Dear MAGA: 20250904 ✾ 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!

How about some music?


Ever heard of this “Rh” stuff – where Rh is not Rhodium?


Apparently this version is slightly different. Enjoy!


How about some Aussie rock?


Let’s finish with some breathless chess reporting!


Have a great weekend!

And they literally toss God out of their Convention.

Christian Broadcast Network: Democratic Convention Meetings Omit, ‘Under God’ from Pledge of Allegiance

CBN News has learned that the words, “under God” were left out of the Pledge of Allegiance at least twice at public meetings during the Democratic National Convention. 

AJ Durrani, the moderator for the DNC’s Muslim Delegates & Allies Assembly, left the words out as their meeting got underway. There was no verbal resistance to the move at the time. Featured speakers at the virtual meeting included DNC Chairman Tom Perez, Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT), and Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib. 

Separately, at the LGBT Caucus Meeting, Dr. Marisa Richmond, a DNC delegate who identifies as transgender and teaches women’s studies at Middle Tennessee State University, led the Pledge of Allegiance but paused silently in the place of the words, “under God.” She was holding both the American flag and the gay pride flag, which dropped to the floor in the middle of the pledge. 

CBN News has reached out to the Democratic National Committee for a response, which so far at least, has yet to come. 

Video: God shouted down at DNC convention.

Breitbart — Chicago Cardinal Blesses DNC Without Mentioning Jesus

Cardinal Blase Cupich, the progressive Catholic Archbishop of Chicago, offered the invocation for the Democratic National Convention (DNC) Monday without ever mentioning Jesus Christ.

Calling him simply the “God of all creation,” Cardinal Cupich invoked the divinity without witnessing to Jesus or calling out the moral evil around him.

Planned Parenthood of America, the United States’ biggest abortion provider, publicly offered free abortions and vasectomies for the duration of the DNC, in keeping with its steadfast support for the Democratic party, which advocates abortion on demand during the nine months of pregnancy.

“Planned Parenthood has long been the driving force behind the culture of death,” American Life League President Judie Brown said in a statement.

“The Democratic party has been at the forefront of fueling the Planned Parenthood engine,” Brown said. “Now that PP has chosen to provide free child killing at the DNC, the combination, or should we say bloody wedding, is complete.”…

The Fake News IMMEDIATELY Jumped allover it to provide cover.

Purposefully or not, they misunderstand the purpose of prayer, which is to connect with God. The Lord is not a vending machine where you insert your prayer and get the result you want. 

Well said.

I just left Minneapolis, where I was honored to meet with a number of grieving famlies and hear about their beautiful children–in particular Harper (10) and Fletcher (8), who died in the Annunciation school shooting. I also met another beautiful girl who is recovering well, thank God. We discussed a lot, but all the families had a couple of immediate requests:

First, to pray for Sophia, who continues to fight for her life every day. Pray for her health, pray for her swelling to be controlled, and pray for strength for her parents, doctors, and nurses.

Second, don’t give the shooter the attention, but focus on the kids who were taken from us. I learned that Harper had a smile that could light up the room, that she loved visiting the national parks with her parents, and that she looked beautiful in her first communion gown. I learned that Fletcher was rambunctious and energetic, that he loved football and basketball, and that he had an amazing head of hair.

Yes, they were taken from their families far too soon. But in their short lives they made a big mark on the many people who loved them. Let’s give them the attention they deserve.

Why would it ever end, unless the attackers are identified and their causes exposed, so everyone can see why it is happening, in order to confront the problem?

But we don’t DO that.

No, we HIDE the attackers and their manifestos, and scrub their social media, in order to protect the ATTACKERS.

Just like &^%$wad Georgie Bush did, telling the whole world that islam was a ‘religion’ of PEACE, they day after islam attacked America on 9/11.

That LIE from the pit of HELL should be a death penalty eligible crime against America, without any statute of limitation.

The biggest evil staring us straight in the face is simply hatred against the God of Christians directed at His people.

TradeBait2

Agreed.

If you do not confront evil face to face, you get what happens next.

Christians are called to stand strong in the face of evil, not bow down to it. We are defenders of the faith and The Way.

Our Declaration of Independence and Constitution state our acknowledgement of God and His providence. Anybody who operates against God and attacks We the People is of Satan and evil. We are charged to defend even if it means we are attacked or die in this world. That means to shine light on all evil and vanquish it.

So fear of evil has no place in America. Those who do are serving the wrong side.

Don’t fall for the propaganda – drugs are an instrument of unconventional warfare & now that the cartels are legally classified as terrorists, what you are watching are counter-terrorism ops in real time. These terrorists are working with all of America’s most serious enemies – from the CCP to Iran. Just like the tariffs, people really do not understand: the balance of power is being restored worldwide.
That means no longer standing by & allowing your enemies to grow stronger while you grow weaker. It means an end to economic warfare, drug warfare & the all-out assault on sovereignty. It means no longer using failed models – like using law enforcement whose jurisdiction ends at the U.S. border – to counter nation states & terrorist orgsworking together w domestic enemies to destroy this country by any means necessary.

Unlike when Obama used strikes to kill American citizens like Anwar al Alaki, targeted action agst terrorist threats is legal.

Those crying about this strike should get used to it – this is business as usual in counter terrorism ops which I witnessed many times over 15 or so years reporting on distant battlefields.

