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 †

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do no be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect WILL of GOD. Romans 12:1-2.
We must make our top priority and line up with it, the Will of God.
Sorry I am in a strange mood today. Caught this on Lucianne. Can’t help myself.
Texas makes paying for sex a felony
https://thepostmillennial.com/texas-makes-paying-for-sex-a-felony
I guess you can’t pay for dinner now.
So child support is out too?
Sure takes the moan out of alimonEy
couldn’t resist
And in Squad news today:
Minneapolis Man Charged in Child Sex Trafficking ConspiracyST. PAUL, Minn. – A Minneapolis man has been arrested and indicted on federal sex trafficking charges for allegedly recruiting six minor victims to engage in commercial sex acts, announced Acting United States Attorney W. Anders Folk.
According to court documents, from May 2020 through December 2020, Anton Joseph Lazzaro, a/k/a “Tony Lazzaro,” 30, conspired with others to recruit and solicit six minor victims to engage in commercial sex acts. Lazzaro, who was taken into custody earlier today by FBI agents, made his initial appearance in United States District Court before Magistrate Judge Becky Thorson.

I wonder if this has anything to do with it?
EXCLUSIVE: Is this the proof that Ilhan Omar married her own brother to bypass US immigration rules? Conservative group’s DNA test from ‘congresswoman’s cigarette butt’ purports to show 99.99% match to her second husband Ahmed Elmi
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9891015/Claims-DNA-match-proves-Ilhan-Omar-married-brother.html
I can never figure this stuff out. I am 98% the same as a chimp, but only 50% the same as my father and yet he is also 98% the same as a chimp? That sure is one amazing chimp.
But rest assured, if they have 99.99% match, they are identical twins.
Well it doesn’t say match it says probability, claiming a one in ten thousand chance that they are heavy instead of brother and sister. These probabilities come from the nonsense that claim each DNA tested is independent of all other DNA tested. And yet they can trace you back to your area of origin, because your DNA aren’t independent of each other.
And by the way, you can be more like your sister than like your father. Or vice a versa. Depending on which genes, and on how few genes you test, you can make siblings look as close as chimps. Or as far apart as an octopus and a horse.
And just how can our biology all function the same if we are so different from each other? My DNA is different than your DNA, yet these different DNA end up telling our cells to make the exact same hormones or chemicals? Speaking of horses and hormones, estrogen made from horses is close enough to human estrogen that they use it in hormone replacement therapy.
So, so many inconsistent claims made about DNA.
Happy Caterday, Treepers. I think growing up around animals is one of the most important things that can happen to a child. There’s something about an animal’s love—in this case an elderly cat—that is humanizing to a child. I think it’s the purity of an animal’s unquestioning love and unquestioning trust that is so importnat to the socialization process. Simply put animals, cats and dogs, can work magic in a child’s formative years. Gotta’ love these Dodo videos! 🙂
Yep. The Dodo never disappoints.
Kitty love!
I woke up with our cat sharing the pillow with me, draped around the top of my head like a crown.
I had a cat named Pandora who always slept under my chin. I’m a side sleeper. When I had an operation for cancer she was always there to be with me. I even have a pic of her with her paw on my forehead looking up. I think she was praying for me. I loved that cat and miss her so much.

Timothy Christian Schools to comply with Pritzger mask mandate
after being decertified by state for making masks optional.
Home school! Home school! Home school! Home school! Home school! Home school! Home school!
I am starting a campaign. Take the child tax credit and spend it on home schooling materials or a good private school! If they are going to waste the money, prepare your kids lead the future.
if at all possible, yes!
another poster mentioned that homeschool doesn’t have to be 8a to 3p, either.
can be done on the parents schedule, even a split shift….as long as the kids are awake!?
however, my original point in posting this is how the illinois governor brought intolerable pressure on a well respected, very Christian school system to tow the line or let their students suffer the consequences.
the article details the ramifications of “decertification”.
very sad.
Tell me. Do you think kids should be home schooled?
Silly drip. Silly silly. Drip drip. ?

