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 †

Prayers for everyone, and especially for JWoo and Savannah
Tasha Tudor reminding us of the simple joys of life.
I am incredibly humbled by your prayers.
I have been dutiful to “bring up a child in the way she should go and when they grow up they will not depart from it”… my paraphrase. With the exception of one area… we served faithfully within churches for years. We were not pew warmers. We were active in the work of the church… until we came into fellowship with the mega church here.
For reasons too lengthy to go into, we were egregiously and adversely affected by that church due to some very serious health matters for kiddo.
There was a very serious fracture of the church due to critical race theory that took over the pulpit.
Then as COVID encroached and we all sheltered not knowing what was being dealt with, we started learning the true nature of people and the factions formed.
Now… “once you see the puppet strings you can’t unsee them” coupled simultaneously with my knowledge of Scripture and how a church should function, plus the warnings given by God in Revelation… it has been impossible for us to find another church home. Impossible. The corruption in the churches is so deep and I lament over it.
I study at home and I share with her things I find, and she seems to love to learn about what I find…. but she is not self-seeking.
She asserts her faith when possible… at least in the past… remember the two snakes of Pharoah and Moses for the cannibalism assignment in US History?
However, she does not reach for or use her Bible independently of me. She does pray, as I went through her journals with this latest calamity. She does pray to Him.
I admit, too, to jealousy. Jealousy that I can’t just drop everything and head to retreat to be with The Lord and just immerse myself in His Word.
I struggle with being “everything to everyone” and I’ve come to a point where I’ve said an impactful and job jeopardizing “NO!!!”.
Just because a person knows how to do many somethings, doesn’t mean one should do them all simultaneously.
Beware of the person who has nothing left to lose, for there is no greater destruction left for them… and thus the person just pulls up the tent stakes and leaves. One must set a limit to risk and “givers set limits because takers never do”.
We are there.
This human nature.
This elevation and glorification of evil.
This lying and thieving and raping of all that is precious in commodity, resource, person, and Spirit.
This economy.
It has very real and dire consequences that we are tangibly experiencing.
I am Ride or Die with God.
Yes, we can believe that Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior and we can repent of our sins and be blessed by Him with Eternal life. And that is full stop what we all need.
There is, though, the falling in love with God our Father and wanting to honor him and serve Him with our all in all. That’s where we get to know Him and His Ways, His Thoughts, and His Reasons… only through His Word.
I’m starting a deep dive into Job, because Joan and Job seems to be synonymous right now. But I will not depart from His Presence no matter what. Even if satan comes to take my child. She was never really mine to begin with, but I will fight like never before for her soul and that of her cohorts and administration.
I won’t give up. Not today, satan, not today.
Good morning JWoo! Joining the prayers for you and Savannah.
Good day, Grandpa M.
Love and much gratitude to you and yours.
Good morning, sis💕🌞
I have been scrolling through a few reliable sites I visit which offer food for contemplation. And suddenly I remembered I had not checked in for quite a few days with the excellent Lew Rockwell. He limits his links to 12 per day only. He chooses well which ones to publish.
This essay instantly caught my eye. I thought of you immediately especially given what has been going on in your and Savannah’s lives.
It seems you have company in your immutable focus on Almighty God as your strength and the helmsman in your (for the moment) storm tossed boat.
You know what I think about “coincidences”… there are none 😉🙏🏻
You may need a ☕ to accompany you whilst you read, but I hope you will do… and approve this wonderful message 💕
https://restoringtruth.substack.com/p/to-be-a-mother
…thought of you with this one as well, Woo!!
No coincidences 😎
some kitty paw prints in the floor tiles at Wormleighton Manor, Warwickshire
The mischievous cat walked over the wet tiles before they were fired sometime between 1506-1512 AD
She wanted to leave her mark
Haha!!! Some things never change 😎😘
They can never replace that one ❤️
💕🐾💕🐾💕🐾
I love them all ❤️
I have read the article you posted and I have to laugh that I was somewhere in the middle between the two parenting styles outlined.
The kid “hopped up on juice boxes and Goldfish crackers” made me laugh… hard. Kid is 17 and still loves those blasted things.
A funny story…I had a Honda CRV when she was small and I marveled how year after year I would find new features on this car. Two years into owning it, the AC outlet in the back cargo area. Four years in, the little lever that pops UP the seats to where I could fully access the floor underneath the seat to vacuum. Where, after that amount of time, accumulated probably 2 pounds of perfectly preserved Goldfish crackers and Cheez-its in every shape, flavor, and variation thereof!!! I felt content that if we ever got in a car accident and drove off a cliff, Savannah will have saved our lives as we would be able to subsist on the treasure trove of goodies and snacky snacks she dropped between the seats.
Once kid started attending the fancy private school…that did not publish prices in their school cafeteria… because no one there worried about prices… I had to get after her about purchasing four different versions of cheese crackers at the same time… but in varying shapes…. that she was squirreling away in her backpack. She spent $12 on four little cups of crackers… enough to buy six boxes of the irritating products. Open charge accounts in the lunch room were a challenge, thus someone carried her lunch, and continues to do so to this day!
Oh my word!!! You made me laugh so hard with that article. So relatable and a big heavy sigh to be mostly through the journey.
No matter the fashionable Dr Spock-style books, I can only provide her witness to my relationship with the Lord, hopefully help her find her own, give her shelter, warm meals, and love.
Blessings to you and Chris, Betsy. I pray that you both can get some therapeutic sleep tonight.
Joan, (didn’t know your first name til now) you are going through a stressful time, as is your daughter. Hang in there, never quit, and she will recognize the importance of that. If not now, then later.
Sometimes the strength of being the example shows up years after having provided that example. Case in point, I’m still learning things from my Dad, even though he passed going on six years ago. Sometimes it takes time, growth, and maturity to recognize something that was more beneficial than you knew at the time.
I’ve barely been able to peek in here the last little bit, but I did see bits of posts to indicate y’all are facing some challenges.
You will work through them.
A long time ago when I was a kid in college, a teacher was having a particularly bad day. She mentioned a small bit of it to us. Another student, who had a good head on his shoulders, looked at her and said “it’s just your turn, it’ll pass”.
She later reflected on that and decided it made sense. She also pointed it out about a year later, in a different class.
Job is excellent to study.
I also find myself going back to Proverbs again and again…….and again.
Proverbs 15:1-3:
“A gentle answer turns away wrath,
But a [a]harsh word stirs up anger.
2 The tongue of the wise makes knowledge pleasant,
But the mouth of fools spouts foolishness.
3 The eyes of the Lord are in every place,
Watching the evil and the good.”
I have been trying to use this for quite awhile in dealing with some things with my own, grown, kids.
Something jumped out me from these verses a few years ago, even though I’ve read them countless times over most of my life.
It’s the first part of verse 2, “The tongue of the wise makes knowledge pleasant”.
In my translation, New American Standard, the word “acceptable” is used whereas in the NAS 1995 version that word is “pleasant”.
I have found myself not using that solid bit of wisdom as well as I could have. It’s not just the telling of right from wrong, but the relaying of the info in a way that makes the knowledge acceptable, or pleasant, where people can recognize the benefit of doing what is right.
You and your daughter can and will sort through the issues. It may take some time, but with God’s help, you’ll get there.
Y’all are in my prayers.
Greg
Wise advise, Greg. Thank you.
Ha ha… this lady here Eva Roark is my dear friend who’s known Savannah and me since kiddo was 2 years old!
She told me she was thrown into moderation… now we know why! Ha ha
What name are you going by now trying to avoid the three letter agencies?
Ha! Thank you for rescuing me!
Hi Greg1,
I am sure your father is quite proud of the gentleman he raised and is smiling from Heaven knowing his words were not lost on you. They collect in the well of our psyche to draw from when we thirst.
The story you mentioned about your friend and your teacher “it’s just your turn, it’ll pass”. For that young man to have that kind of wisdom means he must have walked through refining fire. I bet your teacher continues to hold to that encouragement and has gifted the same word to others, as you have done so today.
I have so much to learn.
Thank you for your guidance and wisdom.
I am humbled to be so adopted and loved.
I was upset with what happened to Savannah, as I believe I can speak for others here, that she is loved here and we are concerned for her (and you) and share in your joy when she is happy/successful. She has been ‘adopted’ by us.
In my beliefs anyone who is an Animal lover, as I know you both are, are good people and have a higher state of awareness and lots of empathy. One of my patron saints is Francis, that runs through both sides of my family.
I do not like bullies, as I have had to straighten out a few over the years, and it really bothers me when good people have to encounter that, especially kids.
One of my ‘refuges’ growing up was birds, my dogs & cats, animals in general, my nana, my motorcycle, and books! I learned about Christ/chivalry/truth/empathy from books. I can suggest a few authors that you can check out to see if they would match Savannah’s interests? Lloyd Alexander who loved Cats, but especially his Chronicles of Pyrdain, which has a strong female character Eilonwy and a giant house cat Llyan. Alexander Key has a bunch, the two Witch Mountain books being the most famous. My sister loved Joan Aiken books, also Susan Cooper “The Dark Is Rising” series. No list would not include CS Lewis’s “Narnia”
I hope this helps.
Best to you two (and your animal family)
Very, very well said dear ‘Woo. Blessings and prayers for both you and Savannah. 🙂
Blessings and prayers for you as well, dear friend, G.
Dear sis! If I may suggest…
I, too, left the main church because of the corruption of the Word. Every pastor I had, had an affair. It hurt deeply that those we sit under cannot live what they preach. But God does have His people and I’m so thankful for that.
The book above has been the very best book I have ever read. It has changed my life and my relationship with my Heavenly Father has grown by leaps and bounds. Even Savannah can read it!
I do believe that God’s Faithfulness will bring you guys much closer to His Throne…because you persevere!
Big (((hugs)))
May I recommend a little volume on Job entitled The Gospel According to Job. Mark Mason. Each two-page chapter is an invitation to think, understand, rest, rejoice, marvel, learn….soaking in life as it is, as God meets us as He is.
Good morning, dear friend💕 Our beloved St Francis…so welcome.
Here’s to our faith in the Almighty and His lovingkindness and mercies which are never-ending.
Ty dear Bet.
Common Redpoll. A winter finch from way up North. They occasionally winter in the New England states and a little further south. I saw them at the famous bird hot spot of Sandy Hook NJ, though of of my old neighbors who was a longtime birder and bird feeder told me she had one in her yard in the 1970’s.
Isn’t he just wonderful??? How those littlest of God’s creations make it through the brutal Northern winters is a miracle to me, Colkitto. I worry for all which have to endure them. Bless you for your beautiful posts to our dear friend. You are an absolute treasure for us in our branches 😘 Thank you for your kindness…
Your to kind auntie.
Oh that sweet Corgi! 💕 They are such collegial little dogs. And from what I know of them the best company one could wish for…Bless, dear “nephew”. Love you🤗
I love this picture!
Betsy, you reminded me of a picture Savannah drew when she was 4 years old.
I drew the halo after I marveled when she brought this home from school. I said “Savannah look… you drew an Angel of God”
Oh Woo!! She really did, didn’t she? You don’t suppose
Someone helped her draw it, do you? It’s sweet…lovely 💕
(Thanks, girl… don’t expect any problems tonight after the last 😉😘)
Israel Update:
-The White House is asking Israel to increase the fuel supply to Gaza. After Israel agreed and got some 10 trucks with fuel today the US is saying it should be constant and more. Now this is something to discuss. The Israeli small War Cabinet approved the trucks. This brings about anger in Israel. People are concerned it will go to Hamas, me too, but I listened to one of the people who are close to Netanyahu and he explained. He said that the US was demanding it because they need fuel for the sewage system and communications. He said that this is only 3-4% of what they really need. He said there is a concern of spread of illness if the sewage keep flooding the area like it is somewhat now.
So honestly I can’t tell if it’s a simple surrender to Biden at the expense of the lives of the IDF or not. I mean Hamas needs fuel to operate the ventilation of the tunnels. I have a feeling that there are ways to supervise it and if there are violations they will shut it off.
-IDF operated in the West Bank and killed 5 terrorists. One was the head of a PLO terror branch and another one had Israeli blood on his hands.
-The IDF is expanding operations in Gaza. We are at a stage in North Gaza where they clear the areas above and below and then advance slowly. They pushed more in the North.
-Netanyahu said in an interview: “When we defeat Hamas we will have to make sure there won’t arise a new “Hamas”. Like Germany and Japan”. He talks about “Must be a civil government that is not a part of the brainwash to kill jews”.
Suggesting that the Palestinian Authority is not it.
-The war cabinet didn’t take the hostage release deal of only 50 released of the choice of Hamas. Israel want all the children and no separation of mothers from children. I don’t think Israel want the none Israelis. They should be released anyways as they are not related to the area. Israel also want a larger deal. Basically Bibi took the opinion of the Chief of Staff and Defense Minister to keep pushing Hamas to the corner and get a better deal.
-A few Israelis injured at the Lebanon area. Not badly. IDF strikes back.
-Speaker of the IDF was asked if Israel will attack in South Gaza? The answer is that “any place there is Hamas we will act”. “At the time we choose”. Note: They are preparing. It’s about to happen. Reports saying that the leaders and hostages are there so Israel must go there.
-Mike Tyson attended a donor event for the IDF and now there are strong attempts to cancel him. He apologized and said he just came with a friend and wasn’t aware of what it was all about”.
-Protesters broke into Pizza tower in Italy and put on the building a huge Palestinian flag.
-Israel is putting out a very powerful video of how women organizations in the world don’t get involved in rape of Israeli women by Hamas and kidnapped women. It’s a powerful video. I will post it if possible. You got to see this one.
– IDF exposes a tunnel in Shifa Hospital. And a control room. Etc…
-Rockets to the center of Israel by Tel Aviv. One injured medium injury. Note: Hamas probably uses the south of Gaza to fire. I have no other explanation to the never ending rocket fire.
-UN Experts blame Israel of “genocide”. Did you know that the population in Gaza has been steadily growing in the past few decades?
-Elon Musk shared a tweet from an antisemite about “jews against white people”. Now that Israel is undergoing the worst murder of its citizens since the Holocaust this is what he choose to re-tweet?
The White House condemned him.
Now this is a subject I am interested to hear about from you my friends. I know everyone cheered when he took over the damned Liberal platform and opened it up. On the other hand he is odd. His “Neuralink” project in which he is trying to implant a micro cheep in human brains seems to me evil. I don’t know a lot about it but any implantations in a human brain seems like a misunderstanding of the human spirit at best and pure evil control at worst.
On the other hand he spent hours with Netanyahu a couple of months ago. Netanyahu wanted to “pick his brain” about AI. Netanyahu knows that AI is moving fast and wanted Israel to lead.
I also know he was on DeSantis side and not Trump. What do you think of this character? He is confusing me.
-The new Foreign Minister of Britain will come to Israel next week. His name is david Cameron. Note: Another “sympathy visit” from the “occupied England”. Remember they fired the last Foreign Minister because she called the Palestinian Pro Hamas demonstrations “hate demonstrations” and called to a harder hand of the police.
I would probably recommend her to be the next Prime Minister. As I said. When one get attacked or fired for telling the truth it’s a sign of a moral decline of the organization. In this case the organization is the British Government.
-On the same note I watched an interview of Jeremy Corbyn the ex-Leader of the Labour Party with Piers Morgan. He asked him no less than 20 times “If Hamas is a terror organization?” Corbyn refused to answer this question and exposed his disgusting state of mind. To think this man was almost a British Prime Minister.
I am curious what my friends here are thinking about the state of the UK. On one hand there was the Brexit and they seemed conservatives. On the other hand look at how they arrested scores of patriots while letting the Hamas protesters go on unhinged. And look at the BBC that is awful.
-Israel shot down a drone from Lebanon.
-The Enemies of Israel are denying the claim of rapes committed in 10/7.
CNN published an investigation, 6 min program only, with very harsh testimonials of rape incidents.
There were some very very extreme testimonials from Paramedic on young women who were raped and murdered. Also a couple of eye witnesses. This was beyond rape. I wouldn’t even want to go over it. Can hurt a soul to even listen. I was already exposed to it long ago and will skip now.
Israel also briefed other news organizations. Israel is also after Women organizations who are silent. Israel considers documentation of what really happened as a very important factor. Israel already have 700 testimonials from 10/7, tens of thousands of video clips of the horrors. (Note: Tens of thousands sounds extreme but it is from a reliable source). It is the largest investigative case in Israeli history. There are evidences they trained for years to do this massacre. Terrorists said in interrogations that the purpose of beheadings and rapes was to instill pain and anxiety in the people of Israel. Women organizations in Israel conducted protests against International women organizations. And by the way kidnapping women is also a serious crime. No word from any Women organizations.
-The Golani Brigade which took a strong hit on 10/7 when caught in bed in a base, have now took over a large Hamas base that was a main icon of training in Gaza and was used to launch the 10/7 attack. They made there a ceremony for their 72 fallen soldiers. They created a huge Star of David on this space, so large that is clearly seen fro the air.
I will try to share the video. It’s really nice. As I said before, symbology is important to show the enemy that we are standing tall and taking over symbols of Hamas iconic laces. The day before the Hamas Parliament was blown up on video and also we saw IDF in their main Military police center.
Thank You my friends for your care,
God Bless You!
Thanks for the update David. Yes the UK has had it ito moral clarity.

