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 †

Radio City Music Hall’s Christmas Spectacular
If you live in New York City one spectacular way of starting the Christmas Holiday Season is to go Rockefeller Center, and see the Radio City Music Hall’s Christmas Spectacular Show featuring the Radio City Rockettes. 2020 has been an unsusal year due to the Covid 19 Virus, and Radio City Music Hall cancelled their Live Performances because of this epidemic. However, the Christmas Spirit continues to move on, so here is your ringside seat to see Christmas Spectacular from previous performances. So sit back and relax and enjoy the Radio City Rockettes as they perform some of their legendary dance numbers to bring you into the Holiday Spirit. I look forward in seeing them preform Live once again in the New Year. Happy Holidays everyone, and enjoy the show.

David, about an hour and a half ago 3 hostages were accidentally killed by IDF in an area of intense fighting.
Fellow Treeper I Hear You Now, posted a link to a Times of Israel article on page 1 of this thread. Am reposting here:

I know. We grieve. Another tragedy. I am trying not to flood you with bad news and would only put it in the usual update that I do. There are many sad stories. Just yesterday we find two bodies of hostages, young men who were kidnapped alive and I have the video of the kidnapping and they were alive. Wonderful young men. I don’t even want to look into causes of death because it can be even worse. The three who died were released or escaped in Sajaiha the area that we just had a massive disaster a few days before with an ambush. The soldiers are running into unarmed suicide bombers and unarmed people who are used to attract the soldiers into traps, just shortly after the incident there was a real confrontation with terrorists in the same are. The whole thing is under investigation. Soldiers who lost their best friends could have a light finger on the trigger and if there is a wring doing they will have to face justice inside the army. But living with the results of killing their own is bad enough punishment. There is a lot of chaos over there and unusually high number of friendly fire. Its one of the worst wars in Israel’s history. I just pray to see the majority of it over fast. With all the bad news we need to look at the overall picture and I hope to hear in a few days to a week that Sajaiah and Kahn Yunis are taken. Then there will still be a matter of tunnels and terrorists coming out of tunnels but we will have control over the grounds above while handling the tunnels will continue.
Heh, look what I found!!!

“Don’t you be listening to those right wing conspiracy theorists; this is just normal everyday stuff right here, nothing to worry about.”
“This isn’t the first time IEDs have been found at the border either.”
“I don’t care what anybody says, there is reason to be concerned here. If this gap in the border didn’t exist, we wouldn’t have cartel activity there — that’s a fact. Build the wall and, assuming its built well, this stuff essentially goes away.”

I thought he had bought Maui? but it’s on Kauai. It has a tacky adolescent name. All for one self-important little man.
https://dailycaller.com/2023/12/15/mark-zuckerberg-100-million-estate-compound-hawaii-bunker/
The compound, located on Kauai, will apparently be called ‘Koolau Ranch’, and is already partially constructed, Wired reported. It looks like it’ll be one of the most expensive properties constructed in modern history. Along with a 5,000-square-foot underground shelter with an alleged escape hatch (via ladder), the property will host at least 30 bedrooms, 30 bathrooms, and a slew of guest homes and treehouses joined together by wooden bridges.
Waiting for the big one.

Doesn’t every democrat election worker falsely declare an emergency, dismiss every Republican election worker and proceed to pull ‘uncounted’ ballots located under tables and then run them thru machines. Of course this is perfectly normal in the bizarro world.
EVENING REFLECTIONS
I’ve read here for years and occasionally commented. Attached is a TINY sample of the illegal abuse we’ve endured by Fort Mill Schools in South Carolina.
I NEED help and feel like I’m ‘screaming’into the abyss and no one cares.
They are hurting our children, very literally.
Share with anyone.
I can prove every word.
I only want the names of my children redacted if possible. Though even that may be too much to ask at this point.
This has been ongoing since AUGUST and I have 30-50 pages of emails.
We have TRIED to find a lawyer in South Carolina who knows Education Law to help for weeks.
Please please please help us if you can. Even if it’s just to ‘share’ the link to some of the files:
https://x.com/Muskrat_luve/status/1735790615005171895?t=zsGVkYN_SW8wndIMfiQWKQ&s=09
I was so private. I cannot be now. I want to be, though.
And honestly, all of these ‘attacks’ started in July when I prayed to the Holy Spirit to baptize me/help me from the Post Partum Depression.
I do feel like it is related, but I have seen my PCP of 10 years twice, 10/16 and 12/05 and my cardiologist on 10/16 as well.
Their notes can corroborate, I am quite ‘sane’ though more desperate every day.
Happy Holidays, regardless.

