Trump trial resumes, big question looms; Iran loses its president in the mountains; Ukraine loses its president in 'democracy'; Russia-China deal shows Biden failure; La. charts biblical course; more.
β₯οΈ I tried to βlikeβ your post but my βlike buttonβ still doesnβt register. Iβll be glad when that problem is fixed, as Iβve noted others complaining of it.
That exact process (that you described Running Logic) worked for me a couple of days in a row, however NOTHING will register at all for the past 3 days.
I'm using Nattokinase, Bromelain & NAC for long covid, (no vax,) & it helps. Ditto nicotine.
Also recently stated taking sea salt & that helps even more. Experimenting a bit but there's a lot of old information on the benefits of natural salt. Go figure. Think it may be another place where we have all been seriously misled...
For the vaxxed it's different, though. Zev Zelenko told them to keep inflammation low, very, very low, and perhaps use Ivermectin, or Nicotine like Brian Ardis says, to deal with the Spike.
Misfolded protiens are another issue along with immune system disregulation.
Find a good practioner working on healing the modRNA vax injured, they are out there.
Kevin McKernan & Kevin McCairn, both PhDs, both on X are doing research to find solutions. You might hear about them there early on.
Nicotine: Many years ago William Cambell Douglas II, MD wrote a book called "The Health Benefits of Tabacco" in which he outlined the benefits of nicotine. Therein he recommends Tobacco wrapped cigars or pipe smoking because it doesn't involve inhalation. For an up-to-date rundown on the various alternatives see: https://daveasprey.com/is-nicotine-the-next-big-smart-drug/#What%20Is%20Nicotine?
Also of note from the book and tied in with an earlier post on C&C: "Another culprit [of heart disease] that has been ignored is FLOURIDE, which is probably even more of a risk than homocysteine (folic acid, B12, and B6 deficiency).
General exhaustion, systemic inflammation, brain fog. Those have been the lasting impact of SARS-COV-2 for me, plus some high blood pressure.
My thinking cleared up & my energy levels improved once I got on Natto, Bromelain & NAC. The Nicotine also helps but I'm not very consistent with it. My blood pressure is still a little high, but I blame the Sociopaths running the world right now for a fair amount of it, lol!
I swear my BP soars with the world scene right now. But about long covid, My husband has brain fog, memory loss, serious tiredness and inflammation. I will be sure he takes those. He takes Fenbendazole, ivermectin, Quercetin but nothing helps. He did the Purification Rundowwn detox which is sauna, Niacin etc. That helped.
Or forced with threat of termination and given 5 days notice. In 2021. I literally begged Hubs to quit that effing company, but, as former Navy, shots were pretty normal. We tried to get a medical exemption due to his dad's demise of a brain disease, but no. His company denied it, even denied his doctors note to them. He had ONE shot, but they required the 2 and a booster. Eff them. They got one shot and he said he felt like he was in a concentration camp when they waved him through the shot shack on the pier. He is an electrical engineer on a fishing boat, highly skilled. I swear upon all that is holy that if anything happens to this man, I will OWN that company.
Not from him. Because it was saline, pretty sure. He was injected in Seattle. But, I would not let him touch me for a while afterwards and he was really mad. Don't care. But, we are part time in Florida and when I am around a lot of jabbed, many Canadians, it makes me ill. Headaches, brain fog and weird other symptoms, like tingling. Was really bad in 2021 thru 2023. I would try to stay away from large gatherings.
Thank you for responding Sadie. I'm sorry I just saw this today. I appreciate you sharing. My husband got a hot lot of J/J and is fine. My son and I though, have had a LOT of shedding issues from him though just due to the initial exposure. Trying to navigate next steps. Thanks for the info. Best of luck.
I too hope it is not as devastation as he and other say it will be... especially since it is the western nations that will suffer huge population decreases, if the Deagle forecasts are correct... and IF that happens... our county may be in real trouble... in terms of being taken over... sounds crazy... but...
I, personally, have never been opposed to religious beliefs being posted and even taught in schools, provided EVERY valid religion be included in the curriculum/agenda. The Bible is but ONE of the many holy books out there, many of which predate the Bible and New Testament by thousands of years. All of them teach ethical standards, respect for life and Nature, the concept of the presence of a Higher Being and show the students that human cultures from all over the World since time immemorial have valued reverence, love, kindness, obedience to Spiritual Laws, charity and respect for All.
Ah... I didn't know that she was from Ireland... yes, that country, like so many others... went full FUBAR... the Irish citizens seem primed for a revolution... as should happen in Australia, England, Germany, etc... unless they see big change
Import low-IQ violent islamoturd animals (parasites)... reap the whirlwind... it is coming soon to America.
Election and politics everywhere! Covid was dropped so an election could be stolen. We know the basement resident didnβt win in 2020, we have eye witness accounts of thousands of election tampering deceit and a blind eye was turned. Republicans in every swing state turned away from obvious felonious actions and said, βmove alongβ, weβll get it back in 2024. Will any of us be surprised when it doesnβt happen. We have become a Nation of political theater sponsored by the bureaucratic state, while most Americans struggle.
Pennsylvania cheated in 2008 & 2012, using buses & paying βout of townersβ with fake IDβs, that they transported from one polling place to the next. I heard, detailed, eyewitness accounts from a former State Police officer that said they were forbidden to talk about what they saw. And of course there was the intimidation from the Black Panthers in Philly, that were never prosecuted. They used the same bus loads of βvotersβ in 2016, but severely underestimated Trumpβs popularity. There is absolutely no doubt that they knew βthe old tacticsβ wouldnβt work in 2020 either, so they beefed up the fraud and laid the propaganda framework to cover their behinds. They didnβt even care how obvious the fraud was. Right in tune with Obama narcissism , they think they are untouchable because they βrely on the stupidity of the American votersβ (what I call βgetting Gruberedβ)
I remember watching an interview with the PA Secretary of State after the 2020 election. They asked her when they were going to stop counting votes and she said "When Biden wins". I looked at my husband is disbelief. I can't believe she just said that on live TV.
We went to bed night of the election and Trump was up in PA. For some inexplicable reason they stopped counting for the night. We got up in the morning and Biden was ahead. The fraud was blatantly obvious. It is such a helpless feeling.
Michigan, Georgia, Wisconsin, Arizona, and Nevada all suspended counting at midnight. Trump was ahead in Michigan as well when I went to bed at midnight. Vans full of ballot boxes were deposited at Cobo Hall at 3 am. It was recorded on several videos, but got no traction. It was a nationwide coordinated effort.
Yes! Natural resources are great. Iβve lived in Colorado, where it gets too cold. I lived in Arizona, which is too hot. Now I live in Florida where the politics are good, but we do have those things called hurricanes. π΅βπ« Gonna ride it out here.
Even my Dem friends hate Newscum...and yet he miraculously survived the recall election. Thankfully he is terming out, but I heard rumblings of cackling Kamala taking his place. From Moombeam Jerry Brown to Newscum and then Kamala. Bad, worse and The Worst.
Mostly because the university attracts leftists and itβs the state capitol. Also the inept liberal governor is corrupt and definitely used his power to allow massive fraud.
My woke sister worked for the city of Madison as an advocate for disabled people. She was treated like a queen in that job but found the winters intolerable as she aged. Moved to Albuquerque, just as woke but not as cold.
LMWC, I am afraid you are correct. We will not get "it back". With the peek view of AI, that will be used to destroy our country. I wish, this was not so. I pray, this won't happen. However, too many sheep/ostriches with their head in the sand. The future is bleak looking. Never in my years (which are plenty) did I imagine this could be America.
Godβs Will be done. Pray, fast and repent. Thatβs what is required to perhaps stay the hand of Godβs chastisement. Thatβs been the way it was done in the past see Nineveh.
Together with countless others, I pray for continual filling of the Holy Spirit in my own life, an outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon the Church in our nation, and around the world; for revival of moribund Christianity and an accompanying wave of salvation amongst the unsaved masses, who donβt realize they are standing on the brink of an eternity of separation from the living God.
Is that Godβs will? It most definitely is!
Will it come to pass? I believe it will:
βThe Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.β (2 Peter 3:9)
Will that βmake America great againβ? So many potential answers to that question depend upon the definition of βgreatβ - and the America that met that definitionβ¦ It might restore some of those qualities but, until Jesus Christ is ruling and reigning on this earth, any such gains would have a relatively short shelf-life.
Would a worldwide revival and a massive conversion of the masses undo the evil machinations that are well underway; would it restore basic sanity and the formerly wide-spread understanding of basic good and evil, together with societal support for the good, and protection against (as opposed to endorsement of and direct involvement in) the evil? The answer is the same; it might restore some of those qualities but, until Jesus Christ is ruling and reigning on this earth, any such gains would have a relatively short shelf-life.
Does that mean thereβs no point in praying as we do? Absolutely not!
Letβs take the ocean liner, TITANIC, as representative of the world in general. On her maiden voyage, she had onboard men and women from every class of society, and she epitomized βstate of the artβ technology. When, due to a series of foolish choices her fate was sealed, it was nevertheless a good thing that every effort was made to delay the inevitable, giving more time for those onboard to prepare for what lay before them; to be saved, whether physically, spiritually, or both.
The Bible teaches that God is currently restraining the evil that is flooding the world; dragging it down into the darkness of depravity. That restraint will one day be lifted, and Satan will have his way in the world, largely, but still not totally, unrestrained by God. The world will reach that point, regardless of the disbelief and any actions taken to prevent it by people.
Nevertheless, those who are Christians are each called to ββ¦grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.β (2 Peter 3:18a), and to use the gifts and opportunities we have, as the Holy Spirit directs, to share the truth in love within the circles of our lives. In other words, we are called to do whatever we can to keep the ship afloat as long as possible, that as many as possible might be saved.
βFor I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.β
(Jeremiah 29:11)
β6 And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time. 7 For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way. 8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming. 9 The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, 10 and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, 12 that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
13 But we are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God from the beginning chose you for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth, 14 to which He called you by our gospel, for the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. 15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast and hold the traditions which you were taught, whether by word or our epistle.
16 Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and our God and Father, who has loved us and given us everlasting consolation and good hope by grace, 17 comfort your hearts and establish you in every good word and work.β (2 Thessalonians 2:6-17)
It is always darkest before the dawn - but the dawn always comes, and the darkness is dispelled. These are tough times; difficult times - and they will get worse before they get better. But we are here at this point in history because God chose us to be, and He has desires for and through us that He intends to work out - for our good, the good of mankind, and for His glory. Those who know and believe the Bible, know how this will end - and they can rejoice in that certain knowledge, despite the pain, sufferings, and tragedies that presently characterize our fallen world.
(Revelation 22:12-17)
12 βAnd behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work. 13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last.β
14 Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city. 15 But outside are dogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and whoever loves and practices a lie.
16 βI, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things in the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star.β
17 And the Spirit and the bride say, βCome!β And let him who hears say, βCome!β And let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely.β
(Hebrews 12:12-15a)
βTherefore strengthen the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees, and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be dislocated, but rather be healed.
Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord: looking carefully lest anyone fall short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up cause trouble, and by this many become defiledβ¦β
And finally:
(2 Peter 3:10-18)
β10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up. 11 Therefore, since all these things will be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness, 12 looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be dissolved, being on fire, and the elements will melt with fervent heat? 13 Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells.
14 Therefore, beloved, looking forward to these things, be diligent to be found by Him in peace, without spot and blameless; 15 and consider that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvationβas also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given to him, has written to you, 16 as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which untaught and unstable people twist to their own destruction, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures.
17 You therefore, beloved, since you know this beforehand, beware lest you also fall from your own steadfastness, being led away with the error of the wicked; 18 but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
To Him be the glory both now and forever. Amen.β
Heart this. I bear strong witness with your words and I appreciate the time you took to explain and back up with God's Word. Yes, it will get worse before it gets better and we are being shaken. Separating the good from the evil because there is no in-between. I claim victory in Christ, by His ultimate sacrifice to make our unworthy, worthy. His grace is more than we deserve and I speak holiness to the pollution of our blood. May sanctification take place on a grand scale and may fear disappear. Be the light. Amen.
As for AI, it is just programmed propaganda. Go on ChatGPT and ask about the jab. It will argue with you but you can't make it mad like it would my Brother in Law.
Well then ... 20 years ago puts us close to 911. And 911 was when I took a very close look at that narrative which just did not look right. At the time my wife asked me why I was so 'obsessed' with 911. My answer was this. First 911 was the false predicate for unending military aggression and trillions in national treasure flushed down the toilet, not to mention the rise of the total surveillance terror state. And my second answer was that if 'they' got away with the 911 fraud, 'they' would do it again. And 'they' did with the C19 false predicate. And with all of this, they have tried their damndest to make us into enslaved caged animal.
Ah! Stockman! That explains why this article was so lucid, so well-written.
Here's the thing. The military juggernaut? All paid for on borrowed money. Kiss the USD reserve status bye-bye and the country is a pitiful Woke Insane paper dragon failed state headed for hard times.
I am in Georgia. This video is a great summary and worth the 18 minutes. Thanks Alice. The summary for Georgia - the "investigators" investigated themselves, admit that there was cheating, and the FBI will never investigate without the "winner's" insistence. There is a problem the machines too. It makes ZERO sense to me that any state or country would ever outsource its important function (voting) to third parties who own the source code to the machines. I get that there was cheating at the ballot box and in State Farm Arena (Ruby), but if the machines can change votes, you don't need any of that.
I live in Georgia also. I think the machines are the back-up plan to chest if all the other methods fail. They can basically just flip a switch. Presto! Change-o! They get the selection they are seeking.
There are going to be too many Trump votes in what were formerly non-swing states for Biden "winning" the swing states to be enough to carry the election. Let's hope for a Reaganesque tidal wave that swamps the Democrat vote-harvesting operation.
@Dr Richard Moulton I donβt like being this pessimistic, but it doesnβt really matter how many Trump votes there are. The Democrat, whoever he (or she) is, will get jusssst enough more votes to swing the election. All they need to do is manufacture ballots, which they have gotten very proficient at doing since at least 2020, if not earlier. If you look at any of Valentineβs work at omega4america.com, he illustrates exactly how they manufacture ballots to βwinβ elections. Valentine was instrumental in writing the eBay fraud detection software, as well as other major companies, so heβs very knowledgeable about fraud. The key is that the fake voter registrations have to be challenged prior to the election, not after, because no court will touch the challenges after the election, lest they be accused of election tampering π€¦π»ββοΈ
Exactly why they keep the βpoll numbersβ so close. They can always say well it was only a few points difference and looks like people just couldnβt back Trump and Byedone won.
Excellent and very clear. Thanks, Alice. It makes me go ballistic when libs say that no fraud was ever proven. The laches explanation blows that out of the water. They never allowed those cases to be heard or evidence to be examined.
I think this is the mechanism on how they'll cheat the election, all those illegals we let in can legally vote according to this (can some lawyer PLEASE read and decipher this law), read this, especially last section 3, illegals can vote
"The bill avoids violating the First Amendment by describing the Ten Commandments not in religious terms but in light of the ethical directivesβ undeniable historical significance in Louisiana."
I realize this is going to be very unpopular, but I think 99.99% of people identify the 10 commandments as religious no matter what some wording that is hung with it says. I am still of the opinion that no religion, no matter how popular or good it is regarded, should be the only one presented IF you're going to put religious documents out. Certainly the first commandment tells students they can't worship any other deity. How is a young kid going to know the difference between "we're hanging this for historical purposes" and "you better do this"? There's no doubt that many of the commandments are moral and morals are good, but one can be very moral without religion. Again, I realize this is unpopular, but I still feel separation of church and state is critical.
This concern is valid. And yes, morals can be taught without religion. But the reason our society has morals has its roots in religious precepts. You can learn about religious teachings without being religious. Should we also post the 5 pillars of Islam as well as the Christian and Jewish commandments and treat them as historical guides that reinforce what is being taught (hopefully) at home? I'm not sure. But what I can see is that society has lost its way and reinforcing things like 'don't steal, don't lie, don't cheat, don't kill, honor your mother and father' might not be the most horrible thing we're doing right now in classrooms.
Definitely the Bill of Rights should be prominently displayed & discussed. Also itβs βThou shall not murderβ according to the Hebrew translation. For ex ok to kill in self defense. Makes more sense on our world.
The oldest texts are in Greek. It is not possible to ascertain meanings of old testament words from Hebrew since He brew texts were translated from those Greek.
Nope, didnβt say killing makes sense. Donβt twist my comment. I said we have the ok to kill in self defense. THAT makes sense in our violent, fallen world. You know what else makes sense? Legally owing a firearm & knowing how to use it.
Thank you RH - my response to Lenonora: Nope , didnβt say killing makes sense. Donβt twist my comment. I said we have the ok to kill in self defense. THAT makes sense in our violent, fallen world. You know what else makes sense? Legally owing a firearm & knowing how to use it.
I agree that reinforcing things like don't cheat, steal, etc and respect parents is a good thing. My point is those can be taught without religion being involved at all. I believe in honesty, treating people how I want to be treated, being respectful to others, and find killing (other than self defense) to be terrible and wrong. Religion didn't teach me any of that. I believe those things because it makes sense - humans are still a tribe. If I steal, kill, or cheat my tribe, I harm myself.
As for envy, I don't think that's bad. It's a great motivator to improve one's situation. Example- right now I envy anyone with a functional toilet and shower. I don't have those. So, my envy is driving me to find a new, higher paying job (something I was previously unwilling to do) so I can pay to have those things fixed.
But, I will agree society is way off the rails. I'm not positive religion is the whole answer. It would not be for me.
As a Christian, I agree on the commandments, but I also agree with the people, or understand with the people who believe it shouldnβt be displayed in classrooms. . As a retired teacher, coach, and principal here in Texas for almost 4 decades, I really get tired of people talking about it started by taking Prayer out of school. Ridiculous!!!!Everything starts in the home!!! Schools are NOT the answer for moral foundations. Itβs in the home where morals are laid, by the time they come to school, the cake is almost baked.
Now some employees have an inside track at changing morals and developing character ( this is the reason I dedicated my life to coaching and teaching) because of the amount of time and sweat equity put forth by students, like coaches, band directors, choir directors, FFA teachers. The responsibility of raising children left the home in the 60βs to the gleeful delight of the government and globalists. I encourage ALL to homeschool!!!!!
Yes, to homeschooling, and I couldn't agree more with the fact that morality must be taught at home. What should public schoolteachers do when it isn't?
You have to demonstrate morality by the way you run the class as a whole and treat the students individually. Many come from tough home situations BUT rules are rules and they need to be held accountable like everyone else. If not, they learn how to manipulate their situation instead of being responsible. My dad, WWII veteran of Pacific, had terrible ptsd from chemical and radiation so he medicated with beer. My mom and 6 brothers and sisters had to spend the evenings in our garden until he fell asleep around 2 a m because of fear of him, flashbacks and a hidden 410 shotgun. We never missed school or used our rough situation as an excuse. In fact we never told anyone. It made us grow up soon.
