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 †

“The best possible contribution we can make toward world peace………..” Indeed, yet so many of us do not understand just how ridiculously easy it would be to achieve that – even if it only lasted for a moment or two – it would be enough to prove it possible. All each and every one of us has to do, is be “nice”, polite, dignified, tolerant, understanding etc (what we all recognize and want ourselves) to not some distant stranger, but to the people we come into contact with every day. Just a good morning neighbor, here’s a tenner Mr homeless guy, hey, you go (in traffic/shopping line etc) or just the old helping granny across the street. All of these seemingly insignificant and easy acts of kindness, even for 1 moment the world over, could bring us all to the peace we ALL so desperately desire. Our problem of course is that the darkness is so heavy, the evil inclination so strong, that he (Satan) works day and day on every one of us in order to turn us into miserable, defensive, frustrated, afraid, hurt, falling souls, who doubt not only ourselves, but humanity in general. (it can’t be done). I say it can be, and HMM is correct, it will only be possible when each of us is reconciled to God, or at least is prepared to begin the journey. Even the biggest Atheist should see the logic of a happier, better world.
Your last sentence is the problem…logic is NOT in their vocabulary…🤷🏻♂️
🇺🇸💪😀👍
Unbelievably, you are right. I have family members with degrees and top,top positions, that wouldn’t know logic if it bit them. Highly “educated” intelligent sheep. This is what brings me to despair. However our job and mission is to keep chipping away. Sooner or later we hit gold
Amen to that 👏😀👍

Looks like first one didn’t take so:
😌
Good morning, Garrison on this November CURSDAY 💕 Oh excellent!! You’ve chosen this lovely talented lass again!
Once I let the dogs out, it’s ☕☕☕ and a listen on the first time we’ve out the heat on…brrrrrrrr 😬🍁
Don’t forget to wear your cap…it’s cold out there!!
One day, little man….
Very good boys 💕
Oh dear…..
QUITE RIGHT!!!!!
Not quite there, but it is Friday Eve and sometimes preparing for it is the best part.
Looks like my kind of evening 😎👍🏻
Mornin’ Bets
Wow! You sure are on top of Cursday. Haven’t stopped laughing yet – so enjoyable.
I’m a wimp: turned the heat on last week after a few freezes. Only 32 this am, but projected to reach 85 this afternoon. That’s the 🏜.
This is why we love them so ❤️
every time you experience the anguish of losing a dog,
ask yourself one question:
would i rather it be me me suffering like this
or my surviving dog(s) ?
it’s one answer to the age old question:
why are dogs lives so much shorter than ours?
answer: so we don’t break their hearts by predeceasing them.

We’ve lost so many and it never gets even bearable. But, yes – we really are their whole life, and I wouldn’t wish that heartache upon them. Thank you. ❤️
Dinah in Heaven
She did not know she was dead,
But, when the pang was o’er,
Sat down to wait her Master’s tread
Upon the Golden Floor,
With ears fully rock and anxious eye
Impatiently resigned;
But ignorant that Paradise
Did not admit her kind.
Persons with Haloes, Harps, and Wings
Assembled and reproved;
Or talked to her of Heavenly things,
But Dinah never moved.
There was one step along the Stair
That led to Heaven’s Gate;
And, till she heard it, her affair
Was –she explained–to wait.
And she explained with flattened ear,
Bared lip and milky tooth —
Storming against Ithuriel’s Spear
That only proved her truth!
Suddenly far down the Bridge of Ghosts
That anxious spirits climb
She caught that step in all the hosts,
And knew he had come.
She left them wondering what to do,
But not a doubt had she.
Swifter than her own squeal she flew
Across the Glassy Sea;
Flushing the Cherub every where,
And skidding as she ran,
She refuged under Peter’s Chair
And waited for her man.
There spoke a Spirit out of the press,
‘Said:–“Have you any here
That saved a fool from drunkenness,
And a coward from his fear?
“That turned a soul from dark to day
When other help was vain;
That snatched it from Wanhope and made
A cur turn man again?”
“Enter and look,” said Peter then,
And set the Gate ajar.
“If know aught of women and men
I trow she is not far.”
