On this day and every day –

God is in Control
. . . and His Grace is Sufficient, so . . .
Keep Looking Up


Hopefully, every Sunday, we can find something here that will build us up a little . . . give us a smile . . . and add some joy or peace, very much needed in all our lives.

“This day is holy to the Lord your God;
do not mourn nor weep.” . . .
“Go your way, eat the fat, drink the sweet,
and send portions to those for whom nothing is prepared;
for this day is holy to our Lord.
Do not sorrow,
for the joy of the Lord is your strength.”

The Unexpected

Wolf here.

I have no idea where Carl is tonight, and I most certainly hope that nothing bad has happened to him or his loved ones, which might explain why he didn’t drop off a post today. Hopefully he just forgot to drop off his usual post here – perhaps “mis-remembering” that he already did so.

No matter what, pray for Carl! In fact, pray for Carl any time you think to do it, because it’s good to do so. We should always be praying for Carl.

Back to the issue at hand.

Normally I wait as long as needed for a new post to go up, before I worry about it, although technically our rule is that something needs to be up by NOON, or I’ll put up a placeholder.

HOWEVER, I sort of feel like giving Carl a break, AND like giving you a substitute sermon.

I regard myself as the sexton of this church – the groundskeeper – the handyman. But I’m also, by design, the one person allowed to tithe to the church, as a kind of security measure.

AND – in emergencies, the “executive assistant pastor”. So here goes. A VERY short sermon.


We have to be “ready for The Lord” at all times. If you’re a Christian, that means you need to be “ready for Jesus” – so to speak. We don’t know what might happen, but THE END can come like a thief in the night.

Some of us have gone on, slowly and with a lot of warning, like Patrick Henry Censored.

Others suddenly and without warning, like Deplorable Patriot.

Others without warning, but without word, and in some level of mystery, like Wheatietoo.

One of the real advantages of faith in God, is that we are OK with whatever happens. We’re ready. I know that I’m ready, because only a couple of years ago, I told my wife goodbye – fully ready to go to Jesus – only to be returned to this world in the next moments, as my bleeding stopped, and my vital signs reversed.

Being ready doesn’t mean being resigned to die, or giving up on life. It means being ready for whatever God wants for us – whether that is to go on here, or to go on somewhere else.

We have seen how President Trump was returned to us – a quarter inch from death. I fully believe that President Trump is right – God spared him with a purpose, and I pray that we align ourselves in support of God’s purpose for President Trump – to make America great in all the ways that a loving God would intend.

I believe that President Trump was READY. His readiness isn’t all that saved him – but he was ready to go to God – or to survive, and to carry on with God’s will for him.

So I ask all of you – take a few moments and strengthen your resolve to be ready, whatever happens. Trust in God – trust that He wants what is BEST for you – not necessarily what is easiest – but that He is compassionate and merciful, and – as Christ assures us, His yoke is easy and light!

God Bless, take care, and have a wonderful week!

DEAR MAGA: Open Thread 20250206 & the Scouring of the Shire


Welcome.
Please visit this January 1st daily thread for the rules of the road,
which are few but important.


Header Image: 2024 Presidential Election Map by County

The Scouring of the Shire.

Reading and reflecting on Tolkien’s final chapter in The Lord of the Rings might help us place ourselves at this time. Fandom tells us: “Frodo, Sam, Merry, and Pippin arrive in the Shire to find that things are not as they once were when they left. The Shire is now run by Sharkey based at Bag End, who with Lotho‘s help had taken over with his band of Ruffian Men. The four hobbits collect as many allies as they can and defeat his army of Ruffians at the Battle of Bywater. The Hobbits then confront “Sharkey” and the lowly Gríma Wormtongue at Bag End, who both meet their demise.”

So, while the noble hobbits had been off saving all of Middle Earth, the “commies” had set up shop in their homeland and caused great harm that will require bravery, wisdom, and a lot of work to undo. It appears that we are somewhere around the beginning of the Battle of Bywater now.

Do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.

For freedom Christ has set us free. Stand firm, therefore,
and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery. — Galatians 5:1



We got our miracle.
America is back.
Now what?

Let us dedicate ourselves to seeking our place in the cleansing, healing, and rebuilding of this beautiful, resource-rich nation. God will guide us.

