hope all is not lost as many were fond of saying. And thank you for pointing out the other positive things that went unnoticed in all the smoke.
LOLOLOL.
Maybe the one day reprieve from Pride Month on Juneteenth will be the day they finally sync their ovulation?!
Now THAT would be something!
lol!!!
Besties again? Never gonna happen.
Already has. They’ve made up
I stand corrected…less than a week. Reminds me of my teenage daughters 🤣
Guys do this. My sons would complain about a problem with a friend. I would get all ‘spun up’ about it, then, while I am still steamed, they and their friend are chillin’. Now my granddaughters otoh…😳
I think the best we can hope for is functional teammates.
Now that was funny!🤣🤣🤣
Rolling in the floor laughing!!
"All the world’s a stage,
And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts"
~ William Shakespeare
All the world's indeed a stage
We are merely players
Performers and portrayers
Each another's audience outside the gilded cage
Lyrics - Alan Parsons
Screeched by Geddy Lee
I only ever “hear” all the worlds indeed a stage (and then we are merely players) in Geddy’s insanely high (but mighty) screech. Limelight is one of my favs.
Rock on Rush!!
Best thing to ever come out of Canada! 😉
First concert I ever went to was Rush. I was hooked.
This says Neil Peart? https://www.rush.com/songs/limelight/
Love Rush, BTW, RIP Neil!
You're right. Alan Parsons Project had their own Limelight.
Roman!! That quote hit my brain like a thunderbolt this morning when I woke up. No truer words spoken 💯
Nice! Not everyone wants to hear the thunder of reality. Good on you Verve!
If all the world's a stage, who's the audience?
God
I was thinking that when I wrote the question. Does that mean that asteroids are like the jujifruits and other cinemuck found on the floors?
Performing for each other
Shakespeare? Don't you mean, Edward de Vere, the 17th Earl of Oxford?
Interesting take on the name “Shake-spear” by Graham Hancock: https://grahamhancock.com/phorum/read.php?7,927530,927684
Wonder if we'll ever know for sure who wrote all that great literature?
The bard is indeed timeless .
Of course we can trust those A/i teachers to teach the children well or maybe indoctrinate them better than the humans ever could?
..."Why so many people are having strokes in their 20s, 30s and 40s: ‘We’ve never had patients so young’.”...this has hit home for the first time. One of my wife's grandchildren was in the prison system (MI) for a few years during covid. Of course she had to get the mRNA injections. How many? At least the first two.
At age 26, female, she has had two stroke episodes this week and is in the hospital for further testing. The doctors are saying it's a neuropathy problem or maybe a spinal fluid infection. This is too young of an age to be having a stroke. But you gotta know the elephant in the room will be ignored as the experts doctors remain expertly baffled.
Homeschool kids get their work done in a few hours too. It’s called doing actual school curriculum without all the crap garbage stuff thrown in there. Much like colleges requiring dance and bowling to get a computer science degree 🙄. Tailor education specifically for what is to be learned and let the rest go - then you have time for other stuff and graduate early as actual student who learned real educational material. Not hard if you stop letting teachers unions and politicians dictate everything.
AI - nope 👎🏻
Not every kid learns the same. Some can do online learning well and thrive and some just can’t and need a human to ask questions and problem solve.
As for the teachers - weed them out! Keep the good ones and fire the bad ones.
My son finished his first year of teaching last week. He turned out to be one of the phenomenal people ones (we never had him pegged as a teacher and we ate those words!) who the kids really loved! He is a student favorite because he treats them with respect, listens, requires respect and requires integrity. He has high school kids coming to him to talk about real life issues, the ones without friends come to his room during lunch where he welcomes them even though it means he doesn’t have time to eat, he goes above and beyond to any of them struggling and needing extra help and for a while he tutored them in different subjects than what he is a teacher for because their other teachers were not teaching them or helping them. He never bad mouthed said teachers either. And to ones who came to complain about other teachers he said he is not the person to come do that to and he won’t be their complaint box. He is creative in his teaching styles and makes it fun for them. I could go on and on. Biased? Maybe. Or maybe he’s just the kind of teacher I would want teaching my kids. Not AI.
Can’t like this enough. I am very suspicious of AI teaching kids. I’m a fan of homeschooling (though I know it’s not a via option for some folks). I love that your son has become one of the great teachers. May his tribe increase!
Thank you. I agree. ❤️ We are very proud of him.
