Jeff, please put in a plug for Senator Ron Johnson to hold a special hearing on the WHITE FIBROUS CLOT side effect of the Covid vaccines that embalmers are STILL seeing in the veins and arteries of about 20% of their corpses in 2026! I now have the following peer-reviewed paper published in the scientific literature: https://ijirms.in/index.php/ijirms/article/view/2201

Please also promote the app Cure ID. Kennedy sent out a public service announcement that this app is for reporting stories about Lyme and other infectious diseases and finding solutions. https://x.com/seckennedy/status/2089341520142860328

I find the BEST links and value from fellow C&Cโ€™rs in the comments. C&C is arguable the worldโ€™s greatest comment section. An absolute treasure. Thank you for posting these links. They did not show up in my feed and probably wouldnโ€™t have discovered another way.

TRM's avatar

Have you checked out AlterAI (alter.systems) for medical questions?

You'll be impressed. Give a try.

FloridaTransplant's avatar

Epistemologically based AI that is truly truth seeking. Itโ€™s the only AI that will say that the c19-vax is neither safe nor effective. Better than Grok or ChatGPT, and the only AI I use for medical questions because it considers (at least) heterodox points of view instead of blind adherence to โ€œauthority.โ€

TRM's avatar

In the AI forums I'm on we all have different test suites of questions we use. AlterAI is the only one that passed at least a dozen different question sets. Nothing else it even close.

No guardrails during "Learning Mode" makes a product useful.

Margot Wooster's avatar

Wow, thank you for sharing that! My husband is having some medical problems and we had a dr visit today, and a procedure scheduled for next week. I have bookmarked the site and Will definitely be checking it out. Praise the LORD, He has been so good to us in so many ways, and this may be another โ€œGod thingโ€.

I second that! Always read the comments. Thank you everybody.

I'm just poor trailer trash on a fixed income retiree and I dont give away anything. But Johnson is worth a donation, he's the best, and humble.

I also support Judicial Watch.

Ahr Aitch's avatar

I agree. I also think he would make a far better majority leader than Thune.

William Myers's avatar

Do I still trust Kennedy??? Are you living in the Matrix or something? I think you need to stay away from corporate media for a while!

Johnny-O's avatar

A big reason I voted for Trump was because of RFK. He's been a huge disappointment.

William Myers's avatar

May I ask what you expected Kennedy to accomplish? You should write him a letter and let him know where you think he is fu**ing up. He is facing a machine with a global reach which has been entrenched for decades and controlled by the most powerful lobby on the planet. He is doing battle essentially with a religion. He cannot just slash-and-burn. Maybe he should go toe-to-toe with Catholicism next... eh? Did you see that Trump signed an executive order THIS WEEK reducing the childhood vaccine schedule and ordering better testing by the vaccine makers? Do you think Kennedy had anything to do with that or do you think Trump just pulled that out of his ass?

Johnny-O's avatar

Sorry, I'm not into doing mental gymnastics to make excuses for politicians.

RFK has the power to revoke the PREP act. Hasn't happened, and it won't happen.

I'm tired of excuses and the both ways talk. Trump is the deep state slayer 3D chess master who is going to do all these amazing things - only to very very mildly tinker around the edges. I call it out and I'm the crazy asshole. Ridiculous.

William Myers's avatar

Two things. First opinions are like assholes. Everybody has one and most of them stink. Second, in my stinky opinion I really think that you should expand the number of sources you are forming your paradigm from. It seems you have a bit of a narrow view of what is really going on. You are the only one who can do your own due diligence.

jan's avatar

I also voted for trump because of Bobby. He's a brilliant lawyer who fought against big corrupt corporations. I'll tell you where he's fucking up - pushing wearable health monitors. Sinister

Johnny-O's avatar

Agree. Wearable are a no go. I recall Catherine Austin Fitts really having a big issue with RFK for I think was for his support of a stable coin type of system. She knows he is intelligent so it was hard for her to believe his support was out of ignorance.

And he's a rabid zionist as well. Plenty of red flags, but I ignored some because he has a great history in the private sector as you pointed out. Well, I was fooled.

William Myers's avatar

Johnny-O, I think you are a bot! And a badly ill informed one at that.

Johnny-O's avatar

I"ve been commenting on C&C for years. Just because you don't agree with someone doesn't make them a bot. Grow up.

Patti's avatar

Listen to podcast Joette Calabrese she has some great information on treating tick diseases.

Johnny-O's avatar

Is this so they can suppress potential remedies? Do you still trust Kennedy?

PonyBoy's avatar

I trust Bobby Kennedy Jr implicitly, Bot.

He is the man who will uncover why 60 percent of our children have at least one chronic.

Got that Bot?

PonyBoy's avatar

The Bot distracted me.

I'm sorry I left the word "disease" out.

Chronic disease.

Phil Denter's avatar

Oh. I see. Your mistake was The Bot's fault. ๐Ÿ™„

-----

Lil Trumpster all the way.

PonyBoy's avatar

Nope. I said the Bot distracted me.

Not a Trumpster Phil.

I suppose if I am to be accurate, I am a "Kennedyster."

Johnny-O's avatar

We know you can't think for yourself My Little Pony Boy.

How's the PREP act going? Ask Bobby why it remains in place.

