Worthy Is The Lamb


Revelation, chapter 5

The Lamb Opens the Scroll

1 Then I saw a scroll in the right hand of the one who was sitting on the throne. There was writing on the inside and the outside of the scroll, and it was sealed with seven seals. And I saw a strong angel, who shouted with a loud voice: “Who is worthy to break the seals on this scroll and open it?” But no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll and read it.

Then I began to weep bitterly because no one was found worthy to open the scroll and read it. But one of the twenty-four elders said to me, “Stop weeping! Look, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the heir to David’s throne, has won the victory. He is worthy to open the scroll and its seven seals.”
Then I saw a Lamb that looked as if it had been slaughtered, but it was now standing between the throne and the four living beings and among the twenty-four elders. He had seven horns and seven eyes, which represent the sevenfold Spirit of God that is sent out into every part of the earth. He stepped forward and took the scroll from the right hand of the one sitting on the throne. And when he took the scroll, the four living beings and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb. Each one had a harp, and they held gold bowls filled with incense, which are the prayers of God’s people. And they sang a new song with these words:

“You are worthy to take the scroll
    and break its seals and open it.

For you were slaughtered, and your blood has ransomed people for God
    from every tribe and language and people and nation.

10 And you have caused them to become
    a Kingdom of priests for our God.
    And they will reign on the earth.”

11 Then I looked again, and I heard the voices of thousands and millions of angels around the throne and of the living beings and the elders. 12 And they sang in a mighty chorus:

“Worthy is the Lamb who was slaughtered—
    to receive power and riches
and wisdom and strength
    and honor and glory and blessing.”

13 And then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea. They sang:

“Blessing and honor and glory and power
    belong to the one sitting on the throne
    and to the Lamb forever and ever.”

14 And the four living beings said, “Amen!” And the twenty-four elders fell down and worshiped the Lamb.



And the beast was allowed to wage war against God’s holy people and to conquer them. And he was given authority to rule over every tribe and people and language and nation.

And all the people who belong to this world worshiped the beast. They are the ones whose names were not written in the Book of Life that belongs to the Lamb who was slaughtered before the world was made.

Revelation 13:7-8



Think’s Thoughts…

Socialism – Communism offers nothing to compare with the majesty of this scene depicted in Revelation chapter 5. This moment has been revisited by believers in the liturgy of the church for millennia. For the faithful, anything less is a cheap substitute.
Perhaps this is why in totalitarian countries all of the color, majesty and joy of life is squeezed out by the oppressive burdens of living in fear and deprivation. Let us war against this by celebrating the creation and the created beauty it has inspired.

Wolf Moon | Threat to Demonocracy

AMEN! <3
(And thanks!) 😀

Deplorable Patriot

This is what comes to mind with “Worthy is the Lamb”. Someday, I have a story about this one 😉

Alison

DP – I am showing my lack of education about singing in a choir (or singing – period – for that matter!!), but I have never seen a piece of music like this where people are singing from the same music sheet, but reading separate lines with different notes. I assumed each person holding their black music books was looking at sheet music “for one”.
What are the four designations? I’m going to guess soprano, tenor, alto, bass but what do I know?!?
I suppose one gets used to automatically finding the line/notes pertaining to them but it looked a tad complicated to a non-singer like me!
This is a beautiful piece of music. I await your story 😊

TheseTruths

It is beautiful! Handel’s Messiah (which is also where the “Hallelujah” Chorus comes from) is a magnificent work from start to finish. It is also what I think of when I hear “worthy is the Lamb.”

Deplorable Patriot

The Hallejuhah is the end of the prophecy, #44. The last time I sang it with the symphony, nobody looked at the music. This one is the finale.

Deplorable Patriot

And I would say that the Hallelujah Chorus is the easiest one in the whole thing, but “And the Glory of the Lord” might be. IDK, there’s a couple that get cut in part III that are not so bad. Some of the others are not.

Gail Combs

As a young girl in a childrens choir I sang the Hallelujah Chorus Alto part among other pieces. Since I can barely carry a tune that was quite an effort. My piano teacher was the choir director and was desparate for altos so I got drafted. She sent me home with the music to practice singing while playing it on the piano. Poor Mom!
She has us doing some very ambious pieces — in Latin — for Christmas and Easter.
Even though I am pretty much tone deaf, I have a great appreciation for music thamks to that teacher.
Her husband BTW was French and served with the Americans in WWII as an American Citizen. When they went to France he was arrested and tossed in jail as a draft dodger. Her hair literally turned completely white during the fight to get him free again.

Deplorable Patriot

Yes, this is how just about all choral music is scored. Soprano, alto, tenor, bass. If there are more parts, i.e., Sop1, sop2, alto1, alto 2, that is how it is scored.
In the case of Messiah, the score or music is actually a book, and if it’s the Barenreiter edition it’s HEA-VY. In earlier centuries, singers would have been handed just their own part, but by the 18th I’m pretty sure they’d get the whole thing.

daughnworks247

Dep, I’m so glad you’re here to explain all of this to us. Interesting parts we never understood before. Thank you.

Deplorable Patriot

What, reading music scores? I’ve been doing it since, like, sixth grade. I guess I’m floored this wasn’t covered in middle school at the very least.
I mean, conductor’s scores…that’s a different animal all together. They are always stacked highest part to lowest, doesn’t matter what the piece is. Well, in choral music, solo lines will be at the top of the staff.

GA/FL

Handel’s Messiah was said to be written in a very short time – 24 hours!?
Someone said, it’s as if it was always written…always intended to be. It carries the power of the Word of GOD and the sound of many voices….
My favorite piece of music. My daughter and I have often compared various recordings, voices. She prefers Christopher Hogwood and the Academy of Ancient music version with his English singers….soprano Emma Kirkby?
Years ago, we were privileged to hear the Messiah in Atlanta directed by Robert Shaw, a master choral director. In person, with the symphony orchestra, it was unforgettable.

