Dear MAGA: Open Topic 20190105

This special RISE AND FALL OF THE OBAMA-JARRETT WALL SATURDAY open thread is VERY OPEN – a place for everybody to post whatever they feel they would like to tell the White Hats, and the rest of the MAGA world.

Say what you want, comment on what other people said, comment on people’s comments.  Keep it civil.  Treehouse rules, but expect lots of QAnon.


Remember – your greatest gift to President Trump is FIVE WORDS:

I AM PRAYING FOR YOU


See the January 1st daily thread for the rules of the road, which are few but important.


As our WALL is risen, let the enemy walls fall into uselessness by greater design.

16 It is better to be godly and have little
than to be evil and rich.
17 For the strength of the wicked will be shattered,
but the Lord takes care of the godly.
18 Day by day the Lord takes care of the innocent,
and they will receive an inheritance that lasts forever.
19 They will not be disgraced in hard times;
even in famine they will have more than enough.
20 But the wicked will die.
The Lord’s enemies are like flowers in a field—
they will disappear like smoke.
Psalm 37:16-20

Things are really starting to get good now.
I have a very good feeling about this!

Tonawanda

TY, T3!

Gudthots

That second line is a quote from the Star Wars prequel, SOLO, if you were wondering…

As my wife says: “Wondering minds want to know”

TTT, Exquisite Bird of Paradise flower, Love it!!

I get my photos from Pexels.com because (1) they have stunning photos, (2) they have a generous open licensing policy. The photographers are looking to get their work out there and I’m doing my little part I guess. Attribution is the the general site, but you can use the keyword search to find the artists.

Gudthots

Been doing a lot of dreaming in the new year as well.
Those, sorting things out and seeing things more clearly type dreams.
This morning’s was a tsunami, lost old truck, beach bar, searching.
Not as strange as some I’ve had.

singularZoe

Well, TTT, don’t feel too bad, I have a recurring one, sometimes wakeing, that Nancy Palosi is president. (Gag).

Sue Mcdonald

I have been sick so my dream last night could have been fever induced ,I dreamt I was living a normal life what that means I am not sure but the dream was nice as I was not worried about bad actors trying to kill us all off or nuke the country. I do have hope that my grandkids are afforded a nice normal country when I shuffle of this mortal coil.

pgroup

Sue, that sounds like you’ve got a fever worthy of the ER. Dreaming about a normal life indicates quite an illness.

Gudthots

Oh, and let’s pray for MOAR revelation, wisdom, understanding, clarity of focus!

Sylvia Avery

I decided I needed to begin including QTreepers in my prayers, too, that we may be useful in implementing MAGA.

singularZoe

Good idea, Sylvia. I’m marooned in Illinois and would appreciate prayers. I do pray for our q treepers through the day. We need each other.

Sylvia Avery

Sending up a prayer right now.

singularZoe

Means a lot, Sylvia.

michaelh

Sylvia, please keep me and my family in prayer. There’s always spiritual warfare in progress.
Also prayer for clear direction on some new opportunities.
Thanks in advance!

Sylvia Avery

Praying now.

Hi Wheatie!
I wanted to make sure you saw this. Not sure if you want to respond, but this person has a WordPress page of their own with a contact page. From OT:
“zorrorides says:
January 5, 2019 at 4:16 am
Hi Big Mama, from down Norman way… Say, have you heard from wheatietoo ? Is OK?
There has to be an public alignment between PTrump and the TEAs for 2020. We need to agree on a simple platform (Trump and us) such as, ‘Complete The WALL Immediately’ and, ‘Stop All Election Fraud’. On his end PTrump says he supports the candidate who votes for the platform, and we provide the primary candidate and fund without a penny to the RNCC.
It’s 2020. We can see clearly now.”
His blog address is https://zorrorides.wordpress.com/.
I don’t really know much about the poster, so sorry if this isn’t something you needed to see.

wheatietoo

Thanks, Aubergine. 🙂

I awoke a short while ago from a dream where I was staying at a small resort in a rural setting. The resort was on a small lake, and in an area without trees.
I decided to do some fishing. Rather than fish at the resort where there were docks, I decided to walk around to the far side of the lake where I thought the fishing would be better and to cast lures from the shore. It started out as good open water, but quickly grew shallower and very weedy, almost swamp-like. Nothing I could fish.
The next scene found me back at the resort walking down a hallway. I had a ‘wardrobe malfunction’ with the shorts I was wearing, and stepped into a nearby room to make an adjustment. In the room was a bed with an open book lying on it titled, “The Cornhuskers”.
That’s when I woke. When I got up, I did an online search and found that Carl Sandburg had written a book of poems by that name. I don’t recall ever knowing about it.
Yes, very strange…

itswoot

I remember reading in an autobiography by John Hall Wheelock, who played a major part in the publishing business in the 1920’s through the 50’s, where he said that the authors were for the most part socialists and communists. Many of them household names.

singularZoe

That is very true, just as they are nowadays.

NebraskaFilly

Well, “Cornhuskers” certainly got my attention. First and foremost, I am NOT well read in any classics at all – um, pretty much NONE! I am an avid reader, don’t get me wrong, but I quit school at the beginning of my senior year so……beyond the basic reading, writing, arithmetic, I am self-educated. In any case, WE here in NE are “The Cornhuskers!” So, I discovered the section of the book covering that subject are poems about prairie life.
Found this comment from a reader from 2008: “This is honest, hard working, down to earth poetry. He celebrates the ordinary working people, and the lyricism and the rhythm swing to an industrial, instead of post-industrial beat. Some poems i love, some I don’t like, but I learn from all of them. Some of the shorter satires are beautiful and devastating. It makes a nice, short break from the rest of life.”

Gudthots

Over the years I’ve learned that dream symbolism is highly personal. For example if there is a dog in one person’s dream it would be associated with friendliness, companionship, and so on. If a different person that is afraid of dogs dreams of a dog, it would be associated with danger, alertness and warning. Study the person to study the dream.

I think I should already know what CA3 is, but decided to go looking. Happened across this blog (which is probably not what you are talking about) which about broke my heart:

Wow, got back from two weeks house sitting in the city to my closed up mouldy rainforest house after a metre of rain, spent a few days triage cleaning up etc and find so many posts I don’t know where to start!
You are on are roll Wolfmoon and if this is any indication of how the year will roll we are in for a ride.
I just know the plan is going well, what an incredible genius PT is, I feel there is something in the air, am stocked up in popping corn and more rain is coming. Let the show begin!!! (I’ll be watching inbetween scrubbing walls).

BTW, I was wondering if “House of Saddam” was a pun, depending on how you pronounce his name?

Oh that’s right…ValJar moved into HusseinO’s place, didn’t she.
Which is weird.
I saw a tweet today that said O makes the Secret Service cordon off that whole street.
That’s not right.
If HusseinO wanted that kind of seclusion…he should’ve picked a rural location.
I wonder what evil she is cooking up these days.comment image

And she truly is evil.comment image

ValJar is one of the ones who was really pushing all this “gender identity” crap.
I hope there is one of those sealed indictments with her name on it!
You can bet that her fingerprints were all over SpyGate.

