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 †

Morning Ya’ll 🙂
Good morning, Jay. Lovely bench. Yes, I would like to sit here in the quiet for a spell, thank you.
😎
😎 good morning, Jay.
Howdy Patience 🇺🇸😁🇺🇸
Morning, Patience and Ma 💕🍁💕
Mornin, Miss Besty😇

Morning Patience! ❤️
Good morning, Pa❣️

Howdy Patience,
I am afraid of heights, though, so this would have to be a hard pass.
But super cool picture.
Have always loved the feeling of going up and being way up high.
It’s the first step of getting down that’s a problem.
(i. e. When on a roof how to turn around to get a foot on the ladder)
Scaffolding, trees, big rocks, towers… no problem.
-just have to remember to not to get too comfortable, and (really) that I cannot fly. 😂
Hope you are having a really good day, Woo. 💞
Hi Patience,
You are so right. Easy to ascend, really hard to take the first step to descend. Got trapped on a third story roof once trying to rescue a cat (of course). Firefighters had to get me down. Humiliating. The cat was uncooperative, unphased, and unsaved for another day when another fool found the extending ladder, created a diversion, and got the stranded cat down. Was going to adopt that cat after all the effort, but he just turned and strode away without even so much as a “thank you”.
I’ll leave the heights to those more skilled, as I’ve aged past the point of such achievements.
Day was okay. Work was long… end of month always is. We have grown outside the ability of just me to manage what I manage…grow we must.
Praying we have a country to grow with and a community safe to transact in. Praying for our customers, their minds, their means, their safety and security. Praying our contribution is effective in our sphere of influence and for protection against the crazies and the mentally unstable who creep out of the woodwork and seek to steal and destroy. You will know them by what they fixate on and what they elevate.
It is an ever-present concern and had meaningful conversations with our business owner today over such things. To keep all safe as humanly possible.
To God be the Glory!
Morning, Woo and Savannah💕
Good almost evening, Betsy. Sorry for the delay. 🌞
Working, working, working. Have 1,000 more illegal 👽 to support, you know.
Good morning JWoo!
Hi, Grandpa M! ❤️
Morning, Mr jay💕 and BRRRRRRRR!!! Coats first! But yes, thank you, that coffee will go down a treat on this cold Monday 🤗
This is me today (sort of) 🤗
Good morning Bet! Last night I switched the A/C to heat, and boy, am I glad I did so. ❤️😘
37 this morning on the way to 43. Will have to wear an extra layer of clothes this morning going to the health club.
Morning, dear bro😘 We are having those ferocious winds which bring in a cold front…wind chill makes it seem like 26. I can say it feels a lot colder. Our heat was set at 68 and has been there for about two weeks for just this. No AC for longer. Just relied on ceiling fans. Last night it finally kicked on, and we doubled up on blankets. Rain continued in the night so that we are now waterlogged, but I think it’s finished for a while.
But talk about change!! By Saturday or Sunday we are supposed to top 80…
Well, layer up and bundle up, kid! Winter? She be a’comin..😎
Slept in a cold bedroom last night (had left a window open). Snuggled into the covers with just my nose
poking out—reminded me of sleeping in a bedroom at my granny’s when I was a little kid.
Loved being toasty warm in a cold bedroom! 🙂
I’ve got a picture of you and probably little Tink as well comfy cozy under the covers 😊. That was us this morning but without little Tink. Made myself get up. It wasn’t easy 😉🌞☕
Nice memory… feelings…
-better close the dang window tonite; I don’t need you getting sick, my man Garrison❣️
Can someone please tell me where Fall went?
That went by way too fast.
Winter coat weather here.
Maidin Mhaith Betsy we got down to 27 f yesterday 29 this am🇺🇸🥶🇺🇸
There seems to be no middle ground, does there…too hot or too cold. Goldilocks would be hard pressed to find the “just right” in our neck of the woods. LOL!
40F here in Texas is cold . . .
Howdy Garrison 92 in California when we left 🇺🇸🤠🇺🇸
It’s the rapid change that makes it feel so cold I think. Time to acclimatize.
Howdy jay!

