At the turn of the twentieth century Rev. J.H.Boetcker lectured around the United States using these ten sentiments. Ronald Regan once used some of these in a speech attributing it to Lincoln but it was The Reverend Boetcker’s.

It’s incredible how erroneous and deceptive this DSA/Democrat/Obama communist movement is as they push the exact opposite onto an America that was built on these ten principles. Take a look.

* You cannot bring prosperity by discouraging thrift.
* You cannot help small men by tearing down big men.
* You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
* You cannot lift the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer.
* You cannot help the poor man by destroying the rich.
* You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than your income.
* You cannot further brotherhood of men by inciting class hatred.
* You cannot establish security on borrowed money.
* You cannot build character and courage by taking away man's initiative and independence.
* You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves.

The democrats are selling “government dependence” where America was built on “independence from government”, the contrast has never been more obvious. There was a time when parents taught their children this and schools were tools to prepare kids for a lifetime of self-sufficiently and independence. Though this has gone on for decades, Obama and Biden have been the modern catalyst for pushing these current generations to dependence on government. Pure and simple, democrats have fundamentally brainwashed generations to have a mindset that communism is good.

The Republicans need to work 24/7, pass the Save Act, confirm the judges, and accomplish other assorted things they avoided. Show us some work ethic ladies and gentlemen. I'll bring food and drop it off on the Capitol steps.

Margot Wooster's avatar

Yeah, they need to. But I’m feeling pretty cynical on this particular issue, and I predict they won’t. Uniparty on display!

WE allowed this to happen. And maybe, for me, an 11th sentiment: stop blaming others for what you are responsible for.

Oh the lame ducks! Think of it, they’ve lost the election, so no more money. The flow stopped. The lobbying may have stopped. What is a lame duck’s motivation to do anything they would not already have done? This Congress passed the least amount of bills in years! What would I expect them to do anything now? Meanwhile even a one term Congressman or Senator leave with a lifetime pension and a Cadillac health plan and we sit here and just take it.

✝️✝️✝️

God be gracious to us and bless us,

And cause His face to shine upon us— Selah.

That Your way may be known on the earth,

Your salvation among all nations.

Let the peoples praise You, O God;

Let all the peoples praise You.

Let the nations be glad and sing for joy;

For You will judge the peoples with uprightness

And lead the nations on the earth. Selah.

Let the peoples praise You, O God;

Let all the peoples praise You.

The earth has yielded its produce;

God, our God, blesses us.

God blesses us,

That all the ends of the earth may fear Him.

— Psalm 67:1-7 LSB

Selah means Pause, exalt, lift up thy voice in praise ...appears 71 times in Psalms..

It’s sort of a pause in the music— and means to reflect,

is what I was taught years ago.

Raffensberger? We all know he was instrumental in making sure Trump did not get the GA Electoral votes in 2020. What irks me is how the Dem politicians, who BELIEVE they actually "won", are threatening the rest of America, as if they were given the mandate of the majority of Americans. How long did they work on their cheating tactics this time? Did they use only the machine algorithms, or illegals voting, or a combination of the two?

I am not worried, Trump knows it was rigged, and he has his two best "Generals" at the helm - Hegseth and Miller.

I pray that there the investigations of this election will change it. The Democrats can't win without cheating...and I read that there are more than 50 validated instances of fraud that are being investigated.per Peter Schweizer, President of Government Accountability Institute. There should be a stiff penalty for cheating to deter it from happening. In the past, men were tarred,, feathered, beaten and put to death for lesser crimes.

Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead! I hope you bet big on Kalshi on increased GOP majorities in the House and Senate in the midterms, because you deserved that.

You advocated again and against against course correction, failing to see the bloodbath that listening to people like you guaranteed for the GOP.

Here's the thing about wingnuts.

Your extreme ideology isn't driven by strength; it's driven by existential terror.

in his recent interview with Tucker Carlson, POTUS Trump was forced to confront his own mortality. When Tucker asked him about the catastrophic fallout of a strike on Iran, Trump looked him in the eye and dismissed the end of the world, saying: '"In the end, we’re all going to die anyway, so what does it matter?'"

Trump is 80 years old, staring down the grave, and surrounded by an aging echo chamber. When a fatalistic leader with his finger on the nuclear button believes that individual annihilation makes global annihilation irrelevant, everyone is in mortal danger. But guess what? Whether your dogmatic mind can accept it or not, post-Einsteinian physics—specifically Tipler's thermodynamics—has already proven that Hell is a physical reality. When he takes everyone with him, you will finally face the simulation you've earned.

