On Thursday, there were two stories really overshadowing everything else. One was the hearing featuring Matt Taibbi of Twitter Files fame of the Congressional Subcommittee on the Weaponization of [Government] Stuff. Talk about a dumpster fire. WOW where do the Democrats come up with these people?
Thankfully, Jim Jordan was presiding. Here’s the majority of it rather than putting in countless tweets, people can just fast forward. Sorry to just link it, but the darn thing won’t embed and as of this writing that is the longest video available. This is the FOX feed which will also not embed.
Lowlights here:

MATTHEW 21:33-43, 45-46
33“Hear another parable. There was a householder who planted a vineyard, and set a hedge around it, and dug a wine press in it, and built a tower, and let it out to tenants, and went into another country. 34When the season of fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the tenants, to get his fruit; 35and the tenants took his servants and beat one, killed another, and stoned another. 36Again he sent other servants, more than the first; and they did the same to them. 37Afterward he sent his son to them, saying, `They will respect my son.’ 38But when the tenants saw the son, they said to themselves, `This is the heir; come, let us kill him and have his inheritance.’ 39And they took him and cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. 40When therefore the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those tenants?” 41They said to him, “He will put those wretches to a miserable death, and let out the vineyard to other tenants who will give him the fruits in their seasons.” 42Jesus said to them, “Have you never read in the scriptures: `The very stone which the builders rejected has become the head of the corner; this was the Lord’s doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes’? 43Therefore I tell you, the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a nation producing the fruits of it.” 45When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his parables, they perceived that he was speaking about them. 46But when they tried to arrest him, they feared the multitudes, because they held him to be a prophet.

I have a notepad window open titled “Links for Today.” As I read through in the am, I copy and past the links I want to bring forward as well as any quotes. That way I don’t have more tabs than I already have open.
I save the memes to my hard drive, and retweet the tweets I want. So, when I go to assemble a daily in the afternoon or evening, I have lists of links to just copy and paste.
Seems to be working fine.
Update — I have one left from yesterday and am otherwise current, but may be sleeping soon.

Naomi Wolf is being redpilled in a major way.
Dear Conservatives, I Apologize
My “Team” was Taken in By Full-Spectrum Propaganda
https://naomiwolf.substack.com/p/dear-conservatives-i-am-sorry
She then talks about the J6 reporting.
There is much more about that…Then:
She ends with:
Someone needs to take her aside and say, “y’know, Naomi, there are places where you can go inside and publicly say, ‘I have sinned; I have wronged,’ repent, make amends, and be accepted within…..”
SD warned us about these awful cowards switching sides over a year ago. His rant was about COVID, but could apply to any proven conspiracy right now.
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2022/01/22/professional-leftists-begin-trying-to-retreat-from-the-consequences-of-their-covid-nonsense/
Yup, there are rules about such things, and “so sorry” is only the start of the path — not the end.
The end is a rope.
The only thing they’re sorry about is being caught.
Naomi Wolf was a “useful idiot”. I can hope that she can be brought back into the fold.
By contrast, actors like Fauci belong with #ToxicHornetsOnPatios, so their last stop isn’t gravity, either.
One of the benefits of being Slow AND Not watching Pravda anything, I had never heard of Naomi, until she was on Bannon.
On Bannon trashing Covidiocy and Covidiot Injections…
Naomi Wolf and Matt Taibbi I certainly do not bundle in with the rest of the vicious venomous snakes.
They have a code of ethics and it shows.
A-fucking-men, brother.
I say that all the time!
Naomi Wolf is already on our side regarding COVID and vaccines. She is doing great work to expose Pfizer and vaccine companies.
Unlike those who want us to “forgive and forget” regarding COVID policies, she is not asking for anything from us. She does not mention “forgiveness.” She merely admits that she was wrong.
I’m glad to see someone with her clout coming around to the truth and being willing to admit her error. That is so rare that it is almost unheard of.
Agree on your assessment of Wolf.
Weiss was different. When she made her bogus mea culpa, she equivocated, and did not detail the basis for her statement. I forget the specifics, but she threw in baloney which was a sure indication that she did not really mean it.
