I am currently reading Senator Josh Hawley's new book, Manhood. Senator Hawley approaches the topic from a biblical standpoint. The battle isn't so much between good and evil as it is between the culture of narcissism or, Epicureanism as he views it, and preserving basic societal constructs such as the family and the traditional roles of mother and father. In summary, Senator Hawley's thesis is that 'Dad Energy' is the antidote to most of our contemporary problems.
I like Josh Hawley, but I believe Greg Laurie’s take: “Satan is primarily the one responsible for the gross perversion, injustice, violence. The devil has infiltrated politics, the media, religion and has brought about a delusion. But the clock is ticking for the devil. Satan knows his time is limited. His destruction is sure, he will be cast into hell to be tortured and he would like to take as many with him as possible. For now he is taking people captive to do his will , see 2 Tim 2:26 and is binding the minds of those who do not believe (2 Cor 4:4)
I just said this very same statement about Lucifer today while talking to the office person at the new doctors' group I started using last year--they're "off the grid" and, therefore, have NO hospital privileges--even though all of the practitioners have gone through the required schooling, taken the Hippocratic Oath, and have their licenses to practice medicine. BUT NO HOSPITAL PRIVILEGES...I told the office person, "They're KILLING us ....legally". Her response..."It's NOT legal"---I told her I hope that REAL doctors who believe in "doing no harm" will start building their OWN hospitals that do NOT require listening to the CDC and taking Federal government funds..Her response is, "It's happening". That gave me some HOPE!!
There used to be some real Christian hospitals. My daughter was born in a small RC one with a cucifix in every room, etc as was my husband. They went bankrupt around the same time CVS put all privately owned pharmacies out of business by opening up one every mile.
WE are an oligarchy of corporate and other influences, not a democracy. (Princeton study 2014; conveniently hidden from google searches)
There are still "indy" practitioners and pharmacies--but you have to hunt for them and travel 50-60 miles each way. Most people don't want to pay "out of pocket" and travel long distances to get prescriptions filled. Thankfully--the pharmacies are usually "online" as well as B & M stores so your prescriptions can be shipped to you. Can't "ship" physicians to you though!
YES...these doctors/nurses are all Mennonites and they treat the Amish a great deal. You know...ALL of the Amish they treated for the Wuhan Virus (which were very few in number) did NOT go to the hospital--they were treated with Ivermectin and supplementation and they all recovered--NOT ONE DEATH!
He was a speaker at one of the FreePA meetings held in 2021 - FreePA is a grassroots freedom (medical and personal) advocacy group that sprang up in PA as a result of the draconian DEMONratic Gov. Wolf's mandates (we even had a special election in 2021 to make certain we would NEVER go through this again - the measure to prevent Governor's from extending the "Emergency Health" act for more than 3 weeks passed by a slim margin--but at least it PASSED (PRAISE GOD). I believe you just have to start asking around online to "Medical Freedom Advocacy" groups - perhaps the FLCCC group that is composed of many different types of medical practitioners would be a good "starting source", Lisa. HTH you in your search.
I'm very interested in this issue. My understanding is that federal regulations make it very very difficult for anyone outside these huge hospital conglomerates to function legally. It is terribly unjust. I'm glad some are fighting to change this!
I am sure if such a legislation passed in Congress it's because our legislators were "paid off" by the corporations who bought out all the "smaller practices" and "hospitals/care facilities" around the country. This all started in the 1990's and by the time I returned to PA from CA in late 2000--NONE of the smaller practices were available--they had all been bought off! IT IS A DISGRACE and a DIRECT VIOLATION OF OUR CONSTITUTION AND THE HIPPOCRATIC OATH.
I also believe the devil's time is almost up and he is working maniacally to inflict as much pain and suffering as possible before he's taken down. Indeed this was foretold by Pope Leo XIII in 1884. He heard satan and God talking and Satan was given more power to destroy the Church. But we know that the gates of hell will not prevail against her. If anyone is interested in the other prophetic visions and miracles on this topic let me know and I can link them too. https://ucatholic.com/vision-of-pope-leo
Yep, Satan wants family to dissolve and his leftists buddies are all too eager to help. People (even blacks) have been arguing for over a decade that the main problem for blacks is the loss of the nuclear family and no dads being around.
Coincidence that Bill Cosby advocated for black fatherhood in marriage and was about to buy NBC before his Trump-like, never ending accusations and legal woes started? The same demonic people who are pushing perversity on us now, were behind the breakup and breakdown of the Black family and community.
