17Is it not yet a very little while until Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field shall be regarded as a forest? 18In that day the deaf shall hear the words of a book, and out of their gloom and darkness the eyes of the blind shall see. 19The meek shall obtain fresh joy in the LORD, and the poor among men shall exult in the Holy One of Israel. 20For the ruthless shall come to nought and the scoffer cease, and all who watch to do evil shall be cut off, 21who by a word make a man out to be an offender, and lay a snare for him who reproves in the gate, and with an empty plea turn aside him who is in the right. 22Therefore thus says the LORD, who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob: “Jacob shall no more be ashamed, no more shall his face grow pale. 23For when he sees his children, the work of my hands, in his midst, they will sanctify my name; they will sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and will stand in awe of the God of Israel. 24And those who err in spirit will come to understanding, and those who murmur will accept instruction.”

1In that day this song will be sung in the land of Judah: “We have a strong city; he sets up salvation as walls and bulwarks. 2Open the gates, that the righteous nation which keeps faith may enter in. 3Thou dost keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee, because he trusts in thee. 4Trust in the LORD for ever, for the LORD GOD is an everlasting rock. 5For he has brought low the inhabitants of the height, the lofty city. He lays it low, lays it low to the ground, casts it to the dust. 6The foot tramples it, the feet of the poor, the steps of the needy.”

201Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, holding in his hand the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain. 2And he seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years, 3and threw him into the pit, and shut it and sealed it over him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years were ended. After that he must be loosed for a little while. 4Then I saw thrones, and seated on them were those to whom judgment was committed. Also I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their testimony to Jesus and for the word of God, and who had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life, and reigned with Christ a thousand years. 11Then I saw a great white throne and him who sat upon it; from his presence earth and sky fled away, and no place was found for them. 12And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Also another book was opened, which is the book of life. And the dead were judged by what was written in the books, by what they had done. 13And the sea gave up the dead in it, Death and Hades gave up the dead in them, and all were judged by what they had done. 14Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire; 15and if any one’s name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire. 211Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. 2And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband;

22Then he made the disciples get into the boat and go before him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowds. 23And after he had dismissed the crowds, he went up on the mountain by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone, 24but the boat by this time was many furlongs distant from the land, beaten by the waves; for the wind was against them. 25And in the fourth watch of the night he came to them, walking on the sea. 26But when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were terrified, saying, “It is a ghost!” And they cried out for fear. 27But immediately he spoke to them, saying, “Take heart, it is I; have no fear.” 28And Peter answered him, “Lord, if it is you, bid me come to you on the water.” 29He said, “Come.” So Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water and came to Jesus; 30but when he saw the wind, he was afraid, and beginning to sink he cried out, “Lord, save me.” 31Jesus immediately reached out his hand and caught him, saying to him, “O man of little faith, why did you doubt?” 32And when they got into the boat, the wind ceased. 33And those in the boat worshiped him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of God.”
Before I get into the meat of my argument, allow me to drop all pretense and disavow you of any notion that I consider negative emotions or frustrations on account of the position we find ourselves in today to be without merit. That said, while I would certainly like to be celebrating the aftermath of a crushing Red Wave that soundly overwhelmed [their] systems of fraud en route to taking Congress as an appetizer to Trump’s coup de grâce announcement, I do not believe anything we have witnessed in the last 24 hours, or even the last week has fundamentally altered the overall trajectory of our movement.
What we are dealing with here, on an emotional level is simply a case of the expectation game rearing its ugly head. It’s a serpent that has bitten us all, which, rather than wearing as a mark of shame we should consider the scars of perceptive, engaged and discerning minds. Minds that hunt in the deep places and scour the dark so that we might cast a bit more light on the proceedings and take back the past, present and future Globalist forces would seek to deprive us of.
There will always be claims of goalpost moving or hopium, which some of us refer to as the ‘Doomer’s Refrain,’ but the fact remains that we are currently involved in and engaged with the most complex Fifth-Generation Psychological and Information War ever waged both against AND for the American people, and the people of the would-be sovereign world, for that matter.
It stands to reason that much is obscured from us, just as it stands to reason that ‘assets’ in every sense of the word will be activated when the collective and subversive enemy believes it is an opportune time to strike at the heart of a MAGA base they see as fracturing.
That piece is worth the time, especially for those who cheered the Daughn comment yesterday.
“Never let a good crisis go to waste”. Winston Churchill made this statement immediately after the end of World War II when he sat in Yalta with US President F.D Roosevelt and Soviet leader Joseph Stalin to divide the Allies’ spheres of influence. It also led -and Churchill referred to this with his ‘never let a good crisis go to waste’ statement- to the creation of the United Nations.
As with many of Churchill’s other quotes, that statement took on a life of its own, long after the man’s passing, but there are some things to be said against the final outcome. The Yalta meeting eventually resulted in mistrust, the Cold War, the arms race, the Iron Curtain, the Berlin Wall and everything that came after.
