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.”
What God Wants
What does God want from me? The people in the prophet Micah’s day complained that God was never satisfied. They snidely asked, “Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams, with ten thousand rivers of olive oil?” (Micah 6:7). It was their way of asking, “What does God want from us, anyway?” Some people today feel like all their striving to please God goes for nothing, and they, too, ask, “What does God want from me?”
Jesus was asked once which commandment of the Law was the greatest. He answered, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these” (Mark 12:30–32; cf. Matthew 22:37–39). What God wants is really quite simple: He wants us. All our service for God must flow from those two commands to love, or it is not real service; it is fleshly effort. And Romans 8:8 says that those who are “in the flesh cannot please God.”
First, God wants us to trust in His Son as Savior and Lord (Philippians 2:9–11). Second Peter 3:9 says, “The Lord . . . is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.” We come to know Jesus through repenting of our sin and accepting Him as our personal sacrifice (Romans 10:9; John 1:12). When Jesus’ disciples asked Him to show them the Father, He replied, “Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father” (John 14:9). God wants us to know Him, and we can only know Him through Jesus.
Next, God wants us to “become conformed to the image of His Son” (Romans 8:29). The Father wants all of His children to be like Jesus. He brings situations into our lives to refine us and chip away those flawed characteristics that are in the way of our becoming who He designed us to be (Hebrews 12:7; James 1:12). As Jesus was obedient to the Father in everything, so the goal of every child of God should be to obey our Heavenly Father (John 8:29). First Peter 1:14–15 says, “As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance. But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do.”
Many people, like the Pharisees in Jesus’ day, try to put the external action before the inner heart change (Luke 11:42). They place all the focus on what they do rather than who they are. But, unless love for God is our motivation, outward displays of goodness only result in pride and legalism. Neither pleases God. When we surrender ourselves totally to Him, His Holy Spirit empowers us to love God fully and serve Him from the right motive. True service and holiness are simply the outworking of the Spirit, the overflowing of a life dedicated to the glory of God. When our focus is on loving God rather than simply serving Him, we end up doing both. If we skip the relationship, our service is of no use and benefits nothing (1 Corinthians 13:1–2).
What does God want from me? The prophet Micah responded to the Israelites’ complaint that they didn’t know what God wanted from them. The prophet says, “He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with God?” (Micah 6:8, ESV). God’s desire for us is very simple. People complicate things, tacking on rules and man-made laws that ensure frustration and kill the joy in following Christ (2 Corinthians 3:6). God wants us to love Him with all our hearts and let our obedience stem from a heartfelt desire to be pleasing in His sight.
David understood what God wanted when he prayed, “You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it; you do not take pleasure in burnt offerings. My sacrifice, O God, is a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart you, God, will not despise” (Psalm 51:16–17).
What does God want me to do? For a variety of reasons. We may be facing a big life decision and truly want to follow God’s plan. Or we may be searching for God and believe that there are steps to follow or rules to keep in order to find Him. Or we may ask, “What does God want me to do?” because we can’t find purpose or meaning in our lives and suspect that God is keeping it from us. Whatever motivates the question, the Bible has answers when we are wondering what God wants us to do.
When asking what God wants me to do, remember that we are not human doings. We were created in God’s image as human beings to communicate and walk in harmony with Him (Genesis 1:27). Doing is the result of being. Birds sing because they are birds; they do not sing in order to become birds. They sing, fly, and feather their nests because of who they are. So what God really wants is for all our doings to emanate from our being. He has no interest in grudging actions that have no connection with our hearts (Psalm 51:16–17; 1 Samuel 15:22; Micah 6:6–8). Whatever we do for God must come from a place of overflowing love, worship, and surrender (Hosea 6:6; 12:6).
The first thing God wants us to do is to accept His offer of salvation. We are hopeless in our sin and cannot be good enough to overcome our sin and enter His presence. That’s why Jesus came into the world to take the punishment we deserve (2 Corinthians 5:21). When we put our faith in Christ’s death and resurrection, we can fulfill our purpose of knowing and glorifying God (Romans 6:1–6). God takes on the job of transforming us so that we become more like Jesus (Romans 8:29). So the first answer to the question what does God want me to do? is to receive His Son, Jesus, as Lord and begin the journey of faith.
Secondly, after we are saved, what God wants us to do is “grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ” (2 Peter 3:18). When God adopts us into His family (Romans 8:15), we begin a new relationship with Him that affects every aspect of our lives. Rather than making decisions to please ourselves, we make decisions that will please the Lord (1 Corinthians 10:31). Those decisions will be supported by the Bible, affirmed through godly counsel, and acted on through the power of the Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:16, 25).
A quick checklist of things God wants us to do is found in Micah 6:8, which says, “He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with God.”
Acting justly requires that we live with a sense of right and wrong and deal honestly and fairly with those around us. Jesus said we should not judge by appearances, “but judge with right judgment” (John 7:24). To do what God wants us to do, we must give everyone what is due them, we must live truthfully, and we must never oppress or exploit anyone. We should treat other people as fairly as we like to be treated (Matthew 7:12).
Loving mercy means we offer another chance to someone who does not deserve it. To do what God wants us to do, we must follow Jesus’ example in mercy; He was eager to show mercy toward anyone who repented (John 8:10–11; Luke 23:42–43). Like Jesus, we must forgive those who sin against us (Matthew 18:23–35). We should rejoice when someone is shown mercy, remembering how much mercy God has shown us (Luke 6:35–36).
We walk humbly with God by seeking His blessing and approval on our life decisions. God does not become merely a part of our lives, He IS our life (Galatians 2:20). To do what God wants us to do, we grow in our faith, continuing to surrender more and more areas of our lives to His control. We daily deny ourselves, take up our crosses, and follow Him (Luke 9:23). Only when we keep our sins confessed (1 John 1:9) and our lives free from idolatry, worldliness, and compromise (1 John 5:21) can we walk humbly with our God.
God wants us to impact our world with His message, the gospel. Jesus answered the question what does God want me to do? just before He ascended back into heaven. We call His words the Great Commission: “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age” (Matthew 28:19–20). We make disciples by investing all that God has given us in the lives of other people so that they, too, become all they were created to be. When we focus on who we are in Christ and study the Scriptures, we will know what God wants us to do.
One of the most popular verses among both Jews and Christians promoting social justice is Micah 6:8. It reads, “He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with God.” Many desire to know more about what this inspiring verse teaches on the issues of justice, mercy, and humility.
Micah 6 involves an imaginary conversation between the Lord and Israel. In verses 1-5 the Lord introduces His case against the disobedient people of Israel. Verses 6-7 record Israel’s response as a series of questions beginning with, “With what shall I come to the Lord?” (Micah 6:6).
Israel’s focus is on their external religious rites, and their questions show a progression from lesser to greater. First, they ask if God would be satisfied with burnt offerings of year-old calves (Micah 6:6b), offerings required in the Law of Moses. Second, they ask if they should bring “thousands of rams, with ten thousands of rivers of oil” (Micah 6:7a). This is the rhetoric of hyperbole; such an offering could only be made by someone extremely wealthy or by the larger community of God’s people. Third, they ask whether they should offer their firstborn sons as a sacrifice for God. Would that be enough to cover their sin? Would God be pleased with them then?
Verse 8 follows with God’s answer, rooted in the Law of Moses: “He has told you, O man, what is good.” In other words, Israel should already have known the answer to their questions. God then says that He did not need or desire their religious rites, sacrifices, or oblations. Instead, the Lord sought Israel’s justice, mercy, and humility.
The answer to Israel’s sin problem was not more numerous or more painful sacrifices. The answer was something much deeper than any religious observance: they needed a change of heart. Without the heart, Israel’s conformity to the Law was nothing more than hypocrisy. Other prophets tried to communicate a similar message (Isaiah 1:14; Hosea 6:6; Amos 5:21). Unfortunately, God’s people were slow to heed the message (Matthew 12:7).
“Act justly” would have been understood by Micah’s audience as living with a sense of right and wrong. In particular, the judicial courts had a responsibility to provide equity and protect the innocent. Injustice was a problem in Israel at that time (Micah 2:1-2; 3:1-3; 6:11).
“Love mercy” contains the Hebrew word hesed, which means “loyal love” or “loving-kindness.” Along with justice, Israel was to provide mercy. Both justice and mercy are foundational to God’s character (Psalm 89:14). God expected His people to show love to their fellow man and to be loyal in their love toward Him, just as He had been loyal to them (Micah 2:8-9; 3:10-11; 6:12).
“Walk humbly” is a description of the heart’s attitude toward God. God’s people depend on Him rather than their own abilities (Micah 2:3). Instead of taking pride in what we bring to God, we humbly recognize that no amount of personal sacrifice can replace a heart committed to justice and love. Israel’s rhetorical questions had a three-part progression, and verse 8 contains a similar progression. The response of a godly heart is outward (do justice), inward (love mercy), and upward (walk humbly).
The message of Micah is still pertinent today. Religious rites, no matter how extravagant, can never compensate for a lack of love (1 Corinthians 13:3). External compliance to rules is not as valuable in God’s eyes as a humble heart that simply does what is right. God’s people today will continue to desire justice, mercy, and humility before the Lord.
A great lesson! Thank you!
And now for something completely different!
That was fun. Great memories living in Japan.
I’ve heard that another favorite cover of darn near everybody is Don’t Fence Me In.
“Don’t Fence Me In”.
Common thought in NV, outside of Vegas and Reno areas.
Used in tourism ads and local merchandise. T-shirts, bumper snickers, vanity plates and such.
I wonder if it’s common in other countries for there to be so many songs penned about the love of their home?
100% happens.
TY
I am still sad when I think of all the songs that John could have written if not for his untimely death. Of favorite song of his, of late, is “All of My Memories”.
Bill Danoff and Taffy Nivert, a husband/wife duo known as Fat City, wrote Country Roads, which John Denver “tuned” and popularized. They also wrote “Afternoon Delight” after expanding their group to four singers and renaming it “Starland Vocal Band”…
West Virginia and Appalachia are just about the most beautiful places on Earth… sad to say, among the poorest, as well. Seems that those features go together… Ireland is up there, too…..
SD gets this important reality.
Got it right.
But wait ’til we find out what Vlad has been holding from his little foray in the Russian-speaking provinces. Remember, that’s where the bio-labs were. We can only guess what they were doing but a good guess is trying to create a virus that only works on Russian DNA.
End result: USA is caught naked committing crimes against humanity and the only official who can say he had no part of it is now running the country.
In short, only DJT’s official apology can be [and will be] believed and accepted.
Great story, eh?
Interesting times demand interesting stories!
Conspiracy theories must be true. 😂
I do wonder if we’ll ever hear the truth about the biolabs in Ukraine. Anywhere for that matter.
Oh, no worries; all sins that are hidden will be revealed.
It’s in the Scriptures. 😤 😇
Matthew 10:26-28:
26 Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.
27 What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops.
28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
Early on it was mentioned that there were 27 biolabs in Ukraine. I think Vlad mentioned it in a speech, and it was discussed here, as well.
The speech was buried in short order, but some folks (Chiefio among them) kept copies of the text in English… RT probably has it in their archives but folks here in BDD can’t get to it…
I think Ukraine is the swamp to contain all swamps…
I have been waiting and hoping for just this.
I think Putin has told Trump everything. I just don’t know what Trump will do with the information.
Depends on what type of EVIDENCE is available.
I want to see these Satanic Sadists SWING.
18 U.S. Code § 175 – Prohibitions with respect to biological weapons
Sounds like Fauxi etc. have wiggle room there…sigh… 
Just remember – all those ladies decked out in their finery around the 1870s to 1910s weren’t defenseless.
They had hatpins and/or hairpins. Any guy dumb enough to fondle was close enough to get pinned. Some of them were 4 inches long. Lots of internal body damage can be done with a 4 inch needle.
DJT metaphorically does the same thing. He looks and acts ‘available’ but he ain’t defenseless.
I have seen antique hatpins that had to be 7-8 inches! Those things were dangerous!
It would take a LONG pin to hold a hat on a Gibson Girl. Look at that hair!
That could put a hole in a perp right quick!
And very few were repeat offenders. 😂
You know!!!! Few people know about a hatpin’s ‘other’ duty. 😉