Thanks be to God for our 47th President, Donald J. Trump.


The Role of County Government in Elections.

Take a good look at that 2024 Election Map. See the outline of each county?


How Does This Work?

Let’s take a look at what the National Association of Counties (NACO) has to say

When trying to understand how to get traction locally in turning the tide for liberty, it seems to come down to the governance at the county level. And from what is being turned up with the groups I’m following, it looks a lot like there is state level and national level collusion to influence or control the governments of those 3,069 counties that are responsible for overseeing our elections. I’ll get into those details in another post.

Reading that overview from NACO, they start out by stating:

Elections in the United States are administered in a highly decentralized process through which each state shapes its own election laws

Well, mostly. The states shape their own election laws, but, as with anything else, federal laws also impose requirements on state and local governments. Maryland’s State Board of Elections gives a helpful overview of these major federal election laws here. The most recent election-related law passed by Congress is known as HAVA.

  • Help America Vote Act (HAVA) of 2002
    This law was the U.S. Congress’ response to the 2000 Presidential election and the first time that the federal government authorized federal funds for election administration. It created the U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC) and set minimum standards for voting systems. It also required each state to adopt uniform standards on what constitutes a vote, implement provisional voting, post certain information at polling places, maintain a statewide voter registration database, and required certain individuals to show identification before voting.

Sounds good right?

Except. There are county elections officials are not following the laws, and yet are still taking the federal money to buy their electronic voting machines. If they didn’t follow the federal laws, then taking that money anyway would be fraud, right?

Thankfully, there are Americans that have stood up and gotten to work discovering and working to address the failures of our elections officials across the nation. I’d like to highlight one citizen oversight group that has done much with an all-volunteer organization.

We want valid elections that are run in full compliance with the law.

I strongly encourage you to watch this short video of a presentation by Marley Hornik of United Sovereign Americans. She goes over the legal framework for election integrity, starting with the constitution and provides the statute citations that must be enforced if we are to have free and fair elections. She also covers what they found when they audited the voter rolls of just 20 states prior to the 2024 election. They found over 29 MILLION apparently ineligible voter registrations, 10 million votes cast by those ineligible voters, 2 million more votes cast than voters that voted, and an average 13% vote error rate. Every invalid registration is potentially a felony level violation. Their organization is litigating with states over their failure to clean up the rolls and unlawful certification of non-compliant elections. They have a good strategy for which states to sue in order to potentially cause a circuit split which could get this heard at the Supreme Court without having to sue all 50 states. Or better yet, maybe the Department of Justice will just do their job.

Presentation by Marley Hornik of United Sovereign Americans
On the Status of our Nation’s Elections (for video click here)

The United Sovereign Americans Action Plan includes (1) informing everyone of election validity law, (2) turning findings into evidence, and (3) forcing election officials to obey the law.

Unfortunately, election officials across America have displayed apathy, disdain, and disregard for the law, and the civil rights of the people they are hired to serve. This has resulted in the certification of elections that varied from the law. Some of these elections were grossly inaccurate. Whether it was incompetence or malfeasance, those who broke the law must be held accountable.

Thank God for their work. May many more Americans join them in their efforts.

DEAR MAGA: Open Thread 20250204 ❀ Tuesday Placeholder ❀ Thank You, American Air Travel

We continue to mourn the untimely passing of our beloved compatriot DePat, known in real life as Susie Sampson, and also as author Patricia Holden.

Until we have a dedicated author for the Tuesday daily open thread, I will be posting “placeholders” like this one, which may or may not be spiced up with additional content.

Gudthots will take DePat’s old Thursday daily open thread.

Please notify me in advance if you would like to post anything in lieu of the Tuesday placeholder. We welcome all content – the topic doesn’t matter.

Addendum: Some Details

First of all, the boilerplate.

By reference, I call to incorporate the rules spoken of in any of Deplorable Patriot’s recent posts, such as her final one.


With that settled, I reiterate……

A call for weekly open-thread authors on Tuesday.

Your submissions only need to be scheduled at 12:01 AM on Tuesday.

The titles need to include the following:

DEAR MAGA: Open Thread YYYYMMDD ❀ [whatever you want after that]

There is no commitment to do this every week. But if you want to do a Tuesday post, just let me know in advance.