Over at the Conservative Treehouse, site owner Sundance provides an excellent article distinguishing the difference between ballots and votes. Votes are the expressed intention of a voter for a particular government leader. Ballots are filled out pieces of paper that express the choice of a particular leader. Both are counted for an election. In the current system, ballots are gathered or harvested either, legally or illegally, and submitted. Given the lack of prosecution, the legality of it apparently does not matter. Votes represent the will of the people; ballots may or may not.
This disenfranchising process could not happen if one political party vehemently opposed it. Another excellent, must-read article by Dan Gelernter on American Greatness observes that the fault lies not with a particular political party, but with all “the politicians,” to include their supporting cast of donors. It’s not a grand coordinated conspiracy based on an ideology. It follows the fractal pattern of self-organization with a common motivation: greed.
Our first president, George Washington, provided a warning of the eventual power political parties could attain. In his farewell address, Washington cautioned, “However [political parties] may now and then answer popular ends, they are likely in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government, destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion.”
For over six years, representatives of every established institution in the country have stereotyped Americans who voted for President Trump as bigots, idiots, ignoramuses, haters, psychopaths, and traitors. The virulence of this condemnation has escalated each year, culminating during the 2022 mid-term election cycle with a full-court press to tag anyone who supports the former president as a fascist and and potential “domestic terrorist.”
Those who openly proclaimed their support for Trump, even if they expressed themselves with tact and rational arguments, focusing on his policies, and even while acknowledging Trump’s often confrontational persona, lost lifelong friends and faced threats to their livelihood. By the millions, they were made to feel unwelcome in their own country.
Anger breeds anger. Contempt breeds contempt. With Newtonian certainty, the disgust has become mutual. But on one side, with rare exceptions, the entire institutional weight of the most powerful nation in the world has lined up. The media, the search engine and social media platforms, the entertainers, the teachers and professors, the corporations, the government agencies, the politically active billionaires: Almost all of them proclaim Trump supporters to be horrible, dangerous people.
With their control of all major educational and media institutions, progressives have had the ability to control the political language we use for a good half century now. Historically, they have used that control, in Orwell’s words, “to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.” In recent years, however, they have used language as a cudgel.
Orwell also told us how we fight back. “We have now sunk to a depth,” he wrote, “at which the restatement of the obvious is the first duty of intelligent men.” Comedian Dave Chappelle has been made a pariah in many circles by doing just that, stating the obvious. “Did you know that Planned Parenthood was for abortions?” Chappelle said in a 2017 comedy special. “It’s for people that don’t plan things out at all.” He might have pointed out there is no parenthood involved either.
Chappelle accurately calls this era “the age of spin.” He followed up by subverting another euphemism of the pro-abortion movement, asking the young males in his audience, “Are you pro-choice or anti-consequences? What does it all really mean?” Many in the audience laughed and applauded, not fully realizing that Chappelle has just skewered one of their most sacred cows. In the process, he may have changed at least a few minds. Ridicule works.
There’s not a force of man or nature as strong in its devotion to a mission, as Donald Trump is to this nation. That’s the core, the heart, the genuine essence of the thing, that separates President Trump from all others. Within that love of country, is a strength of determination that is almost uncanny to witness; and from that love of country an authenticity emanates that is impossible to duplicate.
Donald J Trump is, quite simply, unapologetically American – and tens of millions just love him for it.
If we want Trump 24 make sure our governors aren't swamp. Make them fix the system in-state. The swamp is uniparty, make no mistake about that! The uniparty are never-Trumpers and they will not see him elected-EVER! The only way he will be is if we INSIST on election overhaul!

31“When the Son of man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne. 32Before him will be gathered all the nations, and he will separate them one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats, 33and he will place the sheep at his right hand, but the goats at the left. 34Then the King will say to those at his right hand, `Come, O blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world; 35for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, 36I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.’ 37Then the righteous will answer him, `Lord, when did we see thee hungry and feed thee, or thirsty and give thee drink? 38And when did we see thee a stranger and welcome thee, or naked and clothe thee? 39And when did we see thee sick or in prison and visit thee?’ 40And the King will answer them, `Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, you did it to me.’

Okay, y’all, here we go, and don’t forget the legacy media is going to try to spin the delays in counting as some sort of non-victory. Page one of Thursday’s daily is full of such examples. Please, don’t fall for it.
Folks, relax. We’ve seen enough, and we’ve seen this exact playbook before.
The delayed “official results” from Colorado, Arizona and Nevada are all part of the organized narrative engineering from SoS offices, party officials (local and state) and corporate media. It’s transparent now.
There was key “target races”, not defined for political outcomes per se’ but rather …. they were identified for official media targeting; for script writing and narrative engineering; under the guise of being identified as “key races” to sense, gauge and create a storyline for election distribution by corporate media.
In the big picture the goal was to undermine and deflate the MAGA base represented by President Donald Trump. 2022 midterm MAGA wins downplayed and or delayed. 2022 MAGA losses overemphasized, highlighted and promoted as part of the script. That’s what we are seeing now. That’s all we are seeing now.