I would add the Vegas massacre to that list, too.

wheatietoo

SEIU…they are big in Vegas.
That hispanic security guard was SEIU.
Those were SEIU thugs that swooped in and took over his life…was that whole thing weird or what.
Paddock-the-patsy’s girlfriend is SEIU.
He was basically part of the whole SEIU family since he spent so much time in the hotels/casinos.
And the SEIU doesn’t even try to hide their affiliation with the Dem party.

Heck, SEIU pimps out their membership as foot soldiers for the Dims. They were antifa before there was antifa.
I swear I think there was something in all the info that came out about Bob Creamer and his dirty tricks brigade about coordinating with SEIU.

“They were antifa before there was antifa.”

And yeah, I seem to recall a connection between Bob Creamer and SEIU, too.
Yes, the SEIU is like an extension of the DNC.
I think the Vegas massacre was a ‘warning’ to PTrump:
“Back off on the wall or we will target your supporters.”
The SEIU likes illegals.
They sign them up as soon as they get here.
They can’t be happy with ICE’s new aggressive policy of rounding up illegals for deportations, either.

Sylvia Avery

Obviously, I have no information or proof. All I have is my gut. And my gut has told me from the very beginning that something is way, way off with the Las Vegas massacre. I know I am not alone in this.
I hate it that I have nothing to back it up, but I know it was somehow a warning to PDJT and his supporters. I can feel it, I can see it, I know it on some level of residual instinct that warns us of danger.

wheatietoo

Wolfie…there are SEIU operatives all over hospitals.
The orderlies, the cafeteria, maintenance…and security…are all SEIU.

wheatietoo

Aww…lookie there, the Las Vegas SEIU makes it so easy for their members to vote.
They go to all the trouble to make these lists of their endorsements, so the members don’t even have to think about it:

And then they bus them to the polls.
Even if they live in California and vote in Nevada. They go all in.

And of course, they’re all Democrats.

I spent several months on YouTube watching all the Sandy Hook videos. I started watching out of curiosity, to find out what it was about, and the weirdness/oddity of the whole event kept me going. Many strange aspects of the case concern the way things were done. For instance, (IIRC), death certificates have been a long time part of American public records, open for any citizen to see. But the DemoKKKrats passed a highly unusual law in Connecticut making them secret, close in time before the event.
The parents were not allowed to see their children, but had to identify them from photographs. The behavior and the language of the parents was weird. There were many dry tears, always a sign of phoniness. Someone produced an amazing video contrasting the demeanor and poignant reaction of TOTAL STRANGERS who were at Sandy Hook, versus the odd behavior of the parents.
It goes on and on.
The parents sued Alex Jones for defamation just recently (within the past year), and the suit was reported by communist venues, for instance CNN:
https://www.cnn.com/2018/05/23/us/alex-jones-sandy-hook-suit/index.html
The lawsuit apparently came at the time the left was seeking to shut up Jones. I would be very interested to see what judges preside over the cases (the cases were filed in April and August of 2018).
Jones has been knocked back on his heels, judging by his response. But if he can afford, he could use discovery to get to the bottom of things.
But I suspect we will see a situation like Mann v Steyn, where lawfare lasts indefinitely and inconclusively as a means to shut someone up.

thetinfoilhatsociety

WM, what’s CA3?

TatonkaWoman

Thanks for asking. My ? too.

Tonawanda

Part of the phoniness in the fabricated reaction to Roseanne was the obvious fact that Jarrett does look like a monkey, and specifically that monkey. George Bush looks like a monkey, specifically Curious George, and the left had no problem calling him a monkey “humorously” every day for years.
Many if not most human beings look like some animal. Did the left ever see the photos of people paired with their pet dogs, looking like twins and NOT intentionally?
Trump just happens to look like a lion. Ha, ha!

Ain’t nothing civil about the Marxist/Prog Leftists.
During the 2018 Election season alone – there were 639 documented Democrat media and politician approved/incited acts of violence and harassment against Trump/family/staff/supporters and other conservatives.
John Nolte listed them: https://www.breitbart.com/the-media/2018/07/05/rap-sheet-acts-of-media-approved-violence-and-harassment-against-trump-supporters/
The violence and harassment was organized from Kalorama by Obama and Jarrett.

The violence and harrassment was encouraged by Waters, Booker and others.
And it was perpetrated by trained activists/agitators.

These are $0r0$ and Øbama’s army.
It will likely be worse during the 2019-2020 presidential election season! Get ready.

A Fortiori (@AFortiori16)

Hussein left office with a massive war chest ($130 million sticks in my head buy I was unable to verify this promptly); the idea that he is not still doing his Chicago communist organizing stuff is laughable.

Yep, gird your loins, me buckos! I would guess pretty much ALL of the unions are involved at some level. Add in PP, which now has its paws deeply into the Girl Scouts, and all of the other wackadoodles out there… yea, methinks it is going to be a wild ride!

With another ‘caravan’ making it’s way northward, the Dems have added to the Emergency at the Border.

.
The longer the Shutdown goes on…the more it gives Pres Trump the perfect reason to whittle down the size of the Federal Govt.
I’m just waiting for our VSG Potus to start pondering this on twitter.
Something like…
“We’re starting to see that the Fed Govt can operate with a lot fewer people.”
It could be epic.
No need to say “you’re fired” to anyone.
Just send out notices saying…’No need to come back to work. Your job no longer exists.’
When the Dems realize what they’ve done, there will be massive deer-in-the-headlights looks, all over DC.

Normally I would say “from your lips to God’s ears” but in this particular case I say From your lips to Trump’s ears!

GA/FL

Words…. their weakness fear is showing….they are cracking, caving, falling into their own traps.

Trump is a master of patience….baiting the Democrats and RINO globalists until they expose their motives and schemes… and giving them enough rope to hang themselves.
There will be no impeachment.
Trump WILL build the wall.

Amazing how it sounds like toddlers having a tantrum.

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

Steel could be cut through more readily with grinders, etc., so concrete does have SOME advantages over steel.
What might be near ideal is a wall of steel pipes, oh, say 4 inches across, filled with concrete. That would be a variant of the sort of barriers many stores put in front of their front doors to prevent ramming by vehicles.

Cuppa Covfefe

What was that novelty song from the early 1960s… “Sittin’ on a Lally, waitin’ for my Dally, ah oom (cha cha, cha cha) ah oom (cha cha, cha, cha). It may sound funny but I don’t think she’ll be running, ah ah oom…
[Sittin on the la la was the original song, many, MANY years ago]

michaelh

“That would be a variant of the sort of barriers many stores put in front of their front doors to prevent ramming by vehicles.”
They’re called “bollards” in the PhySec world, and yes in the briefing videos I’ve watched including the ones Flep posted they refer to them as “bollards”.

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

So, I’ve heard many wall/fence sections referred to as “bollards.” Does that mean they’re filled with concrete?

michaelh

I don’t want to say for sure how they are building them. But on the videos I watched it was clear from the border agent they are meant to be effective against vehicles.