Fascinating.
And THIS type of Schiff is why I said the USA is considered a ‘baddie’ by people in other countries.
Iran Kerry. Plus daughter…
They ALL do it.
Yup. Glad he has put this forward. Of course we knew this long ago. The more the normie and sheeple learn about it the better.
This is just – well, it’s AI music – but DAYUM.
HAHAHAHAHA
This is so awesome!
Surprisingly so!
That was OUTSTANDING!
Moves me to tears…. The words, which publius wrote, and the AI music… says it all…
The left’s side of history, the “Left-hand Path” is HELL, with Satan as their leader.
Ephesians 6:10-18:
10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
Wow!
AI is really good at averaging things – including “what works”!
Can this PLEASE go so viral that it breaks the Internet?
More where that came from!
So I went to Sprouts to get a deli sandwich for dinner tonight, and ended up talking to a guy. He was wearing a jacket that said “HP Enterprise” and “STORAGE” on it.
He started out with how much he likes their sandwiches, and I identified my own as a #6 with no veggies. He recalled a project he did in Rochester, NY with winter-grown hydroponic tomatoes and how they were so much more appealing than imported tomatoes, which I commented were likely picked green and ripened with ethylene.
We went round and round on botany, including tomato soil planting tips and growing orchids in bark (they like having a square of banana peel in their pots).
This took a natural detour into growing carnivorous plants, but my sandwich was ready and we went our separate ways.
Thinking about it hours later, I probably should have grilled him on networked storage, but he seemed to enjoy unwinding with something not work-related.
I did, however, tell him that my parents had five STEM degrees between them and I was an accountant. He allowed that this was a worthwhile lifestyle choice and I told him that my niece was a pharmacist and was making bank. I then noted that the people who really made serious money were all doing the same thing…..and, after some cogitation, his first guess was accurate — sales.
Tomatoes like banana peels, too. The calcium helps prevent blossom end rot.
My weirdest planting tip is to put a square of busted-up drywall into the hole when you plant a rose. The gypsum makes the roses happy.
Fascinating! I’ll remember that! So roses like calcium and sulfate. Noted!
This image (prompted) shows how low to the ground the plane that hit the firetruck was, by showing it next to a much larger Boeing 767 passenger jet.
I had wondered about this, why the front of the plane hit the fire truck instead of going right over it, with the truck impacting the bottom of the fuselage. This explains it.
Also, right after the plane size comparison, they talk about the phenomenon of something moving very fast being hard to judge from the fire truck’s perspective, when it’s coming more or less right at you.
Anyone who has been to one of the high speed NASCAR races, like Talladega or Daytona, has experienced this.
If you are standing near the wall/fence of the track, looking down the track at the pack of cars coming toward you, it’s almost unbelievable how fast those race cars approach you and blow past you, going 190+ mph.
I haven’t seen the part about how the flight attendant survived yet, it must be toward the end.
.
Edit: I can’t make it go to the right spot. No matter how I change it, when I click to watch it, it takes about 18 seconds to get to the image. I don’t know why. The part I’m trying to prompt the video to begin at is at the 11:50 mark.
.
The plane was NOT taking off; it was landing. That’s why the fire truck didn’t see it [whether he looked or not].
The plane was above where he looked. Not sure why everybody seems to have gotten onto this kick of ‘plane taking off’. Right after it happened, I heard the news describe it as a commuter jet landing at La Guardia.
🙃
IMO the guy was just using take-off videos for reference about perspective, since videos of planes taking off OVER the camera are much more plentiful than videos of planes landing into the camera. Furthermore, even if the plane is moving at constant velocity or slowing down slightly, the misleading perspective of the plane coming straight-on to the view of the truck should still have been fully operative.
His point about the angling of the truck to the plane make a lot of sense, IMO. It was damn near the worst possible angle for the driver. Close to a blind spot.
“The plane was NOT taking off; it was landing. That’s why the fire truck didn’t see it [whether he looked or not].”
______________
I know it was not taking off, it was landing.
And I had forgotten that humans are not able to look upwards beyond the horizontal plane of their eye sockets 😁
I apologize if my comment seemed to be directed to you.
It was not intended as such.
😥 🛩
It’s all good, I didn’t know if it was directed at anyone in particular, but no harm either way, just havin’ fun! 👍 😁
Rubio Memes has an X account?
IMO, this is stupid not funny leftist effort to insult the best SoS evah.
Could be, but we are happy warriors and we are enjoying every bit of fun we find. 😂
This song, from my youth, has helped me remember that important verse PTL
Jihadiwood the same as Palawood.
YUP.
Thank you, Carl!!! AMEN!!!
A few weeks back. Recall two KC-135s collide over Iraq.
Captain Steve provides insights.
Knowing nothing about flying, my guess is slight change in “hand off” procedure, will prevent a like disaster.
Six Airman that perished, are heroes.
So very good, Carl. Well done, brother.
It is and has always been about the heart. The Lord knows our hearts. He knows if we want a relationship with Him or not.
He knows even when we don’t.
Amen. The patience he has shown me over all these years is extremely humbling.
Me, too, TB.

