““You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.”
AMEN! A must see is the movie, "Reagan". My wife and I went yesterday and it was a very informative and thoughtfully written story. There were many things we didn't know about "Ronny" that is very inspiring and touching.
I understand some people may have translation preferences. The intent behind it is what matters the most. If we go by the KJV only crowd well it's got to be in the original Aramaic if you want to be originalist.
I had to learn that my preference is exactly that! I am not God. I have to be cautious about the hills I go to die on.
I have the Spirit through which I am granted wisdom and discernment as I study His word.
Plus today we have app’s available and we can cross reference with other Bible versions and research the history of a word if we feel it’s being misused or to understand the usage better.
It's the Holy Spirit that leads us into all Truth. Not a particular translation committee.
God is fully aware of the choices that translators make. He even communicates to us in the different choices made. The differences call our attention to the passage. We can then discern, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, what the meaning of the passage is. We do this by comparing passages to context, from local context to broad.
100%, Tom. Words cannot express “how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ.” (Ephesians 3:18). “The things that come from the Spirit of God . . . are discerned only through the Spirit” (1 Corinthians 2:14.)
“In the beginning was the Word” (John 1:1), and our tiny minds cannot grasp everything that means. Our best Spirit-guided word choices are insufficient to fully encompass “I am.” Spiritual truths defy vocabulary.
BibleGateway has a wonderful tool for comparing versions and translations. Comparing and contrasting them in the Spirit adds width, length, height, and depth to our understanding of our God.
In the 70s Jesus Movement years, 'Good News for Modern Man' was instrumental in introducing Christ to many young people. It was often seen being read on the subways of NYC.
Two Noodles! Where are you today? On the front lines winning the CIA's nice little war? Please do give us an update? Because we know we can count on you. And we know that you would never desert the battle for some quiet lunch counter somewhere.
You will always tell us the truth. Because you are an original originalist source kind of dude!
Almost right. The Torah is written in Hebrew. The earliest translation was to Aramaic as that was the popular spoken language. That was translated into Greek. Then to Latin. As a result the KJV has many mistranslations. Some done purposefully to defame the Jews. For instance the concept of Jews having horns is a mistranslation of the word for cloud. It says he had a cloud around his head.
I believe certain sections of Daniel written from Nebuchadnezzar's point of view or maybe his own words were also written in Aramaic? I'm trying to recall Chuck Missler Bible studies from years ago...
By "New Testament" times, Greek was the more universal language, and The Septuagint is a Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible (Tanakh) made by 72 Jewish scholars in the 3rd-1st centuries BC, before the birth of Jesus even. It was a translation from Hebrew and Aramaic into Greek.
Yes, parts of Daniel were in Aramaic from the start, as far as scholars can tell. The rest of the Tanakh was Hebrew.
The good news is that modern translations start from the original Hebrew/Aramaic/Greek, so we don't have to worry about possible errors from each of those translations steps. (Older ones like the original KJV did translate from the second-hand latin, but mainly because that was all they had available at the time.)
Moses was clearly not "reared from the cradle among Egypt's elite." See Exodus 2. "When the child [Moses] grew older, she [his Hebrew mother] took him to Pharaoh’s daughter and he became her son." More than likely, Moses grew up in a multi-lingual environment, but it would be natural for him to record Hebrew history and Hebrew law for his people in his and their native language.
That's true. I had forgotten in the moment that Pharaoh's daughter allowed his own mother to raise him until we was weaned and so no longer ''in the cradle.'' She also made a deal with Pharoah's daughter that he would be made aware of his original people group.
Exactly! When God called him to confront Pharaoh, Moses had long since fled from Egypt and was tending sheep with his Hebrew father-in-law on the Arabian Peninsula. I read recently that Egyptians were too cool to work livestock—or their religion forbade it—and it’s a stretch to assume Hebrew shepherds spoke Egyptian to each other. Biblical interpretations go wildly awry when we aren’t accurately citing Scripture and “rightly dividing the word of truth” (2 Timothy 2:15).
Moses left Egypt and eventually returned to his own people, with a period of time in between in Midian where he met his first wife and God in The Burning Bush. He led his people out of Egypt and was the leader of the Hebrews at the time he wrote the Torah, the first five books of the Old Testament.
According to the biblical account, Moses died at the age of 120, as recorded in Deuteronomy 34:7. Specifically, it states: “Moses was a hundred and twenty years old when he died, yet his eyes were not weak nor his strength gone.”
"Additionally, the passage describes Moses’ death as occurring after he climbed Mount Nebo, where God showed him the whole land of Canaan, and then Moses died. This event is also mentioned in Numbers 27:12-23 and Deuteronomy 31:1-8; 32:48-52; 34:1-12.
It’s worth noting that the biblical account does not provide an exact date for Moses’ death, as the chronology of the biblical narrative is not always precise. However, based on the biblical account, Moses died at the age of 120, after leading the Israelites out of slavery in Egypt and receiving the Ten Commandments from God."
Couldn't Moses have written in the same language God wrote in? Likely the same language that was split up into different people groups' languages at the Tower of Babel.
I'm less interested in what a scholar or scholars say about the Bible than what the Bible says about any and every topic, directly and indirectly.
When the Holy Spirit is the teacher, He can lead even me into all truth.
Matthew 12:32
And whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come.
When you have read the entire Bible cover to cover many times, you will start to notice patterns and themes and get a better sense of the nature of God.
The written Word of God and His Creation are the best testimony of God.
It's okay to study under scholars but it's best to read the text first and learn more about the scholars and where they are coming from before commiting to being their student or disciple.
I'm not actually aware of any place that directly claims the text was written down right at the time all these things were happening (except for the law "engraved on stone by the hand of God", but that's more about an artifact, the "tablets of the law", rather than the text of Exodus). It's entirely within the bounds of orthodoxy to believe that it was written down at some later point.
Plus, it would be perfectly fine to most Christian scholars to believe that it was originally written in a different form of the language and updated over time as the language changed; they would just hold that God directed the process to preserve His message.
You seem hell-bent on discrediting Judeo-Christian tradition, EJ. A quick online search says, "The first evidence of written Hebrew comes from the 10th century BCE, in the form of a fragment of the Hebrew Bible." Please cite your sources because I'm trying to not laugh at the picture of Moses coming down from Mt. Sinai with ten Hebrew commandments written in Egyptian.
While this answer does not dispute the existence of Moses, it describes different thoughts about the language he may have used.
''However, some scholars suggest that Moses may have written the Torah in an early form of Hebrew, as Classical Hebrew did not yet exist during his time. This is supported by the fact that the Torah as we now have it is in Classical Hebrew.
Additionally, some researchers point to proto-consonantal Hebrew (PCH) inscriptions from the Egyptian New Kingdom (1560–1069 BC) as evidence that the Israelites were able to read and write, and therefore, Moses could have written down the Torah in Hebrew.''
Since you are asking questions about Moses from the point of view of either an agnostic or atheist point of view (?), then it would take more study on my part and more time than I have to devote to properly address your entire topic in depth about the origin of languages and my level of understanding is too shallow. I bow to scholars like Dr Michael Heiser who was a Biblical Scholar (https://nakedbiblepodcast.com/) who was well versed in the original semitic languages and the history of the the Biblical period, including customs, idioms and so on. And words that are borrowed and cannibalized from one language to another, that type of thing.
Semitic language has a much older origin than 800BC.
That literally brought me to tears this morning, feeling God, feeling the beauty of it all. Thank you so much for sharing that here. I may never have found it.
That's very cool. Maybe add a few trees clapping their hands? Watch this movie if you get a chance. It always leaves me with my mouth hanging open. https://tinyurl.com/yezsb4tj
This is an interesting video by an astrophysicist proving the existence of God using numbers. Even if you’re not a math nerd, the presentation is pretty extraordinary and beautiful. So when you have some time on your hands, it’s worth watching.
Memorize this quote from the Moraes/Musk story: "After all, de Moraes can’t lock them all up for tweeting."
When tens of millions of American citizens cease paying federal income taxes, in protest of progressive policies like those on display in Springfield, we'll need a firm belief that the IRS can't lock us all up for denying the government the payment it demands via its police powers.
I had the same thought during Covid. We need to stick together as a block to stop anything they want to do to us. Do not comply! Do not give them your consent.
Same here 😔 I was disheartened at how many Americans caved and continued to cave even when the tide shifted. We are lazy, entitled, and too comfortable and many have forgotten that freedom comes at a price we today aren’t willing to pay. So sad.
When I got refused service at Safeway for not wearing a suffocation device, people in the store cheered. This is a situation I will never forget…on top of losing my career of 23 years for non-CONvid compliance.
Was looking for an item of clothing and opened a drawer with my collection of face diapers inside. I kept them as a reminder of the tyranny. Seeing them made me sick to my stomach.
They won’t make that forum thank God!! Hallelujah that God took them all out from our beautiful Country!! We are the best place to live and we have a whole other world better than here on the other side of the ice wall. There is so much for the young ones who make it through. Byrd found it back in the 50’s. But like everything else it’s been hidden from us!
Did you see the big parade in Brazil yesterday for the President? They cleared off huge fields all around route, and the aerial shot I saw, there was almost no one in attendance. Maybe a few dozen scattered people in huge wide open fields. Governments may suppress our free speech and ability to protest, but people will find a way to express our disfavor. It probably won’t matter, but I liked it anyway. Wish I’d saved the link, I saw it on X.
That’s interesting because what Charlie Kirk put on his page was the citizens as far as the eye could see, protesting against the corrupt evil dude against him and the attack on free speech and X. It was AMAZING!
