Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astounded and stood up in haste; he said to his high officials, “Was it not three men we cast bound into the midst of the fire?” They replied to the king, “Certainly, O king.” He said, “Look! I see four men loosed and walking about in the midst of the fire without harm, and the appearance of the fourth is like a son of the gods!” Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the door of the furnace of blazing fire; he responded and said, “Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego, come out, you servants of the Most High God, and come here!” Then Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego came out of the midst of the fire. The satraps, the prefects, the governors and the king’s high officials gathered around and saw in regard to these men that the fire had no effect on the bodies of these men nor was the hair of their head singed, nor were their trousers damaged, nor had the smell of fire even come upon them.
Albert Pike had promised his Masonic allies in Europe that they would have three world wars to consolidate the world power of the Canaanites. We have now seen two of those world wars, and, as promised, the first world war was to set up a Communist regime, the second world war was to raise it to the status of a world power, and the third world war is planned to destroy both Communism and Christianity in a great orgy of annihilation. This coming war is intended to be the final death knell of the people of Shem; after its conclusion the Canaanites will reign unchallenged throughout the world."
Humans are not generally capable of multiple generational grand scale global conspiracy. But go ahead, believe what you want.
The truth however is much more universal, humans fall and lose their soul connection, and seek power over others. Fundamental morality attuned to spiritual connection to the Divine is the only real solution, and operates most effectively within a limited government power framework of individual liberty educated to God given rights.
David, I agree with your overall statement, but would like to add some different perspectives:
1. There’s evidence to show that humans are capable of global conspiracies. Rockefeller, Ford, Carnegie and others created our modern world. This was confirmed by Generals and Congress. There’s also the conspiracy of modern medicine which can be traced to one family. These are examples of how humans can lead global conspiracies and here are some pieces on them:
Lastly: “and operates most effectively within a limited government power framework of individual liberty attu education to Hod given rights.” — this is the definition and ideal state of true liberty and autonomy for humanity. We can agree that governments and ruling classes will not give this up willingly, ultimately going back to point number 1 of a global conspiracy of human enslavement with a whole slew of characters over time.
I am astounded by how well the Rockefeller medical system has hoodwinked the entire medical field with the safety and effectiveness lie as shills for crap Pharma anything and how horrible and useless anything ‘homeopathic’ is.
Thank you Frank, and sorry for the typos. yes, many have wanted to "Rule the world" so to speak. However I was referring to "multiple generational grand scale global conspiracy" which Bard is prone to see behind every issue. I will look at your link.
Actually the second coming of Christ is the rising and embodiment of the Christ Consciousness in each of us. We'll see real change as this occurs with the blessings from Jesus... "Oh, they finally got my message! Hallelu Yah!"
In your list of suggestions about what to do about the rampant Somali fraud, you missed the easiest, most simple one. Unless the laws have been changed since the '60's, naturalized citizenship does NOT have the same rights as people who are born in the US. You can have your citizenship revoked and be deported for committing crimes. I do not recall there being any specificity about the nature of the crimes, AKA it is discretionary to the government. You might want to check and see if this is still in effect. That would make deportations easy peasy for any number of crimes.
Right on. Deportation of people given temporary refugee sanctuary is the only solution. The Somali community is incapable of assimilating and the word “temporary “ must be honored. Trying to accommodate Third-World mentality into our society can only tear at the fabric of our trust-based system.
I want my money back from them first. take whatever they have that is valuable (that is unlikely they have anything) then 5 years of backbreaking labor working for free 15 hours per day. then send them back.
Seems simple to me. Fed transferred money to state and paid it a percentage to administer the distribution. Just recover all the money sent to MN for this program and let MN decide what and how to proceed. The governor and department heads (and any others that were accountable) should be charged and prosecuted for any and all federal infractions.
The fraud is going on in every state with Somali communities. There have been similar exposes in Ohio and Washington state.
There's going to be a lot of fraud in all the blue states, and a fair amount in the red states as well. It just depends on how closely the states are checking.
first they perform really hard labor for the US 15 hours a day 7 days a week since they have no worthy assets to take. then after they have served hard labor for 5 years, get them outta here.
I believe much of weak men and hard times begin at home with fathers. I had shared this with TriTorch.
Sometimes it’s difficult to talk about fathers. I know so many people that had grown up without a father, or a father that was always at work, a father that was abusive, or a father that abused substances. Everyday I see the results of what a father did to his own daughter, I’ll leave it at that.
