I am angry at the naivete of evangelical leaders who think the $61 billion will be used to secure religious freedom in Ukraine or that it will do anything except enrich politicians.
I am angry that American funds are going to other countries. We need to take care of our own. We didn't make the mess over there and it is not our job to stop it when we have problems in our own house.
Aiding and abetting armed conflicts worldwide is what our Federal government and the graft greedy NEOCON LEGISLATORS have been doing for many DECADES. It's why BRICS is going to explode and our 'paper dollars' will be fodder for the BRICS BATTALION - China and Russia (the 'dragon' and the 'bear') are mentioned in Revelations concerning Armageddon (the last big military onslaught fought on the Plains of Megiddo in the Holy Land.) Biden (actually the 3RD OBAMA administration) are working 'fist in glove' to DESTROY AMERICA! It's working my C & C Army buds!! KEEP PRAYING FOR A GOD MIRACLE!!
There are approximately 30 Support Ukraine lawn signs within a 6 block radius of my house. They stand out. There is a very active Support Ukraine group in my area. For the most part these signs are at democrat homes, based on previous lawn signs.
I'm still a grain of mustard.
Today's Coffee and Covid should be required reading on Capital Hill. The Ukraine flag waving in Congress is so obscene.
Something is coming on the God/Biblical scale timeline. Whether it is a miracle or something else, I don't know.
Think you are special. That’s what we need to think. Like before Reagan you would’ve been furnished room on extra thick wallpaper. Two personal servers and special jacket
Exactly. Putin is a threat to civilization. Doesn’t take a genius. Also doesn’t take a genius to see why were in the Middle East facilitating genocide in crimes against humanity pretty fucked up dynamic there.
Nothing is communist in this country. Absolutely nothing. U2 have just notified the world that you are dumber than a box of rocks. And that’s insulting the gravel in my driveway….
Yea, I'd bet big $'s the US is neck-deep in instigating much of it.
Missing in Jeff's foreign funding description, there's $9B in it for Gaza which, we all know will land in the hands of hamas. We're helping to fund both sides while Blinken & Biden are busy releasing billions in sanctioned money to Iran which, also funds ME terrorists.
Yes, I'm aware Israel created hamas. I'm also aware the US created our CIA, FBI, and other intelligence agencies and look where we’re at. We created monsters.
Ain't that the truth ... and "look where we're at."
I'm encouraged by so many C & C-ers not just gobbling up the government crap like greedy pigs at a trough. And actually bothering themselves to look into things.
Not so. They are and always have been indigenous, and the massacres started with Arabs attacking people in their homes. Wars happen. Some people win, some people lose. My ancestors were burned at the stake in Switzerland and had to leave their homes and immigrate. We're not demanding repatriation of our property. Tragedy, war, displacement happens. Israel has a right to be a nation and they have the strength to make it happen. People need to get over it.
You mean like NOW? The USG and Israel are tied at the hip. I would say the same thing about Ukraine. Although, I do think that the history in regard to Israel goes back MUCH further.
Not only now, but ever since the inception of Israel ... and before.
The year was 1960. And the movie was Exodus, produced and directed by Otto Preminger. All one could hear or see from sea to shining sea were vinyl records and sheet music pouring out, "This land is mine. God gave this land to me." The whole Zionist synagogue showed up at a the Zionist owned movie theater in my town with a specially roped off section. And if you wanted to ever see a show of solidarity, this was it. I was eleven years old at the time and this is one of those indelible mental impressions which never left my mind.
Project Israel was a promotion before and after the Balfour Declaration. And not a good one for American, America and the world in general.
My Uncle Ben married a Jewish woman named Camille sometime after his wife Grace died. Both Camille and Uncle Ben were Christian Scientists which is how they met. Sometime in the early 1980s, I went with my mother to Ft. Lauderdale to visit them. I remember my mother and Camille talking politics and Camille saying that the establishment of Israel was the worst thing that could have happened to the Jewish people. The remark kind of stunned me at the time. I guess that we are now beginning to see why Camille said what she did.
Your statement about Ukraine are ridiculous. Simply associating them with other dynamics which are true does not make it so. Lame. Putin fluffer boi is not gonna look good on your résumé…
It's the same logic by which Big Pharma promote all kinds of shots and drugs, cause illness and then sell the cure. Who suffers? People. They are draining away the wealth of the middle classes.
I had met a wealthy man last century. He was donating to both D and R politicians. Being young and naive I asked why, and he replied "that way whoever wins I have an in"
Zelensky reportedly has mansions in Florida and London, and his parents reside in Israel. His goal of making Ukraine the "Big Israel" isn't going real well.
He has. Also one in Italy (that is rented to Russians), Pretty sure he has others too. Mother in law has a $4.5 million mansion in Egypt on the Red Sea. The local journalist who broke the story was murdered .
I saw a 30 second clip of about 1 per second shots of mansions around the world belonging to Zelensky's clan and ranking Ukraine officials. Just a start. The Rothschilds funded the French, British, and Germans in WW1, and the Allies won because they borrowed (owed) more). They always, always fund both sides. Just like stockbrokers who make money when you buy, or sell stock
IMHO, funding both sides and profiting from war is nothing new but we are paying attention now. I realize everything is misinformation on some level and if anyone exposes something the powers-that-be don't like, they are eliminated by various methods.
Our only hope is in Jesus, and He can change anything in a moment, even a man's heart. I figure I will do my best where I am at, and make a little difference and others can do the same making a big difference overall. Evil will always work to corrupt anything good as long as it exists. It has been since the beginning.
We have been giving Israel money for decades. Hamas was created by Israel to create conflict so they have a reason to destroy, occupy, and take over their "homeland." They want the Palestinians out. They created an apartheid state making it a living hell for the Palestinians and they can't leave if they wanted to.
The only victims of ISIS are opponents of USA/Israel. A very convenient 'terrorism' group who shows up destabilize areas that give cover the the USA to get involved. US troops in Syria and western Iraq is one example.
We fund and arm ISIS. We simply rebaptize them as “moderate rebels” then get them to do our dirty work. But we don’t mind, or look the other way when they slaughter millions of Syrian christians. What’s that to Blinken and other neocons. They don’t care. Currently we illegally occupy one third of Syria and nobody cares. I’m so disgusted with American foreign meddling I could scream. Remember Bush’s Shock and Awe campaign ? Instant death for tens of thousands of Iraqis. And now instant death for tens of thousands of Gazans, or slow starvation . And we wonder why they all hate us over there.
CIA interventions are the main source of destabilization of countries, which is the cause of our Immigration problem, or at least a fig leaf for the more organized interests with their own agenda.
without CIA regime changes our world would be much more peaceful and stable.
The US is used to control others because we are profitable, and we the people really have no power to stop it. Just look at what happened with Speaker Johnson...
Because they are powerful, who can go against them? I like Trump but he supports serious NWO plans like the jab and biometric tracking. He is not what I thought.
I have to trust God and not any man's plan to clean the swamp. I hope things are getting better but evil will always invade since God has not wiped it from the earth yet.
It seems to me, all groups and agencies are created for nefarious reasons.
Historically, what nation or civilization has stood the test of time without being destroyed... mostly from the inside through infiltration and polluting the people's minds by those with money and power?
Most people just want to live in peace, work, and raise a family.
The 1% seek to control and destroy that. They do it little by little by encouraging hedonistic behavior that always ends in self destruction which is the opposite of what the Bible teaches.
hedonism -
Pursuit of or devotion to pleasure, especially to the pleasures of the senses.
The ethical doctrine holding that only what is pleasant or has pleasant consequences is intrinsically good.
The doctrine holding that behavior is motivated by the desire for pleasure and the avoidance of pain
* Although we aren’t sending troops, our financial support indicates we are fighting this war, IMHO. Our constitution requires the approval of Congress to declare war.
* Our politicians borrowed the money for these weapons. Like Rand Paul said, Israel has less debt than us - let THEM borrow the money.
* In the end, this is just one big money laundering scheme. I hope the Russians burn down everything Zelensky bought with our tax money.
Israel’s finding should’ve been removed decades ago.
We should’ve helped Ukraine but also with logistics and strategy not just weapons. That could be over by now.
If any of you actually gave a shit about the money you’d be calling for 845% flat rate income tax on corporate publicly traded businesses which could not only wipe out the entire national debt in less than a decade, but allow mom and Pop to compete again. Zip it!
American funds aren’t going to other countries. Over 90% of it never leaves our borders. It goes to weapons contractors and manufacturers of them. Fuck, the stupidity I’m on the right wing nut jobs as ubiquitous. No wonder we can’t have anything nice
Are you implying that we should impose some constraints on the practice of Christianity? Ban it? What about other religions? What about other social movements?
All congregations, religious or not, are used for political purposes. That is ok with me, in fact I'd argue that it is essential. If Christians were not political, they would be legally (or even illegally) eliminated in the US - democrats have been clear on that objective. Because we have become a country of "I am right, you are wrong. Therefore my way must be imposed. There is no negotiating, there is not compromise because my position is pure and good." every movement must be willing to fight or be killed.
Christianity provided the ideological support for most of the evil in teh world. Slavery, Crusades, COLONIALIZATION, Witchhunts killing 9 million innocents, now ENDLESS WARS.
Christians need to do some WAY OVERDUE self inquiry.
Slavery, crusades, colonialization, witchhunts, war - all existed for thousands of years both before Christianity and in areas where Christianity didn't exist.
Wherever you find large groups of people you will find evil. Look at history and you will find this to be true. Tribal wars in Africa and North America, Genghis Kahn, Stalin, Darius and Xerxes, ...
I know it is oh so fashionable to hate Christianity, but you could eliminate Christianity and you would still have evil.
Christianity is responsible for so much of the good in the world: hospitals, charity, education, democracy, the defeat of tyranny, improved standards of living, elimination of slavery, elimination of child labor,... and on balance, I'd say Christianity is on the heavy positive side of the ledger.
whose website? you are uneducated about Gnosticism. it is about taking the middle man out of spirituality.
Gnostics worshiped in Nature, caves and sacred places, DIDNT NEED PRIESTS to tell them what to do.. and refused to tax the peasants to build huge cathedrals. they were in favor of freedom, free trade, teaching women to read and conduct business, at a time in the Dark Ages when most were illiterate and consequently at the mercy of the Power hungry Evil church hierarchy, who are the foundation for the exploitation we now see world wide. LOOK TO THE VATICAN where the bodies are buried, and all the stolen gold and treasure is secreted away.
Christians don't need priests either (though last time I checked the Roman church still tries to claim that we do). Seems that the bulk of the things you are objecting to are similar to what the Reformation had a problem with - things that were not originally part of the Christian faith but were added later by men who seized authority that wasn't theirs to take.
There is a mental ladder in front of you. Climb it and you may find the answer. It will be a long and arduous journey and will take some time, but you may find your desire for truth to inspire you. Or maybe not.
Bad things happen in war. That's why we should try to avoid it. We have done nothing which will improve Ukraine's situation. We shouldn't have been involved in overthrowing their president in 2014, in getting rid of the man who was going to expose the corruption (which Biden bragged about). Remember that Trump was impeached because of a phone call which threatened to expose the Biden family's corrupt dealings there. What about our J6 political prisoners? What about the ones, such as Matthew Pena, who committed suicide when threatened with prison terms when they committed no violent acts? What about the people killed by covid hospital protocols and disabled or killed by the covid vaccines? I have no respect for legislators who refuse to help these people, but give billions to Ukraine or to terrorists in Iran or Gaza. We need to stop interfering in every other country's business and take care of our own. Sadly, I know that's not going to happen.
all we are doing is kicking the can down the road trying to avoid the inevitable collapse of Ukraine. and the UKRAINIANS are paying the price with their lives. we the US taxpayer are forking all our treasure out FOR NOTHING but to give the Oligarch reptilians more time to hide from justice.
I'd suggest getting some facts in your argument first. 61 billion in aid to Ukraine is a drop in the 6.9 (I think) trillion budget.
For 6 months there was no aid to Ukraine.
What changed for you?
Did Trump become president again?
Did the economy suddenly have zero inflation?
National debt go to zero?
No?
It wasn't about Ukraine.
Ukrainians are trying to survive as a nation against a hostile force intent on wiping them out. Ask yourself why Russians brought the SOBR and children's teachers with them when they invaded..because the parents needed to be thrown in camps and the children "re-educated as Russians".
You don't get a million Ukrainians to protest against Russian backed snipers and actual goon squads simply because of Victoria Nuland in the eastern European winter for weeks in the Maidan and across the nation (Even in the east).
You get them to protest because they remember the genocides Russia committed against them and the horrors inflicted during the subjugation by Moscow. While other post Soviet nations such as Estonia, Latvia, Poland, and Lithuania were having enormous market explosions Ukraine was stagnating at the behest of Putin.
I can't focus on the j6 people, I have to fix my own house first..sorry.
See how that works?
Part of being an adult is multi tasking.
Trump has publicly stated the covid shots were good. He also said J6 was a "Heinous attack on the US capitol".
During Trump's time in office we still sent aid to Ukraine despite problems here at home and even sent trillions in money laundering to the USA under covid relief.
He was a Russian citizen. The Russians viewed him as an ally because of his efforts on behalf of the Donbas. His wife is a Russian citizen as well. Unfortunately he was also a committed communist so I’m sorry the Ukrainians killed him but he’s no hero, at least to me.
It is a grift, wrapped in a fraud, cloaked in a psy op. The joy and flags displayed were not for Ukraine, but for Raytheon, Lockheed Martin and all the money that will be deposited in congressional pockets.
Yep. And the '10% for the big guy' mantra will hold true, with leaders of Ukraine and Israel raining down hundreds of millions of our cash amongst their cronies.
Israel has been doing that with USA money since its founding; look at AIPAC who is one of the biggest contributors to our politicians.
https://www.aipacpac.org/ <-- note their supporter list; it's all the people who passed the recent funding for them. They all received hundreds of thousands from AIPAC.
You’re such a lying piece of shit. You’re terrible at this agitprop thing. If Vladimir ever sees it, you will live in bum fuck Siberia the rest of your days.
Those "evangelical leaders" accepted ecumenism decades ago, and buy into the whole global regime narrative. Yes, they are very naive to believe that this money will in any way be beneficial to anyone but the corrupt politicians.
Franklin Graham posted a CNN article which called Mike Johnson our Churchill. He pushed the covid vax and was most likely harmed by it, as he had heart problems after his injection(s).
This is why we follow the Bible as led by the Holy Spirit and not men.
The Evangelical leadership has been abominable, so bad I think it's hard to dismiss as just poor judgment. I think they've been coopted.
They pushed the mRNA vax despite it being experimental and unproven. They knew people trusted them and would follow their recommendation. Those people are now paying the price.
They stand as cheerleaders as Israel kills Palestinians, many of them Christians, by the tens of thousands. There's a wholesale slaughter of civilians going on, and not only do they not condemn it, they approve of it. This based on a Bible interpretation invented two hundred years ago with no historical precedent.
They are completely absent on the culture war, quiet as church mice while kids are being told they need to chop their genitals off. Utterly and completely spineless.
This is what happens when supposed church leaders think it's their job to please men rather than God. There are a few notable exceptions, but most Evangelical leaders are now acting out of fear or something much worse. None of them can be trusted.
Test everything you are taught against scripture and your own life experience.
As Christians, the Evangelicals stand discredited ... and effete and emotional for of fallen Christian practice. They are not to be trusted.
I wish it were otherwise. But judging by fruit born, something has to be wrong somewhere because if we all in America were following the Bible then we could not possibly be a failing country ... and with no border to boot.
These days, everyone is Churchill. It's even become an elite class fetish. And even the piano playing dick is Churchill.
Actually, the historic Churchill was somewhat of a cigar smoking drunk. Sure, he was an important wartime figure and a cementing of the people in the war effort. But Churchill was also a sellout to the usual banker-type suspects and in point of fact did much to bring down the British Empire.
Disagree, he should speak on politics when there's clear Biblical instruction on the matter (e.g. homosexual marriage). He should not be shooting his mouth off when there isn't.
You are so right Carolyn but to point out certain inconvenient but true facts only invites displeasure. Billy Graham is our American Protestant Saint. He can’t be scrutinized but if people knew what he ended up believing they would shudder.
He double dips. Get two salaries, one from the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and the other from Samaritans Purse. He’s a very wealthy man. His salary 15 years ago was $885000/year. I don’t know what he earns now. I stopped giving years ago.
Sadly, C19 Health Terrorism has proved the bulk of the American pastorate to be brain dead effete bumbling idiots. Perhaps even akin to four years wearing adult cloths.
It's so bad that we are forced to tele-church sermons for Sunday at home worship.
It may not all be naivete. Sadly evangelical leaders are not immune to corruption either. Russell Moore is a case in point. He wisely left the SBC before he was thrown out for his lefty marxist leanings. There are enemies within the church.
