Cambodia and Thailand trade blows over occult temple; hard-hatted Trump gets Jerome Powell right where he wants him; RussiaGate speculations; the president signs a major anti-homeless-camping order.
Do not be wise in your own mind. Never paying back evil for evil to anyone, respecting what is good in the sight of all men, if possible, so far as it depends on you, being at peace with all men, never taking your own revenge, beloved—instead leave room for the wrath of God. For it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord. “But if your enemy is hungry, feed him, and if he is thirsty, give him a drink; for in so doing you will heap burning coals on his head.” Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
That's my continual prayer for 47 - that he is undertaking the massive, positive steps to aright our Constitutional Republic because it NEEDS DONE and not for any vengeful feelings he may have 'accumulated' between 2020 and 2024 because of the vicious attacks from the DEMONrats and their 'lawfare lambasts"!!
"16 Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits. 17 Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men. 18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men. 19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. 20 Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. 21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good."
Still waiting. Promises made, promises kept, most especially when concerning our president. The degree of personal integrity of elected officials directly impacts my voting choices. Trust and truth are fundamental values that support our republic when well founded, and seriously undermine it when absent. I/we need to know which we have.
Good morning Janice, your verse today is a good one and I would like to throw a couple of my pennies out there.
“For it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord.”
I would like to replay my reply to an earlier C&C post: “For the sake of those of us who believe in God, I would like to say that maybe we shouldn’t be so concerned about consequences in this life for these evil people, but more, I’m thinking, we should be satisfied that what was whispered in secret is shouted from the Internet, and what was done in the dark is brought into the LIGHT.
…God can handle the rest of it.”
“But if your enemy is hungry, feed him, and if he is thirsty, give him a drink;…”
In the latter part of the month of September back in 2001, I witnessed televised network news interviews with five of the leading Christian televangelists in America, every one of whom was fully in favor of bombing their enemy instead of feeding them or giving them something to drink, apparently believing that was a fulfillment of this part of the verse; “for in so doing you will heap burning coals on his head.”
Actually, ‘heaping burning coals on his head’, was not a reference to dropping bombs on your enemy, but instead to the ancient custom of sharing your household fire with someone whose fire had gone out. They carried the coals in a pan on their head, so when you heaped those coals on his head, you were actually helping him get his fire started, which was a favor. A favor which perhaps equates to sharing the gospel with someone that lacks that fire.
We need to also be careful and WISE when we ‘feed our enemies’.
The Kibutzim that shared the border with the Palestinians became ‘friends’ with the very people who murdered them in their sleep. They invited these demons into their homes and broke bread with them.
They took note of where they slept, which ones had dogs, they shot the dogs immediately and killed many of the children first.
Some of the Gazan families came in and took hostage and/or murdered some of the very families who ‘thought’ these Gazans were their friends.
But then, the kibbutzim families were the very ones pushing for the Government to divide the Land, which GOD expressly ordered them NOT to do.
Discernment is the order of the day.
We need to remember Yeshua also told his disciples that while he was gone, they were to carry swords.
You are correct CStone. I believe the music concert was also geared towards 'peace', and became a death trap.
I will never think less of the massacre, a real genocide, and the evil that occurred that day, by the misguided intent of kibbutzim residents and the concert participants.
The spiritual battle became crystal clear that day. Many of the heinous actions that were carried out in those hours were done by 'civilians' with permission of uniformed Hamas fighters. Pure drug fueled hatred that defies any earthly explanation.
You do realize that this "surprise" attack happened on the most militarized border on the planet, right? It was allowed to happen so Israel could carry out their genocide.
Yes, so many of these commands were for Christians with Christians (Jews with Jews before Christ came) who shared the same values. Many see kindness as weakness, an invitation to harm. So while kindness is our mode of operation, discernment has to be our guide. King David, a man after God’s own heart, waged war on his enemies practically his entire reign in order to protect Israel.
right, be kind, be forgiving, but be careful who you are kind and forgiving to. Some take kindness for weaknesses and will kill you after they've taken everything from you. Some regard people who aren't of their tribe as goyim and infidels and have nothing but hate for them.
This is more of a question or concern. At some point it seems to me that dropping bombs on someone's head is accountability and not vengeance. Governments are supposed to protect their citizens just like we are required to protect our families.
It was American and European christian government leaders that decided to bomb good and gentle people in Afghanistan and Iraq, resulting in millions upon millions of angry people crossing borders with a chip on their shoulders as they left their bombed out homes on the way to the homes of good and gentle people in other countries.
The mistake that many christians make is thinking that their country is the only country that is justified in wreaking vengeance upon their enemies. As you and I and others, even on this post, proclaim absolute defense of our homes and families, we neglect to consider the fact that there are many previously good and gentle men in Iraq and Afghanistan, who have seen their families devastated by American and European bombs, that feel the same way, which is why I referred to a chip on their shoulders.
… so maybe bombing them wasn’t such a good idea after all
I’m referring to the good and gentle people of Afghanistan and Iraq that didn’t have a damn thing to do with what happened in New York that day. They, like all of us, were just going about their own business, taking care of business and doing their jobs; construction work, driving trucks, baking bread, fixing food, etc., the same as us. Bombing those people was simply wrong and now good and gentle people in America and Europe are paying the price for the mistakes that our leaders have made.
essenbe, the truth that is coming out is that 9/11 was an inside job. Our government did it. Maybe the Muslems are culpable for participating, but our government drew them in. It wasn't the Muslems plan. Shocking I know. But the facts are there.
Yes John, most of the public still accepts the lies that we were told about what happened that day. The enemy was our own government, the deep state, the intel complex, here and abroad.
Is that opposed to the good and gentle Americans who were killed as they went on vacations, went to work or took care of business? I'm more concerned about the innocent Americans who were killed.
And no, I don't believe it was an "inside job", I've seen no facts that support that just speculation and 'could have been's'
Here's just one little clue. Isn't it interesting that our govt was able to find among all the wreckage, the undamaged passports of the specific alleged terrorists right on top of the mess? Right there alone, it should make you think something stinks. 9/11 ushered in the surveillance state we now have with the Patriot Act removing much of the Constitution as law. It allowed the Afghan forever war, it allowed the reshaping of the Middle East with the invasion of Iraq (again).
And the Oct 7 event in Israel allowed that gov't to carry out it's current genocide.
You can pretend not to see if it makes you more comfortable.
I too, care about innocent Americans being killed. Which is why I mentioned how the good and gentle people in America and Europe are paying the price for the deadly decision to bomb those two countries and the people in them, countries that hadn’t done a damn thing to us. Your thinking that Iraq or Afghanistan had anything to do with the twin towers in New York is totally without basis in fact, completely without evidence, and we all should know Iraq was based on a lie. That is not speculation. American government leaders conspired with leaders of European countries, for example, Britain and Germany, to bomb two countries that had not done anything to any of us. And as a result of that conspiracy, people in Europe and in America are going to suffer the consequences. That is not speculation. It is not ‘could have been’, it is ‘gonna be and now is’. It is happening today on the streets in America and Europe. Murder and rape and kidnapping and torturing little children to death is being done to American and European christians today, by muslim migrants who are doing it as a consequence of us dropping bombs on Iraq and Afghanistan. That’s what I’m saying and there ain’t no denying.
Very few christians are aware of the law concerning the ‘avenger’ (redeemer) of blood, where it was required by God that if any man killed someone, on purpose, that someone’s male blood relative was required to kill the killer, in order to redeem the life that was lost. That’s the chip that these muslim men carry on their shoulders into our previously peaceful countries, and we’re talking about men that cut other men’s heads off in the middle of the town square. For show.
Men that prefer to kill with knives because it’s more personal. And some of these previously good and gentle muslim men have watched their wives and children burn to a grotesque death because of the phosphorus bombs that ‘we’ dropped through their roofs while they were sleeping. And ‘we’ here in America slough it off as though it was righteous and justified. I’m calling bullshit.
“Although they know God's judgment that those who do such things deserve to die, they not only do these things but also approve of others who do them.” Rom1:32
There are comments on this post today by men who say they will kill to protect their families. I am one of them. What could possibly make us think that some of these muslim men are any different when it comes to their families? (It is actually lack of thinking that makes us think that, just saying.) I’m saying that America and Europe killed the families of muslim men that believe that they’re required by their god to kill ‘us’ back. Life for life. Think about that.
By us, I mean any of us, including you and me, essenbe. And what I’m trying to say here is simply that you and I, well I don’t know about you, but I know I, and many ‘innocent’ Americans and Europeans don’t deserve to have a muslim man fulfill that requirement by taking any of our lives. I didn’t want anything to do with bombing Iraq or Afghanistan. I don’t know about you, but that’s the point I’m trying to make here. There are millions of people in Iraq and Afghanistan that didn’t want to have anything to do with fighting a war with America. They did not attack us, contrary to your misconception of what happened in New York. It is common, and easily available, information that proves those two countries had nothing to do with that day, ‘though it requires that one is able to ‘see’ in spite of all of the smoke and mirrors.
A wise man once said, “if you want to know why someone (gov’t leaders) did something, just look at the outcomes.”
One of the outcomes of ‘us’ bombing them is that there are now untold tens of millions of people that have been driven from their homes into other countries because the homes were bombed. We now have millions of angry men roaming our streets, when, before we bombed them, they roamed their own streets. Maybe that outcome was what the leaders wanted.
Regardless, we have learned that there are consequences for our actions. We are living, and dying, in the consequence of us dropping bombs on our enemy. And it’s not good.
America generally tries to target military positions. Muslim military targets civilians. The good and gentle Muslims allowed their military to camp in schools and hospitals and residential areas. If you watched any of the programs on fighting in Afghanistan, you would have seen our soldiers tracking a Muslim target, calling back to some office in D. C. to get permission to shoot when he was identified and being denied that permission because a possible civilian was in the vicinity.
What you say is true Donna, however, we’re discussing the idea that bombing these people was a horrible mistake. The things that you point out actually bolster that argument by pointing out that bombing them was a logistical nightmare that America would have done well to avoid. Your use of the words ‘generally tries’ implies that America does hit targets other than military positions, which is true. There have been reports of large numbers of innocent muslim civilians that have died due to the bombs that American and European gov’t leaders chose to drop upon these two countries.
Hence, the American military‘s use of the words ‘collateral damage’.
Your statement that “Muslim military targets civilians” gives us a good reason to consider the wisdom of dropping bombs on people that we know are gonna kill innocent American and European civilians in return. I’m saying that it was not a good idea to drop these bombs in the first place, you’re talking about the problems that existed after we started bombing them.
… problems that would not have existed if we had obeyed God
I had a similar situation in L.A., part of what prompted my move to Idaho after 68 years in California. We were installing a new garage door. Our property was alongside an alley way, (which had been a safe place for 30+ years). My family was in the back yard having a birthday party with many neighbor kids included, when a severely deranged larger man and his "woman" barged into my yard terrifying everyone. they were unspeakably filthy and very loud and threatening. After several of the "MEN" tried to wrangle these two and getting hurt in the process. I decided that I wasn't going to pray for them, feed them or offer housing. All of the children were now safely inside my home and out of sight when I appeared with my "unapproved" California 9mm pistol. When these two saw their immediate future staring them in the face, their fear mongering and threatening disappeared and so did they, never to return.
Just to quantify: I am a born again Christian my entire life (73yrs). I along with my family, do not fear the defensive use of firearms.
1 Timothy 5:8:
"But if anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially for members of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever." This verse emphasizes the responsibility to care for and provide for one's family.
Excellent! I find it appalling when people who likely have never faced evil in their lives try to use scripture to advise those of us who have, to be loving & supportive, & passively accept the decaying status quo to allow God to handle evil. Weak-kneed Christianity is a path to obliteration of otherwise good & gentle people. As for me, we do not welcome illegal alien invaders or psychotic lunatics into our household, city or State. My first & foremost duty is to my family not the imported street vermin whose primary purpose seems to be to justify billion$ of ineffective "aid" & pad vote totals for urban Leftist politicians. We escaped the dying city of Seattle back in 2021 for reasons explained in the documentary at this link: https://youtu.be/bpAi70WWBlw?si=dshuf5a9dGreLgTr
It was my first thought applying that verse to that guy's situation. It really depends on the situation and as a Jesus follower, I trust the Holy Spirit's discernment.
In your situation, my twisted funny (not real funny at the time) thought would be every adult pulls out a gun, prays for their soul and asks them politely to leave or they will be meeting their maker... but sucks to be in CA.
I live in Florida and if I fear my life is in danger, we can shoot.
I was born and raised in SOCAL. Lived under a lot of governors Newsome is by far the slimiest most destructive of all. I'll tell ya as tough as it is not be able to surf here in Idaho...Im glad to be in a red, constitutional carry, graffiti free state, where even the little kids wave at you when you go by!
