My counsel to everyone who reads this, listens to what I say, or gives a sh!t what I do, last nights victory was historic (YES!), but as in warfare, this was only the beginning of the long slog to achieving total victory. The best analogy is that we have seized the beachhead and have broken through the hedgerows into Normandy. I want everyone to understand, we have not achieved a “VE Day”, we are more like D-DAY+1. We have our beachhead, the troops are arriving in strength, with determined purpose, and a clear mandate. But now the real work of rooting out the evil infestation really begins. Removing the infiltrators, the bureaucratic systems and processes that infect decision making and do nothing to protect the safety and security of the American people along with many bureaucrats who wish nothing but ill will to our arriving troops. Sorry, not this time Obama. Fool us once, shame on us, try to fool us again, shame on you. Making America Great Again is our marching order and #WeThePeople are on the move. Lead, Follow, or Get the Hell Out of the Way!

It’s good to celebrate yesterday’s win, for sure. But something seems up. Seemingly little resistance to the election win. Basically no Antifa protests, no false flags, little push back from the establishment. Many of the Deep Staters have been quite silent. Are they cooking up something for us in the near future? A November or December surprise? I just don’t want to be distracted with the excitement and get blindsided. Should still stay frosty. “As one should always be careful when an adversary makes a retreat with no resistance or fight.” – Sun Tzu

My friends, next up is election fraud exposure. That is what will be the “lead in” to the justice phase we have all longed for. I’m betting the Justice System takes the lead on this during Trump’s short time as president-elect. I think lawsuits are coming that will unravel the entire corrupt fraud. The enemy desperately wants to just move on. We are now able to compare data from three different elections and trust me, we aren’t moving on. That would never be allowed to happen. Knowingly conspiring to steal federal elections across the country, is treason. Treason opens the door to changing everything. That’s the whole point of all of this.

Luke 15:1-10

1Now the tax collectors and sinners were all drawing near to hear him. 2And the Pharisees and the scribes murmured, saying, “This man receives sinners and eats with them.” 3So he told them this parable: 4“What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the one which is lost, until he finds it? 5And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing. 6And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, `Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost.’ 7Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance. 8“Or what woman, having ten silver coins, if she loses one coin, does not light a lamp and sweep the house and seek diligently until she finds it? 9And when she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, `Rejoice with me, for I have found the coin which I had lost.’ 10Just so, I tell you, there is joy before the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”

Get it right for once. TRUMP KNOWS EXACTLY HOW THEY STOLE IT FROM HIM IN 2020. He and his team know better than you and I do. So what’s the problem? People spent the last 4 years **insisting** we can only fix this by **getting the courts to admit the evidence** and then **charging, arresting and prosecuting** the cheaters as the FIRST STEP to fixing our corrupted county/state election systems. That was NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN. Pull you head out of your ASS already. OF COURSE the same freaking people who cheated the last time were going to end up being LEFT IN PLACE running the 2024 election. The chances Trump could lead a charge to have these people arrested and removed BEFORE he got a second term was exactly ZERO POINT ZERO per cent. The courts and the DA’s and the governors and the States Attorneys General were **never** ever going to play ball in exposing the election corruption that went on in 2020/2022 and prosecuting the cheaters. SO HOW DID WE GET HERE where we currently stand, watching Trump about to COMPLETELY OVERWHELM THEIR CHEAT SYSTEMS even though the SAME CHEATERS are still in place? We got here because Trump and his team war-gamed out a plan to BREAK THEIR CHEAT MACHINE by overwhelming it with early voting. “How can we win with the cheaters still in place still doing their cheating just like they did in 2020 & 2022?” was their mission statement. AND THEY FOUND A WAY. While all the MAGA doomer black pilling social media influencers and Conservative Media Inc. shills were trying to demoralize you by insisting THERE WAS NO WAY TO WIN without mass arrests first and criminal prosecutions for fraud across the land BEFORE the 2024 election was held…Trump and his team **didn’t believe that**. They’ve spent the couple of years preparing a counterstrategy to both expose the cheating even further as the election cycle unfolded and then defeat it in real time. And guess what? IT’S WORKING. According to what many of you were told, what you’re seeing was supposed to be impossible. The cheaters are still there. The cheaters are still cheating. AND IT LITERALLY DOESN’T MATTER. They are being overwhelmed and forced out into the open **before** Election Day even got here. They underestimated Trump and his team. The Too Big To Rig strategy is going to work. And once Trump gets back in there, the election cheaters are going to go to jail. He’s 100% serious about that. And that’s a beautiful thing.

