Welcome.
Please visit this January 1st daily thread for the rules of the road,
which are few but important.

Do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.
These are the kind of powerful words that motivated America’s founding fathers to create the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
For freedom Christ has set us free. Stand firm, therefore,
and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery. — Galatians 5:1
It is going to require a decision on our part to “stand firm” and “not submit again” before we are going to begin to take this seriously. But we have the help of God and the intensely determined support of our President, his team, and untold numbers of our fellow citizens.

We got our miracle.
America is back.
Now what?
Let us dedicate ourselves to seeking our place in the cleansing, healing, and rebuilding of this beautiful, resource-rich nation. Are we to pray? Of course. Are we to vote? Absolutely.
But we know there is much to do and not all is certain. We might find ourselves asking, “What am I to do in these amazing days of transformation?” God will guide us.
Priorities.
The Trump-Vance Administration Priorities page @ WhiteHouse.gov provides us with the eagle’s eye view of where we are going. Notice the order of these priorities. Safety of the people first! May the Lord grant us wisdom, strength, and good success.
MAKE AMERICA SAFE AGAIN
- President Trump will take bold action to secure our border and protect American communities.
- This includes ending Biden’s catch-and-release policies, reinstating Remain in Mexico, building the wall, ending asylum for illegal border crossers, cracking down on criminal sanctuaries, and enhancing vetting and screening of aliens.
- President Trump’s deportation operation will address the record border crossings of criminal aliens under the prior administration.
- The President is suspending refugee resettlement, after communities were forced to house large and unsustainable populations of migrants, straining community safety and resources.
- The Armed Forces, including the National Guard, will engage in border security, which is national security, and will be deployed to the border to assist existing law enforcement personnel.
- President Trump will begin the process of designating cartels, including the dangerous Tren de Aragua, as foreign terrorist organizations and use the Alien Enemies Act to remove them.
- The Department of Justice will seek the death penalty as the appropriate punishment for heinous crimes against humanity, including those who kill law enforcement officers and illegal migrants who maim and murder Americans.
MAKE AMERICA AFFORDABLE AND ENERGY DOMINANT AGAIN
- The President will unleash American energy by ending Biden’s policies of climate extremism, streamlining permitting, and reviewing for rescission all regulations that impose undue burdens on energy production and use, including mining and processing of non-fuel minerals.
- President Trump’s energy actions empower consumer choice in vehicles, showerheads, toilets, washing machines, lightbulbs and dishwashers.
- President Trump will declare an energy emergency and use all necessary resources to build critical infrastructure.
- President Trump’s energy policies will end leasing to massive wind farms that degrade our natural landscapes and fail to serve American energy consumers.
- President Trump will withdraw from the Paris Climate Accord.
- All agencies will take emergency measures to reduce the cost of living.
- President Trump will announce the America First Trade Policy.
- America will no longer be beholden to foreign organizations for our national tax policy, which punishes American businesses.
DRAIN THE SWAMP
- The President will usher a Golden Age for America by reforming and improving the government bureaucracy to work for the American people. He will freeze bureaucrat hiring except in essential areas to end the onslaught of useless and overpaid DEI activists buried into the federal workforce. He will pause burdensome and radical regulations not yet in effect that Biden announced.
- President Trump is announcing an unprecedented slate of executive orders for rescission.
- President Trump is planning for improved accountability of government bureaucrats. The American people deserve the highest-quality service from people who love our country. The President will also return federal workers to work, as only 6% of employees currently work in person.
- President Trump is taking swift action to end the weaponization of government against political rivals and ordering all document retention as required by law. President Trump is also ending the unconstitutional censorship by the federal government. No longer will government employees pick and require the erasure of entirely true speech.
- On the President’s direction, the State Department will have an America-First foreign policy.
BRING BACK AMERICAN VALUES
- The President will establish male and female as biological reality and protect women from radical gender ideology.
- American landmarks will be named to appropriately honor our Nation’s history.
Trying to Keep Up.
This page @ WhiteHouse.gov/news is a great place to follow along as everything begins to unfold. Every executive order shows up instantly and they just keep coming.

So much there: Articles. Briefings & Statements. Fact Sheets. Presidential Actions. Remarks.

A big Thank You to all the team serving in this administration!
And an even bigger Thank You to our 47th President, Donald J. Trump.

Twitterati.
Very recently I finally began to read in the X.com space. The platform is suspicious of me and therefore I do not have an account. Probably due to the basic efforts I’ve made to retain some level of privacy. Oh well.
The kind people here have shown me the way to view people’s feeds by using the Nitter.Poast.org site. It’s opened up a whole new world of information. Very helpful.
I have a new favorite follow. And I recommend her to you. Nicole Shanahan. She was RFK Jr’s running mate. She’s as informed, active and feisty as they come. Nicole Shanahan‘s feed is following the Senate confirmations and a LOT more.
For fresh news on our J6 people and a lot more, Julie Kelly might be the place to visit.

Prayer.
God Bless America,
Land that I love.
Stand beside her, and guide her
Thru the night with a light from above.
From the mountains, to the prairies,
To the oceans, white with foam
God bless America, My home sweet home.
Enjoyed the opening.
so much is happening it’s hard to keep up.
I do love Trump’s signature. It’s so big and bold.
sure it’s to Agnes but still. 
Fun story but I got a copy of his art if the deal book a few years back, it was from some liberal state on the east coast. It was so cheap. When I got it to my surprise it’s an autographed copy.
I love buying used books!
I also love PDJT’s message to us:
Ahhhhh a used book lover!
Have you tried the little free libraries! Amazing finds. Treasures.
He is just so optimistic and positive!
That’s especially great when someone doesn’t like a book like that, and puts it up for sale or donates it unread… I got a few books from ABE Books and another outfit over here that were so new, the spines weren’t even cracked… and they cost only a fraction of what a new copy would have…
They have sort of a free library here, and the bookhounds in my family and inlaws are always finding new gems… trouble is finding more shelf space
Awesome and yes that’s a big issue where to put all the books. LOL
BILLY!!!!!!!!

Does that have something to do with the generic IKEA bookshelves named BILLY?
Yep. Those are Billy Bookshelves, some with doors… from a “Pimp my IKEA” website…
I have tons of them, from many different years, and it’s obvious where they cut corners, so to speak. I’ve added (thin) plywood to replace the even thinner masonite, then cardboard, then paper(!!!) backing, as well as reinforcing screws for the middle shelves, then have glass doors to keep the dust off everything… the white ones are cheaper, and look better, but we also have some of the birch ones, and many, Many, MANY years ago we had some of the red-brown ones, with two sets of top extensions so they went floor to ceiling along a whole wall. Lotta fun getting to the top
We used some in our converted garage. In such spaces, it is a relief to be able to trim the units to fit without concern for their integrity.
So I’m checking for what I missed in a final pass through before getting to “today’s” Q-Tree post & scrolling by your comment my sleepy eyes thought you said “I love buying used socks” LOL
White-out can be your friend.
White-out supremacy???
You got it from Agnes?
Apparently Tom Lehrer did too
(JUST KIDDING)…
Nicely done, friend!
A work powered by the grace of God for sure.
agreed!
thanks Gudthots!