I am sure that this Prime Minister is not a friend. He never stood really strong about it.
There is a British leadership trait to “Self-Promote”.
A hundred years ago, British leadership affected global affairs. Today, British leadership affects national affairs. A short bit into the future will see British leadership affecting local affairs.
As British global influence wanes, there goes the basis of their economic model. I think how the British promote themselves today will affect their future role in global finance.
Today there is a “hub-bub” within both British political parties. Globally, people will pay no mind. The world moves on. At some point Britain will determine what is best for them after finding themselves losing influence in the world.
Larry: Well said. Eventually, Britain will just have a rump government of grumpy Anglos who are, in actual fact, ruled by non-Anglos.
Charlotte99: Ms. Phillips means well, but cannot bring herself to state the obvious. She should make Aliya and free herself from the need to be a “good Brit.”
You are a kind and generous person; but I think that we too often give good intentions too high an importance, as if we should just wink at the clumsiness otherwise. Not to squash altogether what good there really is in there; but when decisions and actions are taken, THOSE are really what turns out to be the true intentions, aren’t they? Weak hearted and easily manipulated with their hands on the levers: are still accountable, I think. We can put blame where blame belongs; on the ones “forcing” certain actions to be taken, and who is there cardboard cut out front man; but the simpleton which lent himself to be so used? He or she is not innocent.
I wasn’t saying that you said any of those things: you just got me to thinking. I agree with you.
And this about the rapes and horrendous attacks on Jewish women.

