AG Pam Bondi and three top Pentagon generals transition into private life; ActBlue's lawyers transition from counsel to witnesses; major shifts underway; it's Good Friday and things are moving fast.
When the sixth hour came, darkness fell over the whole land until the ninth hour. At the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?” which is translated, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?” When some of the bystanders heard it, they began saying, “Behold, He is calling for Elijah.” Someone ran and filled a sponge with sour wine, put it on a reed, and gave Him a drink, saying, “Let us see whether Elijah will come to take Him down.” And Jesus uttered a loud cry, and breathed His last. And the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. When the centurion, who was standing right in front of Him, saw the way He breathed His last, he said, “Truly this man was the Son of God!”
— Mark 15:33-39 NAS95
✝️✝️✝️
He could have summoned legions of angels. He could have destroyed His captors. He could have said no to taking our sin upon Himself. Yet He chose mercy. Hallelujah.
I had the privilege of meeting him once while waiting in line for one of his concerts at Calvary Chapel in San Diego and he came out to greet all of us beforehand. After the concert, he requested that there be no applause but that we all just file out in a prayerful manner, focused on the Lord. God surely used the man for His glory.
Just imagine - we ransomed souls will ALL BE SINGING these songs and praises to our Creator for eternity - our finite minds cannot fully grasp the EXULTANT JOY we will know on the REAL SIDE of life!
I saw a movie yesterday called "A Great Awakening" that was A-MAZING, for the message of faith in Jesus Chris, as well as the intersection with America's constitutional convention of 1789. Here's my movie review about it. (it wasn't even on the marquis at the theater!! It opens officially today.
"A Great Awakening" is a reference to a revivalist period that existed just prior to the founding of America. George Whitefield (pronounced "Whitfield") is the most famous of the preachers of this revivalist movement, and the film interweaves the life of this powerful and charismatic preacher with that of Benjamin Franklin, one of the most recognizable and well known founders of this country.
This film is beautifully made and follows the lives of both men, showing their backgrounds as children, which went on to shape their lives - both fighting against being preachers, with one becoming the most famous of the revivalist era, and the other instead becoming a man who writes the words, not preaching the word.
Benjamin Franklin was well known throughout America as well as in Europe for his discovery of electricity, but he was also a pragmatist and sought to highlight the common man, taking great pleasure at tweaking the noses of "the elitists" at the time in his newspaper through pseudonyms such as "Obadiah Plainman", "Tom Trueman", "Sirus Dogood" and more. As George arrives on America's shores, he lands in Philadelphia - the largest city in America at that time, intent on spreading the words and gospel of Jesus Christ. Ben, seeing an opportunity for greater wealth by printing Whitefield's sermons, quickly agrees to publish them (45 of his weekly "Pennsylvania Gazette" issues had stories of Whitefield, with 8 of them having the front page covered with Whitefield's sermons).
The developing fascination by Benjamin Franklin of Whitefield is humorously written in his autobiography as such: "I happened soon after to attend one of his sermons, in the course of which I perceived he intended to finish with a collection, and I silently resolved he should get nothing from me. I had in my pocket a handful of copper money, three or four silver dollars, and five pistoles in gold. As he proceeded I began to soften, and concluded to give the coppers. Another stroke of his oratory made me ashamed of that, and determined me to give the silver; and he finished so admirably, that I emptied my pocket wholly into the collector's dish, gold and all."
The film interweaves their life stories in a beautiful fashion, maintaining the tension between them, of Whitefield's effort to convert Ben, and Ben reverting to facts, not faith, for his source of truth.
The film begins and ends with the conflict of competing political interests of the Continental Congress, where we are introduced to raucous debate, and led by General George Washington, who sits upon a chair emblazoned with a sun, symbolically and literally used in the film as a metaphor for a rising or falling nation, and for which Benjamin Franklin had famous quotes about. George Washington has important parts in this film which are powerfully delivered, and reflecting the perilous position of a founding nation embarking on a new experiment in self governance, while powerful nations seek to take advantage of the fledgling nation's inner conflicts.
The influence of George Whitefield upon Ben is portrayed beautifully in Ben Franklin's famous speech about the need to call upon a provident creator to guide the assembly towards a resolution. For the sake of time, some of the context following that speech is preserved, but infers upon what is to follow - a period of days in which the men worship together before reconvening and ultimately ratifying a new Constitution of the United States.
I admit that I found tears flowing from my eyes during the sermons by George Whitefield, with his oratory skills being demonstrated and carried by a spirit, as well as when Benjamin Franklin pleaded for assistance from above for the establishment of this nation. The symbolic drawing aside of the curtains to reveal the light which was being sought prefaced Ben's speech beautifully.
For those who are familiar with George Washington's miraculous deliveries from harm and his lifelong faith in God, you realize the gravity of George Washington's words to Ben Franklin regarding Valley Forge being what he thought as the worst darkness of the country, as desperate and scantily clothed men fought sought to survive the winter of 1775. But to hear his continued reference to an even darker time being in the Continental Congress, you begin to get a sense of just how perilous both times were in our nation's history. One can't help but see the hand of providence in our nation's founding, and wonder about the current state of this country, it's leaders and state of affairs. Despite what the media portrays, the world sees us as a beacon of light and leading the fight against a global tyranny that seeks to enslave us all. There IS a great awakening, and leaders are being overthrown as destructive policies and stark enforcement of tyrannical laws are stirring the people to action.
It was faith that helped unite our country, and it will take faith to bring our country back from the brink of destruction which we were so close to in recent years.
Indeed, this movie hearkens us to a NEW "Great Awakening", of which WE are a part of.
This is a BEAUTIFUL movie that I encourage everyone to watch, and is a VERY fitting movie to celebrate the 250th anniversary of our nation's founding, and a remembrance of the importance of Jesus Christ for all of us in our lives and in our nation.
I saw that movie at a "pre screening" last Sunday with my bestie, Lenna. I live in Lancaster, PA area and the production, direction and many of the actors hail from that blessed city. SIGHT & SOUND PRODUCTIONS is a division of SIGHT & SOUND THEATRE - I welcome one and all of you to visit us in Amish country and go to one of their Biblical productions. TRUE TO THE WORD all of them and they always end a play with a "altar call" to come to the front of the theatre to accept Yeshua as Savior and Lord of your life!
I'd love to go back there. A few years back, a local researcher there found that my ancestral family had a farm at the location of the airport and discovered graves there of some family members. They received permission to dig up a grave stone that was visible a few feet below the ground, seen via a gopher hole. That gravestone provided a most welcome piece of research that had eluded me for 40+ years. I told the researcher (when she disclosed this to me) that she was better than Santa Claus and I wept for what she had done for me. I believe since then that the airport has reinterred those graves as they were expanding parts of the airport.
Your Sight and Sound theater is beautiful! I bet the experience there is amazing!
Kudos again to those folks, for the solid storytelling and amazing cinematography of the movie. I LOVED the adherence to facts in the story, and I pulled out my copy of Walter Isaacson's Benjamin Franklin biography to read further on Benjamin and George's relationship and which provided the quote used in the review above.
I also have a DNA relationship to one of Benjamin Franklin's printing partners (Hugh Meredith) who's family provided the money to get it started, but who subsequently left due to his drinking and overall disinterest in the printing trade. Benjamin Franklin continued to write of Hugh's adventures to North Carolina, where he described the land there. He likely had a relationship down there, as I've seen a different surname "Pugh" associated with the Y-DNA test (often called the surname test, as it follows the male line.) It was my sister's observation of Hugh in the book and her reaching out to me that introduced me more fully to Benjamin Franklin. A retired professor who I tracked down from a very old post online told me that Pugh and Meredith families were often closely linked together - both being prominent and physically located near one another.
Benjamin Franklin was an interesting and flawed man - touched on very briefly in the film with a scene in a theater, where he is accompanied by a younger woman - one of many, but he adored one above the rest and maintained a flirtatious relationship with her while his wife remained at home across the ocean.
Yes..Sight & Sound strives to be TRUE to character of whomever they are portraying on both stage and screen - it's one of their aims and objectives that I treasure the most!!
NOAH was playing last year and I had seen the original NOAH production at the "smaller" Sight & Sound Theater back in 1996....the second production was held almost THIRTY YEARS later - 2025. Anyway...the first production, my husband invited my youngest son and his betrothed to accompany us to see NOAH and, after the play ended and upon exiting the theatre--guess what we saw in the sky--A DOUBLE RAINBOW--it was truly a "magical moment" - YAHWEH blessed us with that "affirmation" of his ETERNAL PROMISE never to destroy earth and its inhabitants via FLOOD...next time--it will be with FIRE!!!
I wonder more and more if the fire isn't going to be the truth being shown to everyone that consumes the evil people and reduces them to stubble. I also marvel that the weather modification that is happening (and causing rebounding heat, excessive storms and calamaties worldwide) mirrors what Revelations predicts. In many ways, we're bringing this on ourselves.
Quick question... will "A Great Awakening" eventually end up on DVD/Blu Ray? This is one I definitely want to own! I'd give copies as gifts to others, but I'm probably old school in still having a DVD/Blu Ray player, where others like to stream stuff.
The British Empire moved to create their own religion called Transcendentalism. Christ was on the chopping block throughout history by the Freemasons. Remember Emerson and Thoreau?
Edgar Allen Poe began writing about it when murdered.
Founding Fathers were Deists.
Christ never mentioned.
Matthew Ehret and his wife have a great podcast on Poe.
Good Friday can be summarized in one word: Tetelestai! If it finished. Paid in full. The body is laid in a borrowed tomb that will soon be empty. And that — is the greatest news — EVER. It saved this wretched soul from eternal separation from God.
Hallelujah! The veil of the temple torn from top to bottom is so significant. There is no more need for God’s people to offer ritual sacrifices. Jesus paid it all.
That's a sure indication that Yeshua's sacrifical death gave all those who accept this precious gift DIRECT ACCESS to the Holy Father God THROUGH Yeshua. There is NO OTHER PRIEST we need or must 'confess' to other than the Only Begotten Son of Jehovah God. Earthly 'priests' are totally superfluous.....we can go BOLDLY to the Throne of Grace on which Yeshua is seated at the RIGHT HAND of Father God.
John 17:17–19 gives us what we might describe as the theology of ordination, as Jesus consecrates the apostles in 17:17 (consecration in Christ the truth), sends them on mission in 17:18, and in 17:19, declares their consecration springs from his own consecration to the Father. Jesus commanding the apostles to “do this in memory of me” during the Last Supper (Luke 22:19) is the Synoptic account of the apostles receiving their priesthood from Jesus. In John 20, Jesus gives his apostles the power to forgive sins after bestowing the Holy Spirit upon them. During Jesus’ last appearance risen from the dead, he commissioned the apostles to minister in his name to the whole world. The Twelve were reconstituted again before the revelation of the Church to the world at Pentecost, and following Pentecost, they continued Jesus’ ministry: what Jesus began to do during his earthly ministry, he continues to do through the apostles after Pentecost.
It is very hard for me to read the OT Margot bc of all the animals being slain, so young and so many. In the Bible (I cannot recall the book and verse, God says he does not prefer animal sacrifice and I smiled and thanked God when I read that.) Blessed Easter to you Margot, He is Risen.
I’ve always thought that God had to turn away for the sacrifice to complete. Had he stayed looking upon Jesus He might have been moved to save Him, disrupting the sacrifice. I remember when my son at age 7 injured his toe when a McDonald’s bathroom door was whisked open from the other side. In the ER they HAD to remove his toenail and you can imagine the torture he was feeling. They told me it was necessary to avoid an even worse scenario. I couldn’t handle seeing his pain. Had I watched I would have stopped it because my heart couldn’t handle the pain he was going through. I instead ducked my head behind his body to not see, but held his hand/arm tightly. There’s so much pain we can’t handle as parents that we also can’t interrupt for the sake of our children. In those moments a child would naturally think the parent didn’t love them enough or were deserting them when the opposite is true.
Also it’s kind of hopeful when you dwell on it: in our darkest moments we can be sure that God is still there and will protect us/raise us out of the darkness. He never really forsakes us even when it feels like it.