Maybe, JWoo can help – she is great at deciphering the problem and detailing her suggestions !!! ❤️
On it, darling duchess01. It was just a miracle that I happened upon the thread and saw your request. (And we both know we don’t believe in chance and coincidences. Divine appointments and Spiritual promptings.) I pray I can help. I feel Lindsey’s pain, frustrations, and stressors. All too well.
Got the link to work, Lin – BUT GOD KNOWS – JWOO is the EXPERT !!! ❤️❤️❤️
No expert… just trench knowledge which invaluable in battles!
Experience is the best teacher, JW !!! ❤️
Hello Yummy Pancakes,
I am the mother of a 17-year-old high ADHD, slight Asperger’s, high functioning daughter. I was able to access and read some of your google documentation and, please forgive me, I am going to try to be very concise in my understanding of the issues at hand.
I know there are MANY issues at hand with your being the sole breadwinner, a teacher, and your husband’s long-term disability due to long-Covid. (I sympathize with you, and understand the challenges implicitly. Congratulations on your pregnancy. I am sorry you are experiencing it under duress and realize too your fragile state health wise.)
So, let’s get to the task at hand.
I would like to only focus on your six-year-old daughter. Each of your issues is VERY important, but I am only addressing what appears to be the most urgent of your needs.
I have questions:
1) Is your daughter non-verbal?
2) It sounds as though the school is raising the alarm per your documents due to a head-butting incident where she head-butted you into your belly. How did they hear about this? Did she tell them, or did you? Do they have witness to any other …what could be perceived as “violent acts” from her, such as trying to assault teachers or classmates? You allude to them claiming that your daughter climbed into her brother’s crib to attempt to assault him as well? How did they hear about that if it happened at home, or didn’t happen, as you mentioned?
3) Food intolerances due to textures on the palate are very common to children who are on the spectrum and some can experience “failure to thrive” because they refuse to eat due to their heightened sense of stimuli and aversion. Additionally, many are vitamin and mineral deficient due to their atypical eating habits. One cannot eat just Goldfish crackers as their sole source of nutrition without developing some physiological issues especially in their developing and growing body systems.
4) Where are you with the CPS involvement? Have they done a home assessment?
5) Does she have an IEP, or are you trying to get one? Have you, your pediatrician, and the teachers completed the Vanderbilt assessments (a standard protocol in identifying children with learning differences and the first action that usually gets the ball rolling to lead to a formal testing, assessment, and diagnosis?) What specifically are you attempting to get the school to do for your daughter?
Right now – emotions are realistically very high and I want to help you as much as I can to navigate through these waters while helping you to be laser focused on how to help your daughter.
PLEASE UNDERSTAND – I am not claiming your child is assaulting anyone. Young children on the spectrum often “act out” in what is construed as anger, because they cannot verbalize or understand how to communicate their condition to their caregivers. They have a totally different “normal” than we do and they do not understand how they are “supposed to behave” and their minds are not mature enough to define what they are going through and thus they “act out”.
You mention sound sensitivity – very, very common for spectrum kids. Mine had aversions to vacuums, blenders, etc. Loud, high-pitched noises. When she would get anxious… she would exhibit tinnitus in her ears until I realized it was completely psychosomatic and when the ringing in her ears would occur, she had an underlying anxiety that she didn’t even realize was really bothering her. It took a low, calm voice, cool tone… and a discussion with her (as she got older) to get to the root of what was bothering her and as we began to dissect it together, she leveled out on her own and the tinnitus went away… and now has been gone for years… as she now has the tools to self-soothe and rationalize… the grace and mercy that comes with “age” and “maturity” for our spectrum kids. They can get a handle on things… when done the right way… and accurately diagnosed.
Now, I am going to get very blunt. Please, friend, HEAR ME. I need you to immediately stop fighting and threatening the school. You are fighting all around and your arms are so busy swinging to punch that you are attacking everything! I get it! I PROMISE YOU… I GET IT! But the more you flail about without a concerted, FOCUSED, singular direction – the more you will fight the world and never fight one solitary battle effectively.
Your job is to win the WAR… not fight every battle… and your children need you to be strong, composed, poised, and laser focused. So, let’s get there, okay?
Here is my advice, as a single mom who was poor as dirt… and who took each and every one of these steps to fight and advocate for my daughter.
1) You need a formal diagnosis. Until you know what you are working with, you don’t know how to treat it, teach to it, talk to it, or to reason with it. Where I am in Indiana, my daughter went to Children’s Resource Group. This is a third-party independent behavioral testing group that will run through a series of tests with your daughter to test her responses. This is not a pass or fail… this is to figure out where they are developmentally… and to get you a diagnosis. Now listen good to this… you don’t need their follow up treatment, chargeable hours upon hours of psychoanalyzing and counseling… you just need that 15 to 20 page DIAGNOSIS. Once you have your hands on that… then you’re cooking with Crisco and you can start building a support system for your daughter. ALSO, THIS THIRD PARTY ASSESSMENT WILL BE VERY IMPORTANT WHEN FIELDING CPS QUESTIONS – BE CORDIAL WITH THEM AND AS POLISHED, PROFESSIONAL, AND SOUND-MINDED AS POSSIBLE. If they see you going through these venues to help your daughter, they should view the scenario favorably and supportively assuming there are no indications of any abuse. I know the world is messed up. I know…. but we have to act on the rationale thought that everyone wants to see your daughter succeed and thrive. Let’s pray to God and hold onto that hope, okay?