When your child dies from fentanyl, it is not because they were an addict. It is because of a lucrative, deliberate, ruthless campaign to kill as many Americans as poss, destroy families & weaken the nation from within.

patfrederick

this is much more cost effective than arresting them, paying for their lawyers (thru some web of NGO’s we’re funding for the relief of jock itch in Africa) and then when they’re jailed, paying for their care so they can live–until they’re released to start all over again.

kalbokalbs

Also much safer for Americans. At sea physical intercepts at-sea, coming alongside is dangerous enough. Then boarding a boat with hostiles, likely armed.

I’ll take immediate dispatch of bad guys AND the drugs they are hauling. Very tidy closure.

I don’t think that the drone strike on an American citizen was not legal. Was it not a counterstrike in the war, much like whacking that boat of drugs was?

Two points: are we sure he was an American citizen [not that it matters]?
do American civil rights have any authority outside of America?

If there is one message that I hope @USD_PR_HONTata and @SecDef take away from our meeting this morning on Covid reinstatement, it is that they recognize they were in a room full of Christians.

We don’t even represent a fraction of the believers who have been praying for and fighting for the restoration of our military for years. There were prayer calls last night praying over this meeting.

I hope they walk away knowing that the room is full of people who have been PRAYING for their success and for the TRUTH to prevail, because we know it ultimately will.

I can’t assume that those currently writing policy are ill-intended, but I do know those in attendance today will ensure any policy they touch, if given the opportunity, is prayed over and intended for good.

You want to restore the military and the pentagon? Bring in the believers. ✝️ 🇺🇸

Good listen.

Finally a solid way ahead for service members abused during Covid, run out of the service.

Shitbags in uniform AND civilian supporting the illegal harassment and discharges.

Gail Combs

One very important point he made.  Tata,  Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness, WAS NOT aware that the Biden admin pulled a bait and switch and declared an EUA vaccine as the same as the APPROVED vaccine and then used the EUA vaccine instead.

This bait and switch changes the entire legal landscape.

kalbokalbs

Tata may not have known that, or he’s covering his ass. Latter my bet.

We knew about the “approved Jab” was not available. Then they said it was interchangeable.

I believe it was borderline common knowledge, if not majority knew it.

it’s part of how USG bullied private companies to Mandate Jabs OR quit/be fired.

Aubergine

This is my take;

If WE knew it, wrote about it, and published it ONLINE, from that date forward there is NO EXCUSE for anyone in the government to say they didn’t know. PERIOD, 100% end of the story.

If our government, with all it’s data collection power, isn’t monitoring the internet for information it needs and should use, that is THEIR PROBLEM.

Thomas Massie joined forces with #MeToo attorney Gloria Allred in a calculated attempt to smear President Trump and falsely imply he’s covering up for Epstein.

Their plan backfired when victims confirmed they never saw or heard of Trump engaging in any inappropriate or illegal activity. They also said that there is not a written down “Epstein list.”

Thomas Massie is a clown & that “press conference” was nothing more than political theater.

scott467

“They also said that there is not a written down “Epstein list.” ”

_____________

If they didn’t make their own lists for posterity, then they speak of what they know.

They certainly don’t know about anyone else who has a list.

List

I’m going to call it some random word, like a CAN, because the word “list” is clearly causing some kind of mental discombobulation.

So every intelligence agency on the planet has the Epstein files, because if they didn’t, then none of the things Epstein was doing would have any extortion value.

The SDNY, the FIB and the CIA have the same files.

But none of these people, NONE of them, compiled a CAN with the names of each p3d0 in all the files they have on Epstein.

Nope, they didn’t do it.

No CAN exists, which was by design, because then they can diabolically divide and conquer all of the patriots who have decided that the key issue is what the definition of the word CAN is.

It’s so shockingly disingenuous, there aren’t even words.

It’s maddening.

Nobody will defend the position that there is no ‘list’, because it’s a nonsensical position.

They just like to say it, to piss people off.

It’s like saying there’s no Moon.

Person 1: Well yeah there is, it’s right there, you can go outside and see it nearly every night.

Person 2: No, no there’s not. It’s not a Moon, because no one wrote the word “Moon” down anywhere, so you see, it doesn’t exist.

Person 1: Well then what’s that big *&^%ing white round thing in the sky then?

Person 2: Nothing. If you don’t look at it, then it’s not really there. And if no one wrote it, then it doesn’t exist, see?

That’s the equivalent of the conversation we’re having about the ‘list’.

People want to argue a ridiculous made-up technicality that has no application in reality.

Wrong. I have, and I will. You make assumptions and declare that they must be true, you make up your own definitions of words, and you denigrate my comments, which I believe is against the rules here. But I don’t care. It’s so tiresomely predictable.

Nobody will defend the position that there is no ‘list’, because it’s a nonsensical position.

They just like to say it, to piss people off.

Wrong again. You don’t know my motives. What you are engaging in is ridicule, which is also against the rules.

Aubergine

I am not denigrating your comments, but I AM saying you are flat out wrong. And this argument absolutely is ridiculous.

I don’t pretend to know why you are saying it.

TheseTruths

To say this argument is ridiculous is a form of ridicule because you think you are right, but I have a different view; therefore, my view must be ridiculous.

That is ridiculing someone else’s point of view. It is not respectful discourse. Neither is telling someone they are “flat out wrong” about an issue. (Telling them they are wrong if they misrepresent one’s ideas is a different matter.)

Aubergine

I think when someone continues to argue in the face of facts that prove they are wrong, the argument is ridiculous, yes.

And wrong is wrong.

Not stating that something is wrong is how we got to the insane place we are in our country today. Just pretending someone “has a point” or everyone’s opinion is correct or valid is nuts,

I will provide an example from my recent real life. I was in a store downtown, talking with the two ladies who work there about the effectiveness of ivermectin against viruses.

