Dear MAGA: 20260709 ✾ Thank God ± Theistic Evolution ∈ Thursday Open Topic


This man, making Christmas calls from the White House, believes the world is a sphere. And he has even flown around it! So has our beautiful FLOTUS, who happens to be his wife!

Truth and common sense must be valued by us, as individuals, in order to lastingly disempower the authoritarian fake news media. This includes the perniciously smarmy science media, which never answers for its errors and lies. I believe that the media has been responsible not only for leftist pathologies like scientism, medical fascism, and radical gender ideology, but also for reactionary movements like modern flat Earth, rejection of all medicine, and Biblical geological literalism.


Just as Wheatie’s Stormwatch Monday Open Thread was created as a place for people to openly express their thoughts and opinions, so, too, is this Thank God Thursday Open Thread, where honest but civil discussion of all topics is encouraged. This thread is also to be known as Theistic Evolution Thursdays, due to the author’s expected “pontification” about his scientific, religious, and political opinions. You are welcome to pontificate back! Free speech matters!

Please label all AI-generated content as being such, unless it is patently obvious (e.g., humorous AI images). It is important that we as individuals not begin to pretend that socially derived artificial intelligence is actually our own, as this form of stealthy social information averaging and feedback would be one more pretense and deception between people, in service of stupid Marxist socialism, and of those who wish to substitute their communally protected lies for actual truth.

The source of alleged truth matters, not for the truth itself, but for validation.

And yes, it’s THURSDAY…again.

And that’s it. We’re done stealing from Wheatie.

OK – maybe her rules need to be posted.

  • No food fights.
  • No running with scissors.
  • If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.

Other rules may be derivable from these, and that conjecture is left for discussion.


If there is nothing beyond the “W” below, then this is a placeholder. For health reasons, I can’t always post a timely opinion before each Thursday, but I will try. Otherwise, you have this placeholder post, where YOU provide the content. Enjoy!

W


More parasite scare-porn that you need to see.

This is a nasty one. Prevention is the way to go. Killing the worms in your brain with a drug can make things worse.

Also, this is a perfect demonstration of how the modern DEI medical system doesn’t listen, doesn’t learn, and will let you die. YOU are responsible for educating the docs, I’m sorry to say.

Be careful out there.

I do not know if it was the same thing or a version, but a lot of folks in the SE experienced a digestive illness about a month ago with similar symptoms that lasted about 48 hours.

Gail Combs

CDC has a map of where the outbreaks are.

https://www.cdc.gov/cyclosporiasis/php/surveillance/index.html#cdc_generic_section_2-surveillance

Looks to me like it is found in HIGH ILLEGAL STATES.
Texas, Illinois and New York have the highest counts. None reported in CA.

Gail Combs

CDC — Clinical Overview of Cyclosporiasis
If you do not test for it you do not find it. — well that may explain CA.
Key points

  • Cyclosporiasis is an intestinal infection that spreads when people ingest food or water contaminated with stool.
  • Cyclosporiasis can be treated with an antibiotic regimen of trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX).
  • Because testing for Cyclospora is not routinely conducted in most US laboratories, healthcare providers may have to specifically request testing for it.

Prevention

The best way for people to prevent infection is to avoid consuming food or water that may be contaminated with stool. Travelers to cyclosporiasis-endemic areas should be aware that although food and water precautions for Cyclospora are similar to precautions for other intestinal pathogens, Cyclospora is unlikely to be killed by routine chemical disinfection or sanitizing methods. Symptomatic reinfection can occur.

SO how in Hades is US produce getting infected with human feces??

More likely it’s illegal pot farms where illegals are working off their smuggling debt.

How does the food supply get infected?
When third world illegals handle our food supply because they do not have the hygiene most people from a civilized culture have.
Not washing their hands after going to the toilette. Simple we are all taught to wash our hands.

Gail Combs

Yup! Like that muslim cook in the UK who caused so many people to get sick. They found a jug of water covered in feces because muslims DO NOT USE TOILET PAPER instead they use hand fulls of water.

Gail Combs

The reporting is voluntary. I had a go round about that with the USDA lying thru their teeth to get the Food Safety Modernization Act passed. The farmers at the hearing used my food illness chart that showed the incidences spiked after HACCP was substituted for actual USDA inspection.

HACCP uses a corporation’s inspections and paperwork as a substitute for third party (USDA) inspection.

Valerie Curren

Like the ISO crapola…perhaps 🙁

Within the past few days, Google installed a requirement to use their “Google Play” app to see / hear any video embedded in X posts.

I can read the text, but I’m blocked from everything else.

Google is a subsidiary of Meta, yes? There is a $1.4 TRILLION lawsuit for allowing minors to access adult content (and other purposely addictive content: psy-ops), causing mental health harm.

It’s been going on for quite a few years now, yet Zuck allowed it. The $1.4 T is roughly equal to Meta’s entire current capitalization.