“In All The Autopsies I’ve Done Of Cancer Patients. Not One Of Them Died Of Cancer. They Died Of Liver Failure, Cardiac Failure, Renal Failure…All Due To Chemotherapy.” Dr Michael Farley “They Cooked Her Liver & Cooked Her Kidneys. She Had No Organ Function Left.” “We Made Her Comfortable & She Had 6 Months To Say Goodbye.” “The Morning After Her Death, The Internist Struggled To Be Honest On The Death Certificate, Knowing The Trouble She Would Be In If She Wrote The True Cause Of Death.” “You Might Try Writing The Truth For A Change.” “She Wrote The Truth For Cause Of Death…Poisoning.” The 3rd Leading Cause Of Death Is Medical Malpractice & Error. Most Doctors Are Falsifying Death Certificates. Very Few Doctors Are Willing To Tell The Truth. Chemotherapy came from one of the Cruelest Weapons ever invented…Mustard Gas. In 1925, The Geneva Protocol banned Mustard Gas being used as a weapon of war, citing it’s deadly harm & inhumane use against war enemies. But, researchers found it destroyed bone marrow & lymphatic tissue to market as a drug for profit. The 1st chemotherapy was Mechlorethamine Hydrochloride (HN2), Nitrogen Mustard. Today, five Nitrogen Mustards are used in Chemotherapy including Mechlorethamine, Cyclophosphamide, Ifosfamide, Melphalan & Chlorambucil. Chemotherapy Is Not The Answer For Healing The Body From Cancer.

Well-informed dairy farmer dispels the myth that cows are killing the planet. Who do you believe more, this guy or Bill Gates? “The biggest lie in the world right now is that cows are killing the planet. At the core of that lie is how methane is calculated. And in the next few minutes, I am going to take you through the full carbon cycle for my dairy cows from the air and back to the air. All the carbon that enters my dairy cows starts in the air. And I have organized this fog as a nice visual representation of that carbon.” “Let’s take 10 carbon atoms from the air and follow their journey through one of my dairy cows. The grass in my field uses photosynthesis, that’s a hard word to say, photosynthesis. Grass uses photosynthesis to pull carbon out of the air and store it as energy in the form of carbohydrates and proteins.” “So when my cows come in here in a few weeks to graze this field, they will eat the grass. and they will take up the carbon. Sorry if I’m explaining this like you’re stupid, but none of the public question any of this stuff. One of the 10 carbon atoms will leave as meat and milk, which is then consumed as food by us humans, and we emit the carbon as respiration. Another two of the carbon atoms are emitted as respiration by the cow, also not counted as an emission.” “The remaining seven carbon atoms are digested in the rumen of the cow by bacteria. The bacteria inside the cow’s rumen takes the remaining seven carbon atoms and converts them to methane through the bacteria’s version of respiration. So respiration from the human not counted as an emission. Respiration from the cow not counted as an emission. Respiration from the rumen counted as an emission.” “But here’s the thing, no matter how the carbon leaves the cow, it has all started in the same place, which is the air. This next bit is where climate scientists like to gaslight us farmers and say that methane is not the same as CO2. So let’s continue to track our seven carbon atoms, which have left our car as methane. They have entered the atmosphere again and them seven methane atoms have 96 times the global warming potential. of seven carbon atoms.” “However, over the next 12 years, them seven methane molecules that enter the atmosphere will break down into CO2 and water, completing our cycle. What this means is if you have a stable number of animals, like this farm has for the last 12 years, as you emit the seven methane molecules, seven more… that you emitted a decade earlier have just broken down back to carbon to be reabsorbed by the grass.” “So the net effect of the methane molecules emitted by my cows on global warming is zero, factually zero. And yet in all the carbon calculations, them methane molecules are accounting for over 70% of my farm’s emissions.”

If what I suspect is about to happen – a Trump landslide beyond anything this country has ever seen before – consider the impact that will have on the globalist ‘elite’ world order that went ALL IN on **preventing** a 2nd Trump presidency. It would psychologically DESTROY them. They would NEVER get over it. All those years, all those billions of dollars, all those hoaxes, all that lawfare, all those celebrity stars they paid off, all those fake polls…how could they have POSSIBLE HAVE FAILED IN SUCH A SPECTACULAR FASHION? They not only failed…the harder they tried to destroy Trump the more they exposed themselves…and made themselves vulnerable. Now we will destroy THEM. Ain’t life grand?

