Dear KMAG: 20191029 Open Topic

This ROCKTOBER [29] [PLACEHOLDER] TUESDAY 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 / KAG! / KMAG world (KMAG being a bit of both MAGA and KAG!).


POTUS meme

You can say what you want, comment on what other people said, and so on.

Free Speech is practiced here. ENJOY IT. Use it or lose it.

Keep it SOMEWHAT civil. They tried to FORCE fake Orwellian civility on us. In response, we CHOOSE true civility to defend our precious FREEDOM from THEM.

Our rules began with the civility of the Old Treehouse, later to become the Wolverinian Empire, and one might say that we have RESTORED THE OLD REPUBLIC – the early high-interaction model of the Treehouse – except of course that Q discussion is not only allowed but encouraged, and speech is considerably freer in other ways. Please feel free to argue and disagree with the board owner, as nicely as possible.

Please also consider the Important Guidelines, outlined here in the January 1st open thread. Let’s not give the odious Internet Censors a reason to shut down this precious haven.


SPEAK THE FIVE WORDS BOLDLY TO OUR PRESIDENT!

I AM PRAYING FOR YOU!


AND WHAT TIME IS IT?

TIME TO….

DRAIN THE SWAMP

Our movement

Is about replacing

A failed

And CORRUPT

Political establishment

With a new government controlled

By you, the American People.

Candidate Donald J. Trump

Also remember Wheatie’s Rules:

  1. No food fights.
  2. No running with scissors.
  3. If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.

So here we are. After a month of HOT AUGUST, and LIGHT overcoming DARKNESS in LIGHT IN SEPTEMBER, we approach the close of ROCKTOBER.

Stay tuned. There is MOAR winning to come.

And don’t forget….

Where We Go One, We Go All.

American Pride
It was not so long ago
I can still recall
Obozo aided terrorists
To cause al-Assad’s fall
Hildabeast helped him, too
Thought she’d have some fun
So she got Qadaffi killed
Then took his money on the run
Hills and Bozo ran more guns
To ISIS Syrian buds
No Name and others helped them
Then spilled Benghazi’s blood
This was all Obozo’s plan
To build a Muzzy force
To bring about the Caliphate
And rule the world, of course
So ISIS formed to cleanse the world
Of all the kafir dogs
And enslave the women
Inside black burqa togs
al-Baghdadi led this group
Across the Eastern lands
Raping, torturing, beheading,
Leaving bloodstained sands
But, then it happened
Against predicted odds
Trump was elected President
To stop old Hilda’s fraud
Instead of Bozo’s traitors
We have an honest man
To fight against the terrorists
And their evil plans
So now it’s,
Bye, bye, al-Baghdadi died
Whimpering, cowering as he cried
All the Dimms in the swamp
Held hands as they cried
And Pelosi, Schiff & Schumer
Watch their plans go awry
‘Cause that bad Orange Man
Didn’t warn them he’d try
But this is the day Baghdadi died
The Dimms were singing,
Why, why did Baghdadi die?
This austere religious scholar
Was our kind of guy
He rose from obscurity
To an ISIS position high
And he led the poor Muzzies
To get their piece of the pie
And now they tell us he’s died
Oh, no, they tell us he’s died
The Deplorables laughed:
Bye, bye, al-Baghdadi died
He ran to far Barisha
Then heard our war cry
Now PTrump has a victory
That cannot be denied
So, cheer, cheer as our flag flies high
More cheers for American pride
Most cheers for our Special Ops guys
‘Cause this is the day that he died
This is the day Baghdadi died

Most Delightful Poem!
We have a new genre – Political Satirical Comedy Poetry!!!

nikkichico7

You’re excellence is without bounds … outstanding Carl thank you .. 🙂🤚❤️🇺🇸❤️‼️

phoenixrising37

This is Part 1… I posted Part 2 the other day, and pointed to the link to Part 1. However, the last comments on the previous Daily Thread appear to me to be a slight depressing (understatement). Hoping this THREAD will lift some spirits. It’s a good one

nikkichico7

wow .. thanks Phoenix .. 😮🤚❤️‼️

prognosticatasaurusrex

I posted a long article on my blog on my take and MORE on this (the WHY for the meeting) Gave you and Greg your due hat tip Phoenix. https://wordpress.com/post/politicalprognosticator.politics.blog/444 Check it out.

phoenixrising37

Rex, your link took me to WP’s generic site… recheck link please. (no h/t necessary, I just bring what I think is newsworthy, not the researcher like you and Gregg 😉 )

prognosticatasaurusrex

hmmm…link works for me.
I always try to give credit where credit is due Phoenix,. You and others here do a fantastic job in bringing forth source materials that I and some of the other researchers expand upon. It is MUCH appreciated.
I hope you can see the link, as it expands on what I sent to Wolfe up article. I think it is pretty earth shattering and fits perfectly as to the WHY that Greg originally posted.
I think he has the WHO, WHERE, and WHEN, I posted the WHY. That is how this is supposed to work, someone digs, comes up with an idea, and others expand and validate their original post.

prognosticatasaurusrex

put the link up in a different way. Let me know if that works.

phoenixrising37

That worked… good theory in your article. Makes complete sense to me. Kudos on your article…

prognosticatasaurusrex

Thanks, I thought it tied it all up in nice little bow. I would like to send it to Greg, but don’t want to offend him…

phoenixrising37

Don’t think he would be offended. Send it 😉

prognosticatasaurusrex

I sent it via tweet. Lets see if he responds.

phoenixrising37

Ohh, one more to lift your spirits…

That’s NOT a “Knife”…..
It’s a spoon.

bakocarl

If true . . . super! But maybe just somewhat grounded speculation.

patfrederick

right? it’s not like her brother died or something and she didn’t have anything big like impeachment going on…

prognosticatasaurusrex

Remember, NOT just Pelosi went, Schiff as well. ONLY one Republican went. I think it may be time to start researching just WHO went in that delegation. I always knew that Obama was behind ISIS and was funding them. Do you know what else…and Trump gave AWAY the urgency..it was the OIL FIELDS. That is where the $$ was coming from…THAT is what the Cabal were worried about, the OIL $$.
My bet, ISIS was buying weapons from US (Pelosi and Schiff KNOW, or had to approve it..remember WHO holds the purse strings NOW, and WHEN ISIS was formed.)
I think Trump knew or found out that Baghdadi and ISIS were using that oil to BUY weapons from us through the CIA, and that the Cabal (Nanacy and Schiff ARE members) was SKIMMING the proceeds…off book of course.
In short, if true, Trump not only set up Baghdadi, he set up Schiff and Pelosi TOO. This WILL come out. It explains ALL the shenanigans with Syria, the pull out and furor over FIFTY guys, AND the urgency with which Pelosi and Schiff dropped EVERYTHING…over FIFTY guys..I do not think so…it was the DANGER that Turkey would TAKE their oil field CASH COW.
This was a PLANNING session..by TRAITORS to help Bagdadi regain control of that OIL. Remember, Trump SAID : “He was there trying to restart ISIS…at WHOSE request…right AFTER Pelosi and Schiff left.
This may be HUGE, it also explains Nancy and Schiff’s NEW urgency to open impeachment up.. AS COVER.
Lastly, Trump said EXPLICITLY that he did NOT tell Pelosi or Schiff, but he DID tell Graham and BURR. Now, Burr is a leaker himself, but HE did NOT go to Jordan. GET IT!
Methinks the coup attempt was NOT enough firepower on Schiff and Pelosi for Trump, to make SURE the meet the business end of that rope, he needed open, abject TREASON , and they GAVE it to him.
One of the LAST things Q said…FISA’s go BOTH ways. Nancy and Schiff have BIG problems. The coup attempts NOW have a MOTIVE besides political. It was ALL bout $$, and Trump now has PROOF. Oh MY! This ALL goes back to Obama…I wrote that the Syrian genocide was ALL about an oil pipeline..and it looks like I was RIGHT. Just did not know that TRAITORS here were skimming that oil…

kalbokalbs

Wow, if nervous Nan was compromised on that trip, it would be spectacular!
Incredibly odd she made that trip in that time frame. Lose ends to shore up maybe? Probably.
So nervous Nan travels on AF aircraft, making it easier to surveillance her dumbasses.
“These people are stoopid”.