I wanted to begin with my father. I’ve always praised my father, he was a great man. I consider myself the luckiest kid in the neighborhood where I grew up, even though he died when I was just 20. He was a WW2 veteran that worked until he retired despite the fact he was 100% disabled from being shot through his back in The Battle of the Bulge. He didn’t drink and was there for us kids, but my father grew up in the depression. In Boston at that time there were no jobs so his father left when he was a small child to mine coal in Virginia. From what I understand my father was angry that he had left and wasn’t around for his mother or his siblings. You can imagine when my father’s younger brother got sick and died at 7 years old, and believed it was from malnutrition , the resentment my father must have carried with him. Many cycles that could have been passed down to us kids were certainly ended when my father married my mother and the 4 of us kids were born, but somethings remained.
Many guys are not very affectionate. Showing affection, they think, is not manly or maybe they weren’t shown affection themselves so now they have a hard time with it. Showing affection to your kids may not be easy for some but it’s certainly manly to do this that isn’t easy. This was one deficiency my father had, though he and my mother certainly provided for us kids and always made sure we were taken care of, he wasn’t one to show much affection.
Parents have the ability to impact their children like no one else can. Without the father’s approval and validation a child will feel a void. Every person needs the blessing from their father. Many adults struggle year after year with low self esteem, working all the time, trying to prove that they’re good enough, all because of their father’s lack of affirmation. Fathers have something to give their children, something that no one else can give. Others can tell them how great they are or how special they are but when a father tells them it holds a much greater weight.
As the father you have the God given authority to bless your child. Every time a father says I’m proud of you, I love you, your beautiful, God releases strength into that child. Value, confidence, security, those are more than just nice words, it’s what the Bible calls A Fathers Blessing. You are helping your child to achieve their destiny. It’s easier to think you don’t need to do this but it’s something that needs to be done. Don’t withhold your love, your affection or your approval.
I believe this one negative cycle passed from my father’s father through my father to me. Don’t let that happen with your kids. Always remember a blessing isn’t a blessing until it’s spoken.
Life is short. It doesn’t matter how old your kids are. A phone call saying, son have I told you how proud I am of you. It doesn’t matter their age, a child will always long for a father’s approval, it’s never too late.
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve wished my father was around to see some of my accomplishments. As a carpenter I’ve fixed up our families houses, I rebuilt our lake house, though we struggle at times I can’t tell you how many times I wished he was around to see it and say good job son, I’m proud of you.
Know fathers, if a young lady doesn’t get the approval from her father many times she will try to get that approval from other men. She will go from relationship to relationship not valuing who she is because she has not been valued by the most important man in her life. You are teaching your daughter how other men should treat her. You’re setting the tone for how she thinks other men should treat her. You should set the bar high. Make her standard high for the man she will one day choose.
As we have learned our government tried its best to inject our bodies with harmful chemicals, they spray our food with poison, poison our atmosphere and divide us against one another, I think the most basic knowledge should be learning how much parents impact their children’s life. Knowledge is power and we should be aware that our childhood and the decisions our parents made have a lot to do with the rails that have been set that guide our lives. J.Goodrich
Very wise words. And over the years our government has done its dead-level best to dissolve the family structure! God gave us the family and it is to be a blessing and guide for our total civilization!
I have 4 adult children, all of whom made it home from the four corners of the globe this year for Christmas. Deo gratias.
Each of them (three men and a daughter) are acknowledged leaders. I could not be more proud of them, and I told each of them so.
Yesterday, I was standing in my front yard when a neighbor struck up a convo about my son’s Corvette in the driveway (he left it there temporarily while going on a cruise.)
Her son is a US Marine officer, and my youngest is a Senior NCO just back from the Far East where he led a USMC Augmented Force protecting the President in Tokyo.
I remarked “I honestly admire and look up to each one of my children.”
I watch my dil chase after her Dad’s love. He was abusive to her Mom and an absentee from dil’s life as he was/is(?) a drinker and druggie.
I have similarly watched a precious nephew chase his Dad, who basically abandoned my sister and his 3 kids…..for another woman. He does not love or care about his children, never did. He doesn’t even know what his grandchildren look like.
Why in the world are taxpayers relying on Nick Shirley ( God bless him) for oversight of billions of our money. We have 37 Trillion reasons why everyone in congress should be prosecuted. We know some of these funds made their way to campaigns on both sides. Disgusting.
