2025·01·18 Joe Biden Didn’t Win (And Neither Did Kamala Harris) Daily Thread

2 days, 11 hours, 59 minutes until the Once And Future President, Donald John Trump, is restored to the office that was Rightfully his the last four years.

Not that I’m counting, mind you.

What is it that feeds our battle, yet starves our victory?

Our Turn

[Yes, I did this one ten weeks ago. But it was too cathartic to just throw away.]

We’ve often seen that quote from David Plouffe: “It is not enough to simply beat Trump. He must be destroyed thoroughly. His kind must not rise again.”

This was of course a declaration of intent to annihilate not just Trump, but rather “his kind.”

You know what? I think we should flip it around. David Plouffe’s kind should be destroyed thoroughly and their kind must not rise again.

What is Plouffe’s kind? I suppose it depends on who’s talking and what they are thinking of in particular. Well, at the moment it’s me talking and I am thinking of the sort of maggot who is attracted to politics not to better his world but rather so that he can wield power over others, or line their pockets with “free” money. Often these people end up as what Ayn Rand called “pull peddlers,” receiving money in exchange for using their connections to do favors.

This type is parasitic. Utterly parasitic. And they should be destroyed thoroughly and not allowed to rise again.

The bad news is we will never eradicate them. Useless turds who can’t do anything productive will always be with us. As will the outright sociopaths.

Of course they find Trump to be their enemy. And of course they find us to be their enemy. If we won’t simply lie down and let our “betters” have their way with us, we’re a problem, we’re something to be got rid of. And of late, we haven’t lain down without a protest, as we are “supposed” to do. Dang uppity Garbage Deplorables! We don’t know our place!!!

The good news is we can provide far fewer niches for these parasites. The niches come into being when something that people formerly did of their own free will is taken over by the government; then every aspect of that activity becomes a political football.

Take for instance education. Since the government runs it, if you don’t like what’s being done, you have to form a political movement and try to work your way around the maggots embedded in the bureaucracy. If education were private, then if you didn’t like what they were doing to your child, you’d take your money and your child elsewhere. And people who didn’t even have school-age children presently would have no voice–and not have to pay money. Making it a government “thing” turned it into a political thing, and the maggots began to swarm.

So we wreck them by seriously cutting government and giving them fewer places to exist. Among all of the other benefits, the body politic would have fewer sociopaths and parasites in it.

People like Plouffe are the same type, but they are the full-on political hacks who set policy, rather than implement it. They’re just as bad if not worse; they help government grow, and steer it into serving its own ends, rather than those of the people it is supposed to be serving.

The Deep State is nothing more than a government that serves its own ends.

And we have had enough of this.

They must be destroyed thoroughly, and their kind must not rise again.

This election wasn’t the end, it was the beginning. There are millions of these malignancies in this country and we’ve just defeated two of them. Keep pushing. Now we can go after them wholesale.

It’s our turn.

Our turn.

Our turn.

OUR TURN!

You stole the 2020 election. You’ve mocked and ridiculed and put people in prison and broken people’s lives because you said this thing was stolen. This entire phony thing is getting swept out. Biden’s getting swept out. Kamala Harris is getting swept out. MSNBC is getting swept out. The Justice Department is getting swept out. The FBI is getting swept out. You people suck, okay?! And now you’re going to pay the price for trying to destroy this country.

And I’m going to tell you, we’re going to get to the bottom of where the 600,000 votes [are]. You manufactured them to steal this election from President Trump in 2020. And think what this country would be if we hadn’t gone through the last four years of your madness, okay? You don’t deserve any respect, you don’t deserve any empathy, and you don’t deserve any pity.

And if anybody gives it to you, it’s Donald J. Trump, because he’s got a big heart and he’s a good man. A good man that you’re still gonna try to put in prison on the 26th of this month. This is how much you people suck. Okay? You’ve destroyed his business thing. And he came back.

He came back in the greatest show of political courage, I think, in world history. Like, [Roman statesman] Cincinnatus coming back from the plough [returning to politics to rescue the Roman Republic]. He’s the American Cincinnatus. And what he has done is a profile in courage. We’ve had his back. But I got to tell you, he may be empathetic. He may have a kind heart. He may be a good man. But we’re not. Okay? And you deserve, as Natalie Winters says, not retribution, justice. But you deserve what we call rough Roman justice, and we’re prepared to give it to you.

Steve Bannon, on election night

OUR TURN!!

OUR TURN!!!

January 6 Tapes?

Paging Speaker Johnson…this is your conscience calling you out on broken promises.

For all your high talk about your Christian moral background…you’re looking less and less like you have any kind of moral background.

If You are a Patriot and Don’t Loathe RINOs…

Let’s talk about RINOs, and why they are the lowest form of life in politics.

Many patriots have been involved with politics, often at the grassroots, for decades. We’ve fought, and fought, and fought and won the occasional illusory small victory.