It’s another beautiful day in paradise.
I pray that y’all are getting some refreshment in between the massive incoming right now.

phoenixrising37

Thank you T3……………………….
Just what the doctor ordered!
I LOVE this version… beautiful …
I brought this over from Marica’s Prayer Wall:
KJV Matthew 18:18-20
18 Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
19 Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.
20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.comment image

OW21

That is an absolutely beautiful prayer. Thank you! I love it.

phoenixrising37

michaelh

That is great 🙂
I really need a picture with Pastor Brunson’s prayer…

Elizabeth Carter

Wolfmoon,
People often mistake civility with agreement.
Jesus went to dinner with the Pharisees. He told them the truth clearly.
It has never been the calling of a Christian to make a sinner comfortable in their sin.
If we cannot tell the difference between right and wrong then we have no business calling ourselves Christians.
Elizabeth

pgroup

Those of us who believe that the Messiah died and rose again in order to pay the penance for our sins used to be called People of the Word or People of the Book. That is what I use to describe myself – I am a Person of the Book. Since there are too many different kinds of Christians, that designation/name cannot be from God who is not the father of confusion. That other guy is the father of confusion.
This is not a condemnation of Christianity or Christians. It is however a very specific description of MY faith. My faith is the contents of the Book and the lessons it has for us.
I realize this has nothing directly to do with what you posted and I hope you’ll give me a pass for that.

Elizabeth Carter

pgroup,
I agree with what you say. “My faith is the contents of the Book and the lessons it has for us.”
Elizabeth

pgroup

ThanQ. May we all continue to walk in the Light of His Love.

cthulhu

Just from observation……we’re a pretty forgiving bunch.

bakocarl

Yes! Of the Book!
Faith and the Word of God
God gives us faith, the Bible says,
And then we can believe.
For without faith, we all are lost,
Unable to conceive.
It’s by faith in His only Son,
That we can come to God.
We must first all trust in Jesus,
Because we are so flawed.
We won’t meet Jesus in our towns,
Or walking on our roads.
He won’t be fishing in a boat,
Or wheeling heavy loads.
But, you’ll find Him through the Bible
From beginning to end.
Words to read, words to believe,
Words on which to depend.
God has given His Word to us
So that we can all read
That Jesus healed the lepers,
And made the blind men see.
He healed the deaf, and raised the dead,
Proclaimed good news to the poor.
He showed the world He is God’s Son,
That they should look no more.
As we read, God promised us
Our faith will grow and grow,
And He will give us peace and joy,
And set our hearts aglow.

Yes, we’re supposed to get a hard freeze and snow this week. This is definitely early for us.

wheatietoo

Yep, same here…lows in the 20’s this week, which is early for us.

I just carried my potted banana trees inside the (unfinished) sunroom. 33 degrees predicted for tonight.
A friend once pointed out a sure method to identify a true Oklahoman. He said, “Look at them. It’s cold as hell and the real Okies will NOT zip-up their coats.”

Heheh. 😄👍

We still have people walking around in shorts. Not for long, though.

Report: ‘Conan’ Revealed as Name of Hero U.S. Military Dog Critical to ISIS Raid that Killed Baghdadi
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/10/28/report-conan-revealed-as-name-of-hero-u-s-military-dog-critical-to-isis-raid-that-killed-baghdadi/

Linda

POTUS just pinned this great tweet to the top of his timeline!

Deplorable Patriot

She is now the most famous dog in America. I just hope people don’t rush out to get one of these. They are high energy, very smart, and need A LOT of stimulation. The designer mutts who are so popular right now are the same, and the trendy people who have them have no idea what to do with them. Same thing happened with labs 20-25 years ago. It’s going on with Havanese, too. This is how so many end up in shelters.

nikkichico7

I watched a video of someone who rescued a Belgian Malinois, it was withdrawn, and too much trouble for the original owners. This guy started working the dog and it brings tears to my eyes now on how this dog blossomed into the magnificence this breed is … it was wonderful how that dog was rescued …

Teagan

This breed is trained in our area…not necessarily for military but as personal guard dogs for the rich and famous, and children of same. As I’m told, they learn commands in four languages as well as hand signals. As such, they are incredibly expensive…again, I ‘m told around $30,000.
It’s pretty much of a well-kept secret and very little known about the business.

kea

I know what you mean DP. Years ago when the movies came out people all got Dalmatian and Husky dogs. I mean come on people. And look what happened.
I mean I just got a beagle but I know the bred and know they are very smart and the attention a puppy needs one kind of forgets. I’m saying ‘No’ a lot! 😉

Deplorable Patriot

Our Havanese are 12 and almost 13. “No” is a daily command.

kea

To quote Steve Martin,
Well EXQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQs ME 😀

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

So he’s saying he USED to be Q?

ladypenquin

I’m going to drop this here from Ristvan, who wrote in response to another of SD’s DJT is going to be outsmarted, Lawfare is smarter than POTUS, and the folks he has working for him. The responses OT are the pretty much the doom and gloom with only an occasional astute observation. What say you q-Treepers?
ristvan says:
October 28, 2019 at 9:04 pm
“I posted on this on the previous thread, but will do so again here, in more detail.
The exact legal consequences of this proposed Thursday resolution cannot be discerned until the ‘affirm’ resolution language is available tomorrow. BUT much is surmisable.
The current (Intel) committee process has no subpoena power, as Sundance previously explained and I supported legally. Was challenged today in court, so that forced Pelosi’s hand. Done.
Now, if the resolution merely affirms the present process outside House Judiciary committee, established 1813 and chartered with all impeachments, then likely unconstitutional. Well established SCOTUS law that subpoena power pursuant to implied legislative oversight of A1§8 is limited to those powers only. Impeachment is NOT one. So a majority vote in favor of an Irregular process is challengeable. Very grey area: does A1§5.2 trump (pun intended) A1§9.3? Is an ex post facto House rule change explicitly prohibited ‘law’? Twilight zone constitutional law stuff.”
Then there is this, which I agree with. Too many people don’t realize it’s takes 67 Senators for to vote for impeachment AFTER the trial takes place. It’s not going to happen. POTUS’ rights are not going to cease to exist. I do think that Pelosi, Shiffty et al have some serious dirt they’re trying to escape from.

ladypenquin

Chad’s tweet:

ladypenquin

Thanks, Wolfie. Except for Romney, McConnell has what he needs to do follow the course he has set out. RBG kicks the bucket, he’ll get his votes – despite the House crying an “impeached” POTUS can’t confirm SCOTUS. Some of those FOUL House creatures are going to be worrying about their own skins. And Romney? There’s probably dirt somewhere in the financial issues – his attacks on POTUS are out of FEAR, not just dislike.

patfrederick

thanks LP…I always enjoy ristvan’s take on stuff.

ladypenquin

I would not go there except for his input. Hearing every day that we’re going to be defeated is not a way to survive LIFE. We may end up being martyrs to our cause, but I know that eventually, Good beats back Evil.

patfrederick

i’m actually surprised he hasn’t been banned yet OT…he does seem to try to prop back up the sky is falling rhetoric SD spouts a lot lately…

zorrorides

Howdy Pat, there’s at least once, about two weeks ago, (I’n not very good at ‘telling time’) that Sundance used Ristvan as an authoritative source in one of Sundance’s articles.
Pretty sure I didn’t just dream this up, preponderance of memory sez it happened.
Ristvan has been there and done that and won at such high levels, but you can talk with him. (In comments) Even super capable folks have the same hard troubles the rest of us do. We need to pray for each other always, and don’t think we have anyone here who doesn’t need our help.

