Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

citizen,
WOW !Thank you for the super cutest love thought of the day. God Bless us all.

Thank you Garrison! Perfect timing for me – oh to be that young again!
Recommend reading “Windswept House”, by Fr. Malachi Martin. Written in the mid 90s as ‘fiction’, it quite remarkably posits a most troubling explanation for what is going on in today’s churches. Not to mention, who and what is directing events on a global scale…
Just when I think it is not possible to hear anything more preposterous than I heard the day before…
Curtis Bowers has a very good YouTube video detailing the history behind that communist infiltration of the churches that he published about a month ago.
Here’s a link. https://youtu.be/4HHLcH2rado
Mornin’ WeeWeed!
Another great day to be an infidel!
Won’t see you later, but wanted to say, “hello!”.
Turn it up!
May not see you Friday as well…you and yours are in my prayers.
So:
Mornin’ WeeWeed! (for Friday)
Still a happy infidel, and a huckleberry:
Have a good weekend.
HAPPY BEACH DOG CURSDAY…
Have a blessed day with your canine pal!
So precious, thanks Lucille! Those fur babies are wonderful blessings!
You’re welcome, littlequilterkitty! The second photo cracks me up…crazed-eye look…hahaha!
Thank you for posting, Lucille. I love the second one, too. Looks like it might be a Louisiana Catahoula Leopard Dog, which is a cool breed. My German Shepherd and I were in a training class with one once; it was huge.
YW, SRT392! I think you may be right on the type of dog…
Hmm, or a Dalmatian. I’ve only seen them with brown eyes, but apparently they can have blue.
Don’t know how much longer this video will be available (remind me to download it now)
PROOF: Antifa shooting of Trump supporter in Portland WAS an ASSASSINATION.
Watch, step by step, as Prayer Patriot, Aaro n “Jay” Danielson, is targeted by Antifa killer, Michael Forest Reinoehl with the cooperation of Black Lives Matter associates.
All of the explanations of every recorded action and statement on the extended video makes perfect sense. The cameraman is part of the Team, documenting the event.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HTRXP1R6ZQk
Very surprised about lack of comments on this atrocity. This latest video is best of all of them, as it shows Reinoehl and fellow killers staging for the ambush. I wonder if they had commo of some kind.
The subtitles are quite correct. Watch the skateboarder at 4:08 – 4:12. He’s 5 feet behind the shooter and when shots are fired he doesn’t run. Doesn’t drop to ground. Doesn’t even flinch. He calmly steps off the board and takes a few steps away.
As soon as the black car carrying operatives stops, skateboard guy jogs back to his board, picks it up, and then shines flashlight on street, with head down, looking for something. Empty brass? Maybe Reihoehl didn’t have access to a revolver.
This guy seems to be looking for SOMETHING and scoots as soon as he makes a visual sweep with the torch on. Reinoehl is long spirited away to a hideout.
Take a good long look. This was carefully planned by people with no fear of killing and no fear of being caught. They counted on no one wanting to get involved and they were right. Except for the guy who insisted the filmer turn the info to the cops.
This is what we’ll be facing. Train, study, and arm yourself accordingly. Beware of things and people around you. Those three guys doing nothing near the bus stop and not looking at you might be looking at you. The two rough, thuggish looking guys with tear drop tattoos near their eyes who just squeezed into the elevator at the last minute, where you’re alone holding your bicycle, really do want to steal it. Bolt before the door closes and you end up having to explain what happened to LE.
🙂
Father ,we thank you that your hand is upon our president mightily,we cover him with the precious shed blood of Jesus Christ,and decree and declare Zachariah 2;5 over him and his family..Let the fire of your glory surround them and that no witchcraft,no voodoo,no hex,no vex,no curse no power,no principality and no demon in hell shall prosper against them.Father we ask that you dispatch legions of your warring angelic hosts to destroy every plot and plan of the enemy.Father let your anointing rest strongly upon him at all times and our nation is brought totally back to you.Father ,we praise you,we glorify you in the name above all names ,Jesus Christ,King of Kings,Lord of Lords and soon to return Messiah,Amen.

