With the approach of the Grammy Awards, there has been a lot of talk about who was nominated for the big awards like album of the year, but there is one musician who racked up several nominations that I haven't heard anyone talk about, but who arguably deserves the spotlight more than several prominent musicians: Jesse Welles.

Welles is a folk artist from Arkansas who earned four nominations this year, including Best Folk Album for "Under the Powerlines" and Best Americana Album for "Middle." read more

Revelation 13:16-18
New International Version

16 It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, 17 so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name.

18 This calls for wisdom. Let the person who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. That number is 666.

Solomon's Wealth and Splendor
(1 Kings 10:14"29)

13The weight of gold that came to Solomon each year was 666 talents, not including the revenue from the merchants and traders. And all the Arabian kings and governors of the land also brought gold and silver to Solomon.

15King Solomon made two hundred large shields of hammered gold; six hundred shekels of hammered gold went into each shield. 16He also made three hundred small shields of hammered gold; three hundred shekels of gold went into each shield. And the king put them in the House of the Forest of Lebanon.

(The reference to Solomon being a foreshadowing of the AC is because in his old age he lost wisdom, built Temples to many of his foreign wives' gods in Jerusalem, including to Ba-al, and was enamored of all things GOLD.)

17Additionally, the king made a great throne of ivory and overlaid it with pure gold. 18The throne had six steps, and a footstool of gold was attached to it. There were armrests on both sides of the seat, with a lion standing beside each armrest.

19Twelve lions stood on the six steps, one at either end of each step. Nothing like this had ever been made for any kingdom.

20All King Solomon's drinking cups were gold, and all the utensils of the House of the Forest of Lebanon were pure gold. There was no silver, because it was accounted as nothing in the days of Solomon.

21For the king had the ships of Tarshishi that went with Hiram'sj servants, and once every three years the ships of Tarshish would arrive bearing gold, silver, ivory, apes, and peacocks."

The AC likewise loves him some gold... (the 'god of forces' is Apollo the Sun God, of whom there is a massive ceiling mural in Donald Judas Trump's Penthouse in Trump Tower)

All just coincidence, of course.

Bill Clinton CALLS Trump's BLUFF for PUBLIC HEARING on Epstein

Republicans want the Hearing to be Private so they can spin it however they want afterwards.

Bubba says let's make the Hearing public... and they run like hell.

"In fact, the provision represents something not directly asked of voters: the federal government's deliberate shift away from strengthening public education and toward normalizing school privatization."

"That shift comes as the Trump administration continues efforts to dismantle the Department of Education. While current appropriations law has kept much of the agency and its funding formally intact, staffing cuts and administrative rollbacks have already weakened oversight and disrupted services that support low-income students, children with disabilities, and vulnerable families."

"This is not a program meant to enrich donors. There is no financial upside commensurate with the rhetoric surrounding it.

Instead, the real value lies elsewhere " in reshaping federal education policy, embedding private-school subsidies into the tax code, and slowly redefining the federal government's relationship to public education."

"Critics argue that such thresholds undermine claims that the program is narrowly targeted to families with limited means, especially in a state still struggling to fully fund its public schools.

"School voucher programs drain dollars from public schools in ways that are indiscriminate and difficult to predict," Pennsylvania school board member Ariel Zych said during a January 28th virtual press conference, "making it harder to build responsible budgets and retain teachers."

---

"By embedding school choice in federal tax policy, conservatives and voucher advocates are seeking to normalize private alternatives as a permanent part of the education ecosystem, even in states where voters and lawmakers have repeatedly rejected voucher expansion.

Last year, more than 150 public education organizations, standing in opposition to voucher expansion, wrote a joint letter to governors saying that their coalition is "not rejecting funding; it is rejecting the dismantling of public schools."