MAJOR UPDATE: 2024 Election California PG&E Plans to Conduct ‘Public Safety Power-Outages” in 17 Counties, Starting on Election Day— Potentially Impacting 7,000+ Polling Locations

🔴

What’s Their Excuse? “High winds” and need to mitigate fire risk —— PG&E said the earliest outages would be 7 p.m. Tuesday and continue the next several days. • Don’t worry… PG&E says it “has been taking proactive measures” to ensure there will be power to polling places. This is suspect as hell… on Election Day… really?

🔴

Areas Potentially Affected: •Alameda •Butte •Colusa •Contra Costa •Glenn •Kern •Lake •Mendocino •Napa •Plumas •Santa Clara •Santa Cruz •Solano •Sonoma •Stanislaus •Tehama •Yolo

🔴

ODD COINCIDENCE Tucker Carlson literally just did an interview discussing a Military Special Forces Attack at the PG&E Power Station in CA — Coincidence?? The Threat of Weaponized EMP Attacks in Space • Governments have learned to weaponize Electromagnetic Pulse Attacks that could wipe out entire power grids • ‘Starfish Prime’ was a high-altitude Space nuclear EMP test over the Pacific Ocean, conducted by the United States, Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) and the Defense Atomic Support Agency ON July 9, 1962. —— it was the largest nuclear test conducted in outer space, and one of five conducted by the US in space. —— it knocked out communications in Hawaii and beyond. • The Soviets discovered it first and at that point had done several tests over Kazakhstan and wiped their entire power grid and caused massive suffering. —— They began developing a “Super EMP” —— these Space EMP bombs are detonated 30km above the country.

🔴

NO CONTACT WARFAR • In 2013, a North Korean KSEM3 satellite, which had ran the EXACT optimal orbit over New York and Washington DC, and was set up to carry an EMP Nuke. —— On the SAME DAY in April 2013, an unknown Military Special Force that was never been identified, broke into the PG&E Substation near San Jose, CA. —— they were thought to be North Korean Speacial Forces, but no one was identified or apprehended. (It wasn’t North Korea.) • This unknown Special Forces group was assessed to be Professionals who had deep knowledge of the site… —— they knew about an underground comms tunnel where they went in and cut communications. —— they used Sniper fire to damage, but not take offline 17 transformers.

EXTREMELY IMPORTANT 🚨 Our Food Is About To Be Poisoned With NEW “Transgenic Edible Vaccines” They’re Being Funded Right Now BY TAXPAYERS, mRNA Food Vaccine FACTORIES Kamala Harris Administration has been using US Tax Payer money to fund the development “Mr. Chairman, I rise in support of my amendment, which states that none of the funds made available by this act may be used to fund any grant related to any transgenic edible vaccine. Does the term transgenic edible vaccine sound far-fetched? Well, it’s not. We’re funding it. In fact, scientists from the University of California, Riverside, funded with your taxpayer dollars, have been studying whether they can turn edible plants such as lettuce and spinach into mRNA vaccine factories, thereby creating a transgenic edible vaccine.” “One associate professor at UCR explained that, ideally a single plant would produce enough mRNA to vaccinate a single person.” “We are testing this approach with spinach and lettuce and have long-term goals of people growing it in their own gardens. Farmers could also eventually grow entire fields of it. I don’t think this is a good idea.” “I don’t think the American people should be funding this.” — “These transgenic edible plant vaccines, are only used for livestock. Well, in fact, they have been used for livestock.” “They’re also being used for people. That is the intended outcome of many of these programs that we are funding, funding with money from the USDA.” “I think we need a safe food supply. This is about food safety. Ultimately, the people in this country need to know what’s in their food. And if we start contaminating the DNA of our food with DNA from other animals or viruses, the pollen could spread, and we don’t know what could happen.”

I don’t think people realize how catastrophic these early voting numbers are for Kamala and the Dems. If the inverse were true, and GOP turnout was this bad compared to prior elections, it would be front page news, and every Left-wing media outlet would be popping bottles. The Dems/MSM are not going to admit it, but they are cooked, and they know it. They want to maintain the illusion of momentum to convince voters to turn out tomorrow, but they know the numbers coming in indicate a massive Trump victory. Don’t let the Dems/MSM fool you. They are terrified, and they should be.

