All this hopium is really nice. But it iis only that - hopium in an echo chamber. If we want to survive we better be working our collective asses off from now to election and from top to bottom. Liberal school boards are still defying directives to moderate curriculum. ESG and DEI are still a strong force, even if not allowed to be discussed - the action is still there in state and local governments, businesses and universities. This may be our last chance to turn the entire country, but it won't happen if we sit around and congratulate ourselves on our hopium status.
So I was slammed when I refused the mask during the first hysteria - will I then be slammed for wearing one when they launch this?
Chairborne All the way!
Gavin only gets the nod if he agrees NOT to run and to allow Michele to avoid the messiness of the primaries and be parachuted in at the last minute as the saving White Knight
Oh, is something amiss with the lady from California?
Maybe somebody will post about it
The bill referred to in the Article titled the PRIME act was initially introduced by Mr Massie of KY in the 117 Congress 2017 and had bipartisan support. He reintroduced the Act in the 118 Congress on 25 Apr 2023 and again has bipartisan co-sponsorship.
If enacted, it will allow family farms with limited distribution to bypass the costly USDA inspections.
Many here will recall the stories of Amish farmers being raided and shut down for selling subscription based farm processed meats and dairy. This will be a significant step to mitigate those over-reach abuses and put a dent in the Big Ag choke hold on our food.
Because no one wants to be seen with FJB...and no one wants to be linked with he who shall not be named
Don't kid yourself...this is not going to break the NYC budget. The American taxpayer is already paying for all this - Medical, education, food, lodging - thru block grants and other direct payments allocated by Departments and Agencies. NY will try to tax the people of the states before they raise their own (obscene) taxes. But they cannot give up the sacred shibboleth and so this will continue.
Congress must make a LAW that we the people will not bail out bankrupt states and cities. It is not my responsibility as a citizen of the Commonwealth of Virginia to pay for sanctuary city crime and squalor (NYC) or to pay for excessive union wage and retirement scales (Chicago) or the cradle to grave support for illegals (Calif). I am already subsidizing all of that by my taxes. I didn't get to vote for all that and so believe it constitutes taxation without representation.
looks fake to me. First, the lines on the "island" are slanted...looks like a manipulation artifact. Second, altho I can't tell from this angle, it looks like they are raising the colors on the flight deck....not gonna happen
Would look for a sea dog to weigh in...
Well, let's bring the guilty bastard forward and give him a fair trial. We'll hang him in the morning
yes, I did see i there several weeks ago, but it is well worth keeping in the cycle for awareness
Juju...is that a doggie sneeze?
Is this Watch the Water?
No, main line Protestant, relatively more fundamentalist (I hate labels, but they are sometimes helpful)
I did explore the Catholic church. I found the imagery to be really moving but there was no focus on repentance/redemption/salvation. That I believe to be the bedrock foundation of the Christian faith.
I do not disagree that there does exist a social Gospel. However, I believe that we are taught that works without faith is meaningless and so everything MUST be built of repentance and rebirth. I am not a theologian and so I have a pretty simple understanding...God is Love, We are separated from God by our own sin. We are restored to Him and live in His presence and experience His love by sincere repentance and acceptance of the gift of salvation.
Rather than filter my Biblical understanding thru some social construct, I filter my social views thru a Biblical prism such as I am given understanding built on daily reading.
I attend and am active in a "main line" Protestant church. My family and I left another of those main line churches because of the liberalism. I am not a member and will not be because I believe that denominationalism is counter Biblical and is a fracture of the the intended unity of the Body.
My own experience leads me to understand how to search for a church home in two ways and you need both - head and heart. You need to find someplace that will provide Biblically sound teaching. This is not cherry picking favorite passages to "prove" a socio-political or theological point, but is teaching the entirety of the Bible.
The other aspect is your feeling. I will tell you that this is one I have struggled with but I sincerely believe it to be true. When you walk into a sanctuary, you should feel...something. It is different - it is a holy place and you should feel something different inside yourself. That feeling is the Comforter that was promised and if you pay attention, you will be led deeper into fellowship with the Almighty and everlasting Creator-God
I have said previously that I think there is a great likelihood that the election (if conducted) will be the precipice. The outcome will be the spark that leads to an explosion. The only difference is how soon the explosion happens. If Trump is allowed to win, the streets will explode overnight. If the other guys declare victory, patriots will go into a defensive posture. The left will claim a mandate and overreach and some incident akin to the Bundy ranch will occur, this time with actual firefights.
The military will be forced to act.....which side will they choose? As a retired soldier and federal contractor, I've watched the decay of our military professionally and ethically for over 40 years. I am not as sanguine about that choice as are many on this board.
No, blackface only for libs (PM Trudeau, Gov Ralph Northum).
Don't really need blackface to claim minority status (Rachel Dozal, Eliz Warren)
The long list of persecuted and even tortured and slain saints demonstrates that not all will survive in this realm. We pray for deliverance and pray for strength to face what is coming.
he's out....either he resigns or they will vacate the chair.
Of course, he might not survive the next election
Ah, yes....Catch 22, isn't it
I have an unpopular Doom and gloom outlook -
The left knows what will happen if Trump takes office with control of Congress. Also, the right knows the same if Biden or whoever has the unconstrained power. Odds at this time appear to point in favor of Trump and good odds of controlling both houses, but very shaky.
If either case, I believe we are setting up for the election to be the spark that sets off an explosion. No matter who wins, the other side will realize they are to be targeted and eliminated. I believe the key difference is that a Trump win will cause more immediate response in the streets, but if it goes the other way patriots will build for a defensive struggle. But the left will continue to poke until they get a reaction that validates their call for extreme measures.
All of that assumes we have an election. The only way out is for President Obama (or whoever it is that is ultimately in charge) to declare martial law and preclude elections and suppress all right wing and libertarian patriots.
Many here have confidence in the military to stand with America. As a retired soldier and then defense contractor, I have watched the erosion of our military for over 40 years and I am not so sanguine.
Almighty and everlasting Father, hear and have mercy
needs to be a class action law suit to the SCOTUS
"Knowingly"
Well I guess it goes a long way to explaining how the Muzzies set up their own parallel government and No Go zones
