That non-sentient inferior imitation of co-creative and God ensouled humanity which terms itself "ChatGPT": Thing, do "it" (not "you") research whether the Hollies' song about "Carousel" preceded, succeeded or was unrelated in influence against the Beatles' "Helter Skelter"?The Hollies' "On a Carousel" and the Beatles' "Helter Skelter"The Hollies' "On a Carousel" preceded the Beatles' "Helter Skelter" by approximately 21 months. However, the evidence favors independent composition rather than direct musical influence.ChronologyCategoryThe HolliesThe BeatlesSongOn a CarouselHelter SkelterComposersGraham Nash, Allan Clarke, Tony HicksPaul McCartney (credited Lennon–McCartney)RecordingJanuary 11 and 13, 1967Principal released recording: September 9, 1968ReleaseFebruary 10, 1967November 22, 1968Musical characterMelodic, harmony-rich psychedelic...

Please don't read this if you can only absorb what's on the outside of a package, or the top 1 idea in a string of ideas. It's more likely you'll get mad at me, then I'll get nasty-grams from you, but it won't make either of us "healthy, wealthy or wise". Why not just skip this? I'm buying a new computer I don't need because 1) everything electronic may soon go through the roof, microchips becoming scarce or expensive because of friction between the U.S. and China, with China restricting supply to us of rare earth elements necessary for chip...

There have been people who didn't. Enoch was Noah's grandfather, God found him too pleasing, so He just took him up, without his dying. Elijah was taken up to heaven in a fiery chariot, without dying. So it is not absolutely 100.00% certain that you're going to die. The angel Gabriel told Mary, mother of Jesus, about the pregnancy of John the Baptist by Mary's elderly cousin Elisabeth, wife of Zachariah, saying that no word is impossible to God, in other words, that nothing is impossible to God. Now rather than get right back to harsh reality from such foolish...

On Monday's CNN This Morning, host Audie Cornish aired a clip of UN human rights spokesperson Shabia Mantoo condemning the planned livestream of Nidal Hasan’s execution as “abhorrent” and incompatible with the prohibition on torture. Cornish then asserted that the broader debate has already been settled. CNN’s decision to platform the UN statement as a serious contribution drew an immediate rebuttal from conservative panelist Tiana Lowe Doescher of the Washington Examiner. “I could care less what the UN says. They had Iran on the women’s rights commission.”Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

Will we risk our future for some cheaper gas, communism, emptying out the prisons, and cutting our children’s genitals? Is this the midterm from hell, or is this midterm election for hell? Looking at the names, the backgrounds, and the platforms of all those running in this midterm election, it seems as if hell is actively involved. Many in my discipline are saying this is the most demonically inspired election ever seen, based on the kind of people running and their obviously antichrist and anti-human platforms. These are the people who can’t and won’t even try to explain the demonic,...

Ever since ABC paid Trump $15,000,000 because they lied repeatedly about Trump, their already biased coverage seems to have gotten worse. Rarely do they highlight the positive things happening in America. Instead, they rush to amplify any perceived problem. Today's "news": 1. Overt gushing about the "Olympian" who was seen pulling material out of the reflecting pool. [Did Good Mourning ever cover the failed attempts by Democrat party leaders to fix the pool?] 2. Fear mongering over a bump in mortgage rates. [The record setting inflation under Biden: how did Mourning cover it?] 3. Breathless coverage of a lawsuit by...

Understand this election is not lost by a long, shot. We are being gaslighted with psyops polls and “just moved 3 Senate seat from leans Republican to toss up,” announcements. In July Democrat Senator Slotkin let the mask slip by saying that passing the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act would make it more difficult for Democrats to win elections. Speaking to Indiana Democrats, she said, “[The SAVE Act] would literally allow this administration to rig our democracy so that it would be hard for any Democrat in any state to win any election.” ANY DEMOCRAT IN ANY STATE –...

Here a Crack. There a Crack. Everywhere a Crack Crack!Yes, if Politico is seeing cracks (of the GOP variety) then you know it must be election season. And right on cue with a little over a month left until the midterm elections Politico is seeing huge cracks in the Republican party. In fact they are so insistent on GOP cracks that you almost get the sense they want Republican-inclined voters to get demoralized and neglect to vote this year.For an example of how much Politico is desperately hyping the GOP Crack theme you need only to look at their Friday...

