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 †

Note. The writer of Jude was not an apostle. He was the brother of James, the Lord’s half-brother, and himself also the Lord’s half-brother.
Neither half-brother of Jesus was one of the Twelve apostles.
(In Mark 6:3 “Judas” is this same Jude, the writer of Jude, the Lord’s half-brother).
Some readers might not be aware of or realize certain matters.
Saint Joseph the Betrothed was an elderly widower and father of several children (sons and daughters) when he became the guardian of the Ever-Virgin Mary, the Theotokos.
If you read your bible and count Scripture as God’s Word written, you then have a problem the “ever virgin” argument. In Matthew 1 it says, “18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was as follows: After His mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, _before they came together_, she was found with child of the Holy Spirit. [note the assumption, it was expected for them to come together to consummate the marriage.
Then in “24 Then Joseph, being aroused from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord commanded him and took to him his wife, 25 and _did not know her till_ she had brought forth her firstborn Son. [the marriage was consummated after Jesus was born as required by Jewish law and in this obvious biblical statement. It does not say “did not know her at all or never”].
There are three Apostles named James.
James the son of Zebedee, of the Peter James and John trio. Brother to that John.
James the son of Alphaeus, who with the three mentioned above was part of the original twelve disciples.
And James the Brother of Jesus.
The Gospels often put some distance between Jesus and his family, even calling out James his brother by name. None of his family appear among his close followers during Jesus’ ministry. But at the start of Acts, Jesus’ brothers are with the group praying. (Acts 1:14)
Paul tells us that James was a witness to the Resurrected Jesus. (1 Cor 15:7) I don’t see him sorting out which James, but many claim it was Jesus’ brother.
He also claims the only apostles he met early after his conversion were Peter and James. (Gal 1:18-19) Here he clearly identifies the Lord’s Brother as an apostle. But like in the beginning of Acts where Peter was the leader, Peter was the reason for his visit.
The Brother of John is martyred in Acts right before Peter is freed from prison and has to flee. This event is used in Acts to transition the story from Peter to Paul. But after this point, Acts makes it look like James Jesus’ Brother is the decider, not Peter, who had the vision of taking the gospel to the Gentiles, when Paul had to defend himself for doing so without circumcising converts.
Paul complains about Peter in Gal 2:11-14. James was sending people to Antioch and Peter who was there withdrew from eating with Gentiles. So at that time, James may have had more authority in Jerusalem then Peter. It is possible that this split is why James appears as the decider. But Peter may have lost his leadership role when he had to flee. And this very issue (circumcision) was what drove Paul to Rome for trial. (false accusations started a riot)
Josephus, who took part in the rebellion that got the temple destroyed wrote that James the Brother of Jesus was considered a prophet and that he was killed in Jerusalem in the years before the uprising. (not scriptural, written after Jerusalem fell, but was a contemporary.)
And many later Church writers claimed James was the Bishop of Jerusalem.
It is all sort of mixed up and unclear. If you search on this, there are many extrapolations of these tidbits into things that just aren’t so. I have read books that claim Paul invented Christianity. Another claims James was the Christ. Lots of strange things.
There is a game that plays with authorship and time of authorship of the New Testament to tell many different stories. Throw in some external sources, and a heavy dose of antagonism against some form of Christianity and off they go.
I agree with most of what you wrote except that Paul does not identify James as an apostle in Galatians 1. He met with Peter, no other apostles, and James, the Lord’s brother. Acts identifies the apostles as “the Eleven” even after Matthias was chosen, not by Jesus immediately (without the involvement of the church), but by lot among the disciples, about 120, before Pentecost. Paul, on the other hand was chosen by Jesus to be his apostle, which was confirmed by miracles and signs, as well as acceptance by the rest of the church. James as “decider” is a stretch. His followers upset the church in Antioch by insisting on following Jewish customs, and the matter was not resolved until the apostolic council in Jerusalem, where Peter, almost word for word, proclaimed the same thing Paul had said to him in Antioch. James acquiesced, and that made everyone glad that the mater had been settled. James, according to later historical accounts, was a pious leader of the Jerusalem church and died a martyr when he refused to deny Christ. Josephus even suggests that it was the killing of James that brought on the destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans.
Of note also is the fact that no early Christian writers quote the book of James. When Eusebius discussed the canon of the New Testament, he labeled the epistle of James one of the disputed books. So how should we regard it? While it is a good book probably by a heroic confessor and leader of the early church, any interpretation of this writing must be subject to the certain apostolic writings. James is not allowed to disagree with Paul. When he speaks of justification by works, this cannot be “before God.” Romans 4:2. Either he is talking about justifying yourself before men, or he is wrong. How important is it that we are justified by our works before one another? Jesus did say, “All men will know that you are my disciples if you love one another.” On the other hand, there are warnings about faking it to look good before men. Follow the scriptural middle road between using grace as an excuse for depravity, and self-righteousness before men as if that counts before God.
Many in early church history, even stalwart reformers, also thought The Revelation didn’t belong in the canon of Scripture.
They both do. ✝️
If not by grace through faith alone? This bag of bones ain’t gettin home. ✝️

Morning, dear bro!
Good pm!

