Praise the Lord Anyway!
Your enemies have mocked me, O LORD; they mock your anointed king wherever he goes. Praise the LORD forever! Amen and amen! (Psalm 89:51-52)
It’s easy to praise God when life is good. It’s a gorgeous spring day . . . praise the Lord! I just got a raise . . . praise the Lord! My doctor gave me a clean bill of health . . . praise the Lord! I got an “A”‘ on my final exam . . . praise the Lord!
But what about when life isn’t good? The wind chill factor today is minus 25 degrees . . . praise the Lord? I just lost my job . . . praise the Lord? My doctor says it’s cancer . . . praise the Lord? I’m going to fail that class . . . praise the Lord?
Psalm 89 exemplifies praising God when life is hard, praising God anyway. This psalm begins by singing of God’s unfailing love (89:1-2). Moreover, all of heaven will praise God’s great wonders (89:5). God’s faithfulness to his people is a cause for rejoicing (89:9). This faithfulness is centered in God’s covenant with David and his promise that David’s dynasty will go on forever (89:19-37). But then Psalm 89 takes a dark turn, even accusing God of renouncing his covenant with David (89:39). The psalmist cries out, “O LORD, how long will this go on? Will you hide yourself forever?” (89:46). The penultimate verse of Psalm 89 laments, “Your enemies have mocked me, O LORD; they mock your anointed king wherever he goes” (89:51).
But then comes the startling conclusion: “Praise the LORD forever! Amen and amen!” What? Praise the Lord who has allowed his people to suffer, who has strengthened the enemies of Israel, whose unfailing love seems to have disappeared? Praise this Lord? Now?
Yes, that’s where Psalm 89 leaves us, without explanation, without apology. Yes, there is an unresolved tension here, something that can’t be rationalized away. The psalmist shows unsettling freedom in his protest against God, even accusing God of breaking his promises. Yet, he ends on a note of praise, and not just praise, but eternal praise. In the midst of pain and suffering, praise the Lord! When you can’t figure out what God is doing, praise the Lord! When God feels very distant, praise the Lord!
I’m not suggesting that this is easy to do. In fact, I find this to be exceptionally difficult. Thus, I am challenged by today’s psalm to do what does not come naturally, to praise the Lord at all times, to praise the Lord anyway.

Praising God anyway, when we’re in the midst of difficult times needs a little context to be seen from the correct perspective.
While we were yet sinners, God showed His love for us by giving His Son, Jesus, to bear our sins as He died on the cross. Jesus’ death reconciled man’s sin and sinful nature with the holiness of God. To partake of that reconciliation, we must put our trust in Jesus as our Savior . . . not by our works, but even to those who believe on His name.
We were less than nothing and have been given everything.
So, back to praising God even in difficult times. That’s a bit like walking along and stubbing your toe, quite painfully I might add, and just when you’re ready to complain to God about it, you see that you’ve stubbed your toe on the marble steps leading up and into the grandest mansion the world has ever seen . . . a mansion that God has just given to you.
And that comparison utterly fails when we really think about what wretched worms we were in God’s eyes, and then the enormous sacrifice God made to be able to adopt us into His family as His sons and daughters.
Amazing grace, How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me . . .
So, when events take a nasty turn for us during our short time down here, perhaps we can do a bit better about praising God anyway, in view of our riches for eternity up there with God.
Sylvia Avery, tired of this knavery
Has a relapse to deal with now
So she took the test, then went on a quest
To hit this virus “Ker-Pow”, but how?
All the meds were gone, and she so sick and wan
Looked all over for a cure
Knowing she’d find a way, then finally on ebay
Found what she needed, for sure
Well, it looked just right, shipped it overnight
And got it the very next morn
Sylvia knew she could, sharpened it really good
Oh, those bugs were looking forlorn
When . . .
Bang! Bang! Sylvia’s tiny, new shovel
Came down on their heads
Bang! Bang! Sylvia’s tiny, new shovel
Made sure that they were dead
So our Sylvia went to see the President
To tell him what she’d found
He just couldn’t wait, didn’t hesitate
To let our Sylvia expound
So, right at 5 o’clock, Sylvia stood up to talk
On PTrump’s WuFlu show
And so she told it all, the world heard in a thrall
Everything it needed to know
How . . .
Bang! Bang! Sylvia and her shovel
Came down on WuFlu’s head
Bang! Bang! Sylvia’s tiny, new shovel
Made sure that it was dead
This story doesn’t end, reporters aren’t our friends
And they laughed at Sylvia that day
But Sylvia knew, she had her big shovel, too
So Sylvia jumped into the fray
And . . .
Bang! Bang! Sylvia’s big ol’ shovel
Came down on their heads
Bang! Bang! Sylvia’s big ol’ shovel
Made sure that they were dead
Now Sylvia’s in a scrape, they have it all on tape
How Sylvia slaughtered them all
Charged with murder one, they knew that she was done
But PTrump said “Here, I’ll make this call”
“What Sylvia did was right, they earned it by their spite”
“And Sylvia, I’m setting you free”
Then he said with a grin, “She’s our heroine”
“I grant you pardon and clemency”
Later when years had passed, Sylvia was, at last
Loved and cherished for her fling
Because she showed us how, she’s on Rushmore now,
With a holiday where children sing
How . . .
Bang! Bang! Sylvia’s trusty shovel
Came down on their heads
Bang! Bang! Sylvia’s trusty shovel
Made sure that they were dead
“What holiday?” you say, well, it’s called Shovel Day
When Dimms and media run and hide
We’re out to get them yet, because we won’t forget
How all the Dimms and media lied
And . . .
Bang! Bang! Sylvia’s trusty shovel
Came down on their heads
Bang! Bang! Sylvia’s trusty shovel
Made sure that they were dead
Perfect!!!!!!!!!!!
💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
Wonderful, Carl…love it!
😀🥰👍
Very well done.
Though a celebration of Sylvia’s triumph is certainly appreciated, I’ve been a professional worrywart for a couple of decades…..I’d like to see an update on her actual status.
Here’s the last I got:

Yes, Marica upthread. Sylvia not yet 100% but doing better 👍
TY. I’ve been very worried. I want to see her hale and hearty and smiting with a gleaming shovel.
Thanks, Cthulhu…me too…and me too.
❤❤❤
((((Harry))))
My shovel is ready to take on all comers. I probably want to build a little more strength yet…….but the shovel is ready!!!! (Thanks to Rodney Short!)))
Hey cthulhu! I’m doing well. Improving steadily. Coughing much less, and breathing easier. Definitely on the mend! 😊😊😊
Carl!!!!!!!!!!!! I cannot WAIT….Til Syl sees this!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are such a gem!!!!!!!! She gonna😂😂😂😘🥰💖💖!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
😎😎😎😎😎
((((carl))))
I am SO honored………and amused……….and charmed! Thanks for giving me something to laugh about right out of the gates! God bless you for your many talents that you share with us here.
AMEN!!!
I was thinking about losing people to WuFlu, and then thought of our experiences with PHC. Then I added a few of my own thoughts for . . .
Saying Goodbye
I’ve lived in this world for enough years
It’s getting closer to my time to go
I don’t really see my leaving as loss
But as pure joy replacing the woe
My head and heart are brimming with joy
Though my body is wracked with pain
I’ll see my Savior for the first time
And I’ll be seeing some of you again
Please don’t come to see me after I’ve gone
Because when you arrive, I won’t be there
Gone from my body, present with my Lord
With Him always in His merciful care
So, when you hear, just whisper goodbye
Renew your resolve to walk in His ways
Love our God and love one another
And fill your life with thanksgiving and praise
That’s beautiful, Carl, and so thoughtful of you to remember our PHC during this Easter season.
Praise Our Lord. Forever and Ever. Hosanna in the Highest.
Thank you, Carl.
😌🙏🤗
So nicely said!
We miss him so much!….But his spirit is with both our sites!!! He’s here!!! So lovely Carl!!!🤠🤠🤠🤠🐓🐓💗
🙏🙏🙏
Beautiful, Carl. I feel that way, too. I am ready to go, joyfully, when He calls me home.
And thanks for mentioning PHC. To speak of him keeps him alive in our hearts. 🤠🐟🐠🐓🥃🐦✨💞
This is a general announcement.
I have decided that I’m going to turn The U Tree into a weapon of war against the CCP. My dear profanity will be following me over there for our “basic training” activities.
Nebraska Filly is now allowed to post THERE.
It is my hope that we will create a new, tight, and highly purposed community there, which will concentrate on one purpose and one purpose only – the utter destruction of the CCP. Yeah, some Democrat traitors may get hurt in the process, but so be it.
Expect a lot of F bombs there. It is NOT going to be a nice place. But it may be a lot of fun.

Dylan seems to be a recurring theme lately…The Times They Are A-Changin’…
Harry, have you heard his latest offering? first time he has recorded in 17 yrs, or so I read.
it’s on YT, w a special YT for lyrics.
it’s called “Murder Most Foul”, and is inspired by JFK’s assassination.
interesting timing.
it’s typical cryptic, fascinating Dylan.
his serious fans will love it, while some will find it v interesting.

Oh my, giloo, I hope your coprolalia clears up!
I was thinking of NF just the other day. I sincerely wish her well.
Thanks!
There has been much discussion of her coming back here, but I want THIS site to be low-drama. I believe all the drama will be on the other site now, where excess energy can be directed into priming the laser cannons. 😉
Low drama…I’m not sure such a thing is humanly possible. 🙄
I’ve been monitoring the utree in hopes that she shows up.
If I have time, I may go watch you all! Am wrapped up right now with DH. He’s scheduled for surgery, but who knows when that will happen. Just glad he’s not in the blankety blank nursing home/ rehab center.
Will pray for you both! <3
TY. You take care of yourself too.
((((jamcooker))))
🙏🙏🙏 for you and DH
TY! Fortunately, one daughter is next door, and able to help. Whatever the Lord has in store for us is whatever it is. I pray for healing for my husband (and patience for myself), but whatever the Lord has in store will be whatever it is. I look to Him for guidance in making whatever decisions need to be made and he guides me through all my bumbling ways!
Yeah on Nebraska!
Me too! We have animals in the mainstream press that say much worse about our VSGPDJT on national television. Not that I’m questioning Wolf’s decision at the time…he has to protect this site and things went a little south…but it will be nice to see her back in action.
Agreed!
We have our first thrown grenade.

You Da bestest Wolfie!!!! perfect Solution!!! Why we LOVE YOU DEARLY!!!💖💖💖
God bless you brother Wolf….
Sic ’em, Wolfie!
And thanks for giving Filly an outlet at the QTree.
The time we have had with her at Marica’s blog has been a blessing. But that girl is a warrior and itching for the fight. Unleash her on the ChiComs! They’ll rue the day….
Thank you for this timely opening post, bakocarl. I was particularly struck by this (emphasis mine):
“The psalmist shows unsettling freedom in his protest against God, even accusing God of breaking his promises. Yet, he ends on a note of praise, and not just praise, but eternal praise. In the midst of pain and suffering, praise the Lord! When you can’t figure out what God is doing, praise the Lord! When God feels very distant, praise the Lord!”
This was also brought home to me yesterday (I think) in one of duchess’ postings of Scripture:
Psalm 24:1 – The earth is the Lord’s, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.
It is His world. We belong to Him, and we are not promised a perfect, stress-free life in this fallen world. We aren’t even promised that our plans will come to fruition. But we are promised eternal life under certain conditions. For that alone, He is worthy of praise.