Citizen Free Press’s headline was that the vote total for MAGA in 2022 was higher than the TEA Party wave. The electorate is engaged. That is a good thing.
Because if we were told the truth, there would be no public support let alone yard signs that say, “I stand with Ukraine.” As it is, we pray for the war to be stopped every Sunday at the one parish where I sing.
Jeff Miller is not a household name, but he stands to yield tremendous influence when the next Congress gets sworn into office.
That’s because no one on K Street is as close to Rep. Kevin McCarthy as Miller.
“A lot of people like to think that they’re close to Kevin,” said a former McCarthy aide. “There are very few people who actually talk to him about stuff or that he reaches out to proactively on stuff … Obviously, Jeff is a very key and central figure of that group.”
Russ Vought, who was the Director of The Office of Management and Budget under Trump, explained that Kevin McCarthy “is in serious trouble” in his race for Speaker of The House.
Kevin McCarthy is in serious trouble as a candidate for Speaker. Let me explain. 🧵 1/x
It starts with the fundamentals. The vote for Speaker is not behind closed doors. It is on the floor of the House of Representatives. There is no lying back home about how one voted. And all Dems vote against the GOP nominee, always. 2x
This is how you get people to contest election results. No matter who wins, we will never trust the count. We call this stuff #Fraud. https://t.co/gB17d5dCC4

There’s more to this than just Trump picking on DeSantis:
Kari Lake suggested Ron DeSantis is part of a conspiracy to "slow roll" her election results.

4I rejoiced greatly to find some of your children following the truth, just as we have been commanded by the Father. 5And now I beg you, lady, not as though I were writing you a new commandment, but the one we have had from the beginning, that we love one another. 6And this is love, that we follow his commandments; this is the commandment, as you have heard from the beginning, that you follow love. 7For many deceivers have gone out into the world, men who will not acknowledge the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh; such a one is the deceiver and the antichrist. 8Look to yourselves, that you may not lose what you have worked for, but may win a full reward. 9Any one who goes ahead and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ does not have God; he who abides in the doctrine has both the Father and the Son.
SATIRE!
This one stands alone for all Americans who have watched entirely too much daytime television.
What happened yesterday? What happened in the grip of an intractable surveillance and police state cabal that has full spectrum dominance over every institution we have? From Academia, The Media, Big Tech, Hollywood, Wall Street, the Fed, Congress, The White House and the entire Administrative State?
We punched them in the face yesterday at the ballot box so hard that, despite the MSM happy dance football spike, we have at this moment NOT LOST THE COUNTRY and are poised to win full control of Congress.
President Trump had an incredible day yesterday. He endorsed 183 candidates. ONLY 9 did not go his way!
This is NOT OVER. It’s just beginning. Now more than ever it’s time to focus and have steely resolve…not crawl up in the fetal position.
All the odds have been stacked against us. But we are prevailing and those responsible for what they’ve done to our beautiful country will be held accountable.
It’s always useful for conservatives to watch the legacy networks, starting with PBS, to fully appreciate the level of bias that pervades their “news” organizations. While watching them all the time might quickly become intolerable, return periodically to be reminded: The political content on these networks serve the interests of the Democratic Party.
These days, and for at least the past year, PBS anchor Judy Woodruff, along with every PBS reporter, repeats the term “election denier” dozens of times during every daily news broadcast. They repeat it without irony, without hesitation or qualification. It doesn’t matter what level of skepticism someone may have about the 2020 election. Skepticism in and of itself makes one a “denier.” One can have well founded, incrementalist concerns about election integrity, or one can believe every allegation ever made about systemic election fraud, but there’s no room for such a continuum. According to PBS, all these folks are “election deniers.”
stealing not just an election, but the society that underpins it is a tradition as old as democracy. many civilizations at many times have done it many different ways: some by stealth, some by blatant grabs, and many with the idea that if their treason doth prosper, none shall dare name it treason.
but to really do a good job of it, you have to start planning ahead and laying groundwork in advance.
of course, you need to be sure that exactly who is voting, for whom, and how many times is basically impossible to determine by moving to dodgy closed source voting methods and mail in ballots that can be added at will, ballot stuffed, and generally mishandled. this is just 101 stuff.
I know that the months ahead will make for some spirited political debate among friends, but I encourage you to cement in your minds this quintessential image of Trump unbroken and unbowed. Whatever else can be said about the man (and there is plenty), he remains the only leader in our times unafraid to stand alone. When other self-proclaimed allies run the other way or look for somewhere safe to weather the approaching storm, Trump stands inside the tempest, demanding that it give up and surrender. That’s something that will forever separate him from those who pretend to be him.
It has become normal to deconstruct Trump’s public appeal to something as basic as he fights! Yet it is not just that Trump fights; it is why he fights that has attracted such a diverse voting coalition unlike any other political movement today.
In September 2009 the TEA Party scared the bejezus out of the establishment. That morphed into MAGA. They’re still trying to stop us.