MA_kswiss

Many thanks for sharing this…..and your notations for a preferred rendition….it is inspiring to listen to and an answer to my personal reflections in preparation during Holy Week. Will be queuing it up to listen to it today….
It sounds like a chorus of angels, indeed……

Deplorable Patriot

Handel was just like the rest of the composers, they reused stuff all the time. I’ve sung stuff of his that was reused for Messiah and old habits kick in, so that may have been part of the briefness of the composing, but the piece is almost three hours long. If he actually wrote it in only 24 hours, Divine Intervention would have been involved.
There was an Italian composer, I think it was Donizetti, who wrote an opera in a short time. What he really did is went to his file cabinet and pulled out everything he hadn’t used yet, and VIOLA! Instant opera.

GA/FL

Legends abound in both music and church tradition.

GA/FL

Usually the Messiah is performed in parts, Easter and Christmas versions.
For Good Friday, I love this glorious piece by Mozart:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6KUDs8KJc_c

Deplorable Patriot

Good Friday????? That’s technically for Corpus Christi, or Masses with readings on the Body and Precious Blood. One of the most GORGEOUS motets ever composed.
I have a few in mind for Good Friday. 🙂

GA/FL

I love this one too:

Deplorable Patriot

Yep. Haven’t done that one in a while. It always amazes organists that I can sing the cadenza a the Amen in time.

Deplorable Patriot

Yes, one of the first I learned. I LOVE the Adagio, “Tu Virginum Corona.” Sumi Jo and Kiri are good choices. So is Sylvia McNair, Leontyne Price, and Renata Tibaldi.

GA/FL

Very difficult piece to sing. Where did you study?

Deplorable Patriot

I studied privately. If I knew then what I know now, I would have tried for the conservatory in Barcelona. The teachers that really knew what they were doing with me, which was two out of the five or six I’ve had, both studied in Italy.

GA/FL

Christopher Parkening’s version is deeply moving….

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

K. 618 would make it one of the last pieces he wrote.
K 626 is the famous Requiem, which he was halfway through composing when he died. A worthwhile listen for a different occasion.

Deplorable Patriot

Which version of the Requiem? Usually, the Sussmeyer is what is used.
Yeah, last time I sang that, we’re going along, and looked down at music for the first time in about 20 bars or so, and, I’m like, where in hell are we?

Deplorable Patriot

The Exultate Jublilate is K165, not 618. I knew it could not have been late. That piece changed music as a whole forever.

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

The video’s on-screen title (part of the video) says it’s K 618, so that’s why I said what I did. Pretty serious error on their part.

Deplorable Patriot

Yes, it is. The Exultate was THE first piece of the truly “Classical” period. It was the transition from the Baroque in pretty dramatic fashion.

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

Sucks to be unfashionable me, then!

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

Viola? I see what you did there….

SingularZoe

Wow. Remember Robert Shaw in school. Emma Kirkby my favorite singer.

SingularZoe

DP., thank you. I was at a low ebb this morning. This is so uplifting. Didn’t Handel write it in 11 days or something? I remember performing it in high school–it was such an amazing experience. Please, everyone, pray for my brother, Charlie, who is drinking himself to death. He needs salvation, conviction from the Lord. He was taken to the hospital after he almost died and checked himself out immediately. Thank you for prayers. I have tried everything. He lives far from me.

ladypenquin

SingularZoe, will pray for your brother, Charlie. Addictions are terrible afflictions. As loving family members it’s very difficult to know our loved ones are suffering.
My son, Stuart, is going through a terribly sad time right now, and we’re 3,000 miles away.
I dedicate my prayers this week to all who are suffering, and needs the Lord’s Strength and Comfort.

Jan Phillips

Still praying for Stuart, Lady P!

ladypenquin

Thank you, Jan. He talks to his sister almost daily, and she’s been a big help. I am concerned… he is very sad.

Jan Phillips

Lady P, thank the Lord for sisters! I have one daughter to my three boys, and she is a nurse (a real one!) and a loving comforter to her brothers, too.

ladypenquin

Yes, his sister has been a rock for him through this.

grandmaintexas

🙏🙏🙏
You haven’t lost hope for him, and that is powerful. The angels take note of that.

Jan Phillips

Amen, GM in T!

Aubergine

I am very sorry about your brother.
Having dealt with addicts, I am very sympathetic to your feelings. Sadly, there is really nothing you can do. He must do it for himself.
Some hit rock bottom and come back up. Some, sadly, we lose. I will pray that your brother finds the strength to find his way to a meeting somewhere, so he can let go, and let God.
Please be gentle with yourself. You have done all you can.

daughnworks247

Amen.

Jan Phillips

Yes, Zoe. I am praying for Charlie!!

SingularZoe

Thanks to all–for all the prayers and kind words. Rodney, I will be praying for you, too, also for Stuart. Love to all of you. I know I should post separately to each of you, but afraid of leaving someone out of my thanks. You all mean so much to me.

Jan Phillips

Love you, too, Zoe!!!

SingularZoe

Love you, too, Jan, and all of you.

Rodney Short

Prayers.
I know the struggle well, this is the 4th time I have fallen off the wagon and I know it could be my last.

Rodney Short

Thank you, I have so much going on in my life, your prayer was definately uplifting.
I always been told God wont put on you more than you can handle.

Jan Phillips

DP, that was glorious!! My husband and I listened together this morning after reading about when the Apostle John saw that Worthy Lamb!!!!!
I can’t wait to hear your story about it!!!

Deplorable Patriot

Okay, so it was the last rehearsal before performance, which is orchestra and chorus, and it was getting late. Union rules about rehearsal time limits are pretty strict (for good reason, actually). We were running through that movement and hit the bass entrance to the Amen, and EVERY HEAD on the stage, and I mean every one, turned in unison to look at the clock. The union rep was standing underneath of it looking at his watch. That was the one chorus we needed to go over and had to stop at the alto entrance. It was one of those you had to be there things. But, since the conductor that weekend was Itzhak Perlman…. The Sunday afternoon performance of it is one of my favorites. #48, “The Trumpet Shall Sound” was PHENOMENAL. Kevin Daes was the bass. Just flawless.

Jan Phillips

OMG!!! If you could see my arms, DP. They are covered in goose bumps!!! Thank you for telling us. I felt I was THERE!!!

Deplorable Patriot

I will tell you, though, that being on the stage doing all of that in concert black with the stage lights on is hot and sweaty work. After the Beethoven Missa Solemnes, I felt like I had been hit by a Mack truck. That was when the orchestra consented to having the AC blowers actually on during performances. It was 100 degrees, easily.

