What Is the Source of the Republicans’ Buffoonery? :: By Todd Strandberg

The 118th United States Congress convened in Washington, D.C., on January 3, 2023, and will end on January 3, 2025, hopefully during the final two years of President Joe Biden’s time in office. This Congress has been one of the most unproductive terms in the history of the House.

The only major accomplishment they’ve achieved is the removal of their top leadership. October 3, 2023: The House voted 216 to 210 to remove Kevin McCarthy from the position of Speaker of the House through a motion to vacate the chair.

It took five votes to replace him. McCarthy was forced out because he collaborated with Democrats to pass a budget bill. Hardline Republicans aimed to halt the government until their specific projects were included in the budget. However, considering the Democrats’ control of the Senate and White House, any legislation supported solely by Republicans is not going to fly.

Another waste of time is the censure of Democrats. This type of vote is nothing more than a slap on the wrist, and any Democrat targeted by one will likely view it as a badge of honor.

The House censured Adam Schiff and referred his conduct to the House Ethics Committee for further investigation. Rashida Tlaib was also censured for making statements regarding the Israel-Hamas war that are considered anti-Semitic. Additionally, Jamaal Bowman faced censure for unlawfully pulling a fire alarm in the Capitol in an attempt to delay a bill he opposes.

The vote to remove Rep. George Santos was foolish in my view. If the day comes when the Democrats have a 2/3 majority, they can kick out any Republican.

In his closing arguments for remaining a member of the House, a defiant Santos depicted himself as a victim of a smear campaign by some of his colleagues and made clear that he would not resign before the vote to expel him.

Of the previous expulsions in the House, three were for disloyalty to the Union during the Civil War, and two were for lawmakers convicted in federal court. Santos appealed to those lawmakers who worry that a new precedent is being set for the chamber’s harshest punishment.

“This will haunt them in the future where mere allegations are sufficient to have members removed from office when duly elected by their people in their respective states and districts,” Santos said during a press conference held early in the morning before House debate began.

The Santos Saga continued to unfold with a special election held on February 12, in which Democrat Tom Suozzi emerged as the winner of the recently vacated seat. However, the liberal media failed to acknowledge the Republican’s commendable action regarding Santos. Instead, the left expressed gratitude solely for gaining control of New York’s 3rd Congressional District.

Another dumb idea that Republicans have been playing with is the impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. The Republicans, in a 214 to 216 vote, failed to even get a resolution ball rolling.

House Republicans wanted to have a show trial against Mayorkas for doing such a poor job of handling the border crisis. They should impeach themselves for not knowing they would fall short in their initial vote.

The Democrats have a level of dedication that the Republicans cannot match. Rep. Al Green of Texas had just undergone back surgery, and they brought him to the floor in a wheelchair to change the margin so the impeachment vote would fail to garner enough support.

Rep. Mike Gallagher of Wisconsin was one of three Republicans who broke with the party to oppose the move. He said, “We barreled ahead with a vote. We did not need to embarrass ourselves. We could have simply waited until the math was different and gone ahead.”

I can’t help but wonder if Gallagher was under the influence of drugs when he made that remark. He voted to embarrass his own party. If a small group of Democrats had derailed the House impeachment vote against Donald Trump, they would have faced severe backlash from members of their own party. Republicans often find it challenging to govern with a slim majority, as there is always someone seeking attention by behaving in an uncooperative manner.

There was a second impeachment vote that did pass. The vote was 214 to 213, with three Republicans again opposing the impeachment. Mayorkas is the first White House cabinet secretary in nearly 150 years to be impeached. Since there is zero chance that this impeachment effort will be taken up by the Senate, a rarely used tool for weeding out derelict officials has now become a joke.

Because the liberal media is on the side of the Democrats, press coverage is always going to lean toward the left. A special prosecutor recently cleared Biden of any legal trouble regarding the improper handling of classified documents, citing him as a ‘well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.’

