Lawfare halts repainting of weathered executive building; haunted past resurfaces; Trump sees beauty in neglect; House boosts Medal of Honor pensions; lazy Congress risks lasting gains; more.
Only the Left would collapse over the emotional loss of a building exhibiting the bubbly effervescence of a haunted sanitarium. Cold. Sallow. Unseemly. Unattractive....altogether charmless and disheveled. I sense a correlation. Isn't it bad enough they had to deal with the atrocity of the recently christened Gulf of America? Poor cretins. They're never happy unless agitated, which is to say, they are always happy. We've got 'em on the ropes concerning the things of supreme unimportance.
"They literally hate beauty. They don’t want the EEOB to be improved. They like it ugly. That’s no exaggeration," says Jeff and he's right. They've become a culture of death and dreariness so spoiling a building's brooding grayness like the EEOB's, would be like taking away Halloween and glorifying Christmas all in one big beautiful bill.
I’m not sure. Their heads might have exploded instead, because of the incongruity of getting a rainbow building and “BUT TRUMP!” in their poor little heads at the same time would cause a chain reaction of emotions and “what do we pick?” and result in a catastrophic event ….
I’ve come to believe it’s not TDS, it’s RDS (Republican). No matter the Republican President going forward, the mask of non-partisan news coverage and pretending the left stand for anything other than death and the end of America as we know it, is off. Any/all elected republicans going forward will get the same treatment. In the left’s eyes, we are all illegitimate.
You guessed it, Florida. I lost a ‘friend’ a couple of weeks ago because I suggested that Islam is posing problems in Europe and the US and, in its radical iteration, wants to take the West down. She became agitated and defensive saying that they are no different than the Irish or the Italians who were considered a problem as immigrants 150 years ago. Before I could explain how extremely different from other immigrant groups they are because they are unwilling to assimilate, she had stomped out of the conversation and left the building. Adios.
TDS or RDS is not about what’s best for the country. It’s about being holier than thou. As you say, “we are all illegitimate."
Thank you. It continues to bite. This shutting down of dialogue when they don’t like information outside their echo-sphere is a powerful tool for them. Ending communication is their ‘Last Word.’
I wish it were not a them vs us situation but that’s what it’s come to.
I agree with all that you said except this: “in its radical iteration,” - it’s not “radical.” Nothing happening in Europe or elsewhere is radical by their understating of their faith…
If I may add to this important conversation, Florida Willing & Linda. Our Western human nature dictates, we try to assign reason to everything.
The battle between Islam and Christianity, and the myriad of other belief systems is spiritual in nature. It's a demonic battle raging across the globe. If Jesus doesn't open the eyes of a Muslim they will not see truth and experience love.
You’ve got a point there. All the Republican presidents have been rudely treated and claimed to be illegitimate. “He’s not my president!” It’s just that Trump doesn’t bend over and politely take it. And that is driving them into a frenzy😂🤣😂

It’s paint. For the love of GOD. Just PAINT. Nothing at all to do with historical integrity. It can be undone. White was a color of the times…historically accurate. This is beyond a whiter shade of pale.
they cleaned up Buckingham Palace which is much older many years ago, and it went from being ugly gray to a beautiful white color and that was just from basically the power washing
Repainting and restoring means packing up their ouija boards and moving to a new location. Do you know what a pain that is?! The death vibe is gone. They'll have to scout a new venue with which to practice their dark art summonings.
Lol. Now there’s a blast from the past! Dark shadows was a favorite show on tv when I was about 10 yrs old. Have no clue what was so fascinating about it though. Maybe because in the late 60’s there wasn’t much to choose from in tv programs. The Monkees were another fave but at least they had fun music and Davy Jones was cute! 🤣
My mom would yell “The Monkeys are coming on!” I was soooo disappointed….apparently it was just a bunch of hippies calling themselves monkeys. I’d go back outside and work on my fort.
Me too! I even found it on Prime (I think) and watched the first couple of episodes! It was so wild watching something from that far in my past. I remember running home from the bus stop in elementary school (!) to go turn on the tv to watch! 😂
Unfortunately, as we speak, Avian Influenza is being gain of functioned in a lab in Norway. And the price of chicken has gone up bc the stupid USDA is culling all the flocks. They don't even follow basic immunology. Brooke Rollins needs to get her shit together and stop culling all the poultry and other birds.
Well, as someone who owns an 1830s brick house that was painted (1940s or 1950s), trust me, there can be issues that go beyond looks. We are painfully and expensively dealing with that decision to paint. But I don't think that's what the objections are about.
yep, the paint won't last forever and the brick absorbs water. The water expands with temperature, pops off the paint from behind. Never ending disaster to paint porous substances. Your only hope is to sandblast. . .
Even worse, our paint was non-breathable and has lasted. The soft bricks (likely made on-site) absorb the rising damp (despite a 6-figure project to install french drains and tiling) and the damp has to go somewhere. In our case, it chooses to pop off the paint in the interior of the house (four bricks thick). Yes, you are right, the only hope is to sandblast and to put on a breathable seal. Unfortunately, it has to be done by experts who won't damage the soft bricks. The old-house "experts" we hired for the drainage project proved their lack of knowledge and skill.
I'm glad you posted this. I was going to suggest a sealer. Hopefully, the Administration, this Administration, can find a competent contractor not plagued with DEI hires.
While it is paint, it looks suspiciously like the building is being bleached. And everyone knows that the President stated for all people to chug bleach for Covid. A government cathedral chugging bleach is heresy!
I am sure they were stupid. He was not talking about bleach but MMS. Same ones that doubted Ivermec and pregnant idiots ran and took Tylenol. Most of the population is dumbed down. Glad its not us.
I think they were being disingenuous. They didn't think Trump was actually suggesting people gargle with bleach anymore than they thought Trump was suggesting insurrection on January 6th (further supported by creative editing).
I talk to people on X all the time who revise many things I say. simply put, it's cheating. It's like putting something in a movie trailer that doesn't exist in the movie itself.
I worked with (not for) the Historical Society of Portland (we called them the Hysterical Society). Paint means everything to them. You have to scape off years of whatever is on a building to find out what the original print was and then match that many times. So ..yes paint matters in these historical cases esp if the structure has a Historical Landmark designation.
I guess all towns/cities have Hysterical Societies now. I’m trying to get out of an Anderson windows contract right now because they can’t figure out how to get a permit for one sliding glass door for my historical hovel.
I believe you actually cannot paint marble effectively. It’s porous so its usually cleaned with chemicals and restored as necessary. That much building painted could end up worse than it looks now. I’ve watched many shows on European buildings, sculpture and how restored. That why moss grows on statuary. Porous.
Tom~ He should "spin" it that way, seeing as white is actually the combination of ALL the colors of the spectrum. Hard to beat being more all-inclusive than that, huh?!
Make sure the paint is not that useless latex paint, which peels off like plastic wrap: a product liked by industry because it has a short life (less than 5 years), thus ensuring repeat customers, product imposed on us to ‘save’ us from oil based paints, to ‘save the environment’. What a joke.
When we repainted our house recently I got into an argument with the painter. He wanted to do latex (cheaper and easier for his crew) and I told him no you will use the exact same oil based Cabot that has lasted our 4 season climate for 12 years! Glad I didn’t give in.
There is a product called Rhinoshield which is a ceramic coating that supposedly lasts for a few decades. The folks with TDS might even like the name of the product since they can believe it will protect sympathetic Republicans.
Saw the EOB for the first time about 70 years ago. Always liked it. Business-like, somber, plain in a complicated way. Sort of a counterpoint to the Cochran, the DAR, and the Red Cross complex. Works well with the Renwick and other nearby, older, buildings.
More important things to focus on (lawfare, corruption, Middle East, national debt, Ukraine war . . . ).
Just another “ballroom” media distraction - Trump should start cleaning it right away, put on a prime coat, and let some commission spend a year and a million dollars selecting a paint color.
So is this another 'squirrel' that keeps the media stirred up and distracted and not focusing on something else? I am indifferent about the look of some federal building, frankly, seems like we have a lot more to focus on.
Mark Twain was spared from ever seeing Brutalism Architecture. It’s sad the EEOB was never maintained. I think Mullet designed a building that was a good representation of its original intent and was called the State, War, and Navy Building. Go look at some photos of The Pentagon. Historic preservation is important and everyone always says Trump is playing 4D chess. So, maybe, just maybe, Trump’s intent is to get it power washed.
Or as my mom always accidentally called it throughout 1999, “2YK”. She never could get it right. She was only 57 at the time, so it wasn’t even old age. The same year, she repeatedly (and accidentally) referred to her new Stearns & Foster mattress as “that Howard Stern mattress”. She’s still mixing up and mispronouncing words and phrases 25 years later! 😂🤣
Oh, you were ‘that guy’ at Costco with his wife waddling along behind telling him to get more! 🤣😆 Just kidding Eric, you know we love you. You gave us the perfect image opportunity though.
🤣🤣 I just happened to arrive when the shelves were being stocked. I actually gave some of my stash away in the store. It was the best of times, it was the crappiest of times.
I admit I got a little twitchy, we had a decent amount but I knew it wouldn’t last. I actually bought a few packs at Whole Foods (that was before the mask Nazis took over) and it actually was reasonably priced.
During the driest of pandemic times (wettest?) the little local convenience store down the street put some giant commercial rolls out for sell at a very reasonable $2. I’m keeping one as an artifact.
Thank you Janice for grounding us in the Word. We are in the world and not of the world. He/Jesus the Christ and the Holy Spirit are our only true purpose on earth and we get so distracted with all the extraneous worldly things.
Thank you! That still brings tears to my eyes! If it's a live concert I'm at... tears just drop off my chin without permission!! It's almost Holy Spirit lead ...but I had the same tenderness towards this music before even knowing our
Savior's love for me! I guess that was the Holy Spirit wooing me? Thanks again! 💜🥲😍🦋🙌🏼👑🙌🏼
My grandsons are memorizing this verse for me for December. They’re 8 and 10, so they memorize easily. Their younger siblings, 5,4 and 2 are currently working on the fruit of the spirit from Galatians 5. We live next door so every morning they come over and say their verses for Nana and get rewarded with a small treat. No greater joy 🥹
““But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, Though you are little among the thousands of Judah, Yet out of you shall come forth to Me The One to be Ruler in Israel, Whose goings forth are from of old, From everlasting.””
Here we go again with the 20th century "wisdom." The gospels aren't all identical in details. On purpose. I am not interested in what a contemporary historian, however lauded in the 20th century, postulates. Jesus was BORN in Bethlehem and he is FROM Galilee the same way I was BORN in Chicago and am FROM Wheaton.
The early church fathers, all of whom were close in time to the actual events, identified Bethlehem as his birthplace. I will defer to them over Mr. Grant, however great his reputation in the mid 20th century.
The scholarship that went into compiling the Bible, and into which “gospels that were excluded” was profound and extensive, undertaken by men who were taught by the Apostles themselves, or by men taught directly by those Apostles.
You are relying on your own contemporary wisdom. That’s a dangerous path to take. I wish you all the best with it.
Editing to add, I forgot to point out that you are incorrect in your "Gospels were written centuries after;" they were all most likely written within 100 years of Jesus' death and resurrection. So much error, so much willful self assurance...
Thank you for the rec! Have you ever heard of the BEMA podcast? Mind-blowing historical info and insight into how the Jewish people actually understood and followed the biblical text. there's SO MUCH we don't know from a historical context. Seasons 1 is amazing, season 2 is full of insights but sometimes gets a little slow - but then Season 3 and beyond are absolutely phenomenal. Gotta start at season 1, and totally worth sticking with it. If you're ready to realllllllly leave the Bible and not just follow the Western Christianity version (and from your comment, I think you just might be!!)
The "lens" of Revelation is the OT. Though not his message - "The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show His servants..." - John 'wrote' using the language and imagery of God's Word, the Old Testament. THAT is the lens of Revelation. Not astrology.
WHEN was He born? It wasn't Dec. 25. That was the pagan festival of Saturnalia.
Here's the account according to the URANTIA BOOK:
Early in the morning of August 20 they resumed their journey, reaching Jerusalem before noon, visiting the temple, and going on to their destination, arriving at Bethlehem in midafternoon.122:7.7 The inn was overcrowded, and Joseph accordingly sought lodgings with distant relatives, but every room in Bethlehem was filled to overflowing. On returning to the courtyard of the inn, he was informed that the caravan stables, hewn out of the side of the rock and situated just below the inn, had been cleared of animals and cleaned up for the reception of lodgers. Leaving the donkey in the courtyard, Joseph shouldered their bags of clothing and provisions and with Mary descended the stone steps to their lodgings below. They found themselves located in what had been a grain storage room to the front of the stalls and mangers. Tent curtains had been hung, and they counted themselves fortunate to have such comfortable quarters.122:7.8 Joseph had thought to go out at once and enroll, but Mary was weary; she was considerably distressed and besought him to remain by her side, which he did. 122:8 THE BIRTH OF JESUS
122:8.1 All that night Mary was restless so that neither of them slept much. By the break of day the pangs of childbirth were well in evidence, and at noon, August 21, 7 B.C., with the help and kind ministrations of women fellow travelers, Mary was delivered of a male child. Jesus of Nazareth was born into the world, was wrapped in the clothes which Mary had brought along for such a possible contingency, and laid in a near-by manger.
They? As far back as 3 rd century people have been making pilgrimages to the site, which is now the church of the Nativity, where christians believed he was born. Constantines mother visited and then a church was built over the site. After it was destroyed justinian quickly built again and it is still there.
"Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary and brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon? And are not his sisters here with us?” And they took offense at him.