I read your account and William's account - both of you relocated from quite liberal/permissive locations to conservative states. From what I can see, each of you had a breaking point that caused you to leave the permissive locale. Before you left, did you generally agree with the policies that resulted in the disaster that caused you to leave and therefore it was acceptable until it came through your front door? (My husband's zone of attention is focused on the front door and what comes through it - ok, technically, the front yard and I try to "shame" him by saying he doesn't care until it comes through his front door. :)) Or did you tolerate them because, in your case, it sounds like you wanted to surf which you obviously can't do where you are now? Or something else? I am interested in the psychology of humans when they end up like the frog in the proverbial boiling pot of water. Lastly, in your new location are you vigilant for cues that it's going in the same direction as Ca? I've lived in 11 states and many large cities in those states but it was before cities devolved to medieval dumps.
Great Question.. I lived in the San Fernando Valley. For a point of reference we were 1.5 miles from the epicenter of the Northridge 6.9 quake on '94. I raised 5 kids there and yes I was a vigilant watcher on the wall. I agree with your husband but my permitter was much larger. The problem of urban squall is it is like the hands of a clock. You look up and...Crap! Everyone saw it several of us fought against it by organizing, getting elected etc. There are more that are asleep. or believe that it will mysteriously get better? But there does come a time when it's too hot and we jumped out of the pot. I moved to a suburb just outside of Boise. It's wonderful for the last 5 years. But the influence of a liberal mayor of Boise and Boise State College is starting to creep. The locals are having none of it and are fighting back. Our local retired L.A. cop and restaurant and barkeeper just developed a Hetero awesomness 3 day event on the lawn of the state capital, in Boise, on the same start day of pride month!! It was Awesome!
Dawn, I think of this issue every time I see a homeless and/or pitiful person downtown or beside the road. My heart goes out to them, but I don't know what my role is. That said, some years ago a friend's son was in the hospital near me. The Lord led me to bring two sandwiches for him. On the way there, a man was on a corner where many times people are panhandling and I felt compelled to give him one of the sandwiches, so I did. This dilemma feels like a tight-rope walk between ministering and staying "safe." But then I wonder if we are supposed to strive to be safe. Or if even being concerned about that shows a lack of faith in God's ability to lead and protect. Just throwing some thoughts out there . . .
I feel pity for them too and in most cases they were abused and or negleted as children that had a terrible mental and or demonic impact on their life so when I feel led, I do something but not every single time and not when they are erratic on drugs.
I was led without fear to sit on a park bench next to a lady not long ago. She was clearly talking to a spirit in the middle of our conversation. She said it was god but it wasn't. It was a demon. It spoke to it when she changed her voice. I called it a liar and to leave her in the name of Jesus. She snapped out of it and told me she can't talk to me anymore. There is more but that was a short version.
Love this but not willing or capable of feeding or loving the likes of fauci or gates and their ilk. Maybe someday but not now. I love God but He takes too long.
Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; fret not yourself over the one who prospers in his way, over the man who carries out evil devices! Refrain from anger, and forsake wrath! Fret not yourself; it tends only to evil. For the evildoers shall be cut off, but those who wait for the Lord shall inherit the land.
I will be old and gray and needing dentures by the time that happens. Patience is a virtue but that too can be overdone. I do trust Him but He takes too long. He has eternity, I only have so long on this planet and the sobs need to be punished now, it has already been 5 years for petes sake.
And President Trump has only been in office 6 months. You cannot turn a large ship on a dime, it would capsize.
Read Deuteronomy 28. All of it. There are blessings and curses in it, but both the blessings and the curses are promises, and we get to choose whether we are blessed or cursed.
One is, if you obey, you will be the lender and not the borrower….
And then, but if you do NOT obey, you will be the borrower and NOT the lender.
We have violated EVERY SINGLE INSTRUCTION He gave. And we are under judgement right now.
He has given us a small window of opportunity to repent, and if we do not, as individuals AND as a nation repent, then we will continue to be under judgement.
“GOD is NOT mocked. What a person sows, that will they also reap.” And man-oh-man, are we reaping.
Lori, if you really are a Christian, you need to repent of your attitude. How dare you question God’s perfect timing? You are elevating your puny human mind to the level of God. Consider this one of many scriptures which speak of God’s perfection :
“ I will proclaim the name of the Lord; how glorious is our God! He is the Rock; His deeds are perfect. Everything He does is just and fair. He is a faithful God Who does no wrong; how just and upright He is!” Deuteronomy 32:3-4, NLT
I can’t blame God for taking too long when the Church allowed it. We required our employees to take the vaxx and didn’t even stand up to closing our churches for 2 years (while allowing casinos and liquor stores to remain open) when the Bible expressly tells us not to forsake gathering together. “Let go and let God,” means let go of being in control, not of being obedient.
It was rather Biden-esk. Pulling back the curtain to find a hunched old man muttering something like a corrected child, and very little to say of any importance. Please President Trump, get rid of the Fed and IRS. 😉
I have to present an alternative picture of the Fed to the one presented by our esteemed host. Not sure which is accurate, but here are some facts and theories.
It does not appear accurate to say that Powell held rates down through the Obiden presidency and then raised them on Trump. Quite the opposite appears to be true.
According to my AI, Powell raised rates from .33% to 5.33% between 2022 and 2023, as soon as he got out from under Covid and right in the middle of the Biden presidency. Then he eased down a point between September and December 2024, just as Trump was taking control.
The Fed is a problem, for sure, but in practical terms, it has been raising the cost of off-shore dollars and bringing them back home to be retired. Meanwhile, the near zero-interest money that Ubu ushered in, which was then used by foreign actors (e.g. Soros) to start revolutions, pay off politicians, and pull shenanigans like BLM has become much less available and more costly. (Probably one reason why recent agitprop events like "No Kings" have been so small and unimpressive. It takes lots of money to stage those things.)
There is a theory that Powell and Trump are working together but that they must seem to be adversaries to maintain the appearance of an independent Fed.
A healthy amount of skepticism is certainly warranted these days, but I think we can rely on what AI says after it looks all over the internet for Fed funds rates during the last 5 years.
you are way better off at least balancing your AI with Catherine Austin Fitts who has quite a lot of informed comment on the Fed, treasury and the wholesale theft of American Treasure
The AI is right in this case. Rates went up during Biden's admin. Mid 2022, in full swing by 2023. The level leveled a bit but not come back down to previous levels. Nor should they. Money shouldn't be that cheap to borrow.
Tom Luongo supports your theory and insists that Jerome Powell is a good guy. Luongo says that Powell is trying to get rid of the Euro-Dollars that really don't help the US at all.
I also happen to think that very low interest rates are bad. They only encourage investments in worthless things because the money is nearly "free".
Carolyn is referring to "The Creature From Jekyll Island. The establishment of the Federal Reserve was an evil plot by evil bankers. It's an eye opener.
TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU!! I watched how interest rates rose during the Biden years, starting in 2022. It was a great time to invest in US Treasuries! And, yes, been listening to Tom Luongo (who reads C&C) for the past 5 years. I am watching the Trump/Powell "TV show" with some chuckling and wondering if they are in some kind of cahoots. Wouldn't be surprised.
I’m not arguing the numbers, but this statement jumped out at me: “Then he eased down a point between September and December 2024, just as Trump was taking control.”
President Trump was not taking control during that time frame. He was inaugurated on January 21. He may have hit the ground running, but he had zero control of the federal government at that time.
Those months straddle the first quarter of our federal government fiscal year 2025 (10/-12/31). In fact I wonder at the trick employed to use the month of September in the description, which I assume was generated by an AI tool.
Anyway, that first fiscal quarter would be the “Biden” administration crucial last full quarter in office, and TPTB likely hoped lowering interest rates in any amount would juice overall economic numbers, even a tiny bit. (Given the significantly corrected numbers around employment and GDP, I can’t see how it would have made a difference, but that question is well above my pay grade.)
Could you not build an entire building in the millions? Trump tower is estimated to be worth a paltry $450 million today. And 7 years into the Reno??? A lot of people are getting paid way too much with our money. We should ask for an itemized bill. I bet there are a lot of “consultants” involved.
Don't feel sorry for jerome using OUR money for marble everything and luxury private bathrooms. His crap is no better than ours so he can wipe his a** like the rest of us in a normal bathroom. another POS using our tax money for BS.
This custom goes back years. A certain Senate Office Building that shall remain nameless had all of its two-stall public restrooms remodeled in the late 1990s with floor to ceiling marble slabs at a rumored cost of $250,000 each. Lovely.
TV gold is Steve Bannon recent interview (released yesterday) by PBS Frontline. Steve talks extensively about the brick by brick dismantling of the administrative state by 47, which is just getting warmed up. Redirecting $ away from the ‘too much empathy’ homelessness complex is one Exhibit among many of what is historically happening around us.
I just spent over an hour watching that in the middle of reading comments. . . and it was worth it.
Bannon's virtual one way narrative, actually fully allowed by his PBS questioner, shows the game plan has been serious for years to take the presidency back and lay down the rule of law.
Fantastic "speech" with perfect use of F bombs in strategic places.
I watched it last night and could not peel my eyes away. Steve Bannon is the godfather of MAGA for a reason. What a stone-cold ally we have. I've been wanting an administrative state dismantling back to Tea Party days. And now we're getting first taste of it. It's gonna take successive MAGA POTUS' to really win this war. And there is a need IMO to legislatively 'salt the earth' behind some of the agencies being defunded. Without this, the head of this hydra can rise again.
I second your ‘Holy Crap’. I don’t watch Warroom because I find the interrupting discourse irritating but I may have to get over that. Bannon is a force.
I thought the best part of interview was when Bannon riffed about the 32 year old Chicago guy in 2 bedroom apartment, a small Tv w/ multiple jobs to make ends meet - is actually funding the government that is resulting in his own misery.
So true. All of it. I wonder if his time in jail solidified his resolve to dismantle the DS or if he was always this focused. Regardless, I am glad he is on our side.
8% started a long time before Trump got in office. I know because a friend who worked for a mortgage lending co. lost her job and mentioned how awful it was that the rates had gone up so much, that was 3 years ago or so.
Probably! I wouldn't know. I'm a permanent renter. I am fairly oblivious about the housing market. I just saw a lot of people lose their life's savings in 2008. Never been interested since. What a scam.
Jeff is 100% wrong on interest rates. Fed funds rate went up from 0.25% to 5.5% from Feb 2022 to Jul 2023. Then from 5.5% to 4.5% from Jul 2024 to Dec 2024. We need lower interest rates but that’s because we spend trillions of $ too much money every year so we have to pay interest at current rates. When I was a senior in high school interest rates were 16.64%. Current 6-7% mortgage rates are nowhere near high historically. We have a govt spending problem not an interest rate problem.
Is it just me, but when I look at the photo of the Hindu temple, the Fed construction project comes to mind; maybe it’s because of what appears to be two buildings. I can imagine the high priest, and head priest of the temple, walking around the site, 1,500 years ago, having pretty much the same conversation . . . and then, as now, the head priest of the temple was in trouble.
You set up an interesting metaphor. That Hindu Priest of a Divided Site came before Cambodia and Thailand bombed what they fight over. “Shiva, God of Destruction” is an alias for Satan, “the angel of the Abyss, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon and in Greek is Apollyon, the Destroyer” (Revelation 9:11). Reminds me of Solomon’s test of true love: “Shall we split the baby?” The childish and fatal choice is, “Yes, if I can’t have it, neither can you.”
Stretching the metaphor . . . When we don’t live up to our founding principle, one nation under God, we preside over our own destruction. Way back in 1 Kings 18:21, Elijah boiled it down. “How long will you waver between two opinions? If the Lord is God, follow him. But if Baal is God, follow him.”
Apparently, “Baal” means something like “owner or possessor.” Chilling notion.
The two gods that Jeroboam put up in Israel for the people to worship were golden bulls
Baal (bull) worship was taught by the church leaders of Israel as religious truth. It wasn’t. It was just the false teachings of men. (not biblical truth)
Elijah tried to stop the worship of Baal, the son of El (the son of God).
Elijah is type of the bride (Elisha-144,000 invited guests?)
Cult strengthened again after Elijah.
(Seems like Elisha didn’t do a very good job.)
Was finally crushed by Jehu. (Jehovah is he)
God did not want them to worship the son of god.
“You shall be in charge of my house, and all my people are to obey your commands. Only with regard to the throne will I be greater than you.” (Gen41:40)
… this explains why Jesus said “God is greater than I”
Nicely fleshed out. Child sacrifice to Baal must be the ultimate insult to our Creator and “Redeemer who formed you in the womb” (Isaiah 44:24). It puts abortion in the proper light of a kidnap/murder. The vile irony of Satan calling himself a husband to whom Jesus claims as His bride. God designed a husband to create and protect life, not put children to horrific deaths.
