Veteran who served in Tim Walz's battalion addresses stolen valor accusations: 'Far darker than people think'​

“I’m speaking”.

Lol.

Please pray for a certain cook in a certain place to do no harm to anyone.

I won’t be giving any details, but of course the Lord knows all about it. Thank you for any prayers.

1 Enoch 1::

9 And behold! He cometh with ten thousands of His holy ones To execute judgment upon all, And to destroy all the ungodly: And to convict all flesh Of all the works of their ungodliness which they have ungodly committed, And of all the hard things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.

Jude 1:

14 It was also about these that Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied, saying, “Behold, the Lord comes with ten thousands of his holy ones, 15 to execute judgment on all and to convict all the ungodly of all their deeds of ungodliness that they have committed in such an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things that ungodly sinners have spoken against him.”

Did Jude quote from the Book of Enoch?

I think so. Jude's quotation bore a strong resemblance to 1 Enoch 1:9. Further, he attributed it to the name "Enoch", the 7th from Adam:

1. Adam
2. Seth
3. Enosh
4. Kenan
5. Mahalalel
6. Jared
7. Enoch.

Even so, the Book of Enoch should not be part of the canon. Yet, I do not reject all its contents outright. I weigh each piece on a case-by-case basis. 1 Enoch 1:9 is okay.

And to think the sweetheart deal almost went through.

How does a Christian explain Joshua 10 correctly? Did the earth stop moving, and how did that not shake the entire planet? Did Earth only slow down? What is the truthful way to explain this passage?

They have a big problem with muslims right now running around in gangs, beating uk citizens, making demands, terrorizing people and so on. And the prime minister is locking up anyone that is on social media saying they want the muslims and immigrants out.

If you go on Twitter and just search "uk Muslim" you'll find countless videos from the UK of pubs barracading their doors, people being beat, gangs of muslims carrying machetes, police officers advising muslims to hide weapons at mosques so they cant be searched and more.

Here even see official press briefings starting with a Muslim greeting.


And this police briefing looks like a hostage video.

This will finish him.

Hello, I would enjoy hearing and discussing the conclusions of macro-evolutionists and theistic evolutionists as well as the corresponding methodologies they utilize when observing the universe and how they come to their results.

We tend to reflect more on the role of man as father than as husband. Rediscovering husbandry goes hand in hand with rediscovering fatherhood. But wait a moment, you immediately wonder; am I making a play on the word ‘husbandry?’ What am I talking about here?

Let’s be clear: the seeming ambiguity in the term is intrinsic to its usage in English. I suggest that rather than dismissing it, we ask what deeper truth is indicated in what might seem a linguistic quirk. Yet obviously many are not thinking this way. I just found this statement at vocabulary.com: “Husbandry has nothing to do with being a husband, and a lot to do with being a farmer.”

Well, there it is. We’ve removed being a ‘husband’ to a wife from our current usage of ‘husbandry,’ so now when we speak of ‘husbandry’ it’s only about agriculture, not marriage. There is more going on here than meets the eye. In reality what happened first went the other direction: we removed the rich art of ‘husbandry’ from what men do. And the result was and is that both are isolated and impoverished: agriculture lost the aspect of being about ‘husbanding’ the land for the sake of people; and being a married man lost the arts of caring for many concrete things, beginning in the home.

Wendell Berry has pointed this out.

Hello, my question is: what are your thoughts on marriage as a future goal? I’m seeking to achieve this one day

Hello folks. The political landscape has changed a lot over the past few years. Who was your first presidential vote once you guys have turned the legal voting age (lowered from 21 to 18 in 1971)?

Mine was Biden in 2020, back when I thought he would be a good choice to get us out of a pandemic. In 2024, looking at how the political landscape has changed in the past four years (from not as woke back in the 2010s to full-on woke in the mid-2020s), and the strange, far-left Olympics opening ceremony, it has made me want to vote 3rd party this year.

Has anything happened in the political sphere between your first presidential election and now that has made you all shift party lines, or go independent?

Good day,

This video is 58 minutes long. Right now, I am listening closely to it in order to find the timestamps for the quote from the OP article. I want to find the timestamps so that I can establish the context around what Trump said concerning Christians and voting.

Click to expand...

The context is that after his proposed four years of fixing what Trump views as ballot stuffing, fake ballots, fraud creeping into the voting system that even Obama warned about when he was asked about certain forms of mail-in-voting... he is claiming that this emergency call on all Christians to vote (instead of the normal - stay-at-home-because-politics-is-not-Christian) won't be needed again. Those Christians who wish to just stay out of it will be able to go back to doing what they were doing before (according to Trump).

And of course Trump would be out of position to run anymore at that point anyway.

So then - what the news almost never tells you ...

from: Trump Declines to Back Away From ‘You Don’t Have to Vote Again’ Line

Side note:

The Left wing media idea is "Republicans don't read" and "they can be fooled regarding what what was said" as if Republicans EVER had EVER heard from Trump that he wanted to end all elections (the way the left likes to spin that one).

How many times can the left dupe the public with that sort of "click bate" .. and the public still falls for it??

=================

LIB media spins this as a message to VOTING Christians - telling them voting wont be needed any more after He is in.

INSTEAD what it was in reality - is a message to NEVER-VOTE christians, telling them they can go back to their preferred position of NEVER VOTE after stepping up just this one time of emergency - all-hands-on-deck.

How many Lib media sources told you about the context??

how many corrected any of their wild claims?

Do you expect that to come out to the public in a big way anytime soon?

What do you think??

