Music H/T: Hadrian The Seventh
Meme H/T: CBD

Thank you Gentlemen.


Good morning Horde, boys, girls and everything in between. Before we get to the Prayer Revival just a few housekeeping items to take care of. (Rulz for those of you in Richland Center)

1. This is an open thread, please feel free to lurk, opine and/or bloviate away.
2. Be nice to one another. Let's not stop this thread.
3. Running with sharp objects is highly frowned upon. Run at your own risk.
4. Have a great weekend!


*****


Thank you Annie for your diligent work being our Prayer Revival Custodian.

I would also like to ask for prayers for our local, state and federal officials.


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:

5/25 – Tonypete asked for prayers for an elderly neighborhood couple. They are in failing health and abilities. They insist on living independently, yet they can’t do it. Tonypete and his wife are torn between respecting their wishes and privacy, but there are numerous LEO wellness checks each week.
6/8 – Tonypete and R have been subpoenaed to give testimony at the competency hearing in a few weeks, called by the elderly couple’s children. The elderly couple is still fighting against going to an assisted living facility. It’s just a very sad situation.

6/1 – Polliwog the ‘Ette requested prayers for her sister C, who has surgery to remove some ovarian cysts and anything else in there that looked suspicious. Now she has to wait for the pathology report, and recover, which is complicated by her being extremely allergic to “all” opioids. Also, she is the family’s main earner, and her disability will only cover about 40% of what she brings in.

6/1 – Tonypete asked for prayers for his BIL, who is cognitively disabled. He lives alone and normally does pretty well, but recently quit his job, which has led to issues: namely money. Social services are involved, but it isn’t going well.

6/1 – G asked for prayers for healing and strength for Uncle Joe. Joe’s wife of 50 years passed earlier this year, and now Joe is having painful back problems. He is in pain and lost without Sally.

6/5 - Teresa in Fort Worth requested prayers for friends, Chris and Debby, whose 22 year-old son (Jeremy) passed away this week. Jeremy choked on food at his daytime facility. He had Down Syndrome and autism, and was non-verbal. His parents know he is in a better place and finally free of his health issues, but they still could use comfort.

6/7 – Village Idiot’s Apprentice posted that his radiation oncology follow-up went well, and he is cancer free. He will have to do surveillance bloodwork for the rest of his life, but that’s okay!

6/8 – FenelonSpoke asked for prayers for her friend and running mate, P. She has been in the hospital in WI with bleeding ulcers. She is doing better now, but still needs additional healing. Thanks so much.

6/11 – Sponge clarified the prayers needed for his wife, “The First Lady”. She has breast cancer, and the initial prognosis is good, as it is Stage 1 and caught early. It is an aggressive form of cancer, and but it is the most common, so they’re feeling good about her full recovery. They meet with the surgeon next week and will know more after that.
6/20 Update – The meeting with the surgeon was moderately frightening, as she ‘s been declared Stage 1B ,which means it’s a relatively aggressive form and can spread quickly. Her surgery has been scheduled for the end of July, but they don’t know the severity of that surgery yet. There are more tests to do and will meet with the oncologist. Thanks for all the prayers.

6/14 – Perfessor Squirrel requests prayers for his friend from church. Jimmy has been suffering some issues with his lungs and could use prayers for healing.

6/15 – Jewells posted that she has decided to end her cancer treatments. She had 6 months to go on her 2 year palliative care program, but the chemo drug is ruining her quality of life.
6/22 Update – They are going to get a second opinion. She still doesn’t want to do any more chemo, but maybe another doctor can come up with something else.

6/15 – Grumpy and Recalcitrant asked for continued prayers for J.J. Sefton of the Morning Report. He is about to begin chemo and radiation therapy.
6/27 Update – J.J. posted: “On a personal note: for those who have been asking about me, I’m four days into treatment and mercifully not feeling any side effects so far. Thank you for your continued support and prayers.” Grumpy and Recalcitrant sends a big thank you to God for helping to keep J.J. strong at this time, and asks that we all keep J.J. in our prayers as he continues with his chemo and radiation therapy for his cancer.