Good point about Jesus saying “God is greater than I.” It magnifies His sacrifice of not only crucifixion but giving up His seat in heaven to live in this filthy world. Then He returned to heaven and said, “I will ask the Father, and He will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever— the Spirit of truth… He lives with you and will be in you” (John 14:16-17). I picture Jesus returning to heaven where He and the Holy Spirit high-five, and the Holy Spirit says, “OK, I’m going in to close out the game.” What kind of love is this? It’s another Holy sacrifice to protect and empower us on this corrupt earth.
“Or do you think Scripture says without reason that He jealously longs for the Spirit He has caused to dwell in us?” (James 4:5). He longs to bring His Spirit home, and the Spirit will take us too. I can hardly wait for the Holy Spirit to say about His role, “It is finished.”
Thanks for the compliment, Reasonable Horses. (Are there 4 horses?) I really like the things that you said here, and would like to discuss some of them with you.
It’s not only an insult to God, but one of the few things that he calls an abomination. The book says that we sacrifice our children to demons. These demons inhabit the bodies of those people that are torturing and terrifying the children, draining and drinking their blood, harvesting their organs, killing them, and ultimately cooking and eating them. Man (or horses) talk about an abomination. Jesus said it would be better for them that a millstone be tied around their neck and they be cast into the deep than what is ultimately gonna happen to them when they stand in front of him and receive their eternal judgement.
And now on the subject of spirits. Jesus said “I will ask the Father, and He will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever— the spirit of truth… He lives with you and will be in you”
This is what God said previously; “And I will give them one heart, and I will put a NEW SPIRIT within them; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them an heart of flesh” Ezek11:19
And again; “I will give you a new heart and put a NEW SPIRIT within you; I will remove your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. / And I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes and to carefully observe My ordinances.” Ezek36:26,27
Hebrews chapter 12 refers to God as the father of spirits, plural spirits. So what if the ‘spirit of truth’ that Jesus is referring to is not the third person of the Trinity God, but is in fact, a new spirit that is born of God, in fulfillment of the statement that Jesus made to Nicodemus, that we must be born from above in order to enter the kingdom. I’m thinking he was referring to the new spirit, born of God, that would be placed within us. A new spirit that is holy because it was born of God. A new spirit, a baby spirit that must be nourished by us and formed within us with God’s help, until it’s eating meat and not just drinking milk. That might be referenced in Hebrews chapter 6.
That might explain this quote in your response; “Do you think Scripture says without reason that He jealously longs for the spirit He has caused to dwell (birthed) in us?”
“Abomination” and none of your sick embellishment appear in Matthew 18:6. Jesus welcomed children and said to the crowd, “If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in Me—to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.”
Scripture speaks of both created spirits—angels and demons—and the Holy Spirit of the Trinity. John 14 and James 4 unambiguously use the singular form. “The Spirit of truth… He lives with you and will be in you” and “He jealously longs for the Spirit He has caused to dwell in us.”
Your notion of baby spirits is occultic and has no basis in scripture. 2 Timothy 2:15 says, “Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.”
I don't understand why we (taxpayers) are on the hook to pay for the Fed's headquarters renovation. I thought the Federal Reserve was a private company owned by a consortium of big banks, let them have all the marble and gold plated fixtures they want.....and are willing to pay for from their own funds.
Of course it's a privately owned org. Much of the public still does not realize that the Fed is NOT part of our government. If that criminal banking cartel, the Federal Reserve, needs a billion dollar "headquarters" they should cough up their OWN money. The American people are their victims. Ole Powell is afraid he will not have his wipeless bidet now.
It WAS a hoax, the FBI files that the Dems were clamoring for had been altered and tainted to attempt to implicate Trump. Trump trapped them, and called for the REAL files and evidence from the Grand Jury to be released, but the Dem judges have denied that request. That tells you that the Dems do NOT want the REAL evidence released. It is THEY who are trying to do a coverup, including the Mossad connection.
NEW ARTICLE: IVERMECTIN and FENBENDAZOLE Testimonial - 57 year old California man with Stage 2 Pancreatic Cancer has incredible response to 4 months of therapy. We started:
Ivermectin 1.5mg/kg/day
Fenbendazole 1500mg/day
CBD Oil 100mg/day
--
Results after 4 months: CA19-9: 2244 to 108
Pancreatic Mass 3.6x2.5cm to 1.6x2.5cm = 80% tumor volume shrinkage
IMAhealth.org has a free downloadable pdf and lots of other information about ivermectin/fenbendazole and cancer. This is the renamed FLCCC alliance site. Great Barrington Declaration and all the wonderful doctors who saved us from the JAB!
Having been through the surgery/chemo/radiation game 21 years ago, this is a version of the way I would now go. I've been doing holistic stuff all these years. I'll say I'm not so crazy about anything "marijauna" as the sourcing is really sketchy. A lot of "medical marijuana" which can be smoked or turned into other products, has been sprayed with poisons. Just saying.
Got into a bit of a heated discussion yesterday. My 13 year old dog has a fast growing bump on her muzzle just above her nose. We biopsied it yesterday, she looked at the slide and wasn’t sure but we could send it to a pathologist just in case, for $260 on top of the $130 for the office visit and the needle aspiration. And when we were discussing whether to spend the money or not, I asked about treatment and she said if bad, chemo or radiation. I said, no, it’s not a good spot, and I would consider ivermectin and Fenbenzadole first. She got a little heated and said all those studies have ‘been debunked and said furthermore ivermectin didn’t cure covid’. Boy, she’s an MD who works in a holistic clinic. When I first went there 2 years ago I tried to get in with the holistic vet, but her practice was full. So, ended up with this doc as second best.
Now what? I realize I am worrying about something prematurely but what if it’s cancerous, there are no other natural vets in our area.
I have worked in allopathic the field of vet med and now (the last 15 yrs) do everything holistically consulting people and aiding them in finding the right veterinarian to oversee care. I have treated cancer both ways and would never go back to chemo, radiation or the like for my dogs!!!
Ivermectin and fenbendazole would be a good way to go for your pooch. Just get the dog tested for the MDR1 gene since some dogs cannot tolerate ivermectin. You can order a test online. I paid $79 and it just required a cheek swab. Ivermectin can also be used, topically (paste form) on external cancers. If for some reason you can’t use the ivermectin, you can still use the fenbendazole, CBD, turkey tail mushrooms, etc. You could also consider a very low carbohydrate food, and feeding him once a day only would simulate the intermittent fasting that has shown to be so powerful for humans in their battles against cancer. Cancerous tumors need glucose to survive, and intermittent fasting and a low carbohydrate. diet helps starve the tumors.
I also wanted to add that you can use ivermectin and fenbendazole in conjunction with traditional treatments, such as chemo or radiation, and they will make those treatments work better.
"Here is Dr. Jones’ (Vet) advice on Panacur (Fenbendazole) for cancer: The regimen for cancer is 50 mg/kg of body weight (or 23 mg per lb), once daily for 3 days on / 4 days off."
First you can say you want ivm treatment for your dog.
Alternatively, I would recommend getting the actual “horse paste” ivm vat a feed store. It is a cream more than a “paste.”
Put a little bit on the spot. It is like the ivm lotion for human skin conditions that doctors already prescribe for Rosacea excema and other conditions, 1.87% concentration. Human is 1 to 1.87%.
There is a reason that human creams for skin contain IVM.
Hopefully he can’t lick it off. See if anything happens.
Take before and progressive pictures.
We are testing this on a family member’s radiation damaged skin and it is repairing the skin slowly, before our eyes. We are 1 month in.
There are other skin treatments too. Eg DMSO. Maybe vet would agree to that.
My wife eliminated her Stage 2 Breast cancer taking 222mg of Fenben 3X per week. It was before we knew about Ivermectin's anti-cancer properties. She is cancer free, and still has a reduced size necrotic tumor. Oncologists think tumor size reduction is the cancer holy grail. Except for skin and uterine cancer, cancer is systemic, so eliminating the tumor does not eliminate the cancer in your body. The medical murder mafia would consider the 80 % reduction of this man't tumor a great success if their chemo or radiation had done it, even if he died. Sick but true.
We need to stop following their lead and tackle and measure cancer systemically, through great tracers such as nagalese and HCG, Human Chorionic Gonadotropen . Unfortunately, it is extremely difficult to find anywhere to test these, as the MMM knows these are cheap reliable cancer tests so they eliminated the few places that did these test's ability to source the chemicals required. The chemical cartel is The original manufacturing cartel,m also controlled by the same clique.
Dr. Navarro in the Philippines had this hcg test, inexpensive, and his website link no longer works. Looked into it years ago. So, I think you are right.
Dr. Navarro (son , actually. Daughter lives in US and took the payments) was shut down in April 2023 due to inability to get chemicals. That is where we used to get the HCG test done. Very cheap. $65 plus shipping., 95 % + reliable, so long as you are not pregnant or have s serious trauma wound. Does not tell you where the cancer is, but as I said, since cancer is systemic, it doesn't matter. These tests also blow "the tumor, the tumor" psyop out of the water too, another reason the MMM does not want people using them.
We switched to American Metabolic in Hollywood Florida. A lot more expensive, but they did more tests too, and were very reliable. Almost all the employees had been there for decades. They got shut down at the end of last year when they had their chemical pipeline starved . Very sad. I talked to woman there , and she said between the chemical cut off, and their rent tripling, the owners had to give it up. It was always run more as a service than a profit center.
Not really when you realize those 2 clinics, and the one we use now through Dr. Tennant to test for nagalese are the only 3 places I know of ( and believe me, I have researched ) that people can get reliable cancer testing done outside the MMM system. It is truly an indication of how totally captured top to bottom side to side the Rockefeller MMM is.
I'm sorry, but I absolutely despise Amazon, and buy nothing from them. I buy our Fenben from Happyhealer.com. Amazon is the epitome of a deep state corporation designed to destroy the mom and pop, as well as medium size businesses. They morphed from a book store to selling virtually everything you could imagine, all with 100 % backing from the cabal who want to destroy us. It was what, 10, 15 years before they ever showed a profit, and yet their stock rose to the moon in that same period? Impossible, unless the uber elite are determined to drive everyone else out of business, or under their thumb. Sure they allow small producers to sell on their site, but they take a heck of a cut, and forbid them to undercut the price they post on Amazon.
This is not a personal attack on you. It is an attack on what I believe is the most evil retailer in existence that preys on a population eager for the cheapest and most convenient solution to everything .
I am at my daughter’s house testing the theory that a watched pot never boils. She is due with our first grandbaby just any day now! I can’t even wrap my head around this blessing and the Lord’s extravagant goodness and limitless power.
Oooo, Janice! I am 17 months in with my first grandchick. It is just the best, when she sees me and drops her toys and comes running. My cup runneth over, my heart is full. Praying all goes great!
Getting our 1st grandson in August, our 8th granddaughter in September❣️ Have recently moved states to live close to 5 of them! 5 being raised in the Word. 4 need our prayers as well as their parents, sil Stoney, particularly. Please.
I am hoping that baby does not get newborn jabbed with the hideous childrens jab program. by 18 kids have rec'd 86-92 jabs. it is foul and another way to cause major problems and chronic disease in young people and SIDS in babies.
I’m willing to have the DOJ charge Obama and all the rest. What’s bad for the country is for them to get away with this. Who cares whether the media is covering it. That’s irrelevant. Obama, Comey, Brennan, Clapper and the rest need to be charged. Let them get lawyers and have their day in court. If the DOJ can’t prove their case then they all walk, but they must be charged and they must stand trial. The allegations against them are serious and MUST be investigated.
No one is above the law! Isn’t that what we heard for the last 5 years?
There is no statue of limitation on treason. Someone is putting that out there, but that is a lie.
Btw there was a statue of limitation on sexual assault accusations in NY, and the NY representative changed the law so they could charge Trump with rape after 30 yrs.
You think We the People are going to let Obama, Comey, Brennan, Clapper and the rest off that easy?
Have you not been paying attention? We’re taking our country back. These treasonous traitors will be given their day in court, but they WILL be charged because We the People will demand it.
And if it’s not already past the time then they will drag it out until it is too late. And if they ever went to trial there lawyers will be paid with taxpayer money so you and I will be paying for their defense.
We see how much effect that outrageous attorney fees (to me, not to lawyers) have on a person's wealth. Charge Obama - maybe he will have to sell 1/3 acre of his Martha's Vineyard seacoast mansion to cover his own attorney fees. Although there should be a few steadfast Dem supporters willing to put out a few more bucks to help keep Obama solvent.