I think that he may have done something bad many decades ago. I llalso know Bill Clinton, Joe Biden and other democrats have, but for some reason 🤔 hmmm..they never get hounded, accused, tried, or convicted. Why is that? Why do women come out at opportune moments after so many decades of silence to accuse a man? Who is finding them and paying them?
Perhaps that was his intent, but the wording, "It's not so much about good vs evil" is what I am referring to. It is 100 percent about good vs evil. I don't know a Christian that would try to down play that.
Saddest thing; watching poor single moms of the ‘unfavored’ race trying to deal with middle school officials in regards to the mistreatment of their sons. Pulling them out to homeschool, though you knew the mom likely worked at least two jobs and had no plan. At least her son wouldn’t have to be terrified every day.
True. But the moms aren’t saints. They are being used by the devil too. My child is 9, and Oddly; I am seeing a lot of DADs who do more of the parenting than the moms! I know of 2 moms who were barely involved until the child got older and easier. Moms who split right after giving birth and dads did all the work. A lot of these are older men (40 to 45ish) who got with young women (24 to 26ish) to have their first child.
You are right. I didn’t mean to imply that there are no bad moms or that it’s always the mom doing the job alone. I would say statistically it’s more often the mom by far, but I’m no expert.
We, supposedly believers in God’s power, allow Satan to operate freely. We have the supreme power at our disposal if we’ll only use it. It’s truly up to us; God won’t force it on us. If not us, who? If not now, when? If not, why?
Yes, the current feminization of young men is the root of a lot of the issues in this country. A lot of good young men, but the amount of weak, feminized, fairylike young men is disgusting. So sad, because this is not how men should behave.
I think a lot of men went right along with it thinking they would increase the household income and wealth. Now people think it takes two incomes just to make it through.
I hope I didn’t sound discouraging to families who want the traditional way. I’m a huge cheerleader for someone to have an eye or an ear on the children at all times. I have 2 daughters who are stay at home moms and a new DIL who is gung-ho to become one.
Stuff is just stuff. This society puts far too much emphasis on owning stuff.
I heard a rant on Chris Plante's radio show that he shared from some liberal woman on TikTok - she was complaining that it was impossible to find a masculine man who was also polite and chivalrous (that was not the term she used but can't remember exactly) who was not a CONSERVATIVE (perish the thought, lol). Plante said the rant has gone viral, so I guess a lot of tiktockers must agree. I have been out of the dating scene for a very long time but just observing young men in general I would tend to agree with her. Although I will say my son in law is a masculine liberal but I am not really sure he is as liberal as my daughter is, think he keeps his mouth shut to keep the peace.
With 70% of kids in the black community, 23% of US children overall growing up in single parent households (don't know the breakdown but guessing predominantly the mother) vs ~8% of children worldwide - it appears that some how dads, and their dad energy have been neutralized/taken out of the picture in this country. I'm sure 'experts are baffled' but I blame the perverse incentives baked into the welfare system combined with the removal of God, and family as bulwarks of the culture for creating a huge dad energy deficit. On purpose no doubt.
So it's even more critical that those dads who have done the right thing by staying in their kids' lives to step up. Glad to see it happening!
I am so glad the Muslims out numbered the pride and Antifa parade! Not all Armenians are Muslims many are Christians. I have old friend moved back to north California to be with his family. They are brave people. Armenia was invaded by Turks his family moved to Iran. Part flew out but he was left with his family during Shaw years. They crossed the mountains on foot between Iran and Turkey hiding along the way to avoid border patrol. He said there was a very heavy man in his group having trouble with the climb he kept slipping making rocks tumbles and possibly alerting patrol. The smugglers told him one more slip and they would shoot him before Iranian border control shot all of them. He said he’d never seen a fat man move so light of feet. Good people glad they stood up against this nonsense. Do what you want to do just don’t force it on me.
Jeez egad drat, Armenians are NOT Muslims, period full stop! 🤦 Their troubled history includes the outright *genocide* at Muslim hands, just a short century back 😢
🗨 The Armenian Apostolic Church [...] Part of Oriental Orthodoxy, it is one of the most ancient Christian institutions. The Kingdom of Armenia was *the first state* to adopt Christianity as its official religion under the rule of King Tiridates III of the Arsacid dynasty in the early 4th century.
"As of 2011, most Armenians in Armenia are Christians (97%)[1] and are members of the Armenian Apostolic Church, which is one of the oldest Christian churches."
..
