Jeff - thank you from the bottom of my heart, and I think I speak for almost everyone here, for continuing to fight the good fight against the vaccine crime. I appreciate your humor and optimism and your willingness to stay at it day after day.

"The American people have been kept from rising against oppression at home by being sent to fight in two world wars in which we the people have had no political or economic stake. Between wars two great depressions have kept our people scrambling for their daily bread. They have not had time to object to anything. Lindbergh's theory that party government is unsuccessful in dealing with economic problems could neither be proved or disproved because party government has not dealt with economic problems since the days of Jefferson and Adams. The architects and contrivers of the economic inequalities and instabilities existing on this country are the leaders and owners of the major political parties. They will not move to improve them."

And thanks for putting up with bots like me. 🤭

RunningLogic's avatar

It would be funny and ironic if the ones accusing you of being a bot were actually bots themselves!

Positively Paying It Forward's avatar

Speaking of Bots:

Who bot(?) who?

“FBI raises ‘alarming’ claims of Chinese interference in 2020 election.”

Really!!

Sure writer didn't have names backward??

Should it not have read??:

“China/Russia (you pick the name/location) raises ‘alarming’ claims of FBI interference in 2020 election.”

Now, that's better.............at least more truthful.

Anytime FBI comes up with/uncovers anything, it's really only to 'cover' their you-know-whats..

Regarding Jeff's comment about the arrest of NYC's Comptroller, here's a definition of their roles/responsibilities:

"A city comptroller is essentially the chief financial officer of the city, responsible for managing the city's budget, maintaining financial records, and ensuring that all financial transactions adhere to state and federal laws."

Now let's see, that means (in NYC) they have front line responsibility of:

Handing out cell phones to all new residents

Providing free airplane tickets to new residents

Ensuring free rent for new residents

Also supplying free gift cards, free grub/meal delivery

Providing free local transportation (subway/taxi/etc.)

And lastly, periodic 'escort' services will be provided by the city's Comptroller if found inside any courtroom or location of arrest.

Big job.

Bgagnon's avatar

Absolutely!!! Thank you JEFF!!!

Yulek's avatar

What is much worse than vaccine injuries are the deaths/executions at the hospitals during COVID era, hundreds of thousands of innocent people killed all over the US by the people they trusted. Unfortunately, almost everyone influential refuses to talk about this horror (including Jeff).

Politico Phil's avatar

Not only have they lost American's trust in Gov't, they have lost Americans trust in the entire medical system. They are morally bankrupt and all Americans know it.

Personally, I think there will be no real accountability for what they did. I hope I'm wrong but I don't see it. There will be plenty of finger pointing but nothing will really be resolved. Fauci will enjoy his retirement until he is 6 feet under. We'll never get him to say who was guiding him. The big people will always walk away while they sink a few small fish.

We’ve got the city on their heels. Their lies can’t be hidden anymore. This is a substantial cost unfortunately for us to continue. Any help and support is greatly appreciated. As well as your prayers.

Each time I see your comments I donate again. I used Stripe this time and had 2s all over my amount. 😂 Keep reaching out! We want to follow this.

I just shared on TS with hashtag SeattleFirefighters (comes up as soon as I typed in #Seattlef).

RunningLogic's avatar

Jeff and C&C fam, can we do a multiplier???

Sunnydaze's avatar

Not sure if Jeff is seeing this. They have posted here before but Jeff has never taken this up. I would love to see a big multiplier to show these firefighters the people are behind them. It would be a huge boost to them if they got that kind of support.

RunningLogic's avatar

I know, I agree! Today might also not be the best day since he was traveling and hasn’t liked any comments as he sometimes will do if he has time.

Sunnydaze's avatar

They have posted before….but it’s always so far down in the comments. This one got a large number of “likes” so maybe Jeff will see it now? I think they should post everyday, immediately. To get Jeff’s attention. 🤷‍♀️

RunningLogic's avatar

Agree. It's probably hard because they're on the west coast and likely can't post early enough to get more visibility.

Sunnydaze's avatar

Oh true! I didn’t even think of the time difference. Shoot.

Beckadee's avatar

Jeff should scream it off the roof tops since he tortured us with the last one- WinRed. Have to be careful leaving them your phone #. Has Jeff ever mentioned how he reacts to guilt?? Asking for a friend. jk

RunningLogic's avatar

I just omitted my phone number. They’re such a pain to deal with 😕

Oregon Kathy's avatar

Yes, let’s help this group! A win here would also impact others still fighting in court.

