The Iran War is blowing up —literally AND figuratively— but in a good way, despite corporate media's mendacious framing. Here is what you need to know before diving into the hot takes.
I'm a military mom myself, though my son is currently safe with his ship in dry dock. My prayers are with all families, but especially mommas, whose precious children (we always see them as the little ones we swaddled and fed and rocked) are in harms way! God bless and keep our troops!
Yes! Learning to let them be men , and not allowing our minds to dwell on scary scenarios. Psalms and refocusing with prayer. I myself am skilled at imagining things. 🙄🙄
I have a kid in the military as well. Currently stateside because he and his wife just had a baby, but he repairs IT infrastructure so it won’t be long til he goes over there.
Are you in touch with clinics like Leading Edge clinic run by Dr Pierre Kory, another one is with the IMA , a clinic that has protocols for treatment of vaccine injuries.
Hi Jeff! Just finishing watching your Mike Rowe podcast and reading yesterday's post. Have not missed a single post since early 2021 and tell everyone I can about C&C! My 14 year old daughter loves it when I read C&C to her EVERY morning over the past year or two. Her worldview training, and narrative/propaganda discernment skills are that much sharper because of it (not to mention her deep appreciation for and employment of the now famous Childerian wit!)
Just wanted to say thank you for all you do and all the optimism and encouragement and sarcasm you bring to all of our morning routines! My Americano tastes that much better with C&C!
Thanks for the reminder Dave. Promethean Action helps me to understand the geopolitical world, the strategy and success Trump is having. Along with reading C&C.
That is AWESOME training for that young mind K2!!! You are teaching her how to spot propaganda and teaching discernment. Excellent choices! I'm sure she makes an impression on the other teens when she can confidently speak about world matters! LOL!
Take note parents with kids still at home! Share this with your kids every day! They’ll
Know more than their teachers! Once they’re in college, if they go, the chances are slimmer that they’ll take your advice regarding this column. Start early!
“I was able to get another high dose steroid in him about half an hour ago. This is only kicking the can down the road.
We are going to confer with the hematologist today (pray that is soon).
They don't have the expertise for this crisis. It is a silent crisis similar to the ventilator patients in the Covid hospitals- the O2 level looks normal while the body is attacking red blood cells and organ failure can take place.
The steroid keeps the inflammation or inflammatory process down and the immune response down just enough, but it is not a long term resolution.
The crisis is dire.”
C&Cers: Your fervent prayers are needed.
For anyone here not familiar with this story, here is my previous post:
Never been a stronger kid facing death down daily or a momma & Daddy bears fighting to keep him alive. More about attempts to get legislation in Florida to help victims like Cody at Www.codyslaw.org. right now they need all the prayer & financial support possible. Heather, Cody's mom, has one hand with a shield defending Cody & the other hand on a sword putting together data & research to help others & blow the whole vaccine scandal wide open. Please continue to lift them all in prayer & anything financially helps tremendously. They are relentlessly in the trenches of what the covid bioweapons are & did.
I am praying for them Laura and will continue. I also hope the hematologist is able to effect some changes/progress. Inflammation can wreck your world, esp the immune system.
There are several efforts going on to remove immunity or the liability shield on those poison jabs.
“As You sent Me into the world, I also sent them into the world. For their sake I sanctify Myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth. I do not ask on behalf of these alone, but for those also who believe in Me through their word; that they may all be one; even as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be in Us, so that the world may believe that You sent Me. The glory which You have given Me I have given to them, that they may be one, just as We are one; I in them and You in Me, that they may be perfected in unity, so that the world may know that You sent Me, and loved them, even as You have loved Me. Father, I desire that they also, whom You have given Me, be with Me where I am, so that they may see My glory which You have given Me, for You loved Me before the foundation of the world.”
One morning, possibly very soon, we will wake up to the news that the US is withdrawing all support for Ukraine. Garments, prepare to be rent, pearls clutched.
And while we are at it, why don't we just repossess all the war materiel that we so generously heaped upon the Ukrainians? I'm sure our stockpiles of weapons are getting low after all these bombings, so I'm sure they still have a nice little stack over there in Ukraine that we can take back now.
While he's pushing everyone aside like stale banana muffins, (or perhaps more accurately, revealed who ARE the stale banana muffins), I wish he would completely, totally, unequivocally, unabashedly, obliterate any ties to the CDC (Certified Drug Cartel). That woud be putting Americans first. We've experienced enough of their particular brand of help to last several generations. Not only are they stale, they're highly toxic.
Yes, interrupting the cash flow of one the largest criminal cartels on the planet would only succeed in creating an uptick in missing persons and/or a high body counts.
If I can believe what I’m reading, he’s taken steps to “limit, restructure, and oversee” the agency, not toss it into the Mariana Trench, which would be preferable.
Unfortunately there's the things you want to do, and the things you can do (or think you can do), and they seem to seldom be the same. But, i'm still impressed at the things Mr. Kennedy is doing so far.
I believe starmer will be seen as the most disastrous PM we've ever had, overseeing irreparable damage to the trans Atlantic alliance and the death of NATO. I might have to use the service of Jeff to help me with a political asylum request for Florida residency 😃
I read the conservative woman each ( TCW) morning. Very valuable. Dave,you are in a hell of a mess there. My sis lives in Ireland—not much better. As Jeff remarked, Starmer looks like a taxidermy display that is talking sheer nonsense. His eyes look like the animal right before it became a taxidermy display. .
We won't forget his folly of not helping. We will not forgive either. Let Europe go to Hell. Oh that's right it is; Europe is now Islamic. Good luck with that.
'Suppose when Trump wins the Iran war, and reopens the strait without European help, he then turns to American voters and says, “I asked them to help protect the oil that they need, and they said no— so remind me why we are paying $800 billion a year to defend them?'
Immediately following a statement like this, the Congress will send another $800 billion. Convince me I'm wrong.
Interesting how that is widely accepted as fait accompli, ignoring that such predictions always come from the legacy media and useless polls. Time will tell.
Johnny O called me a retard on a comment I made yesterday. I think he is a Lib-tard that has trolled the blog to infiltrate and cause problems with C & C'ers. I tried to block him but just reported instead.
Both parties support the war machine. Matt Taibbi said that the FIRE sector is like a ''great vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity, relentlessly jamming its blood funnel into anything that smells like money".
They are all over. Must mean Jeff is over the target.
Also, I blocked a couple of the ones that annoy me the most, the ones that throw bombs but never actually contribute anything to the discussion. Highly recommend.
They are all over substack lately. I have my news feed very well curated, but any time I go to the search section, I am always struck by how much of it is left-leaning.
$4 dollars a gallon for gas, and getting us closer to EV cars...yes I'd say the war is blowing up in a good way for the globalists. It doesn't matter who is president, left or right, they all serve the same power - until we wake up and realize this, nothing will change.
I always like to remind people that several years ago, the same people adamant you drive an EV were trying to figure out how to limit your power consumption to your own house. Not to mention getting rid of clean energy producers, like all the dams across Washington state. Well How exactly would you charge up that vehicle with limited power usage?
