Two headlines I saw on another web site this morning. And you’re telling me we are not on the eve of destruction?
“ACLU promises to sue if Kemp signs bill banning gender surgeries on children”
“Legislation would allow individuals in Illinois prisons to earn parole regardless of the crime”

Philippians 4:4-9

Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.

Romans 16:17-20

I appeal to you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and create obstacles contrary to the doctrine that you have been taught; avoid them.

For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites, and by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naive.

For your obedience is known to all, so that I rejoice over you, but I want you to be wise as to what is good and innocent as to what is evil.

The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

Something to consider…

PERHAPS THIS SEEMINGLY FOOLISH ENDEAVOR TO PROSECUTE TRUMP WAS NEVER MEANT TO BE THE TRUE PURPOSE OF THE STATED PRIMARY OBJECTIVE.

PERHAPS THAT STATED OBJECTIVE WAS JUST A SMOKESCREEN.

PERHAPS THE REAL REASON WAS TO MAKE TRUMP VULNERABLE.

AS LEE HARVEY OWSWALD WAS.

AND AS JEFFREY EPSTEIN WAS.

BE THAT AS IT MAY…

PRAY DAILY FOR GOD’S PROTECTION OF HIM AND INFLUENCE UPON HIM!

Ref to stack: I SHOULD BE DEAD: Minnesota J6 defendant responds to new bodycam video.”
– Did these police have orders to kill or injure badly? It is not a secret striking a person’s head with a police weapon can kill or injure for life. They were beating her up violently.
– The government that has the White House is not being run as there is a Constitution or Bill of Rights. What ideology has taken over? The ideology and the way it’s run just by hiding the videos for lawyers to make their case.
– Later in the Video she mention when the police teams comes in to arrest with force. Mentions the police have even handcuffed children in other raids of houses.
– THIS IS NOT USA ANYMORE. REPUBLICAN REPRESENTATIVES GET SERIOUSLY MOVING. RINOS AT LEAST PRETEND AND ACT LIKE YOU ARE REPUBLICANS. Because there is something that stinks as evil corruption with the government and you want to smell good. RINOS MAYBE, ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO ASSOCIATED WITH THE WAY THIS GOVERNMENT IS HEADING.

Good morning gang. I too, like Palidan, read all the inspirational posts and enjoy them immensely. I’m off to surgery today for my right ankle to repair an unsuccessful one from well over a year ago. I haven’t been able to walk without excruciating pain for close to two years. Any prayers from the gang would be deeply appreciated for a full recovery. God bless all of you. 🙂

CFP,
As I was watching the backyard bird feeder a few days ago I saw the most beautifully colored bird that I have ever seen in Florida before.

He had the most gorgeous BLUE head, with YELLOW on its back, ORANGE on his belly, and BROWN wings!

I tried describing him just like that to the wifey, but it didn’t ring any bells with her
….
Then yesterday he came again and the wife got a good look at him through the binoculars and saw that he had GREEN wings! (I have color blindness, but I can make out many colors… long story).

And after painful research SHE FOUND HIM!!!

So to all you bird experts out there, this bird id definitely in Florida!!!!

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you
The Painted Bunting

The Painted Bunting

The male painted bunting is often described as the most beautiful bird in North America and as such has been nicknamed nonpareil, or “without equal”.[6] Its colors, dark blue head, green back, red rump, and underparts, make it extremely easy to identify, but it can still be difficult to spot since it often skulks in foliage even when it is singing. The plumage of female and juvenile painted buntings is green and yellow-green, serving as camouflage. Once seen, the adult female is still distinctive, since it is a brighter, truer green than other similar songbirds. Adult painted buntings can measure 12–14 cm (4.7–5.5 in) in length, span 21–23 cm (8.3–9.1 in) across the wings and weigh 13–19 g (0.46–0.67 oz).[7][8]

The juveniles have two inserted molts in their first autumn, each yielding plumage like an adult female. The first starts a few days after fledging, replacing the juvenile plumage with an auxiliary formative plumage; and the second a month or so later giving the formative plumage.[9]

