It's a good news roundup! Florida passes lots of commonsense bills; Colorado goes sideways; investigators closing in on Biden crime family; weird signs and wonders; SADS; DeSantis strikes back; more.
I’ve just been reading and fwdg last half hour the most sickening, frustrating and maddening news to my contact list. The past three years I’ve kept up with the deceits, media chest thumping, the wicked decisions of our govt, and the latest shell games of our AZ leadership! And yet at a potluck gathering last night a neighbor announced that she raises a glass of wine to Lester Holt every evening while listening to the news. ~~~~ Folks don’t really want to be informed, think they are staying pure….Yes, she will be shocked, likely pass out, when she faces the real news, when God moves to tip over the boiling caldron…….Maybe? there is a huge Ark going up somewhere nearby, keep looking. Watch for rain clouds! ~~~ Some years ago I was in our local market at the deli counter, waiting my turn. The guy next to me told the clerk, “Yeah, I’ll have a couple of thighs, and a neck.” Probably can’t do that on a human just yet, but they’re sure messing with as much of our humanity as they can. Hey Hosea? amen and amen
I have realized lately, with our media, our govt decisions, and mandates, what the phrase “in the days of Noah” must mean. Never paid much attention to it before. And also what a long ten years that must have been for him, hammering away while his neighbors camped out around him, making fun of his project. No rain, surely, Noah? “Come on, man!” LOL
Thank you--I went straight to the link--really appreciated his presenting the lyrics at the same point, same time. This is not music I tend to listen to, so would never have found it without your post. And, as in my comment above, this is just what I was reading today at dawn.
There are vast amounts of prophetic lyrics in today's contemporary Christian music. While I prefer the old hymns, I'd be missing much of what God is taking us through now if I wasn't listening to it. There is an app called the Joy FM (app store) that's a radio station broadcast from Sarasota, FL with stations in GA and AL now that play this music. You can download it and listen online. I have grown my faith listening. We are Messengers is one of my favorites...
These ‘people’ weren’t people, simply doing what ‘people’ do.
They were experimenting with DNA and “all flesh (including animals) was corrupted.....except Noah. And they were consuming “all flesh”.
There was even someone on the Ark whose
DNA was apparently corrupted as well, because the giants (Nephillim) were still in the land AFTER the flood. (It could have been one of the daughters-in-law).
When the apocrypha was pulled out of the Bible, it was hard to understand why God would destroy every living creature, and only one man ‘found grace in the eyes of the Lord”.......Noah.
And now we find ourselves living among those who have been experimenting on human DNA, once again.
That’s why this is so obviously demonic. The demonic world knows that their time is short, and they are in a panic to corrupt as many humans as they can, because the Father lives us, the enemy wants to hurt the Father by hurting us.
I was pointing out that even in the most abominable days, the people were acting as if all were normal and good. They were dong what is common to man. Just as they are today. They no not see the end on the horizon. Why would they? The corruption of body, mind and soul was complete outside of Noah.
I'm shaking my head YES to everything you have said in this post...and YES, YAHWEH is getting ready to tell his Son--His ONLY Son--to gather up the SHEEP from among the GOATS on humanity! EVEN SO...COME, LORD JESUS!
Oh my goodness yes! You don't know the hour when the bridegroom will come, so you'd better have your lamp wicks trimmed. And in case he's delayed, better to have a good supply of food and clean drinking water on hand. To which point, last September, after a long day of canning, I was washing up the paraphernalia when tap water slowed to a trickle??? Turns out a main a mile up the road had burst. No worries for me as I had just brought home from further north 5 gal of our well water. After that experience, and only because of it, I filled all my 5-gal carboys (from wine and beer making--a lot of them) with tap water.
Ten years? It was 100+ years! Noah was 500 years old when God called him to build the ark. (Gen 5:32) Imagine how many times he was called a conspiracy theorist! He was in the desert... building a massive boat.... with no rain in sight! Noah warned the people of God's impending wrath for 100 years! In the end, Noah, his wife, his 3 sons and their wives, 8 people were saved from the flood. Noah was 600 yrs old when God sent rain upon the earth. (Genesis 7:6)
God still requires listening to Him. He has this current situation as well. The battle belongs to the Lord.
And for those who don't believe Scripture - about 45 years ago, they "unearthed" the ARK OF NOAH on Mount Ararat in Turkey (a speaker in our church was actually a part of the archeological team that unearthed it). How exciting that discovery must have been!
I'm really enjoying the reading of the Geneva Bible by Naomi Wolf. In addition to my morning reading of the Positive Thinking Bible by Norman Vincent Peale.
I believe Jesus .... the Alpha and the Omega....is the one who will be doing the interceding. Perhaps not at this event.... but at the final one when mankind has pushed too far.
You mean, what the Holy Spirit can do there? Let's pray that mess down. God is not mocked, and He has more than a remnant in that city. Since Hosea is in the mix today, let's pray a hedge of thorns around that demonic convention. Amen?
A relative yesterday asked if we would consider moving to their more conservative part of our state. I replied that if she thinks their part of the state isn’t in jeopardy from the fast-growing tyranny, she is mistaken. They are at risk as well, if they don’t start paying attention.
She doesn’t even know who her state rep is. 🤷🏼♀️🥺
I said also that we can’t all just leave the less conservative places and expect the small holdouts to somehow be able to maintain their autonomy.
It’s really frustrating to see folks continuing to rest on their laurels.
🗨 But they would prefer not to know. Or if they do, they’d prefer not to say.[...] They fear it would deal them into a game they don’t think they’re equipped to play, let alone to win.[...] So instead of pointing those [strings attached] out, they train themselves to never care.[...] “I can’t change it, so I don’t care,” has practically become their national anthem, or the call-and-response liturgy of their imperial church.
I think many times that ignorance must truly be bliss as I see people continuing on as in the days of Noe. I thank God for wisdom and discernment. May God have mercy on them in their moment of realization 🙏
Nevertheless the there will be a need for sanctuaries. Dedicate to the Lord the four corners of your house or apartment and four corners of your property if you own it, as a sanctuary. When the time comes if it is in our lifetime, welcome those who seek sanctuary.
One of the things that keeps me semi-sane (best I can do, for now!) is to remind myself that I’m in GOOD company.
Imagine when Noah was building the ark. They’d NEVER SEEN RAIN! And I can’t even imagine telling everyone what was up with all that. “Yeah, so God is kind of ticked at you idiots but He wants to save a remnant when these big drops of water fall from the sky. It’s ok, though. We’re going to put 2 of every kind of beast (yeah, gorillas, too…) on this puppy, and a whole lot of grain and bananas & stuff, so we can populate the earth again when the drops of water finally dry up… No, I’m not crazy. No, I’m not lying. It’s the media and those people in charge of “protecting us” who are actually lying and causing y’all to sin against Gid and humanity, so, yeah…”
Tin foil hat-wearer doesn’t even begin to describe…
Our Phx paper pretty much every day in the opinion column tee-hees the Big Lie….that we who believe we were betrayed with our votes are really all nuts. They haven’t done any real journalizing in their careers, still singing same old song. I wonder what jobs will be open to them when everything is at last exposed.
Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose. Or, the more things change, the more they stay the same. Ecclesiastes 1:9 - What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun. Almighty God is not up in heaven wringing his hands. He knows the ending and the beginning. The question is, will we be prepared. America, Bless God.
I'm thankful when the Word is visible and that Jeff is good with my scripture posts. Their placement all depends on if I'm awake or snoozing when he posts. If he posts at 5:30 am, you all are on your own for that day. 😀Blessings to you-Janice
“In a hundred years, they’re going to look back at the law requiring people to use their correct gendered bathroom and wonder what the heck was going on in 2023.”
- It’s 2023 and I’m wondering what the heck is going on in 2023!! 🤡
yeah because in 100 hundred years there will be 56 different type of gender bathrooms....and they wont be able to believe that there were only 2 back in 2023, how silly of us neanderthals' !!!
I’m poised for the learning of folks in our comty to suddenly collapse over this summer…and hear of the Canadian snow birds who won’t be returning this fall. Terrifying
A guy from Florida — you might be right, however…I’m thinking the opposite. Perhaps there’ll be only “one” gender in 100 years because that’s what they’re trying to do when you peel back all the layers…erase our spirituality/reality through absurd biology.
Sayings & phrases which include “God-given” are becoming a thing of the past —
Yes. They are very specifically wanting to medicalize reproduction…. A man can just get an ‘artificial womb’ … and fertility rates will tank… and it will usher in the era of ‘designer babies’ for everyone… created in test tubes.
Roman history is quite relevant. Folks who know the history see many parallels for our current civilization. Who are the barbarian invaders who are taking over our decaying land?
Thus, my earlier reference to Marcus Aurelius and Meditations. That's where we are now. It took a few more centuries for the Roman Empire to fade into history. It's happening much quicker with the U.S.
"Who are the barbarian invaders who are taking over our decaying land?"
They're wearing floral dresses, they have beards, and they are depicted in today's Substack.
Yes, spot on as far as the barbarians. They've been infiltrating for decades and now bursting forth for all to see. At least, all who wish to see can see.
Oh, sorry, I missed the sarcasm. A common hazard of mine. 🤦♀️
True that few know anything at all about Ancient Rome. The only reason I know the little I know is... 🥁🥁🥁... homeschooling our young human, and doing so by way of timeline of history for our humanities. So grateful.
The Globalists and banksters have been playing the long game since the League of Nations was formed following World War One. The end game has always been to eliminate the concept of nation states in favor of a global government.
Let me make sure I understand: they want to impeach and remove Justice Thomas from the court because he has a rich friend but giving family members money of a once sitting VP and now sitting President is a-okay?
I would add that in the leftist catechism the collective identity as leftist/socialist/Marxist/communist is a higher moral ground than even Blackness or Indigenous-ness (both of which are themselves higher moral ground than any other remaining identity).
Nobody (including R's) would have batted an eye if Biden had just set up a foundation. You can run cash thru it, children from Haiti... all sorts of fun stuff. But no. He got sloppy. Sniffed and licked his way right into an oopsy.
The Clintons’ is still going full steam ahead and Chelsea has her own now. Chels went to the dark side somewhere around the time she married, after learning that it’s where the lavish wedding and lifestyle came from.
To my knowledge, being born into the family of 2 power-hungry, leftists who will trample (or kill) anyone who gets in their way, she was always on the dark side. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.
She is married to a son of a criminal. Two fruits from poisonous trees. Some of the comments she made about babies and how they ruin women's lives (all while she was pregnant - because obviously a baby from her is worthy) were vile and the anagram of vile.
Let's acknowledge the blatant what-about-ism here, and acknowledge that wrong is wrong no matter who is guilty. Thomas is not being judged because "he has a rich friend", but because he has been the recipient of huge amounts of gifts and money from someone whose interests are connected with cases before the Supreme Court. That this pales in comparison to the crimes of the Biden Cartel in no way absolves Thomas of wrongdoing.
Because all indications to date are that Justice Thomas is principled and upstanding fine Catholic man. I know that he attends the Traditional Latin Mass every single day (or at least, did so until Cdl. Gregory recently banned it.)
That said, if he's a fraud - let the evidence show it.
From the Federalist article on this subject (see below):
"No cases involving Harlan Crow have ever reached Thomas. And there are no examples of Thomas having changed his positions to accommodate anyone. ProPublica takes an embarrassing stab at making this contention by noting that Thomas’s criticism of an old Chevron-related case means that he’s adopted a concept “newly popular on the right, that would limit government regulation.” Yes, limiting government regulation is a wholly newfangled idea within Federalist Society circles. Pulitzer on the way."
@Lynn Faulkner, what else ya got? Still seems that Thomas is a hero.
One of mine, too, Fred. My daughter got to meet him when he went to Hillsdale a few years ago. She casually texted me one day, "guess who I got to meet today? Justice Thomas! He stopped by to listen to orchestra rehearsal."
I want to emphasize how dangerous trans sanctuary states are for family and parental rights.
I worked as a guardian ad item in the family court and had a case for which this sanctuary state business would be devastating.
Added further comments:
An anecdote from my time as a guardian ad litem:
A young boy (about 8?) was being kept with his mother who refused the father his parenting time. The mother alleged the boy was actually a girl, and the father was denying the child. She claimed abuse based upon the father refusing to affirm and also said the child was scared of the father.
Upon meeting with the child, privately (yes I did this, but would feel very resistant to having my own children privately interviewed), the little boy pleaded with me to tell his mother to please listen to him. He said that he told his mother about a chase game where dad would chase pretending to be scary. He said when he told his mother, she got on the phone right away (making a report) and wouldn't let him see his father. He said he tried to tell her it was a game, but she wouldn't listen, so could I please ask her to listen to him.
My supervisor and training had pointed out a boundary by which GALs are not supposed to share with the parties what the child or other party contributes, because of repercussions to the child for anything the child says. In my prior life I would have met with the parents and opened up the topic, not hidden it, nor reserved it for a court report with massive potential repercussions for the parents who soon after arrive in court not having been supported to work out their own issues and look for their own solutions.
There was no sign of any gender identity issue in this family, not in talking to the boy, to his teachers, to anyone except mom. Mom herself was self identifies nonbinary and felt persecuted herself. This was the first time I had encountered this dynamic of abuse by nonaffirmation, especially with a very young child.
I was fired (thankfully) before the case went to court, because I was asking too many questions and taking too much time on cases. Yes, this was the explanation, but it was expressed as though it were a form of incompetence. This was relieving, as it was a huge ethical quandary to be in an authoritative position in relation to families when my heart questions how Best Interests are being used. I have historically been a teacher/facilitator of alternative education, and the thought of not working WITH families is very foreign to me.
I don't know what the judge decided, but, my state now promotes hiding trans treatment from parents. The sanctuary role is a tool by which children can be separated from otherwise loving parents, one or both, with little evidence, and it is difficult for me to understand why this is not understood. Having seen how family court decisions are often made without adherence to standards of evidence nor due process, I believe this is more a tool of separation and removal of children from their families than a tool to protect children from truly bad parents.
I now have a child barely turned adult who has gone trans, and excommunicated his parents all on his own, and it is very easy for me to personally be shocked by the potential trauma this could have caused to my family were he to have joined up with trans at a younger age.
Added my response to another comment:
I feel conflicted about the role of the GAL. There are very serious issues with the role and its part in the problematic structure of family court itself. Having worked for basically decades supporting families, it is very strange to be restricted by a role whose structure and culture views their every word with suspicion and structurally affirms the value that "neutral third parties", often professionals, have more credibility and weight than parents. Parents are often unaware of their rights and how to navigate the legal system, at great cost to their family. Many GALs, where I am, come from social services backgrounds, like CPS, and so have accepted the culture and methods and ideological paradigms. Different GALs, I believe, might present the same family in very different ways, to very different outcomes. Personal views of the GAL do matter, and can very easily result in recommendations and reporting that supports their views. I could go on and on. So, yes, there are times that an outside perspective can offer much needed insight and address true abuse, but I question the overall balance of the effect this system is having upon children in their families.

