On this day and every day –
God is in Control
. . . and His Grace is Sufficient, so . . .
Keep Looking Up
Hopefully, every Sunday, we can find something here that will build us up a little . . . give us a smile . . . and add some joy or peace, very much needed in all our lives.
“This day is holy to the Lord your God;
do not mourn nor weep.” . . .
“Go your way, eat the fat, drink the sweet,
and send portions to those for whom nothing is prepared;
for this day is holy to our Lord.
Do not sorrow,
for the joy of the Lord is your strength.”
A New Beginning
The New Jerusalem, which is also called the Tabernacle of God, the Holy City, the City of God, the Celestial City, the City Foursquare, and Heavenly Jerusalem, is literally heaven on earth. It’s referred to in the Bible in several places (Galatians 4:26; Hebrews 11:10; 12:22–24; and 13:14), but it’s most fully described in Revelation 21.
In Revelation 21, the recorded history of man is at its end. All of the ages have come and gone. Christ has gathered His church in the Rapture (1 Thessalonians 4:15–17). The Tribulation has passed (Revelation 6—18). The battle of Armageddon has been fought and won by our Lord Jesus Christ (Revelation 19:17–21). Satan has been chained for the 1,000-year reign of Christ on earth (Revelation 20:1–3). A new, glorious temple has been established in Jerusalem (Ezekiel 40—48). The final rebellion against God has been quashed, and Satan has received his just punishment, an eternity in the lake of fire (Revelation 20:7–10.) The Great White Throne Judgment has taken place, and mankind has been judged (Revelation 20:11–15).
In Revelation 21:1 God does a complete make-over of heaven and earth (Isaiah 65:17; 2 Peter 3:12–13). The new heaven and new earth are what some call the “eternal state” and will be “where righteousness dwells” (2 Peter 3:13). After the re-creation, God reveals the New Jerusalem. John sees a glimpse of it in his vision: “The Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband” (Revelation 21:2). This is the city that Abraham looked for in faith (Hebrews 11:10). It is the place where God will dwell with His people forever (Revelation 21:3). Inhabitants of this celestial city will have all tears wiped away (Revelation 21:4).
The New Jerusalem will be fantastically huge. John records that the city is nearly 1,400 miles long, and it is as wide and as high as it is long—the New Jerusalem being in equal in length, width, and height (Revelation 21:15–17). The city will be dazzling in every way. It’s lighted by the glory of God (verse 23). Its twelve foundations, bearing the names of the twelve apostles, are “decorated with every kind of precious stone” (verse 19). It has twelve gates, each a single pearl, bearing the names of the twelve tribes of Israel (verses 12 and 21). The street will be made of pure gold (verse 21).
The New Jerusalem will be a place of unimagined blessing. The curse of the old earth will be gone (Revelation 22:3). In the city are the tree of life “for the healing of the nations” and the river of life (verses 1–2). It is the place that Paul spoke of: “In the coming ages [God] might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus” (Ephesians 2:7). The New Jerusalem is the ultimate fulfillment of all God’s promises. The New Jerusalem is God’s goodness made fully manifest.
Who are the residents of the New Jerusalem? The Father and the Lamb are there (Revelation 21:22). Angels are at the gates (verse 12). But the city will be filled with God’s redeemed children. The New Jerusalem is the righteous counter to the evil Babylon (Revelation 17), destroyed by God’s judgment (Revelation 18). The wicked had their city, and God has His.
To which city do you belong? Babylon the Great or the New Jerusalem? If you believe that Jesus, the Son of God, died and rose again and have asked God to save you by His grace, then you are a citizen of the New Jerusalem. “God raised [you] up with Christ and seated [you] with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus” (Ephesians 2:6). You have “an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade” (1 Peter 1:4).
If you have not yet trusted Christ as your Savior, then we urge you to receive Him. The invitation is extended: “The Spirit and the bride say, ‘Come!’ And let the one who hears say, ‘Come!’ Let the one who is thirsty come; and let the one who wishes take the free gift of the water of life” (Revelation 22:17).
Remember . . . despite these explicit descriptions of New Jerusalem, characteristics that we can partially envision but not yet fully grasp the enormity and grandeur . . . despite reading about God’s glory as light, the size, the gold streets, the jeweled foundations, the enormous pearl gates and the angels . . . despite all of this . . .
No eye has ever seen or no ear has ever heard
or no mind has ever thought of the wonderful things
God has made ready for those who love Him.
1 Corinthians 2:9
In other words, it’s impossible for us even imagine the wonders that God has in store for us . . .

Again – thank you, brother.

