It's time for the annual Pride roundup. Is the proud month of celebration of atypical sexualities advancing, shrinking, or holding ground? The answer will surprise and encourage you.
Has anyone else noticed that the slow death of DEI and Pride happened after the dissolution of USAID? The money for the circus came from somewhere and now that money has dried up.
I was at my local Target yesterday and there were NO ads, clothes, signs mentioning pride or rainbows. It was terrific to see. What I did see were clothes and sweaters for the whole family with USA and our flag on them.
Yesterday, I heard that some African Countries have signed minerals contracts with the USA in exchange for receiving some of the USAID aid they used to get for free! Go Trump! Now that ties in perfectly with America First negotiation style, though it really means that the USA is done being the piggy bank of choice for Turd World Dictators!
As expected, some African Countries are upset that the "Colonialist America wants to get something in exchange for handing money to their Dictators. Lol Globalist Welfare recipients. So predictably pedantic!
Actually, the second act for these types is always to re-brand the last act. So, They re-grouped and used their Act-Blue, NSAID, NGO money, and redistributed it to create ICE Protests. Which also meant minimal funds for their usual in your face, sexual shenanigan celebrations!
Someone needs to inform Tucker Carleson. He has tremendous reach and is inspiring anti-trump sentiment in the independent crowd (i used to be one) so i am worried
Yay! Good to know. We moved out of the city over 5 years ago, so haven’t been to a Target in many years. It used to be a favorite store, and then they changed the whole look and feel of it, even before the “pride” thing.
I promised myself I would never cross the threshold of a Target Store again and I’m sticking to that promise. They have nothing I can’t find elsewhere. I stay clear of Bud Lite, too😏
Exactly! Fool me once! They were my go to store when the kids were young. I used to joke that we should own stock because between housewares, clothing and school supplies, birthday and Christmas gifts, we had dropped a small fortune at Target!
We didn't leave Target, Target left us! Thankfully, we have outgrown our spending heavy spending years!
I feel the same way Jay. I did not buy anything while I was there. Was just snooping around to see if they were being woke or not. I was pleasantly surprised though.
I did not buy anything. Just went in to see what my local store was doing for pride month. I was almost tempted to buy a summer sweater with the flag on it and USA but did not. Stand your ground MaryAnn.
I will never go back to Target. They are on our my " xxxx list". Got two of those. One is with my financial advisor; Target listed with Disney as NOT investable for me.
Sadly, during the WOKE JOKE years, most anyone with mutual funds, CD's and other retirement/pension accounts were investing in all of the above and more! The BIG Investment firms, Blackrock State street and Van Guard were quietly using our money to further the DEI takeover of our Government institutions and the Businesses that we were boycotting!
Years ago Target announced in our area they would not allow Salvation Army bell ringers in front of their stores. I have not and will not frequent them ever!
Wouldn't you know,,, the one Charity that has the lowest overhead and true altruism, is the one they cancel! My guess is that the Salvation Army would not allow itself to be Grifted by the Mob!
I asked ChatGPT what national holiday was in June and it said that there was an Independence Day June 14th. I replied I thought America’s Independence is July 4th. It said well yes but and then went on to explain Juneteenth.

