Global crash, Trump tariffs bite; 25% of Earth seeks deals; China reels, EU buckles; UK flips; inflation, oil down; Main Street cheers; was a market reset the plan all along? And much more.
Good morning Jeff and the C&C army! For regulars who don’t know me (hi! 👋), I co-authored The War on Ivermectin with the inimitable Dr. Pierre Kory, plus a stack of other books and a snarky Substack that refuses to behave.
This weekend I did what any completely normal person would do after several cups of coffee and passing one-too-many ignorant protestors on the roadside: I launched a Change.org petition urging RFK Jr. to immediately and permanently yank the COVID so-called-vaccines off the market and investigate every last criminal involved in their production, promotion, and peddling.
Please sign and share if you think zero liability and billions in profits are NOT the recipe for public health. :)
It's worse than offering it to pregnant women. The government is including four Covid shots, along with 33 shots by the time a child is 12 months old, including one Covid shot in utero.
Agree, the vax attack on our kids is disgraceful and criminal. This paper by Paul Thomas MD backs your point in spades, see its Fig-5 (https://www.mdpi.com/1660-4601/17/22/8674) -- note, this solid paper was retracted due to pressure on publisher by big pharma.

Even worse is that all things mRNA are unsafe and all vaccines are rapidly being converted to mRNA. Why all mRNA is unsafe is pretty easy to understand -- see reply to Jenna below. Please help alert everyone to these facts so that the carnage can be stopped.
In Massachusetts they are still promoting covid shots for 6 month old babies and older. I try not to let rage in the door but knowing this causes a visceral reaction in me. And I have witnessed the pressuring/bullying as I work with the (vulnerable) refugee population.
I recognize this as the left's hubris, which will ultimately backfire on them through "natural selection." The entire Massachusetts fixation on woke policies will eventually reduce the population, perhaps precipitously. We will lose representation in Congress, and the entire Democrat house of cards will collapse with a generational return, shifting back toward the Truth of what is real. Their abuses will come to a sickly end.
Said this last week on my post-dems will self depop caused by being voodoo dolls for the covid jabs and all jabs for that matter. I have tried to help everyone and let them know about this poison but only received backlash from those blue pilled. I no longer open my mouth to warn them. They are on their own.
Dr. Mary Talley Bowden on a podcast with Tucker Carlson said that on the Childhood Vax Schedule, by 9 months old, a child would have 3 coivd jabs already. This makes me sick to my stomach. Time to burn this all down for good and start over. We cannot allow "them" to depop us or our children. Vile to the nth degree.
Kathleen, off topic, but , I asked about h pylori at the VA. The doctor brushed it off “ everyone has that, we don’t treat it “. Meanwhile, my husband keeps giving it to me and my leaky gut is not healing. They’re very deaf at times.
@Rosalind Here's a link to my partner, https://mycuravida.com/, talk to Denise, she'll guide you to Functional Integrative Medicine Testing for Gut Dysbiosis / Leaky Gut.
You’ve got this! Start with “Undoctored” and “Super Gut”, both by Dr. William Davis. Then read anything else he’s written. You will fix both your bacterial overgrowth and your problem with conventional medicine. 😄
Agree. Dr. William Davis’ book SuperGut is great. Read the book and get started! Family member is following the protocol. Replaced the bacterial overgrowth with good. Within 30 days the bloating subsided, stomach discomfort gone, the belt was cinched in 3 notches, weight began to self-correct, and now, after 150 days see scales at 195 from a start of 222. Pretty good for 82 year old man. Continuing the program.
@Rosalind try designs for health G.I. revive and their sister product floramyces. Expensive and it may take you a few months to fix but it turned things around for me!! I don’t work for them btw. But, wish I did. I love their products. They’re some of the best on the market.
I’m working with an integrative medicine doctor for mold and biotoxin illness. Doing the Ritchie Shoemaker protocol and getting tested for Lyme soon. I will ask him about this. Thanks. I don’t do anything without doc knowing, counterproductive.
So interesting you say that-a friend who is a retired pharmacist recently said my husband should be tested for that as he takes omeprazole daily for GERD and she said it may be because of this bacteria .
PEL - i took omeprazole for a very long tim3 as the docs kept saying to continue to take it and my gastro problems got worse. Took initially for abdominal ulcers ulcers which were cleared up but then I developed gerd. Fiinally did my own research and found that the drug was created as a short term solution ..... weeks or a few months. I was tested for bacteria ... nothing. I had been taking it for many years and getting worse. I weaned myself off the medicine and began adjusting my food intake. Have been off medicine aboout 2 years and feel better than I have for 25 years! Just sharing so you and your husband might consider making somme changes yoourselves.
H pylori is causative in many cases of gastritis and ulcers. There’s a fairly easy breath test for it now (among other test options). Your doctor can order it before and after treatment to determine effectiveness of whatever tmt you chose. It is a bacteria, so most treatment options include antibiotics. I’m not familiar with some of the alternative suggestions here. Thanks all!
I had given up anything acidic and the med had shut acid production in stomach so I need to start over getting a regular diet back and I did one thing at a time. I added back orange juice, tomato juice and tomatoes, diet soda (stopped it tho - just not good for anyone. After adding I would wait a few days to see how I responded and then add something else. I was methodical and slow and it took over a year but now I eat whatever I want that’s reasonable and my digestion is greatly improved. I drink lots of water and eat a variety of protein, carbs, veggies, fruit and sweets in small amounts. I would recommend a full blood work panel and perhaps a scan or even endoscopy to be sure there is nothing else going on. I did. I now believe the medication was creating more of a problem than I had before! Hope this helps!
Not true. Find a good naturpath who can get you on fenbendasol or a specific anti-parasite protocol. My niece is fully recovered, but lost 60 pounds before being treated.
Is criminal in my view! Please note also that all things mRNA are unsafe, and why this is is pretty easy to understand -- see reply to Jenna below. Is important for everyone to be alerted to this fact so that the carnage can be stopped, since all vaccines are rapidly being converted to mRNA.
And the military is still forcing not just Covid vaxes and the booster, but all of the other nasty shots on recruits. Where is Hegseth on this? Where is the right to say no?
This needs to happen..oh PLEASE! My ex is taking me to court to try to force the covid and HPV shots...all out of spite. We are in a blue state. Please pray that HHS, RFK, Bhattacharya, et al DO THEIR JOBS.
Gardasil -pure evil. So much data covered up and so many victims. Dr's push that crap on so many and the industry plies on the parent's fears. If we had only known.
Without even talking to me, my ex-husband got our daughter the first shot of the series. When I found out, I was fit to be tied. I went to the doctor's office and made it clear that if they give her another one, there would be hell to pay. I left no doubt in their minds that I was DEAD serious. She didn't get any more. I also let her dad know. In no uncertain terms.
She should share what she knows, so other parents can see what they're exposing their children to. When my daughter became a teenager, Gardasil was just being brought to market. I read somewhere about a girl who'd been left paralyzed in the trials, and decided I would wait A LONG WHILE before even considering this for my daughter.... Then our pediatrician wanted to give it to our 9 yr old son.... I hit the ceiling!!! Thankfully, my daughter is now in her 30's and knows better... These people are criminals in white coats.
Well, I would be willing. I would come prepared, but I don’t have any great credentials, I am just a retired family doctor. Where do you live? There may be someone from the Independent Medical Association 🏥 or the Vaccine Safety Research Institute with better credentials who you could get to testify. Also Warner Mendenhall’s lawyer group, but they are busy.
Send me a DM (direct message) in this app. if you are serious.
As we all should be. Until the jabs are off the market, immunity removed from Pharma (retroactively if possible), people are in jail or worse, the childhood vaccine schedule is destroyed, full informed consent for shots (meaning RFK’s placebo controlled vaccine studies done) we should stay engaged and enraged.
I was amazed that Tucker was amazed to hear what Dr Bowden said. He's nothing if not well-informed but he was shocked at things that we who are awake (not the same as woke) have known all along.
Me too! I pretty much know the depth and breath of the bio-weapon/democide side of things. And yet, just hearing it all poignantly anew sends me ballistic.
I listened in on some of the top investment people yesterday, including one guy heavy into the mining sector. I've been listening in on these folks for years now ... and they are very, very smart people. One standout was a discussion on AI and robots, and robots taking over most jobs. Very much on their minds are the problem of what to do with some seven billion people rendered redundant and useless, and who will not really be needed. And also, problems with a dysfunctional guaranteed income payment system for billions of people. Although not directly bluntly stated, It was clear to me that these people suspected that whoever is running the show would not mind 'disappearing' billions of people. Personally, I always thought about all of this once I first figured out in 2020/2021 what was going on with the Covid Terror Campaign.
Print and highlight proof and stories about the harm vaxxes cause. CHD children's health defense has a lot of info to start. IDK how old the child is but I would tell them and let them beg dad not to vax as well. I would also let him know it will cause damage even decades later and his children will know who to blame.
He won't read the studies since he believes “the science” without question.
Find articles and stories about the harm and primt/highlight specific parts so it will be hard not to see since he won't read all of it. Keep it simple and let your kids see it too.
Science is not all truth. It is questioning what we believe to be true and learning from it IMO.
Tell your ex that the female doctor who helped develop gardasil later admitted "it doesn't work, it wasn't well researched, and it's dangerous". Steve kirsch said it was the most dangerous vaccine on the market until the covid shot came on the scene
Do you live in a state that gives you exemptions from the childhood vaccines? If your state allows them, then the court needs to allow them as well. More than likely a judge will not listen to the potential harms of vaccines but needs to be reminded of the law of the state.
There are exemptions, but I can't unilaterally submit a religious exemption for the kids if he doesn't agree with it. Divorced parents are really in a bind. Trust me, I am thinking of/exploring all the angles.
I assume this is relating to forcing kids to take these shots? There is an excellent RFK Jr video from a previous year where he explains that you're more likely to get injured by the HPV shot than protected from anything by it. Dr. Suzanne Humphries said that's one you can avoid and be better off than if you took it! Just like the covid shot
It only gave me the options to either pay or refer someone, giving their email address out without their permission. I won't do either of those things. Is there a way around this? I want to sign but agree that change.org was probably not the best choice of platform.
I signed the petition, but I didn’t donate or share. I think there’s an option to skip at the bottom, probably in very small print. I don’t remember exactly how it was worded, it was a day or two ago…
Not a fan of the imagined market of Covid products like Ivermectin and other things of the Wellness Co. Think Kory is a psyop who bought into an imagined virus to capitalize. Would not use any commercial product from that era.
Ivermectin is not the sole property of The Wellness Co. Farmers and ranchers have been using this drug for years!!! There are also African countries that have used Ivermectin long before covid due to its anti-parasitic properties! It works and is not a gimmick!!! At least we have witnessed results!!!!
Agree on all points prior to COVID. At this point with all of the controlled opposition, it is hard to confirm the safety of an commercial pharma product. The psyop is deep, as I can tell from the comments. I suspect that sodium bicarbonate to balance the ph may be most effective for colds and flu, which is what we should call the imaginary pandemic. Many hucksters are still out there.
(Deb: use of multiple exclamation points makes you look nutty. I agree with your points, but try periods instead - they make your point calmly and assertively, without making you appear to be trying to convince yourself. Just a friendly tip from an ally).
The Pharma companies that are paying you to post this are not getting their money’s worth. Kory has a clinical practice, isn’t marketing anything. Wellness Company is different & I would bet anything that their profits absolute or % pale in comparison to big Pharma.
Especially since Dr. M has lawsuits to cover. Thank you for posting this. Both docs with others like Dr. Marik, Dr. Cole, Dr. Talley Bowden and the rest are heroes.
Ivermectin is the REAL deal, nothing "imagined" about it. Many millions could have been saved if Big Pharma had not effectively banned it during the Covid scam.
Also IMO... Dr. Kory is a good man and legit.
The Wellness Company, IMO, is very smelly and to be avoided.
I have to agree. Ivermectin is not the magic miracle drug people seem to believe it is. It's another pharmaceutical with side effects. I also agree that people are making big money of imagined viruses.
I disagree. There's an ever growing body of research showing great effectiveness on various cancers, and IVM is one of the safest drugs ever developed--WAY safer than Tylenol, for example.
Kory was the doctor of record determining the cause of death for George Floyd. Made hundreds of thousands with a group that disappeared called Frontline Critical Care Doctors, promoted diagnosis of a non existent disease without any symptoms and had a quick book deal on Ivermectin. Controlled opposition runs deep in the scamdemic.
Great interview with Bowden, and it is way "past time to STOP this crime against humanity" -- is disgraceful and criminal. This paper by Paul Thomas MD backs fact that pediatricians are either ignorant or complicit in this crime, see its Fig-5 (https://www.mdpi.com/1660-4601/17/22/8674) -- note, this solid paper was retracted due to pressure on publisher by big pharma.
__________
Even worse than all the conventional shots being forced on kids is that all things mRNA are unsafe and all vaccines are now rapidly being converted to mRNA. Why all mRNA is unsafe is pretty easy to understand -- see reply to Jenna below to learn why, and then please help spread these facts to everyone so that the carnage can be stopped.
Someone else just told me that and I checked--it looks like they took it down. Under my profile it says "0 petitions." I am livid. I've emailed them with screenshots; we'll see what they say. Thanks for trying. :(
Thanks Jenna! Nicole Shanahan stated this administration listens to what the people say.
These shots need to be pulled off the market. In a medical freedom chat group, someone asked about lawyers as her friend lost their 14 year old after the covid booster.
whaaat?! ya mean the three miracle quackccines aren't safer and more effective against the CoVid 19 virus than deadly, conspiracy-kook touted, off-label horsepaste dewormer? I mean every impartial journalist and medical expert could actually be liable for misinforming and mal-instructing millions if that were true!
Let me re-frame this; REAL doctors, globally, were initially treating hundreds or thousands with HCQ, Ivermectin, Z Pack, and other things RATHER THAN simply doing a PCR test, shrugging shoulders and sending people home with NOTHING other than a flimsy mask til they got a turbo dose of pneumonia and REQUIRED over-run emergency room admission and ventilation, whereby DEATHs with CoVid could be Purposefully Elevated.
