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 †

Israel Update:
I am going to end this report with a deep philosophical question: Is allying with the wicked to save the innocent justified? To what degree?
At the end you will see what I mean. I will follow with a video related to the Mossad. Something you may not know. A top Nazi recruited by Mossad to save Israel.
The current events is Syria reminded me of this. Stay tuned and follow this with my short video.
-I have to get back to the ceasefire with Hezbollah. After a lot of reviewing and listening to all the involved I can say that it all boils down to one thing. Biden threatened to not use a veto to prevent the UN from imposing a ceasefire. A UN ceasefire resolution would make Israel
non-compliant and subject to international sanctions and isolation. Or we would comply and get nothing in return and then eventually have to go back into Lebanon for our protection.
Bibi preferred to do a ceasefire with getting something back and he left holes to end the ceasefire when there are violations that there are and will be.
I was translating Bibi’s interview and it would require me to spend 8 hours to complete and it was not worth it. It was a sales pitch to explain the ceasefire but when asked if he “would return home to the North of Israel if his home was there”. He avoided a direct answer and said that “it’s not imposed on anyone and everyone will be back when they feel they can”.
I get the idea that he is simply waiting for Biden to leave so the job can be completed.
This ceasefire is really a fake deal. Lebanon army is useless and allied with Hezbollah.
They are not going to enforce anything. The deal was signed with the US and Lebanon. Hezbollah is a terror organization. When was the last time that a terror organization kept the terms of a long term deal? They are already violating it and getting attacked.
-Trump issued a strong threat to Hamas to “let go of the hostages before Inauguration Day or they will open the gates of Hell.” Something like this. We shall see how it works.
There are many options of what he can do and Biden didn’t. I will not speculate. But I am happy to see him putting the pressure on Hamas and not on Israel like Biden did.
-There is a lot more going on but the main news of the week is Syria!
Basically once Israel weakened the Iranian Shia Axis (Iran, Hezbollah and other proxies) the Sunni Rebels in Syria didn’t wait, they recognized the situation and did a surprise attack.
Stunningly they managed to take over a lot of North Syria including the second largest city in Syria (Haleb). We may see them soon going to Damascus.
Now if you thought that Israel is a complication or Lebanon, Syria is the worst.
I doubt that it worth it to explain all the details.
Basically Assad is the dictator. He and his Alawites minority (It’s a splinter religion of the Muslim Shia) have been ruling Syria for decades. They are “the Elite” of Syria and the majority in Syria are Sunni. In the Civil War of Syria Assad was going to lose until Russia and Iran with Hezbollah bailed him out while massacring the rebels and civilians in their areas. Assad also killed hundreds of thousands of Syrians.
There are a few main Rebel groups. One is moderate (The Free Syrian Army) , one is Kurds (another ethnicity) who are in good relationship with the US and Israel and are the sworn enemies of Turkey (Turkey is on the bordered of Syria) and there is an organization by the name Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) that used to be called Al Nusra and that was an affiliate of Al-Qaeda. In 2016 they cut ties with Al-Qaeda. I don’t know the reasons why they separated (Al Qaeda was on the black list of the US and it was not a good name to have, my thought).
Anyways, some will have to forgive me if I didn’t include them but those are the main players.
So the Sunni groups are mostly supported by Turkey. Assad is supported by Iran and Russia.
Did I confuse you yet?
So now the most radical one Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) took over most of North Syria. Those are Jihadi soldiers. Designated terror organization by the West.
So what do I say? Maybe God is making one enemy fight the other. It happened before.
Taking God out of this and you basically have clear evidence that Israel is breaking the Shia Axis. For us, if Hezbollah and Iran are fighting in Syria it means they are not fighting us.
But the most important point is that those rebels may stop the munition transfers from Iran to Lebanon and this is what Israel has been working on vigorously. Did I mention before that yhe Mossad is wining this war for Israel?
In fact a week ago Bibi threatened Assad and told him that “he is playing with fire”, suggesting consequences to him allowing Iran to use Syria as a route to Lebanon.
This almost making Israel a suspect in the happenings in Syria. This is for sure a narrative that the Syrian regime and Iran are pushing. That the “US and Zionists are behind this attack”.
But it’s a matter of time until the Jihadi Sunni decides to go and fight “to free Jerusalem.”
They are not our friends. If it was me I would hurry up and take over some of the high places in Syria and secure a buffer zone. If Syria ever wants it back then sign a peace treaty.
So the bottom line is that Iran/Hezbollah/Russia are getting weaker.
And Russia is now bombing violently the neighborhoods of the Sunnis. They just attacked four hospitals (the hypocrites who preached us about Gaza).
And Iran is apparently sending proxies from Iraq to fight.
An Israeli expert who is a Doctor for Middle East matters and predicted a lot so far is saying that the Sunnis are about to slaughter Assad and his regime and Hezbollah in Syria and whoever is in their ways. He is saying they may go to Lebanon and start revenge against Hezbollah who killed many of them over the decades in Syria. He suggested to give them the weapons that we captured in Lebanon.
I was seeing a few videos of them cheering when the beeper attack happened and when we killed Nasrallah and their leaders. They have a deep hate to the Shia enemy. They were cheering as we beat Hezbollah.
One more note. A long while ago at the heat of the Syrian Civil war, Israel operated a program to help badly wounded Syrian people to get medical attention. They would cross the border and the IDF would take them to hospitals in Israel. It was mainly women and children. But there were some occasions that Al Nusra soldiers (badly wounded) crossed the border and made it somehow into Israeli hospitals. I read that it was only a few uncontrolled cases but I don’t really know. At that time Israel took heat because Al Nusra was previously an Al Qaeda affiliate. But thinking about it now I can imagine a Mossad link to this organization. The Syrians and Iranian are pushing this narrative but there could be something to it. I have a video which shows a blown up beeper by the weapon and position of a Syrian soldier and it said that some beepers blew up before the Rebel’s attack some days ago.
I suspected the video is fabricated to make the Rebels associated with us. But it is not impossible that the Mossad helped them.
The IDF and Mossad were ordered to stop the weapon shipments from Iran through Syria.
I remember in the 60s Mossad was ordered to stop the long range missile program of Egypt. At the time long range missile were a big deal. Existential threat.
Real German Nazis were in Egypt building long range missiles.
The Mossad recruited a man who was a senior Nazi Head of the Nazi’s Special Operations.
And he helped to dismantle that threat that was the biggest threat Israel had at this time.
God bless you fiends.
“There are many options of what he can do (PresTrump) and Biden didn’t.”
Yeah … like give Blinken and Jakey Sullivan the frikkin’ boot, for starters
“See ya, nimrods … don’t let the door hit ya in the a$$”
👍
David, again you vividly point out the complexities of the challenges Israel faces. All the more reason to wait for Trump and “Hell to Pay!” if the mess in Gaza and Lebanon are not solved before Jan uary 20th.
God bless you, Israel, Bibi, Trump and the USA

