We all learn and grow in different ways, many times it’s a community, or a group. It can be at our job, where we learn from a person that is stronger in an area than we are. Or here on C&C, where we learn from a great author/lawyer and the experiences of their wonderful subscribers. Over time we can grow, we become educated, it could be we learn to be more compassionate, certainly we become better educated.
Within these groups are individual people, each of us with our own individual deficiencies. Some of us, myself included, struggle at times with dwelling on those limitations. If I was a little more self confident, a little taller, if I had a nicer personality, if I grew up in a better home, or maybe if I controlled my temper better, be a little more patient. We often let our faults and weakness become an excuse to stay at mediocrity. The truth is God doesn’t just use perfect people. If he did, none of us would have a chance.
As believers our life is not put on hold until we become perfect. Gods calling uses all of us as we are growing, while we are changing. Like all of the disciples Peter was far from perfect, he had a bad temper, used bad language, cursed at people. His faults showed right up until the crucification of Jesus and I’m sure beyond.
He had plenty of room to grow but yet he was still chosen as a disciple, one of Jesus’ right hand men. You would think Jesus would have picked someone more polished more disciplined. When you have a heart to please God you may make mistakes, you may have areas you need to strengthen, but that doesn’t disqualify you from doing good along the way. If God could use Peter in such a great way, with all of his flaws, he can surely use us. The scripture says Gods power shows up greatest in our weaknesses. So if we wait until we are perfect, we will be waiting our entire life.
This doesn’t mean to accept our limitations, we should always try to grow, improve, strive to do better. Isn’t this why we’re all here? But in the meantime we shouldn’t beat ourselves up because we haven’t arrived. We are Gods workmanship, it’s a lifelong process. There will always be areas we need to work on. Instead of condemning ourselves we need to start accepting ourselves. There is power when we conclude I like who I am. I’m happy with myself.
Here’s a great short story I hope you’ll enjoy.
There was an elderly Asian woman. She had two large pots that hung on the end of a long pole that would rest on her neck and shoulders. Every day she would walk from her house down to the stream to get some fresh water. One of the pots had a small crack in it, the other pot was perfect. Because of the crack when she’d get back from the long walk that pot with the leak would only be about 1/2 full. This went on week after week month after month.
The perfect pot was very proud of its accomplishments, always bringing a full pot of water. But the pot with the crack, well it felt a little embarrassed, ashamed by its imperfection.
One day it said to the elderly woman I really feel bad that I don’t measure up, I’m only delivering about 1/2 of what I was supposed to. The woman said, have you noticed that there are flowers on your side of the path from where the water has leaked out? That’s because I’ve always known about your flaw so I have planted seeds on your side of the path. Every day when we return from the stream you water those seeds. For the last 2 years I have picked those flowers and decorated my house. Without you being just the way you are there wouldn’t be this beauty in my house.
Every one of us has unique flaws and weaknesses. We could easily be down on ourself. But just like this lady, God knows where to plant the seeds to get the most out of our weaknesses. Remember God is not finished with us. Don’t go through life being against yourself. Dare to say I like myself. Be the best you can be with what Gods given you. Keep striving and you’ll find you will become everything Gods created you to be. J.Goodrich
How very much we are loved by God that He would use us just the way we are knowing that at the same time we are growing more like Him. All praise to our wise and loving Father!
Yes, Peter is my favorite apostle. He screws up at times, Jesus even called him 'satan' once, and yet he was the "rock" on which Jesus built his Church. We are all St. Peter at times, both the good and the bad qualities, but all Children of God and thus blessed.
Yes, Peter is my favorite apostle too, because he reminds me of me. But may I kindly and with great love, correct something? Peter is not the rock on which Jesus built His church. It was, in fact, Peter's declaration that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of the living God, as recorded in Matthew 16:16. The Church is built on faith in Christ as our Savior, not on any human being.
“When Christ at a symbolic moment was establishing His great society, He chose for its cornerstone neither the brilliant Paul nor the mystic John, but a shuffler, a snob, a coward – in a word, a man. And upon this rock He has built His Church, and the gates of Hell have not prevailed against it.”
But this one thing, the historic Christian Church, was founded on a weak man, and for that reason it is indestructible. For no chain is stronger than its weakest link.”
Quoting the opinion of a Catholic man doesn’t quite cover the disagreement DoubleMC pointed out above. I suspect that this issue will have to be one about which many of us will have to agree to disagree. Here is a great little article that provides four different possibilities for the meaning ‘the rock upon which the church will be built.’ One day believers will see Jesus face to face and will be able to ask what He meant with the play on words in this passage. Until then, we will have to agree to disagree about our preferred interpretation.
“As believers our life is not put on hold until we become perfect. Gods calling uses all of us as we are growing, while we are changing. Like all of the disciples Peter was far from perfect, he had a bad temper, used bad language, cursed at people. His faults showed right up until the crucification of Jesus and I’m sure beyond.”
A great reminder that even the saints weren’t perfect and we can all be used for God’s purposes, whatever our flaws 🙏
Thanks so much for that meaningful exhortation! Along that same theme, I went to a pre-screening at Biola University for I Can Only Imagine 2. It comes out February 20 and addresses this same topic. God uses our flaws for his glory. Highly recommend it. It continues the story of Bart, the lead in Mercy Me, which I Can Only Imagine, the first movie began.
Dang! Thank you for this. I am so beyond imperfect and wonder why God even pays attention to me but yet he does. I have had a good life but have dealt with physical issues and anxiety and depression that seems to go hand in hand. Yet, I have been blessed and these issues have made me who I am today. Even so, I need a lot of work but God is holding me up. My husband wears a belt and suspenders and he was asked once why. I said it was a big job and he needed extra enforcement. 🤣That's how I look at God. Extra support when life becomes difficult and a thump on the head when I act up. Again, thank you for making me think this morning.
Oh my, I love your post in so many ways. A great reminder to keep God as our focus. The story at the end was such a beautiful way to show our flaws have a purpose, we just need to remember we don’t need to be perfect in our eyes. We will never be perfect. We can only pray for God’s grace to make us stronger and more capable to spread the Truth.
And I learned this from your post: why St Peter is guarding the Gates of Heaven--"Peter was far from perfect, he had a bad temper, used bad language, cursed at people" Sounds like a great bouncer! :)
Second thought about your post, a quote from Jordan Peterson, who I have trouble listening to for very long, but usually like what he's saying...just not how long it takes him to say it...but I digress. The Peterson quote (roughly from memory): human beings are built to carry burdens. We thrive when struggling (not always of course...but when we get to that balance...maybe?) This seems to be part of what you are saying?
I’ve been praying for you Janice! I missed a few days of comments this week as dear husband and I both had the horrific stomach flu and are still recovering. I trust you made it home safely before the snow?
Hi Margot! So sorry you and your husband have been sick. Yes, we got out of OKC around 11 and were home by 1:00. The sun even shined and we had no problems. Good to be home. Thank you for your prayers!
Janice, I love this Psalm mentioning all His beautiful creatures. When I see a whale breaching, I think of he or she quickly rising out of the sea toward the sky and for a quick moment being able to thank God for the beauty of the day.
The most radical progressive nut jobs infesting the DC sewer along with their legion of brain warped dullards constantly excoriate Trump as a means to deflect from their own conspicuous mind numbing psychosis:
Proof of US citizenship to vote - AGAINST
Securing the border - AGAINST
Ban male participation in women's sports - AGAINST
Ability to define a female - STUPEYFYINGLY VAGUE
Thinks men can get pregnant - CURRENTLY CHECKING FARMER'S ALMANAC
Support of a woman president - UNKNOWN. ADEQUATE DEFINITION REMAINS HAZY.
Shall I go on? ....sure:
Can adequately differentiate between a kidnapping of a child and the rescue of one: PENDING, BASED ON A TOTALLY UNBIASED ABC INVESTIGATION.
It’s mind boggling. My neighbor and I opened our doors to neighbors for a petition drive in Colorado. 3 ballot initiatives for next November:
1. Prison for life for sex traffickers
2. Ban sex surgeries (child mutilation) for minors
3. Prohibit boys from playing in in girls sports or using girls locker rooms in k-12 ed.
EVERY SINGLE PERSON said the same thing as they signed, “Can you believe this is even an issue?”
Common sense in America is dead.
If you live in COLORADO and HAVEN’T SIGNED YET, contact Protect Kids Colorado ASAP. There are petition drives happening all over the state. We only have a week left…so please get out and sign!!
I'm beginning to think that America is probably 60% conservative (or more). So many of these positions are downright silly, and so few people would support them if asked.
The people that support them are either using them to gain power (BLM, elected officials) or are emotionally driven to oppose everything the administration does.
If they can clean up the fraud and the voting systems that are entwined with them, enforce citizen-only voting and robust voting practices, we might well see this in the voting results, leading to the virtual death of the democratic party in the US.
As someone who knocks a lot of doors, I would tend to agree and perhaps even put that % in my midwest corner of the world higher than that. The problem is that many: are turned off by 'politics' - the inflammatory rhetoric, the bashing, the ugliness and are more focused on 'life' - jobs, kids, health issues, etc. AND some are cowed by the very loud and obnoxious 'cancel culture' crowd. They are afraid to put up a yard sign. They 'keep their views to themselves' and may or may not vote. Have had people tell me, oh, I meant to vote last year but forgot.
Bongino's pre-FBI frequent comment "It's not bad enough yet" comes to mind. Sadly, once it gets 'bad enough' it is too late. Public schools are a joke. Our city is turning into a 15 minute city. People are being taxed out of their homes. And yet, people vote for Democrats because they run campaigns based on emotional appeals and virtue signaling. Then they get elected and turn sharply left, but the average voter is back to head in the sand, or asking what is happening to our city/schools?? Answer: you voted for this.
Fear sells and there are buyers aplenty. Let's not even get into the surety of the effects of propaganda on malleable minds. It’s a cakewalk for the Controllers, which is why it is in constant operation.
Yes, the grocery stores loaded up with panic buyers over this pending 'historic snowstorm' and people talked about little else for a week. Right now we have maybe an inch accumulated, but it is 2 degrees out, so there's that!
And don't forget why the 40% win so many elections: because they are the ones counting the votes! Until that ends, there's no hope.
That's my biggest hope for the midterms, namely, that the shenanigans are much less and the few misbehavers are called out, tarred, feathered, and ridden out of town on a rail!!!
My oldest brother in law is one of the most kind and decent people I know, but the problem is such people cannot fathom the depth and the breadth of evil that is all around us. He even thinks he need not get involved because he is not that affected by politics because he seldom ventures more than a few miles from his farm.