Then, way late in the game, some rationed Remdesivir, and even later, Paxlovid and other "safe and effective" "CoVid-targeting" anti-virals were developed and approved as the only Officially Endorsed ways to treat symptoms and spare one a gruesome death in isolation.
This is where Medical-Pharma-Media-Gvt. complex sits yet today. AI's assessment of benefit-risk of all of these products would be more honest and factual than asking one's personal doctor or pharmacist.
I so agree with you Jenny!! Signed. It’s been 4 years since the darn things rolled out and still no one is being held responsible!! Also, and I believe he is planning to, remove the immunity the vaccine companies have.
Nothing will happen. Rfkjr is very captured.. Too many rides on Lolita Express. Ex-wife was friends with Ghislaine, then, was suicided because she discovered a little black book of her husband's EpEscapades. Tip of the iceburg. He's in his hhs position for pure optics. He and djt (vax daddy) were heavily invested in the jabs. It's about Agenda 2030. It's about depopulation.
He may be captured but he's been doing good at cleaning house at the FDA and CDC. I guess we'll see if that makes any difference. Pharma had deep pockets and can just buy new people. I saw comments on the leftist Yahoo following a story they posted about a kid dying of measles complications(allegedly) and the over-whelming majority were very pro-vaccine, anti-RFK(one called him the angle of death) and even very supportive of the covid jabs, which even a blind person can see killed thousands. So, I'd say the vast majority of the American population is "captured" and I see no way of getting through to them. They are completely brain-washed by the mainstream media and pharma.
As Dr. Bowden pointed out on the Tucker interview, Makary at the FDA has the power to halt the mRNA death jabs right now, but has failed to do so.
So it doesn't seem like any serious cleaning is going on at the FDA.
Seems more like a few sane people were put into top health positions subject to shutting up about the death jabs. Pretty sure that if any one of them were to tell the truth now, Trump would fire him instantly, because Trump is still so in love with Operation Warp Speed.
Yes he’s no good. Like the rest of the Cabinet. All deep state in my opinion. Nothing is getting done as it should be. Seth Rich truth still isn’t out after 10 years. 60 years for JFK and MLK! When we see that and RFK Sr. Then everyone will be as awake as they can. After that day, we will all be one big huge group all on the same side and that 2% (Deep State, Cabal, Globalist, whatever name you choose) now are gone. And that 2% now will be the Snorers!!! Or the ones in the Matrix still. But, if your family is still asleep, we will all still be together in the end. Read this. It’s Beautiful.
He has had his nose in the scumbag Rabbi Shmuley's rear recently... and called the Palestinians the "most pampered people in the world"... yep, Froggy is a turd.
Thank you! I hope RFK Jr does just that. I an still seeing signs at the pharmacy reminding us to get our covid and flu jabs. Walgreens has a commercial showing a pregnant woman and her young son getting their covid-flu shots. It makes me sick knowing all that we now know about the risks, injuries and deaths from these past few years.
That said, reco also doing a follow-up petition, to end all mRNA shots, given that: (a) all things mRNA are unsafe, because they cause the body to attack itself, and (b) all shots, including those for children, are rapidly being converted to mRNA.
Everyone, please alert all you know of this danger, especially parents with young kids. It is also much easier to understand/prove why all mRNA shots are harmful, using the basic immunology info ref’d below, than it would be for the covid part.
__________
The main reason for all mRNA being unsafe, which does not go away even if all poison and bioweapon parts are removed, is that all cells which have made proteins per mRNA instructions will be violently attacked by body’s immune system, designed to destroy all cells that have made non-self-proteins (like those from mRNA).
Any MD pushing mRNA is either ignorant or complicit given that the immunology basics presented by Bhakdi can be confirmed by the info in Chapter-1 of the med-school textbook, “Roitt's Essential Immunology”. A free pdf can be found online.
For what it’s worth, here is a summary of the fundamental flaws in all mRNA uses, as noted by Bhakdi, Yeadon, and others.
* When a cell is infected by mRNA, it is tricked into making foreign, non-self-proteins, which essentially marks this mRNA-infected cell for violent death by “complement” (killer system #2 in body).
* So mRNA causes the body to attack itself, making all things with mRNA unsafe:
___* Blood vessels are damaged first, causing blood clots and leaks, which then enable damage to surrounding organs
___* Above mechanisms explain, at a high-level, sudden death and most other mRNA injuries
Sometimes you have to play net zero sum games in order to get the other party to capitulate. We win in the end because no other country can win a game that declares the winner as the one to lose the slowest.
Buckle-up, it'll be bumpy, but Main Street is far more important than Wall Street.
Thats what Trump is using tariffs for.
I wouldn't get too "worried" by what all these so-called experts and politicians are saying.
Afer all, they're the same people who want us to keep doing what got us $40 trillion in debt, and hollowed out our manufacturing base, while they fattened their wallets, all the while the American worker became more productive but got paid less.
re: "Our stock market is down, a good bit, but the foreign markets are crashing."
Does everyone remember Peter Navarro? He was one of the Trump team gentleman who the unelected, treasonous biden faux administration locked up (meaning took away his freedom and locked him in a fucking jail cell) for 4 months for failing to go before the bullshit J6 Star Chamber - as was Steve Bannon. Don't ever forget what they did to them and all the J6 people who were unlawfully locked up by biden and that MF'er merrick garland and their team of criminals.
With all that said Navarro is back in the fight as a key POTUS advisor! Here is an excellent interview of Navarro by Maria Bartiromo's stand in yesterday, pertaining to tariffs, etc. It is MUST watch if you want the truth instead of the lies from the MSM: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3dv8FFTBSU Please, I urge everyone, take the time to watch it, you will be glad you did, and then send it to any indoctrinated lunatics you may have in your life so they too can become informed. It and the excellent information provided by Jeff C in his 4 Apr post: https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/the-first-seal-friday-april-4-2025 are excellent primers for those seeking to understand the truth of the situation.
I like watching Maria's interviews, but I do find her voice a problem. I turn down volume to limit her reach (screech?), I cannot hear the other--Brooke Rollins, this a.m.
I don’t know about her voice, but she looks way too much like Sophia Loren for me to discount her. Classic Roman look, a true beauty. Ok, well maybe not as stunning as Sophia, but you get the point.
Trump is maximizing America First leverage. The Globalists, Wall Street, Hedge Funds, E.U. And the CCP are on their heels. Margin Calls and manufactured Hysteria are driving the much needed Stock Market correction. It will take years to reshore Manufacturing back to America but, in the long run America will be in a much better place.
The reactions this morning are all spot-on! Armstrong just posted the longest post I've seen from Armstrong, 14 minute read...................................................
Why is Trump Using Tariffs? The Truth That Has Misled the World on Tariffs
Posted Apr 6, 2025 By Martin Armstrong
For all the criticism of Trump and the risk of a global trade war, as Macron wants to unleash a trade war to elevate France to the top of the EU, if we just look at the data, we can see why Trump has taken this approach. Even those Republicans like Rand Paul joining the Democrats in calling tariffs a tax, none of them are looking at this issue objectively or seriously. Under the Biden Administration, not only was there a wholesale invasion of illegal immigrants, but on the trade front, he paid no attention at all, and most seemed to assume he was too senile to pay attention.
They are resoundingly calling Trump insane, mainly because they have something to lose. Free Trade has been one-sided. There is a risk that France will push to impose trade barriers against others to support their Marxist agenda. That will be devastating, but we see the world economy headed into a recession for the USA, yet a Depression for the EU. The fact that Trump imposed a 10% tariff on the UK but 20% on the EU is actually driving a wedge between Starmer’s dream of overruling BREXIT to get back into the Marxist utopia of the EU.
In addition, the belligerence of Macron is having an impact. There is a growing discontent with the European Union and the 20% tariff on the EU, with Macron vowing that full retaliation may prove to be the wedge that starts the fragmentation of the EU. Hungary has its own currency and can quickly leave the EU and resume trade with both the USA and Russia. Ukraine has long suppressed the Hungarian people trapped within the boundaries of Ukraine. The same is true for all of those members questioning the EU yet did not join the euro....
...To argue that the tariffs were even a significant cause of the Great Depression is really ridiculous. It was the product of Democratic propaganda to blame the Republicans for everything, which worked in the end. The real cause that wiped out the world economy came from Sovereign Debt Defaults. Because these were sold in small denominations to the average public, those who believed the stock market was risky and bought bonds suffered the total loss of their investment.
Here is a chart of the bonds that were once listed on the New York Stock Exchange. We can see the collapse in the value of bonds dwarfed that of equities. While the Dow Jones Industrials collapsed by 89%, the bonds collapse 100% and never returned. The collapse in debt saw American municipal also suspend payments. The City of Detroit suspended debt payments in 1937 and resumed in 1963 so they can claim they never defaulted.
The collapse in the bond markets was far more serious than tariffs.
And a lot of Europeans have had it with Brussels and the EU and bankers like Macron. Just look at Marine le Pen and the AfD as examples of 'democracy' in action. There's a huge surge of national populism. Trump's tariffs are absolutely supporting this. Why else would the EU globalists be freaking out so much? They are haemorrhaging power all over.
Stock crash = recession, bond crash = depression. True.
But, we are in a sovereign debt crisis. I believe Trump has the tools and the guts to pull us back from the brink, but the problem is this mountain of debt is too much.
Option A: Inflate the debt away - the end game of all fiat currency (hyperinflation)
Option B: Default on debt. Bonds go to zero. Chaos.
Option C: Try to push the problem down the road in the stairstep inflate/recession
...in other words, destroy the international banking debt system and cartel! Trump is "going to the mats" against the financial slaver cartel and against the Marxist/drug cartels. This is what winning a war looks like.
It's an entire program of Restructure of Western World ... all areas of endeavor. Not only here, but the smashing of Globalism in the UK and Europe is essential for the program to succeed. This is what we are seeing. The political component to smashing Globalism in Europe is clearly seen in Vance's remarks, but also in support of reversing what was done to Marie Le Pen.
I agree with Armstrong. It is the fake popular conventional to blame Smoot-Hawly for the depth of the Great Depression. The real truth is that Roosevelt drained billions of dollars out of the American economy through gold bullion purchases, purchases which pushed US gold reserves to around 19,000 tons versus around something like 8,000 today. It really comes down to No Money circulating, No Work.
The only danger I see is the division of our politics from a competitive left/right model in which both parties held all economic classes into a model now that is the affluent versus the working class. Democrats are becoming more like the 18th century Jacobins who took Paris into the Terror. A poll of Democrats found that 55% said assassination is an appropriate response to political opponents. When a society shifts most of its wealth to the top, as Scott Bessent described yesterday, political destabilization is not far off.
The darkness has been in charge so long that it is taking time for that to lift in many hearts and minds. The people held by the darkness are actually afraid of the Light. Kind of like what happens with cockroaches.
I am not fickle. On board the MAGA train for the long haul. No one is perfect and rides are bumpy yet if what we want comes to fruition, best days ever!
Sure, but how is everyone (here) seeming to miss the elephant in the room - that a massive recession hurts main street, then the billionaire class buys up more assets of ours for pennies on the dollar? I think Jeff is correct in saying that crashing the stock market may be part of the plan, but it isn't to help we the people - it is to further consolidate wealth amongst the richest on the planet. 2/3 of Americans live paycheck to paycheck We aren't the ones who will be buying when the market is low - it is the Warren Buffets of the world.
The problem is "main street" is based on a total misallocation of resources AND labor as a result of the liberal financialization of the labor market. The "hurt" to Main Street will only be the adjustment and reallocation of labor to actual, real productivity. This "hurt" will be short-lived as the US market begins to boom as a result of industry returning to the US. Likewise, the fall in the US stock market, where Main Street has their retirement funds, will quickly find a bottom and recover. However, the crash overseas, especially in the EU, is not going to be so kind. See the Armstrong link I posted.
Yes, the smart oligarchs will see this coming and buy into the bottom. Those that backed the liberal Marxist agenda and didn't get out ahead of time are only going to have huge losses.
Trump is taking on the entire world, and he's starting to win regardless of what the CIA mainstream whore media and the Blackrock-Vanguard-Rothschild bankster controlled stock markets are telling you. This is the biggest economic revolution since 1913 and the banksters want YOU and Trump to capitulate, and embrace their fiat economic serfdom forever. Todd Callender and Lee Vliet are back to discuss the latest, including receipts!
Again, most people don't directly own stocks - they have retirement funds that are invested in the market. This has a very real potential to hurt main street. I hope I am wrong and this is some grand economic revolution, but I am far too cynical to believe that. If Trump actually went after the central bankers, then yes, a real revolution that would help everyone - not just the filthy rich - would be more realistic, but that is not happening, and I highly doubt it will happen.
Agree. The average American is invested in the stock market via their retirement funds. They are not traders. The stock market correction is not happening because of Trump. A stock market correction was going to happen with or without Trump. He is only the trigger. If he accomplishes his full agenda, the the correction will be short-lived and healthy. Only when a Gov't intervenes and tries to stop a correction - such as FDR in the 30s - only then do the corrections not recover quickly.
As for the international debt system banking cartel, this is at root the cause and support for all that is wrong. Trump is not "business as usual". He has launched war upon the entire geo-political structure of the West and intends to totally remake it. This will eventually result in a direct attack on the international banking system. And Trump cannot do otherwise now. He knows that if he falters in his purpose, that this would be the death of him and his entire family and legacy. He is all in and it is all or nothing. Undoing what was done in 1913, abolishing the Federal Reserve, establishing an international dollar on real assets rather than debt, eliminating the banking cartel's geo-political control of endless wars for profit and decoupling Main Street from the financialization of the US will necessarily require the destruction of the centuries old debt slavery of the international banking cartel. This is a complete reset.
But see, Johnny, there you are waxing negative, but why? Do you have any suggestions? All you seem to say is "everyone should be aware of this", yes, just as we've been aware of everything in the last administration, trying to focus on the positive at the time instead of pointedly and repeatedly focusing on the bad.
