On this day and every day –
God is in Control
. . . and His Grace is Sufficient, so . . .
Keep Looking Up
Hopefully, every Sunday, we can find something here that will build us up a little . . . give us a smile . . . and add some joy or peace, very much needed in all our lives.
“This day is holy to the Lord your God;
do not mourn nor weep.” . . .
“Go your way, eat the fat, drink the sweet,
and send portions to those for whom nothing is prepared;
for this day is holy to our Lord.
Do not sorrow,
for the joy of the Lord is your strength.”
Ask, Seek, Knock
Matthew 7 is part of what is commonly called the Sermon on the Mount. It’s a description of the truly righteous life, an outlining of “the law of Christ” (1 Corinthians 9:21, ESV). When Jesus says, “Ask and it will be given to you,” prayer is in view (Matthew 7:7a). Prayer is how we communicate our needs and desires to God. Of course, God, being omniscient, knows what Christians need whether they ask or not, but prayer is the means God has chosen to bring about those answers (James 4:2b).
Jesus is not saying that believers always get what they ask for—wrong motives, for example, will hinder answers to prayer (James 4:3). However, the more time a Christian spends in communion with God, the more he or she will know what to ask for in accordance with God’s will. Prayer, in and of itself, does not produce an increasing holiness in a believer’s life, but it does show a dependence on God for needs that can be met by Him. God is always pleased with such displays of faith. It is only faith in what God can do, and what Christ has done, that brings about true sanctification, not an artificial self-righteousness (Hebrews 11:6).
Jesus went on to say, “Seek, and you will find” (Matthew 7:7b). What is it believers ought to be seeking? It is God Himself! “You have said, ‘Seek my face.’ My heart says to you, ‘Your face, Lord, do I seek’” (Psalm 27:8). “The young lions suffer want and hunger; but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing” (Psalm 34:10). “Seek the Lord and his strength; seek his presence continually!” (Psalm 105:4). “Blessed are those who keep his testimonies, who seek him with their whole heart” (Psalm 119:2). God is not hiding from His children. His heart’s desire is for us to persistently and passionately look for Him all around us, and when we do, He promises He will be found (Proverbs 8:17). Seeking is a matter of paying attention with an engaged mind and acute awareness.
Earlier in the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus said to “seek first his kingdom and his righteousness” (Matthew 6:33). Seeking God’s kingdom means putting God’s plan before our own; seeking God’s righteousness means setting a priority on personal holiness and desiring to be sanctified.
Jesus then said, “Knock and the door will be opened to you” (Matthew 7:7c). Here, the Lord uses a metaphor for the action a desire produces. If a person needs something from someone behind a door, the most natural thing to do is knock—until the door is opened and the desire is met. In the same way, a believer should pray in faith for God’s provision and be persistent in prayer (see Luke 18:1).
Ask, seek, knock. Notice the three different senses being considered here. Asking is verbal; Christians are to use their mouths and petition God for their needs and desires. And believers are to seek with their minds—this is more than asking; it is a setting of priorities and a focusing of the heart. To knock involves physical movement, one in which the Christian takes action. Although asking and seeking are of great importance, they would be incomplete without knocking. The apostle John said Christians ought not to love in word alone but with actions also (1 John 3:18). In the same way, it’s good to pray and seek God, but if one does not also act in ways that are pleasing to God, all is for naught. It’s no accident that Jesus said believers should love God with all their heart, soul, strength, and mind (Luke 10:27).
The commands are followed by promises: “Everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened” (Matthew 7:8). God delights in the prayer of faith, and He promises to give us what we need.
Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above,
coming down from the Father of lights,
with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow.
James 1:17

Amen! A gift that appears to those who want it.
YES BABY!!!
Finally teach politicians that they don’t control time itself
^^ Please get it done finally. ^^
Most people, when asked, want to make DST permanent….not to go back to standard time year round.
This makes me want to gag, honestly, because DST is fake. And they will only complain about waking up in the pitch dark during the winter, but they don’t realize that.
It seems that most people are lacking the Logic Gene 😉
100% Standard time
If people want to shift their schedules use their calendar tool not my clocks
I want my transit scope to work every time
Then, again,
Strange I’ve never thought of it that way before
How time flies 😂
I’d rather standard due to sunlight affecting me in various ways. In fact, I’m seriously considering relocating south of here when I can.
Somebody revoke her License to Cackle.
Apparently anyone from any state can sign up to cure ballots for Arizona.
🚨 Out of state people can call and text people to inform them that their votes haven’t counted and they can cure them by phone or internet. We have until 5pm Sunday to cure these votes. Even from out of state you can help and make this Too Big To Rig!
🚨 All hands on deck. And you don’t need for them to email you to get started. Download the TPAction app on your phone. Click the left side of screen that shows <<< after you sign up with your email and phone number and you can call, text or if you live in Arizona you can actually go to their homes to get them to cure their ballots. It only provides Republicans if you use the white buttons that say the county – curing or just the county name, so you don’t need to worry about wasting time helping Democrats.”

I don’t understand anything. It looks as if voters who made mistakes are getting a second chance through “curing”?
The RNC says they have lawyers in AZ and in other states. James O’Keefe says his people are watching. I’m under the impression that Kari Lake has her own lawyers (though I’m not sure).
So why does it seem as if elections are being stalled and stolen again, and we are hearing nothing except that “lawyers are present”?
“I don’t understand anything.”
___________
I frequently have the same thought 😂
Is the Trump team trying to expose some sort of RICO effort by Harmeet Dhillon and henchmen?
I don’t know… I don’t understand anything anymore… 😂
Yes, everything keeps getting turned inside and out I don’t think even our vaulted Rex can keep track of it all. I’d think we are on to Volume XII heading to XXIV of this modern epic that will easily rival both the Ramayana and Mahabharata combined in size, scope and importance to world affairs. We are going to need a sage the caliber of Vyasa to tell it and that person would have to speak English and have a command of the whole kit and kaboodle as this story is clearly Trumpian. Say, what’s that girl Brett, that we posted about yesterday doing besides just podcasts? 😉
That young gal, Brett, IS impressive.
To think she grew up in LA/Hollywood.
Incredibly logical, aware, smart, organized, great speaker, clear stream of thought, speaks quickly, clearly, clean cut, All American…
Someone pondered if she was home schooled.
Need more like her.
I have to suggest one simple thing;
Kari Lake is really losing.
Lawyers can watch, but if it’s real, what can they do?
since her opponent is the son of a cartel boss (?) i would suspect there are many illegals voting or many too scared to vote for anyone else.
Highly likely.
100%.
Actual illegal votes can do it every time.
Yeah, of course. Arizona’s whole system needs top to bottom overhaul.
I suppose it’s possible, but this is happening with House races in other states too.
I think it’s a case-by-case issue. Every state has its own problems that desperately need addressing.
Lawyers can file lawsuits. I would think they could file suits to immediately stop illegal activity. Maybe they haven’t seen any.
Gotta wonder, hence my original question. What other explanation is there for their inaction?
I can see new labels on packaging now.
“RFK APPROVED”
Now we are getting silly.
Funny how this tweet will post… 🤔
Did tweet posting get fixed or is this just weird?
WGTTs will do it every time.
didn’t see any of those just a bunch of bat-crap crazy killer cat “ladies” 
That’s because you’re not a guy. 😆
yup 😉
From the tweet:
“Aqua Tofana was a powerful poison in 17th-century Sicily, sold by women to other women seeking to escape abusive relationships by discreetly poisoning their husbands.
First, Karens on TikTok and Instagram kicked off the 4B movement, refusing to marry, have children, date, or have relationships with men.
They started wearing blue bracelets and getting blue heart tattoos to recognize each other in public as Harris voters, and this soon evolved into the MATGA movement. WTAF?!! The first video got over 1.3 million LIKES!!”
.
.
Just imagine how this would be going over, if it was men suggesting anything like this toward the wymyns.
It’s murder. They might as well say “Just shoot your husband to solve your problems.” I can’t believe what I’m seeing.
AWFULs are AWFUL.
I’ve seen that exchange attributed to some bint, and Winston Churchill.
It was good old Winston.
When I see those videos of people screaming and tearing their clothes and cutting their hair, I turn them off because they seem demonic to me. This strikes me in the same way. They are promoting murder. Every one of those people needs to be questioned.
Demonized – I think you’re on to something

They want to kill their husbands if they voted for Trump?
Or are they saying they want to kill ANYONE who voted for Trump?
Creating a movement in which women are encouraging other women to kill those who vote for a different candidate than you l, further illustrates
significant mental illness among liberal women.
Are they the TRUE threat to democracy?

Ok, so this actually terrifying. I used to be a witch and ran in these circles. I learned all about this and how to use herbs for various nefarious things, including abortion “potions.” Yes, there are some dumb bitches who think their pretty rocks and tarot cards make them all spiritual. There are plenty that dive deep into some dark shit. Thankfully I left before I was sucked in further. It’s also not hard to gain access to these herbs.

