It’s sometimes easy to think we’re not making much of a difference. We wake up, get the family going, we go to work, maybe help a friend, just our normal routine. The truth is most of life is ordinary. We should never think though, our everyday actions don’t make a difference. Everything we do matters, not just the big things, but the small everyday acts we do. A smile, a kind word, a phone call to a friend that’s struggling, these are the things that have the greatest impact on others around us. In Mathew 10:42 Jesus said “whoever gives even a cup of cold water to one of my disciples, will be rewarded”. This meaning even a small act of kindness done will be noticed and rewarded.
When you go the extra mile at work, even something that goes unnoticed, your hard work, faithfulness, dedication, and the sacrifice you make, is noticed by God. Nothing we do goes unnoticed by him. These moments may seem ordinary but these are the things that have the biggest impact on the people we touch.
I often think of after my mother had passed. I didn’t miss the big things she did, it was all the small things. Every morning we would sit, have coffee and just talk. I missed that the most. I missed her encouraging words helping me to move forward, her positive message telling me I could succeed. I never realized that those small ordinary moments were the things that would one day mean the most to me. We should always be aware that it’s these small things we do everyday that have the greatest impact on the people around us. My mother passed away 33 years ago, more than 1/2 my life, and I still grieve the loss. This shows the impact her kindness had on my life and that grief has no timeline.
We all have many more ordinary days than miraculous ones, but the ordinary days do have purpose, they create the space for God to work and make those miraculous days in our life and those around us.
In the not too distant past I would wake and think maybe today things will start to change. We’ve all been through so much over these past 6 years. One positive thing we can do for those that have helped us is let them know, acknowledge it. thank them. People may never know the impact they had on you if you don’t acknowledge it. Let them know the positive impact they made on you.
I have plowed snow for 40 years. Over those years I have seen the stress caused by bad weather, people afraid they will be left. When I tell them that I will always be there to help them, and that before you know it the weather will warm. The perennials planted around their house will begin to pop and flower again, I feel their stress melting away.
As greedy and as selfish as man can be the earth pays him no attention. In the spring the earth will again tilt back on her axis and begin to warm. Like the earth life has seasons. There are seasons of growth, there are seasons of harvest. The winter is considered a season to connect with our inner self, and with our guardian angels, a time to awaken our spiritual consciousness.
Give the people around you a call. Let them know you will be there for them if they need you. Don’t let people think they are alone. Share the gifts that God has given to you. It’s those small things we do that can have the greatest impact on those around us. J.Goodrich
THANK YOU! I found your post so encouraging! I am in winter (both seasonally and in life!) (I am caring for my elderly mother in my home who came with SO MUCH baggage; anger, and hateful conversations!
The past 4 years have been hard emotionally and spiritually - and I have struggled with resentment! But then.... A "spring" of sorts is appearing - the more she is dependent for help and the more my family and I have been dependable to provide help - her attitude has softened and she is letting go of the baggage she has carried for so long (my parents divorced after 35 years marriage, and then Dad remarried 10 years later - she never forgave him and didn't want us to either!)
BUT Thank God - He can do healing deep down inside - in her - in me - in every place healing is needed. And He IS bringing forth healing!
I stand firm on the Word of God - He is my Rock and my Fortress!
Through the "sunny" days and the storms of life - He truly has NEVER left or forsaken me!
Thank you for this. I have a sister who has untold trauma and bitterness in her life, and this gives me hope that I will have a relationship with her again. It's really all about Jesus. He saves and delivers.
Seventy-five years in this life has taught me that it’s all temporary. We should never assume that the status of today is how it will always be. Nor should we think that God has forsaken us and our trials when we can’t see any way forward. We can’t change others, but we can choose to be at peace in our inner most parts.
Willing Spirit—Heartily agree. Everything is temporary. I also learned that life is made up of ‘small, ordinary moments’—hat tip to J. Goodrich—with occasional large events sprinkled in. Rarely do I get a life-changing opportunity but I do often get brief chances to make my slice of this world a better place.
It is indeed good to be at peace with God and the world. I have been in recovery mode over the past almost 4 weeks. Takes awhile after caregiving but I would do it all over again! To think he is at rest with no more sorrow, pain or dementia confusion! I’m glad there is a Heaven for me and everyone who will accept it. John 3:16. It was bitter cold last Saturday but inside the church was warmth and the story of a sweet Southern Christian Gentleman! My beloved sweetheart!
Then on Sunday morning the miracle we all look forward to happened! I now have a new beautiful great nephew!! “To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the Heaven: A time to be born and a time to die;…” Ecclesiastes 3:1-2a KJV.
VelvetStitching, my dad just passed in November at 93. He was my favorite as I was his and mother hated that and was a horrible witch to me my whole life, but just this last month she has finally softened and I can help her put their affairs in order. No easy task since she lives five hours away, and the death has pushed her into anxiety mode and she now has what I call intermittent dementia.
She can’t drive and is living on her own, but this week, (she doesn’t know it) I am putting a deposit down on an independent living place here. She’ll be on a wait list, so I’ll have quite a few months to convince her to move here. My brother and I sat them down over two years ago to try to convince them to move here, that went over like a lead balloon. You see, she’ll be further away from her beloved son and grandsons.
Anyway, I’m glad to hear that your mom has finally softened, thank you for sharing.
I’m almost 70, even though we have longevity in my family, I never imagined that I would be under such stress about aging parents as I am now. Dad hid his illnesses for a couple of years before he passed, so it’s been pretty easy I must admit, well until last August.
My brother can’t help because his wife has Lewy Body dementia, probably jab induced but that’s a topic for another day.
Prayers, Karen. Been down that road. Mom is clear minded but mobility/fall risk issues and a bad case of TDS. Two sisters at opposite ends of the country teamed up with me to 'convince' (she really had no choice as she could no longer care for herself independently) her to move closer to me in an assisted living place. Over the past 3 years she has become easier to get along with, and can't remember the last time we've had a political battle or made little snide passive aggressive digs at me.
In my case, I was more or less living with her - sleeping on an air mattress in her spare bedroom-she had the money for home care aides to come in, but they were unreliable and was not going to pay someone to stay there while she slept. (had to get up thru the night to pee and needed help). Kept saying she just 'needed more time' to recover from a leg injury. Four months in of being basically unable to work, (self-employed but her care dominated my schedule to where I had to turn projects down), I laid down the law. Set up a zoom call with my sisters and we told her I was not going to keep this up. Oh she was not happy, tried every guilt trip under the sun but she did recognize she could not remain 'independent' - which she had not really been for the last couple of years. Even before her injury I was there 3-4 days a week for something and a neighbor came and brought her mail and newspaper every day. Got her moved and she sulked in her apartment for a couple of months, had her meals delivered and refused to participate in any activities. But she eventually came around and it's been a godsend. Been there almost 3 years and she has made new friends, is in better health, and physical therapy has gotten her to where she can do things like get to the bathroom and dress herself without help. Complains less, and relatives/sisters comment how she is practically a different person. Hasn't picked a political fight with me in a couple of years and even convinced her to vote for some conservatives. But did vote for Harris...
Please take advantage of any respite or supports your state offers. Our state pays family members now for eldercare at home. See if yours does. God bless you.
I believe that when people are bitter like this, they only need someone to listen to them. They want to say aloud how they were wronged and have another person hear it. They want to share their hurt. When their complaints are openly aired the bitterness weakens and can recede. So let her talk and listen to help her heal.
My experience is they (the parents, in my case my Mom, Dad died when I was 30) soften with time as they age. I had a quite adversarial relationship with my mom. As she got older and her memory started to be affected, she softened from the narcissist, Queen Bee that she could be, and I could tolerate being around her. She came to appreciate all I was doing for her, and that I was the only one of her three children who really cared about her well being and looked after her.
It’s such a lesson in psychology. Too bad we didn’t learn this is psych 101, we could have seen the light at the end of the tunnel. Stored it away in our brains. Lol!
It’s not the big things we miss, it’s the little things! So true. My mother passed away 13 years ago in January. It will be twenty years for my dad in October. I miss all the things he did for me. He was a Jack of all trades and was always my call to rescue something gone wrong in my house. I miss the little conversations with my mom, all the things she taught me. Her last months, battling cancer were rough as I felt she had hid so much from us that might have helped her live longer. It took almost a decade for me to realize, she was right on so many things and the way she lived. I find myself as I get closer to her passing age, that it was her life and respect the privacy she sought. I am becoming the same way. Independent but tied to the community and church I grew up in. Covid knocked that apart and made me rethink so many things. I did not run with the crowd during the scamdemic and thought we would never free ourselves from the tentacles. But there were those out there that fought and we found each other, and by God’s grace we survived. My mother’s lesson, “keep going forward”.
Once again James, I thank you for your deep wisdom. This morning I was thinking about the wisdom of my Mom, who passed away from Covid on Mother’s Day in May 2020. I remember telling her when I was 40, why didn’t she make me listen harder when I was younger and thought that I knew everything. My Mom was my best friend and I told her everything ( well, almost everything 😉). She let me know that I was hard headed and wouldn’t listen back then. I was the type of daughter that had to figure it out for myself… in order to gain my own wisdom. She had 8 children and knew us all.. better than ourselves. This morning tho I was thinking about all of the fun and laughter that we had together! My life changed when she passed away and I miss her more everyday ❣️
Same here. I had my mom for 61 years. Her passing was divinely orchestrated and I know it is what she wanted, but being the one there for her at the end with hospice coming to her house was a truly gutting experience. She was almost 98 and my best friend. Yes, I told her everything, but now there is an empty space where she used to dwell. My life has changed since she has been gone. Her death has stripped away all pretense of things and ushered in the importance of nurturing our soul and spirit instead of acquiring meaningless and empty things.
I daresay, you are a man's man, a good man, and well on your way to being a holy man if not one already. Your ticket to a more joyous and meaningful life through little acts of kindness is achievable for all, pays the highest dividends, and does not require a ton of money, advanced degrees, and a non-profit status. It appeals to the head and heart and works. Thanks for sharing your experience, strength, and hope.
Absolutely beautiful message. So true about the ‘little things’ meaning much. My mom has been gone for 22 years and I still miss her nightly call to tell me goodnight. I’ll get a surprise call from my sons and be so grateful. I’ll get an unexpected text from a grandchild and smile for hours. Yes, cherish those moments and spread the same joy to others. Thank you for your post❤️🙏
As Mayor Wu in Boston philosophizes that every person in the world has a right to come to the United States her Chief of staff came out and said there should be gender equity in snow removal. Two feet of snow fell a week and a day ago, the streets of Boston are a snowy icy mess, trash piling up, and Wu is pushing gender equality for snow removal. By the way who gave her the authority to give every person in the world the right to come here, Mayor Wu? She has no authority to invite the world into America. Joe Biden had no right to open our borders and let the world into our country. This is treason! Mayor Wu is the same woman that had a Christmas party and right on her emailed invitation she said no white people allowed! We are 38 trillion dollars in debt and are spending 2 trillion per year in deficit spending. If we can’t take care of the 331 million people in America today how can we possibly take care of 8 billion people, or 3 billion, even 1 billion. I think that’s the point, isn’t it, we can’t.
Massachusetts governor, Maura Healy, has handed legislation to the House making Massachusetts a sanctuary state. This will sail through the legislature and Healy will sign it. Incredibly buses have already been spotted in Dorchester full of paid protestors. Boston was on the list for ice to come in and start deporting criminal illegal aliens. Healy and Wu are setting up for another all out war on ice.
The governor of Maine, Janet Mills, is following Massachusetts lead and promises the same. This is becoming a full blown insurrection. The states cannot decide which federal laws they are going to recognize and which laws they ignore. Does this not remind us of a similar democrat insurrection?
Do you notice, these Marxists aren’t pushing to replace the Chinese people in China with others. They’re not pushing to replace Mexicans in Mexico with others. No, it’s white Americans, white Canadians, and white Europeans they must have replaced. This is not a replacement theory, this is a replacement reality, you only have to listen to what they say.
