The JP Funny spoke to the essence of the issue = they want everyone to celebrate a specific sexual technique. Oh great...

JP is right- this is something the Pride celebrating community want everyone to know how “they expect” the rest of the public to be acceptance of their holiday. I choose to celebrate our Veterans instead.

That is very true...punctuated by the fact most gays are bi-sexual. In my experience anyway. So they chose their favorite sexual technique and now demand we celebrate that choice.

Sometimes even when we’re at our lowest, in the valley, when things seem the worst, realize it can be a lesson, with growth, a valley of blessing.

Going through this double hernia operation, and being in terrible pain, you would think this is a valley, but I know there will be healing. I know this valley will lead me to the blessing of being healthy.

David said in psalm 23 the Lord is my shepherd he leads me by the still waters he leads me to the green pastures. We like that part of the passage but a little later it says, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, he was saying the same God that leads you to green pastures and still waters sometimes will lead you to the valley. You may not understand it but if it was not going to work, God would have never allowed it.

When you face tough times you have to remind yourself God would not be leading you to that valley if there was only loss, defeat, heart ache. No, there’s a purpose for the valley, not to hinder you but to help you. Not to hold you back, but to push you forward. Not to weaken you but to make you stronger. Now the key is your attitude in the valley. If we are negative bitter discouraged we can go through the valley and never see the blessings. Proverbs say the steps of a good person are ordered by the Lord. When you encounter a valley sometimes it’s not because you’ve done something wrong, it could be you’ve done something right. God is ready to promote you but the way he’s going to do it is to take you through the valley.

If we look over the past 10 years we watched doors open in 2016, and doors close in 2020. We went through a valley for nearly 5 years. Know we would never be where we are today without Covid, Joe Biden, Merrick Garland, Alejandro Mayorkas, Dr. Fauci, etc. Was it easy, pleasant or nice? NO. But this valley created the present doors to open in November of 2024. We have been through the valley, and with prayer, faith, open eyes and persistence we have come out stronger.

In the valleys we always gain something. We gain experience we gain endurance. Our character is being developed. With every victory comes a new level of confidence. A challenge you face today may not make sense but in the future what you learn in the valley today will help you in the future.

When David was just a teenager he went out to face Goliath in the Valley of Elah. It wasn’t a coincidence that he was in the valley. Goliath was much bigger, stronger, had more experience, it looked impossible, like David didn’t have a chance, but again we see God turns a valley of defeat into a valley of blessing. David took out his sling shot and a stone slung it hitting Goliath in the forehead knocking Goliath out. He didn’t have a sword so he took Goliaths sword from his sheath and cut Goliath’s head off. David came out of that valley not only with more experience, more confidence and respect, but he came out with the sword of Goliath. This battle in the valley of Elah was the beginning of David’s military and political activity, eventually leading him to the thrown. The Valley of Elah for David was a Valley of Blessing. Years later it was this very valley the Israelites led by David would defeat the Philistines and take this fertile valley.

It may not be tomorrow or even in 6 months, sometimes it can be years later, the lessons learned in our valleys turn to blessings in our life. Life’s valleys are a part of our spiritual journey of faith, where challenges become opportunities for growth and blessing. Happy Sunday! J.Goodrich

God prepared David to fight Goliath while he was a shepherd protecting the flock with his sling shot. David was offered King Saul’s armor but it did not fit, so David faced Goliath with the experience and tool needed to slay him, and he did it because Goliath was blaspheming God.

I pray that God will bring you out of this time of pain, and restore your body back to health. In the meantime, keep posting—they are sling shots in your hands.

President Trump has sent the National Guard to LA. I think the democrats typical violent protest scheme, you know, luting, burning and murdering people, may have a slightly different outcome this time. Oh ya there are 200,000 marines available to disperse into these paid democrat burnings of cities also.

I hope we have a different outcome. I watched five minutes of live-stream from L.A. and two things stood out to me. One, only Mexican flags--hmmm. If they love Mexico so much, why are they here? And, two, all the bystanders taking videos with their phones. I bet if the area was cordoned off and there was no media or video coverage, it would all go away very quickly.

