In an effort to keep the Daily Open Thread a little more open topic we are going to start a new daily thread for “Presidential Politics”. Please use this thread to post anything relating to the JoeBama Administration and Presidency.
“This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can’t be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won’t be done. The Founders’ Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.”
“But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.”
This thread will refresh daily and appear above the Open Discussion Thread.
Whenever the possibility presents, throw sand into the machinery…

Under a tenant protection package passed early this year, tenants have until Aug. 1 to repay the debts incurred between March 1, 2020 and Sept. 1, 2021
About 100 people led by the Keep LA Housed Coalition gathered in Downtown Los Angeles this week to call upon Mayor Karen Bass
and the City Council to cancel rent debts or provide further protections for tenants who can’t pay back rent.
They said lingering struggles from the pandemic, coupled with inflation and L.A.’s high cost of living, make it nearly impossible for many to pay their debts.
If no further actions are taken to prevent landlords from removing tenants come Aug. 1, eviction filings will soar.

Close to 50 percent of tenants in New York city public housing don’t even bother to pay their rent

Almost 50% of Americans don’t pay federal taxes. These are the same leaches who demand more FREE STUFF every year! How can America survive when these people who pay nothing vote for more free stuff every year!
Abolish the federal income tax and the IRS. Replace them with nothing.
Get rid of the Welfare State.
Government is NOT a charitable organization.
Charity comes from the heart of an individual.
amen
And put an end to the Federal Reserve, too.
The only “federal” part of it is their name.
But they keep voting Democrat. The people don’t care, so why should anyone else?

Saw discussion today regarding which traitor should undergo impeachment hearings first, most apparently saying that the Thief-in-Chief should be first.
I disagree. I’d like to see the hateful Garland or the smirking Mayorkas go, as fast as possible, hoping maybe their successor will be less virulent.
Also, on a personal note, to have The Cackler become our first female president is anathema to me. I’m just not sure we’d be any better off, and possibly worse.
good narrative for PDJT would be ” People like Mayorkas make new immigrants to this country look terrible, like they hate this country and want to undermind it instead of make it great”
start attacking these “minorities” – they arent minorities, they are domestic ursurpers that are using victim status to make us victims.

Battle For Robotyne –
It seems that the Ukrainian Armed Forces have had a bad day so far.
Yesterday they made another reconnaissance attack on Robotyne, south of Orkiv. It cost them 2 tanks. This morning they launched a much bigger attack in which at least three motorized battalions with tanks took part. They managed to get to the north-east end east of Robotyne but did not enter the town.
According to the Russian Ministry of Defense the attack cost the Ukrainian army 22 tanks, 10 Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicles and one armored combat vehicle. Several of these losses have been confirmed by drone videos from the region.
Over 100 Ukrainians were killed or wounded during that attack alone. The Ukrainian forces are retreating.
Yesterday the Ukrainian forces lost a total 20 artillery pieces. It is only the second time during the 50+ days of the Ukrainian counter-offensive that this level was reached. The losses included 5 2S1 Gvozdika self propelled howitzer, 3 Polish made Krab self propelled howitzer, 3 M-777 howitzer and several other types of bigger guns.

So MCCarthy does it again. No impeachment of Joe. Who would have predicted he’d backtrack on a promise again? Talk about being a dishonest arrogant a**. Sorry for the language and I really wanted to say worse things. He got his position by lying, smiling, schmoozing and just plain being a complete fake. Yet his membership swallowed it all because that’s who they are. They all are Kevin the snake McCarthys. Why can’t we find honest, competent American loving conservatives to run our country? This just infuriates me.

I saw a senate enquiry in Australia (where I am). The health bureaucrat said they didn’t include a 7yo and a 9yo having died from heart attacks (possibly cardiac arrest) post Pfizer as being due to the shot – because it’s not a listed adverse reaction.
I can’t remember if they used the term heart attack or cardiac arrest because a discussion on these terms followed – and then I forgot which was actually used. But it’s still the same. They still excluded the shot as a cause of death for rubbish excuses.
Other adverse events were ruled out due to insufficient information and nothing else. These people should face public execution following a fair trial.

