The Colorado decision is what real insurrection looks like. The elites are terrified of Donald Trump. The Democrats started the last civil war and they will start the next with decisions like this. The Supreme Court will punt on this folks. Allowing it to stand

I’m struggling with keeping my Advent joyous and hopeful. With this news, and especially, the announcement out of the infiltrated and traitorous Vatican allowing same-sex blessings, it’s an ongoing struggle.
I’m doubling down on storming Heaven with prayers.
I struggle as well, but then I take time every morning, Christmas tree lights on, daylight a couple of hours away, and reflect what Christmas is really about. How totally miraculous was our Lord’s birth, foretold a thousand years and more previous in great detail. And it came to pas just as it was foretold. The symbolism is so powerful. Throughout history, especially after Christ ascended, the world has been beset by evil and times that try men’s souls. It is a joyous time because I am learning to turn my heart to Christ every day, and everyday His mercies are new and breathtaking.
I think this is the right way to go—not letting the evil in the world turn out focus from Christ’s birth and the good that came from that remarkable and world changing event.
R.L. - if you want to watch a beautiful movie depicting Christ's birth in Bethlehem--go to this website (part of David Jeramiah's Turning Point ministry) and watch "Why the Nativity" - it's a "docudrama" format and David's narration lends so much pathos to the wonderful actors' performances. ALL TRUE TO SCRIPTURE! No "Hollywood touch"!! https://www.davidjeremiah.org/whythenativity
You must be on a "smart"phone - because I don't have the "emoji" option...or I'd "emoji" you right back, Laura. CHRISTMAS GLAD TIDINGS to you and yours!
Yes it IS a waste of time and is bad for your spirit.
Money cannot buy the biggest treasure known to man. You have it. God gave it. It cost Him plenty. You are far more blessed than any Christless biillionaire.
Christ. Contemplate His gift when you feel that your season's bounty is lacking.
Bless you Michelle. Keep the faith. Pray for the lost that they too might receive Christ.
"For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil." (1 Timothy 6:10). Not ALL evil. One of the most misquoted scriptures in the Bible. But your point is well taken.
That's all well and good -- and I love the KJV and memorized scripture from that initially -- but that specific interpretation from the Greek would not explain Adam and Eve's original sin of pride. (or maybe it was envy?). Their sin had nothing to do with money. Pride is evil - it is sin, and sin is evil. Money was not the root of that evil. What was Satan's sin rooted in, that got him kicked out of heaven?
The Prodigal story was also very much about the son who remained with his father and checked all of the boxes for “righteous” but was very unhappy and unforgiving that his brother was so easily welcomed back by his father. Another facet of a a great lesson.
And to those lovely little blessings around us: people, family, friends, food, housing, transportation, employment, health..the reality of our daily lives. History was never completely glorious in the past, nor will it ever be.
We can thank God that we lived through a delightful Pax Romana in these United States. Like all such periods, however, they come and go.
This morning I hung three loads of wash on the line, doing only one laundry basket at a time, needing to come in after each to warm my hands. I don't know if temp had quite climbed up to 32F. On final 'coming in', as I walked in, I thought, "into my nice warm house"-- And that's even better since our boiler failed on Monday and we only got heat back yesterday--and even better than that, because our usual furnace repair company said it would take them a week to get to us, and we found a new company which arrived within hours] All things work for good for them that love the Lord.
Yes, it was great. I commented that today, at our school assembly, the elementary kids sang christmas songs and we also had a 4 week (one time a week) advent event. Public charter school in AZ...
That's WE THE PEOPLE'S true power - invoke Yahweh's wrath and righteous anger on the evil perpetrators. However...I am reminded of the Lord's command while here on the earth to "love your enemies"....so I am terribly conflicted right now. What I DO pray all the time throughout the day and as I lie in bed at night, "Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven".
That WILL come but not before the world is totally under the control of Lucifer and his demons and human minions. Read Scripture--even in the Old Testament - the "time of troubles' is fast approaching. After SEVEN YEARS of hell on earth--the Righteous Warrior King, Yeshua--the only begotten Son of Yahweh, will bring the heavenly warrior angels to do battle with Lucifer and his minions. It will be on the Plains of Megiddo....popularly referred to as "Armageddon" (which has been prolifically misused by Hollywood).
Just a rhetorical question but I'm not sure what makes 2024 any more special than the tribulations of the last 2000 years or even 2000 years in the future?
According to Scripture 7 years of HELL on earth (we do not have that right now as we still have the GRACE of our omnipotent Creator God blessing the fallen earth. WHEN this happens, Phil--according to Scripture--only the FATHER GOD knows - the Son and Holy Spirit do NOT know. They will take their "marching orders" from Jehovah Jireh!!
Whatever happens to a believer between now and the resolution of these things is a light and momentary affliction in the context of eternity.
Events that try us and test us are part of a bigger picture that we don't have. A sequence of events that will ultimately glorify Yahweh so that every knee will bow and proclaim that Christ Jesus is Lord.
We ought to proceed as those who KNOW our life is hidden in Christ, and redeem the time because the days are evil. We need to be ready with our testimony when asked where our confidence comes from.
Bless you for sharing this precious testimony, VVV!! "On Christ the Solid Rock I stand...all other ground is SINKING SAND". I can understand why people who know not the Lord Jesus as their Personal Savior turn to drugs, alcohol or other addictions in order to "ease the torments" in this earthly life. But....for me...I will "hie me to the Rock Who is higher than I"!!
Like you, when I wake at night, I 'pass the time' in prayer. Lately it has seemed that almost at the very moment I wake, I'm already into "Our Father, who art in heaven..."
Every morning, every night, Our Father who art in heaven....it's the one thing that gets me through the night and gets me through the day. Also beyond thankful for what I have today for tomorrow we know not what comes out way.
Lately, on waking, I thank Him for yet another night of rest (which is not always so restful as I am rough on my body) and yet another day to serve Him.
It is indeed! We are unfathomably blessed to have such a Savior! "Born to save the sons of earth! Born to give them second birth! Hark the Herald angels sing, Glory to the new born King!"
Me too! When I wake, burdened by worries or anxious thoughts, I’ve turned to thanking God for all the blessings in my life. As I count and acknowledge them, I fall back asleep.
Wait, the Vatican is now allowing same sex blessings??!!!
And the Evil One continues his triumphant screams as he dismantles the created order as much as he can before he is finally locked away forever in eternal torment. May God bring that day soon.
I think the Pope has been a pervert for a long time contrary to the typical faithful Catholic. Reminds me of the comparison between the POTUS and the American people.
”Don’t let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in me. There is more than enough room in my Father’s home. If this were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am. And you know the way to where I am going.”
“I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid. Remember what I told you: I am going away, but I will come back to you again. If you really loved me, you would be happy that I am going to the Father, who is greater than I am. I have told you these things before they happen so that when they do happen, you will believe.“
Blessed be the name of the Creator God who gave His begotten Son to us, his rebellious, sinful creation. The Gift of the shed blood of our Lord Jesus Christ is precious beyond belief. May we humbly bow at His nail-scarred feet upon His Second Coming to earth!! EVEN SO...COME, LORD JESUS!!
Don’t let what the Pope said worry you. He did not change dogma and he did not say that the Priest could bless unions but couples. Any couple who are in a sinful union can ask for a blessing if they are repented of their sinful way... couples who live together, have sex Nd are not married would fall under this two. The media is twisting this. Please do your research before you get upset. There are many Bishops and Priest who have clarified this.
At the risk of going too far down this rabbit hole, I think the problem is that, as is his usual approach, Pope Francis throws just enough mud in the water to confuse rather than clarify and that is the problem. While, technically, nothing has changed in Church teaching, we would be naive to think homosexual couples won't approach priests for blessings and we would be even more naive not to recognize the slippery slope now being greased.
Thank you, MayBella82 but I have to disagree. Fr Thomas Weinandy put it best.
“ Second, to bless couples in irregular marriages or same-sex couples without giving the impression that the Church is not validating their sexual activity is a charade. All those present at such blessings know, without a doubt, that such relationships are sexual in nature. No one is fooled. Actually, they are rejoicing that such sexual relations are being blessed. That’s the point of these blessings. It is not their sexual abstinence being blessed, but their sexual indulgence.”
I saw the "don't use the same verbiage as when blessing a union" Oh the thin vail! Does it respect Christ?
I notice there is no admonition to repent. That idea went out the papal window that antichrist poked his head out of.
Bishops and priests better not clarify too much or they may find themselves booted from the church and left penniless. IMO that would be the biggest blessing they ever received if they realize what is at hand. But...
The last couple of decades the people that control the media and the music, press, etc. have slowly degraded the Christmas traditions of Christians. It was done on purpose from the Christmas shows to the songs and music. The holidays so not to offend anyone, especially if they’re barely 3% of the population in a Christian country.
