Steadfast doesn’t mean when it’s easy; the term has no meaning when things are working according to our own convenient interests. Steadfast means standing strong when it’s challenging, difficult and unnerving. Just as courage is not the absence of fear, rather it is taking action despite being fearful; so too is steadfast a decision.
Often when things are disconcerting, we retreat to the place where we are comfortable. However, steadfast is unwavering despite the obstacles and difficulties. When we don’t hold the words to comfort the grieved, yet we show up and sit quietly just to eliminate loneliness, that is a steadfast commitment. When we see adversity on the face of another, and we choose to engage with our time and comfort, that is a steadfast decision.
When CTH was formed, it was a small assembly of misfits who were not fearless, but brave enough to be comfortable within our discomfort; and we knew we had to look deeply at the issues which face us. We remind ourselves that ‘truth has no agenda‘ & truth exists despite our feelings of the subject matter. The core elements of CTH are based on this principle of remaining steadfast amid the face of adversity, national, political or even personal.
The CTH armory is insightful, wise and often purposeful, but this assembly is foremost a fellowship. A steadfast decision to stand together and figure out how all of these intense subjects, issues and events interact, influence and ultimately impact our lives.
Right now our nation is facing a time of extreme trepidation. Nerves are frayed, emotions are raw and individually we find our compass spinning in a way that destabilizes us. Into this climate the originating value of our core assembly becomes critical. CTH remains steadfast & committed to the best hopes and solutions within us. We strive with purpose.
Each day for over a decade we begin with a simple prayer. We host a candle for those who need prayers and support, and we engage purposefully with the intent to cherish the value, wisdom and skills that each unique person brings to the subject matter being discussed.
My personal commitment toward that end has been to remain steadfast and unwavering in defense of this little corner of the internet. To maintain a place where facts can be discovered, truth can be unearthed and honest discussion/opinion can be afforded.
In July of this past year, it was our CTH mission to ensure that people within the institutions of our government were aware of: (a) evidence of specific corruption; and (b) our knowledge about it. It was during one of those briefing trips to DC when I recognized a serious disconnect between what the people within those institutions of government viewed as their role, and what We The People expected of them.
It was also the first time when I realized that internal corrective action was unlikely to succeed because the scale of corrupt activity was not simply based on intent, but also present because the absence of morality was metastatic throughout the system.
I’m certain there are good people in DC, but the systems surrounding them have lost their originating purpose. The central function of U.S. government is now so corrupt the institutions regard ‘We The People‘ as the problem the people within the system must protect themselves from.
I quickly recognized the solutions to our national issues were never going to come from our requests to those who operate within the institutions. However, even worse was the impact we were having on each-other due to our national frustration. It was evident within our frustration – as a nation we are losing a sense of identity, unity and fellowship.
The only people who can change that dynamic is us.
We are ‘The People’ we have been waiting for; yet, the professional political class, purposefully walled-off within this corrupt system, are also purposefully blind to our assembly. In order for the DC politicians to continue operating corrupt levers within a corrupt machine they must ignore the will of the same people they are supposed to represent.
President Trump represents ‘We The People‘, and as a consequence those within this corrupt system viewed his appearance with the same dismissive outlook they carry toward those who voted for him.
CTH (The Last Refuge) was founded upon this acceptance long before Donald Trump became president in 2016; and the actions by both wings of the UniParty congress over the past six weeks have been clear evidence of what we always knew was present.
Our current national challenge is to figure out a way to confront this dynamic and then deal with it. However, we must deal with it in a way that does not destroy the founding principles of our constitutional republic. There are many disappointments around us, but we must remain strong and purposeful with any chosen direction. Misplaced corrective action regardless of intent is neither prudent nor wise.
Above all, those who understand the larger issues must remain united and hold a sense of fellowship toward each-other if we are to overcome the challenges. The purpose of using COVID fear as a strategic weapon to achieve division is evident. Unilateral fiats can be an effective strategy deployed by those who benefit from division; we must counter this effort.
The fraud within the phrase “social distancing” not only creates distance between us but also creates a void of loneliness within the soul. Into this void of isolation, fear takes hold and becomes toxic. Thus the true value of fellowship is more important than ever.
Right now everything around us seems less focused on the pursuit of happiness and more focused on what happiness we are missing. At the heart of that anxiety is this sense of foreboding. A choking sense of fear and worry; a sense of trepidation. Faith in a loving and purposeful God is now more important than ever, embrace it – share it.
This moment in history is where each person of strength holds a higher level of influence, and we should engage in the lives of others to show that strength. Right now people around you are looking for courage, optimism and hope. If you do not provide that to your family, friends and community, you allow the alternative, despair, to take root.
Despair is the foreboding outcome of the same evil systems that create it. Recognize despair when you see it, intercept it and eliminate it when you can… AND you always can. Tend to the flickering flame of liberty & teach others, especially our youth, the skills to defend it.
Do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. We are a nation of liberty loving independent and free-thinking people; born under a compact to allow each to live their lives according to their own purpose. Do not abdicate the duty to advocate and protect individual liberty to anyone except yourself. Your dreams are unique to you.
Stay strong for your family…
Stay strong for your community….
Stay strong for our nation… We need each-other.
Steadfast,
~ Sundance
Dear Treehouse,
[…] I have been saying for some time that America is at a tipping point. Regardless of who is in apparent control of the Government (Executive, Legislative or Judiciary), there are forces at work that truly do lead to the creation of a “Uni-party.” As the underbelly of the Uni-party has been exposed, those in control have become vulnerable.
The real prospect that God-fearing, hard-working, honest Americans are beginning to see how the system has been rigged to manipulate them is upon us. Your dogged determination to lay bare the ugliness of what Washington has become is to be greatly admired.
We have lacked true leadership for too many years. This of course creates a vacuum and vacuums are dangerous because they allow false prophets to arise. People are desperate for someone to lead and say that they can restore the values that we once held dear as a nation.
Perhaps this is why your banner with the redhead staring at the gathering storm calls to me. The storm is just off the shore, building energy, waiting to crash over all of us. Yet, in the gathering darkness you have provided a light. A beacon of hope in a dismal world. A beacon which illuminates an alternative to the false choices of the Hegelian dialectic that is forced upon us all.
May God keep and protect you as you gather and collate the evidence to lay bare the ugliness that has become government, as it is now practiced, and reclaim all that makes America truly great. May the Holy Spirit guide you in your words and actions. Know that there are many that believe in what you are doing and stand ready to do their part. Remember that the darkness is always greatest before the dawn. I am confident that a new dawn is about to break.
~ A Patriot
Thank you Sundance for another clarifying post. Regardless of what happens, my wishlist involves some form of an internet bill of rights, coordinated market responses that starve the beast (ditch TV, all MSM, all FAANG web/product use), real school choice and a critical repudiation of the Godless “mocky mocky” online culture we have, replaced with a restored Judeo-Christian-rooted sentiment of fairness & goodwill.
