I read an article recently by Michael Snyder, who was lamenting the fact that so many people seem to be “not right”—people whose actions make no sense whatsoever!
The article is titled “10 Signs That A Significant Portion Of Our Population Has Gone Nuts.”
Snyder posed the question, “Have you noticed that people around you are behaving more erratically?”
I don’t think there’s one sane person left on the planet that would not answer that with a big YES!
He then asked, “Can you remember when it seemed like most of the people in the country were relatively normal?”
And for those like me who are old enough to remember the 1950s and early 1960s, the answer again was a big YES!
Snyder hypothesizes that so many people may be going crazy because they are spending too much time on their cell phones and/or taking too many drugs.
He even suggests all this erratic behavior we’re seeing could be from having to deal with new stupid things like trying to figure out woke stuff, like what’s your kid’s pronoun to put on the birth certificate!
For proof he includes a CNN post proclaiming that God obviously made a mistake with Dylan Mulvaney’s sex.
(You can read the whole article HERE.)
Snyder's observations may contribute to the craziness we're seeing today, but I think there's more to it...like maybe it’s because so many people got the va((ine. It's possible!
In fact, there are a lot of excellent studies showing people can get way out-of-kilter after getting va((inated.
“A total of 21 articles described 24 cases of new-onset psychotic symptoms following COVID-19 vaccination.”(1)
But, of course, what we really want to know is what the Bible says is going on in the world. And even a brand-new Believer can find Bible verses regarding the last days.
First and foremost the Bible confirms the latter days will, in fact, be quite crazy. Here’s a list of 19 characteristics of non-believers in the last days that Paul wrote to Pastor Timothy in Ephesus:
But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come. For men will be:
lovers of self,
lovers of money,
boastful,
arrogant,
revilers,
disobedient to parents,
ungrateful,
unholy,
unloving,
irreconcilable,
malicious gossips,
without self-control,
brutal,
haters of good,
treacherous,
reckless,
conceited,
lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,
holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power;
2Tim. 3:1-5
That’s quite a list. It pretty much pegs what’s going on today, don’t you think?
I almost said that’s a list describing Democrats, but I thought better of it. 🙂
And the most glaring of those latter-day sins is the “haters of good.” We’re seeing that literally every day in the major media.
Think about it... a lot of people (mostly Dems and mostly va((inated) are upset that Elon Musk is finding and cutting out government waste! They are against that?
Possibly those legislators and senators who are yelling the loudest are those who are losing their under-the-table income. Hey, failed Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacy Abrams's non-profit company got $2 billion from Biden's auto pen ($2,000,000,000.00). And naturally I wonder if the Biden family got a cut?
When you read Romans 1, it explains what happens to people when they continuously and vehemently reject God. It prophesies exactly what’s going on today.
And unfortunately, for those who are duped by our adversary, there’s a huge penalty to pay. They begin a long, downward spiral that ends in homosexuality. (Rom. 1:18-32)
men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, Rom. 1:18b
And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper, Rom. 1:28
And if you go down that road it doesn’t go well in this life or the next.
receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error. Rom.1:27
This was written to the Believers in Rome, written over 10 years before Paul sent the list in his second letter to Pastor Timothy in Ephesus. So twice he sent a specific warning to be on the lookout for these peeps.
Here's his list of characteristics he sent to Rome:
filled with
all unrighteousness,
wickedness,
greed,
evil;
full of envy,
murder,
strife,
deceit,
malice;
they are gossips,
slanderers,
haters of God,
insolent,
arrogant,
boastful,
inventors of evil,
disobedient to parents,
without understanding,
untrustworthy,
unloving,
unmerciful;
and although they know the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, they not only do the same, but also give hearty approval to those who practice them. Rom. 1:29-32
Ouch. But just because it sounds like vaxxed Democrats, we don’t know that for sure.
The next verse should send chills down an unbeliever's spine (regardless of party).
Therefore you have no excuse, Rom. 2:1a
Romans 1:1 - 2:1 says if you reject God’s Word and His provision for salvation, it’s not only going to be eternal flames forever…you could also cause yourself to have health problems while you’re still on this earth.
Your lack of acute mental judgment (“depraved mind”) leads to short-term physical problems ON THIS EARTH. Plus the long-term flaming horror of hell.
I am in agony in this flame. Luke 16:24b (Said the guy in Hades...not a parable.)
So all those nutty decisions, all those hard-to-believe statements we’re seeing every day (again, mostly coming from the far-left liberals and the massive numbers who took the vax) are from people who have rejected God, His Word, and His provision for salvation.
And if they don’t repent, it doesn’t end well for them.
And we know that the judgment of God rightly falls upon those who practice such things. Rom. 2:2

