Democrat House Falling Down Around Them As Biden Looses Support

The self called master negotiator, Pelosi, failed and is losing control of the Democrat party.

Pelosi, ruled from her position of Speaker of the House, has used her pulpit to rule with an iron fist. Those Days may be all over for Speaker Nancy Pelosi as it appears with her latest stunt that shows she can not “negotiate” any deal with her own Democratic party, but appears to have lost control over her own caucus ranks.

Pelosi struggled to keep the party from splintering into two sides as she failed miserably to secure the needed votes to support the Infrastructure bill.

Pelosi could not control the radical progressive caucus members sending a defeated signal to the White House that ultimately hurts Biden’s agenda and at this point and time Biden desperately needs to get these 2 bills being passed.

The Infrastructure bill including the Build Back Better Socialism reconciliation bill was what Biden was counting on so that he could lay claim that it was the greatest thing for America and that it was him who pushed it through.

But that did not happen at all.

Now the political landscape for Joe Biden is making a horrible nightmare for the “Build Back Better,” Dementia Joe Biden.

The White House has become horrified as the Biden support is now “hemorrhaging” to such a degree that the Democrats have become splintered in multiple factions.

Such has never been in the history of the United States.

In a new poll, it revealed that Joe Biden’s approval rating sits below 50%. among the demographic critical to Joe Biden, getting a second term would be the independent voters. In this category, Joe Biden has slipped down 25 points and among fellow democrats that in the past supported Biden lock stop and barrel, of those, Biden has lost 15 points dropping his approval rating below 43% of Democrat voters.

Biden is solely to blame for his deceitful woes. He himself is the reason for the country becoming a hot mess.

Massive legislative failures on Capital Hill that are destroying any confidence in Joe Biden by his own rank and file.

COVID-19 deranged pushed for mass forced vaccinations and mask wearing based on Dr. Fauci’s continual lies, has plummeted Joe Biden’s approval rating nationwide even among Democrats and progressives.

Biden’s border crisis reached an all-time high.

Biden runs from the issue as the problematic crisis has gotten out of control.

Americans nationwide in both parties Democrat and Republican, including Independent conservatives and even liberals, echo a horrified disaster chorus Joe Biden created.

The self-inflicted death wounds of the Afghanistan withdrawal showed the world that Biden is “NO Commander-in-Chief,” but just a dumb demented old man who needs to be locked away for his own safety.

Joe Biden’s support is hemorrhaging, his political days are now numbered and the White House is worried everything is falling down around them, thanks to Dementia Joe Biden.

When Hollywood Hypocrites Preach To The American Church

This Is What You Get!
“Growing up with a preacher as a father, Denzel Washington went to church every
Sunday, he told GQ. He’s been going to the same church for 30 years, and he reads the
Bible every day. In a 2015 commencement address, he told the grads of Dillard
University to ‘put God first in everything you do’.”

Who has preached through his actions to the world as much as Denzel Washington, a self-
professed Christian, as to how to commit adultery, fornication, murder-gun violence, lying, stealing, drinking,
swearing, etc. (1 John 3:4)? And friends, Denzel is just the tip of this hypocrisy when it comes to the lot in Hollywood.

Chris Pratt, Tom Hanks, Mark Wahlberg, Brad Paisley, Dwayne Johnson, Charlie Sheen,
Bono, Larry Flynt, Whitney Houston, Kevin Costner, etc… And the list of hypocrites goes on, and on, and on (Matthew 23:3).

Let’s get back to Denzel Washington and listen to what he had to say when preaching to the
Amercan church goers who just have not taken the time to read the Word of God for themselves (John 7:17).

Anti-Christ Ben Shapiro’s Daily Wire reports:
Denzel Washington Advises Crowd At Christian Event To ‘Stay On Your Knees,’ Says ‘Strength and Leadership’ Are Part Of God’s Role For Men

Denzel Washington has long been one of the rare outspoken Christians in Hollywood. On
Saturday, he once again shared his faith in explicit terms.
As first reported in The Christian Post, the two-time Oscar winner was a featured speaker at the
“Better Man Event” — a religious convention hosted by First Baptist Orlando in Florida.
There he told the crowd of fathers, sons, and husbands, “The world has changed. What is our role as a man?
The John Wayne formula is not quite a fit right now. But strength, leadership, power, authority, guidance, patience are God’s gift to us as men. We have to cherish that, not abuse it.”

Washington also shared some advice for men seeking success: “Stay on your knees. “Stay on your knees.

Watch me but listen to God,” he said, adding, “I hope that the words in my mouth and the meditation of my heart are pleasing in God’s sight, but I’m human. I’m just like you. What I have will not keep me on this Earth for one more day.

Share what you know, inspire who you can, seek advice. If you want to talk to one someone, talk to the one that can do something about it. Constantly develop those habits.”

What I have will not keep me on this Earth for one more day. Share what you know, inspire who you can, seek advice. If you want to talk to one someone, talk to the one that can do something about it.

Constantly develop those habits.

In conclusion: Denzel said. “Stay on your knees. Watch me but listen to God.” He add, “I hope that the words in my mouth and the meditation of my heart are pleasing in God’s sight, but I’m human.”

Watch me, but listen to God? If people were listening to God, they would not be watching
Denzel or any others when it comes to these hypocrites (Titus 1:16).
These in Hollywood are exhibiting a lack of Christianity (1 John 2:4), and remember that no
one rebuked the religious hypocrites more than Jesus Christ Himself (John 7:7)

What? Watch me but don’t do as I do? Jesus rebukes these hypocrites in Matthew 23:23, and so should you (2 Timothy 2:15)!