Yet we can’t seem to win the war, even when we have BIG electoral wins.

I am reminded of something. The original Star Trek had an episode titled Day of the Dove. It was one of the better episodes from the third season, but any fan of the original series will tell you that’s a very low bar. Still, it seems to get some respect; at a time when there were about 700 episodes of Star Trek in its various incarnations out there, it was voted 99th best out of the top 100.

In sum, the plot is that an alien entity has arranged for 39 Enterprise crew, and 39 Klingons, to fight each other endlessly with swords and other muscle-powered weapons. The entity lives off of hostile emotions, you see and it wants a captive food source. (The other 400 or so Enterprise crew are trapped below decks and unable to help.) Each side has its emotions played and amplified by the alien entity; one Enterprise junior officer has false memories implanted of a brother who was killed by Klingons. The brother didn’t even exist.

Even people killed in a sword fight miraculously heal so they can go do it again.

The second best line of the episode is when Kang, the Klingon captain, notes that though they have won quite a number of small victories including capturing Engineering, can’t seem to actually finally defeat the Enterprise crew. He growls, “What power is it that feeds our battle yet starves our victory?*”

Indeed. He may have been the bad guy, but his situation should sound familiar.

We are a majority in this country. We have a powerful political party in our corner. There is endless wrangling.

And yet,

What power is it that feeds our battle yet starves our victory?

In our case, that power is the RINOs in our midst. They specialize in caving when on the verge of victory. Think of Obamacare’s repeal failing…by one Republican vote. Think of the way we can never seem to get spending under control (and now our entire tax revenue goes to pay interest on the debt; anything the government actually does now is with borrowed money).

We have a party…that refuses to do what we want it to do, and that refusal is institutionalized. If you’ve been involved with GOP politics, but haven’t seen this, it’s because you refuse to see it. Or because you are part of the problem yourself. (If so, kindly gargle some red fuming nitric acid to clear the taste of shit out of your mouth, and let those not part of the problem alone so they can read this.)

We fight to elect people, who then take a dive when in office. But it’s not just the politicians in office, it’s the people behind the scenes, the leaders of the national, state and county branches of the party. Their job is to ensure that real patriots never get onto the general election ballot. They’re allowed a few failures…who can then become token conservatives who will somehow never manage to win (Jordan), or can be compromised outright (Lauren Boebert?).

That way it doesn’t actually matter who has a congressional majority. I remember my excitement when the GOP took the Senate in 1980. But all that did was empower a bunch of “moderate” puddles of dog vomit like…well for whatever reason forty years later the most memorable name is Pete Domenici. And a couple of dozen other “moderates” who simply had no interest in doing what grassroots people in their party–those same grassroots people who had worked so hard to elect them–wanted them to do.

Oh, they’ll put up a semblance of a fight…but never win. And they love it when we fight the Dems instead of fighting them. Just like that alien entity, whose motto surely was “Let’s you and him fight. It’ll be delicious!”

If you think about it, your entire political involvement has come to nothing because of these walking malignant tumors.

That should make you good and mad.

The twenty five who blocked Jordan, and the hundred people who took that opportunity to stab Jordan in the back in the secret ballot should make you good and mad.

I’ll close this with another example of RINO backstabbing, an infuriating one close to home.

In my county, the GOP chair is not a RINO. She got elected when the grassroots had had enough of the RINOs. Unfortunately the state organization is full of RINOs, and the ousted county RINOs have been trying to form a new “Republican Party” and get the state GOP to recognize them as the affiliate. I’m honestly amazed it hasn’t happened yet.

In other words those shitstains won’t just leave when they get booted out; they’ll try to destroy what they left behind. It’s an indication that they know we know how important that behind-the-scenes party power is.

So they must be destroyed. That’s the only way they’ll ever stop.

We cannot win until the leeches “on our side” get destroyed.

What power is it that feeds our battle yet starves our victory?*

We know it. What is going to be done about it?

*NOTE: The original line was actually “What power is it that supports our battle yet starves our victory.” I had mis-remembered it as feeds. When I checked it, it sure enough was “supports” and that’s what I originally quoted. On further reflection, though, I realized my memory was actually an improvement over the reality, because feeds is a perfect contrast with starves. I changed it partway through the day this originally posted, but now (since this is a re-run) it gets rendered this way from the start.

If one must do things wrong, one should do them wrong…right.

RINOs an Endangered Species?
If Only!

According to Wikipoo, et. al., the Northern White Rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum cottoni) is a critically endangered species. Apparently two females live on a wildlife preserve in Sudan, and no males are known to be alive. So basically, this species is dead as soon as the females die of old age. Presently they are watched over by armed guards 24/7.

