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.”


An Eternal Perspective

Living with eternity in mind is the wisest way to live. An eternal perspective keeps us from chasing empty dreams and material gratification. It keeps us from wasting our years pursuing temporal things that we can’t take with us when we die. We gain an eternal perspective when we think of our lives as a 1000-foot rope with a black tip on one end: the rope symbolizes our existence; the black tip is our life on earth. We tend to focus all our passion and energy on the black tip while giving little thought to the rest of the rope.

There are several ways to develop and maintain an eternal perspective on life:

1. Make certain you have been born again (John 3:3). Eternity awaits all of us, but the only way to ensure that we spend eternity in heaven with God is to be born again. That new birth results in a renewed spirit and a new desire to please God. When we accept by faith the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ on our behalf, the Holy Spirit moves into our spirits and births us into God’s forever family (Romans 8:15–17). It’s at that point that we begin to gain an eternal perspective.

2. Be filled with the Holy Spirit (Acts 4:31; Ephesians 5:18). We receive the Holy Spirit as a gift the moment we are saved (Acts 2:38), and He continues to work in our lives. However, the degree to which we submit ourselves to His transforming work is the degree to which we can live with an eternal perspective. When we are “filled” with the Spirit, we are totally yielded to Him. He has control of us. Galatians 5:16 says that, if we walk by the Spirit, we will not gratify the lusts of our flesh. Sinful self-gratification, focused on the things of this world, cannot coexist with an eternal perspective. The solution for self-centeredness is to surrender to the Holy Spirit (Galatians 2:20).

3. Store up treasure in heaven. Jesus said, “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also” (Matthew 6:19–21). The treasures we store for eternity are the things done for Christ on earth. Even offering a cup of cold water to a servant of the Lord is cause for reward (Matthew 10:42). An eternal perspective is one that has shifted from earthly concerns to heavenly ones and invests time, energy, and resources in God’s kingdom.

4. Spend time with God and His Word (Psalm 119:11). We would not expect our cars to go a thousand miles on a single tank of gas. Yet, we think a quick prayer or a tweeted Bible verse is sufficient to sustain an eternal perspective for weeks or months. We need continual refilling of truth. Romans 12:1–2 calls it the “renewing” of the mind. Spending time in the presence of God invites Him to reveal areas of our lives that are not surrendered to Him. We acknowledge and confess those and then replace the lies we’ve believed with truths from His Word. This continual “washing” of the Word (Ephesians 5:26) keeps our priorities in agreement with God’s and helps maintain an eternal perspective.

5. Stay conscious of the fact that this world is not all there is. It is easy to lose ourselves in daily cares and desires. But those who live with an eternal perspective are equally aware that every day counts down toward our final journey. Second Corinthians 4:17–18 says, “For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.” We must intentionally redirect our thoughts toward that which is eternal, judging the value of decisions based on their eternal significance. Colossians 3:1–3 says, “Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God.”

God has commanded that we live with an eternal perspective. If holding an eternal perspective came naturally, He would not need to command it. So we choose to continually set our minds on things above. As we develop a habit of setting our minds on eternal things, we begin to handle things differently from those with earth-bound perspectives, and the eternal mindset becomes part of us.

Thank you, Carl! This is something I have to work on all the time. Every day, to be honest. I am constantly trying to move my thoughts from the short-term and material, to the long-term and heavenly. I do feel like I’m making progress, but it takes time!

pgroup2

And then WordPiss runs a road grader over your progress.  😂 

TradeBait2

👍 👍

All of us who are born again struggle daily because we realize just how short we fall from the example of Christ. That we recognize it is a blessing from the Lord. The apostle Paul even struggled with this constantly. The Holy Spirit will remind us of our screw ups and short comings as the Lord wills to serve as a reminder of where we need to pick it up a bit and where we once were. It is not to condemn, but to educate and help. As painful as that is, I am eternally grateful because it humbles me more.

My own failure frequently has been in the being more forgiving of others who are caught in the cycle of sin, then He reminds me of my own. I will be praying for Him to strengthen you in this pursuit because it is highly worthy of your efforts!

Aubergine

I struggled with forgiveness for a long time, for people who had damaged me beyond repair, until it was explained to me that forgiving them only meant that I didn’t seek vengeance for their actions, but that I was giving that up to God.