Verse of the Day for Sunday, March 29, 2026
✟
“And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.”
John 6:35 (KJV)
COMMENTARY FOR JOHN 6:35
Five thousand miraculously fed. (1-14) Jesus walks on the sea. (15-21) He directs to spiritual food. (22-27) His discourse with the multitude. (28-65) Many of disciples go back. (66-71)
28-35 Constant exercise of faith in Christ, is the most important and difficult part of the obedience required from us, as sinners seeking salvation. When by his grace we are enabled to live a life of faith in the Son of God, holy tempers follow, and acceptable services may be done. God, even his Father, who gave their fathers that food from heaven to support their natural lives, now gave them the true Bread for the salvation of their souls. Coming to Jesus, and believing on him, signify the same. Christ shows that he is the true Bread; he is to the soul what bread is to the body, nourishes and supports the spiritual life. He is the Bread of God. Bread which the Father gives, which he has made to be the food of our souls. Bread nourishes only by the powers of a living body; but Christ is himself living Bread, and nourishes by his own power. The doctrine of Christ crucified is now as strengthening and comforting to a
believer as ever it was. He is the Bread which came down from heaven. It denotes the Divinity of Christ’s person and his authority; also, the Divine origin of all the good which flows to us through him. May we with understanding and earnestness say, Lord, evermore give us this Bread.
Commentary by Matthew Henry, 1710.