GOP Senators Thune, Kennedy, Tillis and Paul Push Back Against Impeachment…
Because Emails, Bank Statements, Whistleblowers, Audio Recordings, Photos, a Laptop Computer, $5 Million Bribes, Are Not Enough Proof of Wrongdoing.
“FOX News later reported that Senators John Kennedy (R-LA) and Thom Tillis (R-NC) were also against impeachment. They too are honorable Americans.
“I’ll wait to see what evidence they present,” Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., said. “But we’ve got to do the homework. They cheapened the process the last two impeachments, and we don’t want to repeat that mistake.”
Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., said there are serious lingering questions about the Biden family, including what the president knew about his son Hunter’s overseas business dealings and if Biden got any money from those deals. However, Kennedy said mere political disagreements should not be grounds for an impeachment.”
I don’t believe that Republicans could be that stupid!

How LOW can Joe go?
He’s cut off lunches for schoolchildren whose schools don’t fall in line with the approved propaganda:
https://dailycaller.com/2023/07/27/jim-banks-usda-christian-school-lunches-title-ix/
Republican Indiana Rep. Jim Banks sent a letter Wednesday to Department of Agriculture Sec. Tom Vilsack demanding answers over a department rule change Banks said would block religious schools from participating in the USDA’s Food and Nutrition Service programs.
The rule change falls under the department’s Title IX sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) provision. The Daily Caller first obtained a copy of the letter, in which Banks mentions the California Department of Social Services (CDSS) blocking preschoolers enrolled at the Church of Compassion Dayspring Learning Center from qualifying for free lunches provided by the USDA’s Child and Adult Food Care Program in December 2022, because the preschool objected to the USDA’s SOGI rule.
“About 40 percent of the children at Dayspring are low-income and, before they were denied access to federal nutritional assistance, qualified for USDA’s Child and Adult Food Care Program,” Banks wrote in the letter. “For nearly twenty years, Dayspring had used the program to provide students in need with regular meals. As recently as 2022, that aid amounted to between $3,500 and $4,000 a month – until, as a result of your federal rule, it was cut off.”
Get government OUT of education (at ALL levels).
Parents should pack their child’s lunch. Why do the same people who get snap also get free lunch on the tax payers? Why can’t the parents make a sandwich and toss in a piece of fruit and a bag of chips they bought with their snap bennies?
I’m sick of free lunch programs, free breakfast, and Summer feeding programs for the same people who we already buy groceries for.
Modern parents are lazy.
Sadly a lot of the “parents” of those who qualify are brain fried from drugs and all their money goes to drugs not food 😓
Drug addicts who neglect their children should be put to work on chain gangs.

She’s setting the record straight on *why* the Hunter porn pics were necessary, for idiot Dem Voters who don’t know what the hearing was about, apparently.
Thanks for posting.
The Democrat Party is the equivalent of the inmates running the asylum.
Corruption top down.
Pass it on to any Dems you know who still “don’t get it”.
We all know the wuflu was a plandemic used, in part, to force mail-in ballots and cheat President Trump from his rightful place in the White House.
We also know that the leftist, socialists, communists, were using it as a weapon to put an end to Christianity — or to try and shut it down as much as possible. Closing churches and not even allowing drive-in worship services where no one gets out of their car or physically interacts with other church members, while abortion clinics, gay pride parades and protesters could do whatever they wanted spoke volumes as to who those people were.
During the madness, when churches were being forced to close, many of them refused to do so. One of those churches is in Los Angeles, California. It is Grace Community Church, which is also associated with The Master’s University.
The Master’s University was where a Canadian pastor — James Coates of GraceLife Church in Edmonton, Alberta — attended and studied under the leadership of pastor and chancellor, John MacArthur. Much like Grace Community Church in California, James did not close GraceLife, and because of that decision was taken to a maximum security jail, just for holding Sunday morning services.
Many God fearing pastors and churches followed Christ instead of following Caesar by continuing to hold in person services.
Grace Community Church, with the help of one of President Trump’s lawyers, won their legal battles — and other than the ‘two weeks to stop the spread’ (or whatever it was they said), Grace never closed their doors, never forced anyone to wear a mask, and never forced anyone to “social distance.”
Not long after winning their battle the staff at Grace Community Church decided to record history, and specifically their history in going through the unprecedented legal battle of taking on the government in order to be faithful to the Lord. They decided to make a movie about some of what took place at their church and others, and wrap it in historic events that the Lord used to build His church through persecution, and heroes, of Christ’s church.
Tomorrow the movie ‘The Essential Church’ opens at theaters across the country, and I encourage everyone to see it.
My husband and I haven’t been to a theater since all the madness started, since we didn’t want to give Hollywood a thin dime. Now, a church not too far from Hollywood will be premiering a movie inside the buildings mostly used for depravity.
Fresh on the heels of ‘The Sound of Freedom,’ I hope and pray ‘The Essential Church’ is seen by thousands of Christ followers across this land. And, whether someone is a Christian or not, the idea of losing our freedom of religious expression and freedom of speech should be something everyone who calls themselves American is willing to fight for.
If you are able, please see ‘The Essential Church’ and pass the information on to everyone you know. The link below shows cities/states/theaters where the movie will be showing.