I am waiting for the video to be more easily available. It’s now only on Ynet in Hebrew and hard to show it because it’s hidden by ads.
This is going to go viral. It is very emotional and shames the women organizations to the core. I will probably find it and post here. You may be able to locate it on the English version of YNET.
5 Facts about Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza
1. Israel helped build al-Shifa Hospital
2. Al-Shifa’s Violent History
3. Hamas’ Torture Center in al-Shifa HospitalIn 2014, after years of rumors, Amnesty International issued a damning report detailing Hamas’ use of al-Shifa Hospital as a torture center. Those who oppose Hamas are abducted by masked Hamas operatives and taken to al-Shifa Hospital for brutal treatment and murder.
4. Hamas’ Abuse of its Human ShieldsIsraeli intelligence estimates that 5,000-7,000 Gazans are seeking shelter in al-Shifa Hospital right now, while Hamas operates its headquarters from the complex. Each person is a human shield for Hamas.
5. Rejecting Israel’s Aid

Rape is a crime of power and control…no matter who does it to who.
The feminists groups are busy meeting with Gays for Hamas /sarc
Ejits all of them!
I’ve posted several times, a video from about eight years ago, called, “Why are people afraid (A 1400 year secret about Political Islam) – Dr. Bill Warner”
I was actually a bit surprised that so few responded to it. Maybe now, with the subject such a hot concern AGAIN, more will take the time to look into it. It is a very good reportage on the true nature of Islam, and quite clearly lays out the REAL HISTORY. I highly recommend that every Christian, and good and honest person who wants to understand what is going on, and why; watch this video.
“Why are people afraid (A 1400 year secret about Political Islam) – Dr. Bill Warner”