TheseTruths

I remember once during the campaign when a little boy (I think) asked Trump what the wall would be made of, and he said concrete. So that’s it, then. If there’s one inch of wall from a different material, he broke his word, according to the mindless Left.
Pres. Trump has also explained many times the various avenues for funding the wall. So the reporter either hasn’t been paying attention or she’s too inept to put two and two together, or she’s trying to influence people’s thought. I wonder which one it is…

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

Gosh, I have NO IDEA…

Cuppa Covfefe

Again, the DEMONcRATs prove that they either smoked dope or slept through science classes (was going to say physics, but I doubt they’d have made the cut).
There’s a reason it’s called “Steel-reinforced concrete” rahter than “concrete-reinforced steel”… And why “rebar” (reinforcing bar(s)) is made from steel…
Geesh. Compressive strength, tensile strength, shear strength… but of course they are so “in tune” with tech they can tell us which cars are more efficient, which heat/power/lighting source is best, etc. etc. Their hubris is only exceeded by their vanity…

michaelh

If they keep arguing about it, just build a square box say 8 foot by 8 foot made out of the same material as the wall, and allow them ample time to examine the structural effectiveness from the inside.

IMO, it is mostly that the mid-terms are over AND RINO Ryan is gone – TBH, tho, McCarthy isn’t a whole lot better….so far, so good but I am expecting that one to cave……

Scalise’s remarks in the Rose Garden were also great.

Tonawanda

Was it the loss of Ryan, or was it the loss of the majority, so they can go back to making meaningless noises?

Sylvia Avery

I bundled up in my new parka and gloves and took the dog out yesterday for a long walk. Dog-walking time is a perfect chance for me, under the open sky with the trumpeter swans honking and the smell of damp evergreens, to pray. And sometimes the quiet works its magic and my mind will clear of clutter, and then sometimes God talks to me, too. Yesterday was one of those times.
We are at war, aren’t we? I don’t mean that as hyperbole or as a metaphor, I actually mean a real war. I’m not sure when I realized it. Not until some time after PDJT was inaugurated, I think. And my realization came on gradually, most likely accelerated by Q drops. I have used the language of war in talking about promoting the MAGA agenda but at some point along the way that shifted from the metaphorical to the real deal.
It’s a strange sort of war. It’s kind of a crazy combination of a Civil War, a World War, and a Revolution, I guess. The enemies are foreign and domestic. The fields of battle seem to be information, cyber, and financial manipulations of various kinds, but I do believe a very strong argument can be made that the southern US border is now a major front. Key warriors seem to be the intelligence community (how I hate that expression). It is a Cold War rather than a hot, shooting war. For the most part. So far. Except perhaps for some oddly inexplicable mass shooting events.
Because this is such an unusual war, so very covert, and because our free press was stolen from us long ago it is difficult to get real info about what is going on. It also makes it easy to ignore or deny that there is a war or to question one’s assumptions as I have been.
Yesterday, NYGuy wrote this:
“…we are fighting an asymmetrical war with an unscrupulous opponent. We are the last hope for this world and they are trying to surround us.The typical excitement over great economic results will not be good enough, by itself, for us to win. This is a battle for our minds. It’s war. But a different kind of war. POTUS gets most of it. Do we? “
I agree, I believe PDJT knows. But I’m not sure I get it. Not really. It seems to me the best way to address a problem is to define it, but I don’t know how to conceptualize this war, how to explain it or understand it. How can I talk to others about it if I don’t get it?
So fellow patriots, am I correct that we at war, or do I need to unplug for a few months and watch Gilligan’s Island reruns instead?

Sylvia Avery

Ugh, sorry that’s so long. I intended to delete the fluff but hit send without thinking. Sorry sorry sorry.

Brave and Free

Sylvia, totally agree with you. This is a spiritual war that’s taking place through out the world.

Sylvia Avery

When I first began thinking of this as a cold civil war I was really only somewhat aware of the foreign angle or global reach, I guess you could say. I was very suspicious of China because I’d never forgotten the Clinton’s selling us out and as a Cold War baby of course I was suspicious of the Russians, but I still thought of Europe as our allies. Not so much any more.
It just makes my heart hurt to think of our countrymen giving aid and comfort, access, and information to China, or whoever else is trying to take us down. The Muslim Brotherhood. Whoever/whatever is fighting us.

michaelh

Not to disagree with you, more of a nuance.
I’ve heard a lot of people describe this as a “cold civil war”.
While it is true that open hostility has not broken out like 1861, we need to be careful about the word “cold”.
The war is quite “hot” right now and being played out in many different domains.
They are pushing the boundaries of what they can do. Some people describe the war as anything they can do to resist that is within the law.
That is NOT correct. They are doing anything they can do THAT THEY CAN GET AWAY WITH.
They are pushing the boundaries of the law on every point.
The most obvious case is they don’t care if activists get arrested and are in the wrong – the media will cover for the bad PR. INTIMIDATION is the name of the game. ARRESTS only HELP the intimidation game.
Judge-fare is still ongoing – Judicial Activism.
Lawfare is the activist partner to judge-fare. The reason lawfare has amplified is because there is urgency knowing the judges’ time on the bench is limited.
Information control is information warfare. Media narrative engineering, search engine “optimization”, social media scrubbing, disinformation, etc.
Economic warfare. Getting people fired for speaking out. Boycotting and bringing bad PR against companies that won’t fall in line – not just neutral, but supporting THEM. Frivilous discrimination suits not meant restitute for real damages but to weaponize discrimination law and destroy religious liberty.
It’s a hybrid warfare scenario playing out.
Behind it all is the reality of spiritual warfare.
It’s a “hot” war, intentionally skirting the limits of legality at every point.

singularZoe

Thanks, MichaelH, very helpful.

Sylvia Avery

I agree with you. I am struggling to get my arms around the concept of this kind of war. When I say cold war, I do mean we don’t have people squared off firing at each other. But you’re right in that warfare is taking place all around us, it is just of a different sort. Even things like was stated upthread about the Chinese shipping us fentanyl in here to kill thousands of our citizens without them even having to fire a shot.

michaelh

These people spend all their time coming up with plots to destroy.
The closest term is “asymmetric” except that it doesn’t quite fit the insurgent nature of the conflict.
“Information warfare” is a component of this but not complete.
“Hybrid” is also valid because it captures the essential idea of unconventional warfighting domains, but difficult for people to wrap their head around unless they’ve been trained on the concept.
I like the term “spiritual warfare” because it 1) recognizes the spiritual realities behind the conflict and why it is occurring across multiple domains 2) helps us recognize the proper tools for the battle, which incidentally are the same tools that are most effective against information warfare and psyops 3) makes the idiot secularists dismiss us out of hand as just a bunch of conspiracy nuts who aren’t a threat and read too much Frank Perretti 😉
But yes it is hard to get one’s head around it. The 2011 Wisconsin Protests are good to study as the left’s warmup act.

Sylvia Avery

Spiritual warfare is definitely the underpinning of everything that’s going on here. Undeniably. I just keep trying to put this in political/historical terms, but we’ve never seen anything like this.

Mary Morse

Wolfie and Sylvia,
I think that Wolfie’s lead photo says it all. If that’s an entry to O’s Kalarama compound, I’ve seen this before. It’s this at a smaller scale:http://www.mbfarchitects.com/cherry-point-main-gate-canopy/
Also, please adjust the location of O on the DC diagram…Kalarama is the right quadrant just below the confluence. (Symbolism matters.)

WIWI – World Information War I.

