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.”


VICTORY!!!

How many times during the past four years have we calmed ourselves by knowing that, in the end, God wins . . . and therefore, so do we? Keeping the fact that God wins in our minds was a required survival tactic as evidenced during these past four years by the many, many times that “God Wins” was mentioned by posters in the face of the incomprehensible and evil actions perpetrated by the current administration. Yes, in spite of it all, God does win . . . and so do we.


The Bible assures us that God and His Son Jesus are Victors and that believers can share in their victories: “But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ” (1 Corinthians 15:57).

Victory ultimately belongs to the Lord our God (1 Samuel 17:47). Since the days of Israel’s Exodus from Egypt, whenever God’s people depended on Him alone, He gave them victory over their enemies (Exodus 15). Old Testament prophets consistently pointed to a future Savior who would bring the fullest expression of God’s triumph: “Rejoice greatly, Daughter Zion! Shout, Daughter Jerusalem! See, your king comes to you, righteous and victorious, lowly and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey” (Zechariah 9:9; see also Psalm 110:1). We know these prophecies refer to Jesus Christ, the promised Messiah, who has overcome the world (John 16:33).

Jesus won the supreme victory at the cross. Sin was atoned for, and the power of sin and death was broken (see John 12:31 and 1 Peter 2:24). After Christ’s crucifixion and burial, He rose from the dead three days later, and now we share that victory. Satan thought he had won the ultimate contest with the death of Christ. Instead, that death released our chains, set us free from the prison of sin, and disarmed the supernatural powers of evil: “When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins, having canceled the charge of our legal indebtedness, which stood against us and condemned us; he has taken it away, nailing it to the cross. And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross” (Colossians 2:13–15).

The key to achieve victory is faith in Christ: “For everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith. Who is it that overcomes the world? Only the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God” (1 John 5:4–5; see also Romans 8:37). The first step to victory in Jesus is accepting Christ as Savior. We receive the Lord by grace through faith, and we live in His victory by grace through faith as well. Our salvation is a gift of God’s grace, and our victory is a gift of God’s grace (Ephesians 2:4–8; Galatians 3:3).

The victory that Jesus shares with us includes victory over the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life (1 John 2:16). Our Lord’s triumph over temptation and sin (Hebrews 4:15; see also Matthew 4:1–11) has become our victory as well: “Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires” (Galatians 5:24; see also Romans 5:20–21). The apostle John elaborates: “But you know that he appeared so that he might take away our sins. And in him is no sin. No one who lives in him keeps on sinning. No one who continues to sin has either seen him or known him. Dear children, do not let anyone lead you astray. The one who does what is right is righteous, just as he is righteous. The one who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil’s work” (1 John 3:5–8).

Jesus has overcome Satan and the powers of evil (John 14:30; 16:11; Mark 1:23–27; Luke 4:33–36), and He shares that victory with us. Jesus says, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you” (Luke 10:18–19; see also Ephesians 1:21–22). The writer of Hebrews explains that Jesus took on flesh and blood and shared in our humanity “so that by his death he might break the power of him who holds the power of death—that is, the devil—and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death” (Hebrews 2:14–15). We need not fear death or the devil because we share in Jesus Christ’s victory over them (Acts 2:24; Romans 6:9; 8:38–39; 2 Timothy 1:10; Revelation 1:18).

As long as we remain in this fallen world, we’ll still have struggles to overcome and battles to fight. At times we will fall and fail. But we continue to get back up, asking God to equip us with His grace and power to overcome (2 Corinthians 12:9). As believers, we fight our battles in the spiritual realm, on our knees: “For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds” (2 Corinthians 10:3–4). God has given us spiritual armor to protect us from the powers of darkness that wage war against us (Ephesians 6:10–20).

Our victory is real and attainable now because our Lord Jesus has defeated Satan and every evil power of the world. We achieve victory by resting in Christ (Matthew 11:28) and trusting Him to triumph for us (Romans 5:17). While we remain on earth, the Lord reigns victorious through those who have been delivered from the kingdom of darkness and translated into His glorious kingdom of light (1 Peter 2:9). However, a day will come when the victories of Jesus will be fully realized and celebrated in the new heavens and earth: “He will swallow up death forever. The Sovereign LORD will wipe away the tears from all faces; he will remove his people’s disgrace from all the earth. The LORD has spoken” (Isaiah 25:8).


