So Much More: Creating Space for God (Lectio Divina and Scripture Meditation)
Good Friday is the darkest and most solemn day on the Christian calendar. Yet, because of Jesus’s sacrifice—a sacrifice that changes everything—it truly becomes good. In this Scripture meditation, we step into the scene at the cross, where Jesus is crucified between two criminals. We witness the reactions of those around Him—the mocking soldiers, the mourning crowd, the two criminals beside Him. And in the midst of it all, we hear Jesus’s powerful words of grace and forgiveness: "Father, forgive them, for they don’t know what they are doing." Even in His suffering, Jesus extends mercy. Through this Good Friday meditation, you’ll be invited to: Enter the scene and observe those around the cross. Reflect on the words and actions of Jesus. Sit at the foot of the cross and thank Him for what He endured for you. Take a moment to pause, reflect, and let the weight of this day settle in. As you listen, may you encounter Jesus’s love, grace, and mercy in a deeper way. Get your free Lent Journal here. Here are some additional helpful links: Download your free LENT guide here.

When they came to a place called The Skull, they nailed him to the cross. And the criminals were also crucified—one on his right and one on his left. Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they don’t know what they are doing.” And the soldiers gambled for his clothes by throwing dice. The crowd watched and the leaders scoffed. “He saved others,” they said, “let him save himself if he is really God’s Messiah, the Chosen One.” The soldiers mocked him, too, by offering him a drink of sour wine. They called out to him, “If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself!” A sign was fastened above him with these words: “This is the King of the Jews.” One of the criminals hanging beside him scoffed, “So you’re the Messiah, are you? Prove it by saving yourself—and us, too, while you’re at it!” But the other criminal protested, “Don’t you fear God even when you have been sentenced to die? We deserve to die for our crimes, but this man hasn’t done anything wrong.” Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your Kingdom.” And Jesus replied, “I assure you, today you will be with me in paradise.” Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

Today’s Bible Verse: “The people stood watching, and the rulers even sneered at him. They said, “He saved others; let him save himself if he is God’s Messiah, the Chosen One.” - Luke 23:35
The Chosen One willing and resolutely rode into Jerusalem to bring justice so that you might be declared just before God.This sermon based on Isaiah 42:1-4 was preached on Palm Sunday, April 13, 2025.
Our reading this week is Luke's account of Jesus' crucifixion. You may be thinking, “But wait, it isn't Good Friday yet!” This is true. But the cross of Christ is central to the life of the Christian and is at the heart of our preparation for Easter Sunday. Before we take a time warp and go back to where all this was set in motion, on Palm Sunday, we will meditate on the Cross of Christ in preparation for Holy Week. Luke 23:26-43 (ESV)And as they led him away, they seized one Simon of Cyrene, who was coming in from the country, and laid on him the cross, to carry it behind Jesus. And there followed him a great multitude of the people and of women who were mourning and lamenting for him. But turning to them Jesus said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children. For behold, the days are coming when they will say, ‘Blessed are the barren and the wombs that never bore and the breasts that never nursed!' Then they will begin to say to the mountains, ‘Fall on us,' and to the hills, ‘Cover us.' For if they do these things when the wood is green, what will happen when it is dry?”Two others, who were criminals, were led away to be put to death with him. And when they came to the place that is called The Skull, there they crucified him, and the criminals, one on his right and one on his left. And Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” And they cast lots to divide his garments. And the people stood by, watching, but the rulers scoffed at him, saying, “He saved others; let him save himself, if he is the Christ of God, his Chosen One!” The soldiers also mocked him, coming up and offering him sour wine and saying, “If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself!” There was also an inscription over him, “This is the King of the Jews.”One of the criminals who were hanged railed at him, saying, “Are you not the Christ? Save yourself and us!” But the other rebuked him, saying, “Do you not fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation? And we indeed justly, for we are receiving the due reward of our deeds; but this man has done nothing wrong.” And he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.” And he said to him, “Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in paradise.”