That I can do. I don’t want to punish others. I just want to let them go, and let God handle their sin and any consequences for it. I can’t tell you the freedom this has given me. It is the lifting of the heaviest burden I’ve ever known.

HOLY SMOKES. President Trump just went HARDBALL mode and demanded Senate Republicans ATTACH the SAVE America Act to the housing or FISA legislation — both of which are bipartisan

“Maryland just had 500,000 Fake Mail-In Ballots revealed.”

“We cannot, as a Country, put up with this any longer!!! Voter I.D., and Proof of Citizenship, must be approved, NOW. Crooked Mail-In Voting must be stopped!!! PUT IT ALL IN THE HOUSING AND FISA BILLS. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!”

“THE SAVE AMERICA ACT MUST BE PASSED, NOW. Use the Housing and FISA Bills to get it done!”

LISTEN TO TRUMP, GOP!

And WIN the midterms

scott467

Start asking criminal Thune WHY he doesn’t want to win the midterms?

What kind of lunatic would turn down the opportunity to ensure fair elections, which will ONLY benefit r-Cons?

WTH is wrong with Thune?

Why isn’t he being asked that EVERY DAY, by every urinalist and by DJT and by every MAGA member of Congress?

What’s wrong, Johnny? You’re the LEADER of the Senate, don’t you want fair elections?

Does the criminal election fraud syndicate own you lock, stock and barrel?

Are you corrupt?

What POSSIBLE explanation could you or ANY r-Con member of the Senate have, for refusing to ensure that your (supposed) OPPENENTS can’t CHEAT?

Tap dance for me Johnny.

Minnesota fails to ban

No government ever disarmed its people for benevolent reasons.

…The Minnesota Senate is barely in the hands of Democrats while the House is evenly split, with the Speaker of the House a Republican largely due to Democrats getting caught cheating in the 2024 election. As with the big three and every other blue state, there are certain articles of faith. Arguably the most important among them is that Normal Americans—largely but not exclusively Republicans—must be disarmed, not only within their Communist/Islamist states, but everywhere. They understand that unless and until they can disarm Normal Americans, their utopian state, a tyranny of the majority, can never be realized. 

Doing that would plainly violate the Constitution, but Democrats are also the party that promises to turn the judicial branch into another Communist/Islamist adjunct of their party, and will eliminate the Electoral College, without which the Constitution would never have been ratified, without all the bother of a constitutional amendment. 

Communists and Islamists are socialists in a hurry, and today’s Democrats have never been so motivated to immediately relegate the Constitution, and with it, our constitutional, representative republic, to the ash heap of history. That’s what “our democracy” is all about.

John Hinderaker at Powerline exposes the latest Minnesota not nice, Democrat desperation: 

“Desperate to deflect attention from Minnesota’s fraud scandals, the state’s Democrats have seized on gun control as a political lifeline, much as they did with abortion in 2022. Despite having passed an anti-gun package when they had complete control over state government in 2023, the Democrats have come up with a new bill that, among other things, would ban sales of “assault weapons,” i.e., semiautomatic rifles (and some pistols) with a modern, modular design typified by a black plastic stock rather than a brown wooden stock. Existing owners of “assault weapons,” like me, would have to register their firearms with the state.”

The new bill, thankfully, is dead. Its unconstitutionality would have been challenged, but that should not have to keep happening.

scott467

Its unconstitutionality would have been challenged, but that should not have to keep happening.

________________

No, it shouldn’t. It is not just a pattern of abuse, both of the People and the legal system, but it’s their entire modus operandi, it’s an open WAR against the People and the Constitution, and it needs to be put down with government VIOLENCE.

TradeBait2

Again – rules, procedures and practices used to replace the Constitution’s lack of clear written direction and penalties for abusing the system. No penalty for abuse, they keep abusing to stall and delay in hopes it will wear down the opponents while hoping something will stick even if it is only temporary. It causes their opposition, us, to waste resources and time.

You are right, it is an open war on We the People and Constitution.

People have had it. They’ve been abused in every conceivable way by their own vicious evil government, who facilitated the islamic invasion of their own countries, and then did nothing when the islamic invaders proceeded to gang rape and mass murder the people.
 
