THE MOST TRUTHFUL VIDEO ON WHY KARMELO ANTHONY GOT 35 YEARS IN PRISON!!! BLACK FOLKS SUPPORTING THE ANTHONY FAMILY HAD BETTER WAKE TF UP!!!

Take a moment to read this - it's from someone I regularly interact with on here. Someone who consistently has funny and thoughtful takes. Oh, and she's a black woman.

Tom Bombadil is the most mysterious character in The Lord of the Rings. He's the oldest being in Middle-earth and completely immune to the Ring's power — but why? Bombadil is the key to the underlying ethics of the entire story, and to resisting evil yourself... Tom Bombadil is an enigmatic, merry hermit of the countryside, known as "oldest and fatherless" by the Elves. He is truly ancient, and claims he was "here before the river and the trees." He's so confounding that Peter Jackson left him out of the films entirely. This is understandable, since he's unimportant to the development of the plot. Tolkien, however, saw fit to include him anyway, because Tom reveals a lot about the underlying ethics of Middle-earth, and how to shield yourself from evil. The hobbits meet Bombadil early on in their quest, before they reach Bree and the Prancing Pony Inn. He rescues Merry and Pippin from Old Man Willow, and invites the hobbits to stay at his house in the Old Forest. There, the hobbits realize something strange about him: the Ring has no power over Bombadil whatsoever. When he wears it, he remains visible. He treats it as a plaything, making it disappear with a magic trick. Indeed, at the Council of Elrond, Gandalf rejects the idea of giving the Ring to Tom, for he would likely misplace it or forget about it entirely. So just who is he, exactly? When Frodo asks this very question to Tom's wife Goldberry, she simply responds "He is." It's a cryptic answer that echoes God's famous answer to Moses in the Book of Exodus: "I am who I am." Thus, many theorize that Bombadil is God, some kind of angelic being, or even the spirit of the Music of the Ainur (due to the fact that he is constantly singing). But Tolkien's letters reveal something considerably more interesting… In April 1954, Tolkien wrote: "The story is cast in terms of a good side, and a bad side, beauty against ruthless ugliness, tyranny against kingship… but both sides in some degree, conservative or destructive, want a measure of control.But if you have, as it were, taken a 'vow of poverty', renounced control, and take your delight in things for themselves without reference to yourself… then the questions of the rights and wrongs of power and control might become utterly meaningless to you, and the means of power quite valueless…" So, Bombadil is a representation of what it means to take pure delight in the world around you — to experience people and things simply as they are, without any thought for what they could be or how you could use them. And this is why the Ring has no power over him. To Bombadil, the One Ring is simply a ring, and the possibilities of what can be achieved through its power are of no importance. He is able to resist its evil precisely because he is entirely content with the world around him. At the end of the story, having accomplished what he set out to do in Middle-earth, Gandalf pays Tom a visit before returning to the Undying Lands: "I am going to have a long talk with Bombadil: such a talk as I have not had in all my time." If Bombadil is the epitome of simply enjoying life and being, Gandalf is the epitome of doing. He guides the hobbits, fights the Balrog, and runs up and down Middle-earth to help destroy the One Ring. But now that he's finally liberated from doing, he immediately heads to Bombadil's. He does so with a sense of relief, as if he's at last able to access a purer and higher mode of being — a sort of innocence that cannot be fully experienced by those consumed by doing. Of course, by this Tolkien doesn't disparage the value of action. The entirety of LOTR displays the importance of rising up against evil, even in the face of all odds. But with the inclusion of Bombadil, he does remind readers that fighting isn't all there is. Bombadil reminds us that while it's important to strive and *do*, it is just as important to occasionally step back and *be*. Indeed, your ability to do so plays a crucial role in helping you resist the allure of evil… Read the full piece here: theculturist.io/welcome The unsung hero of The Lord of the Rings...

Help me expose her! This is the new Lord Mayor of Belfast, Róis-Máire Donnelly, in her inauguration speech on 1 June 2026 During the speech she says: "Diversity enriches our city, and the lives of all of our citizens, and I will champion that diversity" Not even two weeks later diversity tried to behead a citizen. She should be removed as Lord Mayor.