I took the liberty of listing everyone that has been royally screwed over by illegal immigrant invaders over the last 20 years:
1. Americans.
Warm & fuzzy bonus content: "Anybody order a Trojan Horse?!"
Quran 9:5 - So when the sacred months have passed away, then slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them captive and besiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush, then if they repent and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate, leave their way free to them."
Quran 5:33 - The recompense of those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and do mischief in the land is only that they shall be killed or crucified or their hands and their feet be cut off on the opposite sides, or be exiled from the land. That is their disgrace in this world, and a great torment is theirs in the Hereafter.
Quran 3:151 - We shall cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve, because they joined others in worship with Allah, for which He had sent no authority; their abode will be the Fire and how evil is the abode of the Zalimun (polytheists and wrong-doers)......and we're off.....🎶 New York, New York🎵
Looks like the NATO drug trust does not like competition.
"Thus the Drug Trust, while maintaining the Stalinist Communist Government in Russia, simultaneously maintained a Communist back up regime in the United States, the Trotskyite Movement, in case the Stalinist regime should fall."
His previous chosen coup leader, Juan Guiado, has cartel connections. Rubio is also buddies with Noboa (ecuadorian president) whose family are know narco traffikers. The US gov has a very long history of supporting the narco trade. Business as usual. Machado is a puppet who will be the new leader in venzuela, and her cartels will simply reign. Nothing will change, except who is peddling the majority of the drugs. Even if they totally shut down the drug trade out of venezuela (which isn't a very big drop in the bucket ) - the vacuum will quickly be filled and it will be business as usual.
GM. Agree. To add insult to an already insulting ceremony, the Governor of NYS Hochul ordered that One World Trade Center be lit Green in honor of Muslim American MONTH. What a kick in the teeth, how many lives lost, families and businesses destroyed by the single most deadly attack in NYC carried out by Muslim terrorists.
When he first entered the race, I said he would "win". His "win" was preordained. The s_Election was in and they did what was necessary to install him in power. Note how the press puts him, a mayor, at the same level as POTUS.
Wow, you folks are hardcore! I checked several times and when there was no post (I had missed his comment), I assumed he'd simply taken the day off, to which he's entitled, by golly!
I can’t imagine anything good coming from being sworn in on a Quran. You’re kind of denying the first amendment (freedom of religion, speech) by that act.
Rugged Individualism vs. Warm Collectivism. Right here, US, just a few years ago. Many cheered the 'warmth' of the collectivists. Many more tolerated and obeyed it without a peep.
People should swear on whatever item they have faith in. What good would it do for a Muslim to be sworn in on the Bible?
(Personally, I think the custom of swearing on some holy book is an unnecessary requirement. Swear on your own honor, or whatever. I mean, would an atheist use a phone book?)
Agree with your sentiment, and overall our word should mean something without a book placed below our hand… my point was that Islam is not compatible with our constitution, as Jeff S stated above
Since most officials no longer respect or adhere to the oath, it seems moot whether they are sworn in on a bible or a "Franklin the Turtle" story book.
You would feel better if he used a Bible even tho he doesn't believe it? Of course most elected politicians use the Bible & they don't believe it; that' must be why they are all such great elected politicians. At least he's being more honest by using a Koran.
My question is, what does he think the Koran tells him to do?
Didn’t SCOTUS just rule that the President could not use the National Guard to protect law enforcement when making arrests and that he should use the US military instead?
Some people might rather have the local folks in the National Guard help out and not the 101st Airborne. I just care that Federal LEOs are protected, if local police departments won’t assist for whatever reason…
Three writers, Frank, Ben, and Carl, who were attending a author’s convention, booked a three bedroom suite on the 75th floor of a hotel.
Upon arriving back at their inn from the convention, a mortified receptionist told them, “I’m terribly sorry, but all the elevators are out of order. Until fixed, you will have to hike the stairs.”
Now, Frank was a teller of funny stories, Ben was a conjurer of spooky stories, and Carl was a crafter of sad stories. The three of them concluded that, to make the trek to the top more tolerable, Frank would tell the other two his most hilarious stories while they climbed from floors 1 to 25, Ben would intone his scariest stories from floors 26 to 50, and Carl would regale them with his saddest stories from floors 51 to 75.
