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 †

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (KY3) -The owner of dozens of Mexican restaurants in several states, along with the company’s president, CFO, controller and sales manager are among 19 defendants charged in a federal racketeering conspiracy to hire undocumented workers.
Also among those charged are eight current or former managers of restaurants located in Butler, Springfield, Lebanon, West Plains, Willow Springs and St. Robert in Missouri; and in Overland Park, Great Bend and Augustus in Kansas.
Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) agents, with the assistance of numerous local, states, and federal agencies, executed a series of search warrants today at 10 locations in Missouri, Kansas and Oklahoma. Federal agents have so far arrested 14 of the 19 defendants.
The federal indictment alleges that 17 of the 19 co-defendants were part of an organized criminal enterprise from July 2003 to Aug. 10, 2021, that smuggled Mexican, Guatemalan, and El Salvadoran nationals who were not authorized to live or work in the United States. Conspirators allegedly harbored them in Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas and Oklahoma. Bravo, Doll, Tarin-Martinez and Jose Razo created a network of restaurants operating as LLCs in states throughout the Midwest. Bravo and his co-conspirators allegedly supplied these restaurants with undocumented workers to staff positions at the restaurants. According to the indictment, conspirators did not pay the appropriate state and federal payroll taxes, overtime wages, and worker’s compensation for the unauthorized employees.
In addition to smuggling and harboring undocumented workers, the indictment alleges the racketeering activity included fraud (in connection with identification documents), fraud and misuse of visas and other documents, and money laundering. Members and associates of the criminal enterprise shielded unauthorized employees from detection by immigration authorities by eliminating records of their employment, paying them by personal check and in cash, failing to maintain complete and accurate Forms I-9 and required wage and hour reports for these employees, assisting them with the acquisition of false identification documents (such as Social Security numbers and alien resident documents), and making false statements to immigration authorities and law enforcement officials.

Thanks for posting this.
Am pretty sure the law that allows for this prosecution of business owners hiring undocumented workers was first put in place in Bill Clinton’s Administration; remembering this because around that time the local casinos in northern Nevada were under scrutiny for hiring not only undocumented from Mexico and south, but also the high influx of Filipinos that were being hired as housekeepers that were undocumented.
Remembering thinking the enforcement of going after employers hiring illegals was dropped during the Obama years.
Nah..this story doesn’t pass the smell test. With 100,000 illegals pouring over our borders each month, you can’t swing
a cat over ya head without hitting a dozen of them. Multiple agencies involved? Maybe they were non-cartel, independents or maybe someone didn’t get an envelope and they’re sending a message.
Multi-agency crackdown on illegals with false documents…lol
That’s a good one.

Anti-parasite drug used on Arkansas jail’s inmates for COVID
Published: Aug. 25, 2021 at 4:34 PM CDT|Updated: 6 hours ago
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) – Inmates at a northwest Arkansas jail have been prescribed ivermectin to combat COVID-19, despite warnings from federal health officials that the antiparasitic drug should not be used to treat the coronavirus.
Washington County’s sheriff confirmed Tuesday night that the jail’s health provider had been prescribing the drug, but did not say how many inmates have been given the drug.
Ivermectin has been used on both people and animals for some parasitic worms and for head lice and skin conditions.
But the FDA has not approved its use in treating or preventing COVID-19 in humans.

Hope this is true and more docs follow suit. Doctors can legally prescribe off label uses for approved meds as long as they don’t exceed max dose recommendations or where contraindicated.

Well that didn’t take long…
Anti-parasite drug’s use at Arkansas jail sparks probe
By Associated Press
Published: Aug. 26, 2021 at 1:37 PM CDT|Updated: 5 hours ago
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) – The Arkansas Medical Board has opened an investigation following reports that inmates at a county jail were prescribed an anti-parasitic drug to combat COVID-19 even though it hasn’t been approved to treat the coronavirus.
Board Director Amy Embry on Thursday declined to elaborate on the investigation, which she said began in the last two days. Washington County’s sheriff confirmed Tuesday night that inmates were prescribed ivermectin, but did not say how many.
The Food and Drug Administration has not approved its use in treating or preventing COVID-19. The jail’s physician has said no inmates were forced to take the drug.

