History is what it is. It is not meant to be reshaped and redesigned to fit the palates of those with today’s opinions and agendas. Facts, warts and all, should be cautionary guideposts, and exaggerating or hiding them diminishes them, and reduces history to a mockery of truth. – at Mesa, AZ

The Book of Mormon is a great witness that the Lord loves all people and reaches out to all, everywhere.
The Book of Mormon adds to our knowledge of how our Savior’s earthly ministry reached out to all of His scattered flock.
Book of Mormon teachings contradict the erroneous assertion that the grace of God saves only a chosen few.
The Book of Mormon teaches that our Savior "inviteth ... all to come unto him" (2 Nephi 26:33). His grace is for all.
Similarly, the Book of Mormon tells us that the children of God in “every nation” have His promise that He “manifesteth himself unto all those who believe in him, by the power of the Holy Ghost” (2 Nephi 26:13).
These promises from the Book of Mormon are true.
I call upon all to act on these truths and to share them with others, that we may all draw closer to Jesus Christ, our Savior.

Democrats want to scrap the Electoral College again.
In 2016 Hillary won the national popular vote by about 2.87 million. She won California alone by about 4.27 million.
The other 49 states and DC went Trump by about 1.4 million. That's why the founders built it.

The wildest thing just happened.
My family decided to go to Burger King tonight. (We don’t go to Burger King but he does Walmart deliveries and gets a discount, so tonight was it.)
Went to one farther away from our house for fun.. anyway, so we’re sitting and eating and it’s dark.. I see a homeless man outside walking past. (It’s not an unusual thing here, most are drugged out, or high. I usually ignore them because it’s dangerous.)
This wasn’t normal. I immediately felt drawn to talk to this man, buy him a meal. Husband says ok so I go outside to ask him if he’d like anything. He gets super animated with a huge smile and says yes!! He’s hungry.
So I ask if he has any preferences, nope- he’s just thankful I asked.. then he says, “what I love is that I didn’t have to ask you- the Spirit spoke to you and you listened.” 😳
say what??
I smiled and said “He sure did.”
So ffwd to buying his dinner for $18 (IYKYK) and he comes into the restaurant with this rose for me (he sells them on the corner!!) and proceeds to tell me how beautiful of a mother I am and my family is blessed, shakes my husband’s hand, thanks him.. and I give him a hug and he tells me more about his life. His name is Seven Thunders from a tribe in MT… and as I tell him goodbye he says “I’ll see you in the Kingdom.”
This was such a special moment. It was SO OBVIOUSLY orchestrated by the Father. Be praying for this man! He blessed me so much tonight.

I have absolutely awful news...
Two Americans and MAGA Trump voters in Charlotte NC have just been k*lled by a drunk-driving illegal immigrant from Mexico.
He is labelled as a "WHITE CAUCASIAN" male in the arrest records, despite being a Mexican illegal alien.
Their names were Rodney Quinn and Dana Osborne.
He was 66. She was 63.
On Saturday, October 24th, around 6:30 in the evening, they were riding down Moores Chapel Road in west Charlotte.
Police say a Honda Pilot turned left out of a driveway onto Moores Chapel Road... right into their path.
Police say the driver FAILED TO YIELD.
Rodney tried to stop his motorcycle, but it wasn’t enough.
The Harley hit the front corner of the Honda, went down on its side, and both of them were THROWN into the road.
They were wearing DOT-approved helmets, they did everything right.
But sadly, paramedics pronounced them both DE*D at the scene.
The driver of the Honda? Police say he had NO INJURIES.
His name is Jose Salas Tzompaxtle, and he’s 36 and an illegal alien from Mexico who has been arrested TWICE before for driving without a license, and was never deported.
Say their names. Rodney Quinn. Dana Osborne.
WE DO NOT HAVE TO LIVE LIKE THIS!!!!!!!

I'm in Arizona and enough is enough with all this political nonsense. I am completely fed up with how crazy things have gotten.
My 26-year-old daughter was actually slapped around today just because she supports Katie Hobbs.
Can you even believe that? Truly a sad state of affairs when my own daughter gets slapped around for voting for Hobbs.
But you know what? I will absolutely do it again if she doesn't change her ways!!

Peter Feigl's parents were desperate to protect their only child. The 13-year-old was sent to a Quaker summer camp in 1942 in an attempt to hide his Jewish identity. Peter longed to keep in touch with his parents, so he dedicated his diary to them and thought of them as he recorded his daily activities. "I wanted them to know everything I did while we were separated." Peter never imagined he had seen them for the last time. They were deported and murdered at Auschwitz.
With the help of the Quakers, Peter was sent to the predominantly Protestant village of Le Chambon sur Lignon in France. The community helped hide nearly 3,500 Jews-many of them children. One of Peter's rescuers took his diary, after he saw that it contained information that could compromise the safety of Peter and those helping him.
With false identity papers, Peter was sent away to a boarding school in Figeac, France. Peter escaped capture when the Germans raided the town. With the help of the Jewish underground, Peter got close enough to the Swiss border to run towards freedom. He lay on the forest floor, awaiting the sounds of dogs barking, signaling a shift change in the guards on the German-occupied French side of the border. Peter ran as the guards fired shots toward him. He crossed the barbed wire and made it safely to neutral Switzerland.
Decades later, Peter was reunited with his diary-containing the only photos of his parents-after a stranger who had purchased it at a flea market in the south of France contacted him.

A public school teacher pretends to shoot President Trump while screaming "DIE!" in front of her class.
The FBI needs to pay this sick woman a visit.
White liberal women are a cancer on society.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This is a video from 2017 of a Dallas ISD art teacher shooting a water gun at a projected image of Trump on his inauguration day while yelling "Die!". The teacher was placed on administrative leave and is no longer with the district.