This beautifully crafted sentence is my favorite of the week:
“He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored – appropriately since the Democrats are almost as mad about us deporting their illegal alien serfs as they were about us freeing their slaves.”
Well, it WAS my favorite, until I got to this one:
“This is amazing. This is glorious. Summon a surgeon – it’s been a little over a week and you’re supposed to call the doctor after just four hours.”
LOLOLOL!!!!
Steve, here’s your schadenboner reference! BWAHAHA!
Terrific post Gudthots. Thank you.
I loved the one bolded lines We got our miracle. America is back.
YES!
Me too!
Nice open, Gudthots. Thanks for highlighting all the information that can be found on the .gov site, including all the executive orders.
I started to just use the link and then realized I personally probably wouldn’t click through if I saw a link like that. I decided it would be a kindness to just bring the screen shots over here to make it easier to get a taste.
A screen shot means it is not ‘Disappeared’ like a lot of information is.
Secretary Hegseth: Pentagon to Investigate Mark Milley’s Conduct After He Undermined Chain of Command in Previous Trump Admin (VIDEO)
We know about Milley’s treason, but Pelosi was right there with him. She should have been immediately removed from Congress.
This is like a movie scenario where people take power that does not belong to them.
Lord Have Mercy.
At those temps, it is possible that with the right approach someone can be brought back. But it’s a very long shot.
(I bet this comment was supposed to go under the one about water temperature.) I hadn’t realized how crucial it would be to make quick rescues. Unfortunately it’s not looking good.
Opps.
You are right.
Wasn’t there a conspiracy theory around where Bob was C
A?
Court Martial Miley is the next step.
When found guilty, busted to E-1, forfeiture of all pay, hard labor Leavenworth.
Have been livid about Milley’s traitorous actions for, ~four years.
I enjoy that the military can do tjis.
Could AND should.
As the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, he wasn’t even in the chain-of-command. It might not be easy but a first strike could be kept secret from him. At the time, I thought, this might be a psy-op intended to throw the PLA off guard.
A court martial would verify or refute that.
Have always figured Milley part of the coup. PLA thing true. Milley a traitor.
Bring on the Court Martial.
How did the Fed do those lefty things? This sounds like somebody is trying to sabotage DJT by posting crap using his account.
It looks like an unforced error. Something ain’t quite right.
Menendez Stuns Reporters with Remarks About Trump After Being Sentenced to 11 Years in Prison (VIDEO)Cristina Laila Jan. 29, 2025 8:20 pm 458 Comments
https://twitter.com/molcranenewman/status/1884713575639355506
Lesson 101 on how to beg for clemency.
you’re probably right!
maneuvering for a pardon?
Not A Chance In Hell.
Groveling at its worst.
Menendez just another career criminal politician. Common throughout the USG.
Trump would never give scum sucking Menendez a lifeline.
DJT should offer him a conditional pardon. The condition would be that he testify under oath to EVERYTHING he knows about the sources of those bribes and what blackmail material on other congresscritters that he knows about.
He’ll take it. He doesn’t want to die in prison.
Good with it.
If that idea gets around, he’ll be dead inside of a week.
Gudthots
Thank you! Nice to see you!
I’ve been following along with your posts.
A labor of love truly.
May God grant you peace and comfort in your loss.
Ivermectin for contagious disease prevention/treatment, cancer, etc discussion/interview.
The skin cancer angle is of personal interest.
https://nitter.poast.org/MakisMD/status/1883092811249299758
I will definitely listen to this! Also of personal interest here. Have been treating a small area on my back with liposomal vitamin C gel as my dad used to do for spots on his almost-bald head. They always disappeared. My problem area has changed for the better within 3 weeks of 2-3 applications a day. Still, I do have an appointment to have a doctor look at it. Skin cancer runs in my family.
And now I have the alternative possibilty of treating myself with horse paste if my vitamin c runs out…..according to Dr. Makis in the above video. A very interesting interview!
Ivermectin for inflammatory conditions….hmmmm….bookmarking this for my post coffee brain. Thank You! Great post btw Gudthots. Lots of good information.
In the queue here. Looking forward to listening to this one.
Thank you for stepping up!
He mentioned that ivermectin was developed from a microorganism in dirt which caused a thought of mine that I held off from saying the other day when we were talking about older generation possibly having better immune systems.
A big difference in the way children play now and then. We (older) were free range. Not actually eating dirt but not afraid of getting in it, putting sticks in our mouths, sampling a tiny bit of a mud pie, tussling on the ground inhaling dirt, all of that.
As kids began spending the majority of time in preschool and then daycare that kind of play ceased. Mud pies were simulated with manufactured “clean” materials. rolling around on a dusty area..forget it…play yards are usually very manicured
Just saying…we might not know but maybe a little dirt was good for us?!
THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
you’ve provided me with the BESTEST excuse to end my war with the dust bunnies–THANK YOU!
That’s a great idea, Pat!
LOL
hhhaah glad to help !
We also didn’t get 70+ vaccines when we were kids. I think I got 4 total.
This too
Vaccines MUST be voluntary
“…play yards are usually very manicured…”
Often they are ASTRO-TURF! (We do a lot of daycares and end up in the parking lot because of the Astro-turf)
Actually I think it is a combination. I had zero allergy problems until I was about 9 or 10 (1960 or so)
From Brave AI
Here is a summary of the vaccines that were available by that time [1960]:
My husband’s oldest brother was sickly as a child, he was born in the early 50s, so his mom took him to the doctor. Doc said that a kid “needs to eat a pound of dirt” by the time they’re 2 years old. Hubby’s mom was “hurting” her child by keeping things too clean.
Our daughter was letting her young daughter put most things in her mouth. At our house she’d pick up a dog’s chew toy to gnaw on it & I observed her chewing on her dad’s tennis shoes at one point. The kid hasn’t been sick much in her almost 2 years, just a couple of pretty short-lived colds.
Oh & None of grandkids have had any type of shots!!! PTL!
God made dirt & dirt don’t hurt!
If I recall there was a study that showed farm kids were a LOT healthier compared to other kids.
Probably food + exposure to DIRT.
Children who live on farms are healthier!
makes sense
I did not eat dirt regularly, but I did try it out once.
Barb, our neighborhood gang were savages. I feel blessed none of us got TB or some other disease from grabbing cigar and cigarette butts to swagger around like we were cool.
Rocks up noses, popsicle stick knives, gumballs in slingshots, cap guns…it wuz ruff !
Yup. Drinking out of a garden hose. Drinking whiskey when you got a cold, Chew of baccy (tobacco) on the bee sting, Riding a bike on the handlebars going down a hill. Climbing on top of the garage and jumping off.
How about playing army in the woods with BB guns?
So many funny memories…those ^^ crack me up..
GITMO Lives!
President Trump Will Sign an Order to Send 30,000 Criminal Aliens to GITMO
Great place to sort out the crims by country. Then send them out by the plane load.
So we can free up the bed spaces we hope to fill
I think he plans to keep some of them there indefinitely. He stated that some are so bad he doesn’t trust their governments to prevent them from coming back to the U.S.
They can be tried, convicted and then fed to the sharks in order to free up space for more.
A press conference just ended about the plane crash, but almost no new information was given. No info on how many bodies have been recovered. Nothing has been said about survivors. Both aircraft are in the water. Rescue and recovery efforts are being hampered by darkness and some ice. The water is eight feet deep.
But the Daly Mail says this:

At least 18 bodies pulled from river and dozens feared dead after American Airlines plane with 64 on board collides midair with Black Hawk helicopter on training flight over DC: Wreckage is seen in freezing water as hopes for survivors fade
“The plane is said to have split in two and is in around seven feet of water, while the helicopter is upside down and is unstable.”
Breaking: Trump Posts Truth on Reagan Airport Mid-Air Collision: “…It is a CLEAR NIGHT, the lights on the plane were blazing, why didn’t the helicopter go up or down, or turn…”
The Heli was flying too high.
Trump’s statement:
“The airplane was on a perfect and routine line of approach to the airport. The helicopter was going straight at the airplane for an extended period of time. It is a CLEAR NIGHT, the lights on the plane were blazing, why didn’t the helicopter go up or down, or turn. Why didn’t the control tower tell the helicopter what to do instead of asking if they saw the plane. This is a bad situation that looks like it should have been prevented. NOT GOOD!!!”
“What a terrible night this has been. God bless you all!”
From the Gatewaypundit comments:
Christ Supremacist
John Paul Jones an hour ago edited
Blackhawks can be unmanned and remotely controlled. Was it hacked? Remember the F-35 out of SC?
…..
blondsktr17

an hour ago
a couple of years ago, another blackhawk helo went down killing all 8 guys,…
they were on their way to round up a very powerful individual who was a pedo in cali..
all of a sudden the blades on the helo just stopped….and they went down ….
i heard the convo from the blackbox and u could hear those guys swearing and saying their helo had been sabotaged and they knew it..
Will the passenger list contain any names that were a threat to the deep state.
Shades of remotely piloting that boat/ship into that Baltimore Bridge support?
Now we know why we haven’t seen video of the Taliban flying those Blackhawks we left behind – they were remotely sabotaged.
The other equipment we left behind? Who knows?
Perhaps easier to sabotage.
Chips made overseas, installed into US military equipment may be susceptible, to remote interference. Or so I understand.
Tinfoil hat firmly in-place.
Thats scary.
I had the exact same thoughts Gail, any of the three could be possible.
CCP PLA field testing one of their satellite warfare programs?
Just spitballin’ here.
If remote, at the last few seconds. Pick an inexperienced crew (one that has never flown Route 4 corridor before at night, time the flight (it had a lot of odd turns) and mission so it’s in the air and location at the same time. Give it a few bad commands over a secure channel that change vector and altitude, add in the bright lights from the plane that blind it, and you got yourself an accident.
Itll be good if the crew names and info are published.
“…it a few bad commands over a secure channel that change vector…”
According to the Daily Mail the aircraft has a last minute change in runway.
“NBC Chief Meteorologist Doug Kammerer said that at the time of the incident the water temperature in the river was around 37 degrees Fahrenheit.
Kammerer said that at that temperature someone in the water has only 15 to 20 minutes before they start suffering from hypothermia.”
That said, getting cold water to the face causes the mammalian dive reflex to shunt blood flow to the core from the periphery and suppresses breathing/drowning.
You’re not dead until you are Warm & dead, I believe. Perhaps there will be some miraculous resuscitations!
flight data nerds following this say the helo did not understand the plane was on a final approach to land. Were seeing lights coming at it and were only told to keep visual separation but ended up chasing itself into the plane as the plane took it’s final turn for the runway. Frankly this will likely be the final story with the helo and flight controllers taking the blame, but it looks awfully suspect. Wonder why the helo was up there with just 3. That would be pilot copilot and crew chief and no passengers. Why no passengers?
https://globe.adsbexchange.com/?icao=a97753,ae313d
Thinks the key is going to be the helo’s black box. There doesn’t seem to be any serious comms with Regan Intl tower other than to keep visual. Visual is obstructed by planes light so its rather touchy for helo. Was someone else communicating with helo and set pilot up to go into flight path? Sounds stupid but suspicion is just done to slow Trump down?
Who was on that plane?
Helo pilot doesn’t have to know they are being given bad instructions intended to use them for a hit.
Add in some kind of demonic interferance.
It’s time to pray for our military.
For cancellation of all curses, etc.
For blessing, protection, divine overshadowing.
Our Father…
Too much of a coincidence.