The massive protest against Luna and for Bolsonaro was amazing. Hundreds of thousands of people. Luna is not in control of the people and they are letting him know.
Good point. But, the majority of the citizens are afraid of the government.....it should be the other way around. Tax strike! And ..don't buy anything from large ( WEF) korporations for one day ( yes, it's asking a lot but small sacrifices count)... shut off all media tools for one day.
The trick is to get everyone on the same page OFF social media so they don’t know what we’re doing. Then do it! I said this about small businesses during covid. They didn’t have the courage alone to stand up, nor would they have won. Had they got together off social media collectively they could have stood up TOGETHER. It’s a shame we don’t have a William Wallace nowadays.
But how do you stop your employer from deducting those taxes from your paycheck? Even if they deduct the minimum amount, you'll never get it back unless you "apply" for a refund from the IRS, after YOU prove to THEM that you're entitled to it. Good luck with that one. Just sayin'...
You fill out a form and tell your employer what to withhold. You can claim zero, or even a negative number, according to a former office manager I worked with, but check that out with the IRS regulations or your tax advisor.
The problem is taxes don’t matter. Only 1/3 of the many trillions of .gov is from taxes. The rest is printed out of thin air by the Fed and “borrowed” by .gov. There is nothing stopping .gov from borrowing 100% of spending - at least until the whole borrowing scheme and dollar thoroughly collapse.
Every employer is the tax collector. The only way to stop paying income tax is to stop working, I did that by retiring, and stop paying local sales tax by not buying anything. They are masterfully crafty and complicated.
IRS do not want nor need to lock anybody up. They can simply confiscate what they believe they are entitled to from our financial accounts, grab our wages, encumber our real estate. Only if functionaries decline to cooperate in this would they need to lock anybody up.

If I may, I'd like to edit:
When tens of millions of American citizens 𝘭𝘦𝘨𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 cease paying federal income taxes... --
Knowledge mitigates or releases one from fear, aka the truth shall set you free. --
If you haven't learned the truth about USC 26 (the Internal Revenue Code), it might be time. -? No surprise, the truth is buried in the three million plus words in the code. But! the go-to resource on the truth is now available online in its entirety for fre*e. The scholarly work is titled, 𝐶𝑟𝑎𝑐𝑘𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝐶𝑜𝑑𝑒: 𝑇ℎ𝑒 𝐹𝑎𝑠𝑐𝑖𝑛𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑇𝑟𝑢𝑡ℎ 𝐴𝑏𝑜𝑢𝑡 𝑇𝑎𝑥𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑖𝑛 𝐴𝑚𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑎 by Peter Eric Hendrickson. The original published book is 200+ pages. The author released the information just over a year ago around the 20th anniversary of the book's first printing. As said, it is now available online at no cost on the author's website: https://www.losthorizons.com The material is dense, not an easy read, but presented in easily understood language, you know, for us non lawyer, not-schooled-in-legalese types. --
At this point it should come as no surprise that you have been hoodwinked on yet another score about the federal income tax, who has a liability and who does not. Hint: the majority of Americans do not. --
BTW, also in the plethora of information on the author's website you can read about how he and his family have been persecuted by the government for decades. (You'll have to dig but it's there.) Think lawfare. I wonder why the government would do such a thing... There are those who in a quick google (*insert eye roll) search, or maybe other engines I can't say, will be served up much false information about the author and buy it without further investigation. Shame. Skip the deep dive to your detriment, I say. Some people don't pay federal income tax. Check out the Bulletin Board section of the website (linked above). Sample of an educated American posted on you tube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pB8IUKpxqJ0 --
Be not afraid - repeated in some form 365 times in a wonderful book that I'll bet you might be able to pull another quote or two off the top of your head...
These tax protesters have been around for decades. They argue all kinds of nonsensical theories about why you don't owe federal income taxes, and dupe a few of the slower-witted into refusing to file - to their later financial ruin.
One by one the most notorious tax protesters get prosecuted and they invariably use the same excuse "It's not my fault because I had a good faith *belief* that I didn't have to pay taxes."
Then they go to federal prison.
Don't fall for it. Seek a real tax attorney's advice. They will all tell you this is batsh*t crazy.
As stated, some will do a surface search and simply glide over the deeper investigation required for understanding. BTW, your link provides no information with regard to the author or anything contained in his extensive writings. It's a shame you're captive to the inverted matrix. Best wishes.
I read the material you referenced. Have you read the material I referenced? When you do so thoroughly, and vet it for yourself, to the nᵗʰ degree if you choose, then we will be able to settle in for an informed discussion. I wish you only the best.
They don't need to rely on arresting people these days when they can use monetary sticks and carrots. And the CBDCs will just escalate their ability to keep people in line.
But it requires we all act in unison. If not in unison then too many of us would end up in prison before it teaches them the lesson. I can’t afford attorney fees to fight them so my trial would be quick and unfair.
And that’s what keeps us all in line. They weaponized the justice system against us. Solidified we will not rise up against their tyranny. They are evil and everything they do is calculated.
I think part of the problem with this taxes example is that our employers pay the taxes on our behalf…stores collect the taxes and pay them, etc. I do agree we should stand on things like nonsense restrictions or those that violate our rights like many of us did during Covid…but I was surprised how few were willing to take a step of non compliance….The Essential Church movie explains how Christians mostly handled this recent challenge incorrectly as well.
I remember watching the Trump Train escort that Biden-Harris bus when it happened and thinking that was such a great peaceful protest but they’d probably get in trouble.
Not like the patriots involved didn’t realize they’d be a target either, but their actions gave a much needed morale boost to many patriots. (And it was funny.) I hope they trounce their opponents in court.
I would fine Ms. Davis’ bus driver and every Trump-Train Trucker who drove 45 mph in the fast lane. I like conservatives pushing back like radical liberals, but elections might be the last best place to protest.
Cat lives matter is the new BLM. AWFLs only care about the mean cat ladies term, but not when cats get eaten by “newcomers”. Perhaps they should invite Haitian gang leader Barbecue to their homes for an anti-racist dinner…
Haitians also sacrifice chickens in their horrible voodoo (aka: demon worship/occult) practices. The people in that town need to watch any live chickens.
People on Twitter tried to defend Haitian cat consumption by pointing out that it was necessary for their voodo ritual. ("Oh, okay, then. Take Fluffy.")
The practice is no less barbaric in one ritual than another.
'The Kaparot ritual, which traditionally takes place one day before Yom Kippur, consists of waving a live chicken above one's head while reciting specific verses from the Mahzor, a special holiday prayerbook. Kaparot literally means "atonement," and the practice is meant to transfer one's sins to the chicken.'
I went to Chabad.org to get an understanding about this & I found out that they can use money or fish instead of a chicken. The Kaparot prayer is beautiful.
after reading how much the locals despise the Canadian geese, maybe consider letting them go on the geese, but find a way to make it too expensive to touch the ducks or cats...
maybe amend the sanctuary laws to exclude duck-or-cat-hunting-and-eating migrants...
I'm wondering why they don't take a page out of Martha's Vineyard's playbook and declare an emergency and put them on a military base somewhere...
It's like the guy said--someone is getting paid. Paid to let them in, paid to turn a blind eye, paid to do nothing and let kids on their way to school die.
Plus, by mixing them right into town, it gets everybody riled.
If the men of Ukraine aren't willing to fight for their own country (eye roll) then why should anyone else? Because of course they aren't fighting for the own country but a NATO-backed globalist neocon regime. They aren't stupid, they know this.
When the war started, people with means left Ukraine to avoid the draft. Estimates are that well over 600k military aged males fled, anyone with enough money to get out did. Those stuck to be rounded up by the corrupt regime were only those too broke or too foolish to see what was going on.
The people of Ukraine won't fight for their own country but we have countless keyboard warriors (sitting safely in the US, UK, and Israel) demanding we defend "Ukrainian Democracy". The whole thing would be laughable if it wasn't obviously a demonic sacrifice of tens of thousands of human lives.
I have a feeling that they know they are fighting for Zelenskyy and Biden. Our billions aren’t going to help the troops, but to enrich the US Grifters calling themselves honorable.
Maybe Springfield could deport the Haitians to Ukraine? Although they probably wouldn’t make very good fighters and their fellow soldiers would probably be worried about cannibalism.
You’re not too far off the mark. The end goal in Ukraine is to steal the land( hi Blackrock) & replace the people. I’m going out on a limb to say maybe Put8n doesn’t want that happening in his backyard?
Blackrock made a deal soon after the start of the SMO to purchase 30% of Ukraine-their best soil-as part of the "rebuild" after the SMO. Monsanto & Conagra (owned by Blackrock) were part of the deal.
The problem that arose was that Russia took that land and they ain't givin it back.
People should refuse to fight any and all of these fake CIA manufactured wars which exist only for the self-aggrandisement of the looting, murderous elite few. Rejection of Fake Wars is a rejection of Evil. And a rejection of Evil is moral.
I totally reject that Ukrainians are 'fighting' for their country. The Ukrainians are mere conscripted proxies, cannon fodder to someone else's murdering and looting. The real fight for the Ukraine is against the US/EU/NATO complex that moved in on the Ukraine and has torn up the place to shreds. And by the way, the same people who instigated the war and who are behind razing the Ukraine to the ground in the name of 'democracy' are doing the exact same thing all across the Collective West ... including the United States.
Anybody getting in bed with the United States is getting into bed with Death ... pure and simple.
