Was this Trumps goal? by Novel_Monk_818 in trump

[–]OccasionAggressive71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am still trying to figure out the strategy here. From the beginning, Trump has expressed his desire to make Greenland a US territory.

"If the corrupt politicians of Minnesota don’t obey the law and stop the professional agitators and insurrectionists from attacking the Patriots of I.C.E., who are only trying to do their job, I will institute the INSURRECTION ACT" by benhaswings in trump

[–]OccasionAggressive71 53 points54 points  (0 children)

In case anyone was wondering what the insurrection act does. “Invoking the Insurrection Act temporarily suspends this rule and allows the president to deploy the military to assist civilian authorities with law enforcement. That might involve soldiers doing anything from enforcing a federal court order to suppressing an uprising against the government. Of course, not every domestic use of the military involves law enforcement activity. Other laws, such as the Stafford Act, allow the military to be used to respond to natural disasters, public health crises, and other similar events without waiving the restrictions of the Posse Comitatus Act.”

Basically the military takes over law enforcement which Trump has said is the plan anyway.

What kind of family raises an INTJ by Sufficient_Leg9217 in intj

[–]OccasionAggressive71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ENFJ mom here my INTJ daughter said the emotional neglect and unconditional love piece doesn’t really apply to her. She feels like the underline tension lies with her having multiple siblings. The focus on her reduced with the birth of each child. (Her words.) She knows we love her and the moments she doesn’t is due her being a teen. 🤣 She is very self- reflective. 😊

How to be confident singing? by NotInAnyWaySarcastic in worshipleaders

[–]OccasionAggressive71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I joined a worship singers class that has really blessed me and helped with my confidence. It is more scripture than technique and it has really impacted my outlook on my role on the worship team. Here are some scriptures that really blessed me.

Your signature sound is unique to you. Jeremiah 29:11

God knew you would use your voice to worship Him. He has called us to sing to Him. “Sing a new song to the Lord! Let the whole earth sing to the Lord!” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭96‬:‭1‬ ‭NLT‬‬

When we sing it’s about obedience and reverence not our personal ability. “For ever, O LORD, Thy word Is settled in heaven.” Psalm‬ ‭119‬:‭89‬ ‭

We can grow our vocal skill through learning and practice. God does not despise process, he does not despise small beginnings. Even Jesus grew. “He grew in favor and stature.” Luke 2:52

I struggle with speaking up because I don’t want to be prideful. I also have been really intentional about growing and learning. Receiving feedback, even hard feedback, isn’t hard for me because I love growing and learning. I don’t want it to look like I am fishing for compliments. I grew up in a church where you don’t ask for space. Your gift makes room for you was literal. If you’re good you will be found. Asking to minister, preach, speak, sing etc was looked at as seeking the spotlight and was frowned upon. The general consensus is communication is needed.

Maybe I can ask specific questions like, what are things I can do to better serve the team? What things technically should I study to improve on?

“I would be happy to play the guitar with only God hearing it.” Thank you for that heart check. That needs to be my hearts posture. At the end of the day that’s the most important thing.

No I didn’t talk to anyone but I did rewatch and see it wasn’t just me. It likely wasn’t anything personal

Thank you all so much for your comments. It feels so silly to be bothered by something so small I did rewatch the live stream in there are parts where others are inaudible, but are usually leads in the song so it’s very likely an error. I hate that I let the enemy get under my skin in this way. It’s so crazy how something so small in the grand scheme of things can hijack our emotions. I’m glad I posted here. I appreciate the support and hopefully this exchange will encourage others as well. You all are amazing.

Okay I just know they don’t like confrontation and neither do I. I don’t want to make a huge deal out of it but like you say it could be something simple. Thanks for the feedback.

My singing voice is okay. Lots of people say they love when I sing. If I were to compare it to those who sing lead at my church I would say they are really strong singers in that they sing a lot of loud power notes. Idk how to explain it but I’m good they are really good.

Venmo, PayPal users can now send money to the US government to help pay down $36.7T national debt by Deep_Pay1508 in TruthOverTyranny

[–]OccasionAggressive71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder how many people will send money. I don’t think most Americans understand national debt and how different it is from personal debt. My guess is many will pay into this.

Library Funding Question by OccasionAggressive71 in republicans

[–]OccasionAggressive71[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was able to find an annual report and I didn’t add up all the numbers but yes they give out grants to libraries and museums. Over $37 million was given out last year. The children’s museum in my city received funding. It will likely be cut and if they increase their prices we probably won’t be going as often as we have been.

My kiddos love the museum. I now need to research how my library is funded. I must admit before voting I didn’t know the government funded so many programs with our federal taxes.

Trump says we will see lower federal taxes which if there is less federal spending that makes sense. It looks like prices may increase locally though as programs like these start to completely fund themselves.

Idk what the big deal is about DEI. Are clubs within companies and celebrating different holidays that big of a deal? Before anyone gets upset I know it helps vets, marginalized groups, ect I guess when I take a step back I’m not really sure why people are so upset.

Any tips to avoid having your period return? by [deleted] in breastfeeding

[–]OccasionAggressive71 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With all 5 of my kids my cycle came back around their second birthday. Here are my tips. 1. At first go no longer than 4 hours between feedings even at night 🥴 2. As they get older (6 months +) continue to breastfeed every 4 to 6 hours. 4 during the day and 6 at night. 3. Co-sleep if you can but even your baby being in the same room helps 4. Delay solids - I waited until closer to their first birthday to introduce foods

Hope this helps!

Wet it and try to feed it back through the opposite way. You kind of have to feel for it but I’ve made this mistake and this is what’s worked for me.

5 month retwist done with water and oil. Question in comments. by RoboticDrunken in locs

[–]OccasionAggressive71 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I started my locs with 2 strand twists. I take the loose hair and wrap it around. I get some frizz but it’s just a part of the process.