They are right about one thing they say, there is more racism in this world today than ever, I t’s their racism against white people. Mayor Michelle Wu is an in your face racist.
Someone needs to stand up for our birth right. Someone needs to stand up for what our founding fathers handed the following generations. Trump cannot do this alone. J.Goodrich
“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.” —Reagan
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That, to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That, whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government..." —Declaration of Independence
Regarding the upcoming standing filibusters. D Senators are gonna do that filibusterring in ‘shifts’. But… there are no longer printed phone books to recite. So, I think we are going to see Terms & Agreements and User Agreements across many websites entered into the Congressional record. God bless C-SPAN for covering all of this.
Reading what someone else wrote is not in the definition of debate. When they do such things like that it just proves what Juveniles they are. Where are the adults?
Do you notice Americans are not allowed to just go and live anywhere we want to live, whenever and for as long as we want. Switzerland, China, the Bahamas etc., no it’s a privilege to be let into those countries as it should be. It’s only the predominantly white western countries that must be invaded. Why aren’t the Marxist pushing for Americans to invade China?
Yes! I love telling people that, please go to Switzerland and tell them at customs that you’re going to stay there to live. You will literally be on the next plane back to the US. I’ve actually seen that happen.!
I looked into moving to Ireland back in 2004! All you can have is a 3month visa and then have to leave the country before you can have another 3 month visa. Now as a retired person, you have to prove that you can support yourself in your retirement years, with a certain documented income so that you would never go on the ‘dole’ as they say there. Now with all of their unchecked immigration, I’m not so sure of my original desire to move there!
Does your friend there live in a city or the country? I went to the west of Ireland a year and a half ago and that part is still unchanged in the countryside. I didn’t go into any of the larger cities.
Mexico is the same now. You cannot just move here. Mexico requires $3,500 per mo active income and $140,000 in the bank (not counting investments or property .. cash only). Yep. They don’t want to take care if anyone but expect that the US keeps all their imports, let them work, get house loans and auto loans and send 67 billion back to support family members in Mexico. What a great trade deal this is !!!
It is the height of stupidity, hypocracy, and evil, that the Left, Democrats, and Liberal Progressives, that they take the stand they do on illegal immigration.
I live near Mexico in CA. I grew up in this area, and have lived in SoCA for 73 years. I am a Gringa, and I speak Spanish. I have traveled extensively in Mexico and Central America, even “living” in Mexico for months at a time.
To go and live there on a permanent basis as an expat (regardless of age) one has to prove to the Mexican government that one has an income and or substantial funds to live there. The Mexican government has no intention of giving any kind of “aid or free healthcare” to any of these “extranjeros”.
Oh and a PS: You can’t “work” for any local Mexicans as an “extranjero”. Maybe an “international/global/ corporate” job is possible. Not like the Mexicans and others “migrants” from around the world work up here in the USA.
Yup, exactly, I have lived and traveled enough overseas and know lots of other people who have too, to understand that you can’t just go to another country and decide to stay there, and especially not expect them to feed and house you. The leftists look so ridiculous and childish when they make statements like the ones Wu and Healey made 😡🙄
That the Lefties think that we should support all these “illegal migrants” is insane. Many countries do not allow any migration into their country without some sort of proof of financial independence (that means you have some dinero to support yourself). All the countries that have allowed this unmitigated ‘immigration’ around the world, look at them now. Totally taken over by ‘migrants’. And this is what happened on a wholesale level over the past 5 years. I know, I live in a ‘border city’. I saw it first hand.
Yes. Every ‘sanctuary’ state, city and town must be made responsible for paying for fully housing, schooling, feeding and medically caring for every illegal immigrant they are harbouring.
Make these states legal sponsors of illegal immigrants they want to keep. No more federal support. The funds must come from within the state. Maybe the economic reality will change some minds.
Should be “anyone impeding or interfering with ICE.” There is that pesky right to ‘peacefully’ protest. Protesters should be reminded of the responsibility to PEACEFULLY protest and to follow the law - especially when interacting with law enforcement.
Sign me up. I will be happy to lead the charge right into their homes and driving them out into the snow with no return into the home. Taken away and flown to an island and left. That should do it. Auction the homes and give the money to help fellow Americans. Done and Done.
Right James. I propose we K.I.R.K as many of those in opposition to freedom of speech and the other tenets of our constitution as we can. The acronym stands for Kindness In Rhetoric is Key which one Charlie Kirk personified. Keep-Ing 'R Kool while we debate the issues with the Left is one of the most effective ways to open their eyes to the insanity they espouse. A lot of prayer before, during and after each encounter is just as important. I Peter 3:15 says "Always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks a reason for the hope that is in you," and Charlie did just that.
Nice idea in theory and Charlie was one of my greatest heroes. Problem is, you try to debate them and it’s like talking to a middle schooler. They have no logical arguments to return; they only respond with name calling, lies, nastiness and violence. And it seems to be getting worse.
No, they all are part of Satan. They endorse what is abnormal, support chaos and criminals and partake in great immoral deeds. That is Satan. If you want to engage them in love have at it. Not me. I follow the below.
Proverbs 4:14-15 (ERV): "Don't take the path of the wicked; don't follow those who do evil. Stay away from that path; don't even go near it. Turn around and go another way".
I personally testify to surviving cult brainwashing and emerging into the light of day. I was utterly horrible in the 70s; a time of darkness that I see many parallels to in the present day.
The apostle Paul writes in the New Testament about women being saved by childbirth and that happened to me. (I Timothy 2:15)
I looked at that innocent baby and the full weight of responsibility hit me.
Of course, I was raised in a Bible believing church and knew the Truth before I was deceived. My falling away began in adolescence and I resisted God so I didn’t know that much. But I have to believe that the Truth can be learned by any who are willing. I had to relearn so much, but it was a precious and exciting adventure for which I wouldn’t trade anything.
That is where I am at from this point forward. There is no arguing or winning with someone who is possessed. God is on the move and the evil spirits are screaming. We can hear them. It is good vs. evil, all out in the open now. As we march around their walls in silent prayer and a shout of victory at the end, God wins. And He does tell us to stay away from the wicked. No problem!
Did you hear about the Democratic Satanist display in the Minnesota Capitol Building gifted to Walz? Yup you heard that right. We are in an active and alive Spiritual battle and yes SadieJay, you can hear the evils screaming, ranting and raving. It is all so clear. Team God for me and mine.
You bring up an excellent point: we are seeing evil everywhere, seemingly getting worse by the day, because God is about to DO something. God does not react to Satan; it is the other way around.
That's a nice idea Patrick, if you can get any of them to listen. I've not seen them do anything besides attack, scream foulness and blow whistles, .... but as far as I am concerned, they killed and then celebrated the death of the one man willing to go all in on talking with people all around the country.
I hope everyone of those ICEout paid protesters gets busted eardrums from whistles and they each get a big dose of tear gas. If anyone can ID them they should do so, and they can at least be reported to the IRS if they don't report their payments for protests. Our poor federal officers being doxxed, families threatened and attacked. Those officers need large bonuses after they get the job done.
Smurfs are proving that indeed some people are just too stupid to live within society. Is there even a place large enough to hold them all if they are arrested once their protest turns not so peaceful?
I'm so tired of them all and I can turn off their idiocy; I can only imagine what the officers think about it. Idiots think bringing children to their stupid protests is a good idea as well, when they know the kind of violence they are willing to do and provoke, then want to whine & cry when their kids gets a face full of tear gas. They should stop being deliberately stupid and should be looked into for abuse of those kids.
One thing we know for sure: the immigration flows in one direction. This means that what was created by westerners, and preserved by borders, has value to those who did not and could not create it.
But somehow, it is a moral wrong for westerners themselves to value it?
Mayor Wu is an agent of the CCP. She is doing exactly what the CCP wants her to do and saying everything the CCP wants her to say. I don't understand why nothing is being done about that.
Yes, the cast of characters you name above are definitely twisted. I would love to take a bulldozer and pick them up and dump them in a boat and set them out to sea away from the US. None of the above love America and I would not even call them American. Even if they were born here, they are not Americans and need to be elsewhere. They are nothing but ruination and malevolence.
Thanks James, remembering the earth tilts and spins as part of maintaining it balance is always useful. Discussing the analogy to ICE (where we Elected the President to do exactly what the President said he would do AND is doing)... I asked the left why they fight winter and the cold and ICE. Their dispute is with none of those, but with the tilt of the Earth, it has tilted away from them to restore balance, & it probably will tilt back. But their demands that the earth tilt for them are Icarus level hubris; a well deserved fall from grace.
Thank you! You said what most of us have been thinking about our illegitimate State Government. How else could these people have attained close to 100% control of a state that is ~40% Registered Democrats while ~40% of us have have 0% representation in Congress and >10% on Beacon Hill?
Thank you for this masterful summary of the phoney virtue signalers who have lost all sight of actual morality. I love your posts. Have you seen the report of Kentanji Brown at the Grammy Awards (her audiobook,”Lovely,” was nominated for an award) standing up and cheering on the anti-ICE speeches? Our entire belief in “content of character” rather than skin color is being perverted by identity politics.
Not to defend Boston or Massachusetts, but I personally enjoyed living, going to college, visiting the Jazz Workshop (and chatting with Pharoah Sanders after one of his sets!) as well as working there for several years!
It was also the place where I met and married my wife, the love of my life, so it will always have a special place in my heart 🥰 ... That was in early 1974. Just sayin'.
Still if we can, with God's grace, MAGA, and MAHA, why not pray for MBGA/MMGA as well?
I’ve lived here my whole life. The latest devastating thing Maura Healy has been doing is allowing utility companies to keep raising gas and electric delivery charges by up to 40%/year. I live in a 1800 sq. Ft. cape. My gas bill has gotten to almost 1500 dollars / month, and electric is over 400/month. I’m leaving like so many people are. I can’t afford to live here. 40 years of business down the drain.
When you find a door slightly ajar - and often rare - I wiggle in some truths. I explain that Marx was writing about pasty white people in modern type slavery conditions (meaning they were disposable) and that the notion of white was a tiny sliver in the 1800s. The Catholic Irish, Scilians, Eastern Europeans wouldn't have fit in the category. Finally, I joke that the Wu's of the world are colonizing white culture and isn't colonizing a bad thing? Personally, I am happy Asian Tiger moms insist kids learn classical music as live performances would go extinct without them. And Vivek optimizes being non-Christian while embracing our bible based nation (not my words but those of Ro Khanna.)
There are ways…Probably best not to see communication as a debate one must win. Maybe let them do most of the talking by asking why they believe as they do. See if they can verbalize the counter argument. Be willing to retreat if they get heated…
—“their spokesman bravely pivoted and said the Clintons “look forward to setting a precedent that applies to everyone.” Give me a break”
Maybe they shouldn’t have been quite so gleeful about all of the precedents they broke with regard to President Trump 😑
I am honestly not very excited about all this, I would be very surprised if they don’t just lie through their teeth during the whole thing, and/or use obfuscating language 😕
I would absolutely love for justice to be served to the Clintons. But I predict that they won't be able to recall anything. It worked well for Hillary before. Just simply say, "I don't recall" over and over and over again. Run out the clock. Justice will indeed be served some day in the future. But not in this lifetime. Not by mere mortals.
And afterall, "At this point, what difference does it make?" Besides, there was NO intent. I do believe Bill will use executive privilege to not answer and I wouldn't be surprised if the 5th is used by one or both. In any case, Congressional hearings anymore are dog n pony shows when in reality if lady justice was fair, indictments, arrests, or military tribunals should REALLY be what's happening. Afterall, the evidence is there.
Running Logic - hopefully this time, Comer will be prepared to get the truth from and actually trap…(as Jeff so aptly described) ….”America’s most unsquashable political cockroaches…” 🤣
hillary is a demon, a wretched bankrupt and morally depraved entity. She will lie lie lie and she will tell lapdog bill what to say. they deserve one another.