Jan Phillips

I can imagine!!!!

“Socialism – Communism offers nothing to compare with the majesty of this scene depicted in Revelation chapter 5. …”
________
That’s because Socialism & Communism are based on lies and appeal to people’s baser instincts of Envy and Covetousness.
I think of Socialism as the sexy handmaiden of Communism, because socialism is used to lure people into the eventual communism that follows.
Socialism ‘sounds’ good.
But it is a deception…a deception designed to make people surrender Control over their own lives.
This is why Socialism/Communism only survive by force and totalitarian rule.
Once people figure out that they have been deceived…then it takes force to enforce their continued submission.
Free Will.
This is one of God’s greatest gifts to us.
God Himself chose not to force us into worshiping Him or following Him.
But there are those here on earth who seek to intrude into his realm and force us to submit to their rule.
There are even SoCom control freaks who try to use God for their dark purposes.
This is why Capitalism is really the best system of govt for us flawed humans.
It is only Free Enterprise that affords us Free Will…and does not intrude into God’s realm.
Capitalism is not perfect…but then, neither are we.
At least with capitalism, there is the Hope that if we work hard, we can prosper and provide for ourselves and our loved ones.

Sylvia Avery

“That’s because Socialism & Communism are based on lies and appeal to people’s baser instincts of Envy and Covetousness.”
I think you are really onto something there, Wheatie.

JasonD

Well put ..
If I may add (for what its worth??), capitalism is so efficient that it frees us from “want” – in the sense that our basic needs are addressed and then some – setting us free to use that time for …. what?
So, again with freedom comes responsibility to put it to good use. The potential AND risks appear to be great …

rayzorbak

Under socialism…. everyone is so busy TAKING “Free” stuff…….
And NOBODY is MAKING anything……..
Soon…. the “Free” stuff runs out.
Then people must be FORCED to MAKE stuff.
The whole system is doomed to fail.

T3: ditto!

Kalbo

Yes, stunning!
Simply in awe of President Trump’s successes across the spectrum of issues.
Simultaneously (yea, over the couple years, if that can be simultaneous), the whole Mueller SC investigation has been beyond frustrating.
– MCM, talking heads, politicos in perfect unison working against President Trump.
– On the surface, and as information was leaked out, 100% BS.
– Yet it went on, and on, and on…
Now, a few months of “news” revealing the treasonous actions by many.
Methodically, a foundation for accountability was being put in place. We are seeing it played out.
And, come out it will!
So, very much looking forward to the treasonous bastards being arrested, tried, convicted and punished to maximum extent allowed…prison and wealth stripped…completely.

Ukraine appears to be key. I think that Assange has been safely secured by the white hats. I thought it before, now I’m sure.
It would be very convenient for the Brits if the scandal is able to be mainly a Ukranian thing and only a stray Brit Steele) contributed to the setup and not the Five Eyes. Wot! Wot! Tosh!

Kalbo

The Brits are hoping they “get away” easily with a simple deflection to an individual.
Don’t think that is in the cards.
To prevent this from happening again, everything must come out. Brit complicity, Aussies…
P!ss on’m!

grandmaintexas

I so agree.

slowcreekno

Good summary of recent events, I really enjoyed reading that and recapturing all what has been done. Now with the Mueller report coming tomorrow, another one of the latches holding down the lid on the Storm is loosened.
Though I suppose we are still on an uphill part of a rollercoaster track, where the chain is pulling the car steadily skywards, and the safety pawls go «clack clack clack clack…»

ladypenquin

I think highly of Jeff Carlson. He has his wits about him, knowledgeable and logical. Unseen1 _ unseen on twitter is also a good person to check in with. Another common sense conservative, who doesn’t get lost in the weeds.
Both of these guys are pretty much on the same page as the Q-Treepers. Not necessarily about Q, but certainly about POTUS’ and his competence – PLAN.

I just followed her. If she follows me back, I’ll invite her. I did send word to “Deborah_UntamedSD” from CTH. but no response. She may not even check DMs. I had no idea about DM messaging and how to check them until several months ago. LOL.

“As the idea of packing the courts starts to become a more mainstream position on the Left, Democrats are now laying the groundwork for such a move by lying about Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s efforts to confirm conservative judges.
On Tuesday, the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, the campaign arm seeking to return Democrats to the majority in the Senate, tweeted that “Mitch McConnell’s court-packing agenda” was to “Confirm extreme right-wing judicial nominees as quickly as possible…”

Of course, we ALL know, Harry Reid was the one at fault. He blew up the nuclear option in order to confirm radical judges.

Patrick Buchanan: Mayor Pete and the Crackup of Christianity
‘”(T)here is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so,” said Hamlet, who thereby raised some crucial questions:
Is moral truth subjective? Does it change with changing times and changing attitudes? Or is there a higher law, a permanent law, God’s law, immutable and eternal, to which man’s law should conform?
Are, for example, the Ten Commandments of the Old Testament, Christian teaching and natural law unchangeable and applicable to all men at all times? Or can some of the 10 be consigned to the dumpster of antiquated moral prohibitions?
This question has been brought straight into the presidential primaries by Pete Buttigieg, breakout star of the spring of 2019.
“Mayor Pete” is proudly gay and living happily with his husband.
He says God made him the way he is, and he is living the life God intended for him. Raising the same-sex marriage issue himself, the mayor defiantly taunted Mike Pence:
“Yes, Mr. Vice President … it has moved me closer to God. … That’s the thing I wish the Mike Pences of the world would understand: That if you have a problem with who I am, your quarrel is not with me. …Your quarrel, sir, is with my creator.”
Buttigieg declared his candidacy Sunday, and his bid ensures that America’s deepening moral divide will be front and center in 2020.
Our culture wars will not be ending anytime soon…
We are becoming another people, and a post-Christian America appears to be our destiny well before the end of this century….
…In the lifetime of many Americans, homosexuality and abortion were still scandalous crimes. They are now cherished constitutional rights.
Yet, Mayor Pete’s assertion — that God made him gay, and God intended that he live his life this way, and that this life is moral and good — is another milestone on the road to a new America.
For what Buttigieg is saying is that either God changes his moral law to conform to the changing behavior of mankind or that, for 2,000 years, Christian preaching and practice toward homosexuals has been bigoted, injurious and morally indefensible.
If Pete is right, since the time of Christ, Christians have ostracized and persecuted gays simply for being and behaving as God intended.
And if that is true, what is the defense of Christianity?…”

Yes, the churches that capitulated to the gay mafia have done untold damage.