Agreed Juju. Watching a child hurt is the worst agony for a parent. I have no doubt God the Father and God the Holy Spirit felt the same way. Blessed Easter to you and yours Juju. You and Janice are certainly great blessings to all of us here.
Yes, that statement from Jesus “why hast thou forsaken me” tells us at two things.
For one during His entire ministry He was consciously aware of the Father’s fellowship 24/7.
Secondly, what Jesus did in the earth on the cross He did by Himself and in a certain manner He did it for Himself something He personally wanted to do. He tread the winepress of God’s wrath alone.
The work that Jesus did and continues to do is all His own.
Taking away the sins of the world was something Christ would do alone. Bringing many sons to glory is another.
We don’t have to wrestle with this trying to figure it out. It was plainly foretold and lived out in the Day of Atonement ritual performed by the high priest once a year.
The dual aspects of the two goats: one was sacrificed and the other was led out into wilderness carrying the sins of people transferred to it by the laying on of the hands of the high priest. All of this elaborate ritual spoke of the future when Christ would remove the sins of the entire world by Himself.
So that all who would come in faith could find peace with God and themselves. Remember it was unbelief that originally separated us from God; it is faith in the work of His Son that reunites back to Him.
I understand the same way Janice. For the sacrifice to be made, God the Father had to turn away. I often think about God the Father and God the Holy Ghost and the anguish they must have felt watching the agony all unfold. It breaks me to think of it.
Blessed Easter to you Janice and to your family. Thank you for never failing to share scripture with us. You are very dear to all of us. He is Risen.
Jesus was quoting Psalm 22 written by David hundreds of years earlier. When you read that whole chapter to the end, you’ll know what Jesus’ meaning. Faith in his (and our) Father to the very end. Brings tears to my eyes and yet joy to my spirit.
Jesus Christ was fully human while on this earth, is why, and yes what a mystery. He also wept over the world upon his entrance to Jerusalem, described in Luke 19:41-44.
Janice, if you want to experience this deeply, please find an Orthodox Church and attend next Thursday during our Holy Week. Holy Thursday is long, it’s exhausting, and it is a beautiful Service. In fact every Service during Holy Week is beautiful as we walk with Jesus through what he experienced. 💟✝️
Yes Connie. Holy Week is a beautiful walk with Jesus. Last nights Holy Thursday Mass was scriptural and we visited with Jesus in the Garden of Repose afterwards.
Janice, as I prayed and pondered last night....that next to the last 'saying' of Yeshua on the Calvary hill cross 'popped' into my mind and I was filled with GRATITUDE and UNENDING AWE at the SUPREME SACRIFICE the Lord Yeshua Christ offered to save humanity from its "sin bent" so we could have the SWEET SOULS OF RANSOMED BEINGS to present to our Creator upon our physical death.
"OH WHAT A WONDER THAT YESHUA LOVED ME--out of the darkness, no light could I see--OH WAHT A WONDER, He put His great arms under...and WONDER of WONDERS He SAVED EVEN ME!!"
And this was all prophesied in the Old Testament and yet Israel rejects Him. He did this for them first and then told the disciples to minister to the gentiles. And yet we have not seen and yet believed. Thank you Jesus for your mercy and sacrifice. Nothing will ever compare to this kind of Love.
I love scripture but what does this have to do with the topic? You post bible verses every day at the top of the comments section and they take away from the discussion.
The Bondi move makes sense. Think about baseball and how Pitchers are utilized. You have a Starter, you have middle relief, you have a setup man, and then a Closer. Each role is unique from the other; the moment you put the ball in their hands, determines how long they stay in the game. I am assuming that Bondi hit her peak value and needed relief.
Bondi indicated two Democrats in DC. Look what happened. As I said yesterday, convicting a Democrat in DC is like getting Orcs to convict Sauron. Trying to break this lock on the DC DOJ is a herculean task and may require other skills. Normally you would use the IC to find the betrayals, but they to are deeply compromised. The globalists had decades to March through the US institutions.
Jeff may have made an error in his post today. "ActBlue is essentially the Democrats’ main online money machine: a nonprofit payment platform that launders, I mean processes individual donations for Democratic candidates and left-leaning causes, similar to how WinRed serves Republicans"
WinRed is not deeply corrupt as far as I know, and so the word "Supposedly"processes individual donations for Democratic candidates and left-leaning causes, similar to how WinRed serves Republicans" would have read better IMV. (Sorry Jeff, you can use the "convicting a Democrat in DC is like getting Orcs to convict Sauron." line anytime.
Unfortunately winred is involved in smurfing just not at democrats levels. Also unfortunately 95% of republicans are bought and paid for whores with a good percentage taking foreign money
Good philosophy. Except for the Epstein files, one could argue that she did a pretty good job, if for no other reason than all the lawsuits against the admin that they prevailed on.
I did read a good commentary today about how once you enter the swamp, the rules of engagement change, so to speak. You are now dealing with a bureaucracy that will lie, stonewall, and fight you every step of the way, and it makes it very hard to get anything done. Lowering the murder rate across the country by 20% is an accomplishment that should not be overlooked. Maybe she has done her part of the work and now the new guy comes in to take over. We have lots of questions but not necessarily many valid answers. I’m willing to wait and see how this all plays out.
Personally, I believe the Epstein files will be used eventually. But it's not time. Holding those over the heads of a lot of powerful people gives Trump some leverage. And also puts him in extreme danger. These people aren't playing. I don't think any of those calls were up to bondi. Trump holds all the cards. Just like everything else he'll decide when it's time to show his hand. And that time is not yet, with yet being the operative word.
But she didn't get any of the people that Trump cares most about: Comey, Brennan, Letitia James, etc. Many conservatives feel she did a bad job. And Sohrab Ahmari said she also did a lousy job on anti-trust issues and got rid of the populist DOJ person from JD Vance that was working on those issues. Her actions with the Epstein files were embarrassing, as was her performance before the Congressional hearing several weeks ago.
Bullshit. She was a compromise and the only ag candidate he could get through confirmation in our traitorous senate. You know the traitors who are making Trump The FIRST president in history to be blocked from recess appointments by his own party. He still hasn’t even been able to get 2/3’s of his us attorney and judge appointments through. Traitors all of them. Trump should be blasting them nonstop instead he keeps endorsing rinos candidates that stab him in the back
"But she didn't get any of the people that Trump cares most about….” Not yet, but I believe at least some of them will be indicted before the midterms. Big, complex federal cases take time.
But don’t you know, wishful thinking should just make it happen! Never mind the decades thick levels of Lawfare and Federal judge corruption that have to be worked through. Trump was supposed to fix this all overnight, don’tcha know?
What some people are using to think with must be a lot lower than their heads!
My view is that Trump and his whole team know that winning the midterms is crucial. Democrats will hound them mercilessly if they win. We all know Democrats have committed many crimes, and that Trump likes bold, decisive action and wants vindication. He can take a “No one is above the law” approach that will be politically popular. He also knows timing, and indictments before the midterms will give him maximum advantage. Logic tells me this is bound to happen.
Trump never asks a question he doesn't know the answer to, and he doesn't publicly name names unless he knows he has them dead to rights with no way out.
i'm no Bondi fan. i do give her justice dept some credit. they did not 'get' comey or james but why? could it be the doj is so partisan democrat that they had trouble finding a lawyer who wouldn't throw the case? seems so. (lindsey halligan is evidence). could it be that a system tilted in favor of democrats (like NY federal judges) allowed james to wriggle free? seems so. could someone other than bondi have come in and made all these things irrelevant? i doubt it.
I don’t know anything that she actually did? I am happy to see her go. If I am wrong and missed something she did I am happy to admit it but not a fan. Patel can go also.
A lot of arrests have been made in regards to sex traffickers, hundreds of thousands of children taken during the Biden Misery have been rescued. Much progress has been made on the drugs front. I’m sure massive preparations for future arrests and prosecutions have been started and put under way.
Someone yesterday responded to someone like you with a long list of Bondi’s accomplishments.
If Jeff didn’t attract so many commenters,(like a thousand a day),I’d try to find it. I’m sure you could find some if you looked instead of spewing MSM propaganda.
Willing spirit I don’t even know where to start… in an above comment I said IMO and willing to be corrected! I do not sit and watch any legacy media and have not had cable since 2012. Your rudeness is not appreciated. Don’t be a DICK
Patti, don't choose to be offended. You're clearly terribly worked up over how someone whom you do not know responded in a short written paragraph in a way you didn't like. Take a breath and drop your offendedness. Here's what Larry Shweikart posted yesterday in the comments about Bondi:
"Bondi's DOJ has overseen and supervised (again, no lawyer but just what it appears) the most successful series of legal defenses of an administration in American history. By my count, she/DoJ has won 32-33 appeals on various aspects of Trump's agenda. She has facilitated and supported the removal of 3.5 million illegal invaders. She has, via Harmeet Dhillon, brought universities to their knees over DEI (still a couple of guerilla holdouts). In short, if you omit the "big name arrests," Bondi's DoJ is simply the most effective and successful in history. And, oh yeah, did I mention that there have been FIVE major human trafficking busts in 18 mo. Now, again, impossible to prove, but where did the leads for those busts---that have freed thousands of kiddos---come from? Gee, couldn't be the old Eppy Files, could it?"
Also I DO NOT HAVE THE TIME to sit and watch read hours of content and sift thru. That is ONE reason I come to Jeff’s blog and his comment section. Great you have time. Happy for ya. I’m busy working and try just trying to stay up on all the shit so I can be informed. It’s county, state ( I am unfortunately a Washington resident for a few more months so that’s a shit ton all on its own) and federal so when you want to be nice and not put people down for commenting come back otherwise BYEEEEEE
I like the comment section because I can and will continue to have discussion without the DICK COMMENTS! Don’t make the section like all other comment sections.
The FBI statistics for the past 12 months paint a very different picture than the criticisms thrown at Patel. He might not have accomplished the one mission people most wanted him to, but when you look at what the FBI DID accomplish it’s breathtaking, and nothing has ever been done like it before, much less in so little time. He and Bongino deserve a lot of credit for what they have accomplished. Again it’s in the numbers and numbers don’t lie like fake news or disgruntled dissenters do.
I judge them on results and theirs cannot be contested (unless you expected them to show proof Epstein killed himself and hang every last guilty participant to his world and that’s all you wanted the FBI to do.)
Yes. This notion that if someone is placed in a position, they should get to keep the position just because they have that position is immature and silly. Different players have tasks at different phases and the practice of replacing them for a next phase is the flexibility and adaptability required for strategized success.
I agree. In football, the offense will often put in the “change of pace” running back. When the defense sees the rhythm that the offense is playing, it’s much easier to defend… hence the change of pace. This makes the defense alter their approach with different personnel and/or different alignment.
Blanche is not a career bureaucrat and already has experience with players like James. Hopefully, Harmeet Dhillon gets elevated, too.
It would not surprise me to see Dhillon nominated for AG while Blanche is a distraction… a distraction with a limited and focused purpose.
I have known lawyers who were really good at assembling a case. They understood it completely, knew exactly what order everything should be introduced, but were not good at examining on the stand a witness. Pam might have set Todd up perfectly and does not want to put her family through anymore hell. I will give her the benefit of the doubt.
It seems like the trad media became too comfortable in their rhetoric about her, but her performance in senate hearings left Trump supporters dissatisfied and unimpressed.
She didn't seem aggressive or bold enough and lacked grit. Like she was holding back and intentionally slow walking.
Trump needs someone unfazed, unshakable, unpredictable and intimidating.
The Dems had the Epstein files for four years. There is nothing there to hurt any Dems. They left enough big names there to be juicy. Likewise that info exists still somewhere. If John Roberts was on a video wearing a pink tutu and chasing 15 year old boys around a king size bed not a chance in the world would it have been left in the files. But also not a chance they erased everything.
Think about it, anyone they want to blackmail, including Thune Roberts Mitch etc, would have been removed. Why? Because a compromised Thune on the inside being threatened is far more powerful for Dems than a disgraced Thune with a Trump ally in his place.
Same as with Roberts. They don’t want him gone. He votes with the Constitution 75% of the time. And with Ds on the big ones.
