Besides the obvious insanity of it all, the very notion that USA gives another country "permission" to commit murder against any other nation is peak arrogance. "Thou shalt not murder.... Unless thy government permits." Truly the whole idea is reprehensible.
Well, considering how many millions of babies that have been murdered, are we really surprised? You’re right! It’s ALL reprehensible! Blessings, Gregory.🙏
Pretty much everything we are against, as moral upright people, has been funded by our tax dollars. I say this in past-tense because I personally believe the stop-cock is fully engaged at this point. Even our “charitable” contributions have quite possibly been spent on efforts to which we are DIAMETRICALLY opposed. Our fake money is still being moved around in various ways to “fund” fake narratives that continue to drain the swamp of their assets (material and “reputational”) A good sound collection of currencies appears to be shaping up to take it’s place. The coming “feature attraction” should be worth the price of admission (one that we have all pre-paid)
There's almost too much chicanery here in the U.S. and there in the rest of the world to sum up the situation in a short and sweet comment. Western marxists are again pulling out all the stops to thwart The Donald, even tempting WW Three. They are psychopaths. They are sociopaths. They are crazy. They eat paint chips. They sniff glue. They count among them Raman Noodle Head! Hahahahaha. This all would be funny if we weren't on the eve of destruction.
Amidst the incessant negative signal generated by the enemies of humanity, permission to strike deep into Russian territory using Atacms missiles being a good example, I must take a breath and remind myself that the Blob is not as powerful as it wants me to believe. Then I pray to He who holds all of the power. The Blob doesn't stand a chance.
Oh my goodness…hard to pick my favorite Take on the news buzz today. I enjoyed them all!!
The DeepState thinks they can poke the Bear into yet another hopeful escalation of the Russia/Ukraine war…which Russia has already won.