Half Empty focuses on what isn’t – what one wishes was.
Half Full focuses on what is, but acknowledgess what isn’t as it’s equal.
Since what is exists and what isn’t doesn’t, there is only what is.
All cups therefore, are always full.
While you’re contemplating half full/half empty, I’ll come along and just drink it all up. Debate settled 😂
Ha ☺ !

IN THE CROSS OF CHRIST I GLORY
If therefore there is any exhortation in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any tender mercies and compassion, make my joy full by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind; doing nothing through rivalry or through conceit, but in humility, each counting others better than himself; each of you not just looking to his own things, but each of you also to the things of others.
Have this in your mind, which was also in Christ Jesus, who, existing in the form of God, didn’t consider equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself, becoming obedient to the point of death, yes, the death of the cross.
Therefore God also highly exalted him, and gave to him the name which is above every name, 1that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, those on earth, and those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Home. As promised I did not have to do the last iteration. Last night Vandalia had no empty trailers and not loads going to the Anderson terminal so I bobtailed home. As I pass within 1/2 mile of my house on the way to the terminal I decided not to go to the terminal at all and brought the big truck home.
After months of hard driving it is in need of a good cleaning inside and this is the place to do that. So after I am sure that I will not be called today, I will get to work on it even though it is a bit cold outside.
Ahhhh. A nice clean rig! Priceless. My your roads be dry for the next few days!

ON THIS DAY in MISSIONARY HISTORY– March 10, 1747
Slave trader, John Newton, surrendered to Christ in the midst of a storm at sea. He went on to become an Abolitionist and a Minister of the Gospel, writing one of the world’s most beloved Hymns: “Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me! I once was lost, but now I am found; was blind, but now I see.”
Yes!
But!
Though that great day in his life DID change his moral trajectory, he did not look back and consider it his personal day of salvation.
I love me some Newton. Incidentally, I shared this with GrandpaM a few days ago. It’s a great short biographical sketch of Newton.
Please see or read:
https://www.desiringgod.org/messages/john-newton-the-tough-roots-of-his-habitual-tenderness
Good morning, Frank. 💓 Will certainly read. Thank you. Always, BNM
Good morning Betsy, it sure is worth the time. 🙂
Good morning, G💓 I first learned of him when I was across the pond. I’m glad to have the opportunity off to refresh my knowledge.
Hi sis. I’m glad you’re interested. 🎚
To both you, Frank, and GrandpaM…
I am astounded, but really shouldn’t be, that the John Piper piece you linked to, Frank, should come on the same day that Flyover below posted Dr Spurgeon, who addresses the latter part of the wonderful dissertation on John Newton, though I doubt Flyover realized how apposite his post was in relation to yours.
The idea of chastisement being instruction by God for our spiritual growth has been, as I said to Flyover, specifically on my mind over the past two days. Remarkable, one might say. I say otherwise.
The freeing of Newton, by a man who knew his father, from his horrible near enslavement on the islands near Sierra Leone struck me strongly as God’s extended Hand to him, a sort of “Come to Me all you who are heavy laden, and I will refresh you” moment…which Reverend Newton (as he said himself until the end of his life of service) could only marvel at. Again, coincidence? And again I say, I think not.
Thank you for this beautifully written discussion of a man who was truly lost and most wonderfully saved. He does work in mysterious ways.💓
Also, what a remarkable age he lived to, given that he lived when he did. Astounding really..
And the remarkable transformation into such a tender heart could be accomplished only by God.
Amen brother
Oh yes…that especially💓

