Anyone know a good place to get some nice Trump paintings/prints
Spent the past 72 relatively disconnected from Truth Social and the Internet in general. I have some time to collect my thoughts on what the hell happened last week and why the cheating was continued to allow to happen, if the WH has this cheating situation under control.
My thoughts is that it is needed to:
1.) Demonstrate to the general public at this point how real this election fraud is, probably also a prelude to the evidence that Trump will present in Georgia soon, and more importantly,
2.) To embarrass Ronna McDaniel and the RINOs enough that the RNC membership will have to force a change in leadership in time for the 2024 elections.
The second point had me thinking for the longest time. If Trump wanted to have McDaniel out, then why is there no word from Donald Trump on Truth Social calling for a change in leadership in the RNC after the 2022 elections? It is probably because people are very much content with the massive influx of GOP Congressmen that kicked out Piglosi from her position. Also, Trump was proud of the overwhelming success his endorsements have been, so to turn around and demand RNC leadership change would not been the wisest move for him.
Now that the GOP has been dealt a black eye in what supposed to be a cakewalk election, it is a wakeup call that something must change in the RNC before the 2024 election cycle can get started. Trump probably needs their resources secured, if only to make sure it does not become a loose end that will compromise Trump's position. Maybe it is time for Trump to start making noise? We should wait and see. However, we should not be surprised if Trump does not make a peep on Truth Social, if only to keep his battle plans a secret.
What do you think, are my thoughts on point, or are there gaps that needs to be filled in.
I have a four year old son I watch all day, and it's a blessing, but he has energy. From my observations, probably more energy than his peers - which is probably due to him being raised by me, his dad, and his mom, my wife, as opposed to nannys or teachers.
Anyway, there's a lot of sitting around reading and talking while he plays fairly loudly in the yard. He loves to build enormous structures out of old boxes, garden posts, etc as well as "Dig to China" with his shovels (yes, we taught him that phrase). He never stops talking, and has pretty much destroyed the backyard. 🤷♂️
I'm currently trying to keep him busy doing such so that Mom can grab a 15 minute "break". He's trying to find every excuse in the book to go inside: I'm hungry, I already dug a hole, there's nails in the yard!, I've blinded myself with dirt! Etc.
I'm just stoicly repeating the phrase "Keep digging" and ignoring him. Feels like talking to an anon.
More passion, more passion More energy, more energy, more energy More foot work, more foot work, or foot work More ENERGY

I need guidance from those of you that believe in Jesus Christ. Maybe I need to say a special prayer and read a certain scripture, IDK. For most of my adult life at times I think about the worst that can happen to my loved ones. I think that's normal especially if you are a realist. I've talked to my husband about it because I really thought I was overreacting. He said he thought everyone thinks about the worst especially when you are older and have responsibilities to loved ones.
I once mentioned this in a women's bible study and an old woman told me I was living in fear. I didn't put much stock in her advice because that same night I learned the church I had been attending was not a place I felt comfortable. I'm not judging anyone for their beliefs but it's not for me and I don't agree with it. (If you do I don't judge you) They mentioned Sunday night's was the real church when they spoke in tongues. So, I didn't return to Bible study or church. (I'm not trying to start that conversation just telling the backstory and maybe she was right IDK)
Last night I had the worst dream I've ever had. It involved death and I won't even speak it because it scared me so much. I woke up confused and crying. I'm not a cryer, can count on both hands the times I've cried since I was teenager. It's probably from adapting a tough attitude to get through my childhood and teenage years at home. Doesn't mean I'm not loving.
My question, do you think I'm living in fear or is it the devil on my back. The past two years have been a very hard struggle and if you don't know my story I should have died in February and I didn't thanks to God and a damn good medical staff. (I still don't trust the establishment but I'm living proof you might need them.)
I personally think it's the devil messing with me. I've been a Christian most of my adult life, not in church the past twenty years for multiple reasons. Mainly I might have lost faith in the hypocrital church but never in God! I've had chronic pain half my life since 1998. It changed my life and I learned to live with it. I've never asked God why me? I just had faith he would get me through it. I've had faith in God way before I knew about salvation. I could feel a presence in my life always protecting me even as a young child. I know God put certain people in my life that loved and protected me. I still feel that protection. Also I've felt a huge pull to read the Bible and get better with prayer. In my twenties & thirties I read the Bible a lot but no so much in the past years. Thanks for reading my babbling. I know I'm not crazy! Just trying to figure this out because I'm not a dark person and have always been happy even though I have dark memories as well as very happy memories growing up in addition to 35 years of a very happy marriage. Probably more happiness than some get in a lifetime.
I just wanted to say I think that your concerns are valid, and I’m glad that you brought them to other peoples attention. Perhaps a few words.