I’d love to see it go down.

Btw, does everyone know that Zuck’s *real* surname is “Greenberg”?

As is his brother’s – Snowden.

Any relationship to Rosa DeLauro and her husband Stanley Greenberg pollster, strategist and master manipulator of the public?

From my old notes:

Democracy Corps is an organization run by James Carville and Stan Greenberg.

Greenberg got Tony Blair elected in the UK. Greenberg Carville Shrum directed Campaigns in 60 countries (including Tony Blair in the UK) and was responsible for the Bolivia fiasco. Stan Greenberg “…specializes in research on globalization, international trade…”

Sir ES

There is a photo of the three brothers when they were young, ranging between ~12 to ~18, posted at least a half a dozen times on 8kun, sporadically over the past 6-7 years (8chan too, b4 8kun) that I saw.

IIRC, the 3rd brother is Assange. It’s all putative, of course, but the poster wasn’t a shill (99% sure).

For some reason, the three were provided an inside track – I think it highly likely that their parents were ‘connected,’ but in any event the three were extraordinarily bright.

Wasn’t there an “Ace” Greenberg atop the largest insurance / reinsurance company, of the 2008-2012 mortgage meltdown?

There are other possibilities, of course – we may never know.

Changing identities, though, *reeks* of the cabal…

Since reluctantly joining X about a year ago, glad I did.

Have never posted an original X. Prolly posted three or four comments to an X. Plenty of X reposts.

  1. I find X a wealth of information MORE TIMELY THAT ANY OTHER SOURCES.
  2. Yes, like EVERY source, vetting the information is key.
  3. No downside to joining X that I can see.

>>> It may be worth a try. Even to easily view X videos.

YMMV.

Nick Sortor:

JD Vance announces the Trump admin has launched a FULL-SCALE CRACKDOWN on H-1B fraud, with DOZENS of subpoenas sent out and investigations launched

“Big corporations and fraudsters overseas are using this program to undercut the wages of AMERICAN workers.”

“American jobs ought to go to American workers and NOT foreign fraudsters, and the Department of Labor is fighting back against it”

TradeBait2

I wish more people, including business owners, figured it out. Cheap labor migrates and drops out of the workforce regularly. They may be competent for five minutes before moving on and as a owner/manager you lose.

Investing time, training and money into employee development at all levels, including janitors and such, leads to workforce stability and improved performance. When you have the latter you can take advantage of opportunities and acquisitions. You need less staffing to accomplish far more. This is true at all levels of an org.

So get the illegals and fraudsters out of here and go back to investing into American workers at every level. Start doing that while they are still in school. If there are labor shortages for non-skilled jobs, stringently vet and allocate slots from cooperating foreign nations that send people in through the front door and will assist with the exiting process if the laborers are no longer needed or desired.

pgroup2

… will assist with the exiting process if the laborers are no longer needed …

DJT said they aren’t sending their best.

But they should realize [India in particular] that repatriating its citizens means bringing them back along with everything they’ve learned in America. How can that not help India and every other country?

In other words, it’s a win-win for both sides.

Firefighters in Wisconsin are hailing 5 teenage boys as HEROES after they BUSTED DOWN A DOOR TO A BURNING HOME to save a 91-year-old elderly couple and their family on July 4th.

When firefighters arrived, they discovered the boys had already rescued ALL SIX PEOPLE inside the home.

According to investigators, the boys noticed what they thought was a bonfire from their home.

As they walked closer, they saw a home was on fire and started banging on the doors and windows and heard people yelling.

The group of boys BROKE DOWN THE DOOR, ran into the home, called out for the victims and rescued all them.

“We started calling out for people and asking if anybody was in there. And then we ended up getting quite a bit of responses. There ended up being five or six people in the house…”

“…you are kind of just feeling around, yelling, and then I heard a couple in the room on the left. So I went in there and got them out.”

As the last person stepped out of the home, the flames intensified.

scott467

The entire concept of “girl boss” is as ridiculous, subversive, and communist as would be the idea of a “boy boss”.

____________

I hadn’t thought of it that way.

It would never occur to anyone that someone could be a ‘boy boss’, because men are despised.

I see ‘girl-boss’ purely as the Left has created it, which is a battle of the sexes with a rigged outcome, and men are their enemies, the bad guy, in every conceivable scenario — even in the woods, if a woman is given the choice to encounter a man or a freakin’ bear, they chose the bear.

So they hate men, passionately.

And they treat men accordingly.

And they’re so completely self-absorbed, they don’t even recognize the damage they’re doing to their own future prospects in life.

I must see 10 videos a day in my suggested line-up, consisting of woman after woman on tik-tok and similar, saying horrible things about men, just nasty, hateful things. I don’t watch that many, it’s way too negative and nihilistic 😂

But I probably see one every few days, when the headline or thumbnail pick is compelling enough. Not even a hint of sarcasm or humor, just resentment and disdain.

