2 CORINTHIANS 5:14-21
14For the love of Christ controls us, because we are convinced that one has died for all; therefore all have died. 15And he died for all, that those who live might live no longer for themselves but for him who for their sake died and was raised. 16From now on, therefore, we regard no one from a human point of view; even though we once regarded Christ from a human point of view, we regard him thus no longer. 17Therefore, if any one is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has passed away, behold, the new has come. 18All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation; 19that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation. 20So we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We beseech you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. 21For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

Thank you, DePat, for a scrum-tiddly-icious end to the week.
As always, your posts are very much appreciated.
I may disagree with RFK, Jr., on a number of topics, but the vaccine issue is not one of them. Neither is censorship. He’s doing us all great things by exposing it the way he is. He’s one of the few with the name recognition – and a surname that gets attention whether it is warranted or not – to do this and not be dismissed out of hand by the other side.
I came across this ground report. I don’t know this person is and can’t vouch for him, but I thought it was interesting. [*language warning*]
And:
Love it!
Not trying to denigrate what the doctor said — but if he’s been so intimidated by his hospital employer that he goes ahead writes Rx’s for Paxlovid (which he must know will SUPPRESS the immune system because it uses an HIV/AIDS treatment drug as part of the Paxlovid two-drug protocol) — where are the doctor’s ethics?
IMO, the following is the REAL CURRENT STATE of the medical profession:
By now, the vast majority of physicians KNOW at least something about the dangers of the COVID-19 “vaccines.” They are starting to see THEIR OWN COLLEAGUES come down with “vaccine”-engendered illnesses, disabilities, or worse.
BUT — they won’t do / say anything about it. WHY? — They choose to:
Bow down to the employer (hospital, clinic) or lose the job / teaching position / ability to publish papers / get research grants;
Bow down to the AMA or get “disciplined” / lose their license to practice medicine;
Do the above knowing that the Hippocratic Oath they took is being violated;
Keep the head down and somehow rationalize the above while at the same time, that nagging thought of “I’ve violated the ‘Do No Harm'” is always in the back of the mind.
Yes, I agree. It has been going on for a long time with people insisting on being given antibiotics for viral conditions (which antibiotics don’t work on) in pre-COVID days. Some doctors cave rather than deal with the pressure.
I was about to mention that myself.
The patient screams for an antibiotic for the flu or a common cold. Doctor gives it to him.
Actually some doctors will prescribe a placebo under those circumstances. Especially since the patient will likely stop taking the antibiotic early. (Any virus that happens to be there non-symptomatically just gained resistance to that antibiotic.)

YW. I think Vivek is one of the smartest candidates and is more savvy politically than most of them. He is slick and knows how to say what the people want to hear. Unlike so many who can’t see the evidence in front of their faces that Trump is who the people support, Vivek gets it and is capitalizing on it. It’s hard to know who he really is.
Nails in Vivek’s political coffin, if true.
I also, suspect it is true.
It’ll all be drummed out at the right time, by America First.
I know who he really is. He’s a slick used-car salesman who wants to be President of the United States. Hard no.
Amen 🙂
🙂
Warning he is to slick. ” knows what people want to hear”. I prefer a person who says what he believes not what people want to hear.
“I prefer a person who says what he believes not what people want to hear.” Yes! This is a large part of Trump’s appeal, imo. Also he doesn’t talk down to regular people.
So true in Trump’s case. He does not talk down to people he is a true American.
That is what I admirer about Americans.
Love it!
🙂
This fits perfect with Vivek ” to smart is dumb “.
He outed himself with his slickness. To me that is a warning just like Obama.
Well, Yours Truly believes the real skinny on “Smarmy” is the one spoken by his own father — that “Vivek wanted to be President since the second grade.”
Not, “Vivek wanted to serve the United States in some capacity since the second grade.”

This indicates, IMO, that “Smarmy” is a manipulator.
It also indicates, IMO, that “Smarmy” can be manipulated / controlled by * other entities * because of his ambition to be “the most powerful person in the world.”
Very good assessment 🙂
Yes something is off with Vivek to slick.
It doesn’t need clarification, it goes without saying that nothing supersedes the Constitution.
If any government criminal has a problem with that, let him fight for his life.
Any government criminal who has a problem with that should be immediately hauled out of Congress and never allowed back in because they have violated their oath of office.
You seem to be really serious about this. 😆
Yes!
So many problems would be mitigated or solved if we had people in positions of power who upheld the Constitution instead of tearing it down.
AMEN!!!
Building that houses Sen Paul’s office in Bowling Green torched last night. Article has photos of fully engulfed building that houses other businesses. No one hurt. This is the day after Sen Paul refers Fauci for prosecution by DOJ.

