How many times have you‚ or someone in your circle‚ made this joke: “I can’t seem to go outside without spending money&;#33;” But‚ as with many jokes‚ there’s some dark truth layered in. Life just feels a little hard right now for many of us when it comes to finances. And one person has hit the nail on the head as to why. Spoiler alert: it probably has nothing to do with anyone being lazy.Amber Cimiotti‚ a mom of two and expat living in Italy‚ begins her video by noting how America has removed naturally occurring activities like “exercise‚ talking to friends‚ connecting with people‚ spending time with our kids‚” from everyday life. And so now‚ Americans only have access to these very necessary things if they are able to pay for them.For example—let’s talk about exercise. Cimiotti notes how &;quot;there's not many places‚ neighborhoods‚ and cities where it's super easy to walk everywhere‚ where you can get a lot of natural exercise‚ whether it's walking to and from your house or to the grocery stores. This just doesn't exist for most people now‚ so you have to wake up earlier on your lunch break or after work; you have to go to the gym so you can get in your exercise.&;quot; Which means someone has to have anywhere between $40 to upwards of $300+ a month to invest in their physical health in this way.Next up—mental health resources‚ primarily in the form of real conversations in a supportive community. Cimiotti says “people are meant to share their struggles‚ their stories‚ everyday‚ constantly. And we’re not doing that. And what do you see happening&;#63; Nowadays‚ everybody needs a therapist. Yes‚ therapy is needed for some things but most people just need to be talking to people way more. And I don’t mean like trolling on the internet.” Also—child care. &;quot;There used to be kids running around neighborhoods all the time. Parents didn't have to pay all this extra money to do activities so their kids can be involved in things; parents didn't have to drive all over the place... But now that doesn't exist. So we do need to pay for activities‚” Cimiotti says. Lastly—food. “Eating healthy food in America is a part-time job‚ if not a full-time job…it would all be so much easier if we just had healthy food in general.” I don’t think Cimiotti needs to convince anyone here that quality food (food in general‚ really) is definitely not accessible for many folks‚ and high prices are at least partially to blame. “The point is when things don’t happen naturally in your day and you need to take extra energy to achieve basic things like healthy food‚ exercise‚ talking to friends‚ which helps regulate emotions and things like that…when you have to build those into therapy sessions‚ exercise sessions‚ hobbies‚ reading 17 books…of course you’ll be tired‚” Cimiotti concludes with a big sigh. @ciaoamberc #america #culture #family #friends #parenting #society ♬ original sound - Ciao AmberC Down in the comments‚ people seemed to really resonate with what Cimiotti had to say.One reader commented‚ “I’m totally convinced that a lot of therapy effects could be achieved by processing time with an array of friends in different stages of life. Which isn’t possible to mutually schedule like therapy.”And while Cimiotti’s video might be sobering‚ she tells Buzzfeed that her hope is it can lead to more conversations that “help lead to a change.” Judging by some of the viewer reactions‚ it seems she’s succeeded‚ at least in helping people not blame themselves for their challenges. One person shared‚ “It’s so validating to hear cause I feel like I never have enough time to just live well and not be completely exhausted and have space left to do fun stuff&;#33;”

Farrah Fawcett‚ born on February 2‚ 1947‚ in Corpus Christi‚ Texas‚ was best known for her role as Jill Munroe in the groundbreaking television series “Charlie’s Angels. Her cascading golden hair and dazzling smile defined an era and made her an everlasting icon in Hollywood and beyond. Before her ascent to stardom‚ Fawcett attended the University of Texas at Austin‚ where her stunning looks quickly caught the attention of Hollywood agents. By the mid-1970s‚ she had secured several commercials and minor roles on television.  Iwas her portrayal of a private investigator in “Charlie’s Angels” that catapulted her to immense popularity. The show became a smash hit‚ drawing over 20 million viewers at its peak and making Fawcett a household name. Despite her television success‚ Fawcett was determined to prove her versatility as an actress. She left “Charlie’s Angels” after just one season to pursue a film career. Though her initial projects met with mixed reviews‚ she eventually earned critical acclaim for her performances in television movies such as “The Burning Bed” (1984) and “Extremities” (1986).  These roles showcased her ability to tackle serious and complex characters‚ earning her multiple Emmy and Golden Globe nominations. Fawcett’s influence extended beyond her acting career. Her iconic red swimsuit poster‚ released in 1976‚ became a defining image of the era‚ selling millions of copies and cementing her status as a pop culture phenomenon.  The post Farrah Fawcett: Photos of a golden icon of the 70s first appeared on History Defined.