To answer you about Elon Musk. He is essentially amoral. Not that he wishes harm on people but that he just doesn’t much care. His passions are in futuristic technology and making money. Musk will do what he perceives to be furthering those interests. Most of that involves profiting from deals he makes with various governments. He is the greatest recipient of “corporate welfare” in the world. Where Musk does seem to do something “philanthropic”, look for the ulterior angle. For example, providing satellite internet service to Ukraine gave Musk enormous leverage with pro-Ukraine governments. For example, purchasing twitter was intended not for free speech (that was marketing) but to gain a platform that the government subsidizes (bargaining power to the extent Musk is perceived as not completely controllable) that he intends to use to develop “X”, the “everything” platform.
.
Thanks. I think you’re right.
There is a vid of a paralyzed woman using said implanted chip to control a device to feed herself a chocolate bar.
Technologies like this can have a large impact for the better on the lives of people.
But they can be easily abused. And said abuse is a common sci fi plot.
Me, I can imagine living in a world where my implanted technology is obsolete. Say they had implanted 3G technology, but now it is no longer supported. You can’t buy and use a fancy new cpu without also buying a motherboard to plug it into. And have you ever tried finding replacements for some eclipsed and abandoned technology? Even plugs go obsolete. Remember all the old cabling that no longer is made?
Every technology is guaranteed to become obsolete. Why put any of it in our heads?
And don’t get me started on malware. Ever been victimized by ransom ware that encodes all your files and demands payment in the hope that they will give you a way to decode it? Even if they aren’t able to mess up your memories, being reliant on something so vulnerable to hacking is also not for me.
And what happens when they do start storing memories and giving knowledge through implanted tech? We just saw all previous knowledge of how to cope with viruses erased so that we would follow their orders. And can you imagine only being allowed to know what Wiki decides you should know?
.
Yes. It will be abused. (As will other medical devices “monitored” via the internet.)
In vehicles, anti-lock brakes, and driver “aids” and other computer-assisted functions have transmogrified into GPS tracking that tattles on people involved in accidents, kill-switches, and other people-control mechanisms.
Cell phones, which stink at giving police your exact location in the event of a medical emergency in which you cannot talk, now are used for tracking general location data in order to arrest people.
Robo vaccuums take pictures of your private residence and send them godknowswhere; the IoT thermostat can prevent you from setting the temperature as you like it; “convenient” refrigerators can transmit to -whoever- what you are eating; at least one ring doorbell arrangement caused Amazon to shut down everything in one man’s “smart home”…
Nix.
.
“Cell phones, which stink at giving police your exact location in the event of a medical emergency in which you cannot talk, now are used for tracking general location data in order to arrest people.”
🙂 Funny how that is! The things really don’t work for what they market them as; but are perfectly functioning to track who they have to keep an eye on.
I know what you mean, Jim. And I agree about the “potential” for good; but I honestly think that the whole reason for the technology being invented, has nothing really to do with making lives better at all; but that is used for marketing purposes. To me, the whole thing is aimed at one end, which we all see the course of the world heading at a dreadful speed.
“Every technology is guaranteed to become obsolete. Why put any of it in our heads?” Because I think that “they” are counting on making us obsolete and extinct, before they’ve finished with their dream world.
David, my niece in Israel seemed angry with me when I tried to explain that Jewish organizations need to stop supporting anti-white hatred. I did not wish to anger or hurt her in this awful time, however the ongoing issue is obvious to many including Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens, and does need to be addressed. The flawed human being Elon Musk is noting other flawed organizations and there is a hard truth in what he says.
https://www.aclu.org/news/immigrants-rights/why-jewish-organization-suing-stop-muslim-ban
I am not anti-Muslim or anti-anyone because of their ancestry, as ancestry is something that none of us have any control over.
What we can address, however, are violations of ourselves and other people, principles in behavior that go against the very foundations of a shared, honest, civil society.
thank you. he is a gadget, himself. with a bit of panache.
Is Jack’s Coffee Shop restructuring/s? I wonder if their baristas will want a union? Oh wait they have one…
People of Musk’s bank balance, look very closely at how they spend their money…
…which is different from how they spend their government and corporate welfare.
That is my assessment of Musk. Impossible for him to have acquired his wealth without his symbiotic connections to various governments. 🤖 🤖
outhouse: I agree with you about Musk.
In reference to the UK, but also applicable to many countries –
The short answer is that our governments are not representing the people. They are corrupted.
I agree. To get donations and media they must be owned.
Good morning David. Thank you for the update. As for Elon Musk and Neuralink, the impetus is to literally bridge the gap of severed nerves (spinal cord and its branches). Not external “mind control” but control of the mind originating from the individual. Returning the use of arms and legs in paraplegic and quadriplegic patients will be a huge increase of quality of life. What makes some people nervous is that during the research and development phase there are people, outside of the individual, able to manipulate the patient. The end goal is an implanted device that only the user can control. As for Elon, “he is odd”… yes. He is very high functioning and ” on the spectrum”. It is obvious with several of his mannerisms. His mind works a bit different than mine and I’m sure mine works a bit different than yours. (mild TBI for me) You have to look at his totality of thought. His re-tweet could have just been him pointing his finger at the anti-semite and saying “look at this a–hole”.
Lastly, my spin on the pro-hamas chant, “From the river, to the sea, hamas cannot be”. Just my two cents…peace be with you my brother…steps off soapbox.
Thanks. You must be a highly educated person because you use expressions that I don’t know and my vocabulary is good.
“Very high functioning and on the spectrum” ???
”Steps off soapbox”. ???
Anyways , thanks for clarifying the Neurolink. I didn’t know this.
As to his antisemite tweet I don’t think that it was to point out on someone but I don’t have the time to research the whole context.
I doubt that he is antisemite, he seems too smart for it and he surly worked with many Jewish scientists in his life.
Let me help you out here – “on the spectrum” generally refers to the idea that there is a short distance between brilliance / high IQ and autism, and “high functioning” refers to the idea that someone is autistic but able to function at a high level. “Stepping off a soapbox” refers to the old days of speakers climbing up on wooden boxes to be heard in a large crowd.
Soapbox is a derogatory term directed at mocking preachers. This is usually employed by those who have contempt for preachers of righteousness; because they think that they can hide from the conviction by stirring up the crowds to despise the words, and join in the laughter. It is a very effective mechanism for temporarily evading the Spirit of God, and lets people imagine some kind of release from responsibility to obedience and a good conscience. As the saying goes, “It takes one to know one;” having myself gone along with the scorners for some time, and having carefully observed what they’re really like; and not the image they think they put forth about themselves; I think it is a bad policy, to just go along with the crowds to fit in, and say and do things, we don’t really understand how evil they are in God’s eyes.
Hi David, Idioms are what distinguishes the natives from the tourist. 😉
Not external “mind control”?
I do believe, that there are thousands of well meaning people who work in those areas of technology, who really believe that they are doing it for a noble cause; and that there are some true benefits for the few who can afford such things. But I firmly believe that the ones holding the purse strings and calling the shots, have quite another agenda; and the narrative serves them perfectly, while people generally do not want to believe the evil.
RE: “Elon Musk shared a tweet from an antisemite about “jews against white people”
This is entirely a made-up / contrived / fabricated controversy. Elon was responding to a statement about the ADL’s position that all white people are racists that sit at the top of the Oppressor pyramid.
It’s all nonsense. A lot of powerful people hate what Elon is doing and this is just another attempt to smear him, taint his image.
I am glad to hear. It didn’t make sense to me because he is smarter than this.
The ADL said that “all white people are racist and sit on top of the oppressors pyramid”?
That doesn’t sound right either. I know that the ADL’s leader is Liberal and I think he is causing damage to this organization and jews. But I can’t think he said something like this. This is like a BLM style Marxism.
Is there no misunderstanding and out of context here?
By the way I know that there is a conflict between Musk and ADL. I don’t blame him, they are idiots.
For those that want to know more about Musk and the ADL:
https://www.nytimes.com/2023/09/11/opinion/elon-musk-adl.html
I just saw that Musk twitted that “from the river to the sea” implies genocide and will result in suspension.
Thanks David for the great report as usual.
About Elon Musk? I think that he’s into a number of things that are pushing the world faster and faster into the time of the Antichrist, and absolute surveillance and control over EVERYONE’S lives. AI and space travel is just the modern day version of the age old tower of Babel. God hates it, and so do I. Still they are all obsessed, and can’t stop until they have reached heaven and taken the throne of God; which of course is impossible. He is not a Believer in God, and has nothing but disdain for those who do, and have given up their lives to serve God. I don’t trust him, and I don’t think anyone should be listening to him, and his far out imagination and ambitions.
The march in support of hostages seems to be a psy-op and very unpatriotic. There is a time for such protests, but in the middle of a war it seems treasonous. It is almost certainly the case that this protest has outside funding. I hope that most Israelis take a very negative view to such protests.
It was predictable.
David, I believe what Musk is saying about “Jews hating white people” is because in the US, the majority of Jewish Americans vote Democrat, are “progressives” and give to causes like BLM, Media Matters, and other social causes that promote progressive social justice like DEI, the LGBTQ – which all denigrate white people. He should distinguish who he is talking about, though, and not let everyone assume that he means ALL Jewish people worldwide while you are under attack from terrorists.
Thanks. I understand. Also I have a jewish American friend in Miami who is a hard core Trump supporter, Also Jason Miller the amazing speech writer of Trump is jewish. Also Breitbart’s CEO is Jewish, and Mark Levin and many others. So generalities are not good. Even if the better people are only 30% or less they still count.
David,
Stephen Miller is PDJT’s brilliant speechwriter. Great guy too from what I’ve heard of him!
You can clearly tell he understands PDJT very well – speeches written by him sound like PDJT wrote them himself.
Jason Miller is one of his political advisors. Not such a great guy, at least in his personal life. Don’t know, he may have changed his ways. PDJT seems to have kept him on the team. Pretty sure he is not Jewish.
I believe Stephen Miller is who you are thinking of, David.
You are so right with that. That is racism! So while he “may have” had other intentions, and it just came out wrong; he clearly spoke before thinking, (we hope). Frankly, I couldn’t care less what Elon Musk or any celebrity or great one in the world thinks and says.
Elon Musk has high functioning autism (it used to be called Asperger’s syndrome), my son has it too.
“They” think and process information very differently from most others, they are blunt to the point of appearing rude. Ultra pragmatic and see “pointless” words and actions as literally pointless and will happily insult you for saying or doing pointless things!
They act by instinct/spontaneously without thinking things through.
They are also with exceedingly high IQ many are very successful.
I know Elon via a third party. He is a very well meaning person, a pacifist and he sees his roll as wanting to help save humanity. He sees us in self destruct mode, caused by bad actors –
Neuralink will be something very positive, it’s not about “mind control” or any malevolent thinking- though he is aware it could be abused.
He bought Twitter literally on a whim, someone said in comments “why don’t you buy Twitter instead?” – then he did. (He was thinking of setting up his own social media – due to absence of free speech elsewhere). He had absolutely no idea about the level of government control in social media and is having a really hard time with Twitter. It’s draining him mentally and financially. However he is a very determined person.
I am glad to hear that he is good. I am hoping you’re absolutely right.
Agreed Graham. You said just what I said, but yours was so much more concise as I’m such a wordy girl.
I don’t believe Elon is evil at all. He is absolutely different. Absolutely, but fascinating.
Having a “slight Aspergers” at home makes me witness to their astounding abilities.. my 16 year old flying a Cessna like it was a part of her.
They have weaknesses for sure (don’t we all) but they think on a different set of wavelengths than we do.
David, thank you for the update! My personal opinion is that Musk is all about Musk. And as far as his claims on Neuralink go, I don’t trust him at all. Reminds me of an event in Genesis 3.
Praying for Israel and IDF daily. And for you. Shalom!
Thanks.
It’s because there actually are no women’s groups . There are leftist/Islamic controlled groups that put on whatever veneer they choose. This is to manufacture a consensuses. Same as queers for Palestine. They aren’t gay, and don’t care about gay issues, just masked actors /paid protesters used to manufacture a consensuses that every group even gays are against Israel or whoever their target is. Even gays who would be executed in a Muslim country where being gay is against the law and punished by the death penalty.
Another perspective on Musk. When he bought twitter he had no idea what he was buying. He did not know how much control he lacks and how much control our government has over twitter. Twitter is also reliant on government money and equipment to stay afloat financially. Twitter itself is not a self supporting. Research the articles on ‘Jack’s Magic Coffe Shop” Sundance has written on here.
Thank you.
Yesterday I saw a video with a Ted Cruz interview saying that HAMAS terrorist had put a baby in an oven and burned it alive. It takes a long time to kill someone by baking them in an oven. Cruz is a Constitutional Lawyer and very believable. Last week I saw a video that some sadist had put on line of a little kitten that had been painted in green paint. I cannot get the sound of its cries while lying there unable to get up out of my ears. I hope I don’t see the video that Cruz saw of the HAMAS devils burning the baby and hear its cries.
As for the British (take it from someone who was married to one of them) they value money. All nations value something; for example, Americans value freedom; Germans value a good work ethic and well made tools; the French value art, fancy clothes, and a good time; Ukraine values fraud and backdoor deal; and Russians value their culture, that is, ballet and great architecture; Mormons value family and friends. You can take it from here…
Thanks. There is no video of the baby in oven. But it’s true the first responders find him. There are other stories even worse so I am not going to scar you. It’s enough that I know.
As to nations that value things I think this is very smart. I didn’t know that British value money. All the others I see. I did live a year in the UK and some in the US.
Makes me wonder what Israelis value. I know they value the IDF.
Israelis’ value Deuteronomy (the book of the law) and the Ten Commandments. All Jewish males are required to memorize the book of Deuteronomy if what I have been told is true. And yes, I’m sure they value the IDF. Remember David and Jonathan fighting back to back and killed and/or put to flight something like a whole regiment. I cannot remember the reference but I sure remember that fight. Got to love a good war story like that.
Yep the British value money above everything else. Have you ever looked closely at their womenfolk? These women seem to be the most unhappy women in the world. I recall sitting at the bedroom window just crying. My good British husband would bring me a cup of tea and say, “Cheer up.” Have you ever been told to cheer up when you are depressed?
Well, he was an infidel so what do you expect.
Oh, wow. I should clarify why I was so depressed. As a young Southern Belle I had been moved to a dirty city up **North (a place I had never been to before) so my husband could make boo-coo* bucks as an electrical engineer.
* “Bookoo” is an anglicized spelling and pronunciation of the French adverb of quantity. beaucoup (a lot)
** Philadelphia was like a foreign country to me. I had never seen anything like it. I hope to never see it again. 🙂
Hi David,
I read your postings and appreciate your faithfulness to bring us news.
You’ve asked our opinions on occupied England and Elon Musk.
What I believe about Musk in the nine hours or so of interviews I’ve listened to on Joe Rogan… is that he took over Twitter due to a deep concern over First Amendment freedom of speech. It certainly was not a lucrative acquisition and, maybe as time progresses, a bit of a “loss leader” for him.
I, also, don’t believe he knew going in that it was a psyop program from the US Government. I think he got in too deep and had no choice but to continue the acquisition… maybe even promised a bit of a quid pro quo… in regard to his Tesla car interests, Neuralink, and SpaceX.
Notice how Twitter has been renamed “X”… a move towards all inclusive branding.
He claims Neuralink was created to develop research into traumatic brain injuries, which sounds and seems quite admirable, and he has claimed that under no circumstances would it be mandatory to install a Neuralink. However, he is the first to admit that anything developed for good… can easily be manipulated and weaponized for bad.
He was.. and is… aggressively pursuing oversight over Artificial Intelligence research and development. Testifying and requesting such from the US Government.
He’s not sure how that oversight happens, who would be the overseers X or its scope… but he definitely wants someone to oversee this to keep it safe.
Unfortunately, few people operate at his intellectual level to understand it, thus he is compelled at his own involvement… plus, it is frankly in his wheel house.
He has to know a good deal about biology in keeping humans alive and thriving in his development of manned space rockets and his discussions pertaining to climate change, which he sounds to debunk a bit, are woven into his work in keeping inhabited aircraft in outer space pressured environments.
He then moves further with Neuralink, into an implantable uplink to the World Wide Web to process information even faster and to be able to download mass amounts of information incredibly quickly… therefore creating somewhat mega minds. He didn’t go into it from what I heard so far… but I can see it easily being used as a way of transferring the brilliant mind of a dying person into a thriving younger individual in an effort at a sort of immortality.
Elon Musk is a brilliant, brilliant mind and certainly seems to be on the spectrum, Aspergers maybe, which is very common of the Steve Jobs types of the world.
I believe he does have a conscience though if for no other reason than the love of his children and frankly love of humanity. I hear his love for humanity in his discussions against this global culling of the herds that seems so prevalent now.
He is fascinating and I highly encourage everyone to just listen to his lengthy interviews with an open mind. Not to necessarily accept all of his principles, but to listen to his perspective. Few people fly that high intellectually.
I’m not against electric cars. I’m against everyone forced to purchase an electric car. I’m against coercion. I want people to buy whatever car you want.. or none at all if that’s what you want. Freedom.
When it comes to the matter at hand of global liberalism and the nihilistic nature of humanity right now… Michael Savage in his radio broadcast used to say “liberalism is a mental disorder” and he called it the “enemy within”. He was right on the money with that assessment.
To me, all of this lockstep with critical race theory, social emotional learning, go along to get along… is absolutely mind control and mental illness.
Critical thinking prescribes to use risk assessment and statistics to develop proper courses of action for desirable results… hopefully mixed in with a little morality and good ethics.
These liberals and liberal sympathizers and Nicolaitans who in Revelation negotiated with humanity’s evil against God’s Word… are reaping what they’ve sewn with the “go along to get along”. These satanists want to kill us. Full stop. Critical thinkers find ways to prevent oneself from being killed and it is not short-term acquiescence.
This is war and anyone who thinks we are not in the greatest war of our lives and in human history is simply under mind control. This will make the holocaust look small in comparison and it grieves me deeply to say that.
If you aren’t absolutely horrified to the point of physical illness about a child cooked in an oven while father is murdered and mother is helplessly raped.. or can sit and watch videos of people brokering in baby parts without any pull towards your morality…I question your ability at any level of sensible rationality and feel you are completely under mind control.
As long as a person has breathe in their body, there is hope for them, but we have to interrupt and put a complete stop to the mind control to bring them back from the brink of hell.
Additionally, I am highly suspect of anything that looks too similar to a Tower of Babel trying to replace God.
In Musk’s most recent interview, he gave the impression of deep regret buying Twitter.
I don’t think Musk cares about money… because Twitter was not a money maker. I think what he works with is naturally higher ticket items. With their successful research in those areas, the money comes naturally.
He is cutting edge. And with cutting edge developments comes great wealth.
Shalom, my friend and our brother in these branches…
You might find this uplifting. Heaven knows we need more news like this…
UEFA REFUSED to hold a minute of silence before yesterday’s U-21 game between Israel and Poland.
In response, the Polish players decided not to play the first minute the of the game, standing still and honoring the victims of the October 7th massacre.
This was posted by Visegrád 24, a reliable source.
I thought you’d like to know 💕
Thank you. I like good news.
🇮🇱 👍🏻
David, Your reporting and explanations are and concise making your writings easy for me to follow. God will not fail you. God is inside of us and we cannot be defeated. Look to God for your answers. Our current government leaders are less than truthful. Trust God alone. God bless Israel and God bless the U.S.A.
Thank you.
The Golani Brigade at the iconic tanning base of Hamas from which the 10/7 terrorists came from.
TYPO: Not “Tanning base”. “Training base”. LOL
That’s okay…. I was wondering “who has time to go to the tanning salon?”…..LOL
I should admit something . . . I don’t keep very good records of who I audition and who’s performances I actually post. I think I previewed Pavel’s video but I can’t remember whether I actually posted his concert. I recalled, as now, that he obviously measured up quite well as a Siccas concert performer—he’s a really good player.
I mention this now because I want to share another curator truth . . . While I’ll sometimes repeat an exceptionally good performance, I’ve learned that great performances are better received if there’s a little space between one posting and another. Don’t want to ‘wear out’ great playing with over-presentation.
So. I hope I haven’t over-presented Pavel. He’s a really good player who’s obviously worked hard on crafting what may be his first big ‘net concert. Enjoy, Treeper friends 🙂
Good morning, Garrison💕 Too much of a good thing? I don’t think so…
Good morning Bet! You were up early or you stayed up very late. Hope that you caught up on some sleep and your coffee is strong. 😁❤️😘
Mornin’ G😘 Went to bed at the usual time and woke up wide awake at 3, only to find Chris had done the same a couple of hours earlier. As I was coming out of the bedroom he was coming back in. Promptly turned around with me. Made a cup of tea and put on our beautiful Christmas nonChristmassy music on Sirius XM. Having a devil of a time sleeping lately in spite of melatonin and herbal tea. If you looked inside our heads you’d find the off switch missing in both 😂…
So I’m not functioning on all cylinders this morning…such is life…
Onward!!
☕ ☕ ☕ ☕ ☕ ☕ ☕ ☕ ☕ ☕ ☕ ☕ ☕ ☕ !!!
Sorry that you’re not sleeping well. I completely understand – I was like this for the first 35-40 years of my life. It’s horrible.
But somehow I sleep a bit better now. I still have some bad days, but mostly I am ok.
I think I have just accepted that life will happen, no matter what I try to do. It makes me feel more settled.
I hope you can also find a solution to whatever has been keeping you up ♥️
Good afternoon GrandpaM! I hope you’re having a good day today 🙂
Good morning Rach, another busy but good day. Just noe getting back to the computer.
Afternoon, Bet. Got my finger splints off on Thursday. Now I’m slowly trying to regain my typing speed.
Thanks, Garrison… very nice
Howdy Garrison!
Afternoon, Gramps. 🙂
I have grumbled at times when one artist is played again and again and again. But never grumbled at you. You post so many different artists that some repetition is natural and if it is far apart even appreciated.
Just for comparison, I would love to hear Karen Carpenter sing anything but “Bless the Beasts and the Children.” Not just repeating an artist, but repeating one song from that artist, again and again and again.
And we can always scroll past if we get upset. So don’t worry.
🙂
HAPPY CATURDAY EVERYONE!
Three friends and their inner cats💕
And because it is now a sleepless three in the morning, me later…
Biscuit has a plan…she really wants a turtle….(sorry about any ads)….
I know exactly where he can find one, Aggiegirl! Plus an assortment of other friends to go with😊💕
Friends!
They come in all shapes and sizes.
Oh yes they certainly do, aDoozy!! 😍👍🏻
I love ducks. I used to drive around to certain lakes during migration to see what species would be in the lakes and ponds. I did some Christmas Bird counts for the Audubon Society as well. Nothing better than driving through the country and stopping at ponds/lakes and scanning for waterfowl/birds with some coffee & muffins! I miss those fun days
I think you were sighing when you wrote that, Colkitto. I’m pretty sure I heard you…
And it’s funny…I never run across photographs of all breeds of ducks that I don’t think of you and your love for them. I did with this one, so I am particularly glad you are here today. We can thank k Aggiegirl for opening Tue door for this sweet picture. THANKS, Girl!!!😁💕
Lifelong cat person loves all of the above! 🐾💕
Morning, Lorrie. We’ve had so many. None we went looking for. I think it’s true…a cat should find you, it is said. Loved being in service to them all 💕💔
Betsy. We are up at our farm in the north. My son and I came last night because the girls are off to women’s retreat for church. Takes forever to get the wood stove to heat things up. My son jumped into my bed with the heating blanket.
The dog snuggled up between us and kept us both warm. 😂
DD
Hahaha!!!! Or the other way around, Dan 😂
I imagine you both made pretty good body warmers for him. Hope the three of you have a wonderful time. Bless you all, my friend💕
Morning, nim😊 Smart kitties!! 😂
🤗 🤗 🤗
mornin’ Betsy .. enjoying you photos
My supply is running low…must go hunting once more. Something always turns up😎👍🏻😉
Way off topic… but I thought you might enjoy this video of Nimrod Dam
Who woulda thunk it! There’s a nimrod dam!
nimrodman: No, it’s the sheep that are herding the cats. Pure genius.
From tonight’s American Thinker site . . .
As the damning evidence grows for impeachment of Biden, a devastating attack on the U.S. could be the very thing that would keep the insanely power-hungry Democrats in charge. I wouldn’t put it past them to allow such a horror in their own country. Remember, those aligned against America are totally fine with the deaths caused by creating and spreading genetically-engineered diseases, and forcing ordinary Americans (and our military personnel) to take a “vaccine” that kills. They have disregarded our Constitution and laws by weaponizing our judicial system against peaceful protesters on January 6th and Trump’s efforts to run for election in 2024.
That’s what my mum’s been saying. She reckons that the Islamists will be used by the Dems to cover their cheating to beat Trump in 2024.
I can see the physical attack scenario. Not so the disease. Too hard to control with the optics looking bad for the ruler.
I’m looking for it. And have been for a long time, Garrison. I have paid particular attention to the ruling by the Supreme Court that forgiveness of student loans is unconstitutional. So what, says a clearly lawless administration. We will do it anyway…and they have carried on regardless. A clear test to see how much of an uproar there would be for ignoring the third branch in our now moribund system of checks and balances. There was none.
The latest flashing red light is their well publicized attempt to gain control of the internet either by executive order or by regulation. Once that happens, all bets are off. As night follows day, I am absolutely expecting a government orchestrated horror and martial law to follow. Page 267 of the psychopath’s playbook…
Notorious Muslim ‘spokesjihadi’ warns America: ‘We will not stop (attacking you) until Islam (sharia) enters every home’
In October, in New York City, a radical Muslim YouTuber, Sohail (WAYOFLIFESQ), with almost 1.5 million followers, threatened America, stating that Islam will not stop until it seizes control:
“We’re done hiding. We’re done. We’re done being tortured and hurt and judged. This is the correct religion. This is the “religion” that all of humanity needs to be a part of, Islam, and we will not stop until it enters every home.So I want you to repeat after me; I want to hear it in every single district. It should tremble. Brooklyn should hear it. The Bronx and Queens should hear it. Say it as if the Ummah depends on this, my brothers or sisters,There is no God worthy of worship except Allah, The God of Jesus, the God of Moses, the God of Abraham, and the God of the last and final prophet Mohammed, Allah.”
Qur’an verse 9:33 tells Muslims that Allah has instructed them to make Islam “superior over all religions.” This chapter was one of the final “revelations” from Allah, and it set in motion the tenacious military expansion, in which Muhammad’s companions managed to conquer two-thirds of the Christian world in the next 100 years. Islam is intended to dominate all other people and faiths.