“Please consider sharing this open letter to President Trump in all of its forms: social media, website, Substack, etc. Thank you.”
AN OPEN LETTER TO PRESIDENT TRUMP / A CALL TO ACTION ON COVID-19
@realDonaldTrump
Dear President Trump,
Congratulations to you and all of America on a resounding historical victory and the opportunity to remake the Republic in accordance with the blueprints provided by the Founding Fathers.
On behalf of millions of Americans, I implore you to make the victims of the COVID-19 “pandemic” an immediate priority for your incoming administration.
What makes these Americans victims is the nature of COVID-19 not as a “pandemic,” but as a construct of enterprise fraud prosecutable under RICO statute.
Since 31 Dec 19, the analysis and investigation into COVID RICO crimes has consumed an inordinate but necessary portion of my entire life and it cost me everything – literally.
The team for which I work has been in federal court litigating the COVID RICO crimes for several years now and to no avail; however, the fight goes on as we prepare to soon refile in another circuit.
Additionally, I have my own federal litigation against my employer knowing that I was an Oregon public school administrator and teacher subject to then Governor Kate Brown’s mask and mRNA injection mandates; and where I refused to comply with both.
Moreover, my personal circumstances relative to my COVID analysis are a part of an ongoing US Supreme Court case in the form of an amicus curiae brief filing.
From the very beginning and quite literally standing alone at that time, I’ve been fighting to expose the COVID RICO crimes including directly approaching two school principals, the human resources director, the superintendent, the school district’s law firm on retainer, the county sheriff, local GOP leadership, superintendents in other school districts, the governor, peoples’ rights groups, various House and Senate members, a former Trump White House advisor [personal friend], former Trump Administration White House Counsel [through a direct personal back-channel], governors and officials in a number of states, mainstream and independent media, and others.
It has mostly fallen on deaf ears and blind eyes but now your second opportunity in the Executive provides a second opportunity to act accordingly and begin to right the wrong of COVID; beginning with its victims.
My circumstances motivated me to take personal action on COVID and that landed me on my team sponsored by two Oregon State Senators, led by a doctor and supported by a wide array of highly skilled and capable attorneys, judges and other professionals.
In my own case, we are scheduled for opening arguments in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals on 05 Dec 24 where I seek compensation for COVID damages caused by my employer’s enforcement of arbitrary and capricious COVID mandates issued by the State of Oregon.
My circumstances are devastating but not as devastating as those who have faced or will face injury, illness or death because of coercion, manipulation or mandate.
The governor’s mandates bore down directly upon me when the district returned to on-campus operations and applied State mask and mRNA injection mandates as a new function of existing employment.
By this time and on my own accord as a former fraud investigator, I had already written and made available to the list of individuals and entities above a 331-page forensic report on COVID-19 as a construct of enterprise fraud prosecutable under RICO statue; including 252 evidentiary exhibits.
In conjunction with local GOP leadership, every week for months on end I would present that report and its exhibits weekly to small groups of local Americans seeking the truth about the distinction between what was happening to them v. what was being done to them.
Beyond those folks, no one would listen but it didn’t matter because there was no chance I would ever comply with such a blatantly political construct of enterprise fraud and I could prove it to the legal threshold required in a court of law.
That decision had disastrous consequences.
Before it acted, the district required me to execute a form with respect to the action it would take and therein, I placed the district on written notice relative to the enterprise fraud of COVID-19 as it intersected with my employment.
In February 2021, the district’s actions placed me on unpaid leave and remarkably, that is where I remain to this day encroaching on four years later and despite being forced to leave the state in January 2022.
The district cited my noncompliance with State mandates as the reason for my placement on unpaid leave and then it began ramming me through the disciplinary process in relentlessly going after my teaching license, ergo my livelihood; right up until I retained counsel and filed suit.
At the same time, the State of Oregon and then governor Kate Brown issued COVID unemployment rules that specifically denied benefits to anyone who was noncompliant with the State’s COVID mandates.
Citing fraudulently predicated data, Governor Brown issued arbitrary and capricious COVID mask and mRNA injection mandates that failed the test of common sense given that in a supposed “pandemic,” the mandates only applied to healthcare workers and educators as if the SARS-CoV-2 virus could discriminate by the occupation of its hosts.
Not by accident, healthcare and education represent the largest combined sector of employers in America and by a wide margin.
Moreover, the arbitrary and capricious mask mandate flew in the face of decades of conventional and widely accepted medical evidence indicating that masking is an ineffective barrier protection against viruses.
In aggravating form, the State then egregiously contradicted itself by issuing conflicting mask guidance on mitigating seasonal wildfire smoke.
According to a robust aggregate fact set, it was clear that the State’s COVID mitigation policies were a thoughtfully and deliberately premeditated construct of legal coercion that was assembled to deliver functional bankruptcy onto those to whom it applied – the largest combined sector of employment of healthcare and education workers.
This aggregate fact sets clearly evidences federal crimes that are included in a substantial list of other COVID federal and RICO crimes.
This broader criminality cost me everything and in my case, the purveyors wittingly committed it because I directly confronted them in writing with the forensic evidence, which they refused to receive, of course.
The product of the State’s mandates and the district’s enforcement of them resulted in me not receiving any form of pay since February 2021 and it functionally bankrupted me as designed.
I expired all of my $31,000 of cash life savings trying to hold onto everything it took me 50 years to modestly assemble in a scenario where my path to retirement was set and I was living in the dream home in which I intended to retire.
In the end, I would lose my job, career, reputation, home, cash life savings, truck, healthcare, benefits, full retirement and more.
After a year of waiting-out the insanity of COVID, I was down to my last $1,000 with no remaining options but to sell my home in order to capture the equity in it to continue providing for myself in a state where employment was the same impossibility as receiving unemployment benefits.
This necessitated moving but I had no where to go.
Therefore, I did the only thing that made sense – I went looking for a new hometown where an American could live the way an American is supposed to live.
I placed all of my personal possessions into storage, rid myself of my truck, bought a van, moved into that van and then lived in it for 14 months as a homeless individual.
In the first three months alone I drove over 30,000 miles through 27 states going as far south as Mississippi and South Padre Island, Texas and as far east as the Tennessee-North Carolina border; all to find a new hometown.
My travels even took me to the Midwestern home of one of your former Oval Office Advisors.
Several box stores permit overnight camping in their lots and I spent a copious amount of time doing just that.
Through personal experience, I can attest that the COVID era of Third World homelessness entailing Americans living in squalor inside overpacked vehicles and RVs on the lots of big box stores was somber, sobering and difficult to fathom for this nation.
I spent most of my time in God’s country – Montana, Idaho and Wyoming – before settling down in a small southwestern Montana town that’s good for my soul and fits like a comfortable pair of broken-in boots.
The slithering tentacles of COVID still firmly maintain their grip on me with continued destructive effects, though.
The van was swapped out for a house in March 2023 but the only home I could afford was one built in 1927 and it required total restoration and renovation.
The only way to afford that work was to do it myself and since that time, I have lived in a construction project doing that work full time for no pay.
My living and working circumstances combined with my federal lawsuit against my employer and my activity in other litigation have made me tainted goods to prospective employers and lenders; with the net effect of closing off any meaningful pathways to opportunity.
It has become nearly impossible for me to gain new employment matching my qualifications and experience in the area where I now live.
It is also detrimental when you’re ripped away from your employment at the top of the pay scale and college graduates for such positions are substantially less expensive and a dime a dozen.
Having managed to hold on to a fraction of the equity from the forced sale of my home and to the extent that I could scrape-up a 10% down payment, I have most recently explored going back into debt as a borrower to become a small business owner.
I can’t even do that.
Due to my circumstances, I do not qualify for a conventional business loan.
Moreover and even more aggravating; and despite having been a homeowner since 1996 who maintains zero debt and liabilities of any kind and who has an impeccable credit score and credit history, I can’t even qualify for an unconventional business loan.
Tainted goods, indeed.
This is far, far away from the storied land of opportunity and more accurately, it’s a rigged system and I know you can relate, Sir.
It’s time to enact significant change for the betterment of all and rig that system FOR Americans; not AGAINST them.
COVID-19 decimated and eviscerated everything it took me 50 years to modestly assemble at the same time it prevents me from recovering; much less advancing.
The fraudulent “pandemic” is over but its detrimental effects that eliminated untold lives and incalculable generational wealth remains in a seemingly imperceptible but steadfast undercurrent of unmitigated devastation and destruction for millions.
Without intervention by the hands of good men and women, those millions of Americans will never recover what was stolen from them under the guise of a construct of enterprise fraud dressed-up like a pig in lipstick and called a “pandemic.”
I wasn’t a wealthy man to begin with, but COVID took everything I had, stuffed me into a van for 14 months and said ‘go pound sand.’
I started working when I was 15 years old and have paid into the system ever since as a self-reliant, self-dependent and independent individual.
The one and only time I ever had to rely on the system that I have paid into for my entire working life, the system stole everything I had and told me to go to hell.
My story is just one account of one victim of COVID-19 and in representing all victims of COVID-19, it alone is sufficient enough to make this a priority for the incoming Trump Administration.
Millions of Americans offer a similar or worse COVID account and it is past time to redress the crimes of COVID and present these victims with a remedy to make them whole again.
Today, my employer doesn’t require anyone to wear a mask or receive an mRNA injection as a function of their employment because it’s no longer politically valuable.
Today, I wonder when it is that I will get back my reputation, my career, my livelihood and everything it took me 50 years to modestly assemble so I can climb myself out of this chasm where little is left and most importantly, few opportunities lie ahead?
On behalf of all victims of COVID crimes, please make this matter an immediate priority for your incoming administration.
God bless you, Sir.
God bless all Americans and this Republic.
Respectfully yours,
A Single American COVID Victim