But what do we do about the Treasury Secretary who claims to be married to another man and is raising adopted children? This seems like an endorsement of PRIDE by our current administration. I'm serious. How do we navigate the waters of hypocrisy that our "blind eye" approach to the matter has left all of us who support this president. He didn't have to select Bessent or Grinnell knowing the biblical stance on homosexuality and he surely would have been advised against it by Christian men close to him yet he did it anyway and then recently boasted about how he garnered a large portion of the gay vote in 2024.
Neither of those two men shove it down our throats or expect us to use pronouns, share their views or in any way participate in their beliefs. They both excell in their jobs. They are the gays that I do not worry about. They hurt no one else with their life choices.
One might argue that they "shove it down our throats," by taking the step of "marrying" another man when marriage is between xx and xy chromosome people and since the term marriage implies sexual relations, then exalting anyone who flaunts their sin, (the Bible clearly calls homosexuality that in multiple texts), by giving them national prominence, perhaps even signing our currency, is sending the wrong message to our kids that as long as you're good at something, it doesn't matter the lifestyle you choose. Would Trump have endorsed Hegseth if Pete had proclaimed he was an adulterer, would continue to philander and furthermore, sees nothing wrong with it? Of course not, but that's what's been done with Bessent when you think about it.
And because you didn't know, you're pretty sure others don't and that it will never be discovered by the masses which may cause an even greater spiritual crisis among our youth when they see his name on currency and having achieved such heights in wealth and fame during his time as Trump's Treasury Secretary, so why not go in that direction themselves if the conservative's choice for president thinks it is ok by virtue of his naming him to such a prominent post?
We've all sinned but we're called to struggle against sinning in the future not to throw up our hands and say, "Oh well, it's too hard to resist so I'll just give up trying." And you must be referring to Obed who spilled his semen on the ground rather than impregnate his wife. Other than that story which I have no reason to doubt is true, it is the sin of lust that is at the root of all sexual experiences outside the bonds of marriage between man and a woman therefore when we lust, we must confess it before God, ask forgiveness and then repent which means we resolve to turn away from our sin but if we fail again, we are not to stay there and wallow in our sin no matter what it might be-theft, murder, gossip, drunkeness, etcs.
I think the Lord has enough grace, mercy and patience to go around to all. Remember, the rain falls on the just and the unjust. I can't judge the level of one sin over another, but I know Jesus covered all sins for those that believe in him. If any is without sin, let him cast the first stone. We don't know the relationship between others and the Lord so let us not be the judge. Dr. Bessent is extremely talented and seems to love helping to make America great again. Would you rather have someone straight and corrupt? Didn't Jesus say that the greatest one of the commandments was to love one another. We can pray also for those who we feel need prayer and also lift them up. I do love the saying that if you point a finger at someone, you still have 3 pointing back at yourself.
Do you remember what Jesus said to the woman after He said to the crowd, "He that is without sin cast the first stone?" He told the adulterous woman to "Go and sin no more." He forgave her but called her to leave her sin behind. Someone who claims to be married to another man is obviously not leaving his sin behind. We're all called to struggle against sin not give in to it and eventually have our hearts hardened to it to the extent we no longer even see it as sin.
From the beginning of the “gay marriage” debate I thought we should just call it something else, like civil unions. The homosexuals who wanted to “marry” really just wanted some of the same household rights married people enjoy, like hospital visitation and inheritance without the hassles. I’m not very comfortable with the right to adopt children, but am fine with the rest of it, and calling it a “civil union” would have given them rights without forcing Christians to compromise on the sacred institution of marriage that was actually invented by God. But at the time, the gay community insisted on full endorsement.
As a side note, I would have been in favor of ALL marriages being redefined as civil unions for the purposes of government rights and responsibilities, and we Christians could have kept the term marriage for all the religious implications. In other words, give it back to God and the church. Why let the government issue “marriage licenses” anyway? It doesn’t belong to the government.
I don't think that civil unions give the same rights. Marriage, according to the state, is a contract that affords certain rights, as well as responsibilities. It's part of property law, as everyone knows who ever watched a bitter divorce, complete with who gets the house and who gets the kids.
My co-worker lived with his partner for over 40 years. When his partner got sick, he asked for EIB time to take care of him, but the employer, a hospital, refused to give it to him. They also didn't give him medical benefits. But guess who the hospital came after when it was time to pay the hospital bill? They knew darn well who was the employed one in the family.
I thought that was wrong, so I supported gay marriage. Like you say, it has nothing to do with religion. People can get married in any church they want, but the contract law doesn't kick in until the government is involved, like it or not. I am also fine with calling all of it civil unions.
Well, Mrs W, you can make many points that way pointing to history. For example, humans in tribes in America practiced both prolonged torture-till-death techniques and cannibalism. These facts don't make for a better society. If you follow Christian principles you understand they champion the husband being male(only) and the wife subject to him and supporting his plans while earlier in the bible it quite blatantly calls out queers as an "abomination", which their practice of sex in the rear truly IS.
All Abrahamic religions champion the nuclear family and, in fact, ancient Israel as evident in the OT, championed it making it, in fact,
"from time immemorial".
From my perspective anyone anywhere is FREE to do what they like in private. Just don't dump beliefs of perversion on ME or my family or try to screw up a society and civilization paid for by the lives of millions of my fellow citizens over the last 250 years by parroting your queer story in public. This country was bought dearly once, saved from dissolution in 1869, and was founded by men with CHRISTIAN morals that never did include the abomination of queer culture.
Don't tread on me and the founding fathers of America.
Does this speak to President Trump chosing the bedt person for the job? He doesn't discriminate, nor does he "check the box" to hire specific characteristics, rather than qualifications.
Gay people exist and have for millenia, probably always. I do not want the lifestyle mainstreamed, (which arguably was and is the goal of religious texts) but I do not want those people demonized either. I personally find it off-putting but that's how I know I am heterosexual.
While I agree philosophically with your position, i have to also agree with other posters that our national laws do not discriminate for folks' personal shortfalls in offices, and allow for arrangements of single sex "marriages" (whether we likecit or not; would have preferred civil unions if any allowance). We have a national history of flawed men in office, generally they kept their flaws to themselves and executed their offices well. Bessent and others in Trump's administration seem like that. And are a positive contrast with Biden's cross dressing appointees! They were in our faces, and perfored awfully in their offices!
If Trump didn't know Bessent was a proud homosexual then I would agree but that is highly unlikely. Try to substitute another sin in place of the practice of homsexuality. Suppose Bessent admitted that he was a cleptomaniac and didn''t intend to give up his practice of stealing, would Trump have nominated him? Of course, if Bessent didn't admit to his larcenous bent, Trump would not be held responsible.
Personally, I object to putting a Soros henchmen in charge of the Treasury Dept.
There are very few people as corrupt and evil as Soros, and Bessent was part of the operation to short the British pound back in 1992. That didn't go well for the Brits.
The seven sins cover Soros more than homosexuality. Pride. Greed, Lust, Envy, Gluttony, Wrath, and Sloth.
The first five warn against the very sins personified by Soros and other financial manipulators.
I also was concerned about this connection. But, I have seen no actions on the part of Bessent to do damage. So far, he seems to be excellent at his job, and that is all we may require of him as a public servant, and is very witty besides. Meritocracy. What he does in his off time is his own business.
Agree with you 100% on Soros. I really don't understand why he has not been prosecuted for treason (and all manner of bad deeds) and had citizenship stripped. Now, his mealy mouthed little lily of a son has taken over and he even married 50 yr old Huma Abiden -gross on it's own -( bet he had to marry to 'prove' he's straight.).
Just for fun "Soros Definition -an urn or receptacle for keeping the bones of the dead"
Saying the current admin endorses Pride by the appointment of our Treasury Secretary is like saying heterosexual orgies are being endorsed by the appointment of any straight officials.
It boggles the mind when you think about how much public money is being siphoned off, misdirected, misappropriated, laundered, and outright stolen. I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say that if it weren’t for the fraud, waste, and corruption, we wouldn’t be $30T in debt. We need to bring back DOGE full force at the national level, and at the state, and municipal levels. In conjunction with that, we need to create mechanisms to stop spending money (much of which we don’t have) for anything but very limited government.
Adding to the waste and corruption that's created the national debt would be all the wars and conflicts we've financed and been drawn into. Somewhere out there are a lot of people who owe that money back to the tax payers.
I want all Government Grants to stop! Until each case can be properly vetted and evaluated, assigned to an auditing arm, much like we assign children and elderly to Social Workers for monitoring.
Not that I think Social Workers are the answer, but a computer tracking system that follows the money and verifies the intended usage, and records progress/failure of the Grantee, would be a step toward eliminating fraudsters. The PTA's Safe Routes to School program asking for a Grant for a bicycle path, separated from a commuter route with multiple ingress and egress points, is a good use of Grant money and not where the GRIFT is happening.
It's either being more accurate or it's continuing to manipulate society. Does it cover Buddhist & Hindu holidays too? If not it's just more manipulation, Google is good at that.
On my Android phone I went to settings on my calendar and I saw holiday and I went there and set it to Religious and Christian holidays. So far no Muslim stuff 👍
As with most things it has to do with the root of all evil—company financing is controlled by the WEF, and they required these companies commit DEI CEI and ESG suicide or they would withold it. Now the kids are ruined. Satan laughing, spreads his wings.
But the man from whom the demons had gone out was begging Him that he might accompany Him. But He sent him away, saying, “Return to your house and recount what great things God has done for you.” So he went away, proclaiming throughout the whole city what great things Jesus had done for him.
That’s our charge. That’s our instructions for what we are supposed to do with our life. While some of us are called to drop everything, leave our homes, and follow God to who knows where, most of us are to follow God right back into our own homes and share His Good News from there.
"...Gay marriage rights were supposed to once and for all satisfy gay people’s civil rights concerns."
Here's the problem. "Civil rights" are by definition "rights" that are given by the State which can be changed or revoked by the State. This effectively makes all men slaves of the Government. Our founders recognized this and declared America will be a land of TRUE liberty. As enunciated in the Declaration of Independence, America was founded upon the principle of "unalienable rights given by God". In other words, there is a higher law that civil government is to be held accountable to that define the unalienable rights of all men. Biblical law is thus a restriction on the power of the State.
The USG has long ago abandoned any concept of unalienable rights as defined by God's Word. From the SCOTUS on down, "rights" are only those rights granted by the government which can be changed or cancelled depending on the policies being pursued by the government. We saw the results of this over the last six years when churches were closed, the economy shut down and a bio-weapon sold as a "vaccine" was forced upon all of America.
There is no true repentance until the nation, once again, affirms that our rights as men are "unalienable rights granted by God". "Gay marriage rights" are NOT a right under Biblical law.
Bravo Politico Phil. You are correct to point out that rights given to people by the government are not the full rights mentioned in the Declaration of Independence. We must be ever vigilant to ensure that our God given rights are not violated by the government in its pursuit of control over the public.
"Woe, woe, how terrible is this place. And those men said to me: This place O Enoch, is prepared for those who dishonor our God, who on earth practice sin against nature, which is child- corruption after the sodomitic fashion, magic making, enchantments and devilish witchcraft, and who boast if their wicked deeds, stealing, lies, calumnies, envy, rancor, fornication, murder, and who, accursed, steal the souls of men, who, seeing the poor take away their goods and themselves was rich, injuring them for other men's goods, who being able to satisfy the empty, made the hungering to die being able to clothe, stripped the naked and who knew not their creator, and bowed to the soulless (and lifeless) gods, who cannot see, nor hear, vain gods, (who also built) hewn images and bow down to unclean handiwork, for all these is prepared this place among these, for eternal inheritance.
And the Liberal party of Canada who also removed God from their platform and are trying to remove it from our Nation by use of laws to punish us for speaking of our faith in God.
"In short, we must not be distracted by myriad marginal issues and false dichotomies like left vs. right, liberals vs. conservatives and so forth. The ultimate culprits, the super-predator threatening humanity are the high-level bankers: a handful of families and individuals who control and manage the present monetary system. We’ve no choice but to oppose and defeat them."
"Two parties" is a deception giving the people a false belief that they "have a choice." There is no choice. There is only the uniparty. Rep/Dem or Biden/Trump - simply different flavors of the same control mechanism.
“Then God spoke to Noah and to his sons with him, saying, “Now behold, I Myself do establish My covenant with you, and with your descendants after you; and with every living creature that is with you, the birds, the cattle, and every beast of the earth with you; of all that comes out of the ark, even every beast of the earth. I establish My covenant with you; and all flesh shall never again be cut off by the water of the flood, neither shall there again be a flood to destroy the earth.”
God said, “This is the sign of the covenant which I am making between Me and you and every living creature that is with you, for all successive generations; I set My bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a sign of a covenant between Me and the earth. It shall come about, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow will be seen in the cloud, and I will remember My covenant, which is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and never again shall the water become a flood to destroy all flesh. When the bow is in the cloud, then I will look upon it, to remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.”
And God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant which I have established between Me and all flesh that is on the earth.””

So I've been walking 5 kilometres every day for past 75 years! Everyone applauded and asked again "But how come your wife is very healthy as well?" The old man answered "That is another secret. For 75 years every single day she has been following me to make sure I really walk the full 5 kilometres!"

Cinderella is a castaway. Her ship broke and she washed up on a barren, rocky island in the middle of the sea.
There's nothing helpful on the island, not trees or animals or even grass. Cinderella starts to cry. "Oh, what will I do?"
Then POOF! Her Fairy Godmother appears.
"Oh thank my lucky stars!" Exclaims Cinderella. "Fairy Godmother, I need your help again! Please get me off this desert island and back safely to land!"
"Oh, deary me!" Says the Fairy Godmother. "Unfortunately, my magic can only turn things into other things. I could make one of these rocks into a ship to sail you home, and some other rocks into sailors, but it would be a journey of many weeks, and they'd all turn back into rocks at the stroke of midnight and you'd drown! I think I will have to fly across the ocean myself and try to convince a ship to sail out to rescue you! But it will take days, or possibly weeks, and you might starve in the meantime. So here is what I will do. I will give you some of my magic."
Zippity zoop! The Fairy Godmother waves her wand at Cinderella.
"There. Now, all you need to do is point at something and say a type of food, and that thing will turn into that food and so you will be able to stay fed and healthy until I can return."
"Oh, thank you, Fairy Godmother!" Cinderella says. "Let me try it out right now!" She points at a nearby rock. "You are a roast turkey."
POOF! The rock turns into a perfectly cooked roast turkey, smelling delicious. Delighted, Cinderella points at a seashell. "You're a milkshake!"
POOF! The seashell turns into a milkshake.

