Dear KMAG: 20240909 Joe Biden Didn’t Win ❀ Open Topic


Joe Biden didn’t win. This is our Real President:

AND our beautiful REALFLOTUS.


This Stormwatch Monday Open Thread remains open – VERY OPEN – a place for everybody to post whatever they feel they would like to tell the White Hats, and the rest of the MAGA/KAG/KMAG world (with KMAG being a bit of both).

And yes, it’s Monday…again.

But we WILL get through it!

We will always remember Wheatie,

Pray for Trump,

Yet have fun,

and HOLD ON when things get crazy!


We will follow the RULES of civility that Wheatie left for us:

Wheatie’s Rules:

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

And while we engage in vigorous free speech, we will remember Wheatie’s advice on civility, non-violence, and site unity:

“We’re on the same side here so let’s not engage in friendly fire.”

“Let’s not give the odious Internet Censors a reason to shut down this precious haven that Wolf has created for us.”

If this site gets shut down, please remember various ways to get back in touch with the rest of the gang:

Our beloved country is under Occupation by hostile forces.

Daily outrage and epic phuckery abound.

We can give in to despair…or we can be defiant and fight back in any way that we can.

Joe Biden didn’t win.

And we will keep saying Joe Biden didn’t win until we get His Fraudulency out of our White House.


Wolfie’s Wheatie’s Word of the Week:

taximeter

noun

  • instrument for measuring fee for hired vehicle
  • instrument installed in a taxicab to measure distance traveled and waiting time and to compute and indicate the fare
  • meter in a taxi that registers the fare (based on the length of the ride)
  • device installed in a taxicab that calculates the fare based upon distance traveled and waiting time

Shown in a picture (classic)

Shown in a picture (modern)

So how do YOU pronounce this word?


MUSIC!

OK – this is one of my old faves – and now I get to hear it like it was the first time, through this lovely lady.

Good stuff! “Jazzy!”


THE STUFF

And then there is the taxi that costs way too much and only takes you down a few miles.

And maybe you come back up.

Let me put it this way.

Biden-Harris (terrible idea) was a carbon fiber submarine.

Harris-Walz (worse idea) is a carbon fiber submarine with explosive armor around it ……. “because it might help.”

But remember…….

Until victory, have faith!

And trust the big plan, too!

And as always….

ENJOY THE SHOW

It’s Merry Monday!  😍 

para59r

Yippie! Merry Monday!
That explains this..

GA/FL

Just to be clear – the muslim god they call allah – is not the same GOD – is not The HOLY HEAVENLY GOD OF ALL, FATHER, SON, HOLY SPIRIT.

The fruit of Islam is lies, lust, rape of children, women, corpses, human trafficking, slavery, murder, terrorism, war, conquest, pillage, tyranny, oppression – all these are works of evil.

And that is the polar opposite of the Fruit of the HOLY SPIRIT – Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Goodness, Kindness, Faithfulness, Meekness, Gentleness, Self control, as well as Faith, Reverent Fear of the Lord, reverence for Life, Humility, Chastity, Modesty, Hope, Forgiveness, Mercy, Truth, Justice, Honesty, Fruitful constructive work, Edifying speech, Generosity, Hospitality and much more…

rayzorback

Islamists will die (and kill) for their “god” (to become martyrs).
Christians… God died for “US” as an eternal sacrifice.

Deplorable Patriot

There are MANY Christians who were martyred not denouncing the faith, including all of the original Apostles other than St. John. This was long before Islam existed. Many more were martyred by Muslims as well.

rayzorback

The point was…. muzzies KILL others for their “god”. Not the same as BEING “martyred”.

para59r

True, you can tell by his sword collection. 😮 What kind of Holy Prophet for the Religion of Peace has a sword collection? Maybe someone misspelled “piece”? 🤔 or there’s something we don’t understand about “Islam” meaning “submission”.

Since were talking taxis and meters none of these should be confused by the many Nilometers used to determine taxes in Ancient Egypt. If the water levels were so high, they’d calculate the drainage into the fields and determine your crop yields. Apparently after the 1st was set up others were built along the river to confound the tax collectors?

Very nice. Slight difference though. Those in Egypt are made to determine how much tax your area has to pay. These are actual wells. I’ve seen the top two before, but not the bottom two. Thank You. 😁

“Can’t Take It Anymore”: Residents Of Springfield Ohio Beg For Help After 20,000 Haitians Overwhelm City, Eat Local Wildlife
These reports make me sick. Get ’em outta here! What is it going to take?

Absolutely HEARTBREAKING moment Springfield, Ohio, resident tells mayor that she “can’t take it anymore” as Haitian migrants squat on her lawn, litter in her yard and harass her and elderly husband daily.

The mayor of Springfield does NOT want people to see this:

IMO she was way too polite. You don’t say “I’m sorry” to the people who are allowing and imposing these things.

…Resident Glenda Bailey told the city “They have become the occupiers. What they’ve done is they’ve replaced the population in Springfield.”

In July, city manager Bryan Heck wrote to leaders of the Senate Banking Committee asking for more federal funding.

“Springfield has seen a surge in population through immigration that has significantly impacted our ability as a community to produce enough housing opportunities for all,” he wrote.

Funding? Get ’em outta here!

TheseTruths

This is not America. They are transforming our country before our eyes, and the city manager just wants more money for “housing.” I can’t imagine living in that area. I would be livid.

that’s just what they want…

so we will react to it, overwhelmed.

and everything we say & do will be used against us.

The entire town needs to go on strike, as Aubergine and others have suggested.

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

Combine this story with the one about jobs being funneled to refugees…and now it appears that if the whole town went on strike, there are already scabs ready to go.

mollypitcher5

I don’t get this alleged jobs situation. They keep spouting off that these illegals will take and have been placed in jobs Americans refuse to do…..okay but we’re talking 20,000 in this city..30,000 in others.
There aren’t 10,000 or 15,000 jobs. The companies may have some openings..being absurdly generous..a couple hundred positions available maybe.