Mornin’ Jay :-). Be well friend.
Blessing’s 🙏🏻
Looks like an Autumn
Bench-Monday lineup;
-Party!!!!
Much better
than in the halls of senior institutions . 😜
🤔🤔
-outside is so much better
I never saw ‘black & white’ Hummels, before. My paternal grandmother had a bunch of original Hummels from Germany in the late 1930s (of which I inherited several) but they were all hand painted in many colors. Once having very high ‘collectables’ value, they currently hold very modest market value. But the sentimental value is priceless…
Ah yes things my older relatives left me are my treasure got some really nice trench art left by uncles I wouldn’t sell for anything 😁
Is that Creedence (up top)….I L O V E Creedence…..
😁
Jay … “I wonder if my rope’s still hanging from the tree?”
Im old enough to remember when this lyric was OBVIOUSLY about the rope swing Fogerty hung to swing into Green River (which BTW was a stretch of Putah Creek out flowing from Lake Berryessa where the Fogerty family vacationed in N.CA). Sadly … if that lyric was penned today … it would be claimed to have some connection with modern day lynching … which according to Joe Biden … is an every day offense.
Nice tunes this morning
😁😁
To all of you lovely Treepers who post here every day … The Turtles sang it best. Just a Room … until all of you are in it … then it comes alive with the beauty of the human spirit. The beauty of God’s Spirit shining thru.
((((( 💖 )))))
Howdy Kenji,
Blessings to you.
A little CCR on a Monday morning is always good.
My bones weren’t awake enough for dancing but my foot was tappin’……
Have a great day, Jay!
Thank you 🙏🏻

Norton Buffalo at the 2:20 mark …
Cool song … is that Pete Haycock singing the falsetto on the Chorus? Cause that VOICE totally MAKES the song! Brilliant. RIP mate. A “good lot” from the Midlands … eh Betsy?
A Segovia video from the 60’s. The recording quality—.25 analogue probably—is actually quite good for the times. We get to hear Segovia performing music that made him famous. This is Segovia as I remember him best. Enjoy Treepers. . .
Howdy Garrison 🇺🇸🤠🇺🇸
God morning to you, Garrison. You’re musical selections are sublime. It makes the work day so much smoother… along with prayer.
How is your hand and your feet doing? Balance doing better and are you still in PT?
How’s Tinkmeister? I had a dream last night of a fluffy kitten brood… wanted to adopt them all. Woke up to Harold purring and curled at my right shoulder.
It’s cold here. Time for the winter clothes. Fall went by too fast.
P/T is going really well. It’s purpose is to enhance the mind/body connections—my sense of balance has
improved. Had lunch with a friend yesterday and she noticed that I’m walking better (yea). Still wearing
splints on my left hand. Haven’t found a good hand doc—lots of indifferent “medicine” bring practiced.
Hands no longer hurt which is good. Going for an MRI next week. My GP is a general surgeon and can at
least tell me if I’m healed. Foot neuropathy ain’t going away. P/T is showing me how to walk differently.
‘Tink is my constant companion. She’s a great antidote for loneliness.
Thanks for asking. Take care, love. 🙂
Glad pain has subsided and balance is returning. Hope MRI will show the bones set properly and you’re on your way to full healing. There’s little one can do anyway, except let time do its best to heal.
I believe that one day the medical profession will correct itself. There are many good doctors like our Country Doc who are earnest and view the support of good health a calling… and not the pursuit of just wealth. Healing has been around as long as mortals have walked… true holistically sound medicine will return.. once this House of Cards has fallen.
As for Tinks… do keep her warm and snuggled in. I crashed for a nap after work and kiddo refused to wake me. Both the cattos curled up with me and slept the evening away. Seems everyone was a little wrecked. Slept until 7:30 pm and dinner wasn’t ready until 8:30 pm for kid. Salmon and steamed veggies and meal prepped the salad greens for this week’s school lunches.
About ready to turn in again. Feel like I could sleep for days. Hazard of these winter days where the sun is down and it is dark by 730 pm.
Have you ever tried pressure socks for the foot neuropathy? Sometimes that pressure can feel quite good when when feet protest. It is a cheap experiment to see if they bring some relief. Or taking a hard racquetball and rolling it in the arch of your foot on the floor. Strange sounding maybe, but that sports injury muscle therapist taught me some things that I’ve appreciated much over these years. Just ideas.
Morning, Garrison💕 Just a weensy bit chilly here. So my first coffee and the Master of his instrument will go down a treat😁
Mornin’ Bet 🙂 See above . . .
😉👍🏻💕
Good morning Garrison!
Mornin’ Gramps 🙂
Top of the afternoon, Garrison!
Segovia became the “standard” to which all other classical guitarists were compared.
In 1968 I went to work for a small high-end hi-fi stereo shop in my suburban Baltimore village. The proprietor, Pete, was a retired boiler engineer of German descent, and was a huge Segovia fan. He introduced me to Segovia’s playing via multiple records that sounded great on deluxe stereo equipment. Pete had studied classical guitar as a hobby and was actually pretty good… which then inspired me to switch from my electric guitar to a classical instrument. But life happened and I did not stay with it long enough to develop any serious skill.
That bit of background is why I marvel at the multiple young women whose videos you have posted here, and whose skills appear and sound (to my ears) at least as good as Segovia’s masterful playing. And that is not easy to do.
Good morning all.
Joe Bastardi has been concerned about late season TS development in the western Caribbean for the last month. As I have pointed out, it is very rare for such storms to hit Texas after September. So all you along the Gulf Coast and especially Florida, which is the direction these storms like to take, look out. Here is what the US GFS model is showing.
Just checking something.