The desperation of the DeepState, oh they don’t like the America First mandate!🍿 The days of the DeepState portraying Russia and Iran as the empires of evil are over. The Great Awakening must boggle [their] minds! Enjoying the show!
Okay, maybe I do have a favorite - law enforcement clearly seeing the woman accusing Hegseth as the aggressor, using her charms to entrap a guy having a little too much to drink. F**k the #metoo movement (sincere apologies to you, Margot 🙏❤️) The days of women getting away with this are hopefully coming to an end. Awhile back (I don’t know if it’s still going on) this trend was rampant on university campuses. I recall a few stories of female students threatening a professor with the accusation just to get a better grade. Shameful.
Loved the MAGA Prizefighters piece. Thanks BB ❤️
The week is off to a great start in The Great Awakening 🙏❤️🦅🕊🌎🍿🍿
On the way home from GART, we stopped at a very nice large gas station. Everyone was super friendly, there was even a young woman outside polishing the pump islands. The women’s room was being refurbished and was not “open” since there were workmen adjusting the door. They did not want to let me in at all but I just barged right past and said “I DON’T CARE ABOUT PRIVACY, JUST RELIEF.” Another woman came in as well. We came, we peed, we got the heck out. I had to wait and wait on my husband because there were a bunch of women using the MEN’S room. I commented as we made our way back on to the interstate that I felt sorry for the workmen because men today live in fear of false accusations. We both hoped that problems like that will be going by the wayside very soon. But again, somebody cleaning the gas nozzles!!!! What?
My husband was the victim of false accusations twice, one from his ex-wife who wanted to punish him, and the other from our friend’s daughter. (I had suspected she had a crush on him.). It was terrible for him in both cases and we lost these ‘friends’ we had known for 25 years and travelled thousands of miles with….🙏
I've never received an apology post flagrant accusation. They knew they were lying, and they're scared of consequences so of course they'll never admit being wrong which might invite follow-up questions leading to the obvious source of the issue - it was a lie.
Women live by a totally different standard in USA knowing it or not. I'll be glad when true justice is restored.
The hits keep coming! Thank you BNB team! After all the time you spent this weekend sharing your insights (and listening to ours), to still have fuel in the tanks for today's takes is appreciated!
PS - My quick thoughts, having now seen a representation of this group in person:
I loved that those associated with Badlands Media are far from being in lock-step with each other's perspectives!
And that those discrepancies can even rise to a level of red-faced frustration; but did not deteriorate into pettiness or name-calling (okay there was this one time when...).
And that they respect the insights that we all hold, showing that respect by not only listening to them but delving into the rationales and reasons for them (I know that sounds a bit odd - as in "well, of course they do" - but if you are familiar with most communities you will grasp the value of the distinction I am pointing out). These were not lectures (okay there was this one time when...), these were panel-led forums requiring only slightly more oversight than this forum here.
In all: my experience relieved me of the concern that my (and your) opinions were unnecessary, unappreciated, or even unwelcome. And that dynamic was as effectual with the people around the tables at which I sat as it was by those panel members who introduced the various topics.
PPS - thanks to all the commenters here for listening!
You’ve pointed out the rational approach this group demonstrated in contrast with the emotionally-driven petulant children’s approach we see all over our culture. The key thing here, as important as the rest of your comment, is that this is the next generation!! God is truly good and we see the evidence that the next generation will carry on!🙏🙏
Just this morning I was thinking about how intolerance replaced respectful debate. Intolerance became an epidemic and pushed extreme censorship as the “cure”. The Censorship Cartel vs the First Amendment. Hopefully the Awakening is restoring common sense and seeing the utter fallacy of the leftists wanting the “right” while denying the same “right” to anyone who disagreed.
IMO i first noted this will Bill O'Reilly's horrible arrogance back in the 90s. I'm sure he wasn't the only one or first one who platformed on disrespect, but it definitely left the door wide open. In fact all of it may have been inspired by Geraldo and Jerry Springer shows. Just this gross appeal to the basest forms of discussion...
I never liked Bill O’Reilly for the same reasons. And Geraldo, same category. I haven’t missed Fox at all since the election was stolen in 2020. Yay for the alternative media growing more mainstream every day. Just downloaded Truth+ for my phone and tv. Caught a documentary on Elon Musk, and a short 12 min movie rendition of Elvis when he was 11 yrs old and discovered he liked the guitar better than his cowboy guns and holsters. True story. I’ll be checking it out more in the evenings ahead
Well... so much for a peaceful transition. The signal to me is that the Deep State's playback is on it's last chapter, evidenced in part by the rinse and repeat Russian Asset narrative. The DS is horrible a poker player... too many "tells." Seditious acts are being committed by and under this regime. The statute of limitations clock is ticking. I ate paint chips and sniffed glue as a kid... and I feel fine... I think.
Ann Selzer was humiliated, and rightly so because she's a dishonest, partisan hack who would sell what little integrity she has for a few dollars. She's typical of most pollsters.
—Guess they gave up on the riots, etc. (for now) here, and decided to go the WWIII route. This is likely where the close relationship between Trump and Putin will matter. Reminds me of the famous back channel relationships Tom Clancy wrote about in his novels….(BTW: there were many reasons a novelist testified to Congress…that back story would be interesting.)
—The absolutely best thing about selecting outsiders is that those people will NOT follow the cabal’s rules here. Bravo.👏
—No one that matters believes any of the false narratives against the cabinet nominees; nor do we believe that the ‘shadow’ government’ is going anywhere, even if the London branch of the cabal is involved. London… ‘It’s another form of checks and balances — a quiet guardrail that keeps power accountable.’ Well, THAT’s unconstitutional, evidence of the cabal, and treasonous, too. Hmmm….except to accelerate further exposure?🤔. Ghost!!👏👏. Leverage rocks.
—Fearless Tiger gets to the core, ‘Instead, we're seeing the public translation of one of the greatest stories ever told to all layers of the American Mind.’ Now, the ‘actions speak louder than words’ phase begins.