Here’s an interesting promo for the movie. Notice the date written on the cassette tape that is played, and what is said almost 50 years ago. Love Pastor John.
Am I the only one disturbed by all the false headlines we see every day spread across multiple sources? It’s not just the MSM. It’s everywhere. Headlines like “Nacy Pelosi Arrested,” etc., flood the media. It’s wrong for them to do this because it’s dishonest and weakens trust in the media at a time when trust is at historic lows. A democracy cannot survive when the fourth estate is biased and dishonest. Everyone, right and left, needs to start acting like the responsible journalists they once were (or at least many of them once were.)
As the masters university was brought up, it seemed like a place that evidently could’ve used inward focus:
https://www.christianpost.com/news/john-macarthurs-masters-university-put-on-probation-by-accrediting-agency.html
“Last month, the Western Association of Schools and Colleges’ Senior College and University Commission sent notice to the university that it’s been placed on probation months after the commission’s release of a lengthy report, citing several concerns with the school’s personnel and management practices.
“Among the commission’s concerns are the lack qualifications for staff members in university leadership positions, questionable independence of the TMUS board of trustees, operational integrity and a “climate of fear, intimidation, bullying” among faculty and staff.”
Then, there were other reported conflicts of interest issues touching the various institutions:
https://www.christianpost.com/news/official-denies-john-macarthur-makes-more-than-500k-a-year.html
“MacArthur’s son, Matthew, remains on the board of GTY and has been listed on every 990 since 2002 as the treasurer. His other son, Mark, has also been listed as a GTY board member on every 990 since 2002.
“Last year, the Securities and Exchange Commission charged Mark MacArthur, 52, along with a wealth management company he founded, with defrauding their advisory clients in a $16 million real estate investment scheme.”
It just came out that MacArthur’ son reportedly will pay $400,000 to settle the case:
https://ministrywatch.com/john-macarthurs-son-to-pay-sec-397k-to-settle-financial-fraud-case/
Stories like this and a general concern about what’s going on in what some have dubbed the “Christian” industrial complex side of things, where transparency, accountability, and oversight often don’t seem to be sufficient priorities versus other ones, make me reticent to follow the recommendation.
John MacArthur and Grace Community Church have been lied about and abused by the government — and men with no moral compass — for decades.
Satan uses his minions to come against the church of God.
If you are someone who passes along gossip without knowing firsthand what is going on, then you are part of the problem.
You are doing nothing less than what all the democrats are doing by hearing the lies told of President Trump and passing those on as though they are the truth.
The first issue you brought up has an outside, un-christian organization going onto the Master’s campus and doing an audit of how a Christian ministry does business. They have zero authority to say whether God’s Word is being followed there or not. They are there as a government entity saying whether the government will OK what Christ’s church should do or not do.
Here is what their website says about “diversity,” of which they say Grace Community Church is failing at achieving; “WSCUC stands for diversity, equity, inclusion, and social justice and reaffirmed this commitment in a new Statement of Commitment to Equity & Inclusion adopted in June 2021. WSCUC has expressed its commitment in many ways, from its first diversity policy in 1994 and successor Equity and Inclusion Policy adopted in 2017, to pioneering work on disaggregated student data. On June 4, 2020 WSCUC issued “George Floyd and Accreditation,” a call to deep reflection and meaningful action by WSCUC and higher education. And in February 2021 the Commission established and Chair Phillip Doolittle appointed a new Equity & Inclusion Council, with the Commission Vice Chair, Tracy Poon Tambascia, as its chair.”
Every other point you mention has the same amount of “woke” to it. Every other point includes socialist/communist/marxist ideology doing its best to destroy Christ’s church — because by worming their way into the minds of people who do nothing more than hear the news and believe it, they know they can win.
Biden won the presidency after all. At least that’s what the news says.
“ If you are someone who passes along gossip without knowing firsthand what is going on, then you are part of the problem.”
“You are doing nothing less than what all the democrats are doing by hearing the lies told of President Trump and passing those on as though they are the truth.”
I’ll invite you to retract that so as to not approach bearing false witness.
First, isn’t the outside organization one with which the university chose to partner? As such, do they not leave themselves open to scrutiny?
Also, did I not leave links so anyone interested could look into this? Had I left a link to Jerry Falwell Jr. and stories written on that situation, would the info have been immediately discredited because it didn’t come from a purportedly preferred / approved source?