We’re being spoon fed lies. The quick shut-us-up answers. The answers never made sense and are becoming more ridiculous

Aubergine

Lol.

Do you think a Haitian can repair plumbing? They’ve probably never seen an indoor system.

How about repair a car? How many have ever driven one? A semi? Lol.

Oh, maybe they can work at the auto parts store. No, wait, they can’t look up parts on a computer; they can’t read, and they’ve never used a computer.

They’re Haitians,dude. They’re ready-made welfare recipients, not workers.

He’s funny but the animals are destroying thousands of acres of crops.

pat frederick

a particularly chunky raccoon broke an entire medium sized branch off our small apple tree. and every year they raid our grapevines. then, they come up on the deck and leave their calling cards

Aubergine

It’s very important not to allow animals to overpopulate. People don’t understand that they die by the millions sometimes because they have run rampant on grain and cornfields that their ancestral herds had no access to, thus allowing the herd to grow completely out of control.

pgroup2

Why trap wild hogs? Just shoot ’em.

Texas has 12 month open season and no limits. Hell, they hunt ’em from helos!

If you’re gonna solved a problem, first thing you do is get rid of the rules.

Nothing destroys the parasites. Fortunately, they can be digested just like everything else.

You want high heat or prolonged lower heat to render the parasites unable to reproduce.

Thankfully, I don’t have those!

Aubergine

The entire COUNTRY needs to go on strike.

I have said, and I mean, if this election in November goes sideways, I quit. Unless there is some sort of actual, sensible, non-prosecutable-by-lawfare action taken by the American people (they can’t force us to work for them; that’s all we’ve got). In that case, I will participate.

Otherwise, it’s me and mine in a quest for survival. That’s all I’ll have time for.

Aubergine

I’ve got plenty of ideas. I am holding my cards right on my chest.

There will be no violence from me, that I will tell you. There will be no illegal activity, either. But there are definitely rights I have straight from God, and there are definitely benefits that come to people from my labor. Which cannot be coerced.

There’s a snarky remark about your location for card holding but I’m just going to be quiet.

March 18, 2015 — Report: Executive Amnesty to cost Taxpayers $1.3 Trillion

November 28, 2023 — Illegals Cost the US $450B a Year

9/8/23 Confirmed: Joe Biden Paying Illegals $2,200 a Month Plus free Travel, Housing, Medical Services

Americans on Social Security average just $1,781.63 a month, according to federal data. but Biden is doling out $2,200 a month plus a long list of other freebies to criminal aliens who have broken our laws to get here.

“The Biden-Harris administration is giving more money to illegal immigrant invaders, than to our own U.S. citizens” said William Gheen, president of ALIPAC,

United Nations Grantee Uses U.S. Tax Dollars To Fund Illegal Immigration

During a recent trip to a Reynosa, Mexico migrant camp, I took photos of a United Nations-supported International Organization for Migration (IOM) operation to hand out cash debit cards to intending and repeat border crossers.

One of two workers at a plastic folding table inside the Reynosa camp, which was filled to capacity with at least 1,200 mostly U.S.-expelled Central Americans, said they were distributing the cards for IOM to help migrants waiting until they cross the Rio Grande at greater leisure to claim asylum, for which most will be declared ineligible years later. Many parents, for instance, got about $400 every 15 days, I was told, or $800 a month if they were still there to collect it, although the support level varied.

A listing from NUMBERS-USA

What “jobs” are they qualified to take?

they might be putting them in food processing plants which might explain the listeria outbreaks. do they even know what toiler paper is?

Yes, another place for low-level workers. And yet another reason to stop eating non-local food. Find a farmer.

pat frederick

got one for a son in law!
and there are several within miles of us
local produce cannot be beat!
one summer, a local farmer had a corn stand we visited. we drove up and the son was working the stand. the father came over when we told the son we’d take a dozen. farmer said, don’t give them that–pointing to the ones left on the table. he said, we picked that this morning. we’ll pick you fresh. he pointed to the ones on the table again and said to the son…give that to the animals.
we go back there every year for sweet corn…none better than fresh picked.

Fresh picked anything is best. Food starts to lose nutrients the moment it is harvested. That’s why I say frozen is most often better than “fresh” in a grocery store. The “fresh” veggies were probably picked a week ago.

I read somewhere–can’t find it now–that farmers are finding a way to circumvent the fda’s expensive meat processing plants and unknown additives.. farmers sell “shares” in a cow. (like your 1/4 and 1/2 cow examples above). apparently the fda does not currently control animals the farmer processes for himself–and allows private butchering to be done.
so a farmer will allow certain people to buy maybe up to 3/4 of cow and keeps the other 1/4 himself. he does not have to add fda crap or truck the cow to the meat packing plant for butchering. owners get beef they know does not contain certain substances and farmers see quicker turn around for their cows.

Farmers really need to get creative.

Right now in the current illegal system there’s no real reason other than optics for them to be working anyway. They’re already receiving monthly income, healthcare, EBT and sometimes housing placement.
It’s all very confusing

Aubergine

Yes it is.

TheseTruths

Good questions. I’m guessing the jobs would have to be entry-level, like in fast food, or as helpers to the lowest level of workers, like someone who fetches and carries things on a construction crew or who runs errands for the actual administrative assistant. But I don’t see how Haitians, with no driver’s licenses and maybe not speaking good English (if they speak it at all) could fill those positions.

The mene I posted begins by talking about migrants in general but then turns to Haitians. I bet there are a lot of migrants besides Haitians who could fill jobs. Some people from South American countries are skilled in trades like bricklaying, masonry, painting, and the like.

Aubergine

Yes, there are skilled laborers from other countries, but how many of them are coming over our Southern border. That’s the question.

I’m with Trump; I don’t think the “best and brightest” are the ones showing up.