Actually, it could be argued that WIWI was WWI.
The very first day of the war, a British cable laying ship raised and cut all German-controlled undersea cables. Germany was no longer able to communicate with the United States other than by radio (very primitive then), or by boat. They never got their “side” of any story into the American press, but the Brits set up a whole entirely secret department to push their propaganda world wide.
Under those circumstances the US began to favor the allies, beginning to sell them armaments, and only complaining about the effects of German submarine warfare zones on trade, not the British ones, and of course we eventually entered the war on their side.

GA/FL

You are absolutely right – we are at war.
And our enemy knows no Geneva Conventions or Marquess of Queensbury rules to this war.
Our opponents are without humane constraints, having given consent to the dissection of human infants and sale of their body parts, even to draining, dr1nking or transfusing their bl00d.
Their evil knows no bounds. Do not give them credit for any good motives or goals. You dead by any means necessary is just fine with them. They are on the level of ISIS which slaughtered and sold human body parts to fund their war…and drugged their soldiers to fuel their barbaric acts.
They will use germ warfare, chemical weapons and steal and sell your babies and little children.
Do not give them credit for one human emotion.

Do not give them credit for one human emotion…or the slightest bit of pity or reticence or mercy.
Power, money, lust are their addictions and rule their minds and emotions. They will stop at nothing.

GA/FL: “Do not give them credit for one human emotion…or the slightest bit of pity or reticence or mercy.
Power, money, lust are their addictions and rule their minds and emotions. They will stop at nothing.”
It has been this way for a long time, but more people on our side are realizing it now, and the Left is becoming more brazen. So the battle lines are much clearer now. This is a momentous and pivotal time. What we do will affect the course of our lives, our country, and the world.
It is indeed a war, and I thank God that he has provided us with General Donald Trump. I agree with others that it is a spiritual battle. Who would have thought that Donald Trump would lead us in the great spiritual battle of this age?
Isaiah 55:
8 “For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord.
9 “For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are My ways higher than your ways,
And My thoughts than your thoughts.

Exactly right.
Here in the prayer trenches we are to take captive every thought that opposes God. And we appeal the King of Heaven to strip away and tear to shreds the blinders on the minds of the opposition.

Satan, who is the god of this world, has blinded the minds of those who don’t believe. They are unable to see the glorious light of the Good News. They don’t understand this message about the glory of Christ, who is the exact likeness of God.

Yep, Sylvia, it IS a war; a spiritual war, and it has been going on for a long, LONG time. But GOD has won, indeed won before time began, for ALL ETERNITY. Ephesians 6:10-18 says what’s really happening, and what we should do, for there are indeed dark forces at work:

10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

I find the notion of Mick Mulvaney running the WH staff quite comforting. The coverage of him when he took over at that stupid Consumer Protection Agency Pocahantas place inspired confidence. Seeing him with his sleeves rolled up poring over ledgers and very quietly, competently, digging in and taking charge makes me think he will serve PDJT well in this role, too. I sure hope so.

Tonawanda

Mulvaney does inspire confidence!

NebraskaFilly

I was disappointed, TBH. I hoped he would shut the un-Constitutional agency down completely. Kavanaugh’s opinion stated it was not Constitutional as-is but was overturned by the usual judicial activism (one of the reasons the dims fought his nomination). Hopefully, this will be brought to SCOTUS.
“After CFPB imposed a $109 million fine on PHH Corp., the New Jersey mortgage service provider sued, challenging the constitutionality of the CFPB.
In 2016, the D.C. Court of Appeals sided with the company and cleared the fine. Kavanaugh, one of the three judges, wrote the opinion. Kavanaugh wrote that the CFPB is “unconstitutionally structured.”
The structure, Kavanaugh argued, gives the CFPB director more unilateral authority than anyone in the government besides the president.
In order to remedy the constitutional flaw, Kavanaugh wrote, Supreme Court precedent dictates a “narrower remedy” than shutting down the entire CFPB. Kavanaugh suggested allowing the president to supervise, direct and fire the director at will. That’s not exactly the same thing as finding the CFPB itself to be unconstitutional, but it’s close, law experts told us.
A later decision by the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit upheld CFPB’s constitutionality. The question could still come to the Supreme Court.”

Wolfie — thinking about memes through this lens is very useful. Gay marriage is an example in that it is deployed as a wedge issue against Christianity. Civil unions would provide gays with the exact same rights as married people, alleviating the various horror stories about not being able to visit dying loved ones in the hospital and inheritance issues and whatnot. I would be happy to provide these rights in exchange for not having to think about the sexual proclivities of people I meet.
But civil unions were not good enough — not good enough because they do not erode the notion that unions between a man and a woman should be preferred and protected by society because these particular unions can produce offspring and create families bound by blood as the nucleus of a civil society. Only by attacking marriage can you attack the foundations of civil society. And this reveals why everyone we know is aware of this issue and is forced to form an opinion on it.

Now, that she’s been outed, Tlaib is making up a story about how she was “separated” from her husband at the time she lied on sworn documents and calls her father crazy. She’s gotten her brothers to circle the wagons for her on the lies. And, of course, now the “separation from her husband” is conveniently over, now that she finally bought a home in her district in June 2009, over a year after she lied on forms claiming she live in the district. Don’t believe her cover story. Tlaib lied before and she’s been caught. In this case, she’s either committed election fraud or tax fraud….”

If nobody’s looking, POTUS will finish the wall and say TA DA…wall is done…next issue…and make the DEMS looks even stupider.

Pat Frederick

NYGuy54

Good morning everyone. Pres Trump has already won this fight over the border wall. Look at how compliant Rep House leadership has been with the President. Our minority leader is completely on board. Scalise has been unleashed. VP Pence is the hatchet man. Mulvaney actually knows policy negotiations (Gen Kelly was useless, ineffective).
Add to that the impact the caravan and the border patrol agent being killed has had on public opinion.
And add to that, the horror of Pelosi when her new reps started talking about impeachment before the end of the first day. Dems had to pull back from that so fast because Nancy realizes they do have to lead as well.
Her first test. She lost. Matter of time. POTUS will probably give them something to save face. Under no conditions can she allow Pres Trump to declare a national emergency (caravan approaching) and build the wall without the Dems involved.
One little press conference and POTUS cornered Pelosi. Leveraged her.The beauty of it is that she doesn’t know it yet. As usual, my opinion.

GA/FL

Trump has them cornered like in checkers – which ever way they move, he can jump them or even double jump them and they lose their man or men.

Great analysis!

GA/FL

GOD is the GOD of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob – Exodus 3:15
The Law of the LORD comes out of Zion – Isaiah 2:3
The true LAW and Commandments were given to the Jews to live, hold, preserve. When they disobeyed, they were attacked, were conquered and taken into captivity by Assyria, the Philistines or other pagan groups. Isaiah 10:5, 26:3, 30:15, 31:8-9. This story goes back to Eden….Romans 1:16-32.
Jesus fulfilled the requirements of the Law and was the last blood sacrifice, the last priest, king and savior.
The false prophet Mohammed and his followers have tried to co-opt, conquer, supplant and change this. Mohammed denied the deity of Christ – promoted himself to God’s chief prophet and demoted Jesus to just another mere prophet. Mohammedanism is both a heresy and a blasphemy.
The founders of the Mormans also tried to change, add to and supplant basic Christianity with their own secretive mystical syncretistic system which borrows somewhat from the Mohammedans….Mormon = Moor man or Mohammedan.
The leftists/liberals have also tried to change and deny the truth of GOD and the Gospel of Faith in Christ.
They never can.