Thurston County, home of the State Legislature and a thousand Bolsheviks. And let's not forget the Evergreen State College (or have they tried to elevate its creds by calling it a University now? 🤷🏼🤷🏼🤷🏼) That's going to put a YUGE DAMPER on home sales, but the Bolsheviks don't care! 😡
Thanks John..I appreciate the support as I often get flack here saying anything negative about Trump. This war is all about resources, like all the other ones - and the new resource isn't oil, it's data, which is literally and figuratively driven by electric vehicles, which are more camera than they are car.
Have you been reading this? Do you not see the strategy being deployed here? He’s going to get china to protect their own oil. Or not. What do you think that gives trump, in his future meeting with xi? You don’t get world peace by being a smarmy teacher and talking nice. That doesn’t work, ever. And what he’s done for us is astounding. So yeah, you sound kinda like a reluctant tds victim.
Great. They have evidence of me picking my teeth. What ever will they do with it, I wonder ? 🤔😆
I don’t like Roman at all or his anti-Trump push at every turn. I’ve never hidden that fact. But I also haven’t blocked him because simply disagreeing with him as vehemently as I do is not a blockable offense. I think he is wrong far more often than he is right … BUT … I’ll give credit where credit is due: I bought a Tesla last fall (used of course, no Miss Money Bags here 😂,) and I JUST said to my husband last night that it was surreal to not have to worry about gas prices rising. Not at the levels they currently are. Obviously our trucks and distribution depend on gas and our economy takes the hit if they rise too high.
From my Tesla app I see that since February 1st, I have paid $23 in total to drive my car every day since then (locally) … and a $120 gas savings. Plus, I don’t have ANY of the maintenance costs a gasoline car has. Zilch. For me it’s the right kind of car.
But I don’t want to force this decision on everybody else. There’s really smart reasons to remain in a gas engine for some people and situations, however few - but some are really worthy at present. We have a lot of infrastructure issues and manufacturing of massive trucks that carry our goods cross country need gas right now. And they need to overcome the lack of charging stations and speed. But I have an electrician husband and he installed a home charger that we were reimbursed for by our city so it was free in the end, labor and materials. Not everybody could afford the additional cost of the work my husband did himself. I get that. I like that we have options. I don’t like the extreme of pushing everybody into the same choice.
But Roman misses the forest through the trees that Jeff laid out so eloquently about the leverage of resources to keep our nation safe, free of globalist meddling, and rich. You can spin it to look like past wars, but you would be stubbornly wearing blinders.
Also, if everybody was in an EV elec costs might spike making the savings not as great as they presently are. For me I only pay 10¢ per kwh! But I bet it would be a LOT more if everybody was drawing on it??
Well I paid over $15,000 of taxes last year and don’t use the corrupt gender-happy school district who takes 3/4 of my yearly taxes. I’m not getting ANYTHING in return for my taxes except maybe the chance a fireman or policeman will show up if I need them. Maybe.
So technically … I paid for it all myself through my own taxes and was refunded from that.
I don't have a link handy but the data hovered up from people taking pictures and running around doing the Pokémon thing... A bonanza on the receiving end. I flipped past a post on X just the other day about this.
They ARE more camera than car…and just a few days ago, I made a call and my Tesla said, “this call is being recorded.” WHAT??? Need to research the latest update and TURN THAT OFF (not that I can really turn it off). As much as I love my zippy little spy mobile, I’m going to trade it in as soon as it’s paid off. So sad…
Every time I see you dumping doom, I think what would happen if democrats got back. Just one horrible result? We deal with what we have-2 (two) political parties. I think of more kids aka children who are groomed by left activists and frankly demons in pink hair and TDS politicians with ghastly twisted minds and smeared with hate faces who are bellowing that kids aka known as children, should have the right to be drugged and have their sexual organs removed. (As my only grandchild has). Don’t forget the threats and lies the parents who try and protect them are ground into capitulation with. . Who propose SANCTUARY STATES to send them. Indeed, offer transportation to those states by the underground devils in charge of this. Therapists BY LAW unable to treat the children’s mental illness properly when yours, Roman, would be treated appropriately. $4.00 a gallon? BOO Hoo. Apparently you don’t understand risk/reward. Now I’m done with you. I won’t block but will scroll past. Unless you wake up fully, nothing will change.
I never knew there was a verse in the Bible that addresses this.
Deuteronomy 22 v 5: The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment for all that do so are abomination unto the Lord thy God.
Blows my mind that most here - including the author - cheerlead when global energy infrastructure gets destroyed. Jeff brags about connecting dots....well I guess he missed the dots about high energy prices = high everything prices, and losing midterms.
Just for some perspective… in 2004 gas prices hit $4.00+ per gallon. Inflation adjusted to 2026 is $6.38/gal. Stop the whining about Americans “hurting” at $3.75. Cut consumption down by two Lattes a week and it’s covered.
Jeff, while I certainly appreciate your lawyerly middle-of-the-road analysis and explanations of many things, your unflailing support for Trump’s prosecution of a war he used to feel so strongly about never starting, is quite cringey.
It is a fact that Iran supports and funds terrorism around the world. Try to get it through your head how much more effective those terrorists would be when supplied with nuclear weapons.
except Iran started the war 47 years ago -Trump is just finishing it which also brings huge benefits to the world - the benefits are way more than the costs
The last time Iran attacked another country, without being attacked first, was in 1856. I wonder if you would say "the benefits are way more than the costs” if your son or daughter were killed in the conflict.
Ah, the old “what-aboutism” argument. But in this case, I’ll agree. “Truth, Justice,and The American Way” is a thin veneer for what the US Empire has engaged in around the world, with very mixed results. Is it more acceptable than “Death to America”? To me, yes.
Have you tried to “get it through your head” that if America didn’t support Israel like it does, perhaps Iran wouldn’t have a problem with America? Oh, wait! There is that matter of the CIA-sponsored overthrow of Iran’s government in 1953. Good point. Is it at all suspect that the overthrow of Iran’s democracy was just five years after Israel was created?
The old "they started it 47 years ago" chant is as pathetic as the "death to America" chant; very weak logic. They don't seem to care what happened prior to 47 years ago.
Gone today doesn’t mean gone forever. There’s still about a thousand pounds of near weapons grade enriched uranium hidden somewhere in Iran. It requires minimal further processing to get it where it needs to be for several bombs. Ask yourself why, if they had no further plans for nuclear weapons, they clung so tightly to a thousand pounds of uranium that they could have given up and avoided all of this. That uranium was so highly enriched that it was only good for one thing: bombs.
1) We were told that we obliterated Iran's ability to make a nuclear weapon back in June. Were we lied to then or are we being lied to now?
2) 2008 called and they want their foreign policy back. Btw, it's the same foreign policy that gave us 8 years of Obama.
We care more about who is running our country, hopefully not Democrats, than who Israel's latest boogeyman is. When Iran has been topped, Turkey is next on their list.
Lisa you would have to remove ALL enriched uranium, even the civilian levels of 5-10% enriched, to completely take out their ability to make a bomb.
He took away their ability to make a nuclear bomb in only a few weeks (60% to 90% enriched takes 10-14 days,) or only a few months (going from 10-15% to 90%) but left them the lower levels for civilian needs. So he DID obliterate their ability at that time, but it requires diplomacy to ensure they don’t build back up. When left with 10-15% they AIWAYS could build back up within a year. Diplomacy failed. Again.
