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.”


JOY

Psalm 100

Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth.
Serve the Lord with gladness; come into His presence with singing.
Know that the Lord is God. It is He who made us, and we are His;
we are His people and the sheep of His pasture.
Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise.
Give thanks to Him; bless His name.
For the Lord is good;
His steadfast love endures forever and
His faithfulness to all generations.


Psalm 100 issues three commands in the first two verses.

Shout joyfully to the LORD (100:1). This is quite a beginning! The term “joyfully” doesn’t appear in the Hebrew. Literally rendered, it’s “Shout to the Lord!” The word “shout” comes from a Hebrew word meaning “to raise a noise, to give a blast (as on a trumpet).” This calls for the kind of shouting that erupts from a person so full of joy he can’t contain his emotions, the kind of uninhibited whooping you hear from fans at a football game. He says, in effect, “Shout in joyful approval of God!”

When’s the last time, if ever, we shouted like sports fans because of something we read in Scripture? Have we ever pumped our fists and shouted after a sermon on God’s attributes? This is not a suggestion that we become overly expressive; but certainly we should feel some excitement, at least a little joy, perhaps a lot of joy, and even maybe some unbounded joy.

Sometimes the Lord does things that defy natural explanation, accomplishing something completely beyond our capabilities. When He comes to our rescue, we shouldn’t accept this silently. Shout to Him. Lift up our voices in praise!

Serve the LORD with gladness (100:2). A healthy sign of the grateful life is serving. Few actions are more effective in creating joy than serving others. In doing God’s work, we serve Him, not the local church, not the superintendent of some department, not the pastor or some board. We serve the Lord. It is He we worship and for Him we labor—not people! And please observe that we are urged to serve “with gladness.” The Hebrew term for this phrase was used to describe pleasant things that gave happiness.

This psalm doesn’t imply we should serve only when our hearts are filled with joy. On the contrary, we are commanded to serve regardless; gladness will soon follow. In fact, when we start feeling sorry for ourselves or our attitude takes a cynical turn, it’s time to serve someone who’s in worse shape. It’s not long before gladness pushes joy into our hearts.

Come before Him with joyful singing (100:2). God prefers to have us be happy people, rejoicing in His presence. Are we joyful? Are our faces pleasant—is a smile frequently there? Do your eyes reveal a joyful spirit within? When we sing in church, is it with joy?

It’s time to lighten up! After all, joy is a choice. We should be saturating our lives with a genuine spirit of joy! It does the heart good and it’s truly contagious.

JOY IN BELIEVING
You love Him [Jesus] even though you have never seen Him. Though you do not see Him, you trust Him; and even now you are happy with a glorious, inexpressible joy. Your reward for trusting Him will be the salvation of your souls. (I Peter 1:8 & 9)

JOY IN HEARING
I [Jesus] say these things while I am still in the world, so that they may have the full measure of my joy within them. (John 17:13)

JOY IN OBEYING
You know these things – now do them! That is the path of blessing. (John 13:17)

JOY IN ABIDING
I [Jesus] have told you this so that you will be filled with my joy. Yes, your joy will overflow! (John 15:11)

“Taps a delta with 4 booms”? I thought deltas were all about dates and that they occur when something happens on the same date as a Q drop. This Q drop is from March 5, 2018.

I guess according to someone the Q Flag was posted on X at 8:44 and this is Q post #844 .

TheseTruths

Oh, I see. In what time zone? The part of the time that I can see under the flag in that X post starts with a 7.

Gudthots

Yes, as the one posting wrote, Trump posted at 8:44p Eastern, but his screenshot was from Central time.

Agreed.

IMO that was the point of Q doing it the way it was.

And this one was particularly weak. Just wait for a time to a Q post to point back too and post it then so everyone runs back to check that post.

Thank you bakocarl for this lesson in Joy.

The Islamists coming out of sleeper cells would be more likely to use bombs and suicide bombers than guns. Their usual MO in the middle east is to use two bombs, one to make casualties and another to kill the first responders.

What is scary is that our leftists would be willing to facilitate assaults – by Iranians and other Islamists – for political purposes.

I brought this interview of Musk (with an audience of young a.i. entreprenuer-wannabes) the day before yesterday.

I believe that we need to understand what these shapers of the future are thinking. Please consider watching (you can skip the early history part at the beginning if you like).

__

my first comment:

Musk’s thinking on a.i. safety includes:

built in empathy for humansa rigorous adherence to truth
my second comment:

The part where humans will be completely outpaced by super intelligent a.i. by next year is a bit off putting. (He does define it in a specific way.)The huge missing piece to his view of the universe is the spirituality of mankind.
Wolf’s reply:

“Outpaced” depends on the meaning of “outpaced”. I’m not worried.He may not really feel like talking to a largely irreligious if not agnostic/atheist crowd about anything remotely spiritual.
__

When he is asked to make suggestions to these young engineers, he does give some reasonable guidance including a focus on work ethic, not chasing the gold ring.

After hearing his vision for a world filled with man/machine partnerships and super human a.i., the need for truly good and moral people stands out to me like a comet in the night sky.

His vision of the future is very likely to be a future where humans will be looking for authentic and organic connection with people that are truly walking in the love of God. If Christians have prepared their hearts, grown their love, practiced their humility, then–and only then–will we be ready to step up and lead hungry souls out of their hollow existence and into the joy of salvation.

Happy to see you brought this again. A very important interview!

Gudthots

I can’t figure out what the formatting of the bullet lists keeps getting mangled. I edited to fix it (maybe 2 times), but it’s gone back to mashing up the points again. 😖

TheseTruths

I don’t know if this applies in this case, but whenever I post a bullet list that will be quoted, I have to manually place my own bullets for them to show properly. Otherwise, the bullets will not show and the list doesn’t stand out like it did in the original version.

Gudthots

Thanks. I have had that problem too, but this is not in a quote. It may be a bug in the code that renders the X.com post. I dunno.

kalbokalbs

Perhaps this fits.

My posts with bullets, usually show correctly.

Then, if I edit, many times WP goons it up. Removing bullets. Totally screwing up formatting.

Random.

Gudthots

Okay.
My experience fits that scenario.

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

I had possibly-similar issues with my lists of geographic periods. They looked great in the post editor, but had huge amounts of white space when published. I had to go back and individually adjust the white space for each line.

When I copied that part a couple of weeks later it ballooned again, and I had to do all that crap over again.

GA/FL

Is Elon Musk that spiritual and mature a Christian? I saw the interview when Babylon Bee authors invited him to be ‘saved’ and Musk agreed, saying he needed saving. Has Musk surrendered to Christ and His Word and been discipled? I have read that he’s still using drugs and still making babies here and there.

Don’t give me that stuff about not judging – we have to discern truth in order not to be deceived.

There’s a difference between judgement and discernment that is often missed, I think.

Judgement implies punishment for wrong actions. And that is not our place, spiritually speaking. Discernment implies understanding right from wrong, and acting accordingly.

One is ours; discernment. The other belongs to God.

pgroup2

Judgment.  😍 

Aubergine

Google AI says:

Both “judgment” and “judgement” are correct spellings, but “judgment” is more common in American English, while “judgement” is more common in British English. In legal contexts, “judgment” is the preferred spelling, even in British English.

I was feeling my British ancestry today, I guess!

Gudthots

I always find myself writing it with the “e” and then second guessing which is correct. Now I know they both are. Thanks!

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

You won’t get the red or green underline with either.

I use the “e” just to be a Peste.

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

TheseTruths

Judgment also has to do with our understanding about actions. We are not personally to mete out punishment, nor are we to condemn others, but we can judge their actions as being right or wrong. This can be done with mercy and not condemnation.

This is separate from judging motives, which I see happen often, including here.

It isn’t good for someone to be engaging in illicit drug use (not talking about Elon; I don’t know his situation). We can say that because it is true. Taking that to the next step and judging what is in a person’s heart is where we get into trouble. For example, we can say that a person’s drug use is wrong, but we can’t use that to decide what their relationship is with God.

Gudthots

As far as I know, Elon has not claimed to be a Christian.

He certainly is known to try neurohacks, but I believe it’s very possible that the rumor about him using drugs in a recreational way during his time at the WH, was a lie to smear his reputation.

Don’t forget, the WH doctor is known to be allowed to hand out uppers to admin staff when they are working around the clock on national security issues, etc.

From what I’ve seen, Elon comes across as genuinely seeking the highest truth. And that gives him more humility than you see in a lot of the startup types.

May he encounter He who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life and choose to follow Him.

Gudthots

Musk does not claim to be a Christian.
This interview was not about spirituality.

However, as a Christian myself, the future he foresees based on his understanding of where the technology is going (transhumanism, a.i., etc.) there are many spiritual implications for all of humanity.

My prayer is that I can grow into the fullness of my calling in Christ so that I can serve the Lord in what ever future we enter.

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

An interview with Babylon Bee?

Are you sure it was even a real interview?

Gudthots

The BB platform has a real news site called “Not the Bee” IIRC.

Wolf Moon

I found this on Wikipedia.

Musk was raised in the Anglican Church, in which he was baptized.[27][28]

I don’t know if he’s a practicing Buddhist, but he seems to have a lot of knowledge of Buddhism.

AOC, furious Dems call for Trump to be impeached over Iran strikes

Progressive Squad Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and a chorus of Democrats called on President Trump to be impeached after he decided to bomb top nuclear facilities of Iran — blasting the move as “unconstitutional.”

“The President’s disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers,” Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) declared not long after Trump announced the attack.

“He has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations. It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.”

…Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) simply declared: “This is not Constitutional.” in response to the bombings. Getty Images

Top Intel Committee Democrat Jim Himes (D-Conn.) similarly accused Trump of exceeding his presidential authorities with the strikes and griped that he was not given advance notice of the attacks.

“According to the Constitution, we are both sworn to defend, my attention to this matter comes BEFORE bombs fall. Full stop,” Himes fumed on X.

  :wpds_arrow: Himes is a member of the so-called Gang of Eight, a group of eight lawmakers, including the majority and minority parties’ leaders and top members of the intelligence committees in both chambers of Congress. 

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) and other top Republicans had been given advance notice of the strikes, a source familiar confirmed to The Post. 

Meanwhile, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) said the president needs to explain to the American people “why this military action was undertaken.”

Earth to Hakeem: we already know, and so do you. 🙄

…However, despite the constitutional concerns critics have raised, legal scholar Jonathan Turley stressed that other presidents have engaged in similar strikes abroad.

“These members would have to argue that it is a high crime and misdemeanor under Section 4 of Article Two of the United States Constitution,” Turley wrote on X, referring to congressional critics of Trump.

“However, prior presidents have used the same authority in launching major attacks on foreign nations.”

Some in Congress praised Trump:

“As I’ve long maintained, this was the correct move by,” Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) cheered. “Iran is the world’s leading sponsor of terrorism and cannot have nuclear capabilities. I’m grateful for and salute the finest military in the world.”

“Good. This was the right call. The regime deserves it. Well done,” Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said. “To my fellow citizens: We have the best Air Force in the world. It makes me so proud. Fly, Fight, Win.”

…New York Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) also called it the “right decision.”

“Like when President Obama struck Libya, Syria, Pakistan, and Yemen — he did so under the terms of the 2001 and 2002 AUMF [Authorization for Use of Military Force].”

“War has not been declared, however, a Nuclear Iran has been prevented. I fully support the President’s decision.”

TV Networks Face Advertising Apocalypse After Trump Admin Mulls Pharma Restrictions

Last week independent Senators Bernie Sanders (VT) and Angus King (ME) introduced legislation that would ban pharmaceutical companies from promoting prescription drugs directly to consumers – including through television, radio, print, digital platforms, and social media. 

Today, Bloomberg reports that the Trump administration is now ‘discussing policies that would make it harder and more expensive for pharmaceutical companies to advertise directly to patients.’