Since this should all die down by Corpus Christi, I say we do up the outdoor processions and shrines and litanies BIG TIME even if it’s going to be stinkin’ hot by then. I mean, it’s June 14 this year. For those who aren’t Catholic, that’s the day we take the Monstrance with the Pyx, okay, the pastor carries it, under a canopy and hit the streets singing and processing complete with the red torches, and incense. Of late, priests all over have been doing this without the big processions, but on the Solemnity of the Body and Blood, Corpus Christi, it’s done with great celebration.
Illegals. who supposedly are urgently fleeing their countries, suddenly not interested to go to US.

Want to know what one of the goals here is? Gates lets the cat out of the bag. I suspected this a few years back. The demons – and I’m talking about actual demons – have an agenda. I know people who aren’t Catholic aren’t going to buy it, but I’ve long thought destruction of the Church was the ultimate goal. Why us?
Found at:
https://fromrome.info/2020/04/05/bill-gates-my-corona-stunt-requires-18-months-of-control-then-mandatory-vaccination/
Quote from the From Rome author:
Ominously, at 17:40 in this Video, Bill Gates implies that the Catholic Religion will remain outlawed until all can be certified to have received a vaccine, if even then!
He is talking about suspending the Mass for 18 months or forever!
Gates has developed a severe case of megalomania – an exalted sense of self-important. All that money and power has made him sick.
Yes, but I think this was the ultimate goal all along, even as far back at the Great Schism or it wouldn’t have happened. Definitely since the 13th century.
I don’t see the relationship – the split between the eastern and western church was about theology, geographical distance and power. The Filioque was one excuse, but it was deeper…. leaders jealousy?
I have read that the Western/Romans hired mercenaries to storm Constantinople.
Plenty of evil done in the name of the LORD and HIS CHURCH over the centuries, even today.
It’s about Christ being really present in the Eucharist. Like I said, people who aren’t Catholic aren’t going to buy it. I know that. When then Schism happened, the East has not had a single case of Stigmata since.
Wow that comment certainly didn’t go as planned.
The Fourth Crusade, in 1204. It began in 1202 with the plan to liberate Jerusalem. The next year while on their way to the Levant, the crusaders found themselves out of money; they beseiged a Catholic city, got excommunicated (duh!) for that, then hired themselves out to Alexios, a claimant to the Byzantine throne. They were able to put him on the throne, but then Alexios got overthrown and most of the payments he had promised never materialized. So they sacked Constantinople.
Only a handful of the crusaders went on to do their original mission in the Holy Land.
The Crusades in general, except for the first one, were absolute CFs.
I think the Roman church hired some Saracens to sack Constantinople? It was ugly.
I honestly think the Muslims are stuck in that religious violence mode…..doing what the Romans did to Jesus and what Church was doing to its own people back then – burning, beheading, drawing and quartering, crucifixion, and all the raping, pillaging….
I have no idea about the Saracens (which doesn’t mean it’s not true–I don’t, unfortunately, have the time to pick through what would have to be eight centuries of history…but I’d have to guess that was later.
Constantinople had some SERIOUS defenses, both natural and man made, the natural positioning is why Constantine picked that location for his capital. In 413, Theodosius built the 60 foot triple wall, and they were not breached until gunpowder.
After the sack in 1204, a “Latin Empire” was set up that lasted until 1261; with catholics in charge of the place. (It must have been their wet dream at the time.)
Things started going way south in the church when Constantine decided to make it over into his image and idea of power structure and standardization of theology – he made it a punitive, power structured organization.
Constantine did nothing of the sort. Things started going south, as you put it, when Christ challenged the people managing the Temple when he was 12.
Things started going south when Eve ate the fruit.
Exactly what I read…really started as far back as the Druids in what is known know as Great Britain…Constantine even usurped many of the same Druid holidays. It was always about power and politics.
It wasn’t just Druid holidays. In fact many Roman holidays got hijacked as well.
There’s no evidence whatsoever that Jesus was born in December, much less December 25 (and I’ve even had very fundamentalist pastors tell me that, so it’s not some sort of atheist propaganda). In fact what little is in the Gospels points to a totally different time of year (indirectly)–I don’t remember whether it was spring or early fall, and on my bandwidth right now I’m not going to go hunt. But December 25 was on or near a couple major Roman holidays (Dies natali Solus Invicti, the day of the birth of the unconquered Sun, became a part of the Roman pantheon on that date in 274); more traditionally it was part of Saturnalia, so guess what?
Many cultures celebrated the Winter Solstice (I know next to nothing about the Druids, but I can’t imagine they didn’t) so it was a way of hitting a whole flock of birds with one stone.
It comes from Chy-Na.

