Also you already tacked me up on a cross about 2000 years ago. I'm not here to be your sacrifice again. Then the Vatican replaced me with that fraud Poseidon. I know all about the blonde fraud shroom selling Maserati salesman.
General Washington really was chosen to lead our nation by a higher power. Even the Native Americans knew it.
This painting of Gen Washington at Valley Forge, praying for guidance when the fight for America's independence seemed lost. The painting was from the brutal winter of 1777-1778. The "fragile army" of colonists needed to fight to make the independence from Britain declared on July 4th, 1776, stick. The problem was they were freezing to death, without winter clothing, many without shoes.
In July 1755, a 23-year-old Washington escaped a harrowing death at the Battle of Monongahela, when he was shot by an expert marksman and survived. In a letter to his younger brother John the future first president wrote, "By the all-powerful dispensations of Providence, I have been protected beyond all human probability and expectations; for I had 4 bullets through my coat, and 2 horses shot out from under me, yet escaped unhurt, although death was leveling my companions on every side." He then realized God had saved him for a reason.
Years later, before Washington became president, an Indian chief who was at the battle asked to be brought to Washington. He said, "Sir, I just needed to meet you because I am an expert marksman and I shot you 17 times and my men shot you, and pretty soon I told them to stop wasting their bullets, because this is a man who is protected by the great spirit above. I just wanted to see you before I died, knowing you will become the father of a great nation." This used to be in all the history books.
Put American history back in our classroom so that our children will know what our forefathers did to leave a godfilled legacy for us!๐บ๐ธ

"He was a Rhodes Scholar. An Army Ranger. A helicopter pilot. A janitor. And then, one afternoon in 1969, he landed a helicopter in Johnny Cash's backyard with a demo tape in his hand and changed country music forever. This is the life of Kris Kristofferson.
Kristoffer Kristofferson was born on June 22, 1936, in Brownsville, Texas a border town where, he would later say, he learned to speak Spanish before English. His father was an Air Force major general. His grandfather had been an officer in the Royal Swedish Army. His brother became a naval aviator. The expectation in the Kristofferson household was never a question. You served. You sacrificed. You followed the line.
Kris followed it and then blew it up entirely.
At Pomona College in California, he was a Golden Gloves boxer, a rugby standout, and a straight-A student of creative literature. In 1958, at age 22, he won a Rhodes Scholarship to Oxford University in England, where he studied the works of William Blake and wrote fiction seriously enough to publish short stories while still a student. He graduated in 1960 with a master's degree in English literature.
He came home, married his sweetheart, joined the Army, and trained as a Ranger. He became a helicopter pilot. He served in West Germany. He volunteered for Vietnam. The Army said no โ and instead offered him something that sounded like a dream: a professorship teaching English literature at West Point.
He said no thank you.
1965. He is 29 years old. He resigns his Army commission 2 weeks before he is supposed to report to West Point. His parents are furious. His marriage begins to crack. He packs up and drives to Nashville, Tennessee, with nothing but songs in his head and a name nobody there has heard.
Here is what most people don't know: for more than 4 years, Kris Kristofferson is invisible.
He works as a bartender. A construction worker. A railroad hand. He gets a job sweeping floors and emptying ashtrays at Columbia Recording Studios โ the same building where Bob Dylan is cutting Blonde on Blonde just down the hall. He sees Johnny Cash in the corridors. Cash nods at him the way you nod at a janitor. He tries to slip Cash his demo tapes. Cash brings them home to his property on Old Hickory Lake in Hendersonville, Tennessee โ and, according to Cash himself, throws most of them into the lake.
For extra income, Kristofferson takes a weekend job with the Tennessee National Guard, flying helicopters. During the week, he works oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico for Petroleum Helicopters International in Lafayette, Louisiana โ flying workers out to the platforms, writing songs on top of the rig at night, then driving back to Nashville on weekends to pitch them around town.
Nothing sticks. He enters his 30s. His parents consider him a failure. His marriage ends in 1969.
And then, sometime in 1969, Kris Kristofferson makes a decision that only a man with nothing left to lose could make.
He deviates from his National Guard flight plan, points the helicopter toward Hendersonville, and sets it down in Johnny Cash's backyard.
Cash later told the story this way: June Carter looked out the window and said, ""Some fool has landed a helicopter in our yard. They used to come from the road. Now they're coming from the sky."" Kristofferson himself said it differently โ he remembers Cash wasn't even home when he landed. Either way, the stunt works. Cash finally pays attention.
1970. Cash records ""Sunday Morning Coming Down."" A song about waking up after a hard night with nothing and no one. It goes to number 1 on the Billboard Country chart. When Cash performs it on his ABC television show that June, network executives demand he change the word ""stoned"" in the lyric ""wishing, Lord, that I was stoned."" Cash refuses. He performs it exactly as Kristofferson wrote it.
In October 1970, the Country Music Association names ""Sunday Morning Coming Down"" Song of the Year. Kristofferson accepts the award in jeans โ at a ceremony where everyone else is in formal wear. A Rhodes Scholar and Army Ranger, standing at the podium in denim, winning country music's highest songwriting honor for a song about wishing you were stoned on a Sunday morning.
In 1971, Janis Joplin's recording of his ""Me and Bobby McGee"" โ a song he had written while flying above oil rigs in the Gulf โ hits number 1 on the pop charts. Posthumously. She had died of a heroin overdose in October 1970, just before it was released. Kristofferson and Joplin had been close. He would say later that when he first heard her version of the song, he could not even listen all the way through.
That same year, Sammi Smith's recording of his ""Help Me Make It Through the Night"" wins a Grammy. He is named Songwriter of the Year. He had written 3 of the biggest songs in America โ while working a helicopter gig to pay his rent.
He goes on to act in more than 50 films. He wins a Golden Globe for A Star Is Born alongside Barbra Streisand in 1976. He forms the Highwaymen supergroup in 1985 with Cash, Willie Nelson, and Waylon Jennings. He is inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1985. The Country Music Hall of Fame in 2004.
Kris Kristofferson died peacefully at home on September 28, 2024, at age 88. His family signed their statement: ""When you see a rainbow, know he's smiling down on us all."""
@giveashitnature Turns out God created a perfect system for us to thrive in. Wildflowers look beautiful and keep your harvest safe from bugs and will do so naturally on its own. Man assumes he knows best and dumps chemicals that he has to pay for on his food.
Swiss farmers planted flowers between their crops and watched pest damage drop by over half. The UK is now running the same trial across 15 farms. The reason this works is embarrassingly simple.
A Swiss study on winter wheat found that fields with wildflower strips had 40 to 53% fewer leaf beetle pests than fields without. Crop damage dropped 61%.
The mechanism is simple. Wildflowers feed hoverflies, lacewings, parasitic wasps, ladybugs, and ground beetles. Those insects eat the aphids, beetle larvae, and caterpillars that farmers would otherwise spray for. A few meters of wildflowers hosts an unpaid pest control crew that would jump at the chance to whoop some aphid ass.
In apple orchards where no insecticides had been used for five years, plots with wildflower alleyways had 9.2% damaged fruit. Control plots without flowers had 32.5%.
The UK is now running a five-year trial across 15 farms placing 6-meter flower strips through the middle of fields, not just at the edges, because the beneficial insects can't reach the center of a large field otherwise.
This works the same way in a backyard vegetable garden as it does on a commercial farm. Plant native flowering species near your tomatoes, beans, and squash. The pests still show up, but the predators show up too.