VP race: JD Vance, Tim Walz both say they want to debate each other​

Ohio Sen. JD Vance and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz may not agree on many issues, but both vice presidential candidates agreed on one thing Tuesday. They want to debate each other.

Vance, former President Donald Trump’s running mate, said he called Walz Tuesday to congratulate him on joining the Democratic ticket with Vice President Kamala Harris.

“I actually called Tim Walz. I left a voicemail,” Vance told reporters. “I didn’t get him, but I just said, ‘Look, congratulations, looking forward to robust conversation and enjoy the ride.’ And maybe he’ll call me back, maybe he won’t.”

During a campaign event in Philadelphia, just hours before Harris and Walz held their first joint rally there, Vance said he would debate Walz once he became the Democratic vice presidential nominee officially.

“I absolutely want to debate Tim Walz," Vance said.

At Tuesday night's rally in Philadelphia, Walz issued a debate challenge to Vance.

“Like all regular people I grew up with in the heartland, J.D. studied at Yale, had his career funded by Silicon Valley billionaires, and then wrote a bestseller trashing that community,” Walz said. "Come on! That's not what Middle America is."

“And I got to tell you, I can’t wait to debate the guy.”

I'm not a doomsday prepper. Heads up.

However, I feel moved now to begin getting ready for anything.

While I'm not a prepper I have food insecurity issues (personal) and really do have enough food for about a month and a half at all times.

I keep two weeks worth of regular groceries on hand as well as staple items like 20 pounds of rice, 20 pounds of beans and two large jars of peanut butter. (I can make my own bread and such and I keep a good amount of flour on hand etc as well)

I've been excellent with animal husbandry but fail miserably at gardening. If it doesn't grow wild in my area I can't get it to grow...

I gave up on gardening as a result many years ago and the last two years my husband is trying but his green thumb is about like mine, non-existent thus far.

we have propane heat and there's enough in the tank to get us through a year...

What do you suggest I might need to think about.

I'm disabled so being in good enough shape to do things like get up to the spring for water I figure is priority #1.

Priority two is probably try and do things like build a hog pen and a chicken coop for the yard.

Should I try keeping more food?

What am I not thinking about?

26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,
27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.
28 He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:
29 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?
30 For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people.
31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

‘Patently Anti-Religious’: Tim Walz Has History Of Restricting Faith-Based Institutions​

Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz has faced multiple lawsuits for allegedly infringing on religious liberty during his time as Minnesota governor.

Walz encountered legal challenges for lockdown policies that religious organizations argued were discriminatory, placing stricter requirements on churches than businesses. He also encountered pushback after signing a law that stripped faith-based schools of funding for a program that offers free college credits to high school students.

Walz determined in a May 13, 2020, executive order that retailers would be allowed to reopen at 50% capacity, but left religious gatherings capped at ten people. After Catholic and Lutheran churches in the state announced plans to resume meeting in-person regardless of the governor’s order, he negotiated to allow religious groups to operate at 25% capacity, according to the Star Tribune.

Two churches nevertheless moved forward with their lawsuit over discriminatory treatment. Walz settled in May 2021 after the state’s motion to dismiss was denied, agreeing to treat religious gatherings the same as “the least restricted secular business regulated by the order.”

Three churches backed by the Thomas More Society also filed a lawsuit in August 2020 arguing Walz violated their religious liberties by mandating masks, limiting capacity and requiring social distancing.

“Governor Walz, a former teacher, gets an F in religious liberties,” Thomas More Society special counsel Erick Kaardal said in a press release at the time.

The Minnesota Supreme Court upheld in May Walz’s declaration of a peacetime emergency in response to COVID-19, according to the Upper Midwest Law Center.

Becket senior counsel Diana Thomson called the state’s decision to exclude faith-based schools “patently anti-religious.”

Walz emerged from the most accelerated vice presidential search in modern history from a shortlist that included half a dozen Democrats, including Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro and Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly. The vice president held in-person interviews with Walz, Shapiro and Kelly on Sunday.

While Harris and Walz did not enjoy much of a previous relationship, aides said Harris grew increasingly enthused by how Walz genuinely carried himself and found a warm chemistry with him during a final meeting Sunday at her residence at the Naval Observatory. Harris was impressed “by his authenticity,” a person close to the process told CNN.


Granted, none of us are in the DNC strategy meetings that go on behind closed doors, but I question whether or not this is the right move, strategically.

It seems like the areas where Harris is going to have the biggest uphill challenge is in purple state voters, rural voters, and among independent voters. Picking a running mate that's equally unpopular among those groups (or that a large number of people just haven't heard of) doesn't seem like the best move IMO.

Picking a guy who's popular in a very blue state (so blue, that they were literally the only one who didn't vote for Reagan, even California did that year)


...seems less advantageous that going with someone like Shapiro.

Although, I think the best choice would've been Andy Beshear

...who was voted one of the most popular Democratic governors in the country, and is able to carry a 60%+ approval rating in the red state of Kentucky (indicating at least some measure of being able to connect with rural conservative-leaning voters)

And this little bit certainly is worth noting:

Is tied with Hawaii Gov. Josh Green as the most popular Democratic governor among voters who also supported former president Donald Trump in 2020, with 41% approving of his job performance Is the most popular Democratic governor among 2020 voters who backed President Joe Biden, with 93% approval


It seems like Andy Beshear would've checked all of the boxes a Democratic candidate looking to take on the GOP could've hoped for.
93% approval among Biden voters
41% approval among Trump voters (which is about as good as you're going to get for a Democratic governor among Trump voters)
60%+ favorability in a quite red state


Did Kamala bet on the wrong horse here? Or am I just missing something?