—The cabal’s minions truly are stuck in the same old playbook…from the stale ‘Tulsi is a Russian agent’ to the escalating threat of the intelligence community’s personally created terrorist groups in the Middle East to Israel’s so-called defensive (but in actuality offensive) attacks on Gaza, Syria and Lebanon.
—No, Ghost, I do not believe in coincidences, neither did the writers of the Q plan…’The stage is set for a battle of Biblical proportions, in a theater that is Biblical in its history.’
—Treasonous generals might be the first to face justice via military tribunals. This is a great start as they were personally and professionally charged (and took an oath) to protect and defend our constitutional republic from enemies’ foreign invasion and internal traitors.
God mercifully gifted many for this war and on Nov 5th, a battle win. Now we must not waste his mercy. We have MUCH to be thankful for next week. God bless the warriors!🙏🙏
I'd forgotten about the nuclear scare...I also believe it's necessary to push a rude Awakening to those remaining sleepers. There's still alot to remove, but I'm conconfident they have it handled, it's the liberals that are brainwashed I'm concerned about. But hey discipline is love...
A/o recall pic of Kim Jong Un galloping on horseback alongside bare-chested Putin atop a huge menacing bear? Did Dana White's UFC event feature any Russian or NorK fighters? Vivek, Bobby & Tulsi are articulating clear intelligent reasons why DS must be eliminated. No deals. No negotiating. Get out the Marines & the napalm. Does Pretty Boy w/ Tats know how to get this shit done?
I remember the images of Putin riding a bear! I loved those images. Bear is one of my spirit animals. I had a very calm encounter with a large male black bear once…15 feet away. I stepped out my door onto the deck, looked up and saw him. I said, “What are you doing here?” He sat down, just looked at me for a few moments then got up and walked off. It was a thrill.
I think the whole Ukraine Russia Biden and shooting long range missles...is ALL POSTURING. Neither Zelensky or Putin are going to WW3 when they know Biden Administration is impotent and Trump is coming in Jan. That's my 2 cents.
The subject of the Act of 1871 seems to have disappeared. But, I am fascinated by what can be learned about that period in our history and how it affects what we are witnessing right now.
Did you know the price of Gold actually dropped below the price of Silver as the glut from the discoveries in California hit our markets? But then, following the Civil War Gold sold for a 25 to 45% premium over the price you could get an ounce of Gold at the bank? A double-eagle coin was worth $20.67 because our government set the price of Gold. But, people were actually paying up to $1.45 for a Gold backed dollar! Why? That is what is important.
The $1.45 was being offered in greenback dollars, not Gold backed dollars. Greenback dollars were fiat dollars created during the Civil War to finance the North. They were backed by nothing but debt…just like our dollars today. The Civil War created an entirely new concept of just printing paper dollars without Gold backing. Republicans did it to win the war because there was no Gold left to fund the war, and California was minting their own Gold in San Francisco. The South was still mining it’s own Gold, but the North had no Gold mines that I know of.
In 1869 there was a Gold panic that was created by the greenback depreciation…which was actually the inflation of the value of Gold based on the Greenback. The bankers who helped create the greenback decided to corner the Gold market by manipulating the price. And it worked because our government was using our Gold reserves to control the price. If Gold dropped, the Treasury bought and as Gold went too high they sold. But, as citizens took Gold out of their banks using Gold backed dollars, the Treasury had to give more Gold to the banks and the Treasury stopped doing that. They refused to deplete the reserves any farther and President Grant informed the banks.
The banks, knowing their Gold supply was limited, began to demand more greenbacks for every Gold dollar and the price kept going higher and higher. The bankers quickly drove the price to $1.62 and the stock market crashed! That was the first Black Friday no one hears about. It was September 24, 1869.
The Treasury changed their mind at the instruction of U. S. Grant and they released enough Gold to stop the collapse, but it left our Treasury very short of any backing for any dollar, fiat or Gold backed.
This event is what I believe led America to agree to the 1871 Treaty that bailed us out of Bankruptcy. But, I also believe the rationale behind our fiat currency today came from what was learned from our bankers in 1861. The lesson was, Gold is not as versatile as greenbacks which may just be printed and backed by debt. The key is to get America to buy the story! So, over time they must just make Gold disappear. And they did.
I think we are witnessing a reversal of the Act of 1871 as Dr. Jan reported. But, the bigger story is right there in our history two years earlier and I do not think anyone is being told the background. I am trying to help by refusing to stop looking back to understand the truth. And our future!
“Oh wow. Tell me more about your seditious plans to subvert a duly elected President, prevent his government from functioning, and effectively overthrow it?”
never stop your enemy when he is making a mistake.
also, when someone tells you what they intend to do, believe them and prepare accordingly.
Besides the obvious insanity of it all, the very notion that USA gives another country "permission" to commit murder against any other nation is peak arrogance. "Thou shalt not murder.... Unless thy government permits." Truly the whole idea is reprehensible.
Imagine if neighborhoods operated like this.
Well, considering how many millions of babies that have been murdered, are we really surprised? You’re right! It’s ALL reprehensible! Blessings, Gregory.🙏

Yes, I believe organizations like the Red Cross and others are bad actors.

And DWS is concerned about ethics?!?!?!
Lord give me strength!
and Jamie Raskin is worried about the qualifications of the president? How qualified is Jill Biden?
That vile little familiar — and a particularly icky one — has a closet overflowing with skeletons. Tip the latch & stand back —
Well said Jeff!
Paint chips!😂😂😁

Potiphar’s wife. Old story. That must havr been crushing.
It is very common. Backtracking from the accusations seems to be very infrequent, and the harm done to the accused immeasurable

Did I meet you? If your tag said “His Glorious Victory,” I don’t believe I did, as I would have recognized you immediately!
I am sure I would have recognized you as well - and deeply regret that I missed the opportunity to meet you...there is always Plymouth 😉.
As for my name tag - I erred in not including the name you all would have recognized...lesson learned!

My entire family either hate Trump or are staunch liberals. This is going to be a tragically somber Thanksgiving.
Just love ‘em up! No politics. Just Christ’s love.
Welcome back, glad everyone made it home safe.
God Wins!