OMG – they destroyed any evidence he had.
These people. Good grief.
This is a huge story. This is what we’re up against.
Reeks of the Klint00nistas…
When, oh when, will the “silent majority” realize that people like the Klint00ns and the DEMONRATS have NO MORAL SCRUPLES at all, and would sell their own mother and children into a whorehouse while sipping the blood of children they trafficked (perhaps even THEIR OWN)???
The buttercups blanch at the least hint of “climate change”, yet they ignore the tidal wave of MORAL CHANGE which is drowning them in Satanic Evil…..
This is DOJ’s answer to Rand Paul. These people are literally evil. Q was right.
I hope Rand Paul had backups and copies of his documentation, and even a deadman’s switch (terrible to have to think of that).
Seems DOJ now reports to Satan himself… DAMNED DEMONRATS!!!!!!!
The dirty secret behind your electric vehicles exposed: How the TIRES produce 20% more pollution than their gas equivalents – as experts slam ‘big monster’ EVs
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12296721/electric-vehicle-tire-pollution-emissions.html
Can I be so bold as to point out that the extra weight also wears down road surfaces more than lighter vehicles?
Yet the lack of paying gas taxes means they ain’t paying their fair share.
Sounds like a good deal to … whom?
Good point.
Major factor in many states wanting to tax vehicles by, miles driven, each year.
Governments will waste whatever dollars, they can fleece from vehicle owners.
“Governments will waste whatever dollars, they can fleece” 😡
pg, you are forgetting that EV owners are providing employment opportunities for citizens of Chile, China, and Australia. I am sure you agree that the degradation of the American road infrastructure is a small price to pay, right?
Oh, and don’t forget the extra-special afterschool (instead-of-school) projects for kids in Asia and other poor lands that are rich in minerals… who cares about open ponds and safety regulations…
Actually … I don’t think we should pay for their positives.
But then they’ll start going after trucks and other heavy transport vehicles, which are necessary.
These “analytics” companies pull numbers out of their hineys to justify any agenda that suits their fancy. And after that contract ends, they run another set of numbers, for another client, that partically or completely contradicts the results and findings of the first study.
Putting the first four letters back into analytics…
“The dirty secret behind your electric vehicles exposed: How the TIRES produce 20% more pollution than their gas equivalents – as experts slam ‘big monster’ EVs”
_______________
That’s actually a positive.
Always looking for ways to counteract the damage done by globull warming lunatics.
Love my Ram Crew Cab. Great ride. 🙂
Feature, not a flaw. 
Piss poor gas mileage. 
In fairness…
So an EV tire pollutes more than an ICE tire.
So what?
How does that compare to the total amount of pollution emitted by each kind of vehicle?
Since that’s not addressed, the pro-EV side can make whatever claims about the total and then claim that the gain in tire-caused pollution is offset by savings elsewhere. For all I can see from this article, they may even be right. (I know none of us actually thinks so, but based on this we can’t tell.)
In other words, this statistic is useless in any argument, except perhaps as a “final nail in the coffin” after all of the other stuff has been brought up.
Don’t have to take it – just ban fuel sales for it.
That’s why everyone should join a steam locomotive club — like https://www.goldengatels.org/ .
Each model locomotive could easily be mounted to turn a generator — and they can work off of a variety of fuels including coal, wood, and oil.
I try not to repeat things, but I could watch this every day….
Doesn’t even have to be a ban. Plenty of trouble with ethanol-laced gasoline in small engines (lawnmowers and such), as well as older cars and boat motors, while most recent cars which are the majority of customers, do fine. So there is lower sales volume of the more expensive non-ethanol gas, and many stations no longer bother to sell it at all. No explicit ban needed.
Many or most, Maverik gas station in many western states, offer non-ethanol.
Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming.
Every Maverik I’ve been in is clean, friendly and pleasant to do business. bonus, clean restrooms.
Nice!
AND Maverik doesn’t shitbag people who have to use mid or premium grade.
Many years ago, all three grades’ gas prices were posted and usually midgrade was ten cents more expensive than regular, and premium ten cents more expensive than that. But that was in less than $1.50 per gallon days. So itr’s not unreasonable to expect that with today’s prices the difference between grades would be 20 cents or perhaps a quarter.
Most gas stations jump the price up 40 cents per grade. And you cannot tell what the price is until you’ve pulled up to the pump because now only the regular grade price is posted on the sign. Maverik’s jump is only 25 cents (it was until recently only 20 cents). That alone is a 15 or 30 cent per gallon savings over other places, if your car cannot accept regular grade.
(I’ve never owned a vehicle that did not require 87 octane at least and in Colorado regular is 85 octane.)
Off the wall.
Any insights into why many states regular is 85 octane.
Most states seem to be 87 octane.
Thanks.
From Wikipoo:
United States: in the US octane rating is displayed in AKI. In most areas, the standard grades are 87, 89-90 and 91-94 AKI. In the Rocky Mountain (high elevation) states, 85 AKI (90 RON) is the minimum octane, and 91 AKI (95 RON) is the maximum octane available in fuel.[65] The reason for this is that in higher-elevation areas, a typical naturally aspirated engine draws in less air mass per cycle because of the reduced density of the atmosphere. This directly translates to less fuel and reduced absolute compression in the cylinder, therefore deterring knock. It is safe to fill a carbureted car that normally takes 87 AKI fuel at sea level with 85 AKI fuel in the mountains, but at sea level the fuel may cause damage to the engine. However, since virtually all cars produced since the 1990s have fuel injection, 85 AKI fuel is not recommended for modern automobiles and may cause damage to the engine and decreased performance.[66] Another disadvantage to this strategy is that most turbocharged vehicles are unable to produce full power, even when using the “premium” 91 AKI fuel. In some east coast states, up to 94 AKI (98 RON) is available.[67] As of January 2011, over 40 states and a total of over 2500 stations offer ethanol-based E-85 fuel with 94-96 AKI.[68] Often, filling stations near US racing tracks will offer higher octane levels such as 100 AKI .[citation needed]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octane_rating
Interesting, even makes sense to slow guy. Thanks.