Thank You, Jesus, for blessings received and prayers answered !!!
WE ARE FIGHTING A SPIRITUAL WAR OF GOOD VERSUS EVIL
PRAYING ON THE ARMOR OF GOD
Father God, I now follow your command to put on the full armor of God, because my battle is not against flesh and blood but against rulers, authorities, the powers of this dark world and against spiritual forces of evil in the unseen world.
I first pray on the Belt of Truth that it may be buckled around my waist, may I be centered and encircled by your truth dear Lord. Hem me inside all that is true and right, and may I be protected and held up by the truth of your living word, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Breastplate of righteousness, please protect my vital organs and my inner man, cover my integrity, my spirit, and my soul. Guard my heart for it is the wellspring of life, please strengthen and guard the most vulnerable places in my life with that which is right, good, and noble that I might not receive a fatal blow from the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Gospel Shoes of Peace. I choose to stand in the shoes of your good news, and on the firm foundation of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the solid eternal rock. All other ground is sinking sand, I pray that I will not slip or fall, but that my feet would be firmly fitted on your lordship, my Lord Jesus. I choose to stand on you, so that the peace of God, which transcends all understanding will guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus, the eternal Rock of Ages. I receive your holy peace now my Lord, from the sole of my feet to the crown of my head, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray the Shield of Faith into my hand now. As I take up the shield of faith, I ask that you might extinguish every dart and arrow that is launched from the enemy to take me down spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally, and every attempt of the enemy to destroy my joy. I ask that my faith in you would make it flame out. Extinguish every flaming arrow that would come against me, my life, my family, my home, or my ministry. May my faith always be out in front of me like a shield. Give me the courage to “faith my fears” by choosing to walk by faith and not by sight, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Helmet of Salvation, that you might protect my mind from the thoughts that can lead me astray. I choose to take every thought captive, and arrest all intentioned ideas and motives that would harm others, or distract me from your holy will for me. I submit every captured thought to the Lordship of my Lord Jesus Christ, and ask that you would imprison those thoughts that are not of you my Lord. Transform my mind and renew my thinking that I may think God thoughts, and have a sober mind that is focused on your glory. Please protect me from being double minded that I may allow my mind, I reject to live an earthly life, because I choose to live a holy one, governed by you My Lord Jesus, the prince of peace, please have my mind to be saturated with the holy mind of Christ, in my Lord Jesus name.
Finally, I take up the Sword of the Spirit which is the holy word of God, I pray this powerful offensive weapon into my hand, and ask that your holy word would be fitting for every encounter I face. As the enemy gets close to me, please give me the insight, wisdom, and skill to wield the word of God to drive away the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
May the enemy and his team flee from me, upon hearing the word of God spoken by the power and direction of the Holy Spirit. Give me the sword of the spirit to cut through the wiles of the devil, so that I may discern the schemes of the enemy when he is near.
With all kinds of prayers, supplication, and intercession I pray to you my Lord God as the one who fights my battles. Now that I’m in your holy powerful armor, I walk away covered and ready to face my day as you go before me, and please protect me in the midst of the spiritual warfare in this unseen world, in my Lord Jesus name.
Thank you my Lord, for the spiritual weapons of armor and prayer that you have given me. It is written no weapon formed against me shall prosper, and you will refute every tongue that accuses me.
Thank you Father God, my Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit, that I am more than a conqueror in my Lord Jesus. I pray all of this in the mighty name of my Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ, Amen.

Watch o’er Thy Church, O Lord, in mercy,Save it from evil, guard it still,Perfect it in love, unite it,Cleansed and conformed unto Thy will.As grain, once scattered on the hillsides,Was in this broken bread made one,So from all lands Thy church be gatheredInto Thy kingdom by Thy Son.