Definitely God’s word says we should FEAR NOT It is written in the Bible over 365 times. https://www.soulshepherding.org/fear-not-365-days-a-year/
However; if Satan wants to get a chink in our armor, he will. How do we fight off these attacks? We read God’s Word daily, and surround yourself with other Bible believing Christians.
If you’re not doing it already, read God’s Word daily. Read one psalm, and one proverb. If you want to do more, start in the book of Matthew and work your way through the New Testament again. I’m doing that now and I’m really enjoying it.
I have a YouTube playlist of Christian music. Play Christian music in your home, even when you’re not home, and the devil will flee from your home. He hates Jesus, the name of Jesus, and any worship music.
You mentioned you have not been going to church, well… that’s not a requirement to be saved, however… I found after returning back to church, that my life has been much fuller, and the friendships that I have, lift me up and allow for other people to pray for me, and for me to pray for them.
Find yourself a nondenominational Bible, believing church something like a Calvary Chapel where they read the Bible, chapter by chapter verse by verse. Once you do that, get yourself into a women’s Bible study. I swear by these Womens Bible Study’s. The women are wonderful, and have been such a Support to me. It sounds like you had a bad experience, so hopefully you can find a group where you feel you belong.
Also, if you’re married, and you and your husband begin to go to church together, he can find a men’s Bible study, and they can help build each other up. Also, with the uncertainty of times ahead, it’s good to have a group of men that would be willing to stand together during tough times.
If you ever wake up from a bad dream, or even if you’re in a dream, cry out to the name of Jesus. Bind Satan and send him packing.
I’m sorry you’re going through this difficult time right now and it does seem like you are being attacked. Put on the whole armor of God, Ephesians 610-20.
I will be praying for you.
Thank you for your kindness and great advice. I apologize I didn't respond sooner I've been busy and took a break also. I'm popping in today to catch up. I try not to get into self pity it doesn't help me or those around me. I'm very blessed with a wonderful daughter and husband. I'm still going through a medical situation but I'm on the mend. I'm trying to focus more on my mind and spiritual growth and the rest will settle itself. I'm excited to dig into the scriptures you mentioned. I hope you have a great Thanksgiving and weekend.
God bless you and your family and I hope that you have a fantastic Thanksgiving.
The first thing God would say in the Old Testament when he spoke to individuals was “Fear not!” Have faith because God is in control.
Also, the miraculous gifts bestowed to the apostles and then to others by the apostles, stopped. They were given to them by the Holy Spirit to prove the gift of the Holy Spirit received during baptism was real. Christians have the spirit inside as their guide to right and wrong. We live by our faith in Christ and what he’s done for us, and not looking to miraculous signs today. This is NOT to say miracles do not happen. Just know that miracles occur by faith in God.
I appreciate you replying to my post about God and the devil on my back. I apologize it's taken me several days to reply.
You said Fear not!” Have faith because God is in control
Thanks for the reminder. I hope you have a great Thanksgiving and have a good weekend.
God bless you on this day of rest frens.
So, we all know Taylor Swift is bad news... and her and Tracis Kelce from the KC Chiefs are dating now. Apparently in her show last night she changed a word in her song "karma" to a chief is coming home to me.. idk saw it on fb. Which is obsessed with these two.
Of course, if you follow football, NFL, Travis kelce play for KC Chiefs his Brother Jason Kelce the Philadelphia Eagles. The Mom is very devoted. Donna. Actually the whole famy. Interesting. A bunch of the GA bulldawgs got recruited to the Eagles in the draft. Ya'll know I'm an avid Dawg fan.
I'm just wondering what's up, all of a sudden with the swift, kelce thing? They have lost a couple games already. And went to super bowl last year. Patrick Mahomet is the qb. He us now doing state farm commercial with kelce.
Here is my gut instinct. Taylor is actually one of the people helping the WHs take down the entertainment industry. Have felt this for a while.
That is interesting take for sure. I have myself started to wonder what was up since her and kelce started dating?! I don't follow her much, nor the NFL. Just college. Just found it very odd. I like your instinct though!
The fact that she was hounded by the Kardashians was an indication. It looks like she has gone free from the recording cartel btw
I do know that she re-recorded all her music so she could own it. Idk about the Kardashian stuff. But do remember an incident where Kanye jumped up on stage at the Grammy or something years ago, when she won, saying beyonce should have. But, was before he was married to Kim k.
I don't know anything about football except the names of a few top players current and from the 70s. It's not something I've ever been interested in. I know a lot about Taylor Swift, what the public would know, not like I know her personally. I remember the first time I heard her and saw her first video I knew she was going places. My daughter was a teenager back then and like most teenager girls was fascinated with her. We saw her twice in concert once as an opener and then as a headliner. She used to be an amazing entertainer. We never saw her again because her ticket prices were comparable to pop star prices instead of country artist. Back then the highest prices at a concert was max $80 including tax & fees. I think her's were at least $200.00.