I'm just pointing out something folks here seem to be dismissing. IF there is a major market event, it will hurt main street. The big fish will get bigger, per usual. People need to pull the blinders off and recognize the reality of the situation.
Maybe/hopefully....but too bad for the people who were gearing up to retire - they either lose big time or they have to put off retirement for several years while they wait for the rebound.....
Hold on. I have had my portfolio since 2010 and over those 14 years it has tripled in value. I also have a company managing it because I am clueless about investments and have no desire to learn.
Milton Friedman had a great analogy about that. If one person in a boat starts shooting holes in the bottom of the boat, you don't also start shooting holes to fix the problem.
Hang tough with WHAT???? Nothing bad is happening to the U.S. because of the soon-to-be-effective tariffs, for God's sake. The ONLY negative outcome right now is the stock market going into an epileptic fit due to an imaginary, self-induced, irrational, emotional response to something THAT HASN'T EVEN HAPPENED. This frenzy in the stock market and in the media is just one more deep state psy-op rearing its malignant head into the public domain. For God's sake, all those people at the rallies this weekend, couldn't even say one thing about how tariffs or DOGE or Trump was negatively impacting their lives. This is 2020's Covid lockdown mania redux. I pray that THIS TIME, Trump stays strong and doesn't buckle under the fake pressure.
My step mom emailed me this weekend saying that she lost $50k. She was joking, shes been in the market for over 50 years and knows how it goes, but she’s 85 and a lot of people her age are losing their minds because their portfolio dropped.
First, why are you in stocks, which have volatility, if you aren’t prepared to handle volatility? This adjustment isn’t a surprise, you should have switched to safer things after the election. Second, the market will rebound, probably quickly. But so many older people only watch legacy media and lap up whatever they’re being told. That’s why all the protestors are white people over 70. IMHO.
That's right. I listened to the first part of the Peter Navarro interview clip another commenter linked, and that's what he said right off the bat. It goes against our emotions, but the rule has always been "buy low, sell high". There will be buying opportunities to get stocks on sale!!!
"HANDS OFF! My deepstate, my fedocracy, my portfolio, my 20 Chinese-made prescriptions, my whole FAKE world of comfortable authoritarianism!"
Had "350" Fauxtestors Saturday afternoon in my mountain community; the entitled white baby boomers and their cadre of younger acolytes in the DemoCult "Resistance II" movement.
Yes my retired friend 60-something is freaking out about his retirement. He's a liberal though, which means they are in constant freak-out mode about something all the time.
I spent the four years of the Biden admin in more-or-less constant freak-out mode, too. About the culture shift to insanity and Covid, at first, then lockdowns, jabs, the threat of my loss of livelihood over my aversion to the jabs, the buildup to the election and the possible election of the queen of dimwits to the presidency. All the while I was constantly pissed at Fauci and his cronies. There was a lot of anger in me, and it aged me a bit, even as I tried to let it go.
Now with the idiot libs protesting, burning cars, etc., I'm not angry so much as amused. I'm definitely at peace more, but feel the buildup toward confrontation coming. I'm praying Trump is who he presents himself to be, that he is for his country and its people, because if it's all a sham, it would be a tragic wasted opportunity to really turn the country and the world around. If we can live through this "adjustment" without the crazies starting a civil war, and get to a freer, more prosperous place for all, it would be a welcomed miracle.
Jeff's daily column has done a lot to give me a sense of perspective and to encourage my sense of humor, and the comradery and common cause of the commenters has given me a sense of a wider network of people who see the world a lot like I do.
Do not become united with people who do not believe in Christ. God has made you right with himself. Right and wrong cannot work together. Light and dark cannot join together. 2 Corinthians 6:14 (EASY)
Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? II Corinthians 6:14 (NKJV)
Wondering to my husband yesterday--with that "nation-wide protest"--all the outrage, the emotional whatever, isn't that a lot of cortisol being released? Wonder if it's shortening their lives. One can only hope. That combined with their multi-shot Covid injection program. Self-administered assassination....
So good! You are 100% right Valerie, and if everyone will STFU and realize any move they make in the market right now is going to be costly, so dont Fucking move! They are paper losses UNLESS you move now. Stay put, the DJIA will rebound and grow to over 50k when it is all said and done! This is a correction which has been coming for a while and now they are going to try and blame it on Trump's policies to weaken him and all the great things he is doing FOR US!
My wife and I were talking about the woke protest mobs that took over our downtown on the weekend, and hoping a bunch of them panicked and dumped at the bottom. Less dollars to contribute to lib PACs.
Definitely. The DJIA is off nearly 5000 points, more than 10%. Its near impossible for me to figure out how to time the bottom for when to get in stocks. If you have any hints, Im all ears… I don’t think it can get to -20% but maybe -15%?
It only becomes real if you make a stupid move, like believing all the MSM hyperbole and bovine excrement about the sky falling. It is falling, for the globalists, and that’s a damn good thing for us!
Yeah anyone over 65 without a huge cushion of $ is pretty much screwed if they haven’t fixed their portfolios to something stable (although bonds are maybe not a sure thing either). My retirement fund actually has a nice cash holding that has a seven year return o 6-7% which I switched all my foreign investments to a few months ago. I’m glad I did right about now.
I was talking to my 20-year-old yesterday about how it’s such a great time to buy. We give him $500 at Christmas every year (only since he turned 18, so like $1500 so far) into a Fidelity account to learn about the market. He’s super excited to watch it grow and learn about stocks.
Totally agree. I'm almost retirement age and I choose to be invested in the stock market KNOWING that it has ups and downs, and there may be a black swan event, and that's on me! If I wanted to play it safe, I would have put my retirement funds in CDs.
If I'm not mistaken most if not all big swings in the US stock markets are controlled/manipulated by banks & their owners. They try to use the markets the same way I use a leash on a pup; for control.
Excellent Ann. And for Trump to stay strong, that means we too must stay strong and not buckle but in fact, be loud in supporting his plans, policies, actions. Everything he is doing is to restore the USA, to the great discontent of the globalists who thought they had destroyed us.
Most Americans are getting it, 30% or so will never get it because they are part of the problem. If we keep working with POTUS, we can get the approval rating to 70% and then we can put some nails in the globalist anti American haters (CCP, EU, WEF, and including dems and rinos, deep state, etc) coffin.
No one likes to see their IRA or 401K go down. However the S&P500 CAPE (cyclically adjusted P/E ratio) is currently 36, which is 80% higher than historical norms! And that is after the last few days drop. Fueled by the easy money policies of the last 15+ years. TSLA P/E still at 121 for goodness sake! Markets are artificially overvalued. Markets have handily beaten inflation for the 10% or so who are heavily invested, but everyone else has been a net loser of the U.S. money printer.
I almost wonder if this doesn't have the side effect of getting liberals to dump their stocks/empty their 401Ks and lose out benefiting everyone else. I wonder if they will panic enough to do it.
I keep seeing people posting panicked comments on social media like “sneakers are going to cost 700 dollars if we move manufacturing to the US because we can’t pay people 2 dollars an hour.” It seems like these people are ok with workers being exploited in other countries (or illegals being exploited here) as long as they can buy what they want for a cheaper price 🤔😑
My parents who were kids during the Depression and WWII, grew up knowing certain things were important, most everything else was not. If you wanted something, not considered a necessity, you worked for it and saved the money until you had enough. There was no instant gratification, but better was the feeling of earning it. They knew God, family, friends and community. I paid my own way through college. There was a work ethic that is sadly missing today. We want it and we want it now, as cheaply and easily as possible. This is the legacy my grandkids are facing.
I agree wholeheartedly with your comment. However, paying your own way through college has long since become a fantasy for millennials and gen z. Along with buying most things, like a home. It went from about 2 times household income in 50-60s to about 5-6 times now. And that's not even counting the astronomica interest cost of mortgage debt of the inflated cost of all other things needed to survive plus bills that never even existed (Internet, cell phone) which are needed for survival now. It was once possible not to have a phone. Everything has increased in cost while wages have all but stagnated.
Lord willing Trump can fix this mess. But ultimately, it is God alone who will pull us out of this mess.
It can be done. I have a friend who’s son is a graduating senior. He’s a quiet kid who didn’t like sports, wasn’t a gamer or computer nerd, mainly because his parents didn’t allow iPads and chromebooks into the house. He loved taking things apart and putting things back together. Chainsaws, lawnmowers and car engines. He was an intern over last summer at semi conductor plant, and stayed on to work part time his senior year. He took high school classes at a local junior college in the trades. He will be graduating Salutatorian of his class. He saved up over $9000 to buy a used truck. And he has almost a full ride to a local college. It can be done, but parents have to think past the traditional 4 year colleges and look at junior colleges and trade schools. Our grandchildren are being brought up on tablets and tv screens. They play video games. Fresh air and actually working at something that requires physical exertion is beyond the pale. We need to get back to basics.
I agree that people should strive to overcome. The issue is that 70 years ago a single man could support a family of four on a single income working a "minimum wage" job with a house and a car. That's the tragedy I'm referencing and the mindset I'm decrying. This era is gone yet people act like it is not.
It used to not be the exceptional story of "it can be done". It used to be the norm. That's my issue and what I find so sad.
Most of a sneakers cost is non-material, non-labor. Marketing, athlete endorsement/cut, etc. People want to own a LeFlop James endorsed shoe so they over pay.
Good point. And when they’re made overseas there’s a greater transportation cost too. There are lots of aspects that could be tweaked to balance the labor costs out.
The sad thing is that many people who buy those 'status sneakers' are the same people who live paycheck to paycheck. Real household budgeting and economics should be a prerequisite to graduating from highschool. Will never happen because the rich like manipulatable people for their products.
Those same people go to protests against, or fake-boycott companies who use child labor - but also use many items that are produced by the same companies. To put it mildly, they are hypocrites + confused.
I am unfamiliar with that brand, but I always say those factories make the same things the high-end and the Walmart by the same people they just sew a different tag in them.
It’s hilarious really, how lefties pivot to supporting things that previously they decried. And to decrying things that previously they supported. They’re all over the map!
A couple of weeks ago we were with my stepdaughter, a liberal, formerly conservative (we think it was her husband’s family that hypnotized her), and we passed a statue of Abraham Lincoln. Mind you, she warned us not to talk politics on this visit, despite the fact that we haven’t breathed a political thought near her in five years as she would explode and stalk off if we did. But she said (in a sort of hiss) that the statue should be removed, presumably because he was a Republican. I commented that that it was Lincoln who helped end slavery, and that he had written that many men had come to him extolling the virtues of slavery, but none had been willing to be a slave. Silence. It astounds me how intelligent people can totally lack nuanced thought. And she is a doctor.
IMHO Derangement comes in all shapes, sizes, genders, and intelligence levels. There is a fine line between wisdom and foolishness. Fools will always fight for their existence while the wise will hold their tongue, listen and watch as the fool digs their pit deeper and deeper.
Bur you can crochet beautiful moccasins yourself for $20 and a great deal of self pleasure and gifting. What a beautiful culture shift, backward 100 years! ❤️
It's wise to recognize that these skills that our Grands knew were very intellectual and not easily come by but gov has dumbed US down by calling those practices stupid and ignorant. It's very hard to garden not knowing that certain plants like and dislike others intensely or that if you use insecticides that you also kill the pollinators. Thank God for books and Internet! AND FRIENDS!
Fyi of it wasn't for my adult daughter who RESEARCHES I writing have a garden either although she got her desire from me. ❤️ I knit and crochet. 😁
I did a lot of research for years before I started a garden watched tons of videos. I don’t think my garden got enough sun 🥴 I got huge blossoms on all the plants and then they all just died and it was late in the season.
My friends and I have this same conversation! I always say I’m safe because I do great massages, everyone will support me because they’ll all need me. 😂
The plan is to use robots to build products and keep the production cost down. And create highly skilled jobs to humans with the focus on maintaining the robots - jobs. That is why education is being revamped, to actually improve skills and knowledge without paying $$$$ for a college degree. Over all Intention to keep the costs down. Heard this the other day from one of Trump's team.
And it is just bullshit scare tactics and hyperbole. The truth is that the market will find the good shoes at the good prices, unless we continue to allow all the manipulation which is stealing our wealth and power. Innovation is key and it doesn't happen without providing people with the opportunity to succeed without the deck being stacked against them.
I could be wrong but it looks like things are already showing signs of adjusting in a positive way. The apoplectic media is such a cruel infliction on low information viewers. I can’t help but think things may adjust before the Walmart employees have a chance to get their “mark-up sticker” guns loaded.
I wouldn’t be surprised at anything at this point. It could very well be that this gets resolved relatively quickly as you say, and then it will be interesting to see how the doomsayers will frame it 😑
My daughter always asks for the most expensive tennies but I buy them because she will literally clean them with Clorox bleach wipes when they get a little dirty and she puts them in her room on the rack. I buy them a half a size bigger and then she wears the heck out of them. I'm so proud of her. She wants to have nice things but she values them like no other 14 y.o. I know. And she doesn't have 5 pairs. Just one good pair until she grows out of them.
That's the kind of thing that needs to end, anyway, IMHO. I was telling a lib the other day that I'd love to return to the days where you had a couple of extremely well-made, expensive sweaters, that lasted nearly a lifetime, rather than cheap crap from China made out of acrylic that's destroyed after 2 washings. Americans are addicted to crap, and too much of it. That's why there are always lots of storage facilities being built all over the place.
My 20 year dryer went out a few weeks ago. Most people would run out and buy a new one. We could have, but instead, my husband went to YouTube and figured out how to replace the heating element for less than $100. And, no extra dryer in the landfill. We need to get back to that and stop being a disposable/mass consuming society.