I was just about to post about my own personal wishlist. I think one thing we can all do right now is consider what we personally believe to be priorities for the second Trump term, so that he will have a clear picture of what we want, and be able to hit the ground running.
All that positive energy can’t hurt.
Just say’n… 😉
Hate me if you desire; however,
Trump “hit the ground running”
four years ago. Trump has one
priority; which is, preserve our
great Constitutional Republic.
He did; that was then, this is now, and some input from us, all ready and waiting for him, will save time.
I am ready
me too
At this point it seems to me incumbent for each of us to contact our representatives by phone, email or USPS saying that we must not permit the illegal votes to be certified and counted. The supreme court of our land is not listening to us; they have opted out. We have to depend on members of Congress to challenge and refuse to accept the known fraudulent vote counts in specific states and we have to depend on Vice President Pence to start in motion the Congressional mechanism to elect a president. Call. Email. Main #: 202-224-3121.
I will do so, have done so.
I think in the future, as Sundance says, will have to be more engaged.
Become involved instead of sitting on the sidelines. Go to school board meetings, run for school board, go to town meetings. Start local.
I am also thinking that we need to actually visit our reps (state and National) in person- eye to eye.
I want them to know that we are real people, not just a voicemail or email they can erase and forget.
And visit often.
Our churches are also being infiltrated (we know so many already have). We must stomp out the evil as soon as it starts. We cannot allow it to take root anywhere.
And pray!
Have been doing that for weeks, I don’t even get a from letter. They will not let you talk to person even if in office at the time of call. I have sent a ton of letters. Yes, it feel better and yet nothing is going to change until we the people force that change. I am done with them all.
I’m from Michigan you can forget that all pretend gutless Republicans. They let Detroit run them.
Minnesota, too. Three idiot “Republicans” who kiss-up to their Democrat bosses everyday.
I am mad at myself for helping them, and mad at them for lying to my face beforehand.
If the lines are busy or their message box is full at their DC offices, they also have offices within their representative states to call.
“Tend to the flickering flame of liberty & teach others, especially our youth, the skills to defend it.“
Explain to our youth WHY it must be defended; explain the alternative to liberty.
Please help open the eyes of the younger generation. Support those willing to be in the arena, boldly attempting to influence pop culture – bc EVERYTHING is downstream from
pop culture. Lift them up, encourage them.
No more just preaching to the choir. For such a time as this, get out there to infiltrate, influence.
God Bless you Sarah you are a pioneer in that regard.
You know we all voted for you, not the one who shall remain nameless. Just so you know. Thank you for all that you have sacrificed. Run for the Senate……..please.
YAY, SARAH! <3
“No more just preaching to the choir. For such a time as this, get out there to infiltrate, influence.”
I’ve spoken here of my Eagle Ace father, who went up to Canada to join the RAF in WW2. He was a faithful Christian, but also a warrior. He’s my inspiration to be proactive, and fight.
Sarah, went to your rallies in MI, you were the only spark of life in the Mc-uniparty ticket-you were the one who represented us and our values. God bless you and all you have endured.
ABSOLUTELY spot on.
Thanks CTH and Treepers. Keep the faith.
God Bless Trump and USA.
Oh my God, is that really you?
You are so right, no more just preaching to the choir. God bless and thank you for your example of dignity.
Thank you Sarah. I want you to run for Senate. Please! Blessing to you and yours!
I couldnt agree more…have been trying to do so since 2007…and more vociferously since this past January.
Our youth truly dont SEE what is happening…as adults and as parents …it is our duty to make them SEE….to enable them to learn that the macro picture matters as well as the micro…
Keep the faith everyone and keep pushing…
Thank you Sarah for your service to this Great Country call America. We patriot remember what you did for us and how you have been a beacon of hope for true Americans. Again I thank you for being a true loving patriot American.
God Bless you Sarah.
GBU & GBA!
Hi Sarah:
You were the main and only reason why I voted for that McCain. My intuition was telling me that time, not to, but I did because of you.
Cheers to all of us and onward to victory.
Great to see you, Sarah! Thanks for the encouragement.
That reminds me, though–we never see Paul around here. It’s weird. I guess he’s busy workin’ that Decision Desk.
Next time you’re hanging around the Veep Candidates Club, could you ask him to stop by? We’d like to have a chat with him.
Best,
Thank you Sarah. You are the only reason I voted form HIM. Please run for Senate.
Yes, we need to keep the flame of liberty lit for our youth. Although my 16 year old and I can’t make it to DC on the 6th, we are going to Des Moines instead. I have my lesson plan already written: Road Trip to Save the Republic!
Excellent admonishment, Sarah.
Surprisingly there are plenty of youth who sense that something is wrong and they are eager to find truth and hear it from those who can articulate it well without talking down to them.
Are the days of Kennedy’s Camelot coming to an end? Is the little Red Book morphing into a giant Red Wave? Has a narcissist generation, the Baby Boomers, done so much structural damage thqt we will not survive as a nation? You might ask “what’s in a name” and yet if one thinks really hard B. Hussein Obama should tell you everything you need to know about evil. As to race, which one of us got to pick our parents?
Could all this turmoil be just another classic battle between Love and Hate? Seems to me this web site was founded on love, not hate. We march on, no matter what!
I do not read this site as being one where the favorite commenters are blaming a whole generation as being the cause of todays problems. Being a baby boomer and a son of an Airborne Combat Engineer that ended WW2 in the heart of Nazi Germany I take offence to your comment. I and my fellow baby boomers were not fodder for Johnson and his military Industrial Complex masters to be sent to kill and die for a people we never heard of. Narcissist generation!? Not a good way for US to come together.
“Make love not war!” “Hell no, we won’t go?” “Sex, drugs and Rock ‘n Roll!”
Well Elias, seems you were not fodder, knew how evil the military industrial complex was and most likely still is (in your perspective) but you may not have read much while in school…I don’t know but this might offer some an insight for you: “Generation of Narcissus” by Henry Malcolm with and Introduction by R. Buckminster Fuller (1971). While my government considers me a combat veteran of Viet Nam (66,67), I think you might have been one of those students who had all the answers on that war to keep from serving. I could be wrong here too, but no matter–I really don’t care that you take offense, if for no other reason than I don’t think you know that much about the dynamics of a narcissistic personality. However, if what you say about your dad is true, then he and I are brothers in many ways…many ways, and for that I give you a pass and wish you the best of luck these coming four years.
It’s all psychobabel rap too me. The only truth here is the Soul within us. When we cleanse this mind the lusterious pearl buried in its mud will shine. The soul will eventually go back to its source like a drop of water into the ocean.
In every civilization since the dawning of time the success of that civilization is typically its undoing. E. Gibbon’s: The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire is a great look at one of the most successful Empires and its demise, first published in 1776. Perhaps an introspective work of where the British Empire found itself in 1776. Spread thin, with too many plates spinning in the air.