That’s why now they are trying to take it all away. They cannot be trusted.
There is no negotiating with terrorists whose primary goal is to destroy entire nations that do not share their cruel ideologies. Iran has a long history of lying to the U.S. These tyrannical regimes live lavishly while their people starve. And the civilians living in poverty who actively disagree with the regime are shot in cold blood.
They rebuilt it. They began to rebuild it almost the very next day and kept going right up until this year when they announced that they had enough for 11 bombs. It’s the “rebuilding” capability that had to be taken out this time.
It’s not as simplistic as you are trying to spin it 🙄
If what you are saying is true, then it was wrong for Trump to take a victory lap last June. I remember 2003, and that's what all of this is reminiscent of. Being lied into a war with intel from Israel, on behalf of Israel. All of the people who said at the time tearing up the JCPOA agreement was a mistake, they have been proven correct. Oh, and guess who was the biggest opponent of the JCPOA? Netanyahu.
What amazes me is how seamlessly the presidents carry out the foreign policy.
Cheney pushed very hard for war with Iran, but he failed. As I recall, he gave it up in 2005. The media admitted that Iran was not actually trying to build a bomb, and the propaganda stopped.
Then Obama comes in, in 2009, and starts it up again, seamlessly. All of a sudden Iran was building a bomb again!
And people went right along with it. Scary Iran!
And now Trump is actually bombing Iran, killing their children, and destroying their infrastructure, and people are going along with that.
Such a weird account. Anybody notice that when Mr Richard Whitney posts a reply here today it has a very different flavor and feeling than when his wife does. She uses his account and ends her replies with Mrs. RW. From today alone his replies are in support of this President/administration, and then there is hers. I can’t block her rubbish because then I’d block him. I don’t want to do that.
This war is like so many of Trump’s efforts: fixing the problems that past presidents started or ignored. Iran started this war decades ago. Trump is just finishing it. All the influencers can pretend to know why, but none of them has a security clearance. I had one for 36 years and I can tell you, it changes reality.
I just finished reading this Substack (link below) that sums up how this administration is changing the world for the better. Trump’s overall strategy to crush communism in the American hemisphere and dismantle anti-American terrorist states (and drug cartels!) will bring freedom to millions of oppressed people while making the world a safer place.
I’m OK with sacrificing a few dollars at the pump if it means destroying evil regimes that kill their own citizens, kill Americans, and want nothing short of wiping our nation and Israel off the map. At the same time I’m aware of and praying for those who are struggling to make ends meet.
Meanwhile, let’s pray for those folks, for the oppressed, for peace, and for oil price stabilization. It’s coming! God is on the side of Good in this fight.
Mr. Rabbit - Trump had for years tweeted about the Iran regime and that it must not be allowed to continue. He is ending it, not continuing to support global terror as did OBAMA.
This is a necessary operation, not a Bush type never ending war. The Bushes hate this.
Ugh so sick of this out of context quote. 🙄 He ALWAYS said he would bomb Iran if they left him no choice and diplomacy didn’t work. Every. Friggin. Rally. What does that mean in the same rally he states no new wars? Don’t hurt yourself …
Obviously Iran IS NOT NEW. It’s been going on endlessly. He’s trying to end all the senselessness of the past half century. He stopping the very things the neocons got rich off of.
His approach is the only thing “new”. Finally doing these military operations the way America always should have done things. Rarely! And never without clear reasons, and with the intention of winning and ending it quickly. Using quick precise military operations without it becoming a full fledged war when possible. And not taking over the policing/governing of another nation with our boots on the ground for indefinite periods. Endlessly.
But you guys wave this statement around as if it’s as simple as that and without ANY of the additional and important context.
He said “ideally” we wouldn’t have to use a military. People accused him of starting a war when he took out ISIS too. They equate ANY military action to a “war”.
It’s also taken out of context of whatever he said before and after that clip. Misleading.
He’s presenting what he wants for our nation in the future. You canNOT obtain that without STOPPING the current war with Iran, and stopping China and Russia from taking up our back yard, and stopping the control of the cartels, and stopping the globalists organizations that prevent our country from the vision he presented.
But they aren’t here for that. They have one job and one job only - to shake our confidence and optimism and try to get some of us to believe we are doomed with this administration, to pull support for Trump. Period.
"They’ve been beating us psychologically, making us look a bunch of fools. One bullet shot at one of our men or ships, and I’d do a number on Kharg Island. I’d go in and take it.” DJT, 1988
Cringey indeed: Many people, myself included, believe that the USA entered this war with Iran at the insistence of Israel and its Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu. Many Americans understand that our country’s Congress is fully under the control of AIPAC campaign contributions. Therefore, it seems to me that the name “Operation Epic Fury” is fully fitting, with the understanding that “epic” is spelled “AIPAC.”
Cringe if you like and believe what you will, but without clearance and need-to-know we’re all just guessing. There is no doubt that money (and blackmail) influences if not controls many in Congress, and you can’t serve both God and money. AIPAC is one of many sources.
I live in AL. I agree with everything you said except about money being the primary influence. When you see Ted Cruz, Huckabee, and others talking about Israel being "God's Chosen People", that is truly what they believe. They don't need to be paid to say it. Yes, if someone like MTG 'gets out of line', they would find a primary opponent and finance them. But look at the comments in the thread and Jeff's own comments on this topic. The vast majority of them aren't paid - they believe what they were taught in Sunday School. There is a huge generational divide on this topic, and the age demographic change will continue to get worse for Israel each year into the future. That's why they started this war, and will continue to squeeze every ounce of favor they can get out of the Trump admin.
“…Trump’s prosecution of a war he used to feel so strongly about never starting…” You need to rewatch him from videos over the past 40+ years. You’ve got it all wrong.
Nope. No “forever” wars. No “senseless” wars. A new war implies we go to war with another country in its entirety (including the civilians) with no logic or reason, no sound plan for how to do it or how to get out of it. That’s what has always been done. That’s what he was referring to. Taking his “No new wars” statement out of context and left all on its own separate from anything else he said paints a false picture of what he really said and meant. That’s an MSM tactic.
He said if war was ever necessary it would NOT be done like in the past. What does that mean? Bombing Iran = war to the legacy media. Still it’s not the kind of war like Iraq. He always made it clear he’d bomb Iran if they left him no choice. He has said it for 40 years. He always said he’d try diplomacy first, but he was NOT opposed to using our military if necessary. He said that at EVERY rally. You all just chose to ignore it and parrot “no new wars”. Judgement of this war is highly premature and being unfairly based on what past presidents did.
Cringey? I find that your willingness to ignore the probability that Iran would eventually hit us with nuclear weapons is cringey. One nuclear weapon landing in yellowstone would destroy the USA. and all your progeny.
How do you find all this positive News/Information??? How do you manage to turn Anxiety into Hope, for us? ........... Thank you, for so doing. Bless you. ........ Be well....💗
It's called mental gymnastics. I can't believe people are so naive that they are willing to believe that destroying global energy infrastructure is a good thing. Totally idiotic. Come back to this statement in a few months if you doubt it.
I don't get it either. One of the reasons the 50s was such a prosperous time for the US is because European and Japanese manufacturing had been decimated, nearly obliterated during WW2. We were the worlds manufacturer for a short time. Could we be the world's oil/gas supplier, along with Russia? I don't know - I guess we'll see. I'm guessing this is what people are thinking...