They began the arduous climb to the tippity top story, and Frank banged out the zaniest yarns he had ever put to paper. By the time they reached the 25th floor, Ben and Carl were howling hysterically.
Then Ben started to intone his spooky stories. By the time they hit the 50th floor milestone, Frank and Carl were wide-eyed and hugging each other in fear.
Then the spotlight was turned on poor Carl, and just as he started to narrate his most sorrowful sagas, he shrugged his shoulders, looked down in sadness, dug his hands around in his pockets for effect, and it then struck him that he had just had the inspiration for his most mournful tale yet:
“I’ll tell my saddest story of all right off the bat,” he says looking up: “There once was a man named Carl who left the hotel room key in the car...”
....
A grumpy drill sergeant was addressing a squad of twenty-five exhausted men and said:
“I have a nice cushy job for the laziest man here. Raise your hand if you are the laziest.”
24 tired blokes quickly raised their hands, and the sergeant asked the other man “why didn’t you raise your hand?”
The man replied: “Too much trouble raising the hand, Sarge.”
“Mom, don’t get alarmed, but I’m at the hospital.”
....
“Son, please. You’ve been a surgeon there for 8 years now. Can we start our phone calls differently?”
....
Little Kate (on phone): My daughter is having high fever and sadly she won’t be able to come to school today!
That story of the hotel with the broken elevator reminded me of the time I stayed on the 3rd story of a place with broken elevator. I extended the stay one day, and found out when I got back to the room that the key card didn't work. I used my cell phone to call the front desk and made the guy at the front desk bring up a new key card. I really should have tipped him, but didn't think about it until I checked out, and he wasn't on duty then. They cut my room rate in half for the stay.
It wouldn't have been too bad if I still had good knees and a heart rate that didn't spike to 140 or so when climbing stairs.
That’s exactly what I was thinking when reading today’s article. The ol’ bait and switch to further their true communist desires. When you want people to hand over their freedoms and independence, you first have to make them believe you are their savior. Use capitalism to improve their lives, give the credit to socialism, then take everything from them with a smile on their faces.
I can just see all the corruption that will take place under him just like in minnesota. just wait. this muslim is not with us nor for us. he is a truly bad seed.
Election fraud. Dominion and SmartMatic operated from Venezuela and Maduro openly admitted that he was controlling elections in several countries and controlled the election in the US in 2020.. and all over the US in state and even some large city elections in the US.
None of the charges he was facing in NYC are related to election fraud. There's allegedly plenty of that here in the USA and Trump still hasn't made any arrests.
I'm not Ukrainian-first of all. Johnny boy and I have argued quite a bit on here and he's even slung the "Hurr durr deep state CAI Fed asset" insult.
Trump is an idiot but when it comes to Venezuela and maduro he's right. There's a sanctioned vessel that was heading to VZ which the USN tried to board but the ship fled and suddenly changed flags and registered to Russia. The Russians told Trump to back off it and now there's a bunch of c17s heading to the UK as the ship steams back to Europe to evade sanctions. I think Trump is starting to show some backbone.
I've already been to Ukraine once before under Trump and performed assistance ops and even got a medal and a gift (piece of a KA52 they shot down and some armor from a destroyed russian tank) from them for my work
done.
Also, trying to encourage American soldiers to abandon their posts and go UA/Awol is called sedition which the "sedition six" did. You sure you want to go down that road?
Just got promoted and ironically Hegseth is on my promotion warrant. Absolute irony!
There's a huge amount of oil, supposedly the largest find in the Western Hemisphere, off the coast of Guyana, right next door to Venezuela. Maduro was apparently planning to annex much of Guyana and claim that reserve. So there's that......
I know for a fact [no feelings required] there are people here that don't know their ass from a hole in the ground. Looking at you Johnny Zero. Trump and Thiel living rent free in that noggin of yours. Good luck buddy. You are in for a miserable 2026. TAW
Whats retarded is voting for the same thing over and over and expecting different results. I'm so glad hillary, gates, fauci, etc are rotting in prison!
I hate what America has become. Trump is no savior - he's literally a continuation of the norm with some tinkering around the edges. Look in the mirror if you want to be saved.
