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 †

“Deep Thoughts”
– Jack Handey
Very, dear ERROR.
“And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”” – Luke 2:8-12
“Jesus, Oh What A Wonderful Child”
Morning Ya’ll 🙂
Hash browns, ham & cheese omelet and bacon, lots of bacon. That’s what I’m talking about!
Six pieces of bacon I’m thinking 🇺🇸😁🇺🇸
Where’s the tortillas for those breakfast items? I am in a hurry this morning.. I need that coffee in a thermos!
Flour or corn both on the counter just in case and a beat up ol Stanley with a cork stopper just waiting 🇺🇸🤠🇺🇸
Lovely, Mr jay….just what a Monday calls for 🤗💕 I’m powering up!!
Morning Bet! A glorious one this morning. Elizabeth and I just watched a bald eagle perch on the top of an oak tree and then soar across the valley. With the 3/4 of an inch rain that we got on Saturday everything is green except the red leaves. Glorious! Praise be to God1 ❤️😘
Oh my, G!!!!! 😍 What a vision!! We get hawks but no eagles. I can only imagine…
We had two days of much needed rain, and here come the leaves.
🍁 🍁 🍁 🍁 🍁 🍁 🍁 🍁
They are such majestic birds, aren’t they??? 😍
They must be – our national symbol! ❤️
lively pic, but nature is tough.
“The oldest chick often bears the advantage of a larger size and louder voice, which tends to draw the parents’ attention towards it.
Occasionally, as is recorded in many large raptorial birds, the oldest sibling sometimes attacks and kills its younger sibling(s), especially early in the nesting period when their sizes are most different.
Male eagles have been observed killing and cannibalizing their chicks.
In 2024 at the National Conservation Training Center in West Virginia, the NCTC’s Eagle Cam recorded two bald eagle chicks being attacked and devoured by their father as soon as the mother departed from the nest.
The NCTC noted in its statement on the incident that such behavior ‘has been observed in other nests and is not uncommon in birds of prey.’ ”

nature is also wonderful.

Hi zoom
When I lose one of my beloved animals, or am broken- hearted about a story concerning a tragic ending to one of God’s creatures, there’s always someone telling me how “nature” works. I’m an old fart. I really do understand reality, but…….sometimes I just choose to see the bright side. ❤️
check out the daily mail link just below – that’s an amazing bright side!
i try to balance things out.
a hard dose of reality does not negate the flip side.
but the further removed people’s understanding is of the natural world,
the more prone they are to be led astray,
to the detriment of both humans and animals.
cow flatus, polar bear populations, that kind if thing.
and this horrifying example:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grizzly_Man
p.s.: left you a reply quite a while ago, but was late and you may not have seen it.
just letting you know how highly i think of burros, donkeys, and mules.
you’re living a dream!😂
Sorry, zoom
Didn’t see your
burro/mule post.
They indeed have enriched our lives immeasurably. Not only smart, loyal, beautiful – but so loving.
Can’t really imagine life without them.
They Love pyracantha, even though it has 1 inch thorns. You’d think it was oatmeal! 😁

Maidin Mhaith Betsy saw my mothers prayer list once and figured it was an all day prayer 🙏🏻 Praise God for those who are his warriors 🇺🇸🤠🇺🇸
It is an all day prayer, my friend 🙏🏻 My list which I keep on my head grows longer each day 🙏🏻
IN my head, that is…
Mornin’ Bets 💓
🤞 that postimage is working for me.
Morning, Corny 💕 Drinking coffee and knowing things…trés important, girl.
Looking at kitty’s face, I’m frightened to ask what he knows 😬😼
Bets,
He knows everything! 😁
Oh dear!! 😂
Howdy jay!
Howdy Gramps tell me are you noticing how people are feeling better and laughing more I sure am! 🇺🇸🤠🇺🇸
I sure am. Everyone at the health club is much happier.
😎——thanks, jay ❣️
Bacon (especially) soothes the inner beast.

Hey Patience I’m really enthusiastic about Christmas of 2025 because the White House will be gorgeous again 🙋🏻♂️🇺🇸🤠🇺🇸
Me toooooo❣️❣️❣️❣️
Was just showin Ma
the other night
photos of the artful… room-enhancing elegance of White House Christmas past.
✝️❤️🇺🇸
Jay,
We say good-riddance to the thieving trash
Mornin’ Patience
Wow! That picture sure gives one the creeps – oh wait…….so does he.
Hello there, Lady💞
Him (them) to a T
Amen, trash is correct!!!
Where is a flame thrower dog when you need one..
Me too, Patience. Those of “ahem” a certain age can remember Jackie Kennedy presenting the refurbished White House to the Anerican people.
Would that Melania might hostess a tour of the White House for us. She exudes grace, taste, and class. A new day. Can’t wait!
Love that bench, Jay. There is such an aura of stillness – you can just imagine the soft crunch your boots would make in that snow. And……yes to a refill on coffee – do you deliver? ❤️
Here’s your delivery 🙂 🙂 🙂
Wow, thanks Jay. That’s what I call service! ❤️
Hey Treepers, hope you’re all well. Just want to sound the alarm with what they are doing to the kids: The road to pedophilia: where the LBGTQ movement has been hijacked to lead us:
Here an ACLU lawyer argues that children as young as two know whether they are trans or not, and that castrating them is their choice:
https://x.com/EndWokeness/status/1864105115025625321
The goal is getting rid of age-of-consent laws by pretending kids are actually “little adults”, mature enough to decide anything for themselves, so that when they are raped by actual adults its “consensual”. That’s what this is about: legalizing child trafficking and granting unhindered, all access backstage passes, to children. This will destroy society at its base: the next generation.
Here is how horrific it is getting, the WHO is teaching children to masturbate from birth via the school system, meanwhile pedophilia is being piecemeal decriminalized:

This cannot stand. We’re going to have to get in this fight and meet this head on.
I’m all in with you and I’m doing my part.
Thank you for posting this.
🤝✝️🤝
Join it. We have. 👊✝️👊
Excellent, Frank 👍🏻💕🙏🏻
Thank you, Frank!
Good morning, Griever 💕 This is who they are, these demon filled creatures, monsters all. They know each other naturally and gather together as enemies of a loving God to destroy those who have seen Him last.
The door barring them from their heinous intent was kicked open with Justice Kennedy’s unconstitutional, emotionally fuelled pronouncement on “gay marriage”. That’s when the subterranean evil rose from the darkness where they have always been, ripped it off its hinges, and moved on to their primary purpose. They were just waiting for the green light…and they got it.
satan knows his time is short…ergo the hurried implementation of all which is godless and wicked beyond any sane person’s imaginings. We see them now. They are not hiding any longer. All the better to fight against their hideous abominations.
Blessings to you always, my long absent friend…
So well said, Betsy. Time is short so the gloves have come off. We must meet these challenges head on, we were put here at this time to face them, and God is watching closely.
How have you been?
Trudging along, dear sir, thank you for asking. Taking each day as it comes and being grateful for each one 😌 I do so hope you are well 🙏🏻…it gave my heart quite a lift to see you here this morning after so long, I must tell you. Just so you know that I’ve missed your presence in these leafy branches. Friends come and friends depart for reasons unbeknownst to us. But they always remain firmly in our hearts and in our memories. I am so glad to know if I look over at yours, you’re in residence 💕🌲 If I don’t see you before Christmas I wish you a healthy and peaceful one and for all whom you love. Bet 😘
Thanks Betsy! The bastards attacked me in late September causing me to end up in a hospital for 7 days. When I emerged I found I lost my home and job so I am scrambling to scrape by. Maybe this is for the best, it got me spending a lot more time on my knees and a lot more time writing and sharing this work to try to expose them. The real victim though is my son who I can now see much less of.
Thank you for your kind words, I miss you guys as well. My brother never worried about goodbyes because, he said, I will always find them again, in this life or the next. Words to live by.
If I don’t see you before, have a wonderful Christmas and I wish the best to you and all of those you hold dear. Tri 😘
Oh jeepers, Griever!!!!!!!!! Well, my heart is breaking into pieces. As Shakespeare wrote “When sorrows come, they come not single spies But in battalions.” And I am bereft for your troubles, dear friend, especially that you are unable to see your son as much. I know the heartbreak of it, believe me. The most powerful thing I can do for you is to put you atop my prayer list 🙏🏻 You will emerge from these terrible trials I know, even though I’m sure it may seem not at times. We never know what God intends for us but what you are doing now with this is righteous. I hope you will continue to post as the spirit takes you, and if you are able or willing to keep us abreast of your situation….for which you may count on me and fellow Treepers to pray mightily for. You are my brother in Christ, and He has not left your side. God bless you always….from my heart to yours 💕😘
Thank you, I hope so too but time will tell. It always does.
Best to you and yours, from my heart to yours.
Jesus said His followers would be required to deny their selves and carry their own cross. Matthew 16:24-26 This includes our sexual desires. God has made provision for this in marriage. Those who reject God’s revealed will in this are committing sin. It is human nature to make excuses for sin and we have reached a time of apostasy where the professing church is declaring that God overlooks our sin and loves us in our sins and everything is ok. Open fornication between those who “love” each other is ok in God’s eyes, they think. The Bible plainly states in 1 Corinthians 6:9 and 6:18 that sexual sin will keep folks out of Heaven. For those who have accepted Christ, we are only sinners saved by Grace. We battle with our flesh, repenting of our sins, and seeking God’s forgiveness. God’s power is sufficient to help us overcome in these matters. Repentance seems to be a lost cause among so many. May we seek daily to please our Lord, confessing our sins and seeking His will. This world is not a friend to Grace but presumes upon God’s mercy and deny His power to help us overcome the flesh.
Thank you for this, Freeman
Jesus saves to the utmost…those who are cognizant of their great sinfulness and realize their great need, love God greatly. Luke 7:47 Those who do not recognize their great need of forgiveness, love Him little…
A beautiful Truth, Freeman …
It’s not that a person has more sins than another, or the sins are more evil.
We all have sinned and fall short of God’s holy standard.
But some recognize -profoundly – what it cost our Savior to pay for those sins.
And they love Him deeply.
(Jesus)
“I tell you, her sins—and they are many—have been forgiven, so she has shown me much love. But a person who is forgiven little shows only little love.”
Luke 7:47 (NLT)
Griever – Yes to all all of this excellent post.
And, I hope the Trump administration makes “finding” the 325,000 missing children and exposing that evil a top priority. 🙏
Thank you and same, I really hope he does. Best to you and your family Soazburrolady!
And to yours – ❤️
Always learning something new ..I don’t remember ever seeing this instrument before, Garrison, thanks to you and others for continuing my education 👏👏👍👍…
🇺🇸💪😀👍
Stringed instrument makers are technically called ‘Luthiers’… I had to look up the spelling & found this:
“… most people are not really familiar with this part technician part artist of an occupation.
By definition a Luthier is someone who builds and repairs stringed instruments such as violins and guitars. The word originates from a middle ages popular instrument called Luth (in French) or Lute. It resembles the Oud still common in the middle east. There are two main type of stringed instruments, Plucked or strummed and Bowed (although some of the bowed instruments can be plucked as well).
Luthiers do not make Pianos and Harps.
… As with other crafts that border art, it is rarely the certificate or degree that makes the difference.
…
Who can call himself/ herself a Luthier?To some, a mere formality, a sensitive subject for others. It is understandable if someone who has been crafting musical instruments their whole life is outraged by anyone who had just build his first kit guitar and calls himself a Luthier. On the other hand no credentials are needed, there is no graduation, certification or exam to indicate it.
Is it the number of years or instruments? Is it the quality of work, the fine tuning of the instrument. Are there no mediocre Luthiers (like there are in any other craft and profession)? Do you have to do it professionally? Considering the ‘Guild of American Luthiers’ is open to anyone.
It seems anyone can ‘Call’ himself a Luthier, whether he or she is worthy of the title or not.
Personal disclaimer: The writer of this post is not a professional Luthier. If anything, I would say ‘I dabble in Lutherie’. ‘The Electric Luthier’ is concept, not a title, and if offends anyone’ I do apologize. ”

