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 †

Please join the Global Prayer for Election Integrity on Wednesday night at 8pm EST, 7pm CT, etc. It can be found on wellversedworld.org or facebook. It is awesome.
Question for you. Do you feel like I do?
Here’s a great Tuba Skinny . . . in happier times . . . I think the extra trumpet is Alison Balsom from the UK.
Actually that is a gal from Canada I believe. She is very good.
Bria Skonberg
Yep. She is good. You have to have some chops to play in that band. 🙂
Must be a subliminal message in this band’s music!
Every time I hear it my foot starts tapping uncontrollably…..
Beautiful- those were the days!
Tuba Skinny…… YEAH!

Thank you! I just watched, tears coming down….
I really want to see this movie Nomadland, with Frances McDormand. So interesting that there is an entire subculture of older people who live on the road.
Great line–spending too much of your time remembering (or something like that if I didn’t get it exactly)
Yes, that’s it in a nutshell. I liked the one about “I’m not homeless, I’m just houseless. Not the same thing, right?” That’s sort of the attitude that Native Americans had in days gone by. The vast landscape was their home. The tipis and the huts were just shelter.
When you think about it, that lifestyle is probably safer for many able-bodied older folks who have fallen on hard times, than living alone in a house in some deteriorating neighborhood.
. . . but deliver us from the Evil One.
Prayer of Saint Ioannikios the Great (+ 846)
My hope is the Father, my refuge the Son, my protection the Holy Spirit. O Holy Trinity, glory to Thee.

Inexcusable
By Pastor Cornelius R. Stam
The second chapter of Paul’s Epistle to the Romans is a dark, sad passage, but it opens the door to the richest blessing the human heart can contain: salvation by grace.
The opening words: “Therefore thou art inexcusable,” are blunt indeed, but God exposes our sinful condition only so as to save us from it.
This is where most philosophies and the Bible clash head-on. Most philosophies close their eyes to the sinful nature of man. They argue, generally, that man is inherently good, while overwhelming evidence bears witness that he is inherently bad. Therefore human philosophy offers no salvation from sin and its just penalty. Only the Bible does this with its “gospel [good news] of the grace of God.”
In Paul’s day the Greek philosophers condemned the uncivilized pagans for their open immorality and wickedness. But while preaching virtue these moralizers themselves practiced vice, and God said:
“Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things” (Rom. 2:1).
It is the same today. Multitudes of self-righteous people are outwardly cultured and moral, but they forget that God looks upon the heart and sees hate as murder, jealousy as theft and the lustful look as adultery. He considers, not what we do, outwardly, but what we desire to do or wish we dared to do. He sees the desires and motives of the heart.
But thank God, “Christ died for sinners” — guilty sinners, and all who come to God by faith in Christ are “justified freely by His grace, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus” (Rom. 3:24).
“Inexcusable,” or “justified freely by His grace,” through faith in the Christ who died for our sins? Which will it be?

2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.

‘Stirring Up A Russia Scandal To Vilify Trump’: Declassified Brennan CIA Notes Prove Claims Were Political Hoax
Newly declassified documents, released to the U.S. Congress, appear to prove the expensive and nationally demoralizing Russian interference narrative was a broad political hoax by the Democratic Party.
Proving claims made in the explosive book The Russia Lie, documents released by Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe allegedly show CIA Director John Brennan plotting against a political candidate and appearing to brief or prepare to brief the President of the United States at the time – Barack Obama – on the matter.

Newly Declassified Memo: Biden Briefed About Burisma Corruption Shortly Before Demanding Ukraine Prosecutor’s Firing

Chinese Spy Assigned To Date Eric Swalwell Begs To Be Sent To Labor Camp Instead
BEIJING—Sources within the Chinese government confirmed today that the spy who was assigned to date Rep. Eric Swalwell and get information from him abruptly returned to China and begged to be sent to a labor camp instead.
“Please — don’t make me go back!” she begged after returning to China in 2015. “I’ll do anything! I’ll break rocks! I’ll build a railroad! I’ll — I’ll even make shoes for Nike! Just don’t make me go back and date that man again!”
“It’s cruel and unusual punishment. Which, I guess, is allowed here, but still. It’s not a good look,” she said.
An international human rights board agreed, putting pressure on the Chinese government to stop forcing spies to date Eric Swalwell and other U.S. congressmen. “We call on the Chinese to resort to traditional methods of punishment like labor camps, torture, and just straight-up executing citizens rather than the cruelty of sending spies to America to date congressmen.”
President Xi Jinping, ever a gracious ruler, granted her request, and she has been sent to a forced labor camp rather than having to go back to date a U.S. congressman like Eric Swalwell. Though several Americans have reported getting strange messages scrawled on the inside of their Nikes like “Christine Fang here please send help” and “Eric Swalwell really did fart on live TV.”