Wow, even without your story, I knew it was an extremely dangerous idea for gov't to get between a minor child and the child's parents. Yes, their goal is for gov't to take control of raising children, parents are bad people after all...

Yes. It is a oroblematic position and many GALS do untold damage. Please contact One Moms Battle and help in this fight against the corrupt family court system, where kids are being held hostage because of litigious divorce cases.
Guardian ad litem. A court employee appointed to a case in family or juvenile court to investigate and give a report which includes recommendations of court action that would be in the Best Interests of the Child.
Please contact Tina from One Moms Battle. It is rare to find a GAL who has been fired for refusal to go along with the family law system, which is sytematically removing children from loving parents, incarcerating them in "reunification" (gaslighting) camps, and extorting money from the parents (10,000 a day in some caes). You could be a huge asset in this David and Goliath battle with the Good Old Boy system of the child trafficking, abusive family court system.
I am a Clinical Social Worker, (ret), frequently involved with children and families. The system was irreparably broken 20 years ago to the point that I could no longer participate in the morass of injustice. I simply cant imagine what it must be like now, with this pervading woke ideology.
WA state had also just signed into law the same “sanctuary” bs as Colorado... we’ve also got men who claim to be women in women’s prisons, raping the women... WA is a horrible place to be now...
Cari, I will be praying for Colorado. It is sickening to see these perversions reach top governmental levels. I remember when James Dobson (Christian broadcaster) moved his ministry from California to Colorado Springs because of the decadence in CA! And now Colorado is a close second to CA in this craziness. God help us!
Freebird, I will share the same information with you that I just shared with Cari...

If you are interested in praying for your state with a group of like-minded folks, check out Intercessors for America. There are national prayer calls on Tuesdays and Thursdays where we pray for our country, but each state also has their own group that meets weekly. We are seeing God move through our prayers! Here's a link to the information for the Colorado state prayer call:
Great! Glad you choose to have that perspective! Every believer should! But your original comment suggested that the weather was what was keeping you there.
Hard to know anything about anyone’s motive for writing beside whatever they reveal in the comment.
I apologize if my comment is out of line, but I'm going to say what may sound harsh, out of 'loving my neighbor as myself,' to give such advice as what I would wish others would give me:
This may be the least of what this teacher and future teachers of your child are doing and will do, and if your child is being taught what in the classroom is a minority opinion, then your child is at great risk of just wanting to fit in among her classmates and with her teachers. Save your child and get her out of that system before it's too late. Where do you think children are learning all these awful notions? From teachers who are taught it in their schools of 'education' and from peers and evil adults on social media. Read Runemasque's comment, all the way to the end. We can't control everything about what happens to our children, but we can surely do everything within our power to do so.