A man has died and is waiting to be transported to the next stage
He wonders aloud to Death about what happens next. Death replies "YOU WERE A GOOD FELLOW ON EARTH , YOU WILL GO TO HEAVEN , WHERE YOU WILL ENJOY ETERNAL YOUTH , YOU CAN DO BASICALLY ANYTHING YOU WANT , ANYTHING YOUR HEART DESIRES ".
The man thinks that's pretty wonderful, and settles in for the journey.
Death announces that he has to go and speak to St Peter and do the paperwork, so the man is left alone for a while in Death's office.
He thinks to himself about what he wants to do when he gets there, he could eat all of the delicious foods he never got to try on earth, he could drive the best sports cars he could imagine, he could even be a care-free child again.
He lingers on that final thought for a moment, it's so appealing to him to be able to run around, play, be silly, and do everything for the first time again with nobody judging him. He gets excited, and stands up.
Death returns into the office, just in time to see the man bouncing on the sofa. He asks "WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?" to which the man replies "I'm having the time of my life, or should I say time of my death?" Just as he finishes speaking, the sofa tears open, and the man falls all the way through.
Death is furious and yells "DO YOU KNOW HOW EXPENSIVE THAT WAS!? I HAVE TO GO ALL THE WAY BACK TO EARTH NOW TO GET A NEW ONE". The man sheepishly apologises.
Death asks the man to stand up, and they begin their journey to the afterlife. As they arrive, Death says to the man "GO INSIDE, THEY WILL TELL YOU WHAT TO DO FROM HERE". He obliges.
As he walks in, Satan says to the man "Welcome to Hell"
"Hell!?" the man splutters. "But I was told I was going to heaven, there must have been some kind of mistake!“
"Unfortunately that is not the case. You see, in life, you were a good man, however in death, you have behaved recklessly and with no consideration for the reaper cushions."
I agree, and I tell them if they ask during the process. Regardless, great social marketers pay attention to the metrics. If a particular campaign results in more unsubscribes than usual, the smart ones pick up on the telemetry and make changes.
They definitely pay attention to what causes unsubscribing, and the timing of it. I am sure you weren't alone yesterday, and I bet they noticed. Whether they change anything is a different story.
Two years ago I deleted my account from a big company that supplies Alaska fresh fish. It’s very hard to get good fish in Florida unless you go catch it yourself. Which I cannot do.
I sent an email listing exactly the reasons I deleted my account. They waited until the last day of June to proclaim their support for pride garbage. So I let them know they should’ve kept their mouth shut one day longer. I got a reply about how they want to support all their customers. I said that’s too bad you chose that cause. I’m out!
I have since ordered again almost 2 years later. Waiting to see if they changed their decision to run their mouth. If they haven’t learned I’ll delete for good - and let them know exactly why.
Check out Aaron Young on Key West Waterman channel on YouTube, and you can get fresh fish over night from his supplier. He is always talking about the place he takes his catch to on his videos.
The fish bought in Publix and the others are at least a week old, or longer.
There's a lot of places in Florida and the fish are a day or two old.
We recently took our big baby to the vet, (a very large panther-sized cat with claws that could kill a grown man, but afraid of his own shadow or any movement or sound not created by him.) The entire way there he was screeching and howling like you’ve never heard before. Twenty long minutes - nonstop. Some meows were timed by my son to last over 40 seconds. 🤣 When we got there I was all prepared to apologize for his loud mouth, but the minute we entered the exam room he was an absolute angel, quiet as a church mouse. Not a peep. Properly curious, walking around the room, opening drawers (I kid you not) and compliant with everything the doctor did, even the anal temperature. But the minute we got back in the car, twenty more minutes of howling torture. Little stinker.
I’ve had many cats in my life, and they ALL hated riding in the car. They would usually pee in the carrier too, so that was always lovely to smell. I wonder if you can train a little kitten to be a good car passenger?
Yes, my future husband and I were living together and got a kitten. A few months later he took a job two hours away and on my turns to visit him I took Bob (a girl kitty who looked like a bobcat) and she did great! She even went outside to go potty while at his house. When I moved there in the spring she went jogging with us. ❤️
I’ve been lucky. When traveling by car a lot for work, I had two male cats who travelled beautifully. The females I have now absolutely hate it. The ability to travel depends upon the cat. Some do well, others don’t.
I'm currently fostering kittens and one is a Siamese. She is most peculiar, and has beautiful sky blue eyes. I've yet to hear her make a sound other than a purr. ❤️
We love the Siamese breed because they have such great personalities. They can be like little dogs. Scooter follows us everywhere we go talking all the way. The new female doesn’t know her name yet but we discovered that she comes if you meow at her. 🤷♀️
If memory serves, Target was on the bathroom bandwagon waaaay back. It was the" tuck" swimsuits for toddlers and the Satanic clothing line more recently.
yah I did a pickup at Target four years ago because they had organic grass something or other and the trans cashier boss male female fake was the nastiest bitch to those other employees so back to the boycott that they would never notice because we haven't been Target shoppers since the 90s.
I’ve been twice, for something I needed but would have had to have gone well out of my way for otherwise. But they were small purchases. I used to spend a couple hundred a month previously since I would get some of my groceries and household supplies and toiletries there, plus clothes for my kids and some other random stuff. I know it’s a drop in the bucket compared to their overall sales but I am betting I’m not the only one.

Years ago my mother gave me a membership to the Focus on the Family newsletter. All my friends were saying how stupid it was and anti-woman. Looks like as usual, mom was right.