Ha ha I noticed that sometime during the reign of Obama, that the classical station went from playing carols in their mix throughout December, to none, with Christmas music only on Dec 24 and 25.
NOW it is just Dec 25.
I am old enough that when I was a kid, the "easy listening" station used to play 72 hours of carols AND print out a track list in the newspaper, which we kids would pour over and try to find out when our favorites would be on, so we could hear them. What a different world!
Fortunately our local classical station hasn't gone this route. It is the one place to listen to beautiful, reverent and, dare I say, liturgical music extolling the majesty and awe of G-d's grace. For all those who would rather the canon of Western music disappear, they can't deny that the vast majority of it was written by devout, religious people - Praise and thanks be to G-d, whose mercy endures forever!
There is a pastor who's sermons very often include the words from a traditional hymnal (he is Scottish) from his childhood. The words are so perfect and sound. His name is Alistair Begg. I wish I knew what hymnal he uses because it would be amazing for devotional and prayer. He is pastor to Parkside Church in Cleveland.
It’s likely the old blue Presbyterian hymnal would have many of them. I also looked up “old Scottish hymnal” & found reprints to buy. I looked up the old blue one too. Lots of copies.
I remember when my mother used to take us to downtown Toronto to see the Christmas decorated windows in the iconic Eatons and Simpsons department stores. Macy's and Gimbels used to do the same thing in NYC. Believe it or not, in the morning, she would take us into (forget the store. Could have been one of those, or perhaps a big pharmacy with a lunch counter) to participate in singing Christmas carols with customers and employees. I think we can safely conclude those days are long gone.
Well, WE can promote the spirit, but The Powers That WannaBe have clearly concluded that we will just be satisfied with dancing nurses and banging pots and pans out of windows....
Take heart that events seem to be lining up biblically! I get bogged down about losing my money in a financial disaster and frustration with the woke, but God told us the elect will NOT suffer through the mess, Jesus physically comes and takes us out b4 the tribulation...even though it already seems like the trib is happening. Either way...His Spirit already protected us from this disaster...NOT GETTING JABB'D... while ppl are falling to our right and to our left we are carried and instructed thru. Stay alert and calm....satan rushes and incites and calls you names and tries to get you fearful...do not take the bait. We must talk to each other about this often.
thank you! people need to get a clue who the REAL ENEMY IS. Jeff knows. he talked about Transhumanism today. its time to deal with the WEF, not some hapless queer boys. start punching UP, people, not down!
I’m not sure if you’re Catholic or what… I assume somwith reference to Vatican. It is tragic what is happening. Our pastor just preached an amazing sermon on Christmas and the whole “point” of Christmas not being so much about baby Jesus but being about his long awaited return for the melinnial reign. He will be here for 1000 years reigning. As society continues to crumble and Satan takes a stronger hold we will yearn more and more for Christs return as King. Take a listen here. It really is awesome and sermon is engaging.
Christmas is about a millennial reign? I thought Christmas was about the Incarnation of the Son Of God who came to shed His blood as the final sacrifice for our sins that we might received mercy in His shed blood and become adopted as God's children.
Further, when Christ rose from the grave and ascended to the throne at the right hand of God to rule and reign, Christ poured out the Holy Spirit on the church, His body on earth, to fill them with power which no evil spirit can stand against. When Christ ascended, Satan was caste out of heaven and fell like lightening to earth. The Holy Spirit dwells in the body of Christ on earth, the church militant, whose commission is to go forth and redeem all of history. How can it be that Satan can stand against the church and the Holy Spirit of God?
OK I found it. "Storming heaven with prayer". I love that picture. If communcation with power is insurrection we are in big trouble! Christ commands us, implores us to go to Him in prayer and supplication. In ALL things! For our sake. He wants that. More the better.
why do you care what the Vatican does? they were never your friend, always Globalists. and why do you care about same sex couples? dont you have enough issues in your own family to deal with ?
I care very much what the Vatican does or does not do. I am proud to be a Traditional Latin Mass Catholic who does not want to see my faith trounced upon by modernists in the hierarchy.
not sure what you are referring to since Im not able to see the original comment, but Im gonna guess its a homophobic issue you are having trouble letting go of?
remember this. God is Love. Jesus is Love. that is really all you need to know ;)
No that was not it. you said "why do you care what the Vatican does? they were never your friend, always Globalists. and why do you care about same sex couples? dont you have enough issues in your own family to deal with ?" to a woman who was concerned about the state of her church and what the vatican is doing (I would guess it is more than just the last decision by the Pope but more a long set of decisions that move them further from Biblical truth. Not to put words in her very capable mouth.
My response to you was " Christians should not care about sin and corrupting influences among the body of Christ? I am struggling to understand your logic Liz. "
thanks for clarifying. the VATICAN is a major HOME OF THE GLOBALIST REPTILIANS, along with the British Monarchy. doesnt everyone know this already? So looking to them for any kind of guidance is kind of like asking the Devil how to get out of a Faustian bargain. kinda an exercise in futility..
I think there is varying degrees of understanding about vatican ties to globalism. I think there are many Christians within the Catholic church that are dismayed. Just like there are many Christians who attend Christian churches that are dismayed with the direction of their church. The business of the church and their guidance of their sheep. Bad shepherding if you will. She chooses to go to the Catholic church. I choose not to go to a church (in person. I go online). I struggle with that because we should as Christians be lovingly keeping our human leaders in check. Making sure that they preach according to what God says in the Bible. So, staying and holding fast and speaking truth. Our Job as the overall part of working for Christ talking about Christ and His saving grace and how anyone might find it in a doctrinal sound way. So Christians better darn well care about any corrupting influence. Especially when eternal life is at stake, We cannot throw the Christians in the Catholic church (they do exist) out because their Pope is a corrupted, satanic wretch of a human. (sorry Pam).
I know, but for some people they choose to fight the good fight from within. That includes some very brave people within the institution. I am not a Catholic and I utterly disagree with their basic tenets, but I do know there are people there that I know who are Christians, but cannot for various reasons leave. I know it seems ludicrous to say that, but alas it is true. So they work to reform where they can and teach their children to read the Bible and decide for themselves (even thought they may enjoy Latin Traditional Mass).
Im a recovering catholic who enjoys traditional Latin Mass. But setting foot in these churches is rare, and purely cultural for me these days, since Im in MExico. Id rather find God /Goddess in the woods. or on the beach. or the Jungle. the Gnostics had it right.
I grew up in Colorado and always assumed I’d retire there, but no more. It started getting weird when they legalized weed and has gotten weirder with lightning speed, I think it’s trying to turn into California. I’ll just stay in TX. Also, I can’t wait to see this ballot issue slapped down by the supremes. I hope it’s unanimous.
I would not hold out any hope on the Supreme Court the 3 liberals will never vote favorably. Roberts will vote with them if he capture one of the conservative justices to make it 5-4 We place way too much faith in the legal system. It’s as corrupt as the rest of DC. Just look at what they are actually convicting the Jan 6 th protestors. They twisted some section of the legal code 10 million times to distort it from its original meaning and then only apply this new legal theory to the Jan 6th folks and nobody else.
Not completely, there are still many good people in government, just not at the top. I’m not black pilled, I’m naturally an optimist and generally think things will get better.
I admire that outlook--I am more of a realist BUT having said that...eventually--we will see TRUE JUSTICE when the Lord Jesus Christ sets up His PERFECT KINGDOM ON EARTH....that happens AFTER the "hell on earth" 7 years of tribulation though.
If the SCOTUS goes against the other rulings, I’m looking for densities not only call for but do their best to pack the court. Or I fear for the conservative judges , as they already know where they live.
Maryland is no better and the Biden state I live in just passed weed too. Some towns in Delaware where I live near the beach are possibly going to outlaw it, which is interesting. I hear some group is working on how to test if you’re driving high.
It’s mostly because Colorado was the first to allow widespread use of non-medical weed. It attracted all the pot smokers, many of whom don’t work or don’t work much. That’s why I mentioned it.
In Co briefly while driving back from NM and amazed, and disgusted, to see regular gas was only 86, not 87 octane. Unreal. Reminds me of the saying about the Swiss ,"They'll eat a nail, and spit out a screw"
Mee too. Upper Willamette. Wine & hazelnut country. We’ve been targeted since 2017 by the stealth products of Sauron’s NGOs. Some wins, some losses. They are trained, sneaky & tenacious! God Bless & Merry Christmas!
"Soft secession" might be the best real-world compromise (in terms of minimizing body count or other disorder). This is a term I see crop up at times in the dissident media. As I grok it, it basically means that individual States disregard Federal dictates. It's not all or nothing. A current example is TX's law that proposes to allow the State to deport illegals. This has already happened to a certain extent, such as the aforementioned marilization of legalwana. That, in effect was several States telling Washington f--k you, you say pot is illegal. We say not. And, so far as I know, the Feds blinked. Of course, the background issue is to what extent States have the right to be autonomous. How far will the trend continue? Who knows?