Why do we still have highly toxic jabs on the market?

Why are we rolling out new dangerous mRNA products that we will jab soldiers with?

I'm sure its all part of the "plan" amiright?!?!?

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice....

Anita from Tucson - Now In MI's avatar

I wouldn't go so far as to call you a bot, but I would say you are the least inspired and inspiring commenter we have here.

Johnny-O's avatar

Because I"m not a bootlicker? Quit falling for the fake left right paradigm.

Anita from Tucson - Now In MI's avatar

You spelled amiright wrong, it's amirite.

Johnny-O's avatar

Yeah, well I don't do the social media, so please forgive me that I can't talk like a proper screen zombie teenager.

PonyBoy's avatar

ETA for what Phil?

Phil Denter's avatar

When will Bobby Jr. "uncover why 60 percent of our children have at least one chronic [disease]"?

Note: We are now more than 19 months into Trump 47.

Johnny-O's avatar

And no, he won't, because it is a litany of reasons, from jabs, to pharmaceuticals, to toxins in our food system (all of which they have done little to nothing about, btw), toxins in our daily products, loopholes that allow toxins to be in products/food or disguised....the list is long. Maybe its the food coloring. What a big W from HHS, right?

PonyBoy's avatar

All "extreme left wing" talking points.

I get it.

You're a lefty.

Johnny-O's avatar

Um, that sounds like MAHA. You really are special. I didn't know that toxins in our food supply was an "extreme left wing talking point." Laughable. Bobby has talked about this for years, as have people from all walks of life and the political spectrum.

And do you really think I'm a bot, or are you just a petty name caller? If you do, why do you keep interacting with me? Are you really that starved for attention?

Proberta's avatar

"Do you still trust Kennedy?"

Hardly!

RFK Jr is LYING to the American people and telling them that measles is a FATAL disease.

And he's telling terrified parents everywhere that they should vaxxxinate their children with the autism-causing MMR vaxxine!

"The most effective way to prevent the spread of measles is the MMR vaccineโ€ - RFK Jr.

https://x.com/SecKennedy/status/1908967854394982414

Elaine Russky's avatar

I don't agree with him on that, but there are other areas in which we agree. I'm against all vaccines. But for measles it's like using a bulldozer to kill a fly. The measles, which I had as a child, is not that big a deal, in my opinion, and not worth the risk.

Proberta's avatar

I love RFK Jr's rhetoric. Sadly though, its his actions that belie him.

Especially after he replaced all those Big Pharma execs he fired, with Trump-approved Deep State pharmaceutical reps, and assured everyone that "None of these individuals will be ideological anti-vaxxers,"

https://x.com/SecKennedy/status/1932580198198964241

Elaine Russky's avatar

That's often true of RFK. He's a mixed bag. Is he better than his predecessors? I think so. I don't know what went on behind the scenes. Maybe he traded those positions for something more important.

Bard Joseph's avatar

They still talking about Lyme Disease?

What about Monkey Pox? The fear continues.

Johnny-O's avatar

Don't forget screwworm. Very disappointed to see my rep working with the USDA to put in a detection facility in AZ - which simply means we will soon have screwworm and have feds invading our farms. Yay. That prompted me to look a little more and the USDA is working with DHS on protecting us all from the screwworm.

All of this happening with savior Bobby at the helm. Same. As. It. Ever. Was.

I don't understand why these are not of more concern -- by everyone. The grisly photos are a good way to communicate the seriousness of the damage being done.

Tom Haviland's avatar

Thanks, kittynana, for your support!

Johnny-O's avatar

And it probably isn't just covid vaccines - I imagine it is mRNA in general, or is it the lipid nanos that do it? At any rate, these are still on the market with new kinds (flu) being produced. Thanks Bobby and Trump. You guys are full of sh*t.

Inisfad's avatar

The shots are optional. As you are probably aware, one can always choose to be stupid or ignorant.

Johnny-O's avatar

And shots aren't optional for everyone - many jobs require them as does the military. Continue living on the reservation inisfad.

Inisfad's avatar

There are NO jobs (or the military) that now consider covid shots/boosters as mandatory. Name ONE.

Phil Denter's avatar

Regardless, it is Trump and Kennedy's mandate to completely discontinue them, Einstein.

Proberta's avatar

For Basic Training:

Recruits receive vaccines for tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis, measles, mumps, rubella (MMR), varicella (chickenpox), polio, and meningitis.

For Deployment:

Before deploying, soldiers can receive additional vaccines of:

โ—ฆ Hepatitis A & B

โ—ฆ Typhoid

โ—ฆ Yellow Fever

โ—ฆ Rabies

โ—ฆ Anthrax (for certain occupations).

Our soldiers are vaxxed to death.

Johnny-O's avatar

Wow, where did you find this claim you present as a fact? You may be right, but one five second search brought up an article from sept of last year re healthcare facilities saying "most" no long require covid shots. Most isn't none, as you claim, but of course that could have changed.

At any rate, to Phil's point, they were supposed to be taken off the shelves. And to your and other's weak talking point about it being a "choice" - children don't get that choice and millions are still receiving it.

Inisfad's avatar

Where did you read that they were โ€˜supposed to be taken off the shelvesโ€™? Nowhere. And while children donโ€™t get that โ€˜choiceโ€™, their parents do. You think some child on his own goes into the doctor asking for a covid vax? LOL. Itโ€™s optional.