I am truly perplexed that so many people are against mosques being built... I think it should be the goal of every Western Society to be tolerant regardless of their religious beliefs. Thus mosques should be allowed, in an effort to promote tolerance. That is why I also propose that two nightclubs be opened next door to the mosque, thereby promoting tolerance from within the mosque. We could call one of the clubs, which would be gay, "The Turban Cowboy ", and the other a topless bar called "You Mecca Me Hot." Next door should be a butcher shop that specializes in pork, and adjacent to that an open-pit barbecue pork restaurant, called "Iraq o' Ribs." Across the street there could be a lingerie store called "Victoria Keeps Nothing Secret ", with sexy mannequins in the window modeling the goods. Next door to the lingerie shop there would be room for an adult sex toy shop, "Koranal Knowledge ", its name in flashing neon lights, and on the other side an off-licence called "Morehammered." All of this would encourage Muslims to demonstrate the tolerance they demand of us, so their mosque issue would not be a problem for others.

Stop engaging with Hunter Biden.

America should allow Israel to defend itself. Do it, Israel. Do not let anyone deny your right to protect your children, your women, and your people from the terrorism and aggression of the Islamic regime in Iran. Do not negotiate away your security. Stand firm against those who threaten innocent lives. As Scripture says: "Let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream."

ABSOLUTE. CINEMA.

Please sue the ignorant woman and the two so called: bobble headed hostesses for not correcting her. And then sue CNN out of our lives. They have become an enemy to us citizens and just let all kinds of lies and made-up garbage get on it without correcting it. think for yourselves folks. SHUN ALL THE LEFTWING OWNED MEDIAS.

All the posts yesterday: my great uncle’s roommate’s brother stormed Normandy, and Hegseth would have disgusted him. Fine. Name one thing on this Democrat agenda list that a landing craft full of 18-year-olds from the Greatest Generation would have supported in 1944: COVID vaccine mandates Mass immigration Non-citizens voting Gay marriage Abortion on demand Migrant hotel spending Transgender athletes in women’s sports Gender transitions for minors Defunding the police Fentanyl flooding over open borders Cashless bail Sanctuary cities The Afghanistan withdrawal FBI coordination with social media platforms A press that carries water for one party DEI hiring and admissions Stripping parents of a say in their kids’ schools Soft-on-crime prosecutors Anti-Christian contempt dressed up as tolerance Pregnant women and their unborn babies in combat LGBTQ flags flying in churches Soft woke generals and admirals Decriminalized retail theft Massive foreign aid while Americans are starving They crossed an ocean to defend a country. Ask yourself if it was this one. Anyone thinking your great uncle’s roommate’s brother who fought on D-Day would be disgusted by MAGA is projecting. It’s FAR more likely they would be disgusted by support for the chemical castration of young boys.

Funny

Mormons are some of the most disingenuous apologists for their religion in the public square. Instead of clearly defining and defending their beliefs as distinct from historic Christianity, Mormon apologetics seem to center on blurring lines as much as possible with historic Christianity, essentially preying on the ignorant. Jesus said to his disciples, “What I tell you in the dark, say in the light, and what you hear whispered, proclaim on the housetops.” Paul wrote to the Corinthians, “We refuse to practice cunning or to tamper with God’s word, but by the open statement of the truth we would commend ourselves to everyone’s conscience in the sight of God.” But we rarely hear Mormons openly proclaiming their distinctives, such as their rejection of the Trinity, their belief in preexistent spirits, their view of Jesus and Lucifer as brothers, their claim that man can become as God, and their many other doctrines ranging from laughable absurdity to damnable blasphemy. Christians meanwhile do not need to rely on obfuscation to advance our faith. The word of the gospel is the power of God for salvation, which is why we can speak truth plainly and trust God to work, even when those truths are unpopular in our culture. But false religions and cults such as Mormonism lack this power, forcing them to rely on deceptive, obfuscatory, and underhanded tactics instead of the rigor of their own claims.

The Somerset Farmhouse of 1 North Street, Williton were approached by a "food influencer" that wanted to charge them £2,000 for a review. They put out a video of Sally eating a sausage roll instead 😆. Lets make Sally and the Somerset Farmhouse famous for free.

America routinely taking days/weeks to count ballots now is f’n hilarious. They might as well announce results in Hamburglar costumes