The mission of the swamp for the past 50+ years was to destroy our commonality as Americans. Pit one group against another. We started seeing hyphenated Americans best example, the grifter Jesse Jackson’s use of the term African-American and the Rainbow Push Coalition. The Balkanization of America got its foothold and the grievance industry took off to new heights. Anyone who pushed back on this dangerous strategy was instantly labeled a racist, homophobe, anti-immigrant et al we all know the obias & isms. This was intentional and done specifically to destroy the fabric of the USA to usher in the global reset, NWO, Agenda 21, call it what you will.
Then; “a funny thing happened on the way to the forum”. The election of our Great American President Donald John Trump. His America First policies ran directly against the globalist cabal’s plan for our demise and they labeled him and us an existential threat. In this latest act of desperation the “attempted” steal of the election, they are all in. The good news if we stick with our VSGDJT we can break their backs, regardless of how this fraud is settled.
Either way, by their foolish and desperate action they have released the whirlwind. Never again will their Kabuki Theater have the same effect; these frauds have been exposed for who and what they are, self-serving criminals whose only concern is; “what’s in it for me?”
Keep the Good Lord close, your prayers going up as the world is replete with failed civilizations who lose their moorings and drift into oblivion. But unlike civilizations of the past our brilliant Founders studied history and gave us solutions to remedy this coup attempt. We Know and “they” know that President Trump won and won big, my constant admonition: there are worse things than losing an election. Please Lord allow it to be peaceful.
God Bless America!
Stan:
Beautifully said, thank you.
Thank you Sundance for the encouragement again. I am very distressed overt this hoax of covid. Every single one of my family members have fallen for the fraud. That includes my 3 grown children and spouses and my 4 brothers and spouses. They won’t listen to any thing I try to say. They act like I am a nut job.
Because of covid I was left alone on Christmas day. My one brother came to see me so I wasn’t totally alone all day. I was invited to my son’s home on Christmas Eve. At noon that day I ate in a small restaurant that refuses to close with a couple of friends. I saw no danger in doing this. I made the mistake of disclosing this fact at my son’s house. We were supposed to have a family Christmas back at his house on the day after Christmas. My son was irate that I endangered his in laws by going into his house after eating in that establishment that I was punished by being excluded from this event, which was really supposed to be my Christmas with my family.
I am not saying this for anyone to feel sorry for me. I’m saying it because it demonstrates how the powers that be have harmed families and friends by this false pandemic. That is their goal and in many cases they have achieved it. My hurt is not going to be easily forgotten. I don’t think I will ever forget this Christmas. Thank God I have friends who feel the way I do and we support each other.
I feel your pain.
Praying for you and for your family to have discernment.
God bless!
The hardest part will come after the ‘pandemic’ hoax is exposed for what it was/is. People who have fallen for a scam are usually too embarrassed to admit it, and are easily angered to cover that up. Be patient my friend – you’re not alone.
There will be some who will never “see” the hoax. They will never see it because they don’t want to believe that those they hoisted to god status would ever hurt them or harm them.
These naive fools think that people like Pelosi, Schumer, Whitmer, Cuomo, Graham, McConnel, etc really care about them and they just know better.
Naivety is dangerous.
Yes, one of my friends (a physicist) said, “We must trust our public servants to pursue the public good.”
They believe the lockdown is done for our benefit and protection, that the government has mobilized to protect us from dying.
The hoax leaves like a sign at the train station separating Jews from the rest of the Germans. When complete.
Most will never admit they were wrong or misled.
They are invested in their fear and in their belief that they are doing good for others.
Forgive your family. Rejoice in the Lord always. Rejoicing in the Lord looks like this: you smile all day. Praise the Lord.
Amen!!!!!
Please know you are not alone. It has divided my family to the point that I am not sure I have a relationship with my son and daughter-in-law any longer. I have also been accused of ‘putting them in danger’ and that I ‘put ideology before family’ and they have removed themselves from any family activities including eating a meal together. Yet the hypocrisy amazes me at times as I see them going to Atlanta for the day and visiting a hair salon. This is also a Christmas I will never forget as well and many bridges have been burned. I am grateful for God ‘s faithfulness and the (few_) friends in my community who do see what’s happening as do people here.
Sookey, is that part of the big plan? Divide and conquer. Let’s see which ones will follow?
Nancy, I am so sorry. I cannot imagine how hurt you are. Just know that you have a huge family here that supports and cares about you. Stay strong.
You describe what is happening all around me. I am a 60 y/o male and have watched my older sisters feud and develop lasting hatreds over the same thing you experienced. My oldest sister washing all items that come into the house and acting like a fool but will hear no criticism. This is also a person who believes Our President is a :liar” and has “done nothing for the middle class.” She is a libtard.
In fact all of the friends and family that have gone covid crazy are left leaning folks who did not vote for PDJT.
On a similar note, I am exhausted and the stress has eaten me up day and night since oh, mid October. This post was very necessary and very uplifting but I find, it’s momentary. I have many things to be thankful for and we are in the process of focusing our efforts on the vital parts of life such as safety, sustenance and worship. Work, though necessary seems more and more like an archaic concept that matters less and less each day. I feel despair when I consider the Left winning the steal but I do not allow myself to stay there and without even realizing, I’ve been doing what SD suggests. Lifting up others and maintaining an air of confidence on all of my social media. I know several folks who voted for PDJT and were avid “campaigners” leading up to 11/3 however; they have bought into the fake news and feel any further hope or participation is worthless. I have shared all of my media with them and encouraged them to do what we all know they need to TURN OFF TV.
Fight on Treeper’s and Thank You!!
I am the youngest of 7. 5 are alive. I did not recieve 1 phone call or Christmas Card from my 3 brothers or sister this year because of my support for Trump. They are dead to me. I will be 57 in Feb 2021 and will never look back…
Good for you! I am in the 60’s. we are 4 sisters three are fir Trump. The who lives in dallas are all libtards and I cut her off since NOV 3rd. No christmas wishes or phone call, Not looking back!
Screwauger:
I encourage you and others who are able to read this, to attend the prayer meeting specifically for our beloved and legitimate winner Pres. Trump that RSBN has been hosting thru youtube.
It is usually at 1700H Pacific time (California time). It is just for 30-36minutes. Just type in RSBN 12-29-20 (whatever
day it is). But I would
like you ton know that sometimes you have to look for RSBN channel itself, because just by typing it will not come up. I don’t know if you tube is purposely doing it.
But anyway, it is actually uplifting being a part of that prayer meeting. Try it.
Here is a link to RSBN’s site; yes, their daily Prayer for the President is 5 pm east coast time:
https://rsbnetwork.com/
correction – 8 pm east coast time.
Thank you I am with you. Have a crazy sister who trashed President Trump for 4 years in my house and now I have cut her off! Worthless people. She and her family claim to be christians but support PP who kills 60 million babies, This time I am standing by my faith and not looking back. We go to church. Non denominational, No one wears mask, Pastor big supporter of Trump!
