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 †

“Brothers and sisters, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth. But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. God chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are, so that no one may boast before him. It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God—that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption. Therefore, as it is written: “Let the one who boasts boast in the Lord.” – I Corinthians 1:26-31

Well, Jonrilus, this scared the hell outa me.
Is this why God is allowing the third world and islam to invade and destroy Western civilization and White culture?
If so, the game is over and forfeit.
Thanks for the response, Truli.
Actually, the above passage is about the children of God – Christians. For our benefit, and His testimony to the world at large, the Lord displays his saving power by choosing those among us who, by the world’s standards, have nothing to brag about. And He turns those people into shining examples of what His grace can accomplish in a person’s life, in a way that no one can boast about how they’ve earned it themselves – it’s all God.
What you allude to in your response is what happens when a nation forgets that its greatness comes from God and begins to take pride in its own accomplishments, as with the U.S. and other western countries. The Lord removes his blessings from those nations. “You think that you have become great because of your own efforts and greatness? Then you no longer need me,” the Lord says. And what you describe are some of the consequences when that happens. The book of Habakkuk in the old testament is a good read on what happens to a nation that forgets that its blessings come from God. It also ends on a hopeful note that says, in essence, we can still hope in God, because He is always in control, and that’s our hope.
But honestly, there’s nothing to be scared about, if you’re a Christian. God is always active in the lives of His children, with a paternal care. He even sends His angels to watch over them. And in His grace, and for their sake, nations that forget Him are not destroyed. Even during the darkness of the Biden regime, wasn’t He preparing an awakening? People, especially the younger generation, have been turning to God for their answers in great numbers, in reaction to the chaos and moral decay around them. And the Lord has given us what I call a “window” in the form of the Trump administration, where the invasion and destruction you describe is being fought against and believers are no longer being treated like domestic terrorists.
The most often given command in the Bible, to believers, is this: “Fear not.” Whatever is happening, God is in control. What is eternal is not what is happening with nations but our own individual destinies. And if your life is given to Christ, in acceptance of His salvation, then your destiny is assured, and it is great, Truli!
Fear not.
J
Thank you, Jonrilus.
I do believe in God and I believe he has answered direct prayer requests from me.
Not for myself but for others.
I consider myself a Christian tho I follow no church or religion.
I simply believe in God and Jesus Christ.
If that is enough, I’ll soon find out.
Thank you, Jonrilus for this very succinct, uplifting, and understandable explanation.
very nicely done today J
very nice

It is true that the wisdom of this world is not highly regarded by our Creator. It has pleased Him to often work through what man would call weakness. His ways are much higher than ours. What appears weakness to us is the means by which He has overcome our sin problem. He died through Jesus Christ that we might have hope of eternal life. Worldly wisdom despises this concept. Why did early Christians disobey the powers that be to walk in the footsteps of Jesus of Nazareth? Did He not promise that obedience to Him would result in an eternity of joy for His followers? It is obedience through faith that pleases God. Faith is God’s gift to those who seek Him.
Morning, Garrison.. go out and make today special
Evening, benzy 🙂
Mornin’ Dear Garrison
I thoroughly enjoyed both of these selections.
I know the young lady said she was from Italy, and it sure brought to mind some of the cantina scenes from the spaghetti westerns!
Evening dear lady . . . Glad you enjoyed the music. Italy generally produces superb musicians — across all of the genres — so your allusion to movie cantina music is entirely appropriate. 🙂
One of the best known guitar riffs of all time.. (and a song that nearly forces you to drive fast when it comes on)
La Grange is probably their best known song, but this is my favorite ZZ Top song:

As kids we would use a table knife to chip out the candies we wanted. That sent tiny pieces of candy everywhere where it would also stick.
Was that Brachs candy?
I believe it was Brachs Christmas candy……
That looks like the gold tin of Christmas Fanny May hard candy.
The round peppermints were the only ones I would eat. The rest were terrible.
As children we use to pull taffy. curl it so good.
No high fructose corn syrup / poison then…
Hi BE
I love ribbon candy for Christmas- though it is not so easy to find anymore. Cinnamon, clove, wintergreen, Yum!
Dear Soaz, Yes, yummy
My favorite, because I always knew if I asked to have a piece of candy, more than one would come along with it.
And, maybe a few chipped teeth!
yes, my dentist says sugar free and then says but it is still hard candy .. not good.
Werther’s Original at night sometimes.
I remember a gingerbread house that was just covered with those candies. It looked delectable. Unfortunately my cousins got first dibs and not a lot was left over
Padre Pio’s Final Prophecy Was Never About 2026. It Was About THIS Pope
A Saint for the ages. He promised to stand at the gates of heaven until all his ‘spiritual children’ have entered.
He was also quoted as saying that the” devil is in the Pope’s slippers”…I do not knw which Pope he then, referred to, though.
And Fatima, also focused on the family, the devil’s target….
A very profound video…
This is indeed a profound video and after watching it, I see that it was created by AI. It leaves me a bit unsettled…how much trust do I put in it.

