Dear KAG: 20191225 Very Merry Christmas Open Thread

And for those who open presents….

Don’t laugh too hard. One of my brothers was watching late night TV, and these snuggle suits were advertised, and long story short, I have an Energizer Bunny suit somewhere in this house.

And for those of us dealing with unseasonably warm temperatures, this dream really does not have to come true.

Okay, so here’s the deal. This is the open thread. This is where we all come to get the news that other Q tree inhabitants think is worth knowing and sharing. Please, post links to any “news” stories quoted, and ask for help if you are stumped as to how to do that. We’re a friendly lot. Someone will be with you shortly, and there is no reason to have to press one for English.

Free speech, and the open exchange and hashing out of ideas is not only allowed, but encouraged. If we all don’t use it, we’re going to lose it. There are, however, limits to civility, and those limits are strictly observed here. We are all on the same team. No personal threats, baiting, name calling and other behavior your mother and grandmother told you not to do while calling you by your full name is allowed.

There is absolutely no reason for infighting to result in burning down the tree, house up in the branches and all. Yes, it can be rough to temper speech. However, those who would like to slog it out from the comfort of the seat behind your keyboard, Wolf has provided a venue known as the UTree. Please, take it there.

And now for some house keeping:

There are a few rules here in the branches of the Q Tree. Our host, Wolfm00n, outlined them in a post on New Years Day. Please, review these rules from time to time, maybe while waiting in line with the kids to see Santa. After all, the line does go all the way to Terre Haute.

Fellow tree dweller Wheatie gave us some good reminders on the basics of civility in political discourse:

  1. No food fights.
  2. No running with scissors.
  3. If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.

Steve suggests – to be accurate – no shooting at the nuclear weapons, but to be safe about it, don’t event point firearms toward them. I, Deplorable Patriot, bossy chick that I am, request no teasing the animals, pets and wildlife alike. FG&C asks that you wash your hands and take some vitamin C. Daughn suggests you whip the sugar with the shortning (butter) before adding the flour.

Teasing and trolling the lefties and their bastions, on the other hand is a moral imperative. Folks, this is what we escaped.

__________________________________________________

As it is Christmas….

Set to music:

As always, prayers for the fight against that which seeks to enslave us are welcome.

Not too much egg nog now.

I wrote this poem based on a story written by Elizabeth King English, ‘Waiting, Waiting, For Christmas’, originally printed in Guideposts magazine sometime in the 1950s. According to what I’ve read, this is a true story.
We were dog tired, late Christmas Eve
We locked up the store, got ready to leave
All the toys in the store were all gone
Save for one layaway, not called on
We got up early, I had my tea
And we opened our gifts under the tree
That’s when it started, I thought of the store
The urge to return grew, more and more
The icy sidewalks, the wind blowing sleet
Not a good walk for my still aching feet
But that urge wouldn’t leave me alone
So I got my coat and left my warm home
The wind cut through me, sleet stung my cheeks
Me, out on this day and so cold and bleak
But there, at the store, stood waiting two boys
The younger cries, the older sees me with joy
“See, I told you. I knew that she’d come.”
The younger looked up, his crying now done
“Why are you here?” I said with concern
“I’d like a gift with this money I earned”
He held out three dollars in wrinkled bills
I looked at him as he shivered with chill
No hats or gloves, and old worn out shoes
They tugged at my heart. How could I refuse?
I opened the door, got out of the cold
Knowing last night that everything sold
“There was no Christmas for Jimmy today”
The older boy said, with plain dismay
“He’d like some skates. That’s what he said”
I felt lost knowing what was ahead.
Then I remembered, out in the back
That lone layaway, there on the top rack
I fetched the package, and opened it to see
A pair of skates . . . a miracle to me
I prayed “Lord, let them be in his size”
And then, again, right before my eyes
Jimmy put on the skates, a perfect fit
I had to sit down, amazed, for a bit
The older boy held out his money to me
But “No”, I said “These are yours for free”
“Go buy some gloves, ‘cause it’s awfully cold”
They couldn’t believe what they were just told
But then they both grinned, as they knew
The skates were theirs, and for free, too
What I saw in their eyes, a blessing to me
Their joy lifted my spirits, almost to glee
And then I asked, ‘cause I just had to know
“Why were you waiting in the cold and snow?”
“Today is Christmas, all the stores are shut
What made you come here? What was it? What?”
I wasn’t prepared for his reply
He looked at me steady, right in my eyes
Then he softly said “It’s because I knew
You’d come, ‘cause I asked Jesus to send you.”
The tingles in my spine weren’t from the cold
God had planned this; God is in control
As I walked home, all my thoughts were clear
This day, Christmas Day, took on a new cheer
Peace and joy walked with me on my way
And I came home to a brighter Christmas Day
Now, as I reflect on this memory
Though it was stormy, I can clearly see
What makes Christmas wonderful, every year
That one blessed thing is that Jesus is here.