We Christians are vulnerable where our beliefs are concerned. If belief is in a church/organized religion, challenging a church is almost worse than challenging the government. For my parents generation, Church = God, and that faith was exploited; is still being exploited (see covid-shuttered church buildings). Bible-based faith is the antidote. Turn to the Word for all answers. Sadly, those who have been bought have their reward, Mat 6:19-20.
Agreed. Dividing the Body of Christ—The Church—over hierarchies and doctrinal minutiae is a waste of time we don’t have. “I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified” (1 Corinthians 2:2). “There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all” (Ephesians 4:4-6).
I have listened to people who have been on the ground in Ukraine describe how the state is persecuting Christians. They have a secret police called the SBU. They are a bunch of jack-booted thugs. Our politicians squeal about "protecting democracy," but I wonder, "is Ukraine currently a democracy?" From everything I've read and heard from journalists on the ground, it is not. Our politicians are greedy grifters who represent the MIC/security state and other special interests, not the people. Sadly, it's both parties. I guess that's why they call them, "The Uniparty."
The OC appears to be standing solid in Russia, which is probably the best explanation for why the West has made Russia the boogeyman. This battle is not against flesh and blood.
So if we send $61 billion more to Zelensky, he will call off his secret police, right? I don't know if it is true, but someone commented on a Substack recently that Zelensky just purchased a third mansion, this one in England, and that his wife has spent $1 million on jewelry. You are correct, Ukraine is not a democracy. If the $61 billion saves the country and makes it democratic, maybe we'll have to move there to avoid persecution here. You are correct as well about the Uniparty. The Republicans have failed time and time again to use the power they had. You have to wonder at some point if they are any different from the Demoncrats.
We have to remember it is actually a Uniparty marriage between the Marxist Dems and the NeoCon Reps. Any real patriots??? Maybe MTG? The only actual patriot I can see is the one they are determined to keep out of office.
All any of these people (Zelensky, democrats, most republicans) care about is money and power. That's it. They will do anything to insure it stays that way. You're 100 percent correct.
Arguing the pros and cons of Ukraine funding, and the war itself, and the nonsense that continues in Congress, just feeds into the idea that these are all legitimate concerns and that there is need for a true remedy. I call bullshit and am tired of arguments from within the matrix. Clearly, they are laundering billions to no end and the status of "war" there is irrelevant. The entire idea of this crap is to get us all wrapped up it in so we don’t focus on what’s really important.
Can we talk about the systematic poisoning of people everywhere? Through our skies, in our food and water, injections and through gov’t patented EMF technology? Instead of the tired old “government blunders” can we please focus on what govt (and the people directing it) is directly doing to harm us?
The rest is just mental masturbation, round and round and round.
Correct. The Baptists are against any faith not Baptist. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been told in different Baptist churches how non-Baptists are going to Hell.
James - tragically, hell is a real place unless one repents & turns from their sins - no matter what “religious” denomination. Sadly, the focus is on preferences & political chatter more than on the Christ of Calvary.
😄 that's what the RC believes and a hundred plus others. It's all about Who you KNOW and obey. What DO you know?
Jn 10:28
and I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, and no one shall snatch them out of My hand.
Jn 6:64
But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who it was that should betray Him.
John 8:31 Jesus therefore said to those Jews that had believed him, If ye abide in My Word, then are ye truly My disciples; ³²and ye shall know the truth,...
John 8:36 If therefore the Son shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
John 8:51 Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep My Word, he shall never see death.
Matt. 7:22-23 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy by thy name, and by thy name cast out demons, and by thy name do many mighty works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
RC do not believe that..there was a time many. many decades ago that they did. Orthodox do not believe that either.
Yes they both believe in the fullness of the faith through the Church, but not even remotely close to an extremist Baptist or Pentacostal view of the Christian world.
Not anymore, atleast not with Orthodox. My daughter went to RC high school. No one told her such a thing, even in religion class.
Here is what the Catechism says:
(must be read carefully to understand)
Catechism of the Catholic Church
edit
The Catechism of the Catholic Church states that the phrase, "Outside the Church there is no salvation", means, if put in positive terms, that "all salvation comes from Christ the Head through the Church which is his Body", and it "is not aimed at those who, through no fault of their own, do not know Christ and his Church".[35] At the same time, it adds: "Although in ways known to himself God can lead those who, through no fault of their own, are ignorant of the Gospel to that faith without which it is impossible to please him, the Church still has the obligation and also the sacred right to evangelize all men".[36] The Catechism also states that the Catholic Church "is joined in many ways to the baptized who are honored by the name of Christian, but do not profess the Catholic faith in its entirety or have not preserved unity or communion under the successor of Peter", and that "those who have not yet received the Gospel are related to the People of God in various ways".[37]
It has no capacity to know who is in hell since that is not her domain.
It's also clear that there's no salvation outside the Church. But we are not a card-carrying church. Just because you say you're Catholic doesn't mean a thing. And if you don't know what the Church actually teaches (and therefore you don't embrace it) but you follow the graces of God, you, too have hope. It'll still be through the Church - which is the Body of Christ
The Catholic Church - whom Jesus Himself gave His authority to at Mt. 16:18-19 - has infallibly declared many times that outside the Church there is no possibility of salvation (see Unam Sanctam for just one example.)
The false Vatican 2 sect taught the opposite, that non-Catholics can be saved.
Christ established one Church, and founded it on Peter. You cannot be saved outside of it.
I say this not to crow, but because I care about all souls. If I did not, Jesus would hold me accountable at my judgment.
Right except that There was no Roman Catholic Church until some false Pharisees usurped and continued to persecute true followers. Still teaching false worship to idols, relics, self declaring sainthood and whitewashing tombs of those they murdered.
The catholic church is the whole of all believers who have been born again by The Spirit not by human decision or acts. Born, changed in heart and mind by The Word of Jesus Christ and no others.
Beware that the teachings of (wo)men in positions of authority and influence gain followings with lies that appeal to the selfish nature of all (wo)men.
Can you read your Bible and criticize your teachers? If not then you are just the same sheep that you judge here.
I once had Baptists knock on my door (this was around 20 years ago) and invite me to their church. I said no thanks, I'm Catholic. They said that was okay and I should still come. I said, I'm good. I should have invited them to MY Church. lol
Anthony, this brings up an interesting point. I am a Christian who is a member of a Baptist church. In the past, we would go door to door to talk to people. I never understood why non-Catholics would usually welcome us and thank us for trying to spread the gospel. Catholics would quickly tell us they were members of that church, but seemed to have no common ground with others who only wanted to share their faith (not primarily to invite them to our church). I am supportive of any genuine Christian, even if I don't agree with the denomination they are affiliated with. I'm sorry if you were visited by people who only wanted to invite you to their church. That's not what it is about; it is about a personal relationship with Jesus, the Savior of the world.
So when you went door to door what what was your point? Why is it wrong to get them in your church? Get them thru the door and then work the magic so to speak? Perhaps other things were said to Anthony but sounds like he shut them down pretty quick.
I "shut them down" because I was already set in my relationship with Jesus. Since then, I've had more experience with a Lutheran girlfriend, and a non-denominational mother of a friend, and some of the things I heard them say about Catholics were downright mean and very untrue. As far as I can tell, Catholics pray for a reunifying of all Christians and don't discuss how we are all different. But it sure sounds like other denominations have made a lot of decisions on what Catholics are and do. It's disappointing.
As for us being "a cult", well, cults have religious tendencies but to say Catholics are a cult and other denominations aren't is a head scratcher.
The main point is sharing the gospel. Of course there's nothing wrong with inviting people to church. It was my experience that as soon as Catholics realized we were there representing a church, or Christ, or however they perceived it, the fact that they were Catholic was the end of the conversation. They usually seemed unkind in my opinion.
Yikes, your experience is surely limited to the churches you happened upon. I grew up in Baptist churches that had compassion for people of all faiths and worked with them and sought their good.
And it wasn't just in public. I was a child overhearing how people talked over dinners, etc, and seeing very sincere caring baptist Christians.
When I went through a crisis of faith many years ago with many doubts about God and didn't think I believed in Christ, I thought during that time about how difficult it would be to give up the kindness and support I had known in church.
I wish you could know the warm hearts such people have toward others, including you.
Decades ago, the federal government looked inept to me. Then it looked stupid, then a little corrupt, then completely corrupt but making an effort to not make that too obvious. Now, the corruption is obvious, and the fed knows we know it’s corrupt and lying, and it doesn’t even care that we know. The deep state has something up its sleeve, and it’s confident we won’t be able to do anything about it in November. Whatever it is may be the final test of our determination to restore our Constitutional republic, and our evangelical leaders are not up to the task.
You mean many of the same evangelicals who pushed the covid narrative and cashed in on the covid scam. The church was infiltrated years ago. It's clear they don't teach these days.
Sorry. It’s going to the military industrial complex. No doubt there will be a chunk of it ending up in government officials hands because surely they are heavily invested in such enterprises.
We met last night with missionaries who were in Ukraine until the war began, and who have been helping refugees who fled to Poland since then. The issue of persecution of evangelicals was addressed and they stated that particular group had not been bothered. They reported that churches around the world stepped up and provided aid to Christians in Ukraine. Regardless, this additional money will do nothing to help. Not to mention that we can't afford it, we are ignoring our own border, Congress doesn't care one bit about religious freedom, Mike Johnson and the Republicans are doing nothing but giving in to Democrats, our country is being destroyed by a puppet president who wasn't even elected, serious persecution of Christians in this country is quickly heading our way, etc. etc. I have no hope that this country can recover, apart from God's mercy, which we do not deserve.
I agree with the middle part of your comment, Anne, but not completely with your last sentence. Our successes are also due to God's mercy, so I agree there is no hope outside of that, and we all deserve Hell and damnation, so of course we do not deserve success. But He gave us a world and we must act in it, so we mustn't give in to despair, either.
""Let us therefore rely upon the goodness of the Cause, and the aid of the supreme Being, in whose hands Victory is, to animate and encourage us to great and noble Actions. The Eyes of all our Countrymen are now upon us, and we shall have their blessings, and praises, if happily we are the instruments of saving them from the tyranny mediated against them." – George Washington, General Orders, Headquarters, New York, July 2, 1776; Fitzpatrick 5:211-212
“You must never confuse faith that you will prevail in the end—which you can never afford to lose—with the discipline to confront the most brutal facts of your current reality, whatever they might be.” - Admiral James Stockdale, senior naval officer held as a POW in Vietnam; he was there for over 7 years.
I don't disagree with anything you said, Fla Mom. I am working as hard as I can as a nearly 72 year old grandmother to try to bring about change and to help people be prepared for eternity. I began writing a Substack for that reason. I designed handouts which I leave in public places and give to people I have conversations with. I began wearing a 4" paperclip as a sign of resistance, after seeing Dr. Ryan Cole and MP Andrew Bridgen doing so. The Norwegian people wore paperclips as a sign of resistance in 1940. I write to my elected officials. No matter how little or how much I do, I still have no hope for change, unless God brings it about. My last sentence was meant to convey that after killing 63 million babies and embracing every kind of perversion that can be imagined, this country deserves to be judged. But who knows, God might be merciful. He is sovereign and I trust Him.
Literally the first paragraph about Russia banning churches.
“ Russian occupation authorities have banned the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church and other Catholic ministries in occupied areas of Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia region, according to the church's main communications office in Kyiv.
The UGCC announced on its website Dec. 7 that it had obtained a copy of an order signed by Yevgeny Balitsky, the Kremlin-installed head of the area's military-civil administration, declaring that the UGCC had been banned and its property was to be transferred to his administration.
Also banned by the order were the Knights of Columbus and Caritas, the official humanitarian arm of the universal Catholic Church.
The UGCC said in its statement the document, written in Russian and dated Dec. 26, 2022, had only now come to its attention. An image of the order, which the UGCC said had been published on Balitsky's official website, was included in the UGCC's online statement.
The order declared that the UGCC's activities were in "violation of legislation on religious and public organizations of the Russian Federation."
You said: "You might want to ask yourself why Russia banned Catholic and Greek Orthodox churches".
I denied that they were banning Orthodox churches and pointed out the Greek Catholic Church (the Ukranian Greek Catholic Church) is not Orthodox. i.e., they're Eastern Catholic.
The UGCC is not Greek Orthodox. It is Greek Catholic which are generally Western Ukrainians who follow the Eastern rite, but are under the Pope of Rome.
The banned groups. according to the article, have ties to the Vatican and US intelligence.
Therefore, in a state of war. it is understandable.
The evangelical 'leaders' believe the propaganda and know zilch about history or how the world really works. They, like most Americans, live in a virtual really more of an Alice in Wonderland characterization than not. The words provocation or false flag are not in their vocabulary. Not knowing history includes not knowing 2,000 some years of church history. The church leadership are more ideologues than theologians. And like the government, the churches are largely captured entities, and not autonomous representatives of Christ teaching.
I'll give you a glaring example. As newly minted 'Christians', DeWife and I spent five years in a Baptist country church. Not once did this church teach from the pulpit or in Sunday school from the Baptist Confession of Faith. Not even a single quotation. Not one reference to. We barely knew such a thing existed.
And now, in America, Christianity is largely either Zionist and/or NeoCon establishment churches. Is it any wonder that such churches support Christian hating Zionist or are fine with aiding and abetting government sponsored death campaigns like C19 Health Terrorism. And forget constitutions which are predicated upon God's Law.
Sisters and brothers, we have just been through what is probably the most confusing period in modern history in the West excepting if you were one of those in Europe having bombs dropped on your head in WWII and then it didn't matter if you were English, German or French, it was all the same bombs. We have all been the victims of the largest psyops in human history and those who planned and executed the plandemic have been working on this long before Trump even thought of being a politician. He was no more responsible for the plandemic than Biden was, though Biden willingly went along with it and relished in the power it gave him over us. They are two men cut from entirely different bolts of cloth.
What we have to understand is that we are STILL being victimized by their psyops. They WANT us fighting each other over who is responsible for what happened. At least half of what we think we know is total psyops and misdirection. This is all part of their plan to keep us blind to the truth and to cover their trail. They throw up straw men and false leads and we fall for it, always having our eyes distracted from seeing the actual culprits responsible.
We fell for the lie that there was an actual virus, that it was spreading into a pandemic, that it was deadly, that it originated in some second-rate Chinese lab and that we needed a miracle cure that they somehow managed to cook up, manufacture and were ready to distribute in a matter of WEEKS! IT WAS ALL A LIE! It was all psyops. And still is.
Now they want to keep us fighting with each other over the false rabbit trails they feed us while they roll out their next two phases of their operation: the military take-down of the American people and the conversion of humanity into trans-humanist slaves with no free will. As we speak, a foreign army is being trained, organized and armed inside the US by the Dept of Defense drawn from the over 20 million people that have crossed over our southern border since Biden took office. There are secret military training camps in the interior of the US that are training an army of more than 2 million non-Americans that will be deployed against us when the time is ripe. The fight over the border is just more theater to distract us. The border will never be closed as long as Biden is in office but in any event, the invasion is a fait accompli. It is too late.
The plandemic itself was a military campaign, planned and executed by the US Dept of Defense using politicians and drug companies as fronts. The bio-weapon shot was developed and manufactured long before the "covid" was released, all on Defense Dept contracts under military law. Think about it. Even without direct evidence, no other organization has the capacity, skill set and funding to create such a campaign other than the US Defense Dept. But Dr. David Martin has documented the actual evidence proving all of this. Dr. Ana Mihalcea along with others have documented the proof of the trans-humanist design of the bio-weapon shot. It is heavy reading but if you have not familiarized yourself with their material, then you are uninformed.