Dick Cheney and his daughter make their money off proxy wars. They, US, UK NATO kiboshed a 2022 peace plan brokered by Israel and Turkey that Zelensky was about to approve. The Cheney’s are war mongers.
And I hold Dick Cheney and Baby Bush responsible for 911 and for what ensued (Surveillance State, Endless Wars, the Destruction of America, Terrorism as a political philosophy). The Cheney's are Uni-Party NeoCons pure and simple.
Sadly Sherry, I have to agree with you. It's a national tragedy.
They write desertion is a problem "Especially among newly recruited soldiers" - by recruited they mean pulled off the street and pressed into service? Or are these fresh volunteers?
My proposal to turn the recruitment numbers and this war around is simple: Just conscript everyone with a Ukraine flag in their Twitter or LinkedIn Bio. (I'm kidding of course, I think it's a human rights violation if either side does it, Russia is also forcing men into the fight).
I think this headline was planted for the purpose of garnishing support from American citizens for whatever new millions/billions of our tax dollars will be sent to Ukraine, and possibly American forces even. I think it’s the start of desensitizing us to deployments. Don’t let it succeed. Remain angry, remain opposed.
Maybe, I'm wondering if the next escalation would be hiring mercenaries. Instead of sending troops directly just pay the UA government to pay a US company to hire veterans or even active duty military who get leave to go over there and fight. All the neocon warhawks can then claim to help veterans and the military and the money even stays in the US...
My 'solution' is to tell the NeoCon Congress, "Since you like war and democracy so much, you go and fight the war." It's always the same with these people. Fill their own pockets and send someone else to do the dying.
I can already guess their response: "We didn't declare war so technically this isn't a war so we shouldn't go, please excuse my I'll have to call my stock broker".
Remember when troops were assembled by leading citizens assuming the title “Colonel,” rounding up their neighbors, and leading them into battle? That’s honorable even if war is rarely.
Men have been regularly been kidnapped off Ukraine streets for 2 years now, and forced into service, untrained, and used as cannon fodder in the front lines.
Because they are heavily into the occult. I believe that is the real reason that their side of the island is a hell hole and the Dominican Republic is paradise *in comparison*.
In comparison. DR people, black and white, seem like quite decent people in general, from the many I have met here in South Florida. They are the ones who tell me of the difference. Also, there are beautiful beaches and resorts in DR. I don't know of any in Haiti, do you?
Why do we protect all the invaders? Canadian geese are mean, nasty, dirty, vile, obnoxious creatures that need to be rounded up and shipped back to Communist Canada. 😳
Yes, indeed! I remember in my childhood when these migratory waterfall would pass high overhead in fall and spring it was a big event. I would accompany my dad on hunts for geese and ducks; the birds knew they were in danger and would be very cautious about where they landed and didn't stay for long. It is a travesty that a species once venerated has been essentially destroyed by government decree and the same stupid mentality (cat ladylike) of "oh, look at the pretty geese, let's give our little idiot spawn white bread to feed them", to train the animals to be as stupid as they are. My wife had some immigrant chinese co-workers (these were scientists) who would see all the geese around and wonder why nobody was eating them. In any case migration is learned behavior for these animals, it only takes one generation to end it. I remember seeing a documentary about a group that would take geese under their wings so to speak and get them to migrate by training them to fly along with them in ultralight airplanes. The question has to be asked, who is more sensible, the people who see a problem and solve the problem and feed themselves at the same time or the people who just sit by and watch it fester, waiting for government to allow them to do something? Things are not always black and white. Haiti was formed by the slaves revolting and throwing the slave masters out, this earned them the eternal enmity of USA-even after slavery ended here. The people of Haiti have paid for this ever since then as the US installed one dictator after another and would not let the people alone to develop. The "chickens coming home to roost" is immigrants from countries oppressed by our enemies (WEF type globalists in US and elsewhere) coming here to escape the conditions in their home country. It is self evident that most people will want to stay in the place where they feel a sense of community and commonality of customs and language. There is a reason why they are here, and yes part of it is to serve the interests of the globo commie class but it would not work if they were able to stay home and live decent lives.
Richard, I am a catlady who loves her animals tremendously but I won’t take your catlady dig personally. I think the overarching point here is that life is waaayy out of balance.… with the stupid geese that now overrun us, and with the lamentable (Haitian) immigrant situation — both of which our country has largely encouraged and brought upon ourselves. It’s funny to compare two seemingly disparate issues, but both the geese and the (Haitian) immigrants have been brought upon us by misplaced compassion and terrible policy.
You are right the Haitian condition is a very long story and very sad indeed. They are the poorest country in the western hemisphere. I’ve spent time in D.R. next door, and the differences are stark. My heart goes out to the Haitian people because our country with all its intervention has made their situation infinitely worse. Still, feeling sorry and allowing them to invade our country is NOT the way to fix it.
Lol, “I” knew THAT and, as you don’t know ME, I rarely if ever make a mistake when posting anything as 👁 like throwing off algorithms as much as possible and using code. Tout bien?
Wait no sheriffs in NY? I grew up in NY state and we certainly had them in my county and the neighboring counties at the very least. Or did you mean NYC? I can’t speak to the city as I never lived there.
It could be part of their satanic voodoo rituals too. Probably why bidumdum let them come over here. To inflict satanic pain on the population. So sick.
Speaking of Cheney: There's a book written by Cathy O'Brien, a woman who was a CIA-controlled MK Ultra victim. She was prostituted to several politicians, including him, according to the book. I don't recommend the book because it is just hard to read, and our government is much worse than you know. I couldn't finish it. (And she had to live it, not just read about it.) But if you want it, it's online.
I read her book over ten years ago. It was a painful awakening to the evil, evil elite who rule in many places in the world. I found it hard to get through, and for a while, I would shake my head and think, no, that can’t be true…sadly I came to see it as it was less hidden by the proud elites.
On another note, last year I came across an interview with Cathy O’Brian who has emerged from her former life healed and blessed through her forgiveness and understanding of the evil treatment (words fail me here) inflicted on her.
Frankly saying that they are killing the local geese makes me happy to have them here! The liberals don't want you to kill anything so the goose population and the amount of slimy excrement and time wasted waiting on long lines of road crossings in the shopping areas of this city are unbearable. Goose season would be a brilliant way to feed the hungry but there are laws and they make us feel good about our love for life...of our ancestors or something... But not children.
It has helped America in NO way to flood it with people from Haiti.
After the blacks killed every last white person after the slave rebellion, Haiti has been mired in total shit-hole status. They've done nothing to better themselves.
Next door Dominican Republic shares the same island and is many times more prosperous. They also won't let the Haitians in because of trouble.
I have a solution to the Haitian problem. Bus them to Bill and Hillary's NY town. The Clintons love "helping" Haitians. [More like helping themselves to Haitian "relief" money, and young children who "disappear".] Problem solved. Or, they could bus them to apartment buildings around Denver that the Venezuelan gangs like taking over. Who would win, the cannibals or the gangsters? And who would Kacklin and Tampon Tim back?
They literally sit in their cushy well-funded seats laughing at all of us, “they’ll do nothing. Watch, we can drop 20,000 Haitians on their town and all they will do is complain. They are impotent and serve us.” Why do we as a nation, a community, remain docile to how we are treated???
I wonder what the betting odds between the Springfield Haitians and the drugged out homeless of San Francisco or Oakland would be? Let’s get ready to rumble!
Love it. This is perfect. They could invite Laura Silsby to sit on the board and oversee it all, although she might have trouble keeping her hands off the kids.
Since the 1960’s, Springfield’s population slowly drained from 80,000 down to 60,000." So, if I have this right, the gov. brought in these illegals to fill the job openings the locals wouldn't fill. If there were job unfilled openings, why did 20,000 locals leave for jobs elsewhere? Can they name one illegal, who is filling one of those jobs? Two would be exciting!
The government (democrats) register the illegals to vote right after they are handed drivers licenses. It is illegal for them to vote, so most won't try it, but now the democrats have lists of voter names to use for fraudulent voting for Kamala and friends. This is what's really going on...
What ever happened to the good ole Wild West. The citizens of Springfield should show up in huge amounts locked and loaded and tell those invaders to leave. If you think this is going to stop when Trump is elected, think again. There are so many invaders it's going to take the people to step up and help any way they can. When I read they were eating ducks and cats, I almost died, when is enough enough, you simply must stand up for yourselves, I didn't put up with any of the "covid" nonsense or the jabs and Im only one person but I gave other people the strength they needed to disobey too. Im praying for your little town, that it becomes yours again, and keep your pets indoors. This was all said in love not anger.
Ducks and cats are the most insignificant of the problems there. It started with the liberal mindset anchored there and it's being played out according to their own teachings. I'm sick of the sappy sobbing over geese, cats, dogs, salamanders, frogs, etc etc!!
Don't miss the comment of the Springfield city council member at the e4nd of that article: Instead of demanding an end to DC-directed forced Haitian arrivals, that maroon asks for more federal funds to keep them in town. Care much about the rights of the people who pay your salary, you jackwagon?
We should ask around and get them a lawyer. Maybe they could file a civil rights suit against the federal government for depriving them of their property without due process, or something along those lines. When they cannot use and enjoy their home because migrants are camping on the front lawn, they have had a valuable right taken from them. They can't access medical services or even find food in the grocery store. That little town can't accommodate the invasion. They are probably wishing they'd gotten a horde of zombies instead.
Per the Epoch Times, September 9, article by Sina McCullough, the Endocrine Society has issued new guidelines against Vitamin D screening and routine supplementation. I’m no medical expert but, this makes zero sense unless there’s another agenda.