I just printed off the PDF from it. I am not from CO, but will include it in my prayers along with UT and FL (and of course our beloved country). Thank you for that link. Sometimes I flounder when praying for our leaders. This provides a wonderful guidepost.
IFA's website has tons of great resources! Spend some time browsing if you can...their writers tackle lots of tough subject matter and they put out prayer guides for specific issues regularly. National prayer calls are Tuesdays and Thursdays at 12:15pm EST. You can watch them live on their website, on their Facebook page or on Rumble.
I have been involved with IFA for a little over 2 years now. I honestly got involved because I liked the "intercessory intel" on what's happening in the country and the world. We examine everything through a spiritual lense. But, God had bigger plans for my involvement! I have become very involved in my state group (Florida) and am prayerfully considering taking on a bigger role. Seeing how God has answered so many of our prayers over the past couple of years is really so wonderful and rewarding. We know He hears us because we see the results over and over again! I truly hope you find it as encouraging as I do. God bless you!
Yes. But remember Sodom and Gomorrah. Lot and his family had to leave and not look back to remain untouched by the evil. It is hard to remain on the Godly path when surrounded by evil and depravity.
Cari, If you want to check out an IFA national prayer call today it will be broadcast live at 12:15pm EST on their website. You can also watch on their Facebook page or Rumble. Here's the link...it's featured right at the top of the main page:
I have the same problem in Washington state. It's falling off the deep end. We have invested so much work and money in our property that I can't even imagine selling and starting over somewhere else. We're getting too old. We will most likely move to another state when we finally decide to sell our farm and business and truly retire. For now, we're toughing it out in a rural area of western Washington.
Honestly, I think it's primarily the Washington State government who is captured and off the deep-end. Sure their are lefty crazies all over. . .but they are probably everywhere including Florida. I hope Team Freedom and Reality is able to take Washington State back and hold the ground in non compromised States. I do think the far left has been systematically infiltrating schools and government and that the Pacific coast States have been captured for decades.
Jean, I am also a Jean! I hear ya about investing time and $$ in a place and being at an age where change would be difficult. I’m in the same boat here in AK, a state that has been mostly conservative in the past. But it’s changing rapidly with unfortunate influences from the West coast seeping in. I don't like what I see coming yet haven’t the energy to stay and fight. I do what I can and live in a conservative area but we are eyeing a move when and if hubby can retire.
Hi Cari...I also live in “colorful” Colorado (funny how that slogan rings so true today). I am born and raised here...still live in my hometown (never lived anywhere else)...most of my family live in this state and I can’t fathom leaving...like you said, if we (who are of sound mind) leave, the state will surely flounder...yet, it’s embarrassing (and heartbreaking) living in this freak-show of a state!
I’m upset Polis did this too, Cari! Also live in CO. Up to this point, he was behaving more moderate. (R’s) say leave blue states but CO has been our home for 40 years! Fortunately there are a lot of red areas here but... blue in government and surrounding all of the colleges (Denver, Boulder, Ft. Collins & Durango). SO DISAPPOINTED 😔
Carl L— 2 Peter 2: 8 (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;)
9 The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:
10 But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.
11 Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord.
East coast of Florida, as long as you stay on the river or near the beach, is the most perfect weather in the world. No bugs except love bugs twice a year. We actually have the doors to the pool open right now, it's exactly the same temp as outside.73. Perfect. Ocean breeze. Heaven.
I've seen it twice now. Was somewhat unaware of the subject matter (knew it was about demonic possession, but that was it.)
I don't go to movies; they disgust me with their secular propaganda.
But Nefarious is literally the best movie I've seen in 25 years or more. It puts forth the true nature of the final battle between the Carpenter and the demonic legion. AND, unlike many so-called "Christian" movies, it's world class in its production, writing and acting. (The lead actor, Sean Patrick Flanery, would get an Oscar if he weren't acting in a such as way as to expose the demonic rulers of this world.)
I agree with everything Fred Bennett said. The trailer looked very scary to me, since I don't like horror films or psychological thrillers. But I read a review of it in The Federalist and decided to go. (Unfortunately, the article had some spoilers in it--they alerted the reader, but I read it anyway--and I wish I hadn't known a couple of things.) The movie is obviously about a scary subject--demonic possession--but the acting is phenomenal. There are a couple of difficult scenes, but nothing like the gratuitous violence in most movies, and I'd take an older teen to see it, unless I thought the subject of demonic possession would bother them.
It is terrible, I regret spending my time and money. It was absolutely awful. The entire movie takes place as a conversation in a prison between two people. Worst movie I have ever seen.
Worst movie I ever saw. I am a 45 year old Christian woman. Maybe older male population finds this interesting? It is so boring. It is just a conversation. Why make this a movie? There’s nothing to see. They do nothing other than sit in the dark and talk. I did not find it interesting at all. I found it a waste of time.
It's the story of a worldwide demonic campaign to defeat Jesus Christ, as revealed in a demon who possesses a condemned convict. Along the way, a secular atheist psychiatrist becomes the tag-teamed guy to wrestle the demon.
Maybe not your cup of tea.
But I (and 97% of the confirmed reviewers on Rotten Tomatoes) loved it. (To be fair, the professional movie critics HATED it. Hmmm.)
It's like a cross (no pun intended) between C.S. Lewis Screwtape Letters, and The Exorcist.
To me it was a cross between The Exorcist and Silence of the Lambs, which also was mostly two people talking to each other in prison. I think that won a bunch of Academy Awards.
I might be okay with it as a book, from an intellectual Standpoint, but there is nothing to see other than a really ugly, twitching man sitting in the dark and yelling and then switching personalities.
I know about the underworld, and pretty. early in my life tried once, the ouija board. Scared me good, never did that again. FYI. Frank Peretti wrote a book years ago, This Present Darkness, a chapter vividly describes evil spirits on the ceiling above a church group meeting. Never got over the visual. It’s very real
It’s just a conversation. They don’t do anything! Why is this even a movie? There’s nothing to see. They sit and talk. In the dark. In a prison. I found it insanely boring and ugly to watch.
I moved from CO to WA. I desperately want out of WA. If I were in CO, I'd be looking to leave. These states are going to hell in a handbasket at a dizzying pace. They're terrible places to raise kids. The question is, where can we safely go? Woke ideology is seeping into every state. It'll catch up with everyone sooner or later.
I think the state I live in, MO. (another flyover state) is generally conservative and still has traditional values. The 3 largest cities, St.Louis, Kansas City and Jefferson City are run by leftist mayors but overall the state government leans towards conservatism. Our 2 U.S. Senators are awesome and our state senator and our AG are very conservative as well. We live in a small village about 30 miles south of Kansas City and it’s very conservative and most people, not all, who live here embrace traditional values and are Christians. We weren’t born or raised here but we like the fact that it’s in the center of the country and we can get anywhere fairly easily and there’s a lot to offer. July and August are hot and humid but otherwise it’s pretty nice. My “home state” is WI and it’s quickly going to hell.
We lived in Seattle for 3 years amongst the crazy Left Wokesters. It was everywhere and you couldn't escape it. While there we got to know a couple with a 3 year old daughter, whom we "adopted" (not actually) as her "West Coast grandparents."
We loved that little girl. We babysat her so her mom and dad could go on date nights. We even took her to (the Traditional Latin) Mass with us.
But LGBTQ was everywhere and insidious and unstoppable. All the more so since her mother supported it.
The little girl was 5 when we moved back to flyover country. She must be going on 8 now. Without a doubt, the Trans / LGBTQ agenda has claimed her.
That's so tragic to hear. Our son is 8 and is fully aware that all this is a big lie. We talk about it all the time. I would love to move out of WA and think about it every day. Unfortunately we're stuck here for now as my husband's family is here.
So sad about Seattle. We lived there in 1969-70 and our daughter was born there. It was so lovely then and a wonderful place to live, nothing crazy going on. I like to remember it that way. My main complaint about it was all the rain!
About the same time you posted this excellent suggestion, I was out walking my dogs and that appeared in my mind, along with the question "Don't you believe God can overcome this evil too?"
I learned a long time ago - don't ignore the Holy Spirit. When He speaks, I'd better listen up.
You might enjoy reading Jonathan Cahn’s book “The Returns of the gods”. It is most revealing about the demonic activity that engulfing our once great nation.
It's next on my list! Just finished the Harbinger not long ago. He is an incredible theologian and author. The book blew my mind. I've listened to several podcasts with him on the new book and it is so intriguing and the correlation between those ancient "little g" gods and the demonic influence in today's culture is stunning.
“It’s time to remind you that all other vaccines DO prevent transmission.”
False: DTaP is a toxoid vaccine, only prevents symptoms does not suppress the D bacteria, T is not transmissible, and those who receive the aP receive original antigenic sin which is why fully vaccinated schools get B-parapertusis outbreaks. I believe the same goes for the IPV jab as well. Hep-B shot is a boondoggle as well. Never was clear if the rubella vaccine ever worked because symptoms are so non-specific. The defective mumps vaccine may prevent transmission when kids are young but fails to work when they are older and when they don’t want to catch it. Same goes for the worthless measles jab which we seem content with two+ jabs to keep it “working”. Chicken pox vaccine may actually work short term but seems to have been a real great way to up the shingles susceptibility.
Nick is correct. Many vaccines do not prevent infection or transmission. They neutralize toxins once infected. The only vaccines that could try to stake a claim on transmission/herd immunity are Hib, Varicella (chicken pox), and MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella).
After reading Turtles I’ll never take another vaccine (or any type of injection unless it’s a matter of life or death). Most of them aren’t necessary and don’t work very well, and many are downright dangerous.
Bottom line: neither safe nor effective, but more importantly, not necessary.
I agree. I first read "Dissolving Illusions", which starts back into the 1800s and talks about the development of the smallpox vaccine and takes it from there. Then I read Turtles, and both are great in slightly different ways.
I was one of the lucky ones to survive the DTP jabs mostly unscathed as a kid (allergies perhaps 🤔). I got conned into a DTaP jab when I was living in Nashville after they were offering free tetanus jabs after the flood. Doc says oh yeah adults are [always] getting “whooping cough” you should just get the 3 in 1. 🤦♂️.
I’m sure that stupid jab set me up for my eventual Hoshimoto’s injury after my last flu jab about 10 years ago. Worthless autoimmune causing boondoggles.
Although I recently read that nasal carriage is still present after Hib. At which point I wondered why we give it. Allegedly, according to old pediatricians, it has resulted in less Hib meningitis. But now I wonder if something else has less to the decrease.
Before the HiB got introduced, breastfeeding was very effective in preventing infection and providing antibodies. There is a good talk by Dr. Suzanne Humphries on this.
Remember, a pediatrician’s primary job is to push drugs for profit and discourage breastfeeding.
I’m finally getting around to reading Robert Mendelssohn, M.D.’s heretical classic. How to raise a healthy child in spite of your doctor. 🤯 see
Ahhh, makes sense, as most of the very old pediatricians who saw lots of Hib meningitis also “grew up” practicing during the 60s and 70s when breastfeeding was eschewed and disdained. Thus perhaps they saw more Hib.
What a disaster. Tell moms to forego breastfeeding, watch their babies get sick with severe illness, come up with an injectable product to prevent said illness. What a joke.
I came to say the same. Many who have only recently discovered that covid vaccines were a complete failure, still remain uninformed on the other vaccines. It’s all a sham. Also, look at the timeline of when some of these vaccines rolled out and when the decline of transmission occurred. Conveniently, pharma takes credit for their snake oil stopping diseases, but many are just as ineffective as their failed covid vaccine.
My son and his wife were “ required” to get DTAP vaccines to visit their best friends newborn. Otherwise they would not be permitted to be around the baby. When I called my son on it he said-“ well, they said it was safe”. Clown World....
Re: chicken pox vax, it also gives people a false sense of security that itchy rashes can't possibly be that. My kids caught full-blown CP from a vaxed one with a "mild rash" at school.
Me and my brothers got CP as kids. Was a 5 day school break for us. Pretty much the whole school got it that month and that was about it. These defective live virus vaccines just make susceptible adults.
Daytona area is still cheap. The secret is to live within 10 miles of the coast - the weather is much more moderate. There are a lot of white dudes with long blonde hair driving pickup trucks with Trump stickers and smoking cigarettes, so that may trigger some.
Lefties need to stay up north where it's safe. Everyone else is welcome!
Remains to be seen. Former Senate President and current Commissioner of Agriculture Wilton Simpson will run and possibly win, given his deep PAC connections-within-connections, his support for and by Big Sugar and Disney, and his cover as 'just a farmer like you.' He *authored* the red flag law and the infringement on 2A rights of 18-20 year olds in 2018. Still claims to be "pro-2A," like so many other liars.
Reminds me of the time when I drove East of the Cascades (WA state) and saw a battered old white Ford pickup truck with "T R U M P" hand-painted on the liftgate.
“East of mountains” was always conservative until Microsoft and Amazon millionaires moved in. I often say Gates did more to change WA than Boeing. Hailing from the Okanogan (Okanagan in BC). Stuck in CA now.
BFM, are you saying that the complexion of FL is changing? It’s no longer populated by rich elderly people of Israeli descent? 😂
Actually I love to visit your fair state, especially because my sister lives in Ft. Myers, but I wouldn’t want to live there. The climate is too hot and humid for me, and I love seasons that change and even occasional snow!
Come on down; just don’t Yankee our Free State of Florida! We may be redneck, but we like it this way and don’t care a whit how things are done up north!
This morning I saw a bumper sticker on a car that said, "Don't Texas My Virginia." I thought, boy, how many times have I said, "Don't California my Virginia"? I love it here and I would hate to see it turn into that wretched other state I used to call home. Though, I see a trickling in of similar ideas and it sends shudders through me.
That's an old theme. In the 1970s a popular one in Virginia was "Don't Fairfax Loudoun," referring to two (even half a century ago) affluent commuter counties directly west of Worsenington, DC. But, as you probably can guess, runaway suburban sprawl is precisely what happened. I grew up in the region. I was dismayed to see the green spaces gobbled up by runaway development. I moved away from there twenty years ago. I'll probably never return. No reason to.
Ironically, half of California is from somewhere else. We seem to get all of the narcissistic, money-gru by, identity thieving woke coders who have no morals. Lucky us!!
Watch carefully, the crazies are relentless and I think this writer shows just what they are up to, reminding me of Samantha Powers’ recent travels to Hungary and other culturally conservative Eastern European countries. https://americanmind.org/salvo/revolution-of-color/
The housing prices are nuts about EVERYWHERE. We have looked in Idaho, NC, TX, TN - its all pretty much around 500-600k for anything that is decent. Its Cas going everywhere and driving up prices.
Don’t go to NC… that’s purple and may head blue… or at least they’re trying. Especially if you have kids that’ll be in school… all the colleges are woke there already.
I don’t believe everything I read, but I also think people in [s]elected office don’t get there without significant compromise. Any of them. The more “power” in the position, the more it takes. The unelecteds / appointeds might be worse?
Then there’s Zappa wisdom which I think I dropped in these parts recently:
Politics is the entertainment division of the military-industrial complex.
Good morning Jeff - keep up the great work. BTW, a couple days ago, a 23 ton truckload of contaminated dirt from East Palestine OH rolled over about 4 miles from town whilst headed to the hazardous waste repository. But of course, the official experts are telling us that there is nothing to be concerned with - because Science!
I think each of the previous Reedy Creek board members who pushed through the 11th hour changes in favor of Disney should be prosecuted as well. I like that officials or board members be held responsible if their actions violate the law. Too many , like the soros DAs, get away with ignoring the law. I put them up with gang members and drug dealers. They need to be dealt with.
I wish the sobbing legislator and all democrats had as much apparent “love” for unborn humans. Where’s their humanity? Any legislator who wants to “go around the constitution” should be immediately removed from office in violation of their oath of office. I’m tired of these people swearing an oath with no intention of keeping it.
The charge for circumventing the Constitutions of both the United States and the state in which one has been elected to serve should be treason, punishable to the full extent of the law. Every. Single. Time.
We should at least be pointing out, vocally and as publicly as possible, when elected and appointed officials break their oaths of office. The examples are numerous and easy to make. I wrote about it the first time regarding Seattle City Commissioner Kshama Sawant, whose oath of office (on video) includes fidelity to the U.S. and Washington State Constitutions. It is child's play to demonstrate where her videotaped public comments demonstrate that she had broken her oath of office. Can any attorneys weigh in on how one would proceed against such officials? What are the lawful consequences of breaking one's oath of office?
As I've argued here before, oaths of office are not binding under law.
Non-lawyers often think that words have one meaning, while lawyers are trained to recognize that they usually have *many* meanings. I remember a Canadian Supreme Court opinion that logically reasoned wild moose were in fact the same thing as cattle.
My entire legal career revealed this dichotomy to me nearly everyday.
Assuming you're correct, it's why Shakespeare was right, about lawyers. I feel certain that the Founders, who wrote the words of the oath of office, didn't agree with you. Where did things get off-track, between then and now?
The famous "kill all the lawyers" quote from Shakespeare is spoken by a murdering, anti-intellectual demagogue villain - not a hero - who wants to lead the kingdom into tyranny. (Henry VI, Part 2). At least as far as the play is concerned, lawyers were the *heroes* who stood in opposition to tyranny.
As for the binding nature of the oath of office, to my knowledge federal law has never provided a law addressing a violation of the oath. The Constitution alone provides for the only remedy: impeachment and trial in the Senate. There is no penalty under federal or state law for "violating the oath of office" and never has been.
But apart from that, just look at the oath itself:
"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."
The first question is, how to enforce the massive weasel-word, drive-a-truck-through-it, get-out-of-jail-free exception, "to the best of my Ability"?
Second, how could we objectively determine whether someone has "preserve[d]. protect[ed] and defend[ed] the Constitution of the United States"?
The answer is: you can't, for the reason that these elements of the oath are subjective, i.e., to one man, (Pres. Lincoln) these would allow him to imprison newspaper editors who criticized him, and to another (Pres. Wilson) these same words allowed him to imprison those who spoke against the US involvement in WWI, and to yet another, (FDR) these allowed him to send Japanese American citizens to concentration camps.
Each of these men believed they were acting within their solemn duty to "defend the Constitution" (I'd disagree, but so what?). So, how are you ever going to convict them of a crime which has never existed?
You can't. The only remedy is impeachment.
PS: Although it has no bearing on the disputed question, my 7th great grandfather, Arthur Middleton, was a Founding Father. His signature on the Declaration of Independence right next to Thomas Jefferson.
He, like me, was a lawyer, educated at Cambridge and London Inns of Court. Unlike me, he paid dearly for his signature on that document.
What if they espouse, support, vote for, socialism? Isn't that prima facie evidence of not "preserving, protecting, and defending the Constitution?" When they take that oath, they lie.
My first thought when I saw her crying was “Cartels got to her”. When you take money from evil, they expect you to get the job done. She is crying because she can not fail. She sold her soul.
Did you ever wonder where the name "Progressive" came from?
It was a late-19th / early-20th century political movement spurred on by people like Teddy Roosevelt, who wanted to find a way to move past (in other words, "PRO-gress" beyond) the restrictions on government power under the Constitution.
For all my former and current Michigan co-patriots, tomorrow, the Michigan house appropriations committee is voting on whether to send millions, (in the tune of 85 million) in our tax payer monies to the CCP Gotion battery plant being planned for Mecosta County, next to Big Rapids and Ferris State University. 300 Chinese Nationals are being shipped in to run the place. Word is Ferris State University will close, bought out by the Chinese and become a Chinese “education” center. A big rally was planned for Saturday, but in true “transparency” style, the appropriations vote was moved to a day ahead. Now that the Dems have taken over the Michigan Legislature, it’s convenient that this is being pushed through.
In the fictional books, Man of Lawlessness, and Son of Perdition, the Chinese invade the USA from Mexico and Canada, cut the country in half. They were after the mineral rights after a secret deal with head of Homeland Security. (who, in my opinion, in real life was HRC as Sec of State).
Chris Martenson, on Peak Prosperity, has been following China's preparations to go on a war footing. Our institutions are discouraging traditional masculinity on every level, as embodied in that freak in a mumu (my sister and I as teenagers thought the VERY worst thing that could ever happen to a person would be to think a party was a luau and show up in a mumu, the total social annihilation of it lol), and one wonders how much the CCP is behind this destruction of masculinity, the long march through the institutions.
Its a shame that this current administration isn't even on a bike path much less any type of road, as the CCP remains slow and steady in overtaking our society.
God is the only one who will get this country out of this mess. Until our churches, pastors and priests start preaching the American Constitution and story from the pulpits, we lose. God’s people will endure but we need to be involved, locally now, but churches get involved in your communities
Both/and. Before the control tool of 'tax exempt' status was used against churches (well, conservative ones, at least), pastors preached on the connection between God's Word and the principles of liberty. One example only:
The pulpit of the American Revolution : or, The political sermons of the period 1776
Nearly at the end of an 8 week Biblical Citizenship class and last night’s lesson was on the 1st amendment and Church and State. Fascinating how many sermons were delivered on liberty, freedom and resisting tyranny. History has been rewritten for so long, thank you, Wallbuilders for preserving so many original documents so we may view the Founding Fathers intents.
It really enraged me that Governor Pink Pussyhat just allowed the passing of kids in third grade who don't meet the reading proficiency level required by law as it might damage them emotionally. This is racism masquerading as (weaponized) compassion. I think democrats take a course in it, listening to Arden and Breathy Clone boy of Canada. Not let's ask the engulfing WEF Urban Transformation squad to fund some tutoring and after school programs, let's just condemn more kids to functional illiteracy.
Under CCP rules, any CCP company MUST have a "committee" space to discuss/receive updates/orders from the CCP located within the physical location. How nice, just your local CCP Club! And the demoncrats are all good with that because of the $ that will line their personal pockets. So easy to sell out your country for a fist full of $.
This is off topic, but a question that has been nagging at me for a couple of days.
If Fox is held accountable for "lies" relating to voting machines, is there a legal theory that can be used to bring a massive class action lawsuit against CNN, NBC, NPR, Twitter, Facebook, etc... for the lies they intentionally told, and truths intentionally withheld, to allow Biden to get installed as POTUS? If 17% of voters say they would have voted for Trump had they been allowed to know the truth about Hunter's laptop, that seems to me to be a starting point. The injuries - economic, medical, psychological - tens of millions have suffered as a DIRECT result of their lies would be in the trillions of dollars.
got another theory for you. if fox is accountable for "lies" related to the theft of the 2020 election, can coffee & covid be held accountable for "lies" related to the lethal injection campaign? or tranny "rights?"
For the record, ALL commercial nuclear power plants contain “sensitive nuclear technology.” It is complicated, but it is the law. FWIT, Unit 5 of Ukraine’s Zaporozhye nuclear plant was fully loaded with Westinghouse fuel in 2019. The fuel came from a Westinghouse facility in Sweden that was owned by the Japanese company, Toshiba. The plant technology is from Russia. This is a game of semantics, nothing more. A distraction.