The agents who questioned Biden noted that he couldn’t remember when he was VP and the death of his son. There is no other time in the history of our nation when revelations about our president being senile would have failed to trigger alarm bells in the press.

Biden said his memory was fine and the special prosecutor had an agenda. No less than 15 minutes later, he misidentified the president of Egypt as the president of Mexico. Trump would have been crucified by the liberal media if he had made the same mistake.

The president can claim to talk to dead people without any political blowback. Biden described having recent conversations with the late French and German leaders Francois Mitterrand and Helmut Kohl.

The key reason why Republicans are floundering on the political stage is because of the growing influence of the devil over this world. One way God is warning the world of the coming of the last days is by gradually withdrawing his protective hand.

If Satan were completely free in his actions, he could potentially enslave the world in a single day. The times when it seems that he is totally off his chain are only because he is fulfilling God’s will. The ease with which the devil seems to provoke buffoonish behavior on the part of Republicans is a strong indication that he is at the end of his leash.

“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places” (Ephesians 6:12).

Just What is AI? :: By Rick Segoine

That is the question. What is AI? Seems like an easy question to answer. The simple, straightforward, obvious answer would, of course, be that AI is an abbreviation for Artificial Intelligence.

The wicked ones, however, who think Artificial Intelligence is a good thing, prefer to call it AI. That has to do with the fact that this particular type of intelligence is artificial. In other words, it is not real. It is fake.

Artificial is a word that the promoters of Artificial Intelligence would just as soon keep in the shadows.

It is not a word that inspires confidence. It is a word that implies something untrue and unreal. A word that smacks of phoniness. Calling it AI is much friendlier and much less threatening.

Here are some of the synonyms for the word artificial that are listed in the dictionary:

Artificial: bogus, factitious, false, forced, mock, phony, pretended, put-on, simulated, contrived, fake, feigned, mechanical, pseudo, sham, spurious, and unnatural, and that is just the short list. Each of these synonyms applies to Artificial Intelligence. However, it is not to imply that all things artificial are bad.

Artificial limbs, for example, have improved the quality of life for a great many people. But we are talking about Artificial Intelligence here, better known as AI.

The folks belonging to the globalist elitist cabal, those charming billionaires who want to merge the humans that survive their 2030 depopulation agenda with technology, i.e., Artificial Intelligence, have been operating in an artificial intelligence of a different kind than the artificial intelligence generated by computers. In fact, they have been merged in artificial intelligence since long before computers were even invented.

It is no secret that many, if not most, if not all of the hardcore and wealthiest central members of the evil globalist cabal have great admiration for Lucifer.

It is also now well known that the cabal is the Deep State, the cabal is the New World Order, the cabal is the Fourth Industrial Revolution, the cabal owns most of the swamp creatures, and Lucifer is Satan, and Lucifer/Satan is the devil.

Think about all of those synonyms for the word artificial, and consider what Jesus Christ said about the devil when speaking to the Pharisees.

The Globalists, by the way, and the Pharisees, although very different, do have these things in common:

Arrogance and self-righteousness on a grand scale, coupled with the need to be admired and recognized as superior, and a glaring blindness to the truth even when the truth stands directly in front of them.

And Jesus said, “You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s business. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies” (John 8:44).

The synonyms that call the word “artificial” their daddy can be equally applied to the devil and his followers.

Think of the numerous false theologies and ideologies and the endless false narratives the devil has fooled people throughout history into believing. Some of those false narratives are now being programmed into AI Chat programs. Yes, Bots programmed to lie. Yet, they are all fake, phony, and artificial.

The truths revealed in the Holy Bible by God are 100% real, but the lies told by the devil and his minions and his Bots only pretend to be true while being 100% artificial.

The Artificial Intelligence generated by computer and designed to eventually enslave and control all of mankind and the artificial intelligence practiced by the followers of Lucifer, the father of lies, go hand in hand. The latter developed the former to assist the antichrist in gaining and maintaining absolute power.