In other words, GOD WINS!!!

. . . and so do we.

TheseTruths

Is that a big deal for us?

I see it as a data point indicating the level of security, which appears to be very high. That is a good thing. While it indicates there might be threats we don’t know about, that was probably always going to be the case, especially given the two (and probably more) previous assassination attempts. I’m glad they appear to be taking security seriously for the inauguration.

Aubergine

There is a threat, and it is a serious one. Of that I am convinced. There are many countries that would like to see Trump taken out, not just American leftist loons. And major powers send professionals.

Brave and Free

I’d rephrase that to, there’re many “Globalists leaders” who would like to see him off the world stage. 🙂
Probably most of the “people” in those countries love him.

“Bonchie”:

Mike Johnson describing Joe Biden having no idea he had signed an EO banning LNG exports, instead believing he had just authorized a study, is the biggest presidential scandal in history.

Staffers were lying to Biden about EOs they wanted and getting him to sign them. Insane.

John Ekdahl:

Furthermore, his description of Schumer, Jeffries, Kamala, CIA Dir Burns, etc all freezing in panic when Biden requested they clear the room so he could 1-on-1 with Johnson confirms they were all in on the coverup.

Of course they knew, they all knew.

We have spent four years without a functioning President. Looking back, it is terrifying to think about how much worse it could have been.

Tomorrow can’t come and go soon enough.

pat frederick

I am still unclear on the whole “office of the President” thing. None of the people creating the EO’s were elected to the office–how can they draft them, mislead the actual President (cough, cough) to sign them and not be guilty of usurping the Office?

pgroup2

How the office of the president is run is an internal matter. I bet all administrations have been run the same way with the minor difference being that other POTUSes actually read what they’re signing,

TradeBait2

Without impeachment attempts, there is no point in chasing what has already been done. You cannot prove mental deficiency when there has been no official efforts to determine it. That means the entire Congress, VP, IC and administrative state knew the whole time.

All that can be done is what PDT is and will be doing now. We survived it. However, it needs to be fully exposed far and wide so that it does not happen again.

Dr. Jill proved her b!tch status by putting a dementia patient through the exercise. All of the celebrities who supported them proved their scum bucket status.

Oh, and it proves without a shadow of a doubt the legacy news media has and continues to be the enemy of We the People. They knew.

I wouldn’t mind certain particular dead bodies, but your point is well taken.

TheseTruths

Dr. Jill proved her b!tch status by putting a dementia patient through the exercise.

The whole “Dr. Jill” situation is beyond me. I keep seeing articles about the rift between the Bidens and the Pelosis and others, maybe like Schumer. Jill and Joe are upset that Joe was forced out of the race when — hello! — his mental and physical states are declining for the world to see. There is no way he could “serve” again. Jill could have been gently telling him over time that he needed to look after his health and not run again. But instead, apparently she wanted this farce to continue and to force him into situations that he can’t handle. Not to mention what that does to every American citizen and our country. It’s not about what the polls showed regarding the campaign; it’s about his lack of ability. I can only speculate about what Jill is thinking, but it looks as if she wanted to be the shadow president with JB as the front man. If there’s some other reason she has for wanting a dementia patient in the WH, putting himself and her in embarrassing situations, then it needs to be revealed.

This report causes me to question whether an edict like an executive order or a pardon is valid if the authorization arises from someone who can be determined to be not mentally competent to understand the edict. There is precedent for mental incompetence having determinative weight in legal proceedings.

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

Probably just easier to rescind the executive orders sometime tomorrow afternoon.

(I enjoyed typing that.)

Pardons are a different matter, of course.

“…Pardons are a different matter, of course.”

Get your guns back. That’s the first step.

Until then, nothing changes, not ever.

You think protest works?

How are those yellow vests doing in France? Is that working out?

How did the millions protesting in Brazil go? Did that have any effect at all?

How did the protests in Canadia work out? Did anything change, even a little bit?

When the People are disarmed, the government has a MONOPOLY on force, and they aren’t even a tiny bit hesitant to use it.

Because government is tyranny.

That may not be how ours was designed, but that is the reality just the same.

And We the People in America HAVE guns.

If we have tyranny with guns, what chance do you have without them?