Another lady walked up behind me, and my friend who was working gave me the hairy eyeball. But I was in mid-sentence about how using vitamin I has been so good for me, so I just continued.

After the lady left, my friend told me she’d been rolling her eyes and frowning about what I was saying. I said essentially, tough shit. I’m right, and I’m tired of shutting up about it to “be polite.” In this case, people are literally DYING because of lies, and I won’t do it anymore.

In the case of Epstein, the deceit is breathtaking, and the pretense that there is “no list” is only helping and protecting perverts. So I won’t do it. If you are offended by that, I don’t care, just as I didn’t care when I offended the eye-rolling Karen about ivermectin.

TheseTruths

Thanks for revealing who you are.

Aubergine

Back atcha.

Aubergine

Sorry, but it’s a dead horse that deserves to be beaten.

This whole thing reminds me of arguing with leftists. It’s just so disingenuous.

The idea that something doesn’t exist because it isn’t written down on a piece of paper is ridiculous.

kalbokalbs

  :deadhorse:  was referring to the repetitive posts – same message. Not the literal effort.

Thankfully we have Freedom of speech. Also thankfully, Freedom of scroll.

Aubergine

Agreed.

Unfortunately, I understand the repetitive posts from real life. My DH is one of those who can never just be wrong and admit it. No matter what information is presented, no matter how many facts, how much evidence, no matter what, he has to be right.

The other day, in the middle of the dumbest argument ever, I told him he has no idea that when you’re in a hole, the best thing to do is stop digging. At least that shut him up. Although I’m sure he still thinks he was right.

I get what Scott is doing, because I have to do it all the time. It really is akin to arguing with Bill Clinton about “what the word is, is.”

TheseTruths

The idea that something doesn’t exist because it isn’t written down on a piece of paper is ridiculous.

There’s that “ridicule” word again.

And yet, that isn’t the argument. I stated it clearly yesterday. Since that got ignored, I will state it again.

You presented examples of lists:

So if I ask you who your friends were in college, and you name them all, that’s not a list? 

If I ask you to pick up milk, bread, and eggs at the grocery store, did I not just give you a list?

I you “count your blessings” in prayer, silently, is that not a list?

Those are not written down, and yes, they are lists. They are not lists that anyone else could access or use, but technically they are lists in one person’s head. (Why anyone thinks a list in a person’s head is of use to anyone else is beyond me.)

But, as I said yesterday:

None of the examples you mentioned involve more than one person having the items in their head. There is no such thing as a list, various parts of which reside in multiple people’s heads.

That is not what anyone understands a list to be, I don’t care how people try to spin it. We don’t get to redefine the clear meanings of words just because we want something to be so. Words matter, and their defninitions matter.

I also said:

If someone worked at a firm and several of the people each knew of five names, that would not comprise a list until someone gathered them and wrote them down in one place. If the boss asked for a list, telling him “We each know of a few people” would not go over very well. The boss needs a written list of names.

Now, people can argue about the word “written.” Fine, take that out.

If the boss asked for a list, telling him “We each know of a few people” would not go over very well. He needs a list that he can work off of.

There is no such list at this time in the Epstein case, despite people’s assuming things and making up scenarios to fit their argument. The women and their lawyer confirmed it yesterday.

I can only conclude that those who insist there is a list do not believe the women survivors, nor their lawyer.

In the first, you have the list, and so now do I, when you name them.

In the second, when I give you the list of items, we both have it.

In the third, you have your list, and then so does God.

The fact is, parsing words does not change the fact that there is a list of men who were associated with Epstein who most likely abused young women. Argue it all day long, but you are wrong.

TheseTruths

This is why I think the Demmunists are goading MAGA into self-defeating behavior.

Normally, they LOSE on Epstein, but by getting MAGA to bite its own tongue both ways, they win.

This.

[muffled giggle]

TheseTruths

Just because I stated a list of names doesn’t mean you remember it or can use it.

None of that addresses the issue of various people having various names which are not consolidated in one list.

TheseTruths

Thank you for that.

Have you noticed that everybody wants somebody else to construct the list? To somehow conjure up authority without responsibility by having somebody ELSE create a list?

Yes.

As I watch this argument unfold on here, I see demands by what could be described as a MAGA mob for an illegal list of alleged perps of alleged crimes, and I see Steve’s parting point that this is performative. It is not reasoning. It is a demand for mob justice.

I understand Steve’s low tolerance for lack of reason.

DOJ is wisely returning the performative act of mob justice TO THE MOB. Releasing everything they legally can is genius. Let Benny pore over the documents. If he won’t, I will, at my leisure, because I can easily predict what’s not there, now.

Exactly.

The only way that an illegal list of alleged perps of alleged crimes will happen is when the victims make accusations that they and their attorneys have so far refused to make, many of which will be actionable if not true, and will likely be actionable even if true (which is sad, but true).

I can’t imagine their revealing names to the public and not the DOJ, or before they are given to the DOJ. Actionable, indeed, in more ways than one.

A mob-generated #Epstein list will become a #MeToo list. Bigger and bigger, until 200,000 murdered Jews turns into 2 million, into 4 million, into 6 million, 10 million, 12 million, into 16 million, and finally into 18 million, until somebody says “TRUMP IS ON THE LIST!”. Of course, by then, I’ll be on the list, too. Maybe I should volunteer to be on the list right now, and taint it from the outset.

Democrat hoax. Trump is right.