If this happened during the events of Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith, Order 65 could have drastically altered the galaxy's fate. By exposing Palpatine's manipulation and his secret identity as Darth Sidious, the Jedi could have united the Republic's forces, including the clone troopers, against him instead of being targeted by Order 66. This would have preserved the Jedi Order, potentially avoided the rise of the Empire, and allowed Anakin Skywalker to fulfill his role as the Chosen One without succumbing to the dark side. The survival of the Jedi would have meant a stronger, unified resistance against the Sith's influence, fundamentally changing the balance of power in the galaxy and preserving hope and peace for generations.

“‘Go into the village over there,’ he said. ‘As soon as you enter it, you will see a donkey tied there, with its colt beside it. Untie them and bring them to me. If anyone asks what you are doing, just say, “The Lord needs them,” and he will immediately let you take them.’” (Matthew 21:2–3 NLT) A Sunday school teacher asked her class, “Does anybody know what next Sunday is?” A little six-year-old girl raised her hand and said, “Next Sunday is Palm Sunday.” The teacher said, “Very good. Do you know what the meaning of Palm Sunday is?” The little girl replied, “That is the day Jesus rode into Jerusalem on the back of a donkey and the people laid palm branches at His feet.” The teacher said, “That is exactly right. Does anybody know what the following Sunday is?” The same little girl raised her hand and said, “That is the day that Jesus rose again from the dead. It is Easter Sunday.” “Very good,” the teacher said. The little girl continued, “But if He sees His shadow, He will have to go back into the ground for six weeks.” For the next two and a half weeks leading up to Easter, we’re going to look at the meaning and significance of several different events that took place during the Passion Week—the days from Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday. And we’re going to start with the arrangements Jesus made for His arrival in Jerusalem for the Passover celebration. Jesus had made the trip to Jerusalem countless times for various festivals and occasions. But His arrival on Palm Sunday was unique. Look at His instructions to His disciples in the passage above. Hundreds of years earlier, the Old Testament prophet Zechariah had written these words: “Rejoice, O people of Zion! Shout in triumph, O people of Jerusalem! Look, your king is coming to you. He is righteous and victorious, yet he is humble, riding on a donkey—riding on a donkey’s colt” (Zechariah 9:9 NLT). Jesus was certainly aware of the prophecy—and so were many people in the crowd that awaited Him in Jerusalem. Prophecies about the Messiah—the King, the Chosen One—loomed large in Jewish life. But always with a political slant. The Jewish people of Jesus’ day were waiting for a Messiah who would lead them in revolt against the Roman Empire. Their baseless expectations often distracted them and kept them from embracing Jesus’ teachings about the kingdom of Heaven. So Jesus rarely announced Himself as the Messiah during His public ministry. But that changed on Palm Sunday. When Jesus chose a donkey colt as His means of transportation, He was sending an unmistakable message. He was saying to everyone, “I am the king Zechariah prophesied about. I am the Chosen One, the Son of God. The Messiah has come!” In the culture of the first century AD, a king who entered a city on a donkey came in peace; a king who entered a city on horseback came to conquer. So Jesus was also making it clear that He was not a political threat to Rome. He was, however, a threat to the Jewish religious leaders. He knew they were plotting to kill Him. He knew that in a matter of days, His disciple Judas Iscariot would help them by agreeing to betray Him. So Jesus’ decision to enter Jerusalem on a donkey was also intended to provoke His enemies. He wanted them to follow through on their plans to execute Him so that He could fulfill God’s plan of salvation. Jesus made it clear that He is the Messiah, God’s chosen One to save the world. Everyone who believes in Him will reap the rewards of His saving work—that is, eternal life. Reflection question: How do you know that Jesus is the Messiah, the Savior of the world?

The boys are back in Oliver Marketing for a combination of a discussion of Dan's week on the road and a stranger trip down memory lane. A reflective mailbag brings us back to Plovdiv in addition to spawning memories of a different time, an era of late night love letters on Galway Bay FM long before Johnny was whispering sweet nothings as a co-commentator watching his beloved Bohs and Galway. There's also a bit of chalice work, parental compassion, the hooligan collection box, the AI man makes another cameo, an unexpected diversion to Jordan and even some football conversation with Dan playing a small portion of Marc Canham's academy update. Is he the Chosen One? And why is it even pronounced that way?