We do have a very thin guideline post of basics in the sidebar, shown here:

Looking forward to somebody picking up DePat’s Tuesday sword.

Addendum: An Open Letter In Praise of the American Air Travel Industry

This is just a quick message of THANKS to some people who are sadly undergoing a lot of scrutiny and criticism right now, and who surely could use an “attaboy” and some “kudos”.

You see, sometimes – including recently – I have had to deal with “foreign” airlines of various kinds.

Foreign airlines can actually be quite excellent. Some of them are charming. Some of them are extremely enjoyable to fly on. Some of them are very attentive, and can really help make a trip overseas quite memorable. There are several foreign airlines that I love for different reasons.

HOWEVER.

If you deal with foreign airlines long enough, you are bound to run into their dark and highly inefficient sides. They will sometimes do stuff that just boggles the mind.

In particular, their technology is usually just problematic. Or to be fully honest, it sucks. Big-time sucks.

  • websites will crash
  • websites will drop your session and forget you were ever there
  • representatives will put you on hold and lose your call
  • the company will forget to bill you
  • flights will simply disappear from itineraries
  • picking seats will cause itineraries to malfunction
  • calls to customer service will cause itineraries to vanish
  • confirmation numbers will vanish
  • the same data will have to be “saved” over and over again – and then gets lost anyway

I recently had to deal with an airline that was absolutely no problem the last two times, during the last several years – but THIS TIME – OMG – what an absolute disaster. Dozens of hours arranging things – lost. KAPOOF! Gone. Vanished. So call customer service. Get it all fixed. Everything done. Waiting for the bill. No bill.

And then it all just disappears again.

Just an absolute waste of my time.

SO – because I was short on time – I decided to try something different. I attempted to re-book the trip using an American airline company.

The experience was just overwhelmingly positive. I managed to get almost the entire itinerary of foreign flights that we had before – but this time, everything went perfectly, and we were done in minutes, not hours. No tech errors AT ALL. Billed immediately. All the minor things we needed – DONE.

The websites functioned perfectly. All the international bullshit – DONE.

After all the CRAP we had put up with, it was a PLEASURE dealing with American airline tech – which could sell us foreign flights better than the foreigners could sell them to us.

So I just want to say THANK YOU to the American air travel industry for restoring my faith in air travel. Y’all done good!

DEAR MAGA: Open Thread Thursday 20250130


Welcome.
Please visit this January 1st daily thread for the rules of the road,
which are few but important.


Header Image: 2024 Presidential Election Map by County

Do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.

These are the kind of powerful words that motivated America’s founding fathers to create the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

For freedom Christ has set us free. Stand firm, therefore,
and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery. — Galatians 5:1

It is going to require a decision on our part to “stand firm” and “not submit again” before we are going to begin to take this seriously. But we have the help of God and the intensely determined support of our President, his team, and untold numbers of our fellow citizens.



We got our miracle.
America is back.
Now what?

Let us dedicate ourselves to seeking our place in the cleansing, healing, and rebuilding of this beautiful, resource-rich nation. Are we to pray? Of course. Are we to vote? Absolutely.

But we know there is much to do and not all is certain. We might find ourselves asking, “What am I to do in these amazing days of transformation?” God will guide us.


Priorities.

The Trump-Vance Administration Priorities page @ WhiteHouse.gov provides us with the eagle’s eye view of where we are going. Notice the order of these priorities. Safety of the people first! May the Lord grant us wisdom, strength, and good success.

MAKE AMERICA SAFE AGAIN

  • President Trump will take bold action to secure our border and protect American communities.
  • This includes ending Biden’s catch-and-release policies, reinstating Remain in Mexico, building the wall, ending asylum for illegal border crossers, cracking down on criminal sanctuaries, and enhancing vetting and screening of aliens.
  • President Trump’s deportation operation will address the record border crossings of criminal aliens under the prior administration.
  • The President is suspending refugee resettlement, after communities were forced to house large and unsustainable populations of migrants, straining community safety and resources.
  • The Armed Forces, including the National Guard, will engage in border security, which is national security, and will be deployed to the border to assist existing law enforcement personnel.
  • President Trump will begin the process of designating cartels, including the dangerous Tren de Aragua, as foreign terrorist organizations and use the Alien Enemies Act to remove them.
  • The Department of Justice will seek the death penalty as the appropriate punishment for heinous crimes against humanity, including those who kill law enforcement officers and illegal migrants who maim and murder Americans.