What an illuminating big ‘ol heart ❣️❣️❣️❣️
A dear friend has received a foster child in her home today. I’d appreciate prayers for her, her family and this 3 year old girl, who is probably terrified to be alone with (and at the mercy of) strangers.
Let no weapon formed against her prosper. May she grow in strength, courage, wit, and determination and may she live and thrive in peace for all the days of her lives. In Jesus’s Holy and Saving Name, AMEN
Amen
✝️
Amen…you gotta way J
Dear AustinHoldout…
Your friend must have the biggest heart. Almighty God chose her for this precious child at this moment in her little life. Of this I have no doubts.
I am leaving this below to show how He intertwines our earthly jouneys at just the right moment for each soul.
It is no coincidence that your friend has this precious girl in her care when it is needed most.
Nor is it a coincidence that I stumbled on this story yesterday to illustrate the works of His merciful hand and lovingkindness.
Prayers are sent for each and every one in this family for their loving hearts and for the little girl who He put into their lives🙏🏻💕
This former Special Education Teacher and current volunteer Court Appointed Special Advocate for abused and neglected children sends prayers, and assurances that your friend is dear indeed.
Dave, my daughter works with such children. She is acutely aware of the signs. And she sees them more and more. Indescribably heartbreaking. God bless you for your devotion to these little ones to whom none of this should ever happen but does. Is there a greater sin on this earth? I don’t think so.
Praying for that precious child and the family that opened their home for her.
When the songs are sung and the stories told she will be remembered . . . 🙂