Charlotte, if you want an exceptional read and haven’t yet done so, read Mark Steyn’s “After America”. Published in 2006, he warned, he warned, he warned…much as Enoch Powell did in Britain about Muslim immigration in the 60s, and was excoriated for it.
It is an (what I call) unputdownable book about how Islam intends to work from the inside of the United States to bring it into submission to their barbaric cult. He quotes bin Laden who said, “The West may have all the watches, but we’ve got all the time.” And since he wrote this remarkably prescient book, ostensibly about demographics he said, everything in it has played out until, well, here we are seventeen from years later.
Can’t recommend this book too highly, as well his second “America Alone”, and finally ” Lights Out” which is about his fight with the Canadian Court of Human Rights (he won). I have an autographed copy of the last one which I treasure.
I must apologize….Mark’s FIRST in the (I’ll call it) Trilogy exposing why demographics is destiny is AMERICA ALONE.
AFTER AMERICA is his second in the series.
It was very early when I posted the comment, no sleep, and no coffee…not a good combo for thinking or accuracy.
Mea culpa….
I have that book.
Our 2nd Amendment along with 400 + million privately owned firearms, 20+ million AR and AK pattern “weapons of war” might have something to say about about this. This is why the 2nd amendment exists.
Sophocles Papas (1893 – 1986) was a classical guitar composer who also did a lot of important arrangements for guitar. He opened a 2nd floor guitar shop in 1922 at 1216 Connecticut Ave. NW. Downtown D.C. I was there in the early 80s.
It was quite a place. It closed in 2011. More info on the store here:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/mourning-the-closure-of-the-guitar-shop/2011/12/21/gIQAPnbBAP_story.html
I own a Asturias model 30 guitar from this store. I was told that Angel Romero played the guitar when he frequented the shop and was quite fond of it -well, it does sound great even though it was not super expensive. It has a dark close grained cedar top and gorgeous Brazilian Rosewood sides and back.
Sometimes it doesn’t matter what the pedegree, a certain guitar will just sound great and that’s that.
Anyway, here is a song by Leo Kottke about a guitar found in a pawn shop that had an “unbeatable sound”. Enjoy:
The storyline of this song reminded me of Guy Clark’s song, “The Guitar” which has a somewhat similar storyline.
Was just going to say that, benzy. Great minds and all that . . .
If you’re referring to ME… I can’t claim to be either a “great mind” or “all that” ROFL But, thanks for including me anyway