If you are not at the table, you are on the menu. Whether he thinks he’s not affected, he still pays the taxes and is regulated by the government that other people voted for.
Oh no doubt there is some rot in the elections. But I am talking about local. I highly doubt any international involvement in our area and our election board is credible. Have been an election judge for 5 years and have seen nothing to make me question the results. I watch the blue haired people, those wearing rainbow flag shirts, NEA pins and other such virtue signaling voting apparel show up in droves in local elections, while in the presidential, American flag shirts, and other conservative 'signals' are the majority. Trump won all precincts in my city in 2016, all but 2 in 2020, and all but 11 in 2024 (out of ~50). So yes, creeping purple, but the most conservative precincts based on presidential elections also have the lowest turnout % in local/April elections. We don't have required party registration in MO so no exact way to measure, but lefties definitely raise more money, have more volunteers, and host more candidate events than the conservatives. Been working hard to change this but it's an uphill battle.
I don't quite agree with Clif High on this, but he's probably not far off. He recently said if fair elections were ever held in America, the democrats would not win a single seat in Congress
I had to wonder yesterday…how many people actually believe the 5 year old, abandoned by his father, was failed by ICE and not his own family? Out of desperation, they just keep spinning far too hard and lose all credibility. I can’t imagine they aren’t creating more defectors every day.

I so love a cleverly crafted lampoon. Cheers to that. 🍻 Brought to you by the good folks at Wikipedia, where truth reigns supreme. "Sorry to interrupt, but can you donate some money towards our lying ass propaganda machine?" 🤣
WP, this is satire, right? If not, you are showing how far people have gone off the rails in this country (there are plenty who believe this). Thanks for the belly laugh!
channeling my inner Progressive Dem Leftist so that i can fit in at the Next few "No Kings!" events being planned in my Red(neck) County. SERIOUSLY this IS the Democratic Party's definition of "success". SICK right? just oppose Trump and all things American, slander your neighbors, and promote cheating, crime, and corruption as being virtuous.
Oh, well 40%+ apparently believe it all or just say "who cares, it's all meaningless anyway! America and its people deserve to be laid low". Mental Illness is indeed a National Security Crisis
Yes, maybe i'm still recovering from being a Reagan-hating Dem in the 1980s?. Bill Clinton and CO Gov. Roy Roemer changed my mind on things as did Senator Ben Nighthorse Campbell. Colorado Republicans in 2026 are a people without a Party and a persecuted minority in a Hyper-Progressive State
It’s complete sarcasm. He always makes posts like these. They sound like they could be serious but are actually satire. Our own C&C version of the Babylon Bee as it were 😆😁
Suggestion: start watching the movie "Idiocracy" once a year to gauge how things are going in the real world!
In fact, your list gives me an idea: list every stupid thing anyone says or does in Idiocracy and check that list against the blue hairs and soy boy antics.
I’m stealing this one. “legion of brain warped dullards” My frustration these days with these fools leaves my brain too empty to come up with the proper term to call them. You nailed it.
I’ve overused “simpleton”, “pampered tart”, “moron”, well - you get the idea. They are all just insults and don’t convict. “Brain warped dullard” forces one to pause and absorb the truth. 😂
Great observation, and one I've been saying for a while.
When you look at the policies the dems support, it's nuts. Most of them are completely illogical and any thinking person would see that. Unchecked immigration, crime/bail policies, welfare fraud, illegals voting - all of this stuff is complely crazy.
That's why arguing with them is pointless - they didn't arrive at these positions from logic.
You should see the Tucker podcast yesterday following 2 brothers trekking the immigrant pathways to europe and how full of fraud it is. 30 minutes long. They are going to do this soon for another immigrant path to expose what goes on. Follow the money.
It's not illogical, it's completely intentional - and evil. Elizabeth Nickson nails it in her latest post, and references Peter Schweizer's new book, which sounds like a must-read.
It’s intentional on one level but a lot of the useful idiots at the base are completely devoid of logic and make decisions entirely based on feelings and emotions.
I have seen several posts by AWFL acquaintances on Facebook lately that parrot the Democrat talking points and they’re all quite obviously fueled by emotion and not facts or logic.
Have you read yesterday's substack by Chris Arnell? He expertly explains the phenomenon of AWFLs, and why logic does not have any bearing on their thoughts or actions. Well worth the read and the effort to share .
Look at what EO's Spamburger just initiated. Also, Tucker just had a podcast yesterday about a young man and his brother going to other countries and following the path of how immigrants get here from Africa. It is astounding the amount of money and fraud and danger involved. One of the brothers was beat in the face in Paris when photographing a street vendor from one of the African nations. The brothers financed this trip on their own. They are setting on a similar journey very soon. Amazing podcast and only 30 minutes.
And if China were still in 1st place on the list of strategic concerns, the press would have been provoked to a meltdown of huge proportions!!!! They are just so phoney... and useless!
UPDATE: one notion behind what I posted here is that we need the first one to fall, the first counties to split from a blue state. It changes the "Overton Window". THAT's my main excitement about the "Greater Idaho Movement".
I'm all for Albertan independence, but how about Eastern OR ("Greater Idaho Movement")?
And then Eastern WA.
And then...so many more red counties dominated by the big blue city in their State.
So many cities ruining perfectly nice otherwise red states! New York City and Chicago come immediately to mind for their respective states and I know there are many others!
I fear we are fast approaching a national “divorce.” There are blue cities who simply hate - a visceral and seething hate for, America and its founding principles. They cannot be persuaded to come back into the fold. The mass demonstrations in MN are exhibit A as well as the Dems get out the vote strategy for the midterms. Watch it vanish as soon as the election passes…. They are demonstrating against law and order and our country’s right to enforce its own border, in reality…
I am curious how many participants in a city's massive demonstrations (any blue city) are from that city, and how many travel there from outside to disturb the peace.
Also if we could deport all of the illegal immigrants and green card holders or naturalized citizens here under false pretenses and/or actively working against this country’s constitutional principles, what would the remaining population look like? Sure there would still be some AWFL types and their soy spouses but I don’t think there are as many as it might seem.
I read about that, not sure what they’re thinking that will accomplish? 🙄 Except inconveniencing the poor employees who have to deal with them. Talk about entitlement and a lack of awareness and consideration!! 🙄😡
If one bears down on the nitty gritty details including the photos and the characters in the "church incident" you should realize it was yet another sloppy production by Intel/DS to divert attention and divide America. A "UNITED" country is much harder to control.
I see your point and understand. Living in a deep blue city, I hope you are wrong. If we could get back to enforcing law and order, we’d have a better hold on the situation. If we could prevent foreign interference and investment in these “protests”, we could prevent riots and obstruction and the need for increased law enforcement. IF we could cut the off the head of the beast…maybe, just MAYBE, we can return common sense to America. It may take a generation to accomplish, but it can be done. We saw its undoing…it’s time to undo the undoing…
The only problem is this time the beast they created regrows its head. The body needs to be taken out so that they stop their nonsense. Every one of those protestors would follow any leader they put in front of them because they have basically become a planarian worm.
However, we should also realize with great joy that we are going to be ok after Trump leaves office. We too have become strong enough to survive without our head. 🤷🏼♀️
You'll see them descend into slum wastelands, and then perhaps the remaining people who will have avoided being depressed for living in such a hole that they'll do something about it, or they'll pray for a meteor to reduce it to smoking rubble (Ala Sodom and Gomorrah). I point to this part of the Declaration of Independence:
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."
SE New Mexico. Every single blue state has vast swaths of red, but overwhelmed by 1 or 2 large urban areas. IDK what the answer is for all of us in the rural parts of every state….
My idea, at least one move away from our current lack of representation in the Congress: each State elects two Senators but instead of the elections both being State-wide, one Senator is selected by the counties with the largest populations (half of the State's population) and the other Senator is elected by the smallest counties.
You just list the counties in order of population, from largest to smallest. Go down the list until you hit 50% of the State's population and that's where you draw the line.
There was an attempt in South Dakota to make sure that every county was represented in statewide ballot initiative petitions. That attempt was defeated by our legislature, thus solidifying urban areas' heavy thumb on the rural areas --- in a supposedly "conservative" state.
John Thune is our Senator, so that should tell you something.
Greg, I think that the fix you propose will be difficult to accomplish, I suggest the root cause of your dissatisfaction be addressed more directly and easily: term limits for the likes of members of Congress. Patty Murray (D-WA) has been in the US Senate since 1993, 33 years! And Maria Cantwell (D-WA) has enjoyed the power of incumbency since 2001, 25 years.
It’s an interesting thought & I’d need to do the county by county math, but at least in NM, the population of the entire state is only about 2.5 million, mostly centered in liberal Albuquerque, Santa Fe & Las Cruces. In addition, some of the smaller rural counties are liberal too (most of the Indian reservations, as 1 example, & we’ve got a LOT of them).
Cindi I feel your pain. Dona Ana County resident here, totally disenfranchised by the elephant of Las Cruces in the room. City Council might as well re-name itself the Politburo.
I hate that for Las Cruces; we love it there. Even owned property on Baylor Canyon Rd for many years, in hopes of relocating one day.
NM is hopeless because the mindless midwits keep voting against their / our own best interests. That, AND rank corruption in this 1 party state.
At this point if we ever felt we had to leave the state, we’d go to El Paso. Not exactly bright red but at least it’s TX & a stone’s throw from Cruces.
imagine the amount of "foreign" money and influence, whether it be from the DNC, or other countries that would pour into those thinly populated areas in order to buy the elections. I think corruption would win over the population's political preferences, since it would be easier for big money to use it's influence.
It seems, then, by your analysis, that there is no reason for anyone to participate in an effort to correct the situation, since foreign and out-of-state money can buy anyone who is inclined to be bought.
In small-population areas, it is a lot easier for the locals to identify who is being bought and to bring pressure on them.
While these things are technically doable, constitutionally, there are so many hurdles that would be impossible to jump. Sadly it’s not just what the people who live there want … both (all?) state legislatures would have to approve and then it would have to be passed by Congress. What are the odds of all of that happening?
You're right of course, David. But here's my hope: we just need the first example to happen. I hope it's ID and Eastern OR, but maybe if Alberta leaves C eh N eh D eh, it will be the first domino?
I've written several times to President Trump, because I know how much he values my opinion (ha!), asking him to get behind the Greater ID Movement.
And my pushback against Salem OR, the ones opposing this, is "look, you're not going to lose in Congress. The smaller OR will still elect two communists to the US Senate. And the conservative representatives that Eastern OR sends to the House will still be going to the House...but from ID. OR might lose a representative or two but Portland doesn't!"
But then there's the money and resources. The lefties hate to admit it but if they are left to live on organic vegetables and wind/solar power, they're going to be hungry, cold, and walking everywhere.
