Renea, I am so sorry for your loss, a grief I cannot even imagine. Asking the Lord to comfort as only He can and to fill all the empty places with His peace. Hugs to you.
Thank you. I prayed for all that I was worth as we waited for good or bad news. And those prayers were answered with a giant no. I know God is good but it does not take away the pain or unanswered questions. I will never get to sing to this new one, or hold him and snuggle him, kiss his eewwahhhs. I know I will get to see him again. We will bury him on family property tomorrow after paper work is dealt with. My large flower garden has now been renamed Finn's Garden.
What a beautiful tribute. So sorry for your loss. Lord, hold Renea and her family extra close today. May HE continue to give you strength and comfort as you go through this impossibly hard time.
I am so sorry for your loss. We did this after my sister was killed in a car accident. I would sit on the bench and listen to the creek and birds. It brought me great solace. I hope it does the same for you.
The name also reminds me of my mother’s favorite hymn “In the Garden.”
I come to the garden alone
while the dew is still on the roses
And the voice I hear
Falling on my ear
The son of God discloses…
Light, love, and strength to you and your family. 💞💔
This is 1 of the 2 hymns of the Christian faith I have requested be played at my memorial service--the other one is "His Eye is on the Sparrow" and I want the version by ETHEL WATERS whom I listened to many times as she sang this very hymn at Billy Graham's crusades!! Someday I'll sing it WITH Ethel Waters in the Lord Jesus' BRIGHT KINGDOM!
You are in very good company with GIANT hole in your heart and lots of unanswered questions.
Not to take away from your pain - so many here have lost children or grandchildren - but in sympathy thinking on the family I posted about who in June lost their 6 year old in.a freak accident when her siblings were playing. She died almost instantly.
This life really is filled with SO much pain. Thankful for the Psalms when David cried out! 💕🫂
As a parent who has lost unborn babies and our adult only daughter, I have learned that God's plan is not always our plan but He has comforted us and used these losses to grow us and to comfort others. Don't lose faith and seek His will through your pain. Praying He will give you a special revelation of His love and comfort. 🙏🏻📖🕊️
Jesus holds him now. It's what we all want for ourselves and others just in our own 'time'. You will hold him for certain. God has a great interest in bringing all He has chosen to come to pass and His Word says that He believes with us in our grief. He is intimately experienced your pain. "He has born our griefs"... Not only carries them with us but He suffers under it also with us. He sees what we cannot. It is our test to trust His eye. He will also hold you fast in these times of your complete anguish. 🙏🏼❤️🌹
I am truly so sorry for your loss of your precious grandson…I can’t imagine…may the peace of God cover you and help you as you journey through this time of intense grief and lost.
Congratulations!! Grandchildren are everything they are cracked up to be. Oddly my husband gets the most emotional over his grandchildren. He loves his two kids, but the grands do something even more to his heart.
My heart is moved by your unspeakable loss--HOWEVER...that grandson is waiting for his family to join him in the "sweet bye and bye". And...I would like to share a wonderful story about a friend of mine who lives in FL--her only child--a daughter--finally married a 'good guy' and they had 1 son....tried for another child--lost THREE - 1 of them was still born (a little girl). Many prayers were prayed by everyone who knew this family and MIRACLE OF MIRACLES...this daughter had a SECOND SON who is very sprightly and healthy. THEN...TOTALLY 'UNPLANNED' our Wondrous God gave that family a THIRD HEALTHY CHILD--A LITTLE GIRL....which my friend's daughter wanted a daughter SO MUCH. Now...my friend who bemoaned to me in 2013, "I don't think I'll ever have a grandchild" has THREE HEALTHY GRANDCHILDREN.
PRAYER IS DIRECT CONTACT WITH A MAGNIFICNETLY POWERFUL GIVER OF LIFE AND LOVE!!!
I repeat this verse to myself almost daily, W.S. - especially when considering in MY mind the awful turbulent nature of humanity and WHY does our Creator God love US--despicable despots that we are--SO MUCH! Then...this verse pops into my "cerebrum" --MGNIFICO--is our wondrous Savior...JESUS CHRIST THE LORD OF HEAVEN AND EARTH AND ALL THAT WAS, IS AND EVER SHALL BE!!
Even higher than Bryan Dair! 🤣 Speaking of doggie chocolate chip cookies, that little AI setback is minor for computer programmers, but it reminds me, “The wisdom of this world is foolishness in God’s sight” (1 Corinthians 3:19). Good authority tells us God finds man-made visions of superiority amusing, pitiful even: “The One enthroned in heaven laughs; the Lord scoffs at them” (Psalm 2:4). What do you bet the 21st century keeps God laughing and scoffing?
The Word is Eternal. The Word is Jesus Christ. The Word is the sWord of the Spirit. Get The Word into you. Get into The Word. You cannot get into heaven by imitating or regurgitate The Word. You must repent and be changed. Jesus Christ isn't just a great idea.
Note in the photo of the blackout including by Jeff, there is a luminescent building to the left, radiating white light (albeit reflected light). Somehow the Basilque de Sacre Coeur, the Basilica of the Sacred Heart, had electrical power while the rest of the City of Light went dark.
That church sits on the highest elevation in Paris. It has had perpetual adoration of the Blessed Sacrament — the blessed host which the Catholic Church holds to be the very Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ — where the faithful maintain vigilant adoration before the Eucharistic Lord 24/7/365 for over 150 years.
And this past Sunday was the first of six successive Sundays wherein every Catholic Church in the world will be reading and preaching the sixth chapter of John’s Gospel, the Bread of Life discourse, wherein Jesus proclaims very clearly no less than three times that His Body is true food and His Blood is true drink.
Thank you for educating us, Gordo - I was wondering why that "single beam of light" was evanescing from that building that I could not identify. THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD IS 'YESHUA' - THE ONLY BEGOTTEN SON OF JEHOVAH JIREH!
Most organizations, if not all, religious or not, have symbolic gestures and practices to represent something honorable their group is about or to remind the members of something. Mocking or ridiculing any of them is absolutely heartless and disrespectful beyond words. I don’t care if it’s the VFW, the Boy Scouts, a local knitting club, a union, a sports team, a fishing club, whatever. They ALL have symbolism or superstitions, some big some small, that mean something to them as a group. If you wanted to be nasty you could find a way to spin any of them into something they aren’t and ridicule it. But decent people just don’t do that.
Communion is not ritual cannibalism. The flesh and blood does not represent actually eating human flesh and drinking human blood.
The ritual is representative of something else entirely, not literal. “In remembrance of me”.
The bread is so that we remember his body, which was solid, and that he was real and lived as a man on this earth among us, and his body was beaten and broken while he was still an innocent man not having broken any laws and free of all sin. He was hated and beaten for that. And he endured that for us, so that we wouldn’t have to take such a punishment. We eat bread in remembrance of his suffering.
The wine is the liquid that reminds us of his blood that was spilt for all of us when he died on the cross to wash our sins away, to cleanse us. In biblical days the blood of the choicest most prized lamb of a flock was the purest sacrifice you could ever make. Well in God’s flock, Jesus was the purest of us all - without any sin, perfect. So he was the perfect sacrifice for our shitty sins. Yeah, he even did that for you. He did that for all of us, to save us, because with his perfect sacrifice he had the power to die once for all of us so that anyone that accepted his sacrifice would never have to pay the price for their sins. (“The wages of sin is death”) God made that law, and as the judge who rightfully had to find us all guilty, according to the law he made, he was then able to come down from the bench and take off his robe and accept the punishment on our behalf. Like ANY loving father would do for his own child if he could. We drink the wine to remember he spilt his perfect blood for us even while we didn’t deserve it, while we were still sinners.
The belief is that the bread and wine become the actual flesh and blood
after the priest says some magic words over them.
'The Roman Catholic Church holds to the view of the Lord’s Supper called transubstantiation. It is the view that the bread and the wine become the actual body and blood of Christ, yet still retain the appearance of bread and wine.'
But even they believe that the bread and wine are still *physically* bread and wine, just that their "true substance" becomes flesh and blood, in some metaphysical way that is more true than "merely physical nature". I think that view is a misunderstanding, but even so it's AT BEST "technically correct but highly misleading" to call it cannibalism (and arguably not even technically correct).
Ahhh see ... I am not Catholic. I am a Biblical New Testament Christian, which I guess is Protestant. We don't believe in transubstantiation at all. We believe the Bible is clear in the symbolic representation of that event. We differ in other significant ways with the more orthodox religions too.
For instance: infant baptism. No where in the Bible are infants baptized, nor does God or Jesus or any disciple or prophet instruct anyone to baptize a baby. The only thing that even comes close is in Samuel where at the age of 2, not as a baby, Samuel's mother dedicates him to God. That is why most protestants dedicate their children and don't baptize them as infants. We believe the Bible is very clear that baptism was used to openly express and declare when one has chosen to follow God and is ready to live their life for him and follow Jesus’ ways, but it happens only when they are at a point in their life where they understand what that choice is and make it of their own accord, and then receive the Holy Spirit. This can happen at varying ages for each person, but they can't possibly intellectually understand that choice to be made as a baby. (I was 10 when I first fully understood, while my husband was 24.) We also believe God is clear that children are precious and protected by him until such a time when they have acquired the full, cognitive awareness to either choose him or reject him. Until then, they are perfectly safe and if they die before they have that awareness to make a choice, they will go to heaven. The Catholic practice of infant baptism is one that was created by man and became a tradition for them for reasons I understand but don't feel is Biblically mandated or supported. They truly believe an unbaptized baby will go to hell if it dies. That is a manmade notion and has no basis anywhere in the Bible. But churches have all kinds of practices they do at each service or within their families that aren't necessarily mandated by the Bible or practiced within it, but it is something that they enjoy as a way to express their faith. It doesn't make it bad or wrong. It's just a different expression of faith.
However, having said all that, what I DO understand of transubstantiation for the Catholic church is that it is NOT the same as cannibalism at all and such a comparison is sort of juvenile. Cannibals consume the flesh of a DEAD person in a way that "uses it up" AND profanes the corpse. And even if done in an innocent way, such as to keep someone alive on the side of a mountain in a frozen wilderness after a plane crash, once gone it's gone and has no more use beyond the period of days of nutrition that it gave. But the sacrament of the Eucharist is Jesus freely giving of himself fully while he is ALIVE and it is for our spiritual sustenance, not physical nutrition in the way that "meat" would give. They believe he is giving of his living body and soul to sustain us and it does not kill him or diminish his life in any way - it and He are endless - sort of like he is sharing his life with us in this way and he continues to live on in us. I can respect their interpretation even though I don't agree with it or believe that's what Jesus meant in the Bible. We believe it is to be done in remembrance of him, they believe it is to be done to receive spiritual sustenance. Both of us believe it brings Christ to the room and to feel closer to him.
It's a difference that doesn't matter in the greater picture. For instance, you can drive a Volvo and I can choose a Harley but we both arrive at the same place taking the same road. Which vehicle we choose doesn't matter. Which road we choose might. However, if I choose to use gasoline and you choose to use orange juice, one of us isn't going to get out of the driveway. In the same way, some things DO matter in the interpretation of the Bible, while other things are less critical to what we are supposed to be doing. What both Catholics and I believe is that God is three persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirt, that Jesus was the son of God, and accepting that is the only way to heaven, and the Holy Spirit is given to us on this earth to help us while we live here because we can't do it without HIm. Jesus is the road, and the Holy Spirit is the gasoline. The eucharist can be Volvo for them but a Harley for me
These are the Words of Jesus Himself, not a prophet nor an interpretation. Take them literally.
Here are some other connections to this fact:
“But the heavens and the earth which are now preserved by the same word, are reserved for fire until the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.”
In context, "heaven and earth" is a turn of phrase to describe "the whole universe"; "heaven" is the skies above and "earth" is the earth beneath. "Heaven and earth" (being the current physical universe) will pass away, and be replaced by "a new heavens and a new earth". The author isn't referring here to "heaven" in the sense of God's dwelling place (because, I would argue, that was only ever a symbolic description to begin with - "God is in the heavens, he does whatever he pleases" describes God as metaphorically high above humans, not as literally living somewhere out in space).
It conveys that whatever the circumstances, whatever and to whomever, whether death or life, happy or sad, terrible or magnificent, the Sovereign King of Heaven and earth, sitting on His Throne is still in control of it all...