FOR IDAHO RESIDENTS
Excerpt from yesterday’s blast email from Idaho State Rep Heather Scott. Get on her mailing list if you’re not already. There’s a LOT more in the full email than this tiny excerpt.
Dear Fellow Idahoans:
We are now entering our 9th week of the 2022 Idaho legislative session and I would love to tell you Idaho is just fine and that unlike most of the rest of the country, we are standing up against the evils of socialism and the Great Reset, but that wouldn’t be true.
When it comes to protecting your liberties and freedoms, Idaho continues to be a follower rather than a leader. I believe this is due to poor leadership in the House, Senate and Executive branch and to legislators who are more afraid of leadership and the executive branch than the citizens. They either don’t care or are willfully trying to destroy our red state. The majority of politicians in Idaho are heavily influenced by lobby money and vote and act like progressives or globalists.
If you, the voter and citizen do not wake up soon, I believe Idaho will soon be lost to a mediocre purple state, or worse, a blue socialist state. Big PHARMA, the Democratic Party, and big insurance companies are pumping tens of thousands of dollars into our state to change the outcome of our May election. That money is lining the pockets of many Republican campaigns in our state. And with the confusion over the new legislative districts, mockingly delivered to us by the “bipartisan” redistricting committee and rubber stamped by a masked Supreme Court, it’s no wonder real conservative voters will have a hard time getting good information on candidates.
Red states are for some reason seemingly enabling redistricting. North Carolina and I believe Mississippi have already lost challenges in the courts on this issue on the R side. I’m unsure if Missouri’s attempts have reached the courts, but its happening there as well. This was always going to be a tool for shifting such states leftward, and it seems so far to be working. Not good at all and perplexing to say the least.
March 10 Oswald Chambers
Being an Example of His Message
Preach the word! —2 Timothy 4:2
We are not saved only to be instruments for God, but to be His sons and daughters. He does not turn us into spiritual agents but into spiritual messengers, and the message must be a part of us. The Son of God was His own message— “The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life” (John 6:63). As His disciples, our lives must be a holy example of the reality of our message. Even the natural heart of the unsaved will serve if called upon to do so, but it takes a heart broken by conviction of sin, baptized by the Holy Spirit, and crushed into submission to God’s purpose to make a person’s life a holy example of God’s message.
There is a difference between giving a testimony and preaching. A preacher is someone who has received the call of God and is determined to use all his energy to proclaim God’s truth. God takes us beyond our own aspirations and ideas for our lives, and molds and shapes us for His purpose, just as He worked in the disciples’ lives after Pentecost. The purpose of Pentecost was not to teach the disciples something, but to make them the incarnation of what they preached so that they would literally become God’s message in the flesh. “…you shall be witnesses to Me…” (Acts 1:8).
Allow God to have complete liberty in your life when you speak. Before God’s message can liberate other people, His liberation must first be real in you. Gather your material carefully, and then allow God to “set your words on fire” for His glory.
WISDOM FROM OSWALD CHAMBERS
We are not fundamentally free; external circumstances are not in our hands, they are in God’s hands, the one thing in which we are free is in our personal relationship to God. We are not responsible for the circumstances we are in, but we are responsible for the way we allow those circumstances to affect us; we can either allow them to get on top of us, or we can allow them to transform us into what God wants us to be.
Good morning, Cat💓 As always, simple straightforward Chambers says what I’ve been thinking for a long time about what we face today. Is God calling us back to Himself? I can’t answer that, but I’ve often wondered.
Good Morning Betsy.
I think god is always calling us. Whether we pick on the phone is another discussion. 🤷♀️
Hey bet your day will be better than mine. You know about double vision don’t you? Well I get to pick up my trifocals today. Lucky me NOT 😂
Be thinking of you today with a 😊 ❤️
Oh bless, Cat,💓 My sight is not perfect. But I know from those who have bifocals that it takes time to get used to them. Trifocals?? I pray it won’t take long for you to adjust🙏 and that your world will be made better for them. Godspeed, my dear friend💓
Your good thoughts must’ve worked overtime. perfect adjustment period since first placed on my nose. Awesome vision I feel like Garrison when he relocated his glasses earlier. 😛
😁!!! Superb!!! Rejoicing!