Interesting. As Israel said, If Hamas wasn’t warring against us, they’d be fighting amongst themselves”.
The Nazi recruit of the Mossad. Fascinating. A moral question. Watch and let me know what do you think about the morality of this recruiting? I have an opinion and I will share once you tell your opinion.
He was the Head of Special Operations of Hitler.
Wow. What a story.
DD
Whether or not to work with a person with past evil or past cowardice is a great theoretical question. People do change over time and especially cowardly wimps who learn the pain of living with cowardice. But in the real world I focus on my duty. Never mind how I got here. To whom do I owe. Duty right now ?
The. Focus on how to accomplish the task. Cross into gray areas – when necessary. Cross a solid Thou Shalt Not – no. Lest I become that which I seek to defeat.
Very often the truth of how we got the job done is ugly and gory. And not for voyeurs or amateurs. Give it your best shot. That’s why God gave each of us an individual conscience. Use it to the best of your ability.
I have no respect for the theoretically pure who never lift a finger or get involved because it is not perfectly packaged.
Okay, I’ll try an explanation of why it’s justified to partner with an evil person to save lives. The nature of evil is selfish and greedy. An evil person would be a traitor, selling out his own country for personal gain.
Knowing this, you can create a better bait and train the evil person, in the same principle as training a dog by knowing its nature, to do things that are in the end good.
The part that stood out to me in the video is the psychological evaluation that said the Nazi had no moral compass.
I agree.
Thank you David. Please continue to update us here in the limbs. Treepers are a special breed. Wholesome, energetic, educated and MAGA. Shalom 🙏🏽❤️
❤️
What does “in the limbs” mean? I couldn’t find it in the dictionary.
In the limbs of the Tree House?
❤️ David: It’s a sort of slang for us (you included) members of The Conservative Treehouse.
It refers to the various tree limbs (of the Tree in which we are all congregating).
Does that make sense to you?
And, that video is SO powerful and important.
I agree with you.
Thank you and God Bless you for sharing your well-thought-out ideas and wisdom with us.
I learn so much from you.
🙏😃🤔🇺🇸🇮🇱
😊 David: A bit more:
limbs of the tree = branches of the tree
In fact, I more often see Treepers using the word “branch” or “branches”.
As you probably know, the word “limbs” applies to people and animals, too;
and, you probably know that “branches” does NOT apply to people and animals.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Furthermore . . . Sundance talks in the Guidelines for Comments about “… find yourself a good branch …”
See here:
“We’re developing valuable relationships as we trust one another in our community in the woods.
“The chatting in the branches encourages, strengthens and equips for some serious walking.
“We think the Treehouse is a good intellectual armory for those who [are] doing long distance walking for the sake of our nation.
“We hope you’ll think so, too.
“Find yourself a good branch….or just pull up a rock to the campfire.”