Russian figure skaters Evgenia Shishkova and Vadim Naumov were aboard the plane, along with other Russian nationals, according to the Kremlin. Coaches, skaters, and others had been in Wichita for the 2025 U.S. Figure Skating Championships, which concluded Sunday, and a development camp.
tries another pic

The plane takes the long loop to the airport coming up the river (see previous link and expand picture.). This is normal flight path. Was this helo’s first time going against traffic flying that corridor? The planes lights would of been seen far out. Course corrections kept taking it toward the plane as it made it’s turn. The closer the two got the helo gets blinded by the planes lights.
What is very unusual is this has not happened before. That’s why I wonder if this helo had not flown this corridor before and if someone did not help the helo going into on coming traffic. Very suspect.
Depicts Route 4 for helo pilot. 200ft limit. Crash occurs 300-400ft according to this guy. So he says one error by helo for flying to high.
https://twitter.com/jonbon909/status/1884875742137237888
I’m still stuck on how many times helo guy flew this route. 1st time?
909 @jonbon909
There is no way that BlackHawk should have been anywhere close. I flew in and out of Reagan on regionals often BIMD. Our east TN House Rep would be on it with me at times. The ascent and descent have sharper banking and angles than most commercial airports. Very tight, so the tower would have been all over it. Either military pilot error or something nefarious involved IMO.
That said, Reagan was one of my favorites back then. Knowing about what was there and seeing it from the air always tickled my American spirit. Praying for all the lives lost and their families and friends.
We need to do better in every aspect of America.
The visuals flying in and out of Reagan awesome, as an American.
Reagan National is BUSY and tightly controlled, given its proximity to Federal government seats of power, management…
Rhetorical.
Why training on that route. At night. SMH.
3. Training.
Pretty clear helo pilot(s) and air traffic control fucked up.
Thats what i see this am.
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/small-plane-crashes-near-reagan-national-airport-after-fiery-explosion-caught-camera
That poor guy at the end, waiting for his wife.
Have not delved into this crash. Likely won’t.
Posted elsewhere. Betcha DEI flying the helo.
Superficially. Gross incompetence by the helo pilot apparent.
Air Traffic Controller likely DEI also.
Gotta have equity.
What could go wrong?
I’ll shut up until more comes out. I expect stonewalling and coverup.
Hubby said it was a High Muckity Muck in the helo and that is why Transponder was off.
I wonder if it was Milley?
Oh. Maybe that’s it. Not on the plane, but on the helicopter.
I lean toward the controller, but we will see.
If the helo was flying 150-250 feet over its 200-foot limit, then DEI is entirely possible. My theory is that the trainer was relying on the assumption that planes were not landing on 33, but when ATC switched the flight to 33 (would have been the first that night), then one of his two “protections” of the DEI trainee failed – and the other one (altitude limit) was already in failure.
As I said before, I am familiar with this problem. DEI (called Affirmative Action back then) has human costs.
Trumps going there.
I wonder how much the runway in-play matters.
Big issues I’d like to understand more..
Looking forward to FG&C chiming in.
All I want to know is: who was on that plane?
Very first question I asked.
SecDef Hegseth was only confirmed when Vance broke the tie in the Senate, and now we are down to the really contentious nominess.
This is an excellent thread by Nate Hochman about NGOs. It has lots of documentation and illustrations.
Biden had been providing the NGOs with taxpayer funds.
Corruption of charities by Osatan and Briben!
Probably all arranged before hand by Soros.
Throw the leadership of all of them in prison, and press charges later, whenever you get around to it.
These are vicious, wicked, evil people. They have ZERO scriptural authority to take money from any government for any reason, much less to subvert our nation and facilitate rape and murder of Americans for filthy lucre.
There is nothing remotely ‘Christian’ about anything they are doing.
The DemonRats set the precedent with the J 6ers. Leave them to rot in Gitmo for 3 to 4 years before processing them.
Leave them to rot in Gitmo for
3 to 430 to 40 years before processing them.Fixed it for you.
….
…..
I like it!
Yup – what happened to separation of church and state they so loudly promote for other purposes?
Satanic azzhats.
Don’t be silly.
Separation of church and state is just public relations material.
At the risk of being misunderstood, let me just say that I know of no Christian denomination that doesn’t chase ‘filthy lucre’.
One could even say that it seems to be one of the pillars of the ‘faith’.
This is one reason I love my church. Our pastor says if we ever see one of those “thermometer” graphs of fund-raising in our church, we should run away!
Every church we’ve been part of that took on some type of building project was substantially changed & though facilities May have become better usually the character & composition of the congregation took a big hit ;(
In Silicon Valley, the effect is known as “The Edifice Complex”. A founder of a company will grow it to a certain size, then decide that he wants a custom building for it. Then he takes his eyes off the prize and focuses on trivial design elements while the company crashes and burns.
Very famously happened to Borland software, among others.
Fascinating…AND so very sad
Our church has grown from literally being in the pastor’s house (years before I joined) to being a small campus with about 600 regular attendees. All without any kind of fund raising. It just happened organically is my understanding, gradually.
Gradual growth is a natural process in the physical AND the spiritual worlds
WHY can’t these charities obey the law and only ferry legal immigrants instead of illegals?
M-O-N-E-Y? Is this a big cash cow for these church organizations?
I’m pretty sure you answered your own question.
$$$
Don’t pay the ferryman!
There’s too many fairy men as it is…
Like hussein, NGOs are professional grifters
How about a link to Nate Hochman’s original material?

Much appreciation for Julie Kelly continuing to highlight our J6ers.
No punishment for the monsters who did this is too harsh.
This a quote from Gateway Pundit
Four Trump supporters were killed at the Jan. 6 protests.
** 35-year-old Veteran Ashli Babbitt was shot in cold blood by Lt. Mike Byrd inside the Capitol without warning
** 34-year-old Recovering addict Rosanne Boyland was killed by Capitol Police when they gassed her, beat her, pushed her down and continued to push Trump supporters on top of her.
** 55 years old Trump supporter Kevin Greeson
** 50-year-old Trump supporter Benjamin Phillips
.
.
And there’s more…
On January 6th Rebel News reporter Keean Bexte wrote about an unconscious victim being rushed from the crowd after police started their methodical attack on the Trump supporters.
The man appeared to be dead.
This comes from @PubliusPatriot on Gab.
I think our own For God & Country might have something to say about that last story, if I remember correctly.
Yes. He would.
Happened exactly as described above.
Even after so much time, still difficult to talk about. The anger, sense of helplessness, confusion, etc. A great day turned bad.
A great day turned bad.
^^^ THIS. ^^^
I’ll bet it is. I’m sorry you went through it.
I remember seeing a guy climbing up the wall to a level where police and other people were standing. Looked at least 30 feet high. When he got to the top, to climb over the guardrail, a police officer purposely shoved him off the wall and he fell to the ground below.
That should be attempted murder, if the man survived.
This! I think the man survived but I’m not sure in what state…
It All Needs To Come Out.
DC Gulag closed AND criminal jailers prosecuted. maximum punishment.
It’s coming.
Count on it.
Using your link to JK, I couldn’t find the post you used to post the comment.

I like the sound of that phrase.
Deep Legal Trouble.
Let it be done!
Also think of the Jan 6ers who were placed in jail for YEARS waiting trial on misdemeanor charges with a max sentence of ONE YEAR!
18 U.S. Code § 241 – Conspiracy against rights
criminalizes conspiracies between 2 or more persons to violate civil rights
18 U.S. Code § 242 – Deprivation of rights under color of law
makes it a crime for anyone acting under the color of the law to willfully deprive individuals of their constitutional or federal rights.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
18 U.S. Code § 1752 – Restricted building or grounds
AG Garland is culpable for the violation of the J6 prisoners civil rights – as is Wray. This was an evil chapter in American justice.
God have mercy on his soul. It is going to be very hot where he is headed.
Bastard needs to Massively suffer here first.
Perhaps “Deep Legal Trouble” will be such a common phrase that it becomes “DLT” and is widely recognized.
Or mqybe “Deep Doo – Doo [DDD] is better.
D3 would also work for me.
Or D³
Yes, that exactly! Thank you, Cuppa!
Thank you for stepping up to the plate, Gudthots! I appreciate the info here in your first post.
Thank you.
It’s been a long break from posting.
Somehow I managed to wrangle WP into getting a post up.

Most of us don’t know enough to say one way or the other……but the decision firmly rests with Our Fearless Leader, the Big Kahuna, Lord of the Qtree and related environs, The Wolf.
His Greatness!
LOL!
Sadly, I don’t believe that ClassicPress is an option with our hosting company (I will check at some point). And even if it was, I don’t have the health bandwidth to make the data transfer. I have to plot and plan just to do simple placeholders now.
My goal at present is to recover from this flu, and to not die in 2025. That is all. And it’s working, knock on wood.
Simple goals. I will leave the fancy stuff for whoever hosts this blog after I’m gone.
“after I’m gone”
Kindly shut your mouth, sir, and God forbid for at least another 4 years!
4 is my goal!
8 is my stretch goal!
12 is my YUGE goal!
I’m hoping to arrange long-term funding.
Priority is your DW and your health. It’s all that truly matters in this discussion. IMO.

