CITIZEN OPEN THREAD — THURSDAY

Boss, you’ve beat Breitbart!

Noticeably cooler today.
Went to bed and woke up to HEAVY rain.
It wasnt the rain that woke me, it was that sound every Okie knows when they are born.
Tornado!
That awful grumble that you feel in your bones.
Then the sirens went off.
Do we take cover or ride it out?
Radar showed it right over Fairland, Ok, not good.
Were 20 min from Fairland!
The grumble faded.
No EMS sirens, rain let up.
I rolled back over and slept like a log.
Hope everyone is ok in Oklahoma?

Although I am sad about not being able to see our homegrown memes, I am happy about the 17 MILLION page views!
Nothing satisfies like a job well done.
Good hustle K!

Goooood morning from the Smokies beloved and faithful Patriots!!!😊🐶☕️☕️☕️

* Fight 2 – VOTE! Chase ballots – tell friends and family.
* Fight 3 – Get involved. Donate as much as you can to Trump team (I’m donating a 2nd time with hundreds of more $). Go out and flag wave at near voting areas (my wife and I did this yesterday). Get involved with Swamp the Vote (https://swampthevoteusa.com/).

On October 31st
Goblins & witches 🧙‍♀️

Pumpkins into faces turn 🎃
Little candles 🕯 in them burn
Big mean kids dressed up like ghosts 👻
Put those lanterns on gate posts
Ring doorbells & slip away
What was that?
The people say! 😬

The telephone rang. It was a call from his mother. He answered it and his mother told him, “Mr. Belser died last night. The funeral is Wednesday.”
Memories flashed through his mind like an old newsreel as he sat quietly remembering his childhood days.”
Jack, did you hear me?”
“Oh, sorry, Mom. Yes, I heard you. It’s been so long since I thought of him. I’m sorry, but I honestly thought he died years ago,” Jack said.
“Well, he didn’t forget you. Every time I saw him he’d ask how you were doing. He’d reminisce about the many days you spent over ‘his side of the fence’ as he put it,” Mom told him.
“I loved that old house he lived in,” Jack said.
“You know, Jack, after your father died, Mr. Belser stepped in to make sure you had a man’s influence in your life,” she said. “He’s the one who taught me carpentry,” he said. “I wouldn’t be in this business if it weren’t for him. He spent a lot of time teaching me things he thought were important. Mom, I’ll be there for the funeral,” Jack said
.As busy as he was, he kept his word. Jack caught the next flight to his hometown. Mr. Belser’s funeral was small and uneventful. He had no children of his own, and most of his relatives had passed away.
The night before he had to return home, Jack and his Mom stopped by to see the old house next door one more time. Standing in the doorway, Jack paused for a moment. It was like crossing over into another dimension, a leap through space and time. The house was exactly as he remembered.
Every step held memories. Every picture, every piece of furniture…
Jack stopped suddenly…”What’s wrong, Jack?” his Mom asked.
“The box is gone,” he said.
“What box?” Mom asked.
“There was a small gold box that he kept locked on top of his desk. I must have asked him a thousand times what was inside. All he’d ever tell me was ‘the thing I value most,'” Jack said.It was gone.
Everything about the house was exactly how Jack remembered it, except for the box. He figured someone from the Belser family had taken it. “Now I’ll never know what was so valuable to him,” Jack said.
“I better get some sleep. I have an early flight home, Mom.
“It had been about two weeks since Mr. Belser died. Returning home from work one day Jack discovered a note in his mailbox. “Signature required on a package. No one at home. Please stop by the main post office within the next three days,” the note read.
Early the next day Jack went to the post office and retrieved the package. The small box was old and looked like it had been mailed a hundred years ago. The handwriting was difficult to read, but the return address caught his attention.”Mr. Harold Belser” it read.
Jack took the box out to his car and ripped open the package. There inside was the gold box and an envelope.Jack’s hands shook as he read the note inside.”Upon my death, please forward this box and its contents to Jack Bennett. It’s the thing I valued most in my life.”
A small key was taped to the letter. His heart racing, as tears filled his eyes, Jack carefully unlocked the box. There inside he found a beautiful gold pocket watch. Running his fingers slowly over the finely etched casing, he unlatched the cover.
Inside he found these words engraved: “Jack, Thanks for your time! — Harold Belser.”

“The thing he valued most was my time!” Jack held the watch for a few minutes, then called his office and cleared his appointments for the next two days.
*”Why?” Janet, his assistant asked.
“I need some time to spend with the people I love and say I care for,” he said.
“Oh, by the way, Janet, thanks for your time!”

Good early morning CFP ( 3 am Mountain Time. Must be election jitters). So, just imagine a big steaming cup of coffee. lol!
17.3 million page views! Congratulations Bossy. Remember back when , when we would be telling everyone we knew to read CFP? When we would keep opening to the site to give it more views ?
Seems like ages ago. People now know where to go for the honest news, and currently all the election information. ( insert big smile here)
Hope everyone has a fun Halloween!

Thanks Dee.

To go from 300 visits per day in the first month, to 17.3 million per day now is not something I can comprehend.

It’s possible CFP will have a day next week over 20 million pageviews.

It will be very close to that number.

VICTORY in AMERICA.

“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largess of the public treasury. From that time on the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury, with the results that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship.”
— Sir Alex Fraser Tytler
(1742-1813) Lord Woodhouselee, Scottish jurist, professor and historian

Luke 12:32-40 (Gospel, St. John Kochurov)
32
Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
33
Sell what you have and give alms; provide yourselves money bags which do not grow old, a treasure in the heavens that does not fail, where no thief approaches nor moth destroys.
34
For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
35
Let your waist be girded and your lamps burning;
36
and you yourselves be like men who wait for their master, when he will return from the wedding, that when he comes and knocks they may open to him immediately.
37
Blessed are those servants whom the master, when he comes, will find watching. Assuredly, I say to you that he will gird himself and have them sit down to eat, and will come and serve them.
38
And if he should come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.
39
But know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into.
40
Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.”

What does inspiration mean when applied to the Bible?

II Timothy 3:16, TLB.
“The whole Bible was given to us by inspiration from God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives; it straightens us out and helps us do what is right.”

Inspiration means that God is the ultimate source of the Bible.

II Peter 1:20-21, NIV.
“Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet’s own interpretation. For prophecy never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.”

Good and blessed morning lovers of God, family, friends, and country!!! 💖

Is there any chance you could also turn off the demon party? Just asking…