This American Thinker article “Is Nothing Happening? Or is Trump Channeling Sun Tzu?” to be apropos to the conflicting thoughts running through my day; and for which being Steadfast gives rise to for hanging in, and yes – definitely TURN OFF TV!
https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2020/12/is_nothing_happening_or_is_trump_is_channeling_sun_tzu.html
N-N-Nancy, in a very similar situation with one side of my family. Even told by a very ‘smart’ PhD chemist who hasn’t left his house since April that because of the risks to him and his wife (both 40ish) he won’t eat at a restaurant until they do a clinical study on transmission of COVID in cooked food. A PhD chemist… must have missed the section of study that discussed the effects of heat on protein and nucleic acids.
The world has gone mad, all rationality & reason have been discarded and if you DARE to point that out, YOU are treated like a pariah by those who have been brainwashed into thinking the sky is falling.
I guess I would say to them when they call.
I’m doing just fine like I have been for the last year.Still healthy.
I miss you guys.Not much more you can do.
Your not alone tho.Life will get better. By the end of all this,when people finally find out they were hoodwinked. Well ya think Americans are pissed off now. Just wait.
This seems like a really bad social experiment that’s going to back fire bigly. Be steadfast be prepared.
Life’s good!
3 members of our family did the same no Christmas. They have drunk the kool aid and are in DEEP.
One of my acquaintances BRAGS that he skipped Thanksgiving and Christmas.
He thinks it shows his superior care for humanity.
And his superior intellect, of course.
“We must all lockdown until everyone is vaccinated.” — his quote
Nancy, three weeks ago I had two doctors move into the house next door to mine. One guy told me they would be eating Cheese-Whiz and crackers on Christmas day because they were on call to the hospital. Nevertheless, I invited them both to eat Christmas dinner with us and they accepted. Four people gathered around a dining room table had a great time, a great meal, and great fellowship. My wife has a compromised immune system but she also has great courage. She and I accepted the risk and neither of us has fallen prey to this pandemic. Doesn’t mean it won’t happen, just means it hasn’t happened. We just decided that fear of a disease would not overcome our desire to share Christmas dinner with those who needed some companionship. If your family is determined to let fear rule their lives, there’s nothing you can do about that except be sad for them. They’re not living, they’re simply existing, and that is no way to go through life. For now, let your friends support you and leave your family to their unhappy lives. In time, they may see the truth of it all.
Your not alone in this experience; and true, not going to be easily forgotten, forgiven maybe, well, eventually, but not forgotten.
As the President said when he first came down that golden escalator, ‘now we will find out who our real friends are’ little did we know he was speaking on behalf of an entire nation of forgotten Americans.
Steadfast. Great word.
In my lifetime, Nancy, I have never witnessed such stupidity. But we also no longer encourage people to research topics on their own. Our young ones want to see the answers on Facebook or Twitter instantly. No time to actually look up “infections, Virus’s”. It’s a sad time all the way around. Healthy people have NEVER been quarantined before. My mother is locked up in assisted Living facility. She pays recant on an apt each month, but they seem to have the ability to Lock her up! I want her last memories to be with us, not the four walls of her apt!! We all gauge risks every day. We risk driving a car, driving over a bridge, smoking, over eating, I can go on forever. A 99% or above cure rate is a great risk to me!!
Dont be angry….as a parent you must be the stronger….keep challenging their fear…tell them you know they are stronger than this ‘living in fear’ thing…use examples to make your point…
I will give you one: my son tested positive upon landing in Fairbanks…we had all been around him to see him off and for two weeks prior, along with a family friend…three of us are close or in our 60s…two being immune compromised. My son had no symptoms apart from sniffles. NONE of us got covid…the emergency room even refused to test one of us when examined for a separate issue because they too didnt believe any of us were covid infected. Ultimately, we are now nearly two weeks later and NONE of us have covid.
I firmly believe that my son was a false positive…like the austrian coke…but Alaska and the military want a two week quarantine upon arrival…what better way to enfirce that than universal positive results…
I have been a lone voice since March with my eldest….who is now finally spreading her own wings by tamping down her own learned (not from us by the way) fears…
The more my eldest does go against ‘the speak’, the less frightened she is and the stronger and more adventurous she becomes.
Dont give up…keep pushing for what you know to be the right path….
Sending hugs your way….you will never be alone..,especially within this forum.
No-Nonsense-Nancy:
I feel you because our family get-together starting from the family thanksgiving party to the 2 Christmas parties was cancelled because of one sister-in-law that has been brainwashed by watching those mainstream media.
You are not alone.
I am glad you have friends that you can count on.
I feel your pain. read my post below.
Thank you all so much. This is truly a wonderful home for me. Steadfast is the thing.
I had lunch again in they restaurant today with my friends. We net some other people mask- less. They have formed s group of people to go in stores without masks together. They have about 40 people in their group. This is how we can get our country back! God Bless us all!
HI Nancy,
So sorry you were alone at Christmas despite having family nearby! I hope that the breach caused by the many covid lies will one day heal over. We were in a similar circumstance this past Christmas, which is all so unfortunate.
Glad that you have friends who you can rely on! So many have been swept away! Unfortunately, we don’t have many who have awakened to the truth. I rely on our Lord who also knew loneliness and isolation while on Earth. “He knows our grief and carries our sorrows.”
A bar of iron costs $5. Made into horseshoes it is worth $12.Made into Needles it is worth $3500. Made into balance springs for watches it is worth $300,000.
Your own value is determined by what YOU make of Yourself.
What is it worth as a wrecking ball?
If you take it to Washington DC it’s priceless!
M??A??G??A
this is why I love you all so much ! Laughter and steadfastness !
Thx SD for my little branch.
Very sorry for the sad stories about family divisions. It is all by design compliments of the putrid Left. Praying for all.
rld rld:
I like your analogy.
Not quite. The value of something is worth what someone is willing to pay for it. Jesus was willing to “pay” for you with His very life. Therefore, you are invaluable!
If ever there was a time to be steadfast it is now. If enough of us do not stand up and fight now, then later there will be nothing left for us to fight for.
Intellect without Faith is a useless appendage.
Thank you. That was much needed this morning.
While I am surrounded with many like minded friends and family, some of my family is not on board. I fear they have drifted. Please pray for their eyes to be opened and for me to be steadfast.
Help me to be salt and light.
God bless you all.
Prayers for our nation.
CTH was attacked by the swamp because of your steadfastness. They took CTH out of game for several weeks which was their goal. Praise God you are back on line and their gambit did not work.
We are coming up on the single most important tipping point in the history of America. That is not to any way minimize WW2 or WW1 or the Korean War or the Vietnam War. But those were on foreign soil and the fight was not on our Sovereign Land. This war is so we can fight those other wars, if necessary. We are seeing how the far left liberal mindset has swamped this country. The latest is Gardner’s decision to violate the law because it is unclear whether there is any evidence of voter fraud in the Senatorial race.