I posted this on the CoronaVirus thread this morning in response to a post from Sadie, I think, who linked up a piece talking about Gates wanting the ID vaccine, and getting IDs. The more I think about it…I think the 40,000 foot view is giving us what the plan was to destroy the USA:
Alright, this probably belongs on the Open Thread, but I’m getting the distinct impression that what we are seeing play out was/is the plan that was scheduled to take place as it is now with Hillary at the helm, and zero centralized planning as the Trump team is putting together.
Just the way Bill Gates is inserting himself into the public discussion, as if he was the replacement for David Rockefeller in the food chain, tells me that this was laid out in a battle plan long ago, and the left did not know what else to do once the brain trust died.
If there was a plan laid out, and I’m POSITIVE there is one, then the Q team would have it. They know what the fear mongering steps were/are, they know the mass chaos that was supposed to ensue when supplies weren’t available. Just imagine if it had happened with the economy in shambles as would have happened with four more years of Obamanomics. The Hunger Games would NOT have been fiction. Dystopia would have been our lifestyle.
This was to be the beginning of the people BEGGING for a one world government that the one worlders have been promising the people would want for at least the last century.
Think about it: suspension of freedoms, essential confinement of the people, suppression of the Church at the most sacred seasons of the Church year, vaccine push for ID, push for mail in voting which would make elections moot for all the reasons that have been outlined here.
THIS was the left’s plan to finish off the country mind, body and soul.
They let it play out despite Trump being at the helm thinking it would finish him as a politician.
They underestimated his resolve, and that of the American people.
They also underestimated the potency of the chosen virus.
Now, the question is who knew of the plan and is a part of it.
Good food for thought….I sincerely hope we learn the answer to your final sentence. I do not care who it is, how shocked we will be…I think it’s time for answers. If we Americans are as resilient as claimed…we will get over it.
They also seem to miss the point that if not for Trump we’d be at their throat.
Except that…they didn’t–and don’t–look upon this as the event that would back us into a corner, but rather as the event that would get us to admit we were wrong. In their minds it’s PURELY a matter of social constraint that keeps most of us mouthing conservative platitudes; deep down we know they are right.
Putting us in a crisis would give us the reason, finally, to cast all that off and be what we’ve wanted to be all along, but were afraid to say so.
The Leftist is incapable of imagining that we really believe what we believe. We must be saying what we say because of either social pressure…or greedy exploitative self-interest. They imagine our leadership as being like the spokesmen Big Tobacco sent to Congress to argue that smoking doesn’t kill people, lying for the sake of filthy lucre…and the rest of us as sheep following the herd.

Not sure what to think. At this point, sitting back and watching is helping to keep the anxiety over all of it at bay. I can’t do anything about it, so I’m not emotionally investing in Bergoglio other than as a puppet who needs to be removed from the stage.
I believe Bergoglio will be removed… soon

I listened about 10 minutes to the Harvest Church and had to turn it off. I am looking for the Message not fundraising.
I am glad though I looked and saw and heard.
Sent by PT – perhaps, they are in need of funding – I hear you – felt the same way – posted the service from ‘Free Chapel’ heard the sermon – it was good – about the ‘Lamb of God’ – if you want – will post video so you can see it – God Bless You!
Greg Laurie usually presents serious clear sermons based on The Word. Maybe it’s just the time we’re in, but this is a time for Bible thumping with fire & brimstone messaging. IMO YMMV

My apologies, Carl. You’re trying to share spiritual sustenance with us, and I fall short. Still, I read your post for the healing of spirit at the end of the day.
In the meantime, people need to be aware of the new narrative from our Enemies.
Watch out for Malignant Media’s new narrative – quarantine without end…
@Lady_Penquin
Who is paying you to promote fear-mongering nonsense? Oh, that’s right, @CNN – Chinese Communist Network. OTOH, if you self-quarantine for the next decade – we’d be delighted – known as quarantining America’s Enemies.
“trying to share spiritual sustenance with us, and I fall short” . . .
LP – I know that you know that we all fall short . . . and recognizing that “I fall short” is a great step in the direction of falling less short although . . . how far are each of us falling short of God’s standard, which is perfection? Lots and lots!
Recognizing that we “fall short of the glory of God” is a great step toward humility . . . and humility is a characteristic that needs to be held deeply, yet frequently displayed in these days.

Maybe Churchmouse can give an opinion on these. Ive seen them a few years now.
So this, too, is not evidence to back up DP’s fantasy.
This is entirely NEW(S) to me.
I’ve not seen or read about this before.
Wow. Id be curious to know if friends or family there have either.
It would help to know where it occurred. I’d look it up.
I don’t want to reignite this argument, but don’t forget a couple of Kennedys died this week in mysterious circumstances.
https://twitter.com/Inevitable_ET/status/1246839804140150784
I thought it was just a canoeing accident. The news didn’t say anything, that I was aware of, about mysterious circumstances. I agree the timing was really unfortunate and I don’t think the bodies have been found yet.
Allegedly, Gates did not have his children vaccinated:
https://twitter.com/Gramps29117196/status/1246844929881473026
That’s the rumor.
It seems as though most people have forgotten the 1957 pandemic, H2N2 Asian flu. More deadly but milder than the 1918 Pandemic. Approximately 70,000 people died. The biggest difference in previous pandemics is that there was no closing businesses and no social distancing. Each person was on their own to keep out of harms way – the way I recall.
The WuFlu very much reminds me of the measles. The same symptoms with the exception of the rash that is associated with the measles right down to the pneumonia like symptom. I wonder if that is why the original test for WuFlu gave so many false results?
Did not know anything about the H2N2 Asian Flu – the WuFlu is horrible – the shortness of breath – fever – sore throat – cough that never goes away – dunno what the symptoms of the Asia Flu are –
People died because there was no intervention – no studies – no assistance – no press – seems to me – they got the desired affect – to kill people – much the same as with the drug trade – alcohol – and STDs – human trafficking – the enemy is good at it – imho
As far as what we are doing now – there is more to do with this virus than meets the eye – it could be a bioweapon – an attack on our country and other countries around the world – and I do not think the enemy got the desired effect – worldwide – people fought back – against a hidden enemy – if the enemy could not affect a war to kill millions – this was their new method of warfare –
To think this was planned should tell all.
I agree too that the WuFlu is designed as a bioweapon. I was wondering if the WuFlu was designed with the measles as a background since the symptoms for the WuFlu and the measles are almost identical. The WuFlu does not have a rash, at least not that I have heard of.
I guess the Chinese have been practicing on us for a long time.
Unfortunately, yes!

