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.

Here’s my take on this Epstein stuff:
Trump/MIL/Space Force has the REAL files backed up and archived. You can’t legally release evidence that is being used in an active investigation unless and until it is unsealed by court order. If the military is working behind the scenes and will be the ones processing it rather than the civilian courts, they might have different procedures when it comes to this.
In an effort to eek out a win and get normies to stop looking at how they caused the shutdown, along with many other recent BOOMs… they conveniently release some emails that have supposedly never been released before… but that’s not the whole truth. The redacted VICTIM listed in the emails is actually Virginia Giuffre, who had actually exonerated and vindicated Trump. Also MAXWELL herself, Epstein’s cell mate, and some lawyer I forgot the name of also exonerated him by name. And sure, back in the day, they did have some relationship, and Trump borrowed one of his planes once, but that doesn’t prove he was 100% involved. Also, if he was involved, why would he kick out (and PERMANENTLY BAN) Epstein and Maxwell from Mar-a-Lago? Wouldn’t that be counterintuitive? Why would he sign and implement Executive Order 13818 (Seizure of Assets of Persons Involved in Human Rights Abuse and Corruption), among other important executive orders that are still in effect to this day? I will continue to hold the line and firmly believe that Trump will be vindicated in the public eye soon.
X blowing up with similar headlines like this. Almost like it was planned.

Had a coworker disappear for 10 days. Found out today that ICE detained him. He was born here. Had ID and everything. He did resist arrest but i honestly cant blame him for that. Not sure yet if they knew he was but still kept him because he resisted or not but he was given no rights a citizen would have. Hope for their sake they didn't know because if they did and still held him they are about to have a lawsuit.
As in immigrant myself I have always said that the biggest victims of mass illegal immigration are people like us. Honestly, I cant blame the sentiment nor the police actions and if I were in his position, the last thing I would do is to resist arrest.
Born here, you say... Were his parents here legally? Or was he an anchor baby whose parents were citizens of another country? One doesn't become a citizen simply by being born in this country.
Yeah they were. His entire family was born here.
You are not fooling anyone. We know you're a troll. Go away
Was the "Sky Event" the aurora? The photos are quite beautiful, but my husband is insisting it is just a light at the Sewer Treatment Plant. ... Just thought we could all use a little chuckle.
Am I going crazy? Wasn't there a story a day or so ago talking about how Dems had access to some alleged Epstein files for over a year under Biden, but they sat on it? I swear I saw that here, and even saved it, but now I can't find it. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?
Does anybody have any ideas on Trump's idea of 50-year mortgages? To be totally honest, I think this is a bad idea.
Dave at x22 gives an explanation on 50 yr mortgages. It looks crazy, unmanageable, anti-american when you look at it in today's system. But Trump is working to dismantle the fed reserve/private western central bank. In the new system rates will be lower so your payment will be lower and when you're done paying off the loan, you're done paying. https://x22report.com/ds-are-responsible-for-shutdown-ds-kept-in-the-us-election-rigging-ready-to-be-exposed-ep-3771/

Right. It cracks me up seeing the drones sharing their Northern Lights photos and have no idea what other things have been going on, let alone the effect these storms could have on our infrastructure and our consciousness!

The Myth of Abiogenesis BY MICHAEL J. BOYLE, PH.D. | FRIDAY, AUGUST 29, 2025
https://www.icr.org/article/15446/
The origin of life on Earth is one of the most polarizing issues across the history of mankind. From the perspective of conventional science, life emerged by the production of living matter from nonliving matter through a complex, multicomponent process characterized as abiogenesis (a = without, bio = life, genesis = origin).1,2 This hypothetical framework implies that inorganic substances were abiotically synthesized into the fundamental organic compounds (amino acids, lipids, nucleotides) ultimately required for the structure and function of living cells.
Historically, notable hypotheses for life’s origin include Aristotle’s early account of spontaneous generation,3 later refuted by Pasteur and Tyndall;4 Darwin’s conception that life arose in a warm little pond;5 and the primordial soup of warm oceans and hydrothermal vents that Operin and Haldane proposed.5 However, the classical experiment on abiogenesis by Stanley Miller6 has received the most attention and is promoted today within college textbooks worldwide.7 So what did Miller and others actually find?
The Miller-Urey experiment attempted to reproduce atmospheric conditions on a prebiotic earth (Figure 1).6,8 Methane, ammonia, and hydrogen gases (CH4, NH3, H2) were combined in a closed system to simulate a reducing environment (e.g., without oxygen or oxidizing gases). Water vapor was circulated through the gases, exposed to an electric discharge, condensed, and then sampled. The only meaningful organic compounds identified were low yields of glycine and alanine,8–10 two of the set of 20 amino acids required for life by all organisms. Soon after, another scientist synthesized adenine (DNA nucleotide) from hydrogen cyanide under conditions also assumed to represent a primitive earth.11

