Sometimes life can get you down. It can be confusing and challenging beyond belief. These inspirational life path quotes will comfort you.

Sometimes we just feel loss. Whether we recently lost our jobs, sufferered a bad breakup, or feel like all our peers are progressing quicker than we are – those feelings are there. There are times in life we all get that feeling that we don’t really know who we are, what we want, or where we want to go in the future.

Some people believe in the Numerology Life Path Number. As we’ve shared before, this is a combination formula that uses your birth date to place you on a numerology chart. That then gives you a life path number, which is a single digit number. This number then has a special meaning, and can show you a lot about yourself, your personality, and help guide you to the path you should take.

At the very least, you should give the Numerology Life Path Number a try. What do you have to lose? If that still doesn’t work – or if you’re just super wear about it – there are still some things you can do when you’re feeling a bit lost about things.

Confide in a close friend. Take time for yourself each day. Read inspiration life path quotes to help you get set on your journey, and to remind you that you’re not alone. Here are some great ones.

Intuition is our link between our chosen journey on our life path and our earthly choices using free will.” – Christine Whelan

“ Even though the path is dark there is always a way through.” – Rhonda Savage Thompson

Think of physical paths – just because it’s nighttime or dark, the path is still there, leading to an exit. Just because things seem dark around you right now doesn’t mean that the path leading to an exit isn’t there – it is, and at times like those, you need to especially remember that.

Travel isn’t always pretty. It isn’t always comfortable. Sometimes it hurts, it even breaks your heart. But that’s okay. The journey changes you; it should change you. It leaves marks on your memory, on your consciousness, on your heart, and on your body. You take something with you. Hopefully, you leave something good behind. Anthony Bourdain

Journeys: exploring your world, inside and out, leaving home to find home.

Posted March 15, 2012

If we are always arriving and departing, it is also true that we are eternally anchored. One destination is never a place, but rather, a new way of looking at things.

-Henry Miller

Journeys are one of the most powerful and literal tools for making passages or transitions because they manifest our internal drives and desires in the outside world. The journey is a deliberate effort to move beyond ourselves. We venture into unfamiliar territory to seek challenge and change, to find new answers and dimensions. Journeys free us from the bounds of our own space, allowing us to experience things in a way that is not possible in our home environment. They open us up to the unexpected and the magical. Such experiences can be consciously recognized as markers of past growth and impetus to further growth, as steps beyond limitations and into freedom, and as leaps into new aspects of one's identity .

Journeys also help us connect with the universal sense of what it means to be human. When we journey among others beyond the familiar, we have the opportunity to see what is common among all people: how we love, how we work, how we relate in family and community, what our basic needs are, and how we meet them. Journeys connect us with the pathos of the human experience, and through this teach us compassion for others. They broaden our understanding, heighten our experience of who we are, and challenge us to express our true nature more fully.

The journey may be a trip to just get away for a while, or a move to a place that becomes our new home. It could be a "call to adventure"-the hero's journey-following a deeply felt desire, an instinctive pull to a place for some purpose. Our journey may be to overcome a specific obstacle or to connect with a spiritual or historical source. Or perhaps the impetus simply resides in the knowledge that going someplace new will bring new opportunities for change. We may not know what we're looking for, but we know we're looking, and the journey helps us to find it.

There is a long history of renowned "rite of passage" journeys. In literature, the protagonists of works such as The Odyssey and Pilgrim's Progress were transformed by epic journeys that moved them through several phases of their lives. The enlightened religious masters tested their faith, strength, and resiliency, or strove toward a higher level of understanding, in solitary journeys. The Buddha left his cloistered world of privilege to witness poverty, disease, and death. Jesus journeyed into the wilderness for forty days and nights to test himself against temptations and evils. Moses climbed Mount Sinai to receive the Ten Commandments.

Pilgrimages are another classic form of the "rite of passage" journey. According to anthropologist Victor Turner, the pilgrim hopes to have "direct experience of the sacred, invisible, or supernatural order, either in the material aspect of miraculous healing or in the immaterial aspect of inward transformation of spirit or personality ." In addition to being an obligation for the devout, more and more individuals are visiting sacred sites in order to access and enrich their spiritual lives.

In contemporary culture, the hero's journey is a widely used rite of passage. Its appeal is evident in the enormous interest in reality TV shows which depict all kinds of challenges and transformations. The key ritual elements-separation, the ordeal, and return-are present, yet instead of being positive journeys to the soulful place within, these TV journeys are typically about outdoing fellow travelers, with competition obliterating compassion. Nonetheless, this phenomenon is evidently tapping into the collective unconscious : exploration and pioneering are, once again, exciting to the human psyche. Something stirs inside us when we see human beings entering forsaken lands, carrying nothing to ensure their survival but their personal baggage. We encourage from our living rooms. We root for someone with whom we identify. We plan strategies, fantasizing how we would behave, what we would do, if we were there. Remarkably, the medium of television, which all too often dulls our awareness, seems to be activating an ancient consciousness within us. This same enthusiasm can serve us immensely if it moves us beyond spectatorship, spurring us off our couches and into the adventure of our own lives.

I've found journeys to be a great tool for making passages in my own life, and I highly recommend them to my friends and patients when feasible. Journeys may serve to give them a boost, to remove them from a difficult situation, or to help them experience new things without daily life excuses; for instance, they can gain new perspectives on their psychological life by wandering alone or speaking with strangers, they can acquire enrichment through embracing other cultures and traditions, and generally they can do things they would never do and be someone they would never be at home. The journey is often the key to moving them into new phases of their lives. Journeys are not so much about going to a certain place but about bringing the world inside oneself, and in doing so, broadening one's self-knowledge.

Democrats grow concerned Republicans are planting seeds with legal suits to overturn a Trump defeat

WASHINGTON — Republicans are setting off a slew of legal fights in the battleground states ahead of the November election, raising suspicions among Kamala Harris and her Democratic allies that the underlying goal is to gin up doubts about the result if Donald Trump loses.

Georgia’s Republican-controlled State Election Board is trying to give local officials the power to decide on their own whether something untoward happened during the balloting, which could slow the process of identifying the winner.

In Michigan, Republicans are suing over whether the city of Detroit hired enough GOP poll workers, and in North Carolina, they’re alleging that the state’s voter rolls could allow noncitizens to vote.

All those claims look different on the surface. But the Harris campaign says there’s a pattern tying them together: Trump and his Republican allies want to sow confusion about the outcome should he lose. Democrats have submitted legal filings in at least one case that convey their misgivings about what they contend is the true purpose of the GOP litigation.