Biologists have been trying to cross them with the other subspecies, Southern White Rhinoceroses (Rhinoceri?) without success; and some genetic analyses suggest that perhaps they aren’t two subspecies at all, but two distinct species, which would make the whole project a lot more difficult.

I should hope if the American RINO (Parasitus rectum pseudoconservativum) is ever this endangered, there will be heroic efforts not to save the species, but rather to push the remainder off a cliff. Onto punji sticks. With feces smeared on them. Failing that a good bath in red fuming nitric acid will do.

But I’m not done ranting about RINOs.

The RINOs (if they are capable of any introspection whatsoever) probably wonder why they constantly have to deal with “populist” eruptions like the Trump-led MAGA movement. That would be because the so-called populists stand for absolutely nothing except for going along to get along. That allows the Left to drive the culture and politics.

Given the results of our most recent elections, the Left will now push harder, and the RINOs will now turn even squishier than they were before.

I well remember 1989-1990 in my state when the RINO establishment started preaching the message that a conservative simply couldn’t win in Colorado. Never mind the fact that Reagan had won the state TWICE (in 1984 bringing in a veto-proof state house and senate with him) and GHWB had won after (falsely!) assuring everyone that a vote for him was a vote for Reagan’s third term.

This is how the RINOs function. They push, push, push the line that only a “moderate” can get elected. Stomp them when they pull that shit. Tell everyone in ear shot that that’s exactly what the Left wants you to think, and oh-by-the-way-Mister-RINO if you’re in this party selling the same message as the Left…well, whythefuckexactly are you in this party, you lying piece of rancid weasel shit?

Justice

It says “Justice” on the picture.

And I’m sure someone will post the standard joke about what the fish thinks about the situation.

But what is it?

Here’s a take, from a different context: It’s about how you do justice, not the justice that must be done to our massively corrupt government and media. You must properly identify the nature of a person, before you can do him justice.

Ayn Rand, On Justice (speaking through her character John Galt, in Atlas Shrugged):

Justice is the recognition of the fact that you cannot fake the character of men as you cannot fake the character of nature, that you must judge all men as conscientiously as you judge inanimate objects, with the same respect for truth, with the same incorruptible vision, by as pure and as rational a process of identification—that every man must be judged for what he is and treated accordingly, that just as you do not pay a higher price for a rusty chunk of scrap than for a piece of shining metal, so you do not value a rotter above a hero—that your moral appraisal is the coin paying men for their virtues or vices, and this payment demands of you as scrupulous an honor as you bring to financial transactions—that to withhold your contempt from men’s vices is an act of moral counterfeiting, and to withhold your admiration from their virtues is an act of moral embezzlement—that to place any other concern higher than justice is to devaluate your moral currency and defraud the good in favor of the evil, since only the good can lose by a default of justice and only the evil can profit—and that the bottom of the pit at the end of that road, the act of moral bankruptcy, is to punish men for their virtues and reward them for their vices, that that is the collapse to full depravity, the Black Mass of the worship of death, the dedication of your consciousness to the destruction of existence.

Ayn Rand identified seven virtues, chief among them rationality. The other six, including justice, she considered subsidiary because they are essentially different aspects and applications of rationality.

—Ayn Rand Lexicon (aynrandlexicon.com)

Justice Must Be Done.

Trump, it is supposed, had some documents.

Biden and company stole the country.

I’m sure enough of this that I put my money where my mouth is.

The prior election must be acknowledged as fraudulent, and steps must be taken to prosecute the fraudsters and restore integrity to the system. (This doesn’t necessarily include deposing Joe and Hoe and putting Trump where he belongs, but it would certainly be a lot easier to fix our broken electoral system with the right people in charge.)

Nothing else matters at this point. Talking about trying again in 2024 or 2026 is pointless otherwise. Which is not to say one must never talk about this, but rather that one must account for this in ones planning; if fixing the fraud in the system is not part of the plan, you have no plan.

This will necessarily be piecemeal, state by state, which is why I am encouraged by those states working to change their laws to alleviate the fraud both via computer and via bogus voters. If enough states do that we might end up with a working majority in Congress and that would be something Trump never really had.

Martin Luther King

The 20th is also Martin Luther King day…a circumstance I find handy this year; it’s a “Floating Holiday” where I work. I can take that day, or take it some other time. I chose this time to take it on Monday.

Of course I’m doing it because it will be cold, and because it’s the end of the Brandon Administration.

But I’ll still say something about MLK. He was a decidedly mixed individual. As are we all. But I think he, and many others of his time, did something important and unpleasant; he (and those others) forced a recognition that even after the Civil War we were being hypocritical on the subject of equality under the law. Those people who descended from those who (shall we say) involuntarily migrated to what is now the United States were still getting the shitty end of the stick in many parts of this country, as a matter of law.

He was one hundred percent correct on that.