In anticipation of potential unrest, a formidable “ring of steel” has been installed around the White House, preparing for anything that might unfold tomorrow. New eight-foot security fencing now encircles the White House, U.S. Capitol, Treasury Department, and even Kamala Harris’ residence, all put up by the Secret Service. Washington D.C.’s entire police force is set to be fully mobilized through at least Election Day. The governors of Washington and Oregon have also ordered Guard troops to stand by during election week. Donald Trump’s comment about using the military to handle what he called “the enemy from within” on Election Day has the media terrified.

https://twitter.com/reBurningBright/status/1853535668888293743

The enemy’s posture is already broken ahead of election day. Instead of maintaining a core central narrative, as they prefer to, they’re engaged in projection and preemptive reaction. The narrative actualization of the Red Wave scenario forces the System of Systems into a defensive posture, in which the only options available to them are to chart a path down Overton’s Goalpost and first deny the election results in a perfect inversion of 2020 while prepping to decertify and/or prevent Trump’s constitutional ascension to office, thereby VERY publicly depriving the people of their sovereign mandate. Conversely, a redux of the 2020 steal will be actualized in the midst of a mass sociopolitical environment FOLLOWING four years of disastrous establishment rule & with none of the Covid hysteria acting as narrative shielding to explain away the fraud apparatus. Trump and company aren’t confident because they trust the system. They’re confident because the enemy has run out of stories.

Wisdom 3:1-9

1But the souls of the righteous are in the hand of God, and no torment will ever touch them. 2In the eyes of the foolish they seemed to have died, and their departure was thought to be an affliction, 3and their going from us to be their destruction; but they are at peace. 4For though in the sight of men they were punished, their hope is full of immortality. 5Having been disciplined a little, they will receive great good, because God tested them and found them worthy of himself; 6like gold in the furnace he tried them, and like a sacrificial burnt offering he accepted them. 7In the time of their visitation they will shine forth, and will run like sparks through the stubble. 8They will govern nations and rule over peoples, and the Lord will reign over them for ever. 9Those who trust in him will understand truth, and the faithful will abide with him in love, because grace and mercy are upon his elect, and he watches over his holy ones.

Psalms 23:1-6

1The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not want; 2he makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters; 3he restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. 4Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil; for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me. 5Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of my enemies; thou anointest my head with oil, my cup overflows. 6Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

John 6:37-40

37All that the Father gives me will come to me; and him who comes to me I will not cast out. 38For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me; 39and this is the will of him who sent me, that I should lose nothing of all that he has given me, but raise it up at the last day. 40For this is the will of my Father, that every one who sees the Son and believes in him should have eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.”

That reading from Wisdom was recited at the last two funerals I attended. Both were people I babysat. It was also read at my mother’s Mass along with singing that psalm.

The other side trying to make us look bad?

@jimmy_dore
: “Barack Obama made sure the bankers got their bonuses while he kicked 5 million families out of their homes. He got more money from Wall Street than John McCain did. There was a Citigroup email with a list of people they wanted in his cabinet. Every person on that list ended up in his cabinet. That got released by Wikileaks, and that’s why they’ve been trying to kill Julian Assange ever since.

Obama wasn’t a departure from George W. Bush. Just his skin color. He took us from two wars to seven. He gave us Mitt Romney’s right-wing health care plan that came out of the Heritage Foundation, which is the same people that gave you Project 2025. He dropped more bombs than George Bush, and nobody noticed, and that’s why the donor class wanted to have Kamala Harris.

They thought we’d have a female Barack Obama, dropping bombs, stealing resources, and doing neoliberal and neoconservative policies, but then she couldn’t get a vote in the primary because she has no political talent. So then they forced her on Joe Biden as the Vice President, and then, of course, they did a coup just like Jim Gaffigan said at the Al Smith dinner.

After Occupy Wall Street and the Tea Party, major newspapers’ mentions of racism and white supremacy went through the roof. That’s because, as Chomsky taught us, newspapers aren’t there to inform you. They are there to manufacture consent, and one of the great ways to manufacture consent for the establishment is to divide and conquer. That’s what identity politics is.”