When a person admits wrong and apologizes, IMO, the person needs to specifically articulate why the apology is needed, otherwise the apology is meaningless. Explain exactly what you did wrong, so others know that your apology is based on an actual exercise of conscience.
Seems to me Wolf has done that.
NO! She’s not on ‘our’ side.
She has the correct position regarding covid vaccines.
That’s it. She needs to wander in the desert for a few years.
You’ve got it. She still doesn’t like Trump, while admitting that may be reflexive.
Well, hell, Naomi, do some damn research about him, why doncha ya?
Pravda News is her problem. She needs to cut the cable.
Naomi has her hands full chasing Pfizer so I will forgive her lazer focus.
I said, “Naomi Wolf is already on our side regarding COVID and vaccines.”
Confused, is this the same woman that appears regularly with Bannon?
Since Naomi first started appearing regularly with Bannon I assumed she’d already turned. Certainly seems so as she fits in so well with us now.
It makes this apology thing seem more like instruction for her old friends on the left. The same ones that have long since disowned her and totally stripped her off the internet of all accolades after being a household name as a woman’s libber for several decades.
Precisely why it’s hollow, to me.
Yes, she is frequently on with Bannon. She has does fantastic work revealing the duplicity of vaccine companies.
Yes. Or maybe she is following her faith, which I think instructs one to admit wrongs and apologize, and that is the end of it.
(This is not aimed at you; just general observations.)
No one is saying she has suddenly turned MAGA and we have to trust her to be in, say, a cabinet position. This could be a simple situation of someone who was duped, now awakening — the very thing we want to see. And she is admitting her errors and opening herself to ridicule, which people are willing and very quick to provide. She might have included detail and links as instruction to old friends; so much the better.
People seem to be assuming that she is asking for something or expecting something, but there is not a smidgen of that in her writing.
I would be hesitant to want those who *know* everything that a person is thinking and feeling, as well as their motivations, on my jury if I were on trial. That kind of prejudgment that doesn’t even take the facts into account is the opposite of fairness.
If the psy-op starts up again, these same people will revert and do the same shit they did the first go-round.
They cannot be trusted. EVER.
Nope. Like miss lindsay sashays to whoever has power theyd do the same to survive.
The snake poem…you let me BACK in!
He is very right on this.
Being sorrybisnt enough, bc theybwill always do it again, corrupt others, and will have profited in some way off of lack of severe consequences.
Here they come clutching whatever tools of repentance they can grasp to make a display. Jesus spoke of people like that.
She’s still a swamp critter playing a part unless she displays true humility and retreats totally from the public square. You will know them by by their fruit.
She still does not acknowledge that government operatives and police instigated Fedsurrection. Buh bye. I have no use for leftist pretense.
Ditto.
I don’t understand this statement. She is a well-known person who is doing great work exposing vaccine companies. By being on Bannon and elsewhere, she is educating people. Why would she need to stop doing those things?
And as for humility, what is more humbling than saying “I was wrong” multiple times, providing the precise things one was wrong about, and being vulnerable to derision and ridicule — which is what the majority here have provided?
Interesting comment C. Yesterday I linked a Mark Steyn program with Naomi Wolfe where she talks about the churches, and in her case synagogues, being shut down. She mentioned that at one point during the lockdowns she was so desperate to worship God in a community setting that she went to a Catholic church and was dismayed that the parish was segregating the vaccinated and unvaccinated. So from what I heard on yesterday’s show she probably has done just what you suggest.
I believe she is starting to wake up (hence my fist comment about her being red-pilled), and that that is fantastic news.
It was my impression that she is mindful of God from a Jewish perspective and takes her faith more seriously than some liberal Jews I have observed.
I think that is correct.
“I believed a farrago of lies.”
___________
A farrago?
What is that, a european clown car?
😂
I thought it was a Portuguese boat.
“So a half of the country has been tarred by association, and is now in many quarters presumed to be chaotic berserkers, anti-democratic rabble, and violent upstarts, whose sole goal is the murder of our democracy.”
____________
I’m surprised at the reactions from people. Naomi Wolf has been wrong about a lot of things for a long time, and she is admitting it even though there was no need to. Usually we rejoice at people being red-pilled.