EDIT: Jeff Childers! 42 people liked this idea. Let’s help out these firemen and help them set a precedent.

Valen Gibbs's avatar

@jeffchilders yes, please help if you can. My husband was one of the Seattle firefighters who got fired by not taking the shots. They make him went in to clear his locker even he was still recovering from job related injuries. He was still under L&I claim at that time. I have to help him to clean out his locker when he was even barely can walk.

Just donated. Took 20 seconds. My husband was a fire fighter. They don’t do it for the money.

Robert's avatar

Okay. Please help Seattle citizens who are under siege. Police dogs would be much more effective than the current pretense of bicycle riding cops. I'm sure they would work fine in vacation areas of the nation, but when city officials purposely weaken the abilities of law enforcement so that Antifa and other mobs are encouraged, you have a criminal administration.

C. Wilson's avatar

Police dogs? I have some experience with that concept. Your suggestion would cause the death of the dogs. They will and have literally run themselves to death. And when they catch what they are chasing, they EAT flesh! It's wonderful to see, actually.

Each tool in the LEO tool kit has it's place. Bikes with officers cannot replace dogs, but big combat trained dogs chasing subjects are probably not the best choice most of the time. And, those dogs are VERY expensive to buy, train, and keep. They need a police officer as well.

Willing Spirit's avatar

Maybe just a half dozen to add to the ambiance. I think it could help.

C. Wilson's avatar

It can be hard on the dogs. They are working dogs. Generally they are not brought in until needed. I worked as a LEO for a very large agency where we had dogs available 24/7. They are not pets unless they are home with the handlers' families. When they are exposed to the general public, people want to come "pet the doggie." Nope. Distracts from the mission. To civilians, it sounds like something neat to do. The dog always comes first.

Willing Spirit's avatar

I kind of get it. I have a big dog; rescued from the humane society, when she was about a year old. Interesting mix of probably pit bull and Rhodesian ridgeback. Very strong, very muscular and very obedient, except I know she would attack any man who came into our house. I have to put her in a bedroom.

Children will ask if they can pet her and I say, “Sorry, I don’t know what she might do.” I have to be on guard when I’m out with her.

She causes some fear for delivery people and such.

C. Wilson's avatar

I used to be president of a humane society. When we had viscious dogs, we dared not adopt them out. We adopted a problematical dog a year ago. We took him as far as we could and turned him over to a professional trainer. Board and train. We got back a dog we can take anywhere and have no more worries. Your dog sounds similar. Generally they are afraid and it's fear biting. It's still biting. Our dog is now happy and relaxed. So are we. There is hope for you.

Robert's avatar

Ridiculous comments. YOU distract from the mission.

alongername's avatar

Gives some real meaning to the words ..."Dog eat Dog "

and a new catch phrase : "Spit and get Bit ! "

C. Wilson's avatar

When a dog bites, there is a procedure. The dog must go to the special K9 vet contracted by the agency. Plenty of paperwork. K9 bite is on the level of an officer discharging his/her firearm.

Robert's avatar

Yeah. No kidding.🙄

Police officers with trained and tethered dogs. The situation in Seattle isn't funny. Neither is your comment.

C. Wilson's avatar

you seem confused. My comment was not funny, but you have the charisteristics of a troll.

Reelin’ In The Fears's avatar

I’d really like to believe that the ChiCom plot to interfere with the 2020 election will eviscerate the MSM/legacy media and take out Wray, et. al. But I’m skeptical. But, alas, far too many Americans continue to “read the daily news and swear by every word” *

So I’m not getting my hopes up.

Who will mow my lawn!

Kitkat's avatar

People are shocked that I mow my own lawn, wash my own car, clean my own house.

I grew up in the 70ys...kids were the "illegal aliens" of the time. We did all those chores ourselves.

Sierra Carr's avatar

From the time I was 5 years old thru my teens, I spent all summer in the fields picking strawberries, raspberries, blackberries and beans in the PNW as my grandparents leased fields and grew these products. We (my siblings and I) didn't get a choice and we didn't complain. It was what we knew and we loved our grandparents.