HAVE A VERY BLESSED DAY !!! ❤️❤️❤️
Ordinarily I dismiss this stuff about “aliens,” but this is from Tim Burchett!
“A Republican congressman is raising alarms after a string of scientists tied to UFO research and advanced technologies have died or vanished under mysterious circumstances, just as the Trump administration moves toward releasing long-classified UFO files.
https://slaynews.com/news/congressman-issues-alert-top-scientists-found-dead-testifying-ufo-files/
Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) warned this week that the pattern is too serious to ignore.
“Something dark is going on,” Burchett said during an appearance on The Benny Show.”
I find it very interesting, but I am of the opinion that what we call “aliens” are supernatural spiritual beings of some sort. Maybe not demons, as J.D. Vance believes, but something.
I think we “discovered” them in the 1940’s. I think the government didn’t understand what they were for a long time. When they finally figured it out, the powers-that-be had become secular enough, and the country had gotten so far from God, that they couldn’t/wouldn’t tell us.
I think the disappearances are because Satan and his minions REALLY want to hide from us whatever these beings are. They are either minions themselves doing evil things, OR they are some angelic type of entity which would lead the world to instant revival.
Quite plausible. Likely? Who knows?
I agree, there is much We the People do not know. Much is hidden to keep the public from panicking.
I will continue to point to The Word. As you are aware, Dr. Michael Heiser’s work about the Divine Council in the Unseen Realm reveals much in scripture with the Bible as its basis. What he references is not the only plausible answer to the dilemma that has been presented with this subject. There could be other alternative explanations. But when one understands that the origin of man as presented in Genesis is indeed, truth, one realizes the rest of the story is as well.
IMVHO…they wouldn’t be demons or angels. Neither of those would require space craft to travel. I think they had/have superior knowledge of interstellar movement and possibly time travel that threatens the God complex crowd who prefers to control things instead of learn things. It’s the MO of demonic humans to murder anyone or destroy anything that interferes with their plans. My 2 cents
Good thoughts. I think you’re onto it.
Very much agreed that things requiring physical objects to move through space/time cannot be demons or angels per se – BUT those beings could (IMVHO) be (like humans) hosts, agents, allies, or minions of such spiritual entities.
I believe that life can likely develop broadly across the universe, and almost certainly be transported and seeded throughout the universe, moving from one working planet to another with similar chemistry. I also tend to believe that life discovers its purpose to assist in this process, as almost a form of mathematical self-consistency.
That has implications. Combine these things, and poles will develop around the question of the existence of and obedience to “God” in whatever language that idea appears.
Stated more crudely, some of “them” work for God, others don’t. All of that compounded by questions of the God concept itself.
I used to debate whether we’re a wilderness or a farm. The point where those are the same picture is likely the answer.
At a high level, Genesis is too correct for its time. I think the detailed explanation of that brings us close to the reality.
There are certain complications that we are not being told about. The Deep State finds both legitimate purpose in continuity of long responses to complex realities, AND the temptation to keep secrets that probably should no longer be kept.
And add in problematic presences already here, I suspect.
Interesting times will continue after we are gone. And wherever we are going, it should be no less interesting. 💖 🙏
Well said and thought out simply. I’ve also considered the wilderness or farm idea.
If we believe that God created the universe and that the intent was the same for all of the beings in the universe to reflect God’s values through free will I guess if the account of demons banished from His presence is true they could’ve invaded anywhere in the universe.
It’s all way above my pay grade!
We don’t know that they do require space craft to travel. We only know what we see reported about space “craft.” But so much of what is real and what isn’t is not really revealed by the government. What about the “wheels within wheels with eyes” in the Ezekiel? That doesn’t sound like anything that would appear remotely recognizable to us.
I just don’t think we are allowed to know much. And I think governments would rather the public believe in extraterrestrial beings far more than they want us to have faith in God and things that affirm Him. Atheists and people with no hope of anything after this place are far, far easier to control.
What about the “wheels within wheels with eyes” in the Ezekiel?
Just as an illustration, dial up some youtube train videos and look at the mechanism that connects and turns the locomotive wheels. When I first read that part in Ezekiel, locomotive wheels is the mind pic I got.
Interesting!
I am right there with you Aubergine.
My only possible positive thought would be if those scientists are being taken under some kind of protection for what is coming.
I suspect that just like the temptation in the Garden and the angels cohabiting with the sons of men, there have been demonic forces teaching men to make war in more and more efficient ways through out history. May God deliver us from evil.
BKC, Micah 6:8 has been, for many years, a guidepost to the question that Micah answers, “What does God want of me?” The other point that the author emphasizes is that such direction as Micah gives is a way of being not a way of doing. In my opinion such perspectives require a change of heart, not just a change on my to do list. Sound teaching for Palm Sunday. It is probably the best sermon we will hear today.
10 Benefits of Mixing Hydrogen Peroxide & Dawn Dish Soap (Number 3 is a Life Saver)
2 parts 3% peroxide to 1 part Dawn apparently works wonders 🙂
It tastes good too! (NOT)
One time I’d spritzed some Dawn on my trusty all purpose oven pan intending to wash it later. Forgot about it. Next afternoon grabbed old trusty, plopped some chicken breasts on to bake . YUM.. started eating and kept thinking what the heck is this spice I must’ve thrown on…LOL finally it came to me. Yep, the dawn.
😬
Eventually it Dawned on you what had happened 😀
Dawn is also a fantastic fluid for blowing bubbles! We used to do that when our son was really young… makes very strong, stable, colorful bubbles… and, yep, not for human consumption, no doubt 🙂

Overton @overton_news
Mask off moment.
Speaker Mike Johnson QUESTIONS whether Senate Republicans actually read the bill they passed to the House before heading on recess.
Johnson then turned to the cameras and read a jaw-dropping section aloud for the media.
JOHNSON: “This gambit that was done last night is a JOKE.”
“I’m quite convinced that it can’t be that every Senate Republican read the language of this bill, and I’m going to just read you one excerpt of it, because it’s pretty alarming, and it says everything that you need to know.”
“In section four…this is on page two of the bill….”
“It says, ‘The contents printed under the headings of this bill, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and border security operations under the heading of US Customs and Border Patrol and Protection shall have no force or effect for purposes of this act and amounts specified in the final bill under the subheading border security operation, and under the heading U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and under the headings of US Immigration and Customs enforcement, in the Department of Homeland Security shall be…ZERO.’”
“We’re not doing that.”…….
“I think we’re gonna’ need some new material, Chuck.”
As I understand it, there are two parts to funding ICE and Border Patrol: Enforcement (agents) and Operations (administration).
The BBB funded the agents but not HQ. They can arrest all they want, but there is no money at HQ to detain or process them. Clearly, this was done on purpose for this moment.
As I read it, Thune’s 3 am Zombie Bill defunds both Operations and Enforcement for both ICE and BP. But even if its just Operations alone, they’re still crippled.
But the purpose of the bill is not to become Law, which PDT would never sign anyway, but to thwart PDT’s Executive Order to pay the agents. Once the Senate passes something, it is said that a president has much less standing to do so.
And the Filibuster let’s Traitor Thune claim he had no other option than to enact the satanic priorities of Democrats.
But the truth is, those are his priorities, too. Schumer and Thune are PARTNERS, both paid by the same wicked Nephilim Mafia to destroy America, while playing “Republicans versus Democrats” for the rubes. That’s you. And me. But mostly you.
I think they want to engineer a terrorist event with Barack Obiden’s Terror Cells and try to pin it on President Trump for this ICE Funding Debacle and the Iran Action. We pray against that in Jesus’ Mighty Name!
But the important thing is that people WAKE UP and realize both Left Twix and Right Twix are trying to enslave us for the Wicked Lizard Overlord Pervert Pedophile Mafia. We rebuke such in the Name Above All Names, Yeshua Jesus our King, Amen!
Psalm 2
1 Why do the heathen rage, and the people devise a vain thing?
2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord and against His Anointed, saying,
3 “Let us break Their bonds asunder, and cast away Their cords from us.”
4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh; the Lord shall hold them in derision.
We stand on Your Holy Word, Lord, Amen!