FYI - Auburn is currently seeded as the #1 college basketball team in the NCAA College Basketball Tournament (Just amazing!). They got past their first two games and are heading to the Sweet 16! Unfortunately when they play again we'll be traveling from Jordan to Galilee though the West Bank. Duty calls.
The links in the Additional Resources below are meant to help us be wise and aware as we live and make decisions living in the concluding moments of the Church Age.
So this section is to offer more insight into our adversary's worldwide actions to help us make good decisions between now and our exciting exit. Hey, a lot of nut-cases are still pushing the va((ines! And some deluded people are still taking them!

Auburn heads to the NCAA’s Sweet 16 basketball tournament. Their coach, Bruce Pearl, made a surprising opening statement about Israel after defeating Creighton in his post-game interview.
Pearl is the coach who also took his entire team to Israel for a tour of the holy sites—a man after my own heart!
None of this assures that they will continue winning, but it does give proof that they have already won. Regardless of the score, Pearl acknowledges that God is the most important part of life.

Maj. Brennan Schilperoort is a C-130J transport aircraft pilot stationed at Scott Air Force Base in Illinois who is being threatened with discharge from the Air Force. He has served honorably for 17 years.
During the COVID-19 years, he put in for a religious exemption from the COVID-19 jab. The story at that time was that the Pentagon had denied all religious exemptions. Fortunately for Major Schilperoort, a federal judge in Ohio blocked the Air Force from taking administrative action against those who were requesting a religious exemption. That order was for only a two-week period.
Major Schilperoort was to receive a very serious Letter of Reprimand during that same period. However, that did not happen due to the judge’s order. In the interim, because of Congressional involvement, the Pentagon had no choice but to repeal its COVID-19 vaccine mandate when that requirement was added to the 2023 National Defense Authorization Act. In doing so, the Pentagon warned such action could put service members at risk of serious illness.