A defeated Trump could invoke the cases to revive his unfounded claim that election procedures are tainted in ways that should nullify the result, Harris campaign officials say. Trump and his allies filed dozens of unsuccessful cases after the 2020 election in a drumbeat of false claims of election fraud that culminated in a mob’s attacking the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, to try to prevent the certification of Joe Biden's victory.

“We believe that every case they’ve filed is a brick in the foundation of an argument that they will make in November to say that the election is rigged,” a Harris campaign official said on condition of anonymity. “That is fundamentally our view of what their litigation is about. That is why we are prepared, we are winning in court, and we will ensure this election is free and fair.”

The Trump campaign referred questions to the Republican National Committee.

A spokesperson for the RNC, Claire Zunk, said in a statement: “President Trump’s election integrity effort is dedicated to protecting every legal vote, mitigating threats to the voting process, and securing the election. While Democrats continue their election interference against President Trump and the American people, our operation is confronting their schemes and preparing for November.”

With rare exceptions, the two-month interregnum between the election and Inauguration Day tends to be quiet. That wasn’t the case in 2020, when Trump worked to overturn the result and remain in office.

He still faces federal criminal charges stemming from that quixotic effort. He has been indicted by special counsel Jack Smith on charges of trying to defraud the American public and disenfranchise voters across several states, but the trial has been delayed, and it is unlikely to take place before the election. Trump has denied wrongdoing and pleaded not guilty.

Both sides are girding for a contested postelection period. Chris LaCivita, a Trump co-campaign manager, suggested at a Politico event over the summer that Democrats could try to overturn the results if Trump wins: “It’s not over until he puts his hand on the Bible and takes the oath. It’s not over until then. It’s not over on Election Day. It’s over on Inauguration Day, because I wouldn’t put anything past anybody.”

Democrats began preparations years ago, with lawyers drafting briefs in anticipation that Republican officeholders might, for example, refuse to certify election results, a second Harris campaign official said.

“This is the most prepared that any Democratic campaign has been at this point, because we knew this was coming," the official said. "It’s critical to have these people in the states who know the law and the players and have lived through 2020, saw what happened there and learned from it.”

Among other legal challenges, Republicans have opposed Arizona’s election procedures manual and Nevada’s law allowing mail ballots to be counted after Election Day as long as they were postmarked beforehand.

Ground zero might be Georgia, a state that Biden narrowly won in 2020 and that Harris is aggressively working to hold . Trump faces criminal charges in Georgia over his efforts to overturn his defeat in the state four years ago. He has pleaded not guilty.

At issue this year is whether county election boards in Georgia are free to use their own discretion in certifying election results. The Republican-controlled State Election Board voted 3-2 last month to expand the powers of local officials, enabling them to certify results after having conducted a “reasonable inquiry” into their accuracy. There was no definition of what a "reasonable inquiry" entails.

Trump has praised the three Republicans who voted for the rules as “pit bulls” for honesty.

But Democrats caution that the new rules could disrupt the hard-and-fast timetable to certify elections in Georgia. Furthermore, local election boards have never had that kind of authority, and they are supposed to perform merely the straightforward task of adding up the vote totals, Democrats argue. If anyone alleges fraud occurred in an election, the proper place to test the claim is the courts, they add.

“If someone thinks that there’s a reason to throw out ballots, that’s a decision that’s made by the courts,” Sara Tindall Ghazal, the lone Democrat on the State Election Board, said in an interview. “That is not a decision made by a partisan body of civilians on election boards, many of whom have no background in any of this other than their partisan relationships."

Justin Levitt, an election law professor at Loyola Law School in Los Angeles and a former Biden White House official specializing in democracy and voting rights, said the role of a county election board is tantamount to simple addition.

"It's a process of saying 1 + 1 equals 2. It's not to say, '1 + 1 equals I don't know whether there are bamboo fibers in the ballots.' That's not what they [local election boards] are there for," he said, referring to a conspiracy theory that circulated in 2020 about fraudulent ballots from Asia.

The Democratic National Committee sued the board last week to block the new procedures from taking effect.

In its filing, the committee argued that the new rule would “introduce substantial uncertainty in the post-election process” and “invite chaos by establishing new processes at odds with existing statutory duties."

Both the Harris and the Trump campaigns are deploying ample legal muscle for the election and its aftermath. An RNC memo released in February said the committee was involved in 78 lawsuits in 23 states.

“Should the Democrats choose to continue their attacks on election safeguards through Election Day, we will be prepared to litigate and ensure the election is fair, transparent, legal, and accurate,” said Zunk, the RNC spokesperson.

The Harris campaign says it has retained hundreds of attorneys spread throughout the country to protect her legal interests. Heading the team’s legal election protection efforts is Dana Remus, Biden’s former White House counsel.

The campaign is getting some outside help, as well. Jim Messina, who managed Barack Obama’s 2012 re-election campaign, has started a political action committee that can raise unlimited sums of money and will also assist in courtroom efforts. Norm Eisen, special counsel to the House Judiciary Committee for Trump's first impeachment trial, is outside counsel to the group.

One casualty of contested election results is public confidence in the system, election experts warn. Voters come to feel democracy is broken and may react by either refusing to participate or lashing out in anger.

Trump has fed doubts about the trustworthiness of U.S. elections in both victory and defeat.

When he won in 2016, he claimed without basis that he had lost the popular vote only because millions of people voted illegally for his opponent, Hillary Clinton. And when he lost in 2020, he argued the election was “rigged” in Biden’s favor.

Though he lost California by more than 5 million votes that year, Trump said recently that he would win the state if Jesus Christ or, alternatively, an honest mortal were counting the votes.

“Trump said if it wasn’t for rigging, he would have won California. That’s like me saying if it wasn’t for rigging, I’d be a supermodel ,” Messina said.

In the years since Trump has advanced erroneous claims of voter fraud, the partisan divide over election integrity has deepened. A poll conducted last year found that only 22% of Republicans were highly confident that the votes in the 2024 presidential election would be counted accurately, compared with 71% of Democrats.

“We already have members of the public who are 100% convinced that there’s no way possible to have free and fair elections in Georgia,” said Ghazal, the Georgia election board member.

Many of Trump’s supporters who stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6 did so in the mistaken belief that he was robbed of victory in 2020. The first rioter to breach the building, Michael Sparks, told the judge at a hearing last week that he believes “to this day” that the election was stolen from Trump . Sparks was sentenced to more than four years in prison.

Some election experts fear that Trump’s voters are apt to resort to violence again if he loses in November.

