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 †

In honor of Cursday and Caturday…
A PET’S TEN COMMANDMENTS
1)My life is likely to last 10-15 years.Any separation from you is
likely to be painful.
2)Give me time to understand what you want out of me.
3)Place your trust in me.It is crucial for my well being.
4)Don’t be angry with me for long and don’t lock me up as punishment.You have your work,your friends,your entertainment,but I only have you.
5)Talk to me.Even if I don’t understand your words,I do
understand your voice when speaking to me.
6)Be aware that however you treat me,I will never forget it.
7)Before you hit me,before you strike me,remember that I could
hurt you and yet,I choose not to bite you.
8)Before you scold me for being lazy or uncooperative,ask yourself if something
might be bothering me.Perhaps I’m not getting the right food,I have been in
the sun too long,or my heart might be getting old or weak.
9)Please take care of me when I grow old.You too will grow old.
10)On the ultimate difficult journey,go with me please.Never say you can’t bear
to watch.Please don’t make me face this alone.Everything is easier for me if
you are there,because I love you so…Always!
Take a moment today to thank God for your pets.Enjoy and take good care of
them.Life would be a much duller,less joyful experience without God’s critters.
In full disclosure,we have two of these.A seal point like this handsome little fella,and a lilac point…and they LOVE to talk.Have a blessed weekend amigos,and may the light of our Lord’s love shine upon you all. 🙂
that’s beautiful, Casco
thank you more than I can say
saving it
(the Pet’s Commandments)
Mega dittoes as we used to say
No worries NRM.We Treepers love to share…brains,beauty,friendship,understanding,and love for the Lord.Have a great Day! 🙂
Amen we do!!
Good morning, CBB.💖
What a heart you have, my friend. I feel a tear or two coming. No words. Just perfect. I know these will hit home for so many of us here. All His blessings to you, sir🙏.
Top o’ the Morning Bet!!! And His blessings to you as well my friend.Thanx for keeping my branch all tidy and neat.Off and running to the mines.No hard hat required for this thick headed canary. Wicked rains yesterday…heaviest in probably a half year.Have to go inspect for damage done or narrowly averted,but counting the blessings for the much needed precipitation. 🙂
God go with you in your day🙏. And if you could see your way to encouraging that rain our way, we in Texas would be most grateful. Take care, my friend. Hoping all is well.🤗
Good morning Bet! Yesterday we got some heavy clouds and 3 drops of rain, then it cleared. I am praying that NOAA’s prediction of La Niña into the winter is wrong and we get drought relief much sooner.
Have a blessed day, dear friend. We have to figure out a present for a 10 year old grandson. Nothing like a last minute thing. 💗😁
Good morning, G😘…and gosh you did make me laugh😂!! Whole three drops, huh?
I know its obsessive and really stupid, and I don’t usually check the weather predictions on my phone. Just take what comes. But I did this week. For last night we IPhone said we’d probably get a pretty good covering of rain. Two hours later that prediction had been wiped from memory. Ditto for today, now not ditto. Still, more predicted with a high percentage of probability for the next three days. We’ll see.🙄
I was going to put LOL..but it reminded me that in Britain LOL meant Lots of Love. So when I came back here I used it for all my messages to every one of my kids.
Bad news? I LOL-ed.
Distressing or worrisome news? I LOL-ed.
I’m pretty sure they thought I’d lost my mind, and explained what it meant on THIS side of the pond.😂
Hard HARD to think of a present for a 10 year old lad. I think it can’t be done because it just can’t. We’ve tried and failed with each of our grandlads. Girls are much easier. And as they get older it gets so expensive for us on top of the family pyramid. And remember we have one set of twins and another set of triplets!! So for the younger triplets, I just order popcorn from the Popcorn Factory. They love it and learn all about sharing, which they do so beautifully and with great pleasure. If you have a popcorn shop nearby, I can strongly recommend.
I hope the party goes well, G. Here is a prayer for the birthday bky, sent with love💓🙏
Watch over this child, O Lord, as his days increase; bless him and guide him wherever he may be, keeping him unspotted from the world. Strengthen him when he stands; comfort him when discouraged or sorrowful; raise him up if he fall; in his heart may thy peace which passeth understanding abide with him all the days of his life; through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.
Happy happy birthday, young man!!🎉
After a certain age, I just gave our kids money, or let them buy their own in some place they like…
