I seem to have an extra sensitivity and irritation with "Truthers" not being accurate and honest in their podcasts. Admittedly, though, they cite their sources and sometimes play the source video or show a tweet from their source. But still, the info is incomplete and seems to either be bait or influence ops. Thought manipulations.
Examples: All Truthers calling out the RESTRICT Act with fearful warnings about it. It has only just been introduced in the Senate and assigned to committee! No further action. So, where are bills sposed to be introduced? The House? Not the Senate? Where's the related House bill? What is its status? Will it pass the Republican-led House within the new House Rules?

I need prayer because I really don't like fearmongering from anyone, but especially those who purport to tell the truth. Trust but verify.
I will trust God to lead me along the path of righteousness with the belt of Truth firmly around my waist and the Holy Spirit of Truth guiding my thoughts.
Oh Lord, please help me with my attitudes about others' trustworthiness.
EDIT: Oh, Lord, let me focus on the needs of others more than those of my own. Annestaan's comment reminds that there is always more significant things to lift up in prayer. Thank You for hearing all these prayers, large and small.
God is good. He will give wisdom to those that ask for it. If you are stuck on “false truth ers,” you may look into your priorities. My son died in 2015, my dad in 2017, my mom in 2021, my brother in 2022. My precious sister on April 6, 2023. You see, my trust in God has never wavered. The nonsense of politics is but a blip. False RINOS don’t even make my radar. That’s just me.
God is already working to restore the correct perspective through Your comment.
I am changing my prayer request to pray for you.
So very sorry for your losses, Annestaan! That is remarkable and more so that you can keep your head up high and continue to praise and trust God. What an amazing faith and how comforting for you that you know Him. I'm so glad you do. You are a great witness to everyone, and especially to the lost. God bless you.
Annestaan, I'm sorry for your losses. My son was murdered years ago and my dad took his own life in 2019, lost my mom in 1984 to cancer. I too am a believer and some days question why I am still here. My love for God has never wavered though I do question why my sweet son had to go. I miss him so much.😭😞
Dear Annestaan, thank you for your testomony of your unshakable believe and trust that God is good. Yes, he is!
And I am sorry to hear about the loss of your family. That is terrible in this short time of only eight years. Thank you, you strong standing soul, for shining the light for all of us in these dark times.
It is disappointing when you learn those you thought were trustworthy, really aren't. Even some of the biggest conservative channels use clickbait in their thumbnails. Just like the msm, it's all about sensationalizing and fearmongering. But at least you are ON to them now, fren! Just think of the poor souls who fall for their baloney. I will pray that God gives you discernment and patience. It's okay to let some of your favorites fall to the wayside when you find them declining. Perhaps they even mean well, but the pressure to produce, Produce, PRODUCE content overwhelms them and they start rushing and making bad decisions. Anyway, now you know.
Thanks, gobby.
Might as well face it You're addicted to prayer
The best addiction I have had so far.
Well, I'll include you in my prayers, but only to thank God for giving you discernment. These "truthers" are lock step with each other, just the same as the MSM. One breathlessly reports something, five others pick up on it, three more come along to pick a big fight with everyone, then they all make up and go back into their little holes to wait for the next "BREAKING BOMBSHELL" they can pretend like they researched and discovered. Don't be upset with yourself for recognizing what is absolutely true. They are not trustworthy.
Well put. It's a form of attention seeking. But beyond that, I think it promotes doubt and fear. "Truth" is often slippery enough without insisting on alternate theories that mostly boil down to paranoid denial of absolutely everything.
Let's pray for them to the One who is trustworthy. And still seek what is true. One day we will see the Truth. I look forward to that day--when completeness, perfection, comes.
Heavenly Father, I pray that you help our friend and ourselves with the need of accuracy and truth. Show us and other anons that no one is intentionally misleading but sometimes are lacking in information to complete their posts. Give us the help we need for those who sometimes need to finish in order for the rest of our community to pass truthful information. Let us not hold malice or anger towards them as they too are imperfect. And please Lord, let us not offend any of them. We know Lord that they are not with intent to omit anything of great importance, but that it sometimes happens. For this Lord we pray for calmness and serenity. Keep us all in truth with your armor upon us as we help clear the path you have sent us on. Grant us patience with our attitudes so as not to hurt others feelings but instill in them that a truthful post is a complete and honest one. We thank you and bless you Lord for the path you have set us on and the job you have bestowed upon us. In Jesus' name we ask all things. Amen.
Amen.
The House/Senate origination rules were tossed out years ago. This was an issue when Dems controlled the Senate (under Bush?) But the RINOs had the House. The Uniparty still played ball, because at that point they knew they didn't need to hide any more.
If the House Rules were not enacted anew this year, then why the 15 rounds of voting for the House Speaker?
The easy answer is Repubs suck at everything they do....
Kek, but not really.