And Trump will STILL win, while THEY, THE ACCUSERS will suffer for it. 😂

Again, thank you for this perspective. Looking beneath the surface, beyond the obvious and beyond what we are being steered to see, is not only valuable but necessary. Operating out of emotion about a single issue, when some are very likely using that issue against us, is not the wisest course to take.

Gail Combs

Also notice that there IS movement in going after child sex traffickers.

COMPARE:

Biden’s DOJ removes ‘international sex-trafficking’ of kids as an area of concern from it’s Website

The Biden administration’s open borders policy has created one problem after another.

But probably the most disturbing of them is the international trafficking of children, done to “service” perverts here in the U.S.

The film “Sound of Freedom,” which blew past Hollywood’s woke Indiana Jones sequel, is about this kind of abhorrent sex trafficking of children, and is now leading at the box office.

There’s no question there’s a major problem here and the public wants something done.

But incredibly, the White House and its Department of Justice doesn’t seem to think there’s a problem at all, or would rather the public ignore it — or worst of all, are part of the problem…

May 07, 2025 DOJ, FBI Operation Led To Arrest Of Over 200 Alleged Child Sex Predators In Just Five Days

The operation, a collaboration between the Department of Justice (DOJ) and 55 FBI field offices, led to the arrests of 205 alleged perpetrators, who hurt a total of 115 child victims, Bondi said.

“These depraved human beings, if convicted, will face the maximum penalty in prison,” Bondi said. “If you are online targeting a child, you will not escape us. The FBI and the Department of Justice [DOJ] will come after you, and we will prosecute you.”

“The victims having to construct a list publicly (I’m sure they’ve done it privately) means that DOJ certainly never produced one that could in fact be released.”

Why couldn’t it be released?

Law enforcement issues BOLOs all the time, when they have identified a suspect or suspects in a crime, and seek public assistance to find the bad guys.

So what prevents the gov’t from issuing a BOLO on all the men who visited Epstein Island, with name and photograph, saying:

The DoJ is looking for the following people in connection with an investigation into suspected criminal activity on Epstein Island.

If you have information or know where anyone on this LIST can be found, please call 1-800-CRO-OKED.”

We know the government has the flight logs for the trips to Epstein Island, so that’s the first element to use for compiling the “List”. All of the names from the flight logs that went to Epstein Island go on the List.

We know that Prince Andy goes on the list, because there is photographic evidence of him with his arm around the waist of Virginia Guiffre, with Ghislane Maxwell standing nearby, so it was likely Epstein himself who took the photo.

We know that Bill Clinton goes on the List, both because he is on the flight logs (at least 29 times, IIRC), and because a member of his own Secret Service detail has stated that he requested a duty transfer after Bubba went into the back bedroom on the Lolita Express with an underage girl.

So we have a great starter LIST already, based solely on already publicly known information.

Then add all the men who were recorded engaging in sex acts with minors, the evidence of which was seized at Epstein Island, and for which there is photographic evidence OF that evidence, including a photo of stacks of CD-roms in boxes with the word “EVIDENCE” written on them.

The word ‘Evidence’ wasn’t written by the FIB after they seized it, but written by Epstein himself, apparently in his own handwriting. Epstein labeled 100s of CD-roms as ‘EVIDENCE’.

Evidence of what?

Enquiring minds want to know, that’s for sure.

Why are all of these men not put on a BOLO list, with the government seeking to question these men about their activities on Epstein Island, pursuant to a criminal investigation, and to have them participate in a suspect line-up, where the girls who they abused can try to pick them out of a line-up?

Sounds like the makings of a fine LIST, and a perfectly valid reason to release it.

If they didn’t make their own lists for posterity, …

If they did make their own lists, it would be for future extortion efforts.

Think about it …

Gail Combs

I think the correct position is EPSTEIN never made a list.

(However that does not mean he was not handed a target list AND that Donald Trump was on it.)

Slow Guy prediction.

Broken Down Ford comes to mind.

As real witnesses come forward (good), one or more paid shitheads will be foisted up. Quietly, discretely, long on accusations, totally lacking anything verifiable facts.

At first smoke will be manufactured. Until there is a flame, fire, bon fire, inferno…

  • Some shitbag will get paid to say Trump blah, blah, blah…

Pravda will go ballistic. Uniparty shitbags pile on.

Trump, innocent will stand tall, defiant, as he always does.

True MAGA will Not waiver, standing aside trump.

Hope I am totally out to lunch.

You might be out to lunch but you’re quite adorable there.  😂 

Seriously, the only thing wrong with your comment is that somebody is going to accuse DJT. They’ve learned their lesson on that one.

Love the optimism. That they have learned their lesson. Wiley C Coyote comes to mind.

Epstein stuff, is the only thing, Dumrats have latched onto that has traction.

Gail Combs

Nancy Piglouse’s smear tactic comes to mind.

TheseTruths

I think they’re still trying to pin something Epstein-related on Trump. They are running out of options to damage him, and of course we know they have no problem making up lies. They probably see a lot of opportunities in huge tranches of Epstein material to find something they can twist into trouble for Trump.

kalbokalbs

 pin something Epstein-related on Trump.

This IS the root cause, of “Epstein” resurfacing a few months back.

Through it all, ideally pedo(s) AND abuses of women will face accountability.

Trump will come out unscathed. Dumrats remain frustrated.

patfrederick

to be fair, there was no “evidence” presented that could be refuted. this was a “feelings” case targeting ONE man. seriously, she couldn’t produce the dress with the dna, didn’t remember the YEAR, let alone the date, and picked a location that was known for LOCKED dressing rooms.
AND she had a complete makeover to even look, how to say this delicately? doable.
sanity was not present in that courtroom. hatred was.