I have undertaken this project to put a face to 9/11 by posting a photo of everyone killed that day. If after everything that happened you can vote for the ideology that brought it about it's as if you are killing them yourself! Pictured below was 38 year old Sherry Bordeaux who was an accountant with Fiduciary Trust International in the South Tower. It was said of her that she was an honor student when she was in high school and that she was living with her family at the time of her death. She had called her family at 8:48 when the North Tower was struck and left a message but they did not hear the phone because they were watching everything unfold on television. To forget even a single one of these people is a blasphemy!
I’m a scientist, and scientific policies need to be based on fact. I don’t agree with Kennedy‘s universal opposition to vaccines. They ended smallpox and other diseases. However, he is right about the Covid vaccine. It didn’t work. I took the initial two shots, and a booster, and I got Covid three times. And I am not alone.
CNN’s Dana Bash: “I also don't want to use this interview to allow you to say things that aren't entirely true. It is also factually true that the COVID vaccine worked. The COVID vaccine prevented deaths. There is data, upon data, upon data.”
HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.: “You think the COVID vaccine protected children?”
Dana Bash: “I have talked to scientists and doctors…”
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.: “Can you show me one study that shows that children were protected by the COVID vaccine?”
“That that vaccine did more good than harm to children? Can you show me one study that shows that?”
Dana Bash: “There have been studies that show that, because of vaccine disinformation, there could have been 100K to 200K in the U.S. saved But because people didn't get the vaccine, that's why.
Robert F. Kennedy: “You are saying nonsense. You are saying something that you cannot show me a single study.”
Dana Bash: “Excuse me! Excuse me!”
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.: “Cite me the study that you’re talking about. You said you’ve seen studies. Cite me the study.”
Dana Bash: *Can’t cite the study*
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.: “You're talking nonsense. You're making assertions you can't support, and then when I call you on them, you're telling me I'm arguing with you.”
You can’t make this stuff up.
Source: trust me, I read the studies.

HISTORY LESSON ON YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY CARD:
Just in case some of you young whippersnappers (& some older ones) didn’t know this. It’s easy to check out, if you don’t believe it. Be sure and show it to your family and friends. They need a little history lesson on what’s what and it doesn’t matter whether you are Democrat or Republican. Facts are FACTS.
Up until the 1980's, Social Security cards expressly stated the number and card were not to be used for identification purposes.
Since nearly everyone in the United States now has a number, it became convenient to use it anyway and the "NOT FOR IDENTIFICATION" message was removed.
Franklin Roosevelt, a Democrat, introduced the Social Security (FICA) Program. His promises are in black, with updates in brackets.
1.) That participation in the Program would be completely voluntary [No longer voluntary],
2.) That the participants would only have to pay 1% of the first $1,400 of their annual Incomes into the Program [Now 7.65% on the first $90,000, and 15% on the first $90,000 if you’re self-employed],
3.) That the money the participants elected to put into the Program would be deductible from their income for tax purposes each year [No longer tax deductible],
4.) That the money the participants put into the independent ‘Trust Fund’ rather than into the general operating fund, and therefore, would only be used to fund the Social Security Retirement Program, and no other Government program [Under Johnson the money was moved to the General Fund and spent], and
5.) That the annuity payments to the retirees would never be taxed as income [Under Clinton & Gore up to 85% of your Social Security can be taxed].
Since many of us have paid into FICA for years and are now receiving a Social Security check every month — and then finding that we are getting taxed on 85% of the money we paid to the Federal government to ‘put away’ — you may be interested in the following:
Q: Which Political Party took Social Security from the independent ‘Trust Fund’ and put it into the general fund so that Congress could spend it?
A: It was Lyndon Johnson and the democratically controlled House and Senate.
Q: Which Political Party eliminated the income tax deduction for Social Security (FICA) withholding?
A: The Democratic Party.
Q: Which Political Party started taxing Social Security annuities?
A: The Democratic Party, with Al Gore casting the ‘tie-breaking’ deciding vote as President of the Senate, while he was Vice President of the US
AND MY FAVORITE:
Q: Which Political Party decided to start giving annuity payments to immigrants?
A: That’s right! Jimmy Carter and the Democratic Party. Immigrants moved into this country, and at age 65, began to receive Social Security payments! The Democratic Party gave these payments to them, even though they never paid a dime into it!
Now, after violating the original contract (FICA), the Democrats turn around and tell you that the Republicans want to take your Social Security away!
And the worst part about it is uninformed citizens believe it! If enough people receive this, maybe a seed of awareness will be planted and maybe changes will evolve. Maybe not, though. Some Democrats are awfully sure of what isn’t so — but it’s worth a try.

A mother and her three children were stranded far out at sea as rough ocean waters kept pushing them farther and farther from shore.
With no phone, no way to call for help and the water getting worse, she realized they couldn’t all just wait and hope someone found them.
So she made an impossible decision and told her 13-year-old son, Austin, to leave them behind and try to make it back to shore alone.
Austin started out in an inflatable kayak, but the waves kept filling it with water until he was forced to abandon it. Then, realizing his life jacket was slowing him down, he took it off and began the long swim to shore, battling cold, choppy water for nearly four hours.
When he finally made it to shore, he collapsed from exhaustion. But even then, he forced himself back up and kept moving until he found help, knowing every minute mattered for the family he had left behind.
By the time rescuers found his mother, brother and sister, they had been in the water for around 10 hours and had drifted nearly 9 miles offshore. All three were rescued alive.
Austin Appelbee was just 13 years old when he swam for nearly four hours to get help for his family. That’s the kind of young hero the internet should be talking about.
