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 †

Invitation to a Ball
I have really developed a liking for the K Dramas – Thanks for the link to Viki – now I can watch Goblin.
I can get my husband into SO many dramas, but he couldn’t handle Goblin. I adored it as an art film, but he couldn’t watch Meow, either, which is another art film. I ran thru as many viki dramas as I could before giving in and taking the membership to get rid of commercials. Then frustration hit again and I went up to the Plus level. It’s the best use of $10/month I can remember. Besides the fun of them, I’m enjoying comparing cultures in a way I never thought to understand. Much more fun than just reading about them. Every morning husband and I compare what we learned from the dramas we each watched separately. I’m having an absolute ball with these.
‘Anderhalvemetersamenleving’, or Social Distancing, Dutch Word of the Year
https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2020/12/15/anderhalvemetersamenleving-or-social-distancing-dutch-word-of-the-year/
Antisocial distancing is a more accurate word, but our language is corrupted and we just “parrot” what we hear.
The Key To A Worry-free Life
By Pastor Paul M. Sadler
According to doctors at the Good Samaritan Regional Medical Center in Phoenix, Arizona, rattlesnakes thought to be dead can still strike, bite, and kill you. Doctors in Phoenix said they have a large number of patients admitted each year suffering from bites from rattlers thought to be dead. Sometimes the snakes were shot and their heads cutoff; but, the snake head retains a reflex action. In fact, one study showed that snake heads could still make striking-type motions up to sixty minutes after decapitation.
Satan, that old Serpent, was defeated at Calvary—his head was cut off. Hebrews Chapter 2 says that our Savior, by His death, destroyed him who holds the power of death. But for a season Satan can still strike and wound us. He can still hurt us and poison our relationships and spread his deadly venom into our homes and lives.
Paul admonished the Corinthians to take great care in this area, “Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices” (II Cor. 2:11). Although this may have been true in the apostle’s day, we are not sure it is the case today. It seems to us that many believers are unaware they are under attack. Satan can be very subtle and his devices are well planned. While his devices take on many forms there is one in particular that he uses quite effectively— worry! If the enemy can keep you off balance in this area he can successfully hinder your service for the Lord.
WORRY “Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” —Phil. 4:6,7
Do you worry? I didn’t think so, but there are some who struggle with this problem. Paul says, “Be careful for nothing.” In our modern day language we would say, “Don’t worry about anything.” The Greek word behind the term “careful” here is merimnao, which means to pull in different directions, to distract. This is exactly what worry will do to you—it will tear you apart both emotionally and physically. It can be one of the leading causes of ulcers, which is something else to worry about!
Worry always dwells on the future in regard to what may or may not happen. It mulls over every worst-case scenario imaginable until you are tied in knots. We might say it this way: the past belongs to the ages, the present belongs to us, but the future belongs to God.
https://www.bereanbiblesociety.org/the-key-to-a-worry-free-life/
Hebrews 2:9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.
Hebrews 2:14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;
2Corinthians 2:11 Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.
Philippians 4:6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Thank you for sharing. I brought me a measure of comfort this morning.
It’s Cursday, Treepers. Pet your puppies for me. 🙂 This is a favorite dog-rescue video. I like it because it’s about a little girl who wants to save a sick pit-bull and the resulting bond that forms between them. This is a story that never really grows old because it’s basically about the human spirit and an animal’s bond and devotion to a little girl. Both get saved by the experience I think. This little girl, who in the video is maybe 3 or 4 years old, displays some absolutely sterlings values which are obviously the result of the loving upbringing of her parents. This is a story about love, about partnting, about love of animals and love from animals. It checks all my boxes . . . 🙂
Just a thought on election security, CISA, SolarWinds and that clown Krebs.
I’m a little shocked that the feral goobermint, with thousands of people working in IT security, yet CISA, which stands for Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, got hacked.
It’s shocking when you think the Antrim County election devices were over 2 years behind on software updates to their systems. That alone demands that every Dominion system in every county in the US be investigated for that problem alone. It’s shocking because you have to wonder just what the hell a Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency actually does on a daily basis. One would think they would be like other feral entities and issue reports, alerts and bulletins on how to keep devices secure.
I work for an entity in which we are required to update the software on numerous systems on a monthly basis, or more often as needed. These are not suggestions, but mandates. Those systems are scanned for security holes or patches needed. Anything over 30 days is called out. Anything over 60 days, and the leadership at higher headquarters is involved.
Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency gets hacked and elections systems used in 28 states may be used in a federal election in which those systems are 2 years behind on software patches?
Krebs needed to be fired. He needs to be prosecuted next.
True enough. The guy’s may be slick, but he’s still full of s**t. Anybody who knows anything about research methodology can take this guy apart. No wonder Trump fired his ass.
The problem is that you have these old senators that don’t know IT from the back of their heads and can’t question these guys in a reasonable manner to trap them in their lies.
Problem is the senators are parasites. They are harmful more than helpful.
Our government is a den of thieves nothing more.
Has anyone seen ANYTHING come out of congress that is useful in the last 20 years? For us I mean not them.
Krebs WAS fired, a month ago…
If this guy is even half right, well, we’re in trouble beyond our worst nightmares.

