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 †

Thank you for these, WP.
Here’s a link to an important message given by Dr. Steve Lawson on “the Sovereignty of God” (2017).
Just listened again for encouragement!

Agree, Miss.Della.B, Dr. Lawson has a series of them and they are all excellent.
Thank you for posting the link.
I saw ZZ Top perform in 1973 Binghamton, Ny Civic Center.
They did not have Beards or long hair; they wore Cowboy shirts and Cowboy boots. Nobody had heard of them then, so it was like wth is this?
They were the 3rd band in a line up, “Uriah Heep” Then , “Earth, Wind and Fire”
ZZ Top came on and Played “Give me a T for Texas” to start with and the Crowd Roared!
You’ve got to love that little ol’ band from Texas… the best music to drive fast to… crank up the volume.
Typical spring day in Texas. I pull into the faculty parking lot. Sunroof open windows down, ZZ Top at full volume. Students loved it. So did their teacher. . . 🙂
Awesome video.
The band ain’t too bad either.
Howdy Garrison!

We proved to the Iraqis how terrific Democracy was that they are now passing laws to align with religious Sharia Law.
Rights groups alarmed about new anti-LGBTQ+ law in Iraq
Rights groups see Iraq’s new anti-LGBTQ+ law, which criminalizes same-sex relations, as another attempt to curb individual freedoms in the country.
Passed Saturday, the law, an amendment to an existing anti-prostitution rule, says those found guilty of same-sex relations will face 10 to 15 years in jail. Additionally, the law criminalizes those who seek or perform gender-affirming medical treatments. Transgender people or the doctors who help them can face a prison term of one to three years.
The United Nations said it was “alarmed” by the passage of the law.
Rasha Al Aqeedi, an Iraq consultant with Freedom House, a Washington think tank, said the new law surpasses in its severity all pre-existing laws and leaves no room to advocate for the protection of the LGBTQ+ community in the majority-Muslim country.
“Iraq has long been a conservative country where the potential for advancing LGBTQ+ rights was dim, but homosexual individuals were often left alone in a ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’ style,” Al Aqeedi told VOA.

Is that the democracy that Alzheimer’s Joey keeps mumbling about ???
This may sound harsh and out of step… but we taught them self determination… then we don’t like what they determined for themselves.
Should have been taught self-control
Thought this was from the Babylon Bee!
I have payed attention to this man since a decade ago. Was a US Marshal, has been a true friend of Israel. Just came out with a new video.
Counter protests in UCLA. By the music I can tell those are Israeli Americans. There are 250,000 of them. They don’t vote DNC. I know them. I have a family there ans I spent some 6 months there with my family. When my Brother In Law got his citizenship the interviewer told him that “America needs more people like him”. Owned an Electrical company and employed people. I also have there some family who appear in US movies and are all active for Israel since the war broke. It’s a long fascinating story I may post some in it just for the fun of it.
The words of the song : “David King of Israel, alive and exists”.
More from this pro Israel demonstration. Can you see the difference between this and the others? It’s as simple as the difference between good and evil. Simple. No much to explain.
Beautiful!
My bestest, most reliable and reasonable, and sincere friends, are Jewish.
The irony of their own argument is totally lost on these “anti-Israel” protestors. They claim to oppose “genocide” by Israel. Their “solution” to genocide is to kill al Jews. (Commonly also called “genocide)
As for the protests, (particularly those which block highways, bridges, etc.).. why don’t authorities simply call their local veternarian and obtain some tranquilizer darts? They could then simply tranquilize the entire group, drag them off the roadway or bridge and handcuff them. No one gets hurt, no structures or businesses get damaged and the road or campus is once again open. My new motto…… “DART ‘EM AND CART ‘EM”
“DART ‘EM AND CART ‘EM”
Ha!
With Russia being in the topic of conversation lately for once I am happy about the algorithms that brought this band into my life. I would love nothing more than to see them live. They did stop performances because of the Ukraine garbage, but apparently have a new CD out, so hopefully they will be back to playing. Probably not in the U.S.:(
They are incredibly talented, gifted, fun to watch, and listen to. They are quirky, emotional, great acting, and have incredible camera and choreography. I am addicted. I purchased two of their CD’s and love listening even though I don’t understand Russian. Some of their videos YouTube will translate and others songs not. Every night I watch a different video. They simply take me away from the world and ease the pain.
One more, performing live.
I love the wash line in the background!
Oh, and I forgot to say creative.
Wonderful! Sounds like something from Scotland and funny too when he throws down his hat 😁
Nothing unusual about this season except the proportion of strong storms to weak storms is much higher. The raw count is right on average. You can see the step up with each outbreak in this chart.
Actual count compared to years starting in 2005.
Inflation adjusted count is actually over the straight count, reflecting proportionally fewer weak EF-1 and EF-2 storms than we have seen in previous years.
Height of the Spring tornado season runs from mid April to late May. So we have a ways to go.