Let’s just remove the cheat and stop allowing ie Portland from ruining the entire state. Same for most blue states I believe, One county decides for all? End That, end Blue states.
I love it! Maybe one way is to model reforms after the US Constitution and Bill of Rights. A key principle to those brilliant documents was the rights of minority populations or factions. That's pretty much lost at the State level.
So, what reforms to State Constitutions would get us there? Super-majority requirements for key things the Legislature does to the Red Counties might be a good start. No rules, regs, building/development codes for rural areas that don't apply to large urban areas, although we gotta be careful with that because the response might be "ok, all the stupid stuff Portland imposes on itself now applies Statewide!"
What ideas do you all have for reforming State Constitutions to protect red counties?
What if the smaller red communities join forces to create their own competing large red city? Do the city the way we wish they were done. Grow big enough that it renders the blue cities impotent. Since we can’t take over the blue from within, let’s do a Trump move and create our own!
Or maybe the counties should join forces? I wonder how many State Constitutions give power or goodies to counties based on their size (population)?
If that's a thing, then the 13 Eastern OR counties who've signed onto the "Greater Idaho Movement" could decide to become one big county and dwarf the other counties in OR...except maybe for Multnomah (Portland).
Not sure this is the "main game". Not likely to win overall...but maybe it's a step in the right direction?
Scott Jennings is the only thing keeping CNN afloat. I love watching him roast these idiot “journalists”. I took a peek at Cameron Kasey’s X page. The ratio is off the hook. He’s getting roasted. A marvelous sight to read. 🤣
Kasky “said that by accident and didn’t mean it”. Twice is not an accident. He did mean it. So now he’s just lying. Hard to believe that X post absolves him from a defamation case.
LMAO!!! Kid, if you can't take the heat, stay out of the kitchen.
" the 26-year-old is not intending to step back from the spotlight, sources said, but he is instead focused on his radio shows on SiriusXM, because he 'wants control, total control.'
'He’s only doing shows where they adore him... He thinks he’s the next Rachel Maddow,' the insider added."
Just like most leftists, they can not defend their ideas/cannons. So, the only way they can exist is if they are the only voice.
LOL. Dylan. These kids are all castrated. Imagine them trying to defend themselves. They would start pulling hair as they have no fists. This Kasky idiot is a democratic socialist like someone else we know in NY. He dropped out of college and was brought up as a theatre kid and in drama class in high school. Seems they perfected his whining and effeminate skillset. He is in his words, queer. Do we need to hear more, I think not.
“…there will come a day when experts openly wonder how Europe sucked us into their unimaginably expensive Proxy War in Ukraine— even though it threatened zero U.S. interests. Never forget that they did it through a massive, covid-level propaganda operation— aimed straight at Democrat empathy. Feelings.”
I suggest auditing the investment portfolios of all Dems & rinos that supported the green goblin. It’s amazing where our tax dollars likely ended up. Follow the money!
Yeah, Ukarine was a huge washing machine for money. I thought, though, US interests were the biolabs we had there and I thought I read something about CIA secret spy "bunkers" near the Russian border? Could all be fake, IDK.
my view is it is all related to democrats obsession with Trump/Russia election conspiracy and payback to Russia for getting Trump elected - amazing how they cling to proven falsehoods like Jan 6 being a coup
We didn't get sucked in...we started it...the eastward expansion of NATO despite assurances to the contrary...2013/14....Obama and Nuland and their color revolution...
“Mark my words: there will come a day when experts openly wonder how Europe sucked us into their unimaginably expensive Proxy War in Ukraine— even though it threatened zero U.S. interests”.
Europe sucked us in?? we triggered the Maidan color revolution, we had our 10 secret bio labs, trained, and armed Ukraine. All for the purpose of antagonizing and destabilizing Russia.. This will come back to haunt us.
All Trump has to do is stop sending money, weapons, intelligence, and that war will end in weeks. Then we can restore Faith in the western financial system by returning Russia’s stolen reserves.
I believe the quote from Dept. of State Victoria Nuland, as she was plotting the coup and replacement regime with ambassador Geoffrey Pyatt, was "F**k the EU".
Maybe that’s why they are meeting with the other western hemisphere countries about a new defense, and they intend to make Europe responsible for supporting the Ukraine war so that we can finally turn off our spigot - and then the war will end. Maybe little Z knows that’s the plan and it’s why he was more or less pro-Trump at Davos?
Inbound to the N GA and W NC mountains as I type this. Wonder if I can keep the internet router going with kerosene power when the electric lines come tumblin' down.
Me too. It also warned me about today's Nickson substack. I find it odd to "warned" about something I have subscribed to for a long time. Google is a source of evil.
Tonya, I think that warning was spot on…. The pink-haired, nose-ringed, gender-bending,low-IQ’d folks might very well have a (real) psychotic break if just one teeny-weeny nugget of Jeff-truth pierces the membrane walling off their god given brain’s truth/logic center. I’m being serious but colorful here…
ProtonMail (as noted!) also Thunderbird (Mozilla). Not as familiar with Mailspring and Mailbird, other than that they exist. You might have to put up with ads (as you do with gmail!) for the free version.
“If Governor Carney thinks he is going to make Canada a ‘Drop Off Port’ for China to send goods and products into the United States, he is sorely mistaken. China will eat Canada alive, completely devour it, including the destruction of their businesses, social fabric, and general way of life,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social on the morning of Jan. 24.
“If Canada makes a deal with China, it will immediately be hit with a 100% Tariff against all Canadian goods and products coming into the U.S.A. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” (Epoch Times)
And so Trump should do just that! I’m reading Sam Cooper’s Wilful Blindness and the China bromance with Canada has been years in the making with many Crime Ministers involved in the coup.
How can Canadians have TDS as they don't even live here? Must be the libtards from the states being the vectors of their communicable disease bringing
it into Canada when visiting. I apologize for that. Ask the CFIA about a procedure to stop that. They are experts on those topics especially after murdering all the ostriches and ruining a family business.
Carney used TDS and his 'elbows up' campaign to scare Canadians into thinking Trump is Bad Orange Man that will take over Canada and make it into a 51st State and it worked. Carney has not let up. He is very closely aligned with DAVOS Elites, One World Government agenda.
Yes, carney belongs in a carnevale as the court jester. He is no elite, that is for sure. And as far as the WEF and Davos, we outnumber them, they know it and that is why they are trying to depop us. This is why we rise up and literally fight for what is good in the world and for our children.
They can trade with anyone they want, obviously. But it doesn’t mean they get unfettered access to US markets if they have a close trading relationship with our biggest competitor.
Yes, our prosperity and I and all I know are doing great. There must be something wrong with you if you are not. Move to Canada. That should do it for you!
Prices are great where I am. You must live in a libtard state where taxes are high. Too bad so sad for you. I just looked, yes PA. Libtard state. Next.
Trump wants to help everyone. Sovereignty for all nations. However, Carney is outright working against him. Carney is a fool who only cares about his personal investment. He is aligned with the UK and the EU.
What so funny is that they wanted to stick it to Elon's electric cars. However, Tesla has a plant in China so he actually made Teslas cheaper for Canadians to buy.
The younger generation is starting to figure it out. Alberta definitely has as they prepare to separate. Quebec is also considering separation. We awaken slowly, and then hopefully, all at once. Fingers crossed.
They were listening to MSM to their detriment. We have a way of ignoring what is not happening until it is in our own back yard. Conservatives are not used to speaking out. American news, like The New York Times, is not helping Trumps cause or ours. Our Government has still not accepted the COVID farce.
Why would Canadians read that rag? NY sux, everyone knows that. Poor Canada, they are in a malevolent trance. Hopefully the few of you that are normal can save yourselves. Best of luck Vicki to you and yours.
As a Canadian, I grow more despondent each week. The level of hysterical propaganda spewing out of our government funded media is astonishing. As our economy lags behind virtually every other developed nation, large swathes of the population truly believe we are about to be invaded by the US military -- even as they surrender their guns to the Liberal governments latest "buy-back" scheme. We are blessed with abundant natural resources but our bureaucracy makes California look like an efficient and well-oiled machine. I guess we have to hit rock bottom before we learn?
30 million people sitting on massive oil reserves, timber, farming land, minerals and bordering one of the riches countries in the world...how do you screw that up?
Unfortunately Canada is the perfect example of what happens to a pleasant country when it is ruled by people who genuinely hate the native population. (By native I mean the people who built the country not the Eskimos.) Couple that with a native population that are too "nice" to do anything about it.
Your economy is in the toilet as it was 1) deliberately sabotaged by people attempting to wish liberal green new deal fantasies into reality. That seldom works. And 2) it was structured to exploit the good-will of the US in acting as back door passthrough for foreign goods (legal and illegal) into our country. And unfortunately for Canada our good will is over.
Next, your government actively worked to import millions of foreigners (mostly India Indians) into your country. These people have no stake in Canada, its history, or culture, in fact they openly despise it. They simply see Canada as a vehicle to extract money (again legal and illegal) for their own gain, they are quite literally parasites. This has happened in the US too, but as a percentage of Canada's population the magnitude is mind boggling. And this was done to deliberately replace your country's White, Christian population.
Your government actively destroyed any sense of Christian social cohesion which built the country in the first place. The perfect example is the mass graves hoax which your government deliberately promoted, which falsely portrayed kind-hearted historical Christian charity towards the Eskimos and Indians (not the India type but scalping type), as a psychopathic genocide. Your government actively promoted homosexuality and trans insanity as a social good, while demonizing anyone who objected as evil. They even prosecuted them as hate crimes. Your frootloop former prime minster (the bastard son of Castro) was the poster child for all of this.
And what did Canadians do while all this was happening? Nothing. The population of Canada again quite literally did nothing as objecting wouldn't be seen as "nice". The Americans are loud and obnoxious, and obsessed with their guns, and we don't behave like that in Canada. Well maybe you should have. Aside from the heroic truckers, has their been ANY organized resistance to all of this? Nope, that wouldn't be "nice" and the most important thing in the world for a Canadian is that no one view them as mean.
Seriously, after Trudeau drove the country off a cliff, the country still wouldn't elect the most milktoast, namby-pamby, so-called Conservative around. In fact Poilievre deliberately ran a campaign that pandered to the India Indians, trash-talked Trump, with almost no specifics, and even that was considered too right-wing. Instead you elected a globalist banker from the same party as Trudeau. Lol. Just not serious people.
So this is why Trump is actively decoupling from Canada, your government is evil and the people won't do anything about it. And unfortunately for Canada, it is only going to get worse as Trump is going to punish Canada severely for colluding with China. All of the "nice" Canadians will just have to console themselves with memories from a proud past, such as their participation in WW2 or the last Stanley Cup win in 1993.
