On this day and every day –

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


Hopefully, every Sunday, we can find something here that will build us up a little . . . give us 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.”


Valley of the Shadow of Death

Psalm 23:4, which reads, “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me” (ESV), is one of the most well-known verses in the Bible. It is commonly used during funerals or by those approaching death. The message of Psalm 23:4 is one of comfort. We do not need to fear. God is with us, and His presence gives us strength and hope.

However, “valley of the shadow of death” is possibly not the most accurate translation of the original Hebrew text. The NIV, NLT, and HCBS translate the phrase as “darkest valley,” resulting in Psalm 23:4 reading as, “Even though I walk through the darkest valley . . . .” The Hebrew word for “shadow of death” is sal-ma-wet, which means “darkness” or “dark shadows.” It contains the same root as the Hebrew word for “death” (ma-wet), so it is easy to see why some Bible translators include the mention of death in Psalm 23:4.

In addition, the concept of darkness fits much better in the context of Psalm 23. Psalm 23, especially verses 1–4, uses the language of a shepherd and his sheep to describe our relationship with God: “The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. . . . Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me” (Psalm 23:1–4).

Sheep do not understand the concept of death. They do understand, though, that entering a dark valley can be dangerous. The point of Psalm 23:4 is that, even when we might have reason to be afraid, we do not need to fear, because God is with us, and He will take care of us. He, like a shepherd, knows what He is doing and has our best interests in mind.

So, it does not appear that “valley of the shadow of death” is the most accurate translation in Psalm 23:4. A “dark valley” connects much better with sheep lying down in green pastures and beside quiet waters. However, the main point of Psalm 23:4 still definitely applies to death. Many people fear death, and those facing death certainly feel as if they are in a “dark valley.” But even in death we do not need to fear, for God is with us, and He will protect and comfort us through it all.

These dirtbags would never wave the American flag like that.

They would be repulsed by anything so ‘right wing’ as love of America, anything so patriotic, so jingoistic, so nationalist.

But they LOVE to wave the Nazi Ukraine flag as they send hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars to the Ukrainian Laundromat.

They would have to be showing evidence (or “evidence”) of a serious existential threat to the US in order to get that many people into line.

And many on the left simply wouldn’t give a crap about that (or say “good!” in their thought bubbles).

I suspect that if they don’t have the dirt when the politicians arrive in D.C., they set them up to make them dirty so they can use it later.

Today most of the Michigan clan is gathering to celebrate my parents’ 62nd anniversary. This will be the First Time all 5 Great-Granddaughters will be together (ranging in age from 1 month to 2 1/3 years). It will hopefully be a special time. When my parents reached Five Granddaughters they already had Five Grandsons. So far there is only One Great-Grandson, but he lives in OK w/ my brother’s daughter & SIL so they won’t be present. We are all thankful for a Godly Heritage & full quivers!

’62???

I didn’t realize you’re a young ‘un.

Valerie Curren

It’s all a matter of perspective. I just hit the big 6 OH (no) in February. I’m the oldest of 3 kids & older than all my SIL’s (current & former) & even beat my hubby by almost 3 years. I jokingly say it took God almost 3 years to create a guy that could be my “perfect match”…& he is technically a miracle child himself. His father was “shot in the balls” by his own father & never expected to have children. His dad had been married at least once before & his ex sued my teenage hubby for his (minimal) inheritance after his father died, but Hubby’s side won in court. There still was speculation that he might not have been his dad’s bio child but Ancestry DNA has pretty much put that all to rest now. My husband’s dad was 56 when he was born, which was about my hubby’s age when he became a grandfather. Hubby’s mom “dedicated him to the Lord” when he was a baby, & at that time she wasn’t even a Christian! God’s miraculous Hand has been a part of the journey in numerous ways  😇

another BLM fraudster who used donation to buy things for himself…shocker. stole $450,000
FTA
Yet another Black Lives Matter activist has been convicted of defrauding donors out of hundreds of thousands of dollars.
In a press release on Thursday, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Ohio confirmed that Sir Maejor Page, 35, of Toledo, was convicted wire fraud and three counts of money laundering following a six-day trial.
The release stated:

According to court documents and testimony, in 2016, Page created a Facebook page for “Black Lives Matter of Greater Atlanta” (“BLMGA”) and registered this organization as a domestic non-profit with the Georgia Secretary of State Corporation’s Division. In 2017, the IRS approved Page’s request granting BLMGA tax-exempt status under Section 503(c)(3) of the tax code, but dissolved this status in 2019.

