It’s a simple word, “out.” It conveys multiple meanings depending on the context when used.
The rock seems unbreakable; many have hammered it before, but it remains there as a monolith, an immovable object unfazed by all the blows that take place. The ‘sword in the stone’, just reversed. Each deliberate spectator picks up the axe and strikes the rock. Each hoping to yield the blow that finally fractures it.
It is wise to remember, the blow that eventually breaks the rock is not singular. In the immediacy of the moment, the glory befalls the last holder of the axe; yet, in reality, the last blow benefits from the invisible weakening provided by prior strikes. It is wise to remember the history; the entirety of the effort.

Rest well truth warrior, surrounded by the priorities that truly matter.
O’Lord who lights our path, thank you for the gift of fellowship; thank You for the audience of friends and strangers who unite as reflective vessels, highlighting joy, support and encouragement in our lives. Help us to cherish and nurture these relationships, showing love and kindness as You have shown us. May the actions within our assembly honor You and bring glory to Your purpose.
Father of mercy and source of all human support, we thank You for Your presence in our greatest trials. Even when these challenges seem insurmountable, we see Your hand at work and we trust Your timing. We praise the strength You deliver to our faith, and we find joy in the midst of hardship which trains us to persevere. May we each grow closer to You through every difficulty, especially in these times we do not understand. Above all, help us to remain steadfast in gratitude for Your love and unwavering faithfulness in our strength – despite our human doubts.
Lord of healing, we thank You for the gift of health and the strength to carry out each day. Hear our voices today, that seek Your eternal assistance to care for the body of Abraham Williams while honoring You in all that is done. Thank You for protecting the spirit of Tulsi Gabbard and sustaining her fortitude against worldly odds. May our gratitude inspire others to live their very best purposeful life, while giving glory to You in every action.
Father of hope, we beg Your universal spirit to surround Tulsi and Abe with peace and comfort. Permit them rest and recovery in Your arms, surrounded by Your love, Your grace and Your peace. We ask that You protect them, surround them, keep all elements of physical and spiritual harm away from them; providing unto them a restoration of health and a spiritual presence within their hearts that reflects our appreciation. ~ Amen.
Let us hope they will soon be dancing on the beach.
Amen.
May Tulsi and her husband go with God.
Amen.
Occasionally, in our lifetime, we witness a truly great person, Tulsi is that one. God will protect her and her husband I am sure of.
Thank you Tulsi Gabbard, we owe you a huge debt of gratitude!
Thank you, Abraham, for supporting her, and may God envelop you with his healing hands.
Sundance, I hope you were allowed to be there to see her off, and to thank her for us. I’d like to think that you were in that photo during your swim through the piranha pool. But at any rate, that was a beautiful prayer, thank you.
I told Treehouse yesterday that Bill Pulte is at ODNI to downsize/eliminate as much as possible the Department’s intelligence footprint. It’s now happening. From CNN today:
” President Donald Trump’s pick for acting director of national intelligence, Bill Pulte, showed up at his new job a day early on Thursday after asking for a list of every employee in the office so he could assess whether to fire them, two sources familiar with the matter told CNN.”
“The sources said Pulte is eyeing to cut hundreds of jobs at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI).”
Now we know why Mark Warner and others are “foaming” at the mouth.
One thing track home builders excel at and know how to do is fire employees and subs!!
The ODNI office is the last thing that needs to be cut. Start with all of the other Intelligence agencies. Only after that do you cut DNI staff. Something doesn’t smell right here.
Yeah, I thought she had already cut the staff back by 25%-40%.
All of Federal Government needs to be cut/downsized. It’s out of control. ODNI has about 2,000 employees.
Cutting DNI staff reduces the opportunities for legislators to have “sources” within the President’s support structure.
You are correct! Where do you think the leak to CNN came from??
I could imagine that thinking you might lose your job might influence some employees to be very very careful not to appear to be a radical with undercutter issues. Sounds like a Psy-0p! Smart move.
