@MrsDrPublius Everyday I read something on X that shows the darker side of life/humanity. Thank you Mrs. D, for this timely message that I received from you today. Bookmarked!

Good Morning, Please join me for a daily scripture break. Hebrews 4:13: "Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account." Every now and then I like to meditate on the just nature of God.  Sometimes Christians are so eager to share with others the merciful nature of God on which we all depend - I know I do.  Remember avail yourself to the "tender mercies of God which anew every morning". (Lamentations 3:23) What a beautiful gift. There are times however, when we should also understand there is a just nature of God. It’s almost as if people take God’s mercy for granted.  When powerful people who are corrupt harm others with impunity (or it appears that way) I can become agitated because it sometimes appears they get away with their evil behavior. If I spend too much time on X and become inundated with all of the “bad news” out there - it wears on me a little.  I have to remind myself - I first examine my own conscience, repent of my own sin, seek forgiveness, and then offer thanksgiving and praise to the Lord for His mercy and grace. It will usually prompt me to offer prayers to God to intervene in the specific circumstance as well. THEN I will remind myself of this verse - “Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight.”  Christians are not called to judge others but you will be able discern good from evil because you will know them by their fruits.  Let everyone be forewarned: justice awaits everyone, and no one will escape.  I don’t know about you but that gives me solace when I witness injustice so pervasively practiced in our culture - yet, there is justice for the evil committed against the innocent. We serve a powerful God that is invincible - no matter what the circumstances appear to be. If you keep a prayer journal and you experience “ down” days sometimes - the following scriptures often help lift my spirit when I’m in one of these funks.  God sees everything - as merciful as God is - He is also equally just. These scriptures motivate me to examine myself first but remind myself justice must be satisfied. 1. Isaiah 30:18 2. Proverbs 21:15 3. Proverbs 29:26 4. Revelation 20:12 5. Matthew 25:31-32 6. Romans 2:6 7. Matthew 12:36 8. Galatians 6:7 9. Proverbs 15:3 10. Ecclesiastes 12:14 11.Psalms 9:7-8 12.Romans 12:19-21 This is also a great scripture to add to your Christian business journal. Have a blessed day. Peace and be prepared.

The bottom line is this… these evil fucks should slowly suffer first. Hard ass labor with minimal food & water and basically work them to death. Record it, make it a mandatory watch. The victims painfully suffered… I can’t think about the horrible things that were done to them.

Should child r*pists be executed by firing squad or hanging? Pick one.

Carol - Chuck Berry Honey Don’t - The Beatles Bernadette - Four Tops Folsom Prison Blues - Cash I’m Going Home - Alvin Lee & T.Y.A at Woodstock Johnny B. Goode - Jimi Hendrix Live at Berkeley Motor City Madhouse - Ted Nugent Loan Me A Dime - Boz Scaggs Yes - And You & I Eddie Money - Shakin

What are songs in your life that impacted you so much that you still remember when you heard it? Here’s my 10. How about you? Twist & Shout - The Beatles Stairway to Heaven - Led Zeppelin Free Bird - Lynyrd Skynyrd Tom Sawyer - Rush Everybody Wants to Rule the World - Tears for Fears Don’t Dream it’s Over - Crowded House Jeremy - Pearl Jam Jamie’s Crying - Van Halen Somewhere Only We Know - Keane Chasing Cars - Snow Patrol

@AmyMek Yes

Is anyone seeing these posts!?

@MikeBales "Is that a real poncho? I mean is that a Mexican poncho or is that a Sears poncho?" Hmmm… no fooling?

Hello darkness, my old friend…

As soon as I saw that Lynyrd Skynyrd wasn’t on the list, smh… L.S. Could out play most rock bands. Maybe got knocked out of the top 50 because they performed with a confederate flag on stage. Where’s Steely Dan, Grand Funk, Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band, The J. Geils Band, Aerosmith, The Eagles, Boston, Peter Frampton, Kiss? Making a good record is one thing, but playing your songs live and as good as the recording… that’s a damn good band with great players. Seriously?… Ramon’s, Joy Division, The Smith’s, T-Rex, The Strokes, Oasis, Stone Roses, Arcadia Fire, Franz Frednand? Sorry not top fifty.

