Amir Tsarfati He lives in Galilee Israel, and he’s giving updates on his telegram channel. But to be honest, whatever’s there is no different than what you’re finding here. We are the news now.

Is it deep state or Deep State? Which do you prefer?

As the heretical religions and regions battle it out, I pray that all Christians near these battles find safe haven. this is not our war, and no Christian should be drawn in. They both denied the Christ and with that denial they have regressed to tribal primitive war, I don't care what kind of technology they are using, they have signed away the invitation for divine transformation within the body of Christ, and this is where that leads, the hell of war. I pray for the babies and children, because angels know the innocent and if they must perish, they will find the loving arms of Christ to take them away from that hell. Praise God, He is just and has mercy, but to deny him being present in Jesus Christ and denying the Holy Spirit has led to the doom of their purpose. I suppose you can say that I have washed my hands of them. Without Jesus all men return to a savage state.
Couldn’t have said it better myself. The worst part is the Christians in my Bible studies, and at church. It’s so disgusting watching everybody. Feign over Israel. They literally bombed the Iranian embassy. What do you do expect🤷♀️
I know. I gently remind people that both Jews and Muslims reject the New Testament and are living with the Old Testament. They are both Abrahamic faiths. If you live by the New, your entire worldview changes, and so does your behavior. Islam lives by Shariah law, which delights in stonings, beheadings, beatings, etc for infringements of it. Orthodox Judaism believes an eye for an eye, and basically dehumanizes, philosophically, all non Jews. They allow abominable practices in the darker corners. The New Jerusalem is within the Body of Christ. God is most unpleased with Israel, he showed his mercy as offering up the Christ in the body of his son, and offered an eternity with HIM for believing in Jesus Christ. We are the chosen. The ones in denial will continue to shed blood and die in vane. We are the Third Temple. Christ is King.
CHRIST IS KING!
Just did taxes. Wife is retired, I teach in a rural district in Tennessee. Don't make much. And yet, I get stuck with $2300. Geez. People need to wake the fuck up. We're getting raped. I'm pretty sure I'm not alone. The wife and I don't spend extravagantly, yet still it seems whatever we do isn't enough. I hope one day soon things will change, because this is wrong - but I'm also sure people will get on my case for whining about it.
I work with accountants for a major payroll company. Perhaps the biggest. The new deductions seem to just not be enough. If you have to pay $2300 you are paying about $200 a month less than you need to. I would have additional money taken out for Federal Income Tax each paycheck. Take that $2300 and divide it by how many paychecks you get a year and have that additional. Twice a month is 24 paychecks, every other week is 26 paychecks, monthly is 12 paychecks, and weekly is 52 paychecks.
I would suggest you open a small business. Selling some stuff on eBay would probably be the easiest. That unlocks a bunch of deductions that will save you money on your taxes. Mileage and portion of your home used for the business can save you some money.
This, of course, is not official advice. I am not an accountant or bookkeeper. I don't even play one on tv, lol.
Read it as "Just did Vaxes" and was very worried lol
tax day nears ... what did you decide? filing or not filing? If filing, why? If not filing, what do you have prepared if the irs comes after you about it?
Filed, even though I didn't have to. No return yet. I own nothing and am happy! I just wknt eat ze bugs! 🤣🤣. Actually alot of people I know who filed, haven't received their refund yet. And a couple have to re file.
Practically speaking, what does the action of Iran against Israel mean for the average American?
Israel is the little satan and America is the big satan, to these invaders,which dirty bombs, thousands of these get-aways are carrying in their backpacks. Is this the 'ring of fire' that the Ayatollah promised?
Is there an ongoing calendar that anons can use to keep track of what happens when (expected or scheduled anyway)? Trial dates, responses required by, expiring laws, etc. There should be. There's so much to keep track of.
Hi frens hope you are doing well and enjoying your day. Apologies for being absent. I’ve been busy with life and family. Hopefully things will slow and I can get back here regularly. I’m popping in a bit to keep up with the top news. Missing your daily educational, funny and life story post. Prayers of blessings for each of you 🐸s.
God bless you too. I hope that you’re having a fantastic day. Steady the course.
Thanks fren, yes it’s a great day at home with hubby and we have the dog this weekend.
Yay for dogs. And your husband to L O L 😂 I’m pet sitting my favorite today. She is so special and loved. Enjoy your weekend.
Meme assist request: Anyone here have a link to the eyepatch mccain meme of his patch really being a glory hole for the globalists? i swear i saw it here and it would be perrrrfect for shit posting on x. :) thank you
this stuff is incredible. take 2 and in an hour you will feel the B vitamins flood your system with calm, alert energy, or a sweet sleepiness if you need rest: https://www.amazon.com/Desiccated-Supplement-Digestion-Double-Wood/dp/B0C414X9V7/
Thanks, I haven’t heard of this brand and will check it out. I’ve been taking Ancestral Supplements liver over a year. Off and on the past four years my hair was falling out from handfuls to just a few strands. I stopped the supplement two weeks ago because I’ve been eating carnivore for four months. Figured I was getting enough nutrients from the meat and would test to see if I needed liver supplements. (I’m post menopausal) Well yes I need them! My hair started falling out again.
To be fair this is the only liver suppliment I've tried, but damn it feels good! Carnivore is my goal, pizzas and burritos are hindering it though :/
I totally understand! I have been not 100% carnivore every day. Also there are different versions of carnivore. I personally think it’s what works best for the individual. There’s some good videos on YouTube by doctors and ordinary people that have changed their eating habits. I love watching Dr Anthony Chaffee, however he’s 100% beef only. He says every time he’s tried plants, even coffee he gets terrible pain and inflammation. Dr Ken Berry has several videos. Of course make up your own food observations as to who is legit and just making videos for money. My husband has lost 35 pounds since 12/27/24. I’ve lost 25 but I’m up and down so it’s probably more like 20. We have had pizza a few times for a local Italian owned restaurant. Had Mexican maybe there times. Also had some desserts like cake, brownies & muffins. Every time he goes off track he might gain two pounds and down right after he’s back to carnivore. I guess my hormones and taking NSAID or Tylenol has not helped. I read anytime you take even one pill of medication you gain weight. We travel out of town at least once a month and it’s hard to stay 100% strict for those three days. One person on advice video said focus on getting healthy and not weight loss or gain. Because your body goes through changes cutting out plants and processed foods. I have turned into a coffee drinker which isn’t 100%, more dirty carnivore. In the past I probably had five cups of coffee in a year. I add butter and non toxic full fat creamer. Yeah, butter crazy but so good. It’s not for everyone! Cheating has allowed me to figure out what foods irritate me.
Good times friends. Asia Only time will tell. Beautiful song. Enjoy it! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=AWs8SbT4__E and God bless you.
Has anyone heard about our dear LQdy Fren u/Mary911 ?🥺
She’s not been posting for 4 days now and I pray nothing bad happened to her or her loved family.🙏🏻
Lucky I checked in. Been busy SPRING CLEANING and now I just went back to babysitting as my son got a job with his neighbor who does construction too. Other than that all is fine. Sink stopped up for some (unknown) reason as I do NOT put any grease or leftover bits down it. Then refrigerator ice maker water line busted. Anyway, all is well now. Talk to you later. Found this post of yours in (17) minutes. There's that number again.
Mary!🤗💐❤️🔥🙏🏻
Happy to hear that you are well. God bless you and have a great day.
Thank you my friend.
Any good tips for ear ache? Hearing kind of muffled and it’s a little tender. Tried peroxide but didn’t seem to help thinking of trying onion but would love to hear what’s worked for anyone here. Trying to avoid antibiotics if possible.
Herbs 4 Kids has a garlic/ Willow oil that really works! You need to warm it in warm water to body temperature, though. I believe Whole Foods still carries it....
I read all the suggestions and they are top notch, I just want to add that with the oild drops or onion juice, and an allergy med or decongestant, I find great comfort in the good old reliable hot water bottle.
My sister tried the steamed onion juice in her ear. She said it worked for her. I've never tried it, but should I get an ear ache, I will give it a try. She was skeptical at first, but she said she was pleasantly surprised.
Besides garlic/olive or mullein oil as suggested in comments: An antihistamine will help with overall sinus congestion. Saline spray or nasal rinse is helpful. I recently learned you should not blow your nose immediately after saline spray. The salt spray should sit in your sinuses a while to work better. Don’t use food safe olive oil. Should be medicinal, honestly I don’t know the difference because it all comes from olives. Maybe it’s processed differently. Apple cider vinegar, ginger, lemon are great for sinus etc. Also crush a garlic clove with lemonade or juice is helpful when you have infection like a cold. The last two aren’t cures I find it spreads healing.
If you aren’t sick with eat infection or a cold an ear cleaning oil is good. My ears have been clogged for excess ear wax and mainly using Q tips. Dr said excess wax when I had sinus infection couple months ago. I used Debrox earwax removal oil once and in two days wax came out. I don’t think it’s suggested if you have infection.
Ty. Am wondering if it’s infection from spring allergies. Baked an inion and it took some pain away. Plan on repeating this evening and am looking into the Debrox, so ty for that recommendation!
You’re welcome & hope you get better soon. Also, I keep this brand vinegar blend in stock. It’s usually in my local grocery store for the same price online. I take the lemon ginger version. If you don’t like ginger they have others. Even my husband likes it and my one year old granddaughter took it and didn’t complain.