Honest question: Has even ONE of the Olympic athletes condemned this stupid stunt?...Recognizing their years and years of hard work and dedication by offering up a debauched freakshow?... One?....I don't pay much attention to these distractions. I do recall the deafening silence of a great many "experts" and "professionals" concerning a different matter. That didn't work out too well. (Aaron Rodgers, Kyrie Irving and Novak Djokovic collectively shake their heads).
Citizen Free Press had this link with the headline "There is absolutely zero chance that Djokovic didn't remember this clip when he beat the shit out of Rafa Nadal today in Paris." : https://x.com/CitizenFreePres/status/1817953738142670963
“No-Vax” MORE!) but he mentions consequences here. Rafa is no doubt seeing and feeling consequences of his clot shots every match. He has retired, has he not?
“The Destroy the Olympics Committee” is off to good start. 1) Perfectly timed Atmospheric River 2) Satanic Opening Ceremony 3) Train System Down 4) Power Outage 5) Dysfunctional Olympic Village. What’s next?
Don’t forget the air conditioning. Hot and humid. Ah, the pleasures of the French Accords. If one athlete wakes up after this debacle, then it was a success.
In Daily Mail, but it was yesterday..one athlete had his own mattress delivered, (cardboard beds), there is no air conditioning, they have fake meat options like 'no dog' (fake hot dog), 60% is plant based, athletes are so desperate for protein that all the eggs are gone because the catering didn't expect so many to be consumed, portions are small, etc.

Surrendered to transnationalists like they surrendered to nazis. Pardon my French, mais oui, l'aperitif, l'entrée, et les hors d’oeuvres, formidable! Unless you're an Olympic athlete. “Many live as enemies of the cross of Christ. Their destiny is destruction, their god is their stomach, and their glory is in their shame. Their mind is set on earthly things. But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ” (Philippians 3:18-20).
omg that is horrifying. I actually feel very sorry for them. That must be hard to focus and compete if they can't get proper nutrition while they are there.
🙄 here we go. I really wish ppl would do a little research before parroting this stuff. Plants have protein! And it’s even more absorbable. Look at horses, straight up muscle, straight vegetarians. I don’t eat meat bc I think it’s gross. And I don’t preach about it either. But I sure get tired of all the vegan/vegetarian bashing! Have you ever met one w a protein deficiency? Bc I haven’t. Look up some vegan body builders, they exist and they’re huge. Just let us be 😒
Vegetable protein lacks key amino acids and other nutrients that come from meat (creatine, taurine, carnitine, vit D, DHA, Heme Iron). Supplements are a poor substitute. The body can make some of these itself, but as you age they decline and not eating meat will compound the shortfalls.
I have known SEVERAL seriously ill and very unhealthy looking vegans, yes. I appreciate that you dont preach. most of my vegan friends do and I spend most of my FB time snoozing them because its so tiresome.
For regular folks, vegan/vegetarian is doable but these are elite athletes. Their diet while training and competing are crucial to their performance. I copied and pasted this from 'swim dad.'
“half of which are vegetarian” ???? Seriously???
There might be a trend in vacationing tourist preferences, but sports performance at decent level requires 2-2.5 grams of protein per 1 kg of body weight. Most animal sources (meat, chicken, eggs) are only 25% of protein by weight. It’s quite hard to eat that much of animal based food to fulfill the requirements. From my understanding, famous statements about consuming 10,000 kcal a day come not from being super hungry, but from intentionally overeating to keep muscle synthesis and metabolism at high levels.
Plant based protein content by weight %% cannot be compared with meat/chicken/egg. On top of that it has far less essential aminos, and those are greatly skewed towards non essential amino acids. It’s a known fact that if a person switches to vegetarian diet, the biggest risk is drop in usable protein consumption.
There is a much less advertised cost component. For obvious reasons vegetarian food is much less expensive and easier to store. Promoting vegetarian foods decreases costs, while allowing to charge about the same price – nicer margins…
I quit eating meat in high school and didn’t eat any meat until many years later when I was rushed to the hospital- my hemoglobin was 4! I declined a transfusion and set out to fix my iron. First thing on the list was that I had to eat red meat. And take vitamin C. Also went off PPI’s as they were keeping my body from absorbing iron. A few other tweaks and a month later got my hemoglobin to 11. I still struggle to keep my iron up and have to eat meat a minimum of 3 days a week. Some people do fine on a vegetarian diet, I was not one of them. Moderation in all things.
My youngest daughter has been dating a high level athlete for the last few years who is plant based and also understands at some point as he ages his body will most likely require animal protein. I added beef gelatin several years ago to my Pescatarian diet and certainly don’t look weak or unhealthy.
horses that eat hay and cows that eat only grass create their own protein in their stomachs. They have different digestion than humans. Cows have one stomach with four compartments that process their food & create their own protein, that gives their milk casein & whey which has all the amino acids. Horses also synthesize their own protein from the grass & hay they eat through their blind gut which is sort of like our appendix but huge. Race horses & working horses do get supplemental protein in their feed, but most horses make enough in their digestive system. (Thank you FFA!)
I did see something on the local or national news yesterday about a bunch of them getting their own hotel room. They were running through the halls screaming with joy.
Surprised there are any hotel rooms left in the city, perhaps all the sane people went home after the opening spectacles and power outages.
I’m red pilling my ignorant sister over these games. ( she still goes to Disneyland multiple times a year) She just said, they had better not say how wonderful these games went when they’re over. I said Oh they will they only have one playbook!
Thank you - I have had the same pain and frustration over this. I have ALWAYS loved the Olympics. I just love most sports in general. And I got to see the Olympics live in Atlanta when I was 16. It was so special. So to watch the way this horrid committee has destroyed the games and used them for evil (2012 comes to mind), it's nothing short of devastating. I hate that these monsters are ruining this for us.
I read that Brendan Brazier would go vegan for the 2024 Tour D'France. He didn't win a thing & I can't even find that he finished it. so much for being able to compete without meat......
Eric, most "experts and professionals" are silent especially when things they endorsed or support go south and fail miserably. See - the jab and scamdemic. 🤔😉
Why do the ''Olympic Games'' have the monopoly on athletic awards?
Why don't the athletes come up with something better for themselves?
Are the sponsors putting on the athletic equivalent of the Oscars, or the woke portions of the NFL?
The sponsors for the Olympics appear to be no better than the drug companies sponsoring all livestream services like Hulu (owned by Disney, I think I saw the other day) et al, and corporate media.
It's demeaning to the athletes to have to depend on the Olympics for recognition and awards.
The Olympics lost whatever beauty they had when professional athletes were included. The idea of the Olympics was amateur athletes compete. The most thrilling Olympics I’ve watched were the Miracle on Ice, the forgotten sports coming to win unexpectedly, and the work it took to get there. When they started making it about millionaire basketball stars being selected to add another trophy to their cases at home, I was completely turned off. I know that this turn supposedly allowed more eyeballs to all the Olympic events and more money in sponsorship dollars, but they are hardly watchable any longer. They are now a large middle finger to America and the American people. Brittany Griner playing for the U.S. women’s team? She spit on the American people and the flag. We allowed her to compete?
Maybe this is God giving us a slap upside the head, telling us, “when is it enough? Too much?” When do we stand up and say no more….NO MORE!
If you know the history of the Olympic Games, they had a few caveats: no city-state was allowed to compete if they were in war; the winners were awarded a laurel branch, and their home town would tear down a part of their wall (we have an Olympian, we don't need walls to defend us). My how things have changed
There have been controversies in all the modern day Olympics, but we believed that we rose above those conflicts and were better for it. Perhaps we just kept pushing what they really were farther down the road to this ending, a grandiose statement to crap and evil.
But then I watched the men’s gymnasts compete in the team finals and the joy of winning a bronze medal by these guys was equivalent to any gold celebration. That’s what it is about, perhaps.
🎯 Because we have generations of cowards who would rather protect their endorsements, fame, fortune and ability to play sports for a living rather than get real jobs that impact real life. And we expect THEM to stand up and risk it all? They are overpaid (on purpose) to keep the public distracted. We love entertainment and sports and so those are the places they pay astronomical monies to, and elevate people to be celebrities that people fawn all over and wanna be like. I never understood why someone makes MILLIONS to hit a ball, catch a ball, throw a ball etc. And why garbage men barely make enough to feed their families, teachers make squat, firemen and police make squat to risk their lives, assembly line workers make peanuts in comparison.
I haven’t seen ONE of them stand up. The only thing I’ve seen is C Spire company stand up, and I hope they get so busy from new business it makes their heads spin. The reward should go to the courageous!! Those athletes should take notice of the examples you gave. They aren’t suffering for standing up for what’s right….they are being applauded. But it isn’t an easy path. Just asked the men who died to give us our very freedom. They sacrificed it all. Ask the men in the Bible who were murdered for standing up. I bet they don’t regret ever doing what they did even though they were murdered for it.
Um, murdered doesn't really do it justice. Thomas, for one example (yes, doubting Thomas) was FLAYED in India for his proselytizing. But of course, Jesus is a myth, didn't really die and the apostles went out in tortuous ways to support the gaslighting of him being the son of God. Right liberal atheists and other non-Christians? Isn't that your story? Nice guy; myth; not God incarnate? Uh-huh.
I suggest you learn the Gospel - the incarnation, life, death and resurrection of Jesus - the Gospel. The Good News. The freedom from worry, guilt and emotional pain. The source of all hope in the universe.
Jesus is the only way off this planet into eternal bliss. The only way. It's a one-way street. There's two streets, of course. The narrow path to heaven and the highway to hell. Which path are you on?
END TIMESsteria: Best Satanic Olympics Memes (GrOoOomers!)
Guess who is banned (& not banned), wOoOoke, 6o6o6, pedo-olympics, how it started (& how its going), even Iran was outraged (as Muslims consider Jesus a prophet of God) & more satanic Olympics memes!
I did see a guy on Twitter/X whom I think was a boxer talking about how disgusted he was. I'm not a sports person so I wasn't familiar with him and can't remember his name.
Apparently the athletes also were told they couldn’t “praise Jesus” but I did see a story where one did so in sign language “BREAKING: Rayssa Leal, a Catholic skater won a Bronze Medal at the Paris World Olympics and she allegedly was told she wasn't allowed to praise Jesus Christ. Leal responded by saying 'Jesus is the way, the truth and the life' in sign
Not long ago, it occured to me that ALL ceremonies and award shows are for them to be worshipped and idolized. They put on a "show" to "show" us. Most or all of the participants are likely "granted" entry to participate like in any field: sport, movie, music, medical etc. Those who don't, never reach the top.
Not Jill. She’s hiding under a rock with probable major suicide watch depression after her so carefully orchestrated assassination attempt failed. Oh, how the mighty have fallen🥳
Am I the only one starting to get very scared that Trump may lose?
While Biden was running, even foreign leaders were talking to Trump as if he would most definitely be the next President, but I am getting really scared right now.
I don’t think we can afford to rest on our laurels, we need to do everything we can to win and to make sure they can’t cheat (or at least not enough to allow them to pretend to win).
Keep the faith Angela, keep praying. We know that they’ll try everything to defeat him, but I’m trusting that God spared his life for a reason. God, and God alone saved him in that assassination attempt, so I KNOW that He is working in this.
Trump recently said in an interview that Christians don't get out to vote in big numbers, and that he does not know why? I never knew this.
The Evangelical vote helped him win in 2016, but I don't see much being said now. I am not Evangelical, so maybe brothers and sisters in Christ who are here can clarify what is going on.
Don’t loose heart. They told us Killary was ahead by 90% I’ve never seen so much evidence that God is moving in my lifetime. I get terrified at times too, but keep an eye on the good stuff or take a complete break from it all. Hang in there 🙏🏻
even Jimmy Carter was supposed to have a second term, yet he conceded before Hawaii finished voting. After that, the main stream propaganda, euphemistically known as news, decided not to call races until all voting ended.
Because of what happened with polls and Hillary (she was projected to smash Trump), I don't really take them all that seriously. They are small samples of people, and the people who do the polls can easily skew them one way or the other: Poll 2,000 people but use the 1200 or fewer that produce the result you want. In other words, cherry picking.
“If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.”
In Ezekiel 22:30 the Lord says, “I looked for someone among them who would build up the wall and stand before me in the gap on behalf of the land so I would not have to destroy it, but I found no one.” The word picture painted in this verse is that of a wall with a hole or a gap in it. A wall was the best means of protection in ancient times. A breach in the wall would let the enemy through. If there was a breach in the wall, defenders would have to swarm to that location and hold the breach. The gap would need to be repaired as soon as possible. If a breach was left unattended or unrepaired, the city would fall.