MAKE AMERICA AFFORDABLE AND ENERGY DOMINANT AGAIN

  • The President will unleash American energy by ending Biden’s policies of climate extremism, streamlining permitting, and reviewing for rescission all regulations that impose undue burdens on energy production and use, including mining and processing of non-fuel minerals.
  • President Trump’s energy actions empower consumer choice in vehicles, showerheads, toilets, washing machines, lightbulbs and dishwashers.
  • President Trump will declare an energy emergency and use all necessary resources to build critical infrastructure.
  • President Trump’s energy policies will end leasing to massive wind farms that degrade our natural landscapes and fail to serve American energy consumers.
  • President Trump will withdraw from the Paris Climate Accord.
  • All agencies will take emergency measures to reduce the cost of living.
  • President Trump will announce the America First Trade Policy.
  • America will no longer be beholden to foreign organizations for our national tax policy, which punishes American businesses.

DRAIN THE SWAMP

  • The President will usher a Golden Age for America by reforming and improving the government bureaucracy to work for the American people. He will freeze bureaucrat hiring except in essential areas to end the onslaught of useless and overpaid DEI activists buried into the federal workforce. He will pause burdensome and radical regulations not yet in effect that Biden announced.
  • President Trump is announcing an unprecedented slate of executive orders for rescission.
  • President Trump is planning for improved accountability of government bureaucrats. The American people deserve the highest-quality service from people who love our country. The President will also return federal workers to work, as only 6% of employees currently work in person.
  • President Trump is taking swift action to end the weaponization of government against political rivals and ordering all document retention as required by law. President Trump is also ending the unconstitutional censorship by the federal government. No longer will government employees pick and require the erasure of entirely true speech.
  • On the President’s direction, the State Department will have an America-First foreign policy.

BRING BACK AMERICAN VALUES

  • The President will establish male and female as biological reality and protect women from radical gender ideology.
  • American landmarks will be named to appropriately honor our Nation’s history.

Trying to Keep Up.

This page @ WhiteHouse.gov/news is a great place to follow along as everything begins to unfold. Every executive order shows up instantly and they just keep coming.

So much there: Articles. Briefings & Statements. Fact Sheets. Presidential Actions. Remarks.

A big Thank You to all the team serving in this administration!
And an even bigger Thank You to our 47th President, Donald J. Trump.


Twitterati.

Very recently I finally began to read in the X.com space. The platform is suspicious of me and therefore I do not have an account. Probably due to the basic efforts I’ve made to retain some level of privacy. Oh well.

The kind people here have shown me the way to view people’s feeds by using the Nitter.Poast.org site. It’s opened up a whole new world of information. Very helpful.

I have a new favorite follow. And I recommend her to you. Nicole Shanahan. She was RFK Jr’s running mate. She’s as informed, active and feisty as they come. Nicole Shanahan‘s feed is following the Senate confirmations and a LOT more.

For fresh news on our J6 people and a lot more, Julie Kelly might be the place to visit.


Prayer.

God Bless America,
Land that I love.
Stand beside her, and guide her
Thru the night with a light from above.
From the mountains, to the prairies,
To the oceans, white with foam
God bless America, My home sweet home.

Still not quite up to it, but doing exercises and the like.

TWEETS!

Marco Rubio was impressive on Wednesday.

https://twitter.com/JerryDunleavy/status/1879553592861905122

@JerryDunleavy

The opening statement given by Secretary of State nominee Marco Rubio just now eviscerates decades of failed U.S. foreign policy: “Out of the triumphalism of the end of the long Cold War emerged a bipartisan consensus, and this consensus was that we had reached ‘the end of history.’ That all the nations of earth would become members of the democratic Western-led community. That a foreign policy that served the national interest could now be replaced by one that served the ‘liberal world order.’ And that all mankind was now destined to abandon national sovereignty and national identity, and we would become ‘one human family’ and ‘citizens of the world.’ This wasn’t just a fantasy — we now know it was a dangerous delusion.

