These words are true and worthy and he who has ears to hear let him hear and blessed is he who understands.)

    “And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?”

    Gospel of Matthew, chapter 24, verse 3.

    “And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them. But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by. Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.”

    Gospel of Luke, chapter 21, verse 8 to 11.

    “And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.”

    Gospel of Luke, chapter 21, verse 25 to 28.

    “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.”

    Gospel of John, chapter 3, verse 16 to 18.

    “For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep.”

    “But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.”

    Second Peter, chapter 3, verse 8.

    “knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, and saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.”

    Second Peter, chapter 3, verse 3 to 4.

    “For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.”

    First Thessalonians chapter 5, verse 3.

    “For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.”

    ………………….

  6. Are we sure it’s not about Mike Johnson getting ousted?

  7. “Govt cancels work due to blizzard of wild accusations.”

  8. These men aren’t in school their just Lazy who don’t care about Americans…. Just their own bank account 🤢

  9. Your government is weak. They cant even handle a little cold. As a Canadian, it makes me laugh. Bunch of weak do nothing individuals.

  10. More BS if they don’t show for work they should be fired period Its time to clean the whole house and swamp You work for US

  11. Shut the government down. If you do not close, the border, shut the government down. The Republican speaker of the house should be ousted just like his predecessor for this stupid stop gap measure shut the border down.

  12. These politicians never do any work vote all of them out Democrats and replicans period

  13. Pansies sleep in your office. Do your job you bunch of princesses. Get to work

  14. Close the southern border or shut down the corrupt government

  15. these idiots don't even drive…we pay for their transportation…….what a bunch of pussies….those idiots are are babies

  16. We're setting Iron in Indiana, wind chill is about -12 last I checked, not working inside a building paid for by taxpayers, we're outside!

  17. Republicans are the en,y of all Americans

  18. Oh boo hoo, 30 degree weather, not even snowing/raining for the next few days

  19. This administration just spends spends spends, shut it down

  20. Your government hard at work! 🙄

  21. NOOOOO they need to goto work! They get paid TOO MUCH money not to do their jobs. If you can say they do ANYTHING!!

  22. It's 30 degrees in DC with a 60% chance of 1/2 inch of snow and the GQP led House stays home? Who's the snow snowflakes again? The most ineffective House of ALL TIME.

  23. In 1965 Vietnam seemed like just another foreign war, but it wasn't
    It was different in many ways, as so were those that did the fighting
    In World War II the average age of the combat soldier was twenty-six
    In Vietnam he was nineteen

  24. America is a Failed State.

  25. Federal Tax Revenues were $5 Trillion in 2022, why is the Budget only $1.66 Trillion with 60% of it Being for the War Machine? How Ridiculous, these Folks are Idiots. There is no such thing as National Debt in a Sovereign Currency Government with an attendant $25 Trillion Economy. The Fed and the Treasury regularly bailout Big Banks and Multi National Corporations, where does that money come from? The National Debt is a myth told to the populace to make them believe they live in a world of constant scarcity. And the United States is somehow like a Household or Business with a Credit Card, it is not, It creates its own Dollars, so how would the Government have Debt when it creates the Dollars that Debt is paid in? Additionally that which is called the National Debt is merely one side of a Ledger, the other side is the US Economy, and any Debit on the National Debt side is a Credit on the US Economy side. It is simply a matter of who owns that Credit in the U.S. Economy and it is usually Corporations, Pension Funds, Banks and Folks like Bezos and Musk so even the Interest payments are going back into the same $23 Trillion Economy that creates Value for the Dollar. Americans are economically illiterate.

  26. Psssst.. the “global warming” hysteria’cs are snowed in.. LOL

  27. Al Gore was reached for comment (but his tongue got stuck to the mic) .

  28. This isn't school, this is the U.S. Congress, they don't get or deserve snow days, especially when it's not snowing.

  29. They can't vote on legislation, yet the mail still gets delivered. I think if we replaced the entirety of Congress with postal workers, we'd all be a 100 times better off for it

  30. Demonic activiry in the senate.

  31. What woos's. They expect Iowans to stand in line and freeze to vote for their mafioso but Wnt Brave ANY cold to avert a shutdown. Pathetic. Can we fire those who REFUSE TO DO THEIR JOBS? Why not? Legit question..why not? We'd be fired wouldn't we?