I’m only one person, so maybe it’s just me.
I tend to like her when I see her, but what she wrote comes across as self-serving and condescending.
She’s not fired up and angry about being manipulated and lied to on an unimaginable scale, the way any normal person would be.
She’s just ‘sorry’, and qualifies her ‘sorry’ by repeatedly making excuses, demonstrating that she’s not really sorry at all.
I’ll believe she’s ‘sorry’ when she goes after the people who did this to our country.
Sorry is a good first step…..but it is only a first step. If she stops after that one, then she will still deserve whatever happens.
And this ^^^
it wasn’t even a full confession. It was a kicking the dirt, I missed some of this type stuff deal. Full confession, full repentance. Until/if that happens, she is controlled op.
There is no “opinion” in what TC presented. It’s all on the video with time stamps plus tons of other evidence.
Unless she receives some deep seated resentment from non Bannon watchers on the right, this seems more slyly addressed to the left to give them a path and yank them over to the MAGA right.
For Bannon watchers this is all water under the bridge. At this point she’s done more for MAGA than even the slickest RINOs.
I have political acquaintances with whom I work regularly. But they are NOT trusted simply because I work with them and we share a few values.
But who said anything about trusting her? That is what’s puzzling about this discussion. People don’t even seem to be comprehending what they’re reading.
Dr N Wolf is an example to her liberal friends family. She is showing that one does not embrace Trump necessarily and still embrace the truth and can have the humility to admit one was wrong.
Why I am a strong strong supporter do not expect every person to like him.
She just has been red pilled and slowly she is admitting to her self how she was deceived but do not expect her to embrace all of MEGA . I am happy for her she has seen deception from her liberal group she believed.
I agree.
🙂
Thank you! The circles Naomi lives in, THIS must be a huge deal. Good for Naomi AND good for those that know / trust Naomi.
EXACTLY!!!
I am puzzled that people are not happy that the scales are falling from her eyes.
Must be hard on her and it is never easy to come from the dark into the light 🙂
This.
Nicely stated.
This ^^^
Yep.
There is nothing she could have said or done that would be satisfactory to people. She said she was sorry, but that was self-serving (because people can read her mind). She said she was wrong, but she hasn’t done enough even though saying you’re sorry is always a first step. She didn’t ask for anything from us, but she is being put in the same category as those who have advocated for vaccine mandates but now want forgiveness.
Some aspects of this discussion, and reactions here, are repellent to me. No one said we have to trust her now, and she hasn’t asked for that either. No one said anything except that she has realized some things. Those things will make her message more powerful for our side, and I am grateful for that.
“There is nothing she could have said or done that would be satisfactory to people.”
_____________
Very true, we each have our own life experiences and that affects how we see the world.
If I had been intentionally misled by my government and all my whackadoo Leftist friends, to the point of inflicting real harm and damage on my fellow Americans, I would be LIVID at the government and my Lefty friends who did such a thing.
My apology would not be qualified, it would be complete. I would no longer associate with the people who misled me, and I would want a Cliff’s Notes version of everything I’ve been missing while living in LeftistLand, to get up to speed as quickly as possible.
And I would want retribution, justice, against those who purposefully misled me and in turn caused me to harm others.
And I would be furious with MYSELF for having been so incredibly naive as to trust academia or government or the Left, about anything.
I don’t sense much of any of that from her comments, so it doesn’t give me a lot of confidence.
I don’t dislike her at all, I’m glad she’s waking up, I’m glad she is willing to recognize mistakes and admit them.
On the other hand, like everyone else here, I have been burned so many times by RINOs and others who say the right things but don’t mean them, that it’s hard to take anyone seriously who isn’t breathing fire.
And if I had been a useful idiot for the Left, and then discovered that to be the case, I would be breathing fire.
I wish that she was.
I would relate much better to that.
.
“She said she was sorry, but that was self-serving (because people can read her mind).”
___________
I can’t read her mind, my assessment is based on the totality of her comments, which, to me, amounted to some pretty weak sauce.
Better than no sauce at all to be sure, but I like hot sauce, and this was extra mild.