I’m very much for traditional nativity scenes and love the one depicted in the opening. Glory in the Highest ✝️

Hey, I scheduled it on Monday in the morning, so I saw it first. 😉 I toyed with using a picture of the Bethlehem urban sprawl on the mantle, actually.

Indeed! I was searching on DDG for nativity scenes, quite unhappy until I found that one.

Christmas Morning
‘Tis the morning of Christmas and all through the house
The whole family is stirring, even the mouse.
The stockings still hang from the mantel in pairs,
As the pine from the tree fills the morning air.
The sun, not long up, gives it’s warm, golden glow,
Glinting from crystals on the new fallen snow.
There’s noise upstairs – the kids jump from their beds,
With pattering footfalls on the stair treads.
I’ve coffee in my mug and Mom’s making her tea,
As the kids burst in and head straight for the tree.
We all gather ‘round with the presents piled near,
Our family immersed in the festive good cheer.
With lights softly glowing and the angel atop,
Activity and talking all come to a stop.
The angel above reminds us of the night
The shepherds all witnessed a glorious sight.
A multitude of heavenly host appeared
To proclaim to the shepherds “Your Savior is here!”
The subject of Christmas isn’t presents, you see,
And it’s not Santa Claus, though he’s nice as can be.
When Christmas Day comes, we celebrate the birth
Of Jesus, our Savior – when God came to earth.
We now all hold hands, and we all bow our heads
To thank God for His Son, who died in our stead.
He covered our sins so we could draw near
To the throne of our God – approach without fear.
Then He rose from the grave, to give us new life,
Freeing us from the world, its sin and its strife.
One day in the future, He’ll come again
To raise us to life and to bring us to Him,
And the splendors of earth will all fade away
In the light of His glory and grace on that day.
And so, this Christmas, as you gather near
For presents, feasting and lots of good cheer,
Remember that Jesus was born to die,
To save us from sin – our debt satisfied.
But all is not sad, He rose from the grave
In total victory. A new life He gave;
New life to live and new hope to receive
To you and to me and to all who believe.
Let’s all remember as we go on our way,
The full meaning of each Christmas Day.
To banish darkness, God gave us His Light,
And seeing, we live with favor in His sight.
– – – – – – – – – – – – –
And may I wish to all my QTree friends,
The joy of a Christmas that never ends,
That you receive God’s blessings from above,
That you all live lives immersed in His love.

Would you be offended and alienated if someone wished you Happy Hanukkah? I sure wouldn’t!

wheatietoo

No, I wouldn’t either!
Not at all.

Happy Hanukkah, Wheatie! I just love that I can say BOTH of them today!!! 😀

If they’re so offended by Christmas, why do they happily take the time off from work? Or give and receive gifts? You would think if they were that offended, they wouldn’t participate at all.

Deplorable Patriot

No commenting on this one. Too many Jehovah’s Witnesses in my past.

Gail Combs

Yeah, I know, My apartment mate, a very good friend (Who we dragged to Christmas parties anyway) a boss….

I so want to buy a bulk pack of Christmas cards and mail a card every day for the next year…
And order a Christmas wreath every month on the 25th…
Special delivery!!!!

michaelh

I wouldn’t enjoy triggering them so much, BUT…
It’s the SJW Professionally Oppressed, Aggrieved and Offended class that makes up garbage about how their PTSD is triggered by everyday things to get more clicks or in the case of WaPo to get more copy printed… how exactly did that oped pass editorial muster?
These people aren’t really offended – they are expressing offense merely as a means of exercising the tyranny of their feelings as a method of manipulating and controlling other people’s behavior, creating guilt where none should exist, and do this for the Gramsci/Alinsky goal of crushing all non-Marxist and all Christian culture. They amplify it through their social mediaz and create an NPC army of drones controlled by the outrage porn who are angry about oppressionz that never happened…
FAKE OUTRAGE should not be pandered to.
FAKE OUTRAGE should be ridiculed.
Ridicule is man’s most powerful weapon – Alinksy
Make the left live up to their own rulebook.
And BTW, Merry Christmas!

Deplorable Patriot

Seems to me if the SJW snowflakes are so easily triggered by diverse expressions of salutation, this hasn’t really sunk in.