QTree is irreplaceable.
My day starts and ends with QTree.
I get it.
I know for me part of the hit from “environmental toxins” at this point is a full on war to maintain cognitive function to some larger percent of what I know I’m capable of.
The blessing is how much more I find myself leaning on the good Lord and experiencing amazing grace as I do that.
As a note for future reference, most hosting packages come with Classic Press as an option. But in no way am I recommending a shift at this point. What we have serves us well enough. The authors can make things work.
May God’s grace surround you, your family, and all those in your circle.
May the thieving life-stealers find themselves having to pay back far beyond sevenfold to everyone harmed by their evil doings.
I believe there are people that provide services such as conversion. But for basic sites (we probably qualify) the conversion tool seems to be an option.
From the FAQs:
Can I convert a WordPress site to ClassicPress – and what if I don’t like it?
Yes, you can easily convert a WordPress site to ClassicPress using the migration plugin.
The rollback process is currently a manual process (below), but we’re working on a way to automate it.
To roll back to WordPress, you can download any WordPress version without the wp-content folder (i.e. https://wordpress.org/wordpress-4.9.22-no-content.zip).
To revert to it you simply delete all the files on the server EXCEPT the wp-content folder and the wp-config.php file.
Upload the files you downloaded and your site will be back to WP 4.9.8. Please note that if you upload the zip and unpack it on the server it will be in a [wordpress] folder and not the root of your public_html unless you tell it to unpack there.
We are working on a way to automate the rollback.
It has gotten worse over the last year or 2. And it was bad before!
WordPiss is notoriously bad across 22 time zones, a dozen operating systems, zettabytes of data, and six space-time continua.
I’ve read that there’s an internal turf war going on at Sausage Squisher and that has bubbled out into their products… I don’t have the links, but I saw something about it a month or so ago (when looking for something else… I get distracted easily

It is a bit tricky.
It’s hard to keep up with the fire hose (which has affected my sleep patterns, but I don’t care).
Here’s a worthwhile video of DJT, focused mainly on the Laken Riley Act:
In yesterday’s open topic Aubergine made a totally understandable lament regarding having to take supplements in order to stay ready for the health challenges we face today.
A recent substack post by A Midwestern Doctor seems to speak to this:

Our Decline in Health…
In this article, I want to touch on a broad topic—what’s happened to our health and how do we get it back?
Over the last century, there has been a tremendous advancement in medical science and many previously insurmountable conditions are now easily managed by the conventional medicine. At the same time, almost every mentor of mine has shared with me that they observed from the start of their careers to the end of it:
•The rates of chronic illnesses in the population increased.
•Many diseases appeared that had previously been almost unheard of.
•Many holistic treatments that patients had previously had dramatic responses to, they now only marginally responded to.
Note: part of my life’s work has been tracking down the lost and forgotten medical cures and then seeing which did and did not work. I believe the final point plays a big part in explaining why it’s so hard to determine which ones were legitimate, as while some are still phenomenal, I believe many of the others that don’t get results now weren’t hoaxes but rather simply are no longer appropriate for the current age we live in.
In turn, quite a few of my mentors asked the same question I did to their mentors, and shared that my “grand-mentors” likewise observed this same decline throughout the course of their careers. From this, I’ve been able to trace a continuous observation of that progressive decline being directly reported since the late 1800s (and about 50 years earlier if I am make some inferences I believe are reasonable, and earlier still if I include what many of the doctors of that era reported about the early mercury preparations).
This discovery thus raises an obvious question: what has caused that decline in humanity’s health? I’ve put a lot of thought into this and believe that while the widespread use of a few of the early drugs (e.g., mercury) was incredibly problematic, by far the biggest shift occurred after the widespread adoption of the disastrous smallpox vaccine (roughly 150 years ago).
Since that time, numerous additional insults have been added into our environment and each one has created a significant (and sustained) spike in chronic illness that the current generation has become acclimated into accepting as the “new normal” until it is no longer questioned, while the doctors who bore witness to the catastrophic explosion in chronic illness become forgotten, and the cycle repeats.

Midwestern doc is a good guy. Set aside a lot of time to read his stuff tho…
So, a couple of more things regarding a De Pat mass…..
A funeral mass is like a regular mass, but normally would have a eulogy by the officiant, perhaps another by a family member. Wouldn’t surprise me if there were one from a Music Director in De Pat’s case.
Ordinarily, someone might sponsor a mention in a mass at the decedent’s parish; or at the family’s parish; or at the sponsor’s parish where they could hear the mass. Unfortunately, there is no Catholic parish in cyberspace (there are two that are not anchored to physical locations — one for Anglicans living as Catholics, and the other for the military). Further, there is no overriding regional or nation-wide church as there is in certain European countries.
There is a lot to unpack, some of it peculiar. Being that we cannot attend the official service remotely, we have some time to cogitate.
I saw a funeral vid from St Roch yesterday. Not sure if it is the same one, I’m sure there are many Catholic churches named after the saint. Anyway appeared to be maybe. It was filmed from one location with no panning of the camera as it focused on the alter with about six inches of the casket showing. Very dry affair, poor sound, the choir sang out of sight and no view of the pews. I don’t blame the parish for not wanting to repeat that if it the best they can do. If we were to go that route I’d suggest we get our own videographer unless we can contact someone to do it for us. Other thought is for each as they wish send cards and or flowers and content ourselves with that knowing we sent our sent our respects.
I have reached out to Susie’s brother and asked him about a livestream. He is looking into the possibility and will get back to me.
TY.
Let him know of our prayers and condolences too, if that’s OK…

that’s not to say I can’t tolerate them…both my kids have cats and dogs.
I was scratched unprovoked by a cat when i was just 14 and babysitting for the neighbor. right in the face on the cheek. I was sitting in the living room on a chair doing my homework (boy was i a nerd) and the cat jumped on the back of the chair. when i turned to see it, it lashed out–made my face bleed.
Speaking of books
I gave that book to a friend as a Christmas present.

American Airlines collision…
Have read three onboard. Priority air transport? Transponder off?
Have not read where the helo launched from. Destination.
Less than 24 hours. Narrative murky to FUBAR.
Three on board does not stack up with PAT as the three would be pilot/co-pilot/crew chief. BH’s as far as I know always fly with a crew chief.
Message to Pete possibly?
Hopefully if there was something nefarious going on he’ll explain who’s responsible.
If there was a military VIP on board it seems unlikely that it was a training flight as has been mentioned in some reports.
what if the military “VIP” wasn’t on board but wants everyone to think he was?
(tinfoil hat snugly on my head) Milley knows what’s coming. think the body will be unrecoverable?
LOL…I had the same thought
Tinfoil hat needed for this cluster.
That said, Milley does not rate military airlift.
Technically, almost every flight is a training flight [at some level].
Yup.
If the helo’s ADS-B was off this would have been a BIG factor.
Thanks.
ADS-B, or Automatic Dependent Surveillance–Broadcast, is an aviation surveillance technology that enhances aircraft tracking and situational awareness. It works by having an aircraft determine its position using satellite navigation or other sensors and then periodically broadcast this information, along with other related data, to ground-based or satellite-based receivers. Unlike secondary surveillance radar (SSR), ADS-B does not require an interrogation signal from the ground or other aircraft to activate its transmissions, making it more efficient and precise.

First information regarding passengers on airplane crash.
Now for the military to be honest with those onboard the helo.
Though, mainly I want to know pilot experience. Purpose of flight. Training or transport big shot.
Transponder thing odd as hell. I know nothing of aviation.

Not a conspiracy but a strange twist. A number of members of the US figure skating team were on this flight with a few coaches.
The entire US figure skating team was lost in a air crash in 1961, Brussels to NYC returning from the world championship.
That is just rather exceptional odds.
Saw a headline, Russian skating team onboard.
Attributed to Kremlin.
Assuming this is accurate, No Coincidences.

Note that she comes out in September 2018 about her connection to the A21 NGO, a NGO based in the UK…
Well we know the wealthy Pedos LOVE child affiliated NGOs and the UK is filthy with Pedophilia.

