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.”


Faith Is A Gift

Faith is the avenue or the instrument God uses to bring salvation to His people. God gives faith because of His grace and mercy, because He loves us (Ephesians 4—5). Faith comes from God in the form of a gift (Ephesians 2:8).

A gift is not earned by some good deed or kind word, and it is not given because the giver expects a gift in return—under any of those conditions, a gift would not be a gift. The Bible emphasizes that faith is a gift because God deserves all of the glory for our salvation. If the receiver of faith could do anything whatsoever to deserve or earn the gift, that person would have every right to boast (Ephesians 2:9). But all such boasting is excluded (Romans 3:27). God wants Christians to understand they have done nothing to earn faith, it’s only because of what Christ did on the cross that God gives anyone faith (Ephesians 2:5, 16). Receiving faith is a non-work (see Romans 4—Abraham’s salvation was dependent on faith in God, as opposed to any work he performed).

Suppose someone anonymously sent you a check for $1,000,000. The money is yours if you want it, but you still must endorse the check. In no way can signing your name be considered earning the million dollars—the endorsement is a non-work. You can never boast about becoming a millionaire through sheer effort or your own business savvy. No, the million dollars was simply a gift, and signing your name was the only way to receive it. Similarly, exercising faith is the only way to receive the generous gift of God, and faith cannot be considered a work worthy of the gift.

By knowing our saving faith comes from God alone, it should encourage Christians to “not think of yourself more highly than you ought,” but remember God decides the measure of faith each one receives (Romans 12:3). The apostle Paul gives an example of the godly humility believers should have when they contemplate their own faith: “Even though I was once a blasphemer and a persecutor and a violent man, I was shown mercy because I acted in ignorance and unbelief. The grace of our Lord was poured out on me abundantly, along with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus” (1 Timothy 1:13–14). Paul understood faith in Christ was given to him because of God’s grace in spite of his own sinful life (1 Corinthians 4:7).

The Bible specifies the way, or the means, that God gives faith to people. “Faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ” (Romans 10:17). It is the Word of God that produces faith. Someone could receive faith while hearing a sermon teaching the gospel, someone else by reading about Jesus in the Bible—any time the true gospel of Jesus is communicated, there is potential for faith. This is why it’s of paramount importance for believers everywhere to be obedient to the Great Commission (Matthew 28:16–20) and tell people what Christ has done for humanity. Faith is not the product of a preacher’s compelling presentation, his eloquence, or even his theological soundness—faith is given through the message about Jesus. This is the means God has chosen.

It is good for anyone who wants faith to ask for it. God freely gives what is good to all who ask (Luke 11:9–12), and it’s good to ask for an increase of faith (Luke 17:5; Mark 9:24). Jesus prayed for Peter’s faith to be strengthened (Luke 22:32). As with any gift from God, it is our responsibility to exercise the gift and not become complacent, lazy, or apathetic (Romans 12:1–2, 6–8). Christians can find comfort and peace of mind knowing their faith is from God, because He has said He will finish the good work He started (Philippians 1:6). God is the Author and the Perfecter of faith (Hebrews 12:2a; Romans 8:29–30).

As of 12:05 ET this was showing as having been scheduled for 12:02 and “missed schedule”. It popped out 12:06-ish.

OK – this means that WordPiss is still failing overall, but the kicker-outer is working better. Which is not to say that either one in particular or that both got fixed to any extent – it just means that something is helping the kicker-outer plugin catch missed publication sooner than it used to catch things.

Theoretically, the kicker-outer checks randomly every 15 minutes, but that may have changed to greater frequency, or what it checks for may be appearing sooner, or without delay.

BTW, this week’s and last week’s posts have been added to the sidebar.

A strong case that we should have stayed out of WW One.

That said, the Brits did a very effective job of ensuring we’d go in. One of the first acts of the war was to cut German transatlantic cables to the US, ensuring we’d only see the UK’s side of things. (Then, they were very careful not to be too ham-fisted with their propaganda, so their media that we saw had an aura of objectivity, even as it made up German war atrocities.)

Gail Combs

Notice in 1913 we got the Federal Reserve Act AND the 16th Amendment (Federal tax on the public) thus moving US citizen wealth FROM us TO the international banksters and Military Industrial complex thanks to the new ‘World Policemen’ Policy.

Good Grief the Propaganda is THICK!

A bit of a rabbit trail trying to find the actual truth.

Seems WIKI did a bit of editing..
WIKI — Samuel Prescott Bush (October 4, 1863 – February 8, 1948)

American steel industry executive and the patriarch of the Bush family. He was the father of U.S. Senator Prescott Bush, the paternal grandfather of former U.S. President George H. W. Bush, the patrilineal great-grandfather of former President George W. Bush

In 1901, Bush returned to Columbus to be general manager of Buckeye Steel Castings Company, which manufactured railway parts. The company was run by Frank Rockefeller, the brother of oil magnate John D. Rockefeller, and among its clients were the railroads controlled by E. H. Harriman. The Bush and Harriman families were closely associated at least until the end of World War II. In 1908, Rockefeller retired and Bush became president of Buckeye, a position held until 1927, becoming one of the top industrialists of his generation…

In the spring of 1918, banker Bernard Baruch was asked to reorganize the War Industries Board during World War I, and placed several prominent businessmen in key posts. Bush became chief of the Ordnance, Small Arms, and Ammunition Section, with national responsibility for government assistance to and relations with munitions companies.[7]

Bush served on the board of the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland (as well as of the Huntington National Bank of Columbus).[4] In 1931, he was appointed to Herbert Hoover’s President’s Committee for Unemployment Relief, chaired by Walter S. Gifford, then-president of AT&T.[8] He was once recommended to serve on the board of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, but Hoover did not feel he was sufficiently known nationally…

Two different versions:

Spartacus Educational — Bush

(Their references are Wikipedia 🙄)

…In 1908 Rockefeller retired and Bush became President of Buckeye.

Samuel Prescott Bush was also closely associated with Samuel Pryor, who, along with the Rockefellers, controlled the Remington Arms Company. During the First World WarClarence Dillion, a senior figure at the War Industries Board, arranged for Bush, to become chief of the Ordnance Small Arms and Ammunition Section of the WIB. This involved giving out contracts to supply arms and ammunition to the United States Army. Over half of the small-arms ammunition and 69% of the rifles used by the United States in the war were supplied by Remington.

The Bush Crime Family: Four Generations of Wall Street War-Making and War-ProfiteeringAugust, 2004 By Dr. Eric Karlstrom
A list of references that are NOT Wiki at the end of the article.

 …II. Samuel Prescott Bush (1863-1948: George W. Bush’s great grandfather). Founder of the Buckeye Steel Castings Company in 1894, Remington Arms Company, and Chief of the Ordnance, Small Arms and Ammunition Section of the War Industries Board for World War I.

In 1918, just after the US entered World War I, Bush became chief of the Ordnance, Small Arms and Ammunition Section of the War Industries Board. In this capacity, he sold weapons made by manufacturers such as his own Remington Arms Company to 75% of the WWI combatants on both sides. Congressional committee hearings in 1934 by U.S. Senator Gerald Nye attacked Bush and other weapons salesmen as war profiteers and “Merchants of Death.” Salesmen from these companies had helped to manipulate the nations into World War I and then made astronomical profits from the sales of the weapons, at the taxpayer’s expense of course. In 1914, the German army under the Kaiser, armed mainly by Samuel Bush, was the largest and best armed in the world. After WWI, the German army was forced to disarm, but Bush was allowed to keep his many millions, and his arms business thrived. In 1944, Bush was awarded a huge government contract to make armor casings for WWII. Most of the records and correspondence of Samuel Bush’s arms deals have been burned “to save space” in the National Archives. This pattern of the systematic deletion of large portions of the public records is typical of all the Bushes.

III. George Herbert Walker (George W. Bush’s other great grandfather): Wall Street banker and director or president of G.H. Walker and Co., J.P. Morgan and Co., Guaranty Trust Co., W.A. Harriman and Co., and Union Banking Corporation.