Juju's avatar

On top of all that my first job in middle school was pulling weeds in soybean fields for the farmer we rented our house from. Then one of my first “summer” jobs in high school was detasseling corn for area farmers (I think owned by DelMonte.) They rounded up all the high school kids in all the neighboring towns and offered somewhat decent pay - good enough for a student.

Jeff S's avatar

My two older brothers and I delivered newspapers for several years, assisted by our father. We boys each earned a few dollars per week. We also shoveled snow from driveways and sidewalks for a few quarters per job. The worst: mowing lawns. Paid less than the shoveling. We used an old cylinder mower. Pushed it around. Powered by our legs and arms. Dad refused to "waste" money on a gas contraption.

Janet's avatar

Hubbys father lost his machinist job. He and his brother delivered a hundred newspapers sharing one bicycle for 2 routes. His dad had a route also. This was survival money. Raised rabbits for sale. Mowed lawns. They shoveled in the winter. Hubby paid his own college.

In jr. high, I hoed weeds out of sugarbeet fields alongside the migrant workers for a brief time. Back then the workers were nomadic, moving around the west working on farms. The next summer I worked in the Headstart program serving the children of the migrant farmers.

Valerie's avatar

We called our kids ours ‘slave labor’ when they were growing up (tongue in cheek, of course). Now that the last one is in college, we’re having to do things like wash the windows ourselves and we are not fans, lol.

Juju's avatar

I admit as we contemplated last night having our youngest come home for a while, (he just graduated with his masters this weekend and being an autistic white male with a 3.96 GPA in Software Engineering is unable to get a second interview much less an offer,) and I may have gotten more than just a little excited over the addition of some slave labor back into the household. 😆

C. Wilson's avatar

I pray for you. For someone like your son, there IS a great job out there. He just hasn't found it yet. It took me 4 years after my graduation, many years ago, to find a job in my field. Then I hit gold! I was a female in a traditional male field. There are things we cannot change about ourselves, but there is always someone who turns out to be the Angel we need. Angels are all around and sometimes/often they don't look like what they are!

Juju's avatar

❤️💕❤️💕 He definitely needs an angel!!! He’s very bright and competent, but his personality is impacted by his autism, aaaand so is his outward appearance so those looking for a charismatic, influential personality don’t like him. That’s tough. He’s been depressed and anxious because he is aware of it and can’t do much about it.

We decided to have him come home to continue his job search while he gets emotionally and physically healed. Our entire household is 100% Keto so if you live here you can’t help but benefit from the healing effects of that (transformative for our older son…)

That is hard to do on your own when you’re strapped for money and full of anxiety, so our taking care of that for him will leave his mind free to focus on the job search as well as hopefully finding a way to grow closer to God. Matthew 6:33 “Seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and all these things will be added unto you.”

Now I just need to figure out how to assist him in seeking God’s Kingdom.

Valerie's avatar

That’s just tragic. I’ll pray that he is able to find a good position.

Juju's avatar

Thanks! He sure could use prayer.

Sherry's avatar

The narrative that we need illegals for farming and to pick our crops, is a flat out lie. The US has Temporary Agriculture Visa’s, its uncapped and allows non citizens to come and do seasonal work and then go home. Until twenty years ago, Mexicans can to our little town and lived in little houses built for them to pick tomatoes.

The bigger problem is that politicians need to look at corporate farming and start restricting it. It’s as big a threat to our country as our foreign adversaries. If the same 4 corporations that own all of grocery stores and food manufacturing also own all of the farms, just what do people think will happen to our food chain. They will control prices, healthy choices, how much food people get, etc. Why doesn’t government use antitrust laws on our food? !!!!

Robots with refractometers in-built so they can sense the degree of maturity (degrees Brix---the higher the number, the higher the $$ for the farmer) of the produce and pluck it with a more delicate touch.

Here in Oregon, I ask "what meat?". Higher prices every week and empty shelves...

Karen Bandy's avatar

We just bought some from a local grower here in Central Oregon. We’re eating less than we did, but I think that started last year when prices started shooting up higher, the supply issues started before that of course. At least now what we eat is locally grown, grass fed and fairly priced, maybe even better than Costco. I’ve heard rumors that costco growers aren’t following good practices. Who know?

Very sadly masking is equivalent to solidarity confinement or in the loony padded room with all the others because no one is going to approach you when you are giving the clear message that you are insane and that you believe everyone else is.