AI Has The Potential To Become One Of History's Most Dangerous Idols
The rise of artificial intelligence unlocks an altered world of possibilities that is already transforming how humans work, learn, heal, grieve, relate, and worship. All these trends point toward the potential for AI to become one of history's most compelling idols.
If Christ has not been raised, your faith is worthless; 1Cor. 15:17a
Our new CIA Director John Ratcliffe has confirmed what many patriots have known for years: The Obama administration ORDERED the FBI NOT to arrest Hillary Clinton for espionage, despite her clear violations of 18 U.S. Code § 793.
This is the ultimate proof that Barack Hussein Obama and Hillary Clinton conspired to subvert the rule of law, using their power to shield their criminal empire from exposure. They didn’t just bend the law — they crushed it under their boots to protect their stranglehold on America.
February 10, 2025—History will remember this day. The moment when the American people finally saw the truth laid bare. The criminal conspiracy that protected Hillary Clinton, manipulated justice, and waged war against Donald Trump has now been fully exposed.
For years, patriots demanded answers. Why did the FBI refuse to prosecute Clinton for her blatant violations of 18 U.S. Code § 793? Why was justice obstructed at the highest levels? The answer has now been confirmed by none other than former CIA Director John Ratcliffe—Barack Obama himself ordered the FBI NOT to arrest Hillary Clinton for espionage.
THE ORDER CAME FROM OBAMA HIMSELF
The conspiracy went straight to the top. Lisa Page, former FBI lawyer, admitted under oath that the Department of Justice explicitly instructed the FBI to stand down.
JOHN RATCLIFFE: “So, just to be clear, when you say you got instructions from the DOJ, they told you outright: ‘We are NOT prosecuting Hillary Clinton for gross negligence’?”
LISA PAGE: “That is correct.”
This was not an accident. This was a deliberate cover-up, orchestrated at the highest levels. Clinton was meant to secure the presidency in 2016, ensuring the Deep State’s grip on America remained unchallenged. But when Trump won, their house of cards collapsed—sending them into full panic mode.
THE CLASSIFIED EMAILS: OBAMA’S REAL MOTIVE
Why did Obama go to such lengths to protect Clinton? Because her private email server contained secrets so explosive they could have destroyed the Deep State.
* Emails confirming pay-for-play schemes with foreign governments.
* Direct collusion between the Obama administration and foreign intelligence agencies to manipulate U.S. politics.
* Evidence of classified leaks to foreign actors in exchange for political favors.
Had Clinton been prosecuted, the case wouldn’t have stopped with her—it would have led straight to Obama himself.
THE FBI: OBAMA’S PERSONAL ENFORCERS
The FBI, once a respected law enforcement agency, was weaponized under Obama to serve the Democratic Party. While Clinton was shielded from justice, the Bureau focused its efforts on manufacturing crimes against Trump.

This just confirms what we already know...
According to the data, the rapid decline in trust from the American people began in 2015-2016, during the presidential election that resulted in the victory of Donald Trump. This was the beginning of the end for the “mainstream media.”
Even during the election, far more people were following Alex Jones on Youtube than most of the major establishment outlets — combined. Shortly after that, Jones was banned everywhere.
Shares of 23andMe crashed in premarket trading on Monday after the genetic-testing unicorn startup filed for bankruptcy in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Missouri, following a slide in demand for its ancestry kits and a data breach.

There seems to be an increasing number of Christians today who are convinced that the Jewish people are no longer God’s chosen people. To them, modern-day Israel is considered irrelevant and not part of God’s prophetic plan, and the church is now the chosen people of God.
People who hold that position are 100% wrong!

Apparently, sleep is for the weak. Around 0200 ET, President Trump fired off a Truth Social post, floating the idea that Europe and Canada could be hit with additional tariffs if they plotted against the US.
"If the European Union works with Canada in order to do economic harm to the USA, large-scale Tariffs, far larger than currently planned, will be placed on them both in order to protect the best friend that each of those two countries has ever had!" Trump wrote on his social media platform.
Will people ultimately realize that Trump won't let the world rape America any longer? If so, and Trump rights the American ship, these verses will make a lot more sense about the state of America on the world's stage when the Rapture takes place:
“And the kings of the earth, who committed acts of immorality and lived sensuously with her, will weep and lament over her when they see the smoke of her burning, standing at a distance because of the fear of her torment, saying, ‘Woe, woe, the great city, Babylon, the strong city! For in one hour your judgment has come.’ Rev. 18:9-10
“And the merchants of the earth weep and mourn over her, because no one buys their cargoes any more — cargoes of gold and silver and precious stones and pearls and fine linen and purple and silk and scarlet, and every kind of citron wood and every article of ivory and every article made from very costly wood and bronze and iron and marble, and cinnamon and spice and incense and perfume and frankincense and wine and olive oil and fine flour and wheat and cattle and sheep, and cargoes of horses and chariots and slaves and human lives. The fruit you long for has gone from you, and all things that were luxurious and splendid have passed away from you and men will no longer find them." Rev. 18:11-14
“The merchants of these things, who became rich from her, will stand at a distance because of the fear of her torment, weeping and mourning, saying, ‘aWoe, woe, the great city, she who was clothed in fine linen and purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls; Rev. 18:15-16
for in one hour such great wealth has been laid waste!’ And every shipmaster and every passenger and sailor, and as many as make their living by the sea, stood at a distance, and were crying out as they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, ‘cWhat city is like the great city?’ And they threw dust on their heads and were crying out, weeping and mourning, saying, ‘Woe, woe, the great city, in which all who had ships at sea became rich by her wealth, for in one hour she has been laid waste!’ Rev. 18:17-19
To fulfill those verses, to be that impacting on the world, America will have to continue to break away from the Globalist's/Satanist's grip and regain her independence and world purchasing power.