Founder of vaccine safety website, ex-pharma insider found dead
‘If something were to happen to me,’ Brandy Vaughan wrote in late 2019, ‘it’s foul play and you know exactly who and why.’
https://youtu.be/ttrtAmW_NC0
Just say’n… 😉
She described how she came home from Sacramento to find a key to her house, which she had previously hidden in her bushes, out on her doorstep. “That day I had my locks changed and I installed a $3,000 alarm system two days later,” said Vaughan.
She was later informed by her alarm company that someone had set off her alarm at 3:45 in the morning and immediately disarmed it with the master code, which Vaughan said no one had but her. Whoever entered proceeded to walk down her hallway, setting off the monitor sensor, and opened and shut her dining room window before leaving the house at 3:49 a.m.
“After the incident I talked to some security experts who have actually done intimidation for corporations, and they said, they were probably tapping your place.”

Gandalf The White (Lord Of The Rings Song)Main chorus theme and original LOTR tune by: Howard Shore
This is awesome.
There’s a fantastic arrangement (6 movements, 2 per film) of Howard Shore’s original score reworked and performed live. “Lord of the Rings Symphony” It’s on iTunes “21st Century Symphony Orchestra & Chorus” Ludwig Wicki and Howard Shore.
Usually, movie score albums are broken into scenes or vignettes, or maybe character themes. This one is like listening to the movie minus the dialogue. It’s seamless, each movement is 10-30 min of continuous music. Movements 2, 4 and 6 end with live vocal performances for “In Dreams”, “Gollum’s Song”, and “Into the West”.
‘;Hello all! First time on the computer since operation.
Update: First post since surgery which started at 14:00 Wednesday, the 9th.. Things were more complicated than they thought so I was under the knife for 5 hours. The larger diverticulum on my bladder was nearly the size of the bladder and the left ureter had fuzed to that diverticulum. So the doc had to separate that mess and put two temporary stints in that ureter.
Pathology on all is the best.
When I came too after surgery I had a main incision that runs from a little above the belly button, around the bellybutton and down to my pubis. It took 23 staples to close. I had a small incision for a drain on my left side and another small incision for Foley cath that runs through my abdomen wall and into my bladder. Plus I had the regular Foley cath. My boys were swollen about 6x their normal.
They took the drain out on Friday morning.
I was doing well my first two days of recovery and then all of a sudden I lost my appetite and they had to put me on an antiemetic. It was like I had picked up a case of the stomach flu. Finally on Tuesday I was feeling somewhat better and had some decent bowel movements. No bed pan for me thankyou, I got up and went to do my thing in the normal way. So I was released to come home after the dock pulled out the 22 French Foley Cath which was to say the least a very painful thing. I was getting shots deep IM of a pain reliever and taking hydrocordone for a while. Also getting a subQ shot of Heprin every 8 hours while in the hospital.
Yesterday my lovely wife and caretaker cleaned my wounds. She had to quit for a time halfway through and fainted but got up and finished the job. Says she never had a problem doing such things to other people when she worked in a nursing home years ago but doing it on me was a completely different story.
So here I am at home with this superpubic cath. I am regaining my appetite but my smell and taste are screwed up. No COVID. I have been tested twice. It’s just the effect of the drugs I have been on I guess. It’s like the chemicals are exuding from my pors. But eating and getting out of the hospital are two big steps on my way to recovery.
I have been working on mobility and am doing well pacing around with cath bag in hand. Swelling of my boys is coming down pretty quickly now.
Lots of pain over the last week but I am coming back and getting better every day. My sleep patterns starting to get back to normal after many sleepless nights. I have not taken the hydrocordon for pain since Monday.
Thank you all for your prayers and concerns. This old soldier ain’t done yet.
rah, geez, what an ordeal. Lived w a Trucker for almost 10 yrs, so have grown fond of your descriptive writing. I feel I know you a bit. Sorry you had to go through all of this, but it does sound as if you’ve had good care.
Really good to know you are off of the hydrocodone…can be nasty stuff, although a blessing when needed.
Good to know you are up and waling around. Good soldier!
.
I have walked some every day since the operation, including 150 ft. after arriving to my room from recovery at the hospital. They really fight to get you on your feet quickly. I even brushed my teeth and with the help of an excellent tech that told me she had been at it for 23 years, got a sponge bath the day after surgery.
All in all my care was very good in the hospital. It was obvious that the vast majority taking care of me were there because they care and not just for a paycheck.
My biggest problem was with my doctor when I started getting sick and could not take my PO medications for a day, But we got that straightened out and he finally agreed to let me stay in the hospital until I could take medications by mouth again. He was going to send me home on Friday and I just couldn’t see how that would work.
Thank the Lord, Rah. Was worried and asked about news on your event over at Stella’s.
Good to hear you are doing better, glad you are back.
Truckers are bad maamma jaammas!
God Bless You, my brother. Speedy recovery and full health. This Country needs people like you.
Good to hear your recovering. Heading out now to haul some garbage.
Praying for your speedy recovery.
So glad to know that our prayers are working! Blessings to you and your wife ~ keep up the good job! ?
😀
That is so awesome. Thanks for sharing.