My Catholic friends say this verse is referring to cousins. Maybe. Maybe not. You decide.
Why does it seem all we get from democrats in the congress is shutdowns, obstruction, coverups, lies, theft, corruption, and the talk of impeachment, assassinations and civil war. What happened to solutions, common ground, fixing things that are broken, helping citizens that need help, lowering prices, helping to cut inflation, working to create jobs for Americans, making things better for the next generation. Is it me, or are they more interested in fighting Trump than doing what they were elected to do and just do their dam job. Is running a campaign to get rid of Trump one way or another a winning strategy for democrats. J.Goodrich
1. The RINOs are of course guilty of much of the same stuff (obstruction, lies, corruption, etc.)
2. "lowering prices", I've never understood why the Federal Govt thinks it should have anything to do with prices, wages, etc. Me to the Feds: leave us alone and it will work out better!
3. What either party does is almost less important than how the MSM portrays it. No matter how many good things Trump or the Stupid Party does, the MSM will ignore it or vilify it and no matter how many bad things the Dem/Marxist Party does, the MSM will glorify it.
Yes on #2!! Too many look to the gov to solve everything. They need to just get out of the way.
And as for the jobs - it's a mixed bag out there for sure. My mom's assisted living place has 7-8 openings pretty much all the time. Entry level (care partners, kitchen staff, housekeeping) starts at $17.50/hour with benefits and tuition reimbursement ($3/hour more than when she moved there in July 2023 and yes, her rent has gone UP with every lease renewal). It's about 50/50 - staff that have been there for most of the 2.5 years she has been there, and then the other half come and go. My son and sister in law are in manufacturing and pretty much the same, a core of production workers who stay and get on the job training and get raises and people who come and go. They are ALWAYS hiring. And yet, also seeing headlines about layoffs in jobs that are likely losing out to AI and consumer shifts (retail). Then there are all the jobs the illegals have been doing - will Americans take those jobs? Welfare reform needs to give them a nudge. Things are changing fast.
I was listening to James Lindsey yesterday. His podcast talked about how Marxists, fascists and the like are all under a gnostic religion that promises a “utopia”. The odd thing is they can’t define what it is, they only claim to know what it isn’t. So all they can do is complain and attempt to tear down the current status quo. This is the left in America right now. It’s the reason why they have no solutions on how to govern.
Go to some of these people’s pages, and you’ll find what most of the problem is with liberalism. They are, to a man, pretty much narcissistic. Every post on their page is virtue signaling how they want others to donate to this charity,or that civic need, or they rode two miles to help climate change on their e-bike. It’s truly sickening. And it’s their character. They have none.
Being productive in the traditional sense comes in a distant third (at best) behind most Congress-critters' two primary objectives: getting re-elected and enriching themselves while there.
I watched during ‘W’s 2nd administration (won in a landslide in 2004, had the House and the Senate- by, I think, larger margins than we have now) as Republicans squandered every single advantage and acted as though they couldn’t wait to turn ‘the hot potato’ back over to the Demonrats, which they happily did in 2008. ‘W’ and the traitor John McCain actually endorsed Obama (informally, of course), even though McCain claimed to be running against him.
By the way, does anyone know if Michelle’s missing college aged cousin was ever found? I always thought that abduction was a warning to Michelle to ‘shut up’.
I believe all of the infighting is purposely constructed to create division in our country - the leaders of our country are playing along with someone's nefarious plans, some purposely and some without realizing they're being used.
Beautiful. Good morning and I too have come to realize how hobbled and weakened we Americans are because we've so thoroughly vilified men and don't know our fathers or have their blessings.
We are in the van with our bagpipe band. Police funeral for murdered Indian River officer. Our 3rd in 4 weeks. St. Lucie Sgt shot in the face last night...AR. He may live. In total at least 6 shot this month. It's getting tough. Eventually it will swing to shooting just anybody. Pay attention to your surroundings.
Godawful—and even worse that I’m in Volusia and haven’t seen this reported. How does one survive a shot to the FACE?! Prayers up to this brave officer! 🙏🏼
Shit is getting old. I always carry a couple, but this mental health crap has gotten out if hand. The worst thing Reagan ever did. Lock them up if they’re nuts.
That is always the excuse for who shoots/kills someone. They always have "mental health" issues. That is what the "mind" people put out there. Someone or something is always to blame for committing a crime. Face what it is. It is always a choice to commit evil. This is, has been and always will be a conflict between good and evil. Guard your mind as well as your body. Decide wisely
I saw recently on local news here in this crime ridden big Florida city, that a little group of ‘disadvantaged’ “yutes” had beaten an elderly homeless man to death. They did it over a period of time, returning for several episodes of beating until he was dead.
The opinions expressed by interviewed locals and experts were that the homeless should be sure to camp out in well lighted areas, parents should get better training for raising their babies (government supplied) and the city needed to provide more activities for the bored yutes.
God help us all! And we can’t post the 10 Commandments because they’re dangerous.
All but one were LEO. One was the locksmith there to assist. He was killed. All sort of people shoot. Watch people's hands, odd movements. Know escape routes. You can look it up online.
Conditions are being set for a breakdown of law and order leading to civil war. This is predictable. You can literally watch the conditions being set in real time if you know what to look for.
if you read the beginning of this thread- I just finished piping for a murdered police officer. The locksmith there to help them was murdered and another officer is still in hospital. The 3rd officer shot/killed the bad guy...who killed those people to avoid his mother evicting him. 3rd funeral in 3 weeks. We are waiting to hear how the officer in St. Lucie is doing. Last night shot in the face 2 rounds from an AR.
Folks, they are coming for YOU next. best be ready. Know what is around you.
It’s incredibly difficult for me to write about fathers. I know so many people that have grown up without a father, or a father that was always at work, a father that was abusive, a father that was an alcoholic or worse. Everyday I see the results of what a father did to his own daughter, I’ll leave it at that.
I wanted to begin with my father. I’ve always praised my father, he was a great guy. A WW2 vet that worked until he retired even though he was 100% disabled from being shot through his back in Germany. There was one night that his platoon of 50 went out on some type of mission and 49 were killed, my father was the only one to survive. He was given a field promotion to second Sargent because there was no one left. He went on to fight in The Battle of The Bulge. This is where he was shot, placed on the side of the road and red tagged to die. He told me when he took a breath he could feel air gurgling from the hole in his back. He ended up being shipped to England where a surgeon removed one of his lungs and saved his life. In 1945 he was awarded a Purple Heart
My father didn’t drink and was there for us kids. He grew up in Boston during the depression. In Boston at that time there were no jobs so his father left when he was a small child to mine coal I believe in Virginia. From what I understand my father was mad that he had left and wasn’t around for him or his siblings. You can imagine when my father’s younger brother got sick and died at 7 years old, and believed it was from being underfed, the resentment my father must have carried with him. This obviously influenced him greatly.
Many guys are not very affectionate. Showing affection, they think is not manly or maybe they weren’t shown affection themselves so now they have a hard time with it. Showing affection to your kids may not be easy for some but it’s certainly manly to do this that isn’t easy. This was one deficiency my father had, he wasn’t one to show much affection.
Parents have the ability to impact their children like no one else can. Without the father’s approval and validation the child will feel a void. Every person needs the blessing from their father. Many adults struggle year after year with low self esteem, working all the time, trying to prove that they’re good enough, all because of their father’s lack of affirmation. Fathers have something to give their children, something that no one else can give. Others can tell them how great they are or how special they are but when a father tells them it holds a much greater weight.
As the father you have the God given authority to bless your child. Every time a father says I’m proud of you, I love you, your beautiful, God releases strength into your child. Value, confidence, security, those are more than just nice words it’s what the Bible calls The Blessing. You are helping you child to achieve their destiny. It’s easier to think you don’t need to do this but it’s something that needs to be done, the more the better. Don’t withhold your love your affection or your approval.
I believe this one negative cycle passed from my father’s father through my father to me. Don’t let that happen with your kids. Always remember a blessing isn’t a blessing until it’s spoken.
Life is short. It doesn’t matter how old your kids are. A phone call saying son have I told you how proud I am of you. It doesn’t matter their age, a child will always long for a father’s approval, it’s never too late.
Because of his injuries and I’m sure all the trauma that life brought him he died when I was just 20. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve wished my father was around to see some of my accomplishments. As a carpenter I’ve fixed up our families houses, I rebuilt our lake house, though we struggle at times I can’t tell you how many times I wished he was around to see it and say good job son, I’m proud of you.
Know fathers, if a young lady doesn’t get the approval from her father many times she will try to get that approval from other men. She will go from relationship to relationship not valuing who she is because she has not been valued by the most important man in her life. You are teaching your daughter how other men should treat her. You’re setting the tone for how she thinks other men should treat her. You should set the bar high. Make her standard high for the man she decides to one day choose.
When we are taught that they’re spraying our food with poison, injecting our bodies with harmful chemicals, or they’re trying to divide us, I think we should understand how much a parents action has impacted our lives. I learn things every day. Knowledge is power and we should be aware that our childhood has a lot to do with the rails that guide our lives. J.Goodrich
Not many people make a point to acknowledge these things, and I'm thankful that you're sharing this.
It's true; parents have the ability to impact their children in a unique and profound manner. The family unit is a sacred institution, and its influence is practically insurmountable, whether for good or evil.
My own father, though not perfect, has been the biggest gift I've ever received; in over three decades of life, I have not once experienced him wavering or neglecting his position in my life as someone entrusted with my education, growth, and well-being. Together with my mother, he gave me the paradigm of reference for what "standards" are, how they're formed, and what they should look like. I hope to honor my parent's legacy through my own decisions and parenting, and I thank God every day for the blessing they are to us.
What a beautiful tribute to your Dad James. Tears in my eyes while reading it. And thank you for the sage advice about our children and how we interact with them. May your Christmas be full of peace and joy.
And don't limit it to the "ghetto." Too many kids in the US today grow up without a father in the home. Not intended to criticize mothers, but as the original post said, fathers bring something to raising children that mothers don't.
I suggest that President Trump issue an Executive Order directing that the executive office building be immediately power washed. That way they can get to the paint job without delay come January.
Power washing is an abuse of water conservation, says Judge Boasberg. Furthermore, the EOB must be restored to its dingy brown/gray color. I’m Just predicting future headlines.
I agree with washing the building. I'd like to hear from archaeological restoration specialists as to the painting of the granite. Not everything is fixed with a splash of paint, like using cement to fix lime mortar will destroy brick work.
I’m sure there is a special coating that is fine to use on stone. “Paint” doesn’t always mean ordinary house paint. I think President Trump probably knows that, being an expert in the building trade!!
My daughter majored in historic preservation and is a real estate developer. You would be surprised what real estate developers don't know or care about!
If I remember correctly Majorie Taylor Greene stated she would resign from Congress because none of the bills she introduced to enact into law Trump’s executive orders have even reached the committee level for consideration. Yet Trump called her a traitor, when he should have taken aim at House Speaker Mike Johnson. Republicans are their own worst enemy. It’s time to dump the two party system and start another party. We could call it the “Tea Party.” Maybe instead of passing new laws, a new invigorated Congress could dump (repeal) a warehouse full of existing laws, eliminate a host of unconstitutional federal agencies and return usurped powers back to states and the people.
Here’s an idea that does an end run around everyone: I believe that much of what is wrong in America could be easily remedied by separating spending from funding. Let elected representatives debate and propose spending all they want BUT only citizen taxpayers should be able to approve funding. If each and every budget were subjected to approval by citizen taxpayers and audited by Doge the American people would quickly get the government they want to the extent they are willing to pay for it. This would restore a good deal of harmony between people of very different political persuasions. Let everyone put their own tax money where their mouth is. Let every citizen taxpayer take responsibility for how our government operates by assigning their tax dollars for or not for every proposed spending measure every year with every tax return. Let budgets shrink or swell based on performance and real time achievement of goals without graft, manipulation, fraud or waste, which would find that an annual review with the help of Doge and citizen taxpayers choices would accomplish what politicians can’t!
Probably. I still believe that even stupid and ill informed people get a whole lot smarter quickly when it’s tangibly their money being used. I don’t think it would take too long for literally everyone who is having his/her hard work pilfered to come up to speed. The focus on performance by government spending would be as shocking to spenders as a large dose of castor oil is to a constipated cow!
Yes, you're right. A few years back, I met a rescue named Rudy who would play tag, chase beach balls, and hip check unsuspecting visitors. Personality plus!
But it is congress that would have to vote to allow such... or even reasonable term limits.
Such a Bill would never even make it to the floor. Bipartisan grifters... crooks... scum.
Remember, trump promised to order a deep investigation of congress-turds that entered congress with maybe a few hundred thousand... and after just a few years, have become multi-millionaires.
I am beginning to think the only option for Trump is to NOT SUPPORT the reelection of any R currently in House and Senate. WHY does he support Graham?!?!? Why should he support any congressman????
Jeff has covered this. Because of Ms.Lindsey’s connections, he is going to be elected in S.C. He is a critical vote for Trump, when push comes to shove.
As the game is played, the most votes wins. The holiest, most righteous sounding candidate is of no effect if they do not win.
Also, a bunch of righteous sounding Tea Party candidates totally flipped Left after being elected. They said what they needed to say to get elected. We’re dealing with snakes and some are in disguise.
Trump is so obviously no longer his own man... supporting a corrupt, deviant maggot like graham is one clue...
Supporting, arming and funding Israel's mass-slaughter in Gaza is another... as is his frantic attempts at obstructing the release of unredacted Epstein files...
Let alone his appalling refusal to release the promised 911 and JFK files.
All of which have the same foundation: Zionist Israel.
I’m so torn about this. I do feel that he has so much to do he is picking the easy stuff first. Things are such a mess and I like every step he is taking. And I guess to keep the Z enemy at bay he is supporting snakes like Graham. But at some point there will be nothing else to do but declare he is for US or Z. But I suspect he has a few more years of housekeeping first
I’ve been watching politics for too long. Man will never solve our problems, but God can be in control of our lives. You can laugh or cry and these days I like to laugh.
I didn't see it... perhaps it is the stress of being railroaded out of a position she loved... being demonized for speaking the TRUTH about may things, especially Israel (which got her booted)... being only one of TWO that refused the malignant AIPAC bribes... calling a spade a spade...
Throwing a fine honest patriot under the bus is so typical of MAGAs today.
Is this response really a "rant"... "spewing nonsense"? You think she has not been living under multiple threats for years??