I apologize for repeating this public service message but it needs to be. The WH/gov is being run by no other than Antony Blinkin’s WestExecLLC who is very connected to Ukraine. He also plays guitar in a band - especially in other countries.
All I was thinking when I read it was ‘holy cow, what will the next few months be like with a dementia-ridden, lame duck President?’ It could go a lot of ways, none of them good. This packing the court thing is the first desperate salvo.
Democrats have nothing positive to run on so they have make up issues like Trump being a threat to democracy and the Supreme Court needs to be packed with democrats- may work for their brain dead base but not for anyone capable of thinking for themselves
I know my parents were very grateful to have been able to adopt me and my sister (different age and birth parents), they donated to the adoption agency for decades afterwards, in spite of I am sure having to pay the costs of our adoptions.
There’s a couple in our church who just adopted a baby boy after a long period of infertility. They certainly are loving parents.
With reliable birth control and with people getting married later, when women are less fertile, I think that your unfortunate experience with your mother being cruel enough to say what she said is much less common these days, and I would be hard pressed to say one or the other.
Not a lot of infants available for adoption thanks to Ok Planned Un Parenthood & Plan B. It is really unfortunate, as has been noted most unplanned and initially unwanted babies actually come to be wanted, desired and cherished from data from decades past interviewing parents afterwards. It is kinda like the situation with gender confusion/dysphoria, whatever, which 90+% out grow.
I am not sure what you mean by me taking the brunt of something. My father was a sales executive for a railroad equipment manufacturer, mom stayed home until I was a senior in high school. We never wanted for anything, belonged to country clubs where ever we lived, always had a Buick or slightly used Cadillac or Mercedes; they could afford to be generous to the adoption agency. The only thing I was the brunt of was their figuring out how to be parents as a first born.
Karen, no need to be sorry. I never felt any burden of being adopted. My parents celebrated my (and my sister’s) adoption day as well as my birthday from the beginning (I was adopted 2 days after my first birthday) with cake and a present, just the same as my birthday, so I always knew that I was adopted, that they chose me particularly, and that my birth parents couldn’t take care of me (not that they didn’t want me). As I grew older, adoption day faded, as the recurring celebration had had its impact.
I tell prospective adoptive parents how my parents handled that as a suggestion to them.
Everytime I hear about these hearings about the assassination attempt of Trump, I just wish they could find out who decided that the AGR buildings would not be under the control of the SS and who decided that the SS should not convene with the Butler PD for the 9am meeting that morning and finally how many times did these types of decisions (like not meeting with local PD) happen before July 13… From what I’m hearing Rowe, is a long time bondo type guy, akin to Bill Barr, who is brought in to bury evidence and obfuscate…
Much like Lois Lerhner and the IRS scandal from Obama’s reign, the assassination was not a case of ineptness this one time, it was planned from the inside, and by the Grace of God, a half inch was the difference. They will now try to pass it off as someone dropped the baton, exit Cheatle, stage left and send in someone else “who knows nothing!”. Keep after them.
How was he kept on stage for two minutes after people were yelling "There's a man on the roof!"? There's video with a police officer who clearly understood what they were saying. The new "Stewart video" makes things all the more clear that there were at least 5 police looking around the wrong side of the building after people were clearly pointing at the guy.
I'll be putting on my tinfoil hat and posting a substack within the next few hours, concentrating on all the very weird stuff that happened in the center window of building 6 of AGR. It's mostly screenshots from the explosive "Stewart film", with a little commentary.
And if they don't have something, they will make something up. Remember Schumer's words, "The intelligence agencies have 7 ways to Sunday to get you." Or something to that effect.
Robin, 😂 I just made the same comment. Hopefully they’ll rely on AI for a lot of their dirty work so the supposed dog ends up looking like a chocolate chip cookie. 😂
Doesn't Wray's attitude, posture, and non-verbal communication speak that when he's questioned? Like..."Here's my Bullshit answer blah blah blah..." But the rest of him is answering; (Your car will explode in flames, your mother will be gang-raped and beaten to death, your children will die of turbo stomach cancer, your dog will be eaten by a swarm of sand fleas, your home internet service will be intermittent and the billing screwed up...)
The life of his family members? Remember, we’re dealing with a crime syndicate. Remember the Georgia officials daughter that had a mysterious car accident in 2020?
Yep he was going to look into election integrity until after that then he dropped that. I mean honestly I guess I probably would too. They’re just showing you what they can do to you if you don’t comply.
Yes, Kemp was about to cave in and do an audit of the votes, then Harrison Deal (the boyfriend) was blown up in his car and Kemp backed off. And sadly, the GBI agent who was assigned to investigate the death, had a fatal "heart attack" shortly after beginning his investigation.
There was video posted a year or so ago of a guy taking video of Kemp saying electronic voting machines are not reliable. Kemp's wife escorted him away once she saw the man was taking video. His daughter turned to the man and said "Don't do it...it's not worth it." I knew what she meant.
Kemp may have gotten off easy because he was high profile. Look up Dr. Chris Edwards. They are monsters.
There will be killing, the thing is we need to start doing is what needs doing in bigger numbers. They will not stop until they too, fear for their lives.
RL, I’ve noticed lately that Johnson has aged terribly in the last few months. He seems like a weak old man now instead of the fighter he used to be. I can’t imagine how stressful their lives must be.
Certainly SOMEONE was under the impression that eyes (or security) would be on that building, that roof, the area just outside the fence. IF THE FAKE Narrative IS correct, then any gang of MS-13, trained border-crossing Russian hit squad, or even a pair of Charlottesville NAZIs should be far more difficult to stop than an impetuous unknown loner who had no friends, no communication to ANYONE, who resolutely decided to be the ONE Guy to pay the ultimate price in order to save Democracy ahead of the Republican Convention and before a Rep. VP was selected. Half-second earlier shot would've changed everything. I'm actually surprised Crooks didn't bother to put on some mall cop or trash collector uniform to blend in a bit, maybe he needed an accomplice after all. How exactly DID FBI determine there was no other threat so quickly? Truly Fine and Amazingly Quick Investigative Work followed such a Lapse and Astounding Failure of Poorly performing Professionals (local cops)! Shouldn't THIS EVENT be fully exploited to further fund militarizing the local police!!? C'mon Man!
And I think the patsy was killed by a second shooter because Trump fell. The second shooter thought the job was done and took Crooks out, but a bit too soon. That's what I'm seeing.
was second shooter also on that roof or in the building behind (why Crooks body and gun were in positions they were)? On water tower? Sniper team #3 from far side (to Trump's left) did Not actually take Crooks out? Why did they cover roof outside perimeter to his left but not the even closer roof on his right? More questions than answers but that's why these professional experts aren't ever trusted and never will be. Why didn't Lincoln have Pinkertons at the dammed theater that night?
The AI bit is interesting - my husband keeps telling me that AI isn’t really AI (not artificial INTELLIGENCE) - it’s just more sophisticated computer programming by humans. This sort of supports his argument. Glad the computers still need us I guess 😅
LOL... yeah, I've been telling my sons (one of whom is a programmer) for decades that "Artificial Intelligence" is an oxy-moron. It's a contradiction in terms. If you applied the term to a person, it would be akin to saying he has no intelligence. True AI is a programmer's wet dream.
It's an interesting study. You can get some nifty responses for programming and ideas from AI, but at other times it's _painfully_ obvious that it's just spitting out word salad. I was reading some placeholder copy for a website recently and it was ... bad. The sort of bad that would have any person who generated that be fired almost on the spot. But I've also used it to get some idea of "how would I start this" for programming and it's ... helpful ... but still not perfect.
Just like anything else - you get what you feed into it. With the people in charge trying to filter the information going in or massage the prompts, you get the inevitable nonsense instead of something true/helpful.
My nephew lives in Cali now. He worked with a guy who went to college with Kamala. Said she was “dumber than a box of rocks”. This from a Cali liberal.
Side note: I think the AI results in the example prove that, when it comes to dogs, Golden Retrievers are in fact the superior breed that will one day rule the world. In which case we'll all get along quite well and the world will be a happier place. At least that's what I've experienced in the last 8 years since our pup picked us to be its forever home.
I agree, Golden Retriever’s are the best! We’ve raised two and now have a 3rd who is 11 months old. Always full of joy and just a little goofy. I read an apt description of them in comparison to Labs, if both were human: Labs would be the ones you’d hire as your accountant, reliable, dependable, etc, while Goldens are the life of the party who ends up with a lampshade on his head at the end.
That's hilarious! Our little girl is 8 now and just a love sponge... soaking it in and oozing it out, particularly in her role as a therapy dog at local children's hospital. Have you seen the meme that says, "Golden Retrievers...why do they even make other dogs?" :o) Of course I'm partial but truth is, I love all dogs... they are truly a gift from God, loving us more than we deserve.
I too love all dogs, but have a special place in my heart for Goldens. That’s awesome your dog is a therapy dog for hospitalized children! Kudos to you and your sweet girl for cheering up sick, frightened children! All dogs do love us unconditionally. It reminds me of something I read once: to find out if your dog or your spouse loves you more, lock both of them in a closet for awhile and see who is happy to see you when you open the door😂
“replacement Secret Service Director, who must meet minimum diversity requirements and identify as a gay orangutan.”
Not much about the mess this country seems to be in makes me smile, but this did!
Do not let this assassination attempt fall by the wayside! Keep after them. I post almost nothing on social media that isn’t just keeping up with friends. I was astonished to see a young mother, my daughter’s high school friend post a serious write up about the country we are becoming when we go on social media and wish the attempted assassination had proven successful. She went on to say, this is not right under any circumstances and not the country she wants to raise her two young daughters in. She wants the country she believes she grew up in. This young mother is very non political and is always has kind words for everyone. The tide is turning.
That is good to hear. Thank you for sharing. Just wondering how much push back she received. Years ago, when I tried to point out the absolute lies being told about Trump being a racist even sending her information to back up what I said, she wouldn't even look at it. She just kept repeating the lies. The left truly displays all the hallmarks of a cult.
It's interesting. On my podcast, all of a sudden, I have a series of guests in that same space, talking about how to talk to people, how to engage. Most are conservative (the podcast is apolitical). However I had one guest advocating "getting along" and as soon as the recording was over, she went on a rant about how can anyone not believe in climate change. I guess leopards don't change their spots.
Yes it called maturity and it comes at a price after we've judged all the worldly disenchanted and embattled elders and realized that beauty comes after all your fur is rubbed off, your eyes are cloudy, and your teeth have fallen out from your grit and you must stand apart from those who think the world would be saved if we were all just nice enough. This is the ignorance of the true spiritual nature of man.
But…if the Dems want to go with that, great. Here’s a thought: I’m taking a picture of Vance in a black T-shirt with one word on it: WEIRD. Then I’m taking that picture and putting it on my OWN T-shirt which says, “I’m with him.” So.
Ha! I have been called weird my whole life. In fact, years ago I formed a group of fellow weirdos with the acronym W.E.I.R.D (Wisdom, Eccentricity, Innovation, Resourcefulness, Divine guidance). Being called a weirdo was meant to denigrate me but only made me stronger. The same with being called a Conspiracy Theorist (Critical Thinker). Bring it on!! 😁
I agree with you, Merry. I too am weird. Having bizarre medical conditions that mainstream media didn’t know how to deal with, heavy metal poisoning, and mold poisoning. Thank God for out of the box thinking. For God truly loves his weirdos!
was just watching this post and then some of the embedded tweets. Kakala like to say "[she] can imagine what can be unburdened by what has been", always using her "right" hand for the "can be" and her LEFT hand for "what has been". I guess subconsciously she realizes what is right and what is wrong
Ok, it's obvious that I have to share my thoughts on humanity this am. Everyone is weird. There's just good and bad weird. Good weird is thoughtful, reflective, kind, inventive, loving (add your own descriptors.) you want to be good weird, unique, creative. Bad weird...well you can figure that out. Mean, destructive, domineering, controlling, (add your own descriptors). To the good weird in all of us. 😉
Nope. I grew up when weird was the kid who picked his nose in public, then ate the boogers. Or the kid who ate the school paste, or the one who ate peanut butter sandwiches for lunch, every single day. Weird was something you grew out of, most likely. Creepy was creepy, not a sub heading of weird.
I think they jumped the shark with using “weird” to define JD Vance. They will miss and the shark will eat them.
While I do agree there was the kind of weird you described, there were also kids who got called weird because they were just different from most of the others—they had a very specialized interest or were maybe from a different background so they called those kids weird because they didn’t understand them.