Don’t forget, Dr Oz magically was no longer the favored doc on the Today show after he suggested that people take Vit D to boost their immune system. Not sure, but I think he announced his bid to run for gov after that.
The is not really what they said. They recommend against blanket screening of health/no risk factor people, and recommend more supplementation for certain groups especially.
Most everything I am finding on it is from June. One article from Aug. Have not found the Epoch Times article yet
But I have upped my does from 2000 iu daily to 20,000 iu. My D level has gone from scraping the bottom of the barrel to right about in the Middle of the RDA level
An archaic law? Can't a jury simply nullify it? Or are juries even made aware of their power of "jury nullification"? If the FBI refused to prosecute, then there must not be a shred of a case.
Americans are unaware of their power as a jury. They are the ultimate judge and they don't have to abide by the judge's directions and can override any law. The jury system is our ultimate defense against tyranny and they want to keep us ignorant.
It seems like just like they have soiled the judicial system and judges to work in their favor, they have also soiled the jury system too. I’ve been called only once and was dismissed almost immediately when they asked me about my faith and if it interfered with my decision making. Well of course it does! And what’s wrong with that anyway? My faith is rooted in true justice. After that, I never had to go because I was a SAHM and couldn’t leave my kids for days on end. Since turning 50 nine years ago I have been at an age with more wisdom, less emotion, empty nest and able to do my duty, but I haven’t been called once.
Jury duty is a lottery, usually based on drivers licenses. Some people get called up fairly regularly & for some it is years in between.
When the jury pool is called in, there are ways to get off through voir dire if you don’t want to serve (connections to the legal field in general, connections to the healthcare field in a medical malpractice case, or being pro-police, etc).
Juries are getting more & more corrupt, at least here in New Mexico. Multi-multi millions of dollar verdicts. Many of the jurors probably hoping they’ll get a shot at such a case someday themselves.
In my county, I believe they use the voter registration rolls for a jury pool. I heard of one man here who was summoned to serve as a juror on his own criminal trial. He was dismissed.
About 20 years ago, my friend was called for federal jury duty. Her husband, a Libertarian, gave her a FIJA pamphlet to read on the train ride to the city. During the selection process the judge "explained" the duties of the jury, then asked if anyone had questions before they began. My friend raised her hand and asked, "Could you please explain jury nullification? This brochure I have says that juries have the power to nullify a law. What does that process look like and do we need to do that for every count against the defendant?" She said the judge turned bright red, his eyes bugged out and he stood up and pointed at the door and yelled at the top of his lungs, GET OUT! He then had to dismiss the entire room and they started over with jury selection.
🤔 Interestingly, she has never again received a jury summons. And I bet that was the last time that judge asked if anyone had questions.
Some time ago (10 yrs or more?) I read a story about jury nullification from "the old days".
A man was on trial for stealing a horse. He was, apparently, well liked in the community. The jury asked the judge: "If he returns the horse, can we find him not guilty?" The judge replied "No". The jury then came back with a not guilty verdict.
We all need better education on the power of the jury! I only heard about jury nullification recently, via this website which has lots of good jury info.
Great info there! I've always wanted to serve on a jury. The one time I finally made it down to the jury box, I was floored to find that I knew the prosecuting attorney. Then I looked at the defense attorney...she looked and sounded just like the obnoxious little person lawyer from Ally McBeal. She was belligerent from the minute she opened her mouth, and I thought she did her client no favors. Needless to say, I did not serve on that jury.
““You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.

I understand some people may have translation preferences. The intent behind it is what matters the most. If we go by the KJV only crowd well it's got to be in the original Aramaic if you want to be originalist.
The key word is “preference”!
I had to learn that my preference is exactly that! I am not God. I have to be cautious about the hills I go to die on.
I have the Spirit through which I am granted wisdom and discernment as I study His word.
Plus today we have app’s available and we can cross reference with other Bible versions and research the history of a word if we feel it’s being misused or to understand the usage better.
It's the Holy Spirit that leads us into all Truth. Not a particular translation committee.
God is fully aware of the choices that translators make. He even communicates to us in the different choices made. The differences call our attention to the passage. We can then discern, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, what the meaning of the passage is. We do this by comparing passages to context, from local context to broad.
His sheep hear His voice.
100%, Tom. Words cannot express “how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ.” (Ephesians 3:18). “The things that come from the Spirit of God . . . are discerned only through the Spirit” (1 Corinthians 2:14.)
“In the beginning was the Word” (John 1:1), and our tiny minds cannot grasp everything that means. Our best Spirit-guided word choices are insufficient to fully encompass “I am.” Spiritual truths defy vocabulary.
BibleGateway has a wonderful tool for comparing versions and translations. Comparing and contrasting them in the Spirit adds width, length, height, and depth to our understanding of our God.
I'm amazed at the spiritual depth I find here in the comments!
Even though through the process of so many translations, THE WORD OF GOD was preached to me when I was 17 and I was saved by grace!
The same Word is used to teach today and still saves souls!
In the 70s Jesus Movement years, 'Good News for Modern Man' was instrumental in introducing Christ to many young people. It was often seen being read on the subways of NYC.
one of the first Bibles my Mom gave me :)
100% Ed! God can & will use anyone and anything to get our attention. He is in all things and through all things.
I am grateful for that. I do not know how I could get through this life without Him.
He chose you and He wanted you and you were willing to hear & follow! May He continue using you to be a light in this dark world!
I enjoy reading your scripture posts each day and often using it to go down the Bible rabbit hole exploring His word! 🙌
Two Noodles! Where are you today? On the front lines winning the CIA's nice little war? Please do give us an update? Because we know we can count on you. And we know that you would never desert the battle for some quiet lunch counter somewhere.
You will always tell us the truth. Because you are an original originalist source kind of dude!
🤣 Careful there, daverkb! Invoking Two Noodles might summon up a Vonu!
Hum! An Vonu Missile attack. Definitely a possibility. And it would deserve me right for playing with fire!
Good one!
The original Bible scriptures were written in Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek, depending on the section or portion of the book.
Almost right. The Torah is written in Hebrew. The earliest translation was to Aramaic as that was the popular spoken language. That was translated into Greek. Then to Latin. As a result the KJV has many mistranslations. Some done purposefully to defame the Jews. For instance the concept of Jews having horns is a mistranslation of the word for cloud. It says he had a cloud around his head.
Where is that mistranslation, JK?
I didn't know that about the horns... yikes.
I believe certain sections of Daniel written from Nebuchadnezzar's point of view or maybe his own words were also written in Aramaic? I'm trying to recall Chuck Missler Bible studies from years ago...
By "New Testament" times, Greek was the more universal language, and The Septuagint is a Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible (Tanakh) made by 72 Jewish scholars in the 3rd-1st centuries BC, before the birth of Jesus even. It was a translation from Hebrew and Aramaic into Greek.
Yes, parts of Daniel were in Aramaic from the start, as far as scholars can tell. The rest of the Tanakh was Hebrew.
The good news is that modern translations start from the original Hebrew/Aramaic/Greek, so we don't have to worry about possible errors from each of those translations steps. (Older ones like the original KJV did translate from the second-hand latin, but mainly because that was all they had available at the time.)
You guys are saints. I passed the “get thee behind me, Satan” stage in this back-and-forth eons ago! 😂
Gaye, hahahahaha
I love the Word of God.
Elijah does not...
Too bad for Elijah.
We pray for all of the Elijahs and all who do not know and love the WORD! 🙏🏻❤️
Moses was clearly not "reared from the cradle among Egypt's elite." See Exodus 2. "When the child [Moses] grew older, she [his Hebrew mother] took him to Pharaoh’s daughter and he became her son." More than likely, Moses grew up in a multi-lingual environment, but it would be natural for him to record Hebrew history and Hebrew law for his people in his and their native language.
That's true. I had forgotten in the moment that Pharaoh's daughter allowed his own mother to raise him until we was weaned and so no longer ''in the cradle.'' She also made a deal with Pharoah's daughter that he would be made aware of his original people group.
Exactly! When God called him to confront Pharaoh, Moses had long since fled from Egypt and was tending sheep with his Hebrew father-in-law on the Arabian Peninsula. I read recently that Egyptians were too cool to work livestock—or their religion forbade it—and it’s a stretch to assume Hebrew shepherds spoke Egyptian to each other. Biblical interpretations go wildly awry when we aren’t accurately citing Scripture and “rightly dividing the word of truth” (2 Timothy 2:15).
Archeology and historical documents.
https://search.brave.com/search?q=when+did+moses+live+in+midian&source=desktop
Moses left Egypt and eventually returned to his own people, with a period of time in between in Midian where he met his first wife and God in The Burning Bush. He led his people out of Egypt and was the leader of the Hebrews at the time he wrote the Torah, the first five books of the Old Testament.
So what language did God write the ten commandments in, which was after Moses had been out of Egypt at least 40 years...
https://search.brave.com/search?q=when+did+moses+die&source=desktop&summary=1&summary_og=d325589a02401890572d51
"Moses' Date of Death
According to the biblical account, Moses died at the age of 120, as recorded in Deuteronomy 34:7. Specifically, it states: “Moses was a hundred and twenty years old when he died, yet his eyes were not weak nor his strength gone.”
"Additionally, the passage describes Moses’ death as occurring after he climbed Mount Nebo, where God showed him the whole land of Canaan, and then Moses died. This event is also mentioned in Numbers 27:12-23 and Deuteronomy 31:1-8; 32:48-52; 34:1-12.