McConnell, Thune, Sasse and the other RINOS are going to turn America over to the globalists. They love the money. They love the power and it does not matter their legacy. They want it now. Watch the Praeger video on green energy and the fraud it is perpetrating on America and the world. It is starkly evident that the trillions Sundance speaks of is coming from eliminating cheap energy and the profit in creating an environmentally unsafe explosion of failing solar and wind sources. Sources that will be obsolete in 20 years and create untold amounts of environmental destruction. They will run the cost of energy up 20 times higher per person while destroying America’s strength and sovereignty.
Welcome to the new world gang. Like minded Treehousers are the only ones standing in their way. Be Steadfast and stay the course. Your life and freedom depend upon it.
Let your plans be dark and impenetrable as night, and when you move, fall like a thunderbolt.
My inlaws decided to forego Christmas this year in fear of Covid. All I heard throughout Christmas day was depression from my better half. The entire family takes Fauci at his word meanwhile will sit back and talk about how Bush planned 9/11 to happen. Somehow I still don’t understand that concept. It still pisses them off to this day when I sport my Trump “Super MAGA World” t-shirt from AAFNation :).
l3thaldosage50:
My apology I have to say this but damn that demon-possessed fauci! He is one beast that PDJT should have been retired from his cabinet.
How come nobody have been pointing out that in 2017 or 2016? than demon was on video saying “a surprise disease will happen during Trump administration?” The question that needs to be asked: How did he know in advance and what did he know?
Amen!
Bravery doesn’t mean not having fear or trepidation. It’s having fear of saddling up but, saddling up and going forth anyway. Stand strong and tall, your example will help others do the same.
“Watch, stand fast in the faith, be brave, be strong.”
1 Corinthians 16:13
Thank you all.
Faith without fight, we’ll get rolled by evil. Faith and fight: cotenants in our battle to preserve. Where was God the Holocaust survivers asked.

Yes, “faith and fight” is the right phrase.
Just like crusaders of long time ago.
Numbers 10:1-2, 9 (The Scriptures 2009)
[1] And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying, [2] “Make two silver trumpets for yourself, make them of beaten work… [9] And when you go into battle in your land against the enemy that distresses you, then you shall shout with the trumpets, and you shall be remembered before יהוה your Elohim, and you shall be saved from your enemies.”
We are TRUMPets!
That’ll spend!

“Our current national challenge is to figure out a way to confront this dynamic and then deal with it. However, we must deal with it in a way that does not destroy the founding principles of our constitutional republic. There are many disappointments around us, but we must remain strong and purposeful with any chosen direction. Misplaced corrective action regardless of intent is neither prudent nor wise.”
Sundance
SD, Are you sure you weren’t a major league ballplayer, hit buy a great pitcher, and it shortened your career,
Only to make you man who lives on the shores outside Connery row, who has a eye for the future?
You are wise beyond your intellect, with uncanny resolve.
You are a mentor, of the land of the free, and the home of the brave.
Thank you, Sundance for the clarity you bring, and for your awesome wisdom, reflection, explanations and research you provide. I value you and the CTH greatly. You have opened my eyes to so much that I never knew existed and have helped me to determine actions that I can take, that are unique to me. I value you and the Treepers.
One thing that I did see, and possibly you did as well, was a tweet from Sidney Powell looking for China connections to the people currently in “public” offices. I did see a number of responses to her, but I trust you and your information and I know that you probably already have much of that.
I will make every effort to educate and share the knowledge I have gained throughout this process. I pray for you one and all.
May God Bless and keep you all, and us as well.
Amen.
Thank you.
That does it! I am going to drive my truck over 1200 miles (one way) and attend DC on Jan. 6. Going to do it for my grand kids. I feel it is my last chance to do the right thing. I am a home body, stick pretty much to myself but I am going ALL by myself. Only had a couple choices of others who might go with me, they can’t. I don’t think I could live with myself if I didn’t do my part. I have to do it for my grand kids. May God bless our GREAT President.
SkidRoe, if you want to meet for dinner later on the 6th we (husband & I) will be there as well and happy to connect for some fellowship, friendly faces and support.
Thank you so much. You are so kind. Think I will stick to myself, I expect lots of numbers and it will will not be easy to get around. I will take food and water, back pack, blankets and LOAD-UP. Will just sleep in my truck. Again thanks.
Your not only doing it for your Grandkids, your doing it for every American that shares the same values as you and their kids,kids and then their kids..
This starts about family but it’s about a whole lot more. Be proud!??????
On man is not an island. But many can make a whole country!?
My kids did not have any children so there is no grand kids for me to support other than yours and many others that have kids that have fallen for going along to get along. I’ll be in DC on the 6th. and I will whisper a prayer for all kids. I was a Physics/ Chemistry teacher and see that kids are now watching CNN in schools as part of their Homeroom activities. We need to stand and bring our country and values back. See you All in DC Jan 6th. even it we get all jammed in trying to get into the City. The traffic Jam will be noticed. By the way the weather in DC looks good in the long range forecasts. Sunny Temp in 50s day and 40s night. The Sun will come out on the 6th.
Skidroe
I feel the same so yesterday I went way outside my comfort zone and bought a plane ticket and reserved a room in DC.
I am coming from Seattle by myself . I am a 67 yr old female traveling to a city I have never been to but it’s important that we show up!
Hope to meet many of my fellow travelers while there.
Skidroe:
I understand you want to be alone but at the same time, I want you to connect with the tons of people that are attending there so that all of you will be safe there.
I am tired of reading and watching videos of American patriots being beaten, stab or killed.
Don’t forget to pray your angel’s prayer AM & before going to bed, St. Michael’s prayer, The Holy Spirit prayer and all other powerful prayers that you know of.
Also, to you and to all who are able to read this: pray the “Prayer of Command” that the respected Catholic Exorcist Priest – Chad Ripperger is encouraging EVERYONE to utter this everyday. This is a real spiritual warfare that are in the physical realm we are in right now. It is beyond Pres. Trump. The real demons have been let loose from hell and have converge on our soil right now. They have wage battle against Father GOD himself. This is a precursor to the 666 revelation in the bible. It is us, living people at this moment in history to step up, humble ourselves and and ask for mercy and help from heaven for
divine intervention.
The 2nd prayer that needs to be said EVERYDAY is the “Prayer for Deliverance of President Donald Trump from Enemies based on the psalm of David” that Bishop Rene Gracida
encourages all
faithfuls to utter.
Lastly, bring a CD of Lee Greenwold’s “GOD Bless USA.” It’s a soul stirring song.
Thank you Sundance and Godspeed.
Being steadfast means rejecting this kind of garbage from Sen. Lindsey Graham. This one statement by Graham explains everything about our current misery. The only way this breaks is if we stop drooling every time we hear them ring the bell.
