Minnesota is drowning in fraud.

I was referring to the article that I posted which you quoted. I am also referring to the article which said 500 Minnesota government workers are whistleblowers about the billions dollars fraud committed by Somalians in Minnesota.
No one is denying fraud was taking place. What is not proved is the money was being directed to some movement.

Charlie Kirk Didn’t Shy Away From Who He Was. We Shouldn’t, Either

I hope they keep Candace Owens out of TPUSA.

Not welcoming her back, to be sure​

Turning Point challenges Candace Owens to live debate on Charlie Kirk murder theories

Officials at Turning Point USA invited MAGA influencer Candace Owens to participate in a live-streamed event debunking her conspiracy theories about the murder of the group's founder, Charlie Kirk.

Charlie Kirk Show producer Blake Neff read a lengthy statement on Wednesday after Owens accused Turning Point leadership of betrayingtheir former boss.

"Ever since Charlie's murder, Candace Owens has leveled a flood of allegations against people at Turning Point USA," Neff said.

Neff suggested Owens made the claims so she could "manipulate and string along an audience of people who don't realize they are being played."

"I would say we have suffered more harassment from these people than we have from antifa supporters who overtly celebrate Charlie's murder," he asserted. "What our friends have had to endure is not funny, and it's not insignificant. It is evil. I have seen it."

Special Counsel Report Says Trump Would Have Been Convicted in Election Case

THE BOSS HAS SPOKEN

Trump Urges Judge Aileen Cannon to Keep Jack Smith Report Secret

On Tuesday, Trump argued in a court filing that Smith’s report should never be made public, in what would be a deviation from previous practice, Politico reported.

The president urged Cannon, whom he nominated to the bench, “to extend her 11-month-old order blocking the Justice Department from releasing the full report, which Smith submitted shortly before Trump’s second inauguration.”

“Trump’s request is a break from the Justice Department’s handling of all special counsel reports in recent decades,” Politico added. “Typically, those reports are provided to Congress and made public, even when they have included damaging findings about the incumbent administration.”
Another norm gently euthanized to protect Someone-in-Chief?

How exactly is it a mockery of Christ?
and
Yes. It requires a huge stretch of the imagination to think that because there are 33 sectors on the UN symbol, and Jesus was 33 years old when He was crucified, that must somehow mean that the UN is mocking Christ.
and
It's only copying if whoever designed the UN logo thought to themselves, "Ah! Jesus was 33 years old when He was crucified, so I'll make 33 the number of segments on my logo." Surely you are not saying that the number 33 cannot be used because Jesus died when He was 33.
and
I’m not into conspiracy theories, even if many turn out to be true. However, if you like such things, the 33 sectors would be most likely connected to the 33 degrees of the Scottish Rite of Freemasons.
and
Just wondering - is it known whether the designer of the UN logo was a Freemason?
and
It was Oliver Lincoln Lundquist, but I couldn’t find any information that he was a Freemason. His gravestone does not have the symbol on it. The connection to Freemasons is just speculative.
...Linquist was CIA and much more -->
Origin of the Emblem & The OSS Architects Who Designed the UN Logo

I thought it was better than the idea that Jesus was 33 years old. However, the number 33 represents spiritual growth and wisdom in the Enlightenment from the Kabbalah, which could be connected with Freemasons.
Yeah, so the perp's (perpetrators) never waste an opportunity to give obeisance to their master Satan. And numerology looms large in their occult religion. Numerology goes much deeper than what has been touched on here.

In occult circles, this 33-section map reveal is known as "Revelation of the Method", where the perp's believe they are absolved of any responsibility for their criminality because they told us or showed us ahead of time and we did nothing about it. That, of course, is yet another lie, but they believe it to be valid and thus proceed accordingly.

As per the OP, suffice to say that the number 33 is occultically significant to the design of the UN logo.

For the soul of Matt M

As a guy who's lost waaayyy too many friends to cancer generally and colon cancer specifically.

Get a colonoscopy. Yes, it's a little invasive, and the prep is no fun BUT...

...it's way less invasive and way less work than, you know, actual cancer treatment.

Just do it.


And, sorry for your loss Riles.

Trump dispenses with trials, orders military strike on alleged Venezuelan drug-trafficking boat (Now up to 2, 3, 4...)

Would a "double tap" in regards to an aerial strike be considered illegal, if the enemy personnel were attempting to salvage the illegal cargo after the first strike, with no first responders in sight?
Is that what the enemy personnel were doing? I haven't seen that video.