Love this, so encouraging to hear about your son! Those are definitely the kinds of teachers we need more of!
Ah Sunny—would that we could clone your son for every classroom in this country of ours. God bless him and his parents! His empathy, integrity, and genuine care for the students cannot be taught. You planted those seeds from the start. Standing O! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Wow. Thank you 😊. Very kind of you to say.
I actually think AI teaching when done honestly will drastically improve the learning opportunities available for the three types of preferred learning that don't fit the mainstream model. Will be far easier to have an AI determine which style is effective for each student and favor or isolate to that method.
Many, many kids get into trouble because the system sorts them into the "dumb" or problem groups only because they don't learn the standard way.
BTW, have you ever watched a teacher try to create engaging lessons for a new curriculum or style of teaching? AI has the ability to help the good ones create them in hours or days instead of months.
As usual, find the experts that can use the tool to create the customized implementations that meet your requirements. The only issue with AI will be finding a school you should trust.
AI instruction that parents can supervise versus pink-haired socialist teacher? Hmm.
No AI in schools. Very bad idea. I am so sorry to hear about your wife's grandchild who has had 2 strokes at 26. This is evil incarnate by these damn jabs and their satantic makers. WE NEED to tell the docs its the jabs until they listen. Beat it into their eardrums. We have to fight for what we know the cause is and make these coward docs listen. I truly hope she heals and please beg her never to take another jab of any kind ever.
Education is competing with the corporate publishers that already dumb down teachers and kids.
Certainly, I consider it to be on the table as possible reasons.
Here is my question: for those getting strokes at a young age, is the "omission" of their vaccination status intentional, or do they simply not see a possible connection?
If you listen to any doctor-patient interview about new symptoms. The first question they ask is usually what medications they are on, and any changes in diet. So to ask that and to deny that an injected substance could have anything to do with it is absurd.
They are all part of the Industrial Medical Complex and some are part of the globalist agenda of depop. Most so called docs today are not docs, they are drug pushers and degenerates. And they no nothing about nutrition. They support Big Harma and get kickbacks.
I do think that very much like school in general, there is the illusion of consensus that acts like guardrails for the medical community. No one questions much of anything, definitely not virology and vaccinology. These are pillars of The Science™. Anyone who colors outside the lines is vilified and discredited and de-labcoated (defrocked).
Many wouldn't know it, but there have been outliers to a lot of things we take for granted. Some of them indeed are ridiculous, like flat-earthers. Just this past week on X, someone made the false equivalency argument of comparing peanut butter allergies to vaccines and claiming that those refusing vaccines would be tantamount to (my hyperbole here) hugging someone with peanut allergies after eating a peanut butter sandwich.
And I thought to myself, ironically, what if vaccines cause food allergies. And there are theories that this is something that could be true. I would like to know if there is a statistical correlation between vaccine status and food allergies.

Although you can subscribe for free, unfortunately you can’t see all FULL articles unless you are a paid subscriber.
very true but many of these docs had their licenses revoked and board certifications taken away and need to find other ways to support themselves. I find AMD's offerings are wonderful. Curederm for example. Never heard of it. Used for skin cancer. My dermatologists never told me about it. I am using it now, all natural and it is truly a wonder. I am telling everyone about it and learned about it from AMD.
AMD is wonderful and well worth the subscription. He/she has been quoted numerous times by well known doctors we all like here on C&C.
Indeed. That is why I subscribe!
Yes, I love AMD! I'm as eager to read those as I am to read C&C!
I do think that is quite possible as we know jabs cause autism. Much research has proven this already. Shedding from the covid jab is real too. Best to ditch all jabs. Read the books Vax Facts and Turtles All the Way Down. You will never believe the indocrination we have been subjected to around jabs ever again.
Totally agree Lori. Also a good one to read is Dissolving Illusions by Suzanne Humphries, MD and Roman Bystrianyk. Another good source of information is to go to The National Vaccine Information Center website.
Wonderful book and it all makes good sense!
I've heard "turtles all the way down" mentioned. I subscribe to "Lies are Unbekoming" on Substack and they have talked about that book, and there are many others. I downloaded a couple of books and papers from the 1800's that were against the virus/vaccine narrative from it was first conceived. To hear about the smallpox vaccine/inoculation alone is a big eye-opener.
read TATWD-best 500 pages I invested time into reading. Polio jab is a joke too.