Be paying attention. Some Amercians are going to be having a rough go with the weather today.
Gorilla hail is defined as that which is 4″ in diameter or greater. If I were trucking and had to pass through that area this afternoon or evening I would either hold up or detour around it if possible. Better late than never with torn up equipment too boot!
😯 hahahahahaha xo
We know who is in charge!
Israel Update:
In the US Biden and his party are using the legal system to neutralize Trump. At least this is what they are trying.
The same thing is now done on Bibi. He is faced with the choice of having an International arrest warrant (and his Defense Minister too and Chief of Staff) or surrender to Hamas and go for Biden’s plan to end the war with Hamas victorious with a Palestinian State.
It is understood that the US can influence the ICC (International court) if they want to.
In the next couple of days you will know if Bibi will put himself ahead of the survival of Israel or not. At the same time Blinken and his State Department is marking additional IDF units for sanctions. They are after the IDF now. Full enemies of Israel. We will see how it ends. Most likely a blackmail to make Israel surrender.
It’s all hanging on one point. Israel ending the war and withdrawal from Gaza with guaranties for Hamas that they will not be Assassinated. The Palestinian Authority suppose yo take over Gaza. They have no power in the Palestinian population. Hamas will emerge agin.
If that happens it may be the end of Israel. In the Middle East when you’re weak and the sharks smell blood, you become a target and there are many around. And historically a “peace through surrender” is a recipient for suicide.
If Bibi surrenders then the government falls. He may think he can do a coalition with left wing people but his own party will disown him. So it will be the fall of the Right in Israel.
In the long run the right will re-emerge because there are more right wing voters. But a left wing government will bring a Palestinian State.
In the last few rounds it was Hamas who saved us from ourselves. Who knows. It may repeat itself. But for now all that we can do is pray.
If I managed to depress you then my apology. I guess I am reflecting my feelings. But I will do my best to counter the heavy feelings with the following story that made a mark on my life about a years ago. It was told by a very famous Rabbi. Rabbi Zamir Cohen:
A man lost his job. He had a $10,000 debt that was not going to go away. It was a dire situation. Unemployment would be disastrous. So he did his best to find a job.
There was an opportunity for a job. He scheduled an employment interview.
He dressed up, prepared a good Resumé, got all dressed up and since he didn’t have a car he took a bus, arrived early enough and was all hopeful. This job was not the best financially. It was only $2,000 a month but he thought that it’s better than nothing, maybe he will be able to handle with his debt slowly and persistently. The appointment was about 40 min drive.
The bus started going and after some 10 min the bus had a mechanical problem with the engine and he had to stop. There was no another bus station around.
A very stressful situation.
So I have a question for you my friends:
Was this Good or Bad?
I would guess you said: “bad”. Right?
So he had no many options. He started to hitch-hike and he was lucky indeed!
A very beautiful car stopped and guess what, even the driver was so gracious.
And the best of all is that the destination of the car was exactly passing through the exact spot of the job interview. Since this car was much better than the bus, it would arrive to the destination ahead of time. Just perfect!
So I have a question for my friends:
Was this Good or Bad?
I would guess you said “Good”. Right?
So it all started great but just about 15 min away from destination the car had a crush. Another car bumped into it and I am sorry to say that the hit was exactly at the passenger’s side and the man had his hand mildly cut from the broken window, it was not really too bad, but his head got also hit and he didn’t feel so well. The ambulance had to take him for observation. It could have been a concussion or worse. He was feeling nausea and dizziness.
So the question again. Was this Good or Bad?
Well, it’s easy to guess that anyone would say “bad”.
So the man arrives at the hospital and is put in a room for observation for 24 hours. There is a valid worry and the doctor wants him close enough, just in case.
And guess what, he was put in the same room with another man, and he recognizes the man. It’s an old friend from high-school that he didn’t see for “ages”.
The man is not in a serious condition, he is about to be released the next day.
They recognize each other and talk. They have really good chemistry, just like in old times.
It turns out the head injury is not a concussion and all is well.
And guess what, this man happens to be a successful business man who is looking for an employee. The match is amazingly right. And the salary is not $2,000 a month but actually $5,000 a month. It doesn’t solve the problem immediately but in a few months he would be able to pay his debt and move on.
So is this Good or Bad?
Well, I would bet it’s very Good!
So one learns that “Good” and “bad” are not so obvious as one might think.
Sometimes it takes days, months years or decades to tell.
What you think is good today may turn out bad and vise versa.
The Rabbi continue and tells us about a woman who told him that: “the Heart Attack that she had was the best thing that ever happened to her in her life”.
She is saying that it changed her life, she became from materialistic woman who only cared about money and convenience to a religious spiritual righteous woman who can see things from a deep perspective and make ethical decisions in life and is getting closer to God.
I am sure that you can have your own examples and I am back to:
“Mysterious are the ways of God”.
God bless you my friends. May you have a healthy prosperous present and future. You, your family and nation.
That’s a great story.
Thank you, David.
God bless and keep you and yours.
❤️
☀️ 🇮🇱 💪 David’s Prayer for Israel 💪 🇮🇱 ☀️
(in our conversation late Saturday, David asked us to keep praying this with him)
🎶 🇮🇱 🎶 🙏 God: please bolster Bibi with all the strength necessary to stand firm and make the decisions that are best for the long-term survival of Israel — again, God, please long term.
Amen 🙏 🇮🇱 ❤️
❤️
No words. Just watch. It’s not only Israel under attack. It is arriving to the US. Very Satanic forces.
They must go after the nation who brought to the world the Bible and the belief in one God and Christ.
It’s an obvious target. But America the nation that leads the free world its a target too.
Great (AND REFRESHING, thx!) message.