Geez. I did pay $150 last fall for a pair of top-grain cowhide hiking boots which I use in the garden. And which may last me for the rest of my life. This is either the third or fourth pair since 1984. For me, it's all about value. My sneakers I've been buying as Walmart.
Exactly. Like the “old days” when we had what we needed … not everything in the world that we wanted. The over consumerism is unbelievable and it is so harmful to the younger generation who think they deserve everything right away. It’s been going on for far too long and it has contributed to the “ lost soul” of our Nation.
Yep. The DJIA will be going to 50K with President Trumps actions. Im trying to feel for that bottom - an extremely difficult task, I'm just hoping to get close to the bottom - and then I will go all in, knowing what's coming is a booming economy and market.
In times like these it's best to keep your powder dry & eyes opened until bottom is reached. Market rebounds are never always straight back up, they have dips of their own. 2008 was a good opportunity too.
Regular people don't really own stocks and don't have money to buy stocks. THe stocks regular people "own" are through retirement plans. This will again benefit the behemoths of the world. Not main street.
I think I'm a "regular people" and I have "retail investor" accounts of my own, although my retirement accounts are in the hands of a financial advisor.
Tucker Carlson interview with a pastor who has decided to remove his family from an environment of "wickedness" to Tenn even though they have lived there for 6 generations. This is informative and a very worthwhile interview............
I have noticed more and more people here on C&C have "liberal" family and friends they are always dealing with. This unequal yoke is a big problem in the church of Jesus Christ today. Yes we are told to love them, be gentle and patient with them (unbeliever) but we are not to be yoked (tied) to them. We are to be a light to them but not fall into their darkness. We pray for them to come into the Light of Jesus.
2 Corinthians 6:14 (GNT) Do not try to work together as equals with unbelievers, for it cannot be done. How can right and wrong be partners? How can light and darkness live together?
Brilliant word-play, Master Jeff! You've crafted a couple of sentences so long, so full of juicy adjectives, that even the apostle Paul would be envious.
Any one else find themselves humming Mary Poppins’ 🎶 spoonful of sugar song 🎵 all the way down the C&C post today? It’s a fun song! Great post today Mr Childers! Sharing the truth, justice and optimism with as many as I will “take it🥄” 😃
I love that song. When I was 10 years old I sang it, scared to death and shaking like a leaf, at a grade school concert. Everyone needs to go watch the original Mary Poppins movie.
—“where its 27 nations whisper away their sovereignty into a miasmic muddle of policy fog drafted by unelected clerks fluent in cloistered crypto-languages of arcane acronyms and elliptical euphemisms.”
America has become addicted to Instant gratification. Hopefully decades of raping and pillaging the American Economy are over. Instant Gratification needs to be replaced with the Austerity mindset.
I’m ok with sitting back and waiting it out to see what happens. It’s a working strategy. After all, that’s what my strategy was for Covid jabs—waited to see what would happen. I was already tipped off about them so any confirmation just increased my ability to say no.
You cause me to realize another benefit of knitting: it's the opposite of fast fashion. It just takes time to make a garment (whereas, on my sewing machine, I occasionally could make myself a dress in one day).
One of the slogans of the EU that they use deliberately is:
"Europe: Many tongues, one voice." <-- in the image above, that slogan is on painting of the original tower on a press release flyer with twelve upside down pentagrams forming a circle around it.
So they're rebuilding a new tower of Babel while their language and imagery thumbs their nose at God who scrambled the languages in order to stop the original...
Wow. How appropriate for me. I just came back from a week long visit to the arc and the creation museum after attending a women's conference at the arc. The tower of Babel yes.
It's likely the net worth of congress & senate members has dipped considerably. Their insider-trading advantage was probably a no-show this time; I hope so anyway.
Good! The stock market crash is a good thing, because the only stocks that are crashing are those of the companies who were stealing money through corruption at USAID.
Wisconsin needs to challenge that election result. An overwhelming voter turnout to pass a voter registration amendment but a nonpartisan, (liberal) is elected. Something is off. Trump won the state of Michigan but the Republican running for U.S.Senator was narrowly defeated by a Marxist woman. US Senator is right below “President” on the ballot. C’mon….
What were are seeing is the fact that the whole world needs free access to the American Consumer market to make their economies better. Trump is the only one willing to leverage that reality in an effort to level the playing field. We have been told forever that the Great Depression was the result of disastrous tariffs. But there is a ton of evidence that the root cause of the great Depression was the failed response by the Federal Reserve and stupid government policies like a tax on every check wrote which was actually done from 1932-1935 the everyday man reacted to the tax by pulling his cash out of the banks and dealing in cash sparking the deposit runs. The Federal Reserve whose only true purpose is the be the lender of last resort to the banks didn’t fulfill that purpose. In fact they shrank the money supply vs expanding it or just keeping it stable. Every single financial crisis in this country since the Fed was created has been caused or made worse by the Federal Reserve. So if they lied to us about Covid-19 why wouldn’t they have lied about the real reason for Great Depression?
Good morning Jeff and the C&C army! For regulars who don’t know me (hi! 👋), I co-authored The War on Ivermectin with the inimitable Dr. Pierre Kory, plus a stack of other books and a snarky Substack that refuses to behave.
This weekend I did what any completely normal person would do after several cups of coffee and passing one-too-many ignorant protestors on the roadside: I launched a Change.org petition urging RFK Jr. to immediately and permanently yank the COVID so-called-vaccines off the market and investigate every last criminal involved in their production, promotion, and peddling.
Please sign and share if you think zero liability and billions in profits are NOT the recipe for public health. :)
https://www.change.org/p/urge-robert-f-kennedy-jr-to-immediately-ban-covid-vaccines-and-investigate?
The VA is still offering the covid DeathVax to veterans including pregnant veterans.
VA ignored their own safety signals that were triggered 6 months after the shot roll out for myocarditis after the 1st Pfizer shot.
Veterans were never warned they could be harmed.
Link to info that was obtained via FOIA:
https://vigilantnews.com/post/veterans-affairs-found-safety-signal-for-pfizer-covid-vaccine-never-disclosed-it/
It's worse than offering it to pregnant women. The government is including four Covid shots, along with 33 shots by the time a child is 12 months old, including one Covid shot in utero.
That is just blatant depopulation
They’re not even trying to hide it
Agree, the vax attack on our kids is disgraceful and criminal. This paper by Paul Thomas MD backs your point in spades, see its Fig-5 (https://www.mdpi.com/1660-4601/17/22/8674) -- note, this solid paper was retracted due to pressure on publisher by big pharma.
__________
Even worse is that all things mRNA are unsafe and all vaccines are rapidly being converted to mRNA. Why all mRNA is unsafe is pretty easy to understand -- see reply to Jenna below. Please help alert everyone to these facts so that the carnage can be stopped.
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT RFK Jr. NEEDS TO STOP IMMEDIATELY!!! NO NEWBORN NEEDS ANY OF THESE!!!
Where is this? The whole country or certain states? If you have a link, please share. I did not know this happened.
I did not post that comment.
In Massachusetts they are still promoting covid shots for 6 month old babies and older. I try not to let rage in the door but knowing this causes a visceral reaction in me. And I have witnessed the pressuring/bullying as I work with the (vulnerable) refugee population.
I recognize this as the left's hubris, which will ultimately backfire on them through "natural selection." The entire Massachusetts fixation on woke policies will eventually reduce the population, perhaps precipitously. We will lose representation in Congress, and the entire Democrat house of cards will collapse with a generational return, shifting back toward the Truth of what is real. Their abuses will come to a sickly end.
Hard to like your comment, but I completely agree.
Said this last week on my post-dems will self depop caused by being voodoo dolls for the covid jabs and all jabs for that matter. I have tried to help everyone and let them know about this poison but only received backlash from those blue pilled. I no longer open my mouth to warn them. They are on their own.
One can hope
Just follow the $$$
Amen....🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥☠️💉☠️
Exactly. The RATS policies are self-annihilating.
The visceral rage, yes. I can barely quell it.
me too Nancy. These subhumans causing all this evil and strife need their DNA erased from this earth permanently.
Same here. I know it's not healthy, but the fact that there has still been no apology and no justice is galling.
Dr. Mary Talley Bowden on a podcast with Tucker Carlson said that on the Childhood Vax Schedule, by 9 months old, a child would have 3 coivd jabs already. This makes me sick to my stomach. Time to burn this all down for good and start over. We cannot allow "them" to depop us or our children. Vile to the nth degree.
She also said that we have 9 million children who have taken the Covid shot . Absolutely appalling.
Kathleen, off topic, but , I asked about h pylori at the VA. The doctor brushed it off “ everyone has that, we don’t treat it “. Meanwhile, my husband keeps giving it to me and my leaky gut is not healing. They’re very deaf at times.
@Rosalind Here's a link to my partner, https://mycuravida.com/, talk to Denise, she'll guide you to Functional Integrative Medicine Testing for Gut Dysbiosis / Leaky Gut.
Be Well & Be Blessed,
Phillip
How absolutely wonderful is Substack. In particular, is C&C. The community of neighbors looking out for each other. "Love thy neighbor" expressed.
Thank you. Very much!
Just looked up the site, thank you for this. Will be reaching out to them.
You’ve got this! Start with “Undoctored” and “Super Gut”, both by Dr. William Davis. Then read anything else he’s written. You will fix both your bacterial overgrowth and your problem with conventional medicine. 😄
Agree. Dr. William Davis’ book SuperGut is great. Read the book and get started! Family member is following the protocol. Replaced the bacterial overgrowth with good. Within 30 days the bloating subsided, stomach discomfort gone, the belt was cinched in 3 notches, weight began to self-correct, and now, after 150 days see scales at 195 from a start of 222. Pretty good for 82 year old man. Continuing the program.
Undoctored was a fabulous book!
@Rosalind try designs for health G.I. revive and their sister product floramyces. Expensive and it may take you a few months to fix but it turned things around for me!! I don’t work for them btw. But, wish I did. I love their products. They’re some of the best on the market.
@Butterfly - unfortunately many people "try" a myriad of products, but the best approach is to test first. Make sense?
Be Well & Be Blessed,
Phillip
Me too. But very expensive and you have to wait 30-45 days to see meaningful benefit.
Or at least that was the case in my experience.
What's interesting is after taking it for 6 months I stopped but my symptoms never returned. Its been several years since I stopped taking them.
Its almost like it "reset" my system to when I was 20 years younger.
Citrus pectin gave me bad constipation... and DGL gave me bad heart palps... glutamine... headaches. Typical side effects.
So probably great, but not for everyone.
BTW floramyces is WAY over priced.
I’m working with an integrative medicine doctor for mold and biotoxin illness. Doing the Ritchie Shoemaker protocol and getting tested for Lyme soon. I will ask him about this. Thanks. I don’t do anything without doc knowing, counterproductive.
Wonder if that doctor is still pushing the covid DeathVax.
can't imagine, says on the site he is integrative and homeopathic.
@Kathleen - long thread, which doctor? I never recommended nor took C19 nor influenza.
Be Well & Be Blessed, Phillip
So interesting you say that-a friend who is a retired pharmacist recently said my husband should be tested for that as he takes omeprazole daily for GERD and she said it may be because of this bacteria .
PEL - i took omeprazole for a very long tim3 as the docs kept saying to continue to take it and my gastro problems got worse. Took initially for abdominal ulcers ulcers which were cleared up but then I developed gerd. Fiinally did my own research and found that the drug was created as a short term solution ..... weeks or a few months. I was tested for bacteria ... nothing. I had been taking it for many years and getting worse. I weaned myself off the medicine and began adjusting my food intake. Have been off medicine aboout 2 years and feel better than I have for 25 years! Just sharing so you and your husband might consider making somme changes yoourselves.
H pylori is causative in many cases of gastritis and ulcers. There’s a fairly easy breath test for it now (among other test options). Your doctor can order it before and after treatment to determine effectiveness of whatever tmt you chose. It is a bacteria, so most treatment options include antibiotics. I’m not familiar with some of the alternative suggestions here. Thanks all!
PEL-
I had given up anything acidic and the med had shut acid production in stomach so I need to start over getting a regular diet back and I did one thing at a time. I added back orange juice, tomato juice and tomatoes, diet soda (stopped it tho - just not good for anyone. After adding I would wait a few days to see how I responded and then add something else. I was methodical and slow and it took over a year but now I eat whatever I want that’s reasonable and my digestion is greatly improved. I drink lots of water and eat a variety of protein, carbs, veggies, fruit and sweets in small amounts. I would recommend a full blood work panel and perhaps a scan or even endoscopy to be sure there is nothing else going on. I did. I now believe the medication was creating more of a problem than I had before! Hope this helps!
You need to get rid of h-pylori. Take mastic gum and broccoli sprouts. I got rid of mine in about a month. Make sure you eat clean as well.
Mastic gum , thanks
Getting tested is a good idea. Here is a link for some natural remedies:
https://www.earthclinic.com/ailments.html
Not true. Find a good naturpath who can get you on fenbendasol or a specific anti-parasite protocol. My niece is fully recovered, but lost 60 pounds before being treated.
Is criminal in my view! Please note also that all things mRNA are unsafe, and why this is is pretty easy to understand -- see reply to Jenna below. Is important for everyone to be alerted to this fact so that the carnage can be stopped, since all vaccines are rapidly being converted to mRNA.
Newly appointed, just this week Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, NIH, intends to ban all mrna. Per Dr. Betsy Eads.
Hallelujah!
So Bobby Kennedy-stein refused to do it, but Jay is coming through?
Jeeze. Time to RIF RFK!
never taking another jab ever again.
And the military is still forcing not just Covid vaxes and the booster, but all of the other nasty shots on recruits. Where is Hegseth on this? Where is the right to say no?
Odd... they are re-hiring military that got canned due to refusing the death-jabs.... with back pay...
I would doubt they are still mandating them.
I met a Doofenshmertz last week who told me that VA care is A.MAZ.ING!
He seemed to have forgotten the debacle that was the Arizona VA where vets were dying while on massively long wait lists.
But, maybe things have changed.....maybe not.
I turned around and walked away. I don't think I said Doofenshmertz out loud, though.
There are some good VA facilities out there, and a lot of really mediocre ones.
Pretty much a crap shoot if you move to a new area and are not aware of the problems.
Pittsburgh VA had problems with the water system harboring Legionnaire's disease and kept it hidden for years.
The Clarksburg West Virginia VA hospital had a nurse that injected 7 veterans with insulin and they died.
Here is a link to the story and Pittsburgh hiding the water problems:

Have heard VA facility in Martinsburg WV is one of the best.
The ACOG still wants the jab in every pregnant woman’s arm .🤬
This needs to happen..oh PLEASE! My ex is taking me to court to try to force the covid and HPV shots...all out of spite. We are in a blue state. Please pray that HHS, RFK, Bhattacharya, et al DO THEIR JOBS.
That is criminal and I am so sorry.😭🙏
Exposing kids to horrific potential side effects and autoimmune disorders just to spite your ex spouse is beyond criminal 😡
He will live to regret it and will deserve every moment of angst and mental torture when the child gets sick.
Thank you so much. It's heartbreaking. I will never stop fighting.
Praying 🙏🏻 for your strength and steadfastness!
What state do you live in? Same here in blue MA.
Gardasil - another poison that needs to be taken off the market.
Keeping you in my prayers. My cousin works for the Gardasil company and forbid her daughter s from taking it.
That says alot
Gardasil -pure evil. So much data covered up and so many victims. Dr's push that crap on so many and the industry plies on the parent's fears. If we had only known.

Without even talking to me, my ex-husband got our daughter the first shot of the series. When I found out, I was fit to be tied. I went to the doctor's office and made it clear that if they give her another one, there would be hell to pay. I left no doubt in their minds that I was DEAD serious. She didn't get any more. I also let her dad know. In no uncertain terms.
She should share what she knows, so other parents can see what they're exposing their children to. When my daughter became a teenager, Gardasil was just being brought to market. I read somewhere about a girl who'd been left paralyzed in the trials, and decided I would wait A LONG WHILE before even considering this for my daughter.... Then our pediatrician wanted to give it to our 9 yr old son.... I hit the ceiling!!! Thankfully, my daughter is now in her 30's and knows better... These people are criminals in white coats.
I once read that the female Doctor who helped develop the gardasil shot later admitted "it doesn't work, it wasn't well researched, and is dangerous"
A wide variety of drug/vaccine names could be inserted here: “_____ doesn't work, it wasn't well researched, and it is dangerous.”
Sold her soul, eh?
Send him/her the Tucker link and @ least one of the books articles documenting vaccines harms.
Turtles All The Way Down, what an eye opener about jab lies all these years.
Yes! The title didn’t come to mind just then & I had lent my copy out.
Anything I send him is used against me in court as evidence that I'm "crazy." Maybe you could be an expert witness for me?? Seriously.
Well, I would be willing. I would come prepared, but I don’t have any great credentials, I am just a retired family doctor. Where do you live? There may be someone from the Independent Medical Association 🏥 or the Vaccine Safety Research Institute with better credentials who you could get to testify. Also Warner Mendenhall’s lawyer group, but they are busy.
Send me a DM (direct message) in this app. if you are serious.
As we all should be. Until the jabs are off the market, immunity removed from Pharma (retroactively if possible), people are in jail or worse, the childhood vaccine schedule is destroyed, full informed consent for shots (meaning RFK’s placebo controlled vaccine studies done) we should stay engaged and enraged.
I was amazed that Tucker was amazed to hear what Dr Bowden said. He's nothing if not well-informed but he was shocked at things that we who are awake (not the same as woke) have known all along.
Me too! I pretty much know the depth and breath of the bio-weapon/democide side of things. And yet, just hearing it all poignantly anew sends me ballistic.
I listened in on some of the top investment people yesterday, including one guy heavy into the mining sector. I've been listening in on these folks for years now ... and they are very, very smart people. One standout was a discussion on AI and robots, and robots taking over most jobs. Very much on their minds are the problem of what to do with some seven billion people rendered redundant and useless, and who will not really be needed. And also, problems with a dysfunctional guaranteed income payment system for billions of people. Although not directly bluntly stated, It was clear to me that these people suspected that whoever is running the show would not mind 'disappearing' billions of people. Personally, I always thought about all of this once I first figured out in 2020/2021 what was going on with the Covid Terror Campaign.
Rogan podcast with Dr. Suzanne Humphries is also great. She recently commented on X that she’s amazed it’s still up on YouTube.
Praying!! 🙏🙏🙏
Print and highlight proof and stories about the harm vaxxes cause. CHD children's health defense has a lot of info to start. IDK how old the child is but I would tell them and let them beg dad not to vax as well. I would also let him know it will cause damage even decades later and his children will know who to blame.
Your situation is so awful. Sorry.
Thank you so much. It is no use sending studies. He doesn't care and uses them to paint me as someone at odds with THE SCIENCE.
He won't read the studies since he believes “the science” without question.
Find articles and stories about the harm and primt/highlight specific parts so it will be hard not to see since he won't read all of it. Keep it simple and let your kids see it too.
Science is not all truth. It is questioning what we believe to be true and learning from it IMO.
HPV is one of the worst out there and we know covid is deadly. Sending prayers to you in force OD....
I will pray that if he succeeds he will get all the side effects😂
Tell your ex that the female doctor who helped develop gardasil later admitted "it doesn't work, it wasn't well researched, and it's dangerous". Steve kirsch said it was the most dangerous vaccine on the market until the covid shot came on the scene
Truly evil. I am sorry for you and your child(ren).
Best to your yours.
Later Jay
Do you live in a state that gives you exemptions from the childhood vaccines? If your state allows them, then the court needs to allow them as well. More than likely a judge will not listen to the potential harms of vaccines but needs to be reminded of the law of the state.
There are exemptions, but I can't unilaterally submit a religious exemption for the kids if he doesn't agree with it. Divorced parents are really in a bind. Trust me, I am thinking of/exploring all the angles.
Michigan here. To live in a blue state with minor children is to be held hostage. /sigh My sympathies, friend.
Unfortunately people need to be VERY careful who they procreate with. I’d consider moving to ID
🙏🏻
I’m sorry this is happening & I hope you have an attorney that can help you win this battle🙏🏻.
I assume this is relating to forcing kids to take these shots? There is an excellent RFK Jr video from a previous year where he explains that you're more likely to get injured by the HPV shot than protected from anything by it. Dr. Suzanne Humphries said that's one you can avoid and be better off than if you took it! Just like the covid shot
Absolutely true especially if you look at it statistically.
Later Jay
@Op Def- force them on YOU or the kids?
The kids.
He should be forced to read 500 pages of Turtles All The Way Down at least 20 times over and over until he gets it.
Done but not a fan of change.org.
For future reference, alignact.com is the right-leaning petition option.
Just sign the petition - don't donate. The money you donate goes to the organization you don't like - the point is the petition.
It only gave me the options to either pay or refer someone, giving their email address out without their permission. I won't do either of those things. Is there a way around this? I want to sign but agree that change.org was probably not the best choice of platform.
I signed the petition, but I didn’t donate or share. I think there’s an option to skip at the bottom, probably in very small print. I don’t remember exactly how it was worded, it was a day or two ago…
Skip now is a choice
I didn’t get those choices. It asked for donation or to share.
Not a fan of the imagined market of Covid products like Ivermectin and other things of the Wellness Co. Think Kory is a psyop who bought into an imagined virus to capitalize. Would not use any commercial product from that era.
Ivermectin is not the sole property of The Wellness Co. Farmers and ranchers have been using this drug for years!!! There are also African countries that have used Ivermectin long before covid due to its anti-parasitic properties! It works and is not a gimmick!!! At least we have witnessed results!!!!
Deb, use however many exclamation points you feel like!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Do they run many expensive TV ads with people dancing around, hyping meds you don’t need? If not, I’m out 😄
Agree on all points prior to COVID. At this point with all of the controlled opposition, it is hard to confirm the safety of an commercial pharma product. The psyop is deep, as I can tell from the comments. I suspect that sodium bicarbonate to balance the ph may be most effective for colds and flu, which is what we should call the imaginary pandemic. Many hucksters are still out there.
(Deb: use of multiple exclamation points makes you look nutty. I agree with your points, but try periods instead - they make your point calmly and assertively, without making you appear to be trying to convince yourself. Just a friendly tip from an ally).
The Wellness Company is Dr Peter McCullough. I don’t believe Dr Pierre Kory is part of that.
Exactly
The Pharma companies that are paying you to post this are not getting their money’s worth. Kory has a clinical practice, isn’t marketing anything. Wellness Company is different & I would bet anything that their profits absolute or % pale in comparison to big Pharma.
Especially since Dr. M has lawsuits to cover. Thank you for posting this. Both docs with others like Dr. Marik, Dr. Cole, Dr. Talley Bowden and the rest are heroes.
Ivermectin is the REAL deal, nothing "imagined" about it. Many millions could have been saved if Big Pharma had not effectively banned it during the Covid scam.
Also IMO... Dr. Kory is a good man and legit.
The Wellness Company, IMO, is very smelly and to be avoided.
agree to disagree strongly. Ivermec rocks with a great safety profile.
I have to agree. Ivermectin is not the magic miracle drug people seem to believe it is. It's another pharmaceutical with side effects. I also agree that people are making big money of imagined viruses.
I disagree. There's an ever growing body of research showing great effectiveness on various cancers, and IVM is one of the safest drugs ever developed--WAY safer than Tylenol, for example.
Which Big Pharmaceutical Company is paying you to post this?
Bullcrap. Ivermectin is a miracle drug, won a Nobel Prize back when that meant something and could have prevented millions of deaths.
You missed April Fools Day.
He's prepping for "Dumb-ass Day"
LOL
If you knew what he has gone through you’d think differently!
Does he sell their products?
Kory was the doctor of record determining the cause of death for George Floyd. Made hundreds of thousands with a group that disappeared called Frontline Critical Care Doctors, promoted diagnosis of a non existent disease without any symptoms and had a quick book deal on Ivermectin. Controlled opposition runs deep in the scamdemic.
It is past time to STOP this crime against humanity. Pediatricians are STILL “vaccinating “ babies !!
https://tuckercarlson.com/tucker-show-bowden
(Go to 32 minute mark)
Great interview with Bowden, and it is way "past time to STOP this crime against humanity" -- is disgraceful and criminal. This paper by Paul Thomas MD backs fact that pediatricians are either ignorant or complicit in this crime, see its Fig-5 (https://www.mdpi.com/1660-4601/17/22/8674) -- note, this solid paper was retracted due to pressure on publisher by big pharma.
__________
Even worse than all the conventional shots being forced on kids is that all things mRNA are unsafe and all vaccines are now rapidly being converted to mRNA. Why all mRNA is unsafe is pretty easy to understand -- see reply to Jenna below to learn why, and then please help spread these facts to everyone so that the carnage can be stopped.
Came here this morning specifically looking for your comment! Thank you, Jenna! Signed and will be sharing. :)
LOL I appreciate you! :)
petition 'cant be found' on change.org today tuesday
Someone else just told me that and I checked--it looks like they took it down. Under my profile it says "0 petitions." I am livid. I've emailed them with screenshots; we'll see what they say. Thanks for trying. :(
Thanks Jenna! Nicole Shanahan stated this administration listens to what the people say.
These shots need to be pulled off the market. In a medical freedom chat group, someone asked about lawyers as her friend lost their 14 year old after the covid booster.
Signed and $upported. Thank you, Jenna, for taking the initiative!
whaaat?! ya mean the three miracle quackccines aren't safer and more effective against the CoVid 19 virus than deadly, conspiracy-kook touted, off-label horsepaste dewormer? I mean every impartial journalist and medical expert could actually be liable for misinforming and mal-instructing millions if that were true!
Let me re-frame this; REAL doctors, globally, were initially treating hundreds or thousands with HCQ, Ivermectin, Z Pack, and other things RATHER THAN simply doing a PCR test, shrugging shoulders and sending people home with NOTHING other than a flimsy mask til they got a turbo dose of pneumonia and REQUIRED over-run emergency room admission and ventilation, whereby DEATHs with CoVid could be Purposefully Elevated.
Then, way late in the game, some rationed Remdesivir, and even later, Paxlovid and other "safe and effective" "CoVid-targeting" anti-virals were developed and approved as the only Officially Endorsed ways to treat symptoms and spare one a gruesome death in isolation.
This is where Medical-Pharma-Media-Gvt. complex sits yet today. AI's assessment of benefit-risk of all of these products would be more honest and factual than asking one's personal doctor or pharmacist.
Jenna, count me in.
Thank you!!
I so agree with you Jenny!! Signed. It’s been 4 years since the darn things rolled out and still no one is being held responsible!! Also, and I believe he is planning to, remove the immunity the vaccine companies have.
Please also demand that the illegally applied LIABILITY SHIELDS be removed RETROACTIVELY... immediately!!
That should put the evil Moderna out of business and really damage both J&J and Pfizer!
Nothing will happen. Rfkjr is very captured.. Too many rides on Lolita Express. Ex-wife was friends with Ghislaine, then, was suicided because she discovered a little black book of her husband's EpEscapades. Tip of the iceburg. He's in his hhs position for pure optics. He and djt (vax daddy) were heavily invested in the jabs. It's about Agenda 2030. It's about depopulation.
He may be captured but he's been doing good at cleaning house at the FDA and CDC. I guess we'll see if that makes any difference. Pharma had deep pockets and can just buy new people. I saw comments on the leftist Yahoo following a story they posted about a kid dying of measles complications(allegedly) and the over-whelming majority were very pro-vaccine, anti-RFK(one called him the angle of death) and even very supportive of the covid jabs, which even a blind person can see killed thousands. So, I'd say the vast majority of the American population is "captured" and I see no way of getting through to them. They are completely brain-washed by the mainstream media and pharma.
I believe alot of those "people" on Yahoo, MSN, NYT, etc aren't real. They're "commenting" enmass to try and tell us that they are the majority.
The longer this "covid" BS goes on, the more people are waking up, the more they have to fight to keep the fear level up.
As Dr. Bowden pointed out on the Tucker interview, Makary at the FDA has the power to halt the mRNA death jabs right now, but has failed to do so.
So it doesn't seem like any serious cleaning is going on at the FDA.
Seems more like a few sane people were put into top health positions subject to shutting up about the death jabs. Pretty sure that if any one of them were to tell the truth now, Trump would fire him instantly, because Trump is still so in love with Operation Warp Speed.
Guard your mind.
Love this, reminds me of Mind the Gap!
Yes… so important dividing these times we are living through.
NEXT.....WEF/Gates want depop, not Trump.
Imagine if their efforts were focused on what is good and moral!
Yes he’s no good. Like the rest of the Cabinet. All deep state in my opinion. Nothing is getting done as it should be. Seth Rich truth still isn’t out after 10 years. 60 years for JFK and MLK! When we see that and RFK Sr. Then everyone will be as awake as they can. After that day, we will all be one big huge group all on the same side and that 2% (Deep State, Cabal, Globalist, whatever name you choose) now are gone. And that 2% now will be the Snorers!!! Or the ones in the Matrix still. But, if your family is still asleep, we will all still be together in the end. Read this. It’s Beautiful.