One Thing Of Which We Can Be Certain; When Given A Range Of Options, California Always Chooses The Worst One
http://acecomments.mu.nu/?post=386688
FTA
Instead, Mayor London Breed and the Human Services Agency came up with the plan to route over 3,000 people currently living in shelters and navigation centers into hotels. The city is planning to put thousands of physically and psychologically sick people into private hotel rooms, in some of the most luxurious hotels in San Francisco—the InterContinental, Mark Hopkins, and The Palace. Occupants would receive three meals per day, hygiene products, and access to nurses.
All over ca that is what they are doing. They are taking the concentration of these people and spreading them everywhere.
If they want to do good, they should move all of them into large outdoor militsry style tent camps in the desert. Warm, dry, abundant space, plenty of room to triage all of them, safely separate,treat, and house.
There is zero, and i mean zero reason to put people in hotels.

For those who are looking for ideas to make a mask, here is a good one:
https://twitter.com/Inevitable_ET/status/1246854843311878144
Idea is good but this is too small for his face. The top should be covering most of his nose bridge, and a flexible piece to push the mask down on either side.
The bottom should go under the chin and also be a snug fit.
This is a photoshop but fyi if you make your own.
Also….
Facial hair will greatly degrade the seal of a mask…which is why pilots can only wear mustaches.
Ah didnt know that about pilots but youre right!
I thought about just Sharpie-ing MAGA across the cheapass masks I bought 15 years ago.
Rethinking the way we look at education
So this offers k-5th grade homeschooling and waves the 100 dollar fee for now. Sign up at the time of entering.
So I put this alternative out again if you wish. Totally free. You, Child or Collage Grad, can start courses as soon as you pick one, no sign up unless you wish and you likely wish so you can track progress of child or self.
Leaving you at the Arts and Humanities course page so you can poke around. Major Subjects are Math, Math by Grade, Science & Engineering, Computing, Economics & Finance, Khan Kids, Test Prep and Career Studies.
Not saying this is a be all end all, but it’s good for self starters and would certainly supplement any program.

John Durham Investigation Intensifies Focus on John Brennan
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/john-durham-investigation-intensifies-focus-on-john-brennan
QUOTE:
April 03, 2020
U.S. Attorney John Durham’s review of the Russia investigation is putting increased scrutiny on former CIA Director John Brennan, searching for any undue influence he may have had during 2017’s intelligence community assessment of Russian interference.
Durham, selected by Attorney General William Barr last year to lead this inquiry, drove to Washington, D.C., in March to ensure the investigation stayed on track during the coronavirus outbreak.
The top Connecticut federal prosecutor is looking into highly sensitive issues, including whether Brennan took politicized actions to pressure the rest of the intelligence community to match his conclusions about Russian President Vladimir Putin’s motivations, according to sources cited by the Wall Street Journal.
Officials said Durham has been interviewing CIA officials this year, zeroing in on those at the National Intelligence Council, a center within the Office of the Director of National Intelligence which oversaw the collaboration between the CIA, FBI, and National Security Agency in putting together the 2017 assessment, and looking at how the work product was finalized.
Durham is also reportedly reviewing Brennan’s handling of a secret source said to be close to the Kremlin. The prosecutor wants to know what role that person’s information played in the assessment.
Durham is also scrutinizing Brennan in relation to British ex-spy Christopher Steele’s dossier. In particular, the prosecutor is looking for answers on whether it was used in the 2017 assessment, why former FBI Director James Comey and former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe insisted upon it being part of the assessment, how allegations from the dossier ended up in the assessment’s appendix, and whether Brennan misled about the dossier’s use.
The Wall Street Journal reported that sources said United Kingdom authorities refused Durham’s request to interview Steele. The former MI6 agent also declined Durham’s request to speak, saying he and his business had already “done our duty” by cooperating with DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s investigation into alleged Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act abuses, which found glaring flaws with Steele’s dossier and the way the FBI used it to obtain warrants to wiretap Trump campaign associate Carter Page.
“I stand by the integrity of our work, our sources, and what we did,” Steele told Oxford Union students last month.
That’s about the face I make when I hear the words “John Brennan.”
That’s the same face I make when I have diarrhea.
Coincidence?