U2 is WAY too high! So is Oasis.

@MrsDrPublius Thank you. 🙏

Good Morning, Please join me for a daily scripture break. John 15:5: “I am the vine; you are the branches.  If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.” To give you some context, Jesus is sharing the beautiful parable of the vine and its branches. Jesus is the vine and we (His followers) are the branches - receiving our nourishment through the vine.  To get the full context read verses John 15:1-8. God the Father is the Gardener.  There is much to decipher in the full context, I believe verse 5 is the centerpiece of the parable. Jesus is the very source of our sustenance as branches of the vine. Once again the condition of the promise is clearly pronounced to the believer, “if you remain in me…” and Jesus already promised He would remain in us (verse 4), “…as I also remain in you.” THEN the reward is "you will bear much fruit.” What is the fruit Jesus is referring to?  In Galatians 5:22-23 the fruits of the spirit are listed as "…love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.”  Each of these fruits of the spirit are worthy of deep biblical study to uncover the power of each. There are a couple of observations I’d like to briefly make. First, God actively develops these fruit in His people. Verse 2 says, “God cuts off every branch in Me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit He prunes so that it will be even more fruitful.”  God isn’t even talking about the lost world but those who are in Jesus.   Please read verse 2 again. We sometimes forget that as Christians we have responsibilities as members of the Body of Christ - we must not stagnate but we must continue to bear good fruit.  This verse goes a step further. Even if you do bear fruit, God will continue sharpen us through His Word. (Psalm 12:6). This pruning continues throughout our entire lives.  We develop these fruits of the spirit through testing. (Proverbs 17:3) Another tangential observation from this passage is "bearing fruit” is a litmus test.  There will be many from the world who will come to confuse and deceive the Body of Christ and use our faith for the deceiver's own political or other worldly gain. (Matthew 7:15). Our litmus test to judge the messaging from the world is outlined in Matthew 7:15-20.  What are bad fruits - (II Tim 3:2-5, I Cor 6:9-10, Matthew 15:19, Gal 5:19-21, etc). So the next time a politician, activist, wayward clergy, or government official tries to steer Christians in a certain direction, ask yourself is this person part of the vine and where are their fruits? Are they leading me away from the Word of God? During the temptation of Jesus, Satan made enticing arguments to Jesus to lead Him astray but Jesus remained focused on and quoted the Word of God. His response was affixed without flaw through the prism of the Word. I love how thorough God is. The last phrase of verse 5 is "... apart from me you can do nothing.”  So even if you are deceived by the world through manipulation of language or darkened interpretation of the Word of God, we as Christians can do nothing without Jesus. We must remain in Him and He has promised to remain in us - our sustenance comes from the vine not the world - it is what sustains us the branches. Peace and be prepared.

Thank you Sir for the article and breaking it down. I had no idea how UW worked and how it relates to IMIP. It was confusing to wrap my head around it. I’ve been following this story since DR exposed them. I always try to stay open-minded and research both sides and assume the truth usually lies somewhere in the middle until I get enough legitimate information. I feel better informed after reading this. A look forward to your other articles on this network. My eyes are slowly beginning to open. All the best!

As promised yesterday I went through @DataRepublicans thread on the Inter Movement Impact Project (IMIP) and unpacked it from a full Green Beret perspective. I spent 30 plus years hunting insurgent networks in Iraq Syria the Horn of Africa and Afghanistan. Her thread laid out the receipts. Today I am adding the doctrinal lens most people never see. Exactly where IMIP fits inside Unconventional Warfare doctrine how the network was deliberately engineered the overseas skillsets now being used at home the timeline of activation and why this network of networks is built to survive. Full article is now live: Open Insurgency: A Green Berets Analysis of IMIP I break it down section by section so any American can see the pattern for themselves. No speculation just public facts through an operators eyes. Read it share it and map this in your own backyard. Awareness is the first step. #IMIP #DataRepublican #GreenBeretPerspective