TheseTruths

Excellent points made.

I believe there are some rank-and-file Progressives who want Big Brother to control every aspect of their lives (and some will change their minds once they actually experience the lack of autonomy). But I think the rich and powerful Progressives believe that other people should not have agency. I think they want freedom and personal agency for themselves, but want control over everyone else. They are hypocrites.

Gail Combs

The powerful Progressives think THEY should be the ones in control of YOUR life. They even say it.

write a sonnet…

Do Limericks count? 😅

https://www.thoughtco.com/what-is-a-sonnet-2985266

Sonnets share these characteristics:

• Fourteen lines: All sonnets have 14 lines, which can be broken down into four sections called quatrains.

• A strict rhyme scheme: The rhyme scheme of a Shakespearean sonnet, for example, is ABAB / CDCD / EFEF / GG (note the four distinct sections in the rhyme scheme).

• Written in iambic pentameter: Sonnets are written in iambic pentameter, a poetic meter with 10 beats per line made up of alternating unstressed and stressed syllables.

A sonnet can be broken into four sections called quatrains. The first three quatrains contain four lines each and use an alternating rhyme scheme. The final quatrain consists of just two lines, which both rhyme. Each quatrain should progress the poem as follows:

• First quatrain: This should establish the subject of the sonnet.Number of lines: four; rhyme scheme: ABAB

• Second quatrain: This should develop the sonnet’s theme.Number of lines: four; rhyme scheme: CDCD

• Third quatrain: This should round off the sonnet’s theme.Number of lines: four; rhyme scheme: EFEF

• Fourth quatrain: This should act as a conclusion to the sonnet.Number of lines: two; rhyme scheme: GG

Sonnet 18 is probably the most well-known of all of Shakespeare’s sonnets:

“Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?

Thou art more lovely and more temperate:

Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,

And summer’s lease hath all too short a date:

Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,

And often is his gold complexion dimm’d;

And every fair from fair sometime declines,

By chance, or nature’s changing course, untrimm’d;

But thy eternal summer shall not fade

Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st;

Nor shall Death brag thou wander’st in his shade,

When in eternal lines to time thou grow’st;

So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,

So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.”

I did not know what a hoochie momma was, so I asked Gab AI:

A “hoochie momma” is a slang term used to describe a woman who is considered sexually promiscuous or easily available for sex. The term is often used in a derogatory manner and can be considered a form of objectification. It’s essential to note that this term is not universally accepted and can be seen as misogynistic or insulting by many people.

And the followup query should be …

Do you approve of objectifying women in a sexual manner? Explain your answer.

I’m getting psyched-up for the concert on Thursday.

For those who missed it, the music will be three King Crimson albums from the early ’80s — Discipline, Beat, and Three of a Perfect Pair. The band is four people, as was King Crimson at the time. Two of the people will be the same as 40 years ago — vocalist/guitar/synths/sound effects Adrian Belew; and bass/Chapman Stick/background vocals Tony Levin.

The two newbies will be Danny Cary of Tool on drums/percussion, filling in for Bill Bruford (who is no longer performing). The last remaining seat will cover for Robert Fripp, who played guitar, guitar synth, “Frippertronics”, sound effects, and ran King Crimson (which he owns) with an iron fist. Steve Vai gets that spot.

Fripp has blessed the overall project. Vai had three custom guitars made for the endeavor (with guitar-synth guts) and has been in contact with Fripp about the parts. One of the guitar journalists asked Vai if he would be using Fripp’s personal oddball guitar tuning, and Vai replied, “No.” He didn’t go into any detail — just the single syllable, stated very firmly.

I’ve seen Yes, Marillion, Rush, Fish, and Peter Gabriel, and this will be the Proggiest concert I’ve ever attended. I should note that there are only 24 songs in total on these three albums, so I have a pretty good idea of what I’m getting into. That said, these three records really made a big difference in the world of Prog at the time.

It probably goes without saying, but because I will be there on Thursday night, I will not be here.

Lacking evidence and understanding of invisible dynamics, we conclude thunder means the gods are angry, and so our response is to make a sacrifice and beg the gods’ forgiveness.”

I don’t know about that.

Seems more likely that some tyrannical gov’t dirtbag decided to use thunder as a false flag, to mislead everyone into thinking the gods were angry (problem), at which point the gov’t dirtbag had a ready-made ‘solution’ (sacrifice).

We also observe that thunder is nearly always accompanied by rain.

Does that mean the gods are crying?

So which is it — are they angry, or sad?

Or maybe they’re just peeing?

This is why I doubt any of the predictions about what happens next in the global and US economies, geopolitics, etc. will prove accurate. Every prediction is based, explicitly or implicitly, on a model with shaky foundations and therefore shaky causality, a model that fails to identify the keystones in each complex subsystem that makes up the system the model is modeling.”

Sounds like something AI could calculate easily, in real time, based on thousands of subsystems and their keystones.

There was no room at all, in these ways of thinking, for the novel, apocalyptic situation which had now arisen, a situation which needed solutions as radical as itself. His whole attitude is a complacent acceptance of things as they are, without a single new idea.

This acceptance was accompanied by greatly excessive optimism about the present and future. Even when the end was only sixty years away, and the Empire was already crumbling fast, Rutilius continued to address the spirit of Rome with the same supreme assurance.

_______________

Because the rich and powerful are insulated from the impact of their actions (or lack thereof) longer than anyone else.

Right up to the moment when the barbarians crash the gate.

Until that moment, they can remain willfully blind in both eyes, living a life of luxury.

It is only the regular People who see what’s coming, because they experience the impact of gov’t failure (whether incompetence or intentional) decades before the rich and powerful ever will.

Yes – our country is under occupation by hostile forces – destructive evil forces – spiritual enemies underlying overt circumstances.

President Trump on school shootings – “This is not a gun problem. This is a mental health problem. This is a social problem. This is a cultural problem. This is a spiritual problem.”