He has had his nose in the scumbag Rabbi Shmuley's rear recently... and called the Palestinians the "most pampered people in the world"... yep, Froggy is a turd.
Another paid bot.
Shove it, you moron! You a jew?
Thank you for this!
Thank you! I hope RFK Jr does just that. I an still seeing signs at the pharmacy reminding us to get our covid and flu jabs. Walgreens has a commercial showing a pregnant woman and her young son getting their covid-flu shots. It makes me sick knowing all that we now know about the risks, injuries and deaths from these past few years.
Petition signed, thank you for setting it up!
That said, reco also doing a follow-up petition, to end all mRNA shots, given that: (a) all things mRNA are unsafe, because they cause the body to attack itself, and (b) all shots, including those for children, are rapidly being converted to mRNA.
Everyone, please alert all you know of this danger, especially parents with young kids. It is also much easier to understand/prove why all mRNA shots are harmful, using the basic immunology info ref’d below, than it would be for the covid part.
__________
The main reason for all mRNA being unsafe, which does not go away even if all poison and bioweapon parts are removed, is that all cells which have made proteins per mRNA instructions will be violently attacked by body’s immune system, designed to destroy all cells that have made non-self-proteins (like those from mRNA).
Details of this most basic mRNA flaw are clearly explained in 00:55-29:00 of this video https://rumble.com/v1p3855-friday-roundtable-worrying-developments-with-michael-palmer-m.d.-sucharit-b.html. Please share this critical info with all you know!
Any MD pushing mRNA is either ignorant or complicit given that the immunology basics presented by Bhakdi can be confirmed by the info in Chapter-1 of the med-school textbook, “Roitt's Essential Immunology”. A free pdf can be found online.
For what it’s worth, here is a summary of the fundamental flaws in all mRNA uses, as noted by Bhakdi, Yeadon, and others.
* When a cell is infected by mRNA, it is tricked into making foreign, non-self-proteins, which essentially marks this mRNA-infected cell for violent death by “complement” (killer system #2 in body).
* So mRNA causes the body to attack itself, making all things with mRNA unsafe:
___* Blood vessels are damaged first, causing blood clots and leaks, which then enable damage to surrounding organs
___* Above mechanisms explain, at a high-level, sudden death and most other mRNA injuries
Sometimes you have to play net zero sum games in order to get the other party to capitulate. We win in the end because no other country can win a game that declares the winner as the one to lose the slowest.
Buckle-up, it'll be bumpy, but Main Street is far more important than Wall Street.
Thats what Trump is using tariffs for.
I wouldn't get too "worried" by what all these so-called experts and politicians are saying.
Afer all, they're the same people who want us to keep doing what got us $40 trillion in debt, and hollowed out our manufacturing base, while they fattened their wallets, all the while the American worker became more productive but got paid less.
re: "Our stock market is down, a good bit, but the foreign markets are crashing."
Does everyone remember Peter Navarro? He was one of the Trump team gentleman who the unelected, treasonous biden faux administration locked up (meaning took away his freedom and locked him in a fucking jail cell) for 4 months for failing to go before the bullshit J6 Star Chamber - as was Steve Bannon. Don't ever forget what they did to them and all the J6 people who were unlawfully locked up by biden and that MF'er merrick garland and their team of criminals.
With all that said Navarro is back in the fight as a key POTUS advisor! Here is an excellent interview of Navarro by Maria Bartiromo's stand in yesterday, pertaining to tariffs, etc. It is MUST watch if you want the truth instead of the lies from the MSM: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3dv8FFTBSU Please, I urge everyone, take the time to watch it, you will be glad you did, and then send it to any indoctrinated lunatics you may have in your life so they too can become informed. It and the excellent information provided by Jeff C in his 4 Apr post: https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/the-first-seal-friday-april-4-2025 are excellent primers for those seeking to understand the truth of the situation.
Navarro interview is excellent! Thanks for the link and I urge all C&C readers to check out the link!
Thanks J! Please try to share it widely as you can. Its a really great interview of a really smart and all-in American Patriot.
Peter Navarro is awesome. His intern Garrett Ziegler is behind Marco Polo and the Hunter Biden laptop from hell.
😆 I tried to “save” Jeff’s “best” stacks, only to find every.single.one made the grade. 🤣
Lolol
I like watching Maria's interviews, but I do find her voice a problem. I turn down volume to limit her reach (screech?), I cannot hear the other--Brooke Rollins, this a.m.
I don’t know about her voice, but she looks way too much like Sophia Loren for me to discount her. Classic Roman look, a true beauty. Ok, well maybe not as stunning as Sophia, but you get the point.
Agree, she is pretty damned hot for a 57 year old woman.
She's damned smart too! Beauty and Brains - my kinda woman!
Give her a listen—let me know what you think.
I like Maria’s voice a whole lot better than the adenoidal brunette sometimes on The Five. I have to leave the room!
I think you are referring to Jessica Tarlov, a far left lunatic? Luckily, I can't hear a word she has to say!! ;-)
OMG, yes. I often turn off the volume when she's speaking. Nails on a chalk board.
I think she’s v good
Me too!
This particular interview of Navarro was not done by Maria, it was done by her well informed stand in, Jackie.
Excellent interview with Navarro! Thank you for sharing! I’m passing it on to everyone I know.
Trump is maximizing America First leverage. The Globalists, Wall Street, Hedge Funds, E.U. And the CCP are on their heels. Margin Calls and manufactured Hysteria are driving the much needed Stock Market correction. It will take years to reshore Manufacturing back to America but, in the long run America will be in a much better place.
I for one love the idea of going back in time 100+ years!! Please for health and FAMILY!
democrats - our team is behind in the first inning - fire the coach and GM - nope Trump is doing what needs to be done
Don’t give any advice but poison pill advice to Democrats.
Tariffs...
The reactions this morning are all spot-on! Armstrong just posted the longest post I've seen from Armstrong, 14 minute read...................................................
Why is Trump Using Tariffs? The Truth That Has Misled the World on Tariffs
Posted Apr 6, 2025 By Martin Armstrong
For all the criticism of Trump and the risk of a global trade war, as Macron wants to unleash a trade war to elevate France to the top of the EU, if we just look at the data, we can see why Trump has taken this approach. Even those Republicans like Rand Paul joining the Democrats in calling tariffs a tax, none of them are looking at this issue objectively or seriously. Under the Biden Administration, not only was there a wholesale invasion of illegal immigrants, but on the trade front, he paid no attention at all, and most seemed to assume he was too senile to pay attention.
They are resoundingly calling Trump insane, mainly because they have something to lose. Free Trade has been one-sided. There is a risk that France will push to impose trade barriers against others to support their Marxist agenda. That will be devastating, but we see the world economy headed into a recession for the USA, yet a Depression for the EU. The fact that Trump imposed a 10% tariff on the UK but 20% on the EU is actually driving a wedge between Starmer’s dream of overruling BREXIT to get back into the Marxist utopia of the EU.
In addition, the belligerence of Macron is having an impact. There is a growing discontent with the European Union and the 20% tariff on the EU, with Macron vowing that full retaliation may prove to be the wedge that starts the fragmentation of the EU. Hungary has its own currency and can quickly leave the EU and resume trade with both the USA and Russia. Ukraine has long suppressed the Hungarian people trapped within the boundaries of Ukraine. The same is true for all of those members questioning the EU yet did not join the euro....
...To argue that the tariffs were even a significant cause of the Great Depression is really ridiculous. It was the product of Democratic propaganda to blame the Republicans for everything, which worked in the end. The real cause that wiped out the world economy came from Sovereign Debt Defaults. Because these were sold in small denominations to the average public, those who believed the stock market was risky and bought bonds suffered the total loss of their investment.
Here is a chart of the bonds that were once listed on the New York Stock Exchange. We can see the collapse in the value of bonds dwarfed that of equities. While the Dow Jones Industrials collapsed by 89%, the bonds collapse 100% and never returned. The collapse in debt saw American municipal also suspend payments. The City of Detroit suspended debt payments in 1937 and resumed in 1963 so they can claim they never defaulted.
The collapse in the bond markets was far more serious than tariffs.
Stock Market Crash = Recession
Bond Market Collapse = Depression
https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/international-news/trade-war/why-is-trump-using-tariffs-the-truth-that-has-misled-the-world-on-tariffs/
Jeff: "Some commenters already speculate that Trump’s tariffs could shatter the European Union."
And therein right off the bat is one of the primary objectives!
And a lot of Europeans have had it with Brussels and the EU and bankers like Macron. Just look at Marine le Pen and the AfD as examples of 'democracy' in action. There's a huge surge of national populism. Trump's tariffs are absolutely supporting this. Why else would the EU globalists be freaking out so much? They are haemorrhaging power all over.
Stock crash = recession, bond crash = depression. True.
But, we are in a sovereign debt crisis. I believe Trump has the tools and the guts to pull us back from the brink, but the problem is this mountain of debt is too much.
Option A: Inflate the debt away - the end game of all fiat currency (hyperinflation)
Option B: Default on debt. Bonds go to zero. Chaos.
Option C: Try to push the problem down the road in the stairstep inflate/recession
We are on the brink of A or B in the next decade.
A return to the gold standard, please.
...in other words, destroy the international banking debt system and cartel! Trump is "going to the mats" against the financial slaver cartel and against the Marxist/drug cartels. This is what winning a war looks like.
This is the problem of "empire" and why they always end - eventually - either willingly or not so willingly.
It's an entire program of Restructure of Western World ... all areas of endeavor. Not only here, but the smashing of Globalism in the UK and Europe is essential for the program to succeed. This is what we are seeing. The political component to smashing Globalism in Europe is clearly seen in Vance's remarks, but also in support of reversing what was done to Marie Le Pen.
I agree with Armstrong. It is the fake popular conventional to blame Smoot-Hawly for the depth of the Great Depression. The real truth is that Roosevelt drained billions of dollars out of the American economy through gold bullion purchases, purchases which pushed US gold reserves to around 19,000 tons versus around something like 8,000 today. It really comes down to No Money circulating, No Work.
The only danger I see is the division of our politics from a competitive left/right model in which both parties held all economic classes into a model now that is the affluent versus the working class. Democrats are becoming more like the 18th century Jacobins who took Paris into the Terror. A poll of Democrats found that 55% said assassination is an appropriate response to political opponents. When a society shifts most of its wealth to the top, as Scott Bessent described yesterday, political destabilization is not far off.
America needs spiritual revival - the gospel of Jesus Christ
It's spreading--been watching it here for the last 4 years.
The darkness has been in charge so long that it is taking time for that to lift in many hearts and minds. The people held by the darkness are actually afraid of the Light. Kind of like what happens with cockroaches.
True.
GOD BLESS AMERICA 🇺🇸
And President Trump, at least he is doing something, not just talking.
I do believe that The Lord spared him for a lot of reasons and he just verily had started.
He so far has changed Canada, Mexico and the Ukrania fiasco, I can’t wait to see the rest.
Godspeed.
I like most of what Trump has done, but he has two massive glaring FAILURES so far:
1. FAILURE to release the Epstein video evidence.
2. FAILURE to ban the mRNA death jabs.
3. Supporting the mass-murdering Zionist filth of Israel.
4. Bombing Yemen (a clear war crime)... no benefit to America, only to Israel.
5. Preparing to go to war with Iran on the orders of Israel and Butcher Bibi.
We could very well LOSE.
Paid for my honest opinion? By whom?
And yes, only two. I know some people are upset about his support for Israel too, but that is universal among American presidents.
How much do you get paid to be a bootlicker?
I am not fickle. On board the MAGA train for the long haul. No one is perfect and rides are bumpy yet if what we want comes to fruition, best days ever!
Hear, hear!
Sure, but how is everyone (here) seeming to miss the elephant in the room - that a massive recession hurts main street, then the billionaire class buys up more assets of ours for pennies on the dollar? I think Jeff is correct in saying that crashing the stock market may be part of the plan, but it isn't to help we the people - it is to further consolidate wealth amongst the richest on the planet. 2/3 of Americans live paycheck to paycheck We aren't the ones who will be buying when the market is low - it is the Warren Buffets of the world.
The problem is "main street" is based on a total misallocation of resources AND labor as a result of the liberal financialization of the labor market. The "hurt" to Main Street will only be the adjustment and reallocation of labor to actual, real productivity. This "hurt" will be short-lived as the US market begins to boom as a result of industry returning to the US. Likewise, the fall in the US stock market, where Main Street has their retirement funds, will quickly find a bottom and recover. However, the crash overseas, especially in the EU, is not going to be so kind. See the Armstrong link I posted.