6/19 – DangerGirl lost the SanityProd requests prayers for her father, who was admitted to the hospital with respiratory issues. He’s been struggling for the past year, on and off, with shortness of breath and could use prayers for both healing and a proper diagnosis. (The doctors can’t figure out what is causing it.) Thank you!

6/22 – Muldoon updated the Horde that the various criminal investigations groups will be searching the week of 6/24. He sent thanks for the previous prayers and words of support.

6/22 – Our country is screwed offered prayers of thanksgiving that their daughter, age 27, battling breast cancer, is on her last chemo treatment. She has tolerated it very well. She still will have surgery in August.

6/22 – Aetius451AD sent thanks to the Horde for the prayers, and thanks to God, for the healing of his dad after a heart attack and surgery. Dad is cleared for normal activity now.

6/22 – Tonypete requested prayers for Sandy, a friend from church who passed suddenly.

6/22 – Gushka asked for prayers for herself and for her husband’s soul. His body was found in the river. He had been missing since 12/8. The coroner is ruling it a suicide.

6/23 – Steck asked for prayers for a former co-worker named Allen. Before Allen was transferred back to his former job, Allen became cold and distant after hearing that Steck is a born again Christian. As a former atheist, Steck’s experience is that there’s often a nearby “support system” of fellow atheists. Please pray hard to bring Jesus into this fine man’s life, and into the lives of those around him and change their hearts as well.

6/25 – TP asked for prayers for JT, who is ill and in need of prayer.

6/25 – Alberta Oil Peon posted that he has a lump of some sort impinging on one of his vocal cords. He is booked for surgery on 7/31.

6/26 – VM requested prayers for 2 co-workers. Mrs. C, who is hospitalized for an unspecified illness. And Mrs L, whose teen daughter is in the hospital for a seizure.

For submission guidelines and other relevant info, please contact Annie's Stew, who is managing the prayer list. You can contact her at apaslo at-sign hotmail dot com. If you see a prayer request posted in a thread comment, feel free to copy and paste it and e-mail it to Annie's Stew. She tries to keep up with the requests in the threads, but she's not here all of the time, so she may not see it unless you e-mail it to her. Please note: Prayer requests are generally removed after four weeks or so unless we receive an update.

2 Corinthians 4:8-9
We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair, persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed.

14 Amazing as to how successfully the Dems have been at shutting down, within 24 hours, all talk of replacing Joe on the ticket.

all of this talk about putting Newsom or Whitmer or Moochelle on the ticket was just fantasy. This is like late USSR politics - the decrepit, elderly leader represents the Party, and the Party's orders cannot be questioned. To do so threatens the Unity of the Party, and that will not be allowed.

19 If people who be so kind, please say a prayer for my son's university. They are facing financial difficulties and it would really be a shame if they went under as their enrollment has stayed steady and they were founded as "farm school" by a rabbi, and the majority of students are in agricultural or farming/diary/animal science related things. It is a small school and my son was happy there and the professors were good. Thanks.

May he heal you, bring you comfort and assuage your grief. May he strengthen your body and soul in His ways. May he provide your daily bread and give you boundless faith.

I don't think that's what's happening. I think we won't know about a switch until it happens. I just can't see the Dems going into November with as fatally compromised a candidate as Biden. It would be electoral seppuku.

I agree that the Hillary faction is now a fever dream by a fading old crone, hunched over her kettle with a jar of bat's eyes.

Getting rid of Sotomayor would be like going to the Elysian Fields and then getting ice cream.

God answers all prayers, but he does not always give the answer we want.

I got a new set of glasses this week. My primary reason for getting my eyes checked was that my old pair had those awful "transitions" lenses that essentially cut me off from sunlight - even in a heavy overcast they would tint. I hated it, so even though my eyes had been stable for years, I wanted a new pair.

Turns out, they had deteriorated - go figure! Anyhow, I love how bright the world is! I had a buzz the first day I wore them. Now, however, I'm struggling to see as the change has left the muscles sore and my right eye keeps watering. This is a needed reminder to enjoy my eyesight and not take it for granted.