Newsflash: Having vote tabulators in 20% of your facilities malfunction, and machines that mistabulate 1 in 5 ballots is an ACTUAL threat to democracy. #arizona#Midterms2022#ElectionDay
I can’t believe how brainwashed some of you are. Really. It’s astoundingly grievous. You’re like your own form of spiritual, sociological, political AIDS.
If we use strictly paper ballots, hand counted, and only cast on election day (which could easily be a national holiday), there would be no need for machines, and no delays in results while the machines are "down."

We are not past the point of no return. We learned that grassroots, solidarity and all hands on deck works. We learned that majority does not want crime, gender wars , war and corruption. We are fighting a minority that is organized and well funded. It is time to unite. https://t.co/L8P6ZyUQTD
Very dumb narrative being pushed that it's Trump's fault that we didn't have a red wave.
DeSantis had a historic performance in Florida because MAGA and the GOP establishment rallied behind him. In other areas the GOP establishment opposed the Republican if they were America 1st
This, according to Paul Ryan's FOX, not the people. Trump had the guts to make endorsements, and a majority of his candidates won. Abortion won it for the democrats, because @LindseyGrahamSC threw a stink bomb anti-abortion bill in the Senate.
McConnell needs to be fired! He supported candidates that stood for him instead of the people. The death cult democrats who support abortion got out their vote!
The Democrats are likely to take away the lesson that no matter how badly they govern us, they can hold power through early voting and "messaging." If that's how they act for the next two years, they will pay a heavy price.
Even though everyone now thinks DeSantis is the golden ticket nationally, he endorsed and campaigned for several candidates who lost. He did extremely well in Florida. That popularity didn’t translate into wins outside his state
The media is drawing a false contrast between DeSantis on one hand and Trump and #MAGA on the other. DeSantis rose with Trump’s backing by embracing MAGA. Both men have great strengths—and some obvious weaknesses—and both terrify the Left. They may be strongest working together!
I’ve got the 2016 feeling all over again. Being told by the smart set that Trump can’t win, is bad for the party, etc. I’m not sure what will happen between now and 24 but I know I won’t listen at all to the GOP smart set.
Until the WP-YT thingie gets fixed, y’all are stuck with what I can find on Rumble.

7For I have derived much joy and comfort from your love, my brother, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through you. 8Accordingly, though I am bold enough in Christ to command you to do what is required, 9yet for love’s sake I prefer to appeal to you — I, Paul, an ambassador and now a prisoner also for Christ Jesus — 10I appeal to you for my child, Ones’imus, whose father I have become in my imprisonment. 11(Formerly he was useless to you, but now he is indeed useful to you and to me.) 12I am sending him back to you, sending my very heart. 13I would have been glad to keep him with me, in order that he might serve me on your behalf during my imprisonment for the gospel; 14but I preferred to do nothing without your consent in order that your goodness might not be by compulsion but of your own free will. 15Perhaps this is why he was parted from you for a while, that you might have him back for ever, 16no longer as a slave but more than a slave, as a beloved brother, especially to me but how much more to you, both in the flesh and in the Lord. 17So if you consider me your partner, receive him as you would receive me. 18If he has wronged you at all, or owes you anything, charge that to my account. 19I, Paul, write this with my own hand, I will repay it — to say nothing of your owing me even your own self. 20Yes, brother, I want some benefit from you in the Lord. Refresh my heart in Christ.
The backlash against Obama’s leftist policies brought us the unabashed patriot, Donald Trump. But by the time Trump was inaugurated, the cancer from Obama’s eight years in office had done its damage, and many in the federal government had become fully engaged members in the cult of progressivism. From the fiction that America has widespread “white supremacy,” to environmental extremism, to LBGTQXYZ fanaticism, to the open borders lockstep, leftism was now baked into much of the government ruling America.
Trump shocked the world and stepped into a Washington that more resembled a swamp of vipers than the seat of a functioning government. The leftist cabal—including a wide swath of those government workers—spent 4 years seeking to derail the plans of the duly elected president of the United States. This treachery culminated in November 2020 when the government colluded with the media and social media to execute a coup against the sitting president under the guise of “The most secure election in American history.”
And it is that coup with which Barack Obama achieved his greatest success in “transforming” the United States because it gave us Joe Biden.
The suggestion printed by the WEF-loving, pro-war lefties at The Atlantic is that they and their global team of unscientific lemming-like nanny-state bullies – just possibly – were a bit misinformed (not their fault) in 2020/21 regarding masking, untested genetic injections, and actual death rates, etc (not their fault). This bully squad accepted without question the lies their government told them (not their fault). They not only eagerly, but radically and angrily defended and promoted those lies (partly their fault).
They hope we understand that it wasn’t entirely their fault, and that they are still smart and educated. They really just wanted to live and survive a flu-like disease with a death rate comparable to any other bad flu – and their nagging and incoherent jammering and name-calling was just so we also wouldn’t die – unless we refused the experimental free required shot and continued to live our lives and try and keep our businesses open, then if we died it was kind of funny to them.