Deplorable Patriot

It’s not just the Germans and the Americans. Right now, it’s most of the west. It stems from the group that plotted to bring us Vatican II, did so, and finally got one of theirs elected in Jorge Brogoglio. Prior to Benedict XVI, they used to meet as guests of the Archbishop of St. Gallen in Switzerland, hence being known as the St. Gallen mafia. Most of them are dead or have aged out, but the damage they did will take generations to undo.
https://akacatholic.com/godfather-bergoglio/

grandmaintexas

True. The whole thing is just heinous.

wheatietoo

First they asked for ‘tolerance’.
And it was given.
Once tolerance was achieved, gays quickly shifted to demanding ‘acceptance’…and have tried to force us to accept their lifestyle as normal.
Now they are claiming that “God made them gay”…?
This is preposterous.
If God ‘made them gay’ then why did he put them into bodies that are designed for heterosexuality.
If homosexuality was a part of ‘God’s plan’…then why didn’t God create bodies designed for gay men, with an orifice that is solely for their pleasure instead of for a bodily function.
He is God after all.
He could have done this.
Pat Buchanan is right…Buttigieg is taunting Pence…and taunting all hetero Christians.
He is baiting us.
If we take the bait and challenge his outrageous claim, then we will quickly be labeled “homophobic”.

REMEMBER – the first commandment was, “Be fruitful and multiply.”
Romans 1:16-32 describes the steps on the road to perdition and the origin of deviant desire/sexuality is the refusal to worship GOD and to follow GOD’s design in nature.
People like Buttigieg and others who pretend to be religious, but still engage in this lifestyle, are really in rebellion against GOD. They are following their own conditioned responses and emotions.
The same for all other sins, urges and proclivities that GOD proscribes.
Better, eternally speaking, and much healthier and less risky, to please GOD than to go one’s own way.

I just read a comment somewhere that this pos’s dad is/was a communist professor … he a COMMIE‼️ …. bottom line … 🤨‼️😖‼️

In order for one to reconcile the amoral as a moral lifestyle, one has to reinvent “god” and make him into their own “image” rather than the fact we are made in God’s image.
Mayor Pete is actually going against Darwin – someone who the Lefties hold in high esteem for their refuting of the existence of God. The reality? Darwin’s Law actually coexists quite nicely with God’s law. Survival of the species is threaded through both perspectives.
Mayor Pete’s way of life sets the course for the extinction of the species. God’s (and Darwin’s) pathway means survival.
He can attack VP Pence all he wants, but the truth is VP Pence has the RIGHT to live his religious beliefs, as we all do, and why old Pete hates Mike Pence, is because he can’t make Peter feel any better about his choice of lifestyle. It’s was one thing for asking “us” not to condemn them, but it’s another to demand we condone…
Not going to happen. What we’re seeing is the tyranny of the minority. Historically that doesn’t work out.

Sylvia Avery

“It’s was one thing for asking “us” not to condemn them, but it’s another to demand we condone…”
or as Wheatie posted above, “Once tolerance was achieved, gays quickly shifted to demanding ‘acceptance’…and have tried to force us to accept their lifestyle as normal.”
It just infuriates me. I have no problem giving them tolerance. I can hate the sin and love the sinner. But being DEMANDED to not just tolerate but agree that it is just fine, AOK, hunky dory, perfectly normal….well, I can’t do that.

ladypenquin

And we don’t intend to. The churches who have lost the most membership are the ones who’ve turned into SJWs.
My hubby is very active in his Church, United Methodist, and they’ve just gone through their bi-annual governing General Conference, where homosexual marriage was the big, big issue. At that the end, the Conference decided to stick with Scripture. Of course, all the soundbites and news’ headlines only talked about the people who want this to be changed. The Conference may ultimately split over this issue, similar to the Anglican Church of America has split with the Anglican Church of England.
Once a church (any denomination) decides to rewrite Scripture – Old or New Testament – then how can they consider themselves Christian, or even Jewish? The Old Testament clearly defines Moral Law and a Moral Compass. Jesus’ Coming didn’t eliminate morality, in fact, He followed the Law, and His Message was meant for Redemption from Sin.
We talked about when is a church or denomination not really Christian anymore? My hubby has said he would have to leave his church if they go this route. That’s big coming from a Southern-raised forever United Methodist believer.
As a simple Christian (Catholic), I believe we can’t say we’re Christian if we’re jettisoning everything the Bible teaches. Can we?

Sylvia Avery

I agree completely.

GA/FL

Yep, they have to do hermeneutical gymnastics in order to foment pansexuality, abortion and eugenics.
They claim David and Jonathan, Jesus and St. John, Ruth and Naomi were ‘g-y’.
It’s apostasy, blasphemy, heresy and syncretism – any way you look at it.

Sylvia Avery

You’re right. It is. This guy scares me. He seems smarter and slicker than the rest of the field. And frankly, to me, more evil because of the way he is using Christianity and twisting it.
I’m hoping the oppo research uncovers something really awful about him that destroys him quickly. I look at Kamala Harris and I do not think she is ready to go quietly into that good night. I think she thinks the nomination is HERS, and she has had a lot of fund raising so she should have money for oppo research and dirty tricks.
And then there is this theory:
“Rush Limbaugh thinks Team Obama may be strategizing a Michelle Obama run for president in 2020. The radio host said Barack and Michelle are so ticked off that Trump won that they “want back in….”
In recent weeks, many have wondered why Barack Obama has not come to the aid of his former vice president, Joe Biden. On his own speaking tour in Europe, Obama told a town hall group in Germany he’s worried Democratic presidential contenders are becoming too “rigid” and creating “a circular firing squad.”
As the mainstream media deify a different Democrat candidate every other day, the Obamas have stepped up their appearances here and overseas. In general, neither has shown support for any particular candidate. With Michelle’s venomous attacks on the rise again, Rush might be right about her….”

