It is obvious that the Donald will win in 2024, whether Biden remains as the candidate or whether the Democrats find a replacement. So what can we expect to happen in the subsequent four years?

1. T will abandon Ukraine to the tender mercies of Russia
2. T will remove the US from NATO. The result: Putin will invade Europe, and we we will have WWIII
3. The national debt will increase by another 10 trillion.
4. There will be even more consolidation among the mega-corporations. Microsoft will buy Yahoo, and Google will merge with Amazon. There will be no response from the DOJ.
5. The US Gini index will top 0.5.
6. Global average temperature will be 2.5 degrees about the pre-industrial level.
7. The US will become a Christian nation.

US, British militaries launch massive retaliatory strike against Iranian-backed Houthis in Yemen

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. and British militaries bombed more than a dozen sites used by the Iranian-backed Houthis in Yemen on Thursday, in a massive retaliatory strike using warship- and submarine-launched Tomahawk missiles and fighter jets, U.S. officials said. The military targets included logistical hubs, air defense systems and weapons storage and launching locations, they said.

President Joe Biden said the strikes were meant to demonstrate that the U.S. and its allies “will not tolerate” the militant group’s ceaseless attacks on the Red Sea. And he said they only made the move after attempts at diplomatic negotiations and careful deliberation.

“These strikes are in direct response to unprecedented Houthi attacks against international maritime vessels in the Red Sea — including the use of anti-ship ballistic missiles for the first time in history,” Biden said in a statement. He noted the attacks endangered U.S. personnel, civilian mariners and jeopardized trade, and he added, “I will not hesitate to direct further measures to protect our people and the free flow of international commerce as necessary.”

Mexico says the US must end the Cuba blockade and cut Venezuela sanctions

Mexican President Andrés Manuel Lopez Obrador issued a lengthy series of demands detailing what the U.S. must offer in exchange for Mexico's help in stemming the flow of migrants to the U.S.-Mexico border.

Lopez Obrador's demands came during a Friday press conference, which came roughly a week after he met with Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and Secretary of State Antony Blinken in Mexico City in late December. The U.S. officials requested that Mexico boost its assistance in stopping i*****l i*********n.

Lopez Obrador responded by demanding the U.S. give $20 billion to Latin American and Caribbean countries, grant work visas to 10 million Hispanics who have worked in the U.S. for at least 10 years, end sanctions against Venezuela and halt the blockade of Cuba.

The negotiations come at a critical time for President Biden, whose polling numbers on i*****l i*********n have been low throughout his presidency. The U.S. also suffered a surge of migrants at the border this fall, with roughly 240,000 monthly migrant encounters at the border in late 2023.

Mexican President Lopez Obrador issued a lengthy series of demands during a Friday press conference detailing what the U.S. must offer in exchange for Mexico's help in stemming the flow of migrants to the U.S.-Mexico border.
A senior Biden administration official responded to those demands in a statement to NBC News, saying Lopez Obrador "has a very ambitious agenda. For some of these things, we would need Congress to act. We share the vision that we need to lift up the region."

Lopez Obrador has proven more than willing to challenge U.S. politicians on immigration issues. He picked a fight with Texas Gov. Greg Abbott over one of that state's new i*********n l*ws last month.

The new legislation allows law enforcement to arrest i*****l i*******ts who would then face the choice to leave the U.S. or be prosecuted on misdemeanor charges for illegal entry. Migrants who do not comply could face arrest again and more serious felony charges. Abbott said the bill aims to stop a "tidal wave" of i*****l i*********n.

"The Texas governor acts that way because he wants to be the Republican vice p**********l candidate and wants to win popularity with these measures," Lopez Obrador said in late December. "He’s not going to win anything. On the contrary, he is going to lose support because there are a lot of Mexicans in Texas, a lot of migrants."

The Mexican Foreign Ministry also previously filed a complaint against Texas over the construction of buoys set up by the state in the Rio Grande. It had also sought to link the deaths of two migrants in the river to the buoys.

In July, Lopez Obrador urged Hispanics not to v**e for Abbott in response to the buoys.

"We don't have to do much, just tell our compatriots not to v**e for the governor of Texas or for lawmakers of the Republican Party who support these measures," he said at the time.

Biden's DHS Set to Give I*****l A***ns Photo ID Cards for 'Access to Commonly Used Services'
https://www.westernjournal.com/bidens-dhs-set-give-illegal-aliens-photo-cards-access-commonly-used-services/?ff_source=Email&ff_medium=WJBreaking&ff_campaign=breaking&ff_content=western-journal

The deal for America’s surging population of i*****l i*******ts just keeps getting sweeter.

Buried in Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s latest annual report, released Friday, was confirmation that i*****l i*******ts will soon be provided with an ID card that will give them access to a variety of services.

“The ICE Secure Docket Card (SDC) project … offers a uniform, durable card provided to noncitizens upon release, and facilitates reliable access to commonly lost or damaged immigration-related paperwork,” the report details.