Elaine Russky's avatar

But the job IS optional. My job or my life? Easy choice.

Johnny-O's avatar

We need to get out of the slave mentality. You shouldn't have to choose in the first place because our government should not have poison on the open market to begin with

Elaine Russky's avatar

You get out of a "slave mentality," if that's what you fear, by making your own choices. You have to choose every day, don't you? Why should this be any different? Just because fentanyl is available doesn't mean I have to take it. You either make your choices, or you let someone else choose for you.

Trump Deification Syndrome is a sight to behold.

I would say to anyone: Don't blame Trump for your own bad choices.

I have twice in the last year refused prescriptions from doctors. If I'd taken them and the result was deleterious, I would have blamed myself.

Open your eyes, "divide and conquer" is precisely what this stack does. Precisely. Left v right false paradigm nonsense. You love it, as do most here.

Elaine Russky's avatar

Serious question. Why are you here?

Phil Denter's avatar

I won't speak for JO but here's my answer to your serious question:

I'm here on C&C to save souls by shining light on the truth and breaking the Trump Deification Syndrome suffered by so very many C&Cers.

Johnny-O's avatar

What is the point pontificating away on a thread where everyone agrees with me? The Trump worship is making people blind. If you swapped Trump's name for Bidens none of the crap we are talking about would pass. It's ridiculous.

Steve Stevens's avatar

They might be optional now but what about when the next psychopath gets elected?

Johnny-O's avatar

Are you a slave? No need to answer.

You mean those shots trump encouraged you all to get?

Ignorance is to keep thinking you are voting your way out of this - or that the very people who committed these crimes are going to do anything about them. Enjoy the circus and your ignorance.

kittynana's avatar

@Johnny (Again, again)- and where, exactly, was Trump getting his information? Same place we all were. Trump caught on to Fauci real quick like some of us did.

Proberta's avatar

"Trump caught on to Fauci real quick"

Are you kidding?!??

Donald Trump gave Fauci a PRESIDENTIAL COMMENDATION!

And Donald Trump is STILL LYING to the American people and telling them there's a deadly virus and that the genocidal 0WS vaxxine is "safe and effective"!

Janine Melnitz's avatar

Trump still thinks OWS was the best thing he ever didโ€ฆ

Johnny-O's avatar

Good โ€˜ol United States of Amnesia round here.

Elaine Russky's avatar

True. The majority were deceived and pressured into getting the jabs.

Inisfad's avatar

You may recall that Trump also spoke about hydroxychloroquine and other treatments, and was completely silenced by Fauci, the CDC, etc. In any event, โ€˜encouragingโ€™ which infers optional, is not a mandate, as was pushed by Biden.

Johnny-O's avatar

Excuses excuses. If the same POTUS had a "D" behind their name, you wouldn't be letting them off the hook. Trump "caught" onto Fauci yet kept him in his position. What a swamp drainer.

Trump was also getting info that wasn't straight out of big harma, but still went along with it all. Quit making excuses. I knew something was up with the covid scam in a few days. But the deep state slayer and 3D chess player "got fooled." Please.

Elaine Russky's avatar

Most of us, including Trump, do not have the expertise to second-guess pharmaceutical scientists. Others can get caught up in the slick marketing, going along with the majority, or are just gullible.

Inisfad's avatar

I guess you were busy at the time that Trump gave the authority about the government directives to Pence.

Tom Haviland's avatar

Very good point, CHop. In fact, last year I saw a TV commercial for one of the new "amyloid drugs." I never even heard the word "amyloid" before the rollout of the Covid vaccines in 2021.

Great business model for Big Pharma. Create dangerous side effect with their government-mandated Covid vaccine, then market a brand new drug to "cure" it!

James Goodrich's avatar

In a time where the left is pushing godless communism itโ€™s refreshing to see the people of the state of Louisiana push back with the Ten Commandments, the basis of American law. The Constitution and the Separation of Church and State was not meant to restrict the people, it was meant to restrict the government from imposing a religion on the people. The people have every right to put The Ten Commandments up in public schools. Itโ€™s high time we take our schools back from these godless communists! Itโ€™s time we take back our institutions!

Barbara Lee's avatar

More than hang it on a wall, it should be part of the PUBLIC SCHOOL curriculum annually. Each commandment is a tip of the ice berg for our social compact and foundation in law that every secular ethicist agrees with. All kids SHOULD be asked to explore the whys and wherefores of Thou Shalt Not Stealโ€ฆ.Thou Shalt Not Lieโ€ฆ Thou Shalt Not Killโ€ฆ etc. Age appropriate, of course, revisit these statements and deepen the moral and ethical underpinnings of what our country runs on. We might just heal the great divide and empower those who think themselves disenfranchised to get on board our community wagon.

Margot Wooster's avatar

Absolutely! And let the kids debate about it, let them ask any questions they want whether pro or con, and teach them how to think!

Barbara Lee's avatar

Excellent! The use of examples that end in discussion would be huge! Comparing and contrasting life experiences would help youth make better rational choices.

Juju's avatar

After todayโ€™s roundup of indictments, it sure appears that the Ten Commandments could have helped prevent such criminality, creating a more honest, just, and conscious society. The party who fought hardest against God and His Word being represented anywhere in our nation has the most corruption in its ranks.

