 USA Senate is pushing past objections Billions More to Ukraine and Billions to [Hamas] Gaza [here] 2-9-24, AP -- Senators conducted a late-night vote Friday, 2-9-24 advancing the aide package to Ukraine and other Nations as follows:
The package would go to the House of Representatives next, but Speaker Mike Johnson has not indicated if, or when, he would schedule any votes on it.   Sheriff Jones says: “It’s not if they (illegal migrants in the US) are going to attack, it’s just when they are.” |
| 2-12-24, Annette -- I've been advised to drink lotsa water using the guide to daily drink according to my weight: an ounce for each pound of body weight. Therefore, a 125 pound person would drink 125 ounces per day [almost a gallon]. However, there's also the daily drink 8 eight ounce glasses per 8 hour rule = a gallon is 128 ounces that's sixteen 8 oz glasses in 16 hours for everyone. | I doubt the validity of what I call "water hysteria" as my Mother [and I] was a healthy active woman ... no cancer or heart disease... who passed at age 90 ... she hated water ... maybe drank 8 ounces a day plus black strong caffeinated coffee and an occasional beer. I found the following research & report that may unshackle those who are sick of all the required water! [I drink about 24 ounces, + coffee and occasional soft drink, I don't like beer.] |
 Heinz Valtin With the Technical Assistance of Sheila A. Gorman Proper Water Intake for Good Health [here] 11-1-2002, * -- ... Despite the seemingly ubiquitous admonition to “drink at least eight 8-oz glasses of water a day” (with an accompanying reminder that beverages containing caffeine and alcohol do not count), rigorous proof for this counsel appears to be lacking. This review sought to find the origin of this advice (called “8 × 8” for short) and to examine the scientific evidence, if any, that might support it. The search included not only electronic modes. but also a cursory examination of the older literature that is not covered in electronic databases and, most importantly and fruitfully, extensive consultation with several nutritionists who specialize in the field of thirst and drinking fluids. | [..] No scientific studies were found in support of 8 × 8. Rather, surveys of food and fluid intake on thousands of adults of both genders, analyses of which have been published in peer-reviewed journals, strongly suggest that such large amounts of water are not needed because the surveyed persons were presumably healthy and certainly not overtly ill. This conclusion is supported by published studies showing that caffeinated drinks (and, to a lesser extent, mild alcoholic beverages like beer in moderation) may indeed be counted toward the daily total, as well as by the large body of published experiments that attest to the precision and effectiveness of the osmoregulatory system for maintaining water balance. It is to be emphasized that the conclusion is limited to healthy adults in a temperate climate leading a largely sedentary existence, precisely the population and conditions that the “at least” in 8 × 8 refers. |

Conclusion: "I have found no scientific proof that we must “drink at least eight glasses of water a day,” nor proof, it must be admitted, that drinking less does absolutely no harm. However, the published data available to date strongly suggest that, with the exception of some diseases and special circumstances, such as strenuous physical activity, long airplane flights, and climate, we probably are currently drinking enough and possibly even more than enough." -- Heinz Valtin, Emeritus Professor of Physiology Dies at age 93 at his home in Alexandria, VA, on October 11, 2019.

Are standardized "SAT" tests poised for a comeback? Yes. [here]
2-12-24, TheHill.com -- Dartmouth College announced this week it would be reinstating its requirement for applicants to submit scores from the SAT or ACT, a mandate that it and hundreds of other U.S. schools had dropped during the COVID-19 pandemic. The college said: “In particular, SAT/ACTs can be especially helpful in identifying students from less-resourced backgrounds who would succeed at Dartmouth but might otherwise be missed in a test-optional environment.”
Despite the celebration from some students and academics when schools nixed required SAT scores, Dartmouth says the results of an internal study showed they were actually helpful for constructing the best incoming class. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Georgetown University have also brought back testing requirements.

How to Erode the World’s Greatest Military
The U.S. Army has met only 40 percent of its 2022 recruiting goals. In fact, all branches of the USA military are facing historic resistance to their current [woke] recruiting efforts. If some solution is not found quickly, the armed forces will radically shrink or be forced to lower standards—or both.
[1-30-24, High school diploma no longer required. (1)]
| 7-25-22, * -- Military officials cite both the usual and a new array of challenges in finding suitable young soldiers: drug use, gang affiliation, physical and mental incapacities and the dislocations arising from the COVID pandemic and vaccination mandates. But they are too quiet about why such supposedly longer-term obstacles suddenly coalesced in 2022 — as if their own leadership and policies have had no effect in discouraging tens of thousands of young men and women to join them. In 2021 Defense Sec Austin and Joint Chiefs Milley were assuring the country not to worry over Joe Biden’s strange ideas of abruptly pulling out all U.S. troops from Afghanistan. [..] What followed was the worst U.S. military humiliation since Pearl Harbor. (2) The shame of defeat and the cloud of incompetence from Afghanistan has continued to harm recruitment efforts of the military. The global aftermath was eerie:
| Also, over generations US military recruits have been drawn from mostly the middle-class combat units: Vietnam, the various Iraq conflicts and Afghanistan. If the US military was consistent in its racial fixations, it might have noticed that white males — the purported targets of the Austin and Milley in their efforts to ferret out supposed white rage cells — died in three wars disproportionately at roughly twice their numbers in the general population. Current analysis of the haughty virtue signaling of Austin and Milley: traditional military families are not sending their sons and daughters into the ranks. It's not the danger of combat or the rigor of military life that families fear, but the suspicion their offspring will be targeted for ideological indoctrination and coercion that is either extraneous or antithetical to military efficacy. Much of unhappiness with the military arises partly from the woke (3) hysteria, the institutional disdain for President Donald Trump and his response to it, and the perceived rewards for those retired military lobbyists and corporate board members who reflect a new woke creed. [..] |
Unfortunately, the crisis in the U.S. military transcends even the Afghanistan misadventure, unsupported accusations against an entire demographic, the erosion of military familial loyalty, freelancing politicized officers, and asymmetrical applications of laws and codes.

