The revelation of this disgusting truth is inevitable, for Americans to be further violently shaken out of their slumber as their country continues to rot around them. We must hold on to beacons of truth like yourself, Donald. Thank you for being more honest than entire legions of corporate news sellouts.

Courageous Lion's avatar

Donald Jeffries has this going against him..

The conditioning is so unfathomably deep that when you wake up, your first enemy is everyone else still asleep.

The moment you start seeing through the lies, speaking truth and rejecting the script, you threaten the illusion they're still clinging to.

They don't see you as free - they see you as dangerous. Not because you are, but because your clarity disturbs their comfort.

Nothing triggers the conditioned mind more than someone who refuses to obey what everyone else was programmed to accept.

Bingo! We had a government telling us the virus doesn't spread in Walmart but it does in churches. We had a government ordering us to shut down all non-essential businesses and the people willingly did so, owners going broke. We had a government telling us to cover our faces with filthy face diapers and we did so and even persecuted those who didn't. We shut down our schools and stunted the development of our children. We had a government telling us to take an untested chemical concoction into our bodies and we accepted that it was safe even though it had not been tested because the government said it was safe. We had millions testing themselves over the sniffles on a test system that was proven to confirm nothing.

Insanity. All of it.

Yes, Timber Wolf, you are spot on correctamundo. The bull shit we experienced during the covid debacle didn't wake up a slumbering giant. All it did is confirm that the people are ripe for destruction or slavery.

Hilarious, yet enlightening commentary. So well thought out. Surprisingly closer to TRUTH than most Maga trump sycophants will accept. Trump was always the pick of AIPAC and he did an outstanding acting job of populism. Trump doesn't deserve a peace prize for his wars, escalations, Genocidal assistance and full embrace of Terrorist Israel. Though he should get an Emmy or Holden globe for his acting. Not that it was difficult to lead low information voters strung out on False patriotism and empty promises.

This quote sums up US politics- "The government consists of a gang of men exactly like you and me. They have, taking one with another, no special talent for the business of government; they have only a talent for getting and holding office. Their principal device to that end is to search out groups who pant and pine for something they can't get and to promise to give it to them. Nine times out of ten that promise is worth nothing. The tenth time is made good by looting A to satisfy B. In other words, government is a broker in pillage, and every election is sort of an advance auction sale of stolen goods.” - H L Mencken

I appreciate that, Just. Mencken was one of the great classical liberals. Thanks!

Now, about this blowing up a boat of drugs and drug smugglers on the high seas. (I don't feel like writing "alleged.") Probably a violation of international law. Big flipping deal. Let the dead villains sue for a breach of their civil rights.

But the strategy was questionable. The movie-like action was probably good for a blip in Trump's popularity; I think most people got a petite thrill when they learned of it.

However, since the drug police were tracking the boat, why not let it continue on its way till it docked and the recipients showed up to claim the cargo? That way the authorities could have rolled up both the crew and, more importantly, the gang who were customers. Smugglers are a dime a dozen -- the distribution network, far more dangerous, should be the prime target.

That's how it was handled a few years ago in a similar situation in England. A known contraband-laden truck was carried across the Channel by ferry. The drug squad let it disembark and take to the road while they kept an eye on it. Once it reached the destination where the exchange deal was to take place they swooped down and bagged everyone involved in the smuggling operation, not just a truck driver.

Donald Jeffries's avatar

Good points, Vegan. Thanks.

Timber Wolf's avatar

Blowing up something that does not represent a Clear and Present Danger is barbaric and reckless. But that is the kind of country we now live in.

Kris's avatar

Everything is fake now. This may have been faked as well.

Timber Wolf's avatar

Quite probably. When are people going to wake the hell up.

The perfect explanation for the circus we see today in both Church and Politics is that our leaders are nothing but action figures with broomsticks stuck up their butt holes so they can be marionetted about their respective stages. People fell for the Gaza false flag. They continue to fall for Ukraine Theatre. It is so sickening to contemplate a battlefield full of soldiers slaying each other to see which group of Satanic Puppets gets to occupy City Hall or the Cop Shop.