“Although the US is the only place, besides New Zealand, where pharma companies can directly advertise,banning pharma ads outright could make the administration vulnerable to lawsuits, so it’s instead focusing on cutting down on the practice by adding legal and financial hurdles, according to people familiar with the plans who weren’t authorized to speak publicly on the matter.

“The two policies the administration has focused in on would be to require greater disclosures of side effects of a drug within each ad — likely making broadcast ads much longer and prohibitively expensive — or removing the industry’s ability to deduct direct-to-consumer advertising as a business expense for tax purposes, these people said.”

I think the administration would also be sued for these hurdles. It would probably have to play out in the courts.

If this happens, it would mark a major victory for Health and Human Services Secretary RFK Jr., who says he believes Americans consume more drugs than people in other countries due to the ability of US drug companies to directly advertise to consumers…

Drug ads made up 24.4 percent of all advertising minutes on evening news broadcasts across major networks — including ABC, CBS, CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, and NBC — through May of this year, according iSpot. On CBS Evening News, pharmaceutical companies appeared in more than 70 percent of commercial breaks, per Kantar Media.

Wolf Moon

The most important point is that these ads are BRIBERY to the media, to not report things that Big Pharma doesn’t like. They influence the media, and in particular serve as inhibitors of investigative journalism.

TheseTruths

Yes, apart from the message about drugs to the public, the influence over the media is Yuge.

Aubergine

EXACTLY.

They are payoffs, not advertising. The ads are the cover.

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

The key?

The ads are useless as advertising. They often won’t tell you what the damned med is for. How can the viewer tell the ad is relevant? OK here’s a family happily at play in the playground? What, is it a fertility drug?

WSB

Yes.

TradeBait2

Boom! 100% correct. 👍👍

GA/FL

Then there’s Big Pharma’s lobbying/paying politicians and regulatory health agencies – NIH and FDA and CDC, not to mention WHO.

WSB

Indeed. I also remember facing a new condition after a flu shot in 2019, and then I saw commercials for medicines to correct the condition.

Hmmm.

Wolf Moon

Wow.

WSB

Wolf, to some, this may be important. I had a flu shot in the fall of 2019.

That winter, my head started to develop conditions of psoriasis. My head started to ‘seize’ up on me. It felt weird. I do not know how else to describe it.

My caucasian background always created a slight issue with skin conditions, but after fall 2019, I started to have problems and also started to see commercials for psoriasis.

I am now on two different topical prescriptions for skin conditions and low dose anti-biotics.I have never needed them before, and I see the commercials every day for all sorts of other treatments for psoriasis.

Why? All happened in the last few years.

Wolf Moon

I believe that flu shots – depending almost randomly on the specific shot – can create “inappropriate antibodies” that attack nerve cells, connective tissue, regions of the brain, skin, etc.

Here is an example.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pandemrix#Narcolepsy

One of the most amazing Rush videos out there isn’t Rush…..it’s

That’s the drummer for Mars Volta improvising a drum part to Limelight without having heard it before.

One of the things that I found amazing was how much Geddy and Alex were playing around the space of Neil, so that Philo plays a lot of the things that Neil did to fill the space properly.

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

A comment I saw recently was, “if Geddy isn’t singing, all three of them are soloing.”

That’s actually true of The Who. Worthwhile video here —

Kind of hard to add eight points when you’ve absolutely got to be AT THE ABSOLUTE VERY LEAST a 6 to start with.

Then we are talking!

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

I was pretty much notorious at the range for walking out of there with an empty box of ammo and one big ragged hole in the target.

I saved mine. Only needed 7 shots.

It could be that Big Pharma knew what they were targeting, and they created the next seasonal ‘cures’?

How was there a psoriasis cure the next year?

Wolf Moon

Big pharma is always and continuously working on everything! It’s what they move forward that is the “fast reaction”. That, and one of their classic moves is to always “cover” an emerging side effect with a new cure!

The Vigilant Fox brings “blow by blow” of interviews and I find them helpful (text works better for me).

The Vigilant Fox 🦊
@VigilantFox
20h
Bill Maher just got steamrolled on his own show.

For years, he’s called January 6 an “insurrection” without pushback. But not this time.

Rep. @WesleyHuntTX came locked and loaded.

Maher called Trump’s military parade “vaguely fascist.” What happened next was glorious.

Hunt unleashed his military pride and made Maher eat his own words.

By the end, Maher had no choice but to back down… and thank Hunt for his service.

It’s one of those moments you’ll want to watch again and again.

I was just looking at this and trying to figure out how to bring the whole interview here. It is a beatdown for the ages and very satisfying to see.

Here is the rest from another tweet:

On Friday night, Rep. Hunt appeared on Real Time with Bill Maher—and delivered a knockout moment.

Maher said, “Do I think it was a good idea to have a parade? No, but if you’re going to have a vaguely fascist parade, do it right.”

“You know what I saw?” Hunt responded. “I saw the President salute the Corps of Cadets as they walked past him. I watched him salute the 75th Ranger Regiment as they walked past him. I sat there and watched the fireworks behind the Washington Monument. And you know what I thought? ‘Damn. That’s absolutely outstanding.’ And it’s far better than Joe Biden checking his watch when bodies were being returned to Dover.”

Liberal guest Paul Begal tried to interrupt: “Okay, wait a minute.”

But Hunt pushed through. “Hold on,” he continued. “This is a contrast that we were talking about on why you lost, because we are talking about a man who’s talking about patriotism. And in parades like that, when I was growing up, I served because I used to go to these parades and watch my dad participate in them.”

“I saw the Blackhawks landing. I visited my sister at West Point. I said, ‘By God, I want to serve this country, too.’ And so the dichotomy of what we’re seeing with President Trump and his patriotism—saluting the flag, actually making an effort—whether you like it or agree with the execution, the effort is there. That’s all we want to see.”

Maher had no reasonable comeback. He was forced to retreat and ended up thanking Hunt for his service.

Trust me, you’ll want to see this moment for yourself.

Economic Suicide for Iran and big hurt for China if true. Not a small thing as it effects most mideast oil. Also doesn’t recall Iran taking this extreme measure before..

Truthfully if all this is true, still doesn’t think Iran would keep it closed for long as they are starved for cash right now, not to mention that China is going to want it’s oil. Also no confirmation on this right now.

Ooops… what’s this… Potential missile strikes on U.S. Navy ships and closure of Strait of Hormuz.

Even if we can, oil is fungible and a worldwide shortage will drive our prices up…otherwise it becomes profitable to sell it elsewhere for more money.

I think Iran is going to be selective in letting oil out that serves them. Example theirs’s and anyone else selling to BRICs.

If it’s a full shut down of the Straight I don’t know how you stop them. Their Navy as being touted would likely be easy though they have underground bases along the shore to hide their fast attack craft that might make it harder. The bigger worry I’d think would be the 1,300 plus miles of shore line. They should be able to stand off from the shore by a large distance of 20 to 100 miles and lay havoc to anything they wish. Dislodging that would require troops on the ground.

This is why we’ll likely pursue regime change despite saying we won’t. However of Iran’s 86 million many who were bending toward regime change are bending back now as they rally around their supreme leader who has just announced 3 successors in the likely event he get’s Israeled. This is sticky and has the added potential to effect MAGA in the midterms. A lot of MAGA were anti Necon and lot of people are going to see it as a Necon move whether it was or not.

Best bet might be to entice China to put pressure on Iran to keep it open. That might even entail China resuming most favored nation trade status. We’ll see. Repercussions from yesterday’s strike will likely be seen in the days, weeks, months and years ahead. The most hurtful one will be nations will be more deceitful.

Statement by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic of #Iran concerning the #UnitedStates military aggression against Iran’s peaceful nuclear facilities بسم الله الرحمن الرحیم The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic of Iran condemns in the strongest possible terms, the United States’ brutal military aggression against Iran’s peaceful nuclear facilities—a grave and unprecedented violation of the fundamental principles of the Charter of the United Nations and the international law. The war-mongering and lawless regime of the United States of America is held fully responsible for the dangerous consequences and far-reaching implications of this egregious act of aggression and heinous crime. The U.S. military aggression against the territorial integrity and national sovereignty of a UN member state—carried out in collusion with the genocidal Israeli regime—once again laid bare the depth of depravity that governs American foreign policy and revealed the extent of hostility harbored by the U.S. ruling establishment against the peace-seeking and independence-loving people of Iran. The Islamic Republic of Iran is resolved to defend Iran’s territory, sovereignty, security and people by all force and means against the United States’ criminal aggression. The U.S. unlawful attack on Iran’s peaceful nuclear facilities, which occurred in the early hours of the 10th day of Israel’s military aggression against Iran, has unequivocally exposed Washington’s criminal complicity with the Zionist regime in orchestrating and waging a war against Iran. This act of aggression, perpetrated by a permanent member of the Security Council, against Iran’s peaceful nuclear facilities constitutes not only a flagrant breach of the UN Charter—especially the prohibition of the use of force under Article 2(4) and the obligation to respect states’ territorial integrity and sovereignty—but also a violation of the UN Security Council Resolution 2231 and a devastating blow to the global non-proliferation regime. Silence in the face of such blatant aggression would plunge the world into an unprecedented level of danger and chaos.

As a founding member of the United Nations, the Islamic Republic of Iran calls on the Organization and its responsible member states to fulfill their responsibilities in the face of the United States’ blatant unlawful unilateral acts against Iran. We urge the UN Security Council to convene an emergency session to unequivocally condemn this criminal act of aggression by the United States against Iran and to hold the United States accountable for its egregious violation of the fundamental principles of United Nations Charter and of the norms of international law. The responsibility of the IAEA and its Director General—who, through evident bias in favor of warmongering parties, paved the way for this recent catastrophe—is now clearer than ever. We call on the IAEA Board of Governors to immediately convene and carry out its legal responsibility in response to this dangerous U.S. attack on Iran’s peaceful nuclear facilities, all of which have been under the Agency’s full safeguards and monitoring. The world must not forget that it was the United States that, in the midst of a diplomatic process, betrayed diplomacy by supporting the genocidal and lawbreaking Israeli regime to impose a war of aggression on the Iranian nation. Now, in completion of that regime’s unlawful and criminal acts, the United States itself has launched a dangerous war against the Islamic Republic of Iran. It has now become abundantly clear to all that the very regime which enjoys permanent membership in the Security Council is beholden to no principle or morality and will stop at no illegality or crime to serve the aims of a genocidal, occupying regime.

Full Statement From Dmitry Medvedev: What Did the U.S. Achieve with Its Overnight Strikes on Three Targets in Iran?
1. Iran’s critical nuclear infrastructure appears largely intact or only slightly damaged.

2. Uranium enrichment — and now openly, future nuclear weapons production — will continue.

3. Several countries are reportedly willing to supply Iran with nuclear warheads directly.

4. Israel is under fire; explosions are rocking cities and panic is spreading.

5. The U.S. is now entangled in a new conflict, with the possibility of a ground war looming.

6. Iran’s political system remains stable — if anything, it may have emerged stronger.

7. Public support has rallied around Iran’s religious leadership, even from previous critics.

8. Trump, who came into office branding himself a peace president, has now launched another war.

9. Most of the world opposes the actions of Israel and the United States.

10. With results like these, Trump can forget about a Nobel Peace Prize — even a corrupt committee wouldn’t go that far. Quite the start, Mr. President.

“3. Several countries are reportedly willing to supply Iran with nuclear warheads directly.” – WHICH COUNTRIES?

para59r

Well, China wants their oil and they’ve just been undercut, so that’s one. Pakistan has already been targeted as being next on Israel’s hit list, so that’s two. Other than that I’m stumped.

North Korea [pretty likely IMO]
India [it would never let Pakistan be first in anything]
USDS [United States Deep State]

Plus, Alex Jones says Iran already has nukes.