“However, since virtually all cars produced since the 1990s have fuel injection, 85 AKI fuel is not recommended for modern automobiles and may cause damage to the engine and decreased performance.”
^^^ Based on above, I guess, when transiting higher elevation states with 85 octane regular, do NOT use it? Upgrade to a mid grade, 87.
Have never done so. No knocking or noticeable degraded performance. But, may, be bad for the engine.
Unless I’ve got something out of context.
Unless you’re in the habit of running your gas to E, I wouldn’t sweat it too much. If you fill half your tank with 85 when it had 87, your tank will only go to 86. The next time you fill with 87, you’ll go back up to 86.5, and so on.
It should also be noted that normal gas stations only have two tanks — the low octane and the high octane — and just blend ’em in the pump to get mid-grade gasoline.
Small plane airports will have the good stuff with no alky. Since you can’t just pull over and call a tow truck.
Tri-fuel generators. LPG, NG and gas.
Yea, the bastards wil try to ban all three.
Unredacted FBI Form Provides Devastating Details of Biden Bribery Scheme
https://redstate.com/jenvanlaar/2023/07/20/heres-what-weve-learned-from-the-newly-released-fd-1023-about-the-biden-bribery-scheme-n779352
This makes Wray look complicit, IMO.
(continued)
(Continued from the article linked above)
So that brings us to the FD-1023 itself. From this form we’ve learned:
• The CHS [Confidential Human Source] was introduced to Burisma executives by Oleksander Ostapenko in late 2015/early 2016 at an in-person meeting in Ukraine.
• The meeting was attended by Ostapenko, Burisma CFO Vadim Pojarskii, Zlochevsky’s daughter Karina, and Karina’s husband regarding Burisma potentially purchasing a U.S. gas and oil company so they could conduct an IPO in the U.S.
• Per Pojarskii, Burisma “hired” Hunter Biden to “protect us, through his dad, from all kinds of problems.”
• Hunter Biden couldn’t help Burisma with the purchase/merger of a U.S. company because he’s “not smart,” Pojarskii said.
• CHS met with Ostapenko and Mykola Zlochevsky in Vienna, Austria, two months later, around the time Joe Biden publicly stated that Viktor Shokin had a corruption problem.
• When CHS expressed concern about the effect an investigation into Burisma would have on an IPO, Zlochevsky replied, “Don’t worry Hunter will take care of all of those issues through his dad.”
• When CHS advised Zlochevsky to pay an attorney $50,000 to handle Burisma’s matters in Ukraine, Zlochevsky laughed and said, “it costs 5 (million) to pay one Biden, and 5 (million) to another Biden.”
• Zlochevsky said that Hunter Biden “was stupid, 😅and his (Zlochevsky’s) dog 🐕was smarter,” but that he “needed to keep Hunter Biden (on the board) so everything will be okay.”
• When asked whether Hunter or Joe Biden told Zlochevsky he had to keep Hunter on Burisma’s board, Zlochevsky said, “They both did.”
• After CHS advised Zlochevsky multiple times in that meeting to fire Hunter Biden and deal with Burisma’s issues within Ukraine and not turn it into an international matter, Zlochevsky said “something to the effect of, ‘Don’t worry, this thing will go away anyway’ and that ‘it’s too late to change his decision.’”
• On a conference call after the 2016 election, Zlochevsky said that he didn’t want to pay the Bidens and that he was “pushed to pay them,” using the Russian term “poluchili.”
• In addition to the 17 recordings Zlochevsky possessed, he told the CHS he had multiple text messages detailing the agreement with Hunter and Joe Biden.
• “Zlochevsky asked [CHS] whether it would make any (legal) difference whether he voluntarily made such payments, or if he was forced to make them.”
• CHS had previously reported the information about the conference call, including the discussion about Hunter Biden, in March 2017 to the FBI.
• CHS had a meeting with Ostapenko in London in 2019 at a Russian coffee house near Harrods, and the two had a phone call with Zlochevsky from that coffee house. CHS believed Zlochevsky was living somewhere in Europe at that time.
• Zlochevsky stated he has two “documents (which CHS understood to be wire transfer statements, bank records, etc.), that evidence some payment(s) to the Bidens were made, presumably in exchange for Shokin’s firing.
• As of June 2020, Ostapenko worked in some office for the administration of President Zelensky and also worked for Valery Vavilov, who is the founder/CEO of cryptocurrency and blockchain technology business BitFury.

WTF do these ass-clowns think they are?
They don’t get to OUTLAW *&^%.
These aren’t gods, they’re not even marginally competent human beings.
If people don’t put a stop to this insanity, then we ought to just pack it in.
Why aren’t people throwing ROCKS and GARBAGE at these bastards every time they go out in public?
Just start picking out *&^% to ban that they like.
What are we going to ban today?
I think we’ll ban homos.
How do you like that, Lefty?
And we’re having a two-for-one special today, so we’re banning trannies too. Anybody who’s gay or a tranny gets an all-expense paid trip to the asylum.
Saturday, we’re banning all climate BS, and we’re opening up new coal mines wherever they can be found.
Sunday we’re going to ban your precious masks and vaccines.
Monday we’re going to ban abortion again, just to make you relive the pain.
Tuesday we’re going to ban illegal aliens, and then on Tuesday afternoon we’re going to ban the legal ones.
Wednesday we’re banning ‘diversity, equity, inclusion’, and then we’re going to murder ESG.
Then on Thursday we’re going to ban islam.
We saved Friday to ban Marxism (cultural and political). Sadly, that means the Democrat party also has to go on Friday. Sorry about your luck.
Then for Saturday, we’re banning the FIB, IRS, Cee-I-A, EPA, NSA, ATF, BLM and all the other government boondoggle agencies. We’re also shutting down the U.N. and the W.H.O.
You like banning stuff? That’s great. We’ve got some stuff to ban, all right.
Are ya feelin’ me yet, dog?

Many do so. Obviously, zero muzzle awareness.
The issue of what powers these kinds of agencies possess came up regarding another agency recently, but I can’t remember details at the moment. Maybe it was a SCOTUS decision. This one involves the Consumer Product Safety Commission. These people are not part of the legislative branch which makes our laws, and their power to make decisions that have a major effect on our lives has to be curtailed. A lot of people will not comply, but manufacturers probably would because of the risk of being put out of business.
Sometimes there is enough of an uproar that they back down. Then there is noncompliance, and, these cases need to be challenged in court.
If they are not challenged by force, and soon, it will all be over except the crying.
It’s the corporate media. They back this shit, and they know that their silence helps.
“Let Me Just Say a Friend Called Me” – Dan Bongino Reveals Latest Insider Info on Biden White House Cocaine Scandal (VIDEO)
So the cocaine was left “deliberately for someone to find,” as in a drug delivery? And someone else found it before the intended person could?
Bongino says, “Let’s see what happens,” but I don’t expect anything to happen. If more comes out about this story, I’ll be shocked.
‘Don’t preclude the possibility that the cocaine found in the White House there was not accidentally left behind.’
There may be others, but so far I can only think of two scenarios for that statement.
1/ Dropbox for a supplier.
Or preparation for a whitewash.
2/ it was planted to dirty up the biden regime.
OK third one.
3/ It was a practical joke played by the Russians.
Nothing will happen.
Feds never face accountability.
that seems a tad overly cynical/s
“So the cocaine was left “deliberately for someone to find,” as in a drug delivery? And someone else found it before the intended person could?”
Winner, winner, chicken dinner!!!!
There it is. A drug drop. And you know what else that means? Somebody inside the Secret Service is in on the deal, to let them through security.
Almost got it. It is part of a scheme to force out SlowJoe.
Nobody accidently found it
Also possible.
Liking the optimism.
In her own words…
Quite a find! I listened to the first third tonight.
It was one of those popped up suggestions on one of the videos shared here, I don’t recall which one. Glad you are enjoying it!
A treasure to listen in on.