Trump could declare the election stolen and refuse to leave in light of voter fraud. Trump, is after all, the chief law enforcer, the justice-in-chief, the president of the USA.
There are a numberous ways Trump could do this, EO, the constitution, etc.

REDEMPTION CREATES THE NEED IT SATISFIES
“But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him.” 1 Cor. ii. 14
The Gospel of God creates a sense of need of the Gospel. Paul says – “If our gospel be hid, it is hid” – to those who are blackguards? No, “to them that are lost: in whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not.” The majority of people have their morality well within their own grasp, they have no sense of need of the Gospel. It is God Who creates the need of which no human being is conscious until God manifests Himself. Jesus said – “Ask, and it shall be given you,” but God cannot give until a man asks. It is not that He withholds, but that is the way He has constituted things on the basis of Redemption. By means of our asking, God gets processes into work whereby He creates the thing that is not in existence until we do ask. The inner reality of Redemption is that it creates all the time. As the Redemption creates the life of God in us, so it creates the things belonging to that life. Nothing can satisfy the need but that which created the need. This is the meaning of Redemption – it creates and it satisfies.
“If, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto Me.” We preach our own experiences and people are interested, but no sense of need is awakened by it. If once Jesus Christ is lifted up, the Spirit of God will create a conscious need of Him. Behind the preaching of the Gospel is the creative Redemption of God at work in the souls of men. It is never personal testimony that save men. “The words that I speak unto you, they are spirit and they are life.”
Oswald Chambers
December 17th Devotional
The addiction of readers to Twitter helps illustrate why nothing, at the end of the day, will come of all this election fraud. I remember 7-8 years ago signing up for a Twitter account wanting to see what it was all about. My impression then never really changed: it’s a site for people with poor attention spans who are easily distracted and incapable of maintaining a continuous stream of thought for more than a few seconds. Over that period of years, I maybe tweeted a few dozen times, never saw the value, and deactivated the account last May.
This is playing out over on the Presidential thread as a commenter this morning posted well over 20 Twitter re-tweets in span of 2 hours across a dizzying array of topics, none of which provided any useful information. It’s like watching a seizure on the internet. Granted, I am admitted non-user of Twitter, but isn’t there a re-Tweet feature IN TWITTER? He seems like a decent chap, but lots of decent chaps have been consumed by the beast that is Twitter.
One of the fascinations I have is that many of the reports on Twitter actually require you to go to another page where there may or may not be useful information. Sometimes, Tweets are just someone howling at the moon and then listening through the darkness for a howl in return. It doesn’t signify anything other than “I am over here, and you are over there.” Other times, I’m supposed to be impressed that somebody named Soandso said something. Now, I never heard of Soandso, and there’s no actual reason why Soandso’s supposedly clandestine insider knowledge is valid. But, you know, “it’s out there” and “seems legit” are what passes for critical thinking today.
Another aspect of Twitter is that nobody has to do any actual thinking or cognitive processing. It’s pure simulus-response, like that old The Far Side cartoon. This eliminates a few uncomfortable nuisances like the need to verify something is actually true. (In logic, this is a fallacy known as the argument of ignorance. Something is not true simply because of a lack of contrary evidence.) It also separates the Tweet from the responsibility. “Well, hey, it’s just something some other dude said. Not my fault if it’s wrong.” Another pesky nuisance, of course, is confirmation bias – it’s true because I want it to be true. Lastly, anonymity gives to people the power to fabricate identities that are wholly unverifiable. Is that guy really an ex-spook with 35 years of IC expertise and insider contacts? Or, is he just a kook who conned a few people early on, and now it’s an article of faith despite his continual inability to get anything right?