What we presently have does not work well. Unless something changes the uni-party will continue to drive us deeper and deeper into debt while they enrich themselves.
And directly from the likes of people such as Pelosi/Schumer/et al and orgs like Antifa. No one in this country should appreciate the military sacrifices more than the far left. Many other countries would put their vitriolic heads on a block and be done with them. But our soldiers fight for the far left to be able to spread their vitriol.
There is, actually. It's due to the Obamas lacking even a vestige of good taste and appreciation of beauty. Someone has told them "this is good; this is powerful" and they believed it.
I am reminded of their grotesque official portraits, which the Obamas apparently liked and approved.
Or else it is disguising a massively twisted sense of humor.
Nothing says "Up yours, America" better than a massive hideous edifice towering over its surroundings, erected as a monument to Obama's ego and built with other people's money.
Re the Medal of Honor story, wouldn't you just love to see all the Medal winners standing before Congress saying, "thanks for the raise, now please cut spending by a couple of trillion dollars so that what we fought for doesn't die!"
What a picture! And all the "disability" pay recipients as well. What a scam that is. I wonder if anyone has the break down on money given to truly disabled vs just signs of age or life?
Hilarious. So they’re fighting THIS MAN? The one dedicated to the preservation of the historic structure?
“In 2012, The Trump Organization was selected by the General Services Administration to redevelop the Nation's Old Post Office in one of the most competitive selection processes in the history of the agency. Over twenty of the top hotel companies in the world bid on the project, and The Trump Organization was awarded the job based on the strength of Trump development capabilities, financial wherewithal, vision for the property, and dedication to the preservation of the historic structure.
I am so glad that our pathetic Congress passed at least 1 bill. I firmly believe that the Medal of Honor recipients deserve this upgrade in their pension. Now I also firmly believe that all federal pensions for Congress and the Senate should be null and void. I also think that after 5 years any presidents pension should be cancelled. Just my thoughts. Thank you Jeff for sharing this good news.
If you look at the board of directors and staff of the DC Preservation League (not Society), it all becomes crystal clear. Full of AWFLs and swamp creatures down to their last prejudice. I would be willing to bet good money that every single one of them is a registered Democrat suffering from TDS. How else to explain their petty desire to thwart Trump and maintain that awful, ugly monster of a badly maintained building in its present condition? The judge who is allowing them block this innocent project was appointed by Trump during his first administration, before he learned to distrust most of the people "advising" him, is also a swamp creature.
Only the Left would collapse over the emotional loss of a building exhibiting the bubbly effervescence of a haunted sanitarium. Cold. Sallow. Unseemly. Unattractive....altogether charmless and disheveled. I sense a correlation. Isn't it bad enough they had to deal with the atrocity of the recently christened Gulf of America? Poor cretins. They're never happy unless agitated, which is to say, they are always happy. We've got 'em on the ropes concerning the things of supreme unimportance.
It probably has nothing to do w their taste in bad architecture. More like TDS on display…again.
Can TDS be treated? We need a a vax!
It’s terminal. If it was an animal with TDS they would be put out of their misery.
"They literally hate beauty. They don’t want the EEOB to be improved. They like it ugly. That’s no exaggeration," says Jeff and he's right. They've become a culture of death and dreariness so spoiling a building's brooding grayness like the EEOB's, would be like taking away Halloween and glorifying Christmas all in one big beautiful bill.
Had he proposed an LGBTQi+ painting scheme for the building they'd still take offense and legal action
I’m not sure. Their heads might have exploded instead, because of the incongruity of getting a rainbow building and “BUT TRUMP!” in their poor little heads at the same time would cause a chain reaction of emotions and “what do we pick?” and result in a catastrophic event ….
now there's a bright idea ;-) lol
Nope. They would be all for it.
I’ve come to believe it’s not TDS, it’s RDS (Republican). No matter the Republican President going forward, the mask of non-partisan news coverage and pretending the left stand for anything other than death and the end of America as we know it, is off. Any/all elected republicans going forward will get the same treatment. In the left’s eyes, we are all illegitimate.
You guessed it, Florida. I lost a ‘friend’ a couple of weeks ago because I suggested that Islam is posing problems in Europe and the US and, in its radical iteration, wants to take the West down. She became agitated and defensive saying that they are no different than the Irish or the Italians who were considered a problem as immigrants 150 years ago. Before I could explain how extremely different from other immigrant groups they are because they are unwilling to assimilate, she had stomped out of the conversation and left the building. Adios.
TDS or RDS is not about what’s best for the country. It’s about being holier than thou. As you say, “we are all illegitimate."
History shows that where Islam comes, civilization dies.