Thanks, AmaraGrace. ♥️
There is so much knowledge to be gained at this wonderful site. Treeperpedia!
Amen to that …👏👏👏…I grew up 40’s and 50’s Jazz thru R&Roll 😂..but always appreciated music…just didn’t have patience to learn and practice any instruments…
🇺🇸💪😀👍
Morning, Garrison 💕 ☕ What a beautiful sound the lute has 😌
Mornin’ Bet. Somewhat softer than a classical guitar, lutes (theorbo in this case) definitdely have a distinct and beautiful sound. Have a great day. love. 🙂
Howdy Garrison!
Howdy, Gramps 🙂
Howdy Garrison wishing you all the best my friend
🇺🇸🤠🇺🇸
Howdy jay. Same to you, friend. 🙂
Just wow, Garrison! The pragmatic in me wonders how long it takes to tune such an instrument.
Original drummer, Jerry Granelli, from “A Charlie Brown Christmas” soundtrack. A memorable jazz piece entitled….”Linus and Lucy.”
Love it.
Makes me want to watch “A Charlie Brown Christmas” when I get home after working all night !!

That was a radio airplay popular tune, way better ones that never made the radio due to length 9ish minutes.
This is probably my top favorite off Use Your Illusion album that had a Terminator movie track on it.

Israel Update:
Hello my friends, It has been a while. It’s time for an update!
This will be dedicated to the Syrian change. You probably know a lot since Trump did nail it correctly strategically, but there is some more information that you will not see in the US.
I will start with a description of what is happening.
The Situation:
-Basically the Iranian Axis is falling apart. This includes Russia in the Middle East too.
This by itself is a victory for Israel who has been involved in a 7 fronts war against the Iranian attempt to destroy Israel (Iran, Gaza, Lebanon, Yemen, Syria, West Bank, Iraq).
This brings about a pendulum swing and the Sunni Muslims are the main emerging force in Syria.
Of course we understand that we broke the Iranian Axis to a good degree.
Their Hamas is almost gone (Even when we killed Sinwar they couldn’t respond), Hezbollah was pushed out of South Lebanon and about 80% of it’s weapons/munitions are destroyed, all their upper and a lot of their mid level leadership are dead. They just lost their main weapon smuggling route from Iran via syria to Lebanon.
And, I would dare say that they lost the Biden/Kamala/Obama protection and are facing a Trump Administration that is “more pro Israel than many Israelis”. They will have to
re-evaluate if they want to survive. There are already sounds in Iran who may rebel and throw this regime out. Remember, they spent tens or hundreds of billions in Syria, Lebanon, Gaza, etc… and it’s almost all gone. Iranian money spent on foreign wars and not on Iranians.
Most Iranians hate it.
The emerging forces in Syria are fractured to many groups of rebels. The main force is Sunni Islamic Jihadi force. Syria is turning into Afghanistan with the difference that there are some other strong forces there like Kurds, Moderate Rebels, etc… But overall the main victor is Jihadi. But the Jihadi force is not to be compared to Hezbollah. They don’t have hundreds of thousands of missiles that endanger Israel. They don’t have a history of messing with Israel.
They don’t have tunnels, almost not. They are supported by Turkey which is another factor but Turkey is in NATO and as such it’s subjected to some pressure which Iran wasn’t.
Time will tell if Syria will arrive into an operational situation or endless internal wars.
God just turned our enemies against each other. Biblical!
Who is the strongest conquerer of Syria:
A Rebel group by the name Hayat Tahrir al-Sham. ״Sham” means “The Greater Syria”. The greater Syria is a historic name that includes Israel. Its leader has a few names and the latest is Abu Muhammed Al-Golani. Notice that he changed his name to this name and the word “Golani” stands for the Golan Heights. His family was displaced out of the Golan in 1967 after Israel won the land. This indicates a mental connection to that area. He used to talk about getting the Golan back. But stopped talking about it as he was busy with Assad.
He was arrested by the US at some point and released.
He was close to the leader of ISIS when he was younger. When ISIS became a problem he made his organization affiliated to Al Qaeda. Then he split off them and tried to appear a more “moderate” to the West. Tried to say that he “just wants to get Assad toppled”.
He just appeared on CNN and pretended to be a moderate who wants to “unite Syria”.
He said that “his ISIS affiliation is just a stage in life of a young man in his 20s.”
His people are all about Islam and Islamic State. Do you believe him that he is a moderate?
I don’t. So Israel must be prepared for a new situation on its Syrian border. We understand Jihadi mentality.
Israel’s Strategy and actions:
Israel is not taking sides. Israel is happy to see that Hezbollah and Hamas are now isolated and decimated. Israel is worried about the upcoming regime and is acting to secure its Syrian border before the Jihadis take it and use it. Some were already seen. Assad people moved out of the border area and left a vacuum. Israel is concerned that the chemical weapons of Assad and its missiles and missile manufacturing facilities will fall to the Jihadi hands and will sooner or later be aimed at Israel. After all Jihadists eventually want to “march to Jerusalem”.
Israel moved forces to the Syrian border. Including the famed Division 98 (The Commando Division) that handled Khan Yunis in Gaza and Rafah and South Lebanon. Israeli forces are moving into Syria as we speak and there are some serious air attacks deep in Syria and I will explain.
The strategy is to be prepared to the Jihadists and create a buffer zone by the border before we have jihadists hanging around the border. Last that we had Jihadists on the border in Gaza it didn’t end well so we are different now.
Additionally there is a historic opportunity to clear Syria of all anti Aircraft missiles and pave the way to an attack on Iran’s nuclear sites. Syria skies will be free to cross over to Iran.
The border is at the Golan Heights. Israel is sitting on Mount Hermon (it’s in the Golan Heights) and this mountain has another pick that is much higher and strategically overseas all of Syria to Damascus and overseas Lebanon and Israel. Who sits there dominates the area. Israel now conquered it with no resistance. And forces are creating the buffer area. There are engineering tools already working on making a strong buffer area. The idea is to “be there temporarily until a peaceful neighbor can be trusted to sit there”. Israel is no longer tolerating terror organizations and armed Jihadi fanatics on its borders.