Glory to God.
Good pm! Glory to God, indeed!
Does anyone know why “they” want them released? What is the purpose?
The supposed purpose of doing that is to release sterile mosquitoes so they breed with the wild ones and reduce the amount of viable eggs deposited. Unless Fauxci got his grubby little hands on the GMO process. 30 years ago I ‘d have told you it’s a great idea, nowadays not so much. Pray we don’t end up with some super vector disease spreader.
From the mind of a great veterinarian brother. 🎚
This sounded like a good idea…at first. But shortly thereafter…and I mean seconds later…I became extremely bothered by it. This news first appeared before the wretched covid and vax abomination. I can’t see any good coming from messing about with God’s creations…insect or human, given the utter evil that is so apparent now in Satan’s laboratories all seemingly run by his disciples.
I agree betsy!
Funded by the Gates’s by the way. This way disaster lies. I am more than extremely uneasy about this. If there is a Gates involved, nothing good can come from it, and that’s just a fact.
Thank you GM!
To Leenie,
I read your previous post far to late to reply.
My reply :
In regards to the “ledge” I don’t think there is an honest informed person alive that hasn’t thought of at least going mad or jumping !
I worked today and was thinking about your post.
So here is my reply.
My life is a horror story that really is unreapetable here, although I done next to nothing wrong.
I did however have a few that taught taught me as a pup the foundations of how to figure out shit from clay.
Mostly Veteran’s from both world wars and later as a teenager Vietnam.
I also indurered the hell of the peodophile institutions before pubity.
They never ‘sexualy ‘ abused me as the ‘vets’ taught me ‘mind’ strength, in the sense that I was able to reject, many kids couldn’t and I still remember their crys to this day.
My punishment in a variety of ways nowdays “torture” back then in even the school letters it was called “corporal punishment”, they went much further than that !
Some here might not like my truth, to them I say ‘stiff shit’.
These institutions were all Catholic.
I never have and never will walk into a church of any denomination again.
Such is life.
Now here’s the interesting point, I believe in God !
Not so much in the context that many here do but in the fact I do, don’t matter much to me what other people think in this regard.
I was inadvertently taught to think.
One of the childhood conditionings I was forced to endure was constantly being called “stupid”, that one thing in itself endevered me not to be !
All my skills and knowledge are self taught with the exception of my trade (carpenter) , F*ck the system has been my battle cry for so long I really don’t know any difference.
The inglorious ignorance in my opinion is what others have, but then again I could be wrong as I have never sat in that boat.
To continue… We ate the same age and in that most forget the conditioning imposed on the young in any particular era, but the firm fact remains that the most influential years in a child’s upbringing starts at the age of reason 6-7+, so similar are we !
I fight. Like I already stated, but you maybe without even knowing how hard do too, take the compliment you deserve it, and coming from me I don’t give em of easy.
Your posts are to me ‘inimitable’ and I couldn’t give a shit what ad-rem says, you are you and that’s the only reason I believe in God.
P.S, if you wanna jump could we hold hands 😝.
Good morning, my friend 💓
I suspect you are closer to God than some who go to church and call themselves Christians. You’ve been fire tested, as I well know. It has always broken my heart to know your story. And yet all you have endured has tempered you into cold hard steel but with a heart so big underneath which has shown itself to us and to so many who have benefited from the love for your fellows and who have come into contact with you at perhaps the lowest moments of their lives.
You’ve survived, a miracle in itself. You are not crushed or destroyed or bowed. I know, as you must surely know, God has been with you on your journey, and He is still upholding you. Who better to travel with this in this world He created.
This is a lovely post, as all yours have been. I remain your devoted far away friend…LBT
“I never have and never will walk into a church of any denomination again.” And “Now here’s the interesting point, I believe in God !”
You are not alone in this thought. Each of us who share it have different reasons with the same result.
As you say – Such is Life
We all woke up this morning – we get to try all over again to do what we can do 🙂
Your thoughts are much appreciated – HUGS!
What Betsy said, dear mate!
Cheers
Beloved Mungrel,
I can relate to you. I’m like the forgiven wild demoniac in Mark 5 who begged Jesus that “he might be with him.”
If the Lord were to unrestrain me from my bond to Him, I fear I would twist off into…
I’m grateful that you bare your soul here on the OT.
If you make it to America, my door is wiiiide open.
Know it. ✝️
Thanks Frank, of course if your ever in oz the same applies.
I’m working today so just a quick Goodaye.
I’ll flip a coin with Frank for ya, M, though he and I don’t live too far apart. 😉💓
We could hold hands, but! It’s a long distance across the ocean and believe you and I are not “jumping material!” ❤️
FOUND IT!!!!
Inimitable Leenie!
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.