Also, about one third in. Worth the time. But moving on, a bazillion tabs opened from DPs opener. Not enough hours….
No doubt. I’m halfway through as the lady needed a break & so I joined her 🙂
Can’t say why but it reminds me of this story about a girl from the Cheap Side streets of London in 1801 who disguises herself as boy and hires on as a cabin boy on HMS the Dolphin and ends up running Mary Farbers World Wide Shipping Company out of Boston by the time she’s 19.
They call it Youth Fiction but truly it’s a good read for any age when it’s time for some escape. Ten books in the series.
Surprised they have an audio of the first book. Take a taste.
Thanks for the tip! Sounds like a fun read!!!
I regularly check out the youth section for oftentimes very enjoyable imaginative tales. I used to pre-read books before recommending them to my kids given all the insanity & agendas so thinly disguised & our kids represent the bullseye on the social engineers’ target!

Update on that Job Fair
A couple of days ago I asked for prayer for a job fair I was planning to attend that had only come on my radar a week previously. I was still pretty tired since my return from Up North & had a hard time motivating myself to do the prep work, including updating my resume, such as it is, but managed to wrap that up the night before, thankfully. I had 20 copies w/ me just in case, since the job fair was also to include on the spot interviews.
I had envisioned a large room, perhaps like a gym, with many companies represented. I’d planned to do a brief tour of what was on offer & then focus on my top three possibilities & get in line for those contacts. Obviously my imagination was Much Larger than the Actual Event proved to be.
The “job fair” was a trio of table zones w/ 2 companies & the Michigan Works sponsor organization there in a medium sized tent in a parking lot. This event was billed for 6 hours of the day & I got there in the last third of the event due to complications w/ some family duties so it’s possible there had been other companies represented earlier but the 3 present took up all the available table space so who knows.
So I spoke with people at each presentation area, gave a couple resumes, & picked up such literature as was available. None of the jobs being recruited were a very good fit, though the one company has some PT options based in my home city that I Might look into but that would involve giving up weekend evenings which would be a hard ask given my husband’s crazy work schedule. Weekends are the only time we can get to spend “decent” time together.
After the fair I took the Works worker’s advice & went into their office to sign up for the available employment search process that the state facilitates. This ended up taking about an hour & included getting a version of my resume uploaded into their system.
The state office caters to the unemployed on Unemployment & anyone who might be looking for work. They have maybe a dozen computers for use at the facility but extremely limit how they can be used. In fact they do not allow flash drives (perhaps to avoid potential viruses) so in order to get my resume uploaded one of the workers, behind plastic shielding (for covid? as it didn’t look thick enough to be bulletproof, but it is Metro Detroit, so who knows?) took my paper resume, scanned it into his own email, so he could email it to me, & from there it could be uploaded to my profile in the state system. He had to assist me a couple times at the computer since I didn’t know how to get the resume from email into the system (I’m used to working w/ documents files & he got it out of the download file after downloading it)…
Anyway I did some searching for available positions & found a few that Might be possible which I emailed to myself for later analysis. I forgot to check into “remote” or “work from home” options to see if any of those might be better at this time. Maybe I’ll look into that later today…
Various activities of that day had me out in the heat, without a drink or ability to get cold water on my skin so that I ended up being probably a combo of overheated & dehydrated as the day wound down. That condition is mostly abated now but really knocked me for a loop for most of yesterday, so I think it rose to the level of heat exhaustion. After a significant bout of “heat stroke” 20+ years ago I’m Much more sensitive in this arena so need to be careful.
So the bottom line is the day went relatively well. All my interactions w/ others were pleasant & not demeaning. The solo HR person representing her company & I spoke the longest partially about work related items, including returning to the workforce issues, but mostly about our autistic spectrum kids. I’m supposed to email her a link to one of my blog posts that focuses on autism & ADHD in girls as she seemed interested in that material.
Thanks for your kind words, insights, encouragements, & prayers. Everyone has been most kind, including family members, which I have Greatly Appreciated. If anything of significance develops I’ll probably let you guys know, but for now getting my toes wet is a pretty decent starting point.
Blessings!
I forgot to mention the best part of the day, besides seeing my daughter & granddaughter to drop off food from the church…
When exiting the gov’t office there was a momma mallard duck & four ducklings in the grass. They were maybe 10 feet off the sidewalk & the grass was surrounded on all sides by pavement, either sidewalks, parking lot, or street w/ no water in sight. I noticed mom first as she was moving around in a strange manner, faking injury or broken wings to probably distract me & other dangers from her four ducklings. I had a nice little conversation with her, understanding the plight of a mom of four! <3
That was supposed to be a heart emoji at the end above ❤
Hey KBK ever seen or done this??? h/t Marica’s
Short of videos, have never seen a “ship launch”. My understanding is, smaller ships may be launched. Large ships are “floated” off the blocks they are constructed on.
Have walked under USS Kirk (FF-1087) in dry dock. <<< Stationed three plus years Yokosuka, JA.
—
As an aside, LCS ships, like the one in the video, possibly the worst class ship the USN ever bought.
All scrapped or will be scrapped. Worthless in a fight. If they could get to the fight. Whoever signed off on these ships should have been fired and prosecuted.
Love your take, as always!
Think Ikea must sell them, I honestly don’t think this could be as strong as a normally built one where any joints in the steel work would be staggered.

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.

“Kiev threatens to sink civilian ships bound for Russia”

God Bless you Aubergine … for getting to the POINT

Thanks, phoenix.
Eugenics…it was tried many places, even here. Back in the 20s-40s there were even medical journals on the topic. We had them in the library where I used to work. The thing is, it didn’t work as a system because there was a moral backbone to most nations at that time, even if there was quite a bit of involuntary sterilization going on. So, the people who want to rule the world made the whole operation voluntary. It worked in some populations, but not in others.
It was everywhere; even Teddy Roosevelt professed to believe in it.

