Trump launches unprecedented global trade war; media nitpicks tariffs while NYT frets over fit conservative women; shocking new RussiaGate leaks hint at what’s coming next; more.
There's only one phone number I need to remember; my wife's. That gives me access to all other numbers (and names, dates, my social security number, etc).
lol....I was just about to write "and ladies like Pam Bondi, Nikki Haley, and Tulsi Gabbard"...remove Haley and add Leavitt, Harmeet,, or Alina and this was a home run article!!
“Therefore do not fear them, for there is nothing concealed that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known. What I tell you in the darkness, speak in the light; and what you hear whispered in your ear, proclaim upon the housetops. Do not fear those who kill the body but are unable to kill the soul; but rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. Are not two sparrows sold for a cent? And yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So do not fear; you are more valuable than many sparrows.”
Let us pray solemnly and fervently for our President Trump - and his GREAT team, he is taking on the entire corrupt world for us, the American people, who have been savaged economically and politically for decades by that corrupt, evil world. I pray that God protect him and his team, and that God continues to use him as an instrument of His Perfect Will in destroying the abundant evil everywhere. Please let Trump Always Win to do Your Will.
re: "It’s every man for himself now." Let those treasonous bastards rot in prison and then burn in hell for eternity. The truth will be known.
To me it is beyond the sublime that the liberals thought it perfectly rational and lawful to bring corrupt, absolutely unlawful, lawfare against former President Trump, many people around him, J6'ers, etc after 2020 but now think it is criminal for President Trump and his team to prosecute these vermin, and put them in prison, for real treason and actual criminal behavior.
I don't need a permission structure, I'm way beyond ready to act as the hangman for these vermin.
I understand your thought Vicki, but wouldn’t it be even better if they got life sentences first, before going to hell to burn in eternity - I mean I think they have earned and deserve the full treatment for what they have done.
My concern with anything but execution....is permission given to others to try this again at some point knowing they wont receive the ultimate sentence....AND the possibility of some future President pardoning them.
I don’t know God’s plan, I am way too ignorant to understand that and what mercy he may or may not bring on them. So I guess I just want whatever remaining time they have on this earth to be spent in a prison cell, thinking about all of it - but I do understand your not wanting even a small possibility for another Resident Autopen Cabbage or Ovomit letting them off the hook.
I don’t know, I just want them to have a decade or two to think about their sins before they go next to hell. I s’pose we are getting ahead of ourselves, we first need convictions.
Jeff’s blog today & then this scripture reminded me that back during Covid & even prior to that my prayer was - Lord Jesus may the truth come out. Please bring the evil into the light. I’m in awe because I feel the Lord is answering my prayer in huge ways. Thank you Jesus.
I too have been praying since Trump’s 1st administration that all those deeds done in darkness be brought into the light and that all those who have laid out traps be caught in their own snares. God is good and His mercy endures forever! Thank you Father for answering my prayers. Your Will be done!
Yes, and Amen. To Jessica I say this: find out about Jesus. When you know Him and trust Him, all of a sudden you'll know exactly how to live your life.
There are two different terms in Hebrew that are translated as "curse" as used in the phrase those that blesse you i will bless those that curse you i will curse. One of them may be better translated as they will be exposed to God's light. See https://lisaslamp.com/post-script-on-blessings-and-curses for more.
This. I am in awe, and filled with gratitude for answered prayer for our nation and leaders and society. The LORD is mighty and completely trustworthy. We must remember His goodness, and continue to intercede.

Just think, if American Eagle had chosen say…Rosie O’Donnell as their Amazonian Spokeswalrus, how America could have averted the nervous breakdowns of thousands of disgruntled useless sewer level gag merchants and other such unstable mealymouthed lowlifes. However…..was it worth it to witness the ensuing apocalyptic emotional collapse over an attractive white woman in a pair of jeans? Yeah. Four years of compulsory hell has turned me a bit sadistic.
Incidentally, what a joy to see Scott Adams completely flip his own script. Enlightenment at the speed of science.
I bought two pair of American Eagle boot cut jeans yesterday, will get them around 7 Aug! My small contribution to their continued success and ultra magnificent ads! I also sent them an email thanking them for Sydney.
Eric it was bad enough that I had to look at the calvin klein ad yesterday featuring the two abominable deviants but now you make me conjure a view of the "spokeswalrus" - thanks for nothing! However, that name MUST stick!
And yes, it was completely worth it to see the collapse of their carefully created disgusting narrative that fat ugly old men with man-titties can be "women" and we have to also accept fat, ugly, tattooed, blue/green/purple haired and face metaled delusional baby murdering cretins as women.
SO fed up with seeing freakish people forced on us as if they’re mainstream.
They aren’t.
Fine if individuals want to present themselves in weird ways - but we’re right to object to the psyop trying to persuade us that freakish is mainstream or majority. It ain’t!
I agree with your assertion about being fed up. I am too.
What I would take issue with, if anything, is that it is "fine" to present themselves in weird ways. My position is that if God wanted them to be "fat, ugly, tattooed, blue/green/purple haired and face metaled delusional baby murdering cretins" He would have created them that way. This is the result of incarnate evil on which we mustn't look the other way.

These are my first pairs of them. I wasn't even aware of American Eagle jeans until this ad. Can't wait to get them... and with the 30% off, a really great value too!
The Progressive Leftist worldview IS NOT bereft of vision or values, IT IS a CULT that emotionally and psychologically awaits orders and affirmations. Whenever Self-Destruction and DEATH is offered the group and most often even to the individual they dutifully move toward it. "Liberalism is a mental disorder" (Michael Savage) is not quite a strong enough critique. Thin-shaming a white woman over her jeans because of genes is a level of hubris only the Cultists could express, as they do on most every single issue that they turn their attention to.
100% disorder. That is not one of God's traits. Praise Him, even the languid left is starting to feel it.
Jeff rang this bell rather clearly today: "This is what the Lord says: 'Stand at the crossroads and look. Ask for the ancient paths. Ask where the good way is and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls’” (Jeremiah 6:16).
Everyone who thinks lean and mean close-knit families and communities are only a conservative Christian-American delusion should travel the world and see for themselves. “For this people’s heart has become calloused. They hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise, they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts and turn, and I would heal them” (Matthew 13:15). It's time to be sick and tired of being sick and tired.
I've been binge watching this fantastic late 70s (76 to 79) series on Tubi - starring James Arness (who also played Matt Dillon in Gunsmoke) - "How the West Was Won"! It should be seen by every American family who loves traditional, Godly values. Arness - as Zebulon "Zeb" Macahan and the rest of the cast are superb.
I will have to look it up. I vaguely remember their being that show but in that time period I was graduating college, becoming a teacher, getting married and having my first child, so for some reason it escaped me. The original movie version of “How the West was Won” came out in the early 60’s. I was a kid then but my parents and their friends went to see it. My dad loved westerns. It was called a blockbuster because it had virtually every big Hollywood name of the time in it, was 3 hours long and spanned over a 100 years of American history. I always thought they did a very credible job of showing a family going down the Ohio river on flatboats seeking new lands in the northern territories.
My friends and I talked about this the other day. Yes, we’re old, but of a generation that women were thin! There were a few buxom women, but when a woman got married and was getting that white gown, she wanted to look like a princess in it. She lost the weight if that was the only time she was thin. This was perhaps societal pressure, but now the trend is completely reversed. Thin brides are the abnormal and I am tired of seeing some young woman Saran wrapped into a wedding dress that shows every bulge and double chin and call it lovely. On a side note, the grooms are no longer the face of handsome masculinity and fitness either, too often looking like they have been too long at the all you can eat buffet before game night with their friends.
The good news is it is turning around, our counter revolution is working. I think it is because we all seek to do God's Will instead of evil's. We must keep the "pedal firmly planted to the floorboard". Remember, evil's obsession, and primary goal is to destroy humanity.
the photos of beach scenes from the 70s and today tell the whole story - but surprising that there was not more on the health of trim v. heavy - its significant
I hate the way the left wing media tries to say “people of color” are naturally NOT thin. Look at photos of African Americans in the 60’s and 70’s and they were slim. It’s our processed foods and cultural malaise
Was LBJ in 1966. I received the top award in 4th, 5th and 6 grade. Can still recall getting a 're-do' (one permitted)from forever revered Mr Behning in the 50 yard dash one of many tough events.
One had to get in under 6 seconds from a standing start. Pretty much the whole school(south Minneapolis) was on the playground that morning; it was a very big deal! On try 2, clocked a 5.55. Whew! Wearing Jack Purcells canvas shoes and slipping on the gravel.1st attempt was a 6.1.
Quicker boys than me missed out if they could not throw a softball over 200 feet. Was so proud of the patches and Mom sewed them on my then hockey team jacket! People of all ages would stop me on the street to hear my story.
SoMplsboy, this was just wonderful - really made me smile! What a fantastic memory to have and what good times. These are the small treasures that make life extra special. Thanks so much for sharing!
That blasted softball throw kept me off every year! But I could do the arm hang for ages and ages - I should've gotten points from that which could go towards the softball throw.
Yes JFK. I was in HS in the esrly 60s. We had to do fitness tests. I couldn't do pull ups but killed it with with sit ups. Did 150. More than anyone in my class at the time.
ahhhh 60 years ago ... i had the highest Fitness score in a school of 1500 ( ok, half were girls haha) . Running i was so so , push ups and pull ups were my thing . I still do push ups . Pull ups... nope. I have a bar, but afraid if i go off the ground my body might come down but my arms might still be hanging there, attached to the bar .
I see it from two angles as a grandma of 10 to 14 year olds. There are the parents who were decent athletes in high school, perhaps even small college athletes. They are quite often the ones that don’t push their kids to do anything athletic. They have a cornucopia of different activities to choose from and the kid will hop from one to another and eventually succumb to electronics in some form. Then there are the parents who think their 10year old is going to be the next Aaron Judge and he plays travel baseball at 9 years old, Mom and Dad toting him all over the state every weekend and to nearby states for tournaments. The kid likes it for now because they get cool rings and trophies when they win, and he’s playing with friends. Wait a few years…the truth is if you want to pony up the money your kid can play on a travel anything team. I heard from a 40 something Dad how his 11 year old was playing travel ball. The dad was saying there were parents of kids on the teams looking at tommy john’s surgery for healthy arms so a 12 year old could throw a 90 mile an hour fastball. So there is the other end of the spectrum.
I see the problem more as we don’t allow our kids just to go out and play. There are no “pick up” games of baseball, touch football, soccer any longer. Everything has to be organized and safe.
I live on an amazing street where all of the kids in the nearby houses get together and play kickball or ghost in the graveyard or whatever in the common areas and around all of our houses. My son is out there with them all the time! I’m so grateful for that!
There was a small park and basketball court across from our house. And every weekend i was at the school playing touch football ,
I was also on the Little League All Star team for my town . Starting pitcher. First batter up from opposing team hit a high fly ball ,,,,,over the fence ! ....... Well, somehow i haven't forgotten that LOL
How about the way most of the attendees dress like they are going to Hooters for wings and beers? Same with funerals. I still wear coat and tie to both, and often am the only one
I'm a little ashamed to admit this, but my daughter and I really like watching "Say Yes To the Dress" sometimes just to guffaw at some of the brides stuffing themselves into inappropriate gowns.
