**Why No One Is Deporting the Pilgrims: A Question With Deep Roots** *A question that circulates widely online, "When will the Pilgrims or European immigrants get deported?", is usually asked as a pointed joke. It also raises real questions about history, law, and who gets to decide who belongs.* The Pilgrims landed in 1620 in territory of the Wampanoag, whose communities had already been devastated by disease. Over the next centuries, treaties were signed and broken, land was taken, and Native nations were forced from their homelands. Tribal citizenship and U.S. citizenship were often denied to Native people, and Congress did not extend citizenship to all Native Americans until 1924. **The legal answer is simple.** Deportation applies only to noncitizens, and the 14th Amendment grants citizenship to anyone born on U.S. soil. The Pilgrims died centuries ago, and their descendants, like those of most European immigrants, are citizens. No legal mechanism exists to remove them, and few serious voices propose one. **The moral argument is more complicated.** Critics of the question say it equates modern immigrants with historical colonizers, which ignores that today's migrants hold no power over past conquests. Others note the framing is mostly rhetorical, meant to expose what they see as a double standard in debates over who is "legal" and who is "illegal." Many Native advocates say the real issue isn't removal but accountability. Their goals include honoring treaties, returning some public lands to tribal stewardship (the "Land Back" movement), strengthening tribal sovereignty, and teaching more accurate history. Some tribes have successfully regained land through purchases, legal settlements, and transfers. **Where the debate divides:** - *Supporters of stricter immigration enforcement* argue that nations have the right to set entry rules, and that this is separate from historical grievances.

Good afternoon Family, I pray your day is blessed! In Joel 2:25 Heavenly Father said He will restore all things back to you that was eating up by His great army He sent out. And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you." Are you prepared for this blessing Heavenly Father is pour upon His people? Make yourself ready for it and look to it because He said Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing, Now it shall spring forth; Shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness And rivers in the desert. Make your self ready for this blessing because it is here now said the Lord! He promises to give back what was lost or wasted during times of great hardship and destruction. 2 Corinthians 1:20 say; For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us."Get ready because it's here. By the power of Holy Spirit so it is, so shall it be, so be it! God bless you all! 💚

WHEN PROCEDURE SEPARATES A FATHER AND CHILD I entered Probate Court seeking to establish paternity and pursue custody. I expected disputed statements to be tested and a clear path toward resolution. Instead, the mother’s marital status, and a spouse who never appeared, became a barrier. What did the mother tell the court about her spouse? What documents supported her account? Who verified his location or involvement with the child? What search or service efforts were completed? If those records exist, they should show what occurred. A filed document is not automatically true. Sworn testimony is not automatically accurate. When facts are contested, a court should identify the source, address contradictions, and explain why one account was accepted over another. Otherwise, procedure can shield unsupported claims. I was the father standing before the court, submitting information and asking to be legally recognized. Yet I was left trying to resolve another man’s absence. Why was greater scrutiny placed on the father who appeared than on the account concerning the spouse who did not? Being allowed to speak is not the same as being meaningfully heard. Due process requires an opportunity to challenge information affecting the decision, and an explanation showing that the challenge was considered. Meanwhile, the child keeps growing. Court files preserve motions, orders, and dates. They do not preserve missed birthdays, interrupted bonds, or years a child cannot recover. A future order cannot return a childhood. Before calling a father absent, examine what stood between him and his child. Before using an absent spouse as a barrier, show what was verified. Before calling the process fair, produce the record showing both sides received equal scrutiny. The question is not only, “Where is the spouse?” It is: Who had the authority to resolve that issue, and why was a father-child relationship left waiting behind it?

Philippians 4:9 Paul writes to the believers in Philippi, he encourages them to live in harmony, cooperate with each other, rejoice in the Lord always, and to let all men know and recognize their unselfishness. They’re…We’re not to fret or have any anxiety about anything, and pray with thanksgiving, making our wants known to God. Paul tells us to imitate him, to model our way of living after his…and the peace of God will be with us. Paul isn’t telling us to model his life through a spirit of Pride, but rather a spirit of Humility, knowing God‘s peace can be interrupted at any time. His gnarled hands, his thorn in his side, his flesh that reminds him of imprisonment in Roman cell and a shipwreck. It’s not the troubles he points us to, but it’s the character of the spirit he has in spite of them. He encourages us to do God‘s will and trust Him for the details… and the Peace. Paul had all the reason in the world to embrace a spirit of Self-Pity, his choice to follow Jesus changed things for him. He was no longer the persecutor, he was the persecuted. It wasn’t as if he didn’t understand the job description, he counted the cost, he chose to wait patiently for the time he would be at ‘home’ with Christ. It’s Paul’s confidence in what it means to have peace with God that strikes us today. This message of Truth transported through the ages, to every believer in every generation is blessed when they claim to it. It’s a peace that transcends all understanding, we can’t explain it other than… it’s God. It’s ours in our deepest suffering and our greatest joy, it’s ours when we don’t understand, when we feel alone, weak and exhausted. It refreshes us, restores us and makes us whole in Him. If we don’t have peace, it isn’t because someone or something took it away from us. The only way we lose our peace is if we give it up freely when we doubt, waiver, or don’t trust God in every situation we face. Paul doesn’t tell us to be like him because he’s so awesome …(see comments)