And yes, they perhaps were different, but they grew up and we grew up and we realized different strokes for different folks. Weird, seems to me a word kids use to describe another human being, not adults. We use stronger or lesser words, but seldom do I hear someone described as weird by an adult. It’s just “weird” phrasing by an adult and picked up so quickly by the mockingbird press.
Yes that does seem to be case for the most part. Except maybe teasingly “you’re so weird” but to a good friend who knows you don’t mean that in an insulting way.
Typical French Leftists, they want the world to stop eating meat and driving cars because of climate change, but can't keep one river in their capital from being a toilet. Why is it that the Climate Change crowd never talks about "pollution" which seems to more of a real concern to the planet than an Al Gore hockey stick graph. BTW, I took a college level class on Greek Mythology back in the day. I never saw a Greek statute or painted pottery depicting a 300 lbs obese lesbian nor a Blue Tranny Dionysus. Another thing you will never hear in the media is that apparently devout Muslims are not Pride Enthusiasts. I read an article yesterday where the highest Iman on Egypt explained that Jesus is considered to be a prophet in Islam and they basically consider the Paris spectacle to be utter depravity and blasphemous. According to CNN, it's only the dumb Christians who "don't understand the art."
Does anyone else find it extremely ironic that Biden wants to impose term limits on the justices when he’s been a career politician? And has continued to impose himself on the American people years after his mind had been compromised?!
Here’s how the Parisians should confront their continuing and future ‘bad luck’ —-
“and they *said to the mountains and to the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the presence of Him who sits on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb…”
Jeff, you missed the important part of that picture of Paris during the blackout, unconfirmed or not, which was that magnificent structure off in the distance. “The only thing left illuminated was the Basilica of the Sacre-Coeur, [Sacred Heart] built in the 19th century in reparation for the crimes of the Revolution. The light shines in the darkness, and even in Paris, the darkness did not overcome it.” —Rod Dreher

are you in distress? Do you need prayer?
No, on the contrary, my situation is most excellent.
You could write a letter to Santa Claus for me,
but really I am not in need of anything.
You can pray for World Peace if you wish to pray for something.
Do you need a cleaning crew to clean up all the bird feces?
No, these are Surfin' birds over the ocean.
Bryan, are you a democrat?
No, I am a Free Thinking Independant.
are you new around here???
I believe Bryan is what is termed "a devout contrarian"!!
That would be an apt description.
How does YOUR garden grow, Bryan?
I am a 'guerrilla gardener'. I don't own any dirt
of my own so I grow in a public space.
I kill many of plants that I stick in the ground, after a few weeks.
But after a decade of effort, I have built up a good soil base,
and my garden is growing quite well now.
Thank you for asking.
How wonderful - making the public space more beautiful..a noble pursuit, Bryan.
Indeed, as is warning us about the next shamdemic. Is that what the lyrics were for, Bryan?
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways And My thoughts than your thoughts.
Isaiah 55:9
This is what I hold onto. Just lost my newborn grandson. And I am having some intense conversations with God.
Renea, I am so sorry for your loss, a grief I cannot even imagine. Asking the Lord to comfort as only He can and to fill all the empty places with His peace. Hugs to you.
❤️
So sorry for your family's loss, Renea. Your precious grandson is alive in the presence of God Almighty.
Amen!!!!!
I am so sorry. Prayers for comfort for you and your family…
I am so sorry for you and your families loss of your Grandson. Lean in to HIM during this time. Sending prayers
😭so very sorry💔I always pray for someone who needs “extra”today, and today, it must be you💞
Thank you. I prayed for all that I was worth as we waited for good or bad news. And those prayers were answered with a giant no. I know God is good but it does not take away the pain or unanswered questions. I will never get to sing to this new one, or hold him and snuggle him, kiss his eewwahhhs. I know I will get to see him again. We will bury him on family property tomorrow after paper work is dealt with. My large flower garden has now been renamed Finn's Garden.
What a beautiful tribute. So sorry for your loss. Lord, hold Renea and her family extra close today. May HE continue to give you strength and comfort as you go through this impossibly hard time.
YES YES YES!
I am so sorry for your loss. We did this after my sister was killed in a car accident. I would sit on the bench and listen to the creek and birds. It brought me great solace. I hope it does the same for you.
The name also reminds me of my mother’s favorite hymn “In the Garden.”
I come to the garden alone
while the dew is still on the roses
And the voice I hear
Falling on my ear
The son of God discloses…
Light, love, and strength to you and your family. 💞💔
“He speaks and the sound of His voice
Is so sweet, the birds hush their singing…
And the melody that He brings to me,
within my heart keeps ringing……
And He walks with me and He talks with me,
And He tells me I am His own…
And the joy we share as we tarry there…
None other has ever known.
This is 1 of the 2 hymns of the Christian faith I have requested be played at my memorial service--the other one is "His Eye is on the Sparrow" and I want the version by ETHEL WATERS whom I listened to many times as she sang this very hymn at Billy Graham's crusades!! Someday I'll sing it WITH Ethel Waters in the Lord Jesus' BRIGHT KINGDOM!
I sang it for both my dad’s and my mom’s funerals.
What a LOVING TRIBUTE and 'fond adieu' for your parents - imagine singing in TOGETHER once again in the LORD JESUS' BRIGHT KINGDOM!!
Shalom, G.L.!!
I prefer it sung by Mahalia Jackson!
Lovely thought!
❤️
Garden Lover: So beautiful and meaningful. My favorite song, too.
That is a a hymn we use at so many of our family funerals since I was a kid. Cemented in my memory
And remember that old adage, "We're closest to God in a garden"....and Finn is frolicking in GOD'S GARDEN right now!
We know that in God’s economy, Finn is not gone.
I love that you named your garden Finn’s Garden 😢 And what a beautiful name they chose.
You are in very good company with GIANT hole in your heart and lots of unanswered questions.
Not to take away from your pain - so many here have lost children or grandchildren - but in sympathy thinking on the family I posted about who in June lost their 6 year old in.a freak accident when her siblings were playing. She died almost instantly.
This life really is filled with SO much pain. Thankful for the Psalms when David cried out! 💕🫂
Dang,! Deep heavy pain for anyone losing a child.
Yes! So so much. They talk about darkness they feel and the rawness of the pain! 🫂
I weep for you. This life is so hard. We must learn to help carry each others burdens. I'm speechless but my heart is with you. I'm so sorry.
❤️
🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻🙆♀️
As a parent who has lost unborn babies and our adult only daughter, I have learned that God's plan is not always our plan but He has comforted us and used these losses to grow us and to comfort others. Don't lose faith and seek His will through your pain. Praying He will give you a special revelation of His love and comfort. 🙏🏻📖🕊️
Jesus holds him now. It's what we all want for ourselves and others just in our own 'time'. You will hold him for certain. God has a great interest in bringing all He has chosen to come to pass and His Word says that He believes with us in our grief. He is intimately experienced your pain. "He has born our griefs"... Not only carries them with us but He suffers under it also with us. He sees what we cannot. It is our test to trust His eye. He will also hold you fast in these times of your complete anguish. 🙏🏼❤️🌹
What a wonderful prayer practice, Carol. I’m going to adopt it.
Prayers for those who need “extra” today 🙏🏻
I second this is a beautiful prayer practice.
❤️
Condolences to you & your family; may you all find peace & comfort that the world can never give but God can.
I am truly so sorry for your loss of your precious grandson…I can’t imagine…may the peace of God cover you and help you as you journey through this time of intense grief and lost.
We lost our granddaughter during childbirth and still can’t wrap my head around how He let this happen. His will.
💔my heart breaks with you.
"The LORD gave and the LORD has taken away;
blessed be the name of the LORD!” 😔🙏🏻❤️
What grief! Oh, my soul cries out for your loss. May His presence fill you with peace and comfort that extends beyond what each of you can comprehend.
I am so so sorry. Death and tragedy in childbirth is rarely talked about but it is real. I used to do statistics for mother baby in hospital.
I’m so sorry Barbara 😢💔😞
And @ 70....I just acquired my first grandchild last April. Harvey!
The future does not look as .GOV certain as they continue to advertise does it?
Sorry for your loss. And all the heartache that has entered the family.
We must be much more demanding about every thing going wrong for sure.
Congratulations!! Grandchildren are everything they are cracked up to be. Oddly my husband gets the most emotional over his grandchildren. He loves his two kids, but the grands do something even more to his heart.
maybe that's why they are called "grands" ?!?
💕💕💕🌸🌸🌸
I am so sorry for your loss. May the Lord give you peace and the knowledge that Finn is joyful in heaven. You are in my prayers.
I am happy for you. My mom got her first at 70 also. 💕
Bingo...
Along with a new dog named Monty.
He's the other new peach in my life .
💕💕😁 Puppies bring me such joy
Congratulations Randall!!
Renea , words can’t express how sorry I am for your loss . My heart goes out to you and your precious family. Sending prayers of comfort . God bless .
Amen!
Amen!
And you chose right. Stay in His ways, He will comfort your spirit.
That’s so unbelievably sad. I am very sorry. I pray you find peace and comfort in your conversations with God.
Yes. I am moved to tears for her and her familys pain
My heart is moved by your unspeakable loss--HOWEVER...that grandson is waiting for his family to join him in the "sweet bye and bye". And...I would like to share a wonderful story about a friend of mine who lives in FL--her only child--a daughter--finally married a 'good guy' and they had 1 son....tried for another child--lost THREE - 1 of them was still born (a little girl). Many prayers were prayed by everyone who knew this family and MIRACLE OF MIRACLES...this daughter had a SECOND SON who is very sprightly and healthy. THEN...TOTALLY 'UNPLANNED' our Wondrous God gave that family a THIRD HEALTHY CHILD--A LITTLE GIRL....which my friend's daughter wanted a daughter SO MUCH. Now...my friend who bemoaned to me in 2013, "I don't think I'll ever have a grandchild" has THREE HEALTHY GRANDCHILDREN.
PRAYER IS DIRECT CONTACT WITH A MAGNIFICNETLY POWERFUL GIVER OF LIFE AND LOVE!!!
Shalom!!
God is why we never say never!
My heart breaks for you and your family 💔🙏🏻
Praying for you and all your family. Like you said, we won’t know why until we meet again.
So very sorry for your loss 💔
I repeat this verse to myself almost daily, W.S. - especially when considering in MY mind the awful turbulent nature of humanity and WHY does our Creator God love US--despicable despots that we are--SO MUCH! Then...this verse pops into my "cerebrum" --MGNIFICO--is our wondrous Savior...JESUS CHRIST THE LORD OF HEAVEN AND EARTH AND ALL THAT WAS, IS AND EVER SHALL BE!!
That’s a great finish!
Even higher than Bryan Dair! 🤣 Speaking of doggie chocolate chip cookies, that little AI setback is minor for computer programmers, but it reminds me, “The wisdom of this world is foolishness in God’s sight” (1 Corinthians 3:19). Good authority tells us God finds man-made visions of superiority amusing, pitiful even: “The One enthroned in heaven laughs; the Lord scoffs at them” (Psalm 2:4). What do you bet the 21st century keeps God laughing and scoffing?
Amen
The Word is Eternal. The Word is Jesus Christ. The Word is the sWord of the Spirit. Get The Word into you. Get into The Word. You cannot get into heaven by imitating or regurgitate The Word. You must repent and be changed. Jesus Christ isn't just a great idea.
He is the LIVING WORD!
Thank you!
Amen and Amen!!
Note in the photo of the blackout including by Jeff, there is a luminescent building to the left, radiating white light (albeit reflected light). Somehow the Basilque de Sacre Coeur, the Basilica of the Sacred Heart, had electrical power while the rest of the City of Light went dark.
That church sits on the highest elevation in Paris. It has had perpetual adoration of the Blessed Sacrament — the blessed host which the Catholic Church holds to be the very Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ — where the faithful maintain vigilant adoration before the Eucharistic Lord 24/7/365 for over 150 years.
And this past Sunday was the first of six successive Sundays wherein every Catholic Church in the world will be reading and preaching the sixth chapter of John’s Gospel, the Bread of Life discourse, wherein Jesus proclaims very clearly no less than three times that His Body is true food and His Blood is true drink.
Quite the set of coincidences, eh?
Thank you for educating us, Gordo - I was wondering why that "single beam of light" was evanescing from that building that I could not identify. THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD IS 'YESHUA' - THE ONLY BEGOTTEN SON OF JEHOVAH JIREH!
Shalom!
The Sacre Coeur is beautiful! Was there on the steps on a sunny day in 1983. 🌅 😊
So, basically practicing ritual cannibalism then.