Notify the Arkansas Medical Board that Ivermectin has been saving lives worldwide and if they obstruct access, they are complicit in murder
AND despite all their credentials, henceforth they will be seem merely as greedy uncaring quacks

Bobbi Gentry’s “Ode To Billie Joe” claimed the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100. The record would also become an international hit and later win three Grammy Awards. In 1976 the song was adapted into a motion picture which showed Billie Joe and his girlfriend throwing a rag doll off the Tallahatchie Bridge, although Bobbie Gentry has never revealed what she had in mind when she wrote the song.

Jeannie C. Riley’s “Harper Valley P.T.A.” is certified Gold. The single eventually sold over six million copies, making Riley the first woman ever to top the US Pop and Country singles charts with the same song.

A New York quartet called Looking Glass had the number one tune in the US with “Brandy”. Despite the success of the song, the band could muster only one more chart entry, “Jimmy Loves Mary-Anne”, a #33 hit the following year.
One of the best of all time…not quite the vision I had of the lead singer.

In the last year, I have taken a keen interest in survival skills and being independent of the current world. This guy I just found is pretty amazing. My take is this, if you mange to become happy by having nothing, well in this case, this guy has sheep and lives a pretty spartan life then I’d say you are already wealthy.
NATIONAL CHERRY POPSICLE DAY
Each summer on the 26th of August, Popsicle lovers across the United States enjoy celebrating National Cherry Popsicle Day.
An 11-year-old Frank Epperson inspired the creation when he invented the original Popsicle back in 1905. After mixing up a powdered soda, he left the beverage overnight with the stirring stick in it. Temperatures dropped unusually low that night and the next morning, Epperson found the liquid frozen on the stick. He dubbed the creation the Epsicle.
It wasn’t until years later, in 1922 during a fireman’s ball, that he introduced his frosty treat. With the Popsicle’s huge success, Epperson proceeded to make and sell his frozen sweetness at an amusement park in Alameda, California. By 1924, Epperson applied for a patent by that name, too. Sometime later, he changed the name to Popsicle.
Happy Cursday, Treepers.
Just now I stopped and spent a little time thinking about Sweetie, our much loved border collie. I’ve talked about how she found me and how our bond was instantaneous. Honestly I felt like I’d known this dog my whole life. I’ve always had a connection with dogs. Supposedly “bad’ dogs would always come right up to me for a pat . . . I’ve never been bitten or even been threatened by a dog. I think they just know that I love them. Sweetie had gray plastic pound tags on her. I thought for a moment—not more than that, honest—about taking her back to the pound. But then I decided she’d escaped or, even better, some kind pound employee had sneaked her out the back door so she wouldn’t be euthanized. Sometimes you get the dog and, then, sometimes the dog gets you. In this case it was both. She was with us for a happy 8 years. RIP Sweetie.

None of this comes as any great surprise. The competent— i.e., non-government connected, epidemiologists like Dr. Scott Atlas—have been talking about this for quite some time. Obviously, Covid “mitigation” has become politicized and is being used (mask wearing mandates for instance) by progressives to maintain authoritarian levels of social control. The question that now remains is how much does America’s body politic take before there is a mass movement aimed at restoring liberty and freedom? Americans still believe in Liberty and Freedom. The clock is ticking.
MAGA is on the move at the local / state entities level like a great, dark undertow hiding just off the beach…… that rip current will pull down the commie coup that took over the federal government …… because..
The MAGAs have the numerical, economic, moral, intellect and armed majorities.
There is no doubt that we have got a fight on our hands but it is a fight that is winnable.
And we have got the best, patriotic, American leader President Trump … who, by the way, won 2020 in a landslide.

Do not comply. Who cares. Pound sand. F them. Stop being sheep. Enough is enough. Wake up!
And laugh the whole time doing all the above! For God’s sake, we need to laugh while throwing sand!
This was pretty cool! Never mind the weird language speaking stuff in the first few seconds in.