We are entering the FIRE, and I think weaker MAGA will be melted away by a variety of tactics, including Epstein, Palestine, and anything else they try to throw at Trump.

Gail Combs

I think E. Jean Carroll was the trial run for an Epstein Accuser.

Robert Baker

I would think that the time to bring out the Epstein Accuser would have been in the interregnum between 45 and 47. During that time the Dems would have the maximum power to obtain the desired result.

pgroup2

Well, that ship has certainly sailed on by.

And it’s good that it did.

Gail Combs

I think they were, at that time, more interested in focusing on ‘Insurrectionist — He can not run for office’

The Epstein crap would be held in reserve for IF and when Trump did get back into office.

TradeBait2

He told everybody who he was when he joined Allred.

The loss of his wife has hurt him deeply. It is sad. Not excusing his positions. He is no longer qualified to represent constituents IMO.

Isn’t she representing the women as their attorney? He would have to “join” Allred if he wanted to speak with her clients, correct?

I hate her, but if she is their attorney, she’s their choice.

Aubergine

That was the “I hate her” part. But she is an attorney, and it is her client’s choice.

Pure speculation about Massie’s motives.

It’s great when they come out of the closet and expose themselves. Now we know who owns Cassidy…
Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) and Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla on Wednesday said President Trump deserves a Nobel Peace Prize for rapidly distributing the COVID-19 vaccine during the pandemic.
“President Trump deserves a Nobel Prize for Operation Warp Speed,” Cassidy said in a Wednesday statement on X.
His comment comes hours after Bourla said Trump saved 14 million lives globally by implementing Operation Warp Speed, a joint effort between the Department of Health and Human Services and Department of Defense to accelerate the development, manufacturing, and distribution of COVID-19 vaccines.

So, IMO, he’s truing to do an “end-run” around this by maneuvering POTUS47 Trump into “agreeing” with him and Sen. Cassidy.
THIS IS A TRAP FOR POTUS47 TRUMP.

Regarding Sen. Dr. Cassidy — search his name at https://opensecrets.org/
Sen. Dr. Cassidy is OWNED by Big Pharma and “medical-associated” entities via their campaign contributions to him.

‘The notion that rights don’t come from laws, and don’t come from the government, but come from the Creator… That’s what the Iranian government believes. So the statement that our rights do not come from our laws or our governments is extremely troubling.”
Words of our Constitution:
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness – constitutioncenter

ICE Has Busted a Massive Illegal Alien Pedophile Network in California ICE officials have informed me that 10 criminal aliens, all convicted sex offenders and pedophiles, were arrested today in California’s Central Valley.
Gavin Newsom was giving these monsters a sanctuary, putting American children at risk. The Trump Administration is cracking down. “Thanks to the brave men and women of ICE, these sickos are off our streets. Gavin Newsom was letting them live comfortably and thrive while putting Americans at risk,” said a DHS spokesperson.
“Under President Trump and Secretary Noem, nowhere in America is a safe haven for criminal illegal aliens. If you break our laws, we will hunt you down, arrest you, deport you, and you will never return.”

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, September 4, 2025

“For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.” 

Matthew 24:5 (KJV)

COMMENTARY FOR MATTHEW 24

“Christ foretells the destruction of the temple. (1-3) The troubles before the destruction of Jerusalem. (4-28) Christ foretells other signs and miseries, to the end of the world. (29-41) Exhortations to watchfulness.” (42-51)

(1-3) “Christ foretells the utter ruin and destruction coming upon the temple. A believing foresight of the defacing of all worldly glory, will help to keep us from admiring it, and overvaluing it. The most beautiful body soon will be food for worms, and the most magnificent building a ruinous heap. See ye not all these things? It will do us good so to see them as to see through them, and see to the end of them. Our Lord having gone with his disciples to the Mount of Olives, he set before them the order of the times concerning the Jews, till the destruction of Jerusalem; and as to men in general till the end of the world.”

(4-28) “The disciples had asked concerning the times, When these things should be? Christ gave them no answer to that; but they had also asked, What shall be the sign? This question he answers fully. The prophecy first respects events near at hand, the destruction of Jerusalem, the end of the Jewish church and state, the calling of the Gentiles, and the setting up of Christ’s kingdom in the world; but it also looks to the general judgment; and toward the close, points more particularly to the latter. What Christ here said to his disciples, tended more to promote caution than to satisfy their curiosity; more to prepare them for the events that should happen, than to give a distinct idea of the events. This is that good understanding of the times which all should covet, thence to infer what Israel ought to do. Our Saviour cautions his disciples to stand on their guard against false teachers. And he foretells wars and great commotions among nations. From the time that the Jews rejected Christ, and he left their house desolate, the sword never departed from them. See what comes of refusing the gospel. Those who will not hear the messengers of peace, shall be made to hear the messengers of war. But where the heart is fixed, trusting in God, it is kept in peace, and is not afraid. It is against the mind of Christ, that his people should have troubled hearts, even in troublous times. When we looked forward to the eternity of misery that is before the obstinate refusers of Christ and his gospel, we may truly say, The greatest earthly judgments are but the beginning of sorrows. It is comforting that some shall endure even to the end. Our Lord foretells the preaching of the gospel in all the world. The end of the world shall not be till the gospel has done its work.”

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.

MY CUP OVERFLOWS

His truth overwhelms dearly and daily;
Manifesting blessings aptly and ably;
By those who accept Jesus as Lord;
Whose actions – through faith – create accord!