“I was looking out over the city, London, a beautiful city, and the thing I love about it is truly representative of true international diversity in ways that you don’t see in cities mostly, in particularly even in the United States.”
But then aren’t they all trying to run on this.
She’s sick and so is London.
These people are going to do everything in there power to make this nation as dysfunctional as possible prior to the election so they can fix it.

ladypenquin

Sylvia, don’t let these people seed fear into our lives. I’m not worried about Obama or Pete, or any of the others. It’s what they want – for us to be afraid. IMO, it will take an extraordinary person to come close to be a threat to POTUS.
This is all psy-ops on the part of the Left, MSM. The Dems have a problem, and it isn’t MAGA. They have their core base, but quite a few Democrats are not the crazies, and they’ll either stay home or vote for DJT. The whole mood of the country has shifted since POTUS became President, they’re not going to shift it back into the dumpster.
Michelle? No. they’ll float her, but she’d rather preen herself onto the covers of magazines. She isn’t going to do the hard work of campaigning. The Obama’s are celebrities, but not the political animals they once were. That ship has sailed. What are they going to run on? Obamacare? Not too popular. Medicare for all, there goes the senior vote, who are already horribly treated in the Medicare second-class status.
We have to keep the Dems from getting into our psyche. POTUS has got this. Just think about what’s going to be revealed.

they started with abortion…if you accept murder of an innocent –to save the life of the mother– then you will eventually accept murdering that innocent for other reasons. I don’t believe God changes His moral law–that is a sinner’s excuse to assuage his own conscience…to garner support for his own depravity.
His love is absolute, this I believe, but man is always testing that love by blurring the line between good and evil.

There is NO SCRIPTURE in all of the Bible that condones or approves homo/bi, etc. sexuality.
Science (medicine, research) and Statistics (police, CDC, mental health) align with Scripture.
Acting on deviant proclivities has negative outcomes….highest incidence of STDs, injuries, relational violence, assaults, murders, bowel syndromes, cancer, depression, suicide, early death.

My thoughts about homosexuality are not based in religion, but in science, and are VERY un-PC. I don’t speak about this with many, but feel safe enough here to do so.
The biological imperative of all species is to procreate. Without this drive, the species ceases to exist. I don’t judge it, but I struggle with the Catholic practice of a celibate priesthood and nuns as a subversion of this drive. It seems counter-intuitive to me. It is, however, a religious thing, so logic doesn’t apply.
Logic does apply when thinking about homosexuality. The drive to have sex with anyone or thing that cannot result in procreation MUST be a genetic defect.
In our society, we don’t harm or abuse people who are genetically damaged, such as people with Down’s syndrome. We accept them, and try to help them however we can. We don’t discriminate against them. I don’t think, however, that we should celebrate it.
Many, but not all, people with genetic disorders are infertile. This is nature’s way of preventing the problem from persisting, as many genetic disorders are inheritable. Some Down’s women can have children, but up to 50% of the children will have Down’s syndrome. Men with Down’s are infertile, and generally are in other disorders such as Klinefelter’s.
Most of these genetic disorders would have been fatal for pre-historic man. The associated physical deficiencies would have been insurmountable in that environment. Today, people are protected and supported by others, so they live.
I don’t think it is “wrong” to allow homosexual people to live their lives, but I do think it is illogical to celebrate what is essentially a genetic dead-end. For the most part, all any of us leave behind when we exit this plane of existence is our progeny. Only a tiny minority (think Da Vinci, Michaelangelo, Mozart) leave such significant achievements that they are remembered. But my DNA will exist for as long as my children’s children’s children carry on.

NebraskaFilly

IMO, and having had gay friends, it is not a genetic defect as much as it is a mental issue. Every gay person with whom I have interacted on a personal basis has experienced some form of mental trauma or disruption in their early lives. It may, indeed, be a genetic or physical defect (i.e., inadequate or incorrect hormones both in and out of the womb) in some cases or in the case of true hermaphrodites but (again, IMO) that is not the majority.

Not meant to attack anyone, yourself included. It’s reality as I see it.

Agree with your comments.
With regard to NRA and bump stocks, I see it this way (and likely NRA did as well): bump stocks are basically big boy toys without any fundamental purpose except to entertain. So we can toss these (throw a bone) to the rabid mob instead of getting into a PR war.
I see the reason they did what they did (if correct in my thinking) and can certainly understand why they thought they might finally be able to watch someone else (GOA) take the field.

To those of us celebrating the thought that the damaged church will be rebuilt…the insanity iss already starting.~~~~
Elitist architects reacted to the fire which tore through Notre Dame by arguing that the rebuilding should not reflect “white European France.”
In a Rolling Stone article entitled How Should France Rebuild Notre Dame?, the cathedral is denigrated as “a deep-seated symbol of resentment, a monument to a deeply flawed institution and an idealized Christian European France that arguably never existed in the first place.”
The idea that you can recreate the building is naive,” says John Harwood, an architectural historian and associate professor at the University of Toronto. “It is to repeat past errors, category errors of thought, and one has to imagine that if anything is done to the building it has to be an expression of what we want — the Catholics of France, the French people — want. What is an expression of who we are now? What does it represent, who is it for?”
Modernist architects with these kind of warped ideas shouldn’t be allowed within a mile of Notre Dame.

If a mosque burns down, do they insist that the rebuilding include Christian imagery and modern French style? Never.

My feeling concerning Notre Dame is that this was not an accident that the church caught on firer. My sense is they will rebuild it encompassing Muslim symbols and it will not only a worship space for Christians but also for Muslims.
Maybe just a tourist and secular space?

check out Joe M.’s twitter TL …
Joe is believed to be a Qanon…
Joe M. believes fire to be FF… that is instigated by Cabal, perhaps MK patsy did the deed…
Joe M. believes Cabal objective is to create ideological/religious war between Islam/Christians
Cabal, imho, works to play the three Abrahamic religions against each other … destroy all three.
That is a primary goal of communism… which is why we see DIMs defending anti-Semitism
Patriots/Christians/Jews, we all have to call these domestic terrorists on their bashing of our Country,
our faith, our religions… our churches, temples, our flag even. We have freedom of religion, or not even,
but that doesn’t mean we can’t defend attacks on our religions. I notice in one of his tweets yesterday,
POTUS called out Ilhan for being unpatriotic. Commies will still attack POTUS for doing so, claim he
is attacking Islam.
Americans can not behave as the English and French have, and allow these commies/jihadist terrorists
to take our country, our law… from us.
just something to chew on…

ahhhh…the rest of the story…”a shortage of people willing to work for the (LOW) WAGE that employers would like to pay…”
FTA:
Neither theory nor evidence backs the existence of a “labor shortage”. As discussed below, when employers complain of a “shortage”, they really mean a shortage of people willing to work for the (low) wage that employers would like to pay. The percentage of working-age Americans not in the labor force remains significantly below the level from the year 2000, and employers should strive to bring those potential workers back.