“I’m worried about the potential for chaos,” Levitt said. “For people who are told the election is stolen, taking to the streets is very natural when you believe you have no power to affect the outcome peaceably.”

Don’t Stop Believin’ in a Journey World Tour — Band Is Back on the Road as Members Settle Their Legal Differences

Don’t stop believin’ in the possibility of a unified Journey, which has seemingly seen members Jonathan Cain and Neal Schon put their latest dispute to rest.

That dispute, we reported closer to August’s beginning, centered on touring-related disagreements between Cain and Schon. With each possessing a 50 percent interest in the companies responsible for handling Journey’s dealings, the veteran musicians have for years clashed over expenses and a whole lot else.

As it pertains to one of the companies, Freedom 2020, the two couldn’t agree on matters including tour accommodation expenditures, security costs, the employment status of various personnel, and more. Alleged unilateral spending on the part of Schon was a particularly significant issue, Cain described.

The hang-ups, which brought about the cancellation of the UK leg of the band’s ongoing tour, came to light in a late-July filing submitted by Cain to the Delaware Chancery Court.

In the action, the 74-year-old asked the court to appoint a third-party director to Freedom 2020 so as to remedy the deadlock (between him and Schon, who held all voting rights) over so many of the famed rock group’s business moves.

Given the 50-50 voting-rights structure, it was proving exceedingly difficult to agree on operational details and to appoint another director, Cain explained in more words.

Now, the impasse (but not the wider rift) looks to have been put in the rearview; Cain’s attorneys just recently announced the appointment of a tie-breaking independent director to handle the specifics of Freedom 2020.

Furthermore, the announcement arrived after Schon last week acknowledged that he and Cain “don’t always see eye-to-eye on everything or, sometimes, on pretty much anything.” But the 70-year-old also expressed a desire to bring on the third-party director and move past the friction so the tour could proceed.

Running with that point, the fresh statement from Cain’s legal team reads: “Mr. Schon is prohibited from unilaterally acting on behalf of the Company and all future deadlock between Mr. Cain and Mr. Schon will be broken by the vote of the Custodian.

“Mr. Cain is elated with the outcome and looks forward to moving beyond this matter so that Journey can continue the band’s 50th Anniversary Freedom Tour,” the message concludes.

As scheduled, this tour will see Journey perform in San Diego tonight, play four more stateside shows through September 8th, head to Brazil and Chile later that same month, and then entertain fans in Japan well into October. At present, the group doesn’t appear to have rescheduled the previously noted UK dates, which had originally been teed up to begin in October as well.

On the Covid ‘Off-Ramp’: No Tests, Isolation or Masks

For many, Covid is increasingly regarded like the common cold. A scratchy throat and canceled plans bring a bewildering new critique from friends: You shouldn’t have tested.

• Share full article

By Emily Baumgaertner

Emily Baumgaertner, the national health correspondent, has a graduate degree in public health and has covered Covid since 2020.

Jason Moyer was days away from a family road trip to visit his parents when his 10-year-old son woke up with a fever and cough.

The prospect threatened to upend the family’s plans.

“Six months ago, we would have tested for Covid,” Mr. Moyer, 41, of Ohio, said. This time they did not.

Instead, they checked to make sure the boy’s cough was improving and his fever was gone — and then set off for New Jersey, not bothering to tell the grandparents about the incident.

In the fifth summer of Covid, cases are surging, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has reported “high” or “very high” levels of the virus in wastewater in almost every state . The rate of hospitalizations with Covid is nearly twice what it was at this time last summer, and deaths — despite being down almost 75 percent from what they were at the worst of the pandemic — are still double what they were this spring.

As children return to schools and Labor Day weekend travel swells, the potential for further spread abounds. But for many like Mr. Moyer, Covid has become so normalized that they no longer see it as a reason to disrupt social, work or travel routines. Test kit sales have plummeted . Isolation after an exposure is increasingly rare. Masks — once a ubiquitous symbol of a Covid surge — are sparse, even in crowded airports , train stations and subways.

Human behavior is, of course, the reason that infections are soaring. But at some point, many reason, we need to live.

“I no longer even know what the rules and recommendations are,” said Andrew Hoffman, 68, of Mission Viejo, Calif., who came down with respiratory symptoms a few weeks ago after his wife had tested positive for Covid. He skipped synagogue, but still went to the grocery store.

“And since I don’t test, I can’t follow them,” he said.

Epidemiologists said in interviews that they do not endorse a lackadaisical approach, particularly for those spending time around older people and those who are immunocompromised. They still recommend staying home for a couple of days after an exposure and getting the newly authorized boosters soon to become available ( despite the poor turnout during last year’s round).

But they said that some elements of this newfound laissez faire attitude were warranted. While Covid cases are high, fewer hospitalizations and deaths during the surges are signs of increasing immunity — evidence that a combination of mild infections and vaccine boosters are ushering in a new era: not a post-Covid world, but a post-crisis one.

Epidemiologists have long predicted that Covid would eventually become an endemic disease, rather than a pandemic. “If you ask six epidemiologists what ‘endemic’ means, exactly, you’ll probably get about 12 answers,” said Bill Hanage, associate director of the Center for Communicable Disease Dynamics at Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health. “But it certainly has a sort of social definition — a virus that’s around us all the time — and if you want to take that one, then we’re definitely there.”

Certain threats remain clear. For vulnerable groups, the coronavirus will always present a heightened risk of serious infection and even death. Long Covid, a multifaceted syndrome, has afflicted at least 400 million people worldwide, researchers recently estimated, and most of those who have suffered from it have said they still have not recovered.

But the C.D.C. director, Dr. Mandy Cohen, called the disease endemic last week, and the agency decided earlier this year to retire its five-day Covid isolation guidelines and instead include Covid in its guidance for other respiratory infections, instructing people with symptoms of Covid, RSV or the flu to stay home for 24 hours after their fever lifts. The updated guidelines were an indicator that, for most people, the landscape had changed.

Dr. Hanage defended the hard-line mandates from the early years of the pandemic as “not just appropriate, but absolutely necessary.”

“But,” he said, “it is just as important to help people onto an off-ramp — to be clear when we are no longer tied to the train tracks, staring at the headlights barreling down.”

The absence of stringent guidelines has left people to manage their own risks.

“I don’t bother testing myself or our kids for Covid,” said Sarah Bernath, 46, a librarian on Prince Edward Island in Canada. “My husband doesn’t test himself either. Knowing if it’s Covid wouldn’t change whether I stay home or not.”

In some social circles, diverging choices can make for uncomfortable dynamics.