I asked AI if Blanche would be considered Trump's war time consigliere and it said yes. There was more but it's an easy ask to replicate. Since Bondi was an AG from Florida and Blanche did not have that in his wheel house, perhaps this was a planned training period. Just sayin.
Being Holy Week and Good Friday we all should look at our world, the way the corrupt and powerful sell their souls for their 30 pieces of silver and how they crush the average working person. It’s communism versus liberty. Totalitarianism versus freedom. Good versus evil. And in the end after they crushed Jesus he rose from the dead. He in the end defeated evil.
2000 years later this carpenter calls Him my Savior, and because of Him I thrive to be a better man. Good wins in the end.
Beautiful James… a “good man wins… shares his beliefs proudly… truly rich in his faith… his namesake exemplifies the richness… James… Good.Rich… “Good wins”…. God bless you carpenter James… and thank you… this holy weekend we all thrive to be better… amen. 🕊✝️🕊
I was on another site today and a woman by the name of Deb was full of hate and blaming Christians and condemning them for atrocities in the world, how we are all hypocrites and that our churches are simply there for money and corporate politics. I told her she needs to find Jesus and all that ugliness toward Christians will fall away. Her words were very ugly.
This won't surprise most C & C readers; it's sadly funny:
"Analyses of doctors’ strikes in modern history have revealed a paradoxical trend: when doctors go on strike and elective surgeries are suspended, population mortality often stays the same or decreases
. A review of the literature identified 156 articles, with several key studies highlighting instances where death rates significantly fell.
The three most famous, frequently cited examples of declining death rates during doctors’ strikes are:
1. Israel (1973): During a one-month doctor strike, mortality rates dropped by 50%.
2. Bogotá, Colombia (1976): A 52-day strike by medical doctors resulted in a 35% drop in the death rate.
3. Los Angeles County, USA (1976):Doctors went on strike for five weeks over high malpractice insurance premiums, leading to an 18% reduction in mortality.
Additional instances where mortality dropped or remained steady during industrial action include Israel in 1983 and 2000, Spain in 1999, and Croatia in 2003.
We have a crisis in our land. We face fiscal demise due to exploding disease maintenance costs. The more “medical care” we give (funded by government and private insurance) the likely more adverse outcomes we will have since what gets funded is after the fact symptoms suppression chemicals. Your degeneration started in your childhood. If you have known cancer, you’re likely to have harbored the malignant cells for at least 10-20 years. Better to make lifestyle changes. Best to prevent decades before. Please remember that in your activities with your dearest ones. And again, this is why I am here to report to you, and I humbly thank you for being here for me.
@Kitkat meanwhile, a law firm in California that I called on Tuesday was closed in remembrance of Cesar Chavez Day 🙄 I guess they didn’t get the latest memo about him being a sexual predator. Whatever will they do?!
Based on a March 2026 investigation published by The New York Times, extensive evidence emerged detailing allegations that Cesar Chavez, the late co-founder of the United Farm Workers (UFW), groomed and sexually abused girls and women during his leadership of the union in the 1960s and 1970s.
Dordulian Law Group
Key details of the allegations reported in March 2026:
Dolores Huerta's Account: Dolores Huerta, the celebrated activist who co-founded the UFW with Chavez, publicly disclosed that Chavez sexually assaulted her in the 1960s, stating she was pressured into one encounter and forced in another. She stated these encounters resulted in pregnancies that she kept secret.
Abuse of Minors: The investigation revealed allegations from multiple women, including Ana Murguia and Debra Rojas, who reported that Chavez sexually abused them when they were 12 and 13 years old, respectively.
Reaction and Impact: Following the report, the UFW cancelled events honoring Chavez, and numerous cities and states, including California and Texas, moved to rename streets, schools, and parks, or remove holidays dedicated to him.
Family Response: The family of Cesar Chavez released a statement stating they were "deeply shocked" and "not in a position to judge" the claims, while honoring the voices of those who reported the abuse.
The Guardian
The reports have significantly impacted the legacy of the civil rights leader, shifting public perception and leading to a reexamination of his actions.
On the Act Blue story, I think it clear what is going on- the criminal investigation is about to revealed and all of the rats ran to the NYTimes to get their alibis published in order to ensure they are not indicted along with the organization's management.
Those rats probably included an awful lot of basically whistleblowers shoring up their own defenses. They know they're dealing with Democrats scumbags that throw them to the wolves first. They likely brought tons of material to the NYT. It was too much, too good, even NYT had go with it. The damage was done, prosecution hell is coming for Act Blue, no avoiding it, so may as well get the "scoop".
This makes me SO happy! I'm so ready to do a happy dance once they get shut down and prosecuted!!
Would love to see all that money returned to the 'perported' givers - most are elderly (even if they are smurfs) on fixed incomes and it would be nice to see $18K go to an elder who needs it with prices so high now.
Wonder if they could award a portion to James O'Keefe for breaking the story - with his usual visual aides.
But will Pam Bondi go on the podcast circuit and talk 💩 about Trump? That’ll be the real test of how friendly her departure was. I’m really tired of people doing that (looking at you, MTG). I hope she has the maturity not do it.
That would surprise me. I think MTG fell for the MAGA-is-falling-apart BS and sees herself as a '28 contender hoovering up the remnants. She is the right's version of Jasmine Crockett.
Joining MTG - Tucker, Massie, A. Jones ( who seemed drunk on a recent podcast), S. Bannon. A prerequisite to joining this group is blaming Israel for Everything, including Charlie Kirk’s murder. More to come as they jockey into position for 2028 & try & eliminate the maga movement when Trump leaves.
Well, there is plenty of doubt about the present story about CK's death. It just does not make sense as it's presently being told. There was fishy stuff going on that day.
I do not know if Israel or the CIA had a hand in it or not. I do know CK turned down a generous offer from Bibi, because it came with strings. CK had also started a DOGE style audit because there was an estimated $10 million missing. Leah on substack has done some amazing digging there -
Questions are fine. Unfounded serious accusations that damage lives are not. Why not wait for the evidence to be released at trial? Seems the logical thing. Currently nobody knows what evidence the prosecution has, just speculation & theories.
I do believe the Israeli govt had a hand in CK's passing for the reason you cite. There is way more to that story we have not received. I would love to be proved wrong but I look at Bibi as the Pharisee he is.
I haven’t read your stack all the way but I want to say thank you for not stating Bondi got fired. You are very intelligent. I can see why you have so many followers. I am just amazed at the Doomers a/k/a Panicans who run their mouths about something they know nothing about. They should realize their negativity is ruining the MAGA base…just like the deep state wants.
Very frustrating because we are winning and the Doomers have completely lost it!
I agree. I’ve turned many off, although I have never imbibed the likes of the above. I remember commenters names and just scroll past them. There are many right now. I never block anyone, however. I’m a former democrat who fled during Covid. I’m all in with Trump and it pains me to see the doomers and liars. I was close to the horrors of the left. It’s in my family , the child trans ideology writ large. Evil suffuses the left. We cannot go back. The left is a cornered animal and full-on nihilists.
I don't know about you Janet, but I would like to be able to vote for party that doesn't either push trans agenda on our children or starts unnecessary wars. What great choices we have.
@Johnny- Anyone with integrity will take out the playground bully so everyone can enjoy said playground. Unlike other presidents, this one did not start a fight for kicks-n-giggles.
Donald Trump has bombed Iran, Nigeria, Yemen, Venezuela, Iraq, Somalia, and Syria, killing innocent women, children and civilians.
What do those countries have in common?
They are remaining countries NOT on the Rottchild banking system.
You know who else is NOT on the Rottchild banking system?
Cuba.
Have you seen the videos of the Cuban people desperately begging the World for help? They have NO OIL.
No power, no hospitals, no gas, no food, no transportation. Cubans are in horrible conditions and crisis and begging the World for help.
Why? Because Donald Trump bombed Venezuela, so City of London could install a new regime and take over Venezuelan oil, and then Trump ordered a blockade to prevent ships from getting oil to Cuba. (Venezuela is one of the largest oil suppliers for Cuba.)
In March '26 Trump stated that Cuba is "going to fall pretty soon".
Yes because Trump is committing economic genocide. Trump has cut off oil to Cuba!
Why?!???
WTF did Cubans do to deserve Trump DESTROYING Cuba???
And who benefits?
Rottchild.
And who benefits when Trump started WW3 and is destroying the world economy?
Trump is the 5:30 a.m. wake up alarm. Nobody wants to hear it. Sleep is so much more pleasant. Some want to throw that clock against a brick wall and shatter it into pieces and dream on about a world that never threatens.
Contrary to the hype and public imaging, Donald Trump is a lousy businessman. Trump lost those casinos and the investors monies, and then he sold his soul to Rottchild.
Which is why Trump is president. And what Trump does benefits Rottchild. Like when Trump filled the Swamp, AGAIN, along with all those Deep State, Globalist, Rottchild banking executives, Cabal spawn, Skull&Bones, Goldman-Sachs secret society Epstein frat bros that Trump appointed, including Wilbur Ross, the EXECUTIVE MANAGING DIRECTOR OF ROTTCHILD BANKING INDUSTRIES, to be the Secretary of COMMERCE for the United States of America!
@Proberta- Cuba destroyed Cuba. My brother in law, his parents, and siblings escaped Cuba in '63 as- YES!- actual asylees. Arguing by calling names is not a mature argument. Nice try, though. I would have listened to you had you argued like an adult.
@ Johnny😱Zero. The Muslim/Communist party? Well, you already got the head position in NYC and in London.
Of course, one group would have to have it out with the other for supremacy eventually, but for now it makes a good alliance for the goal of the destruction of Western Civilization.
Tex - I agree concerning the Doomers, I suspect that’s why we are here at the bar where the glasses are mostly full. Giving credit where it is do however, Alex Jones may be a Doomer but he is MAGA and Pro Trump. The main issue with the others you listed is their antisemitism. They have been compromised by the dark side in someway. I’m done with them.
Tucker is not an antisemite IMHO. He ?s the Israeli govt and their motives using us a constant source of protection. He does not like Bibi and I do not blame him. I don't either, he is a Pharisee in the truest form.
It’s to change it and make it their own, in their own image, not in Trump’s. But they can’t pi** off Trump in the process because he will bury them, which is why they attack us and not him. They can’t win others over to their team with reasoned debate, so they have to try to convert the base and claim it as their own. It’s the only way they can get enough supporters, they have to steal them, pick them off one by one like the hyenas they are.
The maga base is doing it to themselves - cheering on a war in which brothers and sisters are dying - for Israel. $39 trillion in debt and counting. Bases destroyed. Crucial global energy assets destroyed. Good stuff. Keep cheering it on though.
You partisans are so blind....let me help you.....Trump's first term - record deficit. Biden - new record deficit! Trump's current term - more record deficits.
Of course congress signs off on it all, but then ultimately, so does POTUS.
Speaking of Ukraine, I thought that war should have been done about 450 days ago? Nah, let's keep sending the coke head penis piano player billions.
Tell me something I don't know. Trump's policies did contribute to it, however, and who was it that campaigned constantly on ending the Ukraine war on day 1 - and then continued to fund it and send weapons? That would be President Bone Spurs.
Biden is a disaster, Obama was a disaster, Trump also, a disaster.
You are right Johnny-O ... To focus on $40Trillion in debt - That is the One True Existential Crisis NO-ONE wants to face. But, what is the SOLUTION you propose?
Far as I'm concerned There are TWO:
Austerity, cut all kinds of spending/benefits/programs; risk civil war; live like Greece not that long ago... it is one path.
The other, what you'd expect from someone like Trump (and admittedly probably NOT a long term solution) is his "Golden Age" prosperity, GDPs that restore some balance to our debt. ... That is what everyone REALLY wants, they want MORE OF THE SAME. Not Austerity, they want to cover their eyes to the future and what that portends for the Children of today... roll the dice and see if just maybe there is someway out - Maybe the Moon? Maybe Mars? Maybe Not.