Tonawanda

Belloc wrote a great book on heresies in which he called islam the “great and enduring heresy.” In truth, islam was and is the worship of mohammed, an enterprise intended to provide mohammed with power, money and plenty of sex. But Belloc says it started as a perversion of Christian doctrine:
https://www.ewtn.com/library/Doctrine/heresy.HTM

GA/FL

Belloc’s book, esp. the chapter on communism as the anti-Christ, is likely not popular with the current Pope. And, Belloc died before the great millstone-worthy sins of the Catholic church clergy was exposed. Archbishop Diarmuid interviewed hundreds (!) of perpetrators and found only one or two who was truly repentant. Same is likely of the homosexual culture within the RCC clergy. I’ll never forget when the customs guy caught Bishop Lahey coming back from Bali with a laptop full of child p0rn. In my state of FL….an Archbishop and 2 Bishops were caught in sin and forced to retire. It’s a shameful, horrible and criminal situation.

Tonawanda

Very disturbing and saddening. Come to think of it, the people you cite (NOT Belloc!) sound exactly what Jesus meant when he made the millstone statement.

GA/FL

Many call it the Roman Catholic because Rome is its HQ and history. It is also called the Western Church, which split long ago from the Eastern Church or Orthodox church.

GA/FL

There are sexual deviant predators in other churches, and cover-ups there too. I don’t think it’s all a communist plot…it’s just easy in the Catholic church to create a massive predator/harassment homosexual culture, due to lack of transparency and the structure of power within the clergy.

GA/FL

It broke my heart to learn that SNAP was pro-gay liberal leftist. They aren’t redemptive or orthodox Christian in the least.

In our state parishioners actively exposed and forced these high ranking clerics to resign. I don’t think there was any prosecution…except maybe for the bishops who were involved in fraud (not the same as the other two bishops involved in sexual sins). I pray other states will have parish groups to do likewise.

singularZoe

You are correct “catholic” refers to the universal body of Christian believers. People say “roman catholic” to 1. differentiate it from what I mentioned above and 2. the papacy is seated in ERome and 3. to differentiate from the eastern church, as there was a split with Rome. “Catholics” may not say Roman Catholic because they believe it is the true church. Also, originally the Roman church and the Roman state or empire were virtually one.

Tonawanda

In reading the New Testament, I enjoy thinking about the source of the information.
From this passage and others it seems Mary was necessarily the eyewitness who provided information for parts, just as Joseph was necessarily the source for other information, such as his dreams, although his information may have been transmitted through Mary also. (IMO Joseph’s “disappearance” is a very significant fact in understanding how to read the New Testament).
The Resurrection is the central historical fact, but before that was the Transfiguration. There are three apostles who necessarily must have been the eyewitness sources of that event. The Miracle meeting with Moses and Elijah as well as the spoken word “Son” is significant in so many ways, historical and otherwise.
Very, very significant from an historical point of view, is Paul giving a first hand eyewitness account of his miraculous encounter with Jesus. One of the most intriguing aspects of the New Testament is the fact that Paul was taught directly by Jesus, a fact accepted by the other apostles.

I’m only asking.
What version of the Bible isn’t it in? Examples below:
ESV:
48
for he has looked on the humble estate of his servant.
For behold, from now on all generations will call me blessed;
KJV:
48 For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
ASV:
48 For he hath looked upon the low estate of his [a]handmaid:
For behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
Holman:
48
because He has looked with favor
on the humble condition of His slave.
Surely, from now on all generations
will call me blessed,
NIV:
48
for he has been mindful
of the humble state of his servant.
From now on all generations will call me blessed,
Who is offended by that? Mary was indeed blessed to bear the Lord in her womb.

churchmouse

Hmm, seems a stretch to say that Protestants revered Mary more than Catholics.
I never heard such a thing about Douay-Reims from my parents or the nuns and priests in all my many years of Catholic education at home or at school. Ever.
So, how did ‘blessed are you amongst women’ get into the prayer (‘Hail Mary’)?
And why is it in the Douay-Reims 1899 version?
48 Because he hath regarded the humility of his handmaid; for behold from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.

I’m sorry. I do not understand this at all.

churchmouse

Not from what you had written, dropping half of a Bible verse.

CM, Mary was indeed blessed, and I love Mary’s song. I don’t pray to her, I don’t worship her in any way. She was a sinner saved by grace, as are we all, and she had other children after the miraculous virgin birth. But she was blessed among women, and we shouldn’t be afraid to say so. I’m not trying to start an argument, just stated my beliefs regarding her. To think what this amazing young woman went through, but she knew the Lord had chosen her to bring Jeshua into the world for salvation, and her faith was so strong. And then there was Joseph, love to ponder his faith and the part he played, and how he stood by Mary, and he trusted the Lord, too.

churchmouse

Absolutely agree, Zoe.
No, I understand what you are saying — and thank you for it.
I’m not trying to start an argument, either, but quite an unusual statement has been made about the Catholic version of the Bible.

singularZoe

Well, cm, I see what you mean, but I’m utterly clueless to answer you, not being familiar enough with that Bible version. Think I’ll let it rest. Thank you for your kind response.

churchmouse

It’s not for you to answer, Zoe, as you did not raise the subject in the first place.
That person has not responded. Perhaps that person received misguided information.
Anyway, I am glad you contributed with your impression of Mary, which lines up with that of most Christians who are not Catholic.
Thank you again. Much appreciated.
Have a blessed Sunday — January 6 — Epiphany, the visitation of the Magi to the Holy Family. It is a beautiful day when we remember Gentiles from afar who travelled for many months, guided only by a star, to visit the Christ Child, whom they called ‘king of the Jews’, a divine mystery of sorts.
It’s pretty extraordinary. I have a post about the Epiphany with lots of links to past posts of mine about this important feast day in the Church.

I know that it is likely you already know this but in the event you do not I offer it for your enjoyment. In my estimation one of the finest songs written about Mary’s Song, the Magnificat, was written by John Michael Talbot. It is titled “Holy Is His Name.” I have included a You Tube link if you wish to hear it. This particular video has a very long introduction, the actual song begins about 3 minutes in, but the intro sets the context for the song very well. I have no idea if the link will actually go thru since I am not skilled in embedding content but if it doesn’t you could do a You Tube search and find it.

This is not the particular one I had in mind but it does give the song’s background.

Here is an interesting theory that got shot down Over There. Nonetheless, if seen from a nutty Uniparty perspective, it does make sense.
According to this, Trump’s presidency will rely on keeping Mike Pence safe:
‘formerdem says:
January 4, 2019 at 10:04 pm
‘And here is my mad guess: (1) Now that there is a Democrat in the line of succession, push Pence out – try to make him resign the way Agnew did (through exasperation) or failing that the way Flynn did (to protect his family) and if all else fails, some other way. Every single day that Pence hangs on, from here on out, is a win for Trump. I am sure Pence will soon be put under some kind of terrible pressure. (2) If Pence can be disposed of, then try to get Mitt Romney installed as VP in Pence’s place, by scaring everybody into the fear of Nancy Pelosi as otherwise next in the line of succession. Prove that nobody but Romney has the votes to get through the Senate, so it is a choice of Mitt for VP or Nancy Pelosi in the line of succession. Go all out with all media allies in support of this. A nice move would be having the NYT admit some of the many crimes of the Democrats, which would indeed spook everybody into Mittness, which is the actual goal. (2a) If Mitt gets picked, proceed with impeachment, full on, and if it works, then help Mitt get the cabinet he wants, and be re-elected in 2020, so he can restart wars and start emptying out the economy. He will be very very blackmailable…. (2b) if Mitt is NOT picked, then drop impeachment and live with Trump, because Nancy Pelosi in the White House as a consequence of her own impeachment proceedings will be unable to govern. Unlike Mitt, she will not win in 2020 under any circumstances, nor does her party want her to. 2020 would be a huge intraparty fight, and GOP will win, and Prez will not be Mittens.
…. So that is my forecast. I suggest doubling Pence’s secret service detail, and all of us praying for his perseverance. One way or another Hell is about to be let loose on him, and we may or may not see it.’