  :wpds_sad: 

para59r

I’m not convinced NK has one. Nor Iran. If Iran did have one, they were a.) foolish to not test fire one in the open to let people know they had the capability and b.) it would disarm arguments about being able to be trusted with a nuke since they haven’t used one. Counter argument is they are just following Israel’s doctrine of not admitting to nukes but I still don’t understand how that serves them. Case in point would be if they had demonstrated that they do, would we have just attacked?

Personal update – prayer request….

We are going to finish cleaning out Sally’s apartment this week. I’m praying about where to live, what the Lord would have me do- when life settles back down after all the caregiving and hauling back and forth for so many years – whether to move here to the Village or stay in my house in town. Oh man….

i will definitely send up prayers for you GA!
after spending so much time cleaning out Sally’s apartment, do you really want to do it all over and clean out your home right now?
i think (and it’s just my opinion, I’m not a therapist and i didn’t stay at a Holiday Inn last night either) maybe you need to nurture YOU for a bit. you’ve given a great deal in the last years to others–maybe rediscover things that make YOU happy or you enjoy. it’s time to be self indulgent for a bit before making large decisions. jmo.

I had a friend who lost her husband about a year ago now. He was sick for a long time. It has been enlightening to watch her recovery. She is a different person now than she was when he was alive. Like the weight of the world has rolled off her back.

Please give yourself all the time you can to make big decisions. A year ago, all my friend could think was that she wanted to sell her house and move away. Now, she has no intentions of moving. It was her grief speaking then. I’m glad she took it slowly, and didn’t make the wrong choice for herself.

I will pray for you.

patfrederick

very good advice!

GA/FL

TYVVVVM!!!

TheseTruths

Just a thought, which I understand might not apply to you, but I will state it in case it could be useful.

You are so used to a somewhat chaotic lifestyle that it might be hard to settle down and face the changes and the memories. By moving again right now, you would continue in the chaos and stress, which might feel more comfortable than the solitude and quiet of life after losing your daughter.

In other words, a big move might feel more “normal” to you than allowing your life to calm down, which could be difficult. It might be better to face that settling down now rather than later and allow the grieving process to take its natural course.

May God bless you in your decisions.

That’s a good point. I’ve heard it said that you shouldn’t make large decisions until at least a year into major grief.

TradeBait2

Unless there are pressing financial reasons to do so, you may want to consider decompressing for a time. We all need a healing period after facing these events in life, especially primary caregivers such as yourself.

Going to the Lord as you have is always the right thing to do. He will lead you and it will become clear. 🙏 for you.

GA/FL

EXCELLENT ADVICE – I’m pretty numb and still hurting/grieving. Copied and kept.

TradeBait2

As you have probably already experienced, there will be “ambushes” of emotions and grief in your new normal. They will come like waves in the ocean hitting the shore and then recede. It’s OK, go with it, sort of like a riptide until you are ready move to the side out of its pull. Over time these events are replaced with understanding, good memories, and peace the Lord provides as you heal.

You have been in intense service mode for so long, it is a hit on you physically and in your soul. It is usually best to rest in His arms for a time before making major moves.

WSB

GA/FL, just take time to find yourself. I am still attempting to navigate.

Thank you for the update! I replied to your post over at Marica’s blog.
The most important thing now, IMO, is that you allow yourself time to heal and let life settle back down before making any big decision (like moving.)
Unless there’s some absolute pressing necessity to do otherwise, please allow that time.

No one mentions GMO contamination.

Is Bread Making You Sick? : Hidden GMOs

Genetic Modification & New Allergens

In the 1990s, scientists tried to create a healthier soybean by inserting a gene from a brazil nut into it. For those of you highly or even deathly allergic to nuts – this kind of thing happening should alarm you especially since about 94% of soybeans are currently genetically modified according to GMOInside.org. Thankfully, these soybeans were tested on people who were sensitive to brazil nuts and those tests showed reactions to the soybeans which means that that specific GM soybean was never put on the market….

There is still research being done on the safety of genetically modified foods – which to us is INSANE since according to The Non-GMO Project 80% of processed foods in North American contain GMOs. That is a staggering percentage and it certainly should give us pause, especially when making our way through a grocery store.

What Are Common GMO Ingredients in Bread?

Switching gears here, let’s talk about common GMO ingredients you will find in a loaf of bread. One of the major GMO players is soy – as in soy flour, soy lecithin, and soybean oil. Soy lecithin is used for its ability to make bread dough easy to work with by making it less sticky. Soy flour has a bleaching affect on dough and it adds softness and volume to mass produced breads. And Soybean oil is used to extend shelf life, add flavor and make bread softer.  Another GMO ingredient to look out for in bread is cornstarch which is sometimes used for its thickening ability and as a component for bleaching flour.

You should also watch out for corn oil, vegetable oil, cottonseed oil, dextrose and high fructose corn syrup as they are likely to be genetically modified. And even trickier are enzymes commonly added to dough to make processing easier or to help create a good crust. Many of them are made with the help of genetically modified microorganisms – not that you can find this anywhere on a label….

2015: How widespread are GM foods?

More than 93 percent of the corn and soy planted in the United States is genetically modified in some way. Most of that ends up as animal feed, ethanol, or corn syrup — and corn syrup gets into lots of foods. Cotton, sugar beets, and canola are also common genetically modified crops. Roughly 60 to 70 percent of processed foods in grocery stores contain at least some genetically modified ingredients...

ChiefIO did a good article on Bromine in bread several years ago.

BromineIodine, Prostate and Breast Cancer | Musings from The Chiefio…

Bromine and iodine are absorbed in similar fashion and animal research has found that bromine exposure limits availability of iodine to the thyroid …

The “short form” is that it looks just like other cases of two elements in the periodic table, one above the other, with competition between the elements having one be toxic and the other essential. Except where the metals tended to having the heavier one be the toxic one, for halogens, it looks like the heaviest of the set it essential and the one lighter is the toxic. (Though there is another set repeat just above them, with Chlorine being essential and Fluorine being toxic.) Essentially, the metabolic process isn’t quite right with the lighter halogen, but the metabolic machinery isn’t able to 100% keep it out of the works; depending on low levels of intake to keep things right.

Then we come along and load up several foods with bromine, make thousands of tons of it that are added to clothes and bedding, and more in plastics all over the place; while taking iodine out of things. Then marvel that things are not working quite right. Sigh.

The “bottom line” (up here near the top…) is that we need about 25 times our present iodine intake here in the USA to have low cancer rates (as the Japanese comparison shows) but instead are getting higher than normal loads of bromine, that competes with our already low iodine levels and causes functional deficit, even when clinically acceptable (if minimal) levels exist. We need to get the Bromine out, and increase our Iodine status….

Inflammation associated with common conditions

The inflammatory cytokines IL-1, Il-6, C-reactive protein (CRP), and TNF-alpha will significantly decrease D1 activity and reduce tissue T3 levels (105-113). Any person with an inflammatory condition — including physical or emotional stress (243-248), obesity (248-252), diabetes (248,249,253), depression (254-257), menopause (surgical or natural) (258), heart disease (248,259,260), autoimmune disease (lupus, Hashimoto’s, multiple sclerosis, arthritis, etc) (114,115,164,265), injury (266), chronic infection (261,262) or cancer (267-269) — will have a decreased T4 to T3 conversion in the body and a relative tissue hypothyroidism.

The inflammatory cytokines will, however, increase the activity of D2 and suppress the TSH despite reduced peripheral T3 levels; again, making a normal TSH an unreliable indicator of normal tissue thyroid levels (105-113)

There is a direct inverse correlation between CRP and reduced tissue T3 (112,270), so individuals with elevated CRP (greater than 3 mg/l) or other inflammatory cytokines will have a significant reduction in cellular T3 levels. The suppression of intracellular T3 levels correlates with the degree of elevation of CRP, despite serum thyroid tests being “normal” (112,270). Thus, if any inflammation is present, which is found in numerous clinical and subclinical conditions (as above), the body will have lower cellular T3 levels that are often inadequate for optimal functioning; but the pituitary will have increased levels of T3, resulting in a lowering of the TSH that would potentially be inappropriately interpreted as an indication of “normal” thyroid levels.

Thus, any person with an inflammatory condition will have diminished tissue levels of T3 potentially severe enough to cause symptoms, but these symptoms will not be detected by standard thyroid testing. Additionally, due to the reduced T4 to T3 conversion induced by the inflammation in these conditions, effective treatment must include T3 (combination or, ideally, timed-released T3). Also, due to the inflammatory suppression of TSH, not only is a normal TSH necessarily an indication of euthyroidism (normal thyroid), but also a suppressed TSH is not necessarily an indication of excessive thyroid with treatment. Rather, free T3 and reverse T3 levels along with clinical parameters should be used to determine optimal replacement doses of thyroid.

Additionally, inflammation will stimulate D3, producing more reverse T3, further causing cellular hypothyroidism not detected by TSH testing by suppressing intracellular T4 to T3 conversion and blocking the T3 receptor inside the cell (271).

From above article

Also you can have normal TSH T4 and T3 and still be hypothyroid, because T4 could be converting into inactive RT3

Days of Praise Devotion – 6/22/25 – part of a series on the Hymn – Higher Ground – https://www.icr.org/article/higher-ground/

“Forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 3:13-14)

Over the years, Christians have used many hymns to enhance the study of Scripture. Consider one such hymn, “Higher Ground,” as an impetus to our own study. Its refrain encapsulates the desire of many Christians.

Lord, lift me up and let me stand,
By faith, on Heaven’s tableland,
A higher plane than I have found;
Lord, plant my feet on higher ground. 

Many Christians live on a “plateau,” enjoying the Christian life around them, but inwardly they yearn for something more, something deeper and more lasting. They long to make a difference in the lives of their friends, lost or unlost. They want to live in victory over sin. They want more fruitfulness from their witness. They desire a deeper walk with God and to live by faith, living in a way that pleases God.

No longer satisfied with the accustomed “plateau,” they pray for God to grant them a “tableland” or “higher ground.” But this high ground is not one from which simply to minister. It is to know God in His entirety. We desire the same as Paul: “That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death” (Philippians 3:10).

This may be the most lasting message we can take from this song. We want to know God more fully and serve as more effective Christians. We are encouraged to plant our feet on higher ground and be eternally more abundant as Christians. 

HIGHER GROUND

SE Samonte – Mennonite Smucker Family – 

Lyrics:

I’m pressing on the upward way, 
New heights Im gaining every day; 
Still praying as Im onward bound, 
Lord, plant my feet on higher ground. 

Refrain: 
Lord, lift me up and let me stand, 
By faith, on Heavens table land, 
A higher plane than I have found; 
Lord, plant my feet on higher ground. 

My heart has no desire to stay 
Where doubts arise and fears dismay; 
Though some may dwell where those abound, 
My prayer, my aim, is higher ground. 

I want to live above the world, 
Though Satans darts at me are hurled; 
For faith has caught the joyful sound, 
The song of saints on higher ground. 

I want to scale the utmost height 
And catch a gleam of glory bright; 
But still Ill pray till Heavn Ive found, 
Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.

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, June 22, 2025

“Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.” 

Ephesians 6:1 (KJV)

COMMENTARY FOR EPHESIANS 6

“The duties of children and parents. (1-4) Of servants and masters. (5-9) All Christians are to put on spiritual armour against the enemies of their souls. (10-18) The apostle desires their prayers, and ends with his apostolic blessing. (19-24)1-4 The great duty of children is, to obey their parents. That obedience includes inward reverence, as well as outward acts, and in every age prosperity has attended those distinguished for obedience to parents. The duty of parents. Be not impatient; use no unreasonable severities. Deal prudently and wisely with children; convince their judgements and work upon their reason. Bring them up well; under proper and compassionate correction; and in the knowledge of the duty God requires. Often is this duty neglected, even among professors of the gospel. Many set their children against religion; but this does not excuse the children’s disobedience, though it may be awfully occasion it. God alone can change the heart, yet he gives his blessing to the good lessons and examples of parents, and answers their prayers. But those, whose chief anxiety is that their children should be rich and accomplished, whatever becomes of their souls, must not look for the blessing of God.”