Thanks be to God!

50 From the WSJ:

European officials had already been expressing worries in private about Biden’s focus and stamina before Thursday’s debate, with some senior diplomats saying they had tracked a noticeable deterioration in the president’s faculties in meetings since last summer. There were real doubts about how Biden could successfully manage a second term, but one senior European diplomat said U.S. administration officials in private discussions denied there was any problem.

The truth is that they can't. This isn't a New Jersey senate race where a motivated judge and a corrupt secrectary of state change the rules to let a popular politician come out of retirement.

There would have to be an open convention and the obvious successor would be Harris, who would be a disaster. But they can't rob America of the First Women of Color President without destroying themelves and they know it. They can't push her to the back of the bus for Newsome or Whitmer.

What galls me is that all of these people thought we would accept their word and discount what we see with our own eyes. They think we are that stupid, even the lefty faithful have to question what their gods think of them. Of course they may truly be that stupid and tds.

May he heal you, bring you comfort and assuage your grief. May he strengthen your body and soul in His ways. May he provide your daily bread and give you boundless faith. His name rings eternal, for he has risen you up from nothing given you this life and set you on the path. He will not abandon you, and is always with you. Praise Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior!

6/27 Update – J.J. posted: “On a personal note: for those who have been asking about me, I’m four days into treatment and mercifully not feeling any side effects so far. Thank you for your continued support and prayers.” Grumpy and Recalcitrant sends a big thank you to God for helping to keep J.J. strong at this time, and asks that we all keep J.J. in our prayers as he continues with his chemo and radiation therapy for his cancer.

74 Good morning, everyone. I had a nice note from Bitter Clinger last night and I wanted to pass on his message for you:

Send my warmest regards to all the good souls at AoS.

If they would like a message from me, tell them this:

"It is my most fervent prayer that those there that are struggling would find relief, that those that strive would find success, that those that worry would find comfort, that those that are ill would find healing and most of all that the truth of the Savior of the world, our Lord Jesus Christ, would live in the hearts of them all, throughout all trials and storms and in every jubilant and celebratory moment and even in the dull times. We shall see each other on the other side, and what a glorious time it will be, when our strivings cease and death and corruption is defeated.

I love all of you folk, both those with whom I disagree and those whom I find the deepest kinship."

This issue of Kamala? Is t an issue. Who likes her? Who is she popular with even on their side? Black men? Black women? They had the audacity to run a feeble old white man with a racist past, went on a black radio show and told black people that they weren’t black if they didn’t vote for him(Democrat). Every lefty idiot voter is malleable. You’ll have a few that’ll fuss, but as far as her being an issue………the left doesn’t care. You’ll get what they give you and you’ll comply or “you ain’t a Democrat”.

In foreign policy, the primary others are Blinken and Jake Sullivan, two men who are regarded as half wits and political boot lickers by every country in the Middle East, including Israel. They get no respect, especially now that Biden's image is fatally wounded. Sullivan I believe is the one who was sent to MBS (crown prince of Saudi Arabia) and tried to lecture him like a school boy about Kashoggi - he was lucky he wasn't beheaded on the spot, but MBS showed him the difference between being a King and a Peasant in person that day. (the relationship has never improved) And Blinken is the clown who's been trying to overthrow Netanyahu's govm't and who has failed at every opportunity.

No one in the world respects any of them, or listens to any of them, anymore.

105 >>The scariest thing is realizing that every Dem with power now openly knows that they have no chance of winning an honest election.

I think they are going to have some problems regaining the trust of a lot of Democrat voters. I'm seeing a lot of shock and anger from Democrats who were told repeatedly that any mention of Joe's decline was just rightwing nut jobs lying.

What the world saw the other night can't be unseen. They can't fix that and they destroyed the trust a lot their supporters put in them. If they will lie about something like Biden's health what else are they lying about?

IMO, absolutely.

