I have cut way back on all podcasts, tv watching (Fox biz channel), all x posts. too much info overload since Iran excursion started.

Omg! Im so glad you put this out. I felt like I was the only one. All the same people you mentioned I have been unfollowing . I think some of them were legit Trump supporters at one point and have turned while some were nefarious from the beginning. I started to notice the shift when Midnight Hammer happened. And then they started coming out of the woodwork. Unfortunately the common denominator that I see is our VP with the fake hillbilly story. Most of these people have close ties to him (Tucker, Kent, Barnes, Baris, Kelly, Ryan). Flynn was the last one I was willing to admit but you can tell from his posts that he has been trying to undermine Trump raving about Epstein and accountability. We need to figure out who is paying these people or what their motives are.

What if some of it just give you a sense of comfort in chaos? Understanding no one knows what God has planned. 🙏✝️

I don’t find chaos comforting. I’m more of the Lawful Good type. I find comfort in order, but also in letting things I have no control over and thing I’ve been mistaken about go.

This list of cartoon characters CLEARLY working to undermine Trump and his team was great! I had asked you to elaborate on a previous episode -so THANK YOU for putting yourself out there for all of us. We each care about your opinions! That’s why we tune in 🍿

Thank you for this. I have felt the same way for quite a while. It is like when I first became a Christian all I had were the televangelists. Then when I finally found myself in a proper church, being taught rightly through the preaching of the Word and sacraments, that I was able to identify the heresy in those other teachers. They served a purpose in that they raised so many questions I had to pursue real truth. And then it is lasting, right? Not that we know it all, or ever will this side of heaven, but we can discern better and better as we grow in our desire for understanding. Let the fakers make their millions and get their clicks. We see and God does too. I am thankful for your humility as you seek to explain and give us understanding. May this be multiplied by God’s will more and more.

~ Rob Henderson's book Troubled is a very worthwhile read. He explains his concept of "luxury beliefs" which are ideas and opinions that provide social status to the affluent while often imposing costs on the lower classes. His insightful sociological views are born of his life story- he was a foster child, then adopted into a dysfunctional family. If you don't know about the problems of foster kids & adoption, it is an eye-opener. Anyone with an intact family will feel very blessed & grateful not to have had the child that Rob endured. My wife & I have been supporting the Children's Home Society of Virginia as our primary charity for many years. Unfortunately Virginia is one of the worst states in the country when it comes to foster kids 'aging out' at 18. Imagine not having a decent family, w/no resources, from a troubled background, and then thrust onto the streets to fend for yourself. As you can imagine, the outcomes for these kids are mostly solitary, nasty, brutish, & short. no joke, if you are able, please support them: CHSVA.ORG. ~

You’ve always preached discernment.

The challenge is that most people are lazy or just disillusioned.

Discernment is work. Ironically, It’s why Malls exist.

Always happy to see a new post! Going in! - what do you think about Lemon running for President? 🤣🤣🤣

What do you think about Derek Johnson, Patrick Byrne, and Mike King? Derek proves his points by teaching about existing military laws and orders. Mike King just spent several months summarizing key Q posts in multiple hour long reviews.

As I listened to this part on social status, I see how this would pyramid into a consolidated “groupthink” as those of high social status listen to those of higher social status.

You are so right! The emotional way requires less energy because 1) it doesn’t need to be converted to language. 2) it flows along paradigm paths in the brain so as not require one to restructure one’s worldview (confirmation bias)
