👆💥🔥 Video of someone driving by that scene. This will definitely make the news! It caused a phone text alert which is usually used only for weather warnings, such as the flood warning issued shortly before this one.

Ok… I’m done with the UAP “disclosure” circus and every other drip-feed of half-truths designed to keep us in permanent emotional whiplash. The fear porn, the anxiety bait, the constant panic buttons … none of it is accidental. It’s deliberate manipulation, and it’s sick and sadistic.

We’re told we’re in a war, and “all war is deception.” Fine. But we don’t have to play the game. We can refuse to bite on every piece of chum thrown in the water.

So here’s my message to the fear merchants and the people bending truth for clicks, control, or whatever twisted agenda they’re serving:

Put up or shut up…

Disclose everything … you’re not protecting anyone. You are creating a bigger problem … trauma based psychosis and destruction of people’s ability to ever trust again. Lies have a way of doing that.,

Until you have something real, verifiable, and actionable … stop. Just stop. The rest of us are choosing a different path.

Wait to panic until there’s actually something to panic about. Resist the urge to draw conclusions. In the meantime my sane friends…

- Plant your garden.
- Check on your neighbor.
- Fight the honorable fights right in front of you.
- And trust the One who is actually running the show.

God is still on the throne. Praise God!!!

“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.”
2 Timothy 1:7

If you’re exhausted from the emotional rollercoaster, this is your permission slip to get off. Breathe. Focus on what’s real. Love the people around you. Live like someone who knows who’s really in charge.

The manipulators can keep playing their games.
We’re choosing faith, fruitfulness, and peace

The biggest monsters are those in the demonic global crime syndicate on this planet … the ones spinning the hype.

With God in charge we will deal with whatever comes. He’s in charge … and the hype monsters need to …

Put up or shut up!!!!

Have you taken time to ponder the inconsistencies??

We live in a surveillance state where they have the ability to listen into all our conversations know where we buy our underwear … can find $600 transactions and tax us plebs for it … can turn off cameras to hide things while having the ability to see through walls in our houses … capture info on cell phones (whether they are on or off) … can easily see more than 50 feet underground … bounce signals through the earth to communicate with submarines … pin point our every move with the assistance of gate analysis, biometrics, and facial recognition … can extract scary accurate info from historical photos and videos …

And still can’t figure out who killed President Kennedy … what happened to Epstein (who are the pedos roaming free) … what’s up with Aliens … who is doing blackmailing … what happened to 800k kids a year who go missing … who is trafficking kids, adults, drugs, weapons, etc, …

You almost have to laugh at the absurdity of all of it to keep your sanity!!!

Enjoy the show!! Thank central casting etc for the “entertainment only” news cycle!

PS I’ll volunteer yo be on the welcoming community to whatever is coming.

Following your emotion over your reason is disordered..

Demons get people to drive actions by emotional manipulation.

The more that we follow our emotions, the more disconnected we are from God.

Good morning!!

Another day to defy the norm on planet earth. We are a peculiar people.

The thing that set us apart is our service to God and man worshiping God alone, and not the things of this world.

Everything here is temporary a real treasure is in heaven. Living throughout eternity in the presence of God Almighty … in the presence of pure love … I can’t think of anything here that could even remotely compare.

Bring the light of Christ in this world! Love … service to God and humanity.

A few years ago I had the privilege to host David and Erin Clements as they were stranded in Grand Rapids during Covid. In spite of the non-ideal circumstances we had a wonderful time getting to know each other, their commitment to God and serving him in this world is inspiring.

He is Risen! 🙏

In this powerful Easter message (Ep. 24 – 'Death, Burial, and the Arena'), David Clements cuts straight through the chaos, confusion, and division swirling in our world right now. With calm wisdom and deep biblical truth, he reminds us why we don’t jump ship on Trump or lose heart … because the same God who turned death into resurrection is still writing the story.

A timely, faith-filled call to stand firm. One of the wisest pieces I’ve seen in a long time.