Once she changed genre from country to pop left Nashville and moved to NYC was when the changes started. We were fed an amazing story about her parents moving to Nashville when she was about 10-13. Every day for years her mom drove her to record labels and she pitched herself. Back then hearing that story I thought oh that's cool she's driven and wanted success. Now after I've been here a few years and learning how children are controlled by their parents I don't believe one word of that story. I loved her music but decided I shouldn't support her anymore.
The worst thing about all the lies is she was marketed as a role model for young girls. She was marketed as a good girl. Yet all her songs are about an ex boyfriend. How can a "good girl" have so many ex lovers? It reminds me of a person that always has an issue with co workers, family, friends etc and you finally figure out the person with the problem is that person not all the others in their lives.
Maybe she was once a good girl, who knows? People are good actors when they need to be. Sad thing is she's own know and has the huge audience to brainwash.
Her life is a lie. Her father is Scott Swift from the Swift Group, a division of Merrill Lynch that moves billions in assets.

Dang I didn't know this. Thanks for sharing that info. One more thing about Swift, Ellen has shown up at a few of her concerts and got on stage. Just another 🚩
Knowing what we know, I wonder what exactly young Taylor had to do to "sell herself" to all those record executives. 😎
The Nashville country / Christian to Pop Sleaze pipeline seems pretty strong. See Katy Perry.
I laughed at the OP talking about how she changed Karma to Chief - such treacle. People are conditioned to eat up the dumbest stuff.
Quality thread from you two, thanks.
I've been wondering the same. Basically anyone that's made it big has sold themselves. I remember someone commenting here in the past months about Swift getting the rights to her music from the first label she was with. Seems like they mentioned Soros but I can't be 100% sure. It had to someone big to get the rights to her music. That was a big stink when she left that label. Maybe just another reason so many country artists are creating their own labels. I love old country music but I know even back then they didn't get famous with out doing something.
Just a reminder...
Remember to "zoom back out" again...
It's easy to get caught up in the minutiae of things and miss the forest for the trees ... AKA, the big picture.
It's a great way to gain perspective through this realization. Davinci used to put a chair on the moon and look down. Stalk yourself... observe yourself and life from this perspective.
The real "you" - is timeless & never changes. God never changes. Find what doesn't move or change. Look on the other side of your eyes.
If you believe you are only your body and mind/thoughts/emotions - you're missing/overlooking the greatest part of you.
None of us are here for very long. Find out what happens to "you" when your body dies.
Everyone will experience death. Very, very few can allow themselves to think or talk about it.
God's plan is always perfect. "It's perfect, or it simply wouldn't be."
In spite of the rampant exposure of evil - the clarity of God's perfect plan comes into focus. Every facet of life they try to pervert or adulterate, only leads you to surmise that pursuing those avenues are fruitless and empty.
As such, those awakened and alert, realize that the correct path - even if only deduced from process of elimination, is the Godly choice; the "right" choice - whether that's about untainted food or not supporting those who groom children - inevitably....
ALL ROADS LEAD HOME TO GOD. All else is a misdirection...a bad neighborhood...a fruitless venture.
The hunger in your soul - longs to "go home" - to be free from the dark, heavy burdens of this world and in the light of God's perfection.
Here's hoping God's grace, warmth, compassion and love shine down on you today as you chop your wood, carry water and make your daily bread.
We're not here for long... discover what really matters.
So much mind control in the media.
Had to turn it off.
I do like perfect things.
Cool stuff.
I don't want to be the "that guy mrmmmm", especially since I have no source, but I feel pretty strongly I was reading about the origins of Nimrod as an insult in one of Uncle John's Bathroom Readers, and WC Fields was not mentioned. I only bring it up because I'm fairly certain the standard "it's from the Bible" wasn't necessarily the entire answer either. I just can't remember! Ugh. 😁
Anyway, this gives me the opportunity to laud Uncle John's, as revisiting these now old texts has me viewing them as invaluable research resources in the day of complete revisionist history. They're solidly researched books.
For instance, fun fact: we're often told the story of how Blockbuster rejected an early offer to buy Netflix. It's always presented as David vs Goliath hubris and a "Blockbuster was so dumb, ha ha!" affair.
Turns out Blockbuster was actually 500 million dollars deep in their own downloadable stream technology at the time. Uncle John's doesn't go into specifics, but the kicker is that investment was tied up in Enron, and subsequently destroyed by Enron's collapse.
Knowing what we suspect of financial system shenanigans these days, it colors the whole affair in a different light, IMO.
GameStop, Blockbuster, streaming propaganda 24/7, etc.
Also, Nimrod is in the Bible, and considered a very nefarious person. Using that term is definitely derogatory.