This is by the way a part of the “Israeli image of victory” in the eyes of its enemies. Israeli flags on strategic areas in Syria. Division 98 soldiers have now operated in Gaza, Lebanon and Syria. They are making history.
Second, Israel is attacking chemical and missile manufacturing facilities and munition stocks deep in Syria. Over 100 air attacks since Assad fell. (Notice that there is a Black Propaganda campaign against Israel as if “those attacks are to help the Jihadists”. But the areas that are attacked are already in Jihadi control. It’s not helping them, the opposite). Also other strategic assets are attacked like Advanced Air Defense systems, we don’t it to fall in wrong hands. Israel collected a lot of Intel on Syria over the years and it knows what to attack.
As a note, there was a window of time to fortify positions. Not only Israel. The Kurds with US Air support also took over lands which were occupied by Assad. They too are preparing for the future and taking strategic areas. They by the way are the big enemy of Turkey who is the main sponsor of the Jihadis. Turkey is saying that its supporting of the Rebels is against the Kurds who want their own Nation in Syria and into Turkey.
The future:
The future is a revolution in Iran. No one knows when but it will happen sooner or later because of the demography in Iran, various tribes and the bad regime. Israel will likely strike Iran’s nuclear facilities which there are reports that they increase operations in there. I have more than one source saying that it will happen after the Inauguration in the US. When and if Iran will respond we can take their oil fields out which will neutralize their economy and be “the last nail in the coffin”. We also need to complete clearing South Lebanon. We stopped because of Biden. We shall see about this one.
By the way I can brag a bit as I did post here over a week ago that the “Rebels will win and take over Damascus”. I also posted here for over a year that “Iran is a lion of paper”, that “they have no ability to start a WW3”, that “the Russians will not get involved in the Wars of the Middle East under the circumstances in Europe”. Iran couldn’t win against Iraq for years. The US crushed Iraq in a couple of weeks. Only a nuclear Iran is a threat, a real threat. But they have an old equipment. Only their missiles are a problem.
-To end off I will do something that I don’t usually do. I only did it once.
There is a Shia cleric by the name Muhammad Ali Al-Husseini. He was in Hezbollah in Lebanon and started preaching for peace, so they arrested him and eventually he fled to Saudi Arabia. The man is gifted with predictions. I don’t have a habit to follow on psychics at all but I have not seen this man making any error.
He predicted the killing of Nasrallah a few days before it happened and told him “to write a Will because the decision was made”.
He predicted that “Sinwar will die alone after months that Israel will wait patiently for an opportunity”.
He predicted that “Israel will attack the missile defense systems of Iran”.
He predicted that “Israel will invade Lebanon”.
He predicted that Israel “Will conquer parts of Syria and the high locations and the Qunaitira Village area.” And it was not logical when he said it. I remember.
And last and not least, he predicted that “Israel will attack the Iranian nuclear facilities”.
Yet to come. I just thought that his rightness gives him a small place on my report.
Biblically speaking Iran will face something for what it did. It’s not going to pass.
Shalom and God Bless Israel and the USA.
Although it seems to be a good development for Israel, one wonders. Syria was already carved up into 5 to 8 different spheres of influence, everything from the Kurds to ISIS remnants to US soldiers keeping ISIS remnants at bay to ..? Is the consolidation of the Sunni jihadists as the governing body of Syria a good thing? As “Not All There” Joe said – the jihadi Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) group is saying all the right things now , but we will need to watch what they do.
One thing that puzzles me to no end is Turkey’s Erdogan supporting HTS and trying relentlessly to destroy the Kurds. Turkey is a member of NATO – so what are they doing supporting what many have categorized as a terrorist organization?
Upon reflection, it does seem smart for Israel to destroy weapons of mass destruction in Syria and reduce their defenses to a stone age level technology. And to take the high ground when the opportunity presents itself as it has.
You are getting it! Smart!
There is no good thing in Syria. It’s the lesser of two evils.
I don’t say that the Shia is more evil than the Sunni or otherwise.
But the alliance of Iran/Hezbollah/Hamas with Russian support had a lot more power than the others.
Hezbollah and Iran had more missiles than NATO. And Iran is working on nukes.
When looking at two evils, the one that is more powerful is more evil as it can cause more damage.
Now in a decade or few the Sunni bloc can become strong. But by then a lot can change. We are solving a present time problem. And we want to end the wars. But with a victory and a hope of peace. In the Middle East only the strong get peace and even this is temporary.
I forgot. Turkey is a foreign body in NATO. It should have been dismissed long ago. Their government is semi dictatorship with the leader killing opponents. He is inspiring to see a Turkish empire old style. Turkey in history committed genocide on the Kurds and there is a blood hate of generations. The Kurds want independence in Turkey and Syria. There are some Kurdish terror organizations against Turkey. Turkey hosts Hamas they are bad news. Another note, the US just attacked ISIS from the air and threatened the players to avoid joining forces with ISIS. The US don’t want it to grow again. Everyone have different interests in Syria. ISIS was never an Israeli problem. The number of ISIS attacks on Israel is negligible compared to other enemies. ISiS targeted Americans. But Israel does arrest some ISIS people here and there in Israel and West Bank.
Shalom.

