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 †

Acid test for “Pro-Life politicians”: Do you support Personhood legislation for the Unborn?
Yes, yes, yes…
Central Standard Time and the digital readout says 2:54 A.M. As the 2nd comment on the board I would like to take the time to thank “Citizen” and Garrison Hall for all the posts that accompany this nightly interlude of sleep. Thanks to all at CTH for the middle of the night focus and return to sleep.

I’m going to just leave this right here
Excellent report by Rob Schmitt on Newsmax.
This strikes me as needing far more technical talent impressionism. Avante Garde seems a great excuse for lack of ability.
I saw where Sundance had tweeted a ling to an article about how India’s military is superior to China’s in mountain warfare. This makes total sense because the primary external threats to the national security of India, China and Pakistan, all come from the east or IOW over the Himalayas, the highest mountain range on earth.
As a former mountain warrior I’m here to tell you that Alpine Operations above the tree line are about as tough as it gets. I have no doubt that a considerable number of posters here, being older and life long flat landers, wouldn’t even be able to tolerate visiting the higher elevations where those troops are facing off, let alone doing anything physical there. I couldn’t anymore and I’ve climbed the three highest mountains in Europe. Weather changes quickly above the tree line and can quite suddenly become deadly to those not prepared to deal with it.
Even helicopter support is very limited. When our troops went after the rags in the mountains of Afghanistan they had to stage to adapt to the altitude and only the big two rotor CH-47 helicopters could support them because even the powerful UH-60 Blackhawks were about useless. When the Russians were in Afghanistan they refused to pull operations in the higher elevations thus ceding that terrain to their enemies as a safe haven where they only had to worry about jets attacking them. That turned out to be a grave tactical error.
So in that terrain a special breed of horse adapted for living in the high altitudes becomes an essential support element. Back in the 80’s I attended the Austrian Army Mountaineering school “Hoch Alpinist” https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/austrian-military-high-alpinist-76077873
we were taken one day to a stable where the Austrian’s raised that special small breed of horse. The Austrian officer in charge proudly told us that the stables were funded completely by the sales of those horses to India’s Army. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haflinger
BTW I am not on twitter. I came across the tweet at Rantingly.
reh, great info, thanks. I think even cars & trucks have to have the carburetors calibrated differently don’t they?
If they use carburetors, which hardly any vehicles do nowadays. Fuel injection technology has significantly improved the internal combustion engine’s altitude adaptability.
Thanks GB, I guess I let it out how long it’s been since I looked under the hood or paid attention to motors, lol.
And also the use of turbochargers, added to boost the air input to the engines, helps improve engine power at higher altitudes. But it’s a whole separate topic.
Truck drivers working through the Rocky Mountains know the loss of power that comes at higher elevations with an engine tuned for normally operating in lower elevations. Variable vane turbochargers along with fuel injection and other refinements have minimized that power differential / power loss.
Among your several amazing attributes rah, you are not on twitter. God bless!
Not on FB either. Have no intention of being on either ever.
India’s military has been consistently operating at high altitudes literally for decades. This is something they’re quite good at. Moreover, the Indian military’s long experience means they also have a sizable active reserve high altitude experienced soldiers. Just as India isn’t afraid of Pakistan, neither is it afraid of China.
What Grace Is
By Pastor Cornelius R. Stam
Never let the devil deceive you into supposing that God planned sin as “a gracious means to a glorious end,” for then salvation from sin would be simple justice, not grace. No, you cannot legitimately charge God with your sin. It is to the guilty, the undeserving, far and wide, that God offers “the forgiveness of sins according to the riches of His grace” (Eph. 1:7).
There are two significant phrases in Eph. 2 which shed clear light upon the character, the nature, of grace. They are found in Verses 2 and 3, which speak of the unsaved as “children [Gr., huiois, full-grown sons] of disobedience” and “children [Gr., tekna, born ones] of wrath.”
Meditate for a moment on these phrases: “Children of disobedience” and “children of wrath.”It is against this dark, black background of deserved wrath, that we read further:
“BUT GOD, who is RICH IN MERCY, for His GREAT LOVE wherewith He loved us,
“Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us [given us life] together with Christ (BY GRACE ARE YE SAVED),
“And hath raised us up together and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
“That in the ages to come He might show THE EXCEEDING RICHES OF HIS GRACE IN HIS KINDNESS TOWARD US THROUGH CHRIST JESUS” (Eph. 2:4-7).
Somehow it takes a load off one’s heart and mind to come to the end of his rope, as it were, and admit that he is a sinner, deserving God’s wrath. How sweet to the ears of such is the wonderful message of redemption by grace, through the finished work of Christ at Calvary. We were all the “children [full-grown sons] of disobedience”: and therefore “by nature the children [born ones] of wrath”: “But God!” When hope seemed gone, He intervened and now offers salvation to all by grace, through faith.
“Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved” (Acts 16:31).
https://www.bereanbiblesociety.org/what-grace-is/
Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Ephesians 1:7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
Ephesians 2:2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)
6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
7 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
Acts 16:31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved…”
1 Corinthians 15:1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Mornin’ infidels!
Mornin’ WeeWeed! Perfect post! Thank you for all you do, and hope all is well at Treehouse.