BUT YES! (as said elsewhere):
THIS! is what I voted for and have been waiting to see out of D.C. (out of the NYTimes is a Surprise!)... but hopefully this means things are headed the right way:
(P.S. - If "ActBlue" has grown stale - Think... Sam Bankman-Fried's FTX Cyrpto corruption & his parents (his Mom's/Stanford University based: "Mind the Gap") Billions in Crypto Fraud and the ActBlue fraud, a billion to Stacey Abrams via Nonprofits in Georgia; Whitmer's $20 Million to Faye Beydoun here in Michigan, Old Folks everywhere being asked why they seem so poor; but supposedly repeated low dollar donations were being made to DNC in their names???; etc.etc.etc.)
it's a long path... no easy fix... but need to start by burning that B.S down!
From years of exposure to Johnny Zero here, he doesn’t have any solution. Like a good Muslim/communist, he’s just about tearing down Western Civilization. Thus, never has a good word to say about America or Israel.
Respectfully, it isn't my responsibility to come up with the solution. I'm not in DC.
I would start by doing some heavy auditing of the pentagon, and decreasing spending by 50% - not increasing it by 50% as Trump would like, which is utterly bananas. China and Russia combined don't even spend that much and have far more to show for their meager expenditures than do we.
Begin diverting subsidies from large MNCs to small business owners. When we put money in the hands of many small business owners that money stays in the economy. Billionaires getting fat bank accounts doesn't help our economy.
And of course, something must be done about the FED. Why do we have to pay interest on our own money? The never-ending debt trap must end.
(DOGE? Fraud? And Yes Military… once threats are minimized) add that to prosperity and opportunity in the stars and via some optimism… and there may very well be a 3rd or 4th way out!
I would like to guest that you actually research who is owed the majority of that $39 trillion debt. You will be surprised when you see who it is. It’s not other countries or even banks.
I am MAGA and listen to Tucker as his guests are very interesting and bring another side to at least consider. With respect, I do not believe Tucker is anti-Trump. I believe he is very frustrated with him and his connection to Bibi and getting into this war.
I cannot. It is unimaginable. The Chosen brings Christ's story to life and there is a scene when it is Palm Sunday and the actor who plays Jesus is very good and you can see the happiness yet the anguish on his face knowing what is in store.
Today is the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, a High Day Sabbath, after Passover Day. Exodus 13:6-10. This commemorates Yahweh bringing Israel out of Egypt, which represents sin. It also foreshadowed the time of the Messiah who gave his life as the Passover Lamb for our sins. Unleavened bread represents sound doctrine and removal of sin from our lives and hearts. These are commanded observances, "a statute forever throughout your generations", Lev. 23:41. Yahshua the Messiah kept His Father's commandments, and set the example for us. The Apostles and early believers all kept the statutes and Sabbaths.
This year the count toward Pentecost, the Feast of Weeks, begins on April 5, after the weekly Sabbath, making Pentecost May 24.
Dave, I have been wanting to go to our local synagogue and sit with the Rabbi and ask why they reject Jesus. Why they are so hateful about Him. It hurts me that they reject Him when he fulfilled scripture and it is right there for all of them to see. Do you have any suggestions on how to approach the Rabbi so he knows I am in earnest and wanting to understand?
There are decades when weeks happen and weeks where decades happen. This is one of those eras where the latter is the case. We are seeing a reordering of the Post WW2 world order.
What you do not understand is that it was Trump’s DOJ that originally tried to get these files released and the Obama Judge said hell no. Then they took it to the appeals court and it sat there. I got so much stuff on this and his other rape cases which are all BS. All you have to do is go looking into court documents and draw your own conclusions. Not one of these woman proved they were raped by Trump.
It’s an Obama judge that didn’t release the Epstein grand jury witness testimony documents.
Why didn’t Biden’s DOJ file pleadings to unseal grand jury testimony? 👇🏿Hum?
The Biden administration's Department of Justice (DOJ) did NOT file a complaint to unseal grand jury testimony related to Jeffrey Epstein. Instead, the DOJ had previously sought to unseal grand jury materials, but federal judges have consistently denied these requests. Well why not?
The DOJ had previously stated that it fulfilled its obligations under the Epstein Files Transparency Act by releasing all required documents. Everyone go read it!
If you honestly believe the victims are screaming for exposure of their rapists then think again. Until THEY challenge and adjudicate THEIR signed NDAs there’s not a thing the DOJ or Trump can do about it. They signed a deal with the devil in which they cannot expose the names of their rapists . What they got in return are millions and they definitely made their counsel happy. Do you honestly think Trump’s DOJ is stupid enough to break the law and have these attorney vultures go after them legally?
In response to the claims, the Epstein Victims’ Compensation Fund (VCP) was established. This fund allowed survivors to file claims against Epstein's estate without going through lengthy court battles. The VCP distributed over $121 million to 135 survivors before it closed in 2021.
NDAs are designed to protect the privacy of the victims and the details of the settlements. Which means their rapists can never be exposed. They did this to theirselves and they made sure to manipulate these women. Now they scream. Anyone that has a little knowledge of NDAs should know this.
Epstein ain’t going away cause ignorant people will make sure of it. Trump knows the outrage and I’m willing to bet he’ll be forced via congressional vote (again) to release ALL documentation. I think that’s what he wants. I guess we will see. But they released what they legally could.
I cannot believe the ignorance of people when it comes to the legality of this Epstein saga! The rapists, the evil doers got what they wanted from the very beginning and the women sold their soul for money. If they want them exposed then by all means challenge your NDA in a court of law or just shut up about it.
Democrat representatives are banking on their base to stay this ignorant. This is all they have and when you start digging you realize how uneducated the democrats really are.
Epstein, Epstein, Epstein!
With all due respect, get educated or stay ignorant on this issue.
I have looked in to this too and am frustrated with people who don’t bother to investigate and see why exactly the law will not allow Trump or anyone to create a sideshow just to satisfy their gross ignorance.
I wish I could heart this more than once. I don't know the details and timeline but I knew that this all pre-dated Trump and my gut said if there was anything against Trump or any Republican, a release would have happened under BO or Biden. And the victims signing an NDA and then crying for the news cameras are pathetic--it's clear that they had buyer's remorse because if they could name names, they would have.
This makes sense. I will screenshot the links for later, but on the surface it seems the most logical explanation. Wondering about the woman who was recently found dead from ‘suicide’. Did she challenge her NDA or did she never sign one to begin with? Virginia…
Thank you for your excellent information. I knew nothing about the court listener site nor the Epstein Victims' Compensation Fund nor did I have a deep understanding of NDAs. You have educated a lot of us. Thank you.
If anyone can create a leak about this, it is God. He can perform miracles as we know so I hope and pray God has a plan to expose the rapists so arrests and punishments can begin. Thank you for this comment. BTW, Sayer Ji has a substack going into depth on Epstein and all his connections. You many be interested in checking him out sometime.

When the sixth hour came, darkness fell over the whole land until the ninth hour. At the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?” which is translated, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?” When some of the bystanders heard it, they began saying, “Behold, He is calling for Elijah.” Someone ran and filled a sponge with sour wine, put it on a reed, and gave Him a drink, saying, “Let us see whether Elijah will come to take Him down.” And Jesus uttered a loud cry, and breathed His last. And the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. When the centurion, who was standing right in front of Him, saw the way He breathed His last, he said, “Truly this man was the Son of God!”
— Mark 15:33-39 NAS95
✝️✝️✝️
He could have summoned legions of angels. He could have destroyed His captors. He could have said no to taking our sin upon Himself. Yet He chose mercy. Hallelujah.
It's Friday.... but Sunday's coming!
Take a listen… let the words fill your soul with hope!
Sermon by S.M. Lockridge

Yes, it’s beautiful
Beautiful
When I think of this time of year, the song is "The Easter Song" and the version I choose is sung by Keith Green.
https://youtu.be/mG8Tko3BzHk?si=tJ9ycQev2dzdBcIr
I had the privilege of meeting him once while waiting in line for one of his concerts at Calvary Chapel in San Diego and he came out to greet all of us beforehand. After the concert, he requested that there be no applause but that we all just file out in a prayerful manner, focused on the Lord. God surely used the man for His glory.
I heard him a couple times in person. He’s one of those you just go “why God, why??”
Keith Green and Don Fransisco - wildly overlooked musicians!!
Just imagine - we ransomed souls will ALL BE SINGING these songs and praises to our Creator for eternity - our finite minds cannot fully grasp the EXULTANT JOY we will know on the REAL SIDE of life!
Blood and tears
How can it be?
There's a God who weeps
There's a God who bleeds
Oh, praise the One
Who had reached for me
Hallelujah
To the Son of suffering
And most WONDROUS of all--the tomb in which his body lay is EMPTY - Yeshua conquered DEATH along with SIN when He sacrificially died on Calvary cross.
Good reminders of songs to listen to today. I’d forgotten about Don Francisco’s He’s Alive!
Oh yes! It still gives me goosebumps after all these years.
2nd Chapter of Acts has a great rendition as well.
As a kid I was in the bell choir and we would play this song at Easter Mass. Love it! Thank you.
I saw a movie yesterday called "A Great Awakening" that was A-MAZING, for the message of faith in Jesus Chris, as well as the intersection with America's constitutional convention of 1789. Here's my movie review about it. (it wasn't even on the marquis at the theater!! It opens officially today.
"A Great Awakening" is a reference to a revivalist period that existed just prior to the founding of America. George Whitefield (pronounced "Whitfield") is the most famous of the preachers of this revivalist movement, and the film interweaves the life of this powerful and charismatic preacher with that of Benjamin Franklin, one of the most recognizable and well known founders of this country.
This film is beautifully made and follows the lives of both men, showing their backgrounds as children, which went on to shape their lives - both fighting against being preachers, with one becoming the most famous of the revivalist era, and the other instead becoming a man who writes the words, not preaching the word.
Benjamin Franklin was well known throughout America as well as in Europe for his discovery of electricity, but he was also a pragmatist and sought to highlight the common man, taking great pleasure at tweaking the noses of "the elitists" at the time in his newspaper through pseudonyms such as "Obadiah Plainman", "Tom Trueman", "Sirus Dogood" and more. As George arrives on America's shores, he lands in Philadelphia - the largest city in America at that time, intent on spreading the words and gospel of Jesus Christ. Ben, seeing an opportunity for greater wealth by printing Whitefield's sermons, quickly agrees to publish them (45 of his weekly "Pennsylvania Gazette" issues had stories of Whitefield, with 8 of them having the front page covered with Whitefield's sermons).
The developing fascination by Benjamin Franklin of Whitefield is humorously written in his autobiography as such: "I happened soon after to attend one of his sermons, in the course of which I perceived he intended to finish with a collection, and I silently resolved he should get nothing from me. I had in my pocket a handful of copper money, three or four silver dollars, and five pistoles in gold. As he proceeded I began to soften, and concluded to give the coppers. Another stroke of his oratory made me ashamed of that, and determined me to give the silver; and he finished so admirably, that I emptied my pocket wholly into the collector's dish, gold and all."
The film interweaves their life stories in a beautiful fashion, maintaining the tension between them, of Whitefield's effort to convert Ben, and Ben reverting to facts, not faith, for his source of truth.
The film begins and ends with the conflict of competing political interests of the Continental Congress, where we are introduced to raucous debate, and led by General George Washington, who sits upon a chair emblazoned with a sun, symbolically and literally used in the film as a metaphor for a rising or falling nation, and for which Benjamin Franklin had famous quotes about. George Washington has important parts in this film which are powerfully delivered, and reflecting the perilous position of a founding nation embarking on a new experiment in self governance, while powerful nations seek to take advantage of the fledgling nation's inner conflicts.
The influence of George Whitefield upon Ben is portrayed beautifully in Ben Franklin's famous speech about the need to call upon a provident creator to guide the assembly towards a resolution. For the sake of time, some of the context following that speech is preserved, but infers upon what is to follow - a period of days in which the men worship together before reconvening and ultimately ratifying a new Constitution of the United States.
I admit that I found tears flowing from my eyes during the sermons by George Whitefield, with his oratory skills being demonstrated and carried by a spirit, as well as when Benjamin Franklin pleaded for assistance from above for the establishment of this nation. The symbolic drawing aside of the curtains to reveal the light which was being sought prefaced Ben's speech beautifully.