I love Jeff's writing, but I don't strive to copy him nor am I absorbing his style. My extended stay on this goofy blue marble has made me my own. I've been with Jeff since the outset of this Covid nonsense and I've witnessed the growth of his Substack from about 10 to 189,000. I've also seen the audience shift a bit to include more delicate sensibilities.....to put it mildly, plus the addition of some peeps ripe for anger management. We (Jeff and I) may share some loose writing similarities, (mostly unabashed snarkiness) but our styles are markedly different. I promise you, nowadays - without even trying - I offend more people than he ever will.
Understood. Spokeswalrus is something you or Jeff or a handful of others could have concocted, but that sadly remains beyond reach of mortals like me. Much respect.🙏
I’ve always appreciated your sardonic comments which compliment J Childers, but at the same time are your own individual take on life. I always miss you when you are not here.

Just had to share—apparently I have had C&C on my mind too much lately because last night I actually dreamed I met Jeff and went on a podcast with him 😂😆
I had reached the same conclusion that a “good guy” insider secured that burn bag evidence for posterity. Obviously I read spy vs spy cartoons in Mad magazine as a kid.
I forgot about Nancy Drew!! Loved them - got Nancy Drew books for birthdays, Christmas, and the like and had a huge library of them. Sadly, they were stored in my parent's basement and in my college years, that had some minor flooding that ended up making them all moldy and had to be trashed.
Oh my gosh. I was just going to mention Trixie Belden and there you were. I personally did not care for Nancy Drew but Trixie. I read those books over and over.
I can’t help wondering whether John Durham left a little something aside in hopes posterity would right a great wrong. The guy seemed upright to me - but he obviously failed to pursue adequately or indict the guilty parties. So I’m guessing he (or his family) was threatened & his investigation curtailed.
Good Friday Morning. Why does the Times insist on calling this a trade "war"? I wouldn't even call it protectionism. It's simply doing what's right for the American economy. It is leading us to becoming independent from the enslavement of the cartel banking system, the Federal Reserve. Or am I wrong?
And now they are at war with "thinness? Conservative women are concerned with FITness and healthy lifestyles. yes?
Just connecting dots here. America has a BIG Obesity problem, the Left normalizes Obesity, Big Pharma markets Ozempic (weight loss) like drugs. It’s the same playbook as Covid. Create a BIG Problem, Big Pharma has the Solution (and billions on profits), Depopulation mysteriously accelerates as Ozempic nasty side effects kick in. Elites win. Team Humanity loses.
I’m losing weight and keeping it off, says a person who still looks obese to me. Imagine a pimply-faced person selling a cure for acne. I’m clearing my complexion and keeping it bumpy? Might want to look for something else.
Back in the very early 70’s when fm radio was starting out Cincinnati’s WEBN had a spoof company called Brute Force Cybernetics and their slogan was “ We create a need then fill it.”
I've wondered if liberal women who lean toward unattractiveness have been molested as children and their goal is to be as unattractive as possible to deflect attention.
There can definitely be a protective shield in fatness. I guess tattoos, piercings, greasy hair and ugly clothing takes it one step further, but I don’t think it’s all stemmed in physical abuse. I think it’s a cultural thing as well.
It’s weird, have you ever noticed in the last 20+ years that if the parents are fat the kids are usually fat too? I guess it’s protection, clan-like behavior. ‘Here honey, have another doughnut, one more can’t hurt. I’ll just normalize fatness so I don’t hate myself so much’. 🤷♀️
Not just liberal women. I have heard firsthand, obese women talking about how they were molested and wanted to make them themselves unattractive by putting on weight, as well as trying to numb painful feelings, using food as a drug. It is very sad.
To Kathleen. That’s because they are not Christians. Jesus is love and they do not have that love in their hearts. What we see on the outside is what is in their hearts.
I do not agree with framing this as domination. Trump has used the word recipricol many times. If it becomes domination it truly risks negative consequences. The US under the globalists has behaved horribly and tge world is learning our role in creating COVID.
The dollar is threatened for ligitamate reasons. If we truly harm nations that are, due to their own inane policy already economically weak, blaming the US can become a groundswell. In honorable trade all boats rise.
But it was ok to harm our nation the past 50 years? If all boats rise in honorable trade why did the US boat sink to the bottom and stay there all these years, and everyone like it? My family has felt it personally and deeply, and we can’t get those years back. I don’t care if other nations try to blame us for their misfortunes, I’m sick of that fear keeping our citizens beaten down.
I think it’s not so much that our boat sank, but rather many of us got pitched over board when globalists took charge of the boat. Insane amount of money have been spent on wars in the military industrial complex. Also, greedy corporations took our factories overseas. And also, the sickcare industry costs us more than anything.
Juju I said nothing of not addressing an issue. "Recipricol" trade" is a real issue. That is very different then "domination" of another nation yes? As to all boats rising, I assure you, in a global depression all boats sink.
We made that bed and we have been sleeping in it. And that is not a reason to go for more then equitable trade. Trying to punish the world is a foolish errand.
Maybe its just part of the spectrum of wokeness? Since the #1 thing a woke adherent has to do is hate white men, their ancestors and anything they stand for and therefore any rationalization that can say their(or someone's) 'victimhood' is caused by white people is deemed as their 'truth'?
The compassion they all claim to feel so deeply is fake, it's actually hatred for white people that they feel/express. They don't care about the 'victims' all they want to do is punish those they see as the perpetrators.
I watch the interaction among the birds at my backyard birdbath; the Mockingbirds, the Blue Jays, the blackbirds, the doves, the Cardinals, etc., and I agree it is actually a matter of insurmountable cultural incompatibility
… or put more simply ‘birds of a feather flocking together’
…’tho maybe in this case ‘flocking’ is the wrong word
Maybe it’s because they know that white people are much less than 10% of the worldwide population and that whites are the minority race of the world.
They are jealous because they realize whites (even though they are the minority race of the world) have given people of all colors most of the things that make life wonderful such as: electricity in your home, air conditioning, the internet, computers, GPS, trains, cell phones, airplanes, cars, bikes, motorcycles, television, movies, cameras, sewing machines, refrigerators, washers and dryers, museums, masterpieces of art, music and literature, antibiotics, travel to other planets, among many other things.
They are jealous that white people have immensely elevated the standard of living for all races of people.
They are jealous because white people have built the best countries in the world to live in.
They know what primitive lives other races would be living without the interventions and inventions of white people and resent that.
Since so many people of color (and leftist whites) are trying to demoralize and dehumanize everyday white people, maybe we should strive to teach people about all the excellent contributions that white people have made in this world.
I'm adding that to my list of 'things' about them! The more I think about it, the religion of wokeness is extensive in its reach. I'm concerned some woke AI will become their 'way', or as the podcaster Jeff talked about seemed to demand - someone to tell her what to do(and I assuming how to think).
"...It is leading us to becoming independent from the enslavement of the cartel banking system."
I think that is where Trump is going. The Fed Reserve chairman is in the process of being forced out and Trump is laying the groundwork to replace the international monetary system with a re-valued dollar. The money flows indicate this. Central banks and big 'whales' have recently been buying gold at an unprecedented rate. Escalating international war is also a driver.
Last night Trump announced a 39% tariff on Switzerland, effective Aug 7th. This was strategically dropped the day before their traditional 1-month summer holiday. Swiss traders having to rush back to their desks on a Saturday.
Swiss trade federation president is just as exasperated as NPR executives when he said this:
“I am stunned. These tariffs are based on no rational basis and are arbitrary. This decision puts tens of thousands of jobs in the industry at risk”
I’m curious what Trump is after here. I speculate it’s pharmaceutical driven.
As I think this over, it could be a ‘message’ to holdout’s China, Mexico and Canada. That Trump is serious about remaking the world trade order and even the most neutral will be forced to bend the knee.
I disagree. Nobody has used trade in the way Trump has, and America has the upper hand in all bi lateral trade relations. Trump tariffs are so far, working. Brasil is getting punished by trade (50% tariffs) for the Left government there doing to Bolsonaro, what the Left did to Trump here in America. Message sent. Now, Brasil ball is in your court. We can live without Brasil trade, they can too but not without a lot of pain. Same w/ Swiss. Stop hosting the Globalists. We can’t get by without their pharmaceuticals, precious metals and watches.
I manage international business with a Swiss company and this outfit is very meticulous when it comes to contract agreements. Which I think is emblematic of the country. I love the outdoors in Switzerland. But not much I personally buy from that country that I'm aware of. I looked it up. Switzerland exported USD $73B to USA in 2024 (which represents ~ 17% of Swiss overall exports). $50B of that was pharmaceuticals, and much of that was VACCINES and other anti-serums. So, there might be a clue?
I'll be checking stock price next week for RHHBY, NVS and LONN (Roche, Novartis and Lonza)
President Trump needs to do a fireside chat every two months or so, and explain such things in some detail. BRICS is truly on the rise, and rightly or wrongly, blame the USA can easily grow legs.
I don’t see this (fireside chats) occurring this early in his Presidency. Part of Trump success is keeping friends and foes alike off balance, himself being both surprising to those he casts an eye upon, as well as malleable thereafter. Half the population dislikes him, so if he explains what he’s doing, it gives his opponents fuel to further oppose him. With all the attacks he’s undergone, IMO, he’s better off keeping them guessing (or assuming).
I don't take the Times, but I think what is missing from the tariff reporting I have seen is a true comparison of before and after, or at least so far. If anyone knows of a good article not behind a paywall please share a link.
Buy American? We cannot free ourselves of the Fed any longer. Not unless the entire world agreed to abandon fiat currencies, and that’s just not happening.
I drive a 2019 VW currently, which I bought new and has very low miles (due to Covid). My next car will be whoever still sells a manual and mostly analog dash. That’s the way I roll.
Fit Christian mama here; after years of generally healthy eating and a generally healthy lifestyle, I started working out daily and lifting weights last year when I realized that if I wanted more babies (I do) and if I want to model strength and discipline to my kids, my body needed to be stronger, more resilient and I needed to be more disciplined myself. It has been life changing. I’m not a fitness person but I am becoming truly healthy and strong and it is amazing! And I know it’s growing because even in my community (a very unhealthy rural/suburban southern area) so many Christian and conservative moms are gathering to work out and support each other in learning healthy lifestyles. It’s so cool to be part of. MAHA!
Keeping oneself healthy is not a political decision nor a relgious one. It is just common sense so as not to be dependent upon a corrupt medical establishment which will never provide health to anyone. Self discipline doesn't need an affiliation other than with oneself.
Agree, Susanna - don’t you think it’s a response to all the negativity & filth & ugliness promoted by the left? The drugged-out zombie look? The rings through noses? Obesity promoted as «beautiful»?
We reject all that - we want to be/stay healthy & attractive - it’s pro life in the widest sense!
The political climate and faith can certainly influence people’s decisions toward or away from health, as we have seen clearly in the past decades and specifically the Covid/woke era. But it’s true we don’t have to wait for anyone to pursue health. However, it’s can be a lot more accessible when our public and private systems are promoting it instead of lying about it existing and promoting disease instead😊
Yes, we certainly don't have a system that encourages physical or emotional well-being. im glad you found people to work/play with that allow both. Best to you!