I have a long-time friend who lives near San Antonio and there IS a definite sector of the TX population (long time conservatives--NOT the transplants from CA) who are totally on board with secession from the "union"....this will be the death knell for our once great country though. I have NO desire for a truly "divided" U.S.A.--what would we even be CALLED?? "The Federation of States"??? Reminds me of the original Star Trek "governance!!
Also, a balkanized USA more vulnerable to attacks from other nations. Not like our military is the strongest, right now, but, say New Hampshire secedes (which is often talked about as well), what are they going to do if China decides to invade their 'country'? I just don't see them winning that one, and so then we are now in the same BS of sending 'foreign aid' because it is in our interests, or turning away and watching CCP gain a [greater--they are already here] foothold here.
The first step would be to rout all government officials that have committed treason as it is defined in the Constitution, which would include the majority of those who fought in our foreign wars.
Treason is defined in the Constitution at Article 3, Section 3, as consisting "only in levying War against (the United States), or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort."
All members of the American military take an oath to "support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; (and to) bear true faith and allegiance to the same."
When the military is committed to foreign actions without a declaration of war by Congress, as required by Article 1, Section 8, Paragraph 11 of the Constitution, that is a violation of the Constitution, arguably the action of domestic enemies.
When a member of the military participates in an unconstitutional foreign military deployment, s/he violates both the Constitution and his/her oath to "support and defend" it, giving "aid and comfort" to it's "domestic enemies," committing treason by the definition given by the Constitution.
Oddly, today there is levying war not by conventional means, but by other means. Call it Fourth Generation, Fifth Generation or whatever you like. In order to invoke treason as a prosecutable offense, Congress would have to identify the various organizations complicit (United Nations and its agencies, WEF, etc.) and issue a declaration of war as beomg existing between said agencies and the United States. This would be a can of worms problematic.
Nonetheless, treason against United States sovereignty has been committed. The governments of our country have been overthrown and taken captive. We are a largely disenfranchised people, and certainly so by usurpation of our constitutions various. The usurpations in manifold form are in my book ... treason having been committed.
The only lawful option that the federal government has to launch a war is by declaring one. The War Powers Act and supportive subsequent NDAAs have been superceded with continuous wars of aggression and conquest since WW2. Most of America's disenfranchisement has been caused by the negligence and apathy of the We the People who the founders counted on to control their government.
nope. blaming the Victim is not a useful option. lets LOOK AT THE GLOBALISTS who did jfk back when and have been leading us down a dark path ever since. WAKE UP TO THE WEF and the DEATH OF NATIONAL SOVEREIGNTY WITH THE WHO before its too late!
What global scumtards did to Yugoslavia (the Balkans) . Kosovo, Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia, Hersogovena, Macedonia, Montenegro. Makes it a lot easier for the Rules Based World Order to plunder and control them.
Please, please stop using Google. there are so many other search engines to chose from. Don't feed the beast. No other search engines censors like Google.
LOL it is generic for any search engine, in my vocab, but the 1st hit on DDG was,,,LOL...from google. I toggle back and forth between DDG--which I admit has gotten suckier--and Brave. Never use google. Can't find ANYTHING but what they want you to find, there. But the dictionary def was still untampered with.
The USA as we have known it is already gone. The empire is collapsing and the USG is on the verge of imploding the same way the Soviet Politburo did. There is no going back to what was. A new paradigm will have to arise from this mess going forward and this will be what we must work toward.
That's EXACTLY what Marty Armstrong voiced, Phil!! No going "back" is spot on! But what lies "ahead"...does our nation have the Holy Spirit guided leaders that we did in the 1700's? Sadly--I very much doubt it!! NEW LEADERS must be engendered from our young people--these old farts "leading" WE THE PEOPLE right now are despots for the most part!
My crystal ball gets real hazy beyond next year, much less next decade. Already, opposition to the NWO is arising in the East in the form of the BRICS. Internally in the US, opposition is arising among the "natives" who have had enough of their NWO lies. So...I think the Western cabal is getting desperate, especially the Bolsheviks in DC. Thanks to the Founding Fathers who created a multi-jurisdictional nation rather than a monolithic, top down government like most nations, America is very difficult to conquer even though they captured the Fed Gov't in the 2020 election coup. They were only able to capture some of the State governments and the county level, where ultimate authority resides, is completely uncontrollable from there point of view in spite of Soros best efforts.
But I know this from history, once a Marxist regime captures a government, they do not ever relinquish power voluntarily. There is no telling what they will do to keep control. They face the threat of opposition from Americans at the local level and the threat of losing a national election to the MAGA movement. Trump is the tip of that spear and they obviously fear what will happen to them if he gets back in office. They told us before it happened that there would be a pan-corona virus pandemic and now they are telling us that 2024 will see a collapse of the power grid. Guess what happens to the elections in that event.
Knowing what we (the awake ones) know of these nefarious "snoops" creeps and their powerful ploys within the Federal government and beyond...it will be TOTAL HAVOC if we lost power. Tell me, Phil--have you taken precautions to have some form of "power supply" in that event? I was asking my friend with whom I live to invest in a Generac back up generator (that runs on natural gas). But if the grid is attacked--will we even have access to natural gas? What are your thoughts, friend?
You do what you can and what is logical knowing that things may happen differently than you anticipated. Generac is great for several reasons. I would expect NG to still work unless the power grid goes down so long nothing works. I would hope that the gas companies have backup electrical generating capacity. My son has remote acreage within a short drive from our homes which will serve as a bug-out location if things go sideways. He is putting a large propane tank and a generator on the property. Same idea as you.
I'm in Northern California and there are a lot of people up here who have been attempting split the state into Southern vs. Northern California. The south along with the coastal cities are of course the crazy leftists, while the north is conservative and don't want to be part of the left dominant government. A LOT of people want this, but it seems impossible to do. For one thing, a lot of water the southern part of the state needs is piped from the north. So the PTBs will never permit this split anyway.
Perhaps you need to encourage your local governance people in N. Cally to "barter" with the honchos in S. Cally to levy smaller taxes and pare down on the perverted agenda and ESG "doctrine". Remind the "southerners" that IF the "northerners" vote to secede--they would lose ALL "water rights" OR have to pay a huge "water tax" to get the water they desperately need. Doesn't hurt to "haggle"!!
I pray it doesn't come to that--but now Hollywood is touting a new "dystopian" movie to premiere in April of 2024 (like Concerned Grammy from this group said 2 weeks ago - the cabal "warns" the general public in advance of their plans for the populace--this could be that "warning"). Marty Armstrong, the world-renowned economic forecaster, mentioned it on his blog yesterday! Here's a link to the trailer--it chilled me to watch even that much of it! https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/world-news/war/the-coming-american-civil-war/
There is a powerful top down roll back from Commie Woke now in the works. 2024 might be a watershed reversal year.
Also, we are not the only ones getting C & C type commentary. The rest of the world is watching. And also rest assured that the intelligence agencies of the world, including Russian, Chinese, Indian an so on are watching and noting. Given all the exposure, Commie Woke may be already over and we just don't know it yet.
I'm not holding my breath for any reversal, Dave--the "handwriting is on the wall" and our country has been found "lacking" in Godliness for so many decades. That's why I constantly pray that part of the "disciples' prayer"...."may Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven". WE THE PEOPLE NEED TO REPENT AND TURN FROM OUR WICKED WAYS!
I agree. Especially on the repenting of Wicked Ways. However, there is a roll back against Commie Woke in progress, and just too many indications as to be coincidence. Ukraine sanctions failure, a massive miscalculation, pushed the need to roll back into high gear. And Woke forces have a huge problem, massive international rejection of the insanity of what the once revered United States has become.
And so, I think the roll back will continue. I think we will get relief but not real reform. No power will be returned to the people. The security/terror state will not be dismantled. The economic fundamentals will have to change. The below video is apt to be challenging to a lot of people and the interviewer says as much. Nonetheless, this is in part a most cogent assessment of some key fundamentals. For instance, nobody but nobody in the financial world takes about 'spare capacity' as being key. This guy being interviewed did. This makes him top drawer.
However and again ... and absent repenting, no Godly change of any significance.
I think you pegged it pretty well. However, I opine this little speculation the are always a ruling class ... and ruling classes are aways factional because it is foundationally intrinsic to humankind that folks never but never wholly agree. And as a kicker, is also a matter of distance whether of not it is small or large disagreements. We, as you know, are the most polarized we have ever been in America excepting on the eve of the American Civil War.
