The Problem with Sanders Field Organizers.

James O’Keefe, III, has done it again.

Those Gulags weren’t that bad…….. and that Kulak genocide, those 5 million people, yeah……. Probably wasn’t as bad as we thought it was. WHAT??????????????

Mason Baird is the guy with the nose ring. He stutters, is slightly effeminate, but dreams of big strong union guys, and a militant labor movement, leading a revolution akin to 1917 overthrow of the Tsar Nicholas. Problem is, union guys aren’t stupid. Donald Trump is on their side, and they KNOW the Dems and former union leaders cast aside the workers for personal gain. They’re increasingly Trump voters.

It wouldn’t be Mason in the midst of the fight, cuz he’s a little squeamish about killing people. Yet, as Mason says, if we outlaw landlords, “We don’t have to kill them.”

WHAT?

Where are Mason’s parents? This young man is a danger to himself and far too easily led. He’s clearly not thinking for himself.

Mason seems to be one of the guys who wants to “do the prep work before the capitalists got hip to what we were doing”. Ahhhhh, Mason imagines himself as an office guy for the revolution of 2020. Got it.

And Mason doesn’t want a show of force right now, because first they need the Presidency, then a militant labor movement, and THEN they will be so strong that the Trump supporters, half the country, will be intimidated and back down…………… Yeah, right.

Cass Tyson, the elder guy, agrees. Armed struggle is possible…… perhaps unavoidable.

Daniel Taylor, field organizer, likes it when a woman says he has, “fire in his belly”. His
pride is visible. And yes, the movement will continue after Bernie, should he lose, cuz sometimes, ya gotta do what ya gotta do.

Do these people have an FBI file?

Who are these people?

20200128: MAGA/KAG Rally, Wildwood NJ.

We’ve never seen anything like this before. 24 hours before the rally!!!!!!!!

https://twitter.com/johnnagnow/status/1221973160775553025
This was several hours before the Rally begins.

Have you ever been to Cape May/Wildwoods, NJ area? OMGosh, it’s beautiful!!!! Join us as we continue to explore the country via the President’s MAGA Rallies. This week, we visit one of the most scenic spots in all of America, Wildwood, NJ, which is in Cape May County, just a little south of Atlantic City, at the very end of the Garden State Parkway. It just happens to be home to Congressman Jefferson Van Drew, a Democrat who switched his vote and became a Republican during Shampeachment.

From yesterday morning!!!!!!!!!!!
https://twitter.com/Aikens_Josh/status/1221864185572864000

Let’s get oriented a little better on a map. If we look, as the crow flies, Wildwoods is directly east of Washington, DC. The President could take Marine One. This is “old turf” for Citizen Trump from his days of casinos in Atlantic City. He knows the area well AND he well knows how tax policy of Trenton failed Atlantic City.

Yeah, QTreepers could definitely live here, if it weren’t for the high taxes and a crazy governor in Trenton. We should plan to stay a while and explore. Cape May/Wildwoods is where the MIDDLE CLASS went for vacation. The rich from NYC went to the Hamptons. Yes, Wildwoods and Cape May area is perfectly indicative of President Trump and the Deplorables.

The beach here is long, broad, and shallow, perfect for tourist destination
The Boardwalk, new Water Parks, and added attractions bolster summertime fun.

It’s beautiful!

The President’s speech will be at the Wildwoods Convention Center. Surely, the local hotel owners are grateful for the business during the down winter months. To give you an idea how much Wildwoods depends on tourism, listen to this one. The State of NJ has a guideline, one liquor license for every 3K residents. Well, there’s only about 5200 living in Wildwood……. and there are 60 liquor licenses in an area about the size of one square mile. In the summertime, Wildwoods populations swells to about 250,000 vacationers.

It’s gonna be YUGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The reaction for this rally is spiking already.

Yeah, over 100K requests for tickets, over a week before the event. Amazing.

https://twitter.com/mikeandersonsr/status/1219290809129930752

The history of Wildwoods area and Cape May is uniquely American. The area began to develop as soon as the Garden State Parkway was finished in 1955. The 200+ hotels have a 50s-60s vibe which is only a few decades later than South Beach in Miami. In fact, Wildwoods looks like a time warp into old Vegas. Classic Kitsch.

