1-7-23, The Apostle Paul explains that our conversation — rather, "our state" or "country;" our citizenship is in Heaven because we are now but pilgrims on earth. (Philippians 3:19; Hebrews 11:9-10, 13-16). We wait for (Romans 8:19) the Lord Jesus (Hebrews 9:28). He is "the Lord," now exalted above every name (Philippians 2:9-11). Our High Priest is gone up into the Holy of Holies not made with hands and as He's atoned for all sinners given the choice to be repented believers - it is our eternal abode; so we look unto the heavens expecting Christ to return. Acts 1:11

1-7-23, Update: McCarthy Won
See list of Concessions he made
- Any member can call for a motion to vacate the speaker’s chair
- A McCarthy-aligned super-PAC (the Congressional Leadership Fund) agreed to not spend in open Republican primaries in safe seats
- The House will hold votes on key conservative bills, including a balanced budget amendment, congressional term limits, and border security
- Efforts to raise the nation’s debt ceiling must be paired with spending cuts
- Move 12 appropriations bills individually, instead of passing separate bills to fund government operations
- More Freedom Caucus representation on committees, including the influential House Rules Committee
- Cap discretionary spending at fiscal year 2022 levels, which would amount to lower levels for defense and domestic programs
- 72 hours to review bills before they come to floor
- Give members the ability to offer more amendments on the House floor
- Create an investigative committee to probe the “weaponization” of the federal government
- Restore the Holman rule, which can be used to reduce the salary of government officials

Sorry that during his speech at Speaker swearing in he did not mention the Lord once that I heard; but happy to see he did in 2014:
McCarthy Confident He'll Have The Votes Friday Night: "Now We Learned How To Govern" -- Real Clear Politics
1-6-23, Annette - CA congressman Kevin McCarthy today said: “Now we’ve learned how to govern.” … WHAT!! He’s been a Congressman for 16 years … "now" he’s learned? Makes me sick. I just learned that McCarthy doesn't need 218 votes to win. IF a lower number of members show up to vote ... its a majority of whoever is there. Today two didn't appear and he got 214 ... that may be enough tonight 1-6-23, Friday at 10 pm ET depending how many attend and vote. The fix is in. | NY Post 2015 report … Kevin McCarthy is Compromised ... The twenty holdout patriot Congressman want agreements and concessions in writing because any private deal is worthless with McCarthy. Bills for the border, term limits, the budget, investigating the Biden crime family, Hunter's laptop, Afghanistan debacle, etc. is what the Republican “Establishment” doesn’t need with a base that was already angry enough to toss out a lot of them last year and would have if only we had honest elections.

1-6-23, The Lord Jesus proclaimed that for those who received much ... much will be required. All are to take to themselves what Christ says in His word and inquire concerning it. No one is left so ignorant as not to know many things to be wrong which he does and many things to be right which he neglects. | Therefore, all are without excuse in their sin. Christ's religion is pure, peaceable and loving; but the effect of its being contrary to men's pride and lusts is without any doubt.

12-29-22, ALJAZEERA, Israel News from Islamic Viewpoint -- The return of Benjamin Netanyahu as Israel's Prime Minister marks a the arrival of a government that has sparked fears among Palestinians [Muslims-Ed]. Netanyahu, along with his right wing coalition partners, has a majority in the Knesset. He was heckled during his speech to the Knesset, with opponents chanting that he was “weak”. He said an end to the “Arab-Israeli conflict” would be his top priority, as well as stopping Iran’s nuclear program and building up Israel’s military capacity. | Israel News - from Israel Viewpoint 1-3-23, HAARETZ Israel News -- In Judea & Samaria [aka West Bank] the army was in the village of Kafr Dan near Jenin to demolish the homes of two Palestinians who in September 2022 killed Maj. Bar Falah of the Nahal infantry brigade. The actions in Syria’s skies and in the West Bank signaled a direct continuation of the security policy of the Bennett-Lapid-Gantz government, and indeed by all the previous Netanyahu governments. There are certain differences, little more than nuances, in the approach of the outgoing and incoming governments regarding the violence with the Palestinians. More here |
They were sent two and two - there's much wisdom in sending them in this manner.

The violence and the terrorism throughout the Jewish State of Israel at the hands of the Islamic terrorists, Hamas has brought the issue of sovereignty back to the forefront. The "Dome of the Rock" was built on Israel's Temple Mount by the Islamic caliph Abd al-Malik from 688 to 691 AD. More here