That look
Israel Update:
-Rockets from Syria into Israel. No injuries. IDF attacks the sources.
-In Dagestan a Muslim Republic in Russia, a mob charged on an airplane that arrived from Israel and wanted to linch Israelis or jews. Police was eventually deployed. 20 injured. The injured are from the mob not the passengers as far as I know.
-Nasrallaha the leader of Hezbollah will make a speech for the first time since the beginning of the war. It will be on Friday.
-Speaker of the IDF said that :”We will look for Sinwar (military leader of Hamas and planner of the 10/7 attack) and we will get to him”.
Note: Sinwar was a prisoner in Israel and was released with over a thousands terrorists for one Israeli soldier. This was a big mistake of Bibi as we see now. He is not the only one of them who killed Israelis again. Also a side note: An Israeli doctor gave Sinwar medical treatment for a brain tumor and saved his life. The granddaughter of the doctor is now kidnapped. There is a Jewish saying: “He who is merciful to the wicked will be wicked to the merciful”.
-Palestinians : IDF bombed close to the two Gazan hospitals. Note : those are the two hospitals that Hamas positioned its command and control under them.
-The Red Cross received an alert from the IDF to evacuate the Al Quds hospital (one of the two). This is the second in size and it has some 14,000 Palestinians who are sheltered in there. I also heard that the Hamas positioned 32,000 civilians in the larger hospital as a human shield. I suspect that the IDF will evacuate one hospital and get to the Command and then let civilians back in and then do the second one. It’s also likely that hostages are under the hospitals. The most important part of the war will be getting under the larger hospital (Shiffa hospital). There is a good chance that the leadership of Hamas is there.
-Kamala Harris VP: “We have no intention on sending forces to Israel or Gaza”.
Note: This is stupid! If you’re already sending forces to the area to deter the Iranians and Hezbollah then why undermine the purpose of it and tell them that “there is no intention”?
This can have an effect on the decision process of Hezbollah if to join the war.
-Gaza are saying they have 8,000 dead in Gaza. 116 dead in the West Bank.
20,242 injured in Gaza, 2000 injured in the West Bank. As I said before, Palestinians tend to inflate numbers, sometimes in hundreds of percentages to gain sympathy and pressure Israel. But I can’t tell the actual number considering there must be many under rabble.
-Biden: (Had another talk with Bibi). “We discussed the efforts to release the hostages and the securing of evacuating American citizens from Gaza. I stressed the need to immediately increase significantly the flow of humanitarian aide to Gaza. I repeated also that Israel has the right to defend itself and it has to do so in accordance to the international humanitarian law.” Note : This angers Israelis. Just imagine that a couple of weeks after 9/11 someone was preaching you about “being carful in your war in Afghanistan and the international law and the humanitarian conditions in Taliban controlled cities.” And imagine that under those cities you had hundreds of American hostages of all ages from 6 months old to 87.
Trump would have understood better than Democrats. I heard that today one of the Progressive ladies in Congress already warned him that he “will lose the Muslim vote if he doesn’t change.”
-The speaker of the Office of Prime Minister : “Israel is strongly opposing calls for a cease fire.” “This is what Hamas wants but we want a reality change. We don’t want to return to the 10/6 situation.” “Israel is not intending to conquer Gaza and stay there forever. But only for a period to clean it up from Hamas.”
-Some Gazans raided the UN Aide and stole supplies. I saw a video. Looks like just people want to get hold of supplies.
-Elon Musk to the Head of Shabak (Israel’s spy agency in Gaza and West Bank): Musk said that “he wants to provide Internet to the Aide agencies. Not for everyone. “
Note: If Hamas gets internet at a war time when we are trying to put them under siege then it’s an interference. Can be a major interference. Looks like Musk is getting the mood in Israel and is trying to work with Israel on it. I hope. His Starlink satellite can provide internet.
I have to also mention that the Shabak’s Head is going to be kicked out big time for the major failure and he has Liberal inclinations which tells you I don’t trust him at all.
-47 Trucks of aide entered Gaza today. 131 total.
-Some 20 rockets fired from Lebanon to Israel. No injuries. Israel attacked Hezbollah targets in return. So far Hezbollah has some 47 dead. Israel also had over 10 dead in the north mainly at the beginning of the war. It looks like Israel learned some lessons. In the beginning every Hezbollah attack ended with dead or injured Israelis. Now they don’t succeed. Hopefully will stay that way. Israel keeping low key responses to avoid escalation.
-More rockets into the Israeli towns by Gaza. No injuries. It was evacuated.
-Today I watched a very good motivational speech that a Commander of a battalion made to his soldiers before entering Gaza. It was very beautiful speech that I may translate and post here. My point is that he told them “that the other Battalion that is already in Gaza is fighting Hamas and already killed tens or hundreds of terrorists,”
-A Member of the Political Wing of Hamas is saying: “We expected a lot of our brothers in Hezbollah and the West Bank but we are amazed by the poor position of the Palestinian Authority (they control the West Bank). The Palestinian Authority and some Arab nations are secretly calling the West to wipe out Hamas”.
-Biden talked with Egyptian President : The Egyptian called for a cease fire to improve the humanitarian situation in Gaza. The two agreed on the need for humanitarian aide. The Egyptian repeated and stressed his position regarding his objection to make Gazans leave Gaza. They talked about the hostages and the Two State Solution.
Note: Egypt is freaking out from having to take in Palestinian refugees. They know the violent tendency of this population. Hamas is also a part of the Muslim Brotherhood at least ideologically and those are the biggest enemies of Sisi (Egyptian President).
-An Israeli senior official: “We decided to negotiate for the hostages under fire.”
He means negotiate while attacking them on the ground. He said that Israel realized Hamas was not serious in the negotiation.
-The Lead Prosecutor of Hague (human rights organization): “We are investigating what occurred on 7/10 and also in Gaza and West Bank.”
Note that this organization is like the UN. It is hostile to Israel to the extreme. What investigation about 10/7 ? We have videos of the atrocities. Again a moral equivalency between ISIS/Hamas to Israel going after them is despicable. Note: We now call “Hamas”,
“ISIS-Hamas”. They have earned the name. In fact in Israel now many calling them “Nazis” because what they did was worse than the Nazis in brutality, obviously not in quantity.
In a few of my Social Media groups they say :”another Nazi dead” when reporting of death of the enemy. I am sharing it so you get the Israeli mood and frame of mind. We were exposed to footage and direct testimonials that are beyond comprehension. Beheadings of babies, executing children in front of their parents and parents in front of their children. And a lot worse. I will stop here to not traumatize you.
-Israel hosted an event with 20 of the leading media heads in the US. Pretty much the major TV networks and news agencies. They watched the 40 min footage of the atrocities. Quite a few of them said that it was “the worst experience of their lives”. There were tears and amazement.
One described terrorist trying to behead a man who was shot in the stomach, with a hoe.
I will stop here as the descriptions can be hard to experience. Some said they now understand how Israel feels and would never want anyone to be exposed to the footage but they now get what happened.
-IDF spread leaflets in Gaza with instructions of how to surrender. There is a suggestion there not to worry about food as Israel will take care of it. This pisses off some Israelis. The general mood in Israel is that we don’t want prisoners. But I personally thought about it and I understand. Soldiers or any fighting force which has no way out can fight a lot better than a force which can escape or surrender. I understand the rationale.
-I saw a video of IDF in the West Bank attacked with rocks and explosives. IDF shoot live and hit a few terrorists. No known injuries to IDF. One of the explosives almost got the Israeli vehicle but exploded just ahead of it. There are a few dead terrorists.
-After Russia hosted senior Hamas in Moscow, Israel called in the Russian Ambassador in Tel Aviv for a condemnation.
-A large demonstration by the Qatar Embassy in London, “bring them home”.
Then = the hostages.
-An international wave of antisemitism. Lost of disgusting incidents. I am sure that there is a lot of security on Jewish centers. I am pretty sure that the source of it is Muslims because antisemitism is very strong in their culture.
-I watched a video of a massive pro Hamas demonstration in LA. Earlier I saw one in NY and DC and NY. Very worrisome because those who support Hamas are likely be harmful to society if not violent. Europe is already in the deep. I hope that just because of the large total population of the US those people will not ruin your homeland.
-Representatives of the kidnapped met the President (in Israel the President is a PR and official representation job. Similar to a king in the UK, the Prime Minister is the real boss). They came out a bit encouraged. I assume he told them something about the strategy of how to get the hostages back.
-A demonstration to return the hostages by the Caesars Palace in Las Vegas.
-4 terrorist killed in a fight after they came out of a tunnel by the border of Gaza. No injuries to IDF.
-3 cars were set on fire in a mixed Muslim Jewish city. The police is investigating. In the last major round in Gaza there were many riots and injured innocent Jewish Israelis by Arab mobs. It went out of control. Some were badly injured and will carry the injuries all their lives. Police had a hard time dealing with it. So Israel made a lot of preparations to prevent it from happening again and in a much higher volume. This one is the first major occurrence. I am sure the police works very hard to get the criminals before more things happen.
-I noticed that the police who used to be quite inactive on incidents of support of terror and incitement is now very hard on it. Tens of people were attested after posting support for Hamas and the crimes. I mean Arab Israelis. I noticed a new funny habit of arresting them and publishing their images with an Israeli flag behind them.
-A report of US intercepted a ballistic missile from Yemen to Israel. An Iranian proxy group.
This is from a good source but of social media. I need to verify it. I Didn’t see it anywhere else yet.
-The 10/7 terror Attack:
31 Americans murdered. 13 missing. 35 French murdered, 9 hostages.
33 Thai murdered, 18 abducted. 21 Ukrainians murdered, 1 missing.
19 Russian Israelis murdered, 2 hostages and 7 missing.
12 England people murdered, 5 missing.
10 Nepal murdered, 1 missing. 10 Germans murdered.
9 Argentinians murders, 21 missing. 6 Canadians murdered , 2 missing.
5 Romanians murdered, 1 abducted. 5 Portuguese murdered, 4 missing.
4 Chinese murdered, 2 missing. 4 Filipinos murdered , 2 missing.
4 Austrians with dual citizenship murdered , 1 missing.
3 Italians with dual citizenship murdered. 3 Belarusian murdered, 1 missing.
3 Brazilians murdered, 1 missing. 3 Peruvians murdered. 2 South Africans murdered.
Chile , Turkey, Spain, Columbia all 1 murdered and 1 missing.
Cambodia, Australia, Honduras , Azerbaijan, Ireland , Switzerland all 1 murdered.
2 Israeli-Hungarians abducted.
2 Mexicans hostages. Netherlands 1 hostage. Uruguay 1 hostage.
Paraguayans, Tanzanians, Sri Lankans , 2 hostages each.
-CNN report of a Fast Response Marine Core are going to the Middle East on an Amphibious Attack Ship. I Don’t know what exactly it means. I got this from a social media source that is 95% right so not 100%. It’s very likely true.
-So far 55 Senior Hamas were eliminated/assassinated. IDF released the images with their positions. Here are a few to give you an idea. The following were assassinated from the air
by combined Intelligence and Air Force operations. Note that there are spies in Gaza who sometimes will direct the Air Force to moving targets like a moving car with a terrorist.
Here are a few examples :
Abu Rachba :The head of the Air wing of Hamas (over drones, gliders, took part in planing 10/7.
Iman Nufel: Commander of the Central forces of Hamas. Was head of Hamas Intelligence. Directed missiles targets in Israel and terrorism.
Shadi Barud: Deputy Intelligence of Hamas and took part in planing 10/7. Close to the Head of Hamas military leader.
Tahatab Abu Zihaban: Head of the Sea force of Gaza. They took part in the 10/7.
Zachariah Abu Mamaer : of the Senior of the political wing of Hamas. Very close to Sinwar the leader of the military wing of Hamas. Was a part of the decision group of the leadership of Hamas.
Joad Abu Smalah : Economy Minister of Hamas.
Hasan Alabsulla: The Head of the Rocket Operations of North Gaza was eliminated.
Rafat Abas: commander of the most significant Battalion of Gaza. His deputy was also killed.
I hope it was beneficial. God Bless you!
Thanks David, I look forward to your updates, and it’s always the first thing I check after work.
Good morning, Rach.
G’day!
Bedtime for me now. Have a lovely day.
Thank you!
Good morning, David
Prayers daily for you and your country and our world, friend.
Will come back to read your reports a bit later.
Thank you and good day for you.
Shalom, David🙏🏻 And again, thank you for your detailed updates. They remain our most reliable source of information in these terrible times, my friend.
?w=640&dpr=2&q=50
David, Robert Spencer has written this astounding article for one of the few excellent sites today. He is a good writer and an honest one. No matter what needs to be said which others don’t want to hear, he says it unapologetically.
I make no comment except to say I could hardly believe what I was reading.
Leaving it here for you to read and digest. Best, dear sir. B🙏🏻
https://www.frontpagemag.com/israels-president-the-hamas-attack-does-not-represent-islam/
Thank you Betsy, The President of Israel is a Representative position only with no execution or policy power. They are not elected by the public.
There are many voices in Israel to cancel this position, claiming it’s a waste of money.
Mr. Herzog the President is coming from the Center Left bloc who want a Two State Solution.
He is closely allied to the Globalits (Biden, Macron, Trudeau, etc…).
Those people help each other to progress in politics, with money, media and otherwise.
President Herzog tried to be the Prime Minister when he headed a large party. He got nowhere in the elections.
Israelis understand Islam and violence against us. Unless they are on the left and the left is blind all over the world.
Glad for that explanation. Thank you. Still incomprehensible to me that any Jew could think the natural political home for them is the Left who in its least worse state tolerates Jews and in its most virulent state hates them with a pathological passion.
Each country has its own political idiosyncrasies which aren’t understood by those not living in them.
No matter how old one gets education never stops. Which I learned only when my university degreed self began her education only when I moved overseas. I didn’t realize how truly ignorant of the world I was until that point. Believe me I rectified that pathetic state in short order…and in fact am still rectifying…
Thank you David. Stay safe. God speed
This is the IDF in Gaza as of today. The only footage available.
I am getting reports that they are doing a good job and killed tens or probably hundreds of terrorists
I think IDF had two injured. No dead.

