Early voting begins in Georgia next week and several states have already started. States that are still using Dominion machines produces a printed paper copy that one then takes over to the ballot drop machine as they exit the polling station. But did you know that the machine that you insert your printed paper ballot into only reads the QR code at the bottom of the page? So even though it may say Trump/Vance at the top of the page, the QR code could say something different.

I urge everyone who inserts a ballot with a QR code to use the camera reader on your phone to check that the QR code matches your vote before you leave your polling station.

EDIT: Instructions: Open the camera app on your phone and aim it at the QR code but don't take a pic. The lens of the camera is a QR reader. It will hone in on the code and open up the details in another page that allows you to see what is embedded in the code. If you've never used your camera app to read a QR code, I urge you to practice a few times on trusted QR codes...

Many restaurants used the QR code/camera reader method for seeing their menu during covid.

And before someone tells me to do my own research, I have! Trump seems to be in Israel’s corner. So I ask again, how does this attack play in to ‘the plan’ and where does this fall in the scheme of right and wrong? From where I sit, Israel seems totally justified in their actions and response to this aggression. Help a fren understand the big picture.

It's widely believed that certain aspects of the military 'stepped in' to counter the cheating in the 2016 election cycle. She wasn't supposed to lose...

Will they step in to counter the cheating during this election cycle? and a follow up question...if no, then what was the point of doing so in 2016?

Received a call this morning that sounded a lot like past donation solicitation calls except this time they said that 48 states recently passed a law affecting the 2024 Presidential election that says all voters must provide picture ID AND original voter registration card. According to the caller, the RNC is going to start running ads to inform the public of this change so that they don't get turned away at the polls. My $25 donation will help spread the word and avoid potential election interference. I called BS on the woman and hung up but wanted to pass this along...some people will fall for this scam. It was a 202 phone number...caller was a woman with a deep southern accent.

Donald Trump is my president and my vote can't be swayed but damn it, sometimes I wish Trump would just keep his confrontational mouth shut! There are lots of middle-of-the-road republicans who will likely vote for Trump regardless, but there are plenty of Kemp supporters who could be alienated by Trump's remarks. I'm no fan of Kemp but he is our governor and he's better than Abrams on a bad day, so why not stop with the division? Why risk turning off voters who are fair weather-ride the fence types? Sometimes I find myself mystified by the strategy...

Though it’s bad, they say it’s not what the media portrays. Says the crisis is made for tv. I pointed out lots of footage as well as the Laken Riley tragedy. They maintain all is not as it seems. Thoughts?

Lots of talk about getting rid of biden and sneaking in Big Mike as the democrat party's nominee. Was listening to Patriot radio and the guest host opined that if she becomes the nominee, there won't be a need for much cheating because she will win in a landslide. They also suggested that we won't see this happen until Trump has officially secured the nomination. I vehemently disagree but that doesn't make the possibility untrue. So I ask, what is the path to victory for GEOTUS if MO is the nominee?

After our election was stolen in 2020, and then again in the 2022 mid-terms I came to believe that the best course of action was/is day-of-in person voting. But until day-of voting becomes the norm in all 50 states, the dems have the upper hand with ballot harvesting, mail-in ballots, and registering to vote efforts. Republicans can't compete with the current system by sticking to in person, day-of voting...at least that's the message being reported by the organization called Early Vote Action.

I listened to an interview of the founder of this effort and he made a compelling argument:

Early voting, especially in person early voting has a greater chance of getting your vote to count. As we saw with 2020, the vote counting was halted on election night is key states. This allowed the traitors to manufacture enough votes to swing the results of those who cast their vote on election day. In contrast, early voters already had their votes registered and counted. As the cheat is in for the next election, THEY ARE COUNTING ON US TO VOTE ON ELECTION DAY ONLY.

Voting early seems counter intuitive (to me) and yet the vast majority of dems do indeed, vote early. The linked organization has begun a grass-roots effort to register voters, specifically, Republicans who move to a new state since the last election and may not have yet registered to vote.

The call to action is getting boots on the ground, so to speak, to get these folks registered...especially in key swing states. Efforts in this endeavor has resulted in a 25% net success rate after reaching out to new residents via Register to Vote post cards. That's 25% more than we would have had without the effort...

Ultimately, I have complete faith in God's plan but if there is something I can do to help it along, I'm all in.

Many thought she would take Feinstein's seat...maybe she still will somewhere down the line. But what if they have bigger plans for her? If you don't have to be a member of Congress to be nominated, is it possible? She'd have the democrat vote for sure and there are enough RINO's who hate Trump who might vote for her too...

Why was he allowed to live when so many others in Obama’s circle were not? What makes him different?

A good patriot has been diagnosed with cancer. I saved this link to resources when it was posted https://greatawakening.win/p/141En9fpDM/compilation-of-alternative-cance/ but several of the pages on the benefits of fenbendazole have been censored or deleted from the internet. Can't even pull up Joe Tippen's story from the way back machine. If anyone has an archived link to this story they can share, I'd be much grateful.