The report goes on to explain that the card will “allow noncitizens access to commonly used documents and services.”

CNN reported that the card can be used as a form of identification and, according to an unnamed Department of Homeland Security official, “could also be utilized at airports for travel in the future.”

An ICE official said in a statement that the SDC is “part of a pilot program to modernize various forms of documentation provided to provisionally released noncitizens through a consistent, verifiable, secure card.”

“The secure card will contain a photo, biographic identifiers, and cutting-edge security features to the mutual benefit of the government and noncitizens,” the statement said.

“Specifics of the program are still under development, but a primary goal of the SDC is to improve current, inconsistent paper forms that often degrade rapidly in real world use.”

The statement added that ICE will “consider further expansion” of the program pending the outcome of the initial effort.

A House Appropriations Committee report last year noted that the SDC program would receive $10 million in funding as part of the 2023 DHS appropriations bill.

John Fabbricatore, a former ICE official and advisory board member at the National Immigration Center for Enforcement, criticized the program.

Do you support ID cards for i*****l i*******ts?
Yes: 3% (21 V**es)
No: 97% (772 V**es)
“It’s a normalization of i*****l i*********n,” Fabbricatore told Breitbart, adding that “the ultimate goal of the Biden administration is to limit i*****l a***ns’ face-to-face contact with DHS as much as possible.”

According to Customs and Border Protection data, there were 3.2 million border encounters in fiscal year 2023, including nearly 2.5 million at the southern border, the highest yearly total in U.S. history.

The surge doesn’t look to be slowing down, as the southern border saw record numbers of daily crossings this month.

With slo corrupted joe being in prison when Trump wins the 2024 Presidency, the big question will be, "Should President Trump pardon slo corrupted pedo Joe when Trump takes office in January, 2024??" I say no, let corrupted, anti-American, pro sexual perversion slo joe languish in prison like the current so-called r****rs are having to endure for no good reason while never being charged with i**********n. Now slo joe, on the other hand, has committed treason and a real i**********n by letting millions of i*****l i*******ts into our country with zero vetting while not protecting the citizens of our own country. I say let slo joe live out the rest of his miserable life in prison with no chance of parole. What do all of you think??

Foundations of T***h are Prerequisite to Understanding the Times and Seasons
https://newswithviews.com/foundations-of-t***h-are-prerequisite-to-understanding-the-times-and-seasons/

By Ms. Smallback

December 30, 2023

Some years ago I was asked to teach a high school Sunday School class. I had just recently started attending that church and knew very few people. I had recently done my own study of John the Baptist and found it fascinating. As I was talking with God about what to teach, I said to Him, “I’ll teach them about what I’ve learned about John the Baptist!” I immediately saw (in my mind’s eye) a large structure like a pavilion with a large load of snow on top and I heard the Lord say, “No. The weight of that teaching is too heavy. It will collapse.” Then I saw the pavilion collapse.

I didn’t really understand why He was telling me that so I argued with Him about how great a teaching I thought that would be because they’re the future generation, and there are so many parallels to John the Baptist and those awaiting Christ’s return in present generations. He told me again the weight of that teaching would collapse the structure, and that I must first lay a foundation. He said the kids didn’t have a foundation under them to carry such a weight. I argued again (sigh), and He said, “Okay, ask them.”

So that Sunday I asked the high school aged kids who built the ark, who was considered the patriarch of the faith, who was sold by his brothers into s***ery, who was Nicodemus, and a number of other basic tenets of Christianity including who was John the Baptist. To my great shock and surprise, they maybe answered ten percent of those questions correctly. I was truly surprised. Most of those kids had been raised in Christian homes and spent considerable time in the church.

I then backed out. I got a piece of butcher block paper and hung it on the wall, and we started from the beginning. We started in the Garden and moved through the chronological history of the basics of the faith. It took us months to get to the birth of Christ.

What an apt description of America today. We have a majority of the population with no solid foundation of anything of real importance really. They don’t understand the premise of the Revolutionary War, the function of government, the threat of tyranny, or any other number of things that establish a plumb line for t***h. They think freedom and hedonism are synonymous, and they disregard the personal responsibility of human conduct.

They are s***es of emotions and the whim of popular opinion. They lack conviction connected to t***h and righteousness, and instead rage against standards of righteousness and t***h with no understanding of WHY such standards have existed for millennia. They are easily deceived, easily ensnared in folly, and pawns of a regime and system intent on using and discarding them for the sake of the system being set up.

The intricacies of the current system we’re entrenched in are nearly impossible to teach on or elaborate upon with the lack of foundation under the status quo. How do you expound upon the perils of t***s-humanism to a generation raised by video games and virtual reality? They think it’s just another step to an exciting superhero mentality. They have no foundation under them for understanding the profound greatness of our humanity in its creation. They’ve been programmed to despise the frailties of humanity and the design of its Creator.