“If you think this [spending] bill is bad, lose Georgia and see what happens.” That was Lindsey Graham simultaneously defending Congress’s belated $900 billion stimulus package that doles out $600 in government cheese in return for $3,000 of additional national debt burden for each American (what a bargain!) while also assuring Georgia conservatives that if voters don’t show up for Republican Senators Perdue and Loeffler on January 5, we can expect even more fantastical financial stupidity to gurgle up from the bowels of the congressional swamp in the near future. “You may not like the way we govern, but you’ll absolutely hate the other guys.”
There is no “other guys”. They are all on the same team. Same goals. Same objectives. The GOP exists only as a sleight of hand, smoke and mirrors, controlled opposition, etc.. The veto-override yesterday demonstrates this plain as day. Getting out of a toxic relationship requires you to first admit you’re in one, and next you must walk away and never look back.
The last time the Democrats held three branches of government (SCOTUS is “Government Party” too), they went clinically insane and the public revolted against them. Americans DESERVE the beating that is coming to them from Democrats for allowing all of this to happen. We get the government we deserve. Our best play isn’t trying to change that system from within. Our best play is to disobey that system, clog it up, disrupt, and otherwise make it implode. We need to target their centers of gravity for disruption, not take them head-on. Democrats will get MORE heavy-handed, not less, in the coming months.
When one of your friends says they saw something on Fox or Twitter or Facebook, you need to laugh and ask they why they still watch/use those. When somebody tries to tell you want to do with COVID compliance, you need to laugh and ask them what good has any of that done anyone and ignore them.
The GOP is dead to me.
https://noqreport.com/2020/12/28/will-georgia-shrug/
I’m with you. Better to blow the whole place up and try to start over than continue limping along losing bit by bit each day. I am totally STEADFAST. This is my RED LINE. No more voting for Repubs without getting something concrete FIRST!
Great post. I am done with the GOP too. They are the second side of the same coin with tails on both sides.
Graham’s explanation wreaks of BS. No one calls them out in real time or during a time they are in front of cameras. This statement would be easy to ask questions to expose Graham for his BS:
For example, Graham says- Lose Georgia and see what happens. Ok Linds….I’m game, what would happen and by whom? And more so, if we must pay them, do we really have them Linds? What do we get? Tell us taxpayers what our dollars are going to over there? Show me line items and results…thanks. It’s our money not yours.
His comment is purposely vague…just like an anonymous source.
And the last quote you share: “You may not like the way we govern, but you’ll absolutely hate the other guys.” Ok, LInds…I’m game again…but you are purposefully vague. Can you elaborate on these “other guys?” Because you all voted the same, minus a few brave people…so which other guys? The ones who sided with us and voted no and did not want that foreign aid or all the rest of you, including you who voted for it. Doesn’t appear there’s any difference….and your other guys are you. The other guys who voted no….well, I want how they govern, at least with this bill.
My attitude towards that last statement is GAME @#$%ing ON!
“If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.” – Rush (the band)
That last statement by him is aimed at the stupid fools who still think there’s a difference. He, Lyndsey, is either too full of himself or is just very obtuse. Maybe both. Heck, maybe he just doesn’t give a fudge because what can we the people do.
he doesn’t realize thus bill and what’s going on is opening a lot of people’s eyes. He doesn’t understand we’re not going away. We’re growing and we’re from both major parties and a few of the smaller ones.
“Lessor Evil” Voting: I understand what the President recently Tweeted about Purdue & Loeffler and he is a Stand-up Guy for doing so. However, what I have stated before on this Issue still is Logically sound. That being: when presented with two choices and both of them are Evil, no matter which one you choose, you are voting to increase the amount of Evil in the “System”. Yes, “It could be worse” may be True, but that is NOT exactly the best “Selling Point” to ever be voting FOR someone…anyone. When does anything in the “System” ever change if it is designed to essentially “pick” what you get to “pick” from?
I am 58…and have seen this kind of crap & reasoning since at least 1980. I surmise that I probably have, at best, 22 years left of truly Independent living…simply being realistic. If no one ever begins to start voting…or NOT voting… completely on Principle, then nothing will ever change in how the Republican Party operates. I want to see this in my LIFETIME! The concept of “Lessor Evil” Voting, in Practical Application, guarantees that no changes will ever take place. In place of “Evil” or “two poor choices”…simply substitute various crimes…Rape, Robbery, Aggravated Assault…etc. Is there REALLY that much of a substantive difference between the two choices that do the same things to you? Are the Degrees of difference actually meaningful?
When is it acceptable for the Individual to ever …finally…vote or not vote entirely on their own Principles/Code without being Heckled, Browbeat, Belittled by the “Mob” that remains “Pro Lessor Evil” Voting? Even though I think he a Man of zero integrity, I think Roberts said it best regarding Discrimination: The way to stop discrimination on the basis of race is to stop discriminating on the basis of race. The same holds true for “Lessor Evil” voting…as long as people continue to vote in the “System’s” poor choices…there never will be any opportunity of better choices ever offered by that “System”.
“None of the above” is still a valid choice. More Republicans need to start using it. Can you imaging a write-in campaign where “None of the above” gets 100,000 or 1,000,000 votes?
Reminds me of “Brewster’s Millions”. Yes, I can imagine. I am also waiting to be adjudicated a “Troll” by certain individuals for posting what I just did in response to you…
Ah . . . they don’t count the vote anymore, I don’t think.
Me too! and hubby! We are never going to vote for uniparty ever again!
In July, Sundance “realized that internal corrective action was unlikely to succeed because the scale of corrupt activity was not simply based on intent, but also present because the absence of morality was metastatic throughout the system.” IMO, President Trump realized this very soon after his inauguration and almost succumbed to clearing out a bunch of corruption in his best businesslike way, “You’re fired”.
I am very thankful for whichever of his advisers convinced him to put the media and corruption on display and convince the masses of the fraud in government and the media. I have marveled at his persistence in pulling the curtain back, and I’ve wondered when the carnage would start. After reading here about the safeguards our forefathers built into the Constitution, I realized that PDJT was trying to exhaust all avenues before taking the path he was charged to do in defending the Constitution and the Republic.
I view President Trump’s exhortation to visit DC on Jan. 6 as calling out the militia. I have previously written that I think it will be necessary for the militia to demand some resignations. I anxiously await the revelation of the rest of President Trump’s strategy and pray to God to save our Republic and Patriots everywhere.
Thank you Sundance for all you do.
1 Cor. 15:57-58 comes to mind:
“But thanks be to God, the One giving us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your toil in the Lord is not in vain.”
I believe that the most important thing to keep in mind is that President Trump WON this election, and he WON it big. Before spending much time in lamenting what we SHOULD have done, take some time to consider what a great feat his massive win was. Then focus on how to SAVE THE STEAL. If we simply turn our heads towards the “next” elections (better luck next time), there will NEVER again BE another fair election. THIS election is for all the marbles. Please be in DC on January 6th!