The Wildwood Doo Wop Preservation League has taken steps to preserve the architecture of several of these hotels before they are torn down to make way for high rise condos.

Wildwoods was HOPPING and the place to be in the mid-late 50s. In fact, Bill Haley and the Comet first performed Rock Around the Clock, at Wildwoods. From Wikipedia —- “Rock Around the Clock“, often credited as the first rock and roll record, was first performed on Memorial Day weekend in 1954 at the HofBrau Hotel in Wildwood by Bill Haley & His Comets. The song’s status as one of the first rock and roll hits has given rise to the city’s claim as “the birthplace of rock and roll”.[26][27]

Oh gosh, this song was used for my first cheer leading routine.

Wildwoods even has a Doo Woop museum with fabulous neon and signage from the period + and Acme Grocery stores. Again, from Wiki: A 1950s Doo Wop museum includes property from demolished motels such as neon signs and furniture.[33] Neo-Doo Wop buildings in the area feature a neon lit Wawa and a 1950s styled Acme Supermarket.[34]

Note, there is a town of Wildwood, which is only about one square mile. Wildwoods is a collection of about 4 communities and runs straight into Cape May. The two are only separated by a channel to an inner harbor.

See you at the RALLY!!!!!!!!!!!

20200128: Peace in the Middle East ~ Plan Announcement

Watch Live from the White House: https://www.whitehouse.gov/live/?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=wh

Remember, we’re all on Wolfie’s Roller Coaster. We’re all here together. Right now we are picking up spead, and things are coming at us fast —– BIG THINGS. There’s simply no way any other President will be able to keep up this pace. The announcement will come at NOON, Eastern time.

The money shot.

Bibi is at the White House, along with his political rival (who we have not seen?). The three men talked over the “Suggestion” as President Trump says, for a “Middle East Peace Plan”. The President acknowledged that at first the Palestinians might not like the plan, but in the end they will like it (offer they can’t refuse) and casually mentioned the Trump Admin cut off 300 million dollars of aid to the Palestinians. He added, “In the end, they’ll like it…. but let’s see what happens.” Note: The USA has had this kind of power all along, but it takes a guy like Trump to use it properly.

Let’s get to the background on what has happened at the White House thus far. We had the meet and greet with photos at the door. We had a wild presser in the Oval Office with Bibi:

Full Transcript can be found at the bottom of this thread. WAIT UNTIL YOU SEE BIBI’s little SPEECH! WOW!

And the two men spoke to the press for a while outside on the colonade.

The Wall Street Journal seems to like it.

Iran HATES the Plan, even though they have not seen it yet. No matter, we know Iran’s economy won’t last a year. We’ve moved on, ignoring Iran as their power is no longer important in the Middle East. Iran is out of gas.

And China claims the Palestinians don’t like it, even though they have not seen it. China has their own problems and the Palestinians are broke and tired. Rabid leftists hate it, even though they have not seen it ~ because they LOVE chaos and will never be satisfied.

Here, Reuters also reports on Bibi’s political rival, Ex-general Benny Gantz. He is at the White House, in a separate meeting? Have to separate the kids, I guess. Here he is……. he looks pretty tough.

They’re calling it “The Deal of the Century”. Let’s see what happens. Reaction is pouring in from everywhere. Arab pundits, China/Russia, all of Europe………. everyone is watching PDJT.

Transcript from Today: Emphasis is mine on Bibi’s “speech”.

Q Mr. President, what’s your response to the Bolton manuscript? And does this increase the chances he could be called to testify?

PRESIDENT TRUMP: Well, I haven’t seen a manuscript, but I can tell you: Nothing was ever said to John Bolton. But I have not seen a manuscript. I guess he’s writing a book. I have not seen it.

Q Well, you know what the allegation is.

PRESIDENT TRUMP: We’ll talk inside.

Q Do you expect Prime Minister Netanyahu to implement the plan right away in the coming six weeks?

PRESIDENT TRUMP: Well, I think he’s here for a reason. And, hopefully, that it will be “yes.” And peace in the Middle East has been long sought for many, many, many years and decades and centuries. And this is an opportunity; we’ll see what happens. Whatever it is, it is. But he’s here for a reason.