So we listened to Riley's interview linked in another thread. Afterward, we went for a walk and the conversation naturally lent itself to what we had just heard. My husband is a God fearing patriot who served two tours in Iraq. He is military through and through.

My position: If the military didn't remove bodily autonomy by compelling members of the armed forces to put things into their bodies that they didn't want, people like Riley would still be in the military.

His position: Members of the armed services lose the right to bodily autonomy when they join. If one is ordered to take a given series of vaccines or meds, then one should have faith in the higher-ups who've deemed it necessary and follow those orders. If members of the military are allowed to pick and choose what they put in their bodies, then the chain of command breaks down and weakens the military as a whole. He went on to say that he was given all kinds of things when he served and he never questioned it. "It's the military way."

My counter position: But the c-19 vaccine was experimental and was only authorized for emergency use, which is why the FDA rushed the approval in order to give a legal leg to stand on with regard to the mandate. I contend that if members of the military have the right to refuse to put something in their bodies, then at least they are protected from anyone at the top who is involved in nefarious actions.

His contention: the military can't categorize orders (medical, combat etc) and function properly. An order is an order. Those who can't or won't follow them have the opportunity to leave the military.

We rarely talk about this kind of thing and today I was reminded of why...I can't help but wonder based on the Riley interview and papers if the CCP wasn't fully aware of this military mindset and this was part of their plan to weaken our military all along...with the help of JB of course...

While channel surfing last night I came across a "Vote, Vote, Vote" PSA. The message was unlike any other voting PSA I've ever seen. To paraphrase:

"Come on Georgia...get out and VOTE, VOTE, VOTE! Oh and btw, once you do, your vote becomes public record. But VOTE, VOTE, VOTE!"

So why am I wondering if this is voter intimidation in the form of a PSA?

1. I'm suspicious of everything now that I'm awake.

2. I feel like it was a message directed specifically at the D's who plan to vote RED. "Get out and vote...and WE WILL KNOW HOW YOU VOTED...but VOTE!"

Thoughts?

An excellent article to read from beginning to end by Chris Perry.

Twenty four years ago, in Nashville , Tennessee, during the first week of January, 1996, more than 4,000 baseball coaches descended upon the Opryland Hotel for the 52nd annual ABCA's convention.

While I waited in line to register with the hotel staff, I heard other more veteran coaches rumbling about the lineup of speakers scheduled to present during the weekend. One name, in particular, kept resurfacing, always with the same sentiment — “John Scolinos is here? Oh, man, worth every penny of my airfare.” Who is John Scolinos, I wondered. No matter; I was just happy to be there.

In 1996, Coach Scolinos was 78 years old and five years retired from a college coaching career that began in 1948 He shuffled to the stage to an impressive standing ovation, wearing dark polyester pants, a light blue shirt, and a string around his neck from which home plate hung — a full-sized, stark-white home plate.

Seriously, I wondered, who is this guy?

After speaking for twenty-five minutes, not once mentioning the prop hanging around his neck, Coach Scolinos appeared to notice the snickering among some of the coaches. Even those who knew Coach Scolinos had to wonder exactly where he was going with this, or if he had simply forgotten about home plate since he’d gotten on stage. Then, finally …

“You’re probably all wondering why I’m wearing home plate around my neck,” he said, his voice growing irascible. I laughed along with the others, acknowledging the possibility. “I may be old, but I’m not crazy. The reason I stand before you today is to share with you baseball people what I’ve learned in my life, what I’ve learned about home plate in my 78 years.”

Several hands went up when Scolinos asked how many Little League coaches were in the room. “Do you know how wide home plate is in Little League?”

After a pause, someone offered, “Seventeen inches?”, more of a question than answer.

“That’s right,” he said. “How about in Babe Ruth’s day? Any Babe Ruth coaches in the house?” Another long pause.

“Seventeen inches?” a guess from another reluctant coach.

“That’s right,” said Scolinos. “Now, how many high school coaches do we have in the room?” Hundreds of hands shot up, as the pattern began to appear. “How wide is home plate in high school baseball?”

“Seventeen inches,” they said, sounding more confident.

“You’re right!” Scolinos barked “And you college coaches, how wide is home plate in college?”

“Seventeen inches!” we said, in unison.

“Any Minor League coaches here? How wide is home plate in pro ball?”............“Seventeen inches!”

“RIGHT! And in the Major Leagues, how wide home plate is in the Major Leagues?

“Seventeen inches!”

“SEV-EN-TEEN INCHES!” he confirmed, his voice bellowing off the walls. “And what do they do with a Big League pitcher who can’t throw the ball over seventeen inches?” Pause. “They send him to Pocatello !” he hollered, drawing raucous laughter “What they don’t do is this: they don’t say, ‘Ah, that’s okay, Jimmy. If you can’t hit a seventeen-inch target? We’ll make it eighteen inches or nineteen inches We’ll make it twenty inches so you have a better chance of hitting it. If you can’t hit that, let us know so we can make it wider still, say twenty-five inches.'”