Lori's avatar

Watch the muslims start putting pics up of Allah or Mohammed, whatever the F they pray to. And for fun, they will add Sharia posters.

Debbie Wagner's avatar

The difference is that Sharia posters are there for conversion and indoctrination, the 10 Commandments have historical significance to the founding of our country. Hopefully our laws wonโ€™t skip over this very significant distinction.

Ahr Aitch's avatar

islam is a government doctrine that requires religious adherence to its dicta as written in the koran and interpreted by imams. Because it is a government, it cannot coexist with any other government. Any government that tries to coexist with islam will be overturned by the religious zealotry of islamic adherents. We must ban all islam from the US. The best way to do that is to amend the constitution. No religion that posits that it should govern any of its adherents should be allowed under the freedom of religion doctrine. Others more intelligent than I am can come up with the language, but the American people deserve to be presented with this as an amendment to the constitution. Congress cannot be trusted with this decision. Nothing less will suffice to protect the nation.

Roger Beal's avatar

You can be certain those posters will be funded (with taxpayer dollars) by NGOs in Minnesota.

Lori's avatar

Exactly and in Michigan.

Margot Wooster's avatar

Pretty sure their false religion forbids images, but I get your point. I do think it hilarious that they get down on their faces and stick their butts up in the air to pray to their false god.

We should go back to our early days regarding education, too -- no government in education.

Richard Whitney's avatar

Our law is based on the English Common Law, which predates the Roman invasion and occupation of England that turned the country Christian.

I haven't noticed the Ten Commandments leading people to oppose murder and stealing.

They just relabel it "killing'' and "spoils of war", and say it's OK if the government pays you to do it.

Mrs. RW

kittynana's avatar

@Mrs.- murder is different from killing. Even God knows sometimes killing is necessary.

Richard Whitney's avatar

That was my point. It doesn't take long before people try to wriggle their way out of the commandments. So I highly doubt that posting them in schools is going to improve society in any way. As I said, it would destroy the economy.

Mrs. RW

James Goodrich's avatar

America was not founded until long after the Romans invaded England. The founding fathers were historians and studied Rome. Here are some quotes from are founding fathers who were greatly influenced by Jesus and the Ten Commandments. America is a Christian Nation!

There are many reasons why I have faith as a Christian. One powerful reason is that afterJesus was crucified the closest people to him, the Apostles, who witnessed most all or at least the majority of what He did and what He went through, including his resurrection, went on to spread the word of Jesus even knowing they would be persecuted. It is understood that all of them suffering horrific executions and or certainly extreme hardships which showed their undying loyalty to Jesus. So why would they have put themselves through this if they themselves did not believe what they saw and what they heard with their own eyes and ears?

Many question the American founders belief in God and in Jesus. I wanted to post some shortened writings of just a few of the major founders to show their faith and how this country is based in Christian beliefs.

Letโ€™s start with,

George Washington;

โ€œYou do well to wish to learn our arts and ways of life, and above all, the religion of Jesus Christ. These will make you a greater and happier people than you are.

While we are zealously performing the duties of good citizens and soldiers, we certainly ought not to be inattentive to the higher duties of religion. To the distinguished character of Patriot, it should be our highest glory to add the more distinguished character of Christian.

The blessing and protection of Heaven are at all times necessary but especially so in times of public distress and danger. The General hopes and trusts that every officer and man will endeavor to live and act as becomes a Christian soldier, defending the dearest rights and liberties of his countryโ€.

Thomas Jefferson;

The doctrines of Jesus are simple, and tend all to the happiness of man.

The practice of morality being necessary for the well being of society, He [God] has taken care to impress its precepts so indelibly on our hearts that they shall not be effaced by the subtleties of our brain. We all agree in the obligation of the moral principles of Jesus and nowhere will they be found delivered in greater purity than in His discourses.64

I am a Christian in the only sense in which He wished anyone to be: sincerely attached to His doctrines in preference to all others

John Adamโ€™s;

The general principles on which the fathers achieved independence were the general principles of Christianity. I will avow that I then believed, and now believe, that those general principles of Christianity are as eternal and immutable as the existence and attributes of God.

Without religion, this world would be something not fit to be mentioned in polite company: I mean hell.

The Christian religion is, above all the religions that ever prevailed or existed in ancient or modern times, the religion of wisdom, virtue, equity and humanity.

Suppose a nation in some distant region should take the Bible for their only law book and every member should regulate his conduct by the precepts there exhibited. . . . What a Eutopia โ€“ what a Paradise would this region be!

John Quincy Adams;

My hopes of a future life are all founded upon the Gospel of Christ and I cannot cavil or quibble away [evade or object to]. . . . the whole tenor of His conduct by which He sometimes positively asserted and at others countenances [permits] His disciples in asserting that He was God.

The hope of a Christian is inseparable from his faith. Whoever believes in the Divine inspiration of the Holy Scriptures must hope that the religion of Jesus shall prevail throughout the earth. Never since the foundation of the world have the prospects of mankind been more encouraging to that hope than they appear to be at the present time. And may the associated distribution of the Bible proceed and prosper till the Lord shall have made โ€œbare His holy arm in the eyes of all the nations, and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our Godโ€ [Isaiah 52:10].