Amen.
czarowniczy ,
Hello (I am still working a bit tonight, and so I thought I should check-in).
It may be a little time before we get a chance to speak again, and I wanted to say thank you. You literally “boiled my brain” on our last dialogue, and I am grateful.
Please have the best couple / few days ahead, and we will catch-up later.
Sincerely,
Simple Citizen

The Birth That Gave Gentiles a Shot at Redemption
“But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth His Son, made of a woman, made under the law, To redeem them that are under the law…” (Gal. 4:4,5).
Paul says Christ entered the world, “…to redeem them that were under the law” (the Jews). We are born to live, but He was born to die. That fateful night long ago will echo this wonderful truth to the end of time. Namely, the wooden feeding trough that the lambs frequented cradled the Lamb of God, who would one day hang upon an old rugged Cross. Why? That He might redeem “…us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree” (Gal. 3:13).
But what does all this have to do with us Gentiles? Much in every way! First and foremost, we learn from Paul’s gospel that God’s plan of redemption wasn’t to be limited to Israel. Hence, Paul received a new revelation that “God was in Christ reconciling the world unto Himself” (2 Cor. 5:19). Christ gave Himself a ransom for all (1 Tim. 2:6). Moreover, the law, which condemned Israel, also pointed its bony finger into the face of the Gentiles declaring that we, too, were under the sentence of condemnation. Consider these solemn words:
“Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God” (Rom. 3:19). If God’s chosen people were unable to keep His righteous standard, should we suppose that we would have fared any better had the Gentiles, been placed under the law? Christ has redeemed both, Jews and Gentiles, from the curse of the law. Today, then, we are saved by grace through faith alone! We walk by grace alone, and will one day be caught up together by grace alone!
So then, while God’s plan of redemption was gradually unfolded, Paul was given the secret of the gospel, which is Calvary. He is the first to reveal the significance of what God was doing in Christ. In other words, Paul explains why the virgin birth was essential, that a provision was made for all at Calvary, that forgiveness is through the blood of Christ, how that we were redeemed from the curse of the law, etc. Although dispensational distinctions are extremely important, may the Lord also give us an understanding as to the importance of the connections between the two programs of God.
By Pastor Paul M. Sadler
https://www.bereanbiblesociety.org/the-birth-that-gave-gentiles-a-shot-at-redemption/
Galatians 4:4 But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, 5 To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.
Gal 3:13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:
2Corinthians 5:19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
1Timothy 2:6 Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.
Romans 3:19 Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.
“First and foremost, we learn from Paul’s gospel that God’s plan of redemption wasn’t to be limited to Israel. Hence, Paul received a new revelation that “God was in Christ reconciling the world unto Himself” (2 Cor. 5:19). Christ gave Himself a ransom for all (1 Tim. 2:6).”
All of this correspondswith the message Peter received from above and carried to the Gentiles as recorded in Acts 10 and 11 about the sameness and lack of distinction of how the Gentiles were saved (by grace through faith, cf. Acts 15:7-11).
“Moreover, the law, which condemned Israel, also pointed its bony finger into the face of the Gentiles declaring that we, too, were under the sentence of condemnation.”
Lest the “bony figure” image which the writer evidently connects with the Law leave any misimpression, let’s see how Paul casts it in Romans 7:12 — “So indeed, the Law is holy, and the commandment is holy and righteous and good”. Paul continues in the next verse: “Has that which is good then become death to me? Never may it be! But in order that sin might be shown to be sin, it is working out death through that which is good to me, so that through the commandment sin might become sinful beyond excess.”
The relevant issue that was being addressed, therefore, appears to be not about the attributes of the law, but about fallen man and his completely unsuccessful record from Adam onward to keep the law to the perfect standard which God requires. Acts 15:9 notes in answer to the question before the council for both the Gentiles and the Jews (whose law keeping record outside of Jesus is made clear in Psalm 14:3 and Romans 3:10) that God “purified their hearts by faith.” In Acts 15:11, Peter answers his own question: “No! We believe it is through the grace of our Lord Jesus that we are saved, just as they are.”