Love this! I think exercising and good health are totally compatible with Christianity. Your body is given to you by God and you should treat it well. Discipline and self control are excellent qualities and important to model for your children.
And as a runner (though I didn’t start until later in life) Hebrews 12:1 really resonates with me—I feel that running and training and racing are helping give my not just physical strength but mental strength too!
I'm curious what you've found that works for you Susanna. Do you have a program or a YouTube you follow? Do you go to a gym? I'm 47 and approaching "the transition" and hormones are whack and I've put on 15 lbs with no changes in lifestyle or diet. I eat healthily and try to walk 3 miles a day, but I know at this stage of life the muscle starts deteriorating quickly and I need to work on that. Not sure where to start.
I was deep into what may be termed “postpartum depletion” when I started - I had a lot of nagging daily health issues that mainstream med didn’t really address. I started by waking up at 6:30 every morning and going for a 15 minute walk. Then it became 20 minutes, then I added in some Pilates inspired stretching to help my body loosen up and be in less pain (I love Robin Long’s approach - you can look her up on YouTube), then as I felt better and gained energy and reset my Circadian rhythm with early morning natural light exposure and evening natural light exposure (think, be outside within the first our of daylight and when possible, around the last hour of daylight), I started wanting more resistance and added in some light weights; reps and weights have increased. In the midst of this I increased my protein intake by being conscious of my eating habits and including a high quality protein smoothie in my morning (banana, strawberry, spinach, blueberries, protein powder - a poor quality protein powder will work against you as I found out the hard way). Look up “Leptin reset” (Livehealthillie.com has a great gentle reset article - I was doing almost all of it and didn’t realize it had a name 😅). I also went gluten free, which has not been the sacrifice many think it will be. So many other options out there.
But literally, my first step was a first Step.
Walking daily has changed my life.
I started a local walking club to help encourage other busy women and mamas to get out and move too! And I’m not some sort of influencer or anything, just a moving mama! I hope you find a pathway that works to get you strong and feeling healthy 💕
I went through a similar transition in my later 50s with similar results. Good enough to win rave reviews in a cruise bikini contest at 60. Lately I have notice a few extra pounds and blame it partly on more dining out with less control over the foods. But I had also been wondering about the effects of the timing of my walks as I have moved away from the first thing in the morning walk. I think there is something to setting up your metabolism for the day. Your comment may just motivate me to get back to the early walk to see if that generates results. Thank you!
You maybe already have heard about the benefits of “low angle light” (early morning and late day sunlight) but if not it’s an interesting listen/read if you look up some videos on YouTube or mercola.com. I know I feel so much better when I get out first thing and some days last thing again 🤩☀️
Actually, Senior Shape might be a better fit for you since you’re an absolute beginner. Lauren has a variety of safe & effective weight workouts that you will enjoy 😊 Here’s her playlist:
Jessica Smith has some excellent workouts for beginners on her YouTube channel. Here’s an exercise forum where you can ask questions, find workout reviews and links to different types of workouts on YouTube. https://homefitness.freeforums.net/
I usually work out from 1-3 hours per day. I do yoga, strength, Pilates, barre and other types of workouts. I’ve been working out since the 80’s. It keeps my body youthful. However, just working out for 20-30 minutes a day, a few days a week will keep you in good shape.
I am in my early 40s; read somewhere - I can’t remember where everything was now - that at a certain point all the exercises we did in the past won’t be effective anymore unless we up our protein intake and start lifting. I felt like I did start to see the most physical effects of my exercising when I added these in. I’m so impressed you get in 3 miles a day! I still have littles in the home so everything I do has to be able to be done in the home (or briefly outside in the right circumstances), sometimes with them right beside me 😂 my 3 year old took the place of my weights for squats the other day!
Soros Assisted Hillary and Obama in Russian Collusion Hoax
Newly declassified documents reveal that George Soros assisted Hillary Clinton in creating the Russian collusion hoax in an attempt to discredit Donald Trump and deceive the American public ahead of a presidential election. Special counsel John Durham’s 2023 report has been largely declassified and now reveals the link between Soros’s Open Society Foundations and the Clintons...
...This is groundbreaking corruption and a direct attack on American democracy by Obama, the Clintons, Comey, Soros, and everyone who aided them or turned a blind eye to the corruption that they knew had occurred. This is far larger than simply defamation—the Democrats backed by foreign influence (Soros) attempted to manipulate the outcome of the 2016 US Presidential Election. Their plot failed and the people prevailed. If this blatant disregard for democracy is overlooked there is a grand chance it could reoccur. The people on both sides of the aisle should be absolutely outraged that politicians and intelligence agency believe they have the right to decide on our leadership.
We all knew that; Soros has his stubby fingers in every possible place that invites societal rot. Past time to line them up and knock them down...permanently.
Evil runs rampant and will always until the end of days when God sets it right. If we are upset, imagine how God feels watching this shitshow on earth. I wish we could see their just rewards but I will have to rely on God's words that vengeance is His. Heavy sigh. But yes, all these "things" called people partake in evil to help one another. Would Satan have it any other way. He too needs followers.
Well he has no claim in my home or at least I fight him off when needed and tell him to piss off and remind him with glee that he loses in the end. That clincher makes me smile.
Why does the Soros clan still walk free? Who has indicted them? Who has the receipts to bring charges against them? We can't just jail them because we SEE they are criminals. They have to be brought up on criminal charges. Who will do it, and for what?
I was never a QAnon follower, but I have a friend who seems to be familiar with it. She reminds me that the prediction was always that Israel would be saved for last.
"And on a bigger scale, Nature doesn’t negotiate. If we don’t self-correct, if we continue thinking we can outsmart biology, Nature will smash civilization itself and make us start over from the ruins. When a society stops reproducing (e.g., Ancient Rome), Nature doesn’t just send a memo. It pulls the plug."
I saw a post on Substack today in which someone was complaining that the default was heterosexuality instead of "anyone can love anyone." She failed to grasp that this default isn't imposed by an unjust society, but is instead a biological reality.
This is their paradigm or belief system and all paradigms are ultimately based on a faith. This is presuppositional thinking. The philosophy of Humanism is as much based on faith as is any religion. IE, Humanism is also a religion where Man is god. "She failed to grasp..." because her worldview cannot see this reality through the lens of her humanist assumptions or presuppositions.
Has anyone else seen the report about a study done with mice where they placed a male and female mouse into an environment designed to support 1000 mice? The result of the study, according to the report, was that when the population approached the 1000 mouse mark and began running out of food that they stopped reproducing and started eating each other. The end result was that all the mice died. All of them.
Yup. When I was a kid, we accidentally allowed that to happen by keeping gerbils of both sexes in the same space. The population exploded fast, and one mother ate her children, and we even had a murderous male gerbil that had to be excommunicated. I was just a little kid, but it was a brutal lesson in biology. It seems like the planet is having the opposite problem now. I am especially hoping that the people that avoided the Covid injection have many babies! I am concerned about some negative genetic changes in the jabbed being passed down.
In the 1962 study, Calhoun described the behavior (during the decline of the population) as follows:
“Many [female rats] were unable to carry the pregnancy to full term or to survive delivery of their litters if they did. An even greater number, after successfully giving birth, fell short in their maternal functions. Among the males the behavior disturbances ranged from sexual deviation to cannibalism and from frenetic overactivity to a pathological withdrawal…”
I had heard about this as far as supposed homosexual activity being shown (though I hesitate to put it that way because we don’t really know for sure if there is the same type of attraction/desire as with humans). Which made sense to me in a way because if they’re overpopulated, nature would have ways of remedying that.
Oh....those people who doubted Kash....pshaww....shame on you.
You can tell he has a fire that many don't have.....but a wit to match it.
Trump chose his people very wisely this time.
The Dems screwed up big time by stealing 2020. Had Trump been allowed to take office, he NEVER would have been able to accomplish what he has......the Dems sealed their own fate because they couldn't help themselves. They only know one way forward---cheating.
When Trump allied with RFK, I saw the hope coming.
When everyone was nonstop bitching about this or that not being done.....I held steady, because you can FEEL something in the air. It's palpable. My liberal friends, though few, are VERY quiet these days...and not just quiet in response to things, quiet OVERALL. They are all stunned and don't know what to say.
I truly hope this country can come back together again. I'm 61......I'm just at a point where I can slow down and enjoy some things....I'm really hoping it doesn't all blow up.
I know the Dems won't just give up.....and things might get very ugly.
Kash was going to 'tear down' the FBI HQ his first week in office. Trump was going to relocate them to the midwest.
A half year later? Trump is investing more money into the current building, and zero big arrests have occurred. We can also throw Bongino's based quotes in the face of his inaction as reminders that the swamp claims many victims.
But maybe something is finally happening. I'd love to see it.
Let's not even get into the nothing-burger of our lame AG.
Even Kennedy has got sugar into coke and no food dyes instead of stopping the child vax schedule.
Again - just quoting their own statements is not 'nonstop bitching'.
“When a Kamala regime comes into power, they will sweep these agencies clean from the start instead of pussyfooting…”.
You are delusional dude…the “Kamala regime” aka, democrats have been in power how many years since the turn of the century and what agencies have they “swept clean”? THEY are the ones who dirtied the agencies! Get yourself on some meds or a new pair of glasses so you can see clearly!
Just look at the last term. They put Jan 6 protesters in jail for trespassing. Years in jail. No messing around. Better believe they will move fast when they are in power. We're squandering time that is precious.
I like what you say, Lois, but after being on the receiving end of some personal digs, I have developed an aversion to them. I try to speak only to the things said and not to the character of the one saying them
… however, to each his own and if you feel righteous, you go girl
It can be ok to support what IS happening and be happy about it, but question their own words and speak to what is not being done -all at the same time.
I will not put Trump or his administration on a pedestal, lest they fall from the place I put them.
I will question them, their motives, their words, their actions and in-actions. Have we learned nothing in the past 5 years. That’s rhetorical. We have lived all our years not questioning. Look where that got us. Celebrities have no business being worshipped or idolized. Religious figures don’t either. Politicians certainly not. We better figure that out now.
I will celebrate what Trump and his people are doing….but I will expect a higher standard than what we have gotten in my lifetime, and I suggest we all do the same.
Trump and his team are human and capable of mistakes and wrong decisions. They should be called out on those. But they should be supported by the good they are doing as well.
I am just wondering....'burn bags'??? PAPER documents. This is not 1972 where documents were produced using a typewriter. So whose computers where these documents are out there? Did all the hard drives get destroyed? Are there no backups to a cloud? Is a paper document as the only source of information even credible in a court of law? Seems awfully convenient that they are released amidst this Epstein outcry that the administration seems bent on memory-holing. I am not necessarily swallowing the black pill. But I hope these paper documents can be vetted as authentic in such as way that will allow for prosecution.
I guess there are 6 ways from Sunday to fake stuff regardless of the medium. I was thinking that if these docs were important they'd be backed up somewhere and or on more than one computer. Unless they were all backed up to Hillary's home server?
