Enfants de Dieu

ENFANTS DE DIEU

Let me begin this essay by asking questions of the reader. Of the following groups in our society, which of the following would you think were most likely to be happy with their lives; happy with who they are; happy with their appearance; their love for family, siblings; and their ability to make new friends? Your choices of groups are lottery jackpot winners; teenagers; successful single adults 21-35; couples with one child only; church going couples with more than three...

Pray for us--or else!. Dmitry Anatolyevich Medvedev.

PRAY FOR US–OR ELSE!

Last Sunday, Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev tweeted (or is it now called “X’d?”) that Russia’s enemies had better pray Russian forces in Ukraine were successful in winning the war, else Russia would have no choice but to go nuclear under current Russian doctrine. He was speaking in particular about Ukraine pushing Russia out of what Medvedev calls “our land.” Medvedev did not say what land he considers Russian land. More than likely, he meant the Crimea. But...

The Greatest RINO of all

THE GREATEST RINO OF ALL

For much of the past eight years, Donald J. Trump has claimed that his political enemies (basically any republican who disagrees with him and refuses to pay homage to him) are nothing more than RINO’s (Republicans in Name Only.) However, it should be clear that he, himself, is the greated RINO of all! Consider this: The Republican Party has been hijacked and has morphed into a personality cult focused on a six-time debtor (the term for someone who has filed...

Sumer UAP, UFO Hearings Held

SUMMER UAP, UFO HEARINGS HELD

Graves, Fravor and Grusch make compelling witnesses The Summer UAP, UFO hearings were held today. I had been thinking earlier about the witness list. They have only three presenters: I think the first two witnesses have testified in the past. David Grusch has the more recent and more explosive testimony. I’m a bit disappointed though, because while these are all reputable eye witnesses, what I think is needed is someone who has actually worked on alien technology, has names of...

Is Poland next? What is Putin thinking?

IS POLAND NEXT? WHAT IS PUTIN THINKING?

Poland is getting very, very nervous. They’ve never gotten along with Belarus, and now thousands of troublemaking soldiers of fortune and convicts (e.g., violent criminal offenders) that comprise the Wagner Private Military Company (PMC) are arriving in Belarus within short striking distance of Polish territory. Plus, Russian President Vladimir Putin is threatening to attack Poland if hostilities break out between Poland and Belarus. So, in order to be prepared to defend its border, Poland is understandably moving forces eastward toward...

While you were sleeping

WHILE YOU WERE SLEEPING

Eight days ago at 10:11 a.m. GMT, an asteroid the size of a twenty-story building passed very close to our planet. Six days ago astronomers first learned about it. Most people in the U.S. were asleep as it silently zipped by. It happened while you were sleeping. This asteroid, named belatedly 2023 NT1 was roughly 200-foot-wide (60 meters) and it was freakingly close to colliding with Earth at an estimated 53,000 mph or 86,000 km/hr. The closest approach distance to...

A PLANET IN PERILE

Certainly many of the 8,048,881,700 people on the planet at the moment would agree that this summer has been uncomfortably hot. Welcome to a planet in perile. As I write this, it is 41 degrees Fahrenheit in Thule Greenland. Thule is 700 miles north of the Arctic Circle, just less than half the distance from the Arctic Circle to the North Pole. In Las Vegas, it is 103 degrees, with a high of 111 degrees predicted for today. In Beijing it...

Россия стоит перед новой угрозой

РОССИЯ СТАЛКИВАЕТСЯ С НОВОЙ УГРОЗОЙ

Россия стоит перед новой угрозой. Россия может оказаться на грани гражданской войны, поскольку Евгений Пригожин идет маршем на Ростов, российский город вблизи Украины, в котором проживает более 32 000 человек. [Пожалуйста, имейте в виду, что все эти новостные сообщения следует считать ненадежными, поскольку интенсивность этой истории растет с каждой минутой. Но я собрал их как можно лучше из газет, доступных в Интернете. Я не могу лично поручиться за все, что написано ниже”.] В конце пятницы западные СМИ сообщили о поисках...

Empty barrels make the most noise.

EMPTY BARRELS MAKE THE MOST NOISE

I grew up on a resort in the mountains, and we’d have a dozen barrel-sized trash cans filled with kitchen waste behind the dining hall building. There were always a few empty cans as well. We’d also be visited regularly by black bears in the middle of the night. When the bears tipped over the cans that were full, you would not be able to hear them because the contents of the can would muffle the sound. But when they...

Currents of war

THE CURRENTS OF WAR

One of my most popular posts, called “The Point of No Return,” speaks in depth about the currents of the Niagara River as one approaches the famous falls. Let me share a bit of information from that post: You cannot break free at this point. Many of us who have lived even moderately active lives have been in situations at the beach, in swollen creeks and tempestuous rivers, even if only low-lying areas in our town during rain drenched downpours...