Great day to be an infidel again (comrade just didn’t feel quite right = )!
The cartoon does a good job of being succinct. Thanks for posting it over here.
Best…
Mornin’ Citizen!
Nice. Do they come in six-packs?
Mornin’ H&HC!
Before looking at the “news flashes” I will say mornin back atcha. Usually after the news, I’m forced to say mournin…………
MAGA
Truth!
Mornin’ Rah!
Good morning but here it’s afternoon now WeeWeed. Hope your doing well. I finally got the call. Take off at 19:30 for Romulus, MI with an empty. Then I drop the empty in a door up there, hook to a loaded trailer and take it to the Leer cross dock in Indianapolis. There I drop the loaded trailer in a door and transflow in the proof of delivery and bobtail back to home. If I’m lucky this will be the only load I do this week,
Mornin’ WeeWeed!
Mornin’ DI!
The current situation is very liquid. There is a potentially explosive and destructive outcome from choosing the wrong side here, versus a very enjoyable outcome from the right choice.
I like mine chilled….
Morning WeeWeed!
Me too! Mornin’ Bari!

John 12:32-33
32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto Me.
33 This He said, signifying what death He should die.
There’s a way back to God, from the dark paths of sin.
There’s a door that is open, and you may go in.
At Calvary’s cross is where you begin, when you come as a sinner to Jesus.
I think this door’s design was intentional and stands as a silent reminder of our Lord’s sacrifice. Have a blessed Son-filled day everyone!
TY duchess01 for being the messenger for all of these wonderful posts. Num 6:24-26
Wonderful Post, P!!! Most welcome!!! My pleasure!!!
Amen!
A wonderful verse to remind us of what the real plan is, as opposed to the overload that is thrown at our senses (in this world) as a means to obfuscate and distract.
Thank you for the reminder!
Demonic Distraction for sure, Citizen! I believe that is why ‘we are not of this world’ – we were make by Him – to serve Him – and return to Him – the world is our workplace – until we clock out for the last time – imho
Thank God – I am just the messenger, Citizen – these verses are posted by someone through divine inspiration.
And I am glad the messages keep coming.
Also, I would agree. We are here to “balance the books” in this world and then return to where we came from.
Thanks again.
Most welcome, Citizen. God Bless Your Day!!!
Ours was the first revolution in the history of mankind that truly reversed the course of government, and with three little words: “We the People.” “We the People” tell the government what to do; it doesn’t tell us. “We the People” are the driver; the government is the car. And we decide where it should go, and by what route, and how fast. Almost all the world’s constitutions are documents in which governments tell the people what their privileges are. Our Constitution is a document in which “We the People” tell the government what it is allowed to do. “We the People” are free. This belief has been the underlying basis for everything I’ve tried to do these past 8 years.
But back in the 1960’s, when I began, it seemed to me that we’d begun reversing the order of things — that through more and more rules and regulations and confiscatory taxes, the government was taking more of our money, more of our options, and more of our freedom. I went into politics in part to put up my hand and say, “Stop.” I was a citizen politician, and it seemed the right thing for a citizen to do. I think we have stopped a lot of what needed stopping. And I hope we have once again reminded people that man is not free unless government is limited. There’s a clear cause and effect here that is as neat and predictable as a law of physics: As government expands, liberty contracts.
President Ronald Reagan January 1989