The Cambodia/Thai is MUCH more than a minor skirmish! See this post from former Green Beret, Michael Yon. It has to do with CCP, routes, belt and road, "KRA Isthmus Canal", etc. CCP wants Thailand compromised and out of the way for a massive canal project. See his substack for more info: https://michaelyon.substack.com/p/jai-yen-thailand-and-cambodia-war [Note: he has some strong positions on other topics as well, but his insight and knowledge are very tight on this type of international interaction.]
Thank you for this. I was going to ask if this was a case of "the issue isn't the issue"; fighting over a tourist spot is too casual an excuse for an escalating conflict.
Yes! I am always interested in what Michael has to say. He warned us a long time ago that this “ immigration” was truly an invasion. He reports about the Darian gap in Panama, at the effort of the Chinese, to streamline entry of military age men into our country.
I say share it and split the tourist monies since the holy shrine is important to both. that is what I would do. no old relic should be getting innocents killed.
It’s time for the New York Times to be recognized as anything but a newspaper.
The classification of ‘newspaper’ gives it immunity under the First Amendment. They continue to publish stories that are opinion and not facts throughout their product without labeling it ‘OPINION’… opinion is printed within the Editorial Section of the paper.
The DOJ should take the New York Times to court and let the Times defend the undefendable.
I started subscribing to the WSJ 45 years ago. It was a financial/business newspaper. It is now a rag. I quit that publication, which is NOT a cheap thing and bought a subscription to C&C. I'd been a freeloader for long enough. I happily spend the money here and it's less that that useless liberal rag.
perhaps they could take the extra building ahole powell referred to and house some of the homeless there for now. why should that entitled pos get all those amenities. my tax dollars, my say.
For the short term, they could build something like alligator alcatraz to house them and provide food and help until better circumstances are found and/or built. Our veterans should not be living on the streets.
It has more than usual free speech protection, I think. There was a case in which the NYT made up lies about a town's racial policies (decades ago) and the town took them to court. Through all the appeals, I think all the way up to SCOTUS, it was established that 1) the NYT was lying 2) it had harmed the reputation of the town and some of its officials 3) the NYT was free to continue the lying.
Somehow the usual defamation exception to the first amendment doesn't apply to newspapers.
Not sure if someone on here knows the details, but it's pretty bad.
They've been at war so many times over the centuries it's not funny. All they need is an excuse, and viola! The Kingdom of Siam was/is what it was for a reason.
But holy moly, Thai politics are insane!
As Yuri says, beautiful countries. As beautiful as they come, really. I've spent a lot of time over there for work in Southeast Asia. Blessed and entitled to be able to do so and enjoy it. No more, nor do I miss the 24 hours of sky bus. No Thank You!
Most people who started wars with the Thai's/Siamese regretted it.
An aside, during the Vietnam conflict, the only people the VC and the NVA were worried about were the Thai Army contribution, and where were they were in the country. They played the NVA's game better than the NVA did.
Trump's actions on the homeless and mentally ill is one of his best moves yet, and he now has a LONG list of excellent actions and accomplishments. Allowing that situation to continue as is while sending billions to countries that hate us has been an awful stain on this great nation. I hope the impact is meaningful and swift. Long overdue. Thank you President Trump!
Yes. Some homeless want to be that way. Not sure if it’s psychological issues or drugs. I say, fine, you want to be homeless, ok, but go be homeless somewhere that won’t disturb the rest of us. I don’t want to sound uncaring but it’s all gotten too far out of hand. Jeff hit the truth when he said it’s about the money all the supposed “helpers” are getting. They don’t care about bit about the homeless as long as the money keeps flowing. This is probably another situation where churches would’ve stepped in and outcomes would probably be better.
Churches do step up, you just don't see it unless you look at churches budgets. In our community a new tiny home community for homeless seniors has sprouted up and is funded in great part by churches, orgs, and individuals giving monthly donations and helping to build the homes. Of course, any grants these projects manage to get for start-up is key, I won't downplay that.
In blue cities, unfortunately, a lot of churches contribute to the problem. When we lived in Seattle, it was common for churches to take turns “hosting” tent cities in their parking lots. The laws at the time said they could stay in one place for up to 3 or 4 months before they had to move on to another spot. Some congregations would also collect donated tents for the homeless. They had to be brand new, of course!
Churches used to be islands of refuge in a sea of uncertainty, but a lot of them are full of ultra bleeding heart liberals now.
Catholic Social Services has been pretty busy trafficking illegals into the US for the past four years.
I guess we should all be grateful that they have branched out and away from exclusively abusing little boys and now also facilitate the abuse of little girls too. That’s DEI in action folks!!
Oregon coffers will be hurting with this homeless funding change. The State does the very opposite of best practices for the homeless. The woke guv will just dig in her heels but Trump's plan is the best chance for the homeless. Oregon's red counties figured how to get around the State's liberal policies, so we look nothing like Portland when it comes to homeless, and we offer good services to those wanting it.
I believe that she is so honest she does not worry about what her actions look like or how they will cost her. This is the same woman who sold all of her stock(as did her husband as well) before she entered the House of Representatives, so that no one could accuse her of voting a certain way for her own stock portfolio.
I think she's fine... I would have preferred that she had come out strong against Trump ignoring her true intel assessment of Iran's nuke program... and his subsequent criminal bombing of Iran...
But I'm sure that would have cost her her job... so, is understandable.
Hoping the Fed starts getting the attention it truly deserves. Just crazy that it's got that much power as a private institution.... I doubt Powell will drop rates soon, just because he's pretty hard-core anti-Trump, but when the rates do drop it will be a great thing for US citizens. Looking forward to that.
47 truly feels the need of the public… ppl can’t afford a starter home! How Trump handled the weasel was priceless and a fabulous ‘visual’ for the ppl!!
Question: why does President Trump never need to use reading glasses? Anyone else notice that? Grandma Powell had to fumble out his glasses to read that. . .

Do not be wise in your own mind. Never paying back evil for evil to anyone, respecting what is good in the sight of all men, if possible, so far as it depends on you, being at peace with all men, never taking your own revenge, beloved—instead leave room for the wrath of God. For it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord. “But if your enemy is hungry, feed him, and if he is thirsty, give him a drink; for in so doing you will heap burning coals on his head.” Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
— Romans 12:16b-21 LSB

Thank you Janice for “hijacking” the comments… being “hijacked” by scripture is a good thing… fixing our hope on the things above!
Amen.
ketoburnblueprint.com/ii9n6
I always appreciate scripture, but don’t confuse vengeance with accountability.
Of course!! They are quite different.
I also like that passage. But it also makes me laugh cus the end reminds me of the Mystery Men movie quote:
Master your anger or
Anger will be your master 😂
I am not familiar with the movie, but that quote is a good one.
First, tenth, or later, I always pray over your daily scripture for us all! Thank you for your dedication to sharing scripture every day, Janice!
Thank you for praying, Carol.
The LORD REIGNS!! Blessed be the Name of the Lord.
First In Line . . . You Go Girl‼️
Good scripture today Janice!!
That's my continual prayer for 47 - that he is undertaking the massive, positive steps to aright our Constitutional Republic because it NEEDS DONE and not for any vengeful feelings he may have 'accumulated' between 2020 and 2024 because of the vicious attacks from the DEMONrats and their 'lawfare lambasts"!!
Thank you for being first and hijacking the comments!!
"16 Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits. 17 Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men. 18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men. 19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. 20 Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. 21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good."
Fine! Now...where are the Epstein Files??
Still asking—Exactly how will the release of the Epstein files impact your life?
Still waiting. Promises made, promises kept, most especially when concerning our president. The degree of personal integrity of elected officials directly impacts my voting choices. Trust and truth are fundamental values that support our republic when well founded, and seriously undermine it when absent. I/we need to know which we have.
Amen! Amen!
Good morning Janice, your verse today is a good one and I would like to throw a couple of my pennies out there.
“For it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord.”
I would like to replay my reply to an earlier C&C post: “For the sake of those of us who believe in God, I would like to say that maybe we shouldn’t be so concerned about consequences in this life for these evil people, but more, I’m thinking, we should be satisfied that what was whispered in secret is shouted from the Internet, and what was done in the dark is brought into the LIGHT.
…God can handle the rest of it.”
“But if your enemy is hungry, feed him, and if he is thirsty, give him a drink;…”
In the latter part of the month of September back in 2001, I witnessed televised network news interviews with five of the leading Christian televangelists in America, every one of whom was fully in favor of bombing their enemy instead of feeding them or giving them something to drink, apparently believing that was a fulfillment of this part of the verse; “for in so doing you will heap burning coals on his head.”
Actually, ‘heaping burning coals on his head’, was not a reference to dropping bombs on your enemy, but instead to the ancient custom of sharing your household fire with someone whose fire had gone out. They carried the coals in a pan on their head, so when you heaped those coals on his head, you were actually helping him get his fire started, which was a favor. A favor which perhaps equates to sharing the gospel with someone that lacks that fire.
… come on ,Jesus, light my fire
We need to also be careful and WISE when we ‘feed our enemies’.
The Kibutzim that shared the border with the Palestinians became ‘friends’ with the very people who murdered them in their sleep. They invited these demons into their homes and broke bread with them.
They took note of where they slept, which ones had dogs, they shot the dogs immediately and killed many of the children first.
Some of the Gazan families came in and took hostage and/or murdered some of the very families who ‘thought’ these Gazans were their friends.
But then, the kibbutzim families were the very ones pushing for the Government to divide the Land, which GOD expressly ordered them NOT to do.
Discernment is the order of the day.
We need to remember Yeshua also told his disciples that while he was gone, they were to carry swords.
You are correct CStone. I believe the music concert was also geared towards 'peace', and became a death trap.
I will never think less of the massacre, a real genocide, and the evil that occurred that day, by the misguided intent of kibbutzim residents and the concert participants.
The spiritual battle became crystal clear that day. Many of the heinous actions that were carried out in those hours were done by 'civilians' with permission of uniformed Hamas fighters. Pure drug fueled hatred that defies any earthly explanation.
You do realize that this "surprise" attack happened on the most militarized border on the planet, right? It was allowed to happen so Israel could carry out their genocide.
Yes, so many of these commands were for Christians with Christians (Jews with Jews before Christ came) who shared the same values. Many see kindness as weakness, an invitation to harm. So while kindness is our mode of operation, discernment has to be our guide. King David, a man after God’s own heart, waged war on his enemies practically his entire reign in order to protect Israel.
right, be kind, be forgiving, but be careful who you are kind and forgiving to. Some take kindness for weaknesses and will kill you after they've taken everything from you. Some regard people who aren't of their tribe as goyim and infidels and have nothing but hate for them.
CStone - words of wisdom, and things to consider, which have been ignored.
This is more of a question or concern. At some point it seems to me that dropping bombs on someone's head is accountability and not vengeance. Governments are supposed to protect their citizens just like we are required to protect our families.
It was American and European christian government leaders that decided to bomb good and gentle people in Afghanistan and Iraq, resulting in millions upon millions of angry people crossing borders with a chip on their shoulders as they left their bombed out homes on the way to the homes of good and gentle people in other countries.
The mistake that many christians make is thinking that their country is the only country that is justified in wreaking vengeance upon their enemies. As you and I and others, even on this post, proclaim absolute defense of our homes and families, we neglect to consider the fact that there are many previously good and gentle men in Iraq and Afghanistan, who have seen their families devastated by American and European bombs, that feel the same way, which is why I referred to a chip on their shoulders.
… so maybe bombing them wasn’t such a good idea after all
You must be referring to the same good and gentle people of Afghanistan and Iraq who attacked the World trade center and the Pentagon.
I’m referring to the good and gentle people of Afghanistan and Iraq that didn’t have a damn thing to do with what happened in New York that day. They, like all of us, were just going about their own business, taking care of business and doing their jobs; construction work, driving trucks, baking bread, fixing food, etc., the same as us. Bombing those people was simply wrong and now good and gentle people in America and Europe are paying the price for the mistakes that our leaders have made.
… mistakes that many christians have applauded
essenbe, the truth that is coming out is that 9/11 was an inside job. Our government did it. Maybe the Muslems are culpable for participating, but our government drew them in. It wasn't the Muslems plan. Shocking I know. But the facts are there.
is it forbidden to say israel/mossad was responsible for 9/11?
Yes John, most of the public still accepts the lies that we were told about what happened that day. The enemy was our own government, the deep state, the intel complex, here and abroad.
Is that opposed to the good and gentle Americans who were killed as they went on vacations, went to work or took care of business? I'm more concerned about the innocent Americans who were killed.