I was taught envy goes deeper than just wanting something others have and thereby potentially being motivated to go for it. Envy is wishing ill to those who have what you want, possibly even hating them for having it. Envy isnβt good.
Envy: The proper word is 'covet' which has different connotations: From etymology online. mid-13c., "to desire or wish for inordinately or without regard for the rights of others." Herein lies a clue as to the problems with the teaching of the world. It will always leave one empty.
Only unpopular in this group. But I agree with you. Morality should be taught in the home. Simply hanging up a sign that little kids won't understand anyway is just grand-standing. It won't improve anyone's character.
No it's not unpopular "only in this group" unless you mean by this group the tens of millions of faithful church-going Christians.
As to morality being taught in the home of course it should. But your Utopian fantasies aside, some sort morality will be taught at school whether you like it or not. There's no such thing as a values-free environment. Telling kids they cannot cheat on tests, steal from each, and to bully small kids is teaching them morality.
So there will be an ethical code taught and enforced, the question is who's ethical code. We took out the Ten Commandments and it has been replaced with sexual promiscuity, gay pride, transgenderism and "saving the planet" all taught as the new morality. The schools are absolutely teaching "morality" but it's the morality of pleasure seeking, hedonism, and sanctimonious virtue-signaling above all else.
Louisiana's is attempting a small step to reverse that. And no it's not just "grandstanding" as you so cavalierly dismiss it, but drawing a line in the stand. It's a statement that there is such as thing as absolute morality, it was once the cornerstone of civilization, and it's still valuable in our society.
Correct. Schools should reinforce what parents want for their kids. So do parents not want their kids to "set the bar high" and learn to do the right thing?
Exactly. Without someone teaching the morals AND the reasons for those morals that the sign is supposed to convey, it's just a piece of paper. I used to each 6 year olds. One hard thing was explaining the science of how rainbows were made (we were studying color), but they got it. Those 6 years olds are not going to understand, nor should they be exposed to, the word "adultery" or any topic like that.
Except that there are kids that think stealing, killing and destroying is not REALLY bad. Especially when you compare yourself to someone worse. And yes, your kids or grandkids go to school with them right now. So it may be brand new news to some. Hey. the State is telling the kids what to think. Guess it is a matter of if you trust the "experts" with your most precious possession. Just a thought.
I have no children or grandchildren. If I did, they would not see a public school if I could help it. Maybe I couldn't and I would have to spend all night deprogramming them.
The last time church and state mixed, two of my ancestors were burned alive. (Another ancestor was a person who condemned women to be burned alive.) I think introducing religion into state run institutions is a poor choice, but I can see why others don't.
Morals should be taught at home. Actually, I'm not sure "taught" is as correct a word as "modeled" is. I remember my grandfather and I going home and he realized he had not paid for something. He turned around, went back and paid. That made a much greater impact on me than a poster would have. As a former environmental educator, I learned quickly that kids copy what the see and hear you do, not what a handout says.
Morality is not Christianity. Morality can be relative and movable depending on your worldview. Hitler thought he was moral. Without an anchor anything can be thought of as moral.
Respectfully, I disagree to an extent. I don't think any anchor needs to be rooted in religion, I think it's more along the lines of common sense. We're still tribal animals, whether we want to admit it or not. If a person harms a member of their tribe, it ultimately means they harm themselves. I think it's the tribal mentality that ultimately drives morals, but that's my opinion.
I agree that morality depends on a person's world view, but I also think even with religion aside, most people would agree that killing another human being for no reason at all is immoral. Torturing a person or an animal is also regarded as highly immoral, yet there's no commandment against it. There's no commandment not to have sexual contact with children or trafficking them, either, but I'd say darn near everyone agrees that is exceptionally immoral. I'm not religious, but yet my morals align with most of Christianity
I'm sure Hitler thought he was moral. I'm sure so do Bill Gates, Fauci, Soros, whatever the name of that idiot running the WEF is, Houcul, Biden, Whitmer, Trudeau, Newsom, and the entire MSM, to name a few. That does not mean they are, because their actions and intentions cause, will cause, or have caused direct and intentional harm to others. Harming someone isn't against a commandment either, but I think most would agree that a leader who harms the people is immoral as hell.
You make a good argument for Jesus' summary of the Ten Commandments: "Love God. Love your neighbor." He didn't say "Love any God you choose, and love only your tribal neighbor." His audience knew the One God referred to, and He gave an example of loving even those not in your "tribe."
Separation: Of course, the concept of the 'separation of church and state' was to protect the church from the state and not the other way around. The phrase isn't in the Constitution but rather an assurance from Thomas Jefferson to the Danbury Baptist Church association of Connecticut that the state would have no influence over religious views.
Also omitted from the Constitution is any power to create and control indoctrination centers for our children. Yet, here we are. We now have the state created religion of 'science' being crammed into our children's minds with threat of imprisonment if we refuse it.
So in this, we agree. The state shouldn't teach any religion. Even if it were to teach the correct religion, it is almost a given that it wouldn't be taught properly. Really, the state shouldn't teach anything at all but should be left to the people.
At one time I fell into the βkeep the church out of the states businessβ camp since I was a product of the public school system , however now that weβve had 44 years of not having them in schools maybe itβs time to give it a try again. We seem to be headed toward a cliff. Letβs start throwing spaghetti on the wall and see if anything sticks. Anything at all.
I agree. People donβt seem to look ahead and wonder how they would feel if with immigration, etc if the country became majority Muslim. Iβm hoping that this wonβt happen, but you never know. I would prefer to see the bill of rights displayed prominently in schools. Perhaps display the 10 Commandments somewhere in a school that chooses to, but not in every classroom?
Jeffβs the attorney here, but as I recall growing up there wasnβt any reference or mention of separation of church & state until the infamous hippie-dippy 60βs.
At our schools we were all given a wooden 12in ruler with The Golden Rule written on it.
In 4th or 5th grade we were given a small New Testament bible.
In high school we had bible reading & prayer over the intercom every morning (during βHomeroomβ).
We werenβt perfect robotic kids but we certainly respected our school personnel from principal to janitors. We respected authority & behaved. Any misbehavior was dealt with appropriately; no parent threatened suing the school.
While schools were financed by local (& I suppose state) taxpayers there werenβt really considered βstateβ entities. That seems to have come when Federal $$$ came & local schools became beholden to βstateβ (federal mandates).
Then came βseparation of church & stateβ to the forefront more & more.
This nation was founded upon religious freedom; a Judeo-Christian belief system.
Today it seems that Islam is given more leeway in educational institutions than Christianity. Ivy League universities as well as many others (Baylor, for instance) was founded by Christians. Slowly that Christian foundation has been stripped away.
Those same learning institutions now tolerate protests & the takeover of buildings & grounds.
Until Kent State I donβt recall any such protests that show such disrespect of such institutions.
Protest - yes. But with dignity & decorum.
I digress but all to say Iβve watched the decline in proper behavior & morals when Christianity & Christian standards were deemed to violate βchurch & state.β
I can go on about Thomas Jeffersonβs letter to the Danbury Baptists, where the only mention of church & state resides in historical documents. He simply answered a question.
You don't understand "separation of church and state" as it is written in the constitution. Evidently you don't have an issue with the Muslim religion being pushed in schools and everywhere else
Line 1 of the 1st Amendment couldnβt be clearer. That wall was built to protect religion from government. There is no wall of separation between religion and the moral code of βnatureβs God.β Weβve switched terms and built walls to protect the state from morality.
Yep. I don't want to live in a theocracy of any kind, which we already do with all this rainbow corporatism and pride holidays of "visibility," but this seems like a complex philosophical question, involving cultural Christianity, coalitional Christianity (Inquisition, Crusades) and devotional Christianity. Magna Carta, though, would also be historical. My niece on the Irish side is descended from one of the thirteen signers who opposed King John and here's the great Neil Oliver on the significance of the Magna Carta for the West:
Neil Oliver β '...they are trying to make us forget what is oursβ¦.β
Christendom IS the West, I guess, so if we have to choose between Genderbread Men pride displays, the tenets of Sharia Law (subjugation of women, infidel hating, bowing to Mecca five times a day), or a bunch of crypto-Masonic occultism from the UN and WHO, worshipping some Euclidean theorem (so freaking pretentious), I"d take the Ten Commandments, but I concur, Magna Carta everywhere!
While I don't object to the 10 Commandments being posted, I think this is a deeply unserious attempt to change culture. I dislike virtue signaling. And everything from bumper stickers to yard signs to Ukraine flag emoji's on your twitter account, I find it all very pointless. Virtue signal if you want. Hanging the 10 commandments is in the same way virtue signaling unless you are willing to act.
The point isn't what you post in the classroom, its what you teach. Its the behavior you insist on, its the consequences you mete out when the standards are broken. Its building a truly meritocratic system of educating children. Loose the grade inflation. Loose the "participation trophies" that have softened our children and prevented the benefits of competition.
Children are also more likely to pay attention to their parents', teachers', and leaders' behaviors than to follow words on a sign. If teachers don't walk their talk, children won't learn good behavior and attitude no matter how much it is drilled into them.
If the picture here is what they passed that's not the ten commandments I memorized as a kid is Sunday school. They removed the second and split the tenth into two commandments.
Catholics and Protestants interpret the numbering of the Ten Commandments differently. Not really based on theology, but tradition. IIRC that's the Catholic numbering which makes sense based on Louisiana's roots.
They are both the 10 commandments. One is from Leviticus, the other is from Exodus. The Bible doesnβt contradict itself, so go with both instead of divisions.
The Spring 2024 American Spectator includes an excellent article about how our Founders based the declaration and Constitution on βNatural Religionββie a single Creator and other general principles. They were just trying to avoid endorsing certain sects or churchesβand there were a large variety at that time.
Makes sense. They desperately needed all 13 colonies on board, and they didnβt want Church of England authoritarianism. It seems a bit of a coup and a shot across slaveryβs bow to include, βall men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.β Slave holders apparently dodged that cannonball by convincing themselves that slaves were subhuman, an idea taken to extreme in New Spain.
I don't think the 1st amendment bans the government for supporting religion, it just can't enforce a particular religion on the citizens like in England where they only had the church of England and that is why the Protestants left. Protest=ants. They wanted to believe their own way.
It's a one-way street in favor of citizensβ right to worship without persecution, right? It seems clear from the make-up of the founders that Christianity was broadly assumed although not mandated. Surely, the 1st Amendment means Commandments 1-3 can never be law, but all ten were the moral code. 5 and 10 were attributes of citizens considered of βgood character.β 4 and 7 were statutory into our lifetimes. 6, 8, and 9 are still statutory with legal consequence everywhere except Soros DA jurisdictions. But what an interesting and timely issue!
...except that, Louisiana isn't using "Freedom of Religion" as their platform. There is no historical reason to post Satanic ANYTHING in public schools as it has no historical presence in the founding of America.
That's a pretty bold claim, care to back it up? From all I know of history the vast bulk of the European settlers who founded the modern US were Christian, which suggests that the ten commandments had "historical presence" since that time.
The whole world is a stage- it is getting spicy and it will be getting spicier. I pray for everyone in the entire world. Everyone should be able to be shown that Jesus is our Lord and Savior
Still crazy how there are people out there who think this trial somehow show's Trump's "guilt" beyond any reasonable doubt and that this time they'll get him. Sadly, the verdict likely will be "guilty" and then this goes to the appeals court to be overturned. I wish the people cheering on this tactic of lawfare would realize how easily this would be turned on _anyone_ they don't like.
In semi-related news - anyone else noticing their Twitter feed is now much more visibly anti-Trump than it was a couple of months ago?
This is exactly what Twitter does and they even literally told us it is how they are going to police speech, yet many here hail Musk as the savior of free speech. What a joke.
I am able to follow and read many dissident voices of doctors and scientists on X that I cannot on other social media such as Facebook, YouTube, etc. I do appreciate Rumble and Odyssey. X is much better since Elon took over, but admittedly, I think the advertisers have an impact on how many times these dissident posts are shared. There are also βsex botsβ that βlikeβ someoneβs post, and get the post taken down, even though it is not the posterβs fault.
Let's be honest: it's a whole lot freer speech. We're having discussions now - and making progress now - that simply would not have happened a year or two ago.
The vaccine injuries issue has exploded into society almost entirely b/c of changing Twitter to X.
And of course, "free speech" laws only apply to the gov't (something I keep reminding the commies of when they yell about private universities cracking down on staged/paid "protests"). That whole thing (gov't censorship at X) at least *seems* to have ended. I'm still convinced Musk is backed or egged on by someone in a deep state or connected role, but it's working out well for humanity at this point. Maybe there really are "white hats," or at least grey hats?
X blocked links to Substack b/c Musk felt Substack tried to roll out its own version of X. Substack says it was a different app altogether. It's a petty move by Musk, but well within the usual eccentric billionaire template. Other issues are generally technical issues b/c the thing still loses money and they can't afford to fix it. Sort of like all the tech issues here at Substack (like, right in the middle of typing this reply, the screen refreshes and throws this entire chain to a different point on the screen, or the inability to "like" things sometimes, etc.).
But, to be fair w/o Substack and now X none of us would have a voice or any way to connect and push our ideas into the public sphere. As with all of these positive developments, I am hopeful but skeptical. And under no illusions that there aren't ulterior motives of some sort.
I agree that there appears to be a considerable faction behind Musk. Nothing big like Trump, Musk happens all by its little self.
I also am under no illusions, and I am more than skeptical. And the loosing of speech control is only incidentally for our benefit, and only to the degree which is necessary to maintain control by those who currently seeking to restore control and direction.
Most people, and even a lot of lawyers, have no appreciation of how the people were transported out of Liberty by the gradual usurpation of the old American Law System and into the travesty to which we are now witness. For the moment I shall merely point out that nothing like 'the rules based order' could exist in old American Law Order ... not by custom and habit.
Any loosening may be beneficial and useful to our cause. But nonetheless the tyranny is simply shedding mail and armor in favor of the velvet glove. Liberty in any authentic sense has been long ago eclipsed.
After the last 3-1/2 years, it's really hard to not be cynical. Some of the emerging anti-vax and pro-Trump hints in MSM make me wonder if the ship is turning in a newly nefarious direction.
It is hard. But, IDK. I figure power is complicated. Every time someone grabs power, someone else looks to take it away. Even within the cabal that sits atop the power structure, there is going to be infighting and disagreements. And they're losing their megaphone; no one is believes the MSM anymore. Twitter is dead for them. It feels like they are in disarray right now, grasping for anything to control the narrative.
I don't think I'd call anything I've seen in MSM "pro" Trump or particularly anti-vaccine. More like CYA and limited hangouts designed to placate growing anger with both situations (the covid scam and the targeted persecution of a political candidate), and especially to give their supporters talking points to use against the backlash. That's the sole purpose of MSM these days: provide talking points and non-verbal cues to their 12 regular viewers as to how to "combat" "the other side." (And we pay for that! Yay!)
But, it also feels to me like some of them are coming to terms with Trump winning being inevitable. Given the size of his lead over "Biden," they know they don't have enough fake votes to cheat out a win this time. And are starting to form a new narrative where they control the message about him and try to control him (again). I just hope he's learned some lessons since his first go-round. IMO, he underestimated their duplicity.
As far as the "vaccines" go, when 30%+ report knowing someone who has been injured, and virtually no one knows anyone who actually died FROM the supposed virus the "vaccine" was for, I just don't think they have a choice but to walk it back. My guess is they will throw Birx and Collins and maybe Fauci under the bus. People will resign and move to some tropical private island. Then, they'll pretend like they didn't do it, employers did it all on their own.
Open the lawsuits against employers. That is probably what this narrative shift is signaling.
Youβre more precise about nothing overtly pro-Trump or anti-vax in the MSM. I prefer your angle on hedging bets against the looming vax-injury suits and likely setbacks on the Trump lawfare, at least on appeals. Theyβll never admit they were wrong about either in our lifetimes, but theyβll try to keep straight faces and pretend they still have a shred of the credibility they lost a long time ago. Itβs like watching cartoons with none of the inside jokes.
I recently started watching The Good Fight (spin off of The Good Wife). The character Diane suffers from severe TDS and it is laughable, until they start messing with the voting machine software, which is a little too close to home. It is based in Chicago, so.
They're framing it in terms of historical importance rather than as a strictly religious text. In that regard, it would be difficult for satanic group to argue anything similar. There simply isn't any non-Christian text or symbol that can claim the same historical importance.
Youre wrong. The fact is the colonists learned the ethics and workings of democracy not from the Bible but from the Native American people who lived on the East Coast, the 5 Million strong Iroquois Nation which met at huge tribal conclaves to propose and vote on laws which were then taken back to the local tribes where they were given a second and final vote by EVERY MEMBER, including the Women, of the tribe. Unlike the Bible which taught the inferiority of women and their subservience to men, the women were considered equals. There is NOTHING in the Bible which promotes democracy and indeed the Catholic Church, Orthodox Judaism and many Christian sects STILL teach the inequality of the sexes and subservience to a King as though it all came from the Creator, rather than the previous much older middle eastern Zoroastrian religious belief in a βMale Supreme Deityβ.
I never said American democracy was based on the ten commandments. So...
But since you brought it up, the colonists did not learn "ethics" from the Iroquois. Nor democracy. They certainly did formulate moral opinions based on the teachings from the Bible. Point of fact, the Bible teaches that we are all equal. The "inequality" you talk about is your own misunderstanding of what the Bible says.
+ as Jason said above, Satanism has no claim to historical relevance for the US. Nor does any other world religion. They're all historically irrelevant to the US. It will be interesting to see if this holds up. Regardless, it's a good move to push the Overton window to the right.
Bc crazy satanic commandments are not historically used in the country for 250+ years.
The 10C are historical context, not religious instruction. Itβs how one makes sense of what the early Americans did and said. Without understanding why/context, it doesnβt.
Agreed. Even if you disregard the religious aspects, if society follows thecommandments, it is peaceful and prosperous. Dontnfollow it? Society cannot rain civil.
I know what we've seen over the last 3 years is labeled Biden's failure, but I see it as the puppet masters' failures, Obama, Soros, Clinton, Pelosi, Schumer, Rice, Military leaders, Dept. leaders, et al. These are their failures. Biden is just the meat suit in front of the cameras.
Have they really failed if someoneβs intention was to depopulate us? Lower the birth rate? Increase censorship on social media? Enrich the pharmaceutical industrial complex and the military industrial complex, the techno bio security state? I know we try to be positive on here, but we have a lot more standing up to do.
Why do we conservatives not stand up to the border sit, Zelensky, censorship? Cuz election rigged and we don't vote in STRONG Conservatives with a backbone.
With the Ten Commandments law and the prohibition of the WHO, Louisiana is looking more and more like a viable destination for those fleeing the tyrannical left coast. Encouraging development!
It was okay because he criticized the regime. And he didnβt play basketball. Someone posted a video recently where Gonzalo told a story of a βmeet upβ and a fed showed up. He was laughing and happy as he told the story. I contrast that with his last video where heβs going to try to cross a border because he knows if he goes back into custody theyβll kill him. He was a very brave man. It makes me sad how anyone who goes against the regime just get picked off and we wring our hands. We get small victories but weβre still heading down the wrong road.
That should be a good tell. AI and trolls seem especially hot on the threads today. New names, same old contrarian lunacy. I think I shut down a troll once with Scripture. I'll have to try that again. I hear "Get thee behind me, Satan" works really well : )