Rome’s Failure to Correct Germany’s Bishops has Emboldened Their Pro-LGBT Agenda

A possible schism is always a crisis. That would be my main concern for the salvation of souls.
Riles:

Who's schisming ?

Seriously, The Pope is in disagreement (best word I can come up with right now) with the Germans on a (relatively) minor theological issue.

There seem to be some people sort of on the side lines who WANT the pope to make a bigger issue out of this but the parties involved don't seem all that up in arms about it.

Am I missing something ?

‘If we ever had a leak of this chat we would be cooked’: 7 months of shocking private messages among rising GOP leaders

The Young Republicans have found the best way to help this whole thing blow over.

Young Republicans chapter plans to host far-right German leader after ‘I love Hitler’ chat

A New York City-based Republican club will honor a far-right German leader at its annual gala — just eight weeks after its statewide counterpart was disbanded over a group chat in which members praised Adolf Hitler.

The city-based New York Young Republican Club’s gala will recognize Markus Frohnmaier, a political leader from the Alternative for Germany party.

Months before his visit, the club appeared to play up the party’s controversial place in German politics. In August, it published a statement calling for a “new civic order” in Germany and declaring “AfD über alles,” an adaptation of a phrase associated with the Nazi party.

Germany’s Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution, the country’s domestic intelligence agency, has labeled the AfD extremist, alleging the party holds an ethnic, racial conception of the German people that violates core tenets of the country’s democratic order.

Frohnmaier, the deputy chair of AfD’s parliamentary group, will be an “honored guest” at the club’s Dec. 13 gala, which will also feature GOP Reps. Andy Ogles, Mike Collins and William Timmons, according to the group’s website.

“It’s deeply concerning that the New York Young Republican Club is planning to honor a regional co-chair of the far-right extremist AfD party at their upcoming gala,” Todd Gutnick, a spokesperson for the Anti-Defamation League, said in a statement. “The German AfD party has a disturbing history that includes antisemitic and xenophobic rhetoric. AfD has embraced the antisemitic ‘Great Replacement’ conspiracy, and its current leader, Alice Weidel, has denounced Germany’s dedication to Holocaust remembrance as a ‘guilt cult.’”

“AfD doesn’t only push in anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim ideas and policies, but they have used tactics straight from Germany’s Nazi-era — including antisemitic actions by its members and use of Nazi slogans,” Seth Levi, the [SPLC] chief strategy officer, said in a statement.

Frohnmaier also responded to POLITICO with a statement, saying, “I categorically reject the claim that we use antisemitic or xenophobic rhetoric.”

But the military is accountable for how they are attacked. They must be attacked within the legal framework of the Law of Armed Conflict that every military member has been taught.

Zions New Children

I quoted Daniel 12:10b..... only the wise leaders will understand.
The context is Daniel 12:8.....The Words are to be kept secret until the time of the end.
The words are unpacked in Revelation for anyone who bothers to understand Apocalyptic Symbolism.
Your fever dreams of 2010 mislead you about 2012 and the AOD in 2026.
Why should we believe anything you say?

Also, your rejection of a viable explanation of Zechariah 5,
NOTHING you say about the OT is 'viable' as you rip everything out of context and make it about now.

Remember - most of the OT prophecies are about THEIR times and THEIR concerns, not ours.
They build and build on this idea of the judgement in the Day of the Lord - as the Assyrians ride in to Israel, as the Babylonians ride into Judah, and as the Persians later ride across the entire Middle East - and grant Israel the right to return home. Prophecy fulfilled! And yet... there are a few passages that refer to more to come.

Most of them are fulfilled in Jesus gospel events in eschatological tension.

without any sensible alternative, is unreasonable and shows extreme bias, as well as just ignoring the present realty of the Middle East situation.
Oh, right? That conflict that you said "will not fizzle out." On and on you went - and that was one of your SHORTER posts!

