THE BIG PICTURE

What an Interesting Time to Be Alive – “There is substantial evidence that a very real Christian revival is gaining energy. Older people who have perhaps lost their way are picking up dusty Bibles to see just what truths lie within.  What would have seemed quite unusual last decade is becoming almost commonplace: athletes, musicians, actors, and academics are bearing witness to Christ’s purposeful influence upon their lives. Even politicians who forgot Jesus’s name as they became worshipful converts to the “green” religion are slowly recovering from decades of amnesia and remembering the King of kings. In this wildfire of technological change, global conflict, and spiritual upheaval, the challenges all around us feel daunting. If you will allow me to offer minor encouragement, it is this: do not look away. Do not let the noise distract your thoughts. Do not let the madness drive you mad. Do not let potential dangers drown you in fear. Be resolute. Be purposeful. Be hopeful. Be brave. Of what are they afraid? They are afraid of you. They fear your voice, your private thoughts, and your desire to be free. You have untapped power that they see. What an interesting time to be alive.” – J.B. Shurk  -VERY GOOD READ FROM J.B.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Polar vortex to blast US with life-threatening cold next week: ‘There’s no escaping this’ – “Most of the U.S. will enjoy milder temperatures on Thursday, but the warmup will be brief as a polar vortex will send temperatures tumbling below freezing for most of the nation starting this weekend. Enjoy it while it lasts, however, because it’s about to get brutally cold. How cold? All the Lower 48 states and more than 80% of the population will see temperatures drop below freezing. “Looking at the wind chill, that adds a whole other layer to this,” Merwin said. “I mean, it will feel like negative 50 degrees in some spots across America come Monday morning.”” – Steven Yablonski  – UH, I THOUGHT WE WERE HAVING GLOBAL WARMING. WHERE’S AL GORE WHEN YOU NEED HIM!!!

An Arctic Invasion for Much of the Nation Gets Underway Early This Weekend…Bitter Cold for Inauguration Day – “An Arctic invasion with a Siberian connection will get underway by the early part of the weekend as bitter cold air from Canada plunges southward through the central states. By Sunday, the Arctic air mass will spread eastward towards the Atlantic seaboard and by the time we get to Monday, Inauguration Day, most of the country will be in a deep freeze including the DC metro where outdoor activities are planned for the swearing-in ceremonies. Temperatures are going to fall to well below-normal levels across much of the nation for the bulk of next week which is quite impressive indeed considering this is right around the time of year with the lowest “normal” temperatures.” – Paul Dorian

CDC Data: Covid ‘Vaccines’ Caused 112,000% Surge in Brain Clots – “According to Johns Hopkins Medicine, cerebral thromboembolism occurs when a blood clot forms in the brain’s venous sinuses. This prevents blood from draining out of the brain. This chain of events is part of a stroke that can damage the brain and central nervous system and cause sudden death. It is a known side effect of Covid mRNA shots. The study examined data on reports of cerebral thromboembolism following Covid shots submitted to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and federal Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS). They analyzed all reports from January 1990 through December 2023.” – Frank Bergman

NEWS

Joe Biden: An Assessment – “You’re aware, I’m sure, that a lot of people thought “Joe Biden” was being play-acted in the White House over his four years there by a series of look-alike actors. You saw those news items comparing “JB’s” earlobes to the old gaffer who showed up at the podium on a given day. Hmmmmmm. . . . I was not persuaded by any of that. “Joe Biden” has simply been impersonating himself — play-acting the role of “president.” The mystery is how he got there. You can expect very shortly, probably only a matter of weeks, to see a raft of news stories, soon-to-be big-money books, revealing the utter sustained chaos that churned behind the pathetic, half-animate figure pretending to be “chief executive” of the US government lo these dismal four years past. Whose idea was it, anyway, back in the spring of 2020, to retrieve this broken hack from the dumpster of discarded Democratic Party primary candidates and jam him into the role of nominee for president? You’d suspect Barack Obama, of course, Except Mr. Obama famously disdained his former veep.” – James Howard Kunstler

Thou Doth Protest Too Little—Methinks – “Why is it, when I critique Trump (after advising we vote for him), I am met mostly with silence from readers, or asked to go easy on him? The reason is seemingly apparent. When you critique Trump, you are criticizing Israel, Jewish monied interests, haters of Iran, haters of China, and disparaging a hope that Trump is going solve our problems. Trump, viewed objectively, is Teddy Roosevelt with nuclear weapons. Trump’s another huge personality, who sees the world as a chessboard on which to move his pieces around. Trump is going to do some good things—but he needs viewed with skepticism. ” – neverhadaboss.com – ANOTHER GOOD READ FROM ERIK, AS WELL FROM THE OTHER ERIC BELOW!!!

