On this day and every day –
God is in Control
. . . and His Grace is Sufficient, so . . .
Keep Looking Up
Hopefully, every Sunday, we can find something here that will build us up a little . . . give us a smile . . . and add some joy or peace, very much needed in all our lives.
“This day is holy to the Lord your God;
do not mourn nor weep.” . . .
“Go your way, eat the fat, drink the sweet,
and send portions to those for whom nothing is prepared;
for this day is holy to our Lord.
Do not sorrow,
for the joy of the Lord is your strength.”
The Abrahamic Covenant
A covenant is an agreement between two parties. There are two basic types of covenants: conditional and unconditional. A conditional or bilateral covenant is an agreement that is binding on both parties for its fulfillment. Both parties agree to fulfill certain conditions. If either party fails to meet their responsibilities, the covenant is broken and neither party has to fulfill the expectations of the covenant. An unconditional or unilateral covenant is an agreement between two parties, but only one of the two parties has to do something. Nothing is required of the other party.
The Abrahamic Covenant is an unconditional covenant. The actual covenant is found in Genesis 12:1–3. The ceremony recorded in Genesis 15 indicates the unconditional nature of the covenant. When a covenant was dependent upon both parties keeping commitments, then both parties would pass between the pieces of animals. In Genesis 15, God alone moves between the halves of the animals. Abraham was in a deep sleep. God’s solitary action indicates that the covenant is principally His promise. He binds Himself to the covenant.
Later, God gave Abraham the rite of circumcision as the specific sign of the Abrahamic Covenant (Genesis 17:9–14). All males in Abraham’s line were to be circumcised and thus carry with them a lifelong mark in their flesh that they were part of God’s physical blessing in the world. Any descendant of Abraham who refused circumcision was declaring himself to be outside of God’s covenant; this explains why God was angry with Moses when Moses failed to circumcise his son (Exodus 4:24–26).
God determined to call out a special people for Himself, and through that special people He would bless the whole world. The Lord tells Abram,
“I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you;
I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing.
I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse;
and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you” (Genesis 12:2–3).
Based on this promise, God later changed Abram’s name from Abram (“high father”) to Abraham (“father of a multitude”) in Genesis 17:5. As we’ve seen, the Abrahamic Covenant is unconditional. It should also be taken literally. There is no need to spiritualize the promise to Abraham. God’s promises to Abraham’s descendants will be fulfilled literally.
The Abrahamic Covenant included the promise of land (Genesis 12:1). It was a specific land, an actual property, with dimensions specified in Genesis 15:18–21. In Genesis 13:15, God gives Abraham all the land that he can see, and the gift is declared to be “forever.” God was not going to renege on His promise. The territory given as part of the Abrahamic Covenant is expanded in Deuteronomy 30:1–10, often called the Palestinian Covenant.
Centuries after Abraham died, the children of Israel took possession of the land under Joshua’s leadership (Joshua 21:43). At no point in history, though, has Israel controlled all of the land God had specified. There remains, therefore, a final fulfillment of the Abrahamic Covenant that will see Israel occupying their God-given homeland to the fullest extent. The fulfillment will be more than a matter of geography; it will also be a time of holiness and restoration (see Ezekiel 20:40–44 and 36:1—37:28).
The Abrahamic Covenant also promised many descendants (Genesis 12:2). God promised that the number of Abraham’s children would rival that of “the dust of the earth” (Genesis 15:16). Nations and kings would proceed from him (Genesis 17:6). It is significant that the promise was given to an aged, childless couple. But Abraham “did not waver through unbelief” (Romans 4:20), and his wife Sarah “considered him faithful who had made the promise” (Hebrews 11:11). Abraham was justified by his faith (Genesis 15:6), and he and his wife welcomed Isaac, the son of promise, into their home when they were 100 and 90 years old, respectively (Genesis 21:5).
God reiterates the Abrahamic Covenant to Isaac and to his son Jacob, whose name God changes to Israel. The great nation is eventually established in the land where Abraham had dwelled. King David, one of Abraham’s many descendants, is given the Davidic Covenant (2 Samuel 7:12–16), promising a “son of David” who would one day rule over the Jewish nation—and all nations—from Jerusalem. Many other Old Testament prophecies point to the blessed, future fulfillment of that promise (e.g., Isaiah 11; Micah 4; Zechariah 8).
The Abrahamic Covenant also included a promise of blessing and redemption (Genesis 12:3). All the earth would be blessed through Abraham. This promise finds its fulfillment in the New Covenant (Jeremiah 31:31–34; cf. Luke 22:20), which was ratified by Jesus Christ, the son of Abraham and Redeemer who will one day “restore everything” (Acts 3:21).
Five times in Genesis 12, as God is giving the Abrahamic Covenant, He says, “I will.” Clearly, God takes the onus of keeping the covenant upon Himself. The covenant is unconditional. One day, Israel will repent, be forgiven, and be restored to God’s favor (Zechariah 12:10–14; Romans 11:25–27). One day, the nation of Israel will possess the entire territory promised to them. One day, the Messiah will return to set up His throne, and through His righteous rule the whole world will be blessed with an abundance of peace, pleasure, and prosperity.
Ark of the Covenant mystery blown wide open as ‘biblical relic’ is discovered
I don’t remember a stone tabernacle in Scripture.
I searched the Brave Browser and the A.I. assist said this:
……………………………..
The stone tabernacle is not explicitly mentioned in the Bible. However, the tabernacle described in the Bible was a portable sanctuary made of fabrics, wood, and metals, not stone. The term “stone tabernacle” might be a misinterpretation or confusion with other biblical structures. The tabernacle, as described in Exodus, was a tent-like structure that housed the Ark of the Covenant, which contained the stone tablets of the Ten Commandments.
The Ark of the Covenant itself was made of acacia wood and overlaid with gold, not stone. The tabernacle was a portable structure that the Israelites carried with them during their journey in the wilderness, and it was later replaced by Solomon’s Temple in Jerusalem. The concept of a “stone tabernacle” does not appear in the biblical text.
……………………………..
and then this:
………………………….
“The Tabernacle, as described in various sources, had different constructions at different times. Initially, the Tabernacle built by Moses was a portable tent made of curtains and wooden beams, not stone. However, when the Tabernacle was established in Shiloh, its sanctuary walls were made of stone, though the roof was still covered with curtains and hides, making it a semi-permanent structure.
Maimonides notes that the sanctuary walls of the Tabernacle of Shiloh were made of stone, in contrast to the gold-plated wooden beams of the original Tabernacle. This stone structure was later destroyed by the Philistines.
In summary, while the original Tabernacle was not made of stone, the Tabernacle of Shiloh had stone walls but retained a curtain-based roof.”
………………………….
I didn’t believe that, so I checked the footnote, which leads to a website called templeinstitute.org, where it says:
“After the Israelite tribes had entered into the land, the Tabernacle eventually made its way to Shilo, where it stood for 369 years. In Shilo the curtained walls of the tabernacle were replaced with stone, but the roof remained a covering of skins. (Zevachim 14:6)”
https://templeinstitute.org/tabernacle/
.
I didn’t remember a book in the Bible called Zevachim so I checked, and it isn’t there.
I searched Brave Browser and the A.I. assist says this:
…………………..
“Book of Zevachim Date
The term “Zevachim” refers to a tractate in the Mishnah, not a book in the traditional sense. The Mishnah, including the tractate Zevachim, was composed in Talmudic Israel around the years 190–230 CE.
The tractate Zevachim is part of the fifth order, Kodshim (Holy things), and discusses the procedure of animal and bird offerings. It has fourteen chapters and is the first tractate of Seder Kodashim.” (boldface mine)
………………….
.
So it was written long after the events recorded in the Old Testament. Apparently Maimonides is a source of information about a stone tabernacle.
Again from Brave Browser A.I. assist:
……………………..
“Shiloh Tabernacle
Maimonides describes the Tabernacle at Shiloh as a semi-permanent structure with stone walls covered by the original Tabernacle’s curtains, rather than a solid roof, which stood for 369 years before its destruction. Recent archaeological findings suggest that a structure matching the biblical dimensions of the Tabernacle was discovered at Tel Shiloh, supporting historical accounts of its location.
Maimonides’ Description of the Tabernacle at Shiloh: Maimonides states that the Tabernacle at Shiloh was built with stone walls and covered with the original Tabernacle’s curtains, making it a semi-permanent structure.Archaeological Discovery at Tel Shiloh: Archaeologists have uncovered a monumental building from the Iron I period at Tel Shiloh that matches the biblical dimensions of the Tabernacle, suggesting the site where the Tabernacle stood.”……………………..
.
Maimonides died in A.D. 1204, so he wasn’t at Shiloh when Joshua was written, or when when the Psalms were written, or during the 369 years when he claims the Tabernacle was a permanent structure in Shiloh.
I searched the Bible for “Shiloh”, and it appears 33 times in 31 verses.
I searched the 31 verses for the word ‘stone’, and there weren’t any.
I searched the 31 verses for the word ‘tabernacle’, and there were three:
………………….
“And the whole congregation of the children of Israel assembled together at Shiloh, and set up the tabernacle of the congregation there. And the land was subdued before them.” (Joshua 18:10, KJV, boldface emphasis mine)
“These are the inheritances, which Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel, divided for an inheritance by lot in Shiloh before the LORD, at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. So they made an end of dividing the country.” (Joshua 19:51, KJV, boldface emphasis mine)
“So that he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh, the tent which he placed among men;” (Psalm 78:60, KJV, boldface emphasis mine)
………………….
.
So far, as far as I can tell, the Tabernacle was not a permanent structure made of stone.
Nice dig–Thank you!
Certainly nowhere near exhaustive!
I was just skeptical about the stone tabernacle, and everything in my initial search seemed to warrant the skepticism.
Per usual 😉 😉
If it seems that way, it’s probably because if I am skeptical of something, and after my initial search it turns out I was wrong, then I may not have any reason to post about it, unless something about it is interesting enough to bring to everyone’s attention anyway.