I hope Kennedy sees this letter.
saw an X post the other day…Kennedy said something like…
Anybody seen Fauci lately ? I’m looking for him.
That X was debunked. Though I wish it to be true. Likely is, just RFK Jr won’t say it out loud, yet.
did Kennedy “debunk” it ? do you have a link for that, I’d like to see it…looked legit to me.
Perhaps it’s legit. Not going back to whatever it was, I read. Rather sure it was not RFK Jr himself.
Looks legit.
Not being combative, trying to be an ass, although commonly I am. But, link please that looks legit.
I do wish it to be true.
Let’s see if I got this straight.
This guy/gal is in fed court litigating this matter. Yet does not sign his/her name. But wants help from POTUS-elect [who has his own legal woes].
I’m pretty sure it’s safe to say that political moonshine is click-baiting.
scott, why on earth would you post that in its entirety when it has ZERO attribution?
We used to follow Political Moonshine’s research here regularly, he did a ton of work on the Covid fraud in the early going.
He did very good work on Covid. So yes I think he is legit.
This is his website: https://politicalmoonshine.com/
Agreed
A video on the PM media page says Keith Wilkins is the name of PM.
Given what this man has apparently gone through I can understand why he doesn’t noise his own name abroad very much. Hopefully the actual letter, if sent to President Trump, includes KW’s real name & contact info.

“The article [cut n pasted here in its entirety] does not indicate anywhere that it is written by political moonshine or anybody associated with the website.”
____________
It’s the first line: “From Political Moonshine:”
I thought from the body of the text it would be self evident that it was written by PM, both from the writing style and because of the hardships he mentions, which he has talked about many times before, though not all together in one letter like this.
I was going to post this above but will place it here.
Throwing cold water: It’s too long, it’s too rambling, and it needs serious editing. If it reaches someone who is already on the same page and is already on board with helping COVID victims, then it would provide them with some information. Otherwise, IMO it’s not going to capture and hold the attention of any busy executive and convince them to take action.
“Throwing cold water: It’s too long, it’s too rambling, and it needs serious editing.”

That’s his writing style. :shrug emoji:
That he assembled the voluminous info archived at Political Moonshine while going through all of this personally is profoundly moving. This man is an American Hero!
Woman with Alopecia SLAMS retarded Karens who shaved their heads following Trump’s win. stating that the trend is insensitive to women who have lost their hair due to cancer or other health issues.
Good for her!

the right tweet will show up on a refresh but see’s although it was from the same guy below this one won’t expand unlike the other one that did. I guess some messages are allowed through and others are not?
I’m not seeing any consistency yet, but my prediction is that more and more tweets will embed and expand as the number of visits to X drops after the election.
Didn’t someone get slapped at the Oscars recently for being insufficiently respectful of alopecia?
Who watches the Oscars.
Well, other than that Ricky Gervais video.
great stuff!
There is a long history (millennia) of mentally disturbed women cutting off their hair. It is a weird mental flex, but it is fairly common. Bizarre.
Kinda like the Butch haircut look at me thing?
ThanQ for your attention to detail.
Honestly, I think it is akin to the “cutting” phenomenon. Disturbing.
that’s a good point
Sad.
We can get help for the mentally ill
time to reopen the mental hospitals & get most of the homeless off the streets–Call it Boarding School for lefty teachers & students!
MMHGA Make Mental Hospitals Great Again 😂
AMEN to that.
I am old enough to remember when there were no homeless, or at least they were few and far between.
Surely the vast majority of these unfortunate souls are mentally ill AND/or chemically dependent 🙁
From what I remember they were. But I will also add in too ill to work.
all very sad
Stop calling Gail “Shirley”
What do you make of this?
OK my memory’s not perfect, shock!
I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue…..
I have a drinking problem 😉
But do you like movies about gladiators?
I do 🙂
And we should.
That I didn’t know. I just thought it was the stupidest thing I had seen in a long time, and I can understand how women with cancer and alopecia are very hurt by this. I know women who have suffered and still do suffer from both. Losing hair, even if it is for a short duration in the case of cancer survivors, is still traumatizing. Even having my locks cut short the summer I turned nine was traumatizing. Once I could grow it back out, it’s been long, and no bangs since 1986.
1 Corinthians 11:15
But if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her; for her hair is given to her for a covering.
A woman’s hair is a gift from our Creator. It’s sad when illness causes us to lose it. It is also sad when a mental disturbance does the same.
I was just going to post that 👍
………………..
“Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered? [14] Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him? [15] But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering.” (1 Corinthians 11:13-15, KJV)
………………..
This is why I always wonder about the ‘traditional’ (probably medieval times) paintings of Jesus portray Him with long hair.
Satan’s trademark?
I don’t know, I don’t understand anything anymore.
That’s my new go-to 😆
If I recall my history correctly, shaving a woman’s hair at the end of WWII was a sign that that woman had collaborated with the Germans. It was a reaction from the French and Italians to shame those women. As with many things that were considered acts of shame in the 20th century, they are now considered acts of virtuous protest.
I do not agree with your closing clause. The lunatic left are trying to achieve that but its acceptance as such is a long way off. IMO.
you are correct. In truth, only a certain subset of people would consider it virtuous. A great many others will (probably rightly) consider it a childish tantrum.
It comes across to me as yet another example of performance play acting. Look at me! My feelz need to be expressed bigger than words.
Whether it’s wearing bloody clothing to show men can menstruate or to somehow relate to clothes hanger abortion or Pelosi and others wearing a tribal shawl ( i forgot what that was about) or the FIB kneeling or a hundred other dumb things….Look at us
I don’t care what they do but I can understand why cancer treatment women feel put off by it,
IMO this comes across as whining. No one is thinking about alopecia or cancer sufferers, and they shouldn’t have to. People are shaving their heads as part of a fad that will fade quickly.
Are those who go on hunger strikes insensitive to people suffering from anorexia? I feel for those with alopecia, but IMO this complaint Is just silly.
You are ignoring the difference between male baldness and female baldness. Women have far more of their self-image invested in their hair than men do. It is socially acceptable for men to lose their hair; that is not so for women.
It comes across as whining to you because you are male.
It comes across as whining to me because it is whining. It is part of the trend that if something upsets you, you make a video and post it on the internet. IMO it’s no different than crying on the internet because your candidate lost.
So that makes it okay for them to rage about the free speech choices of others?
This discussion is failing.
I think females who don’t have a choice about their hair loss are overly sensitive about it. Whether they express themselves in an acceptable way or not is not the issue for me.
My issue is loonies who shave their heads as a protest AND are loud about it.
No matter what else, do you want bald obnoxious females or blue and purple haired obnoxious females?
I thought TT was female LOL my bad 😂
I did too
no offense
yeah, not that it matters either way 😉
Well, it could be.
I just assumed due to the male POV that TT expressed.
I’m not trying to be a smart A here, is the “male POV” because TT was chastising irrational leftist females or over-emotionality in general? For myself & a few other females here might have pretty similar views on that topic, regardless of our sex 😉
The whole thing is “victim olympics” – standard insanity on the left.
That’s how it strikes me. I don’t know what the political leanings of the people complaining about this issue are. I suspect they are probably mixed. But “victim olympics” describes it perfectly. I hate to see anyone on the Right fall into the practice of posting victim videos.
Closely tied to “oppression olympics” of the intersectionality delusion
Exactly!
This is fun.