I would think even in today's world you would have to have paper documents. Like for courts or investigations...computers go down..everything thing of importance should have the copy to back it up.
It seems that a slow drip of vax info going out is having an effect on parents' willingness to follow the "schedule". This is change from the bottom up. We may not eventually need to "fix" the schedule. The people may fix it themselves. For me, haven't had a shot in 11 years ❤
ALL good points BFM. Below, Sunnydaze has the right take. The POINT is this: It is up to US to hold their feet to the fire! Celebrate what is being accomplished but the BEST support for Trump & Co is for the American people to constantly hold their feet to the fire. That should be what it means to hold office.
I will also say that I do believe SOME of what is being done and said is to put things in motion that will come down the line. I do think they are prepping the masses for arrests. I don’t think they can just whip it up and do it. I wonder if some of what they said wasn’t meant for us who are awake, but those who aren’t. Prepping them inside the safe spaces they live in so they will come out when it happens. 🤷♀️ Doesn’t mean I have to like it, but I do need to be patient about it.
Trump just put in motion a digital health record order. I am 100% against it and think he went down the wrong road on this. But I have a friend who actually looked it up and said we can opt out of it. But like always we won’t know we can unless we read the fine print. It’s up to us to spread the word.
Although I will say speed IS of the essence in some of the moves they are making. Take too long and the opposition finds ways to dig in/fight back. Moving fast keeps the enemies off balance. And he did have 4 long years in the wilderness to plot his course, although I am not sure when the decision to run again came about.
They asked him that in a presser yesterday Jeff. Why didn't you do this in your first term. And Trump responded, because you people were attacking me constantly, as he pointed at the media personality who asked the question.
Not just the media .. You know that. FBI, CIA, DOJ, Senate, house, impeachments etc. They did every thing they could to derail his first term. This is what the Russiagate doc dump Going on right now is all about.
There's a lot going on here. I'm going to focus on the obscure hidden scif room full of burn bags contain a trove of evidence documents.
I'm retired law enforcement from a large metro sheriff's department. I was tendered and accepted at a license revocation hearing before the North Carolina Real Estate Commission as an expert on agency record keeping systems. I was the evidence manager for our warehouse facilities where we stored stuff important to cases. I know how damned hard it can be to find things, both in electronic and paper records as well as the nooks and crannies. Our department, large as it was was but a fraction of the size of the FBI.
Mr. Childers' musings that an insider pointed the new director to the exact spot makes a lot of sense. The person or persons who stashed the stuff there need NOT be the same one who did the pointing out. The back story of how they wound up in the room and never were incinerated - hopefully we'll get that someday.
Patience, people, I'm getting more confident that these deep state scumbags are facing real criminal prosecutions. These massive complex conspiracy cases take a LOT of work to assemble and launch.
I can't think of anything I'd rather do than listen to a "podcast interview between two female Times op-ed editors"...oh, wait, I forgot, I've got to wash my socks.
I still have an awfully hard time believing that there was a deep state attempt at his life - if they wanted him dead i'm pretty sure he'd be dead. But he's the guy to usher in the biometric surveillance state.
Johnny - remember the bullet hit him. The guy behind him was killed. It was a serious, well planned attempt.
Absolute fluke that he wasn’t assassinated on live TV - just what they wanted I bet.
(Others say miracle, I’m aware).
As for the control grid - lots of worrying developments, I agree. For now, Trump’s opposing the CBDC though, which is something. Have to see how it all turns out - & hope we can stop it.
Maybe they were taking their lead from Hollywood, like the Superman movies. It would’ve been a remake of the JFK assassination, on live TV, to a worldwide audience.
…CBS was there to film it (note: it was the only Trump rally CBS attended)
Do you believe everything you see on TV? If I thought God talked to me I wouldn't make statements like you did that come off as a factual statement that you cannot prove, that's all.
You must be such fun at parties, and I’m betting you have just loads of illegals as friends…..the subspecies from the ‘stupudstan’ nations with the peaceful religion that put babies in microwaves and cooked them on Oct 7.
What a miserable thing you are. Masquerading as ‘Johnny’

“Therefore do not fear them, for there is nothing concealed that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known. What I tell you in the darkness, speak in the light; and what you hear whispered in your ear, proclaim upon the housetops. Do not fear those who kill the body but are unable to kill the soul; but rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. Are not two sparrows sold for a cent? And yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So do not fear; you are more valuable than many sparrows.”
— Matthew 10:26-31 NASB95

Let us pray solemnly and fervently for our President Trump - and his GREAT team, he is taking on the entire corrupt world for us, the American people, who have been savaged economically and politically for decades by that corrupt, evil world. I pray that God protect him and his team, and that God continues to use him as an instrument of His Perfect Will in destroying the abundant evil everywhere. Please let Trump Always Win to do Your Will.
re: "It’s every man for himself now." Let those treasonous bastards rot in prison and then burn in hell for eternity. The truth will be known.
To me it is beyond the sublime that the liberals thought it perfectly rational and lawful to bring corrupt, absolutely unlawful, lawfare against former President Trump, many people around him, J6'ers, etc after 2020 but now think it is criminal for President Trump and his team to prosecute these vermin, and put them in prison, for real treason and actual criminal behavior.
I don't need a permission structure, I'm way beyond ready to act as the hangman for these vermin.
This cabal killed a president in ‘63, and removed another a decade later. Getting way out over their skis.
I keep volunteering, so far no call has come through.
Me and you both brother!
Yeah, no rot in prison for these folks! Get the ammo ready!!!
I understand your thought Vicki, but wouldn’t it be even better if they got life sentences first, before going to hell to burn in eternity - I mean I think they have earned and deserve the full treatment for what they have done.
My concern with anything but execution....is permission given to others to try this again at some point knowing they wont receive the ultimate sentence....AND the possibility of some future President pardoning them.
I don’t know God’s plan, I am way too ignorant to understand that and what mercy he may or may not bring on them. So I guess I just want whatever remaining time they have on this earth to be spent in a prison cell, thinking about all of it - but I do understand your not wanting even a small possibility for another Resident Autopen Cabbage or Ovomit letting them off the hook.
Vicki, I hear you.
Recently I keep remembering what God commanded to be done with the Amalakites in 1 Samuel chapter 15.
That command was necessary, and failure to obey it brought terrible consequences.
And take every dime from them.
Not only life sentences but solitary confinement for a lot of it just like the J6ers.
Amen to that sister.
Why should we have to pay for their jeep. Justice should be swift where they are concerned
I don’t know, I just want them to have a decade or two to think about their sins before they go next to hell. I s’pose we are getting ahead of ourselves, we first need convictions.
Keep.
I can see BHO seeking exile somewhere, writing a tell all book and living in his world of make believe until he meets The Almighty. I hope I am wrong.

Jeff’s blog today & then this scripture reminded me that back during Covid & even prior to that my prayer was - Lord Jesus may the truth come out. Please bring the evil into the light. I’m in awe because I feel the Lord is answering my prayer in huge ways. Thank you Jesus.
I too have been praying since Trump’s 1st administration that all those deeds done in darkness be brought into the light and that all those who have laid out traps be caught in their own snares. God is good and His mercy endures forever! Thank you Father for answering my prayers. Your Will be done!
Yes, and Amen. To Jessica I say this: find out about Jesus. When you know Him and trust Him, all of a sudden you'll know exactly how to live your life.
Isn't it amazing that her statement indicted her reality-- she is an atheist.
There are two different terms in Hebrew that are translated as "curse" as used in the phrase those that blesse you i will bless those that curse you i will curse. One of them may be better translated as they will be exposed to God's light. See https://lisaslamp.com/post-script-on-blessings-and-curses for more.
EXCELLENT blog post, Lisa! Quite revealing!
Love this!!
I take great comfort in knowing that Almighty God sees all. And even if He doesn’t reveal it now, HE WILL JUDGE!
This. I am in awe, and filled with gratitude for answered prayer for our nation and leaders and society. The LORD is mighty and completely trustworthy. We must remember His goodness, and continue to intercede.
Thank you,Janice..praise GOD that HE is fulfilling HIS promises of exposing things done in the dark to the light which is truth.
I was thinking of this same scripture while reading Jeff’s comments on the Russiagate investigation!
Donna, I accidentally reported you, intending to report KJU. My apologies, and I sent another report to the admins to make corrective action.

Just think, if American Eagle had chosen say…Rosie O’Donnell as their Amazonian Spokeswalrus, how America could have averted the nervous breakdowns of thousands of disgruntled useless sewer level gag merchants and other such unstable mealymouthed lowlifes. However…..was it worth it to witness the ensuing apocalyptic emotional collapse over an attractive white woman in a pair of jeans? Yeah. Four years of compulsory hell has turned me a bit sadistic.
Incidentally, what a joy to see Scott Adams completely flip his own script. Enlightenment at the speed of science.
I bought two pair of American Eagle boot cut jeans yesterday, will get them around 7 Aug! My small contribution to their continued success and ultra magnificent ads! I also sent them an email thanking them for Sydney.
Eric it was bad enough that I had to look at the calvin klein ad yesterday featuring the two abominable deviants but now you make me conjure a view of the "spokeswalrus" - thanks for nothing! However, that name MUST stick!
And yes, it was completely worth it to see the collapse of their carefully created disgusting narrative that fat ugly old men with man-titties can be "women" and we have to also accept fat, ugly, tattooed, blue/green/purple haired and face metaled delusional baby murdering cretins as women.
Bring on the Sydney's of the world!
SO fed up with seeing freakish people forced on us as if they’re mainstream.
They aren’t.
Fine if individuals want to present themselves in weird ways - but we’re right to object to the psyop trying to persuade us that freakish is mainstream or majority. It ain’t!
I agree with your assertion about being fed up. I am too.
What I would take issue with, if anything, is that it is "fine" to present themselves in weird ways. My position is that if God wanted them to be "fat, ugly, tattooed, blue/green/purple haired and face metaled delusional baby murdering cretins" He would have created them that way. This is the result of incarnate evil on which we mustn't look the other way.

Agree, “spokeswalrus” was the perfect name 🤣🤣🤣
Spokewalrus the latest edition to the Coffee and Covid dictionary!
But bizarrely Beyoncé did a similar ad for Levi’s a while back. Zero criticism.
Two sets of rules, baby!
But what an insult to walrus' 🤣😉
I bought some jeans yesterday as well. Suck it AWFL's!!
Well done Sadie!
Enjoy the jeans Dan!
These are my first pairs of them. I wasn't even aware of American Eagle jeans until this ad. Can't wait to get them... and with the 30% off, a really great value too!
They have great sales!
Just had this comment tattooed on my fit, lily white arse!!!!
Thank you Dan!!
The Progressive Leftist worldview IS NOT bereft of vision or values, IT IS a CULT that emotionally and psychologically awaits orders and affirmations. Whenever Self-Destruction and DEATH is offered the group and most often even to the individual they dutifully move toward it. "Liberalism is a mental disorder" (Michael Savage) is not quite a strong enough critique. Thin-shaming a white woman over her jeans because of genes is a level of hubris only the Cultists could express, as they do on most every single issue that they turn their attention to.
It is a ‘spiritual disorder’.
It is demonic.
