Close your eyes and feel. Awakening is not always pleasant. In fact, sometimes, it's a lot like childbirth. We won many years ago, this is such an exciting time to exist. It's gratifying to read the thought patterns from the Tiger here. Makes me smile because I know he's much younger than I am. Imagine where this crew will all be 10 years from now, their kids 10 years older, their minds with a decade more life experience, and it will be experience during this global birth. This is all so brilliant.

Your sentiments reflect the reality of our situation, a situation which seemed quite plausible to both of us some days ago.

I 100% agree that we must accept these terms of engagement, even though we didn’t set them.

The coming days will see titanic battles between the powers of evil and good. Some may even be visible to people like us.

I feel I should alert the community to a potential imminent distraction play by the regime.

For some days we have been told that senior regime figures have been negotiating with Russia and exerting pressure on Zelinsky to engage in peace talks.

A respected figure in the military arena, Col Douglas MacGregor, has been accurately predicting, from the beginning, the course of the war with a good deal of accuracy so far.

His view is that the regime has told Zelinsky to pretend to be amenable to negotiate but the regime meanwhile has already put thousands of American, Polish and Romanian troops just across the border in Poland.

It is, to me, entirely plausible that a disastrous escalation against Russia is on the cards, especially if political things start slipping for the regime at home.

I say disastrous because the most any cobbled together regime coalition will number fewer than 100,000 somewhat ready soldiers, against no less than 500,000 Russian forces. That number will be 1 million Russian soldiers by February.

That scare event you were talking about may well be just around the corner.

Many macro events afoot the world over, from Russia-Ukraine to Brazil's elections. All worth keeping in mind.

Taking a break from house cleaning today to read this : )

For me, house cleaning is a kind of therapy…the cleaner my environment, the clearer my thinking and perceptions.

I started off early this morning feeling a bit tangled up in the chaos (mirrored in the house clutter of late!) and realized I wasn’t going to untangle if I didn’t take a break from the world, from the chaos of mixed news signals.

I am amazed and inspired by your dedication…I’m sure you were up late and yet here you are, balanced and calm and helping your readers keep their bearings.

I have a beautiful medicine bag crafted and gifted to me by a Native American friend…and in that context of “good medicine,” you, BurningBright, are, figuratively speaking, in my good medicine pouch

Yes, "Embrace The Chaos," it works very well for a rebel like me. However, NEVER lose focus of what you are striving for. Take today, the same psyop as yesterday with the voting machines all across the country. Isn't it funny? Nov. 7 ALL MSM media had the exact talking point of *something is happening in the election and it isn't the giant red tsunami.* I'm tempted to write "Do you, Mr. Jones? That would lose a lot of you, wouldn't it?-Bob Dylan. Don't forget, Soros owns Smartmatic and Dominion is owned by a good friend of Biden. We use these machines again because...? There are others out there. A pipe bomb threat to a NYC school that is being used to vote-classic antifa, so probably a Ray Epps wannabe. Nothing is a big surprise. Mediocre arm flailing at best.

I was in line to vote yesterday and opted for a paper ballot, which quite a few people were doing. All ballots - paper or the output from the electronic option, went into the same bin which was about the size of a rolling suitcase. Very lightweight. The guy behind me sarcastically said "gee, like that wouldn't be hard to switch out". I gave him a wry smile. We started talking about how just because something is 'modern and electronic', doesn't mean it is a better system than the mechanical method it replaced. The old 'if it ain't broke....' and I think this is especially applicable to voting systems.

Naomi Wolf mentioned in an essay a couple of days ago that the electronic methods don't count votes as A or B. Rather the algorithm counts as a vote whatever the programmer told it to count as a vote. I think this is a critical point that needs to be emphasized more. The assumption is it works the same as a mechanical method. It doesn't.

Right. Our system needs to be changed, and to your point, it probably needs to go backward, not forward in technology.

It doesn't have to be that way. It is possible, easy in fact, to build an electronic voting machine that is un-fraudable, and 100% accurate each and every time.

It actually takes a lot more work to make a machine that is capable of manipulating votes. That is a much more complex process. But obviously, people have done it.

1 + 1 = 2. Pretty simple really, and computers are really good at adding up numbers. Incredibly fast and 100% accurate.

But as with the shrink and the light bulb, where it only takes one shrink to change the bulb but the bulb really has to want to change, in this case we as a People must really want 100% accurate voting. We're making progress but we're not there yet.