Worse, the treasonous government blamed the victims of rape and murder. It’s so unbelievably heinous it’s indescribable.

It’s a miracle there hasn’t already been a violent revolution.
 
Every last one of those government monsters deserve to be strung up with piano wire in the public square and beaten by their victims until dead.
 
Then hacked up into little pieces and thrown in the Thames.
 
Then outlaw islam and drive all of them into the sea.

Go full VIKING on all of these monsters.

The Midnight Ride was to warn the colonists that the King’s Army was coming to confiscate their stored ammo and gunpowder.

When we finally prevailed [with help from some friends], we got a new country out the whole mess. Those other ‘countries’ should follow our lead. Lots of desolate places to ambush gun grabbers in both places.

Saturday morning, I was at the other club — BAEM. Our most experienced member, Dwight, recently had a fall on his driveway and is hobbling around with a walker, so he wasn’t at the meeting. He is of an age where this is quite a setback, so prayers for his recovery would be appreciated. Over the years, in his private capacity, Dwight built an airplane from scratch for himself and flew it around for a while, as well as casting molten metal in forms on his driveway. In his professional life, he worked on nuclear submarines…..but if he told us more, he’d have to kill us.

One of our other members brought in a steam engine for a bicycle. The burners were from a Coleman camp stove, and he had a friend calc whether he’d get enough steam. Unfortunately, his friend thought it would be one piston and it actually had two, so the builder made it into a compound engine where the 2nd piston ran off the exhaust from the first (you have to change the cylinder size and valve timing, this is non-trivial). He got the boiler and the steam engine parts working, but the thing weighed 70 pounds when ready to mount onto the bicycle…..which caused the bike to flip the non-driven wheel into the air. He decided to bring it in to show to us before he parted it out. Charlie does quirky, inventive projects (including a calliope for the GGLS club), which helps to reconcile oneself to this steampunkish project’s disassembelly.

… as well as casting molten metal in forms on his driveway.

How did he get the HOA to allow him to do this?

And how much did the Franchise Tax Board say he owed in inventory tax, since it’s obvious [to them] that he’s getting ready to go into business?

May 16, 2026

SD: “Unless something remarkable changes drastically, it looks like incumbent Republican Senator Bill Cassidy has come in third place, which means he has lost his Senate seat in the primary race.

The runoff will be between Trump-endorsed Julia Letlow and State Treasurer John Fleming (June 27th).

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

Verse of the Day for Sunday, May 17, 2026

“He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.”

Revelation 21:7 (KJV)

COMMENTARY FOR REVELATION 21:7

A new heaven, and new earth: the new Jerusalem where God dwells, and banishes all sorrow from his people. (1-8) Its heavenly origin, glory, and secure defence. (9-21) Its perfect happiness, as enlightened with the presence of God and the Lamb, and in the free access of multitudes, made holy. (22-27)

1-8 The new heaven and the new earth will not be separate from each other; the earth of the saints, their glorified, bodies, will be heavenly. The old world, with all its troubles and tumults, will have passed away. There will be no sea; this aptly represents freedom from conflicting passions, temptations, troubles, changes, and alarms; from whatever can divide or interrupt the communion of saints. This new Jerusalem is the church of God in its new and perfect state, the church triumphant. Its blessedness came wholly from God, and depends on him. The presence of God with his people in heaven, will not be interrupt as it is on earth, he will dwell with them continually. All effects of former trouble shall be done away. They have often been in tears, by reason of sin, of affliction, of the calamities of the church; but no signs, no remembrance of former sorrows shall remain. Christ makes all things new. If we are willing and desirous that the gracious Redeemer should make all things new in order hearts and nature, he will make all things new in respect of our situation, till he has brought us to enjoy complete happiness. See the certainty of the promise. God gives his titles, Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End, as a pledge for the full performance. Sensual and sinful pleasures are muddy and poisoned waters; and the best earthly comforts are like the scanty supplies of a cistern; when idolized, they become broken cisterns, and yield only vexation. But the joys which Christ imparts are like waters springing from a fountain, pure, refreshing, abundant, and eternal. The sanctifying consolations of the Holy Spirit prepare for heavenly happiness; they are streams which flow for us in the wilderness. The fearful durst not meet the difficulties of religion, their slavish fear came from their unbelief; but those who were so dastardly as not to dare to take up the cross of Christ, were yet so desperate as to run into abominable wickedness. The agonies and terrors of the first death will lead to the far greater terrors and agonies of eternal death.