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

As a non-believer myself I have a tiny, tiny, TINY shred of sympathy for this man’s position. But as no one can see beard stubble shaved off an electron, that shred is basically invisible.
A casual Merry Christmas is nothing, honestly, I’ve said it myself within the last 24 hours.
Nonetheless, he is right that one shouldn’t assume someone shares your religion, but that’s not alienating (unless it’s being done by the government). In response to a simple greeting/parting, it’s an overreaction. It’s either someone who knows you may not be a Christian and considers that irrelevant, or assumes everyone around him is, which would be such a minor thoughtlessness it’s not worth triggering over, by a factor of about a billion.
I can imagine a circumstance where it could be delivered in such a manner, with such an attitude that it really means, “Merry Christmas, and if you don’t love Jesus go fuck yourself.” I’ve never personally seen that happen, but if it did it would indeed be the height of impoliteness (at best).
HOWEVER…by the same token…
Where do Christians get off being offended by “Happy Holidays?”
You’re not offended by it? Then why are you so happy people aren’t saying it as much any more? If it shouldn’t matter to someone of another religious conviction that you tell them Merry Christmas, it should definitely not matter to you in the SLIGHTEST that someone says “Happy Holidays” because at the very least, that DOES include Christmas, which IS a holiday.
Perhaps it’s being delivered by someone who acknowledges he doesn’t know which (if ANY) of the religious holidays of the season you are celebrating, or perhaps (!) he’s thinking of “Christmas and New Year’s” and is just bucketing them into a short phrase.
So why all the frigging angst over “Happy Holidays?” Why is saying it indicative of a war (!!!) on Christmas? Give me a break!

bakocarl

Hi Steve. For me, let’s say 4 or so years ago, the issue wasn’t that people who weren’t Christians were saying “Happy Holidays”. The issue was that people who would normally say “Merry Christmas” were pressured by the PC crowd (whatever that is) to say “Happy Holidays” because someone might be offended by hearing “Merry Christmas”.
There’s a big holiday going on out there and it’s called Christmas. So “Merry Christmas” is good. Hanukkah is going on also, so “Happy Hanukkah” is good, too.
If people don’t do Christmas or Hanukkah, “Happy Holidays” or “Seasons Greetings” are good.
Personally, I just don’t want to see people pressured by a group to not say something, because clearly, that pressure is a form of censorship.

Alison

This!! It was a deliberate effort to REMOVE a Christian greeting. There is nothing offensive about Happy Holidays. There is EVERYTHING offensive about attempts to remove ways we Celebrate Christianity.

Gail Combs

Steve, I am an agnostic married to an atheist so I think I can answer this from a neutral point of view.
“….Why is saying it indicative of a war (!!!) on Christmas? …..”
Because it is the outward manifestation of the war on our culture.
I am old enough to remember the school day starting with the flag raising, the Pledge of Allegiance AND THE LORDS PRAYER!
I have watch over the last six decades as a symbol or section of our culture is isolated, ATTACKED AND DESTROYED by the Commie infiltrators in our country.
The Farmer
Discipline of Children
The Lord’s Prayer
The Pledge of Allegiance
Dress codes in public school
Academic standards in public school
The Confederate flag
Statutes of Americans…
I have been IN some of these fights. Each time a charismatic, chummy Commie asked me WHY I was fighting since it did not affect me.
AND THAT IS THE KEY TO DIVIDE AND CONQUER!
First they came for the Jews
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for the Communists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for me
and there was no one left
to speak out for me. — Martin Niemöller

Wolf Moon | Threat to Demonocracy

I hear you!!!
Now – one point which I don’t want to detract from your bigger point, which is quite real and with which I agree strongly (that we need to engage before our own victimization to protect EVERYBODY’S freedom)…..
The issue I always have with this little saying (“First they came….”), is that two of these groups – Communists and trade unionists – (many of whom were Jews, too, to be honest) are the ones who, in Germany, largely filled the ranks of the OTHER socialist alternatives to Nazism, all of whom battled in the streets and helped in a HUGE way to give rise to the Nazis.
ALL of them were BAD NEWS. The KPD not only spurred the creation of the Nazis as their “patriotic alternative” – the NON-JEWISH members of the KPD *literally* poured into the Nazis once the Nazis took power. Pure controlled opposition. When the KPD wouldn’t sell, the NAZIS were just the ticket.
Everybody should read about the Communists and trade unionists of Europe of that era. ANTIFA. Exactly like ANTIFA and the troublemaking radicals of today’s radical left in America.
This has always made a pretty saying, but it has a hidden leftist payload that is no good. It’s a lot like that Emma Lazarus saying stapled to the bottom of the Statue of Liberty. It’s a poisonous leftist afterthought masquerading as something appealing to everybody. It’s a male criminal sneaking into the Titanic lifeboats with the women and children.
“Oh, here, I’m a Communist and bear no responsibility for the destruction of Germany! It was all those BAD, BAD Nazis! Not MEEEEEEEE!”
Hogwash, Hogwarts! COMMIES are GUILTY AS CHARGED!!!

Gail Combs

Wolfie, I certainly agree and considered doctoring it but decided to leave it as is.
I sort of wonder if the COMMIES did the doctoring a lot earlier. We KNOW for a fact they love to rewrite history. As a mater of fact, I do not recall the words communist and trade unionist in that poem the first time I saw it many years ago.

Wolf Moon | Threat to Demonocracy

I don’t remember who or how many different groups were used in all the different version of that which I have seen, TBH, but in any case, the communists did a grade A job of BLAMECASTING, as usual!!! 😀

Deplorable Patriot

As the word “holiday” really means “holy day”…there might be some equality, but really, it glosses over the importance of the holy day itself. Some of us see it as a way to diminish the impact of the events being celebrated.
I say Merry Christmas not just as a Christian, but in the spirit of diversity.
“Seasons Greetings” OTOH is not my style, and I will leave it there.