Watching it right now, Mrs Feline. Woo Hoo!
Great crowd. Sure hope they have those building tops covered.
We’ve been to 4 Trump rallies – great fun and a chance to make new friends.
Sadly, can’t really attend anymore. With the rise in his popularity, the logistics of leaving the animals for many hours (and standing in line) are just too difficult to navigate.
If I never have to hear Hobbs’ lying little girl voice again, it will be too soon. Go Biggs!
There are some important and very good Propositions on the ballot. 🤞 they pass.

Crosby as a singer was famous for his trademark bass-baritone voice and his more conversational, intimate style. He was helped by the development of the microphone at this time and ushered in the age of the crooner.
In addition to “White Christmas” three other of his songs have also been inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame, “Swinging on a Star”, Pennies from Heaven” and “Don’t Fence Me In”.
Crosby became a major Hollywood star winning an Academy Award for Best Actor for his role as Father Chuck O’Malley in the 1944 motion picture “Going My Way”. He also appeared in seven successful “The Road to” films with Bob Hope and Dorothy Lamour.
Since Wally world has had Christmas stuff out for 2 weeks now…..
Bing/Bowie Peace On Earth / Little Drummer Boy
Bing might have been a horror show as a father, but as an entertainer, he was an American great.

Crosby and Bob Hope helped fund construction of St. Charles Borromeo Catholic Church in North Hollywood. Midnight mass at Christmas (when I went many years ago) was amazing. The church was beautiful, the choir spectacular. After my grandparents’ church evening candlelight service ended, it was just down the road and ‘Adeste Fidelis’ spans differences of doctrine, if only for one night.
An American great.

Years ago I had a neighbor that was supposedly ‘disabled’, yet he was able to sit outside all day playing and singing Freddie Fenders songs and drinking beer. As for the songs he wasn’t bad, but it still got really old quickly. He didn’t last that long in the rented house, no one did, it was not a well kept property.
Freddy was a Marine court martialed in 56 (later reversed to General discharge). He was also arrested for for a few joints of weed and did four years in Angola, LA prison.
“Wasted Days and Wasted Nights” wasn’t just poetry, it was lived. Respect.

Sit out on the deck to do that and throw the shells on the ground….
Do you boil them in salt water or apply the salt afterwards.
Cooking shows nowadays say you need to boil things in salt water to season them properly and that putting salt on pasta afterwards doesn’t cut it.
For Pasta, I have found useable instructions. 1-2 Tbs per gallon, or 1 tsp per quart. which fits in the middle. And you can taste the salt in the water, but it is not too salty.
I find that over salts rice. When you cook the water away, season the amount you would normally do. And I have yet to figure out the right way to salt the water for boiling potatoes and such.
Did you know that cooks like Kosher salt because it is easier to get a consistent pinch? But large salt grains of any type give an experience when crunching the salt that you don’t get from small grains or from any salt after it is dissolved in water. So a finishing salt brings more than just seasoning.
Dear Jim, Remembering what I read. Boil the water 1/2 cup to 1 gallon of water. Salt the water.. I am going to use CANNING SALT. I keep canning salt in my salt shaker no aditivers. Wash the raw in the shell peanuts, add them to the boiling salted water .. I am after they get hot in that salted water going to put them, salted water and all, in my crock pot/slow cooker and start on high it auto goes to keep warm after couple of hours … and I am going to leave it on all night.. recipe said overnight.
So it should work out fine … they will be here 2lb raw Friday. Will let you know… eventually
know I will have to be careful pouring all that in…. 🙂
Oh, the canning salt package may say canning and pickling salt. Canning salt without additives does not cloud so it is preferred in both canning and pickling.
plus, it is a cleaner salt taste better than sea salt too.
Thanks for all the Info.
That sounds good.
I wonder if you can cook them in the pressure cooker?
We used to buy some over in Picayune the size of your big toe.
Gus dang near lives on unsalted, roasted in the shell.
Dear Truli, Yes, there was a recipe for the pressure cooker on the list..
TY, BE!
Never had them, what’s the difference between these and regular?
These are something you peel and eat. They are still damp wet. Use to have them more often. Taste like salted peanuts hard to describe. I don’t add flavorings… if I did it would be garlic cloves and cumin .. 🙂
The peanuts are ‘green’ rather than ‘ripe’.
The long cooking in salted water softens the shell and nut.
They are not crunchy like ripe, roasted peanuts.
Not sure, but it may be a Southern Thang.
Truli :),
is that the pressure cooker recipe?
The ones I ordered are not green , but
raw in the shell.