The words 'oligarch' and/or 'oligarchy' in recent decades has taken on a more sinister meaning, but it does not always have to be so. Woke seems to be in retreat and Globalist with it. This may not be obvious, but the two maybe already finished ... or at least in decline. The rest of the world knows that the West is totally bats off the rails insane, and they really don't want anything to do with it. And the Western ruled 'populations' are pissed angry and have had a belly full. These two things mean that that crazy has to be walked backwards or else the real power above the stage of actors has a very high risk of losing control, something they most definitely don't want. (But walking it back won't be accomplished in weeks or months, but over many years.
I have NEVER read Marty Armstrong mentioning anything about the Bible or Christianity in his blogs. What evidence do you have to make that statement, Vonu?
They have disappointed us before. They should have taken that Texas v Pennsylvania case. And when they didn't, my heart sank. That was our last best hope. They were cowards and didn't want to interfere in elections. They need to understand that NOW the courts ARE unabashedly interfering. The rubicon has been crossed and SCOTUS MUST act to stop this. Standing down the last time emboldened leftist activist benches all over the country. Other blue judiciaries will follow if SCOTUS tries again to stay out of it. DO NOT ABDICATE YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES AGAIN, SCOTUS. This is your moment.
This is the wild card. And by appearances, it looks like a Powerful Somebody has put a burr under the Woke Supreme Courts saddle because the court is now taking cases and making ruling which they never before would take up. One wonders about control files, influence and who is now pulling the puppet strings?
I guess we don't know. ??? I image that the control files are still out there somewhere ... and still controlling. The usual suspects would be the intelligence agencies ... CIA, Mossad, Brits too.
"No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any state, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any state legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any state, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof."
"...rebellion against the same..."
I'm far far from being any legal scholar, but I read that as breaking one's Oath to the Constitution, something that just about every elected or appointed "representative" at every level of government does daily.
Exactly. We are not really operating under the Constitutions. It's really all captured government under Uniform Commercial Code as by-laws of The Corporation(s). I think about this all the time. It's a travesty. And this is the real insurrection qua a large scale usurpation over decades of time.
There is a group led by an older gentleman and his wife from the Michelle Moore show on Rumble, that is teaching about our Constitution and leading them to start a Classes around our Country. Last name is Flynn of the couple. Michelle has a hell of a show everyday at 4 or 5. She plays documentaries on her channel too.
He can win without Colorado's 10 electoral votes. He wasn't going to get them in the general anyway. But then if Trump is re-elected, Colorado is in a very awkward position of having ruled the president of the US ineligible for office, assuming their ruling stands. How does Colorado deal with an ineligible and thus illegitimate head of state?
Think about a Trump presidency, in spite of Colorado's actions. There's many actions that could punish the insurrection of the Colorado Supreme Court. I'd love it if all that resulted was them holding their collective breath for four years, worrying about it...
A massive write-in vote turn out would speak volumes. Of course there's probably a whole Lotta cheating already, in Colorado. So.
America has never had a civil war, the claimed one not having been a battle for control of the USA but a successful attempt to force the CSA back into the union and return to the picking of their pocket with unconstitutional tariffs on their imports into the Union. It was started by a treasonous first Republican president, not a Democrat. His sole option was to allow the CSA to remain independent and the City of London to call their loans and replace him with someone more devious.
As someone said in a podcast yesterday, we need to stop calling them elites. They are the real untermensch, subhuman satanic scum of the universe is closer to the actuality.
I hope and pray you are wrong and that the Supreme Court shows great courage and wisdom, and that they aren't intimidated by the Deep State that has turned our whole justice system on its ear. I pray they adhere to the intent of our founders as they gave us our Constitution and Bill of Rights. The real insurrectionists are the Deep State and the wildly out of control far left Democrats. Our republic is holding on by the tip of one fingernail as it desperately fights to keep from going over the cliff to destruction. If the SC doesn't overthrow this ruling, it will be the final nail in the coffin of the great country our founders created. Our country will have been overthrown and destroyed on OUR watch and we did not prevent it. Unfortunately, once they destroy Trump and our nation, they will come after us, Conservatives, Christians, patriots who love our country, those who fight for right and freedom, those who won't toe the Woke line, those who refuse to call evil good and good evil. May God open the eyes of those living in delusion and help them to see what is happening in our great country before their very eyes before it's too late...if it isn't already too late. I grieve for this nation that I love so much!
Also the Democrats started the KKK. They are the ones behind BLM and Antifa but they are not through. They will reveal an armed force much like Hitler's Brown Shirts and the SS that will come out to terrorize America the same way the KKK did.
How could Trump have attempted to overthrow the government, when on Jan. 6, 2021 he was the head of the executive branch of the government? More than any other one person, Trump WAS the government on Jan. 6.
The Colorado decision is what real insurrection looks like. The elites are terrified of Donald Trump. The Democrats started the last civil war and they will start the next with decisions like this. The Supreme Court will punt on this folks. Allowing it to stand
I’m struggling with keeping my Advent joyous and hopeful. With this news, and especially, the announcement out of the infiltrated and traitorous Vatican allowing same-sex blessings, it’s an ongoing struggle.
I’m doubling down on storming Heaven with prayers.
I struggle as well, but then I take time every morning, Christmas tree lights on, daylight a couple of hours away, and reflect what Christmas is really about. How totally miraculous was our Lord’s birth, foretold a thousand years and more previous in great detail. And it came to pas just as it was foretold. The symbolism is so powerful. Throughout history, especially after Christ ascended, the world has been beset by evil and times that try men’s souls. It is a joyous time because I am learning to turn my heart to Christ every day, and everyday His mercies are new and breathtaking.
I think this is the right way to go—not letting the evil in the world turn out focus from Christ’s birth and the good that came from that remarkable and world changing event.
R.L. - if you want to watch a beautiful movie depicting Christ's birth in Bethlehem--go to this website (part of David Jeramiah's Turning Point ministry) and watch "Why the Nativity" - it's a "docudrama" format and David's narration lends so much pathos to the wonderful actors' performances. ALL TRUE TO SCRIPTURE! No "Hollywood touch"!! https://www.davidjeremiah.org/whythenativity
Thanks for sharing the link - I will check it out. Have a great day.
You are most welcome, Melanie--I watched it 2 weeks ago on a Sunday evening - I plan on re watching it on Christmas Eve.
Blessings abound to you and yours!
I watched that last year. It was so SO good. What a great recommendation.
I just found it on Youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cu0aohQugT0
It isn't on Rumble : ((
Much better message than It's a Wonderful Life - which is fine if you want to remove Jesus' birth from the Christmas celebrations!!
I watched it, thank you for the link. I liked the descriptions and the scripture back up.
I thought David Jeremiah's narration was superb - it leant such clarity to the movie. The actors were also phenomenal! Glad you enjoyed it, LMWC!
Thank you for sharing this link.
You are most welcome, C. M.!
Thank you Sharon. So beautifully done and David’s voice is so very soothing.
Merry Christmas. 😘❤️
You must be on a "smart"phone - because I don't have the "emoji" option...or I'd "emoji" you right back, Laura. CHRISTMAS GLAD TIDINGS to you and yours!
Agree not turning it away from the good but all the more turning us to the HOPE in Christs return!
ABSOLUTELY!
Yes!!
I am really learning about why the commandment "Thou Shalt Not Covet" is a thing, this year.
Why?
Because so many people I was low-key envious of/grumbly about as I compared their lives/achievements to mine...
...are now dead.
What a waste of the energy God gave me.
I am learning. Slow learner, late to religion, but grateful every day.
Yes it IS a waste of time and is bad for your spirit.
Money cannot buy the biggest treasure known to man. You have it. God gave it. It cost Him plenty. You are far more blessed than any Christless biillionaire.
Christ. Contemplate His gift when you feel that your season's bounty is lacking.
Bless you Michelle. Keep the faith. Pray for the lost that they too might receive Christ.
I always go back to...... For the love of money IS the root of ALL evil.
"For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil." (1 Timothy 6:10). Not ALL evil. One of the most misquoted scriptures in the Bible. But your point is well taken.
I quote from the King James bible, not the modern interpretations.
Pride, envy, hatred, lust, sexual sins... Roots are not always in money. Just food for thought. I definitely agree money is the root of many evils!
That's all well and good -- and I love the KJV and memorized scripture from that initially -- but that specific interpretation from the Greek would not explain Adam and Eve's original sin of pride. (or maybe it was envy?). Their sin had nothing to do with money. Pride is evil - it is sin, and sin is evil. Money was not the root of that evil. What was Satan's sin rooted in, that got him kicked out of heaven?
It is the commandment that addressed intentions...if you think about it, doesn't all sin begin as covetousness? Wanting something that is not ours?
Prodigal son was, too--and how much his father loved his return!
The Prodigal story was also very much about the son who remained with his father and checked all of the boxes for “righteous” but was very unhappy and unforgiving that his brother was so easily welcomed back by his father. Another facet of a a great lesson.