His love continues to light up a world;
Congested with turmoil – in truth – unfurled;
Perverse with evil – at every turn;
Wherein for relief – many hearts will yearn!

Justifying – His Word – shines forthwith;
In the least likely place – truth dispels myth;
Just when you think you have heard enough;
The tough get tender; the tender get tough!

The Warring Angels send the demons flying;
The Comforting Angels curtail the lying;
The Spirit surrounds the afflicted in truth;
And dispels the myth created in youth!

Through prayer and remorse, the cold heart softens;
Normally – not quickly – nor as often;
However – at times – the Spirit moves swiftly;
And Grace flows freely to heal quite quickly!

Witnessing the swiftness surely astounds;
The Power of the Spirit – it surrounds;
All who were connected through the airwaves;
Can have no doubt in mind – that Jesus saves!

My Cup Overflows with gratitude;
Happiness reigns without platitude;
No admonition to reel this soul in;
The Love of Jesus flowed freely within!

All Praise and Honor and Glory are His;
In Him, Through Him, and With Him it is;
The gift of His Spirit indwelling within;
The ransom He paid – the high price of sin!

Let your cup overflow with happiness today;
Where there is a will; there will be a way;
Patience is a Virtue; a Virtue is a Grace;
Put ‘em both together – you get a Happy Face!

Good morning, C&C, it’s Thursday! And it’s a C&C special edition. Things are moving faster than we dreamed possible. Yesterday, Florida made the historic announcement that it would end its liberal vaccine exemption program by ditching vaccine mandates altogether. You can’t believe the apocalyptic meltdown the left is having. Let’s dig in to this spectacular story.

Gail Combs

“…In essence, Ladapo argued it is ‘wrong’ —immoral— to coerce a human being into taking an injected substance that they don’t want….”

I could not find my copy, but Mike Adams had the documentation. This was over the fight about raw milk.

FDA says you have no right to real food… – NaturalNews.com

In a legal response, the FDA countered that “there is no ‘deeply rooted’ historical tradition of unfettered access to food of all kinds.” As evidence for this position, the agency cites “the dietary laws of biblical times.”

The FDA goes further, stating that “there is no absolute right to consume or feed children any particular kind of food [because] comprehensive federal regulation of the food supply has been in effect at least since Congress enacted the Pure Food and Drugs Act of 1906. … Thus, plaintiffs’ claim to a fundamental privacy interest in obtaining ‘foods of their own choice’ for themselves and their families is without merit.”

In other words, the agency has stated that because Congress has given FDA the authority to regulate food, there is no such thing as a right to acquire any given food.

Furthermore, the FDA says,👉 “there is no generalized right to bodily and physical health.”👈

“Finally, even if such a right did exist, it would not render FDA’s regulations unconstitutional because prohibiting the interstate sale and distribution of unpasteurized milk promotes ‘bodily and physical health.'”

Seems to me the FDA is saying in a roundabout way that we are SLAVES.

pgroup2

Are you surprised?

I’m only surprised that they put it in writing.

Aubergine

“there is no absolute right to consume or feed children any particular kind of food [because] comprehensive federal regulation of the food supply has been in effect at least since Congress enacted the Pure Food and Drugs Act of 1906″

Oh, wow. Who knew the whole history of the world is only 119 years old.

Assholes.

GA/FL

The FDA is about to Find Out.

Gail Combs

I sure hope so!!!

This has been a very long fight.

Aubergine

Thank you very much for downloading all that information. I just don’t have the bandwidth, so to speak, to download it all.

I look forward to any comments, analysis, or thoughts you have about it.

pgroup2

None of this is relevant to anybody’s lived experience. It is only relevant to those engaged in gossiping and playing The Moral High Ground game. No charges will ever be filed due to, or derivative of, events that are alleged to have occurred.

It is the biggest shiny ‘look squirrel’ toy ever.

IMO.

TheseTruths

I’m guessing you mean questions that were asked of Maxwell during her trial, or in relation to it? I listened to a portion of her recent interview with Todd Blanche, and there was nothing explosive in it that I heard. I think if there had been, it would have been brought to light. But it got largely ignored.

pgroup2

Doubt very much if anything was said by Maxwell at trial. Fifth Amendment, and all that.

TheseTruths

I respect your point of view. People think there is going to be a big reveal with charges filed. I have no idea, but I’m assuming you speak from a legal perspective as well as a personal one.

Aubergine

That clip from Aliens did seem slightly different, like a few lines were extra.

My favorite part is how, in only a few minutes of film, Aliens absolutely nails Marine Corps culture. I’ve met every one of those people in one form or another. The best line?

“Somebody wake up Hicks.”

wowohwow1528

When my two to oldest brothers enlisted in the Marine Corps instead of being drafted in 1964 after my Dad died in 1962 they went straight to Vietnam. God is faithful and they came home but they were different, quiet and it fatigued and wouldn’t talk about it. They didn’t sleep well and were easily startled.

Aubergine

War is awful. That particular war, the way it was fought, where, and how, was particularly awful.

Gail Combs

Sam for a lot of my friends who went to ‘Nam. I was at Ft Jackson as it was winding down.

It’s a good point, but my guess is “no.” He is still talking during a congressional session. He’s just saying that he’s not speaking politically but medically.

ROBERT F. KENNEDY JR. JUST LAID DOWN THE HAMMER: Change has its enemies. That’s why we need new blood at CDC.

The Minneapolis “trans” shooter’s previous girlfriend was a “furry.” At one point he pointed a gun at the back of her head to see if he “felt anything.”