Commentary by Matthew Henry, 1710.

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.

PURE IN HEART

Hearken Ye – Blest are the Pure in Heart;
For they shall see our God when they depart;
The secret of the Lord is surely theirs;
In Christ’s abode – their souls become heirs!

Their lives give glory to the Prince of Peace
Their love for Him is strong – it will not cease;
Like Him – they dwell in lowliness – with men;
Like Him – their pattern for holiness – Amen!

To the lowly soul – His grace He imparts;
With His Spirit pure – He fills their hearts;
For His cradle – and His heavenly throne;
He chooses the Pure in Heart – they alone!

Lord – Let us pray – Thy presence we seek;
Lord – For we pray – Thy blessing unique;
Give us – we pray – a pure and lowly heart;
The Grace from Your Spirit that You impart!

The temple within – we will surely refine;
For the pure resting place of the Divine;
Purify us, Oh Lord – that we may be worthy;
To receive Your Grace – wholly and humbly!

Give us this day Your blessing, Oh Lord;
Keep us securely – surely in Your Word;
Let Your Spirit abide within us today;
For You are the Truth, the Life, and the Way!

Blest are the Pure in Heart – the Bible says;
For they are the ones who know God’s ways;
Create in us all – a heart that is pure;
So we will be servants of all – for sure!

Let not worldly concerns sweep us away;
Temptation and sinfulness – let us defray;
For it is in giving – that we will receive;
And the Pure in Heart – will ever believe!

The Glory of God – will be theirs to enjoy;
If they seek His face – in all they employ;
Grant us – Oh, Lord – a heart that is pure;
For the Pure in Heart – will surely endure!

TEACH ME LORD

In the misty morning – at the break of dawn;
With sleepy eyes and – muddy mind I fawn;
Send your assistance and blessing my way;
Dear Heavenly Father – teach me today!

I fall on my knees to give glory and praise;
I sing with the angels – our song we raise;
In thanksgiving – I thank You for all I have;
For Your comfort – consolation – and salve!

Teach me – to love – as You willingly do;
To be servant of all – just like You;
Help me to learn to be humble and last;
Help me let go of mistakes of the past!

Teach me compassion – for my neighbor today;
Help me understand – his distress – if I may;
Help me bring comfort – condolence to him;
Lift up his spirit – when his faith is slim!

Help me be more like You – assured in love;
With confidence in my Father above;
With trust in Your steadfast faithfulness;
With fidelity – teach me – gratefulness!

Teach me – to invite – the Spirit within;
Through repentance and grace – let Him in;
To guide and chide me – when I should fall short;
Help me – to His wisdom – quickly resort!

Teach me – not my will – but His will be done;
Through Him and with Him – the battle is won;
Teach me – acceptance – when I find it hard;
To repent – reconcile – and pride discard!

Teach me – patience – a gift of the Spirit;
A virtue through which – I can endear it;
Give me Grace to hang on – and persevere;
Through fasting and prayer – help me volunteer!

Teach me – hope – a gift – to which I must cling;
Patient hope – endurance – blessings will bring;
Goodness and longsuffering – grant me these;
Precious gifts of the Spirit – grant them please!

Teach me – faith – that I may share it with all;
To lighten the burden – what might befall;
Calm my fears – and brighten earthly sorrow;
Increase my faith – childlike trust in tomorrow!

HAVE A VERY BLESSED DAY !!!  ❤️❤️❤️



Aubergine

Thanks, Carl. This is particularly timely for me.

Recently, my church has decided to start using this app they discovered for everything. All the service groups I am on will only get sign-ups, notifications, and information on this app. And I’m on a few; welcoming, baking, meals ministry, and helps ministry, too.

And the DH went and researched it, and said not to download it. Too many permissions and too much access to data. And too many problems with money (people can use it to tithe). No customer service when there are issues. And on and on.

So, now I have this roadblock. I told the church secretary that my DH said no way. I’ve asked for alternatives. I figured out how to use the website the app company offers to be able to see messages, but not how to get notifications or sign up for anything.

I’ve hit an impasse I’m not sure how to navigate. And there were rumblings in the teaching last week. The words “church split” were spoken, which is never something I want to hear. And I wonder if this whole app thing is where that was coming from, although nothing specific was mentioned.

Someone said to me yesterday, churches get big, and then all of a sudden they get really small again. I wonder if that’s about to happen.

I’m not sure what to do.

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

Interesting that it would split over an app!

Aubergine

Not surprising to me, really.

The church today is dealing with tradition and technology. Many feel (me, too), that technology separates people. It’s impersonal, cold, and not appropriate for the fellowship of a church.

That was the gist of the remarks by our pastor. That the “hope” was that this app would help facilitate fellowship within the body. For a lot of us, that seems backwards.

I am a very, very loyal person. Once I commit to a person or group, it is very hard for me to leave it. So for now, I’m not moving. But I hope it all works out, somehow, so that the tech goes away.

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

I am thinking you’re not the only one pushing back on the thing being a data whore.

That’s a good sign, maybe we’ll someday rebel (as a society at large) against the data miners.

Aubergine

Boy, I hope so!

Aubergine
Can the church send email messages and notifications?

Aubergine

They have been using a text-messaging system which I thought worked fine. This is the “flavor of the month” I fear. We’ll see what happens. But I think I’m stuck with working around it for a while, if not forever.

Gudthots

Just call the church secretary every time you need to sign up for something and ask them to put it into the app for you. Then get 10 of your friends to do the same thing.

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

Yep. I cured some people of leaving my computer at work in a broken state after updates, by calling them up and having them fix it (instead of someone in my work place). The rule I try to get them to follow is, if you reboot it, it’s your responsibility to ensure it comes back up.

Aubergine

Lol. I might do that.

pgroup2

Simple.

Scripture says to hold fast to what is true.

Gideon is your model. God reduced his forces to a point where he could not win.

Thus the win could only be from God. But that’s not the only message.

Gideon knew God and he held fast to that truth, asking questions but never doubting.

Be like Gideon.

TheseTruths

And there were rumblings in the teaching last week. The words “church split” were spoken

Sounds like others also object to the app. Whoever is a decision-making body in your church needs to listen and heed the concerns. It would have been optimal to get the people’s opinion before instituting such a change. If they won’t listen, then they might indeed have a split on their hands. That would be so unnecessary and unfortunate.

Aubergine

Yes, I don’t understand why they didn’t sort of poll people before they did it.

TheseTruths

I hope they learn from it and get the issue settled.

_____________

They have to make allowances for people who don’t even have a cell phone.

If they will not, or if they insist on using the app that is not secure, then I would tell them I would like to participate in the various service groups, but I am no longer able to do so, until or unless an alternative communications method is available.

If enough people do that, they will find a way to accommodate.

By now, at least since covid, they should understand that not everyone is a mindless cow who does whatever the herd does.

And they should be grateful for that.

Because sometimes the herd does a buffalo jump right into a giant vat of experimental, untested government juice.

And that’s just not healthy.

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

They have to make allowances for people who don’t even have a cell phone.

Actually, it’s even worse than that; there are cell phones out there that aren’t “smartphones” and can’t run the app.

They have to make allowances for people who don’t even have a smart phone.

scott467

I don’t really know the distinctions between the various cell phones, so I use the term ‘cell phone’ for any phone that doesn’t plug into a wall with a cord 😁

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

The “old style” flip phones do texts and phone calls, and maybe have a few other things on them like a calendar. They’re probably SOL at Aubergine’s church.

The new glass-fronted phones are the ones that can install whatever apps.

Gudthots

The grocery store wants me to use an app to get discounts… I just blink at them and say, but I don’t have a phone. And somehow out comes a laminated barcode that they can scan to give me the discount. 😀

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

Those preferred customer scams are just so they can figure out what you buy and then send you advertising for it. In some cases you can’t get the same discount other people get, for something they know you’ll buy anyway. How do they know you’ll buy it anyway? You give them that info for free.

cthulhu

How very…….Amazonian…..

Gudthots

In the readings today is Jesus feeding of the 5,000. I noticed he had the disciples have the people sit down in groups of (about) 50. That got me thinking about the way church communities seem to flow better when they are less than 100 people.

In terms of apps and friction, I’ve been part of efforts where something similar happened. Seems to always turn out that there’s someone in the inner circle trying to steer groups into the BORG.

Last time I went straight to the top in a very peaceful but clear message. “We are working together to leave oppressive systems. I will not submit to any requirement to create new oppressive systems.”

In the end I believe my clarity helped them to put the brakes on some of the plans to return to the Borg. Eventually his resistance got him fired. And he’s the one that started the group!

Aubergine

Our pastor has commented in both last week’s and this week’s teaching that he is “not much of an app person,” both times in reference to something other than this app. But it makes me think he’s not too happy about it, which may mean its demise.

Damage report on Iran nuclear sites still not clear: General

The chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff says an assessment of the destruction sustained at Iran’s nuclear facilities will take time to confirm.

“I think PDA [preliminary damage assessment] is still pending and it would be way too early for me to comment on what or what my not still be there,” General Dan Caine told reporters at the Pentagon.

He declined to comment on specific moves taken to protect US troops based in the Middle East from potential Iranian retaliation.

“Our joint force remains ready to defend the United States – our troops and our interests in the region,” said Caine.

Hegseth says US mission ‘not about regime change’

Asked whether regime change in Iran is off the table as a US policy goal, Hegseth replied: “This mission was not, is not about regime change.”

No one is going to believe that. In fact, especially with Iran and internationally, US credibility has taken a huge hit At this point it has to be about regime change besides, further down the page Israel says it is pursuing regime change and that this operation has been months in the making.

Barb Meier

I believe that. Each nation has their own military intelligence and planning.

scott467

Hegseth should say that if the United States was pursuing regime change, that would require the Biden / Hussein team, creepy Samantha Power and that Jabba the Hut wymyn involved.

I can picture her ugly mug, but I can’t remember her name. I tried searching for it, under Biden foreign policy, biden regime change team, Biden Ukraine woman, even Biden’s foreign policy team on Wiki, etc.

It’s incredible, like she disappeared from the face of the earth.

I would think just the opposite, that when DJT says he’s going to do something, he means it.

And if it might involve military action, unlike traitor Gen. Pink-Hair Milley, we won’t be calling the enemy beforehand to give them a heads-up.

“Project Pelican”: The Secret Deal that Bypassed a National Security Review

….According to Mr. Jones and Ms. Fanning’s paper, entitled “What Could Possibly Go Wrong?” Secret Deal Allows Company Tied to Saddam’s Nuclear Bombmaker, Iran and U.A.E. to Manage Key Florida Port Facilities, Secretary of the Treasury Jack Lew unilaterally approved the lease for Gulftainer – a Middle Eastern ports company owned by the Emir of Sharjah of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Iraqi businessman Hamid Dhia Jafar – following two years of secret talks.

It is deeply concerning that Lew and the Obama administration decided to forego any national security threat analysis by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) which certainly seems in order given the nature and implications of this deal. After all, a similarly fraught arrangement – a contract for Dubai Ports World to manage a number of U.S. ports a decade ago – was submitted for CFIUS approval, and ultimately aborted.

In addition to being an important seaport in its own right, Port Canaveral is in close proximity to a number of key U.S. facilities – including the Navy’s East Coast ballistic missile submarine base, two U.S. Air Force Space Command bases and NASA’s Kennedy Space Center.

