Grandma, I’ve seen where you’ve posted this video daily for a while, but much to my shame, I’ve been reading through comments so fast, I’ve passed on watching it…until this morning. I have too many thoughts and experiences regarding “the times in which we live” to post here but maybe someday we can all share what we’ve seen, known and felt throughout the decades of watching, praying and trying to follow the path we’ve each been given.
This video is a reminder that all things work to the Glory of God. His Plan is always perfect and is always perfectly timed. Nothing happens without His knowledge and nothing, nor anyone, can escape being a part of His Plan. Even those who serve the father of lies cannot escape their role in exposing the wickedness that ultimately awakens others, and hopefully awakens them, as well, to see and hear the Truth, so they may come to God, through Jesus, to Serve, Glorify and Praise Him.
Thank you, Grandma, for being persistent in posting this video. Your faithfulness brings Glory to God and deeply touched my heart this morning. The Son is shining brightly through the open window.
Spot on!! I couldn’t have said it better. Glad you got a chance to view the video
We’ve been seeing much happenings going on that we all have a hard time trying to keep track, or to remember things.
Then..we’re aware that we get new people visiting here, hence the repetitions. AdRem even reminded me of it a long while back. I also repeat to help us all to stay focus on what is in front of us and at hand as needed.
And…..I saw the Power of Prayer in the Treehouse, a winning solution for President Trump and our country, too.
To God Be the Glory…for the Things He hath done…. for all you wonderful Treeper Prayer Warriors!

***Today’s Fisher Industries / Border Wall posts***
— Fisher’s Federal and private projects, their methods of construction, and overall wall progress in general… including border wall content from other wall contractors.
— (Previous posts: https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2020/09/21/september-21st-2020-presidential-politics-trump-administration-day-1341/comment-page-1/#comment-8800806)
[The praises (much of which are older news) have been provided for those who wish to give thanks for them before praying for the wall prayer requests. I may add to, trim back, or simplify from time to time as projects/events progress or come to completion. If there is any new wall news I’ll list them in the update below. Otherwise, feel free to page down or scroll past.]