The US was the main oil exporter in the world for decades, busily pumping out a precious resource and selling it off for the profit of the Seven Sisters.
But we hit peak oil, defined as when the easy to get stuff-the kind that spurts out when you dig a well, in the 70s, at which point the Congress passed a law forbidding exports. They wanted the rest of the oil and gas to go just to Americans.
When fracking started, and deep sea drilling, and mountain-top removal, all extreme extractions, Obama and the Congress of 2015 repealed the pro-American law, and started exporting again after 40 years.
Now they tell that we can do that forever. I don't know if they know they are lying or not, but I do know that our oil should be used for us, not sent overseas for Exxon profits.
Europe is the biggest welfare family on the planet. We gotta stop propping up those damn governments and those frilly people. If we're going to throw away time and money, we should do that on Americans on American soil.
They are now all Islamic so they can be on their own. I could give 2 shi*s what happens to Europe now. They have proven they are not our allies. Fuc* them.
Good morning Jeff, if you’re still in my neck of the woods of Western NC I’d love to invite you to come worship with us on Sunday morning. My church is in Asheville at 926 Haywood Rd (not street that’s downtown) it’s in West Asheville and service starts at 10:30. We are a Christ filled church with lots os C&C readers!
I often think that if the Trump detractors read your articles, it would be like showing our hand, but reading the comments proves otherwise. TDS means thinking you're smarter than Trump, know more about what's going on than Trump, and understand the playing field better than Trump. No amount of analysis and no number of wins can sway them. They insist that everything is circling the drain and we are doomed because of the arrogance and ignorance of Trump. It would be funny if ... well, it is funny. Silly armchair presidents.
Did I use the same sort of phrasing? Now I need to go back and watch some clips. I remember lots of pregnant pauses in those rather than the almost run-on sentences I use. 🤔😜
Jokes on them. They are doomed by virtue of their wickedness, immorality, hypocrisy, fraud, violence and their miserable personalities and morose attitudes coupled with severe TDS.
Thank you to all C&C who pray for our troops. I have a child in the military in Turkey. Your prayers make a difference.
Mine is across from Yemen. I am praying he is out of reach.
My cousin is a missionary in Yemen.
Praying for yours in Yemen, Renea!
I will be adding ‘your child’ specifically to my prayer list by ‘name’ as we have been in your place with our son. Thank him for us.
I'm a military mom myself, though my son is currently safe with his ship in dry dock. My prayers are with all families, but especially mommas, whose precious children (we always see them as the little ones we swaddled and fed and rocked) are in harms way! God bless and keep our troops!
Yes! Learning to let them be men , and not allowing our minds to dwell on scary scenarios. Psalms and refocusing with prayer. I myself am skilled at imagining things. 🙄🙄
And so sorry. Adults would be a better word. There are women in that same position. And who have already died.
03/19/26: We could all stay safe, you know, by joining the British navy. They never get out of dry dock! (I wonder why?).
Amen
Every day!
I have a kid in the military as well. Currently stateside because he and his wife just had a baby, but he repairs IT infrastructure so it won’t be long til he goes over there.
Been there- mine in Iraq. You have them every day!
I will be praying for your son’s safety as well HHM🙏
Are you in touch with clinics like Leading Edge clinic run by Dr Pierre Kory, another one is with the IMA , a clinic that has protocols for treatment of vaccine injuries.
This is for you: HEATHER AND CODY‼️
🙏 for your son in Turkey, HHM!
Please make sure your child knows how much we value our troops 🙏🏼
I do. Every single morning.
Son-in-law serving in Bahrain.
I’m praying for all our military both here and abroad that God holds them close and keeps them safe. God is good.
After reading about lifting all your loved ones defending our freedom, I saw God’s number in likes today. 777
He hears 🙌
Thank you for the reminder!
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Hi Jeff! Just finishing watching your Mike Rowe podcast and reading yesterday's post. Have not missed a single post since early 2021 and tell everyone I can about C&C! My 14 year old daughter loves it when I read C&C to her EVERY morning over the past year or two. Her worldview training, and narrative/propaganda discernment skills are that much sharper because of it (not to mention her deep appreciation for and employment of the now famous Childerian wit!)
Just wanted to say thank you for all you do and all the optimism and encouragement and sarcasm you bring to all of our morning routines! My Americano tastes that much better with C&C!
Yes! Terrific reading! Thanks Jeff — and @K2ndD4TwiceD, what a great way to raise your daughter!
Oh I love this, that you are sharing it with your teen daughter! You’re right that it is a fabulous training tool. Good job, papa!
Good morning. A reminder to all, Promethean Action live stream starts shortly:
https://www.youtube.com/live/CiKVGq_-llE?si=lfZl3wt2gzD8s8UL
Dave, THANKS. . They are INVALUABLE along with Jeff for making sense of the world and our history in it.
Thanks for the reminder Dave. Promethean Action helps me to understand the geopolitical world, the strategy and success Trump is having. Along with reading C&C.
More parents should follow your lead with their teenage children!
Bravo good Dad! 👏
That is AWESOME training for that young mind K2!!! You are teaching her how to spot propaganda and teaching discernment. Excellent choices! I'm sure she makes an impression on the other teens when she can confidently speak about world matters! LOL!
Good job!
Take note parents with kids still at home! Share this with your kids every day! They’ll
Know more than their teachers! Once they’re in college, if they go, the chances are slimmer that they’ll take your advice regarding this column. Start early!
Yes loved the podcast with Mike Rowe!!! I look forward to reading your Substack every morning.
Update on Cody Hudson:
I heard from Cody’s mom, Heather this morning.
Here is her text:
“I was able to get another high dose steroid in him about half an hour ago. This is only kicking the can down the road.
We are going to confer with the hematologist today (pray that is soon).
They don't have the expertise for this crisis. It is a silent crisis similar to the ventilator patients in the Covid hospitals- the O2 level looks normal while the body is attacking red blood cells and organ failure can take place.
The steroid keeps the inflammation or inflammatory process down and the immune response down just enough, but it is not a long term resolution.
The crisis is dire.”

Never been a stronger kid facing death down daily or a momma & Daddy bears fighting to keep him alive. More about attempts to get legislation in Florida to help victims like Cody at Www.codyslaw.org. right now they need all the prayer & financial support possible. Heather, Cody's mom, has one hand with a shield defending Cody & the other hand on a sword putting together data & research to help others & blow the whole vaccine scandal wide open. Please continue to lift them all in prayer & anything financially helps tremendously. They are relentlessly in the trenches of what the covid bioweapons are & did.
just signed the petition!
Ditto
Praying for Cody and for supernatural healing from Jesus either directly or thru the medical system
🙏🙏Praying now 🥺
Praying❤️
Fervently praying for Cody & all that surrounds him.
Praying for this family that has suffered so much.💔🙏🏻
Praying🙏🏻🙏🏻.
I am praying for them Laura and will continue. I also hope the hematologist is able to effect some changes/progress. Inflammation can wreck your world, esp the immune system.
There are several efforts going on to remove immunity or the liability shield on those poison jabs.