As the paper’s authors dug into the details surrounding this deal, they discovered – in addition to Gulftainer’s obvious and still potentially problematic ties to the UAE – a troubling array of connections linking it to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the Clinton Foundation, and President Barack Obama, himself. For example, Obama’s former college roommates, one Indian and one Pakistani – who remain to this day his close friends – have personal and business relationships with the Jafar family….

More headlines:

2016 BombSniffing Dogs Find Missiles Bound For US
2016 Nuclear Weapons Hidden in Cargo Containers Won’t Remain Hidden for LongA new method of detection may mean safer shores.

Researchers have developed a new method of detecting weapons-grade uranium and plutonium hidden in cargo containers.

The proof of concept, announced today in a research paper published in Scientific Reports, was developed by scientists from the Georgia Institute of Technology, the University of Michigan, and Pennsylvania State University. If the concept scales to actual conditions, the technique has the potential to reveal smuggled nuclear material that would pass unnoticed using current detection methods.

It’s nearly impossible to inspect the more than 10 million crates of cargo that enter the United States every year using the current system of passive radiation detection. Shielded nuclear material can be thought of as a Russian doll: the small payload inside has layer upon layer covering it. Passive detection can identify a dense metal somewhere in those layers of steel, but it can’t identify what that metal is. It could be uranium, or it could be something relatively benign like tungsten.

I can’t help it: I find it hilarious that people think those in this administration get some of their ideas about major geopolitical implications from here, as if they aren’t multiple steps ahead of us and as if we are more read-in on national security concerns than they are.

I have no doubt that they considered the Strait of Hormuz (as well as other contingencies) long before a decision was made to drop the bombs. It’s just that it’s only now being talked about, and we just happened to think of it. 😅 If they hadn’t gamed out every possibility while coming to a decision, they would be incompetent.

You just give TheDemocrats time and they will confirm everything we’ve always known about them … they want power and money!
The DNC doesn’t not care about America or the American people … never forget that!
Excerpts from Article:
‘The New York Times reported Thursday that “a coalition of elected officials, community activists, and labor and civic leaders in New York City” is planning ahead for the 2030 census, as Republicans push to have noncitizens excluded from congressional districting counts.’
‘New York Democrats fear they will lose at least two of their 26 seats in the House, according to the Times.’
‘More than 4.5 million migrants live in New York State, about 23.1 percent of its total population, according to a breakdown of 2023 census data from the Migration Policy Institute, a nonpartisan think tank. Of those 4.5 million, about 1.8 million are noncitizens.’
‘It is important to note that Rep. Yvette Clarke (D-NY), who represents Brooklyn’s Ninth Congressional District, in January 2024 revealed why she personally wants illegal aliens coming into the United States, stating, “I need more people in my district just for redistricting purposes,” RedState reported at the time.’

so signal jammers–illegal in china–are being smuggled here to interfere with police, fire and other services by criminals.
article
(The Center Square)–There’s been an 830% increase in the amount of U.S. Customs and Border Protection seizures of Chinese-manufactured signal jammers since 2021, posing a threat to law enforcement operations, according to a new Department of Homeland Security warning.
DHS issued the warning to law enforcement saying the increased amount of signal jammers being smuggled into the U.S. poses “a threat to public safety and civilian aviation.” CBP “has seen a roughly 830% increase in seizures since 2021, despite Chinese companies’ attempts to subvert inspection,” it said.
Signal jammers are often used “to disrupt a range of radio frequency channels, and pose a threat to emergency response, law enforcement and critical infrastructure,” the warning states.
Signal jammers are being used by a new organized theft ring that emerged under the Biden administration, South American Theft Groups (SATG). “South American illegal aliens jam calls to local police during home invasions or bank robberies in Florida, Illinois, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, Vermont, and Virginia,” DHS said.
Under the Biden administration, as a record number of illegal border crossers made their way throughout the U.S., law enforcement officials recognized a similar trend of vehicle theft, targeted home burglaries and violent crimes, connecting them to SATG. SATG are believed to be run primarily by Columbian and Chilean nationals who either illegally entered the U.S. or exploited a visa program, law enforcement officials nationwide have found, The Center Square reported.
Officials from across the country testified before Congress about Chilean gang members committing violent crimes in residential neighborhoods only to learn they had been released into the country by the Biden administration, The Center Square reported.
Last year, Florida sheriffs identified SATG members targeting Asian Americans in six counties, The Center Square reported. By December, the NFL issued a security alert to players after professional football players’ homes were being targeted and broken into throughout the Midwest, The Center Square reported.
In Texas, DHS working with local authorities identified an SATG ring operating in Houston and Laredo tied to stolen merchandise in Minnesota, The Center Square reported.
In February of 2025, law enforcement in Texas “recovered a signal jammer while arresting an illegal alien from Chile,” DHS said.
“Signal jammers have been used by illegal aliens across the country to jam communications during police operations, bank robberies, burglaries, and other dangerous crimes,” a DHS spokesperson said. “Under the vigilance of CBP, national security begins at America’s ports. As Chinese manufacturers attempt to smuggle signal jammers, we will continue to seize these tools of terrorism. President [Donald] Trump and [DHS] Secretary [Kristi] Noem will always protect America’s critical infrastructure and law enforcement.”
Federal law prohibits “the private import, operation, marketing, or sale of any signal jamming equipment that interferes with law enforcement communications, GPS, or radar,” DHS says. Despite the signal jammers being manufactured in China, they are banned in Beijing for public use.
The SATG crime wave exploded in the U.S. as a record nearly 500,000 Columbian nationals illegally entered the U.S. under the Biden administration, The Center Square reported. Chilean national illegal entries also increased because many Haitians who illegally entered the country had Chilean passports and identification because they were living and working there, The Center Square has reported. Under the Biden administration, a record nearly 700,000 Haitians were reported illegally entering the U.S., The Center Square reported.
The DHS warning comes after a U.S. House report identified hundreds of Chinese espionage incidents within three years under the Biden administration, and after the greatest number of Chinese nationals illegally entered the U.S. in recorded history over the same time period – more than 176,000 nationwide, The Center Square exclusively reported.

So announce a policy that the U.S. will charge Chyna $5,000 for every signal jamming device that is seized.

$2,500 of that goes to the person who turns it in, and $2,500 goes to gov’t to offset tax reductions for the American People.

Do the same thing with Fentanyl. For every lethal dose seized, charge chyna $10,000.

Same for all the unlicensed chyneez knock-offs of American products.

Chyna won’t want to pay it, but sadly, it must be paid before any of their ships full of chyneeze products are allowed into port.

Good online friends —

So, Yours Truly got back to the house around Midnight last night. Took care of Solas and gave him a “midnight snack”. Ate a “midnight snack” myself, drank a lot of water, then the doggie and I settled in to sleep.

Here’s what I learned (the hard way) from the trip to the ER yesterday:

ONE: On very hot/humid days, in addition to taking the usual amount of liquids during the day (water / Gatorade / herbal or decaf tea, etc. Alcohol, caffeinated drinks, soda drinks, etc., do NOT count and need to be minimized or eliminated), a person needs to take AT LEAST 500mL MORE of water. Let’s say a person weighs 100 pounds. At the usual equation of pounds divided by 2 = how much liquid intake per day, that means the person would normally need to drink 50 ounces of water / Gatorade / herbal or decaf tea, etc., during the day.
On very hot/humid days, this would mean the 100-pound person need 50 ounces PLUS at least another 500mL (in rough terms, 17 more ounces) MORE water / Gatorade, etc.

If that means the person needs to use the bathroom more frequently, so be it.

Make sure that pets have plenty of water, too.

In addition, the person needs to have hydration during the overnight — water, Gatorade. The person may need to take as much as ANOTHER 500mL during the overnight.

TWO: Make sure that blood sodium and potassium levels are maintained. This could mean via food sources, via electrolyte drinks, via using electrolyte powder mixed in water, via a product called “Liquid I.V.” powder mixed in water, etc. It does NOT mean that food is heavily salted — reasonable amounts of salt is the goal. Gatorade, “Liquid I.V.” and many types of electrolyte drinks also have some salt (sodium) in them, and other nutrients also, such as some potassium.

THREE: Use of air conditioning, a necessity in hot/humid weather, can actually dehydrate a person. So can the use of an air dehumidifier machine. So, even if one is staying inside with the AC on, that extra liquid intake description above still applies.

FOUR: Have a plan ready in case (God forbid) the power goes out for some reason in very hot/humid weather. If the power goes out, the interior of a house can heat up very quickly. Have a place to go to that has power — closest firehouse (they likely have generators for when the electricity is out); a family member’s house or a friend’s house; the nearest ER, etc. Make sure there’s water in the car — lots of water. MAKE SURE PETS GO WITH YOU.

Thank you, PAVACA. I remember in California we would tease that because lots of homes did not have A/C (thinking they did not need it), everyone would go to the grocery store on very hot days and hang out in the frozen food aisles.

Gudthots

And when Malls were built, then mall walking became a thing.

Barb Meier

Oh yes, I remember that now. These days, malls are getting closed and torn down in St Louis and I imagine elsewhere.

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

No need for AC in California?

Geez what idiot ever thought that?

Where I live it occasinally busted 110 and that was in the Los Angeles Basin, not the Mojave.

I had to buy a pool timer (240 v) and have it turn on my AC at noon while I was at work. That’s the latest it could come on and not have my apartment be an oven six hours later. Without that I had to run it all day. (It paid for itself in two months.)

Barb Meier

That’s what we were told when we lived in Santa Clara, CA. My BF added a new circult the electric box and got a window A/C.

Gail Combs

50 ounces = 6 1/4 cups

17 ounces = 2 cups in addition. or a total of about 8.5 cups of liquid.

>>>>>>>>>>

I am about 50 miles south of PAVACA.

Yesterday my day outside started at 6 AM and ended at 8 PM — we sprayed weeds, moved ponies and then I had an afternoon party. I drank 6.5 cups of tea with Detox and 10 cups of water spiked with a bit of home made lemonade to improve the taste.

No problem with the heat although I did not hit the ladies as frequently as I should. Today I am having potassium depletion muscle cramps. 🙄

So yes, hydration makes a BIG difference. However you do need to also pay attention to the electrolyte loss.

We ALWAYS carry a cooler with drinks even when shopping. Yesterday I packed 9 big bottles (2 .5 to 3 cups each) of assorted non-soda drinks and the 3 of us drank all of it. I was a bit surprised since I thought it was overkill.

Please be careful in the weather this week. Central NC is going to be especially awful.

Yours Truly is putting cut-up dried apricots (for potassium) on the morning Greek yogurt now.
I’m sprinkling a little salt into the sugar-free Gatorade that I drink every morning.
Also using a powder called “Liquid I.V.” mixed into bottled water. This product has sodium, potassium, vitamin B complex and vitamin C in it. It also comes in a sugar-free version.

Good morning, loyal C&C supporters, it’s Sunday! And it’s another stolen news cycle, with the circle begun in the 1970’s having now come fully around. Given the apocalyptic hot takes and the gravity of the moment, I’m sharing the first segment on the Iranian attacks with the full reader base. The remaining roundup and comments are reserved, as usual, for subscribers: President Trump sneakily bombs three Iranian nuclear sites in a stealthy, well-executed and complex military operation involving a breathtaking array of military branches; hints of a bigger picture emerge from the chaos and fog of war, and we connect a few dots; dark day for Democrats as Kari Lake fatally trims its Cold War-era propaganda machine; we revisit coverage of celebrity sudden and unexpected deaths at home, as another one bites the dust; another AWFL careerist mourns her lonely life in brutal intersection of purity spirals and vaccine arrogance; Governor DeSantis preserves Florida sunshine by setting jail sentences for geoengineers; FBI deputy director rounds up a terrific list of agency crimefighting; Texas AG Paxton begins crackdown on illegal alien voting in the Lone Star State; and GOP’s collective advantages become unavoidably noticeable, raising profound questions for Dems about the looming midterms.