Yes, the smart oligarchs will see this coming and buy into the bottom. Those that backed the liberal Marxist agenda and didn't get out ahead of time are only going to have huge losses.
Trump is taking on the entire world, and he's starting to win regardless of what the CIA mainstream whore media and the Blackrock-Vanguard-Rothschild bankster controlled stock markets are telling you. This is the biggest economic revolution since 1913 and the banksters want YOU and Trump to capitulate, and embrace their fiat economic serfdom forever. Todd Callender and Lee Vliet are back to discuss the latest, including receipts!

Again, most people don't directly own stocks - they have retirement funds that are invested in the market. This has a very real potential to hurt main street. I hope I am wrong and this is some grand economic revolution, but I am far too cynical to believe that. If Trump actually went after the central bankers, then yes, a real revolution that would help everyone - not just the filthy rich - would be more realistic, but that is not happening, and I highly doubt it will happen.
Agree. The average American is invested in the stock market via their retirement funds. They are not traders. The stock market correction is not happening because of Trump. A stock market correction was going to happen with or without Trump. He is only the trigger. If he accomplishes his full agenda, the the correction will be short-lived and healthy. Only when a Gov't intervenes and tries to stop a correction - such as FDR in the 30s - only then do the corrections not recover quickly.
As for the international debt system banking cartel, this is at root the cause and support for all that is wrong. Trump is not "business as usual". He has launched war upon the entire geo-political structure of the West and intends to totally remake it. This will eventually result in a direct attack on the international banking system. And Trump cannot do otherwise now. He knows that if he falters in his purpose, that this would be the death of him and his entire family and legacy. He is all in and it is all or nothing. Undoing what was done in 1913, abolishing the Federal Reserve, establishing an international dollar on real assets rather than debt, eliminating the banking cartel's geo-political control of endless wars for profit and decoupling Main Street from the financialization of the US will necessarily require the destruction of the centuries old debt slavery of the international banking cartel. This is a complete reset.
But see, Johnny, there you are waxing negative, but why? Do you have any suggestions? All you seem to say is "everyone should be aware of this", yes, just as we've been aware of everything in the last administration, trying to focus on the positive at the time instead of pointedly and repeatedly focusing on the bad.
Cynicism kills far faster than optimism.
Thank you for this insight into retirement funds, was ready to go Warren B and pull mine!
I'm just pointing out something folks here seem to be dismissing. IF there is a major market event, it will hurt main street. The big fish will get bigger, per usual. People need to pull the blinders off and recognize the reality of the situation.
What is the middle class whose retirements in 401Ks and IRAs supposed to do?
Don't panic.
@Susan- they'll rebound
Maybe/hopefully....but too bad for the people who were gearing up to retire - they either lose big time or they have to put off retirement for several years while they wait for the rebound.....
If you're not financially ready for retirement by age 55, you probably never will be.
Sorry, work till you die or try to live on your $1300 SS.
Gold and silver sure will... but I doubt the stock market will anytime soon...
Perhaps a small bounce. JMHO
@Dude- quite possibly but we made it through the Covid supply chain issues and the lower markets so there's hope.
Well, that sucks.
But the market needed a healthy reset. P/E ratios are way too high.
That said, don't forget the market, at its high (prior to tariffs) had doubled since the plandemic.
Hang on. It'll work itself out.
Hold on. I have had my portfolio since 2010 and over those 14 years it has tripled in value. I also have a company managing it because I am clueless about investments and have no desire to learn.
Roll them over to something else since you are worried. Easy Peasy.
Milton Friedman had a great analogy about that. If one person in a boat starts shooting holes in the bottom of the boat, you don't also start shooting holes to fix the problem.
Maybe if you have an extra boat and the other person doesn't
Thats the pot calling the kettle black!....:)
Its mayhem between my ears! I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy!...lolol.
They usually do, but how long? A decade? What about those slated for retirement in the next few years?
Exactly right, gravy train derailing…
👍🏽
Trump's initial tariffs almost crashed our bond markets... which is the only reason he quickly reversed them.
It was a REALLY bad move, not well thought out, obviously.
The bond market may still collapse and when it does (not if)... get ready for another Great depression... our currency will not be worth spit.
I'm still MAGA, but Trump is not without DEEP flaws.
These are awesome links.
Thx for sharing, NAB!
And they really hate the big huge German shepherd watch dog sitting at the front gate.
Bumper sticker!
Hang tough with WHAT???? Nothing bad is happening to the U.S. because of the soon-to-be-effective tariffs, for God's sake. The ONLY negative outcome right now is the stock market going into an epileptic fit due to an imaginary, self-induced, irrational, emotional response to something THAT HASN'T EVEN HAPPENED. This frenzy in the stock market and in the media is just one more deep state psy-op rearing its malignant head into the public domain. For God's sake, all those people at the rallies this weekend, couldn't even say one thing about how tariffs or DOGE or Trump was negatively impacting their lives. This is 2020's Covid lockdown mania redux. I pray that THIS TIME, Trump stays strong and doesn't buckle under the fake pressure.
My step mom emailed me this weekend saying that she lost $50k. She was joking, shes been in the market for over 50 years and knows how it goes, but she’s 85 and a lot of people her age are losing their minds because their portfolio dropped.
First, why are you in stocks, which have volatility, if you aren’t prepared to handle volatility? This adjustment isn’t a surprise, you should have switched to safer things after the election. Second, the market will rebound, probably quickly. But so many older people only watch legacy media and lap up whatever they’re being told. That’s why all the protestors are white people over 70. IMHO.
You haven’t lost anything unless you sell. There’s no reason to sell.
That's right. I listened to the first part of the Peter Navarro interview clip another commenter linked, and that's what he said right off the bat. It goes against our emotions, but the rule has always been "buy low, sell high". There will be buying opportunities to get stocks on sale!!!
Exactly
That's my perspective. And the one I act on.
I started purchasing stocks with good fundamentals and dividends this morning. The opportunities are out there.
This! Hang tight!
Boom.
"HANDS OFF! My deepstate, my fedocracy, my portfolio, my 20 Chinese-made prescriptions, my whole FAKE world of comfortable authoritarianism!"
Had "350" Fauxtestors Saturday afternoon in my mountain community; the entitled white baby boomers and their cadre of younger acolytes in the DemoCult "Resistance II" movement.
...and their butt ugly sneakers made by slave labor.
..... their extremely expensive " ... butt ugly sneakers made by slave labor."
Sounds like Asheville. 🤪🙄
Colorado is an ASYLUM for the Progressively INSANE and it is run nearly 100% by the inmates
Yes my retired friend 60-something is freaking out about his retirement. He's a liberal though, which means they are in constant freak-out mode about something all the time.
All the drama, all the time.
Yep, drama queens on jabs & boosters!
I spent the four years of the Biden admin in more-or-less constant freak-out mode, too. About the culture shift to insanity and Covid, at first, then lockdowns, jabs, the threat of my loss of livelihood over my aversion to the jabs, the buildup to the election and the possible election of the queen of dimwits to the presidency. All the while I was constantly pissed at Fauci and his cronies. There was a lot of anger in me, and it aged me a bit, even as I tried to let it go.
Now with the idiot libs protesting, burning cars, etc., I'm not angry so much as amused. I'm definitely at peace more, but feel the buildup toward confrontation coming. I'm praying Trump is who he presents himself to be, that he is for his country and its people, because if it's all a sham, it would be a tragic wasted opportunity to really turn the country and the world around. If we can live through this "adjustment" without the crazies starting a civil war, and get to a freer, more prosperous place for all, it would be a welcomed miracle.
Jeff's daily column has done a lot to give me a sense of perspective and to encourage my sense of humor, and the comradery and common cause of the commenters has given me a sense of a wider network of people who see the world a lot like I do.
Choose your closest friends wisely.
Do not become united with people who do not believe in Christ. God has made you right with himself. Right and wrong cannot work together. Light and dark cannot join together. 2 Corinthians 6:14 (EASY)
Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? II Corinthians 6:14 (NKJV)
Trump has held his same economic beliefs since the 1980s, I really think he is what he portrays himself to be. At least for the most part.
Wondering to my husband yesterday--with that "nation-wide protest"--all the outrage, the emotional whatever, isn't that a lot of cortisol being released? Wonder if it's shortening their lives. One can only hope. That combined with their multi-shot Covid injection program. Self-administered assassination....
Odds are they hold stocks in Disney & other leftwing scams.
He needs another booster.
He's already half-crippled. I don't have the heart to ask him how many jabs he's fallen for.
People suddenly have amnesia that stocks go up and down :)
Swings in the markets are like climate change, it's natural
So good! You are 100% right Valerie, and if everyone will STFU and realize any move they make in the market right now is going to be costly, so dont Fucking move! They are paper losses UNLESS you move now. Stay put, the DJIA will rebound and grow to over 50k when it is all said and done! This is a correction which has been coming for a while and now they are going to try and blame it on Trump's policies to weaken him and all the great things he is doing FOR US!
Yes, exactly!
My wife and I were talking about the woke protest mobs that took over our downtown on the weekend, and hoping a bunch of them panicked and dumped at the bottom. Less dollars to contribute to lib PACs.
F.A.F.O. on any market moves.
Definitely. The DJIA is off nearly 5000 points, more than 10%. Its near impossible for me to figure out how to time the bottom for when to get in stocks. If you have any hints, Im all ears… I don’t think it can get to -20% but maybe -15%?
It only becomes real if you make a stupid move, like believing all the MSM hyperbole and bovine excrement about the sky falling. It is falling, for the globalists, and that’s a damn good thing for us!
Yeah anyone over 65 without a huge cushion of $ is pretty much screwed if they haven’t fixed their portfolios to something stable (although bonds are maybe not a sure thing either). My retirement fund actually has a nice cash holding that has a seven year return o 6-7% which I switched all my foreign investments to a few months ago. I’m glad I did right about now.
THIS! For younger investors, this is a FANTASTIC time. Keep the dollar cost averaging on high, people. This is a great opportunity.
I was talking to my 20-year-old yesterday about how it’s such a great time to buy. We give him $500 at Christmas every year (only since he turned 18, so like $1500 so far) into a Fidelity account to learn about the market. He’s super excited to watch it grow and learn about stocks.
I've been shopping for the past month--and put more into my account Friday.
Totally agree. I'm almost retirement age and I choose to be invested in the stock market KNOWING that it has ups and downs, and there may be a black swan event, and that's on me! If I wanted to play it safe, I would have put my retirement funds in CDs.
I wonder what Blackrock's portfolio looks like right now.
Crashing, one hopes.
Agreed Valerie. I was pretty aggressive compared to my co workers in 2020 and moved mine. Gotta know what you’re doing a little bit
Exactly!!!!
If I'm not mistaken most if not all big swings in the US stock markets are controlled/manipulated by banks & their owners. They try to use the markets the same way I use a leash on a pup; for control.
This!
Excellent Ann. And for Trump to stay strong, that means we too must stay strong and not buckle but in fact, be loud in supporting his plans, policies, actions. Everything he is doing is to restore the USA, to the great discontent of the globalists who thought they had destroyed us.
💯!!!
Most Americans are getting it, 30% or so will never get it because they are part of the problem. If we keep working with POTUS, we can get the approval rating to 70% and then we can put some nails in the globalist anti American haters (CCP, EU, WEF, and including dems and rinos, deep state, etc) coffin.
They won’t listen or hear.
No one likes to see their IRA or 401K go down. However the S&P500 CAPE (cyclically adjusted P/E ratio) is currently 36, which is 80% higher than historical norms! And that is after the last few days drop. Fueled by the easy money policies of the last 15+ years. TSLA P/E still at 121 for goodness sake! Markets are artificially overvalued. Markets have handily beaten inflation for the 10% or so who are heavily invested, but everyone else has been a net loser of the U.S. money printer.
Well said
I almost wonder if this doesn't have the side effect of getting liberals to dump their stocks/empty their 401Ks and lose out benefiting everyone else. I wonder if they will panic enough to do it.
AnnR…100%… 🎯👏🏻👏🏻
I keep seeing people posting panicked comments on social media like “sneakers are going to cost 700 dollars if we move manufacturing to the US because we can’t pay people 2 dollars an hour.” It seems like these people are ok with workers being exploited in other countries (or illegals being exploited here) as long as they can buy what they want for a cheaper price 🤔😑
The old ‘who’s going to pick my cotton’ argument. (Insert eye roll because I’m on my tablet and it doesn’t have emojis)
Here you go! 🙄🙄🙄
😂
The other day I was on my computer, which is rarely where I typed notes and I’m like where are my emojis!? 😆
Open a browser and go to https://emojipedia.org/ and then cut and paste whatever suits you. Easy peasy.
I feel your pain! 😂 (emoji now because I’m on my phone)
We should have picked our own.
Amen.
My parents who were kids during the Depression and WWII, grew up knowing certain things were important, most everything else was not. If you wanted something, not considered a necessity, you worked for it and saved the money until you had enough. There was no instant gratification, but better was the feeling of earning it. They knew God, family, friends and community. I paid my own way through college. There was a work ethic that is sadly missing today. We want it and we want it now, as cheaply and easily as possible. This is the legacy my grandkids are facing.
I agree wholeheartedly with your comment. However, paying your own way through college has long since become a fantasy for millennials and gen z. Along with buying most things, like a home. It went from about 2 times household income in 50-60s to about 5-6 times now. And that's not even counting the astronomica interest cost of mortgage debt of the inflated cost of all other things needed to survive plus bills that never even existed (Internet, cell phone) which are needed for survival now. It was once possible not to have a phone. Everything has increased in cost while wages have all but stagnated.
Lord willing Trump can fix this mess. But ultimately, it is God alone who will pull us out of this mess.
I hope more younger people will consider the trades. Even those who have a college degree could be successful in their own business.
It can be done. I have a friend who’s son is a graduating senior. He’s a quiet kid who didn’t like sports, wasn’t a gamer or computer nerd, mainly because his parents didn’t allow iPads and chromebooks into the house. He loved taking things apart and putting things back together. Chainsaws, lawnmowers and car engines. He was an intern over last summer at semi conductor plant, and stayed on to work part time his senior year. He took high school classes at a local junior college in the trades. He will be graduating Salutatorian of his class. He saved up over $9000 to buy a used truck. And he has almost a full ride to a local college. It can be done, but parents have to think past the traditional 4 year colleges and look at junior colleges and trade schools. Our grandchildren are being brought up on tablets and tv screens. They play video games. Fresh air and actually working at something that requires physical exertion is beyond the pale. We need to get back to basics.
I agree that people should strive to overcome. The issue is that 70 years ago a single man could support a family of four on a single income working a "minimum wage" job with a house and a car. That's the tragedy I'm referencing and the mindset I'm decrying. This era is gone yet people act like it is not.
It used to not be the exceptional story of "it can be done". It used to be the norm. That's my issue and what I find so sad.
Willy wonka syndrome.
Blueberries!!!
Somehow folks don't seem to mind slave labor as long as they can buy those butt ugly sneakers.
Or their iphones & laptops...
That’s what I say buy all the China cheap crap you want if you’re OK with childhood & slave labor!!
Most of a sneakers cost is non-material, non-labor. Marketing, athlete endorsement/cut, etc. People want to own a LeFlop James endorsed shoe so they over pay.
Good point. And when they’re made overseas there’s a greater transportation cost too. There are lots of aspects that could be tweaked to balance the labor costs out.
The sad thing is that many people who buy those 'status sneakers' are the same people who live paycheck to paycheck. Real household budgeting and economics should be a prerequisite to graduating from highschool. Will never happen because the rich like manipulatable people for their products.
Those same people go to protests against, or fake-boycott companies who use child labor - but also use many items that are produced by the same companies. To put it mildly, they are hypocrites + confused.
Reminds me of the susduchess’s purses. The women who make them get about a dollar per. They wind up being $800-3K. When they hit her website.
I am unfamiliar with that brand, but I always say those factories make the same things the high-end and the Walmart by the same people they just sew a different tag in them.
I had to edit my comment because the DailyMail link was behind a paywall.
Here is a link to all the dirty details of Markle exploiting women workers.