And no, I don't believe it was an "inside job", I've seen no facts that support that just speculation and 'could have been's'
Here's just one little clue. Isn't it interesting that our govt was able to find among all the wreckage, the undamaged passports of the specific alleged terrorists right on top of the mess? Right there alone, it should make you think something stinks. 9/11 ushered in the surveillance state we now have with the Patriot Act removing much of the Constitution as law. It allowed the Afghan forever war, it allowed the reshaping of the Middle East with the invasion of Iraq (again).
And the Oct 7 event in Israel allowed that gov't to carry out it's current genocide.
You can pretend not to see if it makes you more comfortable.
I too, care about innocent Americans being killed. Which is why I mentioned how the good and gentle people in America and Europe are paying the price for the deadly decision to bomb those two countries and the people in them, countries that hadn’t done a damn thing to us. Your thinking that Iraq or Afghanistan had anything to do with the twin towers in New York is totally without basis in fact, completely without evidence, and we all should know Iraq was based on a lie. That is not speculation. American government leaders conspired with leaders of European countries, for example, Britain and Germany, to bomb two countries that had not done anything to any of us. And as a result of that conspiracy, people in Europe and in America are going to suffer the consequences. That is not speculation. It is not ‘could have been’, it is ‘gonna be and now is’. It is happening today on the streets in America and Europe. Murder and rape and kidnapping and torturing little children to death is being done to American and European christians today, by muslim migrants who are doing it as a consequence of us dropping bombs on Iraq and Afghanistan. That’s what I’m saying and there ain’t no denying.
Very few christians are aware of the law concerning the ‘avenger’ (redeemer) of blood, where it was required by God that if any man killed someone, on purpose, that someone’s male blood relative was required to kill the killer, in order to redeem the life that was lost. That’s the chip that these muslim men carry on their shoulders into our previously peaceful countries, and we’re talking about men that cut other men’s heads off in the middle of the town square. For show.
Men that prefer to kill with knives because it’s more personal. And some of these previously good and gentle muslim men have watched their wives and children burn to a grotesque death because of the phosphorus bombs that ‘we’ dropped through their roofs while they were sleeping. And ‘we’ here in America slough it off as though it was righteous and justified. I’m calling bullshit.
“Although they know God's judgment that those who do such things deserve to die, they not only do these things but also approve of others who do them.” Rom1:32
There are comments on this post today by men who say they will kill to protect their families. I am one of them. What could possibly make us think that some of these muslim men are any different when it comes to their families? (It is actually lack of thinking that makes us think that, just saying.) I’m saying that America and Europe killed the families of muslim men that believe that they’re required by their god to kill ‘us’ back. Life for life. Think about that.
By us, I mean any of us, including you and me, essenbe. And what I’m trying to say here is simply that you and I, well I don’t know about you, but I know I, and many ‘innocent’ Americans and Europeans don’t deserve to have a muslim man fulfill that requirement by taking any of our lives. I didn’t want anything to do with bombing Iraq or Afghanistan. I don’t know about you, but that’s the point I’m trying to make here. There are millions of people in Iraq and Afghanistan that didn’t want to have anything to do with fighting a war with America. They did not attack us, contrary to your misconception of what happened in New York. It is common, and easily available, information that proves those two countries had nothing to do with that day, ‘though it requires that one is able to ‘see’ in spite of all of the smoke and mirrors.
A wise man once said, “if you want to know why someone (gov’t leaders) did something, just look at the outcomes.”
One of the outcomes of ‘us’ bombing them is that there are now untold tens of millions of people that have been driven from their homes into other countries because the homes were bombed. We now have millions of angry men roaming our streets, when, before we bombed them, they roamed their own streets. Maybe that outcome was what the leaders wanted.
Regardless, we have learned that there are consequences for our actions. We are living, and dying, in the consequence of us dropping bombs on our enemy. And it’s not good.
…So maybe instead of bombs, bread and water.
America generally tries to target military positions. Muslim military targets civilians. The good and gentle Muslims allowed their military to camp in schools and hospitals and residential areas. If you watched any of the programs on fighting in Afghanistan, you would have seen our soldiers tracking a Muslim target, calling back to some office in D. C. to get permission to shoot when he was identified and being denied that permission because a possible civilian was in the vicinity.
What you say is true Donna, however, we’re discussing the idea that bombing these people was a horrible mistake. The things that you point out actually bolster that argument by pointing out that bombing them was a logistical nightmare that America would have done well to avoid. Your use of the words ‘generally tries’ implies that America does hit targets other than military positions, which is true. There have been reports of large numbers of innocent muslim civilians that have died due to the bombs that American and European gov’t leaders chose to drop upon these two countries.
Hence, the American military‘s use of the words ‘collateral damage’.
Your statement that “Muslim military targets civilians” gives us a good reason to consider the wisdom of dropping bombs on people that we know are gonna kill innocent American and European civilians in return. I’m saying that it was not a good idea to drop these bombs in the first place, you’re talking about the problems that existed after we started bombing them.
… problems that would not have existed if we had obeyed God
Interesting concept about “heaping burning coals on his head” hadn’t heard that before… will have to research more later!
The ESV Study Bible has an excellent footnote on this passage.
Thank you! I will pull out the ESV study Bible tonight.
Amen.
Praise the Lord for His unerring Word!
So here are my twisted first thoughts but not sure what I would actually do...
We should remember these verses when a drugged, possibly violent, homeless man comes into your yard and scares your children while playing...
Maybe feed and clothe him... pray with him. God may save his soul.
However, it is risky with people who are drugged with nothing to lose.
Sounds looney but it may change his life and then if he doesn't move on, cock your gun and defend your family.
I had a similar situation in L.A., part of what prompted my move to Idaho after 68 years in California. We were installing a new garage door. Our property was alongside an alley way, (which had been a safe place for 30+ years). My family was in the back yard having a birthday party with many neighbor kids included, when a severely deranged larger man and his "woman" barged into my yard terrifying everyone. they were unspeakably filthy and very loud and threatening. After several of the "MEN" tried to wrangle these two and getting hurt in the process. I decided that I wasn't going to pray for them, feed them or offer housing. All of the children were now safely inside my home and out of sight when I appeared with my "unapproved" California 9mm pistol. When these two saw their immediate future staring them in the face, their fear mongering and threatening disappeared and so did they, never to return.
Just to quantify: I am a born again Christian my entire life (73yrs). I along with my family, do not fear the defensive use of firearms.
1 Timothy 5:8:
"But if anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially for members of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever." This verse emphasizes the responsibility to care for and provide for one's family.
Just say'n...
Excellent! I find it appalling when people who likely have never faced evil in their lives try to use scripture to advise those of us who have, to be loving & supportive, & passively accept the decaying status quo to allow God to handle evil. Weak-kneed Christianity is a path to obliteration of otherwise good & gentle people. As for me, we do not welcome illegal alien invaders or psychotic lunatics into our household, city or State. My first & foremost duty is to my family not the imported street vermin whose primary purpose seems to be to justify billion$ of ineffective "aid" & pad vote totals for urban Leftist politicians. We escaped the dying city of Seattle back in 2021 for reasons explained in the documentary at this link: https://youtu.be/bpAi70WWBlw?si=dshuf5a9dGreLgTr
It was my first thought applying that verse to that guy's situation. It really depends on the situation and as a Jesus follower, I trust the Holy Spirit's discernment.
In your situation, my twisted funny (not real funny at the time) thought would be every adult pulls out a gun, prays for their soul and asks them politely to leave or they will be meeting their maker... but sucks to be in CA.
I live in Florida and if I fear my life is in danger, we can shoot.
Love my Guv! Go Ronnie D!!!
Mike, you did the right thing.
Here in Cali. Governor gruesome is trying to pass new legislature making gun use more difficult. Of course.
I was born and raised in SOCAL. Lived under a lot of governors Newsome is by far the slimiest most destructive of all. I'll tell ya as tough as it is not be able to surf here in Idaho...Im glad to be in a red, constitutional carry, graffiti free state, where even the little kids wave at you when you go by!
I read your account and William's account - both of you relocated from quite liberal/permissive locations to conservative states. From what I can see, each of you had a breaking point that caused you to leave the permissive locale. Before you left, did you generally agree with the policies that resulted in the disaster that caused you to leave and therefore it was acceptable until it came through your front door? (My husband's zone of attention is focused on the front door and what comes through it - ok, technically, the front yard and I try to "shame" him by saying he doesn't care until it comes through his front door. :)) Or did you tolerate them because, in your case, it sounds like you wanted to surf which you obviously can't do where you are now? Or something else? I am interested in the psychology of humans when they end up like the frog in the proverbial boiling pot of water. Lastly, in your new location are you vigilant for cues that it's going in the same direction as Ca? I've lived in 11 states and many large cities in those states but it was before cities devolved to medieval dumps.
Great Question.. I lived in the San Fernando Valley. For a point of reference we were 1.5 miles from the epicenter of the Northridge 6.9 quake on '94. I raised 5 kids there and yes I was a vigilant watcher on the wall. I agree with your husband but my permitter was much larger. The problem of urban squall is it is like the hands of a clock. You look up and...Crap! Everyone saw it several of us fought against it by organizing, getting elected etc. There are more that are asleep. or believe that it will mysteriously get better? But there does come a time when it's too hot and we jumped out of the pot. I moved to a suburb just outside of Boise. It's wonderful for the last 5 years. But the influence of a liberal mayor of Boise and Boise State College is starting to creep. The locals are having none of it and are fighting back. Our local retired L.A. cop and restaurant and barkeeper just developed a Hetero awesomness 3 day event on the lawn of the state capital, in Boise, on the same start day of pride month!! It was Awesome!
Sorry for the long winded response.
Defend your family should be your FIRST priority. If they’re looney, you’re going to put your children in danger to ‘feed them’?
They CHOSE to live the est they’re living.
100% protect family 1st...
In reality, I would have to trust the Holy Spirit at the time.
However, I like where I live because I am allowed to defend myself.
Dawn, I think of this issue every time I see a homeless and/or pitiful person downtown or beside the road. My heart goes out to them, but I don't know what my role is. That said, some years ago a friend's son was in the hospital near me. The Lord led me to bring two sandwiches for him. On the way there, a man was on a corner where many times people are panhandling and I felt compelled to give him one of the sandwiches, so I did. This dilemma feels like a tight-rope walk between ministering and staying "safe." But then I wonder if we are supposed to strive to be safe. Or if even being concerned about that shows a lack of faith in God's ability to lead and protect. Just throwing some thoughts out there . . .
I feel pity for them too and in most cases they were abused and or negleted as children that had a terrible mental and or demonic impact on their life so when I feel led, I do something but not every single time and not when they are erratic on drugs.
I was led without fear to sit on a park bench next to a lady not long ago. She was clearly talking to a spirit in the middle of our conversation. She said it was god but it wasn't. It was a demon. It spoke to it when she changed her voice. I called it a liar and to leave her in the name of Jesus. She snapped out of it and told me she can't talk to me anymore. There is more but that was a short version.
We can plant seeds and hope they grow.
Love this but not willing or capable of feeding or loving the likes of fauci or gates and their ilk. Maybe someday but not now. I love God but He takes too long.
He is merciful beyond our understanding, but He is also just and will avenge all evil.
But He expects us to protect our own,
We are not to exact vengeance, but we are NOT to just lay down and let them harm our loved ones.
He is but He takes too long. Look at how many have suffered and died from covid and the jabs and they have still not been held accountable.
The Lord has His plan and we must trust Him.
Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; fret not yourself over the one who prospers in his way, over the man who carries out evil devices! Refrain from anger, and forsake wrath! Fret not yourself; it tends only to evil. For the evildoers shall be cut off, but those who wait for the Lord shall inherit the land.
I will be old and gray and needing dentures by the time that happens. Patience is a virtue but that too can be overdone. I do trust Him but He takes too long. He has eternity, I only have so long on this planet and the sobs need to be punished now, it has already been 5 years for petes sake.
And President Trump has only been in office 6 months. You cannot turn a large ship on a dime, it would capsize.
Read Deuteronomy 28. All of it. There are blessings and curses in it, but both the blessings and the curses are promises, and we get to choose whether we are blessed or cursed.
One is, if you obey, you will be the lender and not the borrower….
And then, but if you do NOT obey, you will be the borrower and NOT the lender.
We have violated EVERY SINGLE INSTRUCTION He gave. And we are under judgement right now.
He has given us a small window of opportunity to repent, and if we do not, as individuals AND as a nation repent, then we will continue to be under judgement.
“GOD is NOT mocked. What a person sows, that will they also reap.” And man-oh-man, are we reaping.