Are you referring to the humans or the simian?
Surprised to see so many American Classic Muscle cars in this event in Vantaa Cruising Finland. Who would have thought there was this kind of passion outside of America for American made classic cars. I know about Harley Davidsons but American Muscle cars on this caliber level seems out in left field for me. I need to get out more! Lol! This was cool to watch nevertheless!
It isn’t just the muscle cars, it’s the 50’s-60’s American culture that is extremely popular, especially in Scandinavian countries. We are huge fans of rock a billy music and were surprised at how many bands come from these countries. Check out Harry Fontana (from Finland)and the Tennessee Tone Boys playing the honky tonks in Nashville.
Many from Scandanavia (musicians and fans) come every year to The Nashville Boogie. Everything is 50’s Americana. The music,outfits and cars are all a blast from the past.
Very cool.
People in other countries pay huge $$ for American iron. You’d be surprised as to how much is being shipped out of the U.S.A.

ARE YOU EVER DISTURBED?
“Peace I leave with you, My peace I give unto you.” John xiv. 27
There are times when our peace is based upon ignorance, but when we awaken to the facts of life, inner peace is impossible unless it is received from Jesus. When Our Lord speaks peace, He makes peace, His words are ever “spirit and life.” Have I ever received what Jesus speaks? “MY PEACE I GIVE UNTO YOU” – it is a peace which comes from looking into His face and realizing His undisturbedness.
Are you painfully disturbed just now, distracted by the waves and billows of God’s providential permission, and having, as it were, turned over the boulders of your belief, are you still finding no well of peace or joy or comfort; is all barren? Then look up and receive the undisturbedness of the Lord Jesus. Reflected peace is the proof that you are right with God because you are at liberty to turn your mind to Him. If you are not right with God, you can never turn your mind anywhere but on yourself. If you allow anything to hide the face of Jesus Christ from you, you are either disturbed or you have a false security.
Are you looking unto Jesus now, in the immediate matter that is pressing and receiving from Him peace? If so, He will be a gracious benediction of peace in and through you. But if you try to worry it out, you obliterate Him and deserve all you get. We get disturbed because we have not been considering Him. When one confers with Jesus Christ the perplexity goes, because He has no perplexity, and our only concern is to abide in Him. Lay it all out before Him and in the face of difficulty, bereavement and sorrow, hear Him say, “Let not your heart be troubled.”

Breaking news from Gateway Pundit. Massive explosion outside Kabul Airport. Looks like suicide bombing attack . 4 Marines killed, according to various sources. Reports of gates near evacuation points welded shut.
ground report:
so today, in advance of another statewide indoor mask mandate at 10a (did the virus sleep in??),
went to the grocery store at 8a to avoid masking. place was crowded.
did self check, and the nice lady attendant said “gee you’re early today!”
that was all i needed.
“well” i said, “came early to avoid the mask mandate”.
“oh”, the older, unmasked lady behind me said, “pritzger’s doing that AGAIN?”
“yes, at 10a.”
“the county?”
“no, the whole state, all indoors”.
“oh no! my DIL is a nurse – she says masks don’t work.”
gave my profession and said “she’s right. and every one who was trained when medicine was still medicine knows it. you would need a full rebreather (closed system) to prevent viral transmission. this is the first time i’ve said anything about it in a public place, but i’ve had it with this!!”
customer lady says “well, DIL says all the nurses in her hospital know masks don’t work, too, and she’s saying the same thing you are”.
“yes”, i said, “it’s true. it’s like trying to stop a flood with cheesecloth. and do you really want to live the rest of your life with a mask on?” (at this point i’m getting louder?)
lady replies “you know, this has been around a lot longer than they tell us it has been – like the end of 2019!”
i agreed and told her i had a pretty severe case in 2-20.
we were just about to get to the vax, but the line was getting longer than i could hold up in good conscience.
“God bless you” she said.
“God bless you back” i said.
oddly enough, not one “ahem” or pointed stare from anybody in line – all quiet. and this is a navy blue state.
takeaways: info is getting out there somehow.
glad i spoke up.
not everyone in line might have initially agreed, but they sure were listening!
one person at a time, folks, one person at a time….
A spontaneous and calm conversation is fruitful.
It is even better to be in a public place like this.
Thank you.
Hello, Treepers.
I am in need of advice. This morning, I discovered that my employer is now requiring that all employees report their ‘vaccination’ status – deadline of September 3rd. They are not, as of yet, requiring the jab, but I am alarmed that they are demanding information that I do not believe they legally have the right to know.
I suspect they will use this information against employees who do not get the jab, particularly since, in one breath, they promise to keep the information confidential and in the next, strongly imply that they will give this information to client companies who wish to know their contractors’ ‘vaccination status’.
I took a look at America’s Frontline Doctors’ Legal Eagle Dream Team, but their contact form assumes that you are already looking down the barrel of a ‘vaccine’ mandate, not this slippery slope that my company appears to have adopted.
Is there someone who could point me in the right direction for legal options on this mandatory ‘vaccine status’ reporting? I would greatly appreciate any/all advice from the wealth of knowledge in the Treehouse.
Here is one that might be helpful.
Liberty Counsel has been written about on another thread a few times.