What a deluded, blinded world we live in. The tenets of the Gospel are completely lost on them. All they know how to do is indulge their appetites. Both the men and women are fat, disgusting pigs who sodomize each other until they faint dead away. The cops act like thugs anymore but everybody wants this bully power of the state, because otherwise there is a vacuous vacuum.

Faith is Dead. Law is Dead. Charity is Dead. St Paul said that the charity of men would grow cold. We live in a moral ice age.

Cankerpuss's avatar

"When are people going to wake the hell up."

Probably not until they have no food to eat and no natural gas to heat their homes. But then, they'll probably just blame the Republicans.

In the last days the hearts of men would fail them. We are living to see that prophecy.

You sir, are as black pilled as I. I agree with you. We live in a rotten, ruined world. Humanity has reached the apex of its evolution and it is de-evolving.

I was in a take and bake pizza joint the other day. As I waited for the 4 girls behind the counter make my pizza I studied their faces. Each girl had numerous facial piercings. Two girls had the bull ring at the end of their nostrils. One girl had a side nostril piercing and eye brow studs. The other girl had four black studs or beads the size of a pea along her lower lip. One had turquoise hair and of course tattoos abounded. It was a shame because all in all the girls, under their self mutilation, had the features that could be considered attractive. There is no beauty left in this world. It's all ugly.

Humanity does nothing but corrupt everything it touches.

CHUCKY's avatar

Too bad the the British authorities couldn't be as efficient at tracking and bagging the illegal "migrants" flooding into the country.

Vegan Shark's avatar

You've got that right, CHUCKY.

The British border control agency probably could be just as efficient, were it not for politicians subverting them.

JoJoThompson's avatar

I think one of the things that bothered me most about this was the thought that the cargo went overboard and would probably pollute the waters in that area causing harm to marine life.

Cankerpuss's avatar

The ocean is vast. Whatever was in the boat was quickly diluted to nothing. Though, I do see and understand your point.

JoJoThompson's avatar

I agree but can you imagine when it first fell in and began to dissolve in such a large quantity? I can just see the impact on the creatires at that immediate location.

Cankerpuss's avatar

John Kirsch's avatar

I could believe "Trump" is being impersonated.

But, then, I think the "assassination attempts" were faked, especially the one in Butler.

Realist's avatar

"But, then, I think the "assassination attempts" were faked, especially the one in Butler."

Absolutely. As sad as it is, this puts us in the Joy Reid camp.

John Kirsch's avatar

When I was a reporter, the attitude was, if a story sounds too good to be true it probably is and the Butler photo is too good to be true.

Realist's avatar

Agreed. The scene is so easy to create: he dives to the floor, he or his handlers slap some fake blood on his ear and face, he stands up, and shakes his fist in defiance. Presto, he gets ten million more votes.

John Kirsch's avatar

The photo of the bloodied, defiant Trump with the flag behind him had too much of an Iwo Jima look to it.

Inge Hanson's avatar

Yes they were fake to get him into the White House. The second one was even funnier.

As far as Trump being impersonated, there are a couple of theories out there. One is from Q i think that he is already dead and has many doubles. I do not believe in that. Q is too weird and has dragged people along with foolish prophesies for too many years now.

Another one is weird but more understandable when one sees what is going on. The theory is that Trump is still alive and actually shows up in the Oval from time to time, writes nonsense on Truth social. Then there are two other competing forces who both use the Trump brand. One is the positive force of real change, weeding out corruption. The other one is the negative force wanting to continue wars, putting Israel over the USA and creating foreign chaos. Actually that one is more believable because sometimes Trump seems so rational and at other times he is totally nuts or insane ready for the loony bin.

As far as his swollen ankles his bruised hand that is just for show for the media and masses to have something to talk about while other things happen in the background.

