'Misleading'

John in Seattle‚ Washington called into Coast to Coast AM to describe his Reptilian or 'Laughing Lizard Guy' encounter at home during the Christmas holidays.“I want to tell you a story that happened to me back in 1985. Basically what happened was‚ it was Christmas eve and my brother was in town. We were staying out at my folk's house out by the lake. He and I both had a cot in the dining room. My mom had put out a couple of cots. Everybody was in bed. I was watching TV and my brother had gone to bed. So I turned the TV off. My brother was on the dining room table. I noticed he was meditating. He was sitting cross legged. That's weird‚ I thought that's kinda nutty looking. I didn't really get that stuff so I kinda snickered. I went to the bathroom‚ then came back out and got into the cot and laid down. I was trying to be quiet because I didn't want to disturb him‚ you know.As soon as I laid down. As soon as my head hit the pillow actually‚ I was paralyzed. I couldn't move and I just started freaking out. I could only move my eyes. (Noory asks if he was awake) Absolutely. Fully awake! I mean this happened the second I got in bed. It was frightening. So I'm trying to look at him. I'm somehow thinking that he's causing this. I don't know. It's very confusing. But the fear was incredible. I started yelling at him. Stop‚ you know. And I was screaming at him and he wasn't moving and I realized he couldn't hear me.This is where it gets completely insane. So‚ I'm like covered in sweat. I'm freaking out. I don't know what's going on. I never heard of sleep paralysis or any of this freaky stuff. I look at the foot of the cot and there's this... and this is completely true... there's this lizard guy standing there with his arms folded and he's just laughing at me and I'm like 'what the?' (Noory asked if he looked like a ghost) No. No. He was solid and he had like a vest on and he had like a holster on. And I was angry and I was like freaking out. I couldn't move and I obviously knew he was causing this and he was just laughing at me... and it had like an ant or like a turtle on its back and then he just disappeared (Noory asks if the paralysis went away) Instantly.”Source: Coast To Coast AM - September 30‚ 2016NOTE: An 'ant or turtle' on its back? Maybe it was carrying a juvenile or it was part of the uniform. I have previously heard of meditation 'manifesting' an alien being. Was this a thought form? BTW‚ I recently read where someone is going around saying that the Reptilians were responsible for the disappearance of the Roanoke Colony. Bizarre.

A few years ago‚ one of my students asked me to play and sing at her wedding. She asked me to learn a Blue October song. I had never heard of the band before. The beauty of the song instantly blew me away. I soon became a big fan. Blue October was formed in 1995 in Houston‚ Texas. Fronted by Justin Furstenfeld as lead vocalist and songwriter‚ the band initially consisted of his brother Jeremy Furstenfeld on drums‚ Ryan Delahoussaye on violin and keyboards‚ and later‚ Matt Noveskey on bass. They achieved mainstream success with their fourth studio album‚ “Foiled” The post Complete List Of Blue October Albums And Discography appeared first on ClassicRockHistory.com.

An advanced geothermal project funded and developed by Google has begun pumping carbon-free electricity onto the Nevada grid to power the company’s data centers there. Geothermal energy was once confined in theory to areas of geothermal activity‚ but if one drills deep enough‚ there’s extreme heat from the planet’s core essentially everywhere to be harnessed […] The post New Google Geothermal Electricity Project Could Be a Milestone for Clean Energy appeared first on Good News Network.