Is the whole government in on this fraudulent election?
It’s amazing how concerted the effort seems to be to illegally oust President Trump.
Every once in a while, most of us wind up in situations where we are completely baffled. It may be a simple situation, such as having looked literally everywhere for our reading glasses, and not having found them. Did they violate the laws of physics and just vanish? One knows that that cannot be true, and yet, as the old saying goes, once one has ruled out every logical possibility, only the illogical remains, no matter how unlikely it is.
Another situation is the one we are in now. Any informed person, with a modicum of sense, can see that the presidential election results, at best, are not to be trusted and at worst are rampantly fraudulent. Yet it seems that court after court, and investigative agencies one after the other, are turning a blind eye. Are they violating the laws of physics?
It turns out that the reading glasses did not disappear; they were in place, but pushed up, on one’s forehead all along. There was a logical explanation after all.
And sadly, it turns out that the courts and government agencies were not turning a blind eye. They have been, all along, part of the fraud. No matter how unlikely that seems, it is the only answer remaining.
It is unsurprising, then, that there was nothing, literally nothing, from which the dark state would refrain, in its attack — not even if it destroys the republic. This was the final banzai charge. It was do or die.
There is only one remaining backstop that can defeat the dark state. It is we, the people, the heirs of 1776. In that year, the Founders declared their concerns not only for themselves, but for their as yet unborn “posterity.” They cared about us. Will we care as much for our descendants?

I posted the article on the ‘president thread’ with the comment. If they knew this why allow it before the courts?
WRESTLING BEFORE GOD
“Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God…praying always…” Eph. vi. 13, 18
You have to wrestle AGAINST the things that prevent you from getting to God, and you wrestle in prayer FOR other souls; but never say that you wrestle WITH God in prayer, it is scripturally untrue. If you do wrestle with God, you will be crippled all the rest of your life. If, when God comes in some way you do not want, you take hold of Him as Jacob did and wrestle with Him, you compel Him to put you out of joint. Don’t be a hirpler in God’s ways, but be one who wrestles before God with things, becoming more than conqueror through Him. Wrestling before God tells in His Kingdom. If you ask me to pray for you and I am not complete in Christ, I may pray but it avails nothing; but if I am complete in Christ my prayer prevails all the time. Prayer is only effective when there is completeness – “Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God.”
Always distinguish between God’s order and His permissive will, i.e., His providential purpose towards us. God’s order is unchangeable; His permissive will is that with which we must wrestle before Him. It is our reaction to the permissive will of God that enables us to get at His order. “All things work together for good to them that love God” – to those who remain true to God’s order, to His calling in Christ Jesus. God’s permissive will is the means whereby His sons and daughters are to be manifested. We are not to be like jelly-fish saying, “It’s the Lord’s will.” We have not to put up a fight before God, not to wrestle with God, but to wrestle before God WITH THINGS. Beware of squatting lazily before God instead of putting up a glorious fight so that you may lay hold of His strength.

The very name of that organization reeks of pure fraud and disingenuousness.

Gov. Greg Abbott continues to welcome liberal big tech companies to Texas. California had voted Republican in every presidential election from the 1950s to the 1980s, then the liberals took over.

For planners, preppers…check out Zach’s video from this morning:
Along the same ‘planning/prepping’ line, the youtube channel “Sutton’s Daze” has coordinated a month long event called “CANUARY.”
Every day in January, there will be a video presentation on canning something – 18 youtube homestead/prep channels are participating. There will be both water bath AND pressure canning in the series.
Here’s the announcement video, in the description there’s a list of all the participating channels. Looking forward to this series!

“There is no serious person out there who would suggest somehow that you could even rig America’s elections, in part because they’re so decentralized and the numbers of votes involved,” Obama said.
Lots of talk about The Great Reset. End of Western Civilization talk. But suppose we take a lesson from that Very Stable Genius and own the downside. There is a business negotiation response that goes “your price, but MY terms.” So, let’s hijack the Great Reset.
Let’s let them have their Great Reset of capitalism, but on our terms. Your reset, but OUR values. Let’s make it The Great Christian Reset. Everything they propose, every program or redistribution, must be measured against Christ’s Sermon On the Mount, Matthew 5-7. Everything.
Come on, Gates Foundation, ante it all in to build churches to deliver vaccines from and print Bibles to hand out to everyone after their shot.
The Great Christian Reset. Has a nice ring to it.