100% disorder. That is not one of God's traits. Praise Him, even the languid left is starting to feel it.
Jeff rang this bell rather clearly today: "This is what the Lord says: 'Stand at the crossroads and look. Ask for the ancient paths. Ask where the good way is and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls’” (Jeremiah 6:16).
Everyone who thinks lean and mean close-knit families and communities are only a conservative Christian-American delusion should travel the world and see for themselves. “For this people’s heart has become calloused. They hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise, they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts and turn, and I would heal them” (Matthew 13:15). It's time to be sick and tired of being sick and tired.
I've been binge watching this fantastic late 70s (76 to 79) series on Tubi - starring James Arness (who also played Matt Dillon in Gunsmoke) - "How the West Was Won"! It should be seen by every American family who loves traditional, Godly values. Arness - as Zebulon "Zeb" Macahan and the rest of the cast are superb.
I will have to look it up. I vaguely remember their being that show but in that time period I was graduating college, becoming a teacher, getting married and having my first child, so for some reason it escaped me. The original movie version of “How the West was Won” came out in the early 60’s. I was a kid then but my parents and their friends went to see it. My dad loved westerns. It was called a blockbuster because it had virtually every big Hollywood name of the time in it, was 3 hours long and spanned over a 100 years of American history. I always thought they did a very credible job of showing a family going down the Ohio river on flatboats seeking new lands in the northern territories.
I was in love with that show in the 70's. Was so upset when Bruce Boxleitner married Laura Ingalls.
I recently found it on Tubi, I was in a military school back at the time, no TV, and never saw it, or even knew about it until now.
I've always liked Bruce, and was sad when he married Melissa Gilbert. They are now divorced and she's moved on to husband #3 Timothy Busfield.
Excellent verses from both Jeremiah and Matthew
…quoting both God and Jesus
These are facts and damn well said WP!
It’s a fantastic book, if you like Dr Savage.
I was listening to Michael Savage on the radio decades ago. Borders, language, culture. He was MAGA before Trump was MAGA.
He has a show on Newsmax
Yes, love it. I missed part of the special on him Sunday. I hope they put it up on demand.
Bingo!.
My friends and I talked about this the other day. Yes, we’re old, but of a generation that women were thin! There were a few buxom women, but when a woman got married and was getting that white gown, she wanted to look like a princess in it. She lost the weight if that was the only time she was thin. This was perhaps societal pressure, but now the trend is completely reversed. Thin brides are the abnormal and I am tired of seeing some young woman Saran wrapped into a wedding dress that shows every bulge and double chin and call it lovely. On a side note, the grooms are no longer the face of handsome masculinity and fitness either, too often looking like they have been too long at the all you can eat buffet before game night with their friends.
Here’s a more recent couple, toast by the groom’s father. I think you’ll enjoy it.

Oh man thank you for a good hard morning cry combined with laughter! That was beautiful.
Thanks, Paige! Fabulous - and just what we would all hope for.
Tears and laughter to this father... thanks Paige for sharing.
Wonderful. Thanks for sharing.
So sweet..
That was wonderful 🥹
Paige, that was great. Got me misty-eyed.
So sweet and funny!! ❤️
Wonderful, just wonderful. Tears and laughter together are the best.
The good news is it is turning around, our counter revolution is working. I think it is because we all seek to do God's Will instead of evil's. We must keep the "pedal firmly planted to the floorboard". Remember, evil's obsession, and primary goal is to destroy humanity.
When I was FAT it was not in. Imagine how upset I was when I lost 65 lbs and being fat became chic.
the photos of beach scenes from the 70s and today tell the whole story - but surprising that there was not more on the health of trim v. heavy - its significant
I hate the way the left wing media tries to say “people of color” are naturally NOT thin. Look at photos of African Americans in the 60’s and 70’s and they were slim. It’s our processed foods and cultural malaise
Trump should start a program like Reagan did to encourage high school boys to be athletic.
I think he re-started the Presidential Physical Fitness program that used to be around decades ago. JFK, maybe? Anything will help!
Was LBJ in 1966. I received the top award in 4th, 5th and 6 grade. Can still recall getting a 're-do' (one permitted)from forever revered Mr Behning in the 50 yard dash one of many tough events.
One had to get in under 6 seconds from a standing start. Pretty much the whole school(south Minneapolis) was on the playground that morning; it was a very big deal! On try 2, clocked a 5.55. Whew! Wearing Jack Purcells canvas shoes and slipping on the gravel.1st attempt was a 6.1.
Quicker boys than me missed out if they could not throw a softball over 200 feet. Was so proud of the patches and Mom sewed them on my then hockey team jacket! People of all ages would stop me on the street to hear my story.
SoMplsboy, this was just wonderful - really made me smile! What a fantastic memory to have and what good times. These are the small treasures that make life extra special. Thanks so much for sharing!
That blasted softball throw kept me off every year! But I could do the arm hang for ages and ages - I should've gotten points from that which could go towards the softball throw.
Yes JFK. I was in HS in the esrly 60s. We had to do fitness tests. I couldn't do pull ups but killed it with with sit ups. Did 150. More than anyone in my class at the time.
YES! He did. Just last night on Fox News he made the announcement with a few notable athletes. . .
JFK yep!
ahhhh 60 years ago ... i had the highest Fitness score in a school of 1500 ( ok, half were girls haha) . Running i was so so , push ups and pull ups were my thing . I still do push ups . Pull ups... nope. I have a bar, but afraid if i go off the ground my body might come down but my arms might still be hanging there, attached to the bar .
It's funny how we can all remember the part of the fitness test that was our undoing - and remember the parts we excelled at.
just YESTERDAY.
FOX NEWS.
I see it from two angles as a grandma of 10 to 14 year olds. There are the parents who were decent athletes in high school, perhaps even small college athletes. They are quite often the ones that don’t push their kids to do anything athletic. They have a cornucopia of different activities to choose from and the kid will hop from one to another and eventually succumb to electronics in some form. Then there are the parents who think their 10year old is going to be the next Aaron Judge and he plays travel baseball at 9 years old, Mom and Dad toting him all over the state every weekend and to nearby states for tournaments. The kid likes it for now because they get cool rings and trophies when they win, and he’s playing with friends. Wait a few years…the truth is if you want to pony up the money your kid can play on a travel anything team. I heard from a 40 something Dad how his 11 year old was playing travel ball. The dad was saying there were parents of kids on the teams looking at tommy john’s surgery for healthy arms so a 12 year old could throw a 90 mile an hour fastball. So there is the other end of the spectrum.
I see the problem more as we don’t allow our kids just to go out and play. There are no “pick up” games of baseball, touch football, soccer any longer. Everything has to be organized and safe.
I live on an amazing street where all of the kids in the nearby houses get together and play kickball or ghost in the graveyard or whatever in the common areas and around all of our houses. My son is out there with them all the time! I’m so grateful for that!
There was a small park and basketball court across from our house. And every weekend i was at the school playing touch football ,
I was also on the Little League All Star team for my town . Starting pitcher. First batter up from opposing team hit a high fly ball ,,,,,over the fence ! ....... Well, somehow i haven't forgotten that LOL
How about the way most of the attendees dress like they are going to Hooters for wings and beers? Same with funerals. I still wear coat and tie to both, and often am the only one
Or the female attendees dress like they work at Hooters! Show some decorum people.
Pretty sure they don't even know what that means.
People have no idea and/or don’t care at all about appropriateness anymore 😕
I'm a little ashamed to admit this, but my daughter and I really like watching "Say Yes To the Dress" sometimes just to guffaw at some of the brides stuffing themselves into inappropriate gowns.
Oh ouch 😆😂
Anything and anyone on public viewing platforms, for the sole purpose of being looked at, is fair game 🤠
Hahaha.
"Spokeswalrus" 🤣
Deserving of an apprenticeship with J. Childers.
And evidence of already absorbing the brilliance of the vocabulary master.
I love Jeff's writing, but I don't strive to copy him nor am I absorbing his style. My extended stay on this goofy blue marble has made me my own. I've been with Jeff since the outset of this Covid nonsense and I've witnessed the growth of his Substack from about 10 to 189,000. I've also seen the audience shift a bit to include more delicate sensibilities.....to put it mildly, plus the addition of some peeps ripe for anger management. We (Jeff and I) may share some loose writing similarities, (mostly unabashed snarkiness) but our styles are markedly different. I promise you, nowadays - without even trying - I offend more people than he ever will.
Understood. Spokeswalrus is something you or Jeff or a handful of others could have concocted, but that sadly remains beyond reach of mortals like me. Much respect.🙏
🙏🤜🤛
I’ve always appreciated your sardonic comments which compliment J Childers, but at the same time are your own individual take on life. I always miss you when you are not here.
Oh sure….encourage me! 🤣 I’m trying to dial back my commenting. Some days it's just too easy to get me going.
😁
Actually Eric does very well!

No insults to walruses around the world of course.
But of course. The distinction being that the Walrus has several redeeming qualities as opposed to our butched and beleaguered Land Beluga in question.
These folks are lardlocked.
Took me a couple of tries to see what you did there. Excellent! 😂
Get it started Eric! ‘Land Beluga’ Oh my word! Hilarious 🤣🤣🤣
Ten years ago, DJT was criticized for speaking insultingly of women, and he famously replied, “Only Rosie O’Donnell.”

Just had to share—apparently I have had C&C on my mind too much lately because last night I actually dreamed I met Jeff and went on a podcast with him 😂😆
Living the dream, lol.
Maybe C&C should expand & do a podcast. After all he isn’t that busy. Lol 😂
Youse two two timers!
You’re in love!
In love is maybe not quite the right way to put it 😆 But this Substack certainly occupies a lot of my brain space apparently 😆
I had reached the same conclusion that a “good guy” insider secured that burn bag evidence for posterity. Obviously I read spy vs spy cartoons in Mad magazine as a kid.
Agree. And Nancy Drew was my go-to.
I forgot about Nancy Drew!! Loved them - got Nancy Drew books for birthdays, Christmas, and the like and had a huge library of them. Sadly, they were stored in my parent's basement and in my college years, that had some minor flooding that ended up making them all moldy and had to be trashed.
I was a Navy Drew addict as well.
I loved Nancy Drew too!!
Sorry, Trixie Belden was so much better than Nancy!
Loved her, too!
Oh my gosh. I was just going to mention Trixie Belden and there you were. I personally did not care for Nancy Drew but Trixie. I read those books over and over.
Oh, I wish I still had mine. Lost them in a fire in the early 80s.
You too? Hahaha.
I can’t help wondering whether John Durham left a little something aside in hopes posterity would right a great wrong. The guy seemed upright to me - but he obviously failed to pursue adequately or indict the guilty parties. So I’m guessing he (or his family) was threatened & his investigation curtailed.
I hope it’s real stuff and not a fake plant to discredit the whole thing.
Hopefully, that good guy’s name won’t be added to the Clinton list
Good Friday Morning. Why does the Times insist on calling this a trade "war"? I wouldn't even call it protectionism. It's simply doing what's right for the American economy. It is leading us to becoming independent from the enslavement of the cartel banking system, the Federal Reserve. Or am I wrong?