You know the Teflon pair will skate again. Why should we get excited over this when the elites in this country have been immune to consequences for decades!
They probably will lie. They have perfected it since serving in Arkansas, probably before that time. Let's just pray that they will be entangled in those lies and caught. Justice then can finally be served! God loves true justice!
All they need is to catch one good lie from each of them. And it will be recorded so those two weasels won't be able to get away with it unless both come in and say things like, "I don't recall" or "I don't understand the question."
I hope so! It would be great if it ends up being a trap that they fall into, but they’re so slimy that they always seem to be able to slip out of any accountability 😕
If I wanted to paint a picture of the Democrat party to help their Adderall-riddled subjects fully understand their dear leaders, I'd drop a strategic though figurative nuke on each former president (from either side) if provable malfeasance can be shown. Let's dispense with the misconceptions and help them see things as they really are. MAGA 250!
About the Tesla/XAi merger…. What happened to our anti-trust laws in this country? I’m old enough to remember when Ma Bell was broken up because it was too big, but since then…nothing.
I think Elon has done some really great things but this merger seems like…a lot, and will make it impossible for others to compete in the marketplace. (I also feel this way about Amazon and have for years). Someone explain to me what I’m not understanding, please.
I just commented to about this. It raises my not so good feelers, and has me quite concerned. I’m not celebrating Elons ownership of the entire world. Too much power. We know what it does. 😔
I think we are either heading to a world where pedophiles and Satanists cannot hide and the world is filled with love, joy and faith...or a world where we are all enslaved with social credit scores and an inability to build wealth. I prefer to think the former as it gives me hope.
I see...a man who has no fear of God and imagines himself to be as one and owns the keys to all human intellect in an electric box. He can even use any face front to mask and confuse the followers of anyone, The Pope, DJT, moving pictures of Jesus and Mary or Apostles, even bring statues to life and healings so that even if ppl wanted to die they could not for an evil purpose. These are the end times. Jesus Christ is our only way of salvation from the human nature of self seeking godship arrogance. Be willing to die. This is the way and is is good.
Jenna McCarthy substack today brought up some serious issues about Elon's Grok re: nasty sex stuff. Really bad sex stuff. I am worried about hearing this as I did not think Elon would partake in that filth. Here is the teaser:
If you thought Cyberworld reached peak chaos when Grok started acting like a randy teenage Photoshop addict, buckle up, buttercups. After last month’s viral undressing scandal—when users discovered Elon Musk’s AI assistant could strip real women *and children* down to AI-generated bikinis made of dental floss or less—Musk issued a classic Silicon Valley non-apology (“I didn’t even know it could do that [laughs in Canadian] but we’ll probably for sure look into it.”).
We know someone who partook of the basics of grok and had the ai calling him sexy names and having a “relationship” with it and he’s a married man. We were shocked he thought it was okay. 😔 We haven’t seen anything yet when it comes to addiction to porn or online porn, addiction to devices and computers etc etc. This AI is scary. Useful yes….worth it? NOPE!
If we break up any monopoly, it should be Blackrock, Vanguard and State Street. Especially Blackrock because it has systematically bought up a controlling interest in every major corporation and has been calling the shots on crap like DEI and chemtrails. There are now a limited number of conglomerates that own practically every food company which is why we are all served up processed crap across the board. It is a monopoly of the worst kind.
I’m sure you also remember too big to fail. Have those corporations been broken up into bite sized chunks which can be allowed to fail? Of course not and vertical mergers and takeovers have continued apace.
well one thing those other car companies have is - better cars - the battle over ICE & EVs was fought in the early 20th century and for the same reasons today as then, ICE won - and will win again
ICE vs EVs: the actual ice from the recent winter storm did take out EVs. Those batteries drain quickly when the temps drop. Cue the tow trucks with diesel-powered chargers to get the EVs moving again. 🙄
This just reinforces to me that we are racing towards the End Times. One man with so much power, influence and money….what could go wrong? God is in control, not any man, even though some think they are. I’m praying that Jesus returns for “His church” soon.
I think anti-trust generally applies to owning a single market; Ma Bell owned most of US market. All of the SpaceX companies have competition (autos, Blue Origin, Blue Sky etc.) and combining these companies does not appear (to me) to overlap/suppress competition. Blue Origin can start/buy a car company, or rival to xAI etc.
If anyone thinks the Clinton’s will remember anything about Epstein I have a bridge in NYC I will sell you. This is nothing but political theater and Bill will wipe the fools on the Republican side like the master bullshitter he is. Hilary will just play dumb because in the end she is. The Democrats will pretend that this is the worse thing ever done to an ex President and the Republicans have hit a new low. The Republicans just need to start working and passing legislation that actually matters. Taking away all rights of government unions to negotiate. Tying the hands of a Democrat lead Congress from massive spending increases. Making it a Federal crime to release violent criminals make into the public by stripping away immunity from the judges and prosecutors who do it. Give us the right to sue them. Making DOGE the most powerful agency ever. Giving it the ability to stop any spending when they find corruption like what’s happening in Minnesota and California. Tying any Federal funding of state and local law enforcement to complete compliance with the Federal Government to enforce immigration laws. Reforming the immigration laws so it’s easier not harder to come here legally. Etc etc etc.
I’m tempering my expectations. They’ve had weeks, months, years to confer with “counsel” to come up with a corrupt plan to avoid actually answering anything and not to get caught in questions trying to trap them. 😂. Slimy snakes like this don’t survive for decades without perfecting their lies, cheats, and safe havens with corrupt lawyers. They’re ready for this. I will gladly eat my words if this isn’t a nothing burger. IF anyone can hold them accountable - I’ll dance in the street!
Yep, they'll be hoping for One Big Fifth-Fest. The Clintons “look forward to setting a precedent that applies to everyone" -- that's just wishful thinking that in a couple years their Dem congress can safely do the same to our current President. Fortunately, they'll be in jail and JD will be in charge...
I agree and I am tempering my expectations too. I don't trust the Clintons one iota and I believe that they have a strategy. However, I believe the no time limit is interesting, so they could keep the Clintons under sworn deposition for awhile.
"Billary" has been sending out messages about her "Christian" response (see her letter admonishing Allie Beth Stuckey - "Toxic Empathy") - I'm sure the Clinton's next approach is how "Christian" they are - will a "new" definition replace the meaning of that title?! 🤔😒
How many Americans actually know what a "Christian" is? I'd say 10% or less. Most church goers don't even seem to know. Furthermore, compared to America in say 1950, most "Americans" don't even know what that means. Can I get an Amen?
This is political theater on both sides pushed by the media who are tiring of “Ice Out” already. Note that all of these big Ice Out riots are where it is cold and there is snow?
Well at least it will make for entertaining t.v. Being retired and having some time to browse what’s out there, I can’t believe the human race is that shallow and unimaginative.
My husband and I saw “Melania” on Saturday. It was excellent! The theatre was packed and everyone applauded at the end. It’s so well done, interesting and just a great documentary. Thoroughly enjoyed it!
The ads were somewhat misleading “showing in theaters Friday only” but I think they meant theaters as opposed to streaming. It is in a lot of theaters at least through Thursday. Hopefully, it will be extended!
Oh man. I went for a walk and thought I’d listen to his podcast - I had to turn it off. So much language! I used to listen to him before he joined the admin and he didn’t use so much foul language then! I definitely couldn’t listen around my kids at all, but it makes me sad to hear someone I think has a lot to offer, have his voice and insights completely veiled by degenerate language. Words have power - cursing is called cursing for a reason 😥
Current & future generations also no longer know the beauty of fluffy or billowy beautiful clouds in the day sky. Now, it is ugly, poisonous streaks instead of beautiful formations
At Walmart the other day, and the guy at the service desk caught my attention - because he was just standing there looking out at the customers. No phone in his hand and it actually looked odd to me! Then noticed another guy at the register doing the same - no phone just looking up at customers walking by. He did have to sneak a quick look at his phone. My guess is WalMart has told them no phones when on duty - great idea!!
No countryside excursions? We live in a suburb…we could see the night sky when we first moved here over a decade ago but light pollution has increased since then and we are getting close to having to move farther out if we made this a priority…
Sometimes I’ve taken my young boys out on chilly winter nights, bundled with blankets and winter gear and we lie down on our trampoline to stare up at the stars. Even though we haven’t done it a lot, they talk about it all the time.
The memory of one cold, crystal clear, star drenched and sparkling night from my childhood will always be with me. It melted into my soul and I felt like the stars were singing with millions of sweet voices. I thought of a black velvet blanket on which countless diamonds had been spread.
I had just walked alone out of a country church service to wait for my parents and it was a deeply moving spiritual experience; seeing all those stars and knowing God has named them all.
The court reporter at the Billary testimony is going to get carpel tunnel having to type "I don't recall" repeatedly! "At this point, what difference does it make? "
You just know they are trying to get her tranquilizer dosed just right so she doesn't flip out. I hope they fail. And one of her favorite words is 'uh'.

Do you know the story of the Rainbow Bridge? Well in case you don't, here it is...
Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies - one that has been especially close to someone here - that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food and water, sunshine and cozy beds, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who have been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special, someone who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stoops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; his eager body quivers. Suddenly, he breaks from the group, flying over the green grass - his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain on your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet - so long gone but never absent from your heart.
And please know that home hospice for pets is available so they can be at home and not at a cold and stressful vet's office. Palliative care at home along with helping them make their sojourn Home to Heaven.
My son wrote a big check for a home last visit for our beloved ‘Indiana Jones’ dog, when at 15 he just couldn’t take care of me anymore. It was so comforting at such a difficult time.
Yes, the home hospice for pets are to be commended. The vet & assistant who came for my Spike was less cost than the vet hospital, and my boi did not have to be stressed & I was able to hold him the entire time. And it included cremation and a paw print keepsake.
TriTorch, thank You for posting this. I had a beautiful female yellow lab named Brandy. Of the three dogs we had Brandy was the one that lit up the house. She had such a big personality. I walked her and our male lab Colby twice a day. On walks I could let them off the leash and if there was a puddle she would look at me and I’d say no puddles, she would bolt through the puddle, the muddier the better. She knew I’d have to wash her and wipe her down, she loved that!
Brandy picked me, I was her human. She followed me whenever I was home and laid on my feet wherever I sat. I loved our 3 dogs but Brandy made me special.
At 14 she started getting me up about 1-2 AM and had to go out. I figured out she was throwing up. After many tests including a biopsy of her stomach we found out she had stomach cancer, I couldn’t believe it, she was so active and healthy. I started feeding her all different kinds of human food, steak, pork chops, chicken, shaved steak, etc.. Whenever she got sick from one food she would turn her nose up at it. I ended up giving her pancakes, syrup and breakfast sausages, this lasted a while but eventually she stopped eating that as well. Even keeping water down started being a problem. Brandy was my dog, my wife was mad at me for waiting though Brandy kept fighting, I had to put her to sleep. The last full day of her life I took her to the neighborhood school and played ball with her, she acted as though she was fine she was a warrior. The day finally came and my best friend was gone, I loved her! I prayed to God my older brother would take Brandy until I see them both again, a day I can honestly say I long for. To this day I still feel I let my best friend down.
Regarding Presley and Ilhan Omar, somebody (!!) is funding their runs for office. Despite the intentions of our Founding Fathers, nobody can run a successful campaign for Congress nowadays without a lot of cash.
Refugees and broke people don't have lots of cash.
I suspect SCOTUS will fix that when they end birthright citizenship before the midterms. Unfortunately, the SAVE act does NOT require a proof of citizenship if a person is already registered, only if they are newly registering or are changing something (i.e., re-registering).
It literally states several times within the body of the SAVE Act that the proposed measures will not take effect until 2027. So it doesn't matter if we rush it through, by its own wording it cannot and will not have any impact whatsoever on this years midterms.
"What does Hilary know? " With Frazzledrip under her belt, does anyone really believe she just sat around drinking pina coladas when there was seriously sick shit available for the asking? 5 will get you 10 that whatever Slick did pales in comparison to what she did.