I wish Bachmann would meet with PDJT (who, I believe, can lift her NDA?) to fill him in on what she discovered in Egypt back during the good old Arab Spring! She has always recognized the dangers within Islamism.
“She added, “And I would say to your listeners, we will in all likelihood never see a more godly, biblical president again in our lifetimes, so we need to be not only praying for him, we need to support him, in my opinion.”
Bachmann also spoke on the recent controversy of whether those who are transgender should be allowed to serve in the military.
“Barack Obama had demanded and commanded that our military services had to literally go out and recruit people who are transgender to come into the military,” Bachmann stated. “Well, it costs about a quarter of a million dollars to do sex reassignment surgery.”
“Why would you recruit people who would come in and have sex reassignment surgery and be on the sidelines? It made no sense, so Donald Trump got rid of that mandate and that requirement,” she added.
Bachmann was referring to a ban that was lifted on transgender service in 2016 during the Obama era.”

“Thousands of pro-life activists participated in candlelight vigils outside Planned Parenthood clinics throughout the nation over the weekend, some in response to the new film Unplanned.
“This past weekend’s National Pro-Life Candlelight Vigil was an outstanding success,” said Eric Scheidler, Pro-Life Action League executive director, in an email statement to Breitbart News. “In all, 166 vigils were organized at Planned Parenthood facilities in 40 states in six time zones.”
Scheidler, whose group was one of three pro-life organizations directing the event, estimated total turnout to be over 10,000 participants in the vigils, including many first-time activists.
“Many said that they were motivated by seeing the movie Unplanned, which tells the story of Abby Johnson, a Planned Parenthood manager turned pro-life activist,” he added.”

Barr Clamps Down On ‘Catch And Release’ With Indefinite Detention For Some Apprehended Migrants
US Attorney General William Barr on Tuesday struck down a decision allowing some asylum seekers to request release on bond in front of an immigration judge – a decision that expands ‘indefinite detention’ for migrants, some of whom must wait months or years for their cases to be heard.
Snip … Barr’s decision applies to migrants who have illegally entered the United States as well as those apprehended within the country, according to Reuters.
Barr’s decision is the result of a review begun under former Attorney General Jeff Sessions in October.

Personally thinks do good liberals are getting scammed. There’s been about ten or twenty of these programs in the last few years and none have proclaimed any good result. How easy would it to be to have a certain percentage of front people collecting the money and then have the rest be phony shell accounts that get skimmed? Or just the administrative costs to run one of these programs can likely put some serious money into someones pocket. Or even channel an artists craft into a certain venue in order for them to participate.
What exactly are they trying to study? Just study people on unemployment or welfare. Same freaking thing.

Has it been a slow news week? Maybe.
Why has it been a slow news week?
Scott Adams has some interesting thoughts on the subject.
Things are going well for President Trump and the media fills their time/pages with anti-Trump information/propaganda. Adams posits the media has not recovered from “lack of Russia Hoax”.
Let’s take a look at the world under Trump:
WAR = We’re at a lower “stage” of war than we’ve been in the past 18yrs. Isis is gone.
Jobs = The economy is booming, more people working, not sitting home, watching cable.
Stock market = is within a point of all time high, and S&P is at an all time high.
Price of Gas = Despite the left screaming about Climate Change, the USA is the #1 producer of Oil and Gas in the world
Climate Change = the USA is investing/encouraging private funds as well in Gen 4 Nuclear Energy, the kind that represents no threat of meltdown, and uses nuclear waste as fuel. —— You understand, that would mean the Trump Administration would have solved Climate Change……
Healthcare – Despite the disappointment of John McCain’s vote, healthcare associations are quietly returning premiums to normal, pre-Obamacare. The state of Montana has an extraordinary new plan for their municipal employees, and published prices for specific services are creating a competitive market.
Illegal Immigration = The level of illegal immigration is horrific, right now. Yet it proves President Trump was right, and the Dems were lying.
Trade = American sentiment/public opinion has completely shifted to President Trump’s side on global trade. Instead of pundits screaming about how Trump was a fool for taking on China, now, they want President Trump to make sure there are enforcement mechanisms in place. It’s a 180 degree shift.
In other words, everything the Dems told their voters would happen under a Trump Presidency has been proven to be false. Think about it.
“He’s going to get us into WW3, the market will crash, he’s a Russian puppet, he’s not qualified/crazy.”
AND as the Charlottesville media hoax about “fine people” has been exposed, even the wild charges of racism have died down.

Why did Anthony Weiner choose to pronounce his name “weener?” Instead of “winer”? The German pronunciation of “ei” is like “aye” not like “ee.” Usually German immigrants keep the vowels even if they go ahead and pronounce the W like we do instead of like V.
Given his proclivities, Anthony Weiner probably thought the “weener” pronunciation was a feature, not a bug.

Watching people trip over each other to worship Buttigieg, I’ve been waiting for news about the “spouse.” I don’t care what they do on their own, but I DO NOT want such a role model in a position of leadership in this country. I saw all I needed to see when Milo was at the peak of his influence, and he was largely conservative.
The next charge will be “homophobe!” Fine. I’ll embrace that. Except that I’m not really “afraid” of that influence on our society; rather, I will fight tooth and nail to keep it out of positions of influence, as it is nothing but destructive.
The thought of a grown man prancing around the WH (and the world!) while extolling Harry Potter and cute animals makes me sick, literally. Imagine seeing the two of them at important functions. How to kill your country in one fell swoop.

