Short Takes...

I'm not sure we should be applauding this latest announcement between the DHS and the IRS pertaining to the sharing of information on illegal immigrants. Freedom-loving Americans didn't like it when Obama weaponized the IRS against his critics. We didn't like it when O'Biden did the same thing. Now we have the DHS and the IRS making a formal agreement on the pretext of keeping Americans safe. I don't buy it. This is setting a precedence that you can rest assured the U.S. Government will expand on exponentially in short order.
Right now, this agreement is (allegedly) for the purpose of locating people who are in this country illegally so that they can be deported. This will help keep Americans safe, they claim. So, sure, that's all fine and dandy as long as "your guy" is in charge. What about when he is replaced with "their guy"? What about when "their guy" and his cronies decide to pick a new "public enemy" that needs to be rooted out to "keep Americans safe"? Bible-believing Christians could easily find themselves in the crosshairs. If you've been paying attention at all over the past decade, it's impossible not to have noticed how the mainstream media portrays Christians as hateful, dangerous bigots. What happens when "your guy" is out and "their guy" is in? The IRS could be very helpful in locating all those dangerous Christian hooligans by providing information on itemized tax filings showing donations to Christian-related 501(c)3 organizations. That would be handy to whichever alphabet agency is selected to round them up.
Don't be naive. A foundation is being laid with this newly announced collaboration between the DHS and the IRS. A formal precedence has been set. Targets will be determined by the agenda, not a desire to "protect" the American people.

Am I the only one who sees the upcoming planned sinking of the SS United States as a highly prophetic event???

President Trump's Press Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, delivered his official explanation regarding the "mysterious" drones that have been hovering over New Jersey and other locations in America since (at least that we know of) November 2024. Here is a transcript of what she said:
"And before I turn to questions, I do have news directly from the president of the United States that was just shared with me in the Oval Office from President Trump directly, an update on the New Jersey drones. After research and study the drones that were flying over New Jersey in large numbers were authorized to be flown by the FAA for research and various other reasons. Many of these drones were also hobbyists, recreational and private individuals that enjoy flying drones. In time, it got worse due to curiosity. This was not the enemy -- a statement from the president of the United States to start this briefing with some news. And with that, I will turn it over to questions."
In reading the comment sections of various "news" articles reporting on this highly anticipated explanation of the strange presence in the skies, I was struck by the eagerness of Trump supporters to simply accept this non-answer as an answer, without question! It seems as if the majority of responses could be summed up as, "Well, that clears it up! Whew! Why didn't Biden just say so. Thank God Trump is here to keep the American public fully informed. In fact, thank God that Trump is here to save us all!" If the Biden administration had provided that exact same answer, verbatim, Trump's voter base would have come unglued over it, while the Bidenites would have eagerly accepted it without question. But, since that non-answer came from Trump's admin, well, like I said, that just clears it all up for his supporters. Nothing to see here. Move along people...
No information was provided about who is conducting research or what kind of research is being done that requires these drones to hover above American cities under the cover of darkness. No indication whatsoever was provided with regard to what the "various other reasons" may be. Furthermore, let's not skip over the fact that the non-answer very slyly threw blame onto the American public by stating, "...it got worse due to curiosity." Translation, "You ridiculous, silly people, you created a big to-do over nothing by wondering what large drones were doing hovering just above your city and your family. Seriously, children, go back to your X-box and social media feed and let us really smart people take care of everything. Run along now. Daddy Trump's got your back."
Do not overlook President Trump's reassurance that it "was not the enemy". Really? Hmmm... I think that kind of depends on who one recognizes as the enemy...
Folks, do not close your eyes in blind trust with regard to President Trump or any other person or party. Jesus clearly warned us in Matthew 24 not to allow anyone to deceive us. His repeated warnings about deception made it clear that deception is one if the key hallmarks of the end days. It should have been understood all along that if the U.S. Government did not want those drones in the sky, they would not be in the sky. To simply accept a non-explanation as an explanation solely because it came from "your guy" is setting yourself up for deception. Satan has had nearly 250 years to infiltrate the U.S. Government. Rest assured, he has not squandered a single opportunity. Our government is notorious for corruption and cover-ups, on both sides of the aisle. No one will hold the office of President of the United States of America if the elite "powers that be" do not want him to hold that office.
Hold everyone on both sides of the aisle to the same standards. A healthy dose of skepticism can go a long way towards keeping you from being deceived. Even so, never forget that studying God's word on a daily basis is the ultimate defense against falling prey to the deception surrounding us in this fallen world. Technology has advanced to levels the average person cannot begin to fathom. Satan and his minions have ways of deceiving us now that we have no clue exist outside of science-fiction movies.
If at any point, you think you cannot be deceived, you are already deceived.