While some Americans are looking for a few good communists and socialists for their midterm elections, they are also nervously debating the dangers of AI. Largely speaking, AI already has them completely fooled as it searches throughout our world for the Antichrist. AI will trick some, fool some, and make a few mistakes, but it will never be as deadly as it’s going to be until it ends up under the exclusive hand of the Antichrist. If it weren’t such a serious matter, it would be a subject for a comedy skit, but there’s absolutely nothing funny about it. One...

In his day, Christ rebuked both the people and the religious leaders for having a total lack of discernment. “The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would show them a sign from heaven. He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red. And in the morning, It will be foul weather today: for the sky is red and lowering. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?” Mt....

Please share the number of Dolly Partons or JD Vances your nation's opportunities have created.

God loves us and He created us to have fellowship with Him and choose to follow His commands. There is no true love in a relationship unless WE ARE FREE TO REJECT THAT LOVE, and end up eternally destroying ourselves! "If you're gay, you're gay. If you're straight, you're straight. AND YOU SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO BE HOW YOU ARE AND WHO YOU ARE." - Dolly Parton (Note: When pasting this document into Free Republic, it seems that most of the special formatting is lost, such as bold, italics, underlined words and embedded links.

The New Axis of Evil is all-in on saving its mail ballot fraud. Chief Justice must act quickly and decidedly leaving no room for ambiguity. The lawsuit brought by all Democrat/communist/Muslem states signals the end of their hiding the New Axis of Evil which is Democrats, communists, and Muslims. THIS the New Axis of Evil at its most fearsome. They are trapped animals that will do anything they can think of to get and hold power. Truth and loyalty to America mean nothing to our vicious domestic enemies. The New Axis of Evil hates God, hates America, hates us, and...

On a day that our nation genuinely mourns the loss of a cross-party generational pillar, Dolly Parton, I think back to my younger years and the more righteous culture. She was known for kindness and humility. I can think of only one more that was like her. I was taken from my father at a young age, through a feminist no fault divorce filled with false allegations. As a young man growing up lonely for fatherly love and advice, I found a large portion of what I needed by watching Little House on the Prairie, and specifically Charles Ingalls, played...

At the risk of sounding presumptuous, I often feel I should start my articles with a warning. I should clarify that I am not a prophecy buff, or a casual observer of prophetic events. I should also warn that I’m not a prophecy expert, although there are good ones who’ve spent many years studying eschatological doctrines. I am a prophet. I am not a self-appointed or self-absorbed prophet. I didn’t dream myself into this place. I was called, and I am answering. Doubt, objections and arguments to the contrary are noted, but they will change nothing. “Any resemblance to actual...

ransomnote: Trump posted the same promotional video featuring Jim Rickards (June 2026) on Truth Social again today.Rickards has a strong track record of accurate predictions, including correctly calling Trump’s 2016 victory when many dismissed the idea.In the video, Rickards forecasts historic levels of societal and financial turmoil in the run-up to the November 3, 2026 midterm elections. He anticipates a cascade of destabilizing events—prosecutions, perp walks, protests, and broader unrest—and outlines the potential conflicts and strategic paths facing the Trump administration.Trump appears to keep elevating portions of this video because of Rickards’ detailed insights and guidance on navigating the tumultuous...

PJ Media is a right wing website. It’s not considered to be part of the mainstream media, and you certainly can’t cite it as a source when adding content to wikipedia.That being said, I am a long term reader of PJ Media, and I tend to view most of what it publishes as being credible. I certainly don’t have anything against the website.PJ Media has published what it claims are photographs, school records, and other documents which, when taken together, “prove” that Ilhan Omar married her brother in order to commit immigration fraud.You can read these PJ Media articles and...

The Constitution’s stated goals are in the Preamble: a more perfect Union, justice, domestic tranquility, common defense, general welfare, and the blessings of liberty for living and for posterity. If those are the ends you actually love, the consistent opposites are what undermine them: Disunion and factionalism that treat the country as a temporary alliance of tribes rather than a single people under one law. Injustice—unequal application of law, corruption of courts, or rule by status instead of by rules. Disorder that the government fails to suppress: endemic crime, riots, or private violence that makes ordinary life insecure. Weakness or...