Pause “Coaches… what do we do when your best player shows up late to practice? or when our team rules forbid facial hair and a guy shows up unshaven? What if he gets caught drinking? Do we hold him accountable? Or do we change the rules to fit him? Do we widen home plate? "

The chuckles gradually faded as four thousand coaches grew quiet, the fog lifting as the old coach’s message began to unfold. He turned the plate toward himself and, using a Sharpie, began to draw something. When he turned it toward the crowd, point up, a house was revealed, complete with a freshly drawn door and two windows. “This is the problem in our homes today. With our marriages, with the way we parent our kids. With our discipline.

We don’t teach accountability to our kids, and there is no consequence for failing to meet standards. We just widen the plate!”

Pause. Then, to the point at the top of the house he added a small American flag. “This is the problem in our schools today. The quality of our education is going downhill fast and teachers have been stripped of the tools they need to be successful, and to educate and discipline our young people. We are allowing others to widen home plate! Where is that getting us?”

Silence. He replaced the flag with a Cross. “And this is the problem in the Church, where powerful people in positions of authority have taken advantage of young children, only to have such an atrocity swept under the rug for years. Our church leaders are widening home plate for themselves! And we allow it.”

“And the same is true with our government. Our so called representatives make rules for us that don’t apply to themselves. They take bribes from lobbyists and foreign countries. They no longer serve us. And we allow them to widen home plate! We see our country falling into a dark abyss while we just watch.”

I was amazed. At a baseball convention where I expected to learn something about curve balls and bunting and how to run better practices, I had learned something far more valuable.

From an old man with home plate strung around his neck, I had learned something about life, about myself, about my own weaknesses and about my responsibilities as a leader. I had to hold myself and others accountable to that which I knew to be right, lest our families, our faith, and our society continue down an undesirable path.

“If I’m lucky,” Coach Scolinos concluded, “you will remember one thing from this old coach today. It is this: "If we fail to hold ourselves to a higher standard, a standard of what we know to be right; if we fail to hold our spouses and our children to the same standards, if we are unwilling or unable to provide a consequence when they do not meet the standard; and if our schools & churches & our government fail to hold themselves accountable to those they serve, there is but one thing to look forward to …”

With that, he held home plate in front of his chest, turned it around, and revealed its dark black backside, “…We have dark days ahead!.”

Note: Coach Scolinos died in 2009 at the age of 91, but not before touching the lives of hundreds of players and coaches,including mine. Meeting him at my first ABCA convention kept me returning year after year, looking for similar wisdom and inspiration from other coaches. He is the best clinic speaker the ABCA has ever known because he was so much more than a baseball coach. His message was clear: “Coaches, keep your players—no matter how good they are—your own children, your churches, your government, and most of all, keep yourself at seventeen inches.

And this my friends is what our country has become and what is wrong with it today, and now go out there and fix it!

"Don't widen the plate."

Me: Why's the flag lowered to have staff?

Him: Haven't you heard the Queen of England died?

Me: Wait, so we lower the U.S. flag for foreign dignitaries? Since when?

Him: We just do what we're told around here.

So am I so country bumpkin that I missed somewhere along the way that we lower our flag for foreign heads of state/dignitaries? Someone please enlighten me.

Taking my grandparents on vacation and want to cut down on their risk of getting the coof. Does anyone have the preventative protocol for taking the mectin? Appreciate any help from my frens.

Thanks in advance.

Traveled out of the country with a group of people for a 4-day weekend. Per cdc and the resident in chief, US citizens must show proof of a negative Covid test prior to returning to the states. Three members of my party, myself included, failed the coof test and have been holed up in quarantine for the last 6 days. During that time I missed my civic duty by not being able to vote in the GA primary…had to watch corruption from afar. Have spent countless hours on GAW and others, just to pass the time. Fast forward to today when we were set to leave…nope. We are stuck for another 5 days despite being a-symptomatic, we are still testing positive. The doctor who did the testing asked the three of us if we had been vaccinated. One of us ( not me or the spouse) has been three times vaxed. When I told the doc that I preferred not to say, she said, “then I will take that as a no”. “If you had the vaccine you’d probably get out of here sooner.” In that moment I think I had what can only be described as an out of body experience. “Fuck you”, I said. “ you have no right to ask and have no way of knowing if what you said is true”. “Just ask my vaxed and boosted friend here”. “And don’t even get me started on the fucking PCR test you want to ram up my nose!” Yes, I completely lost my shit.

Rest assured frens…while masses of illegals cross our southern border to get cash and a free phone, exposing all who cross their path, my party is safely sheltering place because our government has banned us from returning home.

End of rant.

They’ve called it for Herschel Walker too.
