THE BIG PICTURE

Joseph, The Father Of Jesus – “Priests and pastors often have much to say about Mary, the mother of Jesus. A virgin, she conceived through the power of the Holy Spirit, giving birth to the Son of God in human form. This is the central narrative arc in the Nativity story. For this alone, Mary is an important figure within Christian religious traditions. But what about Joseph? How much faith must Joseph have had? He had only a visitation by an angel, and that visitation came in the manner of a dream. That was the only assurance Joseph had that his raising the child Jesus was what God had planned. We may fairly surmise that Joseph remained a key figure in Jesus early life, for when the people marveled at Jesus and His teachings, they spoke of Him as Joseph’s son. Despite knowing that Jesus was not his child, Joseph willingly raised Jesus, presenting Him to the world as his child. Joseph did all this with only the assurance of a visitation during a dream that he was following God’s plan for him. How much faith must Joseph have had to do all this?” – Peter Nayland Kust

‘A Merry Heart Doeth Good Like A Medicine’ – An Admonition To Savor And Enjoy This Holiday Season As We Enter A Hectic 2026 – “Sure, there is a lot going wrong in the world today, but you can never get to the point where you stop giving thanks. That’s a huge problem we see everywhere and around the world: whiny, privileged, spoiled brats that are not content with anything, wallowing in their troughs of excess, never happy with what they got and even think to give thanks for it. Of course, this was prophesied to occur in the last days, and indeed we do see it on display everywhere we go.” – The WinePress

Nativity Scenes and Christmas Trees – “What it was like before Diversity Barriers and Multicultural Bollards became the norm… Buenos Aires, Argentina… Christmas trees… nativity scenes… kids on shoulders… it certainly felt like a festive occasion. But there was something not quite right. Something was… missing. Maybe it was the lack of rooftop snipers, as seen here ahead of planned celebrations at Sydney’s Bondi Beach, where disarmed citizens are left to rely on the government’s Security State for their safety…” – Joel Bowman

DIGITAL SLAVERY: A Pastor’s Field Report on Digital Identity, Economic Coercion, and the Shape of the Beast – “The ‘Beast System’ is being rolled out right in front of your eyes and you don’t even realize it is happening…” – 🐺The Wise Wolf

Trump Administration Moves to Overhaul Childhood Vaccine Schedule, Embrace Informed Consent Mode – “Central to the administration’s emerging framework is Denmark’s approach to childhood vaccinations. While the current U.S. schedule calls for vaccinations against 18 infectious diseases, Denmark recommends the injections against 10—yet maintains excellent health outcomes.” – Sayer Ji

The Medical Mafia is Coming for Grandma – “Recently President Trump called the U.S. childhood vaccine schedule, requiring 72 doses, far more than any other country in the world, “ridiculous.” He directed the HHS to immediately fast-track a comprehensive review of childhood vaccine schedules. This inspired me to look into the CDC’s recommendations for older adults on Medicare. What I found, although not equally excessive as the childhood schedule, was growing and disturbing.” – Patti Johnson

Big Farma: How the American Bread Industry is Knowingly Poisoning Millions – “And Why the Agencies Supposedly Protecting You Could Not Care Less. If you have ever traveled to Europe, or if you know someone who has, you have probably heard this story. An American spends two weeks in Italy or France, eating bread and pasta at every meal, drinking wine, consuming more carbohydrates than they would normally allow themselves in a month, and they come home feeling fantastic. No bloating. No inflammation. No brain fog. No cramping. No emergency bathroom visits. Then they land at JFK, grab a sandwich at the airport deli, and within hours their gut is staging a full-scale revolt. This is not some psychosomatic response triggered by cobblestone streets and accordion music. The bread is fundamentally different, and the reasons it is different should make every American furious,” – Lily-Rose Dawson and 🐺The Wise Wolf  – A MUST READ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do only the stones remember? – “We would not make good communists. We of the democratic nations. Not the proper kind. Not the disciplined, purified kind. We would try — briefly — with the awkward sincerity of people wearing borrowed clothes. We would recite the words, mispronounce the vows, trip over the rules. Even if we meant well, we would break it. We always do. We know this about ourselves. Somehow, they do not.” – Sylvia Shawcross

Ponder this nightmare: A millennium-long con, stitched together in blood and delirium across Rome’s ruins and every “glorious” throne that crumbled to dust. They began as watchdogs. Morphed into the real tyrants—blades pressed to the jugular of empires, fingers deep in the coffers. They thrive on rape: extraction, enslavement, until the host shatters like brittle bone. Now they’ve orchestrated our downfall with surgical precision. Turned our ground into fodder for a $313 trillion debt inferno, a fever dream of insolvency.” – E.M. Burlingame  – E.M.