It’s worth noting that the biblical account does not provide an exact date for Moses’ death, as the chronology of the biblical narrative is not always precise. However, based on the biblical account, Moses died at the age of 120, after leading the Israelites out of slavery in Egypt and receiving the Ten Commandments from God."
Couldn't Moses have written in the same language God wrote in? Likely the same language that was split up into different people groups' languages at the Tower of Babel.
I'm less interested in what a scholar or scholars say about the Bible than what the Bible says about any and every topic, directly and indirectly.
When the Holy Spirit is the teacher, He can lead even me into all truth.
Matthew 12:32
And whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come.
BibleGateway.com has so many translations to compare.
When you have read the entire Bible cover to cover many times, you will start to notice patterns and themes and get a better sense of the nature of God.
The written Word of God and His Creation are the best testimony of God.
It's okay to study under scholars but it's best to read the text first and learn more about the scholars and where they are coming from before commiting to being their student or disciple.
I'm not actually aware of any place that directly claims the text was written down right at the time all these things were happening (except for the law "engraved on stone by the hand of God", but that's more about an artifact, the "tablets of the law", rather than the text of Exodus). It's entirely within the bounds of orthodoxy to believe that it was written down at some later point.
Plus, it would be perfectly fine to most Christian scholars to believe that it was originally written in a different form of the language and updated over time as the language changed; they would just hold that God directed the process to preserve His message.
You seem hell-bent on discrediting Judeo-Christian tradition, EJ. A quick online search says, "The first evidence of written Hebrew comes from the 10th century BCE, in the form of a fragment of the Hebrew Bible." Please cite your sources because I'm trying to not laugh at the picture of Moses coming down from Mt. Sinai with ten Hebrew commandments written in Egyptian.
No, I am not saying that.
I am not versed in the Phoenician alphabet's history.
When you say "if" Moses really existed... then I see where you are coming from.
So just for fun, I asked this question:
https://search.brave.com/search?q=what+language+did+moses+write+the+torah+in&source=web&summary=1&summary_og=baa8b188cbe9368fc930c0
While this answer does not dispute the existence of Moses, it describes different thoughts about the language he may have used.
''However, some scholars suggest that Moses may have written the Torah in an early form of Hebrew, as Classical Hebrew did not yet exist during his time. This is supported by the fact that the Torah as we now have it is in Classical Hebrew.
Additionally, some researchers point to proto-consonantal Hebrew (PCH) inscriptions from the Egyptian New Kingdom (1560–1069 BC) as evidence that the Israelites were able to read and write, and therefore, Moses could have written down the Torah in Hebrew.''
Since you are asking questions about Moses from the point of view of either an agnostic or atheist point of view (?), then it would take more study on my part and more time than I have to devote to properly address your entire topic in depth about the origin of languages and my level of understanding is too shallow. I bow to scholars like Dr Michael Heiser who was a Biblical Scholar (https://nakedbiblepodcast.com/) who was well versed in the original semitic languages and the history of the the Biblical period, including customs, idioms and so on. And words that are borrowed and cannibalized from one language to another, that type of thing.
Semitic language has a much older origin than 800BC.

First time I’ve completely agreed with you. :)
So yesterday at church we sang a song that was so moving, I could no longer sing along.
Then that evening, a friend sends me this link:

THE STARS AND WHALES WORSHIP GOD. (Well worth the 8+ min listen - the best part is at the end)
It was the same song.
Friends - there are no coincidences.
How great is our God?
Praying that all here know just how great. 🙏🙏🙏
Amen! The Lord Our God magnificent, REIGNS!
WOW! Magnificent. Scripture says if we don't praise the Lord, the rocks will. Thank you for sharing this Laura.
Seriously! Right?!
My pleasure, shayne
I love Pastor Louie Giglio - series on How Great is Our God !
That literally brought me to tears this morning, feeling God, feeling the beauty of it all. Thank you so much for sharing that here. I may never have found it.
Am blown away. Thank you so much.
I saw that yesterday too.... the stars vibrational "singing" was amazing.
Love that one. And “Laminin!” I posted a few weeks ago.
Oma - can you give me a link? I watched a video some time ago on Laminin and was blown away.
I believe this is the complete message.
https://youtu.be/zocnmbd07a4?si=EIbB1e98T3SzHKWw
Thank you Oma!
Omg. That was powerful. Thank you.
You’re welcome Shellie!
I was blown away when I learned about Laminin.

That's very cool. Maybe add a few trees clapping their hands? Watch this movie if you get a chance. It always leaves me with my mouth hanging open. https://tinyurl.com/yezsb4tj
Wow! Moved me to tears.
me too
We also sang that in church yesterday. Mind blown. I just sent the link to our worship pastor.
This is amazing!!! Thank you so much for sharing this. I was wowing the whole time. I'm sharing.
And it was good. 🙏❤️🙏
Thank you for sharing this. Brightened my day with renewed hope.
Wow!!!! Beautiful💜
This is an interesting video by an astrophysicist proving the existence of God using numbers. Even if you’re not a math nerd, the presentation is pretty extraordinary and beautiful. So when you have some time on your hands, it’s worth watching.

Good morning fellow C&C addicts!
Memorize this quote from the Moraes/Musk story: "After all, de Moraes can’t lock them all up for tweeting."
When tens of millions of American citizens cease paying federal income taxes, in protest of progressive policies like those on display in Springfield, we'll need a firm belief that the IRS can't lock us all up for denying the government the payment it demands via its police powers.
I had the same thought during Covid. We need to stick together as a block to stop anything they want to do to us. Do not comply! Do not give them your consent.
"Hang together or we will surely all hang separately."
Ben Franklin
I screamed that to anyone who would listen, but precious few did.
Same here 😔 I was disheartened at how many Americans caved and continued to cave even when the tide shifted. We are lazy, entitled, and too comfortable and many have forgotten that freedom comes at a price we today aren’t willing to pay. So sad.
When I got refused service at Safeway for not wearing a suffocation device, people in the store cheered. This is a situation I will never forget…on top of losing my career of 23 years for non-CONvid compliance.
God never abandoned me.
That is insane that they cheered....they wanted you to get removed from the store?
You got it! It still shocks me years later.
Human behavior and collectivist thinking doesn’t change very much, does it?😉
I hate that you were treated so awfully.
Was looking for an item of clothing and opened a drawer with my collection of face diapers inside. I kept them as a reminder of the tyranny. Seeing them made me sick to my stomach.
Yes for years I have too
It worked with masking at my local Costco and it will work on a much larger scale. They can only govern by the CONSENT of the governed.
…which all government lackeys conveniently forget the moment they ‘win’ their government position. Then it becomes ‘what’s in it for me?’

They won’t make that forum thank God!! Hallelujah that God took them all out from our beautiful Country!! We are the best place to live and we have a whole other world better than here on the other side of the ice wall. There is so much for the young ones who make it through. Byrd found it back in the 50’s. But like everything else it’s been hidden from us!
Did you see the big parade in Brazil yesterday for the President? They cleared off huge fields all around route, and the aerial shot I saw, there was almost no one in attendance. Maybe a few dozen scattered people in huge wide open fields. Governments may suppress our free speech and ability to protest, but people will find a way to express our disfavor. It probably won’t matter, but I liked it anyway. Wish I’d saved the link, I saw it on X.

I would guess the same bus company that brings people to Harris rallies was used
That’s interesting because what Charlie Kirk put on his page was the citizens as far as the eye could see, protesting against the corrupt evil dude against him and the attack on free speech and X. It was AMAZING!
https://t.me/CharlieKirk/16818
The Charlie Kirk video was of the protest of Moraes, free speech and X I believe.
I wonder what outlets will post the protest pics claiming they're actually the parade route.
Yes it was a different event
Yes I know. See above explanation. I edited to make it more clear.
Yes. That’s what I said. They were protesting the dude. I should’ve said his yucky name I guess 😂
I say interesting because he has ZERO support. All the support was against him and his tyranny.
The massive protest against Luna and for Bolsonaro was amazing. Hundreds of thousands of people. Luna is not in control of the people and they are letting him know.

Triple like! Tea party time is long overdue!!!!
Good point. But, the majority of the citizens are afraid of the government.....it should be the other way around. Tax strike! And ..don't buy anything from large ( WEF) korporations for one day ( yes, it's asking a lot but small sacrifices count)... shut off all media tools for one day.
The trick is to get everyone on the same page OFF social media so they don’t know what we’re doing. Then do it! I said this about small businesses during covid. They didn’t have the courage alone to stand up, nor would they have won. Had they got together off social media collectively they could have stood up TOGETHER. It’s a shame we don’t have a William Wallace nowadays.
But how do you stop your employer from deducting those taxes from your paycheck? Even if they deduct the minimum amount, you'll never get it back unless you "apply" for a refund from the IRS, after YOU prove to THEM that you're entitled to it. Good luck with that one. Just sayin'...
You fill out a form and tell your employer what to withhold. You can claim zero, or even a negative number, according to a former office manager I worked with, but check that out with the IRS regulations or your tax advisor.
The problem is taxes don’t matter. Only 1/3 of the many trillions of .gov is from taxes. The rest is printed out of thin air by the Fed and “borrowed” by .gov. There is nothing stopping .gov from borrowing 100% of spending - at least until the whole borrowing scheme and dollar thoroughly collapse.
Amen, Amen I say unto you!
I keep trying to make people here understand this point: tax payments to the govt have NOTHING to do with government expenditures.
