This has me worried. We live in southeastern NC near the coast. We're expected to get around 10 inches of rain here, and our ground is already saturated from recent storms. This reeks of Hurricane Florence when the storm just parked and dumped rain for days and destroyed so many homes and lives. Please pray for the people who live within the most devastating part of this current system. It's looking like it's going to hit SC particularly hard. I heard one weatherman say they could get up to 30 inches of rain!
The UK is about to recreate the Battle of Helm's Deep and take out some Orcs. This whole situation is getting wild and starting to look more and more apocalyptic, like something from Hollywood. Take back your homeland, mates.
I don't understand why anyone is fawning over her. She's extremely egotistical and can't ever stop talking about race. She does not represent this country well. She berated someone earlier this week for having the audacity to comment on her hair. "You don't talk about black hair!" These people are unhinged.
I'm in southeastern NC. My husband's coworker is out for the next few days after testing positive for the coof this morning. And they were all sharing an office yesterday in a meeting, so...I expect my husband has probably brought it into the house. His coworker is twice vaccinated and says his main symptom is feeling like he's been hit by a truck. My husband and I are NOT vaccinated.
Two years ago, we both had something that made us feel the same way. I was running a fever of 102 for about three or four days and was in so much pain all over that I couldn't sleep. Once the fever broke, I ended up with a horrible, deep cough that took a few weeks to clear up completely. I'm not sure if it was Covid or the flu, but I never want that again. We did not have ivermectin at the time, but we do now, so I might take a dab or two tonight.
Same here. It's become so common and it bothers me now. I used to be able to ignore it, but so many people, especially young women, are walking around dropping F bombs and worse every other word. It's so ugly and says something about who you are on the inside. The Cardi Bs of the world have really done a number on culture.
That's the sound of a good percentage of modern minds. Remember in Idiocracy how everyone flocked to see a movie called Ass, and it was just a picture of a guy's ass? We're already there. We've devolved into juvenile cavemen fascinated by body fluids and fart noises.
They definitely did at the time the movies were released. Since the final film was released in 2003, I think the original story has become a bit passe for them and now they're reading it through Marxist and racial critical theory like they do everything else. They're incapable of enjoying good stories anymore. It ALL has to boil down to the oppression olympics.
I completely agree with you about the symbolism of the ring being completely destroyed. This is what must happen now. Centuries of corruption, slavery, and the evil powers of the Cabal must come to an end! LOTR is NOT entirely fiction.
Happy to meet a fellow LOTR frog fren, and another lady at that.
I wondered about the ghost warriors, too. That's one of my favorite parts of the third movie, but I'm not sure who they'd be. I like the idea of the ghosts of WWI and WWII coming to avenge their deaths to the military industrial complex.
The ents, too. When I originally got into the story many years ago, I thought maybe they were the Americans in both WWI and WWII, not getting involved until the sinking of the Lusitania and the bombing of Pearl Harbor. I think now, in today's world, they symbolize the people who are still apathetic about all this and have chosen not to pick a side, even as the world crumbles around them. There are still so many out there like this.
I read that many thought the Orcs were supposed to be the Japanese since Tolkien wrote the story during WWII, but there is really nothing to support it. People see whatever they want. Imagine how the films would look now, though. There would be black and brown elves and hobbits, even though the story is based entirely on northern European mythology/history.
First, Sam’s speech to Frodo:
“It’s all wrong. By rights, we shouldn’t even be here, but we are. It’s like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo, the ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger, they were. Sometimes you didn’t want to know the end because, how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But, in the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And, when the sun shines, it’ll shine out the clearer. Those are the stories that stayed with you, that meant something, even if you were too small to understand why. But, I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn’t. They kept going because they were holding on to something.”
“What are we holding on to, Sam?”
“That there’s some good in this world, Mr. Frodo. And it’s worth fighting for.”
The Lord of the Rings trilogy has been in the news lately, thanks largely to J.D. Vance and the left’s accusations that it’s a racist story and written for white supremacists. If you didn’t know that’s what they’re saying, here’s a link to sum it up:
Well, I’ve been a huge fan for 25 years, and my husband has loved it for even longer. We watched the entire trilogy over the past week and finished it last night after not having seen any of the films in over a decade. I cried many times at the parallels between the story and what is happening right now around the world. It all hits me so much harder now than it ever did before, even though the first film was released right after 9/11. We are living a dystopian modern version of LOTR right now.
After the movie ended last night, my husband and I talked about the different characters in the film and how they fit different people we’re seeing now. I don’t think that any one person necessarily fits any one character, but there are some obvious parallels. Saruman could be Soros or Gates, while Grima Wormtongue could be Anthony Fauci or any other Deep State lackey. Sauron, I think, is the person at the top who is running this entire operation, someone we’ve never seen with our eyes but we know they’re there. It could be one of the top families of the world, but it’s more likely Satan.
Trump is the closest thing we have to Aragorn right now, a man who left his old life behind to become what he was born to be, the leader for our time. Gandalf is the main God/Jesus/Archangel figure (and there could be others who play that role, like Aragorn or Frodo). Nayib Bukele and J.D. Vance are both something like a Legolas, young and energetic and going full blast on the enemy. We could go on and on.
But it’s the hobbits who represent us, I think, if we choose to be like them, and I find that the most inspiring of all. I want to be a Samwise in this fight and never give up on what I love in this world, even if I feel like a nobody and like nothing is ever going to get better. And that is why the left hates this story so much, because it is a reminder to treasure our tradition and history and greatness, and not to give it up to the enemy out of weakness and fear. Theoden King told us to stand up for our country and people, even at the end of the world, riding out to face death in the eye, and that’s what the hobbits did, too, even though they were small and seemingly insignificant. And in the end, even kings bowed down to them out of gratitude.
(When Trump “lost” the election in November 2020, I watched Theoden’s speech at the Battle of the Pelennor Fields again and again. Watch it here: https://youtu.be/7lwJOxN_gXc)
So, if you are feeling like all is lost, that life is hopeless, watch the trilogy or read the books, especially if you have never seen or read LOTR. I suspect that when Q says we are watching a movie that LOTR plays into this as well. Never has a story so perfectly portrayed the battle of darkness and light and the triumph of good over pure evil and corruption. Even when we are hanging at the edge of the abyss by a thread, the Light always wins.
This gave me some good lulz this morning.
There are so many Indians (fake and real) involved in the election this year compared to others. Kamala, Usha, Vivek, Nimrata Nikki, and then Harmeet Dhillon spoke at the RNC and many Indians were in the crowd. They're in the game now in the US. Funny. Where I live, I'm not even sure there's an Indian within 50 miles of me and only one Indian restaurant (not run by Indians). Their food is the best, though.
Agreed. It's not the mic. He sounds like he's having trouble forming certain words. You can hear the saliva in his mouth. If it is his mic, then someone set him up to sound bad.