***Praises***
✅ (9/14/20)… Border Wall System Update: 321 miles completed.
(Update tends to lag by a few days.)
• This years goal: 450 miles.
• Total goal for full operational control of southern border: ~1,100 miles… some of which will be secondary barrier.
– – – – –
✅ ? (Project 1: May/June 2019)… Fisher Industries was able to build a half mile wall up the side of a mountain in 11 days (with zero safety incidents), cutting off 19 major drug cartel trails, and closing off one of the worst areas along the border… (Sunland Park, NM)
✅ ? (11/20/19)… DHS Secretary Chad Wolf & CBP Chief gave a huge endorsement to the Fisher industries wall project while visiting Project 1. CBP Chief called it a “Game Changer”. It’s the only time CBP or DHS have ever endorsed a wall builder.
✅ ? (12/2/19)… Fisher Sand & Gravel was awarded a $400M border wall contract to build 31 miles of wall in the Cabeza Prieta National Wildlife Refuge in Yuma County, Arizona.
✅ ? (Reported on 12/18/19)… Senator Kevin Cramer was able to complete his in-depth review of the USACE’s procurement process and send a letter with his findings and recommendations to President Trump on 12/6/19.
✅ ? (Feb 17)… Fisher Industries was able to build 3.5 miles of wall along the Rio Grande River in Mission, Texas. Project 2’s “water wall” design is the first border wall that’s ever been built inside the floodplain.
✅ ? (5/6/20)… Fisher Sand & Gravel was awarded a $1.28B border wall contract to build 42 miles of wall in southern Arizona, most of which will run from Nogales to the eastern boundary of the Tohono O’odham Nation. It’s the largest border wall contract that’s ever been awarded.
• (Complex terrain, which includes rugged mountains and water crossings)
✅ (7/6/20)… Fisher has partnered with Holcombe Mixers “to fast-track border wall construction.”
✅ ? (8/3/20)… Fisher Industries was awarded a $289.5M contract to build ~17 miles of contiguous new border wall in Laredo Sector located in Webb County, Texas.
✅ … With the above contract, Fisher probably has at least 112 miles of border wall contract(s), 90 miles of which have been reported on.
? Prayer for the work crews. ?
Heavenly Father, we pray in Jesus’ name (& according to Your will):
— for safety, health, and good weather for the work crews as they continue working on Fisher’s Federal contracts, and any other projects they may be working on; that Fisher would be able to continue uninterrupted until completion.
— for the safety of other wall contractors and those involved in building the wall.
— that work would go smoothly with continual, innovative improvements in method/process/efficiency and quality of construction; and with transitioning as they scale up capacity(manpower, equipment, etc.) to be able to build 1+(to 2?) miles of wall per day.
• (Tommy Fisher has previously stated that, given a large enough project(s), they would be able to build 1 mile of wall per day within 3 months. As early photos taken on March 24 reveal, this process has been going on for at least 5 months. My guess is that Fisher has already scaled up to 1 mile per day, assuming they had enough projects to justify the increase in equipment/manpower required for that output. I’m still waiting to for news to confirm this though.)
— that the DoD IG’s office audit of the $400 million border wall contract which the USACE awarded Fisher Sand & Gravel would show everything is fair and above board; that the swamp in DoD and USACE wouldn’t be able to corrupt the process; & that Fisher would be authorized to proceed with the project as planned. (Backstory/timeline)
✅ (4/15/19)… Fisher Industries has been awarded a 7.6M contract modification to build 800 linear feet of 30-foot bollard barrier while the original 400M contract is still under review by the DoD IG’s office.
— for Fisher Industries regarding the ongoing lawsuits; that both sides would be able to resolve any potential issues(erosion, construction, maintenance, differences of opinion on potential deflection of water off the wall during flood events, etc.) and the lawsuits would be dismissed.
(September 10)… Hearing summary…
• At the request of both sides, the lawsuit could go to trial September 2021.
• “Judge Crane said he would hold one final status conference on the case prior to Christmas to determine whether the case will be scheduled for trial.”
— for Fisher crews working at the private border wall along the Rio Grande as they continue to fill/fix any issues related to erosion, reseeding of grass, and applying various erosion control solutions on the site.
— that Fisher would be able to come up with affordable, scalable, innovative solutions to greatly shorten the landscape establishment period, provide some initial protection against erosion during the establishment period, and strengthen the long-term stability(resistance to erosion) for all types of riverbank soil & grades/slopes which may be encountered so that the landscape can handle the stronger hurricanes/floods which may arrive in the future
— that Project 2 will eventually benefit the natural habitat; perhaps with the formation of its own riparian zone to prevent erosion at the river’s edge and benefit local flora/fauna… but without preventing operational access & visibility in CBP’s enforcement zone.
— for 100% safety/health/guidance/direction/salvation(through faith in Christ Jesus) for the work crews, security personnel, legal teams, CBP, DHS, Army/USACE, National Guard and all involved in Fisher Industries’ private or federal projects (& other wall contractors)
— that there would be no outside interference (cartels, IBWC, courts/judges, protesters, swamp, etc.) and that if outside interference takes place that it would only work toward Fisher Industries/USA’s benefit
? “The more that a broken system tells you that you’re wrong, the more certain you must be that you must keep pushing ahead. Because it’s the outsiders who change the world and will make a real and lasting difference. Nothing worth doing ever came easy. Treat the word impossible as nothing more than motivation.” ~ President Donald J. Trump ?

WATCH: Migrants Rescued After Being Stuck on New Border Wall
https://www.breitbart.com/border/2020/09/21/watch-migrants-rescued-after-being-stuck-on-new-border-wall/
Excerpts:
— Border Patrol agents patrolling a new section of border wall near the Otay Mesa Port of Entry in Southern California on September 13 encountered two female migrants who became trapped atop the 30-foot bollard wall, according to information provided to Breitbart Texas by San Diego Sector Border Patrol officials.
— The agents found a third person, a male Mexican national, lying injured on the ground between the primary and secondary walls, officials stated. The man became injured after falling from the wall. They also found a fourth man who was uninjured after successfully scaling the primary wall.
— Border Patrol agents called for assistance from local emergency medical services and the San Diego Fire Department. A video, published by LiveLeak shows firemen climbing an extension ladder and helping one of the women climb down the steep ladder.
— Agents arrested the other three migrants for being illegally present in the United States. They transported the migrants to a processing station where they will be expelled to Mexico under Title 42 Coronavirus protection protocols after clearing a medical screening and criminal background investigation.
Okay, we got primary and secondary walls, all well and good, but where’s the damned alligators in between?!
Sorry Maquis, no alligators. However, the Govt. authorized the importation of Sand Worms from Arrakis. /sarc