And you have a right to be furious if you want to waste time and emotion on that. People also have a right to shave their heads if they want to. That it makes you uncomfortable or brings up bad memories or highlights your own misfortune is regrettable, but that’s life. People have to deal with all kinds of conditions that are difficult, embarrassing, isolating, maddening, etc., but those people don’t have a right to impose restrictions on someone else. I guess the next best thing is to whine about it on the internet.
I am appalled that you lack any empathy in this area. Your comments seem excessively harsh from my POV. Your point could be made without disregarding the feelings of female baldness victims IMO.
I am not disregarding their feelings. I’m sorry for their suffering and have empathy for what they’re going through, including when they see others shave their heads.
That said, to continue my bluntness, I don’t need to hear about it. I don’t need to see these angst-filled videos on the internet. I’ve had my fill of them from leftists who can’t control their emotions.
These kinds of unfortunate occurrences and misfortunes happen all day, every day, in life. We could find a multitude of disparate groups of people who are suffering and whose suffering is perhaps highlighted by the actions of others. It’s part of life.
What is the purpose of these videos? What do they accomplish, and what is their goal?
Again, I’m with you. It’s almost like these are CIA videos seeding victim olympics on the right.
No fucking way.
I feel like making a video chiding these head-shavers for stupidity, but at the same time, I know they’re stealing a page from Joan of Arc and many other women in history, who cut or shaved their hair, so I just say nothing and let them be stupid, because head-shaving does not automatically confer virtue. Virtuous women MAY shave their heads. Whatever.
These AWFULs are not virtuous. Especially the poisoning witches.
Sinead O’Connor….
She’s under the lawn so …
Well, you won’t hear about it. The world has not dumped on you, you do not have cancer and no one will confuse you with a Harris supporter so you good.
I’m talking about a broader principle. Everyone either has something very difficult they have to deal with, or they have a close family member or they know someone who is affected by something. The normal practice is to commiserate with family and friends, talk to a clergyman, or get counseling. I disagree with victim-signaling on the internet, especially when it appears to blame others who were not specifically targeting you.
Agree. It seems like these people are unable to vocalize rationally why their preferred candidate lost and actually need to be able to look in their mirror 24/7 to reaffirm their anxiety..over and over.
To clarify, I’m not saying you shouldn’t post about it. I’m addressing the concept of people making these videos about those who were not even targeting them.
I’m 100% behind you on this. People have the right to be offended. And that’s it. So I will quote Matt Gaetz to them. “Be offended.”
No victim olympics in MAGA for me. NONE. Wounded vets deserve respect, but free speech goes to both the assholes who attack them, and those who defend them by mercilessly attacking the attackers.
Free speech sorts out the truth.
I agree.

It’s completely a female thing. When you think about how much time most women spend on hair, and in a hairdresser’s chair, let alone the expense, and work it takes to maintain healthy hair, we ladies get it. I don’t blame the alopecia victims for being offended and expressing that at all.
ThanQ.
I certainly agree.
Mom lost her hair to Chemo. I had mine come out by the handful thanks to mononucleosis while in my 20s. It has never really recovered and I am stuck with very thin, very fine hair that barely grows.
However I just consider the shaved head brigade typical Marxist idiots.
I see where leftazoids are planning massive protests on Inauguration Day (which also happens to be a Monday holiday this year — MLK Day), and it got me thinking…..
Wouldn’t it be hilarious if IT, security, and locksmiths leapt into action at 12:01 and changed the landscape in Washington, D. C. while everyone was out partying and/or protesting (or just on holiday)?
What if everyone came back to their offices on Tuesday, January 21, and 2/3 of their access badges (card keys), logins, office computers and phones, and door keys didn’t work? Instead, they could be greeted at the door of their former workplace with a personalized manila envelope telling them their path forward.
Very deliciously clever. Elon would love it.

Based on personal observations of just some of the area – yup. There was no FEMA presence or evidence on site. Some may ask how I would know. I helped in the Hurricane Katrina relief efforts. FEMA sucked then, but they were there in force organizing relief teams, providing mobile trailers for the homeless, contracting demo/clean-up efforts, etc.
FEMA need to be shuttered. Fed funds should be given to the affected states to administer is the way to do this. Nothing the federal government is involved in works well.
everything the federal gov’t does consists of layers–upon layers–of managers and directors–insulating the next layer from discovery or accountability.
IIRC, FEMA was also the thugs that went door-to-door confiscating firearms.
bakocarl: TY so much. I always get something from you, often an astonishing new understanding. Sometimes a subject is clarified even when I did not know I needed the clarification. And sometimes the clarification happens exactly when it is needed (for me, personally).
My faith is not contingent upon any particular gift God has given to me personally, but the value of the gift is contingent upon my accepting it with grateful understanding. God has given me many gifts, and He keeps on giving them to me. You are such a gift.
this deportation issue is what they’re gonna push hard, into a racial crisis so the Pentagon can step in and try to thwart PDJT’s deportation policy before he has a chance to actually implement any of it, and is a huge issue in Arizona, as well (hence the frantic cheating there)…they’re already politicizing this and mobilizing the radical activists to get out in front of this, cause mayhem, inspiring Antifa et al to also jump in, casting PDJT as some racist thug who wants to kill em all.
listen to the insufferable fiend Rachel Maddow (!)…she’s really vocal about this, encouraging violence & chaos.
here’s a link to Maddow…

they have no legitimate right to be here. the gov’t could track their phones (ala J6) and deport immediately those that protest.
if they don’t like our laws…they can go back home.
well…yeah…anyone with a brain knows that but they won’t see it that way…the Left needs them here, and not just for voting demographics…
they’re here also to turn on us when needed, like now.
and the corporate media is fanning those flames.
they are here to create a crisis.
they are just a drain on resources at this point. Adams turned off the free food cards…so the next month will be interesting
it’s subversion.
ending free food and stuff is intentional…
it’s a plot.
YUP! I said as much yesterday.
Maddow talks about “pirate energy.” If that keeps up, they are going to be showered with memes. 🏴☠️😂
seriously??
i thought she said IRATE energy–cuz the left is always pissed about sumthin’
Yo, ho, ho, and a bottle of rum. 😅

I understand people have different opinions on Lame Cherry. Nevertheless, IMO she is worth reading because she often has an unusual pov which is worth considering.

let’s hope not.
Possible Wiles was vaxx injured or close family member died suddenly?
Great position for justice.
It’s always important to know one’s opponent. No attorney ever won a case without knowing a helluva lot about the other side.

https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.0.3/svg/1f525.svg Ah, the battle for Arizona rages on, and Team Kari Lake isn’t backing down, not by an inch. Curing ballots, line by line, signature by signature—this isn’t a casual exercise. It’s an all-out campaign to make sure every last vote gets counted, to secure what the people of Arizona decided, loud and clear. You’ve got hundreds of staff, hundreds more volunteers, all grinding away to protect the integrity of this election, don’t you see?
https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.0.3/svg/1f4aa.svg This isn’t about just counting ballots; it’s about restoring faith in the process. After all the chaos we’ve seen in recent years, people want to know their voices actually mean something, that their vote won’t get lost in the bureaucracy or thrown out over a technicality. That’s what this army of volunteers represents—relentless dedication, refusing to let a single vote slip through the cracks.
https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.0.3/svg/1f1fa-1f1f8.svg So keep pushing, keep fighting. Arizona’s watching, and so is the nation. This isn’t just one election—it’s a statement. If we can’t trust the process, what else is there? 1

All I’ve seen is the goof in charge of counting ballots, essentially saying he’d make Kari’s life miserable. Or something alike.
Can;t say I’ve seen the promised video. Which has had me wondering.
It was prolly Thursday, I came to the conclusion, AZ WOULD be stolen. As would the House.
Wished then and now, to be totally out to lunch.
It is very alarming. I hope & pray that Kari wins & that “we” hold the House…
Nice to at least see the tweets showing here again. 🙂

Recount and reconcile every ballot needs to be funded by RNC. Kari and the AZ 8, if we lose it. Latter Ciscomani +2.7K votes, +0.7%, 87% vote counted.
Yes, that Must happen ASAP
OK Dems, you say you aren’t cheating: MAKE IT MAKE SENSE.
That’s not exactly their forte LOL
I have not been able to find an O’Keefe video. I don’t see one on his website. He has always come through before when he said he was going to do something. I speculate that legal issues might be silencing some of these people (IOW, they need to hold their ammo for now), but I don’t know.
That’s a pretty plausible theory. Deep State Darkness still swirls 🙁
Hold their ammo until its too damn late. SMH.
I am struck by how little, if anything OMG has put out since 5 November. Perhaps since early voting started.
Certainly in CA and AZ bad stuff is happening.

TY Carl for this teaching which my husband & I used as a devotional today, sparking a lively discussion. God Bless YOU for your faithful ministry to the Q & sister Trees!
People are not going to fall for the same old tricks this time around. They needed traditional values oriented citizens and families to be kind to the idgits, racists, commies and fascists the last time around. Since then the fake news industry has cratered and the people clearly stand in one camp or the other. Even enemies know that PDT is the boss and has withstood the attacks of lies, misrepresentation, disinfo and lawfare.
Riots and such can still happen in blue hellholes. They are only destroying their own. Let them. Then give them no fed funds to rebuild. It is tough love to the lesser numbered patriots who are living in them. How else are people going to learn to work to prevent the Commie Party’s Tampon Tims and Newscums from taking over states?
Fight, fight, fight or leave. No more going along to get along.