      

Walker made his fortune building up the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany, financing their oil, coal, steel, and manganese industries, among others. As President of Union Banking Corp. (UBC), he laundered money for Hitler and supplied raw materials essential for Germany’s waging World War II. His most prominent partners in financing Hitler’s war machine were Averell Harriman and Prescott Bush. Together, they ran Harriman-Walker, the Hamburg-Amerika Line (a cover for I.G. Farben’s Nazi espionage unit in the U.S.), the American Ship and Commerce Co. (which smuggled German agents, propaganda, and money into America to bribe American politicians to support the Nazi cause), the Harriman Fifteen Corporation, and the Silesian Holding Company. In addition, their Consolidated Silesian Steel Corporation owned 1/3 of a complex of steel-making, coal-mining, and zinc-mining activities in Germany.

(Friederich Flick owned two-thirds and was sentenced to 7 years imprisonment by the Nuremburg Tribunal, but the American partners were never tried). The Nazi army was equipped by Flick, Harriman, Walker, and Bush with materials stolen from Poland. Meanwhile, Soviet army vehicles were fueled by oil pumped from Baku wells revived by the Harriman/Walker/Bush enterprise.

        When the U.S. government seized the Silesian-American Corp. in 1942 under the “Trading with the Enemy Act,” George Herbert Walker was still the senior director of the company….

Puppet #2 Shrub = 1/2 speed ahead to Agenda 2030

The goal was always the same A New World Order (2 min) by Pappy Bush.

@erin6558

This speech was in 1991. On Sept 11, 1990, Bush addressed congress and said, “Out of these troubled times, our fifth objective—a new world order—can emerge: a new era—freer from the threat of terror, stronger in the pursuit of justice, and more secure in the quest for peace. An era in which the nations of the world, East and West, North and South, can prosper and live in harmony.” Eleven years later, 9/11/01 attacks. Another eleven years later, the attack on Benghazi on 9/11/12. Eleven is also a symbolic number I’ve read, as well as 33 (11+11+11). I will be praying for us all.

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

There was a famous (at least within Libertarian circles) quote about the Republicans doing nothing other than getting better gas mileage than the Dems on the road to tyranny.

Gail Combs

Yup — The Uniparty.

We were even TOLD they were the uniparty.

The chief problem of American political life for a long time has been how to make the two congressional parties more national and international. The argument that the two parties should represent opposed ideals and policies, one, perhaps of the Right and the other of the Left, is a foolish idea acceptable only to the doctrinaire and academic thinkers. Instead the two parties should be almost identical, so the that American people can ‘throw the rascals out’ at any election without leading to any profound or extensive shifts in policy.”

http://www.thirdworldtraveler.com/Banks/Tragedy_Hope_excerpt.html [As usual that paragraph has been scrubbed even in the archived versions so here is another link.]

Quote from Tragedy and Hope, 1966 by Carroll Quigley, member of Council on Foreign Relations,

“One of Professor Quigley’s most shocking revelations,” wrote Dr. Monteith,

“was the fact that the American Communist Party was partly financed by J. P. Morgan and Company…. J. P. Morgan and his associates financed the Republican Party, the Democratic Party, conservative groups, liberal organizations, communist groups and anti-communist organizations. Thus we should not be surprised to learn that someone purchased Professor Quigley’s publisher and destroyed the plates to the first half of his book so it couldn’t be reprinted.” [1, pp. 99-100]

And another bit of info as well as that quote:

SO YOU THINK YOU’RE SAFE WITH THE 2014 REPUBLICAN WIN

….Every morning program, including Fox, featured their hero, Gov. Chris Christie because he won New Jersey with a 21 point landslide. What does this tell you about the people of New Jersey? I mean really…Christie is certainly no conservative. In 2011, he appointed Islamist Sohail Mohammed for Superior Court judge of NJ. What he didn’t tell folks was that Mohammed was an attorney for Imam Mohammed Qatanani, a radical cleric linked to Hamas that the Department of Homeland Security wants to deport from the country. Mohammed was also the General Counsel for the American Muslim Union, a group closely tied to Qatanani’s mosque, the Islamic Center of Passaic County. The mosque continues to be an outreach partner of the Christie Administration.

The Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) honored Christie in September of 2014, as one of the heroes making “outstanding contributions to pushing back against Islamophobic trends in 2011 and 2012.” CAIR is an unindicted co-conspirator in a Hamas-financing trial and the Justice Department labeled it as a U.S. Muslim Brotherhood. Read more about Christie’s Islamic ties herein the Clarion Project.

Remember too who Christie has as his advisors for his 2016 presidential run. The top two advisors who should worry the public are Richard N. Haass, President of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), a position he has held since July 2003. Haass also has been Vice President and Director of Foreign Policy Studies at The Brookings Institution, (funded by the Rockefeller Foundation and the Carnegie Corporation of New York) a senior associate at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, a Lecturer in Public Policy at Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government, and a research associate at the International Institute for Strategic Studies, and a Rhodes Scholar. The other wonderful advisor really takes the cake…it’s none other than Soviet Agent, Henry Kissinger. [Actually British/Banker Agent] Needless to say, I didn’t spend much time watching these news programs…..

Unemployment Insurance Fraud is based on state laws and can include prison time.

Can only assume these are workers that were moon lighting from their govt jobs, lost their private sector job and so applied for unemployment despite being fully employed with the federal govt.

First they should all be fired. Second they need to prove they had their butts in a govt chair while collecting a govt pay check or all that money needs to be taken back. Third turned over to their respective states for punishment. Fourth either have their foreheads branded as Govt Fraudster or have their perp photo posted alphabetically by state on line. Good with either but it must be one or the other.

NEW: DC Court Smacks Down Federal Judge After He Ordered Trump Admin. to Rehire Liberal Voice of America Staffers – Legal Expert Reveals Why Ruling Will Have Widespread Impacts on Other Trump Cases

The liberal DC Circuit Court of Appeals handed President Trump a massive win on Saturday after a district court judge ordered him to rehire staff from far-left Voice of America that will have impacts lasting beyond just this one case, according to a legal expert.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, a federal judge last month ordered the Trump Administration to rehire Voice of America (VOA) and other affiliate news services staff. The affiliate staff included Radio Free Asia and the Middle East Broadcasting Network.

In March, Trump placed employees and contractors for government-funded Voice of America on leave.

US District Judge Royce Lamberth, a Reagan appointee, said Voice of America is funded by Congress and Trump’s cuts to the agency are “a direct affront to the power of the legislative branch.”

He then granted a preliminary injunction.

Thanks to this ridiculous decision, Voice of America staffers were set to return to work next week, and the station was set to resume broadcasting. But then an unexpected setback occurred this afternoon.

The DC Court of Appeals entered a stay of Lamberth’s injunction and suspended the first-instance decision, blocking the order that allowed them to return to work.

Legal Professor Margot Cleveland analyzed the decision and explained in detail why this ruling will have widespread implications. 

“The Court of Appeals decision is based on fundamental issue of “jurisdiction,” she explained. “This conclusion should have wide-spread ramifications because many of challenges to Trump Administration are about employment decisions which CONGRESS said are NOT for district courts to decide.”

Cleveland went on to add that Lamberth made another fundamental error, as the Court of Appeals pointed out: that the district court lacked jurisdiction to restore grants because Congress gave that authority to the Court of Claims. The Court of Appeals also stated how the SCOTUS decision compels that result, yet Lamberth ignored the SCOTUS.

The DC Circuit Court also noted that Voice of America was not being shuttered and that “with no bond, the harm to government is irreparable.” Moreover, the Court made clear that the Judiciary Branch, following the law, was not an option [i.e. the Judiciary Branch must follow the law].

Cleveland summed up her analysis of the massive decision by noting Trump achieved a big win that will apply to other cases brought against him for three key reasons: First, courts have no jurisdiction over firings; second, they have no jurisdiction over grant terminations; and third, judges can[‘t] use creative ‘loopholes’ to get around Congress.

“In sum, this opinion is a HUGE win for Trump because it establishes 3 key principles that apply to many of the other cases being brought against Trump Administration: a) no jurisdiction over firings; b) no jurisdiction over grant terminations; c) you can’t get around Congress limiting district court jurisdiction by creative pleading of claims under other theories

13/ c) you can’t get around Congress limiting district court jurisdiction by creative pleading of claims under other theories; d) with no bond harm to government will outweigh other harm; e) public has interest in Article III obey Article I.

— Margot Cleveland (@ProfMJCleveland) May 3, 2025

So it sounds like Judge Royce Lamberth is one of those rare judges who never actually went to law school.

These kinds of legal spankings probably happen to him a lot.