Q Would you give a green light for annexation of the Jordan Valley within the coming months?

PRESIDENT TRUMP: We’re going to see. We’re going to announce tomorrow at 12 o’clock. We’re going to show a plan that’s been worked on by everybody, and we’ll see whether or not it catches hold. If it does, that’d be great. And if doesn’t, we can live with it, too. But I think it might have a chance.

Q Do you expect Benny Gantz to agree to the plan?

PRESIDENT TRUMP: Do I expect what?

Q Benny Gantz.

PRESIDENT TRUMP: He’s coming here today. He’ll be here also. And, as you know, they are two good competitors. They’re fighting it out.

I’ve been waiting now — this is my third election. We keep waiting, and waiting, and waiting. So, let’s go. What kind of a system is that? That’s a very strange system you have over there. Wouldn’t you say that?

Because we have been. We’ve been waiting — we’ve been talking about this for many months and we keep waiting for the election. So that system has to be looked at.

Q But what about the allegations that this is an interference with internal politics in Israel? The fact that —

PRESIDENT TRUMP: Well, I think what’s happening is — one of the reasons that Mr. Gantz is here is for that reason. He’s coming, too. So I’m going to speak to him right after this.

Q What is your message to the residents of Judea and Samaria at this point?

PRIME MINISTER NETANYAHU: May I — may I say something?

Q Yeah.

PRIME MINISTER NETANYAHU: I think — first of all, I’m very honored to be here with you —

PRESIDENT TRUMP: Thank you. It’s my honor.

PRIME MINISTER NETANYAHU: — here today, Mr. President. And I look forward to making history with you tomorrow. And I think we’ll talk about the plan; I’ll talk about the plan — of vision of peace, which is historic — the President has put forward tomorrow.

Today, I just want to say two words: Thank you. Thank you for everything you’ve done for Israel, everything you’ve done for Israel — for recognizing Jerusalem as Israel’s capital; for moving your embassy there; for recognizing our sovereignty in the Golan Heights; for recognizing our rights in Judea and Samaria, the heartland of our biblical homeland; for the unprecedented security and intelligence cooperation between our two countries.

I think, Mr. President, that the list of your support for Israel, the things you’ve done for Israel since you’ve become President, is very long. But the bottom line is short: You have made our alliance stronger than ever. And I look forward, in the coming years, to make it even stronger with a historic defense treaty that will anchor our alliance for generations.

One last thing — one last thing, which I think is important: This is International Holocaust Remembrance Day. And on this day, I’m proud to stand here, as the Prime Minister of the one and only Jewish State, and thank you for confronting the most anti-Semitic regime on the planet. When you came into office, Iran was on the march. Because of your leadership, Iran is now on the run.

You’ve withdrawn from the dangerous nuclear — the nuclear deal. You slapped on tremendous sanctions. You have — two weeks ago, you’ve taken out the most dangerous terrorist on the planet. All those who seek peace, all those who want to fight terrorism should thank you, Mr. President, for your bold decisions and your bold actions.

And on behalf of the State of Israel, I want to thank you for everything you’ve done for Israel, for confronting Iran, and for your extraordinary decisions, your friendship, and your leadership.

That’s the end of my speech.

Q President Trump, last time, I asked you if you were for a two-state solution. Are you going to say, tomorrow, “two-state and a Palestinian State”?

PRESIDENT TRUMP: You’re going to see very, very quickly. We’re going to release a plan tomorrow at 12 o’clock. You’re going to see for yourself.

Okay. We’ll see you inside.

We all know Jared Kuschner has been working on this plan with dozens of leaders in the Middle East and within our Administration. With Iran on the run, and elections in Israel still up in the air, the timing might be perfect for this plan. Call it Freedom from Mueller, Impeachment going nowhere, winding up China Phase 1, USMCA deal, the power of our economy, the “the Power of the Orb”, the trip to Saudi, the great speech to the GCC, the coalition with Egypt, Israel, Lebanon, and Saudi, the sanctions against Iran, the death of Soleimani, call it whatever you want……….. It might work.

Let the doves of peace, fly…………..

The Trump Women are Killing It!