The answer was found not in man’s successful keeping of the law after having fallen short of it, but through Christ and His grace. Romans 5 continues the emphasis not on man’s record but on the record of the One Who demonstrated singular obedience to the law to the perfect standard of God: “For as by the disobedience of the one man, the many were made sinners, so by the obedience of the One, the many will be made righteous.” (Romans 5:19).
Again, the emphasis leads away from what a man should be or should not be able to achieve given how God describes His law in Deuteronomy 30. Instead, it leads to the actual perfection that Christ achieved, which is good since it is the righteousness of Christ in which His people are to be clothed, and is all that can justify us in God’s sight. This appears to set aside the matter of achievability of law-keeping for current man, as does the resolution of the matter in Acts 15.
“Although dispensational distinctions are extremely important, may the Lord also give us an understanding as to the importance of the connections between the two programs of God.”
In addition to what was noted from Romans 7, Paul wrote to a group of believers who apparently were being led into error (cf. Galatians 3:1-5) about the nature and purpose of the Law:
Galatians 3:21-25 — “Is the Law therefore contrary to the promises of God? Never may it be! For if a law had been given being able to impart life, then righteousness indeed would have emerged from out of the Law. But the Scripture imprisoned all things under sin, so that by faith from Jesus Christ, the promise might be given to those believing.
“Now before faith came, we were held in custody under the Law, having been locked up until the faith being about to be revealed, so that the Law has become our trainer unto Christ, so that we might be justified by faith. And faith having come, we are no longer under a trainer.”
In accordance with all of this, it is indicated that everyone of ‘those believing’ who received salvation by grace through faith — from Genesis times (cf. Gal. 3:16) until the time of the Gentiles (cf. Romans 11:25, Eph. 3:3-7) — were recipients not through the law but through Christ and are ‘heirs according to the promise’:
Galatians 3:26-29 — “For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male and female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. Now if you are of Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, heirs according to the promise.”
Make calls, go door knocking, put signs up, write postcards, send money to candidates, there is so much to do, and so little time. Help out, get busy, and pray like your life depends on it.
Pray like your life depends on it, for sure, and for so many reasons.
Yes.
Happy Cursday, Treepers!!

China has a stated goal of at least equaling US military power by 2050 and preferably exceeding it. They’ve been pretty good at it, in the 90s they bought US contractors who had subcontracts with certain defense contractors. That gave them access to information on the entire assemblies up the chain, info they couldn’t get otherwise. These was also that incident where exact duplicates of servers made by a major US IT company showed up to replace existing ones as they broke, only for us to discover they were made in an unnamed and unfriendly country. The servers not only fed the data through as it was supposed to but also routed it somewhere else at the same time. Lost a helluva a lotta classified defense data there.
They also bought top-of-the-line military equipment from other countries. Most of these items are somewhat less efficient export models but they provided a modern base and saved them the R&D time of developing the system while giving them a modern base to build off of. They also bought ‘broken’ US military equipment from whoever found it. Cruise missiles that crashed but didn’t blow up, military aircraft and helicopters (think bin Laden raid) that crashed, US drones that crashed (Iran?) and my fav, the F-117 that was shot down in Yugoslavia in 1999. Puts ’em way up there in the game.
The DoD has released a sanitized version of the classified internal report that tells readers where we are in relation to China’s military strength and it looks like they’ve whomped us in missiles and ships. They have well over 1200 ground-launched ballistic missiles and ground-launched cruise missiles with ranges of from 500 to 5,500 kilometers and zero GLCMs.
China has the world’s largest Navy with 350 ships and submarines and 150 of those are major combatant ships. The US Navy has 295 ships. China’s also building these while building much of the world’s merchant fleet while the US has closed shipyards. Our Naval modernization under Obama was dismal (remember the number of ‘dead’ aircraft carriers we had in port at one point?), Trump’s been trying but the Rats in Congress are fighting it and the next four years look sucky too.