Unfortunately his successors have turned the point full circle and want a leg up from the law, supposedly to make up for the past mistreatment, but that can only lead to an endless round of back and forth. There are some signs that MLK himself had he not been killed (he would be turning 96 this year were he still alive), would have been right alongside the race baiters (which include some who were with him), other signs that he wouldn’t have.

But just as Thomas Jefferson penned these words, in spite of owning slaves, the words that eventually shamed us into abolishing the “peculiar institution”:

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights…

I’ll go with what Martin Luther King said…not all that far from where the Inauguration will take place:

And so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.

I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.”

I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.

I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

Emphasis mine. Judge people by the content of their character.

That is as it should be.

I see that, sometimes, on “our” side, at Trump rallies.

I see nothing but reverse racism on the Left. To them the world is defined by what one group does to another, some group must be on top shitting on everyone else. And it shows. There’s a false dichotomy in their thinking. Either white shits on black, or black shits on white. The way to recognize it as a false dichotomy, though, is not to gin up a third “group” to make it a trichotomy, or a fourth group to make it, what, a tetrachotomy? quadrichotomy? Is either of those actually a word? Gee maybe we can have a different group on top every week of the year at least until some jackass makes up a 53rd group! (Let’s leave aside the one or two day remainder you get from dividing 365(or 6) by 7. These are leftists studying critical race theory, not mathematicians.)

How about we do soemthing different? How about we work towards a system where the law shits on NO ONE except those who violate the rights of others?

Spot Prices

Last week:

Gold $2,691.30
Silver $30.46
Platinum $970.00
Palladium $971.00
Rhodium $5,025.00
FRNSI* 129.192-
Gold:Silver 88.355+

This week, at Friday close:

Gold $2,703.00
Silver $30.41
Platinum $948.00
Palladium $975.00
Rhodium $5,000.00
FRNSI* 129.758-
Gold:Silver 88.885+

Gold went up nicely on Thursday, and dropped a bit on Friday but is still just over the 2700 “dollar” mark for the first time in a while. Silver didn’t kept up with those gains and so the gold-to-silver ratio keeps widening.

*The SteveInCO Federal Reserve Note Suckage Index (FRNSI) is a measure of how much the dollar has inflated. It’s the ratio of the current price of gold, to the number of dollars an ounce of fine gold made up when the dollar was defined as 25.8 grains of 0.900 gold. That worked out to an ounce being $20.67+71/387 of a cent. (Note gold wasn’t worth this much back then, thus much gold was $20.67 71/387ths. It’s a subtle distinction. One ounce of gold wasn’t worth $20.67 back then, it was $20.67.) Once this ratio is computed, 1 is subtracted from it so that the number is zero when the dollar is at its proper value, indicating zero suckage.

The Final Experiment: More Fallout

The desperate attempts by Flat Earthers to refute the Final Experiment continue.

It might be easier if they could agree on their attack. Is it A) irrelevant because lights in the sky won’t tell us anything about the shape of the Earth? Or B) filmed in a 360 degree studio so it’s fake? If A) is true B doesn’t matter, yet Eric Dubay the guru is going after B, and I’ve heard Flat Earth Dave go with A. (Flat Earth Dave by the way has often debunked a lot of the “it was faked” arguments including the claims that a chromakey glitch showed it was a green screen…when in fact it actually proved there was no green screen.)

We have a couple of videos by Dave McKeegan. These pretty much cover the gamut of ridiculous attempts to debunk TFE

So does this one, in Professor Dave style (which means he’s willing to be a bit insulting)

Every time I see one of those videos, I’m amazed at the mental space those people live in, where it’s okay to take pot shots and attempt to poke holes in someone else’s work, even accusing them of lying and deceiving, with no proof whatsoever. And the globers endure that and engage in polite discussion. It’s very unusual, IMO.

They have met several times at Mar A Lago to talk about the welfare children – protecting the children of the world – and hopefully that also means….protecting children from predation, trafficking and abuse.

These are protective loving mothers with hearts for children. May GOD protect them and their mission.

Queen Noor of Jordan, born Lisa Najeeb Halaby, is the former Queen of Jordan and the widow of King Hussein. She was Queen from June 15, 1978, until Hussein’s death on February 7, 1999. Queen Noor is of Druse heritage on her father’s side.. (Brave AI)

LA MAYOR KAREN BASS ACCUSED OF “LEGALIZED CORRUPTION”

She is facing intense backlash over a string of explosive scandals as wildfires ravage the city.

Bass’ ties to corruption run deep. From pay-to-play donations to controversial allies, her leadership is being called into question.

The allegations include endorsing a former councilor investigated over hush money payments for Congress, awarding a fat cat salary to a pal, and having council members accused of embezzlement, perjury, racketeering, tax evasion and bribes

She’s been accused of turning LA’s Department of Water and Power into a slush fund, awarding its CEO a staggering $750K salary – nearly double the previous pay – while broken hydrants failed during the fires.