Lastly, and and this sums up why this election fraud stuff probably isn’t going anywhere, is how many people who view themselves as conservatives complain about censorship on Twitter (and Facebook, and Google/YouTube). You’ll have to forgive me for snorting with disdain every time somebody screams into the void that Twitter is fascist by tweeting about it on Twitter. Or, they re-Tweet it here (because nobody is listening to them on Twitter) and everyone complains about the “disputed information” tab…which only advances Twitter’s objectives. This tells me that people are just mindlessly screaming about things they don’t really mean, and are not going to do anything about. Because: inconvenience. Or, because it’s the only meaningful contact they get in life which is a sad commentary on the meaning of life.
Was there massive election fraud that changed the outcome of the election and put a guy whose family is on China’s payroll into the White House? Absolutely. No question. Why will nothing be done about it?
The same reason conservatives aren’t quitting Twitter.
hokkada, that was epic, and thank you so much for a well written observation and analysis. So spot on, especially the part about “conservatives”. In fact I think some who are still allowed to tweet feel that they’re somehow special. THEY are still there. THEY get to be in with the big boys. Reeks of hypocrisy when they complain about censorship and free speech, and still use Twitter, justifying it because of “numbers” or something.
This is why I admire Revolver News, they are on Gab and promote Gab, where Andrew Torba has sacrificed his comfort and convenience to provide a true free speech forum for all. Yes, there is someone who is a Revolver fan who tweets on their behalf, but they are not connected to Revolver.
Totally agree. There are conservatives complaining about YouTube now. Do they move their YouTube channel over the Rumble or somewhere else? It would be easy to do, after all. Just have a YouTube page that has a link over to your real channel on another page.
But they don’t…which makes me wonder what their real game is about.
“which makes me wonder what their real game is about.”
Institutional “conservatism” (and I use the word loosely and sarcastically) is all about losing comfortably. Whining, not winning. Outrage porn and stuff like that.
I coined the term “conservative inc” 10-15 years ago. Others have picked up on it since. Once I realized what what going on, I felt liberated.
Whoa, that was you who coined that term? Kudos! I’ve used it many times myself.
I was thinking a bit about our discussion today and I realized that for some reason or other, Conservatism Inc. (or institutional conservatism) actually thrives on losing and makes a ton of money from it. Why be a winner if losing is so much easier and is wildly profitable?
I like to look out across the conservasphere, at different sites and forums and the fundraising is massive right now. It makes no never mind to me what people choose to do with their money, as long as they realize that they’ll get more of whatever they reward. (Reward losing, you’ll get more of it, and how) That’s how it works.
Right after the election, I was listening to an obscure podcast of conservative dissidents and they predicted that the aftermath of the election would be drawn out as long as possible to enable all sorts of grifts and emotional manipulation to take place. in order to squeeze every last dime possible out of the deplorables. And what do you know? It certainly seems to be playing out exactly as these guys predicted. I’m stunned. They even predicted how the Supreme Court would act, right down to saying that Alito and Thomas would be the two dissenting voices. And there it is. Holy Cow.
I did, and I always wish I had framed that post. Back in the mid-00’s National Review Online had a vibrant commenter community that was every bit as great as the one here at CTH.