She’s dead right. It’s about dehumanization. I’d add fragmentation but that falls under dehumanization anyway, as we are a social species and draw as much sustenance from interaction as we do food.
Sugoi!
Wow, not quite sure what to make of it – sounds almost ominous, yet almost prophetic at the same time?? Guess us Westerners might not “get” what their Japanese?? audience would understand. However at the end there it did sound like “get rid of these (bad) things?? – I danno, still too early here. Anyway how about a “come down” to ease into a beautiful clear but coldish day here – after a clear starlight night – found somebody who STILL cannot make out the Southern Cross (Southern Hemisphere only I think) anyway reminded me of one of my old favorites by CSN, and funny enough the song “adopted” by our city – but disappointingly slowly being forgotten.
Kind of fun to see people mash up eastern and western like this. It is like they have crossed some previously unthinkable taboo. One of those, it has always been there yet nobody does it, concepts. One might steal just a little bit, and mix it in, but nobody blatantly mashes them up. Until now.
Are there any versions that are English subbed?
Some on screwtube are subtitled, though there are a lot of obvious “lost in translation” issues, particularly as we are dealing with an old culture with a lot of history unfamiliar to the West. Wagakki Band began doing Vocaloid covers, this one is Senbonzakura, initially composed with the Hatsune Miku singing synthesizer, the title means “Thousand Cherry Blossoms.”
I use DeepL for translations and Linguee as a dictionary, amazing sites that allow a lot of peeking around the web, far better that Goolag.
Hmmm. Thanks

What’s hiding under there?…must find out, must find out, must find out – but go carefully! ?
Avert your eyes.
Moderators, please let this one through…
Hi All,
The following is an article i have created to be shared to let people on the fence know that the entire pandemic has been driven by fraudulent cases from false positive PCR tests.
All of the data shown comes from either the CDC, the NYTimes, Fauci, the PCR test providers, or the inventor of the test itself Kary Mullis.
Armed with this link you will hopefully be able to convince any objective person that the entire pandemic is a scam with fraudulent testing at its core – cases have driven everything: masks, social distancing, lockdowns, economic destruction, mental and physical health destruction, and suicides.
https://tritorch.com/PCRFraud/
This page is an early version and will mature over time. I am posting it now simply to get the information out as soon as possible.
…scam with fraudulent testing at its core…
Hi G! I call it the Malgorithm.
Haha, perfect, M!
People getting sick and dying is real. Excess deaths have also been real. There really is an epidemic spread around the world.
But little that we are told about it is real.
Influenza disappeared, amazing. Except it didn’t. They lied. A small fraction of the total deaths, but every flu death was counted as covid. So too was every flu case. PCR not only can’t tell if you are sick, it can’t tell the difference between flu and covid.
But it is actually much worse. So many of our policies and mandates are designed to make sure more people die. Don’t go to the doctor. Doctor can’t treat you when you do. You aren’t allowed to treat yourself. Wait till you are nearly dead. Then go to hospital. Treatment in hospital based upon pneumonia, not covid, unnecessarily killing more. Sending sick to nursing homes killed tens of thousands. Lock down those least likely to get it or to suffer and or die. Lock down healthy instead of quarantining sick.
And I use ‘designed’ deliberately. Everything they do goes against all preexisting knowledge and experience. If preexisting practice and knowledge used to save people is discarded and the opposite is done, that is intentional.
Lying, covering up, pressuring people to comply, punishing people who don’t, using it to cheat elections, using it to steal freedoms, using it to impose dictatorial control. It is very clear why they make it worse than it really is, why they work even harder to make it seem even worse, much much worse than that. They need us to think we are all going to die so they can get away with their crimes until it is too late to catch and punish them.
And yes, one of those crimes is making this killer bug, and another is releasing this killer bug, and yet another is making it spread to the world. Then everyone joined in on the crime by making sure more people died than would have if we applied known medical practice and common sense. And there are also multiple crimes associated with these vaccines.
you hit it out of the park with this one, sir.??
Fair enough but what is your take on eye witness accounts like this:
[video src="https://tritorch.com/degradation/%21IndiaEyewitnessMediaLyingAboutIndiaDeaths.mp4" /]
There are a ton of these. I have a dozen videos of angry nurses from all over the globe walking through empty hospitals in exasperation of the media’s breathless reports of overrun hospitals. And those are just the tip of the iceberg – none of this adds up.
I think Jim hit this aspect of Coupvid just right: “They need us to think we are all going to die so they can get away with their crimes until it is too late to catch and punish them.”
It’s all theater. Deaths, yes, murders, hell yes, but it’s theater. With an overarching goal that wicked men never cease to pursue; dominance, power, wealth, control, and endless destruction.
I Agree with you my friend. I read a quote once – I forget by who but it was someone prominent- that went something like this:
“No matter how bad you think what the elites are up to is – the truth is actually far worse.”
I have come to believe there is no bottom to their wickedness and depravity.