Here’s why this recipe works: One-Pot Meal: Once you’ve prepared your ingredients‚ it’s a one-pot meal deal from there.

Better-than-Takeout: This Chinese Sticky Rice is just as delicious as takeout‚ but even better fresh from your own stovetop. Great for Meal Prep: Sticky rice has the key characteristic of our best meal-prep dishes: it gets even more flavorful with time. What Is Glutinous Rice&;#63; The key to Chinese Sticky Rice is buying the correct rice. Look for short-grain glutinous rice‚ which is sometimes also labeled sweet rice or sticky rice. Short-grain glutinous rice can be found at major grocery stores (in ethnic aisles) or Asian grocery stores‚ as well as online. Glutinous rice/sticky rice is short grain rice with a chewy‚ sticky texture and ever-so-slightly sweet flavor. Despite the term glutinous rice‚ there is no gluten in it. The term glutinous refers only to the sticky soft texture. Key Recipe Ingredients Glutinous Rice – Make sure to grab short-grain glutinous rice for this recipe – not sushi rice. This is crucial in getting that perfectly chewy‚ sticky texture. Dried Shiitake Mushrooms – Dried Shiitake Mushrooms add amazing smoky‚ earthy flavors to this dish. You’ll rehydrate them in water prior to using. Chinese Sausage – Chinese Sausage (lap cheong) is a firm Asian style sausage with amazing spices. This is a classic staple of Chinese Sticky Rice. Fresh Ginger – We recommend freshly grating ginger for the best flavor. Chinese Cooking Rice Wine – This provides acidity and a flavor boost; the alcohol will “cook off” during the heating process. Tamari Sauce – Feel free to use tamari or soy sauce for a deep umami flavor. Asian Sesame Oil – Be sure to use toasted Asian sesame oil found in ethnic aisles of major grocery stores. Substitutions And Variations Check out these simple recipe variations for Chinese Sticky Rice: Change the Meat: Feel free to deviate a little from traditional Chinese rice and substitute the lap cheong with ground turkey‚ beef‚ or pork like we do in this recipe for Asian Sticky Rice. Switch to Seafood: Shrimp and scallops go amazingly with the flavors in this dish. Simply chop your choice of seafood small and cook just like you would the ground meat. Add more Aromatics: Try dicing some shallots‚ mincing some garlic‚ or chopping cilantro and adding them in with the ginger. Step-By-Step Recipe Instructions Rehydrate dried Shiitake mushrooms by soaking in warm water for about 1 hour. Drain well and chop. Soak rice at least 3 hour and drain well in a colander‚ rinsing with cold water. Stir fry ginger in large heavy pot in oil for 1 minute. Add Chinese sausage and Shiitake mushrooms‚ stir frying for another minute. Add remaining ingredients (except scallions) and bring to a boil. Reduce to simmer‚ cover‚ and let cook 45 minutes. Turn off heat and let sit for at least 10 minutes‚ covered‚ before carefully stirring. Cover again and let sit another 10 minutes before garnishing and serving. Enjoy&;#33; For full list of ingredients and instructions‚ see recipe card below. How To Prep Ahead Chinese Sticky Rice is perfect to prep-ahead: Soak the Rice and Mushrooms: Make sure to get the rice soaking at least 3-4 hours in advance and the mushrooms 1 hour in advance. You can even soak them overnight. Refrigerate Sticky Rice: Sticky rice will keep amazingly in the fridge for up to 4 days. Always store leftovers in an airtight container‚ which helps to maintain tenderness and flavor. Reheat in a microwave-safe bowl with a lid. Freeze Sticky Rice: Want to freeze cooked sticky rice&;#63; Not a problem. Simply store it in an airtight container and freeze for up to one month; use meal prep containers for individual servings. What To Serve With Chinese Sticky Rice Protein Easy‚ Healthy Orange Chicken is the perfect side to this dish for an added boost of protein. Another satisfying chicken recipe to serve with sticky rice are these Honey Soy Chicken drumsticks. Looking for a Chinese beef recipe&;#63; This 30-Minute Asian Orange Beef turns out so tender and flavorful. Veggies Perfect Air Fryer Broccoli is a quick way to serve some greens alongside Chinese Sticky Rice. We also love saut&;eacute;ing cabbage for a super simple‚ yet delicious veggie side to our favorite Asian dinners. Desserts You may not have tried Red Bean Mochi Bars before‚ but their sweet flavor and melt-in-you-mouth texture make the perfect end to any meal&;#33; This Easy Homemade Almond Jello is the perfect light‚ vibrant dessert to enjoy after sticky rice. Commonly Asked Questions What is the best way to store glutinous rice&;#63; All uncooked rice keeps fresh longer when stored in an airtight container and in cool‚ dry spaces. If you have a small bag of uncooked rice and can manage to keep it in the fridge‚ that’s the ideal situation for keeping grains fresh for a long time. A cool/dry basement space works well as a storage for most of your grains as well. Why do you need to soak glutinous rice for this recipe&;#63; It’s important to pre-soak the glutinous rice a few hours before cooking‚ because it helps soften the outer surface of the rice grains and allows for even cooking throughout. Without soaking‚ the rice will