Page nonetheless accepted donations after falsely portraying BLMGA to the public as a legitimate charity engaged in social justice work, when in fact, it was not. Instead, Page used the money that individual donors gave to BLMGA not for social justice causes, but rather to buy items for his own personal use, such as a house and furniture. Page also committed money-laundering crimes when he bought these items with the donations that he fraudulently obtained.

News to me. Thought Niger issue was just about us getting kicked out of the country in another “You’re no longer welcome here” moment. Seems our troops have been sitting there now for almost a full year without resupply according to this interchange and Blinken has managed to keep it a secret for this long.

From Fox News yesterday. Current status of troops in Niger. Looks like this is going to continue to drag on for a while and Fox does not carry a whiff of news about our troops not able to be resupplied. Just a hum drum withdrawl! Meaning Fox isn’t covering the news , the are covering for Blinken instead.

This is funny. Had two of my comments put on wait status over at GWP concerning this story. At first I thought it was for saying “covering Blinkens butt” so I changed it to “covering Blinken’s back side”, but that didn’t work either. Then it dawned on me what the story was about and I posted this which got through the censoring bots.

“Trying to figure out why my comments keep going on “hold”. Then realize the story is about what is happening in * and if I mention * in the story, my comments go on hold. With that in mind will try to repost my comments by using * instead of *.

Friday Fox News reported about the start of the withdrawal making it sound like negotiations are just getting started to make it happen. Fox makes zero mention that the withdrawal is being forced, that our troops have not been resupplied for nearly a year now. In other words Nox News is not covering the news, they are covering Blinken’s back side.

Yes I remember the beginning of this from last year, but had no idea that Biden and Blinken were so impotent and would let it deteriorate to this level. I will not be surprised if * forces the US Army to abandon it’s equipment and end up getting forced marched weaponless from the country as that is where this is heading.

Sabotage the equipment and weapons. All spec ops know how to do this. Grunts in Nam routinely “hot loaded” random cartridges in ammo belts and left them for the enemy to find and use.

Then they can agreeably leave it all behind.

Putting a comment on hold because it contains the word Niger in a story about Niger seems odd.

So why don’t they take their guns, and go get some medicine and water?

Or just order delivery?

Or if no one will help them, why don’t they just leave? Buy a plane ticket and come home?

If my government abandoned me in Niger, then I no longer have any obligation to that government, but I do have an obligation to save my own life and the lives of my fellow soldiers.

Charter a plane direct to D.C., and walk in to an open session of Congress in full military gear, with weapons, and ask the criminals DID YOU CLOWNS JUST FORGET ABOUT US?

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.

SERVANT OF ALL

 

Who is the greatest boxer of all time?
Who bragged he was a superstar so sublime?
Who was the runner who outran the rest?
Who clocked in his time as the very best?

Who was the richest man recently noted?
Who had wealth so vast – ego so bloated?
Who was the most famous movie star of all?
Pardon me – please – I really cannot recall!

When will the first be the last you ask?
For many are called and taken to task;
Who are the few that are chosen to be?
Elevated by God – for eternity!

It is the man with a humble, contrite heart;
Who repents of his sin from the very start;
His head hung in sorrow – he fervently pleads;
He knows it’s forgiveness – he surely needs!

He who gives thanks for blessings each day;
Is well aware of what Father would say;
If he took the choicest in life as his own;
Shared neither his wealth nor what he had sown!

If each seat taken was the best in the house;
First and foremost – and forever the louse;
Would his mansion in Heaven be the best?
Or would the fiery furnace be eternal rest?

Are we like the man who was hung on the tree?
Are we poor, humble, and as kind as He?
Compassionate, loving, and caring toward all?
Gentle, long-suffering – virtually – on call?

Do we look for attention at every turn?
Is it fame and fortune for which we yearn?
Do we take the first seat or sit in the last?
Are we meek and humble – securely steadfast?

The greatest of all is not one who’s achieved;
The best and the brightest are not conceived;
It’s the few who – among many – He will call;
The greatest will be the servant of all!

None of this ever happens in a male-dominated society.

Not once, not ever.

ALL of the insanity taking place today can be traced to a lack of traditional male dominance.

No normal, rational, masculine male, in a position of power or authority, would tolerate or accept any of it.

Deviant behavior would either be properly punished or diagnosed as mental illness and treated.

But because there is no male dominance, there is no one to put the brakes on.