China has also surpassed the US in air defense, matter of fact it has the world’s largest air defense system…shades of Cold War Russia. It has a robust mix of Russian S-300 and 400 systems as well as a ‘robust’ mix of homemade ground defense systems. You can bet they’ve not only set these systems up for national defense but has integrated them with its naval and ground forces using the US’s doctrine and how they saw our air power being used in battles over the last 30 years.
There are more systems that wren’t mentioned in the open report, their researchers are working on long range counters to some of our force multipliers that work well outside of the FEBA, really neat things. While Trump is interested the Rats want to put the funds into other programs, they want to further reduce the military. As much of the Chinese leap forward occurred under Rat leadership it looks like the Chinese goal of bettering the US’s strength will come true if we get a Rat-controlled Congress or White House. China is well on its way to its other goal of replacing the US as the world’s dominant power.
Well, first of all you were right the other day when you stated that you had a good post coming with regard to a DOD report and China.
Second, I knew only a little bit about the information you are giving us all here. To some extent, I wonder how it may also link with our conversation on space dominance (especially the force multipliers).
The one thing we still do have that the Chinese do not (although as I understand it, the work is already under way) are overseas bases. They do not quite (yet – notice I am saying yet) have the ability to move forces around the globe in quite that same capacity as we do. So if the Rats are not permitted into the conversation for the next 4 years, we may still be able to modify enough to be on par or have a slight advantage.
From our other conversation, I still believe that we do this to ourselves over and over again. We literally build our own enemies through dumb policy decisions and a lack of forward thinking . Having said this, does it help me sleep at night? No. To simply believe this and cite history changes nothing. Voting and being supportive toward level headed leaders is about the best remedy I can think of or running for office, which I cannot do at this time, so I will go with the first choice.
The figures on air and naval dominance probably were the most alarming to me as I would have thought that we still had an edge in these areas. Couple this information with the knowledge that we no longer produce all of the parts needed for our own military hardware, and would have issues is we go to war with any nation that actually does the production; very discomforting indeed.
What also does not help me sleep well on this topic is the replacement of the SWIFT system that both China and Russia have been working toward. Even if we never have (and I pray we do not) a military confrontation, there are other ways in which those nations wish to challenge us. Now I am all for natural competition; however, I prefer it is done with ethics and transparency. This would not seem to fit the current situation.
President Trump should keep re-defining our relationship with China during his second term.
this deserves another listen tonight..
with the way the moon has been the last two nights.. just a feeling..

Huh. Was more outrage around her about Barr’s inverview with Wolf Blitzkreig than the Antifa assassination of Aaron Danielson on a busy downtown Portland street.
This is a wonderful playlist of “Fake or Fortune” where Fiona Bruce teams up with art expert Philip Mould to investigate mysteries behind paintings. Each video I’ve watched so far has been riveting and very informative. If you’re looking for something different to watch, you’ll find these episodes to be time well spent.

RIP Tom Seaver!
I was 17 when I first heard my “amazin’ Mets” made him part of the “lovable losers” our city had rooted for from the beginning. And Tom Terrific became one of the keys to bringing the World Series championship to us in only their 8th year of existence! He and his wife Nancy will always be The First Family of the NY Mets! I send my love to all the Seavers. A great pitcher, husband, father, and above all, an American icon! RIP, Tom.

THE WATERS OF SATISFACTION SCATTERED
“…Nevertheless he would not drink thereof, but poured it out unto the Lord.” 2 Samuel xxxiii. 16
What has been like water from the well of Bethlehem to you recently – love, friendship, spiritual blessing? Then at the peril of your soul, you take it to satisfy yourself. If you do, you cannot pour it out before the Lord. You can never sanctify to God that with which you long to satisfy yourself. If you satisfy yourself with a blessing from God, it will corrupt you; you must sacrifice it, pour it out, do with it what common sense says is an absurd waste.