We’re there now, pyrrhius. I think we started with our twin grandlads near us at about 13. Our other grandsons, including 2 of the three triplets, are still way under ten, so it’s puzzles or books, as they are all avid readers (started young and love it). But you are right. The main thing we hope for is that no matter what, no matter how big or (in our case because w are seniors on limited funds) small, they are all appreciative, the most important thing. We have not been disappointed.
Really well said.
Every bit of it is true.
Do it all, especially the hard parts. They deserve it.
It is amazing the companionship a critter provides.
20 pounds of big ol’ fluffy Maine Coon is hanging out with me and purring as I type this.
This is all very true.
I am at a funeral for my sister in law at the moment except I am not really at the funeral I am sitting outside on the curb with my dog who is tied to a tree with her water bowl nearby. She is 18 months old and suffers from terrible separation anxiety and we couldn’t leave her home alone as this is 2 hours from where we live and that would be 7 or 8 hours. Mostly she can’t be away from my husband. We suspect she was separated from her mom way too soon and he was the first person who held and loved her. Somehow she has brought so much joy into our lives. We just could not leave her today.
What a sorrowful day for you all, Jazzbogie. Heartbreaking for everyone, and I’m sorry. May His peace be with you and all who loved her.
I’d be the same with your precious dog. Exactly the same. Our daughter and granddaughter just sent a picture from the local shelter of the sweetest little inmate. They have a beloved dog, Maggie, and have been contemplating a companion to keep her company. The picture they sent is of sweet little terrier mix, and they’ve gone back home to fetch Maggie to see if there is a spark. I pray so. I really do.
In some ways I wish she hadn’t texted me the picture because now I’ll worry for this little creature’s well being if it doesn’t work out. Our shelter is very particular about vetting and homing their inmates though, so I’m sure with St Francis at the helm, this little one will be delivered to a very loving home.
God bless you all.🙏
It worked out…Pepper has a new loving home. It will take while for her to adjust. She came from a not very nice home and was rescued. But she is adorable and will be very very very loved.💖
a beauty, Leon – is that a Siamese or another type of ‘masked’ kitty?
(ah, I see Casco’s note below)
here’s another unusual one
Beautiful!
My mom found a litter of kittens at her commercial building she rented near the downtown floodwall & railroad tracks. Mom loved animals, so she made rounds to her children with the kittens. She came to my house to show us what she found. Told us all about it, then Mom looked up at me and then asked, “Which one do you want?”
I was thinking to myself…I do not want one. My daughter who loves animals like her grandmama was excited. Looking at my mom’s face, I could not say no to my mom.
We looked at the kittens that were all different. One stood out, it looked like a purebred Siamese kitten. It grew up to be a large male cat that looked just like the cat in the picture…same markings and blue eyes!
That started my love for cats.
Once they have you, Donna, they have you, and there is no turning back. Right? Right, says one who knows.😊
Yes Betsy, there’s no turning back!
A few years after that, we added another. My daughter went with her grandmama and cousins to visit my brother on a Virginia farm. There was a barn cat that was being harassed by the other cats. He was the only one left in his family. Returning from their visit, my brother called before they got home to let me know my daughter was bring home a cat.
So, we added another cat which my daughter named after my brother. He looked like a beautiful Red Tabby. He was a gentle creature very loyal and protective to my daughter. Sometimes he would knead and let out a meow which sounded like he was saying “mama”.
Oh my heart!!!!!!!💓 What a beautiful story. Uh-oh…a few little drops of eye rain here. Because at one point, all our cats were barn cats when we lived abroad. Loved them all, miss them all dreadfully. How lucky are you?? And lucky the chap who found his home with you.
We have no pet family now, and that is a sorrow for us. But vets bills in this country are hideous. Not so in Wales, where we lived for decades. We’ve always felt without animal companionship, a house is not a home, but simply that. A house. So we live vicariously through others in this Tree and their furry families. And that really is a wonderful thing to do.💓
Stunningly pretty.
We have had three Siamese in my life, loved them all.
Smart as all get out and highly athletic. Just a joy to be around. Seemed to sense if something bothered you and would hang out and make you feel better in short order.
Cats ain’t nothing but miniature lions and tigers.
And sometimes…….lions (and maybe tigers) are just giant kitty cats needing to be loved on:
That’s worth watching!
Per your post above, Greg, about your Maine Coon cat, that was the image that I thought of. I scroll down and see this. We don’t know a fraction about God’s beautiful creatures, be they birds, small critters, or lovely beasts like this.
Nice kitty….
😁