Rock of Ages
Ben Carson’s endorsement of Donald Trump was the highlight of my day [my comments on that here]
Here’s my favorite Good Mornin’ song to share with my Treepers! This is the Day the Lord has made. We have every reason to choose to rejoice!
Well, Doc … since I’m old and a little paunchy now … I might as well post a video of an old, paunchy Glen Tillbrook … singing about Black coffee in bed 😜🤦♂️
Run On
Elvis
One of my favorite Elvis songs!. I just pictured him singing it personally to the WEF, the Swamp/Cesspool, to the liars and cheaters
My parents sang in a gospel group and also did country & western shows. At one point they backed up Ray Walker (one of the Jordanaires) in a fundraising show. The Jordainaires are the group with Elvis in this recording.
Thank you CountryDoc, great to know. This CD in my car. Elvis Gospel 3cd set in the house.
They play all the time.
Have lost count of how many Elvis Gospel cd’s I’ve given away. When a friend hears…likes….mentions…..they receive a few days later. Especially when it’s a friend’s grandchild. Who knew? Current young teens, liking Elvis Gospel. Hope for our world.
Mornin’ all.
Mad is a state of mind I could be in 24/7 it’s very hard to resist the enemy, I know him see him all around. Gods word the sword for his dispatching.
We all knew what would happen when they started emptying ships full of Muslims in ports around the world then we opened our gates.
People will still imagine in a fantasy that Muslims are not unstable in all their ways. All their ways.
Im always beating on religion and harping on relationship with our lord, this is why, and I will expand a wee bit.
If I tell you “god told me to murder Jews and cut off babies heads in his name…..last night.” You would immediately know it was not God and the relationship was not of God but of either religion or demons.
If I told you “ God spoke to me about my hate for his creation, said I needed to examine why and understand it’s origins, don’t follow any man who hates.” You would see the discrepancy and possibly examine self, the Bible is the benchmark to go by. His word is sweet s honey, it’s nourishment,. Is hate addressed in his word?
“Eat my flesh, drink my blood” Jesus says, that’s close relationship. A desire to become as ones maker.
Ive listened to Muslims, it’s just about the ending not the race. Lie,cheat,steal,kill, destroy, as their father does. The deception is either complete or obscure enough to be hidden from society but, to take on that label alone is a curse and ancients would see it that way.
Gods in control,
The acolyte of satan Soros is under that cloak.