Trump's voters won't abandon him. Democrats will vote for whomever they are ordered to ("you don't have to fall in love, you just have to fall in line!"). Independents (ugh) will only hear and see what the MFM wants them to see and hear and are too damned ignorant and lazy to dig for the truth.

The saving grade of our nation is that most radical parts of the administration are also the most incompetent and so can't figure out how to implement their agenda. Most of the gov't is on auto-pilot because incompetent people are always and everywhere threatened by competent ones, so none of those are getting hired.

Lloyd Austin is a remarkable guy, a figure of historic proportions. No American military leader has so thoroughly destroyed his forces the way Austin has. He presided over the greatest strategic military defeat in our history and for an encore broke military recruiting.

Our intervention in Ukraine has been a debacle and our Excellent Red Sea Adventure has been a complete failure. Fearless prediction: there will be a blank frame where his portrait used to be.

I think that the problem isn't a lack of intelligence. They are smart in terms of being highly educated. The problem is that they have been trained to view people as interchangeable cogs in the Great Machine.

The randomness of humanity confounds them. Joe not only showed his age but did it during a rigged debate that had many softballs lobbed his way. Trump was supposed to be broken by being a convicted felon and not only did he refuse to do that, he mocked the justice system and rallied support to his candidacy.

Right now, they are going over all the contingency plans they had in place and so far they can't find the perfect solution that will let the forward march of progress continue unabated.

There are multiple factions and many minor ones. Clintons, Obamas and California Mafia are the three biggest, but minor players like Whitmer think they have mojo as well.

The core problem is operationalizing the swap. If Biden resigns, Harris is president and no one but Harris wants that. Harris can't be bought off because nothing is worth more than First Woman of Color President. You can't threaten her because she is too stupid to understand it.

At this point, any attempt against her would be seen as a pre-emptive strike to prevent her ascension - and she might do that regardless because Biden's days are clearlly numbered. He is literally one misstep from a coma or death.

"Excellent Red Sea Adventure" LOL. Perfect description, good summary, and you didn't even mention the shameful Gaza Pier which, after at least $220 million and another $22 million in repairs, is now being shut down yet again (according to an article in The Hill yesterday) and the broken pieces carted back to Ashdod. The Pentagon promises a "review" as to why what anyone with any technical knowledge at all told them would happen, actually happened.

Since it's original installation, the Pier has operated for maybe 12 days total and collapsed twice. All food "delivered" was stolen as soon as it was offloaded, and not a single pallet actually reached any of the Gazans it was intended to help. That's the state of US Policy in the Middle East in one nice shiny package, right there.

154 Lol, so it's already too late for Biden to be replaced in WI and NV.

So, while the Constitution let's states decide how they select their electors:
1) the inevitable Constitutional claim that the replacement name should appear instead of Biden will fail because the electors will have still been selected and they can cast their vote for the replacement
2) the number of votes they will lose because Biden's name will still be in the ballot will be too significant a hurdle.

But again, think of the bloodbath if Trump had dropped out after the pussy tape-- That's the carnage they're facing replacing Joe.

A cabal of evil people have managed to lie their way into power and the same qualities that allowed them to subvert the system is preventing them from effectively using it.

Biden has blasphemously partaken of the Eucharist and his reward has been humiliation on an unprecedented scale.

Everything these people touch turns to excrement. All of their schemes are crashing to the ground.

Sadly, innocents are also suffering but if we are honest, our nation has gotten fat, happy and very very stupid. We embraced Sodomy Pride and many of our alleged religious leaders lost their ability to speak God's truth.

My belief from the start of this race is that Trump would have to build a lead beyond the level where cheating could be believably done. Half the country already believed there were serious problems with the 2020 election and I suspect many more are starting to come to that realization.

Unless Trump has a serious stumble I can't see a scenario where anyone would believe Biden wins in the Nov. It's not like he's going to get better, the ride he's on has only one ending. They may have to consider the presidency is lost and they need to focus on down ballot races to try and save Congress.