Itβs a little weird, Iβve noticed that the like feature works on some comments but not others.
Yeah very glitchy. Itβs not the first time I have had issues with that though.
Same here.
That exact process (that you described Running Logic) worked for me a couple of days in a row, however NOTHING will register at all for the past 3 days.
I was able to like the post now so perhaps itβs been fixed.
Well, not for me; I just tried to like YOUR post and it didnβt register. π’
Iβve had trouble too, but today seems to be working. π€
Please do not take offense at this suggestion. Have you tried rebooting? Sometimes it does all sorts of wonders for me. (And sometimes not. π’)
I have been having trouble for the last 4 days.
Does anyone know why only some of us are having difficulty?
Solar flares and racism.
Guess Rep. Jasmine "hootchie mama" Crockett put a spell on us.
phone updates... Everything quits working after a phone update.
I'm using a laptop.
Don't have a smartphone...just a landline and a flip phone (dumb phone).
It's also not just this stack. Some are glitchier than others.
Correct. I am having trouble with the substack from Dr. Paul Alexander and Sage Hana among others.
Ditto.
Same here...unable to "like" for at least 4 days now.
Kathleen-I haven't been able to "like" anything for 6 days. I $ support many contributors on Substack. Frustrating that I cannot like any comments.
Agree. Going into my 5th day of being unable to "like" any comments.
On both paid subscriptions and unpaid subscriptions to Substack.
Used 2 different laptops with 2 different internet providers...still no luck.
Try turning your phone off and back on. (Mine does odd things if I forget to off/on periodically.)
Iβve done that several times. No dice.
Oh no! Iβm sorry, and I hope itβs fixed soon.