It is a cultural manifestation of belonging to a group. Since the present culture has made the family unit all but extinct people, especially those who were never part of the previous somewhat free culture of the West. For those who have lived under the thumb of totalitarian social systems, thanks to the internet, they have an instrument to express themselves and develop a sense of social cohesion. I have come to believe that the need to belong is one of the primary psychological imperatives of the species.

Gail Combs

“:…I have come to believe that the need to belong is one of the primary psychological imperatives of the species…”

Yes it is. Remember we are weak ‘naked apes’ with no built in defense except our brains and our social structure.

A human, without the support of others, is very very vulnerable. We know this instinctively and that is why we are not solitary critters.

Aubergine

“I have come to believe that the need to belong is one of the primary psychological imperatives of the species.”

It’s a survival trait.

Centuries ago, banishment from the tribe meant almost certain death. Belonging was a necessity for LIFE.

In addition to the weather, I am wondering if there was a significant security threat against President Trump and the MAGA attendees celebrating his and our victory?

Perhaps
-Trump’s people had intel about busloads of the usual Antifa and Fed actors dressed dressed as MAGA people arriving in DC to disrupt the inauguration and threaten the crowd, at the mall and surrounding areas as they did last time – even attacking Rand Paul and his wife.
-The security teams, private and Secret Service realized they could not protect the inauguration platform and the crowd against the threat of drone assault.

The last minute changes would likely have disrupted their planned ambushes and set ups.

I hope there are plenty of spies in all the putrid camps of evildoers threatening Trump’s administration, policies and people – elected, bureaucracy, media, corporate, etc.

I have not forgotten what they did in election years and in between – the horrible threats and attacksthat Democrats, their followers – AND the media – committed and promoted violence against President Trump, his family, staff, supporters and other Republican opponents!

I did not know this…JFK’s EO created federal unions. then they can be undone.

FTA
With Trump’s second term, however, federal workers, perhaps for the first time, are facing the possibility of being RIFED (Reduction in Force), which scares them. Good!
President Kennedy unionized the federal workforce through Executive Order 10988. Its continued existence is not cast in stone. President Ronald Reagan was responsible for dissolving the Professional Air Traffic Controllers Organization (PATCO) in 1981 following a devastating strike that threatened to cause incalculable harm to the American economy.
I could make the same argument today that the federal bureaucracy has run amok and is also causing incalculable harm to America. Reining it in would provide better service to our citizens while saving us tens of billions of dollars and de-politicizing the bureaucracy. That political aspect is significant, for federal employees made approximately 84% of their donations to Democrat party candidates in the 2024 election cycle.

Federal workers in the United States have specific labor rights and obligations under the Federal Service Labor-Management Relations Statute (FSLMRS), which was established under Title VII of the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978. This statute consolidates the functions of the Federal Labor Relations Council and the Assistant Secretary of Labor for Labor-Management Relations into a newly established Federal Labor Relations Authority (FLRA). The FLRA oversees elections and protects federal government employees’ organizing and bargaining rights.

The FSLMRS is patterned on the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), but there are some important differences. For instance, while private-sector employees are entitled to collectively bargain through a representative of their choosing with respect to wages, hours, benefits, and other working conditions, federal employees can collectively bargain with respect to personnel practices only. Additionally, the NLRA allows private sector employees to engage in “concerted action,” like workplace strikes, but the FSLMRS does not grant this right to federal employees. It is an unfair labor practice for labor unions to call or participate in a strike or a work stoppage that interferes with the operation of a federal agency.

The American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) is the largest federal employee union, representing 800,000 federal and D.C. government workers nationwide and overseas. The AFGE works to protect the rights of federal workers and advocate for better working conditions and benefits.

From Brave AI. I remembered Congress made it a law. However I am not sure congress can interfere like that with the Executive branch without it being unconstitutional.

From the article:

Let’s set the stage. Bonta, ever the aspiring political showman, has spent years targeting Exxon and other oil companies. In 2022, he subpoenaed Exxon as part of his crusade against the so-called “global plastics crisis.” By 2024, he upped the ante, accusing the company of running a “decades-long campaign of deception” about plastics recycling. According to Bonta, ExxonMobil has been lying to the public, pushing the “myth” of recycling while raking in billions and polluting the planet. Oh, the horror​​.

I’m sorry, but isn’t ever local government municipality running the recycling scam ?

Next they need to go after NY and governor Hochul for the same tactics.