need to be boiled longer and will end up mushy instead of chewy. What’s a good replacement for Chinese sausage that tastes similar&;#63; While there’s nothing quite like the sweet‚ savory‚ flavorful aroma of Chinese sausage‚ it can be hard to find in grocery stores sometimes. Kielbasa or andouille can be used in place of Chinese Sausage. We also like cooked/seasoned ground pork or turkey. What makes Chinese sticky rice sticky&;#63; The stickiness of Chinese sticky rice is all about the variety of rice. Glutinous rice‚ also called sticky or sweet rice‚ turns out super chewy and sticky thanks to its starch content. Basically‚ it has a very low content of the kind of starch that makes fluffy rice (amylose) and a very high content of the starch that makes sticky rice (amylopectin). Is this Chinese sticky rice gluten-free&;#63; Yes&;#33; Despite what it sounds like‚ “glutinous rice” is completely gluten-free just like any other variety of rice. As long as you stick with the Tamari sauce in this recipe and don’t swap it for soy sauce‚ this recipe is totally gluten-friendly.

We’ve been one of the FIRST news outlets on this story….and it’s more relevant right now‚ TODAY‚ than ever before. You would be wise to pause what you’re doing and take this in because it’s about to become very relevant to your daily life. Credit to our friend Bo Polny who first started telling us the U.S. Dollar was in serious trouble a couple years ago… At the time‚ it seems inconceivable that the U.S. Dollar would ever be anything other than the world reserve currency. Now it’s very obvious and we appear to be in the end-stages. I want you to listen to this short clip from a very smart man‚ Miles Franklin CEO Andy Schectman. He explains the very simple roadmap for how you dethrone the U.S. Dollar: – Weaponize the dollar – Incentive oil producers to dump the dollar – Cause an inflationary crisis at home – Banks collapse – Tell everyone they will be made whole if they sign up for the CBDC Watch the clip here and tell me if this sounds like EXACTLY what we’re watching play out before our very eyes. Pretty incredible when you hear him connect all the dots. Watch here: THE DOLLAR END GAME: RISE OF A US CBDC Miles Franklin CEO Andy Schectman lays out his theory on how America’s debt spiral will lead to a complusatory #CBDC. – Weaponize the dollar – Incentive oil producers to dump the dollar– Cause an inflationary crisis at home-… pic.twitter.com/ky744LQHOi — Bitcoin News (@BitcoinNewsCom) September 16‚ 2023 Then the big question comes next… They’re not dethroning the U.S. Dollar because they’re bored. They’re doing it because they have something ready to take its place and they need to make room for it. I believe Gold and Silver are going to play a BIG role in the new system. I believe they conditioned the public over the last 40 years to not buy Gold and Silver. They taught you to avoid them. They plunged the prices. And yet….what were the big players doing all along&;#63; BUYING. Keep reading and I’ll connect a bunch of dots for you&;#33; We are fast approaching a Bretton Woods 3.0 moment on the world stage. These come along about once every 100 years and the people who are positioned on the right side of history always scoop up generational wealth. It’s an incredible time to be alive. Read this: Gold and Silver: “No one wants to sell at these make believe prices” I’ve been telling you for a long time now that Gold and Silver are vastly undervalued. I’m not a financial advisor and I can’t tell you what to do‚ but I can look at historical data and I can easily see that the current price of Gold and Silver makes no sense unless….it’s being manipulated. Now who would want to do that&;#63; And the more important question: will it go on forever‚ or do the manipulators eventually release the stretched rubber band and ride an explosion up&;#63; I’ve you’ve been paying attention in life‚ you know the answer. You know these crooks on Wall Street manipulate things down‚ then they load their boats‚ then they manipulate them up into a bubble. Where are we in that process right now for commodities like Gold and Silver&;#63; Right exactly where I placed that star up above. = You Are Here The Big Boys are loading their boats. But that’s not just my opinion. I’m a nobody. Listen to Andy Schectman who is an expert on these things and he lays it out PERFECTLY in two minutes. Here’s my rough paraphrase: “A concerted effort by the very powerful to use the suppression of commodities (gold‚ silver‚ but also a long list of all other commodities)…these countries are not complaining about suppressed low prices yet because they’re accumulating&;#33;  But once it becomes obvious that the availability of these commodities is very scarce and no one wants to sell at these “make believe prices” then the public says “OMG‚ what have we been missing&;#63;”  And maybe that all happens in concert with a breakdown of the banking system‚ then the public says “give it to me now” and that’s when you’ll see the circuit breakers be put into affect.  But at that point it’s too late.” Oh my&;#33; It’s so much better to listen to him explain it in his own words. It’s just 2 minutes long.