Here are two folks can visit and act on:

“As You sent Me into the world, I also sent them into the world. For their sake I sanctify Myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth. I do not ask on behalf of these alone, but for those also who believe in Me through their word; that they may all be one; even as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be in Us, so that the world may believe that You sent Me. The glory which You have given Me I have given to them, that they may be one, just as We are one; I in them and You in Me, that they may be perfected in unity, so that the world may know that You sent Me, and loved them, even as You have loved Me. Father, I desire that they also, whom You have given Me, be with Me where I am, so that they may see My glory which You have given Me, for You loved Me before the foundation of the world.”
— Jesus, John 17:18-24 NAS95

Jeff,
Good quote:
For their sake I sanctify Myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth.
One morning, possibly very soon, we will wake up to the news that the US is withdrawing all support for Ukraine. Garments, prepare to be rent, pearls clutched.
And while we are at it, why don't we just repossess all the war materiel that we so generously heaped upon the Ukrainians? I'm sure our stockpiles of weapons are getting low after all these bombings, so I'm sure they still have a nice little stack over there in Ukraine that we can take back now.
Can't wait. Pull out of Nato and refuse to help Europe. Bingo.
Trump promised it in 24 hours.
Finally!
While he's pushing everyone aside like stale banana muffins, (or perhaps more accurately, revealed who ARE the stale banana muffins), I wish he would completely, totally, unequivocally, unabashedly, obliterate any ties to the CDC (Certified Drug Cartel). That woud be putting Americans first. We've experienced enough of their particular brand of help to last several generations. Not only are they stale, they're highly toxic.
Imagine how quickly a federal judge would barge in, in full drag, to reverse any decision to disassemble the CDC.
Faster than a case of monkeypox spreading through Mamdani's Bacha bazi parties.
Yes, interrupting the cash flow of one the largest criminal cartels on the planet would only succeed in creating an uptick in missing persons and/or a high body counts.
Lake Mead is too low for stashing bodies, maybe they will toss them into Kilauea volcano in Hawaii; sort-of like a sacrifice to their gods
Since they don’t seem to be afraid of the Lake of Fire. Give them a foretaste of it.
They are part of the Trotskyite Drug Trust of the Bank of England who control the world.
Rothschilds have 168 billion dollars from the drug trade.
CDC is the marketing branch with WHO. 'Stay safe' from fear.
Spot on! I’ve written about the Rothschilds and how they used their magical powers, literally and figuratively, to create this modern pharmakia dark magic empire: https://unorthodoxy.substack.com/p/rich-people-do-magic
It’s one of my older archived articles, but completely agree. The cdc only markets for the pharma
He kind of did that by appointing Kennedy and the COURTS are trying to delegitimize everything !!!
If I can believe what I’m reading, he’s taken steps to “limit, restructure, and oversee” the agency, not toss it into the Mariana Trench, which would be preferable.
Unfortunately there's the things you want to do, and the things you can do (or think you can do), and they seem to seldom be the same. But, i'm still impressed at the things Mr. Kennedy is doing so far.
Think of this.
If the whole CDC vanished into thin air, what difference would it be? What would change? How would it affect anything?
Answer: nothing. It wouldn’t.
I believe starmer will be seen as the most disastrous PM we've ever had, overseeing irreparable damage to the trans Atlantic alliance and the death of NATO. I might have to use the service of Jeff to help me with a political asylum request for Florida residency 😃
I watched a muscled tattooed Englishman rant this morning on FB about Starmer. His descriptive adjectives were off the wall offensive. I cheered! 😉😂😂
I read the conservative woman each ( TCW) morning. Very valuable. Dave,you are in a hell of a mess there. My sis lives in Ireland—not much better. As Jeff remarked, Starmer looks like a taxidermy display that is talking sheer nonsense. His eyes look like the animal right before it became a taxidermy display. .
We won't forget his folly of not helping. We will not forgive either. Let Europe go to Hell. Oh that's right it is; Europe is now Islamic. Good luck with that.
'Suppose when Trump wins the Iran war, and reopens the strait without European help, he then turns to American voters and says, “I asked them to help protect the oil that they need, and they said no— so remind me why we are paying $800 billion a year to defend them?'
Immediately following a statement like this, the Congress will send another $800 billion. Convince me I'm wrong.
If we do not win the midterms.
I think you meant when we lose the midterms. High energy = high prices and more inflation = losing at politics.
We aren’t going to lose the midterms.
Interesting how that is widely accepted as fait accompli, ignoring that such predictions always come from the legacy media and useless polls. Time will tell.
lol
so are you a Russian or China bot
Waste of time responding to this guy. He’s simply here to be a disruptor. Stop feeding the bot!
Also muslim
Johnny O called me a retard on a comment I made yesterday. I think he is a Lib-tard that has trolled the blog to infiltrate and cause problems with C & C'ers. I tried to block him but just reported instead.
I agree
Both parties support the war machine. Matt Taibbi said that the FIRE sector is like a ''great vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity, relentlessly jamming its blood funnel into anything that smells like money".
But so do the merchants of death.
Mrs. RW
Boy, there are a lot of anti-semites with tin foil hats on here in the comment section today.
They are all over. Must mean Jeff is over the target.
Also, I blocked a couple of the ones that annoy me the most, the ones that throw bombs but never actually contribute anything to the discussion. Highly recommend.
They are all over substack lately. I have my news feed very well curated, but any time I go to the search section, I am always struck by how much of it is left-leaning.
They are desperate. They have sent a hoarde. 🤣🤣🤣
I think you mean horde, “a large group of often disorganized people”. It does reek of desperation.
Ooops yes!! Fast finger Freddy here
They also tend to be anti all that is good and normal.
$4 dollars a gallon for gas, and getting us closer to EV cars...yes I'd say the war is blowing up in a good way for the globalists. It doesn't matter who is president, left or right, they all serve the same power - until we wake up and realize this, nothing will change.
Why would anyone switch to an EV for a hike in gas price? What? Electricity is produced by...lightening? Get real.
I always like to remind people that several years ago, the same people adamant you drive an EV were trying to figure out how to limit your power consumption to your own house. Not to mention getting rid of clean energy producers, like all the dams across Washington state. Well How exactly would you charge up that vehicle with limited power usage?
You couldn’t. And that’s the goal.
https://x.com/libsoftiktok/status/2034362802584895963?s=46. Thurston County in WA state is the first County to require / force a certain green home energy score in order to sell a home.
Thanks Dena - the "green" climate agenda is the overall goal of 2030, and where this is all headed. I wish more could see this plain fact.
Many do / it’s the idiots in charge that are clueless, deliberately I’d say.
Thurston County, home of the State Legislature and a thousand Bolsheviks. And let's not forget the Evergreen State College (or have they tried to elevate its creds by calling it a University now? 🤷🏼🤷🏼🤷🏼) That's going to put a YUGE DAMPER on home sales, but the Bolsheviks don't care! 😡
😳
Or simply an extended power outage.
😉
Ergo: 15 minute cities.
Exactly. EV’s don’t run off air.
I don’t want an EV because they are horrible for the environment and I don’t want the fire risk parked anywhere near my house or my job, either.
Thank you
They want to make oil so expensive, so the only option we have is electric. Does that clarify?
Running out to hoard oil. 😅
Because there’s plenty of fools around to do such a thing.