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.

A BROKEN HEART

Refreshing rain falls at dawn;
Pulsating pain throbs thereon;
Devouring dark woebegone;
Reliving rift cast upon!

Emptiness is at best;
Openness to be blessed;
Loneliness to fill the void;
Peacefulness to be enjoyed!

Knowing not just how to proceed;
Gasping; grappling to fill the need;
Betraying all so carefully taught;
Warbling woe – dolefully distraught!

Broken bastion defiled with sorrow;
Token turmoil signals the morrow;
Desperately dangling by a thread;
Covetously clinging to the dread!

Beckoning God a cry aloud;
Hearkening the Spirit avowed;
Awakening awe to exhume;
Allowing angels sweet perfume!

Attending attention to prayer;
Prostrating prevention to despair;
Lifting listlessness up on high;
Loving lowliness with a sigh!

Repenting; relinquishing all to Him;
Releasing; replenishing to the brim;
Lovingly laying the burden aside;
Securely saving a place to reside!

Reasonably realizing the vanity;
Bordering; basking on insanity;
Refusing reproving dangerously;
Anguishing; angering anxiously!

Lovingly, knowingly His Spirit He sent;
Imposing, imploring the need to repent;
Rebuking, relinquishing the control;
Disarming, disavowing His console!

Freely forgiving the fool heartedness;
Allowing His Love to replace distress;
Remembering love can conquer all;
Without love we are destined to fall!

Love of neighbor begins within you;
Loving yourself is critical, too;
Emotionally even and adept;
Protectively proper the heart is kept!

A heart that is broken can be repaired;
By His suffering and death; Jesus cared;
For all who are hurting and feeling reviled;
For all Jesus had compassion complied!

Suffering senselessly, He gave His all;
So you must do so that you do not fall;
The deception of evil is so perverse;
Resist all temptation; reverse the curse!

Feelings are not facts, but do cloud your mind;
No rational thought will you ever find;
With your feelings rampant out of control;
There’s no turning back; no way to console!

Give all your love and honor to Jesus;
He died on the tree to save and ease us;
When you are weak; it is He who is strong;
In His loving care is where you belong!

Trump FL Airport Motorcade Arrives With Anti-Drone Technology-Hinting At Credible Drone Threat-Likely Why Inauguration Moved Indoors

https://creativedestructionmedia.com/news/national/2025/01/18/video-trump-fl-airport-motorcade-arrives-with-anti-drone-technology-hinting-at-credible-drone-threat-likely-why-inauguration-moved-indoors/

Aubergine

I saw a picture from a 2016 motorcade, with one vehicle that had the tech. The motorcades yesterday had a whole bunch of them.

What I suspect we are about to discover is that the drone activity over the East Coast has been foreign, and they were a threat to Trump’s inauguration.

That guy who died in Vegas was trying to whistle-blow about it, and ended up dead.

pgroup2

And his body placed in the vehicle which was remote-driven by highly qualified hackers [govt] to the hotel and detonated. And the hacking tracks erased.

TheseTruths

It seems that there was no defense against drones during the Butler assassination attempt, and the SS got raked over the coals for that. This could be evidence of new operating procedures.

Amidst the celebrations around the upcoming Inauguration of POTUS47 President Donald J. Trump, a tiny side note:

19 January 2018: To My Husband: A Haiku

Seven years ago,
Johnny, you left this planet.
Be well. Tu me manques.

“Amanda”

pat frederick

sending a prayer your way that your pain lessens but your heart retains all the love and memories.

PAVACA

pat frederick
Thank you.
I thought I had this situation “under control.” Been through the grief counseling. Been through the EMDR sessions. Been through the military funeral. Been through the commemorative rituals. Been through the Estate process. Done the journaling. Done the giving-away of effects but saving a few items.
You name it, been there, done that.

But the subconscious mind, the emotional-psychological part, really doesn’t recognize the passage of time. To this part of the brain, it’s all like it’s yesterday or right now. And so, yesterday, this part of my brain jumped straight back into January 2018.