The Judge—Heritage Brief 13
by Rick Joyner
Although it will take some radical solutions to get our Federal Government back on track and reconnected again to its constitutional moorings, we have an amazingly strong and resilient foundation to work with. We must never think it is not possible. If the U.S. Navy CB’s have the motto: “The difficult we do immediately, but the impossible may take a little longer,” how much more should we, who serve a God for whom nothing is impossible, believe this?
Judicial tyranny may presently be the greatest threat to the Republic, but no republic can survive without a strong, independent judiciary devoted to justice. Even though we may have suffered much from wayward judges and courts, most have not gone awry, have stayed within their lane and doing a great service to the country.
One of the first ways that the Founders saw as an inroad for the corruption of the judiciary was for judges, including Supreme Court justices, to have lifetime appointments. They believed that no government official should ever be exempt from accountability, and nothing likely can shield one from accountability like a lifetime appointment.
When this wisdom was disregarded and lifetime appointments for certain seats were given, they were intended to enable judges to rise above political pressure to stay focused on justice. Lifetime appointments may have seemed like a good remedy for this, but it did not work. Now our judicial system is as politicized as the rest of the government.
Every major departure like this from The Constitution has only created worse problems than the ones they were devised to fix. That being said, it seems reasonable that judges and justices should have long enough terms to at least allay some of the pressures of politics that can pervert justice. It could be helpful to have the renewal of their terms close to automatic, but there needs to be some ongoing evaluation and accountability for their performance and compliance with the law and The Constitution. Those who would protest the most at having their lifetime appointment removed should probably be the first to be removed. To be a judge is a high calling, and we obviously want those who are above reproach in the courts.
Our Founders feared the tyranny of the mob as much as they feared the tyranny of a king. The same crowd that welcomed Jesus into Jerusalem declaring “Hosanna, blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!” were crying “Crucify Him!” just five days later. The Founders were devoted to establishing a government of the people, by the people, and for the people, but also one that could ride out the wild swings of public opinion. These swings can create a social turbulence that tears a nation apart.
Democracies are where the majority rules. Republics are where the people vote for representatives that rule on their behalf. The representatives ideally will not just try to please public opinion, which can so wildly swing from one extreme to the opposite extreme, but rather do what is best for the whole country. This is why our Founders formed a constitutional republic, not a democracy as many wrongly presume.
As John Adams noted, no democracy had survived more than a short time before committing suicide. As he also wrote, “A democracy is like two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.” Under pure democracies, the rights of minorities tend to get ignored or trampled upon. To ultimately be a nation of “justice for all,” the Founders knew we had to be a constitutional republic where The Constitution was “the supreme law of the land.”
All three branches of government have been prone to infringe on the authority given to the other branches, as well as the authority given to the states and the people. The military calls this “mission creep”—when a commander starts adding to their specific assignment. When this happens, very often the original assignment gets muddled and sometimes forgotten. This has happened in our Federal Government. It has taken on many purposes that are beyond its constitutional authority.
To remedy this, we must recover the fact that The Constitution was written to assign specific authority to the Federal Government and forever limit it to what was specifically given to it in order to preserve the authority of the states and the people. Therefore, the assignment of any purpose to the Federal Government not specifically named in The Constitution is a violation of The Constitution. A main purpose of The Constitution was to limit the authority of the Federal Government in order to keep it from becoming what it has now become.
To bring the needed correction to restore the constitutional boundaries of the Federal Government, it would be much better for the three branches of it to be self-correcting. This would require champions of The Constitution to arise in each one to get our government back on the rails. This is still possible. Yet, with every day that passes without the self-correction, the likelihood of it becomes more remote. Therefore, the likely source of change will be from the states and the people.

David Spade had his own show?
apparently… something called “Lights Out” ?
If that is the title, kind of ironic
who knew?
Slow guy, me, thought David Spade was a movie character. true.
Feels great not being connected with hollyweird lunacy.
David Spade was on Saturday Night Live first I heard of him. Not one of the funnier monkeys in the barrel, not that SNL was all that funny after the late 80s.