It’s worth the time to listen …

First off let’s talk about optics…

Most of the messages making it through aren’t meant for us. We are in a war. Unless a person buys into the bread and circuses fake news….alt news has migrated into this space ….

It might be to keep those busy who would just get in the way because “ego” dictates a self righteous response.

My Grandfathers wise responses of …”well … well … well” floats to the top of the list of wise counsel.

What trusting God looks like is an unmovable calm in the storm.

Comfy??

Bet the enemies of God aren’t right about now.

The instruction manual says … trust in the Lord with all your heart and LEAN NOT ON YOUR OWN UNDERSTANDING… but in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your path straight.

Good morning…

Because I find purpose in fixing problems … I look for problems.

Sometimes they find me … but ultimately my favorite activity is finding solutions and fixing problems. It’s amazing how God gives us lots of purposeful opportunities to make a difference…

My heart really goes out to the hardworking single moms out there who are doing everything they can to build a brighter future for their kids. I recently hired a single mom who bravely escaped a horrible abusive relationship. First time I met her she was shaking with trauma…

She is a great mom and is so dedicated and motivated … she truly wants to break the cycle and provide stability for her family. But she’s facing a tough, all-too-common challenge … no reliable transportation. Getting to work each day is a real struggle, and without steady work, owning a car is impossible. It’s a heartbreaking loop that keeps too many good people stuck, and it weighs on me every time I think about it.

This situation has me reflecting on bigger issues in our society, like the Cash for Clunkers program from the Obama years. Marketed as a green-energy win and economic boost, it was a destructive lie based on perverse intention.

It resulted in nearly 700,000 perfectly usable cars being taken off the road and destroyed. Many of those were affordable, reliable vehicles that low-income families desperately needed. While it helped new-car sales for manufacturers, it left everyday Americans with fewer low-cost options for the transportation that could actually help them get ahead.

Policies like this, even when wrapped in good intentions, can have unintended consequences that hit struggling families the hardest. We owe it to one another to do better … to focus on real solutions that lift people up instead of making the climb even steeper.

I’m committed to helping my employee get the reliable ride she needs so she can thrive at work and support her family. However, I can’t do all the heavy lifting alone … If anyone knows of effective programs, nonprofits, or local resources (especially here in Michigan) that assist single parents or working families with vehicles, repairs, or transportation aid—like Cars For Moms, Michigan 2-1-1, or similar groups—please share them below! We all need to get in the game and help people where our broken profit centered … transactional society has failed.

Let’s crowdsource some caring solutions and break these cycles together.

Strategic analysis in the midst of the extreme opinions of players for profit….

Straights of Hormuz

This is actually hilarious. Trump wants free and safe passage of ships through the strait. Instead of going straight to that, he wants to end up at that point, so nobody has “ownership” or can charge fees to transit it. So instead of going straight to that, he says, yes to a joint venture in charging a per ship fee first to get the entire world on board with opposing any fee or any “ownership” of the strait. Maybe countries are already getting ready to file lawsuits against Trump and Iran based on this threat. Then some international body says no you can’t do that because it’s an international waterway and as such no one can claim sovereignty, nor charge for passage. This way Trump will end up where he originally wanted to be AND have an international “judgement” or precedent set so that Chyna or anyone else can’t claim the same in another part of the world, like in the Taiwan strait or any other natural body of water. Going this route he gets an international precedent set and what he wanted.

H/T Enjoy the Show

Politics is a world of lies … mask wearers. It makes me wonder if that’s why they tried to force masks on us. Misery loves company.

Politics often feels like a scripted show, an endless marketing campaign where outrage, loyalty, and donations are the products, and actual governance or truth is the nonexistent.

The Truman Show analogy … we can relate to …. is layers of narrative, curated drama, and the quiet suspicion that the “real” decisions happen off-stage while we’re fed the illusion of participation. Every faction spins, every sub-group has its narratives, and the incentives … clicks, votes, funds, status … reward exaggeration, omission, and tribal signaling far more than boring old consistency or solutions.

Outcomes? Gridlock, continuity of the establishment class, and the same problems repackaged for the next cycle. It’s exhausting because it’s designed to be engaging, not to fix anything.