Islamic Nation of Jordan Warning Israel About Crossing Jerusalem 'Red Lines'
Who Controls the Temple Mount in Jerusalem? King of Jordan [here] 12-2020, Israel365 -- Jordan’s King Abdullah inaugurated the 19th Parliament’s non-ordinary session and delivered remarks emphasizing his commitment to the Hashemite Custodianship of Islamic and Christian holy sites in Jerusalem, He said: “The Hashemite Custodianship of Jerusalem’s Islamic and Christian holy sites is a duty, a commitment, a firm belief, and a responsibility we have proudly undertaken for more than a hundred years. ... this custodianship was inextricably linked to the creation of a Palestinian state inside the borders of Israel with its capital in Jerusalem." | Yitzchak Reiter, a political scientist who is a full professor of Islamic, Middle East and Israel Studies explains: “From July 1967, the Israeli government decided that the management of the site will be overseen by the Waqf, the Muslim endowment that oversees holy sites in Jerusalem. There are many ways to look at the question of who rules the Temple Mount depending on who you ask and who they are talking to at the moment.” Apparently in 1994 an agreement between Israel and Jordan to reestablished Jordan's status as the custodian of Temple Mount while affirming Israel's sovereignty over Judaism's holiest site. However, the Waqf [a Jordanian-appointed council], oversees Muslim holy sites in Jerusalem. | King of Jordan Warns Israel against crossing Jerusalem 'red lines' 12-29-22, IsraelHayom.com --The Islamic nation of Jordan views itself as a custodian of Jerusalem's Temple Mount. Is there a potential clash with hardline lawmakers from incoming prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s coalition? Otzmah Yehudit chief Itamar Ben Gvir has pushed for Israel to assert its sovereignty over the Jerusalem's holy sites and allow Jewish worship there. However, King Abdullah of the Jewish state of Israel's neighboring said: "If people want to get into a conflict with us, we're quite prepared. I always like to believe that let's look at the glass half full, but we have certain red lines… And if people want to push those red lines, then we will deal with that." More here |
As of 1/5/23 Kevin McCarthy has come in second in the race to be Speaker ELEVEN times - yet he's already moved into the office of the Speaker ... Isn't that trespassing?
1-5-23, Annette -- I don't trust what California Kevin McCarthy now says. And apparently neither do the twenty congressmen who are voting to block him from becoming Speaker of the USA House of Representatives. He's been a politician for a long time. These 20 patriots know more than we know and ole Kevin from California has been ensconced in the 'people's house' since 2007; and been in California government since 2002. He tried and failed to be speaker in 2015. | He supports gay marriage, is weak on immigration and wanted President Trump to resign. I don't want Hakeem Jeffries, Democrat 'Baptist' from New York to run the 'House.' However, at this point I don't see much difference in the RINO Republican and the Leftist Democrats. I, for one, am happy that the government is doing no work and we have no representatives. What good are they? |
Jesus told the cleansed man to return home and proclaim to all what great things God had done for him. And he did!
Barnes Commentary, https://biblehub.com/commentaries/barnes/mark/5.htm
In 1923 [100 years ago] last time Speaker of House not chosen quickly - and in 1850 it took two months!
It didn't go according to plan, at least for GOP leader Kevin McCarthy who became the first majority nominee for speaker in 100 years to fail to win an initial vote for the gavel after not getting 218 votes. He also lost the sixth round of voting with no exit (or winning) strategy in sight. Needing 218 votes in the full House. McCarthy had pledged a “battle on the floor” for as long as it took to overcome right-flank fellow Republicans who were refusing to give him their votes. The House adjourned without a leader. More here, DailyMail The Twenty Republican Patriots Against McCarthy [here] Following is the list of lawmakers who are preventing the election of Kevin McCarthy of California to be Speaker of the House of Representatives: => |
| The last speaker election to go beyond the first ballot was in 1923, when members took nine tries to name Frederick Gillett (R-Mass.) to the position. The all-time record for duration of a speaker vote was in the mid-1850s — when lawmakers took almost two months and 133 ballots before picking Nathaniel Banks, also of Massachusetts. The House can change the election rules allowing a simple majority of votes to become the speaker, but this could backfire for the Republicans since Jeffries, in theory, could win a majority vote. On Wednesday, 1-4-23, the House voted 216-214 to adjourn just before 8:30 p.m., setting up a seventh speaker vote for Thursday, 1-5-23. |
1-4-23, FoxNews -- Boebert of Colorado and two other Congressmen presented some simple requests to Kevin McCarthy that if he HAD agreed - IT would've given him the win in the first ballot. The twenty conservative Congressmen asked for bills for: border security, term limits and reducing the federal debt. The California RINO rejected it; so tomorrow, Thursday, 1-5-23 the House goes for seventh ballot. Lauren Boebert disputed claims by other Republicans that their opposition was petty. She said: “I don’t think a secure border is petty. I don’t think a term limits bill being brought to the floor, we're not demanding them to pass, but brought to the floor so we actually have an option to vote on that is petty.
“We asked for the Republican Study Committee’s budget be put forward. This is a budget that balances in seven years, and Kevin McCarthy told us no.”
At the moment, the twenty patriots have the upper hand and McCarthy is panicking. Just hold the line and Uniparty ** [RINOs] will suffer a humiliating defeat.