An Aussie senator has read in federal parliament the names of all the hostages held by Hamas. So the names are now permanently noted in our records (Hansard).
This particular senator has also been excellent on other topics, such as covid. I believe he will likely not be re-elected because his own party has screwed him over. They select an order of preference for senate votes and he is lower down the list, and is therefore unlikely to win.
This video shows the beginning and end of his speech, but cuts the names.

I will refrain from the Blues Brothers link….LOl…Cab was awesome!
I went old school this year when I added Cab to the “interesting people” section.
Just kept last years “musical” posting with Cab doing Minnie in the BB movie. The cut aways to the BB in the parking lot as such kinda removes the focus on Cabs musical number, if you are watching the video anyway tho it mutes the music a bit.
That was very interesting. Physics is over my head but it is fascinating. I like the idea of watching videos like this, we can all learn something.
I have a second cousin who has a PhD in physics/mathematics from Oxford University. Sadly the genes involved in that achievement must have come from his father’s side unconnected to me. 🙂
I find some of the physics quite understandable to me, the mathematics parts… not so much.
My brother is a Electrical Engineer, but calls me about him attempting to fix his automobile, now… since he is working on GM’s & Chrysler’s I know them well after 20 or so years of working on them. Most of the things he is attempting to do I have done either dozens, or hundreds of times… and can tell him what to do while visualizing them in my mind.
I can see how the physicists probably have that same ability to visualize how things work.
Had many training classes that I attended over the years I fully understood but ….. most of the class can’t and instructors are working at remedial level to try to get them to understand.
As for other models I might need him to “hold the phone closer so I can see it better” was a line that was used (20+ years ago) before it was even possible to actually do that.
Speaking of phones…. mine rang and I must go amid my rants.
My father was like that. Often people would come to him in his workplace ( which involved electrical engineering,) as he was naturally gifted in being able to suggest practical solutions to problems, or better designs. People with higher education than he had, asked his advice.

I accidentally ran into this guy on YouTube. I have no idea who he is but he is the first Westerner that I see outside of Israel who understands Arab logic.
He must speak Hebrew and lived in Israel at some time because the solution he suggests is unique to Dr Keidar which I don’t think exists in English. Anyways, I do recommend his other videos too.
Gaza has no economy. That means it has no hope or future without patrons. The Arab world says the same thing about Israel.
That said, events show the Palestinians have no friends… no patrons. The Palestinians did the bidding of the Iranians, Chinese, and Russians, but they lost. Their past patrons will not come to their aid.
As Palestinian infrastructure needs to be rebuilt, some patron needs to come out of the woodwork and pay the bills. You won’t see Egyptian nor Saudi money doing this. I expect some pocket change coming from around the world but the recognition that Gaza is a failed state will limit how much is given. Everyone has their own problems/priorities and a Gaza rebuild is not high on anyone’s list. If Iran/China/Russia do not carry the ball, nothing will happen in Gaza. After much economic hardship, the Palestinians will get the message and start to emigrate somewhere.
There will be continued astroturfed protests around the world, but they lack punch. A couple of weeks from now (or a month) the funded protesters will have shown the logistics behind them and the world will be better for it. The protesters patrons will become known and global opinion will deal with them. The EU and UN will dither as they don’t want to fund the Gazan rebuild.
Israel will have clear sailing… militarily. Use that time well.
I think all you need to do at the present time is to watch the weather vane… that rooster up on the barn roof. I’m talking about Erdogan.
I can already see the west flowing billions along with Qatar and Turkey.
With the US Presidential elections coming up, I see Palestinian infrastructure funding as very low down the totem pole for US voters. I don’t think it would be a vote getter.
The EU wants a cheap way to find their way back to the centre of the universe. This ain’t it.
Turkey doesn’t have the economy to do much. Any funds given to the Palestinians will be p*ssed away. Those funds would have more use at home.
Qatar should lead the funding charge. They should take direct control of the administration of Gaza. After a short spell, the Palestinians will blow up Qatari assets.
This is the sickening part
Remember, the UN and politicians love to spend money on any project as long as the politicians get their cut. The money was never theirs, but they are enriched by spending it. I predict the UN organizing the grifters worldwide to line up to the trough.
We will be watching a replay of Iraq’s “Oil for Food” program, only who will fund it?