This is the real crisis we’re being distracted from.
Yes, that "friend" is nuts. Sorry you had to endure that conversation.
Thank you. It continues to bite. This shutting down of dialogue when they don’t like information outside their echo-sphere is a powerful tool for them. Ending communication is their ‘Last Word.’
I wish it were not a them vs us situation but that’s what it’s come to.
I agree with all that you said except this: “in its radical iteration,” - it’s not “radical.” Nothing happening in Europe or elsewhere is radical by their understating of their faith…
I believe you are correct. Thanks.
If I may add to this important conversation, Florida Willing & Linda. Our Western human nature dictates, we try to assign reason to everything.
The battle between Islam and Christianity, and the myriad of other belief systems is spiritual in nature. It's a demonic battle raging across the globe. If Jesus doesn't open the eyes of a Muslim they will not see truth and experience love.
America is in trouble, no two ways about it.
You’ve got a point there. All the Republican presidents have been rudely treated and claimed to be illegitimate. “He’s not my president!” It’s just that Trump doesn’t bend over and politely take it. And that is driving them into a frenzy😂🤣😂
And shows how the "Democrats" have been co opted by Transnational gangsters.
I agree - we are faced with this if Bance wins
All vaxxed receive the medal of horror.
And those who did not and were expelled from the service.

NO, not a vax, but you have found a great use for gene therapy.