My neighbor told me about frazzledrip and said never to watch it. She didn’t sleep for a week. She just cried. It grieves my soul that this woman/snake has been allowed to infest humanity for as long as she has. 😢
This is part of what I posted yesterday to my usual "forwards" cautioning them to understand where going down the Epstein rabbit hole will lead. I am omitting the other two examples I gave, our atrocities on the Germans after WWII, and what the Bolsheviks did to millions of Russian peasants. I copied Eliza Ayeres, editor of Sunnysjournal article saying she was not going there or writing about Epstein. As with your friend, Frazzledrip, and the tortures covered in those other two examples I gave, will forever haunt me.
"The third time I tried to avoid seeing another infamous sick torture was Frazzledrip, where Hillary Clinton and Huma Abadin tortured a young girl. Almost all the NYC cops who saw the video on Anthony Weiner's laptop (Huma's husband at the time) were suicided. Unfortunately, the scene popped up a few years later in a link on another article, and I saw enough to realize what it was before I closed the window.
I will not divulge any of these sick tortures, because all of them still haunt me, and you don't need that. All you need to know is these things not only happened, but they are still happening today. Done by people who are household names. Music , Hollywood, sports , media, finance. It is Not just politicians committing these atrocities.
This is what these 2 articles I linked are saying. Be careful before you decide to dive into the latest release of these Epstein files, because they contain similar truly sick things. You will never be able to unsee them , so keep that in mind from one who has seen far more than I wish I had. "
And that’s why I plan to heed my neighbors warning. I saw a couple pics off hunters laptop and decided I do not need those atrocities in my head. I will not look at any of them. I feel horrific for the ones who do have to look. It’s up to them to prosecute. I’m sorry for them and pray God protects their souls from what they have to endure. It’s evil in words we don’t have in the human language to describe. Pure evil in all its form. God is grieved beyond our understanding.
A good friend who was reasonably awake went all the way when she went to the local Cracker Barrel ~6 years ago for lunch. Waiting in line and the man in front of him started talking to her. An older man, an army colonel . Out of the blue, he started talking to her about leading men into the DUMB's to rescue children. The horrors they had seen , and had to live with. He asked her to please tell others what is really going on, and the price people like he and his men were paying.
That was her IT moment for "holy crap. All the stuff rolandttg has been sending me is real".
Wow! That’s the first time I’ve heard of someone actually talking to someone who was part of the rescuing!!! It’s never been actually verified that it was happening. Wow. Just wow.
Just truly beyond believable. But I’m telling you, the world is waking up. I heard some clips of the Grammys, which seriously is exposing it and I will not be watching the Super Bowl halftime show. I am actually praying that God will remove it. Change it something because I believe it’s going to … I don’t even know, but capital E Evile!
Same goes for the "consumption" of babies. Just hearing about it will give one nightmares. Our spirits were not created to tolerate such obscene horrors without damage.
When I was told some things I couldn’t stop crying for months. My parents were so worried about me. I never thought things would be OK ever again. I started praying that God would protect my eyes and my ears from hearing anything I could not handle. I need to start that prayer up again. 😭
Warning to normal people who don't know: be forewarned, Frazzledrip is a very dark conspiracy--let me correct that to "rabbit hole"-- that those who are sensitive might want to avoid researching.
People scoff at me when I tell them that the US is the largest "consumer" of child trafficking on the planet. For anyone with a passing familiarity with the Prophets in the Old and New Testaments, we should understand that God holds entire nations responsible for allowing such grievous corruption and America is long overdue for such Judgement. God's people should understand that hard times are coming.
The genocide in Gaza is a sadness. Watched Tucker's interview with Young Turks Cenk Uygur and that was an eye opener. 2 hours but well worth it. As for God allowing all this, free will but if there is another reason, you will have to ask Him.
I have not been affiliated with a religion since I was 13. Spent a good deal of my life as and agnostic / atheist . We are both very spiritual now, and have been for a decade of more. Practice gratitude every day. We both read "The Naked Bible". It was a real eye opener.
The Clintons have been under oath many times before, the phrase is meaningless to them. As you mentioned, the best hope is that they will commit perjury and receive an appropriate sentence, which in their case would be life.
A Winters Note
It’s sometimes easy to think we’re not making much of a difference. We wake up, get the family going, we go to work, maybe help a friend, just our normal routine. The truth is most of life is ordinary. We should never think though, our everyday actions don’t make a difference. Everything we do matters, not just the big things, but the small everyday acts we do. A smile, a kind word, a phone call to a friend that’s struggling, these are the things that have the greatest impact on others around us. In Mathew 10:42 Jesus said “whoever gives even a cup of cold water to one of my disciples, will be rewarded”. This meaning even a small act of kindness done will be noticed and rewarded.
When you go the extra mile at work, even something that goes unnoticed, your hard work, faithfulness, dedication, and the sacrifice you make, is noticed by God. Nothing we do goes unnoticed by him. These moments may seem ordinary but these are the things that have the biggest impact on the people we touch.
I often think of after my mother had passed. I didn’t miss the big things she did, it was all the small things. Every morning we would sit, have coffee and just talk. I missed that the most. I missed her encouraging words helping me to move forward, her positive message telling me I could succeed. I never realized that those small ordinary moments were the things that would one day mean the most to me. We should always be aware that it’s these small things we do everyday that have the greatest impact on the people around us. My mother passed away 33 years ago, more than 1/2 my life, and I still grieve the loss. This shows the impact her kindness had on my life and that grief has no timeline.
We all have many more ordinary days than miraculous ones, but the ordinary days do have purpose, they create the space for God to work and make those miraculous days in our life and those around us.
In the not too distant past I would wake and think maybe today things will start to change. We’ve all been through so much over these past 6 years. One positive thing we can do for those that have helped us is let them know, acknowledge it. thank them. People may never know the impact they had on you if you don’t acknowledge it. Let them know the positive impact they made on you.
I have plowed snow for 40 years. Over those years I have seen the stress caused by bad weather, people afraid they will be left. When I tell them that I will always be there to help them, and that before you know it the weather will warm. The perennials planted around their house will begin to pop and flower again, I feel their stress melting away.
As greedy and as selfish as man can be the earth pays him no attention. In the spring the earth will again tilt back on her axis and begin to warm. Like the earth life has seasons. There are seasons of growth, there are seasons of harvest. The winter is considered a season to connect with our inner self, and with our guardian angels, a time to awaken our spiritual consciousness.
Give the people around you a call. Let them know you will be there for them if they need you. Don’t let people think they are alone. Share the gifts that God has given to you. It’s those small things we do that can have the greatest impact on those around us. J.Goodrich
THANK YOU! I found your post so encouraging! I am in winter (both seasonally and in life!) (I am caring for my elderly mother in my home who came with SO MUCH baggage; anger, and hateful conversations!
The past 4 years have been hard emotionally and spiritually - and I have struggled with resentment! But then.... A "spring" of sorts is appearing - the more she is dependent for help and the more my family and I have been dependable to provide help - her attitude has softened and she is letting go of the baggage she has carried for so long (my parents divorced after 35 years marriage, and then Dad remarried 10 years later - she never forgave him and didn't want us to either!)
BUT Thank God - He can do healing deep down inside - in her - in me - in every place healing is needed. And He IS bringing forth healing!
I stand firm on the Word of God - He is my Rock and my Fortress!
Through the "sunny" days and the storms of life - He truly has NEVER left or forsaken me!
I am humbly grateful! Thank you for sharing! 🙏🏼🙂
Thank you for this. I have a sister who has untold trauma and bitterness in her life, and this gives me hope that I will have a relationship with her again. It's really all about Jesus. He saves and delivers.
Seventy-five years in this life has taught me that it’s all temporary. We should never assume that the status of today is how it will always be. Nor should we think that God has forsaken us and our trials when we can’t see any way forward. We can’t change others, but we can choose to be at peace in our inner most parts.
Patience is indeed a virtue of great value.
Willing Spirit—Heartily agree. Everything is temporary. I also learned that life is made up of ‘small, ordinary moments’—hat tip to J. Goodrich—with occasional large events sprinkled in. Rarely do I get a life-changing opportunity but I do often get brief chances to make my slice of this world a better place.
Very well said. Thank you.
It is indeed good to be at peace with God and the world. I have been in recovery mode over the past almost 4 weeks. Takes awhile after caregiving but I would do it all over again! To think he is at rest with no more sorrow, pain or dementia confusion! I’m glad there is a Heaven for me and everyone who will accept it. John 3:16. It was bitter cold last Saturday but inside the church was warmth and the story of a sweet Southern Christian Gentleman! My beloved sweetheart!
Then on Sunday morning the miracle we all look forward to happened! I now have a new beautiful great nephew!! “To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the Heaven: A time to be born and a time to die;…” Ecclesiastes 3:1-2a KJV.
VelvetStitching, my dad just passed in November at 93. He was my favorite as I was his and mother hated that and was a horrible witch to me my whole life, but just this last month she has finally softened and I can help her put their affairs in order. No easy task since she lives five hours away, and the death has pushed her into anxiety mode and she now has what I call intermittent dementia.
She can’t drive and is living on her own, but this week, (she doesn’t know it) I am putting a deposit down on an independent living place here. She’ll be on a wait list, so I’ll have quite a few months to convince her to move here. My brother and I sat them down over two years ago to try to convince them to move here, that went over like a lead balloon. You see, she’ll be further away from her beloved son and grandsons.
Anyway, I’m glad to hear that your mom has finally softened, thank you for sharing.
I’m almost 70, even though we have longevity in my family, I never imagined that I would be under such stress about aging parents as I am now. Dad hid his illnesses for a couple of years before he passed, so it’s been pretty easy I must admit, well until last August.
My brother can’t help because his wife has Lewy Body dementia, probably jab induced but that’s a topic for another day.
Prayers, Karen. Been down that road. Mom is clear minded but mobility/fall risk issues and a bad case of TDS. Two sisters at opposite ends of the country teamed up with me to 'convince' (she really had no choice as she could no longer care for herself independently) her to move closer to me in an assisted living place. Over the past 3 years she has become easier to get along with, and can't remember the last time we've had a political battle or made little snide passive aggressive digs at me.
Amazing how they soften. I am so happy for you. ❤️
Btw - I understand abt the special relationship with Dad!
& My dad passed a year ago at 90…so very hard - even now!
I'm very happy for you that your relationship with Mom is improving!
I pray God open doors for you all! 😍
God bless!
Boy, so many similarities. I pray the same for you. ❤️
Losing ones independence is not easy.
Convincing dad that he should no longer drive his car was heartbreaking. To him and us boys.
Prayers and blessings for your acts of kindness, especially after a contentious relationship with your mother is admirable, Karen
Thank you. Lets hope as we loose independence later, much later, that we do it with grace.
Good on ya, Karen. I had a difficult mom too. At times I didn't handle myself well.
Right there with you, John!
I will admit the same, especially in dad’s last few months.
I'm at the stage trying to talk my Mom into assisted living and she is having fits about it. It's so hard and I physically can't take care of her.
In my case, I was more or less living with her - sleeping on an air mattress in her spare bedroom-she had the money for home care aides to come in, but they were unreliable and was not going to pay someone to stay there while she slept. (had to get up thru the night to pee and needed help). Kept saying she just 'needed more time' to recover from a leg injury. Four months in of being basically unable to work, (self-employed but her care dominated my schedule to where I had to turn projects down), I laid down the law. Set up a zoom call with my sisters and we told her I was not going to keep this up. Oh she was not happy, tried every guilt trip under the sun but she did recognize she could not remain 'independent' - which she had not really been for the last couple of years. Even before her injury I was there 3-4 days a week for something and a neighbor came and brought her mail and newspaper every day. Got her moved and she sulked in her apartment for a couple of months, had her meals delivered and refused to participate in any activities. But she eventually came around and it's been a godsend. Been there almost 3 years and she has made new friends, is in better health, and physical therapy has gotten her to where she can do things like get to the bathroom and dress herself without help. Complains less, and relatives/sisters comment how she is practically a different person. Hasn't picked a political fight with me in a couple of years and even convinced her to vote for some conservatives. But did vote for Harris...