Although the Dems are all dishing out Happy Talk about this, there is no way they can ever allow this to happen. Some say that Biden wasn't on enough drugs the other night; but what if even pumped to the gills full of adderall, etc, that was the best he could manage? (I tend to favor that idea) When a mind is gone, it's gone, and no drug will bring it back.

Sadly I think they will now concentrate on knocking Trump out of the race, either Judiciously, or fatally. They may talk Big about another debate, but there will never be one, for one reason or another.

Macron hosted Biden for the D Day memorial, and the penny dropped then I suspect. Then Orban came up as head of the EU presidency for six months, and the EUParliament took a major "populist" hit, and then he called for elections and his allies and trusted spoilers either turned to support La Pen or told Macron they weren't interested. This on top of losing control in the Sahel the Uranium there, and possibly losing the CAF is probably keeping the poor guy up at nights.

This line of reasoning begs the question. The Torricelli Option could only happen because a number of specific conditions were in operation, the most important one was that the entire Democrat establishment was united in the choice of replacement candidate.

That hasn't happen and likely won't happen because there is no consensus. Even the most corrupt Dem secretary of state has to have a reason to add one person while keeping another off.

That's the critical hurdle - how they sort through their victim stack and pick a replacement without time for a primary election or even consensus on that. Biden isn't stepping down. Period. Neither is Harris. The only mechanism and a rebellion at the convention and then all bets are off.

204 The earlobe thing Attached vs detached is a genetic thing.. I think.. here google:
The concept of having both attached and detached earlobes at the same time does not align with our understanding of genetics. ...
Since an individual inherits one allele from each parent, they will have either attached or detached earlobes based on the combination of alleles they receive. It is not possible for an individual to have both attached and detached earlobes simultaneously.
Just sayin..


Therefore, the odds of having both attached and detached earlobes in a single individual are essentially zero based on our current understanding of genetics.

208 Another overlooked factor is that the debate made Trump look respectable and statesmanlike.

I didn't watch the whole thing, but the clip about golf I thought was great for Trump. They do the back and forth, Biden looks confused and petulant and then *Trump* is the guy who says "This is childish, we need to stop."

The Dems are descending into chaos, and Trump of all people is being perceived as the safe, conservative option.

Which is quite remarkable, if you think about it.

213 That's the critical hurdle - how they sort through their victim stack and pick a replacement without time for a primary election or even consensus on that. Biden isn't stepping down. Period. Neither is Harris. The only mechanism and a rebellion at the convention and then all bets are off.

Except the convention doesn't really matter anymore, because about the 3rd week of July the Party is going to hold some kind of super Zoom call and pronounce Biden the official designated nominee. They will do this in order to comply with Ohio's ballot access timing requirements. The Convention won't have the power to overturn this.

But I still think the Chicago Convention is going to be an absolute riot to watch.

Phoenix, George and Puff went up to Texas A&M yesterday to have their hearts examined. Spark's autopsy showed he died of dilated cardiomyopathy, where the heart is enlarged and the walls thin, leading to ventricular failure. The condition is thought to be genetic, so a test of the siblings was essential to determine their health and future.

All three had normal echocardiograms and three-minute EKGs. There is no restrictions on their activities.

i was doing a bit last night, but i think we should actually just all very loudly celebrate his performance. talking about the panic helps no one—trump was nightmarish last night and you don’t hear any republicans saying negative things. thus, they win the media battle

we should seriously consider kamala harris for president. but if that doesn’t happen this week i am going to spend the next 7 months celebrating joe biden’s MANY accomplishments and ignoring his faults (age)

When the Reds started burning churches in Spain, the peasants rose up in outrage and the Catholic Church declared a crusade, which gained a lot of popular support.

When the Reds burned churches in Russia, the peasants joined in.

I used to listen to the Lord of Spirits podcast because in terms of spirits, Orthodox and Catholic theology is identical, indeed there are more differences within each body than between them.

What was telling that while the Catholic Church has had to develop deep, thoughtful answers on many questions, the Orthodox are very much SHUT UP and oddly proud of it. I don't think it's the own that they think it is.