Ephesians 5:21-33

21Be subject to one another out of reverence for Christ. 22Wives, be subject to your husbands, as to the Lord. 23For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior. 24As the church is subject to Christ, so let wives also be subject in everything to their husbands. 25Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, 26that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, 27that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish. 28Even so husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. 29For no man ever hates his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, as Christ does the church, 30because we are members of his body. 31“For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.” 32This mystery is a profound one, and I am saying that it refers to Christ and the church; 33however, let each one of you love his wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.

Please consider “subject to” rather than “subordinate” when considering that text.

Psalms 128:1-5

1Blessed is every one who fears the LORD, who walks in his ways! 2You shall eat the fruit of the labor of your hands; you shall be happy, and it shall be well with you. 3Your wife will be like a fruitful vine within your house; your children will be like olive shoots around your table. 4Lo, thus shall the man be blessed who fears the LORD. 5The LORD bless you from Zion! May you see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life!

Luke 13:18-21

18He said therefore, “What is the kingdom of God like? And to what shall I compare it? 19It is like a grain of mustard seed which a man took and sowed in his garden; and it grew and became a tree, and the birds of the air made nests in its branches.” 20And again he said, “To what shall I compare the kingdom of God? 21It is like leaven which a woman took and hid in three measures of flour, till it was all leavened.”

Trump is surging! The early vote numbers continue to be catastrophic for the Dems, and it is starting to cause a widespread panic. Halperin says, “If this continues, Donald Trump can’t lose, because the Democrats can’t possibly do well enough on Election Day”. Spicer says, “The data is unbelievable. It’s almost too good to be true.” These are not polls. These are not betting markets. These are the actual votes coming in. Trump’s early turnout is unprecedented for a Republican, and if the trend continues, Trump may have the White House secure before Election Day, making it mathematically un-stealable, a.k.a. “Too Big To Rig”. The early numbers indicate the Trump base is energized and motivated, while the Dems are struggling, and the early vote is normally their strong suit. This does not mean the election is over, but the early numbers suggest Trump is trending SUBSTANTIALLY better than he was at this time in 2016 and 2020.

Halloween Cocktails: Death in the Afternoon is a Real Treat

 Jump to Recipe  Print Recipe

Created by the legendary author Ernest Hemingway, Death in the Afternoon is a literary classic, and a great Halloween themed cocktail as well.

The Death in the Afternoon Champagne-based drink in a tall flute.
The Death in the Afternoon cocktail combines Champagne and Absinthe for a spooky treat.

Death in the Afternoon will make you Comfortably Numb

Certain drinks just fit a ‘moment’ based on their name alone. Now that it’s Halloween time, this cocktail always makes an appearance.

Hemingway was living in Paris when he came up with this cocktail. It shares the same name as one of his bestsellers, “Death in the Afternoon.” Like other great authors, who invent drinks, he includes a written recipe for how to make it. The recipe was first published in a famous author’s cocktail book called, “So Red The Nose, or Breath In The Afternoon.” In it, Hemingway recommended the following directions:

https://imasdk.googleapis.com/js/core/bridge3.674.1_en.html#goog_254642102

“Pour one jigger absinthe into a Champagne glass. Add iced Champagne until it attains the proper opalescent milkiness. Drink three to five of these slowly.”

I’d recommend using a little caution when following “Papa’s” drinking directions because this cocktail packs a punch, and three to five of these in a single day will hit you harder than a Hemingway metaphor!

Ingredients Needed

This is another great duo cocktail, meaning that there are only two ingredients required to make it:

  • Champagne
  • Absinthe

And that’s it!

Tips for Success

Since there are only two ingredients, it’s a pretty easy mix. However, there are a couple of hints that can make it a better drink.

  • Some ‘tips’ suggest adding the absinthe last and trying to ‘float’ it on top of the Champagne. But by the time it’s poured and served, the ingredients are all mixed anyway, so I suggest sticking with Hemingway’s directions.
  • Absinthe has always had an odd reputation. At one time it was said to be addictive or hallucinatory. In 1915, it was even banned in the U.S. and certain countries in Europe. Luckily it made a comeback and is enjoyed in many popular cocktails. But do yourself and others a favor and buy a name brand like Pernod. Yes, you’ll pay more money for it, but the taste and even the look are superior to lower quality spirits.

Have a good one y’all.

21 States Have Shifted to Donald Trump in Past Month—Nate Silver Forecast

Polls: Democrats on Track to Lose Two Key House Seats They Currently Hold

Harris and Trump locked in dead heat in seven-state poll, with some voters still deciding

Dead heat?

Tweets…X-Files, uh, posts, whatever

It’s starting to go mainstream.