Did they get away with packing the DC Circuit (the circuit that abuses General Flynn)??? If so why wouldn’t they try the same thing with SCOTUS ???
They seem to believe that they will steal the election but Roberts may not be enough – especially if POTUS can get a new good justice quickly enough; what would they do – secede from the Union???
Is it legal Jerry? Is it the President’s job Jerry? We start the process with the intent of completing but if we run out of time so be it. If the dems pull a Kavanaugh and delay, well America’s voters need to see this too.
” if we run out of time so be it” —- Failure is not an option! A 4-4 SCOTUS would mean the lower courts would decide – so some could say one thing and some could say something else – a split nation? Would the Democrats install (interim/permanent) their own POTUS? I mean places like New York State need more money … Communist China would love this.
If God forbid Pelosi would be installed then RBG could get her ultimate wish … Let’s just pray and try for POTUS Trump and that at least we hold the Senate – the Republicans in the Senate are not so good but the Democrats are like insane – like demonically possessed
I am referring to having to make the confirmation in Trump’s second term if dems delay us. President Trump and Mitch just need to do their jobs. Murkowski needs to go home. She should have just stayed silent, and voted “present ” or not at all.
If the dems want to show America their asses during an election well let em..
Poor choice of words in my first post. I meant dont listen to the political noise
Rep. Nadler’s tweet(s) is/are a prime example of critical thinking (a ‘new’ kind of thinking, give to us courtesy of Alinsky-ites back in the 70s or 80s). Not a scintilla, or iota, of logical, or common sense thinking in a thing he says or tweets.
fascism.
Sorry, but as a PhD in Humanities, 1997, with a certificate in Critical Theory, this cr@p has been going on a lot longer than the 1970s. Look to the Frankfort School FDR brought over here in the 1930s. And beyond them to some sociologists from the 1800s. Communism has long tentacles.

The moron AOC is just admitting what many of us have suspected from the beginning. COVID-19 was a plandemic with the Democrats fingerprints all over it. They used it to shut down cities and states to affect the local, regional, and eventually the national economy to influence the November elections. Well, they’ve been caught, and thankfully a growing number of Americans see the fraud in all of this!
Uniparty culture is “what can I get out of government if I go to D.C. for a few years?” The founders wanted to GIVE not get. The Lion wants to give and that is his reward. 1/2 of America has no idea what the are missing. Make sure you tell some young folks in your life to be observant and witness a true leader. To take in this great moment in history.

Nadler, et al, make promises to pack the court.
Trump has to choose between Barrett, Lagoa, and others? Why not both, or all?
Throw in Wayne LaPierre as well; he’ll be good for a few great years. Imagine what the GOP Senate could be for this country if the likes of Graham and the other noodles could experience the effects of testosterone for once.
He should nominate Pelosi while he’s at it… and watch as AOC jumps on Instagram and commands her Revolutionaries to descend on Pelosi’s manse.

… in reply to
McConnell just confidently locked in 50 votes for a Trump SCOTUS nominee.
I think that, for their own personal safety, senate Republicans need to get a new justice approved as quickly as possible. I wouldn’t put it past these crazed leftists to kill a few senators to stop a confirmation. The sooner it’s done, the safer they are. No, I’m not exaggerating the danger. It’s not a stretch at all to assume that the people who have been committing mayhem for several months would take it to the next level, which would be overt political violence and terrorism.
If the Democrats boycott the hearing, it should be a red flag that a terror attack is imminent.
… they’re assassinating police, why not Senators?
Much less Secret Service security, why you could just go to a softball game and …
Exactly, they have publicly stated that nothing if off the table. We have to take them at their word.
AOC says…
“Let this moment radicalize you”
“I need you to be ready”
“We need to tell [Mitch McConnell] that he is playing with fire.”
That’s week #1.
It’s what Communists do!
Anyone that thinks you are exaggerating the danger is not a treeper! The end justifies the means!
ActBlue, DNC, and Lil Mike Bloomberg have loads of money for losers.
Sorry…YOUR OWN CITY/STATE GOV CAUSED THIS CONFLAGRATION—therefore it is up to YOU the CITIZENS to make it happen…NOT the rest of the country!!!!!
Sec. Pompeo has a op-ed in the Apple Daily ?
China’s Catholics and the Church’s moral witness|Michael R. Pompeo
Excerpt:
“ The human rights situation in China has deteriorated severely under the autocratic rule of Xi Jinping, especially for religious believers. Credible reports have exposed the Chinese Communist Party’s program of forced sterilizations and abortions of Muslims in Xinjiang, its abuse of Catholic priests and laypeople, and its assault on Protestant house churches—all of which are parts of a “Sinicization” campaign to subordinate God to the Party while promoting Xi himself as an ultramundane deity. Now more than ever, the Chinese people need the Vatican’s moral witness and authority in support of China’s religious believers.”……