patfrederick

agreed…there’s a wonderful prayer wall at Marica’s site where posters can add requests for prayers and update the prayer wall too. I go there daily to read and pray…you don’t have to post either if you don’t want to…

Deplorable Patriot

I swear the people over there must down anti-depressants at double dose rates, the crepe hanging is so thick. I couldn’t stand it. My seasonal affective modiness is bad enough, those people wallow in it.
No thanks.

ladypenquin

Thank you, DP! It’s bad enough that someone writes a defeatist article – and yes, I’m saying there’s being realistic without peppering in doom and gloom. Too many of the commenters over lack knowledge – believing the Senate vote is a sure thing – it takes 67 votes! That’s not going to happen! McConnell has his caucus tight. He knows what Romney is. Even Collins and Murkowski came through on Kavanaugh. OT folks are seeing everything through a narrow prism – totally neglecting the fact that a number of these bombastic Dems, appearing to wield power over POTUS, are not only going to be outed, they’re going to be hiring lawyers. MSM too.
Despair is a sin. Giving your enemy power over you that they DO NOT have is a close to the same thing. If we ride into battle believing they’re going to get us – they will! No, we ride into battle with moves, and countermoves. Strategy and planning. For all we know, POTUS and his trusted team have details from their conspiracy that will turn our hair gray. 🙂
POTUS does have this.

andyocoregon

As it’s Halloween Week, I’ve been watching selected horror movies on DirecTV. At this moment I’m watching a very old movie released in 1971 called “The Brotherhood of Satan”. It stars Strother Martin, L.Q. Jones, Charles Bateman and several other great actors.
It is of course a very campy movie with a somewhat violent storyline, but still is worth watching IMO. It’s the first horror movie I’ve seen with Strother Martin as the #1 evil character. He played the part very well.

patfrederick

I’ll take your word for it…

andyocoregon

Too late. You missed it. It’ll be another 50 years before it shows again on TV. 😉

patfrederick

YAY

andyocoregon

Ah, but there’s always YouTube. You know you secretly want to watch it. 😉

patfrederick

oh but I really don’t.
I watched The Fog (Adrienne Barbeau version) when it first came out. Now it would be recognized as cheesy, cheesy, cheesy…but back then? it scared the crap out of me—and I lived close enough to my work to walk (about a mile and a half). On foggy mornings, I was a BASKET CASE!!!! lol

andyocoregon

Hey, what’s that hiding under your bed? And it’s moving!

patfrederick

it’s cool…I got boxes under the bed…but when fog rolls in…coming up our driveway…it still freaks me out.

andyocoregon

Boo!

patfrederick

okay…I don’t scare THAT easily…close tho

Cuppa Covfefe

“The Haunting” (the original, 1961 or so) is pretty good for a scare…
There’s also “The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T.”, helpful for recalcitrant piano students 🙂

patfrederick

The Haunting? is that the one about the family that moves to Connecticut (?) to be closer to the son’s doctors (he has cancer)? and then a demon in the house possesses him?
we have that on dvd…that was chilling…

patfrederick

disgusting…

ladypenquin

Still have to catch up on threads, but worth getting this into today’s readings. Sidney Powell’s tweets noting that Judge Sullivan CANCELLED (not postponed) the upcoming hearing (for more oral arguments) is a likely a good thing. Ristvan notes it means the Judge has enough to rule (remember her comprehensive brief she gave him, and the GOV. said, we don’t have to do anymore…).
ristvan says:
October 28, 2019 at 7:09 pm
“Posted about this on previous thread. This hearing was NOT postponed. It was CANCELLED. Because of ‘comprehensive previous responses.’ That means Judge Sullivan is ready to rule without further oral argument..
IMO he will rule two things, both as Sidney Powell asked in her most recent filing:
1. Flynn case dismissed with prejudice for prosecutorial misconduct.
2. Prosecutors cited for contempt of court and referred for disbarment..”
ristvan says:
October 28, 2019 at 8:11 pm
“Tried to explain above. Means Sullivan is preparing his written rulingsbased on written responses with no further oral argument needed. How long that takes depends on how detailed and brutal he wants to be. If angered (my guess) and If he also decides to take after Van Grack, will take longer but basically be an irrefutable disbarment memo.
SWAG given all else going on, his ruling appears before Nov 7. Sends a big message. And Sidney basically already wrote his ruling for him. As any good attorney would.”

wheatietoo

Excellent.
Thanks, LadyP!
I hadn’t caught that the hearing had been ‘cancelled’…instead of postponed.
That has to be significant!
😀

ladypenquin

Yes, I wandered into the article headlined, “Postponed” but Sidney’s tweets indicate “Cancelled” – BIG difference. I’m not a lawyer, but have 3 siblings who are, so I think my mind works that way, and it makes sense that he didn’t need anymore Oral arguments on her plea to the Court. Notice that the government didn’t submit anything except to stand by what they’d already submitted regarding Brady material. That’s kind of a “Tough, too bad, we’re not giving you anything else.” Decent Judges like to see a little cooperation from both sides when there’s adversarial issues. Powell did all the Judge’s work for him. Laid it all out. Judge doesn’t have to do anything but cut and paste. LOL.

kalbokalbs

Awesome!
Dismissed with prejudice, deservedly so.
Prosecutors pounced on, a good start.
Disbarred MOAR good6.
Would like to see charges against the bastards that broke laws while railroading General Flynn. Serious jail time and huge fines.
– IF these bastards are not significantly punished, it’ll only happen again and again.

ladypenquin

Conspiracy, manufacturing evidence, entrapment, coercing a plea – blackmail, and just think about the monies moved around to finance what they did…

Steve in Lewes

…and coupled with a scathing IG report would pave the way for suing the govt for civil rights violation with yuuge monetary damages for Patriot Flynn; perhaps go after Comey, McCabe, others personally and garner some of that payback/book tour money the idiot lefties showered on traitors!
Now wouldn’t that be a kick in the ass!

Thank you, Wayne Dupree…for calling them “monsters”.

And yes, our VSG is really forcing them to drop their masks.

TheseTruths

They do not live by principles; they live by political ideology and the religion of self-deity. If endangering the psyche of children is wrong, then it’s wrong when a cross-dresser does it. If you love your country, you will rejoice at the demise of her enemies. If you support homosexuals, you will decry the practices of Islam. If you support women, you will rail against men competing in women’s sports. If you support “working families,” you will be glad when they have jobs and get to keep more of their money.
If you support freedom, you support America and do not try to fundamentally transform her. Leftists do not believe in America’s founding principles.

pgroup

I do not support homosexuals. I do not support Islam. I find no inconsistency with those two positions. I do believe that your comment needs some adjustment.
Unless you were trying to trick people into joining the queer camp. /s

TheseTruths

I’m not talking about patriots; I’m talking about Leftists who claim to support certain groups and causes, and then purposely harm said groups because they do not stand on principle. For example, Hollywood, which is so pro-gay, should be talking against the practices of Islam, but they are not.

So – Comey is running off to New Zealand.
Does he think Hillrotten and Øbastard can’t get him there?
The USA does have extradition treaty with New Zealand. Must not be much of an FBI agent not to realize that.
Plus – NZ is right in the Ring of Fire – a whole lot of shaking going on!!!

I think POTUS demonstrated how the US deals with enemies of the state…no where for him to run!!!

Muslim students making demands OR they will “FORCE” the chancellor to resign..who do these punks think they are?
FTA
Campus Reform“Concerns were raised about a recent presentation with anti-Semitic content at a staff development program by a Housing student-worker,” reads the email from UIUC Chancellor Robert Jones, obtained by Campus Reform. Jones was referencing a presentation given to a full-time staff member and 11 other student-employees.
After describing this and a swastika allegedly found in a campus building, the chancellor announced that full-time housing staff, multicultural advocates, and resident advisors would be required to complete anti-Semitism training.
In response, the SJP released a list of demands, calling for, among other items, a new mass email making a distinction between anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism, a clarification in the email that the referenced student presentation did not feature anti-Semitism, the hiring of additional Palestinian faculty, and the requirement for housing personnel to be educated on “Islamophobia, anti-Blackness, queerphobia, and other forms of racism/bias.”