According to the Census of 2011, the composition of people identifying with religions in Armenia is the following: Christianity 2,862,366 (99%), of whom 2,797,187 are Armenian Apostolic (97%); 29,280 Evangelical; 13,996 Catholics—both Armenian Catholic Church and Latin Church—8,695 Jehovah's Witness; 7,587 Eastern Orthodox (Russian, Ukrainian, Georgian, Greek); 2,874 Molokan (non-Orthodox Russians); 1,733 Assyrian Church of the East (Nestorian); 733 Protestant; 241 Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints; 23,374 Yazidi (0.8%); 5,146 Pagan (0.2%); 812 Muslim; 5,299 people of other religions (0.2%); 121,587 no response (4.0%).
ETA Just dawned on me: 'tis dazzling illustrative that incompatible religions find 'emselves on the same side of frontline, in a raging existential battle against the evil perversion spreading like a plague.
I took Jeff to be pointing to the combination of two cultural systems, now reacting in tandem to oppose the new, secularist religion. I guess I missed it if he implied Armenians are largely Muslim, but that's a mistake I don't think he could ever have intended.
I think what we're seeing here is the stark, cold fact that those who have been through genocide are hardened in will as well as faith and that it is the softness resulting from comfort and wealth that has turned the largely Christian American culture into weaklings who espouse the church of nice rather than the one founded by the Savior of mankind who said at the time that He brought a sword, not peace.
🗨 Niceness is a perverted inversion of real kindness, in that it is fundamentally self-centred. The objective of niceness is to be liked. True kindness or loving compassion means wanting what is genuinely best for others. True kindness must often necessitate saying “no.” It therefore requires a willingness to accept conflict.
Totally agree with this - most of those I know who play in this space of "nice" and "tolerant" are some of the most unkind and selfish people I know. They wouldn't lift a finger for another person. You won't see them in the soup kitchens any time soon.
Armenian families have been through the fire and are a hard people not to be crossed. Antifa are leftist bullies who will have their asses handed to them if they cross the Armenian immigrant.
Just reread that section and Jeff repeatedly references Muslim parents in the part where he is talking about pushback from the Armenian community, no mention of Christians at all. It certainly makes it sound like Armenians are Muslims, from the wording.
I agree with you on the whole but to me, at the very least, it did sound like he was implying the Armenians were Muslims. That should be clarified, because it sounds like a lot of other people understood the same thing.
Perhaps some Muslim men were also there protesting, and were erroneously identified as Armentian. I saw an American Muslim man interviewed recently on some show, and he expressed the same kind of concerns we all have for what is going on and had started some sort of organization to combat it. Perhaps Muslims are waking up to the dangers to their community as well.
Yes! Forgot to mention that! Sad history but some may have converted. I thought my friend was Muslim for a long time. He looked it. Tall Arab like features fair skin he was super attractive. Thanks been a long time since I thought about him. May reach out see how he is doing.
I heard back. He said he had many friends at that protest but he was not there. They going after the school board to stop the indoctrination. He has two kids in school grade 5 and 8. Says the stuff being taught is ridiculous. Says his family will come visit so maybe I get meet them all. I thought for sure he would have been at the parade protesting but no couldn’t make it.
Very easy on the eyes and very manly sort of guy. It wasn’t meant to be. He had divorced a Cuban woman he has a son here. He moved back to Northern California after his father died. He wanted to be close to his people and wanted to marry his own kind. Oh well. Was a nice friend. I don’t even know if his number is still current going to see if should delete it out of contacts
Ahh, 'forgot to mention that!' Must be no big deal then, just 'sad history' with no relevance in our brand-new brave world. Moreover, 'some may have converted' 🤯😶
No I just simply forgot the history at moment since I have not spoken to my friend in a long time. I saw a movie as well. I just forgot. I am Cuban not Armenian read about the genocide in guns germs and steal but one has limited space for all the information one mind can carry sometimes you just forget.
Happened in Spain many Jews and Muslims were forced to convert or leave or were killed. Not unlikely some have converted and there 811 Muslims per census provided by another c&c reader. So from from a logic perspective to say all Armenians are Christian is not technically correct as there are some may have converted for whatever geopolitical personal or survival reasons.
People forget the travesties Cubans went thru during the Castro revolution I don’t take it personally. They simply just don’t remember or where never told.
I was never educated on the Armenian genocide. I learned it on my own. Is it my fault or does the belittle history? I don’t think so.
Clearly no one learns from history as it repeats itself unfortunately. Maybe 20 years ago I read about the plight of the Armenians I was curious about the culture and history. The book guns germs and steal looks at history from an evolutionary perspective was interesting. I in no way meant to disrespect the history just in my mind I had forgotten that complicated and tragic part. History has so many complicated and hurtful portions remembering isn’t enough the world needs to learn from it.