As photos emerge of her sipping cocktails in Ghana while LA burned, many wonder if she’s lost control of a city drowning in scandals and flames.

Karen Bass, the Democrat Mayor of Los Angeles, has been a dangerous far-left radical since the 1970s when she took fifteen trips to Cuba where she was trained in terror tactics alongside future members of the M19 and Weather Underground domestic terror groups.

Mayor Karen Bass, Revolutionary Communist

Bass supported Fidel Castro for his entire career as a mass-murdering communist and visited Cuba several times a year. She belonged to an organization in the ’70s and ’80s that trained revolutionaries in terror attacks to be used against the United States. This is according to the LAPD at the time.

The representative personally sponsored the New Way Forward Act. It forced the U.S. to bring back criminal illegal aliens who were deported.

[She was a sixth term Congress critter and chaired the Congressional Black Caucus.]

Another group, the M-19, took its belief in revolutionary anti-imperialism to extremes, such as violent extremes. The M-19 was the first and only women-created and women-led domestic terrorist group since its founding in 1970.

M-19 tactics escalated from robbing armored trucks and abetting prison breaks to building their own explosives and carrying out terrorist bombings from 1983 to 1980.

M-19 bombed an FBI office in the Israel aircraft industries building, the South African consulate in New York, DC, Fort McNair, and Navy Yard, which they bombed twice. But that wasn’t enough for them.

On the night of November 7, 1983, the 👉M-19 called the US Capitol switchboard and warned them to evacuate the building. Minutes later, the M-19 bombed the North wing of the US Capitol.

November 7, 2023, marks 40 years since the M-19 bombing of the US Capitol.

Members of the 👉M-19, like Susan Rosenberg, traveled to Cuba with and were radicalized by the Venceremos Brigade, the South Los Angeles fence. 👉The Venceremos Brigade was led by Karen Bass, who is now the mayor of Los Angeles..

Susan Rosenberg is a convicted terrorist connected to a group that bombed the Capitol in 1983. She was pardoned by Billy Clinton. Susan Rosenberg is a key figure who has been involved in the administration and funding of Black Lives Matter.

Doesn’t really matter. Every one of them loses the protection against self incrimination. So just haul ’em in front of a grand jury or other tribunal in a civil suit, tell ’em to spill their guts over their crimes [pardons do not mean it didn’t happen], and when they refuse or lie, JAIL THEM.

A few public displays of this outcome and the others will start wishing they had not accepted the pardons.

Trust me – pray for blanket pardons.  😂

WE ARE FIGHTING A SPIRITUAL WAR OF GOOD VERSUS EVIL

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.

CREATE IN ME A CLEAN HEART

 

In Your kindness, have mercy on me;
Let me not ever stray far from Thee;
Blot out my sins from your Holy sight;
Strengthen me – to fight the good fight!

In Your compassion, blot out my offense;
For my transgression, there is no defense;
Wash me and cleanse me of all of my guilt;
I have sinned against Thee – I need rebuilt!

My offenses are ever before me, Oh Lord;
I have fallen short as it says in Your Word;
Against You alone have I sinned grievously;
In Your sight, Oh Lord, sin encompassed me!

Justified are You in your sentence dispensed;
Without reproach is Your judgment against;
For in sin were all men ill-conceived;
From the womb we emerge ill-perceived!

In truth, it’s the heart only You can see;
Instill in my heart Your wisdom for me;
Purify and cleanse me that I may know;
Wash me – cleanse my soul – whiter than snow!

Create in me – a clean heart renewed;
Cleansed in the Spirit – no longer eschewed;
With a steadfast spirit – I am refreshed;
No longer in sin will I be enmeshed!

A pure heart create in me, Oh God;
No longer will You need to poke and prod;
Give me again, Lord, the joy of Your aid;
With a steadfast spirit – the ransom is paid!

Rescue me, Lord, from evil oppression;
Let love – once again – be my obsession;
Let repentance and mercy blot out my sin;
Let Your Holy Spirit live again within!

For, in sacrifice, you take no delight;
Burnt offering – You would refuse outright;
My sacrifice is a contrite spirit;
Humble and worthy – Your voice – I hear it!

In Your goodness, Oh Lord, make me anew;
Be near me, Oh Lord, keep me close to You;
Hold me, remold me – into what I should be;
Create in me, Lord, a clean heart from Thee!

Gail, Wolf (and others) – there it is. See link below. Right out in front of the entire world. That is a major signal that explains much. More confirmation that our supposed ally is in fact, the enemy. At least the current camp in power in GB is that. Nothing has changed since the 1700’s.

https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2025/01/16/unbreakable-bond-britain-and-ukraine-to-sign-100-year-alliance/

There is much more attached to this confirmation from which to draw conclusions that explain what we have seen played out in this movie over the past decade.