I saw a really young photo of her recently, I just cannot remember where.
This is the youngest I believe I have seen:
April 30
MORNING
Whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected. I John 2:5
The God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is well pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. Heb. 13:20, 21
Hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his cornmandments. I John 2:3
If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. John 14:23
Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him. Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. I John 3:6, 7
Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. I John 4:17
EVENING
He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding. Prov. 14:29
The LORD passed by before him, and proclaimed, The LORD, The LORD God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering. Exo. 34:6
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. II Pet. 3:9
Be ye … followers of God, as dear children; and walk in love. Eph. 5:1, 2
The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. Gal. 5:22, 23
This is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully. If, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God. Christ … suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps: who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously. I Pet. 2:19-21, 23
Be ye angry, and sin not. Eph. 4:26

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? – Romans 8:35
When it comes to trusting your emotions, marriage and family therapist Jason Wilkinson says your feelings may be real, but they may not be true. He wrote, “Feelings can be very helpful. Feelings tell us when something is meaningful to us. They inform us of when something is wrong.”
Distorted feelings come from distorted thinking, and often, distorted thinking comes from misunderstanding or not knowing the facts.
In today’s verse, Paul asks if there is anything that can separate you from Christ’s love. A believer might feel like questioning God’s presence in the midst of the dire straights Paul includes in his probing.
Emotions might allow you to believe that God is busy somewhere else or not tuned in to your situation. However, your emotions are not telling you the truth.
If you have spent time in Scripture, you know that there is nothing and no one that can remove His love. In fact, just a few verses later (verse 38), the apostle says, “I am sure” that nothing can. In the New International Version, he states, “I am convinced.” The truth is a fact!
God loves you. Have no doubt. “The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God” (Romans 8:16).
You may rest in the reality that you are secure in the love of Christ. Pastor and author Steven J. Cole wrote, “God’s great love for us will be consummated in heaven, but we should experience it now as the foundation for victory as we face trials for His sake.”
Release any emotions and feelings that would lead you to doubt how much God loves you, and embrace His love! Rejoice in it. Pass it on.
Pray that the love of God would overwhelm government officials until they can no longer resist it.

