Being Holy Week and today, Good Friday, we all should take a good look at our world. The way the corrupt and powerful sell their souls for their 30 pieces of silver, and how they crush the average person is a repeat of history. These congress people that are worth millions of dollars, in some cases hundreds of millions of dollars, but vote against the will of the people have sold their souls for money. It’s communism versus liberty. Totalitarianism versus freedom. Good versus evil. And in the end after they crushed Jesus, He rose from the dead. Evil was defeated.
2000 years later, incredibly, this carpenter considers Him my savior and because of Him I strive to be a better man. Good wins in the end.
I found it very interesting listening to the daily mass readings. King was in the Gospel a lot. The "no king" protests immediately came to mind ironically. What comes to mind is the ominous looking backdrop and ugly speech that President Biden made at Independence Hall. What else comes to mind is the costumed demons jumping out from doorways and from behind pillars at the Biden Whitehouse Christmas show. After laughing out loud at the jogging with mom funny then the black-swan. Along with everything else going on, life is getting very interesting.
I am ALWAYS TAKING A LOOK AT THIS WORLD THROUGH A BIBLICAL LENS.. and I don't like what I see.. as always.. I pray: LORD LET THY WILL BE MY WILL.. so I have learned patience..
Jesus is Lord and God is Good. I DO LOOK FORWARD TO MY CHOCOLATE BUNNY on Sunday
HE IS RISEN :) !!!!!!!!!!! RIGHT I LOVE THAT The Meaning of Tetelestai - "It is Finished"... I heard a sermon on that last week.. so well expressed.. I think I posted it on Substack. I always seem to go into a sort of shock when I go to funeral.. but I know I posted it..
"christianity today". HE IS RISEN
"Later, knowing that everything had now been finished, and so that Scripture would be fulfilled, Jesus said, “I am thirsty.” A jar of wine vinegar was there, so they soaked a sponge in it, put the sponge on a stalk of the hyssop plant, and lifted it to Jesus’ lips. When he had received the drink, Jesus said, “It is finished.” With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit. (John 19:28-30)
Meaning of “It is finished” as Tetelestai"
"It is finished" is the English translation of the Greek word Tetelestai, which was the last thing Jesus' said before dying on the cross. Tetelestai comes from the verb teleo, which means "to bring to an end, to complete, to accomplish." It's a crucial word because it signifies the successful end to a particular course of action.... " and further that the course of action.. well I will quote again "That's significant because the perfect tense speaks of an action which has been completed in the past with results continuing into the present"... which is why Jesus' last words on the Cross are so important.. leading to the present.. because HE IS RISEN.
I can't say it better than that.. :) HAVE A BLESSED GOOD FRIDAY. :) James.
James, Just think about the real happening of Lazarus and Jesus really, truly rising from the dead. These were not just dramatic fantasies. So many more incredible feats that Jesus did have been relegated to the same realm. He studied to reawaken his latent knowledge in Egypt, Greece and other places during the "missing years". His knowledge and wisdom was hard earned, as it is for us all.
Although I do not share your's or any religious affiliation, I recognize the wisdom and compassion that touches my heart whenever you speak. Our government has demonstrated their complete lack of concern for the Life, Liberty and Pursuit of Happiness, we and all those knocking at our door signed up for. When the barrel of apples goes rotten it can't be fixed you must pick new apples from the tree. The system is designed to prevent picking anyone unapproved so the pain must get worse before the spell can be broken if history is to be a guide. Striving to be better is what the United States has always been about, not claiming perfection just working in a direction of becoming better. The same is true individually striving to be better is the best we can do knowing we will fail, yet not giving up. We must not give up or evil wins.
I'm beginning to think, once elected, they take the new Congressperson aside and explain how it is in Congress, and then they are afraid to make a move in any direction for fear of reprisal. Mb "they" threaten to kill them or their families, or God only knows what all. But something is going on where this craziness persists beyond all logic and good sense.
I read somewhere along the way that Congress is controlled by the Elites anyway and there's no sense in trying to talk to them for that reason. They are afraid of being killed.