Or, the people of Canada can get over their virtue-signaling about how "nice" they are and actually do something to reclaim their country. I don't see it happening.
You are correct about the laurentian elite. The divide is between east and west. Western provinces are more independent and we have massive tax transfers from Alberta to Ottawa and basically finance the country. Albertans are independent and louder than the snobs in the east. Our cultures are very different. You comment is right about the east but increasingly wrong about the west
Canada has also been affected by the same "election fraud" as the US (as well as the more populated smurf energy as we see in red states with blue pop centers) so it does not ALL rest on the Canadian people.
Boom. Canada is now a Welcome doormat for every diseased mindset that man can invent. Step right up folks, Canada is so nice and welcomes you with open arms. And as far a "nice", screw that.
I had thought the "buy backs" were not going well?
The first step to freedom is to remove the yoke of the British crown. We had to do it 1776 & 1812. Still have to stomp their grasping fingers occasionally. All the immigration & Chinese "investment" allowed/encouraged by Carney is going to sink CA.
I don't blame you. carney is a looney tune. And we are not going to invade canada as no offense, we don't want to even step foot in canada right now. It is diseased. You will get through it but it won't be easy.
Re: Alberta- there are LONG lines to sign the referendum document to become an Independent Alberta, which is wonderful! HOWEVER, I have very little faith that there will be honest elections during the actual voting. Canada will not give up their cash cow so easily.
The election will be rigged like they have been in the past!
All Trump wanted from the Crime Minister was to get the immigration and drug trafficking under control. Is that too much to ask. Unfortunately, Canada/Ottawa might get more than what they never bargained for!
Good to see slime balls like Lemon being gone after, but then I remember, did he actually harm anyone? What about Fauci, Epstein, Butler, Kirk? Where are those investigations going? Nowhere under Bondi. She is utterly worthless. I predicted the Comey case would go nowhere, and I was castigated by all the TDS sufferers here (Trump Deification Syndrome), but once again, I was proven right.
Another distraction while Rome burns that the seals will clap for, while the real crimes of our time go unprosecuted.
Not for me. I am so tired of it all. We provide indisputable proof of corruption and crime that has ruined lives, TAKEN lives, but the only thing that happens, is that there is another major injustice to take its place, and we move to the next outrage, with the criminals going their merry way, free. Lather, rinse, repeat. Ad nauseum.
Is it Bondi that is utterly worthless or is she up against the impossible? Either way, we have seen very little of the accountability we were promised. I don't know. What I do know is I am SICK of hearing how we are going to go after the rampant and pervasive corruption and criminality in this country and yet, NOTHING, but NOTHING happens.
Compassion should not be lying to people to make them feel better about their sin, it is telling the truth with love and offer of redemption with change from sin.
You forgot Gates, who was neck deep in the bioweapons research crimes, as well as the "vaccine" crimes.
He was at Davos, on a panel talking about the future biometric IDs that will prove your compliance to the rulers. Why is he walking free, let alone cavorting at Davos, wining and dining and doing other nefarious deeds we know he enjoys?
We know he was an associate of Epstein, admitted and proven with photos and flight logs.
Yet no indictment has been issued???? Even while the Dems make the Epstein files their top priority, spewing out the slogan as if they have Tourette's, at every opportunity.
Why? Why can't the Reps spew back "Bill Gates" every time they hear "Epstein files"?
“People’s” Republic of Minnesota. Remember, all the best communist/socialist collectivist hellholes in the world include the “People” in the name of their delusional republic.
They stack all of the “freedom” words as much as possible. Democratic People’s Republic is a sign that it’s neither democratic, for the people nor a republic (to use Linda Richmond’s format 😆 Tawk amongst yourselves 😆😛).
I love that Jeff just blithely asserts that all other countries are "adversaries"...at least that's how I take this: "Instead, I’m saying that he (and his team) worked up an astonishing plan that was so big, so bold, and so audacious that it took our adversaries completely by surprise".
He's right...even friends can be adversarial. In business, everyone you deal with is a potential adversary. It's the right mindset for Trump 2.0
For those who have never read Whittaker Chamber's book "Witness," it may be the best book ever written about how the Communists work to undermine our country.
A Nice Weekend Message, Happy Saturday!
We all learn and grow in different ways, many times it’s a community, or a group. It can be at our job, where we learn from a person that is stronger in an area than we are. Or here on C&C, where we learn from a great author/lawyer and the experiences of their wonderful subscribers. Over time we can grow, we become educated, it could be we learn to be more compassionate, certainly we become better educated.
Within these groups are individual people, each of us with our own individual deficiencies. Some of us, myself included, struggle at times with dwelling on those limitations. If I was a little more self confident, a little taller, if I had a nicer personality, if I grew up in a better home, or maybe if I controlled my temper better, be a little more patient. We often let our faults and weakness become an excuse to stay at mediocrity. The truth is God doesn’t just use perfect people. If he did, none of us would have a chance.
As believers our life is not put on hold until we become perfect. Gods calling uses all of us as we are growing, while we are changing. Like all of the disciples Peter was far from perfect, he had a bad temper, used bad language, cursed at people. His faults showed right up until the crucification of Jesus and I’m sure beyond.
He had plenty of room to grow but yet he was still chosen as a disciple, one of Jesus’ right hand men. You would think Jesus would have picked someone more polished more disciplined. When you have a heart to please God you may make mistakes, you may have areas you need to strengthen, but that doesn’t disqualify you from doing good along the way. If God could use Peter in such a great way, with all of his flaws, he can surely use us. The scripture says Gods power shows up greatest in our weaknesses. So if we wait until we are perfect, we will be waiting our entire life.
This doesn’t mean to accept our limitations, we should always try to grow, improve, strive to do better. Isn’t this why we’re all here? But in the meantime we shouldn’t beat ourselves up because we haven’t arrived. We are Gods workmanship, it’s a lifelong process. There will always be areas we need to work on. Instead of condemning ourselves we need to start accepting ourselves. There is power when we conclude I like who I am. I’m happy with myself.
Here’s a great short story I hope you’ll enjoy.
There was an elderly Asian woman. She had two large pots that hung on the end of a long pole that would rest on her neck and shoulders. Every day she would walk from her house down to the stream to get some fresh water. One of the pots had a small crack in it, the other pot was perfect. Because of the crack when she’d get back from the long walk that pot with the leak would only be about 1/2 full. This went on week after week month after month.
The perfect pot was very proud of its accomplishments, always bringing a full pot of water. But the pot with the crack, well it felt a little embarrassed, ashamed by its imperfection.
One day it said to the elderly woman I really feel bad that I don’t measure up, I’m only delivering about 1/2 of what I was supposed to. The woman said, have you noticed that there are flowers on your side of the path from where the water has leaked out? That’s because I’ve always known about your flaw so I have planted seeds on your side of the path. Every day when we return from the stream you water those seeds. For the last 2 years I have picked those flowers and decorated my house. Without you being just the way you are there wouldn’t be this beauty in my house.
Every one of us has unique flaws and weaknesses. We could easily be down on ourself. But just like this lady, God knows where to plant the seeds to get the most out of our weaknesses. Remember God is not finished with us. Don’t go through life being against yourself. Dare to say I like myself. Be the best you can be with what Gods given you. Keep striving and you’ll find you will become everything Gods created you to be. J.Goodrich
😭🥰 This one got me this morning. My nose and eyes are still running. My soul must have needed to hear it. ❤️ Thank you, James.
I will second that!
Hear, hear!
AMEN & AMEN!
How very much we are loved by God that He would use us just the way we are knowing that at the same time we are growing more like Him. All praise to our wise and loving Father!
Yes, Peter is my favorite apostle. He screws up at times, Jesus even called him 'satan' once, and yet he was the "rock" on which Jesus built his Church. We are all St. Peter at times, both the good and the bad qualities, but all Children of God and thus blessed.
Yes, Peter is my favorite apostle too, because he reminds me of me. But may I kindly and with great love, correct something? Peter is not the rock on which Jesus built His church. It was, in fact, Peter's declaration that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of the living God, as recorded in Matthew 16:16. The Church is built on faith in Christ as our Savior, not on any human being.
“When Christ at a symbolic moment was establishing His great society, He chose for its cornerstone neither the brilliant Paul nor the mystic John, but a shuffler, a snob, a coward – in a word, a man. And upon this rock He has built His Church, and the gates of Hell have not prevailed against it.”
But this one thing, the historic Christian Church, was founded on a weak man, and for that reason it is indestructible. For no chain is stronger than its weakest link.”
G.K.Chesterton
Quoting the opinion of a Catholic man doesn’t quite cover the disagreement DoubleMC pointed out above. I suspect that this issue will have to be one about which many of us will have to agree to disagree. Here is a great little article that provides four different possibilities for the meaning ‘the rock upon which the church will be built.’ One day believers will see Jesus face to face and will be able to ask what He meant with the play on words in this passage. Until then, we will have to agree to disagree about our preferred interpretation.
https://www.gotquestions.org/upon-this-rock.html
We are all entitled to our opinions. That’s why God gave us free will.
Amen.
Such a great post!! Amen to all that!!
Especially loved this part:
“As believers our life is not put on hold until we become perfect. Gods calling uses all of us as we are growing, while we are changing. Like all of the disciples Peter was far from perfect, he had a bad temper, used bad language, cursed at people. His faults showed right up until the crucification of Jesus and I’m sure beyond.”
A great reminder that even the saints weren’t perfect and we can all be used for God’s purposes, whatever our flaws 🙏
Thanks so much for that meaningful exhortation! Along that same theme, I went to a pre-screening at Biola University for I Can Only Imagine 2. It comes out February 20 and addresses this same topic. God uses our flaws for his glory. Highly recommend it. It continues the story of Bart, the lead in Mercy Me, which I Can Only Imagine, the first movie began.
I haven't seen the sequel yet. Thanks for the reminder!
Yes, the apostles were a mess! We are all broken. If we weren't, we wouldn't need Jesus.
Beautifully written and much to ponder on…thank you for sharing this with us today and God bless you, abundantly 🙏🏻
A beautiful story about the pots, James. Thank you for sharing.
Hey, come on now, James.
You dropped this on us a day early!
sermon received and loved.
Dang! Thank you for this. I am so beyond imperfect and wonder why God even pays attention to me but yet he does. I have had a good life but have dealt with physical issues and anxiety and depression that seems to go hand in hand. Yet, I have been blessed and these issues have made me who I am today. Even so, I need a lot of work but God is holding me up. My husband wears a belt and suspenders and he was asked once why. I said it was a big job and he needed extra enforcement. 🤣That's how I look at God. Extra support when life becomes difficult and a thump on the head when I act up. Again, thank you for making me think this morning.