It’s paint. For the love of GOD. Just PAINT. Nothing at all to do with historical integrity. It can be undone. White was a color of the times…historically accurate. This is beyond a whiter shade of pale.
It's white paint. It's racist.
Good one!
What would they say if DJT requested painting it with Native American tribal colors or something? 🤔 OR Godforbid, the colors of Palestine's flag!! 😱
The left wouldn't know which way to twerk on that!
Earlier Americans? How about they paint it with the colors of the local pro football team, the Washington Redskins? Haha.
No need for paint. Just power wash that b*tch first and see how the glow up looks
they cleaned up Buckingham Palace which is much older many years ago, and it went from being ugly gray to a beautiful white color and that was just from basically the power washing
Haha, that might be fun!!😂
Make Israel Palestine Again.
The building is currently grey stone so painting it white will make it 'palestone'. :)
I wonder if there's a shade of blue that would match American Eagle denim ...
As a compromise the EEOB will have to fly the pride flag during its special month - but in its cellar.
In its latrine...
Dual use unclogger.
Bingo! Actually, isn't upkeep of property racist and an extension of the white patriarchy?
This is the best thread of today’s comments. 😂🙌🏻
It's not really about paint, it's TDS.
Repainting and restoring means packing up their ouija boards and moving to a new location. Do you know what a pain that is?! The death vibe is gone. They'll have to scout a new venue with which to practice their dark art summonings.
Cue the Dark Shadows theme song.
Lol. Now there’s a blast from the past! Dark shadows was a favorite show on tv when I was about 10 yrs old. Have no clue what was so fascinating about it though. Maybe because in the late 60’s there wasn’t much to choose from in tv programs. The Monkees were another fave but at least they had fun music and Davy Jones was cute! 🤣
My mom would yell “The Monkeys are coming on!” I was soooo disappointed….apparently it was just a bunch of hippies calling themselves monkeys. I’d go back outside and work on my fort.
YES!!
What a crazy deal dark shadows was
Barnabas everything was so dark and spooky it was just a soap opera on vampire steroids
But we loved it and the monkees!
The Monkeys were a key factor in putting me off TV for life.
I guess I owe them a dept of gratitude for that.
Me too! I even found it on Prime (I think) and watched the first couple of episodes! It was so wild watching something from that far in my past. I remember running home from the bus stop in elementary school (!) to go turn on the tv to watch! 😂
Damn. I forgot about those pesky ouiji boards…
Rookie mistake. 😜
Unfortunately, as we speak, Avian Influenza is being gain of functioned in a lab in Norway. And the price of chicken has gone up bc the stupid USDA is culling all the flocks. They don't even follow basic immunology. Brooke Rollins needs to get her shit together and stop culling all the poultry and other birds.
Well, as someone who owns an 1830s brick house that was painted (1940s or 1950s), trust me, there can be issues that go beyond looks. We are painfully and expensively dealing with that decision to paint. But I don't think that's what the objections are about.
yep, the paint won't last forever and the brick absorbs water. The water expands with temperature, pops off the paint from behind. Never ending disaster to paint porous substances. Your only hope is to sandblast. . .
Even worse, our paint was non-breathable and has lasted. The soft bricks (likely made on-site) absorb the rising damp (despite a 6-figure project to install french drains and tiling) and the damp has to go somewhere. In our case, it chooses to pop off the paint in the interior of the house (four bricks thick). Yes, you are right, the only hope is to sandblast and to put on a breathable seal. Unfortunately, it has to be done by experts who won't damage the soft bricks. The old-house "experts" we hired for the drainage project proved their lack of knowledge and skill.
I'm glad you posted this. I was going to suggest a sealer. Hopefully, the Administration, this Administration, can find a competent contractor not plagued with DEI hires.
If they can clean Buckingham Palace, they can clean this building. It doesn’t have to be painted. It just needs to be cleaned.
If any of them were rational thinkers, we wouldn’t be in this mess.
While it is paint, it looks suspiciously like the building is being bleached. And everyone knows that the President stated for all people to chug bleach for Covid. A government cathedral chugging bleach is heresy!
And people were so stupid. Pres was talking about MMS/Chlorine Dioxide and yes, you drink it and it works wonders and cures what ails you.
I am not so sure people are/were stupid.
How many news stories were there of people actually chugging bleach?
I think it was a double indictment of what they stated the President said as well as what they thought of the people who voted for Trump.
Then again, I thought that there were grownups still in the room when the pandemic fear and panic ensued.
I am sure they were stupid. He was not talking about bleach but MMS. Same ones that doubted Ivermec and pregnant idiots ran and took Tylenol. Most of the population is dumbed down. Glad its not us.
I think they were being disingenuous. They didn't think Trump was actually suggesting people gargle with bleach anymore than they thought Trump was suggesting insurrection on January 6th (further supported by creative editing).
I talk to people on X all the time who revise many things I say. simply put, it's cheating. It's like putting something in a movie trailer that doesn't exist in the movie itself.
Don’t forget the heil Hitler signs that supposedly Elon had done
I mean these people it just doesn’t end
🤣
Now we know…
Yes, by their logic, you shouldn't be allowed to clean the building either-- Removing that historic patina.
White is racist - I think I’ve heard … 🙄
Ya don’t say! Wonder where one could get that idea?🧐
Those people litigating this improvement do not love their country. They are under the control of Transnational gangster$.
I worked with (not for) the Historical Society of Portland (we called them the Hysterical Society). Paint means everything to them. You have to scape off years of whatever is on a building to find out what the original print was and then match that many times. So ..yes paint matters in these historical cases esp if the structure has a Historical Landmark designation.
I guess all towns/cities have Hysterical Societies now. I’m trying to get out of an Anderson windows contract right now because they can’t figure out how to get a permit for one sliding glass door for my historical hovel.
I believe you actually cannot paint marble effectively. It’s porous so its usually cleaned with chemicals and restored as necessary. That much building painted could end up worse than it looks now. I’ve watched many shows on European buildings, sculpture and how restored. That why moss grows on statuary. Porous.
White is the color of purity. Maybe black would be more appropriate.
If Trump had chosen to repaint it in rainbow colors, he likely would have enjoyed swift approval.
Oh that’s funny. He should change the directive from white to rainbow just to make their heads explode!
Do a white base coat, and then leave the job "unfinished."
Tom~ He should "spin" it that way, seeing as white is actually the combination of ALL the colors of the spectrum. Hard to beat being more all-inclusive than that, huh?!
😄😄
🤮
How frigging petty.
It's about time to say, "Sherwin Williams we will take a bazillion gallons of White House white satin."
First, give some hardworking, dependable pressure-washing company a big contract.
My husband said they are trying to prevent even washing the building!
Nothing says "good government" to these people more than a decaying pile.
I would think they could at least start the pressure wash, right? Nothing unhistorical about that…
Make sure the paint is not that useless latex paint, which peels off like plastic wrap: a product liked by industry because it has a short life (less than 5 years), thus ensuring repeat customers, product imposed on us to ‘save’ us from oil based paints, to ‘save the environment’. What a joke.
When we repainted our house recently I got into an argument with the painter. He wanted to do latex (cheaper and easier for his crew) and I told him no you will use the exact same oil based Cabot that has lasted our 4 season climate for 12 years! Glad I didn’t give in.
There is a product called Rhinoshield which is a ceramic coating that supposedly lasts for a few decades. The folks with TDS might even like the name of the product since they can believe it will protect sympathetic Republicans.
Benjamin Moore Paint only!
Their water-based urethane, $80 per gallon, is AWESOME! It even sticks to cedar, new or old.
Martha Stewart’s Magnolia White - H30 is still available. It a beautiful white. 🙂
Sounds like Obama's new library!
Saw the EOB for the first time about 70 years ago. Always liked it. Business-like, somber, plain in a complicated way. Sort of a counterpoint to the Cochran, the DAR, and the Red Cross complex. Works well with the Renwick and other nearby, older, buildings.
More important things to focus on (lawfare, corruption, Middle East, national debt, Ukraine war . . . ).
Just another “ballroom” media distraction - Trump should start cleaning it right away, put on a prime coat, and let some commission spend a year and a million dollars selecting a paint color.
Filibuster? 😁
you forgot EMF Radiation poisoning.
So is this another 'squirrel' that keeps the media stirred up and distracted and not focusing on something else? I am indifferent about the look of some federal building, frankly, seems like we have a lot more to focus on.
Mark Twain was spared from ever seeing Brutalism Architecture. It’s sad the EEOB was never maintained. I think Mullet designed a building that was a good representation of its original intent and was called the State, War, and Navy Building. Go look at some photos of The Pentagon. Historic preservation is important and everyone always says Trump is playing 4D chess. So, maybe, just maybe, Trump’s intent is to get it power washed.
He won't have a choice . . . sandblasting or power washing is the only solution before even attempting to paint.
JHK could have written that one...
It's a very British looking building...
Do you mean "butt ugly"?
Some teenagers should TP that place.
I’ve still got a healthy stash from 5 years ago.
Some people have TP stashes left from Y2K!
Or as my mom always accidentally called it throughout 1999, “2YK”. She never could get it right. She was only 57 at the time, so it wasn’t even old age. The same year, she repeatedly (and accidentally) referred to her new Stearns & Foster mattress as “that Howard Stern mattress”. She’s still mixing up and mispronouncing words and phrases 25 years later! 😂🤣
My mother, too. My favorite: she called LL Cool J, Cool Cool LJ.
Lol! My mom would probably call him that too if she knew who he was.
I hope you're documenting your mom's mix-up-isms - those are fun memories, especially for coming generations:)
It's not like it goes bad.
Isn't it reusable?
Oh, you were ‘that guy’ at Costco with his wife waddling along behind telling him to get more! 🤣😆 Just kidding Eric, you know we love you. You gave us the perfect image opportunity though.
🤣🤣 I just happened to arrive when the shelves were being stocked. I actually gave some of my stash away in the store. It was the best of times, it was the crappiest of times.
I admit I got a little twitchy, we had a decent amount but I knew it wouldn’t last. I actually bought a few packs at Whole Foods (that was before the mask Nazis took over) and it actually was reasonably priced.
Strange times, indeed. Peeps are crazy.
During the driest of pandemic times (wettest?) the little local convenience store down the street put some giant commercial rolls out for sell at a very reasonable $2. I’m keeping one as an artifact.
$2? That's the same as 1.21 gigawatts!
I’d suggest one,but I’d be banned, barred,tarred, feathered, and lambasted.
Saw a meme this weekend that since Gulf renamed Gulf of America, first season no hurricanes made landfall in US.
Sallow. A great descriptor!
I love it, it is beautiful. The white paint will allow one to see more deeply the beauty of its facade and character.
Ahhh.. the sanatorium allusion made my day, thanks!

Thank you Janice! This is my favorite reading for the Christmas season; the words of the prophet Isaiah resonate Majesty!

Get ready, Janice - some people don’t understand sarcasm

My grandsons are memorizing this verse for me for December. They’re 8 and 10, so they memorize easily. Their younger siblings, 5,4 and 2 are currently working on the fruit of the spirit from Galatians 5. We live next door so every morning they come over and say their verses for Nana and get rewarded with a small treat. No greater joy 🥹
How precious. I can only imagine the joy, as my only grand baby is four months today. Sweet!
Wonderful scripture to welcome us into the Advent season.
We definitely need more Zeal for Our Savior!

They put Christ birth in Bethlehem to link him with David, but never born there.
““But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, Though you are little among the thousands of Judah, Yet out of you shall come forth to Me The One to be Ruler in Israel, Whose goings forth are from of old, From everlasting.””
Micah 5:2
Exactly.
Fulfilling that prophecy was more important than the actual location.
Indeed.