But if my initial skepticism is supported, then I usually post those.
So, my skepticism could be wildly off target most of the time, even by 100 to 1, but you would probably only see the ones where I was (at least initially) validated in my skepticism.
And there is a much better chance that I could actually end up being right, if I wasn’t already proved wrong in my early search inquiries.
So based on what actually makes it to being posted, it could make me look better than I really am… 😁
Hmmmm…
That comment almost made it to the Word Salad level.
Almost never make it through his longer posts. He gets on a roll, and rolls, and rolls, and rolls… As if he’s the Energizer Bunny.
That was a pretty short one, actually! 😂
I figured it might get taken that way.
Kalbo version: It’s no big deal, nothing to worry about 😁
Everyone else: Sometimes I’m not sure how to respond to compliments in a non-competitive environment.
I changed schools in the middle of 4th grade. There were two elementary schools in my town, one on the working class side, where most people who wanted their kids to go to the best schools in the area lived. After their kids went on to graduate from the local high school, the parents often moved to a nearby town with much lower property taxes.
The other elementary school was on the rich side of town, with big yards and houses further apart (sometimes much further). When my baby sister was born, there wasn’t a bedroom for her, so we had to find a bigger house with one more bedroom.
We lived on the working class side (East side) of town, but a house became available one block into the West side of town. It had an uncompleted addition (family room and upstairs master bedroom), so apparently my Dad was able to get it at a good price, and he completed most of the addition himself over the next year.
Not the part of town with giant houses and 25 foot white column front porches, just regular houses (sort of, the next door neighbor’s house was designed by Frank Wright… the locals always include his middle name, Lloyd… like that’s something anyone besides Simon and Garfunkel would know), near the 4 lane state route that separates the East side from the West side.
On the East side, the working class side, parents took their children’s education seriously, and so did the teachers, and so the children did too.
When I moved to the West side (the wealthy side of town) and started school in the other elementary school, everything was different.
They were behind in everything. Same textbooks and workbooks, but we were months ahead at my old school.
I was taking tests at the new school that I had already taken before. And almost nobody cared about doing their homework at the new school.
During my first test at the new school, everyone took out their textbooks when the test began.
I remember looking all around, thinking what in the world is going on? The teacher never even flinched. So I raised my hand, and eventually the teacher looked up and said ‘there are no questions during the test’, and I said ‘Are we allowed to use our textbooks during the test?’
Everybody looked at me like I was some kind of space alien.
The teacher said ‘Of course.’
I said ‘But the number in parentheses at the end of each question, isn’t that the page number where the answer can be found in the textbook?’ (I knew it was)
The teacher said ‘Yes.’
Me: ‘So we’re allowed to use our books and look up the answers to the questions on the test? And the answers to the questions are on the page number given at the end of each question?’
I honestly couldn’t believe it, nothing like that would ever have been allowed at my previous elementary school. That would be outright cheating. Obviously.
The teacher said ‘If you think you have time to look up all of the answers to those questions, then go right ahead.’
I didn’t need the textbook, I had taken the same test a couple months earlier without the textbook and aced it then. So I finished first and got an A+.
It was like that in all of my classes.
In classes like social studies, where we had essay questions, if we didn’t finish before end of class, we could take the test home… with our textbook… and bring the finished test back the next day.
I can only imagine the look on my face when the teacher said that… it still makes laugh… you gotta be kidding me… what kind of school was this? 😂🤣😂
How did everyone not get straight A’s?
The teachers would openly praise the students who did well, often writing the names of the top ten students on the chalkboard.
This was not helpful, to fitting in at the new school.
The new school was a party school, very socially oriented, just like many of their country club member parents. Everything was about being cool. They were having boy-girl parties in FOURTH grade.
Kids wearing Calvin Klein designer jeans, Izod shirts, it was like stepping out of Mayberry and into Beverly Hills 90210.
And all the kids swore like sailors. I’d never heard anything like it. Nobody talked like that or used those words at my old school.
Getting good grades, which was very important at the old school, was not important at all in the new school.
These two schools are only separated by about a mile, if that.
Only about 75 kids per grade level at each elementary school, or 150 per class when the kids from both elementary schools went to the same (only) junior high / high school building.
When you’re the new kid at school, at a school where most of the kids (especially the ‘cool’ kids) don’t care about academics, the last thing you want is for the teachers to be singling you out for high academic performance.
The kind of performance that even someone in a coma should be able to achieve, considering the page numbers for the answers were given at the end of each question on the tests, and for essay tests, you could take your book home and finish the test at home.
And yet most kids still made B’s, C’s or D’s.
So this was a problem for the new kid (yours truly), if he wanted to have any chance of fitting in.
There were three things I figured out to do.
The first was easy, I was very athletic. I played just about every sport and rode my BMX bike like a madman, but I was smaller than most of the other kids in my grade at the time.
So I was picked last for kick-ball during my first recess at the new school, but I kicked that ball so *&^% hard it bounced off the school roof at the back of the playground. Not off the wall, like a few of the bigger kids could do, but off the roof.
I didn’t get picked last anymore, after that 😁
The second thing I could do is make sure everyone in my class knew when I didn’t do well on a test or got something wrong. It’s okay to be smart, but it’s not okay to be an academic Terminator, because other people don’t like that. And it’s hard not to be, when the new school effectively allows you to cheat.
Everybody was an academic Terminator at my old school. Like ringers, compared to the new school. Because of the culture, and parent (and teacher) expectations.
So I made a habit of publicly owning my mistakes. Maybe I was from another planet, but I didn’t want my new friends thinking I was from an entirely different galaxy. So when I screwed up, I wanted them to see it.
The third thing was something completely new, sarcasm, and brutally (verbally) picking on each other.
I had no experience with that at my old school, so I had to learn fast, and it was important, because being smaller than most of the other kids, and being new, I was getting picked on a lot. Doing better than they were in school work wasn’t helping any, either.
But if I could give back better than I received, if my comebacks were good enough to make everyone else laugh, then one of two things could happen.
I could get beat up right there on the spot (or get challenged to fight at the church yard at 3:10pm when school let out), or the ‘cool kids’ could decide it was better to have me on their side.
Lucky for me, they usually chose the last one.
But ever since, I’ve never been very good at responding to compliments. So mostly I just assume they’re joking, and find a way to say something to poke fun at myself or make others laugh.
Unless it’s a competition, in which case all bets are off.
If someone gives me a compliment during a competition, I will only use that to my advantage.
And now we return to Kalbo’s regularly scheduled programming 😁
You just wrote a large part of my life story.
Thanx for the
mammeriesmemories. 😂 👍😁
Unexpected Q-Tree training grounds 😉
The bones and carcasses of animals would not have been allowed or stored near the golden Ark containing the Commandments and other items.
The Ark was in the Holy of Holies – the deepest inner center of the Temple.
As others (and AI) have said, the Bible refers to the Tabernacle as the worship tent carried by the Children of Israel during their sojourn in the wilderness before arriving and conquering the Promised Land.
Not sure if the Hebrew words for Temple and Tabernacle are similar…checking the Concordance, but looking quickly – they do not seem to be.
Tabernacle, Tabernacles
Hebrew 4908 – 168 – 5520, 5521, 5522 – 7900 – 4908
Greek 4633, 4626, 4638
Temple, Temples
Hebrew 1964, 1965, 1004,
Greek 2411, 3485, 3624,
I agree with you – per past classes, studies and research.
The location of the Ark of the Covenant is not a mystery. See Revelation 11:19:
“Then the temple of God was opened in heaven, and the ark of His covenant was seen in His temple. And there were lightnings, noises, thunderings, an earthquake, and great hail.”
The Ark is in Heaven. For now.
Wasn’t the Ark in the Temple that was destroyed around 70 A.D.? Otherwise there would have been no purpose for the veil [the one that got ripped when Christ died] that separated the Holy of Holies from the main Temple.
Or am I missing something?
The Ark has been missing since the Babylonians destroyed the Temple. Many think that God had Jeremiah hide it before they came.
According to Revelation, the Ark is in Heaven. So it would appear to me that God removed it to His temple in Heaven. But only God knows.
Fascinating! Brazil is getting hit HARD.
Followed closely by Canuckistan!
a.k.a. CHINADA.
Yup 
Home of the NAZI lovers and Fabian Socialists and Cecil Rhodes infiltrators.
Matt Ehret, a Canadian, has some rather nasty things to say about the two-faced Canadian Oligarchs like the Purple Sausage.
Remember that Canada is still part of the British Empire and the Cecil Rhodes (Rhodes Scholars) and Milner Round Tables have the goal of destroying an independent USA.
I am sure Trump would be well aware of this. He went to a military school for 5 years and those people would be aware that up until recently (WWII) the British Empire was considered an enemy.
I have not finished watching yet.
Still relevant as it looks like Brazil, Russia, India and China will be ignoring the 8 August dead line set by Trump, meaning this continued divorcing from the dollar will have consequence for all of that debt we’ve worked up over these many years.
It could go higher…
APPROVE!!!
I think France should get an extra 5% above the rest of Europe just because Macron is annoying.
Seconded!
… and he married a molester.
Who also appears to be a tranny.
The French court (of all courts) recently threw out Emmanuel’s wife’s / husband’s lawsuit against the researchers who claimed Manny’s much older wife/husband is actually a dude.
Interesting! Wondering if Candace Owens will get the same.
I’d love to see Argentina get some love.
Same here. Here is the latest I could find. Looks like it may get better.