Mornin’ infidels!
Truly hits the mark.
Bet! You have a way with words!
I practice!! 😁
Morning,
If I can just remember to keep things as focused as Paul did and not worrying about what others thought, wow, how God would increase faith…
“And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God.
For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.
And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.
And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:
That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.”
1 Corinthians 2:1-5 KJV
Good Morning phflipper!
I’ve enjoyed and learned from your postings. Wanted to thank you for all of them. ❤️
Though not much in the way of teaching, I can share. Thank you, Feral.
How can you be the most effective teacher?
I suppose by sharing Scripture like you did!
Thanks “teach”. 🔥✝️🔥
Good morning, P💓
I believe wisdom is a gift. It seems there is little to no wisdom in men now.
Nor is there recognition amongst those who do Satan’s hideous work that they have chosen poorly in his service. From my perch here it also seems to me God has stripped those who are Satan’s acolytes of His truth and turned them all into fools and knaves. It is they who should be truly terrified. Again, we are admonished to fear nothing but the loss of God, which makes me tremble as well. 🙏
Agreed, sis. There seems to be lots of worldly learning and no wisdom. At some point God turns those that continually deny Him to their own devices.
Romans 1:18-32 perfectly illustrates the descending in that hellish morass.
And just prior to those vs is, “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone who believeth, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
the power of God…
not man.
Amen!

Yes sir.
Quiet. Terrifying. Wrath.
Indeed, Betsy – I was reading Psalm 10 this morning to start my day with vs 2-4 coming back to mind as I read your words.
The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined.
For the wicked boasteth of his heart’s desire, and blesseth the covetous, whom the Lord abhorreth.
The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.
There has always been talk and recognition of evil in an abstract way. But in my lifetime I never suspected that I would see it as clearly as I do…made manifest openly by those whose earthly works have no God in them. And by those who seem to have made a Faustian bargain with Satan, who has gathered unto himself souls as easily as one might pick a basket of wildflowers in the springtime.
Thy will be done, I keep saying to myself, as only God plans and disposes, per Psalm 10, which you posted. B🙏
Yes dear sis.
We are at the beginning of the beginning of Jacobs trouble.
The Lord is purifying His bride. He is moving us to a place where we desperately cry out for His appearing.
Maranatha!
I feel it as well, Frank, with each day that passes🙏
Wow.
Amen. Thanks much.
Thank you Lord for my “funk”. It enables me to grow spiritually and thank you Lord for flyover and the message you sent through him/her.
May your day be blessed flyover ❤️
Just in case anyone is still unfamiliar with the coordinated campaign to disparage Ivermectin, which is actually safe and effective, so that Big Pharma could make billions of dollars selling vaccines and new, expensive drugs which are not safe and effective, read Phil Harper’s series of short articles. This one lists links to his other pieces.
“In previous posts, I demonstrated that a critical research paper detailing how effective Ivermectin was against COVID was altered by ‘a very powerful lobby’. By January 2021, the world was already in possession of enough data to roll out Ivermectin as a treatment for COVID. That data suggested we could reduce deaths by 75% if we used Ivermectin. Even today, studies show the exact same thing, Ivermectin reduces death outcomes from COVID by 70%. Instead of rolling it out, a lobby ‘had a say’ in the conclusions of a critical research paper causing the cheap and effective drug to be stopped in its tracks. “

And now, Florida has “allowed” off use medicines to be prescribed. Excellent, though it is criminal I feel for a doctor’s judgement to be interfered with by any government.
I’m starting to believe Tucker’s role in the media is the state-approved flogger and pressure relief valve. He gives air to the daily outrage, our feathers are ruffled appropriately, then the only thing that ever happens is CNN, MSNBC. and NPR find some little nit and use it to say “Tucker is just misinformation” and “can’t believe FOXNEWS keeps him on”.
So fed up of the division created and continually stoked by our unserious media. The only way our govt ever gets fixed is to eliminate them, entirely. Otherwise, forget it, there’s too many stupid people who cant be bothered to confront reality and they’re entirely happy just being part of the flock. You get the govt you deserve.
Tucker to me is fluff. He’s a mouthpiece I believe, confirmed for me by his statement that when he and his team first heard the accusation that the US had biojabs in Ukraine, they declined to broadcast it.
There was no “Well,this is what we’ve heard, so now we will investigate to see if there is any truth in it.” There are no investigative journalists at Fox. Tucker outed himself as a “personality” only in the silliest way, asking “Why would we believe that?”
Fox poses as an honest outlet. But they’ve taken money to promote vaxes right down the government line. Our cord is cut. We do our own research and reading. And in doing so, we discovered the truth about those biojabs 3 weeks before this story came into the public domain.
Useless and, in most cases, dangerous is what all media companies are, no matter how liberal or conservative they present themselves.
Say it Loud
Say it PROUD
Dzien Dobry (good morning)
Dzien dobry ms Idaho. 🙋♀️
dobrze się jeszcze bawisz? 🤭
yes, I guess I am.
I keep reading Dianne Marshall for uplifting thoughts on how this all will end
I believe Russia will be the vehicle Trump needs to take down the deep state
I believe BRICS will be the mechanism to take out the world banks.
The multinationals are cutting the ground out from under themselves as Russia proves they don’t need biggies (like Visa & MC) to function.
More of the world will soon follow and begin separating their economies from the Multi Nationals.
I believe in Devolution. I believe in a government in exile.
I just lack a time line – but I can wait 🙂
FUN … FUN … FUN
This is a thought has been working its way through me, Flyover. Especially unto the word “chastened”. It is not coincidence which has caused you to post this today. Thank you.
Thank you, flyover for a daily dose of Spurgeon.
🙂
Morning, Treepers!
Glory to God for all things.
Now that the jabs have been essentially debunked as not worth really anything regarding c19 treatment, and actually dangerous, why are us unjabbed folks being treated as second class citizens in so many ways?
Those that have been jabbed and have their Mark of the Beast certificate can travel, cruise, etc., while these activities are being denied to those without?
This really is frosting my backside.
Rant off!
Dr. John Campbell: The Pfizer Documents ‘This is quite alarming’