“Neither by virtue, speech nor art
Nor hope of grace to win;
But godless innocence of heart
That never heard of sin.
” Neither by beauty nor belief
Nor white example shown.
Something a wanton–more a thief–
But–most of all–mine own.”
“Enter and look,” said Peter then,
“And send you well to speed;
But, for all that I know of women and men
Your riddle is hard to read.”
Then flew Dinah from under the Chair,
Into his arms she flew–
And licked his face from chin to hair
And Peter passed them through!”
By Rudyard Kipling, who loved his dogs and grieved for the ones who went heavenward (I’m convinced) to wait for him 💔
All dogs go to heaven. . .
Oh my ❤️
I really have no words, my friend. Love to you and your wonderful family.
See below, zoom💕
Good afternoon (as it is now here), Corny 💕 Yeah…the odd time of year when if I dress against the morning temps, guaranteed it will be totally wrong for the afternoon ones.
I have a well made knit cardigan in cream which I bought in the UK which is over twenty years old which I wear over a three quarter sleeved tee transitionally in autumn and spring while the temps even out. Every piece of clothing (not much) I still own has lasted waaaaay longer than anything I have bought since being back here. So I’ve dragged it out.
Love 😍 that sweet picture….oh my…I really do!!
Now waiting for Sundance to throw up a thread on Matt Gaetz withdrawing his nom for AG…Tue co versatile is going to be awesome.
From the beginning I’ve thought he wouldn’t go the distance, suspected that perhaps he was not meant to for a yet unknown plan…
We will see 💕
Celticclothing.com Great on-line store in the Boston area.
All great pics , Betsy, good chuckle in the am ..btw, I too have started to put heat on 😂..not as cold as your area but this old timers bones don’t handle chill as well as in the past..😂.. enjoy your day 😘
🇺🇸💪😀👍
Ditto, friend Jim . . .
Mornin’ Betsy!
I snagged the pic of the dog in the car net and sent it to both my kids!
That’s funny!
I snag a LOT of pics you post and send them on to others. Juuuuuust so you know your efforts are appreciated by more than you know.
A bunch of folks on here post great pics I send further along, and I appreciate you all!
Good morning, Greg 😘☕🍁 You are kind, thank you…
It seems my raison d’être these days is a week long hunt to find pics for our Cursday and Caturday. Sometimes, for dogs anyway, like hunting for the Snark 😂 But this week was bountiful! And I do enjoy it so much. If they make you happy, then I am happy, too. Bless, my friend 💕
Dear Betsy, please know that your not-insignificant image-searching effort is dearly appreciated by me as well.
I also share greg1’s habit of occasionally sharing some of the images you post of our two favorite species of pets. When you post a long string of images I merely share a link to the first one and instruct my recipient(s) to start scrolling…..
Blessings upon you & your family!
I hope your mother is making great strides in getting her mobility back to better than it was before 🙏🏻💕
Thanks for thinking of her, Betsy!
She’s doing better than both of us thought she would be by this point in time.
Tough, TOUGH country girl. And obviously, the help of God Almighty.
One knee down, a bunch of work to go, and then she’s gonna try to do the other one soon. Surgeon was skeptical of the timing, but we will see. We may have to hire someone to help out awhile because at some point, I have to go back to work. Challenges….
I’m getting time with her I otherwise would not get, and I am CHERISHING it.
She’s the most amazing person I’ve ever known and I’d say that about her even if she were not my Mom.
Thanks for thinking of her!
I was married to an orthopaedic surgeon once upon a time. So I learned the initial recoveries were not easy. But once a patient got passed those, it was full speed ahead to pain free movement. Which is where your mother is headed. Of course country woman grit helps 😎 Good for her!!
And just so you know….you’ll always be her little boy 💕 😌 It is a blessing for you both that you were near enough to help. Precious times…make those mental cocktails…
Mornin’ Greg
I “snag” them too and share mostly with the kids and g-kids. Sometimes, they end up back here!
I laughed out loud at this one!