The necessary Trump card to be played after all the other options fail is the Insurrection Act, not Martial Law. It does what Trump needs to do, put down an Insurrection, which is what we have here.
Martial Law, on the other hand, cancels the Constitution in order to save it, and is much more dangerous to do, and is overkill.
This video makes the case for the Insurrection Act, as opposed to Marshal Law, and is worthy of your time.
Charles Murray FINALLY throws down the gauntlet with his new publication “Facing Reality: Two Truths about Race in America”“The charges of white privilege and systemic racism that are tearing the country apart fIoat free of reality. Two known facts, long since documented beyond reasonable doubt, need to be brought into the open and incorporated into the way we think about public policy: American whites, blacks, Hispanics, and Asians have different violent crime rates and different means and distributions of cognitive ability. The allegations of racism in policing, college admissions, segregation in housing, and hiring and promotions in the workplace ignore the ways in which the problems that prompt the allegations of systemic racism are driven by these two realities.
………………..
We on the center left and center right who are the American Creed’s natural defenders have painted ourselves into a corner. We have been unwilling to say openly that different groups have significant group differences. Since we have not been willing to say that, we have been left defenseless against the claims that racism is to blame. What else could it be? We have been afraid to answer. We must. Facing Reality is a step in that direction.”
Too late. Damage is already done. There’s simply no coming back from where we are now.
The Constitution was written by the founding population. That founding population has been replaced.
Now consider the nations from whence the replacement populations hail: Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, and multiple ME nations. Consider the governments that THOSE populations created in their homelands.
THAT is the kind of government that has to be instituted in the US now, because the one created BY the founders FOR people who descended FROM those founders are gone now.
Our replacements have to figure out what kind of government THEY want. They simply can’t function under the one that the founding population created (See Molyneux on the IQ required to maintain our Republic – as the founding population has been replaced, the national IQ has dropped, and that means our Republic simply CANNOT be maintained by our replacements.)
Charlie Kirk Explains Critical Race Theory To Homeschooling Mother In Georgia

Charlie Kirk traveled the US a few years ago, speaking on college campuses to ‘young Republican’ groups. He spent part of each presentation explaining to those young folks that gay marriage and homosexuality have always been conservative values.
He’s exactly the same sort of disgusting demon infested filth that Ben Shapiro is.
What was that poem that President Trump used to read at his 2016 rallies…
It’s like that. Charlie says “let me in, oh dumbassed conservatives!”
Right ON, Mandy. I admire your spirit. Institutional conservatism has been infiltrated by a bunch of mincing mimi boys with doe eyes and simpering smiles.
In Ada County, Idaho it’s difficult to back the blue when you see what is happening. When there were protestors out in front of health official’s house ( from the District Health Office since the governor gave them the power to mandate covid restrictions), the police came with a warrant and arrested the protestors. Now there were protestors out in front of the District Health Office since they were voting on new mandates and the police were on the surrounding building rooftops apparently with rifles. They said they didn’t let anyone see the rifles though as if that makes you feel better.

lilbirdee12’s prayer:
Our Heavenly Father, Your children come to you tonight to ask for healing and peace throughout our country so that we may return to being One Nation Under God. Guide us to be leaders in Your Kingdom, spreading Your Love and Salvation to all. Forgive us our sins and deliver us from evil.
Lord, we ask for a blanket of protection over all our troops and law enforcement who serve to defend and protect us. Bless our representatives with the strength and wisdom they need to achieve the path You have chosen for us.
Please place Your Guardian Angels of Protection around Donald Trump and Mike Pence and their families as they seek to lead America back to You. Also, we pray for Angels to protect and support our Sundance as he works for justice and peace.
Grant us patience, Lord, as the evil ones try to anger us and cause us to fall.
Spread blessings over Israel and Netanyahu.
We humbly ask that You please comfort those who are grieving and in pain.
Thank you Father, for Your Love and the gift of Life.
In Jesus name, we pray. Amen.
Amen.
Amen
amen. And Lord please shelter and help General Flynn and his family, and help all patriots and freedom loving people around the globe.
Question for any Treepers that live in SC and are not white (or are mixed and don’t look white). What has been your experience with racism there? I’m thinking about moving there and I’m hearing from a few white and brown people that racism is still more prevalent than you would think. I’m mixed race and so is my wife. I would describe myself as a pro life Libertarian so politically I am not worried about fitting in.
I know that all white people are not racists. There are bad apples in every bunch. As a matter of fact, I have experienced more racism from other minorities than whites. I am also cognizant that a few bad experiences from one or two people do not represent the population of SC as a whole. I just was hoping to see if anyone here dealt with it in SC and what were the circumstances. Was it hard core calling you names or was it something softer like following you around the store, the police pulling you over for no reason or not being able to buy/rent in certain areas.
Thanks for any insight you can provide.
