The Classical Saturday Coffee Break & Prayer Revival

IMG_2155.JPG

[Yes Tommy, pray for Mis. Hum.]


Good morning boys and girls and everything in between. What a trying week it has been. Before we enter the Prayer Revival just a few housekeeping matters to take care of. (Rulz for those of you in Whitefish Bay)

1) This is an open thread. Feel free to lurk, opine and/or bloviate within the AoSHQ guidelines.
2) Be kind, be nice.
3) No running with sharp objects.
4) Have a great weekend.

*****

I received the following prayer from a friend who I attended church with. I thought I would share with you before our regular Prayer Revival.


Lord, thank you for our relationship. Without you and your wisdom I would be lost. You have provided for me and my family again and again. You have protected me, comforted me, and have given me strength when I was tired and weak. Thank you.

I'm scared, Lord, and I don't know what to do. Evil seems to be everywhere and on everyone's minds. You tell me to forgive, but I'm finding it hard to. You tell me to love my enemy, but I'm finding that impossible. I feel lost, surrounded by Satan's lies. You tell me to see the good in people, but I just can't anymore. Even parts of my family and friends have been tricked by the enemy. The evil one has used the world to convince them that sin is acceptable. That your word doesn't have to be followed, because it doesn't line up with what they want to believe. Help them, like you have helped me, to see your light. Help them realize this is spiritual war and that there is only one side that is righteous. Your side.

Lord the enemies are at the gates, what am I to do? I trust you, but please help me, my family, and your church. We are all in danger from the evil one. We are hurting and in need of your strength. When you said that the world would hate me because of you. I didn't realize how true that would be. Faith in you is the only comfort I have. Don't let the world shake that faith.

Jesus, I pray you have mercy on all who have died in your name. From the ancient Apostles to Charlie Kirk, all who have bled in your name, Lord help them and their families. Help the people who are confused, help the people who have turned from you and are now lost in ideology and hate. Help me to not hate those who support Satan and his evil ways. Help my children to stay in their Baptismal grace and for them to not fall into confusion and mental illness. Help your Church, we are suffering right now.


Lord, we are waiting for your return. Please hurry, we need your Kingdom here on earth. This world is lost and we need your mercy more than ever. I pray for my enemies, I pray for your grace to forgive and help me to not get lost in this world. In your Father's name, Amen.

AoSHQ Weekly Prayer List

Please submit any prayer requests to me, “Annie’s Stew” at apaslo atsign hotmail dot com. Prayer requests are generally removed after four weeks unless we receive an update.

Prayer Requests:

8/20 – rickb223 sent an update. His wife, Stacy, was diagnosed with Stage 4 endometrial cancer on 3/5/23. She had been seeing an oncologist in Plano, TX, but after two years, the chemotherapy was no longer working, and was doing more harm than good. They wanted to try and let her body heal for a couple of weeks. She went on hospice 8/1/25. They thought they would have more time, but God had other plans. She went Home at 10:20 am, to be with her father, brother, granddaughter, and our Lord.

8/22 – NR Pax requests prayers for his father, who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s on 8/20.
8/30 Update – Dad was in the ER all Tuesday night after taking a tumble. He is on medication for Parkinson’s so now it’s a matter of seeing how much that helps.

8/23 – SpeakingOf could use prayers. SpeakingOf’s father’s lung cancer has returned, and due to dad missing SpeakingOf’s mom, dad does not want any treatment and is in hospice. SpeakingOf is worried and fearful and heartbroken and would appreciate God’s mercy at this time.

8/23 – Tecumseh Tea gave a status. She is steadily improving from her heart attack. She said she feels mostly like herself again. She is looking for a new cardiologist, since the one she saw had zero interest in her or her heart.
8/28 Update – Tecumseh Tea is in the hospital again with heart issues. Please pray that they can figure out what is going on and how to treat it.

8/25 – Grammie Winger posted that Rev is doing well, but she was diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer last week.
9/6 Update – grammie winger sent her love and how much the Horde has meant to her over the years. She said her time is being measured in days and weeks now, and that soon she will go to that place that Jesus has prepared for her. She said she will miss the group so much.

8/25 – BurtTC is dealing with a family matter and could use some prayers.
9/4 Update – BurtTC’s mother passed away. BurtTC asked for prayers for her family, who suffering the loss. Her soul is safe and at peace in heaven.