The only way to deal with this kind of thing is to allow it to happen, while reassuring the emotional/psychological brain that it’s OK, that the one who is gone is OK. The survivor may wind up crying, and/or having physical as well as emotional pain and discomfort, and/or being restless, and so on. Do more journaling, walk some, create a new commemorative ritual, make a donation to a charity, reach out to others who would understand. Get out that object that the one who is gone wore or used, and keep it near you for a couple of days. Read the Bible. Pray. Believe that the Almighty God truly is the One who is “our refuge and our strength; a very present help in trouble” as it says in the Psalms.

The pain will eventually lessen. But the pain, and the grief, will never completely go away. They will need to co-exist, along with acceptance and regaining of the ability to experience joy and peace, as part of the “new normal” life that the survivor must craft. This “new normal” has to be a healthy one.

pat frederick

it’s truly like losing half of your very being.
some people never experience that kind of deep love.

PAVACA

pat frederick
Thank you.
The ND who treated my late husband, and who continues to treat me, said to me a couple of years ago, “You and John were meant for each other.” Heaven knows, my marriage had lots of “rough spots.” In fact, we actually divorced in 1989, then remarried each other in 1999. We couldn’t stand being apart like that.

ANGEL OF GOD

Angel of God come visit with me
For lost and lonely I seem to be
Left alone without the love of my bubby
He was my joy – he was my hubby

My heart hurts my head is pounding
My internal screams have no sounding
Emotionally exhausted I fall asleep
The pain is constant and oh so deep

Thank You, Lord, for music that soothes
It comforts and calms my soul it moves
My daily companion it has become
To its rhythm and cadence therefrom

I reach out to My Angel to lift me up
Steer me toward the blessing cup
This emptiness just will not go away
I need some semblance of him today

Send me a memory and make me smile
Give me the joy of his presence for awhile
Let me feel the warmth of his arms around
An expression of his love overtly abound

Help me feel grateful for the many years
Through the laughter, trials, and the tears
Through the challenges and the struggles
Accompanied by smooches and huggles

Help me to find happy once again
Even for a moment beyond the pain
Help me recall his spirit is alive
He can help me to revive and to thrive

It is as if he is still here by my side
Odd is it not from him I cannot hide
I can envision his face his surprise
As I stumble, fall, and then, arise

Oh, Lord, I do miss him so
Without him I have lost my mojo
I am clumsy I have lost my footing
Oh, the things I do to keep from looking

I shower I eat I dress and I work
Mechanically now I see him smirk
The joy in my life is nonexistent
The flow in my life is inconsistent

Ah but now that you are finally here
I can feel your spirit my hubby dear
You comfort me like no other can
Just as you did when our life began

I’m very sorry for your loss. And I understand.

I lost my grandmother, who I consider to have been de facto my mother, almost forty years ago. Sometimes I still cry if I say her name.

PAVACA

Aubergine
Yes. The “echoes” will be around. It all has its place and it’s OK. Hugs to you.

Aubergine

And to you. Thanks.

pgroup2

In a way, that ‘timeless’ part that you describe is also how I believe God experiences everything.

To me, it’s another proof that not only are we created in His image but when He breathed the breath of life into us He also put a tiny bit of Himself in there.

Sort of like a homing beacon, so to speak.

Where is home?

The homing beacon knows.

GrammyInD

So true.
It has been almost 8 years since I lost my eldest son to a freak sporting accident. It has gotten easier over the years, now mostly just a steady missing him. But now and then there is a situation that will trigger all the grief and pain again.
I am so thankful for my DIL’s answer when I asked her how we could help her after her loss. She said we should just share memories of our son with her and talk about him. So that is how we have been dealing with this loss as a family. On his birthday each year and on the date of his death, or sometimes just randomly, some one will start by sharing an old picture or a memory in our family group on social media and others will chime in. My son was….well I don’t quite know how to put it….rather “one-of-a-kind” and often quite hilarious. So sometimes the remembering leaves us laughing rather than crying. It has been very healing, this sharing of memories.

https://twitter.com/ShadowofEzra/status/1881001972641493427

Donald Trump has pledged to use an executive order to save TikTok, aligning himself with RFK Jr., who has consistently opposed banning the platform.

RFK Jr. Has always opposed the TikTok ban, arguing it’s a free speech issue and that “national security” is merely a cover for banning ideas the government opposes.

He challenged Americans with a thought-provoking question:

“Are you more worried about China spying on and influencing us, or about the CIA doing the same?”

Followed with Vid of RFK Jr giving his position.