EXCERPT: “….Let’s take a look at some of the federal grants taxpayers have been forced to pay for, the kind of questionable-at-best funding the Trump administration is trying to clip. The Dirty Dozen, according to a review conducted for The Federalist by OTB, includes federal funding for a girl’s running club in Gaza and money to develop a “diversity audit tool.”
Here’s what you’re paying for:
1. The State Department — $100,000 to Free to Run, Inc. The grant, which is set to expire at the end of May, was sold as a program for “Building Palestinian girls’ and young women’s resilience through … weekly running and wellness sessions.” Is Hamas on board with this girl empowerment initiative? Free to Run’s founder, Stephanie Case, is a division chief for the the terrorist-tied United National Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA).
Talk about confusion, Rep. Troy Nehls, R-Texas, told the Washington Examiner the Biden administration’s decision to fund the “Palestinian girls’ fun run confused “the hell” out of him.
“None of this sh*t surprises me, but these things frustrate the hell out of the American people,” Nehls said.
2. National Science Foundation — A two-year grant award expected to top $1.5 million to Florida State University to fund “Black Feminist Epistemologies: Building a Sisterhood in Computing.” The NSF abstract defends the award in part by noting that, “Recent studies reveal that Black women enrolled in undergraduate computing degree programs at predominantly white institutions (PWIs) attest to the lack of support, mentorship, and resources that impede their ability to complete their degrees.” Just who conducted said studies is not clear.
3. National Science Foundation — $119,520 for a conference titled “Re-imagining Biology Education Through Social Justice,” featuring a talk on “Gender-Inclusive Adaptations to Biology Teaching.” Imagine that.
4. Department of Agriculture — $717,000 to Ohio State University. The money is being used to solve the “cultural resistance in the USA and Europe [that] impedes the acceptance of insect proteins as food sources,” according to the project grant. The grant states that “to overcome cultural barriers, a multidisciplinary research initiative seeks to develop sustainable extraction methods for obtaining protein, lipids, and valuable components from insect meal.” This thing is funded through the end of August 2027.
5. National Science Foundation —$399,930 to Montana State University. This DEI project, funded through September 2027, is supposed to honor “indigenous knowledge” by “infusing native ways of knowing into engineering education,” but without engaging in the “misappropriation of indigenous knowledge.” What about misappropriation of taxpayer money?
6. Institute of Museum & Library Services — $352,799 to the University of Wisconsin System to investigate “play-based programs and spaces” at museums and develop a “diversity audit tool for practitioners to examine their play programs and spaces for diversity, equity, inclusion, accessibility, and belonging considerations.” The National Leadership grant, funded through the end of next year, is a DEI project “with a specific focus on play offerings for children 0-12.”
7. National Science Foundation $634,856, also to the University of Wisconsin System. The grant, funded through August 2027, provides federal tax dollars for the exploration of “urgent yet underexplored dimensions of equity-minded pedagogical change work in higher education.” This urgency of equity indoctrination includes “an 8-hour short course, where participants will learn about and identify how racial exploitation and settler colonialism have shaped not only the history of the geosciences, but also its current practices and disciplinary culture.”
8. National Endowment for the Humanities — $54,981 to support a “Critical Game Studies” minor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The grant program brought “rhetorical and literary theories together with feminist studies, queer studies and ethnic studies to investigate how game narratives shape and are shaped by power structures and cultural representations.” Game night will never be the same. How about some LGBTQ Scrabble? Or Feminist Yahtzee? Something special from Parker Brothers.
9. Department of Health and Human Services — $792,443 to the University of Texas-Austin. The five-year grant, funded through July 2029, promotes the testing of a hypothesis that “it is cisheteronormativity, the societal belief that everyone is cisgender and heterosexual, that increases risk for exposure to general ACEs [adverse childhood experiences], that cisheteronormativity leads to cisheterosexism, or SGM [social and gender minority]-identity based discrimination, mistreat and violence exposure, and that exposure to cisheterosexism.” What they said. How about the societal belief that this kind of pseudoscience shouldn’t be funded by taxpayers?
10. National Science Foundation — $445,600 to Ohio State University for the Girls* on Rock program, which strives to build “an inclusive outdoor STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts and Mathematics) and mentorship experience — increasing the diversity in the geosciences with respect to gender, race and ethnicity …” Wow. The program, funded through April 2027, offers rock climbing in the Rockies with a DEI twist.
11. Department of Health and Human Services — $600,000 to the University of Virginia. The grant, funded through July 2029, will help the people involved in this scheme to “identif[y] and measur[e] domains of structural ableism” which “parallels foundational work across other forms of structural oppression, such as structural racism, classism, ageism, sexism, and heterosexism.” That works out to about $100,000 per ism.
12. National Science Foundation — The NSF sure is busy. In this case, it doled out more than $112,000 to Rutgers University to develop “theory around processes of social control, state practices and human agency” about the deportation of “immigrants with criminal records.” The study, which concluded in 2022, was supposed to deepen the “understanding of the relationship between citizenship, the law, and policing practices that have so impacted racialized immigrant communities.” Perhaps Border Czar Tom Homan has a few choice words for “radicalized immigrant communities” about their handling of “immigrants with criminal records.” See also: The Laken Riley Act.”

Ah, finally we’ve struck epistemic gold. I can understand what the topic is. Well enough to know it’s a waste of money.
WTH did the “A” come from? STEAM???!!! STEAM punks?
How to make the sciences softer… much softer… like rotten fruit(s)…
Makes me think of Tom Lehrer’s zingers at the “soft” sciences (social science, etc.) in “The Professor’s Song” and “Sociology”…. geesh…
I didn’t want to ruin the flow by asking what Artsy type had to invade STEM subjects like that.
I’ve run into too many cases where the Arts-types have nothing but contempt for STEM (in spite of the fact that STEM has everything to do with having the leisure to do Arts), but we’re expected to be “well rounded” by taking their subjects. That SHOULD cut both ways, but somehow it doesn’t.
BOY ain’t that the truth!
I just want the artsy – socialists types to keep their mitts OFF science & engineering!
Just look at what it’s done for the GangGreens (Habeck et. al.) over here… no clue about tech whatsoever…
Yep.
They COULD have continued using the (strong nuclear) force…
It wouldn’t be so bad except then the MFers think their opinion on technical subjects is worth something…when they refused to learn ANYTHING about it.
That said, possibly it would go easier for them if colleges offered overview courses light on the math…since that seems to be the stereotypical roadblock for them.
(I’ve heard tell of people taking astronomy 101 as an elective, figuring surely there’s no hard stuff in THAT…bwahahaha!)
“Your first day in Astronomy 101 Class, and a heavenly body sits down next to you….
.
You owe yourself an Oly.”
Those were they days…
[He should have had “Lucky Lager” instead

They should be forced to take “The Physics of Mersenne” or something like that
Something like “String along with pitch”…. but that would have been decades before their time… despite the fact that Mitch Miller was head of Columbia Records (in the early 1960s
)…..

Duffy may regret that statement.
Best not to even enumerate possibilities at this stage!
Rookie mistake?
I think it was a communication mistake at this point, but we will have to see how it shakes out.
A message the entire population at large could learn from.
Nothing like an air disaster to bring out all the armchair pilots who have never flown an airplane and offer their professional take.
You see, they can sit down just as well as you do when in the left seat.
Therefore they are qualified.
/sarc
You have flight experience.
There is never just one thing (reason for) an aviation accident. We think of them as links in a chain…each link a contributing factor. The goal of aviation safety is to break the chain before an incident or accident, which is accomplished with many rules, methods, and procedures.
I think one of the links in this accident is the late runway change which the RJ crew accepted, changing the runway of intended landing, from Rwy 1 (in yellow below) to Rwy 33 (in blue).
As seen below, Rwy 1 parallels the river and helo Route 4 (in red), whereas an approach to land Rwy 33 intersects the helo route.
If the helo crew thought the RJ was landing Rwy 1 (yellow arrow), then even with the controlled telling the helo to “pass behind the RJ” the helo crew would have simply said “OK”, NOT realizing there was a converging flight path.
Additionally, flying at night is a very, very different animal. For one one thing, a helo’s anti-collision lights can be EXTREMELY difficult to see against the background lights of the city. Very, very easy to mistake an ambulances lights for anti-collision lights on an aircraft, for example.
If the helo crew believed the RJ was landing Rwy 1, they would not have considered the RJ to be a threat, and, at the same time, the RJ crew could easily have believed the helo crew was aware of the late ATC directed runway change and they simply did not see the helo (for the reasons given above).
Again, flying at night under visual rules is a very, very tricky animal. And this is especially true at low altitudes.
Concur on all of that (for what little that’s worth coming from me).
My night flying was extremely limited (bare minimum to get the “ticket”); I can readily imagine the visibility issue.
Excellent analysis.
Durbin is a nauseating liar.

He lives up to his first name.
Excellent. First few minutes are muted so it’s not your computer.
Yet another reason for the helo mishap. They don’t want you watching this.
America will learn much from this hearing.
Here’s the Tillis Bingo card he mentions. We know we trust Tillis as far as we can throw him but it’s time like this when these creeps have to earn back our respect that benefits us.

RFK JR: “20 years ago NIH scientists did a study on amyloid on Alzheimer’s in which they said it was caused by amyloid plaque. After that NIH shut down studies of any other hypothesis. Twenty years later we now know that those studies were fraudulent. NIH has funded 800 studies on a fraudulent hypothesis and we’ve lost 20 years in figuring out how to a cure for Alzheimer’s. And that’s just one example. I could give you hundreds. We need to end that.”

Thanks, new author! I appreciate you.
Not new. T3 used to do our Sunday posts long ago
. He also hand picked Bakocarl to take over for him if my memory serves.
AHA! Got me with a name change, lol.
Me two.
See reply to para for backstory details.
T3 is an excellent poster. Im glad she said giddyup!
Noted!
Thank You!
Yes, original account was Think Think Think which somehow turned into T3. At some point WP mangled that account and to save more hassle for Wolf I just created a new account for Gudthots. As I remember it, Bakocarl stepped up when I let Wolf & Tree know that I need to step away for a while. I did not hand pick him. He appeared at just the right time. Oh, and BTW, I hold an electrical engineering degree, love building/construction, working with my hands, climbing trees, etc. While it seemed everyone just assumed I was a guy, this is not so. I never corrected the record, sort of allowing the mistake to be a little bit of “digital camouflage” at the time. I’m haven’t done anything as amazing in my life, but you might see more of my lineage and looks from my younger years from a picture of Lady Mary Heath.
A bio from the Irish Times:
That was my original major in college (though I took the computer science option).
Computer Engineering had just become a thing and if I had taken just a couple more courses I could have had a double major with CompSci. Came in handy working on embedded systems. I also got started early in life in small bits of publishing experience of various kinds. Which helped every time a contract used a different platform for development and documentation.
Not everyone!
Having done this myself (several tech platforms assumed my gender wrongly, years ago), I figured you didn’t need or want anybody’s help correcting the record!
Your not the only one here that’s confused me on guy/gal thing and tree climbing is a big plus!
I’ll second this (except for the “new author” part, which is beside the point anyway).
Thank you for taking on Thursdays!
So, now it appears, training flight, three onboard. No big shot onboard.
I expect we will see a lot of bad info out there.
Suspicious cat wants to know why the change in runway was requested. If the plane had been on set to land on the original runway I believe it would have been further away from the helicopter’s flight path.
This is a good question and I can imagine a couple of perfectly reasonable reasons for it.
However, I would be speculating.
I am sure this question has already been asked by White Hats a lot closer to the situation.

It’s finally getting close to being enough.
“Too much winning” means so much so fast the DemonRats and Fake News have no hope of countering it.
I feed birds every day in my yard including ducks. All wild. Never have we had symptoms of illness like bird flu. Knock on wood.