There are dozens (at least) of video channels dedicated to observing this growing phenomenon and what’s causing it.

Entire swathes of the male population, young men, are walking away from having any kind of relationship with women. Not because they hate women, but because women hate them, and do everything they can to make sure men know it.

This is what feminism is. Women without boundaries, without restraint, without responsibility or accountability for their actions, without gratitude or humility, demanding and expecting men to be their servants, to *&$% on and dispose of as they please.

So a girl-boss is, now that I think about it, basically a female supremacist living in denial of the reality that without the men she hates, her entire world would cease to exist.

And she’s oblivious to it, because she can be. Because whatever this iteration of society is called, post male, post Christian, post modern, post intelligence, post common sense, whatever — it rewards that kind of behavior, and so whole generations of women have now become that way.

They have become… the girl-boss.

They don’t need men, they don’t like men, and they don’t want men.

I saw this posted in the comments section for a video about falling birth rates yesterday, and the mystery about what could ever be causing it… whatever it is, you can bet they won’t be laying any accountability at the feet of women for it… 😂

………………………
“Stop pretending… It’s equal pay that kills fertility. Rich men have dozens of kids but rich women don’t make any kids.

Oprah Winfrey, Jennifer Aniston, Miley Cyrus and Emma Watson are all super wealthy, they never had kids and they never will… 43% of all high income women will never have kids.

But Eddie Murphy had 10 kids, Elon Musk had 14, Gordon Ramsay has 6, Clint Eastwood has 8 and Genghis Khan the richest man in History had over 3000 kids.”

I was talking to a very smart conservative friend yesterday, about how Covid has ruined the world.

We concurred that a large majority on both sides have lost their minds. The left has TDS; to right has lost all trust for anything, and consequently thinks everything is a conspiracy.

Trump is not the devil; every event is not some dark rabbit hole.

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

MollyPitcher5

Not a bad conclusion except everything that DJT has been forced to fight for years has been lies. Lies with top drawer architects and at times willing “witnesses” or “victims”. The conspiracies have lasted years and only now are some of them being debunked . J6 was a terrible conspiracy that they used and imprisoned so many.
Conservatives suspected the lies, fought to expose them and every single day we really do have to try to verify all sensational claims which does make us appear paranoid.

BRIGADIER GENERAL BLAINE D. HOLT > Air Force > Biography Display
Gen. Holt is [was] the Deputy United States Military Representative to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). 

Given his former position, it is very interesting to see what Gen. Holt has to say.

scott467( scott467)  July 9, 2026 01:18

I just watched it, that was excellent.

Just one of several great exchanges, in this one, Gen. Holt practically summarizes, in just a few paragraphs, much of what Promethean has been saying for years:

.

(15:47) Rich: “But what the European Union and the UK are out to do is to impose their will on other nations. So Trump has to take them on. No, you don’t get to tell us how our energy what our energy policy should be.”

 

Gen. Holt: “They’re used to it, though. They’re used to telling us what to do, because this has been for too long now a synthetic colonization that’s over a hundred years old, of the United States.

 

The red coats lost at Yorktown. They came back for round two. They lost there. And then the financialists took over. And then the globalists did what they did, starting with our industrialist, Wall Street link up, uh, Woodrow Wilson, the sham 16th amendment, the sham 17th amendment, our taxation, and our the way we pick Senators.

 

And then it just goes deeper and deeper into, because now MI6 is born, 1903, and then we start to see the foundations and the formation of their army called the Deep State. And this extends across all these intelligence agencies.

 

And this is why they have successfully played both sides against the other. But they just synthetically colonized the United States. It’s no accident that the Royal Institute of International Affairs and Chattam House have had the American President-to-be come out and genuflect with them, and everybody’s done that, except for Trump.

 

And it’s no accident that the the President has been in the target of many assassins bullets by now. They don’t want to win this war. They have been in power since the fall of Rome, and they’ve been in every different incarnation. Well, here they are.

 

Ursula is sitting there wondering if the synthetic colonization of the United States is going to hold. Well, you know what? They’re five steps behind him. Like I said, they think this (NATO) Summit’s about money. They’re that’s absolutely ridiculous. And you know, my thought is that as Europe starts to fall into civil wars in some cases, and potentially even where you’re at right now, the cry will come out again, America, come save us.

 

And we will. But again, it’s going to be under very different terms. And what I think, once President Trump gets our domestic affairs over the hump, and that means whatever plan he’s got to take a wire scrubber to all of the infiltration in our government at federal, state and local levels from everything that has tentacles that run through London.

 

Once he’s done that, well then we’ll be in a much stronger position to lend a hand.”