Wolf Moon

I have been surprised at the number of intermediate courts (such as appeals courts) that have ruled sensibly on Trump appeals. My only explanation is that their usual left-wing activists are trying to get onto SCOTUS, and don’t want to have reversals on their records.

TradeBait2

Probably a good assessment.

I don’t get why people do not see the marionette strings on many of the judges. Whenever an investigation is done into their backgrounds and with their associations, how they will rule in cases before them can be predicted with great accuracy.

There are several on the SCOTUS who rule using their personal life history, emotions and politics. It is in their written opinion and oral statements/questions. We know how they will vote based on the subject before them much of the time and it has zero to do with interpretation of law and the Constitution.

How did they get on there? Uniparty support. Your theory about the appeals justices indicates they want to keep it clean for the possibility of moving up to the SCOTUS if the Dems and Uniparty gain control is valid IMO.

Wolf Moon

Scary, isn’t it? The Vatican has nothing on the American judiciary!

This Regan appointed judge Lambreth is at the center of way too many controversial decisions. He’s a J6 lock’em up judge, didn’t even adjust the case for buffalo guy after evidence came out showing he was getting a guided tour by capitol police, he held up many of Trump’s pardon’s for J6rs, now this, while I’m sure his name has come up from other questionable decisions that I just can’t remember at the moment. Guy needs one of those colonoscopy things done with a light saber turned up to max power.

Today, I wrote to @PeteHegseth urging him to authorize U.S. service academies like West Point to accept the Classic Learning Test (CLT) for admissions—just as they do the SAT.

The @CLT_Exam is surging in popularity among students, parents, and teachers.

Why? Because it champions rigor, logical thinking, and deep comprehension of classic texts like the Constitution and Declaration of Independence.

The SAT, meanwhile, has ditched America’s founding documents due to their “extended length,” claiming they’re “not an essential prerequisite for college and career readiness.”

That’s absurd—and exactly why students are turning to the CLT.

In Florida alone, 120,000 students took the CLT in the 2023–2024 school year.

Yet not a single one of them is eligible to apply to West Point or the Naval Academy. That must change—and under Secretary Hegseth’s leadership, I believe it will. 

Accepting the CLT will ensure that the U.S. service academies are open to all intellectually capable and morally committed candidates eager to serve their nation.

How is your recovery coming Carl? I hope your strength is quickly being restored!

Valerie Curren

I’m sorry that you are suffering these challenges. When my son Josiah has his first heart surgery he was home on lasix & aldactone, he’d had congestive heart failure prior to the surgery. I wonder if the amiodarone & aldactone might be related meds given the “one” at the end. My son threw up virtually every time I dosed him & I thought it was due to a hypersensitive gag reflex (he’d barely eaten orally before discharge from the hospital at 2 1/2 months being fed via a nasal gavage tube there) but now I wonder if the meds actually caused nausea too.

I hope you find things that work for you or help alleviate the side effects. May God guide your searches for alternatives & continue to provide His healing, peace, & rest.

Wolf Moon

If the drugs causing side effects are working, you may just need a lower dosage, and you can talk to the doc about that. Very often, the older people get, the more side effects they see, but also the less drug they need.

para59r

I use a razor blade to lower dosages. If the cut is a bit much on one side as opposed to the other and I’m feeling okay, I’ll take the smaller one that day and save the bigger one for the next 😁

Currently only doing it for one med. A satin. I can feel the cushioning effect Satin provides, but am appalled at all the bad news about it so splits it for almost two years now and so far with good effect.

Great way to save up on med stash and not bother the doc with frivolous stuff.

Gail Combs

You can get a pill splitter.

Wally Mart, Walgreens, CVS carry them. The one I bought for the prednisone works great.

Dollar Store pill splitter. Since Covidiot, $1.25.

I’ve been giving DH an olive leaf supplement as well as ubiquinone form of COQ10 and nattokinase and fish oil, the last 2 for blood thinners. The meds he came home with were very helpful for a while, and then as he was healing, by the grace of God, they started causing more problems. We reduced some, and then when problems presented again, slowly introduced supplements that worked. It pays to read all the fine print about side effects, and research supplements. DH had a couple of bottles of the olive leaf supplement which he’d not used, and after looking at them, decided to try it out with a lower dose of his prescription. It did help with keeping his bp as well as his heart beat more regular. Now he’s no longer on prescription meds. I’m NOT hawking supplements, but I will hawk the power of healing from God and the knowledge He has provided me.

Gail Combs

I use the ubiquinone form of COQ10 and have for decades. I also used the nattokinase and fish oil.

However I switched to Serrapeptase (Doctor’s best brand) because of my lung problems as well as the NAC.

Do not forget the Milk thistle for liver support.

“Faith is a gift – not a work.” This is very helpful!

Robert Baker

Would one call faith in action a work? This is a legitimate question, not an attempt to be provocative.

Robert Baker

My thought was, as an example often used as a sermonic illustration, Peter getting out of the boat and walking atop the storm waters. I am not sure that classifies as a good deed, but it is definitely faith in action.

Wolf Moon

IMO this gets into semantics, in the idea that “faith in action” basically means “action prompted by or demonstrating faith”. Thus, I think we could just say “Faith per se is a gift – not a work” and that separates the two cases.

E.g., movement can be “gravity in action” – but movement is not gravity per se.

Robert Baker

That is a necessary understanding about words. Words, especially nouns, are descriptions of concepts, or as Plato might argue, forms. So, semantics can be very important in the discussion. Faith, particularly faith with respect to God, can have several meanings depending on the context in which it is found. Therefore, we can talk about faith in several ways that limits our ability to say faith is X, when in fact, it can be X, Y, or Z.

Speaking of bacon, and migrants 🙂

Two Mexicans are stuck in the desert after crossing into the United States, wandering aimlessly and starving. They are at death’s door, when all of a sudden Jose says….

“¿Hey Pepe, do you smell what I smell? Ees bacon, I theenk.”

“Si, Jose: eet sure smells like bacon. ”

With renewed hope they struggle up the next sand dune, and there in the distance, is a tree loaded with bacon. Rashers upon rashers of bacon…

There’s raw bacon, there’s fried bacon, back bacon, Canadian bacon, extra-thick bacon, double smoked bacon, Black Forest bacon …. Every imaginable kind of bacon…

“¡Pepe, Pepe, we ees saved! Ees a bacon tree.”

“Jose, maybe ees a meerage? We ees in the desert don’t forget.”

“Pepe, since when deed you ever hear of a meerage that smell like bacon…ees no meerage; ees a bacon tree.”

And with that, Jose staggers towards the tree. He gets to within 5 metres, Pepe crawling close behind, when suddenly machine gun fire breaks out, and Jose drops like a rock.

Mortally wounded, he warns Pepe with his dying breath,

“Pepe… Go back, amigo, you was right, ees not a bacon tree!”

“Jose, JOSE. MI Amigo… What ees it? ”

“Pepe.. Ees not a bacon tree.

Ees…

That tweet by Steve Kirsch reads:

BREAKING: The Payette Police are investigating the death of 18 month twins infants.

We’ve seen SIDS cases before. With twins and no other causes such as CO poisoning, the most likely cause is a vaccine-mediated death.

The police need to ask:

1. which vaccines were given within 10 days of death?

2. is there a family history of reaction to any of the vaccines given?

3. Was there an ER visit within 24 hours of the shots?

4. Did the kids have identical severe reactions?

5. Did the ER doc attribute the reactions to the vaccines?

6. Was tylenol prescribed?

7. Could the coroner determine a cause of death?

Once the police figure out that the drug companies and FDA and CDC are the problem, the news media will drop the story so nobody will know.

The cycle will repeat over and over again, just like it has for decades.

NEVER VACCINATE YOUR KIDS.

I should add this comment.

I DO NOT TRUST HOSPITALS!!!

If you have a child in a corporate run hospital, they will take the newborn out of your sight to ‘clean him up’ I seriously doubt that they would not take that opportunity to ALSO give the child his ‘newborn’ shots. After all THEY are the experts not you. Also they will ignore your wishes in favor of ‘corporate policy’ I would not be at all surprised to find they also included some of the 2 month shots if they thought you were an ANTI-VAXER.