There years in a row during allergy season I had a severe ear infection, so bad it kept me out of work several days. I thought it was just allergies. Several years ago light bulb went off, the building I worked in was flooded after a hurricane that went bad. So, I’m thinking mold had something to do with it. However I’ve always had terrible allergies and occasionally ear infections.
For infections especially colds and allergies I like the following:
I don’t order directly from Dr Christopher’s. There’s several good sites online that carry it. A couple times in a pinch I did order from amazon or Walmart. I have a friend that has a prime account and can get it quickly. Just be careful ordering from amazon! Double check that the company sells on their and Amazon is the seller, not a small third party seller. I saw an article a few months ago about fake supplements on there. The bottles didn’t have all the brand info on the label, a big red flag. Some companies only sell on amazon including good natural companies.
I take this anytime I’m exposed to someone that’s sick or feels like I’m coming down with something.

I had a terrible cold or sinus infection and waited to long to go get antibiotics. For a while it seemed like the antibiotics weren’t helping. I got this and could tell a difference. Now I only take on bad seasonal allergy days.
https://christophersoriginalformulas.com/collections/capsules/products/sinus-plus-capsule
I always keep Oregano Oil Capsules on hand. I trust this company. I don’t recommend the oil or tincture for ingesting. I’ve taken herbal tinctures for several years and some are very bitter but tolerable. The oregano tincture burns and you can’t get rid of the taste even mixed in OJ.

🙏 ty, moody!
You can get mullein oil from most health food stores or maybe amazon. It's supposed to help with the pain.
On my list - ty!
What invention would you miss the most?
Comments are hilarious!
God Endures With Us. My Morning Bible Read Was Acts 24:1-27, "Paul’s Trial Before Felix". Paul defended himself, and verse 16 says, "So I strive always to keep my conscience clear before God and man."