TLDR? Don’t care. I see a lot of people nervous today. Why? People are texting and calling me, worried about the state of the world. Fearing for their own safety. Again, why?

Is this how you would’ve acted if we struck al-Qaeda on September 10th, 2001? A day before the towers fell?

You’re not looking at an administration eager to launch a ground war. There are GWOT veterans in charge now. And what’s the one thing we all wished for in hindsight? A time machine to deal with the problem before it happened.

You do realize if a nuclear weapon goes off anywhere in the world, America will have to react to it, right? Much less if it goes off here.

Do you want another Pearl Harbor? Another 9/11? A Lusitania?

Because historically, that’s what it takes to wake Americans up. We don’t act until there’s a crater.

This… this is what low intensity conflict looks like. It means striking before we’re struck. And say what you want about how America may have inflamed this situation over the decades. I can’t get on board with that. Not after fighting Iranian proxies and Quds Force during GWOT. Not after losing one of my own to one of their EFPs.

I’m telling you: these people want us fully dead. Not misunderstood. Not negotiated with. Dead.

If there’s one thing I know about the Middle East, it’s this: it’s like a wild garden. If you don’t prune it, vipers take refuge in the shade. That’s the way of things. And so it has been, since time immemorial.

Some of you are terrified a terrorist might strike your office or neighborhood. Why? I’ve been up close. They don’t pick a fight when you’re alert. They don’t attack the sheepdog, they wait for it to sleep. Then they go for the sheep. 

I’m not sorry, this is what peace through strength looks like. This is what deterrence looks like. And deterrence doesn’t mean freedom from all violence, it means the timely use of force to prevent a far worse future.

That unsettles some people. But make no mistake: The rest of the world only responds to strength. That’s it.

You live inside a miracle within the borders of this country. Most of you can’t fathom what it takes to preserve that. But out there? Only the strong survive.

And if you want to keep living inside this miracle (safe, free, and untouched by the chaos of the world) then yes… it means we have to beat the hell out of people from time to time.

You can argue whether that’s good or bad. You can argue our meddling over the past 70 years did more harm than good, and you might be right.

But Iran with nukes? That’s not nuanced. That’s simple. They can’t have them.

If they felt bold enough to kill people like me in Baghdad, what makes you think they wouldn’t use something bigger on you?

It’s not that they are unwilling. It’s that up to this point, they have just been unable.

I don’t know what to tell you. The world is a bad place. It always has been. But you’re still here. That means you all have a role to play. Be thankful we’re not being asked to bleed for a fantasy again. You don’t have to save the world, just hold your corner of it with courage.

(2) APPLICABILITY OF OTHER REQUIREMENTS.–Nothing in this resolution supersedes any requirement of the War Powers Resolution.

War on terror – Wikipedia

The war on terror, officially the Global War on Terrorism (GWOT),[4] is a global military campaign initiated by the United States following the September 11 attacks in 2001, and is one of the most recent global conflicts spanning multiple wars. Some researchers and political scientists have argued that it replaced the Cold War.[5][6]

The main targets of the campaign were militant Islamist movements such as al-Qaeda, Taliban and their allies. Other major targets included the Ba’athist regime in Iraq, which was deposed in an invasion in 2003, and various militant factions that fought during the ensuing insurgency. Following its territorial expansion in 2014, the Islamic State also emerged as a key adversary of the United States….

May 21, 2017 — U.S. President Trump declares war on terrorism

…The Arab Islamic American Summit in Riyadh is the highlight of Trump’s two-day visit to Saudi Arabia, the birthplace of Islam and the first stop on Trump’s inaugural multi-nation tour as president.

Gail Combs

Remember ‘The War on Terror’ has been used for military strikes on Muslime countries by BOTH DemonRat and ReBoob presidents since then.

This is a clarification on the subject and what I remember:

Is there a constitutional barrier to a US strike on Iran?
Opinion: The long-running battle over war powers stems from two clauses in the U.S. Constitution: Congress declares war and funds the military, but the president serves as commander-in-chief of the armed forces…

A longstanding constitutional struggle

The dispute over presidential war powers is not new. It stems from two provisions in the U.S. Constitution: On one hand, Congress is granted the power to declare war, fund the military, and establish rules for its governance. On the other hand, the president is named commander-in-chief of the armed forces.

Over the years, presidents have argued that the Constitution allows them to use military force to defend American citizens and soldiers, and in cases of national self-defense, without needing advance congressional approval. For example, in 1950, President Harry Truman sent U.S. troops to Korea without a declaration of war from Congress, relying instead on a UN Security Council resolution calling on member states to support South Korea against the North’s invasion.

In response to such actions, Congress passed the War Powers Resolution in 1973, aimed at ensuring legislative oversight in U.S. military conflicts, even when no formal declaration of war is made.

  :wpds_arrow: The law stipulates that if the president sends American forces into hostilities without a declaration of war, he must notify Congress within 48 hours. The military engagement must end within 60 days unless Congress authorizes its continuation…..

Impeachment is just an accusation. That’s it. That’s ALL it is. It is not a trial, it is not a conviction. It is just a charge brought by partisan political hacks.

This from Jeff at C&C

BIG SHOW – BACK DOOR DEAL?

1) Iran’s nuclear facilities were evacuated and equipment moved out days in advance.

2) US publicly announced and made the upcoming strikes visible. We all saw the bombers moving in place and the news coverage predicting the strike.

3) The U.S. hence struck an empty Iranian nuclear facility, since the Iranians knew and evacuated it.

4) US satellites showed the evacuation of the facilities by the Iranians, hence the Americans knew the facility is are empty and not operational.

5) US and Iran held secret talks in Oman days before, no one knows what was agreed upon.

6) Trump essentially explained that such a deal was done previously.

-> The attached video!

7) The only logical conclusion is that Iran and USA made a secret deal to end the war.

– USA strikes empty facilities

– Iran will retaliate but miss (like in the video explained)

-> Just watch for the Iran response. Not the words, but the actual physical response. If it’s not too harsh on casualties, but looks big … I’m right.

PS: It’s a geopolitical observation I made. I could be wrong.

People need to understand that the governments are not telling us the truth most of the time and that not everything is as it seems. The authorities need consent, so they make shows for you.

Don’t get upset. Just note it as a possible scenario. I’m not here to repeat the MSM talking points of any country, here you got the nuanced middle position I feel is right.

contains 2020 Fox news video.

A different Video where Trump says

…more than a thousand innocent civilians were tortured and killed by their own government we took action last night to stop a war we did not take action to start a war I have deep respect for the Iranian people they are a remarkable people with an incredible heritage and unlimited potential.

  :wpds_arrow: We do not seek regime change however the Iranian regime’s aggression and the region including the use of proxy fighters to destabilize its neighbors must end in a must end now the future belongs to the people of Iran those who seek peaceful coexistence and cooperation not the terrorists warlords who plunder their nation to finance bloodshed…

I guess Monday hearings start. Has a fear that some of these generals are going to admit to small things by design that open up impeachment inquiries.

Personally I’d rather he’d of not played along with the Neo Cons in this and just threatened to nuke Iran off the face of Globe if they tried anything stupid.

Same here. Although as long as he notified the DemonRats within 48 hrs, which he did AND does not continue beyond 60 days he has not broken any laws.

Update.

If Josh Reid’s intel contact was correct, Israel was threatening to use tactical Nukes if Trump would not give them Bunker Busters.

Looks like he did not trust Israel and had the USA military use them instead.

If they go with impeachment it may get spicy if the Israel threats to Trump get an airing.

What the actual truth is I do not know but wearing blinders will certainly not find it. However If I am correct, the Rothschilds specifically resurrected Israel BECAUSE they knew Christians would defend it despite any atrocities it committed. Seems they were correct.

BTW Ariel Sharon, who I brought up the other day was a SECULAR Russian Jew and a socialist. So a Jew in name only.

Sharon became an instrumental figure in the creation of Unit 101 and the reprisal operations, including the 1953 Qibya massacre, as well as in the 1956 Suez Crisis, the Six-Day War of 1967, the War of Attrition, and the Yom-Kippur War of 1973.

Unit 101 were armed with non-standard weapons and tasked with carrying out retribution operations across the state’s borders—in particular, establishing small unit maneuvers, activation and insertion tactics…

….

This is where US Marines were peace keeping and got harrassed/killed by Israeli soldiers.

As Minister of Defense, he directed the 1982 Lebanon War. An official enquiry found that he bore “personal responsibility” for the Sabra and Shatila massacre of Palestinian refugees, for which he became known as the “Butcher of Beirut” among Arabs. He was subsequently removed as defense minister.

AND THEN THIS MURDER OF THE DEFENSELESS WAS ELECTED PRIME MINISTER!

Colonel Towner said he is who ordered the attack on the USS Liberty.

I did find this:

The Jewish genocide of 1,000 Egyptian POWs & attack on USS Liberty

…the Israeli journalist Gabi Bron saw about 150 Egyptian POWs sitting on the ground, crowded together with their hands held at the backs of their necks. “The Egyptian prisoners of war were ordered to dig pits and then army police shot them to death,” Bron said. “I witnessed the executions with my own eyes on the morning of June eighth, in the airport area of El Arish.”

The Israeli military historian Aryeh Yitzhaki, who worked in the army’s history department after the war, said he and other officers collected testimony from dozens of soldiers who admitted killing POWs. According to Yitzhaki, Israeli troops killed, in cold blood, as many as 1,000 Egyptian prisoners in the Sinai, including some 400 in the sand dunes of El Arish.

Ironically, Ariel Sharon, who was capturing territory south of El Arish at the time of the slaughter, had been close to massacres during other conflicts. One of his men during the Suez crisis in 1956, Arye Biro, now a retired brigadier general, recently admitted the unprovoked killing of forty-nine prisoners of war in the Sinai in 1956. “I had my Karl Gustav [weapon] I had taken from the Egyptian. My officer had an Uzi. The Egyptian prisoners were sitting there with their faces turned to us. We turned to them with our loaded guns and shot them. Magazine after magazine. They didn’t get a chance to react.” At another point, Biro said, he found Egyptian soldiers prostrate •with thirst. He said that after taunting them by pouring water from his canteen into the sand, he killed them. “If I were to be put on trial for what I did,” he said, “then it would be necessary to put on trial at least one-half the Israeli army…

in 1982, Sharon would be held “indirectly responsible” for the slaughter of about 900 men, women, and children by Lebanese Christian militia at the Sabra and Shatila refugee camps fol-

lowing Israel’s invasion of Lebanon. Despite his grisly past, or maybe because of it, in October 1998 he was appointed minister of foreign affairs in the cabinet of right-wing prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Sharon later took over the conservative Likud Party. On September 28, 2000, he set off the bloodiest upheaval between Israeli forces and Palestinians in a generation, which resulted in a collapse of the seven-year peace process. The deadly battles, which killed over 200…

I did look at the photos. Closely. And by the time I got to your post, I had already read about this in several other places.

You said:

“BTW I bring alternate views instead of BLIND worship of Israel the Kings who can do no wrong.”

Implying, I suppose, that I worship Israeli kings? Lol.

I worship no one other than the One True God,.

I don’t have the time to read every thing about the conflict in Israel, no matter its credibility. And you have posted many, many things that all point to the same idea; that history in the area where half of all the world’s Jews live began with British control of the area, and their later disposition of it.

I find that whole concept to be utter nonsense, and so I don’t entertain much information about it. I am selective about what I read and I just don’t need to sort wheat from chaff like that all the time. Jewish presence in Israel is thousands of years old.

An important idea occurred to me last night, and here is a place for it. In the Old Testament, non-Israelites were allowed to convert to the Abrahamic religion now called Judaism. There are several examples in the OT; Ruth, Rahab, and many of the nation of Nineveh show this.