To which I say Amen! Thank you DeSantis and the FL legislature, both Rep and Dem.
Florida Passes Bill Enacting Death Penalty for Sexual Abusers of Children
...“My view is, you have some of these people that will be serial rapists of six, seven-year-old kids,” said DeSantis in an interview on “Good Morning Orlando” on Monday. “I think the death penalty is the only appropriate punishment when you have situations like that.”...
...The bill was sponsored by State Senate Minority Leader Lauren Book (D-Fla.) and State Senator Jonathan Martin (R-Fla.), with Book saying that “Once a predator has a child ensnared, they will harm that child over and over and over again, and then move on to another innocent child.”...
Pedos generally can't be rehabilitated. When you are dead, you can't commit anymore heinous acts and prey upon those innocent and defenseless anymore. Good law.
The new real Democratic party is a Bolshevik regime that has taken the gloves off. The whole idea of life-long professional politicians is anathema to American liberty and should be outlawed by term limits.
Kudos for calling them by their actual name. Obama ran all of the leftists and liberals out of the Democratic party and left only Bolsheviks remaining . This insanity we are seeing today could not exist otherwise. They are all disciples of Soros and Marx , and by extension, satan. Nasty narcissistic people . We must not let them control the language. Take it back, as you have done here. Every. Single. Time. Fight fire with fire.
Trivia point, Adam Schiff's multi-great grandpa was a NY banker that gave Trotsky $$ to travel to Russia for the Bolshevik revolution. Long histories of these families with communism/marxism/kill you-ism.
But then we need the same for the unelecteds - staffers, bureaucrats, etc., in both the executive and legislative branches, or that's who will have the institutional knowledge and memory and run circles around what would then be the elected 'temporary staff.' That may already be the case, for such offices as President, and perhaps has been since JFK.
They should have to retire after 20 years in any combination of federal elected or appointed office except S Ct.
Seasoned enough to be effective, not too long that they build a dynasty.
No pension if they do not serve 20 years, just like the military. Or at least prorate the pension for the number of years. Even a one-term congressperson gets full pension for life.
Medical benefits should be same as any federal employee, not royal benefits.
Whoever is wise, let him understand these things;
Whoever is discerning, let him know them.
For the ways of the Lord are right,
And the righteous will walk in them,
But transgressors will stumble in them.
— Hosea 14:9 NASB1995
Ha ha...when I first read the last verse, I thought it said "But transgenders will stumble in them." I guess that fits too...
The word from the Hebrew means "to rebel, transgress, revolt." They are definitely doing all of those things.
AMEN! But "they" are "gods" unto themselves...so "they" don't answer to Yahweh...right now! In eternity...they WILL!
Ha yes, I read that way too! Did a double take
Ha, ha, Lisa. Serious LOL. Good one. Made my day.
Too many "trans" words being flaunted in today's world--I get that, Lisa!!
I did the same thing! Ha
It's not often you see scripture from Hosea. Thanks for the share.
Very last verse in the book. A lot of it is NOT of the warm fuzzy type that makes a good meme.
"NOT of the warm fuzzy type that makes a good meme. " -cause the Minor Profits don't play......

I’ve just been reading and fwdg last half hour the most sickening, frustrating and maddening news to my contact list. The past three years I’ve kept up with the deceits, media chest thumping, the wicked decisions of our govt, and the latest shell games of our AZ leadership! And yet at a potluck gathering last night a neighbor announced that she raises a glass of wine to Lester Holt every evening while listening to the news. ~~~~ Folks don’t really want to be informed, think they are staying pure….Yes, she will be shocked, likely pass out, when she faces the real news, when God moves to tip over the boiling caldron…….Maybe? there is a huge Ark going up somewhere nearby, keep looking. Watch for rain clouds! ~~~ Some years ago I was in our local market at the deli counter, waiting my turn. The guy next to me told the clerk, “Yeah, I’ll have a couple of thighs, and a neck.” Probably can’t do that on a human just yet, but they’re sure messing with as much of our humanity as they can. Hey Hosea? amen and amen
Funny--re ark nearby, I was reading Genesis chaps 7,8,9,10 before I got up this morning
I have realized lately, with our media, our govt decisions, and mandates, what the phrase “in the days of Noah” must mean. Never paid much attention to it before. And also what a long ten years that must have been for him, hammering away while his neighbors camped out around him, making fun of his project. No rain, surely, Noah? “Come on, man!” LOL
This song always makes me smile. Colton Dixon, Build A Boat - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjaKKAsQc34/
Thank you--I went straight to the link--really appreciated his presenting the lyrics at the same point, same time. This is not music I tend to listen to, so would never have found it without your post. And, as in my comment above, this is just what I was reading today at dawn.
There are vast amounts of prophetic lyrics in today's contemporary Christian music. While I prefer the old hymns, I'd be missing much of what God is taking us through now if I wasn't listening to it. There is an app called the Joy FM (app store) that's a radio station broadcast from Sarasota, FL with stations in GA and AL now that play this music. You can download it and listen online. I have grown my faith listening. We are Messengers is one of my favorites...

So glad you like it! It is nice to have something to make you smile. :)
Thank you for sharing LS Woodruff…a great song — and supremely poignant these days!!!!!
Fist-bump 👊🏻
So glad that you enjoyed it as well! One of my current favs! God Bless!
That was good. LS. Thanks.
Glad you liked it! Lots of truths in the lyrics. :)
And they were eating, drinking and wedding and celebrating because all was well and fine.
Do you know it wasn’t that simple?
These ‘people’ weren’t people, simply doing what ‘people’ do.
They were experimenting with DNA and “all flesh (including animals) was corrupted.....except Noah. And they were consuming “all flesh”.
There was even someone on the Ark whose
DNA was apparently corrupted as well, because the giants (Nephillim) were still in the land AFTER the flood. (It could have been one of the daughters-in-law).
When the apocrypha was pulled out of the Bible, it was hard to understand why God would destroy every living creature, and only one man ‘found grace in the eyes of the Lord”.......Noah.
And now we find ourselves living among those who have been experimenting on human DNA, once again.
That’s why this is so obviously demonic. The demonic world knows that their time is short, and they are in a panic to corrupt as many humans as they can, because the Father lives us, the enemy wants to hurt the Father by hurting us.
Days of Noah, indeed.
I was pointing out that even in the most abominable days, the people were acting as if all were normal and good. They were dong what is common to man. Just as they are today. They no not see the end on the horizon. Why would they? The corruption of body, mind and soul was complete outside of Noah.
Hey Stone,
That was a good take on it. Yeah. Never tied the 2 together. Awesome!

The Father *loves* us......
I'm shaking my head YES to everything you have said in this post...and YES, YAHWEH is getting ready to tell his Son--His ONLY Son--to gather up the SHEEP from among the GOATS on humanity! EVEN SO...COME, LORD JESUS!
Now I'll have to go back to reading the Apocrypha. Have a copy, but never really read it.
Indeed!
Oh my goodness yes! You don't know the hour when the bridegroom will come, so you'd better have your lamp wicks trimmed. And in case he's delayed, better to have a good supply of food and clean drinking water on hand. To which point, last September, after a long day of canning, I was washing up the paraphernalia when tap water slowed to a trickle??? Turns out a main a mile up the road had burst. No worries for me as I had just brought home from further north 5 gal of our well water. After that experience, and only because of it, I filled all my 5-gal carboys (from wine and beer making--a lot of them) with tap water.
And then, of course, the East Palestine affair.
I honestly thought about that verse yesterday.
Me too!!!
I’m just always curious what they called him since tin foil hadn’t been invented!
Noah that crazy old coot
Same as today. Insane fool who believes there is some superpower up there.
Ten years? It was 100+ years! Noah was 500 years old when God called him to build the ark. (Gen 5:32) Imagine how many times he was called a conspiracy theorist! He was in the desert... building a massive boat.... with no rain in sight! Noah warned the people of God's impending wrath for 100 years! In the end, Noah, his wife, his 3 sons and their wives, 8 people were saved from the flood. Noah was 600 yrs old when God sent rain upon the earth. (Genesis 7:6)
God still requires listening to Him. He has this current situation as well. The battle belongs to the Lord.
PREACH IT, Maggie!
And for those who don't believe Scripture - about 45 years ago, they "unearthed" the ARK OF NOAH on Mount Ararat in Turkey (a speaker in our church was actually a part of the archeological team that unearthed it). How exciting that discovery must have been!
Yes! But it was 120 years it took him to build the Ark.
Oh Lordy! For shure! LOL. Whoopsy ! and I went right back to bed after that. Too funny
I JUST wrote abt Noah in this thread! Great minds…
I think it was 100 years…
Me too.
I'm really enjoying the reading of the Geneva Bible by Naomi Wolf. In addition to my morning reading of the Positive Thinking Bible by Norman Vincent Peale.