So true too. DD knows that testing for bird flu isn’t usually done or not properly if at all. A dead bird? Well, get rid of your flock, it MUST be bird flu.
WORSE the USDA WILL NOT ALLOW a chicken farmer to ISOLATE an ill chicken per a neighbor who raises chickens for a living.
I am so proud of Kash Patel as well as PDT for having nominated him.
Kash will be a great FIB Director. In the future, may even refer to FIB, as FBI.

The terrible or terrific (depending on your point of view) brilliance of Trump’s mass-firing plan begins to emerge from the fog of war. The Democrats are realizing they are playing major catch-up.
Dumrats can NOT keep up with Trump’s torrid pace. Trump will continue this pace.

He wasn’t scheduled to be on the fateful flight, but a different one going to Atlanta, but the part about his dog not being allowed on is true. In any event, no doubt he is devastated.

Quick note – this went into the moderation bin again, because the name was Brrezzy, not Breezzy.

Verse of the Day for Thursday, January 30, 2025
✟
“Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.”
Psalms 103:1 (KJV)
1-5 By the pardon of sin, that is taken away which kept good things from us, and we are restored to the favor of God, who bestows good things on us. Think of the provocation; it was sin, and yet pardoned: how many the provocations, yet all pardoned! God is still forgiving, as we are still sinning and repenting. The body finds the melancholy consequences of Adam’s offence, it is subject to many infirmities, and the soul also. Christ alone forgives all our sins; it is he alone who heals all our infirmities. And the person who finds his sin cured, has a well-grounded assurance that it is forgiven. When God, by the graces and comforts of his Spirit, recovers his people from their decays, and fills them with new life and joy, which is to them an earnest of eternal life and joy, they may then be said to return to the days of their youth, #Job 33:25|.

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.

COUNT IT ALL JOY
At daybreak, God coaxes you out of your sleep;
At first light, God’s blessings you’ll surely reap;

From His bountiful harvest you will draw!
In silence, thoughts of God will fill your mind;
His presence in you – know God has defined;
Open your heart and receive His great love;
His grace and His blessing sent from above!
Sing unto God – Sing a new song today;
As His Spirit indwells – shows you the way;
Praise Him – oh, Praise Him with all of your heart;
From you, He promised He would not depart!
Draw from His strength – as He dwells within you;
Without Him, there is – nothing – you can do;
Give Him this day – your sorrow and pain;
Repent of your sins – please do not refrain!
Tell Him you love Him – and thank Him outright;
For all that He does – what He brings to light;
For a smile – a kind word – encouragement, too;
For what He accomplishes through me and you!
Count it all joy – raise your voice strong in song;
Be grateful – be joyful – to Him you belong;
Your sorrows – your happiness – give it to Him;
And His Spirit – will fill your heart to the brim!
Rely on Him – do nothing – without His consent;
In your prayer – be mindful He’s omnipresent;
Give Him this day your acceptance and pray;
You can count it all joy at the end of the day!

The “Joaynn” quote above is not Scriptural. “Speak overflow, increase, prosperity. Declare, it’s already done!” It looks like prosperity gospel material. Nowhere in Scripture are we told that if we speak something, it will happen.
I’m pointing this out because it’s crucial not to mix the messages of men, which are heretical unless they comport with what the Bible says, with the messages of Scripture.
It smacks of Marxist/Hegel philosophy
Amen!
The “Name it and claim it” under another guise. We should be praying for GOD’S WILL to be done, and that our will aligns with GOD’S…
(I always think of that scene in Bells of St. Marys, where Sister Benedict says “may GOD’S WILL be our will” (at 1:04:54)… she has it inverted, as the context shows)…
KNOWING THE POWER OF YOUR WORDS AND HOW IT CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE
Date Teaching Given: March 4-8, 2024
Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5
Introduction
“Death and life are in the power of the tongue…” Prov. 18:21 (NKJV)
“You are snared by the words of your mouth…” Prov. 6:2 (NKJV)
“For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.” Matt. 12:37 (NKJV)
https://www.jgminternational.org/teachings/knowing-the-power-of-your-words-and-how-it-can-change-your-life
I was reading and disagreeing with certain things, and then I went to the link and no wonder: it’s heretical false prophet Julie Green.
She uses this as an argument for the power of words:
Words were used by the Creator, Almighty God. We do not have His power. That alone negates her message, IMO. It is dishonest.
She says:
Prosperity gospel adherents twist Scriptural admonitions and passages about the power of the spoken word to mean that we can speak things into existence, which is solely the purview of God. This is heresy.
Further, she notes that “God’s character is reflected in His names,” which is conflating two different subjects. In no way does that mean that human beings have the power to speak things into existence; yet she disingenuously uses it as evidence of “the power of words.” No, the names of God are not about power in the words WE use; they are about the majesty, greatness, and holiness of God Himself.
There have been multiple belief systems, many of them ancient by todays standards, that believe that words formed this world and when you examine their thought on what they mean it’s not easy to argue against.
I’m not sure what you’re saying or why any belief system besides Christianity, for a Christian, would matter in how we live our lives. My point is that there is a difference between the words that God speaks and the words that man speaks. There are words of God and there are words of men, and the two are not the same.
AMEN!
John 1:1-5:
1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
I just went to that link, and while there are a couple of places where Ms. Green errs as you say, 99.9% of what she says is Biblical, IMO.
Speaking only for myself, I cannot dismiss everything she says, simply because of a couple of excessive statements. I just try to be discerning about everything she says.
Here’s an example (I’m sure you saw this one).
She does have a valid point about free men and women, buried underneath that bad wording (which is extremely ironic, but I digress), and that valid point is theologically consistent with the founding of our nation and the theology of very devout and trustworthy voices of that time.
BUT
BUT
BUT
Saying that we have, right now, the authority and dominion of “pre-Fall” Adam?
REALLY?
She’s just in error.
That said, she cites a lot of great scripture, and she has important points that our words DO matter.
And hers do, too. So much so, that we are right to both listen to her, AND to critique her, when we feel that she has misspoken.
I can benefit by reading her – I just watch out for the errors.
SPEAK LIFE AND BLESSING
When we face challenges out of the blue
Our first instinct might be what went askew
We wonder what it was that caused the rift
Not recognizing what hit was a gift
We tend to take what occurs personally
Like some sort of punishment deservedly
When really it was nothing of the sort
Nor to the extent of fault to report
We have free will to make our choices
And that includes how we use our voices
We can rant and rave and complain why me
Or we can speak life and blessing to be
We are all prone to the seven deadly
We can speak out a tirade in medley
We can side with that demonic attack
Give negative thoughts credence right back
The effect of the weight we have laid down
Will surely defeat us cause us to drown
In a sea of self-pity barely function
Until we reach a decision junction
The difference between blessing and curse
Is the curse tends to make our plight much worse
It augments into a vicious cycle
We are less fruitful not at all vital
Speak life and blessing for each consequence
A positive outlook just makes more sense
It energizes God-given gifts in you
The Spirit inside comes alive when you do

HAVE A VERY BLESSED DAY !!!


Trumps 11AM address. Includes his opinions.
Trump absolutely DESTROYS the Dems and their DEI bullshit.
^^^ Thankfully.
Listening now.
Love the way he FIGHTS with the RABID enemedia Demmunists.
Let me tell you if I were flying big iron the last thing I’d want is the voice at the other end of the radio having an epilepctic seizure.
(The FAA policy PDJT read listed epileptics among others.)
IMHO, POTUS should NOT be weighing in on this matter. Too much PR risk.
$.02
To much risk not too.
$.02
Leadership. IMO.
Have not finished listening to Trump / Q&A. Toggling between hearings. Have not heard anything I’d view as damaging or out to lunch.
Very risky, but it was the perfect opportunity to tell the world what Obama and Biden did – in particular REVERSING Trump’s policy.
The “mentally ill” – whoops – I mean “neurodivergent” ATC thing that Obama and Biden pushed – it just deserves to be taken down hard.
The way I see it, Trump is safe calling out ANY weakening of requirements.
…calling out ANY weakening of requirements.
Seems to be his common theme. Parallel Woke, DEI…
Without knowing anything about who was working ATC (and whether they were in any of the groups the FAA decided were desirably diverse) I agree with you here…we have a PERFECT focused moment to explain the possible consequences of this policy.
I haven’t seen the whole thing. So I don’t know if he started opining on actual aviation or not (at which point, depending, 4FG&C could be spot on).
He used the occasion to talk of DEI being put in place for controllers by Bite-me (& Obummer) and read some of the crappola put out by Buttgag. He did not say this was caused by DEI he just brought up the subject.
It was very neatly done in such a way that the accident is now connected to DEI controllers WITHOUT stepping into a trap. The Fake News tried to trap POTUS and put words in his mouth but he swatted them down.
SWEET!
DEI could very well be the helo pilot(s).
Also. cleared 200′ Flying ~400′.
From what I have seen thus far, that helicopter was just…wrong.
However, my mind can be changed, since I don’t know what I don’t know, and I know that I don’t know what I don’t know.
I bet it was significant controller error
1. Late runway change
2. The controller did not make it clear to the helo crew that he had cleared an aircraft to land Rwy 33, and the helo’s threat was coming from the left.
3. I STRONGLY suspect…at this point…the helo crew was focused on a an aircraft set up to land on Rwy 1 that was FOLLOWING the RJ landing on 33 and never considered the jet on their left as a threat (if they even saw it).
It was a “situational awareness” error on the part of the helo crew, that was precipitated and created by unclear ATC tower instructions that lacked critical information.
Links in a chain.
Yep. They were wrong…but this is likely WHY they were wrong.
The one thing that sticks out to me are claims about the helicopter’s altitude. OTOH they may have been cleared to do so, which goes right back to ATC.
The chain analogy is taught in my Jeppesen textbook, by the way (I hope that doesn’t surprise you).
I feel bad for the controller.
He knew what was happening and tried to prevent it.
That is clear from the tapes.
Just a wee bit of laziness and/or distraction on his part.
Class B airspace is no joke.
Truer words never spoken.
Just to be clear to others…
When the controller told the helo “pass behind the landing jet”, he did NOT say “the jet cleared to land Rwy 33”. Lacking this clarity, it would EXTREMELY easy for the helo crew to believe the controller was talking about another jet that was landing on Rwy 1 that was in trail (behind) the RJ landing on Rwy 33.
My experience with ATC was so limited this helped me as well.
I’m reading all three helo pilots were experienced. One name released so far. Ryan O’Hara. Trump seemed to focus more on air traffic controllers when he spoke earlier today. I think he knows more than he is saying at this point.
https://www.atlantanewsfirst.com/2025/01/30/gwinnett-county-high-school-grad-identified-crew-chief-blackhawk-helicopter-that-crashed-dc/
I got that far (just a bit over a third of the way in), and yes…this is the time to bring that up.
Sometime before it happens for real that a DEI hire kills people.
Well, here’s the thing; there doesn’t have to have been a “diverse” person actually on shift for their hiring to cause basic problems.
For example, if you are a perfectly fine and capable ATC who has had to take up slack for a blue-haired, nose-ringed, incapable gay dude who was working with you yesterday and the day before, you may be overtaxed to the point of making errors you generally would not.
Making up for the deficiencies of others is unfair, but I guarantee you it is happening across government.
In healthcare also.
Exactly.
From Daily Mail
Others have said the helicopter should not have been flying at over 200 ft. It was around 400+ft
The sheer unlikliness of this crash is hightly questionable but gets the cherry put on top when one considers that there are literally no high profile Russians running around the USA right now and the one tiny group that is here gets their plane destroyed.
I’m sure the Russians are looking at this as deliberate targeting by the outgoing administration as am I.
“… Trump is safe calling out ANY weakening of requirements….”
Agreed.
ALSO “a lie can travel halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its boots on” is in play.
POTUS Trump has now put it into people’s heads that DEI turned DEADLY and I could be the next one killed. This is a very good psychological move.
If the cause is found to be a error pointing to incompetence, it will dovetail easily with DEI.
I did find it interesting that Trump said that the Army CID was one of the agencies that was going to examine this event yet not one reporter asked him if there was going to be a criminal investigation.

