🙏 11-30-22, Romans 5:6-11 While the Lord Jesus Christ died for guilty hateful sinners whose everlasting punishment would be to the glory of God's justice; He died to save us from our sins. And by Divine grace the Lord accepted our repentance and belief in Christ and thus were justified by the price of His shed blood. And by faith in that atonement, much more through Him who died and rose again. The living Lord of all will complete the purpose of His dying love, by saving all true believers to the uttermost. 🙏

Russia Finalizes Ban on |
11-30-22, RT.com [here] -- Russia finalizes ‘LGBTQ propaganda’ ban On 11-30-22 the Russian Federation Held Session to approve a bill that imposes a complete ban on LGBTQ, Homosexual, pedophilia and sex-change ‘propaganda.' It will become law after President Vladimir Putin signs it. The bill outlaws ‘propaganda’ in books, movies, media and advertising. The “protection of traditional values” legislation was unanimously backed by all 153 senators. | While the law does not introduce criminal liability for violators – as well as for repeat offenders – it carries heavy fines for both individuals and organizations who are in violation. Individuals risk penalty of 400,000 rubles ($6,600) and corporate entities a penalty of up to five million rubles (around $83,000) for promoting homosexual ‘propaganda’. AND anyone promoting pedophilia face double the amount in fines. Russia protects children... |
3-29-21, During the debate over the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, Democrat Sen Dick Durbin claimed that "undocumented immigrants do not have Social Security numbers, and they do not qualify for stimulus relief checks, period." He was wrong on both counts. [..] in a new Center for Immigration Studies report illegal migrants receiving Social Security numbers and benefits include about 650,000 recipients of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) and about 400,000 with Temporary Protected Status (TPS). DACA is the administrative amnesty Obama created for adult illegal migrants who arrived as minors. TPS is supposed to be a short-term program for people who cannot return (or be returned) to their home countries temporarily because of a natural disaster or civil strife. But, like much else in our immigration system, TPS has been abused by immigration advocates...
Illegal Migrants in the USA are Overwhelmingly Democrat and too often they illegally vote in elections [here] 7-22-13, PewResearch -- Political leaders and analysts have predicted that there will be “an electoral bonanza for Democrats” if the nation’s estimated 11.1 million illegal migrants are granted the right to vote. [This article is from 2013 when Obama ruled -- Ed.] In 2012, the Pew Research Center’s Natl Survey found that among illegal migrants some 31% identify as Democrat and just 4% as Republicans. | NO 'Evidence!" but it may be true! No evidence for viral claim that ‘22 million illegal migrants voted! In the USA millions of illegal migrants regularly vote in elections despite the fact they illegally live in the USA ... we still trust their honesty - BECAUSE there is a Federal law requiring citizenship to vote in national elections and voters must swear and sign a form - under penalty of perjury - that they are citizens we accept they are citizens if they sign it ... as THEY WOULD NEVER LIE, WOULD THEY? | House Democrats vote to let some illegal migrants work for them on the Hill [here] 7-29-21, FoxNews -- House Democrats passed a massive legislative budget this week that allows members of Congress to hire illegal migrants to work for them on Capitol Hill. The legislative funding bill "includes language to permit DACA recipients, Dreamers, to be able to work for Congress and other legislative branch agencies," Democratic Ohio Rep. Tim Ryan noted on the House floor Wednesday. |

11-22-22, Guardian -- Ole Joe Biden asks US Congress to block railroad strike that could ‘devastate economy’ ... The potential strike comes after long-running negotiations reached an impasse and both sides agreeing to a cooling-off period that ends December 9, 2022. The USA Congress has the power to impose contract terms on the workers. Congress could force the negotiations to continue into the new year. Four rail unions that represent more than half of the 115,000 workers in the industry have rejected the deals that Biden helped broker before the original strike deadline in September. Eight other unions have approved their five-year deals with the railroads and are in the process of getting back pay for their workers for the 24% raises that are retroactive to 2020... More here

9-13-22, IEN.COM -- OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — On 9-11-22, the heads of the nation's two largest rail unions said that the freight railroads' move to begin delaying some shipments ahead of this week's looming strike deadline is only an attempt to get shippers to increase the pressure on Congress to intervene and block a work stoppage by imposing a contract on workers ... The railroad trade group said there's no way trucks can pick up the slack if the railroads stop moving because roughly 467,000 additional trucks a day would be needed to handle all the cargo trains haul and there is already a shortage of truck drivers.