Debra Cornelius, 73, of Carlisle, Pa., stayed home from a recent indoor party because she learned that several other guests — a family of five — had returned from vacation and tested positive for Covid three days before the gathering, but still planned to attend.

“They said, ‘Oh, it’s like a bad cold, we wouldn’t stay home for a cold,’” she said. “I think people’s attitudes have changed considerably.”

But for countless others, attitudes haven’t changed at all. Diane Deacon, 71, of Saginaw, Michigan, said she tested positive for Covid three days into a trip to Portugal with her two adult daughters. She isolated herself for five days before flying home wearing a mask.

“A number of people asked me, ‘Why did you test? You could have carried on with your vacation,’” she said.

For Ms. Deacon, it was about remembering the refrigerated morgue trucks of 2020 and anticipating the vulnerable people she might see on her flight home — people in wheelchairs, or people on oxygen, she said.

“I’m trying to avoid a moral judgment of people who make other choices,” she said. “To me, it was inconvenient and it was unfortunate, but it was not a tragedy.”

In a Gallup poll this spring, about 59 percent of respondents said they believed the pandemic was “over” in the United States, and the proportion of people who said they felt concerned about catching Covid has been generally declining for two years. Among people who rated their own health positively, almost 9 in 10 said they were not worried about getting infected.

That could be, at least partly, a result of personal experience: About 70 percent of people said they had been through a Covid infection already, suggesting that they believed they had some immunity or at least that they could muscle through it again if need be.

If the Olympics were any barometer, the rest of the world seems to have exhaled as well. In Tokyo in 2021, there were daily saliva samples, plexiglass dividers between cafeteria seats and absolutely no live spectators; the arenas were so empty that coaches’ voices echoed. In Beijing in 2022, under China’s zero-tolerance policy, conditions were much the same.

But in Paris last month, the organizing committee for the 2024 Olympics offered no testing requirements or processes for reporting infections, and so few countries issued rules to their athletes that the ones that did made news .

There were high-fives, group hugs, throngs of crowds and plenty of transmission to show for it. At least 40 athletes tested positive for the virus, including several who earned medals in spite of it — as well as an unknowable number of spectators, since French health officials (who had once enforced an eight-month-long nightly Covid curfew) did not even count.

In the United States, about 57 percent of people said their lives had not returned to prepandemic “normal” — and the majority said they believed it never would. But the current backdrop of American life tells a different story.

The years-old social-distancing signage is faded and peeling from the floors of an indoor market in Los Angeles. Hand-sanitizer dispensers at amusement parks have dried up. The summer camp hosted by Chicago’s Lincoln Park Zoo requires children to bring a face covering — not to protect other children, but the animals.

Michael Osterholm, the director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota, said the newfound complacency can as much be attributed to confusion as to fatigue. The virus remains remarkably unpredictable: Covid variants are still evolving much faster than influenza variants, and officials who want to “pigeonhole” Covid into having a well-defined seasonality will be unnerved to discover that the 10 surges in the United States so far have been evenly distributed throughout all four seasons, he said.

Those factors, combined with waning immunity, point to a virus that still evades our collective understanding — in the context of a collective psychology that is ready to move on. Even at a meeting of 200 infectious disease experts in Washington earlier this month — a number of whom were over 65 and had not been vaccinated in four to six months — hardly anybody donned a mask.

“We’ve decided, ‘Well, the risk is OK.’ But nobody has defined ‘risk,’ and nobody has defined ‘OK,’” Dr. Osterholm said. “You can’t get much more informed than this group.”

Asked about how the perception of risk has evolved over time, Dr. Osterholm laughed.

“Lewis Carroll once said something like, ‘If you don’t know where you’re going, any road will take you there,’” he said. “I feel in many ways, that’s where we’re at.”

Bible Verses About Journey

What does the bible say about journey.

Have you recently trusted in Christ alone for salvation? Now it’s time to start your journey. Your Christian journey will not be easy, but God will give you strength to press on daily and overcome any situation. God promises to work in your life until the end to make you more like Christ. The Christian life is like a huge adventure with Christ.

You might have to take a few pit stops, you might get a flat tire here and there, you might go through a few thunderstorms , but though all your experiences, fruit is being built. You are becoming stronger, and your faith and reliance in Christ is growing.

God will take out bad habits and sin from our life. God has given us various things to help us on our journey such as prayer. We must spend time with the Lord daily . We are to have an intimate relationship with God. We are given the Bible to help us walk uprightly.

Scripture will help us connect and focus on the Lord. It will protect us from many different situations in life and give us daily wisdom. God has given believers the Holy Spirit to help us on our walk of faith. He will guide us in the right direction.

He will show us what to do. He will convict us when we’re going the wrong way. He will show us things in our lives that are holding us back and more.

We can also pray to the Spirit for help, peace, and comfort in times of trouble. We might be in the world, but we are not to follow the worlds desires. Allow your journey to glorify God.

Christian quotes about journey

“ My life is my journey with God . It may be hard sometimes but I am assured it would be all worth it.”

“Difficult roads often lead to beautiful destinations.”

“The only impossible journey is the one you never begin.”

Trust in the Lord on your long journey.

1. Proverbs 3:5– 6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart , and do not rely on your own understanding.  Acknowledge him in all your ways, and he will make your paths straight.

2. Jeremiah 17:7 Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord , and whose hope the Lord is.

Journey of life with God

God will work in your life to conform you into the image of Christ. The little things that you might go through are to help change you.

3. Romans 8:29 For those He foreknew He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son , so that He would be the firstborn among many brothers .

6. Colossians 2:6-7 And now, just as you accepted Christ Jesus as your Lord, you must continue to follow him. Let your roots grow down into him, and let your lives be built on him. Then your faith will grow strong in the truth you were taught, and you will overflow with thankfulness.

You will have to go through many trials and different obstacles.

7. James 1:2-4 Consider it a great joy, my brothers, whenever you experience various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance . But endurance must do its complete work, so that you may be mature and complete, lacking nothing.

8. Romans 5:3-5 Not only that, but we also boast in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, endurance produces character, and character produces hope. Now this hope does not disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.

9. John 16:33 I have told you these things so that in Me you may have peace. You will have suffering in this world. Be courageous! I have conquered the world.”

10. Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

Keep your eyes on your captain or you will get lost and distracted.

12. Hebrews 12:2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith ; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

You will not get through your walk of faith without prayer.

13. Luke 18:1 Jesus told his disciples a parable about their need to pray all the time and never give up.

14. Ephesians 6:18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit , and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints .

God gave you a helper. Allow the Holy Spirit to work in your life and guide your life.

15. John 14:16 I will ask the Father to give you another Helper , to be with you always.

16. Romans 8:26 At the same time the Spirit also helps us in our weakness , because we don’t know how to pray for what we need. But the Spirit intercedes along with our groans that cannot be expressed in words.

Meditate on the Word: Allow God to guide you through His Word.

17. Psalm 119:105 Your word is a lamp to guide my feet and a light for my path.

18. Proverbs 6:23 For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:

Imitate Christ and do the will of God.

19. Proverbs 16:3 Commit to the LORD whatever you do , and he will establish your plan.

20. John 4:34 Jesus said to them, “ My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to accomplish his work.

On our journey we must continually avoid Satan, confess our sins, and forsake them.

21. Ephesians 6:11 Put on all of God’s armor so that you will be able to s tand firm against all strategies of the devil.

22. 1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins , he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

23. 1 Timothy 6:12 Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called and about which you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.

Examples of journey in the Bible

24. Jonah 3:2-4 “Go to the great city of Nineveh and proclaim to it the message I give you.” Jonah obeyed the word of the LORD and went to Nineveh. Now Nineveh was a very large city; it took three days to go through it.  Jonah began by going a day’s journey into the city, proclaiming, “Forty more days and Nineveh will be overthrown.”

25. Judges 18:5-6 Then they said, “Ask God whether or not our journey will be successful.” “ Go in peace,” the priest replied. “For the LORD is watching over your journey.”

Isaiah 41:10 Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be afraid, for I am your God . I will strengthen you; I will help you; I will hold on to you with My righteous right hand.

Clearing at the end of the Path 

“Go now. Our journey is done. And may we meet again, in the clearing at the end of the path.”  

Stephen King- The Dark Tower

This line was the inspiration for the painting. I painted this after the passing of my Dad. We all know that this life will end and we have different ideas on what will happen next. When you are young and healthy the end of the path is far in the distance. On your path you gain experience through time, decay and loss or the realization of the fragility of one’s own body. Most religions of the world now and throughout time have a place where one is reunited with loved ones. The idea of a clearing at the end of the path is a simple and poetic statement. This appeals to me as a watcher, student, and participant of the journey

The 2.0 PTR: What You Need to Know

The armies of the Burning Hells grow restless, anxious to inflict more wounds upon Sanctuary. Muster the strength to protect your home, wanderer.

The 2.0 Public Test Realm (PTR) for Diablo IV will be available from September 4–11 , offering you the chance to test upcoming changes and features releasing for the base game with the next Season and the Vessel of Hatred Expansion.

The purpose of the PTR is to test updates and features before the launch of Season 6. Then, using your feedback, we’ll adjust the content within before it goes live for everyone. The feedback we receive helps us to fine-tune balance changes, eliminate bugs, and create the best experience possible. Having a PTR gives us a chance to test new systems, and we’re grateful for your assistance.

The fires of Hell burn bright in their anticipation of your arrival! Here is what the 2.0 PTR will be previewing.

Why Make Systemic Changes?

Leveling adjustments, new difficulties system, paragon updates, item quality rework, new class skills and passives, runewords: a new source of power, wander boldly with party finder, features offered for testing, how to provide feedback, how to install the ptr, 2.0 ptr patch notes.

Please note that this is a preview for PTR content, which is subject to change. The content shown in this PTR will be accessible to all players upon launch and won’t require the Vessel of Hatred Expansion to experience (unless otherwise noted).

Developer’s Note: Our original vision for character progression was that you would have a grand journey, traversing through World Tiers, swapping out gear, gaining incremental strength through the Paragon system. We felt that was fun the first time, but on repeated play throughs, World Tier III and Sacred items felt artificial and added a lot of stat bloat that didn’t make the game more fun. Since launch we’ve added endgame features, like Infernal Hordes and The Pit of the Artificer. Vessel of Hatred will expand the endgame line up even further, adding Dark Citadel and Undercity to the mix. Our hope is that these new systemic changes allow for new characters to reach the endgame faster.

Back to Top

The way Paragon Points function has been adjusted. Going forward, earned Paragon Points will now be tied to Realm versus Character Level. This means that all Paragon Levels earned will be shared across all your characters on the same Realm. To support this shift, we’ve made a variety of alterations to the leveling journey, other stats, and monster levels. Numbers and values are also more easily understandable.

Paragon and Character Level Split

Paragon and character levels are now split out, with Levels 1–60 representing character level. This means you can earn an additional 10 Skill Points, opening additional avenues of character customization. Starting at Level 60, players will begin to earn Paragon Levels which can be used to unlock Paragon Nodes.

Characters above Level 50 will have all their experience-based Paragon Points converted to a Paragon Level. Here’s an example of this change:

• If your character is Level 100 currently, once these changes go into effect, your character level will be reduced to 50, and all 200 Paragon Points your character has earned with be converted to Realm-wide Paragon Levels. If your character is Level 50 and below, nothing will change for them.

Developer’s Note: The changes to leveling and Paragon were made with the intent of getting you to endgame activities and gear at a more rapid pace and making it easier to ramp up your alt characters for the fight ahead.

Stat Adjustments

In addition to splitting out character and Paragon levels, we've revisited stats like Health, Armor, and Core Stats.

Developer’s Note: We’ve received player feedback stating that the numbers used to depict stats and damage have gotten out of control. We’ve adjusted stats in a way that makes the information more consumable. This change has no bearing on the strength of your character.

Standard Difficulties

Developer’s Note: Much of what drove these changes was noticing that it was more fun to be able to control your difficulty and reward pacing using Profane Mindcages and Tormented versions of bosses.

World Tiers have been changed to Difficulties, a new way to control your challenge and reward. The first 4 Difficulties—known as Standard Difficulties—are Normal, Hard, Expert, and Penitent. The purpose of Standard Difficulties tiers is to temper your character while you strive to hit character Level 60, the new maximum.

• Normal is a slower-paced mode suited for those looking for a lighter challenge.
• Hard and Expert offer an increased challenge for those looking to test their mettle and play at a faster pace.
• Penitent isn’t for the faint of heart. Those looking to pave a path to the new Torment Difficulties will face off against heightened danger. Play at your own peril!

As you accelerate in Difficulty, the amount of Gold and experience you earn will rise too. Here’s how to unlock each Difficulty:

• Normal and Hard are unlocked by default.
• Expert is unlocked after completing Diablo IV’s prologue.
• Penitent is unlocked upon reaching Level 50.