That assessment needs to be expanded to every intelligence agency in the federal government. Too big a job for any one person, of course, so maybe the best way would be to start with Large budget cuts in each of them.
There are too many intelligence agencies!
Tulsi had to give assurances to get approved by the senate. I think she kept her word while digging up the things that need exposing. Her work is probably mostly done.
Now comes the hatchet man who has made no commitments to do the dirty deeds. Whether it is firings or exposing the evil Tulsi uncovered, we will have to wait to see.
As a rule, a hatchet man’s future is to be a hatchet man somewhere else when he finishes where he is now. By not being the hatchet man, I hope Tulsi is destined for greater things.
this reminds me of the first weeks of DOGE where they would go into a department as simply ask the employees “what do you do here?” and “what did you do this week?” and those simple questions freaked the government employees out!
I can imagine Bill Pulte asking the same questions. Winning!
Or have the IT pull up their emails for the last week. See what they are doing. The work they do on the job is the work of their employee so they have the right to pull up their emails.
Any report coming from CNN should be reviewed as suspect.. Failure to do so can result in a person repeating false information and looking like a fool… CNN has a very long history of distorting facts and flat out lied about many events of our lifetime.. Those people at CNN are like most Christmas Turkeys, stuffed full of all kinds of shyt
Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
I’d like to see the word “Back”.
So would I.
I’d like to put a “Tulsi for President” sticker on my car. She would definitely be the first female candidate worthy of the job.
Ask the other agencies to do the same. There are chains of investigators, analysts, and leadership at the FBI and CIA that need elimination.
Thank you, Sundance.
Great, inspiring words and prayer.
Blessings to you, Tulsi, Abraham and President Trump.
Xoxoxo 🙏🏻🙏🏻
A true patriot. Thank you.
She leaves behind a long, long shadow, cast in gold; impenetrable; incomparable. From the botton of our hearts thank you and may you both walk hand in hand together for many years. Thank you Tulsi, you are an inspiration indeed.
Amen!!
Let us keep praying and believing that the smashing of the aforementioned rock will continue, until completely pulverized, and may our God bless Tulsi and Abraham and their whole family with salvation, healing, protection and growth in the Truth.
New Living Translation:
Does not my Word burn like fire?” says the LORD. “Is it not like a mighty hammer that smashes a rock to pieces?
Jeremiah 23:29.
a true patriot…..God bless her.
When Tulsi first came to my attention, I was not impressed or intrigued by her. I wrote her off as another misguided, uninformed politician seeking a place to step, take some authority and have an impact on the road ahead. For me, she was another rock along the side the highway that could become dislodged, fall into the path and become an impendence to our pursuit of freedom, happiness and growth. Just another Democrat hardened by nature of socialist culture and thinking. How wrong I was, and how little did I know that in reality she would transform into the solid edifice that set in place, like the Rock of Gibraltar, protecting and sorting out the threats of access to our foundations of freedom! I pray that her replacement is an impervious to attack and harm as she was in defending our founding promises! God bless you Tulsi!
“impendence”???
Probably auto-incorrect grabbed hold, I’m thinking “impediment.”
sad day
I like your pseudonym!
Some years ago I sold a tractor (commercial truck) to Cre8 Trucking (milk tanker hauling) and have always liked their cre8tive name.
SALUTE COLONEL
AMEN to Sundance’s Earnest Prayer
TAKE CARE of Abraham, OUR PRAYERS Are with Your Family and You
THANK YOU for Your HARD WORK and DILIGENCE to a TOUGH, TOUGH MISSION
WE, U.S. – OWE YOU
SALUTE COLONEL and ALOHA
A treasure to America!
Not one for women in politics but President Trump has some very good ones. Tulsi ranks number 1. Liked Noem too. Guess she ended up with some problems. Anyway, Tulsi always spoke of great faith and leaning on the arms of a loving God. Hope and pray for strength, understanding and mercy.
NOem was finding other arms to lean into other than her husband.
Hand in Hand, it’s a true reflection in LOVE. God bless Tulsi and Abe.
A job very well done. Thank you Tulsi.