8/26 – Axeman would appreciate prayers. He just gave the verbal approval to move his mom to hospice.

8/27 – Ben Had sent an update on JT. He is doing well and sends a “Hiya” to the Horde.

8/28 - Grumpy and Recalcitrant asks for prayers for Pixy Misa, who runs the morning tech thread. Pixy has been suffering from edema (water retention and swelling of the extremities). In addition to the swelling, there has been significant pain in both feet, and now one hand. Please pray that the doctors and nurses take this problem seriously. Pray that God guides their minds and hands in the diagnostic and treatment processes, so that Pixy may be restored to full health. Pray that He sustains Pixy through this health trial.
9/6 Update – Grumpy and Recalcitrant sent an update: Pixy has been on medication to reduce the water retention, and has shed many pounds in a short time, and has a cream to apply to his feet to help with the pain. Both are helping a lot in short order. Things are not fully back to normal yet, but there has been big progress and a lot of relief from how bad it was. Thank you for your prayers, Horde.

8/30 – Accomack requested prayers for his wife, who is hospitalized with babesiosis that advanced to hemolysis. She is anemic to begin with and won’t be discharged until her red blood count returns to normal.
9/1 Update Mrs. Accomack should be discharged on 9/2. Thank you for your prayers.

8/30 – The Walking Dude requested prayers for his mother, who fell and broke her hip. She is in the hospital, and will be in rehab for weeks/months? She is 90 years old. Please pray for her recovery. Thank you very much; he really appreciates the prayers.

9/5 – Inogame requested continued prayers for his wife. It seems like they may have two blessings on the way, not just one, since there seems to be a second heartbeat. In a few weeks they will know for sure. He asks for prayers that they be doubly blessed if the Lord wills it.

9/5 – Teresa in Fort Worth gave an update that she was very ill (throwing up), and was going to spend a day or two at the hospital while they figure out what is going on (and give her IVs due to dehydration). It doesn’t seem to be related to the cancer.
9/7 Update – Teresa still cannot keep solid food down. The CT scan showed something odd (metallic) in her stomach, so she will have an MRI on 9/8.

9/6 – Tbodie sent an update on a son, who has pancreatic cancer at age 36. He just finished his sixth round of chemo. Please pray that the family will know that God is in control and that the son and daughter-in-law will know He is there for them.

9/6 – “Perfessor” Squirrel sent his thanks to the Horde for their prayers over the past few weeks, as he went through a difficult time at work. He announced he will be moving to a new job (at the same university) on 9/22. It will be similar work as before, but a different boss, and that is good.

9/6 – vmom deport deport deport asked for prayers for Sophia, age 12, who was still fighting for her life with a bullet in her brain after the trans school shooting in MN.

9/11 – D sent an update for Susan, his wife, and her battle with cancer: Thank you, everyone, again for your prayers for Susan. Her cancer markers went down at the last Dr visit, but she is back to having abdominal pain that is making it hard to eat right. They are trying to get her weight up and thank God for the good days they do have. The really good news is that she is able to walk around again without the fear of falling over.

9/11 – Annie’s Stew asks for prayers of comfort for Charlie Kirk’s family (first and foremost), prayers for this country as we all grieve, and that God would reveal His will for us, as we move forward as individuals and as a country.

How are you doing? Got fishing stories. Or young widow stories?

Posted by: NaCly Dog at September 13, 2025 08:12 AM (u82oZ)

18 An interesting prayer. Started off real well with gratitude and acknowledgement of the wisdom and protection of God.

Then its like that person walked away and someone off the anti-anxiety meds came in and wrote the next paragraphs without any reflection on the first. Because the first paragraph is a retort to the rest

At that point the prayer exposed the author as an evangelical because of the conclusion: I'm too weak, my faith is near gone, I need you to come to earth NOW and settle all of my differences.

Go back to the first paragraph and meditate on that.

No fishing stories. Been aching to get out but...
And that "young" widow, while young at heart, and always doing for others, is 13 years older than me.
She blesses me by allowing me to do for her and mostly by praying for me,,, often.

Hope you're well!

Actually we are all flawed and sinful creatures.
And unfortunately the wages of sin is death.

Our faith in the Golden Rule is what the Horde is all about.

Although there are atheists, agnostics, Jews, Christians, here at the Prayer Thread, we believe in the golden rule and try to be good.