9-10-22, Hal Turner -- Major freight railroads, in a bid to apply pressure on unions and USA Congress, say a strike that could come after a key deadline passes on 9-15-22; it would cost the economy more than $2 billion a day. [..] Ole Joe Biden's Presidential Emergency Board recommended a five-year deal, retroactive to 2020, that includes 24% raises and $5,000 in bonuses. But it wants unions to take their concerns about attendance policies, paid leave and expenses to arbitration or to negotiate separately with the railroads. Unions say their workloads have become unbearable after railroads eliminated nearly one-third of their work forces over the past six years. [..] Between this railroad strike, and a pending strike by United Parcel Service (UPS) Drivers (Story Here), the nation could find 95% of its Supply Chain crippled. If you need to buy something which would be shipped by either of these methods, you'd better order it right now to get delivery before any strike begins. More here from CNN

Washington Post Report on Eating Bugs: 11-28-22, Update -- Two billion people worldwide are already eating bugs. It cited a report predicting that the edible insect industry will grow to $9.6 billion in annual revenue by 2030. “Consumers can already find foods like salted ants on Amazon and cricket powder protein bars in Swiss grocery stores. Recent years have seen numerous media stories extolling the virtues of insect-eating.” Washington Post News is one of the leading media promoters of bugs as human food. The newspaper is owned by the founder of Amazon, billionaire Jeff Bezos, who is reportedly an insect-eating enthusiast. | Bezos also has ties to the World Economic Forum [WEF], which has repeatedly touted eating bugs as a way to ease climate change. The goal is to make bug-eating the “new norm,” which will require programming Americans to get past their squeamishness about cockroaches and other six-legged sources of food. “Watching others may also help break down the barriers,” the Post said. Online critics balked at the idea. WaPo’s Twitter post about Sunday’s article was ratioed.

'Alone With God'
Lyrics:
When storms of life are round me beating,
When rough the path that I have trod,
Within my closet door retreating,
I love to be alone with God.
Refrain:
Alone with God, the world forbidden,
Alone with God, O blest retreat!
Alone with God, and in Him hidden,
To hold with Him communion sweet.
What though the clouds have gathered o’er me?
What though I’ve passed beneath the rod?
God’s perfect will there lies before me,
When I am thus alone with God.
’Tis there I find new strength for duty,
As o’er the sands of time I plod;
I see the King in all His beauty,
While resting there alone with God.
And when I see the moment nearing
When I shall sleep beneath the sod,
When time with me is disappearing,
I want to be alone with God.

Canada is Pro-Death:
World Leader in Medically Assisted Suicide
Trying to pass law to DO CHILDREN WITHOUT PARENTAL CONSENT
11-1-22, NaturalNews [here] -- Euthanasia [assisted suicide] was once a criminal act when carried out on adults. In 2021, Canada became the “world leader in euthanasia” death. Since 2016, Canadian medical authorities assisted 31,000 deaths. Canadian hospitals have become death camps, it's a macabre place where treatment and counseling is withheld, where hopelessness and suicide is encouraged. As the depravity spreads, the Canadian Parliament is now considering a law that would allow medical authorities to assist minors into a medically-assisted suicide, without parental consent. By 2021, the Canadian Parliament passed a more cavalier euthanasia law (Bill C-7), => | <= allowing people with a non-mental illness related condition to kill themselves. [..] Lawmakers created a provision that opens the door for minors to be euthanized. C-7 calls for a “comprehensive review of the provisions of the Criminal Code relating to medical assistance in dying and their application, including - but not limited to - issues relating to MATURE MINORS….” According to Canada’s Dept of Justice, “parents are generally ‘entitled to make treatment decisions on their children’s behalf.” Currently, Canada is seeking to expand euthanasia to include “mature minors” while stopping any family member from intervening, while revoking parental rights.

3-23-21, Forbes -- Is Bitcoin a kind of money? Economists say that money performs three functions. It serves as:

- A store of value: People feel comfortable holding their wealth in it.
A unit of account: Even individuals who have been very successful in trading Bitcoin quote their wealth in dollars, not Bitcoin. A store of value: While many people hold Bitcoin, its frequent large price fluctuations make it very risky as an asset for holding one’s wealth. Cryptocurrencies have been designed to serve as currencies, but they don’t yet fulfill the central functions of money.