Studies have shown vaccines increase food allergies. Here is just one Midwestern Doctor stack from April with a few stats for ya: https://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/how-much-damage-have-vaccines-done

Excellent article!
Big HARMA!!!!!
Changes to diet? What does a Dr know about diet? 🙄
exactly RJ.
I’ve fired 6 doctors over the past 4 years because when they recommend Statins or shots I figure they don’t bother to do research. I give them the lecture on how bad these medical poisons are and walk out. Hopefully I’ve left them with something to think about.
Good for you, someone with balls (excuse the language). Way past time. I hope you leave a forever impression for them to perform due diligence and don't follow like lemmings bc the AMA/CDC/NIH/FDA says it is only one way. Praying more will come forward like you to speak about what is happening in the Medical Industrial Complex.
Too many people are afraid of the cancel culture. I have stopped holding my tongue. I can’t remember who said it, but smolder woman chided the “hurt feelings” group by saying there are NO safe spaces. Hurt Feelings are a consequence of living
I agree 100%. I could care less about cancel culture. I am not intimidated and am no snowflake. When the shit hits the fan, I will survive, the cancel culture numbnuts will not.
There is room for those with "Big Balls" in every facet of life.
LOL, so true Debra!
Sorry to hear about your granddaughter.
If people want fully supervised, well-educated, self-reliant, inquisitive kids, homeschool. It takes only a couple hours a day and you can spend the rest of the day having fun.
That school is INCREDIBLY EXPENSIVE. I looked into it not knowing it was AI driven. shocked by the AI piece and the cost.
My daughter, at age 31 and in perfect health, suffered a stroke in 2018 prior to the COVID shots. Of course the doctors were baffled as to the cause. I’ve always wondered if the Gardasil vaccine, which she received, had something to do with it.

"Spare a moment of sympathy for your author."
Done! Every day! Thank you!!!!!
Good morning! It’s a brand new day The Lord is giving us all to triumph in His name!
Joshua 1:9
Amen.
I'm surprised the Gray Harlot didn't characterize Elon as an African-American, and then call Donald a racist.
These so called journalists are having to work now. Imagine having no control over the narrative anymore. It changes at Trump warp speed. 😄
For the moment I love it!
They're saving that for tomorrow's articles.
Elon is an African-American.
Give it time.
My husband has speculated that Elon might be on medication for depression which could be causing these outbursts. Many medications will have an impact on mood/personality. Elon has done many good things and I hate to see people turning on him so quickly. He has been under tremendous stress with death threats, cars being destroyed amongst other pressures.
A part of me wondered if that might have been part of the reason that Trump went silent last night. Maybe he ordered a wellness check on Elon. It’s a possibility. For all of his bluster, Trump has a really big heart and may have been really concerned for his friend.
I hope so. I also wonder if Don Jr and/or others convinced him to tone things down.
I sure wish they both had someone who filtered their tweets or would take their phones away when tempted to make ugly posts like that. It just seemed to have gone a bit overboard even if it was supposed to be staged. If they can’t use some self-control as world leaders, could they please hire a “mommy” to hold their iPhone.
Mnmmom,
I noticed earlier that Elon hasn’t posted. Maybe someone is helping him. I hope so, because I think he will look back on this episode one day and feel badly about his posts. We all make mistakes and have regrets.
Agree! What about ‘write but don’t send’ don’t those two understand?
That’s certainly possible and I had not thought of it. I will pray - above all, he needs Jesus!
Trump does have a big heart
I agree with you. This has been a long, arduous ordeal and most people would not be able to sustain the level of crazy he's endured. I hope he will now have that chance to go back to what he truly enjoys and one day look back and be able to reflect on all of the good he tried (and accomplished) for the nation. For now, like Jeff said, I hope Musk will be able to refocus on his real love: Mars (though I really wish he would focus on the depths of the earth for more fun stuff that actually lives).
Agreed. Something had to crack eventually in this pressure cooker situation- who else could survive this? But I remember that he and his gf Canadian musician "Grimes", mother of their son X - when they hosted SNL together- they both had a literal mental breakdown after the experience- she worse than he. Being on the spectrum like he is, is no joke. They don't process stress the same way, even positive stressors. Whether it's a calculated fight or not, I'm just having so much mental fatigue!
Elon is "on the spectrum" as they say. My 39 year old son is also similar, and he can react to things in a very overblown way like Musk has done. It blows over, but he often has trouble controlling his stronger than necessary reactions when something emotional is involved. I would also add that Elon is undoubtedly under enormous stress (much of it self imposed). I've seen that my son gets more volatile in his reactions when under stress.