Maybe more will see why I am focused on the Declaration in American Stories. If they have not already they may start seeing the parallels, interconnections, messaging, psyops, etc.

The best really is yet to come.

Gail Combs

“…More confirmation that our supposed ally is in fact, the enemy. At least the current camp in power in GB is that. Nothing has changed since the 1700’s….”

YUP!

We had every reason to be suspicious of those SOBs and it was a MAJOR MISTAKE to ever cozy up to them. Unfortunately, after 1913, when the City of London grabbed control of our money supply, they could mandate what we in the USA would do by bribing our politicians.

As Steve said:

Think of the way we can never seem to get spending under control (and now our entire tax revenue goes to pay interest on the debt; anything the government actually does now is with borrowed money).

And as G Edward Griffin said ALL that ‘money’ that the Fed loans the US government was CREATED OUT OF THIN AIR and we then PAY for it TWICE, one in repaying the ‘debt with interest’ and the second time via inflation!

Yup. IMO, this traces back to the Federalist/Anti-federalist fight around the approval and inking of the Constitution. To be fair, a lot of the true patriots that were Federalist were being deceived by loyalists. But the point remains. This will be part of the next part of my series.

Satan Sauros should be taking orders for fries in HELL!!!!!

Technically the ruling “Windsor” family are actually German, iirc…

The House of Windsor is the reigning house of the United Kingdom and the other Commonwealth realms. The house’s name was inspired by the historic Windsor Castle estate. Since it was founded on 17 July 1917, when the name of the house was changed from the German Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, there have been five British monarchs of the House of Windsor: George VEdward VIIIGeorge VIElizabeth II, and Charles III. The children and male-line descendants of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, also genealogically belong to the House of Oldenburg[1] since Philip was by birth a member of the Glücksburg branch of that house.[2]

Apparently it was inconvenient during WWI to be obviously German while ruling the Brits…  🙄

Not only is no-longer-great-Britain still fight WWII after 80 years, they’re still fighting the Crimean War… they have a blind hate of the Russians, and that comes back over and over again to bite them.

Oddly enough, in a brilliant video about Queen Mary of Teck [onle about five miles from here], there was a picture of all the progeny of Queen Victoria, as royalty of the various houses of Europe and Russia. Crazy thing is, they all looked alike (not like her, mind you 🙂 )….. so there’s no real reason for the various cousins and siblings to have been fighting each other…

Guys, it has been a really rough four years, but, I hate to say it, it could have been MUCH WORSE.

I read stuff like this, and I almost can’t believe the country has survived. It’s just unbelievable:

https://x.com/CollinRugg/status/1880602719754293249

@CollinRugg

NEW: During a one-on-one meeting, Speaker Johnson asked President Biden why he paused LNG exports to Europe, says Biden was completely unaware he had done so. The United States hasn’t had a president for four years. Johnson says Biden was completely unaware of an executive order he signed. The comments from Johnson came during an interview with @bariweiss

. Johnson said after fighting for 9 weeks with Biden’s staff, he was finally able to get a meeting with the president. When he arrived, Johnson says he was “ambushed” by Kamala Harris, Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries. Biden, who apparently didn’t know what was going on, asked the others to leave so he could meet privately with Johnson. “It occurred to me he was not lying to me. He genuinely did not know what he had signed. I walked outta that meeting with fear and loathing because I thought, ‘We are in serious trouble.'”

Video: @TheFP

I think the United States has only survived the last four years because of our sheer momentum and weight in the world. We’re like this giant boulder rolling down a mountain. If there’s a big ditch in the way, if the boulder has enough momentum, it can jump the ditch. Biden (really Obama’s shadow pResidency) was the ditch. America is the boulder. Our status and force, gained in the past 248 years, have kept us rolling down the mountain.

Thank God we only have two more days until a real President is back in charge.

PAVACA

Aubergine
Thank you for this.
Assuming what Speaker Johnson says is so — wouldn’t that AUTOMATICALLY invalidate EVERY document, EO, bill, or anything else that “President Biden” has signed in the past 4 years?

Gail Combs

That is what I said yesterday but pGroup said it is the Office of the President so Biden would have to be impeached and convicted in the Senate.

That is Frightening in my view because it allows what has happen to happen.

PAVACA

Gail Combs
Thank you.
Is the remedy, then, for President Trump, after his Inauguration, to sign an EO that negates / reverses, any-some-all documents that “President Biden” signed?

Gail Combs

There are also all the laws and all the pardons.

pgroup2

There is no such thing as automatic reversal. Save yourself the frustration of trying to undo a pardon; it can’t be done. As far as laws go, POTUS does not have to sign a bill in order for it to become a law. Even if his signatures were magically declared null and void, more than ten days without a veto means the bills have already become law anyway.

Those Framers thought of everything. Damn smart they were.