12-14-20, TVUIsraelNews – In recent days during a state visit to Azerbaijan, Turkish President Tayyip Erdoğan reviewed a military parade marking Azerbaijan’s victory in the 1990’s over Armenia in a bloody war which saw them seize other outlying regions belonging to Azerbaijan.
Russia brokered a ceasefire in the recent Nagorno-Karabakh conflict by locking in the Azeri gains, as well as the deployment of Russian peacekeepers to the region. In a separate deal, Moscow and Ankara also agreed to jointly monitor the truce. It failed. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-55292613 While he was in Baku, Erdoğan recited an Azeri-Iranian poem about the division of Azerbaijan’s territory between Russia and Iran in the 19th century. Tehran was immediately incensed over the remarks, out of apparent concern they could fan separatist tendencies among Iran’s Azeri minority. Both nations have summoned their ambassadors to return home from the other nation over the incident. The northwest Iranian region of Azerbaijan borders on the independent state of Azerbaijan, that is a former Soviet Republic. Azeris observe Shi’ite Islam – which is the same as Iran’s official state religion; Turkey’s state Islamic religion is Sunni. |
On its website Iran’s Foreign Ministry said: “The Turkish ambassador was informed that the era of territorial claims and expansionist empires is over. Iran does not allow anyone to meddle in its territorial integrity.”
And Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif fumed in a Twitter post: “President Erdoğan was not informed that what he ill-recited in Baku refers to the forcible separation of areas…from (the) Iranian motherland. NO ONE can talk about OUR beloved Azerbaijan.” [..] Speaking alongside Azeri counterpart renewing his call for a change of the Yerevan government Erdoğan said his nation doesn’t “hold any grudge against Armenian people – our problem is with the Armenian leadership.” [..] Azeri President Aliyev stated that “If the Armenian leadership draws the right consequences from the war, drop their unfounded claims and look into the future, they also have a place in this platform. We are open to this.” |
Iranian and Turkish parallels are noteworthy. Both countries have populations of 80 million. (Egypt, the region’s third large country, has 96 million.) Both boast ancient civilizations, long imperial histories, tensions with Russia, and a successful avoidance of European colonialism. In modern times, each came under the rule of a ruthless modernizer after World War I, followed more recently by an even more repressive Islamist.

Even Democrat President Roosevelt in 1939 Thanked God
“Whereas it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and humbly to implore His protection and favor—and Whereas both Houses of Congress have by their Joint Committee requested me "to recommend to the People of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many signal favors of Almighty God, especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness. “Now therefore I do recommend and assign Thursday the 26th day of November next to be devoted by the People of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being, who is the beneficent Author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be—That we may then all unite in rendering unto Him our sincere and humble thanks—for His kind care and protection of the People of this country previous to their becoming a Nation—for the signal and manifold mercies, and the favorable interpositions of His providence, which we experienced in the course and conclusion of the late war—for the great degree of tranquility, union, and plenty, which we have since enjoyed—for the peaceable and rational manner in which we have been enabled to establish constitutions of government for our safety and happiness, and => | <= particularly the national One now lately instituted, for the civil and religious liberty with which we are blessed, and the means we have of acquiring and diffusing useful knowledge; and in general for all the great and various favors which HE hath been pleased to confer upon us. And also that we may then unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplications to the great Lord and Ruler of Nations and beseech HIM to pardon our national and other transgressions — to enable us all, whether in public or private stations, to perform our several and relative duties properly and punctually — to render our national government a blessing to all the People, by constantly being a government of wise, just, and constitutional laws, discreetly and faithfully executed and obeyed -- to protect and guide all Sovereigns and Nations (especially such as have shown kindness unto us) and to bless them with good government, peace, and concord — To promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue and the increase of science among them and Us—and generally to grant unto all mankind such a degree of temporal prosperity as HE alone knows to be best. Given under my hand at the City of New York the third day of October in the year of our Lord 1789. Go. Washington, October 3, 1789 Note: Highlighted by Annette |
In the old days the Democrats honored God ... even President Roosevelt; his Thanksgiving proclamation from 1939 follows:
Thanksgiving Was Celebrated Before President Washington’s Official 1789 Proclamation 11-24-22, * -- Happy Thanksgiving 2022 America! Did you know that God was honored and thanked before the current USA federal holiday we now celebrate? On September 28, 1789 the first Federal Congress passed a resolution asking that President Washington to recommend to the nation a day of thanksgiving. On October 3, 1789 President Washington issued a proclamation naming Thursday, November 26, 1789 as a "Day of Publick Thanksgiving" [transcript above]. Five previous ones follow: | Before the Pilgrims celebrated Thanksgiving in Massachusetts, a gathering meant for giving thanks to God took place in colonial Virginia. English Captain John Woodlief and a crew of 35 men sailed down the James River on Dec. 4, 1619 and landed at what became Berkeley Plantation and celebrated the occasion he said: “We ordain that the day of our ship’s arrival, at the place assigned for plantation, in the land of Virginia shall be yearly and perpetually kept holy as a day of thanksgiving to Almighty God.” [1] Transcript from 1789 here *Excerpted and adapted full original report by Michael Gryboski, Christian Post more here |