Death threats are certainly a possibility. I think more often it comes down to the logic of: "If I don't play ball a little with 'my team', I won't be here to do good." And that's a slippery slope. And perhaps a reason why the founders feared political parties.
Who could ever think the founders, or the writers of the 14th amendment would have agreed with the notion of birth tourist coming to America, having children, getting citizenship for their child and then going back home. 36,000 births a year is the last stat taken. Later, when the child comes back the parents are able to get a type of green card status as the child’s guardian. So if we are to believe the Supreme Court is going to rule on the founders intent of the law, birth right citizenship should be voted out! But we know this isn’t going to happen, because the Supreme Court has become influenced by politics and their public perception. Certainly not what is right or good for America.
I have a buddy who grew up in Arlington long ago son of federal employees. Once.we had an opportunity to discuss his child and young adulthood in detail.t My takeaway was it’s a great big club and you aren’t part of it, nor is my friend anymore!
For more on this topic, I recommend the book, "The Invisible Coup" - How American Elites & Foreign Powers Use Immigration as a Weapon, by Peter Schweizer. I am reading it now & it is very revealing. It is also likely to make your blood boil, when you learn what is going on under our very noses.
Do not think there was any question by SCOTUS what Congress intended by passage of the 14tn, this was pure legislation by the court. One can only guess why
Agree James, the judges appointed to the Supreme Court appear to be chosen by their politics first.
My Chinese neighbor behind my home, has had 4-5 kids in the 6.5 years I've been in the home. All of them are gone by the age of 2. I don't know where they go, but she is constantly having babies. I think it is one of those Chinese surrogate scams, in plain view.
They are REQUIRED by the Chinese government to send their children back to China for indoctrination (oops, I mean...education). I don't know how many of the children are returned to their parents but I suppose some must be returned to be USA-born spies.
Embracing precedence over original intent is destroying our SCOTUS, because previous rulings have been proven to be founded on false concepts, that do not fit the original founders ideas nor logic itself.
We've clearly arrived at an environment in which high level constitutional abuses are overlooked at the same time constitutional rights are vigorously asserted by those who undermine.
I am confident that the Supreme Court will look at all sides of the issue, especially including original intent. Original intent is the bedrock of our constitution. Conservative judges understand that keeping the law is fundamental to ensuring everyone's rights.
Liberal judges like for the law to say something else which was never intended. If they were ethical, they would go to Congress and ask Congress to change the law. I am confident the Supreme Court will do the right thing!!
Especially when the deer decimate 99% of what you plant. Less than 10-years ago, we planted an entire row of Thuja Green Giant trees (about 30 trees), which the landscaper told us the deer do not like. The deer have eaten the bottom third of every tree. Worse is that the trees are up-lit, so that when the lights come on at night, all you see are the completely denuded bottoms of the trees. We spend a bloody fortune on those trees - and don't even ask about the planters in the front yard. I don't even bother planting them anymore.
There are apparently some successful deer off sprays so evil tasting they work. However, prices likely are limiting. Particularly with needs to respray after rains.
Around here it's the bunnies... Cute little guys, but planting flowers is a waste of time and money because they'll be chewed to the ground. (Weeds are a different story... The useless little boogers don't like weeds.) And then, horses... A few years ago I had several poplars destroyed because the neighbor's horses got loose, came into my yard one night, and literally girdled the trees. Shredded the bark right off them, right down to the cambium... And they left teeth marks on the cambium. I never knew horses would eat bark! Leaves and small branches, yes, but bark??? Killed the trees. I had to have them taken out. It's frustrating, but I keep trying. I just bought some Russian Sage, because the bunnies seem to leave it alone. Fingers crossed.
AND FURTHERMORE...! So, we had an unusually warm March, which caused my locusts to leaf out put out flower buds. Woulda been spectacular if Mother Nature hadn't decided it was time for our annual late freeze. 20°F last night, and I don't even wanna look! Grump... (Sorry, guess I haven't had enough coffee yet...)