That cultural and spiritual problem is this:  Western nations (US, UK, France, Germany, etc.) have created laws that enable us to break all of GOD’s Commandments and some laws that would force us to do so.  

Problem with that is – we can’t ever break or change GOD’s Commandments – they are the eternal unbreakable laws that govern the universe – that is why GOD carved them by His own Hand in tablets of stone for Moses.  

When we attempt to break or change GOD’s Laws and Commandments – we only break and destroy ourselves and others – like ships breaking up on a rocky shore.  

Breaking GOD’s Word and Laws is always sin and sin is always harm and destruction – and it is giving ourselves over to evil and evil spirits.


Exorcist describes the US and Western nations changing laws to give our culture and countries up to the pagan demon gods.


Gender Ideology and the Paganization of Western Culture – By Michael Egnor M.D.
https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2022/09/gender_ideology_and_the_paganization_of_western_culture.html

Jonathan Cahn wrote in his book – Return of the Gods – that western nations, by their laws and tolerance for perversion have revived the old pagan gods – Baal (sexual sin) Moloch (abortion) and Ishtar (gender reversal and confusion) – https://vachristian.org/the-return-of-the-gods-by-jonathan-cahn/

A 2 Part interview of Jonathan Cahn by Dr. James Dobson – https://www.drjamesdobson.org/broadcasts/return-of-the-gods-part-1 

NOTE – Don’t be confused by the different names of the pagan demon gods – the Greeks, Romans, Sumerians, and surrounding pagan nations had different names for their gods, but their worship was the same.

pgroup2

Return of the Gods is a great read. Its most important contribution to the discourse is its premise that the ancient gods are real entities. When I was a child, we were taught that they were false [imaginary?] gods. This teaching overlooks the fact that Pharaoh’s magicians and mystic advisors changed their staffs into snakes just as Moses did.

Perhaps the “awakening” for which so many yearn is the result of coming to grips with the reality that other gods are real in our physical realm.

That book sounds like it has Gnostic strains when talking real or false. Huge ball of worms.

Meanwhile most ancient gods if not all started out well, with humble good intent, but liberalism corrupted them and destroyed them. Greedy leftists wanting power, not willing to put their shoulder to the wheel but short cutting their way to prosperity.

And some seem to have been conceived by liberals from the very beginning. Starting off evil in competition with the good or better gods.

Martin Luther said it in his great hymn…

1 A mighty fortress is our God,
a bulwark never failing;
our helper he, amid the flood
of mortal ills prevailing.
For still our ancient foe
does seek to work us woe;
his craft and power are great,
and armed with cruel hate,
on earth is not his equal.

2 Did we in our own strength confide,
our striving would be losing,
were not the right Man on our side,
the Man of God’s own choosing.
You ask who that may be?
Christ Jesus, it is he;
Lord Sabaoth his name,
from age to age the same;
and he must win the battle.

3 And though this world, with devils filled,
should threaten to undo us,
we will not fear, for God has willed
his truth to triumph through us.
The prince of darkness grim,
we tremble not for him;
his rage we can endure,
for lo! his doom is sure;
one little word shall fell him.

4 That Word above all earthly powers
no thanks to them abideth;
the Spirit and the gifts are ours
through him who with us sideth.
Let goods and kindred go,
this mortal life also;
the body they may kill:
God’s truth abideth still;
his kingdom is forever!

The previously reported Trump rally again took place this past Saturday at a major intersection in suburban Buffalo, the 155th consecutive event. One of the originals told me Saturday that the rally started out as a “we will not comply” rally against covid restrictions, and that it slowly transformed into a general pro-Trump patriot rally.

1) There was a good turn-out Saturday, over 30 people, and several new folks (new to me).

2) The guy who went to the Butler rally told me what he thinks happened, based on his presence there and his quite impressive grasp of the evidence gathered in the Congressional investigation. According to this fellow, Crooks started shooting too soon. There was a professional assassin on the water tower who was not set up when Crooks started shooting. That assassin immediately left the tower, realizing the timing was off. 

3) We got interrupted, so I was not able to clarify his information about the water tower, whether this was something he himself saw. This fellow was a military guy, and a sharp guy in general, and he might very well have had the presence of mind to scan the area for shooters.

4) Crooks was interrupted by the local cop who took an amazing shot, after which the patsy Crooks was murdered by the government.

5) There are many husbands and wives who attend the rally together. My wife has been working each Saturday.

6) My (Jewish) in-laws are visiting this week, and will be here next Saturday. My BIL said he would like to go to the rally with me, although for various reasons that may or may not happen. I just mention the Jewish thing because he and my other Jewish in-laws are VERY MAGA and pro-Trump. This is the sort of personal experience which makes it absurd to generalize.

7) I have avoided getting specific on ethnic things. It is generally repellant to me because of all the phony narratives. Better off not feeding into the narratives. Constant focus on ethnic issues feeds into the phony narratives.

8) I am violating my own inclination now. At the rally there are people from different backgrounds, and they ALL know what is happening to us. Trump appeals to good people, period.

9) The response from the traffic likewise comes from people of different backgrounds, all sharing the same enthusiasm. FWIW

10) Totally subjective, but the response from traffic seemed to be significantly more enthusiastic this week. Everybody I spoke to at the rally agreed.

11) The negative reactions, although never frequent whatsoever, were almost non-existent, and seemed to be replaced by a sort of sullen resignation. Again, subjective.

12) The boy whose mother tried to turn him into a girl with the assistance of the government and “medical” authorities, was there again waving a Trump flag. His courageous father and I have become friendly. 

13) Speaking of responses, we got a loud and continuous positive one from a guy driving a US Post Office truck, and also from a local police department vehicle. Surprising!

Thanks, Tonawanda. Regarding the growing enthusiasm from passing traffic, I think it is real. It goes back to that concept of one person taking the lead, and others then follow.