Don’t get me wrong, the men have been wonderful, worth their weight in gold, smashing legal arguments in the Senate SHAMMMMMMMMPEACHMENT. Yet, these two women, have been terrific and I happened to find the isolated video for sharing with future posterity. In fact, ALL of the women in Trump’s orbit seem to be powerful beyond measure and incredibly competent.

First up was Jane Raskin. Yeah, I want to be Jane Raskin when I grow up, if I ever do. She debunked the shiny object called Rudy Giuliani. Jane Raskin effectively noted Rudy Giuliani has been right four times and Adam Schiff was wrong every time. Pure gold. Smooth delivery, like silk. She should give the closing argument.

And then, there was Pam Bondi. She dismantled the objections of the Dems and gave us every reason to investigate the corruption of the Bidens and the corruption of what happened in Ukraine during the election of 2016.

It’s glorious to watch.

Some words of wisdom from the Gospel According to St. Mark, Chapter 3:

The scribes who had come from Jerusalem said of Jesus,
“He is possessed by Beelzebul,” and
“By the prince of demons he drives out demons.”

Summoning them, he began to speak to them in parables,
“How can Satan drive out Satan?
If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.
And if a house is divided against itself,
that house will not be able to stand.
And if Satan has risen up against himself and is divided,
he cannot stand;
that is the end of him.
But no one can enter a strong man’s house to plunder his property
unless he first ties up the strong man.
Then he can plunder his house.
Amen, I say to you, all sins and all blasphemies
that people utter will be forgiven them.
But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit
will never have forgiveness,
but is guilty of an everlasting sin.”
For they had said, “He has an unclean spirit.”

As always, prayers for the fight against that which seeks to enslave us are welcome. Via con Dios.

None of us want to spread bad information, and we don’t want to OVERreact and spread hysteria. The problem with this issue is, that as fast as the disease is spreading, so is the bad information. Thus, this thread. Perhaps we can sort fact from fiction within this forum.

Wheatie’s Word of the Day:

Falderal

Falderal means “nonsense or foolish talk”. It can also refer to “a knickknack or gew-gaw”.

Alternate spellings: folderol, folderal and falderol.

The term originated as a nonsense word in the refrain of songs, dating back to Old English ballads and plays.

Used in a sentence: The Dirty Dems continue to spew forth their malicious falderal in their attempts to frame our President for things he didn’t do.

On this day and every day –

God is in Control
. . . and His Grace is Sufficient, so . . .
Keep Looking Up


Hopefully, every Sunday, you can find something here that will build you up a little . . . give you a smile . . . and add some joy or peace, very much needed in all our lives.

“This day is holy to the Lord your God; do not mourn nor weep.” . . . “Go your way, eat the fat, drink the sweet, and send portions to those for whom nothing is prepared; for this day is holy to our Lord. Do not sorrow, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.”


Is Your God BIG or little?

Dr. Robert D. Wilson (1856-1930) was a Presbyterian scholar who devoted his life to showing the Hebrew Bible’s reliability. In proving the accuracy of the Old Testament manuscripts, Wilson learned 45 languages, including all languages into which the Scriptures had been translated up to 600 AD. He was a Professor at Princeton Seminary and Westminster Seminary.

Wilson went to hear one of his students (Donald Barnhouse) preach and said, “I came to see if you are a big-godder or a little-godder, then I know how your life and ministry will unfold.” Wilson explained that people with a little god are always in trouble. Their god can’t create or do miracles. He can’t forgive big sins or help people change their lives in big ways. Their little god can’t take care of the Scriptures’ inspiration and transmission to us. He doesn’t intervene for His people or answer prayer. These people have a little god.

Others have the great, awesome, almighty, invincible God—the Lord of the Bible—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. This God speaks and it is done; He commands and it stands firm; He shows Himself strong on behalf of those who love, fear, trust, and obey Him. Dr. Wilson said, “You, young man are a big-godder, and the Lord will bless your life and ministry. He will use you for His praise.”

A God Too Small?

November 28, 2019
by Charles R. Swindoll
Scriptures: Exodus 19:1–15

So deep, so profound must be this respect for God’s holy presence that no one was even to touch the mountain. The people were to wait upon God to speak to Moses and hear the Lord’s words through the Lord’s servant.

