A blessed new year to my C&C family. β€οΈπŸ€πŸ’™πŸ™πŸ»

While hubs and I were watching a Netflix series (The Recruit which actually portrays the CIA as the ruthless criminals they are) we saw the following NBC β€œNews” ad (60 seconds):

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=OsUqvHpsuvc

My first thought was, we’re being punked. They’ve got to be joking.

Feel free to give it a thumbs down and pile on to the comment I posted:

β€œNBC - you are complicit in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Americans. You censored the truth about effective early treatments for Covid and about the harms from the Covid shots. You will NEVER gain back trust. This ad shows your pathetic desperation. Main stream media is on its deathbed. There is no saving it.”

Let me make myself perfectly clear🀣 I do not watch the main stream media mob garbage. I am a faithful watcher of Real America’s Voice. Steve Bannons War Room. The first few minutes of Steve’s show (the cold open) he plays like 3 1/2 painful min of the mocking birds squawking their propaganda. I turn down the volume instead of throwing a big rock through the screen.

😁 There is actually a story behind my severing ties with TV. I had some news on in the background one day, and turned it off. My two cats visibly relaxed. So I turned the TV back on. You could just feel the tension in the room. Fascinating. On off. Tension up, tension down. That sealed the deal for me vis a vis my TV watching habits.

ANY jew that embraces "Zionism", or "Greater Israel" or refuses to totally condemn the vile offal in the "Talmud"... to me is a slimy POS... and an enemy.

Virtually no current Israeli jews have any genetic ties to the Hebrews of biblical times... but Palestinians DO. Current jews in Israel are a mix of deformed Euro-trash and Kazarian filth.

IMHO, Zionists are a cancer on this world that needs to be fully eradicated... and if those scumbags attack Iran again... it might well happen... and the world can celebrate! Maybe their super-high Covid vaxx rate will help...

OF course, personally... my opinions on this are pretty mild... ;-)

I totally believe all of this is 'blessed' by our "supreme snoops" agencies - and many of those agencies are infiltrated by spies from OTHER countries. I don't know if you remember an "ancient" (from the 1960's) TV series titled "The Third Man" (Michael Rennie was the star). I really enjoyed that series and it was about "spy agencies" - but it was circumspect and intelligent (at least to my 16 year old brain).

I also note that the adverts on "streaming video" platforms are predominantly featuring "people of color" or "gays" - have you noticed that, Willing?

The only appropriate response to that NBC plug is a big horse laugh. Unless, of course, they are planning an abrupt about face and are committed to fair and balanced reporting in 2026 which we know is impossible even for conservative outlets. It's time to pass a law requiring all media outlets and even social media venues to declare themselves either left leaning, right leaning or neutral and if they claim they are neutral, to immediately dismiss them as self-admitted deceivers.

As most of us have mixed feelings about DOGE (we love what they did, but wish they had accomplished more), it appears citizen journalists (journalists) have taken up the mantle.

Totally. Some yesterday were saying the FIB had been on this well before Nick Shirley. Yet Nick simply looked into the first daycare in the listing for that city and nothing had been done to them and they clearly we're involved in a law suit by the Gov.

So I doubt the FIB would have done much if the youtubers hadn't exposed their lack of urgency.

Nick is following up on an older man's work, who probably had no idea how to post any of his findings. He started going to day cares five years ago and asking if he could bring his grandson. So this is to me, a wonderful collaboration between the older doing the footwork, and then the younger helping to expose it via social media and the like. As it should be.

β€œβ€¦but wish they had accomplished more” The ONLY reason they didn’t is because they were blocked by our Congress. It is NOT their fault that they couldn’t accomplish more.

Happy New Year Everyone!!

So many subjects wanted to focus on China Tariffs.