It’s really hard for me to believe that things are headed in the right direction. Yesterday, my daughter (who “came out” on social media last year) posted how much better life is now that she’s out. It’s one thing to come across that on my feed, but quite another to see the HUNDREDS of ‘likes’ and positive comments from her CHRISTIAN friends. My daughter and her partner love Jesus and truly believe they are enlightened, and that it’s my theology that’s outdated. Add all this to my inbox flooded with companies celebrating pride and I’m really struggling to believe we are trending in a more positive direction.🫤
For those who pray for random people on the internet, I would gratefully appreciate prayers for my daughter and our family. My heart is so heavy. Thank you.😔🙏
LB - I'm so sorry for your heavy heart! It is all around me - children I watched group up, even from strong Christian families. No repentance, no remorse. Just parents expected to "repent" of their outdated ways and accept the "new". I will be praying for your daughter and her friend (she calls partner). May the Lord deliver them from the bondage of the flesh, delusion, and sin!
Love and hugs in Christ Jesus! And better yet PRAYER lifted to the Creator God who can change hearts, deliver, and give new life!
Thank you so much for your prayers VelvetStitching. My husband and I are grateful that she desires to be in relationship with us despite our differences in opinion. We are grappling with what to do when they decide to get married and (somehow) have kids. Our prayers are continually for her and her girlfriend, and I believe change can happen. How wonderful that would be! We are hopeful in Christ, but at this moment, it feels rather dark.
I understand - I have seen this scenario played out several times with very close friends in our lives. It breaks my heart - their kids are like my own! I am praying - fervently!
And now I add a prayer request to you - I just got word my beloved brother had a stroke! Please pray for the medical team caring for him. I live 1600 miles away and care for our elderly mother. I cannot leave.
But God has him in his care. His name is Gregg. Thank you - any and all brethren who see this and PRAY! God answers and God can do the impossble things! 🙏🏼❤️
Oh my goodness! Praying now for Gregg, for wisdom and expertise in his care, and for complete healing. And for comfort and peace for you and his family.🙏💕
Our greatest tool in such cases is Inspiration. BEING the happiest healthiest most authentic versions of ourselves is the only thing that garners real results amongst confused family, friends and society.
What Jeffrey describes is, I believe, manifestations of the fruit of the spirit, shown by believers. They are a result of, not a cause of, receiving God's free grace.
I just wanted to give you encouragement to persevere in prayer (I know you will!) for your daughter. I have two siblings who were in same sex relationships earlier in their lives, but have left the "lifestyle." My brother is now married with a child. 💗
My husband and I know there will be more conversation(s) with her in our future. We are praying for wisdom with timing and words so that our relationship with her remains intact and the lines of communication remain open.🙏
If it makes you feel any better, the Torah makes it clear that a man cannot lay with a man as he does a woman, but does not say anything about 2 women.
Gender is in all things. It is more than sexuality on the physical plane. Two same sex individuals can embody the Masculine and Feminine principles of Gender. And do.
Masculine and Feminine principles are present and active in all phenomena—physical, mental, and spiritual—not just in biological organisms. These principles are universal forces involved in creation, production, and generation.
Masculine: Directive, initiatory, projective, associated with will, consciousness, and the “sending forth” of energy or ideas.
Feminine: Receptive, generative, formative; it receives the masculine impulse and actualizes it into form or reality.
Both are necessary for creation; neither is superior. Everything contains both in varying degrees and balances.
Two weeks ago, at work, ( hospital) someone anonymously left a company sponsored sign up sheet proclaiming the Spokane pride parade and asking for volunteers for various booths and responsibilities. It was prominently posted. To date, not one single person in my department has signed up.
This last Sunday was Feast of the Holy Trinity in the Catholic Church. Come, Holy Spirit, come. Now, upcoming this next Sunday is Feast of Corpus Christi (Latin for Body of Christ). After Mass, we will proceed through streets & neighborhoods behind our clergy proclaiming the real presence of Jesus in the Eucharist. This will happen in a deep blue PNW city.
The feast day is actually this Thursday, but we’ll celebrate Sunday so more can attend. This is happening all over the world with millions of Catholics. Each region celebrates w/ their own cultural flavor, and has been an annual thing since the 13th century. The loudest and most colorful processions will be in Africa, Latin America and Eastern Europe.
It also is mentioned in Holy Writ as "going before a fall".....PRAISE YAHWEH that the inglorious 'pride month' in our present day world is FALLING big time!
Connecting pride month to the deadly sin was brilliant. Also, for the proclamations, resolutions, etc to define the family by including children whether biological, adopted, fostered was equally so.
What is this I hear about throwing Graham Platner off the democrat senate ticket in Maine. This guy is the perfect democrat. Right off the bat he’s a self proclaimed Nazi and a Communist, there’s two huge boxes checked off. He’s a womanizer that says women liked to be raped. He hates soldiers and the military, two more huge boxes checked. He’s a pervert that frequents child predator web sites and the icing on the cake, he says he has a fetish for masturbating in porta potties, what’s not to like? My God what more could democrats want? This man should be the democrat nominee for president!!!! He’s a democrat “rising” star.
They love this guy, endorsed by Bernie Sanders. Elizabeth Warren said “Grahams my kind of man”. What’s the problem? I’m sure Graham and his wife are just “itching” to get at congresses sexual harassment slush fund.
Platner’s got a better resume than Gavin Newsom. Why even with Gavin’s draining of the reservoirs and the fires, the massive taxes hikes, socialism, homeless problems, driving billion dollar businesses and residents out of the state, even with all those great great democrat resume enhancing policies, I think Platners got him!
What do you think?
2028 Democrat Nominee for President “GRAHAM PLATNER”, YAY!!!
Yes James, mental illness promotes the mentally unstable. It’s the backbone of the left. Dysfunction creates dysfunction. The democrats single parent power over family.
The rainbow was stolen from the children and the hippies and turned from a spectacular display of sun and water in the sky to the logo of perverts. Reclaim the rainbow!!
I used to have a 1963, and a 1975 VW Beetle and of course you had to get a little rainbow in the back window. It was a different time, and I was pissed when They highjacked the rainbow.
The enemy doesn't have an original idea of its own.
Maybe Lying, seeing its the father of all lies.
I will always enjoy the rainbow and remember God's Promise.
Personally, I think gender neutral bathrooms are fine...just as long as there is only one toilet, a sink and a lock on the door. And if corporations like Target want to install multiple restrooms to accommodate use by one person at a time (either sex, of course), why that's just fine with me!
...I have to relate a story from 1995 at the Oakland coliseum for a Raiders-Steelers game. I'm in the men's room which was a mess like I have never seen (pre kick-off) and a group of hells angels comes in with their girls. Waiting for a stall I ask them why would you bring your women into this cesspool? One of them said 'Would you like to see the inside of the womens bathroom?" His girl said "It's twice as bad as this is!"
Oh I am with you!!! I prefer single person BUT don’t label them for gender neutral crap. Just call them a bathroom. 🤦🏼♀️ I dislike the use of their agenda words to describe what any person can use.
I agree, Sunny...I would anticipate that "prideful" corporate and governmental entities would surrender to economic forces when instead of two bathrooms, they are forced to install multiple bathrooms to accommodate single person usage.
Has anyone else noticed that the slow death of DEI and Pride happened after the dissolution of USAID? The money for the circus came from somewhere and now that money has dried up.
Next: let's erase Juneteenth from the calendar.
I was at my local Target yesterday and there were NO ads, clothes, signs mentioning pride or rainbows. It was terrific to see. What I did see were clothes and sweaters for the whole family with USA and our flag on them.
I fear another Brandon type presidency will just as quickly reverse the trend. We better be vigilant during the next elections to keep things red
Right on. We are merely at an Intermission. The second act will be much more aggressive
and I cannot wait to see Marco or JD deposit this blooming mushroom cloud onto the heads of liberals around the world, not just in the USA.
Yesterday, I heard that some African Countries have signed minerals contracts with the USA in exchange for receiving some of the USAID aid they used to get for free! Go Trump! Now that ties in perfectly with America First negotiation style, though it really means that the USA is done being the piggy bank of choice for Turd World Dictators!
As expected, some African Countries are upset that the "Colonialist America wants to get something in exchange for handing money to their Dictators. Lol Globalist Welfare recipients. So predictably pedantic!
Actually, the second act for these types is always to re-brand the last act. So, They re-grouped and used their Act-Blue, NSAID, NGO money, and redistributed it to create ICE Protests. Which also meant minimal funds for their usual in your face, sexual shenanigan celebrations!
Agree. We are not even close to hearing the fat lady sing
The importance of this can’t be overstated… PLEASE VOTE because your freedom depends on it! We can’t give our country to socialist marxists!
Someone needs to inform Tucker Carleson. He has tremendous reach and is inspiring anti-trump sentiment in the independent crowd (i used to be one) so i am worried
Yay! Good to know. We moved out of the city over 5 years ago, so haven’t been to a Target in many years. It used to be a favorite store, and then they changed the whole look and feel of it, even before the “pride” thing.
I promised myself I would never cross the threshold of a Target Store again and I’m sticking to that promise. They have nothing I can’t find elsewhere. I stay clear of Bud Lite, too😏
Exactly! Fool me once! They were my go to store when the kids were young. I used to joke that we should own stock because between housewares, clothing and school supplies, birthday and Christmas gifts, we had dropped a small fortune at Target!
We didn't leave Target, Target left us! Thankfully, we have outgrown our spending heavy spending years!
I was elated to see it.
wow what's up with Target- and now even an ad that features a non mixed race - oh the horrors
Yes! That family was so white that I needed to grab my sun glasses just to view it. Lol
LOL, indeed!
Good to know, but I will probably never step foot in one again.
Right on MM! They'll never get another dime of my money. I don't forget and I don't forgive. And that goes for all the rest of them.
Best to you and yours.
Later Jay
I feel the same way Jay. I did not buy anything while I was there. Was just snooping around to see if they were being woke or not. I was pleasantly surprised though.
I did not buy anything. Just went in to see what my local store was doing for pride month. I was almost tempted to buy a summer sweater with the flag on it and USA but did not. Stand your ground MaryAnn.
me too!
I will never go back to Target. They are on our my " xxxx list". Got two of those. One is with my financial advisor; Target listed with Disney as NOT investable for me.
Sadly, during the WOKE JOKE years, most anyone with mutual funds, CD's and other retirement/pension accounts were investing in all of the above and more! The BIG Investment firms, Blackrock State street and Van Guard were quietly using our money to further the DEI takeover of our Government institutions and the Businesses that we were boycotting!
Years ago Target announced in our area they would not allow Salvation Army bell ringers in front of their stores. I have not and will not frequent them ever!
Wouldn't you know,,, the one Charity that has the lowest overhead and true altruism, is the one they cancel! My guess is that the Salvation Army would not allow itself to be Grifted by the Mob!
I have boycotted Target since they introduced female swimsuits with a fly. Hopefully, that item is deep sixed.
Same thing here--no sign of pride garbage in my local Target, and I'm in California!
Yes to no Juneteenth!
I asked ChatGPT what national holiday was in June and it said that there was an Independence Day June 14th. I replied I thought America’s Independence is July 4th. It said well yes but and then went on to explain Juneteenth.
It’s evil
The Chat is only telling you what evil people program it to tell you. These AI platforms search databases very quickly to find answers to you basic question. The best way to use them is to be specific about your question and yo always pushback on the answer when you know it to be false. The bot will eventually concede that you are correct and look for less biased information or facts.
But what do we do about the Treasury Secretary who claims to be married to another man and is raising adopted children? This seems like an endorsement of PRIDE by our current administration. I'm serious. How do we navigate the waters of hypocrisy that our "blind eye" approach to the matter has left all of us who support this president. He didn't have to select Bessent or Grinnell knowing the biblical stance on homosexuality and he surely would have been advised against it by Christian men close to him yet he did it anyway and then recently boasted about how he garnered a large portion of the gay vote in 2024.
Neither of those two men shove it down our throats or expect us to use pronouns, share their views or in any way participate in their beliefs. They both excell in their jobs. They are the gays that I do not worry about. They hurt no one else with their life choices.
Let the Lord attend to their souls.