My Geneva Bible arrived in the mail just day before yesterday!
And the largest Satantic gathering is coming to Boston known as Satancon at the end of the month! Saint Michael please intercede for us.
I believe Jesus .... the Alpha and the Omega....is the one who will be doing the interceding. Perhaps not at this event.... but at the final one when mankind has pushed too far.
That time may be sooner than later.
I hope so. So many days I feel I can't take anymore of the insanity that now encompasses the whole world.

A relative yesterday asked if we would consider moving to their more conservative part of our state. I replied that if she thinks their part of the state isn’t in jeopardy from the fast-growing tyranny, she is mistaken. They are at risk as well, if they don’t start paying attention.
She doesn’t even know who her state rep is. 🤷🏼♀️🥺
I said also that we can’t all just leave the less conservative places and expect the small holdouts to somehow be able to maintain their autonomy.
It’s really frustrating to see folks continuing to rest on their laurels.
Not a boat next time, but a really big fire.

🗨 But they would prefer not to know. Or if they do, they’d prefer not to say.[...] They fear it would deal them into a game they don’t think they’re equipped to play, let alone to win.[...] So instead of pointing those [strings attached] out, they train themselves to never care.[...] “I can’t change it, so I don’t care,” has practically become their national anthem, or the call-and-response liturgy of their imperial church.

I think many times that ignorance must truly be bliss as I see people continuing on as in the days of Noe. I thank God for wisdom and discernment. May God have mercy on them in their moment of realization 🙏
Except that G*d promised not to flood again.
Nevertheless the there will be a need for sanctuaries. Dedicate to the Lord the four corners of your house or apartment and four corners of your property if you own it, as a sanctuary. When the time comes if it is in our lifetime, welcome those who seek sanctuary.
I'm willing to forget that promise and let it rip.
😂 that is one promise that SHOULD be broken.
One of the things that keeps me semi-sane (best I can do, for now!) is to remind myself that I’m in GOOD company.
Imagine when Noah was building the ark. They’d NEVER SEEN RAIN! And I can’t even imagine telling everyone what was up with all that. “Yeah, so God is kind of ticked at you idiots but He wants to save a remnant when these big drops of water fall from the sky. It’s ok, though. We’re going to put 2 of every kind of beast (yeah, gorillas, too…) on this puppy, and a whole lot of grain and bananas & stuff, so we can populate the earth again when the drops of water finally dry up… No, I’m not crazy. No, I’m not lying. It’s the media and those people in charge of “protecting us” who are actually lying and causing y’all to sin against Gid and humanity, so, yeah…”
Tin foil hat-wearer doesn’t even begin to describe…
Me too. I know the internet can be a hit or miss but I would feel beyond alone without a connection to others who see the truth.
Yep. Every time she raises the glass to lies and transgression against God's order it effectively stokes the caldron.
She is effectively saying "Maranatha" each nite.
Our Phx paper pretty much every day in the opinion column tee-hees the Big Lie….that we who believe we were betrayed with our votes are really all nuts. They haven’t done any real journalizing in their careers, still singing same old song. I wonder what jobs will be open to them when everything is at last exposed.
There will never be a shortage of jobs for those prepared to say and do anything for money. : /
Until Jesus comes back and sorts us. : ))
Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose. Or, the more things change, the more they stay the same. Ecclesiastes 1:9 - What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun. Almighty God is not up in heaven wringing his hands. He knows the ending and the beginning. The question is, will we be prepared. America, Bless God.
EXACTLY. As Solomon stated, "Vanity, vanity, all is vanity"....'nough said!
I keep asking people "Did you skip or sleep through all your history classes?"
“But it could never happen *here*!” 🙄🙄🙄
Ouch!

Thanks for your wise words. 🙏
Good word, "Transgressors" cause there seems to be an abundance of them trying to infiltrate everywhere!
Always love your scripture verses just following Jeff’s news & wry commentaries. Perfect! Pithy. Needed.
How you manage to get them at or near the top…! —the early bird! God’s Word rocks! You rock too!
Many thanks!
I'm thankful when the Word is visible and that Jeff is good with my scripture posts. Their placement all depends on if I'm awake or snoozing when he posts. If he posts at 5:30 am, you all are on your own for that day. 😀Blessings to you-Janice
What a blessing His Word is. And for you to share your thoughts with us. ❤️
“In a hundred years, they’re going to look back at the law requiring people to use their correct gendered bathroom and wonder what the heck was going on in 2023.”
- It’s 2023 and I’m wondering what the heck is going on in 2023!! 🤡
Evil agenda and human stupidity, is my guess.
“Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.” Martin Luther King Jr.
yeah because in 100 hundred years there will be 56 different type of gender bathrooms....and they wont be able to believe that there were only 2 back in 2023, how silly of us neanderthals' !!!
clown world indeed.
I believe that God will purify the west of its ever increasing demonic activities and degeneracy. Scary times ahead.
Ezekiel 38 and 39 makes no mention of the US so...
Do you really think that God will continue to allow this demonic perversion indefinitely?
Pedophilia is now coming up here and there.
Anyway, who knows?
We are not allowed to know the future.
One thing for sure: We are destroying ourselves, our once blessed country.
Purify? Or the east will rise and the west will fall and soon Christ will return?
🤷
This will end sooner than that. You forget the clot shots and others will cull this herd in a couple of years. They did this to themselves.
I’m poised for the learning of folks in our comty to suddenly collapse over this summer…and hear of the Canadian snow birds who won’t be returning this fall. Terrifying
A guy from Florida — you might be right, however…I’m thinking the opposite. Perhaps there’ll be only “one” gender in 100 years because that’s what they’re trying to do when you peel back all the layers…erase our spirituality/reality through absurd biology.
Sayings & phrases which include “God-given” are becoming a thing of the past —
Yes. They are very specifically wanting to medicalize reproduction…. A man can just get an ‘artificial womb’ … and fertility rates will tank… and it will usher in the era of ‘designer babies’ for everyone… created in test tubes.
Brave New World.
Good one! LOL. Nevertheless, when one woman has a baby, wonder which gender it will turn out to be?
Roman history is quite relevant. Folks who know the history see many parallels for our current civilization. Who are the barbarian invaders who are taking over our decaying land?
Thus, my earlier reference to Marcus Aurelius and Meditations. That's where we are now. It took a few more centuries for the Roman Empire to fade into history. It's happening much quicker with the U.S.
"Who are the barbarian invaders who are taking over our decaying land?"
They're wearing floral dresses, they have beards, and they are depicted in today's Substack.
Yes, spot on as far as the barbarians. They've been infiltrating for decades and now bursting forth for all to see. At least, all who wish to see can see.
If you watch Suneel Dhand--behind him, on bookshelf, is a copy of the Meditations. Also a Greek vessel (krater?)
Yes, I recently read Gibbons' "Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire" and learned a lot. It's actually pretty humorous at times.

Oh, sorry, I missed the sarcasm. A common hazard of mine. 🤦♀️
True that few know anything at all about Ancient Rome. The only reason I know the little I know is... 🥁🥁🥁... homeschooling our young human, and doing so by way of timeline of history for our humanities. So grateful.
I, too, found out how much I hadn't learned in school when I homeschooled my kids.
Latin teacher here.
Ha! I thought so! My Latin teacher in high school was always saying 'Veni, vidi, vici!' for some reason, and your ViaVeritasVita reminded me of her!
The Globalists and banksters have been playing the long game since the League of Nations was formed following World War One. The end game has always been to eliminate the concept of nation states in favor of a global government.
Enjoy everyone. This sorta explains the drill happening as we speak:

Very helpful. Thank you.
Thank you, shared with others who will do the same!
Haha, right!
AMEN
Good one!
Let me make sure I understand: they want to impeach and remove Justice Thomas from the court because he has a rich friend but giving family members money of a once sitting VP and now sitting President is a-okay?
I think they're racist against a black justice. Why is that NOT on the MSM news?
Because
"The Left demands apologies for who you are, not what you have done, because it bases morality on collective identity, not individual behaviour.
"This leaves them free as individuals to behave however they like, as long as their group affiliation is virtuous."
- Alice Smith, @TheAliceSmith, via Twitter
(a couple of years or more ago)
They are demonic. Simple.
I would add that in the leftist catechism the collective identity as leftist/socialist/Marxist/communist is a higher moral ground than even Blackness or Indigenous-ness (both of which are themselves higher moral ground than any other remaining identity).
Spot on.
They're trying to shame Thomas into resigning imho. And agree, what irony.
Another "high-tech lynching" attempt.
Biden failed to lynch Justice Thomas 30 plus years ago. His surrogates and supporters are trying again. May they again fail.
Nobody (including R's) would have batted an eye if Biden had just set up a foundation. You can run cash thru it, children from Haiti... all sorts of fun stuff. But no. He got sloppy. Sniffed and licked his way right into an oopsy.
Never underestimate Joe Biden's ability to ... well, you know.
The Clintons’ is still going full steam ahead and Chelsea has her own now. Chels went to the dark side somewhere around the time she married, after learning that it’s where the lavish wedding and lifestyle came from.
To my knowledge, being born into the family of 2 power-hungry, leftists who will trample (or kill) anyone who gets in their way, she was always on the dark side. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.
Isn’t she married to Soros’ nephew?
She is married to a son of a criminal. Two fruits from poisonous trees. Some of the comments she made about babies and how they ruin women's lives (all while she was pregnant - because obviously a baby from her is worthy) were vile and the anagram of vile.
They claim because his wife is conservative he is married to a conflict of interest.
Let's acknowledge the blatant what-about-ism here, and acknowledge that wrong is wrong no matter who is guilty. Thomas is not being judged because "he has a rich friend", but because he has been the recipient of huge amounts of gifts and money from someone whose interests are connected with cases before the Supreme Court. That this pales in comparison to the crimes of the Biden Cartel in no way absolves Thomas of wrongdoing.
What cases are before the Supreme Court? I read that there were NO connections to any cases before the Supreme Court, so I’m just curious.
Yes; please give us citations.
Because all indications to date are that Justice Thomas is principled and upstanding fine Catholic man. I know that he attends the Traditional Latin Mass every single day (or at least, did so until Cdl. Gregory recently banned it.)
That said, if he's a fraud - let the evidence show it.
Until then, he's a hero.
(Troll alert.)
From the Federalist article on this subject (see below):
"No cases involving Harlan Crow have ever reached Thomas. And there are no examples of Thomas having changed his positions to accommodate anyone. ProPublica takes an embarrassing stab at making this contention by noting that Thomas’s criticism of an old Chevron-related case means that he’s adopted a concept “newly popular on the right, that would limit government regulation.” Yes, limiting government regulation is a wholly newfangled idea within Federalist Society circles. Pulitzer on the way."
@Lynn Faulkner, what else ya got? Still seems that Thomas is a hero.