BTW. No one but Thune knew what was in that funding bill, or whatever they passed.
This is the kind of garbage that justifies no taxation without representation.

GROKThoughts on Iran’s Radioactive Material
The task of collecting all of the highly radioactive material stashed in various locations around Iran is a fairly impossible exercise. The bad guys have had sufficient time to collect a whole bunch of it themselves and to squirrel it away in a wealth of locations both in Iran and in other countries. We need it collected so that the bad guys can’t make dirty conventional bombs that would contaminate large areas of populated real estate in a variety of world cities. Your thoughts?
GROK:
Collecting or fully securing every scrap of highly radioactive material tied to Iran’s nuclear program (or scattered globally) is effectively impossible under current realities. The “bad guys”—whether elements of the Iranian regime, its proxies, or opportunistic non-state actors—have had years (decades, really) to disperse, hide, or preposition material across Iran and beyond. Let me break this down factually, without sugarcoating.
Iran’s Specific Stockpile and the Current Mess
Before the June 2025 strikes damaged key sites (Natanz, Fordow, Isfahan), the IAEA tracked roughly 440 kg of uranium enriched to 60% U-235—near weapons-grade and theoretically enough for multiple devices if further processed. Much of this was stored underground at Isfahan and other fortified locations. The strikes hit enrichment infrastructure but produced no significant off-site radiation releases (per IAEA updates).
Inspectors have had severely limited access since then, so the agency cannot fully verify the stockpile’s current size, exact whereabouts, or whether any was diverted, moved, or buried deeper under rubble. Some estimates suggest a couple hundred kilograms remain unaccounted for at Isfahan alone.
This material could be fashioned into a radiological dispersion device (RDD, or “dirty bomb”)—not a nuclear explosion, but conventional explosives mixed with radioactive powder to spread contamination over city blocks or ports. It wouldn’t kill thousands outright from radiation (doses would likely be low for most people), but it would trigger mass panic, long-term evacuations, and billions in cleanup costs. Iran has also issued threats about such weapons via proxies (Hezbollah, Houthis, etc.), and intelligence circles have flagged this as a plausible retaliation tactic.
Why “Collecting It All” Is a Non-Starter
Pre-positioning and dispersal: Iran has had ample time to squirrel material away in tunnels, undeclared sites, or even smuggle portions out (via proxies or black-market networks). IAEA reports have long flagged gaps in accounting for undeclared nuclear material and equipment from past programs. Add in legitimate (or dual-use) radiological sources Iran has used for decades—cobalt-60 in medicine, cesium-137 in industrial gauges, strontium-90 in research—and you’re talking thousands of potential “seeds” across hospitals, labs, and factories. These are far easier for terrorists to weaponize than highly enriched uranium.
Conflict realities: Bombed sites are now rubble-strewn bunkers in hostile territory. Any large-scale recovery operation would require ground forces, special ops raids (U.S. Delta/SEAL teams have trained for exactly this “loose WMD” scenario), or Iranian cooperation—none of which is straightforward. Even if you grab the big stockpile, smaller caches or smuggled portions could remain.
Global scale: This isn’t just an Iran problem. Highly radioactive sources exist in every country with medical/industrial applications. Historical losses, thefts, and “orphaned” sources (abandoned but still dangerous) number in the thousands worldwide. International programs (IAEA’s Incident and Trafficking Database, U.S. NNSA efforts) have secured many high-risk ones, but momentum has slowed, and complete eradication has never been the goal—it’s risk reduction.
What “We Need” Looks Like in Practice
Preventing dirty bombs in world cities requires denying adversaries easy access to dispersible material. But “collect it all” isn’t feasible, so the realistic playbook (already in motion to varying degrees) focuses on:
Prioritization:
Target the highest-activity, most dispersible sources first (e.g., cesium-137 “dirty bomb” favorites). Replace them with non-radioactive alternatives where possible (X-ray tech instead of cobalt sources).
Intelligence and disruption:
Track smuggling networks, proxy movements, and hidden caches via satellites, human intel, and sanctions. Post-strike, there’s open discussion in U.S. circles about commando-style operations to secure Iran’s remaining enriched uranium before it walks.
International mitigation:
Expand programs like the Global Threat Reduction Initiative (now under NNSA) to lock down or repatriate vulnerable sources. In a post-conflict Iran scenario, something like the old Cooperative Threat Reduction model (used for Soviet-era loose nukes) could help with verifiable removal or immobilization—if Tehran (or whatever follows) allows it.
Deterrence and response:
Make the consequences of use catastrophic for anyone who tries. Dirty bombs cause more economic/psychological damage than immediate mass casualties, so layered defenses (radiation detectors in ports, rapid-response cleanup teams) blunt their appeal.
In short, the genie isn’t going back in the bottle easily, especially after the strikes scattered the playing field. Full collection is a pipe dream; smart, sustained risk reduction (securing the worst stuff, denying access, preparing for the worst) is the only path that has ever worked against this threat.
Sobering reality.
Lots of us voted for that.