Gudthots

It’s Plausible.

churchmouse

SD says McConnell is up to his old tricks. He, too, is up for re-election in 2020, nonetheless:
‘Through his power structure McConnell directly controls about 8 to 15 republican senators; we have called them “The Decepticons” for years. [Cornyn, Thune, Porter, Blunt, Portman, Burr, Barasso, Crapo, Murkowski, Gardner, Roberts, Sasse, Tillis, Graham and now Romney]
‘McConnell needed to test Romney’s commitment to the Decepticon club. Romney passed the test. Romney was rewarded with placement on the Senate Foreign Relations committee. Those Senators who sit on this committee get the most financial benefit from foreign lobbying. To understand the financial process think: Qatar & McCain Institute etc.
‘That’s what is going on internally…. and no, I doubt President Trump knows the scale of it; or maybe he does, and he has to pretend like he doesn’t to navigate his agenda… but somehow I doubt it …
‘Yes, Democrats are the opponents. However, the far more urgent MAGA enemy is Mitch McConnell.’

michaelh

The warning is correct. McConnell has never been trustworthy. Any actions that appear to be MAGA (judges) are only those which support his interests.
A fresh warning about McConnell is timely – since everyone is focused on the Pelosi-Schumer axis of power. Bi-partisanship against Trump is more predictable than bi-partisanship that favors Trump.

Fidel Castro’s grandson had a public instagram acct showing all the travel and expensive lifestyle he lives. Its gone private. As Cuba’s people live under totalitarianism. These are the kind of people that claim they are of the people too.
Various South Florida-based media outlets covering the Cuban community came across Tony Castro’s snaps just days before the Communist island celebrated the 60th anniversary of the Cuban Revolution, led by his grandfather who would later rule for five decades before dying in 2016.
The lives of the former Cuban leader’s immediate family members have always been somewhat of a secret to the outside world.  
Tony Castro, who is in his 20s, managed to keep a low profile despite being active on Instagram.
But the Miami Herald  and other media organizations got  hold of some photos that today are only visible by his 1,300 followers.comment image

Eliminate the alien invaders from your state, and you will lose a congressional district with next census. This is what terrifies the dems and rinos. A wall will mean the loss of congress critters.
The wall is more important than we know..
What happened at the first session of the 116th Congress? We saw a handful of powerful Republicans cross over to the Dim side, betraying POTUS and the promise of a wall. HJR 1 and HR 21 which do not include funding for the wall were passed. Which Republicans broke and voted with the Dims?
Rep Will Hurd Texas 23rd District voted for both
Rep Brian Fitzpatrick PA First District voted for both
Rep John Katko NY 24th District voted for both
Rep Chris Smith NJ voted bor HJ1 only
Rep Elise Stepanik NY 21st District voted for both
Rep Fred Upton Mich 6th District voted for HR 21
Rep Greg Walden of Oregon 2nd District voted for HR 21
Rep Peter King NY 2nd District voted for HR 21 (King supports DACA)
ICYMI, VP Pence has been assigned the job of reigning in the rogue Republicans who are on the fence/wall …
More recent VPs have known their job to be ‘hatchet man’… for almost 2 yrs now Pence has avoided this role… in the last few days he has spoken out in support of POTUS’s agenda for the wall.
Let’s hope Pence is able to pull these eight onto POTUS’s agenda…
And, keep in mind that the Census is coming up… most politicians realize that the wall will be built, illegals will, under President Trump, be deported, and Census numbers will come down, districts will be eliminated, and some will lose their jobs. California is set to lose BIGLY… in terms of voles for Dims, in terms of loss of seats in the House

Petition Title: The removal of Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) from office, do to inappropriate and unstable actions becoming of a congresswoman.
Do to Rashida Tlaib actions and profanity, she is unfit to be a congresswoman. Her rude display and lack of respect for our sitting President was uncalled for. Her immediate removal from her seat is just and warranted. Do to her hatred towards our president, I feel she is a national security threat.

NebraskaFilly

In all honesty, I could care less about her language. It is her ideology that makes her highly dangerous. Infiltration by Islam writ large!

NebraskaFilly

Even more dangerous, IMO, are the MB implants still buried within our intelligence agencies. I have to wonder if PDJT is taking steps to rectify that. I certainly hope so.

Pat Frederick

I agree…her language usage is indicative of her personal bias against the President.
For all their claims of restoring “civility” to government, the moment the new House took office, this was their conduct. Their inability to act appropriately is unbecoming and a threat to the President’s security.

singularZoe

I consider her language disrespectful of the office she holds, of the people she serves and of the office of the president.

singularZoe

I agree. Maybe reading it wrong, but I think it should be “unbecoming” not becoming. Anyway, she is unqualified to hold her office.

Pat Frederick

well yeah and they used “do” instead of “due” but I signed anyway…

NebraskaFilly

I’m just going to throw this out here….IMO, it is foolish to focus on her language. I mean, come on – one of their biggest complaints about our VSG is his language (which is The People’s language) so are we not falling into the same trap here? Again, JMO. Her ideology is the problem, which includes her hatred for everything the US and our Constitution represent. PDJT is just a convenient focal point and I feel it detracts from our focus on the true dangers to worry about the dirty words she used.

singularZoe

I’m not going to defend some of Trump’s language at times, but there are certain words I have not heard him use, and there are certain venues where I feel he would not use inappropriate language, and I would not call use of “MF” “the people’s language.’ Not the people I know.

NebraskaFilly

I hear it every day I go to work, not the least being from my direct boss. I agree on the venue. But this language is just a fact of life among the younger crowds – I kid you not! I would guess you will hear it on every side at almost any mall in the country.

singularZoe

Some of the young, but not all, and we all have to grow up sometime. Guess that’s partly why I don’t go to the mall. Lol.

singularZoe

I remember my mother would wash my brother’s mouth out with soap. He’s in his late 50’s now, and to this day he doesn’t use foul language, and it wasn’t only for the language punishment was meted out, it was for disrespect. Bad language is just a symptom. But our society has been rapidly coarsening, I agree.

NebraskaFilly

Yep – LOL – my brother got the soap A LOT!!!! I remember one time, when we were attending an all-in-one-room country school, the teacher took a really thick history book and whacked him on the back of the head! We girls loved it! I believe that one was over a garter snake in her desk drawer. And agree wholeheartedly – it is a symptom.

singularZoe

NB, love that story. You made me really laugh.