Elon has been known to take Ketamine in the past. That could explain a lot.
Yes, seen stuff on X hurling accusations about all kinds of drug use. Who knows!? Other than both men operate on a different plane that most of us average Joes - I sometimes feel overwhelmed just trying to run my small biz, take care of my mom and maintain my household affairs, including all the weeds popping up in my gardens after a week of rain - can't imagine the stress of running literal empires that these 2 guys manage on a daily basis. I guess being an average Joe (Jane, lol) isn't all bad....
Donna in MO, lately I’ve been thinking about how all these ultra rich people never have to do mundane task like grocery shopping, cooking, laundry, weeding the garden etc which leaves so much time to concentrate on their jobs and fun activities. I’m content but boy wouldn’t it be nice 😊
True, but then you have to supervise all these people who do all your chores for you. Kind of like when the kids were home and we'd give them chores to do and all the bitching, moaning and correcting them for the poor job they did the first time was a job in and of itself, LOL.
People were posting about Elon being on the autism spectrum and how he tends to have outbursts every so often (e.g., about 6 mo ago RE h1b visas).
I've read that he has Aspergers Syndrome and it's responsible for much of his unusual behaviors. I'd say, overall he's doing really well and we all just need to adapt to his behavior or ignore it.
Elon does not look well, I wondered if it was that diet/shots in tummy stuff? He needs a good BLT with a cup of coffee and a baked potato! 🤠
Alex Berenson posted a similar take (although his was more about illegal drugs not medication, not that prescription drugs can’t be dangerous too).
Elon did say in an interview during the height of the Tesla massacres that he was really struggling with why people were doing it and why he had so, so many death threats. I also believe he's either self-medicating or on a powerful anti-depressant.
And what is Trump on?
Trump is high on America.
We are so back!
lol
🥰👏 I just wish he would hand his phone to Vance and say “JD, does this sound ok? What do ya think?”
I’m truly fatigued and simultaneously sick of the government. I am throwing my hands up in disgust. Things need to get done.
The only savior we can have hope in is Jesus.
Yep other than my daily dose of C&C I have more or less checked out lately, aside from local issues. Call me when something real actually happens.
There is some good news on my local front - a big name D who had his eye on the County Exec spot next year just imploded, arrested on domestic battery charges. Granted there is a pack of jackals circling to take his spot but still nice to see justice served once in a while.
I've pretty much checked out, as well. However, something doesn't smell right in the Manny situation. The body language of the wife in the "missing + concern" statement did not ring true. (Don't put anything past Frank White!).
Well yes the inside scoop is the D party is pissed at him for cooperating with Sean Smith (one of the 2 R's on the legislature, although Jeanie is worthless and will be primaried if she runs next year) to try and derail Frank White. Manny has a day job working in some kind of consultant role for unions and they helped finance the Recall Frank White effort. So no doubt this is payback. Although I have also heard he has anger issues and so do not doubt he assaulted his wife. Too often such guys get by with bad behavior due to their insider status.
Although the Shawnee location of the alleged incident is curious. They are supposed to live in their districts and wonder if she had not tossed him out and he was living with his dad in Shawnee? And I am confused about the 'custody' issue as if they are still married at this point, not sure how she can be 'awarded custody' if there has not been a formal divorce yet. No fan of Manny, think he is a climber and an opportunist - he did next to nothing when the property tax debacle hit other than host a couple of town halls, whereas Sean worked his butt off helping people with appeals, the senior tax credit,. etc.
Thanks for the info. I wondered about the Shawnee address, as well. Plenty of dirty politics in KCMO. I appreciate and support Sean... He's about the only conservative we have in Jackson County. BTW, I received my property tax assessment in the mail yesterday. It delivered what was promised. For me, it will be a small tax reduction, but every dollar counts. Thanks again!
Omygosh, Kansas City politics? I thought you were discussing the plot of a popular soap opera! LOL
Well my friend Susan Culpepper is going to announce a run in the county legislature in the 5th district for 2026 soon, she is a real conservative. Many years on the Blue Springs CC. Not sure what Sean is going to do yet, he is up in 2026 too. I knocked a ton of doors for him against Cleaver last year but it was a horrid loss, can't beat Freedom Inc. Our assessment notice came today and our value went down!? Go figure. Not going to complain, like you said, every dollar counts! Our tax bill went up by $1200 in 23.
