Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

One of the things we’ve talked about on the open threads is provided for in the Chapel in the Woods which Sundance has constructed at the lower right.
Comments and conversations about what the Bible has to say about world events have always been welcome here in the woods, and the Chapel is where we can extend those conversations. It will be open 24/7, just like the Prayer Request thread, functioning as a “perpetual open thread.”
The Chapel is the place to drop in when we notice that our questions or statements, reasonings or fears are best expressed with a Judeo-Christian historical and spiritual context. Anyone who doesn’t care to talk about or pray to the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is just as welcome in the Chapel as they are in the Treehouse.
The tone and content of Chapel conversations is expected to be the same as elsewhere in the Treehouse: honest and thoughtful. The Chapel has been built to provide a place for folks to discuss what the Bible says about any number of things~~past, present or future.
Argumentiveness and unkindness will be quickly deleted. Anyone who comes through the Chapel door to argue against the Bible as our primary source of information about God and what He thinks about things will be ushered out by the ushers. Anyone who comes to the Chapel for the purpose of Christian-bashing will be thrown out on their ear.
This nation has been a gift of God for well over 200 years, displaying among the nations what a fine thing it is when people are allowed to enjoy those things given by their Creator; among them life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The United States of America is our nation-house, and there are people trying to burn it down.
This nation is a blessing given to all of us, and there is no supposed “spiritual reason” for people who believe in the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob to sit back and fold their hands and somehow assume that it would be wrong for them to stand up and fight. We will fight and we will stand~~and we consider ourselves free to talk about, refer to, think about and pray to the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob while we do it.
So come on in. The Chapel’s open.
Our thread was getting pretty slow to load, so this should get us back up to speed!
The leftist spin in the Politico article is purposeful in reference to their alignment with the Democrats; however, the substantive content of the article is accurate. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, and his Decepticon henchmen (Thune, Blunt and Barasso), warn the republicans not to object during the January 6th certification the electors.
If a republican senator objects to the election certification, a roll-call vote within the chamber will be required and McConnell doesn’t want the optic of Republican senators voting to affirm Joe Biden as the president-elect. McConnell fears the sunlight.
WASHINGTON DC – Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell warned Republican senators Tuesday during a private caucus call not to object to the election results on Jan. 6, according to two sources familiar with the matter.
McConnell told his caucus that challenging the results would force Republicans to take a “terrible vote” because they would need to vote it down and appear against President Donald Trump. Senate Majority Whip John Thune (R-S.D.) and Sen. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.) also echoed McConnell’s remarks.
Maybe Russia was behind the serious breach into the SolarWinds’ network that created chaos in all levels of sensitive U.S. government databases; they certainly would benefit from a Biden administration. Or maybe, it was another foreign actor, like China.
Or maybe, it was a U.S. intelligence effort intended to give the illusion of foreign involvement in order to protect Deep State interests. Does anyone actually know?
One thing is certain… with all we know about how the intelligence apparatus of the U.S. has been politically weaponized, we The American People no longer have any faith in the institutions of government to admit or distribute the truth; and that has absolutely nothing to do with Vladimir Putin.

After the Supreme Court refused to take up an election fraud lawsuit by Texas; and beyond the 2020 election result that was determined by the outcome of that election fraud; AG Ken Paxton outlines the need for all states and state AG’s to continue fighting against arbitrary mail-in ballot processes. As Paxton says: “We have to fight this, or we lose credible elections forever.”
As many state and regional leaders crush their small business owners under the weight of insufferable and unscientific COVID-19 restrictions, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis goes in the exact opposition direction. Governor DeSantis highlights his concern about the economic and financial impact to businesses and workers in the state.
The Florida Governor holds a press conference at a local restaurant today promising that all small business owners, restaurants and bars in the state will remain open and free to conduct business. COVID-19 will be managed, but we will not destroy families with arbitrary rules and dictates holding no foundation in science. God Bless DeSantis !
Earlier today White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany held a press briefing with member os the White House Press Pool. [Video Below – Transcript Will Follow]
Briefing starts at 08:35, prompted:
I have spent a great deal of time thinking about declassification since the media began their insufferable onslaught and “president-elect Biden” narrative.
The time has long past for President Trump to strongly demand his executive cabinet members declassify the evidence outlining intrusive government surveillance upon not only himself, but all Americans.
CTH has a rather unique perspective on the declassification angle. This conversation has traveled with me for over two years as I have talked to people inside and outside the DC machinery. Ultimately the discussion ends around something like this:
Is the DC political surveillance state, and all of the ramifications within that reality, so fundamentally corrupt and against our nation’s interests, that no entity dare expose the scope and depth of it? And ultimately… is it the preservation of institutions, despite their transparent corruption, that’s causing so many disconnected outcomes from evidence intentionally downplayed?
If we assume the scale of unconstitutional conduct has become systemic, that likely answers the questions. Personally, I believe this is the most likely scenario.
“Likely” meaning the entire apparatus, DOJ, FBI, Legislative Oversight and the Intelligence Community (IC), is now so enmeshed within this corrupt out-of-control state that no-one, even the good guys, is willing to expose it because the institutional collapse would be devastating.
This is what I would call the Biggest of the Big Ugly.