But this new push has nothing to do with the freedom to be gay. It is a Marxist mindset to undermine the family nucleus. It part of the indoctrination for all us into Marxism. There have been homosexuals since the start of time. It’s just hasn’t been pushed on the rest of us. This is a Segway into something else having nothing to do homosexuals or the rest of the alphabet. Personally the rest of the alphabet is the problem they are part of mental issues no one treats or addresses. Just accepting the men as woman and woman as men and it’s not healthy for these people Bc still can’t be happy to be something you are not.
Yep, heard that one, too. If that's the case, why didn't and why haven't the homosexuals who just want to be left alone tell the alphabet club to cease and desist with this nonsense? Why aren't they being more outspoken now?
I believe the whole of the alphabet group (and aboriginal peoples as well) are being used to further an agenda that has nothing to do with their human rights. Once whatever the people behind all this have achieved their target goals, they will be kicked to the curb just like white Christians and other religions. Then everybody will be the same with the same human rights - none.
Absolutely, just like the blacks are getting kicked to the curb. Democrats have been promising blacks a better life for decades and not much is changing for them. Just promises to get the votes.
The advocacy is being pushed by the government, elite billionaires and pharmaceutical companies and hospital systems who are strategically positioned to make hundreds of billions on the backs of all these mentally confused and vulnerable people and kids
It’s not the small repressed trans minority- actually… advocating for the most part
Same as BLM
Much of what we see is well organized, highly funded psychological operation
Started by Clinton’s
Continued by Obama’s … and now Joe Biden … did u see the White House flags??
Government backed and funded agenda
There’s a lot of power and money behind this agenda
Homosexuals will never have the effect on the nuclear family that Uncle Sam did. In the Great Society, (LBJ), poor families, many black, could qualify for government aid if there was no adult male in the household. These were the days when it was difficult for blacks to get decent jobs. Push the males out of the house and they would qualify for welfare, which most people desperately needed. Homosexuals were also horribly abused in our earlier history. In New York City the police would go to a gay nightclub every Saturday night just to beat them up. I think it was Stonewalls? One night the gays fought back... Homosexuals have had to fight for years just to get the freedoms that others took for granted. Sometimes I detect a veiled anti-gay bias on these threads. Somehow their sin is worse than other sins? Well it’s not. We all need to get the planks out of our eyes and look at the propaganda. They’re coming for Christians. Remember when Al Gore said they might help to help Christians to another level? I’m still waiting for that shoe to drop....
Their sin is also not better than any one else’s sin. The scriptures are very clear on a man not lying with a man or a woman with a woman. Why would anyone want to offend God? Our lifespans go quickly by and then we go somewhere.
The problem is the homosexual agenda forced their lifestyle into everything, into our faces, destroyed marriage and opened the door to what we have now. It’s all the related.
There are Texas small towns now that are forbidding Christians from CHRISTMAS parades and encouraging gay / trans parade floats. Not just big cities! That’s what the homosexual lifestyle led society to.
They must separate themselves from LGBTxyz or they continue to be part of the current problem.
My family and many friends are personally dealing with the tragedy this lifestyle brings so I speak from firsthand experience.
Kinda like all the battles women have fought and are still fighting for equal rights. Only now, women also have to fight men who want to pretend to be women. The irony...
Don’t think you are wrong , agree. My friend was not he told me the sad story. The Armenians try to marry only other Armenians to expand their numbers. You’d have to think some converted to survive. Look at Spain it was filled with Muslims Jews and Christian Isabella either made the Jews and Muslims covert or she killed them or kicked them out of Spain. My family back on the day converted to catholic.
Whoa! Armenians are NOT Muslim! They are one of the oldest Christian communities. They were celebrating Christ when we were still living in mud huts all over Europe.
We’ve seen a lot of Christian and Muslim dads stepping up and attending Parental Rights rallies and protests here in Denver. The people, ALL people, have had enough of this ridiculousness. It gives me hope 🥰🙏.
They will also be labeled as terrorists, watch. f.b.eye will arrest anyone who stands up for our children, who stands up against the gov steamroller narrative.
To remove parental rights- then kids are merely wards of the state and it’s much easier to indoctrinate them. Control them. Prey on them. The agenda is that dark.
One funny comment I read, given it was Antifa and Middle Easterners brawling, the police were conflicted about whose side exactly they were supposed to be on.
Rich white trash Marxist college kids or ‘people of color’.