New poll devastates CRT and LGBT fanatics
“Overwhelming majorities of Americans oppose teaching kids in grade school about CRT and LGBT, according to a new national University of Massachusetts Amherst Poll.
86% OPPOSE a teacher showing kids in grades K-6 a picture of their same sex wedding. 40% oppose this in any grade.
82% OPPOSE a teacher asking kids in grades K-6 for their preferred gender pronouns. 53% oppose this in any grade.
85% OPPOSE teacher telling kids in grades K-6 they are gay. 53% oppose this in any grade.
75% OPPOSE assigning kids in grades K-6 a book about a person who is transgender. 43% oppose this in any grade.
73% OPPOSE assigning kids in grades K-6 a book about a person who is gay, lesbian. 39% oppose this in any grade.
68% OPPOSE assigning kids in grades K-6 a book about different sexual orientations. 34% oppose this in any grade.
Put another way, only 14% to 32% want LGBT being taught to kids in school before they reach puberty.
Americans get what is going on. The LGBT classes are indoctrination, not education.
The perverts in academia want to get them young.” _ Don Surber
Until puberty, kids have NO IDEA what sex is, let alone what all the LGBTQIA+ permutations could possibly be.
LGBTQ……………Let’s Get Biden To Quit….( not mine, borrowed, but cute)
If so many feel this way, why aren’t more fighting back?
“Imagine yourself as a living house. God comes in to rebuild that that house. At first, perhaps, you can understand what He is doing. He is getting the drains right and stopping the leaks in the roof and so on; you knew that those jobs needed doing and so you are not surprised.
But presently He starts knocking the house about in a way that hurts abominably and does not make any sense. What on earth is He up to?
The explanation is that He is building quite a different house from the one you thought of ~~throwing out a new wing here, putting on an extra floor there, running up towers, making courtyards. You thought you were being made into a decent little cottage: but He is building a palace.
He is coming to live in it Himself.”
~~CS Lewis
I hope this beautiful passage will lift the hearts of all my friends here in the Treehouse. It certainly did mine. All God’s blessings and His peace be with each and everyone of you. And have the most brilliant weekend!💖
Blessings on you, Betsy. Be well. Off to bed for me . . . 🙂
Sleep well😘
Definitely need a good night’s sleep . . . 🙂
🤗🤗🤗!!!
Oh Betsy!!!! You’ve really shared a magnificent beauty!!!!! ❤️
Thanks LBT!!! 😘
You sure know to rumble the thunder!! 😜
Good morning, Cat💖 I read this yesterday and it took my heart. There was no question I would share it with everybody. We are all a work in progress, aren’t we. I knew you’d agree, my feline friend🤗
And thank you all below for your replies. I am so glad you’ve felt the power of his words, as I did. God bless all of you.🙏
Ah, such a beautiful image. Thank you. Peace be with you, Betsy.
Maidin Mhaith , Betsy Amen!
Wow! Thank you Betsy. God’s be with you, in your house.
Wow, illustrative, uplifting and magnificent words there. Beautiful. Good morning Betsy, a wonderful and blessed Saturday to you and yours.
Thank you, Betsy. This is excellent.
With my house, He has had to re-work some of the foundation…..
Mine as well, GB. Ripped out every floorboard, took a sledgehammer to the rest. Still rebuilding and I expect the whole project has a ways to go.🙏💓 Blessings to you.
Happy Caterday, Treepers!!!!
Oh my goodness, Garrison!! That stray is the doppelganger to our feral cat that we care for. Ours is nowhere near that plump, but definitely could be twins. Sweet story. Blessings, my friend🤗.
Such sweet videos. Love works miracles.
IMHO, the secret of genuine love starts with trust and loyalty. That’s a true for the animals in our lives as it is for the people in our lives. 🙂
A devotion for today
Good morning, H.
The other day I outlined the things I prayed for for my children, and now my grands. This lovely sermon describes two of them so well. Faith in Christ and the contentment that comes from knowing He will be with us always. There is no negative connotation in either. Just the opposite. Glorious!🙏💓
Good Morning Betsy!!!! ❤️
Truly glorious!🙏
Met an elderly, 1retired Catechism instructor in a bible study. When I spoke of praying for my grands, she told me the prayer she favored most with hers was putting her hands on them and saying “Lord, grant them wisdom”. That seemed to fit so well, especially in these times.
Good morning, old school💖 And wisdom is exactly what I do pray for all of mine as well. A precious commodity more are in need of owning. She was not wrong. At all!!
Wow, home!!!!💋 before I knew I wanted to attempt to reinvent myself this weekend.. God had a name picked out for it 🥰 ❤️
Content and devoted to our Lord. ☺️
Thanks Home!!
Top of the morning Home…a wonderful devotion indeed.Gracias. 🙂