The Mafia’s Adjustments – “Who is going to pay for the losses – probably in the billions – incurred in California as a result of the fires fueled by incompetence and malice as much as Santa Anna winds? It won’t be the insurance mafia. Which is a mafia in a literal as well as rhetorical sense because it makes people offers they cannot refuse. They face repercussions – enforced by the state – if they fail to hand over money for . . . protection. The latter often being declined once damages are incurred. People who thought they were or would be “protected” discover they’re not. And just in the nick of time, too. See also the recent dirty business in Western North Carolina after the hurricane-related flooding that thousands of homeowners have discovered wasn’t “protected” (that is, “covered”) and never mind the years and even decades of paying for it. ” – Eric Peters

Lies, Lies, and More Lies – “Where to start on a day with so many lies in the news. Biden warned America about the high dangers of having billionaire oligarchs control democracy. Of course, he is only concerned now that so many of them have lined up on Trump’s side of the fence. BlackRock is evenly distributing its contributions among both parties because Congress is narrowly divided between them and control of the House is expected to change hands after the November elections…. “They’re playing the game well….” Clearly they are not doing giving to both because they believe in one side or the other. It’s solely to curry favor with both sides so they always have plenty of plum politicians in their pockets. But Biden’s friends got plenty of buy-in. Spreading that money around is what helps you get your people into those positions of power and influence.” – David Haggith  – GOOD READ FROM DAVID!!!!!!!!!

Getting Russia Wrong: A Quarter Century of Putin – “It started out rather differently than we now sometimes imagine it. When Vladimir Putin took over the Russian presidency from Boris Yeltsin 25 years ago, on New Year’s Eve 1999, he was seen as a man with whom Washington could do business. Expectations for an era of heightened U.S.–Russian cooperation began to unravel in the mid-2000s. Indeed, future historians (should there be any) will likely come to see the period between 2007 and 2012 as crucial to explaining why U.S.–Russian relations went so terribly wrong. It was, however, the grisly rape-murder of Libyan strongman Muammar Gaddafi in October 2011 that did more than most to poison Putin’s view of Washington and the way it does business. Yet after Gaddafi’s very public execution and the American secretary of state’s tasteless celebration of it, Moscow felt that Washington welched on the deal. For Putin, then waiting in the wings as prime minister, this was the likely point of no return. If that was his, what was ours?” – James W. Carden

Post-Trump Recession Odds Plunge – “Left-wing media is doing everything they can to talk Americans into a recession. With Donald Trump set to return to the White House in less than a week, legacy media is falling over itself to predict economic disaster.Of course, they’ve been at this since Trump won. Just 4 days after the November election the Associated Press ran an article callled “Frustrated Americans await the economic changes they voted for with Trump.” The challenge for Trump is getting his pro-growth policies — tax cuts, spending cuts, regulatory cuts, and drill baby drill — in place fast enough to take the wind out of the sails of Biden’s stagflation. This was always going to be tricky, especially the spending cuts which reduce GDP in the short term but grow the economy ten-fold in the long-term.” – Peter St Onge

Homesteading Lessons I Learned from the Amish – “there’s one group in modern society that has chosen to live without electricity—the Amish. For centuries, they’ve preserved food, lit their homes, worked the land, and cooked their meals without relying on power. They use human labor, hand tools, wood stoves, and animal power to live comfortably. For those looking to thrive through long-term power outages, the Amish can teach us valuable lessons. ” – Ryan Dotson – I LINK A LOT OF AMISH ARTICLES BECAUSE YOU CAN LEARN A LOT FROM THEM ..