.
“She said she was wrong, but she hasn’t done enough even though saying you’re sorry is always a first step.”
___________
I’m not suggesting she has to do anything, I just know that I would be on fire for the truth if I discovered that all my Conservative friends had been lying their asses off to me for the past 30+ years, and I had unwittingly been used by them, so much so that I even caused real harm to others.
I would be furious.
More angry than I already am on a far too regular basis.
So it’s hard for me to relate to someone who doesn’t react in a somewhat similar way.
.
“She didn’t ask for anything from us, but she is being put in the same category as those who have advocated for vaccine mandates but now want forgiveness.”
____________
TT, I don’t know anything about her, except the occasional video clip or comments I read here.
I was just giving my impromptu reaction to the comments she made, same as I might do to Schlicter or Tucker who are (presumably) on the side of patriots, and as I regularly do with people who are obviously not on our side.
I’m not putting her in any category, I don’t even know enough about her to categorize her. I was just reacting to her comments in real time, based on how they struck me, as I read them.
.
“Some aspects of this discussion, and reactions here, are repellent to me.”
_____________
They needn’t be. We’re in a pressure cooker. Surrounded by enemies of the Republic. We have zero practical leadership on a national level, for a variety of reasons (both real and imagined).
It’s nice when a member of the opposition wakes up and switches sides.
But when our friends and family (and in some cases, ourselves) have been injured or killed in the trenches of this insanity that we’re living through, we can’t expect everyone to play the part of Aunt Bee when there are Terminators walking among us.
It’s great if Naomi is one of the good guys, but let’s not forget our own wounded and dying in the process. There is plenty of PTSD to go around, except it’s not post, it’s current and ongoing traumatic stress disorder. (COTSD).
There is a war going on, undeclared though it may be. It is only natural that people are cautious and reserved toward those who switch to our side, especially if they’re not laying waste to their former comrades.
I appreciate that you are taking Naomi’s perspective into account, please don’t forget to take the perspective of those on our side into account as well.
.

I read the first paragraph or so and stopped at the part where YOU would want complete retribution, seemingly immediately. It’s not a realistic expectation of anyone else. I don’t agree when people think they have a right to say not only what others think (as if anyone could know that), and what others should say and think, but also on what timeline — which seems to always be their own without regard to the other person’s life experiences and history.
Paradigm shifts can take time. I rejoice to see anyone starting the journey, and especially someone who has name recognition and influence. This is a very positive occurrence.

How can you be so OUT OF TOUCH WITH REALITY to not even do a 30 second Internet search?
She’s not really a journalist, she just plays on one TV!
Maybe I understand her better that the rest of you because I lived in Commie Central for years.
ALL her friends are liberals or socialists or communists. They ALL wholeheartedly believe the LIES.
It is a complete miracle she even woke up enough to be suspicious of the vaccine.
Humans are herd animals and very very few will go against the herd. NAOMI DID!
So I applaud her courage. SHE was OSTRACIZED for her courage by her former friends. She has written about that too.
From her comments on Mark Steyn it is obvious that she sees dangerous parallels between the covid lockdowns and 1930s Germany. She is very sensitive to the power of the State to delegitimize entire classes of citizens and she is realizing that she has become an enemy of the people she once trusted. It is a sobering recognition of how fragile the bond is between citizen and government. I believe it actually terrifies her. Her new perspective seems genuine to me.
Have lived in communist environments all my life, and completely agree with your assessment. The American places where communists are the majority population are the most parochial places in America. The child-like acceptance of dogma might be just humorous were it not that sadism is the fundamental psychological state of these believers.
Neo Neocon has a great series called A Mind Is A Hard Thing to Change (or words to that effect). She wonderfully details how hard it is for a communist/leftist to get out of epistemic closure (as she did). I read Neo Neocon for years, and earlier on she was still trying hard to see things for what they really are. She eventually got there, but not without a lot of self-honesty and strict objectivity.
Amen!
“I believed this all — til it was debunked.”
_________
It was all debunked from the BEGINNING.
You only ‘believed it’ when the ‘debunkers’ were people in your own orbit, faces you recognized and related to.