And again in this passage he said, “They shall not enter my rest.” 6 Since therefore it remains for some to enter it, and those who formerly received the good news failed to enter because of disobedience, 7 again he appoints a certain day, “Today,” saying through David so long afterward, in the words already quoted,
“Today, if you hear his voice,
do not harden your hearts.”
8 For if Joshua had given them rest, God[b] would not have spoken of another day later on. 9 So then, there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God, 10 for whoever has entered God’s rest has also rested from his works as God did from his.
11 Let us therefore strive to enter that rest, so that no one may fall by the same sort of disobedience. 12 For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. 13 And no creature is hidden from his sight, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give account.
Hebrews 4:5-13 ESV
26 Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. 27 And he who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. 28 And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. 29 For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. 30 And those whom he predestined he also called, and those whom he called he also justified, and those whom he justified he also glorified.
Romans 8:26-30 ESV

THE SPONTANEITY OF LOVE
“Love suffereth long, and is kind…” 1 Cor. xiii. 4-8
Love is not premeditated, it is spontaneous, i.e., it bursts up in extraordinary ways. There is nothing of mathematical certainty in Paul’s category of love. We cannot say – “Now I am going to think no evil; I am going to believe all things.” The characteristic of love is spontaneity. We do not set the statements of Jesus in front of us as a standard; but when His Spirit is having His way with us, we live according to His standard without knowing it, and on looking back we are amazed at the disinterestedness of a particular emotion, which is the evidence that the spontaneity of real love was there. In everything to do with the life of God in us, its nature is only discerned when it is past.
The springs of love are in God, not in us. It is absurd to look for the love of God in our hearts naturally, it is only there when it has been shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit.
If we try to prove to God how much we love Him, it is a sure sign that we do not love him. The evidence of our love for Him is the absolute spontaneity of our love, it comes naturally. In looking back we cannot tell why we did certain things, we did them according to the spontaneous nature of His love in us. The life of God manifests itself in this spontaneous way because the springs of love are in the Holy Ghost. (Romans v. 5.)

mornin nwtex…..love this one with the humanity, because that’s what THIS
is all about. Peace
God Morning to all. PSALMS 119:105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet,

I have no information at all beyond the MSM reporting…….
Something smells
You don’t send that many officers to serve a warrant unless trouble is expected…….
If trouble was expected then WHY weren’t the officers better prepared to handle whatever came up?
I never accept the narrative anymore, no not ever.
If I’m wrong then so be it but I repeat something stinks about this.
I agree 100%
This is a rather gruesome story but I wanted to post it because it shows fine work and diligence by the NYPD.
Do not click, scroll on by if you think you may be disturbed by it.
I knew about the case a long time ago, it was featured on America’s Most Wanted.
It has a Florida connection too, and some elements that I never would have expected.
‘Midtown Jane Doe’ finally ID’d — thanks partly to eerie twist — 20 years after remains found in cement at former NYC hot spot
NYPD detectives have finally ID’d the remains of a woman found mysteriously entombed in cement at a former famed Hell’s Kitchen hot spot 20 years ago — and they were eerily helped along by a 9/11 victim.
Cops believe that the woman — who had only been known as “Midtown Jane Doe” after her skeleton was found by construction workers at 301 W. 46th St. in Manhattan in February 2003 — is Patricia Kathleen McGlone, a teen girl from Sunset Park, Brooklyn, who was last seen in the late 1960s.
Detective Ryan Glas of the NYPD’s Cold Case Squad finally got a positive ID on McGlone after years of exhaustive, old-school gumshoe detective work coupled with the high-tech forensic and genealogical investigative toiling of the Police Department’s Crime Lab, including some involving the DNA of a woman killed on Sept. 11, 2001 — and whose first name also was Patricia.
“Now we can start the next phase of the investigation — finding the killer,” Glas recently told The Post of the case, which had once shaken the city, frustrated stymied investigators and grabbed tabloid headlines across the Big Apple.
“The work is incredibly rewarding,” added the cop, who spent seven years as a detective in the Sixth Precinct before being transferred to the Cold Case Squad, where he said he always wanted to be.
“Everyone is someone’s child. We have to bring closure,” he said.