House Republicans have advanced measures to prevent noncitizen voting and curb foreign influence in American elections‚ with some even gaining bipartisan backing.  The House Administration Committee on Thursday sent eight election-related bills to the full House for consideration‚ most of which still face an uncertain future. The measures now move to the House floor‚ but the bills face uncertain futures.  House Administration Committee Chairman Rep. Bryan Steil‚ R-Wis.‚ said the bills bring the United States “one step closer to blocking election insecurities.”  “From preventing federal funds from going to states that allow noncitizens to vote‚ to blocking the Biden administration’s attempts to weaponize our federal agencies‚” Steil said in a public statement after the committee meeting. “Each measure we passed today will increase voters’ confidence and ultimately lead to greater participation at the ballot box.” The No Vote for Non-Citizens Act was reported out of committee on a bipartisan vote of 8-2. The bill would amend the National Voter Registration Act of 1993‚ better known as “the Motor Voter law‚” and the Help America Vote Act of 2002 to ensure that only eligible American citizens may participate in federal elections.  This measure‚ sponsored by Rep. Morgan Griffith‚ R-Va.‚ requires localities that allow noncitizens to vote in local elections to print separate voter lists and separate ballots from any federal elections.  Another bill repeals the recently passed District of Columbia law to allow noncitizens to vote in D.C. elections. While Washington‚ D.C.‚ has limited home rule‚ it is still subject to Congress as nation’s capital. The committee approved the bill by Rep. Mike Bost‚ R-Ill.‚ on a partisan 6-3 vote. The D.C. law gives noncitizens who are at least 18 years old and have resided in the District for 30 days or more the right to vote in any D.C. elections for mayor‚ city council and other local offices.  “Allowing noncitizens‚ like [foreign] embassy staff‚ to vote in D.C. elections is inappropriate and contrary to our system of democracy‚” Rep. Laurel Lee‚ R-Fla.‚ said during the committee meeting.  However‚ Democrats defended the D.C. law.  “The comments are so insulting here about D.C.’s ability to elect their own elected officials with their own voters‚” Rep. Norma Tores‚ D-Calif. “It’s so outrageous and offensive. It’s bullies bullying the D.C. residents.” The Citizen Ballot Protection Act‚ which cleared the committee on a 4-3 party-line vote‚ allows a state to include as part of the federal voter-registration form a requirement that applicants provide proof of citizenship. The bill was sponsored by Rep. Gary Palmer‚ R-Ala.  Rep. Chip Roy‚ R-Texas‚ sponsored the Protecting American Voters Act‚ which cleared the committee on a 6-3 party-line vote. The bill requires the Homeland Security Department and the Social Security Administration to provide upon request information to states to verify the citizenship status of individuals registered to vote. Committee Democrats opposed allowing local election officials to check the citizenship information with the federal agencies.  “This bill is another attack on elligible voters of color disguised as fraud prevention‚ for which this committee has shown no evidence exists‚” Rep. Joe Morelle‚ D-N.Y.‚ the committee’s ranking member.  Rep. Greg Murphy‚ R-N.C.‚ defended the measure.  “It is paramount that we enforce that American citizens are the ones who vote‚ not individuals who came into this country illegally‚” Murphy said during the committee meeting. Less controversial was the Stop Foreign Funds in Elections Act‚ which passed by a unanimous voice vote. Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick‚ R-Pa.‚ sponsored the bill‚ which would prohibit contributions by foreign nationals in elections or in connection with ballot initiatives or referendums.  Existing federal laws prohibit direct contributions from foreign nationals to political candidates‚ parties or political action committees‚ noted Rep. Anthony D’Esposito‚ R-N.Y. “However‚ federal law does not prohibit foreign nationals from making contributions or donations in connection with state of local ballot initiatives or referenda‚” D’Esposito said of the bill during the committee meeting. “This legislation rectifies that problem. American elections are for the benefit of American citizens and not foreign nationals.”  The popular measure was a unanimous recommendation of the three Republicans and three Democrats on the Federal Election Commission-recommended bill and likely could have enough bipartisan backing to pass the House and Senate and be sent to President Joe Biden’s desk for signature into law.  Three other measures did not pertain to noncitizens or foreign influence‚ but were about election security.  The committee voted unanimously to advance the Confirmation of Congressional Observer Access Act. The proposal just codifies the long-running Congressional Observer Program‚ which‚ under constitutional authority‚ deploys designated congressional election observers to observe federal election administration procedures. The bill was sponsored by Rep. Mike Carey‚ R-Ohio. The committee reported the Federal Election Audit Act out on a party-line vote of 8-4. That bill‚ sponsored by Rep. Gregory Murphy‚ R-N.C.‚ allows federal election assistance dollars to fund postelection audits for federal offices in a state. The committee also voted 5-4 along party lines to repeal President Joe Biden’s Executive Order 14019‚ which requires federal agencies to engage in get-out-the-vote activities‚ and working with independent nonprofit organizations to turnout voters. Sponsored by Rep. Harriet Hageman‚ R-Wyo.‚ the Safeguarding Electoral Integrity Act not only repeals the Biden order‚ but also requires every plan made under it to be submitted to Congress for review.  Have an opinion about this article?