The strategic strike directly disables the Iranian military’s ability to monitor, track, and coordinate coastal maritime movements in the Gulf of Oman, close to the Pakistan border. While the primary commercial harbor infrastructure—including terminals operated under foreign trade agreements—remains structurally isolated from the targets, the destruction of the control tower systematically cripples the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ (IRGC) regional coastal surveillance and maritime interception capabilities in the area.

By neutralizing this critical command-and-control node, Washington is demonstrating its absolute resolve to eliminate any tactical infrastructure capable of threatening or restricting international shipping lanes and commercial transit.

It also means the regime can fall in pieces.

Typically, whenever one city or province goes rogue, the regime can ship in resources from other provinces to suppress the rebellion…..but if there are no bridges, each province can stand or fall on its own.

And then the heat ceases for the rebel provinces and intensifies on the regime.

But when the person in question is also the sole reason for your continued existence in the most violent corner of the globe, it seems suicidal to be indifferent to America falling to communism.

Israel must be the hardest country in the world to understand, because nothing about it makes sense.

JUST IN: The US is considering SEIZING Kharg Island, which is the MAIN sea port for Iran’s oil exports

30 MILLION barrels of oil are stored there, and 90% of their oil exports come through there.

“We attacked Kharg Island last night. We knocked out a piece. I said, ‘don’t touch the oil, because maybe we’ll take over Kharg Island.’

We may take over Kharg Island. And there’s not a THING they can do about it.”

Reporter: “Does this mean talks with Iran will not resume?”

President Trump: “I don’t care. They can talk, but I think they’re wasting their time. They’re a bunch of lying guys. My whole life, that’s all I do is deals… And I deal with these guys, and I say this is from a different school. They’re liars. They’re cheats. They’re sick people.”

“Frankly, I don’t want to waste my time with them… I don’t like these people.”

well, he gave them a chance. they demonstrated to the WORLD that they are not good to their word. POTUS has done everything he could to bring this to a peaceful resolution, but they do not seek peace…only time to rebuild to attack again.
Finish it!

Aubergine

It’s frustrating to me that Trump had to “demonstrate to the world” that Iran won’t keep their word, when there is fifty years of evidence of that fact.

patfrederick

true…but many, here (in the US) as well, were labeling him a war monger–eager to kill and destroy.
And I think he demonstrated patience (misplaced or not) and a willingness to negotiate–honestly negotiate– but he will do what he must to secure this country. If that means blowing Iran off the map, shrug, he has given them ample opportunities for peace. they chose the FA part.
i don’t think he wants a legacy of being a destroyer–he’s a builder–but some times, the building is too damaged to renovate–some times you just got to bring it all to the ground and start over.

TheseTruths

Great points. People forget what is past. They are being shown in real time that Iran has been given every opportunity, and they have not dealt in good faith in this current situation. That’s on them, not PDJT. Your analogy about his being a builder is spot on.

DoD should be paying close attention to drones

SEC. RUBIO: “I think that’s one of the dynamics that’s changed in this war over the last few months, and that is that the Russians are finding it more difficult to defend their own airspace—and what we hope that means is that’s going to create the space now to negotiate the end of this war.”

PRESIDENT TRUMP: “It’s an escalation—but it’s also an escalation that can help lead to an end.”

a green card carrying Kuwati man who obtained lawful resident status, has had that status revoked and is being held and then sent home.

“\The Trump administration will never allow foreigners who denigrate our great nation to abuse the hospitality of the United States and remain on American soil,” a State Department official shared. 
“This foreign national wished harm on our president, referred to America as ‘the enemy,’ and voiced support for foreign terror organizations,” the official added. “Foreign nationals who echo propaganda from foreign adversaries while residing in the United States should expect to find themselves on a deportation flight. They must return home.”

Oh, let me tell you about the farmer’s markets on the Big Island of Hawaii!

For one thing, I discovered that a whole lot of the produce they sell comes from Costco. Yes, true. There are a lot of veggies that just won’t grow on Hawaii.

We also did NOT know about the slug trail slime until we had lived on the Big Island for over a year.

Hawaii DOES NOT ADVERTISE any negative aspect of the Islands. Ambulances don’t use sirens so you can’t hear them. There was a giant theft of weapons from a gun shop while I lived there. I only heard it through the grape vine, it was not reported in media. Anything that might disturb the tourists is ignored.

Hawaii is second world at best, and third world in some places.

P.S. I use raw kale in smoothies. Pro tip: I freeze it first. It makes a better, colder smoothie, and it keeps longer. And guess what?

“Rinsing produce under running water and drying is the best way to remove any parasites from your veggies. Boiling, steaming, and sauteeing veggies for at least 3-5 minutes will kill any lingering larvae. Freezing produce for 48 hours is also effective. For fruit or veggies with a peel or rind (think bananas, mangos, pumpkins, etc.), rinse thoroughly before consuming.”

Out here, there’s very few places to pull over so sirens and emergency lights can be in your rear-view mirror for several minutes. Such excitement.