Breaking us of having to feel like we’re “in the know” cuts to something deeper. There’s a real psychological trap in modern information environments … the dopamine hit of being “in the know” … decoding the latest leak, spotting the hypocrisy, following the thread on X or wherever … feels like we are validating our existence.

But if the underlying game is mostly theater … chasing that “insider feeling” can just bind us tighter to the lies. It keeps emotional investment high even when tangible change is low. Ironically, desiring escape from that isn’t weakness … ironically it’s a somewhat sane response to an environment engineered for addiction over clarity.

Part of what we’re living through … polarization, institutional distrust, endless scandals … does force a kind of reckoning. People are burning out on the outrage cycle, questioning sources they’d once trusted, noticing how “both sides” narratives serve the game more than serving those they promised to serve. The process erodes the naive faith that any one team, expert class, or narrative has a monopoly on providing answers.

That disillusionment hurts because humans crave belonging, certainty, and a sense of moral clarity in the chaos … but it’s necessary for change.

The answer to finding truth in chaos is seeking God’s wisdom and cultivating sharper discernment … manipulative emotions aside.

Ask: Does this claim hold if I strip the framing? What incentives does the messenger have? What evidence would falsify it? What actually changed last time this script ran? Prioritize observable patterns over fake promises … results over rhetoric, consistency over charisma. And above all spiritual guidance from God.

Directing attention to verifiable facts and unglamorous problem-solving starves the machine.

History shows these cycles of elite overreach and public fatigue do shift eventually when enough people stop feeding the script. Opting out of the need to feel perpetually informed can free up energy for what actually counts … God, prayer, relationships, skills, and sharp observation which enables better decision making rather than “shooting up” on the narrative addiction.

Rest well tonight …God has this!

“There are many dedicated people in government who could leave TOMORROW
and earn tens—if not hundreds—of thousands of dollars a MONTH as so-called
"influencers" on social media, but they chose to serve the AMERICAN PEOPLE instead, all while the so-called "influencers" talk shit all day long and get paid BIG MONEY for clicks and impressions. We see you 👀!”
-Dan Scavino

Coming from Dan Scavino … this has huge importance. They see every true patriot who has had the stress and sacrifice of this battle … serving NOT for money … but for the belief in something we were willing to give everything we have for.

Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field. Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls: Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.
Matthew 13:44-46

The Parable of the Hidden Treasure and the Parable of the Pearl of Great Price (often called the “pearl in the field” or paired with the field treasure).

These two short parables appear right next to each other in the Gospel of Matthew and emphasize the supreme value of the kingdom of heaven, worth giving up everything to obtain.
Matthew 13:44-46 (NIV)
The Parable of the Hidden Treasure “The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field.”
The Parable of the Pearl “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it.”

Meaning and Connection to Total Surrender
These parables illustrate the same core truth as the verses about giving everything for God: the kingdom of heaven (God’s rule and reign, eternal life with Christ) is of infinite worth.
The man stumbles upon hidden treasure and joyfully sells all he owns to buy the field.
The merchant, actively searching, finds one priceless pearl and sells everything to acquire it.

Both show radical, joyful sacrifice … nothing is held back because the prize is greater than all else combined. This ties directly to Jesus’ call in passages like Matthew 16:24-25 (denying self and taking up the cross) and the rich young ruler in Matthew 19:21 (sell what you have and follow Me).
Many interpreters see these as pictures of how a person responds when they truly discover the gospel … everything else becomes secondary in light of knowing Christ. Others note the joy that motivates the total “all in.”

Surrendering everything to God, beautifully is evidence! Such giving isn’t burdensome … it’s driven by overwhelming joy and value. It’s love in action for God.

Coming up on tax day

Question…

What’s your feeling on paying taxes after everything that has been exposed ??

Just wondering if everyone is sick of taking a tax extortion beating??

Outcomes … Learing centers? Funding an invasion? The list is long. We get poorer every year …

Just want to test your temperature on this subject…