Exactly the point Gail makes a little above. The stupidity humans need to rise above, the epistemic closure they need destroy, is both personal and communal. People often reflect the stupidity of the group they identify with.
“I believed that Pres Trump instigated the riot at the Capitol — because I did not know that his admonition to his supporters to assemble “peacefully and patriotically” had been deleted from all of the news coverage that I read.”
___________
So after the first 9 or 10 things you realized were lies, you didn’t see a PATTERN developing?
Let me guess.
‘Investigative’ isn’t your type of ‘journalism’?
“I do believe our nation’s capitol must be treated as a sacred space.”
____________
It’s a building where corrupt people go to commit their crimes with the protection of what used to be called law enforcement.
The criminals who prowl the halls and corridors desecrate that ‘space’ all day, every day.
Oh…so much this ^^^

Naomi has done great things, tirelessly exposing Covidiocy / Covidiot Injection DEATH shots.
ONLY Major qualm with Naomi’s rant. WHY, apologize to the fucking republicans.
I for one greatly appreciate Naomi.
Maybe Naomi needs to cut the cable, to fully awaken.
Absolutely, and she might or might not fully awaken. I think vaccines provided a good start, and this is another welcome step for me, anyway.
How much harm or damage did she do during it all while “being misled?”
Easily misled means not much of a thinker.
I’ve seen many accounts of people changing political parties or voting for someone and looking back and saying, How could I have been so stupid/ill-informed/unaware? It happens to a lot of people. When someone comes out of it, or part of it (since indoctrination runs deep) I’m willing to help them on their journey.
EXACTLY!
None of us are perfect so we should not cast stones but instead help the person to further enlightenment.
Definitely requires a lot of patience to do it.
Robert Malone’s comment on Naomi’s apology: “Robert W Malone MD, MS
Mar 10 · Who is Robert Malone
“My friend Dr. Naomi Wolf has demonstrated her courage and integrity in this and many other essays and interviews. Please read her apology – if only those responsible for the clear breaches of ethics and rabid governmental overreach of the COVIDcrisis were so courageous, we might be able to begin to recover. Leaders of the Democratic party and many other western political parties have convinced themselves that propaganda and censorship are justified based on a utilitarian ethos of “ends justify the means”, but they use their ill gotten powers to gaslight and harass, and to stomp on fundamental civil rights. It is far past time for all who believe in the American experiment in self-governance to remember the hymn ‘stop, children, whats that sound, everybody look whats going down”

OK, now for a segment of TMI along with a bleg.
Developing over some years, and accelerating over the last year, I’ve been developing a herniated umbilicus. On one level, I can be scientific about it; whereas on other levels it is an experience too much like a bad science-fiction story. I’ve been looking into having it dealt with by surgery, but ran into a whole bunch of “you must have hypertension under control; you must have OSA under control; you must have blood sugar under control; etc.” before I’m a candidate for surgery. At the end of last year, I ended up at one of the top docs in the area and he finally said something that made sense.
He said, “there is something pushing this out, and if we just corrected it today it might pop out again tomorrow.” So he sent me over to do a CT scan to see what’s in there (I was thinking a chestburster from Alien, or maybe a 40-pound tumor). On Wednesday, I got together with him again to review the results.
“Cooth,” he tells me, “you’re full of ascites.” I replied, “well, you’re not the first to tell me so, and are unlikely to be the last — but that’s quite an accent you’ve got there.” He then went on to tell me that ascites are random fluids in the body cavity — much like edema is fluid in the legs and feet. They are often correlated with cirrhosis of the liver, to which I say, “HAH! Irish DNA!”. [Seriously, the CT says “Liver: Normal in size, contour and density. No mass or focal lesion” and that the portal vein is normal. And blood tests for liver function have been good for over a decade.]
And I’m thinking to myself…..I’ve been on two hypertension medications for a while. One is designed to relax the walls of my blood vessels, and the other is designed to make them permeable to liquid. The permeable one has me bumping along with better or worse edema all the time — maybe it’s not just leaking in my feet. This might also explain the continual coughing-up of phlegm that I had thought was because of a defective CPAP (which got recently replaced).