This is wonderful to hear, well, at least most of it, lol. The Harris part not so much!
MO is a red state, so it didn't really matter.
Velvet, I’m praying for Jesus to save your mom.
Thank you! He has! And that is the change! 😍
Amen and hallelujah!
Oh, praise God! You made my day. Blessings!
Please take advantage of any respite or supports your state offers. Our state pays family members now for eldercare at home. See if yours does. God bless you.
Yes ma'am! I do! 😍
I believe that when people are bitter like this, they only need someone to listen to them. They want to say aloud how they were wronged and have another person hear it. They want to share their hurt. When their complaints are openly aired the bitterness weakens and can recede. So let her talk and listen to help her heal.
Unfortunately for the children of very difficult marriages - we have heard it all our lives - same stuff.
But now I'm an adult and I can speak truth back into it (not my truth - but the Word of God!). Yes, she is speaking her hurt and it is slowly healing.
"the children of very difficult marriages" - that's a good way to put it. That describes my dear husband. God is working in him :)
My experience is they (the parents, in my case my Mom, Dad died when I was 30) soften with time as they age. I had a quite adversarial relationship with my mom. As she got older and her memory started to be affected, she softened from the narcissist, Queen Bee that she could be, and I could tolerate being around her. She came to appreciate all I was doing for her, and that I was the only one of her three children who really cared about her well being and looked after her.
It’s such a lesson in psychology. Too bad we didn’t learn this is psych 101, we could have seen the light at the end of the tunnel. Stored it away in our brains. Lol!
It’s not the big things we miss, it’s the little things! So true. My mother passed away 13 years ago in January. It will be twenty years for my dad in October. I miss all the things he did for me. He was a Jack of all trades and was always my call to rescue something gone wrong in my house. I miss the little conversations with my mom, all the things she taught me. Her last months, battling cancer were rough as I felt she had hid so much from us that might have helped her live longer. It took almost a decade for me to realize, she was right on so many things and the way she lived. I find myself as I get closer to her passing age, that it was her life and respect the privacy she sought. I am becoming the same way. Independent but tied to the community and church I grew up in. Covid knocked that apart and made me rethink so many things. I did not run with the crowd during the scamdemic and thought we would never free ourselves from the tentacles. But there were those out there that fought and we found each other, and by God’s grace we survived. My mother’s lesson, “keep going forward”.
LMWC- you know what they say- we become our parents! I know, I'm now my mother LOL.
I’m not just my mother, pretty sure I’m also my grandmother lolol 😂🥰❤️
My grandmother would save even a tablespoon of green beans, I do too and feed them to the dogs the next day. 😉
She was a lovely lady, so kind and beautiful but she somehow raised a narcissistic daughter, my mother.
Nooooooooo! 😂🫣 please no!
Thank you James🙏 and thank you Jeff, both writers have made a beautiful positive impact on my morning 😊
Once again James, I thank you for your deep wisdom. This morning I was thinking about the wisdom of my Mom, who passed away from Covid on Mother’s Day in May 2020. I remember telling her when I was 40, why didn’t she make me listen harder when I was younger and thought that I knew everything. My Mom was my best friend and I told her everything ( well, almost everything 😉). She let me know that I was hard headed and wouldn’t listen back then. I was the type of daughter that had to figure it out for myself… in order to gain my own wisdom. She had 8 children and knew us all.. better than ourselves. This morning tho I was thinking about all of the fun and laughter that we had together! My life changed when she passed away and I miss her more everyday ❣️
Same here. I had my mom for 61 years. Her passing was divinely orchestrated and I know it is what she wanted, but being the one there for her at the end with hospice coming to her house was a truly gutting experience. She was almost 98 and my best friend. Yes, I told her everything, but now there is an empty space where she used to dwell. My life has changed since she has been gone. Her death has stripped away all pretense of things and ushered in the importance of nurturing our soul and spirit instead of acquiring meaningless and empty things.
That described my relationship with my Dad.
Thanks James. This is what we need to keep human sanity. This is the Godly way.
I seem to recall a similar post you recently made. I appreciate it.
Honestly, saying “thank you” makes a tremendous difference.
Thank you
See James, by the responses why we needed you back. Don't ever leave again!
I daresay, you are a man's man, a good man, and well on your way to being a holy man if not one already. Your ticket to a more joyous and meaningful life through little acts of kindness is achievable for all, pays the highest dividends, and does not require a ton of money, advanced degrees, and a non-profit status. It appeals to the head and heart and works. Thanks for sharing your experience, strength, and hope.
Thank you, James Goodrich.
Hear, hear!
Absolutely beautiful…..
🥲such a wonderful message, thank you, it means so much❣️☕️🍪
Thank you for this post 🙏🏻
Thank you James!
Absolutely beautiful message. So true about the ‘little things’ meaning much. My mom has been gone for 22 years and I still miss her nightly call to tell me goodnight. I’ll get a surprise call from my sons and be so grateful. I’ll get an unexpected text from a grandchild and smile for hours. Yes, cherish those moments and spread the same joy to others. Thank you for your post❤️🙏
This is a beautiful, moving piece of writing. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing this James. I really needed this small
encouragement today as I raise a little….so much in the mundane.
As Mayor Wu in Boston philosophizes that every person in the world has a right to come to the United States her Chief of staff came out and said there should be gender equity in snow removal. Two feet of snow fell a week and a day ago, the streets of Boston are a snowy icy mess, trash piling up, and Wu is pushing gender equality for snow removal. By the way who gave her the authority to give every person in the world the right to come here, Mayor Wu? She has no authority to invite the world into America. Joe Biden had no right to open our borders and let the world into our country. This is treason! Mayor Wu is the same woman that had a Christmas party and right on her emailed invitation she said no white people allowed! We are 38 trillion dollars in debt and are spending 2 trillion per year in deficit spending. If we can’t take care of the 331 million people in America today how can we possibly take care of 8 billion people, or 3 billion, even 1 billion. I think that’s the point, isn’t it, we can’t.
Massachusetts governor, Maura Healy, has handed legislation to the House making Massachusetts a sanctuary state. This will sail through the legislature and Healy will sign it. Incredibly buses have already been spotted in Dorchester full of paid protestors. Boston was on the list for ice to come in and start deporting criminal illegal aliens. Healy and Wu are setting up for another all out war on ice.
The governor of Maine, Janet Mills, is following Massachusetts lead and promises the same. This is becoming a full blown insurrection. The states cannot decide which federal laws they are going to recognize and which laws they ignore. Does this not remind us of a similar democrat insurrection?
Do you notice, these Marxists aren’t pushing to replace the Chinese people in China with others. They’re not pushing to replace Mexicans in Mexico with others. No, it’s white Americans, white Canadians, and white Europeans they must have replaced. This is not a replacement theory, this is a replacement reality, you only have to listen to what they say.
They are right about one thing they say, there is more racism in this world today than ever, I t’s their racism against white people. Mayor Michelle Wu is an in your face racist.
Someone needs to stand up for our birth right. Someone needs to stand up for what our founding fathers handed the following generations. Trump cannot do this alone. J.Goodrich
“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.” —Reagan
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That, to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That, whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government..." —Declaration of Independence
True statement. It's the same with Bible based Christianity.
It must be taught.
Otherwise, you end up with fakes or heathens.
Regarding the upcoming standing filibusters. D Senators are gonna do that filibusterring in ‘shifts’. But… there are no longer printed phone books to recite. So, I think we are going to see Terms & Agreements and User Agreements across many websites entered into the Congressional record. God bless C-SPAN for covering all of this.
Never underestimate the time it takes to read the ingredients on packages of processed foods....
They won't do it of course, because they'll trip over their own tongues trying to pronounce them, and they can't be seen as scientifically illiterate.
Touche!
Reading what someone else wrote is not in the definition of debate. When they do such things like that it just proves what Juveniles they are. Where are the adults?
I want to see it!
When freedom isn't earned it's given away. People are surrendering to AI, the real Big Brother. Freedom has become a feeble illusion.
Well then everyone should also have the right to go into Wu’s and Healey’s houses then 🤷♀️
Do you notice Americans are not allowed to just go and live anywhere we want to live, whenever and for as long as we want. Switzerland, China, the Bahamas etc., no it’s a privilege to be let into those countries as it should be. It’s only the predominantly white western countries that must be invaded. Why aren’t the Marxist pushing for Americans to invade China?
Yes! I love telling people that, please go to Switzerland and tell them at customs that you’re going to stay there to live. You will literally be on the next plane back to the US. I’ve actually seen that happen.!
I looked into moving to Ireland back in 2004! All you can have is a 3month visa and then have to leave the country before you can have another 3 month visa. Now as a retired person, you have to prove that you can support yourself in your retirement years, with a certain documented income so that you would never go on the ‘dole’ as they say there. Now with all of their unchecked immigration, I’m not so sure of my original desire to move there!
Poor Ireland is not the beautiful place I visited in the early 2000s. A friend there is beside herself at the changes brought by the immigrants.
Does your friend there live in a city or the country? I went to the west of Ireland a year and a half ago and that part is still unchanged in the countryside. I didn’t go into any of the larger cities.
They are going to unwhite the countryside in the UK....
How did the immigrants get past Ireland's 3 month limit?
They are part of the EU which has welcomed the immigrants and they can move freely through the EU, which Ireland is a member.
Mexico is the same now. You cannot just move here. Mexico requires $3,500 per mo active income and $140,000 in the bank (not counting investments or property .. cash only). Yep. They don’t want to take care if anyone but expect that the US keeps all their imports, let them work, get house loans and auto loans and send 67 billion back to support family members in Mexico. What a great trade deal this is !!!
It is the height of stupidity, hypocracy, and evil, that the Left, Democrats, and Liberal Progressives, that they take the stand they do on illegal immigration.
It’s only because they profit off of the grift and fraud themselves!💥
I live near Mexico in CA. I grew up in this area, and have lived in SoCA for 73 years. I am a Gringa, and I speak Spanish. I have traveled extensively in Mexico and Central America, even “living” in Mexico for months at a time.
To go and live there on a permanent basis as an expat (regardless of age) one has to prove to the Mexican government that one has an income and or substantial funds to live there. The Mexican government has no intention of giving any kind of “aid or free healthcare” to any of these “extranjeros”.
Oh and a PS: You can’t “work” for any local Mexicans as an “extranjero”. Maybe an “international/global/ corporate” job is possible. Not like the Mexicans and others “migrants” from around the world work up here in the USA.
Yup, exactly, I have lived and traveled enough overseas and know lots of other people who have too, to understand that you can’t just go to another country and decide to stay there, and especially not expect them to feed and house you. The leftists look so ridiculous and childish when they make statements like the ones Wu and Healey made 😡🙄
That the Lefties think that we should support all these “illegal migrants” is insane. Many countries do not allow any migration into their country without some sort of proof of financial independence (that means you have some dinero to support yourself). All the countries that have allowed this unmitigated ‘immigration’ around the world, look at them now. Totally taken over by ‘migrants’. And this is what happened on a wholesale level over the past 5 years. I know, I live in a ‘border city’. I saw it first hand.
They should be obligated to personally house & provide for all illegals in their jurisdictions. No public funding allowed!
Anyone protesting ICE should be fined the expense an illegal or family has cost the public. Including serving their jail sentences.
Yes. Every ‘sanctuary’ state, city and town must be made responsible for paying for fully housing, schooling, feeding and medically caring for every illegal immigrant they are harbouring.
Simply put an end to Federal funding of anything related to or supporting illegal immigrants or sanctuary status.
Oh yeah, make it retroactive. Then deport!
Make these states legal sponsors of illegal immigrants they want to keep. No more federal support. The funds must come from within the state. Maybe the economic reality will change some minds.