How am I to pour out unto the Lord natural love or spiritual blessing? In one way only – in the determination of my mind. There are certain acts of other people which one could never accept if one did not know God, because it is not within human power to repay them. But immediately I say – This is too great and worthy for me, it is not meant for a human being at all, I must pour it out unto the Lord, then these things pour out in rivers of living water all around. Until I do pour these things out before the Lord, they endanger those I love as well as myself because they will turn to lust. We can be lustful in things which are not sordid and vile. Love has to get to its transfiguration point of being poured out unto the Lord.
If you have become bitter and sour, it is because when God gave you a blessing you clutched it for yourself; whereas if you had poured it out unto the Lord, you would have been the sweetest person out of heaven. If you are always taking blessings to yourself and never learn to pour out anything unto the Lord, other people do not get their horizon enlarged through you.

September 3rd Devotional
Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser and her radical task group DCFACES are recommending the federal government “remove, relocate or contextualize” numerous historical monuments and statues they say represent “a long history of systemic racism.”
May I suggest if this petition ever gets to the President – that he put on a face mask –
with a similar style to mock Ms Pelosi – and then stand up and rip up the petition with
the same indifference the she showed at his State of Union speech.
Here’s an idea.
How about we turn D.C. into a National Park, or monument, or something, and not allow any “residents” at all.
All the residential areas can be turned back over to Maryland or Virginia, whichever they originally came from. All the business areas, hotels, etc. can remain as is.
Kills two birds with one stone. No need for “representation” of D.C in CONgress, and no stupid hack politicians required to run the city.
California legislature has passed a bill that would lessen the consequences for a gay person having sex with an underage person. If the underaged person is between 14 and 17 and the age difference between the actors is less than 10 years the judge may use his/her/gender neutral term discretion as to placing the offender on the sex offender registry. The bill was introduced by State Rep Wiener (D) – and I ain’t going there – was passed in both the State House and Senate and is on its way to the governor’s desk where it will surely be signed.
The early Communists had doing away with all bourgeois sexual laws, especially those pertaining to minimum ages of consent. We’re on our way.
You ever read this one? It is interesting.
I’m not thinking homosexuality was any more prevalent in the Nazi Party than, let’s say, the Democratic Party.
I’d always wondered about Adolf ignoring Röhm until his gayness was used as an excuse on the Night of the Long Knives. Even then the Night was an action by Himmler to crush the SA’s growing power and put his SS in the position to be THE power next to Hitler. Has two uncles caught up in that SA purge but they came out all right.
Hitler needed all of the support he could get at the beginning and he turned a blind eye to his gay supporters, an early ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’ but as he solidified his control they didn’t fare any better than the Jews or Gypsies.
Definitely think you are right on all accounts.
What the book contends is that Hitler was in a bizarre position based on running with (essentially) a return to values platform (Weimar having been an anything goes place that would make the Dems blush). Yet, Hitler had Rohm who was a part of his support. There is some speculation that Hitler, himself, may have dabbled and that Rohm was holding it over his head during the rise to power.
It is an interesting read, and I think the author can be found on YouTube summarizing the text if you want more of an express synopsis. There is a bit more to it all, but I am really short on time.
Great to hear from you; gotta run.
I was somewhat interested in the book until I saw the price on Amazon…and no local libraries have it.
There was a lot of speculation about homosexuality in the Reich, especially the SS due to those ‘homoerotic’ pictures of buff SS men exercising in groups. At that time there were also a lot of pix of buff German women exercising en mass too, the theme was the superiority of the modern Aryan body but by showing just the guys the revisionists could tar the SS with gay slurs as they showed the pix. Hard to recall that back then being gay was a social accomplishment.
The Flintstone’s had a gay old time…..
Boots,
Yes and no.
In the 1950s they were the cartoon version of the Honey Mooners.
In the 1960s and beyond, it got very different. Like the nation.
Great to see you here Boots. Please be well.

After we move from this area and I unpack my books, you are more than welcome to borrow my copy; I will pay for the shipping to and from you. Simply take your time, then send it back when you are done (no rush).