Lori, if you really are a Christian, you need to repent of your attitude. How dare you question God’s perfect timing? You are elevating your puny human mind to the level of God. Consider this one of many scriptures which speak of God’s perfection :
“ I will proclaim the name of the Lord; how glorious is our God! He is the Rock; His deeds are perfect. Everything He does is just and fair. He is a faithful God Who does no wrong; how just and upright He is!” Deuteronomy 32:3-4, NLT
Lori. I feel sadness for that too, but people made choices. Almost ALL made their choices out of fear. They feared man more than they feared God.
true but that does no exonerate the sobs that did this like fauci and his putrid ilk. they need to pay.
people like fauci, gates and too many more to name need to pay for their numerous premeditated murders and crimes here in the earthly realm.
I can’t blame God for taking too long when the Church allowed it. We required our employees to take the vaxx and didn’t even stand up to closing our churches for 2 years (while allowing casinos and liquor stores to remain open) when the Bible expressly tells us not to forsake gathering together. “Let go and let God,” means let go of being in control, not of being obedient.
God works through people, including armed people.
Mitch, ...and including homeless people?
Bringing law breakers to justice is not revenge.
You are correct.
Why not just heap REAL burning coals on the muddafukkas head? Skip the gymnastic prose, y’know ?
Hmmmm have you heard of the Church Militant?
Jerome Powell’s expression when President Trump called him out to his face yesterday was priceless. Find it and watch it. Worth it!!
It was rather Biden-esk. Pulling back the curtain to find a hunched old man muttering something like a corrected child, and very little to say of any importance. Please President Trump, get rid of the Fed and IRS. 😉
And the IRS
I stand corrected 😂
Yes, "End The Fed!"
A truly beautiful sight!!!
Squirm, weasel, squirm.
I loved when Trump pulled the paper of his jacket 😀
That was a BOOM moment!
I think Jerome thought it was his discharge papers!!
😂
About how the price of all the buildings went UP!! Powell is a weasel!
I have to present an alternative picture of the Fed to the one presented by our esteemed host. Not sure which is accurate, but here are some facts and theories.
It does not appear accurate to say that Powell held rates down through the Obiden presidency and then raised them on Trump. Quite the opposite appears to be true.
According to my AI, Powell raised rates from .33% to 5.33% between 2022 and 2023, as soon as he got out from under Covid and right in the middle of the Biden presidency. Then he eased down a point between September and December 2024, just as Trump was taking control.
The Fed is a problem, for sure, but in practical terms, it has been raising the cost of off-shore dollars and bringing them back home to be retired. Meanwhile, the near zero-interest money that Ubu ushered in, which was then used by foreign actors (e.g. Soros) to start revolutions, pay off politicians, and pull shenanigans like BLM has become much less available and more costly. (Probably one reason why recent agitprop events like "No Kings" have been so small and unimpressive. It takes lots of money to stage those things.)
There is a theory that Powell and Trump are working together but that they must seem to be adversaries to maintain the appearance of an independent Fed.
AI??? It can only put out what is put in. I believe it as much as I believe wikipeki. None
A healthy amount of skepticism is certainly warranted these days, but I think we can rely on what AI says after it looks all over the internet for Fed funds rates during the last 5 years.
you are way better off at least balancing your AI with Catherine Austin Fitts who has quite a lot of informed comment on the Fed, treasury and the wholesale theft of American Treasure
there should be no central bank or central bankers.
How about Forbes:
https://www.forbes.com/advisor/investing/fed-funds-rate-history
Thanks for calling this out. Love ya Jeff, but your timing is wrong on your claim about interest rates.
The AI is right in this case. Rates went up during Biden's admin. Mid 2022, in full swing by 2023. The level leveled a bit but not come back down to previous levels. Nor should they. Money shouldn't be that cheap to borrow.
Tom Luongo supports your theory and insists that Jerome Powell is a good guy. Luongo says that Powell is trying to get rid of the Euro-Dollars that really don't help the US at all.
I also happen to think that very low interest rates are bad. They only encourage investments in worthless things because the money is nearly "free".
Common sense tells you that is baloney. Read the book about the creation of the fed.
Carolyn is referring to "The Creature From Jekyll Island. The establishment of the Federal Reserve was an evil plot by evil bankers. It's an eye opener.
Interesting Powell trying to get rid of the Euro-Dollars but spending gozillions on HIS digs? Not buying that at all.
TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU!! I watched how interest rates rose during the Biden years, starting in 2022. It was a great time to invest in US Treasuries! And, yes, been listening to Tom Luongo (who reads C&C) for the past 5 years. I am watching the Trump/Powell "TV show" with some chuckling and wondering if they are in some kind of cahoots. Wouldn't be surprised.
Yes, I recall Powell raising rates every quarter for at least one year of Bidens presidency.
I’m not arguing the numbers, but this statement jumped out at me: “Then he eased down a point between September and December 2024, just as Trump was taking control.”
President Trump was not taking control during that time frame. He was inaugurated on January 21. He may have hit the ground running, but he had zero control of the federal government at that time.
Those months straddle the first quarter of our federal government fiscal year 2025 (10/-12/31). In fact I wonder at the trick employed to use the month of September in the description, which I assume was generated by an AI tool.
Anyway, that first fiscal quarter would be the “Biden” administration crucial last full quarter in office, and TPTB likely hoped lowering interest rates in any amount would juice overall economic numbers, even a tiny bit. (Given the significantly corrected numbers around employment and GDP, I can’t see how it would have made a difference, but that question is well above my pay grade.)
Could you not build an entire building in the millions? Trump tower is estimated to be worth a paltry $450 million today. And 7 years into the Reno??? A lot of people are getting paid way too much with our money. We should ask for an itemized bill. I bet there are a lot of “consultants” involved.
Really. TV gold. I almost, but not quite, felt sorry for him. Look at the way he gazes upon Trump.
Don't feel sorry for jerome using OUR money for marble everything and luxury private bathrooms. His crap is no better than ours so he can wipe his a** like the rest of us in a normal bathroom. another POS using our tax money for BS.
This custom goes back years. A certain Senate Office Building that shall remain nameless had all of its two-stall public restrooms remodeled in the late 1990s with floor to ceiling marble slabs at a rumored cost of $250,000 each. Lovely.
Time for new customs and ones that do not cost us billions since we the people can't use them.
Actually you can use those. Just go past security into the building. All the office buildings are open to the public.
My derriere doesn't require marble but thanks Lydia:}
TV gold is Steve Bannon recent interview (released yesterday) by PBS Frontline. Steve talks extensively about the brick by brick dismantling of the administrative state by 47, which is just getting warmed up. Redirecting $ away from the ‘too much empathy’ homelessness complex is one Exhibit among many of what is historically happening around us.
https://youtu.be/NAgh90cC4KI?si=XRFDU5g_JAD2J2cW
Holy Crapp.
I just spent over an hour watching that in the middle of reading comments. . . and it was worth it.
Bannon's virtual one way narrative, actually fully allowed by his PBS questioner, shows the game plan has been serious for years to take the presidency back and lay down the rule of law.
Fantastic "speech" with perfect use of F bombs in strategic places.
I am really glad HE is on our side.
I watched it last night and could not peel my eyes away. Steve Bannon is the godfather of MAGA for a reason. What a stone-cold ally we have. I've been wanting an administrative state dismantling back to Tea Party days. And now we're getting first taste of it. It's gonna take successive MAGA POTUS' to really win this war. And there is a need IMO to legislatively 'salt the earth' behind some of the agencies being defunded. Without this, the head of this hydra can rise again.
yes, salt the earth. . . hopefully, Trump's last term here will be the START of a MAGA epoch.
I second your ‘Holy Crap’. I don’t watch Warroom because I find the interrupting discourse irritating but I may have to get over that. Bannon is a force.
I thought the best part of interview was when Bannon riffed about the 32 year old Chicago guy in 2 bedroom apartment, a small Tv w/ multiple jobs to make ends meet - is actually funding the government that is resulting in his own misery.
So true. All of it. I wonder if his time in jail solidified his resolve to dismantle the DS or if he was always this focused. Regardless, I am glad he is on our side.
But when he took off his hard hat, though..! “We don’t need these…it’s safe in here.” Kinda like the US and interest rates..it was poetic.
The hard hat comment and action was directed at over regulation by osha and the virtue signaling the left loves so dearly. Masks anyone?
I'm confused by Jeff's rate hike timeline.
Mortgage rates went from 3.1% in 2021 to 7% in 2023.
The rate hike speed was VERY noticeable.
(All this did *not* happen after Trump's election.)
What am I missing here?
https://www.bankrate.com/mortgages/historical-mortgage-rates/
Yes, it's wrong.
8% started a long time before Trump got in office. I know because a friend who worked for a mortgage lending co. lost her job and mentioned how awful it was that the rates had gone up so much, that was 3 years ago or so.
Interest rates were high for decades. That was the main reason why federal bonds were so popular. They were secure and paid well.
Probably! I wouldn't know. I'm a permanent renter. I am fairly oblivious about the housing market. I just saw a lot of people lose their life's savings in 2008. Never been interested since. What a scam.
Yes, priceless and when Trump slapped him on the back, I thought he would fall over. One of the best clips!
Jeff is 100% wrong on interest rates. Fed funds rate went up from 0.25% to 5.5% from Feb 2022 to Jul 2023. Then from 5.5% to 4.5% from Jul 2024 to Dec 2024. We need lower interest rates but that’s because we spend trillions of $ too much money every year so we have to pay interest at current rates. When I was a senior in high school interest rates were 16.64%. Current 6-7% mortgage rates are nowhere near high historically. We have a govt spending problem not an interest rate problem.
Is it just me, but when I look at the photo of the Hindu temple, the Fed construction project comes to mind; maybe it’s because of what appears to be two buildings. I can imagine the high priest, and head priest of the temple, walking around the site, 1,500 years ago, having pretty much the same conversation . . . and then, as now, the head priest of the temple was in trouble.
You set up an interesting metaphor. That Hindu Priest of a Divided Site came before Cambodia and Thailand bombed what they fight over. “Shiva, God of Destruction” is an alias for Satan, “the angel of the Abyss, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon and in Greek is Apollyon, the Destroyer” (Revelation 9:11). Reminds me of Solomon’s test of true love: “Shall we split the baby?” The childish and fatal choice is, “Yes, if I can’t have it, neither can you.”
Stretching the metaphor . . . When we don’t live up to our founding principle, one nation under God, we preside over our own destruction. Way back in 1 Kings 18:21, Elijah boiled it down. “How long will you waver between two opinions? If the Lord is God, follow him. But if Baal is God, follow him.”
Apparently, “Baal” means something like “owner or possessor.” Chilling notion.
Baal son of el
El means God
El had been the primary god of Canaan
Baal is the son of El
Baal means lord or owner or master or husband
Baal was a common term for husband. (Bridegroom)
Baal was storm and fertility god (Canaan)ite
His symbol was a bull.
The two gods that Jeroboam put up in Israel for the people to worship were golden bulls
Baal (bull) worship was taught by the church leaders of Israel as religious truth. It wasn’t. It was just the false teachings of men. (not biblical truth)
Elijah tried to stop the worship of Baal, the son of El (the son of God).
Elijah is type of the bride (Elisha-144,000 invited guests?)
Cult strengthened again after Elijah.
(Seems like Elisha didn’t do a very good job.)
Was finally crushed by Jehu. (Jehovah is he)
God did not want them to worship the son of god.
“You shall be in charge of my house, and all my people are to obey your commands. Only with regard to the throne will I be greater than you.” (Gen41:40)
… this explains why Jesus said “God is greater than I”
Nicely fleshed out. Child sacrifice to Baal must be the ultimate insult to our Creator and “Redeemer who formed you in the womb” (Isaiah 44:24). It puts abortion in the proper light of a kidnap/murder. The vile irony of Satan calling himself a husband to whom Jesus claims as His bride. God designed a husband to create and protect life, not put children to horrific deaths.
Good point about Jesus saying “God is greater than I.” It magnifies His sacrifice of not only crucifixion but giving up His seat in heaven to live in this filthy world. Then He returned to heaven and said, “I will ask the Father, and He will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever— the Spirit of truth… He lives with you and will be in you” (John 14:16-17). I picture Jesus returning to heaven where He and the Holy Spirit high-five, and the Holy Spirit says, “OK, I’m going in to close out the game.” What kind of love is this? It’s another Holy sacrifice to protect and empower us on this corrupt earth.
“Or do you think Scripture says without reason that He jealously longs for the Spirit He has caused to dwell in us?” (James 4:5). He longs to bring His Spirit home, and the Spirit will take us too. I can hardly wait for the Holy Spirit to say about His role, “It is finished.”
Thanks for the compliment, Reasonable Horses. (Are there 4 horses?) I really like the things that you said here, and would like to discuss some of them with you.