Commentary by Matthew Henry, 1710.

WE ARE FIGHTING A SPIRITUAL WAR OF GOOD VERSUS EVIL

PRAYING ON THE ARMOR OF GOD

Father God, I now follow your command to put on the full armor of God, because my battle is not against flesh and blood but against rulers, authorities, the powers of this dark world and against spiritual forces of evil in the unseen world.

I first pray on the Belt of Truth that it may be buckled around my waist, may I be centered and encircled by your truth dear Lord. Hem me inside all that is true and right, and may I be protected and held up by the truth of your living word, in my Lord Jesus name.

I pray on the Breastplate of righteousness, please protect my vital organs and my inner man, cover my integrity, my spirit, and my soul. Guard my heart for it is the wellspring of life, please strengthen and guard the most vulnerable places in my life with that which is right, good, and noble that I might not receive a fatal blow from the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.

I pray on the Gospel Shoes of Peace. I choose to stand in the shoes of your good news, and on the firm foundation of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the solid eternal rock. All other ground is sinking sand, I pray that I will not slip or fall, but that my feet would be firmly fitted on your lordship, my Lord Jesus. I choose to stand on you, so that the peace of God, which transcends all understanding will guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus, the eternal Rock of Ages. I receive your holy peace now my Lord, from the sole of my feet to the crown of my head, in my Lord Jesus name.

I pray the Shield of Faith into my hand now. As I take up the shield of faith, I ask that you might extinguish every dart and arrow that is launched from the enemy to take me down spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally, and every attempt of the enemy to destroy my joy. I ask that my faith in you would make it flame out. Extinguish every flaming arrow that would come against me, my life, my family, my home, or my ministry. May my faith always be out in front of me like a shield. Give me the courage to “faith my fears” by choosing to walk by faith and not by sight, in my Lord Jesus name.

I pray on the Helmet of Salvation, that you might protect my mind from the thoughts that can lead me astray. I choose to take every thought captive, and arrest all intentioned ideas and motives that would harm others, or distract me from your holy will for me. I submit every captured thought to the Lordship of my Lord Jesus Christ, and ask that you would imprison those thoughts that are not of you my Lord. Transform my mind and renew my thinking that I may think God thoughts, and have a sober mind that is focused on your glory. Please protect me from being double minded that I may allow my mind, I reject to live an earthly life, because I choose to live a holy one, governed by you My Lord Jesus, the prince of peace, please have my mind to be saturated with the holy mind of Christ, in my Lord Jesus name.

Finally, I take up the Sword of the Spirit which is the holy word of God, I pray this powerful offensive weapon into my hand, and ask that your holy word would be fitting for every encounter I face. As the enemy gets close to me, please give me the insight, wisdom, and skill to wield the word of God to drive away the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.

May the enemy and his team flee from me, upon hearing the word of God spoken by the power and direction of the Holy Spirit. Give me the sword of the spirit to cut through the wiles of the devil, so that I may discern the schemes of the enemy when he is near.

With all kinds of prayers, supplication, and intercession I pray to you my Lord God as the one who fights my battles. Now that I’m in your holy powerful armor, I walk away covered and ready to face my day as you go before me, and please protect me in the midst of the spiritual warfare in this unseen world, in my Lord Jesus name.

Thank you my Lord, for the spiritual weapons of armor and prayer that you have given me. It is written no weapon formed against me shall prosper, and you will refute every tongue that accuses me. 

Thank you Father God, my Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit, that I am more than a conqueror in my Lord Jesus. I pray all of this in the mighty name of my Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ, Amen.