When I pasted the book into my post, I was not looking at the price (sorry about that); I was just thought that the book was a good add on to your initial post and I do agree with authors such as Goldberg and D’souza that the Democrats are both the old and new fascists (as “Wilson Progressives” and now ANTIFA).
Your post and that idea hit me, then I remembered I had the book in storage for the move, quick cut / paste, and “BOB’S your uncle”.
It will be late in this year / early in 21, but we will move, I will unpack the box, and I am happy to lend out the book As I said, the author should be here or there on You Tube discussing the topic as well if you are interested in the meantime.
…………..Hitler was perverse as well………….’same difference’………..strange flesh…it is written……………
I am sooooooooooooooooooo glad I’m no longer with the SO’s civil section, I hated doing evictions but the mess we have now is a disaster. The sheriff should provide free booze at the end of the shift…if not before and after.
An eviction is draining, both emotionally and time-wise. If the residents haven’t moved their stuff we gave them time to gather up their personal items, get dressed, and deployed a paid team of movers to extract everything they owned and place it on the property between the street and the sidewalk. It was then their responsibility to somehow move it and/or secure it.
The moratorium on evictions ended and landlords hit the Civil Clerk’s office with buckets of eviction requests…only to have the CDC issue its new moratorium that has judges scratching their heads as to how to interpret it. Now each and every case is going to be argued using the CDC’s fuzzy instructions, putting the decision right on the judges head and opening up court to clogging and expensive appeals regardless of how the judge decides. This is worse than a mess.
The Orleans Parish Clerk of Courts, whose office first gets the requests, is a black Democrat and is seemingly taking the side of the landlords…I wanna see how he explains that come election time. Meanwhile a lot of landlords are continuing to work with their tenants rather than fight thru the courts – I’m betting we’re going to see a lotta landlords writing off lost rent come April 15th. That’s going to hurt the state come tax time too. Other landlords are just going to roll the dice and carry buckets of eviction requests over to the Clerk’s office and see what they can get to work with. Whatta mess.
czarowniczy,
Still pressed for time, but I got a moment. Will get to the bigger conversations on the globe a little later.
First, I would agree that the losses on the state income tax could be extremely high. Further, I am not even sure what unemployment may be like, by you, right now. Factor in the potential for storm damage and just overall house arrest ramifications of en economic type, and it could be rough. Will keep a good thought for the people of Louisiana.
What I wondered was about the mortgage defaults and whether you had to deal with removing people in these instances? Also, I wondered if their were auctions and tax lien sales to deal with?
(not asking from an investment standpoint, I just wondered if you had experience in these type of things)
The District of Columbia has one sale per year (normally in June) and it is, unfortunately rather depressing. Many of the tax liens are a result of a failure to pay taxes by extremely wealthy individuals. The process for eviction and possession can take forever, so if you buy a tax lien certificate, it could be many, many years before one sees a nickel (never mind the 15% interest).
Well, gotta get back to work. Speak with you later.
Best,
Simple Citizen
NOLA lives on minimum wage, service industry jobs. Pre-COVID median income for NOLA was listed as $28,600 for a single person BUT as the bean counters play games they also include incomes from some of the wealthier suburbs within 25+ miles of NOLA. Unless they’re trying to show income inequality and then they stick closely to just the poorer neighborhoods inside of the city.
There are many poor folks who also work off-the-books/under-the-table jobs for cash, I used to run into them all of the time. Getting a handle on unemployment here is like grabbing a greased pig.
The landlord/tenant dance has always been on the card here, this COVID problem has just raised the tempo as the min-wage jobs that depend on waves of tourists for the sports and festivals have been smashed as the venues all close. The off-the-books work seems to be creeping back in but it’s that sea of min-wage jobs that needs to be back in flow, thousands of hotel, restaurant and bar tenders – not to forget street performers and legitimate musicians – have been out of work for months and need either the tourists to flood back or there to be more free Federal money. These workers are leading the eviction wave with the blue collar ones not far behind.