I frequently see many in the pro-Trump media space, saying not to be too confident, and don’t share polls/markets that show Trump winning, because it will make voters complacent and not show up to vote, etc. I think it’s the exact opposite. Victory is contagious. People are much more willing to take part in the game, if they think they are going to win. People commonly repeat “act like we are 10 points down”. How does that motivate the fence-sitters to go to the polls? This will make people feel defeated. People want to feel like their vote matters. Like they are a part of something significant. People want to win. If anything, I’d say this recent surge in Trump popularity and positivity is creating MORE Trump voters, because the stigma around Trump is dying. People are not afraid to openly support Trump anymore. The movement is infectious. Our confidence and vibes draw people towards us, and humans are naturally inclined to default towards the group. Liking Trump is cool now. Spreading positivity does not make us complacent. I think it creates more voters, by making us look more appealing to the undecideds, and motivating the disgruntled non-voters who feel like their vote does not matter. We give them hope that this time, things could be different. I don’t care what anyone says. Trump is winning, and if you want to be part of history, you will join us and vote Trump.

I am so grateful I woke up from whatever hypnosis that was that I was under. I apologize to conservatives, to religious people, to the mothers who were questioning the medicines and foods we gave our children. I didn’t realize how out of touch I was and how manipulated I was by the media and culture in general. I think it’s really important for people to set aside their tribalism and admit when they were wrong. So I’ll go first. 4 years ago I thought conservatives were bad rich white corporate people who hated the poor. I hated Trump (I believed what Canadian media said about him) but I probably couldn’t tell you one single thing that he did wrong or didn’t do right. I pretended like I knew what I was talking about when it came to politics but the truth is all I cared about was not voting conservative. I had such strong opinions about it and maybe I even thought I had done my due diligence. But the truth is I would open up the political platform days before voting day and read between the liberal and NDP parties platform highlights and choose from there. I had NO IDEA and no business voting. I hated the churches and thought religious people were brainwashed. I felt superior in my spiritual practices as if I knew better than thousands of years of peaceful people gathering to worship Jesus. Meanwhile I was drinking, I was partying and filled with anxiety and depression while I did these bandaid eastern wisdom practices that temporarily fixed small problems. I thought the anti-vaxxer moms were crazy and uneducated. In 2019 I went to social justice trainings because that was the thing back then and this is where I started to wake up. Not only did it not make sense…..it so clearly made things worse. And then I woke up. Not all at once. Bit by bit. It started with the visceral feeling that the sometimes well meaning social justice trainings were manipulative and encouraging division and hatred over healing. Then the pandemic and how the media handled it. Then the illegal and corrupt actions of our government. Then the realization that these medicines were causing more hurt than harm. Then my deep dive into understanding politics, geopolitics and the world’s history. Then I met Jesus. And everything else spiralled into place after that. I didn’t just “switch teams” – I’m not on a team. I’m just very very aware of history, the inner workings of politics, how the medical system works and what I need to do to have a good life. I know what it’s like to be a good person who simply doesn’t pay attention to the world beyond the surface of what media shows. There are many of us now. Be patient with people. They can change.

Luke 12:35-38

35“Let your loins be girded and your lamps burning, 36and be like men who are waiting for their master to come home from the marriage feast, so that they may open to him at once when he comes and knocks. 37Blessed are those servants whom the master finds awake when he comes; truly, I say to you, he will gird himself and have them sit at table, and he will come and serve them. 38If he comes in the second watch, or in the third, and finds them so, blessed are those servants!

Psalms 98:1-6

1O sing to the LORD a new song, for he has done marvelous things! His right hand and his holy arm have gotten him victory. 2The LORD has made known his victory, he has revealed his vindication in the sight of the nations. 3He has remembered his steadfast love and faithfulness to the house of Israel. All the ends of the earth have seen the victory of our God. 4Make a joyful noise to the LORD, all the earth; break forth into joyous song and sing praises! 5Sing praises to the LORD with the lyre, with the lyre and the sound of melody! 6With trumpets and the sound of the horn make a joyful noise before the King, the LORD!