Scott's avatar

The office of the president, as well as many other high offices, are too important to the

national security police-state to allow the mere death (or senility) of a figurehead to throw the system into an unplanned chaos. The public really does not know who runs the country. This is Clownworld after all. As long as the public believes that policies are made in the oval office by a recognizable figure, then the public has a

sense of stability and continuity. Perhaps this is the reason for the outlandish personas of our leaders. The Orange-man, the demented Biden shaking hands with

thin air, the affected language used by the leaders, etc... are acts. People can be

very convinced thereby that they are seeing and hearing authentic characters and not

doubt their own eyes and ears. It's sort of like our magic dollar. It holds some value

as long as people still believe it is authentic money, despite the truth that it is cloned trillions of times over. Even the Apollo program has the feel of something wrong going on. With the Artemis program we're supposed to be the first to land on the moon,,, again.

Biden should never have been president. He was awful on every level.

I had hoped Trump would follow his supporters' wishes and kept us out of all the wars but he didn't.

His slavish support of Israel's genocide is a stain we'll never remove.

If you ever had high hopes for either Tulsi Gabber or RFK Junior, you are imbibing some really Strange Brew there, Don. (Or maybe it's the Syrup at IHOP?)

Let's review the top three qualifications to be a politician:

#1. On the Epstein List.

#2. Kissed the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem.

#3. Has at least Two Body Doubles.

The land of yarmulkes and menorahs? That must be Downtown Manhattan. (Then again, does Manhattan have anything other than a DownTown?)

But more seriously, yesterday I was watching the news, and this clueless Public Relations Chick is talking about fusing the State Cops and ICE Operations. Just as I expected. ICE is going to be the vehicle to roll out the Stazis. I suspect that when the Iranian False Flag comes, we will have checkpoints in every city, and people will be required to show proof of citizenship or immigration status. Rolling the Troops into Chicago is to get people used to having soldiers on the streets. Moreover, I saw a picture of banners of Trump hanging from a building. Talk about shades of the Third Reich.

The American Empire is coming apart at the seams, exactly as planned. 9-1-1 was an Icon of the American Empire, among other things, telling us what the Satanic Pederasts plan to do to it. Well, it was fun while it lasted, but twilight is upon us and soon America will look like Germany in 1946. What goes around comes around.

Our Lady of Fatima, pray for us. You are our only hope!

LOYAL AMERICAN UNDERGROUND's avatar

White Timber Wolf, I applaud your ability to maintain the false bravado even when you haven't a leg to stand on.

Seeing as how I read The Holy Bible from cover to cover every year, I had already read Luke 1:46-55 over 30 times. Even so, I just read it again and am now getting back to you, according to your instructions.

Verses 50-55 describe acts and attributes of God our "Father", and they do not pertain to Mary in any way, shape or form. Mary was the vessel chosen by God to give birth to & to raise Jesus Christ, the Messiah, the Savior of the world. Therefore, without doubt, the soul of Mary must be incomprehensibly extraordinary & was uniquely honored by God. I don't dispute a single thing in verses 46-49, however there's not even a *peep* there (or anywhere else in The Bible) about Mary saving mankind, let alone her being mankind's "only hope".

ALL of our hope is in the one true Savior, Jesus.

And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “*ALL* authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth."

~ Matthew 28:18

there is one God and *ONE* Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus

~ 1 Timothy 2:5

"by the name of Jesus Christ ... Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”

~ Acts 4:10-12

at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

~ Phillipians 2:10,11

No mention of Mary there. I personally consider it to be blasphemy when you write that Mary is "our only hope", ascribing to Mary a role that Scripture clearly assigns to Jesus Christ alone.

Way back when I was a "baby Christian" I believed that Catholicism was just one more in the large number of Christian denominations. But as I grew older & wiser, I came to realize that Catholicism is closer to a Feminist cult undergirded by demonic influences.

Now here's your part of the deal, Cuz: Read the following verses and see if you can find the Catholic cult alluded to in them.

"Do not call anyone on earth your father; for One is your Father, He who is in heaven".