Thing is that those tourists who spend their disposable income on NOLA vacays are going to be short of cash too until they rebuild their losses from the COVID so we’re not going to see a lifting of the economic problems here anytime soon…but the city’s not saying that.
czarowniczy,
Still working, but now at home. We have a lot of great conversations going, and I will try to re-circle on them all; however, it may be tonight, tomorrow or the weekend. Thank you for all of it.
This particular conversation hit me. Although I have only been in your state twice in the 1990s, I do like my history and know how important Louisiana is to our nation.
Without Louisiana, there literally is NO, distinctively American music. The arts, the knowledge of scientific research, our government’s intelligence services, culture, and cuisine are greatly formed by Louisiana. To even consider what you are saying is the current state of things, is very troubling indeed.
Certainly from my vantage point, I have nothing to suggest or even, positively, add; I simply have not been there in too long a time. Although my bucket list includes a trip fto Jazz Fest, it would seem that we are on hold for this idea for now.
My prayers simply go out to everyone there. Louisiana is so important to our past and can still be very important to our future (good people, sound minds).
Best,
Simple Citizen
Just pointing out some of the problems in living in cities run by the New Southern Democrats. Oh wait, the poverty, ignorance and overall economic malaise in the innercity areas is the fault of Reagan, Bush 1& 2, Trump…had they not been in office we’d be eating rainbow stew and drinking free Bubble Up.
Wow! Free Bubble Up! Sounds excellent.
Has the fallout from the flooding ever been turned around, or is the region still feeling the economic effects of Katrina all those years later?
Also, would you say that there are very heavy levels of corruption at the state and local levels that prohibit the state from growing economically?
When I think of Louisiana (random list off the top of my head), I think of the fishing industry, jazz, the Kennedy assassination (but that is simply because I enjoy studying history), Senator Huey Long, French or a mixture of the French language with native culture, I guess Mardi Gras, Tulane University, nice people, heat, mosquitoes, beautiful old buildings, lots of sunshine and very complex / spicy food. What I fail to think of is an industry outside of fishing, the arts, scientific research and / or the government.
What am I not taking into account here? What are the other prominent industries of the region / state? Any help would be appreciated.
Trust me that I get your point about the inner city, and simply will pray that folks find interests, move on up in life and the economy turns around. There has to be other citizens, like yourself, who are knowledgeable and have a wide range of diverse interests. Leadership from these people could be a spark for new industries or other ideas, but to think this way I am probably missing a whole lot or misunderstanding quite a bit (which is the great curse of Washington, District of Columbia, a vast bubble that keeps people in an unrealistic dream about the rest of the nation – mea culpa); I will continue to pray for everyone in that area and I am relieved that last week’s storm was not a major issue for the region.
Nikki Hailey.
Mitch McConnell just let me know Republicans FAILED to reach their August fundraising goal, putting our GOP Senate Majority AT RISK.
Mitch Chow for Senate.
Why ? Why is Mitch communicating or including someone who is no longer a part of government with the Progressive Nikki Hailey who is responsible for the start of removing everything American and it’s founding?

On this day in 1783, the Treaty of Paris officially ends the American War of Independence. The British delegation to the peace conference is so perturbed by their country’s defeat that they refuse to pose for a painting of the signing ceremony.

WHICH ONE OF THESE VIDEOS SOUNDS MORE RACIST TO YOU?
Exhibit A
Exhibit B
From my humble observation, I notice that the first one emphasizes being true to one’s self. The second seems to do the exact opposite.
On the one hand, let this dirtbag Reinnoehl keep spouting off and incriminating himself. On the other hand, he damn well be under arrest soon.

REINOEHL INTERVIEW AIRS TONIGHT, 9/3, ON VICE LINK ABOVE
Lying mofo! If it was self defense why did he run!? He ran because it WAS NOT self defense. Heck! The ambush call signals are on tape: “We got one here! We got a Trumper right here!
And right after “We got a Trumper right here!” Reinoehl says “Right here?” and without waiting for an answer fires. A 1/4 second before that an unarmed (keep harping on that) Danielson saw the gun and used the only weapon he had. Pepper spray. Against a handgun.