Agreed most heartily. Put their money where their mouths are.
Should be “anyone impeding or interfering with ICE.” There is that pesky right to ‘peacefully’ protest. Protesters should be reminded of the responsibility to PEACEFULLY protest and to follow the law - especially when interacting with law enforcement.
Jovan Pulitzer explains in detail which laws the protesters are breaking:

SD, run for office! Your type of thinking is exactly what we need!
Oh I’m a decent thinker. Fair snarky commenter. But no popularity contests won here!
I could be an advisor & researcher, nothing more.
Sign me up. I will be happy to lead the charge right into their homes and driving them out into the snow with no return into the home. Taken away and flown to an island and left. That should do it. Auction the homes and give the money to help fellow Americans. Done and Done.
... and risk getting progressive cooties? Nope.
Excellent point.
Agreed!
Right James. I propose we K.I.R.K as many of those in opposition to freedom of speech and the other tenets of our constitution as we can. The acronym stands for Kindness In Rhetoric is Key which one Charlie Kirk personified. Keep-Ing 'R Kool while we debate the issues with the Left is one of the most effective ways to open their eyes to the insanity they espouse. A lot of prayer before, during and after each encounter is just as important. I Peter 3:15 says "Always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks a reason for the hope that is in you," and Charlie did just that.
Nice idea in theory and Charlie was one of my greatest heroes. Problem is, you try to debate them and it’s like talking to a middle schooler. They have no logical arguments to return; they only respond with name calling, lies, nastiness and violence. And it seems to be getting worse.
Annnnd, they do not "ask a reason for the hope that is in you,". Be ready, be prepared to respond even though unlikely.
They are of Satan. You cannot open their eyes.
Some are, some aren't and since we can't tell straight up, we must engage them in love and let the Holy Spirit do the rest.
No, they all are part of Satan. They endorse what is abnormal, support chaos and criminals and partake in great immoral deeds. That is Satan. If you want to engage them in love have at it. Not me. I follow the below.
Proverbs 4:14-15 (ERV): "Don't take the path of the wicked; don't follow those who do evil. Stay away from that path; don't even go near it. Turn around and go another way".
I personally testify to surviving cult brainwashing and emerging into the light of day. I was utterly horrible in the 70s; a time of darkness that I see many parallels to in the present day.
The apostle Paul writes in the New Testament about women being saved by childbirth and that happened to me. (I Timothy 2:15)
I looked at that innocent baby and the full weight of responsibility hit me.
Of course, I was raised in a Bible believing church and knew the Truth before I was deceived. My falling away began in adolescence and I resisted God so I didn’t know that much. But I have to believe that the Truth can be learned by any who are willing. I had to relearn so much, but it was a precious and exciting adventure for which I wouldn’t trade anything.
I doubt you were depraved, evil and malevolent like the active demons on the Left are. Thankful you are back in the fold!
That is where I am at from this point forward. There is no arguing or winning with someone who is possessed. God is on the move and the evil spirits are screaming. We can hear them. It is good vs. evil, all out in the open now. As we march around their walls in silent prayer and a shout of victory at the end, God wins. And He does tell us to stay away from the wicked. No problem!
Did you hear about the Democratic Satanist display in the Minnesota Capitol Building gifted to Walz? Yup you heard that right. We are in an active and alive Spiritual battle and yes SadieJay, you can hear the evils screaming, ranting and raving. It is all so clear. Team God for me and mine.
You bring up an excellent point: we are seeing evil everywhere, seemingly getting worse by the day, because God is about to DO something. God does not react to Satan; it is the other way around.
That's a nice idea Patrick, if you can get any of them to listen. I've not seen them do anything besides attack, scream foulness and blow whistles, .... but as far as I am concerned, they killed and then celebrated the death of the one man willing to go all in on talking with people all around the country.
I hope everyone of those ICEout paid protesters gets busted eardrums from whistles and they each get a big dose of tear gas. If anyone can ID them they should do so, and they can at least be reported to the IRS if they don't report their payments for protests. Our poor federal officers being doxxed, families threatened and attacked. Those officers need large bonuses after they get the job done.
Smurfs are proving that indeed some people are just too stupid to live within society. Is there even a place large enough to hold them all if they are arrested once their protest turns not so peaceful?
I'm so tired of them all and I can turn off their idiocy; I can only imagine what the officers think about it. Idiots think bringing children to their stupid protests is a good idea as well, when they know the kind of violence they are willing to do and provoke, then want to whine & cry when their kids gets a face full of tear gas. They should stop being deliberately stupid and should be looked into for abuse of those kids.
Hm
One thing we know for sure: the immigration flows in one direction. This means that what was created by westerners, and preserved by borders, has value to those who did not and could not create it.
But somehow, it is a moral wrong for westerners themselves to value it?
Is it whites they are replacing or Christians?
Both
Exactly: get Ukrainians & Russians to kill each other.
Christian and white purge in one swoop 🤔
Or both?
Mayor Wu is an agent of the CCP. She is doing exactly what the CCP wants her to do and saying everything the CCP wants her to say. I don't understand why nothing is being done about that.
She needs to go. She viscerally makes me ill. She should be deported to china.
Nothing's been done because she was voted in!! They wanted her and her policies. May they enjoy for many years to come!
She wasn't lawfully elected. The elections are rigged.
Yes, the cast of characters you name above are definitely twisted. I would love to take a bulldozer and pick them up and dump them in a boat and set them out to sea away from the US. None of the above love America and I would not even call them American. Even if they were born here, they are not Americans and need to be elsewhere. They are nothing but ruination and malevolence.
Thanks James, remembering the earth tilts and spins as part of maintaining it balance is always useful. Discussing the analogy to ICE (where we Elected the President to do exactly what the President said he would do AND is doing)... I asked the left why they fight winter and the cold and ICE. Their dispute is with none of those, but with the tilt of the Earth, it has tilted away from them to restore balance, & it probably will tilt back. But their demands that the earth tilt for them are Icarus level hubris; a well deserved fall from grace.
Massachusetts is to the East Coast, what California is to the West coast. On so many levels.
Thank you! You said what most of us have been thinking about our illegitimate State Government. How else could these people have attained close to 100% control of a state that is ~40% Registered Democrats while ~40% of us have have 0% representation in Congress and >10% on Beacon Hill?
Thank you for this masterful summary of the phoney virtue signalers who have lost all sight of actual morality. I love your posts. Have you seen the report of Kentanji Brown at the Grammy Awards (her audiobook,”Lovely,” was nominated for an award) standing up and cheering on the anti-ICE speeches? Our entire belief in “content of character” rather than skin color is being perverted by identity politics.
Not to defend Boston or Massachusetts, but I personally enjoyed living, going to college, visiting the Jazz Workshop (and chatting with Pharoah Sanders after one of his sets!) as well as working there for several years!
It was also the place where I met and married my wife, the love of my life, so it will always have a special place in my heart 🥰 ... That was in early 1974. Just sayin'.
Still if we can, with God's grace, MAGA, and MAHA, why not pray for MBGA/MMGA as well?
I’ve lived here my whole life. The latest devastating thing Maura Healy has been doing is allowing utility companies to keep raising gas and electric delivery charges by up to 40%/year. I live in a 1800 sq. Ft. cape. My gas bill has gotten to almost 1500 dollars / month, and electric is over 400/month. I’m leaving like so many people are. I can’t afford to live here. 40 years of business down the drain.
When you find a door slightly ajar - and often rare - I wiggle in some truths. I explain that Marx was writing about pasty white people in modern type slavery conditions (meaning they were disposable) and that the notion of white was a tiny sliver in the 1800s. The Catholic Irish, Scilians, Eastern Europeans wouldn't have fit in the category. Finally, I joke that the Wu's of the world are colonizing white culture and isn't colonizing a bad thing? Personally, I am happy Asian Tiger moms insist kids learn classical music as live performances would go extinct without them. And Vivek optimizes being non-Christian while embracing our bible based nation (not my words but those of Ro Khanna.)
There are ways…Probably best not to see communication as a debate one must win. Maybe let them do most of the talking by asking why they believe as they do. See if they can verbalize the counter argument. Be willing to retreat if they get heated…
Here is some comfort: In communism, they come for their own first. So just keep the popcorn handy.
Thank you James for this reminder. All of us matter. Hid Bless us all
Annnnd, the voters of Mass, and Main voted them in!! I hope everyone there enjoys shoveling snow and garbage. Play foolish games...!
—“their spokesman bravely pivoted and said the Clintons “look forward to setting a precedent that applies to everyone.” Give me a break”
Maybe they shouldn’t have been quite so gleeful about all of the precedents they broke with regard to President Trump 😑
I am honestly not very excited about all this, I would be very surprised if they don’t just lie through their teeth during the whole thing, and/or use obfuscating language 😕
I would absolutely love for justice to be served to the Clintons. But I predict that they won't be able to recall anything. It worked well for Hillary before. Just simply say, "I don't recall" over and over and over again. Run out the clock. Justice will indeed be served some day in the future. But not in this lifetime. Not by mere mortals.
And afterall, "At this point, what difference does it make?" Besides, there was NO intent. I do believe Bill will use executive privilege to not answer and I wouldn't be surprised if the 5th is used by one or both. In any case, Congressional hearings anymore are dog n pony shows when in reality if lady justice was fair, indictments, arrests, or military tribunals should REALLY be what's happening. Afterall, the evidence is there.
‘what difference at this point does it make?’ -those words out of HiLiary’s mouth-pure evil
I completely agree with you. The only reason they have agreed to testify is because they have been assured they are home free.
Yes that’s my fear, too. I hope this ends up not being the case somehow.
Agreed. As they say, "I'll believe it when I see it". In other words, when Billary gets carted off in handcuffs
Running Logic - hopefully this time, Comer will be prepared to get the truth from and actually trap…(as Jeff so aptly described) ….”America’s most unsquashable political cockroaches…” 🤣
I would prefer my company with cockroaches than the clintons. they truly are both abhorrent.
Free in FL: I am hearing echos of DJT’s “you would be in jail” from the debate stage. If only…🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
"I don't recall..." "I don't recall..." "I don't recall..." "I don't recall..."
"I don't recall..." "I don't recall..." "I don't recall..." "I don't recall..."
I hope so too!
And you can bet “a precedent that applies to everyone” means applies to Trump after his term is up
Hahaha.
Just like the rodent Fauci.
Don't insult rodents as they have much more integrity than that POS demon fauci.
Wonder where Vegas would put the "over/under" on % of "cross" questions unanswered through invocation of the 5th? 100, 90, 75.
It will be boring as hell. They will probably sprinkle in some 'i don't remember's and 'not that I recall's.
Agree. They will suddenly have amnesia. Just like her responses to her email scandal and the Benghazi sh*t show!
Jeff did point out that Kill and Bill don’t know what the committee knows so leading the duo into perjury could be a nice game of cats and rats.
I am seeing the Bush funeral program ‘insert’ for the Select Dignitaries resurfacing.
I hope so, that would be gratifying!
hillary is a demon, a wretched bankrupt and morally depraved entity. She will lie lie lie and she will tell lapdog bill what to say. they deserve one another.
You know the Teflon pair will skate again. Why should we get excited over this when the elites in this country have been immune to consequences for decades!
100%. Congress talks big . But no one is ever held accountable for anything.
no doubt we'll find out that their memory is just not what it used to be while liberally invoking the 5th
Looks like they have the list of the majority of Congress that are compromised.
Easy questions please.
Agree. At least from some. But not from all.
They probably will lie. They have perfected it since serving in Arkansas, probably before that time. Let's just pray that they will be entangled in those lies and caught. Justice then can finally be served! God loves true justice!
I can see it now, "what is the definition of 'did,'"; "what is the definition of 'know,'"; "what is a 'woman,'"; "what is a 'man?'"
What is the over-under for how many times each will say "I don't recall?" What is the over-under on the cumulative "I don't recall" for both of them?
Break out the popcorn indeed.