In case you missed it, this is a well-done documentary by Children's Health Defense that came out in January. Shocking, to say the least.

Ivermectin was forbidden by the Globalists/Satanists to be prescribed by doctors treating Covid. If it had been administered, most Covid deaths could have been avoided.
If I didn't know better it would seem they forbid using known safe drugs that worked against Covid (specifically hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin) while pushing remdesivir and ventilators...both of which had a high mortality rate...in order to scare people into getting a va((ination that also killed people...and is still killing people.
But do we really know better? Nah.

Recent investigations, including a Washington Post exposé, have uncovered a growing scheme by gold companies that prey on unsuspecting investors, particularly retirees, looking to protect their life savings by investing in gold and/or silver coins.
These companies frequently use popular media personalities and influencers to promote their services, creating an illusion of trust and credibility. However, behind the scenes, these firms are charging exorbitant markups on gold coins, often resulting in massive financial losses for customers.
The price of a 1 oz. non-numismatic pure gold coin is selling for around $3,000 an ounce today. A single "numismatic" coin might sell for $3,500 to $10,000 per ounce because it is claimed to be more valuable.
But if/when you sell your numismatic coin, you can only be assured to get the price of a non-numismatic coin, regardless of what you paid for it. Many have purchased when gold market prices were much lower only to see their portfolios still significantly underwater after gold prices have increased substantially because they purchased numismatic coins.
We know two gold dealers who are reputable / don't sell numismatic coins. To keep from getting ripped off, regardless of who you wish to purchase from, you can make a quick call to get a second (or third) quote.

Below is a post by ICAN regarding the Measles drum beat.
The media is at it again—whipping up hysteria over measles and pushing the same tired narrative:
“Measles is back.”
“The unvaccinated are to blame.”
“The only solution is more vaccines.”
A child tragically died in Texas, and public health officials immediately demanded more vaccination. But they refuse to ask the fundamental questions:
Who was this child? Did the child have a pre-existing condition? How did doctors treat this child?
Instead of seeking the truth, the “fake news media” peddle fear and misinformation.
They claim measles is one of the most dangerous viruses. YET, before the vaccine the U.S. death rate for measles stood at approximately 1 in 10,000cases and was rapidly declining before introduction of any vaccine—not the 1 in 1,000 or the 1 in 10 lie that public health agencies push today.
They insist the vaccine is 97% effective, BUT data from past outbreaks prove that 31-50% of measles cases occurred in vaccinated individuals.
They promised the vaccine would eradicate measles. BUT if that were true, why do outbreaks still follow the same cyclical pattern seen before the vaccine?
The Vaccine Didn’t Stop Measles—It Made It Worse
Public health agencies launched the measles vaccine in 1963, declaring that science would eliminate the virus forever. Instead, they created a ticking time bomb:
They scream about herd immunity, but their data proves it doesn’t exist.
Public health experts warned about these dangers decades ago, yet the vaccine program moved forward. Scientists knew if measles wasn’t completely eradicated, mass vaccination would create a population-wide immune crisis.
And that’s precisely what happened.
Countries with vaccination rates above 95% still experience outbreaks. Sri Lanka declared itself “measles-free” in 2019 and has had over 700 new measles cases by 2023.
Meanwhile, the Amish and Mennonite communities—who largely reject vaccination, and may contract measles—report far lower rates of autism, chronic illness, and immune disorders.
Public health officials don’t want you to ask why.
How Else Have They MISLEAD US?
They told us measles was dangerous. But science now shows that natural measles infection protects against deadly diseases.
They claimed the vaccine saved lives, but it may have cost millions.
If every child had continued catching natural measles, millions of people could have avoided heart disease and cancer. Instead, the vaccine robbed them of that protection.