Court Excoriates and Condemns FBI for Violation of Amendment 14
| 1-24-24, In the 2021 raid on safety deposit boxes in Beverly Hills CA the agents of FBI seized piles of valuables — gold coins, luxury watches, family heirlooms and stacks of cash from safety deposit boxes of citizens who had not been charged with any crime. And they did it despite being told, by the warrant authorizing the raid, that the contents of the safe deposit boxes were off-limits. In the affidavit requesting a warrant to go after U.S. Private Vaults, Assistant U.S. Attorney Andrew Brown wrote that federal agents intended to merely inventory the contents of the seized safe deposit boxes. But court documents later showed that the FBI had drawn up plans months earlier to forfeit property from the boxes and failed to inform the magistrate judge about those plans. | In 2024 the 9th Circuit Court's Conclusion: The FBI raid in Beverly Hills, CA ... "If there remained any doubt regarding whether the government conducted a criminal search or seizure, that doubt is put to rest by the fact the government has already used some of the information from inside the boxes to obtain additional warrants to further its investigation and begin new ones!” The three judges on the 9th Circuit panel called the FBI’s search of each safe deposit box without probable cause “egregious” and “outrageous.” Another likened the FBI’s actions to the maligned “general warrants” and “writs of assistance” issued in colonial times, which authorized British officials to search colonists’ homes indiscriminately for smuggled tea and other items. |
In the six years since this cartoon from Branco was published - think how much worse the FBI now is! The USA is a banana republic - who can doubt it?

Some property has been returned to the innocent victims of the raid, but only after they submitted to an FBI investigation or launched legal challenges seeking to recover what was taken. Many others have been unable to reclaim what they own. The class action lawsuit that goes before the 9th Circuit is not narrowly focused on the return of forfeited property, but on the underlying constitutional principles that the FBI disregarded and executed the raid.

John 3:16
Prophecy Being Fulfilled:
“Surely the sovereign LORD does nothing without revealing His plan to His servants.”
| Amos 3:7; Psalm 83:5 *** 2-6-24, * -- In November 2023 after the Islamic terror group from Gaza, Hamas invaded the Jewish state of Israel on 10-7-23, Turkey President Erdogan said Israel was a terror state and vowed support for the killers in Gaza. (1) Ezekiel 38:1-10 prophesies about a tremendous end-time battle where a coalition of nations led by an antichrist figure coming from areas in modern Turkey invades Israel and is destroyed by God. The coalition, led by “Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal (v 38:3)” is comprised of Persia, Ethiopia, Libya, Magog, Gomer and Togarmah. Ancient history and maps confirm that all locations are located in modern Turkey. Persia is modern Iran. Libya is Libya and Ethiopia is likely modern Sudan. For this Islamic coalition to come against Israel, Shiite Iran must submit to and unite with Sunni Turkey. Thus, the prophecy clock moves forward as these two nations now grow closer in their hate for Israel... [but it won't last - see Daniel 8:1-8.] | Turkey & Iran vs Jewish State of Israel 1-24-24, Rudaw.com -- Iran's President visits Turkey ... Tehran and Ankara sharing common support for the Palestinian cause. President Raisi said: “Iran and Turkey (Bible Daniel 8:1-8 says these two Islamic nations will go to war with Turkey the victor (2) [4] will have a common position in supporting the Palestinian people and the resistance of the oppressed. We agree with President Erdogan on the Palestinian cause and the rights of the Palestinian people to be given to them." Israel declared war on Palestinian Hamas militants in the Gaza strip after the group launched a large-scale air, ground, and sea offensive and infiltrated Israeli territory on October 7, 2023. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to turn all Hamas-controlled locations into “islands of ruins.” Israel killed senior commanders of Iran’s elite Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) in Syria including Hezbollah in Lebanon.

2-5-24, People who claim they're Christians and return to their past sinful behaviors are compared to dogs and swine - as they were before they still are.