Gail Combs

“… ten days without a veto means the bills have already become law anyway….”

For others from WIKI:

Normally if a president does not sign a bill, it becomes law after ten days as if he had signed it. A pocket veto occurs when a bill fails to become law because the president does not sign it within the ten-day period and cannot return the bill to Congress because Congress is no longer in session. Article 1, Section 7 of the U.S. Constitution states:

If any Bill shall not be returned by the President within ten days (Sundays excepted) after it shall have been presented to him, the same shall be a Law, in like manner as if he had signed it, unless the Congress by their Adjournment prevent its return, in which case it shall not be a Law.

pat frederick

this sounds counter-intuitive to me. A person who is mentally incapacitated cannot legally sign binding contracts. so how can anything a mentally incapacitated person sign become a valid EO?

TheseTruths

To my knowledge, JB does not have a diagnosis from a doctor of mental incapacitation. No professional has declared him unfit for office. And no one who could have begun the process to invoke the 25th Amendment has done so. Everyone is playing the game, so his pronouncements stand.

Aubergine

You have it dead on.

TheseTruths

Thanks to you, I have been educated about this. Now if we could just get all the bloggers, podcasters, influencers, and their followers up to speed. Wishful thinking is being presented as fact.

kalbokalbs

Yet, trump’s Executive Orders, many anyway, were reversed.

What am I missing.

pgroup2

I was talking about bills sent to POTUS for signing. He has ten days to sign or veto. If he does neither, the bill becomes law.

kalbokalbs

That there’ is an interesting angle.

pgroup2

The remedy for “bad” EOs is to rescind them, one at a time.

Try to always remember that an EO is nothing more than an instruction to subordinates to behave in a certain manner. They are NOT laws but they ARE instructions to agencies on how to obey the laws.

Believe it or not, the “confiscation” of gold by FDR really was not. It was directions to the Treasury to behave in a certain way. It was really clever in an evil way – uninformed citizens voluntarily exchanged their gold coins [ownership of gold inside the coins] for paper currency.

I’m not sure it was even constitutional to remove legal tender status from gold but I have not researched the whole mess.

Valerie Curren

More proof that QUERCETIN really assists in preventing / treating COVID-19:

https://wmcresearch.substack.com/p/friday-hope-quercetin-ii-inhibiting
“Friday Hope: Quercetin II: Inhibiting Spike Expression and Increasing Spike Proteolysis”
by Walter M Chesnut
17 January 2025
Yours Truly: Proteopysis is the process of breaking down a protein, either partially or completely.
One of the papers cited by Mr. Chesnut is this one:
https://doi.org/10.1186/s12985-024-02299-w
“Quercetin inhibits SARS-CoV-2 infection and prevents syncytium formation by cells co-expressing the viral spike protein and human ACE2”
Annie V. Roy, et al.
25 January 2024
Yours Truly: There are several graphics in the above paper which show that Quercetin inhibits COVID-19 virus infection; that help to clear out a COVID-19 infection; and that prevents the COVID-19 virus spike protein from binding to the ACE2 receptor cells in the body.

Here is a screenshot of the Conclusion from the paper:

comment image

Yours Truly believes that Quercetin can also help to mitigate / clear up, cases of “Long COVID.”
https://www.drugs.com/npc/quercetin.html is a good website to read about Quercetin. It appears that persons who are already taking blood thinners need to be cautious in taking Quercetin. Persons on blood thinners should talk with a medical professional regarding taking Quercetin.

The police told me that there are chop shops in the East Bay, which is roughly an hour to the north.

🙁

Cuppa Covfefe

Hope you get it back, undamaged, and unscathed!!!

(I know, it’s Kalifornistan, but still…..)…..

cthulhu

….and damned near impossible to replace.

Valerie Curren

Do they no longer manufacture manual transmissions in new cars? Hubby learned manual transmissions in Truck Driving School almost 3 years ago now (we both knew how to drive manuals from some cars we’ve owned previously).

cthulhu
Valerie Curren

Any of those work for you? We’ll probably Never be in the market for a new car, but Hubby would like to get a Broncho someday 🙂

Valerie Curren

LOL sure hope not! He’s. not looking forward to temps under 10 here in the next few days though…

cthulhu

My first three cars were purchased new. This next one (if mine isn’t recovered) will probably be used.

I was also happy that my Honda was mainly analog — just the car for a Luddite. You can’t get that any more.

Valerie Curren

Hope this works out well for you (especially if it ultimately nudges you out of CA & into a Free State!!!) God be with you in it ALL!

Brave and Free

Wow they knew how to drive a manual transmission?

Cuppa Covfefe

Maybe they do, by now….. grind grind grind…..

What they say over here:

Erm… but a car is a bit harder to back up…

Wow, I’m sorry to hear about this. What a mess.

cthulhu

Just had the police come by and take a report.

cthulhu

Some of the questions they asked me…..