As I savor my wonderful light roast Americano, I ponder deep things such as "if the average Somalian has an IQ of 67, why didn't smarter people cook up this scheme sooner?" After another satisfying sip from my thermal mug, I began to wonder if smarter people *did* cook up this scheme, with the Somalians being generously rewarded assets of a much grander operation conducted by those who cried like stuck pigs when DJT targeted USAID. After yet another satisfying splash of Americano, my thoughts turned to the suitcases of cash couriered out of the country by brilliant Somali rocket scientists, only to be laundered through ActBlue into competitive races in the US. Oh well, I just finished the last sip, and it's time to dream of the day when justice and accountability come crashing down on the "differently moraled" among us.

Until Jesus comes back!!!
Actually the second coming of Christ is the rising and embodiment of the Christ Consciousness in each of us. We'll see real change as this occurs with the blessings from Jesus... "Oh, they finally got my message! Hallelu Yah!"
He said HE would actually RETURN. It’s not some ‘esoteric, ethereal, embodiment’ coming.
Correct
That which is Christ the Creator, is very real.
He underwent a torturous death to pay for our sins, then was physically resurrected.
When he said he would return, he meant in the flesh.
Not an infomercial.
I don’t know where this idea comes from. It’s certainly not Biblical. Buddhist, maybe?

Yes to pay us back for what they have stolen. I am in favor of that.
This works.

I doubt we'll see this before the mid terms though.
A follow up on weak men.
Hard times create strong men.

Very wise words. And over the years our government has done its dead-level best to dissolve the family structure! God gave us the family and it is to be a blessing and guide for our total civilization!
LBJ and the democRATS did that.
If I could like this more than once, I would. 💯
Thank You Girl on the move!!😊
Well said.
I have 4 adult children, all of whom made it home from the four corners of the globe this year for Christmas. Deo gratias.
Each of them (three men and a daughter) are acknowledged leaders. I could not be more proud of them, and I told each of them so.
Yesterday, I was standing in my front yard when a neighbor struck up a convo about my son’s Corvette in the driveway (he left it there temporarily while going on a cruise.)
Her son is a US Marine officer, and my youngest is a Senior NCO just back from the Far East where he led a USMC Augmented Force protecting the President in Tokyo.
I remarked “I honestly admire and look up to each one of my children.”
And they know it because I tell them so.
Not to worry James, I know of a Father that will say to you when you approach, "Good job son, I'm proud of you." And that will mean everything.
Thank You Laureen very much, that would be amazing. I’m a definite work in progress!
You are absolutely correct… the validation from your father is the best gift you will ever receive ❣️
I watch my dil chase after her Dad’s love. He was abusive to her Mom and an absentee from dil’s life as he was/is(?) a drinker and druggie.
I have similarly watched a precious nephew chase his Dad, who basically abandoned my sister and his 3 kids…..for another woman. He does not love or care about his children, never did. He doesn’t even know what his grandchildren look like.
Such a sad state of affairs.
Yes, sad. No human can fill the God-shaped hole in a searching heart. 🙏🏻
I didn't like this because of the abuse, I liked it for moral support and you're doing the right thing.
Bad parents raise bad kids who morph into bad citizens.
Well said!! 👏👏👏
Wonderful post - I will share it with many! Thanks
Damn it, Jim!!.. I'm a crab fisherman, not a narco dictator!
LOL! Love it, Eric!!
🤣
🤣👍
Why in the world are taxpayers relying on Nick Shirley ( God bless him) for oversight of billions of our money. We have 37 Trillion reasons why everyone in congress should be prosecuted. We know some of these funds made their way to campaigns on both sides. Disgusting.
Because he has the balls to expose it. Who in congress do you know that has any balls?
Laureen, whenever ladies call out mens testies I have renewed hope in this country / world! Thank you!
Yea, how much did Walz or his cronies get to look the other way?
A question worth asking, for sure!

BIG news this morning:
https://www.malone.news/p/dmed-and-cdc-covid-data-scandals
Great find. Documents what we all knew to be true
I took the liberty of listing everyone that has been royally screwed over by illegal immigrant invaders over the last 20 years:
1. Americans.
Warm & fuzzy bonus content: "Anybody order a Trojan Horse?!"
Quran 9:5 - So when the sacred months have passed away, then slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them captive and besiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush, then if they repent and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate, leave their way free to them."
Quran 5:33 - The recompense of those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and do mischief in the land is only that they shall be killed or crucified or their hands and their feet be cut off on the opposite sides, or be exiled from the land. That is their disgrace in this world, and a great torment is theirs in the Hereafter.