Sylvia Avery

Thank you. Same here.

Sylvia Avery

Maybe focusing on her language is missing the larger point of her utter unsuitability.
But I’ll say this. I’m not exactly a prude and can swear like a sailor, and perhaps it is a generational thing but I don’t believe I have ever used the word M**********. It sounds shockingly out of bounds to me. Especially when her words are taken in context. She is having this wonderful, warm, inspirational moment with her son about bullying and says m***********. It is cringe inducing, and frankly seems abusive to me. Who would say that to a child?
But probably hip hop has been blaring that word for so long that it is no longer shocking to younger people and is perhaps used commonly even in front of kids in certain circles, I don’t know.

NebraskaFilly

That really was all I was trying to point out – we all know she has no respect whatsoever for our President and the times PDJT has used cuss words have been appropriate, IMO, and well-deserved. And, tbh, I have used the word myself – in an all-male environment, one is sometimes required to assert oneself in a manner that leaves no question of your ability to stand up for yourself and maintain equilibrium. Otherwise, you are seen as a victim. At least, that has been my experience.

Sylvia Avery

Yes, I understand!

singularZoe

I’m also well alware there are other big reasons this woman is unqualified for her office, like, as Wolfmoon points out, being a huge security risk. Just had to address the language issue, and the issue of the dignity of the office she holds, and that of the president. Sorry now I’m rambling and rehashing. Lol. Time to get off here for a while and make dinner.

This didn’t quite work out. It’s a tweet of a meme with a pic of PDJT and it has his words written across it, “On Rashina Tlaib: She dishonored her family and herself.” I particularly liked that statement of his as it was to the point and dignified. The meme also says, “Purposeful phrasing, master troll level. He just pointed out to her family/community that she’s broken sharia law.”

Cuppa Covfefe

Sad to say, that horrible expression has been part of street vernacular for at least six decades, if not longer.
Richard Pryor (I think it was him) had a hilarious routine about a “Brother” trying to order an Egg McMuffin at the drive-thru… took him about five minutes (and tons of attempts) before he could actually sound out Egg McMuffin…
Still, the fact that “everybody does it” doesn’t make it right, same as tons of people overeating, binge-drinking, smoking, or base-jumping don’t make those activities healthy… (Argumentum ad Populum)…

singularZoe

Not sure my delicate ears even want an answer to my question, but simply have to ask. What in heck is “base-jumping”?

singularZoe

Can only surmise it may have to do with the extreme promiscuity pervasive in some quarters of society currently.

Covadonga

No, not unless the original term has been hijacked for an entirely different meaning!
But that’s a creative attempt to explain it!
BASE is an acronym for building, antenna, span, earth, (though in trying to remember it just now before looking it up I guessed bridge, antenna, skyscraper, earth.)
Anyway, it’s an extreme sports, illegal in many jurisdictions, of low altitude skydiving or paragliding.
To play, you’re supposed to jump off the top of one of each of the first three things, then jump from the rim of a large sinkhole of some kind into the ground.
It claims quite a few fatalities each year, and is much more dangerous than jumping out of planes, due to the low altitude involved.

singularZoe

Thank you for explaining, Covadonga. I live so much out of the world, don’t know these things.

Covadonga

I remember watching in the summer of 2001 a really well done TV documentary on a BASE jumper.
The building chosen for this fellow’s adventure was one of the towers of the WTC. He had a friend working in the restaurant on the top floor let him in to an area where he could open an emergency exit and go out with the parachute he’d smuggled in under his jacket.
For earth, he jumped from ground level on the rim of a really spectacular horizontal cave in northwestern Mexico. It went down the equivalent of quite a few stories, to an underground lake at the bottom.
The Twin Towers connection is what makes me so certain of the year, after all this time. The memory of watching that documentary so recently hit me really hard on 9/11, along with the thought that fast-tracking Timothy McVeigh’s execution, which had also just happened that summer, was just a huge mistake, considering that he had been seen talking with “a Middle Eastern man” right before the Oklahoma City bombing.

Yes, Covadonga, see what you mean. Really tragic.

“…Will China be the hyperpower of the 21st century? Answer: No. Its population will get old before it’s got rich…
Unfortunately, as Tucker Carlson noted in the American context the other night, it’s easier for the state to demolish the family than to rebuild it. China wound up with an unintended Cultural Revolution: The cultural norm of having households with multiple children faded away so totally that, even when it’s no longer illegal to have two kids, very few Chinese want to; they’ve gotten out of the habit. In Germany, by comparison, there are many, many childless couples, but you’ll also run across the occasional parents who have two, three, or maybe even four kids, and thus keep the idea of family alive. When the state is powerful enough to insist that every couple has no more than one child, the notion of a big family doesn’t even survive as a minority pastime. If no one’s seen a two-child household for two generations, the rhythms of life shift – and are hard to shift back…”

In Germany, from wht I have read it is mainly the Turks and other muslims that have the big families, eventually becoming the majority, able to take over and impose their world view on the larger society.

NebraskaFilly

Part of the MB’s published plan from the 1990’s.

singularZoe

Very true. The Holy Land Foundation trial documents found from Muslim Brotherhood unindited co-conspirators–think Obama had something to do with topping their prosecution.

Molly Pitcher

We can’t overlook the psychological aspects either. Germany for example…individuals working hard to make up for what happened ..so overly tolerant for things that seem unfair. Immigrants receiving homes, stipends..then the constant message..low native birthrate..they certainly must make way for these cultures pumping babies out like rabbits. Low native birthrates..why? Because of public subtle messaging to be career first? Have less children in order to give them more? Don’t have children of your own..mentor/foster..so many in need.
The govt and media have teamed together to demoralize society

Cuppa Covfefe

Many Christians are having large families. My extended family, for instance (the younger ones) has an average of three children per family. At Christian retreats we attend (Freizeit), there are often families with seven or eight children, and sometimes 10 or 12. It’s not just the Moslems having kids, but sometimes it seems that way.
One thing that might exacerbate that view is that multiple wives from marriages made before “immigrating” to Germany are legal, up to four. Considering the average of five children per Moslem woman, that would make 25 persons (eventually) from each Moslem “immigrant”. So far, that nightmare hasn’t come to pass.
They’re still a long way from taking over, though Merde-kel is doing all she can to help them.
Most of the rest of us have other ideas… and elections this year in Germany should reflect that…

Molly Pitcher

I hope so Cuppa. We all are hampered by the fake news which of course shows the angle they want to amplify. What would we know without bits of truth seeping out from people like you? Thanks

singularZoe

Cuppa, very glad to have your account of the Christians having nice big families, but from the projections I’ve seen regarding Europe, including Germany, I’m afraid the trends sound pretty dire. Would love to be wrong.

singularZoe

Should have said western Europe. This is, of course, the U.N/globalist plan.

michaelh

The Moslems need to be careful not to believe their own propaganda. (Good luck with that.) About a decade ago I had the data, but the Moslem controlled nations were all well replacement level. The situation was dire enough that Al Jazeera had a broadcast discussion about it on the Arabic-only channel (where they thought no one from the West would be watching) which went into detail on the demographic crisis and what it would mean for Islam.
The Westernized Moslem propaganda tries to show Islam growing through geometric growth and taking over the United States. I hate to tell them, but the Mormons already had that idea and still haven’t taken over. Moreover, even if they did sustain that level of population growth, which given the siren call of Western over-population propaganda is a highly questionable assumption, they are so far behind that apart from massive conversion it will take many many generations to catch up. Even the Mormon growth stats compared against the rate of decline of the Southern Baptist Convention membership shows it’s going to take a VERY long time before the Mormons overtake the SBC.
Meanwhile, a strange thing happened in America. Christians get married and start families. Go figure. No wonder the Left hates us. Like they love to throw in our faces, demography is destiny.