Our reps act as if the powers have ‘the goods’ on them. They all act like they’ve been sprayed ; that they can only act one way. What happens to our elected when they enter DC ? Can you explain the process ?
Thank you Sundance. We be Salt and Resolute
Tom Fitton Brilliantly Defends Rep. Gohmert in His Lawsuit Against VP Mike Pence to Resolve Election Results
Rep. Louie Gohmert on Sunday became the latest Republican to file a lawsuit attempting to restore the legitimate election victory to President Donald Trump — this time by suing Vice President Mike Pence.
The suit asks federal Judge Jeremy Kernodle, a Trump appointee in eastern Texas, to declare that Pence has the “exclusive authority and sole discretion” to decide which electoral votes from a given state should be counted.

Steadfast. Absolutely.
It’s why I say “walk away” from the GA GOP and their counterparts in DC.
Steadfast = unswerving.
I have unswerving faith in the American patriot movement and our country’s future; even with a Dem controlled Senate/WH/Congress.
Sometimes you have to lose battles to win the war. Time to purge ourselves of the GOP – forever.
If not now, then when? Walk Away Now.
Steadfast.
I am confident that a new dawn is about to break.~ A Patriot
Excellent words in a perfect post by Sundance – just when needed the most.
Thank-you.
WE are the majority, regardless of what THEY want us to think. This time, the war is on OUR soil. Others have given their all in past wars. Did we really think we would be able to escape having to risk giving OUR all for the saving of our country for the next generations? It is our turn to fight for America and to stop those who are selling out our country. God is with us. We WILL ultimately win, but complacency and regret is not going to save the day. They know that WE know that they stold the election in plain sight, yet they STILL don’t seem worried about our having that knowledge. THAT is part of the problem. They’ve forgotten that THEY are accountable to US. It’s time to remind them of that fact.
Anyone acquainted with Holy Scripture knows the final expression of evil in this world will be the worst. Satan will stand in Jerusalem and claim to be God Incarnate. Satan will offer his bogus salvation to any who will worship him. Billions will bow down to the evil one because his power to deceive is so great that, as Jesus says, even the very elect would be deceived if the time of our trial were not shortened. All of this is foretold by the Christ-man in Matthew chapter 24. As Jesus said there, what we are experiencing now is “the beginning of sorrows.”
Later on, in The Revelation, apostle John was shown the horrors of Satan’s temporal abomination and was told that those who worshipped Satan would carry the mark of his beastly kingdom in their foreheads or in their hands. Much speculation has arisen over the years about the character of that mark. It’s meaning is simple: those who think to promote and work to perpetuate things like the fraudulent lie of Joe Biden’s “victory” over Donald Trump are exhibiting the mark of the beast. The mark of the beast marks anyone who promotes and perpetuates a lie which leads God’s children astray.
I needed that post.
Thank you.
The redhead is looking straight at the storm, standing firm.
THESE ARE THE DAYS THAT TRY MEN’S AND WOMEN’S SOULS…GOD WINS
It’s wonderful to read a thread full of thoughtful comments instead of endless twitter links.
Yes. This place and a few other online platforms are all that we have anymore to hear and share the truth about government overreach and corruption. Some say CW2 is now and that we must rise up and join the fight to defend our country and the constitution. Stand with our fellow citizens to secure freedom and rule of law.
Massive fighting in the streets will most likely never happen here and working within and through the system appears not to be an option at this point in history. The one safe and very effective ammunition to beat back the leftists is the almighty dollar. Use your dollars to send a message, direct your dollars and internet clicks away from every enterprise that supports the left. If 80 million people took careful aim with their dollars by removing themselves from leftist media platforms and services, they would do serious damage. Stop doing business with enterprises that support the leftist agenda. It will in some ways be a major sacrifice and in other ways a simple change in behavior online or in your local community would make a difference, those remaining on the left will necessarily rethink their ideological position.
Yessssss yesssss yessss ! I’ll have what she’s having.
Sundance, Thank you for the sense of hope and confidence that we will move forward always and with a purpose, each to his own and bound to the larger group called Americans.
Your insight is welcome always but especially now, because I think the next couple weeks are truly going to be the darkest before the dawn. It is going to be incredibly hard to navigate and come out on the side of truth and light but we have to keep moving forward always towards that end or we end. It’s good to know this Refuge is still here and will be and your sacrifice keeping it open to all is nothing short of amazingly unselfish and generous.
We all need the knowledge that we are not alone but have to each remain strong as individuals with, as you said SD, a life unique to each of us. Thanks again for all you and those working with you do for this site and for a free America.
I posted yesterday about the anxiety I felt, when the site moved and I lost this community for about 3 days. Until the loss, I had no idea, what the real worth of CTH, was in my daily life routine. 2020 has been the best of years and worst of years, all at the same time. But one thing I know for sure is that I grew up, finally at 59. I was forced to put away childish things and cling to only what was worthwhile. I thought I had already done this soul searching years ago when I was diagnosed with stage 3 hurthle cell thyroid carcinoma in my early 50’s. But this has been a year about convictions and affirmations. I know who I am, I know what I am and I know for absolute sure, the hill I would lay my life down on. What a year. If you are not experiencing a spiritual rebirth, right now, bend the knees. It’s that simple. We are living in an “unveiled era”. Some of us are being drawn towards each other over the horror of this ‘truth period’. Evil is staring us in the eye. The insidious, godlessness, we are forced to live under and the ramifications of living by it, have civilization on the brink. I have nothing left to fear, the veil has been lifted. Satan has been defeated. Now let’s humiliate him, with steadfast faith.
A simple word, “steadfast”. Gather the discipline to live it out. The choice is yours, free to give. Thank you, Sundance and team.
You are my hero, Ma Kettle. Thank you for your good words.
Beautifully said ! God Bless you and all.
For every thing there is a time…
What time is this?
That is the right question.
Each of us must today think our deepest thoughts, query our wisest friends and books, pray our most sincere and submissive prayers… and come away with the answer to that question.
As Bogart said to Bergman in Casablanca: “If that plane leaves the ground and you’re not with him, you’ll regret it. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but soon and for the rest of your life.”
1). Networks of faith and values-based cell groups sustained millions during the Soviet & Chinese communist eras (now) and offer a model for organizing ourselves for challenges ahead, seeking & bonding with like-minded others. 2) Institutions are mostly useless to us now, perverted as they are, but if millions of us emerge from shadows for mass demonstrations we are more formidable and shake resolve of opponents who are opportunists vs. hard core Marxists. Many illicit powers have crumbled when met with mass opposition. 3) All of which is futile if God is primed to judge a nation now scorning all that is righteous, celebrating evil. May He hear our pleas for mercy and redemption. And regardless, may we offer light to those around us hell bent on destruction: inevitably, targets of evil (Joseph) are used by God to rescue even villains who unleash great suffering.