Yep 💯 and I’m a Boomer, born on the cusp b:1960 😁 so I don’t qualify to respond but life was good in the 70’s. On my 13th birthday, my parents said that I could smoke, but only at home and, only if wanted too. They didn’t push it or promote it. When I turned 16, my father said I could drink his beer that he kept in the garage refrigerator but only drink at home and, only one per day. He counted them. My parents told me that they didn’t want me sneaking out to go somewhere to do those things. Two things my parents hated was lying & being a sneak. By the time I turned 18, I had done so much as a teenager, I was treated like a responsible adult by my parents because I kept my life together. All my buddies were pretty much allowed to have those freedoms by 16. We were dude’s always wrenching & repairing our 1970’s cars. We fixed our stuff, I helped my father do all home repairs. No cell phones, your car broke down you were walking. No internet, no distractions. Also, not a lot of tattoos in life, other than my dad who had two from the late 50’s, but he was a biker & a hot rodder. Only bikers, ex-cons & military men had tattoos in my life. It was a badge of honor they wore… you knew to respect them or you just might get cold cocked. Thanks Dad for raising me to be a man, you were difficult at times, a hard ass, a fighter, a builder, no B.S man. You gave me free rein & trusted me. He never hugged me, babied me, told me I was the greatest, or told me he loved me. He would say “A man never talks about his problems”. Or “You cut yourself working, spit on it, rub it in the dirt and get back to work”. He was far from perfect, he didn’t want me to be like him his goal was that I became a man. When I got married and we had our first child, he told me he was proud of me and shook my hand. That it’s, his approval was his way of showing his love. I wish I could go back to those times. Best music, all girls were pretty and normal and we grew up fast. Had strong backs and we knew we had to get a job and go to work. No college or freebies in my life. Work hard, play hard. FYI, Stopped smoking & drinking at 25 when I became a father. I had already been doing that stuff for 10 years 😎

Gen X check: Does anyone else immediately lose respect for someone the second you see pronouns listed? Or is it just me? #GenX

@Milajoy Ditto.

I’m fucking done. Sixty years of grinding. A four-year degree earned the hard way. Raising good kids. Paying every tax they demanded. Following every rule. Voting the way they told us to. And for what? A system that mocks us. Politicians who lie to our faces on camera. Empty promises of “better days” that were nothing but bait. They cash the checks. We foot the bill. We built this country. We carried it on our backs. We were the ones who still believed hard work would pay off. Newsflash: It doesn’t. Not anymore. Not for honest, working, middle-class Americans. We’re not blind anymore. We’re awake. We’re angry. And we’re done staying quiet. Who else is finished being exploited? Drop a 🔥 if you’re with me. This ends now.

@BuzzPatterson Oh, just fair to middling. I’ll be doing the happy dance when all the trash in this country is cleaned up 🚮

Good morning from chilly Lake Tahoe! How the hell are ya?!

Thanks Elon for all that you have done and continue to do. On this planet. Much respect bro🫡 I’m an old tradesman, so when I see steel being erected, it means jobs for the trades. I'm sure the A&E’s, construction manager’s, and all trades on that site are grateful for the work. I’d rather be working my butt off in the hot sun or dead of winter for a paycheck any day. Being unemployed due to the downturn in construction sucks. I worked In the greater Detroit building trades and we saw work slow down every 3-4 years it seemed. In Detroit, when the economy dips, car sales tank, and lots of trades people laid off until the economy would recover. Construction work is never guaranteed, it depends on what comes in the bid pipeline, and the lowest bidder usually wins. Your competitors are fighting for the same projects. Detroit's an industrial town, so that's my personal experience. Glad SpaceX is creating work for the construction industry…American jobs. Thanks again for building in the USA!

Look at the tiny cars in the foreground to get a sense of the vastness of the building

American man here…. I can’t thank you enough. You are one of the few decent people in our government. I have lots of respect for you and I support what you are doing. These untouchable politicians need to face the same consequences as I would if I pulled the same shenanigans as them.

It’s seems like the Senate has its own trash to take out. @LeaderJohnThune You need to look into the allegations against one of your Senators, it’s very disturbing. My chief will be contacting your chief.