The public school feedback loop: parents trust teachers and administrators they’ve never met & know nothing about, parents find out (too late) that the teachers are indoctrinating or harming their children, parents protest, parents demand said teachers change their ways so they can force their kids to spend time with the abusers... and the loop continues with each new issue. Ultra progressive indoctrination, covid regulations... Maybe all the “for liberty” groups can exercise real liberty and jump out of the loop. Many hours of wasted time fighting abusers to force your innocent kids back into their care. It’s not working.
A long time ago I heard the head of a homeschool group say something that stuck with me: You can't put your child in government schools for 15-16 years+ and not expect them to think - to some extent or another - that government is the answer to most problems. That said, things aren't much better in many private schools.
I agree. Many private schools have been turned into reform schools. Sadly, many of the kids in our local private school were kicked out of public school and brought the culture with them. Not surprisingly, many of them were expelled from the private school within the first year. Another great quote:
“We cannot continue to send our children to Caesar for their education and be surprised when they come home as Romans.”
"Dad energy is different that Mom energy, but often necessary and very effective."
Imagine if Moms4Liberty were enjoined by Dads4Liberty. Look out lefty school boards!

There are many compound pharmacies that are private.

I took ivermectin for my second case of covid. It absolutely works- for me. No doubt about it.
What state are you in?
Unfortunately a rabid BLUE state- PA!
They will have to do this and we need this if all that is projected comes to fruition like jab tracking and halting of transactions.
Where did you find your dr? I need a new one.

I agree with that! I first heard that from Candace Owens, the beautiful and brilliant black conservative Christian!
I just read that YouTube just banned Candace.
Coincidence that Bill Cosby advocated for black fatherhood in marriage and was about to buy NBC before his Trump-like, never ending accusations and legal woes started? The same demonic people who are pushing perversity on us now, were behind the breakup and breakdown of the Black family and community.
Youndon’t think Bill Cosby is a rapist and pedophile?
I think that he may have done something bad many decades ago.

Why do women come out at opportune moments after so many decades of silence to accuse a man? Who is finding them and paying them?
Razorfist has an excellent video addressing the Cosby issue. He’s on Rumble , bitchute and last resort- you tube
Josh Hawley seems to be using more secular words to get to same point without turning off non religious and irreligious.
Perhaps that was his intent, but the wording, "It's not so much about good vs evil" is what I am referring to. It is 100 percent about good vs evil. I don't know a Christian that would try to down play that.
Satan has been hard at work getting rid of dad for several decades now. He knows what their potential for the good of mankind is.
Saddest thing; watching poor single moms of the ‘unfavored’ race trying to deal with middle school officials in regards to the mistreatment of their sons. Pulling them out to homeschool, though you knew the mom likely worked at least two jobs and had no plan. At least her son wouldn’t have to be terrified every day.

You are right. I didn’t mean to imply that there are no bad moms or that it’s always the mom doing the job alone. I would say statistically it’s more often the mom by far, but I’m no expert.

*Blinding the minds of those who do not believe
What is a woman? Lefties don't know... but that's old news.
Lefties are also stumped by 'What is a man'? No idea!
Science is evolving at record levels these days.
But in WHICH direction ?
I guess that is what "transhumanism" is: neither male nor female. They want to have no distinctions. It's part of their plan.
Yes, the current feminization of young men is the root of a lot of the issues in this country. A lot of good young men, but the amount of weak, feminized, fairylike young men is disgusting. So sad, because this is not how men should behave.
It starts further back from that in the sexual revolution and “feminism”. Women insisting we can be like men and should go to work.
I think a lot of men went right along with it thinking they would increase the household income and wealth. Now people think it takes two incomes just to make it through.
In truth it does in some areas. But you can also sacrifice. Its a lot harder to make it for sure.
I hope I didn’t sound discouraging to families who want the traditional way. I’m a huge cheerleader for someone to have an eye or an ear on the children at all times. I have 2 daughters who are stay at home moms and a new DIL who is gung-ho to become one.

😂🤣yeah, I know a man or two who do that!
Sixteen years ago I moved from a rural area to a big city. Family issues. The difference in male behavior absolutely stunned me.
With 70% of kids in the black community, 23% of US children overall growing up in single parent households (don't know the breakdown but guessing predominantly the mother) vs ~8% of children worldwide - it appears that some how dads, and their dad energy have been neutralized/taken out of the picture in this country.

I watched the mass exodus of moms from the home in dismay. It went like wildfire! Then the divorces started.
Truth.
Thank you posting his book title. I’m almost finished with it tonight. And having my husband and son read it.
What a thesis! He is one of my favorite senators! Shocking…. there are some honest good ones!
Would you recommend his book?