Their excuse was fear, but in reality it was not fear at all, and nor was it hate although it looked like it. It was contempt from Day One. Leftover contempt from the Trump era, pumped up and recirculated via a government over-response to a disease that now we understand to have been created via gain of function in a government lab by American scientists, including several who had close personal and professional relationships with Fauci. It was individual contempt, political contempt, and institutional contempt for the masses as demonstrated by the Gates Foundation and its compadres, the Democratic Party, and numerous government aligned institutions and industries.
The Times piece attacked the work of Frank Mitloehner, a researcher and animal scientist at the University of California, Davis, who heads the university’s Clarity and Leadership for Environmental Awareness and Research (CLEAR) Center. The Times‘s Hiroko Tabuchi reported that the CLEAR Center, which hosts Mitloehner’s blog and supports his research, is funded in part by a group called IFEEDER (Institute for Feed Education and Research), a nonprofit associated with the American Feed Industry Association. The implication, never stated, is that Mitloehner’s scholarship is compromised by the center’s industry donors.
Mitloehner is a regular critic of activist scholarship that seeks to tear down the American agricultural industry. Instead of trying to end cattle ranching and replace it with cricket farming, he works with farmers to change their feeding practices and lower their carbon footprint. He is a proponent of reform, not revolution.
“People want us to go on record that animal agriculture should fade away or be significantly reduced, but that’s not our charge or our place,” Mitloehner said on his blog. “Our mission is simply to reduce animal agriculture’s impact on our climate and environment, and to do that, we must work with the people who are raising the food that feeds us all.”
In one of the most egregious cases of voter fraud, a family member or someone else cast a ballot in this deceased person’s name and notified the county that they were deceased on their signature card.

3For by the grace given to me I bid every one among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith which God has assigned him. 4For as in one body we have many members, and all the members do not have the same function, 5so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another. 6Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, in proportion to our faith; 7if service, in our serving; he who teaches, in his teaching; 8he who exhorts, in his exhortation; he who contributes, in liberality; he who gives aid, with zeal; he who does acts of mercy, with cheerfulness. 9Let love be genuine; hate what is evil, hold fast to what is good; 10love one another with brotherly affection; outdo one another in showing honor. 11Never flag in zeal, be aglow with the Spirit, serve the Lord. 12Rejoice in your hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer. 13Contribute to the needs of the saints, practice hospitality.
WASHINGTON, DC — As the date of next week’s midterm elections approaches, President Joe Biden used his Wednesday night address to warn everyone that the results may not immediately be known because it may take several days for enough Democrat votes to be harvested and double-counted.
“Despite the fact that third-world countries around the globe are capable of tallying their votes on the same day as their elections, it’s simply not realistic to expect that from the world’s most technologically advanced nation,” Biden shouted with an unnecessary amount of anger to the assembled crowd made up entirely of White House staffers and the media. “Folks, we’ve got to take our time, find out how far behind we are, and wait for the unmarked vans carrying bags full of ballots to arrive in the middle of the night. Then we gotta find out how many times we have to count each ballot. Tomato soup.”
Rant time. Are we MAGA normies or are we digital soldiers? MAGA normies would be perfectly fine with “winning” an election, or gas prices going back to 2$.
We are not like them. Why? Because we have been unplugged. We have seen the light at the end of the tunnel. Normies don’t see the light, they only grasp to live by the next wins and loses. We have seen the future. This separates us entirely.
Part of the separation also lies within understanding that this is all much bigger than just us.
We aren’t just fighting to get temporary wins. We are fighting for the world to be Changed! Change is hard. Change requires a leap of faith.
Every single one of us are making a leap of faith by putting our heart into the transformation of the world. So let’s make a decision right now, do we want to just go back to the way things were, or do we want the world to be transformed?
This is where we’re at. Will you hold the line when things are uncomfortable? Will you stand your ground in adversity?
I don’t remember the Q post that says this will be comfortable and easy.. I do know that Q says “it’s going to be Biblical.” Why?
Not only because prophecy connects to current events, more so the story of Moses. The people had to leave bondage. The people faced major challenges on their way to the promised land.
Can’t you see the promised land? A world without the Cabal… We don’t even know what life really looks like.. they have created a vision of desolation imprinted on all of our eyes.
Guys.. frens.. the world is in a metamorphosis. We are standing at the doorway to the paradigm of the ages. God has Destined this moment. He is putting on a spectacular display for all to see.
Can you believe that this moment right now is the true beginning to your life? Can you be so optimistic that you see the glorious plans The Lord has for your life and the world?
If the world is changing then let’s join in the process, all will be swept up in the winds of change anyway! We become free.
I refuse to look back. I will peak into the mysterious birth of an Era. I am making a simple choice. I will not let the war get any leverage on me.
I am a son of God and all forces against me will be my Bread, including negativity. I will stand in authority over Darkness.