It’s this latest interview over at SGT Report. Sean does such a great job over there of interviewing people on topics the MSM doesn’t want you to see‚ and his latest is called “$1‚000 Silver — Seriously‚ Stop Laughing”. There’s actually a lot of history that goes into that quote and this was a great discussion by four very smart individuals. Watch here: I’ve been sounding the alarm for a while now… Have you taken action&;#63; As always‚ there’s one thing I always say and it’s never been proven wrong:  Watch what they DO‚ not what they SAY. Who is “they”&;#63; The same people Andy Schectman was talking about. Big Governments. Central Banks all over the world. Big Business. What are they doing&;#63; They are LOADING THEIR BOATS with as much Gold and Silver as they can find and they’re laughing all the way to the bank because they’re buying at what Andy says are “make believe prices”. Are you&;#63; After the Great Financial Crash of 2008‚ I made a decision. From that point forward‚ I would simply do what the Big Boys were doing. I would simply watch what they’re doing and copy it. Oh‚ and if they had Jim Cramer telling people the OPPOSITE (i.e. Cramer says Gold is a loser‚ but the Central Banks are buying with both fists) that was usually the perfect confirmation I needed. So that’s been my strategy since 2008 and it’s worked very well for me. Here’s more…. Here’s Why Banks Are Buying Up All of the Gold I’ve got Jordan Peterson and Peter Schiff in a fascinating conversation about the Value of Gold. And it’s not just some academic debate. This could very soon be one of the most important things in your world when the U.S. Dollar crashes and gets its value cut in half….or worse. These guys know what they’re talking about and this short 8 minute clip is definitely worth your time to watch. I always say this: don’t listen to what the “Elites” tell you….watch what they are DOING. And what are they doing&;#63; Stacking gold and silver. As much as they can get their hands on. Look‚ I hope I’m wrong but I think we’re in for a massive event that is going to destroy bank accounts and destroy the U.S. Dollar. So what happens to YOU when that happens&;#63; Watch this and then scroll down for how I can help you stay safe right now…. Watch: For those who can’t listen‚ here’s the transcript (and then scroll down for what YOU can do right now&;#33;  That’s the most important thing&;#33;): One of the reasons that people are so arrogant particularly in America that the dollar status is not in jeopardy and so that we can keep on running these huge deficits we can create keep on creating inflation and the world’s got no choice right but to stick with the dollar because are they going to go to the euro are they going to go to the Yen you know the pound I mean they’re winning B I agree all of those currencies also have problems and so do you really want to switch from one flawed fiat currency to another even if those other Fiat currencies may be less flawed than the dollar right do you really want to make that shift I don’t think that that’s what’s going to happen what everybody is missing is that there is an alternative to the dollar that doesn’t involve another fiat currency and that’s gold that is real money everybody forgets that for thousands of years gold was money it was money because it worked now over the course of time uh we had paper currencies that would rise and fall I mean hundreds of years ago they were paper currencies that are now worthless and you don’t even know their names you know they come and go but gold has has stayed you know gold works as money and so I think what these central banks are going to do is as they get out of dollars they will just increase their Holdings of gold gold will be the monetary anchor gold will be the reserve monetary asset just the way it was before the dollar it wasn’t the British pound I mean the British pound was a dominant currency but gold was what everybody owned the British back to pounds do you see any do you see any evidence that some of these alternate currencies are starting to back their currency claims with gold oh yeah you can what’s happening on the central banks are now buying more gold than they’ve bought in in in decades especially a lot of the uh you know the Emerging Market countries not even maybe so much the United States isn’t buying any gold and maybe you know some of the more mature uh countries but a lot of other countries that had predominantly held dollars and then to a lower degree Euros or Yen or pounds these countries are increasingly buying gold that’s why gold is at a record high I mean Gold’s around two thousand dollars an ounce but in terms of just about every other currency on the planet gold has been hitting all-time record highs uh and again that’s not really gold going up