David: Listening to the pronouncements and plans of the JoeBama mis-administration drives me crazy. It’s like listening to patients at an insane asylum.
That’s a good idea he has about what to do after the Hamas has been defeated.
The queue on that video seemed to be pointing to the US SOS Blinkin, but in reality the speaker is pointing out that the US is trying to push Israel to continue the same failed policies of the past and the failed ‘two-state’ solution. Along with that is the west and the US is missing the fact that Hamas and PLO are one and the same. To bring in Qatar to somehow be a part of a new solution would have the same effect as leaving Hamas alone to rebuild and attack Israel once again. IMO Israel should stay on course to eliminate Hamas.
11/18/2023 – God has put into their hearts to fulfill His will
Isaiah 10:5-7 “O Assyrian, the rod of My anger, and the staff in their hand is My indignation. I will send him against a hypocritical nation, and against the people of My wrath will I give him a charge, to take the spoil, and to take the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets. Howbeit he means not so, neither does his heart think so; but it is in his heart to destroy and cut off nations not a few.”
Revelation 6:1-2 “And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four living creatures saying, Come and see. And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.”
Revelation 17:12-17 “And the ten horns which you saw are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast. These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for He is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with Him are called, and chosen, and faithful. And he says to me, The waters which you saw, where the whore sits, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues. And the ten horns which you saw upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire. For God has put into their hearts to fulfill His will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.”
We read these words, and understand what they mean; but the difficulty comes, when trying to place a name and a face to those persons here described. For example, we have learned, that “the Assyrian” is one of many names for the Antichrist. There is the Biblical record of who it was that founded Nineveh, and for what reason; and of how that which he did and taught so corrupted the minds of men unto this day, that the “natural mind” is now enmity against God, and cannot receive the things of the Spirit.
But how does that have to do with us today? And where is this person coming from? Does he come out of the heathen nations which have all through there history rejected the LORD God of Israel and the faith of Christ? Or does he come out of the Western countries that have had the Bible, and call themselves Christian?
1 John 2:18-19 “Little children, it is the last time: and as you have heard that Antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time. They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.”
So it is a man who comes out of a country, which thinks of itself as Christian, or at least from Christian roots; but which God identifies as the great whore and adulteress; and that wicked one’s design is to come to power over the whole world, by gathering the whole world against the whore to destroy her. The Antichrist will come to his throne by first destroying the whore. And having united the countries unto his craft; he will appoint ten kings to be over the ten regions of the globe. This will have already been underway, and in action, while he is making the first object to attaining that end, destroying the whore.
The Lord said, that at a certain set time, that man of sin would be revealed; and that we shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet; and so, that He pronounced specifically in a the word of command, Let him that reads understand. Why would we need to know of these things? Because the Lord needs us to be His light in the world for these times; and we also need to have the education and training to prepare us for what we will be up against, and not be scandalized.
From what I see about the meaning of these Scriptures; there are certain countries which fit the description of the whore; and some that fit the description of the beast. There is a time and purpose for everything under heaven; and given the enormous amount of attention that God has moved His servants the prophets to write about it throughout the Bible; the rise of the Antichrist, and those things that will be used by God to bring it about; are imperative upon all Christians, to fully search out and discover, and become fully expert in their meaning, and how it relates to the gospel of Christ, and the salvation of their souls who will be under these tribulations. It has everything to do with why we specifically are in the world at this time, as Christ’s minsters and ambassadors to the world.
And it is important that we know and understand the whole history according to the Spirit of God, according to all the Scriptures on the subject; and to “TAKE HEED THEREUNTO, AS TO A LAMP SHINING IN AN OBSCURE PLACE.” We will be tested, and will need to say with firm understanding, what is the reason for our faith. If by chance anyone in these days may ask us the reason for our faith, and what all these things mean; we can only be able to answer, if we actually know all of God’s word on every subject. We have been entrusted with the things of God, the words and ministry of our Lord Jesus Christ: it is our duty to learn what our job is, and to become expert. For we will every one of us be called before Him to give account of what we did with His property.
Nothing less than an unsubstantiated pack of lies and fiction. Now they don’t even bother to show their work. Just declaring it is the science. They just publish dooms day declarations of “climate change” relying on nothing more than an appeal to the authority of the US Government. A government and administration that at no time in my life has been more corrupt and less believable.

Olivia Newton John’s Grandfather was a Nobel-Prize Winning Jewish Physicist
OLIVIA NEWTON JOHN AND JOHN TRAVOLTA STARRED IN “GREASE”
Olivia Newton-John is being mourned across the globe as a charismatic singer and the star of the 1978 hit movie Grease. Starting out in a teen band that she created when she was still a schoolgirl in Melbourne, Newton-John wowed audiences the world over in a career that spanned decades.
Yet the girl next door image that Newton-John cultivated in her long performing career hid the fact that she was a highly idealistic woman who hailed from a distinguished, intellectual family.
Newton-John was the granddaughter of one of the 20th century’s greatest scientists, the German Jewish physicist Max Born who worked with Albert Einstein and won the Nobel Prize (along with Walter Bothe) in 1954. Her family tree included professors and at least one rabbi.
Max Born and Newton-John’s Jewish Heritage
Max Born was born in 1882 in the Polish city of Breslau, into a highly cultured, academic Jewish home. His professor father hired tutors to teach Max privately, and Max soon distinguished himself in math and physics, gaining a Ph.D. at the University of Gottingen in Germany in 1908.
His friends and colleagues read like a list of some of the greatest scientific minds of the modern age. Max Born was good friends with Albert Einstein and is credited with developing modern quantum mechanics along with Erwin Schrodinger and Werner Heisenberg.

Charlotte99: Interesting! I knew that Max Born was a Nobel physicist but the relation to Olivia Newton-John escaped me, somehow!

Although an ISU guy, I did spend 2 yrs. in Dallas/Garland.
This piece, and the flute on which it’s played, had a significant role in the award-winning Star Trek: The Next Generation episode “Inner Light.”
“The rest of us have been gone a thousand years. If you remember what we were, and how we lived, then we’ll have found life again. Now we live in you. Tell them of us, my love.”
Years later, Paramount auctioned off all its Star Trek properties. Recently that flute changed hands for the princely sum of $187,000. When Patrick Stewart was told of this, he laughed and said, “It’s not a real flute. It doesn’t even play!”

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.