Thank you for everything! I stand ready!
The government and their masters want to beat the general public into submission so they become so depressed, so sullen, they see no way forward. To survive one needs to fight through this, it’s a constant battle but fight we must!!
1. Starving the beast may not work, when the ‘beast’ is subsidized by a foreign government–CCP. This applies to the Tech Companies, Cable and News.
2. When the ‘government’ is also subsidized in the same manner, it can afford to be disconnected from the people.
3. When 1 and 2 apply (press and government in collusion against the people), the people MUST withdraw their consent to be governed. It no longer represents them The issues in the Declaration of Independence now apply.
God bless you Sundance. Your inspiring words of wisdom always help us re-center our focus and efforts.
Thank you Sundance. You write so beautifully and because what you write is truth, it is also powerful. Stay strong, stay steadfast and continue to praise Almighty God who is in control and has not been caught off guard by what is happening in our world. Let us be of good courage and show ourselves faithful even in the darkest times.
A wonderful and inspiring article Sundance!
“[…]current national challenge is to figure out a way to confront this dynamic and then deal with it. However, we must deal with it in a way that does not destroy the founding principles of our constitutional republic.”
I’m not so worried about destroying the principles of our constitutional republic because “We the People” aren’t the ones doing it. The corrupt and immoral ruling class , and their various organs, are doing that and it needs to be stopped by whatever means available.
Joe Biden, and the political-financial-government ruling class trying to install him as president are a criminal conspiracy engaged in widespread election and voter fraud, and this is just the tip of the iceberg, and it permeates from the federal to local governments. If Joe Biden becomes president, all the criminals get rewarded and will fear nothing. I have know doubt he’ll pardon everyone in his immediate criminal family. Others will offer indulgences.
The constitutional republic has been destroyed and it’s out job to restore it. There will be no relief from a corrupt judiciary, or the professional political class. They don’t care a wit about us and they aren’t going to police themselves.
A constitutional republic cannot exist as long as the government is populated by immoral people.
I have said a few times on this site, and I’ll say it again: the people ruining the country are small in number compared to the MAGA Army. We the People can fix this country in a few months by arresting the top few thousand of the corrupt ruling class, and remove their hands from the levers of power. I would prefer a leader like President Trump to make the case, but if he can not, then we need to take charge,
We have a legal right to enforce the laws of the land, and such an action doesn’t have to be a bloody affair unless they want it that way. The US constitutional isn’t a suicide pact and that’s why there’s a second amendment. I don’t want to hear about due process until the republic is secure. They set up a two-tier justice system to benefit themselves, so I have no qualms about setting up different standards to take these criminals down in the short term. Trials can wait once the dust settles and priorities, like free and honest elections, fiscal responsibility, et cetera, are restored.
Remember, Joe Biden and the people behind him are criminals, engaged in massive election fraud to cover up their crimes, and the crimes and corruption of the ruling class.
THEY ARE CRIMINALS. REPEAT! THEY ARE CRIMINALS!
IT IS OUR LAWFULL DUTY TO REMOVE THEM AND LOCK THEM UP!
My favorite sign I saw in a photo :
“The French aristocracy didn’t see it coming either.”
Thank you for your statement.
Good words for hanging in there, keep on truckin’, persevere, etc. Thanks Sundance.
Years ago, I first took in the beauty of this hymn, and like anything of beauty, you treasure it in your soul. And part of treasuring is waiting for the best circumstance to share…
May this treasure dwell in you richly; as the words of Ephesians 6 still proclaim as relevant as they were 2000 or so years ago.
13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.

My worth is not in what I own
Not in the strength of flesh and bone
But in the costly wounds of love
At the cross
My worth is not in skill or name
In win or lose, in pride or shame
But in the blood of Christ that flowed
At the cross
Refrain:
I rejoice in my Redeemer
Greatest Treasure,
Wellspring of my soul
I will trust in Him, no other.
My soul is satisfied in Him alone.
As summer flowers we fade and die
Fame, youth and beauty hurry by
But life eternal calls to us
At the cross
I will not boast in wealth or might
Or human wisdom’s fleeting light
But I will boast in knowing Christ
At the cross
Refrain
Two wonders here that I confess.
My worth and my unworthiness
My value fixed – my ransom paid
At the cross
Refrain
Song Story:
Lyricists are always on the lookout for a big idea, a concept or phrase that might just have a song hidden inside it. Like the sculptor running their fingers over a rough block of marble and laying out their tools, or a potter feeling the weight and texture of a fresh lump of wet clay, the imagination has to see something that doesn’t yet exist.
Some years ago I was struck by the simple phrase ‘My worth is not in what I own’ and sensed a ‘big idea’ in waiting.
It is a theme I have explored before in songs, in fact one of my earliest performance songs is called ‘How much do you think you are worth’, but here it came again and I saw a congregational song in potential.
I made several attempts over several years to let loose that big idea, but during a writing session with Keith and Kristyn Getty I bounced my seed idea off them and the process began. The song went through numerous drafts and redrafts, but eventually it settled. From the first occasion it was sung it was clear that the theme resonated powerfully as people began to join in.
We know that our culture calibrates human worth by measures of wealth and status, skills and achievement, beauty and youth, power and so on, but we don’t always appreciate how deeply those values are ingrained into us and how effective they are in driving our behaviour. Christians are little different. We need to sing about our worth from God’s perspective, not ours or our cultures, and God’s perspective centres in on the cross.
John Stott wrote; ‘Our self is a complex entity of good and evil, glory and shame, of creation and fall…we are created, fallen and redeemed, then re-created in God’s image’ ….. ‘Standing before the cross we see simultaneously our worth and unworthiness, since we perceive both the greatness of his love in dying, and the greatness of our sin in causing him to die’ [The Cross p. 285]
William Temple wrote: ‘My worth is what I am worth to God, and that is a marvellous great deal, for Christ died for me’
It has been a pleasure working together with the Gettys to bring this song from concept to reality and we hope that it will help many to sing themselves free from all that steals away the joy of being loved by God.”

Rasmussen Reports/tweets. 12/28/2020
“Come January 6, 2021, Vice President Mike Pence will be presented with the sealed certificates containing the ballots of the Presidential electors. At that moment the Presidency will be in his hands. There is nothing stopping Pence, under the (plenary and unappealable) authority vested in him as President of the Senate, from declining to open and count the certificates from the six disputed states.
If they are (as more than 70% of Republicans believe) certificates from non-electors appointed via voter fraud, why should he open and count them? If the votes of all 7 contested states are registered as zero, President Trump will have 232 votes, Joe Biden will have 222.
Per the 12th Amendment, the votes shall then be counted. The person having the greatest number of votes for President shall be President.
PS Thomas Jefferson…among the most revered founding fathers of our country, only became President because he used his unilateral power as President of the Senate to open and count the presidential ballots in his own favor. Trump’s gonna win. “