Homily by Father Peter Zwaans - Mount Gambier Catholic ParishGospel Luke 9:28-36Jesus took with him Peter and John and James and went up the mountain to pray. As he prayed, the aspect of his face was changed, and his clothing became brilliant as lightning. Suddenly there were two men there talking to him; they were Moses and Elijah appearing in glory, and they were speaking of his passing which he was to accomplish in Jerusalem. Peter and his companions were heavy with sleep, but they kept awake and saw his glory and the two men standing with him. As these were leaving him, Peter said to Jesus, ‘Master, it is wonderful for us to be here; so, let us make three tents, one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.' – He did not know what he was saying. As he spoke, a cloud came and covered them with shadow; and when they went into the cloud the disciples were afraid. And a voice came from the cloud saying, ‘This is my Son, the Chosen One. Listen to him.' And after the voice had spoken, Jesus was found alone. The disciples kept silence and, at that time, told no one what they had seen.The Gospel of the Lord.R/ Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

March 2, 2025 Luke 9:28-36 (ESV) 28 Now about eight days after these sayings he took with him Peter and John and James and went up on the mountain to pray. 29 And as he was praying, the appearance of his face was altered, and his clothing became dazzling white. 30 And behold, two men were talking with him, Moses and Elijah, 31 who appeared in glory and spoke of his departure, which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem. 32 Now Peter and those who were with him were heavy with sleep, but when they became fully awake they saw his glory and the two men who stood with him. 33 And as the men were parting from him, Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is good that we are here. Let us make three tents, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah”—not knowing what he said. 34 As he was saying these things, a cloud came and overshadowed them, and they were afraid as they entered the cloud. 35 And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is my Son, my Chosen One; listen to him!” 36 And when the voice had spoken, Jesus was found alone.

#1 Thing Keeping God's Chosen Ones from Spiritual Destiny! | Cub Kuker Supernatural Podcast (EP526)The greatest deception ever imposed on God's chosen ones is the idea that Scripture must be read as a literal, historical narrative. This is the single most destructive mindset that keeps the spiritually awakened trapped in limitation, chasing timelines instead of unlocking the supernatural power within them. The Bible itself declares that it is an allegory—yet countless seekers still try to force a physical, historical framework onto a text that was always meant to be read spiritually.——“Chosen One, Walk in the Mysteries of God's Supernatural Abundance!”

HT2144 - The Chosen One When I developed the idea of folios and started producing them in 1990s, I experienced a most unexpected bit of feedback. With almost perfect statistical distribution, each image in a folio would become someone's favorite. At first I thought this was a curiosity, but I've come to realize it's more significant than that.
"You are the chosen one—listen well.I'm the shadowed librarian, keeper of this sanctum of forbidden knowledge.Perhaps you have heard whispers of this place—a colossal black stone sanctum, shrouded in an eternal mist, resting in the heart of a deep mountain valley.This is the Forbidden Library, a vault of long-lost knowledge and forbidden spells forgotten by time.The ancient gates inscribed with seals of arcane power only the chosen may break. Yes, you succeeded because you are destined.As you cross the threshold, the faint glow of candlelight illuminating your path.Towering shelves hold tomes bound in leather from creatures long forgotten, their spines marked with runes that shift and writhe under your gaze.Each book is sealed by ancient spells, impenetrable to all but those who fate deems worthy.Tread carefully—the words within these pages are not mere ink and parchment but living power that can alter the very fabric of existence. The knowledge you uncover may grant you the power you desire or it may bind you forever within the silence of these hallowed halls.Go forth, Chosen One, and face the secrets that await.The answers lie in your hands."

Yes, you succeeded because you are destined.As you cross the threshold, the faint glow of candlelight illuminating your path.Towering shelves hold tomes bound in leather from creatures long forgotten, their spines marked with runes that shift and writhe under your gaze.Each book is sealed by ancient spells, impenetrable to all but those who fate deems worthy.Tread carefully—the words within these pages are not mere ink and parchment but living power that can alter the very fabric of existence. The knowledge you uncover may grant you the power you desire or it may bind you forever within the silence of these hallowed halls.Go forth, Chosen One, and face the secrets that await.The answers lie in your hands."