If people are allowed by God to convert to Judaism, and thus be Israelites, then ALL of the Jewish population of Israel are folded in to God’s chosen people, who were given that land as a birthright millennia ago. And that birthright supersedes any and all occupation or dispensation by Britain or any other group.

I am not one for minced words when stating my opinion. I’m not going to write a paragraph when a sentence will do. Sorry if calling “bullshit” when I think it is too abrupt.

A lot of info going on.
Personally I see two choices US had one let Iran mad man get the nuke or take the nukes out. Trump is dammed if he does and when he does not.
Being threatened over and over one needs to take it serious. The blame game has begone. These people were never truly in the Trump camp. We all want peace sometimes peace comes through action. We are not sheep waiting to be slaughtered by a mad man from Iran.

Gail Combs

Depends on what the actual goal is.

Israel and the international War hawks want another middle east war, maybe even a nuclear war.. Other wise, why has Israel been aggressive against several countries lately?

Trump and other leaders want PEACE.

So how do you get peace?

Israel’s excuse this time was Iran had nukes or was close to having nukes.

As I mentioned earlier Josh Reid said several days ago:

As of yesterday I had really good intelligence saying that the nuclear option was on the table… but it is not who you thought it was from… It was Israel planning to use a tactical NUKE against Iranian nuclear facilities. They said this to trump because they wanted Trump to give them the bunker busters. But Trump is going to go in and do it himself. This is what we are waiting for right now.

Given he was correct about Trump & the bunker busters, the other info is likely true.

So Israel was BLACKMAILING Trump with a nuclear strike against Iran.

Trump DOES NOT WANT ESCALATION, so he tells them he has to destroy those facilities to PREVENT a nuclear strike by Israel and gives them time to remove personnel.

However to pacify the War Hawks here and in the EU, Trump is certainly not going to broadcast that is what was done.

Do I know if that is true? Of course not but it certainly is possible given Israel’s aggressive nature and Israel’s influence on our politicians.

A Josh Reid Substack article from June 13th

https://redpillproject.substack.com/p/the-silent-war-becomes-real-trump

Israel looking to US for potential ‘regime change’ plansFormer Israeli diplomat Alon Pinkas says “the scale and scope” of Iran’s response to the US attacks on its nuclear sites could determine whether a “cycle of escalation” triggers a major expansion of the conflict.
Iran could respond by disrupting the strategic Strait of Hormuz or going after the US military assets in the region, Pinkas said.
Israeli officials will be closely watching how Iran plays its cards, including if it directly responds to the US, to assess the likely trajectory of the conflict, said Pinkas. They will also be closely following the rhetoric in Washington for any hints that “regime change” in Iran is on the table, he said.
Trump’s latest statement, he added, suggests “regime change is not part of the plan” in the US. But “Israel thinks differently”, said Pinkas.

Meanwhile 7 hours ago. Maersk says ships continue to sail through Strait of Hormuz and 6 hours ago. The Israeli stock market surges to record highs

Nationalism is essentially loyalty to the nation. That same kind of loyalty is why we have politicians returning to Washington for three or four decades instead of being tossed out when their corruption becomes clear. It is unwise to discount such loyalty.

EVENING PRAYERS

Prayer For Grace At The End Of The Day

Heavenly Father, as the day is drawing to its close I ask that Your continued love and presence be with me and with all that are Your children in Christ. Guard us through the long hours of darkness this night I pray, and keep us safe from all harm and dangers that may try to cross our threshold. 

Give us, I pray, an untroubled night of rest and quietness of heart. May we be refreshed and renewed in body, soul and spirit as we rest our weary hearts in You through the hours of the night. 

Lord, I pray that by Your great grace and mercy, You would grant us untroubled sleep so that we may rise up in the morning strong to do Your bidding. May we all rejoice for the dawn of a new day, knowing that Your mercies are new every morning. In Jesus’ name,

Amen.

Prayer Of Reflection On The Past Day

Loving Lord, as the day is coming to an end, I want to thank You for being with me in all that has taken place today. I also want to lay the whole day before You, asking that you would show me if there is anything that I have done to hurt or harm another person unknowingly, or if I have done anything that is displeasing in Your sight, or quenched the work of the Spirit in me, so that I may turn away from such things in the days that lie ahead.

Lord, I desire to do Your will in all things. I pray that You would cleanse me of any wrong thoughts or attitudes that may have surfaced in my heart today. Wash me in Your cleansing flood, I pray. 

Thank You, that You are a God who forgives our transgressions when we are willing to confess them to You, knowing that such cleansing before You immediately draws us back into sweet fellowship with Yourself. 

Give me a good night’s rest I pray, and may I rest quietly in Your loving arms in the knowledge that in Christ, I am eternally secure, due to Your amazing grace, for which I praise You. In Jesus’ name, 

Amen.

Prayer Of Thanksgiving In The Evening

Praise Your holy name Heavenly Father, for granting yet another day in my life and for being with me every step of the way. Thank You for the many blessings that You have provided and the love and fellowship that I have with the friends and family that in Your grace You have placed in my life.
 
My heart is so thankful for all the many blessings that I enjoy day by day, and today I am once again reminded that Your mercies are new every morning and Your faithfulness endures from generation to generation.
 
Thank You, that I have been brought into Your family and have been made a child of God and a citizen of heaven. Words cannot express my love and devotion to You Lord
 
I pray that You would watch over me as I rest tonight, and that You would give me a restful night’s sleep so that I may wake up in the morning refreshed in body and spirit and ready to do Your will. Guard all those that I love and may we all grow in grace and in a knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ in the days that lie ahead. This I ask in His precious name,
 
Amen.

I was doing a Halloween event at a church a few years ago just after the ‘Summer of Love — George Floyd riots. We do them every year.

One of the guys I talked to said several of the members now conceal carry just in case. I do not think that is rare given the atmosphere these days.

I know several who serve on security at Hubby’s church & they all carry…

We have a security team at our church, but I’d bet my hat there are at least 20-30 concealed weapons in the church on Sunday morning. Maybe more.

One of them might be mine 😉

Seeing each person in this administration hold their own against the slimiest of the talking heads is beyond gratifying.

Makes me think back to an interview where Howard Lutnick explains in detail how each cabinet position was filled. Candidates had to come out strong in presenting their message in the media. (Entire interview is a fascinating view into the background for many things, actually.)

https://singjupost.com/transcript-of-howard-lutnicks-interview-on-all-in-podcast/

The Cabinet Selection Process

HOWARD LUTNICK: Right. Just go win. You got to go win. So what happens is I’m doing a dry run. So I called Elon and I said, where are you? He goes, what do you mean? I’m in Austin, Texas. I go, what are you doing? I mean, what is the point of you spending three weeks living in Pennsylvania helping the guy get elected if you’re not going to help him pick the cabinet? Come on. Right.

Because the way President Trump works, he makes decisions by orchestra. He likes lots of views and opinions. And anybody who says, oh, the last person who sees him gets him, that’s because they don’t know him at all. Right, the answer is it’s an orchestra. Right.

And I would say, okay, I’m the first violin. You know, at the time, I would say I was second violin. Right. So this is an orchestra.

So the president’s not going to make a decision with me and him alone. So it went like this: President sitting across from me, right, at the conference table. Elon to his left, Susie to his right. Right. JD to my left. Linda McMahon was my co-chair. Right. But she wrote all those EOs that he did. She was responsible for that. And I was responsible for personnel, but she was with me for personnel. So she’s sitting to my right, JD sitting to my left, Don Jr., Stephen Miller. And there was always 12 people in the room. They were never like, me and him just in the corner doing this or that. And what we would do is I would put eight candidates on one screen.

INTERVIEWER: Right?

HOWARD LUTNICK: Right. And then big candidate on each screen.

INTERVIEWER: Right.

HOWARD LUTNICK: Most beautiful AI picture of you you’ve ever seen.

INTERVIEWER: Right.

HOWARD LUTNICK: And people would walk in and go, where’d you get that photo?

INTERVIEWER: Right.

HOWARD LUTNICK: I’m like, what do you think I did? I took three of my photos.

INTERVIEWER: I’ve heard secondhand stories of this room during the transition, that you walk in and everyone’s photos up on the screen.

HOWARD LUTNICK: Everybody’s on the room.

INTERVIEWER: And so what happened, that’s a candidate for a role. And then you guys would debate it.

HOWARD LUTNICK: So what happened is a big picture of the person.

INTERVIEWER: Yeah.

HOWARD LUTNICK: Their key highlights of the resume. Not boring their education.

INTERVIEWER: Yeah, right.

HOWARD LUTNICK: And then you would click a button and you’d see them speaking 20 seconds at a time. Four of them. Right. So it was about 80 seconds. And you’re not speaking about the job, just like, how do you present?

And what you can see is his whole cabinet can talk. All of them, totally. Because he picked them knowing. I need you to be able to talk, to be able to present our ideas and our concepts out there. And that’s key to him.

Gail Combs

One of the things I found to be a standout was all the people I have seen so far are very strong and can stand up for themselves and the Admin against the swipes taken at them by the Fake news.

Ghost brought up Tom Cotton BLOCKING the release of the JFK files. From another article (Conspiracy website) the connections to Israel was the reason.

He also says if you DARE to bring up something like this you IMMEDIATELY get the ‘RACIST’ treatment. Amazing what over 100 years of Psy Ops has done.

At 1:32:00 they bring up a Tucker Carlson clip with Cuomo discussing the Intel. committee MOVING TO BLOCK A NOMINATION TO KEEP THOSE FILES SECRET. This is what I found interesting.

comment image

The United States has had three coups if you count the first one as being Jekyll Island in November of 1910. Those first coup plotters met at Jekyll Island and secretly wrote the law that became the Federal Reserve Act of 1913. All of the bankers who met in secret were Rothschild agents. This included Paul Warburg of the Rothschild dominated Kuhn Loeb bank. Nelson Aldrich who was a Senator married into the Rockefeller family. The Rockefellers were created by the Rothschilds as were J P Morgan, the Harrimans and the Bush family. Senator Aldrich was head of the National Monetary Commission created by President Theodore Roosevelt. Roosevelt had become President after the Jews had successfully assassinated President McKinley. They previously had assassinated President Lincoln…

The following is from a video made by Michael Collins Piper. He has connected all the dots in the Kennedy assassination and tied them to Israel.

Mordecai Vanunu was the original whistleblower. In 1986 he told the world that Israel had nuclear weapons and published photos of the secret Dimona works in the British press. He said Prime Minister Ben Gurion ordered the assassination of JFK because the President opposed Israel’s acquisition of nuclear weapons. Ben Gurion resigned in protest over JFK’s Israeli policies. Vanunu also wrote a letter in 1997 saying that there was even a link between the assassination of Kennedy and Israel’s launching of the 1967 war.

Michael Collins Piper wrote Final Judgement: The Missing Link in the JFK Assassination. Michael Collins Piper in this book argued that the Israelis killed Kennedy. Vanunu endorsed Piper’s book…

Lyndon Johnson said he wanted the USS Liberty to sink to the bottom of the Mediterranean even while the Israelis were attacking the ship.,,,

A JFK researcher once wrote that Piper was on to something in his research linking Israel to the assassination of President. But he said that we had to proceed with caution. 👉Because to be accused of anti-Semitism is about the same as being accused of being a child molester.👈

Robert Kennedy was the Attorney General in 1963. He gave the American Zionist Council, the predecessor to AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee), 72 hours to register as a foreign lobby. They formed AIPAC and waited for President Kennedy to be murdered so their legal problems would go away….