There have been some thought-provoking movies made in the last couple of decades based on the idea that computerized Artificial Intelligence might get out of control and take on a life of its own. Movies like The Terminator and The Matrix.

In reality, it hasn’t come to the point yet of Artificial Intelligence taking over and being on the verge of wiping out all of mankind, including the geniuses who invented and programmed it. But the more you do research on the advances of artificial intelligence technology, the scarier the possibilities appear.

It would be easier to refer to Artificial Intelligence as AI rather than spell it out every time, but that sounds too benign, and it whitewashes the fact that it is artificial. It is not real intelligence. It is simulated intelligence.

Is there anyone who enjoys talking to robots on the telephone? Actually, I do know someone who enjoys messing with them. She likes to confuse them, and apparently, they can get flustered. If they were ever programmed by evil programmers to hold grudges and feel the need for vengeance, this might be one of the reasons for them to rebel and attempt to eliminate humans.

All of the big corporations have robots to field the thousands of phone calls that come in daily. Some of the robots are pretty simple and straightforward, and some are much more intrusive and can test your patience.

What I usually do with the really annoying ones is keep saying, “Talk to a human.” No matter what option is presented, I repeat, “Talk to a human.”

Eventually, the Bot gets tired of hearing that and connects me to a living, breathing, sentient being. It is always such a pleasant relief to hear a human voice.

Being older and of the old school, I do not particularly enjoy trying to communicate with robots and have zero desire or willingness to merge my God-given intelligence with artificial intelligence of any kind.

Not the robot kind or the microchip kind or the kind that is a result of falling for the lies of the devil.

The evil cabal, the dark cult, is attempting to merge all of the latest high-tech technologies in their efforts to destroy freedom and enslave and control everyone on the planet. Their plan is to alter the natural God-created order of things and artificially recreate it all in their own image. They refer to this as “build back better.”

They actually believe that they can improve on the way God created things.

Yet, look at all of the negative ways they have altered natural food, either by changing the genetics (GMOs) or by adding chemicals and synthetic ingredients like Aspartame, High Fructose Corn Syrup, MSG, or dozens of other mostly cancer-causing artificial ingredients. This is by design. It causes lots of illnesses of all kinds, and globalist-owned Big Pharma is right there with medications and vaccines full of dangerous side effects for every one of them. Make them sick, keep them sick, and rake in billions on top of billions of dollars. Big Pharma also owns many hospitals where expensive surgeries take place that are caused by the long-term consumption of artificial disease-causing ingredients that have saturated processed foods for quite some time now.

Through pharmakeia or sorcery, brews have been designed, concoctions if you will, that may alter human DNA, and they call these poisonous injections vaccines. The globalist trans-humanists envision eventually combining certain injections, labeled as vaccines, with specially designed microchips and linked to computerized Artificial Intelligence to create a new race. An abomination of a trans-human race of beings that are literally no longer human as God created humans to be.

These long-ago-planned biochemical so-called vaccines have caused a wide variety of health issues, especially heart issues, and have flat-out killed millions of people over the last four years. Some estimates are as high as 17 million killed worldwide by the C-19 jab. And, of course, they have no problem mandating and/or forcing these jabs on people against their will whenever they can or lying about safety and effectiveness issues. Or denying all of the harm that has been caused worldwide and labeling any and all criticism as disinformation and conspiracy theories. They just stubbornly march forward with their goals of depopulation and trans-humanism despite all opposition to their tyrannical and diabolical behavior. Opposition by decent God-fearing people who want no part of their artificial delusions of grandeur.

It is now four years down the road from “three weeks to flatten the curve,” and the sociopaths at the WHO are predicting a soon-to-come Virus X, which they predict will be 20 times as lethal as the C-19 virus. They should know since it is they and their evil globalist pals who pay scientists to develop these viruses in tax-payer-funded labs that are now scattered and hidden in locations all over the world.