I was actually revulsed and almost sick to my stomach when I would see "masked marauders" while out and about. NOW???? I just pray for them and feel a deep sadness!

Willing Spirit's avatar

I still feel sick and repulsed.

Yes..."ditto" on my home front my youngest son and his wife are 'mired in confusion and belief in the false doctrine of "state loves me". I find it monstrous since they are both born again believers in the Lord Jesus Christ!

Sharon Beautiful Evening's avatar

I know, RS....I know!! It's so amazing to me how many MILLIONS believe "the state" is concerned with their personal welfare. It saddens me to the core. I have ALWAYS been keenly aware of the tenuous condition of "personal and medical freedom" in humanity. The USA is the LAST BEST HOPE for those freedoms and we are on the 'cusp' of either HOLDING onto them or LOSING THEM FOREVER!

I don’t agree he redeemed himself. He said to obey the Feds. They have authority. Arnold in both statements exhibited the same Germanic authoritarianism. ‘Obey the Feds’ ‘Screw your freedoms’ are logically consistent.

Her hatred for America is so deep that she can’t hide her glee over disaster.

On the subject of the stolen election in 2020, there is already adequate proof that it occurred because if the Hunter Biden laptop story had not been suppressed or characterized as Russian propaganda, polls taken shortly after the election showed that 9% of Biden voters would have flipped and that alone would have given the election to Trump.

Dave aka Geezermann's avatar

That for sure. And now this added information about the CCP. That was actual election interference by a foreign nation, a serious offense. IMO, it was a combination of many factors that the Dems/deep state used to steal 2020 from the people. The covid scamdemic, the so-called mail-in ballot allowances that were really cover for illegal ballot stuffing, etc. What happened in 2020 was the REAL insurrection. And now we hear Dems crying that the 2024 election was not secure, and Kamabla didn't win because of machine discrepancies and vote flipping. I hope they pursue that in court, so the 2020 fraud will be further exposed.

Since Wray swore under oath he saw no interference other than Russian, maybe he can be prosecuted.

Veranda Vamp's avatar

It increased our standard of living?? It what cost? The elimination of entire industries and jobs in the US…all so we could buy lead paint on children’s’ toys, poisoned pet food, crappy pharmaceuticals that have killed people (look up blood-thinning medication), and generally substandard quality.

Let me add, all while China under cut Americans by using slave labor.

It didn't increase my standard of living having to replace cheap goods in months instead of decades. Give me a break. I havent enjoyed a second of doll sized cheap clothes, appliances that break in months, poison fish or saline injected chicken. China makes crap products and steals our tech. I gladly pay extra for USA products. Speak for yourself.

Jeff, your mention of alarm failures and late flights took me immediately back to my flight attendant days. I used to set 3 alarms when I was in a hotel (phone, the room’s radio alarm, and a call from the front desk), since sometimes I’d have to be up at 3 AM, only to get a call from Scheduling that the flight was delayed. But by then I was already dressed and made up and wasn’t about to go back to bed and undo all that! Gee, those were the days…🥰 Many times I’ve wished I’d never retired early, but covid and DEI ruined it all, and flying will never be the same again. Besides, it’s embarrassing to work with men dressed and made up as women, 5:00 shadow and all. Passengers used to look at me for some kind of answer or reassurance, and I couldn’t give them any. I’m so sick and tired of the Devil ruining the good things in life. What a sublime Day it will be when Yeshua returns…🙏🏻✝️

On the plus side no more “smoking sections” in economy. That was insane. Sure the smoke will stay behind row 35 and not stray anywhere else! Made all the sense.

carily myers's avatar

Years ago, I flew between Athens and Souda Bay, Crete many times (yes, there were goats and chickens amongst us). The left side was "smoking", the right side was "non-smoking". Hahahaha.

No kidding.

Thank you for this comment FEF.

Was that really happening? Criminy. So glad I left the airlines by 2005.

FlatEarthFlyer's avatar

Yeah, unfortunately. And I can’t tell you how many times I “misgendered” people back then, usually women. They’d sit there with their butch haircuts, men’s clothes, no earrings or makeup, and then be insulted when I called them “sir.”

kittynana's avatar

@Flat Earther- HAHAHAHA!!! My husband's niece, whom we love dearly, is a butch lesbian. Built like a concrete house but still likes to get pedicures, etc. She was at our house the other day and our 3 year old grandson wanted to play so he asked "Where's that big guy?" I said "The only big guy here is Uncle (insert uncle's name, my son in law who is 6'7" and 375 lbs)." "No. The big guy with the yellow shirt." Oh! You mean (insert niece's name)?! She's outside on the deck!" OMG. We all died laughing, including said niece. She's a great sport about it. Never, ever takes offense.