PSYCHOPATH ERDOGAN GAVE NATO LEADERS LOADED REVOLVERS.
According to reports, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan presented NATO leaders with personalized revolvers as diplomatic gifts during the summit—and the guns were loaded.
One Belgian delegation reportedly only discovered the firearm and ammunition after landing back in Belgium, then handed them over to airport police. Who gives loaded guns as diplomatic gifts?

muslim candidate doesn’t want anyone knowing how rich he is and wants more time to file financial disclosure statements (until after the primary) because of his wife’s and her family assets abroad.
FTA

El-Sayed has been under fire from his Democratic primary opponent, Representative Haley Stevens, after he requested an extension to file his 2026 financial disclosures until after the Senate primary. Stevens has argued that voters should have access to the information in the disclosure before choosing a candidate.
Speaking with journalist Mehdi Hasan, El-Sayed dismissed the criticism, saying the delay stemmed from complicated tax documents. 
“My wife and her family own property abroad, so getting all those tax forms is a thing,” he said.
He also responded to criticism by Stevens of him being a millionaire, saying, “Well, if, if you take my assets and her, my, my wife’s assets together, then I guess they add up to something like that.”

I’ve been here since shortly after the Q Tree grew out of the ground.

I climbed into the CTH in 2015 and certainly had my favorites there. When some of them went missing for several days, I wondered what was going on. And then someone, it might have been Keln, posted about the move of many of them to the Q Tree – and even provided a link.

I wasn’t really aware of the fact the move was forced because of being banned by SD until after I started reading about it all at the Q Tree.

Anyway, I made the choice to stay with Wolf and my CTH favorites, and check in every day.

I was especially happy to be here with like-minded people during COVID! Info and conversations here really reinforced our stance against the shots. We even moved to find a place where we fit in with those who believed in the freedom of choice and the human immune system!

And, I do like to provide a laugh or two to people. You don’t want to be behind me in the check-out line! 😂

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 Thursday, July 9, 2026

“Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.”

2 Thessalonians 2:15 (KJV)

COMMENTARY FOR 2 THESSALONIANS 2:15

Cautions against the error that the time of Christ’s coming was just at hand. There would first be a general apostacy from the faith, and a revealing of the antichristian man of sin. (1-4) His destruction, and that of those who obey him. (5-12) The security of the Thessalonians from apostacy; an exhortation to stedfastness, and prayer for them. (13-17)

13-15 When we hear of the apostacy of many, it is a great comfort and joy, that there is a remnant according to the election of grace, which does and shall persevere; especially we should rejoice, if we have reason to hope that we are of that number. The preservation of the saints, is because God loved them with an everlasting love, from the beginning of the world. The end and the means must not be separated. Faith and holiness must be joined together as well as holiness and happiness. The outward call of God is by the gospel; and this is rendered effectual by the inward working of the Spirit. The belief of the truth brings the sinner to rely on Christ, and so to love and obey him; it is sealed by the Holy Spirit upon his heart. We have no certain proof of any thing having been delivered by the apostles, more than what we find contained in the Holy Scriptures. Let us then stand fast in the doctrines taught by the apostles, and reject all additions, and vain traditions.

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.

SHOW US HOW

Getting close to God a prolonged process
The first thing we must do is get access
His love letter to us many books long
Holds knowledge that shows how to belong

Instructions are there for daily study
No need for an interpreter or a buddy
Just let the Spirit of God be your guide 
He is the counsel that resides inside

Everything you need to know about life
Is detailed and methodical and rife
With history and stories and promises
Situations and sound assurances 

What does God expect and want us to do
His commandments will give us a clue
When we have covered and agreed to all
There is one more Jesus gave to recall

The Bible talks about sin and its peril
How we must repent of what is feral
The consequence of sin is surely death
Separation from God for eternity breath

God loves us so much He left us the key
The instructions and protections to be
Holy as He is holy for it we must strive
Each hour of each day we are alive

Show us how, Lord, to be better than best
To be what you need long before we rest
To serve You in any way that You ask
Willingly and ably up to the task

That way people who are open-minded can see the evidence for themselves and realize just how vile and off base people like Candace Owens are.

Once presented, should be available to the public.

I’d prefer ALL of it released. though I’m sure a legal scholar will educate me otherwise.

Forget legal scholars – we’re in the age of The Bar Rules.

It no longer matters if an attorney does something wrong according to the ethics rules. Now [thanks to lawfare] the State Bar decides if an attorney has the wrong ideas, wrong principles, wrong clients, or simply an unapproved-by-leftists position.

If so, then the attorney’s license-to-practice must be yanked. First it’s suspension. A repeat offense results in disbarment.

Who makes these rules? Leftist lawyers of course, you silly goose.