And now they are at war with "thinness? Conservative women are concerned with FITness and healthy lifestyles. yes?
The liberal women are at war with 'attractiveness.' Their goal is 'ugliness' in all its forms.
Just connecting dots here. America has a BIG Obesity problem, the Left normalizes Obesity, Big Pharma markets Ozempic (weight loss) like drugs. It’s the same playbook as Covid. Create a BIG Problem, Big Pharma has the Solution (and billions on profits), Depopulation mysteriously accelerates as Ozempic nasty side effects kick in. Elites win. Team Humanity loses.
Jpeach - exactly.
The left seem happy about women injecting Ozempic left, right & center. But think it’s rightwing to take excercise & eat healthily.
Their brains must be like pretzels, twisting all over the place to keep attacking every positive aspect of life!
It takes discipline to eat right and exercise. The part of the brain that enables discipline has wilted away for many Americans.
I’m losing weight and keeping it off, says a person who still looks obese to me. Imagine a pimply-faced person selling a cure for acne. I’m clearing my complexion and keeping it bumpy? Might want to look for something else.
Remember .............. we all have it in OUR power to figure out our own PLAYBOOK .
Be the best We can be . ( takes a lot of effort ; physically , mentally, emotionally)
Back in the very early 70’s when fm radio was starting out Cincinnati’s WEBN had a spoof company called Brute Force Cybernetics and their slogan was “ We create a need then fill it.”
Jovan Pulitzer got AI to reveal it:
https://rumble.com/v6wqxe6-how-they-did-it-how-to-facilitate-the-depopulation-of-the-world-in-secret-o.html?e9s=src_v1_cmd%2Csrc_v1_ucp_a
I've wondered if liberal women who lean toward unattractiveness have been molested as children and their goal is to be as unattractive as possible to deflect attention.
There can definitely be a protective shield in fatness. I guess tattoos, piercings, greasy hair and ugly clothing takes it one step further, but I don’t think it’s all stemmed in physical abuse. I think it’s a cultural thing as well.
I'm sure it's multifaceted, as most thing are.
I edited my comment to be less broad.
It’s weird, have you ever noticed in the last 20+ years that if the parents are fat the kids are usually fat too? I guess it’s protection, clan-like behavior. ‘Here honey, have another doughnut, one more can’t hurt. I’ll just normalize fatness so I don’t hate myself so much’. 🤷♀️
Absolutely. Child obesity has to be a learned thing. It's the parent who puts the food in front of the children. 🙄
Addiction to television watching: that’s what I saw among the (comparatively few) obese families of my youth. Just not active outside at all.
Not just liberal women. I have heard firsthand, obese women talking about how they were molested and wanted to make them themselves unattractive by putting on weight, as well as trying to numb painful feelings, using food as a drug. It is very sad.
I’ve heard that too and I agree, it’s very sad indeed 😞 Harming themselves further because of what an evil person did to them 😢
Extremely sad, Kathy.
You Should read The Body Keeps The Score by Bessel van der Kolk... it's brilliant and incredibly grieving. It's not woke, at all, but very truthful.
Once you're done you'll really see the truth in your statement. 😬
😩😭
This would explain despising patriarchy, too.
I've often thought most come from dysfunctional families bc they all seem to suffer from "magical thinking".
To Kathleen. That’s because they are not Christians. Jesus is love and they do not have that love in their hearts. What we see on the outside is what is in their hearts.
Birds of a feather flock together 🐦⬛
Ugliness loves company ............
Ty for pointing that out!
What’s funny is other countries have been doing this to US for years, but no one ever referred to THAT as a “trade war” 🙄
Global welfare program. Thanks, Bretton Woods!
I do not agree with framing this as domination. Trump has used the word recipricol many times. If it becomes domination it truly risks negative consequences. The US under the globalists has behaved horribly and tge world is learning our role in creating COVID.
The dollar is threatened for ligitamate reasons. If we truly harm nations that are, due to their own inane policy already economically weak, blaming the US can become a groundswell. In honorable trade all boats rise.
But it was ok to harm our nation the past 50 years? If all boats rise in honorable trade why did the US boat sink to the bottom and stay there all these years, and everyone like it? My family has felt it personally and deeply, and we can’t get those years back. I don’t care if other nations try to blame us for their misfortunes, I’m sick of that fear keeping our citizens beaten down.
100%. Let them complain; that is what they all do anyway. It is their full time job.
I think it’s not so much that our boat sank, but rather many of us got pitched over board when globalists took charge of the boat. Insane amount of money have been spent on wars in the military industrial complex. Also, greedy corporations took our factories overseas. And also, the sickcare industry costs us more than anything.
I think the point is that for the last 50 years we have been dealing with dishonorable trade, which would explain the USS America sinking
… and no, that was not OK
Try 81 years - since 1944.
Juju I said nothing of not addressing an issue. "Recipricol" trade" is a real issue. That is very different then "domination" of another nation yes? As to all boats rising, I assure you, in a global depression all boats sink.
Maybe more like standing up for ourselves (finally!!) rather than domination.
‘ reciprocal’ was the keyword
… reciprocal tariffs are only fair
Where was honorable trade for the past 50 years? Certainly not honorable for the US.
We made that bed and we have been sleeping in it. And that is not a reason to go for more then equitable trade. Trying to punish the world is a foolish errand.
Nope.
I think you just made me throw up in my mouth a little.
Maybe its just part of the spectrum of wokeness? Since the #1 thing a woke adherent has to do is hate white men, their ancestors and anything they stand for and therefore any rationalization that can say their(or someone's) 'victimhood' is caused by white people is deemed as their 'truth'?
The compassion they all claim to feel so deeply is fake, it's actually hatred for white people that they feel/express. They don't care about the 'victims' all they want to do is punish those they see as the perpetrators.
(punish those they scapegoat as "perpetrators" when it's actually a matter of insurmountable cultural incompatibility)
I'm going to leave my original comment wording just so people can see why your correction to my post was needed. Thanks!
Maybe, based on Jeff's description of the liberal podcasters, I should have said something like "those they have been told are the perpetrators"?
I watch the interaction among the birds at my backyard birdbath; the Mockingbirds, the Blue Jays, the blackbirds, the doves, the Cardinals, etc., and I agree it is actually a matter of insurmountable cultural incompatibility
… or put more simply ‘birds of a feather flocking together’
…’tho maybe in this case ‘flocking’ is the wrong word
Gary T,
Maybe it’s because they know that white people are much less than 10% of the worldwide population and that whites are the minority race of the world.
They are jealous because they realize whites (even though they are the minority race of the world) have given people of all colors most of the things that make life wonderful such as: electricity in your home, air conditioning, the internet, computers, GPS, trains, cell phones, airplanes, cars, bikes, motorcycles, television, movies, cameras, sewing machines, refrigerators, washers and dryers, museums, masterpieces of art, music and literature, antibiotics, travel to other planets, among many other things.
They are jealous that white people have immensely elevated the standard of living for all races of people.
They are jealous because white people have built the best countries in the world to live in.
They know what primitive lives other races would be living without the interventions and inventions of white people and resent that.
Since so many people of color (and leftist whites) are trying to demoralize and dehumanize everyday white people, maybe we should strive to teach people about all the excellent contributions that white people have made in this world.
Have you watched Asha Logos’ series entitled “Our Subverted History “? It’s phenomenal!
White race is probably the hardest to enslave.
But the *white leftists* don’t want to punish *themselves*. They just use it as an excuse to gain more power.
I'm adding that to my list of 'things' about them! The more I think about it, the religion of wokeness is extensive in its reach. I'm concerned some woke AI will become their 'way', or as the podcaster Jeff talked about seemed to demand - someone to tell her what to do(and I assuming how to think).
Yes recall the outdoors and hiking/camping are racist too!
"...It is leading us to becoming independent from the enslavement of the cartel banking system."
I think that is where Trump is going. The Fed Reserve chairman is in the process of being forced out and Trump is laying the groundwork to replace the international monetary system with a re-valued dollar. The money flows indicate this. Central banks and big 'whales' have recently been buying gold at an unprecedented rate. Escalating international war is also a driver.
I agree, all the moves are to make the Fed obsolete. It was nearly impossible to simply abolish it outright, but this works too.
Last night Trump announced a 39% tariff on Switzerland, effective Aug 7th. This was strategically dropped the day before their traditional 1-month summer holiday. Swiss traders having to rush back to their desks on a Saturday.
Swiss trade federation president is just as exasperated as NPR executives when he said this:
“I am stunned. These tariffs are based on no rational basis and are arbitrary. This decision puts tens of thousands of jobs in the industry at risk”
I’m curious what Trump is after here. I speculate it’s pharmaceutical driven.
MAGA.
It's the Swiss. There is a deep "rabbit hole" there, could be many things.
As I think this over, it could be a ‘message’ to holdout’s China, Mexico and Canada. That Trump is serious about remaking the world trade order and even the most neutral will be forced to bend the knee.
Why? Trade is not a good subject for any kind of blackmail.
I disagree. Nobody has used trade in the way Trump has, and America has the upper hand in all bi lateral trade relations. Trump tariffs are so far, working. Brasil is getting punished by trade (50% tariffs) for the Left government there doing to Bolsonaro, what the Left did to Trump here in America. Message sent. Now, Brasil ball is in your court. We can live without Brasil trade, they can too but not without a lot of pain. Same w/ Swiss. Stop hosting the Globalists. We can’t get by without their pharmaceuticals, precious metals and watches.
The Swiss have always been looking out for the Swiss. For the rest of us think of Swiss cheese - full of holes. ;-)
I manage international business with a Swiss company and this outfit is very meticulous when it comes to contract agreements. Which I think is emblematic of the country. I love the outdoors in Switzerland. But not much I personally buy from that country that I'm aware of. I looked it up. Switzerland exported USD $73B to USA in 2024 (which represents ~ 17% of Swiss overall exports). $50B of that was pharmaceuticals, and much of that was VACCINES and other anti-serums. So, there might be a clue?
I'll be checking stock price next week for RHHBY, NVS and LONN (Roche, Novartis and Lonza)
President Trump needs to do a fireside chat every two months or so, and explain such things in some detail. BRICS is truly on the rise, and rightly or wrongly, blame the USA can easily grow legs.
I don’t see this (fireside chats) occurring this early in his Presidency. Part of Trump success is keeping friends and foes alike off balance, himself being both surprising to those he casts an eye upon, as well as malleable thereafter. Half the population dislikes him, so if he explains what he’s doing, it gives his opponents fuel to further oppose him. With all the attacks he’s undergone, IMO, he’s better off keeping them guessing (or assuming).
righting, finally, the imbalance which disfavored the US post WW2
You are not wrong in any of your comments, Dave.
I don't take the Times, but I think what is missing from the tariff reporting I have seen is a true comparison of before and after, or at least so far. If anyone knows of a good article not behind a paywall please share a link.
Yes
Maybe you could explain how imposing tariffs on things purchased by Americans helps us become independent of the Federal Reserve.
Buy American? We cannot free ourselves of the Fed any longer. Not unless the entire world agreed to abandon fiat currencies, and that’s just not happening.
As I see it, if you must buy a Japanese make of car and wish to avoid the tariffs then buy a model manufactured or assembled in the USA. Your choice!