One might argue that they "shove it down our throats," by taking the step of "marrying" another man when marriage is between xx and xy chromosome people and since the term marriage implies sexual relations, then exalting anyone who flaunts their sin, (the Bible clearly calls homosexuality that in multiple texts), by giving them national prominence, perhaps even signing our currency, is sending the wrong message to our kids that as long as you're good at something, it doesn't matter the lifestyle you choose. Would Trump have endorsed Hegseth if Pete had proclaimed he was an adulterer, would continue to philander and furthermore, sees nothing wrong with it? Of course not, but that's what's been done with Bessent when you think about it.
One might argue...but would lose that argument.
I never even knew Bessent was gay until now. So clearly, it is not being shoved down our throats.
I had no clue that Bessent is homosexual until I found out from M. Patrick McCrary mere moments ago.
And because you didn't know, you're pretty sure others don't and that it will never be discovered by the masses which may cause an even greater spiritual crisis among our youth when they see his name on currency and having achieved such heights in wealth and fame during his time as Trump's Treasury Secretary, so why not go in that direction themselves if the conservative's choice for president thinks it is ok by virtue of his naming him to such a prominent post?
The Bible also clearly calls masturbation a sin. Let he who has never sinned cast the first stone.
We've all sinned but we're called to struggle against sinning in the future not to throw up our hands and say, "Oh well, it's too hard to resist so I'll just give up trying." And you must be referring to Obed who spilled his semen on the ground rather than impregnate his wife. Other than that story which I have no reason to doubt is true, it is the sin of lust that is at the root of all sexual experiences outside the bonds of marriage between man and a woman therefore when we lust, we must confess it before God, ask forgiveness and then repent which means we resolve to turn away from our sin but if we fail again, we are not to stay there and wallow in our sin no matter what it might be-theft, murder, gossip, drunkeness, etcs.
I think the Lord has enough grace, mercy and patience to go around to all. Remember, the rain falls on the just and the unjust. I can't judge the level of one sin over another, but I know Jesus covered all sins for those that believe in him. If any is without sin, let him cast the first stone. We don't know the relationship between others and the Lord so let us not be the judge. Dr. Bessent is extremely talented and seems to love helping to make America great again. Would you rather have someone straight and corrupt? Didn't Jesus say that the greatest one of the commandments was to love one another. We can pray also for those who we feel need prayer and also lift them up. I do love the saying that if you point a finger at someone, you still have 3 pointing back at yourself.
Do you remember what Jesus said to the woman after He said to the crowd, "He that is without sin cast the first stone?" He told the adulterous woman to "Go and sin no more." He forgave her but called her to leave her sin behind. Someone who claims to be married to another man is obviously not leaving his sin behind. We're all called to struggle against sin not give in to it and eventually have our hearts hardened to it to the extent we no longer even see it as sin.
Yes, thank you.
How does one argue that marriage shoves anything down anyone's throat?
From the beginning of the “gay marriage” debate I thought we should just call it something else, like civil unions. The homosexuals who wanted to “marry” really just wanted some of the same household rights married people enjoy, like hospital visitation and inheritance without the hassles. I’m not very comfortable with the right to adopt children, but am fine with the rest of it, and calling it a “civil union” would have given them rights without forcing Christians to compromise on the sacred institution of marriage that was actually invented by God. But at the time, the gay community insisted on full endorsement.
As a side note, I would have been in favor of ALL marriages being redefined as civil unions for the purposes of government rights and responsibilities, and we Christians could have kept the term marriage for all the religious implications. In other words, give it back to God and the church. Why let the government issue “marriage licenses” anyway? It doesn’t belong to the government.
I don't think that civil unions give the same rights. Marriage, according to the state, is a contract that affords certain rights, as well as responsibilities. It's part of property law, as everyone knows who ever watched a bitter divorce, complete with who gets the house and who gets the kids.
My co-worker lived with his partner for over 40 years. When his partner got sick, he asked for EIB time to take care of him, but the employer, a hospital, refused to give it to him. They also didn't give him medical benefits. But guess who the hospital came after when it was time to pay the hospital bill? They knew darn well who was the employed one in the family.
I thought that was wrong, so I supported gay marriage. Like you say, it has nothing to do with religion. People can get married in any church they want, but the contract law doesn't kick in until the government is involved, like it or not. I am also fine with calling all of it civil unions.
Mrs. RW
Christianity did not invent marriage, nor does it have a monopoly on it.
Christianity did not invent marriage. God did.
What's more, nuclear families have not been around since time immemorial either.
Humans lived in tribes and extended families longer than we've done this version of coupling.
Mrs. RW
Well, Mrs W, you can make many points that way pointing to history. For example, humans in tribes in America practiced both prolonged torture-till-death techniques and cannibalism. These facts don't make for a better society. If you follow Christian principles you understand they champion the husband being male(only) and the wife subject to him and supporting his plans while earlier in the bible it quite blatantly calls out queers as an "abomination", which their practice of sex in the rear truly IS.
All Abrahamic religions champion the nuclear family and, in fact, ancient Israel as evident in the OT, championed it making it, in fact,
"from time immemorial".
From my perspective anyone anywhere is FREE to do what they like in private. Just don't dump beliefs of perversion on ME or my family or try to screw up a society and civilization paid for by the lives of millions of my fellow citizens over the last 250 years by parroting your queer story in public. This country was bought dearly once, saved from dissolution in 1869, and was founded by men with CHRISTIAN morals that never did include the abomination of queer culture.
Don't tread on me and the founding fathers of America.
Just saying.
Totally agree.
Does this speak to President Trump chosing the bedt person for the job? He doesn't discriminate, nor does he "check the box" to hire specific characteristics, rather than qualifications.
Absolutely. Merit is 47s FIRST requirement.
Gay people exist and have for millenia, probably always. I do not want the lifestyle mainstreamed, (which arguably was and is the goal of religious texts) but I do not want those people demonized either. I personally find it off-putting but that's how I know I am heterosexual.
While I agree philosophically with your position, i have to also agree with other posters that our national laws do not discriminate for folks' personal shortfalls in offices, and allow for arrangements of single sex "marriages" (whether we likecit or not; would have preferred civil unions if any allowance). We have a national history of flawed men in office, generally they kept their flaws to themselves and executed their offices well. Bessent and others in Trump's administration seem like that. And are a positive contrast with Biden's cross dressing appointees! They were in our faces, and perfored awfully in their offices!
If Trump didn't know Bessent was a proud homosexual then I would agree but that is highly unlikely. Try to substitute another sin in place of the practice of homsexuality. Suppose Bessent admitted that he was a cleptomaniac and didn''t intend to give up his practice of stealing, would Trump have nominated him? Of course, if Bessent didn't admit to his larcenous bent, Trump would not be held responsible.
Look at who Jesus chose for his twelve apostles...
They are a nuclear family by all accounts and definition. 2 parents and naturalized, fostered or adopted children.
Except I did think the definition specified a husband and wife and their children?
Spouses. Those in a committed relationship.
"The nuclear family, consisting of one husband, one wife, and any biological, adopted, or fostered children"
Personally, I object to putting a Soros henchmen in charge of the Treasury Dept.
There are very few people as corrupt and evil as Soros, and Bessent was part of the operation to short the British pound back in 1992. That didn't go well for the Brits.
The seven sins cover Soros more than homosexuality. Pride. Greed, Lust, Envy, Gluttony, Wrath, and Sloth.
The first five warn against the very sins personified by Soros and other financial manipulators.
Mrs. RW
I also was concerned about this connection. But, I have seen no actions on the part of Bessent to do damage. So far, he seems to be excellent at his job, and that is all we may require of him as a public servant, and is very witty besides. Meritocracy. What he does in his off time is his own business.
Agree with you 100% on Soros. I really don't understand why he has not been prosecuted for treason (and all manner of bad deeds) and had citizenship stripped. Now, his mealy mouthed little lily of a son has taken over and he even married 50 yr old Huma Abiden -gross on it's own -( bet he had to marry to 'prove' he's straight.).
Just for fun "Soros Definition -an urn or receptacle for keeping the bones of the dead"
I saw Bessent bragging about stealing a billion dollars from Iranians the other day.
I count that as two sins.
And yeah, the combo of Soros and Abiden is a match made in hell.
Mrs. RW
Saying the current admin endorses Pride by the appointment of our Treasury Secretary is like saying heterosexual orgies are being endorsed by the appointment of any straight officials.
It boggles the mind when you think about how much public money is being siphoned off, misdirected, misappropriated, laundered, and outright stolen. I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say that if it weren’t for the fraud, waste, and corruption, we wouldn’t be $30T in debt. We need to bring back DOGE full force at the national level, and at the state, and municipal levels. In conjunction with that, we need to create mechanisms to stop spending money (much of which we don’t have) for anything but very limited government.
Stop the spending; fix the elections.
Adding to the waste and corruption that's created the national debt would be all the wars and conflicts we've financed and been drawn into. Somewhere out there are a lot of people who owe that money back to the tax payers.
Well as Trump knows the playbook of the City of London. We've been there strong arm many years. The endless war is a racket, is finished?
I want all Government Grants to stop! Until each case can be properly vetted and evaluated, assigned to an auditing arm, much like we assign children and elderly to Social Workers for monitoring.
Not that I think Social Workers are the answer, but a computer tracking system that follows the money and verifies the intended usage, and records progress/failure of the Grantee, would be a step toward eliminating fraudsters. The PTA's Safe Routes to School program asking for a Grant for a bicycle path, separated from a commuter route with multiple ingress and egress points, is a good use of Grant money and not where the GRIFT is happening.
I DID notice that my updated calendar in Google does now prominently display all Muslim holidays.
Apple’s done that for years. These dates are imbedded & can’t be deleted as far as I can tell. Very annoying.
I turned off all holidays. Fortunately I’m capable of putting in the American holidays all by myself and if I can do it so can you!
So simple! Thanks- I’m an over thinker.
Dena, I agree, I hate seeing those Muslim (and other false religions) holidays on my phone. Somebody needs to make a way to delete them.
It should be a drop down menu of holidays you wish to see or not see.
Exactly!
I'm old school 🤣 I use a paper calendar I buy from Walmart. No muslim holidays or celebrations. Jewish, US, UK, Aust, NZ, Kwanzaa, but no muslim.
Apple’s recent update wanted to include iridescent pride wallpaper!
🤮
I wonder if Google in the mideast countries displays Christian holidays.
You know it does not.
It's either being more accurate or it's continuing to manipulate society. Does it cover Buddhist & Hindu holidays too? If not it's just more manipulation, Google is good at that.
You can select those if you want in the calendar settings.
I choose the Christian holidays, but Gaggle still lists the Juneteenth thing. Tried deleting it, but they don't give you Free Will.
Google is one of the digital masters and manipulation is what they do.
I changed my settings so my calendar doesn't show that stuff.
How? I would love to change my settings to not show Muslim holidays.
On my Android phone I went to settings on my calendar and I saw holiday and I went there and set it to Religious and Christian holidays. So far no Muslim stuff 👍
Godspeed
If you click on the holiday, select the three dots in upper right you have the option to hide or delete that holiday.
I don’t have that option on my iPhone
You are correct. Isn't it weird that they have an Apple with a Bite on it. 😏
Thank you, but iPhone has no option. Just US Holidays with no options.
Correct, Apple doesn't allow you to change it.
But it is an Apple with a Bite taken out. 😏
GAG to all of it.
Here is an important deep dive into how DEI was rammed into all of these corporations even when it meant they would crash as a result:
DEI = DIE: Why All These Brands (AB Inbev, Target, North Face Et Al.) Are Committing Suicide: https://tritorch.substack.com/p/dei-die-why-all-these-brands-ab-inbev
As with most things it has to do with the root of all evil—company financing is controlled by the WEF, and they required these companies commit DEI CEI and ESG suicide or they would withold it. Now the kids are ruined. Satan laughing, spreads his wings.
YES!
Juneteenth also happens to fall on my 50th anniversary.
shouldn't it be on every anniversary? I any case, HAPPY ANNIVERSARY
😔
Here here!
Yes! I believe Idaho did.
Yep, we've been funding that nonsense unknowingly.
Nobody has a clue what Juneteenth is really about. A good friend who's a US history major never heard of it until a few years ago.
Or just ignore it.
YES!!!