Talking head, Scott Jenning’s was a staffer for McConnell. Don’t know the details, year(s)…

https://www.kenklippenstein.com/p/mitch-mcconnells-dead-line

MollyPitcher5

FTA~
Whatever the truth of his condition, McConnell — or his aides — have decided the public doesn’t deserve to know what’s going on. Yet by their own account, a handful of officials do deserve to know, as well as one insider who worked for McConnell.

Scott Jennings, a former McConnell staffer turned political commentator and one of the few non-government figures who claims to have spoken with him, was asked about the silence on CNN and said: “Ultimately, these officeholders — you know, they’re in charge of their own operations.”

They’re in charge. Not the four million Kentuckians who have no idea if half their Senate representation is even conscious. Not the 300 million Americans who have to live under the decisions he and his colleagues make. They’re. In. Charge.

TheseTruths

They’re in charge.

That is true, whether we like it or not. They are in charge of how they do things. The Senate has its own rules, but I don’t think this even falls under those. There is no rule or law that says they must report illnesses or absences to the people, that I know of. That’s why I object to comparisons to employers and employees, which IMO are not applicable. Our relationship to someone we elect in a representative republic is nothing like that of an employer to an employee, on a practical basis. They represent us in Congress; they are not employed by us even though our tax dollars pay their salaries. I enumerated a few of the many differences before.

Frustrating? Absolutely, especially if the person is missing votes that the people elected them to take. But if we want it changed, then Congressional rules need to change or they need to make laws that govern situations like these.

Aubergine

“…Congressional rules need to change or they need to make laws that govern situations like these.”

Needs to happen, right now.

Tatonka Woman

Problem is…they never make laws against themselves or their interests.

patfrederick

no matter the status of the turtle, the accounts of people having long conversations that looked like scripted announcements is a stretch.

If i talked with a good friend who had undergone something traumatic…and people were asking me about it, my response would be something like this…

I talked with Mitch, and told him how concerned everyone is and he said to tell everyone thank you for their good wishes. We talked about his recovery and even though it might be slower than he likes, he’s committed to getting back to his office very soon. The Senator and his family ask for privacy at this while he focuses on his recovery.

the nonsense about talking to him for 20-45 minutes about world issues is beyond reasonable imo.

MollyPitcher5

Right?!? IF it was a cardiac event…yet not serious enough for his wife to cancel her trip…and it was several weeks ago…what treatment has been happening? Surgery? No propaganda pix of him sitting up in his hospital bed studying paperwork? Why hasn’t he been discharged?

20-45 minutes talking world issues is laughable 😼 

pgroup2

20-45 minutes talking world issues is laughable

Not if you’re having a conversation with an A.I. simulation of the person …

MollyPitcher5

Exactly.
It’s also curious these good friends of many years haven’t mentioned going to visit dear friend Mitch. After weeks of hospitalization wouldn’t he love the company?
Ugh…it’s a waste of time thinking about this because the smoke and mirrors are in full play and now that his loving wife has returned (or soon) she will be the one to decree to the public his fitness and we shouldn’t question any of it.

pgroup2

So we should take Queen Bee’s word on this?

Aubergine

Which these days is likely, unfortunately.

An AI could simulate any amount of conversation using the person’s voice. And the fool on the other end of the line would have no idea.

Gail Combs

I think, based on some of the other episodes Mitch had, that he had a stroke and not a heart attack. That would explain the long hospitalization.

Aubergine

And the rehabilitation, too.

TheseTruths

talking to him for 20-45 minutes

I missed reports of anyone’s talking with him for over 20 minutes. Do you have a link for the 45-minute claim?

Aubergine

Apparently, the AI imitating McConnell only works for 20 minutes at a time. Maybe after that it starts to glitch:

https://www.yahoo.com/news/politics/articles/why-everyone-saying-talked-mitch-145348201.html

TheseTruths

Silly, IMO, and inaccurate conclusions. Not “everyone” says they talked with McConnell for ~20 minutes. Barrasso and Jennings did. Thune said he had a “long and substantive” conversation with him, and this person ⬇️ did not give an amount of time.

Al Cross, a longtime Kentucky political journalist and journalism professor emeritus who has spent decades covering McConnell and says he’s been in touch with him in recent weeks…

https://www.kenklippenstein.com/p/mitch-mcconnells-dead-line

So two out of four said “20 minutes.” That’s 50% and is not “everyone.” This is how things get blown out of proportion and how people get incorrect ideas.

Aubergine

TT, I know you have a sense of humor in there somewhere.

TheseTruths

Scott Jenning’s was a staffer for McConnell. Don’t know the details, year(s)…

Jennings talked about this in one of the videos he posted the other day. He has known McConnell for years.

Divine Physician, under the canopy of the night sky, I pray for Your healing blessings. Let Your life-giving energy flow through every cell, every nerve, every aspect of my being. May my rest be deep, my healing complete, and my faith in Your power absolute. Bless me with the gift of health, and let my gratitude be a testament to Your mercy. Amen.