All they need is to catch one good lie from each of them. And it will be recorded so those two weasels won't be able to get away with it unless both come in and say things like, "I don't recall" or "I don't understand the question."
I wish. Never going to happen. The Clintons are untouchable.
Their "lies" will be recorded on toilet paper...
Well the gov now has all the files so if they do lie then it’s perjury.
I hope so! It would be great if it ends up being a trap that they fall into, but they’re so slimy that they always seem to be able to slip out of any accountability 😕
"I do not recall"
Possibly, the Epstein files has some proof that they’re lying & can be used to throw them in prison.
If I wanted to paint a picture of the Democrat party to help their Adderall-riddled subjects fully understand their dear leaders, I'd drop a strategic though figurative nuke on each former president (from either side) if provable malfeasance can be shown. Let's dispense with the misconceptions and help them see things as they really are. MAGA 250!
About the Tesla/XAi merger…. What happened to our anti-trust laws in this country? I’m old enough to remember when Ma Bell was broken up because it was too big, but since then…nothing.
I think Elon has done some really great things but this merger seems like…a lot, and will make it impossible for others to compete in the marketplace. (I also feel this way about Amazon and have for years). Someone explain to me what I’m not understanding, please.
I just commented to about this. It raises my not so good feelers, and has me quite concerned. I’m not celebrating Elons ownership of the entire world. Too much power. We know what it does. 😔
I think we are either heading to a world where pedophiles and Satanists cannot hide and the world is filled with love, joy and faith...or a world where we are all enslaved with social credit scores and an inability to build wealth. I prefer to think the former as it gives me hope.
CHop, I've heard rumors that there is a Plan to effect exactly your "former" world. It has something to do with a Q.
Well that isn't what Elon and his tech bros have in mind for us - many of those people are close to centers of power like the WH.
This!!
I see...a man who has no fear of God and imagines himself to be as one and owns the keys to all human intellect in an electric box. He can even use any face front to mask and confuse the followers of anyone, The Pope, DJT, moving pictures of Jesus and Mary or Apostles, even bring statues to life and healings so that even if ppl wanted to die they could not for an evil purpose. These are the end times. Jesus Christ is our only way of salvation from the human nature of self seeking godship arrogance. Be willing to die. This is the way and is is good.
Jenna McCarthy substack today brought up some serious issues about Elon's Grok re: nasty sex stuff. Really bad sex stuff. I am worried about hearing this as I did not think Elon would partake in that filth. Here is the teaser:
If you thought Cyberworld reached peak chaos when Grok started acting like a randy teenage Photoshop addict, buckle up, buttercups. After last month’s viral undressing scandal—when users discovered Elon Musk’s AI assistant could strip real women *and children* down to AI-generated bikinis made of dental floss or less—Musk issued a classic Silicon Valley non-apology (“I didn’t even know it could do that [laughs in Canadian] but we’ll probably for sure look into it.”).
We know someone who partook of the basics of grok and had the ai calling him sexy names and having a “relationship” with it and he’s a married man. We were shocked he thought it was okay. 😔 We haven’t seen anything yet when it comes to addiction to porn or online porn, addiction to devices and computers etc etc. This AI is scary. Useful yes….worth it? NOPE!
I never use it or engage. I don't find it useful personally/professionally and not worth it to me. Scary it is absolutely.
Blame a machine for a person's choices?
I find that the "Health Ranger" has a very good AI
Bright.AI Perplexity is decent... but most all the rest are polluted by zionists.
Laughs in Canadian? Does he sound like a moose snorting?
Yes, even if Elon wouldn't abuse this power (?) Eventually one of his successors would.
If we break up any monopoly, it should be Blackrock, Vanguard and State Street. Especially Blackrock because it has systematically bought up a controlling interest in every major corporation and has been calling the shots on crap like DEI and chemtrails. There are now a limited number of conglomerates that own practically every food company which is why we are all served up processed crap across the board. It is a monopoly of the worst kind.
At least Elon is pro humanity and procreation.
Boom!
Boom 2.0 !
I’m sure you also remember too big to fail. Have those corporations been broken up into bite sized chunks which can be allowed to fail? Of course not and vertical mergers and takeovers have continued apace.
Excellent point!
well one thing those other car companies have is - better cars - the battle over ICE & EVs was fought in the early 20th century and for the same reasons today as then, ICE won - and will win again
ICE vs EVs: the actual ice from the recent winter storm did take out EVs. Those batteries drain quickly when the temps drop. Cue the tow trucks with diesel-powered chargers to get the EVs moving again. 🙄
If you like 'anti-EV' stories check out MGUY Australia YouTube channel 👍😁🇨🇦
This just reinforces to me that we are racing towards the End Times. One man with so much power, influence and money….what could go wrong? God is in control, not any man, even though some think they are. I’m praying that Jesus returns for “His church” soon.
I think anti-trust generally applies to owning a single market; Ma Bell owned most of US market. All of the SpaceX companies have competition (autos, Blue Origin, Blue Sky etc.) and combining these companies does not appear (to me) to overlap/suppress competition. Blue Origin can start/buy a car company, or rival to xAI etc.
Glad to see others are uncomfortable with what Elon Musk is busy doing. How is this not building a global monopoly?
Yes I was wondering about those monopoly type laws .. do they not apply anymore ?
Just because he turned twitter into Free Bird doesn't mean he owns the entire Lynyrd Skynrd catalog. Oh wait...
Suggest reading Jenna McCarthys post this morning concerning Elon and his Grok AI Porn problems . Made me sick
I read that. I don’t think it’s just XAi, though.
I’m sure it’s in all AI. Just like Elon is part and parcel of the last release of the Epstein file dumps.
Anti trust laws created by the monopolies to crush competition.
If anyone thinks the Clinton’s will remember anything about Epstein I have a bridge in NYC I will sell you. This is nothing but political theater and Bill will wipe the fools on the Republican side like the master bullshitter he is. Hilary will just play dumb because in the end she is. The Democrats will pretend that this is the worse thing ever done to an ex President and the Republicans have hit a new low. The Republicans just need to start working and passing legislation that actually matters. Taking away all rights of government unions to negotiate. Tying the hands of a Democrat lead Congress from massive spending increases. Making it a Federal crime to release violent criminals make into the public by stripping away immunity from the judges and prosecutors who do it. Give us the right to sue them. Making DOGE the most powerful agency ever. Giving it the ability to stop any spending when they find corruption like what’s happening in Minnesota and California. Tying any Federal funding of state and local law enforcement to complete compliance with the Federal Government to enforce immigration laws. Reforming the immigration laws so it’s easier not harder to come here legally. Etc etc etc.
I’m tempering my expectations. They’ve had weeks, months, years to confer with “counsel” to come up with a corrupt plan to avoid actually answering anything and not to get caught in questions trying to trap them. 😂. Slimy snakes like this don’t survive for decades without perfecting their lies, cheats, and safe havens with corrupt lawyers. They’re ready for this. I will gladly eat my words if this isn’t a nothing burger. IF anyone can hold them accountable - I’ll dance in the street!
We heard it here -- holding you to that!
Yep, they'll be hoping for One Big Fifth-Fest. The Clintons “look forward to setting a precedent that applies to everyone" -- that's just wishful thinking that in a couple years their Dem congress can safely do the same to our current President. Fortunately, they'll be in jail and JD will be in charge...
Should we count how many times killary says I’m not compelled to testify against my husband? Does that apply here since it’s under oath?
they must be made to finally fall.
Oh, they will; finally.
I agree and I am tempering my expectations too. I don't trust the Clintons one iota and I believe that they have a strategy. However, I believe the no time limit is interesting, so they could keep the Clintons under sworn deposition for awhile.
Hillary may be dumb but it's a dangerous sort of dumb that gets people killed. She's nothing to trifle with.
She is the devil’s daughter
Jezebel indeed.
worse.
Jezebel terrified the prophet Elijah, of Mount Carmel fame.
Virginia Guiffre said some interesting things about WJC & HRC on Epstein Island in her dead man’s switch, on Rumble.
Nah, Elijah had it all under control.
literally. she is a sick twist.
She is evil and anyone that’s gets in her way is terminated. We have seen that for years.
Hillary is not too dumb to know how to lie. Liar.
Jezebel... 🧐
They don't call him Slick Willie for nothin!
Monica would agree.
"Billary" has been sending out messages about her "Christian" response (see her letter admonishing Allie Beth Stuckey - "Toxic Empathy") - I'm sure the Clinton's next approach is how "Christian" they are - will a "new" definition replace the meaning of that title?! 🤔😒
For real?
That is dumb.
A real Christian admits and seeks to make amends and find forgiveness.
How many Americans actually know what a "Christian" is? I'd say 10% or less. Most church goers don't even seem to know. Furthermore, compared to America in say 1950, most "Americans" don't even know what that means. Can I get an Amen?
I've actually heard someone say, "Of course I'm a Christian - I am an American."
That's been an issue across time.
Give the disgusting duo truth serum and a polygraph and waterboard if needs must.
and no, do not make immigration laws easier to get here. we have enough for now.
This is political theater on both sides pushed by the media who are tiring of “Ice Out” already. Note that all of these big Ice Out riots are where it is cold and there is snow?
Well at least it will make for entertaining t.v. Being retired and having some time to browse what’s out there, I can’t believe the human race is that shallow and unimaginative.
What a great laundry list!!!
The hearings should be the perfect distraction. "Lock er up" said DT.
Side note-went to see Melania yesterday. Soooooo well done and interesting. Can we multiply maligned Melania (& DJT) by attending??
My husband and I saw “Melania” on Saturday. It was excellent! The theatre was packed and everyone applauded at the end. It’s so well done, interesting and just a great documentary. Thoroughly enjoyed it!
And AOL News was just full of articles proclaiming how awful it is….imagine that.
That’s how I knew it must be great!
It’s been a huge box office success already! The MSM will do anything to discourage people from going. Such liars!
Going to see Melania today
I thought it was only one day??
The ads were somewhat misleading “showing in theaters Friday only” but I think they meant theaters as opposed to streaming. It is in a lot of theaters at least through Thursday. Hopefully, it will be extended!
Going today. Our theatre is showing it for 4 days.
Brilliant.
Happy good morning C&Cs.
Dan Bongino’s podcast was great yesterday.
Thanks for mentioning it! Sometimes I lose track of all the good podcasts out there during the hubbub of momming littles and homeschooling 😅
You are doing what is important! (I did - X5 - for 26 years! Best investment in lives I ever made!) God BLESS and keep you! 🙏🏼 😀
X5 here also 😅🤪🤩thank you!
I have that on my list to listen to. Thanks
I haven’t listened since he came back on, I need to add him back to my list. Thanks for the heads up.
Yesterday was his first one and he had a surprise guest. DJT
Thanks for the heads up! I definitely will listen to it today.
Oh awesome! Will definitely listen today as it’s my day off and I have plenty of time. Thanks!
Me too! When the hell does PDJT sleep….???? ❤️🩷💙
Apparently never!! 😂
Oh man. I went for a walk and thought I’d listen to his podcast - I had to turn it off. So much language! I used to listen to him before he joined the admin and he didn’t use so much foul language then! I definitely couldn’t listen around my kids at all, but it makes me sad to hear someone I think has a lot to offer, have his voice and insights completely veiled by degenerate language. Words have power - cursing is called cursing for a reason 😥
Agree
How is that possible? Looks to me like he totally betrayed America first and as part of the Epstein cover-up.
What platform is he on now? Rumble?
Yes, Rumble 10 a.m.
Thank you
Eastern time, I believe.
Yes
11am Atlantic Time 😁🇨🇦 - I agree with the objection to the amount of expletives he is using! 😢
I think Bongino is a cockroach.
A stone LIAR and traitor. Like Blondi and Kash, Wiles and ratcliffe... etc...
JMHO
I feel like future generations will never know the real night sky. It will be an increasingly gaudy display of satellite “stars”.