In this episode of Page Burners, the group discusses chapters 14-19 of Gardens of the Moon, focusing on character dynamics, the significance of the Warrens, and the themes of manipulation and immortality. The conversation delves into the tragic existence of the Tist Andii, the horrors of Dragnipur, and the emotional impact of action scenes. The group reflects on the mythology and world-building in Malazan, drawing parallels to real-world concepts and exploring the nature of identity over time. In this conversation, the participants delve into various themes surrounding the nature of pain, the consequences of power, and the complexities of being a chosen one in fantasy narratives. They explore the role of magic, the significance of names, and the philosophical implications of morality, questioning whether it is absolute or relative. The discussion also touches on the dynamics of relationships influenced by divine forces and the symbolism present in the narrative, particularly regarding the Jahgut and their violent nature. Ultimately, the conversation highlights the intricate interplay between character agency, external influences, and the moral dilemmas faced in the fantasy genre.Find Carl: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/30017647.Carl_D_AlbertFind Varsha: https://www.youtube.com/@ReadingByTheRainyMountainSend us a messageSupport the showFilm Chewing Podcast: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2235582/followLens Chewing on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@lenschewingOn VERO: https://vero.co/lenschewingSpeculative Speculations: https://creators.spotify.com/pod/show/speculative-speculationsSupport the podcast: https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/7EQ7XWFUP6K9EJoin Riverside.fm: https://riverside.fm/?via=steve-l
In the first episode, host Dr. Mimi Haddad meets with Rev. Dr. Aída Besançon Spencer to discuss Bible translation. Aída considers the different goals of translation teams from translations focused on a word for word translation; to meaning for meaning; to thought for thought and those that are a paraphrase. Each translation team from the NRSV, to the NIV, KJV and the ESV elevate their priorities in ways that are often helpful. In addressing the complexities of Bible translation, Aída gave the following helpful insight. She said: Translators are caught between rendering Form vs. meaning. A “formal translation”/formal-equivalence/literal/word for word/linguistic= Translation tries to preserve form (syntax and sentence structure) of the original to convey meaning. The emphasis is the original text, E.g. NRSV, NAS. It Allows the reader to interpret. A “dynamic-equivalence”/functional-equivalence/cultural =Translation expresses the original meaning in the natural form of the receptor language. The receptor language is emphasized. Translators seek equivalence in meaning or thought for thought translation, E.g., TEV, NEB. It does more interpretation for readers. A “paraphrase”=A freely rendered restatement (of another translation) of the author's thoughts in different words. But it is not a commentary, e.g. Living Bible, The Message. Aída cited those who contribute to the ESV team, noting their commitment to male-authority. She also expressed her preference for the NRSV assessing how the different translations render the crucial text 1 Tim 2:4–5—as it explains the work of Christ. She said: “who desires all people (anthrōpōs) to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men (anthrōpōs), the man (anthrōpōs) Christ Jesus,” ESV “who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus,” NIV “who wants all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, (NASB) “Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus” (KJV) “who desires everyone to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God; there is also one mediator between God and humankind, Christ Jesus, himself human, (NRSVupdated)+ CEB “God wants everyone to be saved and to know the whole truth, which is, There is only one God, and Christ Jesus is the only one who can bring us to God. Jesus was truly human. (CEV)-a dynamic equivalent “Our Creator longs to set all people free and guide them into the full understanding of the truth. For there is only one Great Spirit, and only one who can bring the Great Spirit and human beings together in peace. That one is Creator Sets Free (Jesus) the Chosen One, who is himself human.” (First Nations Version) “Our Savior God wants all humans to be saved and to come into knowledge of truth. For God is one, one is also a mediator between God and humans, human Christ Jesus, the One having given himself as a ransom on behalf of all” (ABS). 1 Timothy NCCS ABS 48-51 For clarity on confusing passages that seem to diminish the dignity, value and agency of women or minorities, Aída recommends Bible translation teams comprised of men and women who do not unite in their preference for male-leadership as the ESV translation team does. Aída also celebrated the diversity of opinion on the NIV translation team which is led by expert Bible translators who differ on their view on women's leadership. It's always better to move beyond a single narrative on key issues. Aída discussed the NT and OT texts that challenge 3 New Testament passages (1 Tim. 2:11-15; Eph. 5:21-23) which routinely eclipse the many passages that demonstrate women's leadership, like Acts 2:2-21; Gal. 3:28 and passages that demonstrate the leadership of Huldah and Deborah. Aída ends by emphasizing the oneness of man and woman, cited in Genesis 1:26-30 as both were called to rule over the world together, in a world without sin. Paul picks this up in Galatians 3:28, we are clothed in Christ—a purple robe, our true identity. In considering marriage, specifically in Eph. 5. Aída explained that Ephesians 5:18-21 is one sentence in Greek, with 2 main ideas: “And do not get yourself intoxicated with an intoxicating substance, in which is wild living, but be filled with the Spirit. What does it mean to be filled with the Spirit? Paul then uses 5 participles to describe what it means to be filled with the Spirit: “speaking to one another in psalm and hymns and spiritual songs, Singing Making melody in your heart to the Lord Thanking always for all in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to Father- God Submitting yourselves to one another in fear/respect of Christ.” Verse 22 has no verb in the best Greek manuscripts: “the women…to own husbands as to the Lord…” Aída will return next month to address Bible translation as it has been used to further abuse and ethnic prejudice rather than human flourishing.