How to Survive as Remnant Believers
By Jan Markell
February 7, 2023
https://harbingersdaily.com/how-to-survive-as-remnant-believers/
Karen spurred me on to write some rules for remnant survival. I hope they will help you survive what can be a lonely road!
Many of today’s churches—and thankfully not all of them—are following the church-growth formula that will never include issues remnant believers love to hear about. This was predicted. The rise of apostasy, wolves, false teachers, and more, may be the most prominent end-time warning in the Bible. Finding the right church sometimes takes years for remnant believers.
If you’re going to be a remnant survivor, you need to figure out how to be a part of the solution to this sad state of church affairs. Bouncing from church to church is likely not the best idea. But sitting multiple times a week under bad theology, music with spiritually unhealthy lyrics, or leadership that is just dysfunctional, is also not an option. Cutting yourself off from fellowship is no better.
A remnant of fabric is a discarded piece of cloth that no longer has a purpose—until someone comes along and makes a beautiful quilt out of it. You may be that quilt. You will ultimately shine brightly, certainly in eternity, but perhaps before. So don’t despair.
ThanQ.
At the rate we are going, survival planning might not be the way. Better might be how to prepare for mass conversions.
You mean like all the mass that is converted to energy when a nuclear bomb goes off?
…
(I didn’t think so.) 😀
Very well said, thank you. We see the dispare in our culture happening before us daily. But as Carl has shown, if we keep looking up we’ll see His glory in all of this.
Very helpful, thank you michaelh!
This is a blessing to me. Thank you
Pierre Kory, M.D.:
I got my HCQ and IVM and Quercetin, Zinc, D3 – ready for any virus that I encounter!
Yep – it works. Other nations across the planet know it as well. Yet, the sheeple here continue to bleat and follow their shepherd to the slaughter.
I will just keep stating the obvious and presenting the evidence. It’s sort of like not accepting Jesus as one’s Savior. Ultimately it is a personal decision. Choose life or choose death.
Good. I thought it was interesting that ivermectin can prevent people from getting COVID.
WHO KNEW, ivermectin could prevent Covid?
Quit horsing around with that paste.
/s
Wait, it’s horses, so hold your horses. You mean glue? /s
🙄 😂
Good post, TT. Thank you, more evidence.
YW. This one stresses prevention, which I found significant.
Sweet ride!
Yup. The ChiCom ballons are a PSY-OP on the American public (one message), on the American military (different message), and on the American government and media (still other messages).
Collapse, Oh Babylon
Pepe Lives Matter
https://pepelivesmatter.substack.com/p/collapse-oh-babylon
A person can only handle witnessing such heinous levels of corruption day in and day out for so long without becoming utterly fatigued and weary. The cry of justice only grows as you witness firsthand the evil that Babylon fosters and encourages.
There are few who know and are as acquainted with the reality of evil as the anon/independent journalist during this period of time.
Every pillar of that corruption has been systematically exposed like we’ve never seen before. Day in and day out, we watch and dwell on that reality. How easy it is to feel despair if this is all we know. It was far worse than any of us ever could have imagined.
How is the anon supposed to feel when everything on the outside seems to be saying that these giants cannot be removed in our time?
Without God, they would have every reason to believe there is no chance and maybe that is the point…
Babylon is so all-encompassing that only a miracle can truly deliver the world from her clutches.
Perhaps you are supposed to understand deeply. God woke you up for a reason, didn’t he?
As many walk around ignorant as sheep, you behold the truth.
But a system of evil is only one truth, a fading one at that.
And when the truth of God’s victory is put on display before all creation.
Will you not be filled with unspeakable joy?
You sowed your blood, sweat, faith, and tears.
None of that goes without God noticing and hearing.
You are given the honor of being awake in this generation and, although the burden may feel heavy at times, it is a beautiful privilege.
And when the towers of Babylon collapse before your very eyes, no one will be able to take away your joy as you look with awe at what God has done.
You’ll know in that moment that all the heartache was worth it, just to get to that moment of finality.
You were witness to Babylon’s deep corruption and God’s power and ability to throw it all down in the blink of an eye.
God’s utter triumph over unthinkable evil will be permanently etched into your soul.
Steve Kirsch:
What funeral directors know that you don’t
https://stevekirsch.substack.com/p/what-funeral-directors-know-that
IMO, there is a high likelihood that the CDC and FDA both know about these figures.
Along with the work of Dr. Ryan Cole.
And the FDA has, starting from the fall of 2020, the ACTUAL study data results by Pfizer-BioNTech about the animal AND the human company-performed trials for BNT162b2 (also called “Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine / COMIRNATY”), which the FDA granted the initial EUA for to use in the United States in December, 2020 — and is still in use here. It is impossible that the FDA would not share this data with the CDC.
This is the SAME “vaccine” that the CDC formally added to the Childhood Vaccination Schedule as of last week.
This, despite other countries like Denmark, which stopped COVID-19 “vaccination” for people under age 50 (unless there’s a “severe risk” of infection, or an under age-50 person is “in close contact” with an elderly or immunocompromised person.) The official Danish stance is that COVID-19 ‘vaccination” was stopped because the “virus had been brought under control” in the country.
Amen, Carl!
This seems like a good place to post.
In yesterdays thread after learning of more Balloons, Aubergine asked a good question “What the heck is going on?”
Let me post this first before I offer an answer, I grabbed the first chart I could find that showed the three levels of warfare.
At this point view points on the Balloon run from “Oh my God!” to totally dismissive to comical “Put you’re clothes on Sally Mae!”.
I’ll treat the first two. Second one first.
The Dismissive view point is that satellites can catch it all, why bother. From there they examine other reasons, which is to mock our country or possibly slip in something like an EMP after we get used to balloons tracing across our skies. All fair.
The “Oh My God” crowd are being made to look a bit paranoid especially with only speculation to back them up. But here’s what has been briefed by an Air Force General.
Okay, it’s a spy balloon. But why rely on a balloon and not satellite?
As mentioned before a balloon provides more continuous surveillance of an area than a satellite because it can stay on station longer providing a longer exposure to a tactical or possibly operational objective. But possibly more important than that is a balloon can be dedicated to the lower dweebs because they don’t rate satellite time. The big guys control the satellites and while they can do it all, their major focus will be Strategic and to lesser extant Operational. If you want to use it for tactical stuff you need a note from Chairman Xi or his Spy Master and I doubt they’ll want to be bothered by every Colonel and General in their military since they have thousands of those.
The only persons using balloons over the USA right now are DHS and various police, supposedly for counter terrorism. Their law enforcement use would certainly be on the lower level of tactical use down to the squad and platoon level. Tactical use is squad, platoon, company, battalion right up to Division where it crosses into the Operational use.
So now comes the thing about when do you want this information if your using it for tactical purposes? The answer of course is just before or during the mission. So we know there’s no immanent missions underway right now. Hopefully.
So why do they want tactical information right now?
Answer IMO would be they are now being allowed to practice plan and practice war gaming at the tactical level and their planners have asked for this kind of dedicated resource now because the chances of getting it during the middle of a conflict would be much less. So in essence at the minimum this spells out intentions. FJB!
At this point view points on the Balloon run from “Oh my God!” to totally dismissive to comical “Put you’re clothes on Sally Mae!”.
__________
From the moment I heard about it, it made no sense that it wasn’t immediately shot out of the sky.
That’s the normal reaction, or at least it should be. It’s so basic and obvious that it’s hard to believe there would be any controversy.
If a communist adversary invades your air space, you shoot it down, and ask questions later.
Either that, or they own you.
It’s like a humiliation ritual, and our military’s response was “thank you, may I have another”.
I don’t know what part of that is hard to understand.
It has nothing to do with fear of a balloon, and everything to do with self-respect. No credible nation allows a hostile adversary to invade their air space. I don’t care if it’s a fighter jet, or a balloon, or a paper airplane.
It’s a matter of principle that is so fundamental, it’s hard to imagine a scenario where any other response would be appropriate.
It doesn’t matter if they were ‘testing’ our response, it doesn’t matter what they were doing or why, because there is only one response that should happen, and it should happen every single time.
What was alarming was the response of the government — and more specifically, the LACK thereof — to a foreign adversary invading our air space.
I didn’t think my respect for our military could sink any lower, but they proved me wrong again.
I don’t know if they’re asleep at the switch, or if they’re stoned out of their minds, or if they’re just clueless millennial goofs, or maybe they were having an all night LGBT swingin’ get together while the enemy invaded our air space. Maybe they were out at a kneeling session on brokeback mountain.
Maybe they just don’t understand that chyna is an enemy, or maybe they don’t understand that when the enemy kicks sand in your face, the proper response is to break his leg.
I don’t know what their latest excuse is, and this point it doesn’t matter. The U.S. military is a bad joke.
It shouldn’t even be a national news story. If an adversary floats a balloon toward us, it should get shot down the moment it crossed into U.S. territorial waters.
The military should then collect the wreckage and do analysis. Maybe it gets a mention on the front page of a local newspaper, and the back page of a national newspaper.
But to do nothing at all, to allow an adversary to float surveillance balloons all across our country, that is the outrage.
That the people charged with protecting our nation do NOTHING is the outrage.
Nothing about the invasion of our border.
Nothing about hostile invasion of our air space.
Nothing about the theft of the presidency and an UNCONSTITUTIONAL transfer of power.
Nothing.
Nothing about nothing.
All by design, brought to you by TPTB.
I am not having a lot of confidence in our military at this point.
One thing for sure. Something I haven’t heard speculated about yet, but the first report on the balloon was in all likely leaked by someone in the military to that local news reporter. So that means that somewhere deep inside the military there exists a mole that still has allegiance to the United States of America. Imagine what it must mean that we would need an anonymous whistle blower to alert the public to this. One that learned. a) there is CCP spy balloon on the way and b) the plan is to let it proceed.
I thought it was an editor at the Billings Gazette who saw it during a work break and called the nearby AF base.
If we are talking about the woman that did the tweet, that’s how it was presented, yes. But how did she know where to look? I speculate she was tipped off. If the editor is a different person, I speculate that they were tipped off.
FYI, DHS has 12 balloons at the border assisting with surveillance. It helps them count the known gottaways among other things. Only 4 are currently operational. The whole program costs $45-$55 MILLION for 5 years. They just announced this will be the last year for the final 4 as they will be grounded due to ‘lack of funds’. 😡 Probably using the money on illegals. BP agents are pizzled, So much for tools to keep the country safe with eyes in the sky!! 🤬🤬🤬
Those balloons are “aerostats” meaning that they are tethered to the ground so they won’t move off station. The cable is often well over ten thousand feet long. (I don’t know one way or the other, but it’s possible the cable supplies electrical power to the aerostat, too.)
Check out the VFR chart for florida, for instance. It’s divided into a number of squares with the maximum elevation printed in each square. You can fly at or above that altitude and be sure not to hit terrain, buildings etc. Some of the squares have something outrageous printed in them, like 15,000 or more feet (nothing in CONUS is that high); those are the squares that have an aerostat in them.
Sometimes the cable breaks or the balloon bursts; then they have to deploy another one.
Since these things are a hazard to aviation, they can’t keep them secret.
You shoulda splained it on the news!
This shows the Twitter crew’s testimony to Congress and their distorted mindset. Take a moment to read . . .
Righteous Tyrants
No, they’re not cutting off food supplies or building labor camps but these modern-day tyrants seek the same ends: crush the opposition and control the masses.