Apparently his father knew about the relationship, though it’s not clear whether he knew what she was into.

However, Westman’s father told investigators after the shooting that his son recently “broke up with a significant and/or romantic partner.”

BREAKING: DOJ Opens Criminal Investigation into Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook Over Mortgage Fraud Allegations

The Justice Department said on Thursday that Lisa Cook has officially come under a criminal investigation, probing allegations of mortgage fraud.

According to the Wall Street Journal, Ed Martin, the Justice Department’s “Weaponization Czar,” is coordinating the investigation. Subpoenas have already been issued to determine whether she fraudulently obtained property loans.

…Last week, Pulte submitted a second criminal referral over a condominium in Cambridge, Massachusetts, a third home that she “consistently listed” as an “investment/rental property, not a second home,” Pulte said…

A Politico article that is full of snark, but I hadn’t seen this news anywhere else.
House votes to establish a new committee to investigate Jan. 6 attack

House members voted Wednesday to officially establish a new panel to investigate the events around the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol.

…Language to create the new, GOP-led select subcommittee was buried in a larger “rule” that included a host of other provisions, including a formal approval of the House Oversight Committee’s investigation into Jeffrey Epstein. It will fall under the purview of the House Judiciary Committee and be chaired by Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-Ga.), who will, in his new role, have unilateral authority to issue subpoenas. 

He plans to use his gavel to review security and intelligence failures around the attacks; many GOP lawmakers have blamed then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) for allowing the Capitol to be breached in the first place and have in general downplayed the significance of the event.

Loudermilk will preside over a group of eight lawmakers to be appointed by Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.); Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) will be able to consult on at most three of those members. In an interview, Loudermilk said he was sending Johnson his picks, and while the list had not yet been finalized, he pointed to Rep. Troy Nehls (R-Texas) as a potential selection.

Nehls is a former sheriff who helped Capitol Police stave off rioters who tried break onto the House floor during the siege. Then-House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) had initially made Nehls one of his picks to sit on the Democratic-led Jan. 6 committee, but withdrew GOP participation after Pelosi refused to seat his other selections, including the current Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan (R-Ohio).

Asked how the previous Jan. 6 committee will inform the new panel’s work, Loudermilk said the goal was to create a report that more accurately reflected the events at the Capitol that day.

“The evidence is irrefutable that there was more politics than there was truth in that,” he said of the previous panel’s findings. “What we saw in the initial investigation, there was a lot more politics involved in decision-making than there ever should’ve been.”

Loudermilk will be required to produce a final report of the subcommittee’s finding by the end of 2026.

In other words it will take forever, but if information comes out during their investigation, that could be useful.

Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Thomas Massie Vow to Publicly Read Names on Epstein Client List on the House Floor – Greene: “I’ll Say Every Damn Name that Abused These Women”
They would do it while Congress is in session so they can have immunity by hiding behind the “speech or debate” clause.

And I say “hiding” because IMO this is an ill-advised move. It’s possible that innocent people’s names could be mistakenly connected, and there would be no way to know that before investigations are done.

One of the women said:

“We know the names. Many of us were abused by them. We will compile the names we all know were regularly in the Epstein world…

That’s an interesting choice of wording. Even in that setting, she couldn’t bring herself to say “all who were guilty of abusing us,” or something similar.

“All names that were regularly in the Epstein world” are not necessarily guilty of abuse. It’s possible that 100% of them were, but it’s also possible that 100% of them were not. This is not something to take lightly. False accusations of this kind can destroy a person’s life.

…and it will be done by survivors and for survivors; no one else involved,” Lisa said.

I don’t know what that means. Of course someone else will be involved. Their lawyer(s), for one. MTG, for another, who says she will read the names in Congress. Of course they are going to give whatever list they come up with to someone else, probably the DOJ, unless some problems are found with it, which is highly likely.

I have no respect for this kind of unthinking emotional bravado. Acting out of emotion can cause trouble for a lot of people.

Presumably, the DOJ has had access to this alleged client list. Have they done anything about it?

Is this list indictable and prosecutable evidence and is there supporting evidence?

Did Gislaine Maxwell confirm the names? Are they prosecutable?

TheseTruths

The women in the press conference yesterday said they were coming up with a list. That’s what is in question here.

Is this list indictable and prosecutable evidence and is there supporting evidence?

Did Gislaine Maxwell confirm the names? Are they prosecutable?

Good questions. So much is unknown. It’s not a simple matter of some women naming names, they get prosecuted, and that’s it. Not by a long shot.

It will be interesting to see if they come up with a list to begin with. If they do, I would guess it would be turned over to the DOJ. MTG has no business getting her hands on it because IMO that could taint investigations.

Your question about supporting evidence is important. Some of the women will have the word of others who witnessed things. But if it gets that far, defense attorneys will poke holes in everything that they can. People seem a little smug now, but unless there is solid photographic evidence and the like, I’m guessing these cases will be hard to prove. That said, I want the perps caught, stopped, and prosecuted. I just think we need to monitor our expectations.

Aubergine

““We know the names. Many of us were abused by them.”

So at least some of the names they know are abusers. Who deserve to be exposed.

The DOJ should be doing the job, investigating the names. We should know that is happening. But we know it isn’t, because Pam Bondi told us they were finished with it. It pisses me off that we are here. Investigations should be occurring, and they are not. Which gives people like Massie the opportunity to do what he’s doing.

The DOJ has a history of ignoring/covering up sex abuse. See Larry Nassar and the Olympians. People know about that, and they are rightly suspicious.