https://www.businessinsider.com/clarence-thomas-didnt-recuse-case-involving-harlan-crow-bloomberg-2023-4
Please refer to Anita Baker
I was on to him from then on.
From what I understand, Lynn, Justice Thomas followed all of the disclosure requirements related to any of these gifts.
https://thefederalist.com/2023/04/06/propublica-exposes-clarence-thomas-he-has-a-rich-friend/
Thank you so much for setting the record straight and defending my hero, Justice Clarence Thomas.
One of mine, too, Fred. My daughter got to meet him when he went to Hillsdale a few years ago. She casually texted me one day, "guess who I got to meet today? Justice Thomas! He stopped by to listen to orchestra rehearsal."
The entire mess is because Thomas did not disclose said gifts. He has said that he was under the impression he didn't have to.
BALONEY!
Irony!
I want to emphasize how dangerous trans sanctuary states are for family and parental rights.
I worked as a guardian ad item in the family court and had a case for which this sanctuary state business would be devastating.
Added further comments:
An anecdote from my time as a guardian ad litem:
A young boy (about 8?) was being kept with his mother who refused the father his parenting time. The mother alleged the boy was actually a girl, and the father was denying the child. She claimed abuse based upon the father refusing to affirm and also said the child was scared of the father.
Upon meeting with the child, privately (yes I did this, but would feel very resistant to having my own children privately interviewed), the little boy pleaded with me to tell his mother to please listen to him. He said that he told his mother about a chase game where dad would chase pretending to be scary. He said when he told his mother, she got on the phone right away (making a report) and wouldn't let him see his father. He said he tried to tell her it was a game, but she wouldn't listen, so could I please ask her to listen to him.
My supervisor and training had pointed out a boundary by which GALs are not supposed to share with the parties what the child or other party contributes, because of repercussions to the child for anything the child says. In my prior life I would have met with the parents and opened up the topic, not hidden it, nor reserved it for a court report with massive potential repercussions for the parents who soon after arrive in court not having been supported to work out their own issues and look for their own solutions.
There was no sign of any gender identity issue in this family, not in talking to the boy, to his teachers, to anyone except mom. Mom herself was self identifies nonbinary and felt persecuted herself. This was the first time I had encountered this dynamic of abuse by nonaffirmation, especially with a very young child.
I was fired (thankfully) before the case went to court, because I was asking too many questions and taking too much time on cases. Yes, this was the explanation, but it was expressed as though it were a form of incompetence. This was relieving, as it was a huge ethical quandary to be in an authoritative position in relation to families when my heart questions how Best Interests are being used. I have historically been a teacher/facilitator of alternative education, and the thought of not working WITH families is very foreign to me.
I don't know what the judge decided, but, my state now promotes hiding trans treatment from parents. The sanctuary role is a tool by which children can be separated from otherwise loving parents, one or both, with little evidence, and it is difficult for me to understand why this is not understood. Having seen how family court decisions are often made without adherence to standards of evidence nor due process, I believe this is more a tool of separation and removal of children from their families than a tool to protect children from truly bad parents.
I now have a child barely turned adult who has gone trans, and excommunicated his parents all on his own, and it is very easy for me to personally be shocked by the potential trauma this could have caused to my family were he to have joined up with trans at a younger age.
Added my response to another comment:
I feel conflicted about the role of the GAL. There are very serious issues with the role and its part in the problematic structure of family court itself. Having worked for basically decades supporting families, it is very strange to be restricted by a role whose structure and culture views their every word with suspicion and structurally affirms the value that "neutral third parties", often professionals, have more credibility and weight than parents. Parents are often unaware of their rights and how to navigate the legal system, at great cost to their family. Many GALs, where I am, come from social services backgrounds, like CPS, and so have accepted the culture and methods and ideological paradigms. Different GALs, I believe, might present the same family in very different ways, to very different outcomes. Personal views of the GAL do matter, and can very easily result in recommendations and reporting that supports their views. I could go on and on. So, yes, there are times that an outside perspective can offer much needed insight and address true abuse, but I question the overall balance of the effect this system is having upon children in their families.

Wow, even without your story, I knew it was an extremely dangerous idea for gov't to get between a minor child and the child's parents. Yes, their goal is for gov't to take control of raising children, parents are bad people after all...
That's a heck of a story - thanks for sharing. Strange times, indeed.
It does show: just needs an extra click at the not-end to expand full-length. Presactly as this copy-pasted clone also does 😉
Thank you. It wasn't showing expansion for me, but now it is. I deleted the copy paste
Thank you for your service to GAL! So many more volunteers needed, even here in Florida! The foster system is abysmal!

Yes. It is a oroblematic position and many GALS do untold damage. Please contact One Moms Battle and help in this fight against the corrupt family court system, where kids are being held hostage because of litigious divorce cases.
I missed an acronym GAL ??
Guardian ad litem. A court employee appointed to a case in family or juvenile court to investigate and give a report which includes recommendations of court action that would be in the Best Interests of the Child.
Please contact Tina from One Moms Battle. It is rare to find a GAL who has been fired for refusal to go along with the family law system, which is sytematically removing children from loving parents, incarcerating them in "reunification" (gaslighting) camps, and extorting money from the parents (10,000 a day in some caes). You could be a huge asset in this David and Goliath battle with the Good Old Boy system of the child trafficking, abusive family court system.
I am a Clinical Social Worker, (ret), frequently involved with children and families. The system was irreparably broken 20 years ago to the point that I could no longer participate in the morass of injustice. I simply cant imagine what it must be like now, with this pervading woke ideology.

PS Why won't you edit-add this link, for smooth discoverability? 🙂
Thank you for sharing. Mind me questioning - did you say you have a child who has excommunicated his own parents at age 18 now?
I totally agree that the sanctuary state for trans kids is completely to dismantle families. Just like Satan wants! Its a tool of Satan!
Washington state is on the verge of passing sanctuary state laws as well. Evil reigns in Olympia.
Maranatha!
WA state had also just signed into law the same “sanctuary” bs as Colorado... we’ve also got men who claim to be women in women’s prisons, raping the women... WA is a horrible place to be now...
Cari, I will be praying for Colorado. It is sickening to see these perversions reach top governmental levels. I remember when James Dobson (Christian broadcaster) moved his ministry from California to Colorado Springs because of the decadence in CA! And now Colorado is a close second to CA in this craziness. God help us!
Freebird, I will share the same information with you that I just shared with Cari...

I guess you know your state is a haven for all kinds of occult and new age ideologies? Maybe a different cool weather state would suit you better?
Great! Glad you choose to have that perspective! Every believer should! But your original comment suggested that the weather was what was keeping you there.
Hard to know anything about anyone’s motive for writing beside whatever they reveal in the comment.
So need to be sad, then! 😉👍🏼
I apologize if my comment is out of line, but I'm going to say what may sound harsh, out of 'loving my neighbor as myself,' to give such advice as what I would wish others would give me:
This may be the least of what this teacher and future teachers of your child are doing and will do, and if your child is being taught what in the classroom is a minority opinion, then your child is at great risk of just wanting to fit in among her classmates and with her teachers. Save your child and get her out of that system before it's too late. Where do you think children are learning all these awful notions? From teachers who are taught it in their schools of 'education' and from peers and evil adults on social media. Read Runemasque's comment, all the way to the end. We can't control everything about what happens to our children, but we can surely do everything within our power to do so.
oh my ! Love children, but glad I don’t have young ones now., can’t stomach these updates

I just printed off the PDF from it. I am not from CO, but will include it in my prayers along with UT and FL (and of course our beloved country). Thank you for that link. Sometimes I flounder when praying for our leaders. This provides a wonderful guidepost.
IFA's website has tons of great resources! Spend some time browsing if you can...their writers tackle lots of tough subject matter and they put out prayer guides for specific issues regularly. National prayer calls are Tuesdays and Thursdays at 12:15pm EST. You can watch them live on their website, on their Facebook page or on Rumble.
I have been involved with IFA for a little over 2 years now. I honestly got involved because I liked the "intercessory intel" on what's happening in the country and the world. We examine everything through a spiritual lense. But, God had bigger plans for my involvement! I have become very involved in my state group (Florida) and am prayerfully considering taking on a bigger role. Seeing how God has answered so many of our prayers over the past couple of years is really so wonderful and rewarding. We know He hears us because we see the results over and over again! I truly hope you find it as encouraging as I do. God bless you!
Yes. But remember Sodom and Gomorrah. Lot and his family had to leave and not look back to remain untouched by the evil. It is hard to remain on the Godly path when surrounded by evil and depravity.
Cari, If you want to check out an IFA national prayer call today it will be broadcast live at 12:15pm EST on their website. You can also watch on their Facebook page or Rumble. Here's the link...it's featured right at the top of the main page:

You can also go back and watch previous broadcasts anytime!
I have the same problem in Washington state. It's falling off the deep end. We have invested so much work and money in our property that I can't even imagine selling and starting over somewhere else. We're getting too old. We will most likely move to another state when we finally decide to sell our farm and business and truly retire. For now, we're toughing it out in a rural area of western Washington.
Honestly, I think it's primarily the Washington State government who is captured and off the deep-end. Sure their are lefty crazies all over. . .but they are probably everywhere including Florida. I hope Team Freedom and Reality is able to take Washington State back and hold the ground in non compromised States. I do think the far left has been systematically infiltrating schools and government and that the Pacific coast States have been captured for decades.
Jean, I am also a Jean! I hear ya about investing time and $$ in a place and being at an age where change would be difficult. I’m in the same boat here in AK, a state that has been mostly conservative in the past. But it’s changing rapidly with unfortunate influences from the West coast seeping in. I don't like what I see coming yet haven’t the energy to stay and fight. I do what I can and live in a conservative area but we are eyeing a move when and if hubby can retire.
What part of WA are you in? We have a small farm north of Gig Harbor.
Hi Cari...I also live in “colorful” Colorado (funny how that slogan rings so true today). I am born and raised here...still live in my hometown (never lived anywhere else)...most of my family live in this state and I can’t fathom leaving...like you said, if we (who are of sound mind) leave, the state will surely flounder...yet, it’s embarrassing (and heartbreaking) living in this freak-show of a state!
Check out Idaho. Just met a ID State Senator last night (Tammy Nichols) who is fighting hard for decency in schools.
Are you able to put her into a private school? At least she will be getting a real education... and hopefully, good friends.
I’m upset Polis did this too, Cari! Also live in CO. Up to this point, he was behaving more moderate. (R’s) say leave blue states but CO has been our home for 40 years! Fortunately there are a lot of red areas here but... blue in government and surrounding all of the colleges (Denver, Boulder, Ft. Collins & Durango). SO DISAPPOINTED 😔

10 But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.
11 Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord.