Just like the tyrants of old, this current crop hides its lust for power behind a cloak of fairness and the “common good.” No, they’re not cutting off food supplies or building labor camps but these modern-day tyrants seek the same ends: crush the opposition and control the masses.
Just with a lot less talent.
Apart from fast forward past the D’s, I watched all the hearing and thought Gadde and Roth appeared visibly cowed, the other two were smug.
What little I saw, Gadde and Roth know they are corrupt AND acted with malice.
Baker knows the system (DOJ / FIB) will protect him. Shang on the end, can’t recall her saying anything in the clips I saw.
Sadly, I am not confident, any of them will pay a price through the courts.

Orban’s a smart cookie. I hope he doesn’t restrict himself to pattycake.
Me too … fingers crossed…
I hope he throws out color-revolution FIB on their asses.
Anybody who watches Dick Wolf’s TV series “FBI International” would realize that Soros and his Hollywood minions CRAVE Hungary, and their go-to premise is America vs. all bad things right-wing in Hungary, which must be “saved” by woke principles that the people of Hungary so desire.
IMO, Samantha Power was sent to Hungary to “supervise” the coup.
YES!!!
That lead to a strange thing. I didn’t understand that phrase, so put it in as a search term and got no sensible results. So I altered the controls on Brave to get a wider search….and it wanted me to prove I was human, locked the screen and wouldn’t allow me to go backwards. Never had a search engine do that before.
Think of #THOP that we have been cautioned against in our host’s Rules.
Oh right, am a bit slow on the uptake this morning, but still wondering why brave wanted to know if I was human.
Curiosity. Skynet was just curious, that’s all.
Nicely done!