I’d love to get on that random list. I don’t have a law degree, but I bring something just as valuable… strong common sense, a clear sense of right and wrong, and a solid work ethic. I’m not afraid to make tough decisions, and I take full ownership when I make mistakes. I have zero tolerance for dishonesty, corruption, or anyone who abuses women and children. If I see wrongdoing, I’ll call it out directly and do what’s necessary to address it. I’m not perfect, but I’m confident I would serve with far more integrity and dedication than many currently in similar roles. I have no ulterior motives… I just want to do what’s right.

The American people would be better off if we randomly picked 535 random American citizens to run Congress each year. That’s how corrupt, owned, perverted and worthless Congress is. Facts.

Breaks my heart to hear this💔. I’m a father of two adult girls. I was overly protective of them and always worried that what happened to you, could happen to them. They are in their late 30’s now and I still worry. I wish I the ways & means to get elected, I’d burn all those mother fuckers down. They are not men, they are fucking spineless, snakey fucks with a law degree. What I would give to be locked in a room with each one… “ heck 🤷 “ I don’t know what happened, I was talking to him and next thing I know his face hit the floor”. Seriously, I’m so pissed off reading your post. I need to go for a walk. I hate our government, top down, men & women both. Fucking useless lying P.O.S

I was raped when I was fourteen.
 That single sentence still tastes like iron and ash in my mouth every time I say it. It carved something permanent into my nervous system…the bone-deep knowledge that power plus opportunity equals predation. So when I watch the very men and women who write the laws that bind the rest of us turn out to be the same fucking predators, using congressional slush funds…our money…to buy the silence of the girls they rape and assault, my rage isn’t performative. It’s cellular. These are not “bad apples.” These are pathological specimens of the highest order: narcissistic sociopaths whose criminogenic profiles read like a textbook on elite sexual offending. Grooming, coercion, post-assault financial domination…classic power-based predation wrapped in the armor of legislative immunity. They don’t just commit the crimes; they legislate the cover-up. They draft the statutes that govern consent, reporting timelines, and statute-of-limitations while simultaneously ensuring their own victims can be paid off with taxpayer dollars and buried under NDAs thicker than the Constitution they swore to uphold. That is not hypocrisy. That is institutionalized sadism. It is the deliberate weaponization of the social contract against the most vulnerable. And the blackest part? They refuse…categorically refuse…to release the names of the congress members who have drained that secret fund. They hide behind procedural fig leaves while the rest of us are expected to live under the laws they carve out with the same hands that signed the checks to their victims. That isn’t governance. That is racketeering with a gavel. It is a criminal enterprise operating inside the very chamber that claims moral supremacy over the rest of the republic. I don’t want thoughts and prayers. I do not want fucking sympathy either. I don’t want another blue-ribbon panel. I want the names. I want the receipts. I want every single one of these legislative rapists stripped of office, stripped of pension, stripped of the illusion that their pathology entitles them to rule over the daughters of citizens they view as disposable. Because if the people who make the law are allowed to rape with impunity and then tax us to keep their mouths shut, then the law itself is just another instrument of violation. I survived once.
 This country doesn’t get to tell me I have to survive its lawmakers too.
 Not anymore.
Release the fucking names.
 Or admit that the United States Congress is running a protected pedophile-and-rapist welfare program on the public dime. 💀🔪🩸

@TaraBull See you.

I like when they purge bots so I can see my real followers, let me know if you can see me

@MrsDrPublius My first post to read this morning 🙏 I have always struggled to understand some deep scripture. I get frustrated and move on. I never thought to break a passage down like this. Thank you for sharing your method. Bookmarked for training my brain. Peace.