Nice - Excellent!
Shabbat Shalom!! What a wonderful Blessed Sabbath day!
I love it!!!!!
May we share your post?
Giving you credit, of course!!
Yes, sorry I’ve been out with friends today!
Oh my, I love your post in so many ways. A great reminder to keep God as our focus. The story at the end was such a beautiful way to show our flaws have a purpose, we just need to remember we don’t need to be perfect in our eyes. We will never be perfect. We can only pray for God’s grace to make us stronger and more capable to spread the Truth.
Awesome, James. So well written! Thank you.
And I learned this from your post: why St Peter is guarding the Gates of Heaven--"Peter was far from perfect, he had a bad temper, used bad language, cursed at people" Sounds like a great bouncer! :)
Second thought about your post, a quote from Jordan Peterson, who I have trouble listening to for very long, but usually like what he's saying...just not how long it takes him to say it...but I digress. The Peterson quote (roughly from memory): human beings are built to carry burdens. We thrive when struggling (not always of course...but when we get to that balance...maybe?) This seems to be part of what you are saying?
😢
☕️🍪💐thank you for this story and your sermon❣️
Yes James, we are all "cracked pots" 😊
✝️✝️✝️
Praise the LORD from the earth,
Sea monsters and all deeps;
Fire and hail, snow and clouds;
Stormy wind, fulfilling His word;
Mountains and all hills;
Fruit trees and all cedars;
Beasts and all cattle;
Creeping things and winged fowl;
Kings of the earth and all peoples;
Princes and all judges of the earth;
Both young men and virgins;
Old men and children.
Let them praise the name of the LORD,
For His name alone is exalted;
His glory is above earth and heaven.
— Psalm 148:7-13 NAS95
✝️✝️✝️
Thank you Janice, I too believe God will take care of the righteous, there is nothing to fear on this earth, God is with us.
I’ve been praying for you Janice! I missed a few days of comments this week as dear husband and I both had the horrific stomach flu and are still recovering. I trust you made it home safely before the snow?
Hi Margot! So sorry you and your husband have been sick. Yes, we got out of OKC around 11 and were home by 1:00. The sun even shined and we had no problems. Good to be home. Thank you for your prayers!
Janice, I love this Psalm mentioning all His beautiful creatures. When I see a whale breaching, I think of he or she quickly rising out of the sea toward the sky and for a quick moment being able to thank God for the beauty of the day.
Praise God from whom all blessings flow! Praise Him all creatures, here below!
Amen!
The most radical progressive nut jobs infesting the DC sewer along with their legion of brain warped dullards constantly excoriate Trump as a means to deflect from their own conspicuous mind numbing psychosis:
Proof of US citizenship to vote - AGAINST
Securing the border - AGAINST
Ban male participation in women's sports - AGAINST
Ability to define a female - STUPEYFYINGLY VAGUE
Thinks men can get pregnant - CURRENTLY CHECKING FARMER'S ALMANAC
Support of a woman president - UNKNOWN. ADEQUATE DEFINITION REMAINS HAZY.
Shall I go on? ....sure:
Can adequately differentiate between a kidnapping of a child and the rescue of one: PENDING, BASED ON A TOTALLY UNBIASED ABC INVESTIGATION.
Ownership of private property - AGAINST, etc....
In summary:
Common sense - AGAINST
Logic - AGAINST
Reason - AGAINST
America First - AGAINST
It’s mind boggling. My neighbor and I opened our doors to neighbors for a petition drive in Colorado. 3 ballot initiatives for next November:
1. Prison for life for sex traffickers
2. Ban sex surgeries (child mutilation) for minors
3. Prohibit boys from playing in in girls sports or using girls locker rooms in k-12 ed.
EVERY SINGLE PERSON said the same thing as they signed, “Can you believe this is even an issue?”
Common sense in America is dead.
If you live in COLORADO and HAVEN’T SIGNED YET, contact Protect Kids Colorado ASAP. There are petition drives happening all over the state. We only have a week left…so please get out and sign!!
https://www.protectkidscolorado.org/
I'm beginning to think that America is probably 60% conservative (or more). So many of these positions are downright silly, and so few people would support them if asked.
The people that support them are either using them to gain power (BLM, elected officials) or are emotionally driven to oppose everything the administration does.
If they can clean up the fraud and the voting systems that are entwined with them, enforce citizen-only voting and robust voting practices, we might well see this in the voting results, leading to the virtual death of the democratic party in the US.
As someone who knocks a lot of doors, I would tend to agree and perhaps even put that % in my midwest corner of the world higher than that. The problem is that many: are turned off by 'politics' - the inflammatory rhetoric, the bashing, the ugliness and are more focused on 'life' - jobs, kids, health issues, etc. AND some are cowed by the very loud and obnoxious 'cancel culture' crowd. They are afraid to put up a yard sign. They 'keep their views to themselves' and may or may not vote. Have had people tell me, oh, I meant to vote last year but forgot.
Bongino's pre-FBI frequent comment "It's not bad enough yet" comes to mind. Sadly, once it gets 'bad enough' it is too late. Public schools are a joke. Our city is turning into a 15 minute city. People are being taxed out of their homes. And yet, people vote for Democrats because they run campaigns based on emotional appeals and virtue signaling. Then they get elected and turn sharply left, but the average voter is back to head in the sand, or asking what is happening to our city/schools?? Answer: you voted for this.
Fear sells and there are buyers aplenty. Let's not even get into the surety of the effects of propaganda on malleable minds. It’s a cakewalk for the Controllers, which is why it is in constant operation.
Fear Sells, and everyone's buying
I am not buying. I blather all over the place. I have a big mouth that God gave me and using it for good.
Yeah. Just look at the covid shots. Fear. Fear. Fear.
Yes, the grocery stores loaded up with panic buyers over this pending 'historic snowstorm' and people talked about little else for a week. Right now we have maybe an inch accumulated, but it is 2 degrees out, so there's that!
And don't forget why the 40% win so many elections: because they are the ones counting the votes! Until that ends, there's no hope.
That's my biggest hope for the midterms, namely, that the shenanigans are much less and the few misbehavers are called out, tarred, feathered, and ridden out of town on a rail!!!
My oldest brother in law is one of the most kind and decent people I know, but the problem is such people cannot fathom the depth and the breadth of evil that is all around us. He even thinks he need not get involved because he is not that affected by politics because he seldom ventures more than a few miles from his farm.
If you are not at the table, you are on the menu. Whether he thinks he’s not affected, he still pays the taxes and is regulated by the government that other people voted for.
Voted? Not really.
And much that parades as grass roots emphatically is not:
https://elizabethnickson.substack.com/p/the-electorate-isnt-5050-the-real
Oh no doubt there is some rot in the elections. But I am talking about local. I highly doubt any international involvement in our area and our election board is credible. Have been an election judge for 5 years and have seen nothing to make me question the results. I watch the blue haired people, those wearing rainbow flag shirts, NEA pins and other such virtue signaling voting apparel show up in droves in local elections, while in the presidential, American flag shirts, and other conservative 'signals' are the majority. Trump won all precincts in my city in 2016, all but 2 in 2020, and all but 11 in 2024 (out of ~50). So yes, creeping purple, but the most conservative precincts based on presidential elections also have the lowest turnout % in local/April elections. We don't have required party registration in MO so no exact way to measure, but lefties definitely raise more money, have more volunteers, and host more candidate events than the conservatives. Been working hard to change this but it's an uphill battle.
The article in the link gives more detail.
Obviously local conditions hopefully vary.
YES, exactly. You hit the nail!
Well said Donna
I don't quite agree with Clif High on this, but he's probably not far off. He recently said if fair elections were ever held in America, the democrats would not win a single seat in Congress
And RINOS like Lindsay Graham would be long gone!
I had to wonder yesterday…how many people actually believe the 5 year old, abandoned by his father, was failed by ICE and not his own family? Out of desperation, they just keep spinning far too hard and lose all credibility. I can’t imagine they aren’t creating more defectors every day.
I pray so.

I so love a cleverly crafted lampoon. Cheers to that. 🍻 Brought to you by the good folks at Wikipedia, where truth reigns supreme. "Sorry to interrupt, but can you donate some money towards our lying ass propaganda machine?" 🤣
I'm sorry. Did I just roll my eyes out loud?
(from a meme)
I'd like a fact check on those.
You misspelled Epstein-Clinton.
22) Stopped the Epstein-Trump Sex Trafficking Ring???
WP, this is satire, right? If not, you are showing how far people have gone off the rails in this country (there are plenty who believe this). Thanks for the belly laugh!
channeling my inner Progressive Dem Leftist so that i can fit in at the Next few "No Kings!" events being planned in my Red(neck) County. SERIOUSLY this IS the Democratic Party's definition of "success". SICK right? just oppose Trump and all things American, slander your neighbors, and promote cheating, crime, and corruption as being virtuous.
Whew! You almost got us! Well done you!
What's crazy is that most people I know actually believe this. 🙄
Yes, many of his posts are satire or tongue-in-cheek 😉 He’s posted on C&C for a long time now so I’ve come to recognize and expect it 🙂
There's a...chasm between your list and the truth. Name escapes...but it's on the tip of my tongue... OH! Sarcasm 😂
Oh, well 40%+ apparently believe it all or just say "who cares, it's all meaningless anyway! America and its people deserve to be laid low". Mental Illness is indeed a National Security Crisis
"checking the Farmers Almanac" 😆😆😆
Last one. The are ceasing publication
😂
You have to use blue font for satire Will…
ha! THAT is dead on.
Love it.
omg.
I heard people like you existed in the wild, but didn't believe it.
And you got off to such a strong start with the INSURRECTION, SCREEEE!!!!!
Plus fifteen likes. They are trying to infest. Don't feed them!
Brought in 11+ million illegals with no visible means of support to uphold law and order.
... thus giving the tax base a huge shot in the arm.
@William- you sweet thing, you. DAMN it must hurt to be you.
Yes, maybe i'm still recovering from being a Reagan-hating Dem in the 1980s?. Bill Clinton and CO Gov. Roy Roemer changed my mind on things as did Senator Ben Nighthorse Campbell. Colorado Republicans in 2026 are a people without a Party and a persecuted minority in a Hyper-Progressive State
It’s complete sarcasm. He always makes posts like these. They sound like they could be serious but are actually satire. Our own C&C version of the Babylon Bee as it were 😆😁
Ok good, I’m not familiar with Will
You’ve got to be kidding me or yourself ‼️
Complete satire….
After posting, I thought I should edit it to include Satire 👍
You're a few months ahead of April Fools Day.