Thank you in advance. I’m going to read it now, but I may never find this post again to comment after. 🤣
she's the queen of grift
Yep, I only saw that story recently on how little those workers are earning.
It’s hilarious really, how lefties pivot to supporting things that previously they decried. And to decrying things that previously they supported. They’re all over the map!
A couple of weeks ago we were with my stepdaughter, a liberal, formerly conservative (we think it was her husband’s family that hypnotized her), and we passed a statue of Abraham Lincoln. Mind you, she warned us not to talk politics on this visit, despite the fact that we haven’t breathed a political thought near her in five years as she would explode and stalk off if we did. But she said (in a sort of hiss) that the statue should be removed, presumably because he was a Republican. I commented that that it was Lincoln who helped end slavery, and that he had written that many men had come to him extolling the virtues of slavery, but none had been willing to be a slave. Silence. It astounds me how intelligent people can totally lack nuanced thought. And she is a doctor.
IMHO Derangement comes in all shapes, sizes, genders, and intelligence levels. There is a fine line between wisdom and foolishness. Fools will always fight for their existence while the wise will hold their tongue, listen and watch as the fool digs their pit deeper and deeper.
ha, ha, but these people DO think nothing of forking over 200 for a 20 dollar value pair of sneakers.
I couldn’t agree more
Bur you can crochet beautiful moccasins yourself for $20 and a great deal of self pleasure and gifting. What a beautiful culture shift, backward 100 years! ❤️
I learned to crochet a few years ago, I call it my apocalypse skill. (But I will starve because of my gardening skills) 😅
It's wise to recognize that these skills that our Grands knew were very intellectual and not easily come by but gov has dumbed US down by calling those practices stupid and ignorant. It's very hard to garden not knowing that certain plants like and dislike others intensely or that if you use insecticides that you also kill the pollinators. Thank God for books and Internet! AND FRIENDS!
Fyi of it wasn't for my adult daughter who RESEARCHES I writing have a garden either although she got her desire from me. ❤️ I knit and crochet. 😁
I did a lot of research for years before I started a garden watched tons of videos. I don’t think my garden got enough sun 🥴 I got huge blossoms on all the plants and then they all just died and it was late in the season.
My friends and I have this same conversation! I always say I’m safe because I do great massages, everyone will support me because they’ll all need me. 😂
The plan is to use robots to build products and keep the production cost down. And create highly skilled jobs to humans with the focus on maintaining the robots - jobs. That is why education is being revamped, to actually improve skills and knowledge without paying $$$$ for a college degree. Over all Intention to keep the costs down. Heard this the other day from one of Trump's team.
Great point!
And it is just bullshit scare tactics and hyperbole. The truth is that the market will find the good shoes at the good prices, unless we continue to allow all the manipulation which is stealing our wealth and power. Innovation is key and it doesn't happen without providing people with the opportunity to succeed without the deck being stacked against them.
I could be wrong but it looks like things are already showing signs of adjusting in a positive way. The apoplectic media is such a cruel infliction on low information viewers. I can’t help but think things may adjust before the Walmart employees have a chance to get their “mark-up sticker” guns loaded.
I wouldn’t be surprised at anything at this point. It could very well be that this gets resolved relatively quickly as you say, and then it will be interesting to see how the doomsayers will frame it 😑
My daughter always asks for the most expensive tennies but I buy them because she will literally clean them with Clorox bleach wipes when they get a little dirty and she puts them in her room on the rack. I buy them a half a size bigger and then she wears the heck out of them. I'm so proud of her. She wants to have nice things but she values them like no other 14 y.o. I know. And she doesn't have 5 pairs. Just one good pair until she grows out of them.
I was stunned to find out people pay lots more than $200 for those butt ugly sneakers and have a whole collection in their closet.
That's the kind of thing that needs to end, anyway, IMHO. I was telling a lib the other day that I'd love to return to the days where you had a couple of extremely well-made, expensive sweaters, that lasted nearly a lifetime, rather than cheap crap from China made out of acrylic that's destroyed after 2 washings. Americans are addicted to crap, and too much of it. That's why there are always lots of storage facilities being built all over the place.
My 20 year dryer went out a few weeks ago. Most people would run out and buy a new one. We could have, but instead, my husband went to YouTube and figured out how to replace the heating element for less than $100. And, no extra dryer in the landfill. We need to get back to that and stop being a disposable/mass consuming society.
When we lived in the city, it amazed me how many people had garages crammed full of crap, while their expensive cars were parked in the driveway!
10000%!! Quality over quantity!
Fast fashion is really bad for the environment.
Somehow Greta did not get the memo.
Too right! Didn’t we also NOT have a problem with landfills back then…? 🤔
Elon should create a sneaker company named DOGE Sneakers. Well made locally, reasonably priced & functionally attractive.
Move over Nike, DOGE is about to step on you!
Love this idea! 😁
Geez. I did pay $150 last fall for a pair of top-grain cowhide hiking boots which I use in the garden. And which may last me for the rest of my life. This is either the third or fourth pair since 1984. For me, it's all about value. My sneakers I've been buying as Walmart.
On welfare
Wonder if you can buy overly expensive butt ugly sneakers with an EBT card.
Exactly. Like the “old days” when we had what we needed … not everything in the world that we wanted. The over consumerism is unbelievable and it is so harmful to the younger generation who think they deserve everything right away. It’s been going on for far too long and it has contributed to the “ lost soul” of our Nation.
What a concept! My long-gone grandparents and I agree.
Doomers: oh noes it's all crashing
Regular People: great opportunity, buy the dip
That’s what I did… I also used it as an opportunity to mentor my son.
Exactly - massive opportunity for those that can see through the noise.
Yep. The DJIA will be going to 50K with President Trumps actions. Im trying to feel for that bottom - an extremely difficult task, I'm just hoping to get close to the bottom - and then I will go all in, knowing what's coming is a booming economy and market.
In times like these it's best to keep your powder dry & eyes opened until bottom is reached. Market rebounds are never always straight back up, they have dips of their own. 2008 was a good opportunity too.
Also a great time to move stocks out of IRA 401(k) portfolio
Into a Roth 🙂
Howard Lutnick concurred, a few weeks ago. I've been a busy little bee acting upon this.
Regular people don't really own stocks and don't have money to buy stocks. THe stocks regular people "own" are through retirement plans. This will again benefit the behemoths of the world. Not main street.
I think I'm a "regular people" and I have "retail investor" accounts of my own, although my retirement accounts are in the hands of a financial advisor.

For You are not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness;
No evil dwells with You.

You hate all who do iniquity.
You destroy those who speak falsehood;

But as for me, by Your abundant lovingkindness I will enter Your house,
At Your holy temple I will bow in reverence for You.

Tucker Carlson interview with a pastor who has decided to remove his family from an environment of "wickedness" to Tenn even though they have lived there for 6 generations. This is informative and a very worthwhile interview............

I have noticed more and more people here on C&C have "liberal" family and friends they are always dealing with. This unequal yoke is a big problem in the church of Jesus Christ today. Yes we are told to love them, be gentle and patient with them (unbeliever) but we are not to be yoked (tied) to them. We are to be a light to them but not fall into their darkness. We pray for them to come into the Light of Jesus.
2 Corinthians 6:14 (GNT) Do not try to work together as equals with unbelievers, for it cannot be done. How can right and wrong be partners? How can light and darkness live together?
I read a review Rod Dreher did of a book Isker wrote. It was very helpful in understanding more about Isker.

Brilliant word-play, Master Jeff! You've crafted a couple of sentences so long, so full of juicy adjectives, that even the apostle Paul would be envious.
Paul could definitely write
The inspiration of the Holy Spirit!
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.
Any one else find themselves humming Mary Poppins’ 🎶 spoonful of sugar song 🎵 all the way down the C&C post today? It’s a fun song! Great post today Mr Childers! Sharing the truth, justice and optimism with as many as I will “take it🥄” 😃
I love that song. When I was 10 years old I sang it, scared to death and shaking like a leaf, at a grade school concert. Everyone needs to go watch the original Mary Poppins movie.
I get what you're saying. In my college-prep English classes at a Christian high school, we were assigned to diagram verses from the King James Bible.
Paul's words in Ephesians 1:3-14 comprise the longest sentence in the New Testament.
It's considered by many scholars to be the longest sentence in the Greek language ever published.
You drove me to it! 201 logoi (although I may have lost or gained ten words at the 90 point.
What an interesting assignment!!! I always loved diagramming sentences, but never thought about trying it with sentences from the Bible.
Amazing alliteration.
That sentence was absolutely spectacular and 100% Jeff.
Yes amazing 🤩
—“where its 27 nations whisper away their sovereignty into a miasmic muddle of policy fog drafted by unelected clerks fluent in cloistered crypto-languages of arcane acronyms and elliptical euphemisms.”
Elliptical euphemisms, in particular, was glorious.

“We are strong and resilient in the face of the U.S. tariff bullying.”
I fail to understand why requesting fairness is considered bullying. I am very tired of being taken advantage of.
Agree!! It’s like saying that the bully who can no longer steal your lunch money is now being bullied by being deprived of your lunch money 🙄
We expect everything to be resolved with in a few days. Amazon delivers in a day, and we've come to expect that with everything.
America has become addicted to Instant gratification. Hopefully decades of raping and pillaging the American Economy are over. Instant Gratification needs to be replaced with the Austerity mindset.
I’m ok with sitting back and waiting it out to see what happens. It’s a working strategy. After all, that’s what my strategy was for Covid jabs—waited to see what would happen. I was already tipped off about them so any confirmation just increased my ability to say no.
Over my lifetime, I am slowly being delivered from evil, as noted in the Lord's Prayer.
I’ve been calling it microwave mentality ever since microwaves have been available.
...and now complain when it’s one day delivery instead of same day delivery!
You cause me to realize another benefit of knitting: it's the opposite of fast fashion. It just takes time to make a garment (whereas, on my sewing machine, I occasionally could make myself a dress in one day).
Jeff, regarding the metaphorical Brussels tower of Babel, the EU HQ is actually designed as the literal Tower of Babel:

"Europe: Many tongues, one voice." <-- in the image above, that slogan is on painting of the original tower on a press release flyer with twelve upside down pentagrams forming a circle around it.
So they're rebuilding a new tower of Babel while their language and imagery thumbs their nose at God who scrambled the languages in order to stop the original...
Wow. How appropriate for me. I just came back from a week long visit to the arc and the creation museum after attending a women's conference at the arc. The tower of Babel yes.
Aren’t both experiences magnificent
They are!
The EU is E Pluribus Unum done the wrong way.
LOL
It's likely the net worth of congress & senate members has dipped considerably. Their insider-trading advantage was probably a no-show this time; I hope so anyway.
Hopefully they didn’t get a heads up

Donald Trump is America's Primal Scream.
A TrumpNado of epic proportions.
WELL SAID!!!
🤣 laugh of the hyena
Good! The stock market crash is a good thing, because the only stocks that are crashing are those of the companies who were stealing money through corruption at USAID.
Thank you, President Trump!
While the potential Starmer speech is intriguing and dare I say exciting; at this point just words. Actions will convince me.
We cannot let down our guard. The Wisconsin judicial special election is a case in point. The enemy will not simply lay down.
Wisconsin needs to challenge that election result. An overwhelming voter turnout to pass a voter registration amendment but a nonpartisan, (liberal) is elected. Something is off. Trump won the state of Michigan but the Republican running for U.S.Senator was narrowly defeated by a Marxist woman. US Senator is right below “President” on the ballot. C’mon….
Agreed. I always wait to see the action. Could care less what leaders say.
That is soon to be overturned.
How about 2020? Do you think they will show it should be overturned, too?
Or Kari Lake’s elections in AZ?
What were are seeing is the fact that the whole world needs free access to the American Consumer market to make their economies better. Trump is the only one willing to leverage that reality in an effort to level the playing field. We have been told forever that the Great Depression was the result of disastrous tariffs. But there is a ton of evidence that the root cause of the great Depression was the failed response by the Federal Reserve and stupid government policies like a tax on every check wrote which was actually done from 1932-1935 the everyday man reacted to the tax by pulling his cash out of the banks and dealing in cash sparking the deposit runs. The Federal Reserve whose only true purpose is the be the lender of last resort to the banks didn’t fulfill that purpose. In fact they shrank the money supply vs expanding it or just keeping it stable. Every single financial crisis in this country since the Fed was created has been caused or made worse by the Federal Reserve. So if they lied to us about Covid-19 why wouldn’t they have lied about the real reason for Great Depression?
The fed is on its last dying gasp. We will go back on gold, and we will eliminate the federal income tax. In our lifetime
Lovely thought. I sure hope you are right.