And to those lovely little blessings around us: people, family, friends, food, housing, transportation, employment, health..the reality of our daily lives. History was never completely glorious in the past, nor will it ever be.
We can thank God that we lived through a delightful Pax Romana in these United States. Like all such periods, however, they come and go.
This morning I hung three loads of wash on the line, doing only one laundry basket at a time, needing to come in after each to warm my hands. I don't know if temp had quite climbed up to 32F. On final 'coming in', as I walked in, I thought, "into my nice warm house"-- And that's even better since our boiler failed on Monday and we only got heat back yesterday--and even better than that, because our usual furnace repair company said it would take them a week to get to us, and we found a new company which arrived within hours] All things work for good for them that love the Lord.
Gratitude is balm.
✝️🕊🙏🏽
This makes me think of Naomi Wolf’s post from today, which I thought was really thoughtful and beautifully written.
https://naomiwolf.substack.com/p/not-offended-by-christmas/comments
Yes, it was great. I commented that today, at our school assembly, the elementary kids sang christmas songs and we also had a 4 week (one time a week) advent event. Public charter school in AZ...
Wow that is awesome!
Excellent! Don't miss this read.
Love this! Having this perspective in focus can bring peace despite the chaos of evil.
What a beautiful, beautiful comment. Thank you. "His mercies are new and breathtaking." Amen.
Just lovely.
That's WE THE PEOPLE'S true power - invoke Yahweh's wrath and righteous anger on the evil perpetrators. However...I am reminded of the Lord's command while here on the earth to "love your enemies"....so I am terribly conflicted right now. What I DO pray all the time throughout the day and as I lie in bed at night, "Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven".
I pray for the destruction of all evil in government and that all dictators and evil politicians are removed from power regardless of the party.
We need FREEDOM across the world without war.
That WILL come but not before the world is totally under the control of Lucifer and his demons and human minions. Read Scripture--even in the Old Testament - the "time of troubles' is fast approaching. After SEVEN YEARS of hell on earth--the Righteous Warrior King, Yeshua--the only begotten Son of Yahweh, will bring the heavenly warrior angels to do battle with Lucifer and his minions. It will be on the Plains of Megiddo....popularly referred to as "Armageddon" (which has been prolifically misused by Hollywood).
Just a rhetorical question but I'm not sure what makes 2024 any more special than the tribulations of the last 2000 years or even 2000 years in the future?
According to Scripture 7 years of HELL on earth (we do not have that right now as we still have the GRACE of our omnipotent Creator God blessing the fallen earth. WHEN this happens, Phil--according to Scripture--only the FATHER GOD knows - the Son and Holy Spirit do NOT know. They will take their "marching orders" from Jehovah Jireh!!
I can't say I've heard that before. That's surprising.
Whatever happens to a believer between now and the resolution of these things is a light and momentary affliction in the context of eternity.
Events that try us and test us are part of a bigger picture that we don't have. A sequence of events that will ultimately glorify Yahweh so that every knee will bow and proclaim that Christ Jesus is Lord.
We ought to proceed as those who KNOW our life is hidden in Christ, and redeem the time because the days are evil. We need to be ready with our testimony when asked where our confidence comes from.
Exactly, brother in Christ! We must stay grounded in His WORD!
That has kept me going for years--in decades past, when I realized I was losing yet another baby, those are the words I prayed.
Bless you for sharing this precious testimony, VVV!! "On Christ the Solid Rock I stand...all other ground is SINKING SAND". I can understand why people who know not the Lord Jesus as their Personal Savior turn to drugs, alcohol or other addictions in order to "ease the torments" in this earthly life. But....for me...I will "hie me to the Rock Who is higher than I"!!
Like you, when I wake at night, I 'pass the time' in prayer. Lately it has seemed that almost at the very moment I wake, I'm already into "Our Father, who art in heaven..."
Every morning, every night, Our Father who art in heaven....it's the one thing that gets me through the night and gets me through the day. Also beyond thankful for what I have today for tomorrow we know not what comes out way.
Lately, on waking, I thank Him for yet another night of rest (which is not always so restful as I am rough on my body) and yet another day to serve Him.
👍
Your comment made my heart smile, VVV!!! It's called our "soul's cry"!!!
It is indeed! We are unfathomably blessed to have such a Savior! "Born to save the sons of earth! Born to give them second birth! Hark the Herald angels sing, Glory to the new born King!"
Love to hear this sung by a huge choir--like that of the Mormon Tabernacle genre - (smile)!
Yes! As I listen to Handel's Messiah part 1 for the enth time this season...
Me too! When I wake, burdened by worries or anxious thoughts, I’ve turned to thanking God for all the blessings in my life. As I count and acknowledge them, I fall back asleep.
Sharon those words are the last thing I say in my prayers. I give my life to you Lord. Thy will be done.
Total SURRENDER brings total COMFORT, doesn't it, Cathy?
Wait, the Vatican is now allowing same sex blessings??!!!
And the Evil One continues his triumphant screams as he dismantles the created order as much as he can before he is finally locked away forever in eternal torment. May God bring that day soon.
perhaps the Fairy God Pope has his own personal lusts of the flesh he's finally succumbing to, fundamentally transforming Catholicism
I think the Pope has been a pervert for a long time contrary to the typical faithful Catholic. Reminds me of the comparison between the POTUS and the American people.
Commie Pope is the anti-Christ.
I had no idea either. What a disgrace
”Don’t let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in me. There is more than enough room in my Father’s home. If this were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am. And you know the way to where I am going.”
“I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid. Remember what I told you: I am going away, but I will come back to you again. If you really loved me, you would be happy that I am going to the Father, who is greater than I am. I have told you these things before they happen so that when they do happen, you will believe.“
John 14:1-4, 27-29 NLT
Blessed be the name of the Creator God who gave His begotten Son to us, his rebellious, sinful creation. The Gift of the shed blood of our Lord Jesus Christ is precious beyond belief. May we humbly bow at His nail-scarred feet upon His Second Coming to earth!! EVEN SO...COME, LORD JESUS!!
Don’t let what the Pope said worry you. He did not change dogma and he did not say that the Priest could bless unions but couples. Any couple who are in a sinful union can ask for a blessing if they are repented of their sinful way... couples who live together, have sex Nd are not married would fall under this two. The media is twisting this. Please do your research before you get upset. There are many Bishops and Priest who have clarified this.
At the risk of going too far down this rabbit hole, I think the problem is that, as is his usual approach, Pope Francis throws just enough mud in the water to confuse rather than clarify and that is the problem. While, technically, nothing has changed in Church teaching, we would be naive to think homosexual couples won't approach priests for blessings and we would be even more naive not to recognize the slippery slope now being greased.
Exactly. It is the next step in the process of eventual blessing of ‘unions.’ You would have to be very naive to think it is not in the works.
Thank you, MayBella82 but I have to disagree. Fr Thomas Weinandy put it best.
“ Second, to bless couples in irregular marriages or same-sex couples without giving the impression that the Church is not validating their sexual activity is a charade. All those present at such blessings know, without a doubt, that such relationships are sexual in nature. No one is fooled. Actually, they are rejoicing that such sexual relations are being blessed. That’s the point of these blessings. It is not their sexual abstinence being blessed, but their sexual indulgence.”
I saw the "don't use the same verbiage as when blessing a union" Oh the thin vail! Does it respect Christ?
I notice there is no admonition to repent. That idea went out the papal window that antichrist poked his head out of.
Bishops and priests better not clarify too much or they may find themselves booted from the church and left penniless. IMO that would be the biggest blessing they ever received if they realize what is at hand. But...
The last couple of decades the people that control the media and the music, press, etc. have slowly degraded the Christmas traditions of Christians. It was done on purpose from the Christmas shows to the songs and music. The holidays so not to offend anyone, especially if they’re barely 3% of the population in a Christian country.
Ha ha I noticed that sometime during the reign of Obama, that the classical station went from playing carols in their mix throughout December, to none, with Christmas music only on Dec 24 and 25.
NOW it is just Dec 25.
I am old enough that when I was a kid, the "easy listening" station used to play 72 hours of carols AND print out a track list in the newspaper, which we kids would pour over and try to find out when our favorites would be on, so we could hear them. What a different world!
Fortunately our local classical station hasn't gone this route. It is the one place to listen to beautiful, reverent and, dare I say, liturgical music extolling the majesty and awe of G-d's grace. For all those who would rather the canon of Western music disappear, they can't deny that the vast majority of it was written by devout, religious people - Praise and thanks be to G-d, whose mercy endures forever!
There is a pastor who's sermons very often include the words from a traditional hymnal (he is Scottish) from his childhood. The words are so perfect and sound. His name is Alistair Begg. I wish I knew what hymnal he uses because it would be amazing for devotional and prayer. He is pastor to Parkside Church in Cleveland.
I love listening to him on the radio.