Your Gateway to Hell: Torment Difficulties

Making it to the new Torment Difficulties is the mark of a veteran warrior—this is where the endgame truly begins. In Torment Difficulties, your progression is directly linked to the Pit. As you strive to higher Pit Tiers, the Torment Difficulty you have access to will also increase. The higher the Torment Difficulty, the more likely you are to encounter Legendary and Ancestral item drops. Here’s the breakdown of how to unlock each Torment Difficulty:

• Reaching Level 60 unlocks the Pit and Tiers 1–20 of it. Beating Pit Tier 20 unlocks Torment Tier I.
• Beating Pit Tier 35 unlocks Torment II.
• Beating Pit Tier 50 unlocks Torment III.
• Beating Pit 65 unlocks Torment IV.

As if danger wasn’t abundant enough in Sanctuary, Torment Difficulties foster a new hazard: Curses. While playing in Torment Difficulties, your armor and Resistances are reduced as follows:

• Torment 1: -250 Armor and -25% All Resist
• Torment 2: -500 Armor and -50% All Resist
• Torment 3: -750 Armor and -75% All Resist
• Torment 4: -1000 Armor and -100% All Resist

By adding more Difficulties and separating them out in this way, players now have increased choice in how they engage with the risk and reward style of Diablo IV going forward.

Monster Levels

Monsters will no longer have their level displayed and will scale to the Difficulty you’re playing on.

Developer’s Note: We received feedback at launch about level scaling and feeling weak. By removing monster levels entirely and leaning into Difficulty, you now have the freedom to more precisely choose your challenge level.

Developer’s Note: There were a few issues with Paragon Glyphs, the Pit, and Nightmare Dungeons. We received feedback that the Pit rewards were feeling lackluster. We wanted to make the action of upgrading Glyphs more satisfying, while simultaneously offering better rewards for pushing deep into the Pit. Our desire was to give Glyphsmore power, but the Glyph upgrading experience system did not scale well and was needlessly grindy. So, to achieve this goal, we moved Paragon Glyphs upgrading out of Nightmare Dungeons and into the Pit, and also redesigned the system to give more control over how quickly Glyphs can be upgraded.

Glyphs have undergone a metamorphosis to better meld with the other changes we’ve made.

• Upgrading a Glyph is no longer driven by experience. Instead, you’re given attempts to increase your Glyph’s Rank by completing Pit Tiers.
• Three attempts to upgrade your Glyph’s Rank are rewarded for successfully completing the Artificer’s Mastery, and a bonus attempt for not dying.
• Each upgrade attempt can be used to increase any Glyph that isn’t already at max level. The chance to upgrade your Glyph is based on the level of the Glyph and the Tier of the Pit you complete. For example, completing a Pit Tier that is 10 higher than your Glyph’s Rank guarantees an upgrade Rank.
• Completing a Pit Tier that is significantly higher than your Glyph’s current Rank grants bonus upgrade ranks per attempt.

Every 20-level difference between the completed Pit Tier and Glyph Rank grants a bonus upgrade per attempt. Here’s an example of this system in action:

Three deathless Pit Tier 30 runs would take a Glyph all the way up to Rank 19, rapidly unlocking the additional Radius Size increase:

First Pit Run

• Attempt 1: Glyph Rank increases from 1 to 3.
• Attempt 2: Glyph Rank increases from 3 to 5.
• Attempt 3: Glyph Rank increases from 5 to 7.
• Bonus Attempt 4: Glyph Rank increases from 7 to 9.

Second Pit Run

• Attempt 1: Glyph Rank increases from 9 to 11.
• Attempt 2: Glyph Rank increases from 11 to 12.
• Attempt 3: Glyph Rank increases from 12 to 13.
• Bonus Attempt 4: Glyph Rank increases from 13 to 14.

Third Pit Run

• Attempt 1: Glyph Rank increases from 14 to 14 (Radius Size increase).
• Attempt 2: Glyph Rank increases from 15 to 16.
• Attempt 3: Glyph Rank increases from 16 to 17.
• Bonus Attempt 4: Glyph Rank increases from 17 to 18.

The maximum level of a Glyph has been increased from 21 to 100. At Level 45, a Rare Glyph can be upgraded to a Legendary Glyph using Gem Fragments with the following bonuses:

• The Glyph’s Radius Size has increased from 4 to 5.
• The Glyph gains an additional affix.

Paragon Boards

Each Class has received 1 new Paragon Board. These Paragon Boards each come with a new Legendary Node as well. Additionally, only 5 Paragon Boards can be equipped, including your starting board.

Developer’s Note: With the introduction of so many new sources of power, namely Legendary Glyphs, we wanted the focus to be more on which board and glyphs you want. By limiting the number of boards, we can inject more power into choices made within the system.

The number of Paragon Points that can be earned by leveling has increased from 200 to 300.

Developer’s Note: Limiting the number of Paragon Boards attached allows us to concentrate more of the power into the boards and Glyphs themselves. This puts more of the decision-making focus on boards and Glyphs that fit your build.

Developer’s Note: We felt Sacred and Ancestral Items lost their specialness and flair due to how common they became. These changes transform Ancestral items into mighty endgame items worth the chase.

Ancestral Items

• Ancestral items start dropping in Torment 1.
• Ancestral items always drop at Item Power 800, the highest possible.
• Greater Affixes only appear on Ancestral items.
• Ancestral items always contain at least 1 Greater Affix.

• Sacred Items will no longer drop. Any Sacred Items you have on your character will be marked as ‘Legacy.’ They can continue to be used but cannot be upgraded.
• Non-Ancestral items are capped at Item Power 750. Legendary items dropped when you’re Level 60 will always be Item Power 750.
• Item Power 750 items can now be Masterworked up to 4 times.
• Because Character Levels are being re-adjusted in the new Realm-wide Paragon system, items with Item Power over 540 are being adjusted to 540. Affixes on these adjusted items will be rerolled at the highest values in their respective ranges.

1 New Skill for Each Class

Outside of the 2.0 PTR, Runewords are a feature that can only be accessed if you have the Vessel of Hatred Expansion.

Runewords are a way to take your character’s power to a new level by creating your own abilities. There are two types of Runes you’ll find in Sanctuary: Ritual and Invocation. Runes of Ritual specify actions you must take to trigger them, and Runes of Invocation grant a powerful effect when you meet said trigger.

Let’s take the Bac Rune of Ritual as an example. Its condition is for your character to move 5 meters.

And then there’s the Jah Rune of Invocation. Its effect is: Replace your next Evade with the Sorcerer’s Teleport (2 sec cooldown).