Samuel Adams

I . . . [rely] upon the merits of Jesus Christ for a pardon of all my sins.

The name of the Lord (says the Scripture) is a strong tower; thither the righteous flee and are safe [Proverbs 18:10]. Let us secure His favor and He will lead us through the journey of this life and at length receive us to a better

I conceive we cannot better express ourselves than by humbly supplicating the Supreme Ruler of the world . . . that the confusions that are and have been among the nations may be overruled by the promoting and speedily bringing in the holy and happy period when the kingdoms of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ may be everywhere established, and the people willingly bow to the scepter of Him who is the Prince of Peace.

Benjamin Franklin;

As to Jesus of Nazareth, my opinion of whom you particularly desire, I think the system of morals and His religion as He left them to us, the best the world ever saw or is likely to see.

The body of Benjamin Franklin, printer, like the cover of an old book, its contents torn out and stripped of its lettering and guilding, lies here, food for worms. Yet the work itself shall not be lost; for it will, as he believed, appear once more in a new and more beatiful edition, corrected and amended by the Author. (FRANKLINโ€™S EULOGY THAT HE WROTE FOR HIMSELF)

Alexander Hamilton;

Following his duel with Aaron Burr, in those final twenty four hours while life still remained in him, Hamilton called for two ministers, the Rev. J. M. Mason and the Rev. Benjamin Moore, to pray with him and administer Communion to him. Each of those two ministers reported what transpired. The Rev. Mason recounted:

(General Hamilton said] โ€œI went to the field determined not to take his life.โ€ He repeated his disavowal of all intention to hurt Mr. Burr; the anguish of his mind in recollecting what had passed; and his humble hope of forgiveness from his God. I recurred to the topic of the Divine compassion; the freedom of pardon in the Redeemer Jesus to perishing sinners. โ€œThat grace, my dear General, which brings salvation, is rich, richโ€ โ€“ โ€œYes,โ€ interrupted he, โ€œit is rich grace.โ€ โ€œAnd on that grace,โ€ continued I, โ€œa sinner has the highest encouragement to repose his confidence, because it is tendered to him upon the surest foundation; the Scripยฌture testifying that we have redemption through the blood of Jesus, the forgiveness of sins according to the richness of His grace.โ€ Here the General, letting go my hand, which he had held from the moment I sat down at his bed side, clasped his hands together, and, looking up towards Heaven, said, with emphasis, โ€œI have a tender reliance on the mercy of the Alยฌmighty, through the merits of the Lord Jesus Christ.โ€

John Hancock;

Sensible of the importance of Christian piety and virtue to the order and happiness of a state, I cannot but earnestly commend to you every measure for their support and encouragement.

He called on the entire state to pray โ€œthat universal happiness may be established in the world [and] that all may bow to the scepter of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the whole earth be filled with His glory.โ€

Patrick Henry;

Being a Christianโ€ฆ is a character which I prize far above all this world has or can boast.

The Bibleโ€ฆ is a book worth more than all the other books that were ever printed.

Righteousness alone can exalt [America] as a nationโ€ฆWhoever thou art, remember this; and in thy sphere practice virtue thyself, and encourage it in others.

The great pillars of all government and of social life [are] virtue, morality, and religion. This is the armor, my friend, and this alone, that renders us invincible.

This is all the inheritance I can give to my dear family. The religion of Christ can give them one which will make them rich indeed.

Francis Scott Key;

Being a Christianโ€ฆ is a character which I prize far above all this world has or can boast.

The Bibleโ€ฆ is a book worth more than all the other books that were ever printed.

Righteousness alone can exalt [America] as a nationโ€ฆWhoever thou art, remember this; and in thy sphere practice virtue thyself, and encourage it in others.

The great pillars of all government and of social life [are] virtue, morality, and religion. This is the armor, my friend, and this alone, that renders us invincible.

Clearly from someone who doesn't follow the 10 Commandments. How can you possibly say that if a child reads them, that it may not save them from committing horrible acts?

Please read them and tell me where they are in error or how it would not help a child to know them well especially in a learning environment:

I am the LORD your God; you shall not have strange gods before me.

You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain.

Remember to keep holy the LORDโ€™s Day.

Honor your father and mother.

You shall not kill.

You shall not commit adultery.

You shall not steal.

You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.

You shall not covet your neighborโ€™s wife.

You shall not covet your neighborโ€™s goods.

We might want to clean up the order of the Ten Commandments. I had to memorize them in order to be confirmed in the Lutheran church. Ours read as Dan stated them, but Jeffโ€™s had a different order. I have seen this a few times in different Christian churches. While not a huge thing, the 4th Commandment, โ€œHonor they father and motherโ€, will always be ingrained in my brain.

The commandments are really broken down into two parts. The first commandments are about our relationship with God, the respect and awe owed Him. The second half is our relationship with our fellow humans; the respect we must have for one another.

Dave aka Geezermann's avatar

Yes, they can be summarized as, first to love Yahweh your Elohim with all you heart, mind and strength, and second, to love your neighbor as yourself. That is what the Messiah told the young man in Mark 12: 28-31 who asked him what the greatest commandment was. It is a restatement of the Shemah from Deut. 6: 4-5.