WOW! Extravagant.
☀️ 🇺🇸 🇮🇱 🎶 David: I’m so glad to get all this from your accurate research.
Yes, I remember you saying those things about Iran being a paper tiger and the other predictions.
I appreciate your valuable insights as you watch this 7-Front War from inside Israel.
We are very fortunate to have you translating the truth for us.
I’m relieved that Israel has taken the peak of Mount Hermon in the Golan Heights! It is the ideal vantage point overseeing the whole area!
Can you tell us yet what kind of engineering tools are being used to create the buffer zone?
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Have you heard anything about Al-Golani having a high-dollar ransom on his head from the USA?
And, no I do NOT think he’s moderate!
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
❤️🇮🇱 I’m so proud of Bibi, the IDF, and all of tiny, precious, courageous, and cunning Israel in laying the groundwork for this important step toward dismantling nuclear Iran and freeing the Iranian people to rebel and throw out Khomeini.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
And, David, was this you a few hours ago?

Seeing the number of up-votes looks like a lot of people may think that was you.
I didn’t think so. But I want to verify with you directly.

🙏 God Bless you and Protect you, David, and your Family and Friends.
God Bless and Protect all of Israel, all of the Kurd territory, all of the Druze, all of the Christians, and all the Muslims that want to live peacefully with Israel.
Thank you, God, for all the successes and miracles so far including setting it up so that our enemies are fighting each other.
God please Continue to Provide all miracles as are needed, including dismantling Iran’s nuclear program and ousting dictator Khomeini.
God thank you for providing clear vision and courage to share it to Muhammad Ali Al-Husseini.
God Bless and Protect all of the USA including President Trump and his Family.
Amen 🙏
🎶 🇮🇱 🎶 ”Am Yisrael CHAI!” = “The People of Israel LIVE!” 🎶 🇮🇱 🎶
Thank you so much for the kind words about me and Israel. It warms my heart!❤️
The engineering tools, bulldozers digging barriers to vehicles. Probably will fortify positions too and dig for soldiers. I bet there will be surveillance cameras and some boobytraps by the border. Israel intends to also prevent heavy munitions beyond the buffer zones. It will be attacked. No missiles in the vicinity of Israel.
No, that David was not me. I almost always have the eagle symbol, icon.
I forgot. Yes that Rebel leader has a 10 million bounty on his head in the US. I think he was also involved in fighting against the US in Iraq. I know for sure that he came there at the time of the conflict and was not on the US side.
God bless you with health and joy.
Fantastic post David. I think we need to be watching Russia. Putin is a wounded bear. Russian air defences in Syria and Iran proved useless. His sea port in Syria lost. So much investment poured into countries that has now been lost. Much of this initiated by Turkey, a Nato member.
Putin knows that the prolonged wasting of resources in Ukraine allowed this. I’d be very concerned in the west right now. I am certainly not pro Syria or Iran, but we have to be realistic. Russia will be looking for a way to retaliate. A very delicate time in history for sure.
Thanks as always for the ground reports. Much appreciated.
DD
Thank you. The Russian problem is in Europe no more Middle East.
Russia is only a nuclear threat. I think that Trump will work with Putin and solve this problem.
Just an opinion.
There are only a few things clear to me regarding this new Syrian ME cluster mess:
Death. Bloodshed. Martyrdom. Homelessness. Rape. Broken families. Crooked people expanding their wealth as merchants of death.
Damn. ✝️
Yes. We are in a bad neighborhood. A tribal area of “the strong survives”.
David,
So pleased you showed this am. I’ve been wanting to get your perspective on this evolving issue. Your knowledge and clarity are most appreciated. Thank you. 🇺🇸 🇮🇱