Hope this all made sense.

44 MisHum, that entire prayer was much needed by me. I wish I could memorize every word and recite it to myself daily. It touched upon everything I'm feeling.

I also watched Erika Kirk's address on Rumble this morning. It was impossible not to shed tears. Speaking for myself, I've been in a fog since that shining light that was Charlie Kirk was brutally assassinated. Things feel different. Dire. Uneasy. I'm being drawn closer to our Lord and Savior, for He is truly my refuge in these unholy times.

I'm praying for everyone in need of healing, and in need of Christ's love.

Instead, everyone across the nation, possibly the world, will see this and a majority will condemn her.

Even if they agree with the sentiment, they'll feel like they got passed over. These mutants are nothing if not pretty, vindictive, and jealous of power and attention.

49 Bass is an especially odious critter to be sure. It is remarkable how much damage a single low frequency individual can do in an organization.

She has not been selected for any management competence, merely for her political or ideological reliability.

Government is now full of broads just like her. I suppose in a way their success in aggregate has been their undoing, because the policies they champion are ultimately designed to fail, intended to be failures. Ain’t nobody buying their shit any longer.

55 I must add this exhortation.

In view of the prayer starting this thread, it is a dereliction of duty for any pastor to not be preparing for a comprehensive preaching of Ephesians 6:10-20 to be delivered on as many opportunities as possible.

Its also likely that, if the assembly has a good reputation in the community, that there will be plenty of new opportunities to console and share the practical aspects of our faith.

Is anyone surprised? We're talking LA. The city of sin. Would the Devil want the cross of Jesus flying above his city? These are hateful, wicked people. They had and have no respect for all that is good and decent. Let them have their "fun" by showing disrespect to someone who was murdered because of their hatred. Their fun will come to an end they're not prepared for.

An interesting prayer. Started off real well with gratitude and acknowledgement of the wisdom and protection of God.

Then its like that person walked away and someone off the anti-anxiety meds came in and wrote the next paragraphs without any reflection on the first. Because the first paragraph is a retort to the rest.


I agree. Besides what followed's inordinate length, it took on (and on) and wallowed in the tone of "Gloom, despair, and agony on me (ooooh!)"

81 Government is now full of broads just like her. I suppose in a way their success in aggregate has been their undoing, because the policies they champion are ultimately designed to fail, intended to be failures.

Failure in the spirit of Cloward-Piven. They are installed precisely because our enemies want the nation to fail. In that sense, they are profoundly successful.

The issue with C-P, was that their strategery was to crush the welfare state as is so that it could be replaced with UBI. The crushing the welfare state extended to crushing everything because the ideology of destroying something for the principle of Marxism extend to also destroying the family, the community, the culture, language, borders, etc.

it was like the question asked when cooking off the first atomic bomb test, would a chain-reaction devour everything - that question was either asked and answered by Dark Tetrad types, or exceeded the abilities of the implementor's ability to process abstracts.

No, I don't think they even know what that would mean. They are just being obstinate, and have in the back of their minds the idea that Trump is a bully and if you just stand up to a bully, he slinks away.

This is because none of them have ever fought an actual bully, whom you have to actually beat up, or at least make the cost of bullying not worth the risk of persistent violence in response. They're used to telling teacher and everything being made fine.

102 I don't think Jesus was a pacifist. His words and deeds in the Gospel can be confusing. The writings after his death cause more confusion.

You need to understand the Meta Narrative.

God (according to John, Jesus in particular aka "Word") created all things through Him. Jesus also has the name "Light" and in Him is "Life".

The incarnate missions was to defeat Sin and Death. At His resurrection he initiated "The Age To Come" (aka Church Age) we are living in it. He gave the generations between his ascension and return (The Last Day) the Paraclete to aid the building of the Church (aka the Bride of Christ).

The Paraclete's work is undoubtedly the most complex and comprehensive as billions of lives have His personal guidance.

The LORD returns to judge the Earth. Sin & Death are cast into the Pit along with those who are not in the Book of Life.

The idea of "killing" is nonsense in a spiritual context. Fear not the one who can take your physical life, but the one who can condemn your soul to Hell.

109 Before I get any further into discussion, I have to offer thanks and praise to God and you, my prayer buddies, for the many blessings my family has received this week. I said last night that his week feels like it's lasted for years, and it goes far deeper than Charlie Kirk.