Thank you!!!
Thank you!!❤️
David, you won’t find it the dictionary. It’s another way of saying we’re here on this Treehouse blog reading and commenting.
Thank you.
You can use “limbs” to describe branches in a tree. Here in the Treehouse I’ve seen both used. 😁
Sorry David. I explained and should have read all the follow-on comments. Now you have a plethora of answers to choose from, redundancy even. 😁 ahh hanging out on this branch is just awesome. Maybe we’ll get Wordman to chime in too. 😂😎👍

David, 💕Shalom.
Very nice Patty…😀👍.. brings joy and happiness to this old timer 👏👏

Thanks, Jim. As they say, this is the most wonderful time of the year!
Howdy Patty! Hope you are doing well!
You got me hooked with all your previous videos of horse rescues. I’ve been seeking them out occasionally for months on Youtube, and watching movies on Tubi (and other streaming movie sites) wherein the rehabilitation of a wild / sick / injured horse is central to the plot…..
Have not seen you post any horse videos lately in the Open Thread, but wanted to thank you for the ones you previously posted.
I also happen to like top notch choral singing, so the Robert Shaw Chorale hit the right notes for me again.
Take care!
Thank you, GB! I miss the horse videos, too! I’ll have to see what I can find, maybe repost a couple of my favorites. Horses are just so incredibly beautiful.

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.

Amen.
PLEASE PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER
MAPA = MAKE AMERICA PRAY AGAIN
A BROKEN HEART
Refreshing rain falls at dawn;
Pulsating pain throbs thereon;
Devouring dark woebegone;
Reliving rift cast upon!
Emptiness is at best;
Openness to be blessed;
Loneliness to fill the void;
Peacefulness to be enjoyed!
Knowing not just how to proceed;
Gasping; grappling to fill the need;
Betraying all so carefully taught;
Warbling woe – dolefully distraught!
Broken bastion defiled with sorrow;
Token turmoil signals the morrow;
Desperately dangling by a thread;
Covetously clinging to the dread!
Beckoning God a cry aloud;
Hearkening the Spirit avowed;
Awakening awe to exhume;
Allowing angels sweet perfume!
Attending attention to prayer;
Prostrating prevention to despair;
Lifting listlessness up on high;
Loving lowliness with a sigh!
Repenting; relinquishing all to Him;
Releasing; replenishing to the brim;
Lovingly laying the burden aside;
Securely saving a place to reside!
Reasonably realizing the vanity;
Bordering; basking on insanity;
Refusing reproving dangerously;
Anguishing; angering anxiously!
Lovingly, knowingly His Spirit He sent;
Imposing, imploring the need to repent;
Rebuking, relinquishing the control;
Disarming, disavowing His console!
Freely forgiving the fool heartedness;
Allowing His Love to replace distress;
Remembering love can conquer all;
Without love we are destined to fall!
Love of neighbor begins within you;
Loving yourself is critical, too;
Emotionally even and adept;
Protectively proper the heart is kept!
A heart that is broken can be repaired;
By His suffering and death; Jesus cared;
For all who are hurting and feeling reviled;
For all Jesus had compassion complied!
Suffering senselessly, He gave His all;
So you must do so that you do not fall;
The deception of evil is so perverse;
Resist all temptation; reverse the curse!
Feelings are not facts, but do cloud your mind;
No rational thought will you ever find;
With your feelings rampant out of control;
There’s no turning back; no way to console!
Give all your love and honor to Jesus;
He died on the tree to save and ease us;
When you are weak; it is He who is strong;
In His loving care is where you belong!