COME BACK TO ME
Come back to me with all of your heart;Sin has separated us – torn us apart;Long have I waited for your sweet return;Reconciliation with you – is what I yearn!
While you were out reveling in the flesh;In the throes of sin – I watched you enmesh;I sent forth My Spirit – to convict you;But, you rebuff Him – what could I do?
I sent forth my angels – with a message true;But you did not hear – you did not want to;I sent forth my beauty – for your eyes to see;But your eyes were on others and not on Me!
I sent forth the fragrance – of lilies so sweet;With the scents you enjoyed – I could not compete;I sent you a mate – refined in the Word;But you refused him/her – completely absurd!
Stubborn you are and stubborn you’ll be;Until you agree to Come Back to Me;What can I tell you – what can I say?If you keep acting in your sinful way!
Make no mistake – I have a plan for you;With love I will prick you – and deeply, too;The one that you love will not love you back;When you’re not looking – he/she will attack!
With tokens and trinkets you will woo your love;But God will not bless this union above;It is you who will suffer rebuff and regret;For what you have done – that is what you will get!
Until you can feel what you have given to Me;You will not have eyes that will ever see;Into the darkness you’ll continue to gaze;Your ears will be closed to sweet words of praise!
Your love will complain he/she hasn’t the time;To love you and cherish you in the sublime;Then he/she will leave you flat and outright;Far away will him/her go – far out of sight!
Now that you know what I have been feeling;In your absence – how much I’ve been reeling;Come Back to Me – repent now – and believe;Your pain and your suffering I can relieve!
My yoke is easy – my burden is light;I’m willing to give you back your insight;I’m willing to send forth My Spirit today;If you will agree – to follow the Way!
Come Back to Me – and I will surely forgive;All your transgressions – so that you will live;With faith through grace – I will accept you back;As long as you agree – I will take up the slack!
D01: O7/26/2013

The one that you love will not love you back;
When you’re not looking – he/she will attack!

With tokens and trinkets you will woo your love;
But God will not bless this union above;
It is you who will suffer rebuff and regret;
For what you have done – that is what you will get!

Until you can feel what you have given to Me;
You will not have eyes that will ever see;
Into the darkness you’ll continue to gaze;
Your ears will be closed to sweet words of praise!

Your love will complain he/she hasn’t the time;
To love you and cherish you in the sublime;
Then he/she will leave you flat and outright;
Far away will him/her go – far out of sight!

Now that you know what I have been feeling;
In your absence – how much I’ve been reeling;
Come Back to Me – repent now – and believe;
Your pain and your suffering I can relieve!

My yoke is easy – my burden is light;
I’m willing to give you back your insight;
I’m willing to send forth My Spirit today;
If you will agree – to follow the Way!

Come Back to Me – and I will surely forgive;
All your transgressions – so that you will live;
With faith through grace – I will accept you back;
As long as you agree – I will take up the slack!

THE MAN I LOVE
He is strong in mind – gentle in heart;He is guided by God – for he is smart;In obedience he heeds – what God dictates;And about His Holy Word – he ne’er debates!
He seeks the truth – in all his endeavors;In search of truth – for hours – he belabors;For the truth we know – will set us all free;Free to be all – God wants – for us to be!
He is honest – with himself and with others;He will not lie or cheat – his sisters or brothers;His is pure of heart – refined in God’s love;With blessings and gifts – bestowed from above!
He will not judge you – but his reprove is stern;He will not back down – His Word you must learn;His only allegiance – is to Jesus, his Lord;All he is and does – is by His Holy Word!
His no-nonsense approach – to life and to living;Comes from his conversion – Holy Spirit giving;The Light of the Spirit – now shines brightly in him;Even though – years ago – his prospects were slim!
He repented – and humbled himself – before the Lord;He took His correction bravely – and studied His Word;Although he was knocked down – onto his knees;He neither asked nor pleaded – He takes His ease!
Though his strength was reduced to that of a child;His rebuke was neither gentle – nor even mild;You will stop what you’re doing – it’s offensive to Me;Meek and humble of heart – is what I want you to be!
Stunned and diminished – into submission;Nary would he give – anyone permission;To rebuke – or redefine – what he should be;Nor would he ever be down – on bended knee!
Strength is not in the muscle – it is in the heart;It is revealed when – from the flesh – we depart;It is multiplied – sevenfold – when we deny self;When we follow Him – put the flesh on the shelf!
It is his heart that I see – when I look in his eyes;It is there that He can be – where the Spirit resides;The Lord has rebuked and refined him to be;The soulmate I prayed – He would bring to me!