America is being invaded and destroyed with the help of our leaders. Michael Yon has spent his life covering wars, so he recognized right away what was happening. Yon joined Tucker to unveil the shadowy nonprofits that are fueling the migrant crisis currently unfolding on our southern border.
Additionally, the geo-engineering/weather modification/chemtrail spraying is also a part of the same plan and is being carried out by the Dept of Defense. The last time the USG went to war against their own people was in 1860. So don't think there is no precedent for what's happening.
We are so far gone that, unfortunately, an all out fight (civil war) may be the only way out of this mess. I've been saying for over 20 years now, that by 2050 or so the United States no longer exists.
Me too. To the degree that I am looking at the current mess as more of an existential threat to democracy than two old guys fighting, neither of whom I particularly like. But POLICY OVER PERSONALITY. What nation will my young grandchildren be living in? I prep for myself but also for loved ones who don't see a threat.
Not just them. It will also be against the real puppet masters. All of them will be brought to a full end. Keep watching, it's already building in all Western nations.
Hey Phil. Thanks for the great post above. You pretty much summed up our predicament, which isn’t easy to do, given the incredible breadth of this operation. It’s beyond explanation at this point. Can you provide us with more links and information on the twenty million “soldiers”? I’d like to research this further. Also, we should be helping people prepare. We fail to do that a lot. In this way, we peddle fear without solutions. Also, in your best guesstimate, when do you personally believe the opening salvo will occur? I hear May or November thrown around a lot.
When estimates are made as to how many have come across the border since Biden took office, they are just guessing. No one is keeping count. I think I have seen "official" estimates of about 10 million... or less. Double that would be closer. I have seen educated guesses of 20 million. Who knows maybe more. Those numbers are less important though than the organized military age men that have come across as coherent groups. Some I'm sure are terrorist cells of different factions. Some are most likely agents of the CCP. They already have CCP police stations in the US cities with the permission of the Marxists in DC. The cartels are already operating in all 50 states and come and go freely. But what is even more concerning than all that is the rumors I have heard of the DoD contracting for the military training of 2 million men. These kind of things never stay secret for long. There is always a paper trail because it has to be paid for. It's logical the Marxists would recruit from the illegals now that they have finished culling the American military. They could build a separate force loyal only to them for the promise of money and citizenship who would have no loyalty to Americans. We have all seen the videos of the big white, unmarked busses that meet these groups of military age men right at the fence, load them up and then disappear heading north never to be seen again. Two plus two equals...what?
I'm increasingly believing it's possible we end up with two separate countries. At least for a while, until the leftist half falls apart and collapses under the weight of its own corruption and bad policies. I could see an "old Capital" in DC and a "new Capital" in a red state. (Amazing that this leftist mind virus just won't go away and keeps doing the damage that it does. Didn't Europe and Eastern Europe just go through all this?)
In the most recent youtube video by southernprepper1, he was so dismayed he said he doesn't feel the love to vote for Trump nor to fly the US flag anymore (based on Trump supporting Speaker Johnson's corrupt vote for every border but our own).
I wish I knew that too. I wish I knew the back story. Every single time the Republican leadership has capitulated, there seems to be "a good reason" and this may be the case. But there is ALWAYS "a good reason" and those "good reasons" never seem to swing in favor of the Republicans. And I am sick of it. So while, in this case, there may be a good reason (and if Trump does support Johnson on this it probably means Trump sees a way to hang this around the democrats neck at election time) I understand the frustration of the freedom wing of the Republican party.
People are doing gymnastics trying to understand his support of FISA and Ukraine aid etc. When do we see the Emperor Wears no Clothes? Take a step back and just look with a neutral mind.
So, should we start looking at Kennedy with some seriousness as a collective. I prefer some Libertarian ideology as I am sick to death of all the meddling in my business and regress of our personal freedoms. Just throwing it out there.
Libertarian Party has been confiscated and sabotaged. That is direct form someone who was very active in the Libertarian Party for years. They are a no-go right now unfortunately. (just fyi)
Just look at the candidate that everyone is smearing and trying to blot out. That is the unfavorable pick of the elites and the Agenda. All this nit picking about this little issue and that is doesn't matter right now. We need someone in office who speaks for the American People and the Constitution...someone who has a lifetime of service and work behind them to prove that is where they stand, someone with incredible intelligence about our government and also who is willing to listen to and work with others with different views, someone not afraid of death, who can reject bribes, someone who has spent 40 years developing a strong faith and trust in God.
So to answer your question "Yes." At least consider it.
So the “tell” for me was when the Covid vaccine became available so quickly. My intuition immediately knew something was off - meanwhile stadiums began to fill with the masses, lines of cars waiting for hours to get the s h o t. Things a are getting scary —
Right! It takes 8-10 years to develop a vaccine. Since they only had months, they decided to use a new technology….AND the vaccine would continuously make your body produce the toxic spike protein—-NO THANK YOU!
I agree with all of this except that it’s a foregone conclusion. I know plenty of real men that are ready to fight and kill the invaders. I believe it’s way more than a few million. And those pos’ have no allegiance to anything.
The fight will come when the invaders try to impose their will by force on us. Then we will know who to target as the enemy combatant.
The best estimate I've seen is that over 20 million people have come across the border since Biden took office. I do think deportation is impossible. The effort will be separating those who are subversive and/or criminal elements from those who truly desire to become patriotic Americans. Those we need to recruit to our side.
It is my understanding - which is an open question - that the Marxist USG DoD is training 2+ million non-American recruits who they have imported over the border. Another guess is that this is happening at remote 2 or 3 locations in the western part of the country and is being performed by the same military contractors who support overseas operations of the US military. These men will not be the violent mobs of illegal aliens in the inner cities. These will be well armed military units which will be used against the American people whose only loyalty will be to the ones giving them their paychecks. They will have no moral reticence at shooting Americans.
I would be in favor of that if it was logistically possible. I have my doubts about that. However, they all need to be identified and required to go through the process of becoming a citizen. Those that do not take that option should then be hunted down for deportation. If you don't allow that option, then you are left with trying to hunt down all 20 million. But the screening should be thorough and rigorous.
I dunno.....the US is NOTHING if not creative! Just look at this creativity from C&C, 26Apr:
"The United States has never before confiscated the sovereign assets of another nation [all over the world] in the absence of a formally declared war. The asset seizure targeting Russian assets is unprecedented, historic, and utterly new. "
Seems to me like rounding up a couple million people WITHIN OUR OWN BORDERS would be a piece of cake!
And these people need to stay close to home. An EMP will shut us off in the blink of an eye, unarmed on some cruise ship or in a big city full of landlocked starving people.
It’s still frightens me that Trump has not said one word about how deadly and damaging the shots are. He could have easily said he had been lied to and that if he knew then what everyone knows now, he would’ve done something about it. And he could stand for ending, those horrible shots and the mRNA platform, which is killing people as we speak, and which will be used for new shots, and will always cause terrible auto immune reactions. Not to be the frightening DNA contamination. I believe he will welcome big Pharma campaign contributions into his campaign coffer.
He may well say that, and I hope he does, after he is elected. The logic is simple. Because of the psyops, the majority of his base took the shot. If he came out and took that position now, he would alienate a large part of his base because people will not want to accept the truth. You know what I'm talking about. No one wants to look in the mirror and think he is the walking dead because he took the shot or that he harmed his children.
Trump is out of office and cannot do anything about this. However, DeSantis IS the Governor and has the authority to ban the bio-weapon. He needs to perform his duty yet he has not.
Trump is part of the duopoly. People are doing gymnastics trying to understand his support of FISA and Ukraine aid etc. He is part of the problem....and an opportunist. When do we see the Emperor Wears no Clothes? Take a step back and just look with a neutral mind.
You are spot on! I think the set off will be an EMP they will blame on Russia or China.
It will lock up all the roads and highways instantly with traffic jams. Joe's handlers might do this soon to declare martial law and stop the election. We all know he isn't in charge. He is just another moron prince turned into a king.
I would seriously advise staying at home this summer. Hell to be stranded but worse if you can't get back home.
Colonel Doug MacGregor (ret) makes it clear that the country as we know it is over (it is already gone, but most of us have not yet realized that yet). We have been living in a post-Constitutional country since at least 2016.
IMO we cannot vote our way out of this. We just need to prepare for the inevitable crisis. Out of crisis (which will include a lot of pain) something new will emerge. It will be the next generation that will bring this about, helped along by elder patriots providing guidance.
"We have all been the victims of the largest psyops in human history and those who planned and executed the plandemic have been working on this long before Trump even thought of being a politician."
And more are coming.....from every angle.
The WHO "vote" re: global Pandemic "Treaty" is in 4 weeks, during the last week of May. The last "vote" re the amendments to this abomination were passed by the WHO even though several countries voted against it.
This world is not our final destination. It's a testing/training ground to learn to recognize your King's voice, ways, and goals. Do you trust that He is working and has a VERY GOOD PLAN? You are either on His side or against Him but He cannot lose the battle or those He has chosen as His own ppl. Be what you are, where you are.
Acts 13:47-49 ...the Lord commanded us, saying, I have set thee for a light of the Gentiles, That thou shouldest be for salvation unto the uttermost part of the earth. And as the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the Word of God: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed. And the word of the Lord was spread abroad...
Indeed! I always ask God to remember that we still have many God fearing Christians living in this nation (of ALL faith traditions😉), and to have mercy on our country and help us, atleast for that. After we all die off and the non church going, often atheist generations take over. I don't know. ...
That didn’t work out too well for the Jews in line for “showers” in World War ll. I believe in prayer, but unfortunately history has shown me a gun or a generator are important real-world tools.
If you're interested, there is much homework to be done in follow up. Start with the referenced book. If you're awake to the multiple psyops of recent decades, the truth as unraveled in this work - involving obfuscation and cover up over several generations - will be easier to swallow though still possibly shocking initially. If still bought into the weave of the matrix, it is yet another thing to disparage. Your choice.
And our food supply is under attack as well. Livestock and eventually crops getting mRna injections. Now bird flu is spreading. Food processing plants catching fire and wildfires taking out ranches.
An even bigger issue for me, even bigger than the really big issues here is that - Biden is in charge of the NUCLEAR CODES!
It beggars belief that he could launch nuclear weapons - he needs no other authority - yet he doesn't even know where he is most of the time! And he's up for re-election! This is INSANE! And Kamala would be no better.
Meanwhile Israel and Iran - two nuclear powers - are squaring up - with Russia and China on the sidelines. It's happening! WAKE UP AMERICA!
Soz, doesn't quite work like that. Recommend reading, Nuclear War - A Scenario, by Annie Jacobsen. It's a second by second countdown.
The protocols are all in place and literally thousands of Americans are ready at a moment's notice to respond with 1,670 nukes on hair trigger readiness. He would get SIX minutes to decide against a threat. And once launched, ICBMs cannot be recalled. No one can over-ride his decision, which he alone makes.
This shit is real! He has advancing dementia! Kamala is an idiot!
I don't know what is going on in the WH but Biden doesn't take a shit without getting permission. My money is on Obama and the Marxist General staff that backs him.
Richard Maybury of The Early Warning Report is famous for saying "Power corrupts the morals and the judgement." And we are told by God that "the love of money is the root of all evil." Those two understandings explains everything.
Thank you for the reminder. I saw a video on this an it was heart breaking. Oh the horrible things going on in the world. I should think twice before complaining and appreciate the blessings I have.
And our greatest ally, Israel, was the biggest proponent, pumping money and arms into Azerbaijan to help defeat the dwindling Christian hold on the area. Yet western Christians turn their heads to this atrocity.
For some odd reason, you'll see them behind all Christian atrocities. I think the Talmud makes it clear why. This is also why they spit on Christian who visit Israel. Rev 2:9/3:9
Oh, I know along with many more like Holodomor. They regained their freedom and status after the French Revolution. For nearly 1000 years, they were kept in check until that revolution happened. I just wish others would actually go research it instead of leaning on the lies they were taught.
It's the same people screwing up the world for thousands of years. There is nothing new under the sun. I look forward to Obidiah 18 and it can't be too far off into the future.
Reading this today made me feel like Im in the twilight zone, the corruption going on in America is astounding, I believe every "Republican" who voted for the bill to waste billions on foreign countries are compromised in some way, why else would they totally ignore their own border for a foreign border.
JFK was going to do 3 things. Expose the puppet masters, bring back gold backed currency, and make the ADL register as a foreign agent. All of these are tied together. He got suicided for it.
I heard a former congressman on talk radio last week. He was telling the truth about how DC really works. He is running for senate now. He said most representatives don't read the bills, don't really know what is in them and aren't really paying attention. They are told how to vote by those "in charge" like Schumer, Pelosi, Graham, McConnell, etc and they are threatened with their positions if they don't fall in line.
Maybe they're doing it to see if we're paying attention?
Call me crazy but I think their contempt for We The People is so deep we're at the point where they're telegraphing lies and saying:
"What are you gonna do about it?"
They seem to get a kick out of how squalid the happiness of their constituents looks in comparison to the overcompensations of misery they deliver to their voter's.
If it feels deliberate...that's because it is...it's exactly how they want us to feel.
After denying any middle school humor (I thought did Jeff have a guest writer today?) there came the jokes. The “schlong time” almost made me inhale my coffee.
I should have resisted the urge to slip in my comment today, but I couldn’t resist, sorry. Jeff’s penetrating account of Mr. Pecker’s opening testimony* I found arousing. In any event, it’s clear that the prosecution is dicking around attempting to influence the “members” of the jury. Heaven only knows what’ll come of the act, but I suspect it’ll be a sticky situation. On the other hand, it might just Peter out like many things do.
*The very word fits right in with today’s phallic theme: the word comes from “testis” which is of course part of the male anatomy. The sperm, er term, originated from anceint custom (Hebrew?) where a man touched that part of his anatomy to affirm an oath.
So wait. This FTC rule about non competes is illegal because it didn’t go through congress, but the Title IX rule last week is lawful? Wasn’t that just a rule change within an agency too? And what about Biden’s loan ‘relief’ BS? That definitely didn’t get congressional approval, and the Supreme Court shot it down the first time he tried it. I don’t know the law, someone help me understand.
I was telling my wife this just last night when she asked about something similar. They’re going to go ahead and do it, knowing it’s illegal. By the time it works its way through the court system, it’ll be too late and people will have largely forgotten about it.
And _still_ refuse to prescribe/fill, with pharmacists using the conscience clause to avoid filling it now. (The one originally put in place to try to protect those who were pro-life from filling abortion scrips.)
Just another reason by the case against Chevron deference before SCOTUS is so damn important. Maybe the most important case SCOTUS has heard in the last 100 years.
Thank you for sharing the link. Very scary what TPTB are doing to him. His GiveSendGo shows almost 100kCAD, that's so awesome! I agree on a multiplier. In the meantime, here's the link to donate now. https://www.givesendgo.com/GANZA
The shrinking manpower problem in Ukraine is what we in America should be most concerned with after Biden’s SOTU speech in which he proclaimed, “I am determined to keep American troops out of Ukraine.” They always tell you- if you listen.
The problem is no one wants to sign up. There was a poll on X with thousands of votes asking about a draft. There were 4 choices, and I was surprised to see that nearly 70% of those who voted said they would fight their own government before being drafted or allowing their sons and daughters to be drafted.
And it's like that for all NATO countries. There's some interviews of the new Muslim and African 'immigrants' in England, who all say they don't identify as British nor would they ever fight for them. A refrain repeated in France, Germany, and everywhere.
They consider us their enemies. You could say they are an enemy of our enemy. I bet you know who opened the gates of Spain back in the day. The same ones opening the gates into all Western nations today. I know who they really are as they have even admitted it in 5 of their own historical writings. All nations that come against us will be brought to a full end. That's guaranteed.
When I was in school, a lot of teacher were packing heat and half of the male students had a rifle hanging in the back window of their pickups. We never worried about school shootings. It wasn't until schools became "gun free" zones that the bad people with guns started shooting kids. How many of these people who are terrified of guns would put a sign out on their lawn that says, "gun free zone"?
Was just going to reply to Rob D that these school shootings also coincided almost 100% with the roll-out of SSRIs to the general public, handing them out like candy for garden-variety teenage hormonal issues and "depression" (which has been expanded from its original meaning of debilitating, almost catatonic low functioning to just general everyday sadness or disappointment). It's clear the SSRIs are causing most of the mass shootings, and probably a large chunk of the more recent "trans" delusion. And it's clear they don't work for "depression" or "anxiety" since it's been proven there is no link to serotonin. So, what exactly do the SSRIs do and why do doctors keep handing them out?
RU, when I was on my in-patient psych rotation in medical school in the '80s, there was a patient whom I found funny, because he would say intentionally-amusing things in conversation with the psych team. He never seemed depressed to me, but the psychiatrist assured me he was. Any of them who declined to take the prescribed drugs would go to court in the basement of the hospital, where the judge would hear both sides and always come down on the side of the psychiatrists.
Drug pushers. I think the entire discipline of Psychology went off the rails in the 70s or so when they decided to politicize the field. They made their best thinkers with the most useful theories into pariahs b/c they were white men who said that the family unit and spiritual systems were both extremely relevant to psychological health. This was intolerable for the leftists, who want the family unit and spiritual systems to be subjugated to the State or dissolved altogether. Of course, this destroyed the ideological relevance of Psychology, turned it into a bit of a laughing stock for a while, and then relegated the field to being the handmaiden of modern Psychiatry and its medicalization of everything. I think our society as whole is now suffering the consequences of this. If it can't be drugged into silence, then it is to be affirmed, enabled, and celebrated as a "diverse" way of living. Even if it results in death.
In a recent Tucker interview with Jesse someone, Jesse stated that one of the biggest threats we have are single white liberal women who are mentally unstable due to ‘mental health’ drugs. I’m paraphrasing but the guy was right. They’re sad, or they’re anxious so they take a pill, and if that pill doesn’t work well, you can take another pill to help the first one work better!
That was the talk radio host from TX that Tucker interviewed. And he was right. If you look at polling, upper middle class and upper class, higher wealth, higher educated, white women are pretty much THE stronghold demographic for all of the insanity: the genital mutilation of children; the virtue-signaling NIMBY support for the illegal invasion; the attacks on free speech and 1A; "vaccine" tyranny; all of it. That is the demo that is driving all of this.
I thought the trans thing would turn them to sanity when it became their own child that was being groomed (b/c most of what they advocate is virtue-signaling and NIMBY in nature), but they shocked me by actually proudly offering up their own children for the sacrifice. The combo of indoctrination in college and mental degradation caused by pills seems to be taking a toll.
As for the drugs, yeah, they're even advertised and marketed that way now: if your "antidepressant" isn't working, you can add this other drug to help it work better...double-down on the stupidity, I guess.
I know. Those who call it out are quickly demonized. I think the stat I saw was SSRI use had an over 90% correlation with mass shootings. (IIRC this was via Midwestern Doctor's Substack.) Truth can't be suppressed forever. It's also pretty obvious: if something causes suicidal ideation in some, it will certainly also cause homicidal ideation in others.
🎯🎯🎯! And like suicide, the SSRIs give them the energy to “pull the trigger” so to speak. The truly suicidal, off meds, are usually too depressed and “down” to act. It’s well known that the danger is when the depression first starts to lift. If that isn’t proof of cause and effect…
It's pretty amazing how gun-free zones really just put up a sign saying "you can shoot anyone here without danger". Schools are the worst for that, but there are other places that think somehow putting up a sign will stop (checks notes) criminals who want to cause harm. We also get the great demonstration of what happens when you get some cowards in charge like in Uvalde where the police actively worked to stop parents from going in to rescue their kids while just meandering around the halls and refusing to do anything they were supposedly "trained" to do. To my knowledge, there are still few consequences for that mess for all of the cowards who sat by to let kids die.
Agreed. One of our daughters is a teacher and having grown up in the country shooting critters is a crack shot and would not be afraid to defend her students given the chance. Sadly she is in communist Colorado and gun control keeps getting tighter there. No gun zone signs may as well be followed by psycho shooters welcome. How much dumber can we get…
Man, you must have suffered as a child. My own surname was too close to the infant word for urine, so I am aware. Fortunately, as a female, I was able to change my name upon marriage.
Who do they think they are fooling? Those munitions will quickly be sent to Ukraine.
Years ago I took work trip to DC. Our CEO was a very well connected individual, and we received an after hours, nearly unrestricted, tour of the capital. (I even took a seat in the Speakers chair which was strangely uncomfortable and uneven.) While many people taking such tours report feeling "awe and reverence", I could not escape the feeling of "being slimed". The karma around that building is nauseating.
My distaste for DC politicians has only been strengthened since then. The US, and probably the world, would be better off if a massive asteroid took out the capital.
I don't know how it would be done legislatively, but I would implore President Trump, after he is re-elected and if he is allowed to take office, to move almost all agencies out of DC and spread them around the country. Now that work from home is pretty normal, there is lots of available office space.
Dept of Education to Boise ID.
Dept of Agriculture to Midland TX.
Dept of Commerce to Fargo ND.
Dept of Transportation to Ripon WI.
DoJ to Bangor ME.
Dept of Energy to Hattiesburg MS
Dept of State to Kansas City KS.
Dept of Homeland Security to Henderson, NV (near folks that actually know about security)
But keep everything out of CA, OR, WA, MN, IL, and NY.
Disband them all…except Transportation. Infrastructure matters. Ditch Mayor Pete and slash the dept to its bare bones. Take a page from Milei’s playbook. Most govt agencies are unnecessary money drains….
For whoever suggested the Tucker Carlson podcast as a way to listen to many of his interviews, thank you. Your suggestion was the Bob Amsterdam interview, but I found that to be more of Tucker’s usual style of high drama in setting the corruption table for Ukraine. Amsterdam visited Ukraine telling how horrific Christians are being treated, but still voted for the “package”. Enough of that alphabet soup of reasons. But as I looked at more of Tucker’s interviews, I came across one with Pastor Doug Wilson of Moscow, Idaho. As Tucker can sometimes do; it was like flipping a switch. He quietly interviewed this traditional pastor on all manner of where Christianity in the US has been, is now, and is heading. I agreed with virtually everything Pastor Wilson talked about. He is eminently worth listening to and Tucker did an excellent job of just letting him talk, in ways that all Americans can get. An hour of talk that made my day.
I thought the section where he talked about how one's religious beliefs condition one's mind and one's expectations of society was particularly interesting. Much higher level philosophical thought than I was expecting in a relatively short interview.
I was listening (we were) to that Sunday a.m. Since we don't go to church anymore, some of these things supply an appropriate message (though I do miss singing)
When Pastor Wilson spoke on a “new hunger for God” he had not seen in 30 years. He spoke of how when covid shut down churches across the Nation, it flipped a switch for many latent Christians. Something was wrong with that picture. Christian churches should have been leading the way forward instead of hiding in fear. Then was when I had the same feeling. I had been perfectly happy attending a traditional Lutheran church. I even worked part time at the school there. The Pastor and I often talked about the 2016 election and all that went on in the government. None of this was ever mentioned from the pulpit. Politics was never spoken about. We prayed for government leadership, but no names were ever mentioned. When the lockdown started, it was like my church was in prison. No word emanated from them on social media. After the first month they started streaming canned organ hymns and a message from the pastor. In that first month, a pastor from a non denominational country church I knew started doing short messages along with his wife from his farmhouse table. What he talked about was a lifeline. He and his wife got it. They reopened their church within a month. I attended the second Sunday they were reopened. It was quite the eye opener. A very good large praise band versus the traditional organ music and no one singing of my traditional church. Everyone hugging and few, if any masks. But the clincher was the pastor and his Biblical basis for everything. We are encouraged to read the Bible and understand it. My traditional church reopened two months later. The pastor would not wear a mask and did not demand anyone else wear one, but attendance was small and well over half were masked. This persisted into 2021 and beyond. The school reopened the fall of 2020, children and staff masked, per this state’s demands. I never went back to work there. I told myself at least they were open, as much of this state kept school’s closed until the fall of 2021, but I felt like we just gave in. After four years, I now attend both churches. We can usually attend a Saturday evening service in one and a Sunday morning in another. It doesn’t always work perfectly but I am in corporate worship every Sunday. When we travel now, I do not hesitate to find a nearby church and experience it. One of the strong points Pastor Wilson made was corporate worship is important and WE are the change within our churches. A thriving church is one that invites ALL to come visit.
We were living in Seattle during the pandemic, and most of our friends we met at church. When the state shut everything down, our former large urban church and our current, small neighborhood church complied - with canned services over zoom.
A few churches defied the rules and remained open or quickly resumed in-person services, but they were all the kind where you have to wear earplugs so you don’t go deaf during the “singing”. We tried a few and just couldn’t stomach it.
I never realized how important corporate worship is until it was taken away, and “zoom church” is just no substitute. You can’t replace meeting together, singing and praying together. In the same room. But as a classical musician, I just can’t do praise bands.
We now live in AZ and go to a conservative traditional Lutheran church every Sunday. Most of our friends in Seattle don’t go to church anymore. They got used to having two days off to sleep in and do what they want. It is very sad.
Aren’t our taxes supposed to pay to replenish our military supplies?! What they really mean is 75% goes into the lobbyists and military contractor’s pocket.
If they can just print money whenever they need it, why are we paying taxes? It's a scheme to keep you poor. NO one paid any taxes before 1913. Income tax was found to be unconstitutional, and they stopped collecting until they implemented it again.
1862 IRS first formed for Civil War tax under Lincoln. Income tax was between 3% to 7.5%
1871 Income tax repealed as unconstitutional
1894 Income tax act reestablished by congress at 2%
1895 Supreme Court abolishes income tax as unconstitutional.
1913 Income tax / 16th Amendment / Federal Reserve Act passed in the middle of the night on Dec 24th with half of congress out. Tax rate was 1% to 7%