As mentioned previously…
If subT combat was, in fact, taking place, there would most def. be US Mil casualties. 100% guaranteed.
Meanwhile….
As far as I can determine, there have been no reports of mass casualties of the kind which would be expected in such a situation. Moreover, word WOULD get out as families of the fallen were notified, funerls conducted, etc.
Reconcile that.
PS – even the deaths of “special operators” (ie. Navy SEALs) on HIGHLY classified missions are reported to family members right away.
They can’t.
And if this isn’t enough see my reply below, about the geothermal gradient.
40000 feet down?
Really?
That’s ludicrous, and here’s why:
Every mile down, the temperature increases by 72-87 degrees F. This continues down to a depth of about 250 miles, then the gradient gets less steep.
40000 feet is over seven miles.
Tunnels seven deep would be at around 500-600 F and would be about as habitable as your oven (turned on).
I say again, LUDICROUS!!!!
Speaking to your point…
QUOTE:
“AngloGold Ashanti’s Mponeng gold mine, located south-west of Johannesburg in South Africa, is currently the deepest mine in the world. The operating depth at Mponeng mine ranged from between 3.16km to 3.84km below the surface by the end of 2018.”
But also:
QUOTE:
The temperature of the rock reaches 66 °C (151 °F), and the mine pumps slurry ice underground to cool the tunnel air to below 30 °C (86 °F).[1] A mixture of concrete, water, and rock is packed into excavated areas, which further acts as an insulator.[1] Tunnel walls are secured by flexible shotcrete reinforced with steel fibers, which is further held in place by diamond-mesh netting.[1]
END QUOTE.
That’s a lot of effort to go through, but it’s one of the world’s best gold mines so it pays.
40000 feet is over ten kilometers. This mine, though impressive…is a far cry from this ludicrous claim.
And… 3.84 km = roughly 2.39 miles. Applying that to the 72-87 degree fahrenheit gradient, the mine ought to be 172-208 degrees above whatever it is underground just below ground level–call that about seventy degrees.
Although this mine is quite a bit cooler than the gradient numbers I quoted above would cause one to expect–still, multiply it by about three to see where you’d be at 40,000 feet below the surface.
The deepest (officially acknowledged) borehole–just a hole for a drill, not something deep enough for people to go down–is in the 42,000 foot range. The temperature at the bottom of that was 356 F.
Believing in a huge network of tunnels at 40,000 feet down requires that one believe someone has VASTLY better tech for drilling long tunnels than is publicized–as in decades ahead–and that the people using this tech would never have used it for other purposes closer to the surface (for say, the utility companies they often own). And the energy budget to keep the things cooled enough to not be ovens would be enormous; again that would be energy they could put to more productive use.
Imagine if someone were to suggest to you that someone owns a 747-sized aircraft that can fly (take off, land, all that stuff you know quite well), even with the fuselage filled entirely, top to bottom, port to starboard, fore to aft (exclude the cabin) with lead shot. To say nothing of how much the structure would have to be beefed up to keep the plane from collapsing under its own weight…imagine the engines!!! Oh, but the engine tech is kept secret! Never mind the fact that someone could make a killing putting smaller engines on regular aircraft with that tech.
You’d probably say LUDICROUS.
And so with this network of tunnels nearly eight miles down…I say, LUDICROUS.
Steve, Steve. Don’t try to bring facts and logic into this situation. It doesn’t help the narrative at all!
Additionally, water in the surrounding porous rock formations at that depth would be at hydrostatic pressure around 20,000 pounds per square inch (psi). The walls of the tunnels would need to be thick steel and extremely leak proof in order to keep the soldiers dry and from being compressed into organic mush.
Any pinhole leak would instantly become a jet of super heated steam that would be capable of cutting through steel if close enough. Additionally, the hot steam would quickly decompress and cause massive volumes of hot lower pressure steam to fill the tunnel for miles pushing anything in front of it at high speeds.
This is one conspiracy that I don’t subscribe to.
Much of the internet hullabaloo over this has assumed a network MUCH closer to the surface. I think this deep stuff just came about because there have been earthquakes at that depth recently and people are hoping that “rods from god” are somehow smashing through eight miles of rock without any sign of it on the surface.
The near-surface tunnels (hell even 1000 feet down isn’t ridiculous) are more plausible but still stretch credulity–tunnels are expensive, and building tunnels thousands of miles long would be daunting.
But my biggest issue with this not-as-ludicrous case is that there’s literally no sauce for any of it. It’s just being quoted endlessly, like the YSM did with Russian Collusion off a fake dossier.
I’d love to say more but I’m trying to stay out of the middle of it. Some of the things on the internet about this are just plain DUMB. But it does make for great sci-fi reading!
DUMB is funny given D.U.M.B.!
Thanks for clarifying, Steve.
But, I wonder: When these 1000-foot-down soldiers drill their tunnels all the way to the end of the flat Earth, do they just fall out?
😜
Actually that’s a pretty funny question, right there.
Someone did a video explaining what, given gravitational theory, it would be like walking towards the edge of a “flat” earth. You’d actually find yourself climbing up a slope as you got closer to the edge. Not because it’s a bowl, but because gravity would “point” towards the center of the disk, i.e., at a slant to the plane of the surface. Water, for instance would want to pool in the center of the face of the disk.
This doesn’t happen here on earth–so advocating a flat earth model is equivalent to denying Newtonian (and Einsteinian) gravitation is accurate.
That’s an excellent point, Steve. I had never thought about that.
And the more massive or dense this hypothetical Flat Earth is, the more “uphill” one would have to walk to get to the end!
Take this to the extreme (imagine multiple massive Jupiters that are just below the fusion threshold), and one could never get to the end. Can it wrap on itself, essentially become round?
Well if one thinks about it…on this flat earth, there’d be enormous pressure those edges would put enormous pressure onto the stuff just inside the edge, which in turn would put even more pressure on what’s closer to the center from that–the combined weight of everything further out.
What would happen is somewhere down the line, the rock would collapse under all that weight and…wow, you’d eventually end up with a sphere of debris.
Which isn’t all that bad a description of what the Earth was like when it was formed!
Funny how that works, eh, Steve? 🤔
Yep.
It’s almost as if large things just automatically end up being round or something.
Indeed, that factor ended up being useful in some of the definitions of certain classes of bodies, that astronomers finally came up with fairly recently.
Along the lines of this conversation, I thought of this old YouTube demo by a teacher showing students a cool way to visualize gravity. I am sure that Steve has already seen this, but thought that other readers likely haven’t. Very recommended and fun to watch!
Note that about halfway through, he demos why all the planets are circling the sun in the same direction? Was this the hand of God, or a result of something else?
Back to the “how flat disks tend to self-destruct into spheres” thread, this is yet another example of how systems trend to their lowest potential energy level. A sphere (I.e. droplet of water dealing with high surface tension forces, nuclei dealing with the strong force, celestial bodies and collection of bodies (E.g. galaxies) dealing with gravity, shock waves dealing with pressure pulses, etc.) is always the shape that achieves that minimization.
Haven’t seen that video but sounds like a good one!
Oops, here is the link to that YouTube:
That was fun–“What do you think? I’m repairing the fabric of space time!”
There’s a tweet that says that the 40,000 ft divides into a specific # of miles & that # of Kilometers is the exact depth of multiple earthquakes…so it would be sort of a code/clue to get from 40,000 to 7.57 (or whatever that exact number is)…I couldn’t find the tweet easily…sorry…here it is..
https://twitter.com/Mareq017/status/1246878748579954688
Didn’t read the article….
Stopped at the breath taking discrepancy quoted below.
“40,000ft = 7.57 miles
These are all 7.57 kilometres”
.
.
The ONLY thing the above two lines have in common are 7.57.
7.57 kilometers is 24,736 feet. ONLY, 15,264 feet shy of 40,000 feet.
Surely I have missed something. But, probably nothing of value.
Rounding error… 😁