For most of my life I have heard the left and right extremes as Communist and Nazi. But that isn’t a line it is 2 descriptions of a dot at the very end of the line. The line begins at chaos and ends at the dot of total Government. Our great government is a constitutional republican government a limited government. Far enough from chaos for civil society and yet very far from total government control. This great concept and constant balancing act, provides the highest level of freedom for humanity. As President Reagan said, “there’s a clear cause and effect here that is as neat and predictable as a law of physics: As government expands, liberty contracts.” Freedom is being hunted here in the last asylum.
O ye that love mankind! Ye that dare oppose not only the
tyranny but the tyrant, stand forth! Every spot of the old
world is over-run with oppression. Freedom hath been
hunted round the Globe. Asia and Africa have long expelled her. Europe regards her like a stranger, and
England hath given her warning to depart.
O! receive the fugitive, and prepare in time an asylum for mankind.
Thomas Paine 1776
“Where the Spirit of the Lord is there is liberty”
The Apostle Paul formally Saul of Tarsus
Great post, Alrisu! Love it!
“Freedom is being hunted here in the last asylum.”
In the same vein, Sundance perfectly named CTH, “The Last Refuge.”
Trump is describing our slow, deliberate, drift into fascism. Once that happens liberty and freedom will die. Just as we saw this intent in Trump, he also saw an identical intent in us.
Therein lies our alliance and partnership.
Well said Garrison Hall.
. . . but deliver us from the Evil One.

DO IT YOURSELF
DETERMINEDLY DEMOLISH SOME THINGS:
“Casting down imaginations and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God.” 2 Cor. x. 5
Deliverance from sin is not deliverance from human nature. There are things in human nature, such as prejudices, which the saint has to destroy by neglect; and other things which have to be destroyed by violence, i.e., by the Divine strength imparted by God’s Spirit. There are some things over which we are not to fight, but to stand still in and see the salvation of God; but every theory or conception which erects itself as a rampart against the knowledge of God is to be determinedly demolished by drawing on God’s power, not by fleshly endeavour or compromise (v.4).
It is only when God has altered our disposition and we have entered into the experience of sanctification that the fight begins. The warfare is not against sin; we can never fight against sin: Jesus Christ deals with sin in Redemption. The conflict is along the line of turning our natural life into a spiritual life, and this is never done easily, nor does God intend it to be done easily. It is done only by a series of moral choices. God does not make us holy in the sense of character; He makes us holy in the sense of innocence, and we have to turn that innocence into holy character by a series of moral choices. These choices are continually in antagonism to the entrenchments of our natural life, the things which erect themselves as ramparts against the knowledge of God. We can either go back and make ourselves of no account in the Kingdom of God, or we can determinedly demolish these things and let Jesus bring another son to glory.

Mr_Mayhem, I shared your link with my daughter who has a lot of social contacts. I’m sure others here at CTH will help spread the word, too. Keeping Shane and his family in prayer, believing for a full recovery.
I would like to let our American cousins know that on this great holiday of yours, you are not alone.
Here in Scotland we have a great web site dedicated to the true Catholic faith.
I would like you to visit the website where we are supporters of President Trump and praying for the defeat of Satanism as proposed by Catholic in name only Joe Biden and his Marxist running mate.