Tennessee is giving Florida a run for most sane state with common sense legislation lately! Love to see more states bucking the idiocracy that is taking over.
Yes, we also passed a bill prohibiting the spraying of the skies, but unfortunately it doesn’t take effect until July. Yesterday morning we had a gorgeous blue sky, and then the crisscross of multiple planes spraying the skies over our lake by afternoon. Today is cloudy and gray. Pisses me off that they are still screwing with Mother Nature. I only hope that it will actually cease in July.
I noticed the criss-crossed skies as well. Very disturbing. I'm not sure how they can get them to stop. If they want to do it, they will just ignore the law like they ignore the constitution.
TN right now has legislation they are trying to pass on nullification of federal laws that are unconstitutional. TN Citizens for State Sovereignty (TNCSS) has a Substack and website and is run by David Vance and Karen Bracken. Supports many new laws that will help TN protect its sovereignty and citizens.
I am angry at the naivete of evangelical leaders who think the $61 billion will be used to secure religious freedom in Ukraine or that it will do anything except enrich politicians.

I am angry that American funds are going to other countries. We need to take care of our own. We didn't make the mess over there and it is not our job to stop it when we have problems in our own house.
Actually, we probably did make the mess over there.
yup... the head of NATO — NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg — admitted that in a speech to the European Parliament :
https://www.commondreams.org/opinion/nato-chief-admits-expansion-behind-russian-invasion
Aiding and abetting armed conflicts worldwide is what our Federal government and the graft greedy NEOCON LEGISLATORS have been doing for many DECADES. It's why BRICS is going to explode and our 'paper dollars' will be fodder for the BRICS BATTALION - China and Russia (the 'dragon' and the 'bear') are mentioned in Revelations concerning Armageddon (the last big military onslaught fought on the Plains of Megiddo in the Holy Land.) Biden (actually the 3RD OBAMA administration) are working 'fist in glove' to DESTROY AMERICA! It's working my C & C Army buds!! KEEP PRAYING FOR A GOD MIRACLE!!
There are approximately 30 Support Ukraine lawn signs within a 6 block radius of my house. They stand out. There is a very active Support Ukraine group in my area. For the most part these signs are at democrat homes, based on previous lawn signs.
I'm still a grain of mustard.
Today's Coffee and Covid should be required reading on Capital Hill. The Ukraine flag waving in Congress is so obscene.
Something is coming on the God/Biblical scale timeline. Whether it is a miracle or something else, I don't know.
Your presence on any Internet platform is obscene. You’re an obvious silicon chip Putin cocksleeve sock puppet
Yes..I know what you mean - I feel it in my Holy Spirit instilled heart and mind, Michael!!
There’s a line at wish opinion becomes a delusion. Your passed it three ZIP Codes ago.
We thought we knew what was going on in the world....
Excellent article. Thanks for link!
Correct! We did! 2014.
There is major conflict all over the world and we do nothing!!! Doesn’t take a genius to figure out why America is so interested in Ukraine?
think sex and human trafficking, money laundering, CIA, Hunter Biden, Burisma... BIO LABS making gain of function, Organ Harvesting..
Lying Russian agitprop PSY op #NewsForDumbFox unconnected to reality talking points. All you got?
LOL
sorry what? do you speak English too?
Think you are special. That’s what we need to think. Like before Reagan you would’ve been furnished room on extra thick wallpaper. Two personal servers and special jacket
Think Blackrock.
To paraphrase, Rome (the world) is burning and Nero (Brandon) is dancing
As if we are any worse off than win the fat orange seditionist insurrection inciting money laundering rapist Putin Cocksleeve yam was in office?
The giant Ukraine money laundering machine.
That can’t be comfortable having Putin‘s cock in your throat 24 seven….
Riiiight.
No it doesn’t. It’s obvious that we do not want a psychotic madman aggressive or criminal militarily annexing neighbors.
Exactly. Putin is a threat to civilization. Doesn’t take a genius. Also doesn’t take a genius to see why were in the Middle East facilitating genocide in crimes against humanity pretty fucked up dynamic there.
Yes, can anyone spell CIA?
Sometimes I think that CIA stands for Communism In America.
Communist Intel Agency. Yours works too. Both are accurate.
Sad but so!
Nothing is communist in this country. Absolutely nothing. U2 have just notified the world that you are dumber than a box of rocks. And that’s insulting the gravel in my driveway….
You don’t think straight.

thank you. the MAIN PROBLEM in our world today. GOTTA GO.
But HOW? They own most of DC.
The biggest drug cartel so the govt jails their competition.
Can anyone spell ‘Putin Cocksleeve Ajit from Fat poppet’?
Think Victoria Newland in 2014.
Neuland has a LOT to answer for.
Ditto that !
Yea, I'd bet big $'s the US is neck-deep in instigating much of it.
Missing in Jeff's foreign funding description, there's $9B in it for Gaza which, we all know will land in the hands of hamas. We're helping to fund both sides while Blinken & Biden are busy releasing billions in sanctioned money to Iran which, also funds ME terrorists.
Both sides of that conflict engage in terrorism.
As does the United States. The USA destabilized Ukraine, Libya, Iraq, and Afghanistan. All of those places are worse off from American endeavors.
So picking just Hamas as the bad guys is short sighted.
Did you know Israel founded Hamas? (as a counterweight to the PLO).
https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2023/11/21/world/israel-failed-policy/
Yes, I'm aware Israel created hamas. I'm also aware the US created our CIA, FBI, and other intelligence agencies and look where we’re at. We created monsters.
Yep. We have met the enemy, and he is us.
Or so to speak.
Ain't that the truth ... and "look where we're at."
I'm encouraged by so many C & C-ers not just gobbling up the government crap like greedy pigs at a trough. And actually bothering themselves to look into things.
Israel has been engaged in terrorism against the indigenous populations of the Middle East since 1947-1948 and has never let up.
The USS LIBERTY…how some people forget, or never knew in the first place.
But what’s the full story?
Lies
Not so. They are and always have been indigenous, and the massacres started with Arabs attacking people in their homes. Wars happen. Some people win, some people lose. My ancestors were burned at the stake in Switzerland and had to leave their homes and immigrate. We're not demanding repatriation of our property. Tragedy, war, displacement happens. Israel has a right to be a nation and they have the strength to make it happen. People need to get over it.
Check on that ‘indigenous’ comment.
Blind Sighted!
I still think that the captured USG and Israel colluded to stir up the hornet's nest. And that their little pet project rapidly blew up on them.
You mean like NOW? The USG and Israel are tied at the hip. I would say the same thing about Ukraine. Although, I do think that the history in regard to Israel goes back MUCH further.
Not only now, but ever since the inception of Israel ... and before.
The year was 1960. And the movie was Exodus, produced and directed by Otto Preminger. All one could hear or see from sea to shining sea were vinyl records and sheet music pouring out, "This land is mine. God gave this land to me." The whole Zionist synagogue showed up at a the Zionist owned movie theater in my town with a specially roped off section. And if you wanted to ever see a show of solidarity, this was it. I was eleven years old at the time and this is one of those indelible mental impressions which never left my mind.
Project Israel was a promotion before and after the Balfour Declaration. And not a good one for American, America and the world in general.
My Uncle Ben married a Jewish woman named Camille sometime after his wife Grace died. Both Camille and Uncle Ben were Christian Scientists which is how they met. Sometime in the early 1980s, I went with my mother to Ft. Lauderdale to visit them. I remember my mother and Camille talking politics and Camille saying that the establishment of Israel was the worst thing that could have happened to the Jewish people. The remark kind of stunned me at the time. I guess that we are now beginning to see why Camille said what she did.
Your statement about Ukraine are ridiculous. Simply associating them with other dynamics which are true does not make it so. Lame. Putin fluffer boi is not gonna look good on your résumé…
Exactly. Nothing like funding both sides of a war. That makes total sense...if you are a politician getting kickbacks.
It's the same logic by which Big Pharma promote all kinds of shots and drugs, cause illness and then sell the cure. Who suffers? People. They are draining away the wealth of the middle classes.
Kind of like sacrificing to Baal in the temple itself.
Same thing they did in WW1 and 2..the money people in the US
Little orphan Annie - Remember Daddy Warbucks!
Or a global banker.
I had met a wealthy man last century. He was donating to both D and R politicians. Being young and naive I asked why, and he replied "that way whoever wins I have an in"
I guess he knew the game
Zelensky is rumored to have already purchased a mansion in south Florida.
Lots of rich tyrants get a nice place down there.
He'll need to flee to it pretty soon, as after May 21 (if I recall correctly) is the last day of his term. Then his risk increases of a coup or worse.
Zelensky reportedly has mansions in Florida and London, and his parents reside in Israel. His goal of making Ukraine the "Big Israel" isn't going real well.
He has. Also one in Italy (that is rented to Russians), Pretty sure he has others too. Mother in law has a $4.5 million mansion in Egypt on the Red Sea. The local journalist who broke the story was murdered .
I saw a 30 second clip of about 1 per second shots of mansions around the world belonging to Zelensky's clan and ranking Ukraine officials. Just a start. The Rothschilds funded the French, British, and Germans in WW1, and the Allies won because they borrowed (owed) more). They always, always fund both sides. Just like stockbrokers who make money when you buy, or sell stock
IMHO, funding both sides and profiting from war is nothing new but we are paying attention now. I realize everything is misinformation on some level and if anyone exposes something the powers-that-be don't like, they are eliminated by various methods.
Our only hope is in Jesus, and He can change anything in a moment, even a man's heart. I figure I will do my best where I am at, and make a little difference and others can do the same making a big difference overall. Evil will always work to corrupt anything good as long as it exists. It has been since the beginning.
We have been giving Israel money for decades. Hamas was created by Israel to create conflict so they have a reason to destroy, occupy, and take over their "homeland." They want the Palestinians out. They created an apartheid state making it a living hell for the Palestinians and they can't leave if they wanted to.
RON PAUL 2009: ISRAEL CREATED HAMAS https://www.bitchute.com/video/ABVA8bDlBqTd/
ISIS is another interesting one.
They seem to be a USA/Israel creature.
The only victims of ISIS are opponents of USA/Israel. A very convenient 'terrorism' group who shows up destabilize areas that give cover the the USA to get involved. US troops in Syria and western Iraq is one example.
We fund and arm ISIS. We simply rebaptize them as “moderate rebels” then get them to do our dirty work. But we don’t mind, or look the other way when they slaughter millions of Syrian christians. What’s that to Blinken and other neocons. They don’t care. Currently we illegally occupy one third of Syria and nobody cares. I’m so disgusted with American foreign meddling I could scream. Remember Bush’s Shock and Awe campaign ? Instant death for tens of thousands of Iraqis. And now instant death for tens of thousands of Gazans, or slow starvation . And we wonder why they all hate us over there.
CIA interventions are the main source of destabilization of countries, which is the cause of our Immigration problem, or at least a fig leaf for the more organized interests with their own agenda.
without CIA regime changes our world would be much more peaceful and stable.
I no longer want to be called an American, or a Republican, or a Democrat, or a Conservative, etc. I am an Earthling.
I’m disgusted at “humanity” right now. Being awake is a real bitch.
The US is used to control others because we are profitable, and we the people really have no power to stop it. Just look at what happened with Speaker Johnson...
Because they are powerful, who can go against them? I like Trump but he supports serious NWO plans like the jab and biometric tracking. He is not what I thought.
I have to trust God and not any man's plan to clean the swamp. I hope things are getting better but evil will always invade since God has not wiped it from the earth yet.
We still must battle evil and do good.
None of that is connected to fuck in reality. Go the fuck away, lying POS
Israeli Secret Intelligence Service it is called by those in the know.
It seems to me, all groups and agencies are created for nefarious reasons.
Historically, what nation or civilization has stood the test of time without being destroyed... mostly from the inside through infiltration and polluting the people's minds by those with money and power?
Most people just want to live in peace, work, and raise a family.
The 1% seek to control and destroy that. They do it little by little by encouraging hedonistic behavior that always ends in self destruction which is the opposite of what the Bible teaches.
hedonism -
Pursuit of or devotion to pleasure, especially to the pleasures of the senses.
The ethical doctrine holding that only what is pleasant or has pleasant consequences is intrinsically good.
The doctrine holding that behavior is motivated by the desire for pleasure and the avoidance of pain
I sure am glad to see so many posts here today like yours. It raises my spirits some.
The 100 year Rothschild playbook.
No well I suppose indirectly because Netanyahu funds Hamas
Just like every war…
Sorry......I have to agree with most everyone here.....and I'm actually NOT sorry.
We need to stay out of everyone else's business. The world would be a much better, safer, place, on many, many levels.
Victoria Nuland 10 years ago.
Nudelman ... a Khazarian with a sanitized name.
Consider how many other countries tax their citizens and send money to the U.S.
And tell your address corporate tax rates, shut up about the money. Seriously
Not to mention that we're broke.
Reportedly ringing up a trillion in more debt every hundred days. And this is supposed to end well??
We funded Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran. So yeah. We funded that mess over there.
I repeat, until you address the corporate tax rate, shut up about the money.
My biggest problems with this are;
* Although we aren’t sending troops, our financial support indicates we are fighting this war, IMHO. Our constitution requires the approval of Congress to declare war.
* Our politicians borrowed the money for these weapons. Like Rand Paul said, Israel has less debt than us - let THEM borrow the money.
* In the end, this is just one big money laundering scheme. I hope the Russians burn down everything Zelensky bought with our tax money.
And how screwed are we by our government? Is any of it real?