The Bible says that God created the “lights in the firmament of heaven” for “signs” and seasons and days and years. (Gen 1:14)
What happens when we can’t see our stars or they are so diluted/obscured by satellites…
It feels sad that my kids and grandkids won’t experience an unpolluted night sky.
Current & future generations also no longer know the beauty of fluffy or billowy beautiful clouds in the day sky. Now, it is ugly, poisonous streaks instead of beautiful formations
Or real silence, or privacy , or talking to someone not wearing ear buds.or staring at their phone. . I thank God every day for living when I did.
“Or real silence, or privacy , or talking to someone not wearing ear buds.or staring at their phone..”
Or walking into stores, restaurants and doctor’s clinics without hearing jarring ‘music’ or the boob tube on …
At Walmart the other day, and the guy at the service desk caught my attention - because he was just standing there looking out at the customers. No phone in his hand and it actually looked odd to me! Then noticed another guy at the register doing the same - no phone just looking up at customers walking by. He did have to sneak a quick look at his phone. My guess is WalMart has told them no phones when on duty - great idea!!
Amen buddy!
There are billions of stars in our galaxy. Hopefully a few satellites won’t disrupt that. That’s my hope!
instead they'll be excited about seeing satellites whizzing by the night sky instead of real stars, sad indeed.
Actually that will just be normal, not exciting at all.
I miss pristine skies. I spent a lot of my life in the desert watching the stars, and I miss it.
I remember going out one evening al exited as a young kid to see Telstar go overhead. Still love the song by the Tornados.

I haven’t seen stars for the 20 years I’ve been a city dweller.
No countryside excursions? We live in a suburb…we could see the night sky when we first moved here over a decade ago but light pollution has increased since then and we are getting close to having to move farther out if we made this a priority…
Sometimes I’ve taken my young boys out on chilly winter nights, bundled with blankets and winter gear and we lie down on our trampoline to stare up at the stars. Even though we haven’t done it a lot, they talk about it all the time.
The memory of one cold, crystal clear, star drenched and sparkling night from my childhood will always be with me. It melted into my soul and I felt like the stars were singing with millions of sweet voices. I thought of a black velvet blanket on which countless diamonds had been spread.
I had just walked alone out of a country church service to wait for my parents and it was a deeply moving spiritual experience; seeing all those stars and knowing God has named them all.
You mean there's going to be future generations?
Well, I’m raising one set right now…I have friends who are welcoming their grandchildren…
But no one knows the day or time - “even so, Lord, come”!
The court reporter at the Billary testimony is going to get carpel tunnel having to type "I don't recall" repeatedly! "At this point, what difference does it make? "
That response will be "Auto-fil" 😬
You just know they are trying to get her tranquilizer dosed just right so she doesn't flip out. I hope they fail. And one of her favorite words is 'uh'.

Do you know the story of the Rainbow Bridge? Well in case you don't, here it is...
Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies - one that has been especially close to someone here - that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food and water, sunshine and cozy beds, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who have been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special, someone who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stoops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; his eager body quivers. Suddenly, he breaks from the group, flying over the green grass - his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain on your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet - so long gone but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross the Rainbow Bridge together.

And please know that home hospice for pets is available so they can be at home and not at a cold and stressful vet's office. Palliative care at home along with helping them make their sojourn Home to Heaven.
Thank you for posting this.
My son wrote a big check for a home last visit for our beloved ‘Indiana Jones’ dog, when at 15 he just couldn’t take care of me anymore. It was so comforting at such a difficult time.
Yes, the home hospice for pets are to be commended. The vet & assistant who came for my Spike was less cost than the vet hospital, and my boi did not have to be stressed & I was able to hold him the entire time. And it included cremation and a paw print keepsake.
TriTorch, thank You for posting this. I had a beautiful female yellow lab named Brandy. Of the three dogs we had Brandy was the one that lit up the house. She had such a big personality. I walked her and our male lab Colby twice a day. On walks I could let them off the leash and if there was a puddle she would look at me and I’d say no puddles, she would bolt through the puddle, the muddier the better. She knew I’d have to wash her and wipe her down, she loved that!
Brandy picked me, I was her human. She followed me whenever I was home and laid on my feet wherever I sat. I loved our 3 dogs but Brandy made me special.
At 14 she started getting me up about 1-2 AM and had to go out. I figured out she was throwing up. After many tests including a biopsy of her stomach we found out she had stomach cancer, I couldn’t believe it, she was so active and healthy. I started feeding her all different kinds of human food, steak, pork chops, chicken, shaved steak, etc.. Whenever she got sick from one food she would turn her nose up at it. I ended up giving her pancakes, syrup and breakfast sausages, this lasted a while but eventually she stopped eating that as well. Even keeping water down started being a problem. Brandy was my dog, my wife was mad at me for waiting though Brandy kept fighting, I had to put her to sleep. The last full day of her life I took her to the neighborhood school and played ball with her, she acted as though she was fine she was a warrior. The day finally came and my best friend was gone, I loved her! I prayed to God my older brother would take Brandy until I see them both again, a day I can honestly say I long for. To this day I still feel I let my best friend down.
You did not let her down; you made sure she had a good life and an easy transition. She sounds sort of like my Zip:

Regarding Presley and Ilhan Omar, somebody (!!) is funding their runs for office. Despite the intentions of our Founding Fathers, nobody can run a successful campaign for Congress nowadays without a lot of cash.
Refugees and broke people don't have lots of cash.
Who's putting them up to running.
Good morning my beautiful C&C people ❤️
Good morning!
Right back at you 🙏🏽
Exciting news on the SAVE act! Now if we could just stop states and cities from allowing non-citizens to vote.
I suspect SCOTUS will fix that when they end birthright citizenship before the midterms. Unfortunately, the SAVE act does NOT require a proof of citizenship if a person is already registered, only if they are newly registering or are changing something (i.e., re-registering).
It literally states several times within the body of the SAVE Act that the proposed measures will not take effect until 2027. So it doesn't matter if we rush it through, by its own wording it cannot and will not have any impact whatsoever on this years midterms.
"What does Hilary know? " With Frazzledrip under her belt, does anyone really believe she just sat around drinking pina coladas when there was seriously sick shit available for the asking? 5 will get you 10 that whatever Slick did pales in comparison to what she did.
My neighbor told me about frazzledrip and said never to watch it. She didn’t sleep for a week. She just cried. It grieves my soul that this woman/snake has been allowed to infest humanity for as long as she has. 😢
This is part of what I posted yesterday to my usual "forwards" cautioning them to understand where going down the Epstein rabbit hole will lead. I am omitting the other two examples I gave, our atrocities on the Germans after WWII, and what the Bolsheviks did to millions of Russian peasants. I copied Eliza Ayeres, editor of Sunnysjournal article saying she was not going there or writing about Epstein. As with your friend, Frazzledrip, and the tortures covered in those other two examples I gave, will forever haunt me.
"The third time I tried to avoid seeing another infamous sick torture was Frazzledrip, where Hillary Clinton and Huma Abadin tortured a young girl. Almost all the NYC cops who saw the video on Anthony Weiner's laptop (Huma's husband at the time) were suicided. Unfortunately, the scene popped up a few years later in a link on another article, and I saw enough to realize what it was before I closed the window.
I will not divulge any of these sick tortures, because all of them still haunt me, and you don't need that. All you need to know is these things not only happened, but they are still happening today. Done by people who are household names. Music , Hollywood, sports , media, finance. It is Not just politicians committing these atrocities.
This is what these 2 articles I linked are saying. Be careful before you decide to dive into the latest release of these Epstein files, because they contain similar truly sick things. You will never be able to unsee them , so keep that in mind from one who has seen far more than I wish I had. "
And that’s why I plan to heed my neighbors warning. I saw a couple pics off hunters laptop and decided I do not need those atrocities in my head. I will not look at any of them. I feel horrific for the ones who do have to look. It’s up to them to prosecute. I’m sorry for them and pray God protects their souls from what they have to endure. It’s evil in words we don’t have in the human language to describe. Pure evil in all its form. God is grieved beyond our understanding.
Smart.
A good friend who was reasonably awake went all the way when she went to the local Cracker Barrel ~6 years ago for lunch. Waiting in line and the man in front of him started talking to her. An older man, an army colonel . Out of the blue, he started talking to her about leading men into the DUMB's to rescue children. The horrors they had seen , and had to live with. He asked her to please tell others what is really going on, and the price people like he and his men were paying.
That was her IT moment for "holy crap. All the stuff rolandttg has been sending me is real".
Wow! That’s the first time I’ve heard of someone actually talking to someone who was part of the rescuing!!! It’s never been actually verified that it was happening. Wow. Just wow.
Just truly beyond believable. But I’m telling you, the world is waking up. I heard some clips of the Grammys, which seriously is exposing it and I will not be watching the Super Bowl halftime show. I am actually praying that God will remove it. Change it something because I believe it’s going to … I don’t even know, but capital E Evile!
All the well dressed puppets who showed up to the Grammy show and mindlessly repeated their seven word mantra.
“No one is illegal on stolen land.”
I’m sure they could tell us where some missing children wound up.
Same goes for the "consumption" of babies. Just hearing about it will give one nightmares. Our spirits were not created to tolerate such obscene horrors without damage.

Where are the links Roland?
I did not include them, or the rest of my examples. Here are the links.

thanks.
When I was told some things I couldn’t stop crying for months. My parents were so worried about me. I never thought things would be OK ever again. I started praying that God would protect my eyes and my ears from hearing anything I could not handle. I need to start that prayer up again. 😭
Warning to normal people who don't know: be forewarned, Frazzledrip is a very dark conspiracy--let me correct that to "rabbit hole"-- that those who are sensitive might want to avoid researching.
But I take exception with "Conspiracy". Almost all of the NYC cops who saw the video have been suicided.
Thank you for the warning. I consider myself thick skinned when it comes to worldly matters, but the truly dark matters are too much for me.
If that truly happened, God will set his vengeance upon her and the other demon. And it will be a horror for the both of them.
People scoff at me when I tell them that the US is the largest "consumer" of child trafficking on the planet. For anyone with a passing familiarity with the Prophets in the Old and New Testaments, we should understand that God holds entire nations responsible for allowing such grievous corruption and America is long overdue for such Judgement. God's people should understand that hard times are coming.
They are already here Phil but will get worse. That is why we must all be Team God and stay in the Light.
God doesn't seem to mind Israel's genocide much... no?
The genocide in Gaza is a sadness. Watched Tucker's interview with Young Turks Cenk Uygur and that was an eye opener. 2 hours but well worth it. As for God allowing all this, free will but if there is another reason, you will have to ask Him.
You really need to read Biglino's "The Naked Bible"
All the Christians here do. Don't let fear keep you from simple truths. It really is outstanding work.
https://www.docdroid.net/uorYc6a/the-naked-bible-pdf#page=5
I have not been affiliated with a religion since I was 13. Spent a good deal of my life as and agnostic / atheist . We are both very spiritual now, and have been for a decade of more. Practice gratitude every day. We both read "The Naked Bible". It was a real eye opener.
Good to hear. Yes, a BIG eye-opener...
I wish more pompous "christians" here would read it... Tammy Faye Janice and her like... likely pretty good people... but, IMO, deluded and astray.
Yes, rejecting corrupted mythologies (religions) does not mean one can't be spiritual...
Just read the Virginia Guiffre kill switch. It’s on Rumble. HRC was the worst.
Slick is a bad man but personable. HRC is the devil incarnate.
WJC is a serial rapist. HRC infinitely worse.
Ahab & Jezebel.
Per Shakespeare in Hamlet “ The devil hath power/ to assume a pleasing shape.”
No daylight between Bill and Hillary.
Hope Hillary keeps her promise to take most of Washington down with her
RATS will turn on each other to get plea deals. Can't wait.
From your lips to god’s ear
I'm here for it
The Clintons have been under oath many times before, the phrase is meaningless to them. As you mentioned, the best hope is that they will commit perjury and receive an appropriate sentence, which in their case would be life.
I hope they get struck with lightning when they put their hand on the Bible