BE MY VOICE
BABY LIVES MATTER
JESUS LOVES THE LITTLE CHILDREN
PRAYING ON THE ARMOR OF GOD
Father God, I now follow your command to put on the full armor of God, because my battle is not against flesh and blood but against rulers, authorities, the powers of this dark world and against spiritual forces of evil in the unseen world.
I first pray on the Belt of Truth that it may be buckled around my waist, may I be centered and encircled by your truth dear Lord. Hem me inside all that is true and right, and may I be protected and held up by the truth of your living word, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Breastplate of righteousness, please protect my vital organs and my inner man, cover my integrity, my spirit, and my soul. Guard my heart for it is the wellspring of life, please strengthen and guard the most vulnerable places in my life with that which is right, good, and noble that I might not receive a fatal blow from the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Gospel Shoes of Peace. I choose to stand in the shoes of your good news, and on the firm foundation of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the solid eternal rock. All other ground is sinking sand, I pray that I will not slip or fall, but that my feet would be firmly fitted on your lordship, my Lord Jesus. I choose to stand on you, so that the peace of God, which transcends all understanding will guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus, the eternal Rock of Ages. I receive your holy peace now my Lord, from the sole of my feet to the crown of my head, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray the Shield of Faith into my hand now. As I take up the shield of faith, I ask that you might extinguish every dart and arrow, that is launched from the enemy to take me down spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally, and every attempt of the enemy to destroy my joy. I ask that my faith in you would make it flame out. Extinguish every flaming arrow that would come against me, my life, my family, my home, or my ministry. May my faith always be out in front of me like a shield. Give me the courage to “faith my fears” by choosing to walk by faith and not by sight, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Helmet of Salvation, that you might protect my mind from the thoughts that can lead me astray. I choose to take every thought captive, and arrest all intentioned ideas and motives that would harm others, or distract me from your holy will for me. I submit every captured thought to the Lordship of my Lord Jesus Christ, and ask that you would imprison those thoughts that are not of you my Lord. Transform my mind and renew my thinking that I may think God thoughts, and have a sober mind that is focused on your glory. Please protect me from being double minded that I may allow my mind, I reject to live an earthly life, because I choose to live a holy one, governed by you My Lord Jesus, the prince of peace, please have my mind to be saturated with the holy mind of Christ, in my Lord Jesus name.
Finally, I take up the Sword of the Spirit which is the holy word of God, I pray this powerful offensive weapon into my hand, and ask that your holy word would be fitting for every encounter I face. As the enemy gets close to me, please give me the insight, wisdom, and skill to wield the word of God to drive away the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
May the enemy and his team flee from me, upon hearing the word of God spoken by the power and direction of the Holy Spirit. Give me the sword of the spirit to cut through the wiles of the devil, so that I may discern the schemes of the enemy when he is near.
With all kinds of prayers, supplication, and intercession I pray to you my Lord God as the one who fights my battles. Now that I’m in your holy powerful armor, I walk away covered and ready to face my day as you go before me, and please protect me in the midst of the spiritual warfare in this unseen world, in my Lord Jesus name.
Thank you my Lord, for the spiritual weapons of armor and prayer that you have given me. It is written no weapon formed against me shall prosper, and you will refute every tongue that accuses me.
Thank you Father God, my Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit, that I am more than a conqueror in my Lord Jesus. I pray all of this in the mighty name of my Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ.
AMEN.
PLEASE PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER
https://expose-news.com/2022/12/03/covid-vaccinated-children-137x-more-likely-die-2/
Yours Truly: This article and accompanying stats regard COVID-19 “vaccinated” children in the United Kingdom. However, IMO, it needs to be also viewed in light of what will happen in the United States, now that the CDC has formally added COVID-19 “vaccination” to the Childhood Vaccination Schedule.]
https://expose-news.com/2023/02/11/drs-graphene-shed-c19-vaccinated-to-unvaccinated/
Yours Truly: Even it’s not exactly graphene / graphene oxide in some form, SOMETHING is likely “shedding” from “vaccinated” persons.
https://stevekirsch.substack.com/p/new-paper-an-esimated-13-million
Yours Truly: This article discusses a new paper in which it appears that an estimated 13 million persons worldwide have died from the effects of the COVID-19 “vaccines.”
Yours Truly will posit that “an estimated 13 million persons worldwide have died from the effects of the COVID-19 “vaccines”” to likely be considered an “acceptable risk” by health agencies (say, the FDA / WHO), in light of the AT LEAST 2 BILLION persons worldwide who took any COVID-19 “vaccine.” (In other words — “2 Billion were “vaccinated”, perhaps 13 million died as a result — 13 million is a tiny percentage of 2 Billion — that’s an acceptable risk as far as we’re concerned” thinking.)
This type of thinking may be behind the FDA’s and the CDC’s knowing, but completely ignoring, the “vaccine safety signals” that have been crossed by these “vaccines” in the United States that would, UNDER NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES, have resulted in the “vaccines” being immediately taken off the market and all “vaccination” stopped.
There’s always an excuse.
Slow guy figures:
FDA IGNORED science, in favor of Job Security, financial reward (regular pay, bonus, promotions…).^^^ Same logic Pravda News and Big tech is in lock step with CDC.^^^ Same logic politicians AND deep stateIIRC, CDC/FDA not required to be Injected. Sorta like Congress / staff.>>> Covidiocy AND Covidiot Injections a subset of the Global Reset effort.
FDA? Isn’t that the agency that stopped the production of baby food after one or two babies were suspected of dying because the food plant allegedly may of caused the deaths? Same FDA that just had Goya and Armor recall tons of product because someone allegedly saw a sloppy process but no actual damage to cans or such has been found? Pretty sure the FDA has been doing this recalls for quite a long time.
Vaccines though? Not so much, even when bad lots can clearly be shown to be a problem.
Their ‘objective’ is killing people, reducing the numbers…
What I have difficulty understanding is, the globo’s can fix it so they get no jab or a saline jab, however they can’t isolate themselves from the rest of us entirely. Even if they try to only mix in their own circles they can’t avoid us, so unless there is some secret cure they’ve made a fatal mistake.
Maybe, globo’s are not as smart as they believe. <<< My Bet.
Perhaps they take zinc and HCQ daily 😉
Yes but if it’s true as mentioned by RDS above and the jab can be got via shedding, the stuff we’ve all been taking was to ward off covid, not sure how it works on the jab.
Ohh, I was talking about those who had not been jabbed …
Regarding The Expose article about “graphene shedding” from “vaccinated” persons to “un-vaccinated” persons:
The person making the claim is Philippe van Welbergen, a Homeopathic Medicine doctor who runs a clinic in England. Yours Truly believes that Dr. Welbergen is one of the “old-school” homeopathic physicians who have medical training along the lines of the Hahnemann school (in other words, not an herbalist, or a naturopathic practitioner, or a chiropractor.)
It is unclear, at least in my reading, in The Expose’s article as to whether the entire spike protein and its mRNA are “shed”. If I’m reading correctly, Dr. Wilbergen is convinced that there is some type of graphene element in the COVID-19 “vaccines” formulation; and that this element is being “shed” from “vaccinated” persons to “un-vaccinated” persons. This element, whatever its makeup, is apparently causing the blood of “un-vaccinated” persons to coagulate and “clump” similar to what has been observed in the blood of “vaccinated” persons. The slides presented in the article about this occurring are quite startling, IMO.
In any case, IMO, following a protocol for keeping the blood “clean” and free-flowing, such as the supplements outlined by Dr. Robert Malone (himself injured from his “vaccinations” and is now on blood-thinners) may be a good idea in general. Taking nattokinase or serrapeptase may also help (one defers to our good Aubergine here). A word of caution: if a person is already taking blood thinners (Warfarin, etc.), and/or is taking high blood pressure medications, they need to talk with their doctor first.
I agree RAC. They can try to depopulate the world, but after awhile, their own toilets will not flush.
Yessirreee!
Hudson thinks U.S. wants WWIII. How would they finance it?
What if climate change agenda is more about finance capitalism and less about saving the environment? U.S. business wants to scarf up Africa’s and South America’s mineral wealth while enslaving their people and bribing off officials. And then force the world to buy electric cars, and retire coal and other fossil fuel powered homes and industries and replace them all with solar or wind-powered. If that’s the goal, the same 1% makes all the money from this scheme.
That’s been one of my pet theories about the southern invasion. I believe that the caravans offer the deal to specific regions. They wouldn’t even need to be land owners…just clearing out resource rich areas. ‘They’ want the land and if that means making deals with cartels, no biggie.
They want cheap labor here also… and young men to fight against us, and the children to traffic… the churches help them reach those goals…
Yes. It was never about whatever it said it was about. It promoted bad science – one point of view that gave maximum power to those who want to control humanity.
Perfect description of what China has been doing for the last 30 years, and especially the last 15. The US isn’t anywhere near the only bad guy here.
The Chinese are notorious for their predatory deals with African leaders, that make European deals with Native American leaders look like charity. The standing joke is that they build a highway from the capital to the leader’s villa, in exchange for rights to mine the nation dry.
What Pompeo and the neocons want to do is to STEAL AFRICA BACK, after China stole Africa from everybody else during Obama.
“Everybody Wants To Rule The World”
Exactly.
The forces that are “above the finance world” have designs. Climate change is a bogus part of that which serves some purpose we don’t fully understand, IMO. We can understand parts of their plan. Clearly much of what we see (control, depop, enslavement) are a big part of it.
They manipulate one side against the other to maintain control. THAT is why ANTIFA and the NAZIS are just two sides of the same coin they make us grab.

Trump’s Running Mate?
Both Trump and Lake got skunked by brazenly crooked elections – so they can run on election integrity!!!!
They can get that feisty Catherine Englebrecht to speak at their RALLIES!!!!!
Can’t wait for them there RALLIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YESS!!!!!!!🤸♀️🤸♀️🤸♀️🤸♀️🤸♀️
Good by me.
That is the upside to her losing that election. Before she lost, we didn’t want her to be VP because we wanted to give her time to fix Arizona. Now that’s not an issue (unless she somehow does manage to get it overturned, but that’s only slightly more likely than my winning the lotto, and I don’t play).
That would place her next in line for 2028 rather than DeSantis. Not bad. I read something about her possibly running for the Senate too, but I don’t know if that was just speculation or whether she actually said she would consider it. I really want her to defeat the cheaters in AZ.
Here We Go Again: Skies Over Lake Michigan Closed for “National Defense Purposes” (thegatewaypundit.com)
Today is both Abraham Lincoln’s and Charles Darwin’s birthday, no only that but also they were both born in 1809.
I named Darwin (the lizard) after the city of Darwin, Australia, which was named after the bay it’s on; that bay has had that name since 1839. Darwin (the city) is almost in the range of his specific species (Pogona vitticeps). (There are seven or eight species of bearded dragons, all in Australia.)
I did not realize that despite the early date (Charles Darwin didn’t become famous until 1859 and the publication of Origin of Species), that the bay and city were nevertheless named after him! The name was given by John Clements Wickham, captain of the HMS Beagle during its third voyage, the one after the famous one Darwin took. (Wickham had been first lieutenant on the second voyage and therefore knew Darwin.) The town founded was named Palmerston until 1911, when it was renamed Darwin, this time probably because by then Charles Darwin was indeed famous.
So though I named Darwin the Celebrity Lizard after the city and I thought the name was a coincidence, that naming does end up being indirectly for Charles Darwin.
IMO, this makes your Darwin quite famous!
So how is Darwin the Lizard progressing on his journey to evolve into … whatever?
(Individuals don’t evolve.)
He’s shedding, a lot–this is a healthy sign for a lizard. They’ll generally replace different parts of their skin at different times this way. It happens he’s shedding on his rear legs, chin, and sides right now.