(spoken by Jesus Himself)

~ Matthew 23:9

Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron, forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.

~ 1 Timothy 4:1-3

Have a nice day!

"And the angel being come in, said unto her: Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women." St Luke, Chapter 1, Verse 28

"for behold from HENCEforth ALL generations shall call me BLESSED." St Luke Verse 1 Chapter 48.

"Who is she that cometh forth as the morning rising, fair as the moon, bright as the sun, terrible as an army set in array..." Canticle of Solomon, Chapter Six, Verse Nine.

"And a great sign appeared in heaven: A woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars..." Apocalypse, Chapter 12, Verse 1.

"I will put enmities between thee and the woman, and thy seed and her seed: she shall crush thy head, and thou shalt lie in wait for her heel." Genesis, Chapter 2, Verse 15.

Our Lady is in the Bible from cover to cover.

Yes, you are so correct, that we have One Redeemer, Our Lord Jesus Christ, as St Paul Wrote again and again in his epistles. But Our Lord Jesus Christ gave us His Mother to be our advocate with Him at the Foot of the Cross. Our Lord Jesus Christ is Eternal High Priest, and His Sacrifice is Eternal. In a certain sense, His sacrifice is ongoing, occurring even as we speak.

That is not to say that the current Vatican has become the Seat of the Antichrist. Martin Luther got that much right. But the Protestants have turned their churches into rackets just as much as the Catholics at this point.

But Our Lady did come to Fatima, and worked the Greatest Public Miracle since Moses parted the Waters of the Red Sea in 1917, the "Miracle of the Sun" where "The Sun Danced".

Salvation History did not end with the Death of St John the APostle. It continues. Don't be like the Jews of Our Lord's time who did not know the sign of their visitation.

But Our Lord DID create the Catholic Church, which has four marks: One, Holy, Universal, and Apostolic:

"And I say to thee: That thou art Peter; and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." St Matthew, Chapter 16, Verse 18.

He said therefore to them again: Peace be to you. As the Father hath sent me, I also send you. When he had said this, he breathed on them; and he said to them: Receive ye the Holy Ghost. Whose sins you shall forgive, they are forgiven them; and whose sins you shall retain, they are retained. St John, Chapter 20, Verses 21-23.

Is any man sick among you? Let him bring in the priests of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord.

St James Chapter 5, verse 14

All the quotes above are from the Douay Rheims English translation of the Latin Vulgate, which was compiled in Latin by St Jerome from the original sources in the 4th Century, and venerated throughout Christendom for a thousand years, until Luther, Calvin, Zwingli, and Cramner found it deficient and had whole books stricken and other verses mutilated to fit their new theology.

The accurate translation of St Matthew, Chapter 23, Verse 9 is as follows:

"And call none your father upon earth; for one is your father, who is in heaven." And the following verse: "Neither be ye called masters; for one is your master, Christ." So, does this mean Protestant never call their parents Father and Mother and never say "Yes Boss" when told to do something?

Just saying...

LOYAL AMERICAN UNDERGROUND's avatar

After plowing through all of this obfuscation, bibbidi-bobbidi-boo, and the kitchen sink, I feel compelled to remind you that the subject was supposed to be this: Is Mary our savior, "OUR ONLY HOPE"? Sorry, White Timber Wolf, but these cheap tactics to divert the focus didn't work on me.

We're not talking about whether or not...

1. your Lady can be found in both Testaments of The Bible (she can);

2. whether or not Jesus gave us His Mother to be our advocate with Him at the foot of the Cross (He didn't);

3. whether or not the Douay Rheims English translation of The Bible is the most accurate (it isn't);

4. whether or not Protestants and Catholics have turned their churches into rackets (they have);

5. and whether or not your Lady performed a miracle at Fatima in 1917 (similar genuine supernatural acts and Marian apparitions occurring in Garabandal turned out to be a dark deception, even deceiving Pop Pio, so you can color me highly skeptical about Fatima, too).