It’s not only an insult to God, but one of the few things that he calls an abomination. The book says that we sacrifice our children to demons. These demons inhabit the bodies of those people that are torturing and terrifying the children, draining and drinking their blood, harvesting their organs, killing them, and ultimately cooking and eating them. Man (or horses) talk about an abomination. Jesus said it would be better for them that a millstone be tied around their neck and they be cast into the deep than what is ultimately gonna happen to them when they stand in front of him and receive their eternal judgement.
And now on the subject of spirits. Jesus said “I will ask the Father, and He will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever— the spirit of truth… He lives with you and will be in you”
This is what God said previously; “And I will give them one heart, and I will put a NEW SPIRIT within them; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them an heart of flesh” Ezek11:19
And again; “I will give you a new heart and put a NEW SPIRIT within you; I will remove your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. / And I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes and to carefully observe My ordinances.” Ezek36:26,27
Hebrews chapter 12 refers to God as the father of spirits, plural spirits. So what if the ‘spirit of truth’ that Jesus is referring to is not the third person of the Trinity God, but is in fact, a new spirit that is born of God, in fulfillment of the statement that Jesus made to Nicodemus, that we must be born from above in order to enter the kingdom. I’m thinking he was referring to the new spirit, born of God, that would be placed within us. A new spirit that is holy because it was born of God. A new spirit, a baby spirit that must be nourished by us and formed within us with God’s help, until it’s eating meat and not just drinking milk. That might be referenced in Hebrews chapter 6.
That might explain this quote in your response; “Do you think Scripture says without reason that He jealously longs for the spirit He has caused to dwell (birthed) in us?”
…think about it and then talk to me about it
“Abomination” and none of your sick embellishment appear in Matthew 18:6. Jesus welcomed children and said to the crowd, “If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in Me—to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.”
Scripture speaks of both created spirits—angels and demons—and the Holy Spirit of the Trinity. John 14 and James 4 unambiguously use the singular form. “The Spirit of truth… He lives with you and will be in you” and “He jealously longs for the Spirit He has caused to dwell in us.”
Your notion of baby spirits is occultic and has no basis in scripture. 2 Timothy 2:15 says, “Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.”
Powell is being replaced by Ronald Lauder's son in law Kevin. Bret Baier interviewed him yesterday.
Ronald Lauder - Wikipedia https://share.google/LZ1feHqxHD6eneSrw
is he a good or bad guy?
Are they ever good?
yes, rarely but sometimes.
Meet the new boss.
Not sure if Powell is behind the expansion of the Fed Building.
Maybe needed for change to digital currency. Zero interest rates torpedoed the economy on the past. Powell may be not a member of the tribe.
does not matter who is behind it. too much extravagance for a federal building that we are paying for.
No. Never.
Another puppet of Israel.
A close pal of Butcher Bibi.
I don't understand why we (taxpayers) are on the hook to pay for the Fed's headquarters renovation. I thought the Federal Reserve was a private company owned by a consortium of big banks, let them have all the marble and gold plated fixtures they want.....and are willing to pay for from their own funds.
Of course it's a privately owned org. Much of the public still does not realize that the Fed is NOT part of our government. If that criminal banking cartel, the Federal Reserve, needs a billion dollar "headquarters" they should cough up their OWN money. The American people are their victims. Ole Powell is afraid he will not have his wipeless bidet now.
See "The Createue From Jekyll Island" by G Edward Griffith.
I’m reading that now and after about 10 pages I get so angry I have to stop. It’s going to take me ages to finish. But a really informative read
I think there is a YouTube video of that as well.
Exactly my reaction - but did eventually make it through. Important read.
Guess JP Morgan was low on cash after having to pay the victims of Epstein in a multi-million dollar settlement.
Yes, multi-millions paid out... but Trump calls if a "hoax".
Smells more like MIGA and not MAGA... especially as they are trying to cover-up a Mossad extortion operation...
It WAS a hoax, the FBI files that the Dems were clamoring for had been altered and tainted to attempt to implicate Trump. Trump trapped them, and called for the REAL files and evidence from the Grand Jury to be released, but the Dem judges have denied that request. That tells you that the Dems do NOT want the REAL evidence released. It is THEY who are trying to do a coverup, including the Mossad connection.
Good points... I assume that alteration of judicial court files is a felony...
And the certain Mossad involvement makes the cheese more binding...
I think they're broke.
How can they be broke? They haven't finished fleecing the taxpayers yet.
The Rothschilds are never broke.
agreed.
Always interesting to follow the Ivermectin doc.

NEW ARTICLE: IVERMECTIN and FENBENDAZOLE Testimonial - 57 year old California man with Stage 2 Pancreatic Cancer has incredible response to 4 months of therapy. We started:
Ivermectin 1.5mg/kg/day
Fenbendazole 1500mg/day
CBD Oil 100mg/day
--
Results after 4 months: CA19-9: 2244 to 108
Pancreatic Mass 3.6x2.5cm to 1.6x2.5cm = 80% tumor volume shrinkage
IMAhealth.org has a free downloadable pdf and lots of other information about ivermectin/fenbendazole and cancer. This is the renamed FLCCC alliance site. Great Barrington Declaration and all the wonderful doctors who saved us from the JAB!
Having been through the surgery/chemo/radiation game 21 years ago, this is a version of the way I would now go. I've been doing holistic stuff all these years. I'll say I'm not so crazy about anything "marijauna" as the sourcing is really sketchy. A lot of "medical marijuana" which can be smoked or turned into other products, has been sprayed with poisons. Just saying.
Got into a bit of a heated discussion yesterday. My 13 year old dog has a fast growing bump on her muzzle just above her nose. We biopsied it yesterday, she looked at the slide and wasn’t sure but we could send it to a pathologist just in case, for $260 on top of the $130 for the office visit and the needle aspiration. And when we were discussing whether to spend the money or not, I asked about treatment and she said if bad, chemo or radiation. I said, no, it’s not a good spot, and I would consider ivermectin and Fenbenzadole first. She got a little heated and said all those studies have ‘been debunked and said furthermore ivermectin didn’t cure covid’. Boy, she’s an MD who works in a holistic clinic. When I first went there 2 years ago I tried to get in with the holistic vet, but her practice was full. So, ended up with this doc as second best.
Now what? I realize I am worrying about something prematurely but what if it’s cancerous, there are no other natural vets in our area.
Is there a Dr Makis in the pet world?
I have worked in allopathic the field of vet med and now (the last 15 yrs) do everything holistically consulting people and aiding them in finding the right veterinarian to oversee care. I have treated cancer both ways and would never go back to chemo, radiation or the like for my dogs!!!
Do you consult long distance?
Yes Karen, I do! I will send you a message through SS tonight.
Can you message me your info as well? Thank you.
Absolutely, Holly!
I would like your info, too, please.
Sent you a message Donna!
Ivermectin and fenbendazole would be a good way to go for your pooch. Just get the dog tested for the MDR1 gene since some dogs cannot tolerate ivermectin. You can order a test online. I paid $79 and it just required a cheek swab. Ivermectin can also be used, topically (paste form) on external cancers. If for some reason you can’t use the ivermectin, you can still use the fenbendazole, CBD, turkey tail mushrooms, etc. You could also consider a very low carbohydrate food, and feeding him once a day only would simulate the intermittent fasting that has shown to be so powerful for humans in their battles against cancer. Cancerous tumors need glucose to survive, and intermittent fasting and a low carbohydrate. diet helps starve the tumors.
I also wanted to add that you can use ivermectin and fenbendazole in conjunction with traditional treatments, such as chemo or radiation, and they will make those treatments work better.
Will Falconer, DVM. He has a substack. Vital Animal News. Check him out.
Very cool. Thanks!

https://drjudymorgan.com/ Not sure what all she recommends for cancer but I know it is more holistic
Thank you!
"Here is Dr. Jones’ (Vet) advice on Panacur (Fenbendazole) for cancer: The regimen for cancer is 50 mg/kg of body weight (or 23 mg per lb), once daily for 3 days on / 4 days off."
AND:

Hope this helps!
Rph here. In dogs the IVM falls in the category of "it won't hurt, and it might help". Get yoself some
On the horse paste tube it clearly states not to let your dog have any of it!!!
Consider the dogs normal lifespan.
Definitely, all that enters in.
First you can say you want ivm treatment for your dog.
Alternatively, I would recommend getting the actual “horse paste” ivm vat a feed store. It is a cream more than a “paste.”
Put a little bit on the spot. It is like the ivm lotion for human skin conditions that doctors already prescribe for Rosacea excema and other conditions, 1.87% concentration. Human is 1 to 1.87%.
There is a reason that human creams for skin contain IVM.
Hopefully he can’t lick it off. See if anything happens.
Take before and progressive pictures.
We are testing this on a family member’s radiation damaged skin and it is repairing the skin slowly, before our eyes. We are 1 month in.
There are other skin treatments too. Eg DMSO. Maybe vet would agree to that.
My wife eliminated her Stage 2 Breast cancer taking 222mg of Fenben 3X per week. It was before we knew about Ivermectin's anti-cancer properties. She is cancer free, and still has a reduced size necrotic tumor. Oncologists think tumor size reduction is the cancer holy grail. Except for skin and uterine cancer, cancer is systemic, so eliminating the tumor does not eliminate the cancer in your body. The medical murder mafia would consider the 80 % reduction of this man't tumor a great success if their chemo or radiation had done it, even if he died. Sick but true.
We need to stop following their lead and tackle and measure cancer systemically, through great tracers such as nagalese and HCG, Human Chorionic Gonadotropen . Unfortunately, it is extremely difficult to find anywhere to test these, as the MMM knows these are cheap reliable cancer tests so they eliminated the few places that did these test's ability to source the chemicals required. The chemical cartel is The original manufacturing cartel,m also controlled by the same clique.
Dr. Navarro in the Philippines had this hcg test, inexpensive, and his website link no longer works. Looked into it years ago. So, I think you are right.
Dr. Navarro (son , actually. Daughter lives in US and took the payments) was shut down in April 2023 due to inability to get chemicals. That is where we used to get the HCG test done. Very cheap. $65 plus shipping., 95 % + reliable, so long as you are not pregnant or have s serious trauma wound. Does not tell you where the cancer is, but as I said, since cancer is systemic, it doesn't matter. These tests also blow "the tumor, the tumor" psyop out of the water too, another reason the MMM does not want people using them.
We switched to American Metabolic in Hollywood Florida. A lot more expensive, but they did more tests too, and were very reliable. Almost all the employees had been there for decades. They got shut down at the end of last year when they had their chemical pipeline starved . Very sad. I talked to woman there , and she said between the chemical cut off, and their rent tripling, the owners had to give it up. It was always run more as a service than a profit center.
So sorry to hear all of this. I’m blown away we were thinking of the same clinic.
Not really when you realize those 2 clinics, and the one we use now through Dr. Tennant to test for nagalese are the only 3 places I know of ( and believe me, I have researched ) that people can get reliable cancer testing done outside the MMM system. It is truly an indication of how totally captured top to bottom side to side the Rockefeller MMM is.
Amazon is so considerate to have quality Fenben for us.
In nice 222mg packaging! Just 20 bux for 12 doses (if my math is correct).
https://www.amazon.com/Panacur-Dewormer-Package-Contents-packets/dp/B000296N7S
I'm sorry, but I absolutely despise Amazon, and buy nothing from them. I buy our Fenben from Happyhealer.com. Amazon is the epitome of a deep state corporation designed to destroy the mom and pop, as well as medium size businesses. They morphed from a book store to selling virtually everything you could imagine, all with 100 % backing from the cabal who want to destroy us. It was what, 10, 15 years before they ever showed a profit, and yet their stock rose to the moon in that same period? Impossible, unless the uber elite are determined to drive everyone else out of business, or under their thumb. Sure they allow small producers to sell on their site, but they take a heck of a cut, and forbid them to undercut the price they post on Amazon.
This is not a personal attack on you. It is an attack on what I believe is the most evil retailer in existence that preys on a population eager for the cheapest and most convenient solution to everything .
Absolutely. Amazon is useful as a ubiquitous vendor that literally sells IVM and FenBen and can deliver next day. But ya - screw em.
Dr. Makis rocks!
I ordered the components from the Tippens Protocol from a guy on X whom I thought was Tippens. It was a scam.
Am a $400 poorer idiot, along with many others.
Fyi Tippens has no X presence. Possibly only a fb presence.
Makis is not on X either, as it is too easy to pretend to be someone on X. Makis warns everyone.
That's a bummer. Thanks for the warnings.
in conjunction with chem-therapy drugs / radiation or ALONE?
Praise be to God for this day! For my life and all my blessings! He is good and His mercy endures forever!