But the next week I’d wonder if you’d be there again. Upon seeing you, my anticipation validated, I’d honk!

Hate to think what’s in Kamala’s old Jamaican kettle from the good old slave days. I’m sure it’s a family heirloom, past down from generation to generation.

BTW you can look up Harris on Wikipedia and not a whiff of her Jamaican roots on her page. The word Jamaica does not show up at all. However if you go to her family Wikipedia page it’s there. Not sure how they get away with that, but they do.

Jamaicans are real fussy about their food.

they don’t eat just anything.

they definitely don’t eat cats.

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.

STRENGTHEN MY HEART

Have mercy on me, my Lord and my God;
For I am distressed – in chains I am shod;
My tears flow like rivers – raging from strain;
My heart is pierced – my throat aches in pain!

My life spent in sorrow – and in deep regret;
My sins are before me – I cannot forget;
In repentance I seek You – for right relief;
Your loving kindness is – my refuge – belief!

Lord – affliction – has broken down my strength;
From helplessness, stress – I suffer at length;
My foes have encompassed me – all around;
They ravage me daily – destruction bound!

I trust in You, Lord – take comfort in You;
Come to my aid – Lord – Refresh me anew;
My life is in Your hands – if it be Your Will;
Calm the waters – from their raging – be still!

Feed me – knead me – with Your nourishing grace;
Through faith without fear – my weakness erase;
Infuse me with courage – and strengthen me;
Help me be steadfast – a stronghold like Thee!

Let me be glad and rejoice in Your love;
Assured in Your goodness sent from above;
Let me not – for one moment – be fearful;
Keep me far from unsure – doubtful – tearful!

Free me from distress – of body and mind;
Help me walk self-assured – no longer blind;
With my life in Your hands – deliver me;
From the throes of my foes – let me be free!

Strengthen My Heart – as only You know how;
Pour forth Your knowledge – understanding now;
Send in Your angels – with reinforcements;
Lift up my spirit – in inch increments!

Send forth Your Spirit – to enlighten me;
With knowledge – understanding – wisdom be;
A tower of strength – instilled in my heart;
Let not Your Spirit – from me ere depart!

Strengthen My Heart – my Lord and my King;
Let the indwelling Spirit – His power bring;
Your justice – Oh Lord – from on high rain down;
Let Your Heavenly Grace – be forever my crown!

Good morning friends 🙂
I will be so happy when the political season is finished one way or the other . One way with Trump leading the presidency. This has been / is a long drag and I feel we have been ad it since 2016.
I have been ruminating if the impossible happens and Harris wins.
Looking back at my visits every summer since I remember spending time with my Oma in the DDR.
Yes their was no free speech, yes their were food shortages yes communists had their spy’s out yes kids were indoctrinated and church was discouraged. One thing however can give one hope how resilient humanity is. People came together friendships were and people family relationships were meaningful. The simplicity of living enriched the soul. A walk in the woods or park the first flowers after the winter and traditions were kept between friends and families. There is hope even in darkest hour.
I am grateful to be among you all even though I have been way to busy with other things.
At my age friends have moved or died so you guys are it here. I pray we can keep this going God and Wolf willing. 🙂 Should we loose I pray that we can find still joy on or tree ?
Love you all and thank you for all you do 😘
I cannot get on the forum with my tablet but I read in the evening . My laptop thank God still gives me access
By the way it is the DDR people in Germany who are fighting again to keep their freedom by voting in the Maga party. They have learned and have the will to be free.

“have been busy in this old house to much wood to wax to much banister and baseboard and to many rooms on the second floor”

______________

Staying busy is good 👍😁

Your comment about an old house and too much wood to wax brought back lots of memories!

When I was a fraternity pledge in college (for 3 quarters instead of just one, because the fraternity was on probation from having new pledge classes for 2 quarters, because of getting caught hazing), we had what were called ‘work parties’ every Thursday night, from 7pm to around 4 or 5 o’clock in the morning.

It was a party for the active members who showed up, but it was only work for the pledges. And non-stop hazing, it’s not like they were going to stop hazing, just because they were on probation for hazing 😂

The fraternity house was a mansion, and if I remember correctly, about 35 guys lived there, mostly two to a room. There was a large basement converted into multiple bedrooms / dorm rooms, then the main floor with all wood floors. There was the large wood floor entrance room, a big stairway and door to the kitchen on the left, a big wood floor dining room to the right, and a large wood floor ballroom past the dining room.

Then the 2nd floor which was converted to multiple bedrooms / dorm rooms all around the perimeter, with a large bathroom in the center, like you would have in a college dormitory (5 or 6 bathroom stalls, big communal shower, lots of old white tile).

Then there was the 3rd floor, which had a few more bedrooms and the big main fraternity meeting room, with wood floor. This was the room where everyone gathered for fraternity business, weekly meetings, choosing new pledges (like the scene in the movie Animal House), etc.

All of the wood floor rooms were big rooms.

The pledges wore blue jeans and white T-shirts (you had to wear the same jeans and T-shirt to every work party and through Hell Week), all lined up, military style with heels together, toes angled outward 45°, shoulders back, chest out, hands holding the sides of your jeans, like you were holding a roll of quarters, looking straight ahead (and never look an active member in the eye).

There were always military guys (ROTC when I was there) in the fraternity, and the fraternity was founded before the Civil War with several of the 7 founding members serving during the Civil War (at least 3 for the Union and 1 for the Confederacy), so it’s anyone’s guess how far back the militaristic aspects of the hazing and other rituals go.

There was a janitor type mop bucket (bucket on wheels) filled with hot water, and a couple cans of Comet were dumped all over the wood floor by the active member in charge. Every pledge was issued one of those old fashioned peanut-shaped wooden brushes with the hard bristles to scrub with.

Like this:

comment image

.

There were about 20 of us when pledging started, standing shoulder to shoulder across the room. Everything was removed from the room, so the floors were clear from wall to wall.