You mean the generals feeding him Mossad intel bullshit that got us to start a war for Israel? Those generals? Yeah, what could go wrong.

AJF's avatar

I blame voting fraud. 20 million more “voters" in 2026 than 2024? If you believe that I've got a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you🙄

Good Monday morning all!

Thanks be to God for His blessings and mercy!

Morning, Karmy!

“Congressional Republicans are about to face their first big test. Think they’ll pass the test? Let me know in the comments.”

Pffft. What do *you* think? Failure, thy name is Republican.

Good morning everyone! Cheapest gas today in Topeka $3.46

Karmy's avatar

Good morning Shayne! Yes I noticed here in Montana the day after the election the gas dropped 20 cents a gallon. And it keeps going down. Funny how that works.

shayne's avatar

Oh, lucky you guys. Can't wait for it to be under $3 here too.

CeeMcG's avatar

I paid $5.97 in El Cajon (San Diego) the other day and called it a win. It’s over $6 in most parts of the county. Thanks to Greasy Gavin.

shayne's avatar

Hard to 'liked' That's shocking CMG

CeeMcG's avatar

Down by the airport it’s over $7 a gallon and I think Los Angeles is maybe in the $8 range. It’s ridiculous. We pay $.63 a gallon in gas taxes but our oleaginous Governor never offers a temporary reprieve. And now the idiots in this state just elected Becerra. 😡. God help us.

Starting a Brownstone Supper Club in or even near Boston must be like trying to light a joint underwater.

I noticed the east coast scarcity. And nothing in Phila area. Funny, that.

Tony schiano's avatar

Well, if we don’t see an all out effort by house and senate republicans to move along Trumps agenda before the “regime” change, then we know this is all just Kubuki theatre.

You too NoVA. I just happened to open the laptop as C&C popped up. Cheers.

In late June 2021 I FLEW in an AIRPLANE from Mexico, (where I was a covid refugee), to Germany for five months. Halfway thru my time there I was invited into a ragtag, clandestine anti-lockdown social group. We met for fellowship in secret places like folks’ backyards and deserted barns.

It was an unprecedented feeling for me, righteous lawbreaker.

… perhaps akin to the thrill Jeff describes at encountering the men and women at Brownstone.

Johnny-O's avatar

Jeff still can't admit how devastating the US led war for Israel was to the election. Just wow.

Rudi Schmidt's avatar

didn't take long.

Anyone else notice Trump wearing his white ball cap these days? Also Data Republican was a guest on Rich Does Politics (YouTube). Have a listen if you have wondered about that story. And @jeffchilders please write if you have any insights about Harmeet stepping down from her role.

Karmy's avatar

I read last week that she wanted to step down before the election but was asked to wait until after. 🤷‍♀️

Emily 🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼's avatar

Yes I read that too. Asked by Susie W. And on Harmeet’s X account she posted about how she was free to say what she wanted but maybe she just meant generally give her opinion about anything and everything. Just curious why now.

I wish they would work extremely hard until January to finally pass all of Trump's bills..and to codify his changes into law so they can't be reversed...IF they would have done their jobs and pushed through Trump's agenda all would have been OK. As for Thune, he was a lower from the gate. Evidently we all knew it except for the senate. And as for Massie wanting to impeach ou secretary of war...he should be thrown under the jail. Funny how he NEVER had a problem with the treasonous judges we have been dealing with for years. Revelation time is here. People and things ARE being exposed for who and what they really are.

ROKM's avatar

Let me just say that I am BOILING. All that work, all those revelations that God Himself revealed out of the despicable lies, thievery, and deceptions of the left, and WE DID NOTHING. All the wimps, and I am talking about Thune and his compatriots, all of them sat on their hands a whined instead of capitalizing on Trump's work and his taking the heat. I am glad that I no longer consider myself a republican. I am ASHAMED of them all. What a bunch of weak cowards. Now, while there is still time, although you fools could have done something before, NOW GET TO WORK. Shut up and get to work. I do not want to hear one RINO complaining or parsing anything. DO IT and shut up.

Jim Olson's avatar

Sadly, I’ve come to expect the Rs to do nothing to help save us from the coming collapse of the Republic. Thune is emblematic of how pathetic our leaders have become.