I didn't realize that some learned the commandments in a different order. If one reads them from the tenth upward, the fourth is to remember the Sabbath to keep it holy.

kittynana's avatar

@Dan- First- it's 'Thou shalt not murder'. There's a difference.

Second- kids need help interpreting things. False witness. Covet. Those words need explaining. Anyone can read something but comprehension is key.

Wriggling Out has been of the Fav Ten has been a cottage industry ever since the commandments were first published in stone. And Wriggling Out, for sure, has been greatly accelerated by over the top institutionalized wickedness of the system of corporate governance which has displaced government as once understood.

I hardly say that English Law existed before the Romans invaded what they came to call the province of Britannia. This is an impossibility as there were no English people nor an English language of a semblance to that which has been spoken for the last few hundreds of years. Tribalism and tribalย rule was the habit of law, both Celtic and Germanic influenced depending circumstances.

The rise of what came to be called English Law is usually attributed to Alfred the Great who instituted the Doom Book, or Book of Dooms circum 893 AD. Alfred was a great reader, uncommon of kings back then, and he drew heavily on synod and Scriptural law. And there is lots of material available on this shouldย anyone be interested,ย and it's a fascinatingย field for study.

Sure posting stuff does not automatically change the world, but shifts can be important, and great movements in history like the great Protestant Reformation began with seeding at least a hundred to a hundred and fifty years in advance of Luther tacking up another certain posting on a certain cathedral door.

Personally, I would never out of hand belittle the posting of information, because who knows where things may go or lead? That more elite types in certain states think that a return to something more substantive than Simon Says Law is in itself noteworthy.

Dan (100% All in MAGA)'s avatar

If you haven't noticed, it is because you are not looking! I see people following them everywhere, and I also see those who don't.

You have a very jaded view on this - its a massively broad statement to say that our economy runs on greed, lust, and envy. If that is evenly partially so, it is because many people decide not to follow the Ten, instead of following them. I think I would say our economy gives everyone the opportunity to be all they can be, good and bad, and of course God gave all of us free will. Many, many people do amazingly well while following the 10. Those that don't? Well, they can't take it with them and they will be judged according to what they did. Many would do well to remember that.

Are you also denying that God gave us the Constitution of the USA and the Bill of Rights? Because many decide to ignore or undermine it does not mean it is not the greatest social contract in the history of humanity (and relies in large part on Christian values including the 10), only that evil exists in every domain and some of us look the other way instead of doing the right thing.

An example: Jeff writes about my corrupt, unelected, unconstitutional governor Katie Hobbs being "investigated" but didn't mention the investigation is by her good friend and election theft co-conspirator Kris Mayes. Now, that's a joke, she will be found to be as clean, white, and pure as the driven snow. Never forget, they stole the 2020 election, there is evidence which is clean and clear, yet because they stole power and because they and others like them created the corrupt judiciary they then used to ignore legitimate challenges which would have proven the theft, they walk free and in fact, having stolen it and gotten away with it, are running for re-election. None of this even touches on the huge mexican cartel mortgage fraud scam they are all involved in, in damn near every city and town in Maricopa and Pima counties.

If everyone followed the 10 none of the above would exist.

Lisa Ricketts's avatar

Exactly! Those who hold public office should be held to a higher standard and investigated with a microscope and tweezers, because they use public tax money. Private industry and small business enter into a contract with private purchasers using private, not public money.

Excellent, Lisa! The 10 Commandments should be mandatory and posted in every public office no matter how big or small!

Richard Whitney's avatar

If it wasn't for coveting goods, people wouldn't constantly buy a bunch of junk. If people didn't constantly buy junk, the economy would fail.

Advertising uses lust and envy to sell product.

Commerce is open 24/7, constantly trying to get people to buy, buy, buy.

That wasn't a thing back in the Ten Commandments day, but it is now.

So obviously, we are not following the Ten Commandments, and hanging them in schools isn't going to do a thing to change the Buy/Sell economy.

And I'm willing to bet that most of you wouldn't want it to.

Mrs. RW

Dan (100% All in MAGA)'s avatar

You probably do not follow the 10 Commandments but that doesn't mean me and others do not follow it and actually feel very good about following these basic laws of life.

To say that commerce is anti-10 Commandments is really nefarious and actually silly. You may want to change that to some dishonest people in commerce (those who advertise lust and envy, etc) who may not follow the 10C.

To say there was no commerce back in the 10 Commandments day is also silly as there surely were people buying and selling everything imaginable to the point Jesus had to turn their tables over in disgust.

Back in the 10 Commandments day? What the hell does that mean? We still live in the 10 Commandments day, no more and no less than at any other time except that people like you want to ignore them, prevent children from seeing them. There were people like you at every other time too.

You'd lose your bet, unless you bet in a blue city/state where so many couldn't give a crap about following anything which might limit their obnoxious, immoral inhumane behavior - like the murder of unborn precious human babies.

Your basic argument, that putting the 10C in schools will not make a difference is unfounded and lacks even a modicum of evidence. Anything that teaches children morals and clean living is a good thing - even if you don't think so.

Im guessing you are a-ok with grooming and all the LGBTQ crap which permeates school rooms. Do you think the rotten people who put that crap up, and force it on children, dont know it makes a difference?

"Judeo" Christian?