They're not waiting on your employer confiscated payroll taxes to see if they can buy a new ICBM.
They print what they want.
Every employer is the tax collector. The only way to stop paying income tax is to stop working, I did that by retiring, and stop paying local sales tax by not buying anything. They are masterfully crafty and complicated.
IRS do not want nor need to lock anybody up. They can simply confiscate what they believe they are entitled to from our financial accounts, grab our wages, encumber our real estate. Only if functionaries decline to cooperate in this would they need to lock anybody up.

If I may, I'd like to edit:
When tens of millions of American citizens 𝘭𝘦𝘨𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 cease paying federal income taxes... --
Knowledge mitigates or releases one from fear, aka the truth shall set you free. --
If you haven't learned the truth about USC 26 (the Internal Revenue Code), it might be time. -? No surprise, the truth is buried in the three million plus words in the code. But! the go-to resource on the truth is now available online in its entirety for fre*e. The scholarly work is titled, 𝐶𝑟𝑎𝑐𝑘𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝐶𝑜𝑑𝑒: 𝑇ℎ𝑒 𝐹𝑎𝑠𝑐𝑖𝑛𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑇𝑟𝑢𝑡ℎ 𝐴𝑏𝑜𝑢𝑡 𝑇𝑎𝑥𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑖𝑛 𝐴𝑚𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑎 by Peter Eric Hendrickson. The original published book is 200+ pages. The author released the information just over a year ago around the 20th anniversary of the book's first printing. As said, it is now available online at no cost on the author's website: https://www.losthorizons.com The material is dense, not an easy read, but presented in easily understood language, you know, for us non lawyer, not-schooled-in-legalese types. --
At this point it should come as no surprise that you have been hoodwinked on yet another score about the federal income tax, who has a liability and who does not. Hint: the majority of Americans do not. --
BTW, also in the plethora of information on the author's website you can read about how he and his family have been persecuted by the government for decades. (You'll have to dig but it's there.) Think lawfare. I wonder why the government would do such a thing... There are those who in a quick google (*insert eye roll) search, or maybe other engines I can't say, will be served up much false information about the author and buy it without further investigation. Shame. Skip the deep dive to your detriment, I say. Some people don't pay federal income tax. Check out the Bulletin Board section of the website (linked above). Sample of an educated American posted on you tube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pB8IUKpxqJ0 --
Be not afraid - repeated in some form 365 times in a wonderful book that I'll bet you might be able to pull another quote or two off the top of your head...
Thanks Elijah.
These tax protesters have been around for decades. They argue all kinds of nonsensical theories about why you don't owe federal income taxes, and dupe a few of the slower-witted into refusing to file - to their later financial ruin.
One by one the most notorious tax protesters get prosecuted and they invariably use the same excuse "It's not my fault because I had a good faith *belief* that I didn't have to pay taxes."
Then they go to federal prison.
Don't fall for it. Seek a real tax attorney's advice. They will all tell you this is batsh*t crazy.
For your eyes only.
As stated, some will do a surface search and simply glide over the deeper investigation required for understanding. BTW, your link provides no information with regard to the author or anything contained in his extensive writings. It's a shame you're captive to the inverted matrix. Best wishes.
I read the material you referenced. Have you read the material I referenced? When you do so thoroughly, and vet it for yourself, to the nᵗʰ degree if you choose, then we will be able to settle in for an informed discussion. I wish you only the best.
Great idea, RB. It would be like throwing a war in Ukraine and nobody showing up. Tax and draft dodgers deserve more respect.
If only everyone said fuck it. Then you would be a small fry in a big lake. They can’t arrest us all.
They don't need to rely on arresting people these days when they can use monetary sticks and carrots. And the CBDCs will just escalate their ability to keep people in line.
Easy for me to say. If they took everything I own, they wouldn’t get much. Other people have much more at stake.
As lone individuals acting independently, we indeed do have a lot to lose.
As a group larger and mightier than the feds and their 87k agents, likely not.
Recall 1776 and the contents of the Boston harbor.
But it requires we all act in unison. If not in unison then too many of us would end up in prison before it teaches them the lesson. I can’t afford attorney fees to fight them so my trial would be quick and unfair.
And that’s what keeps us all in line. They weaponized the justice system against us. Solidified we will not rise up against their tyranny. They are evil and everything they do is calculated.
I think part of the problem with this taxes example is that our employers pay the taxes on our behalf…stores collect the taxes and pay them, etc. I do agree we should stand on things like nonsense restrictions or those that violate our rights like many of us did during Covid…but I was surprised how few were willing to take a step of non compliance….The Essential Church movie explains how Christians mostly handled this recent challenge incorrectly as well.
I remember watching the Trump Train escort that Biden-Harris bus when it happened and thinking that was such a great peaceful protest but they’d probably get in trouble.
Not like the patriots involved didn’t realize they’d be a target either, but their actions gave a much needed morale boost to many patriots. (And it was funny.) I hope they trounce their opponents in court.
I also saw the Biden-Harris caravan vehicles dodging in and out endangering both groups.
I would fine Ms. Davis’ bus driver and every Trump-Train Trucker who drove 45 mph in the fast lane. I like conservatives pushing back like radical liberals, but elections might be the last best place to protest.
Texas highway speed limits are generally 75 (sometimes higher). There are "frontage roads" on each side if you want to go slower, say, 60.
It appears that the citizens' welcoming level for the migrants is falling faster than Dick Cheney's hunting partner.
😂😂
I think about that incident often
Is that what happens when you disagree with a Cheney!
When Cheney says, "Duck!" he means it.
Dick would have invited more people over but the day was already shot🤣😉
Not believing that Springfield ever was very welcoming to them. I'm not, here in San Diego. And we're seeing a lot of them.
In the 1700's, Haitian slaves made a pact with the devil to acquire freedom. They've been devil's themselves since then
Cat lives matter is the new BLM. AWFLs only care about the mean cat ladies term, but not when cats get eaten by “newcomers”. Perhaps they should invite Haitian gang leader Barbecue to their homes for an anti-racist dinner…
Haitians also sacrifice chickens in their horrible voodoo (aka: demon worship/occult) practices. The people in that town need to watch any live chickens.
Absolutely. When they start finding gutted goat bodies in their parks, maybe they'll start listening.
To be honest, Haitians are the only Caribbean island people I do not trust or like.
For me, they give off a negative energy.
They don’t even want the Haitians to come to Dominican Republic, and they share the same island!
Yes I know this. I had a lovely coworker, her family from the DR, who would tell me this.
People on Twitter tried to defend Haitian cat consumption by pointing out that it was necessary for their voodo ritual. ("Oh, okay, then. Take Fluffy.")
Seriously?@? Defending voodoo? Lord have mercy.
That is beyond crazy! Where are all the animal protection people and PETA now? 🤨
Going after rich people who want to wear fur and eat meat.
Of course! 😑
Like what the Orthodox Jews do before Yom Kippur?
I don't know what they do, but chickens are sacrificed in occultic ritual to the devil, not God.
The practice is no less barbaric in one ritual than another.
'The Kaparot ritual, which traditionally takes place one day before Yom Kippur, consists of waving a live chicken above one's head while reciting specific verses from the Mahzor, a special holiday prayerbook. Kaparot literally means "atonement," and the practice is meant to transfer one's sins to the chicken.'
I went to Chabad.org to get an understanding about this & I found out that they can use money or fish instead of a chicken. The Kaparot prayer is beautiful.
This is complete religious insanity.

after reading how much the locals despise the Canadian geese, maybe consider letting them go on the geese, but find a way to make it too expensive to touch the ducks or cats...
maybe amend the sanctuary laws to exclude duck-or-cat-hunting-and-eating migrants...
I'm wondering why they don't take a page out of Martha's Vineyard's playbook and declare an emergency and put them on a military base somewhere...
It's like the guy said--someone is getting paid. Paid to let them in, paid to turn a blind eye, paid to do nothing and let kids on their way to school die.
Plus, by mixing them right into town, it gets everybody riled.
Just more of the divide-and-conquer strategy.
🙀🙀😽😽😽
T-shirt I saw at a BBQ a few years ago read: "I love cats. Unfortunately I can only eat one of them by myself."
Cats are strictly carnivores (except for whatever is in the insides of their prey), and listed as unclean food for that reason...
I know and love many lovely Haitians. A few bad apples give the whole country a bad name.
Mmm. Alternative proteins!
If the men of Ukraine aren't willing to fight for their own country (eye roll) then why should anyone else? Because of course they aren't fighting for the own country but a NATO-backed globalist neocon regime. They aren't stupid, they know this.
When the war started, people with means left Ukraine to avoid the draft. Estimates are that well over 600k military aged males fled, anyone with enough money to get out did. Those stuck to be rounded up by the corrupt regime were only those too broke or too foolish to see what was going on.
The people of Ukraine won't fight for their own country but we have countless keyboard warriors (sitting safely in the US, UK, and Israel) demanding we defend "Ukrainian Democracy". The whole thing would be laughable if it wasn't obviously a demonic sacrifice of tens of thousands of human lives.
I have a feeling that they know they are fighting for Zelenskyy and Biden. Our billions aren’t going to help the troops, but to enrich the US Grifters calling themselves honorable.
I am wondering why Alex Soros was in Ukraine a week or so ago? 🤬
me too
Picking out the thousands of acres he wants.
Maybe Springfield could deport the Haitians to Ukraine? Although they probably wouldn’t make very good fighters and their fellow soldiers would probably be worried about cannibalism.