‘Demonic’: Ray Comfort Explains ‘Hatred, Venom’ of Hamas Against Israel, Power of Bible Prophecy
https://www2.cbn.com/news/world/demonic-ray-comfort-explains-hatred-venom-hamas-against-israel-power-bible-prophecy
Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear, and who keep what is written in it, for the time is near. – Revelation 1:3
Revelation is a revealing, an unveiling of a mystery or an understanding not grasped initially. Scripture’s book of Revelation is not only a revealing of things to come, but more importantly, a revealing of Christ Himself. God could have spelled out the events to come in an even more specific way, but He allows His followers to be blessed by seeking Him through continued study and meditation on His Word.
In fact, He has announced a blessing to all those who read, those who hear, and those who keep what is written. At the time of John’s writing, the people of God were suffering under severe persecution and needed encouragement. The message was to give them strength and hope. It was also a message intended to make them examine themselves and areas in their lives that needed correction.
Some people take the privilege of reading and studying God’s Word for granted. His blessing comes to those who are convicted in such a way that draws their hearts to live as He has commanded. It is a life of repentance, humility, steadfastness, and prayer that will be blessed by God. In light of that, pray for the people of America who have lost their way to return to the Lord and learn of God’s promises.
As this month draws to a close, make a commitment to dedicate yourself to the study of God’s Word. Regularly examine your life to find any areas where you have not allowed God to be Master. Give thanks to Him that His written word is readily available to read. Pray for those who teach the Scriptures that they stand firmly on the solid ground of truth.

