Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evolving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Rules For the rest of the Site also accessible on the sidebar.

Psalm 34:15&16
15 The eyes of the Lord are toward the righteous and his ears toward their cry. 16 The face of the Lord is against those who do evil, to cut off the memory of them from the earth.
It appears that we are about to witness verse 16 ❤️🙏🏻
I hope so!
Oh it’s coming!
Why did they force us to close the banks? To instill fear in people. And spreading fear is called terrorism. They are unanimous in their hatred of me, and I welcome their hatred. I shall wear the creditors' loathing with pride.

...hold dat line Girly...
My brother came to visit this past weekend and we got to talking about politics. He leans very left and we don't see eye to eye on pretty much anything. He has been living overseas for almost 20 years and he doesn't see the things going on here. He thinks the crazy stories about immigration and fraud are all fake and the corruption in government is not that bad or just isolated to a few bad spots.
I don't know where he gets his info but he repeats a lot of MSM talking points and when I tell him how it really is he just laughs and brushes it off like a joke. I sent him a few links but he won't watch videos, says he doesn't care enough to devote so many hours to watching interviews and commentary. If I send him articles he says its just opinions. I gave him a book last year about how the jab was killing people and the numbers didn't support the official narrative - he said he would be embarrassed to be seen reading it on the plane.
This weekend the conversation was mainly about DOGE and the deportations. He says he's very concerned and heard at least TWO cases where innocent people were deported just because of a tattoo that might be gang-related, and everyone, even illegals, should be entitled to an individual hearing to determine if they should be deported. He doesn't believe that illegals who are murderers and rapists are being let out without bail, or that TdA is really so dangerous, or that it all might be a coordinated effort to undermine national security.
He doesn't like that DOGE is shutting down agencies without consent from Congress, that Elon wasn't confirmed by the senate, and thinks the claims about social security fraud are total bullshit. I asked him why he thinks that and he can't give an answer. He says he won't believe something just because Elon or Trump said it. He thinks they are just pulling figures out of their ass and people on the right are so brainwashed they just go along with it.
I have no idea how to get through. Seems like he's totally dug in to his worldview and nothing is going to change that. Oh yeah and he works for the government.
This is word for word so very similar to what I experience with my son in law when talking to him about all you listed, but he doesn't work for the government.
Very difficult to get him to believe that illegals are receiving social security or that the fraud is extensive as Elon and his team are telling us it is.
It's very frustrating trying to discuss any of these topics with him...ends up with me getting upset and I had to walk out of the room to cool off. At a loss as to how to make him even consider these issues as reality rather than "the made up numbers" that he thinks are being reported by DOGE.
Trouble is when you do that it looks to them like they won the argument and gives them a chip on their shoulder.
We bring the truth with good will in our hearts, but, if someone does not accept or hear, Jesus suggests shaking the dust off of our feet, and turning around and walking away. People have had more than adequate time to learn the truth. If there is no thirst for the truth, what is the sense in offering the living water?
So very well said 👍
No, not really in this case because most of the time he is the one walking away...I was recounting (not clear in the post) about what actually had happened yesterday and my daughter (visiting us for a few days) was on a work call and asked what "the loud voices" were about.
You can't fix him because his mind is a locked vault.
I think he wants to be open minded to new opinions, but after considering what I'm saying, he goes back to repeating the Left's views.
He sounds hopeless. Talk about sports with him. Sorry for you. You have a 4-6%-er.
I respect how calm you are with him. It’s really very sad that he is so deceived. But when the truth is finally revealed we still have to be there for these types because they will be so blown away. Pray for his eyes to be opened.
Thanks, though I think that even when "The Reveal" comes it will either send him further into denial or shortcircuit his brain. He would have to reject about 50 years of ingrained programming and adopt a view he's always considered absurd. He seems pretty content to stay where he is.
That’s sad! But don’t give up completely, miracles happen everyday. 🙏🏻