Gail Combs

I don not ‘hate Jews’ however I dislike ANY GROUP OF LOBBYISTS especially those from other countries or from trans-national corporations that bribe my countries leaders.
I have ZERO idea of whether any of this stuff is true, but the background I have dug up about the Rothschilds thru the centuries makes me a VERY SUSPICIOUS CAT!🤔

  :wpds_arrow: Another article: Flashback Declassified after 56 years: JFK was engaged in ‘existential’ battle with Israel over its nuclear weapons program

Comment: US-Israeli relations during the Kennedy administration were practically expunged from the official record following his assassination in November 1963. Given what was being quietly fought over – Israel’s acquisition of nukes, and Kennedy’s determined efforts to prevent the gerrymandered statelet from getting them – it’s unsurprising that it has taken over half a century for the picture to emerge in the mainstream media…

In Israel, those in the know saw the situation as a real crisis, as a former high-level science adviser, Prof. Yuval Ne’eman, told one of us (Avner Cohen) 25 years ago. Ne’eman recalled that Eshkol, Ben-Gurion’s successor, and his associates saw Kennedy as presenting Israel with a real ultimatum. There was even one senior Israeli official, Ne’eman told me, the former Israel Air Force commander Maj. Gen. (res.) Dan Tolkowsky, who seriously entertained the fear that Kennedy might send U.S. airborne troops to Dimona, the home of Israel’s nuclear complex.

What was at stake was the future of Israel’s nuclear program. Kennedy, with an exceptionally strong commitment to nuclear nonproliferation, was determined to do all he could to prevent Israel from producing nuclear weapons. Ben-Gurion (and later Eshkol) were equally determined to complete the Dimona project. For them, nuclear capability was an indispensable insurance policy against existential threats to Israel. The exchange between the American president and the two prime ministers illustrates both Kennedy’s tenacity and the Israeli leaders’ recalcitrance.

👉Earlier this week, we published – on the website of the National Security Archive – a collection of nearly 50 American documents from U.S. archives that illuminate for the first time the full scope of this secret American-Israeli confrontation. The collection includes not only the entire exchange of messages between the leaders – Kennedy, Ben-Gurion and Eshkol – but also many related American documents, some of which were declassified and became available only in recent months….

Gail Combs

This is really interesting. Ghost says, Israel News gets a different story from Trump than we do. 1:50:00 He says he has been watching and he is now seeing a pattern. Then Ghost shows an Israeli clip (1 min) from right after Bibi congratulated Biden.

Trump is not very nice and ends with F..K em about Bibi.

Clip is at 1:51:15

Also note Ghost and others are talking about the MI-6 clones, called the CIA and MOSSAD and NOT the people.

If Ghost is correct, MI-6 is what the agents of the British East India Company morphed into after the British Crown yanked their royal charter.

From Brave AI:

The British East India Company (EIC) was a powerful entity that operated under the protection and oversight of the British Crown. While it enjoyed a degree of autonomy, particularly in its early years, the Crown and British government gradually increased their control over the company’s affairs. The EIC was granted a royal charter in 1600, which allowed it to establish a trade monopoly in the Indian Ocean region.4 However, this monopoly was not absolute, and the company faced increasing scrutiny from the British Parliament, which passed several acts to regulate its activities. For example, the Regulating Act of 1773 was enacted to improve the management of the company’s affairs in India and Europe.2

The relationship between the EIC and the British Crown became even more direct after the Indian Rebellion of 1857, which led to the dissolution of the company’s rule in India. The Government of India Act of 1858 transferred the administration of the company’s territories to the British Crown, marking the end of the EIC’s political power.3 The company was formally dissolved in 1874 by the East India Stock Dividend Redemption Act.4

Despite its eventual dissolution, the EIC played a significant role in the expansion of British influence in India and other parts of Asia. The company’s military forces, which were initially independent, were eventually absorbed into the British Army, further integrating the EIC into the broader framework of British imperial administration.3 The Crown’s control over the EIC was reinforced by various acts of Parliament, which limited the company’s autonomy and ensured that its operations aligned with British national interests.5

In summary, while the British East India Company operated with a degree of independence in its early years, it was always subject to the authority of the British Crown and Parliament. The company’s eventual dissolution in 1874 marked the end of its role as a private enterprise and the full integration of its territories into the British Empire.

Be a laugh if the good stuff was already stashed safely in China…

“China has sent transport planes to Iran after Israel launched attacks, The Telegraph reports. A cargo plane took off from China on Friday, the day after Israel’s strike on Iran. The next day, the second plane took off from the coastal city. On Monday – another one, this time from Shanghai. According to tracking data, each plane flew west through northern China, then crossed Kazakhstan, descended through Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan — and disappeared from radar as it approached Iran. The flight plan listed Luxembourg as the final destination, but the aircraft apparently never approached European skies. According to aviation experts, the Boeing 747s used are typically used to transport military equipment and weapons.

TheseTruths

I think the trouble some people have (and I’m not speaking for anyone in particular or anyone at all) is that they don’t think people see the faults of Israel.

Then it becomes a never-ending spiral of back-and-forth, just like the wars in the Middle East. “If only Israel hadn’t done ____, but they did it because Iran did ____, which was retaliating because of ____,” etc.

Some people see fault on both sides. Some people think Israel has not always been a friend to the U.S. even though we give them unending support, and they provide evidence of that. Some think we should support Israel no matter what. Some say we should support Israel because Iran is a barbaric country that chants “Death to Israel” and “Death to America.” That last one seems like reason enough to keep them from having nuclear power.

In my case Israel is mostly irrelevant to the Iran situation.

Iran has been at war with us since 1979 and it’s time we fucking realized it.

So being anti-Iran makes you a neocon?

If that’s what passes for logic inside your brain pan, I don’t give a flying fuck what you think.

May you should post more about meaningless subjects like flat earth and stay in your safe space. 😉

I have enjoyed and learned from the flat earth posts.

Ok, seriously. You have become a real asshole over the last couple of weeks, and I for one am sick of it.

Get over it, or go take a long run off a short pier.

Gail, several startling statements have been made by various people in this thread, and I want to give you the opportunity to explain what you mean (if you see this and are so inclined) because I don’t understand. Was that a joke? I would have thought the impression to be that a lot of people were “rooting for Israel” or at least rooting against Iran. Are you referring to Israel as terrorists?

3:03 AM Israel Time (use clock in video picture) Incoming Missile Alert. Will update with more information. Lookner says Anderson Cooper is going to a bomb shelter… 😉

para59r

Multiple Rockets Tel Aviv. Sirens now.

para59r

Nothing got through. Still no number on number of missiles. Now said only 1 Missile launched and intercepted. Sirens have stopped. Israel has been conducting sporadic bombings and strafing’s through out the day over Teheran. Anderson Cooper is still in his bomb shelter. Home Front Command says Anderson Cooper can now leave his bomb shelter. \😁/

First missile alert in 19 hrs.

Are these people trying to get away from Anderson Cooper…

I’m surprised he was allowed into a bomb shelter. Lots of tweets out there with Israelis not allowing foreigners into their shelters.

Sampler

Even this vid is suspect. Looks like he found an empty hall to speak from. Where are the Israelis in this this vid? How does this work? Did they even let him in? 😆

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

That first one is interesting (assuming it isn’t an outright lie) because there are actually Arab citizens of Israel; the only thing they’re not allowed to do that Jews can do, is serve in the military. Were they too kept out of bomb shelters?

My understanding is that Arab citizens of Israel are allowed to serve in the military.

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

OK, either my memory is mistaken, or it is out of date.

I wouldn’t want to share a foxhole with Anderson Cooper.

Actually, he might just stop the bullet meant for you if the enemy has sufficiently bad aim.

[DS]/China Fighting Back,Trump Drops The Hammer,Peace Through Strength,World Is Watching – Ep. 3670
 June 22, 2025  x22report

Trump wants the green tax credits removed, energy should not be subsidized by the government. This was only in place for [DS]/[CB] agenda. The [CB] is trying to push the oil prices up by shutting the Strait of Hormuz, this will fail because the oil fields in Alaska are opening up. Trump puts the spotlight on the Federal Reserve and calls them out. The [DS]/China are trying to fight back, this will not work, Trump has removed the ability for foreign [DS] nations to receive intelligence, Trump can hit them at any time. Trump is now sending a message to the [DS] to surrender and he wants the people of Iran to rise up and take back their country. Peace through strength. The world is watching.

Part of a post from 16 hours ago…

“In this operation, for the first time, the Kheibar Shekan ballistic missile with multiple warheads, from the third generation of the IRGC Aerospace Force missiles, was used. Employing new and surprise tactics for more precise, destructive, and effective strikes. Ben Gurion Airport, the biological research center of the Israeli regime, and alternative command and control centers were targeted in this wave by guided missiles equipped with maneuverable warheads for enhanced precision”

Wondering if the previous twitter breaking news may be regime change psyops.
For a guy who is “reported” to have resigned he seems to be still having some sort of role.

But BUT, BUT, Iran moved the enriched uranium before MOABs delivered.

Newly released satellite imagery showcases aftermath of “bunker-buster” bombs on Iran’s Fordow nuclear facility

https://www.oann.com/newsroom/newly-released-satellite-imagery-showcases-aftermath-of-bunker-buster-bombs-on-irans-fordow-nuclear-facility/

Yea, I don’t know ground truth. Seriously doubt enriched uranium was recently moved, without Israeli knowing about it.

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

And we’re not going to know it for a while. “Newly released satellite imagery” doesn’t actually appear in that article.

For wasting my time with a lie of a headline, OANN, you get zero points.

para59r

Not really sure what you mean by “Newly released satellite imagery” The imagery is alleged to come from about 4 days back now (19th/20th). I don’t think it’s ever been sourced or at least I don’t recall it (Maxar Imagery out of Egypt last tweet), though it has been questioned as that dump trucks would never be used to move sensitive equipment. That might be questionable given that Iran has been under heavy air attack well before the alleged image, that site already bombed previous, so anything might of been used to grab what was there (not being picky).

Further more recent images have been shown of the BDA so imagery being available should not be a question. Not sure if that was what you meant. Sort of doubt it.

Interesting that tin eye has not picked up on that image yet. Perhaps giving indication of control or manipulation over tine eye. This image is from 16hrs ago. Well enough time for tin eye to pick it up especially since you can easily add 24 hrs to it. I’ve tried several others and tin eye still says it’s bots are still crawling around the internets looking for stuff.

Earliest photo to twitter that I found after a lazy search was 22 hrs ago.

para59r

Personally I’m thinking the “one off theory” might be something of a ruse to keep MAGA linked together. Your not helping 😆

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

The link I clicked on said “newly released satellite imagery showcases aftermath…etc., etc.

The article showed no fucking imagery whatsoever, not even old imagery.

singingsoul1

Media is on there deception program. Nothing t see there truth look here deception.
i am not falling for the rubbish. Glad to be here. 🤓

para59r

The problem might be your computer or connection. This is the image the story connects to at the bottom of the page. The writing is in Spanish.

Translated it says

New high-resolution images, captured on June 21, 2025, suggest that Iran was preparing the Fordow nuclear facility for an attack. Trucks and excavators were observed filling the entrance tunnels to the nuclear facility with earth.

Note. the June 21 date is in contradiction to others story’s using 19-20 June.

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

But even this is isn’t the POST bombing image the link promised.

Which if it’s an OANN link, ought to be in the article, not some tweet they linked to. Or do they do nothing but report peoples’ tweets?

Oh thought that was about the trucks. Okay, anyway, lots of post bombing pics on the internets and they are as every bit as confusing as the truck pics. Good luck!

Yes I’d read that about filling the entrances of the tunnels yesterday somewhere can’t remember where.

I guess the “Dems not briefed” accusation was a lie too.

yes, this was covered in previous stories that they were notified.

I have used Google for many years, and have good Google-fu skills. Used to research 3 ebooks and science behind several issued basic materials patents.

I find the newish AI generated Google search query summaries to be a nice time saver, although one still has to specifically double check everything.