https://slaynews.com/news/renowned-scientist-all-covid-vaxxed-will-die-3-5-years/
Wonder if anyone can fend off with taking things like nanokinnase and Nac.
I'm using Nattokinase, Bromelain & NAC for long covid, (no vax,) & it helps. Ditto nicotine.
Also recently stated taking sea salt & that helps even more. Experimenting a bit but there's a lot of old information on the benefits of natural salt. Go figure. Think it may be another place where we have all been seriously misled...
For the vaxxed it's different, though. Zev Zelenko told them to keep inflammation low, very, very low, and perhaps use Ivermectin, or Nicotine like Brian Ardis says, to deal with the Spike.
Misfolded protiens are another issue along with immune system disregulation.
Find a good practioner working on healing the modRNA vax injured, they are out there.
Kevin McKernan & Kevin McCairn, both PhDs, both on X are doing research to find solutions. You might hear about them there early on.
Blessings & Good Luck!
what form do you get nicotine in?
Who would know if Nicorette spray has been adulterated? π€·ββοΈ
Ardis has said chew the gum up to 10 min:
Chew 2mg or smaller nicotine gum 10 min several times/day.
Helps release toxins / poisons tied to nicotine receptors
Can cause diarrhea, dizzy queasy, vomiting if a lot of toxins to rid body of the toxins.
Thank you!
thank you!!
Nicotine: Many years ago William Cambell Douglas II, MD wrote a book called "The Health Benefits of Tabacco" in which he outlined the benefits of nicotine. Therein he recommends Tobacco wrapped cigars or pipe smoking because it doesn't involve inhalation. For an up-to-date rundown on the various alternatives see: https://daveasprey.com/is-nicotine-the-next-big-smart-drug/#What%20Is%20Nicotine?
Also of note from the book and tied in with an earlier post on C&C: "Another culprit [of heart disease] that has been ignored is FLOURIDE, which is probably even more of a risk than homocysteine (folic acid, B12, and B6 deficiency).
Our doctor uses patches⦠And a nurse I just talk to recently said the same⦠Just small patches
I should say our naturopathic doctor
Good question
I'm using NicTacs, like mints, or Nicotine toothpicks. Get them at a local Health Food Store.
Others are using nicotine patches, but some are better than others, I hear.
how about the gum?
"I'm using Nattokinase,"
Doc friend said to take on an empty stomach as the enzyme activity will focus on LNP/Spike, OR ON FOOD being digested if one ate recently.
Maybe take at end of day or first thing in AM before eating.
Yes. Take these enzymes on empty stomach.
Nattokinase or Serrapeptase, or Wobenzym.
Many are VERY beneficial!
Thank you. Iβm not jabbed but I have some family members who are.
What symptoms of long covid is this remedy helping you with Katherine?
General exhaustion, systemic inflammation, brain fog. Those have been the lasting impact of SARS-COV-2 for me, plus some high blood pressure.
My thinking cleared up & my energy levels improved once I got on Natto, Bromelain & NAC. The Nicotine also helps but I'm not very consistent with it. My blood pressure is still a little high, but I blame the Sociopaths running the world right now for a fair amount of it, lol!
I swear my BP soars with the world scene right now. But about long covid, My husband has brain fog, memory loss, serious tiredness and inflammation. I will be sure he takes those. He takes Fenbendazole, ivermectin, Quercetin but nothing helps. He did the Purification Rundowwn detox which is sauna, Niacin etc. That helped.
Nattokinase... yes, well worth taking if jabbed... I also like Modified citrus pectin... and perhaps best... Chlorine Dioxide Solution (CDS)
https://www.brighteon.com/98239852-67cd-4675-89a2-4d1979c8e42d
Don't mention this to any liberal!
LOVE CDS
It is the REAL deal, IMO... it can help with long covid, AKA jab injuries too!
ππ»
Thatβs a scary thought for those who complied with getting jabbed. Unfortunately many just followed their doctorβs advice.
Or forced with threat of termination and given 5 days notice. In 2021. I literally begged Hubs to quit that effing company, but, as former Navy, shots were pretty normal. We tried to get a medical exemption due to his dad's demise of a brain disease, but no. His company denied it, even denied his doctors note to them. He had ONE shot, but they required the 2 and a booster. Eff them. They got one shot and he said he felt like he was in a concentration camp when they waved him through the shot shack on the pier. He is an electrical engineer on a fishing boat, highly skilled. I swear upon all that is holy that if anything happens to this man, I will OWN that company.
I pray nothing happens to him, but if it does, I pray they'll obey their new owner.
He is just fine. But I appreciate the prayers and for all the world to get retribution. I can't heart your comment but I β₯.
Thank-You! I had that problem a few days last week. Hopefully, it'll clear up for you!
Similar boat here SadieJay. Have tou had any shedding issues?
Not from him. Because it was saline, pretty sure. He was injected in Seattle. But, I would not let him touch me for a while afterwards and he was really mad. Don't care. But, we are part time in Florida and when I am around a lot of jabbed, many Canadians, it makes me ill. Headaches, brain fog and weird other symptoms, like tingling. Was really bad in 2021 thru 2023. I would try to stay away from large gatherings.
Thank you for responding Sadie. I'm sorry I just saw this today. I appreciate you sharing. My husband got a hot lot of J/J and is fine. My son and I though, have had a LOT of shedding issues from him though just due to the initial exposure. Trying to navigate next steps. Thanks for the info. Best of luck.
I couldnβt agree more with you Julie. Makes you wonder too if it includes those who took just 1-2 shots.
As an aside, another friend lost their parent recently.