That brings up the key issue as to why I weighed in as I did. How many people (on the board at Liberty) with the ability to apply transparency, accountability, and oversight on Falwell Jr. et al, did so sufficiently and in a timely manner? Failing that, how many may have felt entitled with knives out on the spiritual side and the political side to go to town when things seemed to turn into a prairie fire rather than people standing strong in their oversight duties (perhaps with a rationale of not hurting the institutional image)? Which would figure to hurt things more, letting things reach prairie fire status, or factoring in the reality of hirelings (cf. John 10) and grievous wolves (cf. Acts 20) and being willing to prioritize checks and balances, such as when conflicts of interest with family and friends (potentially on organizational boards) may involve significant financial and control matters?
Thus, given what was being asked of people in the original post, I thought it wise for people who might be inclined to do so to lead with reasonable questions versus blind trust in a narrative and funding same. There is more as far as what some may consider red flags, but I figured that was sufficient for the moment. (Wonder how many people who appeared to turn on those asking questions in the case of Falwell Jr. and sadly many others thought to not only prioritize sharing mea culpas, but did so directly to those asking questions.)
“I’ll invite you to retract that so as to not approach bearing false witness.” You were gossiping — spreading false testimony about, presumably, a brother in the Lord. If you are not a Christian, then your set of standards are different than mine and we will never agree.
Did Grace “partner” with that organization? Do you know that for a fact? Or is it some type of government mandated accreditation that all schools of higher learning have to go through in California/the U.S.? I don’t know, but I do know that as Christians we do NOT have to follow Caesar’s standards, and those are what that “organization” did not like.
I have no clue about Jerry Falwell Jr. and am not going to follow what he did or did not do.
I do know John MacArthur and I know the schemes of the devil. And I know people who look for trouble, who look to smear the integrity of a godly man, can always find it, and satan will gladly help you.
“Did Grace “partner” with that organization? Do you know that for a fact? Or is it some type of government mandated accreditation that all schools of higher learning have to go through in California/the U.S.? I don’t know, but I do know that as Christians we do NOT have to follow Caesar’s standards, and those are what that “organization” did not like.”
Just as churches are afforded the opportunity not to incorporate under a 501(c)(3) nonprofit status, universities are afforded the opportunity of not partnering with an accreditation organization. That however impacts the marketability of degrees afterward, as they aren’t accredited from a recognized institution.
https://thebestschools.org/resources/accreditation/
“What is Higher Learning Commission Accreditation?
Accreditation indicates that a school voluntarily underwent a review process by a third-party accrediting agency to ensure educational standards.”
In further answering the question:
Degrees offered by unaccredited institutions of higher education
“Unaccredited institutions of higher education may include legitimate religious institutions offering ordination or doctoral degrees based on religious training, but most other unaccredited institutions are diploma mills offering counterfeit degrees for a price.”
This seems to affirm that an unaccredited route was an option, but that it stands to reason that the Masters University voluntarily partnered with the accrediting entity. Again, it would seem wise to reevaluate what was submitted as were the cautions and the invitation to examination from a Christian perspective, given the encouragement in Scripture to do so in the example such as the one cited in the Liberty University/Falwell Junior example, particularly given me overlap as far as high profile political involvement.
“You were gossiping — spreading false testimony about, presumably, a brother in the Lord. If you are not a Christian, then your set of standards are different than mine and we will never agree.”
It was from a Christian perspective that there was an invitation for you to retract so as not to approach bearing false witness. Yet, it appears you’ve decided to evidently double down and make an assertion regarding spreading false testimony, apparently without showing where it was false?
First, there was a link to a story that said if the entity reportedly accrediting the Masters University put it on probation citing findings in a report. Putting that in a link is not gossip, but pointing to something that was an issue being raised, which is the time to ask questions about it: good, bad, or in different. The burden of proof of appears to be on you to show that that is spreading false testimony rather then the passing along of reports that raise questions, which I remain confident is what occurred.
“I have no clue about Jerry Falwell Jr. and am not going to follow what he did or did not do.”
Given his reported involvement in events in which President Trump was evidently invited and participated, it certainly made a lot of news, so many people do have a clue. The reason it was brought up is because it seems to be close to an apples-to-apples comparison of somebody involved with a high profile professed Christian university.
Not wanting to follow what Falwell Jr. did or did not do given the high profile nature of Liberty University in Christian institutional settings seems a curious position for someone who had taken the time to post people directing them to the struggles with secular entities of a professed Christian enterprise – – in which the post mentioned of the connection to a related university. Issues connected with Falwell Junior included reported overlaps and conflicts of interest in setups and org constructs of university operations and connected enterprises, something which was raised in the linked stories on MacArthur and on family members who held positions related to the University and entities with reported connections to the religious institution as well.