Nice statement from the Republican Party of Dane County
https://pro.stateaffairs.com/wi/press-releases/republican-party-of-dane-county-condemns-brutal-murder-of-cottage-grove-woman-calls-for-a-renewal-of-basic-humanity
Calls for ‘renewal of basic humanity’ are worthless, because the only people who care are white people, the demographic being targeted for violence.
But what will definitely work is to bring back segregation.
If white people were committing heinous acts of violence all day long, every day of the year, other white people would lose their minds and not just condemn it, but refuse to accept that kind of conduct by their own kind.
99% of black people say nothing about the insane level of black violence toward white people, probably for the same reason 99% of islamics say nothing about terrorism, because they don’t want the violence of their own kind directed toward them for speaking out.
I really don’t care what their excuses are, their FAILURES as a culture are not MY responsibility, it is THEIRS.
Second, white people have a RIGHT to be secure in our persons when going about our daily lives, without having to expect to be MURDERED for being outside while being WHITE.
The time for TALK is over.
It is time to start PROTECTING the RIGHTS of WHITE PEOPLE from the daily assaults and murders by the lion country safari demographic and the crazy islamic demographic.
They are accountable for their own kind, same as anyone else.
If they REFUSE to take accountability for their own kind, then they MUST be SEGREGATED from the law abiding WHITE PEOPLE of America.
The blacks and the islamics can complain all they want about discrimination, and they’re LUCKY they can.
The WHITE PEOPLE they MURDER every day can’t complain about anything.
Because they’re DEAD.
Assign accountability.
If blacks and islamics will not accept accountability, and make correction, then they must be segregated from civil, law abiding society.
You should get a substack and print this [and maybe some of your others] on it, just to see what reaction it/they get[s].
Or how long the substack people will leave it/them up.
I’m just working on an irrefutable argument.
It’s a process, but it’s getting there.
There is one but im so tired of the cover ups and lies for deis.
🤔 You have a lot of truth up there
If society is not allowed to segregate black criminals to the extent needed for the safety of all people, then it must segregate all blacks.
If there is a better solution — emphasis on solution, not endless talk — I’m all ears.
Blacks are the primary victims of the black criminal class, too. But they are being sacrificed by the left. It’s pretty audacious once you see it.
Its horrific that such a small group has carte blanche criminal unaccountability.
“Blacks are the primary victims of the black criminal class, too.”
_______________
Then they need to be rescued from themselves.
The only way to accomplish that is to take control away from them.
If you had ten kids, and 8 of them were terrorizing the other two, you put the 8 in lock up and have the two victims be their guards.
That will teach all ten of them a valuable lesson.
And you tell the two, you either watch them and keep them under control, or you join them. Because you’re going right in there with them if you don’t.
The choice is theirs.
The two can be part of the solution, in charge of their own recidivists, or they can join them.
Doesn’t matter to me.
Either way, the insane, unprovoked violence ends.
“Love justice.”
The left won’t do it, so we must love justice even more. Killing fake “social justice” is part of that fix.
“Blacks are the primary victims of the black criminal class, too.”
_______________
They don’t seem to care, they’re fine living like that.
They live like that wherever they are found in large numbers.
The ‘third world’ is called the ‘third world’ for a reason.
They tried calling it the ‘developing world’ for about a hundred years, but it didn’t develop. If anything, most places just got worse.
I asked Brave and Brave actually brought up Rwanda as a success story. I said you must have forgotten about the genocide.
Brave said but since the genocide, things have gone well. I said that’s because they murdered everyone they disagreed with. That’s not really poking any holes in my crime & violence argument.
The answer is to assign accountability where it belongs.
They should suffer the consequences of their own lawlessness, not the people who choose a better way of living.
The Mosaic Law had a remedy for children that could not obey their parents and it wasn’t pretty.
Bukele AND EL Salvador are quite special. In great ways.
BREAKING: Incredible sight as President Nayib Bukele’s El Salvador goes full HOLY WEEK vacation mode

Calm. Balanced. Easy going. Burchette shreds traitor Thune.
BREAKING: Rep. Tim Burchett goes ballistic on Senate GOP leadership and John Thune, saying they left senators IN THE DARK striking a backroom deal with Chuck Schumer!
“Thune and Schumer have a real DISLIKE for what most of America thinks. They want to run the show and don’t really care what you or I think!”
“Thune and Schumer cut this deal at 2 o’clock in the morning and through a procedural move!”
“They sure don’t like Trump. They want to get back to the old days, which is kind of pathetic, really, in my opinion, and that’s what’s basically behind it.”
“You know, ACDC said it’s a long way to the top if you want to rock and roll and clearly the Senate understands that and they don’t want any of us at the top helping make that decision because they’re going to make the decisions for us and that’s some serious arrogance.”

James O’Keefe SNAPS After Voter Fraud Caught on Camera: ‘ARREST Someone!’
VERDICT: Trump Tells NATO ‘Never Forget’ — Then Used Iran to Prove It
“In this Saturday Wrap, Barbara Boyd argues that President Trump’s cabinet remarks and Saudi Investment Forum comments mark a “verdict” on NATO and the broader transatlantic system that has dominated the global economy for 40 years.
She contends the Iran War is fundamentally a financial story: after Europe offered only a post-hostilities role policing the Strait of Hormuz, the U.S. moved to replace Lloyd’s of London by using the U.S. Development Finance Corporation, maritime reinsurance, and Central Command to secure Gulf shipping. Boyd says this shift amounts to U.S. control over a critical energy chokepoint — captured in Trump’s “Strait of Trump” line — reshaping how oil flows to Asia.
She previews Trump’s May 14–15 Beijing trip, framing U.S.-China relations around shared industrial traditions linked to Sun Yat-sen and rejecting a “cold war” narrative.”
.
Sometimes I swear people just forget that the Old Testament exists, and shows the character of God, too:
SIGH.
Replacement theology.
Which makes literally no sense at all to me. God is eternal. God is outside of time, so everything that ever happened, every promise he ever made, every act by God is RIGHT NOW to God. Not 3000 years ago, like it is to us. It’s all happening, all the time, all at once.
Which is why He never changes, why the Jews are now, always were, and always will be His Chosen, until He decides to end OUR TIMELINE.
Revelation is the wrap up, the Jews will know Jesus as the Messiah, and Christians will be outta here before the “big reveal.” Because we already know. Which, if you read the Bible, is the whole plan.
Correction – it’s the Hebrews [12 tribes] that are His Chosen, not just the Jews [2 tribes + some Levites].
Ezekiel 37 describes what Christ will do when He comes [their future].
Sorry, generalizing. Never a good idea.
That guy didn’t forget.
He knows.

“I have instructed the relevant authorities that Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, the Latin Patriarch, be granted full and immediate access to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. Over the past several days, Iran has repeatedly targeted the holy sites of all three monotheistic religions in Jerusalem with ballistic missiles. In one strike, missile fragments crashed meters from the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. To protect worshippers, Israel asked members of all faiths to temporarily abstain from worshipping at the Christian, Muslim and Jewish holy sites in Jerusalem’s Old City. Today, out of special concern for his safety, Cardinal Pizzaballa was asked to refrain from holding mass at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. Even though I understand this concern, as soon as I learned about the incident with Cardinal Pizzaballa, I instructed the authorities to enable the Patriarch to hold services as he wishes.”
It is a tough line to walk.
May God grant safety and access for the faithful.