“In the beginning the Word already existed. The Word was with God, and the Word was God.” (John 1:1 NLT) John wastes no time in establishing Jesus’ identity. The apostle begins his Gospel with the same wording Moses used in Genesis 1:1 to show that God existed before creation. John’s point is that Jesus, too, existed before the world was created. Not only was He with God at the beginning, but He also was God. Jesus is the second person of the Trinity—that is, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. Jesus gave life and light to creation. And when the people who received life turned their backs on Him to pursue their own sinful ways, Jesus did something so amazing that John can barely find the words to do it justice. Jesus, God Himself, entered the world He created. He squeezed His infinite presence into a small container of flesh. He made Himself susceptible to pain, weakness, sorrow, and rejection. He lived among us. He humbly, faithfully, and lovingly served the people He created. John refers to Him as the Word because He embodied everything that God the Father wanted to communicate to us. Everything Jesus said and did reveals something about God. Very few people recognized Him as God, even though the Jewish people of His day were waiting for the Messiah, the Son of God. The problem was that they’d already made up their minds about what the Messiah would be like and what He would do. And Jesus didn’t meet their expectations. So they rejected Him. And the ones who led the rejection were the ones who should have recognized Him first: the Jewish leaders of Israel. Of course, God anticipated that people wouldn’t recognize His Son. So He sent John the Baptist to announce His coming. And He gave John the Baptist a sign so that he would recognize Jesus. When John the Baptist saw a dove descend on Him, he knew Jesus was the Chosen One. That’s why he was able to confidently point to Jesus and announce, “Look! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!” (verse 29) Still, most people—including the Jewish religious leaders—refused to recognize the truth. The leaders even sent a delegation to John the Baptist to ask if he was the Messiah. All the while, John the Baptist kept pointing to Jesus. While he was standing with two of his own disciples, John the Baptist saw Jesus and said, “Look! There is the Lamb of God!” The two disciples immediately left John the Baptist to follow Jesus. Two thousand years later, this same scenario is still being played out. People still refuse to recognize the truth about Jesus because He doesn’t fit their idea of what the Son of God should be. And those of us who do recognize and follow Him still have the opportunity and responsibility to say, “Look! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!” — Listen to the Greg Laurie Podcast Become a Harvest PartnerSupport the show: https://harvest.org/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Order 65, a contingency plan within the Republic's legal framework, authorized the Senate or the Supreme Commander, which in this case being, Chancellor Palpatine, to be removed from power if deemed unfit or treasonous. If this happened during the events of Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith, Order 65 could have drastically altered the galaxy's fate. By exposing Palpatine's manipulation and his secret identity as Darth Sidious, the Jedi could have united the Republic's forces, including the clone troopers, against him instead of being targeted by Order 66. This would have preserved the Jedi Order, potentially avoided the rise of the Empire, and allowed Anakin Skywalker to fulfill his role as the Chosen One without succumbing to the dark side. The survival of the Jedi would have meant a stronger, unified resistance against the Sith's influence, fundamentally changing the balance of power in the galaxy and preserving hope and peace for generations.