Serene Prayer for Recovery

Merciful Restorer, as I seek repose in the stillness of this night, I ask for Your healing hand upon my life. Guide the hands of those who care for me, provide wisdom for the paths of recovery, and grant patience for the journey. In this serene hour, let Your comfort envelop me, as I place my trust in Your plan for a full recovery. Amen.

The [DS] Has Been Put On Notice,[DS]/[CB] Played Right Into Trump’s Trap,Now They All Lose – Ep. 3945

Canada just admitted that the climate agenda was a scam. Now manufactures are moving out of Canada and Canada is moving back to oil to try to compete with the US. IMF letting everyone know they had to lower global outlook, US going in opposite direction. Oil prices holding steady. Soon taxes will be a thing of the past. Trump played the [DS] players and they fell right into his trap, first it was Zelensky then Spain, they folded and gave Trump what he wanted, now he is using the leverage to Greenland. The [DS] thought Trump failed with Iran withe MOU, he knew Iran would violate it, he took the time to plan the next move to keep fuel prices steady and monitor everything they were doing. Harmeet Dhillon put the [DS] players on notice, letting them know if you assist in rigging the election or allow non-citizens vote you will be arrested. Now they all lose

No instascam! No socials like this. Ever.

Meta’s newly launched AI image generator, Muse Image, has sparked immediate privacy concerns after Mark Zuckerberg’s company automatically enrolled all adult users with public Instagram accounts in a feature that allows others to create AI images using their photos. Here’s how to prevent strangers from manipulating photos posted by you and your loved ones.

The New York Times reports that Meta unveiled its AI image generator, Muse Image, with a controversial capability that permits users to generate AI images based on content from public Instagram accounts. The feature, integrated into Meta’s standalone chatbot application Meta AI, was implemented with automatic enrollment for all qualifying users, drawing swift criticism over privacy and consent issues.

The system operates by allowing Meta AI app users to tag public Instagram accounts and direct the chatbot to produce new AI-generated images derived from photos posted on those accounts. According to Meta’s blog post announcement, the feature can utilize “part or all of your published photos” from Instagram to create these AI images. The company also noted that users may be able to create content using Instagram content through various AI features across Meta’s platforms.

A significant source of user frustration stems from Meta’s decision to automatically opt in adult users with public accounts without prior notification. Additionally, the company does not alert account holders when their photos are used to generate AI images, creating what critics described as a transparency gap in the implementation.

From BB comments:

You know how else they can do it, with this or any other AI image generator? They can post a link to the actual image directly (or download the pic and then upload it as an attachment to the chat post) and also type a prompt to edit the image. This will cause the chat bot edit the image. This bypasses entirely the need for the target image to be on an acount that you tagged, and also bypasses the safety mechanism of the person turning on privacy switches on their account, because it bypasses the entire Instagram system entirely, by treating the image as an external image.

The ONLY way to prevent that, is to NEVER upload a picture of yourself to Instagram or ANY other website EVER.

My question is what users agree to when they get an Instagram account. If they agree that Instagram can use their photos however it wishes, then they might be out of luck.

The ONLY way to prevent that, is to NEVER upload a picture of yourself to Instagram or ANY other website EVER.

Isn’t posting photos and videos one of the attractions of Instagram? I’ve been sent links to funny videos and have not known of people using Instagram solely for discussions, but maybe they do.

gil00

Yes thats what instagram is about. But its like having a smart tv. Theyre cheap bc you are putting a data collection device w a microphone in your home making them millions more than selling tvs. Same w instascam which has started an ai data collection to be far faster and insidious.

When Trump left for turkey, I was surprised he flying on the new VC25C 747 from Qatar. Had read it did not have all of the countermeasures as the usual VC25A. The former would require fighter escort overseas.

Was pleased to see theVC25A depart essentially the same time Trump did on the glitzy VC25C.

IRGC truly needs an unrelenting ass whupping, until they submit OR are over thrown. Latter preferred.

JUST IN: Israel had new intelligence of Iran plotting to ASSASSINATE President Trump, and informed the US — WSJ

Not surprising at ALL, even TRUMP confirmed: “I’m number one on their list!” during his Air Force One flight back from Turkey

“Israel recently shared new intelligence with the U.S. that they said showed Iran was considering a new plan to assassinate the president” — WSJ

Keep our president safe at all costs

kalbokalbs

UPDATE: New intel finds Iran was forming new plans to KlLL PRESIDENT TRUMP

Thankfully they have YET to succeed and hopefully never will

Trump made a HUGE move launching strikes on Iran while he was still over in Turkey, which literally borders Iran.

47 is FEARLESS

Why doesn’t DJT just put million dollar bounties on the heads of every member of the IRGC?

They know who most of the bad guys are.