Fair Trade, Was Never Fair

Whenever I discuss tariffs especially China tariffs with Trump haters I can’t help but ask, why do we in the United States want to trade with communist China after what they did to us regarding Covid? Really, objectively, this is a country that released a biological weapon, a manufactured, fabricated super virus produced in a lab in Wuhan, and they released it upon the entire world deliberately. They knowingly flew infected people all around the world resulting in millions of people dying. They lied about it. Xi Jinping the communist strong man, that butcher, that slave holder, systematically covered it up and didn’t bat an eye as he knowingly allowed infected people to fly out of Beijing and Shang Hai, into Australia, Europe, America, and they spread that virus all over the world. Then to add insult to injury they tried to maximize profit, money, take economic advantage, because they sold us and the world masks, PPE, and pharmaceuticals. So why would we want to trade with them. I’ll tell you why, because we had a president that was completely compromised, he was on the take. A media that was compromised, they were on the take. They lied to us. The FBI lied, our intelligence agencies lied, the CIA lied, the NSA lied., they all knew it came from that lab in Wuhan. Our own government was implicated in it, led by Obama, Fauci and his boss Francis Collins. We funded it, we supported it. We aided and abetted in this crime.

So honestly 125 % isn’t nearly enough, 500% isn’t enough for causing the spread of this death and destruction. Nothing against the Chinese people, they are good hard working people, but this Chinese government, this brutal communists regime in Beijing needs to be bankrupted and they need to collapse just like the old Soviet Union. This is Trumps clear end game and God bless him. Let’s once and for all disconnect from the communist butcher, Xi Jinping. J.Goodrich

I have a friend who was in the Hong Kong airport on Jan. 1, 2020.

He said that the airport was announcing that the Chinese government had identified a new virus, and was advising people to take precautions. The announcement was in Chinese and English.

They didn't lie about it. They reported it to the WHO at the same time.

Americans, on the other hand, were told that "vaping" was killing young men in the summer of 2019, when the virus first spread in the US. They had coffee ground lungs, same as covid patients the next year. Coincidence? I think not.

I believe that Ralph Baric at the University of North Carolina (still there), who was working on bioweaponized viruses, was involved in the development of SARS 2, along with Ft. Dietrick, which was closed down for a while in the summer of 2019 for unspecified reasons, are where the bioengineered virus was spread, although the original virus did come from China, via the Bat Lady, who worked with Baric.

The nerve of them telling us that this was a "novel" virus, never before seen by humans, when the very name SARS TWO(!) made it clear that this was not a brand new virus.

They flew people all over the world knowing they were infected, look at Italy where they do a lot of business, Italy was devastated. They denied it came from the lab in Wuhan. They cleaned the lab and got rid of all paperwork about what they were doing there. They wouldn’t let anyone in there to inspect. They closed all flights from China into Beijing where they live. It’s funny I said American institutions lied about it. I said America is implicated in the virus, but some people just want to bash everyone, amazing and typical all in one! You didn’t say China took any responsibility for the virus at all, you just said they told people there was a virus going around, Ok.

All year I β€˜ve been reading about mind control. A lot of Cathey O’brian, Operation Paperclip, MK Ultra, Project Monarch, etc. and the Bourbon St and Vegas incidents have mind control written all over them.

Is a Sharpie a traditional pen? I suggest that it wasn't one THEN, but it is NOW! Thanks, President Trump!

Thank you for this!! Due to heavy duty life shit (my mom died in November, the stroke was in January) I didn't manage to keep up with much news. I appreciate the round up, done in your own inimitable style :D

Thinking of you as you go into the New Year without your Mom. The loss of a mom is agonal and we are never the same. They are who we have known longest on earth plus 9 months in the womb. May 2026 bring you peace and comfort knowing she is with the Lord and waits for you someday further on in Paradise. Godspeed DD.

Wow I’m breathless after reading today’s recap. 🀣

Is it only me, or is there a LOT of unfinished business from this year in regards to government corruption?

Too few indictments. Not enough arrests. No convictions. Zero public executions. I can dream, can't I?

You want that brute force approach. In younger years I did too. I can be more patient in my old age and know that β€˜revenge is a dish best served cold.’

None of us live very long, and nobody is getting away with anything.

I will offer my free services to help with public executions of those most malevolent and those who perpetrated covid/jab on us. It would be an honor.

Thank you Jeff for providing us with another year of news and commentary done in a fashion that informs, excites, and amuses those of us without thin skins.

You, my Florida friend, are truly a breath of fresh air.