Tucker: Biden administration is close to giving WHO power over every intimate aspect of your life
5-19-22, Fox News, TuckerCarlson -- In 2021 when ole Joe Biden, in one of his very first acts as president, brought the USA back into the World Health Organization [WHO] [in 2020 President Trump Removed America (here)] We assumed it was just part of his larger 'de-orangification' efforts [reversing all President Trump's acts]. Childish, but that seemed like a fair explanation. Still, seemed weird because there aren't many international bodies that are more thoroughly discredited than the WHO, particularly after COVID. It's a laughingstock. [..] WHO will ensure "equitable and effective access to vaccines, therapeutics, diagnostics and essential supplies and for clinical trials" and that means, again quoting, "health care workers and the most vulnerable will have priority access." Not the sickest, not the people who need the medicine most, but the most vulnerable in a larger sense. In other words, favored groups get medicine first. [..] | The Biden administration's amendments, along with those from several other countries, will be combined to create a new global pandemic treaty. "We need a pandemic treaty." That treaty is set to be adopted in Geneva at the World Health Assembly. [..] Here's the catch. The WHO gets to define what a pandemic is, when a pandemic is in progress and how long a pandemic lasts. Then you read the fine print: "... the WHO will have total authority over emergency operations in the USA if there's ever a "public health emergency." Huh? [..] Every physician, practicing in the US promises not to do what you just heard, and it would become mandatory under this treaty. This is lunacy.

Republican in Name Only [Rino] Congressman Kevin McCarthy said he "does not favor legislation that provides a pathway to citizenship." But will he vote for it?? Trick! It is clear to many members of the general public that if Congress changes our laws to accommodate millions of illegal migrants by removing the current penalties of law (such as deportation). The "legalize illegals without citizenship" ruse is a way for Republicans like Kevin McCarthy to achieve amnesty by setting up bad legislation ... | According to a report by Breitbart's Mathew Boyle in 2014 Kevin McCarthy, John Boehner and Steve Scalise tricked 219 Republican lawmakers into voting in support of Obama's amnesty actions. Apparently Kevin McCarthy helped switch the text of a bill at the last minute without informing lawmakers on H.R. 5759, first put forward by Rep. Ted Yoho (R-FL), but subsequently dramatically altered by leadership officials in the Rules Committee process. More here from ALIPAC |
Democrat from New York is leading in the third vote of the new 118th US Congress; his name is Hakeem Jeffries and Wikipedia says he's a Baptist in religion. Yes and this is with Republicans having the majority. At close of business and the third failed vote to win a majority ... Hakeem was in the lead as Jim Jordan has taken twenty votes although he nominated Kevin McCarthy. | See 5 minute video here: www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=v2xR5T9kSEo&feature=emb_rel_pause Note: I don't agree with what Congressman Jordan said about McCarthy and now doubt "him." However, he did make some valid and pertinent criticisms about the current destructive USA leadership. -- Annette |

Judge: People Charged in January 6 Capitol Riot Being Treated ‘Tougher’ than Others
1-2-23, Canada Free Press -- Almost two years after the January 6, 2021 [J6] Washington D.C. protests that Democrats and the mainstream news media call an “insurrection,” the Department of Justice (DOJ) is still asking for the public’s help in identifying more people to arrest. The harsh treatment of the J6 prisoners is in sharp contrast to the rioters who burned and looted in the aftermath of the death of George Floyd.. and other riots and mayhem. | The conditions in these prisons are so horrific that 34 January 6th (J6) prisoners asked for a transfer to the military terrorist prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba (Gitmo). In their letter pleading for a transfer, the J6 prisoners said that Gitmo would provide what they are lacking in their D.C. prison, namely “nutritional meals, sunlight exposure, top notch medical care,” and respect for “religious requirements.” | Of the 964 individuals charged with crimes for their participation in the protests of January 6, 2021, “hundreds” are still in Washington D.C. prisons today. === Prior to the breach of the U.S. Capitol - on Jan 6, 2021 President Trump told the massive crowd of his supporters to march “over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.” More here |
[Note: this report reveals a much softer report of the abuses to the Sixers [if any] - now we can't tell what's true. Except for the fact of course - that still being incarcerated is outrageous. - Annette]

Natalia Mehlman Petrzela,
How did U.S. exercise trends go from reinforcing white supremacy to celebrating Richard Simmons? That evolution is explored in a new book by a historian of exercise, Natalia Mehlman Petrzela, author of the book Fit Nation: The Gains and Pains of America’s Exercise Obsession, out Jan. 2023. Nowadays, according to a 2019 analysis of data on fitness tracking apps by Bloomberg, at the beginning of every New Year, many Americans hit the gym to work off their holiday feasts. This momentum usually starts to fade in mid-January. However, such new year’s resolutions are pretty new—as is the concept of exercise as a way to improve bodily health. | The author of this piece in TIME MAGAZINE SAYS: '... they’re saying [in the 1920's??] white women should start building up their strength because we need more white babies. They’re writing during an incredible amount of immigration, soon after enslaved people have been emancipated. This is totally part of a white supremacy project. So that was a real “holy crap” moment ..." [..] Today, you see quite a few fat people in the fitness industry, who now say that your body size does not necessarily dictate your fitness level. We should not presume that because you are fat, that you are not fit or that you want to lose weight. More here |