Quran 3:151 - We shall cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve, because they joined others in worship with Allah, for which He had sent no authority; their abode will be the Fire and how evil is the abode of the Zalimun (polytheists and wrong-doers)......and we're off.....🎶 New York, New York🎵
Looks like the NATO drug trust does not like competition.
"Thus the Drug Trust, while maintaining the Stalinist Communist Government in Russia, simultaneously maintained a Communist back up regime in the United States, the Trotskyite Movement, in case the Stalinist regime should fall."

Narco Rubio wants his drug running buddies to have the whole country to themselves.
Things slow at Langley?
THAT’s what you got from this event?!?!?!
He/she/they/them is/are so very stupid. Probably a bot coming out of China. (Don’t they call all Americans ‘Johnny’?)
His previous chosen coup leader, Juan Guiado, has cartel connections. Rubio is also buddies with Noboa (ecuadorian president) whose family are know narco traffikers. The US gov has a very long history of supporting the narco trade. Business as usual. Machado is a puppet who will be the new leader in venzuela, and her cartels will simply reign. Nothing will change, except who is peddling the majority of the drugs. Even if they totally shut down the drug trade out of venezuela (which isn't a very big drop in the bucket ) - the vacuum will quickly be filled and it will be business as usual.
Wow, what uplifting verses......good luck NY.
Good morning!!! We missed you yesterday.
GM. Agree. To add insult to an already insulting ceremony, the Governor of NYS Hochul ordered that One World Trade Center be lit Green in honor of Muslim American MONTH. What a kick in the teeth, how many lives lost, families and businesses destroyed by the single most deadly attack in NYC carried out by Muslim terrorists.
I hope he runs NYC to ruin. NYC has a terminal illness that it created itself. let mammadammadingdong finish it off.
When he first entered the race, I said he would "win". His "win" was preordained. The s_Election was in and they did what was necessary to install him in power. Note how the press puts him, a mayor, at the same level as POTUS.
And the families have still never been compensated!
But you will still be charged for a day of your 2026 PTO.
Yes! I must have MISSED THE MEMO about the off-day, I actually emailed Jeff (sorry Jeff).
I kept checking every 15 minutes. I finally went to his Thursday post and re-read the last paragraph……lol. Sigh of relief followed.
Wow, you folks are hardcore! I checked several times and when there was no post (I had missed his comment), I assumed he'd simply taken the day off, to which he's entitled, by golly!
I can’t imagine anything good coming from being sworn in on a Quran. You’re kind of denying the first amendment (freedom of religion, speech) by that act.
That religion and those people are not compatible with The West.
Similar to the hindi bible which FBI Boss Patel used for his swear in.
Ridiculous.
Yup.
Rugged Individualism vs. Warm Collectivism. Right here, US, just a few years ago. Many cheered the 'warmth' of the collectivists. Many more tolerated and obeyed it without a peep.

People should swear on whatever item they have faith in. What good would it do for a Muslim to be sworn in on the Bible?
(Personally, I think the custom of swearing on some holy book is an unnecessary requirement. Swear on your own honor, or whatever. I mean, would an atheist use a phone book?)
Agree with your sentiment, and overall our word should mean something without a book placed below our hand… my point was that Islam is not compatible with our constitution, as Jeff S stated above
In other words, someone who truely believes in the Quran should not be holding public office in the US
Bingo.
exactly.
He should have sworn in on Mao's Red Book.
He should be deported for immigration fraud.
Our Founding Fathers were 100% Whites and 99% Christian (a couple were agnostic).
Let's not drift into 3rd world religions and people.
It makes a statement.
yes, a shit statement.
Since most officials no longer respect or adhere to the oath, it seems moot whether they are sworn in on a bible or a "Franklin the Turtle" story book.
So after reading all the comments it seems like a right and simple thing to do would be to swear on the US Constitution...!?
I like that idea. Afterall, that is what they are supposed to be upholding, not any state religion.
Also the genius running our FBI used the hindi bible. That should ban him from the role immediately.
You would feel better if he used a Bible even tho he doesn't believe it? Of course most elected politicians use the Bible & they don't believe it; that' must be why they are all such great elected politicians. At least he's being more honest by using a Koran.
My question is, what does he think the Koran tells him to do?
I don't want his stinking hands on a Bible. He is a heathen of the worst kind.
To his own eternal judgment.
and those who voted for him.
Nope, just saying adherence to Islam is incompatible with the US constitution.