“If no one’s seen a two-child household for two generations, the rhythms of life shift – and are hard to shift back…”
And everyone has been bombarded with anti-multiple child propaganda by the Communist government that controls all communications…
On Frank Gaffney’s Secure Freedom Radio podcast last month they were speculating that the government controls might get reversed, and the society might turn into a real life 21st century version of The Handmaid’s Tale.

Iran Pushes Warships Closer to US Waters, Plans To Close In On Atlantic
https://www.westernjournal.com/iran-pushes-warships-closer-us-waters-plans-close-atlantic/
A top commander in Iran’s navy said Friday that Iran, which is contesting America’s right to put an aircraft carrier in the Persian Gulf, will deploy warships in the Atlantic Ocean.
The group of warships is expected to set sail in March, according to Rear Adm. Touraj Hassani, Iran’s naval deputy commander. Hassani spoke to the state-controlled IRNA media outlet.
“The Atlantic Ocean is far and the operation of the Iranian naval flotilla might take five months,” he told IRNA, Reuters reported.
“By their continuous presence in international waters, Iranian naval forces aim to implement the orders of commander-in-chief of the armed forces (Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei), wave the flag of the Islamic Republic of Iran, thwart the Iranophobia plots, and secure shipping routes.”

Tough question for Iranian Naval leaders: How does Iran re-purpose a Zodiac as an aircraft carrier? I think they are going to have to steal some intellectual property to solve that one.

The Commies are shameless. Not one pol from Ca acknowledged LEO Singh’s sacrifice in the line of duty…forget the illegal alien killer part…but on a human level for his loss of life, his family…nothing.
But today…we’ve got the ” my heart breaks” tweets to victims in Torrance…a bowling alley scuffle that they’ve elevated into a mass shooting..guns are bad incident.
Kamala Harris, Ted Lieu…leading the pack but not a single kind word for a LEO murdered…but the underbelly gun toting teens…
They’re indecent..all of them.

michaelh

Yes, the left despises LEO’s. The typical useful idiot leftist has a childish understanding of what LEO’s do for use in protecting us and keeping us safe: the ONLY see them through the lens of TEH FEELZ, they hate LEO’s for being “mean” and for “doing bad things”, roughly the same level of respect of a toddler having a tantrum has for his parents. They have a bigoted, prejudiced, vile anger against any law enforcement. If you have trouble understanding this foolishness, it’s because you keep using LOGIC as the basis of your reasoning, and not the immature intellect of an emotionally unregulated man-child.

OK – past time for me to post a funny. Here goes – on letterhead from the “Bill Clinton Monument Committee, Little Hope, AR”
Dear Friend:
We have the distinguished honor of being on the committee for raising five million dollars for a statue of Bill Clinton to be placed in the Hall of Fame in Washington, D.C.
We, the committee, were in a quandary as to where to place the statue. It was not wise to place it next to the statue of George Washington, who never told a lie, nor beside Jessie Jackson, who never told the truth, because Clinton could never tell the difference.
We finally decided to place it next to Christopher Columbus, the greatest Democrat of all. He left home not knowing where he was going, and upon arrival, didn’t know where he was, and returned home not knowing where he had been. He even did it all on borrowed money.
Over 5000 years ago, Moses said to the children of Israel, “Pick up your shovels, mount your asses and camels, and I will lead you to the promised land.”
Nearly 5000 years later, Franklin Roosevelt said, “Lay down your shovels, sit on your asses, light a Camel, this is the promised land.”
Now Bill Clinton is stealing your shovels, kicking your asses, raising the price of Camels, and mortgaging the promised land. If you are one of the fortunate few who has any money left after paying taxes, we would greatly appreciate a generous donation as a contribution to this very worthwhile project.
Sincerely,
The Bill Clinton Committee
P.S. It has been rumored that Bill Clinton is considering changing the emblem of the Democrat Party from a donkey to a condom…..because…..it not only stands for inflation, but it protects a bunch of big pricks, it halts all production, and gives you a false sense of security while you’re being screwed.

Here’s a good one from OT about DHS research on the border. Worth trying:

‘An interesting experiment is mass psychology/group think.
‘Take that presentation by Sec. Nielsen, rebrand it as a DNC internal research report and start leaving copies in the local coffee shops and break rooms among the other newspapers and magazines. Wait and see if the liberals you know start quoting the figures.’

This is a 53-minute-long film you can run in the background about the gilets jaunes — yellow jackets:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBz6bi4zmpg
The Frenchman that Sarah Westall interviewed says that there is no gilets jaunes leader on purpose. Everyone is equal and no one speaks for the rest.
He says he is nearing his 40th birthday and felt it was time to join them: ‘All you need is a yellow jacket, nothing else’.
He said he has felt for much of his life as if he was being cheated at poker, an analogy for elected officials and national/EU policies impoverishing the average citizen: ‘Okay, one or two hands you lose, but when you are losing every time, you must be surrounded by cheaters’.
He says that he does not identify with the violent supposed gilets jaunes that the media are now cramming into every news clip. He says most are peaceful, as is he. He has a wife and a family and he wants to live a quiet life. However, when so many French people cannot make ends meet, they have got together to participate in quiet demonstrations.
He was most critical of Macron, a ‘little pr*ck we never even heard of until 18 months ago’, who ‘has insulted the French more times than any president in the last 60 years’ and who won with only a fifth of the vote. Many people voted ‘blanc’ (blank) or abstained that day.
He’s articulate and polite. Well worth a listen.

I will listen to it later tonight, thanks for the run down. I gather the French don’t like being insulted by Macron any more than we do.

Spot on, Sylvia!

Kirstjen Nielsen, apparently, is ‘long overdue’ for an oversight hearing:

That’s BS, she testified last month. They were reaming her about the little girl that died, among other things. Remember Drama Queen Gutierrez went off about Jesus had no Wall in Egypt and left when she tried to respond?😃

Neilson should just show up…and then LEAVE.
Same with Wilbur Ross.
I hope they just show up, then leave!
What are the Dems going to do?
They have no power to do anything to them.

Southwest Key, the illegal children housing company SD wrote about last year:
‘Inquiry Into Migrant Shelters Poses Dilemma: What Happens to the Children?’
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/05/us/southwest-key-migrant-shelters.html
‘ … Southwest Key, which has pulled in $1.7 billion over the past decade, is being investigated by the Justice Department after a New York Times article documented possible financial improprieties and poor management. The charity stockpiled tens of millions in taxpayer dollars with little government oversight, possibly engaged in self-dealing with top executives and paid them significantly higher than the federal salary cap for migrant shelter grants.’
Juan Sanchez, founder of Southwest Key, has one over the US government. If his shelters close, there are fewer facilities for illegal migrant children.
Hmm.

bflyjesusgrl

Excellent! They all need to be investigated and prosecuted.