Here in America, and in many of the advanced economies across the world, an almost religious commitment to free and unfettered trade at the expense of our national economy shrunk the middle class, left the working class in crisis, collapsed our industrial capacity, and has pushed critical supply chains into the hands of adversaries and of rivals. An irrational zeal for maximum freedom of movement of people has resulted in a historic mass migration crisis here in America but also around the world — it’s one that threatens the stability of societies and governments. Across the West, governments now censor and even prosecute domestic political opponents. Meanwhile radical jihadists openly march in the streets and sadly drive vehicles into our people.

While America far too often prioritized the ‘global order’ above our core national interests, other nations continued to act the way countries always have and always will — in what they perceive to be in their best interest. And instead of folding into the post-Cold War global order, they have manipulated it to serve their interests at the expense of ours. We welcomed the Chinese Communist Party into the global order, and they took advantage of all its benefits, and they ignored all its obligations and responsibilities. Instead, they have repressed, and lied, and cheated, and hacked, and stolen their way to global superpower status, and they have done so at our expense and at the expense of their own country.

In our very own hemisphere, despots and narco-terrorists take advantage of open borders to drive mass migration, to traffic women and children, and to flood our communities with fentanyl and violent criminals. In Moscow, Tehran, and Pyongyang, dictators — rogue states — now sow chaos and instability and align with and they fund radical terror groups, and then hide behind their veto power at the United Nations Security Council and the threat of nuclear war. The postwar global order is not just obsolete — it is now a weapon being used against us. And all this has led to a moment in which we must now confront the single greatest risk of geopolitical instability and of generational global crisis in the lifetime of anyone alive today.”

Hebrews 3:7-14

7Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says, “Today, when you hear his voice, 8do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, on the day of testing in the wilderness, 9where your fathers put me to the test and saw my works for forty years. 10Therefore I was provoked with that generation, and said, `They always go astray in their hearts; they have not known my ways.’ 11As I swore in my wrath, `They shall never enter my rest.'” 12Take care, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil, unbelieving heart, leading you to fall away from the living God. 13But exhort one another every day, as long as it is called “today, ” that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. 14For we share in Christ, if only we hold our first confidence firm to the end,

Psalms 95:6-11

6O come, let us worship and bow down, let us kneel before the LORD, our Maker! 7For he is our God, and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. O that today you would hearken to his voice! 8Harden not your hearts, as at Mer’ibah, as on the day at Massah in the wilderness, 9when your fathers tested me, and put me to the proof, though they had seen my work. 10For forty years I loathed that generation and said, “They are a people who err in heart, and they do not regard my ways.” 11Therefore I swore in my anger that they should not enter my rest.

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.

@CarloMVigano

The “mass deportation” of illegal immigrants is a decision that the State can legitimately take, and this is a principle dictated by Natural Law even before positive civil law or Canon Law. Conversely, the “mass deportation” of illegal immigrants is certainly and indisputably incompatible with the network of pseudo-charitable organizations in the hands of the Bergoglian Hierarchy, the Democratic Party and the NGOs attributable to George Soros, and with the system of complicity between the deep state and the deep church, both of which are actively engaged in the dissolution of the social, economic, cultural, and religious fabric of the Nations in which they have taken control of the institutions. Stopping illegal immigration would make them lose an inexhaustible source of profit, paid for by citizens’ taxes. The “mass deportation” of illegal immigrants is certainly and unquestionably incompatible with the subversive plan of ethnic substitution shared by the globalist elite, because it thwarts it and prevents the creation of the premises for social revolt that are intended lead to a further restriction of fundamental freedoms. When we hear representatives of the deep church (i.e. the Bergoglian “church”) or the deep state speak, we ought to realize that these people are emissaries of the subversive globalist lobby, and that every word they say is false, because behind an apparently acceptable excuse they actually hide unmentionable criminal purposes. Let us not be surprised then if “Cardinal” McElroy – appointed by Bergoglio as “Archbishop” of Washington, heir of the serial abuser and right-hand man of the Argentine Jesuit, Theodore McCarrick – is so busy with immigrants, LGBTQ+, the environment and vaccines: these are the points of the Agenda 2030, which the Bergoglian “church” has been promoting since the Mafia of St. Gallen managed to have a puppet of the World Economic Forum elected “pope”. And let us not be surprised if what the exponents of the deep state and the deep church have in common is corruption, vice, and perversion.