BE MY VOICE
PRAYING ON THE ARMOR OF GOD
Father God, I now follow your command to put on the full armor of God, because my battle is not against flesh and blood but against rulers, authorities, the powers of this dark world and against spiritual forces of evil in the unseen world.
I first pray on the Belt of Truth that it may be buckled around my waist, may I be centered and encircled by your truth dear Lord. Hem me inside all that is true and right, and may I be protected and held up by the truth of your living word, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Breastplate of righteousness, please protect my vital organs and my inner man, cover my integrity, my spirit, and my soul. Guard my heart for it is the wellspring of life, please strengthen and guard the most vulnerable places in my life with that which is right, good, and noble that I might not receive a fatal blow from the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Gospel Shoes of Peace. I choose to stand in the shoes of your good news, and on the firm foundation of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the solid eternal rock. All other ground is sinking sand, I pray that I will not slip or fall, but that my feet would be firmly fitted on your lordship, my Lord Jesus. I choose to stand on you, so that the peace of God, which transcends all understanding will guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus, the eternal Rock of Ages. I receive your holy peace now my Lord, from the sole of my feet to the crown of my head, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray the Shield of Faith into my hand now. As I take up the shield of faith, I ask that you might extinguish every dart and arrow, that is launched from the enemy to take me down spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally, and every attempt of the enemy to destroy my joy. I ask that my faith in you would make it flame out. Extinguish every flaming arrow that would come against me, my life, my family, my home, or my ministry. May my faith always be out in front of me like a shield. Give me the courage to “faith my fears” by choosing to walk by faith and not by sight, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Helmet of Salvation, that you might protect my mind from the thoughts that can lead me astray. I choose to take every thought captive, and arrest all intentioned ideas and motives that would harm others, or distract me from your holy will for me. I submit every captured thought to the Lordship of my Lord Jesus Christ, and ask that you would imprison those thoughts that are not of you my Lord. Transform my mind and renew my thinking that I may think God thoughts, and have a sober mind that is focused on your glory. Please protect me from being double minded that I may allow my mind, I reject to live an earthly life, because I choose to live a holy one, governed by you My Lord Jesus, the prince of peace, please have my mind to be saturated with the holy mind of Christ, in my Lord Jesus name.
Finally, I take up the Sword of the Spirit which is the holy word of God, I pray this powerful offensive weapon into my hand, and ask that your holy word would be fitting for every encounter I face. As the enemy gets close to me, please give me the insight, wisdom, and skill to wield the word of God to drive away the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
May the enemy and his team flee from me, upon hearing the word of God spoken by the power and direction of the Holy Spirit. Give me the sword of the spirit to cut through the wiles of the devil, so that I may discern the schemes of the enemy when he is near.
With all kinds of prayers, supplication, and intercession I pray to you my Lord God as the one who fights my battles. Now that I’m in your holy powerful armor, I walk away covered and ready to face my day as you go before me, and please protect me in the midst of the spiritual warfare in this unseen world, in my Lord Jesus name.
Thank you my Lord, for the spiritual weapons of armor and prayer that you have given me. It is written no weapon formed against me shall prosper, and you will refute every tongue that accuses me.
Thank you Father God, my Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit, that I am more than a conqueror in my Lord Jesus. I pray all of this in the mighty name of my Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ, amen.

gnorance! For hours the “News” said “12 service members killed plus a Navy medic”. This as if a Navy corpsman is not a service member! Reality. As per tradition the Navy provides the Medical coverage for the Marines on the ground. They are called Corpsmen NOT medics! On Iwo Jima there were more medals of honor earned by Navy Corpsmen than by the Marines they were providing medical coverage for.
The navy Corpsmen that serve on submarines are the ONLY medics in the Armed forces that have the same level of medical training as Special Forces medics except for a few Air Force Pararescue.