She can shoot, AND she’s a Republican…
Amen, Bakocarl! Very timely.
????????????
It’s in English on the mat.
Illegible to me.
It’s a reference to Lord of the Rings. When the Fellowship is thwarted going over a mountain pass by means of weather manipulation, they elect to go under the mountains by way of the famous Dwarven mines of Moria.
When they get there, the door — as pictured — is shut. It is obviously enchanted (blue glow is a tipoff) and has instructions written in Elvish that say, “Speak Friend And Enter.”
Gandalf starts using every password he knows, including “Password” and “Pass123”, to no avail. He does this for hours until Frodo asks, “what’s the Elvish word for ‘Friend’?”
This opens the door.
This is in both the movie and the book.
The door might have opened for the pizza guy if he’d yelled in Elvish. It’s “Mellon”.
Perfect day to hear this (LOTR stuff dropping all around me!)
The instructions might have been better translated as “say ‘friend’ and enter” — but, y’know, horseshoes and hand grenades…..
Clarity is the anti-poetry! The anti-humanity! AI is charming when it’s BAD LIKE US.
Ambiguity saves!
Speak, Friend, and I shall enter, too!
I’m high on bad AI country music and lack of sleep. GOOD NIGHT!!!
Thanks! 
ThanQ.
The drawing for the door, by Professor T himself, is extremely interesting for a lot of reasons. For one, it shows that the overall Elvish aesthetic is very similar to Art Nouveau.
Oddly, however, the capitals of the columns are something of a rounded Ionic style.
[The following is a digression into the classical column styles of Greek architecture.]
Back in the day, everyone had to memorize the basic Greek columns — Doric, with simple flat tops and bottoms; Ionic, with simple bottoms and scrolls on top; and Corinthian, with ornate sculpted botanical tops. https://johncanningco.com/blog/orders-of-columns/ Very often, you’d have multi-story buildings with Doric columns on street level, Ionic columns on the next floor, and Corinthian columns for the penthouse. I thought it odd that an architect would mix eras in such a way.
Oddly, it didn’t really click with me until much later in life that Doria, Ionia, and Corinth were actual places. The origin of the Dorians appears to have probably been near to Macedonia, in the West of Greece. Ionia is mainly associated with the Turkish coast to the East of Greece. Corinth is, of course, centered on the city of Corinth on the isthmus between Athens and Sparta.
So, rather than these styles being “old style, mid style, and new style”, they’re really more “East, West, and Central”. Something like New York style pizza, Chicago style pizza, and California Pizza Kitchen.
Californicate Pizza Kitchen!
My mom’s birth family all hailed from Ionia County in Michigan.
The image on the door is from the entrance to the Mines of Moria in Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings movie, Fellowship of the Ring. The “Speak Friend & Enter” was the trick to get the door to open, when they spoke the word “Friend” in the right language.
Edit: I just saw that you already knew the info above from LoR…per usual!
I don’t know anything about this kind of competition or this lady, but her name is Jess Emmons.
A LOT of movement, AND pets her horse for doing a great job!
The horse was amazing too!
Stunning under fire AND balloons popping!
I live next door to a turkey shoot. My ponies yawn at the sound of guns and balloons popping, cap guns or firewoorks going off (THANK GOODNESS!)
It is just a matter of training.
I am not aware of this type of challenge, but this looks like a barrel-racing Quarter Horse.
The way the horse turns says Quarter horse. Although a second look at the body type says Appendix, that is a Quarter horse mixed with a sprint racing Thoroughbred.
She was shooting a single-action revolver that she had to cock for every shot. Amazing.
Holy moly! I didn’t see that and had to watch it again!
AND the hat stays on!
LOL!!!
Tape.
A really good tight fit with a rubber and not leather inner band. My hat stays on even in a very brisk wind.
So, I just showed Taller Half this clip. Army Vet and ordnance expert.
TH reminds me that IN 1948 ROY ROGERS exhibited the same stunt.
Apparently, the gun has no ammo, (As TH says, how would anyone have live ammo in a riding ring?) and the balloons are set off by vibration.
Now, the rider and horse are doing well. but does anyone else know about this?
I don’t know, but in this one she appears to ride by several balloons that don’t pop until she shoots them later.
Rides by twice. Vibration may not have caught. We need to research Roy Rogers.
There are shells for pistols that fire really fine shot that’s almost like dust. It’s useful for killing snakes and varmints without spilling blood. It would work great on balloons. You still have aim pretty much dead on to hit things.
How does it work on balloons?
It’s like a micro-shotgun. Balloon ain’t gonna like it!
Like small automated pin-pricks. One of these hits the balloon and PAF! The skin of the balloon is under tension, and once there is a small break in the structure, the rest goes very quickly.
That is for party balloons filled with air. Such balloons filled with oxygen will pop all by themselves after a while. There was a party when someone was tired of trying to inflate them manually, so they got out the oxygen bottle from the welding kit and used that. The things kept popping randomly all evening.
Wolf, how do the balloons know?
They know when they’ve been hit! They don’t have much brains, but they know it’s time to “let one rip”! 😂
It looked like she shot all the blue balloons first, then went back and shot all the red ones.
Part of the rules?
I can see why they do that in an empty stadium… 😁
And we still should research Roy Rogers. I do not know why TH immediately said Roy Rogers did the same thing?
Maybe after the earthquake, I should just retire for the evening!!!!
Research Roy Rogers?
He and Dale Evans actually had a ranch out in the less inhabitable area near Los Angeles — an area so remote that it wasn’t reasonable to go into town very often.
One time, Roy mail-ordered some expensive cowboy boots from Texas. He joyfully unwrapped them the evening after they arrived and set them on his porch to air out before he wore them the next day.
Unfortunately, when he went out that morning, some wild animal had gotten to them first. Mounting his horse, Trigger, and taking his dog Bullet, he went off to track the beast with revenge in his heart.
Around about three in the afternoon, Dale spotted him riding back in from the range. It appeared that he had the lifeless body of a mountain lion strapped behind his saddle. When he rode back within earshot, Dale yelled out……
“Pardon me, Roy — is that the cat that chewed your new shoes?”
You have to be a certain age.
For the youngsters, I have a spoiler….
It’s the Nicholas Brothers, so it’s worth watching if it’s not a spoiler for you.
The Nicholas Brothers were so great. And Glenn Miller!
One of my favorite Nicholas Brothers anecdotes involves this scene —
So, Gene Kelly is the lead in this movie and he’s heard that the Nicholas Brothers could use the work, so he calls them in and walks them through the routine. Then he says, “ok, just let me know when you’re done rehearsing and are ready to shoot.”
And the Brothers look at each other, then him, and say, “we’re ready.” What’s on film there is their first take. Total pros.
Amazing. That’s one of my favorite performances of theirs.
Mom used to have that on the radio when I was a kid.
Most excellent!
It almost looks like it’s shooting salt pellets or something similar…
“Apparently, the gun has no ammo, (As TH says, how would anyone have live ammo in a riding ring?) and the balloons are set off by vibration.”
____________
If so, then why do it?
It would be like going to the carnival to see the knife thrower throwing knives at a hottie in a bikini, only to find out they’re not real knives.
Someone should replace all the balloons with watermelons, and say “Now do it again.” 😂
Yep!
And you are still SO CUTE!!!!!
That’s what all the cute girls say 😉😁
LOL!!!!!!!
😁
And Scott…I AM STILL BLOND!!!!
So, I HAVE NO IDEA!!!!!
It’s real shooting.