Good morning, Bet! I turned the heat on last night for the first time, too. Turned out to be a wise decision. 😍❤️
Hey there, my brother!! 💕☕🤗🍁 We are bundled up this morning all right. Tis the season. I can’t believe Thanksgiving is next week!! Then on to beautiful Christmas, once again full of hope and promise 🙏🏻
Good afternoon, dear Bet. A bit earlier I’d commented how, starting out, I was always looking for new, unknown, performances. Now, I know longer do that. First, because I find the constant sifting not quite the kind of curating I’ve always liked.
Now, what I really enjoy doing is finding and presenting great guitar performances, sometimes—often increasingly—by a growing collection of universal favorites.
I think the key to this kind of curating is to try to avoid too-obvious repition. Doing that tends to detract the rich esthetics of a otherwise splendid performance. Yep, it requires a good sense of balance. But, hopefully, that’s what being a curator demands. Glad you again enjoyed Valeria’s fine playing. So did I. 🙂
I’d like to say thanks to our friend Nimrodman. Yesterday he recommend a movie, “Angels Sing” which is a free movie on the “PLEX” movie site. Just finished watching it. It’s a most enjoyable Christmas movie. Highly recommended.
um…. Thanks … I think … LOL /s
Close but no cigar for you Garrison.
Link so no one has to search for the Plex link to movie:
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2024/11/20/wednesday-november-20th-open-thread-2/comment-page-1/#comment-11320664
And to My Magic for posting direct link!
!!!! 🙂
Sorry, MMW. My bad. 🙂 Movie was quite good. Willie was a very well played Santa Claus!!! Kris did an equally good job as an elderly father figure. Lyle and Kat did a very entertaining performance of “Christime Is Here”.
It’s also available to watch for free on Tubi TV. Most recent smart tv’s and streaming boxes like Roku and Apple TV have the Tubi app already installed.
You just need to register (for free) to use the Like/Dislike , My List, Continue Watching etc. features.
IMDB only listed Plex, usually they list all but more places probably just added for the holiday season, I got it years ago, probably from a $5 Walmart bin since I had cut the cord long ago.
That’s understandable. I often use IMDB to find “ where to watch” info, and have found it’s not always exhaustive in the listings.
I have found Tubi has a huge inventory of movies in all genres, but my favorite feature (besides closed captioning and remembering where you might have stopped watching the movie and turned off the tv, so that you can come back in the future and pick up right where you left off) is their limited number of interruptions for ads, and the more logical spots in the screenplay to cut to commercial.
I think they’re possibly the lowest # of ads per movie among the “free” streaming services, and after each ad, the movie actually repeats the last one second of movie before it had cut to commercial.
Thanks for this comment. I’ve been barely in the last several days and it will be like that for a bit more. Missed this from Nim so will mark and watch when I can.
Mornin’ Garrison
I’m sure going to check this out. Have a list of about 10 Christmas movies I never miss. Some aren’t
the usual fare, like: It Happened on Fifth Avenue, and The Shop Around the Corner. Others are more classic like: A Christmas Carol (1938 and 1951 versions) and A Wonderful Life. I even watch a 1918 silent version. Thanks and ❤️ to you and Nim!
Thanks. I’ll look for those . . . 🙂

C.V. Raman
(1888-1970)
Indian physicist (Nobel Prize 1930 for light scattering), dies at 82
Biography: C.V. Raman was an Indian physicist, best known for his development of the spectrograph and his investigations into light scattering. He received the 1930 Nobel prize in physics “for his work on the scattering of light and for the discovery of the effect named after him.”
Raman made an early contribution to the question of why the sea appears blue. He contradicted the previous answer by Lord Rayleigh, who had claimed that the blue was merely the reflection of the sky. Instead, Raman posited that the sea’s blue was a result of molecular diffraction.
This work on diffraction, published in 1922, gave rise to the line of thought which would lead to his discovery of the Raman effect.
Welcome to Cursday….I have three things to say…treat your dog…love your dog…and start your engines:
Great videos….thank you, Aggiegirl !!!
You are welcome….anything to turn a buck at AKC…it is fun to watch…the sheltie I lost two years ago saw some dock diving and he looked at me, after getting splashed, (on the whole, shelties hate water)…he looked at me as if to say “That ain’t right!”.
A sheltie is on my “possible” list.