So many things have been hanging around, unfinished, so many relationships locked in silence, questions of health lying unresolved, and even minor details, like my long time web host (Typepad) announcing it was shutting down, leaving me scrambling for a replacement.

All of these have in some way reached resolution - not final, but long-hidden pathways are now plain to see. My life has changed a lot since Monday, and I'm still processing it. Our family has also changed, in a very good way.

I guess I will just say that with God, anything is possible. The person making that prayer at the top of the thread only needs to understand that. God hears all our prayers and answers them as well, but not in ways we expect.

According to the Lord of Spirits podcast guys, Jesus is "The Angel of the Lord" in the Old Testament, the one who is the instrument of God's wrath and wields a fiery sword. In the New Testament he says he comes with a sword.

This is consistent with Catholic teaching. Good has a duty to defeat evil, not passively sit there and die. Many martyrs did die, but they had no meaningful way to resist, and so rather than submit and live, they chose death.

St. Michael the Archangel is not a pacifist.

It's interesting that the GOPe in the Senate suddenly found its backbone, voting in lockstep to ram Trump's people through.

I think a big part of it is that they finally understand that there is no differentiation between Trump or other Republicans - all are on a list somewhere. The only thing standing between them and an Antifa bullet is Trump's government, and he needs it fully staffed NOW.

Charlie Kirk was no radical, reasonable, kind and the horror of seeing him shot to death in front of his family and then seeing media and Dem elected officials (their "honorable colleagues) rejoicing over it really opened their eyes.

Well, I'm officially transitioning to a new job starting Monday, September 22.

Different boss (Yay!) for less pay (Boo!), but on the whole it will be a good change for me.

First thing this morning I went into my office and packed up two full boxes of crap I've accumulated since I've been working in my cubicle.

136 You must not know any Catholics or Baptists, because both groups in my experience can go from absolute foul-mouthed rants to heartfelt prayer in the same breath.

In the wake of the CK assassination, there has been spiritual outpouring from a very broad spectrum of personalities.

My favorite is this tatted by gang banger whose vocabulary specializes on all of the variations and applications of the F-bomb. Diagramming the sentences would be interesting.

Along the foul-mouther, vulgar language was the expression of sincerity, empathy and love for CK's family ending with a question of spirituality and a prayer.

It may not be kill one get a thousand, but kill one and get millions.

Yes. The fear I had under Biden was that Trump would be killed, Biden would cover it up, and there would be sporadic riots and demonstrations in the right, followed by a brutal crackdown that creates further resistance from governors, who in turn are targeted and the military splinters over orders to open fire on the crowds.

I was not only much in those days, but told my friends that if Trump got five points ahead of Biden he would be killed. look at the polling prior Butler.

Thank God he survived, and now the correlation of forces is entirely different. An increasingly unified military is standing squarely behind Trump, and federal agencies are being purged in record time - helped greatly by the traitors self-identifying on social media. The left feels its power ebbing away, and so lashes out with pure wrath. There is no hope in victory, only violence and death.

Charlie Kirk Fatally Shot by Fellow Conservative at Utah University Event
Last updated
4 hours ago
Charlie Kirk, the influential conservative activist and founder of Turning Point USA, was fatally shot on September 11, 2025, during a speaking event at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah. The suspect, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson from a Republican-leaning family, surrendered after his father turned him in, with authorities charging him with murder in what they called a political assassination motivated by Robinson's view of Kirk as insufficiently conservative and fascist-like. Kirk's death has drawn worldwide tributes, including vigils in London and New Zealand, while igniting fierce debates on political violence, online radicalization, and America's deepening divisions.
This story is a summary of posts on X and may evolve over time. Grok can make mistakes, verify its outputs.

I generally don't use foul language, and I admit to feeling very uncomfortable when women use anything harsher than a damn, hell, etc. Lots of college kids come to my town in the summer, and I don't think many of them can complete a sentence without dropping an F-bomb. " Anyone see my f'ing car keys?" And the girls are absolutely the worst.

I didn't grow up with swearing in the house, and my own kids don't curse in front of me. It stuns me to hear parents using f-bombs in convos with their kids.

All that being said, I have to admit that I've cursed more this week than any time since I worked in a refinery years go and mastered the art.