You’d remember this one then, The Lee Shore – CSN – although I couldn’t get the version I prefer off utube – on the live album. Anyway, for whatever reason if I had to choose, this song kinda stikes a chord with the “dreamy” side of me – which is a lot lately – lol – must be old age creeping up – but not before I get at least one sail around the world. (love sailing)
Great song……..you’ve likely seen this one, but I love the 2007 live BBC version. That song and Guinnevere…..Graham Nash’s harmony cannot be duplicated.
Also one of my favorites – stuff of knights and ladies. However I have found a “layered” “meaning” to much of their work – It kinda depends on how you choose to “hear” the lyrics. On the main though I find most of their stuff pretty meaningful, somewhat “out there” much in keeping with the “love” “spiritual”, lets say, “good” side of the hippie movement. I think all of us from that era still have a touch it remaining, some of us more than others – which is bizare – here we are on “right-wing” MAGA sites, (extremists – lol) promoting stuff we ourselves loved and still do – stuff one would describe as “lefty”. It’s a crazy world.
Good morning everyone. Run outside before sunrise and catch sight of some of the Perseids! The sky here is so beautiful right now, and I saw two within five minutes.

The Jesus Prayer
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy upon me, a sinner.
Prayer of Saint Ioannikios the Great of Bithynia (+ 846)
My hope is the Father, my refuge the Son, my protection the Holy Spirit. O Holy Trinity, glory to Thee.
CHASTENING
“Despise not the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of Him.” Heb. xii. 5
It is very easy to quench the Spirit; we do it by despising the chastening of the Lord, by fainting when we are rebuked by Him. If we have only a shallow experience of sanctification, we mistake the shadow for the reality, and when the Spirit of God begins to check, we say – oh, that must be the devil.
Never quench the Spirit, and do not despise Him when He says to you – “Don’t be blind on this point any more; you are not where you thought you were. Up to the present I have not been able to reveal it to you, but I reveal it now.” When the Lord chastens you like that, let Him have His way. Let Him relate you rightly to God.
“Nor faint when thou are rebuked of Him.” We get into sulks with God and say – “Oh, well, I can’t help it; I did pray and things did not turn out right, and I am going to give it all up.” Think what would happen if we talked like this in any other domain of life!
Am I prepared to let God grip me by His power and do a work in me that is worthy of Himself? Sanctification is not my idea of what I want God to do for me; sanctification is God’s idea of what He wants to do for me, and He has to get me into the attitude of mind and spirit where at any cost I will let Him sanctify me wholly.
Oswald Chambers
August 14th Devotional
Spot on juststevie – another way of thinking about it is – from the darkest, deepest despair, to the highest clearest heights, there lives the creator, another – Even if I shall walk in the valleys of the shadows of death, I will not be afraid of evil, because you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

I cried as I watched this…the confusion and perplexities of our daily lives now so well displayed! It’s sad that only 192 people have viewed this. And the ending, God is our only HOPE! In Him do we trust! ? Thank you for posting this Sepp!
Just answer the question! God is who you trust. “God given freedoms”.
Now we are terrorists? So you ask “who do you trust”?
Dark world without our lord.
I suspect if this does not get remedied in the very near future our sun will be blocked out as well as the moon.
China has done it why not the rest of the world?
California, New York work really hard to do the same.