Here is a cool one….my old Blaze did some of that…not bad for a sheltie…
Great stuff, Aggie
Our pups beat us down our drive every time: all the while flinging gravel into the windshield. 😁
But, having seen so many dogs through their senior years, it really is a joy to share in the healthy exuberant years too.
Israel Update:
I didn’t report for a few days because I was waiting for something that goes beyond “They killed us and we killed more of them”.
There were many speculations and misinformation going on.
Most of what I read on our media was under this category.
I can screen it but to give you the extra mile I will unfortunately have to dedicate the this report to the “Israeli Deep State”. I say “unfortunatly” because it’s a subject for many pages and hard to present and I myself don’t know everything about it. But it must be basically understood in order to understand the overall picture of what is going on. Why this war happened? Where is Israel headed? So bear with me it’s a different kind of report. It should make you look at things differently.
-Deep State in Israel:
The subject is elusive because it mixes up with fake conspiracies and it’s the “shadow control” so it’s not clearly visible . While I am aware of International Deep State elements, in Israel it is a bit different but all Deep States in the West are connected by Globalist ideology and also inter-personal relations (they meet each other to coordinate).
So Israel was re-founded in 1948. The original Founders came mainly from East Europe and brought with them Socialism. When I grew up
(I was born in 1964) we had one TV station, three radio stations, one phone company, one electrical company, one water company, etc…. all State owned. One Party was controlling all the broadcast media, printed media, unions, military, all government portions.
So The Party was called Mapai (abbreviation of “Workers Party of the Land of Israel”) and one had to be a member to get promoted to significant position like top of the military, head of government factory, etc… There was still democracy but the competition had no chance with such a domination of the media, etc…
I know, it’s not yet about Deep State but it will get there. Patience.
So I must go over the demography. Israel had three Jewish populations: the indigenous who were on that land for generations, they were a small minority, the “Ashkenazi” (Jews from Europe who some came before WW2 but most were Holocaust survivors from Europe. Poland, Hungary, Russia, Germany, France, etc… more or less in that numerical order).
The other group were from North Africa. Morocco, Tunisia, Libya, Yemen, etc… they are called “Spharadi” or “Spharadic”.
Over some 10 years plus the Spharadi Jews became as large as the Ashkenazi.
But the Ashkenazi Jews were more educated and arrived with better skills and were the first group to immigrate and Founded the State,
the Spharadic Jews became kind of second class citizens and tension arouse. There was discrimination in society. Not by the law.
Now the opposition was led by Menachem Begin who was also Ashkenazi but was from a movement who were right wing and not Socialist nor Communist.
So we had two main groups and the psychological aspect has to be mentioned objectively. The Ashkenazi were more damaged psychologically from the Holocaust. The damage carried over to the next generations too. And it is my belief that lower emotional states are more attracted to left wing ideology. They were more complicated. The Spharadi Jews were simpler people, overall statistically had more tendency to violence and crime, and because of their discrimination they became the main voter bloc of the opposition. Of the Likud, the Party of Begin. They still are.
It was only in 1977 that a breakthrough occurred and Begin won the elections despite the vicious Left wing smears against him.
The Likud stayed in Office until 1983. Then lost from 1984-1986. Then won again. And it went back and forth from right to left with gradually more and more right wing parties in Office. Bibi himself was a factor and was in Office 1996-1999, 2009-2021, 2023 to present time.
Menachem Begin put an end to Socialism and sold most of the government companies and Bibi turned Israel to a free market US style ecconomy and a technological supper power.
As the decades went by, the gap between Ashkenazi and Spharadi Jews closed to a good degree. But the Spharadi stayed more at the right of politics and the Ashkenazi more at the left. The Spharadi tend to bring more children and also the religious people (who join the right) bring a lot of children and so the left lost its power and future.
Now I know I didn’t mention Deep State yet but one more aspect and it will make sense.
Another split occurred. The left strayed off the original Liberal ideology and gravitated along with the International Progressive and Globalist movement. This means atheism and a desire to make Israel a secular nation rather than a Jewish Nation, many of the International left ideas including the Globalists who want a Two State Solution and driving money and influence to the Israeli left.
The right is Conservative and wants a Jewish State with equal rights to loyal none Jews.