Luke 2:4-7 clearly says Jesus was born in Bethlehem. This is the Word of God. Who are you?
Not mentioned by Mark.
John says Galilee, not Bethlehem at all.
Matthew says Nazareth also called Galilee.
Read Jesus
By Historian
Michael Grant.
Here we go again with the 20th century "wisdom." The gospels aren't all identical in details. On purpose. I am not interested in what a contemporary historian, however lauded in the 20th century, postulates. Jesus was BORN in Bethlehem and he is FROM Galilee the same way I was BORN in Chicago and am FROM Wheaton.
The early church fathers, all of whom were close in time to the actual events, identified Bethlehem as his birthplace. I will defer to them over Mr. Grant, however great his reputation in the mid 20th century.
Amen and AMEN! I too was born in Chicago (Swedish Hospital) and from Addison. BTW we share the same Biblical views.🙏
Be Well, Be Blessed,
Phillip
Thank you, Essay33, you said it better than I could!
Your birth is the same as Jesus?
Gospels were written centuries after.
Even St. Paul had no idea of the history of Jesus, only his resurrection. Luke was a Roman
There are gospels that were excluded. John came under the wire while Thomas rejected.
I stick with the message of Christ, not with historical details
The scholarship that went into compiling the Bible, and into which “gospels that were excluded” was profound and extensive, undertaken by men who were taught by the Apostles themselves, or by men taught directly by those Apostles.
You are relying on your own contemporary wisdom. That’s a dangerous path to take. I wish you all the best with it.
Editing to add, I forgot to point out that you are incorrect in your "Gospels were written centuries after;" they were all most likely written within 100 years of Jesus' death and resurrection. So much error, so much willful self assurance...
Read the Bible, the true source of God’s Word.
The authors vary per my recent comment.
The Message of Christ is the true source
Where is really of little consequence. What our Lord did for us is everything.
Thank you for the rec! Have you ever heard of the BEMA podcast? Mind-blowing historical info and insight into how the Jewish people actually understood and followed the biblical text. there's SO MUCH we don't know from a historical context. Seasons 1 is amazing, season 2 is full of insights but sometimes gets a little slow - but then Season 3 and beyond are absolutely phenomenal. Gotta start at season 1, and totally worth sticking with it. If you're ready to realllllllly leave the Bible and not just follow the Western Christianity version (and from your comment, I think you just might be!!)
Thank you.
Looks interesting.
It was predicted that Christ would be of a virgin because he would be born in the sign of Virgo.
I see Revelation as a result of seeing the world through the lens of the sky.
The "lens" of Revelation is the OT. Though not his message - "The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show His servants..." - John 'wrote' using the language and imagery of God's Word, the Old Testament. THAT is the lens of Revelation. Not astrology.

WHEN was He born? It wasn't Dec. 25. That was the pagan festival of Saturnalia.
Here's the account according to the URANTIA BOOK:
Early in the morning of August 20 they resumed their journey, reaching Jerusalem before noon, visiting the temple, and going on to their destination, arriving at Bethlehem in midafternoon.122:7.7 The inn was overcrowded, and Joseph accordingly sought lodgings with distant relatives, but every room in Bethlehem was filled to overflowing. On returning to the courtyard of the inn, he was informed that the caravan stables, hewn out of the side of the rock and situated just below the inn, had been cleared of animals and cleaned up for the reception of lodgers. Leaving the donkey in the courtyard, Joseph shouldered their bags of clothing and provisions and with Mary descended the stone steps to their lodgings below. They found themselves located in what had been a grain storage room to the front of the stalls and mangers. Tent curtains had been hung, and they counted themselves fortunate to have such comfortable quarters.122:7.8 Joseph had thought to go out at once and enroll, but Mary was weary; she was considerably distressed and besought him to remain by her side, which he did. 122:8 THE BIRTH OF JESUS
122:8.1 All that night Mary was restless so that neither of them slept much. By the break of day the pangs of childbirth were well in evidence, and at noon, August 21, 7 B.C., with the help and kind ministrations of women fellow travelers, Mary was delivered of a male child. Jesus of Nazareth was born into the world, was wrapped in the clothes which Mary had brought along for such a possible contingency, and laid in a near-by manger.
They? As far back as 3 rd century people have been making pilgrimages to the site, which is now the church of the Nativity, where christians believed he was born. Constantines mother visited and then a church was built over the site. After it was destroyed justinian quickly built again and it is still there.
Still a holy site of the House of David.
Faith has no bounds with the actual words of Christ.

Yes, it would be wonderful if the Jewish people had accepted their Messiah. Instead they did the exact opposite and allowed evil most heinous.
Some 1st century Jews did accept Jesus as their Messiah, followed The Way, followed Cristo teachings and helped establish Christianity.
Not many at all. It was all there predicted in the OT but they kept on being morons.

Where in scripture does it say “Mary gave birth to a number of other children”?
Read the first paragraph of Mark chapter 6
Mark 6:3
"Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary and brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon? And are not his sisters here with us?” And they took offense at him.
(ESV)
My Catholic friends say this verse is referring to cousins. Maybe. Maybe not. You decide.
There was no word in Aramaic for cousin so everyone was brother or sister.
Oh! Interesting! I did not know that.
It doesn't.
Why does it seem all we get from democrats in the congress is shutdowns, obstruction, coverups, lies, theft, corruption, and the talk of impeachment, assassinations and civil war. What happened to solutions, common ground, fixing things that are broken, helping citizens that need help, lowering prices, helping to cut inflation, working to create jobs for Americans, making things better for the next generation. Is it me, or are they more interested in fighting Trump than doing what they were elected to do and just do their dam job. Is running a campaign to get rid of Trump one way or another a winning strategy for democrats. J.Goodrich
Good comment, James. A couple of quibbles:
1. The RINOs are of course guilty of much of the same stuff (obstruction, lies, corruption, etc.)
2. "lowering prices", I've never understood why the Federal Govt thinks it should have anything to do with prices, wages, etc. Me to the Feds: leave us alone and it will work out better!
3. What either party does is almost less important than how the MSM portrays it. No matter how many good things Trump or the Stupid Party does, the MSM will ignore it or vilify it and no matter how many bad things the Dem/Marxist Party does, the MSM will glorify it.
Yes on #2!! Too many look to the gov to solve everything. They need to just get out of the way.
And as for the jobs - it's a mixed bag out there for sure. My mom's assisted living place has 7-8 openings pretty much all the time. Entry level (care partners, kitchen staff, housekeeping) starts at $17.50/hour with benefits and tuition reimbursement ($3/hour more than when she moved there in July 2023 and yes, her rent has gone UP with every lease renewal). It's about 50/50 - staff that have been there for most of the 2.5 years she has been there, and then the other half come and go. My son and sister in law are in manufacturing and pretty much the same, a core of production workers who stay and get on the job training and get raises and people who come and go. They are ALWAYS hiring. And yet, also seeing headlines about layoffs in jobs that are likely losing out to AI and consumer shifts (retail). Then there are all the jobs the illegals have been doing - will Americans take those jobs? Welfare reform needs to give them a nudge. Things are changing fast.
I was listening to James Lindsey yesterday. His podcast talked about how Marxists, fascists and the like are all under a gnostic religion that promises a “utopia”. The odd thing is they can’t define what it is, they only claim to know what it isn’t. So all they can do is complain and attempt to tear down the current status quo. This is the left in America right now. It’s the reason why they have no solutions on how to govern.
Go to some of these people’s pages, and you’ll find what most of the problem is with liberalism. They are, to a man, pretty much narcissistic. Every post on their page is virtue signaling how they want others to donate to this charity,or that civic need, or they rode two miles to help climate change on their e-bike. It’s truly sickening. And it’s their character. They have none.
Being productive in the traditional sense comes in a distant third (at best) behind most Congress-critters' two primary objectives: getting re-elected and enriching themselves while there.
This!
Getting rid of Trump is the only real platform the Dems have. And It only works on brainwashed libs and criminals.
He’s a threat to the global takedown of society.
Is he? As he actively works with tech goons to roll out AI and digital money?
"We have the best digital AI ID, don't we folks?"
I watched during ‘W’s 2nd administration (won in a landslide in 2004, had the House and the Senate- by, I think, larger margins than we have now) as Republicans squandered every single advantage and acted as though they couldn’t wait to turn ‘the hot potato’ back over to the Demonrats, which they happily did in 2008. ‘W’ and the traitor John McCain actually endorsed Obama (informally, of course), even though McCain claimed to be running against him.
Michele Malkin called it Kabuki theater.
By the way, does anyone know if Michelle’s missing college aged cousin was ever found? I always thought that abduction was a warning to Michelle to ‘shut up’.
They were close.
"What happened to solutions, common ground, fixing things that are broken, helping citizens that need help..."
When did this ever actually happen?
well they wouldn't be democrats then
I believe all of the infighting is purposely constructed to create division in our country - the leaders of our country are playing along with someone's nefarious plans, some purposely and some without realizing they're being used.
Beautiful. Good morning and I too have come to realize how hobbled and weakened we Americans are because we've so thoroughly vilified men and don't know our fathers or have their blessings.
I meant to put this in the general comments which I did.
We are in the van with our bagpipe band. Police funeral for murdered Indian River officer. Our 3rd in 4 weeks. St. Lucie Sgt shot in the face last night...AR. He may live. In total at least 6 shot this month. It's getting tough. Eventually it will swing to shooting just anybody. Pay attention to your surroundings.
Godawful—and even worse that I’m in Volusia and haven’t seen this reported. How does one survive a shot to the FACE?! Prayers up to this brave officer! 🙏🏼
Volusia here too
Found the story. 🙏🏼