Somewhere around 2008 or so I got more involved in local conservative circles, and noticed they were all buying each other the same books…lots of books. Those books all had similar sounding titles either destroying the Left or American-restoration types of stuff. They kept handing me the same books to read, and I realized, “This is actually an industry.” They were generating content for consumption. Nobody actually believed any of it, and their public protestations about their “conservative values” rarely translated into votes for actual conservatives or the advancement of conservative legislative goals.
It was after one of these think tank events that I realized it was a money making charade. You could tell, for example, who was paying for the column in NRO based on who wrote it. Mona Charen always wrote what the Bush Family wanted. The open borders and globalists like the Koch’s were always paying for French or Williamson to pen columns. On the radio, Hugh Hewitt was clearly Establishment GOP all the way. Flash forward, and people often forget that Mark Levin absolutely HATED Trump prior to the election and for quite awhile afterwards. I flat-out stopped listening to him. Now we have new generations of Conservative Inc such as Ben “The Liberals Have a Point” Shapiro. He got famous sounding intelligent while insulting college girls at campus forums and getting the videos posted on YouTube, “Watch Ben Shapiro totally DESTROY a Liberal snowflake!”
If Rich Lowry over at NR had to live off of subscriptions to National Review, he’d live in a modest split-level ranch 3 hours west of D.C. Anyway, I commented for weeks at NRO about “Conservative Inc.,” and never let go of the term. Other commenters started using it. Since it was very common for our comments to find their way into the contributor columns, as well as non-NRO media, the term caught on. NRO The Corner blog was widely read in Republican/Conservative circles. There were maybe 20 of us who were the true regulars. Col Travis, LadyChristina, Zman, and some others. When NRO pushed Romney on us, the break started. By the time Trump came around, the regulars were openly mocking the contributors, so NRO killed their commenters, threw us all out, and put up Facebook commenting and pay walls.
People use the phrase all the time now. Conservative Inc. made a ton of money, but they conserved nothing.
Your instincts about Conservative Media are spot on. A lot of folks here at CTH have not caught onto this yet. Twitter is a huge problem here. I wish the mods would block it, but I don’t think they will. If you look at the “news” links people post, most of them are either circular-reporting what others have written, or they’ve tweaked some other story to make it sound like “breaking news”, or they’re just posting outright rumors and saying stuff like “Well, gosh, imagine if that were true!” except it’s not.
When Conservatives started to abandon traditional media – newspapers, cable news (Fox is gone), Conservative Inc. Media like The Weekly Standard and National Review – the ADVERTISERS needed a way to generate clicks. So, these “conservative media” outfits have sprung up everywhere to try and get ads in front of eyeballs. It’s all business-driven. They need a way to sort of compel us to see their garbage, but nobody is watching ABC or reading the NYT any more, so we get Newsmax and The Epoch Times.
And Conservative Inc. rolls on…
Btw, if you dig into the substantive comments on CTH, you’ll find a fairly robust (but largely ignored) number of commenters who said from the beginning that the Court was not going to hear that TX case; that Roberts was already gone, that Barrett got through confirmation too easily, and that Kavanaugh and Gorsuch were suspect at best due to some questionable rulings last year.
But that doesn’t feed the hope-meters, so we get called trolls. Ditto what is going on in GA which is pure Conservative Inc. / eGOP nonsense.
Why?
Just like you said: fundraising.
This is all about money. Unfortunately, Pres. Trump is probably not going to prevail, so the usual suspects are going to milk it for all its worth, then blame Pres. Trump and those wascally Senators for the reason all that money went to waste.
I hope Pres. Trump prevails. I hope he uses his State of Emergency powers to confiscate all the voting machines in America. And I hope in so doing he proves that the election was fraudulent/illegitimate.
But he is on his own right now. Most of Conservative Inc. media has “moved on”. Other than milking the Hope Cow, they know they have to realign and pretend they are opposing Joe Biden.
Which they don’t.