And his commandments are not burdensome. 4For whatever is born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that overcomes the world, our faith.

Remember when I showed in the Vaccine Education Summit that young woman that looked like she had lupus, well, Suramin is an antidote, if you will, to the mechanism of action, which is: inhibit reverse transcriptase because we know this COVID-19 isn’t a vaccine, it’s a manufactured virus. And they put Syncytin. They put the XMRV envelope spike protein, that alone causes all the diseases that could qualify as COVID, Long Haul COVID, they knew exactly what they were doing, and they published, in January of 2020 a review of all the wonderful cancers and viruses, and everything that suramin inhibits.

Rep Adam Schiff and Rep Eric Swalwell were confirmed to have been leaking classified information to the press. The FBI knew they were doing this because of lawful orders to surveil them. But the FBI did nothing with their discoveries, and the DOJ did not press charges. There is full knowledge, with proof obtained by the top law enforcement agency in the nation, that these people betrayed their oaths of office and at the very least are guilty of committing sedition. Those whose DUTY it is to hold these people accountable are not doing so. You need to ask yourself why?

“Mammograms Are A Billions Dollar Business. They’re Only Useful For Profit & Always Do Terrible Harm To The Patient.” Dr John McDougall “Do Mammograms harm? ALWAYS. Should Mammograms be done? NO.” Mammographic compression causes cutaneous bruising, haematoma, rupture of breast implants & cystic masses. Repeated exposure to 3D Radiation causes Cancer. Current 3D Mammography delivers 3X more radiation than 2D mammograms of the past. For every 2,000 women, 1 woman’s life is saved. But, in the process 5 to 50 women will be treated unnecessarily with surgery, chemo & radiation. 600-1,000 of every 2,000 women who undergo Mammograms, will go thru more radiation screening & biopsies for potential diagnosis. Repeated radiation exposure causes deaths from heart disease, lung cancer & other cancers. These iatrogenic deaths are not counted as breast cancer deaths. Quote by World Renowned Cochrane Collaboration: “The best thing a woman can do to lower her risk of becoming a breast cancer patient is to avoid a Mammogram, which will lower her risk 33%.” “If Mammograms had been a drug, it would have been withdrawn from the market long ago. Very few women if any, will benefit, whereas many will be harmed by Mammography. Mammography screening should be stopped because it is harmful.” The screening that promotes health & not harm & doesn’t cause cancer is Thermography & QT Ultrasound Imaging, which has 40 times the resolution of MRI. Lifestyle Cancer prevention to Metabolic Health is thru a Ketogenic Low Carb Way of Eating, eliminating seed oils, Ultra Processed Foods & excess sugar. And avoid synthetic hormonal birth control.

Luke 1:5-25

5In the days of Herod, king of Judea, there was a priest named Zechari’ah, of the division of Abi’jah; and he had a wife of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth. 6And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless. 7But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and both were advanced in years. 8Now while he was serving as priest before God when his division was on duty, 9according to the custom of the priesthood, it fell to him by lot to enter the temple of the Lord and burn incense. 10And the whole multitude of the people were praying outside at the hour of incense. 11And there appeared to him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of incense. 12And Zechari’ah was troubled when he saw him, and fear fell upon him. 13But the angel said to him, “Do not be afraid, Zechari’ah, for your prayer is heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you shall call his name John. 14And you will have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth; 15for he will be great before the Lord, and he shall drink no wine nor strong drink, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother’s womb. 16And he will turn many of the sons of Israel to the Lord their God, 17and he will go before him in the spirit and power of Eli’jah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just, to make ready for the Lord a people prepared.” 18And Zechari’ah said to the angel, “How shall I know this? For I am an old man, and my wife is advanced in years.” 19And the angel answered him, “I am Gabriel, who stand in the presence of God; and I was sent to speak to you, and to bring you this good news. 20And behold, you will be silent and unable to speak until the day that these things come to pass, because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their time.” 21And the people were waiting for Zechari’ah, and they wondered at his delay in the temple. 22And when he came out, he could not speak to them, and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple; and he made signs to them and remained dumb. 23And when his time of service was ended, he went to his home. 24After these days his wife Elizabeth conceived, and for five months she hid herself, saying, 25“Thus the Lord has done to me in the days when he looked on me, to take away my reproach among men.”