Nor'easter

Well Steve, Merry Christmas and/or CARPE DIEM !

Steve my scientific son has decided to be a non believer. He still greets people with Merry Christmas. I ask his “why he goes out of his way” he said “out of respect.” He does not mind people wishing him Merry Christmas. He respects all people of faith.
I do not pressure him and feel in God’s time he will recognize the value and pace and joy and comfort fathers brings. I never lecture people who are not where I am it is not my place.

Correction: The peace and joy faith brings not fathers. This darn autocorrect 🙁

The author of the Washed-up Compost article is Julia Ioffe
Julia Ioffe, a correspondent for GQ Magazine, is currently at work on a book about Russia.
She is a Jew per her story.

Julia Ioffe is a Russian-born American journalist who covers national security and foreign policy topics for GQ. Her writing has previously appeared in The Washington Post, The New York Times, The New Yorker, Foreign Policy, Forbes, Bloomberg Businessweek, The New Republic, Politico, and The Atlantic. Ioffe often appears on MSNBC, CNN, and other news channels as a Russia expert. — Wiki

KGB Influence agent??? She came to the USA at age 7. Per WIKI her Jewish parents “fleeing anti-Semitism” in the Soviet Union. I calculate they fled in 1987 just a few years before the Soviet Union ceased to exist.

Merry Christmas to All.
It’s a big, wide, wonderful world out there — full of hustle and bustle, opportunity and chaos. Good and evil are in fierce battle all around the world — sometimes across countries, other times within the confines of one person’s heart.
It really makes you appreciate how good it is to steal away for a bit to a cyberspace treehouse, to be in pleasant company, and reflect on what is Good, what is beautiful, what is inspiring, and what is noble.

Okay, so, just as an experiment, I recorded a few selections of the schola downtown and … frankly, what came back at us from the nave was mixed much better than what my phone picked up. Sorry. Maybe next year. And from experience I know that the choir at home sounds much better recorded from the congregation than upstairs.

I live for a challenge.

Wolf Moon | Threat to Demonocracy

At 45% (double our recent rise from ~40% to 42.5%) I’ll be posting about image hosting sites and personal WP blog media stores, to prepare people for the new world which begins at 50%.

Deplorable Patriot

If you could kindly explain how to get the header image to link to a URL, that would be GREAT (said in her best Lumbergh voice). That’s the one I have trouble with.

bakocarl

Hi DP . . . how to add the featured image by URL –
In the “Featured image “ menu in the editor, when you click on “Set featured image” or “Replace image”, you’ll get an “Add new” block in the upper left of the editor window. Immediately to the right of that is a little down pointing caret “ˇ” symbol.
Then (or beforehand), in a new window, right click on the image you want to use and then click on “Copy image address”.
Then, back to the add featured image window, paste the copied address in the address line that has https:// in it. Then click on “upload” and then “insert”.
And, voilǻ, you’ve got your new featured image.
However, when you use that method, you’ll end up putting another image in the WP Image File, which is filling up . . . but I don’t know how to set the featured image without that image also ending up in the WP Image File.
Hope this works for you.

bakocarl

I forgot to add that you have to click on on the little down pointing caret “ˇ” symbol.. . . but you probably figured that out already.

Deplorable Patriot

I’ve tried that. Doesn’t work for me.

bakocarl

Then it’s beyond my ken.

Deplorable Patriot

Thank you.

Wolf Moon | Threat to Demonocracy

Yeah, the header image can be LOADED from a URL, but it cannot be POINTED to a URL. So as far as I know, there is no getting around the header image being uploaded and counting against our limit.
The only way past that is to use an EXISTING uploaded image as the header, but that’s simply too draconian for me.
When we hit the limit, we start a new blog. Thus we begin getting “headers only” at 50%. That should stretch things out for a LONG while.
If you use the block editor (highly recommended), then you can add an image that is NOT counted against our limit in two ways.
(1) paste an image URL all by itself into its own block
(2) add an image block, and choose the “image from URL” option, which opens up an entry widget to insert the URL.
The SECOND method seems to be more full-featured, in that you can put the image in the center or on the right, whereas in the first method the image is automatically thrown to the left.

According to CNN, George Soros is a holocaust survivor. SMH

Deplorable Patriot

UGH!

Gail Combs

Commie News Network is full of BULL SHIFF!!!

Coldeadhands

Soros a Holocaust survivor?! He was a Holocaust perpetrator! A thief of victim’s wealth!

Thomas

Soros is a survivor of the Siege of Budapest in which German and Russians fought house-to-house and the city was the unfortunate collateral victim. His family. while of Jewish descent, was almost ashamed of their heritage and certainly lived a agnostic, non-religious life. The most prominent feature is both George’s and his parents’ embrace and promotion of “Esperanto” a manufactured, “global” language intended to promote globalism. (imagine that!) and rejection of national/cultural identity. Those two facts alone verify Rudi’s assertion.