I know you loved every minute of the cooler weather – so did your big eared babies i’m sure
But keep the little human ones warm – use lotsa hugs
The youngest of our three great grandchildren is 6 mos old. Where does the time go?
You know, I used to worry about the equids in the cold weather. We only have burros now, but have had horses and a mule in the past.
The vet told me that they handle cold weather way better than extreme heat, which is why they have a cooler in their little barn. When it is really hot, they stand right in front of it.
hah – your grand is 6 month. my ‘baby’ is 66. Where does the time go?
I’ve not had the ‘pleasure’ of keeping any animal but 3 labs, and they were ‘house dogs’. I suspect that most birds and animals handle cold better than hot

Psalm 1:1-4, 6
☘️
Those who follow you, Lord, will have the light of life.
Blessed the man who follows not
the counsel of the wicked
Nor walks in the way of sinners,
nor sits in the company of the insolent,
But delights in the law of the Lord
and meditates on his law day and night.
Those who follow you, Lord, will have the light of life.
He is like a tree
planted near running water,
That yields its fruit in due season,
and whose leaves never fade.
Whatever he does, prospers.
Those who follow you, Lord, will have the light of life.
Not so the wicked, not so;
they are like chaff which the wind drives away.
For the Lord watches over the way of the just,
but the way of the wicked vanishes.
Those who follow you, Lord, will have the light of life.
☘️ ☘️ ☘️
DAILY MEDITATION: PSALM 1:1-4, 6
☘️
Blessed the man who . . . delights in the law of the Lord. (Psalm 1:1, 2)
It may strike you as unusual to think of delighting when you think of laws. The word “law” can bring to mind a list of rules that you have to follow if you don’t want to face punishment. So why does the psalmist talk about the blessings of those who delight “in the law of the Lord” (Psalm 1:2)? Because when he ponders the Law, he sees the heart of the One who gave it. It’s the same with us as well. As we meditate on God’s law, we see how it expresses his desire to save his people; it shows his mercy and his patience. And that’s where we find delight and blessing.
As today’s psalm tells us, when we set our hearts on God, the lawgiver, he fills us with good things. We become “like a tree planted near running water, that yields its fruit in due season” (Psalm 1:3). He quenches our inner thirst for life and love. Even more, he enables us to bear the fruit of the Holy Spirit in all seasons.
St. Paul is a good example: his life shows us that delighting in the Law is not simply following a list of things to do or not do. As a Pharisee, he acknowledges that “in righteousness based on the law,” he “was blameless” (Philippians 3:6).
And yet something changed dramatically when he met Jesus on the road to Damascus. Paul realized that by fulfilling God’s plan of salvation, Jesus had fulfilled the Law as well. But that didn’t make the Law useless: Paul also came to see that meditating on that very same Law—the Law enshrined in the word of God—opened him to the Holy Spirit and produced the fruit that he talks about in today’s first reading (Galatians 5:22-23): fruit like joy, patience, generosity, and self-control.
This is the blessedness that comes to us as we contemplate God’s law. He fills us with his life and starts to lessen our desires for sin and our drive toward selfishness. The weight of striving on our own power falls away, and our love for his ways grows. Because God’s love and his desire for us to walk with him are part of every one of his decrees.
Today, let’s proclaim with the psalmist that we delight in the law of the Lord!
“Jesus, I delight in your law!”