You’re not too far off the mark. The end goal in Ukraine is to steal the land( hi Blackrock) & replace the people. I’m going out on a limb to say maybe Put8n doesn’t want that happening in his backyard?
Blackrock made a deal soon after the start of the SMO to purchase 30% of Ukraine-their best soil-as part of the "rebuild" after the SMO. Monsanto & Conagra (owned by Blackrock) were part of the deal.
The problem that arose was that Russia took that land and they ain't givin it back.
People should refuse to fight any and all of these fake CIA manufactured wars which exist only for the self-aggrandisement of the looting, murderous elite few. Rejection of Fake Wars is a rejection of Evil. And a rejection of Evil is moral.
I totally reject that Ukrainians are 'fighting' for their country. The Ukrainians are mere conscripted proxies, cannon fodder to someone else's murdering and looting. The real fight for the Ukraine is against the US/EU/NATO complex that moved in on the Ukraine and has torn up the place to shreds. And by the way, the same people who instigated the war and who are behind razing the Ukraine to the ground in the name of 'democracy' are doing the exact same thing all across the Collective West ... including the United States.
Anybody getting in bed with the United States is getting into bed with Death ... pure and simple.
Dick Cheney and his daughter make their money off proxy wars. They, US, UK NATO kiboshed a 2022 peace plan brokered by Israel and Turkey that Zelensky was about to approve. The Cheney’s are war mongers.
And I hold Dick Cheney and Baby Bush responsible for 911 and for what ensued (Surveillance State, Endless Wars, the Destruction of America, Terrorism as a political philosophy). The Cheney's are Uni-Party NeoCons pure and simple.
Sadly Sherry, I have to agree with you. It's a national tragedy.
They write desertion is a problem "Especially among newly recruited soldiers" - by recruited they mean pulled off the street and pressed into service? Or are these fresh volunteers?
My proposal to turn the recruitment numbers and this war around is simple: Just conscript everyone with a Ukraine flag in their Twitter or LinkedIn Bio. (I'm kidding of course, I think it's a human rights violation if either side does it, Russia is also forcing men into the fight).
I think this headline was planted for the purpose of garnishing support from American citizens for whatever new millions/billions of our tax dollars will be sent to Ukraine, and possibly American forces even. I think it’s the start of desensitizing us to deployments. Don’t let it succeed. Remain angry, remain opposed.
Maybe, I'm wondering if the next escalation would be hiring mercenaries. Instead of sending troops directly just pay the UA government to pay a US company to hire veterans or even active duty military who get leave to go over there and fight. All the neocon warhawks can then claim to help veterans and the military and the money even stays in the US...
"Mercenaries" as in "undocumented Chinese and Venezuelan immigrants"?
They have been there since the beginning.
Sure have, and a bunch of them got killed last week. This week we have high ranking NATO officers "dieing" in mysterious plane crashes.
And all members of churches/reataurants showing any facsimile of Ukraine flag/flag colors.
My 'solution' is to tell the NeoCon Congress, "Since you like war and democracy so much, you go and fight the war." It's always the same with these people. Fill their own pockets and send someone else to do the dying.
I can already guess their response: "We didn't declare war so technically this isn't a war so we shouldn't go, please excuse my I'll have to call my stock broker".
Ha! Ha! I really laughed ... but so, so true.
(I am so sick and tired of these creeps).
Remember when troops were assembled by leading citizens assuming the title “Colonel,” rounding up their neighbors, and leading them into battle? That’s honorable even if war is rarely.
Men have been regularly been kidnapped off Ukraine streets for 2 years now, and forced into service, untrained, and used as cannon fodder in the front lines.
You call it kidnapping, they call it recruiting. It's good to be the king.
We could solve the border manning problem by conscripting everyone who wants to militarize the border.
I have a feeling they don't make OCPs in xxxl.
It’s all about the American
Here's a photo from facebook of a Haitian invader in Springfield, OH with a goose he stole from the park.
https://x.com/captivedreamer7/status/1832093427577835624/photo/1
They're not hungry - the foodbanks and foodstamps and other bennies are flowing to them.
It's a cultural defect these people have to destroy any organized society (i.e. see how they run their own country).
Because they are heavily into the occult. I believe that is the real reason that their side of the island is a hell hole and the Dominican Republic is paradise *in comparison*.
Probably another reason they're being imported.
The DR as paradise is a stretch, Angela.
In comparison. DR people, black and white, seem like quite decent people in general, from the many I have met here in South Florida. They are the ones who tell me of the difference. Also, there are beautiful beaches and resorts in DR. I don't know of any in Haiti, do you?
Canada geese are federally and state protected. Where are the Clark Co wildlife officers?
Why do we protect all the invaders? Canadian geese are mean, nasty, dirty, vile, obnoxious creatures that need to be rounded up and shipped back to Communist Canada. 😳
Yes, indeed! I remember in my childhood when these migratory waterfall would pass high overhead in fall and spring it was a big event. I would accompany my dad on hunts for geese and ducks; the birds knew they were in danger and would be very cautious about where they landed and didn't stay for long. It is a travesty that a species once venerated has been essentially destroyed by government decree and the same stupid mentality (cat ladylike) of "oh, look at the pretty geese, let's give our little idiot spawn white bread to feed them", to train the animals to be as stupid as they are. My wife had some immigrant chinese co-workers (these were scientists) who would see all the geese around and wonder why nobody was eating them. In any case migration is learned behavior for these animals, it only takes one generation to end it. I remember seeing a documentary about a group that would take geese under their wings so to speak and get them to migrate by training them to fly along with them in ultralight airplanes. The question has to be asked, who is more sensible, the people who see a problem and solve the problem and feed themselves at the same time or the people who just sit by and watch it fester, waiting for government to allow them to do something? Things are not always black and white. Haiti was formed by the slaves revolting and throwing the slave masters out, this earned them the eternal enmity of USA-even after slavery ended here. The people of Haiti have paid for this ever since then as the US installed one dictator after another and would not let the people alone to develop. The "chickens coming home to roost" is immigrants from countries oppressed by our enemies (WEF type globalists in US and elsewhere) coming here to escape the conditions in their home country. It is self evident that most people will want to stay in the place where they feel a sense of community and commonality of customs and language. There is a reason why they are here, and yes part of it is to serve the interests of the globo commie class but it would not work if they were able to stay home and live decent lives.
Richard, I am a catlady who loves her animals tremendously but I won’t take your catlady dig personally. I think the overarching point here is that life is waaayy out of balance.… with the stupid geese that now overrun us, and with the lamentable (Haitian) immigrant situation — both of which our country has largely encouraged and brought upon ourselves. It’s funny to compare two seemingly disparate issues, but both the geese and the (Haitian) immigrants have been brought upon us by misplaced compassion and terrible policy.
You are right the Haitian condition is a very long story and very sad indeed. They are the poorest country in the western hemisphere. I’ve spent time in D.R. next door, and the differences are stark. My heart goes out to the Haitian people because our country with all its intervention has made their situation infinitely worse. Still, feeling sorry and allowing them to invade our country is NOT the way to fix it.
Agree!!!! I DESPISE them!!!! They are invasive and reproduce uncontrollably and should NOT be a protected species!!! 😡
And the sheriff??? Where is the sheriff?
“Someone Shot the Sheriff, But They Did Not Shoot The Deputy”... (Bob Marley and The Wailers) 🎯🎯🎯
Lol, It is actually 'I', not 'someone'.
In NY we don't have sheriffs, so when hubby and I moved down, being teens of the 70s, we remembered that song when we saw our first Sheriff car.
My husband started singing it in a playful manner.
I told him to *never* sing that out loud again.
Yes, we are in our car with windows shut, but in these crazy times we live in, who knows what could happen if overheard!
Oh, to go back to simpler times in the good old USA...sigh.
Lol, “I” knew THAT and, as you don’t know ME, I rarely if ever make a mistake when posting anything as 👁 like throwing off algorithms as much as possible and using code. Tout bien?
Smart!
Wait no sheriffs in NY? I grew up in NY state and we certainly had them in my county and the neighboring counties at the very least. Or did you mean NYC? I can’t speak to the city as I never lived there.
NYC and Westchester county.
It could be part of their satanic voodoo rituals too. Probably why bidumdum let them come over here. To inflict satanic pain on the population. So sick.
Speaking of Cheney: There's a book written by Cathy O'Brien, a woman who was a CIA-controlled MK Ultra victim. She was prostituted to several politicians, including him, according to the book. I don't recommend the book because it is just hard to read, and our government is much worse than you know. I couldn't finish it. (And she had to live it, not just read about it.) But if you want it, it's online.
I read her book over ten years ago. It was a painful awakening to the evil, evil elite who rule in many places in the world. I found it hard to get through, and for a while, I would shake my head and think, no, that can’t be true…sadly I came to see it as it was less hidden by the proud elites.
On another note, last year I came across an interview with Cathy O’Brian who has emerged from her former life healed and blessed through her forgiveness and understanding of the evil treatment (words fail me here) inflicted on her.
Our Father is merciful and good. Always.
wow, just wow
Satanic
Frankly saying that they are killing the local geese makes me happy to have them here! The liberals don't want you to kill anything so the goose population and the amount of slimy excrement and time wasted waiting on long lines of road crossings in the shopping areas of this city are unbearable. Goose season would be a brilliant way to feed the hungry but there are laws and they make us feel good about our love for life...of our ancestors or something... But not children.
They're going after people's pets too.
Please stop descenting pet skunks then.
And children! Do they have any children or just pets?