I’m telling you, it’s part of the depopulation and voluntary birth control plan. Women are put on this earth to bear the next generation. That the next generation is being equated with parasites tells the tale. That a pricetag is put on all of it is part of the sales job.

Thomas

It’s more sophisticated I fear. You pitch that mantra to the educated, especially the over-educated female majority who have invested years and tens-of-thousands in career education, and they intentionally delay, defer or avoid reproduction, while the uneducated hoards being actively imported reproduce at staggering rates. Thereby you overtake the electorate by sheer numbers.

We were told it was in our best interest, and that it was expected.

The great questions are not debated. Instead, the “answers” are pumped into the heads of “leaders” in places like Bilderberg.

NOT without a very good TOP BELAY!!!
And yes I have done some of that sort of stuff 5 decades ago. Our ‘practice area’ was about 80 feet high and luckily had a hiking trail down one side so a belayer could sit on the top of the cliff and the climber could hook in to the belay rope and climb knowing he would be caught if he fell. I have caught climbers who were almost double my weight while taking my turn as belayer.
The real fun was the cliff was not vertical. Standing at the bottom the rain would not touch the ten feet of ground closest to the rock. This meant when you fell you dangled mostly out of reach of the rock face and had to be lowered.
This is a ‘bottom belay’
http://howtoclimbharder.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/5041466000_fc4087a26c_o.jpg

Teagan

I’ve been a belayer for a man twice my weight…you should seen the look on his face when he got to the top and saw who was holding the rope!
Then there was the time my shirt got caught in the carabiner and I could release it so dangled in the air until I could convince myself to let go of my death grip on the rope to work it out. Talk about a leap of faith…literally.

Gail Combs

Don’t you love the look on their face when they realize it was some little gal who caught them?

Yeah, I had some hair raising occurrences too.
I was practicing ‘rope-walking’ with prussiks and doing a change over in midair to repell back down. Somehow I ended up upside down hanging by my ankles (thank goodness for chicken loops) just as my Major Professor walked by underneath me. That gave me the shot of adrenaline to manage to haul myself back up right and complete the change over.

Deplorable Patriot

I understand exactly what he was saying, and reject his non rigidity.

Deplorable Patriot

Some of us do this every day of the year, not just on Christmas. If Christ is really present in the Eucharist, as the demons exorcised from humans regularly assure us He is, why should receiving only be on Christ’s birthday.
This guy honestly thinks the dumbing down of the faith made us all sheep who can’t do our own research and learning. The largest growth segment in the Latin Rite is the Traditionalists who are going back and doing our own Catechesis. The watered down mush the post-Vat II non rigorious people fomented on the rest of us is being jettisoned. I guess the St. Gallen mafia a ticked about that, just like the MSM are mad that deplorables reject their version of reality.
And the man (or whoever is running his Twitter feed) doesn’t know that Tabernacle and Creche are capitalized, either?

“…And the man (or whoever is running his Twitter feed) doesn’t know that Tabernacle and Creche are capitalized, either?….”

TY For a great Open Thread Deplorable Patriot
God Bless & Merry Merry Christmas to ALL Q-treepers, American Patriots & Trump Supporters.
Bit late tonight for I’m been giving this Christmas away at the Warming Station that give our Homeless roof over their heads & warm bed for the night. Remember you have the power too —
“What if I told you you have the power To give someone hope far beyond their wildest dreams? What if December looked different this year? Yeah what if we all just Give this Christmas away”

How many have wondered this or even been asked by a small child while out shopping at the mall
“A little boy tugged my sweater, looked up and asked me, Where’s the line to see Jesus? Is He here at the store?
If Christmas time is His birthday, why don’t we see Him more? As I stood in amazement at this message profound,
I looked down to thank him, he was no where around. The little boy at the mall might as well have had wings
As the tears filled my eyes, I thought I heard him sing, Where’s the line to see Jesus? Is He here at the store?
If Christmas time is His birthday, why don’t we see Him more? Where’s the line to see Jesus? He was born for me.
Santa Claus brought me presents, but Christ gave His life for me.”

Gloria, I hear the angels singing gloria
All of the heavens ringing, gloria
The Savior of the world is in her arms
Gloria, I hear the angels singing gloria
All of the heavens ringing, gloria
The Savior of the world is in her arms
She’s staring at the face of God, the face of God

Looks like they have sentences in the Khashoggi murder. The real questions for me are:
(1) how did the CIA set up MBS?
(2) how did MBS exit the CIA set-up?
(3) is Jeff Bezos actually a CIA agent? (check out the article!!!)

Both see themselves as ‘unifying’ voices – ah – but – who is unifying and who is dividing – and who is their God?