Yes. I also recommend his book, The Tyranny of Big Tech, that he published in 2021.
Couldn't agree more.
I am so glad the Muslims out numbered the pride and Antifa parade! Not all Armenians are Muslims many are Christians. I have old friend moved back to north California to be with his family. They are brave people. Armenia was invaded by Turks his family moved to Iran. Part flew out but he was left with his family during Shaw years. They crossed the mountains on foot between Iran and Turkey hiding along the way to avoid border patrol. He said there was a very heavy man in his group having trouble with the climb he kept slipping making rocks tumbles and possibly alerting patrol. The smugglers told him one more slip and they would shoot him before Iranian border control shot all of them. He said he’d never seen a fat man move so light of feet. Good people glad they stood up against this nonsense. Do what you want to do just don’t force it on me.
Jeez egad drat, Armenians are NOT Muslims, period full stop! 🤦 Their troubled history includes the outright *genocide* at Muslim hands, just a short century back 😢
🗨 The Armenian Apostolic Church [...] Part of Oriental Orthodoxy, it is one of the most ancient Christian institutions. The Kingdom of Armenia was *the first state* to adopt Christianity as its official religion under the rule of King Tiridates III of the Arsacid dynasty in the early 4th century.
You are correct.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religion_in_Armenia
"As of 2011, most Armenians in Armenia are Christians (97%)[1] and are members of the Armenian Apostolic Church, which is one of the oldest Christian churches."
..
According to the Census of 2011, the composition of people identifying with religions in Armenia is the following: Christianity 2,862,366 (99%), of whom 2,797,187 are Armenian Apostolic (97%); 29,280 Evangelical; 13,996 Catholics—both Armenian Catholic Church and Latin Church—8,695 Jehovah's Witness; 7,587 Eastern Orthodox (Russian, Ukrainian, Georgian, Greek); 2,874 Molokan (non-Orthodox Russians); 1,733 Assyrian Church of the East (Nestorian); 733 Protestant; 241 Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints; 23,374 Yazidi (0.8%); 5,146 Pagan (0.2%); 812 Muslim; 5,299 people of other religions (0.2%); 121,587 no response (4.0%).
Thank you for that, I was surprised and confused that people were taking about Armenians being Muslims.
To be fair, it's Jeff who set the tone 😢
ETA Just dawned on me: 'tis dazzling illustrative that incompatible religions find 'emselves on the same side of frontline, in a raging existential battle against the evil perversion spreading like a plague.
You’re right and that was a mistake on his part. Glad for the corrections here and I am sure if he sees them he’ll edit his post to make it right.
I took Jeff to be pointing to the combination of two cultural systems, now reacting in tandem to oppose the new, secularist religion. I guess I missed it if he implied Armenians are largely Muslim, but that's a mistake I don't think he could ever have intended.
I think what we're seeing here is the stark, cold fact that those who have been through genocide are hardened in will as well as faith and that it is the softness resulting from comfort and wealth that has turned the largely Christian American culture into weaklings who espouse the church of nice rather than the one founded by the Savior of mankind who said at the time that He brought a sword, not peace.
🗨 Niceness is a perverted inversion of real kindness, in that it is fundamentally self-centred. The objective of niceness is to be liked. True kindness or loving compassion means wanting what is genuinely best for others. True kindness must often necessitate saying “no.” It therefore requires a willingness to accept conflict.
👌😊
Very true. Niceness is also self-serving often in that it provides a screen for cowardice.
Totally agree with this - most of those I know who play in this space of "nice" and "tolerant" are some of the most unkind and selfish people I know. They wouldn't lift a finger for another person. You won't see them in the soup kitchens any time soon.
Armenian families have been through the fire and are a hard people not to be crossed. Antifa are leftist bullies who will have their asses handed to them if they cross the Armenian immigrant.
I confess to greatly enjoying the video of Antifa punks getting pummeled and beat up. It's about time!
Oh, please, yes Lord! From your keyboard to God’s ears and on to the Antifa asses!
Just reread that section and Jeff repeatedly references Muslim parents in the part where he is talking about pushback from the Armenian community, no mention of Christians at all. It certainly makes it sound like Armenians are Muslims, from the wording.

I agree with you on the whole but to me, at the very least, it did sound like he was implying the Armenians were Muslims. That should be clarified, because it sounds like a lot of other people understood the same thing.
Looks like your words took the highway straight into Jeff's ear 😉

Perhaps some Muslim men were also there protesting, and were erroneously identified as Armentian. I saw an American Muslim man interviewed recently on some show, and he expressed the same kind of concerns we all have for what is going on and had started some sort of organization to combat it. Perhaps Muslims are waking up to the dangers to their community as well.