Very much so. People blathering on about "cultural Marxism" are blind to the truth that this is demonic energy, not a political or ideological dispute. For one thing, gays and trannies are not at all Marxist. Marxists regard them as bourgeois decadence. Look at Communist China. People who do that there get sent to camps.

It is a combination of vile heresies, and a desire to mar God's creation. Everyone felt that oppression - and we felt it lift last November. The demons certainly felt it, and are now spooling out their people to create as much mayhem as possible now that their plans to turn the US into a pagan nation have failed.

I was vaguely aware of Kirk. Saw him occasionally around Trump and he was on the jet to Greenland with Don Jr.

At our men's breakfast Friday, a retired AF O-6 mentioned that two of his daughters were distraught over the assassination and much consoling was required.

What I don't get is how so many Boomers and X knew and hated him due to their belief in the lies and slander. There is even a Army Reserve Major whose hatred was so intense that he would throw away his career from his social media posts.

That was another scenario I considered, but in retrospect, Harris was not considered a reliable replacement for the cabal running the show. They should have had a primary, but Doctor Jill (and Obama) outfoxed them until the California Clique mounted a coup. (Was Biden's letter announcing his decision not to run signed with an autopen???)

For years I've been asking "Who is Jose Calvo Sotelo?" and I think we all agreed he was Trump.

Turns out it was Charlie Kirk.

I look at it this way. Those who have a lot to lose yet still blow up their career and reputation have serious impulse control issues. In a deportation sense, this is the winnowing of the "worst of the worst".

By any measure CK was a man among men, decent among the decent, and kind among the kind. The lies were so outrageous and contradictory to the well known persona and demonstrated life of CK that the "careful and more deliberate" don't necessarily have the personality to take at face value the lies that would lead their peers to murderous rage.

The ones who rely on traditional media are clueless. They still slurp down CNN and the Nightly News, thinking it is honest.

Also remember that there is a deep rot in the officer corps, where they think themselves superior to everyone else, above the chain of a command, serving a higher cause. These are the Quislings who enthusiastically followed unlawful orders and went the extra mile to hound out vaxx resisters.

I know some of them, and the moment they found out I didn't take the shot, their demeanor sharply changes and they go on about we all have to follow orders, etc. They are oblivious that multiple laws and regulations were broken in their zeal to show they are so super-obedient.

False analogy because Democrats don't even have in their vocabulary the ability to contemplate objective evil.

I see it along this division:

In terms of politicians and those who are too involved in politics: All Democrats and many Republicans hate America, the rest of the Republicans have no love for America.

Its a harmonization of the old: Stupid and Evil Parties and the Uniparty.

Thus the Uniparty hates America, the rest have no love for America.

Now they think their highest calling is to undermine Trump because they have no sense of honor; they think betrayal is clever and lying is sophisticated.

From what I heard, he was killed by the Fuddiest of Fudd guns: a sporterized Mauser 98 rechambered into 30-06 with cut down stock and scope. The kind of thing you can buy at a gun show for peanuts.

And also a weapon legal in just about every country, including the UK. This is in stark contrast with Uvalde's shooter having a $2,000 rig he paid for by working part-time at Wendy's.

Kirk was 31. Not a lot of 31-year-old senators or even congress critters. He's part of a different generation, completely different from the geriatrics who dominate the upper elected offices.

There are probably quite a few state reps and senators who were (so to speak) created in his image, and have yet to emerge on the national scene.

That is why Kirk was so impressive - and such a threat.

Now they think their highest calling is to undermine Trump because they have no sense of honor; they think betrayal is clever and lying is sophisticated.

While that is impressive, does it matter at all as far as affecting positive change in the government?

My guess is that people in government are just watching this thinking "ok just let them have their little protest to get it out of their system. They can't do anything to get us out of office, so this doesn't matter."

In past eras, something like this would probably matter, because people in government would see potential for being voted out of office. But now, with elections fortified, I think things have changed.

I guess what this does help to do is show others in the UK that they are not alone in their frustrations with the state of the UK.

On the other hand, all these people are now on UK cameras and will be watched by UK government going forward.

With a decent scope, 200 yards is not that difficult, and I've seen speculation that the shooter was aiming for center mass and either missed or Kirk was wearing a vest and fragments hit him in the throat.

Regardless, 30-06 is so much beefier than .556 that one need not have pin-point accuracy to obtain a lethal hit.

And of course, AOC is now actually saying "Yes, we're coming for your hunting rifles!" because she's an utter twit.