Dancing Time, you may want to check out the health danger from the EVs’ EMF radiation exposure, especially the lithium battery.
Haha $4 gas in CA right now is a steal.
In Portland it’s getting more expensive to fill a Molotov cocktail, but it was already about the highest in the country.
WA said hold my beer. We’re at almost $5.00 a gallon 😡
It sure is, because it is only going to increase, along with most everything else. TAW!
Absolutely correct.
Thanks John..I appreciate the support as I often get flack here saying anything negative about Trump. This war is all about resources, like all the other ones - and the new resource isn't oil, it's data, which is literally and figuratively driven by electric vehicles, which are more camera than they are car.
Have you been reading this? Do you not see the strategy being deployed here? He’s going to get china to protect their own oil. Or not. What do you think that gives trump, in his future meeting with xi? You don’t get world peace by being a smarmy teacher and talking nice. That doesn’t work, ever. And what he’s done for us is astounding. So yeah, you sound kinda like a reluctant tds victim.
Who controls US power, hegemony and politics?:
Trump
or the bankers that run the entire global system?
I circled "bankers" on my test. I'm pretty sure that's the right answer.
I had never considered all the real time imagery these cars are "hoovering" up on a continuous basis!
Great. They have evidence of me picking my teeth. What ever will they do with it, I wonder ? 🤔😆
I don’t like Roman at all or his anti-Trump push at every turn. I’ve never hidden that fact. But I also haven’t blocked him because simply disagreeing with him as vehemently as I do is not a blockable offense. I think he is wrong far more often than he is right … BUT … I’ll give credit where credit is due: I bought a Tesla last fall (used of course, no Miss Money Bags here 😂,) and I JUST said to my husband last night that it was surreal to not have to worry about gas prices rising. Not at the levels they currently are. Obviously our trucks and distribution depend on gas and our economy takes the hit if they rise too high.
From my Tesla app I see that since February 1st, I have paid $23 in total to drive my car every day since then (locally) … and a $120 gas savings. Plus, I don’t have ANY of the maintenance costs a gasoline car has. Zilch. For me it’s the right kind of car.
But I don’t want to force this decision on everybody else. There’s really smart reasons to remain in a gas engine for some people and situations, however few - but some are really worthy at present. We have a lot of infrastructure issues and manufacturing of massive trucks that carry our goods cross country need gas right now. And they need to overcome the lack of charging stations and speed. But I have an electrician husband and he installed a home charger that we were reimbursed for by our city so it was free in the end, labor and materials. Not everybody could afford the additional cost of the work my husband did himself. I get that. I like that we have options. I don’t like the extreme of pushing everybody into the same choice.
But Roman misses the forest through the trees that Jeff laid out so eloquently about the leverage of resources to keep our nation safe, free of globalist meddling, and rich. You can spin it to look like past wars, but you would be stubbornly wearing blinders.
I don’t always agree with Roman, either. Bit he’s thoughtful, provocative, and polite. And THAT I can accommodate ;).
Electric cars generate HUGE electromagnetic fields ... frying internal organs and highly toxic on the cellular level.
Why don't we hear about it?
Because just like the vaccine injured, nobody has looking. (no insiders, that is)
Interesting. I’ll have to research this.
Also, if everybody was in an EV elec costs might spike making the savings not as great as they presently are. For me I only pay 10¢ per kwh! But I bet it would be a LOT more if everybody was drawing on it??
Here's more about electric cars that the average person does not know..https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2022/09/the_hidden_truths_about_your_electric_car.html
I’ve been trying to make that point. The radiation exposure is off the charts.
"Free" from the city, as in your neighbors' taxes paid for it.
Well I paid over $15,000 of taxes last year and don’t use the corrupt gender-happy school district who takes 3/4 of my yearly taxes. I’m not getting ANYTHING in return for my taxes except maybe the chance a fireman or policeman will show up if I need them. Maybe.
So technically … I paid for it all myself through my own taxes and was refunded from that.
I don't have a link handy but the data hovered up from people taking pictures and running around doing the Pokémon thing... A bonanza on the receiving end. I flipped past a post on X just the other day about this.
They ARE more camera than car…and just a few days ago, I made a call and my Tesla said, “this call is being recorded.” WHAT??? Need to research the latest update and TURN THAT OFF (not that I can really turn it off). As much as I love my zippy little spy mobile, I’m going to trade it in as soon as it’s paid off. So sad…
Sorry bro ... No war is ALL about ANYTHING
Binary bio-robot thinking is hardly a calling card
You bet, Roman. This war is a mess.
Every time I see you dumping doom, I think what would happen if democrats got back. Just one horrible result? We deal with what we have-2 (two) political parties. I think of more kids aka children who are groomed by left activists and frankly demons in pink hair and TDS politicians with ghastly twisted minds and smeared with hate faces who are bellowing that kids aka known as children, should have the right to be drugged and have their sexual organs removed. (As my only grandchild has). Don’t forget the threats and lies the parents who try and protect them are ground into capitulation with. . Who propose SANCTUARY STATES to send them. Indeed, offer transportation to those states by the underground devils in charge of this. Therapists BY LAW unable to treat the children’s mental illness properly when yours, Roman, would be treated appropriately. $4.00 a gallon? BOO Hoo. Apparently you don’t understand risk/reward. Now I’m done with you. I won’t block but will scroll past. Unless you wake up fully, nothing will change.
Have you noticed the sheer amount of propaganda trolls that have descended on the comments section? It compounds in numbers each day.
That's bc Jeff is famous now so they are coming in hordes to try to harsh our mellow. Won't work!
I'm sorry to hear about your grandchild. The entire trans agenda has harmed so many people.
Even though Trump put a stop to what he could, the rest of the establishment is carrying on with it.
Demonic.
Mrs. RW
I never knew there was a verse in the Bible that addresses this.
Deuteronomy 22 v 5: The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment for all that do so are abomination unto the Lord thy God.
BOOM!
It's almost as if a digital currency is waiting just around the corner
Blows my mind that most here - including the author - cheerlead when global energy infrastructure gets destroyed. Jeff brags about connecting dots....well I guess he missed the dots about high energy prices = high everything prices, and losing midterms.
I know, right? To me it looks like blind faith in a (mis)leader like Trump. Sorry to have to say that.
I think you missed the plot line. Perhaps NPR might be more to your liking.
nothing like asking your enemy to sell you gasoline so your army can attack - exactly where Europe finds itself - not a good position to be in
Frankly, Roman, I wish you well, but I have to start scrolling past. Cheers.
I'm old enough to remember when they all said EVs would soon be cheaper than ICE vehicles....still waiting.
I wish ours was only $4! In commi WA state 😝
Just for some perspective… in 2004 gas prices hit $4.00+ per gallon. Inflation adjusted to 2026 is $6.38/gal. Stop the whining about Americans “hurting” at $3.75. Cut consumption down by two Lattes a week and it’s covered.
You place way too much importance on a temporary condition that will disappear within 6 weeks.
Jeff, while I certainly appreciate your lawyerly middle-of-the-road analysis and explanations of many things, your unflailing support for Trump’s prosecution of a war he used to feel so strongly about never starting, is quite cringey.