Ed Dowd, interviewed by Greg Hunter, expects a deep but short recession in 2025. Here are some interesting quotes from the interview:
"The DOGE revelations are mind-shocking. The clear way in which the government was spending money through NGOs (non-governmental organizations) and people taking kickbacks and profits along the way is going to eventually come out. There may have been theft along the way."
"What business does Stacy Abrams have getting $2 billion for an NGO? This doesn’t make any sense. It’s going to be shocking, even shocking to me. I knew there was rot in the system, but the mind blowing way the NGOs were used to facilitate the illegal immigration just blows my mind."
"The 10 million plus illegals that came in over the last four years, you just don’t wake up one day in Central America and say I am going to the Darien Gap, and go to the Mexican border and then meander my way into the interior of the US without a tremendous amount of aid along the way."
"NGOs facilitated that and probably took their cut. What was the all-in economic cost of the goodies they got once they got here? "
"Plus, the NGOs spent and what the government spent themselves to facilitate this, it’s not hard to imagine $50,000 to $100,000 all-in cost per illegal. . . . This is the all-in cost up and down the entire economic food chain. . . . It was anywhere between $500 billion to $1.5 trillion depending on the illegals."
"It was an illegal project funded purposely, and it was very logistical. It was not something that just happened overnight.”"

President Donald Trump has issued a new executive order declaring that carbon dioxide (CO₂) is not a pollutant but an essential element of Earth’s natural ecosystem.
The order highlights CO₂’s critical role in photosynthesis, the process by which plants convert sunlight into energy and produce the oxygen we breathe. Trump emphasized that labeling carbon dioxide as harmful ignores its foundational importance to life on Earth and to global agricultural productivity.
This executive order represents a major shift from prior climate policies that treated CO₂ as a dangerous greenhouse gas. By affirming its natural and beneficial role, the administration aims to remove unnecessary regulatory burdens from American industries, particularly in energy, manufacturing, and farming.
Trump stated that overregulation based on politicized science has held back economic growth and undermined the nation’s pursuit of energy independence.
As expected, indoctrinated political zealots—posing as environmental activists—have condemned the order. These groups, driven by ideological motives, advocate for expanded centralized government control under the guise of climate protection. They reject any challenge to their narrative, regardless of scientific merit, and seek to impose sweeping regulations that increase bureaucracy and limit individual freedoms.
How demonic do you have to be to make war on 6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂, and photosynthesis? 100%! All the woke/cows farting nonsense was being used to torpedo America.

Aspartame, a common artificial sweetener (Marketed under the name Nutrasweet and other names) found in sugar-free sodas (Diet Coke), protein bars and even chewing gum, is touted to be a “healthy” alternative to regular sugar, thus helping people satisfy their cravings for sweets without risking their health.
While this is a popularly held belief among consumers, research shows that aspartame does the opposite — it actually endangers your health to a greater degree than sugar.

The environmental group Greenpeace was ordered to pay $660 million in damages for defamatory statements and damages caused by the group while protesting the construction of an oil pipeline in North Dakota, a jury found Wednesday.
Greenpeace, which vowed to appeal, said last month it could be forced into bankruptcy because of the case, ending over 50 years of environmental activism.
The protests, which saw acts of violence and vandalism, started in April 2016 and ended in February 2017 when the National Guard and police cleared the demonstrators' site.
The case was brought by Texas-based Energy Transfer. Its lawyer alleged Greenpeace paid outsiders to come into the area and protest, sent blockade supplies, organized or led protester training, and made untrue statements about the project.

Homeschoolers, who on average perform better than their government-educated peers on every metric, are preparing to fight back. But in a deep-blue state like Illinois, concerns are growing as policymakers consider a bill to impose more government control over homeschooling families after about 75 years of relative freedom in the state.