For those who are familiar with George Washington's miraculous deliveries from harm and his lifelong faith in God, you realize the gravity of George Washington's words to Ben Franklin regarding Valley Forge being what he thought as the worst darkness of the country, as desperate and scantily clothed men fought sought to survive the winter of 1775. But to hear his continued reference to an even darker time being in the Continental Congress, you begin to get a sense of just how perilous both times were in our nation's history. One can't help but see the hand of providence in our nation's founding, and wonder about the current state of this country, it's leaders and state of affairs. Despite what the media portrays, the world sees us as a beacon of light and leading the fight against a global tyranny that seeks to enslave us all. There IS a great awakening, and leaders are being overthrown as destructive policies and stark enforcement of tyrannical laws are stirring the people to action.
It was faith that helped unite our country, and it will take faith to bring our country back from the brink of destruction which we were so close to in recent years.
Indeed, this movie hearkens us to a NEW "Great Awakening", of which WE are a part of.
This is a BEAUTIFUL movie that I encourage everyone to watch, and is a VERY fitting movie to celebrate the 250th anniversary of our nation's founding, and a remembrance of the importance of Jesus Christ for all of us in our lives and in our nation.

I saw that movie at a "pre screening" last Sunday with my bestie, Lenna. I live in Lancaster, PA area and the production, direction and many of the actors hail from that blessed city. SIGHT & SOUND PRODUCTIONS is a division of SIGHT & SOUND THEATRE - I welcome one and all of you to visit us in Amish country and go to one of their Biblical productions. TRUE TO THE WORD all of them and they always end a play with a "altar call" to come to the front of the theatre to accept Yeshua as Savior and Lord of your life!
Here's a link to the Sight and Sound Theatre in Lancaster (and there is one in Branson, MO as well): https://www.sight-sound.com/lancaster
I'd love to go back there. A few years back, a local researcher there found that my ancestral family had a farm at the location of the airport and discovered graves there of some family members. They received permission to dig up a grave stone that was visible a few feet below the ground, seen via a gopher hole. That gravestone provided a most welcome piece of research that had eluded me for 40+ years. I told the researcher (when she disclosed this to me) that she was better than Santa Claus and I wept for what she had done for me. I believe since then that the airport has reinterred those graves as they were expanding parts of the airport.
Your Sight and Sound theater is beautiful! I bet the experience there is amazing!
Kudos again to those folks, for the solid storytelling and amazing cinematography of the movie. I LOVED the adherence to facts in the story, and I pulled out my copy of Walter Isaacson's Benjamin Franklin biography to read further on Benjamin and George's relationship and which provided the quote used in the review above.
I also have a DNA relationship to one of Benjamin Franklin's printing partners (Hugh Meredith) who's family provided the money to get it started, but who subsequently left due to his drinking and overall disinterest in the printing trade. Benjamin Franklin continued to write of Hugh's adventures to North Carolina, where he described the land there. He likely had a relationship down there, as I've seen a different surname "Pugh" associated with the Y-DNA test (often called the surname test, as it follows the male line.) It was my sister's observation of Hugh in the book and her reaching out to me that introduced me more fully to Benjamin Franklin. A retired professor who I tracked down from a very old post online told me that Pugh and Meredith families were often closely linked together - both being prominent and physically located near one another.
Benjamin Franklin was an interesting and flawed man - touched on very briefly in the film with a scene in a theater, where he is accompanied by a younger woman - one of many, but he adored one above the rest and maintained a flirtatious relationship with her while his wife remained at home across the ocean.
Yes..Sight & Sound strives to be TRUE to character of whomever they are portraying on both stage and screen - it's one of their aims and objectives that I treasure the most!!
NOAH was playing last year and I had seen the original NOAH production at the "smaller" Sight & Sound Theater back in 1996....the second production was held almost THIRTY YEARS later - 2025. Anyway...the first production, my husband invited my youngest son and his betrothed to accompany us to see NOAH and, after the play ended and upon exiting the theatre--guess what we saw in the sky--A DOUBLE RAINBOW--it was truly a "magical moment" - YAHWEH blessed us with that "affirmation" of his ETERNAL PROMISE never to destroy earth and its inhabitants via FLOOD...next time--it will be with FIRE!!!
I wonder more and more if the fire isn't going to be the truth being shown to everyone that consumes the evil people and reduces them to stubble. I also marvel that the weather modification that is happening (and causing rebounding heat, excessive storms and calamaties worldwide) mirrors what Revelations predicts. In many ways, we're bringing this on ourselves.
I'm looking for a second coming soon!
Quick question... will "A Great Awakening" eventually end up on DVD/Blu Ray? This is one I definitely want to own! I'd give copies as gifts to others, but I'm probably old school in still having a DVD/Blu Ray player, where others like to stream stuff.
What a gift to receive. I would have wept too. Blessings Justin and thank you for sharing.
Thank you for your review! I have shared it with others in case they are curious about the movie.
Thank you for this. I had seen the trailer when I went to the Melania movie. I know what I'm doing this weekend!
The British Empire moved to create their own religion called Transcendentalism. Christ was on the chopping block throughout history by the Freemasons. Remember Emerson and Thoreau?
Edgar Allen Poe began writing about it when murdered.
Founding Fathers were Deists.
Christ never mentioned.
Matthew Ehret and his wife have a great podcast on Poe.
Yes we wait in hope, the sure expectation of God’s goodness.
For we know: “The Lord is good to those who wait for Him.”
Good Friday can be summarized in one word: Tetelestai! If it finished. Paid in full. The body is laid in a borrowed tomb that will soon be empty. And that — is the greatest news — EVER. It saved this wretched soul from eternal separation from God.
Amen, amen, amen!
Hallelujah! The veil of the temple torn from top to bottom is so significant. There is no more need for God’s people to offer ritual sacrifices. Jesus paid it all.
That's a sure indication that Yeshua's sacrifical death gave all those who accept this precious gift DIRECT ACCESS to the Holy Father God THROUGH Yeshua. There is NO OTHER PRIEST we need or must 'confess' to other than the Only Begotten Son of Jehovah God. Earthly 'priests' are totally superfluous.....we can go BOLDLY to the Throne of Grace on which Yeshua is seated at the RIGHT HAND of Father God.
WHAT A WONDER indeed!
There is ONE mediator between God and man’s and that is Christ Jesus. 1 Timothy 2:5
John 17:17–19 gives us what we might describe as the theology of ordination, as Jesus consecrates the apostles in 17:17 (consecration in Christ the truth), sends them on mission in 17:18, and in 17:19, declares their consecration springs from his own consecration to the Father. Jesus commanding the apostles to “do this in memory of me” during the Last Supper (Luke 22:19) is the Synoptic account of the apostles receiving their priesthood from Jesus. In John 20, Jesus gives his apostles the power to forgive sins after bestowing the Holy Spirit upon them. During Jesus’ last appearance risen from the dead, he commissioned the apostles to minister in his name to the whole world. The Twelve were reconstituted again before the revelation of the Church to the world at Pentecost, and following Pentecost, they continued Jesus’ ministry: what Jesus began to do during his earthly ministry, he continues to do through the apostles after Pentecost.

AMEN
Indeed Sharon, no intermediary needed.
Jesus used water and wine to replace the animal sacrifice.
There was a cabal making much money selling animals on Passover. That marketing plan had to go. Society had moved from husbandry to agrarian culture.
Jesus said "this" is my body.
Bread and wine.
Trotsyites not happy.
It is very hard for me to read the OT Margot bc of all the animals being slain, so young and so many. In the Bible (I cannot recall the book and verse, God says he does not prefer animal sacrifice and I smiled and thanked God when I read that.) Blessed Easter to you Margot, He is Risen.
I have always thought “why have you forsaken me” a strange thing for Christ to have said. But then the essence of God is mystery.
My understanding is that with all our sin upon Him, God turned away. So Christ was forsaken by the Holy God in our place.
I’ve always thought that God had to turn away for the sacrifice to complete. Had he stayed looking upon Jesus He might have been moved to save Him, disrupting the sacrifice. I remember when my son at age 7 injured his toe when a McDonald’s bathroom door was whisked open from the other side. In the ER they HAD to remove his toenail and you can imagine the torture he was feeling. They told me it was necessary to avoid an even worse scenario. I couldn’t handle seeing his pain. Had I watched I would have stopped it because my heart couldn’t handle the pain he was going through. I instead ducked my head behind his body to not see, but held his hand/arm tightly. There’s so much pain we can’t handle as parents that we also can’t interrupt for the sake of our children. In those moments a child would naturally think the parent didn’t love them enough or were deserting them when the opposite is true.
Also it’s kind of hopeful when you dwell on it: in our darkest moments we can be sure that God is still there and will protect us/raise us out of the darkness. He never really forsakes us even when it feels like it.
Agreed Juju. Watching a child hurt is the worst agony for a parent. I have no doubt God the Father and God the Holy Spirit felt the same way. Blessed Easter to you and yours Juju. You and Janice are certainly great blessings to all of us here.
He was forsaken so that we wouldn’t need to be! He paid a debt He did not owe. I owed a debt I could not pay….
Yes, that statement from Jesus “why hast thou forsaken me” tells us at two things.
For one during His entire ministry He was consciously aware of the Father’s fellowship 24/7.
Secondly, what Jesus did in the earth on the cross He did by Himself and in a certain manner He did it for Himself something He personally wanted to do. He tread the winepress of God’s wrath alone.
The work that Jesus did and continues to do is all His own.
Taking away the sins of the world was something Christ would do alone. Bringing many sons to glory is another.
We don’t have to wrestle with this trying to figure it out. It was plainly foretold and lived out in the Day of Atonement ritual performed by the high priest once a year.
The dual aspects of the two goats: one was sacrificed and the other was led out into wilderness carrying the sins of people transferred to it by the laying on of the hands of the high priest. All of this elaborate ritual spoke of the future when Christ would remove the sins of the entire world by Himself.
So that all who would come in faith could find peace with God and themselves. Remember it was unbelief that originally separated us from God; it is faith in the work of His Son that reunites back to Him.
That’s beautiful, Linda
I understand the same way Janice. For the sacrifice to be made, God the Father had to turn away. I often think about God the Father and God the Holy Ghost and the anguish they must have felt watching the agony all unfold. It breaks me to think of it.
Blessed Easter to you Janice and to your family. Thank you for never failing to share scripture with us. You are very dear to all of us. He is Risen.
This is my understanding as well.
Read Psalm 22. Jesus’ words are a ‘hyperlink’ to a Psalm that describes His crucifixion.
Exactly
Not a mystery. He was praying Psalm 22. Read the whole thing, as we are meant to. It ends victoriously
Jesus was quoting Psalm 22 written by David hundreds of years earlier. When you read that whole chapter to the end, you’ll know what Jesus’ meaning. Faith in his (and our) Father to the very end. Brings tears to my eyes and yet joy to my spirit.
It is the first line of Psalm 22, written by David 1000 years earlier.
And, as @CWigles79 comments above, it's a hyperlink. We are meant to read the whole thing
Jesus Christ was fully human while on this earth, is why, and yes what a mystery. He also wept over the world upon his entrance to Jerusalem, described in Luke 19:41-44.
Jesus is the God-Man.
“Good Friday reminds us that the greatest love ever shown looked like the worst day imaginable.”
May we all remember this, during suffering, that comes to all of us in this life.
Blessed Good Friday to all.
Janice, if you want to experience this deeply, please find an Orthodox Church and attend next Thursday during our Holy Week. Holy Thursday is long, it’s exhausting, and it is a beautiful Service. In fact every Service during Holy Week is beautiful as we walk with Jesus through what he experienced. 💟✝️
Yes Connie. Holy Week is a beautiful walk with Jesus. Last nights Holy Thursday Mass was scriptural and we visited with Jesus in the Garden of Repose afterwards.