And the train it won’t stop going, no way to slow down.

singingsoul1

Maybe the food kids eat the milk they drink all the hormones that is in the food and water and the toxic spray? Young experimenting sexually and school indoctrination. There is no respect for once own body and no values are taught in the home. When kids see so much divorce parents bed jumping. Divorce is sad and is warranted when one spouse cheats or abuses . Kids think all goes and these are the results. So many family units are broken and young people are broken also.

All of the gender stuff that’s happened in the last 4 years, started with drag queen worship. Then it moved over to trans adults, next trans teens and then trans children. Then it was nonstop hype for trans clinics to mutilate one sex to the other. Now it’s no sexual organs at all?
Bona fide surgeons and medical professionals are participating in all of it. Mental health professionals are mute.
Something bad has happened to humanity for this to have morphed into acceptable practice this quickly.
Even though there are millions worldwide that don’t accept it , it continues on with each next step worse than the last one.

It all leads back to what they really want. No reproduction. This dolling your genitals thing really demonstrates it.

Just another stick on the fire to bring about the 14 out of 15 got go thing and it matters not how insane it makes people cause 14 out of 15 got to go, so from their perspective “who cares”.

mollypitcher5

It seems that way. Interesting too that the USA leads the way. There’s been some European clinics that have performed gender surgeries but I don’t think it’s anywhere close to the amount of the clinics/doctors/hospitals here that offer it.
No reproduction with severe mental illness…becoming part of school curriculum teaching children to view it as normal and if they show the slightest bit of confusion which is normal, then the secret grooming begins.

USA actively warping the next generations’
USA abandoning sovereignty.
USA courting any and all invaders.
USA trashing law and order.
USA deliberately becoming unable to provide for our own needs (foods, medicine, fuel)
USA instituting political prosecution and incarceration.
USA weaponizing religion.

Are we there yet? Way beyond the bottom of the slippery slope?

I agree.

But in order for men to step up, women need to step down, and get out of the way.

pgroup2

Sorry, I misread your comment.

There is no date because we have free will. Therefore, nothing can be hard set in advance.

What our Creator does [has done] is lay out an agenda and a time line. He has told us in Scripture about certain events that will happen along that time line [prophecies].

That way, when those things happen, we can know how far along the time line we are.

The only hard point I know is that Scripture has said that the Gospel must be preached to all the world before Christ will return. Exactly what that looks like is murky at best. The best course of action is to get right with God and stay that way.

Valerie Curren

Could be 😉 😉

Just try to imagine how insane a person must be, to remove their genitals. I mean, talking about it is one level of insanity, but actually going through with it is a whole other magnitude of insanity.

Now imagine how insane a person must be, to save up money, to pay someone to do it to them.

I realize no one can imagine such a thing, that’s why I said ‘try’ 😂

Two Dead, 14 Wounded, shot at Memphis “Block Party”, part of America’s Lawless Leftist Cities

The “motive unknown”. Okay. These are mostly teenagers or young adults. This is urban jungle life . From cradle to grave it’s like this. Any rational group of civilized American teens wouldn’t be carefree partying behind a bunch of weapon toting thugs. Logic says that at any time the shooting begins.
They must need a new rec center. Isn’t that always the answer?

“motive unknown”

^^^ Motive? It’s ghetto. Violence ISS what ghetto does, daily.

WTF people just standing there and watching?

mollypitcher5

Other local reports say that there were 200 people , maybe more. Families (with adults i assume) and not one of them called for police? There’s no real outrage except from “others” commenting on the ever growing Memphis violence.

Friday night, another local headline… Two children injured in late night downtown Memphis shooting
Memphis Police said both children were rushed to LeBonheur, one in critical condition.

No details. No follow up Just another day in the hood.. Those Black Lives don’t matter to BLM or any other race based activists because a white person didn’t kill them.

pgroup2

So a black life gains value if a white takes that life?

So whites are needed and valuable after all since without them, no black lives can ever matter.

Got it.  🤔

Oh look, it was “show and tell” at Bring Your Own Firearm day.

“Online, some have already claimed that the media will not report on this incident because many of the rally participants appear to be African Americans.

The political left typically complains about the way language is used related to racial crime stories, and the political right sometimes complains about how the mainstream media suppresses the race of criminal defendants or in the presentation of crime statistics to hide the frequency of offenses by specific racial groups.”

Many?

Take a look at that photo.

Is there ANYONE who isn’t black in that photo?