Chuck Berry recorded “Maybellene”, which would become his first hit record, reaching #5 on the US Pop chart and #1 on the R&B chart. In the heyday of Pat Boone, Frank Sinatra, Perry Como and The McGuire Sisters, it was one of the few Rock ‘n’ Roll songs to get any radio air play that year.

ARMED FORCES DAY – THIRD SATURDAY IN MAY
The United States Military is composed of six branches, including the Army, Airforce, Space Force, Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard.
It was with the idea for citizens to come together and thank our military members for their patriotic service in support of our country that President Harry S. Truman led the effort to establish this single holiday. The one-day celebration then stemmed from the unification of the Armed Forces under the Department of Defense. On August 31, 1949, Secretary of Defense Louis Johnson announced the creation of an Armed Forces Day to replace separate Army, Navy, Marine Corps, U.S. Coast Guard, and Air Force Days.
Good morning, rebel53blog. God bless our military. Remembering always those who gave all and each one who is serving today. May those who have command over them recognize their duty to value those troops.
NATIONAL STRAWBERRIES AND CREAM DAY – MAY 21

Having God’s “Unreasonable” Faith
Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. —Matthew 6:33
When we look at these words of Jesus, we immediately find them to be the most revolutionary that human ears have ever heard. “…seek first the kingdom of God….” Even the most spiritually-minded of us argue the exact opposite, saying, “But I must live; I must make a certain amount of money; I must be clothed; I must be fed.” The great concern of our lives is not the kingdom of God but how we are going to take care of ourselves to live. Jesus reversed the order by telling us to get the right relationship with God first, maintaining it as the primary concern of our lives, and never to place our concern on taking care of the other things of life.
“…do not worry about your life…” (Matthew 6:25). Our Lord pointed out that from His standpoint it is absolutely unreasonable for us to be anxious, worrying about how we will live. Jesus did not say that the person who takes no thought for anything in his life is blessed— no, that person is a fool. But Jesus did teach that His disciple must make his relationship with God the dominating focus of his life, and to be cautiously carefree about everything else in comparison to that. In essence, Jesus was saying, “Don’t make food and drink the controlling factor of your life, but be focused absolutely on God.” Some people are careless about what they eat and drink, and they suffer for it; they are careless about what they wear, having no business looking the way they do; they are careless with their earthly matters, and God holds them responsible. Jesus is saying that the greatest concern of life is to place our relationship with God first, and everything else second.
It is one of the most difficult, yet critical, disciplines of the Christian life to allow the Holy Spirit to bring us into absolute harmony with the teaching of Jesus in these verses.
WISDOM FROM OSWALD CHAMBERS
To those who have had no agony Jesus says, “I have nothing for you; stand on your own feet, square your own shoulders. I have come for the man who knows he has a bigger handful than he can cope with, who knows there are forces he cannot touch; I will do everything for him if he will let Me. Only let a man grant he needs it, and I will do it for him.”
The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.
Lamentations 3:22-23
Good morning FC. Morning prayers completed. Cappuccino in hand. The readings of this page are so complementary to the sound of morning birds singing and the joy of experiencing yet another wonderful day of life in this world.