Janice, as I prayed and pondered last night....that next to the last 'saying' of Yeshua on the Calvary hill cross 'popped' into my mind and I was filled with GRATITUDE and UNENDING AWE at the SUPREME SACRIFICE the Lord Yeshua Christ offered to save humanity from its "sin bent" so we could have the SWEET SOULS OF RANSOMED BEINGS to present to our Creator upon our physical death.
"OH WHAT A WONDER THAT YESHUA LOVED ME--out of the darkness, no light could I see--OH WAHT A WONDER, He put His great arms under...and WONDER of WONDERS He SAVED EVEN ME!!"
And this was all prophesied in the Old Testament and yet Israel rejects Him. He did this for them first and then told the disciples to minister to the gentiles. And yet we have not seen and yet believed. Thank you Jesus for your mercy and sacrifice. Nothing will ever compare to this kind of Love.
Last year i watched this short film called The Soldier that brought me to tears. It was produced by a mega church near me. Very moving!
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zfJMpmhReMI
I love scripture but what does this have to do with the topic? You post bible verses every day at the top of the comments section and they take away from the discussion.
“Mercy triumphs over judgement.” Thanking Jesus Christ for His sacrifice. Like a lamb, led to the slaughter. For me.
The Bondi move makes sense. Think about baseball and how Pitchers are utilized. You have a Starter, you have middle relief, you have a setup man, and then a Closer. Each role is unique from the other; the moment you put the ball in their hands, determines how long they stay in the game. I am assuming that Bondi hit her peak value and needed relief.
I always though that about Trump. He runs things like a business man, not a politician. The company I used to work for swapped Sr VPs all the time.
He did that in his first term and as we now see, will do it in his second.
Bondi indicated two Democrats in DC. Look what happened. As I said yesterday, convicting a Democrat in DC is like getting Orcs to convict Sauron. Trying to break this lock on the DC DOJ is a herculean task and may require other skills. Normally you would use the IC to find the betrayals, but they to are deeply compromised. The globalists had decades to March through the US institutions.
Jeff may have made an error in his post today. "ActBlue is essentially the Democrats’ main online money machine: a nonprofit payment platform that launders, I mean processes individual donations for Democratic candidates and left-leaning causes, similar to how WinRed serves Republicans"
WinRed is not deeply corrupt as far as I know, and so the word "Supposedly"processes individual donations for Democratic candidates and left-leaning causes, similar to how WinRed serves Republicans" would have read better IMV. (Sorry Jeff, you can use the "convicting a Democrat in DC is like getting Orcs to convict Sauron." line anytime.
Unfortunately winred is involved in smurfing just not at democrats levels. Also unfortunately 95% of republicans are bought and paid for whores with a good percentage taking foreign money
Good philosophy. Except for the Epstein files, one could argue that she did a pretty good job, if for no other reason than all the lawsuits against the admin that they prevailed on.
I did read a good commentary today about how once you enter the swamp, the rules of engagement change, so to speak. You are now dealing with a bureaucracy that will lie, stonewall, and fight you every step of the way, and it makes it very hard to get anything done. Lowering the murder rate across the country by 20% is an accomplishment that should not be overlooked. Maybe she has done her part of the work and now the new guy comes in to take over. We have lots of questions but not necessarily many valid answers. I’m willing to wait and see how this all plays out.
I don’t actually there is a choice to waiting.. He will play this his way - remember TAW!
Personally, I believe the Epstein files will be used eventually. But it's not time. Holding those over the heads of a lot of powerful people gives Trump some leverage. And also puts him in extreme danger. These people aren't playing. I don't think any of those calls were up to bondi. Trump holds all the cards. Just like everything else he'll decide when it's time to show his hand. And that time is not yet, with yet being the operative word.
But she didn't get any of the people that Trump cares most about: Comey, Brennan, Letitia James, etc. Many conservatives feel she did a bad job. And Sohrab Ahmari said she also did a lousy job on anti-trust issues and got rid of the populist DOJ person from JD Vance that was working on those issues. Her actions with the Epstein files were embarrassing, as was her performance before the Congressional hearing several weeks ago.
Bondi didn’t get a single senior Democrat politician convicted.
Not one.
Despite their HUGE crimes:
Russia-Russia;
mass illegal immigration;
election fraud;
defrauding taxpayers (at the very least in MN & CA);
abuse of the power of the office of the POTUS by using the autopen….
Such serious crime - but ZERO convictions.
Patience, grasshopper. Bondi was phase one. I expect she played her role well. The game is not over.
Agree
Bullshit. She was a compromise and the only ag candidate he could get through confirmation in our traitorous senate. You know the traitors who are making Trump The FIRST president in history to be blocked from recess appointments by his own party. He still hasn’t even been able to get 2/3’s of his us attorney and judge appointments through. Traitors all of them. Trump should be blasting them nonstop instead he keeps endorsing rinos candidates that stab him in the back
As I said, you go to DC and convict a Democrat... (May as well go to Mordor and get the orcs to convict Sauron.)
"But she didn't get any of the people that Trump cares most about….” Not yet, but I believe at least some of them will be indicted before the midterms. Big, complex federal cases take time.
But don’t you know, wishful thinking should just make it happen! Never mind the decades thick levels of Lawfare and Federal judge corruption that have to be worked through. Trump was supposed to fix this all overnight, don’tcha know?
What some people are using to think with must be a lot lower than their heads!
My view is that Trump and his whole team know that winning the midterms is crucial. Democrats will hound them mercilessly if they win. We all know Democrats have committed many crimes, and that Trump likes bold, decisive action and wants vindication. He can take a “No one is above the law” approach that will be politically popular. He also knows timing, and indictments before the midterms will give him maximum advantage. Logic tells me this is bound to happen.
Trump never asks a question he doesn't know the answer to, and he doesn't publicly name names unless he knows he has them dead to rights with no way out.
i'm no Bondi fan. i do give her justice dept some credit. they did not 'get' comey or james but why? could it be the doj is so partisan democrat that they had trouble finding a lawyer who wouldn't throw the case? seems so. (lindsey halligan is evidence). could it be that a system tilted in favor of democrats (like NY federal judges) allowed james to wriggle free? seems so. could someone other than bondi have come in and made all these things irrelevant? i doubt it.
I've said it before, until DJT can move certain Federal cases out of DC, there will not be justice in those matters.
I don’t know anything that she actually did? I am happy to see her go. If I am wrong and missed something she did I am happy to admit it but not a fan. Patel can go also.
A lot of arrests have been made in regards to sex traffickers, hundreds of thousands of children taken during the Biden Misery have been rescued. Much progress has been made on the drugs front. I’m sure massive preparations for future arrests and prosecutions have been started and put under way.
Someone yesterday responded to someone like you with a long list of Bondi’s accomplishments.
If Jeff didn’t attract so many commenters,(like a thousand a day),I’d try to find it. I’m sure you could find some if you looked instead of spewing MSM propaganda.
Willing spirit I don’t even know where to start… in an above comment I said IMO and willing to be corrected! I do not sit and watch any legacy media and have not had cable since 2012. Your rudeness is not appreciated. Don’t be a DICK
Patti, don't choose to be offended. You're clearly terribly worked up over how someone whom you do not know responded in a short written paragraph in a way you didn't like. Take a breath and drop your offendedness. Here's what Larry Shweikart posted yesterday in the comments about Bondi:
"Bondi's DOJ has overseen and supervised (again, no lawyer but just what it appears) the most successful series of legal defenses of an administration in American history. By my count, she/DoJ has won 32-33 appeals on various aspects of Trump's agenda. She has facilitated and supported the removal of 3.5 million illegal invaders. She has, via Harmeet Dhillon, brought universities to their knees over DEI (still a couple of guerilla holdouts). In short, if you omit the "big name arrests," Bondi's DoJ is simply the most effective and successful in history. And, oh yeah, did I mention that there have been FIVE major human trafficking busts in 18 mo. Now, again, impossible to prove, but where did the leads for those busts---that have freed thousands of kiddos---come from? Gee, couldn't be the old Eppy Files, could it?"
Also I DO NOT HAVE THE TIME to sit and watch read hours of content and sift thru. That is ONE reason I come to Jeff’s blog and his comment section. Great you have time. Happy for ya. I’m busy working and try just trying to stay up on all the shit so I can be informed. It’s county, state ( I am unfortunately a Washington resident for a few more months so that’s a shit ton all on its own) and federal so when you want to be nice and not put people down for commenting come back otherwise BYEEEEEE
I like the comment section because I can and will continue to have discussion without the DICK COMMENTS! Don’t make the section like all other comment sections.
The FBI statistics for the past 12 months paint a very different picture than the criticisms thrown at Patel. He might not have accomplished the one mission people most wanted him to, but when you look at what the FBI DID accomplish it’s breathtaking, and nothing has ever been done like it before, much less in so little time. He and Bongino deserve a lot of credit for what they have accomplished. Again it’s in the numbers and numbers don’t lie like fake news or disgruntled dissenters do.
I judge them on results and theirs cannot be contested (unless you expected them to show proof Epstein killed himself and hang every last guilty participant to his world and that’s all you wanted the FBI to do.)
I wish we knew more about Charlie and all that was behind that. I believe there is more.
Many conservatives act like consumers of People magazine gossip and eat up what the media feeds.
Trump has them figured into the equation.
Yes. This notion that if someone is placed in a position, they should get to keep the position just because they have that position is immature and silly. Different players have tasks at different phases and the practice of replacing them for a next phase is the flexibility and adaptability required for strategized success.
I agree. In football, the offense will often put in the “change of pace” running back. When the defense sees the rhythm that the offense is playing, it’s much easier to defend… hence the change of pace. This makes the defense alter their approach with different personnel and/or different alignment.
Blanche is not a career bureaucrat and already has experience with players like James. Hopefully, Harmeet Dhillon gets elevated, too.
It would not surprise me to see Dhillon nominated for AG while Blanche is a distraction… a distraction with a limited and focused purpose.
I have known lawyers who were really good at assembling a case. They understood it completely, knew exactly what order everything should be introduced, but were not good at examining on the stand a witness. Pam might have set Todd up perfectly and does not want to put her family through anymore hell. I will give her the benefit of the doubt.
Can you imagine the absolute stress of that position? Good gravy, no wonder he has to swap people out!
It seems like the trad media became too comfortable in their rhetoric about her, but her performance in senate hearings left Trump supporters dissatisfied and unimpressed.
She didn't seem aggressive or bold enough and lacked grit. Like she was holding back and intentionally slow walking.
Trump needs someone unfazed, unshakable, unpredictable and intimidating.
and with lots of testosterone.
The Dems had the Epstein files for four years. There is nothing there to hurt any Dems. They left enough big names there to be juicy. Likewise that info exists still somewhere. If John Roberts was on a video wearing a pink tutu and chasing 15 year old boys around a king size bed not a chance in the world would it have been left in the files. But also not a chance they erased everything.
Think about it, anyone they want to blackmail, including Thune Roberts Mitch etc, would have been removed. Why? Because a compromised Thune on the inside being threatened is far more powerful for Dems than a disgraced Thune with a Trump ally in his place.
Same as with Roberts. They don’t want him gone. He votes with the Constitution 75% of the time. And with Ds on the big ones.
Agreed, the chain of custody looks like a middle school offensive line playing against the Seattle Seahawks.
Atlantic is the publication of the Trotskyites. Non dare oppose it.
I asked AI if Blanche would be considered Trump's war time consigliere and it said yes. There was more but it's an easy ask to replicate. Since Bondi was an AG from Florida and Blanche did not have that in his wheel house, perhaps this was a planned training period. Just sayin.
I dunno. They whiffed on Comey.
Being Holy Week and Good Friday we all should look at our world, the way the corrupt and powerful sell their souls for their 30 pieces of silver and how they crush the average working person. It’s communism versus liberty. Totalitarianism versus freedom. Good versus evil. And in the end after they crushed Jesus he rose from the dead. He in the end defeated evil.
2000 years later this carpenter calls Him my Savior, and because of Him I thrive to be a better man. Good wins in the end.
Amen
Beautiful James… a “good man wins… shares his beliefs proudly… truly rich in his faith… his namesake exemplifies the richness… James… Good.Rich… “Good wins”…. God bless you carpenter James… and thank you… this holy weekend we all thrive to be better… amen. 🕊✝️🕊
Thank You Maureen, hope you have a blessed Easter!