All my life I have understood that for something to happen, somebody has to take the risk and “go first,” and then others will follow along. Even when it is the right thing to do, most people will not be the first to do it. Same with governments, I guess.
“Conservative lawmakers in GOP state legislatures across the country have ignited a movement to disassociate local libraries from the American Library Association (ALA).
On Thursday, three more chapters of conservative state Freedom Caucuses, including Arizona, South Carolina, and Pennsylvania, endorsed the Montana State Library Commission’s move this month to sever ties with the ALA and encouraged their own libraries to do the same. Another prominent conservative lawmaker in Texas called on his state’s Library and Archives Commission to follow suit after the ALA elected an avowed Marxist as president.”

A few days ago I posted about Montana taking this step, and now lo and behold, here come four more states!
We need to encourage all state legislatures to be bold and go first. More will follow, they are just afraid to be number one.
Libraries attract some really bizarre people. I mean, I worked in a research library where multiple people had masters in library science, and some of them were just out there.
And those are the people making collection development decisions.
Yes.
I actually considered going back to get a Master’s in Library Science twenty years ago, and even then, the department was so full of crazies it put an end to that idea!
Good for you!
I am proud to see South Carolina has made the move… (not often in my life have I been able to save “I am proud of SC” !)
A LOT of my Revolutionary War ancestors come from South Carolina. Back in the day, there were a whole lot of patriots there.
Same here … lots of patriots then and now …
However. the ‘War Between The States’ began at Ft. Sumter, S.C., Strom Thurmond was Senator … for far too long, and Ms Lindsey is currently destroying our Republic, and …
I could go on and on …
Unfortunately my eyes and mind have been open for decades …
Yeah. Heavy sigh….
I think that is where The Patriot movie takes place & it’s at least partially based on true events. Someone shared a substack here that was diving into the true backstories of some of the characters & that was pretty interesting stuff. I think Mel’s character was based on someone called The Swamp Fox.
Yes, that is correct. The Swamp Fox, Francis Marion:
https://www.historyonthenet.com/founding-fathers-francis-marion
The evil bastard in the film was based on Banastre Tarleton. He was a monster.
We, Josiah & I, just watched it again last week & thinking about the Real People behind the story enhanced the viewing for me.
Josiah literally just said he had a dream where the White House had a swastika flag flying over it. I said though it’s not (currently) literally true it’s certainly accurate figuratively 🙁
Oh, my. I hope he’s not a prophet.
Me too!
I don’t imagine a swastika will every fly over the White House.
Which is not to say we can’t end up being a full bore dictatorship (instead of the nascent one we appear to have), but they will be WAY too smart to use a swastika for their symbol.
So if he’s a prophet, he’s prophesying figuratively.
If I recall, we had a Pride flag hanging from the White House balcony. Would a Nazi flag be a giant leap?
I was about to say there’d likely be a pride flag flying *over* the white house instead of a swastika.
You and I know it would make little practical difference, but there’s a political difference: A swastika would be optics *so* bad even they wouldn’t try it. Besides which they hate the Nazis, while failing to realize they’re the same in all but name.
Don’t count on that Steve. I would argue that a swastika just represents a particular approach to power and control. If the Secret Service tanks a legitimate drug investigation and it is ignored by the national media do you really think bad optics restrains their corruption? Not me.
Well, we’ll have to agree to disagree on this one…fortunately, it’s a detail!
Now I could see a hammer and sickle or some sort of commie-looking thing. Hollywood hasn’t spent the last 80 years demonizing International Socialism.
Yes, he’s no prophet, imo, but he has an intense imagination which also plays into his dreams. He’s a very passionate Christian & patriot but has extreme challenges processing what is going on around us (don’t we all!) so it’s Absolutely just figurative, imo–Thanks…
Don’t overlook The Grey Ghost. One of the most feared hit-and-run raiders of the Civil War. Mosby, IIRC.
I hope people are starting to see that organizations like the ALA, NEA, etc., aren’t necessary.
I hope so, too.

“Instagram removed Elijah Wood’s account for calling Zelensky an alcoholic and drug addict.
Elijah Wood, in his speech, turned to Zelensky with a proposal to cure him of drug and alcohol addiction. The actor advised the President of Ukraine to contact Betty Ford Rehab, a very expensive private clinic in California, where many celebrities were treated for addiction.
The Ukrainians did not appreciate the joke: they flooded Wood’s profile with complaints, which prompted the social network to block his profile.”
How do we know it was a joke?
Right… I thought he was sincere in his gesture/offer …
Jewish Zelensky is a ‘hero’ in NAZI infested Ukraine …
He’s of the synagogue of Satan. Revelation 2:9 and 3:9.

Don’t at least some of these traitors go ‘home’ occasionally? Fly, that is?
Apparently they don’t have brain cells to realize they might die as a result of the pilot having a drug-induced heart attack?
They’re deep in the abyss, punishment for failing to obey satisfies them AND opens the way for diversity hires
Excellent point!

I read somewhere that a blood test could tell the difference between someone who’d been jabbed and an un-jabbed person, or an un-jabbed person who may have caught covid and recovered.
If an airline hired all the un-jabbed pilots who couldn’t get their jobs back, then advertised “all our pilots are un-jabbed”, then the market could decide.
Ka-Boom! Beautiful!!!
Does anyone remember that a CIA guy who had worked for Romney also sat on the board of Burisma at the same time when Hunter was on it? Somehow it sticks in the back of my mind.
Wonder what the connection to CIA-Romney-Hunter – Biden is? There is something more deeper going on. Does that explain Romney his anti American stances anti Trump stance?
IIRC, Romney had a son tangled in the Hunter Burisma stuff. As did Kerry. Latter a SIL, I think.
And not forgetting the “gang of five”, the sons of prominent politicos (e.g. Piglosi) and their well-connected friends… Hunter, Piglosi Jr., Romney Jr., and a couple of others, IIRC…..