The Republic is having extreme birth pangs right now

A child takes 9 months to become whole

So many things have to happen synergistically for the moment of perfection and release

We have in no way lost anything

The worst thing people can do is give up

That's what the usurpers of freedom are betting on

Don't let them steal your thunder

They've already stolen too much

Steady and ready

Keep prayed up and focused

Q just started drops a few years ago

DJT had a mere one term to drain the massive swamp in DC

Time is a drop in the bucket

Don't waste energy by giving your time to the smugness of despots

This midterm has shown me one thing

We are gathering together in amazing numbers

The old guard is desperate

We will thrive if we keep our movement ALIVE♥️🇺🇸✝️💪

Good Morning. I find your words very inspiring this morning. As I read towards the end of your article, I'm oddly reminded of when my husband and sons used to play Super Mario. They would fight through the world and when they reached the end they would meet the dreaded Bowzer. He would beat them back but they would persist. Each time they would change tactics and learn new skills. It was a learning experience with rewards for those that would succeed. I admit I'm a bit disappointed today, but I think I'll keep fighting. The prize is always at the end. Not the beginning. Thank you.

Thank you, BB. You and Kyle are my 2 favorite analysts... together and individual. Calm, insightful, intelligent and reasonable. God IS blessing us. Stalwarts have been warning us since the 50’s and perhaps before that “An enemy hath done this.” We want all things fixed NOW. We don’t want to be patient. I think the good citizens of our country are being chiseled and polished by God, to become who He needs us to be. It’s painful... this is growth ❤️‍🩹🤍💙

Considering the effort put forth to encourage Republicans to overwhelm the vote, it was encouraging how many listened, but there were ones who listened, agreed and did nothing. The ones who did nothing will vote in 2024 after they go through 2 years of inflation that could have been lessened.

There were crossover Democrats that were worried for the future of their children and voted Republican for the first time ever. Those crossovers are lost to the Democrats forever. They’re not going back. I want to thank the crossovers for realizing what our corrupt government is capable of and hope they can encourage others before 2024.

Thank you again for your very measured assessment of the outcomes yesterday. I had “kind of” considered either there could be a tsunami wave OR a massive Brazil-like outcome, but it appears that your #3 is the likely result. Fetterman will be a great ad for the dems in Congress and other than being a lightening rod to further awaken, won’t have enough juice to impact decisions there. Likewise, the obvious cheating in the Squad’s success; the NY election fraud, too. Interesting that McCarthy is about the only Republican Californian and wants to replace Nancy? Seems like the DS continued. I’m not discouraged as I spent yesterday in the poll with a worker who eventually revealed he’s a Trump & capitalism hater. I carefully threw in red pills, but it was evident that many in this precinct were dem because there was a decided lack of enthusiasm, especially when an adjacent precinct was overwhelmed. My first thought after getting home last night was it’s (election fraud exposure) going to continue and maybe not culminate until ‘24. Deep breath, prayers, and awareness that we must keep up the pressure. AZ, under Kari Lake, is a massive game changer, likely in the legal realm. Your practical assessments are a comfort and as we supporters realize, you are a gifted teacher! Thank you and God bless you!

W (Whiskey)!

At times like this, it’s difficult for me to not be overcome by negative thoughts. My mother used to tell me, “...Control your emotions!” This is not so easy since I’m a ginger.

I find my self wishing that venal, baleful, deviant miscreants who cheated in the 2020 & midterm elections, would have their livers perpetually eaten by vultures like Prometheus, by the hand of Zeus. Or take a ride on the River Styx & I’d pay the ferryman for them. Howbeit, we’re not living in the Iliad, & Zeus does not govern the universe. It’s too easy to get stuck on this lower level of thinking & not see ‘the forest for the trees.’ (& I live in the woods)! Since the most formidable foe is deception, I pray that all lovers of liberty, beginning w/myself, look to the Creator, & seek Him in this late great hour. I’m praying for mercy, truth, & my Father’s justice to prevail, so that my thoughts & ways become agreeable to His Word.

(Isa 55). Unity is essential if we’re ever gonna regain our God-given freedom. Therefore, maybe if we “Aim small miss small”, (my favorite “The Patriot” quote), we’ll sooner than later restore our broken Republic. ✝️🇺🇸

No matter how much they corrupt the results, the "fractured and siloed fraudulent and even criminal collective we often refer to as the Deep State" witnessed the abject failure of their twisted narratives to defeat the hearts and minds of MAGA. It is not enough for them to win by fraud - it is not a win at all. Their ideas have failed and they have failed. Keep resisting!

Hi BB, thank you, I went looking for your commentary on the results of the election this morning and you were right there, calm and logical. It’s not over. I noticed Greg Phillips was laser focused on Arizona last night. So interesting! Praying for Kari Lake, and for my state, which still has a slim chance of a Republican governor, we will know soon I’m told. Something in your writing this morning stirred s memory or deja vu I need to follow up on. Can’t wait to see Rand Paul and Dr. Evil as the evil of vivid is exposed. People are already forgetting the nightmare, and it must be dug up and set straight.