It’s likely the old blue Presbyterian hymnal would have many of them. I also looked up “old Scottish hymnal” & found reprints to buy. I looked up the old blue one too. Lots of copies.
God bless! 🙏🏽👆🏼✝️🕊💌
I just ordered one off EBay. Thank you Dick.
Most welcome! There’s nothing like the old hymns & Psalms of the faith!
Have a Blessed Christmas, Raptor!
Same to you!
I remember when my mother used to take us to downtown Toronto to see the Christmas decorated windows in the iconic Eatons and Simpsons department stores. Macy's and Gimbels used to do the same thing in NYC. Believe it or not, in the morning, she would take us into (forget the store. Could have been one of those, or perhaps a big pharmacy with a lunch counter) to participate in singing Christmas carols with customers and employees. I think we can safely conclude those days are long gone.
Well, WE can promote the spirit, but The Powers That WannaBe have clearly concluded that we will just be satisfied with dancing nurses and banging pots and pans out of windows....
Wow! Here in CA we have 3 stations playing Christmas music right after TKS day!
Naomi Wolf had a beautiful essay discussing this https://naomiwolf.substack.com/p/not-offended-by-christmas
Naomi Wolf had a great post on this subject today

I literally wrote almost word for word the same comment.
Well, great minds think alike! 😁

Take heart that events seem to be lining up biblically! I get bogged down about losing my money in a financial disaster and frustration with the woke, but God told us the elect will NOT suffer through the mess, Jesus physically comes and takes us out b4 the tribulation...even though it already seems like the trib is happening. Either way...His Spirit already protected us from this disaster...NOT GETTING JABB'D... while ppl are falling to our right and to our left we are carried and instructed thru. Stay alert and calm....satan rushes and incites and calls you names and tries to get you fearful...do not take the bait. We must talk to each other about this often.
If all the people commenting on same sex marriages, focused on exposing the pedophiles in the church we could stop the New World Order.
thank you! people need to get a clue who the REAL ENEMY IS. Jeff knows. he talked about Transhumanism today. its time to deal with the WEF, not some hapless queer boys. start punching UP, people, not down!
Hi Pamela,
I’m not sure if you’re Catholic or what… I assume somwith reference to Vatican. It is tragic what is happening. Our pastor just preached an amazing sermon on Christmas and the whole “point” of Christmas not being so much about baby Jesus but being about his long awaited return for the melinnial reign. He will be here for 1000 years reigning. As society continues to crumble and Satan takes a stronger hold we will yearn more and more for Christs return as King. Take a listen here. It really is awesome and sermon is engaging.
https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/grace-church-of-simi-valley/id868354961
Christmas is about a millennial reign? I thought Christmas was about the Incarnation of the Son Of God who came to shed His blood as the final sacrifice for our sins that we might received mercy in His shed blood and become adopted as God's children.
Further, when Christ rose from the grave and ascended to the throne at the right hand of God to rule and reign, Christ poured out the Holy Spirit on the church, His body on earth, to fill them with power which no evil spirit can stand against. When Christ ascended, Satan was caste out of heaven and fell like lightening to earth. The Holy Spirit dwells in the body of Christ on earth, the church militant, whose commission is to go forth and redeem all of history. How can it be that Satan can stand against the church and the Holy Spirit of God?
AMEN !
Beautifully said. Powerful Truth ✝️
That was very good, Lisa! Thank you!!
✝️🕊👆🏼💌
I’m glad you listened and enjoyed it. It was a refreshing different take on Christmas. Be blessed!
You too!
Thank you, Lisa.
Are you attempting insurrection on Heaven?
I lost the thread. What are you talking about?
OK I found it. "Storming heaven with prayer". I love that picture. If communcation with power is insurrection we are in big trouble! Christ commands us, implores us to go to Him in prayer and supplication. In ALL things! For our sake. He wants that. More the better.
God bless the prayers.
We have not because we ask not.
God bless the prayers 🙏
Nope!!
😊
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
I'm sure in 1859 most Americans celebrated Christmas with the same optimism.
why do you care what the Vatican does? they were never your friend, always Globalists. and why do you care about same sex couples? dont you have enough issues in your own family to deal with ?
I care very much what the Vatican does or does not do. I am proud to be a Traditional Latin Mass Catholic who does not want to see my faith trounced upon by modernists in the hierarchy.
Christians should not care about sin and corrupting influences among the body of Christ?
I am struggling to understand your logic Liz.
not sure what you are referring to since Im not able to see the original comment, but Im gonna guess its a homophobic issue you are having trouble letting go of?
remember this. God is Love. Jesus is Love. that is really all you need to know ;)
No that was not it. you said "why do you care what the Vatican does? they were never your friend, always Globalists. and why do you care about same sex couples? dont you have enough issues in your own family to deal with ?" to a woman who was concerned about the state of her church and what the vatican is doing (I would guess it is more than just the last decision by the Pope but more a long set of decisions that move them further from Biblical truth. Not to put words in her very capable mouth.
My response to you was " Christians should not care about sin and corrupting influences among the body of Christ? I am struggling to understand your logic Liz. "
thanks for clarifying. the VATICAN is a major HOME OF THE GLOBALIST REPTILIANS, along with the British Monarchy. doesnt everyone know this already? So looking to them for any kind of guidance is kind of like asking the Devil how to get out of a Faustian bargain. kinda an exercise in futility..
I think there is varying degrees of understanding about vatican ties to globalism. I think there are many Christians within the Catholic church that are dismayed. Just like there are many Christians who attend Christian churches that are dismayed with the direction of their church. The business of the church and their guidance of their sheep. Bad shepherding if you will. She chooses to go to the Catholic church. I choose not to go to a church (in person. I go online). I struggle with that because we should as Christians be lovingly keeping our human leaders in check. Making sure that they preach according to what God says in the Bible. So, staying and holding fast and speaking truth. Our Job as the overall part of working for Christ talking about Christ and His saving grace and how anyone might find it in a doctrinal sound way. So Christians better darn well care about any corrupting influence. Especially when eternal life is at stake, We cannot throw the Christians in the Catholic church (they do exist) out because their Pope is a corrupted, satanic wretch of a human. (sorry Pam).
it's not "their PopE". its the ENTIRE INSTITUTION OF THE VATICAN that has been corrupt, baby killers, satanic, from the beginning.
Watch FALL THE CABAL, very worth it.
I know, but for some people they choose to fight the good fight from within. That includes some very brave people within the institution. I am not a Catholic and I utterly disagree with their basic tenets, but I do know there are people there that I know who are Christians, but cannot for various reasons leave. I know it seems ludicrous to say that, but alas it is true. So they work to reform where they can and teach their children to read the Bible and decide for themselves (even thought they may enjoy Latin Traditional Mass).
Im a recovering catholic who enjoys traditional Latin Mass. But setting foot in these churches is rare, and purely cultural for me these days, since Im in MExico. Id rather find God /Goddess in the woods. or on the beach. or the Jungle. the Gnostics had it right.
Make it make sense!
I grew up in Colorado and always assumed I’d retire there, but no more. It started getting weird when they legalized weed and has gotten weirder with lightning speed, I think it’s trying to turn into California. I’ll just stay in TX. Also, I can’t wait to see this ballot issue slapped down by the supremes. I hope it’s unanimous.
I would not hold out any hope on the Supreme Court the 3 liberals will never vote favorably. Roberts will vote with them if he capture one of the conservative justices to make it 5-4 We place way too much faith in the legal system. It’s as corrupt as the rest of DC. Just look at what they are actually convicting the Jan 6 th protestors. They twisted some section of the legal code 10 million times to distort it from its original meaning and then only apply this new legal theory to the Jan 6th folks and nobody else.
I agree, but if there’s any issue ripe for unanimity, it’s this one. One can always hope that sensible minds will prevail.
Sensible minds have ceased prevailing in all American governments.
Not completely, there are still many good people in government, just not at the top. I’m not black pilled, I’m naturally an optimist and generally think things will get better.
I admire that outlook--I am more of a realist BUT having said that...eventually--we will see TRUE JUSTICE when the Lord Jesus Christ sets up His PERFECT KINGDOM ON EARTH....that happens AFTER the "hell on earth" 7 years of tribulation though.
Scum has always risen to the top, eventually.
I would venture to say in ALL governments! POWER AND GREED run this present fallen world! Always has!!
If the SCOTUS goes against the other rulings, I’m looking for densities not only call for but do their best to pack the court. Or I fear for the conservative judges , as they already know where they live.
Maryland is no better and the Biden state I live in just passed weed too. Some towns in Delaware where I live near the beach are possibly going to outlaw it, which is interesting. I hear some group is working on how to test if you’re driving high.
It’s mostly because Colorado was the first to allow widespread use of non-medical weed. It attracted all the pot smokers, many of whom don’t work or don’t work much. That’s why I mentioned it.