THE HEART UNDERSTANDS
Poking and prodding the bear rarely worksHe just lingers and shrugs and simply smirks He curls up and cuddles in his lair aloneWhere it is safe from prying eyes full-blown
How can they possibly see me for meI have revealed little of who I beWithout a good-bye quickly left the nestUnder duress I simply failed to attest
They reached out to me when I needed helpI could hardly move or let out a yelpThe pain of the loss was fresh in my mindI could barely sleep let alone unwind
And now it has been too long to explainWhat happens to me over and over againWith what I must grapple day in and outThey have no idea what it’s all about
I could make excuses but that will not flyI could explain the what where when and whyBut that will not cut it a single bitI just needed some time to deal with it
Ask anyone who has grieved a great lossThere are ups and downs a simple coin tossThere are ins and outs with nowhere to goLet it all out – stop the back/forth to/fro
You have been patient with me this I knowAs I struggle to find a path to forward goWhile I come to grips with whom I can beWithout the love of my life tis hard you see

How long will it take, Commiefornia to catch up to, New Green SCAM is DEAD.

patfrederick

it shows their greed and stupidity.
the writing’s been on the wall and instead of taking their ill gotten gains and high tailing it out of there, they stay–trying to milk a dead cow.

TradeBait2

Exactly. That is why they imported illegals by the millions over decades while having Hollyweird sell the drug culture, perverse sex and gender BS, changed the public schools, etc. to dumb down the population. It weakened the Christian church and belief system in the process. All of it made it easier to scam the population about anything and everything, which has been reflected at the ballot box and enforced through stealing elections.

They got rich and powerful at the sheeple’s expense.

pgroup2

Uh, fund is incorrect.

Steal is the proper word.

Bonus – Gotta love calling algore a liar. His publisher [An Inconvenient Truth] should be sued for fraud by every purchaser of that book for the purchase price [adjusted for inflation] PLUS whatever money he/she donated to climate change causes because it was promoted as non-fiction

Don’t just follow the money – hoover it up!

BIMD – I told a friend at the time who was Gore’s local campaign office manager in our state – a man who was invited by Gore’s team to move to DC to be his aide – to tell his boss not to link up with Slick and not to go down that route. When asked.by my friend because he knew I would know about Slick and gang, I told him from my experiences in Arkansas with that bunch that it would ruin his political career and personal life. At that time Gore was a moderate, more of a southern Dem. The political type that later changed their political affiliation to the GOP over the years because the Dems moved left.

We know what happened with his inability to say “no” in pursuit of money, pleasure and power. But the apple did not fall far from the tree, his father was a charlatan just like his son turned out to be

This climate change scam originates back over a century. The truth is you cannot trust the data going back at least that far because it has been manipulated. But you can observe; especially through photos, geological study, atmospheric studies, etc. With the satellite and seismic provided observations, more can be learned.

Yes, climate changes. Yes, it has happened since time began. No, the efforts of mankind cannot materially affect it barring a worldwide nuclear holocaust. Even that may be a temporary effect as YHWH knows everything and He will determine how it goes.

kalbokalbs

Yes, climate changes. Yes, it has happened since time began.

^^^ As a pre-teen, learned of climate change, from “Ranger Rick”, one evening in Yosemite.

It was one of those, gather round the campfire, as “Ranger Rick” explains how Yosemite came to be.

Climate change is natural AND always constant.

Ranger Rick did not use, “climate change”, but is an obvious, perfect fit.

Wonderful words to live by, Carl. Thank you. Still praying for your complete healing and resumption of life as you would prefer.

Outlier again. Slow Guy looks forward to Fetterman breaking with Dumacrats.
At a minimum, independent, which I think Fetterman will remain vulnerable.
Rather, as a R-Con. R-Cons need every R they can gather, to Support Trump, America First.
Fetterman’s term runs through 28.

John Fetterman Opens Up About Phone Call to Erika Kirk, Rips Into Her Critics: ‘What’s Wrong With People?’

In the cutthroat world of hyperpartisan American politics, it’s rare to see much warmth emanate across the ideological aisles.

So many observers were somewhat surprised that after the White House Correspondents’ Dinner assassination attempt, reports surfaced that Pennsylvania Democratic Sen. John Fetterman had personally reached out and called Erika Kirk to make sure she was okay after the April incident.