It is also a sad fact that modern medicine is not all that savvy as to the causes of hypertension, and both medications merely treat the symptom. A side note of the CT scan says, “Adrenal glands: 5.5 x 4.6 cm fat-containing left adrenal nodule, consistent with a myelolipoma.” Adrenal nodules sound like something that might cause hypertension.
So I’m about to head to my PCP…..and I want to tell him what the next steps will be. But first, I’m brainstorming here. Any ideas?
After the last couple years, it seems definitely worth trying unconventional therapies for just about anything besides broken bones or stitches.
Which is what we as a family did. As a result we are healthier and essentially off nearly all RX.
Just IMO, but it may be that one or both of the hypertension medications may be involved here.
IMO, it’s possible to control / manage hypertension in ways that may not need to include prescription drugs, or may be used in conjunction with the correct drugs for the person —
Was your potassium level checked? That might be a factor.
Do you take a probiotic every day? That might help.
What about salt intake?
Diet changes can help, too.
So can certain “lifestyle changes”, like cutting down on stressors.
Perhaps getting the adrenal gland issue taken care of may help also.
Sending Deep Healing to you and Deep Wisdom to the PCP.
This may or may not help, bud. When the chiro took scans of my torso, she showed me the fluid pockets (ascites). The adjustments have my body is correct alignment now, so nothing is crimped or contorted to allow for these pools of fluid. Their creation appear to be environmental, major candida (fungal related) in this area; as well as diet (too much sugar and processed carbs) related. I will preface this with saying I gave up alcohol nearly 30 years ago.
Over the past couple of weeks (5 weeks into it) I have been releasing a lot of fluids since going Ketogenic. I hope to have follow up scans in the next month to see what has happened with the ascites. I’m losing 2 lbs. per week with no extra exercise. My BP is in the low normal range. If that is not an option, there are elements of the Mediterranean diet in Keto that may work better for you.
Wifey is no longer on BP meds with her weight loss and chiro adjustments. Amlodipine caused problems with her system. At first it worked fine, but over time it messed her up. She just takes a low dose fluid pill every other day for her inner ear problems. Her BP would sky rocket for years. She is now low normal most of the time. Being sick can cause a BP spike once every 2-3 months, which she takes Clonidine to control. One dose of it and she is back to normal.
Good luck with figuring this out.
Good this is your adrenal is not cancerous. Deal is there they need to do some other labs and have you see an endocrinologist. Based on those results they have to either take out the adrenal gland OR leave it and repeat the CT in 1 year to check for growth. If it does grow theyll remove it. Otherwise itll just stay there.
Growth on your adrenals can interfere w bp and other things. It depends on what youve got going.
They call these “incidentalomas.”
Coothie, you are correct about the nodules causing hypertension:
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24251175/
If they removed the mass, it might solve the hypertension. Whether they will operate or not is of course another question.
Cooth do you have problems with salt? do you have low potassium?

PRAYING ON THE ARMOR OF GOD
Father God, I now follow your command to put on the full armor of God, because my battle is not against flesh and blood but against rulers, authorities, the powers of this dark world and against spiritual forces of evil in the unseen world.