Nimrod is the dude who literally built the tower of babel, because he wanted to be like God, and was going to build a Tower up into heaven. Well, we know how that turned out. 😂🤣😂🤣
Before that everybody could communicate in one language, but then God curse them with different languages, to confuse them, so they couldn’t continue to build their tower.
What a Nimrod! 🤣😂🤣😂
Love it!
My best friend, and I about 20 years ago made up these little slips of paper… They said on it.
Dear Nimrod: Some thing regarding the way you parked or different terms like rectal cranial inversion. Anyway, we had about a half a dozen different infractions, with a square for a check mark, and a blank spot where you could write a note to the person. Anyway, I would keep them in my car or in my purse so we can hand them out when necessary. 😂🤣
I remember we put one on a car next to ours because they parked so close my friend couldn’t even get in the vehicle! Fun times!
Whenever I hear the word, Nimrod, I always think back to those days. Thanks for the fun memory.
I had a black and tan hound, I think I called him that so often, he assumed it was his name.
😂🤣
😂🤣😂🤣

how do you UN-block someone?
I was trying to hide a post but selected "Block" instead of "Hide".
edit: I was trying to hide a gross thumbnail of Hunter Biden lol..
Under the 3 dashes menu (upmost left), at the very bottom of that screen is a Settings choice, in there is a Manage Block list.
In there is a Toggle option, that's where you can unblock them....
That fixed it; thanks man 😎
I believe if you open one of their comments, you should see the unblock option below the comment
Oh, I didn’t know that that’s good to know. There have people that I blocked in the past, but then I decide I want to unblock them.
I found an old comment of theirs from 9 months ago; no option to "unblock".
and when I click on their name it shows a cancel symbol over an eye and says:
Oh, I should still be able to see their username and comments?
I thought they were made invisible.
America - a Country to be Proud Of
https://files.catbox.moe/vepo3i.pdf
Did you link the wrong article by mistake?
This seems very ungreekish...
So you’re sharing a WEF/NWO/Soros-style propaganda hit piece, (Greekish — America - a Country to be Proud Of — https://files.catbox.moe/vepo3i.pdf) — aka 18 pages of pure America-bashing?
I’ve only just scanned it as yet, but hadn’t truly expected something like this from you. On page 4-5 there’s even a section devoted to Trump-bashing (the BOM did things like getting out of the Paris agreement on climate change and refusing to be part of UNFPA, an organization that "supports, or participates in the management of a programme of coercive abortion or involuntary sterilization.") Yes, the entire section was couched in an attitude of all these BOM actions are just examples of American depravity.
You’re entitled to your opinions, anon, even if they’re in line with George Soros who hates America. I’m curious as to why you would post that here and not a separate post. It’s worth a read and study for the marxist perspective and narrative and to generate some honest conversation about it. I don’t doubt that many of the claims therein are true, but it seems that not only promoting balanced discussion on these claims, but also identifying the individuals and organizations that are responsible for this global bullying (and worse) versus blanket-accusations against America would be more productive. Just MHO.
Is there a source for this 18 page screed you’d like to share?
Sorry, I omitted the /s after the title. But it's interesting to see how others view America's achievements.
P.s. I didn't express any opinions. I merely linked to the text.
I’m glad to see that this was to expose/highlight some marxist propaganda and, yes, even the slightest indication that this was to expose and not espouse it would have been helpful.
Source for the screed? It reads like it’s right out of a WEF document.
What is the best Adroid device keyboard & why is it the best?
I don't even know what you mean by that?
Built in touch keyboards? Are there aftermarket keyboard apps? Probably, I don't know. Different layouts with the Android default keyboard? I have to say obviously the "fullscreen on bottom" version with just the alphanumeric keys and no filler. Biggest tiny buttons it offers.
If you're for some reason talking external keyboards, I never even considered that an option. But I guess maybe it is? I'm fairly unsophisticated with phones (on purpose), and especially the hardware side.
But I always use an external keyboard and mouse with any laptop I am able, so I'm sort of intrigued.
On Android there are a variety of onscreen keyboard apps that can be downloaded. you can choose various keyboards that can look & behave differently. Maybe it is time I learn to code & just make my own 😅
If I were using my computer to do most of my work these days, I would just just my physical keyboard.
I walked 12 km today.
2 weeks ago I walked 11.
Where are you going? 😉
That’s impressive! Very impressive.
All I managed to pull off this week, was getting out my chainsaw on a pole, and trimming a bunch of trees in cutting down a bunch of bushes for the winter 😂🤣
Congrats!

Romans 6:23 - For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. https://www.bible.com/bible/59/rom.6.23
Psalm 23
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
Good night frens
2 Timothy 4:1&2
I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom: 2 preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching.