Luke 11:47-54

47Woe to you! for you build the tombs of the prophets whom your fathers killed. 48So you are witnesses and consent to the deeds of your fathers; for they killed them, and you build their tombs. 49Therefore also the Wisdom of God said, `I will send them prophets and apostles, some of whom they will kill and persecute,’ 50that the blood of all the prophets, shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation, 51from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechari’ah, who perished between the altar and the sanctuary. Yes, I tell you, it shall be required of this generation. 52Woe to you lawyers! for you have taken away the key of knowledge; you did not enter yourselves, and you hindered those who were entering.” 53As he went away from there, the scribes and the Pharisees began to press him hard, and to provoke him to speak of many things, 54lying in wait for him, to catch at something he might say.

Philippians 3:17–4:1

3 17Brethren, join in imitating me, and mark those who so live as you have an example in us. 18For many, of whom I have often told you and now tell you even with tears, live as enemies of the cross of Christ. 19Their end is destruction, their god is the belly, and they glory in their shame, with minds set on earthly things. 20But our commonwealth is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, 21who will change our lowly body to be like his glorious body, by the power which enables him even to subject all things to himself. 4 1Therefore, my brethren, whom I love and long for, my joy and crown, stand firm thus in the Lord, my beloved.

Psalms 34:2-9

1I will bless the LORD at all times; his praise shall continually be in my mouth. 2My soul makes its boast in the LORD; let the afflicted hear and be glad. 3O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together! 4I sought the LORD, and he answered me, and delivered me from all my fears. 5Look to him, and be radiant; so your faces shall never be ashamed. 6This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles. 7The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear him, and delivers them. 8O taste and see that the LORD is good! Happy is the man who takes refuge in him!

John 12:24-26

24Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit. 25He who loves his life loses it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life. 26If any one serves me, he must follow me; and where I am, there shall my servant be also; if any one serves me, the Father will honor him.

Here. Bookmark this for when Trump wins. Everyone who is a pragmatic critical thinker knows that China will devalue their currency to lower the impact of exports to the USA. Beijing controls the banks and they did this before. As a result, the dollar value increases and imports cost less. The Chinese imports then enter the USA at a lower price consistent with their cost estimate as a tariff offset. China takes in a lower price, but retains access. That’s just how it works. The importers pay the tariff with a lowered price and a higher valued dollar. Essentially statis for the time being. Then….. EU industrial products to Chinese manufacturing plants start to contract, due to China’s aggressive cost cutting initiatives. The EU gets angry about the impact to their economy. The EU then follows the same path and devalues their central bank currency; further pressuring the dollar to an upward price. Exports to the EU are now more expensive, and imports from the EU to the USA are now cheaper. Again, the EU goal is statis. Both scenarios create cheaper USA imports despite the tariffs. However, on the EU side Trump then ends the Marshal plan and executes “tariff reciprocity” against the EU. More frustration and gritted teeth by Brussels. [NOTE: Avoiding this squeeze also explains why U.K PM Starmer was all snuggly to Trump at Trump Tower a few weeks ago – he’s hedging.] Exports from the USA ultimately cost more because the dollar is stronger against EU and Asia currencies. However, a stronger dollar is an offset to BRICS leverage and allows Trump to play economic chess. Trump uses part of the tariff income to underwrite agriculture exports, but… here we have fun… if agriculture exports are impacted, domestic foodstuffs drop in price. Into this dynamic Trump turns to Mexico. We have a strong dollar, all those Western Union transfers to Mexico are more valuable. Leverage is created. The economic situation then overlays the secure border dynamic and if Mexico wants to retain trade access within the USMCA agreement, the part that no one discussed comes into play. Unbeknownst to all those except those who watched Robert Lighthizer do it, the USA has first right of refusal to any trade agreement made by Mexico or Canada. That’s correct, Trump now controls a veto on trade agreements within USMCA partnered countries. Suddenly Xi Jinping is vulnerable in Mexico if Trump nixes the EV production. Beijing is financially exposed and vulnerable. Big Panda not happy. How do we know this will happen? Good question. Answer: #1) This is what Trump did in 2017. #2) Because he said this is what he is going to do. Don’t forget to bookmark. MAGA Bitches!

