"This is our calling", by NEFFEX.

Just heard it for the first time today, and it sounded really on-point for where we're at. Enjoy!

I LOVE celebrating the time the Republicans freed the slaves!

Here’s a shorter, 18 minute bite…but I’m insulted you won’t just blindly follow whatever I choose to post, haha

This is treason. It would be nice to have a Congress with the balls to prosecute it as such.

I love this!. But I'm sincerely curious: are there any known cases where such a letter worked?

If I've learned anything from the past few years, it's that the law doesn't count for a damned thing if it isn't followed or enforced. So it looks like the legal argmuent here is solid...but I'm very skeptical about such a letter having the intended effect.

Thanks!

Actually, I just kicked the tires. It really does talk like that. Apparently, there are actually several different "characters" to chat with, but the one the OP linked to (https://beta.character.ai/chat?char=Qu8qKq7ET9aO-ujfPWCsNoIilVabocasi-Erp-pNlcc) is deeply philosophical. I just had a quick chat about whether people are inherently good, and it was a better conversation that I can have with most real people!

Christianity can definitely stand up to questioning. I highly recommend you check out Stand To Reason and Cross Examined, two sites that do an excellent job discussing a wide range of questions about the validity/hisotricity of the Bible, of Jesus, all of that.

Good luck!

From the Why Files channel. This guy's videos are consistently entertaining and informative.

This clip is from the end of his most recent video, and rattles off a LONG list of zero-point energy researchers that...died suddenly.

It's the best possible way of saying there's a nefarious Deep State without saying it.

He should announce that if the DOJ has any questions, they can speak to Ligma / Johnson

Thanks. I agree, this isn't a small project. It's frustrating that it's taking so long, but since I'm convinced that they're doing something behind the scenes, I'm taking that as a sign that they're being very thorough. :-)

As I think about it, I've only ever said "go straight". And I always will.

These past few years have taught me a lot, and one of the most important lessons is how powerful yet subtle language is in changing societal attitudes. And we've been letting the other team win battle after battle because it just didn't seem like a big deal to say "forward" instead of "straight" for the sake of unity. After all, they mean basically the same thing, right? But after concession after concession, we find we are on the verge of losing everything.

So I'm launching a language counter-offensive. No more euphemisms to allow them to obscure the truth about what they're doing. In fact, I am fighting back with full-strength dysphemism to force them to face the ugly reality.

Now, I refuse to say "abortion", referring to it instead by the more intellectually honest term "infanticide". If somebody wants to argue my use of the word, I challenge them to prove to me that it is NOT infanticide--it's a battle they cannot win.

Similarly, instead of asking "so what did your doctor say", I'll now ask "what did your pharmaceutical rep say"?

Instead of "Susan is a social studies teacher at the local public elementary school", I would say "Susan is an indoctrination agent at the local reeducation camp."

And so on. At this point, I could care less if anybody is offended; I'll not have peace with monsters.

The most important battles in this war will not be fought with bullets, but with words. Happy hunting!

Today I learned that searches show in caps on that site. Thanks!

I’m not sure this qualifies as exact: “My fellow” should be all caps.

These questions have already been answered. And there are GOOD answers out there, not the dismissive, unsatisfying answers your friend has encountered.

A few consistently informative and intelligent YouTubers (yes, YouTube, sorry!) I recommend would be:

Mike Winger

Cross Examined

Stand To Reason

And before you even start watching any of those, I very highly recommend Lee Strobel's The Case for Christ. That one has an interesting background: he's an investigative journalist that thought religion was made-up BS, just like your co-worker, and he set out to prove it. He focused specifically on Christianity. And by the time he was finished with all of his interviews, he was utterly convinced that Jesus was indeed the son of God, who truly lived in Israel more then 2,000 years ago, was crucified by Roman soldiers and died, and rose from the dead only a few days later, as witnessed by many. And that anybody that acknowledges him as their lord and savior will be forgiven and spared God's coming judgement for his sake. (If that sounds crazy, it's only because you haven't read Lee Strobel's book yet...)

God bless!

I don't get it either. Why is it so important to the leftists to celebrate that time the Republicans freed the slaves?! Well, they're welcome to celebrate it all they want, and I make sure they understand that's what they're celebrating ;-)

Atlas Shrugged, by Ayn Rand. It's eerily prophetic.