The hyena videos are teachings for me. Yes, I would have said the 1st one was AI. The 2nd one was just perfect for contemplation, perfect for this Good Friday. All creatures great and small...“But ask the animals, and they will teach you, or the birds in the sky, and they will tell you; or speak to the earth, and it will teach you, or let the fish in the sea inform you.” (Job 12:7-8)
Eddie was so great, I laughed so hard... i've already forgotten the rest. I have no words to say but I so wish Mac could have lived long enough to see this man telling jokes and Eddie's laughter responses. Then sweet part almost made me cry The man is Mac and I am Eddie. (yes even the "she became huge didn't she?") Im busy this morning, but hope you all have the Good Friday you want to have. I hope to come back a little later and read all the comments..PS..I edited this three times. I couldn't see... happy tears) I feel like saying "thanks for the memories"
I probably should have mentioned - Mac loved animals. Ages ago his son would compare him to Marlin Perkins (Mutual of omaha's Wild Kingdom.), but he was funny, clever, anthropomorphized everything. I was his best audience, laughed all the time.
The fence jumping cow was an excellent portrayal of birthright citizenship. This example should be used in the courts. The founders never thought that foreign entities would have the ability to cross borders so easily to invade.
& Keith Raffel, a Syndicated Columnist in our local newspaper tells us today: "In 2020 there were 13 Measles cases in the USA. As of March 26,2026 the # has surged to 1,575."
Does he forget that between 2020 and 2025 we experienced HOW MANY border jumpers??? Who OF COURSE were all up to date on their vaccinations. Weren't they? Surely they practiced social isolation so as not to catch anything we citizens might carry.
Your Friday Funnies are the highlight of my week. (My week is not too exciting though). "That's all folks" was the BEST today! I can't wait to read the piece about why Robert left. Thanks for being a wonderful place to spend the morning!
I use drip lines around my yard for the trees, and when I run the water I have birds flying in for a drink... And they also bathe in it, anywhere the water stands in a shallow pool.
The small critters, bunnies, lizards, chipmunk, have learned where the water comes from. I've watched them drinking from the ends of the drippers. I love that!
On a recent daily walk, I approached two large scavenger fowl that were contesting a fresh specimen of roadkill, and advised them politely that standing in the middle of the road was a violation of city ordinance. I asked if they had authorization, and they each pulled out documents from underneath a wing. Since everything appeared to be in order, I told them to carrion.
If the context of the 14th Amendment has to do with children of slaves, which I believe it does, then its application is limited, and does not apply to illegal alienating. The reason why illegals are deported to their nation of origin, is because they come under the jurisdiction and allegiance of that nation, not America.
In the wake of Trump’s EO on Birthright Citizenship, I have seen an extraordinary rise in U.S. Passport applications by Hispanics and Asians. The issue of deportation still remains with illegal parents, who made a decision to break our laws of entry. If we do not stop this invasion now, our American culture, the values that made us America, will no longer exist. That is what’s at stake, and SCOTUS needs to get this right.
You are absolutely right! Our country is being invaded by illegal aliens, criminals, communist, Marxists from all nations in the world. It is an illegal invasion.
I cannot understand why the federal government has not sued the cities and the states that are harboring these illegals, because it is against federal law.
At the very least the federal government should cut off funding until the states begin to obey the law!
I agree. Congress can and should pass a law stating that Sanctuary State/Cities is unlawful, and making it a Federal crime to hide and harbor illegals—to include elected officials—but I don’t think the backbone is there yet.
There’s so many fires Trump and the GOP is trying to put out from the Biden years, that it will take years of conservative rule to correct it. Maybe the midterms will turn the tables in favor of the GOP, but we will see. The Dems are like the Iranian leaders, idealogues deeply entrenched in delusion, and do not care for the lives of other people.
Classic collection today! I am getting tired of having to say ‘the best yet’ line, though. However, my fav was the pic of the Republican Party birthplace—in Wisconsin of all places!
Hmmm…last time I checked, forcing employees to work without paying them is considered slavery—but the Democrats are the Party of slavery, so everything is adding up.