Schematic of the apparatus used by Stanley Miller and Harold Urey in their famous experiment on the abiogenesis of organic compounds.6 Within the apparatus, water vapor ascends to mix with methane, ammonia, and hydrogen gas in the upper chamber. Electricity provides the spark (lightning) that is assumed to transform inorganic matter into amino acids that are essential for life. Image credit: gstraub | iStock
Moreover, researchers promoting origin of life (OoL)12,13 and RNA world14,15 hypotheses suggest that prebiotic chemistry may have been delivered to Earth by asteroids, meteorites, or comets.16,17 But is there any real evidence that ancient, random, naturalistic forces transformed inorganic chemistry into essential organic compounds or the biochemical codes of life on Earth or any other planet? No!
First, Miller-type experiments under reducing6 or oxidizing8 atmospheres only produce proteinogenic glycine and alanine (racemic), both of which would be reactively hindered by non-proteinogenic amino acids and other substances.9,10 Second, the most essential macromolecules of life (proteins, nucleic acids, phospholipids, carbohydrates) only function as polymers and would hydrolyze in the presence of water.10 Therefore, they are inoperable outside of a cell, the basic functional unit of life.18 Third, if abiogenesis were operative today, microbes would instantly devour all of the essential organic molecules, as both Darwin and Oparin percieved.5,19 Fourth, since abiogenesis is postulated to have occurred on Earth more than 3.5 billion years ago, it is not testable, verifiable, or falsifiable and is therefore outside the purview of science.20
Yet even remote timeframes are no obstacle for an inflexible mind determined to prove that life arose from nonliving molecules. The following quote from Miller and Urey is revealing.
Since the demonstration by Pasteur that life does not arise spontaneously at the present time, the problem of the origin of life has been one of determining how the first forms of life arose, from which all the present species have evolved.8
Sound minds would have stopped at Pasteur’s refutation of spontaneous generation.4 Instead, those intent on a God-free origin of life plunge toward incomprehensible time—the keystone of evolution—while ignoring the true and accurate biblical account of history. Clearly, the elapsed ~6,000-year scriptural record would not only prohibit the inception, diversification, and functionality of abiotic chemical precursors, but it would also rule out the immense time required for their transformation into the essential biochemistry we find today in all cellular life.
Notably, both unicellular and multicellular prokaryotes (bacteria) still inhabit extreme and inhospitable environments today21 and most likely function as originally designed. Perhaps cyanobacteria, within which chloroplasts are thought to have first evolved,21 are aligned with the biblical timeline as well. Additionally, cyanobacterial origins, along with their presumed role in the initiation of Earth’s oxygen-containing atmosphere 2.44–2.22 billion years ago, remain another facet of wishful conjecture.22
Likewise, warm little ponds, hydrothermal vents, lightning, and primitive atmospheres are merely subjective forgeries to counter what the heavens and Earth clearly reveal: existing abiotic and biotic chemicals do not reflect the ancient precursors of essential macromolecules or living cells that may have arisen from unassisted experiments billions of years ago. Simply put, life cannot create itself.
To completely convince the world of abiogenesis and all that is proposed to arise from it, theorists will need to start from scratch. That is, they will need to get their own stars, their own Earth, and all of the matter, energy, and laws that hold them together and maintain the operation of every elemental product contained within them. Until then, mixing known chemicals, gases, fluids, and electricity found on our planet in order to abiotically synthesize the fundamental organic compounds necessary for existing life is refutable.

Image credit: Image credit: Ajith Kumar | iStock What is irrefutable is that existing life has only ever been confirmed to arise from preexisting life. Without human intervention, matter alone cannot create or perform a “Miller” experiment or ever account for the supremely intelligent mind behind the Quaternary Triplet Code of DNA.23 In fact, the massless information intrinsic to every form of biological life “has never been observed to arise from purely physical or chemical processes.”23
These facts are established, but to a reprobate mind the alternative is unacceptable: “For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day” (Exodus 20:11). Any other view belongs exclusively within the purview of mythology, as exemplified here by the myth of abiogenesis.
