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 EU leaders feel so leftist satisfied with this “free” trade agreement they just signed with the Mercosur bloc of South American countries (e.g. Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, and Urugay) but here’s how that is going to work out for the EU bloc in reality. EU workers will be reduced by a net loss in offshoring to Mercosur bloc countries, a net loss in outsourcing of work to firms from the Mercosur bloc, all in addition to the ongoing loss of EU jobs due to the EU insourcing foreign worker replacements and scaling up automation.

Estimates are predicting a notable impact, especially from offshoring of economic activities from the EU to the Mercosur bloc as well as the Mercosur bloc foreign competition in certain sectors and also outsourcing of EU contracts to those foreign firms. The exact figures of total EU job losses as a result of the EU-Mercosur agreement are still being tallied.

So as public sector EU leaders snore happily on their expensive feather pillows feeling all tingly with satisfaction at another leftist sell out of EU workers, private-sector EU workers themselves may want to revisit their voting choices in the next elections given that they’re going to be out of a job soon.

Prayers work, keep them up! (should anyone be wondering about the power of prayer in these days)

Clements is a man of courage and integrity. I did not know he had been deprived of his job for defending his young students from the bioweapon jabs.

Clements also mentions Tina Peters for whose defense I pray daily.

This was a comforting and uplifting video. I am not religious in the same way as Professor Clements but he definitely moved my heart and mind. I am deeply grateful to ight that you posted this, Bessie! Thank you. The Treehouse sustains me

KEEP PRAYING FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP

lilbirdee12’s prayer:
Our Heavenly Father, Your children come to you tonight to ask for healing and peace throughout our country so that we may return to being One Nation Under God. Guide us to be leaders in Your Kingdom, spreading Your Love and Salvation to all. Forgive us our sins and deliver us from evil.
Lord, we ask for a blanket of protection over all our troops and law enforcement who serve to defend and protect us. Bless our representatives with the strength and wisdom they need to achieve the path You have chosen for us.
Please place Your Guardian Angels of Protection around Donald Trump and his family as they seek to lead America back to You. Also, we pray for Angels to protect and support our Sundance as he works for justice and peace.
Grant us patience, Lord, as the evil ones try to anger us and cause us to fall. Spread blessings over Israel and Netanyahu.
We humbly ask that You please comfort those who are grieving and in pain.
Prayers for Tina Peterson who is in jail in corrupt Colorado for political reasons. She needs to be released.
Thank you Father, for Your love and the gift of Life.
A prayer for members of the CTH that they remain strong and clear thinking and that the site remain a bastion of freedom and continue to spread the facts of our current dilemma to millions in this country and across the globe. That the light of freedom inspired by our Creator and enshrined in our founding never be extinguished by acts of man.
In Jesus name we pray, Amen.