SO I would make sure someone was with me to PREVENT the baby from being left alone with the medical staff.

https://www.healthline.com/health/vaccinations#children

Name of Vaccine ………..Age…………How many shots?
Hepatitis B………………Birth ……….A second at 1–2 months, a third at 6–18 months

Rotavirus (RV)……… 2 months……. A second at 4 months, a third at 6 months

Diphtheria, tetanus, and whooping cough (DTaP) … 2 months
A second at 4 months, a third at 6 months, a fourth at 15–18 months, a fifth at 4 to 6 years, and then every 10 years

Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) ….2 months
A second at 4 months, a third at 6 months, a fourth at 12–15 months

Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine PCV13….2 months
A second at 4 months, a third at 6 months, a fourth at 12-15 months

Inactivated Polio Vaccine (IPV) …2 months
A second at 4 months, a third at 6–18 months, a fourth at 4-6 years

Aubergine

You are looking for mature flower heads filled with seeds. The petals will be starting to dry out. Then you need to let the heads dry completely. I would spread them on a screen. Once they are completely dry, separate out the seeds.

You can use the seeds to make tea. Crush or grind the seeds and steep. I like to cover my steeping tea to be sure no compounds escape in the steam.

Thank you. Since I have a couple of very healthy plants growing next to my shed row, I might as well harvest the herb and use it.

EACH DAY WE TAKE UP THE OFFENSIVE WEAPON OF THE WORD OF GOD – THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT – ONE VERSE OPENS THE DOOR TO THE CONTEXT OF THE CHAPTER MESSAGE

Verse of the Day for Sunday, May 4, 2025

“God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.” 

1 Corinthians 1:9 (KJV)

COMMENTARY FOR 1 CORINTHIANS 1

“The Corinthian church contained some Jews, but more Gentiles, and the apostle had to contend with the superstition of the one, and the sinful conduct of the other. The peace of this church was disturbed by false teachers, who undermined the influence of the apostle. Two parties were the result; one contending earnestly for the Jewish ceremonies, the other indulging in excesses contrary to the gospel, to which they were especially led by the luxury and the sins which prevailed around them. This epistle was written to rebuke some disorderly conduct, of which the apostle had been apprized, and to give advice as to some points whereon his judgment was requested by the Corinthians. Thus the scope was twofold. 1. To apply suitable remedies to the disorders and abuses which prevailed among them. 2. To give satisfactory answers on all the points upon which his advice had been desired. The address, and Christian mildness, yet firmness, with which the apostle writes, and goes on from general truths directly to oppose the errors and evil conduct of the Corinthians, is very remarkable. He states the truth and the will of God, as to various matters, with great force of argument and animation of style.A salutation and thanksgiving. (1-9)”

All Christians are by baptism dedicated and devoted to Christ, and are under strict obligations to be holy. But in the true church of God are all who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, and who call upon him as God manifest in the flesh, for all the blessings of salvation; who acknowledge and obey him as their Lord, and as Lord of all; it includes no other persons. Christians are distinguished from the profane and atheists, that they dare not live without prayer; and they are distinguished from Jews and pagans, that they call on the name of Christ. Observe how often in these verses the apostle repeats the words, Our Lord Jesus Christ. He feared not to make too frequent or too honourable mention of him. To all who called upon Christ, the apostle gave his usual salutation, desiring, in their behalf, the pardoning mercy, sanctifying grace, and comforting peace of God, through Jesus Christ. Sinners can have no peace with God, nor any from him, but through Christ. He gives thanks for their conversion to the faith of Christ; that grace was given them by Jesus Christ. They had been enriched by him with all spiritual gifts. He speaks of utterance and knowledge. And where God has given these two gifts, he has given great power for usefulness. These were gifts of the Holy Ghost, by which God bore witness to the apostles. Those that wait for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, will be kept by him to the end; and those that are so, will be blameless in the day of Christ, made so by rich and free grace. How glorious are the hopes of such a privilege; to be kept by the power of Christ, from the power of our corruptions and Satan’s temptations!”

Commentary by Matthew Henry, 1710.

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.

Pepe’s Fren Zone

Faith Requires Risk
PEPE LIVES MATTER
DEC 22, 2024

https://pepelivesmatter.substack.com/p/faith-requires-risk

Faith requires risk. Risk creates an uncomfortable situation inside of you because you are entrusting your fate, your circumstance to someone who has mystery encased around Him. You desire to search and discover just how trustworthy God can really be and He is wanting the exact same thing. But what happens when your faith is tested? Your resolve can become weary when your preconceived notions of how your life should go when you put that very life into God’s hands and that notions are shattered. How can you trust God when He is the one nailing you to a cross? It’s almost an oxymoron. You sought to be safe in His hands yet those very hands are actively searching for your demise. The death of your old self, that is. The self that sees things in such simplistic ways. The self doesn’t truly speak God’s language. We are but toddlers in a vast universe. Born into such a temporary flash of a life. Our instincts tell us to run away from danger, to hide when death is at our doorstep. God comes to us in His own time, reaches out His hand as though a fiery flame, and asks us to sit in the burning bush to the detriment of all that we once held dear. The longer we reside in this place, the less we seem to care about the things of this world. Yet this takes its toll on our soul. The enemy wages war, resisting us, scattering wounds across our bodies. As if a battered desert monk, awaiting a meal. We are fed crumbs to keep us on the path. It is as if God himself makes it so we do not fall. If the totality of all this were in our power alone, we would have run away long ago. God, as they say, is an all-consuming fire. Where could one even go to escape? Yet, they say He is good. But make no mistake, he is dangerous. Dangerous to all the archaic beliefs you cling to, deadly to your fear of death, he will allow you to become uncomfortable and even suffer along with Him. It was C.S. Lewis who so eloquently wrote about the lion: Safe? ‘Course he isn’t safe. But he’s good. He’s the King, I tell you. 

comment image

If you want a comfortable life, following Christ is not for you. But if you want to live for something far greater than yourself, to feel the thrill of risking it all just to find out how good He really is, then what are you waiting for? Perhaps you will not find out all that your faith accomplished with Him on this side of heaven, but what have you really got to lose? 

Some are holding back in their hearts. You see the corruption on this earth, you seek temporary pleasures and idealistic locations yet gnawing emptiness remains. I cannot promise you that you will be comfortable following Christ. But you just may find out the very reason you were born. Your soul is drawn to God for a reason, to that unquenchable flame. Release your fear and let God do something only He could possibly do. They said that to go up onto the mountain of Moses to speak with God would cause their deaths. And, in many ways, they were right. You must risk your very life to find out who God really is. 

comment image

In exchange, there are many turmoils and troubles, but your soul is enlivened. You understand that your life is worth exchanging just in the feint hope that you might become God’s friend and warrior here on earth. That decision is something that comes deep inside of you and it is a treasure you tend to all the days of your life. What could possibly be more valuable than the eternal? Oh weary heart, keep risking it all until the very end.
There will come a time when we look back and think of all this suffering as if it were a dream. The suffering will feel inconsequential, other than becoming like a crown of honor, that it won’t affect us negatively in the slightest. An overwhelming sense of joy. Pure bliss in our heavenly reward. 

Thank you for reading and the continued support of my musings and digs.

Paging Big Mike.

I have always liked Michelle Obama, that ended this morning.

I have been watching clips of her making the rounds complaining about her time as First Lady. She is complaining that living in the White House was too expensive because they had to pay for their own food and pay for the girls to fly on one of their parents 2 airplanes.

I’m done.

I’m done with the bougie, the elite, the completely out of touch dictating how everyone in this country thinks and feels. The fucking ignorance and self pity, the attention seeking poor me-I am just disgusted.

Her husband made $400k/year.

When he was elected I was a single mom trying to recover from losing everything when the market crashed and I lost my house in foreclosure and had to file bankruptcy.

I have spent the years since rebuilding my life, and I have a lot to be thankful for. I now own a beautiful home and a small chunk of land, but it took me 40+ years to get here.
I lived in a homeless shelter for a time when I was a kid.
I had to stay in my grandmother’s senior high rise on the down low cause it was illegal because the only other option was a shelter. I had cockroaches crawling on me in my bed as a kid.
But you people think parading Michelle Obama around to make me feel sorry for her financial troubles because she had to pay for her kid to ride on HER FUCKING AIRPLANE is going to be effective?

Literally go fuck yourselves.

The absolute fucking audacity these rich and clueless have is beyond disgusting.

How dare she complain about anything finance related when she literally charges $1M to give a speech?
That is some kind of nerve. JFC

I have been saying this for 10 years straight and nobody is listening but y’all need to wake up. Stop falling for race baiting and culture war bullshit.