Uh, no. Consuming divinity.
How is consuming flesh and blood not cannibalism?
Sounds like some sort of macabre death cult.
Most organizations, if not all, religious or not, have symbolic gestures and practices to represent something honorable their group is about or to remind the members of something. Mocking or ridiculing any of them is absolutely heartless and disrespectful beyond words. I don’t care if it’s the VFW, the Boy Scouts, a local knitting club, a union, a sports team, a fishing club, whatever. They ALL have symbolism or superstitions, some big some small, that mean something to them as a group. If you wanted to be nasty you could find a way to spin any of them into something they aren’t and ridicule it. But decent people just don’t do that.
Communion is not ritual cannibalism. The flesh and blood does not represent actually eating human flesh and drinking human blood.
The ritual is representative of something else entirely, not literal. “In remembrance of me”.
The bread is so that we remember his body, which was solid, and that he was real and lived as a man on this earth among us, and his body was beaten and broken while he was still an innocent man not having broken any laws and free of all sin. He was hated and beaten for that. And he endured that for us, so that we wouldn’t have to take such a punishment. We eat bread in remembrance of his suffering.
The wine is the liquid that reminds us of his blood that was spilt for all of us when he died on the cross to wash our sins away, to cleanse us. In biblical days the blood of the choicest most prized lamb of a flock was the purest sacrifice you could ever make. Well in God’s flock, Jesus was the purest of us all - without any sin, perfect. So he was the perfect sacrifice for our shitty sins. Yeah, he even did that for you. He did that for all of us, to save us, because with his perfect sacrifice he had the power to die once for all of us so that anyone that accepted his sacrifice would never have to pay the price for their sins. (“The wages of sin is death”) God made that law, and as the judge who rightfully had to find us all guilty, according to the law he made, he was then able to come down from the bench and take off his robe and accept the punishment on our behalf. Like ANY loving father would do for his own child if he could. We drink the wine to remember he spilt his perfect blood for us even while we didn’t deserve it, while we were still sinners.
The belief is that the bread and wine become the actual flesh and blood
after the priest says some magic words over them.
'The Roman Catholic Church holds to the view of the Lord’s Supper called transubstantiation. It is the view that the bread and the wine become the actual body and blood of Christ, yet still retain the appearance of bread and wine.'
But even they believe that the bread and wine are still *physically* bread and wine, just that their "true substance" becomes flesh and blood, in some metaphysical way that is more true than "merely physical nature". I think that view is a misunderstanding, but even so it's AT BEST "technically correct but highly misleading" to call it cannibalism (and arguably not even technically correct).
Well, even symbolically receiving the 'Body of Christ'
in a ritual seems a bit macabre to me.
But, that's just what I think.
Fair enough. It was weird to his followers back then too. (John 6:51-66)
Ahhh see ... I am not Catholic. I am a Biblical New Testament Christian, which I guess is Protestant. We don't believe in transubstantiation at all. We believe the Bible is clear in the symbolic representation of that event. We differ in other significant ways with the more orthodox religions too.
For instance: infant baptism. No where in the Bible are infants baptized, nor does God or Jesus or any disciple or prophet instruct anyone to baptize a baby. The only thing that even comes close is in Samuel where at the age of 2, not as a baby, Samuel's mother dedicates him to God. That is why most protestants dedicate their children and don't baptize them as infants. We believe the Bible is very clear that baptism was used to openly express and declare when one has chosen to follow God and is ready to live their life for him and follow Jesus’ ways, but it happens only when they are at a point in their life where they understand what that choice is and make it of their own accord, and then receive the Holy Spirit. This can happen at varying ages for each person, but they can't possibly intellectually understand that choice to be made as a baby. (I was 10 when I first fully understood, while my husband was 24.) We also believe God is clear that children are precious and protected by him until such a time when they have acquired the full, cognitive awareness to either choose him or reject him. Until then, they are perfectly safe and if they die before they have that awareness to make a choice, they will go to heaven. The Catholic practice of infant baptism is one that was created by man and became a tradition for them for reasons I understand but don't feel is Biblically mandated or supported. They truly believe an unbaptized baby will go to hell if it dies. That is a manmade notion and has no basis anywhere in the Bible. But churches have all kinds of practices they do at each service or within their families that aren't necessarily mandated by the Bible or practiced within it, but it is something that they enjoy as a way to express their faith. It doesn't make it bad or wrong. It's just a different expression of faith.
However, having said all that, what I DO understand of transubstantiation for the Catholic church is that it is NOT the same as cannibalism at all and such a comparison is sort of juvenile. Cannibals consume the flesh of a DEAD person in a way that "uses it up" AND profanes the corpse. And even if done in an innocent way, such as to keep someone alive on the side of a mountain in a frozen wilderness after a plane crash, once gone it's gone and has no more use beyond the period of days of nutrition that it gave. But the sacrament of the Eucharist is Jesus freely giving of himself fully while he is ALIVE and it is for our spiritual sustenance, not physical nutrition in the way that "meat" would give. They believe he is giving of his living body and soul to sustain us and it does not kill him or diminish his life in any way - it and He are endless - sort of like he is sharing his life with us in this way and he continues to live on in us. I can respect their interpretation even though I don't agree with it or believe that's what Jesus meant in the Bible. We believe it is to be done in remembrance of him, they believe it is to be done to receive spiritual sustenance. Both of us believe it brings Christ to the room and to feel closer to him.
It's a difference that doesn't matter in the greater picture. For instance, you can drive a Volvo and I can choose a Harley but we both arrive at the same place taking the same road. Which vehicle we choose doesn't matter. Which road we choose might. However, if I choose to use gasoline and you choose to use orange juice, one of us isn't going to get out of the driveway. In the same way, some things DO matter in the interpretation of the Bible, while other things are less critical to what we are supposed to be doing. What both Catholics and I believe is that God is three persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirt, that Jesus was the son of God, and accepting that is the only way to heaven, and the Holy Spirit is given to us on this earth to help us while we live here because we can't do it without HIm. Jesus is the road, and the Holy Spirit is the gasoline. The eucharist can be Volvo for them but a Harley for me
A new heaven and earth will be created, in the future, after Jesus returns and finishes the plan of the father, according to the Bible Isaiah 65:17-18
Amen! And Revelation
These are the Words of Jesus Himself, not a prophet nor an interpretation. Take them literally.
Here are some other connections to this fact:
“But the heavens and the earth which are now preserved by the same word, are reserved for fire until the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.”
II Peter 3:7 NKJV
https://bible.com/bible/114/2pe.3.7.NKJV
“Then the sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved out of its place.”
Revelation 6:14 NKJV
https://bible.com/bible/114/rev.6.14.NKJV
There's the heavens we see and there's a heaven beyond we cannot see. So much beyond our comprehension but He still includes us.
Maybe pass away from our sight? Maybe pass away if we turn away and cut off our connection to heaven?
In context, "heaven and earth" is a turn of phrase to describe "the whole universe"; "heaven" is the skies above and "earth" is the earth beneath. "Heaven and earth" (being the current physical universe) will pass away, and be replaced by "a new heavens and a new earth". The author isn't referring here to "heaven" in the sense of God's dwelling place (because, I would argue, that was only ever a symbolic description to begin with - "God is in the heavens, he does whatever he pleases" describes God as metaphorically high above humans, not as literally living somewhere out in space).
Read or listen to the book called Heaven by Randy Alcorn for the long answer

“Therefore, be cheerful, men, for I believe God that it will turn out exactly as I have been told.”

Isaiah 43:6
“I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south, Keep not back: bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the ends of the earth;”
I highlighted that in my Bible :)
I know it is specific to the impending shipwreck, but it speaks a larger truth. It gets me right in the heart.
It conveys that whatever the circumstances, whatever and to whomever, whether death or life, happy or sad, terrible or magnificent, the Sovereign King of Heaven and earth, sitting on His Throne is still in control of it all...
Amen! And if He says something will happen, it WILL happen. That brings great comfort to me.
Honest question: Has even ONE of the Olympic athletes condemned this stupid stunt?...Recognizing their years and years of hard work and dedication by offering up a debauched freakshow?... One?....I don't pay much attention to these distractions. I do recall the deafening silence of a great many "experts" and "professionals" concerning a different matter. That didn't work out too well. (Aaron Rodgers, Kyrie Irving and Novak Djokovic collectively shake their heads).
Novak Djokovic is prominently displaying his crucifix.
How is he getting by without 8 covaids shots? Must be in the hospital a lot.
Citizen Free Press had this link with the headline "There is absolutely zero chance that Djokovic didn't remember this clip when he beat the shit out of Rafa Nadal today in Paris." : https://x.com/CitizenFreePres/status/1817953738142670963
Great tennis player, but woefully tunnel visioned and research impaired. Myopic thought process on full display.
SO SHORT SIGHTED!!! "if you are vaxxxinated, you can play in the Australian Open"
SURE! but at what COST and for HOW LONG???!!!
All you have to do to be free is just "follow the rules". Sheesh...
I love Rafa (but I love and respect
“No-Vax” MORE!) but he mentions consequences here. Rafa is no doubt seeing and feeling consequences of his clot shots every match. He has retired, has he not?
🔥
I know right
I so love and respect “No-Vax” Djokovic!!!
“The Destroy the Olympics Committee” is off to good start. 1) Perfectly timed Atmospheric River 2) Satanic Opening Ceremony 3) Train System Down 4) Power Outage 5) Dysfunctional Olympic Village. What’s next?
God is working on it. Should be interesting to see how Biblically disastrous this literal Sh—show will be.
I appreciate God's gentle touch in correcting. He could've wiped Paris off the face of this earth.
Very true! As seen by Sodom and Gomorrah.
🎯
Don;t we know it!
Ohhh never ask what’s next😳
LOLL!!! It is 2024 after all.
Chinese Curse: "May you live in interesting times."
So.
Sadly, thre already was a sudden death ...1st day of the games -- a wrestler.
I thought that was a wrestling coach.... not one of the competing athletes.
🥺that's awful.
the athletes are too busy ordering their own BEDS and finding decent FOOD outside of the DEFUNCT OLYMPIC VILLAGE...
Don’t forget the air conditioning. Hot and humid. Ah, the pleasures of the French Accords. If one athlete wakes up after this debacle, then it was a success.
In Daily Mail, but it was yesterday..one athlete had his own mattress delivered, (cardboard beds), there is no air conditioning, they have fake meat options like 'no dog' (fake hot dog), 60% is plant based, athletes are so desperate for protein that all the eggs are gone because the catering didn't expect so many to be consumed, portions are small, etc.
Disgraceful performance by the Transnational captured French.
leave it to the uber WOKE Frogs to not get it right!
OMG
Are things that bad? I am out of the loop. Olympic Village is awful?
Yes! Tons of "plant-based" food options over meat protein. Gotta keep up the whole "climate change" narrative!
I'd rather eat a tennis racket.
I'm sure they're doing that too! (laughing emoji!)
Novax eats a plant based diet.
So, he is likely fine with it.
Interesting. I'd like to see more reporting on this.

The catering service didn’t know that athletes require protein to maintain muscle? What a bunch of losers, France is showing their true colors.
I'm sure the meatless options were suggested to the catering service by the French Olympic committee or whoever is running this farce.
They have been captured by the Transnationals. They are working very hard to do it here.
Surrendered to transnationalists like they surrendered to nazis. Pardon my French, mais oui, l'aperitif, l'entrée, et les hors d’oeuvres, formidable! Unless you're an Olympic athlete. “Many live as enemies of the cross of Christ. Their destiny is destruction, their god is their stomach, and their glory is in their shame. Their mind is set on earthly things. But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ” (Philippians 3:18-20).
omg that is horrifying. I actually feel very sorry for them. That must be hard to focus and compete if they can't get proper nutrition while they are there.
I am all for a mostly plant based diet for myself, but they are ATHLETES. When you go woke, you become a joke!
Make sure that *you* are getting enough protein. We all need it, athletes or not.
🙄 here we go. I really wish ppl would do a little research before parroting this stuff. Plants have protein! And it’s even more absorbable. Look at horses, straight up muscle, straight vegetarians. I don’t eat meat bc I think it’s gross. And I don’t preach about it either. But I sure get tired of all the vegan/vegetarian bashing! Have you ever met one w a protein deficiency? Bc I haven’t. Look up some vegan body builders, they exist and they’re huge. Just let us be 😒
Vegetable protein lacks key amino acids and other nutrients that come from meat (creatine, taurine, carnitine, vit D, DHA, Heme Iron). Supplements are a poor substitute. The body can make some of these itself, but as you age they decline and not eating meat will compound the shortfalls.