Boy Howdy, would that make an ugly float (Carlsberg beer and Danone yogurt)…
Carlsberg is about Bud or Coors-level beer, and Danone has gone woke, so no loss there. Considering that they’re Scandinavian companies, it might be a shot over the bow to get the attention of potential NATO entries up there…
I find the sentence “Russia no longer concerned about appearing fair to western investors” humorous since Russia is doing this in response to a similar takeover from the Ukie side… aka the WEFfenSS and all of the Nulanders…

“Igor Strelkov was detained by law enforcement officers – RBC source.

***************************
“MOSCOW, July 21 (Reuters) – Prominent Russian nationalist Igor Girkin, who had accused President Vladimir Putin and army leaders of not prosecuting the war in Ukraine harshly or effectively enough, was detained in Moscow on Friday on charges of inciting extremism.
The move suggests authorities have wearied of his criticism of what they call Russia’s “special military operation”, and perhaps that of other loud nationalist voices who had appeared to have exceptional licence to deride the war effort.
It follows an abortive mutiny last month led by another outspoken critic, Yevgeny Prigozhin, boss of the Wagner mercenary force, who is still free but has sharply curtailed his own verbal attacks.
Prosecutors from the Federal Security Service (FSB) security service asked Moscow’s Meshchansky district court to remand Girkin in custody on a charge with a maximum sentence of five years in prison, state news agencies TASS and RIA Novosti reported.
Girkin, a former battlefield commander also known as Igor Strelkov, helped Russia annex Crimea from Ukraine in 2014 and then organise pro-Russian militias who wrested part of eastern Ukraine out of Kyiv’s control.”

It seems that the Globalist’ s tentacles are everywhere.

More on Ramaswamy, from Andrei’s blog:
“… He has 90% financial backing from the “royalists”, especially the Bush branch of the neocons.
He’s weak and malleable on the big issues. Competent to run a state. A puppet in the Oval Office.
Check his congressional voting and you know what he is.
And his backers are the most disconnected from the grassroots as you can find and still be a citizen.”
The connection needs to be pounded into people’s skulls.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg also advocated the lowering of the AGE of CONSENT …

Can’t locate the image online, but it’s in my ol’ brain… she is traveling with copy of the book … seated with a foreign gov’t official and speaking to extract in book regarding my comment above… much has been erased from the internet and her supporters have entered disclaimers everywhere that she did NOT support this …
But I found this one affirmation:
“This is a reference to Senate Bill 1400, which, fortunately, was not voted into law. The “offense as set forth” in Section 1633 of the bill, the same text that the “esteemed jurist” Ginsburg wanted to see inserted in the U.S. Code, reads:
A person is guilty of an offense if he engages in a sexual act with another person, not his spouse, and (1) compels the other person to participate: (A) by force or (B) by threatening or placing the other person in fear that any person will imminently be subjected to death, serious bodily injury, or kidnapping; (2) has substantially impaired the other person’s power to appraise or control the conduct by administering or employing a drug or intoxicant without the knowledge or against the will of such other person, or by other means; or (3) the other person is, in fact, less than 12 years old. [Emphasis added]”
Source: https://akacatholic.com/rbg-and-the-age-of-consent/
I remember that about RBG. It’s diabolical.
I go back and forth in my mind: “Don’t these people remember what it was like for them at the age of 12, how immature and inexperienced they were and how unable to comprehend the consequences of their actions? And don’t they remember how this was true for their own children?”
And that leads to: “Of course they remember. They just don’t care. It’s all about the agenda to destroy the rest of us.”

“Russian Starlink to be!
Three domestic low-orbit communication satellites launched from the Vostochny cosmodrome, which were developed by the Russian company Bureau 1440, gave the first Internet.
Now the data transfer rate to the device is 12 Mbps, and the delay is 41 milliseconds. The next stage is serial and mass production of domestic devices, as well as an increase in the data transfer rate to more than 100 Mbps.
The goal of the project is to create a commercial satellite broadband Internet access service that will operate in low orbits, at high speed and with minimal delays. It will begin its work in 2027.
From 2025, it is planned to launch 10-12 rockets per year into orbit, about 15 satellites are placed in one rocket. In total, by 2035 more than 900 low-orbit domestic satellites will be created and launched into orbit. They will provide high-speed satellite Internet to residents of all of Russia. The plans are to provide broadband access services using Russian spacecraft in 75 countries around the world. How do you like that, Elon Musk?
On the video – the joy of young Russian engineers. This is how the people who are now creating the future look like. By the way, the name of the Bureau comes from a glorious past. 1440 orbits around the planet were made by the first artificial satellite of the Earth, launched into space by the Soviet Union in 1957.”

Fire Torches Rand Paul’s Kentucky Office
The article I read said he had just referred Fauci for prosecution.
NVM it wasn’t the article, it was Barb Meier’s comment on the article that so stated.
I saw a report about that. I don’t know what anyone expects this DOJ to do, but maybe there is hope for prosecution in a future Trump administration.
🧝🏻🔥😅
Things are getting pretty hot.
A referral that will go nowhere.
Wray won’t even investigate.
I wondered if the arson happened due to the Fauci referral or the failed Senate vote (Wolf shared above) about our Constitution overriding NATO. Rand’s been collecting pelts and it must seem intolerable to some.
Who knows?
We probably never will know.
As an aside, I’m going to create a site, private for now, on which I will do the major slicing and dicing I want to do with the physics series. I’ll let you know where it is and “approve” you and we can do our work and have our editorial discussions there (or discuss here if you like). Knowing me I will probably work them in spurts.
Meanwhile there are a couple more articles still before the physics series.
One hopes that Sen. Dr. Paul doesn’t have any “close encounters” with his “neighbors” roughing him up again.

August is just around the corner.
Things are heating up!
It’s like everything else, all the things the Left is actually doing, and crimes the Left is committing, they accuse and indict their innocent opponents for committing.
At first, it seems like maybe they just have zero imagination, so whatever they’re doing, they just accuse their opponents of the same, i.e., they’re intellectually lazy.
But it always seems like more than that. It always seems calculated in the sense that the public presumably finds it all that more difficult to believe that the Crims would be SO brazen as to accuse others of what they themselves are actually doing.
So by accusing others of their own crimes, it’s a form of self-protection.
Like Dracula going around accusing others (people who are not vampires) of being vampires, and presenting himself as the chief vampire hunter. It makes it all the harder to believe that Dracula himself could be a vampire.
Or like a real witch, becoming the chief witch-hunter, going around accusing innocent people of being witches, to insulate and protect herself from being accused of being a witch.
The racket is the Bye,Done crime regime!!!