Runes work off a resource system called Offering, which is generated by Runes of Ritual upon meeting their listed condition. Runes of Invocation consume this Offering to activate their effects. The more demanding of a requirement, the more Offering the Rune of Ritual will generate. On the inverse, the Offering requirement to activate a Rune of Invocation scales with the strength of its effect.

You may generate more Offering than is required to activate your Rune of Invocation. This is where another mechanic, Overflow, comes into play. Many Runes of Invocation apply a bonus to their effects when more Offering than requires is generated, cranking them up a notch briefly.

To make a Runeword, you must socket a Rune of Ritual and a Rune of Invocation into an item containing two Sockets, such as Chest, Leg, and Two-Handed weapon slots. The Helm slot has also received an additional Socket and can now house a Runeword. Any Rune of Ritual is compatible with any Rune of Invocation. Runes come in 3 rarities: Magic, Rare, and Legendary. The higher a Rune’s rarity, the more potent its effect will be.

Here’s an example of how two Runes formed into a Runeword would function:

Let’s use the Bac Rune of Ritual as an example again: While equipped, every 5 meters your character moves will generate 50 Offering.

And we’ll pair it again with the Jah Rune of Invocation, which has an effect of: Replace your next Evade with the Sorcerer’s Teleport (2 sec cooldown). Requires 500 Offering.

Having both the Bac and Jah Runes equipped to an item you’re wearing created the BacJah Runeword. It also means that every time your character travels 5 meters, they will generate 50 Offering. Once they have generated at least 500 Offering, their next Evade is replaced with the Sorcerer’s Teleport.

Runewords can give you access to Skills from other Classes. They can also do things like temporarily increase your Movement Speed, Skills, and more. There are 17 Runes of Ritual and 28 Runes of Invocation available. With a multitude of ways to pair them, the sky’s the limit. Here are the tooltips for all 45 Runes:

How to Obtain Runes During the PTR

Runes of any rarity can be acquired throughout Sanctuary as a monster drop. For testing during the PTR, 2 caches containing each Rune can be acquired from the ‘PTR boost’ NPC located in Zarbinzet through a dialogue option. To give you enough time to experience everything the 2.0 PTR has to offer, Runes will not be available in the PTR until September 6 . We cannot wait to see the formidable Runeword combinations you come up with during the PTR.

Party Finder is here to help you locate the right allies! This new feature allows you to find wanderers of a similar mettle within Sanctuary.

Go Far, Go Together

Party Finder gives you the ability to list the type of party you’re looking for, set what game type or activity you’d like to run, where you’d like to play, and add preferences for both casual and completionist players alike.

You can use Party Finder to list or find a party for multiple activities within Sanctuary: from slaying through Nightmare Dungeons, selecting Wings to complete in the Dark Citadel, and finding other players to share Materials to summon Endgame Bosses, to completing your Codex of Power. Party Finder can be accessed in a variety of ways, with quick access via the Map, in-game Menu, or through a pre-set action on your emote wheel.

We will have servers for PTR in our largest regions: North America, Europe, Korea and Japan, South America, and Australia. Characters on your account have been copied ahead of time to help prepare for the PTR, although some of their items may be out of date compared to how they are currently set up in-game. Once you log-in through Battle.net, your account will carry over the following account-based progress:

• Campaign Completion
• Mounts and Skill Points
• Altar of Lilith Stat bonuses

As many of the changes in this PTR are systematic, the following features will be offered to aid players in testing everything. At the Boost NPC in Kyovashad you can:

These commands can be ran all at once or individually. The Boost NPC will be available starting September 6. For the first bit of the 2.0 PTR, we want to be able to collect information and feedback about a player’s natural experience without any modifiers.

Your feedback on the changes you will see and experience in the PTR is important to us and is vital in ensuring the 2.0 PTR is the best it can be when it goes live in Diablo IV proper. If you participate in the PTR, please let us know what you think!

You can provide feedback through the in-game feedback tool or the Diablo IV PTR forums . Pressing the Esc key while in the in-game menu will bring up the Report a Bug menu. You can select the dropdown filter and select the In-game feedback tool to provide feedback without leaving the game.

Here are the steps to join the PTR:

Developer’s Note: Cataclysm was previously updated to be guaranteed to hit an enemy with its lightning strikes, if one is in range. We really like how much better the skill feels to use with this change! However, It turned out to be a bit overpowered. Now we’re limiting how frequently Cataclysm's lightning strikes can repeatedly hit the same target to ensure that other Ultimate Skills can still be a competitive option in single target situations. The damage of the lightning strikes is being increased to compensate.

Ursine Strength

• Damage bonus while Healthy reduced from 30%[x] to 15%[x].
• Maximum Health bonus increased from 20%[x] to 30%[x].
• Overpower damage bonus increased from 30%[x] to 45%[x].

Developer’s Note: Ursine Strength is one of the most popular Key Passives for Druids. It was designed with Werebear and or Overpower focused builds in mind. However, it is often being used in builds that have little interest in Werebear Skills or Overpower effects, simply because the 30%[x] Damage bonus while Healthy was generically powerful. We are reducing the power of this effect, while increasing the Maximum Health and Overpower damage bonuses to better support its Werebear and Overpower niche, and not be as generically appealing to other builds that it was not intended for.

• Now: When Shapeshifting, Werebear grants 3/6/9% Damage Reduction and Werewolf grants 2/4/6%[+] Movement Speed. Both bonuses persist as long as you are in either animal form and are doubled while both are active. They are lost after 3 seconds in Human form.

Bestial Rampage

• Previous: After being a Werewolf for 2 seconds, gain 30%[+] Attack Speed for 15 seconds. After being a Werebear for 2 seconds, deal 50%[x] increased damage for 15 seconds.
• Now: When Shapeshifting, Werebear grants 30%[x] increases damage and Werewolf grants 20%[+] Attack Speed. Both bonuses persist as long as you are in either animal form, but are lost after 3 seconds in Human form.

Here and Now: How to Let Go and Enjoy the Journey

If we spend our whole lives working, rushing, and trying to get to this ideal destination, we miss the journey getting there

Do me a favor.

Just exist. Surrender yourself to the moment. Smile and breathe in all the magic that surrounds you, right now.

Did you do it? Be honest. It’s OK, there’s still time. If you skimmed over the opening of this article I am calling you out about it. It’s with love that I ask you to do this small favor, so take just a few moments to try and become present in the now. Just exist.