But the man from whom the demons had gone out was begging Him that he might accompany Him. But He sent him away, saying, “Return to your house and recount what great things God has done for you.” So he went away, proclaiming throughout the whole city what great things Jesus had done for him.
— Luke 8:38-39 LSB

That’s our charge. That’s our instructions for what we are supposed to do with our life. While some of us are called to drop everything, leave our homes, and follow God to who knows where, most of us are to follow God right back into our own homes and share His Good News from there.
The question is will America repent from transgressing against Biblical Law and once again explicitly uphold God's Law for culture AND government?
I think this is why the Father is giving us a second chance.
HIS people repented.
But we must ever be on guard against returning to our apathy.
"...Gay marriage rights were supposed to once and for all satisfy gay people’s civil rights concerns."
Here's the problem. "Civil rights" are by definition "rights" that are given by the State which can be changed or revoked by the State. This effectively makes all men slaves of the Government. Our founders recognized this and declared America will be a land of TRUE liberty. As enunciated in the Declaration of Independence, America was founded upon the principle of "unalienable rights given by God". In other words, there is a higher law that civil government is to be held accountable to that define the unalienable rights of all men. Biblical law is thus a restriction on the power of the State.
The USG has long ago abandoned any concept of unalienable rights as defined by God's Word. From the SCOTUS on down, "rights" are only those rights granted by the government which can be changed or cancelled depending on the policies being pursued by the government. We saw the results of this over the last six years when churches were closed, the economy shut down and a bio-weapon sold as a "vaccine" was forced upon all of America.
There is no true repentance until the nation, once again, affirms that our rights as men are "unalienable rights granted by God". "Gay marriage rights" are NOT a right under Biblical law.
Bravo Politico Phil. You are correct to point out that rights given to people by the government are not the full rights mentioned in the Declaration of Independence. We must be ever vigilant to ensure that our God given rights are not violated by the government in its pursuit of control over the public.
I hope so Phil.
Heaven has been warning Us that the final battle will be on Marriage's and Families.
Protect Your Family 🙏🙏
Bingo Juju! Happy Nuclear Family Month! Booyah!

I just read Jeff's post. Speaking of demons . . . may Jesus drive out the demons from all those who are possessed by lust and pride.
Amen
Amen, Janice.
You still talking about Epstein?
"Woe, woe, how terrible is this place. And those men said to me: This place O Enoch, is prepared for those who dishonor our God, who on earth practice sin against nature, which is child- corruption after the sodomitic fashion, magic making, enchantments and devilish witchcraft, and who boast if their wicked deeds, stealing, lies, calumnies, envy, rancor, fornication, murder, and who, accursed, steal the souls of men, who, seeing the poor take away their goods and themselves was rich, injuring them for other men's goods, who being able to satisfy the empty, made the hungering to die being able to clothe, stripped the naked and who knew not their creator, and bowed to the soulless (and lifeless) gods, who cannot see, nor hear, vain gods, (who also built) hewn images and bow down to unclean handiwork, for all these is prepared this place among these, for eternal inheritance.

You just described the Democrat party who removed God from their platform years ago.
And the Liberal party of Canada who also removed God from their platform and are trying to remove it from our Nation by use of laws to punish us for speaking of our faith in God.
You still think that there are two parties?
"In short, we must not be distracted by myriad marginal issues and false dichotomies like left vs. right, liberals vs. conservatives and so forth. The ultimate culprits, the super-predator threatening humanity are the high-level bankers: a handful of families and individuals who control and manage the present monetary system.

"Two parties" is a deception giving the people a false belief that they "have a choice." There is no choice. There is only the uniparty. Rep/Dem or Biden/Trump - simply different flavors of the same control mechanism.
God’s rainbow covenant:
“Then God spoke to Noah and to his sons with him, saying, “Now behold, I Myself do establish My covenant with you, and with your descendants after you; and with every living creature that is with you, the birds, the cattle, and every beast of the earth with you; of all that comes out of the ark, even every beast of the earth. I establish My covenant with you; and all flesh shall never again be cut off by the water of the flood, neither shall there again be a flood to destroy the earth.”
God said, “This is the sign of the covenant which I am making between Me and you and every living creature that is with you, for all successive generations; I set My bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a sign of a covenant between Me and the earth. It shall come about, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow will be seen in the cloud, and I will remember My covenant, which is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and never again shall the water become a flood to destroy all flesh. When the bow is in the cloud, then I will look upon it, to remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.”
And God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant which I have established between Me and all flesh that is on the earth.””

Cinderella is a castaway. Her ship broke and she washed up on a barren, rocky island in the middle of the sea.
There's nothing helpful on the island, not trees or animals or even grass. Cinderella starts to cry. "Oh, what will I do?"
Then POOF! Her Fairy Godmother appears.
"Oh thank my lucky stars!" Exclaims Cinderella. "Fairy Godmother, I need your help again! Please get me off this desert island and back safely to land!"
"Oh, deary me!" Says the Fairy Godmother. "Unfortunately, my magic can only turn things into other things. I could make one of these rocks into a ship to sail you home, and some other rocks into sailors, but it would be a journey of many weeks, and they'd all turn back into rocks at the stroke of midnight and you'd drown! I think I will have to fly across the ocean myself and try to convince a ship to sail out to rescue you! But it will take days, or possibly weeks, and you might starve in the meantime. So here is what I will do. I will give you some of my magic."
Zippity zoop! The Fairy Godmother waves her wand at Cinderella.
"There. Now, all you need to do is point at something and say a type of food, and that thing will turn into that food and so you will be able to stay fed and healthy until I can return."
"Oh, thank you, Fairy Godmother!" Cinderella says. "Let me try it out right now!" She points at a nearby rock. "You are a roast turkey."
POOF! The rock turns into a perfectly cooked roast turkey, smelling delicious. Delighted, Cinderella points at a seashell. "You're a milkshake!"
POOF! The seashell turns into a milkshake.
"Oh wow!" Cinderella says, "This is wonderful. Thank you so much, Fairy Godmother,

A man has died and is waiting to be transported to the next stage
He wonders aloud to Death about what happens next. Death replies "YOU WERE A GOOD FELLOW ON EARTH , YOU WILL GO TO HEAVEN , WHERE YOU WILL ENJOY ETERNAL YOUTH , YOU CAN DO BASICALLY ANYTHING YOU WANT , ANYTHING YOUR HEART DESIRES ".
The man thinks that's pretty wonderful, and settles in for the journey.
Death announces that he has to go and speak to St Peter and do the paperwork, so the man is left alone for a while in Death's office.
He thinks to himself about what he wants to do when he gets there, he could eat all of the delicious foods he never got to try on earth, he could drive the best sports cars he could imagine, he could even be a care-free child again.
He lingers on that final thought for a moment, it's so appealing to him to be able to run around, play, be silly, and do everything for the first time again with nobody judging him. He gets excited, and stands up.
Death returns into the office, just in time to see the man bouncing on the sofa. He asks "WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?" to which the man replies "I'm having the time of my life, or should I say time of my death?" Just as he finishes speaking, the sofa tears open, and the man falls all the way through.
Death is furious and yells "DO YOU KNOW HOW EXPENSIVE THAT WAS!? I HAVE TO GO ALL THE WAY BACK TO EARTH NOW TO GET A NEW ONE". The man sheepishly apologises.
Death asks the man to stand up, and they begin their journey to the afterlife. As they arrive, Death says to the man "GO INSIDE, THEY WILL TELL YOU WHAT TO DO FROM HERE". He obliges.
As he walks in, Satan says to the man "Welcome to Hell"
"Hell!?" the man splutters. "But I was told I was going to heaven, there must have been some kind of mistake!“
"Unfortunately that is not the case. You see, in life, you were a good man, however in death, you have behaved recklessly and with no consideration for the reaper cushions."
Very funny, thanks!!!
I liked the Windows joke. A few years ago, that would have been me. 😁