I'm no authority but I suspect you are correct.
What about the Satanic Bible? See George Carlin about "swearing on the Bible" LOL
i am sure that is coming and a libtard state will be the first to endorse that.
One thing I have definitely leared: Jeff you will always make me laugh
I hope you leared your lessen.
That's a genuine meme right there!
Didn’t SCOTUS just rule that the President could not use the National Guard to protect law enforcement when making arrests and that he should use the US military instead?
Good observation. Falls in the be careful what you wish for category, does it not?
I wish for quite a bit more, actually…
Me too. But I wish for things different than the progressive socialist coalition.
Frank: Chief! 🧡💙🧡💙
I-L-L
I-N-I
Exactly. SCOTUS essentially gave the president permission to use the military in a variety of situations.
Good ruling. I'm tired of being dragged into Trump's whims and desires.
Some people might rather have the local folks in the National Guard help out and not the 101st Airborne. I just care that Federal LEOs are protected, if local police departments won’t assist for whatever reason…
Happy New Year! Have a laugh (or two):
Three writers, Frank, Ben, and Carl, who were attending a author’s convention, booked a three bedroom suite on the 75th floor of a hotel.
Upon arriving back at their inn from the convention, a mortified receptionist told them, “I’m terribly sorry, but all the elevators are out of order. Until fixed, you will have to hike the stairs.”
Now, Frank was a teller of funny stories, Ben was a conjurer of spooky stories, and Carl was a crafter of sad stories. The three of them concluded that, to make the trek to the top more tolerable, Frank would tell the other two his most hilarious stories while they climbed from floors 1 to 25, Ben would intone his scariest stories from floors 26 to 50, and Carl would regale them with his saddest stories from floors 51 to 75.
They began the arduous climb to the tippity top story, and Frank banged out the zaniest yarns he had ever put to paper. By the time they reached the 25th floor, Ben and Carl were howling hysterically.
Then Ben started to intone his spooky stories. By the time they hit the 50th floor milestone, Frank and Carl were wide-eyed and hugging each other in fear.
Then the spotlight was turned on poor Carl, and just as he started to narrate his most sorrowful sagas, he shrugged his shoulders, looked down in sadness, dug his hands around in his pockets for effect, and it then struck him that he had just had the inspiration for his most mournful tale yet:
“I’ll tell my saddest story of all right off the bat,” he says looking up: “There once was a man named Carl who left the hotel room key in the car...”
....
A grumpy drill sergeant was addressing a squad of twenty-five exhausted men and said:
“I have a nice cushy job for the laziest man here. Raise your hand if you are the laziest.”
24 tired blokes quickly raised their hands, and the sergeant asked the other man “why didn’t you raise your hand?”
The man replied: “Too much trouble raising the hand, Sarge.”
“Mom, don’t get alarmed, but I’m at the hospital.”
....
“Son, please. You’ve been a surgeon there for 8 years now. Can we start our phone calls differently?”
....
Little Kate (on phone): My daughter is having high fever and sadly she won’t be able to come to school today!
Teacher: Who is this?
Little Kate: This is my mother speaking
That story of the hotel with the broken elevator reminded me of the time I stayed on the 3rd story of a place with broken elevator. I extended the stay one day, and found out when I got back to the room that the key card didn't work. I used my cell phone to call the front desk and made the guy at the front desk bring up a new key card. I really should have tipped him, but didn't think about it until I checked out, and he wasn't on duty then. They cut my room rate in half for the stay.
It wouldn't have been too bad if I still had good knees and a heart rate that didn't spike to 140 or so when climbing stairs.
"Mamdani’s most significant practical orders —LIFT and SPEED— were conservative strategies."
Of course! That gives them chance to actually work, which they will use to give credit to communism.
That’s exactly what I was thinking when reading today’s article. The ol’ bait and switch to further their true communist desires. When you want people to hand over their freedoms and independence, you first have to make them believe you are their savior. Use capitalism to improve their lives, give the credit to socialism, then take everything from them with a smile on their faces.
100%. “Conservative strategies” and the “warmth of collectivism” are bait. Frogs will jump into the water, and Communists will turn up the heat.
yes Juju, spot on.
🎯🎯🎯
They’ll use it for the midterms…and then the tides will turn…
I can just see all the corruption that will take place under him just like in minnesota. just wait. this muslim is not with us nor for us. he is a truly bad seed.