BREAKING: Marsha Blackburn just GLORIOUSLY called out all the Democrats who fear Kash Patel’s confirmation. The Epstein Client List is coming!
Blackburn: “Why are the Democrats so afraid of you?”
Patel: “I don’t know, Senator. You’d have to ask them.”
Blackburn: “I wanna talk to you about the Epstein case. I have worked on this for years, trying to get those records of who flew on Epstein’s plane and who helped him build this international human trafficking s*x trafficking ring.”
“Now earlier, I urged then Chairman Durbin to subpoena those records, and I ended up being blocked by Senator Durbin and Christopher Ray.”
“They stonewalled on this, and I know that breaking up these trafficking rings is important to President Trump.”
“So will you work with me on this issue so we know who worked with Jeffrey Epstein in building the s*x trafficking rings?”
Patel: “Absolutely, Senator. Child s*x trafficking has no place in the United States of America. And I will do everything, if confirmed as FBI director, to make sure the American public knows the full weight of what happened in the past.”
Bingo
That couple from Ark. are calling in all the chips there do.
Truth is that list could possibly break the camels back…..
Mini ground-report:
Last night, Yours Truly had family dinner with MD son, MD DIL, and family. DIL’s mother was there; her husband (they married got married last month) was not. All at the table, except for Yours Truly, has been “fully vaccinated and boosted”; in a couple of cases, multiple times.
DIL’s mother: Cataracts, which have been a source of trouble PRE-COVID-19, are now inoperable. She now uses specially-made eyedrops that are about $2,000 a bottle. She now also has to go every month and have an injection to keep the cataracts somewhat under control. Even with all this, she says her vision is “bad.”
The new husband of DIL’s mother: Had corneal transplant surgery 10 years ago (completely successful.) However, after getting “fully vaccinated and boosted”, problems began to develop in the transplanted corneas. The decision was made to remove the original transplants and insert new ones. This surgery was performed last week, starting with the right eye first. The surgeon who performed the operation is apparently a recognized expert in the field.
Apparently, the eye is rejecting the new transplanted cornea. Much pain, he can’t see out of his right eye. Has to go back and possibly have the surgery re-done. I hope whatever procedure is performed next, is successful.
Based on Steve Kirsch’s experience with his eye issue (retina bleed) after his COVID-19 “vaccinations”, Yours Truly did a search regarding corneal transplant rejection after COVID-19 “vaccination.” Yup — it happens:
https://journals.law.com/corneajrnl/abstract/2022/01000/acute_corneal_transplant_rejection_after_covid_19.19.aspx
“Acute Corneal Transplant Rejection After COVID-19 Vaccination”
Amar P. Shah, MD, MBA
January 2022
Also found here: https://doi.org/10.1097/ICO.0000000000002878
Yours Truly: In the cases described in the paper, there had been PREVIOUS successful corneal transplant procedures PRIOR to the patients getting COVID-19 “vaccinated.”
Many years ago I had two options…one was a procedure that when described gave me the heebie jeebies and all that would do was prevent the problem from getting worse…contacts would compensate for it. And the other was a corneal transplant. As soon as I heard the word “rejection,” I said, “no way.”
This was well before COVID by the way…I just didn’t want to deal with the possibility of transplant rejection unless I absolutely had to.
There were MANY reports of transplant rejection after the mRNA COVID vaccines went out – including many rejections of previously stable transplants. IIRC, the majority of these reports were corneal transplant rejections.

Yours Truly is sitting at the dinner table last night at MD son’s house, thinking, “I bet there’s a COVID-19 “vaccination” link here” regarding DIL’s mother’s new husband and his corneal transplant issues. She was saying that the transplant doctor’s opinion was, “Sorry about that, every once in a while, there’s a rejection.” And all I could do was to say, “Well, I hope everything works out.”

Good. Trump is giving them enough rope to hang themselves.

WOW! This moment right here is why President Trump picked Tulsi Gabbard. Sen. Kelly said he doesn’t like how she doesn’t blindly believe whatever the intel agencies say about Iran, Russia, & Syria, and she responded perfectly, “Senator, every American deserves to know that people in our own government were providing support to our sworn enemy, Al Qaeda. That should not be acceptable by anyone.” Tulsi is going to crush the deep state when she gets in. I can’t wait.
Again, no note of how “Criminal justice system” can be read two ways.

The hostility @RobertKennedyJr experienced at his hearing was directly proportional to how much Pharma money each Senator received. In fact, each of them simply repeated the same attacks we just saw flood the mass media (all of which were blatant lies).

Great to know.
Wonder which R-Cons get Big Pharma bucks and how much.
No free passes for R-Cons here.
Tillis?
Yandex AI
Hmmm. $82K, which pales in comparison to the SatanoDEMONRAT list above.
Having said that, it’s still greater-than-zero, and there are perhaps other, smaller donations not shown….
I just asked about Tillis and Pfizer
Of course that does not include stock owned by family…
No wonder Tillis took a cheap shot trying to kill RFK Jr confirmation.