Painted bunting eggs are pale blue-white speckled or spotted with brown. Three to four eggs (or occasionally five) appear from March to July in cup-shaped nests usually built in brush or low trees, usually 3 to 6 feet from the ground but up to 12 feet.[5]

Distribution and habitat

The painted bunting occupies typical habitat for a member of its family. It is found in thickets, woodland edges with riparian thickets, shrubbery and brushy areas. In the east, the species breeds in maritime hammocks and scrub communities. Today, it is often found along roadsides and in suburban areas, and in gardens with dense, shrubby vegetation. The wintering habitat is typically the shrubby edges along the border of tropical forests or densely vegetated savanna.[10] The breeding range is divided into two geographically separate areas. These include southern Arizona, southern New Mexico, southern and eastern Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, northern Florida, coastal Georgia, the southern coast and inland waterways such as the Santee River of South Carolina and northern Mexico.[1] They winter in South Florida, Cuba, the Bahamas, along both coasts of Mexico and through much of Central America. Occasionally, they may be vagrants further north, including to New York,[11][12] Pennsylvania,[13] and New Jersey.[14] The bird is also found every few years as far north as New Brunswick, Canada.[15] Genetic analyses showed that the species can be divided into three main groups on their breeding grounds: a western, central and eastern group.[16]

Behavior

Painted buntings are shy, secretive and often difficult to observe with the human eye, though can be fairly approachable where habituated to bird feeders. Males sing in spring from exposed perches to advertise their territories. They also engage in visual displays including flying bouncingly like a butterfly or in an upright display, body-fluff display, bow display and wing-quiver display. These displays are used in agonistic conflicts with other males or in breeding displays for females, with females rarely engaging in displays. Occasionally, males may physically clash with each other and may even kill each other in such conflicts.[7] When their breeding season has concluded, buntings migrate by night over short to medium distances. Western birds (Arizona and northern Mexico) molt in mid-migration, while eastern birds tend to molt before they migrate.[10]

Feeding

Painted buntings often feed by hopping along the ground, cautiously stopping every few moments to look around. They regularly eat seeds of grasses, such as Panicum, of sedges such as Carex, and forbs such as Amaranthus, Oxalis, and Euphorbia. In winter painted bunting eat seeds almost exclusively, but while breeding, and in feeding their nestlings, they mainly seek out small invertebrates, including spiders, snails, and insects such as grasshoppers and caterpillars. Sometimes they visit spider webs opportunistically to pick off insects caught in them.[10]

Trump announcing his numbered action-plan list focusing on removal of corruption in the deep state. It’s quite comprehensive and very aggressive, as it should be.

If elected he’ll also have to preside over the financial system meltdown, including perhaps the international derivatives bubble popping, I would like to hear his take on that.

That’s the more hidden, less-talked-about elephant driving most everything else bad that’s happening. They know it’s a goner and fatal to their system, and want to maintain power at any cost, even as it collapses.

The Christian life is not always easy.

Matthew 5:11-12, TLB.
“When you are reviled and persecuted and lied about because you are My followers—wonderful! Be happy about it! Be very glad! for a tremendous reward awaits you up in heaven. And remember, the ancient prophets were persecuted too.”

II Timothy 3:12-14, TLB.
“Those who decide to please Christ Jesus by living godly lives will suffer at the hands of those who hate Him. In fact, evil men and false teachers will become worse and worse, deceiving many, they themselves having been deceived by Satan. But you must keep on believing the things you have been taught. You know they are true for you know that you can trust those of us who have taught you.”

Persecution does not last forever.

There is a promise for those persecuted by their family.

Trump asked 20 billion to build a southern wall at our borders. He was chopped into pieces by both parties but especially the Democrats and it was dropped after the election was stolen and they installed Biden.

Biden’s disaster of having open borders have cost us just how many billions per state to date?
How many illegals have entered on Biden’s stolen time?
How much fentanyl been brought into the US on his stolen time?
How many deaths?
How much crime?
How much government helping the illegals housing, medical, food, education…?
How many Billions has he stolen from tax payers to go to Ukraine? Over 112 Billion