Untraceable Ghost Gun Found In Stolen RV

North Hollywood: On September 29, 2021, around 8:00 a.m., North Hollywood Area officers were investigating community complaints of illegal parking in the area of Cahuenga Boulevard and Califa Street.

The officers observed a motor-home parked on the street without license plates and a covered vehicle identification number (VIN). Officers spoke with the occupant, 31-year-old Ryan Andres, and obtained the VIN and conducted a record’s check which revealed that the motor-home was stolen. Ryan Andres was detained for a stolen vehicle investigation and subsequent probation violation.

Further investigation led to the recovery of narcotics and a ghost gun. Ryan Andres was arrested and booked for 29800(A)(1) p.c. “Possession of a Firearm by a Convicted Felon.”

On September 30, 2021, Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office filed one count of “Possession of a Firearm by a Convicted Felon,” and one count of “Possession of an Assault Weapon,” case no. LA098604.

Deputy Chief Alan Hamilton added “The men and women of Operations-Valley Bureau are committed to reducing incidents of violence by removing firearms from prohibited possessors in all our valley neighborhoods and communities.”

Say No to Forced Vaccine Shots

Dear Elected Official,

As one of your constituents, I wish to express to you my extreme desire to be in control of my own Pursuit of Happiness in my healthcare as promised to me by the US Constitution and by our own State Constitution.

We in this country are not, by definition, experiencing an emergency ‘pandemic.’ Many sources have exposed that the ‘statistics’ have been altered and skewed. The ailment, while serious, is 98% survivable. The ‘shots’ whether the inoculation, or gene therapy, or immunizations however, have extremely serious side affects and have caused death and permanent injury in too many. The choice of my healthcare decisions are and should remain between me and my physician. This current situation is mostly propaganda and inflated fear mongering.

The underhanded ‘control’ sought by some government officials by way of ‘mandates’ and ‘expulsion’ from work are heinous in nature and evil. The tactics being used today were also used by the Nazis to remove the Jews and political opponents from society; ultimately to murder them.

By denying state and federal employees their highly skilled positions, not only are you destroying their means of their pursuit of happiness by forcing them to be unemployed and their family by extension. In addition, you are – by severely under-staffing hospitals and other care facilities – denying those who seek help there.

Yes, this latest illness is serious. Yes, information on this latest illness is still vastly unknown. Yes, we have wonderful therapeutics that work (many of which are being denied to people for a more expensive, more dangerous option which in its disclaimer alerts to causing renal failure.) Yes, this is a highly contagious virus for which we do NOT have real cure NOR preventative. None of these ‘shots’ prevent the illness and there is LITTLE to NO data that they have any affect on the course of the virus, only hearsay.

Why then are you forcing the opinions from the one or two ‘developers’ of medication upon us? They have fortunes to gain and may not have the public’s best welfare in their sights.

While we still have a free Republic, We the People will fight for our freedom from tyranny.

Winning The Un-Winnable War

By Marc Kelley

For many of us, the past year and a half have been filled with feelings ranging from anxiety, fear, and anger, to sadness, grief, and disbelief. We are constantly bombarded by conflicting information which appears more like propaganda than news. Our politicians have seized upon COVID-19, an opportunity to enact ever increasing limitations on our freedom and liberty. The Fake News media has become nothing short of an echo chamber for the Marxists who hate America and believe the will of the American People can be bent to serve the self-described elite, and their sanctimonious lifestyles. Yet, these actions are taken without regard for the history of America and the people who have fought for the country they love so much.

This past weekend we held our Fall Swap Meet, invited our friends, customers and all of like-mind who appreciate the freedoms we hold so dear. In what the media would describe as a selfish act by the irresponsible underclass, turned out to be something very special…A celebration of the American People. People, young and old, of all colors and races, some wearing masks and still others choosing to go without. Many in attendance were vaccinated, yet again, still others who have for their own reasons, chose not to get the vaccine.

We gathered as family and friends, respecting one another’s
decision’s. There were no outbreaks of violence, loud arguments, or profanity laced cries of racism and accusations of killing Grandma. Perhaps this is true because of the Montana belief carrying firearms makes for more polite behavior, or possibly it was the notion, we believe we are smart enough to make our own decisions, and willingly accept the responsibility for our own actions. Regardless of their motivation, those who attended the happenings last weekend expressed first hand the rights and freedoms guaranteed to us by the Constitution of the United States.

The liberals call us rednecks, irredeemable, and simple minded. Yet it is this very characterization which will be the left’s undoing. Our history is filled with stories of great people, who chose to stand up against tyranny and oppression… risking everything. Dr. Martin Luther King, marched defiantly against overwhelming odds, waging a battle he was told was “un-winnable.” Even though Dr. King was struck down by a sniper’s bullet, his dream that one day his children would live in a land where they would be judged not by the color of their skin, but rather the content of their character, continues to resonate across our great land.

In the 1860’s, Harriet Tubman, a conductor on the Underground Railroad escaped slavery herself; yet, returned many times to slave holding states, personally leading over 300 people to freedom. Tubman stood but 5’ tall, yet she was a hard woman, strong in both character and in will. She was never without the pistol she trusted with her life, and for the safety of her passengers. If anyone became too scared to continue north and wanted to turn back, Tubman would pull her gun, giving the passenger a choice, “live free or die a slave”. Tubman made seventeen trips on the railroad, earning her the title “The Moses of Her People.” Harriet Tubman was never captured, and is credited with saying, “ On my railroad, I never run my train off the track, and I ain’t never lost a passenger.

To all of those who attended last weekend’s event, I would like to not only say thank you for stopping by, but acknowledge your courage and your spirit. We together, sent a message, not simply with words, but with our actions. American’s have been fighting un-winnable wars since the beginning of our existence; yet, here we stand, our heads bloodied, but unbowed.