God Wins. White Hats are in control. We are warriors. We do NOT live in the frequency of fear. We are NOT victims. We are blessed. We are honored in Heaven. God is proud of us. The plan is going Perfectly.
Loaded ships are still waiting off the coast of California because there aren’t enough trucks that meet the state’s emission standards to unload them — and it’s going to get worse in 2023, when more rules kick in. The ports are choked with cargo containers while perishables spoil and store shelves run empty. It’s a government-created problem. What is the government’s solution? Mandate that port employees work overtime loading the trucks that aren’t there. It’s government problem-solving 101.
The airline industry is plagued with cancelations and late flights. And it’s not because of climate change (bad weather) or mechanical failures. It’s because they don’t have enough pilots. When we tried to control a virus by closing the country, pilots retired, others refused to comply with the vaccine mandate and were fired, and some unknown number took the vax and found they could no longer pass their physicals. But this time, Pete is on the case. He’s told the airlines that the Department of Transportation will fine them if they don’t hire more of the pilots that don’t exist. That should light a fire under their executive tails.
I have it on good authority it’s not just pilots in short supply. Lack of ground crew is part of it as well.
Despite the fact that a Pew Research poll finds that only 27% of Americans think Biden succeeded in Afghanistan while a whopping 69% see his abrupt deadly withdrawal as a failure, Biden, apparently eager to show his contempt for the American people again, called the withdrawal “an extraordinary success,” but it wasn’t any of his sons or daughters blown to bits at the airport. And the problems caused by arming the Taliban with the U.S.’s best military equipment will fall on future presidents, Afghan dissidents, the women and girls of Afghanistan, and the victims of future terror attacks. Congratulations, Joe!
Monday’s viral Atlantic piece—now subject to thousands of indignant tweets and TikToks and columns like this one—might be laughably outrageous, but it cannot be dismissed out of hand, for the Atlantic remains the mass middle-class, middlebrow magazine of choice in America; as a status symbol, it signals possession of a college degree, even suggesting a graduate school stint on top of it. It is Reader’s Digest for good liberals embarrassed by Reader’s Digest, a West Wing script on glossy paper. The people who do not deserve a pandemic amnesty read it.
Emily Oster is an economist at Brown University. She wrote her Atlantic essay to ask the other smart moms of the world permission to forgive herself for masking her kids. But the Atlantic published her little essay to obscure a critical point: experts should be held to a different standard than the rest of us. Some people are downstream from “the experts,” and during the Covid responses they did what they thought they were supposed to do, as best they could tell. Neurotic rule followers are annoying, but if there are any in your family you should forgive them; the relationship is more important than “I told you so,” and hopefully they can admit they were wrong, that they listened to the wrong sources.
Other people are “the experts” and, more importantly, “the authorities.” And when they are wrong they must admit it, and be held accountable. That is what makes them, in our modern democratic and scientific society, authoritative: accountability to the public record. The Atlantic’s amnesty essay blurs those two categories, for Oster is both a private citizen and a public expert admitting she got things wrong. But she can only represent, only speak for, the class of experts in general, not the public health experts who formulated our pandemic response or the authorities who implemented it. Her apology to herself, to her children, to her readers, is not theirs. In actually considering what the piece suggests, an amnesty for disaster, Oster and her personal record on the Covid response hardly matter.

If a mentally ill intruder broke into Mar-a-Lago and struck Trump in the head with a hammer, not only would the Trump-deranged left barely contain their glee—for they’d deem it retribution, as they felt when Trump contracted Covid-19—they’d recruit the thug for Congress.
My uncle was taken from my aunt and admitted to the ICU for covid where he died alone on 12/31/20. He struggled for 10 days before receiving Remdesivir that finished him off. While she kissed his cold cheek the hospital was cut a check for $19k. I will NOT forgive or FORGET.

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.”
Given the above, to measure a purple people eater cocktail in parts, you would need:
1 1/2 part vodka
1 part blue curacao
1 part sweet and sour mix
1 part grenadine
1 part cranberry juice, can also use cran-grape or grape juice
Keep in mind that the above is just for mixing the core drink ingredients. It does not include the measurements for decorating individual drinks, since how much you need will depend on the type of glasses you use and how many guests you have. You can also choose to totally skip decorating the glasses to make serving this drink easier.
The dissidents at Project Veritas have received leaked whistleblower information from the FBI highlighting a guidance document that puts “disinformation” into the category of an “election crime.” [Source Article Here] According to the internal guidance, sharing “false or inaccurate information intended to mislead others” may lead the FBI to charge people with election crimes.
Note the way Sundance is now labelling patriots “dissidents.”
This is nothing new to all of my loyal Substack followers, but 99% of the Western world had no idea this was going on, because the MSM have refused to report on it. These allegations have been formally presented over the course of the past 8 months, and the media buried it.
But now, after Russia’s 8 months of evidence, exposing US biological malfeasance, human experimentation, pathogen negligence, and weapon production; the UN Security Counsel have found themselves unable to ignore Russia’s allegations, as well as the pressure from the rest of the non-NATO countries of the world.