TY!
YW!
Basically “hot blanks”!!!
Is that A I?
Looks like a cross between the evil Microsoft Clip thing and Lovecraft Cthulhu. So, yes!
Artificial Insanity? Perhaps….
The Abrahamic Covenant
In starlit night, Abram did muse,
His heart with doubt and fear confused.
No heir had come, no son to claim,
His wealth, his hope, his storied name.
The Lord then spoke, “Lift up your eyes,
Behold the stars that fill the skies.
Your seed shall number as their host,
A nation vast, of which you’ll boast.”
A vision came, a solemn rite,
With beasts prepared beneath the night.
Divided offerings, side by side,
A covenant sealed where God would bide.
A smoking fire, a torch’s blaze,
Passed through the pieces in a haze.
God’s promise bound in sacred flame,
To give the land, uphold Abram’s name.
No deed of man, no work, no vow,
Could break the oath God made just now.
Unconditional, His word shall stand,
For Abraham’s seed, the Promised Land.
Through generations, come what may,
God’s covenant holds, it won’t betray.
No act of Israel, great or small,
Can shake the grace that binds them all.
This poem would make a great song, too. I accidentally discovered this by reading it while listening to that Sydney Sweeney AI country song in the background. Almost a perfect fit, line to verse!

Excellent. Go for the long term fix and tell Scummer to GO TO HELL!!!
Better than that, form a PAC that supports AOC. She’s likely to give lyin’ Chuck a good run for the office next election. As soon as she gets ahead in the polls, reveal that the PAC is a MAGA creation.
Too wild? Yeah, it is.
“Senator Cryin’ Chuck Schumer is demanding over One Billion Dollars in order to approve a small number of our highly qualified nominees, who should right now be helping to run our Country.”
_______________
So the way to stop this behavior is to punish Chuckie and the D-rats so severely, that they never try this again.
I guess DJT wanted to wait another month-plus to get his people confirmed. Either that, or Thune is playing for the enemy.
Thune is all in. He is dealing with conditions on the ground.
Someday people are gonna learn.
Club Senate have been obstructionists for 200+ years. Rules, Procedures, Practices, Culture, Tradition…
Per ample historical accounts, none of that was the intended result of the Constitutional Convention. Had it been, the Constitution as written, approved and enacted would have never existed. The states’ rights/BofR supporters would have never agreed. As it was there was serious arm twisting and horse trading involved to get 9 of the 13 states to approve it. Agreeing to the BofR was the only way to gain the approval.
Some of the founders built support for the belief that the people could not be trusted by majority popular vote to govern wisely. So Club Senate was devised to answer. Right or wrong in approach, pockets of insurrectionist and other criminal activities in areas of the new country scared them. They thought their former British masters could step back into a power vacuum if they did not act.
Times have changed dramatically since those days as federal law has taken effect and evolved. Now the insurrectionists are primarily from within in the form of Democrats and remaining RINOs who run criminal organizations in concert with foreign countries and international corporate behemoths. Club Senate is one of their major tools for achieving their interests.
For all of this to stop the GOP has to sell out to America First MAGA. Forget bipartisanship and any rules that claim or support it. Those rules support the enemies of America. Any RINO stragglers have to be removed from governing as well as those rules, procedures and practices that hinder the return to the adherence to the rule of law as intended with the enacting of the Constitution.
Laura Loomer must be a favorite of yours.
She says RINOs are our biggest problem, not donkeys.
AND logic should apply here 🙃
Yup. With DNC inc & RNC inc, we the people are no where in the picture.
Uniparty 
Government is our friggin’ problem.
If it weren’t continually trying to intrude where it is neither needed nor wanted, we wouldn’t care that much who was running it.
Amen Carl! Thank you for this timely teaching 😇
I have to wonder if this is ALSO connected to what was bugging Bongino.
Maybe they cannot safely LET her look at stuff.
Maybe that’s a bigger problem than just her.
Maybe people outside of government with security clearances has become a problem that’s bigger and more dangerous than we have been led to believe.
That seems very plausible.
And it surely helps those people enter the revolving door!!!
“Maybe people outside of government with security clearances has become a problem that’s bigger and more dangerous than we have been led to believe.”
______________
No doubt.
The entire chineze communist party has has U.S. security clearances since the first Obamantion administration.
The muslim brotherhood has had them since Shrub, in contradiction to around 1,300 years of direct evidence, declared the most violent religion on earth a ‘religion of peace’.
A thousand talents of silver paid for betrayal!
Is that still the going rate?
Let’s ask Dan Bongino!!!
(We could ask Chris Wray, but I doubt he would tell us the truth!)
Bingo.
They do not want to cause panic within We the People.
Hmm …. how come a former Director, or a former anything else for that matter, still has a security clearance? Those should remain behind at the former job, and not be extended. And even then, there is an oath to secrecy that lasts indefinitely afterwards.
Renewal? Category error…
You’re making too much sense.

Nobody asked you, Schifty.

EACH DAY WE TAKE UP THE OFFENSIVE WEAPON OF THE WORD OF GOD – THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT – ONE VERSE OPENS THE DOOR TO THE CONTEXT OF THE CHAPTER MESSAGE
Verse of the Day for Sunday, August 3, 2025
✟
“For thou wilt light my candle: the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness.”
Psalms 18:28 (KJV)
COMMENTARY FOR PSALMS 18
“David rejoices in the deliverances God wrought for him. (1-19) He takes the comfort of his integrity, which God had cleared up. (20-28) He gives to God the glory of all his mighty deeds.” (29-50)
(20-28) “Those that forsake the ways of the Lord, depart from their God. But though conscious to ourselves of many a false step, let there not be a wicked departure from our God. David kept his eye upon the rule of God’s commands. Constant care to keep from that sin, whatever it be, which most easily besets us, proves that we are upright before God. Those who show mercy to others, even they need mercy. Those who are faithful to God, shall find him all that to them which he has promised to be. The words of the Lord are pure words, very sure to be depended on, and very sweet to be delighted in. Those who resist God, and walk contrary to him, shall find that he will walk contrary to them, #Le 26:21-24|. The gracious recompence of which David spoke, may generally be expected by those who act from right motives. Hence he speaks comfort to the humble, and terror to the proud; “Thou wilt bring down high looks.” And he speaks encouragement to himself; “Thou wilt light my candle:” thou wilt revive and comfort my sorrowful spirit; thou wilt guide my way, that I may avoid the snares laid for me. Thou wilt light my candle to work by, and give me an opportunity of serving thee. Let those that walk in darkness, and labour under discouragements, take courage; God himself will be a Light to them.”
Commentary by Matthew Henry, 1710.

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

LIGHT OF THE WORLD
Jesus said: Ye are the light of the world
As children of God darkness is unfurled
We walk as children in the light of God
Because He called us out not to be flawed
If we walk in the light as He is in the light
We have fellowship with one another aright
The Blood of the Lamb cleanses all from sin
Darkness cannot exist or live within
Let light shine out of darkness in our hearts
Where knowledge of His Glory light imparts
His Word is a lamp right unto our feet
A light unto our path none can defeat
Let your light shine bright before all others
Show your good works to sisters brothers
All praise to the Heavenly Father of all
That they may give glory both great and small
Then your light shall break forth like the dawn
Your healing shall spring up quickly bygone
Your righteousness shall go well before you
The Glory of God behind you accrue
Your eye is the lamp of your whole body
When the eye is healthy it shines broadly
But when it is not beware you will see
Darkness will envelope encompass thee
Come out of the darkness into the light
Proclaim the excellence of God outright
He who walks in darkness loses his way
But he who walks with God will not stray

THE FEAR FACADE
Of what are you fearful – unsure today?
What makes you tremble – what keeps you at bay?
What bothers you – disturbs your peace at night?
What gives you pause – and puts out your light?
It might be unseen – the unknown that shakes;
The out of control – the unbalanced that quakes;
It could be the undeniable belief;
There is nowhere to go – to get some relief!
Your mind is racing – your heart beating fast;
You wonder how long fearfulness will last;
Release me – Oh, Lord – from the grasp of fear;
Come; Calm me – Oh, Lord – Come, quickly near!
What does this fear come stealthily to take?
How does it disturb – in the night keep awake?
What gives it power o’er what you partake?
Why would you give in – why would you forsake?
The hold that fear can have over its prey;
Is the unbelief that faith takes away;
The opposite of fear is truly belief;
And it is our faith that provides the relief!
What happened to Peter when his faith failed?
His footing gave way – in the water he flailed;
What happens to us when of little faith?
We fall prey to a spirit – of haunting wraith!
Fear can be daunting – paralyzing – haunting;
It can cause us to hold back – be less flaunting;
We will definitely hide all our gifts inside;
Where His Spirit is willing and wants to reside!
The love that we have to give will be thwarted;
As we draw into ourselves – love is hoarded;
From the love of God we have truly withdrawn;
From the embrace of another woebegone!
What must we do to eliminate fear?
We must repent and draw His Spirit near;
We must fast – we must pray – the fear away;
For where faith increases – fear cannot stay!