Shit is getting old. I always carry a couple, but this mental health crap has gotten out if hand. The worst thing Reagan ever did. Lock them up if they’re nuts.
Lock them up or death penalty if they kill or even try to kill a first responder.
Just missed vitals.
C. Wilson, by "at least 6 shot this month", do you mean LEOs? I hope not!
This latest perp had mental health issues, but what about the other five? Who is doing the shooting?
I'm asking so I can "pay attention to my surroundings".
Thank you for this post.
That is always the excuse for who shoots/kills someone. They always have "mental health" issues. That is what the "mind" people put out there. Someone or something is always to blame for committing a crime. Face what it is. It is always a choice to commit evil. This is, has been and always will be a conflict between good and evil. Guard your mind as well as your body. Decide wisely
We are definitely in a Spiritual Battle.
That’s exactly where we are! God was disinvited, the 10 Commandments were removed and we are fighting demons invited in.
I saw recently on local news here in this crime ridden big Florida city, that a little group of ‘disadvantaged’ “yutes” had beaten an elderly homeless man to death. They did it over a period of time, returning for several episodes of beating until he was dead.
The opinions expressed by interviewed locals and experts were that the homeless should be sure to camp out in well lighted areas, parents should get better training for raising their babies (government supplied) and the city needed to provide more activities for the bored yutes.
God help us all! And we can’t post the 10 Commandments because they’re dangerous.
All but one were LEO. One was the locksmith there to assist. He was killed. All sort of people shoot. Watch people's hands, odd movements. Know escape routes. You can look it up online.
Conditions are being set for a breakdown of law and order leading to civil war. This is predictable. You can literally watch the conditions being set in real time if you know what to look for.
Financial collapse will hasten events

Heartbreaking. Be armed and ready to pull the trigger.
It's a police band.
Thank you for your service
You are welcome. It is just what we all do.
Doing funeral ceremonies.
Around 2004 I decided that we are living through a civil war. It was a non shooting one at that time, but it now seems to be rapidly heating up.
if you read the beginning of this thread- I just finished piping for a murdered police officer. The locksmith there to help them was murdered and another officer is still in hospital. The 3rd officer shot/killed the bad guy...who killed those people to avoid his mother evicting him. 3rd funeral in 3 weeks. We are waiting to hear how the officer in St. Lucie is doing. Last night shot in the face 2 rounds from an AR.
Folks, they are coming for YOU next. best be ready. Know what is around you.
God bless.

It’s incredibly difficult for me to write about fathers. I know so many people that have grown up without a father, or a father that was always at work, a father that was abusive, a father that was an alcoholic or worse. Everyday I see the results of what a father did to his own daughter, I’ll leave it at that.
I wanted to begin with my father. I’ve always praised my father, he was a great guy. A WW2 vet that worked until he retired even though he was 100% disabled from being shot through his back in Germany. There was one night that his platoon of 50 went out on some type of mission and 49 were killed, my father was the only one to survive. He was given a field promotion to second Sargent because there was no one left. He went on to fight in The Battle of The Bulge. This is where he was shot, placed on the side of the road and red tagged to die. He told me when he took a breath he could feel air gurgling from the hole in his back. He ended up being shipped to England where a surgeon removed one of his lungs and saved his life. In 1945 he was awarded a Purple Heart
My father didn’t drink and was there for us kids. He grew up in Boston during the depression. In Boston at that time there were no jobs so his father left when he was a small child to mine coal I believe in Virginia. From what I understand my father was mad that he had left and wasn’t around for him or his siblings. You can imagine when my father’s younger brother got sick and died at 7 years old, and believed it was from being underfed, the resentment my father must have carried with him. This obviously influenced him greatly.
Many guys are not very affectionate. Showing affection, they think is not manly or maybe they weren’t shown affection themselves so now they have a hard time with it. Showing affection to your kids may not be easy for some but it’s certainly manly to do this that isn’t easy. This was one deficiency my father had, he wasn’t one to show much affection.
Parents have the ability to impact their children like no one else can. Without the father’s approval and validation the child will feel a void. Every person needs the blessing from their father. Many adults struggle year after year with low self esteem, working all the time, trying to prove that they’re good enough, all because of their father’s lack of affirmation. Fathers have something to give their children, something that no one else can give. Others can tell them how great they are or how special they are but when a father tells them it holds a much greater weight.
As the father you have the God given authority to bless your child. Every time a father says I’m proud of you, I love you, your beautiful, God releases strength into your child. Value, confidence, security, those are more than just nice words it’s what the Bible calls The Blessing. You are helping you child to achieve their destiny. It’s easier to think you don’t need to do this but it’s something that needs to be done, the more the better. Don’t withhold your love your affection or your approval.
I believe this one negative cycle passed from my father’s father through my father to me. Don’t let that happen with your kids. Always remember a blessing isn’t a blessing until it’s spoken.
Life is short. It doesn’t matter how old your kids are. A phone call saying son have I told you how proud I am of you. It doesn’t matter their age, a child will always long for a father’s approval, it’s never too late.
Because of his injuries and I’m sure all the trauma that life brought him he died when I was just 20. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve wished my father was around to see some of my accomplishments. As a carpenter I’ve fixed up our families houses, I rebuilt our lake house, though we struggle at times I can’t tell you how many times I wished he was around to see it and say good job son, I’m proud of you.
Know fathers, if a young lady doesn’t get the approval from her father many times she will try to get that approval from other men. She will go from relationship to relationship not valuing who she is because she has not been valued by the most important man in her life. You are teaching your daughter how other men should treat her. You’re setting the tone for how she thinks other men should treat her. You should set the bar high. Make her standard high for the man she decides to one day choose.
When we are taught that they’re spraying our food with poison, injecting our bodies with harmful chemicals, or they’re trying to divide us, I think we should understand how much a parents action has impacted our lives. I learn things every day. Knowledge is power and we should be aware that our childhood has a lot to do with the rails that guide our lives. J.Goodrich
Not many people make a point to acknowledge these things, and I'm thankful that you're sharing this.
It's true; parents have the ability to impact their children in a unique and profound manner. The family unit is a sacred institution, and its influence is practically insurmountable, whether for good or evil.
My own father, though not perfect, has been the biggest gift I've ever received; in over three decades of life, I have not once experienced him wavering or neglecting his position in my life as someone entrusted with my education, growth, and well-being. Together with my mother, he gave me the paradigm of reference for what "standards" are, how they're formed, and what they should look like. I hope to honor my parent's legacy through my own decisions and parenting, and I thank God every day for the blessing they are to us.
James, thank you for sharing that. There’s a lot of wisdom in what you say.
What an incredible story! Thank you for sharing it. Well stated wisdom.
What a beautiful tribute to your Dad James. Tears in my eyes while reading it. And thank you for the sage advice about our children and how we interact with them. May your Christmas be full of peace and joy.
Major problem of ghetto youth; too many don’t even know who their father is, and too many don’t even know know who they’ve ‘fathered’.
And look how well they’ve turned out.
And don't limit it to the "ghetto." Too many kids in the US today grow up without a father in the home. Not intended to criticize mothers, but as the original post said, fathers bring something to raising children that mothers don't.
That thought was in my mind and I heartily agree. All children need a good father and the epidemic of broken homes has led to much dysfunction.
Beautiful, heartfelt comment. Thank you, J. Goodrich!
I suggest that President Trump issue an Executive Order directing that the executive office building be immediately power washed. That way they can get to the paint job without delay come January.
Power washing is an abuse of water conservation, says Judge Boasberg. Furthermore, the EOB must be restored to its dingy brown/gray color. I’m Just predicting future headlines.
The awful thing is you're probably correct. There's no line remaining between satire and reality when it comes to the judicial system.
I agree with washing the building. I'd like to hear from archaeological restoration specialists as to the painting of the granite. Not everything is fixed with a splash of paint, like using cement to fix lime mortar will destroy brick work.
I’m sure there is a special coating that is fine to use on stone. “Paint” doesn’t always mean ordinary house paint. I think President Trump probably knows that, being an expert in the building trade!!
My daughter majored in historic preservation and is a real estate developer. You would be surprised what real estate developers don't know or care about!
Donald Trump resurrected the historical ice rink in NYC, when no one else could. And it had been tried by many for a very long time.
I feel sure he could find just the right solution.
Historic Preservation is important and paint isn't good for every material.
Yes. Most stonework needs to breathe.
If it’s smooth stone won’t it peel in a few years?
Absolutely
I’m assuming they are just using that word for effect. ?
Many of the missions in the west were almost destroyed due to the same principals.
They power wash the gothic buildings in Europe all the time…SO.
I thought the SAME thing. Chlorox it till they bleach it white. Then paint it when they aren’t looking.
If I remember correctly Majorie Taylor Greene stated she would resign from Congress because none of the bills she introduced to enact into law Trump’s executive orders have even reached the committee level for consideration. Yet Trump called her a traitor, when he should have taken aim at House Speaker Mike Johnson. Republicans are their own worst enemy. It’s time to dump the two party system and start another party. We could call it the “Tea Party.” Maybe instead of passing new laws, a new invigorated Congress could dump (repeal) a warehouse full of existing laws, eliminate a host of unconstitutional federal agencies and return usurped powers back to states and the people.
Here’s an idea that does an end run around everyone: I believe that much of what is wrong in America could be easily remedied by separating spending from funding. Let elected representatives debate and propose spending all they want BUT only citizen taxpayers should be able to approve funding. If each and every budget were subjected to approval by citizen taxpayers and audited by Doge the American people would quickly get the government they want to the extent they are willing to pay for it. This would restore a good deal of harmony between people of very different political persuasions. Let everyone put their own tax money where their mouth is. Let every citizen taxpayer take responsibility for how our government operates by assigning their tax dollars for or not for every proposed spending measure every year with every tax return. Let budgets shrink or swell based on performance and real time achievement of goals without graft, manipulation, fraud or waste, which would find that an annual review with the help of Doge and citizen taxpayers choices would accomplish what politicians can’t!
I've often said that we should be able to allocate our own tax dollars. That is, the 50% or so of us that actually pay taxes.
I’m glad to know someone agrees with me!😱
That's all too logical. What are you, crazy?
Probably. I still believe that even stupid and ill informed people get a whole lot smarter quickly when it’s tangibly their money being used. I don’t think it would take too long for literally everyone who is having his/her hard work pilfered to come up to speed. The focus on performance by government spending would be as shocking to spenders as a large dose of castor oil is to a constipated cow!
Constipated cow? Leave Hillary outta this.
Jeff, don't insult the cow. They are more lovely and productive than the hag ever was.
Yes, you're right. A few years back, I met a rescue named Rudy who would play tag, chase beach balls, and hip check unsuspecting visitors. Personality plus!
Oh I am definitely of the opinion that for every bill passed, three need to be eliminated...especially in Annapolis....
Congress needs a purge. Random citizens chosen as by jury rolls for single year terms could probably do far better.
But it is congress that would have to vote to allow such... or even reasonable term limits.
Such a Bill would never even make it to the floor. Bipartisan grifters... crooks... scum.
Remember, trump promised to order a deep investigation of congress-turds that entered congress with maybe a few hundred thousand... and after just a few years, have become multi-millionaires.
"Promises made... promises broken."
Term limits should’ve been in the founding of Congress.
Agree. Getting them in now is impossible.
Maybe not if it could be done state by state.
Ah... good point!
Of course, blue states would vote to keep the worst cockroaches in congress forever...
Low swine like Raskin, Schiff, Goldman, Fine, Blumenthal, Sanders, Wasserman-Shitbird, Cohen, Sherman...
OOPS!! I guess that would be called "antisemitism"!!! :-D
Agree
I am beginning to think the only option for Trump is to NOT SUPPORT the reelection of any R currently in House and Senate. WHY does he support Graham?!?!? Why should he support any congressman????
Graham is one of the worst along with now mentally impaired Mitch McConnell. Term limits for Congress is the answer. And, of course, fair elections.
You should not vote for Graham, you should vote for Trump supporter and patriotic man that is trying to primary him
Oh, that’s really smart, let the other side win each election then.
I KNOW- that’s the problem. But if we keep voting for RINO’s the other side wins anyway 🤷🏻♀️it’s a conundrum!!!
Jeff has covered this. Because of Ms.Lindsey’s connections, he is going to be elected in S.C. He is a critical vote for Trump, when push comes to shove.
As the game is played, the most votes wins. The holiest, most righteous sounding candidate is of no effect if they do not win.
Also, a bunch of righteous sounding Tea Party candidates totally flipped Left after being elected. They said what they needed to say to get elected. We’re dealing with snakes and some are in disguise.
Trump is so obviously no longer his own man... supporting a corrupt, deviant maggot like graham is one clue...
Supporting, arming and funding Israel's mass-slaughter in Gaza is another... as is his frantic attempts at obstructing the release of unredacted Epstein files...
Let alone his appalling refusal to release the promised 911 and JFK files.
All of which have the same foundation: Zionist Israel.
I’m so torn about this. I do feel that he has so much to do he is picking the easy stuff first. Things are such a mess and I like every step he is taking. And I guess to keep the Z enemy at bay he is supporting snakes like Graham. But at some point there will be nothing else to do but declare he is for US or Z. But I suspect he has a few more years of housekeeping first
You like his support and funding of Israel's mass-murder?
That's hardly "keeping the Z-scum at bay"... right?
IMO... he has already declared.
Let's call it the "Coffee" Party.
MTG must have had PMS over the weekend.
A conservative posted one sentence to her on X. Something like, "finish out your term."
She went on a rant calling him misogynist and spewing nonsense.
She really lost the plot.
She ought to serve the country, not Trump. And give time for a decent replacement to arise.
I’m sorry, but this really cracks me up!