So there is an internal “War” about the future of Israel.
So in view of the demography that is going right, the Left find a way to hold on to power:
Now number 2 (Judicial) is where it matters. Over the decades the Supreme Court managed to fortify its position and steal more and more power. The election of Supreme Court judges is set up in a way that the majority votes are from the Judicial people. So the Progressives bring in more Progressives. And they are pretty radical left. I would say they represent a party that took only 4 seats of the 120 of the Parliament seats. They managed to pass in a sneaky way a rule that is called “The clause of the reasonability” which means they can nullify the laws under the “reasonable clause”. For example in the last elections they nullified an appointment of a coalition Minister of Internal Affairs because he had a criminal record. But the law said that it was too long ago. But he had another mild IRS type violation since, so they nullified this appointment against existing law. Created a crisis in the coalition.
Another point, they assigned extra power to the position of “The Legal Advisor of the Government”. The Advisor is now a dictator. For example if the Government wants to pass a death Penalty law and the Advisor says “no” then it is a “no”. If the government will try to go against it the Supreme Court will likely go with the Advisor.
She is very Liberal anti Government. She recently sent someone (her representative) to the AG Office and ordered it to investigate the Internal Affairs Minister when there is no reason to investigate.
He is simply what is called “far right”. She also ordered Bibi to
re-evaluate this appointment. If Bibi fires him the government falls. That is her intention. No worries this will not happen.
Many of the higher government appointments get framed with criminal charges and the left can get away with much worse. They ruin lives.
For example: Bibi has multiple cases against him when most of it is insanely false. Like “getting positive coverage because of a deal that he made with a liberal media outlet that never writes anything good about him.”
They open cases against people and flip them to the left or else.
Example: Ex-Prime Minister Sharon was very right wing. After they framed him with a case he all of a sudden became left and pulled out of Gaza with nothing in return. All of a sudden the media left his case alone and the legal proceedings disappeared. This is how we got 10/7 from a historical perspective.
Anti Government protesters block roads and set fires and graffiti.
They get away with it. On the other hand a woman from the right who wrote a graffiti about illegal immigrant rapes got imprisoned.
Additionally somehow the Supreme Court got opened up to external (none Israeli) petitions. So let say Israel decides to destroy the home of a murderous terrorist in the West Bank, it would go through a challenge in the Supreme Court by some Pro Terrorists lefty Foundation that gets its money and directions abroad. Basically a foreign entity. And there are tens of Left Wing Foundations funded by Soros and Europe Globalists, etc…
I remember we had a case in the Supreme Court that involved shooting at Gazan Rioters who violently approached the fence. They had tens of thousands of them. Eventually the Judges declined the matter but when we get external terrorists interests represented in our Supreme Courts then the Military feels extra carful. Eventually it turned out that those organized riots were done also in order to numb the IDF when the real deal attack (10/7) happens.
So a couple of years ago when the Israeli right won in a Landslide they thought they can Reform the judicial system.
This led to a massive media campaign of “Save the democracy”.
And massive well organized well financed weekly large protests.
Bibi proposed a very aggressive Reform that gave too much power to government over the Judicial (a pendulum swing) and this led to massive unrest. And some ex-military called to “not come to Reserve Duty” and this was not punished by the liberal courts not the compromised Liberal Leadership of the IDF. Eventually it came up from Hamas documents that the riots in Israel made them feel that Israel is falling apart and it’s a good time for an attack. It was a factor.
The last factor. Over the decades the IDF would send almost all the high command to get trained in the US under a program in Harvard University. It is organized and financed by a Jewish American organization by the name “The Waxner Foundation”. It’s a “leadership program” and it takes about a year. We in the Israeli right believe that it’s a Liberal Progressive indoctrination. What can you expect of Harvard? We believe that the High Command and how they had it all wrong before 10/7 can be partially traced back to this.
We call it “The Waxner Graduates” in a derogatory way referring to compromised commanders with Liberal values.
The current Chief of Staff is a Graduate and so almost all his upper command who messed up on 10/7. Recently the Foundation stopped the Harvard activities because of Harvard Antisemite disgrace but the program is not ended.