I wish Ms Culpepper luck. We need good conservative voices. I supported $ Sean, and would again. Cleaver is worthless.
There are a lot of dog walkers in my HOA. I spend hours talking with fellow female seniors. It is amazing how many still believe everything they hear on the local news.😵💫 If I can open one person's eyes, it is worth the effort.
And yes, keep talking!!! Although my 86 YO mom is the same, lifelong D who can't see that the party left her and watches CNN. Did get her to vote for Teresa Galvin, but refused to vote for Sean. She is in assisted living and doesn't drive so pays $0 property tax so didn't appreciate all his work helping seniors.
I don't get it - my team and I covered probably 2/3rds of Raytown at the doors - and it was overwhelmingly positive - a few said they were registering to vote for the first time. Only a handful of unhinged lefties, although only 1 in 4 or 5 actually open their doors when you knock. Also covered parts of Indep, Blue Springs and LS. Sean couldn't get the big donors to pony up as Cook Political Report had handicapped the race at -11 points, and evidently the big $ reads that. I thought, he'll get close and then run again in '26 and get the $$. NOPE. Also knocked a bunch of doors for Teresa Galvin in '22 - Waldo, Brookside, in addition to eastern Jack. Waldo and Brookside a waste of time - people asking if she was MAGA and her stance on abortion - even though those issues have nothing to do with Jackson County. Same results - Frank White walked away with it. She's pretty much pivoted to spending a lot of time in FL with her grandkids. I will think long and hard before I spend a lot of time supporting a county wide race next year. Patterson is my rep and he terms out as does Keri Ingle so will probably focus on state races next year. Ingle is already raising money to run for Cierpiot's SD 8 seat as he terms out too, so D's will be bringing their A game. She is odious but popular, unfortunately. LS is turning purple. And abortion will be on the ballot again as HJR 73 passed, and that will motivate D turnout, sadly.
I'm in SD 7 Patti Lewis.
My Rep (D36) is Anthony Ealy. He was not my choice. But, for a D, he's not bad. He is friendly, always shows up outside my polling place and sends out an excellent weekly email.
It's tough being a conservative in a blue district... But, not as vicious as when I lived in CA, NM and VA!
Same. But lately I don’t even always read C&C. Often the “news” just isn’t interesting enough or I’m bored after the very interesting last 2 yrs.
You can thank those who manipulated down ballot races to erase any substantial increase in winning the house and senate. That's one way to slow things down. Plus there are a lot of money-grubbing elected leaders who despise the ability of Trump to turn off war-based donations. I'm guessing the USAID tap ran very deep to water a LOT of organized conflicts both domestically and abroad.
💯 The political whiplash has caused me to make another appointment with my chiropractor.
I’m not a Dr., however I believe I could prescribe a cure for your illness. It’s only slightly painful if you don’t overexpose yourself to the procedure. It involves looking at our new Canadian government ( I suggest maybe covering one eye) for maybe 10-15 minutes. This should bring relief to your malady.
My condolences, George.
😭
I feel you, Dr Linda!
Now comes the hardest part of all: PATIENCE Rome wasn't re-built in a day. ;-)
My wife noted to me homeschoolers have had one in one adaptive education tailored to a student with the rest of the day to such activities for some time now. It works well and is efficient and students thrive.
We homeschooled our children for 8 years. Their school day began at 9am and ended at noon. The rest of the day they were outside being feral. We used P.A.C.E. out of Florida.
My oldest, nine, “hit the books!” First thing this morning and was done with his book work in less than half an hour.
Second child, six, took a zoom call from his grandmother and spent half an hour with her working on learning to read.
Third, also six, took the day off so far, and has been wandering around singing selections from Oklahoma at the top of his lungs.
The three of them, with their younger sister, spent a couple hours before lunch building a “beaver dam” out of mud and sticks in the backyard.
They are now back in for lunch but will almost certainly be back outside for quite a while this afternoon.
Public school is so prison like; it’s no wonder there’s a pipeline.
Excellent!
LOL! I love it!
Teach a kid to educate themselves, and they will learn for life.
The problem with much of school is they don't teach you how to fish. Sure, you were taught to do a research paper, at least I was back in the eighties, but it didn't inspire me to want to go out and independently research and do things. In fact, the whole ordeal felt very artificial.