Welcome back TriTorch! I really missed your wonderful jokes!
I received a pride month email from Colectivo coffee yesterday. I immediately unsubscribed. I wonder if they notice stuff like that?
Only if you hit the unsubscribe button very forcefully. 😉
I clicked it proudly, as a matter of fact!
I'll allow it.
We are so ‘PROUD’ of you!!
Here’s an old one.
“I’m so proud to be so humble”
And another:
“If conceit were consumption, I’d be consumed,
But conceit’s a fault and I’m perfect.”
🤣
Only if you call and tell them why, which I do often. Even then it may not matter, but the more of us that do that the more it does.
I agree, and I tell them if they ask during the process. Regardless, great social marketers pay attention to the metrics. If a particular campaign results in more unsubscribes than usual, the smart ones pick up on the telemetry and make changes.
They definitely pay attention to what causes unsubscribing, and the timing of it. I am sure you weren't alone yesterday, and I bet they noticed. Whether they change anything is a different story.
Good point
Seriously, search your inbox for email with the word "Pride" and unsubscribe en-mass. We can make an impact!
Yes I’ve done that in the past. And complained directly especially when the marketing targets children.
Two years ago I deleted my account from a big company that supplies Alaska fresh fish. It’s very hard to get good fish in Florida unless you go catch it yourself. Which I cannot do.
I sent an email listing exactly the reasons I deleted my account. They waited until the last day of June to proclaim their support for pride garbage. So I let them know they should’ve kept their mouth shut one day longer. I got a reply about how they want to support all their customers. I said that’s too bad you chose that cause. I’m out!
I have since ordered again almost 2 years later. Waiting to see if they changed their decision to run their mouth. If they haven’t learned I’ll delete for good - and let them know exactly why.
Check out Aaron Young on Key West Waterman channel on YouTube, and you can get fresh fish over night from his supplier. He is always talking about the place he takes his catch to on his videos.
The fish bought in Publix and the others are at least a week old, or longer.
There's a lot of places in Florida and the fish are a day or two old.
Godspeed
Great news!!! Thank you. I will check him out. 🙌
I subscribed and sent an email as I don’t see where to order fish.
SunnyD you might try this one https://www.tannersfish.com/
They want to support all of their customers by only supporting a select group of them? 🙄 They never make any sense 🙄
🎯 I never heard them support any other customers that way 🙄
Right??
Try Sitka Seafood Market. Amazing fish, caught by small-boat fishermen mostly in Alaska, and I've never seen them do anything DEI-ish.
I will check them out. Thank you! What I get through Wild Alaska is flash frozen off the boat and the quality has been great. The family is local
Alaskans so I want to support that too. Just not willing to support the agenda. It’s too bad. But thanks for another option!
Some unsubscribed want to know why. Tell them.
Good morning C&C! Please pray for safe travels as we drive from N MN to MT with 2 cats and a dog. And the cats are singing. 😉 God bless you all.
Why can I hear this? Evidence that we own two cats. 🤣
That made me laugh Juju! They are Siamese too which means they are real talkers. My husband meows back at them which gets them going.
We recently took our big baby to the vet, (a very large panther-sized cat with claws that could kill a grown man, but afraid of his own shadow or any movement or sound not created by him.) The entire way there he was screeching and howling like you’ve never heard before. Twenty long minutes - nonstop. Some meows were timed by my son to last over 40 seconds. 🤣 When we got there I was all prepared to apologize for his loud mouth, but the minute we entered the exam room he was an absolute angel, quiet as a church mouse. Not a peep. Properly curious, walking around the room, opening drawers (I kid you not) and compliant with everything the doctor did, even the anal temperature. But the minute we got back in the car, twenty more minutes of howling torture. Little stinker.
I’ve had many cats in my life, and they ALL hated riding in the car. They would usually pee in the carrier too, so that was always lovely to smell. I wonder if you can train a little kitten to be a good car passenger?
Yes, my future husband and I were living together and got a kitten. A few months later he took a job two hours away and on my turns to visit him I took Bob (a girl kitty who looked like a bobcat) and she did great! She even went outside to go potty while at his house. When I moved there in the spring she went jogging with us. ❤️
A job two hours away is a very long time for a kitten.
You can! I accidentally did this when I picked up a kitten in CA and drove her seven hours to AZ. She is now 7 and a model passenger.
I’ve been lucky. When traveling by car a lot for work, I had two male cats who travelled beautifully. The females I have now absolutely hate it. The ability to travel depends upon the cat. Some do well, others don’t.
I believe those large paws are called 'murder mittens'. 😊❤️
I'm currently fostering kittens and one is a Siamese. She is most peculiar, and has beautiful sky blue eyes. I've yet to hear her make a sound other than a purr. ❤️
We love the Siamese breed because they have such great personalities. They can be like little dogs. Scooter follows us everywhere we go talking all the way. The new female doesn’t know her name yet but we discovered that she comes if you meow at her. 🤷♀️
Funny that. And who knows what you say in 'meow' language.
Maybe it’s something like food because she comes running. 😂😂
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Praying!! Safe travels for you all 🙏🙏🙏

—“peaking in 2023 with its spectacularly suicidal attempt to gender-neutralize its bathrooms,”
That wasn’t the worst part—for me, the reason I stopped going there was because of the trans and pride stuff made for *children* 😡
If memory serves, Target was on the bathroom bandwagon waaaay back. It was the" tuck" swimsuits for toddlers and the Satanic clothing line more recently.
yah I did a pickup at Target four years ago because they had organic grass something or other and the trans cashier boss male female fake was the nastiest bitch to those other employees so back to the boycott that they would never notice because we haven't been Target shoppers since the 90s.
Can’t be fired I guess. And knew it!
Yes, that’s my recollection as well.
Yup - that was the last time I’ve ever stepped into a Target….
Same
I’ve been twice, for something I needed but would have had to have gone well out of my way for otherwise. But they were small purchases. I used to spend a couple hundred a month previously since I would get some of my groceries and household supplies and toiletries there, plus clothes for my kids and some other random stuff. I know it’s a drop in the bucket compared to their overall sales but I am betting I’m not the only one.
Exactly! Me too.
I stopped years ago when they let men use the ladies changing rooms.
That seat belt analogy was a powerful statement. It is funny how we were told any option is ok but reality says it is not! Fabulous illustration of the absurdity by the airlines!!
Years ago my mother gave me a membership to the Focus on the Family newsletter. All my friends were saying how stupid it was and anti-woman. Looks like as usual, mom was right. I’m so glad I had children and now grandchildren. My friends who chose not to have children really missed out on the best things in life. The FAMILY is the foundation of all civilization.
I was listening to Dr Dobson back in the late 70s, and he is a National Treasure.
And they had their headquarters attacked by a guy who was encouraged,or hired by the SPLC. Go figure 😏
I bought and read so, so many of Dr James Dobson’s books as a young Mom. Listening to his talks was always a blessing as well. He passed fairly recently & went home to his Savior. So thankful for godly men (& women), I afraid to stand for the Lord and truth! 🙏🙏🙏
Many years ago I was working in Orlando and my primary care doctor was Dr John Hartman and his partner in the practice was Dr Walt Larimore, sp?
Dr Walt Larimore went to Focus on the Family to be the Medical Director in the mid 90s.
Both were wonderful health care providers.
Dr Dobson and Mike Trout were a gift back in the day.
Agree on all points!
It’s really hard for me to believe that things are headed in the right direction. Yesterday, my daughter (who “came out” on social media last year) posted how much better life is now that she’s out. It’s one thing to come across that on my feed, but quite another to see the HUNDREDS of ‘likes’ and positive comments from her CHRISTIAN friends. My daughter and her partner love Jesus and truly believe they are enlightened, and that it’s my theology that’s outdated. Add all this to my inbox flooded with companies celebrating pride and I’m really struggling to believe we are trending in a more positive direction.🫤
For those who pray for random people on the internet, I would gratefully appreciate prayers for my daughter and our family. My heart is so heavy. Thank you.😔🙏
LB - I'm so sorry for your heavy heart! It is all around me - children I watched group up, even from strong Christian families. No repentance, no remorse. Just parents expected to "repent" of their outdated ways and accept the "new". I will be praying for your daughter and her friend (she calls partner). May the Lord deliver them from the bondage of the flesh, delusion, and sin!
Love and hugs in Christ Jesus! And better yet PRAYER lifted to the Creator God who can change hearts, deliver, and give new life!
Velvet, Joining with you in prayer for LB’s daughter and friend.
Thank you Margot.🙏💕
Thank you so much for your prayers VelvetStitching. My husband and I are grateful that she desires to be in relationship with us despite our differences in opinion. We are grappling with what to do when they decide to get married and (somehow) have kids. Our prayers are continually for her and her girlfriend, and I believe change can happen. How wonderful that would be! We are hopeful in Christ, but at this moment, it feels rather dark.
I understand - I have seen this scenario played out several times with very close friends in our lives. It breaks my heart - their kids are like my own! I am praying - fervently!
And now I add a prayer request to you - I just got word my beloved brother had a stroke! Please pray for the medical team caring for him. I live 1600 miles away and care for our elderly mother. I cannot leave.
But God has him in his care. His name is Gregg. Thank you - any and all brethren who see this and PRAY! God answers and God can do the impossble things! 🙏🏼❤️
Oh my goodness! Praying now for Gregg, for wisdom and expertise in his care, and for complete healing. And for comfort and peace for you and his family.🙏💕
Praying for your brother’s healing and for you and your mother’s comfort. 🙏
Ditto!
Our greatest tool in such cases is Inspiration. BEING the happiest healthiest most authentic versions of ourselves is the only thing that garners real results amongst confused family, friends and society.
Our greatest tool is prayer and God Jeffrey.
What Jeffrey describes is, I believe, manifestations of the fruit of the spirit, shown by believers. They are a result of, not a cause of, receiving God's free grace.
Praying for you 🙏🙏🙏 It is definitely hard when a beloved family member is involved.
Thank you so much RL🙏💕
I just wanted to give you encouragement to persevere in prayer (I know you will!) for your daughter. I have two siblings who were in same sex relationships earlier in their lives, but have left the "lifestyle." My brother is now married with a child. 💗
Thank you for sharing this with me. Each story of changed lives fills me with hope, especially when doubts try to push their way in.🙏💕
LB, I will put your daughter and your family on my daily prayer list. Sending a hug.
me too
The Bible, its message, and our God, are the same today as they were yesterday, and will be tomorrow.
Tell that, gently but firmly, to your proud daughter.
My husband and I know there will be more conversation(s) with her in our future. We are praying for wisdom with timing and words so that our relationship with her remains intact and the lines of communication remain open.🙏
Lovingly firm: Blessings to your forthcoming efforts!
Lifting you and yours up, LB. Just sent up a word to the Saviour. 💕
Praying!
LB , you're not random, and I will add you and your family to my list.
The final attack is on Marriage's and Families.
Keep Practicing the Faith, and let Jesus speak to her heart.🙏🙏
Thank you, everyone, for your kind words and your prayers.🥹🙏💕
If it makes you feel any better, the Torah makes it clear that a man cannot lay with a man as he does a woman, but does not say anything about 2 women.
Gender is in all things. It is more than sexuality on the physical plane. Two same sex individuals can embody the Masculine and Feminine principles of Gender. And do.
Masculine and Feminine principles are present and active in all phenomena—physical, mental, and spiritual—not just in biological organisms. These principles are universal forces involved in creation, production, and generation.
Masculine: Directive, initiatory, projective, associated with will, consciousness, and the “sending forth” of energy or ideas.
Feminine: Receptive, generative, formative; it receives the masculine impulse and actualizes it into form or reality.
Both are necessary for creation; neither is superior. Everything contains both in varying degrees and balances.
Two weeks ago, at work, ( hospital) someone anonymously left a company sponsored sign up sheet proclaiming the Spokane pride parade and asking for volunteers for various booths and responsibilities. It was prominently posted. To date, not one single person in my department has signed up.
This last Sunday was Feast of the Holy Trinity in the Catholic Church. Come, Holy Spirit, come. Now, upcoming this next Sunday is Feast of Corpus Christi (Latin for Body of Christ). After Mass, we will proceed through streets & neighborhoods behind our clergy proclaiming the real presence of Jesus in the Eucharist. This will happen in a deep blue PNW city.
Yes, I’m very excited to participate in my Parish’s Feast of Corpus Christi procession.
We will be doing the same in High Springs.
Praise God 👍🙏
Wow that’s encouraging! Especially in a blue state!
The feast day is actually this Thursday, but we’ll celebrate Sunday so more can attend. This is happening all over the world with millions of Catholics. Each region celebrates w/ their own cultural flavor, and has been an annual thing since the 13th century. The loudest and most colorful processions will be in Africa, Latin America and Eastern Europe.
Anyone remember when we had The March for Jesus here in the Southern Swamp?
Seeing folks come out from the shops on University Ave was a trip. There were folks from every denomination and We were One in Spirit.
We might not agree on everything, but we can agree on about 80% of the main doctrine.
Jesus sweat Blood that We would be One.
Let's be One on the Battlefield 👍🙏