Punching and harming an innocent bystander (e.g. DHS Employees) because you did not get your way with someone else (GOP) is high school behavior, asinine, illogical, and down right criminal—actually, it is all the above.

Good Friday was the original No Kings protest.
Thank You Melanie and same to you and your family!
He is risen indeed!

Good afternoon James.
I know how the story ends. However I just can't understand why our citizens don't want to learn the lessons from History⁉️
When people forget history, it repeats itself. Those slow to learn will eventually figure it out. Probably, Maybe, Well, maybe not.
James, Just think about the real happening of Lazarus and Jesus really, truly rising from the dead. These were not just dramatic fantasies. So many more incredible feats that Jesus did have been relegated to the same realm. He studied to reawaken his latent knowledge in Egypt, Greece and other places during the "missing years".

"The way the corrupt and powerful sell their souls for their 30 pieces of silver, and how they crush the average person is a repeat of history."
Amen. For holy week, I encourage you to find my comment here. We should see what's happening to us in this unnatural modern world. Cheers.
Amen James.

Roberts, Barrett, Kavanaugh. With friends like this, who needs liberals?
View of the Supreme Court from Artemis II:
1/3 with brains
1/3 neutered, and, like a broken clock, right twice a day for a limited time
1/3 hopeless
I have a buddy who grew up in Arlington long ago son of federal employees. Once.we had an opportunity to discuss his child and young adulthood in detail.t My takeaway was it’s a great big club and you aren’t part of it, nor is my friend anymore!
OMG. And don’t EVEN get me started on Ketanji and her “worse than Kamala” word salad!
It was so brave of her to confess that she's not a biologist.
For more on this topic, I recommend the book, "The Invisible Coup" - How American Elites & Foreign Powers Use Immigration as a Weapon, by Peter Schweizer. I am reading it now & it is very revealing. It is also likely to make your blood boil, when you learn what is going on under our very noses.
Yes. I read that book when it first came out. Frightening!
Do not think there was any question by SCOTUS what Congress intended by passage of the 14tn, this was pure legislation by the court. One can only guess why
Didn’t the founders also warn to be careful about foreign influence?
Agree James, the judges appointed to the Supreme Court appear to be chosen by their politics first.
My Chinese neighbor behind my home, has had 4-5 kids in the 6.5 years I've been in the home. All of them are gone by the age of 2. I don't know where they go, but she is constantly having babies. I think it is one of those Chinese surrogate scams, in plain view.
Well that's troubling! Sounds very similar to: https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/2040068278148648977
Apparently has been going on for a long time, but was supercharged under Biden. Black robes need to wake up and smell the coffee.
They are REQUIRED by the Chinese government to send their children back to China for indoctrination (oops, I mean...education). I don't know how many of the children are returned to their parents but I suppose some must be returned to be USA-born spies.

ORIGINAL INTENT MATTERS!!
It would take an act of God, I pray, may it be God's divine will! to sway them to do his will. Amen and Godspeed.
Or have become a pack of laughing Hyena! Hahaha.......
But Ye who laughs last....laughs best!
You are so right about not wanting to know how much we spend on plants and pets!!
Have a blessed Easter Weekend everyone 🕊️🙏🕊️

We soon learned moving to the hill country deer resistant was mainly fiction.
There are apparently some successful deer off sprays so evil tasting they work. However, prices likely are limiting. Particularly with needs to respray after rains.
Cheaper to just put up with weeds. Which deer seem less likely to nosh on.
Around here it's the bunnies... Cute little guys, but planting flowers is a waste of time and money because they'll be chewed to the ground. (Weeds are a different story...

Faux Foliage. Critters won't eat it. People will steal it, sometimes!
Happy Easter.
I calculated it for the month and stopped there.
KILL THOSE WEEDS, LET THE BEASTS ROAM FREE. !!!!
The hyena videos are teachings for me. Yes, I would have said the 1st one was AI. The 2nd one was just perfect for contemplation, perfect for this Good Friday.

I think Robert should have just laughed hysterically when you floated the hyena idea.
Some good ones. Just be careful quoting Margaret Mead, one of the queens of the cultural demise of the nation, as well as the climate change religion!