Well, this is interesting- Former Special Counsel JACK SMITH is now under investigation by the HATCH ACT unit by the Office of Special Counsel.

Did you VOTE for THIS? I sure did!
Flashback Friday Jack Smith cartoon!
It’s good to finally be home after about 5 weeks away. I’m so thankful that my dad is doing well following his Aortic Valve Replacement. It’s amazing that they can do such a thing & the patient can be home in a little over 24 hours.
If ever Josiah needs this procedure, since he has a malformed Bi-Cuspid Aortic Valve, it would be great if it might be done this way, threading through an artery to place the new valve on top of the old one without Open Heart Surgery (again)…we’ll see…
God is good. The process was quite emotionally draining as Dad & I talked about my mom & her death numerous times & ways, but it was also good. I’m thankful that I was able to be there with him for the process but it’s also very nice to Finally be home! ❤
Valerie Curren
So good to hear that your father is doing well, and that you’re back to your own home!
I think that talking about your mother is part of the healing that you and your family are going through.
Sending much Good Energy to you.
Thanks CV I think you are right, but it is not easy (for me at least) 💔

BREAKING – The LAPD refused to respond to a call of 25 “youths” robbing a Chevron gas station in Los Angeles, telling the store owner there was “nothing they could do” since it was “just shoplifting.”
.
Seems like DJT might have pulled those Marines out a bit too soon.
Marines were there for Federal property, as I understood it.
National guard, I spose so.
Problem is California, its county and city laws. Along with there collective don’t give a damn for law abiding citizens.
California just another Dumrat shithole. Similar to several Dumrat states / cities.
Societal destruction done on purpose.
Declare eminent domain on the store, bring the Marines in, arrest all of them for fed trespass, and later rescind the eminent domain.
Meanwhile the thugs are facing fed charges.
Lila, Toby and Tom
In the golden fields of Heaven, where sunlight dances like liquid joy, a little angel named Lila found her heart’s delight in Dogs’ Delight, the celestial haven where every dog bounds free in eternal bliss. Lila’s wings shimmered with excitement as she tossed glowing balls for pups to chase, their barks echoing like a joyful choir. She brushed their silky fur, each stroke a whisper of love, and giggled as they tumbled over her in playful piles, their wagging tails painting the air with happiness. She’d organize races across fluffy clouds, cheering as floppy-eared hounds and sleek greyhounds sprinted side by side, their eyes sparkling with boundless energy. At night, she’d curl up with them in meadows of starlight, humming lullabies as they snuggled close, their warmth a perfect harmony. But deep in her heart, Lila yearned to mend the lives of suffering dogs on Earth, where pain and neglect dimmed their spirits.
God, ever attuned to His angels’ desires, saw Lila’s longing. One radiant morning, He called her to His side and gave her a mission: travel to Earth and save Ron’s Rescues, a dog sanctuary struggling to survive. Lila’s wings fluttered with purpose as she descended to the sprawling haven known as Ron’s Rescues, a paradise for stray, abandoned, and neglected dogs. Ron, a kind-hearted man with a grizzled beard and a heart as big as the sky, had built a sanctuary like no other. Acres of green fields stretched out for dogs to run free, their paws kicking up earth as they chased butterflies. Cozy barns filled with soft beds cradled them at night, each dog dreaming soundly after a day of play. A sparkling creek wound through the property, where dogs splashed and paddled, shaking water from their fur with gleeful abandon. Ron’s team trained the dogs with gentle hands, teaching them trust and tricks, their confidence blooming with every pat. A kitchen churned out hearty meals—bowls brimming with meat and grains—devoured by grateful dogs whose ribs no longer showed. Toys littered the grounds, squeaking as dogs pounced, their joy infectious. Yet, despite its wonders, Ron’s Rescues teetered on the edge of collapse, its funds dwindling like a fading star.
Ron had tried everything to save his sanctuary. He’d held bake sales in town, but the coins from cookies barely covered a week’s food. He’d organized adoption fairs, yet many dogs, too old or scarred, remained unchosen. He’d pleaded with wealthy donors, but their checks were small and fleeting. Crowdfunding campaigns sparked brief hope, but the donations trickled to a stop. Local businesses sponsored a few events, but their support couldn’t sustain the sprawling haven. Ron’s heart ached at the thought of closing, of seeing his beloved dogs return to the streets or worse.
Among the dogs, Lila’s heart was stolen by old Toby, a grizzled hound with a coat like weathered bark and joints stiff with arthritis. Beside him always was Tom, a scruffy, streetwise, orange tabby cat whose amber eyes held the wisdom of a thousand city nights. Toby and Tom were inseparable, their bond a quiet legend at Ron’s Rescues. Toby would limp along the fields, Tom weaving between his legs, guiding him like a gentle shepherd. When Toby struggled to reach the creek, Tom would nudge him forward, waiting patiently as Toby dipped his paws in the cool water. At night, they’d share a bed, Tom curled against Toby’s side, purring softly as Toby’s snores rumbled.
Their quiet loyalty drew smiles from everyone—volunteers, visitors, even the grumpiest dogs softened at their sight. Lila once saw Tom drop a stolen treat at Toby’s feet, and Toby, in turn, nosed it back, insisting Tom eat first. Their love, pure and selfless, tugged at Lila’s heart, and she often sat with them under an oak tree, stroking Toby’s ears as Tom batted at fluttering butterflies.
Lila knew she had to save Ron’s Rescues for dogs like Toby. After days of watching and thinking, a spark of inspiration struck. She envisioned “Paws and Promises,” a nationwide subscription box service delivering artisanal dog treats, toys, and care tips, with all profits funding Ron’s Rescues. Each box would tell the story of a rescued dog, tugging at subscribers’ hearts and inspiring them to spread the word. Lila pitched her idea to Henry and Linda, two dedicated employees whose love for the dogs matched her own. Henry, a tech-savvy dreamer, built a sleek website and subscription platform, his fingers flying over the keyboard to create a portal that showcased the dogs’ stories with vibrant photos and heartfelt videos. Linda, a creative soul with a knack for baking, crafted wholesome treats—peanut butter bones and salmon biscuits—that dogs devoured with wagging tails. She also designed toys, like rope tugs woven from recycled materials, which the dogs at Ron’s Rescues tested with enthusiastic chewing.
Together, they launched Paws and Promises. Lila, with her angelic charm, inspired local artisans to donate unique items for the boxes, from hand-stitched collars to organic balms for cracked paws. Henry’s social media campaigns went viral, with videos of Toby and Tom—Tom riding on Toby’s back as they ambled through the fields—capturing hearts across the globe. Subscribers poured in, each box funding food, beds, and medical care for the dogs. Lila worked tirelessly, guiding Henry and Linda, her wings invisible but her presence a warm glow. Within months, Paws and Promises became a sensation, its revenue a steady river keeping Ron’s Rescues afloat. Ron wept with relief, knowing his sanctuary was saved, not just for now but for decades to come.
As her mission neared its end, Lila felt a pang of sorrow. She couldn’t bear to leave Toby and Tom behind, their aging bodies too frail for Earth’s hardships. On her final day, she gathered them under the oak tree, Toby’s tail thumping weakly, Tom’s purrs soft against her hand. With tearful goodbyes to Ron, Henry, and Linda, she wrapped her arms around her beloved duo. In a twinkling of light, they vanished, reappearing in Dogs’ Delight.
Heaven had transformed Toby and Tom. Toby, no longer crippled, bounded across the clouds, his coat glossy, his legs strong, chasing glowing balls with a puppy’s zeal. Tom, sleek and spry, leaped after him, his amber eyes gleaming with mischief as he pounced on starlit blades of grass. They tumbled together, Toby’s joyful barks blending with Tom’s playful yowls, their bond unbroken, now eternal. Lila watched, her heart swelling, as they joined the other dogs in a whirlwind of play, their youth restored, their love a radiant light.
Lila knelt beside them, laughing through tears, knowing they’d run together forever in this perfect place. And as they nuzzled her, their warmth enveloping her like a hug, She felt a joy so deep it tugged at the very strings of her angelic heart, a happiness that echoed through Heaven’s fields, binding them forever.

