My Grandmother Had a Bible, a Rocking Chair, and a Heart of Gold… Your Kids Have TikTok and Anxiety Meds. – “I was maybe six years old when this started. I did not want to sit still. I wanted to watch cartoons. I wanted to play outside. I wanted to do literally anything except listen to some old lady read ancient words I barely understood. She did not care what I wanted. “Come here, Lily.” And I came. Every single Sunday. For YEARS. She would read to me. Not the kid-friendly Bible story books with the cartoon Noah and his happy zoo animals. The actual Bible. Genesis. Exodus. The Psalms. Proverbs. The Gospels. Revelation. And here’s the thing nobody tells you about sitting in your grandmother’s living room listening to Scripture for hours (and yes, it was HOURS, it gets inside you. The words embed themselves in your brain like muscle memory.. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.” – Lily-Rose Dawson – GOOD ONE FROM LILY!!!

What Is Good, What Feels Good -“How do we distinguish what is good from what is evil? How may we be certain we are adhering to God’s Law and not rationalizing our disobedience of God’s Law? Certainly we can look to Scripture to know at least the letter of God’s Law. Yet when we look to Scripture we also see that simply knowing the letter of God’s Law is not enough.” – Peter Nayland Kust

Permanent Israel US data fusion for a permanent military and surveillance state – “This is an excellent explanation of the next level surveillance state which Israel will own through Integration with the Pentagon and something called Data Fusion. The bill is fast tracking through the US. After which it may be difficult to call the US sovereign. This is coup through legislation. Aka bill c-9. But aipac is not foreign interference. It is a calculated, pre-planned change in the direction. By walking away from standard cash aid, a new system is being built to replace it: total digital and military integration of USA and Israel. Congress is fast tracking a piece of legislation that moves the USA – Israel relationship away from transparent cash transfers and directly locks Israeli mass surveillance artificial intelligence into the infrastructure of the United States.” – LawyerLisa– HAVE LINKRD SEVERAL ABOUT THIS THE PAST FEW DAYS!!!

Democracy is a Silly (and Evil) Lie – “Why is it that authoritarian collectivist states regularly use the word “democracy” to describe themselves? As for example the German Democratic Republic (DDR), aka the former East Germany. Or this country, in which we hear endlessly about how very democratic it is. Never mind (to cite one recent example) the way Kamala Harris was simply decreed to be the Democratic Party’s nominee for president. Such things ought to suggest something about what “democracy” actually is – as opposed to what some try to get you to believe that it is. Even more telling is that wherever you hear the most about “democracy,” there’s very little of it in practice.” – Eric Peters

The Modern “Red Calendar” And The Death Of Pride Month – “It should be noted that, even at the peak of the Bolshevik movement’s influence, the reds only represented around 23% of the total Russian population and were never a majority. However, they had substantial monetary backing from overseas (read Antony Sutton’s extensive study titled “Wall Street And The Bolshevik Revolution). Think of this as an “NGO funded rebellion”, the kind of thing we are witnessing in America today with militant woke activists. It was this international backing that gave the communists the boost they needed to take physical control of the government. But what they really needed was control over the general populace. One tactic they relied on in the early stages of the takeover was the use of a “Red Calendar”. If this phrase is unfamiliar to you, you’re not alone. Most people have never heard of it. The Red Calendar was a propaganda program designed to eliminate and replace existing Russian holidays and religious observances with new, secular holidays.” – Brandon Smith

At which point will we begin to call Bibi president of the U.S.? – “The decision by Trump to strike Iran on February 28th was remarkable in that it was a decision that Trump more or less took while disregarding his chief of staff and most of the cabal of decision makers around him, in preference for what Israel was insisting was a quick, winnable weekend war.” – Martin Jay