That may be. Justin, but you just came up with the perfect replacement name "Democrat Party": April Fools.
Oh but it’s not just in April unfortunately… 😑
People who are saying that you've got to be kidding clearly can't be up on all the real life facts. This was, sadly, hysterical!
Suggestion: start watching the movie "Idiocracy" once a year to gauge how things are going in the real world!
In fact, your list gives me an idea: list every stupid thing anyone says or does in Idiocracy and check that list against the blue hairs and soy boy antics.
ROFL
🤣😂🤣😂 Thanks for the laughs. I needed that this morning.
You left out “made using upholstery and curtain patterns for dresses fashionable.” 😑
The sad thing is, there are people out there who actually believe your list of “accomplishments” is true!! 🙄🙄🙄
I’m stealing this one. “legion of brain warped dullards” My frustration these days with these fools leaves my brain too empty to come up with the proper term to call them. You nailed it.
I’ve overused “simpleton”, “pampered tart”, “moron”, well - you get the idea. They are all just insults and don’t convict. “Brain warped dullard” forces one to pause and absorb the truth. 😂
Just remember the - between brain and warped 😂😂 Sorry. That was the writer speaking Juju.
Or retard. Simple and to the point.
Great observation, and one I've been saying for a while.
When you look at the policies the dems support, it's nuts. Most of them are completely illogical and any thinking person would see that. Unchecked immigration, crime/bail policies, welfare fraud, illegals voting - all of this stuff is complely crazy.
That's why arguing with them is pointless - they didn't arrive at these positions from logic.
You should see the Tucker podcast yesterday following 2 brothers trekking the immigrant pathways to europe and how full of fraud it is. 30 minutes long. They are going to do this soon for another immigrant path to expose what goes on. Follow the money.
It's not illogical, it's completely intentional - and evil. Elizabeth Nickson nails it in her latest post, and references Peter Schweizer's new book, which sounds like a must-read.
https://elizabethnickson.substack.com/p/how-is-everyone-enjoying-our-lovely
Elizabeth Nickson’s article in her “Welcome to Absurdistan” Substack is magnificent. An absolute MUST READ.
It’s intentional on one level but a lot of the useful idiots at the base are completely devoid of logic and make decisions entirely based on feelings and emotions.
I have seen several posts by AWFL acquaintances on Facebook lately that parrot the Democrat talking points and they’re all quite obviously fueled by emotion and not facts or logic.
Have you read yesterday's substack by Chris Arnell? He expertly explains the phenomenon of AWFLs, and why logic does not have any bearing on their thoughts or actions. Well worth the read and the effort to share .
No I haven’t seen that one! Do you have a link? Sometimes it isn’t easy to search things on Substack.
Look at what EO's Spamburger just initiated. Also, Tucker just had a podcast yesterday about a young man and his brother going to other countries and following the path of how immigrants get here from Africa. It is astounding the amount of money and fraud and danger involved. One of the brothers was beat in the face in Paris when photographing a street vendor from one of the African nations. The brothers financed this trip on their own. They are setting on a similar journey very soon. Amazing podcast and only 30 minutes.

And if China were still in 1st place on the list of strategic concerns, the press would have been provoked to a meltdown of huge proportions!!!! They are just so phoney... and useless!
Racist Sinophobia to empower America's Evil Weapons Industry (which is fine for Ukraine, just not any other case).
UPDATE: one notion behind what I posted here is that we need the first one to fall, the first counties to split from a blue state. It changes the "Overton Window". THAT's my main excitement about the "Greater Idaho Movement".
I'm all for Albertan independence, but how about Eastern OR ("Greater Idaho Movement")?
And then Eastern WA.
And then...so many more red counties dominated by the big blue city in their State.
Can we trade Minnesota for Alberta? I’d go for that…
Just Minneapolis and St Paul. The rest is nicely red!
So many cities ruining perfectly nice otherwise red states! New York City and Chicago come immediately to mind for their respective states and I know there are many others!
My cousin lives in Northern Minnesota. He agrees with you.
Problem is, shite does not stay in one place. It floats to other places even if they are red.
I live 30 mi NW of MPLS.
It is like a different world here by comparison.
Can't see any neighbor's home.
I fear we are fast approaching a national “divorce.” There are blue cities who simply hate - a visceral and seething hate for, America and its founding principles. They cannot be persuaded to come back into the fold. The mass demonstrations in MN are exhibit A as well as the Dems get out the vote strategy for the midterms. Watch it vanish as soon as the election passes…. They are demonstrating against law and order and our country’s right to enforce its own border, in reality…
I am curious how many participants in a city's massive demonstrations (any blue city) are from that city, and how many travel there from outside to disturb the peace.
Most of them a paid. Cut off the hand that pays them, and we may find there are very few who will bother.
Yes, time to cut Soros.
Also if we could deport all of the illegal immigrants and green card holders or naturalized citizens here under false pretenses and/or actively working against this country’s constitutional principles, what would the remaining population look like? Sure there would still be some AWFL types and their soy spouses but I don’t think there are as many as it might seem.
They were all in line at Target returning bags of salt the other day. Not a man among them.
I read about that, not sure what they’re thinking that will accomplish? 🙄 Except inconveniencing the poor employees who have to deal with them. Talk about entitlement and a lack of awareness and consideration!! 🙄😡
Their snail children were happy about it.
If one bears down on the nitty gritty details including the photos and the characters in the "church incident" you should realize it was yet another sloppy production by Intel/DS to divert attention and divide America. A "UNITED" country is much harder to control.
The only person killed so far is not a Minnesotan.
I see your point and understand. Living in a deep blue city, I hope you are wrong. If we could get back to enforcing law and order, we’d have a better hold on the situation. If we could prevent foreign interference and investment in these “protests”, we could prevent riots and obstruction and the need for increased law enforcement. IF we could cut the off the head of the beast…maybe, just MAYBE, we can return common sense to America. It may take a generation to accomplish, but it can be done. We saw its undoing…it’s time to undo the undoing…
The only problem is this time the beast they created regrows its head. The body needs to be taken out so that they stop their nonsense. Every one of those protestors would follow any leader they put in front of them because they have basically become a planarian worm.
However, we should also realize with great joy that we are going to be ok after Trump leaves office. We too have become strong enough to survive without our head. 🤷🏼♀️
I am happy to volunteer for the Take out the body coalition. I have some very good training:}.
Last time I saw, or thought about, a planarian worm was in high school biology class.
Guess I could have used the hydra but for some reason the creepy planarian worm came to mind. Maybe because a hydra seems more sophisticated. Lol
Nard, how can you bear to live is such a degenerate place. Please move and save yourself. It will only get worse and who needs to live like that.
I think you’re right.
And how many are paid to travel?
Cut the funding and I predict the nonsense would fizzle apace.
I encourage the split. I want no part of the deranged left, commies, degenerate left liberal women and all they stand for. Lets build another wall.
You'll see them descend into slum wastelands, and then perhaps the remaining people who will have avoided being depressed for living in such a hole that they'll do something about it, or they'll pray for a meteor to reduce it to smoking rubble (Ala Sodom and Gomorrah). I point to this part of the Declaration of Independence:
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."
https://www.archives.gov/founding-docs/declaration-transcript
All those Blue Cities are infested with illegals.
Dare to dream!
SE New Mexico. Every single blue state has vast swaths of red, but overwhelmed by 1 or 2 large urban areas. IDK what the answer is for all of us in the rural parts of every state….
My idea, at least one move away from our current lack of representation in the Congress: each State elects two Senators but instead of the elections both being State-wide, one Senator is selected by the counties with the largest populations (half of the State's population) and the other Senator is elected by the smallest counties.
You just list the counties in order of population, from largest to smallest. Go down the list until you hit 50% of the State's population and that's where you draw the line.
There was an attempt in South Dakota to make sure that every county was represented in statewide ballot initiative petitions. That attempt was defeated by our legislature, thus solidifying urban areas' heavy thumb on the rural areas --- in a supposedly "conservative" state.
John Thune is our Senator, so that should tell you something.
Greg, I think that the fix you propose will be difficult to accomplish, I suggest the root cause of your dissatisfaction be addressed more directly and easily: term limits for the likes of members of Congress. Patty Murray (D-WA) has been in the US Senate since 1993, 33 years! And Maria Cantwell (D-WA) has enjoyed the power of incumbency since 2001, 25 years.
I took of my shoes and socks, and I still couldn't add up how many years Pelosi has, ah, served our nation.
Agree! btw, the count is easy: ZERO! :)
Keep your shoes and socks on!
Yep. While we're talking about the ridiculous power of incumbency (and democrat-controlled vote counting - and REcounting), let's toss in nepotism.
It’s an interesting thought & I’d need to do the county by county math, but at least in NM, the population of the entire state is only about 2.5 million, mostly centered in liberal Albuquerque, Santa Fe & Las Cruces. In addition, some of the smaller rural counties are liberal too (most of the Indian reservations, as 1 example, & we’ve got a LOT of them).
Cindi I feel your pain. Dona Ana County resident here, totally disenfranchised by the elephant of Las Cruces in the room. City Council might as well re-name itself the Politburo.
Thx KBB, I’m in Chaves County.
I hate that for Las Cruces; we love it there. Even owned property on Baylor Canyon Rd for many years, in hopes of relocating one day.
NM is hopeless because the mindless midwits keep voting against their / our own best interests. That, AND rank corruption in this 1 party state.
At this point if we ever felt we had to leave the state, we’d go to El Paso. Not exactly bright red but at least it’s TX & a stone’s throw from Cruces.
too easy to game that representative from the small counties.
What do you mean? I'm not disagreeing...just not clear to me what you mean and the conversation is a very useful one!
imagine the amount of "foreign" money and influence, whether it be from the DNC, or other countries that would pour into those thinly populated areas in order to buy the elections. I think corruption would win over the population's political preferences, since it would be easier for big money to use it's influence.
It seems, then, by your analysis, that there is no reason for anyone to participate in an effort to correct the situation, since foreign and out-of-state money can buy anyone who is inclined to be bought.
In small-population areas, it is a lot easier for the locals to identify who is being bought and to bring pressure on them.
Hmmm very good point.
Let’s trade them a few blue states we don’t need or want for Alberta. I offer Massachusetts and Oregon.
Could we please include Illinois & CA?!
Great idea...can we build a wall after that?
and virginia.
eff off. I told you the elections have been stolen here for at least 20 years. What part of that do you not understand?
While these things are technically doable, constitutionally, there are so many hurdles that would be impossible to jump. Sadly it’s not just what the people who live there want … both (all?) state legislatures would have to approve and then it would have to be passed by Congress. What are the odds of all of that happening?