that’s all these Fiat currencies going down but what are the reasons that countries would want gold as opposed to the dollar is the US government doesn’t have any control over it you know gold is an asset that’s not also somebody else’s liability and nobody could create it you have to mine it no one country you know has the advantage so you know why would you want to take away uh that that privilege that the United States has and just bestow it on somebody else who is going to abuse it the same way I mean the United States abused that privilege that we had and we we we exported all this inflation to the world we took advantage of the this the position that we were in uh so why would you want to put another nation in in a position to similarly take advantage of the world it’s much better to go back to to honest money and again even when we were on Bretton Woods before you know 1971 and we were on the dollar standard it was because the dollar was backed by gold again if you held dollars you held gold that’s where the saying came from the dollar is as good as gold in fact the legal definition of a dollar is a is a weight of gold that’s what a dollar is dollars are gold the the the paper currency that circulated Federal Reserve notes are not dollars they are notes of the Federal Reserve initially the those Federal Reserve notes were payable in dollars the dollars were the gold that the Federal Reserve notes paid because if you think about what a note is a note is a promise to pay something a Federal Reserve Note is supposed to pay something well what did it pay it paid gold it paid dollars today Federal Reserve notes pay nothing their ious nothing the Federal Reserve is not obligated to give you anything I mean if you have a ten dollar bill okay so people people might object and they and they have that well gold is just another arbitrary standard of value it has some intrinsic worth it’s useful for jewelry it’s useful for certain industrial applications but it’s just another psychologically valuable currency without any intrinsic value and so it shouldn’t be a repository of value in principle that’s any more stable than let’s say a well-managed or even a badly managed fiat currency and so what do you what do you why is it that gold has proved itself let’s say over centuries or Millennia as a storehouse of value what is it about gold intrinsically let’s say that seems to have given it that edge the idea that gold doesn’t have any intrinsic value is just pure nonsense it’s obviously politicians have a vested interest in in trying to diminish gold as a monetary alternative to the Fiat system and even now you have a lot out of cryptocurrency enthusiasts who say the same thing well you know gold has no value because they want to justify something like Bitcoin which also has no value and say well gold worked as money and it has no value so so Bitcoin could work well it’s not true that gold has no value gold is the most valuable the most useful metal on the periodic table gold became money because it was such a valuable commodity but gold has a lot of properties that make it uniquely qualified to be money more so than than other Commodities that’s why gold was so successful over the centuries as money because people preferred to use it as money it wasn’t governments that decided gold is going to be money the people decided that gold was going to be money and once the people decided that gold was going to be money if you were a king you know well you would tax people in Gold because if you wanted to pay your soldiers to protect you your soldiers wanted gold right so it was the money created in the free market and it beat out all other forms of money because gold you know a gold coin uh all they’re all all the same you could melt gold down and you can make it into coins uh it’s fungible it’s portable it’s divisible but the other aspect of goal that is the key you can save gold because if I have an ounce of gold in 100 years in a thousand years it’s exactly the same it doesn’t lose any of its properties and in fact even if I take my gold and I make you know I make a ring out of it or I I use it to make a watch right you can melt this ring down and you get your gold back and it’s exactly the way it was you could do something else with it there’s really no other metal you can keep using it over and over and over again I mean they fill teeth with gold if you find somebody buried in the ground you know you could take their fillings and you know the Gold’s still there you know there treasure ships from the 1400s 1500s they sink if they recover the wreckage the only thing that’s still there is the goal it’s an it looks exactly the way it looked when the sink when the ship sank 500 years ago so from a point of savings because money has to satisfy three primary