We need to talk about this more, Utah, because this is exactly the kind of person who is wrecking our state. It’s not an abstraction, it’s real. This is Gary Peacock, a millionaire transplant from California who lives in a 3.5 million dollar home in Park City. The other day he accosted a driver, unlawfully entered his car, forcefully removed him (which is an assault,) and held him against his will while demanding the police come and ticket him. Among the things Peacock said during the exchange were “I’m riding a bike, I have more rights than you.” He also told the driver that he would have him put in jail. The only person who belongs in jail here in Gary Peacock. I guarantee you, if I had done this, I would still be sitting in a Summit County jail facing multiple felony charges. But not Gary Peacock. No, he’s a blue state millionaire. He’s the kind of person Spencer Cox wants to replace you with. Rich, entitled Californian who rides a bike. This is who Utah caters to now. Sure, he’s getting called a “male Karen” all over social media, but I think everybody is missing the larger point of what happened. This guy thinks he can come to Utah and do whatever he wants. And he’s not alone. There are thousands of Gary Peacocks that have moved to Utah since the pandemic. They sell their homes in California, buy a plot of land super cheap here, build a mansion, and drive home prices up. If it was just one Gary Peacock it wouldn’t be so bad. But it’s thousands of Gary Peacocks! This Gary Peacock just got caught! Think about what he said. “I’m riding a bike, I have more rights than you.” Really think about that! That’s how all these people feel! Not just about bikes, but about everything! And guess what, they do! They do because people like Spencer Cox and Deidre Henderson encourage them to come to Utah and do whatever they want, and to hell with the millions of Utahns who get hurt in the process. Gary Peacock ORDERED the cop to cite the driver. And guess what! The cop DID AS HE WAS TOLD! A law enforcement officer literally TOOK ORDERS FROM A CALIFORNIA MILLIONAIRE! THAT! HAPPENED! We need to be more outraged about this. These are the kinds of people who come to Utah and think they’re kings. This needs to be stopped. Open your eyes, Utah! Gary Peacock belongs in jail for what he did. And after he serves his lengthy sentence, he should be ejected from the state. But we also need to end the culture that brought him here. And that means voting out the politicians that incentivize him and his ilk from moving here in the first place.

That, actually, looks like tornado damage.

Galatians 5:1-6

1For freedom Christ has set us free; stand fast therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery. 2Now I, Paul, say to you that if you receive circumcision, Christ will be of no advantage to you. 3I testify again to every man who receives circumcision that he is bound to keep the whole law. 4You are severed from Christ, you who would be justified by the law; you have fallen away from grace. 5For through the Spirit, by faith, we wait for the hope of righteousness. 6For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision is of any avail, but faith working through love.

Psalms 19:8-11

7The law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple; 8the precepts of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes; 9the fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever; the ordinances of the LORD are true, and righteous altogether. 10More to be desired are they than gold, even much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and drippings of the honeycomb.

John 15:1-8

1“I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser. 2Every branch of mine that bears no fruit, he takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit. 3You are already made clean by the word which I have spoken to you. 4Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. 5I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in me, and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. 6If a man does not abide in me, he is cast forth as a branch and withers; and the branches are gathered, thrown into the fire and burned. 7If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you will, and it shall be done for you. 8By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit, and so prove to be my disciples.

So many musical settings to choose from….

“A storm descends on a small town, and the downpour soon turns into a flood. As the waters rise, the local preacher kneels in prayer on the church porch, surrounded by water. By and by, one of the townsfolk comes up the street in a canoe. “Better get in, Preacher. The waters are rising fast.” “No,” says the preacher. “I have faith in the Lord. He will save me.” Still the waters rise. Now the preacher is up on the balcony, wringing his hands in supplication, when another guy zips up in a motorboat. “Come on, Preacher. We need to get you out of here. The levee’s gonna break any minute.” Once again, the preacher is unmoved. “I shall remain. The Lord will see me through.” After a while the levee breaks, and the flood rushes over the church until only the steeple remains above water. The preacher is up there, clinging to the cross, when a helicopter descends out of the clouds, and a state trooper calls down to him through a megaphone. “Grab the ladder, Preacher. This is your last chance.” Once again, the preacher insists the Lord will deliver him. And, predictably, he drowns. A pious man, the preacher goes to heaven. After a while he gets an interview with God, and he asks the Almighty, “Lord, I had unwavering faith in you. Why didn’t you deliver me from that flood?” God shakes his head. “What did you want from me? I sent you two boats and a helicopter.””

At this point, it’s anyone’s guess until we see the gadgets actually doing the dirty work.

Tell her then to help me.” 41But the Lord answered her, “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things; 42one thing is needful.

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, Prince of the Heavenly Hosts, by the power of God, cast down to Hell Satan and all his evil spirits, who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

As always, prayers for the fight against that which seeks to enslave us are welcome. Via con Dios.
