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.

Spot silver 79.94 highest weekend close ever i belive.
It’s time to start arresting these protesters and we need insane asylums. I can’t tell you how many videos I’ve seen on instagram of people getting into “ice” business. I know many are paid, but some I’m seeing is random people getting into trying to stop ice. I’m sorry I don’t have the video, instagram auto loaded the feed before I could save it. Ice & or police pulled a guy over and arrested him because they had a warrant. It was an unmarked vehicle. This woman (doesn’t deserve the term lady) stopped, got out and started shouting and cursing and officers. Do you have a warrant. Getting too close, officers demanded she back up. They got suspect in the car & she’s videoing car and license plate, shouting F you, F F F and other cursing.
These officers, ice, military are putting their lives on the line for America. Some people don’t deserve the freedoms that are God Given because they were lucky enough to born in America.
We are in a battle with good vs evil. Christian vs everyone else. Sadly many Christian’s don’t get that. Many churches don’t get it.
My rant for the day. I know it has to get worse before it gets better. Dang it’s hard to watch. Y’all stay safe and avoid the crazies.
It's it time to arrest Soros and stop their funding? Please!!!
👏
The Machado/Trump VE parallels continue to be fascinating.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mar%C3%ADa_Corina_Machado
Machado was barred from running (similar to what the left tried to do to Trump). She organized protests against Maduro (can we say J6). The 2024 VE election was criticized due to Maduro having institutional control (can we say Biden winning and no challenges heard).
And yet, funny how she is yet another pawn of the same Cabal!
To conquer a nation, first disarm its citizens. Adolf Hitler
I have heard people say that, but never found any source for that and somehow it doesn't really sound like what he would say ...
Whether Hitler said it or not, the point stands.
Its for the noobs. The real way to conquer a country is:
"Saddle a country with enough debt and you can not only disarm their citizens and take over their country, but also make them do whatever you want."
Fill them with chemicals, dumb them down, make them physically and intellectually weak, hungry, scare them into submission. I agree with what you said, but there are more ways than one to do it. It sure does make it easier if they have no weapons, too. Looking at the UK and Australia makes that sadly obvious.
The constant emphasis on Hitler, while ignoring Stalin and Mao, is very suspicious.
Charles Ortel artwork meme of “Ice Age Minneapolis” with the Somali woman (who married her brother) riding down a snow-covered hill on sled bag of $ is pretty good, I didn’t post the photo as I’m not 100% sure about Jason Goodman, but I think his friend / oftenc o-host Charlees Ortel is a straightfoward honest guy
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Cg-Y8ne_sM
just to help out the negative voter, this was the most unclear thing you could have done. You could have said you don’t like Jason Goodman because of his background, or you think the Walz democratic & Somali fraud in Minnesota is good for America. Either way, you missed the point, Charles Ortel is an honest guy, a clear-thinking commentator, and the meme is a good one.
Goodman might be on one of the sides opposed to freedom, I left this open for Anons to comment. He might have been in the past.
It was about 3 AM. I was sound asleep. Then I was awakened by a weight on my back making it hard to breath. I wasn't fully awake, but conscious. I figured it was my wife leaning over me to give me a kiss on the cheek before leaving for work. But the weight didn't go away. I struggled to breath. I tried my hardest to wake myself to no avail. I tried to yell but could not make a sound. I could feel breathing on my neck. I try my hardest to wake myself but could not. I struggled to breathe thinking I was about to die. Then I heard him snickering. So I decided to pray. My last weapon. Dear Father in heaven. Boom ! It was all over. I woke up gasping for air. Thank you GOD !
I have some crazy dreams but that’s down right scary. I’m always dreaming of someone I know dying or something else traumatic. May Jesus wrap his hedge of protection around you and rebuke evil spirits. Blessings fren.