Amen 🙏
I was on another site today and a woman by the name of Deb was full of hate and blaming Christians and condemning them for atrocities in the world, how we are all hypocrites and that our churches are simply there for money and corporate politics. I told her she needs to find Jesus and all that ugliness toward Christians will fall away. Her words were very ugly.
This won't surprise most C & C readers; it's sadly funny:
"Analyses of doctors’ strikes in modern history have revealed a paradoxical trend: when doctors go on strike and elective surgeries are suspended, population mortality often stays the same or decreases
. A review of the literature identified 156 articles, with several key studies highlighting instances where death rates significantly fell.
The three most famous, frequently cited examples of declining death rates during doctors’ strikes are:
1. Israel (1973): During a one-month doctor strike, mortality rates dropped by 50%.
2. Bogotá, Colombia (1976): A 52-day strike by medical doctors resulted in a 35% drop in the death rate.
3. Los Angeles County, USA (1976):Doctors went on strike for five weeks over high malpractice insurance premiums, leading to an 18% reduction in mortality.
Additional instances where mortality dropped or remained steady during industrial action include Israel in 1983 and 2000, Spain in 1999, and Croatia in 2003.
I would bet that not only did fewer surgeries contribute to the lower death rate, but also fewer prescriptions for pHARMa toxic potions. I read that the morticians in Israel had such a crisis with a staggering 50% fewer deaths that they begged the government to end the strike! (https://substack.com/redirect/eb59f1c4-0a37-40a6-a637-304ebfd9e937?j=eyJ1IjoiOTgyeTgifQ.G9CN6opTAieXEVBws-vZi_yEVpE_gfX76i-T-0tu6oY)(Remember, Israel has one of the world’s most advanced, technologically innovative healthcare systems.)
We have a crisis in our land. We face fiscal demise due to exploding disease maintenance costs. The more “medical care” we give (funded by government and private insurance) the likely more adverse outcomes we will have since what gets funded is after the fact symptoms suppression chemicals. Your degeneration started in your childhood. If you have known cancer, you’re likely to have harbored the malignant cells for at least 10-20 years. Better to make lifestyle changes. Best to prevent decades before. Please remember that in your activities with your dearest ones. And again, this is why I am here to report to you, and I humbly thank you for being here for me.
To Your Excellent Health,
Robert Jay Rowen, MD"
Great observations!!! Just confirms my decision to stay as far away from allopathic medicine as possible.
That makes two of us
🙋🏻♀️ third here.
Fourth.
Fif!
Said in my best Dave Chappelle voice...
Three of us
Especially surgery.
Same!
Similar during lockdowns when suddenly infant death numbers dropped significantly. Babies missing early shots = less sids. Hmmmm….
This one really infuriates me! So much pain for families…😢
Are we having a Dr strike? Just curious if that was the reason for your comment or just in general Drs are bad for your health 😅
Not that I'm aware of. It was in an email I received this morning and I thought others would find it interesting too.
Junior doctors are scheduled to strike in the UK.
I have read that also.
Thank you
The company I work for (in California!) made Good Friday a paid company holiday starting this year. ✝️
@Kitkat meanwhile, a law firm in California that I called on Tuesday was closed in remembrance of Cesar Chavez Day 🙄 I guess they didn’t get the latest memo about him being a sexual predator. Whatever will they do?!
Probably start a practice defending accused sexual predators. It’s on a growth path.
Receipts for Chavez pdf claim please?
Based on a March 2026 investigation published by The New York Times, extensive evidence emerged detailing allegations that Cesar Chavez, the late co-founder of the United Farm Workers (UFW), groomed and sexually abused girls and women during his leadership of the union in the 1960s and 1970s.
Dordulian Law Group
Key details of the allegations reported in March 2026:
Dolores Huerta's Account: Dolores Huerta, the celebrated activist who co-founded the UFW with Chavez, publicly disclosed that Chavez sexually assaulted her in the 1960s, stating she was pressured into one encounter and forced in another. She stated these encounters resulted in pregnancies that she kept secret.
Abuse of Minors: The investigation revealed allegations from multiple women, including Ana Murguia and Debra Rojas, who reported that Chavez sexually abused them when they were 12 and 13 years old, respectively.
Reaction and Impact: Following the report, the UFW cancelled events honoring Chavez, and numerous cities and states, including California and Texas, moved to rename streets, schools, and parks, or remove holidays dedicated to him.
Family Response: The family of Cesar Chavez released a statement stating they were "deeply shocked" and "not in a position to judge" the claims, while honoring the voices of those who reported the abuse.
The Guardian
The reports have significantly impacted the legacy of the civil rights leader, shifting public perception and leading to a reexamination of his actions.
Shocked! But pleased!
Bravo!
On the Act Blue story, I think it clear what is going on- the criminal investigation is about to revealed and all of the rats ran to the NYTimes to get their alibis published in order to ensure they are not indicted along with the organization's management.
Those rats probably included an awful lot of basically whistleblowers shoring up their own defenses. They know they're dealing with Democrats scumbags that throw them to the wolves first. They likely brought tons of material to the NYT. It was too much, too good, even NYT had go with it. The damage was done, prosecution hell is coming for Act Blue, no avoiding it, so may as well get the "scoop".
This makes me SO happy! I'm so ready to do a happy dance once they get shut down and prosecuted!!
Would love to see all that money returned to the 'perported' givers - most are elderly (even if they are smurfs) on fixed incomes and it would be nice to see $18K go to an elder who needs it with prices so high now.
Wonder if they could award a portion to James O'Keefe for breaking the story - with his usual visual aides.
I will be dancing with you SHug!
But will Pam Bondi go on the podcast circuit and talk 💩 about Trump? That’ll be the real test of how friendly her departure was. I’m really tired of people doing that (looking at you, MTG). I hope she has the maturity not do it.
It would be out of (so far demonstrated) character, and I also hope she wouldn't do that.
That would surprise me. I think MTG fell for the MAGA-is-falling-apart BS and sees herself as a '28 contender hoovering up the remnants. She is the right's version of Jasmine Crockett.
Oh ya you nailed that. At least she isn’t doing rap or music videos or at least I didn’t see any 😂
Joining MTG - Tucker, Massie, A. Jones ( who seemed drunk on a recent podcast), S. Bannon. A prerequisite to joining this group is blaming Israel for Everything, including Charlie Kirk’s murder. More to come as they jockey into position for 2028 & try & eliminate the maga movement when Trump leaves.
Well, there is plenty of doubt about the present story about CK's death. It just does not make sense as it's presently being told. There was fishy stuff going on that day.
I do not know if Israel or the CIA had a hand in it or not. I do know CK turned down a generous offer from Bibi, because it came with strings. CK had also started a DOGE style audit because there was an estimated $10 million missing. Leah on substack has done some amazing digging there -
https://theleahfiles.substack.com/p/14m-to-ghost-llcs-tpusa-follow-the?
Video of damage from a 30.06
https://youtu.be/df1__OKWIZA?si=xQ2QvdwekUQFGaow
Questions are fine. Unfounded serious accusations that damage lives are not. Why not wait for the evidence to be released at trial? Seems the logical thing. Currently nobody knows what evidence the prosecution has, just speculation & theories.
I do believe the Israeli govt had a hand in CK's passing for the reason you cite. There is way more to that story we have not received. I would love to be proved wrong but I look at Bibi as the Pharisee he is.
Pam is more of a lady than MTG - & I think more loyal…
Definitely not much class with MTG.
Here she is down in the dirt with Jasmine Crockett😂🤣😂

I haven’t read your stack all the way but I want to say thank you for not stating Bondi got fired. You are very intelligent. I can see why you have so many followers. I am just amazed at the Doomers a/k/a Panicans who run their mouths about something they know nothing about. They should realize their negativity is ruining the MAGA base…just like the deep state wants.
Very frustrating because we are winning and the Doomers have completely lost it!
https://x.com/barrycunningham/status/2040060325077094753?s=20
Stay away from Alex Jones, Candace Owens, Megan Kelly, Tucker and others. These four listed never liked Trump anyway or MAGA!
I agree. I’ve turned many off, although I have never imbibed the likes of the above. I remember commenters names and just scroll past them. There are many right now. I never block anyone, however. I’m a former democrat who fled during Covid. I’m all in with Trump and it pains me to see the doomers and liars. I was close to the horrors of the left. It’s in my family , the child trans ideology writ large. Evil suffuses the left. We cannot go back. The left is a cornered animal and full-on nihilists.
I don't know about you Janet, but I would like to be able to vote for party that doesn't either push trans agenda on our children or starts unnecessary wars. What great choices we have.
@Johnny- Anyone with integrity will take out the playground bully so everyone can enjoy said playground. Unlike other presidents, this one did not start a fight for kicks-n-giggles.
"did not start a fight for kicks-n-giggles."
No, he did it for Rottchild.
Donald Trump has bombed Iran, Nigeria, Yemen, Venezuela, Iraq, Somalia, and Syria, killing innocent women, children and civilians.
What do those countries have in common?
They are remaining countries NOT on the Rottchild banking system.
You know who else is NOT on the Rottchild banking system?
Cuba.
Have you seen the videos of the Cuban people desperately begging the World for help? They have NO OIL.
No power, no hospitals, no gas, no food, no transportation. Cubans are in horrible conditions and crisis and begging the World for help.
Why? Because Donald Trump bombed Venezuela, so City of London could install a new regime and take over Venezuelan oil, and then Trump ordered a blockade to prevent ships from getting oil to Cuba. (Venezuela is one of the largest oil suppliers for Cuba.)
In March '26 Trump stated that Cuba is "going to fall pretty soon".
Yes because Trump is committing economic genocide. Trump has cut off oil to Cuba!
Why?!???
WTF did Cubans do to deserve Trump DESTROYING Cuba???
And who benefits?
Rottchild.
And who benefits when Trump started WW3 and is destroying the world economy?
Rottchild.
Take the red pill.
You have it backwards. Trump is dismantling the City of London.
New name on here? Rottchild?
Trump is the 5:30 a.m. wake up alarm. Nobody wants to hear it. Sleep is so much more pleasant. Some want to throw that clock against a brick wall and shatter it into pieces and dream on about a world that never threatens.
Contrary to the hype and public imaging, Donald Trump is a lousy businessman. Trump lost those casinos and the investors monies, and then he sold his soul to Rottchild.
Which is why Trump is president. And what Trump does benefits Rottchild. Like when Trump filled the Swamp, AGAIN, along with all those Deep State, Globalist, Rottchild banking executives, Cabal spawn, Skull&Bones, Goldman-Sachs secret society Epstein frat bros that Trump appointed, including Wilbur Ross, the EXECUTIVE MANAGING DIRECTOR OF ROTTCHILD BANKING INDUSTRIES, to be the Secretary of COMMERCE for the United States of America!
I think she means Rothchild. Old banking family.
@Proberta- Cuba destroyed Cuba. My brother in law, his parents, and siblings escaped Cuba in '63 as- YES!- actual asylees. Arguing by calling names is not a mature argument. Nice try, though. I would have listened to you had you argued like an adult.
Kitty, simple question: Why is Donald Trump killing Cuba?
@ Johnny😱Zero. The Muslim/Communist party? Well, you already got the head position in NYC and in London.
Of course, one group would have to have it out with the other for supremacy eventually, but for now it makes a good alliance for the goal of the destruction of Western Civilization.
We would be fighting this war in any event - proactive is a much better choice…!
Welcome to C&C, TexBritta. You'll love it here. The commenters are great, and you'll learn as much from them as you will from Jeff.
I’ve been reading his stacks for a while, I just don’t comment too much 👍
That’s an amazing feat! I don’t think I could make it a week without an insatiable urge to comment. 😂 Amazing self control. Lol
We love your comments Juju. We would not allow you to stay away!
Go for it! You sound common sense to me and are very welcome. We fight an army of bots on here daily and need all the help we can get.
Thx
Tex - I agree concerning the Doomers, I suspect that’s why we are here at the bar where the glasses are mostly full. Giving credit where it is do however, Alex Jones may be a Doomer but he is MAGA and Pro Trump. The main issue with the others you listed is their antisemitism. They have been compromised by the dark side in someway. I’m done with them.