This scientist treated her own cancer with viruses she grew in the labVirologist Beata Halassy says self-treatment worked and was a positive experience — but researchers warn that it is not something others should try.
…researchers warn…
Nuff said.
Barbara O’Neill said on twitter today that a fruit called supersop is highly effective for cancer and other assorted ailments. I respect O’Neill a lot, and had never heard of this.
A web search supported her contention. Tellingly, even the “official” medical sites sort of supported her contention, and the worst they had to say was that scientific studies had not conclusively established some contentions.
I bought some supersop tea to try.
My own doctor and his office refuse to even consider any alternatives but prescription drugs.

EACH DAY WE TAKE UP THE OFFENSIVE WEAPON OF THE WORD OF GOD – THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT – ONE VERSE OPENS THE DOOR TO THE CONTEXT OF THE CHAPTER MESSAGE
Verse of the Day for Sunday, November 10, 2024
✟
“For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.”
Romans 6:14 (KJV)
Thank You, Jesus, for blessings received and prayers answered !!!
WE ARE FIGHTING A SPIRITUAL WAR OF GOOD VERSUS EVIL
PRAYING ON THE ARMOR OF GOD
Father God, I now follow your command to put on the full armor of God, because my battle is not against flesh and blood but against rulers, authorities, the powers of this dark world and against spiritual forces of evil in the unseen world.
I first pray on the Belt of Truth that it may be buckled around my waist, may I be centered and encircled by your truth dear Lord. Hem me inside all that is true and right, and may I be protected and held up by the truth of your living word, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Breastplate of righteousness, please protect my vital organs and my inner man, cover my integrity, my spirit, and my soul. Guard my heart for it is the wellspring of life, please strengthen and guard the most vulnerable places in my life with that which is right, good, and noble that I might not receive a fatal blow from the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Gospel Shoes of Peace. I choose to stand in the shoes of your good news, and on the firm foundation of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the solid eternal rock. All other ground is sinking sand, I pray that I will not slip or fall, but that my feet would be firmly fitted on your lordship, my Lord Jesus. I choose to stand on you, so that the peace of God, which transcends all understanding will guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus, the eternal Rock of Ages. I receive your holy peace now my Lord, from the sole of my feet to the crown of my head, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray the Shield of Faith into my hand now. As I take up the shield of faith, I ask that you might extinguish every dart and arrow that is launched from the enemy to take me down spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally, and every attempt of the enemy to destroy my joy. I ask that my faith in you would make it flame out. Extinguish every flaming arrow that would come against me, my life, my family, my home, or my ministry. May my faith always be out in front of me like a shield. Give me the courage to “faith my fears” by choosing to walk by faith and not by sight, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Helmet of Salvation, that you might protect my mind from the thoughts that can lead me astray. I choose to take every thought captive, and arrest all intentioned ideas and motives that would harm others, or distract me from your holy will for me. I submit every captured thought to the Lordship of my Lord Jesus Christ, and ask that you would imprison those thoughts that are not of you my Lord. Transform my mind and renew my thinking that I may think God thoughts, and have a sober mind that is focused on your glory. Please protect me from being double minded that I may allow my mind, I reject to live an earthly life, because I choose to live a holy one, governed by you My Lord Jesus, the prince of peace, please have my mind to be saturated with the holy mind of Christ, in my Lord Jesus name.
Finally, I take up the Sword of the Spirit which is the holy word of God, I pray this powerful offensive weapon into my hand, and ask that your holy word would be fitting for every encounter I face. As the enemy gets close to me, please give me the insight, wisdom, and skill to wield the word of God to drive away the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
May the enemy and his team flee from me, upon hearing the word of God spoken by the power and direction of the Holy Spirit. Give me the sword of the spirit to cut through the wiles of the devil, so that I may discern the schemes of the enemy when he is near.
With all kinds of prayers, supplication, and intercession I pray to you my Lord God as the one who fights my battles. Now that I’m in your holy powerful armor, I walk away covered and ready to face my day as you go before me, and please protect me in the midst of the spiritual warfare in this unseen world, in my Lord Jesus name.
Thank you my Lord, for the spiritual weapons of armor and prayer that you have given me. It is written no weapon formed against me shall prosper, and you will refute every tongue that accuses me.
Thank you Father God, my Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit, that I am more than a conqueror in my Lord Jesus. I pray all of this in the mighty name of my Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ, Amen.
PLEASE PRAY FOR ABUSED, MISSING, AND TRAFFICKED CHILDREN

JESUS LOVES THE LITTLE CHILDREN
CHILD NOT CHOICE
GOD MAKES NO MISTAKES
I love You, Lord – You are my strength;
My rock; my refuge – my wavelength;
Without You, Lord – I am nothing at all;
Without Your help – I am just a screwball!
You are my solace in perilous times;
You poke and prod me to create these rhymes;
What should I say – I ask – out of the blue;
I have to admit – I haven’t a clue!
I Love You, Lord – there is nothing you ask;
That I would not do or set to the task;
So many times You have asked me to see;
And take on a problem far beyond me!
A young boy I met – oh, so long ago;
The pain in his heart he could not forego;
I knew neither what troubled him nor his pain;
Or what he could lose or have never again!
I taught him the Bible – I tried my best;
He would not take part in this learning quest;
He would pummel me with spitballs at every turn;
And make the girls laugh until class would adjourn!
I scolded him – questioned him – to no avail;
Each week his antics just seemed to prevail;
So I gave him an assignment not easy or quick;
A problem – a paper – twas no gimmick!
One week had he to complete this sole task;
Precise – with references – just as I ask;
At the next class – he presented to all;
A magnificent paper – as I recall!
Can you imagine my unexpected delight?
As I listened to him speak – share his insight;
He was brilliant – he was wise – beyond his years;
My heart filled with joy – my eyes filled with tears!
After the class, I thanked him profusely;
Did not hold back my praise even loosely;
From that day on, he gave his all weekly;
No longer did I look at this class bleakly!
Then, one day he came to class with sadness;
Gone was his joy – gone was his gladness;
He asked – after class – could he talk with me;
Surely, I said – wondering what it could be!
He said he was sorry he could not be in class;
With me next year – it was impossible – alas!
His family was moving far away;
And that is not all he wanted to say!
I want to say what a great teacher you are;
How sorry I am I misbehaved and by far;
No one has ever cared about me like you;
See – I was a mistake – not much I could do!
Shocked and dismayed – what could I say;
I asked why he thought of himself that way;
He told me he heard his parents say;
He was a ‘mistake’ they had made one day!
Oh, no – said I – that is not what they meant;
A child late in life was their only lament;
The reason I know this and listen – please do;
The mistake that was made was not really you!
Children are gifts that come only from God;
And really – the fact it came later – was odd;
There is something important you need to know;
God makes no mistakes – my little fellow!

PLEASE PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER
MAPA = MAKE AMERICA PRAY AGAIN
A CONVICTION OF HEART
As you go on your merry selfish way;
Seizing the fruits of the flesh each day;
Oblivious to the trap you have set;
The damnation of your soul you beget!
Wrapped up in the world of self desire;
The flesh and it pleasures you admire;
What the world offers you is all you see;
Ego-driven – self-centered – you must be!
Where is God in your devilish daily quest?
Has He knocked and asked to be your guest?
Has He pleaded with you to let Him inside?
Why do you cover – your nakedness – hide?
If what you are doing is no foul or sin;
Why don’t you ever – invite Him – come in?
Could it be your temple is dirty, unkempt?
Is that why you rebuff His every attempt?
Let shame be upon you until the day;
When our Lord and Savior will have His say;
If you think for one minute you will escape;
A conviction of heart – it will take shape!
Sooner or later – He will nag you with guilt;
Then with the hammer He’ll knock you off kilt;
You try to get up – and over you go;
What you have broken – you really don’t know!
It matters not what is battered or bruised;
Nor does it matter that you are confused;
Get up you coward and face your fate;
Hustle your bustle – and don’t hesitate!
Get down on your knees – and humble be;
Ask Him to show you – and help you to see;
It just might happen He opens your eyes;
To your selfishness – deception – and lies!
When the world gives fame and a big bankroll;
What does man gain if he loses his soul?
Is it worth it to gain – possess worldly goods?
Or cling to the flesh with all its falsehoods?
If you honestly seek first the Kingdom of God;
Then all will be added – does that seem too odd?
Know what God promised is tested and true;
Why would you want what the world offers you?
When you leave behind what the world has to give;
That is when you will truly – be ready to live;
When you die to sin – you make the decision;
To end all the strife – lay waste to derision!
Repent and relieve all the tension today;
Accept Jesus Christ – the Truth, Life, and Way;
Believe that your life will change for the good;
A Conviction of Heart – just as it should!

I am not a big fan of Flynn, but he said the following on twitter. You can find the actual post there if yiu want, but I wanted to quote him here because it is so well stated:
It’s why we can’t “unify.”
General Flynn didn’t actually write this. Clandestine did, and he called out the general quite politely, and asked why he was not given credit for it in the retweeting.
https://twitter.com/WarClandestine/status/1855706799569297542
Normally, I’m fine with General Flynn, but not giving credit to the actual author chafes. Intellectual property is what it is if it’s already been published. That was beaten into us by the nuns.