conditions two of them are a unit of account an immediate exchange but the third one is the store value and that’s important because it’s also makes it possible to do loans that I can borrow money you can lend money and you can be repaid and you know that the money that you’re going to get repaid is going to retain its value and so that’s something that gold that gold does better than than other metals but the value of gold even if I’m not using my gold today as a metal let’s say I have gold stored in a safe and you say well you know you’re not using it for anything that’s true but I’m preserving the future use of that gold somebody in the future is going to need that gold and so I’m storing it right now because you know there are more uses for gold that are discovered all the time because of its very unique properties I’m sure in a hundred years or a thousand years there will be more uses for gold than there are now So‚ what can YOU do to protect yourself&;#63; To protect your family&;#63; To stay safe&;#63; Simple: you need to get some #Gold or #Silver in your own possession. It’s called “physical” gold and silver. Not paper traded garbage on the stock exchanges that isn’t backed by anything. Don’t touch that stuff. I have two special hook-ups for you. Both involve PHYSICAL gold and silver. Because if you do NOTHING else‚ make sure you own “physical” gold and silver‚ not paper contracts. The paper contracts (like stock ticker SLV and GLD) could very well go POOF one day and disappear or go to zero‚ because they’re not actually backed by the gold and silver they claim to represent. It’s a massive game of musical chairs out there and when the music stops (and I think it will stop soon…) people who only own paper might find themselves owning something not worth the paper it’s literally written on. And I know you’ll never forget it if I give you this GIF so….Let’s Get Physical: Now…WHERE do you get physical gold and silver and how do you know it’s real and safe&;#63; And that you’re getting the best price&;#63; Oh‚ and how about personal one-on-one real customer service&;#63; You know‚ like you were some Big Wig millionaire at Goldman Sachs who could just call their personal banker and get help&;#63; That’s what I’m about to tell you.   I have two killer connections for you… The first is for purchasing gold and silver bullion. That means bulk bars. That’s the cheapest and most economical way to do it‚ to stretch your dollar into as much gold and silver as possible. The website is called WLT Precious Metals and when you see my logo in the top left-hand corner‚ you’ll know you’re in the right place. You’ll get a personal phone call with Ira Bershatsky (or someone on his team) and they will work with you free of charge for as long as needed to answer any questions you have and get you taken care of. How about that&;#33; You don’t see that much anymore‚ but Ira and his team pride themselves on good old-fashioned real customers service: No sales pitch‚ just real‚ actual help. And the best prices you will find. Here’s the only disclaimer I will give you: because they do pride themselves on dedicated service‚ it might take a few days before you get a phone call back.  Just be patient. Good things come to those who wait&;#33; You can contact Ira and WLT Precious Metals here. Ok‚ that was #1. Now I want to tell you about option #2. An equally great company‚ I am so happy to be working with these guys. This next company is called Genesis Gold and this is for people who want to purchase real physical gold or silver in their IRAs (Investment Retirement Accounts). You know what the beauty of that is&;#63; TAX FREE baby&;#33; I’m not a tax advisor‚ but that’s a general oversimplification. Never pay more taxes than you are legally required to pay. And that’s why I love getting gold and silver in my IRA (and why I hold a large chunk in an IRA myself&;#33;). There’s so much to love about Genesis Gold‚ starting with the fact they are proudly and un-ashamedly Christian&;#33; They call it “Faith-Driven Stewardship” and they put it right on the homepage of their website along with a quote from Ezekiel: Wealth Preservation With Gold &; Silver – The Genesis Gold IRA By your wisdom and your understanding you have made wealth for yourself‚ and have gathered Gold and Silver into your treasuries – EZEKIEL 28:4 Genesis Gold Group believes the Bible gives clues on how man-made currencies (paper money) represent instability‚ and a lack of virtue and encourages living wastefully in excess. Conflicts have beleaguered us since the dawn of civilization‚ and they can all be encapsulated into one battle. The battle is between currency‚ man-made paper‚ and gold and silver — the two precious metals found in our Earth’s crust‚ sent to us by our Lord to use as money. Man-made currency