NO ONE ON TAPE SAID “WATCH OUT, HE’S GOT A KNIFE!”. IF a knife was found it was planted by the clean up crew that bolted from the black charger.
This POS is straight from Satan’s kingdom.
This is a preemptive strike to establish his defense. It’s quite possible he’s already talked to a criminal defense attorney and is following a script. The probability he’ll get arrested is anyone’s guess. And if tried, maybe the prosecutor will throw the case. Or maybe a jury of his Antifa peers won’t convict.
He’s a sociopath. Lies as smoothly and easily as he breathes.
“Self defense”? Bullshit. The ONLY person who acted in self defense was Danielson. His pepper spray was on it’s way to Reinoehl before Reinoehl fired.
“Friend of color”? Bullshit. No one ran from the scene except Reinoehl, the skateboard guy after a visual of the immediate ground, and a hoody guy who ran like hell from the shooting while Reinoehl was still backing up.
Hope the new DA isn’t Antifa like the last DA was. You know if a Proud Boy ambushed and killed Antifa or BLM, the Proud Boy would be in jail with no bail.

The COVID may just change the NOLA French Quarter much as Katrina did.
The City cancelled the Southern Decadence Parade, a Labor Day holiday dedicated to the LGBQ(…..) community. It’s one of the biggest and oldest gay pride festivals in the US and provides a healthy chunk of the yearly profits to the bars in the Quarter, especially on Bourbon Street. So far this year the virus has caused the cancellation of every function after Mardi Gras and has cost the city dearly in jobs and tax revenue.
Now the city’s refused to allow the gay bars on Bourbon Street reopen and the bars’; owners are furious. With all of the festivals and conventions from Mardi Gras thru probably Christmas cancelled the bar owners have been hit particularly hard and if the gay bars can’t at least open for local customers it’s looking bad for their survival. Bourbon Street sans cheapo, noisy, expensive bars, where’s the charm?
Yeah I would imagine a lot of bars and restaurants will be closing in New Orleans this year, which is too bad.
As a conservative libertarian, I may not care for all the businesses in this world, but as long as they are not specifically hurting anyone, then they have a right to conduct their work in peace, as well as be as prosperous as they can be.
Although apples and oranges, there are many restaurants and bars going away in the D.C., Maryland and Bethesda as well. Personally I do not read the local rags ro watch the local news, but the misses does check the weather and found that the Bezos bunch at WP was (almost gleefully) keeping a tally.
It was not pretty and most of the closures would be considered “mom-and-pop” businesses or local chains (very few of the big boys were closing up and even if they closed a location, they are still in business overall).
lilbirdee12’s prayer:
Our Heavenly Father, Your children come to you tonight to ask for healing and peace throughout our country so that we may return to being One Nation Under God. Guide us to be leaders in Your Kingdom, spreading Your Love and Salvation to all. Forgive us our sins and deliver us from evil.
Lord, we ask for a blanket of protection over all our troops and law enforcement who serve to defend and protect us. Bless our representatives with the strength and wisdom they need to achieve the path You have chosen for us.
Please place Your Guardian Angels of Protection around Donald Trump and Mike Pence and their families as they seek to lead America back to You. Also, we pray for Angels to protect and support our Sundance as he works for justice and peace.
Grant us patience, Lord, as the evil ones try to anger us and cause us to fall.
Spread blessings over Israel and Netanyahu.
We humbly ask that You please comfort those who are grieving and in pain.
Thank you Father, for Your Love and the gift of Life.
In Jesus name, we pray. Amen.
Amen.
A prayer for Justice Kavanaugh and Gen. Flynn:
Prayer to St. Michael
St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle;
be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray;
and do you, O prince of the heavenly host,
by the power of God,
thrust into hell Satan and the other evil spirits
who prowl about the world for the ruin of souls.
In Jesus name, we pray. Amen.
Amen.
Amen
There are at least 6 other people who were involved in that assassination of Danielson. Hopefully they’ll all wind up the same way or spill their guts to reveal the brains and source of funding behind this evil effort to destroy America.