The Left’s Attack on
Viril Masculine Men in America
“I want to talk with you about the Left’s attempt to give us a world beyond men. The Left controls the White House, the House of Representatives & the Senate. Their voices predominate in the media, Hollywood, sports & of course our universities. They believe the USA is systemically racist, oppressive, patriarchal and if only Americans would get woke enough to see it - it’d be rebuilt from top to bottom. … their grand ambition is to deconstruct America. The process begins with & depends on the deconstruction of American men … they want to define traditional masculinity as toxic … virtues like courage, independence, strength & assertiveness as danger. Sadly they’ve had alarming success as American men are working & marrying less & fathering fewer children. They’re suffering more anxiety & depression & engaging in more substance abuse. It’s not just a crisis for men; it’s a crisis for the republic. In regard to women … many Democrats in the Senate won’t even say the word “mother” - now they’re labeled “Birthing people” [here] as if women don’t exist. And leftwing advocates are trying to destroy women’s sports, as if women & men are somehow interchangeable; all that is also part of the deconstructionist agenda. | We need men who will shoulder responsibility, men who will [work earning a paycheck—Ed.], enter the covenant of marriage, honor it & provide for their families. Men who’ll raise up sons & daughters after them, to pass on the great truths of our culture & history, to defend liberty, to share in self-government. [..] US University curricula abound with seminars on masculinity & its defects:
|
We must repudiate the lie that America is a systemically oppressive & men are responsible. Virile & masculine men in the USA should know their struggle is noble and they are needed. Men must know they can be a tremendous force for good; and their nation needs them - the world needs them!"

11-23-22, Gary Varvel -- America needs to give thanks to our Creator, the only one true God. All of our problems that divide us as a nation could be resolved if we all sought the God of the Bible. God made people to worship.
“Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD…”
... “Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever.”
Psalm 33:12, 118:1
"THE LORD IS THERE.”
[Jehovah-Shammah] Not that the city will be called so in mere name, but that the reality will be best expressed by this descriptive title.
(Jeremiah 3:17; 33:16; Zechariah 2:10; Revelation 21:3; 22:3)

Cryptos vs Precious Metals Gold still holds some distinct advantages over cryptos. A physical gold Eagle in your hand is a tangible form of wealth, while cryptos are essentially ether that rely on electricity and the internet. Cryptos can be hacked (and many have); a gold Eagle cannot. A gold Eagle can get wet; your USB drive gets wet and there goes your cryptos. | Gold vs. Bitcoin: Which Is Better? - Investopedia 1-5-22, Investopedia -- If you're looking for an asset that you can quickly move in and out of without losing value in a short time (like Bitcoin can), gold might be a better option. It is a much more liquid asset and can allow you to reallocate your portfolio quicker when the market fluctuates. |
US may extradite Sam Bankman-Fried amid FTX collapse 11-16-22, The USA is discussing with the Bahamas extraditing former crypto billionaire Sam Bankman-Fried to the U.S. for questioning regarding the collapse of his company. FTX was the third-largest crypto market in the world at the start of last week when it announced liquidity problems and said it would need a massive infusion of cash to stay afloat. | Binance, the world's largest crypto market, initially stepped in and offered to buy the company, but it backed out of the deal after looking into FTX's finances. Reuters reported that at least $1 billion of customer funds had disappeared and that people told the news outlet that Bankman-Fried had secretly transferred $10 billion of customer funds from FTX to his trading company, Alameda Research. |
11-21-22, Almighty God told the Prophet Ezekiel about a future war with the land of Magog, Tubal, Gomer and Meshech. "Gog" is the name of a captain or prince from "the land of Magog" (Genesis 10:2 son of Japheth). The Lord, the mighty God & King of kings is against Gog. -- More here: https://bit.ly/3XkiRHX | The land to the North of Israel is today's Islamic nation of 'Turkey'. Clearly the hatred of the Muslims towards the Jews is no secret. A leader of Iran [Persia] has boldly proclaimed that they will push the Jews into the sea ... God will not allow it!