I hate to seem shallow BUT… I’ve been scrolling through the mugshots of Portland antifa rioters in Andy Ngo’s Twitter timeline and…
am I the ONLY ONE who thinks they are some ugly looking people?
Especially the women (the ones that actually ARE women, not the transgender impersonators) are just plain fugly. Not a single one comes even remotely CLOSE to being “cute”.
Could this partially explain WHY they’re complete loons? Deep seated self-hate?
Here are just some of them, as examples:

Since I don’t shop in that aisle I will have to take your word for it!
I’m 74, so I’m just window shopping. Ha I like the actors in the old movies who look like real men.
I bet you’re a Burt Lancaster fan!
Nope. Never was. My favorite has always been John Wayne. Right now I have a huge, huge, crush on Dale Robertson.
Wow. Just hearing Dale Robertson’s name takes me back in time. I spent many Saturdays watching reruns of his movies on TV. Same with John Wayne.
Two of those photos prove that space aliens live among us.
Only two?

If this is true then the barr/durham situation is as big a scam as the kung flu !
Peter Strzok Claims He Has Not Been Interviewed By John Durham, Says He Expects No More Indictments in Spygate Probe (VIDEO)
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2020/09/peter-strzok-claims-not-interviewed-john-durham-says-expects-no-indictments-spygate-probe-video/
Has that creep ever told the truth about anything??
I totally understand – strzok is a perfect example of “if his lips are moving”
but for him to have said this in a recorded interview is still very concerning.
I hope you can understand

Hanoi Jane claims Ivanka Trump “laughed” at her Global Warming nonsense… And?
https://wattsupwiththat.com/2020/09/08/hanoi-jane-claims-ivanka-trump-laughed-at-her-global-warming-nonsense-and/
Back in the 1990-91 I was an instructor at SOMED (The Special Operations Medical course) at Ft. Sam Houston, TX. There were still Hanoi Jane urinal targets in many urinals there. The institutional memory of the Army can be long, especially in a place where there are a lot of vets still working. I have no doubt that Jane Fonda’s image holds the undisputed record for being on the largest number of urinal targets. I think you can still buy the things.
Rochester police chief retires amid allegation…….excuse me, put did I see the drug PCP mentioned regarding Prude?
“”Physiological effects of high doses of PCP include:
a drop in blood pressure, pulse rate, and respiration.
nausea, vomiting
blurred vision
flicking up and down of the eyes
drooling
loss of balance and dizziness
violence, suicide””
PCP was also known as monkey dope.

Even so, the arresting officers showed ZERO COMPASSION for a distressed person. They forced hum to lay naked on the street while it snowed, and laughed at him. I can’t think of a more dehumanizing way to treat a person. How much effort would it have taken to at least give him a blanket?
Though it may turn out that those officers arent responsible for his death, I do not believe they belong in a position that involves either “Serving” OR “Protecting”
DITTO for their leadership for attempting to cover up this heinous behavior. Retirement or Resignation is TOO GOOD for them. Termination and loss of pension comes to mind.
And THIS is coming from someone who thinks that Rodney King WAS resisting arrest and posed a threat to the officers who subdued him with force.
Snow?
Yes. The ground wasn’t covered with it, but you could see it falling lightly in the video, and it was confirmed later in accounts of that night.
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.
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
Amen
Amen.
Rarely have I posted much over the last 5 years. Most of the time it was because my thoughts had already been articulated.
Commenting has become more common for me here. I want to say it is a privilege to be a part of this community. It is reassuring, comforting and positive. It has spurred me to rediscover my relationship with God and pray daily.
It is with great pride that I share this site with anyone who will listen. I love America deeply and it is reassuring to know all of you do too.
I am so grateful to Sundance. Surely, there is a Presidential Medal of Freedom in your future. Ad Rem and each of you are very special to me.
Year ago when I frequented Andrew’s site, I used to say “A day without Andrew is like a day without sunshine.” Now it’s The Conservative Treehouse.
