36 firefighters fired by the city of Seattle’s vaccine mandate are still fighting the city in federal court. Please pray for our victory as many of us are still trying to put our lives back together after losing our careers.

Lord we ask that justice comes for Ian & the firefighters in Seattle. That they would be rewarded for their service rather than punished. That You would provide for all their needs, so that they would know all that is good comes from You Father and fall on their faces to worship at the alter of the Most High God.

I pray in Jesus name, Amen

A tale of two cities here: Spokane, on the eastern, more conservative side of Washington has already righted their wrong after they fired a bunch of their firemen for refusing the jab but Seattle, the poster child for liberalism, won't budge. The facts are the same on the issue but liberals' mantra of "Don't confuse me with facts, my mind is made up," leaves these 36 guys out of work in their chosen field.

Pray for the intercession of St. Jude help of hopeless causes. Jesus rarely denies his intercession.

Sorr, but this Jude has long ago left this mortal coil, and can no longr DO anything but rejoice with his Saviour whom he serves.

Why not pray directly to that same Jesus who gave HIS life for us that we may live and glorify HIM in this life?

I mean, given the choice between having a quiet chat with a room host at the convention centre, why not sit down to a feast with the One who owns the whole place?

Perhaps more effective, write a few impassioned letters to theSeattle Poohbahs Grands who are continuing to wrong these noble public servants (the wronged firefighters)?

Novena (9-day-prayer) to St. Jude:

O Holy St. Jude, Apostle and Martyr, great in virtue and rich in miracles, near kinsman of Jesus Christ, faithful intercessor of all who invoke your special patronage in time of need, to you do I have recourse from the depths of my heart and humbly beg to whom God has given such great power to come to my assistance.  Help me in my present and urgent petition:

(State your request/intention here)

In return, I promise to make your name known and cause you to be invoked.  St. Jude pray for us all who invoke your special patronage and aid.  Amen.

"liberal", is another word/idea that the communists/leftists have stolen and re-'defined' (from what Classic economic liberalism meant, or even a "liberal demonocracy". Much like the rainbow, the word 'gay', and any of their 'double speak' words. The naming convention for their bills in congress as well. The "Inflation Reduction Act" skyrocketed inflation, the "Patriot" Act was not patriotic, the "Affordable Care Act" is NOT affordable, and on and on...

So true!

In Jeff's post he noted the study showing how extreme and narrow the ideology of the left is. Yes, it can be made a weak point (generally it's success feeds its certain failure), yet the broadness of the right also has some drawbacks. The post in the always free not a news feed substack "Global Warming" is an illustrative example...

This birds eye view is problematic to express, so most folk send one detailed post on one aspect or another of a multifaceted issue. The person reading only has to find some critique of that particular study, or a contrary paper on that particular assertion, or a contrary assertion from an MSM narrative “fact checker” and they go on, unconvinced and perhaps resentful.

Indeed, when one is taking a contrary to the narrative position, one is at a disadvantage based on the inescapable reality that every other possible perspective is loaded into the skeptics position, thus your view, no matter how rational, is part of the everything else “denier” camp. You deny GHGs have any possible warming. You deny viruses are real. You are a Moon landing denier, and a “conspiracy theorist”. You are lumped with “them” and often effectively marginalized.

This is why I do not address things like chem-trails, or weather modifications, or the position that there is no greenhouse effect, or the possible US cause of 911, or the “viruses are not real” position. They may, or may not be supportable, but they are in a losing position, (a minority even within the skeptics camp) and often a distracting position from the main issues affecting policy and destroying nations and lives. So, as I have not committed the time and effort required to have a position on those rare views, I leave them be. (“Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.”)

That is why I wrote this below article on Global Warming, to, as articulately as I am able, tackle the issue from every important policy affecting perspective, and yet kept it on solid well established peer review and established national and international databases. Kennedy is attacking the vaccine issue the same way, so as to not be lumped in with "them" https://anderdaa7.substack.com/p/global-warming Always free, not a news feed.

"They make a desert and call it peace"

- Tacitus (2,000 years ago)

This is, and has always been, the end result of Leftism.

As far as the left and their infatuation with illegals, they're not mad about the criminal illegals being rounded up and deported. They are mad about the future loss of congressional seats - particularly in swing precincts.

Im starting to think some of them are actual demons.

Seriously. Go look at the church of Satan. Their mission statement could easily have been the brainchild of at least half of them in congress. Bullet by bullet. Literally.

They sow disunity disguised as compassion. They partition and call it progress.

They destroy our culture by a thousand cuts so that the populace doesn't even recognize the decline as a slow and painful death...

....and then it happens all at once when a society forgets their first principles and lose the will to defend who they are.

Its all about the normalization of demoralization.

Pathologizing normal, and normalizing pathology

We have, by the will of God, awoken in just enough time to save our country from ruin.

Momcat's avatar

I could never understand how kids today have no idea of right and wrong, then I recently read about Michel Foucault (1926-1984). Never heard of him, but he was a pivotal figure behind the shift to postmodern relativism - the loss of belief in objective truth - everything is relative and there are no moral or absolute truths, nothing is right or wrong - which is the exact opposite of Christianity which holds that Jesus Christ is the only moral and absolute truth on which all humanity can depend, moral relativists have no way to discern what is true, because truth is whatever they believe it to be! Unfortunately, he's now the basis for a lot of the teaching to kids in college which explains kids inability to determine right and/or wrong. Watch a few Charlie Kirk videos, or apologist videos of Cliff Knechtel or Frank Turek, & you'll see how morally lost college kids are today. Foucault died in 1984 from HIV/Aids, was openly gay, supported decriminalization of paedophilia, all of which no doubt colored his writings & then in 2021 was accused of paying for sex w/young boys. no wonder the kids are not alright.

It’s imperative that we protect our county governments. That’s what they’re going after, the local level. We see that so clearly in SW Oregon. , They could never win county commissioner elections, so they tried to change the rules, putting that up for a vote. They lost even that, thank goodness.

I am a liberal, a person with an ideology of personal freedom (speech, religion, expression, movement) and I am anti war. I believe the government and society in in debt to the working class not large corporate entities. My values were once the Crown Jewels of the Democrat party. And yet I represent the modern republican party!

What you meant was “leftists”. LEFTISTS have destroyed the west coast, enshrining homeless encampments rather than creating safe spaces for children to walk home from school. LEFTISTS celebrate drug addiction and prostitution as “rights”. Leftists have joyfully levied tax burden on the common person in the form of money and time (think the Seattle hwy system) to indulge the non productive person. Leftists have transformed our cities into pot smoky poo encrusted hellscapes where the citizenry is preyed upon by lunatics living under overpasses. Leftists have infiltrated our schools with perverse messaging to even our youngest children. Liberals TRUE LIBERALS are fighting leftists tooth and nail!

We were visiting family in Richmond, VA in the fall of 2022. My BIL took us to a concert at a local eatery... They demanded vax passports. (He'd already purchased the pricey tickets). He proffered that we were from Florida "where the vax wasn't mandated..." (hum...) Somehow that worked... But sitting surrounded by vaxxed nuts... not my cup o tea.

Exactly. Same with what they did to the military personnel. It is strictly forbidden to jab the military with anything that is not "FDA" approved, which the jab was not. "Comerity" (or whatever that stupid name was/is) was never given to the military because of the billions spent on the other non-approved jabs that the debt printing machine paid for.