I was given a list of topics from which to pick, but wished I had gotten to choose. Imagine a kid given a choice what to write about...what to research, what to seek out. School tends to stifle that inclination.
"Teach a kid to educate themselves, and they will learn for life."
Bam! Hit the nail on the head. As one who "homeschooled" both my boys all the way through high school, I can say that is exactly right. Except for the early phonic skills and the basic math skills, my boys were completely self-taught using the curriculum I supplied which took them all the way through calculus and college level physics by the time they finished 12th grade.
I always told my boys that I didn't care what career path they took, janitor or physicist, but they were going to have the skills to do ANYTHING they wanted.
That's amazing, and it's a great approach to take with your kids.
The goal of most homeschoolers I know is to get the kids to love to learn. I’ve heard so many amazing stories of homeschool kids doing fantastic things
Whereas in public school, it almost felt like...such excitement was deflated in regards to learning.
I loved school—the social aspect kept me engaged. The classes were 🥱
What is that emoji supposed to be, I'm suspicious because it is not a "poop" emoji.
Yawn, indicating boring.
One of the greatest gifts my teacher parents gave/imparted to me was to learn to be a self-learner. And then be one. I spent time regularly in libraries, beginning with parttime jobs, until Google came along. Now, it's my lifeline to knowledge since I'm retired and don't get out much. You just have to know how to word search and what sources are credible. The more you practice, the better you get at it.
Have you noticed any change in the Google results as of late? My theory is that Google is giving bad results to highlight the reliance on the "AI overview," which puts an intermediary between us and deciding what sources are credible.
Yes, when I am looking up news or science/medical stuff, you definitely have to look at page 2, 3, 4 of the search results, because the usual corporate media darlings are listed first.
Excellent observation. "Alpha School" sounded very much like Home Schooling programs I have read about. Perhaps AI education tools will be the next resource available to home scholling parents. I would be interested in knowing if available alternative K-12 sylibi such as the Ron Paul Institute's or Hillsdale College's provide equivalent or better outcomes than Alpha School's. Lastly, intimate knowledge of the large language model used for the Alpha School's AI sylibus is critical to insuring the curriculum reflects a "world view" acceptable to parents.
The Reckoning can't come soon enough for me. Just this week, an 18 year old young man told my husband he is scheduled for a stress test due to continuing heart problems which began right after his covid injection about 2 years ago. He was mandated to take the shot in order to play basketball.
Disgusting!
So awful. Poor guy 😞 I want to see the Reckoning too!
Jeff, I loved your interview on Code Red talk!!!!
I'm totally freaking out but waiting the signal from...God. 😶 having been with the Counselor, small c 😁, since very early 20, it was really hard to listen to how so many churches were deceived. What a threshing!!
Me too. Fascinating and wonderful to get to know Jeff better.
Me too!!!

I suspect that the Trump-Musk 'divorce' is scripted theater for popular consumption. This is playing out much like the public display of disaffection when Zelenskyy visited the White House. The added layer is watching the DNC braintrust flirting with inviting Elon back into the DNC camp and the Faux News crowd doing the play-by-play. Elon is the consummate politician.
Neither Shakespeare nor Orwell could have scripted this farce any better.
Er, not Shakespeare. But rather, Edward de Vere, the 17th Earl of Oxford.
As a veteran homeschooler, (34 years, 11 children all now college graduates) the “new” way of education with AI is the way we’ve been doing it for years! A few hours of core academics then lots of time to explore other interests!
WOW... 11 children! Respect!!!
As one who also "homeschooled" my boys all the way through high school, I can attest the same. The AI school model is going to absolutely BREAK the institutional, one-size-fits all school model that teaches to the lowest common denominator. State (public) education is Dead-Man-Walking.
That ‘lowest common denominator’ always angered me. My kids were often bored or helping others learn because they grasped concepts quickly but had to stay with the group. I wonder what they could have accomplished from an AI curriculum focused on their learning. 😳😖
You remind me of a very good movie called "Stand and Deliver" that was a motivator for me for home schooling. In the movie the protagonist tells the school administration, "The children will rise to the level of your expectations." The implication was that the school was preventing the students from excelling because their expectations for the students was too low. Happens ALL the time.
Reading your daily post is like going to a chiropractor. I arrive out of sorts and leave adjusted and FULL OF HOPE. Thank you.
Randi Weingarten is rumored to be trying to unionize AI instructors.
Randi hates children.

Hahaha.