What a needed reminder! This story makes it clear that we live in a day of pitifully shallow concepts of God. Some of today’s contemporary Christian music leaves the impression that God is our buddy—a great pal to have in a pinch. A film star once said of God, “He’s my great Big Daddy upstairs.” One pop song asks, “What if God were just a slob like us?” That is not the biblical view of God. That is a human being’s feeble attempt to make God relevant.

The Puritans, that rigorous people of old, possessed a solidly biblical concept of God. Do you know why it is so crucial for us to recover such a respectful understanding? Because a shallow view of God leads to a shallow life. Cheapen God and you cheapen life itself. Treat God superficially, and you become superficial. But hold God in profoundest respect, and it is remarkable how deep the roots of your spiritual life grow.

God is holy. Exalted. He is the only wise God, the Creator, the Maker, the sovereign Lord. He is the Master. He tells me what to do, and I have no safe option but to do it. He offers no alternative, no multiple choice. We have but one directive, and that is to do His will. We reaffirm that truth in our times with Him.

But not today. Today He’s our pal, our understanding buddy, our ever-available bellboy. No, He is not! The Lord is our God. He does not bow to our hurried pace, but in silence He waits for us to meet His demands. And once we slow down enough to meet Him, He is pleased to add incredible spiritual depth to our otherwise shallow lives.

What has been your concept of the Lord? Who is your God? Be honest, now. Does He look anything like the God of Mount Sinai?


Psalm 139

1 O Lord, You have searched me and known me.
2 You know my sitting down and my rising up;
You understand my thought afar off.
3 You comprehend my path and my lying down,
And are acquainted with all my ways.
4 For there is not a word on my tongue,
But behold, O Lord, You know it altogether.
5 You have hedged me behind and before,
And laid Your hand upon me.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
It is high, I cannot attain it.
7 Where can I go from Your Spirit?
Or where can I flee from Your presence?
8 If I ascend into heaven, You are there;
If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there.
9 If I take the wings of the morning,
And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,
10 Even there Your hand shall lead me,
And Your right hand shall hold me.
11 If I say, “Surely the darkness shall fall on me,”
Even the night shall be light about me;
12 Indeed, the darkness shall not hide from You,
But the night shines as the day;
The darkness and the light are both alike to You.
13 For You formed my inward parts;
You wove me in my mother’s womb.
14 I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Marvelous are Your works,
And that my soul knows very well.
15 My frame was not hidden from You,
When I was made in secret,
And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
16 Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed.
And in Your book they all were written,
The days fashioned for me,
When as yet there were none of them.
17 How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God!
How great is the sum of them!
18 If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand;
When I awake, I am still with You.
19 Oh, that You would slay the wicked, O God!
Depart from me, therefore, you bloodthirsty men.
20 For they speak against You wickedly;
Your enemies take Your name in vain.
21 Do I not hate them, O Lord, who hate You?
And do I not loathe those who rise up against You?
22 I hate them with perfect hatred;
I count them my enemies.
23 Search me, O God, and know my heart;
Try me, and know my anxieties;
24 And see if there is any wicked way in me,
And lead me in the way everlasting.



O Worship The King

O worship the King all glorious above;
O gratefully sing His power and His love:
Our Shield and Defender, The Ancient of days,
Pavilioned in splendour, and girded with praise.

O tell of His might, O sing of His grace,
Whose robe is the light, Whose canopy space.
His chariots of wrath the deep thunder-clouds form,
And dark is his path on the wings of the storm.

This earth, with its store of wonders untold,
Almighty, Thy power hath founded of old:
Hath stablished it fast by a changeless decree,
And round it hath cast, like a mantle, the sea.

Thy bountiful care, what tongue can recite?
It breathes in the air, it shines in the light;
It streams from the hills, it descends to the plain,
And sweetly distils in the dew and the rain.

Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail,
In Thee do we trust, nor find Thee to fail;
Thy mercies how tender! How firm to the end!
Our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend.

O measureless Might, ineffable Love,
While angels delight to hymn Thee above,
Thy humbler creation, though feeble their lays,
With true adoration shall sing to Thy praise.