It has helped America in NO way to flood it with people from Haiti.
After the blacks killed every last white person after the slave rebellion, Haiti has been mired in total shit-hole status. They've done nothing to better themselves.
Next door Dominican Republic shares the same island and is many times more prosperous. They also won't let the Haitians in because of trouble.
Yes, good points.
I have a solution to the Haitian problem. Bus them to Bill and Hillary's NY town. The Clintons love "helping" Haitians. [More like helping themselves to Haitian "relief" money, and young children who "disappear".] Problem solved. Or, they could bus them to apartment buildings around Denver that the Venezuelan gangs like taking over. Who would win, the cannibals or the gangsters? And who would Kacklin and Tampon Tim back?
They literally sit in their cushy well-funded seats laughing at all of us, “they’ll do nothing. Watch, we can drop 20,000 Haitians on their town and all they will do is complain. They are impotent and serve us.” Why do we as a nation, a community, remain docile to how we are treated???
I vote busing them to Boulder. My hesitation is the loss of Boulder natives lives. I’m conflicted.
How would they do against the Muslims in Michigan? Are cats Halal?
Hmmm, interesting. Are you Muslim?
I wonder what the betting odds between the Springfield Haitians and the drugged out homeless of San Francisco or Oakland would be? Let’s get ready to rumble!
Springfield Haitians vs Aurora Venezuelans, now there's some odds.....
Great plan. You could even call it "The Final Solution." Think how many cat lives will be saved, and they have nine.
Amy from the Supreme Court has one of those Haitians kids.
Wonder if she got them from the Clintons.
Love it. This is perfect. They could invite Laura Silsby to sit on the board and oversee it all, although she might have trouble keeping her hands off the kids.
Good morning C&C. Today is the day the Lord has made let us rejoice and be glad! Have a blessed day!
Spread the infectious Good News that Jesus has victoriously overcome the evil of the arrogant human being, that's us. The harvest is ripe!
Amen.
❤️
Since the 1960’s, Springfield’s population slowly drained from 80,000 down to 60,000." So, if I have this right, the gov. brought in these illegals to fill the job openings the locals wouldn't fill. If there were job unfilled openings, why did 20,000 locals leave for jobs elsewhere? Can they name one illegal, who is filling one of those jobs? Two would be exciting!
Voting for Kacala is their job
The government (democrats) register the illegals to vote right after they are handed drivers licenses. It is illegal for them to vote, so most won't try it, but now the democrats have lists of voter names to use for fraudulent voting for Kamala and friends. This is what's really going on...
They can’t. And the media will cover for this. Ask no questions you already know the answer to - AND DON’T LIKE. 🤫
What ever happened to the good ole Wild West. The citizens of Springfield should show up in huge amounts locked and loaded and tell those invaders to leave. If you think this is going to stop when Trump is elected, think again. There are so many invaders it's going to take the people to step up and help any way they can. When I read they were eating ducks and cats, I almost died, when is enough enough, you simply must stand up for yourselves, I didn't put up with any of the "covid" nonsense or the jabs and Im only one person but I gave other people the strength they needed to disobey too. Im praying for your little town, that it becomes yours again, and keep your pets indoors. This was all said in love not anger.
COURAGE IS CONTAGIOUS!!!! When will the people wake up?
I showed the same courage as you and managed to spread that courage to a bunch of others in the process.
Most people live in denial until it directly affects their lives.
Ducks and cats are the most insignificant of the problems there. It started with the liberal mindset anchored there and it's being played out according to their own teachings. I'm sick of the sappy sobbing over geese, cats, dogs, salamanders, frogs, etc etc!!
Maybe we could get those childless cat ladies involved.
But if that gets the people to act, so be it.
Agreed, Hannahlehigh!
Agreed!
Re those delightful Haitian migrants: https://www.zerohedge.com/political/cant-take-it-anymore-residents-springfield-ohio-beg-help-after-20000-haitians-overwhelm
Don't miss the comment of the Springfield city council member at the e4nd of that article: Instead of demanding an end to DC-directed forced Haitian arrivals, that maroon asks for more federal funds to keep them in town. Care much about the rights of the people who pay your salary, you jackwagon?
Always trust that a Democrat will double-down on their mistakes when called out on them.
I am liking and commenting on this post only for the Use of "JackWagon" LoL
Well apparently the Feds pay better.
There used to be an old time ritual called “Tar and feather and ran out of town on a rail.” See what we have lost as we have slid to the left.
We should ask around and get them a lawyer. Maybe they could file a civil rights suit against the federal government for depriving them of their property without due process, or something along those lines. When they cannot use and enjoy their home because migrants are camping on the front lawn, they have had a valuable right taken from them. They can't access medical services or even find food in the grocery store. That little town can't accommodate the invasion. They are probably wishing they'd gotten a horde of zombies instead.
I don't know what's wrong with Americans.
I can damn well guarantee no immigrants will be camping out on my lawn.
Thank the Founders for the Second Amendment!
Per the Epoch Times, September 9, article by Sina McCullough, the Endocrine Society has issued new guidelines against Vitamin D screening and routine supplementation. I’m no medical expert but, this makes zero sense unless there’s another agenda.
Don’t forget, Dr Oz magically was no longer the favored doc on the Today show after he suggested that people take Vit D to boost their immune system. Not sure, but I think he announced his bid to run for gov after that.
The is not really what they said. They recommend against blanket screening of health/no risk factor people, and recommend more supplementation for certain groups especially.
Most everything I am finding on it is from June. One article from Aug. Have not found the Epoch Times article yet
But I have upped my does from 2000 iu daily to 20,000 iu. My D level has gone from scraping the bottom of the barrel to right about in the Middle of the RDA level

JPeach-Could you post that article please. Thank you
An archaic law? Can't a jury simply nullify it? Or are juries even made aware of their power of "jury nullification"? If the FBI refused to prosecute, then there must not be a shred of a case.
Americans are unaware of their power as a jury. They are the ultimate judge and they don't have to abide by the judge's directions and can override any law. The jury system is our ultimate defense against tyranny and they want to keep us ignorant.
Exactly.
I waited 30 years to finally be selected for jury duty on Columbia, MO. I was called many times but not selected.
When I finally was it was a ridiculous case. We were told that we had to come back with guilty or not guilty decision. Nothing in between.
I don’t understand that. We were strong armed into making a choice. Then when we did we found out a mistrial had been declared. Oh well.
It seems like just like they have soiled the judicial system and judges to work in their favor, they have also soiled the jury system too. I’ve been called only once and was dismissed almost immediately when they asked me about my faith and if it interfered with my decision making. Well of course it does! And what’s wrong with that anyway? My faith is rooted in true justice. After that, I never had to go because I was a SAHM and couldn’t leave my kids for days on end. Since turning 50 nine years ago I have been at an age with more wisdom, less emotion, empty nest and able to do my duty, but I haven’t been called once.
Jury duty is a lottery, usually based on drivers licenses. Some people get called up fairly regularly & for some it is years in between.
When the jury pool is called in, there are ways to get off through voir dire if you don’t want to serve (connections to the legal field in general, connections to the healthcare field in a medical malpractice case, or being pro-police, etc).
Juries are getting more & more corrupt, at least here in New Mexico. Multi-multi millions of dollar verdicts. Many of the jurors probably hoping they’ll get a shot at such a case someday themselves.
And yes, 40 year survivor in the legal field.
Just tell them that you believe in the death penalty for everything...even traffic cases.
That will get you off quickly.
Yep, or that you’re a Trump supporter
Wear a Trump 2024 shirt to jury selection.
Or Infowars shirt.
In my county, I believe they use the voter registration rolls for a jury pool. I heard of one man here who was summoned to serve as a juror on his own criminal trial. He was dismissed.
"He's been charged, so he must be guilty. But it's the government's fault." That should work.
I always thought the jury pool was derived from voter registrations not motor vehicle licenses. Although now in many states, the two go hand in hand.
I think it’s both
About 20 years ago, my friend was called for federal jury duty. Her husband, a Libertarian, gave her a FIJA pamphlet to read on the train ride to the city. During the selection process the judge "explained" the duties of the jury, then asked if anyone had questions before they began. My friend raised her hand and asked, "Could you please explain jury nullification? This brochure I have says that juries have the power to nullify a law. What does that process look like and do we need to do that for every count against the defendant?" She said the judge turned bright red, his eyes bugged out and he stood up and pointed at the door and yelled at the top of his lungs, GET OUT! He then had to dismiss the entire room and they started over with jury selection.
🤔 Interestingly, she has never again received a jury summons. And I bet that was the last time that judge asked if anyone had questions.
Note to self, don’t mention jury nullification if one wants to serve on a jury…
But know it and use it judiciously…
With this tale, the day is redeemed.
Some time ago (10 yrs or more?) I read a story about jury nullification from "the old days".
A man was on trial for stealing a horse. He was, apparently, well liked in the community. The jury asked the judge: "If he returns the horse, can we find him not guilty?" The judge replied "No". The jury then came back with a not guilty verdict.
I don't know if it's a true story.
We all need better education on the power of the jury! I only heard about jury nullification recently, via this website which has lots of good jury info.
https://fija.org/welcome.html
Great info there! I've always wanted to serve on a jury. The one time I finally made it down to the jury box, I was floored to find that I knew the prosecuting attorney. Then I looked at the defense attorney...she looked and sounded just like the obnoxious little person lawyer from Ally McBeal. She was belligerent from the minute she opened her mouth, and I thought she did her client no favors. Needless to say, I did not serve on that jury.