‘Incredibly Problematic’ – Iran Destroys US AWACS Jet At Saudi Airbase
In a major feat that comes weeks after the White House claimed that Iran’s ballistic missile capability had been “functionally destroyed,” Iran has laid waste to one of only 16 American E-3 Sentry Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS) aircraft in the world, sending $500 million worth of technology up in smoke and crimping the US military’s ability to maintain situational awareness. The same attack also “damaged” several aerial refueling tankers and added a dozen service members to the tally of more than 300 who’ve been wounded in the month-long US-Israeli war on Iran. Thirteen have been killed.

Trump will get some vengeance now. Seatbelts.
Instead of invading Taiwan, CCP decides to just take our stuff without shooting:

Panama replaced the chyna control of the canal, so by what lawful authority (besides piracy) is chyna ‘detaining’ anyone at the canal?
They’re detaining Panama-flagged ships at Chinese-controlled ports (not in Panama).
Then retaliation should be swift and easy.
Close the Panama canal to all chyna shipping, until chyna releases the Panamanian ships and makes whatever restitution is necessary to make the detained cargo ships whole.
CCP is a bully government, and bullies only understand force.
This is likely a gang banger selling to cartels.
U.S. Marine in California accused of stealing, selling missile systems in Arizona
A 23-year-old U.S. Marine formerly stationed at Camp Pendleton in San Diego County is in custody after federal investigators claim he was stealing weapons of war, transporting them to Arizona and selling them.
A Glendale, Arizona native, Corporal Andrew Paul Amarillas, was working as an ammunition technician specialist at the School Infantry-West at Camp Pendleton, where he had access to restricted military weapons, explosives and ammunition.
In a complaint filed in U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona last week, a grand jury indicted the 23-year-old, alleging he stole a Javelin missile system and cans of ammunition that he then sold to a network of co-conspirators, the news outlet AZFamily first reported.
Court documents referenced text messages Amarillas reportedly sent to his unindicted co-conspirators.
“[J]ust got some javs and some other ones,” he allegedly wrote in an August text. “Have 2 launchers that [I] think you’d like, if you want to take a look tomorrow.”
Undercover officers were able to buy some of the ammunition from the middlemen and trace some of it back to Camp Pendleton, where they said some of the lot numbers were signed out by the corporal.
While investigators said that at least one of the Javelin Missile Systems Amarillas planned to sell was recovered, along with some of the stolen ammunition, prosecutors noted in paperwork to keep the corporal in custody that as many as “2 million rounds of M855” ammunition could be unaccounted for, AZFamily reported.
IF accurate report. Based on above:
Ammo Techs and Ordnance Officer at Pendleton, not paying attention. Likely already relieved. Additional attention
While some of the report above, easily believed. 2 million rounds, not so much.
FWIW. Fallbrook, Boxer and ships with Boxer, ought to do a quick inventory of their M855.
IF Amarillas is squeezed, he’ll squeal, where the M855 are, sold to…
I thought youd want to see this. Its really not a new thing but its quite a bit if true. Why would he be in civilian court? Mot military?
Civilian Vs military courts? More than we know.
Ultimately, the Marine Corps will nail his ass. Leavenworth comes to mind.
I hope they do.
I was listening to the DJT presser on Air Force one (link), and he keeps saying “mutilization” when he refers to the tranny Left mutilating children.
He uses “mutilization” a lot, and I was almost positive that wasn’t a word… which I can appreciate, because I make up words pretty regularly too 😂
So I searched ‘mutilization’ to check, and the result cracked me up 😁
……………………..
“Mutilization” is not a standard English word and does not appear in major dictionaries like Merriam-Webster or Oxford.
It has been invented and used by former U.S. President Donald Trump on his Truth Social platform, particularly in March 2026, to refer to transgender medical procedures, such as gender-affirming care for minors.
He used phrases like “No Transgender MUTILIZATION of our precious children”, framing it as a political critique, though the term is grammatically incorrect and widely recognized as a non-word.
The correct term is “mutilation”, which refers to severe damage or disfigurement of the body.
• Female genital mutilation (FGM) is a harmful practice involving the partial or total removal of external female genitalia, recognized internationally as a violation of human rights.
• Self-mutilation refers to intentional self-harm, such as cutting or burning, often linked to mental health struggles.
• The term also applies to ritual, punitive, or criminal acts of bodily harm historically and globally.
Trump’s use of “mutilization” has been described as a distortion of language to sensationalize and stigmatize transgender healthcare, drawing criticism for spreading misinformation.
……………………..
.
So I started a discussion with Brave A.I., to point out that DJT is certainly not the ‘former U.S. President’ in March of 2026. Brave A.I. acknowledged the error, and it revealed some more info about ‘mutilization’:
………………
Brave A.I.: “Mutilization is generally considered a misconstruction or non-standard variant of the word mutilation, which means the act of cutting up, altering radically, or damaging something so as to make it imperfect.
While “mutilation” is the correct and widely accepted term in medical, legal, and general contexts, “mutilization” appears in historical texts (e.g., 19th-century medical journals) but is now largely regarded as an error or archaic form.”
………………
.
So it is a word, it’s just a word that has fallen out of common use.
He’s not covering up the use of the time machine very well.
😂
VERY nice. 🔥
Wonder if the SatanoDEMONRATS are saying/using “Former President Trump” to ignite a smear and accusation campaign to say VSGPDJT “stole” the 2024 election???
Laying their Satanic groundwork of lies yet again…..
The battle against evil just cranked up a notch:

YIKES!
Yikes indeed… especially when the “suggested video” in the article is Melania Trump…
Seems the lead actrice in that article is the one who parodized Palin… the article and their acts are worse than parody… in the old IT/tape drive days, a parody error…..
Won’t open on my end. I do see others opened it.
Not missing anything!