2) Once diagnosed, you need to consult at Nutritionist who deals with spectrum children. They will help you with the diet that your child needs to thrive, nourish her body systems and brain functions, and overcome the sensitive palate issues.
3) Once diagnosed, get a GeneSight genetic study. https://genesight.com/ They will take a q-tip and collect a cheek swab of your daughter and they will analyze her DNA, her natural production of hormones from her brain, and her metabolism (liver, kidneys, etc.) and they will give you a MOST VALUABLE 12 to 15 page report that will show you and her treating doctors the medications that are 1) safe to use; 2) proceed with caution; and 3) to avoid. This prevents the unnecessary guinea pig scenario where they put her on a med, she goes nuts, they remove it and try another. When my daughter was first placed on Focalin… her words “Mommy, you found the right medicine for my brain.” Do not allow anyone to prescribe her psychotropic medications without this test being done. It was an expensive test, but the organization will help people with financial needs to afford it. And for all those worried about DNA tests – I GET IT – but our GOAL HERE is to help you level out your daughter, so she can mature safely and wholey, until she reaches an age to where she can cope and hopefully level herself and learn to advocate for herself. So negative opinions on this – don’t matter. My daughter ultimately was able to GIVE UP her controlled substance and now at 17 years old… only takes L-Theanine and Caffeine and she is doing terrific.
4) Dump the dang television, cell phone, ipad, whatever babysitter. These kids do not need further stimulation. They need peace, bedtime stories, Mom and Dad to love them, and a healthy diet. Play easy listening, instrumental, Christian songs and help them build their self-esteem without giving them an environment of the Hunger Games. (They’ll be faced with that soon enough.)
Lindsey, I know you are desperate. Once you have that diagnosis from a third-party independent organization, depending on its results, you can find Pediatricians to treat her and to administer her necessary medication to help her… without the involvement of Psychiatrists / Psychologists who are all about chargeable hours and thus will create further issues to keep an open tab with you. However, I cannot in good faith, rule those folks out – because God love ya – your daughter may need them as part of buildiing her support system.
Then, when you have that diagnosis – you simply hand a copy over to the school and develop and intelligent IEP for your girl. Even if the third party tester costs you – that, coupled with the GeneSight results, is going to carry your girl through her lifetime and it will equip you to be a better parent and run a peaceful household, so that your girl and your other kids and live and thrive together.
It is my prayer for you that my advice is helpful and useful. Print it out and put it into action. Stop fighting the school for answers – you will have to find the answers on your own – and then you direct them through a partnership on how to help your girl.
All my best to you. And above all things, God Is Sovereign, He made her perfectly (read Psalm 139), and this too shall pass and IT IS ALL GOING TO BE OKAY. Love you, Sis.
Further on #4 – they need structure, structure, structure and SLEEP, SLEEP, SLEEP. Your daughter needs at least 10 to 12 hours of sleep a night. She will need less as she grows older, but if these spectrum kids are sleep deprived – all hell will break loose.
Now that my daughter is 17 years old, years of structure and value placed on a good night’s rest – she will actually put herself to bed favoring a good night’s sleep over playing on her phone all night. She has a very mature / adult disposition in knowing how to care for her physical well-being and her bodies nourishment.
Junk food out the window – nourishing proteins, high Omega-3’s, veggies and try to cut sugar and refined flour out as much as possible. Now, I’m not a ogre – no one’s going to die if she has an occasional Twinkie – but these kids need the very best chance at developing their growing systems – so you do your best to provide that to them. You want to make sure that 95% of what they are eating is good for them and keep them hydrated with water, water, water. Super important.
We shopped at ALDI’s which was very reasonably priced and I cook, so we had really nice gourmet-style meals on a pauper’s budget. It can be done. I promise – I did it.
GOD BLESS YOU REAL GOOD, JWOO !!!! HUGS !!! ❤️❤️❤️
And also with you, my friend!
Dunno if this should be posted elsewhere or not – but it is GOOD !!!

Does anyone have an Email address for Tucker Carlson that works? Most of what I find is related to Fox News, the few others I’ve found no longer work.
Thanks
DUNNO IF THIS HELPS OR NOT, PATRIOT – BUT MIGHT BE WORTH A TRY – PLEASE LET US KNOW
https://tuckercarlson.com/contact/
Thank you. I had tried those before I posted and none of the emails listed on that site work. I tried again just now to be sure and they still don’t work. Still looking. If you find one that works, please do give me a buzz.
Thanks
Lovely Picture.
I need to stop doing this