Nefarious is excellent. Highly recommend. I found it profound and thought provoking, it is NOT a “scary” move like the Exorcist, etc
I looked it up and decided that I can’t see it.
Why not, Juliann?
I've seen it twice now. Was somewhat unaware of the subject matter (knew it was about demonic possession, but that was it.)
I don't go to movies; they disgust me with their secular propaganda.
But Nefarious is literally the best movie I've seen in 25 years or more. It puts forth the true nature of the final battle between the Carpenter and the demonic legion. AND, unlike many so-called "Christian" movies, it's world class in its production, writing and acting. (The lead actor, Sean Patrick Flanery, would get an Oscar if he weren't acting in a such as way as to expose the demonic rulers of this world.)
I may change my mind after your insight. Thanks for taking the time to comment on it.
I agree with everything Fred Bennett said. The trailer looked very scary to me, since I don't like horror films or psychological thrillers. But I read a review of it in The Federalist and decided to go. (Unfortunately, the article had some spoilers in it--they alerted the reader, but I read it anyway--and I wish I hadn't known a couple of things.) The movie is obviously about a scary subject--demonic possession--but the acting is phenomenal. There are a couple of difficult scenes, but nothing like the gratuitous violence in most movies, and I'd take an older teen to see it, unless I thought the subject of demonic possession would bother them.
Good decision. I wasted my time and money today based on these positive comments. It was the worst movie ever.
It is terrible, I regret spending my time and money. It was absolutely awful. The entire movie takes place as a conversation in a prison between two people. Worst movie I have ever seen.
Serious question for those who say "Don't see Nefarious": Why? Let us in on your reasoning.
Go see "His Only Son" instead.
Worst movie I ever saw. I am a 45 year old Christian woman. Maybe older male population finds this interesting? It is so boring. It is just a conversation. Why make this a movie? There’s nothing to see. They do nothing other than sit in the dark and talk. I did not find it interesting at all. I found it a waste of time.
It's the story of a worldwide demonic campaign to defeat Jesus Christ, as revealed in a demon who possesses a condemned convict. Along the way, a secular atheist psychiatrist becomes the tag-teamed guy to wrestle the demon.
Maybe not your cup of tea.
But I (and 97% of the confirmed reviewers on Rotten Tomatoes) loved it. (To be fair, the professional movie critics HATED it. Hmmm.)
It's like a cross (no pun intended) between C.S. Lewis Screwtape Letters, and The Exorcist.
To me it was a cross between The Exorcist and Silence of the Lambs, which also was mostly two people talking to each other in prison. I think that won a bunch of Academy Awards.
Just one comment among hundreds praising this movie: https://twitter.com/MattRay45857091/status/1648022707785830400?s=20
I might be okay with it as a book, from an intellectual Standpoint, but there is nothing to see other than a really ugly, twitching man sitting in the dark and yelling and then switching personalities.
OK, fair enough.
Perhaps you should go see a Marvel comic book superhero movie instead.
I prefer uplifting and beautiful movies. I don’t watch superhero movies. The Jesus movie with Greg Laurie is my kind of movie.
Saw it yesterday with a couple of friends…eye-opening!!!
Well done with amazing acting!
Steve Deace has brought the ‘wicked’ to the forefront!!!
I know about the underworld, and pretty. early in my life tried once, the ouija board. Scared me good, never did that again. FYI. Frank Peretti wrote a book years ago, This Present Darkness, a chapter vividly describes evil spirits on the ceiling above a church group meeting. Never got over the visual. It’s very real
He wrote great children's books as well. Our daughters listened to them on CD while we were traveling. Read This Present Darkness. Excellent!
I had never heard of Sean Patrick Flanery until I saw this movie.
His portrayal is flat out amazing. What a talented actor!
No, you don’t.
It’s a terrible movie. I only went to see it based on positive comments here. Big mistake.
Nefarious is about a serial killer on death row who in reality is possessed.
It's fiction; but it's the truest real-world fiction I've ever seen.
It’s just a conversation. They don’t do anything! Why is this even a movie? There’s nothing to see. They sit and talk. In the dark. In a prison. I found it insanely boring and ugly to watch.
I moved from CO to WA. I desperately want out of WA. If I were in CO, I'd be looking to leave. These states are going to hell in a handbasket at a dizzying pace. They're terrible places to raise kids. The question is, where can we safely go? Woke ideology is seeping into every state. It'll catch up with everyone sooner or later.
This is so true. We stay in commieville and choose to protect her by surrounding her with church and homeschool etc.
I think the state I live in, MO. (another flyover state) is generally conservative and still has traditional values. The 3 largest cities, St.Louis, Kansas City and Jefferson City are run by leftist mayors but overall the state government leans towards conservatism. Our 2 U.S. Senators are awesome and our state senator and our AG are very conservative as well. We live in a small village about 30 miles south of Kansas City and it’s very conservative and most people, not all, who live here embrace traditional values and are Christians. We weren’t born or raised here but we like the fact that it’s in the center of the country and we can get anywhere fairly easily and there’s a lot to offer. July and August are hot and humid but otherwise it’s pretty nice. My “home state” is WI and it’s quickly going to hell.
We lived in Seattle for 3 years amongst the crazy Left Wokesters. It was everywhere and you couldn't escape it. While there we got to know a couple with a 3 year old daughter, whom we "adopted" (not actually) as her "West Coast grandparents."
We loved that little girl. We babysat her so her mom and dad could go on date nights. We even took her to (the Traditional Latin) Mass with us.
But LGBTQ was everywhere and insidious and unstoppable. All the more so since her mother supported it.
The little girl was 5 when we moved back to flyover country. She must be going on 8 now. Without a doubt, the Trans / LGBTQ agenda has claimed her.
That's so tragic to hear. Our son is 8 and is fully aware that all this is a big lie. We talk about it all the time. I would love to move out of WA and think about it every day. Unfortunately we're stuck here for now as my husband's family is here.
So sad about Seattle. We lived there in 1969-70 and our daughter was born there. It was so lovely then and a wonderful place to live, nothing crazy going on. I like to remember it that way. My main complaint about it was all the rain!
Couldn't agree more; we went to Seattle on a 13-week contract and I fell in love with the PNW and refused to leave for nearly 3 years (2017-2020).
We adopted Seattle as well as that little girl. We loved them both and were stricken when we left.
Pray for her! God can open her eyes and protect her mind from that evil! Necer give up hope!
About the same time you posted this excellent suggestion, I was out walking my dogs and that appeared in my mind, along with the question "Don't you believe God can overcome this evil too?"
I learned a long time ago - don't ignore the Holy Spirit. When He speaks, I'd better listen up.
Say a prayer for M., please.
Will do!
You might enjoy reading Jonathan Cahn’s book “The Returns of the gods”. It is most revealing about the demonic activity that engulfing our once great nation.
It's next on my list! Just finished the Harbinger not long ago. He is an incredible theologian and author. The book blew my mind. I've listened to several podcasts with him on the new book and it is so intriguing and the correlation between those ancient "little g" gods and the demonic influence in today's culture is stunning.
“It’s time to remind you that all other vaccines DO prevent transmission.”
False: DTaP is a toxoid vaccine, only prevents symptoms does not suppress the D bacteria, T is not transmissible, and those who receive the aP receive original antigenic sin which is why fully vaccinated schools get B-parapertusis outbreaks. I believe the same goes for the IPV jab as well. Hep-B shot is a boondoggle as well. Never was clear if the rubella vaccine ever worked because symptoms are so non-specific. The defective mumps vaccine may prevent transmission when kids are young but fails to work when they are older and when they don’t want to catch it. Same goes for the worthless measles jab which we seem content with two+ jabs to keep it “working”. Chicken pox vaccine may actually work short term but seems to have been a real great way to up the shingles susceptibility.
Nick is correct. Many vaccines do not prevent infection or transmission. They neutralize toxins once infected. The only vaccines that could try to stake a claim on transmission/herd immunity are Hib, Varicella (chicken pox), and MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella).
Recommended reading: Turtles All the Way Down: Vaccine Science and Myth. https://www.amazon.com/Turtles-All-Way-Down-Vaccine-ebook/dp/B0B6S1ZNLC/
After reading Turtles I’ll never take another vaccine (or any type of injection unless it’s a matter of life or death). Most of them aren’t necessary and don’t work very well, and many are downright dangerous.
Bottom line: neither safe nor effective, but more importantly, not necessary.
I agree. I first read "Dissolving Illusions", which starts back into the 1800s and talks about the development of the smallpox vaccine and takes it from there. Then I read Turtles, and both are great in slightly different ways.
100%!! Had the TDap and was extremely sick with pertussis last year! They’re a crock of crap!!!!
I was one of the lucky ones to survive the DTP jabs mostly unscathed as a kid (allergies perhaps 🤔). I got conned into a DTaP jab when I was living in Nashville after they were offering free tetanus jabs after the flood. Doc says oh yeah adults are [always] getting “whooping cough” you should just get the 3 in 1. 🤦♂️.
I’m sure that stupid jab set me up for my eventual Hoshimoto’s injury after my last flu jab about 10 years ago. Worthless autoimmune causing boondoggles.
Best book on the topic!
Although I recently read that nasal carriage is still present after Hib. At which point I wondered why we give it. Allegedly, according to old pediatricians, it has resulted in less Hib meningitis. But now I wonder if something else has less to the decrease.
Before the HiB got introduced, breastfeeding was very effective in preventing infection and providing antibodies. There is a good talk by Dr. Suzanne Humphries on this.
Remember, a pediatrician’s primary job is to push drugs for profit and discourage breastfeeding.
I’m finally getting around to reading Robert Mendelssohn, M.D.’s heretical classic. How to raise a healthy child in spite of your doctor. 🤯 see
p. 19 Why Pediatricians are Dangerous...
My mother in law gave me that book 24 years ago. It made all the difference in how I raised/am raising my five kids. Bless her!
Ahhh, makes sense, as most of the very old pediatricians who saw lots of Hib meningitis also “grew up” practicing during the 60s and 70s when breastfeeding was eschewed and disdained. Thus perhaps they saw more Hib.
What a disaster. Tell moms to forego breastfeeding, watch their babies get sick with severe illness, come up with an injectable product to prevent said illness. What a joke.
Agreed! None of them are “safe or effective “ or prevent transmission..
When we see the outbreak of measles in schools, they never clarify that most students are already vaccinated.
Once u start looking at ALL of them it’s a sick feeling to see just how we have been lied to.
Turtles all the way down a great reference for anyone wanting to learn more.
They blame it on the few who aren’t vaccinated. WA state is currently trying to get rid of all vaccine exemptions.
I came to say the same. Many who have only recently discovered that covid vaccines were a complete failure, still remain uninformed on the other vaccines. It’s all a sham. Also, look at the timeline of when some of these vaccines rolled out and when the decline of transmission occurred. Conveniently, pharma takes credit for their snake oil stopping diseases, but many are just as ineffective as their failed covid vaccine.

My son and his wife were “ required” to get DTAP vaccines to visit their best friends newborn. Otherwise they would not be permitted to be around the baby. When I called my son on it he said-“ well, they said it was safe”. Clown World....
OMG. So sorry
Blackmail.
You may have thought of that. It’s another thing to say it out loud so to speak.
Not saying it’s not the parents’ prerogative to demand; it’s their baby. Just saying what it is since there is harm involved in the demand.
It’s also the choice of the uninformed to remain so. For that I empathize with your sorrow. Yes, sad.
Re: chicken pox vax, it also gives people a false sense of security that itchy rashes can't possibly be that. My kids caught full-blown CP from a vaxed one with a "mild rash" at school.
Me and my brothers got CP as kids. Was a 5 day school break for us. Pretty much the whole school got it that month and that was about it. These defective live virus vaccines just make susceptible adults.
At which time the dis-ease experience can be more debilitating.
The one chicken pox party in my life, elementary school, was moot since I was already immune, darn it.
Any of you Floridians have room down there for the rest of us or is the state bursting at its seams? You are the only place with sanity anymore!
Daytona area is still cheap. The secret is to live within 10 miles of the coast - the weather is much more moderate. There are a lot of white dudes with long blonde hair driving pickup trucks with Trump stickers and smoking cigarettes, so that may trigger some.

What happens in 2026 after Ron is done. A slow move back to the middle? A quick move back to Purple status? Stays the same free state?
Remains to be seen. Former Senate President and current Commissioner of Agriculture Wilton Simpson will run and possibly win, given his deep PAC connections-within-connections, his support for and by Big Sugar and Disney, and his cover as 'just a farmer like you.' He *authored* the red flag law and the infringement on 2A rights of 18-20 year olds in 2018. Still claims to be "pro-2A," like so many other liars.
Shoot, ya’ll need to get on the PCC bandwagon and secure the gains for the state, and the country.
I think you personally already know this. 🙂
Reminds me of the time when I drove East of the Cascades (WA state) and saw a battered old white Ford pickup truck with "T R U M P" hand-painted on the liftgate.
Wow, was that a shock!
“East of mountains” was always conservative until Microsoft and Amazon millionaires moved in. I often say Gates did more to change WA than Boeing. Hailing from the Okanogan (Okanagan in BC). Stuck in CA now.
But changing states comes with responsibilities. Check this out: https://americanmind.org/salvo/revolution-of-color/
Just read the article, FH, and I'm damned glad I did.
It is harrowing and exactly what will happen.