The real war is NOT the race war, that is a distraction and the war they want you to be fighting. The real war is the class war and until you wake up and realize that, nothing is going to change. Absolutely nothing.

That woman has literally had the perfect life handed to her on a silver platter including Ivy League educations for her daughters she can STFU right now.

Absolutely ungrateful, selfish, and a wannabe victim. Just gross. And if your first instinct is to come on my post and defend this behavior cause you like the Obamas, then you’re gross too. IDGAF. Find better role models.
I liked them too til they showed us who they really are

What are your thoughts?

That they should have been in the kitchen, making dinner? I mean, what are we supposed to think — hooray because some women went on a joy ride into space? I couldn’t care less.

I do not DO sandwiches since I dislike eatable napkins bread. Hubby wants a sandwich he buys the bread and he makes them.

Notice how in a lot of our food carbs are just a delivery system for the good stuff. Even potato chips and dip are an example.

Gail Combs

That is why I just cut the carbs and go direct for the good stuff.

Why eat carbs that I do not particularly like?

Bread is between $1.60 to $6.00 or more at Wally Mart. I rather have a 1/2 lb of steak than a pound of bread!

Yes, it occurred to me that I should have included the word entitled:

Sounds good. 🥗 My statement was the stereotypical “anti-women” opinion that they try to pin on us.

The truth, just as with race, is that no one objects to anyone doing a job or accomplishing a task as long as they are capable and qualified and will do it with excellence.

Women have already been in space. At least one that I know of, Christa McAuliffe, died while on a mission. She was not an astronaut but was the payload specialist on the Challenger as part of the NASA Teacher in Space Project. She was going into space with astronauts on an actual mission and was going to conduct experiments and teach two lessons from space. I admire her. Entitled women going on a joyride without a man (❗️), not at all. It’s silly, and they won’t stop talking about it, which turns me away even more.

1983 Sally Ride was the first American gal in space. Fortunate to watch the launch. Spectacular, is an understatement.

News to me.

  • Valentina Tereshkova was the first woman to travel in space. She was launched on a solo mission aboard the spacecraft Vostok 6 on June 16, 1963, orbiting the Earth 48 times over the course of 71 hours.

Good info!

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

Yes the Soviets made big propaganda points with Tereshkova; it would be almost twenty years before we did the same.

I recall reading somewhere that she was just along for the ride (so to speak) unlike Sally Ride who did actual work.

She is still the only woman to have flown on a solo mission, and that’s likely to remain true indefinitely as we don’t do solo missions any more.

Declaration of Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò on the Secret Vatican Agreement with China

By Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò May. 4, 2025 10:20 am

THE VIOLATION OF THE SINO-VATICAN AGREEMENT

AsiaNews Agency has reported (here) that on April 28 the diocesan clergy of Shanghai elected Father Wu Jianlin as their bishop. The same thing happened on April 29, with the election of Father Li Jianlin as bishop of the Diocese of Xinxiang. Both appointments, coming from the schismatic “patriotic church,” were made in clear violation of the terms of the secret Agreement that the Vatican signed with the Beijing government in 2018 and renewed in 2020, 2022, and 2024 for four years.

The clauses of this Agreement – which is officially secret, although some details have leaked out – are said to provide on the one hand that the Holy See recognizes the Chinese Patriotic Catholic Association as part of the Catholic Church and that the Chinese Communist Party has the authority to appoint its Bishops; and on the other hand that the Pope should be recognized to have – at least in theory – the right to veto such appointments and to ratify the removal of legitimate bishops that the Communist Party intends to replace with other bishops of its own nomination.

Trump Sends Message, Shall We Play A Game, It Had To Be This Way, Old Guard Threatened – Ep. 3634

The [DS]/[CB] green agenda is falling apart, everything they said the opposite is happening. Another solar company goes belly up. China is trying to skirt the tariffs, this will fail. The tariffs are working, companies are moving back. Trump messages that we are in a transition and soon the people will see the gold. The [DS] is going down the path that trump sent. They are now exposing their infiltration and people can now see the entrenched enemy. Trump and the patriots are playing the game and it had to be this way to show the people the criminal syndicate. Trump has removed the three sides of the triangle and now the old guard is threatened.

Good online friends —

Solas is back from the trip to the Emergency Vet earlier today. He was given an injection of a strong antibiotic (they gave me the pill form to administer the medication to him here at home.) The bloody areas were cleaned — the discharge was normal but it just looks awful.
However, here’s an issue: potential for tissue necrosis due to the type of bite puncture injuries he got when he was attacked. There may be the need to another surgery to take care of any dead / infected tissue. I’m to watch him carefully for the next 2 weeks on this account.
There’s an additional issue; development of GI problems and/or diarrhea, either or both of which could be dangerous for Solas. I’m to monitor this situation very closely for the next 2 weeks.
Solas was put on an additional medication to induce a little sedation due to his anxiety and pain levels.
The drain that was installed on the wound on his back may be removed tomorrow at his regular vet’s clinic. He has an exam appointment there in the morning.

The extent of the wounds that Solas received are significant. The wound on the back is beside the spine. The wound on the left side is deep enough to cause concern regarding his internal organs. So far, there’s no evidence of internal injury or bleeding.

The emergency vet told me today that Solas’ situation might have “turned out very badly” and that he’s lucky.

It is by the Grace of the Almighty God that I was able to fight off that vicious German Shepherd and get Solas off my driveway, where the attacker had the little guy on his back and was coming in for the kill. It was also by the Grace of the Almighty God that I myself wasn’t injured by the German Shepherd — especially after I got Solas to safety and the German Shepherd started coming after me.

The 6 foot high, sturdy wood fence that is to be installed between my property and the property next door where the German Shepherd lives will take place this week.

My little guy has been here for me since March 2021. He has helped me, in his dog way, through many a day when it was incredibly tough for me over the past 4 years. By the Grace of the Almighty God, I was able to save my dog’s life when this German Shepherd attacked him. Now it’s my job to see it through that Solas gets completely better —
and to see to it that Justice is rendered.

Might be a good idea to carry a little can of bear spray with you, if unrestrained dogs are a problem in the area.

Or something like a .38 Special.

Even a little Glock 42 (.380 ACP) should be enough for anything the size of a German Shepherd.

Gail Combs

When horseback riding I carried a water pistol filled with water & ammonia. I had to use it a few times too.

At the time pepper spray and bear spray were not invented.

scott467

“This is the “start of things to come”, so to speak.”

____________

Did you file a police report?

I don’t know what the laws are in your area, but if the dog was not on a leash or otherwise restrained by a fence or similar, and he came onto your property and attacked your dog, it seems the owner of the German Shepherd ought to be liable for at least the medical bills for Solas.

Hopefully the owner of the German Shepherd is a dog lover, and would be very remorseful about the entire situation and what happened to your dog.

If so, hopefully they will want to do whatever they can to make things right, at least as right as can be, under the circumstances.

If they don’t, a police report would probably help facilitate whatever legal recourse might be in order.

IMO, the next door people are not honorable. There were adults on the property there when their dog ran into my driveway and attacked my dog. NO ONE from next door came to my aid. I did NOT hear anyone next door yelling at their dog to stop.

Thank you.
IMO, that German Shepherd next door was likely trained to be a guard / attack dog. IMO, that German Shepherd next door considers my Yorkie to be “on his territory”, even though my dog and I are on my own property.
This German Shepherd has already scared away some neighborhood people who walked their dogs on the path of the golf course that abuts the rear of my property and of the one next door. It appears that the neighborhood people now walk their dogs somewhere else.

PAVACA

And I did make a complaint report about a Vicious Dog attack on my little guy with the Animal Control officer.

Gail Combs

GOOD.

If you know any of the other dog owners who have had trouble with that dog it would be useful to have them as witnesses.

‘Good fences make good neighbors’ is a phrase I learned as a child.

Gail Combs

And it sounds like said neighbor should PAY FOR IT at minimum!

Gail Combs

Just a note (I do not know if it is the same for dogs.)

One of my ponies had a very nasty wire cut almost 2 feet long and down to the bone on a hind leg. We were able to save him (He is fine now.) However during healing towards the end of the process, there is a problem with ‘Proud Flesh’ forming.

….Proud flesh is the overproduction of granulation tissue in a horse. Granulation tissue is the material that the body makes during wound repair. Medically, this condition is known as “exuberant granulation tissue.” It is recognized by its red, bumpy, cobblestone appearance.