You're right of course, David. But here's my hope: we just need the first example to happen. I hope it's ID and Eastern OR, but maybe if Alberta leaves C eh N eh D eh, it will be the first domino?
I've written several times to President Trump, because I know how much he values my opinion (ha!), asking him to get behind the Greater ID Movement.
And my pushback against Salem OR, the ones opposing this, is "look, you're not going to lose in Congress. The smaller OR will still elect two communists to the US Senate. And the conservative representatives that Eastern OR sends to the House will still be going to the House...but from ID. OR might lose a representative or two but Portland doesn't!"
But then there's the money and resources. The lefties hate to admit it but if they are left to live on organic vegetables and wind/solar power, they're going to be hungry, cold, and walking everywhere.
Speaking of MN, and WI for that matter, aren't there like several million deer hunters there?
I'm guessing most of them do NOT live in Mnpls or Madison.
If civil war is coming--and I hope and pray that it is NOT!--it would be good for the blue city soy boys and blue hairs to cogitate on that fact.
Let’s just remove the cheat and stop allowing ie Portland from ruining the entire state. Same for most blue states I believe, One county decides for all? End That, end Blue states.
I love it! Maybe one way is to model reforms after the US Constitution and Bill of Rights. A key principle to those brilliant documents was the rights of minority populations or factions. That's pretty much lost at the State level.
So, what reforms to State Constitutions would get us there? Super-majority requirements for key things the Legislature does to the Red Counties might be a good start. No rules, regs, building/development codes for rural areas that don't apply to large urban areas, although we gotta be careful with that because the response might be "ok, all the stupid stuff Portland imposes on itself now applies Statewide!"
What ideas do you all have for reforming State Constitutions to protect red counties?
But on their own dime. bessent said they are a very independent people so since that is the case, they can find the money and not borrow 500B from us.
Maybe they need the money as a short term loan?
If anyone can negotiate terms for that loan that are favorable to the US it's Trump and Bessent!
Nope. That money should stay in America for us.
What if the smaller red communities join forces to create their own competing large red city? Do the city the way we wish they were done. Grow big enough that it renders the blue cities impotent. Since we can’t take over the blue from within, let’s do a Trump move and create our own!
Oh, interesting idea!
Or maybe the counties should join forces? I wonder how many State Constitutions give power or goodies to counties based on their size (population)?
If that's a thing, then the 13 Eastern OR counties who've signed onto the "Greater Idaho Movement" could decide to become one big county and dwarf the other counties in OR...except maybe for Multnomah (Portland).
Not sure this is the "main game". Not likely to win overall...but maybe it's a step in the right direction?
Yes, except the border is a few miles too east for us! We’re unfortunately lumped into the communist west side 🥲
And Northern California, or maybe Western California…or maybe not urban California…or New New York that’s not New York City…so many examples.
Scott Jennings is the only thing keeping CNN afloat. I love watching him roast these idiot “journalists”. I took a peek at Cameron Kasey’s X page. The ratio is off the hook. He’s getting roasted. A marvelous sight to read. 🤣
Kasky “said that by accident and didn’t mean it”. Twice is not an accident. He did mean it. So now he’s just lying. Hard to believe that X post absolves him from a defamation case.
Another kid that was traumatized by Jennings recently was Dylan Douglas. He is the son of actor Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta Jones.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/media/article-15488961/Dylan-Douglas-Catherine-Zeta-Jones-CNN-nepo-baby-Jennings.html
LMAO!!! Kid, if you can't take the heat, stay out of the kitchen.
" the 26-year-old is not intending to step back from the spotlight, sources said, but he is instead focused on his radio shows on SiriusXM, because he 'wants control, total control.'
'He’s only doing shows where they adore him... He thinks he’s the next Rachel Maddow,' the insider added."
Just like most leftists, they can not defend their ideas/cannons. So, the only way they can exist is if they are the only voice.
LOL. Dylan. These kids are all castrated. Imagine them trying to defend themselves. They would start pulling hair as they have no fists. This Kasky idiot is a democratic socialist like someone else we know in NY. He dropped out of college and was brought up as a theatre kid and in drama class in high school. Seems they perfected his whining and effeminate skillset. He is in his words, queer. Do we need to hear more, I think not.
These leftists cannot debate because all they have are talking points. They do not have their own convictions. They cannot accept the challenge.
but you see the same comment daily on Substack so he was just repeating leftists fantasy
“…there will come a day when experts openly wonder how Europe sucked us into their unimaginably expensive Proxy War in Ukraine— even though it threatened zero U.S. interests. Never forget that they did it through a massive, covid-level propaganda operation— aimed straight at Democrat empathy. Feelings.”
I suggest auditing the investment portfolios of all Dems & rinos that supported the green goblin. It’s amazing where our tax dollars likely ended up. Follow the money!
Yeah you think the Somalians in MN were bad then just imagine how much NATO and Europe has screwed the US taxpayer out of over the fast 80 years.
Or just Black Rock.
Yes, and the Fink-Prince of Odiousness now sits on the WEF's board, in Klaus's old throne.
If it keeps him in the EU, instead of here, he can have it.
Yeah, Ukarine was a huge washing machine for money. I thought, though, US interests were the biolabs we had there and I thought I read something about CIA secret spy "bunkers" near the Russian border? Could all be fake, IDK.
my view is it is all related to democrats obsession with Trump/Russia election conspiracy and payback to Russia for getting Trump elected - amazing how they cling to proven falsehoods like Jan 6 being a coup
imagine everyone forgetting to bring their guns to an insurrection
not to mention the 300 feds at the lead
and the backup pipe bombs, and the prevention of adequate security... so much like the failed Butler Pa setup.
And the FBI caught paying 'sedition hunters' to round up the J6 folks.
But libs are too stupid to link their TDS to the election conspiracy. They just follow the quick soundbites.
That Sandy Hook guy, the damage is done, and I’m sure they didn’t see his retraction.
Alex Jones?
We didn't get sucked in...we started it...the eastward expansion of NATO despite assurances to the contrary...2013/14....Obama and Nuland and their color revolution...
Yeah, Nuland worries me, she has been much too quiet, hoping DJT overlooks her.
Our own state dept set up a puppet govt in Ukraine in 2014. This was the antecedent.
🎯
“Mark my words: there will come a day when experts openly wonder how Europe sucked us into their unimaginably expensive Proxy War in Ukraine— even though it threatened zero U.S. interests”.
Europe sucked us in?? we triggered the Maidan color revolution, we had our 10 secret bio labs, trained, and armed Ukraine. All for the purpose of antagonizing and destabilizing Russia.. This will come back to haunt us.
All Trump has to do is stop sending money, weapons, intelligence, and that war will end in weeks. Then we can restore Faith in the western financial system by returning Russia’s stolen reserves.
Yep. I think that a case could be made that the US sucked Europe into that mess. At a minimum, we did it together.
Simple. All wars are bankers wars$$.
Two words, Burisma and the Bidens.
I believe the quote from Dept. of State Victoria Nuland, as she was plotting the coup and replacement regime with ambassador Geoffrey Pyatt, was "F**k the EU".
Mrs. RW
Thank you for pointing this out. Jeff’s observation surprised me too.
Maybe that’s why they are meeting with the other western hemisphere countries about a new defense, and they intend to make Europe responsible for supporting the Ukraine war so that we can finally turn off our spigot - and then the war will end. Maybe little Z knows that’s the plan and it’s why he was more or less pro-Trump at Davos?
Prayers to all in the path of this storm! Hoping for less ice …❄️❄️❄️
Yes, I see that the ice is bad in western TN right now.
Inbound to the N GA and W NC mountains as I type this. Wonder if I can keep the internet router going with kerosene power when the electric lines come tumblin' down.
My Gmail warned me that your email of this newsletter might not be safe. 🤔
Me too. It also warned me about today's Nickson substack. I find it odd to "warned" about something I have subscribed to for a long time. Google is a source of evil.
Tonya, I think that warning was spot on…. The pink-haired, nose-ringed, gender-bending,low-IQ’d folks might very well have a (real) psychotic break if just one teeny-weeny nugget of Jeff-truth pierces the membrane walling off their god given brain’s truth/logic center. I’m being serious but colorful here…
And you're using gmail... why? (Asking for a friend. There are options that are even free!)
can you list some please
Best option IMHO is protonmail. Many of the same features as Google.
ProtonMail (as noted!) also Thunderbird (Mozilla). Not as familiar with Mailspring and Mailbird, other than that they exist. You might have to put up with ads (as you do with gmail!) for the free version.
Google has done that with ALL of my emails starting this morning. Truly annoying.
Wow. Not surprised though.
Be careful! Hahaha.
Yes you might actually start thinking about things differently and not just parrot the propaganda media 😑 So dangerous!
Gmail everywhere was hacked this morning by a 6th grade girl from her basement lair in Cupertino.
Mine to. First time.
This morning Google is acting completely different in how it handles my email. Apparently, there has been a change in the algorithm.
Good, let them know how we feel. I am not going to be feared into silence. F google.
@Tonya- same

“If Governor Carney thinks he is going to make Canada a ‘Drop Off Port’ for China to send goods and products into the United States, he is sorely mistaken. China will eat Canada alive, completely devour it, including the destruction of their businesses, social fabric, and general way of life,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social on the morning of Jan. 24.
“If Canada makes a deal with China, it will immediately be hit with a 100% Tariff against all Canadian goods and products coming into the U.S.A. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” (Epoch Times)
And so Trump should do just that! I’m reading Sam Cooper’s Wilful Blindness and the China bromance with Canada has been years in the making with many Crime Ministers involved in the coup.
Tariff baby Tariff. Perhaps then Canadians will have the bravado of truckers and do something about it.
It is very unfortunate that too many Canadians still have TDS. Our media, like yours, works with Carney and against the people.
How can Canadians have TDS as they don't even live here? Must be the libtards from the states being the vectors of their communicable disease bringing
it into Canada when visiting. I apologize for that. Ask the CFIA about a procedure to stop that. They are experts on those topics especially after murdering all the ostriches and ruining a family business.
Carney used TDS and his 'elbows up' campaign to scare Canadians into thinking Trump is Bad Orange Man that will take over Canada and make it into a 51st State and it worked. Carney has not let up. He is very closely aligned with DAVOS Elites, One World Government agenda.
Yes, carney belongs in a carnevale as the court jester. He is no elite, that is for sure. And as far as the WEF and Davos, we outnumber them, they know it and that is why they are trying to depop us. This is why we rise up and literally fight for what is good in the world and for our children.
Add The Beaver and the Dragon by Charles Burton to your reading list.
Thanks, already on my list! I hope Trump does something about the Chinese in Canada! You guys are so
fortunate to have a leader like he!
