"Could a doll from the 1950s and a Hollywood movie be connected to an ancient, Mesopotamian goddess and to the end times?"
"Could there actually be a dark mystery behind 'Barbie'?"
These are just two of the questions raised by best-selling biblical author Jonathan Cahn in a new video probing the origins of the blockbuster film starring Margot Robbie as the popular doll come to life.
"The fact that Hollywood could take that doll and turn it into an attack on half of the human race, on marriage, on life itself is a sign of just how sickened our culture has become," says Cahn in is video titled: "The Mystery Of Barbie, Ishtar, and Smashed Babies!"
"This has to be the most widely distributed anti-man movie ever made," he explains.

The Left has learned that: If you can't beat an American icon, you appropriate it and destroy the very premise on which it existed. Very effective.

I saw it, with the wife, and thought it cute and funny. Apparently, the humor is too subtle for some.

Yeah. let's get hair on fire overthinking a movie while much more important matters get the "What can you do?" treatment from the Conservative Inc. squishes.

^ No no no, the word you were looking for is "nuanced". Gots to keep up on your Lefty tropes. But sure, it's just too "nuanced" for the rubes. Glad you got your $ worth.

There is some Ishtar stuff that makes sense to me like the new Justice statue and Madonna’s unfortunate plastic surgery. The Barbie Movie seems a step to far, but I am not curious enough about the flick to view it.

Talk about anti-man movies, I caught the tail end of Thelma and Louise on TV yesterday. Wow. They hated men so much that they drove off a cliff. Maybe we'd be better off if all the women who hate men did that but it was a shame what they did to that old Thunderbird.

[BEE] WASHINGTON, D.C. — In a heartwarming ceremony, President Joe Biden awarded the prestigious Medal of Honor to Kaleo Manuel for his work conserving water during the deadly Hawaii wildfires.
"When people begged for water to save their homes, their very lives - Mr. Manuel had the courage to stand firm and say 'No'," said President Biden. "That's the kind of climate change warrior this administration wants to honor."
According to reports, Mr. Manuel boldly refused to release water to put out the raging fires because the water could be needed for something more important in the future. "If you quit believing in water conservation the moment your house catches fire, then you don't believe in water conservation at all," said Mr. Manuel in a speech. "We have to start saving water today, and push out those negative voices saying 'I'm burning alive' and 'This is the end'. We have to hold firm if we're going to build an equitable climate for future generations."
President Biden reportedly looks to capitalize on Mr. Manuel's success by placing him in charge of the administration's Climate Action Committee. "We think he has what it takes," said senior aide Lisa Lemon. "We've got to cut off hungry people from inexpensive food, poor people from inexpensive transportation, and light-skinned people from oxygen. Mr. Manuel seems like the perfect fit."
At publishing time, Democrats had announced they would be cutting all drinking water to Hawaii in an effort to save even more water.

Around 1000 people missing (incinerated by the massive flames?).
How to help.
https://hawaii.salvationarmy.org
The Salvation Army's Kahului Corps has already provided thousands of meals at Maui County and American Red Cross emergency shelters and is expanding across the island, the nonprofit announced in a press release Wednesday.

Here's the deal folks, as one who lost all (except actual living) in the Tubbs fire we all know that of the missing - they're all dead. And the remains of those poor souls will not be found ever - or for a very long time. Note well that the Dem media seems very quiet about this event. Remember this when Dems start puking about "...it's for the children". It's looking like "the children" were bunt at the stake of Gaia.

[RedState] In this episode of "Try to Control Your Shock and Amazement"...
As the Biden Border Crisis continues, unabated — by my count, roughly 31 months and running — a startling new statistic illustrates the perils of an open border.
U.S. Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) agents have recorded a roughly 800 percent increase in illegal aliens from China crossing the U.S.-Mexico border, according to updated federal data released on Friday.
What could possibly go wrong?
We should shudder at the thought. Consider the following:
Between October 2022 and July 2023, there were roughly 17,700 illegal alien encounters with Chinese nationals along the border — compared to just 1,970 in all of fiscal year 2022, according to the data. And in March, CBP sent a memo (exclusively obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation) to agency officials warning of a growing surge of Chinese illegal aliens.
The loosened COVID protocols in China have allowed Chinese nationals to flee repressive rule in China and begin their journey to the United States seeking better living conditions.
According to CBP, custodial interviews indicate that Chinese citizens are requesting asylum claiming religious persecution by the Chinese Government due to their Christian faith.
Additionally, Chinese nationals reportedly make their own smuggling arrangements for most of their journey, only utilizing elements of smuggling networks to cross the border.
"Sino Joe" Biden was unavailable for comment.
Listen, I'm not an expert in foreign espionage, of course, but you don't have to be James Bond to guess that ruthless communist dictator Xi Jinping and his ChiCom pals in Beijing have been smart enough to infiltrate the massive surge in Chinese nationals with agents of the government.
Again, as the crisis continues, what could possibly go wrong?
Gordon Chang, respected author of “The Coming Collapse of China,” and Fox News contributor, previously told the DCNF that there are obvious, potential national security concerns associated with the Chinese surge.
When I first saw that the surge in Chinese migrants, that’s the thought that came to my mind — that these are either Ministry of State Security agents or Chinese military, who are coming to this country to commit acts of sabotage against the U.S.
Therein lies a perfect example of the danger of the Biden Border Crisis.
In the mind of Biden and Democrats, the security of America be damned — with deference to their hellbent efforts to import as many (what they perceive as) future Democrat voters as they can. Think about that.

have been smart enough to infiltrate the massive surge in Chinese nationals with agents of the government.
Don't need to. These folks will be working in Chinese restaurants or growing marijuana in California or Maine. Meanwhile the US invites hundred of thousands of Chinese into universities, laboratories and tech companies where secrets are wide open for the taking.

