One of my quirks, is that I love spiders, regularly make friends with yellow jackets, will toss stink bugs outside if I find them in the house (like just two days ago, in December, here in the Okanagan!!!) and only hang fly tape when too many house flies move in or the fruit flies come out. One year when my son was just a baby and my daughter was not yet born, the bedroom window did not have a screen. An orb weaver spider created a web across that window, and all summer long, not a single bug got into that room! The spider got big and fat and I was sad to see her go when the cold weather hit. My daughter bought me some "Christmas spiders" as we call them, during halloween season one year. As much as I hate that holiday, commercially-speaking it's the only time of year when we find decent spider decorations. Most of the time we don't buy them, but a couple years ago, Ashley bought me a set of spiders to put up at Christmastime. Their colours were too cheery for halloween, but that's when they were set out for purchase. This year, I had a little fun with one, making it look like she was trying to help me decorate and got tangled in the garland. Every time I see a spider, I am reminded of the verse in Proverbs where Solomon observes them even living in the palace. I hope this Christmas spider's attempt at decorating brings you a smile as it does me. Merry Christmas!

Elon's response when he was asked if he would "do DOGE again" was heartbreaking, but then he said something about God! A year ago, everyone was riding high from Donald Trump's landslide election victory and excited by talk of him appointing Elon Musk to lead a "Department of Government Efficiency." Twelve months and an on-again-off-again friendship later, Musk has regrets about his time working in the government. https://notthebee.com/article/elon-musk-admits-that-he-has-regrets-about-starting-doge-and-wouldnt-do-it-again

Tired of sanitized headlines and woke spin? I write the kind of unfiltered, no-BS takes you can see in the example below. Additionally, in today's edition: federal unions betraying taxpayers, Britain sacrificing its daughters on the altar of “diversity,” lost Biden-era kids finally being rescued by Trump, and ancient underground cities that make the history books look like fairy tales. One of today’s fresh posts on my Substack: "In a stunning display of decisive leadership, President Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, has spearheaded the rescue of over 62,000 migrant children who vanished into the shadows during the Biden administration’s porous border policies, pulling them from the clutches of sex trafficking rings, forced labor camps, and unspeakable abuses that no child should ever endure. Homan, dropping jaws on Fox & Friends over the weekend, revealed that as of December 5 — mere months into Trump’s second term — the administration had located these kids through relentless welfare checks, sponsor investigations, and crackdowns on smuggling networks, all while sealing the border tighter than ever with zero releases and over 579,000 deportations already under the belt. Trump pledged on day one to hunt down every last one of the estimated 300,000 unaccompanied minors lost under Biden’s watch — out of over half a million smuggled in — coordinating federal, state, and local forces to deliver on that vow without needing new laws, just raw resolve. It’s Herculean work: Homan’s team pores over daily tallies, dismantling cartels that profited from the chaos, and proving once again why Trump stands as the greatest president of our lifetime, turning a humanitarian catastrophe into a beacon of redemption for America’s forgotten innocents. The stark contrast couldn’t be more damning — Biden’s “compassionate” open-door fiasco, where a single understaffed hotline ignored 65,000 cries for help from stale bread to nightly assaults by adult predators, left these children as faceless statistics in a bureaucratic black hole, with ICE releasing 291,000 without court notices and no follow-up. Homan’s blunt assessment? “Children that weren’t even being looked for under the Biden administration” — a willful blindness that fueled the very trafficking horrors Trump is now eradicating, from girls forced into bedrooms with strangers to boys chained in sweatshops. This isn’t just policy; it’s moral clarity, a Trump team refusing to let political correctness or virtue-signaling doom another generation, while Democrats who branded border security as “xenophobic” now face the ugly receipts of their complicity. With 62,000 lives reclaimed and counting, it’s a clarion call: secure borders save souls, and ignoring the vulnerable isn’t empathy — it’s endangerment."

Just as they always do leading up to holidays, they are hitting us harder than ever. The past few hours they hit us with a (dominant) combination of the "Aromatic" type and "Mag-Blocker" type (and others) both of which induce serious heart issues (arrhythmia, fluttering, v-tach) in some but leaves others unaffected. It may interfere with Vagus nerve function as well, but we don't yet know. Nevertheless, this has been the hardest hit of this type we have had in several weeks. God only knows how many of our friends and family are no longer with use because of this horrific crime against humanity. Isn't it just a wild coincidence that the majority of people cannot smell or taste any of these types. *Clearly* they (the aerosols) were engineered that way, which clearly indicates intentional concealment, which indicates malice. The world needs to wake up real fast. It may save a life. This stuff they are spraying us with clearly rapidly depletes magnesium. I know a few toxins that do this, but the only one that I found does it this rapidly is venom peptides. This is why magnesium may save lives when facing these types of symptoms. Think about this folks. The symptom set is *identical* to the cv "sharp-thing" and genetic testing has shown that the highest-mortality lots contained these peptides. This means they have been possibly aerosolizing this (not the /\/\-Rna, but the peptides manufactured by the /\/\-Rna) for perhaps 5+ years before the cv event, then they manufactured a crisis and convinced many to take it internally. This is a very possible scenario based purely on the data (Keep emotions out of investigations. Always let the data lead). https://gsw.bz/stopha Remember how they said the prepared all the vials in months? This is physically impossible. It takes years to do this. It is a huge undertaking: Vats, assembly lines, transport, storage, etc. The process takes years. What if they refined the process years before so they were ready to pull off the scheme quickly, before too much opposition could organize. In this scenario, they would have had to make the peptides and refined the storage procedure far in advance. It's much more complex than most understand. This would explain why all the same symptoms of v-peptides began appearing as early as 2014 in aerosolized form with the "Mag-Blocking" chem-type. This is the most viable scenario based on the timelines and complexity of the process (manufacturing v-peptides). This is the realized chem-type: https://gsw.bz/type-bb

Youth acquitted in fatal stabbing case, despite taunting victim’s friends after! An Ontario court judge has acquitted a youth of manslaughter, despite the fact that the young killer fatally stabbed another person and then mocked the victim’s friend. The incident took place in July 2022, when a teenage boy fatally stabbed 18-year-old Auptin Abedini-Senoubari with a bottle. It was the climax of an escalating fight between two groups in a North York parking lot. Following the incident, the accused messaged the victim’s friend, saying, “Ur homie dropped like a fly that day.” The accused also later sent a video of Abedini-Senoubari lying on the ground after being stabbed. 🇨🇦#MarkCarneyCantBeTrusted🇨🇦 🇨🇦#SayingTheQuietPartOutLoud🇨🇦 🇨🇦#JustSayNoMore🇨🇦 🇨🇦#CarneyLies🇨🇦 https://truenorthwire.com/2025/11/youth-acquitted-in-fatal-stabbing-case-despite-taunting-victims-friends-after

Tech-savvy and terrible! Imagine you’re a high school girl. Your phone won’t stop buzzing. It’s not friendly DMs, texts or social media notifications.

Von der Leyen told Carney he was “here among friends.” She said Canada and the EU are two strong democracies bound by historic ties and connected by a “dynamic, fair and open” trade partnership. She said the EU wants not just to reaffirm the friendship and partnership with Canada but also to reshape it. She said the agreement is the “most comprehensive” ever completed. https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/business/politics/2025/06/23/canada-signs-new-security-and-defence-partnership-with-europe/

Push for net zero is 'meaningless': Friends of Science president Ron Davison!