These wannabe gods have also come a long way in their attempts to artificially control the weather through methods like cloud seeding and chemtrails. And then we have Bill Gates handing out enormous grants to design methods for blocking out the ultraviolet rays of the sun in his misguided efforts to combat mythical “climate change.” Good ol’ Bill Gates, the main funding source for the World Health Organization, better known as the WHO. The artificial health arm of that artificial org is called the United Nations. A group whose very name has to be the greatest oxymoron and misnomer of all time. The group that is attempting to position itself to become all-powerful tyrants over the health of all inhabitants of planet Earth.

Unelected Billionaire Bill, the world’s biggest and most aggressive poison vaccine pusher and buyer of massive amounts of farmland in an attempt to control the ability to grow food naturally.

Bill wants us to eat his factory-produced artificial meat and bugs. And while you and I are dining on bugs, Bill and Klaus will be enjoying filet minion and lobster, followed by the finest brandy and the best cigars. They and their cohorts have the same puffed-up attitude as the pigs that took over the farmhouse in the book Animal Farm by George Orwell.

The pigs enjoyed drinking the farmer’s liquor and smoking his cigars while the other animals struggled to survive. The pigs even hung a sign that said, “All animals are equal, but some are more equal than Others.”

The highly and yet artificially intelligent evil morons of the evil globalist cabal desperately desire to play God and to be God.

They see themselves as a big improvement over the Creator of All Life, and computerized Artificial Intelligence is a huge part of their diabolical plans to put the antichrist in power, to digitally control all buying and selling, implant the “mark of the beast,” and to make war on the saints during the Tribulation time.

Revelation 13:7 “And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them, and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.”

Older people who are still connected to the old ways when things like morals and integrity were a normal aspect of life in Western cultures are in the way of the evil cabal and are impeding the progress of the progressive leftists. The entire remnant church is in their way.

The entire remnant church will someday soon be raptured out of their way along with He who retrains the evil from destroying us all today. The Holy Spirit.

When that happens, the hell that has already broken loose on this earth will greatly intensify, and the antichrist will be welcomed by the godless world as their savior. He will be looked upon as the one who can fix the mess. The one who can bring peace. Godless people who believe in all things artificial will believe in him and will worship him.

The whole charade will be massively artificial.

Between the cruelty that will be meted out by the antichrist through a one-world government and the wrath of God being poured out on a Christ-rejecting unrepentant world, it really will be hell on earth. Jesus said that it would be the worst time ever.

Worse than any time before or after. So bad that were He not to return as prophesied, no flesh would be saved (Matthew 24:22).

There is still good news for those with the eyes to see and the ears to hear.

You and I don’t have to be on Earth during the seven years of tribulation when these things take place.

Any and all who repent of their sins and truly give their lives to Jesus will be spared from the cruel evil that will be mandated upon the world by the antichrist and his mercenaries, and spared from the wrath of God that will bring an end to the antichrist and all of the evil he and his depraved minions have forced upon the earth.

Here are some scriptures of promise:

In 1 Thessalonians 1:10, Paul tells Timothy to wait for God’s Son from heaven, whom He has raised from the dead—Jesus, who rescues us from the coming wrath.”

Romans 9 states, “Since we have now been justified by His blood, how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath through Him.”

1 Thessalonians 5:9 tells us, “For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.”

Revelation 3:10 is where Jesus assures us, “Since you have kept my command to endure patiently, I will also keep you from the hour of trial that is going to come on the whole world to test the inhabitants of the earth.”

There is no need to settle for the artificial because the Holy God, the Creator of the universe, the earth, and all life, is right next to you at all times and just waiting for you to turn in His direction and invite Him into your life.

Romans 10:9-10 teaches how to get started; “If you declare with your mouth ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.”

May God’s righteous will be done,