So we have an upper command that constantly trying to end the war and Bibi have to keep them going. Recently there was a leak that the “Security Establishment” said to Bibi that “it’s the last chance to bring back the hostages or we will lose them and we must take painful concessions”. They mean to surrender to Hamas and get out of Gaza and let Hamas grow again. I don’t know who said so but it has the flavor of the Chief of Staff. And why doesn’t Bibi fires him? We all know it.
You guessed right. It’s the Deep State. He is backed off from a judicial interference and massive media incitement to set Israel on riots and protests that will interrupt the war. And some of the soldiers are on the other side of politics so he has to tread carefully to keep some unity in the ranks. And why wouldn’t he fire the Legal Advisor of the Government who is constantly interrupts things? The same reason.
But there is also another aspect. Bibi likes to step on mid grounds.
He is not a radical person. This is his character and you can like it or not. Look how he kept appeasing the Biden’s Administration and wouldn’t attack Iran too seriously and how he delayed the enterance to Rafah and now Lebanon invasion was minimized to a “limited operation”, etc… while at the same time he did what was a must despite of them.
So only history will judge the way he manages things. It’s easy to be outside and criticize without knowing everything. But me and many feel a bit tormented from having to see 2-3 Miles invasion to Lebanon for two months and now they are moving another 2-3 Miles. When we remember the Six Days War and know what the IDF is capable of if only let loose. I guess it was an agreement with Biden. But with Trump there won’t be any excuses. Trump is exactly the opposite of Biden.
He wants fast and aggressive victory. Biden just wanted quiet.
I hope it gave some understandings. Don’t hesitate to ask questions.
May God Bless Bibi and Trump
and make them lead correctly
for the sake of us all.
Such a sad read this morning David but one that must be done. Important that we understand the inner workings of Israeli politics. On one hand it makes me sad, but there is a silver lining. I always assumed that Jewish people were just all left leaning in general. In US elections they almost always support the liberals.
It is really good to see that within Israel there is a massive bloc of the population that sees the truth. In my mind you can’t help anyone that can’t see truth.
It seems that the radical left has hijacked every institution of power in every country. Not by accident. I believe that Satan has overseen the entire process. It is all so evil.
DD
Sad but I had to do it to communicate what is going on. I think it’s the reason why we were punished but can also be a point of change.
Jews in the US started moving right, not enough but some interesting numbers:
NY – 45%
FL – 43%
NV – 42%
PA – 41%
AZ – 37%
Overall there is a slow progress in the past three elections.
Israeli Jews have been right wing over 60’% in past decades. Dual citizens in Israel were mobilized to vote for Trump and there were some 300,000 who voted with close to 90% for Trump the Israeli RNC is saying. Many in PA that may have helped to flip PA.
Progress is a good thing. See post by Feisty above.
American Jews are largely the descendants of legal immigrants who came to the United States before World War II. Many of those immigrants worked in the garment industry, food processing, and entertainment. As a result, they became active in the unionized labor movement and aligned themselves with the Democrat Party. Over the past 60 years, intermarriage between Jews and Christians has weakened the Jewish faith but not Jewish culture and politics. Unfortunately, Jewish political loyalty remains intact, despite the absurdity of Anti-Semitism and transgenderism in the Democrat Party.
Israeli Jews are largely the descendants of those who fought the Nazis or survived the concentration camps. Enough of them have retained their faith in God, and truly believe that “Never Again!” is not just an empty slogan but instead, a way of life.
Perspective…

Bitter for sweet
Woe to those who call evil good and good evil.
Exactly. ❤️
I cannot express my appreciation enough for your honest information!!!
Thank you! ❤️
David, You managed to destroy my feeling I ,new all about Israel and it’s history in this post. –Thank you for setting me straight!!!
I consider your post one of the best in a long line the updates. Please keep them coming.
Jeff
Thank you. I hope I didn’t reduce your affinity to Israel. It is similar to the American internal war. It has pros and cons if you compare.
Pros- Israeli youth and demography are tending to the nationalist patriotic side while in the US you still have to turn around the demography and bad education of the youth.
Cons – Israel doesn’t have a Constitution to enable protraction against Deep State. It’s harder to fight against it. In the US you have a better system with checks and balances.