It is a fact that Iran supports and funds terrorism around the world. Try to get it through your head how much more effective those terrorists would be when supplied with nuclear weapons.
except Iran started the war 47 years ago -Trump is just finishing it which also brings huge benefits to the world - the benefits are way more than the costs
The last time Iran attacked another country, without being attacked first, was in 1856. I wonder if you would say "the benefits are way more than the costs” if your son or daughter were killed in the conflict.
You mean “directly attacked”, don’t you? Proxies count in the real world.
Yes, I mean directly attacked. It’s also accurate to say the United States is a proxy of Israel.
What would you say when Iran attacked us and screaming death to America killing sons and daughters. You are ridiculous you old fart.
let's see - you support the world's largest sponsor of terrorism - says more about you than them
What about terrorist the US government has supported for decades; is that more acceptable?
Yes, our terrorists are freedom fighters! And our gulf area despot leaders really do mean well in the hearts!
So your answer is to do nothing????
No, I say we worry about our problems at home and not start problems thousands of miles from home. We do have a problem or two here, don't we?
We sure do. And among the many problems are Muslims who want to kill us. Let into our country but stupid Democrats - but that’s redundant
Ah, the old “what-aboutism” argument. But in this case, I’ll agree. “Truth, Justice,and The American Way” is a thin veneer for what the US Empire has engaged in around the world, with very mixed results. Is it more acceptable than “Death to America”? To me, yes.
Have you tried to “get it through your head” that if America didn’t support Israel like it does, perhaps Iran wouldn’t have a problem with America? Oh, wait! There is that matter of the CIA-sponsored overthrow of Iran’s government in 1953. Good point. Is it at all suspect that the overthrow of Iran’s democracy was just five years after Israel was created?
You are absolutely correct.
Without American support, Israel would have long ago ceased to exist and all the Jews in the ME would be dead.
If you are a Jewhater, this would be a fine solution for you. Or maybe "final solution" would be more accurate.
The old "they started it 47 years ago" chant is as pathetic as the "death to America" chant; very weak logic. They don't seem to care what happened prior to 47 years ago.
It’s not possible that they could have nuclear weapons - Trump destroyed that possibility last summer.
Gone today doesn’t mean gone forever. There’s still about a thousand pounds of near weapons grade enriched uranium hidden somewhere in Iran. It requires minimal further processing to get it where it needs to be for several bombs. Ask yourself why, if they had no further plans for nuclear weapons, they clung so tightly to a thousand pounds of uranium that they could have given up and avoided all of this. That uranium was so highly enriched that it was only good for one thing: bombs.
Yes, Russia very nicely offered to take it off their hands; they refused. Russia also offered to take it off the hands of the US; also refused.
1) We were told that we obliterated Iran's ability to make a nuclear weapon back in June. Were we lied to then or are we being lied to now?
2) 2008 called and they want their foreign policy back. Btw, it's the same foreign policy that gave us 8 years of Obama.
We care more about who is running our country, hopefully not Democrats, than who Israel's latest boogeyman is. When Iran has been topped, Turkey is next on their list.
Lisa you would have to remove ALL enriched uranium, even the civilian levels of 5-10% enriched, to completely take out their ability to make a bomb.
He took away their ability to make a nuclear bomb in only a few weeks (60% to 90% enriched takes 10-14 days,) or only a few months (going from 10-15% to 90%) but left them the lower levels for civilian needs. So he DID obliterate their ability at that time, but it requires diplomacy to ensure they don’t build back up. When left with 10-15% they AIWAYS could build back up within a year. Diplomacy failed. Again.
That’s why now they are trying to take it all away. They cannot be trusted.
He didn’t lie then or now. The media does.
There is no negotiating with terrorists whose primary goal is to destroy entire nations that do not share their cruel ideologies. Iran has a long history of lying to the U.S. These tyrannical regimes live lavishly while their people starve. And the civilians living in poverty who actively disagree with the regime are shot in cold blood.
"There is no negotiating with terrorists whose primary goal is to destroy entire nations that do not share their cruel ideologies.” So Israel, then?
Nope
So eerily close to what the democrats have in store for our own country
We obliterated their enrichment facilities. What part of that do you not understand?
They rebuilt it. They began to rebuild it almost the very next day and kept going right up until this year when they announced that they had enough for 11 bombs. It’s the “rebuilding” capability that had to be taken out this time.
It’s not as simplistic as you are trying to spin it 🙄
If what you are saying is true, then it was wrong for Trump to take a victory lap last June. I remember 2003, and that's what all of this is reminiscent of. Being lied into a war with intel from Israel, on behalf of Israel. All of the people who said at the time tearing up the JCPOA agreement was a mistake, they have been proven correct. Oh, and guess who was the biggest opponent of the JCPOA? Netanyahu.
What amazes me is how seamlessly the presidents carry out the foreign policy.
Cheney pushed very hard for war with Iran, but he failed. As I recall, he gave it up in 2005. The media admitted that Iran was not actually trying to build a bomb, and the propaganda stopped.
Then Obama comes in, in 2009, and starts it up again, seamlessly. All of a sudden Iran was building a bomb again!
And people went right along with it. Scary Iran!
And now Trump is actually bombing Iran, killing their children, and destroying their infrastructure, and people are going along with that.
The power of the media is amazing.
Mrs. RW
Such a weird account. Anybody notice that when Mr Richard Whitney posts a reply here today it has a very different flavor and feeling than when his wife does. She uses his account and ends her replies with Mrs. RW. From today alone his replies are in support of this President/administration, and then there is hers. I can’t block her rubbish because then I’d block him. I don’t want to do that.
Case in point:
https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/whose-war-thursday-march-19-2026/comment/230128186
This war is like so many of Trump’s efforts: fixing the problems that past presidents started or ignored. Iran started this war decades ago. Trump is just finishing it. All the influencers can pretend to know why, but none of them has a security clearance. I had one for 36 years and I can tell you, it changes reality.
Indeed it does. My dad had a very minor one for his work on naval boats, it certainly made him look at the news differently.
Major or minor, they all carry the implied trust of the American people. I'm sure your dad bore that responsibility well.
I just finished reading this Substack (link below) that sums up how this administration is changing the world for the better. Trump’s overall strategy to crush communism in the American hemisphere and dismantle anti-American terrorist states (and drug cartels!) will bring freedom to millions of oppressed people while making the world a safer place.
I’m OK with sacrificing a few dollars at the pump if it means destroying evil regimes that kill their own citizens, kill Americans, and want nothing short of wiping our nation and Israel off the map. At the same time I’m aware of and praying for those who are struggling to make ends meet.
Meanwhile, let’s pray for those folks, for the oppressed, for peace, and for oil price stabilization. It’s coming! God is on the side of Good in this fight.
https://tierneyrealnewsnetwork.substack.com/p/lights-out-in-cuba?r=h9rb1&utm_medium=ios
Mr. Rabbit - Trump had for years tweeted about the Iran regime and that it must not be allowed to continue. He is ending it, not continuing to support global terror as did OBAMA.
This is a necessary operation, not a Bush type never ending war. The Bushes hate this.
Wasn’t one of Trump's campaign promises that there would be no new wars?
Ugh so sick of this out of context quote. 🙄 He ALWAYS said he would bomb Iran if they left him no choice and diplomacy didn’t work. Every. Friggin. Rally. What does that mean in the same rally he states no new wars? Don’t hurt yourself …
Obviously Iran IS NOT NEW. It’s been going on endlessly. He’s trying to end all the senselessness of the past half century. He stopping the very things the neocons got rich off of.