I have known SEVERAL seriously ill and very unhealthy looking vegans, yes. I appreciate that you dont preach. most of my vegan friends do and I spend most of my FB time snoozing them because its so tiresome.
For regular folks, vegan/vegetarian is doable but these are elite athletes. Their diet while training and competing are crucial to their performance. I copied and pasted this from 'swim dad.'
“half of which are vegetarian” ???? Seriously???
There might be a trend in vacationing tourist preferences, but sports performance at decent level requires 2-2.5 grams of protein per 1 kg of body weight. Most animal sources (meat, chicken, eggs) are only 25% of protein by weight. It’s quite hard to eat that much of animal based food to fulfill the requirements. From my understanding, famous statements about consuming 10,000 kcal a day come not from being super hungry, but from intentionally overeating to keep muscle synthesis and metabolism at high levels.
Plant based protein content by weight %% cannot be compared with meat/chicken/egg. On top of that it has far less essential aminos, and those are greatly skewed towards non essential amino acids. It’s a known fact that if a person switches to vegetarian diet, the biggest risk is drop in usable protein consumption.
There is a much less advertised cost component. For obvious reasons vegetarian food is much less expensive and easier to store. Promoting vegetarian foods decreases costs, while allowing to charge about the same price – nicer margins…
I quit eating meat in high school and didn’t eat any meat until many years later when I was rushed to the hospital- my hemoglobin was 4! I declined a transfusion and set out to fix my iron. First thing on the list was that I had to eat red meat. And take vitamin C. Also went off PPI’s as they were keeping my body from absorbing iron. A few other tweaks and a month later got my hemoglobin to 11. I still struggle to keep my iron up and have to eat meat a minimum of 3 days a week. Some people do fine on a vegetarian diet, I was not one of them. Moderation in all things.
My youngest daughter has been dating a high level athlete for the last few years who is plant based and also understands at some point as he ages his body will most likely require animal protein. I added beef gelatin several years ago to my Pescatarian diet and certainly don’t look weak or unhealthy.
Our largest and most powerful relatives,
the Mountain Gorillas eat only plants.
horses that eat hay and cows that eat only grass create their own protein in their stomachs. They have different digestion than humans. Cows have one stomach with four compartments that process their food & create their own protein, that gives their milk casein & whey which has all the amino acids. Horses also synthesize their own protein from the grass & hay they eat through their blind gut which is sort of like our appendix but huge. Race horses & working horses do get supplemental protein in their feed, but most horses make enough in their digestive system. (Thank you FFA!)
Then why do some "ATHLETES" need something other than a plant based diet? You said so yourself.
Gosh, how much of that stuff do you have to eat in order to get 75g of protein????
Yeah nah. Yer whining.
"Plant based" very often means synthetic, Gate's style.
I think you will find that many athletes already follow a plant based diet.
Frederick Richard (gymnast) was the athlete who had a mattress delivered.
I have fallen in love with that kid!
I did see something on the local or national news yesterday about a bunch of them getting their own hotel room. They were running through the halls screaming with joy.
Surprised there are any hotel rooms left in the city, perhaps all the sane people went home after the opening spectacles and power outages.

What? No bugs?!
I'm sure the bugs are hidden in there somewhere…we'll only find out after it's all over when they say, "See, they tasted pretty good, didn't they?".
LOLL!
That’s dreadful
And they have to worry they don’t end up in some muzzie no go zone, lest they be taken hostage, robbed, beaten, thrown off a roof, or raped.
I heard things were awful.
Glad we don't have smelly-vision.

This makes me very distressed.
Humans are historically omnivores
Olympic sex?
Withdrawing from competition?
Or endorsing Kakala (twin morons Steve Kerr & Stephen Curry) from Paris. Just shut up & play
Yeah that did it for me - not watching ANYTHING! It’s hard, I’ve loved the Olympics since I was a child, but whatever this is, I want no part of it.
I agree Gigi. I esp liked gymnastics but I haven’t watched a minute of any of it
I’m red pilling my ignorant sister over these games. ( she still goes to Disneyland multiple times a year) She just said, they had better not say how wonderful these games went when they’re over. I said Oh they will they only have one playbook!
Thank you - I have had the same pain and frustration over this. I have ALWAYS loved the Olympics. I just love most sports in general. And I got to see the Olympics live in Atlanta when I was 16. It was so special. So to watch the way this horrid committee has destroyed the games and used them for evil (2012 comes to mind), it's nothing short of devastating. I hate that these monsters are ruining this for us.
“They” are ruining EVERYTHING for us, by demonic design….
Yes, like the days of sportscaster Jim McKay. Classic!
I loved Jim McKay! In the days of “the thrill of victory; the agony of defeat.”
Yes! ⛷️🤸♂️🏃🏻♀️
Love her name! Been trying to come up with a fitting one & you’d nailed it.
Hope you’re honored that I want to steal it!
Can’t take credit; I saw it in another ‘stack comment section somewhere 😊
AGREED!!! Kakala!!! My spell check even wanted to fix it back to the real name, so IT KNOWS!!!! 😂
You know THEY will never experience any of the adverse effects of Democrat policies 🙄😡
The saving grace, as Jeff points out, is that Paris seems to be getting some divine retribution in the forms of bad weather, sabatoge & outages 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Yes!! 😁
I read that Brendan Brazier would go vegan for the 2024 Tour D'France. He didn't win a thing & I can't even find that he finished it. so much for being able to compete without meat......
Not Brendan Brazier. It's David Zabriskie. What do you have against vegans? https://www.triathlete.com/culture/news/david-zabriskie-going-vegan-for-the-tour-de-france/
Eric, most "experts and professionals" are silent especially when things they endorsed or support go south and fail miserably. See - the jab and scamdemic. 🤔😉

They took it down!? Unbelievable.
https://x.com/GrahamAllen_1/status/1817894755675549910
If you scroll down you should be able to see it still.
Brazilian Skateboarder Rayssa Leal used sign language to say “Jesus is the way, the truth, and the light”, after winning a bronze medal.
Why do the ''Olympic Games'' have the monopoly on athletic awards?
Why don't the athletes come up with something better for themselves?
Are the sponsors putting on the athletic equivalent of the Oscars, or the woke portions of the NFL?
The sponsors for the Olympics appear to be no better than the drug companies sponsoring all livestream services like Hulu (owned by Disney, I think I saw the other day) et al, and corporate media.
It's demeaning to the athletes to have to depend on the Olympics for recognition and awards.
The Olympics lost whatever beauty they had when professional athletes were included. The idea of the Olympics was amateur athletes compete. The most thrilling Olympics I’ve watched were the Miracle on Ice, the forgotten sports coming to win unexpectedly, and the work it took to get there. When they started making it about millionaire basketball stars being selected to add another trophy to their cases at home, I was completely turned off. I know that this turn supposedly allowed more eyeballs to all the Olympic events and more money in sponsorship dollars, but they are hardly watchable any longer. They are now a large middle finger to America and the American people. Brittany Griner playing for the U.S. women’s team? She spit on the American people and the flag. We allowed her to compete?
Maybe this is God giving us a slap upside the head, telling us, “when is it enough? Too much?” When do we stand up and say no more….NO MORE!
If you know the history of the Olympic Games, they had a few caveats: no city-state was allowed to compete if they were in war; the winners were awarded a laurel branch, and their home town would tear down a part of their wall (we have an Olympian, we don't need walls to defend us). My how things have changed
There have been controversies in all the modern day Olympics, but we believed that we rose above those conflicts and were better for it. Perhaps we just kept pushing what they really were farther down the road to this ending, a grandiose statement to crap and evil.
But then I watched the men’s gymnasts compete in the team finals and the joy of winning a bronze medal by these guys was equivalent to any gold celebration. That’s what it is about, perhaps.
🎯 Because we have generations of cowards who would rather protect their endorsements, fame, fortune and ability to play sports for a living rather than get real jobs that impact real life. And we expect THEM to stand up and risk it all? They are overpaid (on purpose) to keep the public distracted. We love entertainment and sports and so those are the places they pay astronomical monies to, and elevate people to be celebrities that people fawn all over and wanna be like. I never understood why someone makes MILLIONS to hit a ball, catch a ball, throw a ball etc. And why garbage men barely make enough to feed their families, teachers make squat, firemen and police make squat to risk their lives, assembly line workers make peanuts in comparison.
I haven’t seen ONE of them stand up. The only thing I’ve seen is C Spire company stand up, and I hope they get so busy from new business it makes their heads spin. The reward should go to the courageous!! Those athletes should take notice of the examples you gave. They aren’t suffering for standing up for what’s right….they are being applauded. But it isn’t an easy path. Just asked the men who died to give us our very freedom. They sacrificed it all. Ask the men in the Bible who were murdered for standing up. I bet they don’t regret ever doing what they did even though they were murdered for it.
I have CSpire as my cellphone provider. So glad they yanked their ads! Could not be more proud of a MS based company standing up for what’s right!
Um, murdered doesn't really do it justice. Thomas, for one example (yes, doubting Thomas) was FLAYED in India for his proselytizing. But of course, Jesus is a myth, didn't really die and the apostles went out in tortuous ways to support the gaslighting of him being the son of God. Right liberal atheists and other non-Christians? Isn't that your story? Nice guy; myth; not God incarnate? Uh-huh.
I suggest you learn the Gospel - the incarnation, life, death and resurrection of Jesus - the Gospel. The Good News. The freedom from worry, guilt and emotional pain. The source of all hope in the universe.
Jesus is the only way off this planet into eternal bliss. The only way. It's a one-way street. There's two streets, of course. The narrow path to heaven and the highway to hell. Which path are you on?
Nice.💯
Great post! I love that about C Spire!
END TIMESsteria: Best Satanic Olympics Memes (GrOoOomers!)
Guess who is banned (& not banned), wOoOoke, 6o6o6, pedo-olympics, how it started (& how its going), even Iran was outraged (as Muslims consider Jesus a prophet of God) & more satanic Olympics memes!
https://covidsteria.substack.com/p/best-satanic-olympics-memes-groooomers
I did see a guy on Twitter/X whom I think was a boxer talking about how disgusted he was. I'm not a sports person so I wasn't familiar with him and can't remember his name.
Good question. Weird just keeps getting weirder and even the spelling of weird is weird.
I before E except after... oh, wait. Hmmmm, English. Weird.
Apparently the athletes also were told they couldn’t “praise Jesus” but I did see a story where one did so in sign language “BREAKING: Rayssa Leal, a Catholic skater won a Bronze Medal at the Paris World Olympics and she allegedly was told she wasn't allowed to praise Jesus Christ. Leal responded by saying 'Jesus is the way, the truth and the life' in sign
language to protest.
I wonder how many even know. The ones who were competing over the weekend were focused on their competitions I'm sure.
Yes that was my thought too, they may not have really been paying attention.
I searched. Can’t find any.
😢
The Olympics has been satanic for a long time but nobody cared.
2012 Olympics Predictive Sh*! show
https://www.bitchute.com/video/sQg9dlKsaiNC
Not long ago, it occured to me that ALL ceremonies and award shows are for them to be worshipped and idolized. They put on a "show" to "show" us. Most or all of the participants are likely "granted" entry to participate like in any field: sport, movie, music, medical etc. Those who don't, never reach the top.
I’ve seen and read about some of the olympians praying regarding this.
I have to laugh - Biden’s list is a prime example of what would have kept someone like him from a lifetime of grifting.
More of the Alinsky tactic: accuse them of what you are doing...
Nice!
Later Jay
Right??
And it’s not like HE is even making these suggestions anyway, it’s got to be his staff or Jill or someone else.
Not Jill. She’s hiding under a rock with probable major suicide watch depression after her so carefully orchestrated assassination attempt failed. Oh, how the mighty have fallen🥳
Having too much fun with the debauchery in Paris no doubt 😑
Am I the only one starting to get very scared that Trump may lose?
While Biden was running, even foreign leaders were talking to Trump as if he would most definitely be the next President, but I am getting really scared right now.
I don’t think we can afford to rest on our laurels, we need to do everything we can to win and to make sure they can’t cheat (or at least not enough to allow them to pretend to win).
Keep the faith Angela, keep praying. We know that they’ll try everything to defeat him, but I’m trusting that God spared his life for a reason. God, and God alone saved him in that assassination attempt, so I KNOW that He is working in this.
Trump recently said in an interview that Christians don't get out to vote in big numbers, and that he does not know why? I never knew this.