It was a simple question, really: Is Mary "OUR ONLY HOPE"? (And, if not, why do you continually write such blasphemy?)

I could expound on the topics of Peter's (Kepa's) demeaning nickname & the "cornerstone" of Christ's church; also, about the word "Father" (which the Feminist Catholic cult flagrantly misuses), but they are not germane to the original dispute and I have already wasted too much time here.

The bottom line is that you have not provided so much as a single thread of evidence supporting your assertion that Mary is "OUR ONLY HOPE", therefore, this conversation is now officially closed.

Goodbye, Farewell and Amen.

Brian Wirth's avatar

I don't know why anybody except the hardcore MAGA crowd could expect anything out of Trump. I never believed anything he said because he was always a blowhard from way back. So I've never been disappointed. There were only two things I hoped he would do if he beat Cackula and he did one of them; pardon the 1/6ers (well most of them anyway). The other was to prosecute Fauci. Not holding my breath on that one. Otherwise, move on. Why?

Because Don, you wrote an essay on Jan 20 2021 titled "Storming into America 3.0" where you stated, "Donald Trump's legacy will ultimately be that he forever destroyed any chances of a real Third Party ever rising in this country." So there you go. You were right, Don. America 2.0 is gone.

It all gets ever more darkly comic as the Empire’s end game stretches out in what appears to be an interminable fashion. And the Trumpinator is a perfect figure to decorate these times, when reason and sobriety have completely vanished from the national drama. Monty Python could do no better. The real question is how long can things go on like this? Is the Fat Lady about to puke?

In any event, it appears that the microplastic plague is now killing off ocean plankton, which has traditionally supplied about 70% of the world’s oxygen. Following in the footsteps of St. George Floyd, we’ll all soon be declaring “I can’t breathe”. Solidarity at last.

For some reason all that the "powers that be" do is destroy our beautiful incalculably rare

The never-ending and constantly expanding space-launch programs is another. There is never one single peep about environmental impacts from the rocket launches and atmospheric burn ups. Amazingly the brute mass of the public can only see 'rocketry' as 'progress'. The war machine dropping bombs is similar but even more Satanic.

Caesar, if Countess Cackula had won, you can bet I would have devoted several articles to her. I wrote about her during the campaign. I don't subscribe to the two party false "choice." On the surface, the Republicans look more reasonable because the "Woke" Democrats are absolutely insane on cultural issues. But look at Israel. The Democrats are the ones who are protesting the genocide. And now, with Trump irrationally ranting about the Epstein list being a "hoax," the Democrats are the ones who are for transparency and disclosure there. There are only token good guys in the two party duopoly. Thanks.

Don, I always comment that similar age and geographic location make you a soulmate.

While the present events that seem to roll out each and every day have caused me to grow more wearied of Trump, I'm still cheering for a rabbit to be pulled from the hat. A real rabbit, not a very very really big beautiful fake rabbit, but a real rabbit.

You point out his childish manner of speech/that has bothered me from his arrival on the scene. It's maddingly irritating/I expect it in children as they develop in their language skills but a man who is senior in age even to me shouldn't sound like Judy Viorst in "Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day" . Even worse is the cheering congress of baboons including cabinet members and pundits who repeat his "big beautiful" whatever adjectives.

But, like you, I want something to be in the offing that will make us all say "Brilliant! Stupendous! Finally! Game well played!". Not because I love Donald Trump but because I honestly do love what America was supposed to be/what it is supposed to be. I'm no longer a bright-eyed little girl at Fairview Elementary School on Ox Road but I still have that part of me who poured through Childhood of Famous American books and dedicated myself to be at least half as impactful as they were.

A strand of hope is there for that reason. I don't think you will completely give up on the Trumpenstein project because we do share that generational/educational glimmer that never totally gives up on anyone. Which is also why I find you one of the few palatable people to listen to regularly; to anxiously await your weekly substack. I know there will be a pony beneath the manure that is spread all over the internet.