Democrats Draft Plan to Import Huge Numbers of ‘Climate Refugees’
Democrat legislators have drafted a bill to import at least 50,000 “climate refugees” per year despite the damaging impact on Americans’ wages and rents.
“America will continue to stand tall as a safe haven for immigrants,” declared Rep. Nydia Velázquez (D-NY), who was born in Puerto Rico and chairs the House Committee on Small Business.

patfrederick

well…no polar bears for sure…their numbers are INCREASING…
FTA
You probably won’t be seeing too many polar bears in the mainstream media anymore now that the climate brigade has decided to drop the furry arctic animal from its propaganda lineup.
The reason, as we recently reported, has to do with the fact that, contrary to the prevailing climate narrative, polar bear numbers are increasing, not decreasing.
In other words, despite the alleged pandemic of “global warming” and melting polar ice caps, polar bears are doing just fine – so well, in fact, that in some areas hunters are being encouraged to kill more of them in order to thin out their population numbers.
Hilariously, The Guardian (U.K.) actually made a formal announcement about the removal of polar bears from its climate change propaganda, insisting that it’s more effective to use people rather than animals in conveying the “climate emergency.”

“Democrats are communists. Pass it on.”
Your comment led me to ask myself a question that I find to be interesting. Why did the Communists primarily choose the Democrat Party to infiltrate? I imagine sometime in the 1940s and 1950s that the Communists began to formalize their strategic plan to infiltrate the American political system to gain influence and ideological allegiance. What observed characteristics made the Democrats the logical and pragmatic choice? The Communists must have concluded that Democrat politicians were more morally and ethically ‘pliable’. Of course, it is my personal belief that 90% of all American politicians of any stripe are more ‘pliable’ than the average American citizen. That opinion being assumed I find the devolution of the Democrat Party over the last 50 years to be stunning. I do not believe that it is possible to classify them as a traditional American political party any longer. They are, at the very least, clearly not aligned with the interests and concerns of the American citizen. I think the events of the past 4 years make it obvious they have attempted an overt overthrow of the Republic. At this point, it does not seem to be debatable. I could go on but I am sure others on this board have given it serious thought. Wolf sometimes you channel my inner detective.

MAGA Mom

MUCH earlier. 1880s and 1890s. Look at colleges at that time period. Look at protestant movements at that time. By 1900s socialism well established in dem party. Comminism quickly followed immidiately in the 20s. FDR in the 1939s etc. Socialism and Marxism began in 1800s. Many Quickly adopted communism. Others felt Communism was a preverssion but communists easily infilterat3d and then guided socialist groups including Dems.
Animal farm was not anti socialst but about how communists perverted socialism. 😲

smiley2

the Republican party was always known as the WASP party (White, Anglo-Saxon Protestant)…and wealthy (ie capitalists )….and they were anathema to Communism ….so the Democrat party was the easier one to infiltrate….and the Dem base was the easier one to organize politically.

..and don’t forget Woodrow Wilson …and the beginning of the Progressive Movement .

socaristobo

I was not speaking of Communism as an ideology but as the expression of the policy of a Communist state. If I remember my history correctly that would be Russia in 1917. I understand that the ideology has roots in the 19th century with Marx and that individuals would be attracted as is always the case with new ideas. But to become an official strategy of a state’s foreign policy would have come much later than the late 1800s. That is why I placed it post WWII. By that time the Russian state was mature enough to enact a detailed long range policy objective with respect to Western democracies. China would have been still evolving as a Communist state and probably would have began its longterm strategy post-Nixon. As to the Socialist tendencies in American politics in the Roosevelt era I would consider them more internal efforts of Communist sympathizers and fellow travelers and primarily Soviet targeting of political parties

GC, stayed up tonight until your prayer time, just to let you know your prayers are working.
I stopped my significant others specialist psychiatrist anxiety disorder drug regime last month, because for the second time in four years was failing after increased doses. Spent much recent time on line researching, and found a small but valid Chinese clinical study showing a tumeric spice extract (curcuminoids) was as good as more potent versions of her prescribed SSRI equivalents. So switched. Is working.
She is enough better after one month (now getting up mornings for breakfast, able to take dog out by herself afternoons) that we will be going to my townhome in Chicagoland for the first time in two years for a few days to visit son and granddaughter in their new home, and to pick up some ski stuff, then on to Colorado for Thanksgiving with two grandsons and a day of early skiing with them (well, they will think that even tho they are still too young to be on the big slopes with me and my expert daughter and her wonderful husband).
So your prayers have literally been answered. God bless you and all Treepers.

Dutch authorities this week arrested an alleged former commander of the Syrian militant group Ahrar al-Sham on suspicion of having committed war crimes.
Police arrested the 29-year-old Syrian man was arrested on Tuesday in a center for asylum seekers in the north of the Netherlands, Reuters reported.
He is accused of acting as a commander for extremist militant group Ahrar al-Sham, which operates in the northwest of wartorn Syria.
While the group is not recognised as such by the United Nations or European Union, Ahrar al-Sham was designated a terrorist group earlier this year by a criminal court in Rotterdam….
The unnamed man is accused of war crimes for posing with the body of an enemy fighter and kicking another corpse during fighting in Hama in 2015, the public prosecutor’s office said on Friday….
The suspect registered himself at the asylum seekers’ center earlier this month, but had already been flagged by the German authorities after registering briefly as an asylum seeker there four years ago.
He is also suspected of appearing in a YouTube video, singing to celebrate the deaths of fighters and “referring to them as dogs”.

The basic message is we no longer need troops on the ground to get the job done.
The military industrial complex is not going to like that.

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

This is an important point.
For decades now, we’ve had the ability to go anywhere on Earth, quickly (maybe not overnight but quickly) and be able to support our troops “over there” (wherever “there” might be) long enough to get their job done.
The Soviet Union in its heyday couldn’t do that. No one else could come close except (maybe) the UK. (They were able to travel 10,000 miles to kick Argentina’s ass in the Falklands War.)
That was a BIG advantage that never showed up when someone did a side-by-side comparison of the US and Soviet militaries and found we were “behind.”

Seb Gorka doing the book thing, and this one looks like it may be worth reading.
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/10/28/exclusive-excerpt-sebastian-gorkas-the-war-for-americas-soul-the-plotters-and-their-plan-to-destroy-america/
Exclusive Excerpt–Sebastian Gorka’s ‘The War for America’s Soul’: The Plotters and Their Plan to Destroy America
“America and her allies may have defeated the deadly, totalitarian regimes of national socialism and fascism in World War II and communism in the Cold War, but neither ideology is dead. In fact, communism is very, very much alive today. And I am not referring to China, North Korea, or Cuba. Yes, they are all Communist regimes, which have survived the fall of the Berlin Wall and the Soviet Union. What I am talking about is the Communist and socialist threat inside America, a threat that has internalized key elements of fascism to boot. We may have won the Cold War with the Soviet Union and its slave satellites, but thirty years later, the internal threat from those who wish to dismantle our nation from the inside is greater than it has been since the Civil War.”….
[a lot more of the excerpt at Breitbart]
“Here we could spiral down a rabbit hole of historic investigation, but I will be as succinct and as operational as I can be, mindful of the fact that all you need right now are the most pertinent facts that will arm you in your political fight to support the Make America Great Again agenda and help secure the future of our nation.
“As before, I owe a debt of gratitude to the late, great Andrew Breitbart and his autobiography Righteous Indignation, chapter six of which is the most cogent description of how the crazy Leftists plotted—and succeeded—to capture American politics and culture. Please read Andrew’s story for yourself after you have finished with this book. In the meantime, here is a summary of how the New Left plotted to capture America’s soul, and almost totally succeeded before the outsized outsider from Queens ran for president and defeated them—at least temporarily.
“The fundamentals are clear enough. The New Left in America can trace its genetic roots back to Jean-Jacques Rosseau, who almost single-handedly upended centuries of Western philosophical and theological wisdom.
“Instead of believing that man is fallen, fatally flawed, and prone to selfishness and evil, Rousseau denied the reality of thousands of years of human history and posited that man was inherently good and that his “goodness” could be maximized if we turned away from the idea of individual rights, liberties, and duties, and instead focused on the communal “will of the people” where the good of the whole would outweigh that of the individual, and we could socially engineer a better society. Rousseau’s vision was central to Karl Marx’s subsequent development of the collectivist ideology of communism.”
DP comment: this one does look interesting, at least to me, looking at how philosophy is used to shift cultures.