Kurt Campbell can go wag the finger as much as he wants as Pres Trump wasn’t listening to him earlier.

If you live in a 4 million dollar home, you can afford to let someone else deep fry your turkey somewhere else and deliver it. OR, follow instructions and do it outdoors.
Impressive photos of the huge home on fire. The fire fighters fought the fire for 16 hours.:
$4M Connecticut mansion burns down after residents fry turkey in garage on Thanksgiving
December 2, 2024
https://www.yahoo.com/news/4m-connecticut-mansion-burns-down-181726190.html
The official cause of the fire remained under investigation on Monday, but a preliminary investigation determined the origin to be a turkey fryer inside the garage.
The house was deemed uninhabitable and a total loss, Blake said.
According to Zillow, the 11 bedroom, 9.5 bath, 9,378 square-foot home sold for $4,016,800.
About 40 people were home at the time of the blaze, Weston Volunteer Fire Department Fire Chief John Pokorny told USA TODAY on Monday.
No injuries were reported, Pokorny said.
Hmmm. Seems the turkey got his revenge…….
Ma is definitely an Obama-esque troll. Former leaders like that everywhere.
“Students at National Taiwan University (NTU) gathered on Tuesday to protest the arrival of around 40 Chinese students and faculty invited by the Ma Ying-jeou Foundation.
Protesters shouted and held signs with slogans including “This is not China Taipei,” “Support China’s Democratization,” “Redress the Tiananmen Square Incident” and “Support Hong Kong democracy and freedom” on the first floor of the College of Social Sciences (COSS).

Why did the admin turn off comments on the Hamas Hostage post???
Act of cowardice. IMO.

Healing Hand, as I lay in my bed this evening, I pray for Your restorative power to touch my life. Mend what has been broken, soothe what has been hurt, and heal what has been wounded.

Evening Prayer for Wholeness
Gentle Healer, with the night’s calm, I seek Your healing for my body, mind, and soul. Where there is pain, bring relief; where there is fatigue, bring restoration; where there is distress, bring tranquility. Wrap me in Your peace as I trust in Your loving care to make me whole. Amen.
Prayer for Comfort in Illness
Lord of Comfort, as I face the trials of illness, I pray for Your healing touch. Ease my discomfort, calm my anxiety, and deliver me from my afflictions. In Your mercy, may I find the comfort that leads to a peaceful rest, knowing that You are with me, sustaining and healing me. Amen.

I’m sure I have never posted a Bill Maher interview ever before. But I’m 45 mins into this recent one with Jane Fonda and am actually enjoying it and thought someone else ( my age ish lol ) might also enjoy hearing them speak candidly. Fonda so reminds me of my dear departed Mom with whom they were close. It’s like hearing my Mom’s politics to a T.
What’s really funny is to see Maher playing CENTER field and Jane is of course, well. She even joked that maybe she needed to watch some “Fox News” and Maher replied – “well, don’t torture yourself” LOL
Hard to believe Fonda is 87! My God. She’ll always be “Barbarella” to me.
Or…. “Hanoi Jane” 🙂
Was really good! Hard to believe and thankfully low on “politics” Fonda gets up to leave so won;t be late for a Rufus Wainright concert ha and Maher hugs her as she gets up and basically cops a feel ha
I guess he’ll always think of Jane Fonda as Barbarella too 🙂
KEEP PRAYING FOR TRUMP
Amen.
Amen
Amen

Amen.

Sad when weasels “plead”

EU takes issue.
“Romania’s elections “TikTokgate” continues. Social media rules out preferential treatment for Georgescu
TikTok reiterates that it acted in compliance with the EU regulation for digital services and its internal regulations for countering disinformation. However, the IMCO (Internal Market and Consumer Protection) committee is not convinced”