Missed second day of RFK Jr hearing. Anybody tune in? Thoughts?
Thought Patel did great. Dumrats full on panic mode. Thoughts?
Tulsi seemed to be doing well.
Too much going on at once! I’ve missed a lot of it and have only seen a few videos. The Dems’ self-righteous outrage at things the nominees have said is disgusting to me. I guess if the situation were reversed, our side would also be outraged at things said. But it’s so off-putting when the questioners are guilty themselves of either crimes or, at the least, supporting destructive policies.
BREAKING: Initial FAA Report Indicates Staffing at DCA Air Traffic Control Tower Was “Not Normal” at Time of Chopper-Plane Collision
A preliminary FAA report indicated that staffing at the DCA Air Traffic Control tower was “not normal” at the time of the helicopter-plane collision.
According to NBC News, at the time of the collision, one controller was overseeing both helicopter and airplane traffic.
Typically, one controller focuses on helicopter activity.
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/01/breaking-initial-faa-report-indicates-staffing-air-traffic/
Wow. I think Trump knew this before his briefing. Explains the ATC focus.
Can you imagine the flood of whistle-blowers coming out of the woodwork in the last 30 days??
I hope Trump has set up a special office for it.
I am fairly sure he had some knowledge of it but may not have had it confirmed.
The accident was around 9pm Wednesday, his press conference was at 11am. this morning. More than enough time for him to know the people who were in that tower IMO.
Pretty sure he’s the type of boss who wants answers when he ask the questions.
Passing this along from the comments section at GP~~~
I’m gonna repost this comment rod_fitzwell shared on another article:
Per Washington Times story February 1, 2024
Vigilance is waning because the nation’s air traffic control towers are woefully understaffed. The people responsible for keeping planes from smashing into one another are tired after working long, mandatory overtime shifts to make up for the lack of controllers.
Contributing to the shortage, the FAA temporarily put the brakes on hiring in 2012 so it could replace race-blind hiring rules with a “Biographical Assessment” stratagem designed to hire more minorities.
This quiz served as further screening of applicants who had already graduated from a 200-hour training program and achieved high scores on AT-SAT, a grueling, 8-hour cognitive test that measures each of the specific skills needed to do the job properly.
The questionnaire sought irrelevant information such as “college subject in which I received my lowest grade.” Those answering “history/political science” received 15 points. Playing 4+ sports in high school was worth 5 points.
By contrast, holding a pilot’s license — a major advantage for a controller — was worth only 2 points. And having valuable experience as an air traffic controller in the military was worth ZERO points.
Andrew Brigida became lead plaintiff in the lawsuit after his application was turned down despite his achieving a perfect, 100% score on the AT-SAT.
Mr. Brigida’s attorneys claim there was a method to the madness. Race-hustling activist groups conspired with FAA officials to create the quiz
More than 3,000 top-performing, motivated applicants lost out because they weren’t members of this ethnic club. After Congress forced the FAA to drop the quiz in 2018, many former applicants reapplied and since become controllers.
The information that gets left is out is how many made it through the ”selection process” and rose through the ranks before the quiz was dropped in 2018?
That’s just friggin’ retarded.
These people aren’t just fucked up – they’re DANGEROUS.
Everything since Hussein was designed to destroy.
Building stuff is hard.
Breaking stuff is easy, even Hussein can do that.
The other controller was probably ‘working’ from home.
That’s funny.
BOOM! Kash Patel Fires Warning Shot at Pelosi During Senate Confirmation Hearing – Lays Blame for J6 Rioting Directly at the Feet of Nancy Pelosi (VIDEO)
Watch out, Nancy. Accountability is coming!
Senator Ted Cruz questioned Kash Patel on Thursday during his confirmation hearing in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee on Nancy Pelosi’s refusal to protect the US Capitol on January 6, 2021.
Finally, the truth is coming out!
Senator Ted Cruz: What were you doing on that day?
Kash Patel: On that day, specifically, responding to, preparing to mobilize and employ the National Guard once we got the lawful request from the local governing authority, which was the mayor of DC and the speaker of the House.
Senator Ted Cruz: Now, how many days in advance were you working to prepare the Department of Defense to help secure the Capitol on January sixth?
Kash Patel: Days in advance, Senator, we were in the oval office on an unrelated national security matter with the President of the United States, the Secretary of Defense, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and myself and the President authorized up to 20,000 plus National Guard men and women to secure any security measures necessarily related to the capital. We were moving to the fullest extent of the law before the requisite request came from a local governing authority days ahead of time.
Ted Cruz: While you were Chief of Staff at DOD, how many times did DOD approach Capitol Police and ask if they needed National Guard assistance?
Kash Patel: I believe those letters are well-documented numerous instances, and numerous of those instances, those requests were shut down.
Ted Cruz: Now, am I correct that the Capital Sergeant at Arms said assistance was unnecessary?
Kash Patel: That’s correct, Senator.
Ted Cruz: Who did the Sergeant at Arms report to?
Kash Patel: The speaker of the House.
Ted Cruz: That would have been Nancy Pelosi at the time. Is that correct?
Kash Patel: Yes, Senator.
Ted Cruz: Would that also be Chuck Schumer, then the Senate Majority Leader?
Kash Patel: The Sergeant at Arms, yes, Senator, reports up there.
Ted Cruz: Did Mayor Bowser, the Democrat elected mayor in DC, either request or allow National Guard assistance?
Kash Patel: She put in writing on the days leading up to January sixth, a declination for National Guard additional support, and that letter is available publicly to the world.
Ted Cruz: Just to speak English for folks at home, a declination meant she said, no, don’t send National Guard. Is that right?
Kash Patel:
Ted Cruz: Yes sir.

John Kennedy Rapid-Fire Questions Kash Patel About Hunter Biden, Hillary Clinton’s Lawyer, And More
I always like to hear Senator Kennedy.
I made it 3 minutes into Shifty Schiff’s crud about Kash promoting the recording of the J-6ers singing the National Anthem. Seems Schiff is ONLY concerned about the VIOLENT ATTACK on police and NOT on the deliberate MURDER of at least four protesters by those self same police. OR the unprovoked ATTACK with grenades (that may have killed 2 people) and out of spec pepper bullets.
If you want to see it:
Those Schiffty eyes… wonder if he is/was a $cieno… or just a nutcase…

Stupid beyotch doesn’t realize that different races are different, and have different medical issues. And she wasn’t even listening to him, intending entirely to make all about RAYCISSSSS…. She is dangerous, and most likely BOUGHT.
Oh, and it’s FeBRUary, NOT FebUary… twit….
This right here is why we will never be able to help blacks. There are differences between races, they are real and verifiable. But we can NOT talk about it, so we will never fix the problems. It just makes me sad.
She’s stupid, or ignorant, or both.
She is so blinded (or empowered) by race and victimology that she can’t accept that black people’s biology has different strengths and weaknesses compared to other races, just like any other race.
Sickle cell anemia is the most obvious example that occurs to me, blacks are far more likely to have it than people of other races.
Wiki: “The number of people with the disease in the United States is about 100,000 (one in 3,300), mostly affecting Americans of sub-Saharan African descent. In the United States, about one out of 365 African-American children and one in every 16,300 Hispanic-American children have sickle cell anaemia.”
Love this stuff. Little b!tch can’t handle it. These type scum buckets are embedded throughout government.
The woman who was walking with ‘Jamie’ sure did an immediate about face and walked away, must be another spook!

I have known all along that the affirmative action/DEI/etc. policies were destructive, but it has taken this plane crash and some other recent incidents to bring it home. Leftism/socialism/communism/globalism kills. The country would have taken a nose-dive, like a plane falling out of the sky, if a Dem had won in 2024.
Amen!
We’ve been very lucky, for a lot of years now.
We have indeed. We dodged a huge bullet in November!
I would have to say that those who are competent have successfully covered for the incompetent…up until now.
Here’s hoping for a reversal of the trend, because otherwise at some point there will be so few competent they won’t be able to do so.
I think blessed. God wasn’t ready for America to fail yet. Or Obama/Biden would have been the end, I think.
That entire list is utterly and truly insane.
Don’t think so? Consider…
Any person with any one of those conditions (save for 2, and only with special SODA’s <Statement of Demonstrated Ability>) could not get a FA medical certificate to be a pilot.
Or, for that matter, the certifications needed to be a long haul trucker.
So, you could get a blind, retarded, one-legged dwarf with bi-polar disorder as an Air Traffic Controller?!
Seriously, I’m dying laughing, but it’s really not funny.
Just as long as they can tan.
Ahhh…. UCSB graduate, eh?
(or Doonesbury…)
Somehow, I managed to graduate — and was as tan as I had ever been — and was still seriously pale.
Before and after I was there, I reverted to my normal coloring — which made me look like I was three days drowned.
I’ve always read that paralyzed blind toeless psychotics make the best air traffic controllers.
And Pinball Wizards.

Senator Hawley & Kash Patel on TARGETING based on religion
The only targeting based on religion that should take place in America is targeting of islam, until such time as islam can be eradicated from America.
islam is more than a religion, it is an entire socio-political system, it is hostile and aggressive toward any other system and seeks to displace it.
islam is incompatible with any other system, and always seeks to subvert and overtake any other system it encounters.
islam also teaches violence, oppression, slavery rape and murder, according to example and express teaching of its founder, Mo.
The history of islamic violence in America, just since 9/11, is more than adequate to require targeting by the government. There are islamic TERROR CELLS all over the country.

[DS] Panics Over Nominees, Accident Or Targeted Hit? Trump Preparing The Next Phase – Ep. 3560

https://x22report.com/ds-panics-over-nominees-accident-or-targeted-hit-trump-preparing-the-next-phase-ep-3560/
The green new scam is not just dead in the US but is spreading across the EU. The ECB has made it clear they will not have a bitcoin reserve. The ECB cut rates and Trump is now calling out the Fed for not cutting rates. He is going to show the people how to control inflation. The [DS] is panicking over Trump’s nominees, they know that once they are confirmed they will begin dismantling their criminal syndicate. In DC there was a helicopter and plane that collided. Was this an accident because of DEI or was this a targeted hit. Blackhawk pilots are trained to quickly maneuver. Trump is now creating EOs that he is preparing for the next phase of his plan, draining the swamp.

AA4514 can be seen on radar having to go around a make a second attempt, and is currently under investigation.
This should NOT be happening!
Want the good news?
YES!
Yes.
Best of all, AC went around safely. It happens. Have been on AC that went around. You’ve prolly gone around for any of a dozen reasons.
Your take is appreciated. Not to mention educational. Hell, humorous at times. I do recall a go around you wrote about years ago.
I’m sure he’ll be writing about this.
Well Kurt just went up a notch in my book.

Brandon Straka #WalkAway
@BrandonStraka
Just a quick reminder that I did not encourage anyone to take a shield from an officer on January 6th, and I did not stand outside the Capitol shouting for people to go inside.
These were 2 (of many) blatant falsehoods created by an FBI agent who made them up and then embraced by the prosecutors in my case, who charged me with 2 felonies based on these lies.
I was given 2 options:
1. Say I did these things and felonies will be dropped.
2. Go to trial on these things and lose. In which case I’m convicted of them anyway, but now I’m also a felon and going to prison for years.
Being forced to confess to something you didn’t do is one of the most spiritually and psychologically damaging things a person can go through, and you never get over the need to clear your name.
In the coming weeks I’m releasing 3 videos that use forensic evidence, led by accredited experts and investigators I hired, to show how this FBI agent lied about these allegations against me, and how these allegations destroyed parts of my life forever.