200 yards with iron sights is basic marksmanship. Doesn't take much skill or practice either.

271 While that is impressive, does it matter at all as far as affecting positive change in the government?

My guess is that people in government are just watching this thinking "ok just let them have their little protest to get it out of their system. They can't do anything to get us out of office, so this doesn't matter."

It is significant because the PEOPLE realize that they have the numbers. There are too many of them to arrest, and so a "Colour Revolution" is now a possibility - massive resistance across the country, making it ungovernable.

This is a nightmare to the Labour Party, which has dreamed of a successful National Strike for more than a century - and now it is staring them in the face.

No, if they could stop it, they would, but their police are pussies and the military could fit in a booth at Denny's.

This is what it's like to be invulnerable.

She's being a tasteless, uncivil asshole just because she knows she can and nobody (important!) will object. If the fires didn't manage to get her the boot, this certainly won't.

Also, she's probably smart enough to realize that the Democrat Party's nom for Preezy is wide-open right now, and the loudest, most obnoxious, rhetorically violent Democrat a-hole in America, whoever that may be, has a pretty good shot at that role.

I doubt she has the national reach for Preezy, but if she can make herself the political queen of Cali, Vice-Preezy is doable.

This is something that I think has to be a major wake-up call for all conservatives after seeing the responses from all walks of life, all generations regarding the Charlie Kirk assassination. The fact that there are millions upon millions of people who are radicalized in their mindset now and cheer on and support the killing of conservatives.

Over the last few days, we've seen social media posts from teachers, professors, healthcare workers, celebrities, law enforcement, people in all different corporations and businesses, people from colleges and universities, media and social media members, athletes, you name it, expressing not only their support of the Charlie Kirk assassination, but calling for more.

And just like the "moderate" Muslims who don't commit terrorism, but silently support it, there are who knows how many millions more Americans who didn't make statements but support those who did. This is a major problem.

I've never met you, but seeing your comments over the years - especially from the front lines of WI during the Kyle Rittenhouse trial - have given me an incredible sense of joy, laughter, and practical teaching on how to live a Christian life.

It was bad enough going through Charlie Kirk's passing this week, but seeing the entry from Annie's about your health update is breaking me yet further. I wanted to tell you how much your gray box entries have meant to me, while I still can. For some, like OM, I never had the chance, and that fills me with no small amount of sadness. I pray that God keeps you with us for longer, but if that is not His will, I know that you will be meeting up with Charlie before me. Please tell him that we miss him deeply when you do.

I'd like to think that, but it's one thing to show up to a protest where there are little to no consequences for doing so. It is quite another to participate in a national strike or a color revolution, where the consequences are much, much higher.

People here in the US participated in a lot of "protests" during COVID, but when it came to actually risking their jobs and livelihoods by refusing to mask up or refusing to remain at home during lockdowns, that was another story.

I can think of only a few instances -- the New Jersey gym who stayed open while getting fined, the Michigan barber who was made an example of by Whitmer.

Who launched Mao’s bloody Cultural Revolution?
Radicalized students—the Red Guards. They quickly went from justifying violence to committing murder, leaving up to 20 million dead, including many of their own.
Who radicalized them? The Communist education system.
In America, it’s Woke Marxist professors. Our campuses have become hotbeds of anti-American radicalism.

I'd like to think that, but it's one thing to show up to a protest where there are little to no consequences for doing so. It is quite another to participate in a national strike or a color revolution, where the consequences are much, much higher.

345 It's not enough to go after individuals, either. Discord and Twitch need multi-billion dollar lawsuits for sponsoring terrorism and their CEOs put under arrest for facilitating criminal conspiracies.

Incitement to murder has never been protected speech and both platforms have shown they can and will censor content they feel is inappropriate, so there is no wiggle room here.


Posted by: Ace-Endorsed Author A.H. Lloyd at September 13, 2025 10:20 AM

Watching Friday Night Tights last night, they showed a number of Twitch "influencers" who were very detailed in their call for murder of conservatives. And these were live streams that have been going on for at least a year now. People with hundreds of thousands of followers.

FNT also talked about how a few of these leftist streamers had some sense and spoke out against the assassination, but then you check their followers in their chats and they are calling out the streamers for not sticking to radical views. Scary shit.

We always talk about the "silent majority". There is also a "silent" group of millions across the country with these dangerous, radical views.