Anyways, to understand what is going on in Israel one has to know some of what I covered. I could have given many more examples to make one understand how bad the control of Deep State is but I tried to keep it short enough to not intimidate.
On the good side , with modern Internet and Social media it’s now harder to use mind control techniques on the population like it was.
So many in Israel know exactly what I just described. I believe most of the right wing voters understand it and would like to change it.
“I hope I didn’t reduce your affinity to Israel.”
As soon as this war is over, My wife and I are on a plane to visit.
Thank you. ❤️
“Complicated business” phrase comes to mind. Thanks for this historical background.
Yes.
If I could overlay your story with American names and institutions, the map would be much the same. I agree with Dan Dale – It has a satanic signature.
👍
Lots of info to process, will have to read it a few times…I did get the sociological aspect of Spharadi’s…very similar to a segment of our society…and Military, Media, Judiciary and Progressives…still the same…no matter where one is?
I agree. Yes, read again. It has vital info for understanding the factors involved in this war.
Israel fell twice in history and many displaced which is why there are Jews in the world and not only in Israel.
It fell due to internal divide which helped the external enemies win.
We must learn from the past.
Getting eyes turned away from The LORD…
David,
Reading your posts is like the encapsulated version of a college level course: so well thought out, captivating, enlightening.
And……unfortunately, so many parallels to the political realities in this country. As always, Thank You. 🇮🇱 🇺🇸
Thank you. You made my day. ❤️
David: Great synopsis of how Israel arrived at its present situation. Regarding Jews in the US, the great migration of Jews from Russia and Eastern Europe, and the migration of the “enlightened,” assimilated, highly educated Germany Jews, resulted in a large portion of Jews in America voting in favor of progressive liberalism (socialism, to various degrees). Orthodox Jews in America, Jews with a Zionistic upbringing, Jews from the former Soviet Union and other former Eastern Bloc countries (1990s, forward), Persian Jews who fled Iran after the fall of the Shah, and working class Sephardic Israeli immigrants are a growing counter-balance to America’s progressive liberal Jews.
Sending IDF officers and Israeli diplomats to the US military’s top academic training centers and to American schools of international diplomacy (Harvard, Johns Hopkins, Columbia, Georgetown), produced several generations of brainwashed lefties, running the IDF and Israel’s Foreign Ministry.
Religious education and Zionism are Israel’s path to security.

When The Cactus Is In Bloom
by Jimmie Rodgers (1931)
Sad story about his death from TB. My maternal grandfather died from TB when my mom was only 4.
PS – That’s a gorgeous 1930 Model A Ford he’s leaning against – apparently it was his personal car.
The Cowhand’s Last Ride

1933
It is just below freezing and the first flakes of snow of the season are falling here at my Indiana home. It is a wintery mix, transitioning from freezing rain to snow. Slick out on the deck due to wet ice, but the snow is not sticking anywhere on the ground or concrete yet, just some on the weather covers on my deck furniture and the cover of my ready wood rack on the deck.
Won’t be long before we get a real hard freeze that’ll knock out a lot of the bugs that hide in the firewood. After that happens I’ll be bringing in firewood to store in the rack next to the fireplace insert in the living room.
Won’t fire up the insert until after we get temps that stay below or near freezing all day. Any warmer than that and that thing will run a person out of the living room! But once that happens and I fire up the insert for the first time, I will get to see if the cold air return I had put in the ceiling over the insert provides enough warmth to heat the whole house with only the furnace circulating fan on.
Baby, it’s cold outside !!
🤣 🤣 😂
Hello rah…Indiana here as well, have a picture at 3:13 am as the snow began.
BLESSINGS
Mornin’ all!
Thune is not an honest referee – imho.
I think that one way or another they get seated. It ma be a recess, or by some other method, but a POTUS deserves the cabinet he wants.

I think she’s very scared. And of course lying to try a squirm out of the consequences. It ain’t working. The people want you and your boss to pay for your mistakes.
Love to watch ‘em squirm!

Magnificent raptors! Wishing they would exclude our tasty songbirds from their diet.
Possibly a descendant from this adult cruising our greenbelt 3 years ago.