DID THE U.S. ECONOMY REALLY PRODUCE A HALF MILLION NEW JOBS WHEN SO MANY MAJOR COMPANIES ARE LAYING OFF WORKERS?

NO WAY IN HADES!!!
I noticed in yesterday’s forum that quite a few forum members were waxing eloquent and at great length about the new appliance age. Well apparently you guys are not the only ones to notice. I ran across a new article (actually quite funny) about the new Appliance Rebellion. People here being early adopters of all things rebellious, I reasoned that some of you would be interested. Read and enjoy.
https://www.steynonline.com/13247/tal-bachman-the-appliance-rebellion-starts-here
Its unnecessary tech. And rather lazy too. I can vacuum, turn on the washing machine, and write a shopping list myself.
Amen Darlin’ … Amen. Simply another wherein we have lost control.
I have lived the entire cycle … wash board (yes, gr/grandmother had one… and one of those ‘wringer’ type machines) … to the Maytags that lasted 30 years and now this junk! That lasts … ? And refrigerators! Don’t get me started! When Hubby married we bought a used one for $75.00. Years later, when we bought a bigger house, we bought a new one for a couple of hundred, put the old one in the garage for watermelons and extra beverages for company (and it lasted 15 years). We’re on the 3rd one here … gifted by bride’s father (she lived here rent free for 3 years) when the existing ‘fridge died. Since he was paying, they bought new one, never asked my input… got one with freezer on side, ice water etc. Come October they discovered no room for a turkey … sigh
end of rant …
I tend to leave out words these days … in a hurry I guess before my ticket gets punched 😉 Y’all are smart cookies, good at filling in, right?
Sometimes I read fast and don’t notice left-out words, typos, and the like (including my own). It’s the gist of it that counts!
Thank you TT … I share your view…
Ahh at least you havent spent 1000s like people do now.
My parents as newlyweds bought a used fridge from a guy who refurbed them for I think $30. He said they could choose any fridge he had so Dad chose the one the business owner was using. It’s been in my parents’ basement my whole life & they are going on 61 years of marriage in April! Things were built to last & they did!
Yes they were Valerie …
🙂
This is actually a totally different issue from what we were discussing…the new appliances suck because they’re bowing to the god of “Energy Efficiency.”
There’s no reason appliances that suck like that have to be smart; there’s no reason either a good or bad appliance has to be connected to the internet. In some cases there may be a minor benefit to connecting it…provided of course YOU control it, and not someone else.
I stand corrected.
No, no! It’s absolutely a legit complaint! Just not the same one! And I enjoyed the article.
I have relatives with one of those super long cycle washers. I don’t know if it does its job well (after all that time) or not; I need to ask them.
No problem Steve. I am a big fan of precision in communication. I remember there was discussion yesterday of smart devices and the IoT (internet of things). From the interest generated yesterday I reasoned some of you would get a smile from an anecdotal field report about the woes of a computer-chipped washer. There was a saying that I would hear from time to time in church circles that went something like this: “He/she is so heavenly-minded that they are no earthly good.” Some of these engineers have become so “chip happy” that their device is too “smart” to do what it was designed and built to do.
Agreed.
This can manifest itself as tons of features added, to the point no one can figure out how to use it. (Microwaves with clocks so you can program them to cook at such-and-such time, for instance. How many people never set the clock on their VCR, much less their microwave?)
To a certain extent, “tons of features” “to the point no one can figure out how to use it” is just a description of a personal computer.
I do not connect applyances to Internet I could but know people who got locked out of Fridge. My daughter on the other hand likes all the bells and whistles.
They’re making us pay for lower efficiency and inclusion of spyware.
Yep.
Thank you so much for posting this! I have one of the ‘new’ HD models that performs (non performs actually) as the article points. It’s a long story… and filled with ‘drama’ so I’ll not bore y’all and get straight to the point. After I paid for repairman to change out washer connections (can’t get cold water, plenty of hot) and problem, among many others still existed, grandson and bride were forced to go to a laundromat. Discussion before their departure elevated to “Grandma you broke the sensor because you added water to the cycle… you and your generation are responsible for using too much water and so many other problems.” Discussion did not end well as I am not bashful about expressing my views. There will be a summit meeting shortly, wherein, Grandma… will inform the young socialists that the time has come for them to be on their own, find an apartment, near their work 45 mis away… save on wear and tear on new car …
I love em, but … ain’t havin’ it …
Good on ya!
You big meanie!
I know … it’s going to be harder than I can express … and I will do it with a smile and the velvet glove us Southern women are known for … but do I will.
You are better than I because I am very direct . I admirer you for your southern flair 🙂
Thank you SingingSoul …
You are welcome 🙂
LOL, I know it’s not funny but it tickles me. My daughter the pseudo-socialist will wash loads twice because the washers auto water save but don’t really get things clean at times. She blasts their furnace, uses dishwasher couple times a day…but yeah…climate change and us old fruitloops are energy abusers !!!
Same here … ‘Bride’ runs dishwasher every day sometimes only 1/4 full!
Oh yeah… get that. I know that any one of us here could save more energy any day of the week than they do. We know how to put on an extra layer if it’s cold. Do multiple errands to save gas. Eat leftovers, freeze things for another day.
I’ve seen dtr throw away things that had dog poop on them…for goodness sake…it’s not that hard too clean things instead of buying new shoes or small throw rugs…YKWIM!
Exactly…
You should not have a sentence with ‘dog poop’ in it following a sentence that has the phrase ‘eat leftovers’.
Us speed readers get the wrong meaning and have to go back to read it again.
😂
hahahh…I’ll try but no promises !
Seriously got slow guy’s attention.
Laughing here. Not a speed reader, but, I had a WTF moment. Had to go back and read it much slower.