367 Boomers were the last generation to be drafted. The vast majority of them went to Nam when ordered, without protest because they thought they were fighting for their country.

They came home to a nation of Gen Xers who spit in their faces and called them baby killers. Many suffered from exposure to Agent Orange, and still more from PTSD.

But they moved on. They married, had families, and worked two, maybe three jobs in order to afford their 18% mortgage. Many, if not most, succeeded and built wonderful lives.

But now the generations that follow despise them. They blame them for all their own shortcomings.

They can't afford a home! --Neither could we. We worked OT, two jobs. Menial jobs.

They can't get a good job! - We worked our way up the ladder and were smart enough not major in gender studies or French Lit.

So do me a favor and sit down and shut up.

I don't think Gen-X-ers were spitting on Vietnam war veterans. Gen-X is from 1964 to 1980. So Gen-X-ers would have been 9-11 years old when US soldiers were returning from Vietnam 1973-1975.

If those Gen-X children were spitting on soldiers, it was likely at the direction of their Silent generation (1928-1945) parents.

Gen X had some advantages, like Bill Clinton declaring that oral sex did not officially count as sex.

As to spitting, look up how popular the War on Terror was by 2006. All manner of media slurs about mass graves. Remember The New Republic's fake articles showing our troops as callous killers? Good times.

Two of my uncles served in Vietnam and I tell them that they can finally feel better about themselves, because they only lost one war, while I've lost two.

As a Boomer, I know lots of this hate directed at my generation has nothing to do with me.

That said, maybe some hatred of Boomers is necessary because the young generation thinks "Boomer" is anyone over 50 regardless of what the marketing demographers want us to believe.

There is a lot of truth in the hippies bringing their Marxist ideology into the classroom and other venues. The youngsters having built in suspicion of their intents and broad brushing an OK Boomer on what might often be more Marxist garbage is good.

That is, the paid protesters who are mostly grey hairs - yeah, call them Boomers and also hold them in contempt by default. Then ignore their garbage.

If hating me because of my age is the collateral damage, then I'm fine with that.

439 Also in line with the prayer thread, Shad M. Brooks (of Friday Night Tights) thoughts (with supporting scriptures) on how God is using Charlie's life and death:

X: https://bit.ly/4piR8VY

"I believe that by God suffering an evil man to Kill Charlie, God has used his death to change hearts and to fulfil his plans for us. For Charlie had completed the work God wanted him to do, and part of his work was to become the martyr he now is. It is not the first time God has had good men die for him, and it won't be the last.

Charlie Kirk's death might mean more for changing hearts than his later life could have, for we don’t know how long his life was destined to be. His future could have been faced with disease, or death by personal injury. He might have been destined to die in a car crash for all we know. But what I do know, is that God has made his death mean more than what his later life was destined for."

Because the facts are quite different than the lazy suppositions made by people who are reflexively critical of Boomers.

We paid into SS and Medicare for 40+ years. We suffered through the financial malaise of the 1970s and early 1980s (and the dotcom bubble and the recession of 2008+).

We managed the ups and downs of the economy without whining like little bitches about being owed a universal basic income. We went to work five days a week!

First time I listened to Rush was precisely, because I've heard negative things about this guy Rush Limbaugh on the radio. So I though, what is he saying, I need to hear for myself. And the rest is history. Rush always said, ask your liberal friend (or whoever ) to listen to my show for 30 minutes. Just give me 30 minutes.

454 There are a lot of videos of Charlie calmly arguing with those with opposing views.

X algorithms have decided that I need to be exposed to Charlie Kirk hate. One heavily edited video began with three young people physically fighting over who gets to sit in the chair to debate CK.

The dickhead that prevailed by elbowing some girl, and shoving her away tried to make the argument that XY Chromosomes do not make a person male. His primary argument is that Christians call God "The Father", and thus God is expressed as a man even though He doesn't have XY chromosomes.

CK didn't know how to respond to such tortured absurdity so the young creep shouted out that he 0wned CK and beat him in a debate. (because of editing I have no idea how the exchange really happened/ended)

This is the lunacy that CK had to deal with.

It's ironic that the "Ok, Boomer" phrase became popular and spread on social media. When most of the people who created the internet, cell phones, video games, desktop computers, laptops, iPhones, music players, etc. were from the Boomer generation or before.