The Evangelical vote helped him win in 2016, but I don't see much being said now. I am not Evangelical, so maybe brothers and sisters in Christ who are here can clarify what is going on.
Between Hillary and Kamala I would think Kamala is worse
All 3 of them H, K , & P are 💩EXECRABLE‼️
in short all three (H, P, K) are bad news to be polite
Don’t loose heart. They told us Killary was ahead by 90% I’ve never seen so much evidence that God is moving in my lifetime. I get terrified at times too, but keep an eye on the good stuff or take a complete break from it all. Hang in there 🙏🏻
even Jimmy Carter was supposed to have a second term, yet he conceded before Hawaii finished voting. After that, the main stream propaganda, euphemistically known as news, decided not to call races until all voting ended.
Because of what happened with polls and Hillary (she was projected to smash Trump), I don't really take them all that seriously. They are small samples of people, and the people who do the polls can easily skew them one way or the other: Poll 2,000 people but use the 1200 or fewer that produce the result you want. In other words, cherry picking.
Well, if they try talking to Cackles….
Here’s what we have to do:
If my people. Stand in the gap
“If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.”
II Chronicles 7:14 NKJV
From gotquestions.org
In Ezekiel 22:30 the Lord says, “I looked for someone among them who would build up the wall and stand before me in the gap on behalf of the land so I would not have to destroy it, but I found no one.” The word picture painted in this verse is that of a wall with a hole or a gap in it. A wall was the best means of protection in ancient times. A breach in the wall would let the enemy through. If there was a breach in the wall, defenders would have to swarm to that location and hold the breach. The gap would need to be repaired as soon as possible. If a breach was left unattended or unrepaired, the city would fall.
How can we stand in the gap today?
And no media attention? Seriously, has she been seen anywhere since July 13?
She was at the opening ceremony in Paris. Biden was seen heading to Camp David with his sister and son, Hunter.
Of course she was 🤦🏼♀️
Right?!? 😉🙄
She was summoned to Paris...
Must be his sharp as a tack son, Hunter!
The smartest man he knows! 🙄
I just said Kamala is the new “sharp as a tack” 😂
I prefer the description of "dumb as a rock."
Runs in the (crime) family, eh - "sharp as a tack" ??
I apologize for repeating this public service message but it needs to be. The WH/gov is being run by no other than Antony Blinkin’s WestExecLLC who is very connected to Ukraine. He also plays guitar in a band - especially in other countries.
All I was thinking when I read it was ‘holy cow, what will the next few months be like with a dementia-ridden, lame duck President?’ It could go a lot of ways, none of them good. This packing the court thing is the first desperate salvo.
Distractions Valerie
Such as escalating tensions with Russia with real movement/placement of missiles. More ice cream please.
HAHA! Of course. Who would know better?!
Democrats have nothing positive to run on so they have make up issues like Trump being a threat to democracy and the Supreme Court needs to be packed with democrats- may work for their brain dead base but not for anyone capable of thinking for themselves
He is the first person who should feel the pain of what he wants to do! Is he that stupid??? Don't answer!
Deb, you were smart to end your post the way you did!
Exactly. Apply those rules in Congress.
ditto
Yep. Plus no trading in stocks they have control over or no trading period.
Exactly.
"When Garnett said Joe’s proposals were “complicated by the Constitution’s text,” he meant prohibited by the Constitution. Lawyers, am I right?"
Yes.
"He pulled out. I have been informed that technique does not work, but I’m already digressing."
I have two wonderful sons to prove it.
Oh my word you made me laugh out loud this morning!! 🤣🤣🤣😁😁😁
Same! Clever
Yep, there are many of us who are here because pulling out was the only option at the time! LMAO
Knowing my parents I'm confident that I'm also the product of one getting past the goalie.
At least they didn’t tell you that you were unwanted, my mom told me I was a diaphragm baby. 🤣 she’s a piece of work, but that’s for another day!
But by the grace of God you are here, and happy to be here. Congratulations!
BTW, I was adopted, need I say more . . .
I always hope that adopted kids are loved more than biological kids.
I know my parents were very grateful to have been able to adopt me and my sister (different age and birth parents), they donated to the adoption agency for decades afterwards, in spite of I am sure having to pay the costs of our adoptions.
There’s a couple in our church who just adopted a baby boy after a long period of infertility. They certainly are loving parents.
With reliable birth control and with people getting married later, when women are less fertile, I think that your unfortunate experience with your mother being cruel enough to say what she said is much less common these days, and I would be hard pressed to say one or the other.
I don’t know for sure, but I don’t think there are a lot of infants available anymore. Maybe just older children? Products of drug culture perhaps?
I’m sorry you’re taking the brunt of something. That’s not fair.
Not a lot of infants available for adoption thanks to Ok Planned Un Parenthood & Plan B. It is really unfortunate, as has been noted most unplanned and initially unwanted babies actually come to be wanted, desired and cherished from data from decades past interviewing parents afterwards. It is kinda like the situation with gender confusion/dysphoria, whatever, which 90+% out grow.
I am not sure what you mean by me taking the brunt of something. My father was a sales executive for a railroad equipment manufacturer, mom stayed home until I was a senior in high school. We never wanted for anything, belonged to country clubs where ever we lived, always had a Buick or slightly used Cadillac or Mercedes; they could afford to be generous to the adoption agency. The only thing I was the brunt of was their figuring out how to be parents as a first born.
Correct me if I am missing something.
I read this wrong…. In spite of I am sure having to pay the costs of our adoptions.
Sorry, I took that differently than you meant. Emotional costs is where my mind went. 🙄
Karen, no need to be sorry. I never felt any burden of being adopted. My parents celebrated my (and my sister’s) adoption day as well as my birthday from the beginning (I was adopted 2 days after my first birthday) with cake and a present, just the same as my birthday, so I always knew that I was adopted, that they chose me particularly, and that my birth parents couldn’t take care of me (not that they didn’t want me). As I grew older, adoption day faded, as the recurring celebration had had its impact.
I tell prospective adoptive parents how my parents handled that as a suggestion to them.
Thanks for your interest.
Sorry to read that, Karen. I was loved, just not necessarily pre-conceived.
Same here! My parents were ‘finished having children’ after my brother was born. But God had other plans. He saved their best for last. 😁😁 Moi!
Love that euphemism! 😆🤣
"Tryouts for The Human Race" by techno dance band Sparks, circa 1978. Check it out.
LOL
😂😂
If it weren’t for unplanned children, the world would be sparsely populated. 😂
Let’s hear it for Unplanned Parenthood! 😬
Indeed.
Of three sons who went to fight in WWII, my dad was only the only who came home.
He was insistent on having a boy, my mom agreed.
5 girls later, my baby brother was born. With out that agreement, I never would have born! Whew, Thanks.
🥇🤣🤣
Hahaha
Lol 😂 still laughing at “pulled out”
ha ha! Rhythm baby here...
Dad couldn't dance, ergo sum.
You didn’t learn after the first time😂
It's never a zero sum game.
Everytime I hear about these hearings about the assassination attempt of Trump, I just wish they could find out who decided that the AGR buildings would not be under the control of the SS and who decided that the SS should not convene with the Butler PD for the 9am meeting that morning and finally how many times did these types of decisions (like not meeting with local PD) happen before July 13… From what I’m hearing Rowe, is a long time bondo type guy, akin to Bill Barr, who is brought in to bury evidence and obfuscate…
And who made the decision to let Trump go on stage while they had eyes on the perp. 😖
That's such a violation of their protocol. Amazing.
Yeah, they can try to pass the buck all they want. But ULTIMATE responsibility falls on the Secret Service. It's where the buck stops !
I was under the impression that the ultimate stop was the White House. At least that is what Harry S Truman said
I stand corrected.
But maybe it was by orders from somewhere
Much like Lois Lerhner and the IRS scandal from Obama’s reign, the assassination was not a case of ineptness this one time, it was planned from the inside, and by the Grace of God, a half inch was the difference. They will now try to pass it off as someone dropped the baton, exit Cheatle, stage left and send in someone else “who knows nothing!”. Keep after them.
Jill/Cheatle
They are all 'forgetting' the word Intentional
You spelled "set up" wrong
How was he kept on stage for two minutes after people were yelling "There's a man on the roof!"? There's video with a police officer who clearly understood what they were saying. The new "Stewart video" makes things all the more clear that there were at least 5 police looking around the wrong side of the building after people were clearly pointing at the guy.

As always, check out Chris Martenson's work on PeakProsperity.com, youtube or rumble.
I'll be putting on my tinfoil hat and posting a substack within the next few hours, concentrating on all the very weird stuff that happened in the center window of building 6 of AGR. It's mostly screenshots from the explosive "Stewart film", with a little commentary.
Be sure and watch videos by John Cullen and Dave on twitter. More new info daily.
And the committee to supposedly investigate the assassination attempt is a joke 😡 Thanks Speaker Johnson 🙄 (what do they have on you btw??)
Since Johnson ignored Cory Mills and Eli Crane, Mills has announced he will conduct a "parallel independent investigation." https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/07/former-sniper-rep-cory-mills-conduct-parallel-independent/
Bravo to Mills. Hope HE has protection. He could easily have some dire accident.
Prayers of safety for both Mills and Crane.
Good for him!!
Seems (they) have something on everyone.
And if they don't have something, they will make something up. Remember Schumer's words, "The intelligence agencies have 7 ways to Sunday to get you." Or something to that effect.
Robin, 😂 I just made the same comment. Hopefully they’ll rely on AI for a lot of their dirty work so the supposed dog ends up looking like a chocolate chip cookie. 😂
Doesn't Wray's attitude, posture, and non-verbal communication speak that when he's questioned? Like..."Here's my Bullshit answer blah blah blah..." But the rest of him is answering; (Your car will explode in flames, your mother will be gang-raped and beaten to death, your children will die of turbo stomach cancer, your dog will be eaten by a swarm of sand fleas, your home internet service will be intermittent and the billing screwed up...)
BFM, if they don’t have something they make it up.
Everything now: Is it true or a smear campaign?? 🤦🏼♀️
🎯
and if not they make something up
The life of his family members? Remember, we’re dealing with a crime syndicate. Remember the Georgia officials daughter that had a mysterious car accident in 2020?
Wait, I looked it up. It was Kemp’s daughter’s boyfriend.
I don’t believe in coincidences. It was during the whole Georgia election disagreement.
Yep he was going to look into election integrity until after that then he dropped that. I mean honestly I guess I probably would too. They’re just showing you what they can do to you if you don’t comply.
Yes Susan and it's very effective...I mean what would anyone do in that situation?
We are a third world banana Republic seeking a comeback.
DenverDad
Yes, Kemp was about to cave in and do an audit of the votes, then Harrison Deal (the boyfriend) was blown up in his car and Kemp backed off. And sadly, the GBI agent who was assigned to investigate the death, had a fatal "heart attack" shortly after beginning his investigation.
I remember that succintly.
Kemp became a puppy immediately.
There was video posted a year or so ago of a guy taking video of Kemp saying electronic voting machines are not reliable. Kemp's wife escorted him away once she saw the man was taking video. His daughter turned to the man and said "Don't do it...it's not worth it." I knew what she meant.
Kemp may have gotten off easy because he was high profile. Look up Dr. Chris Edwards. They are monsters.
There will be killing, the thing is we need to start doing is what needs doing in bigger numbers. They will not stop until they too, fear for their lives.
Yes that too 😕
RL, I’ve noticed lately that Johnson has aged terribly in the last few months. He seems like a weak old man now instead of the fighter he used to be. I can’t imagine how stressful their lives must be.
Yes I am sure 😕 No wonder so many decent people avoid it 😕
Blackmail is BAD to live with.
Each time I see SS I think of WWII. What’s in a name?
Yes, me too.
Certainly SOMEONE was under the impression that eyes (or security) would be on that building, that roof, the area just outside the fence. IF THE FAKE Narrative IS correct, then any gang of MS-13, trained border-crossing Russian hit squad, or even a pair of Charlottesville NAZIs should be far more difficult to stop than an impetuous unknown loner who had no friends, no communication to ANYONE, who resolutely decided to be the ONE Guy to pay the ultimate price in order to save Democracy ahead of the Republican Convention and before a Rep. VP was selected. Half-second earlier shot would've changed everything. I'm actually surprised Crooks didn't bother to put on some mall cop or trash collector uniform to blend in a bit, maybe he needed an accomplice after all. How exactly DID FBI determine there was no other threat so quickly? Truly Fine and Amazingly Quick Investigative Work followed such a Lapse and Astounding Failure of Poorly performing Professionals (local cops)! Shouldn't THIS EVENT be fully exploited to further fund militarizing the local police!!? C'mon Man!