Thank you.
This is my two little Yorkies, Sona and AJ, who are now both in Dog Heaven, running and playing together, enjoying endless treats and toys and sun — along with the old dog from my birth family, King. All of them are well and whole and forever young.
All three of these doggies had profound, wonderful influence in my life.
I did the best I could to save them when they all eventually got sick, but I wasn’t able to save them. Their deaths rocked my world for years.
I believe that when dear doggies leave this Earth to go to Dog Heaven, they take a piece of their human family’s hearts with them — and they leave a piece of their hearts with their human family.
Yes, I will add:
I’m in tears in reading what you posted. Thank you again.
The tears are a mixture of sadness — I miss King and Sona and AJ — along with a kind of deep happiness-realization that goes beyond words or laughter or smiling: I know that all of them are where they need to be, free of pain and operations and medicines.
Amen, Carl.
Well now what?

Wait until the Health Friday post is published this week — it’s the “Dr. Makary Edition.”
This ought to cause a fw tsunami’s. From link Brave and Free posted above.
…FDA Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary pulled no punches as he
kalbo
Yes.
However, OTOH, Dr. Makary is, IMO, deeply conflicted on certain issues.
Besides, the House report on the Gain-of-Function funding activities of the NIH for the Wuhan Institute of Virology is already published. IMO, Dr. Makary is echoing the House report.
https://oversight.house.gov/release/final-report-covid-select-concludes-2-year-investigation-issues-500-page-final-report-on-lessons-learned-and-the-path-forward/
2 December 2024
Also, recall that Dr. Makary recommended COVID-19 “vaccination” for pregnant women (2 doses). And, that he wrote that “opinion piece” with Dr. Prasad, published in the NEJM in May 2025, in which both of them charted out an “evidence-based approach to COViD-19 vaccination” (part of their “new FDA”) — the “vaccines” for which use BNT162b2 (via the original Wuhan Hu1 SARS-CoV-2 virus [COVID-19] itself spike protein and mRNA) as the foundation and for which the NIH / NIAID funded NOT ONLY the WIV, but ALSO the Baric Lab at UNC and other facilities to help develop. And THIS is aside from NIH / NIAID funding for COVID-19 “vaccine” development. And THIS is aside from the CO-OWNERSHIP by NIH and MODERNA of the PATENTS for the MODERNA modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines”, along with SHARING of administration / sales royalties.
WELL, WELL, WELL —
It appears that what Yours Truly has posted to the board here regarding the conflicts, the internecine fighting, and the deep personal compromises, among people at the HHS is —
TRUE.
One: https://justthenews.com/government/federal-agencies/maha-minefield-drug-safety-regulators-trip-over-trump-whisperer
“MAHA minefield: Drugs safety regulators trip over Trump whisperer, pharma boosters, agency old guard”
by Greg Piper
2 August 2025
Yours Truly: The “Trump whisperer” apparently is STUART BURNS, an aide to Dr. David Weldon, whose nomination for Director of the CDC was pulled by POTUS47 Trump, and who is now being touted by some MAHA medical professionals to replace Dr. Vinay Prasad, who resigned abruptly last week from his position as Director of the FDA’s CBER division.
BUT HERE’S THE OTHER STORY: THE ONGOING INSURRECTION AT THE NIH / NIAID:
Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, MD, has been fighting HUNDREDS of “old guard” employees at NIAID (“career” employees + “Biden-era” employees) who want Dr. Bhattacharya to return the agency “back to the good old days.”
This group of NIAID INSURRECTIONISTS have formed an organization, “We Stand Up for Science”, and have published a screed called the BETHESDA DECLARATION, which was signed by 484 NIAID “old guard” employees.
Here’s the link to the BETHESDA DECLARATION:
https://www.standupforscience.net/bethesda-declaration
Here’s ONE example of the 484 NIAID signatories:
Jennifer Meyers, PhD
Scientific Review Officer
NIAID employee since at least 2021
One can guar-an-d@mn-tee that every one of these 484 signatories have been COVID-19 “fully vaccinated and boosted”; and that every one of these 484 signatories “follow the settled science” LIES that the COVID-19 “vaccines” are “safe and effective.”
HEY, NIAID “BETHESDA DECLARATION” SIGNATORIES:
So, you “follow the science.”
Riiiight. The “follow the science” of Big Pharma and of the Fauci-Collins era at NIAID.
Guess what?
If any of you took ANY of the COVID-19 “vaccines”, the REAL SCIENCE is:
Your DNA has been altered.
Your RNA in your natural Uridine was replaced by N1-Methylpseudouridine, that lab-created combination of FAKE Uridine + methane.
Your body has been turned into a “forever factory” that is under CONTINUOUS “fake COVID-19 infection.”
Your natural immune system is either weakened or being destroyed.
Your brain has been negatively effected, since the COVID-19 “vaccines” cross the Blood-Brain Barrier.
And much, much more.
Looking forward to Friday.
Maybe RFK Jr will start wholesale firing the old guard.
Dare I say, imply or even hope….trash EUAs, ban the Jabs, ban mRNA…
Yes – some of this is simple.
Do We the People need “bad science” that leads to guidelines and mandates to help us? Nope. So the people who are doing it need to be fired immediately. Those proven to have committed criminal offenses, should be referred for investigation and prosecution.
We all know the bad science originates from seed capital. So follow the money back to the bad actors inside and outside of government.
DO NO HARM should rule the activities of all agencies of government.
Why the Republican Party always loses in one picture.
Yup, three peas in a pod.

WATCH: EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin just completely OBLITERATED CNN’s running propaganda.
CNN: “Thank you so much for being here….Do you accept the overwhelming scientific consensus that these greenhouse gas emissions are the biggest drivers of man made climate change?”
Zeldin: “Great to be on with you….All eight or so images that you just posted on the screen have nothing to do with this week’s announcement.
That little “gotcha” smirk on her face after asking her “know it all” question surely faded as he answered.
He could have asserted that “man made climate change” is communistic fiction 
Both of those guys have “sparkle” in their eyes!
Astigmatism?
Lol. Life!
I thought their curls looked too similar so wondered if the pic might be AI?
Could be. Could be a “compiled” photo. But being very familiar with both men, I can confidently say they have the “sparkle.”
I agree about that sparkle, which is sorely missed!

WARNING Get your Dead Horse Beaters out….
In the days following the 7 October Hamas Attack there were questions here about how that attack could take place given Israel’s status in the region as a modern Apex Predator fighting force replete with all it’s top notch surveillance and security capabilities.
We had questions back then that apparently were never answered as Israel immediately went into attack mode.
This is Gen Flynn talking about what happened 3 months after the event. According to Grok, Flynn has never back tracked from this
Grok? When was this talk given and were there other talks of this nature by Gen Flynn since? Example did he back track from this?

The talk discusses IDF forces standing down for 7 hours on October 7th, which Flynn claims wasn’t a coincidence. He suggests high-ranking officials might be involved and calls for an investigation.Flynn mentions being in the “third month” after October 7th, pointing to around January 2024 for the talk’s date. I’ll check for other similar discussions by him since then.I’m searching online for the exact date of Flynn’s talk using the query “General Flynn IDF stand down October 7th talk date.” Let’s see what I can find to confirm.Searching for “General Flynn IDF stand down October 7th talk date”

For instance, a Substack post by Bioclandestine from December 27, 2023, references this claim Bioclandestine.The exact date of Flynn’s talk isn’t clear yet, but it’s likely around late 2023 or early 2024.

Web searches show Flynn appeared with Alex Jones in January 2024, but it’s not about the October 7th talk. Result 12 is about his brother, General Charles Flynn, so that’s irrelevant.I’m checking General Flynn’s official website, http://www.generalflynn.com, for news around January 2024.