It appears Butt Plug’s base is wealthy (over 100k a year income) white people who are very liberal and highly engaged politically. He is not resonating (so far) with the all important black voting block. Hmm…
FTA:
“I said yesterday that the Buttigieg base taking shape reminds me of Gary Hart, Paul Tsongas, Bill Bradley and Howard Dean. Worth noting that they all struggled to win black voters, who will make up about 1/4 of the Dem primary electorate next year,” Kornacki tweeted. “The last Dem to win the nomination without a majority of the black vote was Michael Dukakis in 1988, when Jesse Jackson won ~ 95% of the black vote. Bill Clinton, Gore, Kerry, Obama, and Hillary Clinton all won the black vote in their primary races.”

Sometime in the 1800s, St. Paul’s in Rome (known as St. Paul’s Outside the Walls) burned badly, but it was meticulously rebuilt as it originally was, in the old Roman basilica style, with roof trusses, not an arched ceiling. (The Romans, as near as I can tell, invented the roof truss, greatly increasing the possible clear span versus the Greeks who simply laid their beams on top of the walls of the cellas of their temples.) It was originally built in the 300s, if memory serves.

Deplorable Patriot

You are correct. The gold in the ceiling at St. Paul Outside the Walls is from the New World. Was there for the closing of the year of Paul in 2009, and got a photo of Pope Benedict XVI that was the envy of everyone with us on the trip.
BTW, there is a St. Paul Inside the Walls in Rome. The difference is that it’s inside the old city walls. I think it is Episcopal, but don’t quote me on that.

“The mainstream media can bring the conflagration “live” into our lives, burning a new scene of the last days of the West into our consciousness, but they won’t let us process it outside of their politically planted poles of “thought.” Inside their televised “safe space,” analysis is politically correct, sharia compliant, and led not by any sort of inquiring minds, but by functionaries following the playbook they were handed down from the front office.”

A good and encouraging article from the Epoch Times. This was one of the more interesting parts:
On March 21, a Chair ceremony was held for former Attorney General Sessions. In attendance were Deputy AG Rosenstein, Barr, Huber, former acting AG Matt Whitaker, and President Trump’s recent pick for associate attorney general, Jessie Liu. (Liu has since withdrawn her name from consideration for that post.) Barr stated that Sessions, who received a standing ovation, “set an agenda and priorities that are just what the country needs.” Rosenstein stated that “Sessions stayed true to his values.”

Charges Involve Over 350 Thousand Prescriptions for Controlled Substances and Over 32 Million Pills; ARPO Strike Force Grows to 10 Districts, Expanding to Include the Western District of Virginia
Attorney General William P. Barr and Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Alex M. Azar II, together with multiple law enforcement partners, today announced enforcement actions involving 60 charged defendants across 11 federal districts, including 31 doctors, seven pharmacists, eight nurse practitioners, and seven other licensed medical professionals, for their alleged participation in the illegal prescribing and distributing of opioids and other dangerous narcotics and for health care fraud schemes. In addition, HHS announced today that since June 2018, it has excluded over 2,000 individuals from participation in Medicare, Medicaid and all other Federal health care programs, which includes more than 650 providers excluded for conduct related to opioid diversion and abuse. Since July 2017, DEA has issued 31 immediate suspension orders, 129 orders to show cause, and received 1,386 surrenders for cause nationwide for violations of the Controlled Substances Act.

“Mayor Pete Will Make You Bake the Cake
Democratic presidential contender Pete Buttigieg’s public calls for pluralism do not apply to religious small business owners.
South Bend Mayor Buttigieg has made his Episcopalian faith and tolerance a centerpiece of his campaign, but the policies he champions would force religious small business owners to participate in ceremonies they find objectionable under penalty of law. Buttigieg, who is married to a man, will keynote the Human Rights Campaign’s annual dinner. The nation’s largest LGBT lobbying group credited his support for the Equality Act for the invitation…”

“Honestly, I’ve never felt more Palestinian than I’ve ever felt in Congress — even in Palestine when I’m visiting my grandmother I’m more … American,” she continued. “But I’m more Palestinian in the halls of Congress than I am anywhere in the country, in the world.

I do not want Haley or anyone of her ilk. But guess some would think it would be expedient to choose her. We have to remember that person Could become president.

NebraskaFilly

Haley is not an NBC and is, therefore, not eligible for VP. Amendment XII: “But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States.”
“The Founders, Framers, and Ratifiers required that future Presidents and Commanders in Chief of the Military be “natural born Citizens.” They required this because they wanted to protect these unique and singular and all-powerful civil and military offices from monarchical and foreign influence. For the sake of the safety of those offices and the national security of the nation, they wanted to make sure that all future Presidents and Commanders be born with sole allegiance, faith, and loyalty to the United States. Barack Obama (maybe born in Hawaii, but born to a U.S. “citizen” mother and a non-U.S. “citizen” father), Ted Cruz (born in Canada to a U.S. “citizen” mother and a non-U.S. “citizen” father), Marco Rubio (born in Florida to two non-U.S. “citizen” parents), Bobby Jindal (born in Louisiana to two non-U.S. “citizen” parents), and Nikki Haley (born in South Carolina to two non-U.S. “citizen” parents) were not born in the country (BIC) to citizen parents (BCPs). Because they acquired foreign allegiance from either being born to one or two alien parents (all of them) or from being born in a foreign nation (Cruz and maybe also Obama), none of them were born with sole allegiance, faith, and loyalty to the United States. Under all of the above logical statements, none of these individuals are “natural born Citizens.”
http://puzo1.blogspot.com/2013/06/the-fallacies-of-congressional.html

TheseTruths

Too many are willing to twist this into pretzels to elect someone they like. The pushback I got about Cruz not being eligible was incredible.

NebraskaFilly

Exactly! And all one has to do is point to O.B.A.M.A. to see how terribly wrong it can go when we ignore the Founders and their reasoning. This will have to go to SCOTUS directly if we are ever to get this set in stone.