Okay, nut job.
See my reply directly above.
Israel’s finding should’ve been removed decades ago.
We should’ve helped Ukraine but also with logistics and strategy not just weapons. That could be over by now.
If any of you actually gave a shit about the money you’d be calling for 845% flat rate income tax on corporate publicly traded businesses which could not only wipe out the entire national debt in less than a decade, but allow mom and Pop to compete again. Zip it!
Somewhat but mostly military industrial complex big stakeholders.
American funds aren’t going to other countries. Over 90% of it never leaves our borders. It goes to weapons contractors and manufacturers of them. Fuck, the stupidity I’m on the right wing nut jobs as ubiquitous. No wonder we can’t have anything nice
I agree with the first part… we should keep the money here but I believe we created that mess and we are doing everything to make it worse.
"First take the plank out of your own eye and then look for the space in your neighbor's eye"
They have blood on their hands for the torture and murder of the American journalist, Gonzalo Lira.
That one is squarely on Biden.
This is a prime example why I state we should take a strong hard look at how Christianity is used today. I’d argue it’s used more so for political movements that true and pure intentions: https://unorthodoxy.substack.com/p/why-gnosticism-is-the-christianity
Are you implying that we should impose some constraints on the practice of Christianity? Ban it? What about other religions? What about other social movements?
All congregations, religious or not, are used for political purposes. That is ok with me, in fact I'd argue that it is essential. If Christians were not political, they would be legally (or even illegally) eliminated in the US - democrats have been clear on that objective. Because we have become a country of "I am right, you are wrong. Therefore my way must be imposed. There is no negotiating, there is not compromise because my position is pure and good." every movement must be willing to fight or be killed.
Christianity provided the ideological support for most of the evil in teh world. Slavery, Crusades, COLONIALIZATION, Witchhunts killing 9 million innocents, now ENDLESS WARS.
Christians need to do some WAY OVERDUE self inquiry.
Slavery, crusades, colonialization, witchhunts, war - all existed for thousands of years both before Christianity and in areas where Christianity didn't exist.
Wherever you find large groups of people you will find evil. Look at history and you will find this to be true. Tribal wars in Africa and North America, Genghis Kahn, Stalin, Darius and Xerxes, ...
I know it is oh so fashionable to hate Christianity, but you could eliminate Christianity and you would still have evil.
Christianity is responsible for so much of the good in the world: hospitals, charity, education, democracy, the defeat of tyranny, improved standards of living, elimination of slavery, elimination of child labor,... and on balance, I'd say Christianity is on the heavy positive side of the ledger.
At least try to be objective.
Not necessarily Christians but those who say they do the evil in the name of Christianity. There is a difference.
LOL. Right.
This very, very true. Christians need a old Protestant Era Reformation to root out the wicked corruption in the churches.
Gnosticism is nothing more than New Age Satanism. I looked at your website. It’s straight from the Pit.
whose website? you are uneducated about Gnosticism. it is about taking the middle man out of spirituality.
Gnostics worshiped in Nature, caves and sacred places, DIDNT NEED PRIESTS to tell them what to do.. and refused to tax the peasants to build huge cathedrals. they were in favor of freedom, free trade, teaching women to read and conduct business, at a time in the Dark Ages when most were illiterate and consequently at the mercy of the Power hungry Evil church hierarchy, who are the foundation for the exploitation we now see world wide. LOOK TO THE VATICAN where the bodies are buried, and all the stolen gold and treasure is secreted away.
Thanks for this response Liz! She may have been referring to my substack where I talk about Gnosticism: https://unorthodoxy.substack.com/p/why-gnosticism-is-the-christianity#details
But you're absolutely right in your statement!
Christians don't need priests either (though last time I checked the Roman church still tries to claim that we do). Seems that the bulk of the things you are objecting to are similar to what the Reformation had a problem with - things that were not originally part of the Christian faith but were added later by men who seized authority that wasn't theirs to take.
So do you believe in God? Cannot tell from your statement. Does that really make you an atheist?
Or more likely, Obiden…
I don’t even know how to respond to that level of stupid.
There is a mental ladder in front of you. Climb it and you may find the answer. It will be a long and arduous journey and will take some time, but you may find your desire for truth to inspire you. Or maybe not.
Gonzalo wasn’t tortured.
Russel Bentley was.
Any comment on him? He was an American citizen in Ukraine who was tortured and decapitated by Russian soldiers.
Bad things happen in war. That's why we should try to avoid it. We have done nothing which will improve Ukraine's situation. We shouldn't have been involved in overthrowing their president in 2014, in getting rid of the man who was going to expose the corruption (which Biden bragged about). Remember that Trump was impeached because of a phone call which threatened to expose the Biden family's corrupt dealings there. What about our J6 political prisoners? What about the ones, such as Matthew Pena, who committed suicide when threatened with prison terms when they committed no violent acts? What about the people killed by covid hospital protocols and disabled or killed by the covid vaccines? I have no respect for legislators who refuse to help these people, but give billions to Ukraine or to terrorists in Iran or Gaza. We need to stop interfering in every other country's business and take care of our own. Sadly, I know that's not going to happen.
Very well said! This should be sent to your senator!
My letter to my senator had actual facts in it.
all we are doing is kicking the can down the road trying to avoid the inevitable collapse of Ukraine. and the UKRAINIANS are paying the price with their lives. we the US taxpayer are forking all our treasure out FOR NOTHING but to give the Oligarch reptilians more time to hide from justice.
"all our treasure".
Seriously?
I'd suggest getting some facts in your argument first. 61 billion in aid to Ukraine is a drop in the 6.9 (I think) trillion budget.
For 6 months there was no aid to Ukraine.
What changed for you?
Did Trump become president again?
Did the economy suddenly have zero inflation?
National debt go to zero?
No?
It wasn't about Ukraine.
Ukrainians are trying to survive as a nation against a hostile force intent on wiping them out. Ask yourself why Russians brought the SOBR and children's teachers with them when they invaded..because the parents needed to be thrown in camps and the children "re-educated as Russians".
Spot on Anne 🙌💥🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Yes! I am sick of the bleeding out of America. And once such a wonderful place to live.
We didn't overthrow their president.
The people of Ukraine did.
You don't get a million Ukrainians to protest against Russian backed snipers and actual goon squads simply because of Victoria Nuland in the eastern European winter for weeks in the Maidan and across the nation (Even in the east).
You get them to protest because they remember the genocides Russia committed against them and the horrors inflicted during the subjugation by Moscow. While other post Soviet nations such as Estonia, Latvia, Poland, and Lithuania were having enormous market explosions Ukraine was stagnating at the behest of Putin.
I can't focus on the j6 people, I have to fix my own house first..sorry.
See how that works?
Part of being an adult is multi tasking.
Trump has publicly stated the covid shots were good. He also said J6 was a "Heinous attack on the US capitol".
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OsSCpkKG7Y8
During Trump's time in office we still sent aid to Ukraine despite problems here at home and even sent trillions in money laundering to the USA under covid relief.
Benjamin, I don't consider anything I said to be supportive of Trump. I wish DeSantis was the nominee.
I was a die hard Trump guy until he went full bent on the isolationism and vaccine pushing.
I even had the Trump flag in my war room and was going to use it for some parades this fall for the election.
I was a Nikki Haley and Desantis guy myself.
One million likes!
This dumbass?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russell_Bentley
That’s him.
He’s an American citizen regardless…yet nothing. You hear several hear lament over lira who died of health conditions
Yet nothing about an American citizen who was directly killed by Putin.
He was tortured and decapitated by Russian soldiers.
He was a Russian citizen. The Russians viewed him as an ally because of his efforts on behalf of the Donbas. His wife is a Russian citizen as well. Unfortunately he was also a committed communist so I’m sorry the Ukrainians killed him but he’s no hero, at least to me.
He was an American citizen.
Ukrainians didn't kill him.
The Russians did.
This was a major victory and all Ukraine had to do was..nothing. Russians killed one of their best allies and friends themselves.
I have yet to see a single person raise ire that an American citizen was tortured and decapitated by Russian soldiers.
Fascinating it is.
Two Noodles! Lay off them Molotov Cocktails. They are inflaming your mind and making you look stupid.
Gonzalo was effectively by privation prison murdered.
They had blood on their hands since 48.
It is a grift, wrapped in a fraud, cloaked in a psy op. The joy and flags displayed were not for Ukraine, but for Raytheon, Lockheed Martin and all the money that will be deposited in congressional pockets.
Those flags should have all been white.
Yep. And the '10% for the big guy' mantra will hold true, with leaders of Ukraine and Israel raining down hundreds of millions of our cash amongst their cronies.
Israel has been doing that with USA money since its founding; look at AIPAC who is one of the biggest contributors to our politicians.
https://www.aipacpac.org/ <-- note their supporter list; it's all the people who passed the recent funding for them. They all received hundreds of thousands from AIPAC.
You’re such a lying piece of shit. You’re terrible at this agitprop thing. If Vladimir ever sees it, you will live in bum fuck Siberia the rest of your days.
They had to shift the narrative to distract people from noticing that not only were the shots not working, they were killing people.
Those "evangelical leaders" accepted ecumenism decades ago, and buy into the whole global regime narrative. Yes, they are very naive to believe that this money will in any way be beneficial to anyone but the corrupt politicians.
And most of them jumped right on the covid-tyranny bandwagon.
There was very little push back from Big Religion when the vaxxers imposed their 666 injections.
Franklin Graham posted a CNN article which called Mike Johnson our Churchill. He pushed the covid vax and was most likely harmed by it, as he had heart problems after his injection(s).
This is why we follow the Bible as led by the Holy Spirit and not men.
The Evangelical leadership has been abominable, so bad I think it's hard to dismiss as just poor judgment. I think they've been coopted.
They pushed the mRNA vax despite it being experimental and unproven. They knew people trusted them and would follow their recommendation. Those people are now paying the price.
They stand as cheerleaders as Israel kills Palestinians, many of them Christians, by the tens of thousands. There's a wholesale slaughter of civilians going on, and not only do they not condemn it, they approve of it. This based on a Bible interpretation invented two hundred years ago with no historical precedent.
They are completely absent on the culture war, quiet as church mice while kids are being told they need to chop their genitals off. Utterly and completely spineless.
This is what happens when supposed church leaders think it's their job to please men rather than God. There are a few notable exceptions, but most Evangelical leaders are now acting out of fear or something much worse. None of them can be trusted.
Test everything you are taught against scripture and your own life experience.
As Christians, the Evangelicals stand discredited ... and effete and emotional for of fallen Christian practice. They are not to be trusted.
I wish it were otherwise. But judging by fruit born, something has to be wrong somewhere because if we all in America were following the Bible then we could not possibly be a failing country ... and with no border to boot.
These days, everyone is Churchill. It's even become an elite class fetish. And even the piano playing dick is Churchill.
Actually, the historic Churchill was somewhat of a cigar smoking drunk. Sure, he was an important wartime figure and a cementing of the people in the war effort. But Churchill was also a sellout to the usual banker-type suspects and in point of fact did much to bring down the British Empire.
With Churchill, it was a mixed bag.
Omgosh..like CNN calling it Mike Johnson's 'Churchill moment'.
Samaritan's Purse is doing such good work. I truly wish Dr. Graham would stay out of politics.
Disagree, he should speak on politics when there's clear Biblical instruction on the matter (e.g. homosexual marriage). He should not be shooting his mouth off when there isn't.
He said Jesus wanted us to take the shots. He lost all credibility with me.
You need to do some research on the Graham men. Not who you think they are.
Can you supply some solid links?
You are so right Carolyn but to point out certain inconvenient but true facts only invites displeasure. Billy Graham is our American Protestant Saint. He can’t be scrutinized but if people knew what he ended up believing they would shudder.
He double dips. Get two salaries, one from the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and the other from Samaritans Purse. He’s a very wealthy man. His salary 15 years ago was $885000/year. I don’t know what he earns now. I stopped giving years ago.
Nice little 501c3 you've got there....pity if
So why would anyone continue to trust the churches?
Sadly, C19 Health Terrorism has proved the bulk of the American pastorate to be brain dead effete bumbling idiots. Perhaps even akin to four years wearing adult cloths.
It's so bad that we are forced to tele-church sermons for Sunday at home worship.
It may not all be naivete. Sadly evangelical leaders are not immune to corruption either. Russell Moore is a case in point. He wisely left the SBC before he was thrown out for his lefty marxist leanings. There are enemies within the church.
The church is the frontline. They know it. We seem to not.
We Christians are vulnerable where our beliefs are concerned. If belief is in a church/organized religion, challenging a church is almost worse than challenging the government. For my parents generation, Church = God, and that faith was exploited; is still being exploited (see covid-shuttered church buildings). Bible-based faith is the antidote. Turn to the Word for all answers. Sadly, those who have been bought have their reward, Mat 6:19-20.
Agreed. Dividing the Body of Christ—The Church—over hierarchies and doctrinal minutiae is a waste of time we don’t have. “I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified” (1 Corinthians 2:2). “There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all” (Ephesians 4:4-6).
Excellent!
Trump Bragged about his Pecker; bread and circuses represent clown shows which is all politics is now.
My $.02: 50's-60's ecumenism was a political, not religious, movement.
Churches got paid to push the shots
I have listened to people who have been on the ground in Ukraine describe how the state is persecuting Christians. They have a secret police called the SBU. They are a bunch of jack-booted thugs. Our politicians squeal about "protecting democracy," but I wonder, "is Ukraine currently a democracy?" From everything I've read and heard from journalists on the ground, it is not. Our politicians are greedy grifters who represent the MIC/security state and other special interests, not the people. Sadly, it's both parties. I guess that's why they call them, "The Uniparty."
Zelensky cancelled elections.
Zelensky is trying to cancel the Ukrainian Orthodox Church.
The OC appears to be standing solid in Russia, which is probably the best explanation for why the West has made Russia the boogeyman. This battle is not against flesh and blood.
Because it’s a Russian asset. Jesus fucking Christ!
Ivan the botboi speaks….🖕
Will our election be cancelled Kathleen? If Trump and or Kennedy can't be stopped I fear so. We have become no better than any other corrupt country.
Probably.
Liar.
their Constitution supported that decision, not that it makes it right.
So if we send $61 billion more to Zelensky, he will call off his secret police, right? I don't know if it is true, but someone commented on a Substack recently that Zelensky just purchased a third mansion, this one in England, and that his wife has spent $1 million on jewelry. You are correct, Ukraine is not a democracy. If the $61 billion saves the country and makes it democratic, maybe we'll have to move there to avoid persecution here. You are correct as well about the Uniparty. The Republicans have failed time and time again to use the power they had. You have to wonder at some point if they are any different from the Demoncrats.
We have to remember it is actually a Uniparty marriage between the Marxist Dems and the NeoCon Reps. Any real patriots??? Maybe MTG? The only actual patriot I can see is the one they are determined to keep out of office.
The effort to smear MTG is relentless. Her interview with Carlson reveals her as one of the last citizen-patriots in DC.
All any of these people (Zelensky, democrats, most republicans) care about is money and power. That's it. They will do anything to insure it stays that way. You're 100 percent correct.
the UNIPARTY exists to rip you off and make your life hell. look at our cities. its not MARXISTS doing it.
its OLGARCH BILLIONAIRE FASCISTS who have taken over our government.
Ukraine is an ACTUAL NAZI REGIME WE ARE FUNDING.
Nazis of the worst kind.
Arguing the pros and cons of Ukraine funding, and the war itself, and the nonsense that continues in Congress, just feeds into the idea that these are all legitimate concerns and that there is need for a true remedy. I call bullshit and am tired of arguments from within the matrix. Clearly, they are laundering billions to no end and the status of "war" there is irrelevant. The entire idea of this crap is to get us all wrapped up it in so we don’t focus on what’s really important.
Can we talk about the systematic poisoning of people everywhere? Through our skies, in our food and water, injections and through gov’t patented EMF technology? Instead of the tired old “government blunders” can we please focus on what govt (and the people directing it) is directly doing to harm us?
The rest is just mental masturbation, round and round and round.
….as though the Baptist preachers know about or care about the Orthodox churches, Priests, or parishioners.
Correct. The Baptists are against any faith not Baptist. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been told in different Baptist churches how non-Baptists are going to Hell.
James - tragically, hell is a real place unless one repents & turns from their sins - no matter what “religious” denomination. Sadly, the focus is on preferences & political chatter more than on the Christ of Calvary.
And on personal repentance, which is an ongoing process. Once 'saved' is not good enough.
Amen!
It’s not all that tragic except for the people who get their just desserts by being sent there.
"deserts", I think
😄 that's what the RC believes and a hundred plus others. It's all about Who you KNOW and obey. What DO you know?
Jn 10:28
and I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, and no one shall snatch them out of My hand.
Jn 6:64
But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who it was that should betray Him.
John 8:31 Jesus therefore said to those Jews that had believed him, If ye abide in My Word, then are ye truly My disciples; ³²and ye shall know the truth,...
John 8:36 If therefore the Son shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
John 8:51 Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep My Word, he shall never see death.
Matt. 7:22-23 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy by thy name, and by thy name cast out demons, and by thy name do many mighty works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
RC do not believe that..there was a time many. many decades ago that they did. Orthodox do not believe that either.
Yes they both believe in the fullness of the faith through the Church, but not even remotely close to an extremist Baptist or Pentacostal view of the Christian world.
I grew up Catholic. they are very clear only CATHOLICS go to heaven.
Not anymore, atleast not with Orthodox. My daughter went to RC high school. No one told her such a thing, even in religion class.
Here is what the Catechism says:
(must be read carefully to understand)
Catechism of the Catholic Church
edit
The Catechism of the Catholic Church states that the phrase, "Outside the Church there is no salvation", means, if put in positive terms, that "all salvation comes from Christ the Head through the Church which is his Body", and it "is not aimed at those who, through no fault of their own, do not know Christ and his Church".[35] At the same time, it adds: "Although in ways known to himself God can lead those who, through no fault of their own, are ignorant of the Gospel to that faith without which it is impossible to please him, the Church still has the obligation and also the sacred right to evangelize all men".[36] The Catechism also states that the Catholic Church "is joined in many ways to the baptized who are honored by the name of Christian, but do not profess the Catholic faith in its entirety or have not preserved unity or communion under the successor of Peter", and that "those who have not yet received the Gospel are related to the People of God in various ways".[37]
Actually, no.
Catholic teaching is clear.
It has no capacity to know who is in hell since that is not her domain.
It's also clear that there's no salvation outside the Church. But we are not a card-carrying church. Just because you say you're Catholic doesn't mean a thing. And if you don't know what the Church actually teaches (and therefore you don't embrace it) but you follow the graces of God, you, too have hope. It'll still be through the Church - which is the Body of Christ
Wrong.
The Catholic Church - whom Jesus Himself gave His authority to at Mt. 16:18-19 - has infallibly declared many times that outside the Church there is no possibility of salvation (see Unam Sanctam for just one example.)
The false Vatican 2 sect taught the opposite, that non-Catholics can be saved.
Christ established one Church, and founded it on Peter. You cannot be saved outside of it.
I say this not to crow, but because I care about all souls. If I did not, Jesus would hold me accountable at my judgment.
I would agree, Jesus said to Peter “On this rock I will build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it “
I would differ in the understanding of salvation not because of the church ,only because of one’s faith in Him.
Right except that There was no Roman Catholic Church until some false Pharisees usurped and continued to persecute true followers. Still teaching false worship to idols, relics, self declaring sainthood and whitewashing tombs of those they murdered.
The catholic church is the whole of all believers who have been born again by The Spirit not by human decision or acts. Born, changed in heart and mind by The Word of Jesus Christ and no others.
Beware that the teachings of (wo)men in positions of authority and influence gain followings with lies that appeal to the selfish nature of all (wo)men.
Can you read your Bible and criticize your teachers? If not then you are just the same sheep that you judge here.
Research more on the catholic church...remember their inquisition
But do the REAL research, not the protestant propaganda.
I once had Baptists knock on my door (this was around 20 years ago) and invite me to their church. I said no thanks, I'm Catholic. They said that was okay and I should still come. I said, I'm good. I should have invited them to MY Church. lol
Anthony, this brings up an interesting point. I am a Christian who is a member of a Baptist church. In the past, we would go door to door to talk to people. I never understood why non-Catholics would usually welcome us and thank us for trying to spread the gospel. Catholics would quickly tell us they were members of that church, but seemed to have no common ground with others who only wanted to share their faith (not primarily to invite them to our church). I am supportive of any genuine Christian, even if I don't agree with the denomination they are affiliated with. I'm sorry if you were visited by people who only wanted to invite you to their church. That's not what it is about; it is about a personal relationship with Jesus, the Savior of the world.
And continuous repentance.
So when you went door to door what what was your point? Why is it wrong to get them in your church? Get them thru the door and then work the magic so to speak? Perhaps other things were said to Anthony but sounds like he shut them down pretty quick.
I "shut them down" because I was already set in my relationship with Jesus. Since then, I've had more experience with a Lutheran girlfriend, and a non-denominational mother of a friend, and some of the things I heard them say about Catholics were downright mean and very untrue. As far as I can tell, Catholics pray for a reunifying of all Christians and don't discuss how we are all different. But it sure sounds like other denominations have made a lot of decisions on what Catholics are and do. It's disappointing.
As for us being "a cult", well, cults have religious tendencies but to say Catholics are a cult and other denominations aren't is a head scratcher.
The main point is sharing the gospel. Of course there's nothing wrong with inviting people to church. It was my experience that as soon as Catholics realized we were there representing a church, or Christ, or however they perceived it, the fact that they were Catholic was the end of the conversation. They usually seemed unkind in my opinion.
But, Anthony, you would have had to warn them they wouldn't be allowed to receive the Lord's Supper there.
Good point.
"That was okay". How good of them.
Yikes, your experience is surely limited to the churches you happened upon. I grew up in Baptist churches that had compassion for people of all faiths and worked with them and sought their good.
And it wasn't just in public. I was a child overhearing how people talked over dinners, etc, and seeing very sincere caring baptist Christians.
When I went through a crisis of faith many years ago with many doubts about God and didn't think I believed in Christ, I thought during that time about how difficult it would be to give up the kindness and support I had known in church.
I wish you could know the warm hearts such people have toward others, including you.
Should have read your comment first as I made a similar also starting w yikes, yikes indeed!
😯
Yikes, not sure where you go to church but I’ve been in Baptist churches across the US and have never heard this, in fact just the opposite.
Sorry you are incorrect. That is what the catholic church does preach.
Show me in the Catechism or any document on Vatican.va.
Otherwise, I question your knowledge of what the Catholic Church teaches.
I've never heard that once preached in any homily I've heard.
raised Catholic and that is what they always told us. even our animals arent coming with us :) :) who wants a heaven like that?
I would live to know who "they" are.
If it was anyone born after 1950 or so, chances are"they" were not well catechized.
I like how Brandon Meeks puts it. https://open.substack.com/pub/nojesuittricks/p/heirs-of-st-george?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android&r=ti1ve
Decades ago, the federal government looked inept to me. Then it looked stupid, then a little corrupt, then completely corrupt but making an effort to not make that too obvious. Now, the corruption is obvious, and the fed knows we know it’s corrupt and lying, and it doesn’t even care that we know. The deep state has something up its sleeve, and it’s confident we won’t be able to do anything about it in November. Whatever it is may be the final test of our determination to restore our Constitutional republic, and our evangelical leaders are not up to the task.
You mean many of the same evangelicals who pushed the covid narrative and cashed in on the covid scam. The church was infiltrated years ago. It's clear they don't teach these days.
Sorry. It’s going to the military industrial complex. No doubt there will be a chunk of it ending up in government officials hands because surely they are heavily invested in such enterprises.
Agreed.
thanks. the stupidity represented by organized religion is the reason why so many people are leaving it.
and it makes people who are new to christianity work overtime to belong to a church.
I support a Baptist church in Ukraine. They preach the gospel.
You might want to ask yourself why Russia banned Catholic and Greek Orthodox churches
https://www.ncronline.org/news/russia-bans-ukrainian-greek-catholic-church-catholic-ministries-occupied-region-ukraine#:~:text=Russian%20occupation%20authorities%20have%20banned,announced%20on%20its%20website%20Dec.
We met last night with missionaries who were in Ukraine until the war began, and who have been helping refugees who fled to Poland since then. The issue of persecution of evangelicals was addressed and they stated that particular group had not been bothered. They reported that churches around the world stepped up and provided aid to Christians in Ukraine. Regardless, this additional money will do nothing to help. Not to mention that we can't afford it, we are ignoring our own border, Congress doesn't care one bit about religious freedom, Mike Johnson and the Republicans are doing nothing but giving in to Democrats, our country is being destroyed by a puppet president who wasn't even elected, serious persecution of Christians in this country is quickly heading our way, etc. etc. I have no hope that this country can recover, apart from God's mercy, which we do not deserve.
Sarcasm incoming: How magnanimous for us to print money out of thin air to enable our "giving."
Not sarcasm: False scales are an abomination. Our empire is built on the suffering of those to whom we export inflation.
Like my sarcasm; as soon as we secure democracy in Ukraine we can leave our police state and move there!
I agree with the middle part of your comment, Anne, but not completely with your last sentence. Our successes are also due to God's mercy, so I agree there is no hope outside of that, and we all deserve Hell and damnation, so of course we do not deserve success. But He gave us a world and we must act in it, so we mustn't give in to despair, either.
""Let us therefore rely upon the goodness of the Cause, and the aid of the supreme Being, in whose hands Victory is, to animate and encourage us to great and noble Actions. The Eyes of all our Countrymen are now upon us, and we shall have their blessings, and praises, if happily we are the instruments of saving them from the tyranny mediated against them." – George Washington, General Orders, Headquarters, New York, July 2, 1776; Fitzpatrick 5:211-212
“You must never confuse faith that you will prevail in the end—which you can never afford to lose—with the discipline to confront the most brutal facts of your current reality, whatever they might be.” - Admiral James Stockdale, senior naval officer held as a POW in Vietnam; he was there for over 7 years.
I don't disagree with anything you said, Fla Mom. I am working as hard as I can as a nearly 72 year old grandmother to try to bring about change and to help people be prepared for eternity. I began writing a Substack for that reason. I designed handouts which I leave in public places and give to people I have conversations with. I began wearing a 4" paperclip as a sign of resistance, after seeing Dr. Ryan Cole and MP Andrew Bridgen doing so. The Norwegian people wore paperclips as a sign of resistance in 1940. I write to my elected officials. No matter how little or how much I do, I still have no hope for change, unless God brings it about. My last sentence was meant to convey that after killing 63 million babies and embracing every kind of perversion that can be imagined, this country deserves to be judged. But who knows, God might be merciful. He is sovereign and I trust Him.
Exactly.
There's no mention of Russia banning Orthodox churches in your linked article.
The Greek Catholic Church is not Orthodox.
Literally the first paragraph about Russia banning churches.
“ Russian occupation authorities have banned the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church and other Catholic ministries in occupied areas of Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia region, according to the church's main communications office in Kyiv.
The UGCC announced on its website Dec. 7 that it had obtained a copy of an order signed by Yevgeny Balitsky, the Kremlin-installed head of the area's military-civil administration, declaring that the UGCC had been banned and its property was to be transferred to his administration.
Also banned by the order were the Knights of Columbus and Caritas, the official humanitarian arm of the universal Catholic Church.
The UGCC said in its statement the document, written in Russian and dated Dec. 26, 2022, had only now come to its attention. An image of the order, which the UGCC said had been published on Balitsky's official website, was included in the UGCC's online statement.
The order declared that the UGCC's activities were in "violation of legislation on religious and public organizations of the Russian Federation."
You said: "You might want to ask yourself why Russia banned Catholic and Greek Orthodox churches".
I denied that they were banning Orthodox churches and pointed out the Greek Catholic Church (the Ukranian Greek Catholic Church) is not Orthodox. i.e., they're Eastern Catholic.
The UGCC is not Greek Orthodox. It is Greek Catholic which are generally Western Ukrainians who follow the Eastern rite, but are under the Pope of Rome.
The banned groups. according to the article, have ties to the Vatican and US intelligence.
Therefore, in a state of war. it is understandable.
Hold up, so banning churches is okay.
It's only bad when Ukraine does it..becuase those churches are tied to the Russian UOC....
Got it.
Nice helping of hypocrisy in the morning.
Not credible sources and we don’t give money to Ukraine. Good Lord. Find topics that you actually know something about to participate in please
The evangelical 'leaders' believe the propaganda and know zilch about history or how the world really works. They, like most Americans, live in a virtual really more of an Alice in Wonderland characterization than not. The words provocation or false flag are not in their vocabulary. Not knowing history includes not knowing 2,000 some years of church history. The church leadership are more ideologues than theologians. And like the government, the churches are largely captured entities, and not autonomous representatives of Christ teaching.
I'll give you a glaring example. As newly minted 'Christians', DeWife and I spent five years in a Baptist country church. Not once did this church teach from the pulpit or in Sunday school from the Baptist Confession of Faith. Not even a single quotation. Not one reference to. We barely knew such a thing existed.
And now, in America, Christianity is largely either Zionist and/or NeoCon establishment churches. Is it any wonder that such churches support Christian hating Zionist or are fine with aiding and abetting government sponsored death campaigns like C19 Health Terrorism. And forget constitutions which are predicated upon God's Law.
Very interesting article!
Sisters and brothers, we have just been through what is probably the most confusing period in modern history in the West excepting if you were one of those in Europe having bombs dropped on your head in WWII and then it didn't matter if you were English, German or French, it was all the same bombs. We have all been the victims of the largest psyops in human history and those who planned and executed the plandemic have been working on this long before Trump even thought of being a politician. He was no more responsible for the plandemic than Biden was, though Biden willingly went along with it and relished in the power it gave him over us. They are two men cut from entirely different bolts of cloth.
What we have to understand is that we are STILL being victimized by their psyops. They WANT us fighting each other over who is responsible for what happened. At least half of what we think we know is total psyops and misdirection. This is all part of their plan to keep us blind to the truth and to cover their trail. They throw up straw men and false leads and we fall for it, always having our eyes distracted from seeing the actual culprits responsible.
We fell for the lie that there was an actual virus, that it was spreading into a pandemic, that it was deadly, that it originated in some second-rate Chinese lab and that we needed a miracle cure that they somehow managed to cook up, manufacture and were ready to distribute in a matter of WEEKS! IT WAS ALL A LIE! It was all psyops. And still is.
Now they want to keep us fighting with each other over the false rabbit trails they feed us while they roll out their next two phases of their operation: the military take-down of the American people and the conversion of humanity into trans-humanist slaves with no free will. As we speak, a foreign army is being trained, organized and armed inside the US by the Dept of Defense drawn from the over 20 million people that have crossed over our southern border since Biden took office. There are secret military training camps in the interior of the US that are training an army of more than 2 million non-Americans that will be deployed against us when the time is ripe. The fight over the border is just more theater to distract us. The border will never be closed as long as Biden is in office but in any event, the invasion is a fait accompli. It is too late.
The plandemic itself was a military campaign, planned and executed by the US Dept of Defense using politicians and drug companies as fronts. The bio-weapon shot was developed and manufactured long before the "covid" was released, all on Defense Dept contracts under military law. Think about it. Even without direct evidence, no other organization has the capacity, skill set and funding to create such a campaign other than the US Defense Dept. But Dr. David Martin has documented the actual evidence proving all of this. Dr. Ana Mihalcea along with others have documented the proof of the trans-humanist design of the bio-weapon shot. It is heavy reading but if you have not familiarized yourself with their material, then you are uninformed.
For more evidence, see these two links:

America is being invaded and destroyed with the help of our leaders. Michael Yon has spent his life covering wars, so he recognized right away what was happening. Yon joined Tucker to unveil the shadowy nonprofits that are fueling the migrant crisis currently unfolding on our southern border.
https://tuckercarlson.com/uncensored-michael-yon-border-invasion/
Additionally, the geo-engineering/weather modification/chemtrail spraying is also a part of the same plan and is being carried out by the Dept of Defense. The last time the USG went to war against their own people was in 1860. So don't think there is no precedent for what's happening.
I listen to the Tucker interview and I am so appalled even though I didn’t understand most of it ( being from Portland and all).
LOL.....it's ok.....we at C&C give lots of grace.
😆🤣 Haven’t listened yet, but I’m sure that I’d be right there with you!
We are so far gone that, unfortunately, an all out fight (civil war) may be the only way out of this mess. I've been saying for over 20 years now, that by 2050 or so the United States no longer exists.
Me too. To the degree that I am looking at the current mess as more of an existential threat to democracy than two old guys fighting, neither of whom I particularly like. But POLICY OVER PERSONALITY. What nation will my young grandchildren be living in? I prep for myself but also for loved ones who don't see a threat.
There is definitely going to be a conflict with the 20+ million non-Americans that have invaded the country in the last 3 years.
Not just them. It will also be against the real puppet masters. All of them will be brought to a full end. Keep watching, it's already building in all Western nations.
When Nesara takes place, they will be required to go home!
Hey Phil. Thanks for the great post above. You pretty much summed up our predicament, which isn’t easy to do, given the incredible breadth of this operation. It’s beyond explanation at this point. Can you provide us with more links and information on the twenty million “soldiers”? I’d like to research this further. Also, we should be helping people prepare. We fail to do that a lot. In this way, we peddle fear without solutions. Also, in your best guesstimate, when do you personally believe the opening salvo will occur? I hear May or November thrown around a lot.
When estimates are made as to how many have come across the border since Biden took office, they are just guessing. No one is keeping count. I think I have seen "official" estimates of about 10 million... or less. Double that would be closer. I have seen educated guesses of 20 million. Who knows maybe more. Those numbers are less important though than the organized military age men that have come across as coherent groups. Some I'm sure are terrorist cells of different factions. Some are most likely agents of the CCP. They already have CCP police stations in the US cities with the permission of the Marxists in DC. The cartels are already operating in all 50 states and come and go freely. But what is even more concerning than all that is the rumors I have heard of the DoD contracting for the military training of 2 million men. These kind of things never stay secret for long. There is always a paper trail because it has to be paid for. It's logical the Marxists would recruit from the illegals now that they have finished culling the American military. They could build a separate force loyal only to them for the promise of money and citizenship who would have no loyalty to Americans. We have all seen the videos of the big white, unmarked busses that meet these groups of military age men right at the fence, load them up and then disappear heading north never to be seen again. Two plus two equals...what?
I'm increasingly believing it's possible we end up with two separate countries. At least for a while, until the leftist half falls apart and collapses under the weight of its own corruption and bad policies. I could see an "old Capital" in DC and a "new Capital" in a red state. (Amazing that this leftist mind virus just won't go away and keeps doing the damage that it does. Didn't Europe and Eastern Europe just go through all this?)
Re: ......leftist mind virus just won't go away and keeps doing the damage that it does.
It's intentional:
2Thes2:9
".....And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie,...."