I was pessimistic right after the guilty verdict. But now I’m strangely optimistic…. I don’t see Merchan putting him in jail. They’ve seen the guilty verdict boomerang…. Trump’s fundraising went through the roof and his polls actually improved slightly. They must realize by now their lawfare isn’t working and putting him in prison probably guarantees him a 40 state landslide. I think it’ll be a suspended sentence with probation but nothing particularly onerous that will keep Trump off the campaign trail

Infallibility is so grotesquely misunderstood. It's not an assertion of papal authority but a limit ono it. It came about because the growth of democracy led to claims that Catholic voters (and candidates) would simply obey the pope in everything.

Infallibility says the ONLY time the pope speaks with maximum authority is on matters of settled doctrine and dogma in full union with the Church.

It has never been invoked.

Merchan and the Democrats have doubled down on the lawfare on every occasion thus far - I don't see why they would stop.

They have to be terrified - shutting Trump up by imprisoning him, combined with a massive multi-state effort to kick Trump off the ballot as a imprisoned "convicted felon", is about all they have left.

David French is a gimp-suit wearing masochist, who actually wrote a column defending pride flags in schools but opposing the Ten Commandments because he's so Christian.

318 Big day for me yesterday. Bought a new vehicle.
I haven't been inside a car dealership in over three decades because I loathe and despise them that much. Part of the reason I drove the same Mazda Protege for 24 years.
So after much prayer and study I decided to use a car buying service.
It was a VERY POSITIVE experience.
I'm planning to retire and go into a lifestyle of months long camping trips to see this country slowly at my own pace. After studying It to death I settled on a 2023 4Runner Off Road as my tow vehicle.
In a matter of hours the buyer found me a cream puff at a very good price. Five and a half hours south of me, but that is just further insurance it has no rust.
I pulled out of my driveway at 7:30 in the morning in a very worn out Avalon (for which I received four Benjamins) and pulled in at 111:30 with my new lifestyle. The two men I dealt with at the dealership were friendly and even patiently taught me about four wheel drive.
I'm sure lots of you buy cars more often than you buy shoes, but I don't. I have sensed God's leading through this whole process which has been more than a year. I'm so very thankful.

Like lots of Catholic terms, it doesn't mean what you think it means. There are two types of sins - the ones we commit, and the ones inherent in our fallen nature.

Going to Reconciliation removes the sins of commission, but the tendency to sin remains. Think of it as a car with poor alignment, so the wheel pulls to one side. You can be aware of it, compensate for it, but it's always there.

Indulgences are about fixing that alignment, removing the propensity to sin. There are specific rules for receiving them which involve prayers, reconciliation and receiving the Eucharist. It is not a spiritual ice cream cone.

Money has been involved because of the scriptural references to rich men giving away possessions or the man who paid back everyone whom he had defrauded. Obviously, it was abused.

I have received a plenary indulgence during the visit of the relics of St. Jude the Apostle and it was a profound, life-changing experience.

IMO, everything hinges on the Trump. Forget the noise, distraction. It's producing, "I can't stand either of them," among certain likely voters while the progressives publicize they still have the real issues but not the delivery.

There is no time to play & ponder. Concentrate on the ground game regardless of who will be the candidate just as the progressives will do.

J&J have been around politics +/- 50 years. Quid pro quo. For everything they are, they've avoided the Epstein-like 'rumors' that light up the public while others have not been so thoughtful over the decades.

338 If anyone thinks the demon rats are going to allow a repeat of Chicago 1968 at their convention, I would just remind you that for some time they have been actually creating so-called Free Speech zones where they Corral any troublesome demonstrators into an area several blocks away from their convention hall. See for example the John Kerry attempted coronation in Boston.

340 “When the Reds started burning churches in Spain, the peasants rose up in outrage and the Catholic Church declared a crusade, which gained a lot of popular support.

“When the Reds burned churches in Russia, the peasants joined in.”

Burning churches in Spain during its civil war was not an attack on the government. It clearly was an attack on society and this is what enraged the peasants. In Russia the Church was seen as the spiritual arm of the State; hence by attacking the Church there you were going against the Czar and the old order.