The Western media don’t report on it, but the rest of the world are completely sick of the Western world (Globalists) and their biological activity, which they allege led to the C19 outbreak.
What we are witnessing, is the global backlash for Covid. Someone released a bioweapon on the world, it turns out it was the people who benefited from it most, the US DNC and their Deep State partners. Who created and released the virus to justify mass mail-in voting, to use voter fraud to steal the election, abuse emergency powers to gain control, etc etc.
One of the main endlessly repeated storylines the Democrat-media complex has come up with in the run-up to the 2022 election, necessitated by the disastrous first two years of the Biden administration, is that one must elect Democrats to “save our democracy.”
Unfortunately, the Democrats were not “saving our democracy” when Obama’s IRS director Lois Lerner used government power to target conservatives (the “tea party”) to get Obama re-elected, lied about it, and, because of that big “D” behind her name, was let off with no consequences whatsoever.
The Democrats were not “saving our democracy” when Hillary Clinton (D-NY) and the DNC purchased a fake Russian dossier in order to defraud the voters by framing Donald Trump of colluding with the Russians, thereby doing tremendous damage to our nation.
The Democrats were not “saving our democracy” when the Obama administration spied on its political rival, Donald Trump, something the Democrat-media colluders have been willfully blind about.
The Democrat’s were not “saving our democracy” when, after it became clear that Trump had won in 2016, the Democrat “election deniers” poured onto the streets screaming, setting fires, making violent threats and behaving like 2-year-olds that didn’t get the cookie.
Montgomery tells us that according to one poll, 47 percent of Republicans and Republican-leaning Independents want Trump to be the nominee in 2024. Zounds! Can you believe it?
Well, yes—especially since there really isn’t anyone else, yet, who has staked out Trump’s territory. Trump may be less their candidate than a placeholder for a whole portfolio of sensible policies—policies that Post reporters and their ilk wouldn’t touch with a 20-foot garbage poll.
Montgomery wants you to know that he’s not alone in his negative opinion of the 45th president’s policies: He turned to “21 experts in the presidency, political science, public administration, the military, intelligence, foreign affairs, economics and civil rights.” Ah, yes: what would we do without experts?
The first thing Trump would do? According to one of these “experts,” he would seize control of the government. Well, sure. That’s what most presidents do. They’re elected to do precisely that. People are policy, so if you want to change the policies, you have to change the people. It is surely a mark of frantic journalism, and frantic journalists, that they make the normal and obvious sound scandalous.
Trump is too crude in his habitual verbal comportment, lacking in the polish and restraint we associate with the presidency at its ideal best.
Trump continues to dwell on a rigged 2020 election, a grievance that casts him in the light of a sore loser and renders him something of an obsessive.
Trump is too old. After Biden, another geriatric president would be a liability. DeSantis is in his early forties and represents a vital alternative to the specter of feebleness and senility exhibited by Biden.
Trump is too controversial and would generate considerable opposition.
All these points, I believe, can be easily rebutted.
As a Rabbi in Southern California, I have been confronted recently all too often with tweens and teenagers wanting to become a different sex. Clearly a lot of this has to do with the push for gender modification from the leftist establishment in California, including especially schoolteachers who seem to think their agenda on this issue is more important than the wishes of the parents, let alone the children themselves.
But while this external push to lose gender identity is being thrust upon our children, it seems that an inordinate percentage of them are accepting this notion of becoming “gender fluid”. In working with youngsters in our religious school and Bar Mitzvah program (the Bar or Bat Mitzvah is the rite of passage a 13-year-old Jew goes through), it has become clear to me that we, as parents and teachers, must understand the deeper issues that are troubling young people so that we can combat this abuse of our youth by the political and leftist elite.
Consider a scene back in August at the University of Minnesota Medical School. Robert Englander, a physician affiliated with Harvard and Johns Hopkins, led the class of 2026 in a bizarre alternative to the Hippocratic Oath. Repeating the words in unison, dozens of white-coated students committed to uproot “structural violence deeply embedded within the healthcare system” and to “honor all indigenous ways of healing that have been historically marginalized by Western medicine.” They also vowed to fight white supremacy, colonialism, the gender binary, ableism, and “all forms of oppression” that supposedly afflict the medical profession.
I doubt this means that the University of Minnesota will now only certify physicians who prescribe rhinoceros horn and healing drum circles. Still, a university spokesperson assured reporters that these kinds of hyper-politicized oaths are a “common practice” in medical schools and are designed to “promote humility, integrity, and beneficence” among future doctors.
Science Held Hostage to Ideology
The thing to notice in this story is not merely the eerie religiosity, but also the way students are being encouraged to subject science to progressive moral goals, honoring oppressed cultures and embracing their ideas about healing. This is a far cry from the detached skepticism of yesteryear. The late “New Atheist” Christopher Hitchens famously said that “what can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence.” One wonders how he’d respond to the increasingly mystical and moralistic character of “woke” politics and institutions.