Who are we to tell Canada who they can trade with?
They can trade with anyone they want, obviously. But it doesn’t mean they get unfettered access to US markets if they have a close trading relationship with our biggest competitor.
Why is he penalizing Americans?
The same as he has all year - for prosperity
Yes, our prosperity and I and all I know are doing great. There must be something wrong with you if you are not. Move to Canada. That should do it for you!
Raising prices = prosperity. Got it.
Prices are great where I am. You must live in a libtard state where taxes are high. Too bad so sad for you. I just looked, yes PA. Libtard state. Next.
He is not penalzing. everyone I know is doing superbly.
Canada has been helping China etc to invade the USA with drugs & illegals.
That is the issue.
I never heard of that. What’s your source for that?
Especially Chicago is the distribution center for drugs from Vancouver BC coming from points abroad.
Northern border has been porous.
Canadian economy depends on exporting to USA.
Why would it be Chicago and not Seattle?
Mrs. RW
There’s plenty in Seattle as well.
Not paying attention?
Lol. They can trade with whoever they want, and so can the US...
Trump wants to help everyone. Sovereignty for all nations. However, Carney is outright working against him. Carney is a fool who only cares about his personal investment. He is aligned with the UK and the EU.
If you knew the corruption the Canadian government has perpetuated and encouraged, you wouldn’t ask that question!
We don't have to. But we can tariff them. Always their choice and our choice to tariff.
What so funny is that they wanted to stick it to Elon's electric cars. However, Tesla has a plant in China so he actually made Teslas cheaper for Canadians to buy.
If Canada lets that happen, that is on them. We will play Taps for them upon their demise.
The younger generation is starting to figure it out. Alberta definitely has as they prepare to separate. Quebec is also considering separation. We awaken slowly, and then hopefully, all at once. Fingers crossed.
You don't have the luxury of time. Best you all move faster like the devil is after you which he is.
The trucker freedom convoy is a testament to how a lot of Canadian feel about their overreaching government. The government is the fringe minority!
It was only the truckers standing up. Where were the rest of the Canadians?
They were listening to MSM to their detriment. We have a way of ignoring what is not happening until it is in our own back yard. Conservatives are not used to speaking out. American news, like The New York Times, is not helping Trumps cause or ours. Our Government has still not accepted the COVID farce.
Why would Canadians read that rag? NY sux, everyone knows that. Poor Canada, they are in a malevolent trance. Hopefully the few of you that are normal can save yourselves. Best of luck Vicki to you and yours.
As a Canadian, I grow more despondent each week. The level of hysterical propaganda spewing out of our government funded media is astonishing. As our economy lags behind virtually every other developed nation, large swathes of the population truly believe we are about to be invaded by the US military -- even as they surrender their guns to the Liberal governments latest "buy-back" scheme. We are blessed with abundant natural resources but our bureaucracy makes California look like an efficient and well-oiled machine. I guess we have to hit rock bottom before we learn?
30 million people sitting on massive oil reserves, timber, farming land, minerals and bordering one of the riches countries in the world...how do you screw that up?
Socialism.
🎯🎯🎯
Most depressing, possibly, besides our culture of death with Maid, is cozying up to China
Unfortunately Canada is the perfect example of what happens to a pleasant country when it is ruled by people who genuinely hate the native population. (By native I mean the people who built the country not the Eskimos.) Couple that with a native population that are too "nice" to do anything about it.
Your economy is in the toilet as it was 1) deliberately sabotaged by people attempting to wish liberal green new deal fantasies into reality. That seldom works. And 2) it was structured to exploit the good-will of the US in acting as back door passthrough for foreign goods (legal and illegal) into our country. And unfortunately for Canada our good will is over.
Next, your government actively worked to import millions of foreigners (mostly India Indians) into your country. These people have no stake in Canada, its history, or culture, in fact they openly despise it. They simply see Canada as a vehicle to extract money (again legal and illegal) for their own gain, they are quite literally parasites. This has happened in the US too, but as a percentage of Canada's population the magnitude is mind boggling. And this was done to deliberately replace your country's White, Christian population.
Your government actively destroyed any sense of Christian social cohesion which built the country in the first place. The perfect example is the mass graves hoax which your government deliberately promoted, which falsely portrayed kind-hearted historical Christian charity towards the Eskimos and Indians (not the India type but scalping type), as a psychopathic genocide. Your government actively promoted homosexuality and trans insanity as a social good, while demonizing anyone who objected as evil. They even prosecuted them as hate crimes. Your frootloop former prime minster (the bastard son of Castro) was the poster child for all of this.
And what did Canadians do while all this was happening? Nothing. The population of Canada again quite literally did nothing as objecting wouldn't be seen as "nice". The Americans are loud and obnoxious, and obsessed with their guns, and we don't behave like that in Canada. Well maybe you should have. Aside from the heroic truckers, has their been ANY organized resistance to all of this? Nope, that wouldn't be "nice" and the most important thing in the world for a Canadian is that no one view them as mean.
Seriously, after Trudeau drove the country off a cliff, the country still wouldn't elect the most milktoast, namby-pamby, so-called Conservative around. In fact Poilievre deliberately ran a campaign that pandered to the India Indians, trash-talked Trump, with almost no specifics, and even that was considered too right-wing. Instead you elected a globalist banker from the same party as Trudeau. Lol. Just not serious people.
So this is why Trump is actively decoupling from Canada, your government is evil and the people won't do anything about it. And unfortunately for Canada, it is only going to get worse as Trump is going to punish Canada severely for colluding with China. All of the "nice" Canadians will just have to console themselves with memories from a proud past, such as their participation in WW2 or the last Stanley Cup win in 1993.
Or, the people of Canada can get over their virtue-signaling about how "nice" they are and actually do something to reclaim their country. I don't see it happening.
You are correct about the laurentian elite. The divide is between east and west. Western provinces are more independent and we have massive tax transfers from Alberta to Ottawa and basically finance the country. Albertans are independent and louder than the snobs in the east. Our cultures are very different. You comment is right about the east but increasingly wrong about the west
Bingo.
Canada has also been affected by the same "election fraud" as the US (as well as the more populated smurf energy as we see in red states with blue pop centers) so it does not ALL rest on the Canadian people.
Boom. Canada is now a Welcome doormat for every diseased mindset that man can invent. Step right up folks, Canada is so nice and welcomes you with open arms. And as far a "nice", screw that.
Are you in Alberta? If not maybe you should move there before they become independent.
I had thought the "buy backs" were not going well?
The first step to freedom is to remove the yoke of the British crown. We had to do it 1776 & 1812. Still have to stomp their grasping fingers occasionally. All the immigration & Chinese "investment" allowed/encouraged by Carney is going to sink CA.
I don't blame you. carney is a looney tune. And we are not going to invade canada as no offense, we don't want to even step foot in canada right now. It is diseased. You will get through it but it won't be easy.
Re: Alberta- there are LONG lines to sign the referendum document to become an Independent Alberta, which is wonderful! HOWEVER, I have very little faith that there will be honest elections during the actual voting. Canada will not give up their cash cow so easily.
The election will be rigged like they have been in the past!
All Trump wanted from the Crime Minister was to get the immigration and drug trafficking under control. Is that too much to ask. Unfortunately, Canada/Ottawa might get more than what they never bargained for!
“Crime Minister”— so funny yet so appropriate 😁😆😛
Good to see slime balls like Lemon being gone after, but then I remember, did he actually harm anyone? What about Fauci, Epstein, Butler, Kirk? Where are those investigations going? Nowhere under Bondi. She is utterly worthless. I predicted the Comey case would go nowhere, and I was castigated by all the TDS sufferers here (Trump Deification Syndrome), but once again, I was proven right.
Another distraction while Rome burns that the seals will clap for, while the real crimes of our time go unprosecuted.
Hope springs eternal.
Not for me. I am so tired of it all. We provide indisputable proof of corruption and crime that has ruined lives, TAKEN lives, but the only thing that happens, is that there is another major injustice to take its place, and we move to the next outrage, with the criminals going their merry way, free. Lather, rinse, repeat. Ad nauseum.
Very true.
Hope in one hand and well you know what to do in the other and see which on fills up first.
Is it Bondi that is utterly worthless or is she up against the impossible? Either way, we have seen very little of the accountability we were promised. I don't know. What I do know is I am SICK of hearing how we are going to go after the rampant and pervasive corruption and criminality in this country and yet, NOTHING, but NOTHING happens.
Legal experts who looked at the Comey indictment said it was doomed to fail and go nowhere. So that is either by design, or they are completely inept.
He surely did harm the children in that church…
Reminder that Fauci has an advance pardon, so likely no criminal charges possible
By auto pen, or frealz?
@Jane- that's what's being investigated
States can charge him....
I suspect he also was granted immunity by DARPA a long time ago
I find it interesting that Lemon identifies with being a "man of faith." Hmmm.

Compassion should not be lying to people to make them feel better about their sin, it is telling the truth with love and offer of redemption with change from sin.
Hey hey hey!!!! I agree with Johnny-O. Bondi is useless
You forgot Gates, who was neck deep in the bioweapons research crimes, as well as the "vaccine" crimes.
He was at Davos, on a panel talking about the future biometric IDs that will prove your compliance to the rulers. Why is he walking free, let alone cavorting at Davos, wining and dining and doing other nefarious deeds we know he enjoys?
We know he was an associate of Epstein, admitted and proven with photos and flight logs.
Yet no indictment has been issued???? Even while the Dems make the Epstein files their top priority, spewing out the slogan as if they have Tourette's, at every opportunity.
Why? Why can't the Reps spew back "Bill Gates" every time they hear "Epstein files"?

Lock 'er up?
Republic of Minnesota! Nail on the head Jeff. How about we swap Minnesota for Alberta?
Do they Polka in Alberta?
“People’s” Republic of Minnesota. Remember, all the best communist/socialist collectivist hellholes in the world include the “People” in the name of their delusional republic.
They stack all of the “freedom” words as much as possible. Democratic People’s Republic is a sign that it’s neither democratic, for the people nor a republic (to use Linda Richmond’s format 😆 Tawk amongst yourselves 😆😛).
I love that Jeff just blithely asserts that all other countries are "adversaries"...at least that's how I take this: "Instead, I’m saying that he (and his team) worked up an astonishing plan that was so big, so bold, and so audacious that it took our adversaries completely by surprise".
He's right...even friends can be adversarial. In business, everyone you deal with is a potential adversary. It's the right mindset for Trump 2.0
For those who have never read Whittaker Chamber's book "Witness," it may be the best book ever written about how the Communists work to undermine our country.
Thanks. Will do.
Sounds anti semantic.