With modern technology, an Iranian citizen could whack one of these criminals, take a selfie with the body, a close up of the thumb (for thumb print scan analysis), and the bounty could be paid immediately in cash transfer or crypto.

Easy peasy.

We have a huge advantage that the Persian People are on our side and want the islamo-fascists gone, just like we do.

So let’s give ’em a little extra monetary incentive to move this process along, and crank up the internal pressure on the islamo-nazis at the same time.

Put these turkeys on the run.

One of the great film noirs is finally getting a 4K restoration and UHD blu-ray release 👍😁

https://www.blu-ray.com/news/?id=38663

Warner Archive has announced that it will release on 4K Blu-ray Jacques Tourneur’s classic film noir Out of the Past (1947), starring Robert Mitchum, Jane Greer, Kirk Douglas, Rhonda Fleming, and Richard Webb. The release is scheduled to arrive on the market on September 2.

Description: Everything you want in a film noir you’ll find in Out of the Past. A tenacious detective (Robert Mitchum) spinning his wheels to make good. A drop-dead beauty (Jane Greer) up to no good. A moneyed mobster (Kirk Douglas) with a shark’s grin. Plus double-crosses and fall guys. Shadowy rooms and bleak souls.

Mitchum solidified his tough-guy persona in this archetypal film noir directed with memorable style by the masterful Jacques Tourneur. He plays Jeff Bailey, a one-time private investigator walking the straight and narrow of small-town life…until an acquaintance from his past pulls him back into the troubles he’d left behind. “Build my gallows high, baby”, Bailey sneers as events stack up behind him. With dialogue like that and much more, Out of the Past builds its reputation high.

Now, meticulously restored and remastered from its original camera negative as a 4K Blu-ray presentation with Dolby Vision®, this seminal noir looks better than ever imagined.

Special Features and Technical Specs:

• TWO-DISC (4K BU-RAY/BLU-RAY) COMBO PACK RELEASE
• 4K RESTORATION OF THE FILM
• DOLBY VISION/HDR PRESENTATION OF THE FILM

• Introduction by Turner Classic Movies “NOIR ALLEY” host EDDIE MULLER

• Feature-length commentary by Film noir author/specialist JAMES URSINI

• Audio-only:

• Robert Mitchum radio appearances:
• HALLMARK PLATHOUSE: “WE WERE EXPENING YOU AT DAKAR” (2/27/1947)
• SUSPENSE “DEATH AT LIVE OAK” (5/16/1947)
• SUSPENSE “THE STORY OF MARKHAM’S DEATH” (10/2/1947)
• Kirk Douglas on SUSPENSE “COMMUNITY PROPERTY” (4/10/1947)
• Optional English SDH subtitles for the main feature.

Karen needs to be educated on Free Speech is a Right in America.

.Female Texas Cop THREATENS to ticket a retired officer and Christian street preacher for “offensive speech”

Cop: “If someone is offended by your talking, then we have a problem…”

Man: “You’re going to ticket us for ‘offensive’ speech?”

Cop: “Yes, I am”

This cop is blatantly violating the 1st Amendment

gil00

I found her based on her ladt name. A whopping 28 yrs old. Absolutely ignorant. She also played the heavy at their 🌈 festival last year. Their chief of police came from san jose in dec of last year. Seems a woke, uneducated dept.

Brave and Free

I think there’s another video of her having the same issues with someone else.

Gail Combs

Sounds like someone should look into a lawsuit against her/department if this has been repetitive.

MollyPitcher5

That’s special that she can basically be antifa but with a uniform and a gun

TheseTruths

This is straight out of the woke playbook:

Cop: “If someone is offended by your talking, then we have a problem…”

Ikr? And shes so sure of her basic failure of understanding rights.

I’m offended by all islamic talking. Can I get that as a ‘to go’ order?

McConnell Reportedly in Rehab and Needs Time to “Physically Recover”

Mitch McConnell is reportedly in rehab and “not brain dead” as we approach week four of the Kentucky Senator’s hospital stay.

Senator Mitch McConnell has been hospitalized since June 14 after a cardiac arrest incident…

NewsNation reported on Thursday that McConnell needs time to physically recover and may be back at the Capitol later this month.

“He’s alive. He’s not brain dead. He’s in rehab and the hospital. With his condition, he needs time to physically recover. But mentally he’s fine. The doctors want to make sure he’s okay,” News Nation reported…

Valerie Curren

That slug story is quite disturbing…yuck!

Valerie Curren

We have some big ones around here. When their slime trails dry, they sometimes sparkle in the sunlight, which is kind of pretty but perhaps also scary.

Valerie Curren

We try to keep Everyone away from poop in general. My daughter’s backyard has had lots of small piles of rabbit poop before but not ours as our dog probably keeps most critters away. There is a faint skunk smell at times, even earlier tonight for instance, nearby though. Why such an animal would come around where a predator is regularly outside is strange in my view.