I drive a 2019 VW currently, which I bought new and has very low miles (due to Covid). My next car will be whoever still sells a manual and mostly analog dash. That’s the way I roll.
Fit Christian mama here; after years of generally healthy eating and a generally healthy lifestyle, I started working out daily and lifting weights last year when I realized that if I wanted more babies (I do) and if I want to model strength and discipline to my kids, my body needed to be stronger, more resilient and I needed to be more disciplined myself. It has been life changing. I’m not a fitness person but I am becoming truly healthy and strong and it is amazing! And I know it’s growing because even in my community (a very unhealthy rural/suburban southern area) so many Christian and conservative moms are gathering to work out and support each other in learning healthy lifestyles. It’s so cool to be part of. MAHA!
Keeping oneself healthy is not a political decision nor a relgious one. It is just common sense so as not to be dependent upon a corrupt medical establishment which will never provide health to anyone. Self discipline doesn't need an affiliation other than with oneself.
Agree, Susanna - don’t you think it’s a response to all the negativity & filth & ugliness promoted by the left? The drugged-out zombie look? The rings through noses? Obesity promoted as «beautiful»?
We reject all that - we want to be/stay healthy & attractive - it’s pro life in the widest sense!
This is a good point - health IS pro-life in many different ways.
Thank you.
The political climate and faith can certainly influence people’s decisions toward or away from health, as we have seen clearly in the past decades and specifically the Covid/woke era. But it’s true we don’t have to wait for anyone to pursue health. However, it’s can be a lot more accessible when our public and private systems are promoting it instead of lying about it existing and promoting disease instead😊
Yes, we certainly don't have a system that encourages physical or emotional well-being. im glad you found people to work/play with that allow both. Best to you!
Love this! I think exercising and good health are totally compatible with Christianity. Your body is given to you by God and you should treat it well. Discipline and self control are excellent qualities and important to model for your children.
And as a runner (though I didn’t start until later in life) Hebrews 12:1 really resonates with me—I feel that running and training and racing are helping give my not just physical strength but mental strength too!
MAHA right back! Glad you are honing your temple and feeling great!
Have fun.
I'm curious what you've found that works for you Susanna. Do you have a program or a YouTube you follow? Do you go to a gym? I'm 47 and approaching "the transition" and hormones are whack and I've put on 15 lbs with no changes in lifestyle or diet. I eat healthily and try to walk 3 miles a day, but I know at this stage of life the muscle starts deteriorating quickly and I need to work on that. Not sure where to start.
I was deep into what may be termed “postpartum depletion” when I started - I had a lot of nagging daily health issues that mainstream med didn’t really address. I started by waking up at 6:30 every morning and going for a 15 minute walk. Then it became 20 minutes, then I added in some Pilates inspired stretching to help my body loosen up and be in less pain (I love Robin Long’s approach - you can look her up on YouTube), then as I felt better and gained energy and reset my Circadian rhythm with early morning natural light exposure and evening natural light exposure (think, be outside within the first our of daylight and when possible, around the last hour of daylight), I started wanting more resistance and added in some light weights; reps and weights have increased. In the midst of this I increased my protein intake by being conscious of my eating habits and including a high quality protein smoothie in my morning (banana, strawberry, spinach, blueberries, protein powder - a poor quality protein powder will work against you as I found out the hard way). Look up “Leptin reset” (Livehealthillie.com has a great gentle reset article - I was doing almost all of it and didn’t realize it had a name 😅). I also went gluten free, which has not been the sacrifice many think it will be. So many other options out there.
But literally, my first step was a first Step.
Walking daily has changed my life.
I started a local walking club to help encourage other busy women and mamas to get out and move too! And I’m not some sort of influencer or anything, just a moving mama! I hope you find a pathway that works to get you strong and feeling healthy 💕
I went through a similar transition in my later 50s with similar results. Good enough to win rave reviews in a cruise bikini contest at 60. Lately I have notice a few extra pounds and blame it partly on more dining out with less control over the foods. But I had also been wondering about the effects of the timing of my walks as I have moved away from the first thing in the morning walk. I think there is something to setting up your metabolism for the day. Your comment may just motivate me to get back to the early walk to see if that generates results. Thank you!
You maybe already have heard about the benefits of “low angle light” (early morning and late day sunlight) but if not it’s an interesting listen/read if you look up some videos on YouTube or mercola.com. I know I feel so much better when I get out first thing and some days last thing again 🤩☀️
AM,

Actually, Senior Shape might be a better fit for you since you’re an absolute beginner. Lauren has a variety of safe & effective weight workouts that you will enjoy 😊 Here’s her playlist:
https://youtube.com/@seniorshapefitness?si=sGCFPjqYFl5IlTKM
AM Schimberg,
Jessica Smith has some excellent workouts for beginners on her YouTube channel. Here’s an exercise forum where you can ask questions, find workout reviews and links to different types of workouts on YouTube. https://homefitness.freeforums.net/
I usually work out from 1-3 hours per day. I do yoga, strength, Pilates, barre and other types of workouts. I’ve been working out since the 80’s. It keeps my body youthful. However, just working out for 20-30 minutes a day, a few days a week will keep you in good shape.
I am in my early 40s; read somewhere - I can’t remember where everything was now - that at a certain point all the exercises we did in the past won’t be effective anymore unless we up our protein intake and start lifting. I felt like I did start to see the most physical effects of my exercising when I added these in. I’m so impressed you get in 3 miles a day! I still have littles in the home so everything I do has to be able to be done in the home (or briefly outside in the right circumstances), sometimes with them right beside me 😂 my 3 year old took the place of my weights for squats the other day!
Oh I said 3 earlier - my 2 year old is 3 this month 😂 sometimes I save my brain the transition hassle by just graduating him early 😂
I'm a mom of 5, ranging from 23 down to 8. 😊 I remember those little kiddo days though and miss it!
Mom if five here too! 2-12 right now 😍
This will help....

Soros Assisted Hillary and Obama in Russian Collusion Hoax
Newly declassified documents reveal that George Soros assisted Hillary Clinton in creating the Russian collusion hoax in an attempt to discredit Donald Trump and deceive the American public ahead of a presidential election. Special counsel John Durham’s 2023 report has been largely declassified and now reveals the link between Soros’s Open Society Foundations and the Clintons...
...This is groundbreaking corruption and a direct attack on American democracy by Obama, the Clintons, Comey, Soros, and everyone who aided them or turned a blind eye to the corruption that they knew had occurred. This is far larger than simply defamation—the Democrats backed by foreign influence (Soros) attempted to manipulate the outcome of the 2016 US Presidential Election. Their plot failed and the people prevailed. If this blatant disregard for democracy is overlooked there is a grand chance it could reoccur. The people on both sides of the aisle should be absolutely outraged that politicians and intelligence agency believe they have the right to decide on our leadership.
https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/international-news/politics/soros-assisted-hillary-and-obama-in-russian-collusion-hoax/
We all knew that; Soros has his stubby fingers in every possible place that invites societal rot. Past time to line them up and knock them down...permanently.
Ture, we do all know that about Soros, and have for decades. Recall what Soros tried to do to the Hungarian economy many years ago.
So riddle me this: Why does the Soros clan still walk free? Could it be that their evil actions benefit the "leaders" (rulers) of many, many nations?
Evil runs rampant and will always until the end of days when God sets it right. If we are upset, imagine how God feels watching this shitshow on earth. I wish we could see their just rewards but I will have to rely on God's words that vengeance is His. Heavy sigh. But yes, all these "things" called people partake in evil to help one another. Would Satan have it any other way. He too needs followers.
There are many among us that are unaware that Lucifer is the ruler of this world
… which explains why evil runs rampant
Well he has no claim in my home or at least I fight him off when needed and tell him to piss off and remind him with glee that he loses in the end. That clincher makes me smile.
Just a gentle reminder, Lori, with Jesus by your side, you do not have to fight the devil yourself
… or even have to talk to him
Why does the Soros clan still walk free? Who has indicted them? Who has the receipts to bring charges against them? We can't just jail them because we SEE they are criminals. They have to be brought up on criminal charges. Who will do it, and for what?
I didn't read the link but I agree with the lead in.
Time to seize all of Soros' assets.
Good, now can they do Adelson/Trump/Israel?
Yes indeed!
Well well... this is interesting.....
https://forbiddennews.substack.com/p/israel-has-the-epstein-blackmail
I was never a QAnon follower, but I have a friend who seems to be familiar with it. She reminds me that the prediction was always that Israel would be saved for last.
Hmmmm....
Re: Nature
"And on a bigger scale, Nature doesn’t negotiate. If we don’t self-correct, if we continue thinking we can outsmart biology, Nature will smash civilization itself and make us start over from the ruins. When a society stops reproducing (e.g., Ancient Rome), Nature doesn’t just send a memo. It pulls the plug."
I saw a post on Substack today in which someone was complaining that the default was heterosexuality instead of "anyone can love anyone." She failed to grasp that this default isn't imposed by an unjust society, but is instead a biological reality.
And yet they supposedly “believe in science” 🙄🙄🙄
This is their paradigm or belief system and all paradigms are ultimately based on a faith. This is presuppositional thinking. The philosophy of Humanism is as much based on faith as is any religion. IE, Humanism is also a religion where Man is god. "She failed to grasp..." because her worldview cannot see this reality through the lens of her humanist assumptions or presuppositions.
Has anyone else seen the report about a study done with mice where they placed a male and female mouse into an environment designed to support 1000 mice? The result of the study, according to the report, was that when the population approached the 1000 mouse mark and began running out of food that they stopped reproducing and started eating each other. The end result was that all the mice died. All of them.
… I would call that ‘nature pulling the plug’
Yup. When I was a kid, we accidentally allowed that to happen by keeping gerbils of both sexes in the same space. The population exploded fast, and one mother ate her children, and we even had a murderous male gerbil that had to be excommunicated. I was just a little kid, but it was a brutal lesson in biology. It seems like the planet is having the opposite problem now. I am especially hoping that the people that avoided the Covid injection have many babies! I am concerned about some negative genetic changes in the jabbed being passed down.
In the 1962 study, Calhoun described the behavior (during the decline of the population) as follows:
“Many [female rats] were unable to carry the pregnancy to full term or to survive delivery of their litters if they did. An even greater number, after successfully giving birth, fell short in their maternal functions. Among the males the behavior disturbances ranged from sexual deviation to cannibalism and from frenetic overactivity to a pathological withdrawal…”
We are seeing this even today, among humans.
…The plug is being pulled. (Think dinosaurs)
I had heard about this as far as supposed homosexual activity being shown (though I hesitate to put it that way because we don’t really know for sure if there is the same type of attraction/desire as with humans). Which made sense to me in a way because if they’re overpopulated, nature would have ways of remedying that.

Thank you
Oh....those people who doubted Kash....pshaww....shame on you.
You can tell he has a fire that many don't have.....but a wit to match it.
Trump chose his people very wisely this time.
The Dems screwed up big time by stealing 2020. Had Trump been allowed to take office, he NEVER would have been able to accomplish what he has......the Dems sealed their own fate because they couldn't help themselves. They only know one way forward---cheating.