@Name- I have a gay friend who is always teasing me about being gay (I'm not). Flannel shirts and Birkenstocks always make the narrative. We joke that my sister is on her 5th Subaru and has a travel friend named (insert woman's name here).

Thank God for the relief we have now. I honestly didn’t think I could take any more.

This is not Jesus. Jesus already has the Crown of Life. “Then I saw The Lamb open one of the seven seals.” He’s already there. Opening the seals.

There are horses in heaven!

I said this to a friend who reported leading an elderly man to a profession of faith in Christ, but then telling him. No, sadly, your little dog can’t be in heaven with you.

She seemed stunned.

Sherry's avatar

I asked a minister that I like very much about our pets in heaven and said if you need them to be there, they’ll be there. My idea of heaven is to be able to pet the lions and the bears and love them up close. And be able to talk to my pets from this life. You can use that idea as a metaphor for living with humans in heaven that we want to love on earth but earthly limitations make it difficult if not impossible.

Good work up there in the capitol! Unfortunately for California if it’s up to the state we’re into the doo doo. But there are ways to skirt the worst of it even though no one—I mean no one in CA—is going to bother to pick it up. So, recently a lawsuit that involved a young student who was going to get kicked out of school because she didn’t have the full course of the school recommended vaccines, although she had a doctor’s excuse and titers for all previous vaccines that showed she was immune. (You know titers are now preferred over vaccines in settings where a person cannot spread a bad disease—like transplant patient caregivers, etc. They don’t want to see your vaccine record, they want to see your titers. Anyway, this lawsuit is going forward after multiple attempts to throw it out due to standing. Hooray. If our students can get one vaccine and then titer out for the rest that is progress.

Oregon Kathy's avatar

How can it be that they’re still requiring vaccine for that for something that isn’t even an issue any longer? Or is Covid now right up there with the other infectious diseases forever? I wish RFK would just stop this progression.

kittynana's avatar

@kapoore- I was an older student (read: older than many of my teachers and professors and clearly older than the students). When it came to my shot records, I didn't have them. My mother was long gone and her house was emptied and sold. They accepted my titers. It's a good idea. Anyone can fudge records but you can't fudge blood.

Copernicus's avatar

Titers are not reliable indicators of immunity.

Doctors *used* to know this.

I remember distinctly being told that this is one of the difficulties in determining vaccine efficacy. Immunity can be present without high or any titers. The body's B-cells still remember how to quickly make the antibodies but have no need to be making them at present. So they don't.

Also, titer levels after viral infections often drop. So, how, exactly, does one *know* based on titers that he is immune to a virus?

Kathleen - did you see where the Dems are now claiming Kamala should have won in 2024, but there was tampering and shenanigans with the machines? They want investigations. I say Bring It, it will only expose the actual insurrection of the stolen 2020 election.

In fact, I hope they force a "do-over" with paper ballots and hand counting. That will show them!

Skeptical Actuary's avatar

It would be good for liberal courts to set the “standing” and other standards based on thinking Kamala got robbed. Then conservatives can use THOSE standards and appeal.

Tiny basket of deplorable's avatar

Dave, unfortunately most of the 2020 paper ballots were destroyed as there is some kind of rule that they only need to be kept for 22 months or something looney like that.

And I actually like having it all over the board. Some days I get to it late and others it’s released late enough for me. Once in a while I catch an early release when he has one and I’m still under my comforter enjoying his prose. But then I’ve never been a routine person at all. I get bored. Every day is different for me. Drives my husband nuts 🤣

Guy White's avatar

Every time I visit DC, which is every few years, I feel like I need to de-louse upon returning home. But the urgency to do so is mitigated if I can walk the grounds of Arlington National Cemetery first. It’s humbling, and yet still so striking to stand on the wooded hillsides amid our fallen heroes and look across to the Capitol where so many self-centered narcissists are unworthy of the sacrifices represented by the rows and rows of headstones. Fortunately that general feeling has been lessened somewhat by knowing that President Trump and his cabinet of committed patriots are in charge now. ‘Murica!