Deplorable Patriot

Here’s another couple paragraphs that are whetting the appetite:
“No, seriously, this garbage is what Karl Marx sold with his books Das Kapital and The Communist Manifesto. And, incredibly, some people believed this rubbish. So much so that they used it as a blueprint to sabotage and subvert multiple nations around the world, starting with Tsarist Russia and stretching all the way to Cuba and China. But then there was a problem. For all their attempts to try and effect a Communist revolution in Western Europe and the United States, Marx’s followers failed. And, as Andrew Breitbart points out in his book, America was an especially tough nut for Marx’s followers to crack because of how our nation was born. Our Founding Fathers knew full well that man is fallen and tends toward the selfish and the bad. They understood the necessity of having a government with checks and balances and a separation of powers. And they bequeathed us a written constitution founded not on some absurd utopian collectivist vision of society, but built upon the recognition of the unalienable God-given rights we possess, including the rights guaranteed to us by the Bill of Rights. America has had “progressive” presidents and liberal presidents, but it has remained a staunchly unsocialist Republic. Marx’s disciples, however, aren’t ready to sur- render. This is where the influence of a hunchback Italian cripple comes in.
“Antonio Francesco Gramsci is the ideational grandfather to all that threatens modern America and our freedoms today, from Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s Green New Deal to the violence of Antifa. His writings, penned in an Italian prison cell, would be leveraged by the Hungarian Jewish writer and politician, Gyorgy Lukacs, each sharing the conviction that communism had failed in established Western democracies—as opposed to the backward and mostly peasant society of Tsarist Russia—because these societies are too resilient and too developed. For Marxism to flourish in the rest of Europe and America, these “bourgeois” societies must be dismantled piece by piece. From the inside. The New Left took that realization and from it fashioned a political platform that now forms the Democrat Party’s articles of belief: from Obamacare’s unprecedented intrusion into private healthcare choices to the anti-scientific insanity of transgenderism and beyond. This isn’t a random accusation, devoid of context, an accusation floating in space. The path from Gramsci and Lukacs to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ilhan Omar can be mapped historically, geographically, and institutionally.”

A Fortiori

Thanks for posting this DP. Gorka’s interview with Candice Owen that was posted here yesterday was excellent. I see Gorka’s book as part of a broader effort to confront the rot in our society, planning for the possibility that PDJT succeeds in his efforts to free us from the cabal.
I see, for example, Mark Levin’s book Unfreedom of the Press and Rand Paul’s comments cited here today about the press not confronting communism, Bill Barr’s speech on how our founders used the term self government to encourage citizens to govern themselves so as to obviate the need for government to do so, and now this book dealing with the communist infestation of our country. In all of these cases, Rouseau’s notion that people should subsume their will to the collective good is being denigrated, and support is provided for the idea of a free self governing citizen who neither needs nor wants governmental institutions that control, manipulate and regulate his actions.

pgroup

The entire purpose of our revolution was that people should govern themselves as far as possible, and that govt was for those areas that were impossible to self-govern (such as sovereignty of the country, military, etc.).
So I would posit that without self-government (common law) we have no country. Instead we have a territory ripe for takeover. And so it is today – we are resisting a takeover.

show of hands…who thinks Schumer somehow gets a kickback from the auto industry with this?
FTA
According to the Associated Press, the Senate minority leader is “proposing a $462 billion trade-in program to get millions of Americans out of climate-damaging gas vehicles and into electric or hybrid cars over the next decade.” The scheme would dole out “thousands of dollars” to every U.S. consumer who trades in their gasoline-burning car for an electric, hybrid or hydrogen cell car built in America.
A portion of that stunning sum, $17 billion, would be handed out to automakers, which are expected in return to “increase their production of electric cars, batteries and parts.” The carmakers will happily take the dollars, and the green lobby will approvingly nod. But the giveaway is an acknowledgment that consumer demand for EVs is so low the government has to pay off the industry to try to force technological advancement that is not being demanded by its customers, and can’t be rushed anyway simply by chasing it with taxpayers’ money. This is not the way policy should be made in America.
Other people’s money is no object in Washington, so Schumer is willing spend lavishly “to bring clean cars to all of America.” Therein, however, lies the “dirty” truth about electric vehicles and hybrids. Battery cars are not “zero emissions” automobiles any more than big-block V-8s from Detroit’s pre-catalytic converter era are.

Electric cars have no range…no freedom to go cross-country.

People there are having to use generators…which run on gas, fossil fuel…just to survive.
We are now the No. 1 producer of oil and gas…and Schumer wants to get rid of gas-burning cars?!

patfrederick

AND all those electric cars plug into power stations that have been powered by? fossil fuels! oh the irony…
more from the article above…
Unless an EV receives 100% of its charge from a home or business that is 100% powered by renewable energy, it is not a zero-emissions vehicle. Charging stations and residential chargers are necessarily wired to power plants that use fossil fuels to generate electricity. The exceptions to this are almost zero.
Yet even those exceptions don’t magically turn EVs into zero-emissions vehicles. Carbon dioxide and real pollutants are generated along the course of EV production, from the extraction of raw materials used to build the cars to moving those resources to factories.
“Even before their tires hit asphalt,” says the Pacific Research Institute, “they are belching emissions. Building a Tesla Model S P100D, for example, produces more than 12,000 kilograms of carbon dioxide equivalent, according to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. This includes emissions discharged in the mining and transportation of rare earths needed to produce electric cars’ hulking batteries.

Deplorable Patriot

And they’ll probably want to turn off natural gas, too. That’s the one nice thing about having a mix. The power goes out, at least we have hot water. And there is a work around for digital thermostats. Now that gas stoves are digital – that’s a problem. Can’t hand light it.

zorrorides

Ahh deplorable Pat. T Y. The electric grid is totalitarian control. Gas service is distributed autonomy.
With natural gas service to the home it’s possible to always have hot water, even without electricity. It’s possible to have old-style indoor gas lighting. Natural gas can be burned in freestanding room heaters or heaters built into walls or floors. Gas can circulate liquids or steam for radiant heating. Natural gas can be connected to a home generator to create electricity. Your oven and frying pan cook with gas.. Natural gas is delivered safely in pipes buried underground. With few moving parts, gas is simpler and safer than electricity.
Natural gas can be used in a central-heat furnace to warm the home in cold weather when there is electricity to power the fan. Natural gas can take the place of freon for refrigerators, freezers and air conditioning. Months of gas service can be delivered and stored in an onsite container. With an all-electric house or apartment, residents will be forced to leave home after a shut-off signal is sent to their Smart Meter.
Natural gas can be compressed in your own garage to refill your CNG car’s gas tank overnight.
America has the earth’s largest supplies of natural gas.

At the risk of sounding like a lunatic, I will continue to get on my soap box about this topic.
The plan is to end our ability to drive. The plan is to move us to cars controlled by software, so that we no longer control our cars.
This is not about the environment. When you consider the environmental effects of making new vehicles and to dispose of old ones, it is far better for the environment to keep older cars on the road.
This is not about reducing traffic fatalities. We will kill more people on the roads working out the kinks in the software than die today in traffic accidents.
This is not about economics. Throwing away the massive infrastructure we have built to extract, refine and distribute oil based fuels is a monumental waste, not to mention the waste associated with discarding functional motor vehicles. America will be poorer in the future if we go down this path.
The people behind this have the wind at their backs. We need to take the wind out of their sails.