I’ve been watching politics for too long. Man will never solve our problems, but God can be in control of our lives. You can laugh or cry and these days I like to laugh.
I didn't see it... perhaps it is the stress of being railroaded out of a position she loved... being demonized for speaking the TRUTH about may things, especially Israel (which got her booted)... being only one of TWO that refused the malignant AIPAC bribes... calling a spade a spade...
Throwing a fine honest patriot under the bus is so typical of MAGAs today.
Is this response really a "rant"... "spewing nonsense"? You think she has not been living under multiple threats for years??

Yes, menopause as we know can do that. This is my suspicion.

Medal of Honor recipients should get 5x what a worthless member of Congress gets.
And directly from the likes of people such as Pelosi/Schumer/et al and orgs like Antifa. No one in this country should appreciate the military sacrifices more than the far left. Many other countries would put their vitriolic heads on a block and be done with them. But our soldiers fight for the far left to be able to spread their vitriol.
I wouldn’t rule out Republicans like MTG and one eye McCain. Got knows how much Cocaine Mitch had stolen.
"They like it ugly. That’s no exaggeration. But that analysis must wait for a different day’s post."
This explains the Obama library.
And Hillary. Just sayin
😂
Now that’s funny
There is NO explanation for the Obama Library.
There is, actually. It's due to the Obamas lacking even a vestige of good taste and appreciation of beauty. Someone has told them "this is good; this is powerful" and they believed it.
I am reminded of their grotesque official portraits, which the Obamas apparently liked and approved.
Or else it is disguising a massively twisted sense of humor.
Nothing says "Up yours, America" better than a massive hideous edifice towering over its surroundings, erected as a monument to Obama's ego and built with other people's money.
I don’t believe they possess a sense of humor.
You mean the Liebarry.
I don't know about that - saw a picture of it compared to a North Korean guard tower and it looked pretty dang close!
https://x.com/ScottAdamsSays/status/1979903820885848443
lol- it is a hideous looking building. Maybe fitting for what we’ve been learning as more and more is revealed, about Obama.
Trump will finish his library, before the Liebarry has one little red book.
Precisely.
Re the Medal of Honor story, wouldn't you just love to see all the Medal winners standing before Congress saying, "thanks for the raise, now please cut spending by a couple of trillion dollars so that what we fought for doesn't die!"
What a picture! And all the "disability" pay recipients as well. What a scam that is. I wonder if anyone has the break down on money given to truly disabled vs just signs of age or life?
What they fought for? This what must be done, barring a miracle of the Almighty, to save the country https://healthranger.com/FinancialBigBang/
This executive building will look great after Trump updates it.
He knows what he's doing; Trump flipped the historic Old Post Office Pavilion to make it one of the fanciest hotels around.
https://www.trump.com/hotels/trump-international-hotel-washington-dc
Hilarious. So they’re fighting THIS MAN? The one dedicated to the preservation of the historic structure?
“In 2012, The Trump Organization was selected by the General Services Administration to redevelop the Nation's Old Post Office in one of the most competitive selection processes in the history of the agency. Over twenty of the top hotel companies in the world bid on the project, and The Trump Organization was awarded the job based on the strength of Trump development capabilities, financial wherewithal, vision for the property, and dedication to the preservation of the historic structure.
That was before both the Democrats and the Republicans in power went from appreciating his business acumen to despising it. TDS is a very real thing.

Yeah but tds.
He should go ahead and paint it...much easier to ask for forgiveness than permission. The media realm are professionals at it.
Good morning. It’s another terrific day for me
You must be drinking some strong coffee!
I started early. : )
I am so glad that our pathetic Congress passed at least 1 bill. I firmly believe that the Medal of Honor recipients deserve this upgrade in their pension. Now I also firmly believe that all federal pensions for Congress and the Senate should be null and void. I also think that after 5 years any presidents pension should be cancelled. Just my thoughts. Thank you Jeff for sharing this good news.
They ought to have a wonderful pension and healthcare plan - just like ours. In fact, exactly the same as ours. SS & Medicare.

If you look at the board of directors and staff of the DC Preservation League (not Society), it all becomes crystal clear. Full of AWFLs and swamp creatures down to their last prejudice. I would be willing to bet good money that every single one of them is a registered Democrat suffering from TDS. How else to explain their petty desire to thwart Trump and maintain that awful, ugly monster of a badly maintained building in its present condition? The judge who is allowing them block this innocent project was appointed by Trump during his first administration, before he learned to distrust most of the people "advising" him, is also a swamp creature.