Have a blessed and cheerful day.
There is an underlying truth, all those things are either already provided or not important. Jesus owned nothing on this planet, yet all was his. Pursue freedom.
I held my dog while he was euthanized, He had bone cancer to an extreme. I felt the moment his life left his body, an opportunity to separate the life given us all. It was distinctly different from one moment to the next. His decay was only held back by his life. Hmm, isn’t that Jesus?
I was woken in the night when my first sons spirit was given his body. I didn’t realize it until later.
Those are the little tiny openings in the veil of physical and spiritual I seek and cherish.
The more we seek spiritual the more we understand that life is not in shiny objects. There is great fear in people when that realization is presented. They stumble and run for safety in the worst places, separated from God. God literally has to rip the shiny trinkets from our hands, to save us. Is that love? To take away a gold bar from a drowning man?
Eternity awaits, this is only training for eternity do not waste it as the pagans do. What awaits is far more precious.
Palerider, what you describe is soooo true. I love that you put into words what I felt earlier this month. And yes, far more preciousness awaits us ❤️
Have a blessed day 😘
Cat, can you imagine sitting in a pew in a church with this man preaching? How wonderful would that be?
Agree!! that would be wonderful to listen to either Oswald or palerider’s philosophy, or for that matter, a whole church full of us….together in person!!!! 💕
What a glorious thought!! In a little country church surrounded by nature and all its creatures, high and low.😍
Ah…excellent.Thinking man’s rock n roll.Thanx angusjj! 🙂
Morning Ya’ll , 🙂

MORNING
My brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Eph. 6:10
My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong. II Cor. 12:9, 10
I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD: I will make mention of thy righteousness, even of thine only. Psa. 71:16
The gospel of Christ … is the power of God unto salvation. Rom. 1:16
I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. Phil. 4:13
I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily. Col. 1:29
We have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. II Cor. 4:7
The joy of the LORD is your strength. Neh. 8:10
Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness. Col. 1:11

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.
Verse of the Day for Saturday, May 21, 2022

Tale of Two Trials: Sussmann & Flynn
Judge Christopher Cooper & Judge Emmet Sullivan
The treatment given to Sussmann is in stark contrast to how Trump associates were treated in this same court. In the Flynn trial, Judge Cooper’s colleague, Judge Emmet Sullivan, conducted a series of bizarre hearings, including one in which he used the courtroom flag as a prop to accuse Flynn of being an “unregistered agent of a foreign country while serving as the national security adviser” and to suggest that Flynn could be charged with treason — crimes not brought against him. Sullivan then declared: “I cannot assure you that if you proceed today, you will not receive a sentence of incarceration. I am not hiding my disgust and my disdain.”

Good Saturday morning everyone. Ahhh, the joy of Saturday mornings as a kid. A bowl of cereal, cartoons and freedom. Out to play all day. Saturdays always remind me of childhood just like Sundays always reground me in spirit and faith.
Have a wonderful day, all. Be blessed and be grateful (ie., notice the blessings that come your way). Cheers!

