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.

Rural King has almost doubled the price of ivermectin since mid December. I was paying approximately $8.50. Now it’s $14.49. Ridiculous!
Public opinion seems to be shifting. There's a man running for Governor of California (Tom Steyer) that had ads running saying he was going to counter Trump's ideas. Now his ads say nothing about trump and talk about how he's going to make housing cheaper. Does bashing Trump not bring in the votes these days?

ADL Chief Commissar Jonathan Greenblatt brags about how his organization surveils Americans who criticize Jewish actions or oppose Jewish supremacism.
The ADL is a private de facto political police and intelligence agency allowed not only to act with impunity in violation of the rights of American citizens, they are even able to influence and provide direction to the FBI, so that the FBI will also violate the rights of Americans in service to Jewish supremacy.
This is high treason. The ADL is a hostile foreign organization making war by other means on the American people.
What exactly can they even do with this stuff? Their quasi censorship complex has completely lost teeth. This is basically same as the class monitor who takes names and passes it to the teacher who throws it in the bin.
There are only four meatpacking companies in our nation. BlackRock owns ALL FOUR of them. They also control a large portion of the *pharmaceutical industry.
*”BlackRock has significant investments in various pharmaceutical companies, including top holdings like Eli Lilly and Company, UnitedHealth Group, and Vertex Pharmaceuticals. However, the exact number of pharmaceutical companies it owns outright is not specified, as BlackRock primarily manages assets on behalf of clients rather than owning companies directly.” -AI
There are independent meat packing companies in my area. I would think they are nationwide. One that I know of also processes deer during hunting season. There’s a lot of independent small ranchers in the US. Not as many as there once was. We buy 1/4 cow from local farmers, they use the ones local to them. I have not searched for them, the farmer/rancher chooses the processor.
Search for a local rancher/farmer for your meat and eggs. There’s a huge difference in taste and quality. I used to only eat steak with ketchup and worcestershire, now I only use salt & butter. Also would only eat Tbone or ribeye. Any cut tastes great from the local farmer. Check out your local farmer’s market for them. If you have facebook look on marketplace or local community groups for sources. I found a great lady that sells eggs less than two miles from me. Two years ago I asked in a local group for eggs. Also in some communities people that sell eggs have a stand and cash box. I haven’t seen that in my area. Eggs would be stolen in this EBT area. The coastal area I go to has many local egg stands in their yard. It’s most definitely unique and old school.
Also many former smaller supplement companies are owned by pharmaceutical companies. Just like small independent food, cleaning products & body products get bought by the bigger companies. You really have to research what you are buying.

Thanks. Are there any progress reports?
Yes, there has been steady progress.

Thanks. You are gifted with your information gathering.
Maybe this was already mentioned on this board, but March 17th, the deadline for the Somalis to GTFO, is St. Patrick's Day. Driving the snakes out of the country. Trump often did that story of the woman and the snake as an allegory to Muslim immigration. And then there's that goshdarn number 17 again. I tried explaining this to some normie on a Trump forum on Reddit and he just didn't get it. "Trump doesn't use coded language! Bleh!" It just makes me appreciate you frogs on here more.
Longevity Before the Flood BY JAMES GADBERRY | WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 31, 2025

When gazing through a telescope, we see beauty so vast even the most powerful optics can’t see how far it spans. Trillions of stars are arranged in perfect order, each declaring the matchless glory of its Creator, the Lord Jesus. When we look through a microscope, we glimpse that vast beauty in reverse. Molecules, patterns, and structures are so intricate that the most precise man-made optic won’t reveal the tiniest details that convey the unmistakable mark of expert engineering.
At the Institute for Creation Research, every study and discovery, from galaxies to genetics, testifies to the truth that the Bible means exactly what it says. That conviction drives ICR physicist Dr. Jake Hebert and his fascinating longevity research, which supports the clear record of Genesis as literal history and challenges the claim that its early chapters are poetic or symbolic.
Genesis plainly records that the patriarchs lived extraordinarily long lives: “So all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years; and he died” (5:5); “So all the days of Methuselah were nine hundred and sixty-nine years; and he died” (5:27); “Noah was six hundred years old when the floodwaters were on the earth” (7:6). These are not metaphorical or exaggerated ages but inspired historical records.
In light of such extended human lifespans, Dr. Hebert’s research explores what the lives of pre-Flood creatures may have been like. According to published conventional science literature, fossil evidence shows that many pre-Flood creatures like giant clams, massive oysters, and enormous mammals once flourished in abundance. Large animals today typically have longer lifespans than small animals, so it is likely these pre-Flood animals, like pre-Flood humans, lived longer than their contemporary counterparts. Some animals like sharks and crocodiles were much larger than their modern-day descendants. This aligns beautifully with Genesis’ description of a creation that was “very good” (Genesis 1:31), filled with life, strength, and longevity.

Image credit: Daderot, CC BY 1.0, public domain There is another biological pattern that matches Scripture’s account. In the animal kingdom, long-lived creatures tend to developmentally mature more slowly (see page 20). The Bible records that the earliest fatherhood occurred at age 65 (Genesis 5:15). This is rather old to have children compared to today. ICR recently hosted a visiting church staff, and Dr. Hebert pointed out to our visitors that Sarah was still strikingly beautiful at 90 when Abraham called her his sister (Genesis 20:2). The looks on our visitors’ faces were priceless, since this had never occurred to many of them. It seems humans were aging much slower then as well. These details make perfect sense in a world where humans lived for centuries, as the Bible describes.
Dr. Hebert’s longevity research strengthens confidence in the accuracy of Genesis and confirms Scripture’s history of Christ’s creation. The Lord Jesus Himself affirms this when He said, “For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me; for he wrote about Me” (John 5:46).
ICR’s mission is to defend the authority of Scripture. But this vital work depends on the faithful financial partnership of believers like you. I ask for your help in making work like Dr. Hebert’s possible. We are so grateful to our existing ICR supporters and to those who will make their first gift and join ICR’s mission today. The challenge is great, but the Lord Jesus, our Creator and Redeemer, is greater. He multiplies our efforts far beyond what we could achieve alone.