There is no indication that the "mysterious" drones flying over multiple states in America have gone anywhere or ceased operation. As far as I can tell, they are still there. To date, no reasonable explanation has been provided to the American public for their presence. Our sorry excuse for a government has done absolutely nothing more than normalize this invasion. The drones are still hovering above our heads, doing God only knows what, while we turn our collective attention back to our telephone screens, awaiting further instructions from the manipulative powers that be... How did we stop caring about these strange drones and just accept their presence?

I've been keeping an eye on the drone situation. It became clear this evening that they are moving it out of the daily news feed. Looking through the major news sites, it is becoming more difficult to find an article about it.
Drones have been spotted in numerous states at this point, over numerous "sensitive" military installations and the federal government is still claiming that they do not know who owns these drones, who is operating them or the overall purpose of the drones. The drones are continuing to interrupt the normal flow of air traffic in various areas. The government's alphabet agencies still claim that there is no threat to national security from these drones. They still refuse to shoot them down, citing the potential for causing injury to people and/or property on the ground. They threaten citizens with fines and/or jail time if they shoot down any of these so-called "mystery" drones.
A ban has been issued on drones flying over specific areas of New Jersey and New York. Of course they have certain "exceptions" listed that basically make it so that the only ones actually banned from flying drones are average American citizens. They have even made it clear that if Joe Schmoe flies his drone in one of the specified areas covered by the ban, they will shoot it down. Apparently, the government is not concerned about causing injury to people and/or property by shooting down Joe Schmoe's drone, but they are so very concerned about causing injury to people and/or property that they are willing to let the "mystery" drones litter American skies without restraint.
NONE of what the U.S. Government is saying about these "mystery" drones makes any sense. Yet, the powers that be clearly expect the American public to just accept their "Because I said so!" response to this situation and, like scolded children, go to their rooms and shut up about it. Normally, the powers that be prefer that we all keep our heads down and eyes focused on our phone screens, oblivious to anything happening around us. Suddenly, drones fill the skies and all eyes are looking up. They provide zero logical answers to anything that is going on in our skies. Of course, this makes everyone even more concerned about what is taking place in American air space, even though the news feed turns and continues in a completely new direction. There is no doubt in my mind that they are up to no good and every bit of information they give the public is a lie. I don't know what they are up to, but I know that it will not be in the best interest of the American people. It never is.
I don't worry one bit about Russia, China, Iran or any other country. The United States Government does more harm to the American people than any other country ever will. The talking heads and government-run media say we are "crazy conspiracy theorists" for doubting the official narrative and daring to question the integrity of the United States Government. I say you are a fool if you don't.
Remember Jesus' words to His disciples in Matthew 7.
Matthew 7:15-16
15) Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves.
16) You will know them by their fruits...
That same principle applies today - to everyone, governments and citizens alike. Viewing our government through the lens of Scripture, it is clear to see that we do not have an honest, benevolent government. We have ravenous wolves in sheep's clothing. Beware.