I haven’t decided if we’re in the era of 1984, Brave New World, or Atlas Shrugged. But it feels to me like a combination of all of them. Do you remember George Orwell’s last recorded interview? He described the future as a “boot stamping on a human face forever”. When asked what he would advise future generations, he simply said, “Don’t let it happen.”

And yet here we are.

At the same time as I lament the lack of foundation of t***h and understanding of the status quo, I remember that scene in The Princess Bride where Wesley has been mostly dead (from the torture machine), and was brought out of it and they needed to rescue the Princess. When he wanted to be brought up to speed on the current setting, he was told, “Let me explain. No, there is too much; let me sum up.” I feel as though we are perpetually under time restraints, where we must sum up because explanations are too long. Presently the need for action is imminent but there is not enough time to bring people to a fuller understanding.

Regardless, we must try.

When I first fell in love with God, felt the enormity of His goodness, His love, His salvation, I wanted to know Him but didn’t know where to start. A wise woman bought me a yearly Bible (a Bible divided into 365 readings to read it through in a year). She told me to just read it. Just read it. So I did.

I didn’t realize in that year what I was reading. Much of it I had no context for, no real understanding. But it was a starting point. It laid a foundation of sorts that could be built upon. I would go on to read the Bible completely through several more times. Each time there was more I understood. If I read it through again in 2024, I will learn even more. There is no end to the knowledge contained in its pages.

Recently a dear friend reminded me of this passage in Daniel 2….

“He gives wisdom to the wise, and knowledge to those who have understanding….”

And it reminds me of when Christ gave the parable of the talents and he says, “For to everyone who has, more shall be given and he will have an abundance; but from the one who does not have, even what he does not have shall be taken away.”

So I guess the point I’m trying to make is we must make effort to understand the foundations, to build upon the solid foundations. There are things in our world that don’t make sense without a foundation of knowledge, understanding, wisdom. I don’t think it’s too late (though I do think time is running out) to learn the ancient paths, to seek knowledge and wisdom, to put beneath us foundations we can build upon, and foundations that enable us to discern fallacies and deceptions.

You don’t understand calculus without learning basic arithmetic. You can’t comprehend literary classics without grasping language concepts. You can’t foresee economical crisis without understanding basic economic concepts. You can’t discern propaganda without knowledge of political agendas. The list goes on and on. The sleeping world would not have been bamboozled into poisonous medical injections had they understood basic (real) science and biology, and they would have rejected the propaganda had they learned of the pharmaceutical mafia and its agenda. Imagine how many other dangers and ills that could be thwarted if we would just seek foundational knowledge and t***hs.

I didn’t understand “c****-**” when it first came out, but my discernment indicated it was not as it appeared. I spent untold of hours trying to bring myself up to speed on all sorts of things like v***ses, contagions (and what that even means), past historical examples, etc. I didn’t have a foundation yet to make a decision on whether to comply with the public narrative, so I suspended judgment and action until I had time to gain a foundation of t***h. There were others who already had such a foundation which enabled them to make quick decisions.

I had to find sources of t***h that were foundational and not sensational. I had to pray a lot that God lead me to t***h, and I had to silence the loud voices of fear and manipulation. There’s a process to laying a foundation. There’s a slow, steady process of laying layer upon layer, line upon line, precept upon precept. Then there’s the quik-crete process of crash studying, little sleep, disallowing distractions, focused and intent learning in a short span of time, etc. C****-** was a crash course for me. Other things I don’t have to “study” for because I already have a foundation for that has been laid over longer periods of time and testing.

The point is to lay solid foundations, whether through a time enhanced process, or a quicker crash course. Reject the spoon-fed answers and seek the paths of t***h that lead to understanding and ultimately, wisdom. We cannot possibly learn all we need to know in the limited time and resources we have on earth, but we can still be set on the right paths.

A new year is upon us. Maybe it’s a good time to lay down the superfluous activities of the current systems that are trying to create dystopic futures, and instead use the talents given us to invest in lasting investments of knowledge that lead to understanding, which ultimately leads to wisdom. There’s a very exciting future in front of us where indeed the purposes of God are made manifest in the face of the deceptive darkness trying to project its agendum.

I’m going to write about some things in the coming days that are easier to understand with some foundational t***hs. I pray they will be laid upon foundations of t***h that can bear the weight. This is not to imply I have some superior knowledge; it’s just to elucidate wisdom and understanding are usually found within the foundations laid by t***h. In the meantime, may you seek the Living God and His t***h before all else. In many ways, it is the most exciting time to be alive on earth.

I am a Catholic . We do not worship the saints . I have friends who say they pray to different saints in case God is busy .--lol to each their own--What does it hurt ? I hear all the time we worship Mary . Mary is important to us. We look at her as our mother--God is our father --We ask her to pray for us --you know talk to God as we would ask our mom to talk to our Dad . God is still God above us all . Let's just say he has helpers . Each of us are helpers when we feed the hungry -tend to the sick -show mercy to the contrite . There is only One God and there are no lesser children of God . Protestant or Catholic we all belong to him .