Lord of the Flies?
Later Jay
In the most recent youtube video by southernprepper1, he was so dismayed he said he doesn't feel the love to vote for Trump nor to fly the US flag anymore (based on Trump supporting Speaker Johnson's corrupt vote for every border but our own).
The winds are shifting...
Give me a break. This isn't about "feeling the love." It's time to grow up and work with what we've got until we can do better.
Honest question. Is it definitive that Trump supported Johnson on this?
I wish I knew that too. I wish I knew the back story. Every single time the Republican leadership has capitulated, there seems to be "a good reason" and this may be the case. But there is ALWAYS "a good reason" and those "good reasons" never seem to swing in favor of the Republicans. And I am sick of it. So while, in this case, there may be a good reason (and if Trump does support Johnson on this it probably means Trump sees a way to hang this around the democrats neck at election time) I understand the frustration of the freedom wing of the Republican party.
People are doing gymnastics trying to understand his support of FISA and Ukraine aid etc. When do we see the Emperor Wears no Clothes? Take a step back and just look with a neutral mind.
Didn’t Trump make a post about it? I think he did. I remember reading it. Maybe at truth Social?
So, should we start looking at Kennedy with some seriousness as a collective. I prefer some Libertarian ideology as I am sick to death of all the meddling in my business and regress of our personal freedoms. Just throwing it out there.
Later Jay
Libertarian Party has been confiscated and sabotaged. That is direct form someone who was very active in the Libertarian Party for years. They are a no-go right now unfortunately. (just fyi)
Just look at the candidate that everyone is smearing and trying to blot out. That is the unfavorable pick of the elites and the Agenda. All this nit picking about this little issue and that is doesn't matter right now. We need someone in office who speaks for the American People and the Constitution...someone who has a lifetime of service and work behind them to prove that is where they stand, someone with incredible intelligence about our government and also who is willing to listen to and work with others with different views, someone not afraid of death, who can reject bribes, someone who has spent 40 years developing a strong faith and trust in God.
So to answer your question "Yes." At least consider it.
silly prepper dude selling straws
Agree
I hope the US gets totally reconstructed from the ground up! We do not need big government any more…actually never did!
One shudders to think what you would have thought and said in, say, 1775 or so. But God.
"When values and beliefs diverge so dramatically from an imposed status quo, it is time for a change - by any means necessary."
Historically, empires don't last very long. The US is due for a change.
See my comment above. Agree.
2050. I think you're being extremely generous!
There's a reason the WEF, et. al., keeps parroting 2030.
So the “tell” for me was when the Covid vaccine became available so quickly. My intuition immediately knew something was off - meanwhile stadiums began to fill with the masses, lines of cars waiting for hours to get the s h o t. Things a are getting scary —
Right! It takes 8-10 years to develop a vaccine. Since they only had months, they decided to use a new technology….AND the vaccine would continuously make your body produce the toxic spike protein—-NO THANK YOU!
And it was their INSISTENCE that I take the shot that really turned me off.
I agree with all of this except that it’s a foregone conclusion. I know plenty of real men that are ready to fight and kill the invaders. I believe it’s way more than a few million. And those pos’ have no allegiance to anything.
The fight will come when the invaders try to impose their will by force on us. Then we will know who to target as the enemy combatant.
The best estimate I've seen is that over 20 million people have come across the border since Biden took office. I do think deportation is impossible. The effort will be separating those who are subversive and/or criminal elements from those who truly desire to become patriotic Americans. Those we need to recruit to our side.
It is my understanding - which is an open question - that the Marxist USG DoD is training 2+ million non-American recruits who they have imported over the border. Another guess is that this is happening at remote 2 or 3 locations in the western part of the country and is being performed by the same military contractors who support overseas operations of the US military. These men will not be the violent mobs of illegal aliens in the inner cities. These will be well armed military units which will be used against the American people whose only loyalty will be to the ones giving them their paychecks. They will have no moral reticence at shooting Americans.
"The effort will be separating those who are subversive and/or criminal elements from those who truly desire to become patriotic Americans."
I disagree. Deport them all. They can then apply.....like everyone else in the past.
I would be in favor of that if it was logistically possible. I have my doubts about that. However, they all need to be identified and required to go through the process of becoming a citizen. Those that do not take that option should then be hunted down for deportation. If you don't allow that option, then you are left with trying to hunt down all 20 million. But the screening should be thorough and rigorous.
Some joke, to "deport them all"........as you said, it is, indeed, " a fait accompli. It is too late. "
Cockroaches scatter when the lights come on........and you will NEVER find them all.
I dunno.....the US is NOTHING if not creative! Just look at this creativity from C&C, 26Apr:
"The United States has never before confiscated the sovereign assets of another nation [all over the world] in the absence of a formally declared war. The asset seizure targeting Russian assets is unprecedented, historic, and utterly new. "
Seems to me like rounding up a couple million people WITHIN OUR OWN BORDERS would be a piece of cake!
Then those are the ones that we kill first. Obviously.
And these people need to stay close to home. An EMP will shut us off in the blink of an eye, unarmed on some cruise ship or in a big city full of landlocked starving people.
Opps! Money…greed…control
It’s still frightens me that Trump has not said one word about how deadly and damaging the shots are. He could have easily said he had been lied to and that if he knew then what everyone knows now, he would’ve done something about it. And he could stand for ending, those horrible shots and the mRNA platform, which is killing people as we speak, and which will be used for new shots, and will always cause terrible auto immune reactions. Not to be the frightening DNA contamination. I believe he will welcome big Pharma campaign contributions into his campaign coffer.
He may well say that, and I hope he does, after he is elected. The logic is simple. Because of the psyops, the majority of his base took the shot. If he came out and took that position now, he would alienate a large part of his base because people will not want to accept the truth. You know what I'm talking about. No one wants to look in the mirror and think he is the walking dead because he took the shot or that he harmed his children.
Trump is out of office and cannot do anything about this. However, DeSantis IS the Governor and has the authority to ban the bio-weapon. He needs to perform his duty yet he has not.
Trump is part of the duopoly. People are doing gymnastics trying to understand his support of FISA and Ukraine aid etc. He is part of the problem....and an opportunist. When do we see the Emperor Wears no Clothes? Take a step back and just look with a neutral mind.
not freeing Julian Assange
not standing up against the jab
supporting money to Ukraine and FISA
I do not think he is who you think he is.
Hoping that’s why he’s staying silent. The pharm $ and also to avoid alienating the covidiots. I don’t have a lot of confidence in my position.
Trump, not DeSantis. Go Ron!
You are spot on! I think the set off will be an EMP they will blame on Russia or China.
It will lock up all the roads and highways instantly with traffic jams. Joe's handlers might do this soon to declare martial law and stop the election. We all know he isn't in charge. He is just another moron prince turned into a king.
I would seriously advise staying at home this summer. Hell to be stranded but worse if you can't get back home.
Also a good reason not to live close to an interstate.
Myself, I'm closer than I like to I-95. An EMP would result in 6 lanes full of people who will start to wonder your way...
Now I'm glad they didn't build an interstate through my town lol.
First thing travelers will want and won't have more than a bottle of is drinking water.
Colonel Doug MacGregor (ret) makes it clear that the country as we know it is over (it is already gone, but most of us have not yet realized that yet). We have been living in a post-Constitutional country since at least 2016.
IMO we cannot vote our way out of this. We just need to prepare for the inevitable crisis. Out of crisis (which will include a lot of pain) something new will emerge. It will be the next generation that will bring this about, helped along by elder patriots providing guidance.

And that is the bottom line.
"We have all been the victims of the largest psyops in human history and those who planned and executed the plandemic have been working on this long before Trump even thought of being a politician."
And more are coming.....from every angle.
The WHO "vote" re: global Pandemic "Treaty" is in 4 weeks, during the last week of May. The last "vote" re the amendments to this abomination were passed by the WHO even though several countries voted against it.
What do we do about it? That's what I want to know. Sit by and watch?
PRAY! It is our most powerful weapon.
This world is not our final destination. It's a testing/training ground to learn to recognize your King's voice, ways, and goals. Do you trust that He is working and has a VERY GOOD PLAN? You are either on His side or against Him but He cannot lose the battle or those He has chosen as His own ppl. Be what you are, where you are.
Acts 13:47-49 ...the Lord commanded us, saying, I have set thee for a light of the Gentiles, That thou shouldest be for salvation unto the uttermost part of the earth. And as the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the Word of God: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed. And the word of the Lord was spread abroad...
And then Stand and STAY STRONG
YES 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Praying is always good.
But what about actions? We can protest, picket, march, and move.
Or plan for war.
Indeed! I always ask God to remember that we still have many God fearing Christians living in this nation (of ALL faith traditions😉), and to have mercy on our country and help us, atleast for that. After we all die off and the non church going, often atheist generations take over. I don't know. ...
That didn’t work out too well for the Jews in line for “showers” in World War ll. I believe in prayer, but unfortunately history has shown me a gun or a generator are important real-world tools.
Learn as much as you can about being self sufficient.
The obvious next step is a tax strike, yet no one is willing to talk about that.
No need to strike. All that's needed is to adhere to the tax code. Well, as far as the federal "income" tax. I know, sounds like crazy talk. See this exchange from right here in C&C comments: scroll to comments posted by @Peggy B and @Heterodox Introvert. https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/in-the-mud-monday-march-25-2024-c/comments#comment-52460177
If you're interested, there is much homework to be done in follow up. Start with the referenced book. If you're awake to the multiple psyops of recent decades, the truth as unraveled in this work - involving obfuscation and cover up over several generations - will be easier to swallow though still possibly shocking initially. If still bought into the weave of the matrix, it is yet another thing to disparage. Your choice.
Same - trying to be vigilant about what’s on the horizon, raise my young boys, and prepare how? 😩
Don't panic and start listening to prepper channels for one.
Pray then plan then prepare then be an active example.
And our food supply is under attack as well. Livestock and eventually crops getting mRna injections. Now bird flu is spreading. Food processing plants catching fire and wildfires taking out ranches.
An even bigger issue for me, even bigger than the really big issues here is that - Biden is in charge of the NUCLEAR CODES!
It beggars belief that he could launch nuclear weapons - he needs no other authority - yet he doesn't even know where he is most of the time! And he's up for re-election! This is INSANE! And Kamala would be no better.
Meanwhile Israel and Iran - two nuclear powers - are squaring up - with Russia and China on the sidelines. It's happening! WAKE UP AMERICA!
Maybe it's his wife that has the codes.
Soz, doesn't quite work like that. Recommend reading, Nuclear War - A Scenario, by Annie Jacobsen. It's a second by second countdown.
The protocols are all in place and literally thousands of Americans are ready at a moment's notice to respond with 1,670 nukes on hair trigger readiness. He would get SIX minutes to decide against a threat. And once launched, ICBMs cannot be recalled. No one can over-ride his decision, which he alone makes.
This shit is real! He has advancing dementia! Kamala is an idiot!
I don't know what is going on in the WH but Biden doesn't take a shit without getting permission. My money is on Obama and the Marxist General staff that backs him.
Right on
Pol Phil .... I fear you are probably right! And, well said!
But WHY does our own military want to destroy us? This is the hardest part for me to understand.
Richard Maybury of The Early Warning Report is famous for saying "Power corrupts the morals and the judgement." And we are told by God that "the love of money is the root of all evil." Those two understandings explains everything.
Just a question DG, why do you believe "our own military" is against us?
Political Phil… you never disappoint! Spot on…. Hauntingly accurate…
Excellent post, Phil !
Never forget today is Armenian genocide Remembrance Day. The Biden regime continues to provide military aid to Azerbaijan, which ethnically cleansed 120,000 Armenians from Artsakh last year. Pray for the Christian Armenians: https://yuribezmenov.substack.com/p/artsakh-christian-armenian-genocide-azerbaijan
Thank you for the reminder. I saw a video on this an it was heart breaking. Oh the horrible things going on in the world. I should think twice before complaining and appreciate the blessings I have.
I’ll bet Cenk Ughar? Knows something about this. But it’s not like he has a tv show or anything named young Turks.
Thank you for bringing attention to the atrocity.
And note who's behind it.
https://www.timesofisrael.com/azerbaijan-and-israel-tout-strategic-ties-ahead-of-tel-aviv-embassy-opening/
And our greatest ally, Israel, was the biggest proponent, pumping money and arms into Azerbaijan to help defeat the dwindling Christian hold on the area. Yet western Christians turn their heads to this atrocity.

For some odd reason, you'll see them behind all Christian atrocities. I think the Talmud makes it clear why. This is also why they spit on Christian who visit Israel. Rev 2:9/3:9
Look at WW2. Over 50 million Christians died at the hands of the Bolsheviks, but there's no memorial for them.
Oh, I know along with many more like Holodomor. They regained their freedom and status after the French Revolution. For nearly 1000 years, they were kept in check until that revolution happened. I just wish others would actually go research it instead of leaning on the lies they were taught.
It's the same people screwing up the world for thousands of years. There is nothing new under the sun. I look forward to Obidiah 18 and it can't be too far off into the future.
And dual citizenship? Mmmmm
Reading this today made me feel like Im in the twilight zone, the corruption going on in America is astounding, I believe every "Republican" who voted for the bill to waste billions on foreign countries are compromised in some way, why else would they totally ignore their own border for a foreign border.
They are pedos and perverts.
Either that or they are compromised by the CIA/FBI which has been doing so since they took out JFK.
JFK was going to do 3 things. Expose the puppet masters, bring back gold backed currency, and make the ADL register as a foreign agent. All of these are tied together. He got suicided for it.
Or…. They have always been enemy infiltrators put in place to destroy the Republican Party from within.
There is only the Uniparty staffed by Marxists and NeoCons. The 2 party system is a psyops and has been for a hundred years.