Unidentified drones have been flying over New Jersey every night for at least three weeks now with no definitive answers as to who owns them and what they are supposed to be doing. The FBI is allegedly "investigating" them. A hotline has been set up for people to call and report sightings. Essentially, nothing is being done about these drones flying nightly over residential neighborhoods, near Trump's Bedminster golf course and a military installation in that area. You can look this story up online for more specific details as it is not my purpose here to merely report the same information that has already been plastered all over the web.
My concern here is the seemingly lackadaisical response of our government to these unknown drones in our skies, interfering with normal air traffic in that area, and terrorizing the people on the ground. The presence of these drones has already prevented at least one MAMA helicopter from landing to pick up a car crash victim. Reportedly, these drones are the size of a car. By all accounts, these are not drones that you can pick up at Best Buy. These are commercial-grade drones. Some have been reported to fly in groups, others singularly, and all at low altitudes. They have been seen in the skies over New Jersey every single night for at least 3 weeks. Our government claims they do not know whose drones they are or what they are doing. We are being told by the talking heads at the White House that they haven't uncovered any malicious activity or intent at this point and they do not have any evidence that the drones pose a potential national security or public safety threat. Call me crazy, but I think unidentified, car-sized, commercial-grade drones, mysteriously appearing and flying at low altitudes over American cities, night after night, pose a serious potential threat simply by virtue of the fact that they are unidentified, car-sized, commercial-grade drones, mysteriously appearing and flying at low altitudes over American cities, night after night. But, that's just me. Clearly our government has a much higher threshold for what constitutes a potential threat.
Think about that...
Assume that, for once, our government is telling the truth. I know that sounds far-fetched, but lets pretend for a moment. They do not know who owns these drones. They do not know who dispatched them into United States air space. They do not know what their purpose is. They do not know what their plans are. Since these drones have not launched an obvious, all-out attack so far, our government "experts" have determined that there is no evidence of a potential threat to national security and public safety. They are taking no pre-emptive action, like shooting the drones down. The only thing they know about these drones is that they do not pose any serious potential threat. Whew! That's a relief! Wait, what?? These unidentified, car-sized, commercial-grade drones just suddenly appeared in United States air space and have returned every single night for at least 3 consecutive weeks - that we know of. Somehow, without knowing anything at all about these drones, our cracker jack team of governmental geniuses in charge of national defense have somehow determined that there is no potential threat to us, therefore, no action on their part is required. These watchdog experts have decided to just let the drones do what drones do while the FBI asks for the public's help in figuring this thing out. Golly-gee-willickers, we've got a little mystery on our hands, fellas! We'd better call in the Neighborhood Watch...
Seriously, if that is true and the government really has zero knowledge about the source, capability and purpose of these mystery drones, their lack of action to defend the American people on American soil is not only inexcusable, but is blatantly treasonous. If they truly know nothing about these drones, at the very least, they should have taken them down immediately. If our government truly knows nothing at all about these drones, what message does their complete lack of action send to literally every person, every country, and every government in the entire world? Oh, probably something along the lines of, "America is weak and scared. You can fly your aircraft right into their country and dance around their skies, night after night, terrorizing people on the ground and the United States government will do absolutely nothing about it." If it is true that the government knows nothing about these drones, then not only have they completely opened our borders to invasion on the ground, our airspace is now up for grabs as well. Those who wish to invade this country by ground or by air will face zero opposition from the American "powers that be."
OK. Time to wake up. Of course the government is lying to us! That's just what they do. Rest assured, the United States Government knows everything there is to know about these drones. If they did not want these drones in the skies over New Jersey, doing whatever they are doing, these drones would not be in the skies over New Jersey, doing whatever they are doing. Furthermore, you can be certain that taxpayer dollars are funding the entire show. The main question I have at this point is, Why? What is the reason for this charade? Is this yet another psy-op? Are they combing through social media for insight into the current state of the collective consciousness? Could our government simply be testing the docility and gullibility of the American people? Are these "mystery drones" the beta test for something bigger, just waiting in the wings to be foisted onto an unsuspecting nation? Is this merely the set up for a push for more legislation to diminish even more of our rights? What exactly is the United States Government up to this time? Whatever they are up to, rest assured, it is not for the good of the American people. It never is.