THE ORIOLES – “CRYING IN THE CHAPEL” (1953)
This group was special since they were from my home town Baltimore. I always thought they were one of the best doo-wop groups because of the quality of their voices. I cut my pop music teeth on Doo-wop (on my 1957 tiny transistor radio) because that’s what WCAO played at night….
Who is your favorite reggae outfit?
Well, I do not seek it out but I do not find any of it revolting either, local radio station has a reggae day as I always keep it tuned in 24/7 … they also have a IDK middle eastern day too … also not revolting but not riveting either.
I would put it in the category of elevator music to me.
As for my selections for an artist to post, I either pick one that I like, or one that is highly rated/viewed on Utube.
Try The Upsetters or Big Youth.. I like the older stuff. Early Ska ain’t so bad..
I dunno about “favorite”?
But Desmond Dekker took silver vinyl to new heights with this one 🙂
Great post!!! I just love this song, been one of my favorites for many, many years.
The Swedes had such a pop sensibility. This record is a perfect example.
Hello reed … finally caught you!
Today I read your late Sunday p.m. post, and wanted you to know you’ve been in my thoughts.
Because this forum is public, we’re limited to sharing … I understand.
But, I’m good at reading between the lines.
I’m guessing your early years were similar to mine – chaos.
Same song here, but different tune.
A gentle, friendly suggestion: consider another “life theme song.”
I did – and have several that speak to my heart
Like this one:
[No One Ever Cared For Me Like Jesus]
I would love to tell you what I think of Jesus,
Since I found in Him a friend so strong and true;
I would tell you how He changed my life completely,
He did something that no other friend could do.
[Refrain]
No one ever cared for me like Jesus,
There’s no other friend so kind as He;
No one else could take the sin and darkness from me,
O how much He cared for me.
All my life was full of sin when Jesus found me,
All my heart was full of misery and woe;
Jesus placed His strong and loving arms about me,
And He led me in the way I ought to go.
[Refrain]
Ev’ry day He comes to me with new assurance,
More and more I understand His words of love;
But I’ll never know just why He came to save me,
Till some day I see His blessed face above.
[Refrain]
Reed, I used to love the blues, too. And saw B.B. King in Atlanta. And Muddy Waters.
But, now, I need to hear songs of deliverance and victory. That’s just me, tho.
Blessings, reed.
Bless your heart Miss.Della!
I wouldn’t trade for anything or with anyone. I LOVE the stuff I’ve been through and with Jesus seeing me through it all ( what’s that old sayin? “Somebody up there likes me”? 🙂 before I ….
( and as one of la familia’s best rock groups once sang ) “Break On Through – to The Other Side”.
What’s not to love!!
“I’m a bad luck boy – born under a bad sign” I love that record lol. I was also steeped in the blues as well as country music – and I ended up “Country-Blues” 🙂
Thanks ever so much for the reply ! and have a blessed evening MissDella – I enjoy our catching up 🙂 and look forward!
I’m with you, reed.
Wouldn’t trade it …
Everything in our lives has shaped us, and hopefully for the better!
I was just checking on you to make sure you’re in a good place!
Your brief post gave me pause.
🥰🥰
Oh, I should have been asleep! Thanks I was digging up bones, exhuming things, that’re better left alone lol
Speaking of which! 🙂
Oh yeah … love this!
Randy Travis and George Jones are the top two country music singers of all times. IMO
It’s sad about Randy’s health struggles, too.
My hubs always liked David Allen Coe, haha.
He’s a little rough for my liking.
Maybe count sheep instead of diggin bones.
Or maybe count illegals being deported …
George ( possum ) Jones is in my Top 5 for sure! and Travis had some terrible physical affliction I had heard that. A shame.
That DA Coe is a bit ragged around the edges ha but that smash hit “You never even call me by my name” is really good 🙂
Oh, but then there’s also “take this job n shove it” lol, That’s pretty genteel, no? 🙂
Here’s a record started it all for Jones. Best performance too 🙂
“White Lightnin'”
“take this job n shove it” …
Oh, I used to sing this song a lot during my working years!
Could eat nails at times.
Thankfully, made it till retirement. 😂

Gustaf Dalén
(1869-1937)
Swedish physicist and industrialist (AGA, Nobel Prize in Physics 1912), dies at 68
Biography: Gustaf Dalén was a Swedish industrialist and inventor, known for his contributions to lighthouse technology. He was awarded the 1912 Nobel Prize in Physics for “his invention of automatic regulators for use in conjunction with gas accumulators for illuminating lighthouses and buoys.”
Dalén initially managed his family’s farm before pursuing a technical education. Encouraged by Gustaf de Laval, Dalén attended Chalmers University of Technology, earning a Master’s degree and a Doctorate.
In 1906, Dalén joined the Gas Accumulator Company (later AGA) as chief engineer. By 1909, he became the managing director of AGA, transforming it into an innovative company in Sweden. Dalén’s work primarily focused on acetylene, a hydrocarbon gas used in lighthouse illumination. He invented the AGA cooker and the Dalén light, which included the sun valve, allowing the light to operate only at night, significantly conserving fuel.
Dalén’s inventions revolutionized lighthouse equipment with their reliability and efficiency. His “Dalen Flasher” reduced gas consumption by over 90%, and his sun valve-equipped lighthouses could function unattended for extended periods. AGA lighthouses were eventually installed in locations such as the Panama Canal.
Tragically, Dalén lost his sight in an acetylene explosion in 1912 while testing safety devices. Despite his blindness, he continued to lead AGA until his death. In recognition of his achievements, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1912.
Dalén married Elma Persson in 1901 and had four children. He was a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences and had over 100 patents to his name, including the AGA cooker and the Dalén light.

Al Unser
May 29, 1939 – December 9, 2021
American auto racer (Indianapolis 500 1970-71, 78, 87), dies of cancer at 82
Biography: Al Unser was an American automobile racer, known as the younger brother of Jerry Unser and Bobby Unser, who were both also racing drivers. His son, Al Unser Jr., was also a race car driver.
Unser is best known for winning the Indianapolis 500-Mile Race four times (1970, 1971, 1978, 1987). He was the second to have achieved this feat, and the fourth to have won the race in two years consecutively.
Alongside Unser’s siblings and son, two of his nephews have also competed in the Indianapolis 500: Johnny Unser and Robby Unser.
I was @ this race in 1987 for his last win as I attended starting 1980 ish to the late 90’s only missing rainout rescheduled races.
The race I remember most was 1985 as Danny Sullivan’s spin & win year, he spun out between turn 1 & 2 which was in full sight to our seats.