Even one single person?

Nope.

I think I see one. A guy at the front, just right of the person with a light green hoodie, holding up a gun. The guy is facing the camera and seems to be much lighter skinned. White or perhaps hispanic? I certainly get your point though.

scott467

I saw him, but I don’t think that’s a white dude.

Imagine being a white guy, by himself, in Memphis, in that crowd.

Think about how black people routinely treat white people, even in places where a white person isn’t alone. On subways, in malls, at groceries, at schools, you name it.

A black person would have a better chance showing up at a Klan meeting in the 1800s.

At least there he would be wearing a hood and robes.  😂

It was like a war zone… wait for the shooting to start at about the 12 second mark:

One major branch of convenience stores here was (until very recently) called “Kum & Go” which wouldn’t have been so bad except for that spelling.

They got bought out by a different chain called Maverik. Oddly enough Maverik had to sell most of its existing stores to be able to make the purchase.

NEW: In statement to
@FoxNews
, the Border Patrol union responds to the passing of the $95 billion foreign aid package: “We are beyond disappointed that the House would give aid to secure the borders of foreign countries, but gave nothing to allow the Border Patrol to secure the safety of the United States. There’s nothing more backwards. I wouldn’t have even expected tax payer’s dollars. They could have given us policy, and that would have been enough.” – Brandon Judd, President, National Border Patrol Council Reminder: Judd/BP Union supported the bipartisan border deal that was attached to this foreign funding before Republicans killed it.

mollypitcher5

All meaningful words and sentiment but money is only a small reason the borders aren’t secure. It’s policy more than money but we can pretend it’s lack of money..

I agree. Once the rhetoric and lies are pushed off to the side that’s exactly what it is.

Give me a break! This is the lamest book promotion I’ve ever seen. Of course there’s more to it than that, but that people are expected to believe this pretense is insulting, IMO.

As rumors are swirling that former First Lady Michelle Obama could possibly replace Biden as the Democratic presidential nominee, it appears she’s more focused on promoting her newest book.

In a video that has gone viral, Michelle Obama was spotted going undercover at a Target in St. Louis, Missouri in an attempt to see if the retail chain was still carrying her book “The Light We Carry.”

Michelle starts the video by saying, “We are on a mission. It’s a secret mission.”

“I had the crazy idea. I heard my paperback is out and IT’S in Target. So we are going to go undercover because I have not seen my book actually in a Target store. So we are going to try to do this low-key.” added Michelle.

pgroup2

Well, … you might wanna ditch the black Suburbans and go with used Camrys.

If you’re really on a secret mission, that is.

TheseTruths

It’s so silly. If she wants to know if her book is there, she can:
1.Have her people call the store and ask.
2.Send one of her minions to check.
3.Ask people on her social media accounts to look.

pat frederick

right! she just wanted to see if should could generate any interest/excitement in her being there…testing the waters so to speak.
if she didn’t get accolades and being falling all over her, she won’t do it again.

Republican Rep. Kat Cammack’s Office Drafting Legislation to Ban Foreign Flags in House Chamber

Cammack posted a video of the sea of yellow and blue flags and wrote, “Watching American representatives pass out & wave Ukrainian flags in the United States House of Representatives chamber infuriated me. As we speak, my team is drafting legislation that will prohibit the display of foreign nations’ flags on the House floor.”

“If there is one room in our country that should only have the American flag present, it is this room,” Cammack added.

The congresswoman also asked supporters to “Tag Members of Congress who you want to co-sponsor this bill!”

scott467

More band-aid approach.

Ban the kind of people who would wave foreign flags in the first place. Shame them, take them outside, tar and feather them, send them away.

But that would take actual guts, and a willingness to engage in physical confrontation on the House floor with the riffraff and scum who wave foreign flags.

There was a time when smaller, less radical steps should have been taken.

But they weren’t.

Now it’s a full grown monster, and the only thing that has ever stopped such a monster is confrontation and force.

Passing another law that will never be enforced doesn’t accomplish anything. It actually makes things worse, because when they ignore the law and wave the foreign flags again, nobody will do anything about it.

And everyone will see, once again, that the criminal element is above the law.

When there is no rule of law, passing more laws is not the answer.

All those little flags in Congress makes me wish we were bombing them ourselves. Or that we’d do a Soleimani on that murderous clown Zelenskyy.

I hope people are seeing it.