With that said, I have for a long time now abandoned most every podcast that I formerly scheduled my life around. Having been a ditto head before I even knew who Rush was, I graduated from the radio talk shows to the more insightful daily shows that broadcast throughout the week on platforms like Rumble. Over the past several years, my loyalty there has diminished as I have listened to the exact same topics beaten to death with a cultic following by chat members who then spin off and start adoring broadcasts and invite each other to appear on each other's "shows". The common thread is repeating how awful Trump is and how noble one is and for never voting. No hope, no answers, just spending the entire day and evening jumping to each others shows and stroking each other for how "with it" they are.

So, thank you for the glimmer. The hope that perhaps we boomers were born into. After all, we had just won the big war. Good guys and bad guys were easy to define. TV went off the air at midnight. Cubby and Karen were always cute and Darlene pretty. We had the Wonderful World of Disney and all was right with the world.

Donald Jeffries's avatar

Wow. That was a remarkable comment, Mia. You really have your finger on the pulse. We do sound like soulmates. I know where Fairview Elementary is.

kofi moseley's avatar

I always understood that America had a problematic past (genocide, slavery) but was always hopeful that America would somehow make everything from the past right, like a Hollywood ending. I used to actually believe that was the goal of government and politicians. Now I know better. Now I know that government itself is, and always will be, the obstacle to that, just like I know that the most culpable party for slavery is the international banks, who first conceived of it, and then funded it. CNBC admitted that about Lehman Brothers when the decision was made to let it go under. Only self-rule will allow for good and righteousness to prevail. With government, evil rules and goodness and truth do not stand a chance.

Al DuClur's avatar

"It’s almost as if Trump is an actor, hired to play the part of a fake populist rebel."

That is true of almost all politicians in a democracy. I keep being drawn back to that Cambridge study that looked at 100 years of American politics. They found that public opinion played no role in the priorities of the government. The only thing that mattered was the priorities of the top 1 percent. Another group of researchers carried out the same study in countries like the Netherlands which are considered more egalitarian expecting to find more importance given to public opinion. Nope. Only the views of the 1 percent matter.

Given our 1 percent are disproportionately Jewish and the donors are predominantly Jewish you get the state of our current politics.

Trump throws a monkey wrench into the mix because he wants to be the man but can't be the man so we get this clown show. We have to keep reminding ourselves that the last president to pose a major threat to any of this was Kennedy and we know what happened to him.

No, you're right, it's over. The federal troops are being put in place in major cities and ICE is being expanded into a domestic control force for a reason. The reason every federal agency armed itself and bought those 1.1 billion rounds of hollow point ammo back in 2014, and IRS agencies closed to the public and new federal buildings started being built with noticeable defensive features, like moats or heavy concrete planters surrounding them, is also now coming into view. Trump is also said to be mulling declaring a "housing emergency" this fall.

Federal troops are in place in all the major cities because a major component of the great reset will be imposed this fall or winter. Untenable inflation from the impending Fed rate cut for Wall Street, the imposition of digital currency and possibly a "world war" are all likely possibilities. Also, car companies intend to announce they are going all rental sometime soon. The time has come to implement "you will own nothing and be happy" because financial system collapse is imminent, and will be hastened by the final round of moneyprinting that the billionaires demand.

Not exactly what he campaigned on, Kofi. Thanks!

Get ready for a false-flag or several this autumn!!

The "correct response" will be to ignore as just that, a false-flag, and ignore ANY directives that the Feds launch!!

They'll probably fire up the DEWs and HAARP and pose an "every thousand year" climate catastrophe with back-to-back "every thousand year" occurrences, just like the psyop "pandemic" was a "once in a century" occurrence, ready to occur again, just years later. Kinda like the relate cancer rates spiking following certain Injections.

The problem is, will enough of us ignore it, 37? Thanks.

Agree! I have little faith. Most people, including the self-proclaimed "awake," care more about their money/wealth/investments/etc. than they do about their own and their progeny's liberty.