When the scrubbing began (after some warm-up hazing, naturally), everyone was on their hands and knees, facing the closest wall, two hands on the big wooden brush, so all of our upper body weight was always on the brush.

When scrubbing commenced, everything had to be done in unison. The premise being that scrubbing the fraternity house floors was supposed to be ‘unity-building’ exercise.

So we began scrubbing, and moving backwards (on hands and knees), in unison, keeping in a straight line, while sending the bucket of water up and down the line to dip the brushes in, to get enough water to dissolve the Comet all over the floor, and scrub the wood clean.

Sometimes we would sing work songs while we scrubbed, which we were allowed to do, otherwise it was total silence for the pledges (the active members could do whatever they wanted, including hazing us while we worked).

When the line of pledges worked their way to the opposite wall, so our feet touched the wall behind us, the pledge class president (in the middle of the line of pledges) banged the wooden side of his scrub brush onto the wood floor 3 times, and on the 3rd time, everyone spun around on one knee to their left (or right, I forget which, but it was all the same direction), and go back the other direction.

Rinse and repeat, rolling the bucket along with us, with all 20 of us staying in a straight line as we moved backwards across the room, with active members shouting at us to stay in a straight line, or they would stop us, haze us some more, and make us start over.

This wasn’t leisurely scrubbing, this was scrubbing like you wanted to be the last person the active members decided to single out for special punishment for slacking off or not being able to stay in a straight line with the other pledges.

Once we went back and forth across the room like that for a couple hours (the better you did, the sooner it would end), then we would line up again, get hazed some more, and take our T-shirts off.

Then back on our hands and knees, in formation, using our T-shirts the same way we did the scrub brushes, to dry the wood floor, moving in unison, crawling backwards on hands and knees, until our feet hit the wall behind us, and then spinning around in unison and going the other direction, until the floor was dry, dragging the wheeled mop-bucket along with us as we went, wringing our T-shirts out into the mop-bucket as necessary.

Then lining up, standing at attention, and putting our wet, filthy T-shirts back on 👍😁

But the fun was just getting started. Then out comes the pine scent cans of floor WAX. And the active members never forgot to read the instructions to us, which included language about making sure to rub the wax in to a fine HAZE. They thought that was very funny, every time!

So off come the T-shirts again, and back down on our hands and knees again, for another hour or so, back and forth across the room, in unison, over and over again, using our T-shirts to spread the wax all over the floor.

Then line up again and stand at attention, while the active members (mostly drunk by this time), played slip and slide (and fall) or hockey for a while on the slippery wax-covered floor.

After they had some fun, and we got a rest (while standing at attention) it was time to finish rubbing all the wax into the floor to give it a nice shine and polish.

That usually took 3 or 4 hours for the downstairs. Then another hour or so, cleaning the big communal bathroom on the 2nd floor. Then another 3 or 4 hours on the large attic meeting room wooden floor, doing the same thing as with the ball room and dining room floors on the first floor. But with time for extra hazing, as by around 2 in the morning, the campus bars were closing, and everyone who lived at the fraternity house was coming home. And most of them wanted to haze the pledges before going to bed.

These were big rooms, big enough for 20 guys to stand (or scrub) side by side with room to move between them. As the months went by, pledges would quit, and those who remained had to take up the slack. So the fewer pledges there were, the more floor area we each had to cover, while staying in a straight line, moving the mop bucket up and down the line, etc.

You might be surprised how good one can get at something like that, with enough practice (and incentive) 😁

By the end of pledging (after 3 quarters) we were down to about 10 or 12 guys, and by the end of Hell Week (scrubbing the floors every night like we did on Thursday work parties, and other fun stuff, and sleeping in our pledge clothes in the attic fraternity meeting room each night, on the wood floor, inside a boundary marked with duct tape on the floor, which got a foot smaller all around each day through the week, so you were sleeping on top of each other, along with your school books, because anything outside the line the active members could take or mess with), there were only 7 of us.

It helped to be good physical shape when pledging began. If not, everybody (who made it) was in good physical shape by the time pledging was over 😂

Except for our knees.

We had to wear the same clothes for Thursday work parties from beginning of pledging to the end, and no padding was allowed in the knees (they checked). By the second (or at most, third week), everybody had holes in the knees of their jeans.

So from that point on, the skin of your knees was helping to grind the Comet into the wood floor during the scrubbing, and helping to wax the wood floor to a fine haze.

So your knees were raw and usually bloody by the end of every Thursday night ‘work party’. There wasn’t enough time between work parties for calluses to build up, or open wounds to heal.

The hair on my knees didn’t grow back for YEARS afterward 😂

Ah, memories. I can still smell the Comet, and the pine scented wax, if I close my eyes and think about it 😁

singingsoul1

True 🙂

pgroup2

I think you just informed all of us why you are the way you are.

scott467

I was that way long before, that’s probably why I was one of the guys who made it. Three quarters is a long time to be a pledge.

A few people had a hard time with the physical aspect of pledging, it wasn’t easy, but nearly everyone is shocked, at least initially, by the psychological abuse, the verbal abuse, the screaming (like a drill instructor, except 20 or more of them at the same time), etc.

They swarm you. You could have 5 active members surrounding you, screaming at you, spit flying out of the mouths, like rage-aholics, while you stand there at attention, not looking any active member in the eye.

Pledging, at least at fraternities with a reputation for hazing, is basically a contest of wills. Their job is (or certainly seemed to be) to make us so miserable that we quit. I don’t know why, it seemed stupid to me, but that’s how it was. So my reaction to that was simple (though stupid, in hindsight), i.e., you can’t make me quit. My will was stronger than theirs. All of theirs.

I couldn’t know that of course, and it didn’t matter whether it was actually true, and it wasn’t being arrogant, it was just a survival mechanism.

After the first ‘work party’, one of my best friends from high school, who transferred to the same university sophomore year and became an active member in the same fraternity in the pledge class before mine, came by to see how I was.