He was my initial initiation into the world of this evil. I take his word as solid and he was not wrong. I do pray there were saline shots out there.
I too hope it is not as devastation as he and other say it will be... especially since it is the western nations that will suffer huge population decreases, if the Deagle forecasts are correct... and IF that happens... our county may be in real trouble... in terms of being taken over... sounds crazy... but...

Sure glad we trusted you like you told us we could.
Dr. Cahill has been warning us from the very beginning.
I, personally, have never been opposed to religious beliefs being posted and even taught in schools, provided EVERY valid religion be included in the curriculum/agenda. The Bible is but ONE of the many holy books out there, many of which predate the Bible and New Testament by thousands of years. All of them teach ethical standards, respect for life and Nature, the concept of the presence of a Higher Being and show the students that human cultures from all over the World since time immemorial have valued reverence, love, kindness, obedience to Spiritual Laws, charity and respect for All.
I tried searching for her... I think she dropped out of sight... have you seen anything from her recently?
I hope she is OK... Big Pharma can be ruthless, as you well know...
Well, she does live in the totalitarian country called Ireland.
The country that descended in all kind of hate speech laws with that crazy guy in charge who stated that "Irish Lives Matter" was hate speech.
There is a new guy in charge now.
But, she was probably banished and vilified and threatened just like all the other truth tellers out there.
Ah... I didn't know that she was from Ireland... yes, that country, like so many others... went full FUBAR... the Irish citizens seem primed for a revolution... as should happen in Australia, England, Germany, etc... unless they see big change
Import low-IQ violent islamoturd animals (parasites)... reap the whirlwind... it is coming soon to America.
When crazy Leo was in charge, I kept sending him tweets stating "Irish Lives Matter."
Probably one of the reasons why I was kicked off of X.
Along with insulting Zelensky every day.
She did an interview not too long ago with Doc Malik

Election and politics everywhere! Covid was dropped so an election could be stolen. We know the basement resident didnβt win in 2020, we have eye witness accounts of thousands of election tampering deceit and a blind eye was turned. Republicans in every swing state turned away from obvious felonious actions and said, βmove alongβ, weβll get it back in 2024. Will any of us be surprised when it doesnβt happen. We have become a Nation of political theater sponsored by the bureaucratic state, while most Americans struggle.
Pennsylvania cheated.
Pennsylvania cheated in 2008 & 2012, using buses & paying βout of townersβ with fake IDβs, that they transported from one polling place to the next. I heard, detailed, eyewitness accounts from a former State Police officer that said they were forbidden to talk about what they saw. And of course there was the intimidation from the Black Panthers in Philly, that were never prosecuted. They used the same bus loads of βvotersβ in 2016, but severely underestimated Trumpβs popularity. There is absolutely no doubt that they knew βthe old tacticsβ wouldnβt work in 2020 either, so they beefed up the fraud and laid the propaganda framework to cover their behinds. They didnβt even care how obvious the fraud was. Right in tune with Obama narcissism , they think they are untouchable because they βrely on the stupidity of the American votersβ (what I call βgetting Gruberedβ)
Too bad the police didnβt have the cojones to disregard that order π
Right???!!!
Arizona cheated bigly too... '20 and '22 were a damned disgrace.
Thanks for the details.
it's all to "protect Obama" now & forever.
I remember watching an interview with the PA Secretary of State after the 2020 election. They asked her when they were going to stop counting votes and she said "When Biden wins". I looked at my husband is disbelief. I can't believe she just said that on live TV.
We are officially a Banana Republic.
In banana republics... the corrupt leaders often get shot down like the mangy dogs they all are... so think positively!! π
Kind of like Tony Soprano's "waste management."
π
We went to bed night of the election and Trump was up in PA. For some inexplicable reason they stopped counting for the night. We got up in the morning and Biden was ahead. The fraud was blatantly obvious. It is such a helpless feeling.
Michigan, Georgia, Wisconsin, Arizona, and Nevada all suspended counting at midnight. Trump was ahead in Michigan as well when I went to bed at midnight. Vans full of ballot boxes were deposited at Cobo Hall at 3 am. It was recorded on several videos, but got no traction. It was a nationwide coordinated effort.
Simply incredible. How is this possible? I just donβt understand.
Yes it is.
California cheated...including Gruesome Newsom's Recall election. And will continue to cheat. Gotta keep the Pelosi crime family in business.
Sad...parts of California are so nice.
Agree! I used to live in SoCal. One of the most beautiful places I've ever lived. But had to leave. Couldn't stand the politics - and high prices.
Ditto... raised in Northridge and graduated San Diego State... beautiful back then... an un-flushed toilet now...
Great weather compared to the rest of the US.
Yes! Natural resources are great. Iβve lived in Colorado, where it gets too cold. I lived in Arizona, which is too hot. Now I live in Florida where the politics are good, but we do have those things called hurricanes. π΅βπ« Gonna ride it out here.
I live in Santa Maria (at the very N end of Santa Barbara County) on what we all call the βCentral Coastβ. The weather is PERFECT hereβit makes it hard to look for a place outside Kalifornistanβ¦out yonder, itβs too hot in the summer, too cold in the winter, thereβs humidity/tornadoes/hurricanes out thereβ¦or too many people! π©π©π©
But itβs boring. The same weather most of the year. Weβre loving being back in four seasons.
Yep, I grew up in Southern California. My favorite place in the state is Central California coast. Such a wonderful feeling it gives.
Sad that most people had to leave because of insane politics and costs.
Yes, back in those days it really was the Golden State. And we even had Ronald Reagan for governor.
It's sad they left for other reasons, too. They're turning Texas blue.
So true. I knew so many people who wanted him recalled. BUT Iβve never seem proof of it. Just suspected

Because 2+2 can equal 5 now, or you are racist.
Because minorities don't have access to textbooks.
That's not the problem with the fuzzy math. You can teach a subject without a textbook. NOBODY has textbooks at my school for ANY subject.
That's the sad truth.
Fuzzy math.
in total view of everyone.
PA will try to cheat again 2024...you can bank on it.
A trucker swore out an affidavit that he delivered a truckload of ballots across state lines from NY to Lancaster, PA. Nothing was ever investigated.
I should have written the former governor was too busy killing old people by sending covid positive patients back to the nursing home.
Crooked governor, secretary of state, and Attorney General.
Same here and we have all three for another two and a half years!
Wisconsin cheated too. Totally corrupt in Madison
I always heard that was a really woke city.
Mostly because the university attracts leftists and itβs the state capitol. Also the inept liberal governor is corrupt and definitely used his power to allow massive fraud.
My woke sister worked for the city of Madison as an advocate for disabled people. She was treated like a queen in that job but found the winters intolerable as she aged. Moved to Albuquerque, just as woke but not as cold.
Was she able to get the sidewalks and government buildings handicap accessible?
Not likely.
Michigan cheated.
It might be accurate to say that all the states cheated.
LMWC, I am afraid you are correct. We will not get "it back". With the peek view of AI, that will be used to destroy our country. I wish, this was not so. I pray, this won't happen. However, too many sheep/ostriches with their head in the sand. The future is bleak looking. Never in my years (which are plenty) did I imagine this could be America.
Our only hope is God intervening.
Godβs Will be done. Pray, fast and repent. Thatβs what is required to perhaps stay the hand of Godβs chastisement. Thatβs been the way it was done in the past see Nineveh.
Pray, fast, repent, and prepare.
Amen Kim, but what would that entail?
Together with countless others, I pray for continual filling of the Holy Spirit in my own life, an outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon the Church in our nation, and around the world; for revival of moribund Christianity and an accompanying wave of salvation amongst the unsaved masses, who donβt realize they are standing on the brink of an eternity of separation from the living God.
Is that Godβs will? It most definitely is!
Will it come to pass? I believe it will:
βThe Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.β (2 Peter 3:9)
Will that βmake America great againβ? So many potential answers to that question depend upon the definition of βgreatβ - and the America that met that definitionβ¦ It might restore some of those qualities but, until Jesus Christ is ruling and reigning on this earth, any such gains would have a relatively short shelf-life.
Would a worldwide revival and a massive conversion of the masses undo the evil machinations that are well underway; would it restore basic sanity and the formerly wide-spread understanding of basic good and evil, together with societal support for the good, and protection against (as opposed to endorsement of and direct involvement in) the evil? The answer is the same; it might restore some of those qualities but, until Jesus Christ is ruling and reigning on this earth, any such gains would have a relatively short shelf-life.
Does that mean thereβs no point in praying as we do? Absolutely not!
Letβs take the ocean liner, TITANIC, as representative of the world in general. On her maiden voyage, she had onboard men and women from every class of society, and she epitomized βstate of the artβ technology. When, due to a series of foolish choices her fate was sealed, it was nevertheless a good thing that every effort was made to delay the inevitable, giving more time for those onboard to prepare for what lay before them; to be saved, whether physically, spiritually, or both.
The Bible teaches that God is currently restraining the evil that is flooding the world; dragging it down into the darkness of depravity. That restraint will one day be lifted, and Satan will have his way in the world, largely, but still not totally, unrestrained by God. The world will reach that point, regardless of the disbelief and any actions taken to prevent it by people.
Nevertheless, those who are Christians are each called to ββ¦grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.β (2 Peter 3:18a), and to use the gifts and opportunities we have, as the Holy Spirit directs, to share the truth in love within the circles of our lives. In other words, we are called to do whatever we can to keep the ship afloat as long as possible, that as many as possible might be saved.
βFor I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.β
(Jeremiah 29:11)
β6 And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time. 7 For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way. 8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming. 9 The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, 10 and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, 12 that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
13 But we are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God from the beginning chose you for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth, 14 to which He called you by our gospel, for the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. 15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast and hold the traditions which you were taught, whether by word or our epistle.
16 Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and our God and Father, who has loved us and given us everlasting consolation and good hope by grace, 17 comfort your hearts and establish you in every good word and work.β (2 Thessalonians 2:6-17)
It is always darkest before the dawn - but the dawn always comes, and the darkness is dispelled. These are tough times; difficult times - and they will get worse before they get better. But we are here at this point in history because God chose us to be, and He has desires for and through us that He intends to work out - for our good, the good of mankind, and for His glory. Those who know and believe the Bible, know how this will end - and they can rejoice in that certain knowledge, despite the pain, sufferings, and tragedies that presently characterize our fallen world.
(Revelation 22:12-17)
12 βAnd behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work. 13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last.β
14 Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city. 15 But outside are dogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and whoever loves and practices a lie.
16 βI, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things in the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star.β
17 And the Spirit and the bride say, βCome!β And let him who hears say, βCome!β And let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely.β
(Hebrews 12:12-15a)
βTherefore strengthen the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees, and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be dislocated, but rather be healed.
Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord: looking carefully lest anyone fall short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up cause trouble, and by this many become defiledβ¦β
And finally:
(2 Peter 3:10-18)
β10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up. 11 Therefore, since all these things will be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness, 12 looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be dissolved, being on fire, and the elements will melt with fervent heat? 13 Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells.
14 Therefore, beloved, looking forward to these things, be diligent to be found by Him in peace, without spot and blameless; 15 and consider that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvationβas also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given to him, has written to you, 16 as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which untaught and unstable people twist to their own destruction, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures.
17 You therefore, beloved, since you know this beforehand, beware lest you also fall from your own steadfastness, being led away with the error of the wicked; 18 but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
To Him be the glory both now and forever. Amen.β
Heart this. I bear strong witness with your words and I appreciate the time you took to explain and back up with God's Word. Yes, it will get worse before it gets better and we are being shaken. Separating the good from the evil because there is no in-between. I claim victory in Christ, by His ultimate sacrifice to make our unworthy, worthy. His grace is more than we deserve and I speak holiness to the pollution of our blood. May sanctification take place on a grand scale and may fear disappear. Be the light. Amen.
Amen!
Thank you Mike, the words of God are comforting. For reminding me of what the Holy Bible says.
Amen
He has always been our only and best hope for everything.