Instead of them going, how about we embrace their presence by trolling and ridiculing them at every opportunity. That way their insanity remains in front of every American to observe and serve as a reminder of what was and still could be leading the country.

I’m going to blame this on Brandon, because why not?

Just dropped one of my contacts into the dish water. Worse, it was the contact for my dominant eye, so now I have a “Chief Inspector” twitch while it spends some time in the sanitizing fluid.

Robert Baker

Chief Inspector brought joy to countless people.

I mean the old one, Dreyfus, played by Herbert Lom. Clouseau drove him literally insane and he got an eye twitch.

Dreyfus is the one I was referring to.

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

One of those fricking hilarious things: On my first job out of college one of the other people in the building was a woman last name Yamamoto (like the admiral we shot down). She got married, became Mrs. Duvall, and changed her process name on the computer (it was a VAX, you could change the process name yourself) to “quasi-moto.”

That night I watched the movie where Closeau is trying out his Quasimodo outfit. Dreyfus calls him to make sure he’s home, since he’s about to detonate a bomb to kill him. (Closeau ends up floating out the window when the hump overinflates.) Dreyfus pretended to be someone named…I shit you not…”Duvall”! So there were “Quasi-Moto” and her new husband right there!

Robert Baker

Life imitates art or vice versa.

And to add injury to insult, I just knocked over the plastic pitcher that goes on the blender. I actually use it to measure water for tea because it’s exactly the right size. Ends up carrying water to the lizard cage.

No more. It has a gigantic crack in it now.

Brandon’s fault!!!

You could try an eye patch. But then you might turn pirate. Or insane, like Dan Crenshaw.

From the polling I’ve seen, this guy edited out all the “pro” America people, and only had the “anti” people.

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

He had some “pro-” but the most common response in the first half at least was for a completely independent Greenland.

I know there was that one poll recently, but I would want a lot more than that.

Random website had:

Pop quiz: Will Biden be remembered as being in the mold of FDR, LBJ, or George Washington?

I’m thinking Biden will be remembered more in the mold of cheese, or forgotten leftovers in the back of the fridge.

My friend in CA told me the “cheap” eggs are $10 a dozen, and the “good” eggs are $12.99!

And they’re still cheaper survival food – protein, vitamins, etc. If you are in poverty, eggs will keep you alive and healthy longer than darn near anything else.

I can’t watch too many videos. we have satellite internet which at best is sketchy–with the terrible weather conditions we’re having…a video would be impossible to watch.

Gail Combs

( is actual [

go to bottom and to the left of the smiley face is ( + )

It will give you:

(…spoiler title=”Bakocarl put your title here“..) Put the body of text here ( /spoiler)

Gail Combs

Next to the yellow smiley face is a plus sign inside of brackets. It allows you to have a title show and hides the rest of the text unless you click the title. The block will come up asking for the title. once you type in the title and click on OK it gives you a space between the close bracket and the open bracket /spoiler close bracket to put the text you want hidden.

Example:

BakoCarl your title here
You can then place text here without it cluttering up the comment section

Gail Combs

Glad you figured it out 🙂

kalbokalbs

So long as no one replies to your post with the spoiler, you can edit. If you want to. tinker if you’d like to hide the long part.

FWIW, when I did the spoiler thing, it took three edits, to finally the long portion hidden.

para59r

In case there is still confusion, you saw the [+] sign because you hit the reply button which revealed it.

Too early to hit the [+]

First put your 2 pager into the reply box like you were going to do it as a regular post.

Then highlight everything in you want to be in hidden box and then hit [+] which will bring up the title thing.

Type that in which will give title and provide the instructions to hide everything

You should see everything is then ready to post.

TheseTruths

Para59r’s instructions are correct. Here is another way of saying it.

1.Place your text (whatever you want to say or what you have copied) into the Reply box as usual.
2.Highlight the part that you want to be hidden. If that’s all of it, then highlight it all.
3.Click on the [+]. A box will come up that says “Spoiler Title.”
4.Type what you want people to see in that box. (Example: “The text of Stephen Miller’s speech”) Then click OK.
5.Your highlighted text will now be placed within “spoiler” brackets. Pay no attention to them. Click “Post Comment.” You should see your title, “The text of Stephen Miller’s speech,” and a + sign that people can click on in order to view it.

TheseTruths

You’re welcome!

Stephen Miller is such a good speaker and speech writer.