In Co briefly while driving back from NM and amazed, and disgusted, to see regular gas was only 86, not 87 octane. Unreal. Reminds me of the saying about the Swiss ,"They'll eat a nail, and spit out a screw"
I believe that’s because of the altitude. I remember my dad explaining it to me once... but it was long ago.
Will you stay in Texas if Texit succeeds?
Heck I’d like to move there if they do.
if I were from Portland Id have moved there already! ;)
With 13 grandchildren here it’s hard to leave. Luckily we are a bit south of Portland. We are seeing the spread unfortunately
Mee too. Upper Willamette. Wine & hazelnut country. We’ve been targeted since 2017 by the stealth products of Sauron’s NGOs. Some wins, some losses. They are trained, sneaky & tenacious! God Bless & Merry Christmas!
Secedes? I doubt that’s ever going to happen but I guess I’d decide depending on how it happened.
"Soft secession" might be the best real-world compromise (in terms of minimizing body count or other disorder). This is a term I see crop up at times in the dissident media. As I grok it, it basically means that individual States disregard Federal dictates. It's not all or nothing. A current example is TX's law that proposes to allow the State to deport illegals. This has already happened to a certain extent, such as the aforementioned marilization of legalwana. That, in effect was several States telling Washington f--k you, you say pot is illegal. We say not. And, so far as I know, the Feds blinked. Of course, the background issue is to what extent States have the right to be autonomous. How far will the trend continue? Who knows?
Maybe you should bone up on the movement, since it might get on the ballot, with polls running in the 60% range in favor of it.
I have a long-time friend who lives near San Antonio and there IS a definite sector of the TX population (long time conservatives--NOT the transplants from CA) who are totally on board with secession from the "union"....this will be the death knell for our once great country though. I have NO desire for a truly "divided" U.S.A.--what would we even be CALLED?? "The Federation of States"??? Reminds me of the original Star Trek "governance!!
hey not all CA transplants are not conservatives!
I'm sure nothing is 100% - not even Cally transplants in TX (I am surmising that YOU are one of those rare birds, Lisa?)
Also, a balkanized USA more vulnerable to attacks from other nations. Not like our military is the strongest, right now, but, say New Hampshire secedes (which is often talked about as well), what are they going to do if China decides to invade their 'country'? I just don't see them winning that one, and so then we are now in the same BS of sending 'foreign aid' because it is in our interests, or turning away and watching CCP gain a [greater--they are already here] foothold here.
I want us to work it out!
The first step would be to rout all government officials that have committed treason as it is defined in the Constitution, which would include the majority of those who fought in our foreign wars.
Treason is defined in the Constitution at Article 3, Section 3, as consisting "only in levying War against (the United States), or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort."
All members of the American military take an oath to "support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; (and to) bear true faith and allegiance to the same."
When the military is committed to foreign actions without a declaration of war by Congress, as required by Article 1, Section 8, Paragraph 11 of the Constitution, that is a violation of the Constitution, arguably the action of domestic enemies.
When a member of the military participates in an unconstitutional foreign military deployment, s/he violates both the Constitution and his/her oath to "support and defend" it, giving "aid and comfort" to it's "domestic enemies," committing treason by the definition given by the Constitution.
Oddly, today there is levying war not by conventional means, but by other means. Call it Fourth Generation, Fifth Generation or whatever you like. In order to invoke treason as a prosecutable offense, Congress would have to identify the various organizations complicit (United Nations and its agencies, WEF, etc.) and issue a declaration of war as beomg existing between said agencies and the United States. This would be a can of worms problematic.
Nonetheless, treason against United States sovereignty has been committed. The governments of our country have been overthrown and taken captive. We are a largely disenfranchised people, and certainly so by usurpation of our constitutions various. The usurpations in manifold form are in my book ... treason having been committed.
The only lawful option that the federal government has to launch a war is by declaring one. The War Powers Act and supportive subsequent NDAAs have been superceded with continuous wars of aggression and conquest since WW2. Most of America's disenfranchisement has been caused by the negligence and apathy of the We the People who the founders counted on to control their government.
nope. blaming the Victim is not a useful option. lets LOOK AT THE GLOBALISTS who did jfk back when and have been leading us down a dark path ever since. WAKE UP TO THE WEF and the DEATH OF NATIONAL SOVEREIGNTY WITH THE WHO before its too late!
This is also why Biden should be impeached.
What do you mean by "balkanized", Michele?
What global scumtards did to Yugoslavia (the Balkans) . Kosovo, Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia, Hersogovena, Macedonia, Montenegro. Makes it a lot easier for the Rules Based World Order to plunder and control them.
omg please look it up!
From google:
balkanize
verb
To divide a territory into small, hostile states.
Alternative capitalization of Balkanize.
Divide a territory into small, hostile states.
Please, please stop using Google. there are so many other search engines to chose from. Don't feed the beast. No other search engines censors like Google.
LOL it is generic for any search engine, in my vocab, but the 1st hit on DDG was,,,LOL...from google. I toggle back and forth between DDG--which I admit has gotten suckier--and Brave. Never use google. Can't find ANYTHING but what they want you to find, there. But the dictionary def was still untampered with.
And I do have my ways, to find what I want....
And you would WANT that for our Constitutional Republic???
No--reread my comment: it says balkanization is NOT good, because makes us more vulnerable.
It might be an improvement on its current status as the USSA.
The USA as we have known it is already gone. The empire is collapsing and the USG is on the verge of imploding the same way the Soviet Politburo did. There is no going back to what was. A new paradigm will have to arise from this mess going forward and this will be what we must work toward.
That's EXACTLY what Marty Armstrong voiced, Phil!! No going "back" is spot on! But what lies "ahead"...does our nation have the Holy Spirit guided leaders that we did in the 1700's? Sadly--I very much doubt it!! NEW LEADERS must be engendered from our young people--these old farts "leading" WE THE PEOPLE right now are despots for the most part!
My crystal ball gets real hazy beyond next year, much less next decade. Already, opposition to the NWO is arising in the East in the form of the BRICS. Internally in the US, opposition is arising among the "natives" who have had enough of their NWO lies. So...I think the Western cabal is getting desperate, especially the Bolsheviks in DC. Thanks to the Founding Fathers who created a multi-jurisdictional nation rather than a monolithic, top down government like most nations, America is very difficult to conquer even though they captured the Fed Gov't in the 2020 election coup. They were only able to capture some of the State governments and the county level, where ultimate authority resides, is completely uncontrollable from there point of view in spite of Soros best efforts.
But I know this from history, once a Marxist regime captures a government, they do not ever relinquish power voluntarily. There is no telling what they will do to keep control. They face the threat of opposition from Americans at the local level and the threat of losing a national election to the MAGA movement. Trump is the tip of that spear and they obviously fear what will happen to them if he gets back in office. They told us before it happened that there would be a pan-corona virus pandemic and now they are telling us that 2024 will see a collapse of the power grid. Guess what happens to the elections in that event.
Knowing what we (the awake ones) know of these nefarious "snoops" creeps and their powerful ploys within the Federal government and beyond...it will be TOTAL HAVOC if we lost power. Tell me, Phil--have you taken precautions to have some form of "power supply" in that event? I was asking my friend with whom I live to invest in a Generac back up generator (that runs on natural gas). But if the grid is attacked--will we even have access to natural gas? What are your thoughts, friend?
You do what you can and what is logical knowing that things may happen differently than you anticipated. Generac is great for several reasons. I would expect NG to still work unless the power grid goes down so long nothing works. I would hope that the gas companies have backup electrical generating capacity. My son has remote acreage within a short drive from our homes which will serve as a bug-out location if things go sideways. He is putting a large propane tank and a generator on the property. Same idea as you.
I'm in Northern California and there are a lot of people up here who have been attempting split the state into Southern vs. Northern California. The south along with the coastal cities are of course the crazy leftists, while the north is conservative and don't want to be part of the left dominant government. A LOT of people want this, but it seems impossible to do. For one thing, a lot of water the southern part of the state needs is piped from the north. So the PTBs will never permit this split anyway.
Perhaps you need to encourage your local governance people in N. Cally to "barter" with the honchos in S. Cally to levy smaller taxes and pare down on the perverted agenda and ESG "doctrine". Remind the "southerners" that IF the "northerners" vote to secede--they would lose ALL "water rights" OR have to pay a huge "water tax" to get the water they desperately need. Doesn't hurt to "haggle"!!
its going to happen, seems obvious. the coasts have little in common anymore with the sane people and most just dont want WOKE culture
from a former Californian
It would probably go back to being the Republic of Texas.
I'd definitely have to consider moving back to where I lived for 2.5 years.