I first pray on the Belt of Truth that it may be buckled around my waist, may I be centered and encircled by your truth dear Lord. Hem me inside all that is true and right, and may I be protected and held up by the truth of your living word, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Breastplate of righteousness, please protect my vital organs and my inner man, cover my integrity, my spirit, and my soul. Guard my heart for it is the wellspring of life, please strengthen and guard the most vulnerable places in my life with that which is right, good, and noble that I might not receive a fatal blow from the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Gospel Shoes of Peace. I choose to stand in the shoes of your good news, and on the firm foundation of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the solid eternal rock. All other ground is sinking sand, I pray that I will not slip or fall, but that my feet would be firmly fitted on your lordship, my Lord Jesus. I choose to stand on you, so that the peace of God, which transcends all understanding will guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus, the eternal Rock of Ages. I receive your holy peace now my Lord, from the sole of my feet to the crown of my head, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray the Shield of Faith into my hand now. As I take up the shield of faith, I ask that you might extinguish every dart and arrow, that is launched from the enemy to take me down spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally, and every attempt of the enemy to destroy my joy. I ask that my faith in you would make it flame out. Extinguish every flaming arrow that would come against me, my life, my family, my home, or my ministry. May my faith always be out in front of me like a shield. Give me the courage to “faith my fears” by choosing to walk by faith and not by sight, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Helmet of Salvation, that you might protect my mind from the thoughts that can lead me astray. I choose to take every thought captive, and arrest all intentioned ideas and motives that would harm others, or distract me from your holy will for me. I submit every captured thought to the Lordship of my Lord Jesus Christ, and ask that you would imprison those thoughts that are not of you my Lord. Transform my mind and renew my thinking that I may think God thoughts, and have a sober mind that is focused on your glory. Please protect me from being double minded that I may allow my mind, I reject to live an earthly life, because I choose to live a holy one, governed by you My Lord Jesus, the prince of peace, please have my mind to be saturated with the holy mind of Christ, in my Lord Jesus name.
Finally, I take up the Sword of the Spirit which is the holy word of God, I pray this powerful offensive weapon into my hand, and ask that your holy word would be fitting for every encounter I face. As the enemy gets close to me, please give me the insight, wisdom, and skill to wield the word of God to drive away the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
May the enemy and his team flee from me, upon hearing the word of God spoken by the power and direction of the Holy Spirit. Give me the sword of the spirit to cut through the wiles of the devil, so that I may discern the schemes of the enemy when he is near.
With all kinds of prayers, supplication, and intercession I pray to you my Lord God as the one who fights my battles. Now that I’m in your holy powerful armor, I walk away covered and ready to face my day as you go before me, and please protect me in the midst of the spiritual warfare in this unseen world, in my Lord Jesus name.
Thank you my Lord, for the spiritual weapons of armor and prayer that you have given me. It is written no weapon formed against me shall prosper, and you will refute every tongue that accuses me.
Thank you Father God, my Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit, that I am more than a conqueror in my Lord Jesus. I pray all of this in the mighty name of my Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ.
AMEN.
PLEASE PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER

I must say that I am surprised that the Motion Picture Academy of Arts turned down Zelensky’s request to address the world at their shindig. Rather, I would have expected the Academy to give Zelensky an Oscar for his role as Ukrainian President. The Academy missed another opportunity to generate a ratings bonanza and make the awards relevant again.
Maybe they finally noticed that virtue signaling political agendas at an entertainment event doesn’t make them relevant . It makes them simpering morons that many refuse to watch and also reveals the “stars” themselves biased points of view that turn many people off to even watching their stupid movies . Don’t mix politics with business
It takes away time from them celebrating themselves.

US senator said that the United States has no protection against Russian missiles
Russia still poses a significant nuclear threat to the United States, says Roger Wicker Ranking Member of the Senate Armed Services Committee
The United States does not have the means of protection against modern Russian strategic weapons, including Poseidon nuclear torpedoes. This was stated on Thursday by Senator Roger Wicker (Republican from Mississippi) at a hearing in the Senate Armed Services Committee.
“Russia still poses a significant nuclear threat to the United States. Moscow has a larger and more modern nuclear arsenal than we do. It can also create additional nuclear weapons in a short time,” he said.
Wicker added that “Russia has created nuclear weapons that have no analogues in the United States, including nuclear torpedoes capable of crossing the ocean, as well as intercontinental ballistic missiles.” “This is a weapon from which we have no protection,” he pointed out.
The senator also noted the growing danger to the United States from China. “Beijing is modernizing and expanding its nuclear forces at an eye-popping rate. It will probably overtake the US in the early 2030s,” Wicker continued.”

Yet the morons in DC are hell bent of poking the Bear. <<<Dumb fucks.
That is why I wrote the case for nuclear war. The Cabal wants to wipe out the USA one way or another and are not above using nukes to do it.
It is the land they want; it is the people they don’t need. The land is more valuable than many serfs. I do not believe they want to contaminate the land except as a last resort. If nuclear war actually occurs on a global scale it will be because the cabal has lost and as Alfred says, “Some people just want to watch the world burn.”
