MARK 1:40-45

40And a leper came to him beseeching him, and kneeling said to him, “If you will, you can make me clean.” 41Moved with pity, he stretched out his hand and touched him, and said to him, “I will; be clean.” 42And immediately the leprosy left him, and he was made clean. 43And he sternly charged him, and sent him away at once, 44and said to him, “See that you say nothing to any one; but go, show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing what Moses commanded, for a proof to the people.” 45But he went out and began to talk freely about it, and to spread the news, so that Jesus could no longer openly enter a town, but was out in the country; and people came to him from every quarter.

Badlands News Brief – January 4, 2024

Politicized, Progressive Big Philanthropy

The Jeffrey Epstein files have been unsealed. We have the documents

Tucker Carlson ignites the Internet with new insider info on Epstein’s death…

We Sat Down With the Conservative Mastermind Behind Claudine Gay’s Ouster

Forwarded from Just Human ️️️

The release of new Epstein/Maxwell-related documents has refreshed allegations that Trump was somehow complicit in the blackmailing enterprise that they ran.

This could not possibly be more untrue.

Though some of the transcripts that mention Trump, Mar-a-Lago, and the Atlantic City Casino are newly public, it was previously known and recently testified to in the Maxwell trial that Epstein/Maxwell targeted Mar-a-Lago and that one of the girls in that trial, “Jane,” was taken there in 1994.

It was also previously known that Trump chartered one of Epstein’s planes to take him from Florida to New Jersey. This was testified to by the pilot when he took the witness stand in Maxwell’s trial.

However, what is key here is that Epstein messed up by putting himself on Trump’s radar. Here’s how:

The Atlantic City hotel was a trap for criminals from day one. The FBI and the Trump Organization coordinated during the pre-construction phase to set it up as such. Mar-a-Lago is likely similarly set up.

Epstein/Maxwell’s targeting of Mar-a-Lago employees and guests later caused Trump to ban them from the property in 2008, shortly before Epstein pleaded guilty.

Furthermore, and perhaps most significantly as it concerns these new documents, the very attorney who helped get them unsealed says that Trump was the only person who picked up the phone and was eager to help him investigate Epstein and Maxwell. And that was back in 2009.

Do you know of any other acquaintances or clients of Epstein who were eager to help any investigator or journalist who was looking into Epstein or Maxwell?

So, when you include this information (and I put the citations below), Epstein and Maxwell were walking directly into a trap set up by Commissioner Gordon and Bruce Wayne/Batman when they engaged with Trump and visited his properties!!

PS: Another bad move Epstein made was trying to “weasel” his way back into Trump’s world in 2016, no doubt trying to make friends in high places ahead of a Trump Presidency ( a Clinton Presidency would have been preferable to him, of course). And so Epstein had lunch with Trump ally Peter Thiel, who we now know was also a DOJ asset! Hahahaha!!

PSS: Y’all know that it was Trump’s DOJ who indicted both Epstein and Maxwell, right?

: )

Really? Megyn Kelly? Not that it’s no plausible, but…Megyn Kelly is in on it?

Long read, but worth it. I disagree on some of the finer points, though.

Democrats, do us all a favor and don’t open your fucking mouths moving forward, unless the words are “I’m sorry, you were right”.

You people have lost your privilege to speak in our presence.

You all had the AUDACITY to call us deplorable, while worshipping literal pedophiles.

You all discriminated against us, weaponized all levers of government against us, and claimed WE were the evil ones, because YOU were brainwashed by the pedophiles YOU claimed were the “decent” ones.

You all called us crazy for talking about widespread pedophilia and child trafficking. You claimed that we were conspiracy theorist whack-jobs. Well turns out we were right.

So moving forward, you all do not get the privilege of being taken seriously in any capacity. If you do not denounce your leaders and their crimes against children, you are complicit perpetuating the enabling of crimes against children.

We will not be taking any shit from people who rape children, or their supporters. Your leaders will pay for what they have done, and you can either join us, or shut the fuck up and get out of the way.

1 JOHN 3:11-21

11For this is the message which you have heard from the beginning, that we should love one another, 12and not be like Cain who was of the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his own deeds were evil and his brother’s righteous. 13Do not wonder, brethren, that the world hates you. 14We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brethren. He who does not love abides in death. 15Any one who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him. 16By this we know love, that he laid down his life for us; and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. 17But if any one has the world’s goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God’s love abide in him? 18Little children, let us not love in word or speech but in deed and in truth. 19By this we shall know that we are of the truth, and reassure our hearts before him 20whenever our hearts condemn us; for God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything. 21Beloved, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God;

7Little children, let no one deceive you. He who does right is righteous, as he is righteous. 8He who commits sin is of the devil; for the devil has sinned from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil. 9No one born of God commits sin; for God’s nature abides in him, and he cannot sin because he is born of God. 10By this it may be seen who are the children of God, and who are the children of the devil: whoever does not do right is not of God, nor he who does not love his brother.