Your last and fiercest strife is nigh;
the Father on his sapphire throne
expects his own anointed Son.
Ride on, ride on in majesty!
In lowly pomp ride on to die;
bow your meek head to mortal pain,
then take, O God, your pow’r and reign.
ALL GLORY, LAUD AND HONOR!
All glory, laud, and honor
to you, Redeemer, King,
to whom the lips of children

now in the Lord’s name coming,
the King and Blessed One.
The company of angels
is praising you on high;
and we with all creation
in chorus make reply.
The people of the Hebrews
with palms before you went;
our praise and prayer and anthems
before you we present.
To you before your passion
they sang their hymns of praise;
to you, now high exalted,

As you received their praises,
accept the prayers we bring,
for you delight in goodness,

No wonder there are so many reports of hospitals with little activities:
Tracking site suggests White House model is overestimating coronavirus hospitalizations
https://justthenews.com/politics-policy/coronavirus/white-houses-coronavirus-model-has-overestimated-tens-thousands
……
Yet a comparison of actual hospitalized patients by state and nationally suggests the model has so far overestimated the number of beds needed to treat pandemic patients.
The forecast predicted, for example, that the United States would need around 164,750 hospital beds for COVID-19 patients on Saturday. Yet the COVID Tracking Project, a team of journalists and data analysts who collect and tabulate coronavirus data from state tallies around the country, reported only around 22,158 currently hospitalized coronavirus patients nationwide on Saturday.
…..
A discrepancy of a whopping 142000 beds

I’ve always wondered if [P] [44] is Barry?
I thought [P] was the pope – and the [44] are clown operations remaining, Katie – ???
I really have no idea. But to think it’s [44] brings me comfort, so I’m sticking with that until further notice. 🙂
You after the big ‘O’, Katie? lol
A reference to Isaiah 7:14 I guess.
Isaiah 7:14, NRSV [Two footnotes, one is that the Greek sources {the Septuagint?} say “a virgin” and the other explains that Immanuel is translated “God is with us”]
2 Chronicles 7:14
Yeah, that’d certainly be more on-topic these days, not that the one in Isaiah isn’t FAR more famous…
Steve, this is Holy Week – Good Friday – Easter Sunday – Resurrection Sunday – ???
Right now – we are in a war – if we humble ourselves – God will HEAL our land!
As I said… the verse in Chronicles is more apropos today.
The verse in Isaiah, though not as relevant, is so famous even a non-Christian like me expects 7:14 to be a reference to it. (Sort of like how 3:16 immediately means “John” when I see it on a bumper sticker.) I’m NOT saying that’s certainly what he meant–yours makes MORE more sense now that you’ve pointed it out to me–just that it was my natural guess.
We go with what is familiar, Steve – no foul
2 Chronicles 7:14
2 Chronicles 7:14 New International Version (NIV)
14 if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

Search key words – KJV online – and many other versions online have a method to search for what you want to find – ‘key’ words important – and you find other inspiration, too – God is Good!
Oh yes I often do that on bing.com images using “scripture keyword/s” to find encouraging scripture based memes. I love using BibleGateway.com & recently discovered they have a parallel choice to view different versions side by side.

Fired Navy carrier captain tests positive for coronavirus
https://www.oregonlive.com/nation/2020/04/fired-navy-carrier-captain-tests-positive-for-covid-19.html
A gentleman at my church has a son who was on that ship and has coronavirus. Hopefully, all of those sailors will get the best medical treatment and recover just fine.
Even worse than writing the public letter and leaking it to the media – was this captain letting his men go ashore during a pandemic!!!
Poor judgment – he was careless with his most vital assets and responsibilities – his men and the ship’s military readiness.
This makes no sense to me, GA/FL – why would a man with such a stellar reputation and success – just forget proper protocol – all of a sudden – was he blackmailed – his family threatened – or was he always a jerk who got promoted without the hard work – just wondering…
The top brass are humans… over a dozen Admirals got caught in a scam with a birthing mogul in Asia. Fat somebody.
Look at the priests, bishops, archbishops and even cardinals caught in the gay crap.
True – pardon me – but, when i look at a man who has accomplished so much in his life – i do not even consider he could have made a mistake of a different kind.
May be referring to, Fat Leonard. Singapore.
I keep forgetting his name.
Normally when a navy ship pulls into a port like Vietnam the crew ends up with the clap/drip. Not a virus.
Linda, They’ll be fine. Military in general and Navy specifically has lots of meds to prevent malaria.
While I dunno, betting 5,000+ Abbott 15 minute test kits sent to Roosevelt medical to test entire crew.
Beyond that, enough kits to test the couple thousand sailors on the escort ships, typically three or so Cruiser / Destroyers and a couple logistics ships.

People be Losing their MINDS: How to Protect the Mental Health of Our Families
I believe this was noted upthread, but can’t find it right now. Both hubby and I agree POTUS is referring to more than the virus – if it was just about the virus, he would have referenced the virus specifically. I know we like to look for double meanings, but place this in that fold – POTUS is talking about something Big and Strong – I don’t think it’s the virus only.

We are learning much about the Invisible Enemy. It is tough and smart, but we are tougher and smarter!
Why would a virus be smart? This is a double meaning that’s for sure. Mom fully agrees
Exactly. Told my hubby we talk about viruses as difficult, challenging, strong, mutating, but not “smart.” POTUS also capitalized those two words – Invisible Enemy – he’s talking about something else, something he is privy to… That tweet has had a huge number of “likes” – 213,000 last I looked – others caught the double meaning.
VP Pence does not worship your god – sounds like something you would ask your god – what a fool!!!
I can’t stand this kind of rudeness, arrogance… to the VP of the USA… things are getting ridiculous
Under normal circumstances – this guy would be fired for that kind of behavior, PR!

Somebody guilty threw that child out of the van – if that child belonged – there would be no reason to do so – makes me cranky, Marica!