Right!!!
My Mother was a hugh fan of MM. I was never inclined. Must have taken after my father.
Good inclination! My father was a big Bertrand Russell fan, and I survived.
Your Friday Funnies are the highlight of my week. (My week is not too exciting though). "That's all folks" was the BEST today! I can't wait to read the piece about why Robert left. Thanks for being a wonderful place to spend the morning!
Please, Dr. Malone. No hyenas on the farm! I can't believe their wild instincts wouldn't kick in .. eventually. Yikes!
Happy Good Friday. Blessings to all on this Easter weekend.
Nothing wrong keeping a scavenger around. We put out water for deer that is,enjoyed by many other critters now including a pair of buzzards
I use drip lines around my yard for the trees, and when I run the water I have birds flying in for a drink... And they also bathe in it, anywhere the water stands in a shallow pool.
The small critters, bunnies, lizards, chipmunk, have learned where the water comes from. I've watched them drinking from the ends of the drippers. I love that!
They also reportedly smell foul.
The buzzards -- Turkey Vultures -- are good. They keep the desert clean. Otherwise, we'd all be smelling decay!
On a recent daily walk, I approached two large scavenger fowl that were contesting a fresh specimen of roadkill, and advised them politely that standing in the middle of the road was a violation of city ordinance. I asked if they had authorization, and they each pulled out documents from underneath a wing. Since everything appeared to be in order, I told them to carrion.
OMG, that one almost hurts. But it is my first laugh-out-loud moment of the day. (Groan...)
My husband showed me that hyena and I thought it was AI, too!
It would be a blast to have that hyena for about 1 day. Thank you for the laughs! Happy Easter to all and all families!
If the context of the 14th Amendment has to do with children of slaves, which I believe it does, then its application is limited, and does not apply to illegal alienating. The reason why illegals are deported to their nation of origin, is because they come under the jurisdiction and allegiance of that nation, not America.
In the wake of Trump’s EO on Birthright Citizenship, I have seen an extraordinary rise in U.S. Passport applications by Hispanics and Asians. The issue of deportation still remains with illegal parents, who made a decision to break our laws of entry. If we do not stop this invasion now, our American culture, the values that made us America, will no longer exist. That is what’s at stake, and SCOTUS needs to get this right.
ComeQuicklyLord:
You are absolutely right! Our country is being invaded by illegal aliens, criminals, communist, Marxists from all nations in the world. It is an illegal invasion.
I cannot understand why the federal government has not sued the cities and the states that are harboring these illegals, because it is against federal law.
At the very least the federal government should cut off funding until the states begin to obey the law!
I agree. Congress can and should pass a law stating that Sanctuary State/Cities is unlawful, and making it a Federal crime to hide and harbor illegals—to include elected officials—but I don’t think the backbone is there yet.
There’s so many fires Trump and the GOP is trying to put out from the Biden years, that it will take years of conservative rule to correct it. Maybe the midterms will turn the tables in favor of the GOP, but we will see. The Dems are like the Iranian leaders, idealogues deeply entrenched in delusion, and do not care for the lives of other people.
I only wish I could find something good about Robert leaving ACIP. Probably good for his mental health
I see it as a strong statement about the whole situation that allowed the judge to make a ruling like he did.
Classic collection today! I am getting tired of having to say ‘the best yet’ line, though. However, my fav was the pic of the Republican Party birthplace—in Wisconsin of all places!
Even more so because it also birthed the progressive party
I believe the John Birch Society is headquartered in Appleton Wisconsin----so that state must be a real battleground of ideologies.
Always loved Wisconsin. A great vacation place with Lake Geneva and Eagle River. Only later learned UWis, Mom's Alma Mater was a hotbed for socialism.
Hmmm…last time I checked, forcing employees to work without paying them is considered slavery—but the Democrats are the Party of slavery, so everything is adding up.
Punching and harming an innocent bystander (e.g. DHS Employees) because you did not get your way with someone else (GOP) is high school behavior, asinine, illogical, and down right criminal—actually, it is all the above.
🙄