People Told Mom Not To Let Pittie Near Her Baby | The Dodo
My neighbor’s pit bull bit off part of his girlfriend’s son’s face.
The dog was put down by animal control.
That is a bummer. The dog in the video isn’t a pit.
In my professional experience it depends on genetics and pet parenting, just like kids. Some are messed up from the giddyup, mainly those reared by liberals.
I have never put a rehomed or rescue dog, especially bully type dogs in a babies face. Ever. I don’t know what that dogs hangups are as I didn’t raise them.
I got bit in the face by our cocker spaniel when I was 5 because I piled the couch cushions around the dog trying to make him disappear, just like David Copperfield made the Statue of Liberty disappear the night before on television.
I had to beg Pops not to pet the dog on the head with the shovel.
Greetings Treepers! 🙏✝️🙏

🇺🇸🙋🏻♂️🇺🇸
We had a bench in here somewhere on the branches…so…from the Great Lakes region…for a maritime Monday, and back aft, Old Glory flying beautifully, in the mid west wind…
For those merchant mariners out there and memory lane for me…a real heart breaker…The Conservancy did the best they could…I remember that tour my dad gave us…and how clean and bright the children’s playroom was…I was about 5-6? As I recall, the engine room was pretty clean, too.
As in all great things built in America…She still holds the transatlantic record, both ways….from her maiden voyage. America’s namesake. The ship builder was all about safety and had a huge aversion to ship board fires and built her with that in mind. I wonnder if that is where my dad got his philosophy about ship board and engine room fires…
My dad had been offered a job with the company but decided to take the offer from the Panama Canal Company. Thinking back, I think the guy who hired him for the canal, had inside knowledge of the US Lines being sold and shared that, meaning job security was not assured. That was also when the American cruise industry went thru many changes.
The tugboat on the port side, looks much like what my dad served on during his Canal days…at about a minute…the tug crossing the bow..
The horn starts around at a minute.
I crossed the Atlantic on a ship many years ago. Cunard lines. A wonderful experience, and in the middle of winter with huge waves as there was a big storm, and the ship was warned to look out for missing fishing boats. Many passengers stayed in their cabins with sea sickness. I was unaffected and never missed a meal.
You realize how powerful nature is when you are on a ocean- going vessel and it is tossed about like cork by waves, which make the ocean alternate between ‘valleys’ in the water to waves rising to the the size of 6 storey buildings. We also had a couple of days of fog and listened to the romantic sound of the fog horns.
The crew put canvas shields around the deck(s) to prevent any passengers and crew being washed overboard( I suppose they have a special name). The captain walked out everyday with amazing skill in remaining upright 🙂
It is very hard to walk when the bow was heaving up from the action of the huge waves. You can hardly place one foot in front of the other. You feel like lead. But when the ship is descending quickly into a ‘ocean hole’ you are almost forced to run down the deck as you feel as light as a feather.
Apart from all that, the food was amazing and I enjoyed the experience, even though trying to dance with an orchestra had to be cancelled after a few tries. Furniture etc that was not fastened down, was
sliding all over the place and drinks were sliding of the bars and table when not securely grasped.
I love the sound of the horns, and I would definitely sign up for a voyage crossing the Atlantic again.
The sound of a senior dignified ship.
I heard that horn in person in 1965 at the RMS Queen Mary’s berth on the west side of Manhattan NY. It literally vibrates the ground under your feet…..
Not only that, but I got to tour some of the ship before it sailed with my father and paternal grandmother on board, headed to Europe. To describe the ship as “majestic” is an understatement. Yes it was designed in the 1920s and built in the early 1930s but being a teenage budding engineer, I thought it was awesome.
A year or two later my dad and I went up to NY one weekend to take photos of several passenger liners that happened to all be docked at the same time. We saw the SS United States, the SS Michelangelo, the SS France (another awesome ship), and a few slightly smaller liners I don’t recall (the photos are in a box somewhere in my basement). Those days are long gone. The jets took over….

I only access TCTH and the Gateway Pundit.
And will watch a little Fox News now and then.
I don’t read any magazines, newspapers, etc. or watch MM on the television.
Should I be accessing Truth Social or another website for news?
Thanks.
Try Citizen Free Press. It is a substack of news. Kind of neat.
Border Hawk website is a news aggregate site.

HHC 2/16 – I’m not far behind you…
I have found that avoiding all corporate media news sites (even Fox) is good start to eliminating Globalist / Establishment bias.
Besides CTH and Gateway Pundit, I have found the Bongino Report and Revolver News to both be reliable purveyors of fairly well-vetted reporting.
I use Epoch Times as my only newspaper website source as it has proven far more truthful than any other print media I’ve ever tried. They require a modest subscription but I find them worth it.
I occasionally also visit Breitbart .com
Check all these out – I have attached hyperlinks to every source I named for your convenience just click on the name of the site.
This one has deep meaning for me…an episode my mom and I often watched and cried over…Mom hung on until Dec. 26…waiting for me to get there…trouble getting a flight on Christmas Eve…got one Christmas day…when I got there, and told her it was me I got a faint hand squeeze. It stays with ya…17 years later.
Every day is a gift.

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
BE MY VOICE

CHILD NOT CHOICE
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.
PLEASE PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER

LEAN NOT ON YOUR OWN UNDERSTANDING
So many times we think we know better
But in our minds we see not the fetter
Trapped in a world of utter madness
We see no way out only sadness
We think we are smart can figure it out
Without God’s help we really have no clout
For it is in His Word where answers lie
Simply the what and when and how and why
His ways are not our ways nor His thoughts
Without discernment we remain tied in knots
The answer to what is plaguing us
Is found in His Word and rightly thus
We think we can flourish all on our own
Taught this from childhood until we are grown
We wonder why we continue to fail
Our sacred source sadly of no avail
We lean on our own understanding
Knowledge is rarely ever expanding
We have no clue how to reach higher
Wisdom eludes we’re left in the mire
We must trust in God with all our hearts
From whom knowledge initially imparts
From knowledge comes the understanding
And wisdom erupts ever commanding
What is it that brings us life and success
With what ability does God rightly bless
The conviction of Faith in things unseen
The assurance of things hoped and have been
So if our leaning is all on our own
We miss out on what Faith has truly shown
We miss God’s vast unconditional love
His Fatherly assistance from above