The Filibuster Is Hollowing Out the House, Why the GOP Is Walking Away – “The wave of Republican departures from the House is being misread. Commentators reach first for psychology, fatigue, ambition, or cowardice. They say Members are tired, or tempted by greener pastures, or afraid of hard fights. Those explanations are easy, and they are wrong. The more accurate explanation is institutional. ” – Amuse on X

Money and assets that are missing or otherwise unaccounted for measure in the trillions of dollars. This year’s Pentagon budget is roughly another trillion dollars. The cost of new nuclear weapons and the so-called golden dome defense system will likely exceed $2 trillion. No matter how naughty and wasteful the Pentagon is, it’s always getting more money from Santa Claus. What gives?” – Bill Astore

Gas is About to Get Expensive . . . – “A gallon of gas costs about twice as much in California as it does pretty much anywhere else in the United States. The reason why, of course, is that California makes it cost about twice as much – by reducing supply and by adding costs, chiefly for “environmental” reasons. This includes a new requirement – going into effect very soon (Dec. 31) that all gas stations must either replace singlewalled underground storage tanks or permanently close them – no matter whether the tanks are actually leaking and no matter how much it costs to replace them. How much is it going to cost? Obviously, this is an expense beyond the means of many independent gas station owners as the profit margin on gas is barely enough to stay in business selling gas. Of course, this is why there are very few gas stations left that just sell gas left, in California or anywhere else. Most have been taken over by corporate chains that sell everything except timeshares, with gas being the incidental thing they sell.” – Eric Peters  – THANK YOU WANNA BE PRES, GAVIN NEWSOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The U.S. Economy Is Stronger After One Year of Trump Administration – “he same analysts and institutions that applauded massive stimulus, monetary excess, and regulatory excess under the previous administration now struggle to explain why the U.S. economy, which they expected to sink into stagflation, is instead outperforming all of its G7 peers. Furthermore, the U.S. peers that followed net-zero, big government and big tax policies are in secular stagnation. From the “tariff tantrum” to a global surprise” – Daniel Lacalle

War On Silver, Now War For Silver (VIDEO) with Steve Quayle – “Those of us in the business have known that the powers that be have been making their war on silver for 50 years. For 50 years, they have been manipulating the price of silver . . . robbing primarily from the individual investor. The war on silver has passed. Now, we are looking at the war for silver that is underway. I am telling people to get what you can while you can because the day will come when silver and gold will be unobtainable. . .. It’s critical for people to acquire what they can acquire now in silver. Gold is always your savings. Silver, historically, has been your barter fund. Gold is your savings account for the future, and silver is your way to make it to the future.”” – Greg Hunter

It’s about learning how to harmonize with the rhythms of the earth, how to grow food and medicine even when the weather says otherwise. A greenhouse is a promise of continuity. It allows you to bridge the gap between seasons, nurturing life when the rest of the world lies dormant. This steady cycle reminds us that nature doesn’t stop working just because the temperature drops; it simply changes its pace, waiting for those who know how to listen and adapt.’ – Self-Sufficient Projects Staff

3 Versatile Rifles That Do It All – “For new gun owners looking to purchase their second or third firearm, it’s time to think about versatility. Here, we’ll take a look at a handful of guns that check many boxes, rather than being suitable for just one purpose. Some such guns are rifles, while others are large-format pistols. While others break down for easy storage, while others fold over. Some shoot pistol-caliber ammunition, with many chambering the reasonably priced, easy-to-find 9mm cartridge.” – Mark Chesnut