That is certainly a possibility. I wouldn’t be surprised.
This is beautiful. I did not know. Thank you for sharing.
Yes! Forgot to mention that! Sad history but some may have converted. I thought my friend was Muslim for a long time. He looked it. Tall Arab like features fair skin he was super attractive. Thanks been a long time since I thought about him. May reach out see how he is doing.
😂🤣Given that description, I might want to reach out myself.
I heard back. He said he had many friends at that protest but he was not there. They going after the school board to stop the indoctrination. He has two kids in school grade 5 and 8. Says the stuff being taught is ridiculous. Says his family will come visit so maybe I get meet them all. I thought for sure he would have been at the parade protesting but no couldn’t make it.
Very easy on the eyes and very manly sort of guy. It wasn’t meant to be. He had divorced a Cuban woman he has a son here. He moved back to Northern California after his father died. He wanted to be close to his people and wanted to marry his own kind. Oh well. Was a nice friend. I don’t even know if his number is still current going to see if should delete it out of contacts
Ahh, 'forgot to mention that!' Must be no big deal then, just 'sad history' with no relevance in our brand-new brave world. Moreover, 'some may have converted' 🤯😶
No I just simply forgot the history at moment since I have not spoken to my friend in a long time. I saw a movie as well. I just forgot. I am Cuban not Armenian read about the genocide in guns germs and steal but one has limited space for all the information one mind can carry sometimes you just forget.
Happened in Spain many Jews and Muslims were forced to convert or leave or were killed. Not unlikely some have converted and there 811 Muslims per census provided by another c&c reader. So from from a logic perspective to say all Armenians are Christian is not technically correct as there are some may have converted for whatever geopolitical personal or survival reasons.
People forget the travesties Cubans went thru during the Castro revolution I don’t take it personally. They simply just don’t remember or where never told.
I was never educated on the Armenian genocide. I learned it on my own. Is it my fault or does the belittle history? I don’t think so.
🗨 There’s no shame in ignorance, only in complacently accepting it.
Sure! 🙂
That said, grasping at technicalities is—technically 😏—complacency-adjacent.
Clearly no one learns from history as it repeats itself unfortunately. Maybe 20 years ago I read about the plight of the Armenians I was curious about the culture and history. The book guns germs and steal looks at history from an evolutionary perspective was interesting. I in no way meant to disrespect the history just in my mind I had forgotten that complicated and tragic part. History has so many complicated and hurtful portions remembering isn’t enough the world needs to learn from it.
"Do what you want to do just don't force it on me." is kinda how this whole alphabet thing got started over 2 decades ago... just sayin'...
But this new push has nothing to do with the freedom to be gay. It is a Marxist mindset to undermine the family nucleus. It part of the indoctrination for all us into Marxism. There have been homosexuals since the start of time. It’s just hasn’t been pushed on the rest of us. This is a Segway into something else having nothing to do homosexuals or the rest of the alphabet. Personally the rest of the alphabet is the problem they are part of mental issues no one treats or addresses. Just accepting the men as woman and woman as men and it’s not healthy for these people Bc still can’t be happy to be something you are not.
Yep, heard that one, too. If that's the case, why didn't and why haven't the homosexuals who just want to be left alone tell the alphabet club to cease and desist with this nonsense? Why aren't they being more outspoken now?
I believe the whole of the alphabet group (and aboriginal peoples as well) are being used to further an agenda that has nothing to do with their human rights. Once whatever the people behind all this have achieved their target goals, they will be kicked to the curb just like white Christians and other religions. Then everybody will be the same with the same human rights - none.
Absolutely, just like the blacks are getting kicked to the curb. Democrats have been promising blacks a better life for decades and not much is changing for them. Just promises to get the votes.
It’s time to wake up to that also!
The advocacy is being pushed by the government, elite billionaires and pharmaceutical companies and hospital systems who are strategically positioned to make hundreds of billions on the backs of all these mentally confused and vulnerable people and kids
It’s not the small repressed trans minority- actually… advocating for the most part
Same as BLM
Much of what we see is well organized, highly funded psychological operation
Started by Clinton’s
Continued by Obama’s … and now Joe Biden … did u see the White House flags??
Government backed and funded agenda
There’s a lot of power and money behind this agenda
That is very true, thanks for pointing that out.

You are so right!!!! We need to stand for truth, no matter what! Don’t be mean or hurtful, BUT ALWAYS SPEAK THE TRUTH!