Such travesties committed against these innocent men.
May we all take this time to pray for our Christian brothers and sisters in Syria. As Syria is overrun by Al-Qaeda and other Islamic terror operatives, Aleppo, a place of great importance in Christianity history, is in shambles.
As the Archbishop has asked:
“Why is Aleppo being so tormented? Why do they want to destroy this historic, symbolic and important city for the whole world?” Archbishop Mourad questioned. After 14 years of war, he lamented the continuous suffering, misery, and death the Syrian people have endured.
The Archbishop placed responsibility for the tragedy not only on the Syrian government and rebel groups but also on foreign powers, including the United States, Russia, and Europe.
“They all bear direct responsibility for what happened in Aleppo,” he stated, calling the situation a “crime” that endangers the broader region, including Hama and Jazira. He condemned the international community’s “political games,” which he believes have deepened the suffering of Syrians.
In his diocese, Archbishop Mourad has worked to rebuild Christian communities shattered by the war, initiating catechism courses for children and young people as a foundation for renewal. However, he fears that recent events will drive Christians out of Aleppo for good.
“After the action of these armed groups,” he said, “the Christians of Aleppo will be convinced that they cannot stay. That it is over for them. In Aleppo they are trying to bring about the end of the rich, magnificent and unique history of the Christians of Aleppo.”
“Why are we so abandoned in this world, in this unbearable injustice?” he asked.
https://catholicvote.org/syrian-archbishop-this-is-the-end-of-the-great-history-of-christians-in-aleppo/
““Why are we so abandoned in this world, in this unbearable injustice?” he asked.” and he asked and he asked and she asked and we all ask, and have it seems it’s been asked since forever. I know and understand that the vast majority (if not all) is the result of our own and collective doing – these can run into generations. My one gripe unfortunately is “why” why, why do “good” people need to suffer along with the “bad”. Of course the answer is to found in the words of Duchess’s many wise poems – like the one above. Certainly the archbishop is no stranger to the sentiment, and neither are many of us, yet it is very hard to “see the good” in such unnecessary destruction – OR, perhaps it is necessary – most often our short and limited life wisdom cannot grasp or understand the “big” picture. This is when faith becomes our only lifeline, when all those years of “practice” are called to perform. It’s showtime baby.
This just in:

Here comes the crackdown towards”on the radar” candidates to bolster the narrative. Pictures.
““Although Potra, who worked as a mercenary in the Congo and is a former member of the French Foreign Legion, has yet to be formally charged, speculation over just what he and his associates were planning has fueled headlines in Romania, adding to the muddy swirl of rumor and allegation circulating in the country.”

Evenin’ Bessie
Three years ago, my otherwise healthy daughter (in her 50’s) was diagnosed with pericarditis days after spending Christmas with her 3 daughters – all of whom had just taken the clot shot in order to keep their jobs. I have no doubt that this was not coincidental.
(She had not taken any “slab jabs.”)
Ordinarily I am bon vivant. Some have even said the “life of the party”! Ha. We all have our moments, no?
I also am familiar with the concept of “normalcy bias”. A condition that suggests a belief, that although something has not happened before, it then is unlikely to occur. Well, I’ve never seen World War Three! But I sure know it when I see it.
I’ll let Randy Newman go out with a big finish 🙂 Listen everyone to Bert the Turtle and –
Duck and Cover!
No one likes us-I don’t know why
We may not be perfect, but heaven knows we try
But all around, even our old friends put us down
Let’s drop the big one and see what happens
We give them money-but are they grateful?
No, they’re spiteful and they’re hateful
They don’t respect us-so let’s surprise them
We’ll drop the big one and pulverize them
Asia’s crowded and Europe’s too old
Africa is far too hot
And Canada’s too cold
And South America stole our name
Let’s drop the big one
There’ll be no one left to blame us
We’ll save Australia
Don’t wanna hurt no kangaroo
We’ll build an All American amusement park there
They got surfin’, too
Boom goes London and boom Paree
More room for you and more room for me
And every city the whole world round
Will just be another American town
Oh, how peaceful it will be
We’ll set everybody free
You’ll wear a Japanese kimono
And there’ll be Italian shoes for me
They all hate us anyhow
So let’s drop the big one now
Let’s drop the big one now
“Following Assad’s ouster, Erdoğan says only two leaders left in world: ‘Me and Putin’
After Syria’s Assad was ousted, Turkey’s Erdoğan said there were only two leaders left in the world, him and Russia’s Putin. “The others have all been eliminated,” he said.”

He forgot about President Trump.
He’s not going to forget for very long……..
Biden’s Paranoid Pardons and Leftist Morality.
by Victor Davis Hanson
“Pardons as Incrimination
The final irony?
Biden may well pardon a variety of cronies who will not be indicted by the Trump Department of Justice, but who, by acceptance of such exemption, will remind the American people of their culpability if not criminality.
Anthony Fauci likely lied under oath about his role in subsidizing illicit and undeniable gain-of-function virology research in communist China.
Gen. Mark Milley clearly violated his oath of office as an advisor to the president by improperly breaking, and inserting himself into, the chain of command by ordering theater and unit commanders first to report directly to himself in supposed existential crises rather than to the Secretary of Defense.
Most Americans would deem it actionable for a chairman of the Joint Chiefs to stealthily contact his Chinese communist, People’s Liberation Army counterpart in order to warn him about the supposedly unstable nature of his own president and commander-in-chief and thus to assure the Chinese that American officers would nullify any presidential directives that they themselves diagnosed as improper…”