Reposting comments from Levin interview w/ POTUS.
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2020/09/21/president-trump-talks-to-mark-levin/
Interview excerpts on POTUS actions affecting drug prices…
14:10 – So I did something that nobody though anybody would ever do because the drug companies are the biggest lobby in the country and they’re very powerful … spend hundreds of millions of dollars… they take care of everybody…
14:25 – I executed what’s called a favored nations clause.
14:58 – I executed a rebate clause where the purchasers get the money back.
15:16 – Then I executed a third one… that we can buy our drugs from foreign countries.
15:48 – POTUS changed the law so that states could buy drugs from foreign countries.
15:58 – But soon they won’t have to because when the “favored nation” kicks in that’s even better because we’re going to get it (the drugs) for a lower price.
16:12 – Then I signed a transparency clause so that people can actually go out and bid out… You know you don’t even have the right to go to a drug store and ask them the prices for other drugs.
16:26/16:33 – When you see bad ads about me from the drug companies please remember that means your drug prices are going to be substantially lower.
16:53 – We did something that nobodies done. In 53 years drug prices have never come down. We got it down. We got it down last year, where they actually went down. Very little, but they went down. First time in 53 year.
17:05 – Now you have a situation where there going to come down at numbers like 50%, 60%, 70%.
Short background to above statements by POTUS (May not be comprehensive)…

Excerpt: “Both measures, the Know the Lowest Price Act and the Patient Right to Know Drug Prices Act, aim to end the drug industry’s so-called gag orders of pharmacists, which prevent them from discussing cheaper price options with consumers. These price options include discussing whether a medication may be less expensive if using insurance or paying out-of-pocket.”

Trump issues executive order to lower Medicare drug prices for seniors – Video
https://justthenews.com/politics-policy/health/trump-issues-executive-order-lower-medicare-drug-prices-seniors
Thanks for posting this Stillwater. I live in SC, near the NC border and get NC off-air channels.
The ads, particularly on the channels geared towards seniors, have been dominating the commercial breaks, and most are from Biden and liberal PACs.
Many of the ads state that the President and his party are in the pockets of big pharma… and that all they intend to do is take away insurance and raise prices on medicine.
Just saw one where Biden is trying to cash in on family tragedies, geared around healthcare and what a champion he will be. I was pretty disgusted with it… and it’s only September.
Straight up lies, and that garbage is being broadcast day and night into lots of living rooms around here. They’re hitting NC hard.
I wonder how long it will take for the drug prices to come down across the board for the general populous so that even those with strong Trump Derangement Syndrome will be forced into a serious self examination of their own political beliefs and behaviour.
Annual open enrollment notices for Medicare changes for 2021 are hitting mailboxes now. I just received my notice for UnitedHealth Medicare Part D which is my rx plan. My montly premium went up by 10 percent, they made a lot of changes to the formulary which has resulted in price increases on 2 of my medications. Sadly for me Rx prices have gone up, not down as the President promised. Of course I will still vote for him, but I have been hearing many rumblings from other seniors about not voting for him this time because they believe their social security will be negatively impacted. I am of the belief other health insuance plans as it pertains to Medicare will be increasing costs for 2021. This will c9me out starting 10.15 when Medicare open enrollment begins. 🙁
One needs to read the Exec Order.
https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/executive-order-lowering-drug-prices-putting-america-first-2/
Trump controls prices that are charged to Medicare Part B (some vaccines) and Medicare Part D for prescription drugs, which affect the lowering of drug prices. I don’t know when that goes into effect or if it was Immediate upon signing on 9/13/2020. The EO does NOT include commercial insurance premiums.
I don’t believe he can control what a commercial insurance plan charges for either premiums or drugs. But he does control Medicare and Medicaid programs.
My comments were regarding Medicare Part D premiums. They increased for 2021 as d8d some drug prices. I received my official notice from UnitedHealth yesterday.
Seniors need to be worried if Biden is elected because he said he would usher in Medicare for all including illegals. If this were to be the case, Medicare costs will skyrocket astronomically.
To afford Medicare for all in the US, Medicare coverage for elders will absolutely be cut because we won’t be able to afford the program you have today. Medicare for all would increase your premiums, trim what medical procedures are covered, and instead of Medicare paying 80%, Medicare cost coverage will have to be reduced to 50% or lower.
In the UK, the National Health Service (NHS) has reduced coverage for elders that are provided for younger people simply because of the shorter life span of older people. I had a British friend whose mother’s cancer treatments were terminated by the system because “there was nothing more they can do”. Essentially this was a DEATH PANEL ruling. That would NEVER happen in America under today’s system, but would most certainly occur under a Medicare for all plan in the US. The reason is that the system simply will not be able to cope with the high costs.
Likewise, there is no reason to be worried about SS. Trump is funding SS now through the General Fund (its on tape), while the payroll tax to individuals is on temporary postponement. Please emphasize to friends they need to seek the facts and resist rumor and speculation. Please inform your friends of this if they have worries.
Crooked Mark Warner, (D)emon from Virginia, is running a ad claiming he is introducing legislation that will reduce drug prices for Americans. Is he trying to ride the Trump EO and take credit? I don’t doubt it one second.
Great response.
They could have offered to come back on Festivus for the “airing of the grievances”.
I consider this the DOJ reclaiming their time.