He hadn’t really told me very much about what went on during pledging, because nobody was supposed to talk about anything that happened inside the fraternity house, mostly because the university was cracking down on hazing, and the judgment / penalty for the most recent hazing incident wasn’t rendered until after my pledge class began.

So he asked how I was doing, and I said I was tired and my knees hurt 😂

He asked if I thought I could put up with all the yelling and psychological BS. He wanted to know if I thought I could make it the distance (I thought it would only be one school quarter at the time!), because he said it was only going to get harder.

A lot of people (the smarter ones) quit after the first ‘work party’, so basically he was trying to let me know that if it wasn’t right for me, I might as well get out now.

I thought about it for a second, and I said there’s nothing they can do to me, that my Mom hasn’t done a lot worse, and for a lot longer.

He knew my Mom since he and I became friends in 7th grade, so he understood what I meant. He smiled, slapped me on the shoulder and knew that I was going to be just fine.

Piece of cake 😉 😁

It’s a cut-and-paste of someone holding a cat with both hands. That’s why three fingers of a left hand show.

As I said, AI gave him 3 hands.

.Hear me out…I live a very isolated life. My greatest joy is that there is an abandoned and falling down garage on the property across the street and, for all the years that I have been living here there have been troops of feral cats that have resided in the building. “Mama” is the oldest living at about 5 years (life is hard on them and 5 years is an old feral) and she had gone missing for about 5 days.

The building isn’t mine, but I’m the only person living for blocks around the garage and the other day while I was mowing the property, I heard the cries of a kitten/cat in trouble. I pinpointed where I thought the sound was coming from which was inside the falling down building so…I took a brick and broke what remained of glass in the window, crawled in over a work bench and started to search…

I got down on my knees and with my flashlight discovered a 4 ” x 10ft crack under the workbench and the howls of the kitten/cat were coming behind the crack. And then I looked into the crack and discovered an abandoned thirty foot wide, thirty foot deep concrete silo that had been built into the ground. I was going to cut through the wall but found that the wall was a foot thick slab of concrete….

So, I lowered cat food and water with a jerry-rigged elevator/rope situation through the 4″ gap, down to the bottom of the 30 foot silo. Came back an hour later with my skil saw and destroyed the door to the room (I’m old and climbing through windows ain’t my preference), raised the contraption and yep, the food had been eaten, the water drunk and the cat had gone silent….

What to do, what to do? My father who had great words of wisdom such as “are ya stupid or somethin'” once told me that I couldn’t “save all the kittens in the barn” and I knew I had only one option left and that was the cat itself. I pulled together some wide wood planks, screwed them together, screwed on some little foot steps on the planks and slathered the foot steps with cat food. Then I spent two hours figuring out how to lower my planks through a four inch gap, into the silo so that there was enough angle for the cat to crawl out if it was able.

Last night “Mama” showed up at my doorstep. Tomorrow, I’ll get out my saw and cut some plywood to cover the door I knocked down and the window that I broke and I promise, if I ever see a Haitian around my ferals…..I know exactly where I’ll hide the body.

Lucky kitten!

When you go back tomorrow, if the kitten is still stuck down in the abandoned silo, why not call the fire department?

They love that kind of mission, and they definitely have the tools and know-how to bust out some concrete and complete the rescue of your kitten friend 👍

I could call the fire department Scott, but…..I don’t own the building. And, since I don’t own the building I can’t do anything other than commit the crime of illegal entry and do the best I can.

PS…Fire Department is entirely volunteer and there is no way any of them would do anything for me without the owner’s knowledge and unfortunately, she has just undergone a double lung transplant.

I can only pray that it was Mama, but if it was another animal, I can’t help it. Nature is cruel and sometimes the only thing one can do is accept it.

scott467

I was thinking more along the lines of calling the fire department (or animal control, who would probably end up calling the Fire Dept. anyway) to report that you heard the sound of a kitten crying for help inside the building.

When animals are trapped, most people want to help, even the local news might get involved for a feel-good story 👍

They might not even ask, but even if they did ask if you had been in the building, I doubt anyone would be upset that you were trying to help the kitten.

Just a thought!

litenmaus

:0) “Isolated”…..I have to drive 60 miles to pick up a gallon of milk Scott. The closest animal control is 250 miles distant. Local news pulled out 10 years ago. There are approximately 50 of us that rely on a volunteer fire service and the last thing they want to deal with is a cat. :0) Not disparaging the volunteers, just a fact of rural living.

Thank you, I do appreciate your options and possible opportunities. Your kindness is appreciated.

Our feral kitten has adopted us. He is a black tom and so far he is on good terms with his feral, black tom, father…. So far.

His mom hisses at him.

Hubby can now pat him. Unfortunately he really, really wants to follow me into the house.

litenmaus

Let him in Gail. Feral Toms that decide they want to be house cats are the most loving cats one could ever want…good luck with him :0)

Where’s the diversity among the lawless, criminal invaders?

Where’s the equity?

Are they racists?

Don’t they like women or children?

PROPHETIC WORD:

JGM – THE SILENCERS ARE ABOUT TO BE SILENCED 

– [9 September 2024] [Word heard – September 4, 2024] 

For I the Lord this day am telling you My children, the silencers are about to be silenced in a massive way. They have done everything they can to stop you from telling the truth or showing the truth. They have chained you in their prisons of disinformation and deception. They’re trying to hold you there in their captivity. But just wait when you see how I silence your enemies. How I stop them in their tracks and destroy their power. They no longer will be able to use their tech giants and social media companies to determine what can be put out on the airwaves. No. It’s not theirs to control but it’s Mine says the Lord. 

There will be much truth pouring out over the airwaves with no way for them to stop it. I am bringing the biggest social media giants down as if they are nothing. The ones who’ve been controlling the narrative will be driven out of their seats of control. 