What that will be, is told to us in the Prophetic Word:​
Bible prophecy informs us of what will happen when a combined force of the neighbouring countries attack. The Lord Himself will destroy them, as per Psalm 83 and Deuteronomy 32:22 & 34-35 - by a judgement of fire. “A fire set ablaze by My anger, on the Day of punishment and vengeance, at the moment My enemies make a mistake; their doom is fast approaching”.​

But rather than your futurist goggles on current affairs having all the Muslim countries join a coalition to fight Israel - guess what happened? Your futurist filters fluffed these affairs! There's a ceasefire. It DID 'fizzle out'. I'm not saying there's a lasting peace in the Middle East. I'm saying that THIS war DID fizzle out. You said it would not! You got all dogmatic, and did declareth -

"What that will be, is told to us in the Prophetic Word:"​


Except - wrong again. Fizzle. Oh - and rather than "combined force of the neighbouring countries attacking" - it is Militant Zionism that mainly continues the carnage - even in this 'peace.'

So now you have made false claims about 2012, how Gaza will not fizzle, AND the AOD 2026.
I hoped by now you would have learned?


As the FIRST comment on your Gaza thread of 2023 said:


And here we go again, another event happened, another "this is it" of futurism.​
I think people should pay real money for every prophetical prediction they make. If it fails, the money will be given to charity. If it happens, the money will be returned.​
Your success rate, so far, is zero. Its like saying "recession will come this year" every year until it happens, and then saying "I told you".​

What do I predict for 2026?​


I predict that unless the Lord returns before then (which he could, because there's nothing theologically required to happen since the gospel reached Rome aka "all nations" nearly 2000 years ago) - I predict that futurists will continue to misread the prophets, misread theology, and misread current affairs.

They will see their patterns, make their declarations, and utterly embarrass the Lord with their false predictions.

Some of them will even be more excited about their pet-theories about the anti-Christ, and will tell non-Christians more about the anti-Christ than they will about Jesus!

That's what I predict.

And given the above examples of how futurism fluffs thinking, I'm pretty sure I'll be proved right.

Unless the Lord returns in the next 5 seconds.
Which he could.

Trump promises $2000 tariff dividend to all Americans

President Donald Trump is still talking about his plan to give Americans a tariff dividend refund in 2026.

Trump discussed the potential checks in a two-hour-plus Cabinet meetingon Dec. 2, during which he also called the "affordability" issue a "Democrat scam," and appeared to nod off.

"Next year is projected to be the largest tax refund season ever, and we're going to be giving back refunds out of the tariffs, as we have taken in literally trillions of dollars," -- [this is literally not true] -- Trump said early in the meeting. "We're going to be giving a nice dividend to the people in addition to reducing debt."

The nonpartisan, not-for-profit The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget estimates Trump's tariffs will raise about $300 billion per year, while tariff dividends would cost about $600 billion per round

Trump to pardon Ex-Honduras President Guilty of Drug Trafficking and conspiring to import cocaine into the United States

When an action cannot be justified, yet a courageous individual steps up to defend it, that person may be mistaken—entirely in error for trying to support what cannot be defended. Nonetheless, their bravery and willingness to stand apart from the crowd to champion the indefensible should be acknowledged as a form of chivalry.

That's a kind of wisdom that I cannot disagree with.

The Big Beautiful Bill shall became Law

Trump aides plan megabill marketing reboot for GOP lawmakers

A Wednesday briefing will urge a focus on "working families" after the president questioned his "big, beautiful" branding.

GOP frustrations grow over lackluster ‘big, beautiful bill’ sales pitch

Talk about the massive tax package largely evaporated after Labor Day amid high-stakes fights over releasing documents related to Jeffrey Epstein and the 43-day government shutdown. Yet even before those controversies, polls showed the GOP legislation was unpopular.

This has frustrated lawmakers who say the party needs to do more to sell its signature accomplishment, especially as Democrats hammer them on the issue of affordability.

Complicating the picture for the GOP is a sluggish economic backdrop, headlined by inflation that has ticked upward and tariffs that have contributed to higher prices.

Trump labeled the Democratic affordability chatter a “con job” Tuesday, even as his approval rating slips amid voter concerns about his handling of the economy.

“It’s way too [doggone] expensive to live in this country right now,” one GOP operative said. “We need to be seen as at least caring about that.”

House Republicans are staring down warning signs that their slim majority could be in peril next year, especially after the party won Tuesday’s House special election in Tennessee by single digits in a district President Trump carried by more than 20 points last year.

Another headache for the GOP and its sales pitch is Trump, who has not talked about the tax bill as much as some in the party would like and has largely eschewed political rallies in key states that previously have been one of his hallmarks.

[Well, he has his hands full lobbying for the Nobel Peace Prize and choosing the gold fixtures for the ballroom.]