Fantastic pics!! That’s really amazing that you have them (not so much for the songbirds, however), and, your lens is ready!!
Greetings Treepers! 🙏✝️🙏

WE ARE FIGHTING A SPIRITUAL WAR OF GOOD VERSUS EVIL
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.
PLEASE PRAY FOR ABUSED, MISSING, AND TRAFFICKED CHILDREN

St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle, be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him we humbly pray; and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen.
PURE IN HEART
Hearken Ye – Blest are the Pure in Heart;
For they shall see our God when they depart;
The secret of the Lord is surely theirs;
In Christ’s abode – their souls become heirs!
Their lives give glory to the Prince of Peace
Their love for Him is strong – it will not cease;
Like Him – they dwell in lowliness – with men;
Like Him – their pattern for holiness – Amen!
To the lowly soul – His grace He imparts;
With His Spirit pure – He fills their hearts;
For His cradle – and His heavenly throne;
He chooses the Pure in Heart – they alone!
Lord – Let us pray – Thy presence we seek;
Lord – For we pray – Thy blessing unique;
Give us – we pray – a pure and lowly heart;
The Grace from Your Spirit that You impart!
The temple within – we will surely refine;
For the pure resting place of the Divine;
Purify us, Oh Lord – that we may be worthy;
To receive Your Grace – wholly and humbly!
Give us this day your blessing, Oh Lord;
Keep us securely – surely in Your Word;
Let Your Spirit abide within us today;
For You are the Truth, the Life, and the Way!
Blest are the Pure in Heart – the Bible says;
For they are the ones who know God’s ways;
Create in us all – a heart that is pure;
So we will be servants of all – for sure!
Let not worldly concerns sweep us away;
Temptation and sinfulness – let us defray;
For it is in giving – that we will receive;
And the Pure in Heart – will ever believe!
The Glory of God – will be theirs to enjoy;
If they seek His face – in all they employ;
Grant us – Oh, Lord – a heart that is pure;
For the Pure in Heart – will surely endure!

OH, BLESSED TRINITY
Oh, Blessed Trinity – Godhead – three in one;
Undivided Unity – Father, Spirit, and Son;
The Creator, the Word, and Divine Truth;
Enjoined in majesty – through Grace forsooth!
The Father – I AM THAT I AM – Creator;
Who is, was, and is to come – Elevator;
The Son – the Shepherd – attends to His sheep;
The Spirit – Divine Truth – indwelled so deep!
Unparalleled indwelling and inspiration;
The Godhead who upholds our salvation;
The mystery of the Blessed Trinity;
The Power of God touches humanity!
All Praise and Honor and Glory are given;
To the Triune God on high in Heaven;
Without the Unity – of the three in one;
Life eternal – thus – could not be won!
Thank You, Father – for life – You created;
For the death of Your Son – elevated;
For the indwelling – of Your Spirit is;
The Trinity Blessing – of eternal bliss!
How perfect the union – Father, Spirit, Son;
How perfect the plan – for salvation won;
Victory over death – was His guarantee;
His Perfect Love – unconditionally!
Be mindful of the unity – of the trine;
The assurance of salvation truly thine;
For God gave His Only Begotten Son;
And through His Spirit – souls He won!
God so loved His creation – you and me;
That He gave His Son – sacrificially;
By the Blood of the Lamb with the Father’s consent;
We are free – we are saved – by the Spirit – REPENT!
Through repentance and sorrow – we are reviewed;
Reunited by faith – through the Spirit – renewed;
Give us Your Grace and the Gifts of Your Spirit;
Oh, Blessed Trinity – Be Praised – let us hear it!

US carrier vacates theatre?

Here is my guess at the ‘why’…
Obama’s staff in the White House (sometimes called ‘Biden’s staff) now has US troops in Ukraine, using US sattellite targetting information, shooting US long range rockets into Russia, killing Russians.
Vlad has decided the proportional response will be Russians in Yemen using Russian sattellite targetting to shoot Russian anti-ship missiles, at American warships, killing Americans.
Given today’s US Navy has squandered competency and resources on ‘diversity’ and defective ‘Littoral Combat Ships’, it really has no adequate defenses against current Russian anti-ship missiles.