I pray it doesn't come to that--but now Hollywood is touting a new "dystopian" movie to premiere in April of 2024 (like Concerned Grammy from this group said 2 weeks ago - the cabal "warns" the general public in advance of their plans for the populace--this could be that "warning"). Marty Armstrong, the world-renowned economic forecaster, mentioned it on his blog yesterday! Here's a link to the trailer--it chilled me to watch even that much of it! https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/world-news/war/the-coming-american-civil-war/
There is a powerful top down roll back from Commie Woke now in the works. 2024 might be a watershed reversal year.
Also, we are not the only ones getting C & C type commentary. The rest of the world is watching. And also rest assured that the intelligence agencies of the world, including Russian, Chinese, Indian an so on are watching and noting. Given all the exposure, Commie Woke may be already over and we just don't know it yet.
I'm not holding my breath for any reversal, Dave--the "handwriting is on the wall" and our country has been found "lacking" in Godliness for so many decades. That's why I constantly pray that part of the "disciples' prayer"...."may Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven". WE THE PEOPLE NEED TO REPENT AND TURN FROM OUR WICKED WAYS!
not we the people. ITS RECOGNIZING THE ENEMY. THE WEF , WHO etc.
I agree. Especially on the repenting of Wicked Ways. However, there is a roll back against Commie Woke in progress, and just too many indications as to be coincidence. Ukraine sanctions failure, a massive miscalculation, pushed the need to roll back into high gear. And Woke forces have a huge problem, massive international rejection of the insanity of what the once revered United States has become.
And so, I think the roll back will continue. I think we will get relief but not real reform. No power will be returned to the people. The security/terror state will not be dismantled. The economic fundamentals will have to change. The below video is apt to be challenging to a lot of people and the interviewer says as much. Nonetheless, this is in part a most cogent assessment of some key fundamentals. For instance, nobody but nobody in the financial world takes about 'spare capacity' as being key. This guy being interviewed did. This makes him top drawer.
However and again ... and absent repenting, no Godly change of any significance.
yeah I think its gonna take a lot more work from all of us before that is the case. not Commmie woke anyway. its OLIGARCH GLOBALIST WOKE.
I think you pegged it pretty well. However, I opine this little speculation the are always a ruling class ... and ruling classes are aways factional because it is foundationally intrinsic to humankind that folks never but never wholly agree. And as a kicker, is also a matter of distance whether of not it is small or large disagreements. We, as you know, are the most polarized we have ever been in America excepting on the eve of the American Civil War.
The words 'oligarch' and/or 'oligarchy' in recent decades has taken on a more sinister meaning, but it does not always have to be so. Woke seems to be in retreat and Globalist with it. This may not be obvious, but the two maybe already finished ... or at least in decline. The rest of the world knows that the West is totally bats off the rails insane, and they really don't want anything to do with it. And the Western ruled 'populations' are pissed angry and have had a belly full. These two things mean that that crazy has to be walked backwards or else the real power above the stage of actors has a very high risk of losing control, something they most definitely don't want. (But walking it back won't be accomplished in weeks or months, but over many years.
Armstrong sometimes can't see past his Christian mindset to see reality.
I have NEVER read Marty Armstrong mentioning anything about the Bible or Christianity in his blogs. What evidence do you have to make that statement, Vonu?
If you can't see it, you haven't read him on LRC.
Ha! Martin never seemed much of a Christian to me. For the life of me, I don't understand this comment.
While only tends to indicate that you have never been a Christian of any sect.
They have disappointed us before. They should have taken that Texas v Pennsylvania case. And when they didn't, my heart sank. That was our last best hope. They were cowards and didn't want to interfere in elections. They need to understand that NOW the courts ARE unabashedly interfering. The rubicon has been crossed and SCOTUS MUST act to stop this. Standing down the last time emboldened leftist activist benches all over the country. Other blue judiciaries will follow if SCOTUS tries again to stay out of it. DO NOT ABDICATE YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES AGAIN, SCOTUS. This is your moment.
This is the wild card. And by appearances, it looks like a Powerful Somebody has put a burr under the Woke Supreme Courts saddle because the court is now taking cases and making ruling which they never before would take up. One wonders about control files, influence and who is now pulling the puppet strings?
who has those Epstein videotapes I wonder
I guess we don't know. ??? I image that the control files are still out there somewhere ... and still controlling. The usual suspects would be the intelligence agencies ... CIA, Mossad, Brits too.
"No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any state, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any state legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any state, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof."
"...rebellion against the same..."
I'm far far from being any legal scholar, but I read that as breaking one's Oath to the Constitution, something that just about every elected or appointed "representative" at every level of government does daily.
99% of them are disqualified to hold any office.
Exactly. We are not really operating under the Constitutions. It's really all captured government under Uniform Commercial Code as by-laws of The Corporation(s). I think about this all the time. It's a travesty. And this is the real insurrection qua a large scale usurpation over decades of time.
There is a group led by an older gentleman and his wife from the Michelle Moore show on Rumble, that is teaching about our Constitution and leading them to start a Classes around our Country. Last name is Flynn of the couple. Michelle has a hell of a show everyday at 4 or 5. She plays documentaries on her channel too.
And this stands out... “or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.” <-- this has happened a ton!
Of course, the people of Colorado can put Donald Trump as a write in.
He can win without Colorado's 10 electoral votes. He wasn't going to get them in the general anyway. But then if Trump is re-elected, Colorado is in a very awkward position of having ruled the president of the US ineligible for office, assuming their ruling stands. How does Colorado deal with an ineligible and thus illegitimate head of state?
With an insurrection? 🤔😛
(Just thinking about the irony)
Think about a Trump presidency, in spite of Colorado's actions. There's many actions that could punish the insurrection of the Colorado Supreme Court. I'd love it if all that resulted was them holding their collective breath for four years, worrying about it...
A massive write-in vote turn out would speak volumes. Of course there's probably a whole Lotta cheating already, in Colorado. So.
Maybe their queer governor could give him head.
No, they said they would NOT count any write-in vote for Trump!
No they can’t. Theres something in the ruling that says they won’t count any write in votes for him.
The Colo. GOP said they’d change to a caucus and he can get on the ballot that way. I don’t know if l all states allow that though.
I understood it to say they won't count the write ins for him. 🙄
How does a write in acquire the requisite electors to win in the electoral college?
America has never had a civil war, the claimed one not having been a battle for control of the USA but a successful attempt to force the CSA back into the union and return to the picking of their pocket with unconstitutional tariffs on their imports into the Union. It was started by a treasonous first Republican president, not a Democrat. His sole option was to allow the CSA to remain independent and the City of London to call their loans and replace him with someone more devious.
Finally. Someone who gets it. A perfect example of how they control us by 1984 distortion of the language.
I pray you are wrong. Too much rides on this.
The WEF is interfering with the '24 election already.
As someone said in a podcast yesterday, we need to stop calling them elites. They are the real untermensch, subhuman satanic scum of the universe is closer to the actuality.
They don't care what we call them as long as they get all the money. .
I hope and pray you are wrong and that the Supreme Court shows great courage and wisdom, and that they aren't intimidated by the Deep State that has turned our whole justice system on its ear. I pray they adhere to the intent of our founders as they gave us our Constitution and Bill of Rights. The real insurrectionists are the Deep State and the wildly out of control far left Democrats. Our republic is holding on by the tip of one fingernail as it desperately fights to keep from going over the cliff to destruction. If the SC doesn't overthrow this ruling, it will be the final nail in the coffin of the great country our founders created. Our country will have been overthrown and destroyed on OUR watch and we did not prevent it. Unfortunately, once they destroy Trump and our nation, they will come after us, Conservatives, Christians, patriots who love our country, those who fight for right and freedom, those who won't toe the Woke line, those who refuse to call evil good and good evil. May God open the eyes of those living in delusion and help them to see what is happening in our great country before their very eyes before it's too late...if it isn't already too late. I grieve for this nation that I love so much!
dont be confused. this is beyond left and right. many former leftists like moi are with you. but we need more freedom, not a religious war.
Also the Democrats started the KKK. They are the ones behind BLM and Antifa but they are not through. They will reveal an armed force much like Hitler's Brown Shirts and the SS that will come out to terrorize America the same way the KKK did.
I sure hope you are wrong because that way lies TRUE insurrection and the civil war many of us would like to avoid.
It’s also a big distraction sure to dominate the news
I honestly wonder if this isn't all Kabuki theatre. Think about it:
Trump either was too dumb or ill advised/not advised not to make a copy of the binder before he turned it in to the DOJ? My BS radar is going off.
Someone on social media pointed out that Fox News has already called Colorado for Biden.
In what way did the Colorado Supreme Court attempt to overthrow the US government?
Would you like to complete the last sentence of your post?
How could Trump have attempted to overthrow the government, when on Jan. 6, 2021 he was the head of the executive branch of the government? More than any other one person, Trump WAS the government on Jan. 6.
What better position can an insurrectionist have?
Such as O'Biden.