This is a good thread, and it highlights some of the things I’ve been saying since election night. Things like: There will be no resistance 2.0. The sane dems will come to support major parts of Trumpism. This period reminds me of the fall of the Berlin wall. The lying legacy media destroyed itself during the election. The lying legacy media continues to dig their hole deeper by how they are reacting to the loss and Trump’s nominees. The gop establishment are still a bit delusional and think they can stand in the breech. This isn’t 2016 And while the thread doesn’t draw any conclusions, it’s clear that most have no idea what’s about to hit them come Jan 20th. We will see a blitzkrieg like we have never seen before. Energy prices will crash. Regulations will be gutted, illegal immigration will come to a stop, deportations will be swift, and pink slips will be going out to 10,000s of gov workers. Wars will end, hostages will be released, tarrifs will be placed, and on and on. It’s going to be glorious, and the majority of the country will celebrate. While many on the left’s major players will try to hide or flee. The lying legacy media won’t have any idea on what to cover or even what narrative to push. And as each domino falls, it builds momentum for the next and the next and the next to fall. By July 4th, 2026, much of America will be in a totally different place and mindset.

Dr. Mark Hyman: “Diabetes reversible, heart disease reversible, Alzheimer’s, now Richard Isaacson has done amazing work showing how we can reverse Alzheimer’s using aggressive lifestyle interventions.” “We’ve spent, this is a great example about $2 billion and over 400 studies trying to find drugs for Alzheimer’s and nothing has worked. The drugs that are approved are extremely expensive, have marginal benefit, a lot of side effects and cost a huge amount of money and may delay your entry into nursing home by two or three months. That’s a win. That’s not very good.” “Now there’s a couple of trials that have been done. The finger trial out in Europe and the pointer trial, which is emerging, that showed aggressive lifestyle intervention, diet, exercise, managing stress, sleep, optimizing all your risk factors. was able to not just slow the progression of Alzheimer’s and dementia, but to reverse it. This is published data. This is not my opinion.” “Richard Isaacson also has published this data. And now using biomarkers, and we can actually test with function, soon we’ll be adding biomarkers for Alzheimer’s. So now there’s blood tests for Alzheimer’s. So you don’t have to wait until you forget your keys. And also for cancer, you’re asking about cancer, we do a multi-cancer.” “So on imaging, which is very expensive and difficult and not- Brain imaging. Yeah, brain imaging. You can see the changes up to 30 years before you get Alzheimer’s as a symptom. With blood tests, it’s not as far as that. We’re still figuring out what those times are, but you can see start, these proteins start to develop in the blood that indicate there’s something happening and you can then intervene early.” “And the thing about Alzheimer’s is that if you intervene early, you can have an incredible benefit to help slow the progression and delay it and actually reverse it. And I’ve seen this in my patients. I wrote a book about this, the Ultramine solution 15 years ago, the Dale Bredesen’s written a book called the End of Alzheimer’s and documenting that we have to get through causes.” “I think it’s a medical paradigm shift. You know, I think as most doctors are in a world that’s flat world, they don’t understand that the world is round. We’ve shifted a paradigm scientifically from a disease-based diagnostic system to understanding the body as an integrated ecosystem. And so the work of people like Lee Ray Hood from the Institute for Systems Biology, his Phenome Project, is mapping out how. our understanding of disease is completely wrong.” “It’s based on labeling people according to symptoms and where it is in their body rather than on mechanisms and causes. So I wrote a book called Young Forever, which is about longevity. We talked about it, I think, last time I was on your show. And in the book, I talk about the scientists who come up with this model of what are the root causes of aging?” “Because we think aging is just, it’s gonna happen inevitable. We’re gonna get sick, we’re gonna get older, we’re gonna get frail, we’re gonna get weak. and they’ve identified the underlying biology behind that. So if we cured heart disease and cancer from the face of the planet, we might extend life five to seven years. You can get the same thing with meaning and purpose or playing tennis.” “But if you actually drill with the hallmarks of aging, the things that really go wrong, inflammation, mitochondrial insure, or nutrition, you can act, and your microbiome, all the things that underlie disease, you could extend life by 30 or 40 years, which means living to 120, which is a crazy notion, right?” So we now understand biology in a very different way than we did before, and it hasn’t translated into the clinic. And so why I co-founded Function Health with my co-founders was to help accelerate this gap, to kind of leapfrog over this ossified system. But we need to change.”