For politics geeks, this is very interesting. Atty Robert Barnes talking to the “People’s Pundit”.
It’s long (2 hours), but I had no idea how sharp Barnes is about Upper Midwest Politics. Starting somewhere around 30 minutes in he starts talking about the Norwegians in WI, MN, IA and ND and how they are anti-war (which is why George W Bush did worse with them in 2004 than in 2000). Being a 6th generation Minnesotan and part Norwegian, I totally concur. A “hawk” Republican will have a harder time in the Upper Midwest than an isolationist Republican. Isolationist is not derogatory term here. It’s a badge of honor. Later they get into a discussion of Lagoa vs Coney Barrett as a SCOTUS pick. Barnes thinks Trump will pick Lagoa and gives many reasons why he thinks she’s a better pick. Agree or disagree, it’s a very interesting conversation – if you have an hour or more.
I listened to part from 1:06 to 1:43. They talk a lot about the judges here. I have no dog in the race and only pray for the best pick.
Barnes has made a strong case for Lagoa (not Barrett) here and in his Twitter account. A few days ago I listened to the highlights of her federal court confirmation hearing. She was impressive and seems to be a strong constitutional originalist.
The biggest complaint I hear about Lagoa is that she hasn’t been on the federal court long so there isn’t much to judge her on (always a risk).
Trump is supposed to actually meet her Friday in Florida isn’t he?
Pray for POTUS to make a wise decision, whatever that is.
This was my favorite clip from Lagoa’s recent circuit court confirmation hearing:

Here are highlights from Lagoa’s recent confirmation (longer version) for any one intetested. Intro, then her opening stmt, Q&A starts around 6:12:

Stocks were down big early today but bounced back. My guess is that initial fear and uncertainty due to the death of Ginsberg was quelled by Mcconnell floor speech:

Who is the Jensen mentioned by shipwreckedcrew? TIA
Ben Shapiro breaks down the Supreme Court confirmation battle that lies ahead and what it will mean for the future of America.
The “Park Avenue” angle is so freaking lame. Like, somebody got payed for that crap?
It reminds me of the Green Acres theme song… which I quite enjoy… but that’s about it.
Dahling, I love you, but give me Park Avenue.
Joe Biden spent his entire political career getting as far away from Scranton as he could as fast as he could.
He only used it to fool people into helping him in that endeavor.
Herschel knows!
Young Republicans are fighters.
“swing + miss at my intellect”… laughable!
New York needs to flush Ms. Get Radicalized at next opportunity… they’ve got to be able to do better than that juvenile socialist huckster.
I’m not sure putting a Green Nude Eel through a paper shredder is the best idea. The climoslime might gum up the works …
Her intellect is such a small target it is easy to miss.

Indeed.
Who give a rat’s about repaying China anything when they let a manipulated Gain of Function study out of lab, furiously lied about it, then intentionally tried to infect the world so they wouldn’t be the only ones impacted by their own* industrial accident?

More from todays PC in Florida. Polk Cty Sheriff:
DemMSM “journalists” and Dem Politicians need to see this one. Help ’em understand the difference between “protest” and “riot”…..maybe.
Thanks for posting sunnydaze! I just saw DeSantis on Tucker promoting this legislation.
I LOVE IT! I wish my state of SC would do the same. THIS is the kind of stand and leadership that folks have been craving on a state level.
He pointed out how campaigning Reps/Senators in the state will be asked about the legislation and have to take a stand on it. Brilliant!

remember joe, if we lose contact just try to buy us some time… look for some easy sniffs.
No. Just jam the signal.
Simple. Use the superhetrodyne principal to pick up the frequency. (My guess near 900Mhz).
Then overload it at 1/8th wave. Flames will shoot out of his ears …