Trump Denies Breaking Peace Pledge, Vows To ‘Blow The Hell Out Of’ Iran If Nuclear Deal Fails – “Sunday morning on NBC’s Meet the Press. Speaking with moderator Kristen Welker, Trump pushed back against the notion that he broke a cornerstone campaign promise to avoid entering the United States into foreign conflicts, while simultaneously touting recent rapid military actions in both Iran and Venezuela. “I didn’t promise anything. I don’t like these endless wars. This is not an endless war,” Trump said. He questioned why he would have built up the military if he never intended to use it,” – Mike Jenkins

Lebanon on fire: Why Israel derailed US-Iran diplomacy – “The situation in Lebanon has pushed Iran out of the negotiating process with the US and has once again shown that Middle Eastern diplomacy today depends less on formal negotiations than on what is happening on the ground.” – Murad Sadygzade

Gladiators, Fighters, Warriors, Violence – “Let the Cage Fights Begin! By the way, it’s the UFC Freedom 250 fight card. Because nothing celebrates “freedom” like cage fights. Are you not entertained? America, of course, increasingly resembles the decadent Roman Empire without the victories. ” – Bill Astore

GOP firebrand lashes out at reporter over Massie allegation: ‘F— you, first of all!’ – “Rep.

This is Why the U.S. Does Not Need a Fast Deal With Iran. – “The United States has no urgency to cut a deal with Iran because the economic and strategic balance of power has tilted decisively in Washington’s favor: Iran is suffering a historic collapse in oil revenues, inflation at World War II levels, and a currency in free fall, while the U.S. is growing, creating jobs, and exporting record volumes of oil and gas.” – Daniel Lacalle – NOT SURE I AGREE WITH DABIELLE’S ANALYSIS ON THIS ONE!!!

Thomas Massie’s Defeat and the Coming Fiscal Crisis – “Recent Washington mayhem added powerful momentum to the fiscal doomsday path upon which the Federal government was already hurtling.

Already, in fact, after one full term and 511 days of the second one, the public debt has grown by $11 trillion on the Donald’s watch alone.

Build Your Beds: Borders, Compost, and Soil (VIDEO) – Leah Webb

I’m Looking at Land Again… Here’s Why – “I’ve been thinking about buying another piece of property, and in this video I walk through one of the places I’ve been looking at. It’s a little over five acres, already cleared enough for a home, with utilities nearby, fiber internet available, and enough privacy to make it interesting. There are a few things I like about it… and a few things I’m not so sure about.” – M.D. Creekmore

Most Root Cellar Are Flawed. Is Yours? – Jack

The First Outbreak Starts in Someone’s Yard – “Most people imagine collapse as a food problem, a power problem, or a security problem. They picture empty shelves, dark streets, dead phones, dry taps, and maybe a few desperate neighbours knocking on doors. What they do not picture is the yard. Bags of garbage split open by animals. Buckets of waste sitting too close to the house. Dishwater dumped wherever it is convenient. Pets dragging filth back onto the porch. Rainwater flowing through the wrong part of the property and carrying the problem with it. That is where the first local outbreak starts.” – denob

LYRIC FOR THE WEEK

Darkness, darkness
Be my pillow
Take my hand
And let me sleep
In the coolness of your shadow
In the silence of your deepDarkness, darkness
Hide my yearning
For the things I cannot be
Keep my mind from constant turning
Toward the things I cannot see now
Things I cannot see now
Things I cannot seeDarkness, darkness
Long and lonesome
Ease the day that brings me pain
I have felt the edge of sadness
I have known the depth of fear
Darkness, darkness, be my blanket
Cover me with the endless night
Take away, take away the pain of knowing
Fill the emptiness of right now
Emptiness of right now, now, now
Emptiness of right now

Darkness, darkness, be my pillow
Take my hand, and let me sleep
In the coolness of your shadow
In the silence, the silence of your deep
Darkness, darkness, be my blanket
Cover me with the endless night
Take away, take away the pain of knowing
Fill the emptiness of right now
Emptiness of right now now now
Emptiness of right…
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Emptiness, emptiness
Oh yeah