His approach is the only thing “new”. Finally doing these military operations the way America always should have done things. Rarely! And never without clear reasons, and with the intention of winning and ending it quickly. Using quick precise military operations without it becoming a full fledged war when possible. And not taking over the policing/governing of another nation with our boots on the ground for indefinite periods. Endlessly.
But you guys wave this statement around as if it’s as simple as that and without ANY of the additional and important context.
This is AI then? - https://www.youtube.com/shorts/8vj4uyf_M6U (There are others.)
That just proves my point. 🤣🤣🤣
He said “ideally” we wouldn’t have to use a military. People accused him of starting a war when he took out ISIS too. They equate ANY military action to a “war”.
It’s also taken out of context of whatever he said before and after that clip. Misleading.
He’s presenting what he wants for our nation in the future. You canNOT obtain that without STOPPING the current war with Iran, and stopping China and Russia from taking up our back yard, and stopping the control of the cartels, and stopping the globalists organizations that prevent our country from the vision he presented.
Trump is clearing the field. And masterfully.
No.
No forever wars.
This is AI then? - https://www.youtube.com/shorts/8vj4uyf_M6U (There are others.)
So try expanding your mind and realize there is more to the story..
But they aren’t here for that. They have one job and one job only - to shake our confidence and optimism and try to get some of us to believe we are doomed with this administration, to pull support for Trump. Period.
"They’ve been beating us psychologically, making us look a bunch of fools. One bullet shot at one of our men or ships, and I’d do a number on Kharg Island. I’d go in and take it.” DJT, 1988
Cringey indeed: Many people, myself included, believe that the USA entered this war with Iran at the insistence of Israel and its Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu. Many Americans understand that our country’s Congress is fully under the control of AIPAC campaign contributions. Therefore, it seems to me that the name “Operation Epic Fury” is fully fitting, with the understanding that “epic” is spelled “AIPAC.”
https://nedb.substack.com/p/operation-aipac-fury
Nope. DJT has been talking about Iran since 1988
Cringe if you like and believe what you will, but without clearance and need-to-know we’re all just guessing. There is no doubt that money (and blackmail) influences if not controls many in Congress, and you can’t serve both God and money. AIPAC is one of many sources.
I live in AL. I agree with everything you said except about money being the primary influence. When you see Ted Cruz, Huckabee, and others talking about Israel being "God's Chosen People", that is truly what they believe. They don't need to be paid to say it. Yes, if someone like MTG 'gets out of line', they would find a primary opponent and finance them. But look at the comments in the thread and Jeff's own comments on this topic. The vast majority of them aren't paid - they believe what they were taught in Sunday School. There is a huge generational divide on this topic, and the age demographic change will continue to get worse for Israel each year into the future. That's why they started this war, and will continue to squeeze every ounce of favor they can get out of the Trump admin.
I think he's staff now
I heard some snide journalist asking Trump how many American deaths are acceptable in this war.
Wrong question
The correct question is how many FUTURE American lives are being saved by prosecuting this death-loving Iranian government
Would you characterize Israel's internationally recognized genocide in Gaza as that of a death-loving government?
“…Trump’s prosecution of a war he used to feel so strongly about never starting…” You need to rewatch him from videos over the past 40+ years. You’ve got it all wrong.
So the no new wars campaign promise was a lie?
Nope. No “forever” wars. No “senseless” wars. A new war implies we go to war with another country in its entirety (including the civilians) with no logic or reason, no sound plan for how to do it or how to get out of it. That’s what has always been done. That’s what he was referring to. Taking his “No new wars” statement out of context and left all on its own separate from anything else he said paints a false picture of what he really said and meant. That’s an MSM tactic.
He said if war was ever necessary it would NOT be done like in the past. What does that mean? Bombing Iran = war to the legacy media. Still it’s not the kind of war like Iraq. He always made it clear he’d bomb Iran if they left him no choice. He has said it for 40 years. He always said he’d try diplomacy first, but he was NOT opposed to using our military if necessary. He said that at EVERY rally. You all just chose to ignore it and parrot “no new wars”. Judgement of this war is highly premature and being unfairly based on what past presidents did.
Cringey? I find that your willingness to ignore the probability that Iran would eventually hit us with nuclear weapons is cringey. One nuclear weapon landing in yellowstone would destroy the USA. and all your progeny.
You and your statement are cringey. Move if you don't like it.
How do you find all this positive News/Information??? How do you manage to turn Anxiety into Hope, for us? ........... Thank you, for so doing. Bless you. ........ Be well....💗
When you peel away all the propaganda and fear-mongering, and lay out the facts, it tells a much more optimistic story.
Well said!
It's called mental gymnastics. I can't believe people are so naive that they are willing to believe that destroying global energy infrastructure is a good thing. Totally idiotic. Come back to this statement in a few months if you doubt it.
I'm sure research and connecting the dots feels like mental gymnastics compared to the trance of mainstream media.
Exactly lol.
I don't get it either. One of the reasons the 50s was such a prosperous time for the US is because European and Japanese manufacturing had been decimated, nearly obliterated during WW2. We were the worlds manufacturer for a short time. Could we be the world's oil/gas supplier, along with Russia? I don't know - I guess we'll see. I'm guessing this is what people are thinking...
The US was the main oil exporter in the world for decades, busily pumping out a precious resource and selling it off for the profit of the Seven Sisters.
But we hit peak oil, defined as when the easy to get stuff-the kind that spurts out when you dig a well, in the 70s, at which point the Congress passed a law forbidding exports. They wanted the rest of the oil and gas to go just to Americans.
When fracking started, and deep sea drilling, and mountain-top removal, all extreme extractions, Obama and the Congress of 2015 repealed the pro-American law, and started exporting again after 40 years.
Now they tell that we can do that forever. I don't know if they know they are lying or not, but I do know that our oil should be used for us, not sent overseas for Exxon profits.

Europe is the biggest welfare family on the planet. We gotta stop propping up those damn governments and those frilly people. If we're going to throw away time and money, we should do that on Americans on American soil.
Bingo.
They are now all Islamic so they can be on their own. I could give 2 shi*s what happens to Europe now. They have proven they are not our allies. Fuc* them.
Ditto.

I often think that if the Trump detractors read your articles, it would be like showing our hand, but reading the comments proves otherwise. TDS means thinking you're smarter than Trump, know more about what's going on than Trump, and understand the playing field better than Trump. No amount of analysis and no number of wins can sway them. They insist that everything is circling the drain and we are doomed because of the arrogance and ignorance of Trump. It would be funny if ... well, it is funny. Silly armchair presidents.
I read this in The Church Lady's voice from Dana carvy on SNL
Hmmmm, WHO could be behind it all? Could it be satan???
🤣
Did I use the same sort of phrasing? Now I need to go back and watch some clips. I remember lots of pregnant pauses in those rather than the almost run-on sentences I use. 🤔😜
EXACTLY ... perfect definition of TDS
Jokes on them. They are doomed by virtue of their wickedness, immorality, hypocrisy, fraud, violence and their miserable personalities and morose attitudes coupled with severe TDS.