13Now when they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, “Rise, take the child and his mother, and flee to Egypt, and remain there till I tell you; for Herod is about to search for the child, to destroy him.” 14And he rose and took the child and his mother by night, and departed to Egypt, 15and remained there until the death of Herod. This was to fulfil what the Lord had spoken by the prophet, “Out of Egypt have I called my son.” 16Then Herod, when he saw that he had been tricked by the wise men, was in a furious rage, and he sent and killed all the male children in Bethlehem and in all that region who were two years old or under, according to the time which he had ascertained from the wise men. 17Then was fulfilled what was spoken by the prophet Jeremiah: 18“A voice was heard in Ramah, wailing and loud lamentation, Rachel weeping for her children; she refused to be consoled, because they were no more.”

According to Chriss Street CEO New California State, Former Treasurer Orange County, CA: “The State’s spending freeze means there will be no money in California to spend on multibillion dollar computer systems. Counties will have to use same day paper ballots with hand counting which cost a fraction of the complex machines to operate. The savings to the counties and state are in the tens of billions of dollars”.

Well, that’s certainly a game changer if it actually happens that way.

This site is a celebration of the natural rights endowed to humans by our Creator as well as those enshrined in the Bill of Rights adopted in the founding documents of the United States of America. Within the limits of law, how we exercise these rights is part of the freedom of our discussion.

THAT MEANS THAT ALL OF US HERE ARE ENTITLED TO OUR OPINIONS AND PREJUDICES, ETC., SO LONG AS THEY CAUSE NO PHYSICAL HARM TO OTHERS OR DOXX OUR FELLOW TREE DWELLERS.

All opinions here are valued for the diversity they bring to the issues, and the shaping of understanding regarding topics for which many of us do not have all information. Correcting the record on any one topic is appreciated.

Be careful in expressing thoughts as we would all like to think well of the rest of the group, and ill-thought out comments have a way of wrecking that for everyone.

Fellow tree dweller, the late Wheatie, gave us some good reminders on the basics of civility in political discourse:

  1. No food fights
  2. No running with scissors
  3. If you bring snacks, be sure they are made with bacon

Auntie DePat’s requests as we are all supposedly adults and don’t just play them on TV like the body doubles pretending to be the squatter in chief:

If you see something has not been posted, do us all a favor, and post it. Please, do not complain that it has not been done yet.

The scroll wheel on your mouse can be your friend. As mature adults, please use it here in the same manner you would in avoiding online porn.

Thank you so much for any and all attention to such details. It is GREATLY appreciated by more than one party here.

1 CORINTHIANS 2:1-10

1When I came to you, brethren, I did not come proclaiming to you the testimony of God in lofty words or wisdom. 2For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. 3And I was with you in weakness and in much fear and trembling; 4and my speech and my message were not in plausible words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, 5that your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men but in the power of God. 6Yet among the mature we do impart wisdom, although it is not a wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are doomed to pass away. 7But we impart a secret and hidden wisdom of God, which God decreed before the ages for our glorification. 8None of the rulers of this age understood this; for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. 9But, as it is written, “What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man conceived, what God has prepared for those who love him,” 10God has revealed to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God.

And now for the business portion of the post borrowed from Tuesday:

Guidelines for posting and discussion on this site were outlined by our host, WolfM00n. Please, review them from time to time.

The discourse on this site is to be CIVIL – no name calling, baiting, or threatening others here is allowed. Those who are so inclined may visit Wolf’s other sanctuary, the U-Tree, to slog it out. There is also a “rescue” thread there for members of the Tree to rendezvous if the main site goes kablooey. A third site has been added for site outages of longer duration.

This site is a celebration of the natural rights endowed to humans by our Creator as well as those enshrined in the Bill of Rights adopted in the founding documents of the United States of America. Within the limits of law, how we exercise these rights is part of the freedom of our discussion. In that spirit, though, threats of violence real or hypothetical are out of bounds.

Fellow tree dweller the late Wheatie gave us some good reminders on the basics of civility in political discourse:

  1. No food fights.
  2. No running with scissors.
  3. If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.

And Auntie DePat’s requests:

If you see something has not been posted, do us all a favor, and post it. Please, do not complain that it has not been done yet.

The scroll wheel on your mouse can be your friend. As mature adults, please use it here in the same manner you would in avoiding online porn.

PSALMS 98:1-4

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!

SATIRE!

Have a good weekend!