We should have a DOJ telling us they are investigating in order to have answers to your questions. But we don’t.

kalbokalbs

MTG, “I’ll Say Every Damn Name that Abused These Women”
Q. Have people behind those names been found guilty? IF yes, OK. IF NOT…

  • MTG and whoever, read the exact same list of names, .anywhere they are NOT shielded by immunity.
  • Read them on The Five (Faux News), a Sunday talk show..
  • Then let the chips fall where they may.

Hiding behind immunity IS Cowardly. Part of the problem.

TheseTruths

Exactly.

Aubergine

What is infuriating about this is, we would not be here if the DOJ was doing its job, and investigating.

All they had to do was assign some people to fully investigate the Epstein files, tell us they were doing it, and none of this would be happening.

But something is wrong, and it seems many Trump supporters are just unwilling to admit it. We didn’t get from “Phase 1” release to “there’s nothing there” in any methodical way.

kalbokalbs

It is, infuruating.

Aubergine

I was going to edit my comment to include this:

MTG and the others who met with these women probably heard things that would make your hair stand on end. Nancy Mace had to leave; I saw pictures of her in the hall, and she looked shell-shocked, sad, and pale. Really bad.

Women have empathy for the experiences had by Epstein’s victims. MTG is probably, like me, mad as hell, and fed up.

As for protecting herself with Congressional immunity, I would use it if I had it, if it meant bringing justice for these victims.

I think people have forgotten that many of these women were paid off to maintain their silence, and signed NDA’s. I imagine they thought at the time that money was at least some justice. But wounds like these have a way of eating at your soul. Knowing your abusers are walking around free as a bird while you have nightmares about them is a hard place to be.

Ask me how I know.

Nope.

Posted many a time.

Slippery slope. They can still get a gun. It’s not difficult.

IF someone is too dangerous to buy / own a gun, they should be locked up.

holly

Speaking of slippery slopes – New York has a Red Flag Law that prevents a person who appears to be a threat to themselves or others from purchasing or possessing any kind of firearm. Anyone – family, friends, neighbors – can file an Extreme Risk Protection Order application to the local court.

kalbokalbs

Yup. Red Flag laws are an abomination.

Since we are on 2A.

I also believe someone that lost their Right to own a gun, because of being guilty of, whatever, should have their Right to own a gun restored.

  • Restored after satisfying whatever punishment / sentence awarded at their trial. Jail time, fines, whatever.

Zero reason gun Rights should be canceled for life, for a Free Man, Woman…

Stepping down from my soap box.

Likely so, setting another trap for Dumrats.

Gudthots

Think of it as an opportunity to observe an “operation.”

Some think well it’s easy, trans is a mental illness and the mentally ill shouldn’t have guns. But how does that actually work? If you take away their guns, shouldn’t their car, their cutlery, their internet also be taken from them? If they are that dangerous, you better, (1) prove it without a shadow of a doubt, (2) lock them up.

If you have been paying attention today, you have seen numerous articles from all of the major news outlets saying that the Trump DOJ is looking to prevent transgenders from having guns.

All of this is from anonymous sources.

Please step away from the content of this message and consider the form for a moment, and why you are seeing it.

First of all, it is a good rule of thumb to NEVER trust ANY anonymously sourced stories.

In this case, however, there are so many instances of anonymous sourcing of the same message to so many different media outlets that it is clear someone is running an information op to influence the actions of certain Americans.

Perhaps it’s the Trump Administration trying to trick Democrats into defending gun rights?

Or perhaps it’s Deep State “resisters” trying to influence MAGAs into defending transgender “rights”?

Or perhaps another agenda?

Again, please step away from the content of this particular issue, regardless of where you stand on it, and recognize that this an information op as part of the Information War designed to influence YOUR thinking.

It’s rare to see such an overtly obvious example of this phenomenon, so I wanted to call it to everyone’s attention.

Aubergine

I don’t think it’s particularly rare, but maybe I’m just more used to looking for it.

This one is definitely a planted story. But who planted it is the interesting part.

As for me, I think removing gun rights from a “class” of people is a bad idea. It just leads to people calling ME crazy, and trying to prevent me from having guns. Which I used to have, but then there was this wild boating accident…

The D’s are panicking, they cannot stop the evidence of their crimes from coming out. The D’s try to shutdown RFK Jr in regards to covid and vaccines, they failed.

A Third Of All DC District Judges Were Not Born In United StatesOf all the judges in the U.S. all five foreign-born judges of the D.C. court managed to get their fingerprints on controversial Trump cases.

https://thefederalist.com/2025/03/25/a-third-of-all-dc-district-judges-were-not-born-in-united-states/

United States District Court for the District of Columbia, the source of many of the cases interfering with President Donald Trump’s authority, has 15 judges, (Counting Chief Judge James Boasberg) and five of them were born outside the United States.

While country of origin doesn’t come up in most jobs, it is worth asking if judges with ties to foreign nations and cultures are the right ones to make decisions affecting the U.S. military or immigration.

The concept of foreign-born judges is a newer phenomenon in this district. In addition to the 15 main judges, the D.C. District has 10 older, senior judges who still occasionally hear cases in the district. This group, nominated as far back as Ronald Reagan the 1980s, were all born in the U.S.

But starting in 2014, former President Barack Obama appointed Judge Tanya Sue Chutkan, born in Kingston, Jamaica. She was in the U.S. by 1979, attending George Washington University. Before sitting on federal court, she had no experience as a judge. Chutkan is overseeing the legal challenge to DOGE’s work to slash excess government spending.