Separate research showed “for every life saved, there were nearly 14 times more deaths caused by the modified mRNA [COVID-19] injections”

How do they know if even one life was saved by getting the vax? How is that determined?

Yes. The evidence is piling up — and it is rapidly getting to the point that the evidence cannot be ignored.

This is why the CDC posted that COMPLETE LIE “report” that “there’s no evidence to link the COVID-19 vaccination and cardiac death among young people” on the agency’s MMWR (Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report) of 11 April 2024.
https://tomrenz.substack.com/p/fact-check-cdc-lies-again-about-c
“FACT CHECK: CDC Lies [Again] About C-19 Vax / Injuries”
Attorney Tom Renz
21 April 2024

Here’s the link to the COMPLETE LIE report from the CDC:
http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/73/wr/mm7314a5.htm
“Assessment of Risk for Sudden Cardiac Death Among Adolescents and Young Adults After Receipt of COVID-19 Vaccine — Oregon, June 2021 – December 2022”
Yours Truly: The CDC literally “hand-picked” a small sample of data from Oregon (1,300 persons sample size) and came up with this lie.
And, of course, the lying MSM is running full tilt with the lie.
Meanwhile, at http://www.openvaers.com/, the most recent listing for deaths from the COVID-19 “vaccines” stands at 37,382.
Given that reporting to VAERS is between 40% – 90% UNDER-reported, the REAL figure for deaths from the COVID-19 “vaccines” in VAERS should really be between 52,334 and 71,025.
Meanwhile, Dr. Peter A. McCullough states that likely around 550,000 Americans have died from the COVID-19 “vaccines.”

Meanwhile, there is a link in the Attorney Renz Substack to YET ANOTHER “CONFIDENTIAL” report from Pfizer-BioNTech given to the FDA ON 19 AUGUST 2022 which indicates that was a cumulative total of 4,964,108 cases of adverse reactions, including deaths, in persons who took the company’s “flagship” modRNA COVID-19 “vaccine”, BNT162b2. This report covers ONLY the period of SIX MONTHS between 19 December 2021 through 18 June 2022.

Here is the link to the Pfizer-BioNTech report:
http://www.globalresearch.ca/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/pfizer-report.pdf
APPENDIX 2.2: Cumulative and Interval Summary Tabulation of Serious and Non-Serious Adverse Reactions from Post-Marketing Data Sources BNT162b2
Yours Truly: The “official release” of this report runs to 393 pages. HOWEVER, there is ANOTHER page number at the bottom of each page of the “official release” 393 pages, indicating that the COMPLETE report is actually 1,213 pages.
The question is, WHO IS HIDING THE OTHER 820 PAGES?

IMO, it is inconceivable that the CDC did not know of the above Pfizer-BioNTech report.

“10 Other Things Mike Johnson Wants To Fund Before The Border”
POLITICS · Apr 19, 2024 · BabylonBee.com

comment image
“Speaker of the House Mike Johnson has sent a clear message: there are things that are simply more important than securing the U.S. border. In fact, you may be surprised to learn just how long his list actually is.
The Babylon Bee has obtained the following list of things Mike Johnson wants to fund before he even thinks about protecting the border:

  1. Impoverished Haitian cannibals: They can’t even afford more nutritious grass-fed humans.
  2. Sean Hannity: If Sean isn’t on the air to get the establishment talking points out there, who will?
  3. Crocheting classes for trans Syrian refugees: One of the most significant problems facing the country — and the world.
  4. Double-decker transcontinental bridge to Antarctica for the North American land snail: You don’t want to live in a world where snails can’t get to the South Pole, do you?
  5. $12 billion to remake The Princess Bride with puppets: Expecting this project to be privately funded is simply inconceivable.
  6. Unlimited research grant to find out why grass is green: This is the type of groundbreaking, life-altering research everyone needs.
  7. $8 billion to plant tiny little American flags in every pile of San Francisco sidewalk poop: We have to claim the poo before it gets taken over by the Chinese.
  8. Six Flags Over Ukraine amusement park: Nothing will help beleaguered, war-torn Ukrainians like riding a few rollercoasters.
  9. National shelter for abused and abandoned furries: Reach out today to adopt a furry of your own.
  10. Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan: Also, Russia, Gaza, and China. And every other country except for the United States.

Though the Speaker’s office admitted that the list above is not exhaustive, it gives you a better idea of why it’s taking so long to fortify the border. There’s only so much U.S. taxpayer money to go around, and expecting it to go toward anything that helps people in the U.S. is just unreasonable.”