For a week now‚ the world has watched a high-stakes‚ emotionally draining and dangerous game being played out in Gaza. What began as a mediated four-day “truce” and swap of 50 Israeli civilians held hostage by Hamas in exchange for 150 convicted Palestinian-Arab terrorists has now been dragged out much further. Hamas‚ unusually self-aware for a jihadist outfit‚ has savvily dangled the possibility of the release of ever-more hostages in exchange for further “truce” extensions. Israel‚ which so greatly values human life that it once infamously bartered more than 1‚000 terrorists in exchange for captured soldier Gilad Shalit‚ is all but forced to go along. But as tantalizing as it is to see more hostages reunited with their families‚ there are extraordinary costs if Israel prolongs these swaps and continues to indulge the fantasy of a “cease-fire.” There is the concrete threat of the convicted terrorists freed from Israeli prison. Among those freed during the Shalit swap was Yahya Sinwar‚ the current leader of Hamas in Gaza and mastermind of the Oct. 7 pogrom. (He is subordinate to Hamas’ Qatar-based top brass.) On Thursday‚ in his first publicized statement since the assault‚ Sinwar minced no words: “The leaders of [Israel] should know‚ Oct. 7 was just a rehearsal.” That’s quite a threat. How many future Yahya Sinwars have already been freed this go-around? The Times of Israel noted that 55% of the first 117 terrorists released during the current swaps had been held for violent crimes‚ including attempted murder‚ and 21% belonged to a jihadist outfit. Tragically‚ it is not difficult to see what this looks like in practice. On Thursday morning‚ two terrorist brothers killed three Israelis and wounded six others at a Jerusalem bus stop. Hamas claimed credit‚ and it turns out the brothers had previously been imprisoned for planning terrorist attacks on behalf of Gaza-based jihadists. Let’s pray this isn’t predictive of what will come from the current swaps. But more to the point: Some “truce” this is‚ with Hamas openly taking credit for killing more Jews in cold blood. Then there are the horrific incentives and massive warfighting costs that an extended “truce” entails. Israel’s open negotiation with a terrorist organization‚ even if conducted via American and Qatari intermediaries‚ necessarily incentivizes more future hostage-taking and exacerbates the peril for Israel Defense Forces soldiers in Gaza. Even more important‚ the obvious—indeed‚ intended—effect of this weeklong “pause” in fighting‚ from Hamas’ perspective no less than from the Biden administration and Qatar’s perspective‚ is to habituate the so-called international community to relative calm. Thus‚ for each and every day the “truce” is extended‚ Israel will face increased pressure and hostility when it resumes military operations. Hamas has every incentive to string out the “truce.” The Biden administration‚ which would like to navigate an off-ramp to the conflict in the face of discontent from the Democratic Party’s Jew-hating progressive base‚ shares the same incentives. President Joe Biden may publicly claim to support Israel‚ but his deceitful actions belie his hollow words. Israel cannot realistically turn down hostage swaps‚ at least at face value‚ no matter the tangible benefits to Hamas. But with Hamas now transparently violating the “truce” and calling all the shots‚ the Jewish state must regain the upper hand in this conflict immediately. Anything less than unmitigated Israeli victory in Gaza would be catastrophic. But Israel is losing the war right now: It is waging war on Hamas’ terms and capitulating to Biden administration and Qatari pressure. Israel‚ a nation once vaunted for its military and intelligence prowess‚ appears extraordinarily weak. The optics of abiding by the “truce” while Hamas manifestly does not do so plays right into Hamas’ hands. Hamas is taunting Israel‚ further sullying its reputation and undermining its deterrent posture. Hassan Nasrallah and Ali Khamenei are surely laughing. Especially after Thursday’s slaughter in Jerusalem‚ Israel has no choice but to put on its blinders‚ tune out the “international community‚” and immediately reestablish deterrence by revving back up the IDF tanks and warplanes to eradicate Hamas in Gaza. In the aftermath of the Hamas Holocaust of Oct. 7‚ anything short of complete eradication is inexcusable. No citizen in a First World country can live with such a genocidal specter constantly looming. Eradication of Hamas is also necessary to deter Hezbollah‚ a considerably more dangerous foe than Hamas‚ to say nothing of the regional “head of the snake‚” the Iranian regime itself. Israel’s destruction of Hamas would also have salutary global repercussions: The global jihad that has been emboldened since Oct. 7 would be subdued‚ and Jews all over the world facing skyrocketing antisemitism would finally feel a little bit safer at home. This is an extraordinarily difficult position for an Israeli leader to be in. But Benjamin Netanyahu is Israel’s longest-serving prime minister ever‚ and he comes from a famed Zionist family. The future viability of Zionism now hangs on his next moves. COPYRIGHT 2023 CREATORS.COM The Daily Signal publishes a variety of perspectives.

Christian organizations are among nonprofits that support the abortion industry‚ especially since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade last year‚ according to a “watchlist” that monitors such connections.  “Unfortunately‚ our research showed that many of these organizations responded to Dobbs by funding abortion‚” Hugh Brown‚ executive vice president of the American Life League‚ told The Daily Signal.  “In many cases‚ it was organizations who had never supported abortion before‚” Brown said.  He was referring to Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization‚ the 2022 case in which the Supreme Court overruled Roe and abortion on demand and sent the issue of abortion back to the states to decide. Christian organizations that support abortion are flagged by The Charity Watchlist‚ an online tool created by the American Life League. Founded in 1979‚ ALL calls itself the oldest Catholic grassroots pro-life organization.  In a press release‚ American Life League President Judie Brown said the watchlist was “designed to hold nonprofit organizations to account for the positions they take‚ especially when it comes to their positions on respect for life‚ fertility‚ the nuclear family and the aging.”    ALL categorizes each organization by assigning one of three colors: green‚ yellow‚ or red. It has rated about 60 nonprofits so far. Green means an organization opposes abortion‚ cloning‚ and research using aborted fetal body parts. Yellow indicates an organization is “questionable.” Red means an organization supports advocacy‚ lobbying‚ and research that ALL doesn’t consider pro-life.    “The ideology of death is one these organizations have no business being involved in. A country that houses organizations that support a culture of death has no future‚” Hugh Brown‚ who is Judie Brown’s son‚ told The Daily Signal.  The Charity Watchlist placed The Salvation Army‚ a Christian organization‚ in the red category because it “does not fully condemn abortion” and because it supports birth control and “transgender housing” in Las Vegas.    The watchlist also put the YMCA in the red for promoting a “pro-abortion advocate” and for “two separate instances where minor girls were exposed to men in the Y’s locker rooms” because of the YMCA’s transgender policies‚ according to the website.   Others that the American Life League put in the red are UNICEF‚ Girl Scouts of the USA‚ and Catholic Relief Services.   Charities categorized as green include the American Heart Association‚ Food for the Poor‚ and Water.org.  Brown said he believes that The Charity Watchlist will make nonprofits‚ Christian or not‚ more hesitant to support the abortion industry.    “Some of these organizations support things that oftentimes the public is unaware of‚” Brown told The Daily Signal. “These organizations don’t want these things exposed for what they really are‚ because the ugly truth is that these programs fund death and people don’t want to place their money behind that.”  Have an opinion about this article?