Verse of the Day for Tuesday, April 30, 2024
✟
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”
John 1:1 (KJV)
Thank You, Jesus, for blessings received and prayers answered !!!
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.

To whom do we go when we are troubled
When our challenges in life are doubled
We might go to a relative or a friend
Discuss the problem in full to no end
In reality what should we do instead
When problems arise rear their ugly head
We should pray and get into His Presence
We should seek and find His Holy Essence
Where does the Spirit of God reside
Purely in us if in Him we abide
Man can provide some comforting solace
But God’s pristine provision is flawless
The Bible details promises fulfilled
It teaches us Our Father is strong-willed
It provides stories of the days gone by
Prophecies probabilities from on high
The Bible explains the what when and how
We learn quickly why we reap what we sow
We’re taught of His commands and His rules
Given instructions and the proper tools
With holy knowledge there can be no doubt
What God’s Word can do what it’s all about
There is one requirement for us to achieve
We must be holy and we must believe
Because we believe God bestows His love
His Army of Angels charged from above
His faithfulness and power open wide
And His Holy Spirit resides inside

Pro-Palestinian groups sue Chicago over denial of DNC protest permits
Three groups who were denied permits to hold a pair of pro-Palestinian protest marches within blocks of the United Center during the Democratic National Convention in Chicago this summer filed a federal lawsuit against the city on Friday, accusing officials of violating their First Amendment rights.
The groups had sought permits for protest marches on the first and last days of the convention, with parade routes that would have taken them within one block of the United Center, but the Chicago Department of Transportation denied those requests.
You may recall I showed yesterday the model determination of cold to the west and warm to the east in the US. This will give you an idea of how cold it is going to get in the west. Late season snow in the rocky mountains:
Hello Treeps,
One of our clients is a firefighter and he called us asking for a price to treat the weeds at his fire station. When I followed up with the Fire Captain today, he told me that they couldn’t afford the price, about $140, because it would have to “come out of their own pockets”. Upon further discussion, I found out that not only is the City not covering the maintenance on the lawn, they are not providing replacements of broken phones for the building (Captain had to purchase two out of his own pocket so they could answer the station phone), nor are they paying for their light bulbs for their work areas.
Yes.
Big major metropolitan City (DemonRat run Indianapolis) not covering LIGHT BULBS for FIREFIGHTERS’ WORKSPACE. Are they purposefully trying to slow them down from being emergency responders?
I was incensed! Talked to my boss and we are covering the lawn treatment for them, because it is RIDICULOUS for them to have to pay for it themselves.
I called my buddy who is newly retired lifelong 40 year Fire Captain out of S. California. Yep, there too. There, they are making them pay for their own toilet paper at one point during a budgetary tug of war where the localities were playing hard ball with the departments.
Money is being redirected from locality budgets to fund… yeah, you guessed it… illegal aliens, while our peace keepers and public servants are suffering.
Thus, you might want to pick up a phone, or just take a walk or a short drive up to your local fire station. Introduce yourself. Make friends. They could be saving your life someday. Gently ask them if there is anything you can donate to their station to make their lives easier.
The Captain at the Indy station told me, they “can’t say much publicly” – so they are not allowed to outwardly complain, so I made sure to say a few choice words for him on his behalf and he solemnly agreed on the phone.
THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS.
You might also check out your State Treasurer’s Meeting Minutes if you can get a hold of them. I’ve been noticing some unpublished Memorandums of Understanding that are being used to transfer money out of locality departments into other departments, such as police funding moving over to FSSA, which is the Indiana version of welfare. Guess where all those moveable funds are going? Not to the places that the taxpayers were coerced, threatened, and earmarked for… they’re going to illegals. My buddy in S. California also witnessed the same with the toilet paper, maintenance, supply budgets being stripped and redistributed.
I think some FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) requests need to be launched to get access to those departmental memorandums and our public servants held accountable for reallocating taxpayer funds without taxpayer approval. If taxpayer voted upon funds do not go to the destination they are intended, then they should be returned back to the treasury and back to the taxpayer… not clandestinely moved around willy nilly.
FOLLOW OUR MONEY. IT’S TAXPAYER MONEY – NOT THEIRS. WE NEED TO HOLD OUR STATE AND FEDERAL OFFICIALS ACCOUNTABLE.
On a “Federal” level they call it “Transfers and Reprogramming”