Galatians 5:18-25
☘️
Brothers and sisters: If you are guided by the Spirit, you are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are obvious: immorality, impurity, licentiousness, idolatry, sorcery, hatreds, rivalry, jealousy, outbursts of fury, acts of selfishness, dissensions, factions, occasions of envy, drinking bouts, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the Kingdom of God. In contrast, the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified their flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also follow the Spirit.
My favorite time of year!

Perception is everything.
I ask the Holy Spirit to help me see people as God sees them so I can experience love for them.
Today I was watching an interview with Charlie Kirk and Jordan Peterson and as Charlie described his journey on campuses I saw why the crowds grew and what was the attraction.
Those people were seeking truth, ultimately love. Many even referenced love but they had no idea what it is. The young especially are desperate to learn, they hunger and seek truth because they know inherently that what they are fed is not love.
They come to these debates with blunt instruments, socialism, communism, Marxism, religion, Charlie uses the sword and they see defeat after defeat. The only way to actually be a challenge to Charlie was to pick up the sword. That sword then places them with Charlie, with God not against.
You cannot understand true love unless you have been loved. God is love. Most people were never introduced to Gods word by their parents. The word of God is not church or religion and parents were tasked with the job of indoctrination of their children with the Bible where truth resides and Gods love. Children seek it without knowing and our corrupt world substitutes every corrupt thing for what they must have. Charlie introduced that to them and those challenges were more intense by those needing that love.
That principle applies to all people. The loudest most obnoxious haters were given a substitute for love and truth is far from them. Our job is to find an entryway to allow truth that they may experience love. Truth is not relative and once they understand and experience that they will be on a frequency to seek it out. That truth may only apply to their need alone. Just like a child, which that is exactly what they are inside, you find the right buttons that reach them. Not siding with their insanity to befriend but giving them the love of truth over lies.
Parents had one job, not money and toys, children and most missed it. Our job is seeking out that child in everyone we meet and guiding them in truth.
I do not know why, but God allowed me to be a stay at home dad. I hated the thought, I thought it was a woman’s job, and it is but not exclusively. Dads are so needed. I was there for every first word, first step, first bike ride, first pitch, pass, kick, cut, stitch, tree we climbed, mud fights we had. Never did I realize how enormous that blessing was. God carried me every step of the way, and that is his promise to mothers and fathers. Healing occurs when you embrace it, rejecting it will break you. That is why Jesus is described as “the stumbling block that will crush you”.

Verse of the Day for Sunday, October 11, 2026
✟
“Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:”
Psalms 139:23 (KJV)
COMMENTARY FOR PSALMS 139
God knows all things. (1-6) He is every where present. (7-16) The psalmist’s hatred to sin, and desire to be led aright. (17-24)
1-6 God has perfect knowledge of us, and all our thoughts and actions are open before him. It is more profitable to meditate on Divine truths, applying them to our own cases, and with hearts lifted to God in prayer, than with a curious or disputing frame of mind. That God knows all things, is omniscient; that he is every where, is omnipresent; are truths acknowledged by all, yet they are seldom rightly believed in by mankind. God takes strict notice of every step we take, every right step and every by step. He knows what rule we walk by, what end we walk toward, what company we walk with. When I am withdrawn from all company, thou knowest what I have in my heart. There is not a vain word, not a good word, but thou knowest from what thought it came, and with what design it was uttered. Wherever we are, we are under the eye and hand of God. We cannot by searching find how God searches us out; nor do we know how we are known. Such thoughts should restrain us from sin.
7-16 We cannot see God, but he can see us. The psalmist did not desire to go from the Lord. Whither can I go? In the most distant corners of the world, in heaven, or in hell, I cannot go out of thy reach. No veil can hide us from God; not the thickest darkness. No disguise can save any person or action from being seen in the true light by him. Secret haunts of sin are as open before God as the most open villanies. On the other hand, the believer cannot be removed from the supporting, comforting presence of his Almighty Friend. Should the persecutor take his life, his soul will the sooner ascend to heaven. The grave cannot separate his body from the love of his Saviour, who will raise it a glorious body. No outward circumstances can separate him from his Lord. While in the path of duty, he may be happy in any situation, by the exercise of faith, hope, and prayer.
17-24 God’s counsels concerning us and our welfare are deep, such as cannot be known. We cannot think how many mercies we have received from him. It would help to keep us in the fear of the Lord all the day long, if, when we wake in the morning, our first thoughts were of him: and how shall we admire and bless our God for his precious salvation, when we awake in the world of glory! Surely we ought not to use our members and senses, which are so curiously fashioned, as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin. But our immortal and rational souls are a still more noble work and gift of God. Yet if it were not for his precious thoughts of love to us, our reason and our living for ever would, through our sins, prove the occasion of our eternal misery. How should we then delight to meditate on God’s love to sinners in Jesus Christ, the sum of which exceeds all reckoning! Sin is hated, and sinners lamented, by all who fear the Lord. Yet while we shun them we should pray for them; with God their conversion and salvation are possible. As the Lord knows us thoroughly, and we are strangers to ourselves, we should earnestly desire and pray to be searched and proved by his word and Spirit. if there be any wicked way in me, let me see it; and do thou root it out of me. The way of godliness is pleasing to God, and profitable to us; and will end in everlasting life. It is the good old way. All the saints desire to be kept and led in this way, that they may not miss it, turn out of it, or tire in it.
Commentary by Matthew Henry, 1710.