Eph. 1: 20 which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, 21 far above all principality[g] and [h]power and [i]might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come.
Philippians 2:9-11 New King James Version 9 Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, 11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Praise the LORD! 🙏🙌
Just talkin out my ass here… Imagine Trump comes out tommorow and states, “We’re going to arrest and prosecute every federal employee who’s ever killed an American citizen.”
And then it comes out that ol girl in Minnesota wasn’t an American citizen…
Awesome thought. They love to use foreign whites to blend in. The link below is a TV series called The Americans. It’s about Russia training children to be American. Sending them to America during the Cold War.

All the more reason to be tough on immigration.
Exactly! I don’t think the average person had a clue how bad the situation is. I knew it was bad but didn’t know it was as we are seeing.

CREATION SCIENCE UPDATE A Molecular Snowmobile BY FRANK SHERWIN, D.SC. (HON.)
THURSDAY, DECEMBER 11, 2025
https://www.icr.org/article/molecular-snowmobile
This is it in motion: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/JjUfNkRprGE (Nature didn't make this!)
People following—or actively involved in—creation science are no doubt aware of the incredible molecular motor called the flagellum,1,2 an ultra-tiny, whip-like appendage on bacteria that enables them to move in an aqueous environment. Recently, research involving bacteria that use sugar-fueled currents and molecular gearboxes has addressed a fascinating dual-function motor that is not associated with the flagellum.3
This molecular motor (a rotary machine) is found in a type of bacteria called flavobacteria and is “fueled by the energy of the stored proton motive force and transmitted through the torque of membrane-anchored stator units.”4 This amazing machine is called the type 9 secretion system (T9SS), and it aids in protein secretion and gliding movement.
As one scientist said, “The T9SS contains a motor that drives secretion. This is one of the only three known biological rotary motors driven by a proton motive force (pmf).”5 This pmf (or chemiosmosis) is the result of an electrochemical gradient produced by the movement of protons (H+) across a semipermeable membrane. It is this gradient that produces the energy for pmf that in turn operates the rotary motors. Clearly, there’s nothing simple about harnessing proton motive force at the molecular scale.
Scientists at Arizona State University likened this movement of the T9SS to—of all things—a snowmobile:
Normally, the T9SS helps these bacteria glide across surfaces. It does this by moving an adhesive-coated belt around the cell body, pulling the bacterium forward like a microscopic snowmobile. The researchers discovered that a conveyor-belt protein called GldJ acts like a gear-shifter, controlling the direction of this rotary motor.3
Nothing is left to chance when one constructs, say, a rotary motor, let alone a conveyor-belt, snowmobile, gear-shifter, or gearbox! These are complex items put together by highly intelligent engineers after much detailed research. And none of these parallel microscopic features are a result of random accidents, natural processes, or time.6 Indeed, Psalm 111:2 states, “The works of the LORD are great, sought out of all them that have pleasure therein.”
One should keep this verse in mind when reading the following paragraph by evolutionist Abhishek Shrivastava of Arizona State University as he discusses “an extraordinary dual-role nanogear system” inside tiny bacteria.
“We are very excited to have discovered an extraordinary dual-role nanogear system that integrates a feedback mechanism, revealing a controllable biological snowmobile and showing how bacteria precisely tune motility and secretion in dynamic environments,” Shrivastava says. “Building on this breakthrough, we now aim to determine high-resolution structures of this remarkable molecular conveyor to visualize, at atomic precision, how its moving parts interlock, transmit force and respond to mechanical feedback. Unraveling this intricate design will not only deepen our understanding of microbial evolution but also inspire the development of next-generation bioengineered nanomachines and therapeutic technologies.”3
Truly, the works of the Lord are great. Creationists read this incredible description and say it has nothing to do with so-called microbial evolution; rather, it gives us a more reverential appreciation for God’s astonishing workmanship.7

I was going to move it up to today because I posted late, but i couldn't find it, so I posted it again on tomorrows page. If I find it I'll delete it.
No worries. I didn't see it. It's good to repost sometimes.
Thanks for being a character witness on my behalf. 😂
You're welcome, fren.
Leave it up fren!
Dear Lord, please comfort and guide those 3 children who lost their mother from TDS this week, Amen.
Amen! 🙏