BE MY VOICE
PRAYING ON THE ARMOR OF GOD
Father God, I now follow your command to put on the full armor of God, because my battle is not against flesh and blood but against rulers, authorities, the powers of this dark world and against spiritual forces of evil in the unseen world.
I first pray on the Belt of Truth that it may be buckled around my waist, may I be centered and encircled by your truth dear Lord. Hem me inside all that is true and right, and may I be protected and held up by the truth of your living word, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Breastplate of righteousness, please protect my vital organs and my inner man, cover my integrity, my spirit, and my soul. Guard my heart for it is the wellspring of life, please strengthen and guard the most vulnerable places in my life with that which is right, good, and noble that I might not receive a fatal blow from the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Gospel Shoes of Peace. I choose to stand in the shoes of your good news, and on the firm foundation of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the solid eternal rock. All other ground is sinking sand, I pray that I will not slip or fall, but that my feet would be firmly fitted on your lordship, my Lord Jesus. I choose to stand on you, so that the peace of God, which transcends all understanding will guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus, the eternal Rock of Ages. I receive your holy peace now my Lord, from the sole of my feet to the crown of my head, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray the Shield of Faith into my hand now. As I take up the shield of faith, I ask that you might extinguish every dart and arrow, that is launched from the enemy to take me down spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally, and every attempt of the enemy to destroy my joy. I ask that my faith in you would make it flame out. Extinguish every flaming arrow that would come against me, my life, my family, my home, or my ministry. May my faith always be out in front of me like a shield. Give me the courage to “faith my fears” by choosing to walk by faith and not by sight, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Helmet of Salvation, that you might protect my mind from the thoughts that can lead me astray. I choose to take every thought captive, and arrest all intentioned ideas and motives that would harm others, or distract me from your holy will for me. I submit every captured thought to the Lordship of my Lord Jesus Christ, and ask that you would imprison those thoughts that are not of you my Lord. Transform my mind and renew my thinking that I may think God thoughts, and have a sober mind that is focused on your glory. Please protect me from being double minded that I may allow my mind, I reject to live an earthly life, because I choose to live a holy one, governed by you My Lord Jesus, the prince of peace, please have my mind to be saturated with the holy mind of Christ, in my Lord Jesus name.
Finally, I take up the Sword of the Spirit which is the holy word of God, I pray this powerful offensive weapon into my hand, and ask that your holy word would be fitting for every encounter I face. As the enemy gets close to me, please give me the insight, wisdom, and skill to wield the word of God to drive away the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
May the enemy and his team flee from me, upon hearing the word of God spoken by the power and direction of the Holy Spirit. Give me the sword of the spirit to cut through the wiles of the devil, so that I may discern the schemes of the enemy when he is near.
With all kinds of prayers, supplication, and intercession I pray to you my Lord God as the one who fights my battles. Now that I’m in your holy powerful armor, I walk away covered and ready to face my day as you go before me, and please protect me in the midst of the spiritual warfare in this unseen world, in my Lord Jesus name.
Thank you my Lord, for the spiritual weapons of armor and prayer that you have given me. It is written no weapon formed against me shall prosper, and you will refute every tongue that accuses me.
Thank you Father God, my Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit, that I am more than a conqueror in my Lord Jesus. I pray all of this in the mighty name of my Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ, amen.
Good morning, 🙂