And pride is "Numero Uno" in the Official List of Seven Deadly Sins!! https://www.britannica.com/topic/seven-deadly-sins
It also is mentioned in Holy Writ as "going before a fall".....PRAISE YAHWEH that the inglorious 'pride month' in our present day world is FALLING big time!
Connecting pride month to the deadly sin was brilliant. Also, for the proclamations, resolutions, etc to define the family by including children whether biological, adopted, fostered was equally so.
Phoenix Pride, here in Phoenix, AZ filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy at the end of May. Thank God for his mercy for our nation!
Yes!! 😁 Bankrupt in terms of funding as well as morals 😛
YAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
A Perverse Endorsement For A perverse Party
What is this I hear about throwing Graham Platner off the democrat senate ticket in Maine. This guy is the perfect democrat. Right off the bat he’s a self proclaimed Nazi and a Communist, there’s two huge boxes checked off. He’s a womanizer that says women liked to be raped. He hates soldiers and the military, two more huge boxes checked. He’s a pervert that frequents child predator web sites and the icing on the cake, he says he has a fetish for masturbating in porta potties, what’s not to like? My God what more could democrats want? This man should be the democrat nominee for president!!!! He’s a democrat “rising” star.
They love this guy, endorsed by Bernie Sanders. Elizabeth Warren said “Grahams my kind of man”. What’s the problem? I’m sure Graham and his wife are just “itching” to get at congresses sexual harassment slush fund.
Platner’s got a better resume than Gavin Newsom. Why even with Gavin’s draining of the reservoirs and the fires, the massive taxes hikes, socialism, homeless problems, driving billion dollar businesses and residents out of the state, even with all those great great democrat resume enhancing policies, I think Platners got him!
What do you think?
2028 Democrat Nominee for President “GRAHAM PLATNER”, YAY!!!
I’m for Sexual Deviants.
I’m With Platner!!
Yes James, mental illness promotes the mentally unstable. It’s the backbone of the left. Dysfunction creates dysfunction. The democrats single parent power over family.
Absolutely!!!! Run him with Kameltoe Harris or Tampon Tim!!!! 2028!!!!
I was thinking Hunter Biden for VP…
Platner is beyond gross and a liar. He needs to go away permanently.
The Democrat party is now very low-testosterone. Platner presented as someone who wasn’t (someone buy that guy a comb!) and opposites attract.
Funny it won’t let me edit my comment, it only puts up delete comment in red, I wonder why??
Thanks, God.
Does this means I can love rainbows again?
Yes, we need to take the rainbow back! Firmly. Noisily and with joy, not anger.
Not to mention the perfectly wonderful word, 'gay'
I have always liked the word queer.... means odd, unusual or unlikely!
I want it back, too!
Agree!
Yes. I believe the Flintstones’ theme song featured “we’ll have a gay old time!”
I miss using it proper. But the past 20 years reprogrammed everybody to think and hear it only one way 😭
Agreed. Lovely word, nasty connotation now.
The rainbow was stolen from the children and the hippies and turned from a spectacular display of sun and water in the sky to the logo of perverts. Reclaim the rainbow!!
I used to have a 1963, and a 1975 VW Beetle and of course you had to get a little rainbow in the back window. It was a different time, and I was pissed when They highjacked the rainbow.
The enemy doesn't have an original idea of its own.
Maybe Lying, seeing its the father of all lies.
I will always enjoy the rainbow and remember God's Promise.
Wisdom 13:1-9 is good to ponder on.
Viva Cristo Rey
I had a bug with a rainbow too back in the 80’s. And my son’s nursery was Noah’s ark and rainbows! Lol how times have changed.
Personally, I think gender neutral bathrooms are fine...just as long as there is only one toilet, a sink and a lock on the door. And if corporations like Target want to install multiple restrooms to accommodate use by one person at a time (either sex, of course), why that's just fine with me!
I get it…but I hate them. Men are messy and I don’t want to share my toilet w them 🤷♀️.
I agree! I have two sons and I refuse to share a bathroom with them. 😂
@Nard- women are worse. Trust me on that one.
I disagree. That’s not been my experience but I can conceive that this may not be the case for everyone else.
...I have to relate a story from 1995 at the Oakland coliseum for a Raiders-Steelers game. I'm in the men's room which was a mess like I have never seen (pre kick-off) and a group of hells angels comes in with their girls. Waiting for a stall I ask them why would you bring your women into this cesspool? One of them said 'Would you like to see the inside of the womens bathroom?" His girl said "It's twice as bad as this is!"
...I took her word for it.
Ask any janitor which rest rooms are the nessiest, and take the longest time to clean.
Hint: It's not the men's rooms.
Same!
Nope. Give them an inch and they WILL DEMAND a mile. Nope. Nope. Nope. Use your correct bathroom. Period.
I dislike sharing a restroom at all, so I am not really bothered by the single person ones.
Oh I am with you!!! I prefer single person BUT don’t label them for gender neutral crap. Just call them a bathroom. 🤦🏼♀️ I dislike the use of their agenda words to describe what any person can use.
Yes I can agree with that part for sure!
I agree, Sunny...I would anticipate that "prideful" corporate and governmental entities would surrender to economic forces when instead of two bathrooms, they are forced to install multiple bathrooms to accommodate single person usage.
Morning!☀️
This is perfect timing as my coffee is ready!