Dzien Dobry (good morning)
Mornin’ comrade infidels.
I’m a big advocate for choosing grassroots, populist, MAGA conservatives over establishment, neocon, globalist, corporatist RINOs.
Here are some items to look for when determining if a particular politician is a grassroots conservative.
• They advocate for nationalist policies that put the interests of America first over the interests of global elites.
• They advocate for the interests of regular people over the interests of the political and corporate establishment.
• They support policies in favor of individual rights and prosperity.
• They support limited government and only as much taxes as required to provide basic government services.
• They support the right of individuals to make their own healthcare decisions rather than supporting healthcare mandates imposed by governments, businesses, schools, and other entities.
These mandates would include, among other things, covid related items such as mask and vaccine mandates.
Many establishment and corporatist RINOs believe that healthcare mandates, including mask and vaccine mandates, are acceptable as long as they are imposed by private entities instead of governments.
I disagree. Being a private entity doesn’t allow one to override individual liberty. The delegation of tyranny to private entities is actually called fascism. There is nothing conservative or capitalist about favoring corporate power over individual liberty.
• They are readily accessible to the general public. They respond to public correspondence and regularly hold audiences open to the general public and not just the political and corporate establishment and major donors.
• They regularly travel throughout the jurisdiction that they represent do not just focus on where they perceive the most power is.
• They are willing to appear on independent, non-corporate media and not just major corporate media.
• They derive the majority, or at least a substantial portion, of their funding through small donations made by the general public rather than a few major donors who typically represent the will of the political and corporate establishment.
• Their campaigning honestly portrays themselves and their opponents, when they mention their opponents, and does not rely on lies.
• They acknowledge the existence of election fraud and the importance of election integrity.
• They support policies that favor peace at home and abroad over policies that favor unnecessary wars that enrich the military industrial complex.
• They support law and order while recognizing that law and order does not mean automatically backing the police or enforcing onerous laws and mandates on the public.
Law and order means appropriately holding criminals and corrupt politicians accountable and allowing law abiding people to live in peace and safety.
• Politicians who occupy positions in government and in their respective parties that are appointed by their fellow politicians instead of being voted on by the public are often establishment politicians who were appointed based on who they know and how much they fundraise for the party.
These positions include majority and minority leader in legislative bodies, house speaker, senate president, and appointed board positions, board chairmanships, and appointed positions in general.
• Establishment politicians will usually have the backing of most of their fellow politicians in their party, corporate interests, and mainstream media.
• Grassroots politicians are typically supported by a smaller number of fellow politicians who are usually fellow grassroots politicians, a small number of independent, freedom supporting businesses, and independent media.
Good List! Are youOK if I copy and save for distribution / re-posting where I think it’s needed? I shall include your handle if so desired..
Thanks!
I’m fine with you copying and distributing this as you see fit as this is important information that needs to be shared.
It’s up to you if you want to credit me or not. I’m fine either way, but I appreciate you asking. I’m the type of person who’s more motivated by getting out the message than by making a name for myself online.

flock of about four dozen banded pigeons here on the feeder. also stellar jays, gray jays, grosbeak, ravens, gold finch showed up the week. hummingbirds here on OR coast are anna and rufus. babies just hatched and I am kept busy filling the feeders. I can understand ideas of fairies and angels when I see these banded pigeons if the watcher was near sighted
The jewels of His heavens, merrie💖. We always wondered in Britain why we never saw pigeons’ nests. It was a puzzle. Eventually we did see one in the eaves of a centuries old shopping arcade, way up in the rafters of the second row, well protected. The mother had built a secure nest, and I doubt whether the myriad people shopping even realized it was there.
Another shutdown coming?

Ed Sheenan is the artist. It’s a song about his grandmother, and how she inspired his music. Upon her parting, he wrote this in honor of her ❤️ Perhaps, somebody will like it as I. 😘