Thank Almighty God, Dora, for the judge who denied Pfizer their requested 75 (!!!) years to release the damning proof of their perfidy and genocide, and in the process revealed the FDA to be the corrupt, bought and not fit for purpose government entity that we all knew they were.
Yyyyup.
Planes, Trains, and Automobiles:
My Niece just got in here from S Korea. Taxi to train station. Taxi from Train station from Airport. Flight to San Franciso. Flight from San Franciso to Houston. Flight from Houston to Indianapolis. Father picked her up last night at the airport and she stayed at his place for a few hours until she could get their van which was kept here in Indiana by her husbands family. Then she drove here and is getting set up in our spare bedroom as I write this.
At Customs in San Franciso she accidently handed the TSA agent the wrong passport for S. Korea. She then gave him her US passport. The guy said “It is illegal to have more than one passport!” She pointed out that the S. Korea pass port was required by the US Military.
Then the A-hole asked for her orders. Totally irrelevant since she had already presented her US passport proving her US citizenship. But Corbin presented the orders and he said they were out of date. That is BS because travel orders are good for 30 days from the date issued. That is why they always say “on or about such and such a date.
The little twerp had not authority to demand those orders as he has NOTHING to do with the military and as I said the Passport already had proved her citizenship. Finally he said you can only travel with your military member and Corbin said READ THE ORDERS! And she said I, as a miliary dependent object to your harassing me this way. Call the US Army liaison right now! That ended the BS and he let her pass.
She was clearly harassed because she is military. That is what you get when you have little twerps working for your “security”.
We await the arrival of her beagle, Calley. She should be in tomorrow.
But she is here now and will be staying with us for a six weeks or so until her Husband gets back and then they go to Ft. Campbell, KY.
And of course as I was writing this Josh called. I depart at about 15:00 for a run up to the Romulus terminal. There I do a relay with a driver coming out of Canada and bring the trailer he has down here to the Anderson terminal.
I KNEW they would not let me get away with a 5 day work week! It was just too good to be true.
Been there, rah. I was harassed by immigration when I was waiting for my husband with his green card to clear. I was told where to stand while I waiting for him, only to be yelled at from a distance by a jumped up job’s worth telling me I couldn’t stand there. He let up after I pointed out the man who ordered me originally.
Then came the interrogation which ended only after I proved I could sort of, kind of pronounce the longest town name in Wales, a story I’ve posted before. Had we had no English or any legal right to enter, I’m pretty sure we would have been waved right through.
I’m sorry she was subjected to that ordeal, especially as I’m sure she was exhausted by her travels. And military? Disgraceful and unforgivable.
That’s what you get for being dependable. 🤠

Exxon reportedly considering selling $5B in assets in North Dakota to “interested” (unnamed) buyers.
I wouldn’t be surprised to hear these are foreign interests. Would the WH actually be brazen enough to allow foreign interests to come in and work oil assets in this country after shutting down American companies down? Probably a stupid question.
It would have been under Trump. But we are tragically not there any more…so no…not stupid at all. In fact now that you’ve mentioned it, I’ll keep my eyes ooen.
Amen
Amen 🙏
Amen!
Amen
Amen.
Amen.
Amen.
Amen.

Sleep well, all my friends🙏
Such a beautiful verse seems to deserve a song accompaniment don’t you think?