Thank you for sharing this info, jwoorior.
this is disgraceful.
everyone who reads this should use this for talking points with those that need to know what is happening, and happening on the sly!
Thanks Slowcobra,
Just some small questions at the ground level locally can reveal a lot about the policies and practices of our representatives. How are they practicing their leadership?
Those representatives need to answer uncomfortable questions.
Do they have working light bulbs in their office???
Personally, I would like our firefighters to be able to see as they pack their gear.

While cleaning up my communications device I found a site in my storage that I’ve never been to but piqued my attention. riskmap[dot]com.
I don’t like it. I went to the site, sounds like surveillance AI. When you click on a “map view’ you’ll see all types of “risks” listed, including political. When you click the indicator it displays a sort of police blotter/news headline, other types of flags why they call it a risk.
Is anyone here familiar with the site? Have any additional insights to add? I’ve deleted it from my device, but I never visited it before to even put it there, so it came on some how, some way. Thanks to those who might know and share.
Need more info.
What was the actual name of the site?
He gave it to us at the end of the first sentence…
I just opened it up in my VPN-shielded private browser on my laptop. It looks like a mapping program that show symbols where different categories of hazards and security-risky events (including crimes) are occurring or reported to have occurred very recently.
The fact that it opened at all meant that my shields and VPN did not discourage it from opening. However it did open the map centered on WALES in the UK rather than the east coast of the USA where my VPN is set.
Here is a screenshot of what I saw when I clicked on a Risk symbol over NW Washington DC:
The “risks” are color coded. Red is “security.” Blue is “political.” Green is “Health.” Etc. I don’t know how it got on my device. And who knows what else lurks that isn’t so obvious.
I *might* be wrong but as of my cursory inspection, I see nothing nefarious about the app. It would require testing on a device that is set up to detect and trace all incoming and outgoing comms once the app is activated and also after it is deactivated. It appears to be another data mapping tool tailored for security / risk data.
Here is a brief description of what the app was made for:

Israel Update:
I translated. Bibi talks to the people today. Looks like he is holding his positions. The Interior Minister also talked with him today and he said that there will not be an irresponsible deal and he is not giving up on the goals of the war. When we see the Gazans move out of Rafah we will know that it’s real.
For now everyone is waiting for Hamas to decide.
Blinken and Biden are opposing for Israel defeating the last few battalions of Hamas. If they aren’t defeated they will grow back to what it was. ie. Biden opposes entry to Rafah. Blinken landed in Israel again for the 8th time since 10/7.
Biden wants to award the Palestinians with a State under control of the Palestinian Authority that genocidal too.
I will pray for Bibi to be strong and make good long term decisions as was envisioned. So far it looks like the prayers work.
😃 ❤️ 🇮🇱 David: thank you so much for translating for us!
And … Let’s keep this prayer happening!
We’re not over the hump quite yet … and it looks like it’s working!
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
🇮🇱 💪 ☀️ David’s Prayer for Israel ☀️ 💪 🇮🇱
(in our conversation late Saturday, David asked us to keep praying this with him)
🙏 🇮🇱 🎶 🇮🇱 God: please bolster Bibi with all the strength necessary to stand firm and make the decisions that are best for the long-term survival of Israel — again, God, please long term.
Amen ❤️ 🇮🇱 ❤️ 🙏
Thank you!!!
Thank you david.
prayers are continuing!!
Thank you!
I’m sorry, but THIS is how you do it. Form your protest, make your demands, negotiate a deal that actually has some benefits for some people, then go back to class, take your finals, and go to graduation. No arrests, no significant damage. Whether one agrees with the positions or not, both Northwestern and their students are to be commended for their handling of this. Find common ground, make a deal, and move on. While other campuses explode, it’s over already at Northwestern. Have the folks at Northwestern all read President Trump’s book?

Personally I love hearing them. But their call is not my call to go to work or even rise and shine! So I get it!
I cant watch cuz I think it might be mean 🙁