I am at my daughter’s house testing the theory that a watched pot never boils. She is due with our first grandbaby just any day now! I can’t even wrap my head around this blessing and the Lord’s extravagant goodness and limitless power.
Oooo, Janice! I am 17 months in with my first grandchick. It is just the best, when she sees me and drops her toys and comes running. My cup runneth over, my heart is full. Praying all goes great!
Similar experience here. Glorious!
Grandchildren!!!!!! 💯number 6 here is just 2 weeks old. 😍😍😍
Renea, my #6 is 3 weeks old and 4 and 5 are 2 years old Soo much fun.
If a boy, name him "Jeff."
It is a girl whose name only God knows at this point! 😆
Great! Girls are okay, too.
I have five! They’re pretty cool. 🥰
Keep us updated 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
Pls warn her about the unnecessary HepB (that increases autism by over 1,000%) shot they will administer if she lets that baby out of her site.
Yes we’ve talked about it. She agrees.
🙌 Thank you Jesus!
no jabs needed. God's gifted immune system will take care of us.
Congratulations Janice , 🙏💞
Getting our 1st grandson in August, our 8th granddaughter in September❣️ Have recently moved states to live close to 5 of them! 5 being raised in the Word. 4 need our prayers as well as their parents, sil Stoney, particularly. Please.
Prayers!!
What? You all didn't want her to get an abortion? How un-Democrat of you.
I am hoping that baby does not get newborn jabbed with the hideous childrens jab program. by 18 kids have rec'd 86-92 jabs. it is foul and another way to cause major problems and chronic disease in young people and SIDS in babies.
Congratulations Janice! What a blessing!
So exciting!! 😍
It is! Also blowing my mind. Even though I had seven of my own, the miracle of it all overwhelms me!
❤️❤️❤️
please don't let them jab your grandbaby with all sorts of newborn jabs.
Amen.
🙌 yes !
I will happily forgive typos in exchange for my daily fix. Thank you for continuing to give us snarky news even while on vacation!
Ditto!!!
Speaking of the Secret Service, those folks who have no self-awareness whatsoever, put out a tweet on X on about what a great job their SS snipers do.
Unless of course, there is a slopey roof in Butler, PA.
The SS is getting roasted in the comment section.
https://x.com/SecretService/status/1948539926972133447
I couldn’t resist. I had to leave a comment on X.
Ditto!
While you're there, "thumbs up" it for me, thanks.
We never got any followup on the Butler incident.
I guess there's nothing to see here?
or was it all theatre?
The SS sniper guys are probably great only when playing Grand Theft Auto.
"The SS is getting roasted in the comment section."
Good!
Unless they fired most with the new admin and replaced them????
now 2 bills in the house to eliminate drug co immunity - let's hope for success
Yes, but, sadly, they gave immunity to pesticide companies. That needs to be stripped.
and the one calling for censorship in this article is bad news.
I’m willing to have the DOJ charge Obama and all the rest. What’s bad for the country is for them to get away with this. Who cares whether the media is covering it. That’s irrelevant. Obama, Comey, Brennan, Clapper and the rest need to be charged. Let them get lawyers and have their day in court. If the DOJ can’t prove their case then they all walk, but they must be charged and they must stand trial. The allegations against them are serious and MUST be investigated.
No one is above the law! Isn’t that what we heard for the last 5 years?
agreed. 4 scumbags walk into court and zero come out.
This is all great until we find out that there is a Statute of Limitations that may deflate all of the rising enthusiasm.
The conspiracy to hide continues, so the statute has not yet run out. This has been covered.
There is no statue of limitation on treason. Someone is putting that out there, but that is a lie.
Btw there was a statue of limitation on sexual assault accusations in NY, and the NY representative changed the law so they could charge Trump with rape after 30 yrs.
You think We the People are going to let Obama, Comey, Brennan, Clapper and the rest off that easy?
Have you not been paying attention? We’re taking our country back. These treasonous traitors will be given their day in court, but they WILL be charged because We the People will demand it.
The clock for statue of limitations start upon the last overt act. So we don't need to worry about that.
And if it’s not already past the time then they will drag it out until it is too late. And if they ever went to trial there lawyers will be paid with taxpayer money so you and I will be paying for their defense.
We see how much effect that outrageous attorney fees (to me, not to lawyers) have on a person's wealth. Charge Obama - maybe he will have to sell 1/3 acre of his Martha's Vineyard seacoast mansion to cover his own attorney fees. Although there should be a few steadfast Dem supporters willing to put out a few more bucks to help keep Obama solvent.
Once again…CLASSIC post even under vacay pressure!!!
The Cambodia/Thai is MUCH more than a minor skirmish! See this post from former Green Beret, Michael Yon. It has to do with CCP, routes, belt and road, "KRA Isthmus Canal", etc. CCP wants Thailand compromised and out of the way for a massive canal project. See his substack for more info: https://michaelyon.substack.com/p/jai-yen-thailand-and-cambodia-war [Note: he has some strong positions on other topics as well, but his insight and knowledge are very tight on this type of international interaction.]
Thank you for this. I was going to ask if this was a case of "the issue isn't the issue"; fighting over a tourist spot is too casual an excuse for an escalating conflict.
Yes! I am always interested in what Michael has to say. He warned us a long time ago that this “ immigration” was truly an invasion. He reports about the Darian gap in Panama, at the effort of the Chinese, to streamline entry of military age men into our country.
I say share it and split the tourist monies since the holy shrine is important to both. that is what I would do. no old relic should be getting innocents killed.
Michael Yon is based.
I just realized I haven't been getting him lately, need to ck on that.
The guy seems to be very knowledgeable.
It’s time for the New York Times to be recognized as anything but a newspaper.
The classification of ‘newspaper’ gives it immunity under the First Amendment. They continue to publish stories that are opinion and not facts throughout their product without labeling it ‘OPINION’… opinion is printed within the Editorial Section of the paper.
The DOJ should take the New York Times to court and let the Times defend the undefendable.
I started subscribing to the WSJ 45 years ago. It was a financial/business newspaper. It is now a rag. I quit that publication, which is NOT a cheap thing and bought a subscription to C&C. I'd been a freeloader for long enough. I happily spend the money here and it's less that that useless liberal rag.
Same here. Every article reporting on WSJ confirms my decision!
Excellent move… just like your WSJ move was 45 years ago.
The NYT headquarters would make a nice shelter for homeless, drug addict, sex offenders. Oh, wait, it's that already!
Lease it, on the cheap, to Jerome Powell. Seems like he thinks he needs more space.
Move them into the soon to be available Dept of Education HQ.
perhaps they could take the extra building ahole powell referred to and house some of the homeless there for now. why should that entitled pos get all those amenities. my tax dollars, my say.
Atta girl!!
And is the FBI bldg available too?
Isn't Kash Patel going to raze the whole place on day 1?
Oh wait, he's a swamp monster now.
Yes, it seems that Kash, Bongino and Bondi all bend over for Bibi's banana.
Trump too, obviously.
Or maybe the first renovated fed reserve building?
Too nice. Just give them big dumpsters outside of town.
For the short term, they could build something like alligator alcatraz to house them and provide food and help until better circumstances are found and/or built. Our veterans should not be living on the streets.
Exactly: vets first. The others can live at landfills.
they already do.
Eek.
It has more than usual free speech protection, I think. There was a case in which the NYT made up lies about a town's racial policies (decades ago) and the town took them to court. Through all the appeals, I think all the way up to SCOTUS, it was established that 1) the NYT was lying 2) it had harmed the reputation of the town and some of its officials 3) the NYT was free to continue the lying.
Somehow the usual defamation exception to the first amendment doesn't apply to newspapers.
Not sure if someone on here knows the details, but it's pretty bad.
The American Pravda.
"Truth."
I have said the past the NYT should change its slogan from “all the news that’s fit to print” to “all the propaganda we want to print”
How about the Dirty Rag?
Happy Friday! Pray for peace. Thailand and Cambodia are beautiful countries.
Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder! These are beautiful countries filled with people full of demons!
They've been at war so many times over the centuries it's not funny. All they need is an excuse, and viola! The Kingdom of Siam was/is what it was for a reason.
But holy moly, Thai politics are insane!
As Yuri says, beautiful countries. As beautiful as they come, really. I've spent a lot of time over there for work in Southeast Asia. Blessed and entitled to be able to do so and enjoy it. No more, nor do I miss the 24 hours of sky bus. No Thank You!
Most people who started wars with the Thai's/Siamese regretted it.
An aside, during the Vietnam conflict, the only people the VC and the NVA were worried about were the Thai Army contribution, and where were they were in the country. They played the NVA's game better than the NVA did.
Trump's actions on the homeless and mentally ill is one of his best moves yet, and he now has a LONG list of excellent actions and accomplishments. Allowing that situation to continue as is while sending billions to countries that hate us has been an awful stain on this great nation. I hope the impact is meaningful and swift. Long overdue. Thank you President Trump!
Yes, our veterans most especially need the help and rehab.
Yes. Some homeless want to be that way. Not sure if it’s psychological issues or drugs. I say, fine, you want to be homeless, ok, but go be homeless somewhere that won’t disturb the rest of us. I don’t want to sound uncaring but it’s all gotten too far out of hand. Jeff hit the truth when he said it’s about the money all the supposed “helpers” are getting. They don’t care about bit about the homeless as long as the money keeps flowing. This is probably another situation where churches would’ve stepped in and outcomes would probably be better.
Churches do step up, you just don't see it unless you look at churches budgets. In our community a new tiny home community for homeless seniors has sprouted up and is funded in great part by churches, orgs, and individuals giving monthly donations and helping to build the homes. Of course, any grants these projects manage to get for start-up is key, I won't downplay that.
In blue cities, unfortunately, a lot of churches contribute to the problem. When we lived in Seattle, it was common for churches to take turns “hosting” tent cities in their parking lots. The laws at the time said they could stay in one place for up to 3 or 4 months before they had to move on to another spot. Some congregations would also collect donated tents for the homeless. They had to be brand new, of course!
Churches used to be islands of refuge in a sea of uncertainty, but a lot of them are full of ultra bleeding heart liberals now.
Catholic Social Services has been pretty busy trafficking illegals into the US for the past four years.
I guess we should all be grateful that they have branched out and away from exclusively abusing little boys and now also facilitate the abuse of little girls too. That’s DEI in action folks!!
Oregon coffers will be hurting with this homeless funding change. The State does the very opposite of best practices for the homeless. The woke guv will just dig in her heels but Trump's plan is the best chance for the homeless. Oregon's red counties figured how to get around the State's liberal policies, so we look nothing like Portland when it comes to homeless, and we offer good services to those wanting it.
IMO, his domestic actions have mostly been great.
His international actions... other than the trade deals... FUBAR.
Gabbard is serious. She just fired the IC inspector general, apparently a person who, instead of being a watchdog, was a consummate fixer. "Tulsi Gabbard just did the one thing no one expected—and everyone in power feared: She fired Tamara A. Johnson, the Acting Inspector General of the Intelligence Community." https://toresays.com/2025/06/21/she-fired-the-firewall-tulsi-gabbards-war-on-the-shadow-chain-of-command/
Wow. And Tulsi is definitely serious, no question about that. Remember how Hillary tried to paint her as a Russian asset?
And then she was put on the "Quiet Skies" list, prompting additional security screening before flights.
VERY smelly that Trump ignored her truthful analysis that Iran was not close to building a nuke (or ever wanted to)...
And went ahead and did his criminal, unprovoked bombing of Iran.
Small wonder that this time around, Trump serves Israel First.
I believe that she is so honest she does not worry about what her actions look like or how they will cost her. This is the same woman who sold all of her stock(as did her husband as well) before she entered the House of Representatives, so that no one could accuse her of voting a certain way for her own stock portfolio.
I think she's fine... I would have preferred that she had come out strong against Trump ignoring her true intel assessment of Iran's nuke program... and his subsequent criminal bombing of Iran...
But I'm sure that would have cost her her job... so, is understandable.
Hoping the Fed starts getting the attention it truly deserves. Just crazy that it's got that much power as a private institution.... I doubt Powell will drop rates soon, just because he's pretty hard-core anti-Trump, but when the rates do drop it will be a great thing for US citizens. Looking forward to that.
47 truly feels the need of the public… ppl can’t afford a starter home! How Trump handled the weasel was priceless and a fabulous ‘visual’ for the ppl!!
Question: why does President Trump never need to use reading glasses? Anyone else notice that? Grandma Powell had to fumble out his glasses to read that. . .
My dad had perfect vision all of his life (he died in his 80s) so it does happen…
It’s crazy, isn’t it? My mom doesn’t wear glasses and she’s 93. I have 40 pairs of reading glasses around this house. I blame computers.
Good observation. Vlad Putin is like that too. All those boys are old as dirt.