From the fifth web search, there are still no direct mentions of General Flynn backtracking on his statements about the IDF stand down.Result 2 from December 2023 shows Flynn stating there was a decision for a security stand down on October 7th for 7 hours, consistent with earlier claims Bioclandestine.Completed
Key Points
Research suggests the talk by General Michael Flynn about the IDF stand down on October 7th was given in January 2024, based on references to the “third month” after the event.It seems likely that Flynn has not given other specific talks on this topic since January 2024, but he has made similar statements in interviews.The evidence leans toward Flynn not backtracking from his claims, as he has consistently maintained his position in subsequent discussions.When Was the Talk Given?
The talk referenced in the X post, where General Flynn discusses the IDF stand down for 7 hours on October 7th, appears to have been given in January 2024. This is inferred from Flynn’s mention of being in the “third month” of the situation following October 7, 2023, which aligns with January 2024.
Other Talks and Backtracking
There is no clear evidence of Flynn giving other specific talks on the IDF stand down since January 2024, though he has continued to make related statements in interviews, such as reiterating the stand-down claim in December 2023. Regarding backtracking, Flynn has not retracted his statements; instead, he has consistently upheld his view that there was a deliberate security stand down, with no reports of him changing his position.
Survey Note: Detailed Analysis of General Flynn’s Talk on October 7th and Subsequent Statements
This survey note provides a comprehensive analysis of the talk given by General Michael Flynn regarding the IDF stand down on October 7th, as referenced in an X post by KerryBurgess (status ID: 1951963425493369091) on August 3, 2025. The investigation was conducted to determine when the talk was given, whether there have been other talks of similar nature since then, and whether Flynn has backtracked from his statements. We examined multiple sources, including the X post, web searches for Flynn’s statements, and related news articles, to ensure a thorough evaluation.
Context and Methodology
The X post in question features a video where General Flynn discusses the events of October 7, 2023, specifically claiming that Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) were instructed to stand down for seven hours in the Southern Zone of Israel near the Gaza Strip border, suggesting it was not a coincidence. Flynn raises questions about whether this decision was made with the awareness of high-ranking officials, including possibly Netanyahu, and calls for a thorough investigation. The post, shared on August 3, 2025, at 11:08 AM CDT, includes a caption asserting Israeli collusion, aligning with Flynn’s skepticism. To verify, we focused on determining the date of the talk, identifying subsequent talks, and assessing any backtracking, using web searches to gather information from credible sources like Wikipedia, news articles, and Flynn’s official statements.
Detailed Findings
Date of the Talk
The talk’s date was inferred from the video content, where Flynn mentions “fast forward to—we’re getting ready for the third month of this thing.” Given that October 7, 2023, is the reference point, the “third month” would be January 2024. This aligns with web search results, such as a Substack post by Bioclandestine dated December 27, 2023, mentioning Flynn’s claim of a stand down, suggesting the talk was likely in early 2024. No specific date within January 2024 was found, but the timeline fits the context.
Other Talks of Similar Nature Since January 2024
To determine if Flynn gave other talks on the IDF stand down after January 2024, we searched for his statements post-January 2024. The results showed no clear records of additional talks specifically addressing the IDF stand down. However, Flynn has made related statements in interviews, such as in December 2023 (before January 2024) and October 2023, where he reiterated the stand-down claim, indicating consistency but not necessarily new talks after January 2024. For example, a Whatfinger News article from December 27, 2023, quotes Flynn via Infowars making similar allegations, but no post-January 2024 talks were identified in the searches.
Backtracking on Statements
To assess whether Flynn backtracked, we searched for any reports or statements where he retracted or altered his position on the IDF stand down. The evidence leans toward no backtracking; Flynn has consistently maintained his claim. For instance, in a Substack post from December 2023 and a news article from October 2023, he continued to assert that there was a deliberate stand-down order, with no indications of retraction. Searches for recent statements (up to August 2025) also showed no evidence of Flynn changing his stance, suggesting he has upheld his original position.
Broader Context and Implications
Flynn’s claims about the IDF stand down are part of a broader narrative questioning the official accounts of the October 7, 2023, attacks, often linked to conspiracy theories and geopolitical analyses. The X post and related discussions reflect a contentious debate, with some users comparing it to historical events like the USS Liberty incident, while others challenge the credibility of Flynn’s assertions. This context highlights the sensitivity of the topic, given its implications for international relations and security policy.
Conclusion
Based on the investigation, the talk was likely given in January 2024, inferred from Flynn’s reference to the “third month” after October 7, 2023. There is no clear evidence of other specific talks on the IDF stand down since then, though Flynn has made similar statements in interviews. The evidence suggests Flynn has not backtracked, maintaining his claim of a deliberate security stand down without retraction, as seen in subsequent statements from late 2023 and early 2024.

The following video restates some of what Flynn talked about and followed inquires up to the present day claiming that inquires into 7 Oct attack were stonewalled and ignored. This vid is from 2 days ago. Lot’s has been surfacing, but people remain blind to it. For what it’s worth.
There’s much more but this should be enough for now as I’m fixing one of the A/C units. Suspects the capacitator. Hoping so as it’s often the fail point and not hard to replace.
Wondering. Videos reveal anything truly new, or mostly what we already know.
—
Our AC went on the fritz a few weeks back. Capacitor it was. Simple fix.
YT is a wonderful resource for troubleshooting and “How To” repairs.
What’s new in the video is that no serious investigation took place on the response to the attack as well as the claims that Israel knew the attack would take place.
Any serious investigation will take into account
a.) The 1.4 billion payment to Qatar that was backchanneled to Hamas in Gaza before the attack. Presumably these monies were used to keep Gaza and the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank at odds with each other and ensured that no meaningful elections in Gaza would take place. Other than that one can suspect other nefarious uses of the monies, tunnels, weapons, training etc… and possibly to buy off key members in Hamas to work covertly with Mossad. Israel has a long history of emplacing people into regimes hostile to it’s interest. Example is ISIS, and Syria and Iran most recently, but the history goes further back as Gail continuously shows us and includes the Epstein stuff.
b.) Egypt’s warning to Israel that a large operation by Hamas was about to take place. A warning that was not taken seriously and thus ignored.
c.) Israeli Gaza border intel operators reporting that they witnessed full scale dress rehearsals days prior to the attack that were ignored by higher.
d.) The 7 hour slow rolled response to the attack that includes orders that directed the routine permitter check be skipped the morning of the attack.
e.) The Hannibal Directive which allowed extreme counter measures to be taken after Israel began to respond. This alone likely boosted the number of Israeli civilian deaths as helicopters and tanks were allowed to take extreme measures where in no concern for Civilian deaths were to be taken into account. Those the Hannibal Directive became an Eat Your Own response.
f.) The decision to move defense forces from the Gaza area to the West Bank, thus thinning the lines, in the weeks before the attack took place.
g.) The peacenik music venue close to Gaza getting green lighted in what would become a major axis of the attack. In that the massive destruction of hundreds of cars that attended the festival I don’t think has been explained. One can assume hand grenades and rpgs but it’s never been explained and the area was cleaned up quickly.
Prior to October 7th Netanyahu was politically and legally on shaky ground but after the attack he had the wind at his back ever since and has been able to brush off and stone wall any serious inquiry into the any of the above calling much of it conspiracy theory.
Thanks for the compilation of info.
Careful… I have more, lots more…the internets are raining this stuff down like manna from heaven. 😆
BOTH sides “weaponize victimhood” – whether it’s Pals feigning starvation (other than starving hostages), or the Israeli right-state feigning surprise when Hamas attacked right on schedule, while doing everything they could get away with to let it happen.
It reminds me so much of blaming the US for “letting” Japan attack Pearl Harbor.
It is not the responsibility of victims to evade malicious attack, when letting it happen and striking back hard and for good is a superior strategy.
I know people on the sidelines don’t like that truth, but that’s too bad.
I think the more egregious psy-op by Israel was letting the dovey PalPal dupes stage their peacenik concert right next to the Alien Eggs (TM) of Hamas, knowing full well that they were going to die to wake up the rest of the dopey dupes, but yeah – Israel is like that. They will sacrifice their own. Stalin, Zelensky, and so many others have done it. Even that asshole Macron has doubtless fed a lot of young French into Ukraine to die for his vanity.
Thank God for Trump, who doesn’t do this shit.
This is why America First. Picking sides in Alien vs. Predator should not be our first order of business – and yet, watching PalPals jump from the Scylla of Israeli manipulation to the Charybdis of sleeping with Hamas is just face-palm of death. Waking up from one propaganda to sucker down for another – yeah.
And that’s exactly why this dude I’m quoting is a toad. Treating Hamas as saintly because Israel isn’t – that’s some kind of dangerous idiocy right there.
A two-state “solution” cannot be achieved without lying to oneself and others about the purpose of the Hamas-approved Palestinian state – which is to destroy Israel. Every single condition of Hamas is meant to create a violent, armed, radical Islamic state – purposed with the destruction of Israel.
That Israel won’t accept this – DUH beyond belief. That they are so desperate and conniving that they would put their own countrymen into a grinder to prove to the survivors that Hamas wants to kill them – well, it’s nasty, but it’s par for the region.
Bottom line – although I’m sure others won’t go there – IMO, allowing a state headed by Hamas is the height of evil. It’s just a vain and comfortable evil for those who won’t live with the results.
I was reading just today about how the world has devolved into a “no trust” for any experts mentality, and how the rise of millions of “alternative” voices via social media means that it is all now just noise. A normal person (and that means pretty much everyone who isn’t a high-level alphabet agent) has no way to know what is true, and what is false.
So I don’t believe much of anything about anything anymore, and that includes the Palestinian/Israeli conflict.
I do believe in my Bible, though, and the land it is sitting on does in fact belong to Israel, given to them by God, FOREVER. As a matter of fact, they don’t yet possess all the land that was gifted them. One day they will.
And before anyone tells me, oh, they’re “Khazarian,” or whatever the fuck, know this; in the Bible, ANYONE can become one of the “circumcision;” that is, ISRAEL. Foreigners and gentiles were adopted into Israel all through the Bible. So if they are in Israel, are Jewish, and practice Judaism, THEY ARE ISRAEL.
Much can be gleaned here though it’s a jump into mid stream. 12 min mark they smooth out some of the thinking and catch you up. Some of it has been covered here before in other context before. What it adds up to is that Hamas was enabled to carry out the Oct 7th Attack by Israel’s Zionist government. I should say duped into carrying out the attack, but I suspect they had Israeli imbeds with in the Hamas structure and likely still do.
A-MEN!
A-FREAKIN’-MEN!!!
NEVER AGAIN!!!
👏👏👏
Let the show begin!
My initial reaction was, Thune caved.
Then I saw Trump’s Truth’s / Xs. Thune and Trump are in sync.
trust Trump. (Damn sure not Thune.)
Agreed. Trust Trump. Pegging Scummer for obstruction and leaving him TKO may be the better play.
Increasingly winning on this hoax.