When Trump allied with RFK, I saw the hope coming.
When everyone was nonstop bitching about this or that not being done.....I held steady, because you can FEEL something in the air. It's palpable. My liberal friends, though few, are VERY quiet these days...and not just quiet in response to things, quiet OVERALL. They are all stunned and don't know what to say.
I truly hope this country can come back together again. I'm 61......I'm just at a point where I can slow down and enjoy some things....I'm really hoping it doesn't all blow up.
I know the Dems won't just give up.....and things might get very ugly.
We've just been quoting their own words.
Kash was going to 'tear down' the FBI HQ his first week in office. Trump was going to relocate them to the midwest.
A half year later? Trump is investing more money into the current building, and zero big arrests have occurred. We can also throw Bongino's based quotes in the face of his inaction as reminders that the swamp claims many victims.
But maybe something is finally happening. I'd love to see it.
Let's not even get into the nothing-burger of our lame AG.
Even Kennedy has got sugar into coke and no food dyes instead of stopping the child vax schedule.
Again - just quoting their own statements is not 'nonstop bitching'.
A whole 6 months later—🤣🤣🤣!
I just wish I had accomplished a tiny bit of what I promised myself I would do in these past 6 months.
Right?? Same here! I would be thrilled with accomplishing the equivalent of what this administration has done in 6 months on my personal to-do list 😆
When a Kamala regime comes into power, they will sweep these agencies clean from the start instead of pussyfooting like Kennedy, etc. is doing now.
Again I'm just stating their own words of what they were going to do.
“When a Kamala regime comes into power, they will sweep these agencies clean from the start instead of pussyfooting…”.
You are delusional dude…the “Kamala regime” aka, democrats have been in power how many years since the turn of the century and what agencies have they “swept clean”? THEY are the ones who dirtied the agencies! Get yourself on some meds or a new pair of glasses so you can see clearly!
Just look at the last term. They put Jan 6 protesters in jail for trespassing. Years in jail. No messing around. Better believe they will move fast when they are in power. We're squandering time that is precious.
Right!?! I’ve been trying to reorganize my kitchen and pantry for over 6 months. 🥴😵💫😕
It's been less than a year.
This cabal wasn't built in a year....it was built over DECADES....and this bitching and whining isn't helping the cause.
Gee.....I guess if YOU were in there, you'd do much better?
You are definitely a glass half empty person.
Sometimes I really wonder about people like you......are you really wanting change or just shit to bitch about?
Just imagine if we had the same crew as 2017 in there....you want NOTHING done, well, they didn't allow any progress, they regressed things.....
And this crew has had some public missteps, but maybe, just maybe they are gonna get it right.
Pretty sure every single thing you ever did was done perfectly the first time, right? RIGHT?
Geez.
I like what you say, Lois, but after being on the receiving end of some personal digs, I have developed an aversion to them. I try to speak only to the things said and not to the character of the one saying them
… however, to each his own and if you feel righteous, you go girl
It can be ok to support what IS happening and be happy about it, but question their own words and speak to what is not being done -all at the same time.
I will not put Trump or his administration on a pedestal, lest they fall from the place I put them.
I will question them, their motives, their words, their actions and in-actions. Have we learned nothing in the past 5 years. That’s rhetorical. We have lived all our years not questioning. Look where that got us. Celebrities have no business being worshipped or idolized. Religious figures don’t either. Politicians certainly not. We better figure that out now.
I will celebrate what Trump and his people are doing….but I will expect a higher standard than what we have gotten in my lifetime, and I suggest we all do the same.
Trump and his team are human and capable of mistakes and wrong decisions. They should be called out on those. But they should be supported by the good they are doing as well.
Exactly!
Don't forget the 200+ Trump appointees that are still being held up by Congress!
5 years??? What about since WW2? OR further. Why haven't we learned before?
Well. I wasn’t awake during WW2 because I wasn’t alive yet. So there’s that. 🙄
I am just wondering....'burn bags'??? PAPER documents. This is not 1972 where documents were produced using a typewriter. So whose computers where these documents are out there? Did all the hard drives get destroyed? Are there no backups to a cloud? Is a paper document as the only source of information even credible in a court of law? Seems awfully convenient that they are released amidst this Epstein outcry that the administration seems bent on memory-holing. I am not necessarily swallowing the black pill. But I hope these paper documents can be vetted as authentic in such as way that will allow for prosecution.
Some top-classified documents are not stored electronically.
Good to know - main thing is that these documents hold up to scrutiny as authentic.
But electronic documents could also be manipulated.
I guess there are 6 ways from Sunday to fake stuff regardless of the medium. I was thinking that if these docs were important they'd be backed up somewhere and or on more than one computer. Unless they were all backed up to Hillary's home server?
Exactly
I would think even in today's world you would have to have paper documents. Like for courts or investigations...computers go down..everything thing of importance should have the copy to back it up.
Good point Donna.
Did someone quietly print & hide paper copies, knowing the hard drives were being destroyed?
Refer to Jeff Childers response
6 months in office.
Less than that for his appointees.
Ridiculous and immature to expect these things to be done in 6 months.
I’m so sick of the toddlers screaming to get their way.
Inaction?
You haven’t a clue.
What have you done in the last 6 months?
Again, we're simply quoting what they said they would do. We should all be keeping our politicians accountable.
How long must we wait for the child vaccine schedule to be fixed?
It seems that a slow drip of vax info going out is having an effect on parents' willingness to follow the "schedule". This is change from the bottom up. We may not eventually need to "fix" the schedule. The people may fix it themselves. For me, haven't had a shot in 11 years ❤
King fu quote: “patience, grasshopper”
… from the TV series, in case you’re younger than I
How it started: We're ending the childhood vax schedule!
How it's going: We got Coke to switch from fructose to sugar.
ALL good points BFM. Below, Sunnydaze has the right take. The POINT is this: It is up to US to hold their feet to the fire! Celebrate what is being accomplished but the BEST support for Trump & Co is for the American people to constantly hold their feet to the fire. That should be what it means to hold office.
I will also say that I do believe SOME of what is being done and said is to put things in motion that will come down the line. I do think they are prepping the masses for arrests. I don’t think they can just whip it up and do it. I wonder if some of what they said wasn’t meant for us who are awake, but those who aren’t. Prepping them inside the safe spaces they live in so they will come out when it happens. 🤷♀️ Doesn’t mean I have to like it, but I do need to be patient about it.
Trump just put in motion a digital health record order. I am 100% against it and think he went down the wrong road on this. But I have a friend who actually looked it up and said we can opt out of it. But like always we won’t know we can unless we read the fine print. It’s up to us to spread the word.
Although I will say speed IS of the essence in some of the moves they are making. Take too long and the opposition finds ways to dig in/fight back. Moving fast keeps the enemies off balance. And he did have 4 long years in the wilderness to plot his course, although I am not sure when the decision to run again came about.
Your objection to what Lois said, Florida Man, might be better received if it didn’t sound like bitching
… just saying
Like Kennedy. We really thought he'd come out of the gate with reforms.
A half a year in and still pushing extensive lineup of vaxes for babies.
It's a valid discussion. The 'wait another 2 weeks' trope is getting old.
Lois -
«They only know one way forward---cheating.»
Totally agree.
It doesn’t even seem to OCCUR to them to try & develop logical policies in order to win elections.
Kash was on Bannon and was asked do you have a hit list.
Kash responded "no, but anyone who says I do, is on it"
Classic Kash 😂
I hope this job he has dosen't kill his sense of humor.
It would mine.
The best look for libs is when their mouths are shut. Too bad we can't make it permanent. I have some suture material that would work quite well.
“the wisdom which none of the rulers of this age has understood; for if they had understood it they would not have crucified the Lord of glory;”
1 Corinthians 2:8 (NASB95)
You are right, Lois, the dems did screw up real bad
… just like their ancestors did
The Dems' 2020 failure ... some phrase about the best-laid plans of mice and men comes to mind.
My thoughts exactly!
They asked him that in a presser yesterday Jeff. Why didn't you do this in your first term. And Trump responded, because you people were attacking me constantly, as he pointed at the media personality who asked the question.
So he didn’t do the right thing for the country because the media was attacking him. That’s kinda wimpy.
Not just the media .. You know that. FBI, CIA, DOJ, Senate, house, impeachments etc. They did every thing they could to derail his first term. This is what the Russiagate doc dump Going on right now is all about.
There's a lot going on here. I'm going to focus on the obscure hidden scif room full of burn bags contain a trove of evidence documents.
I'm retired law enforcement from a large metro sheriff's department. I was tendered and accepted at a license revocation hearing before the North Carolina Real Estate Commission as an expert on agency record keeping systems. I was the evidence manager for our warehouse facilities where we stored stuff important to cases. I know how damned hard it can be to find things, both in electronic and paper records as well as the nooks and crannies. Our department, large as it was was but a fraction of the size of the FBI.
Mr. Childers' musings that an insider pointed the new director to the exact spot makes a lot of sense. The person or persons who stashed the stuff there need NOT be the same one who did the pointing out. The back story of how they wound up in the room and never were incinerated - hopefully we'll get that someday.
Patience, people, I'm getting more confident that these deep state scumbags are facing real criminal prosecutions. These massive complex conspiracy cases take a LOT of work to assemble and launch.
Discipline. Work Ethic.
Reward those. Society will flourish.
Where progressivism went wrong is believing they knew better than their grandparents.
Have a great weekend all.
I can't think of anything I'd rather do than listen to a "podcast interview between two female Times op-ed editors"...oh, wait, I forgot, I've got to wash my socks.
God’s Morning to all C&Cers! 🫶🏻
Good morning!
Jeff - with the list of ordeals they put the POTUS through, you omitted two or three:
they shot him in the face & sent other assassins after him too. 😱
I still have an awfully hard time believing that there was a deep state attempt at his life - if they wanted him dead i'm pretty sure he'd be dead. But he's the guy to usher in the biometric surveillance state.
Johnny - remember the bullet hit him. The guy behind him was killed. It was a serious, well planned attempt.
Absolute fluke that he wasn’t assassinated on live TV - just what they wanted I bet.
(Others say miracle, I’m aware).
As for the control grid - lots of worrying developments, I agree. For now, Trump’s opposing the CBDC though, which is something. Have to see how it all turns out - & hope we can stop it.
Maybe they were taking their lead from Hollywood, like the Superman movies. It would’ve been a remake of the JFK assassination, on live TV, to a worldwide audience.
…CBS was there to film it (note: it was the only Trump rally CBS attended)
God turned Donald Trumps head to save his life when they shot him.
Did God tell you that?
I saw it on television like most people did. Does God talk to you?
Do you believe everything you see on TV? If I thought God talked to me I wouldn't make statements like you did that come off as a factual statement that you cannot prove, that's all.
Johnny0, not surprised.
You must be such fun at parties, and I’m betting you have just loads of illegals as friends…..the subspecies from the ‘stupudstan’ nations with the peaceful religion that put babies in microwaves and cooked them on Oct 7.
What a miserable thing you are. Masquerading as ‘Johnny’
Ignorance is bliss. CStone's life motto.
I hope you are wrong, but I am afraid you might be right.