I’m glad she put that speculation to rest.
Just remember, Leftists are liars, first and foremost. Most of all to themselves.

Wait to quit after DJT is sworn in. You’re gonna be so depressed with all the winning DJT and the American People are going to experience.
Then you can quit, so DJT can replace you with a MAGA Warrior Justice.

100% Trump is involved, pushing for Scott.
Replying to @TuckerCarlsonWithout Rick Scott, the entire Trump reform agenda wobbly.
https://x.com/catturd2/status/1855569795590095322
But Sundance says no!
How wonderful if Scott won.
Who is SD suggesting?
—-
Glanced at SD. Smells like capitulate, surrender…
It WOULD be wonderful for America if Scott won.
Wow it’s too bad that Trump doesn’t get his advice from someone who knows what they’re talking about like SD /s
I sure hope Rick Scott has had a HUGE change of heart. If I remember correctly, he was a lousy RINO Gov. of Florida, was booted out of the governorship, but because he’s a career politician and can’t do anything else, he ran for Senate and won that.
Then somewhere along the way, he noticed the political winds favored Trump, and hitched his wagon to that.
Now all of a sudden he’s the hero we need.
Maybe, but I’ll believe it when I see it.
Suspicious dog remains… suspicious 😁
Well, at least he doesn’t look like you even with the shared name.
I don’t make assumptions about what people look like here…..as far as I’m concerned, they’re all green, slimy, and have tentacles — like normal peeps.
😂
tentacle envy
There are at least several people with my first name who don’t look like me 😁
Within our echo chamber, it appears Scott is favored for Senate Majority Leader. (Or so I figure.)
Wednesday, R-Cons will hold a secret ballot, to elect the next Majority Leader.
Cocaine Mitch can’t go away soon enough.
It shows where the coming battles will be focused – RINO’s. The Dems have self destructed. Force the RINOs to switch parties so they have to own the stank of being a Dem
That can only be done by Whatley or L. Trump.
They have the authority to restrict or prohibit use of Republican Party copyrights and trademarks. They could literally prevent RINOs from calling themselves members of the Republican Party but it might start a legal fight. They could stop RINOs from participating in Party affairs and/or business.
Lots of sand they could throw in the Republican Party Vaseline.
I hope Chrissy is reading it too.

Take time to pray for and possibly help those affected by Helene in western NC and northeastern TN if you are so inclined.
Our SBC church sent a team for a house rebuild to an area affected in TN. A UMC church congregation In Illinois provided our congregation over $5 K toward the effort simply by having a friends connection within the congregation. They just felt called to help. The situation and what happened follows.
An elderly man owned the home with a daughter and brother living with him. It is in a rural area, a ranch style home and near the affected river. Never had flooding problems on the property for over 40 years despite being on flat land in the “flood plain”. The floods came quickly and the elderly man with his daughter could not leave in time as the brother was out in the community in their only vehicle, a Jeep. When it began to happen the brother called them and headed to the house. He never made it. The Jeep was found a couple days later mangled in some debris with no body inside. The elderly man and daughter were able to stay safe in the house somehow (God) although it flooded to the rafters. They lost everything inside.
Our team provided an account with photos. There is still household effects and personal items such as clothing, teddy bears, documents, books, etc. in the branches of the trees that withstood the floods. Other than the handful of trees, the land was wiped clean with only mud and sand left.
The elderly man was about to lose his home forever, The county had notified officially they were seeking the property through eminent domaine if he chose not to rebuild on a grandfathered homestead basis. He would not have received anywhere near market value during that process. Churches found out about it and handled the situation. They demo’d down to the studs and framing that were deemed to be in good shape and the house was built on slab fortunately. In a period of three weeks using all volunteers, the home was 98% completed and the two moved back in. It should be finished by next week.
The elderly man and daughter (who are Christians), who thought all was lost, now have hope again. The authorities have kicked in with cadaver searching dogs to try to find his brother’s body to have closure. The entire event and our church’s response is leading to a mission, planned funding and future relief event team efforts.
God is good.
so happy there are kind, generous people to help those people in NC!
I take it you mean ongoing efforts to help the hurricane victims. If you can provide a link or an address for sending donations specifically for that effort, I would appreciate it.
Thanks for asking TT. Ours will form with a sister church in early 2025. The one that does it right in the affected area is a Christian organization called Appalachian Service Project. They are well underway and have been doing this work for 55 years.

Wild squirrels….
Yesterday morning, the back yard was void of all wildlife – birds, squirrels, rabbits, etc. The Couch Commando caught sight of the reason why. A good sized hawk was sitting on the fence.
Yes, they will take care of excess squirrels. And the owls take care of other rodents. I love living in this neighborhood where the ecosystem is running smoothly.

CNN
ex-Harris communications director Jamal Simmons :
“Joe Biden has been a phenomenal president, he has lived up to the promises he made, but there is one promise left to fulfill,”
“He can resign the presidency in the next 30 days and make Kamala Harris the next president of the United States.”
Virtue signaling is all they have left. It is a sad thing that they have been so successful in America. They should have disappeared into the dustbin of history many decades ago.
She is NOT a natural born citizen. Why everybody has tolerated her occupying the VP office is beyond me.
Alas water under the bridge the second she took the oath of office.
I think that requirement has been irrelevant since Obama was sworn in as President.
No body that can make a difference gives a shit.
same way they tolerated non-NBC Barry Soetoro 
She was not elected to office, either. The election was stolen.
This!!!
😂
Excellent idea! Now Biden will be seen as refusing Harris the Presidency and we get to watch double the humiliation, while Biden is seen as spiteful by denying her this. Ain’t going to happen but the fact that it could but won’t is simply delightful. Clown show! 😂
I’ve never understood this fascination with JB resigning, nor have I understood why people think there is a chance in you-know-where that he would do it willingly after all he’s been through.
When did he promise to ensure we had the first female president?
i was wondering that myself!
Get the impeachment papers ready.
Let’s make her the first cackling Jamaican-Indian feminist gas-bag to be impeached and removed from office 👍😂

A Minnesota man became upset over Trump’s victory, killed his wife, ex-wife, two sons, and committed suicide. Anthony Neefew, 46, believed in aliens and interstellar worlds. He was also critical of Trump and the Republicans. Anthony finally lost his mind on Thursday, November 7, when it became clear that Trump had won in a landslide. That was the day Anthony killed his ex-wife and eldest son, then came home, where he killed his current wife and youngest son, and then shot himself. In essence, he became a victim of the anti-Trump hysteria that the Democratic Party was whipping up. The propaganda of hatred, coupled with the character’s leaky attic, produced ugly shoots. It is also reported that Richard Gere and Tom Hanks are leaving the US due to Trump’s victory.
you can’t yell fire in a crowded theater. why can the left ramp up the violent rhetoric without reprisal?
Richard Gere is leaving because of his marital ties, not due to the election.
Tom Hanks has been enamored with Australia for a long time and spends long periods down under.
HeHeHeHe!
Trump got his old job back and sent this letter to McDonalds that effective 20 Jan 2025 he will be resigning from the position he held in the company.

About the government provided (taxpayer funded) homes (of which ONE has been delivered) – they appear to be a ploy to get people off their land, as they can’t be used in any of the damaged areas…
Yup. Land grab in the affected area. Move them to another town.
I find this very very intriguing. I think this would be a stellar wirk around.
https://twitter.com/glennbeck/status/1854988977989992472
For Vance to be Senate majority leader the Senate would have to vote him in though, right? They’re having a secret ballot in a few days. I doubt it would happen, but it’s a great idea.
I wonder if theres a way to do this that says hey, its legal, and would you deny PDJT and a sitting senatorVP elect the job? If it was done before was there a vote? More questions.
I don’t think he can be senate majority leader without being a senator.
However, he could take a more active role as president of the senate. Though that might pose hazards, senators are used to the president of the senate being hands-off until there’s a tie that needs to be broken.
Listen to that very carefully. He’s NOT saying Vance would be majority leader, but that Vance would take on more responsibility as President of the Senate, and do some of the things the Majority Leader currently does.
Republicans have rules that can be used to block judicial confirmation votes.
We’ll see if they go along with DJT’s concerns.
Any stragglers for doing so should be noted and addressed by us.
I hope you realize that I was describing the transition period after 11/5 and before 1/3, right?

FEMA admits to land grab…”in the interest of preventing another 1000 year flood damaging homes.”
Nice to have confirmation of what everyone already knew – FEMA is a government land grab operation exploiting disasters and taking people’s wealth
What bugs me to death is that nobody does what they do in Louisiana – which is to simply build houses on pylons and stilts. People build elevated houses, keep the land, and park their cars under the houses when there’s no flood risk.
This dramatically increases the real and immediate cost of construction, while resulting only in a difficult-to-quantify lessening of risk.
I see both sides of that problem as readily solved, and now being the perfect time to do it. Opportunity knocks, for those who see it.
There are better ways to deal with a 100 year flood plain (I grew up in one), but I’m figuring that those solutions won’t be implemented any time soon in North Carolina, in a red region under a blue governor, with the deep state wanting the land.
A real shame, but that’s the way it is.
So based on that reality, citizens can either pack it up, or keep their land and rebuild. My money would be on the second “100-year” flood being in the next 50 years. Keep my land, and build to withstand the same flood, would be my choice.
Of course, I’m the kinda guy who builds an ark if I think I need one. 😉
Prepper mentality. For whatever the threat.