Not always easy, huh? Our society tells us to go, go, go. To climb the ladder of success and never give up until we are the best of the best. I know; I grew up with this mentality. My father was the president of large restaurant chains and often worked from sunup to sundown. He loved his work and devoted much of his life to it. That being said, family always came first. He not only taught me the importance of working hard, but also the value of enjoying life at the same time. If we spend our whole lives working, rushing, and trying to get to this ideal destination, we miss the journey getting there. The journey is what’s important, not the destination. It’s the here and now.

When you look up the synonyms of “here and now” you’ll find a long list, including “the present moment,” “reality,” and “real world.” It makes sense. The here and now  is  reality, and we have the infinite power to make it exactly what we want it to be. It feels pretty awesome to know that we are capable of something so substantial. We create our reality. Life is exactly what we make it.

If we spend our whole lives working, rushing, and trying to get to this ideal destination, we miss the journey getting there.

One of my yoga mentors once told me, “The future is a series of nows.” Ain’t that the truth? We spend so much of our lives thinking about things that are uncontrollable. We worry about things that haven’t happened yet. We create stress and lose sleep over our relationships and we end up missing the special, beautiful moments that could have and should have been experienced. Life is NOW. Everything you need and want is in THIS moment.

Every breath is a new opportunity to start over, alter our consciousness, evolve into a better version of ourselves, and to be happy. Allow yourself to transform. Change into the person you’ve always wanted to become. The universe wants to give you everything you need and want. All we have to do is be open and receptive.

Tulsi Gabbard’s journey to Donald Trump is an ominous sign of Putin’s power

From democrat to pro-putin isolationist: how did tulsi gabbard get here, by john davenport.

On Monday, former Democratic House member Tulsi Gabbard, D-HI,  endorsed Donald Trump for the presidency and became one of his surrogates on the campaign trail. This is bad news: it confirms Trump’s tilt towards the dangerous isolationist movement at work in Republican politics for a long time now. 

Gabbard’s opposition to helping Ukraine win its long-suffering defensive war against Vladimir Putin’s slaughter of civilians and annexation of its territory is only the latest installment in her longtime efforts to advance policies that play into Putin’s hands. Immediately after entering Congress in 2013, just months after Syrian tyrant Bashir al-Assad and his Hezbollah allies began murdering hundreds of thousands of Syrians to stop peaceful pro-democracy protests, Gabbard started doing interviews arguing that the U.S. should take no action against Assad's genocidal violence, including his use of chemical weapons . 

She and others like her were influential at the crucial turning point in August 2013. As I explain in my book, A League of Democracies , French President François Hollande argued that strikes on Assad’s air force were needed in response to his violations of international law. Hollande sought support from British Prime Minister David Cameron and U.S. President Barack Obama. Several American foreign policy leaders at the time, like Hillary Clinton and Susan Rice, wanted a Western coalition to go further and establish a no-fly zone to protect Syria’s cities from Assad’s wanton slaughter. But Gabbard, like Edward Milliband in the UK Parliament, led the effort to stop any Western military response to genocide in Syria. She supported Assad’s lie that Assad’s enemies were mostly “terrorists” (in fact, Assad helped to create ISIS so he could peddle the lie that Gabbard so gullibly believed).

The results of this inaction: Assad leveled large portions of major Syrian cities, killed over 300,000 non-combatants , and drove at least six million Syrians to flee – including millions who entered Turkey and Europe – all with Gabbard’s continued support. The devastation in Syria contributed in turn to the European migrant crisis, right-wing nativist backlashes, Brexit, and Turkey’s alienation from its NATO allies, all of which ultimately helped Putin. ISIS rose in the power vacuum and wreaked havoc all across northern Syria and northern Iraq. This eventually forced \ Obama to form a US-led coalition with Syrian Kurds, requiring a continuing American presence on the ground in Syria, and long campaigns of bombardment to oust ISIS from Raqqa and Mosul – which both looked like Gaza today when the campaign against ISIS was done.

We need your help to stay independent

Putin was emboldened by the failure of NATO nations to act against Assad in 2013, even after he crossed the “chemical red line.” So when Ukrainians rose up against their own dictator (a Putin puppet), just as the Syrians had done during the Arab Spring, Putin attacked Ukraine in response. The Russian president annexed Crimea and established proxy forces in Ukraine’s eastern Donbas region to gin up civil war and secession there. The next year, sensing Western weakness, Putin also entered the Syrian civil war on Assad’s side . He said that his forces were battling Sunni Muslim militants or terrorists. That was a lie: most of the air strikes launched from Russia’s expanded airbase in Syria targeted schools, hospitals, and civilian housing in Sunni areas – helping to complete the genocide.

Getting away with this scot-free in Syria ultimately taught Putin that he could use the same scorched-earth mass casualty strategy against the rest of Ukraine. The tide turned against the cause of democracy and human rights in late 2013, democracy has been on the retreat against rising autocracies around the world ever since. Gabbard contributed to this series of disasters, frequently cozying up to Assad and to Putin’s regime and, in recent years, spreading Russian propaganda on fringe far-right sites. The costs for Syria, Iraq, Ukraine, and the NATO alliance are beyond calculation.

Gabbard’s reaction to this was, predictably, to defend Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, shocking even Sean Hannity . It did not matter to Gabbard that, in 1991, the US and UK had convinced Ukraine to hand over its old Soviet-era nuclear weapons to the Russian Federation on the promise that Russia would respect Ukraine’s borders. Instead, she supported the discredited conspiracy theory that the US was helping Ukraine create biological weapons to use against Russian forces. Now, she wants us to let Putin succeed in Ukraine by cutting off American support. 

It is difficult to trace the roots of Gabbard’s delusions. After serving in Kuwait , her opposition to any action against Assad – even if it were only from the air – seemed to flow from a belief that the US should never risk any soldiers on democracy-promotion efforts. She did not grasp the obvious, namely that such a policy of cowardice only telegraphs weakness to leaders like Putin and Chinese Premier Xi, virtually inviting them to help destroy pro-democracy movements anywhere – from Venezuela and Sudan to Hong Kong and Myanmar. Notably, the biggest donor to Gabbard’s political action committee in 2021 was Putin apologist Sharon Tennison .

If Gabbard convinces Trump to back this isolationist policy of dictator appeasement in a second term, the consequences could be even worse than in 2013. If Russia succeeds in hanging on to much of Ukraine’s southeast in addition to the Donbas and Crimea, Xi’s regime will surely be emboldened to invade Taiwan , possibly dragging the US into a huge new war. This time, the forces defending the causes of democracy and human rights may suffer decisive defeat, leading to tyranny across much of the world by mid-century.