I never thought about it until now but that may be why Revelation talks about a new heaven and new earth. The old earth was not only corrupted but literally contaminated.
Which is why I floated neutron bomb, a week or two ago.
They want the land, unspoiled.
I haven’t heard much about neutron bombs in many years. I wonder how many they have.
Dunno. Here’s what a couple quick searches pulled up.
Google What countries have neutron bombs?
Do Russians have neutron bombs?
US – Bush in 1992, following the end of the Cold War. The last W70 Mod 3 warhead was dismantled in 1996, and the last W79 Mod 0 was dismantled by 2003, when the dismantling of all W79 variants was completed. According to the Cox Report, as of 1999 the United States had never deployed a neutron weapon.
From Wiki.
A neutron bomb, officially defined as a type of enhanced radiation weapon (ERW), is a low-yield thermonuclear weapon designed to maximize lethal neutron radiation in the immediate vicinity of the blast while minimizing the physical power of the blast itself. The neutron release generated by a nuclear fusion reaction is intentionally allowed to escape the weapon, rather than being absorbed by its other components.[3] The neutron burst, which is used as the primary destructive action of the warhead, is able to penetrate enemy armor more effectively than a conventional warhead, thus making it more lethal as a tactical weapon.
The concept was originally developed by the United States in the late 1950s and early 1960s. It was seen as a “cleaner” bomb for use against massed Soviet armored divisions. As these would be used over allied nations, notably West Germany, the reduced blast damage was seen as an important advantage.[4][5]
ERWs were first operationally deployed for anti-ballistic missiles (ABMs). In this role the burst of neutrons would cause nearby warheads to undergo partial fission, preventing them from exploding properly. For this to work, the ABM would have to explode within approximately 100 metres (300 ft) of its target. The first example of such a system was the W66, used on the Sprint missile used in the US Nike-X system. It is believed the Soviet equivalent, the A-135‘s 53T6 missile, uses a similar design.[6][7]
The weapon was once again proposed for tactical use by the United States in the 1970s and 1980s, and production of the W70 began for the MGM-52 Lance in 1981. This time it led to protests as the growing anti-nuclear movement gained strength through this period. Opposition was so intense that European leaders refused to accept it on their territory. US President Ronald Reagan ordered the production of the W70-3, which remained in the US stockpile until they were retired in 1992. The last W70 was dismantled in February 1996.[8]
Also gives a tiny bit of credence to the idea that sending millions of people from other places to Western nations thins out the populace in resource rich countries and puts the humans in much more densely confined cities. Easier to target?
Well that’s a sobering thought. They and the malignant forces that drive them need to decimated …like yesterday
100% agree, with your conclusion and artile(s).

GOP Presidential Field Rallies Around One Idea: Declare Drug Cartels Terrorists
FTA
Snip … “… Once the Mexican drug cartels are placed in the same legal category as al-Qaeda and ISIS, the Republicans now competing for the presidency have revealed an appetite for more than financial assets. Former President Donald Trump, who is running again in 2024, promised in January that he would “designate the major drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations” and then deploy special forces to “inflict maximum damage” on their infrastructure and operations.
A Trump campaign spokesman told RCP that the goal is simple: “Stop the scourge of drugs and violence from crossing our southern border.” The plan, straightforward: “Declare war on the cartels.”

Those who read my BIMD about the House of Haslam will now better understand why Buffett has made the closing of the purchase of the family stock of Pilot Flying J such that Berkshire will own 80% control – making it wholly owned per corporate law.
This is the way the globalists do things. They get in bed with RINOs like the Haslams who have been successful in business and carving out a national niche. They capitalize on scratching their itches to do other things – politics, sports, etc. The purchase of the family owned giant is arranged over time to both’s benefit. Buffett forks over $11.4 B over 5.5 years with the Haslams still retaining 20% to take advantage of Buffett’s future plans.
Buffett is getting bigger in distribution. Going for control of all things tied to the population’s needs. Food, energy, construction materials, housing, EV’s, etc. PFJ is already contracted with GM for 2000 EV charging stations in their travel centers by 2026.