Tough love. ❤
Interesting and enlightening! Thank you.
My parents had a refrigerator (Frigidaire) that lasted from 1968 to around 2008. Would have lasted longer if they had it repaired.
Made in USA, BPO.
Before planned obsolescence.
We had an Amana lasted 26 years was sold with the house. In Germany they tell people appliances like oven and dish washer wash machine last about 5 years.
“In Germany they tell people appliances like oven and dish washer wash machine last about 5 years.”
______________
I wouldn’t spend that much money on anything that only lasted 5 years.
I wash my dishes by hand anyway, same as I had to do as a child. We had a dishwasher (besides me, i.e., a machine), but I had to wash them with dish washing soap and sponge first before putting anything in the dishwasher 🙄
Made no sense, and I always said so. They were clean when I was done washing them. Washing them again in the dishwasher meant either I didn’t need to wash them by hand in the first place, or they just liked wasting water and electricity.
It took us almost 30 years to get a dishwasher why get one if you have three kids and a wife to do the dishes 🙂
I have an LG wash machine and like it a lot. We bought it 3-4 years ago. I never overload any washer and am funny concerning what soap I use. I also use double rinse on all my past washers. Never had a problem. If we have stains on something always pres oak use a bar of laundry soap. The machine is big enough for quilts or pillows. Everything is clean. I used to watch it wash though the glass window to see how it washes and rinse. Never use to much soap on any washer.
I hope it lasts a long long time. The next one may be less satisfying.
I might have to get an Amish one 🙂
Good luck. It might have to be solar powered. I believe that the Amish use wind power for their dryers. Let me know how you like them. I am sure that at some point I will need a new one.
They hang the wash out on the line. Love that but my husband does not want wash on the line since we live on OH.
The Amish washer is hand driven. My in laws had something like that to save money. My husband was traumatized and would be horrified if I get one of those.
Naïve one here. What’s the big deal about drying clothes on the line, in OH?
Perhaps in the winter, the clothes are stiff enough to take themselves off the clothes line and walk in the house.
If they have the wind at their back they will probably make it. Don’t be surprised by a knock on the door.
😅
Nothing no problem. I think he is afraid I ask to carry the basket I will not never have 😏
“I used to watch it wash though the glass window to see how it washes and rinse.”
_____________
When I was little, I used to climb inside the washer, and look out through the window 😁
That is funny and dangerous at the same time 🙂
I am glad nothing happened to you.
It was a good hiding place 😂
I used to hide under my parents bed that is not where they looked if they wanted to spank me 😳
This explains a lot about your present condition, assuming you got a whole cycle. 😂
You’re just jealous, because you didn’t think to do it, and now you’re too big 😂
LG washer, dryer, fridge. All large capacity. No whiz bang bells and whistles. ~Eights years in.
Washer never overloaded. Extra rinse and cold tap water. Drain, clean filter and tub wash, the first of every month. Last year, replaced water pump. $50 online. YT videos how to change out. < 1 hour.
Dryer never overloaded. Vent ducting cleaned annually.
Fridge compressor quit, IIRC, three or four years in. Warranty covered compressor, including labor.
Four adults and two teenagers in this home. ^^^ They get a hell of a workout.
Very happy with all three.
I also have LG fridge still no problems dryer is also good. I clean washer every 30 days and wash almost every day. So far so good

FYI, Denny Burk is trouble.
As long as the NFL supports this stuff, and knowingly plays this racist garbage BEFORE the National Anthem, if youre buying tickets, nfl gear, and subscribe to spirts channels you support this too.
“This year’s Super Bowl will feature the singing of Lift Every Voice and Sing, otherwise known as the black national anthem, before the start of this year’s game.
The song will be sung before the U.S. national anthem.”
https://www.breitbart.com/sports/2023/02/12/nfl-to-play-black-national-anthem-at-super-bowl-lvii/
Sports is one of those subtle addictions. A lot of conservative types will allow for the kneeling, the constant white conservative bashing, not playing the anthem or this new bullshit, playing that song..
I wish people would really take that hard stand and quit supporting it
Easy. peasy to take a stand. Cut the cable.
Right. My bro keeps up with old pals and gets into some real fights about them still supporting college sports that have gone woke badly too
Yep. Otherwise why complain?
They’re welcome to take that divisive Racist 🐄 💩 and sing it AND play in any Black Nation of their choosing. It doesn’t belong here.
There’s only ONE National Anthem for the United States of America…..the Star Spangled Banner!!
The best thing that could happen for awareness is for 3 or 4 players to ‘die suddenly’ during the game.
Maybe the black national anthem could save them.
😱😱
^^^ Serious case of, SADS. ^^^ 
🥰🥰🥰
When I heard that, I decided to not even bother to find out who’s playing in the Scum Bowl this year.
I think this will be the first time I haven’t watched the Scum Bowl.
I already don’t miss it.
Its hard for guys who love football to see their traditional game trashed..
It was hard for me too, at first. I was a rabid football fan my whole life. Born and raised a Browns fan, which is to say one long series of heartbreaks, one after another.
Eventually it became obvious that the team owners didn’t want to win, or the games were rigged. Either way, if they didn’t want to win, then it wasn’t worth me getting angry every Sunday.
That football movie w clooney about the early days had a lot of truth to it. Corruption, forced union thug tactics, all about money in the end.
Surely its a mix of everything w cash being the motivation.
If there wasnt so much money in it I wonder if the games would be better?
A Browns fan?
OK, Scott…just toughening you up emotionally. Ready? Ready? Are you sure?
The Drive.
Bwahahahahaha!
Exactly!
Just another rigged game!
Nobody could snatch defeat from the jaws of victory like my Browns.
Actually, not hard at all.
Ha. You are an exception sir!
Actually mr gil could never sit through it and get amped on watching it. I went to plenty of hockey games and loved that.
Twelve years. Don’t miss scum bowl.
Why do they want a separate black anthem – they are all Americans aren’t they?
Guessing cuz they are oppressed millionaires. <<< Dumb asses.
Ikr? I saw a comment that ok, now we need an lgbxyz, asian, hispanic, irish, et al anthem for each group to be fair. Also its as separatist as it gets to single out an anthem by race!
Disney Will Not Fight DeSantis Takeover of Special District in Orlando
https://variety.com/2023/biz/news/disney-reedy-creek-ron-desantis-no-lawsuit-1235520205/
From what I can see, the major change is that DeSantis will nominate the board members for Disney. I thought the main issue was that Disney had tax-exempt status and that the FL legislature removed that, but that doesn’t appear to be the case.
They’re not fighting it because it would be expensive and the law doesn’t change that much.
It seems like kind of a nothing burger to me.
TT. I believe Disney lost their tax-free status in this matter last April.
This legislation has to do with control of Disney’s activities, etc. through the board unless I misread the articles… I’ve given it only a cursory glance… here’s a cache link
https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Disney+loses+tax+free+status&atb=v310-1&ia=web
I’m not disputing what you say, but it isn’t clear to me. All the articles at the time were parroting the “Disney loses its tax-free status” line. This one from April 22, 2022, also says that. But it goes on to say exactly what current articles state.
https://nypost.com/2022/04/22/ron-desantis-officially-ends-disneys-special-florida-tax-status/
That “sweet tax deal” link leads to this:
https://nypost.com/2022/04/19/ron-desantis-wants-to-strip-disney-world-of-special-status/
I don’t know if that’s true, but Disney does pay taxes (see below). Back to the first NY Post article:
And this is key:
I think that’s what happened. They “hammered out” a deal where the only thing that changed was that the board’s members are now appointed by the governor. There is nothing in the current articles about Disney losing tax-exempt status.
According to the following article and a number of others, Disney never had tax-exempt status. Maybe it’s a left-leaning fact check, but I think some of it is factually true.
https://www.wral.com/fact-check-how-does-new-florida-law-affect-disney-s-tax-status/20261882/
I think if Disney were losing a multi-million-dollar tax-exempt status that was going to cost them a lot in tax payments in the future, they would be fighting this. But they’re not fighting it because the main thing it does is change who appoints the board members.