Proud flesh is a very common condition in horses–occurring most often on the horse’s legs, below the knee [lower front leg] and hock [lower back leg]…

My vet was worried about this condition but the medicine was very caustic and costly. Therefore I took the advice of my native Indian friend and used fresh aloe once he was almost healed. No proud flesh formed and even the hair came back it’s normal brown color! Today, two years later you can not tell he was cut at all. NO SCAR!!!

This is what it looks like (NASTY.)

Shepard owner needs to pay for Solas medical, Solas pain and suffering, 6′ fence AND PAVACA stress and anguish.

Some legal type can figure more.

Some ambulance chaser ought to be able to snag major bucks.

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

That’s assuming the Shepard owner isn’t judgment proof (i.e., too broke to pay a judgment).

I’d first go and ask for the vet bills. Then if they aren’t reasonable I’d call the lawyer and drop the boom on them.

PAVACA

SteveInCO
Thank you. I don’t think the new owner of the property next door is “broke.” The new owner is a person who owns their own electrical contracting business with several employees.

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

I still would see if they are willing to be reasonable before having a lawyer go after them. Unfortunately only the lawyers win that sort of thing.

kalbokalbs

Have never sued anyone. Hope not to, never do so.

If someone in my family is bitten by a dog, the owner best immediately offer to pay All bills.

  • Zero reason to have to ask the dog owner, to act responsible.
  • Anything short of that, I’ll go straight to a lawyer.

I have no patience with threatening dogs and certainly not a vicious dog attack.

Poor little guy! I pray he won’t have necrosis. Sometimes the meds can cause GI problems, but I imagine the vets are aware of whether the ones he is getting will do that.

I have no idea how you got Solas away from the dog without getting injured. It does seem like a miracle.

PAVACA

TheseTruths
Thank you.
The fact that I wasn’t injured — or worse — by that German Shepherd as I fought it off my little guy is proof of the existence of God. That damned attack dog had my little Yorkie on the ground of MY driveway, had already bitten him TWICE with significant physical damage to him, and was clearly “coming in for the kill” while I was screaming to the attacker dog to get out, (see above — nobody from next door came to my aid, although there were adults on the property there at the time), kicking at it, and pulling my little guy up and off the driveway and getting him to safety.

scott467

Assuming they were within earshot, it would seem bizarre and unconscionable not to have come to your aid.

OTOH, if they did not hear you screaming, and there was no blood on the German Shepherd, they may be wholly unaware that anything even happened.

At some point, it would be good to find out, in case they are unaware and might be eager to make things right, however they can.

And if not, then invoke Plan B.

kalbokalbs

From peanut gallery. LE responded as did animal control.

If the dog owner is not offering to financially make things right, checking on Solas, copious apologies. It Is Time To Get A lawyer.

scott467

I didn’t know LE responded, I missed that part. If LE responded, I would expect that they made contact with the German Shepherd’s owners at that time, and took a statement of some kind.

From the photo Pavaca posted, it looked like she may live in a rural area where the houses could be fairly far apart, in which case you might not hear someone calling for help from the house on the adjacent property.

It was unclear (to me) whether animal control was called at the time of the incident, or later, or whether animal control spoke with the German Shepherd’s owner.

SETTLE ME, LORD

My heart is rapidly pounding
My state of affairs confounding
I am shaking/quaking beyond belief
Whatever I try I find no relief

Something has disturbed my peace
The turmoil inside just will not cease
My energy level is dangerously low
What it is that is broken I do not know

Nothing should change my resolve
I must fight to defeat delete dissolve
This interruption disruption in my life
Meddling unsettling pedaling strife

Alone in the darkness I tend to shiver 
Lacking control I slither and quiver
What is wrong with me I cannot say
But it just keeps on and won’t go away

Settle Me, Lord help me to rest
In this condition I cannot do my best
Whatever it is from it wash me clean
Teach me a lesson from which to glean

Your thought process has brought you here
You gave up your authority my sweet dear
I gave you calming music you listen not
You let ‘it’ control you and you got caught

There is no medicine that can cure ‘it’
There is no formula than can detour ‘it’
I gave you the power to stop this attack
I gave you the means to pick up the slack

Exercise, breathing, and thought control
All of these will again make you whole
Emotional turmoil blocks rational thought
Eliminate it and you will be as you ought

Change your attitude change your life
Positive thinking diminishes strife
Movement replaces emotional confusion
All of ‘it’ is actually an illusion

You can take control and beat your distress
By changing your thoughts eliminate stress
By exercising you switch your concentration
Your physical movement serves as activation

Your shiver and shake ceases to be
Your uncertainty dissolves instantly
Your mind directs your body to move
And your anxiety begins to improve

God gave us the ability to heal mind body spirit
We just need to learn how to clear it not fear it
The body does what the mind commands
It moves it rests it contracts it expands

So it is with emotions as well with control
Our thoughts can trigger disconnect or cajole
Our attitude plays a part in this scenario as well
It is where we decide we are going to dwell

Negative thinking brings about negative outcomes
The opposite is true and to what it succumbs
When we take authority of events in life
We eliminate the stress and the strife

Whatever the problem or issue that disturbs you
It is nothing you and God together cannot subdue
When God enters the situation the solution is clear
You will have eyes to see and ears to hear

So Settle Me, Lord as only You can
Help me to see and perfect Your plan
Take away the illusion of ‘it’
Cleanse me from all and every bit

Thank you for the update, PAVACA. You and Solas will be in my prayers and I pray the GSD gets taken from the current owners who failed him so badly to the great harm of you and Solas. Years ago, I lived in apartments with my two very young westie siblings. The GSD girl dog downstairs was so good to the both of them. Very gentle and well trained. I am reminded of the abuse that Biden’s dogs must have experienced to cause them to attack Secret Service people. They should never be allowed near animals again.

potential for tissue necrosis due to the type of bite puncture injuries he got when he was attacked. There may be the need to another surgery to take care of any dead / infected tissue.”

I wonder if maggots could be used to clear the dead tissue, & perhaps the infected stuff too, to avoid another surgery?

My grandpa was hit in the ear with a snowball as a child & lost his hearing in that ear. At one point a fly laid eggs in the ear canal & the maggots there ate up the dead/infected tissue & halted it’s intrusion about 1/4″ from his brain. I believe the doctors said those maggots actually saved my grandpa’s life.

She may very well have gone to one already. AND she may very well be telling the truth.

What do we know?

  1. There are Satanic Cults in the USA.
  2. Ronald Bernard, the Dutch banker exposed the Satanic Globalist elites in the EU
  3. Putin charged the west with satanism. LINK and Reuters Fact Check says No record of Vladimir Putin saying the West is controlled by ‘Satanic paedophiles’

but we then have:
Putin attacks West as ‘satanic’, hails Russian “traditional” values (Yahoo news)

MOSCOW, Sept 30 (Reuters) – Russian President Vladimir Putin said the West was “satanic” and rejected “moral norms” in a combative speech delivered from the Kremlin on Friday.

Putin attacked the West’s liberalism, saying that, unlike Russia, it had turned away from “traditional” and “religious” values.

At one point in the speech, in which Putin announced Russia was annexing four regions of Ukraine, he asked the assembled dignitaries if they wanted “children to be offered sex-change operations”, a practice he implied was widespread in the West.

In his two decades in power, Putin has routinely promoted what he says are “traditional values” and suppressed LGBTQ rights through a number of laws and by backing ultra-conservative movements and initiatives. (Reporting by Reuters; Editing by Kevin Liffey)

On top of all that is the Operation Gladio stuff which includes training of our police not to mention the Mafia and the Cartels in TERRORISM.

Doesn’t mean Dad had anything to do with criminal behavior.

Wolf Moon

I will admit that it’s not proof, but it raises suspicions – especially at 12 years old.

I give a lot of side-eye to accusations of organized SRA, particularly when famous people are involved as the perps (much of it sounds like classic schizophrenia) but familial sexual abuse among normies is sadly very common – and the extent was well-known to many of us teens back in the late 60s and early 70s. It doesn’t get talked about as openly any more, but I seriously doubt it went away.

Dad and mom separated but cohabiting – sleeping on different floors with the kids – dad upstairs with the pedo-aged daughters, Mom downstairs with the little girl who turns into a boy – this is fertile ground (no pun intended) for all the sexual pathology that I heard about from other kids.