I am reminded of reading once that when a communist talks of “peace” it does not mean what Americans think it means. To a communist, “peace” means a lack of dissent where all people obey.
I have the same recollection.
For both Muslims and Communists, “World Peace” means a world at peace because there are no infidels or capitalists, respectively.
Sort of like Chamberlain’s disgusting side-dish, Peas in our Thyme…

FTA:
” … President Donald Trump inherited an SPR with a level of 695 million barrels. For each of his first three years in office, the level of the SPR declined. By the end of 2019, the level had fallen by 60 million barrels to 635 million barrels.
But then on March 19, 2020, President Trump directed the Department of Energy to fill the SPR to maximum capacity to help support domestic oil producers during the Covid-19 pandemic. Funding was blocked by Congress, but 2020 did see a slight increase in the SPR to 638 million barrels. However, President Trump became the first Republican president in the history of the SPR to see a net decline in the SPR volume during his term.”
———————————–
Fact check:
You can tell we have a smart, effective, and thrifty, government, becuase remember when oil went negative in April 2020? We didnt buy a drop for the SPR – even though the govt would have been PAID to take the oil!
That’s the timeframe when trump was trying to buy. And congress blocked it for politics.
BUT … that’s not the narrative in the article …
Bidet: – (266 + 25) million barrels X $76.70 WTI spot = – $22.320 billion
… and that’s a fraction of the billions of $$$ spent to fight the evil RUs. They could have refilled the SPR multiple times with that kind of money. I guess that’s the price to pay to maintain ‘Freedom and Democracy’ and the ‘Rules-Based Order.’
Remind me again how there’s DIMs and GOP in Congress …
Has NOT been that way since JFK was assassinated …
^^^ ANOTHER DumRat Political Blunder. NOT fill the SPR. ^^^
Briben, since January 20, 2021, sold off 397 million barrels. Details below.
“President Joe Biden inherited an SPR at 638 million barrels. However, first in response to rising gasoline prices, and then as a result of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, President Biden announced the most aggressive SPR drawdown in history. During his first two years in office, the SPR was drawn down by 266 million barrels. So far in 2023, another 25 million barrels have been sold from the SPR.”
“… another 25 million barrels have been sold from the SPR.”
I was curious as to whom the oil was sold. Apparently when ‘released’ … the oil is
auctioned/sold to oil corporations. Rumors were rampant that Biden/Congress sold the oil to China.
# 1. A president needs the approval of Congress to release the oil for auction. A so-called GOP controlled Congress voted to release.
# 2. The oil was sold at a profit (Note… this is all above my pay grade) This political junkie wonders where the $4 bln profit went…
# 3. The SPR was created in 1975 after the petro crisis in US, as a hedge against future domestic crisis. The recent oil release was sold to a number of international oil corporations (one Hunter Biden has/had connections with)… a Chinese gov’t owned oil corporation, Sinopec, via Unipec. (Like a bunch of pirates these pols and corps are)
# 4. The oil product in Reserve, is CRUDE oil … (feel free to go down that rabbit hole)
There are more gems in this transaction (apparently a bi-partisan agreement worked out between Biden and Congress – too bad the Uniparty never worked with Trump in any manner…) my ol’ brain is tired … y’all are welcome to dig more.

Further, Kevin should actively make J6 tapes available to all J6 Political Prisoners.
J6ers should be asked IF they’d like the video, made available to them.
Even to the point of using facial recognition to locate video with J6ers.

Well, there were really only 3 credible possibilities:
1) Russia, which has means but no motive, blew up their own pipeline
2) Cabal (U.S., WEF, NATO, E.U., UK, Canadia, NZ, Australia), which is at war with Russia, and has means, motive and opportunity, blew up Russia’s pipeline
3) Wile E. Coyote was making a new Roadrunner movie, and one of the big scenes involved an ACME sub and ACME underwater explosives, which accidentally managed to blow up the pipeline while filming a live action scene at the bottom of the Baltic Sea
It’s certainly not easy to figure out the truth, especially when the ‘experts’ (all Cabal assets) unanimously agree that #1 or #3 is the most likely answer… 😂

I guess gil00 went whale watching and didn’t see any orcas. So here’s what one looks like.
Beautiful, but yikes!
Wild orcas do not attack humans. They are, however, playful — and it looks like this one may have been thinking of grabbing the paddleboard out from under the guy.
Off the coast of Spain, wild orcas have taken to attacking boats, which is worrisome.
Captive orcas have intentionally killed humans ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackfish_(film) ).
OTOH —
Beautiful, and so relaxing to watch.
In monterey.
We didnt. They are still there somewhere. Saw 200+ dolphins, seals with them and a bunch of humpbacks in much of the same area. Surprised no sharks or blue whales.