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.
BE MY VOICE
JESUS LOVES THE LITTLE CHILDREN
CHILD NOT CHOICE
St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle, be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him we humbly pray; and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God,
cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen.
PLEASE PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER
WHO AM I
Who am I that God cares for me
Who is it I am supposed to be
What is it I am called to do
What makes me worthy of You
Have you ever pondered God
Have you ever wondered laud
Have you ever contemplated
Have you ever elevated – God
Did you know that you are blessed
With gifts and talents and zest
Have you ever considered why
You are the apple of God’s eye
We have jobs, titles, and responsibilities
Accountabilities acceptabilities permeabilities
No matter how confusing it all may be
God has a purpose and plan for thee
When guided by the Holy Spirit
We are moved if we can hear it
The voice of God from within
Where to go when to begin
We believe and receive
We are able to achieve
Because God wills it for us
We obey He gives the plus
We are here on an eternal quest
On our pathway we are but a guest
This life is our test to be worthy
For where we will end this journey
Have you ever been asked
To do something over tasked
Impossible for you but not for Him
God did not chose you on a whim
God knows the beginning and the end
It is your free will that may not bend
To His will we must be fully aware
Only way to know is through prayer
Whatever He asks of you to do
You must be willing and able on cue
You must obey His daily command
It is not a wish it is a demand
So if you are daily thinking
About God’s plan to be linking
Listen to what the Spirit asks of you
Then you will know just what to do
If failure plagues you – anxiety too
If life in general is making you blue
If you are lost without a compass
Get off your bum kick up a rumpus
The trick to making the distress stop
Is to get up and move till you plop
Override the mental with exercise
Be not fearful and just be otherwise
God has a remedy for whatever ails you
Tap into His Spirit sit not and just stew
For greater is He who lives within
Than he whose goal is mire you in sin
Know that God wants only what is best
For you to successfully complete the test
Develop those gifts and talents for your story
Give Him the effort He deserves for His Glory

MORNING
It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the Lord. Lam. 3:26
Hath God forgotten to be gracious? hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? Psa. 77:9
I said in my haste, I am cut off from before thine eyes: nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplications when I cried unto thee. Psa. 31:22
Shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though He bear long with them? I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Luke 18:7, 8
Wait on the LORD, and he shall save thee. Prov. 20:22
Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass. Psa. 37:7
Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the LORD. II Chron. 20:17
Let us not be weary in well doing…. in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. Gal. 6:9
Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain. James 5:7
EVENING
Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines for our vines have tender grapes. Song 2:15
Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults. Psa. 19:12
Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled. Heb. 12:15
Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth? Gal. 5:7
He which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ: only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ. Phil. 1:6, 27
The tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindieth And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell. The tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. James. 3:5, 6, 8
Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt. Col. 4:6

Today a terrorist stabbed a police officer in Jerusalem and badly wounded him. Payers for the Officer.
Below you see an Israeli Border Police Officer shoots the terrorist. One long distance shot (200-300 feet) and a kill. Iron sights only. Real life conditions, not a range.
Border Police in Israel are the most front line in the war on terror.