(For the somehow unaware, Erika’s husband, Charlie Kirk, was assassinated by a shooter in September 2025.)

“The Charlie Kirk Show” executive producer Andrew Kolvet said that Fetterman was “pretty emotional” on the call with Erika, but didn’t offer too many other details.

And until now, little was publicly known about what was actually said during that call.
Fox News spoke to Fetterman about that call in a piece published Thursday, and the outspoken lawmaker offered a bit more insight into what happened.

“I expressed how sorry I am,” Fetterman said. “She was frantic, understandably, after her husband was assassinated.”

He added, “How triggering that must have been for her.”

Fetterman would go on to call the phone conversation a “very personal human interaction,” and said his “heart breaks” for Kirk after she had to live through more political violence less than a year following Charlie’s murder.

Fetterman’s more biting words were reserved for the people who saw fit to attack Kirk about her situation.

When asked about those online attacks against Kirk, Fetterman said, “It blows. People attack a widow. I mean what’s wrong with people? That’s bonkers.”

Nor do I “trust” him.

We need the Rs in the short term. 28 is eons away, at the moment.

patfrederick

imo they are keeping his seat safe for now…by having his appear middle of the road. when the time is right, he will show us who he is and always was.
it is a game politicians play.

In total agreement pat, a snake in the grass…..

He may be a gopher. Useful.

patfrederick

or a rat.
he was a total liberal jackass as mayor of a small pa town.
dad’s got money and bankrolled him to this seat.
what’s in it for dad?

kalbokalbs

All true.

kalbokalbs

It’s all politics…they all play…to their greedy benefit.

The call to Erica, humanity on display. I would hope not politics.

FWIW. It has been reported, Trump has let some R-Cons try to recruit Feterman.

Perhaps that is only political game to garner favor in the short term.

America First – MAGA really needs to be a welcoming Big Tent.

pgroup2

It’s stupid to act so desperate for recruits that we overlook the sheer kindness of his gesture. Even if it had some self-serving mixed in it.

patfrederick

there’s a wide road between acknowledging a decent human being gesture and elevating him to reformed dem.

pgroup2

He had a fairly serious stroke. I think he’s entitled to pick up the wrong word when fishing in a pile of synonyms.

patfrederick

you can definitely give him the benefit of the doubt. i, however, will give him the side eye for now.

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump

Failed New York State Governor Kathy Hochul, a Dumacrat, just blamed ME for her Long Island Railroad STRIKE, when she knows, full well, that I have NOTHING TO DO WITH IT – never even heard about it until this morning. She just blurted out, “it’s President Trump’s fault.” No, Kathy, it’s your fault, and now looking over the facts, you should not have allowed this to happen. If you can’t solve it, let me know, and I’ll show you how to properly get things done. This would be an easy one for BRUCE BLAKEMAN. He should be your next Governor and New York State would turn around fast, including far less Crime, and much lower taxes!!! Kathy, call me if you can’t do it, I will get it done – I know all the players, great people!!! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Now that the New Green SCAM is dying a slow, very public death.

We can finish off the entire 64 gender lies AND transgender shit show.

  • 100% of it is Mental Disease.

STEPHEN A. SMITH NAILED IT PERFECTLY:

CALLER: Some of MAGA are mentally ill

SMITH: “Nope, nope, nope, don’t talk to ME about mental illness on the side of the right — but you have people talking about transgender without parental consent!”

“And men transitioning to women and playing in women’s sports, and thinking that that was OK!”

“And people could be incarcerated and they could have s*x changes and stuff like that. Oh, no, no, no!”

“You don’t get to sit up there and just point to the right about that and not act like there wasn’t craziness on the left too.”

“[Democrats are] turning your back on black folks who supported you since the 60s. Don’t get me started with all of that!”

“The extreme left is a DAMN PROBLEM! That’s why 77 million people said Donald Trump is closer to normalcy than some of those folks!”

Q: What would happen if you become a prime minister tomorrow?

Holy based!

“I would have re-migration. It’s time for many Muslims to leave this country. You’ve got your homes to go to. This is our home. We’ve got nowhere to go to!”

“We’re not allowing it to change any longer. You’ve seen today, people have fed up then. People are FED UP!”