Tucker is not an antisemite IMHO. He ?s the Israeli govt and their motives using us a constant source of protection. He does not like Bibi and I do not blame him. I don't either, he is a Pharisee in the truest form.
I think Candace has come up with the first variant of TDS I've seen.
Their intent IS to damage MAGA movement.
It’s to change it and make it their own, in their own image, not in Trump’s. But they can’t pi** off Trump in the process because he will bury them, which is why they attack us and not him. They can’t win others over to their team with reasoned debate, so they have to try to convert the base and claim it as their own. It’s the only way they can get enough supporters, they have to steal them, pick them off one by one like the hyenas they are.
The maga base is doing it to themselves - cheering on a war in which brothers and sisters are dying - for Israel. $39 trillion in debt and counting. Bases destroyed. Crucial global energy assets destroyed. Good stuff. Keep cheering it on though.
Ha, yeah and the Biden regime sent billions to Ukraine. Then you state trillions in debt. Well, who the hell put us in debt?
It certainly wasn’t a realestate tycoon, it was the establishment, both dems and reps.
But you certainly have a right to your opinion.
You partisans are so blind....let me help you.....Trump's first term - record deficit. Biden - new record deficit! Trump's current term - more record deficits.
Of course congress signs off on it all, but then ultimately, so does POTUS.
Speaking of Ukraine, I thought that war should have been done about 450 days ago? Nah, let's keep sending the coke head penis piano player billions.
Trump didn’t start the Ukraine war. That’s Buyden’s war. You’re losing it.
Tell me something I don't know. Trump's policies did contribute to it, however, and who was it that campaigned constantly on ending the Ukraine war on day 1 - and then continued to fund it and send weapons? That would be President Bone Spurs.
Biden is a disaster, Obama was a disaster, Trump also, a disaster.
You call this 👇🏿 a “disaster”? I call this 35 pages of prosperity 😃

You sir, do not know how to take advantage of what he’s doing for you.
Instead of whining, indulge in this prosperity instead of bitching all the time.

Listen to Barry, he will help you with your ignorance👆🏾
You are right Johnny-O ... To focus on $40Trillion in debt - That is the One True Existential Crisis NO-ONE wants to face. But, what is the SOLUTION you propose?
Far as I'm concerned There are TWO:
Austerity, cut all kinds of spending/benefits/programs; risk civil war; live like Greece not that long ago... it is one path.
The other, what you'd expect from someone like Trump (and admittedly probably NOT a long term solution) is his "Golden Age" prosperity, GDPs that restore some balance to our debt. ... That is what everyone REALLY wants, they want MORE OF THE SAME. Not Austerity, they want to cover their eyes to the future and what that portends for the Children of today... roll the dice and see if just maybe there is someway out - Maybe the Moon? Maybe Mars? Maybe Not.
BUT YES! (as said elsewhere):
THIS! is what I voted for and have been waiting to see out of D.C. (out of the NYTimes is a Surprise!)... but hopefully this means things are headed the right way:
(P.S. - If "ActBlue" has grown stale - Think... Sam Bankman-Fried's FTX Cyrpto corruption & his parents (his Mom's/Stanford University based: "Mind the Gap") Billions in Crypto Fraud and the ActBlue fraud, a billion to Stacey Abrams via Nonprofits in Georgia; Whitmer's $20 Million to Faye Beydoun here in Michigan, Old Folks everywhere being asked why they seem so poor; but supposedly repeated low dollar donations were being made to DNC in their names???; etc.etc.etc.)
it's a long path... no easy fix... but need to start by burning that B.S down!
From years of exposure to Johnny Zero here, he doesn’t have any solution. Like a good Muslim/communist, he’s just about tearing down Western Civilization. Thus, never has a good word to say about America or Israel.
Or...stop the war.
Trump and Bibi's war to steal Iran's oil is costing the American taxpayers $1BILLION dollars a day!
Could be Short sighted.
Try:
-EU takes over Iran/Hormuz issues,
-continues to pay more for their NATO defense; while we pay less.
-due to positioning and desire for OUR assets less war needed everywhere and
-Muslim extremists can be sent home (everyone missed: https://apnews.com/article/eu-migration-deport-asylum-return-hub-detention-c66ca47aa73c0d0ad3477c8c23cebc50 ).
If Trump keeps it short as he keeps saying, may be one of the best “investments” we’ve ever made.
Respectfully, it isn't my responsibility to come up with the solution. I'm not in DC.
I would start by doing some heavy auditing of the pentagon, and decreasing spending by 50% - not increasing it by 50% as Trump would like, which is utterly bananas. China and Russia combined don't even spend that much and have far more to show for their meager expenditures than do we.
Begin diverting subsidies from large MNCs to small business owners. When we put money in the hands of many small business owners that money stays in the economy. Billionaires getting fat bank accounts doesn't help our economy.
And of course, something must be done about the FED. Why do we have to pay interest on our own money? The never-ending debt trap must end.
Now You’re talking … appropriate cuts good idea!
(DOGE? Fraud? And Yes Military… once threats are minimized) add that to prosperity and opportunity in the stars and via some optimism… and there may very well be a 3rd or 4th way out!
Thanks!!!
it's the uniparty of Rotschild
war-profiteers gonna profit
Agree
I would like to guest that you actually research who is owed the majority of that $39 trillion debt. You will be surprised when you see who it is. It’s not other countries or even banks.
I am MAGA and listen to Tucker as his guests are very interesting and bring another side to at least consider. With respect, I do not believe Tucker is anti-Trump. I believe he is very frustrated with him and his connection to Bibi and getting into this war.
Happy Easter to you TexBritta.
At Mass last Sunday our priest asked if we'd even be able to ride the donkey to Jerusalem, knowing what was in store. Can you even imagine?
I cannot. It is unimaginable. The Chosen brings Christ's story to life and there is a scene when it is Palm Sunday and the actor who plays Jesus is very good and you can see the happiness yet the anguish on his face knowing what is in store.
Like riding the Covid jab.
Today is the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, a High Day Sabbath, after Passover Day. Exodus 13:6-10. This commemorates Yahweh bringing Israel out of Egypt, which represents sin. It also foreshadowed the time of the Messiah who gave his life as the Passover Lamb for our sins. Unleavened bread represents sound doctrine and removal of sin from our lives and hearts. These are commanded observances, "a statute forever throughout your generations", Lev. 23:41. Yahshua the Messiah kept His Father's commandments, and set the example for us. The Apostles and early believers all kept the statutes and Sabbaths.
This year the count toward Pentecost, the Feast of Weeks, begins on April 5, after the weekly Sabbath, making Pentecost May 24.
I belonged to a sort of Protestant church that did celebrate those days and the week of the feast of unleavened bread. It was a very moving time

Dave, I have been wanting to go to our local synagogue and sit with the Rabbi and ask why they reject Jesus. Why they are so hateful about Him. It hurts me that they reject Him when he fulfilled scripture and it is right there for all of them to see. Do you have any suggestions on how to approach the Rabbi so he knows I am in earnest and wanting to understand?
First? (Edit: sorry, just happened and I couldn't resist. 😁) Where do I pick up my trophy?
We have a stash of them in Jeff’s C&C closet. : )
They’re in a burn bag
😂
LOL, good one Peter!
🏆 Congratulations, Curtis 🏆
Today is going to be a wonderful day for you!
Yep. Beat me to it!
Trophy is being sent by Amazon. Should be on your doorstep in a few days.
Well done!!!!!
It's in the mail.
The USPS? Oh dear.... that could be awhile, if it arrives at all.
Can’t hear the audio
Keeps saying it processing
There are decades when weeks happen and weeks where decades happen. This is one of those eras where the latter is the case. We are seeing a reordering of the Post WW2 world order.
Have a blessed Good Friday all. 🙏🏻🌷
Good Friday morning C&C!

Okay, listen up all you Epstein fanatics:
What you do not understand is that it was Trump’s DOJ that originally tried to get these files released and the Obama Judge said hell no. Then they took it to the appeals court and it sat there. I got so much stuff on this and his other rape cases which are all BS. All you have to do is go looking into court documents and draw your own conclusions. Not one of these woman proved they were raped by Trump.
It’s an Obama judge that didn’t release the Epstein grand jury witness testimony documents.
Here is the original case👇🏿
https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.flsd.693993/gov.uscourts.flsd.693993.4.0_1.pdf
https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/70892755/in-re-grand-jury-05-02-wpb-07-103-wpb/
read the pleadings in the docket report 👆🏾
Why didn’t Biden’s DOJ file pleadings to unseal grand jury testimony? 👇🏿Hum?
The Biden administration's Department of Justice (DOJ) did NOT file a complaint to unseal grand jury testimony related to Jeffrey Epstein. Instead, the DOJ had previously sought to unseal grand jury materials, but federal judges have consistently denied these requests. Well why not?
The DOJ had previously stated that it fulfilled its obligations under the Epstein Files Transparency Act by releasing all required documents. Everyone go read it!
If you honestly believe the victims are screaming for exposure of their rapists then think again. Until THEY challenge and adjudicate THEIR signed NDAs there’s not a thing the DOJ or Trump can do about it. They signed a deal with the devil in which they cannot expose the names of their rapists . What they got in return are millions and they definitely made their counsel happy. Do you honestly think Trump’s DOJ is stupid enough to break the law and have these attorney vultures go after them legally?
In response to the claims, the Epstein Victims’ Compensation Fund (VCP) was established. This fund allowed survivors to file claims against Epstein's estate without going through lengthy court battles. The VCP distributed over $121 million to 135 survivors before it closed in 2021.
NDAs are designed to protect the privacy of the victims and the details of the settlements. Which means their rapists can never be exposed. They did this to theirselves and they made sure to manipulate these women. Now they scream. Anyone that has a little knowledge of NDAs should know this.
Epstein ain’t going away cause ignorant people will make sure of it. Trump knows the outrage and I’m willing to bet he’ll be forced via congressional vote (again) to release ALL documentation. I think that’s what he wants. I guess we will see. But they released what they legally could.
I cannot believe the ignorance of people when it comes to the legality of this Epstein saga! The rapists, the evil doers got what they wanted from the very beginning and the women sold their soul for money. If they want them exposed then by all means challenge your NDA in a court of law or just shut up about it.
Democrat representatives are banking on their base to stay this ignorant. This is all they have and when you start digging you realize how uneducated the democrats really are.
Epstein, Epstein, Epstein!
With all due respect, get educated or stay ignorant on this issue.

I have looked in to this too and am frustrated with people who don’t bother to investigate and see why exactly the law will not allow Trump or anyone to create a sideshow just to satisfy their gross ignorance.
I wish I could heart this more than once. I don't know the details and timeline but I knew that this all pre-dated Trump and my gut said if there was anything against Trump or any Republican, a release would have happened under BO or Biden. And the victims signing an NDA and then crying for the news cameras are pathetic--it's clear that they had buyer's remorse because if they could name names, they would have.
Good use of Common Sense!
This makes sense. I will screenshot the links for later, but on the surface it seems the most logical explanation. Wondering about the woman who was recently found dead from ‘suicide’. Did she challenge her NDA or did she never sign one to begin with? Virginia…
No, she did not sign one. I can find that for you. Funny, my instincts told me to look at that.
Great minds and all that 😉
Thank you for your excellent information. I knew nothing about the court listener site nor the Epstein Victims' Compensation Fund nor did I have a deep understanding of NDAs. You have educated a lot of us. Thank you.
Thank you. Very kind of you! I do have quite a bit of legal experience and background so I went digging…lol
If anyone can create a leak about this, it is God. He can perform miracles as we know so I hope and pray God has a plan to expose the rapists so arrests and punishments can begin. Thank you for this comment. BTW, Sayer Ji has a substack going into depth on Epstein and all his connections. You many be interested in checking him out sometime.
Wow, a little Shakespeare sprinkled in today's substack! Haven't thought of that quote since high school..."something wicked this way comes".
Have a blessed Good Friday and Easter Sunday!