I mean, one of the links was literally just from last month in which one of his sons who reportedly was on the University board reportedly is set to pay $397,000 related to financial operation questions of another enterprise. Passing that along for purposes of information and personal consideration and examination to people being directed to watch – – and presumably pay for – – a production connected with the aforementioned MacArthur enterprises does not appear to automatically equate to gossiping, nor spreading false testimony.
The evident charges against me appear to go towards dangerous ground scripturally. Have you read Galatians 2 about what one “brother in the Lord“ did to another as far as withstanding him to his face per verse 11, even though the particular “brother in the Lord“ in question had literally walked with the Lord and had testified as Scripture was being fulfilled during the post-Resurrection outpouring of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost?
How many people might have been tempted to shrink back from speaking up, and how many others might’ve accused Paul of something along the lines of gossiping or spreading false information about a “brother in the Lord” when he rebuked Peter along with Barnabas and others for what Paul evidently saw as not walking in line according to the truth gospel (cf. Galatians 2:14)?
Additionally, it’s been made evident that the enterprises in question did have measures of crossover into the secular/Caesar world and public square, which further warrants examination and accountability according to that and the applicsble rules. It also makes those involved subject to accrediting boards and the government entity, one who apparently is due the $397,000 settlement from a related party as discussed.
Reporting on that and acknowledging any enmeshing with those involved further might seem to scuttle a notion or claim that public square interactions being linked for review after being reported on may only then be conveyed to others for consideration if they simultaneously are (somehow) known firsthand by the public in order to not constitute gossip/spreading false information.
Nor does it seem to constitute gossip/spreading false information as much as acknowledging what’s being reported in the public square about activities that cross into the public square and may warrant further examination.
In posting links worthy of examination before people start throwing attention and money towards an enterprise (without their knowing details of that enterprise “firsthand“), that may not approach the level of what was being discussed in Galatians 2. Nevertheless, the reaction to the call for consideration and examination sadly seem unsurprising given levels of resistance such as often occurs when people raise questions around professed Christian enterprises from a legitimate, Scriptural place as far as seeking oversight and accountability. However, the legitimacy of responding as was done continues to be borne out, while the charges against me seem to continue to lack sufficient substantiation. Thus, one more offer of self-examination is extended.
“Did Grace “partner” with that organization? Do you know that for a fact? Or is it some type of government mandated accreditation that all schools of higher learning have to go through in California/the U.S.? I don’t know, but I do know that as Christians we do NOT have to follow Caesar’s standards, and those are what that “organization” did not like.”
Just as churches are afforded the opportunity not to incorporate under a 501(c)(3) nonprofit status, universities are afforded the opportunity of not partnering with an accreditation organization. That however impacts the marketability of degrees afterward, as they aren’t accredited from a recognized institution.

“What is Higher Learning Commission Accreditation?
Accreditation indicates that a school voluntarily underwent a review process by a third-party accrediting agency to ensure educational standards.”
In further answering the question:
Degrees offered by unaccredited institutions of higher education
“Unaccredited institutions of higher education may include legitimate religious institutions offering ordination or doctoral degrees based on religious training, but most other unaccredited institutions are diploma mills offering counterfeit degrees for a price.”
This seems to affirm that an unaccredited route was an option, but that it stands to reason that the Masters University voluntarily partnered with the accrediting entity. Again, it would seem wise to reevaluate what was submitted as were the cautions and the invitation to examination from a Christian perspective, given the encouragement in Scripture to do so in the example such as the one cited in the Liberty University/Falwell Junior example, particularly given me overlap as far as high-profile political involvement.
Turley Unleashed: Hunter Biden’s Judge Raised The One Question The White House Most-
Watch as Constitutional Law Professor Jonathan Turley reveals why Democrats are now panicking over Hunter Biden, and the question of whether he is, or is not, a foreign agent.
“Because the judge just raised the one charge that the White House most fears which is the chance that Hunter was a foreign agent. And if he was a foreign agent, the question is foreign agent for who and for what purpose?”