A great silence is coming for the ones who have silenced you. The world will become very quiet worldwide that is to cut off their power so it can be given back to you. So as these things take place with outages, just know it’s your enemies that will remain silent and not you. Your enemies will not outlast the silence because these are the days of Haman. 

My children, get out of those prison cells and shout My words as loud as you can that will destroy those chains that they have tried to keep you in. These are the days of My vengeance and it’s about to be seen. The rattling, the shaking, the unprecedented, the unconventional, the unusual will intensify. You’re going to see these things you have never seen. 

You are going to hear things you have never heard. There’ll be things that will be hard to comprehend. You may be asking yourselves, is this really happening? It will be like a dream for you but a nightmare for the ones against you.

@StephenM
First off, I’m just an aide who’s had the honor of working for America’s greatest president and witnessing his unparalleled vision and unrivaled leadership.

As to your question, growing GDP via mass third world migration makes everyone in America poorer (except those who profit from cheap labor) — per-capita GDP plummets.

It is a vast wealth transfer from US workers to foreign workers and the companies who employ them (and to migrants on welfare and public support).

If America annexed Haiti tomorrow it would increase our GDP by increasing our population — but would make the average American poorer and the average wage smaller.

And mass low-wage migration cruelly depletes the resources and safety net upon which American families, children and seniors alike rely.

It is the most regressive economic policy.

Mass migration is a grave moral betrayal of the social contract that binds all citizens to each other and binds the government to its citizens.

This is to say nothing of the catastrophic results for public safety and human lives. Harris’ illegals have committed unfathomably depraved acts of rape, mutilation, torture and murder.

How many more Americans must suffer and die in the name of cheap foreign labor and the Democrats’ quest for political power?

The Harris plan to grow the GDP is clearly to resettle the third world in all 50 states. The Trump plan is to shut the deport, deport the illegals, and make America into the economic and manufacturing powerhouse of the world.

I’ll let Americans judge which plan they prefer for their families, neighbors and communities.

Lastly, as to tariffs. Of course foreign countries are the ones who pay the tariffs — which is why foreign heads of state try so mightily to prevent tariffs from being applied when they cheat. The simplest example here is when a country dumps subsidized goods (say steel) in our market. A tariff on that country either a.) causes them to abandon product dumping and abide by the rules b.) further subsidize its own industry and great cost to the government — either way, the US taxpayer collects the revenue from the tariff.

Again, protective tariffs built America. Low taxes on domestic industry + tariffs on foreign industry = American manufacturing renaissance. We sustain ourselves and supply the world.

Almighty God, we give you thanks for surrounding us, as daylight fades, with the brightness of the vesper light; and we implore you of your great mercy that, as you enfold us with the radiance of this light, so you would shine into our hearts the brightness of your Holy Spirit; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Grant us, Lord, the lamp of charity which never fails, that it may burn in us and shed its light on those around us, and that by its brightness we may have a vision of that holy City, where dwells the true and never-failing Light, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

O Lord God Almighty, as you have taught us to call the evening, the morning, and the noonday one day; and have made the sun to know its going down: Dispel the darkness of our hearts, that by your brightness we may know you to be the true God and eternal light, living and reigning for ever and ever. Amen.

Seek him who made the Pleiades and Orion, and turns deep darkness into the morning, and darkens the day into night; who calls for the waters of the sea and pours them out upon the surface of the earth: The Lord is his name. Amen.

Fake News Backtracks On [KH] Fake Polls,Did Trump Signal To The Patriots To Activate? – Ep. 3446
 September 9, 2024  x22report

https://x22report.com/fake-news-backtracks-on-kh-fake-pollsdid-trump-signal-to-the-patriots-to-activate-ep-3446/

The people of Canada are suffering. The illegals are getting everything and the people are left out, this is happening WW. Stores closing down, economic imploding. The people are tapped out. Trump says he will place 100% tariffs on those countries not using the currency of the US. The [DS] is now backtracking on the poll numbers for [KH]. The polls are fake and the people know it. Pelosi projects that Trump will back out of the debate. Is she projecting, will [KH] report she has covid, another virus or be in an accident? The [DS] is prepared to shut down the government instead of passing the Save Act. Trump knows there is cheating, he just called on the RNC to activate. Did he just send a message to the patriots?

Is Nanzi Pee-lousy subject to this?

Faithless servant clawback[edit]
Under the faithless servant doctrine, an employee who commits a crime in his work or fails to follow the company code of conduct or code of ethics is subject to having all of his compensation clawed back by the employer. In Morgan Stanley v. Skowron, 989 F. Supp. 2d 356 (S.D.N.Y. 2013), applying New York’s faithless servant doctrine, the court held that a hedge fund’s portfolio manager engaging in insider trading in violation of his company’s code of conduct, which also required him to report his misconduct, must repay his employer the full $31 million his employer paid him as compensation during his period of faithlessness.[11][12][13][14] The court called the insider trading the “ultimate abuse of a portfolio manager’s position.”[12] The judge also wrote: “In addition to exposing Morgan Stanley to government investigations and direct financial losses, Skowron’s behavior damaged the firm’s reputation, a valuable corporate asset.”[12]

Alright, tomorrow is in the can. I can’t vouch for the commentary as the Couch Commando was yammering at me and playing noise. He calls it music, but it’s really electronic noise. Anyway, I need to catch up now.

Van Halen, Metallica, name it. My head was hurting, and I regularly stand in front of organ pipes.

Heh…..and here, I’m going to a concert of King Crimson songs Thursday night…..

Typically, the organ pipes you can see do not actually produce sound. The sound is produced in dedicated rooms full of pipes with shutters to modulate the sound that gets to the audience.

Deplorable Patriot

Yeah…nowa days it’s more digital than not. The power goes out during Mass and we use the piano if there is one. (There’s not supposed to be, but most churches have them.) And the organ pipes we do see are still tuned. I know this from personal experience.