I don’t have these conversations with friends or family (except husband, daughter & sil) because they think I’m crazy to believe (what we know as truth). All we can do is pray for the in our lives that are denial. My dad is boosted to the max. He stopped getting Covid booster, not because of what I said, the pharmacist said she wasn’t getting anymore, so no more for him. Yet he does medical trials (different types of vaccines) his doctor recommends just to get $50.00 for each shot or phone call. He doesn’t need money, he’s worked hard and saved. It’s about getting something for free. Just as example of his mentality, Outback food & service is at all time low yet he goes for a free onion. He’s 81 and we can see the mental decline over the past couple years. Who knows if it’s vaccine or statins, believes the doctor. I’ll ad you and your brother to my prayers.
Ever since those judges started issuing those bullshit injunctions it seems like absolutely nothing has been happening. Or if it has then it's not making it to the news. It's really frustrating because I like to be able to see that Trump is fulfilling his promises, but I have to sift through all these fucking doomer posts to try and find any information and most of the time it's just people bitching because they can see just as little as I can
I get frustrated by it too, but I then I remember that these optics are not meant for you and I, they are meant for the sleelple and that while they are busy sitting on the edge of their seats freaking out, you and I are enjoying our popcorn and watching things carefully unfold knowing that there are stealth bombers in the background doing what needs to be done while Elon, Zelensky, Signalgate, and activist judges are the decoys assigned to keep the masses entertained while the real work is being done to dismember the tentacles of the beast system. Hang in there.
I agree. We have to remember we are really watching the swamp being drained. While most is happening while we are being distracted, it is still happening.
C. H. Spurgeon's Evening Reading (March 31st)
"And Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took sackcloth, and spread it for her upon the rock, from the beginning of harvest until water dropped upon them out of heaven, and suffered neither the birds of the air to rest on them by day, nor the beasts of the field by night." — 2 Samuel 21:10
If the love of a woman to her slain sons could make her prolong her mournful vigil for so long a period, shall we weary of considering the sufferings of our blessed Lord? She drove away the birds of prey, and shall not we chase from our meditations those worldly and sinful thoughts which defile both our minds and the sacred themes upon which we are occupied? Away, ye birds of evil wing! Leave ye the sacrifice alone! She bore the heats of summer, the night dews and the rains, unsheltered and alone. Sleep was chased from her weeping eyes: her heart was too full for slumber. Behold how she loved her children! Shall Rizpah thus endure, and shall we start at the first little inconvenience or trial? Are we such cowards that we cannot bear to suffer with our Lord? She chased away even the wild beasts, with courage unusual in her sex, and will not we be ready to encounter every foe for Jesus' sake? These her children were slain by other hands than hers, and yet she wept and watched: what ought we to do who have by our sins crucified our Lord? Our obligations are boundless, our love should be fervent and our repentance thorough. To watch with Jesus should be our business, to protect His honour our occupation, to abide by His cross our solace. Those ghastly corpses might well have affrighted Rizpah, especially by night, but in our Lord, at whose cross-foot we are sitting, there is nothing revolting, but everything attractive. Never was living beauty so enchanting as a dying Saviour. Jesus, we will watch with Thee yet awhile, and do Thou graciously unveil Thyself to us; then shall we not sit beneath sackcloth, but in a royal pavilion.
No joke women have better hearing than men😂
https://notthebee.com/article/study-says-women-do-have-better-hearing-than-men
Whenever I have my hearing tested, it's perfect. I tell the examiner that I have no problems hearing anything other than my wife. :D
😁 That’s called selective hearing. I don’t think men can multitask as good as women. That may be why you don’t hear your wife. I’ve bitched so much he says I heard you. But I’m guilty also. I think my not hearing (or don’t remember) is because my short term memory sucks. Yet, I can tell you random memories from as far back as three. By the way, my hearing ain’t what it used to be. I blame loud music in the car & concerts, standing at the stage right in front of speakers. Probably why my ears ring constantly. Good luck🙂
There is a Live Volcano happening on Iceland atm
Thanks, I’ll check it out. Big Island Hawaii volcano has been erupting a few weeks. It’s mild compared to past eruptions. I visited once and became obsessed with volcanoes so I keep up. I haven’t seen anything on earth compare for me, not even the beach. It’s so beautiful and so very dangerous.
Happy birthday, me. Waiting for my Liberation Day belated gift from the T man.
Happy Birthday!

It really makes me sick to see Pres. Trump favoring Lindsey Graham over Thomas Massie. What are your thoughts on this?
This apparently is the movie Rep Luna says NBC is hiding.