Disney to Keep Perks Under Florida Bill Allowing Gov. Ron DeSantis to Assume Control of Special Tax District
https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/business-news/disney-to-keep-special-perks-under-florida-bill-allowing-gov-ron-desantis-to-assume-control-of-special-tax-district-1235320186/
The only thing that changed is that DeSantis has more leverage over Disney by being able to appoint board members, and future governors will have the same power.
zeroHedge has a piece … you may find interesting
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/disney-loses-control-reedy-creek-development-landslide-florida-senate-vote
FTA
“…Disney has stated that it does not plan to fight the state ruling in court, probably because they know it is a losing battle. The new entity, dubbed the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District, will be operated by a five-member board appointed by DeSantis and confirmed by the state Senate. The move effectively gives DeSantis power over operations including collecting taxes.
I believe that previously Disney controlled the board and set their own taxes with it.
Oops, I thought they were tax free… until,
Let’s go with somebody other than the Hollywood Reporter or Variety.
2/9/23
https://nypost.com/2023/02/09/florida-house-passes-ron-desantis-backed-bill-to-nix-disney-tax-district-reign/
“Disney is no longer going to have self-government; they’re not going to have their own government,” the governor told reporters Wednesday. “Disney’s going to pay its fair share of taxes and Disney’s going to honor the debt and that’s exactly what this proposed piece of legislation will do.”
There are other articles out as well. However, they lost their tax status. They lost control of the district. They have to pay back the debt. They get to keep operating the parks as they have.
I’m sure more will come out later.
The problem I see with this is the appointment of board members going forward. Broad power (political) is never going to be good IMO be it R or D. What’s going to happen with the next governor and the one after that? These board positions are ripe for abuse as repayment for favors. Time will tell, personally I think.
I agree.
Bingo! & RdS hatched this construct? It has Rino written all over it. Big government Rino style.
YUP. Sounds like his RINO advisors walked back everything to a UniParty-corruptible construct.
Fot those of you watching the Super Bowl, be prepared to cringe at the ‘He Gets Us’ commercials. Charlie Kirk was discussing the other day, showed 4 of them. They were all bad.
Jesus is an Immigrant
Jesus is a Refugee
Jesus is an Influencer
Jesus is a Rebel
It’s a woke campaign, wants to show Jesus as a human just like us, never says he’s our Savior. They’re aiming to collect $1B, spent $20M on Super Bowl ads. As far as Hobby Lobby being a donor, he’s not sure that they didn’t get taken advantage of by a slick PR firm. Time will tell. Many Christians not happy, wokesters either. Woke Fox Lady was saying people dislike ad because HL donated. That may explain the leftist’s attitude, but defiinitely not the Christians!
Speaking of Super Bowl commercials:
M&M’s Responds to ‘Woke’ Complaints by Hiring Progressive Star Maya Rudolph
https://www.newsweek.com/mms-responds-woke-complaints-hires-progressive-star-maya-rudolph-1775905
I caught a glimpse of one of her M&Ms commercials the other day, and it was awful. She was changing the name to some play on her name, Maya. It was not humorous and will leave viewers scratching their heads and wondering why do this. Maybe their Super Bowl commercials will be better, but M&Ms has really messed up.
These scoundrels have been running these spots during the playoffs. My visceral reaction has been that this is a commie take over of Christianity. Humanism vs. divinity. There is nothing wrong in recognizing Jesus’ humanity but, this ad campaign excludes Christ’s divinity …
Jesus Christ is the Son of God before he was the son of man.
A commie takeover? More like a Neocon takeover … they own the media.
On January 10th, 1963, a document titled Current Communist Goals was presented to the US Congress and was added to the Congressional record “under unanimous consent”. It lists 45 goals pursued by the Communists to overthrow America by infiltrating and corrupting its key institutions.”
#27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with “social” religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a “religious crutch.”
#28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of “separation of church and state.”
”replace revealed religion with “social” religion” This is precisely what the “he gets us” campaign trys to accomplish.
The Neocons now have two Christian nations fighting each other… Ukraine and Russia… with another Christian nation, USA paying for the bulk of the weapons.
The Neocons don’t publish their agenda…
‘Current Communist Goals’ was authored by A.S. Herlong, Jr a Dem Congressman …
I respect your right to your opinion. Fact remains that the Neocons own the media…
Herlong was responsible for reading the list into the Congressional Record.
the list was taken from the book “The Naked Communist” written by W. Cleon Skousen
Lots of things get read into the Congressional Record… you’d be surprised. 😉 Still, the document is a list of one persons opinions, as you corrected, W. Cleon Skousen, a prolific writer and under J Edgar Hoover and witness to McCarthy & the Red Scare and everyone is a commie.
China has initiated war twice that I’m aware of: Tibet (against Buddhism) and Viet Nam. The Neocons have a string of those they have pushed for and gotten… witness the current against Russia.
For some, the answer to who is responsible for every problem is now communism. TPTB need war, and to get it, they need an enemy… China wins that prize… my opinions of course.
“…Fact remains that the Neocons own the media…”
….
No
The fact is the FINANCIERS aka BANKSTERS own the media and have since 1915 two years after they saddled us with a central bank.
Congressional Record, February 9, 1917 — J.P. Morgan interests buy 25 of America’s leading newspapers and insert their own editors

It is interesting to look at board of directors and see who sits on a bank’s board and ALSO on a Fake News board. I did that about a decade ago.
I should add the Banksters ALSO own the Congress critters.
This ^^^
People can and will believe that they want to believe regardless of truth.
It all was implemented in 1913. The planning and mobilization began well before then.
THANKQ
It all comes back to the banksters and $$$$$ and POWER!
ITA BB. They know that it’s too early in the con to trash Jesus but like ALL of their other campaigns…introduce the “other” side, the one that’s admirable but certainly not divine and certainly no connection to God.
You know, gay folk are just other humans who love other humans and then that morphs into men who prefer to dress up as drag queens and then it’s drag queens are just humans who embody the female persona and that makes them women and don’t anyone dare challenge it. The slippery slope all the way down into the abyss
Molly I can not give you much comfort in this instance but I can remind you that even God cannot save everyone. Scripture is definite about the fact that some intentionally reject God’s gift of grace not because they don’t know about it but because they choose a different path. Some prefer the darkness of the world because their deeds are evil. Others have an alternative they prefer. Since it is a gift one cannot be compelled to take it. I know those are hard words but it reflects the reality of this world. John 3:16-19 sums it up rather succinctly.
Yes, sad because that slippery slope just leads further and further away from what we were put here to attain.
Hobby Lobby has not been the same since the previous owner gave the company away.
I do not shop there any longer.

Let’s Pay Attention To The Experts Who Challenged The COVID Narrative
https://12ft.io/proxy?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.americanthinker.com%2Farticles%2F2023%2F02%2Flets_pay_attention_to_the_experts_who_challenged_the_covid_narrative.html
It’s a list of doctors, professors, and scientists who have spoken against the vax. It might prove useful to share with people who will only listen to their doctors within the medical establishment. By the author’s own admission it is not a comprehensive list (I noticed that Dr. Robert Malone is not mentioned), but it is impressive.
I think it was Maria B interviewing snake RINO jab injured Nancy Mace. When asked what she was going to do about it… 1) Keep getting treatment, and 2) Tell everyone if you have WuFlu antibodies you don’t need the jab (She got over covid, then got jab1 and jab2). So she’s still IGNORANT.🙄
The CDC refusing to issue contraindications when the early evidence showed increased side effects for people who had already had COVID, as part of their refusal to deal with natural immunity properly, is a real crime. She has a real case against them, IMO.
They all need to wise up and collectively say STOP THE JAB, PERIOD. The poison is killing people.
TT you do come up with dome interesting data points. You do make me smile.
Thanks! 😆
Do you have any special insight into improving my spelling?
know.
I figured it out. I have a multi-cultural dysphasia. It turns out that dome is the Klingon translation of some.
After two servings of blood wine it doesn’t matter what the translation is.
PG, you are making my Santa Claus belly shake like a bowl full of jelly. Stop it or I will tell Teacher.
“that dome” for some reason (I need to get some sleep) that made me think of the Cone of Silence 😉
LOL
I haven’t noticed any needs in that regard!
dome…some…it’s all the same…😅
Mean! 🙏
Using that talk-to-text feature makes a great justification
“If the aliens want to invade our country undetected – they should just land their spaceships in Mexico and stroll across our wide open southern border.”
______________
If anyone wants to invade our country undetected, just land on the WH lawn.
Or at the Pentagram.
I am pretty sure that the US is moving down the list of desirable nations to invade- too much trouble, too much debt. It would not surprise me if China was having second thoughts.
Will they be asking for trillions of dollars too I wonder ?
If catturd has to deal with those stupid looking little batards, I suspect he would tell them “talk to the paw” it’s among my favorite quips of his. 😅