I’m talking about sexual pathologies within these kids’ own families, or their neighbor kids getting caught molesting younger kids – it was sadly common – and this was in a “good” neighborhood.

The reality is that sex crimes are many times more common than the ones that are caught – and even just the number that are convicted would shock the hell out of people. Just looking at neighborhoods using online pedo-reporting sites (where those are required by law) is always shocking. Everybody’s zip code has way, way more sex criminals than they ever realized. Sure, some of those are bullshit, but the far greater number of real ones that never get reported or convicted – that’s what’s really scary.

So – a 12-year-old girl with vaginal problems, or a boy with anal problems, just screams trouble to me.

From OT, posing some good questions at the conclusion:

CIA to Cut 1,200 (5%) Jobs Within Spy Agency – Director Ratcliffe Shifts Focus to “Human Intelligence”
May 3, 2025 

SD: “The Washington Post (but of course, CIA outlet) is reporting on a downsizing effort within the CIA to eliminate approximately 1,200 jobs. The number represents approximately 5% of the workforce although the actual number of CIA employees is classified (national security, dontchaknow).
comment image
.

Within the report, Director John Ratcliffe is noted as shifting the focus of America’s leading spy agency to use more “human intelligence.” That phrase, “human intelligence,” is IC silo code speak for shifting away from “analysts” (political operatives) and engaging in more ¹factual intelligence information.

According to the report, DNI Tulsi Gabbard has also reduced the employment level within the Director of National Intelligence office by approximately 25% (current payroll estimate of 2,000 employees). The general narrative within the WaPo reporting is that “national security” is being compromised by large downsizing of spy agency employment.

Additionally, to bolster the positions of the current political operatives within the CIA, the WaPo waxes concerningly about China and other mysterious foreign adversaries recruiting the CIA employees who are now becoming increasingly concerned about their paychecks.

WASHINGTON POST – “The Trump administration is planning significant personnel cuts at the Central Intelligence Agency and other major U.S. spy units, downsizing the government’s most sensitive national security agencies, according to people familiar with the plans.

The administration recently informed lawmakers on Capitol Hill that it intends to reduce the CIA’s workforce by about 1,200 personnel over several years and cut thousands more from other parts of the U.S. intelligence community, including at the National Security Agency, a highly secretive service that specializes in cryptology and global electronic espionage, a person familiar with the matter said. The person, like others interviewed, spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive matters.

[…] The staff reductions would take place over several years and would be accomplished in part through reduced hiring. No outright firings are envisioned. The goal of a roughly 1,200-person staff reduction includes several hundred individuals who already have opted for early retirement, the person familiar with the matter said.

The downsizing is taking place separately from efforts by the U.S. DOGE Service, led by billionaire Elon Musk, to radically restructure the federal government. Musk met with Ratcliffe in late March for a discussion that included government efficiency measures, but no DOGE teams have been working at the agency’s Langley, Virginia, campus. (more)

[¹Obviously, I can certainly appreciate the “human intelligence” shift noted by Director Ratcliffe for all the factual reasons that necessitate his concern. It is part of the reason why I ended up frustrated with “western reports” and determined the only way to really understand what is going on inside Russia during the sanctions was to travel there myself and review.

It was quite an experience to sit in a renamed Starbucks coffee shop at the crowded Galleria Mall in downtown St Petersburg, Russia and read the Wall Street Journal reporting on the devastation to the Russian economy, while looking around at the packed stores and purchases being made on an ordinary weekday. Then to read the New York Times reports of shortages of steel in Russia, while driving past many miles of apartment and condominium construction. Everything cited in western corporate media, “according to sources familiar with the situation”, was/is the complete opposite of everything factually visible.]

♦ Imagine a world, our world, where all the scary threat protection systems are removed. What does that world look like?

CCTV cameras removed. Body scans at airports removed. X-Ray machines removed. Shoes stay on. You carry a bottle of water onto an airplane without issue. You return to the 1980’s world of transit.

Your metadata is no longer being captured for review. Your conversations are no longer being recorded by your devices. Your data profile is no longer being sold and monetized.
No one is tracking you, or anyone else. It’s a scary world with all kinds of perceived ‘risks’ and potential ‘threats’ existing, that never surface.

It’s a world where all these terrible ‘what if’ dark imaginings still happen in the psyche, but nothing ever comes from them.

comment image
.

Stop being scared, and suddenly you no longer need the ‘global counterterrorism conference’ and all the looming rules and regulations they can put into place to protect you, ultimately control you, from the scary imagined stuff that has existed for generations….

Australia used quarantine camps for a fictitious threat. New Zealand set up regional roadblocks for a fictitious threat. The EU made you carry documents to ensure your compliance with a fictitious threat. In the USA, the paint in WalMart was blockaded to protect you from a fictitious threat. You could not stand at a bar to drink, but if you sat down at a table the virus wouldn’t get you. In Canada they shut down the bank accounts of those who did not comply with the rules of the fictitious threat.

Do we realize the same IC people at Dan Bongino’s ‘global security conference‘ are the same IC people who stimulated the threat response noted above?

Do we realize the same industry professionals now control the election outcomes in Brazil, France, Romania, Germany and 2020 USA?

Those who benefit from fear, claim it is a scary world out there. However, be careful about hiring some entity to protect you from it; and ask yourself quiet questions about the rules they show up with.

What exactly is this global security network protecting us from? And why do we need to be protected from it?

Ask Jair Bolsonaro. Ask Marine LePen. Ask Donald Trump. Ask Romania. Ask the AfD party in Germany. As we are witnessing in real time, the western global security network is protecting us from all of these ‘threats.’

Some nervous people say, “trust the plan.” I ask the simple question, “why do we need a plan“?

Think about it.”

We need a plan to get rid of the Western global security network!

One of the classics in this genre is The Anderson Tapes, by Lawrence Sanders, written in 1970.

The conceit at the heart of the book is that various law enforcement and security services have recordings of all the steps of planning and executing the caper (and its aftermath), and these form the book. However, with all the recordings and interceptions, nobody puts it together in advance.

Since 1970, of course, we have traffic cameras, license plate readers, the TSA, warrantless surveillance of cellphones, and all these other trappings…..but still seem unable to fight real crime with it all. Perhaps when we have AI poring through the snippets it can be used to prosecute criminals other than grandmothers and those performing prayer vigils.

So he’s still sniping about Q.

Who in their right mind thinks PDJT and his team don’t have a plan, with multiple subparts, that adjusts as necessary?

So now Bongino is SD’s target. SMH. Here is an X post of Bongino’s

Update:

Headed back to DC today after attending an international counter-terrorism conference.

-Bottom line up front – the threats are growing and metastasizing. The FBI has a number of critical missions, but our top priority is mitigating this deadly scourge, and making sure there’s nowhere to hide if you choose this path. We will use every tool to hunt you down.

-The Director and I are passionate about defending the vulnerable. Operation “Restoring Justice” began this week and the FBI put handcuffs on child sex offenders and 764 subjects in nearly every corner of the country. Your keyboards and your false online personas will NOT protect you if you target our children. We will hunt you down. We will find you.

-We need your help with the persistent cyber threat. I know it’s said over and over but please make sure your technology personnel are keeping critical IT security systems updated. The threat is real, and the damage can be existential for companies without the legal and financial infrastructure to fight back.

-Accountability and reforms are ongoing. In the few months the Director and I have been here, we’ve been busy looking at process, penalties, finances, organizational issues, personnel and more. The process must be done correctly, and efficiently. We are committed to it. Keep watching the results, because I’m not asking you to trust me. Trust is nice, but results are the only end-game.

…to which SD referred with this:

1. When I said Bongino would fail, people were apoplectic. Bongino is showing you why, but you don’t see it.

Not a single person at his “conference” was elected by the people of the nation from which they originate.

Not a single participant is a representative of the citizens. Every participant is an appointed, unelected member of the western global national security system.

… A system that considers themselves totally detached and more powerful than the social network within the nation from which they originate. They are members of the authoritarian club, the omnipotent police state.

Bongino spreads his wings as a proud new member of this global club. They are unelected, but they will protect you from the scary thing, the dark imagining they promote, in order to express their power….

…. And you will cheer for them.

What exactly is this global security network protecting you from? And why do you need to be protected from it?