Gail Combs

This is also a good article by the Church Militant
POPE: CHRISTIANS MURDERED BY MUSLIMS TESTAMENT TO GOD’S PLAN FOR COEXISTENCE

“The lives of 19 religious men and women martyred during the Algerian civil war are a testament to God’s plan of love and peaceful coexistence between Christians and Muslims,” Pope Francis said.
A more serious analyst would note that they were, after all, murdered, so they might not be that great a testimony to peaceful coexistence between Christians and Muslims. But this is the Pope who has said that “Muslim terrorism does not exist.” So he affirms that “by beatifying our 19 brothers and sisters, the church wishes to bear witness to her desire to continue to work for dialogue, harmony and friendship,” ignoring the fact that the murder of these people drowned their desire for “dialogue, harmony and friendship” in their own blood. There may be some room for dialogue, but only if it is informed and realistic, not based on wishful thinking and willful ignorance.
“Algerian martyrs bear witness to Christian-Muslim peace, Pope Francis says,” by Catholic News Service, December 10, 2018……

Linda K Harrison

Merry Christmas everyone! This seems like a nice place to share this:
The Person of Christ
He was born in an obscure village, the child of a peasant woman.
He worked in a carpenter shop and was an itinerant preacher.
He never wrote a book, He never held public office.
He did none of the things we usually associate with greatness.
Nineteen centuries have come and gone.
And today, He is still the central figure of the human race.
All the armies that ever marched, all the navies that have ever sailed,
all the kings that have ever reigned put together have not affected the life
of mankind on this earth as much as this one solitary life.
McLean Bible.org

Amen goes right there, Linda!

This is the best explanation I’ve found yet using Biblical evidence with some history and most likely Sacred Tradition that the date is correct.

GA/FL

Anglican Curmudgeon is a scientist, lawyer, conservative catholic Christian and a formidable scholar.

Deplorable Patriot

yes, and Dr. Marshall in the video lays out how simply using how the High Priests were working in the Temple and the dates that St. John the Baptist’s father would have been there, when he would have been conceived and on and on.
It’s all good. But, I found the video easy to understand just on the date itself. The rest, yes, is more about science.

GA/FL

Thanks! Saved! Will watch when I have time!

GA/FL

The Anglican Curmudgeon uses both science and Scripture as double evidence.

Teagan

If you watch the show we just did at the Planetarium, that would be disputed…based on world history and outer space events, such as major comets that were documented at the time. Based on science, not Biblical evidence.
If you ever have the opportunity, the show is called The Mysteries of the Star of Bethlehem.

Sad state of affairs.
Public Discourse continues to platform radical leftist KSP – this time with a puff piece on Christmas day designed to bolster a “conservative” and “Christian” public image.
The program to promote and platform leftist KSP as a “Christian” spokesperson is going quite well… and many are all to happy to carry the left’s water…

GA/FL

What is KSP?

🦋🦋bflyjesusgrl🦋🦋

That’s the lefty who wrote the article in CT. The soon to be unemployed lefty😉👏👏

GA/FL

Thanks, Miss Butterfly!

🦋🦋bflyjesusgrl🦋🦋

Oops, Got that one half wrong Miss Georgia, LOL! Knew it was a lefty. My heart is still warmed by the judgy “christian” writer on his his way out!

michaelh

KSP = Karen Swallow Prior. Just to give you a taste, she’s super popular with the leftist crew at ERLC and an advisor to the HSUS. Published on Vox, WaPo, Sojourners… Ph.D. in English from SUNY Buffalo.
She’s not the person who wrote the CT article, FYI, though CT has also been working to polish her image. They’re working hard to repackage her for Evangelical and Southern Baptist audiences. More Gramsci march through the institutions.
Symbolism will be their downfall.

michaelh

GA/FL: Evangelicalism, and the Southern Baptist Convention at the moment in particular, is under siege by an insurgency executing irregular warfare through denominational politics.
The media are either blind and asleep at the switch, or actively contributing to the Neo-Marxist insurgency. This is most obvious from Jonathan Merritt and the WaPo’s weaponized coverage of Paige Patterson. The Fort-Worth Star Telegram and the Houston Chronicle are also carrying the water for this.
The leftists are rushing now in their advance since wrestling control of the SBC from Paige Patterson to their chosen insider in 2018. They also took control of SWBTS and have been eliminating faculty they want OUT.
The case of Dr. Lopez at SWBTS is pretty dramatic b/c he is very outspoken, and not well liked by the ERLC. They got rid of him, and Dr. Lopez came out publicly and said it was over his statements on homosexuality. Then SWBTS had a press release that said Dr. Lopez’ “claims” were false. Two days later Dr. Lopez released recordings and transcripts of meetings he had with SWBTS which make it very clear that SWBTS was not telling the truth in their press release, that the concern was Dr. Lopez’s public statements and how they were reflected on a (now leftist) SWBTS, and the recordings for the first time clearly confirm the control the ERLC is improperly exercising over SBC institutions and the SWBTS in particular. Up to this point the ERLC had been particularly careful to cover their tracks with plausible deniability (standard leftist tactic to say one thing publicly while doing the exact opposite clandestinely).
The Neo-marxist coup of the SBC is part of a large insurgent program of irregular warfare being waged in denominational politics across Evangelicalism. They control all the denominational press sources (Baptist Press, CT, Christian Post, etc) but people are starting to find out what’s happening. AFA, The Capstone Report, others…

GA/FL

Thanks, esteemed Michael H – Copied and saved to read later.