There were a LOT of Trump signs (and now FJB signs) east of the Cascades.
BFM, are you saying that the complexion of FL is changing? It’s no longer populated by rich elderly people of Israeli descent? 😂
Actually I love to visit your fair state, especially because my sister lives in Ft. Myers, but I wouldn’t want to live there. The climate is too hot and humid for me, and I love seasons that change and even occasional snow!
Come on down; just don’t Yankee our Free State of Florida! We may be redneck, but we like it this way and don’t care a whit how things are done up north!
This morning I saw a bumper sticker on a car that said, "Don't Texas My Virginia." I thought, boy, how many times have I said, "Don't California my Virginia"? I love it here and I would hate to see it turn into that wretched other state I used to call home. Though, I see a trickling in of similar ideas and it sends shudders through me.
That's an old theme. In the 1970s a popular one in Virginia was "Don't Fairfax Loudoun," referring to two (even half a century ago) affluent commuter counties directly west of Worsenington, DC. But, as you probably can guess, runaway suburban sprawl is precisely what happened. I grew up in the region. I was dismayed to see the green spaces gobbled up by runaway development. I moved away from there twenty years ago. I'll probably never return. No reason to.
Ironically, half of California is from somewhere else. We seem to get all of the narcissistic, money-gru by, identity thieving woke coders who have no morals. Lucky us!!
Watch carefully, the crazies are relentless and I think this writer shows just what they are up to, reminding me of Samantha Powers’ recent travels to Hungary and other culturally conservative Eastern European countries. https://americanmind.org/salvo/revolution-of-color/
There’s room! But the housing pricing is crazy high and not dropping like other parts of the Country! C’mon down! It’s awesome!
The housing prices are nuts about EVERYWHERE. We have looked in Idaho, NC, TX, TN - its all pretty much around 500-600k for anything that is decent. Its Cas going everywhere and driving up prices.
Don’t go to NC… that’s purple and may head blue… or at least they’re trying. Especially if you have kids that’ll be in school… all the colleges are woke there already.
SC, I think, is a better option.
The prices of housing in FL are staggering. Doubled, tripled in the last 2-3 years.
You can thank all the CA people leaving. Why people have to pay outrageous prices above asking I do not know!
Medical and political refugees within the USA… this is where we are today.

Good morning Jeff - keep up the great work. BTW, a couple days ago, a 23 ton truckload of contaminated dirt from East Palestine OH rolled over about 4 miles from town whilst headed to the hazardous waste repository. But of course, the official experts are telling us that there is nothing to be concerned with - because Science!
what they really mean is "trust the agenda" 🙏 Thanks for the info!
🙄
I’m so sorry. That stinks!
Depends on what it was contaminated with and the specifics.
Are you a HAZWOPER expert, too? So stunning and brave.
My job is hazmat, or the 4 letter acronym-CBRN.
Not an expert, just a mid level dude.
Been through Fema/OSHA, and a bunch of other certs. NIMS, IMS, all of that.
Man, that's great because it means we have some common ground!
I think each of the previous Reedy Creek board members who pushed through the 11th hour changes in favor of Disney should be prosecuted as well. I like that officials or board members be held responsible if their actions violate the law. Too many , like the soros DAs, get away with ignoring the law. I put them up with gang members and drug dealers. They need to be dealt with.
I wish the sobbing legislator and all democrats had as much apparent “love” for unborn humans. Where’s their humanity? Any legislator who wants to “go around the constitution” should be immediately removed from office in violation of their oath of office. I’m tired of these people swearing an oath with no intention of keeping it.
The charge for circumventing the Constitutions of both the United States and the state in which one has been elected to serve should be treason, punishable to the full extent of the law. Every. Single. Time.
We should at least be pointing out, vocally and as publicly as possible, when elected and appointed officials break their oaths of office. The examples are numerous and easy to make. I wrote about it the first time regarding Seattle City Commissioner Kshama Sawant, whose oath of office (on video) includes fidelity to the U.S. and Washington State Constitutions. It is child's play to demonstrate where her videotaped public comments demonstrate that she had broken her oath of office. Can any attorneys weigh in on how one would proceed against such officials? What are the lawful consequences of breaking one's oath of office?
As I've argued here before, oaths of office are not binding under law.
Non-lawyers often think that words have one meaning, while lawyers are trained to recognize that they usually have *many* meanings. I remember a Canadian Supreme Court opinion that logically reasoned wild moose were in fact the same thing as cattle.
My entire legal career revealed this dichotomy to me nearly everyday.
Assuming you're correct, it's why Shakespeare was right, about lawyers. I feel certain that the Founders, who wrote the words of the oath of office, didn't agree with you. Where did things get off-track, between then and now?
The famous "kill all the lawyers" quote from Shakespeare is spoken by a murdering, anti-intellectual demagogue villain - not a hero - who wants to lead the kingdom into tyranny. (Henry VI, Part 2). At least as far as the play is concerned, lawyers were the *heroes* who stood in opposition to tyranny.
As for the binding nature of the oath of office, to my knowledge federal law has never provided a law addressing a violation of the oath. The Constitution alone provides for the only remedy: impeachment and trial in the Senate. There is no penalty under federal or state law for "violating the oath of office" and never has been.
But apart from that, just look at the oath itself:
"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."
The first question is, how to enforce the massive weasel-word, drive-a-truck-through-it, get-out-of-jail-free exception, "to the best of my Ability"?
Second, how could we objectively determine whether someone has "preserve[d]. protect[ed] and defend[ed] the Constitution of the United States"?
The answer is: you can't, for the reason that these elements of the oath are subjective, i.e., to one man, (Pres. Lincoln) these would allow him to imprison newspaper editors who criticized him, and to another (Pres. Wilson) these same words allowed him to imprison those who spoke against the US involvement in WWI, and to yet another, (FDR) these allowed him to send Japanese American citizens to concentration camps.
Each of these men believed they were acting within their solemn duty to "defend the Constitution" (I'd disagree, but so what?). So, how are you ever going to convict them of a crime which has never existed?
You can't. The only remedy is impeachment.
PS: Although it has no bearing on the disputed question, my 7th great grandfather, Arthur Middleton, was a Founding Father. His signature on the Declaration of Independence right next to Thomas Jefferson.
He, like me, was a lawyer, educated at Cambridge and London Inns of Court. Unlike me, he paid dearly for his signature on that document.
Interesting and inspiring ancestry.
What if they espouse, support, vote for, socialism? Isn't that prima facie evidence of not "preserving, protecting, and defending the Constitution?" When they take that oath, they lie.
And both look like they take their sorrows out on buffets. Let them eat ze bugs! Too much greenhouse gases coming from both of them.

My first thought when I saw her crying was “Cartels got to her”. When you take money from evil, they expect you to get the job done. She is crying because she can not fail. She sold her soul.
Did you ever wonder where the name "Progressive" came from?
It was a late-19th / early-20th century political movement spurred on by people like Teddy Roosevelt, who wanted to find a way to move past (in other words, "PRO-gress" beyond) the restrictions on government power under the Constitution.
For all my former and current Michigan co-patriots, tomorrow, the Michigan house appropriations committee is voting on whether to send millions, (in the tune of 85 million) in our tax payer monies to the CCP Gotion battery plant being planned for Mecosta County, next to Big Rapids and Ferris State University. 300 Chinese Nationals are being shipped in to run the place. Word is Ferris State University will close, bought out by the Chinese and become a Chinese “education” center. A big rally was planned for Saturday, but in true “transparency” style, the appropriations vote was moved to a day ahead. Now that the Dems have taken over the Michigan Legislature, it’s convenient that this is being pushed through.
And on the southern 'border', thousands of Chinese men are now pouring in. There's lots of vids showing this now.
In the fictional books, Man of Lawlessness, and Son of Perdition, the Chinese invade the USA from Mexico and Canada, cut the country in half. They were after the mineral rights after a secret deal with head of Homeland Security. (who, in my opinion, in real life was HRC as Sec of State).
"China is a bastion of traditional masculinity"
-Conservative grifters
The other day I ran across across articles on how China banned "sissy men" from performing in public as they want to encourage nationalistic masculinity. https://theconversation.com/how-sissy-men-became-the-latest-front-in-chinas-campaign-against-big-tech-167328
Chris Martenson, on Peak Prosperity, has been following China's preparations to go on a war footing. Our institutions are discouraging traditional masculinity on every level, as embodied in that freak in a mumu (my sister and I as teenagers thought the VERY worst thing that could ever happen to a person would be to think a party was a luau and show up in a mumu, the total social annihilation of it lol), and one wonders how much the CCP is behind this destruction of masculinity, the long march through the institutions.
They're behind a lot of anti-American groups, just like Russia is.
The ChiComs are on the long road, while we’ve no idea what’s going on.
Its a shame that this current administration isn't even on a bike path much less any type of road, as the CCP remains slow and steady in overtaking our society.
😞 Michigan is headed in the wrong direction. God help us.
God is the only one who will get this country out of this mess. Until our churches, pastors and priests start preaching the American Constitution and story from the pulpits, we lose. God’s people will endure but we need to be involved, locally now, but churches get involved in your communities
They should be preaching God’s Word and calling for the church to repent.
Both/and. Before the control tool of 'tax exempt' status was used against churches (well, conservative ones, at least), pastors preached on the connection between God's Word and the principles of liberty. One example only:
The pulpit of the American Revolution : or, The political sermons of the period 1776

Fascinating how many sermons were delivered on liberty, freedom and resisting tyranny. History has been rewritten for so long, thank you, Wallbuilders for preserving so many original documents so we may view the Founding Fathers intents.

It really enraged me that Governor Pink Pussyhat just allowed the passing of kids in third grade who don't meet the reading proficiency level required by law as it might damage them emotionally. This is racism masquerading as (weaponized) compassion. I think democrats take a course in it, listening to Arden and Breathy Clone boy of Canada. Not let's ask the engulfing WEF Urban Transformation squad to fund some tutoring and after school programs, let's just condemn more kids to functional illiteracy.
Former here. Sad to see what’s happening there and sad for my friends that still live there.
Under CCP rules, any CCP company MUST have a "committee" space to discuss/receive updates/orders from the CCP located within the physical location. How nice, just your local CCP Club! And the demoncrats are all good with that because of the $ that will line their personal pockets. So easy to sell out your country for a fist full of $.

This is off topic, but a question that has been nagging at me for a couple of days.
If Fox is held accountable for "lies" relating to voting machines, is there a legal theory that can be used to bring a massive class action lawsuit against CNN, NBC, NPR, Twitter, Facebook, etc... for the lies they intentionally told, and truths intentionally withheld, to allow Biden to get installed as POTUS? If 17% of voters say they would have voted for Trump had they been allowed to know the truth about Hunter's laptop, that seems to me to be a starting point. The injuries - economic, medical, psychological - tens of millions have suffered as a DIRECT result of their lies would be in the trillions of dollars.
That would require honest fighters in the Republican party.
They are as scarce as hen's teeth.
got another theory for you. if fox is accountable for "lies" related to the theft of the 2020 election, can coffee & covid be held accountable for "lies" related to the lethal injection campaign? or tranny "rights?"
Great question!
For the record, ALL commercial nuclear power plants contain “sensitive nuclear technology.” It is complicated, but it is the law. FWIT, Unit 5 of Ukraine’s Zaporozhye nuclear plant was fully loaded with Westinghouse fuel in 2019. The fuel came from a Westinghouse facility in Sweden that was owned by the Japanese company, Toshiba. The plant technology is from Russia. This is a game of semantics, nothing more. A distraction.

Florida Passes Bill Enacting Death Penalty for Sexual Abusers of Children

The new real Democratic party is a Bolshevik regime that has taken the gloves off. The whole idea of life-long professional politicians is anathema to American liberty and should be outlawed by term limits.

Kudos for calling them by their actual name. Obama ran all of the leftists and liberals out of the Democratic party and left only Bolsheviks remaining . This insanity we are seeing today could not exist otherwise. They are all disciples of Soros and Marx , and by extension, satan. Nasty narcissistic people . We must not let them control the language. Take it back, as you have done here. Every. Single. Time. Fight fire with fire.
Trivia point, Adam Schiff's multi-great grandpa was a NY banker that gave Trotsky $$ to travel to Russia for the Bolshevik revolution. Long histories of these families with communism/marxism/kill you-ism.
But then we need the same for the unelecteds - staffers, bureaucrats, etc., in both the executive and legislative branches, or that's who will have the institutional knowledge and memory and run circles around what would then be the elected 'temporary staff.'

They should have to retire after 20 years in any combination of federal elected or appointed office except S Ct.
Seasoned enough to be effective, not too long that they build a dynasty.
No pension if they do not serve 20 years, just like the military. Or at least prorate the pension for the number of years. Even a one-term congressperson gets full pension for life.
Medical benefits should be same as any federal employee, not royal benefits.