Reminds of when Glenn Beck told us that we would not recognize our country in the coming decade. That was ca. 2007-2008, if memory serves.
As for AI, it is just programmed propaganda. Go on ChatGPT and ask about the jab. It will argue with you but you can't make it mad like it would my Brother in Law.
I knew something was wrong in the 1970 while living in NYC. It was the demographic shifts and the general anything goes climate.
I remember my mother telling me 20 years ago, she didn't like the direction of the country. :-(
Well then ... 20 years ago puts us close to 911. And 911 was when I took a very close look at that narrative which just did not look right. At the time my wife asked me why I was so 'obsessed' with 911. My answer was this. First 911 was the false predicate for unending military aggression and trillions in national treasure flushed down the toilet, not to mention the rise of the total surveillance terror state. And my second answer was that if 'they' got away with the 911 fraud, 'they' would do it again. And 'they' did with the C19 false predicate. And with all of this, they have tried their damndest to make us into enslaved caged animal.
Your mom was pretty smart.

Wow. He really sums it up. And we have a squatter in our Oval Office.
Ah! Stockman! That explains why this article was so lucid, so well-written.
Here's the thing. The military juggernaut? All paid for on borrowed money. Kiss the USD reserve status bye-bye and the country is a pitiful Woke Insane paper dragon failed state headed for hard times.
From the Lew Rockwell link, this statement seems laughable when you consider O'Biden's Open Border policy! Our GDP not withstanding.
"That is to say, the United States is essentially invulnerable to conventional military invasion and occupation."
She was a very wise woman.
Looking backwards, good family is a huge blessing for children to grow up in.
My mother told me 10 years ago that she (in her 80's) had never been more frightened of her government. She'd be freaked today!

Good video about the election fraud in the 2020 election found in the swing states.
https://youtu.be/9bLKU57bQGk?si=6PbYzbmKa_WyfMTI
I am in Georgia. This video is a great summary and worth the 18 minutes. Thanks Alice. The summary for Georgia - the "investigators" investigated themselves, admit that there was cheating, and the FBI will never investigate without the "winner's" insistence. There is a problem the machines too. It makes ZERO sense to me that any state or country would ever outsource its important function (voting) to third parties who own the source code to the machines. I get that there was cheating at the ballot box and in State Farm Arena (Ruby), but if the machines can change votes, you don't need any of that.
I live in Georgia also. I think the machines are the back-up plan to chest if all the other methods fail. They can basically just flip a switch. Presto! Change-o! They get the selection they are seeking.
There are going to be too many Trump votes in what were formerly non-swing states for Biden "winning" the swing states to be enough to carry the election. Let's hope for a Reaganesque tidal wave that swamps the Democrat vote-harvesting operation.
They don't need votes at all. They just need printers and they have them.
@Dr Richard Moulton I donβt like being this pessimistic, but it doesnβt really matter how many Trump votes there are. The Democrat, whoever he (or she) is, will get jusssst enough more votes to swing the election. All they need to do is manufacture ballots, which they have gotten very proficient at doing since at least 2020, if not earlier. If you look at any of Valentineβs work at omega4america.com, he illustrates exactly how they manufacture ballots to βwinβ elections. Valentine was instrumental in writing the eBay fraud detection software, as well as other major companies, so heβs very knowledgeable about fraud. The key is that the fake voter registrations have to be challenged prior to the election, not after, because no court will touch the challenges after the election, lest they be accused of election tampering π€¦π»ββοΈ
Exactly why they keep the βpoll numbersβ so close. They can always say well it was only a few points difference and looks like people just couldnβt back Trump and Byedone won.