“Life imitates art far more
than art imitates life”
-Oscar Wilde
Doom and gloom reports are rampant, and I don’t know a way to counter them.
These two links lead to the same article:
It has an excellent 4.5-minute video in a tweet by Jack Posobiec.
It is being said that no conservative can get a fair trial in D.C. Therefore, a Trump conviction is coming, which will be used to either keep him off the ballot in some or all states, or to remove him from office if he wins the presidency.
IMO, all the other Repub candidates are vultures who are waiting for Trump to be taken out so they can have a chance. They do not recognize him as the leader of this movement. They don’t even like the MAGA movement. They don’t acknowledge all he has done and can still do. They have not supported him after 2020 was stolen from him and are sitting by and letting him get blamed for it. They are not acknowledging that our country’s government was overtaken by traitors and criminals and that that wrong has to be righted, and that part of the way to do that is to restore the rightful winner and overturn the fraud. The other candidates are opportunists stepping on the back of Trump to get to the Oval Office, every one of them. I loathe them because they don’t stand for America, only for themselves.
Here’s some of what I see on this site:
● Loyalty to, and love for, Trump and country.
● Scott says the military should have acted a long time ago.
● Kalbo yawns at any mention of our side doing any investigations of the Left, stating that nothing will come of it.
● Some think there is a plan that we aren’t privy to that will make everything right.
● Wolf says things are heating up. I hope people realize how hot the fire has become.
I’m having a very difficult time mustering interest in the situation in Ukraine when our government is being taken from us as we type.
I don’t know of a way to stop the baseless persecution that uses the legal system as a weapon. If a person can’t get a fair trial, what can be done? The J6 prisoners are prime examples. I believe their persecution is to make the situation look more grave than it was so they can pin charges on Trump.
Dave of X22 Report put forth the idea that if Trump is convicted of any of the charges, the RNC could proclaim him ineligible to run as a Republican. Would he run as a third-party candidate? Could he win even if not on the ballot? Even his own party could turn on him.
IMO, very little of the current news matters if they succeed in keeping Trump out of office. Who cares if Vivek has drawn even with DeSantis in the polls? Even the monumental gravity of having a dementia patient occupying the WH pales in comparison to the completed takeover of the United States (of which the dementia patient is a part). Even if JB gets impeached or removed from office, it won’t change the situation with Trump. Whoever JB’s successor is, it won’t change the fact that the Left is taking down our government. We are watching a coup in real time.
We can stay informed, educate people, attend rallies, donate, etc., but those things aren’t going to stop a jury from convicting an innocent man, nor will they stop the legal system from being used as a weapon to take down this country.
Yesterday I saw a statement from Patrick Byrne that he had something on Jack Smith. If that’s true — and it’s a big “if” — could there be an advantage in holding on to the information until closer to the time of trial, to put a monkey wrench in the proceeding? Taking down our enemies is what needs to be done. I just don’t know how to do it.
More than 85% of the world are wondering how to take us down…
And the enemy within is doing it for them.
Yes…
Beat me to it. The enemy within is destroying America.
Nice summation.
A few thoughts. Turned into a ramble. MeThinks, not a rant. 🙂
I am quite positive Trump will beat all the indictments and nonsense to keep him off ballot… More on that in a few.
Somewhere back in January 2021, I gave up the bong, happy talk, that was generally without factual support. Hopia, as some described it. It was hope, just hope.
Sometimes truth, is viewed as doom and gloom. It’s still the truth. Suggest, look at the truth.
Am I thrilled to shit on republicans? No. Generally they are NOT conservative. ROUTINELY republicans BETRAY the voters. SUPPORT Briben policies.
I am pleased to believe in America First types. MAGA types. Conservatives. Jordan, Kari and several others.
The hearings of course are drawing out truth, exposing the frauds… BUT, will DOJ do anything? No, DOJ track record is, liberals walk. Conservatives persecuted. Gotta be honest.
DOJ and FIB will continue doing NOTHING to enforce the law & order. Why believe otherwise?
For whatever reason, the House:
DAILY, I get several thumbs up and positives wearing my Trump hat. Folks that had Trump yard signs in 2020, still do. I am seeing more Trump stickers on cars.
At some point, I gotta believe Trump has a case against the Feds for malicious conduct. Endless investigation that ignored TRUTH. Unwarranted indictments.
Same goes for the assholes in NYC and GA.
The DC indictment, we all know is coming, is the most problematic of all. I have no idea if Trump could get a venue change, to outside of DC. Even get the SC to intervene.
Along those lines, I cannot understand why no “higher” court has intervened in DOJ / FIBS mistreatment of Trump. AND, J6 fiasco.
We, or at least I, do not know the third person Kevin has given access to J6 tapes.
Without a doubt. I am 100% IN, so long as TRUMP, IS IN THE FIGHT.
Lost track of a few other thoughts I wanted to float.
Thanks for sharing those great thoughts.
I agree.
Yes. This is why I’m so disgusted by the Repub presidential candidates. They are of the same ilk.
Agree. Also that the DOJ will do nothing. They are part of the Leftist Deep State. Of course they will not prosecute their own.
Trump seems relaxed and confident. I hope you’re right. It would be nice to know what they’re planning, but they can’t give their strategy away.
Interesting point.
Absolutely!
👍🏼
If you think of them, please share.
The Purge continues:
Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky has terminated the Ukrainian Minister of Cultural Affairs, Alexander Tkachenko, due to Tkachenko’s decision to allocate millions of dollars to projects unrelated to Kiev’s military tasks.
Zelensky: “In times of war like this, the maximum attention of the state and therefore the state’s resources, should be focused on defense. Museums, cultural centers, symbols, television series, everything is important, but now there are other priorities.”
One would assume that because Tkachenko was a member of the Presidential Cabinet he has had regular meetings with the Ukrainian President…it appears that assumption would be erroneous.

“Judge Cannon Blew It – Big-Time” – Mark Levin Reacts to Judge Cannon’s Decision to Set Trump’s Classified Docs Trial Date For May 2024 – 6 Mos Before Election
I think Mark is getting overly excited which is fine, but there are too many other factors that can come into play here, and one of them maybe she’s trying to set up precedent for other courts to follow on the Constitutionality of some these charges. Example, If she rules one way and NJ rules another we may have a Supreme Court issue and you’ll certainly have a public perception issue. But I’m certainly not an expert in this stuff and others of course please weigh in.
Meanwhile the last article from GWP on this was
Judge Cannon Smacks Down Special Counsel Jack Smith in First Major Order in Classified Documents Case
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/07/judge-cannon-smacks-down-special-counsel-jack-smith/
Your first paragraph is very perceptive.
Reading others’ minds is a task best left to Christ.
Levin enjoys screaming. NOT America First. NOT MAGA.
Have no idea if Cannon blew it. I’d guess not.
Lots of motions and hearing before May 20 court date. Case could be delayed further or tossed.
I believe Cannon knows what she is doing.

Levin is as out to lunch, as republicans, regarding impeachment.
Republicans ALREADY have EVERYTHING they need to impeach Briben.
Republicans have ZERO WILL, to impeach. Afraid, cowards, I do not know.
Republicans are One Trick Ponies. STUCK In Their Comfort Zone.