"Merchants have no country. The mere spot they stand on does not constitute so strong an attachment as that from which they draw their gains. In every country and in every age, the priest has been hostile to liberty. He is always in alliance with the despot, abetting his abuses in return for protection to his own. It is easier to acquire them, and to effect this, they have perverted the best religion ever preached to man into mystery and jargon, unintelligible to all mankind, and therefore the safer engine for their purposes. With the lawyers it is a new thing. They have, in the mother country, been generally the primest supporters of the free principles of their constitution. But there, too, they have changed."

I picked up on that too, Judeo-Christian.

There is no such thing as a hyphenated Christian. And simply said, the hyphenation is simply more word trickery to separate Christians from a proper understanding of Christianity and as to where their true allegiance should lie. For our enemies, the trick works well because most of the clergy and flock of our time are way too under-educated the see the use of the device for what it is.

The Reformation Era Protestants came up with the Five Solas which tells us where our focus out to be so as to avoid idolatry and derailment. And nowhere, except on the lips of dolts, do I see a Sola Judeo-Christian, or any other such sly cognitive blending.

To paraphrase John Witherspoon ... 'only Christian or not at all.' And that is by tradition.

Dave aka Geezermann's avatar

I have always understood it to mean that our nation was based on and came about by the Biblical faith of our founding fathers, all of whom are descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and who share that faith that began with the original Israelites, through whom the Messiah was born, He being Jewish. To that extent the Bible is most certainly "Judeo". Even the books of the New Testament were first written in Hebrew by the Jewish Apostles, including Paul.

Yahweh gave Moses the Ten Commandments, and all the rest of the laws and ordinances, for his followers to keep and live by forever. That is clearly stated many times - "forever throughout all your generations". That includes now.

daverkb's avatar

To your last paragraph, God gave Moses the Ten Commandments and it may be said of this that the Ten Commandments are the perfect distillation of Godโ€™s Righteous Law Order. And it may be added that the Ten Commandments are how one is to discern right from wrong. As such, the Ten Commandments are the guide as to how we are to love the neighbor, the implication of this being that loving thy neighbor is qualified, and not an unconditional open-ended affair as some worldly corrupting types would like to have it.

Your first paragraph actually reveals some of the elements integral to and without which the Hyphenated Christian Deception cannot possibly be performed. I would ask you to conduct your own study in detail of the origins of the word โ€˜Jewโ€™ and of how the Old Testament Ten Tribes self-identified. There is a lot of material available regarding this, and from all manner of slanting. I leave this to you. For my part, I demur at being sucked into the Debunking Business which is mostly a foolโ€™s mission. I rather assert a Christian viewpoint which most people for most of Christendom well-understood. That is ... before the Snakes infiltrated the Western World churches with deception heretical and ripped them to shreds.

The are Five Solas from the Reformation Era articulated. Upon the Five Sola the beating heart of Christian Faith rests. Of these, the Fourth Sola is Sola Christus, only Christ โ€ฆ or alternatively, โ€˜Christ aloneโ€™. The Fifth Sola is Soli Deo Gloria โ€ฆ โ€˜to the glory of God aloneโ€™. Nowhere in Reformation Era literature, or elsewhere since, do we see Sola Judeo-Christus or Soli Judeo-Deo Gloria. Also, nowhere in the various Confessions of Faith do we see such hyphenated nonsense.

The Good News is that people are beginning to see through the various ruses promulgated by those behind secular world self-interest and/or banking agendas which are of anti-Christian character, and moreover ... are the calculated ruination of our lives. This being the case, people have begun to reject Judeo-Christian Deception nonsense and are now beginning to question the Zionist-Christian promotion. That is people are beginning to understand that the divided house cannot stand and they are beginning to shed themselves of double mindedness.

Politico Phil's avatar

As the Second Person of the Trinity, Jesus is the Word Incarnate, the Word made flesh and the Messiah looked forward to by the faithful of the Old Testament. This was the true religion of the Tribes of Israel of the OT. There was no "Judeo", only the belief in God's promise of the Messiah to come. In that sense, you could call the OT believers Messiah-ians which is identical to what is meant by Christ-ians today except for their placement in the time line of history, before and after the Word of God came in the flesh, the promised Messiah.

Jesus affirmed the Prophets and the Law of God but when he came to His own, He was rejected by the religious leaders of Jerusalem. But the people recognized Jesus as their Messiah and when He came to Jerusalem for the Passover Feast riding on a donkey, the people took branches of palm trees and hailed Him as "The King of Israel." These are those who after His ascension would be called Christians. As is today, the faith had been perverted by the religious leaders with false doctrines and He was a threat to their control. "...The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, โ€œYou see that you are accomplishing nothing. Look, the world has gone after Him!โ€John 12:19. And immediately after His triumphal entry into Jerusalem, King Jesus went straight to His Temple and cleansed it of the false practices, Matt 21:12-16. The Judaism of today is the descendant of the false religion that confronted Jesus when He came to his own. There is no such thing as Judeo-Christian.

"Judeo-Christian" is a psyops that has been operating for over 2000 years. It's offspring, "Zionist-Christian", has been corrupting American churches for nearly 200 years. Many believers are now beginning to see this for what it is. Dave gave you good suggestions where to look for more. Wise advice. Though every man be a liar, let God be true. "Christ alone."