Homosexuals will never have the effect on the nuclear family that Uncle Sam did. In the Great Society, (LBJ), poor families, many black, could qualify for government aid if there was no adult male in the household. These were the days when it was difficult for blacks to get decent jobs. Push the males out of the house and they would qualify for welfare, which most people desperately needed. Homosexuals were also horribly abused in our earlier history. In New York City the police would go to a gay nightclub every Saturday night just to beat them up. I think it was Stonewalls? One night the gays fought back... Homosexuals have had to fight for years just to get the freedoms that others took for granted. Sometimes I detect a veiled anti-gay bias on these threads. Somehow their sin is worse than other sins? Well it’s not. We all need to get the planks out of our eyes and look at the propaganda. They’re coming for Christians. Remember when Al Gore said they might help to help Christians to another level? I’m still waiting for that shoe to drop....
Their sin is also not better than any one else’s sin. The scriptures are very clear on a man not lying with a man or a woman with a woman. Why would anyone want to offend God? Our lifespans go quickly by and then we go somewhere.
The problem is the homosexual agenda forced their lifestyle into everything, into our faces, destroyed marriage and opened the door to what we have now. It’s all the related.
There are Texas small towns now that are forbidding Christians from CHRISTMAS parades and encouraging gay / trans parade floats. Not just big cities! That’s what the homosexual lifestyle led society to.
They must separate themselves from LGBTxyz or they continue to be part of the current problem.
My family and many friends are personally dealing with the tragedy this lifestyle brings so I speak from firsthand experience.
Kinda like all the battles women have fought and are still fighting for equal rights. Only now, women also have to fight men who want to pretend to be women. The irony...
And the men are winning!!!
Dear Diana: Almost no Armenians are Muslim.
Don’t think you are wrong , agree. My friend was not he told me the sad story. The Armenians try to marry only other Armenians to expand their numbers. You’d have to think some converted to survive. Look at Spain it was filled with Muslims Jews and Christian Isabella either made the Jews and Muslims covert or she killed them or kicked them out of Spain. My family back on the day converted to catholic.
Absolutely! “Do what you want, just don’t force it on me.”
Whoa! Armenians are NOT Muslim! They are one of the oldest Christian communities. They were celebrating Christ when we were still living in mud huts all over Europe.
This sounds a lot like the new movie Covenant. Which was fantastic and moving! ❤️
We’ve seen a lot of Christian and Muslim dads stepping up and attending Parental Rights rallies and protests here in Denver. The people, ALL people, have had enough of this ridiculousness. It gives me hope 🥰🙏.
They will also be labeled as terrorists, watch. f.b.eye will arrest anyone who stands up for our children, who stands up against the gov steamroller narrative.
They Can’t arrest us ALL !!!! Together we Stand , Together!!!!! 🇺🇸✝️
That’s the aim exactly.
To remove parental rights- then kids are merely wards of the state and it’s much easier to indoctrinate them. Control them. Prey on them. The agenda is that dark.
One funny comment I read, given it was Antifa and Middle Easterners brawling, the police were conflicted about whose side exactly they were supposed to be on.
Rich white trash Marxist college kids or ‘people of color’.

The public school feedback loop: parents trust teachers and administrators they’ve never met & know nothing about, parents find out (too late) that the teachers are indoctrinating or harming their children, parents protest, parents demand said teachers change their ways so they can force their kids to spend time with the abusers... and the loop continues with each new issue. Ultra progressive indoctrination, covid regulations... Maybe all the “for liberty” groups can exercise real liberty and jump out of the loop. Many hours of wasted time fighting abusers to force your innocent kids back into their care. It’s not working.
A long time ago I heard the head of a homeschool group say something that stuck with me: You can't put your child in government schools for 15-16 years+ and not expect them to think - to some extent or another - that government is the answer to most problems. That said, things aren't much better in many private schools.
I agree. Many private schools have been turned into reform schools. Sadly, many of the kids in our local private school were kicked out of public school and brought the culture with them. Not surprisingly, many of them were expelled from the private school within the first year. Another great quote:
“We cannot continue to send our children to Caesar for their education and be surprised when they come home as Romans.”
Love that quote! Probably what the one I heard was based on.
I came here to say this! 👏👏👏
Excellent movie regarding fatherhood, by the amazing Kendrick brothers:
Show Me the Father

That's why it is so important for them to sideline and negate traditional men. They ARE a force to be reckoned with. 🥰
And that’s a good question in fact where are the men, the fathers and husbands?
Do we even have those kind of men who would fight even physically if need be in defense against this wicked LGBTQIA+ ideology