Does it have any internal GPS?

Does it have the original radio?

Brave and Free

Probably asking for a friend. If they can’t track it, so what’s next, they look on e-bay for the radio?

This is going to suck so bad…..

If they don’t recover it, I’m going to (a) have to get a replacement vehicle that passes California, (b) pay California sales tax on buying it, (c) pay higher plate charges and insurance, when I had run them down to a minimum on a 30-year-old vehicle, (d) put up with whatever mistreatment any previous owner had done, and (3) learn how to fix this new vehicle.

PAVACA

Coothie
Yuck, that’s awful.
I do hope your car can be recovered.

e) Rent a trucK and MOVE to NC

After all the arson/wildfires can’t you use that to convince your wife to MOVE?

Gail Combs

Didn’t they have some fires a few years ago further north?

There is this map:
https://databasin.org/datasets/bf8db57ee6e0420c8ecce3c6395aceeb/

And it looks like most of CA has burned except for the tops of the mountains.

And this:

When did the forest near you last burn? Map shows 30 years of California wildfires

cthulhu

The Camp Fire incinerated Paradise in 2018.

Cuppa Covfefe

And the Oakland/Bezerkeley Hills fire… all those Eucalyptus trees… burn like gasoline…

Brave and Free

Yeah that sucks for sure, good luck.

Aubergine

Screw that.

Fly to a state with better laws. Buy a good used vehicle you can understand how to work on. Drive it home.

It’ll be cheaper in the long run.

cthulhu

I would need to have an address in the state in which I purchased it.

Aubergine

Why? I’ve bought cars in Idaho, and I live in Montana. You’d have to register it in CA, but the other problems would be solved, right?

cthulhu

When I bought my Honda, back in 1994, a car had to be built for California to be sold in California. Same with my 1979 Mustang (which is why I got a substitute engine that I came to loathe and despise — the engine I wanted wasn’t available in California). I don’t know how it works with used cars, but I can’t imagine they’d make it easy, cheap, and straightforward.

Aubergine

You can buy a used car anywhere. You get a 30-day paper license plate from the dealer, or from the DMV for that state. You have to register it in your state within the 30 days. But you can buy it wherever. Maybe Vegas?

My daughter always buys her cars one state over in Idaho. There’s a big used car dealer over there she likes.

cthulhu

You may remember back a ways when I was attempting to buy a replacement toilet, only to find that many could not be purchased in California.

My plan had been that my car was the last California car I would ever own, and possibly the car I drove for the remainder of my life.

If they don’t recover it, I will likely have to get another California car, which will be shit, and will probably be worth less than half what I pay for it elsewhere….and it will spy on me and I’ll have to pay outrageous California sales taxes upon purchase.

Gail Combs

Come to NC and you can use mine… Heck do not bother driving home.

Cuppa Covfefe

Probably cheaper just to (finally) move…..

Kalifornistan… California Granola…

Gail Combs

AMEN!

Valerie Curren

Sounds like you’d be better to move out of CA ASAP & get your new vehicle w/ Way Less Hassle in NC!

TradeBait2

Never a happy thing. Sorry to see that. Hope they can recover.

Aubergine

Seriously? WTF?

Valerie Curren

Oh I’m so sorry to hear that Cthulhu. Hope you guys will be OK ASAP!

I was deceived about this for far too long. So I am making up for it.

Don’t know if anybody else has noticed it, but lately eggs are like what toilet paper was during the early days of COVID. People are fighting over the reduced supplies in stores around here.

Gail Combs

AMEN, luckily 3 neighbors have chickens… So far.

singingsoul1

We have noticed that .
We also noticed organic milk is in short supply so is organic cream.
I ask my husband to stop at Kroger the three days he teaches to make sure we get what we need.

Gail Combs

Hubby just bought the last 2 cans of goat milk for our bum lamb.

She did not do well when I tried to start switching her to lamb formula. So I will have to do it more slowly which is a bit of a pain. I need to make up two different formulas and then mix them at different ratios.

For what it is worth, for orphan baby mammals we use “zoo formula”
1 can goat milk
1 can water
1 raw egg
1/2 packet of Knox original Unflavored Gelatine.

Goat milk can be fed to any mammal where as cow’s milk is not as easily digested.

We found store bought formula has too much sugar and will kill newborns. So you start with zoo formula for about a week and then gradually add more and more store bought until they are switched over.

Aubergine

That’s why I have chickens! My beloved flock gives me all I can use, plus some to give to the kids.

Barb Meier

When last I was there, Virginia had plenty of eggs. They have plenty of chicken farms to sooo… Missouri on the other hand has a tiny egg section. I’m amazed they can order such small quantities.

Valerie Curren

Our state, Michigan, just recently mandated (for no good reason) “cage free” eggs which has massively jacked up the price 🙁