Does Salvini still have a shot at PM?
“Italy is hardly a stranger to financial horrorshows. Whether it’s fiscal mismanagement, blundering centuries-old banks loaded down with bad loans, a federal government too deep in the red, fears of a populist-backed parallel currency or the shadowy tendrils of the mafia tainting the country’s agri-export business.
And now, what appears to be serious financial corruption scandal has found a direct line to the Quirinal Palace.
So, what exactly is going on? Well, yesterday, the FTreported that a Vatican-backed investment fund that is under investigation by the Vatican authorities had hired Italian PM Giuseppe Conte to negotiate a deal.
Just weeks before Conte took office (for the first time), Conte,  then a  little-known Florence-based academic, was hired in May 2018 to provide a legal opinion in favour of Fiber 4.0, a shareholder group involved in a fight for control of Retelit, an Italian telecoms company.
The biggest investor in Fiber 4.0 was the Athena Global Opportunities Fund, which was constituted entirely by $200 million from the Vatican Secretariat. The Fund was owned and operated by Raffaele Mincione, an Italian financier.
The news of Conte’s involvement will likely attract more scrutiny of the Fiber 4 deal from the Vatican police. In fact, Conte’s involvement wasn’t widely known until the police raided the all-powerful Vatican’s Secretariat of State, the Church’s most powerful centralized bureaucracy and the source of all the financing for the Fiber 4.0 deal.”

Shoe repair told me that their shoes are sewn with COTTON thread. IOW, crap that will fall apart. He sews with polyester. So much for a “better” brand for kids. Next time he needs shoes Im hitting a sale and buying 2 or 3 pairs but not New Balance.

pgroup

Allow me to tell you that’s a bad idea (switching brands) without giving the company an opportunity to make it right. I’m willing to bet that if you told them the same tale you told here, you’d get at least one free pair (and maybe more). Most companies will go to ridiculous lengths to make a customer happy should a complaint be made. The last thing the company wants is to have you telling people that the product is no good.
Try it. You can always switch brands later. And New Balance is made in USA.

gil00

They arent made in the USA. All the new balance shoes he has are made in Indonesia. My single pair is made in Vietnam.
I did contact them already . They offered a $20 discount. I had to get the current pair on sale plus a free shipping offer to be worth the discount .
I wishbthey did made them in the U.S.

Deplorable Patriot

I’m all for replacing the income tax with some sort of flat sales tax, but 42%?
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/the-democratic-plan-for-a-42-national-sales-tax-202549219.html
The Democratic plan for a 42% national sales tax
If you’re a Democrat who supports “Medicare for All,” pick your poison. You can ruin your political career and immolate your party by imposing a ruinous new sales tax, a gargantuan income tax hike or a surtax on corporate income that would wreck thousands of businesses.
This is the cost of bold plans.
Supporters of Medicare for All, the huge, single-payer government health plan backed by Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren and several other Democratic presidential candidates, say it’s time to think big and move to a health plan that covers everyone. Getting there is a bit tricky, however. A variety of analyses estimate that Medicare for All would require at least $3 trillion in new spending. That’s about as much tax revenue as the government brings in now. So if paid for through new taxes, federal taxation would have to roughly double.
The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget (CRFB) has done voters a favor by spelling out what kinds of new taxes it would take to come up with that much money. Warren justifies many of her programs by saying all it would take is “two cents” from the wealthy. That’s a reference to her 2% wealth tax on ultra-millionaires. But Medicare for All would be so expensive that if you taxed top earners at 100%—that’s right, if you took all the income of couples earning more than $408,000 per year—you’d still fall far short. And everybody getting taxed at 100% would obviously stop working.
Okay, that won’t do it. So what will? CRFB outlined a variety of options. A 42% national sales tax (known as a valued-added tax) would generate about $3 trillion in revenue. But it would destroy the consumer spending that’s the backbone of the U.S. economy. A tax of that magnitude would be like 42% inflation, wrecking consumer budgets and the many companies that depend on them, from Walmart and Amazon to your local car dealer.

socaristobo

An additional consideration is that all the people on government assistance would no longer be able to afford basics and thus the level of assistance would be raised significantly. That would inflate government spending and negate any theoretical advantage to a sales tax system. I am sure most legislatures would take a cue from Congress and solve the problem by exempting such citizens from paying the tax. Once again the full weight of government taxation would fall on the working middle class pushing it further toward extinction.

A Fortiori

It is extremely unlikely we would accept a VAT in the US. The inflation problem you mention is only part of this.
There has been a general political consensus for the past 50 years in the US that taxes should amount to roughly 19% of GDP. Imposition of a VAT would violate that consensus, and large numbers of people who study this stuff believe that it would be difficult to restrain the overall level of taxation if a VAT were deployed.
There is a massive generational problem with moving to a VAT as well, regardless of the rate. Retirees spent their entire working lives paying income taxes, with the understanding that as they moved into their retirement years they would be mostly finished paying taxes. A VAT would violate this bargain, which retirees depended upon for decades.
The implementation costs of an entirely new type of tax would be massive too. These costs include not only the costs of setting up systems, training personnel and hiring accountants, the costs also include the myriad of ways in which business practices would change so as to attempt to reduce the burdens of the tax. And because these implementation costs do not add value to the process of extracting, growing, or manufacturing products and/or providing services, they would be a massive drag on economic growth.

Deplorable Patriot

I rail on the concept of VAT all the time. My self-published books are available world wide, and I do have readers in at least 15 other countries. When the sales tables update, the very first thing is taken out is the VAT. This is MY earnings going to governments of other countries. In Denmark, it’s like 20%.
Fortunately, the profit is still mostly over 50% of the sale price after the retailer and distributor cuts are taken out, but a VAT in no was spurs innovation and self-driven productivity, that’s for sure.
And, yeah, it would not work here.

Deplorable Patriot

no way.
I need lunch.

pgroup

Well, that’s pretty unfair. Why should you get stuck for that? Seems like the EU distributor should be responsible. Let the distributor pass the cost on to the customer.
I’d file a complaint with the WTO for a refund. No, I am not joking.

Deplorable Patriot

You do have the option to add the VAT onto your price, but it makes the pricing look very weird, and overseas the people can tell.
No, it is not fair for a producer in ANY country to have to pay a VAT to a government that is not theirs. Given the number of countries that are EU, I’m assuming all of it is in trade agreements that were in place before the Trump Administration. My message to the White Hats is please, somehow, negotiate us out of this. It’s not the distributor that is the issue. It’s the treaties.

A Fortiori

In theory, the value associated with the distribution of your book in the foreign country should be subject to their VAT. That value is both created and realized in the foreign jurisdiction. In practice, the mechanics capture not only the distribution profit, but also the profit from your efforts to create and the profits from your efforts to manufacture copies of the book. Foreign countries know that this is effectively a protectionist feature of the VAT.
I don’t know a lot of the detail (I could find this pretty quickly if need be), but I know this has been an issue between the US and various European countries with VATs for a very long time. I suspect PDJT already has this on his list of things to do.

Deplorable Patriot

I sure hope so. I mean fifty cents is fifty cents.