There’s a 7-minute video of Clapton speaking at the link.
(Does anyone remember “Eric Clapner”? That’s what former surgeon general Joycelyn Elders called him once. Rush Limbaugh used to joke about it. I can’t hear Clapton’s name without thinking of this. 😅)
I have to give him credit, Bill Clinton did have an eye for unusual talent.
Eric Clapner was a Joycelyn Elders classic
And I miss El Rushbo
Hubby and I still call him Eric Clapner. Every time. 😂
“James O’Keefe Is Veritas – We Don’t Have Time for Games. We Don’t Have Time for Ego Plays” – Steve Bannon Goes to Bat for James O’keefe (VIDEO) (thegatewaypundit.com)
Steve Bannon: “We’ve got, by the way, the Veritas situation. A brutal letter from donors. I think, had a bellyful full of these games that have been played over the last couple of days. (They) sent a letter that fully froze everything in place, and quite frankly, we said what the donors are saying, what we’ve been saying, “James O’Keefe is Veritas, right?”
O’Keefe’s not perfect. I’m not perfect. Trump’s not perfect. People are not perfect. But James O’Keefe is Veritas. And what that guy has done to build that organization from the twelve or 13 years that I’ve known him is just absolutely incredible. I mean, absolutely incredible!
And right in the middle of this Pfizer investigation, just when they got this amazing breaking stuff on Pfizer that dovetails with what Naomi Wolf and the War Room team have been saying. The timing could not be worse. We don’t have time for games. We don’t have time for ego plays. We don’t have time for games. We don’t have time for power struggles. We don’t. The hour is late, okay? We got to be up and aligned and on focus and on point here. And that’s why it’s so outrageous what’s happening over there. And I’m really glad that James got some lawyers that dropped the hammer and glad that the donors finally stood up and said, hey, this is ridiculous, right?
The grownups have arrived.
I thought we weren’t allowed to say Trump’s not perfect. 😂
LOL 🙂

Of the other Baltimore schools it only got better by ones and twos (details in the story). They also left out 3 schools. One was special needs and two were for reform schools.
B-more’s long been a $h!th0Le city
It’s definitely showing now.

She phoned it in, lip sync and all. No energy, I thought she looked pregnant, but she recently had a baby. Turns out that was 9 mos ago and she is pregnant again. Explains the listlessness. Never should’ve done it. At least she wasn’t 1/2 naked on a stripper pole. However…..

EPIC FAIL: Rihanna gave, without question, the single worst Halftime Show in Super Bowl history — This after insulting far more than half of our Nation, which is already in serious DECLINE, with her foul and insulting language. Also, so much for her “Stylist!”
Exactly as expected.
The Daily Mail description in your comment is nasty. She probably has a lot of talent, but real talent doesn’t have to do that to get attention. I guess it’s part of the sell-your-soul-to-the-devil culture.
Trump shouldn’t even lower himself to comment on this trash. I noticed on patriots.win (the old thedonald.win) people were saying the same thing. He doesn’t need this shit on his shoes.
Still needs to be said. Nice that he’s not shy about it. The guy’s not milk toast. Not neutered.
Yeah, I get it. It just feels sullying though, as I said below him.
The shit is below all of us. STILL needs to be called out. NOT normalized.
I agree that people need to express their collective disgust. Which they’re already doing. Honestly, almost nothing shocks me anymore – I don’t invite any of it into my home. I was simply saying that Trump doesn’t need to keep picking up the poop and commenting on it – he’s done that masterfully already. We’re awake. JMO
Absolutely.
“…Trump doesn’t need to keep picking up the poop and commenting on it – he’s done that masterfully already.”
^^^ EXACTLY. Trump has done a masterful job, in the past, present and I HOPE in the future.
Never, ever, let this disgusting behavior go without calling it out.
Trump is doing us a public service, calling this shit out. IMO.
👍🏻
The problem is he posted something on Truth a few days ago, before her hideous display. “Without her “Stylist” she’d be NOTHING. Bad everything, and NO TALENT.” It was a comment on a Ronny Jackson post. I’m not on Truth or Twitter so I can’t link it – but my quote is exact.
A truth about her gratuitously vulgar SHOW is one thing, but piling on days before the show is unnecessary. Rihanna hates him and everything he represents – that’s old news.
What little I know about Rihanna, she is a piece of shit. But I intentionally ignore damn near everything hollywood, modern “entertainers”… I have zero appreciation for these douchebags. Have no problem saying it, again, and again, and again…
If Trump or anyone wants to call her out, 100% good by me.
Yup, like I said. We don’t allow it into our home. 👍🏻
KC Wins 38-35
The two QBs who performed so well, Patrick Mahomes and Jalen Hurts are devout Christians.
The exact opposite of the half time show which came from Babylon. They need our prayers and to repent before it is too late.
Thanks for the update. Glad to hear the Eagles didn’t win.
During the game, Philly savages were already in the streets, turned a car over. It’s gonna get worse. They riot when they win and win they lose.
You mean that Mostly Peaceful rioting in Philadelphia
A crowd of drunk kids turned over a car this afternoon, in the middle of the day, near Temple University, in North Philly. Not a good look, but it is what it is. Right now, every local news affiliate has video posted about how calm center city is. Savages, really? You try too hard.
It’s become a little more than that.
Police scanner audio since 10:30pm suggested police had made multiple arrests, as citizens were seen scaling lampposts, chanting ‘f*** the Chiefs’, and hurling glass bottles throughout the city’s Downtown neighborhood.
Footage circulating on social media also shows several residents lighting fireworks, with others egging on armed SWAT teams tasked with keeping the peace.
In one shocking clip, a group of Philadelphians are seen lighting fireworks, with some reports indicating the explosives are being thrown at officers.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11743871/Eagles-fans-march-city-scale-lampposts-chant-f-Chiefs-face-cops.html
I understand there are rowdy fans, and people that use anything as an excuse to go wilding. Such are the times we live in. The lamppost thing is a ridiculous long-running tradition. The city greases the lampposts with crisco a couple of days out.
My problem, as I plainly indicated, is the use of the word “savages” as a lazy broad brush. There are many, many salt-of-the-earth people in Philadelphia, as there are in any troubled, blue urban area.
And that’s all I have to say about it.
The provided link indicated it was more than just some kids overturning a car. Plainly so.
I explained in great detail, but you ignore my real point – which I also explained. HAGD
As you did mine. HAGDAW.