How big a 5th column have they infiltrated into the interior US is anybody's guess, but it has to number in the thousands. This isn't enemy in the wire, its enemy in the mess-hall and using the latrines and showers. When Taiwan pops, its going to be shocking only to those not paying attention.
So, in Chernigov, the enemy decided yesterday to carry out some analogue of our Dronnitsa. For those who don't know, this is a conference of developers, manufacturers and operators of UAVs. The most important thing in the current conflict. UAVs cause damage no less, and perhaps even more than missiles. Yesterday "Gerani" struck two military targets in Western Ukraine, among them - a warehouse of shells. The explosion took out glass in a couple of neighboring villages. The enemy, again yesterday, struck at our air base. Damaged the plane.
Of course, this kind of conference, where they discuss how to improve drones, reduce the cost and produce more, should be stopped. Stopped this one too. Iskander, according to the enemy.
And then miracles begin. More precisely, not miracles, but the competent work of the enemy media. The conference of drone pilots instantly turned into an exhibition of peaceful UAVs, its venue turned into a civilian object, photos and videos went to the Network in a dosed manner, at the right angle and from the right perspective, Russian media connected ...
But stop here. No, no one directly accused, we have laws for this case. Rigid. True, not for everyone, a couple of large TG channels openly washed their country, but for some reason they can. They are different.
But in terms of large media, a fig in your pocket was quite noticeable. That's how we live. At night, on the contrary, the enemy attacked the building of the railway station Kursk. A lot of photos and videos from any angle, a detailed presentation of all the details to the media ... And no accusations in that direction. Just do. Hype in its purest form. And a detailed report to the enemy. And about air defense, and about the nature of the damage.
About the Luna-25 station, and about the chorus of geeks who are now dancing with happiness and yelling that we are not given, I just keep quiet. In the Russian Federation, you can spit on the country. Freedom. What does not understand what and why - namely, do not care.
The difference is big - someone writes - we have problems, here, and this is normal and good, but someone gets orgasms from the failures of their country, and this ... In the same way, we can merge the work of air defense, destruction from attacks, movement of vehicles, and much more.
You can hold IPSO instead of Kyiv, publishing fictitious dates of fictitious events, you can demand that military personnel be imprisoned for patriotism, under the guise of a turbopatriot ... A lot of things are possible.
And maybe it's time to end this? After all, the Crimeans proposed a case - at least for "funny" videos with the work of air defense to be fined. I would also add for the military with other strategic objects. And I would clarify by discrediting. More precisely began to apply a little differently. And he would explain where freedom is, and where permissiveness is. Just don't cross that line. As a result, we are going to this and will come of course, because war has its own laws, but time and price ... Author

It seems like “workers” is probably stretched a bit in several of the bottom states. Track marks are generally not a sign of someone who is worried about locating a W2 at the end of January.

Let’s just say that in California, for instance, you won’t have trouble finding day workers to dry-wall your house. Also, if you are looking to hire someone to lie on a bench in a catatonic state - no problem, plenty of candidates. That’s heavy competition, if you are looking for that type of work.
There are considerably fewer candidates that want to be or are qualified to be policemen. When looking at the cost of living in California, also figure in actual price versus the price tag. Many goods are priced high there, but are functionally free in practice.

Well, when the pipeline project folded, most of the high rent workers had to leave. This is also why they're having so many bank failures in the area.

I would say that it is impossible for anyone to be more consistently wrong over that many years. Biden might have a better foreign policy record than hers. He was against son Neocon stuff for 30 seconds or so. He wins the tie.

[EPOCH-TV] The Trump indictments are not merely to harm former President Donald Trump or to distract from growing Biden family scandals, says James Lindsay.
They’re part of a fifth-generation warfare strategy from Saul Alinsky's "Rule for Radicals," Mr. Lindsay argues. "What you're seeing is an escalating provocation to tell the American people: 'We're going to take Trump down. We're going to persecute our political opponent ... You might as well treat America as a banana republic and give up on it. And maybe even it's time for you to take to the streets and have another Jan. 6 and rally for Trump in some way that they're going to be able to funnel into some kind of action that they can move the ball with—just like they did with Jan. 6."
Mr. Lindsay is the founder of the New Discourses, author of "The Marxification of Education" and "Race Marxism," and one of America’s leading authorities on radical leftist writings and ideologies.

[Federalist] While planning a week-long trip to the Seattle area recently, I wondered aloud to my husband if we should rent a Tesla. Neither of us had ever driven an electric vehicle before. The price difference between the long-range Tesla Model 3 and a standard mid-size gas-fueled vehicle was pretty negligible.
We agreed it would be an interesting learning experience despite our objections to the eco-agenda to phase out gas-powered vehicles. We also don’t believe EVs are particularly environmentally friendly since they need batteries that require the strip-mining of rare earth minerals such as lithium and cobalt. The World Economic Forum knows this very well and is likely looking for heavy limits on EV mobility after eliminating gas-powered vehicles.
But more people like us are also finding some very practical reasons to object to Teslas. There’s a glut of them on the market now despite subsidies and price reductions. After test-driving one for an entire week (instead of just 30 minutes,) we learned we will never buy a Tesla or any EV as long as we have the option of gas-powered vehicles or even hybrids. Read on for seven big reasons why. (Yes, "mileage may vary.")