Michael Cohen Discusses Effectiveness of “FU MAGA” Winning Political Cultural War
November 10, 2024
“This is a terribly funny encapsulation video outlining the effective cultural war combat strategy of the 2024 MAGA movement.
Warning – The video has some salty language but is put together brilliantly to highlight what took place in the final months of the election.
I have shared before my research into the election coalition that took place, specifically as it relates to two generations: Gen-X and Gen-Z. The data from the election shows that Gen-X was easily the largest voting block this cycle, they simply turned up like never before. In the background of the social media war, Gen-X trained, tooled and empowered the Gen-Z energy, and the outcome is exactly what this video shows.
The angry Democrats in 2024 never stood a chance against the totally organic “so what” snarky memers. The sarcastic humor, ridicule and resulting fun simply started to catch fire in the social media world. Corporate media didn’t understand it, Big Tech couldn’t control it, Hollwood was overwhelmed in a space they did not influence, and the speed of the movement was too fast for the IC to catch or block it.
The results are brilliantly outlined in this video posted to the Twitter which showcases the frustration of Michael Cohen in describing it. ENJOY:
.
.
Politics are downstream from pop culture, and MAGA won through fun.
.
That was funny. The “encapsulation video” link worked, but the one at the bottom didn’t.
There is no argument that the Left can make against Trump and the Right in order to paint themselves as superior. For everything they accuse us of, they have done something worse and on a bigger scale. They have no class, no dignity, no principles, in many cases questionable morals, and very little (if any) truth in them.
They’re just bad people! The definition of hateful and intolerant and closed-minded. Everything they accuse their opponents of being.
Members of the God-hating, America-hating, Constitution-hating, Freedom-hating, baby murder loving Party of Sodom & Gomorrah.
There’s not one part of that which isn’t plainly true or that anyone can deny. My cup runneth over with examples.
I don’t know how everyone can’t see it.
And the traitorous GOP facilitates. ALWAYS.

Marica and All —
Yours Truly has been on the phone with MD son both last night and this morning. He was able to calm me down from calling 911, at least so far.
What has hit me, hard, is something called Acute Grief. This is the stage of grief that comes very shortly after losing a loved one. It can present in multiple ways, emotional and physical. This can include panic-anxiety attacks. This is the stage where the bereaved person just has to let it wash over him/her, even if it feels horrible. It’s not an illness; it’s not “losing one’s mind.”
Acute Grief comes in waves. The waves can be small, or medium, or large. The waves can come and go at random times, or keep rolling in and out for a period of time. Acute Grief can make the bereaved lose appetite, lost interest in being with other people; it can make even simple tasks feel almost overwhelming. It can make the bereaved person cry suddenly and for “no reason.” It can interfere with things that need to be taken care of, like paying bills. It can hit hard, even if the relationship between the deceased and the bereaved person was difficult, or if they hadn’t seen each other for some time before the death occurred.
And Yours Truly is now in the land of Acute Grief. I have to let this happen and get through it. It’s the only way to get to the next level of grief — Integrative Grief.
Thank you for your encouragement, prayers, and good thoughts. I love you all.
Is there anyone who could talk to her? I’m sure some of the other women here could exchange phone numbers with her via encrypted Gab chat or something, so she could talk to someone she interacts with daily (here, or at Marica’s, etc.).
Someone who is on the same page regarding all the BS we’ve all been through, someone who doesn’t need to be convinced of anything just to be able to have a normal conversation, as opposed to dealing with people who are in denial, or can’t see, or don’t care, etc.
I talk to my college roommate every few months, and it’s always good to talk, but we spend half the conversation trying to deprogram all the MSM BS he thinks is real. He’s not a Dimicrat, and he voted for Trump, but he gets most of his information from bad sources. So it’s frustrating just trying to have a normal conversation with someone who literally doesn’t see the world the same way you do.
i think she does talk with Marica
I hope so, that would be good 👍
My old roommate thought there was positively no way DJT would win the GOP nomination. It was impossible.
I told him the American People wouldn’t accept any other candidate, it wasn’t even a question. There was zero chance that he wouldn’t get the Republican nomination, no matter what the pathetic RINOs tried to do. It wasn’t the nomination I was concerned about, it was having the election stolen again.
He wanted to bet me a steak dinner, anything. He was confident. Then DJT won the nomination, and he couldn’t believe it. He had been totally gaslighted by his information sources and the people in his immediate sphere of influence.
Then he thought DJT had no chance to win the election. I kept telling him he’s getting his information from the mainstream media, and I’m not, and that’s why what I think is happening is so night-and-day different than what he thought was happening.
It didn’t matter, there was nothing I could say that would convince him that Trump even had a chance.
Then DJT won on November 5th.
He called me the next day and the first thing he said was “Did you ever have any doubt?”
I said sure, I mean, I didn’t have any doubt that DJT would get the most votes, but I expected the Leftists to cheat and steal it again, just like they did in 2020 and 2022. I didn’t expect DJT to back down this time though, so I thought it might be like a repeat of Bush v. Gore.
For some reason that I can’t figure out, one of his big peeves with DJT is the mean tweets. He said ‘Do you think he’ll finally stop with the mean tweets?”
I said I don’t know why he would. He has won 3 elections in a row now with mean tweets, so why fix what isn’t broke? Why change now?
Silence.
I said do you remember how we were in college? We would have been HUGE Trump supporters, we would have laughed our asses off about the stuff he says, and cheered him on, right?
He agreed, without hesitation.
So I said what happened then? I’m laughing my ass off at the stuff he says and cheering him on, just like I would have done when we were still in school, but you’re not.
So what happened?
What changed?
crickets?
Basically. He travels a lot for work, so he spends a lot of time in the car listening to establishment news.
He mentioned Hannity specifically, so he’s not following Leftard Media, but Hannity (like most of Fraud News) is controlled opposition.
And it’s not easy to explain what ‘controlled opposition’ even means, without passing tin foil hats around to everyone within earshot 😂
Perhaps suggest Bongino and Warroom.
Tucker, Vivek, Tulsi and RFK Jr videos.
And Mark Steyn. I loved when he filled in for Rush!
👍
Does Mark have a radio show? I remember he was real sick for a while, but I think (hope!) he’s doing better.
I honestly don’t know if he does currently do radio. He was just so spot on AND funny that I thought he could be an enjoyable way to ease into MAGA 🙂
Good idea, I will do that, next time we talk 👍
I never listen to radio, so I don’t even think about Bongino or Bannon except when people mention them here or I see yootoob / Rumble clips.
I’ve talked to her. She holds the people she loves EXTREMELY close. This isn’t her first rodeo with stuff like this. Her brother passing must have really hit her hard.
DePat
Yes. This isn’t my first rodeo. But my brother was the only one out of the numerous members of my family who have died over the past 20 years that I wasn’t able to visit before he left this planet.
Though I’m very sorry that she is going through this now there is also relief that she wasn’t dealing with some type of died or disabled suddenly scenario w/ her son et al. She has trod the very painful path of grief before & she will be carried by the Lord & buoyed by the prayers of those who love & care for her, in Jesus’ Name.
Thanks for posting, Pat. If you have the opportunity to pass this to her please do so.
PAVACA – You have arrived and there is no timeline to feel better about things. Everybody grieves differently. Wifey and I were facilitators of Christian grief support groups in our church for a number of years. Most times it takes 2 – 6 years to fully move on. I know of one young man that it took 12 years.
The advice you were given is spot on. It comes in waves at random times that are unpredictable. It is OK to not be OK during those periods. They are called ambushes. Something will trigger an event that you never see coming. You need to ride it out, trust in your faith in God and better times. He will see you through it. We have been present when life changing release has occurred and it is remarkable. As if all of the burdens of the world were lifted off the person all at once.
You can do this. I am here if you ever need to “talk” about it. Prayers always for you.