NEWS: Tensions continue to rise over mass deportation responsibilities as we get closer to President Trump taking office. This time between the Sheriff and San Diego County Board of Supervisors. Sheriff Kelly Martinez officially announces she will not side with any “super sanctuary” policy in place in San Diego. She pointed out that she is an independently elected official, which she is, and the Board does not set policy for her office, which they don’t. Essentially, the Sheriff just called out the Democrats on the Board for virtue signaling, saying she had made her position clear and they knew she would not adhere to this policy before they voted 3-1 to approve it. Good for Sheriff Kelly Martinez for being on the right side of history with President Trump. We have 40 days left until Liberation Day begins, America!

26In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, 27to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary. 28And he came to her and said, “Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with you!” 29But she was greatly troubled at the saying, and considered in her mind what sort of greeting this might be. 30And the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. 31And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus. 32He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Most High; and the Lord God will give to him the throne of his father David, 33and he will reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there will be no end.” 34And Mary said to the angel, “How shall this be, since I have no husband?” 35And the angel said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be called holy, the Son of God. 36And behold, your kinswoman Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son; and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren. 37For with God nothing will be impossible.” 38And Mary said, “Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her.

As you watch the pieces move about the board, if you have some idea of what the endgame looks like, you’re a very happy person these days. Hunter can talk now. About EVERYTHING HE KNOWS. Hell, as many of you know, I suspect he’s been talking for years behind the scenes. But now they can begin rolling out ‘the largest criminal investigations [note the plural, please] in modern day history.’ Declass is coming. They can’t stop it because the evidence was compiled years ago and patriots have been safeguarding it. The country is now ready to see it all. The country was not ready to see any of this in 2017. Or in 2020. Hell, not even by 2023 was much of the country ready to see the Awful Truth. Now? The battlespace is prepared. We are in position to finish the enemy off. When the Declass happens and it all comes out about JFK, 9/11, the Fed, where all the Ukraine billions actually went, what 100 bn/yr in ‘foreign aid’ actually is, where all the missing children went, Epstein Island & who was compromised and controlled there, etc. etc.? The public turns on The Machine. Forever. No going back. That will be the most dangerous time. Pray and stand fast in your faith and do not waver or be afraid.

Don’t listen to anybody telling you nothing is happening. News Flash: Trump was NEVER in any real legal danger. He knew that Soros prosecutors would go after him. He “purposely” took the slings and arrows to set future “precedent” so that past presidents are no longer above the law. Presidents can now be prosecuted for crimes once they’ve left office. Trump didn’t commit a single crime and knew he would never be sentenced. Now for the Boomerang. Have you noticed lately that a whole lot of judges are suddenly standing for the constitution instead of playing politics? What’s changed? Have you heard the term “enemy combatant”? These judges are making a choice to be on the right side of history. Do you want more evidence of that? “Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has been ordered by a local judge to release all communications between her office, Special Counsel Jack Smith’s office, and the January 6th Committee regarding her RICO case against President Donald Trump and his allies, after she was found to have violated federal law by withholding them.” https://zerohedge.com/political/fani-full-release-ordered-after-fulton-da-sat-rico-records… Fani Willis was bringing a RICO case against Trump. But now she has to turn over all communications she had with other “enemy combatants” that were helping her in a conspiracy to frame Trump. Now she is going to be exposed and will find herself being prosecuted in a RICO case of treason. The perfect boomerang! This was always going to be the outcome. This is just one sting operation. There are so many more about to be exposed. Greatest military planning in history.

And now for the business portion.

Please review our HOST and site owner’s Guidelines for posting and discussion for this site. Wolf is kind enough to put up with *most* of us and our antics after thorough vetting. Violators of the baiting and deliberately attempting to divide the group rules WILL face consequences.

The discourse on this site is to be CIVIL – no name calling, baiting, or threatening others here is allowed. Company manners are appreciated. Those who are so inclined may visit Wolf’s other sanctuary, the U-Tree, to slog out discussions best saved for a wrestling mat. If, for some reason, this site is not available, head over to the UTree and visit the post at the top of the list or the closest rescue thread.

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.

Isaiah 26:1-6

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.”
