๐Ÿ‘†If you've followed the Jeff.pro channel for some time, you know that in my history, a long time ago, I sold my technology business (was trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market at the time) to Rick Scott, shortly before he got in to politics, when he was working as a Venture Capitalist with his own resources.

Although it was a long time ago--shortly before Rick's first campaign for Governor of Florida--remember it well. Spent about a year flying back and forth from Naples, Forida back then, visiting Rick and his people at his offices, a few times at his house.

Politically, I was supporting Democrats back then. As were some of the people involved in the business transaction (New Yorkers--blue state business brokers).

Rick was a true gentleman, a humble business operator of substantial means despite being the most influential owner and operator of hospitals in the U.S. (Through his company, Columbia/HCA). Really enjoyed getting to know him.

I clearly remember him telling me back then, "Jeff, I think you're a conservative, you just don't know it yet." ๐Ÿคฃ

How to tell if someone is a NPC:

- They strongly favor Ukraine
- They wear a mask
- They push the jab
- They think inflation has been fixed
- They aren't pissed we don't have the Epstein client list
- They aren't pissed we don't have the Nashville shooter's manifesto
- They don't think its weird that the Las Vegas shooting police lead somehow was the same guy from the Maui fires
- They watch mainstream media/news
- They have TDS
- They kneel for the national anthem
- They are a feminist (female)
- They eat soy (male)
- They don't believe elections can be rigged
- They don't want to audit the fed
- They have pronouns in their bio

What would you add to this list?

All the new technology in our world will take a while, longer than many people think, to catch on.

Carry on!

A list of basic commands for the Linux command line.

Newer Linux users will be happy to know that they still don't need to know these, virtually everything can be done in a "point-and-click" way with folders and menus on the desktop, just like you did in your "big-tech" Operating System.

However when the time is right, learning the Linux command line will give you more control over your computer than you ever had when you were still using "big tech."

From a subscriber: "Picked it up used for $50 today. Sixth gen Core i5, 256GB SSD, 16GB RAM, and a RX560 video card.

Planning to use it as a secondary desktop. Brought back to life with Linux!"

Feb 5, 2003. then-Secretary of State Colin Powell, holding up a tiny vial of white powder, which stood for what was supposed to be Saddam Hussein's "anthrax", to the "United Nations Security Council."

โ€œMy colleagues, every statement I make today is backed up by sources, solid sources,โ€™โ€™ Powell told the Security Council. โ€œWhat we are giving you are facts and conclusions based on solid intelligence.โ€

Of course, as the country discovered painfully over the next several months, the super weapons allegedly possessed by Saddam were no more real than a desert mirage, and the โ€œsolid intelligenceโ€ put forward by Powell that day turned out to be mostly conjecture and supposition. The "weapons of mass destruction" turned out not to be there, but a hundred and sixty-five thousand American troops already were, and the catastrophic occupation of Iraq that followed brought to an ignominious end a singular moment of American global dominance and prestige.

We know, in fact, that [they were] under enormous pressure from the White House, where President Bush and Vice-President Dick Cheney had seemingly already made up their minds about invading Iraq, to come up with a solid case to publicly justify the decision.

In other words, Powell was used. Bush, Cheney, and Donald Rumsfeld, who was then the Secretary of Defense, cynically enlisted him and his enormous credibility to make the flimsy, and ultimately faulty, case for war.

Quoting from New Yorker magazine, Oct. 18th, 2021, "Colin Powellโ€™s Fateful Moment."

PRAYER

Almighty God, we are in awe of Your great love for Your children. We cannot fully grasp the grace that You have saved us from sin, yet our hearts overflow with gratitude.

Even when roads seem broken, You walk with us. Every longing leads us closer to You. Heartbreak itself points us to Your arms. Not one struggle escapes Your sight. Your great love warms our hearts. Everything unfolds according to Your wise plan.

Families flourish through Your divine design for life on Earth. From the love of parents to the joy of siblings, each family relationship unveils Your goodness. And the beauty of nature proclaims Your glory. You are the ultimate designer of all things, the best artist. Each delicate bird song, all of nature's beauty, every star in the sky praises You.

We long for when our own voices will join heaven's chorus of worship forever, as each day we navigate here on earth brings us closer to our true home, with You, and our loved ones.

Today we lift our prayer of thanks for the gift of family. We pray that You unite us in praise and deepen our faith in You.

In the mighty name of Jesus, Amen.