If it’s not on purpose then tremendous incompetence! Also, who told news crews to be there? 🤔🤔
CNN hadn’t been to a rally for many years, now suddenly shows up… CNN is mouthpiece for State Department
Not to mention the guy with the high-speed camera for action shots! Action shots at a rally? Who would be expecting a need for that??
the mob of camera-persons was on Trump almost before the security detail leapt over him
And I think the patsy was killed by a second shooter because Trump fell. The second shooter thought the job was done and took Crooks out, but a bit too soon. That's what I'm seeing.
was second shooter also on that roof or in the building behind (why Crooks body and gun were in positions they were)? On water tower? Sniper team #3 from far side (to Trump's left) did Not actually take Crooks out? Why did they cover roof outside perimeter to his left but not the even closer roof on his right? More questions than answers but that's why these professional experts aren't ever trusted and never will be. Why didn't Lincoln have Pinkertons at the dammed theater that night?
agree, they were supposed to film ink mist. Set up.
I told my wife we will find the TRUTH behind JFK's assassination before we find out about what happened in Butler
: (
I think you are 100% correct
The AI bit is interesting - my husband keeps telling me that AI isn’t really AI (not artificial INTELLIGENCE) - it’s just more sophisticated computer programming by humans. This sort of supports his argument. Glad the computers still need us I guess 😅
LOL... yeah, I've been telling my sons (one of whom is a programmer) for decades that "Artificial Intelligence" is an oxy-moron. It's a contradiction in terms. If you applied the term to a person, it would be akin to saying he has no intelligence. True AI is a programmer's wet dream.
I have always preferred my own HI. … human intelligence 🥰
It's an interesting study. You can get some nifty responses for programming and ideas from AI, but at other times it's _painfully_ obvious that it's just spitting out word salad. I was reading some placeholder copy for a website recently and it was ... bad. The sort of bad that would have any person who generated that be fired almost on the spot. But I've also used it to get some idea of "how would I start this" for programming and it's ... helpful ... but still not perfect.
Just like anything else - you get what you feed into it. With the people in charge trying to filter the information going in or massage the prompts, you get the inevitable nonsense instead of something true/helpful.
Huh sounds like Kamala and Joe 😆
So spitting out word salad ...does that make Kamala equal to artificial intelligence.
I hesitate to use “intelligence” to describe Kamala, artificial or no.
My nephew lives in Cali now. He worked with a guy who went to college with Kamala. Said she was “dumber than a box of rocks”. This from a Cali liberal.
I didn’t even have to go to college with her to know that 😆😛
What's that quote...."Stupid is as stupid does."
Yep, Kakala (borrowed from another commenter) and intelligence can’t be used in the same sentence.
😂👍
Oooohhh.....thas gooood !
On so many levels, thas GOOOOD !!
At least AI gets things right sometimes….
Just like a broken clock. It's right 2 times a day.
don't insult AI by comparing it to Kakala
Side note: I think the AI results in the example prove that, when it comes to dogs, Golden Retrievers are in fact the superior breed that will one day rule the world. In which case we'll all get along quite well and the world will be a happier place. At least that's what I've experienced in the last 8 years since our pup picked us to be its forever home.
I agree, Golden Retriever’s are the best! We’ve raised two and now have a 3rd who is 11 months old. Always full of joy and just a little goofy. I read an apt description of them in comparison to Labs, if both were human: Labs would be the ones you’d hire as your accountant, reliable, dependable, etc, while Goldens are the life of the party who ends up with a lampshade on his head at the end.
That's hilarious! Our little girl is 8 now and just a love sponge... soaking it in and oozing it out, particularly in her role as a therapy dog at local children's hospital. Have you seen the meme that says, "Golden Retrievers...why do they even make other dogs?" :o) Of course I'm partial but truth is, I love all dogs... they are truly a gift from God, loving us more than we deserve.
I too love all dogs, but have a special place in my heart for Goldens. That’s awesome your dog is a therapy dog for hospitalized children! Kudos to you and your sweet girl for cheering up sick, frightened children! All dogs do love us unconditionally. It reminds me of something I read once: to find out if your dog or your spouse loves you more, lock both of them in a closet for awhile and see who is happy to see you when you open the door😂
Yep, it knocked out a great breed, the corgi (and Frenchi?) Radar Ear discrimination? 🤣
Yep, that's what I've been trying to tell people about AI. The product can't be smarter than the creator. Man is fallible ergo AI will be fallible.
AI teaching AI is like the children of incestual relationships having children together 😂
Yes! Man is fallible, anything man creates will be imbued with the same quality.
“replacement Secret Service Director, who must meet minimum diversity requirements and identify as a gay orangutan.”
Not much about the mess this country seems to be in makes me smile, but this did!
Do not let this assassination attempt fall by the wayside! Keep after them. I post almost nothing on social media that isn’t just keeping up with friends. I was astonished to see a young mother, my daughter’s high school friend post a serious write up about the country we are becoming when we go on social media and wish the attempted assassination had proven successful. She went on to say, this is not right under any circumstances and not the country she wants to raise her two young daughters in. She wants the country she believes she grew up in. This young mother is very non political and is always has kind words for everyone. The tide is turning.
That is good to hear. Thank you for sharing. Just wondering how much push back she received. Years ago, when I tried to point out the absolute lies being told about Trump being a racist even sending her information to back up what I said, she wouldn't even look at it. She just kept repeating the lies. The left truly displays all the hallmarks of a cult.
It's interesting. On my podcast, all of a sudden, I have a series of guests in that same space, talking about how to talk to people, how to engage. Most are conservative (the podcast is apolitical). However I had one guest advocating "getting along" and as soon as the recording was over, she went on a rant about how can anyone not believe in climate change. I guess leopards don't change their spots.
Yes it called maturity and it comes at a price after we've judged all the worldly disenchanted and embattled elders and realized that beauty comes after all your fur is rubbed off, your eyes are cloudy, and your teeth have fallen out from your grit and you must stand apart from those who think the world would be saved if we were all just nice enough. This is the ignorance of the true spiritual nature of man.
Overhaul the SCOTUS? That’s weird.
JD Vance? Not so weird.
But…if the Dems want to go with that, great. Here’s a thought: I’m taking a picture of Vance in a black T-shirt with one word on it: WEIRD. Then I’m taking that picture and putting it on my OWN T-shirt which says, “I’m with him.” So.
Ha! I have been called weird my whole life. In fact, years ago I formed a group of fellow weirdos with the acronym W.E.I.R.D (Wisdom, Eccentricity, Innovation, Resourcefulness, Divine guidance). Being called a weirdo was meant to denigrate me but only made me stronger. The same with being called a Conspiracy Theorist (Critical Thinker). Bring it on!! 😁
Weirdos.... people who think outside the box ;)
Critical thinking
I agree with you, Merry. I too am weird. Having bizarre medical conditions that mainstream media didn’t know how to deal with, heavy metal poisoning, and mold poisoning. Thank God for out of the box thinking. For God truly loves his weirdos!
That’s great Merry! I love your acronym.
Thank you MM for the great use of the acronyms! I'll have to remember them
And it’s so “weird” how every single one of the leftist media is parroting that word 🙄
Compilation of tweets showing who the weird ones really are 😆
https://twitchy.com/fuzzychimp/2024/07/29/pot-meet-kettle-people-hilariously-mock-the-left-for-saying-jd-vance-is-weird-n2398981?utm_source=twdailypm&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=nl&bcid=ff122adc120777892b0ed7cb36c780a2414bf5035e9b18c4873055cc97b2027b&lctg=23670187#google_vignette

was just watching this post and then some of the embedded tweets. Kakala like to say "[she] can imagine what can be unburdened by what has been", always using her "right" hand for the "can be" and her LEFT hand for "what has been". I guess subconsciously she realizes what is right and what is wrong
😆
Thanks now I’ll have that phrase in my head the rest of the day…..🤦♀️
Oops sorry 😬
😂
It's like they all have the same "word of the week" calendar. It happens all the time.
Ok, it's obvious that I have to share my thoughts on humanity this am. Everyone is weird. There's just good and bad weird. Good weird is thoughtful, reflective, kind, inventive, loving (add your own descriptors.) you want to be good weird, unique, creative. Bad weird...well you can figure that out. Mean, destructive, domineering, controlling, (add your own descriptors). To the good weird in all of us. 😉
Nope. I grew up when weird was the kid who picked his nose in public, then ate the boogers. Or the kid who ate the school paste, or the one who ate peanut butter sandwiches for lunch, every single day. Weird was something you grew out of, most likely. Creepy was creepy, not a sub heading of weird.
I think they jumped the shark with using “weird” to define JD Vance. They will miss and the shark will eat them.
Campaign on the issues. That’s it.
It sounds kind of like the rich mean girl picking on the poor kid who can’t afford designer clothes and likes to go hunting on weekends 😑
While I do agree there was the kind of weird you described, there were also kids who got called weird because they were just different from most of the others—they had a very specialized interest or were maybe from a different background so they called those kids weird because they didn’t understand them.
And yes, they perhaps were different, but they grew up and we grew up and we realized different strokes for different folks. Weird, seems to me a word kids use to describe another human being, not adults. We use stronger or lesser words, but seldom do I hear someone described as weird by an adult. It’s just “weird” phrasing by an adult and picked up so quickly by the mockingbird press.
Yes that does seem to be case for the most part. Except maybe teasingly “you’re so weird” but to a good friend who knows you don’t mean that in an insulting way.
I haven't been following it, but I kind of like weird, my definition that is.
Yes I agree with your take. Good weird is quirky and maybe eccentric and bad weird is creepy and deranged.
👍
That’s their pattern …. always
Yup, they do this all the time.
Also weird how Mummy Magoo announced his agenda to the city of Austin, who uses the word weird to describe themselves.
So ironic!
LOTS out there in Weirdville....

Naomi Wolfe warned that the "weird" thing is bait to get conservatives posting mocking pictures of LGBTQ madness to layer paint us as biggots. 🤷♂️
🤦♀️
Basically, they think if you aren't like them and don't think like them, you must be weird.
Checks, balances, and separations of power are a threat to Our Democracy!
And remember...substitute Democrat Party for Democracy and it all makes total sense.
personally I would not have a problem with the Supreme Court overhaul proposals provided:
1. They also applied to Congress. That way Biden, Pelosi and Schumer who have been there since forever (to name only three) would have to go
2. gift disclosures would apply to all (Congress, Supremes, AND Executive and their families)
3. Presidential immunity changes to start from Biden's term, that is to grandfathered
As for conflict of interest rules, well they cherry-picked the judges and persecutors to go after Trump, all who had conflicts how that was OK?

"No one is above the law...but that only starts after I am out of the picture."
Typical French Leftists, they want the world to stop eating meat and driving cars because of climate change, but can't keep one river in their capital from being a toilet. Why is it that the Climate Change crowd never talks about "pollution" which seems to more of a real concern to the planet than an Al Gore hockey stick graph. BTW, I took a college level class on Greek Mythology back in the day. I never saw a Greek statute or painted pottery depicting a 300 lbs obese lesbian nor a Blue Tranny Dionysus. Another thing you will never hear in the media is that apparently devout Muslims are not Pride Enthusiasts. I read an article yesterday where the highest Iman on Egypt explained that Jesus is considered to be a prophet in Islam and they basically consider the Paris spectacle to be utter depravity and blasphemous. According to CNN, it's only the dumb Christians who "don't understand the art."
Well said!!
Excellent
Does anyone else find it extremely ironic that Biden wants to impose term limits on the justices when he’s been a career politician? And has continued to impose himself on the American people years after his mind had been compromised?!
Obama's idea.
Here’s how the Parisians should confront their continuing and future ‘bad luck’ —-
“and they *said to the mountains and to the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the presence of Him who sits on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb…”

I’m a bit disappointed…I thought the AI dog story was going to be about chocolate chip cookies…how I LOVE chocolate chip cookies 🍪 🍪.
Yum 🤤
Me too! I was sure those were chocolate chip cookies! 😂.
I thought raisins....

Jeff, you missed the important part of that picture of Paris during the blackout, unconfirmed or not, which was that magnificent structure off in the distance. “The only thing left illuminated was the Basilica of the Sacre-Coeur, [Sacred Heart] built in the 19th century in reparation for the crimes of the Revolution. The light shines in the darkness, and even in Paris, the darkness did not overcome it.” —Rod Dreher
Loved that contrast, said it all!!