The Department of Homeland Security’s refusal under Obama to close the Mexican border gives the Drug Cartels easy access to the markets in the USA., as well as a highway for illegals and Muslim terrorists.
“A study of asset forfeiture’s impact on police procedure. Drug Enforcement’s Double-Edged Sword: An Assessment of Asset Forfeiture Programs said the policy forces law enforcement agencies to subordinate justice to profit…. “
http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/routledg/rjqy/1994/00000011/00000002/art00009

….
Under forfeiture statutes, innocent owners of property or money, never charged with a crime, still must prove their innocence through complex proceedings. . Under civil asset forfeiture laws, the simple possession of cash, with no drugs or other contraband, can be considered evidence of criminal activity.
Results from the Asset Forfeiture study above revealed a concentration on seizing real property with a high value. In addition, real property seizures are preplanned and commonly made under the controversial facilitation statute.
EXAMPLES FROM THE STUDY:

When asked why a search warrant would not be served on a suspect known to have resale quantities of contraband one officer responded:
“Because that would just give us a bunch of dope and the hassle of having to book him (the suspect). We’ve got all the dope we need in the property room, just stick to rounding up cases with big money and stay away from warrants.”

The WSJ also covers the problem.

Police for Profit
With states and cities struggling with deficits, one fertile source of revenue has been money or property seized by police in possible connection with crimes. Not to be left behind, Illinois has pursued this tactic aggressively, using a law which encourages both police departments and prosecutors to take property for forfeiture, long before the accused ever get their day in court.
…Under Illinois law, the state has 187 days after property is seized to file forfeiture proceedings. Meanwhile, of forfeited funds seized, 25% lands in the lap of the prosecutor’s office. Another 65% goes to the department that seized the property, giving police added incentive to take the property to pad their budgets. Justice Sonia Sotomayor noted this police incentive with concern.
The numbers can be hefty. In 2008, the Chicago Police Department bragged it took in some $13.5 million in asset forfeitures, nearly double what it had seized the previous year. Golly. Inquiring minds will wonder if there were actually double the situations that called for asset forfeiture last year, or if the Chicago PD is simply more assertive about detaining property when the city is short of money.
The case comes from the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals, which vindicated the citizens when it ruled that the time between forfeiture and judicial hearing presented an unconstitutional delay…
The Illinois law compares awkwardly with the federal Civil Asset Forfeiture Reform Act of 2000. As the Cato Institute details in an amicus brief, while the two laws may establish comparable time frames, federal civil forfeiture actions can often run into the hundreds of millions of dollars, a level of cost and complexity well beyond the property at issue under the Illinois drug law. The better match-up is with other state forfeiture laws, and here Illinois performs miserably, taking many times as long to provide a hearing as the likes of Florida, Iowa, Arizona, Missouri and Texas….

Now go after the so-called pain doctors who over-prescribe!
“Federal prosecutors charged 60 physicians and pharmacists from Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, West Virginia, and Alabama on Wednesday for illegally dealing opioids.
According to reporting by Cincinnati.com, accusations include “trading drugs for sex, giving prescriptions to Facebook friends without proper medical exams, and unnecessarily pulling teeth to justify writing pain pill prescriptions.” Most of these medical professionals face charges of “unlawful distribution of controlled substances involving prescription opioids.”
And while prosecutors say the methods employed were many and varied, all resulted in the distribution of 32 million opioid pills — by way of over 350,000 improper prescriptions — to addicts. “If so-called medical professionals are going to behave like drug dealers, we’re going to treat them like drug dealers,” said Assistant Attorney General Brian Benczkowski.”

I posted earlier about the young woman from Florida that Colorado authorities and the FBI were tracking down and who had caused schools all around the front range to close down.
A couple of housecleaning items first. I listened to the press briefings and never heard anything about her using an alias. It’s also apparent that she took an uber up near the Echo lake lodge at the base of Mt Evans, though I haven’t confirmed whether or not she originally rented a car at the Denver International though there may be info out there about that. (I’ve been at work so may be behind)
Apparently, she traveled from DIA to a Littleton area gun store, purchased a shotgun and a box of shells then went up to the Echo lake area. Littleton is a suburb SW of Denver and probably about 45 minutes from the airport, depending on the time of day.
Incidentally, Littleton was the first place I called home in CO when my parents divorced and my dad moved from where I grew up in southern Idaho to Littleton. I came out for summers and after high school I got a job for The City of Littleton and eventually became lead of their mowing operations. Neither here nor there just to say I’m intimately connected to and familiar with Littleton.
Columbine High school is in Littleton.
So I’ve heard that this young womans parents were concerned when she took off and called Miami police. Miami police call Miami FBI and they call Denver FBI. – wierd sidenote, she had bought 3 one way tickets to Denver for consecutive days. They are able to track her (cell phone) to the Echo lake area last night. They knew she had bought a shotgun and they also knew that she was not dressed appropriately for spending the night at the base of Mt Evans.
They say that according to her social media and talking to people around her that she has some kind of obsession with Columbine, which is coincidentally about to commemorate the 20 year anniversary of that tragic day.
So, to the point:
Even though her whereabouts were known last night along with all of the other details, how in the hell was she single handedly able to terrorize every school district in the Denver area, hold them hostage and cause them all to shut down?
Authorities were easily able to track her down this morning and word eventually came out that she had committed suicide. I’m guessing, since she wasn’t dressed to spend the night on Mt Evans in April then she probably shot herself last night and the FIB probably knew that she wasn’t really the threat that some people probably wanted everyone to think she was.
Ok, since Columbine there have been several other school shootings in Colorado and the one thing I’ve seen since Columbine is the push to convince people that guns are bad. No consideration that a lot of teachers and administrators are already trained in the use of firearms and want to have the right to defend their students. Nope!!! Guns are bad, mmmmmkaaaaay?
So from what I can tell these leftists don’t give a rat’s ass about protecting our children, none whatsoever. As a matter of fact, seems to me they relish the threats and violent incidents to further bolster their push for gun confiscation. I’m real tired of them putting our kids in harm’s way and furthering their agenda with the blood of the innocent. I’m calling it, Evil!!
Now, I understand the overabundance of caution and won’t argue that it’s better to be safe, even if it means closing down education but I truly think smarter policies and hardening schools in a common sense way can deter future shooters from even trying and make kids a lot safer. No need to shut down in fear ever again.
Also, I just read Wolf’s post about firearms safety and wholeheartedly agree. We either need training or could use more training

Sylvia Avery

Thanks for catching us up on this. I have been curious, and I remain curious about this. It all seems quite unlikely, doesn’t it?????

I wasn’t sure what it meant but it seemed important given the gun grabbing tendencies we’ve been subjected to by the left here in CO. You actually inspired me to update on what I’d heard throughout the day and write that longass post, thanks Sylvia 🙄😆.