The cleaving of information on social media and information platforms is already well underway. I doubt anything currently undertaken to slow that process will have any effect. In essence, the ideological Big Tech platforms removed half the potential discussion purposefully and with specific intent; that decision has created alternate platforms where a more honest non-woke conversation about issues and events takes place.
Corporate advertising is part of the attack vector controlled by professional activists who use threats, fear and intimidation to target any advertiser who might want to reach an audience on a platform not directly controlled by Google, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter or Big Tech in general. Musk’s appeal to advertisers does nothing to stop organized left-wing political activist groups from continuing their onslaught against speech they disagree with. In the modern era few, if any, large advertisers want to enter this mosh pit political brawl.
And thus, the messiness of real life enters the digital battlefield.
When the British people voted to leave the European Union back in the summer of 2016, there was great rejoicing among freedom fighters both inside and outside the U.K. who find global schemes of government not only antithetical to citizens’ inherent right to national self-determination, but also the surest path toward statist tyranny. “Conservative” Prime Minister David Cameron (I use pants-on-fire quotation marks, since the climate-change-crusading, tax-and-spend, surveillance-state-supporting Big Government disciples of the Conservative Party in the U.K. are only slightly less Marxist-socialist or outright Stalinist than their Labor adversaries) had taken a gamble with a U.K.-wide referendum on Brexit, convinced the measure would fail. To his and the global Establishment Class’s manifest chagrin, the people voted for independence from the European Union’s de facto empire.
Cameron subsequently resigned for his failure to buttress the Davos governing model, and in came Theresa May, whose selection as prime minister by her colleagues seemed a shortsighted miscalculation that once Hillary Clinton won the presidential election a few months later, a May-Clinton-Merkel triumvirate of double-X chromosomes enthroned over Germany, the U.K., and the USA would usher in the Age of Woman, or some such identity politics rubbish — before globally approved “political correctness” turned 180 degrees and decided that men could be women, too.
She’s built like a certain female trumpet player I know, who appeared at the pool this summer in a tank suit. As a fellow choir member said, “YOWZA!” and not in a good way.
Less than two weeks before the election, Democrats are signaling that key races are slipping away from them. They point to ominous signs and missed opportunities, including the party’s message on abortion rights and gun control that isn’t resonating and a lack of coordination between the campaigns of Rep. Val Demings, who is vying to unseat Sen. Marco Rubio, and Charlie Crist, who is challenging Gov. Ron DeSantis.
Dear L Dotters. We are heartbroken. Our beloved Lucianne passed away peacefully and surrounded by loved ones in her own home, the way she wanted. But she has left a whole in our lives that we can never fill completely.
Lucianne was a loving wife, mother, and grandmother. She was also a patriot who expressed her love of this country with both political fierceness and penetrating wit.
In that part of her world this site became her home, her community, and her voice. She also wanted Lucianne.com to endure and she made arrangements that it would do so – just as it has for the past 25 years. The same loyal staff, the same policies, and the same principles. ( And before you ask, her son Jonah will not be involved. She loved her son without reservation, but they saw politics differently from time to time. So, we’ve worked it out. The Lucianne.com team will stay on and Jonah will stay out of it.)
Obviously, no one can replace Lucianne. But we can carry-on in her name. We’re not asking you to send money or make donations to anything. We’re just asking you to stick around. We think that’s the best way to honor and keep her memory alive. Please keep her light shining.
Twenty years ago or more, when this author started in the keyboard warrior game, Lucianne and Free Republic were about all that was available in the way of online forums not geared toward liberals. Through these vehicles, a lot of information that otherwise would not have come to light did. Well done, Mrs. Goldberg. Rest now.
Tweety Tweets:
RACE CARD ALERT…
President Biden, in a speech yesterday, says “small airline seats” unfairly impact “marginalized people” and “people of color.” Sources say he had to be talked out of adding, “In other words, you ain’t really black, if you ain’t fat.”

They’re still mandating Covid boosters at many “elite universities,” and despite the mountains of data that prove this is worthless (at best) and dangerous for some, Fauci, Biden, and the democrats refuse to stop it. In fact, they support it.
If you are a leftist and you find yourself kicked off Twitter—I’m not saying this will happen but merely saying if it does—this would be a good time to remember all your old tweets insisting Twitter is a private company and can do whatever it wants!
This is what they’re going with. Now we’re ableist bullies because we think you should probably be able to form a sentence if you’re running for public office. pic.twitter.com/n2HO9XM5R9
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.
Fellow tree dweller the late Wheatie gave us some good reminders on the basics of civility in political discourse:
No food fights.
No running with scissors.
If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.

1The heavens are telling the glory of God; and the firmament proclaims his handiwork. 2Day to day pours forth speech, and night to night declares knowledge. 3There is no speech, nor are there words; their voice is not heard; 4yet their voice goes out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them he has set a tent for the sun,