Good Morning, Let’s take a daily scripture break together. II Cor 10: 3-5, “For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does.  The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ." I thought it would be interesting to approach our scripture break in a different format today. If there are any new believers out there, I thought this post may help you craft a comfortable rhythm to your daily devotionals. When I'm studying a passage of scripture I’ll follow these steps to try and gain a clearer understanding of the author’s intention under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Step 1. Read the passage three times slowly. Step 2. Dissect each sentence and formulate a question that will help clarify its meaning. Then search the scriptures for the answers to these questions. Step 3. Identify the items we as believers are tasked to do. Step 4. Identify the blessings God promises if we are obedient. Step 5. Identify how these passages strengthen my Christian worldview. Step 6. Assess what you learned. Let’s examine each step with regard to II Cor 10:3-5. 1. Step 1 - read the scripture three times. 2. Step 2 - Sentence #1 - How does the world wage war? Sentence #2 - What are the weapons we as Christians are to use?  Sentence #3 - What is a stronghold? Sentence #4 - What are examples of arguments and pretensions that oppose the knowledge of God? Sentence #5 - What does it mean to take a thought captive? 3. Step 3 - a. We live in the world, b. We wage war with divine weapons, c. We demolish arguments and EVERY pretension that opposes the knowledge of God, d. We take every thought captive. 4. Step 4 - If we are obedient to these instructions - we will not waste our time falling prey to the deceptions of the world with their failed strategies but live in the light of God’s Word. 5. Step 5 - When we complete Steps 1-4, then we’re positioned to establish and propagate a rightly discerned Christian worldview. 6. Step 6 - Re-read the passage again. Do you have a deeper understanding of the verses? This is one of several techniques I use to study the Word of God. I hope it's helpful for some of you. This isn’t the only way to study the Bible but I find it particularly useful with passages packed with godly wisdom and knowledge. In a few days, I'll share my what I discovered using the technique regarding this passage. Everyone is welcomed to share "their study techniques". Peace and be prepared.

@MrsDrPublius Thank you.

Good Morning, Please join me for a daily scripture break. Ephesians 6:11, “Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the Devil’s schemes." I realize I've mentioned this verse several times in our scripture breaks.  It’s coming up in my spirit for a reason, I trust.  We've reviewed what the full armor of God means as defined in Ephesians 6:13-17 several times. So let’s examine the phrase “so that you can take your stand against the Devil’s schemes”.  What are the Devil’s schemes? I interpret the “Devil’s schemes” as his tactics - how he operates.  In Mark 4:1-9, Jesus teaches a large crowd the parable of the sower. When Jesus is alone with the Twelve and those around Him, he explained the meaning of the parable in verses 13-20. Specifically, in verses 16 and 17, Jesus exposes the tactics of the Devil and WHY he attacks us. The Devil hates the Word of God and he knows the Word protects us and it contains divine power. The Devil will use afflictions and persecution to choke the Word; the lure of wealth, the cares of this world, and the lust for other things (distractions of the world) also to choke the Word of God in your life. He uses these tactics to weaken and if possible destroy you - if you don’t put on the full Armor of God this scripture infers you won’t be able to successfully resist these tactics. To summarize, this is the list of his schemes (tactics) the Devil uses and their effect on us - 1. Afflictions - to burden our minds or cause suffering 2. Persecution - to inflict pain, suffering, and despair 3. Lure of Wealth - to get us to depend on wealth not God to solve our problems 4. Lust for other things - to immerse ourselves in distractions (our interests, our hobbies, ourselves, accolades/honors from the world,  the world's material goods, etc.) 5. Cares of this world - the problems of the world - we worry about destructive philosophies, poverty, injustice, human slavery, the list goes on. Please take a moment to examine your own life. Are there any areas in your life the Devil has made any inroads by using these tactics; beginning to establish any strongholds? In the military, you are taught to study the tactics of an enemy in order to understand and defeat them, and who is our enemy? (Ephesians 6:12) All of these schemes are used by the Devil against us to get us to give up on God’s Word and discard our Armor. This is why we are instructed to put on the full armor of God - then we are armed to defeat the Devil’s tactics - “so that you can take your stand". Never give up on the promises of God, if we remain diligent to do what God says we will prevail. (Proverbs 3:1-6) Peace and be prepared.

@Chicago1Ray I say it every day and most people do. It rolls off the tongue nicely. I say it when I’m happy, mad, when my teams win or lose… it’s just a word.

Hit that like button if you have no problem whatsoever with the way Trump talks to our enemies... let the left hear you

One of life’s simple pleasures. Mom jokingly called it “shit on a shingle” we had it for dinner about once a month in the 60’s & 70’s. I didn’t like it with toast, Dad did, so my mother would make mashed potatoes and spoon on the creamed dried beef. Yes, it’s the best. Thanks Mom.

Do you know what this is? I’ll tell you what it is. It’s Heaven at 3 AM in an Air Force dining hall.