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 ONE ANOTHER
MAPA = MAKE AMERICA PRAY AGAIN
BUT GOD KNOWS
We do not know what tomorrow will bring
In reality we are not sure of anything
We close our eyes give way to sleep
There is no guarantee not even a peep
We say good-night to those we love
Entrust our rest to God above
Who knows the beginning from the end
Our entire life it is He who penned
Our days are full of challenges we know not
The what when why and how the outcome naught
As we awaken to a brand new day
It is God who is there to guide our way
It is He who brings light into our lives
It is we who strive and trustingly thrives
It is He who shows us the path the way
Who unconditionally loves us everyday
It is He who gave us our free will choice
It is He who gave us His grace to voice
Our decisions be they right or wrong
Will determine our stance weak or strong
Will we give in to temptation and quit
Will we be weak and meek not give a whit
Will we be strong and fight the good fight
Or will we be tempted to just take flight
We have no insight into what might come
We have no idea what direction from
If our lives are justified through others
If our needs are fulfilled by another’s
If we live each day in the last place
Will we ever be first in any case
Will we finally learn to love ourselves
Or leave our desires on the shelves
In every phase of life on earth
What we do will prove our worth
How we adjust to the highs and lows
Will determine which way our life goes
When stuck in a rut of sorrow and woe
We really have no direction to go
We haven’t asked God what He wants us to do
We are simply comfortable in feeling blue
We grieve our situation and that’s ok
He would not want it any other way
We seem to think we will figure it out
All on our own mind you we have no doubt
But God knows and He will wait for you
He’ll show you daily what He wants you to do
Signs and wonders before you displayed
All in the balance come forth to be weighed
Love one another is what you must do
Love one another as He has loved you
Listen to the clues He provides you each day
Being true to yourself is the only way
Now is the time to spread your wings
To set your sights on universal things
You might have no idea what that means
But God Knows what He put in your genes

The War Report Episode 673
This urgent strategic briefing breaks down Iran’s potential election plot, the 60,000 armed Palestinian Authority threat, and why the next PA war will look like Gaza.
Brigadier General Amir Avivi, founder of IDSF, reveals why IDF, Shin Bet and Mossad are in very high readiness. He details Iran’s interest to influence Israel elections, Hezbollah rearming in the north, Hamas rebuilding, and the critical difference between counter-terror operations and full-scale war to dismantle the Palestinian Authority altogether.
General Avivi also rebuts the October 7th warnings debate head-on: no specific intelligence warning, and failure to put tanks in position and maintain readiness.What Iran’s election-day threat means, what a Gaza-style operation in Judea and Samaria would mean, and what internal security risks Israelis must prepare for now.
As you all prepare for bed, enjoy a laugh. I actually laughed out loud for these:
Plastic Bag That Blew Into Modern Art Museum Sells For $10 Million | Babylon Bee
….”“It’s absolutely brilliant. If only we knew who the genius was behind the magnificent work,” said modern art collector Vance Gallagher. “This piece expresses so poignantly the nihilistic milieu arising from the existential transformation of a capitalistic culture collapsing under the weight of its own prosperity. One cannot look at this plastic bag and not be struck by the deft touch of the artist as he or she calls us to reconsider, at a fundamental level, what is truly ours. This is the vanguard of the modern art movement.”