The problem with that mentality is that the NGOs COUNT on law enforcement overreacting: this just gives them more emotionalist/propagandist fuel to motivate their pawns to "protest" more. But I think they are counting on it working even better than before when L.E.O.s occasionally pushed back too hard (in that case, it was hard to spin that to make President Trump look bad, since they were just local cops). Now, with National Guard troops expressly send by him, any over-doing it by a National Guardsman will not only have the power-multiplying effect for the media circus that Kent State did in the 60's, but the Shame Scream Media will be able to pin it all on Trump and double down on their false prophecy of a Hitler 2.0 scenario.

Assuming Hitler was the worst of the four MONSTERS of ww2? 1933: On January 30, Adolf Hitler becomes Chancellor of Germany. He drives Jews, many of which were Communist out of Governmental positions within Germany. As a result of this, in July, the Jews hold a World Conference in Amsterdam during which they demand that Hitler re-instate every Jew back to his former position. Hitler refuses and as a result of this, Samuel Untermyer, the Ashkenazi Jew who blackmailed President Wilson,and is now the head of the American delegation and the president of the whole conference, returns to the United States, and makes a speech on radio which was transcribed in the From the New York Times, Monday, August 7, 1933. In the speech he made the following statements, "...the Jews are the aristocrats of the world...Our campaign is...the economic boycott against all German goods, shipping and services...What we are proposing...is to prosecute a purely defensive economic boycott that will undermine the Hitler regime and bring the German people to their senses by destroying their export trade on which their very existence depends... ...Each of you, Jew and Gentile alike...must refuse to deal with any merchant or shopkeeper who sells any German-made goods or who patronizes German ships or shipping." As two thirds of Germany's food supply had to be imported, and could only be imported with the proceeds of what they exported, if Germany could not export, two thirds of Germany's population would starve, as there would be not enough food for more than one third of the population. As a result of this boycott, Jews throughout America, would protest outside and damage any stores in which they found any products with, "Made in Germany," printed on them, causing stores to have to dump these products or risk bankruptcy. Once the effects of this boycott began to be felt in Germany, the Germans, who had demonstrated no violence towards the Jews up to this point, simply began boycotting Jewish stores in the same way the Jews had done to stores selling German products in America."

They don't call compounding interest one of the most powerful forces in the world for nothing.

Kudos to you for recognizing the problem. So many people never do figure it out.

One of my favorite sayings over the years and something I've tried very hard to get my kids to understand has been: There's a reason why bankers drive Cadillacs and the rest of us drive Chevys. Bankers collect interest and the rest of us pay (and pay and pay) it. I am utterly dumbfounded by the amount of folks that get to the age where they are wanting to retire and expect to be able to do that while they are still making payments on their houses and cars.

Wondering what it will take for the vast majority of Americans (and Brits and Germans and Canadians) to stand up to a small minority of paid agitators intent on destroying their peaceful society, paid by so-called NGOs who should be best described as terrorist organizations.

Mr. Gilbert----the thing that chaps me the most about these NGOs that are paying people to agitate and look on cue is that if you dig deep enough you will find that most are funded by the taxpayers.

Undoubtedly, which is why I refer to those organizations like Soros' Open Society Foundation as "terrorist organizations". They should be cut off from taxpayers. Make no mistake, Soros does not care about America or western society at all. As he writes in his book, he creates chaos which is countered by authoritarian measures which he then exploits to gain power and money. He is basically a greedy, selfish prick.

Here's an idea!! 💡💡💡What if We the People start a Go Fund Me and all the contributions can go to purchase Billboard space all over the US for silent protests of the gross mishandling of our taxpayer dollars for things like Congressional pork, NGOs, bribes, mishandling, etc. You know, all those things we don't vote for, but seem to get anyway. If we can get permission, some of the memes the good Drs' Malone reprint here might make the points. We would state in BOLD "Funded by Taxpayers of America"!!! We can start in the worst states and work our way out. So as not to get defaced, they would stay up temporarily. Only a few states at a time, and random - surprise tactics.