I heard a former congressman on talk radio last week. He was telling the truth about how DC really works. He is running for senate now. He said most representatives don't read the bills, don't really know what is in them and aren't really paying attention. They are told how to vote by those "in charge" like Schumer, Pelosi, Graham, McConnell, etc and they are threatened with their positions if they don't fall in line.
Pelosi: "You have to vote for it (Obamacare) to find out what's in it"
🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤢
I remember that!
I look forward to her death.
Maybe they're doing it to see if we're paying attention?
Call me crazy but I think their contempt for We The People is so deep we're at the point where they're telegraphing lies and saying:
"What are you gonna do about it?"
They seem to get a kick out of how squalid the happiness of their constituents looks in comparison to the overcompensations of misery they deliver to their voter's.
If it feels deliberate...that's because it is...it's exactly how they want us to feel.
And add the title IX bs 💩…to the incomprehensible… this from Hero athlete Riley Gaines in protest to its absurdity… not yet discussed herein….
The Biden Admin has just officially abolished Title IX as we knew it.
Now, sex = gender identity.
In a nutshell, the new rewrite means:
- men can take academic AND athletic scholarships from women
- men will have FULL access to bathrooms, locker rooms, etc
- men could be housed in dorm rooms with women
- students and faculty MUST compel their speech by requiring the use of preferred pronouns

Tax strike. Stop feeding the beast.
Even if 100% of taxpayers were to participate in such a strike it wouldn't change a thing. They'd go right on sending USD to their client states.
I'm other words, there is no relationship between tax revenues and spending. They will simply create their fiat wealth out of thin air.
Except the IRS is armed and dangerous now.
And they will take everything that you have if they can.
Stiff opposition —— great headline, Jeff
From Toobin tubing to taxpayers getting Johnsoned to Trump getting Peckered.
And here I thought Anthony Weiner showing everyone the literalness of his name would be the last of this theme...
After denying any middle school humor (I thought did Jeff have a guest writer today?) there came the jokes. The “schlong time” almost made me inhale my coffee.
Oh Jeff really outdid himself with this piece!🤣
This from Dick 😂. I giggled through the entire first segment…
Haaaaa
I should have resisted the urge to slip in my comment today, but I couldn’t resist, sorry. Jeff’s penetrating account of Mr. Pecker’s opening testimony* I found arousing. In any event, it’s clear that the prosecution is dicking around attempting to influence the “members” of the jury. Heaven only knows what’ll come of the act, but I suspect it’ll be a sticky situation. On the other hand, it might just Peter out like many things do.
*The very word fits right in with today’s phallic theme: the word comes from “testis” which is of course part of the male anatomy. The sperm, er term, originated from anceint custom (Hebrew?) where a man touched that part of his anatomy to affirm an oath.
Can I just say, I am glad we swear on the Bible nowadays instead 😬
Same! 😂
LOL! You should write romance novels.
Well done, knob.
🤣
I thought he took off his sandal! (cf Boaz)
So wait. This FTC rule about non competes is illegal because it didn’t go through congress, but the Title IX rule last week is lawful? Wasn’t that just a rule change within an agency too? And what about Biden’s loan ‘relief’ BS? That definitely didn’t get congressional approval, and the Supreme Court shot it down the first time he tried it. I don’t know the law, someone help me understand.
The Title IX rule change should suffer a similar droopy fate
Good! It’ll be way too long of a process and most people will have forgotten about it. Ugh.
Title IX rule will go soft, unable to give pleasure when wanted because there's no meat on that bone. The climax could be a long time coming. 😣
Yes, it should along with the HART-CELLER Act.
I was telling my wife this just last night when she asked about something similar. They’re going to go ahead and do it, knowing it’s illegal. By the time it works its way through the court system, it’ll be too late and people will have largely forgotten about it.
Yep. Just like “banning” the use of ivermectin. Completely illegal, but it accomplished exactly what they wanted:
Drs refused to prescribe it, pharmacists refused to fill rx’s that did get written.
🤡🌎
And _still_ refuse to prescribe/fill, with pharmacists using the conscience clause to avoid filling it now. (The one originally put in place to try to protect those who were pro-life from filling abortion scrips.)
Yes. I’m saddened and completely disgusted with my former profession (I medically retired from pharmacy in 2015) and medicine in general.
Grateful though, too…I was pretty brainwashed back then 😣
Case in point: the whole covid disaster. They KNEW it would take too long and be too difficult to litigate and they were correct.
Exactly... it’s planned that way. They’re using our system against us. One more disgusting thing among many.
Like everything else 😢
Biden doesn’t care about the Constitution, laws, SCOTUS rulings etc. It’s classic LAWFARE.
He was always sleazy, intolerant, racist, horrible. Now he is just a stupid puppet of nefarious powers that be.
Just another reason by the case against Chevron deference before SCOTUS is so damn important. Maybe the most important case SCOTUS has heard in the last 100 years.
Please address of the Supreme Court just making shit up next. Shut the fuck up

Amen Grace!
The shrinking manpower problem in Ukraine is what we in America should be most concerned with after Biden’s SOTU speech in which he proclaimed, “I am determined to keep American troops out of Ukraine.” They always tell you- if you listen.
The problem is no one wants to sign up. There was a poll on X with thousands of votes asking about a draft. There were 4 choices, and I was surprised to see that nearly 70% of those who voted said they would fight their own government before being drafted or allowing their sons and daughters to be drafted.
And it's like that for all NATO countries. There's some interviews of the new Muslim and African 'immigrants' in England, who all say they don't identify as British nor would they ever fight for them. A refrain repeated in France, Germany, and everywhere.
What a contrast with the Gurkhas.
They consider us their enemies. You could say they are an enemy of our enemy. I bet you know who opened the gates of Spain back in the day. The same ones opening the gates into all Western nations today. I know who they really are as they have even admitted it in 5 of their own historical writings. All nations that come against us will be brought to a full end. That's guaranteed.
You are exactly right! "Nothing is confirmed until officially denied."
Biden's statement is official confirmation that they will send American troops. "They always tell you."
When I was in school, a lot of teacher were packing heat and half of the male students had a rifle hanging in the back window of their pickups. We never worried about school shootings. It wasn't until schools became "gun free" zones that the bad people with guns started shooting kids. How many of these people who are terrified of guns would put a sign out on their lawn that says, "gun free zone"?
Most of the school shooters are on SSRIs.
The medical examiners and the police will never tell you.
Was just going to reply to Rob D that these school shootings also coincided almost 100% with the roll-out of SSRIs to the general public, handing them out like candy for garden-variety teenage hormonal issues and "depression" (which has been expanded from its original meaning of debilitating, almost catatonic low functioning to just general everyday sadness or disappointment). It's clear the SSRIs are causing most of the mass shootings, and probably a large chunk of the more recent "trans" delusion. And it's clear they don't work for "depression" or "anxiety" since it's been proven there is no link to serotonin. So, what exactly do the SSRIs do and why do doctors keep handing them out?
RFKJR spoke about this the other day, and how the NIH *refuses* to look into the mental or other reasons *behind* this national sickness .
SSRIs cause suicidal and homicidal ideations.
What better way to take down America?
RU, when I was on my in-patient psych rotation in medical school in the '80s, there was a patient whom I found funny, because he would say intentionally-amusing things in conversation with the psych team. He never seemed depressed to me, but the psychiatrist assured me he was. Any of them who declined to take the prescribed drugs would go to court in the basement of the hospital, where the judge would hear both sides and always come down on the side of the psychiatrists.
Drug pushers. I think the entire discipline of Psychology went off the rails in the 70s or so when they decided to politicize the field. They made their best thinkers with the most useful theories into pariahs b/c they were white men who said that the family unit and spiritual systems were both extremely relevant to psychological health. This was intolerable for the leftists, who want the family unit and spiritual systems to be subjugated to the State or dissolved altogether. Of course, this destroyed the ideological relevance of Psychology, turned it into a bit of a laughing stock for a while, and then relegated the field to being the handmaiden of modern Psychiatry and its medicalization of everything. I think our society as whole is now suffering the consequences of this. If it can't be drugged into silence, then it is to be affirmed, enabled, and celebrated as a "diverse" way of living. Even if it results in death.
So, we are now overrun with delusional lunatics.
In a recent Tucker interview with Jesse someone, Jesse stated that one of the biggest threats we have are single white liberal women who are mentally unstable due to ‘mental health’ drugs. I’m paraphrasing but the guy was right. They’re sad, or they’re anxious so they take a pill, and if that pill doesn’t work well, you can take another pill to help the first one work better!
I tried to find the link, maybe it’s on youtube?
That was the talk radio host from TX that Tucker interviewed. And he was right. If you look at polling, upper middle class and upper class, higher wealth, higher educated, white women are pretty much THE stronghold demographic for all of the insanity: the genital mutilation of children; the virtue-signaling NIMBY support for the illegal invasion; the attacks on free speech and 1A; "vaccine" tyranny; all of it. That is the demo that is driving all of this.
I thought the trans thing would turn them to sanity when it became their own child that was being groomed (b/c most of what they advocate is virtue-signaling and NIMBY in nature), but they shocked me by actually proudly offering up their own children for the sacrifice. The combo of indoctrination in college and mental degradation caused by pills seems to be taking a toll.
As for the drugs, yeah, they're even advertised and marketed that way now: if your "antidepressant" isn't working, you can add this other drug to help it work better...double-down on the stupidity, I guess.
Those stupid smiley face signs they wear should be replaced with a sheep face or devil face.
I didn't hear the interview but it sounds like Jesse Kelly. He has a great show on iHeart radio. If you have an Alexa you can listen to his show or https://news.iheart.com/featured/the-jesse-kelly-show/tab/podcasts/
That’s him. Thanks for the link!
I liked him.
Fully aware of the SSRIs precipitating suicidal ideation, but the homicidal ideation seemed to be carefully obscured.
I know. Those who call it out are quickly demonized. I think the stat I saw was SSRI use had an over 90% correlation with mass shootings. (IIRC this was via Midwestern Doctor's Substack.) Truth can't be suppressed forever. It's also pretty obvious: if something causes suicidal ideation in some, it will certainly also cause homicidal ideation in others.
🎯🎯🎯! And like suicide, the SSRIs give them the energy to “pull the trigger” so to speak. The truly suicidal, off meds, are usually too depressed and “down” to act. It’s well known that the danger is when the depression first starts to lift. If that isn’t proof of cause and effect…
Here is a link to A Midwestern Doctor, from November, on that topic. The piece also links an earlier post, equally comprehensive, from May:
The Decades of Evidence That SSRI Antidepressants Cause Mass Shootings
https://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/there-is-decades-of-evidence-that
Thank you for sharing the link.
And in the LBQWERTY gang!
A Mid-Western Doctor did a good post on this last summer.
It's pretty amazing how gun-free zones really just put up a sign saying "you can shoot anyone here without danger". Schools are the worst for that, but there are other places that think somehow putting up a sign will stop (checks notes) criminals who want to cause harm. We also get the great demonstration of what happens when you get some cowards in charge like in Uvalde where the police actively worked to stop parents from going in to rescue their kids while just meandering around the halls and refusing to do anything they were supposedly "trained" to do. To my knowledge, there are still few consequences for that mess for all of the cowards who sat by to let kids die.
Gun Free Zone = Target-Rich Environment
Agreed. One of our daughters is a teacher and having grown up in the country shooting critters is a crack shot and would not be afraid to defend her students given the chance. Sadly she is in communist Colorado and gun control keeps getting tighter there. No gun zone signs may as well be followed by psycho shooters welcome. How much dumber can we get…

"...goes to replenishing our munitions."
Who do they think they are fooling? Those munitions will quickly be sent to Ukraine.
Years ago I took work trip to DC. Our CEO was a very well connected individual, and we received an after hours, nearly unrestricted, tour of the capital. (I even took a seat in the Speakers chair which was strangely uncomfortable and uneven.) While many people taking such tours report feeling "awe and reverence", I could not escape the feeling of "being slimed". The karma around that building is nauseating.
My distaste for DC politicians has only been strengthened since then. The US, and probably the world, would be better off if a massive asteroid took out the capital.
I don't know how it would be done legislatively, but I would implore President Trump, after he is re-elected and if he is allowed to take office, to move almost all agencies out of DC and spread them around the country. Now that work from home is pretty normal, there is lots of available office space.

Disband the Department of Ed. Then you don’t have to move it.
I would heartily endorse that.
Disband them all…except Transportation. Infrastructure matters. Ditch Mayor Pete and slash the dept to its bare bones. Take a page from Milei’s playbook. Most govt agencies are unnecessary money drains….
Don't send anything to Maine. They're kooky blue.
I thought about that, but figured that would offset by being cold, miserable, and isolated.
Maybe Bozeman MT?
Barrow, Alaska
You would not believe the home prices in Bozeman!
Maine does have one of the best, if not the best, food freedom laws in the country, though.
Only around Portland, I think? Head up (or down to) Rockland and you'll find lots of Trump billboards in people's yards.
Can we just clean up those other States and then we can use them too? Asking for a friend. 😉
I was watching "Boise Boys" a couple of years ago wherein two guys flipped houses in Boise?
Hard to believe how expensive those kinds of houses were!
For whoever suggested the Tucker Carlson podcast as a way to listen to many of his interviews, thank you. Your suggestion was the Bob Amsterdam interview, but I found that to be more of Tucker’s usual style of high drama in setting the corruption table for Ukraine. Amsterdam visited Ukraine telling how horrific Christians are being treated, but still voted for the “package”. Enough of that alphabet soup of reasons. But as I looked at more of Tucker’s interviews, I came across one with Pastor Doug Wilson of Moscow, Idaho. As Tucker can sometimes do; it was like flipping a switch. He quietly interviewed this traditional pastor on all manner of where Christianity in the US has been, is now, and is heading. I agreed with virtually everything Pastor Wilson talked about. He is eminently worth listening to and Tucker did an excellent job of just letting him talk, in ways that all Americans can get. An hour of talk that made my day.
Benz was a must-listen interview also.
This might be the most important interview he's conducted.
Second this.
I thought the section where he talked about how one's religious beliefs condition one's mind and one's expectations of society was particularly interesting. Much higher level philosophical thought than I was expecting in a relatively short interview.
I'll have to check that one out.
I was listening (we were) to that Sunday a.m. Since we don't go to church anymore, some of these things supply an appropriate message (though I do miss singing)
When Pastor Wilson spoke on a “new hunger for God” he had not seen in 30 years. He spoke of how when covid shut down churches across the Nation, it flipped a switch for many latent Christians. Something was wrong with that picture. Christian churches should have been leading the way forward instead of hiding in fear. Then was when I had the same feeling. I had been perfectly happy attending a traditional Lutheran church. I even worked part time at the school there. The Pastor and I often talked about the 2016 election and all that went on in the government. None of this was ever mentioned from the pulpit. Politics was never spoken about. We prayed for government leadership, but no names were ever mentioned. When the lockdown started, it was like my church was in prison. No word emanated from them on social media. After the first month they started streaming canned organ hymns and a message from the pastor. In that first month, a pastor from a non denominational country church I knew started doing short messages along with his wife from his farmhouse table. What he talked about was a lifeline. He and his wife got it. They reopened their church within a month. I attended the second Sunday they were reopened. It was quite the eye opener. A very good large praise band versus the traditional organ music and no one singing of my traditional church. Everyone hugging and few, if any masks. But the clincher was the pastor and his Biblical basis for everything. We are encouraged to read the Bible and understand it. My traditional church reopened two months later. The pastor would not wear a mask and did not demand anyone else wear one, but attendance was small and well over half were masked. This persisted into 2021 and beyond. The school reopened the fall of 2020, children and staff masked, per this state’s demands. I never went back to work there. I told myself at least they were open, as much of this state kept school’s closed until the fall of 2021, but I felt like we just gave in. After four years, I now attend both churches. We can usually attend a Saturday evening service in one and a Sunday morning in another. It doesn’t always work perfectly but I am in corporate worship every Sunday. When we travel now, I do not hesitate to find a nearby church and experience it. One of the strong points Pastor Wilson made was corporate worship is important and WE are the change within our churches. A thriving church is one that invites ALL to come visit.
We were living in Seattle during the pandemic, and most of our friends we met at church. When the state shut everything down, our former large urban church and our current, small neighborhood church complied - with canned services over zoom.
A few churches defied the rules and remained open or quickly resumed in-person services, but they were all the kind where you have to wear earplugs so you don’t go deaf during the “singing”. We tried a few and just couldn’t stomach it.
I never realized how important corporate worship is until it was taken away, and “zoom church” is just no substitute. You can’t replace meeting together, singing and praying together. In the same room. But as a classical musician, I just can’t do praise bands.
We now live in AZ and go to a conservative traditional Lutheran church every Sunday. Most of our friends in Seattle don’t go to church anymore. They got used to having two days off to sleep in and do what they want. It is very sad.
Outstanding interview.
Aren’t our taxes supposed to pay to replenish our military supplies?! What they really mean is 75% goes into the lobbyists and military contractor’s pocket.
If they can just print money whenever they need it, why are we paying taxes? It's a scheme to keep you poor. NO one paid any taxes before 1913. Income tax was found to be unconstitutional, and they stopped collecting until they implemented it again.
1862 IRS first formed for Civil War tax under Lincoln. Income tax was between 3% to 7.5%
1871 Income tax repealed as unconstitutional
1894 Income tax act reestablished by congress at 2%
1895 Supreme Court abolishes income tax as unconstitutional.
1913 Income tax / 16th Amendment / Federal Reserve Act passed in the middle of the night on Dec 24th with half of congress out. Tax rate was 1% to 7%
Anyone else see a problem here?
My thoughts exactly.
“But don’t worry, Ukraine will win any minute now. Somehow.”
Reminds me of the old quote that if you talk sense to a fool, he calls you foolish. This Congress is beyond saving.
I am constantly reminded of the “Black Knight” Monty Python skit
‘Tis but a scratch!
Russia taking 17% of the country (including
What they already held) when they claim it all with enormous losses is not exactly a win.
Bennie 2-N’s — you’re too FAKE to call a “Pecker” so I’ll just appropriately label you a Dildo instead 😂 Good news is…you can eat all the Ice-Cream you want — as FAST as you CAN — an never have to worry about a “Brain-Freeze!” 😂😂
Facts are hard for you guys to deal with.
Why did Russians flee Kherson? They claimed the city “voted to join Russia”.
Russia will win any moment now..793 days later.
Which begs the question....why does everyone thing Putin plans to invade more countries. All lies.
He’s already running invasions in
2 other countries.
Part of their goals was to secure southern Ukraine and get a land bridge to Moldova where they could invade the rest of Moldova.
Germany wasn’t satisfied with just the Sudetenland in the 30s.
We’re they?
They still claim several other territories and want them back.

Tennessee is giving Florida a run for most sane state with common sense legislation lately! Love to see more states bucking the idiocracy that is taking over.
Yes, we also passed a bill prohibiting the spraying of the skies, but unfortunately it doesn’t take effect until July. Yesterday morning we had a gorgeous blue sky, and then the crisscross of multiple planes spraying the skies over our lake by afternoon. Today is cloudy and gray. Pisses me off that they are still screwing with Mother Nature. I only hope that it will actually cease in July.
I’ve noticed this year is the haziest I remember. Not storms and rain showers, but more like smog. Perhaps Tennessee can be a model for other states.
I noticed the criss-crossed skies as well. Very disturbing. I'm not sure how they can get them to stop. If they want to do it, they will just ignore the law like they ignore the constitution.
Same here in KY. Yesterday morning was beautiful. By lunchtime, cross-crosses everywhere. By evening, they had spread throughout the sky. 😠
Yeah and in order to maintain our sanity, odds are we will have to secede from the failed states of America.
TN right now has legislation they are trying to pass on nullification of federal laws that are unconstitutional. TN Citizens for State Sovereignty (TNCSS) has a Substack and website and is run by David Vance and Karen Bracken. Supports many new laws that will help TN protect its sovereignty and citizens.

States have no sovereignty. What a dumb fuck
I’m the dumb fuck? Go back to the WEF and kiss the asses of your satanic globalist overloads.