always leads nations down the path to increased war‚ greed‚ and ultimate collapse. History has shown that abandoning gold and silver has always been a bad idea. Gold and Silver enforce discipline‚ nurture self-constraint‚ self-reliance‚ and balance‚ and lead to confidence‚ a restrained government‚ and a more stable foreign policy. Genesis Gold Group believes in empowering faith-driven stewardship with Gold &; Silver are an integral part of a balanced portfolio. Protecting your finances with precious metals has never been more crucial during these trying times. With a combined 50-plus years in the precious metals industry‚ let your Genesis gold and silver experts guide you through the simplicity of asset protection and growth with our Genesis Gold IRA. Sincerely‚ Genesis Gold Group Empowering Faith-Driven Stewardship Oh….and they’re VERY good at what they do. You also get physical gold and silver with Genesis‚ believe it or not&;#33;  The gold and silver is purchased for you (in whatever combination of coins and bars you prefer‚ a picture taken and sent to you‚ and then stored safely in a vault for you&;#33; I love what these guys are doing. Here’s more on why gold and silver in your IRA are so powerful: You can contact Genesis Gold here. They are also very backed up with record demand‚ so you may have to wait a bit‚ but someone WILL get in touch with you for personal customer service and assistance&;#33; Tell ’em Noah sent ya&;#33; Oh‚ and did you know Genesis is recommended by SUPERMAN himself&;#63; It’s true. Superman himself‚ Clark Kent — Dean Cain — came on my show a few weeks ago and we broke it all down: Watch here: Stay safe&;#33; Make sure you can weather the storm when it hits&;#33; Because the storm always hits eventually‚ doesn’t it&;#63; As for me and my house‚ we will be ready.

Are Taylor Swifts lyrics full of “explicit” content&;#63; It’s one thing to drop a bunch of F-bombs….but are they also flat-out Demonic and Blasphemous&;#63; Many people say yes‚ including Sean Feucht‚ who posted this which is what originally caught my attention: Here’s the explicit songs in @taylorswift13 ‘s new album. Watching Christians praise this new album of promiscuity &; perversion while simultaneously rebuking Biden for allowing men in women’s locker rooms is peak American fake morality in 2024. pic.twitter.com/8ewq18nJM9 — Sean Feucht (@seanfeucht) April 19‚ 2024 Are your kids listening to Taylor Swift&;#63; Are you ok with them listening to all this EXPLICIT language&;#63; But as I said‚ that’s one thing.  They’re going to hear bad language in this world.  But are you ok with them hearing outright Demonic and Blasphemous lyrics and singing (chanting&;#63;) them over and over‚ almost as if casting a spell&;#63; That’s a whole other thing&;#33; Take a look at this second post from Sean Feucht: Almost half the songs on Taylor Swift’s new album contain explicit lyrics‚ make fun of Christians and straight up blaspheme God. Is this the music you want your kids listening to&;#63; Do you think I’m overreacting&;#63; Read the lyrics below and decide for yourself: Guilty as Sin… — Sean Feucht (@seanfeucht) April 21‚ 2024 Almost half the songs on Taylor Swift’s new album contain explicit lyrics‚ make fun of Christians and straight up blaspheme God. Is this the music you want your kids listening to&;#63; Do you think I’m overreacting&;#63; Read the lyrics below and decide for yourself: Guilty as Sin What if I roll the stone away&;#63; They’re gonna crucify me anyway What if the way you hold me is actually what’s holy&;#63; If long-suffering propriety is what they want from me They don’t know how you’ve haunted me so stunningly I choose you and me religiously Another song: The smallest man who ever lived I would’ve died for your sins‚ instead‚ I just died inside Another song: But daddy I love him I just learned these people only raise you To cage you Sarahs and Hannahs in their Sunday best Clutchin’ their pearls‚ sighing‚ “What a mess” I just learned these people try and save you ‘Cause they hate you Another song: God save the most judgmental creeps Who say they want what’s best for me Sanctimoniously performing soliloquies I’ll never see Thinkin’ it can change the beat Of my heart when he touches me And counteract the chemistry And undo the destiny You ain’t gotta pray for me Me and my wild boy and all of this wild joy If all you want is gray for me Then it’s just white noise‚ and it’s just my choice Wow‚ that’s bad. And that is JUST from her latest album….what if we review her entire catalogue&;#63; Well‚ we learn right away that she really likes to write about Witches a lot.  