[SEGMENT 2-1] The Myth of Obama For years, many people have insisted that Barack Obama is the puppeteer behind Joe Biden's presidency, labeling it Obama's "third term." The idea has become a refrain among political commentators and average citizens alike. But let me be clear: Obama is no puppet master. In fact, he isn't even in control of his own home—let alone the White House. Imagine being the former leader of the free world and your wife can make you crap your pants when she yells or gives you "the look". That statement isn't meant to be an attack on Michelle Obama, nor am I suggesting she's an abuser. But everybody knows she could kick Barack's behind. Patrick Bet-David reinforces what I have been saying about Obama for years: Patrick Bet-David NAILED IT. President Trump didn't just beat Kamala Harris. He also demolished Barack Obama's legacy forever. "His voice doesn't carry weight anymore. He was out there begging, screaming, scolding... Obama has to eat his words for the rest of his life." - Via… pic.twitter.com/hewGhepajW — George (@BehizyTweets) November 21, 2024 [X] SB – Patrick Bet-David on Obama Loser this election. [SEGMENT 2-2] The Myth of Obama 2 [X] SB – Maxine Waters slams Obama What True Leadership Looks Like Obama embodies: controlled, carefully curated, and ultimately hollow "leadership". Real leaders are shaped by strength, conviction, and the ability to inspire lasting loyalty and respect. They don't rely on PR gimmicks, and they certainly don't crumble under pressure. History's greatest leaders—men and women who saved nations or transformed the world—are remembered for their courage and vision. Barack Obama? He was a carefully manufactured personality, propped up by media hype and cultural sentiment rather than actual achievement. Metrosexuals like Obama don't lead nations; they run boutique consulting firms or manage niche start-ups. Obama's Rise: A Cult of Personality Obama's first presidential victory was a triumph of image over substance. His charisma captured the imagination of an electorate desperate for “hope and change,” thus his lack of experience was conveniently ignored. His second victory? A pity vote. [SEGMENT 2-3] The Myth of Obama 3 Many Americans felt his lackluster first term wasn't enough to gauge his potential, and others feared being labeled racist if they denied him a second chance. But that second term was just as unimpressive as the first, rendering Obama the Affirmative Action president. I've written extensively about how Obama's second term ended in disappointment, especially for Black Leftists. His administration offered them little more than symbolic gestures dressed up as progress. Take, for instance, Valerie Jarrett's infamous attempt to pacify Black voters by touting two of Obama's “achievements”:Subsidized healthcare, which many labeled as a version of reparations.Reducing sentencing disparities between crack and powder cocaine.Talk about out-of-touch leadership! This was akin to telling struggling Americans, "Let them eat cake." Obama's Slide from Savior to Sideline Barack Obama began as the “Chosen One,” a metrosexual messiah who promised a utopia of "hope and change." By his second term, though, the messiah had lost his magic. Democrats endured devastating midterm losses, and the crown jewel of his presidency—Obamacare—was a bureaucratic mess that even its supporters grumbled about. Obama's charisma dwindled, his once-commanding presence reduced to a tepid “please clap” energy. By the time 2016 rolled around, Obama couldn't even gift-wrap the presidency for Hillary Clinton. Despite his tireless campaigning, Hillary got stomped by Donald Trump—a man Obama had mocked relentlessly. Talk about karma coming back faster than Joe Biden forgetting his next sentence. The Fantasy of Obama's "Shadow Presidency" When Obama left office, there was a frenzy of speculation about his post-presidency influence. Maxine Waters famously suggested that Obama had amassed a treasure trove of "dirt" on Washington insiders and was assembling a secret command center. [X] SB – Maxine Waters on database Organization that contains a database that no one has seen in life. Organizing for America Information This shadow presidency, some claimed, would enable Obama to wield unprecedented power. But what did we get? Some Netflix specials and Michelle Obama becoming more relevant than he is. In reality, Obama never had real power. His influence was always more theater