After resuming the conversation, the man gave his reason for refusing to have sex with Cooper: The model still had male genitalia.
In fact, the photographer allegedly bluntly stated, “you have a c—.”
(2) “Cooper compared the act of rescinding the offer to the use of a racial slur.
“This is absolutely f—— disgusting behaviour,” the model said. “No one should be treated like this — this is discriminating and appalling behaviour.”
“This man messaged me saying he wanted to take my picture, have sex with me and film it to make money and then once he found out I was trans he stopped all contact with me.”
Cooper has transitioned between genders multiple times, as discussed in the interview below.”
(3) “I am reporting this as a hate crime,” Cooper continued. “It’s like calling someone who is black the ‘N’ word. I doesn’t matter if I have c— or not. The pictures should be judged as they are.”
“It says on my social media profile that I am a ladyboy, I didn’t ever say that I wasn’t and I thought he knew.”
“I want to be a glamour model and a porn star — that’s what I want to do. I don’t think I should be treated like this.”

interesting…challenging sanctuary policies (states rights) vs immigration enforcement (federal domain). it points out the conflicting rulings–Arizona’s law was struck down which “supplemented” federal law. Now in California, they want to ignore federal law. the administration’s position is if state’s can’t supplement federal law, they can’t interfere with it either…
FTA
The Trump administration has requested that the Supreme Court quash California’s migrant sanctuary law, which prevents state and local law enforcement from cooperating with federal immigration authorities. The California Values Act, otherwise known as SB 54, is currently being disputed as conservatives argue for strong federal power against California liberals making a states-rights defense.

FTA
The New York Times has obtained the opening statement of Lieutenant Colonel Alexander S. Vindman, the top White House expert on Ukraine, who will testify to the House Intelligence Committee on Tuesday about his concerns about President Donald Trump’s telephone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in July.
The statement, leaked to the Times — though committee chair Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) has likened impeachment to a “grand jury” proceeding, which is typically conducted in secrecy — is described by the Times as the first account of someone who actually listened in on the telephone call, as opposed to hearing about it second- or third-hand.
In his statement, Vindman — a Ukrainian-American and decorated Army officer who was awarded the Purple Heart after being wounded by a roadside bomb in Iraq — outlines his own views on “The Geopolitical Importance of Ukraine.” He adds: “The U.S. government policy community’ s view is that the election of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and the promise of reforms to eliminate corruption will lock in Ukraine’ s Western-leaning trajectory.”

“OPINION of a duly-elected President’s foreign policy” . . . and therein lies the crux of this farce. This has no relation to “high crimes and misdemeanors” or an “impeachment inquiry”. This is just some staffer’s thoughts who disagrees with the President’s approach to foreign policy or the foreign policy itself.
And, who knows, perhaps the urgency behind this testimony is that the President is about to uncover Ukraine related skullduggery that involves this person.

FOLLOWING THE SHEPHERD

https://www.ltw.org/search#q=obeying+our+worthy+god
https://www.ltw.org/search#q=obedience+and+surrender
In the midst of those who attack us, we can find joy in the Lord because we have been anointed with the oil of the Holy Spirit. “You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows” (Psalm 23:5). Only our Shepherd can provide us with this Spirit-filled, joyful life that empowers us when our enemies attack. The Bible tells us, “[T]he joy of the Lord is your strength” (Nehemiah 8:10).
We will never lack for anything because our Creator’s goodness and mercy will be our constant companions throughout life and for eternity. “Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever” (Psalm 23:6). This doesn’t mean that we are guaranteed financial wealth, perfect health, or a pain-free life. But our Shepherd knows the deepest needs of our souls, and He alone knows how to fill them.comment image
Our Shepherd is truly like no other—He even gave His own life for us. Jesus tells us, “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep” (John 10:11). Trust Him alone to take care of your safety, your needs, your relationships. He is never off the clock—He is always providing, always caring, and always watching over us. There is no other shepherd that compares to Him. He alone can give us the comfort and restoration that we need.
The sheep’s only responsibility is to follow the shepherd. And our Good Shepherd wants our obedience to Him. If you have been a wayward sheep, surrender to Him today. If you have been a fearful sheep, scared of the wolves that hunt you, give your anxieties to your Shepherd. Not only can He turn our lives around, but He will show us the way—the safe way, the better way, the right way.
Prayer: Shepherd God, thank You for providing for my deepest needs. Help me to be faithful to follow You and to trust You. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen.
“When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd” (Matthew 9:36).

He was a Christmas gift from a close friend after my wolf-dog, Spirit, died (Tom helped me take her to the vet to be put down due to cancer) and it was one of those deals where I had always wanted an Aussie, without realizing the extraordinary energy needs of the breed. He was incredible and so very smart. My friend paid $50 since he wasn’t registered – I placed the ad for $200. I figured that would weed out the worst of the bunch.
An elderly man called me within an hour of the ad placement and asked me to hold him; not half an hour later, his wife called me (unbeknownst to both of them, mind you) to ask me the same. Their long-time Red Merle had passed of cancer recently and they wanted another one. They were at my house (2 hours away) by mid-afternoon and fell in love with Jax instantly.
When I went to visit him, as I was driving up the long hill to get to the house, I could see him standing proudly, head up and in the wind, at the top, surveying his domain and his small herd of donkeys, goats and a couple of horses. He walks the fence line with her every day and thrills their grandchildren. Perfect situation for him.
That was when I cashed their check.

More proof Wiki simply cannot be trusted without double-checking everything.
“As controversy over President Donald Trump’s call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy continues, Wikipedia editors likewise continue their efforts to slant related articles in favor of Democrat talking points. This has included falsely labeling allegations of Ukrainian meddling in the 2016 election in favor of the Democrats as “conspiracy theories” and claiming as fact that Trump used military aid as part of a “quid pro quo” with Ukraine.
Wikipedia editors have also labeled other legitimate concerns about impropriety in the Russia investigation as “conspiracy theories” and created several articles labeling them as such. They have also treated many claims against President Donald Trump and his administration as fact despite being treated only as allegations by the cited sources.”

Kay Ivey signed the Alabama Human Life Protection Act, which criminalizes abortion for any reason other than to “avert (a mother’s) death or to avert serious risk of substantial physical impairment of a major bodily function,” or “if a second physician who is licensed in Alabama as a psychiatrist” diagnoses a “serious mental illness” with a “reasonable medical judgment that she will engage in conduct that could result in her death or the death of her unborn child.”
Planned Parenthood Southeast Advocates and the state chapter of the left-wing American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) went to court to stop the law, and Thompson issued a temporary block on its enforcement on Tuesday, AL.com reports.
“The court is persuaded that the plaintiffs are likely to succeed in showing that the Act violates an individual’s constitutional right to obtain a pre-viability abortion, and thus that it violates her constitutional rights,” he wrote.”
“Our law was designed to overturn Roe v. Wade at the Supreme Court level, and today’s ruling is merely the first of many steps on that legal journey,” Republican state Rep. Terri Collins said in a statement. “I remain confident that our mission will be successful and appreciate the support of millions of citizens who support our effort to preserve unborn life.”
Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall has already declared that he intends to take the case to the Supreme Court.”

As I’ve said before, homeless, stray and injured dogs are tracked down and frequently forcibly rescued. Then they’re cleaned up, given medical care and love. It’s a shame we can’t do this with homeless people in the U.S.
Just like this dog, they fight and resist rehabilitation at first, but then eventually come around to living a far better life.

Laura Loomer’s thoughts on WaPo and other Fake News media…..
Over the weekend, the amazing men of our military pursued and killed the leader of ISIS, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
Most Americans had never heard of Baghdadi until this past weekend. They weren’t aware that this man was simply disgusting, evil, scum that deserved nothing less than what he faced at the hands of our fighting men and women.
This is the man who took 26 year-old American Kayla Mueller as his personal sex slave while directing terrorist activities around the world.
“ScumBagh” Baghdadi would literally crucify his victims, nailing them to a cross to mock Christianity while attempting to spread terror by filming others being burned alive, hacked or stoned to death.
So when President Trump told us of his fate, I was tearfully thankful.
The ScumBagh was chased down a tunnel by our heroic dogs of war as he whimpered and cried, until, like the coward that he was, he blew himself up.
The ScumBagh only killed himself and his own children — so there was no martyrdom. Actually the opposite, as the Quran strictly forbids suicide.
All of America should be thankful for President Trump’s leadership and the professionalism of our fighting forces.
But sadly that’s not the case.
Jeff Bezos’ Washington Post published the headline referring to Baghdadi as an “austere religious scholar” in an attempt to glorify a demon.
And this morning, the Washington Post, in a sick and unnecessary attempt to stir up controversy, pushed to release the identity of the war dog that was injured in the operation.
As with any pedigree dog, they have a trackable lineage that’s likely attached to a family in Germany or the Netherlands (where the vast majority of military working dogs are purchased) — a family that now has to put themselves on high alert because a Leftist reporter in Washington wants to hand their identity over to terrorists.
The Washington Post is nothing more than the American version of Pravda – but in service to socialism.
I support President Trump’s move to cancel all taxpayer dollars going to this publication and will do the same if elected to Congress.
If a copy of the Washington Post were to end up in my Congressional office, I will literally file a complaint against Jeff Bezos for illegal dumping on public land.
Because that’s what I think of the Washington Post – it is trash.

Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden has a brand new Super PAC in his corner, and it’s being run by a registered foreign agent for the government of Azerbaijan. Larry Rasky, a lobbyist who previously worked as a top campaign operative for Biden, is listed as the treasurer of the PAC, according to records filed with the Federal Election Commission (FEC).
“A former Joe Biden aide has filed paperwork to form a super PAC, called Unite the Country, that is set to boost the former vice president with millions of dollars in spending in the 2020 Democratic presidential primary,” Politico reported on Tuesday.

‘The man is currently being questioned by police who say they stopped the same individual from entering the basilica in recent days after he displayed signs of being “unbalanced”, according to ANSA.’

Grassley rips Comey…
FTA
Grassley stated:
The State Department report said: “Instances of classified information being deliberately transmitted via unclassified email were the rare exception and resulted in adjudicated security violations.” That clearly says some individuals deliberately transmitted classified information on unclassified systems. Those individuals were subject to security sanctions but the State Department failed to describe who the violators were and what the sanctions were. Those answers ought to be forthcoming and I intend to follow up. Ensuring the proper handling of highly classified information is an issue that should garner bipartisan support.
snip
Grassley noted that he had recently released a report from the State Department that noted Clinton’s use of a non-government server for government business caused 588 security violations for mishandling classified information. He continued, “If the average American did that, they’d lose their clearance, their job, and might even go to jail.”
snip
Grassley concluded:
Secretary Clinton’s actions caused 588 security violations and highly classified information to be exposed to unclassified systems. Some of those violations were deliberate, but that’s the first we’ve heard of it. The public ought to know if those folks involved were punished according to the letter of the law or were given special treatment. Equal application of the law without regard to power, party, or privilege ought to be the norm.

Random thought for the day…
What if AG Barr has FISA warrant access to Pelsosi, Schiff, et al….and ALSO all the principals at Lawfare (such as doucher Ben Wittes)?
What if the white hats are simply waiting for the perfect moment to indict and perp-walk key democrats leading the impeachment farce?
Yes, let you mind move along those lines for a moment. Enjoy the possibilities you can think of. Remember…

Magic Decoder Translation: IDF > IRAN

LM

I am currently engulfed in attempting to understand the blackness of what I am up against in terms of what is influencing certain beloved family members who have embraced leftist ideology and turned from Christianity to secularism after completing elite secondary education…..and the therapy which accompanied it.
I posted yesterday abut the influence of Brock Chisholm on our mental health system and on education.
Meet Robert Muller (excerpt below copied from Wiki) and note his UNESCO prize:
“Dr. Muller began working at the United Nations just as it was forming. He devoted the next 40 years of his life behind the scenes at the United Nations, focusing his energies on nurturing a better world, including working for the environment, economics and peace. He was instrumental in the conception of many multilateral bodies, including the UN Development Programme, the World Food Programme, the UN Population Fund, and the World Youth Assembly.[5] He rose through the ranks at the UN to the official position of Assistant Secretary-General and served under three Secretaries-General.
Robert Muller created a “World Core Curriculum”[6] that earned him the UNESCO Prize for Peace Education in 1989”
Except below is copied from: https://www.alt-market.com/articles/3651-luciferianism-a-secular-look-at-a-destructive-globalist-belief-system
“Former UN directors like Robert Muller were tied closely with Lucis Trust and the work of Alice Baily and openly promote luciferianism. Muller was central to the UN’s global education policies for children and formed numerous branch agencies with the intent of global governance. You can read Robert Muller’s white papers on the formation of a global government on his website Good Morning World.
Luciferians approach global governance like they do everything else – with heavy propaganda spin. Muller argues that the goal must be pitched to the public through the idea of “protecting the Earth”. In other words, he believed environmentalism was the key to convincing the masses of the need for total centralization of power into the hands of globalist institutions”
What is “lucis trust”?
Excerpt below copied from https://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/sociopolitica/esp_sociopol_lucytrust04.htm:
“The Lucis Trust
The Lucis Trust is the Publishing House which prints and disseminates United Nations material. It is a devastating indictment of the New Age and Pagan nature of the UN.
Lucis Trust was established in 1922 as Lucifer Trust by Alice Bailey as the publishing company to disseminate the books of Bailey and Blavatsky and the Theosophical Society. The title page of Alice Bailey’s book, ‘Initiation, Human and Solar’ was originally printed in 1922, and clearly shows the publishing house as ‘Lucifer Publishing CoIn 1923.’”
My thoughts:
As I confront the ideas of global environmental control, open borders, nothing is evil as long as it is not hurting anyone, there are many paths to God, or not….whatever, I have found it helpful to realize what I am up against.
As a result of dawning realization of the enormity of the assault on civilization these ideas have had, the words of Q and of AG Barr take on even greater meaning. We are in a battle of good vs. evil.
A similar realization, I hope, will impress itself upon Christians alerted to this and help them safeguard their families.
❤️

Linda

Remember when Q said “they all worship Satan?” This has been going on a very long time. Unfortunately, American Christians are totally oblivious to it.

LM

I was one of those who were oblivious.
Even with the warnings of Q I dismissed it as only involving a few people but thought that most people were drawn to the left because of their tolerance and even celebration of ideas which most Christians stay away from…such as abortion.
I didn’t realize where a lot of those ideas came from….not really.
Now I see the toxic effect of all of this hurting huge segments of our society as well as individual loved ones who are unaware of its roots and larger purpose. In an effort to be a “good person” they embrace leftism but do not know what they are dealing with.
Now I am seeing with newunderstanding why Q, the President, and AG Barr are addressing this and bringing it to light.

Just a quick PSA for those who lament the loss of clean Americana in entertainment offerings, mostly the ladies. My sister challenged me to watch one (okay, we watched three) Hallmark Channel Christmas marathon movies…. (Okay, there’s Bingo and a drinking game involved.)
Yeah, talk about nostolgic Americana. I wouldn’t watch too many in a row as teeth will begin to rot, but I’m having so much fun identifying how many classic plot lines and fairy tales – including all of Jane Austen’s classics – they can cram into one movie. Most are set in small towns, the sort that have a main street and lots of wildlife, and really do push the message of family over too much work, and DAMMIT, put the phone away. They are perfectly clean, both in language and situation. The sets are just beautiful, totally the sort of Americana that you just don’t see so much any more. And the actors…most are familiar faces who disappeared from the typical Hollywood fare. I watched one the other day which featured Jean Smart as a fairy godmother who told the tale of God sending the sleigh three times (old joke). God is not completely removed. Candace Cameron is a regular. It’s the American version of K-pop, and full of fairy tales, but pretty feel good stuff.

Deplorable Patriot

And one other thing…as a musician…December is, um, to an extent, hell on earth for us. The magic of Christmas is a lot of work, a lot of time spent in rehearsal. I have three BIG Masses to sing in 20 hours with 30 minutes of prelude to sing for two of them, and at least two solos this year. Christmas day after the morning Mass, I typlically have a couple martinis and crash.
So, please, love your local musicians around the holidays. We’re all exhausted.