There is a helpful link in this bad cattitude (el gato malo) article for individuals to verify the hospitalization numbers vs what their local media is selling re: covid panic:
https://boriquagato.substack.com/p/hysterical-anecdotalism-about-hospitals?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&token=eyJ1c2VyX2lkIjoxMzM0OTE0MywicG9zdF9pZCI6NDAwMTM5MDQsIl8iOiJQSSsrZiIsImlhdCI6MTYyODk1Njk1NiwiZXhwIjoxNjI4OTYwNTU2LCJpc3MiOiJwdWItMzIzOTE0Iiwic3ViIjoicG9zdC1yZWFjdGlvbiJ9._mZUqXVL31Lt0zJA-Son0uZBcr5wPhAvOtFjYdRzJxI
this is a direct link to the HHS tool the article talks about.
put in an address, such as the street address near a hospital, set the range, for example within 5 miles of that address (the range goes up to 30 miles) and it will show all the hospitals in that range, the number of beds they have, how many beds are in use, the percentage of beds available – for both all hospital beds and ICU beds.
further down under that part shows the States. click on a State, it shows Statewide the same information about beds, beds in use, percentage available and then, the second tab, click on that, and it shows how many of those beds are being used for actual Covid patients.
checking on these numbers, comparing them to both the local, and national news stories will help give real numbers, put the stories into real context about the status of our hospitals; and should go toward alleviating the fear porn the news outlets are telling, or confirm the seriousness of local outbreaks:
https://protect-public.hhs.gov/pages/hospital-utilization
I have an idea: Instead of masks and vaccines, distribute HQL, zinc and azthromycin or ivermectin to every student and teacher to be used prophylactically or as needed. Then we can eliminate the masks and won’t need the Covid vaccines. Of course the govt. has to make the therapeutics acceptable and over the counter. Never going to happen?
This kind of says it all! A real Hockey Stick.

NATIONAL NAVAJO CODE TALKERS DAY
Each year on August 14th, National Navajo Code Talkers Day honors the contributions of the Native Americans who brought their unique abilities to the World War II effort. The day also highlights their impact on U.S. code and the Native American language that made it possible.
While code talkers were instrumental during World War II, the United States military used the Native American language in their coded messages before. During World War I, the Choctaw tribe’s language was called upon to relate coded messages.
One member integral in creating the military code was Philip Johnston. While he was not Navajo, Johnston did speak the language fluently. He also recruited the native speakers necessary to the Code Talker’s success.
Initially, there were 29 Code Talkers, including Charlie Sosie Begay, Roy Begay, Samuel H. Begay, Eugene Crawford, Oscar Ilthma, and Lloyd Oliver, to name a few. However, that number would grow. Until 1968, the program remained classified. At that time, the United States presented the original 29 Navajo Code Talkers with Congressional Gold Medals. Additionally, the remaining Navajo Code Talkers were presented with Congressional Silver Medals.
NATIONAL V-J DAY (Victory over Japan Day)
National V-J Day on August 14th commemorates the day in 1945 when news broke around the world the Imperial Government of Japan would surrender ending a long a grueling world war. In Europe, the date was August 15 due to the time zone, but regardless, the celebrations that broke out were no less zealous.
Since 1939, the entire world had been enduring the strife of war. The first rumblings began in 1937 but by the end of 1941, the United States would join the war they had vowed remain out of. After the bombing of Pearl Harbor by Japan on December 7th, 1941, the United States declared war and fully supported all fronts.
Idiots today have no concept of what total war is. They want to condemn using the nucs against Japan when in fact it ended the war with far fewer casualties for both sides than any other probable outcome.
Some of the best entertainment as a truck driver occurs in Truck stops and at docks. Yesterday I watched as two Sikhs (Canadians, with turbans and beards) tried to back into a dock beside me. It was bit tight, but not THAT tight.
There were two of them in the truck. One ground guiding and the other “driving” and it was hilarious. It would have been even funnier had they not be trying to back in round my already docked rig.
Along the curb in front of the docks there were railroad rails cut and mounted into the ground to keep trucks from running up over the curb into the grass. Even with one of them ground guiding they managed to get into one of those RR track dead man guards and scrape some paint and crack the right front head light bucket of the leased truck they were “driving”. Took them every bit of 20 minutes to get backed into that dock.
Really I guess you would just have to be a truck driver and be there to understand how funny that that was. They say a definition of insanity is trying to do the same thing over and over again even though it didn’t work the first time. If that is correct these guys were bat shit crazy!
They came in from the opposite direction that I did so their set up was perfect with the door on the drivers side. I came in from the other direction before they got there so the door was on the passenger side. So I had to do a “blind back” into the dock and it took me maybe 4 minutes and a single pull up. They did about 20 pullups and hit that RR track dead man before they finally got backed in.
And NO! I did not help them. Been there done that. Fact is you learn that there are some people that you can help but others your wasting you time and energy trying. These two were the later and I didn’t even have to try to know that.