Thank you.
Here’s a truth for you – it never stops. You don’t get through it.
It lies dormant. It awakens without warning although certain situations can be fertile for it to awaken, and you can learn which these are.
I lost my first born in 2004. He was living in CA with his grandmother and I live in WA. One day, his grandma went in his room and he was on the floor dead. The homicide detective said he’d been dead for at least six hours and maybe nine.
He was diabetic. After questioning his grandmother for a few hours, they decided she was not involved. The coroner came and took the body away. Because there was no crime, there was no autopsy. It was just assumed he died from diabetes.
He was not quite 26 years old.
Sometimes when somebody asks me if I have children, I can feel it coming on. My eyes get filled with tears, my stomach tightens, and the sadness comes. Not overwhelming but definitely something I need to resist.
Later when I’m alone, the memories start their chaotic assault on my mind. Followed by the unfulfilled plans and/or possibilities.
The last act in this three-act horror show is the parade of regrets – the parental mistakes I made, the improper attitudes I had that were more about my internal crap than anything he did wrong at the time, etc.
I’m stronger now and it’s harder for those nasties to get out of the lockbox.
The only thing that helps is praying. I pray for God to remind me that my sin debts are paid and His Son has forgiven me for everything I’ve done wrong.
Try that, my friend.
I’m sorry for your loss and your grief. I appreciate your sharing that prayer helps you. As difficult as this must be, I sense strength in what you write.
Oh PGroup, thank you so much for sharing this hard won wisdom from your own personal heartbreak. I’m so sorry for this unimaginable loss. God be with you.
Life long friends of my parents lost their middle child, a son, who had uncontrolled diabetes & was in denial of his health needs. He lived alone so wasn’t found for a couple of days. He lived out of state from his parents & they went to his home (I think it was an apartment) to deal with his effects. He had a cat that they took with them when they went home. At the hotel on their return trip somehow the cat got out of whatever they were transporting it in (it was probably really freaked out for multiple reasons). Anyway the cat somehow got into the walls in the hotel/motel & I think it ultimately died in there despite all efforts to retrieve it. In a strange way, losing that cat was almost like losing their son all over again.
The mom, who has always been a kind of worry wort (though Incredibly sweet), will likely never fully recover. I would guess that she eagerly anticipates the end of her own earthly journey so that she can be reunited with this son that they never got to say goodbye to in this life. Her husband, children, & grandchildren give her tentative attachment to this world, at least for the time being, broken heart beating reluctantly.

My heart goes out to you.
ThanQ. That’s a two way street.
@AtlRey
Here’s a quick recap of what just happened in AZ in case you missed it:
– Trump won Arizona by 6 points
– Gallego had 127k more votes than there are registered Democrats in AZ.
– Lake had 200k fewer votes than there are registered Republicans in AZ.
– Gallego received more votes than Kamala Harris did in AZ.
– Lake received 140k fewer votes than Trump did in AZ.
– Uncounted ballots increased days after the deadline.
-Mitch McConnell withheld campaign funds from Lake.
– No GOP members are speaking out about these discrepancies.
Overall, something about this election between Lake and Gallego doesn’t add up. Thoughts?

Well, if the above is true, there’s probably $$ changing hands somewhere.
“No GOP members are speaking out about these discrepancies.”
______
That’s their role in the Uni-Party. I can think of about maybe 5 Republicans who defended or supported Trump in the entire professional Republi-con party.
Well, they have lawyers.

Healing Hand, as I lay in my bed this evening, I pray for Your restorative power to touch my life. Mend what has been broken, soothe what has been hurt, and heal what has been wounded.

NYC Buses Migrants Back to Texas… Because Trump Won
King Leon says Hi 😉
Tell him Elon will need his sword skills soon.
Make it so 🙂
Taco is such a loving, caring wife…
Biden is currently battling the sand at his beach house in Delaware.
(The sand is winning)

I find this hard to watch. I know he is a criminal, and deserves punishment for his crimes. But he’s just OLD and pathetic, and nobody, not even his own family, gives a shit.
I wonder if Joe grasps how poorly Taco has and is treating him.
Likely in denial.
I bet he thinks she hung the moon.
He could be like me. I walk really pathetically because my knees are dysfunctional and I have middle ear issues.
But I find it easier to walk without assistance and have told my wife so. Maybe that’s the same with SlowJoe.
In the past I helped to care-take an elderly man who always wanted me to walk ahead of him. It helped him to navigate. Imagine what that looked like to others.
You didn’t happen to live near any minefields, did you?
bwah ha ha
💣 😅
Could be. But there are other signs that she doesn’t care much.
[DS] Election Rigging System Is About To Be Exposed, This Time Trump Has Gov’t Control – Ep. 3496

California is in trouble, the people and businesses are going to move to another state, gas hit with a 65 cent tax. US full time employment dropped by 1 million.Bezos selling stocks. Tariffs are going to change everything. It’s time to end the endless. The [DS] is trying to maintain control and to do this they are cheating in the 2024 election, but this time the cheating is being exposed in real time. Kari is fighting against the system in AZ, they are trying to cheat her out of her win. This time it’s going to be different, Trump has control over the government this time around not the [DS].

I sure hope X22 guy is right, he has a lot of positivity 👍😁
He’s a consistent dispenser of hopium in my experience.
“This time it’s going to be different, Trump has control over the government this time around not the [DS].”
____________
Does he mention how DJT has control over the government this time? Or does he mean after January 20th?
My impression from when I listen to him is that he thinks “we have it all” has applied all this time. He has even said that the military is in control (meaning currently). I think he thinks DJT has been in control this past four years — which makes no sense to me since there is no mechanism for him to have been in control.
I don’t agree with Dave on some things, but I can listen to him because of his attitude of openness. I think he has good information and insights on some other issues.
BREAKING: Republican Gabe Evans Flips Colorado’s 8th District Red – GOP One Seat Away From Winning House
Woohoo (not showing on DDHQ yet but I pretty much assume the AP is competent at this).
This marks the first time in a LONG time that our house delegation is 50% republican…rather than less. (We gained an 8th seat and hence a 10th electoral vote in 2022…before that it was 4-3 in favor of the Dems.)
Oooh, the DemonRat has conceded! CBS made the call. DDHQ is snoozing.
Some good news – finally!
The last two weeks I actually wrote the science part of the post on the previous Saturday and Sunday.
That’s unlikely to happen this time…so it may be a science free post this coming Saturday.
Looking forward to Whatever you choose to share!
BREAKING UPDATE: ACLU Loses Lawsuit to Extend Time to Find More Votes in Arizona
Good. Dems. UGH. They’re infinite cheaters, liars and THIEVES.
Great plan by me.
Step 1: Show up to work
Step 2: Fire everyone
Step 3: Burn all the tax stamps, 4473s, and computers
Step 4: Go home
If the Trump administration decided to ask me to become the Director of the ATF, I would gladly accept and help make America great again

It sure feels good to put in an honest days’ work.
This guy adds a pinch of vision and a smidgen of purpose…
Step 1: Move the headquarters to Fairbanks Alaska
Step 2: Fire everyone who doesn’t show up to work
Step 3: Assign everyone remaining to investigate Waco
Step 4: Give them all a severance and shut it down

ATF investigating itself = coverup
Lolololol. Boys on Halloween.
Sunday funny 😁
Hilarious! And the kids were RIGHT!!!
Yep. Just 4 boys being boys…
Hes been doing this for 10 YEARS.
https://ktla.com/news/nationworld/video-shows-man-trying-to-kidnap-child-walking-with-father-nypd-says/
“A man is facing charges after an apparent attempted child abduction was caught on video in Brooklyn, New York Police said.
In footage of the incident shared by Crown Heights Shomrim Patrol, seen in the video player at the top of this story, a father can be seen walking with two children, a boy and a girl.
A masked man can then be seen walking by them and appears to try picking up the boy, but his father does not let go. After the man drops the boy, the video appears to show the men exchanging words before going their separate ways.
Police arrested the suspect, identified as 28-year-old Stephan Stowe, and charged him with kidnapping in the second degree, endangering the welfare of a child, and harassment.
Police say Stowe has been arrested over 30 times.”
My own quick internet sleuthing uncovered this gem. Its the same guy, muslim, who did this attack when he was 17.
“A New York City subway train was the scene of a dramatic scuffle between police officers and bystanders this week after a teenager allegedly accosted a Jewish passenger and uttered anti-Semitic remarks.”
https://www.huffpost.com/entry/teen-jewish-subway-passenger-arrested-new-york_n_3118977
Yet he still walks around.
I wonder what has happened to the children over all that time.
just because 🙂
possibly even on the dot!
I don’t think that counts as a gladiator movie.
bwah ha ha
we just watched the Detroit Lions fight back in a gladiatorial contest to victory!
It better not.
I had expected you to say “Surely not!”
LOL!!!
Wasn’t Shirley Knott Don Knott’s sister?
I was thinking of Wyoming Knott, founding hero of the Luna Republic.
Why not?
I don’t even know which movie that’s from 
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0416449/
TY looks interesting
You can probably figure out why I didn’t just tell you the name of the movie.
😉 😉
It’s a great movie, lots of fun 👍😁
We’ll have to check it out…some day 🙂
That’s King Leonidas, King of the Spartans in the post count meme picture 👍😁
The movie is called “300”, and it’s about the 300 Spartans who stood against Xerxes and the entire Persian army in the battle of Thermopylae.

There is a trailer to watch at imdb (International Movie Database)

TY Scott. Being a big Wolverines fan I have a bit of an aversion to Spartans 😉
