The same basket of goods nearly quadrupled in price in just two years!!
We need more people to run this same exercise and share your videos.

CHILLS ✝️
On September 25, 2000, 19-year-old Kevin Hines attempted to end his own life by jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge. Plunging over 220 feet at a speed of 75 miles per hour, he hit the water below, shattering three of his vertebrae and narrowly missing severing his spine by two millimeters. Despite the odds, he miraculously survived the impact.
Upon realizing he was still alive, an intense will to live surged within him. Yet, the weight of his clothes continuously pulled him beneath the surface of San Francisco Bay. For what seemed like an eternity, he struggled to resurface briefly, gasping for air, just enough to hold on to life.
Suddenly, he felt an unusual force from below lifting him above the water's surface, where he remained until the Coast Guard arrived. It was only later that he discovered the mysterious presence keeping him afloat: a sea lion had been supporting his body until the rescue boat arrived, as eyewitnesses had observed.
His story gained major media coverage and he has since become a motivational speaker and advocate for suicide prevention.
Slavery facts they don’t teach:
Slavery existed all over the world across all cultures for thousands of years
Europe was the first continent to ban it
1,250,000 white people were kidnapped & sold to North Africa as slaves
20,000 black slaves were owned by free blacks in America
Slavery still exists in Africa and Asia

I’ve kept an eye on this Israel situation for the past few days.
Here’s what I’ve learned, & here are my blunt & honest thoughts:
1. Israel chose to ignore intelligence from Egyptian officials about a major attack coming from Hamas.
2. Multiple former IDF soldiers & Israeli intelligence personnel have come forward online and said there’s a zero percent chance Israel was unaware of this attack beforehand or couldn’t have prevented it.
3. We just watched unsophisticated terrorists on hang gliders soar into one of the most heavily-defended & surveilled countries on the planet.
4. Within 48 hours of the attack, we’re now suddenly seeing enormous support for an American war with Iran and the genocide of the Palestinian people.
I’m witnessing American pastors and formerly level-headed influencers in our world completely lose their minds and call for genocide.
It’s unsurprising, but insane to watch.
If the events of the past three years have taught me anything, it’s that when people get whipped into an emotional frenzy, critical thinking completely goes out the window.
People become highly suggestible and will rush to extremely dangerous conclusions without thinking about the consequences.
I think this is what we’re all witnessing with this situation in Israel.
I’m reminded of Pearl Harbor and 9/11.
In both scenarios, the American government received intelligence in advance of the attacks, but chose not to prevent the attacks.
Why?
The American government was willing to sacrifice the lives of American citizens in order to advance its geopolitical goals.
Pearl Harbor gave the justification to enter WWII.
9/11 gave justification to invade the Middle East & drastically expand the American military industrial complex & our surveillance apparatus.
They were brutal & extremely traumatic events for the American public to witness. The emotional trauma caused people to get whipped into an emotional frenzy.
America wanted ONE THING in response to these attacks:
The blood of our enemies.
I see the same psyop playing out now.
People are whipped into a frenzied bloodlust.
In their frenzied bloodlust, people are overlooking some SERIOUSLY important facts here, notably:
1. The fact that none of this adds up,
2. innocent civilians are being threatened with genocide, and
3. Escalated violence in the Middle East and a war with Iran both risk ***the rest of the planet getting dragged into WWIII.***
What happened in Israel this weekend was obviously gut-wrenching and awful to witness, but I do not trust Israel’s so-called “intelligence failure”, nor do I trust the snakes in Washington calling for war with Iran, & I sure as hell no longer trust any of the emotionally-frenzied influencers calling for explicit genocide of innocent civilians.
This was a defining moment in history, similar to Pearl Harbor, 9/11, COVID, the beginning of the Ukraine war, etc, and a lot of people just got played.
Hard.
People responded by going full mask-off, exposing themselves as reckless & incapable of exercising sound judgment in moments of chaos and heightened emotion.
And we’re now at the brink of WWIII because of it.
This is all worth noting.
There’s a high likelihood there will be more chaos throughout the rest of this decade.
There will be more psychological operations.
There will be more moments in time in which cooler heads ought to prevail, but people will get whipped into an emotional frenzy instead.
Keep your wits about you, & be cautious in whom you allow yourself to be influenced by.
Recognize that governments & intelligence agencies spend enormous resources waging psychological operations on social media nonstop when stuff like this goes down.
Remember that when chaos is at its peak, history shows there is ALMOST ALWAYS a hidden agenda being played out, & that hidden agenda is ALWAYS designed to prey on our base emotions to facilitate a desired end-result.
Pray for world peace tonight.
Thanks. 🤙
I am having my doubts about the narrative with Hamas and Israel.
That border is one of the most heavily defended on the planet with cameras everywhere. Are you telling me that Hamas got hundreds of soldiers thru that border with no military response from Israel for hours? And they took Israeli hostages and returned to Gaza?
Did perhaps certain people in the Israeli government also want this to happen so they could get a war started?
Every American should read this post mortem on Afghanistan. And every American politician —Republican and Democrat — and every Pentagon panjandrum who supported this catastrophe should hang their heads in shame. We learned nothing from Vietnam. The definition of insanity is repeating the same mistake again and again, and expecting different results. By this definition, the entire retinue of American leadership is insane. This observation answers the question “What on earth are we doing in Ukraine?”: The inmates are running the asylum.
I turned 25 today. It was my “plan” to be married by 22 and have my first child by 25, but here I am—single for over 8 years. I have always prayed to the Lord about becoming a wife and I’ve been praying for my future husband since I was a child. So I’ve wondered: Have I missed something? Has God forgotten me? Absolutely not.
I prayed a very specific prayer related to becoming a wife around 18 and God has remained faithful in answering it; I credit Him for protecting me from situations that I have no idea I could’ve been apart of had I not prayed that specific prayer.
I’ve spent my singleness living my life to the fullest—at least I’ve tried to; I don’t think that I’m doing a horrible job of it. When I was 20, I became a doula. When I was 21, I started my first business. When I was 22, I moved to Spain for 6 months and did a little bit of travel around Europe. I don’t think that I’ve missed something—I think that God is sovereign and has continually protected me in several aspects. He is faithful: that’s who He is.
I think that as Christians, especially Christian singles, we can start freaking out about who we’re going to marry and when, because it’s something that, frankly, we think about all the time. Trust me, I know. It’s especially hard when your friends are getting married and having babies. I attended a lot of weddings last year.
Throughout my early and mid 20s, I’ve learned that I’d rather have God’s protection than my perception of what is best for me. He knows what’s best for me, and it’s greater than my wildest dreams. We have to learn to trust the season that we’re in, but also, we have to learn to be responsible on our own part so that we’re able to steward the gifts that we’ve been praying for.
I never imagined that I’d be single for 8 going on 9 years when I was in high school, but I’m grateful, because God’s hand is all over my life. If you’re single and having a hard time dealing with it and dating seems impossible, know that you’re not alone, and that if you’re obedient to God, if you’re are staying involved in community and if you are waking with Jesus every day, you’re doing the right thing.
Can a woman forget her nursing child,
and not have compassion
on the son of her womb?
Surely they may forget,
Yet I will not forget you.