That’s strange. Here are 4 examples: “They’re burning all the witches‚ even if you aren’t one” – from the song “I Did Something Bad” off her album “Reputation” “Women like hunting witches‚ too” – from the song “Mad Woman” off her album “Folklore” “Devils roll the dice‚ angels roll their eyes” – from the song “Cruel Summer” off her album “Lover” “I thought the plane was going down/How’d you turn it right around” – a line from “Labyrinth” off her album “Midnights” which was associated with witchcraft allegations due to a coincidental plane flying overhead during a concert. Why would someone have so many lyrics about Witches&;#63; Seems strange. I know‚ I know….it’s art&;#33;  You just don’t get it&;#33; You’re right‚ I don’t. I don’t get it and I don’t like it. I could spend a LOT more time on lyrics and perhaps I will in a future article‚ but now let’s talk about the visual imagery at her shows. Maybe lyrics can be misinterpreted‚ but certainly the images at her shows are wholesome right&;#63; I mean‚ it’s not like she has Goat Heads and Witches and Spells and Rituals being performed at her shows‚ right&;#63;  Right&;#63; Ummmm‚ take a look for yourself. This is charming image: Watch the full clip here: The Christian Post went deep on the topic: Former Boyzone star Shane Lynch has accused popstar Taylor Swift of engaging in demonic practices and satanic rituals during her sold-out shows and warned of the damaging effects such music has on children. “I think when you’re looking at a lot of the artists out there‚ a lot of their stage shows are satanic rituals live in front of 20‚000 people without them realizing and recognizing‚” Lynch recently told Ireland’s Sunday World. “You’ll see a lot of hoods up and masks on and fire ceremonies. Even down to Taylor Swift — one of the biggest artists in the world — you watch one of her shows and she has two or three different demonic rituals to do with the pentagrams on the ground‚ to do with all sorts of stuff on her stage. … But to a lot of people it’s just art and that’s how people are seeing it‚ unfortunately.” The 47-year-old Irish singer said there’s a “lot of hidden satanic” messaging in music today‚ yet most listeners are oblivious to it. “When it comes to a lot of the music that’s out there at the moment — more of the hip-hop side of things — there is a lot of hidden satanic and a lot of evil within them‚ including down to the beats. It’s very real‚” he said. “Music attaches to your emotions‚” Lynch added‚ “It has a connection to your spirit and how you feel. That’s why I’ve stopped listening to those types of music myself because it doesn’t suit my spirit.” Lynch‚ a father of two and a professing Christian‚ warned that certain music is damaging to society in general and especially children. “It 100 percent has an effect on society. I think our society has never been worse in many areas‚ and it starts from our children‚” he said. “It’s coming in right at our children from the very beginning to get them to sway away from anything Godly‚ anything controlled or disciplined. It’s getting wilder and wilder out there for a reason. … Music is dangerous.” Swift‚ 34‚ has previously been accused of promoting demonic activity through her music; in her 2020 “Willow” music video‚ she is shown observing an occult ritual and previously said the song “sounds like casting a spell to make someone fall in love with you.” In one remix of the song‚ she posted a photo of herself on social media with the caption‚ “Witches be like ‘Sometimes I just want to listen to music while pining away/sulking/staring out a window.’ It’s me. I’m witches.” She also referenced witch hunts in her 2017 album Reputation. “They’re burning all the witches‚ even if you aren’t one‚” she sings in the song “I Did Something Bad.” And for those of us who remember the Super Bowl‚ this is her bestie sitting next to her. The girl in the Orange hair with the upside down Cross necklace doing the Devil Horns. Nothing to see here‚ just Taylor Swifts guest Ice Spice throwing up demonic signs while wearing a upside down cross making sure the world sees it on the big screen. DEMONS. pic.twitter.com/D9ywjZDOR7 — AG (@Yolo304741) February 12‚ 2024 Just more coincidences‚ I’m sure. Ok‚ but now let’s examine why so many think there is demonic imagery and/or spells being cast or rituals conducted at her shows. I’m not even going to give any comments‚ I’m just going to show you the videos and let you decide.

Why does she have such a fascination with Witches&;#63;  It’s weird. Why does Taylor Swift know so much about Witches&;#63; Who talks like this&;#63;#Witchcraft pic.twitter.com/HW3FRXxr4v — DailyNoah.com (@DailyNoahNews) April 22‚ 2024 Ok‚ I could go on for hours‚ but I’ll wrap it up here. I’ll end with this…. We always like to be fair and balanced here‚ so while I have extreme concerns with what I see in her lyrics and videos and concerts‚ we should report that she professes to be a Christian: Taylor Swift: “I’m a Christian”