Ask Jair Bolsonaro. Ask Marine LePen. Ask Donald Trump. Ask Romania. Ask the AfD party in Germany. The western global security network is protecting us from all of these ‘threats.’

Bongino buys into this global IC belief system 100%, and shares how important his protection is.

Think about it….

How does SD know what Bongino thinks, why he was at the conference, and that he “buys into it 100%”? It’s just possible that Bongino was gathering information, forming useful relationships (pro and con), etc.

Bongino’s X post makes one statement about his having attended the conference, and the rest is about the FIB’s goals. Yet SD makes it sound as if Bongino instigated the conference, calling it “his” conference. That is dishonest spin.

I didn’t know SD had said Bongino would fail.

When I said Bongino would fail, people were apoplectic. Bongino is showing you why, but you don’t see it.

It looks to me as if SD is grasping at straws for anything to substantiate his claim that Bongino would fail. So SD’s reporting is slanted.

And he continues to talk down to people, who “don’t see it” and who will “cheer for them” and who need to be told to “think about it.”

Here’s what I’m “thinking about”: Why is SD constantly tearing down people on our side? Why is SD looking like controlled opposition?

As a general matter, the Trump administration might do well to consider promoting a law to hold the country of origin of hackers responsible for damages.

Certainly the FIB can track cyber attacks and hackers to a country of origin.

We can’t police the whole world, but hackers have to operate from somewhere. If they hack into a computer system and exceed some minimum threshold of damage, the United States should hold the country of origin responsible.

As the creators and developers of the Internet, we could even require all 194 other countries in the world to post some kind of bond for this exact purpose.

How the country of origin deals with the hackers operating within their country, to reimburse the country who pays the damages, is up to them. Make it their problem, and they will be incentivized to rectify it.

Something must be done about hackers and cybersecurity in general, and things certainly can be done, if anyone has the will to do it.

Real estate is more-or-less irrelevant to cybersecurity. Yes, if you want to arrest people, you have to find out where they are — but it has always been a thing to have Romanian hackers working from Athens cybercafes popping up in VPNs in Brazil selling Warez from Iran.

“Real estate is more-or-less irrelevant to cybersecurity. Yes, if you want to arrest people, you have to find out where they are — but it has always been a thing to have Romanian hackers working from Athens cybercafes popping up in VPNs in Brazil selling Warez from Iran.”

So you require every nation who wants access to the Internet to post a $20 million bond. Or $200 million. Or base it on population size initially, and then implement something similar to a credit scoring system, where countries most likely to (or based on prior conduct already do) host hackers, those countries pay a higher bond amount, and countries with less or no history of hackers pay a lower bond amount.

This rewards countries who take cybercrime seriously, and punishes those who don’t, incentivizing them to do better.

So if Romanian hackers working from an Athens cybercafe cause $10 million in damage or stolen money or stolen Bitcoin or whatever, from an American individual or an American company, the nation of Greece forfeits that amount of their national Internet Access bond.

Then it’s up to Greece to crack down on the hackers and recover whatever they can from the stolen proceeds, to reimburse themselves for what they forfeited in their Bond.

U.S. intelligence can help them out by pinpointing the location (VPN notwithstanding) of the cafe where the hackers operated from. The Greeks can crack down on the cafe too, if the cafe has a history of catering to hackers.

If Romanians are known for being hackers, Greece can refuse VISA entry documents or Romanian passports, until Romania cleans up its own act. If enough other countries do the same, Romania will clean up its act.

America holds the country of origin accountable, and the country of origin’s bond makes the U.S. hacking victim(s) whole.

The country of origin’s intelligence and/or police hold the hackers accountable, and anyone who aids, abets or facilitates the criminal activity. So if the hackers are working for someone else, the hackers can give them up in exchange for leniency, and the police move on up the ladder to whoever is behind the hackers.

Everyone is incentivized to prevent cybercrimes from happening.

Everyone (even, in some cases, the hackers themselves) holds the next responsible party in line accountable.

Whoever is unable to hold the next party in line accountable is left holding the bag (or doing the prison time), so everyone is strongly incentivized to keep tracking down the next party in line, until whoever is ultimately responsible has made restitution and is in prison.

IMHO, this is exactly the opposite take on how nations should combat cybersecurity.

The problem is that any reasonably clever individual can become a threat, and manifest anywhere. It’s similar to guarding against zoonotic diseases by attempting to regulate nature.

Rather than attempting to shoehorn accountability into nation-states, it is a better use of time to focus on local system security. If someone catches a disease from a bat, the solution is not to eliminate bats — it’s to treat the person for the disease. If someone gets a “cozy bear” malware from the internet, it’s a better use of time and energy to harden and clean systems than it is to figure out whether “cozy bear” is Russian, Kazakh pretending to be Russian, Chinese pretending to be Kazakh, or Romanians pretending to be Greeks — or some teenaged script-kiddie in his mom’s basement in Ohio.

AND logic.

There has to be punishment and accountability.

You can’t just play defense and give the other team the ball for infinity.

Wolf Moon

Agreed. AND logic. So much is state-supported. The Trump doctrine of assigned responsibility must be in full play, to reduce state support. Make it painful for China. When in doubt, hit China or Iran. Not with “forever wars” – but with “economic consequences” – because in the end, what gives them the angry bleeding eyes is losing the money.

I don’t know, but I suspect he is extrapolating from his own assessments.

He has come to his own conclusions about the various problems (e.g., the IC ‘silos’), and based on his own understanding of the problem, he can surmise whether current actions are actually addressing the problem as he sees it, or not.

If they are not addressing the problem in some concrete and direct way, then naturally SD would conclude that they will fail.

Of course it is possible that the administration is directly addressing the problem in some super secret way, but then we’re down the ‘just trust me’ rabbit hole.

Similar to the Bondi situation.

There are concrete, publicly visible things people do when they crack down on something. We see it clearly when the D-rats are in power.

There are not endless years of meticulous fact-gathering, spanning multiple administrations, while the gears of justice grind slowly to a halt.

Things happen fast, with a hammer blow.

SWAT breaks into Roger Stone’s house in the middle of the night, with CNN on scene to record it all.

DJT’s home at Mar-a-Lago is swarmed by FIB with orders to shoot to kill, while the property is ransacked.

We all know how the enemy operates.

So when the good guys miraculously get into power (there was a great chance they never would again, and we would be existing in a thousand years of darkness), we don’t do what is necessary to win — we go back to Marquess of Queensbury rules, and most normal people are sick of it.

Don’t GAF about dotting ‘i’s or crossing ‘t’s. Arrest them all, and that includes the judiciary and congress if necessary.

Bring ORDER. Stop the WAR on America, and figure out the trials afterwards.

Because if they don’t, if they keep *&^%ing around with this beast, and they blow it, we’re all dead — and so is the last flicker of freedom on planet earth.

It’s very simple:
If we don’t see the exact results that we desire, right now, then that means they are doing nothing or they are compromised or they are incompetent, or fill in the blank.

None of that addresses the specific statements SD made about Bongino. That SD, like so many, is not seeing the results he wants, when he wants, is not an excuse for piling on someone without facts. And I do not think SD has insider information about Bongino.

We haven’t seen any results in nearly TEN YEARS.

The war against Trump began immediately in 2016.

Q began in October 2017.

It’s nearly mid-2025, more than seven years after Q started posting and laying out most of the problems.

Not one single arrest or prosecution of anyone meaningful.

That is a FAILURE at managing public relations.

You have to give the People reason to believe things are actually happening, and the only way to do that is by action.

Excuses, promises and hopium are explicitly not action.

I believe, and have thought this for a very long time, that this subject falls very much along the male / female divide.

Most women do not seem to understand this subject the same way men do.

Some women will make excuses until the end of time for the white knights to tie everything up into a neat, perfect little bow.

Most men don’t, because men live in a world where if you don’t perform, you die.

There is no safety net, and no second chances.

TheseTruths

This is about why SD is focusing on Bongino right now for no good reason that I can see.

kalbokalbs

Agree.

Superficial thought.

SD beats on, unelected… As IF elected will protect us. (OK, stop laughing)

SD own words…

  • Ask Jair Bolsonaro. Ask Marine LePen. Ask Donald Trump. Ask Romania. Ask the AfD party in Germany.

Did elected protect these guys and gal?

SD silos elected, unelected, misses the problem.

Problem is the corrupt, greedy, morally bankrupt, blackmailed, those not supporting their Oath and obligations…