GA/FL

Is Dr. Mohler one of the good guys (I hope)?

michaelh

NO. Sorry to disappoint, definitely NOT. He’s been cultivating a conservative public image for years but he is 110% behind this. He is a chameleon and has been for decades.

GA/FL

Oh no – sorry to hear. Who is your pick of the ‘good guys’? Will the SBC go ‘gay’?

michaelh

Check out some of the names I listed in my other post. I’ve posted some things from Pulpit and Pen as well as Reformation Charlotte. It’s much bigger problem that just one issue, but they are definitely planning to use the alphabet issues to wedge things apart.

GA/FL

Oh man – I could tell you blood curdling stories about the denominations and the individual churches I’ve been a member throughout my life. With my own family background/history to top it off, I’m afraid to trust any church or pastor. I am currently attending a PCA presbyterian right up the street, but I’m afraid to put my whole weight down in the pew, for fear I’ll find out it’s about to split or the pastor/elders are in sin….it’s hard to trust after 70 years of church horrors.

michaelh

You’re definitely not alone on that front. I’ve had more than my share of problems with church abuse. A lot of ppl would give up on church after that, but I didn’t see where it was written that the battle was optional 😉

GA/FL

Says here ERLC is trying to rid SBC of conservative pastors:
https://pulpitandpen.org/2019/10/15/erlc-trying-to-kick-out-conservative-sbc-pastors-because-they-endorsed-a-book/
Maybe PDJT was attending a SBC to encourage conservatives to fight back!

michaelh

I would like to think so. Pence attended the 2018 annual meeting – ended up being a huge distraction and the ERLC bro’s used that as a chance to stage their coup to get their guy Greear elected as SBC pres.

And this is why he will ALWAYS be “Li’l Marco”.

Gail Combs

Actually Marco is TECHNICALLY correct because the FBI regs are written so they can investigate anyone they darn well feel like!
Standards for Opening an FBI Investigation So Low They Make the Statistic Meaningless

Preliminary investigations require only “information or an allegation,” and contrary to Comey’s testimony, the allegation does not need to be “credible.” A 2010 Inspector General report found the FBI opened preliminary investigations on political advocacy organizations based on mere speculation that the subjects might commit a crime in the future, and the agents themselves often made the required “allegations.” Only full investigations, which allow electronic wiretaps and search warrants, require the reasonable indication of wrongdoing that Comey described in response to Rep. Turner’s question. This too is a relatively low standard, substantially lower than the probable cause necessary to obtain a search warrant or wiretap….

In other words the FBI ROUTINELY VIOLATES the Fourth Amendment

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

Cornell Law shows just how badly the Fourth has been eroded.
https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/fourth_amendment

….A search under Fourth Amendment occurs when a governmental employee or agent of the government violates an individual’s reasonable expectation of privacy.
Strip searches and visual body cavity searches, including anal or genital inspections, constitute reasonable searches under the Fourth Amendment when supported by probable cause and conducted in a reasonable manner….

Afterwards, while talking with a group of people we sat next to I mentioned that I didn’t believe that Francis was the real Pope. I was complimented on my knowledge of this as a Protestant and told I should consider converting, where upon I mentioned my admiration for G.K. Chesterton. I was then promptly asked by two ladies present if I was married. A very amusing experience.

Durham Surprises Even Allies With Statement on F.B.I.’s Trump Case
By Carlos Christian -December 23, 2019
https://theunionjournal.com/durham-surprises-even-allies-with-statement-on-f-b-i-s-trump-case/
WASHINGTON — Whether or not investigating expenses of torture by the C.I.A., rolling up an organized crime community or prosecuting crooked authorities officers, John H. Durham, the veteran federal prosecutor named by Lawyer Common William P. Barr to analyze the origins of the Russia inquiry, burnished his repute for impartiality over time by maintaining his mouth closed about his work.
On the peak of the Boston mob prosecution that made his title, he not solely rebuffed a neighborhood newspaper’s interview request, however he additionally advised his workplace to not launch his résumé or photograph.
That wall of silence cracked this month when Mr. Durham, serving in essentially the most politically charged position of his profession, launched a unprecedented assertion questioning one key component of an overlapping investigation by the Justice Division’s inspector basic, Michael E. Horowitz.
[Excerpt] Read more at the link above…

Gail Combs

To add to the Excerpt

….In a Washington Post op-ed this month, Mr. Holder cautioned Mr. Durham, whom he said he has been proud to know for at least a decade, about joining Mr. Barr in disputing the inspector general’s findings. “Anyone in Durham’s shoes would do well to remember that, in dealing with this administration, many reputations have been irrevocably lost,” he wrote.