than substance. This was evident in his embarrassing farewell tour. At his final UN appearance, the lack of interest was palpable. I watched as he concluded a speech, unnoticed by the distracted audience, only to receive a single reluctant clap as he exited the stage. It was a moment that underscored just how far his star had fallen. Obama's attempts to campaign for Hillary Clinton in 2016 were equally telling. Despite his best efforts, including a rally in Philadelphia that barely drew 30 people, Clinton lost. The myth of Obama's influence continued to unravel. [SEGMENT 2-4] The Myth of Obama 4 [X] SB – Joe Rogan on Obama The Biden Era: Not Obama's Third Term Fast-forward to the Biden presidency, and the refrain of Obama's supposed puppeteering persisted. But let's be real: The people who orchestrated Biden's rise are far more strategic and ruthless than Obama could ever hope to be. Obama was a product, designed to win in 2008. The architects of his ascent never intended for him to hold actual power—they used him until he was no longer useful. If you still believe Obama is pulling strings, consider this: Obama's absence from Biden's campaign wasn't a coincidence. He knew the fix was in, and he didn't want to tarnish his carefully maintained image by aligning too closely with Biden. Then came Kamala Harris. And the cabal took Obama from the stables and trotted him out one more time to usher the pseudo-Black female candidate to victory. Obama was so effective, I doubt anybody could tell you where and when he stumped for Harris. In the end, Obama failed to bring the victory. Again. Compare Obama to Trump's Spectacular Comeback Donald J. Trump, the man Democrats thought they had buried under an avalanche of scandals and impeachments. When Trump left office, the Left were popping champagne, thinking they had finally neutered him. But Trump's “exile” turned out to be more that of the Count of Monte Cristo's. Unlike Obama's flaccid second term, Trump's hypothetical second term is shaping up to be historic. He plans to dismantle the administrative state and drain the swamp for real this time. Where Obama faded into irrelevance, Trump has kept the Left sweating bullets, whether it's rallying record-breaking crowds or being the kingmaker for Republican candidates. Obama couldn't even fill a rally in Philadelphia during 2016, struggling to draw more than a handful of attendees. Meanwhile, Trump's rallies remain Woodstock for conservatives. You have to laugh: the man Democrats branded a political pariah wields more power post-presidency than Obama did at the height of his. Ironies and Realities of Obama's Influence Let's not overlook the hypocrisy here. Obama, hailed as the Democrats' savior, couldn't save them from irrelevance, while Trump—written off as a political flash-in-the-pan—is orchestrating what could be the most radical reworking of government in decades. Democrats thought Obama's legacy would endure for generations. Instead, they're stuck watching their "cool dad" fade into the background as Trump reshapes the GOP and dominates headlines. The takeaway? Obama was always a figurehead, a carefully crafted icon whose power dissolved as soon as the teleprompter was unplugged. Trump, by contrast, thrives without a script. That's the difference between being a puppet and pulling the strings. Barack Obama isn't a titan of influence or a mastermind of political strategy. He's a symbol—carefully packaged and marketed for a moment in history. His relevance has faded, as it was always destined to. Obama's legacy is built on illusion, the same illusion that Joe Biden was elected in a fair process. Why Common Sense Matters in Politics For years, I've been telling people that Obama isn't the leader they think he is. And time has proven me right. This isn't about boasting; it's about trusting your own judgment. Politics isn't as complicated as the media makes it seem. Look past the headlines, and the truth becomes clear: Obama's legacy is one of mediocrity, not mastery.

When LeBron James talked about wanting to play in the NBA with his son Bronny, he was still in high school. But like The Chosen One moniker he wore when in high school himself, sure as shit he made it happen. At least I give him props for that. MR X gives us his weekly update on NFL strategy, back-door covers, and how did the numbers shake out for Week 7. We also make our picks for Thursday Night Football between the Rams and Vikings.