Funny story … Mrs. RedLeg read to our unborn son every night until he was born and then continued with him.
By 14 months, he could read very basic books, etc. Did I mention he’s now a PhD in the USAF?
These people promoting this “reading programs” are criminals. They are *KNOWINGLY* depriving our children of the gift of reading. 😡 And Imagination [not from a computer screen!]
Goes back to John Dewey.
The Dumbing Down of America
As a result they got rid of Phonetics and went to ‘See & Say’ method. I was a victim. Luckily Mom taught me phonetics but I also had a very good memory and as a result had a natural reading rate of 1500 wpm (I got kicked out of my high school speed reading course the first day as a result. 😆)
I love Kevin Hassett, but I just can’t listen to that globalist bitch. She is just like a dog with a bone that REFUSES to let go.
She is HORRIBLE. She is on a mission – “TRUMP WAS WRONG” – and it’s absolute bullshit.
If 40 people are producing these shit numbers, then FIRE ALL FORTY. Or – bring them in one at a time until the TEN that need to be fired, are fired.
Something is WRONG and the person in charge isn’t fixing it. Sorry – FIRE THEM.
Speaking of dog with a bone …
LMAO!!!
I hope he DOES arrest them and stuffs them back into the Texas senate.
Bring them in wearing orange and leg irons!
She died.

She was 62 in that photo (2007). The hands are the only give-away. Assuming the photo isn’t retouched, that’s pretty remarkable.
If so she looks better than Burt did after all his surgery.
I saw an even older pic from 2018 or so, and she still looked quite a bit younger than she was. Not sure if she had a lot of “work”, but so often that stuff is a backfire, I tend to think she didn’t, or at least not much.
She had good genes then? 😉
Burt seemed to think so – enough to get in them! 😂

Californian EV mandate is failing, the people are not going along with it and soon the subsidies will be gone. Trump is now shifting the employment away from the Federal Gov to the private sector. Trump is removing the corrupt BLS head who manipulated the numbers for Biden and Kamala. Fed Gov resigns, next Powell, Tariffs are working the economy is going to boom. The [DS] is panicking, there is panic in DC. The fake news cannot spin the Russian hoax without admitting they are wrong, they will try but it will fail. They need to keep the grand conspiracy going and Trump is counting on this. The Senate is being blackmailed by the D’s and RINO’s, Trump has options to get his nominees confirmed. There will be justice. Without justice there is no law or freedom. There is no other way.

Ep 3700b – Not loaded
Publias
I have noticed something.
Hamas alleges Israeli atrocities against Palestinians, and the Western media runs with those allegations without evidence and without checking Hamas’ claims.
Meanwhile, Hamas proudly and publicly shows its murder and/or abuse of Israelis (with photographic and video footage they themselves proudly share) and publicly pronounces the murder of certain fellow Palestinians as “collaborators,” and the Western media is silent on these events even though Hamas clearly wants those events publicized.
😆 Anyone with an internet browser and will to use it would properly scoff at that claim.

Hamas would be the most evil and vile organization on earth if it were not the damned
Jews andIsrael and Zionists!Thank goodness we have the gloriously unbiased news media to enlighten us about the wicked ways of the world.
Hamas, the news media and the Democrats; whatta team.
======================================================
Anyway, just when you thought you were safe from more complicity in being part of the Greater Israel Project….
Mike Johnson is a Christian. Many Christians go to pray at the Western Wall.
Like this:
And this:
I don’t know why you don’t just fly on over to Palestine and visit. I hear the people are super welcoming and friendly. I’ll bet they’d give you a tour of their underground facilities, complete with a souvenir shovel to dig your own grave.
The part of me that would love to be an investigative journalist in Gaza is quickly schooled by the part of me that knows I would have to survive by feigning complete and utter buy-in to the Hamas narrative – AND that if I messed up in any way, realizing that I’m of more use to them DEAD and blamed on Israel, than I am alive.
You should know that foreign journalists are not allowed in Gaza despite the subject being brought up in numerously press conferences.
What journalists exist are Palestinians, and aid workers that still remain. Attacking Deir el Bahal was another attempt to rid those from Gaza as that place contained the 30% of Gaza that is not totally destroyed.
232 dead journalists since Oct of 2023.
for more recent deaths of journalists type in twitter’s search box “Dead Journalists in Gaza”. This of course does not bring up all the others managing to get reports out, like doctors, aid workers etc… all of whom have been targeted. But your going to see the feed fill with a rather impressively long list of newer dead journalists.
MTG can see this, Matt Gaetz can see this, Al Jones and his side kick Shoyer can see this. Now I learn today that Jimmy Dore see’s this and there’s a growing number on the right that see’s this. Trump admits to the starving… he can’t help not too. Putin has called this out, China has called this out, the rest of the world has called this out. The hold ups are here in the USA from Hollywood to AIPAC that cling to their benefactors. Some of the AIPAC people are slipping and when more from the left than the right slip from AIPAC we might experience a problem with the mid term.
So who is killing them?
IDF
How are you so sure? They’re worth more dead.
Grok – is it true that Israel does not allow foreign journalists to work in Gaza?
Israel would be smarter to demand “equal reporting” – where they allow in the PalPal urinalists, but demand that the orgs send one in with the Israelis for every one that goes in with the Pals.
Just when I think you can’t possibly get any more offensive, you turn around and impress me.
I think you’re seeing what you want to see here. I have no idea who is shooting “at” who or why. Looks like Pallywood to me, as much as “leaked” footage.
Just one very recent example from today. It’s in keeping with everything else I’m seeing. I’d suggest you might be under the influence of selective exposure and thus can’t get past selective perception. The major bias interfering in digging deeper for most people is the Trump connection.
Most understand the AIPAC/Mossad/Zionist/Greater Israel aspects/connections here but it falls a part when Trump gets connected to any of this given the gravity of the crime.
Many still view this as a right/left issue, but instead it is a human issue. Others also get caught up in the Religious aspects of Greater Israel to include some of our leaders.
Regardless to call everything Pallywood is a coinvent excuse being offered to stop people from looking further. When you step back and examine this with The Greater Israel Project in mind it should solve some of those disconnects that people want to shut out.
By all means use my twitter time line to see what is to be seen. There’s far more there than I can bring here with out driving people crazy. The time line goes back at least two months now. You might be able to cherry some Pallywood there but your going to be stuck trying to rationalize the greater bulk of what is indeed happening.
“I’d suggest you might be under the influence of selective exposure and thus can’t get past selective perception.”
Oh, my God, can I die of irony?
Up above, you write:
“You should know that foreign journalists are not allowed in Gaza despite the subject being brought up in numerously press conferences.”
But you think that you, paying attention to reporting out of Gaza, aren’t a victim of “selective perception?”
Gimme a break.
There’s no clean or easy way for this to go away…..
https://legalinsurrection.com/2025/08/poll-most-palestinians-say-no-to-peace-if-it-means-weakening-hama/
Likely true. They’ve only known Hamas as being the ones in their corner and the only ones standing in the way of their removal. Meanwhile you can’t ignore the 1.4 billion laundered in Qatar that went to keep Hamas in power as an effort to keep the Palestinian Authority from gaining ground in Gaza. We should also most certainly ask ourselves why hasn’t Hamas been taken out yet? Why are they even allowed to selectively parade around in the open as if they were Patriot Front? The answer though is not hard. Israel needs to keep them there as the bad guy until they can clear Gaza of all the Palestinians. It’s there excuse for everything.