I will bet that the “public lands” will soon be under the ownership of folks with Muslim names. More money laundering will ensue.
no doubt Brenda.
Ok, Shazam! Maduro is arrested! but not Walz & the Somali childcare/health care operators?
When will we hear "Shazam!" for them?
Who knows, one may lead to the other. I have a feeling this has to do with much more than drugs…
Election fraud. Dominion and SmartMatic operated from Venezuela and Maduro openly admitted that he was controlling elections in several countries and controlled the election in the US in 2020.. and all over the US in state and even some large city elections in the US.
I doubt that's true.
None of the charges he was facing in NYC are related to election fraud. There's allegedly plenty of that here in the USA and Trump still hasn't made any arrests.
He ADMITTED TO IT IN AN INTERVIEW.
I know you’re a Ukrainian and Johnny boy is your buddy, and both of you hate Trump which means that you probably voted many times for Biden in 2020.
So. Why don’t you get your wee boots on the ground and fight for your country….Ukraine?
Or are you just simply a coward?
Context and all matters.
I'm not Ukrainian-first of all. Johnny boy and I have argued quite a bit on here and he's even slung the "Hurr durr deep state CAI Fed asset" insult.
Trump is an idiot but when it comes to Venezuela and maduro he's right. There's a sanctioned vessel that was heading to VZ which the USN tried to board but the ship fled and suddenly changed flags and registered to Russia. The Russians told Trump to back off it and now there's a bunch of c17s heading to the UK as the ship steams back to Europe to evade sanctions. I think Trump is starting to show some backbone.
I've already been to Ukraine once before under Trump and performed assistance ops and even got a medal and a gift (piece of a KA52 they shot down and some armor from a destroyed russian tank) from them for my work
done.
Also, trying to encourage American soldiers to abandon their posts and go UA/Awol is called sedition which the "sedition six" did. You sure you want to go down that road?
Just got promoted and ironically Hegseth is on my promotion warrant. Absolute irony!
There's a huge amount of oil, supposedly the largest find in the Western Hemisphere, off the coast of Guyana, right next door to Venezuela. Maduro was apparently planning to annex much of Guyana and claim that reserve. So there's that......
Suriname.
that is certainly part of it. better we get it than him.
Feelings mean a lot!
Go read your first comment about having a feeling, then apologize to Margot.
I have a feeling many here can't handle the truth about the US government and the narco trade ;)
I know for a fact [no feelings required] there are people here that don't know their ass from a hole in the ground. Looking at you Johnny Zero. Trump and Thiel living rent free in that noggin of yours. Good luck buddy. You are in for a miserable 2026. TAW
Beckadee, are you one of the geniuses on these threads that was also in favor of invading Iraq and Afghanistan?
I'm actually in for a good 2026 since Trump is continuing the de-dollarization push, making my silver worth a whole lot of money, with more to come.
I'm glad you ignorance is creating a blissful life dear Beckadee!
j-o is an America hater. Always negative and spews vitriol constantly about Trump and the USA. Ignore him Beckadee as he is a pathogen.
Appreciate it but nope. Not ignoring the retards.
better you than me Beckadee. Take care!
Whats retarded is voting for the same thing over and over and expecting different results. I'm so glad hillary, gates, fauci, etc are rotting in prison!
der duh doi uff cha ching dahejcdubaya!
I hate what America has become. Trump is no savior - he's literally a continuation of the norm with some tinkering around the edges. Look in the mirror if you want to be saved.
blah blah blah. ssdd.
The wife of Michael Byrd, who killed Ashli Babbitt, has had a day care from her home for twenty-eight years.

As I savor my wonderful light roast Americano, I ponder deep things such as "if the average Somalian has an IQ of 67, why didn't smarter people cook up this scheme sooner?" After another satisfying sip from my thermal mug, I began to wonder if smarter people *did* cook up this scheme, with the Somalians being generously rewarded assets of a much grander operation conducted by those who cried like stuck pigs when DJT targeted USAID. After yet another satisfying splash of Americano, my thoughts turned to the suitcases of cash couriered out of the country by brilliant Somali rocket scientists, only to be laundered through ActBlue into competitive races in the US. Oh well, I just finished the last sip, and it's time to dream of the day when justice and accountability come crashing down on the "differently moraled" among us.
It is a matter of morals, not brains. "If you're so smart, why ain't you rich" is an amoral saying that shows their mentality.