Legal question for anyone who knows more than I do about this:
INTUIT, seller of the very popular Turbotax software used to prepare Federal and state tax returns is now requiring a copy of the user driver’s license, passport or other government document in order to use their software AFTER purchased from any vendor or downloaded from their web site. If no personal account and documents are provided you are stuck with the software you bought.
Does I NTUIT have any right to make such a demand. It reminds me of a guy named Al Gore talking about “legal controlling authority.”
By the way, INTUIT does not provide any indication that they will support you financially in case the documents provided by their clients are stolen from their servers.
I suspect sales of Turbotax will crater this time around.
Any information, advise or suggestion will be very much appreciated.
This does not sound consistent with the way Turbotax/Intuit operates. Logged into my account and no hint of anything like this. If you did not experience this personally then I would meet this with skeptism. A possibility is enhanced security for working on your information on line. No one should be asking passport info and when filing electronically they will ask for govmnt id to ensure your State issued ID is correct.
dunewall: please don’t be so quick at casting doubts. I’ve been using Turbotax for well over 30 years. Every year I purchased the CD with my preferred version of Turbotax. I never had to set up an account. I printed out my forms and filed the printed version. So, only the tax authority and myself had copies.
Now, having an account has become compulsory to use all versions, including the desktop version purchased from sellers such as Amazon.com. No account, TOUGH! says INTUIT. No submission of the required copy of a document’s leaves you with a useless purchase.
Look and see if Tax Act has the same requirement; it is a competitor to TurboTax, and if they also now require that information it may be a new IRS decision. If not, it could only be a TurboTax or Intuit thing to ensure any customers, past or future, are not victims of identity theft.
Malwarebytes, an online provider for blocking malicious events from happening to their clients is now offering identity theft protection and insurance for up to $2 million so might be a good backup if that is the worry about provided actual identity information to an online tax preparing outfit.
This might be a good place to start your search too; the IRS’s website. This article is from 2021 about their then new guidelines for identity verification so the site may have newer information:
https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/irs-unveils-new-online-identity-verification-process-for-accessing-self-help-tools
and this article is from September of this year. It seems like, if you can verify with someone at Intuit, or TurboTax, that providing drivers license or other information is now a required, it may be because they want to comply with any new, yet unpublished, IRS requirements.

this substack author may be out of Australia, assuming this because he is discussing a Senate hearting that appears to be in the Australian government. It discusses the Covid-19 vaccines and that people are catching on to the knowledge that these ‘vaccines’ were really genetically modifying mechanisms.
titled “Genetically Modified Organons” and as the author, and a commenter state, ‘fraud vitiates everything’.
Perhaps Australia will be the nation that begins the retribution for what these scientists and politicians did to the people of the world? It would be a fitting place to see the recoil effect to begin from there, a nation that locked up perfectly healthy people for not playing along with totalitarianism.

As mentioned in a post before stratospheric warming is being forecasted by the European and GFS global ensembles. Here is for the week ending Nov 11th on the European.
The GFS is similar. If this comes to pass and migrates as both model ensembles indicate then both N. America and Europe are in for a colder winter from late December through January than we have seen in some time.
As Joe points out the MJO appears that it will hang out in sectors 1 and 8, which are cold phases for both and which is the opposite of last year when it stayed mostly in 4 and 5.
Further, though it is an El Nino winter and the major government forecasters are basing their probability projections on a typical El Nino winter, this El Nino is not typical. The ONI (Oceanic Nino Index) indicates a strong El Nino but the Multivariate ENSO Index, the Southern Oscillation Index, and the Pacific Tripole are all out of phase with what they should be in a strong El Nino. Joe says the reason why is because of the relatively high SSTs and says “….we have never seen anything like this.”
Though Weatherbell’s current winter season forecast for the US has remained unchanged from the preliminary.
Joe says that this year his concern is that will be colder and snowier than they have forecasted which is the opposite of what he was concerned about last winter and what turned out to be at least for the eastern US.
A great speech by Bibi. Really dumb question by ABC ‘journalist’.
Update Israel:
In a daring Sperial Forces operation in the heart of Gaza an Israeli female soldier was rescued and is well and healthy.
Celebrations around her home. Yesterday we saw her mother in a desperate prayer full of tears. Today the mom and us are happy.
Also very important is the boost of motivation that the soldiers are getting now.
that is wonderful news, david, and also a really good point about the boost of motivation! a win-win!!
do you happen to know what happened to the female (I think she was an Israeli soldier too) that was put into that truck with the terrorists? she is the one with the gray sweatpants that were all bloody (on her backside) and she had on a black t-shirt. It was the photo that was used in a lot of news/websites. One photo/video had her sitting up in the back and getting pulled out, then another looked like she was being led to the side door of the truck by the bad guy. Her hands were tied behind her back.
I hate to even ask, but I have been praying for her so much.
I don’t know. But today another abducted female was announced dead. We are dealing with subhumans.
https://www.the-sun.com/news/9449723/shani-louk-dead-mum-update-hamas/
Thank you david…
and yes, I saw that horrible news about shani. It’s inconceivable.
I remember seeing that video played over and over; her face was blurred. The very last time I saw it, they had also blurred her bloody backside, and then they didn’t run it any more.
Did they not see the blood right away? I spotted it the first time I saw it and was appalled. It took days for them to stop running that.
I hope she died fast (given what those animals did to women).
One the run for two years!
I love those successful rescues! My eyes were leaking a bit….