No edit on my phone but it is on my laptop. Hope that helps and your post about asking for for GOD to bring the Gospel or word into ones life, made me smile! That’s what I have been doing for a long time now and especially since I found the CTH and you and DI posts on the Gospel of Paul. My churchin everyday!! But dang if I don’t get tears in my eyes when I see the posts by Citizen 817. The pitbull and the 4 year old girl, yesterday the grandpaw lifting weights so that he could lift his grand daughter to put the star on the top of the Christmas tree!! I love the CTH and to all a Merry Christmas. It’s not too early to say that is it?
Thanks Mark…and no, it’s not too early to say Merry Christmas! In fact, if we think about it, God’s gift to us, Christ-Mass glory, is 24/7 365 days a year! Merry Christmas to you and your family! God Bless! ?
If this is true, some medical associations, the NIH, and Drs. Fauci and Birch need to be asked some hard questions.

I am putting this on the open thread because I have no idea what is going on. 4 low altitude flights of helicopters flying straight north towards Cheyenne WY. Large helicopters too. Several flights on Monday past too. Cannot tell if military but not flight for life or such. Pretty constant all am today.
For those of you who are into crypto, here’s a big heads up:

OMG, another Trump appointee screwing over the regular folks. SHOCKER! It’s gonna be YUUUGE!
OK, so it looks like no one can go to the Nutcracker this year. Here’s a little evocative bit to remind us until next year.
Hi Trapper! My daughters studio worked so hard to try & put on Nutcracker for their students this year- in the realm of Coonman northham. First they were canceled at the local high school, so they tried to do the performance in their studio. Limited & “social distance” seating. Then that was forbidden from on high. So the brilliant owner said lets have no audience, we’ll just video & we’ll rent out a local theater & show the video. 3 weeks out that was also made verboten. So this small, vibrant business which is now barely hanging in there, after exhausting their creative thinking has a video to show for all the blood, sweat & tears these bright, beautiful young people & their faithful mentors/teachers ( my sweet daughter included). No applause, no bravos called by their loving families, no big celebratory party afterwards. We are being slowly suffocated by tyrants.
Ok, this for a laugh. Here is something you don’t see everyday.

Well it just gets better and better. NY Senator Gillibrand is looking for $16 million dollars to combat the spotted lantern moth. Hundreds of thousands of people in dire straits right now due to barbaric restrictions and she wants $16 million dollars to fight a moth. That she has made this public is even more unbelievable. These good for nothing politicians who have never worked a real job for one day in their entire lives live in some kind of alternate universe. Totally and intentionally out of touch with reality. May Almighty God rescue us.
Yeah, cause I will fight the moth for $15 million. Need to get in touch with her and tell her I am available. I will even kick back a million to her election fund or family needs.
I want to post this so you can this for yourself (if you wish to) before they take it down…
news story showing nurses at local hospital getting covid vaccines…except one of the “injections” is CLEARLY fake (the syringe is empty and the plunger is fully at zero, with ‘pretend’ push; it’s a close up view). The hospital admitted it was true.
All you can say is, wow.

Yep. How’d you like one of these health care workers to talk you into the vaccine, and you end up with some horrible condition, when they didn’t take it themselves?
“Who wants to be a guinea pig?” Almojera says is the biggest concern, with many citing the speed of the vaccine as a major hurdle. He says he tries to calm fears by telling them “It’s been worked on 24 hours a day for six or seven months with almost unlimited resources.”

Do people honestly believe this President and the true patriots in this country are going to just walk away from the fraudulent 2020 election ?

I subscribe to a wonderful photography site called flickr and they just posted the top photos submitted in 2020 by member photographers. I’m not one but always enjoy viewing them.
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. And Lord we ask your protection for General Flynn and his family, and all patriots and freedom-loving people all over the world.
Amen.
Japan yanks windmills out of water, because wasting its taxpayers money for it has been just that, a waste.

If you can stop the video and go frame by frame you can see there is no needle when it is pulled out of the Dr’s arm.
How much more proof do we need to see what is actually going on ?