What is most interesting is the leak of a phone call by ADL leader Jonathan Greenblatt in a panic over the loss of support for Israel in America, particularly among the younger generations. It is interesting because it highlights an amazing failure to understand the repercussions of actions that should have been obvious.
The ADL is basically the spokesman for Israel in the US. The ADL has supported open borders and unlimited immigration into the US. Some believe the reason for this support is Israel’s fear that nations full of white people will be anti-Jew if they become nationalists like what happened in Germany and therefore Israel should help dilute the percentage of white people in nations such as the US and in Europe. This is retarded because only white people have consistently supported Israel.
So, the ADL has been quite open in its support for unlimited immigration into the US (as have many so-called Christian organizations including those supported by Senator Cruz). These organizations help people travel to and get through the border and then they help the illegal immigrants obtain welfare benefits. The ADL supports, and Jews in particular overwhelmingly vote for, Democrats who support open borders, the Diversity-Equity-Inclusion nonsense and teachers who preach hate of America and white people.
Mr. Greenblatt spends much of his time on X calling President Trump and his supporters Nazis, white supremacists, racists and anti-semites especially those who oppose open borders. Now, apparently, Mr. Greenblatt is schocked, SHOCKED I TELL YOU, that the hispanics, who are traditionally Christian and who at best are indifferent to Israel and at worst hostile to Jews, the muslims who are openly anti-Israel and the young people who have been brainwashed with DEI, are not supporting Israel in its genocide of Palestinians.
Personally, I don’t care about Israel or Palestine or Jews or Muslims. But young people raised on the DEI crap can see that its not equal or fair for Israel to kill 10,0000 Palestinians in response to 1400 Jews being killed by Hamas. Even those raised on Common Core math can tell those numbers are not equivalent. You cannot complain about Jewish women, children and babies being murdered by Hamas and then ignore Palestinian women, children and babies being murdered by Israel and expect to have any credibility or receive any sympathy.
Currently there is only around 30% support for Israel in America and that number is dropping daily. In one more generation, America will likely be openly anti-Israel. And the Jews will have no one to blame but themselves. Honestly, the Jews support for Democrats who clearly hate them and their support of importing millions of people who also hate them just may be the stupidest thing a group of people have done in the history of the world. You reap what you sow and Israel and Mr. Greenblatt are learning that the hard way. I have zero sympathy for a group of people who not only oppose me and my kind but actively work to subvert my race. Good luck Israel, you’re gonna need it. Nah, you know what, I don’t even wish them luck. Screw them and everyone else who hates white people.
Anyone that believes there should be proportionality in WAR is an idiot! You go to war to win. PERIOD! No ifs, ands, or buts. And the fact that Hamas uses civilians as human shields is on THEM and not IDF. War is not moral but it a reality of the human existence and I have seen no reason to believe that will not be the case for generations into the future.
That being said, proportional response has its place, but not when your own existence is in the balance and that is exactly what is at stake for Israel and the Jews.
The ADL has done many a smear of opponents of Globalism over the decades but has been strangely silent about the democrat powerful Council On Islamic American Affairs (CAIR) and its lobby and strong influence on the Democrat side of the Hegelian Dialectic. They also have been suspiciously silent on Democrat Louis Farrakhan
They and the AIPAC lobby have destroyed many political careers over the decades, but again suspiciously not in recent times, as I believe they are following a timeline which PDJT upset with his surmounting their steal attempt in 2016.

Wow.
Good morning all.
The 2nd quote I got on the HVAC for the sunroom and garage came in about $1,500 under the first quote. I did not go out for multiple quotes on the construction because I knew I was getting the best with Mustin’s Builders, and they came in under budget. But the quote for the HVAC from my usual source I thought was high and so had another trusted guy quote it.
The Sunroom is framed and it really gave Sherry the idea of what it will look like and she is thrilled. But the weather is going to hold us up for a time because of rain Thursday night and Fri and forecast for rain on Monday and Tuesday next week. They naturally don’t want to start tearing into the roof until they know they have a few days of good weather.
My cousin came out yesterday and he marked up a print I gave him that he took with him with the details for the electrical, so he now knows what I want where and has a reference for it so there are no misunderstandings or anything that can be forgotten.
Sherry and I have to go out and pick out and buy the ceiling fan we want for the sunroom, the three sconce lights for the front of the garage, a sconce light for the outside steps coming out of the sunroom, and the lights we want for the garage and the security lights outside.
Plenty of lighting and outlets.
Plenty of mud around and so I have to walk the dogs on their leashes instead of just hooking them up to their leads which are long enough to reach a big patch of mud by the sunroom.

This video is very good. It’s something that I didn’t know with all my other sources. Short and to the point. From a few days ago but applicable.
Ty for the video David. Strangely Wahhabism comes from Sunni Petro-dollar Saudi Arabia, not Shia Iran. I believe without any proof that the Mullah’s were installed by the Globalists for their WWIII scenario which according to sources means the destruction of Israel. Its obvious some of Israel’s leadership are traitors just like many in America & many other nations.
I pray that the good people of Israel can overthrow their traitors like America needs to do with our Intelligence agencies, bureaucracies, Congress, Media, CFR, WEF,UN,NATO,UN-Fed etc etc
I pray for peace as quickly as possible so their WWIII plans can be thwarted. PDJT our rightful President could stop this, if he was President and his underlings follow the rule of law, which i suspect is/would going to be a problem because their oaths to another organization takes supersedes their oath to the Constitution and the rule of laws that they are supposed to follow. I believe their is another set of rules/laws they are following
Peace
This young man’s info is very interesting. Thank you for sharing.
Everything mentioned, the lack of ‘bringing down the hammer on Israel’, the ‘insanity’ that happened at Arab League Summit, and the speed with which Israel has executed their destruction of hamas forces, can only be seen as nothing short of a miracle, by the hand of YHWH, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the Set Apart One of Israel.
Shalom and many blessings to you and your family
This is another worrying story but I think it is better to have knowledge than to be unaware. There is a very infectious virus (not recognized) going about that is making dogs sick, and is killing them. I can’t help thinking this might be another man-made virus.

Jesus’ birthplace removes all Christmas decorations in honor of Hamas ‘martyrs’A spokesperson for the city also told the Telegraph, “The reason is the general situation in Palestine; people are not really into any celebration.”
https://www.jpost.com/christianworld/article-773488
The West Bank city of Bethlehem, famous for being the birthplace of Jesus Christ in the New Testament, has declared that they will be removing all decorations celebrating the annual holiday of Christmas.
“Bethlehem Municipality crews announced the dismantling of Christmas decorations installed several years ago in the city’s neighborhoods and removing all festive appearances in honor of the martyrs and in solidarity with our people in Gaza,” the municipality wrote on Facebook.
What a petty and evil thing to do. The Christians have done nothing to you.
Only idiots would have decided to do this. It will gain you nothing, except the disgust of prospective visitors.
It might even improve the place. Less tacky, vulgar, and gaudy. I hope this destroys any tourism they have.
Christians should stay away, and not just till Christmas is over. At the very least never again spend your money there, not a cent.
Buy nothing from that place. Stay away!
Celebrate the birth of the Messiah, the Lord Jesus, the Light of the World, in a place of love and reverence, not a place of hate
and lies. Hate and lies are of satan. Maranatha!
The Assad family of secular Syria have been the long time protectors of Syria’s large & old Christian community, as well as various other racial/religious groups there. They welcomed many Armenian Christians fleeing from the Armenian holocaust.
It pained me and those of us who knew the truth about Syria and about the war plans to remake the Middle East. It pained me greatly when much the same was done to the Serbs, our old friends & allies who were in Holocaust death camps with the Jews & Roma.
Fired up the fireplace insert for the first time this season. Now blowing and there is nothing like the heat from wood.
This man is called The Son of Hamas because he was the son of one of the founders of Hamas. He later served in Israeli Intelligence ( Shabak) for a decade and saved countless people from suicide bombs and murder. The Shabak (Israel spy agency in Gaza and West Bank) called him
“The Green Prince” (green is a Hamas color).
He came to the US and his handler came specially from Israel to persuade the US to not deport him.
He wrote a best selling book “Son of Hamas”.

The EVIL of the JoBama regime.
“At least two other Trump supporters were nearly killed by police that day.
Philip Anderson was knocked out, gassed, and smothered by police that day.
J6 political prisoner Jake Lang dragged him to safety and saved his life. The Biden DOJ wants to drag Philip Anderson into a DC Court after they nearly killed him.
And Victoria White was brutally smashed in the face dozens of times by Police Officer Jason Bagshaw .
She was then beaten with sticks before she was dragged through the dozens of police officers and paraded through the US Capitol in her socks and without her coat.”
It is so shocking.
I’m definitely not cut out for evil. I find it impossible to understand how anyone can act like this.
I have no words.
Even though I have seen such brutality in other situations (such as covid in my country Australia), I still cannot understand it.
I agree rach! All very hard to understand!

If you do ever find it, the key is to spread it very thinly. Otherwise it’s awful.
Much like caviar, you either can eat it or you can’t stand it. A little does go a looong way. lol. See what was started here. lol
I am not sure that I can remember having caviar presented as caviar.
I have had tobiko, which is the orange fish eggs you get with Japanese food. Is this the same? Because I love tobiko.
I think caviar is black
I asked a friend who says that caviar is more salty.
Perhaps you can add it to your shopping list, and let me know how it goes.

Okay, I cannot find in the Congressional Record (CR) for January 6, 2021, any mention of the adoption of “special House rules” under which the Electoral College joint session of Congress was conducted, after 9pmET that day.
Resource A: Here is the link to the CR for that day.
https://www.congress. gov/117/crec/2021/01/06/167/4/CREC-2021-01-06.pdf
On page H85, the joint session is declared in recess at 2:29pm. The House is called back to order at 9:02pm, after the Capitol Building tourist riot concludes.
If a new rule is adopted, it would be found at the top of Page H86, before Mr. Hoyer begins speaking, opposing the Arizona objection. I don’t see anything about emergency rules being in effect. Does this rule adoption appear somewhere else in the CR, and what would that page number be?
Resource B. As a refresher, here is the August 6, 2023, TCH article that wrote Congress was under “emergency rules” that evening:

The links need a space removed before the “.gov/com” to make them work, and to get past the spam software.