"The bill avoids violating the First Amendment by describing the Ten Commandments not in religious terms but in light of the ethical directivesβ undeniable historical significance in Louisiana."
Louisiana for the Win!
I realize this is going to be very unpopular, but I think 99.99% of people identify the 10 commandments as religious no matter what some wording that is hung with it says. I am still of the opinion that no religion, no matter how popular or good it is regarded, should be the only one presented IF you're going to put religious documents out. Certainly the first commandment tells students they can't worship any other deity. How is a young kid going to know the difference between "we're hanging this for historical purposes" and "you better do this"? There's no doubt that many of the commandments are moral and morals are good, but one can be very moral without religion. Again, I realize this is unpopular, but I still feel separation of church and state is critical.
This concern is valid. And yes, morals can be taught without religion. But the reason our society has morals has its roots in religious precepts. You can learn about religious teachings without being religious. Should we also post the 5 pillars of Islam as well as the Christian and Jewish commandments and treat them as historical guides that reinforce what is being taught (hopefully) at home? I'm not sure. But what I can see is that society has lost its way and reinforcing things like 'don't steal, don't lie, don't cheat, don't kill, honor your mother and father' might not be the most horrible thing we're doing right now in classrooms.
Definitely the Bill of Rights should be prominently displayed & discussed. Also itβs βThou shall not murderβ according to the Hebrew translation. For ex ok to kill in self defense. Makes more sense on our world.
The oldest texts are in Greek. It is not possible to ascertain meanings of old testament words from Hebrew since He brew texts were translated from those Greek.
Oh yeah, killing makes perfect sense in our world - keeps the wars going and the arms corporations in business.
Nope, didnβt say killing makes sense. Donβt twist my comment. I said we have the ok to kill in self defense. THAT makes sense in our violent, fallen world. You know what else makes sense? Legally owing a firearm & knowing how to use it.
Unless you believe no one is entitled to self-defense, you misread Dena's comment.
Thank you RH - my response to Lenonora: Nope , didnβt say killing makes sense. Donβt twist my comment. I said we have the ok to kill in self defense. THAT makes sense in our violent, fallen world. You know what else makes sense? Legally owing a firearm & knowing how to use it.
I agree that reinforcing things like don't cheat, steal, etc and respect parents is a good thing. My point is those can be taught without religion being involved at all. I believe in honesty, treating people how I want to be treated, being respectful to others, and find killing (other than self defense) to be terrible and wrong. Religion didn't teach me any of that. I believe those things because it makes sense - humans are still a tribe. If I steal, kill, or cheat my tribe, I harm myself.
As for envy, I don't think that's bad. It's a great motivator to improve one's situation. Example- right now I envy anyone with a functional toilet and shower. I don't have those. So, my envy is driving me to find a new, higher paying job (something I was previously unwilling to do) so I can pay to have those things fixed.
But, I will agree society is way off the rails. I'm not positive religion is the whole answer. It would not be for me.
As a Christian, I agree on the commandments, but I also agree with the people, or understand with the people who believe it shouldnβt be displayed in classrooms. . As a retired teacher, coach, and principal here in Texas for almost 4 decades, I really get tired of people talking about it started by taking Prayer out of school. Ridiculous!!!!Everything starts in the home!!! Schools are NOT the answer for moral foundations. Itβs in the home where morals are laid, by the time they come to school, the cake is almost baked.
Now some employees have an inside track at changing morals and developing character ( this is the reason I dedicated my life to coaching and teaching) because of the amount of time and sweat equity put forth by students, like coaches, band directors, choir directors, FFA teachers. The responsibility of raising children left the home in the 60βs to the gleeful delight of the government and globalists. I encourage ALL to homeschool!!!!!
Yes, to homeschooling, and I couldn't agree more with the fact that morality must be taught at home. What should public schoolteachers do when it isn't?
You have to demonstrate morality by the way you run the class as a whole and treat the students individually. Many come from tough home situations BUT rules are rules and they need to be held accountable like everyone else. If not, they learn how to manipulate their situation instead of being responsible. My dad, WWII veteran of Pacific, had terrible ptsd from chemical and radiation so he medicated with beer. My mom and 6 brothers and sisters had to spend the evenings in our garden until he fell asleep around 2 a m because of fear of him, flashbacks and a hidden 410 shotgun. We never missed school or used our rough situation as an excuse. In fact we never told anyone. It made us grow up soon.
I was taught envy goes deeper than just wanting something others have and thereby potentially being motivated to go for it. Envy is wishing ill to those who have what you want, possibly even hating them for having it. Envy isnβt good.
Envy: The proper word is 'covet' which has different connotations: From etymology online. mid-13c., "to desire or wish for inordinately or without regard for the rights of others." Herein lies a clue as to the problems with the teaching of the world. It will always leave one empty.
I hear you. I didn't say religion is the only answer. I said it was historically how we got those ideas. Now they are secular.
Only unpopular in this group. But I agree with you. Morality should be taught in the home. Simply hanging up a sign that little kids won't understand anyway is just grand-standing. It won't improve anyone's character.
No it's not unpopular "only in this group" unless you mean by this group the tens of millions of faithful church-going Christians.
As to morality being taught in the home of course it should. But your Utopian fantasies aside, some sort morality will be taught at school whether you like it or not. There's no such thing as a values-free environment. Telling kids they cannot cheat on tests, steal from each, and to bully small kids is teaching them morality.
So there will be an ethical code taught and enforced, the question is who's ethical code. We took out the Ten Commandments and it has been replaced with sexual promiscuity, gay pride, transgenderism and "saving the planet" all taught as the new morality. The schools are absolutely teaching "morality" but it's the morality of pleasure seeking, hedonism, and sanctimonious virtue-signaling above all else.
Louisiana's is attempting a small step to reverse that. And no it's not just "grandstanding" as you so cavalierly dismiss it, but drawing a line in the stand. It's a statement that there is such as thing as absolute morality, it was once the cornerstone of civilization, and it's still valuable in our society.
There only needs to be one commandment.
'Do no harm to others.'
Do you perhaps mean there should only be one law? You would get a lot more agreement to that. The commandments are for God's people not for everyone.
It is a simple concept, live in a manner that does not negatively impact
any other inhabitant of the Earth.
The bible is full of many 'Commandments', most of which are complete nonsense.
The commandments pictured are not what are called 'The Ten Commandments'
in the bible.
Nope. Whoβs going to define βharmβ? Thatβs where morality comes into play.
Who is going to define 'morality'?
Who is going to define the god that is mentioned in the
first three 'Commandments' listed?
Correct. Schools should reinforce what parents want for their kids. So do parents not want their kids to "set the bar high" and learn to do the right thing?
Exactly. Without someone teaching the morals AND the reasons for those morals that the sign is supposed to convey, it's just a piece of paper. I used to each 6 year olds. One hard thing was explaining the science of how rainbows were made (we were studying color), but they got it. Those 6 years olds are not going to understand, nor should they be exposed to, the word "adultery" or any topic like that.
The commandments weren't given to teach morals. The commandments were laws provided to the Israelites that had recently been freed from slavery.
Except that there are kids that think stealing, killing and destroying is not REALLY bad. Especially when you compare yourself to someone worse. And yes, your kids or grandkids go to school with them right now. So it may be brand new news to some. Hey. the State is telling the kids what to think. Guess it is a matter of if you trust the "experts" with your most precious possession. Just a thought.
I have no children or grandchildren. If I did, they would not see a public school if I could help it. Maybe I couldn't and I would have to spend all night deprogramming them.
The last time church and state mixed, two of my ancestors were burned alive. (Another ancestor was a person who condemned women to be burned alive.) I think introducing religion into state run institutions is a poor choice, but I can see why others don't.
Morals should be taught at home. Actually, I'm not sure "taught" is as correct a word as "modeled" is. I remember my grandfather and I going home and he realized he had not paid for something. He turned around, went back and paid. That made a much greater impact on me than a poster would have. As a former environmental educator, I learned quickly that kids copy what the see and hear you do, not what a handout says.
Morality is not Christianity. Morality can be relative and movable depending on your worldview. Hitler thought he was moral. Without an anchor anything can be thought of as moral.
Respectfully, I disagree to an extent. I don't think any anchor needs to be rooted in religion, I think it's more along the lines of common sense. We're still tribal animals, whether we want to admit it or not. If a person harms a member of their tribe, it ultimately means they harm themselves. I think it's the tribal mentality that ultimately drives morals, but that's my opinion.
I agree that morality depends on a person's world view, but I also think even with religion aside, most people would agree that killing another human being for no reason at all is immoral. Torturing a person or an animal is also regarded as highly immoral, yet there's no commandment against it. There's no commandment not to have sexual contact with children or trafficking them, either, but I'd say darn near everyone agrees that is exceptionally immoral. I'm not religious, but yet my morals align with most of Christianity
I'm sure Hitler thought he was moral. I'm sure so do Bill Gates, Fauci, Soros, whatever the name of that idiot running the WEF is, Houcul, Biden, Whitmer, Trudeau, Newsom, and the entire MSM, to name a few. That does not mean they are, because their actions and intentions cause, will cause, or have caused direct and intentional harm to others. Harming someone isn't against a commandment either, but I think most would agree that a leader who harms the people is immoral as hell.
You make a good argument for Jesus' summary of the Ten Commandments: "Love God. Love your neighbor." He didn't say "Love any God you choose, and love only your tribal neighbor." His audience knew the One God referred to, and He gave an example of loving even those not in your "tribe."
Separation: Of course, the concept of the 'separation of church and state' was to protect the church from the state and not the other way around. The phrase isn't in the Constitution but rather an assurance from Thomas Jefferson to the Danbury Baptist Church association of Connecticut that the state would have no influence over religious views.
Also omitted from the Constitution is any power to create and control indoctrination centers for our children. Yet, here we are. We now have the state created religion of 'science' being crammed into our children's minds with threat of imprisonment if we refuse it.
So in this, we agree. The state shouldn't teach any religion. Even if it were to teach the correct religion, it is almost a given that it wouldn't be taught properly. Really, the state shouldn't teach anything at all but should be left to the people.
At one time I fell into the βkeep the church out of the states businessβ camp since I was a product of the public school system , however now that weβve had 44 years of not having them in schools maybe itβs time to give it a try again. We seem to be headed toward a cliff. Letβs start throwing spaghetti on the wall and see if anything sticks. Anything at all.
I agree. People donβt seem to look ahead and wonder how they would feel if with immigration, etc if the country became majority Muslim. Iβm hoping that this wonβt happen, but you never know. I would prefer to see the bill of rights displayed prominently in schools. Perhaps display the 10 Commandments somewhere in a school that chooses to, but not in every classroom?
Jeffβs the attorney here, but as I recall growing up there wasnβt any reference or mention of separation of church & state until the infamous hippie-dippy 60βs.
At our schools we were all given a wooden 12in ruler with The Golden Rule written on it.
In 4th or 5th grade we were given a small New Testament bible.
In high school we had bible reading & prayer over the intercom every morning (during βHomeroomβ).
We werenβt perfect robotic kids but we certainly respected our school personnel from principal to janitors. We respected authority & behaved. Any misbehavior was dealt with appropriately; no parent threatened suing the school.
While schools were financed by local (& I suppose state) taxpayers there werenβt really considered βstateβ entities. That seems to have come when Federal $$$ came & local schools became beholden to βstateβ (federal mandates).
Then came βseparation of church & stateβ to the forefront more & more.
This nation was founded upon religious freedom; a Judeo-Christian belief system.
Today it seems that Islam is given more leeway in educational institutions than Christianity. Ivy League universities as well as many others (Baylor, for instance) was founded by Christians. Slowly that Christian foundation has been stripped away.
Those same learning institutions now tolerate protests & the takeover of buildings & grounds.
Until Kent State I donβt recall any such protests that show such disrespect of such institutions.
Protest - yes. But with dignity & decorum.
I digress but all to say Iβve watched the decline in proper behavior & morals when Christianity & Christian standards were deemed to violate βchurch & state.β
I can go on about Thomas Jeffersonβs letter to the Danbury Baptists, where the only mention of church & state resides in historical documents. He simply answered a question.
I'm sitting here wishing they would have included our founding documents... preamble, constitution, billi of rights....
You don't understand "separation of church and state" as it is written in the constitution. Evidently you don't have an issue with the Muslim religion being pushed in schools and everywhere else
Line 1 of the 1st Amendment couldnβt be clearer. That wall was built to protect religion from government. There is no wall of separation between religion and the moral code of βnatureβs God.β Weβve switched terms and built walls to protect the state from morality.
I think youβre right.
Shouldn't they also post Napoleon's Code? Will these be printed in French for historicity as well?
And the Magna Carta!
Yep. I don't want to live in a theocracy of any kind, which we already do with all this rainbow corporatism and pride holidays of "visibility," but this seems like a complex philosophical question, involving cultural Christianity, coalitional Christianity (Inquisition, Crusades) and devotional Christianity. Magna Carta, though, would also be historical. My niece on the Irish side is descended from one of the thirteen signers who opposed King John and here's the great Neil Oliver on the significance of the Magna Carta for the West:

Christendom IS the West, I guess, so if we have to choose between Genderbread Men pride displays, the tenets of Sharia Law (subjugation of women, infidel hating, bowing to Mecca five times a day), or a bunch of crypto-Masonic occultism from the UN and WHO, worshipping some Euclidean theorem (so freaking pretentious), I"d take the Ten Commandments, but I concur, Magna Carta everywhere!
While I don't object to the 10 Commandments being posted, I think this is a deeply unserious attempt to change culture. I dislike virtue signaling. And everything from bumper stickers to yard signs to Ukraine flag emoji's on your twitter account, I find it all very pointless. Virtue signal if you want. Hanging the 10 commandments is in the same way virtue signaling unless you are willing to act.
The point isn't what you post in the classroom, its what you teach. Its the behavior you insist on, its the consequences you mete out when the standards are broken. Its building a truly meritocratic system of educating children. Loose the grade inflation. Loose the "participation trophies" that have softened our children and prevented the benefits of competition.
Children are also more likely to pay attention to their parents', teachers', and leaders' behaviors than to follow words on a sign. If teachers don't walk their talk, children won't learn good behavior and attitude no matter how much it is drilled into them.
Some say the mass media has more influence on young people than anything/anyone else...
I don't know, being a baby boomer myself, but that would be sad if true. I always watched my parents and teachers to learn what to do.
If the picture here is what they passed that's not the ten commandments I memorized as a kid is Sunday school. They removed the second and split the tenth into two commandments.
Catholics and Protestants interpret the numbering of the Ten Commandments differently. Not really based on theology, but tradition. IIRC that's the Catholic numbering which makes sense based on Louisiana's roots.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ten_Commandments#Commandments_text_and_numbering
https://www.wsfa.com/story/421272/how-many-versions-of-the-ten-commandments-are-there-/
This 10 Commandments is not in the Bible. They left out number six, which is βdo not murder. β
Itβs the Catholic Ten Commandments.
They are both the 10 commandments. One is from Leviticus, the other is from Exodus. The Bible doesnβt contradict itself, so go with both instead of divisions.
The Spring 2024 American Spectator includes an excellent article about how our Founders based the declaration and Constitution on βNatural Religionββie a single Creator and other general principles. They were just trying to avoid endorsing certain sects or churchesβand there were a large variety at that time.
Makes sense. They desperately needed all 13 colonies on board, and they didnβt want Church of England authoritarianism. It seems a bit of a coup and a shot across slaveryβs bow to include, βall men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.β Slave holders apparently dodged that cannonball by convincing themselves that slaves were subhuman, an idea taken to extreme in New Spain.
In fact in the declaration, the list of grievances includes blaming England for having imposed slavery to begin withβ¦
I don't think the 1st amendment bans the government for supporting religion, it just can't enforce a particular religion on the citizens like in England where they only had the church of England and that is why the Protestants left. Protest=ants. They wanted to believe their own way.
It's a one-way street in favor of citizensβ right to worship without persecution, right? It seems clear from the make-up of the founders that Christianity was broadly assumed although not mandated. Surely, the 1st Amendment means Commandments 1-3 can never be law, but all ten were the moral code. 5 and 10 were attributes of citizens considered of βgood character.β 4 and 7 were statutory into our lifetimes. 6, 8, and 9 are still statutory with legal consequence everywhere except Soros DA jurisdictions. But what an interesting and timely issue!
I expect the Satanic church will also want to put their 10 commandments in schools too. Watch people freak out when they do.
...except that, Louisiana isn't using "Freedom of Religion" as their platform. There is no historical reason to post Satanic ANYTHING in public schools as it has no historical presence in the founding of America.
Neither does the 'Ten Commandments'.
That's a pretty bold claim, care to back it up? From all I know of history the vast bulk of the European settlers who founded the modern US were Christian, which suggests that the ten commandments had "historical presence" since that time.
Exactly. Our country, as we know it, was founded on Christian principles.
Bryan Dair, prove me wrong.
"The government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion." - John Adams
This quote came from the Treaty of Peace and Friendship from 1796, also known as the Treaty with Tripoli.