It is interesting that you mention the Ten Commandments and school prayer. I was born a few years before you - 1963. In third grade, we lived on the Millington NAS outside of Memphis, TN. In the summer before my third-grade year, the elementary school caught fire - every child's dream, right? No, they sent us to other community schools, off of base. I was sent to a predominantly black elementary school. This school had the Ten Commandments on the wall, we prayed every day before lunch, and the principal read a bible verse every morning during the daily announcements. We also got seconds for lunch, and the black vice principal took 30 minutes out of his day three times a week to work with three of us on advanced math. It was a great school - falling apart, but a great school. The thing I remember most was the prayer and how much those teachers cared about us.

Child Protective Services in California is in the business taking children from their parents, then putting them up for adoption and sometimes those kids end up on the streets in the sex businessโ€”child trafficking by the people that are suppose to protect children. The moral of the story is that no matter what is going on that is dysfunctional in a family, never call child protective services. One case I am entirely familiar withโ€”drug addict (my former son-in-law) is narcing out and not taking his daughter to school, not feeding her breakfast, etc. etc. His girlfriend was doing a lot but then they broke up and she decided to report him to child protective service. Mistake. Itโ€™s better to live in a hovel with mice running over the bed, not getting your kid to school, and dressing her in unlaundered clothes so she is pariah. All better, much better than ending up on the streets. California government does not care about children at all. And itโ€™s not a secret. Watch theyโ€™ll elect other criminals for office.

Leaving a loaded hand gun around children is very dangerous if they haven't been taught gun safety.

If we're going to bitch about America's educational system we need to place the blame on who actually controls America's educational system, Rockfeller. The Bloodlines. The 13 bloodlines of the Order Of The lluminati that run the World.

The Rockfeller family controls the educational system in America.

A study in the late 1800s showed that children who were deprived of right-brain activating subjects in their school curriculum, like music, art, philosophy, vocabulary, poetry, debate, etc, were less capable of Critical Thinking (critical thinking = 'when you question an answer until you are satisfied).

By quietly removing right-brain activating subjects from our children's education, Rockfeller has produced a nation of non critical-thinking, non questioning labor.

American children rank 29th in the World for intelligence. That was done deliberately.

I only got a few paragraphs into today's Coffee and Covid when I saw the need for a comment. Today, as never before in my 74 years there is more widespread conscienceless fraud by politicians (and others tasked to provide social services) guarding the public money than ever before. Included in those paragraphs was mention of The Ten Commandments going back into schools. I graduated high school in 1969 and there was a posting of the Commandments, a pledge of allegiance to the flag and the Lord's Prayer included in my school day. I feel that the removal of these things during a child's formative years has contributed to this epidemic of fraud and embezzlement that is hurting our country. I also believe that the removal of these vital in-school character building methods was a PLANNED project by those who would want to destroy The United States of America... the British Empire in league with a hand full of ultra rich family empires ( Rothchilds, Carneiges, Rockefellers, Mellons, Wharbergs and a few others.

He was arrested and charged with armed robbery but the judge said "There is no evidence against this man" and dismissed the case. So they had a second trial, with a different judge, and Fritz Springmeirr did 8 years in prison for a crime the didn't commit.

Here are 13 of the 13 and their names:

*Thank you Fritz. Much respect.

Thank you for that information. I have been sure for many years that there was some sort of " club" made up of elites who are pretty much running this whole planet. There is a short documentary type film on YouTube if it's still exists. It is called Monopoly: who owns the world? It falls right in with that paradigm.a

We all deserve the pop of confetti on occasion when we happen to get here first. Itโ€™s a feat for sure. Lol ๐ŸŽ‰โ˜บ๏ธ

As an Arizonan, I hope Katie Hobb's corruption gets outed before her "reelection." Fraud, including election fraud is ripe here. But I don't think her buddy Kris Mayes is going to be the one to do it.

Also, our local director of the Prescott Area Habitat for Humanity was just found guilty of embezzling nearly a million and sentenced to 62.5 years in prison (she's 62 years old, so a life sentence.)

I wish my neighbors who watch only CNN and read the NYT would ever hear about these cases. But it will probably be โ€œTrump persecutes Mississippi fatherโ€ or some other nonsense.

Things are tough when the other side owns 95% of the media.

This is what Iโ€™ve been saying. Until THAT changesโ€ฆ.the country stays divided and the braindead continue to be braindead. There is not true awakening until the media is no longer owned.

"the other side..."

There is only one side, pretending to be two.

Yes I have a good friend that I have known since high school. He is well educated and my same age 74 years. He reads the New York times The Washington Post and watch the CNN exclusively. During the plandemic I could not come within 50 ft of him without a mask, he took both shots and all the boosters and in his world anybody who doesn't believe every word corporate media says, has some sort of a mental problem. Go figure.

Darn Jeff. My husband and I were hoping you might mention / summarize the 2nd A 'win' regarding suppressors.

Cover it on Tuesday, maybe?? ๐Ÿ™ ๐Ÿ˜Š

I often turn to my hubby when watching Fox News and say, โ€œJeff reported that yesterdayโ€. But this one I heard first on Fox. Rare occurrence really. LOL I think someone on Fox News reads Jeff. Hee hee