Holder neglected to add those reputations were lost thanks to UNFOUNDED DEMONRAT SMEAR JOBS!

Well, no way it wasn’t Obola.

duchess01

He will not skate – he is a liar and everyone knows it – so let him lie under oath and see what happens – he is going down – and out – with the count – he is guilty of treason – sedition – and subversive acts – DOA – and he will take both of them with him – that $10M house will pay for their defense – but do them no good – they all owe the American people big time for what they stole from us – asset seizure and penalties will fill the treasury back up again.

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

It needs to be provable beyond a reasonable doubt to a jury.
You obviously believe he’s guilty. So do I. What will it take to convince a jury of 12 of his peers that he wilfully ordered it? Some piece of written evidence, or some witness testifying that he ordered it. On the latter score, any quoted statement with a bit of ambiguity he can claim the guy just misunderstood him and proceeded without his authorization, so it has to be a direct, unambiguous command to spy on the Trump campaign/transition team.
If neither one of those is present because he was smart enough to do it in a way that leaves no evidence…he skates.

We are waiting for the evidence to be aligned – as it mounts – there will be no doubt – no one is above the law – they are all connected – nothing ambiguous –
I do not doubt the power of God! It is He who is in charge!

Hmm. Interesting.
Perhaps the Episcopalian pastor (Bethesda-by-the-Sea) hinted they were no longer welcome or that too much security was required? Or, perhaps this is a build up to 2020?
Sorry, I cannot access the article from the Palm Beach Daily News (‘Shiny Sheet’), which is geo-localised:

And, those spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms have much more power and influence than we do. That is one of the reasons we must realize that we need God in order to combat that evil, and recognize that it will only be by God’s mercy and grace to us and by His power over the evil forces that the ultimate victory over those forces will be won.

This was posted OT in the Rep Rogers VS Dir. Rogers… Produced by Roger Stone, but a good history of Ukraine and why they are the way that they are….”Ukraine on Fire”
Just started watching myself so no overall feedback yet….1:33 hrs long, most is post WWII, with most of that recent history it seems focusing on corruption post fall of the Soviet Union

New Senate Bill 57 aims to fix Calif. voter registration errors

Gail Combs

Well that is a useless waste of time. The DemonRats are FINE the way the system works (in their favor) and are NOT about to fix it.

duchess01

No – they are not – however – they cannot let over registrations stand – by drawing attention to it – there is still hope.

And you know, these musicians (like the singers and vocal soloists in the service choruses) are trained professionals who chose to audition for the service music units instead of for orchestras, opera companies, etc.
A couple of my fellow students in conservatory were fantastic players who joined the service orchestras.

Hmmm…no I did not know that, CV – thanks for the heads up.

“…Crop duster spreads 100 gallons of holy water on Louisiana town….”
Duchess, they should have done that to DC while Congress is in session. The place would probably melt into the ground!

WELL,WELL, well
Lil marco….
𝙳𝚛. 𝚀𝚞𝚒𝚐𝚕𝚎𝚢 did a thread on Dan Senor in connection to the Ukraine wondering if Rudy was looking into Dan.
https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1209359620990480384.html

”Dan Senor founded Rosemont with Chris Heinz who most people know is John Kerry’s stepson. They have multiple LLCs and made famous over Biden & Burisma…
It might, Senor was born in the Neocon wasteland as a Carlyle Group & Bill Kristol groomed propagandist who quickly rose through the ranks to become a key voice in our invasion of Iraq working under Paul Bremer….
Eventually went to work for Paul Ryan and Mitt Romney.
As a sidenote, according to @The_War_Economy this Rosemont entity shared the same address and phone number of the Heinz Family Foundation….”

And then he drops this BOMB!comment image

Yeah, my eyes bugged out when I read his thread. Incestuous bunch aren’t they?
Well that answers why Lil marco said what he did.

I don’t like Soros as a thoroughly disagree with his business practices and politics. However, we need to be accurate when criticizing him and when telling others why to dislike him.
that is not Soros in the Nazi uniform

POTUS gave Barr Declass once, he can do it again. Who cares about Boasberg? Durham can get it all. Sleeper Coates is gone, Wray is next.

Best Christmas present evah – my son and wife telling me and my wife that she is “with child”. I was blamed for it because I whispered in her ear, make babies, at Thanksgiving dinner even though they suspected she was pregnant back then. Her response, which made me blush, was we’re trying. Well, success.
They showed us a sonogram of the seven week old. I got as excited about it as I did with my own two kids.
Make room, America. Another pede is on the way.

Sometimes it feels like the left are just a bunch of hopeless drones, but stories like this thread really give me hope that the world is changing. Highly recommend clicking this tweet and reading the whole thread:

The left are just a bunch of drones.
They’re not hopeless drones, though, because every once in a while one of them ceases to be a drone.

I see our POTUS now has a new name for old Nancy. She is now Crazy Nancy. Very appropriate. 🙂