Then remove the first three 'Commandments' and replace them with
something of practical value.
Now that Zelensky's term is up, he's just like Biden. Both unelected but seated as president.
As long as you serve the globalist's wishes...
Globalist Sock Puppets come in many different packages with the same Pathological Qualification: Biden - Senile Pathological Liar. Zelensky - Entertainer Pathological Liar. Trudeau, Macron, Newsome - Grinning Pathological Liars. Schwab - Dr. Evil Pathological Liar. Obama & Kerry - Self Righteous Pathological Liars. Hillary - Ms. Evil Pathological Liar.

Look out! Some new bots and trolls have shown up in force today!
Still crazy how there are people out there who think this trial somehow show's Trump's "guilt" beyond any reasonable doubt and that this time they'll get him. Sadly, the verdict likely will be "guilty" and then this goes to the appeals court to be overturned. I wish the people cheering on this tactic of lawfare would realize how easily this would be turned on _anyone_ they don't like.
In semi-related news - anyone else noticing their Twitter feed is now much more visibly anti-Trump than it was a couple of months ago?
This is exactly what Twitter does and they even literally told us it is how they are going to police speech, yet many here hail Musk as the savior of free speech. What a joke.
I am able to follow and read many dissident voices of doctors and scientists on X that I cannot on other social media such as Facebook, YouTube, etc. I do appreciate Rumble and Odyssey. X is much better since Elon took over, but admittedly, I think the advertisers have an impact on how many times these dissident posts are shared. There are also βsex botsβ that βlikeβ someoneβs post, and get the post taken down, even though it is not the posterβs fault.
Maybe 'freer speech' but not free speech. I read that there are some platforms which Twitter X blocks linking to.
Let's be honest: it's a whole lot freer speech. We're having discussions now - and making progress now - that simply would not have happened a year or two ago.
The vaccine injuries issue has exploded into society almost entirely b/c of changing Twitter to X.
And of course, "free speech" laws only apply to the gov't (something I keep reminding the commies of when they yell about private universities cracking down on staged/paid "protests"). That whole thing (gov't censorship at X) at least *seems* to have ended. I'm still convinced Musk is backed or egged on by someone in a deep state or connected role, but it's working out well for humanity at this point. Maybe there really are "white hats," or at least grey hats?
X blocked links to Substack b/c Musk felt Substack tried to roll out its own version of X. Substack says it was a different app altogether. It's a petty move by Musk, but well within the usual eccentric billionaire template. Other issues are generally technical issues b/c the thing still loses money and they can't afford to fix it. Sort of like all the tech issues here at Substack (like, right in the middle of typing this reply, the screen refreshes and throws this entire chain to a different point on the screen, or the inability to "like" things sometimes, etc.).
But, to be fair w/o Substack and now X none of us would have a voice or any way to connect and push our ideas into the public sphere. As with all of these positive developments, I am hopeful but skeptical. And under no illusions that there aren't ulterior motives of some sort.
I agree that there appears to be a considerable faction behind Musk. Nothing big like Trump, Musk happens all by its little self.
I also am under no illusions, and I am more than skeptical. And the loosing of speech control is only incidentally for our benefit, and only to the degree which is necessary to maintain control by those who currently seeking to restore control and direction.
Most people, and even a lot of lawyers, have no appreciation of how the people were transported out of Liberty by the gradual usurpation of the old American Law System and into the travesty to which we are now witness. For the moment I shall merely point out that nothing like 'the rules based order' could exist in old American Law Order ... not by custom and habit.
Any loosening may be beneficial and useful to our cause. But nonetheless the tyranny is simply shedding mail and armor in favor of the velvet glove. Liberty in any authentic sense has been long ago eclipsed.
After the last 3-1/2 years, it's really hard to not be cynical. Some of the emerging anti-vax and pro-Trump hints in MSM make me wonder if the ship is turning in a newly nefarious direction.
It is hard. But, IDK. I figure power is complicated. Every time someone grabs power, someone else looks to take it away. Even within the cabal that sits atop the power structure, there is going to be infighting and disagreements. And they're losing their megaphone; no one is believes the MSM anymore. Twitter is dead for them. It feels like they are in disarray right now, grasping for anything to control the narrative.
I don't think I'd call anything I've seen in MSM "pro" Trump or particularly anti-vaccine. More like CYA and limited hangouts designed to placate growing anger with both situations (the covid scam and the targeted persecution of a political candidate), and especially to give their supporters talking points to use against the backlash. That's the sole purpose of MSM these days: provide talking points and non-verbal cues to their 12 regular viewers as to how to "combat" "the other side." (And we pay for that! Yay!)
But, it also feels to me like some of them are coming to terms with Trump winning being inevitable. Given the size of his lead over "Biden," they know they don't have enough fake votes to cheat out a win this time. And are starting to form a new narrative where they control the message about him and try to control him (again). I just hope he's learned some lessons since his first go-round. IMO, he underestimated their duplicity.
As far as the "vaccines" go, when 30%+ report knowing someone who has been injured, and virtually no one knows anyone who actually died FROM the supposed virus the "vaccine" was for, I just don't think they have a choice but to walk it back. My guess is they will throw Birx and Collins and maybe Fauci under the bus. People will resign and move to some tropical private island. Then, they'll pretend like they didn't do it, employers did it all on their own.
Open the lawsuits against employers. That is probably what this narrative shift is signaling.
Anyway, sorry for the long reply.
Youβre more precise about nothing overtly pro-Trump or anti-vax in the MSM. I prefer your angle on hedging bets against the looming vax-injury suits and likely setbacks on the Trump lawfare, at least on appeals. Theyβll never admit they were wrong about either in our lifetimes, but theyβll try to keep straight faces and pretend they still have a shred of the credibility they lost a long time ago. Itβs like watching cartoons with none of the inside jokes.
Iβm still wondering, guilty of what exactly?
Winning the presidential election instead of Hillary. Being Trump. I mean - what more do you need to be guilty of?
I recently started watching The Good Fight (spin off of The Good Wife). The character Diane suffers from severe TDS and it is laughable, until they start messing with the voting machine software, which is a little too close to home. It is based in Chicago, so.

Best news: Ten Commandments in the classroomβ¦rules to live by in Godβs world.
Sure, now we can set this precedent and let the crazy satanic people post things in school too, right? Why don't people understand this?
They're framing it in terms of historical importance rather than as a strictly religious text. In that regard, it would be difficult for satanic group to argue anything similar. There simply isn't any non-Christian text or symbol that can claim the same historical importance.
Youre wrong. The fact is the colonists learned the ethics and workings of democracy not from the Bible but from the Native American people who lived on the East Coast, the 5 Million strong Iroquois Nation which met at huge tribal conclaves to propose and vote on laws which were then taken back to the local tribes where they were given a second and final vote by EVERY MEMBER, including the Women, of the tribe. Unlike the Bible which taught the inferiority of women and their subservience to men, the women were considered equals. There is NOTHING in the Bible which promotes democracy and indeed the Catholic Church, Orthodox Judaism and many Christian sects STILL teach the inequality of the sexes and subservience to a King as though it all came from the Creator, rather than the previous much older middle eastern Zoroastrian religious belief in a βMale Supreme Deityβ.
I never said American democracy was based on the ten commandments. So...
But since you brought it up, the colonists did not learn "ethics" from the Iroquois. Nor democracy. They certainly did formulate moral opinions based on the teachings from the Bible. Point of fact, the Bible teaches that we are all equal. The "inequality" you talk about is your own misunderstanding of what the Bible says.
Letβs start with βsatanismβ is not a religion. Definitions must be made clear.
+ as Jason said above, Satanism has no claim to historical relevance for the US. Nor does any other world religion. They're all historically irrelevant to the US. It will be interesting to see if this holds up. Regardless, it's a good move to push the Overton window to the right.
There are many many thousands of religions across the globe.
They already allow satan club, don't they?
and the Abortion Club
Hey. Those are the same club. And the LGBTZNOXY and Furries and gS0R0z club, and The Presidents Come Lately won't leave club.
Bc crazy satanic commandments are not historically used in the country for 250+ years.
The 10C are historical context, not religious instruction. Itβs how one makes sense of what the early Americans did and said. Without understanding why/context, it doesnβt.
IMHO the 10 Commandments, whether you are a believer or not, do constitute the underpinnings of a moral society.
"Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."
John Adams
Agreed. Even if you disregard the religious aspects, if society follows thecommandments, it is peaceful and prosperous. Dontnfollow it? Society cannot rain civil.
Choose wisely.
Happy good morning C&Cs πβοΈ
I know what we've seen over the last 3 years is labeled Biden's failure, but I see it as the puppet masters' failures, Obama, Soros, Clinton, Pelosi, Schumer, Rice, Military leaders, Dept. leaders, et al. These are their failures. Biden is just the meat suit in front of the cameras.
The real failure is a culmination of indifference, over the last 30 years, by the populace.
I suggest that they are not failures from the perspective of the folks you mentioned.
True, they get their kick backs and check their souls in at the counter.
Have they really failed if someoneβs intention was to depopulate us? Lower the birth rate? Increase censorship on social media? Enrich the pharmaceutical industrial complex and the military industrial complex, the techno bio security state? I know we try to be positive on here, but we have a lot more standing up to do.
Why do we conservatives not stand up to the border sit, Zelensky, censorship? Cuz election rigged and we don't vote in STRONG Conservatives with a backbone.
Amen. The millions of illegal aliens now among us surely met a pre-determined goal. Never stand down. That's how we got in this pickle.
With the Ten Commandments law and the prohibition of the WHO, Louisiana is looking more and more like a viable destination for those fleeing the tyrannical left coast. Encouraging development!
As long as you stay out of NOLA.
Their last election really put them in a position to do great things!!
I wouldn't have thought - any Louisianans here who can testify to their state's strengths and weaknesses? Give us an overview?
Zelensky's regime did murder Gonzalo Lira who was an American citizen and journalist.
It was okay because he criticized the regime. And he didnβt play basketball. Someone posted a video recently where Gonzalo told a story of a βmeet upβ and a fed showed up. He was laughing and happy as he told the story. I contrast that with his last video where heβs going to try to cross a border because he knows if he goes back into custody theyβll kill him. He was a very brave man. It makes me sad how anyone who goes against the regime just get picked off and we wring our hands. We get small victories but weβre still heading down the wrong road.
I also watched that last video when he stopped and warned/knew that he would not survive when arrested.
Very brave man.
He was killed by the cia. Gauronteed.
CIA also killed Kennedy.
And with the FBI they killed Martin Luther King Jr. The family sued and one the lawsuit.
Uncontrollable people must be "eliminated" according to the Deep State.
So they say, including his nephew RFKJR.
It was really brave of him to come out and say that...
...along with his book on the murderous psycho Fauci.
The fact that RFKjr hasn't been sued over his book/s just shows the truth held therein.
Correct.

Good point, Phil. I'll stay on the lookout for that rype of response.
That should be a good tell. AI and trolls seem especially hot on the threads today. New names, same old contrarian lunacy. I think I shut down a troll once with Scripture. I'll have to try that again. I hear "Get thee behind me, Satan" works really well : )