Aloha and Mahalo
Never Give Up…
🙏Amen🙏
So sorry to see her go. Take care Tulsi and God bless.🙏🙏🙏🙏
Magnificent prayer! Amen!
Father in heaven hear our petitions this day and let Your answer be Yes to them all. His Jesus Christ name we pray. Amen!
I much appreciate Tulsi’s love of country, her pursuit of truth and transparency, her integrity and strength of character. She has done great things by disclosing and declassifying many areas of govt weaponization etc. And we should rightly be praying for Abraham’s healing and their combined comfort and peace, but let us not forget they are practicing hindus. We should more be praying for their repentance and conversion to the one true God.
Amen 🥲
I will continue to pray for this warrior -this modern day Joan of Arc -and I will pray for her dear husbands full recovery. This women has been beyond belief courageous as DNI. May God keep her safe!!!
Couldn’t say it any better Sundance.
Heartfelt prayers for healing and protection for this patriot!💖🙏
What a 🪖 🇺🇲 👑
Warrior Queen!
Sundance is another warrior patriot!
🪖🇺🇲
God bless you!
🙏💕
In Jesus name, Amen!
‘Standing on the shoulders of giants’…thanks Director Gabbard
Amen. What a beautiful and heartfelt prayer.
“Dancing on the beach” – let’s hope so.
Amen!
I don’t care for anyone who apologizes for dropping the bombs on Japan.
What a wonderful warrior, by any metric.
This is a woman I would like to see as President. None others come to my mind.
Amen.
“Out.” No further communications from this transmitter, transmissions concluded, end of conversation; she was an Army Aviator to her core.
Combat medic, military police and civil affairs.
No doubt she knew the comm prowords, but not as an aviator (a fairly widespread misunderstanding.)
Yes, my mistake; but, I would have sworn I’ve seen pics of her in flight gear and cockpit of Army helos of the light type(OH-6/OH-58), maybe that was previous campaign propaganda, who knows/who cares, she did a bang-up job as DNI.
Tears. Can’t stop them. I love this woman and I hope she runs for President someday.
The country owes her a great debt.
Peace and prosperity to you Tulsi and complete recovery for your husband. ❤️❤️
Godspeed in all your endeavors Tulsi…
The plan is to use the Mueller strategy. Fauci will be brought into a hearing, he’ll look infirm, and guilty. And then everyone will say he’s too old to ptosecute. Everyone involved will get off scot free, even though every one of us knows someone injured or killed due to this. Maybe this will usher in the worldwide armageddon we appear to be heading towards
“Well done, good and faithful servant.”
Matthew 25:23.
Amen.
I became a Tulsi fan when she knee capped Kamala in the debate. May God go with Tulsi and Abraham.
I loved that moment! Every now and then, I like to watch that video again. Classic.
Outrage in Italy after Trump says Meloni ‘begged’ for photo op
https://www.yahoo.com/news/politics/articles/italian-fm-cancels-us-visit-111808632.html
DUDE!! Knock off the off topic posts!
Along with the nice prayer, it’s an excellent photograph chosen by TheConservativeTreehouse, as Tulsi and Abe look like happy teenagers in love. [On the internet, there are numerous such photographs.]
Muslim members of CAIR (a terrorist org) infiltrated the Texas GOP Convention. We the delegates updated the rules, so this won’t happen again. The Texas Tribune is now telling us how super sad the members of the terrorist org are, and how we should feel bad for them. So insane… https://t.co/ZKQ9ia8zkS

I almost feel like I lost a best friend or our family pet…..maybe not the correct words but…..like a big punch in the gut
As and old and now seldom “bold” Vietnam and Cold “Warrior” … I had some significant and serious “worries” about Tulsi at the DNI “helm” from get-go during her nomination …
But no longer …
IMO, she’s the REAL DEAL smart, tenacious … and we were blessed to have her as DNI if only for a short while. In point of fact, I’m of the opinion that Gabbard, Rubio, and Hegseth are the trio that form(ed) the foundation for the Cabinet in Trump 2.0 … but that’s just me.
